Prologue
Did you know that a single object can set off a series of old memories?
Not this one. Not this one either. It was here somewhere. I took another step forward before seeing a reflective sparkle to the left of me 3 rows down. Walking up to the familiar stone, I knelt down in front of it. Almost instantly, tears welled up in my eyes and ran down my face. The grave of my fiancee. On top of the second hill from the entrance, between Yamamoto and Smith, the pale grey slab of stone with a single jewel embedded in the top centre and his photograph beneath it, inscriptions on either side reading: Son of Watanabe Ken and Yuhiko, Brother to Miyuki, Hanna, and Takeshi. Fiancee of Shibata Akane. Since his death, I had come here on the last day of every month, bringing a bouquet of white and violet irises.
Just looking at his photograph brought back memories of the time we spent together. Getting driven home from school every day. Finding a stray kitten and raising it. Sneaking away to go on trips during the summer and winter. And eventually...his death.
Putting the flowers down in front of the grave, I couldn't hold back my sadness any longer and as I fell to the ground, crying in agony, pain, loneliness, and sadness. My voice came out as a whimper when I spoke, "Jirou...you promised we'd be together...you promised..." I stayed that way for some time until I heard the sound of people near me.

So what are your thoughts about this so far? Although you may not notice any crossovers, I can assure you that there will be some. But because this is only the prologue to the story, the crossover is a secret. I am most certain that there will be a few characters you may or may not have heard of intertwined with the OC's. I think that's enough notes from me for now (^.^);; Who knows, maybe chapter 1 will come out faster than you'd think.
