Chapter: 1
月光下的你沉默而孤单

She first caught my eye. Through a small creak between the hospital doors.

Under the moonlight, she looked lonely. She was knitting. What she was knitting, I do not know, nor have any idea. Till this day, I still do not have any idea.

I still remembered the feeling when I set my eyes on her for the first time. The sudden rush of emotions was unusually strong.

Not knowing how to respond to the emotions, I walked away, to join the rest of my friends in the lobby.

I left her at the back of my mind, as I received the news that my best friend is in critical condition and might not live. The rush of emotions was replaced, by denial. I went on rampage, holding the doctor by his collar, threatening him.

Before I could hit him, I was held back by a voice I respected. Which brought be back to reality. I released my grip on the doctor, hung my head low, and walked off.

I could feel the other seven pairs of eyes on me as I left the lobby, without saying another word.

Kami-sama, give him strength to live.
I prayed as I looked back at the hospital which I had stepped out off, before entering the car in front of me.

I walked into school, without a soul.
I could still hear him, breathing heavily through the equipments. The tubes entering and leaving his body, through those cold plastic pipes.
The girls around me are getting on my nerves. Usually, they were alright but today, they are turning into pretty faces with hideous hearts, fighting for my attention with yet another of their hone-made creations. I could feel that sensation to kill come back.
I could hear their whispers...

Fuji-san is not in a good mood today.
Oh nooo, I don't want to make a bad impression on him
I wonder why is he-
Is it because of Eiji?
Opening my eyes, I glared and the girls begun to back out. One by one. The whispers stopped eventually after the teacher stepped into class and called for the attendance.

Class was dreadful without him sitting next to me. Usually, he would be grinning, smiling and making silly faces at the teachers. Today, class was less lively, except for one or two jokes which the teachers tried to crack. And the jokes were not even funny. Perhaps it was because the teachers were all trying too hard to cheer the class up.
The bell rang, after hours of endless speech. I stepped up, walked out of class, and headed for the hospital, where he was.

And as I entered the hospital, my mind wandered to the girl whom I saw through the creek between the hospital doors.
"Is she still there?" I caught myself asking.

I walked to the room where she was and opened the door, as sliently as I could.

Again, I was mesmerized by the sight I saw.

The lone figure on her bed. Still knitting.
She lifted her head, and caught me staring.
Our eyes met for a moment, before she continued her knitting, without acknowledging my presence.
I felt the similar wave of emotions again, just like the time I first saw her but I left, again, without saying another word, and rushed to where he was.

I entered his room, and saw him, still lying there. My heart broke, seeing him in such a state.
There was another presence in the room and my eyes widen to see him here. Rage took over me and before I knew it, I was delivering a punch into his face. Oishi's face.

Oishi did not hide. Neither did he back away. The second my hand came into contact with his face, I felt myself tearing up. I felt Oishi whincing. More importantly, I felt Eiji's heart break.
"Why, Oishi? Why?"

Nya, I hope that was alright. Comments please. More complications to be added in soon
