Prologue Continued:
"Kai!"
I turned around to see the flamboyant blond run towards us.
"Miwa! Great job!" Kai called out, standing up and jogging over to him. "Aw, yeah! Hehe!" Miwa replied.
The two boys high fived, sharing a grin.
"This is Hina. Hina meet my friend, Miwa". Kai introduced.
"N-nice to m-meet you!" I stuttered. Miwa chuckled,
"Aw no need to be shy now!" he laughed, kneeling down beside me. I blushed bright red.
"Haha, now she's blushing!" He teased.
"C'mon Miwa, cut it out, you've embarrassed her enough" Kai lectured, kneeling down beside us.
Although he sounded serious, I could hear the laughter in his tone, and knew he was holding down a chuckle, for he couldn't help but at least grin.
Suddenly we were interrupted by a loud ring.
"OH SHOOT!" the two boys yelled in unison. "Come on, we're gunna be late!" Miwa shouted. Kai acknowledged this with a nod before turning to me.
"You think you can walk?" he asked.
"Oh no! Were you hurt Hina?" Miwa said worried.
"O-oh no! I'm fine, it's just a scrap on my elbow, I can still walk, thank you." I quickly replied.
"Phew, thank goodness!" Miwa said.
"Here!"
I looked up, as they both stood, reaching out their hand (Kai's right hand & Miwa's left hand) for me to grab on. I stared like an idiot while the two laughed at my stunned expression.
"Come on! We're going to be late!" Miwa said before grabbing my right hand while Kai grabbed my left one.
"O-okay!" I said stupidly.
They both shared another laugh.
"T-thank you", I whispered to them.
"Never mind that, you can thank us by becoming our friend and hanging out with us!" Miwa replied, before dragging me off, with Kai behind him. "Hurry or you'll trip!" Kai teased me.
I couldn't help but crack a small grin, the first one in a while. In the future I would always be reminded that for a moment, my face seemed to glow again, just like how it did when I still had Mom and Dad with me...
"You should smile more often, you look cuter that way" Kai told me modestly. "Mhm!" agreed a grinning Miwa.
Suddenly my smile vanished, replaced by another stunned look. I hadn't realized that I smiled. After a moment I smiled again, this one slightly bigger than the last, as I looked up towards the now sunny sky.
"Mother... Father... I think I may finally be able to start over again with these two...Thank you for watching over me...Thank you..."
I smiled as big as I could, as I felt the hot sun glare down on me.
I started running making the two have to run to catch up to me.
"Oi, oi! Slow down!" called out a laughing Miwa. Kai just seemed amused throughout all this, as he grinned at my & Miwa's antics.
We had past the school gates, and were about to enter the school, when we stopped. They both turned to look at me.
"You!"
"Ready?"
Said Miwa then Kai in order.
I trusted them, I don't know why, but I did. I felt my eyes tear up. It may have been the suns bright glare, or the feeling of having someone I loved. To this day I still don't really know.
I gripped their hands tighter as we marched in as what we became later famously known as the "Trio".
Little did I know that as I was taking my first step into the school, I was taking the first step into what I would later know as my new life.
