Time After Time
Chapter 2
Angel's Performance
"Forbidden love is forever following you."
"Yuzuru, where the hell have you been!" He didn't answer. Again, the woman asked, "Yuzuru, where were you?"
"No where Obaasan. I've got homework," he said as he was coming through the door. He didn't even hear her yelling and cursing at him as he walked up the stairs and straight to his room. He quickly threw his school bag on the floor and plopped face down on his bed.
It was the same thing everyday. Come home, fight with her, go upstairs, and do nothing for the rest of the day. He, honestly, was getting tired of the repetitiveness of it all. So instead of him staying in his room today, he decided to sneak out his window and go to the creek nearby.
He gathered a small bag from his closet, pulled out the shoes from under his bed, and began his descent out his window. There was a tree right next to his window that had strong enough limbs for him to grab and hold onto and it was short enough spacing between the branches that he could let go and fall right to the one below him. He mastered this after many trial and errors.
Finally, hitting the ground with a thud and a splash, he snuck up to his front gate to see if his Obaasan was sitting smoking her cigarettes. She wasn't. Yuzuru only made it about five creeping steps when he heard a small voice call his name.
"Yuzuru Otonashi?" He froze in place expecting to hear his name called again and a smack across the face with a purse. Instead, he heard it again. "Are you Yuzuru Otonashi?" No smack. No yelling. He looked behind him to see a girl standing there that most definitely wasn't his Obaasan. Her question rang through his head again and it took him a few moments to find his voice.
"Ye. Yes, I'm Yuzuru Otonashi," he said with some hesitation. "Can I help you?"
Why do I get the feeling that she looks familiar. Even her voice sounds familiar and I've never met her before. he thought.
The girl came over holding out a wallet. "I found this when you ran into me earlier today when it was raining."
Otonashi looked at the wallet and looked at the hand that was holding it; a small, delicate looking hand. He looked up at her face and saw angel white hair and golden colored eyes looking at him. She was wearing a high school outfit, but she looked a little young to be in high school. Her hair, he couldn't get over the color of it, was really long. It went down past her shoulders and about down to mid-back. His attention went back to her hands and realized she still was holding his wallet.
"Oh, thanks! I hadn't realized I'd dropped it. Thank you," he said to her after gaining back reality.
"Your welcome," she said politely and looked down at his bag. "Are you going somewhere?"
He too noticed her looking at his bag and laughed a little. "Actually I was just going to go down to the river." He looked at her and quickly let the next words come out without thinking. "Do you wanna come with me? I don't bite."
She laughed at his little comment and he swore up and down everything went quiet. "I'd love to come with you, but I have to be home soon. Maybe I could go with you next time?"
Immediately he responded with a quick nod and a, "Yes!"
She giggled and got out a piece of paper and wrote down something on it and gave it to him. "Feel free to call or text me next time you're free ok?" she asked with a smile on her face.
"Will do," Yuzuru answered. The girl smiled, waved, and turned around to walk the other way. When Yuzuru realized he forgot to ask her her name it was already to late. She was out of sight. So he looked down at the paper and found a little note written on it.
I realized you never asked my name. You're a funny guy you know?
Kanade Tachibana
495-546-****
Hm. So the mystery girl's name was Kanade? A perfect name for the angel she looked like.
Yuzuru was actually looking forward to going the river this time. Who knows. Maybe his luck is beginning to change. He sure hoped so.
