Ch.01 Distant Dream, Forgotten Memory
Ever-Lasting Regret
Arc 1: The Games Begin
The gentle breeze played softly along the trees. Making the leaves swish and sway like a forgotten dance.
A small leaf flew along, wandering aimlessly until it lost the breeze and drifted down to softly tap the face of a sleeping girl.
"Huh?"
The girl cracked open an eye and started at the leaf which was still feebly trying to catch the wind
Blowing the leaf back to the wind, the girl sat up abruptly, her dark blue eyes scanning her surroundings.
It was spring time so the weather was bearable but hints of the season to come were showing. The lush and vibrant colors of the trees and grass were a huge difference of the pale blue of the sky above.
The girl frowned. 'pale blue? No…more like…'
"The sky is such a pretty blue huh? It looks like azure."
Her concentration broken, she turned to look at the disturbers ten year old eyes.
"Hey there bozu. What, pray tell, grants me the privilege of your presence?"
The boy scowled, obviously upset at the nickname.
"I told you to stop calling me that!"
The girl laughed, amusement clearly on her face.
"Ill stop calling you that when you stop acting like one, bozu!"
She added playfully. Laughing at the younger boy's expression. But after a while she stopped and gave him a questioning look.
"Now really, why did you come get me?"
The boy's expression changed from angry to boyish in 3 seconds flat.
"Oh that's right, Boss asked me to come get you, he says that we have a big meeting!"
He spread out his hands and waved them. As if to get across the importance of the meeting
"Alrighty then, oh wait bozu, come her a minute.
The boy shot her an angry look her way but came closer anyway.
"Ok then, stand still, and close your eyes."
The boy wondered what could be happening when he felt the older girl come closer. He suddenly winced as he felt something sharp at his right eye.
"oww, what the?!"
He started to thrash but was given a hard poke to the forehead.
"Stop squirming! I might mess up! Just hold still for a while longer."
The boy stayed still, trying hard not to scrunch up his face in pain.
After a while the girl leaned back and admired her work.
"Its simple, but it suits you. It's a tattoo by the way."
The girl said with a grin.
"Ta-to?"
The boy responded
"Uh huh, it's a type of insignia on the body made with needles and ink, like the one on the back of my neck.
In response, the girl rubbed the back of her neck. The young boy nodded absentmindly. He had often spent hours tracing the strange curving lines on the girl's neck. It resembled an upside down crescent moon with vines intertwining it. Two roses lay at the end of the vines, laid heavily with thorns.
Curious, the boy made his way to the stream a few feet away. He looked down at his reflection in the water. Right under his right eye were two identical blue triangles.
As if answering his unasked question the girl piped up.
"It's for indivisualality, now come on, we are going to be late."
The girl said as she reached out with her hand. The boy quickly took it, a slight blush coming to his cheeks as a thought entered his mind
"H..Hey!"
The girl turned to look at him.
"It's a promise ok! I promise to protect you no matter what!"
The girl stared at him with wide eyes before softening.
"You may be ten but you sure make big promises"
"Well, you're only twelve!"
The boy's face was still bright red but there was a strong determination in his eyes.
The girl smiled and leaned down until they were both eye level.
"Alright, ill keep you to your promise, ok?"
The girl held out her pinky and the boy interlocked his pinky with hers. But the boy wasn't kidding. He will protect her. If only he had been stronger, maybe he could have…
The girl opened her eyes, panting hard and sweating. She was still haunted by that nightmare.
LK- ok, the two people here are pretty obvious. I hoped you liked it! It was kind of short though. Sorry about that! Ok, until then, ill do my best nya!
