A Friend to Run to
It was raining hard, the wind outside is chilly. But still, Chihiro went outside to her balcony. She stared at the path leading to the fake building, readying herself to run and enter the tunnel leading to her beloved. But then she remembered something, 'We're your friends, you can run to us and weep in our shoulder. Share your pain with us.' she remembered Kaji telling her this. She then got changed and came down using the old ladder by her balcony. Despite the harsh rain and cold wind, she run to her friend's house, the first house she saw was Kaji's. She stopped and took a breath, but instead of knocking the door she circled around the house and climbed another ladder.
"Kaji... Kaji it's me, open your window it's cold out here." Chihiro knocked softly at window.
"Chihiro? Chihiro is that you? What are you doing here, it's raining cold for heaven's sake!" Kaji said worriedly as he slide the window open and helped Chihiro in. Chihiro was soaking, he sat her in the chair and gave her a towel.
"I'm sorry I'm intruding..." Chihiro said softly while she dried her hair with the towel Kaji handed her.
"Not at all, you're welcome here anytime. But...really why are you here this late at night? You never knock on my window at this hour, specially when it's raining." Kaji sat a cross Chihiro in his bed concern written all over his face.
"I...I wanted a friend to weep on. You told me once, we're your friends, you can run to us and weep in our shoulder, share your pain with us. You told me that, and so I wanted your embrace as I cry in your shoulder." Chihiro said a bit sadly, avoiding eye contact with Kaji. But Kaji walked up to her and took her in his arms, Chihiro was shock but soon gave in.
"I'm here for you Chihiro, I'll always be here for you..." Kaji caressed her cheek. They slowly sat down at the floor and Chihiro hugged him tight crying as she softly told Kaji what happened.
It was 12:45 when Chihiro knocked on Kaji's window and sobbed in his arms, now it's 2:18 and they are still sitting in the floor still cuddled in each others arms. Chihiro stopped crying about thirty minutes ago, but soft sobs can still be heard. Kaji listened to Chihiro till she slowly fell asleep, even though what he had to listen to was painfull to him.
"I just don't want to leave, I don't want to leave you and Ayumi. And leaving this place is like leaving him."
"It'll be all right, I promise you."
"Promise me?" Chihiro sobbed "He promised me, yet he still hasn't come! How long must I wait for him? I never got the chance to tell him I love him. I love him Kaji, I might not have realised it when I was ten, but now I do. I love him so much that I'm willing to leave everything behind just so I could be with him in his world, but...but..."
Kaji sighed, he looked at the beautiful sobbing girl in his arms and smiled. He knew, he has to do something to lessen her pain. Maybe he should go and meet this Haku dragon?
It was 6:43 in the morning, Chihiro woke up to find herself staring in her friend's ceiling. She stared for a few more minutes, she seem pale. She smelled food then her eyes. "That's rigth! How could I have forgotten I'm in Kaji's house?" she asked, then she gasp "And last night I... Oww how embarrassing!" she pouted. The door opened and she sat up thinking that it might be Kaji's sister. But she was wrong, it was non other that Kaji himself.
"Ohayou Chihiro." Kaji greeted with a faint smile.
"Ohayou Kaji." Chihiro greeted back.
"Let's go down." Kaji said. He recalled what happened and what Chihiro had told him last night, and remembering it just makes him angry with this Haku guy that Chihiro loves.
"Hey Kaji! Kaji hey, I said let's eat I can smell food!" Chihiro snapped Kaji out of his thoughts.
"Ah! Oh yeah I cooked food for you, let's go and eat now!" he said as he escorted Chihiro down the stairs.
"And what was that promise-me-it-won't-ruin-our-friendship thingy, it was really corny?" Chihiro asked teasingly.
"Forget bout' that. Corny huh? Accuse me, if you will, of melodramatic embroidery." Kaji answered slyly and Chihiro just giggled.
"Um, thank you Kaji. Thank you very much." Chihiro smiled at Kaji and he nodded smiling back.
