Misaki pulled his bicycle into the bike parking lot of M university. He looked it up at the familiar building. He smiled and breathed in deep and then sneezed. Rubbing his finger under his nose he sniffled.
"I wonder if I'll ever get use to winter again." Misaki complained and shifted his bag further on his shoulder walking up to the tan building…The building that started it all, the reason why he met Usagi all those years ago, where he met Sumi-sempai, and it's the building that got him into its sister school in Hawaii where he met Kaito.
After entering the building he went into the office that dealt with transfer students. He handed the secretary his papers so he could come back to the main school.
"It says here you changed your major." The young secretary said.
"Hai I changed my major from economics to ancient Japanese literature." The woman nodded and typed into the computer.
"Ok you're going to have to speak to the head of the Lit department, Miyagi-sensei. But you're going to have to walk around the building. They haven't finished repairing the Economic wing." Misaki cocked his eyebrow but didn't say anything about it.
"Hai arigatou." Misaki bowed and went on his way. As he got closer to the Lit department he could hear the sounds of construction. He turned the corner and saw the rest of the hall being cemented and painted. Wood beams were being placed everywhere and men were busy hauling heavy machinery. Misaki went to the door leading to the outside when he spotted the memorial. A bunch of flowers was set in front of the construction site. Candles and cards where spread among pictures of young men and women.
"Wow. I wonder what happened here." Misaki said to himself out loud. After the detour he finally reached Miyagi's office. He knocked on the door and stood back as it was opened from the other side. Misaki's eyes widen and then bowed slightly.
"Kamijō-sensei, konichiwa."
"Konichiwa. Can I help you?" Hiro said uninterested.
"Hai I'm looking for Miyagi-sensei."
"He's not in right now." The professor said annoyingly. "That idiot is never in. Can I do something for you?" A sweat drop fell from Misaki's face as he felt the waves of frustration fall from his old lit teacher.
"Well you probably don't remember me. I use to take your course and then I did a study abroad program to Hawaii."
"And…"
"And well…I switched my major to ancient lit and I need Miyagi-sensei to sign off on it."
"I can do that if you want." Hiro held his hand out to take the forms and the two men entered the office.
Misaki looked around the messy office.
"Ano…sensei can I ask you a question."
"What is it?" Hiro said looking through Misaki's papers.
"What happened to the Economic wing?" Hiro's eyes widen.
"There was an accident that's all." Hiro said sternly not looking up at the papers. Misaki looked at him in confusion but he didn't press it. Misaki heard the teacher sign the papers and walked up to the desk.
"Here everything seems to be in order. Just hand this back to the transfer office and you'll be set to start class for the next semester next week." Hiro handed the student back his papers.
"Arigatou sensei, ja ne." Misaki left and closed the door behind him. Hiro grabbed a book marked with post it's and blue streaks on the pages. Grabbing the blue highlighter he began reading through the book. Water dripped onto the pages smearing the words as Hiro tried sniffing back the tears. He slammed the book shut and threw it across the room hitting some books of the other desk.
"Accident my ass." He mumbled before resting his head upon his desk and cryed.
~Transfer office~
Misaki just walked out of the office and was looking over his schedule when he heard someone call his name.
"Misaki!" Misaki turned around. His smile widen when he saw who it was.
"Sumi-Sempai!" Misaki waved as the man got closer.
"I haven't seen you in ages. How are you?" Sumi asked.
"I'm fine. But what are you still doing here?"
"I'm getting paid to substitute for one of the economic teachers. She's having a baby."
"Sugoi. That must be so much fun."
"Hai. It's very refreshing from my usual job. Would you care to join me for lunch?" Misaki looked at his watch.
"I have time before I have to go to work. I would love to."
~University dining hall~
"So you really got yourself a new boyfriend." Sumi said leaning on his arm watching Misaki slurp up his ramen. Misaki nodded with his mouth full.
"No more Usami-sensei." Misaki swallowed and looked down smiling lightly.
"No…no more Usami-sensei." They sat there in silence for a few moments.
"So tell me what happened to the Economic wing. I asked one of the sensei's but he wouldn't tell me." Sumi frowned.
"There was an accident with a drunk driver. Supposedly he swerved into the wrong lane into a large delivery truck. Unfortunately the driver drove off the street to get out of the way and lost control of the truck. It went into the school and killed a lot of students and teachers."
"Oh. Gomen I didn't know." Misaki said tears threatening to fall. Sumi leaned over and wiped the tear from his face.
"You're so sweet Misaki, don't cry. It happened a year ago and there was nothing anyone could do about it."
"And the hall still isn't finished."
"Yes well the dean of the school didn't want to deal with it right away. His son Shinobu Takatsuki was killed in the accident. Almost made it to but…"Misaki looked down.
"What happened to the drivers?"
"Well the truck driver miraculously lived. Although I assume he's doing a whole lot of therapy. And the drunk driver was caught and sentence to life in prison. Serves him right, this was his 5th time drunk driving." Sumi's cell phone went off and picked it up.
"Moshi moshi…hai…hai…really ok I'll be there in a few." He put his phone down and stood up. Misaki stood up with him.
"Gomen but I have to go to a meeting. Promise to keep in touch now that your back."
"Hai of course." The two men hugged and went their separate ways. Misaki was about to walk out of the building when he stopped short and doubled back. He bought a bottle of root beer and walked back out. He traveled to the Economics wing and over to the memorial. He looked over all the photos with their names on them.
Kudo Hitomi
Chiba Hikaru
Kimura Kazuki
Ito Nori
And many other names. Over thirteen people. And then he spotted the dean sons picture. Shinobu Takatsuki Picture was surrounded by pictures and candles. He was laughing in his picture his blue eyes shining. Misaki might not have ever met him but he felt so bad that someone so young could be killed. All of the people who died didn't deserve it.
He just kept thinking that if he never left he could have been killed as well. He would still be an economic major and he could have been in that hall. He placed the root beer can in front of the memorial. (1) He closed his eyes, clapped his hands together twice, and bowed. He stood back up and turned looking down at his watch. When he looked back up he froze in his spot. Standing before him was the one man he never thought he would see again. The man held flowers in his hands his violate eyes wide and in shock.
"Misaki." The man gasped. Misaki swallowed hard and put up a determined face.
"Konichiwa Usami-san."
I know the root beers weird but when I went to Japan I visited a shrine and some of the graves had drinks like root beer on the stone and I guessed it was there for a memorial like flowers.
Dun, dun, dun. Usagi and Misaki finally meet again. Will there love bloom once again or have they moved on for real. Well you're going to have to read to find out. I know I'm evil.
