The atmosphere was feeling awkward. We have walked for the past 20 minutes and not a word has been said. Kyou was still walking in front of me and I was still watching his back as we passed on. I was playing with my fingers, not even slightly feeling at ease.

Why isn't he talking? He can at least say where we are going. I wish I could hear his voice.

"I'm sorry..."

Kyou stopped. My reaction was as slow as always so I bumped into him. Kyou turned around to face me as I stepped back and bowed.

"I'm sorry."

A few moments passed. He didn't say a word, but just rushed through my hair. I looked up. Our eyes met. I could feel my cheeks blushing. He just smiled at me which made my cheeks burn even more. I focused my eyes on the ground.

"We're almost there.", he said.

"Kyou, just where are we going any way? We have been walking for quite a bit now."

"You'll see.."

He took my wrist again and started running off, pulling me. I almost fell as we ran faster and faster.

"Kyou, slow down. I can't keep up.."

He pulled again, this time with more strength. I could barely keep my balance.

"Kyou..."

My breath was taken away and I could hardly say anything. Just before I was about to collapse, we stopped brusque.

"We're here!"

Kyou seemed really excited.

Great for you...

I felt dizzy and my body was wobbly. I had to catch my breath again before I was able to do any thing. Sweat was dripping off my forehead in waterfalls.

Note to self: never ever follow Kyou again.

I crouched while taking a good look on Kyou. He was almost jumping of joy, not noticing I was slowly dying behind his back. I sighed. Kyou finally calmed himself and turned around. His face went pale and his eyes widened extremely. On top of that his mouth fell open. His mind was slowly panicking and I could see he was trying to figure out this situation, trying to figure out what he would do next.

"Oh god... Chihiro... Don't die on me here!"

He jumped towards me and lifted my head, sitting next to me. While he was panicking I collapsed and fell down on the ground.

"Chihiro! Say something to me..."

I opened my eyes again and let out an enormous sigh.

"This is your fault, stupid! Don't make a girl run like that when she can barely keep her balance! If you had listened to me while we were running, then this wouldn't have happened! You should feel ashamed."

I coughed a few times until I was able to breathe normally again. Kyou couldn't say a word. He just sat there, staring at me, his mouth still wide open. I sighed again, pulling myself up.

That speechlessness was becoming a habit of his...

"I'm fine now, stop worrying like that. Just make sure it doesn't happen again."

I faced my back towards him.

He seemed really excited about something. What was it?

I lifted my eyes and found myself standing on a small hill. Beneath us was nothing but a green landscape, stretching out as far as the eye could look. My heart skipped a beat. I remembered the place, I was so sure I had seen it before. Green grass everywhere. My mouth fell open.

"It's pretty isn't it? I found this place a few days ago. All these years that I have lived in this forgotten town and never have I seen this sight before. It's almost like a dream, don't you think?"

I couldn't say a word for Kyou didn't understand. Neither could I. This place wasn't supposed to be here though why was it here now?
