Kisa's heart stopped at the sudden sound. The knocking broke through the walls of silence in her room. She felt safe in the silence. That was where she knew it was just her, no one else, and so nothing could hurt her. Her room provided a dwelling place for that silence, and it was the only thing calming her down at the moment. Here she was safe...here she was alone...
But the hard sound of bone on wood invaded her safety, sending her mind fleeing into a dark corner of consciousness. Once again, she was plunged into a panic. Her breathe came in shallow swallows, when she managed to breath at all. Kisa remained laying there, frozen to her bed, unable to move while she waited. The seconds after that awful knock stretched out for her like train tracks, going on forever and ever behind and you as well as in front. A million lifetimes, each one full of dread and fear, filled her head. It was too much. She could feel her own pulse in every part of her body. Her heart sounded like a drum in her ears, irregular and startling. As it tried to escape from the cage of her chest, she lay still, waiting and fearing what would happen next.
Silence...
'Why isn't she answering...?'
Hatsuharu stood still, praying for Kisa to answer the door.
'She should at least say something. Where is she?'
A deep worry slowly seeped into theback of his mind. So many things could be the reason she wasn't responding. The black and white haired boy tapped his foot quietly, trying to release his nervousness. So many things could have happened...
He inhaled shakily, his dread mounting quickly.
'Why isn't she answering??'
The silence carried on, each second dripping more worry into his heart. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore, and spoke.
"Kisa? Are you there?"
'His voice...it hasn't changed...'
Kisa closed her eyes and took a deep breath. His words though the door somehow had a calming effect on her. By no means was she free of her fear, but at least she found herself able to get up. Sitting still for a moment on the edge of her bed, she gradually started thinking clearly.
'I can't just let him stand out there like that.'
She started to stand up, but stopped again quickly.
'But what am I going to say? What if he asks me why I was crying? Or what I was doing out in the rain, or why I ran away from him?!'
Kisa could feel herself slipping and forced a deep breath.
Slowly, she stood up. She walked to the door, trying to control her breathing. When she reached the door she paused, her small hand inches from the handle.
'What will he say...? I can't tell him...what I was about to do...ever. I'll make something up, he just can't know. Not him...'
She was trembling as she stood there, staring at the silver colored door handle.
'If I open the door...-'
"Kisa?"
Hatsuharu's voice penetrated through the wooden wall between them, reminding her how close he was. Kisa stopped trembling as she envisioned his face. Sighing, Kisa realized that she actually wanted to see him, The world slowed down, and her heartbeat echoed in time with her breathing.
'Whatever happens...will happen...here goes...'
She turned the door handle slowly, opening the door to what was waiting for her on the other side.
