Chapter 4

(Himmeragi's Pov)

Binding the curtains to the little rope she lets the bright, warm sunlight touch her face; her golden-brown orbs sparkling in the dawns' light. A smile crossing her lips.

Today's the day I won't feel pain anymore.

Rushing to grab her school bag and case that held her Schneewalzer, the young Shaman goes to fix her brown shoes before she steps out the door; giving one last glance at the stacked boxes piled in her bare living room, which has all of her items.

"Nagisa! Senpai!" The young girl exclaims as she races down the stairs towards the two.

"Ah Himmeragi!" Her Senpai smiles, his soft blue eyes meeting hers.

I'll still miss you Akatsuki, Kojou.

Mentally slapping herself she cursed softly at her inner voice as her cheeks began to warm up. Her head lowering as a blush crosses her cheek.

Suddenly feeling the soft hand upon her head her head slowly rises, Kojou smiling down at her as he playfully ruffles her raven black hair.

You're so clueless Senpai. I just hope you can be on your own starting today.

Reaching the school within ten minutes Himmeragi began counting down the hours before her departure; her interest rising to have some quality time with her Senpai before she left.

I want to hang out with him one last time, just by ourselves.

"Kojou?" Himmeragi asks as the two neared her classroom.

"Yeah?" He replies before stopping to turn his attention on his observer.

"There's a fair tonight near the beach tonight. Would you come with me?" She asks shyly, silently hoping for a yes.

"Sure, that sounds great! Why don't I just tell the others? Asagi would like to come too." Her Senpai smiles widely, reaching to get his phone.

Cringing once more at his best friend's name her hand snatches to grab his phone.

"Senpai I just mean the two of us."

"Wait. Why don't you want to call the others?"

"Because… You're always so busy with your friends. I never get to really hang out with you. And I mean just you Senpai."

"OH." Kojou laughs, his cheeks reddening with embarrassment. "Sure Himmeragi, that sounds great."

"WAIT!" A familiar voice shrieks.

No. Not her please.

Turning her body away as the young computer hacker runs towards them, the young fourteen year olds' chest began to restrict with pain as the memory soon filled her mind.

Golden-brown watched the scene before her, her hand slipping off the door knob. Wishing the window was covered instead of open. Tears forming in her eyes as her naïve heart slowly broke into pieces.

Why? Why were they kissing?

Her Senpai and his best friend, Asagi. Their lips locked in a tight embrace. Brilliant red orbs catching her attention with just one saying in her clear eyes.

Kojou's mine.

Understanding that she knew didn't have a chance with her Senpai; the young girl runs out crying, her face buried in her hands as the tears came out in forms. Endless tears streaking her face.

Her breaths becoming harden as it became harder to breath. Her heart tight, like the way a handcuff is on a wrist. Squeezing the skin tight so it burned like a rising fire. Her lungs lacking air as she tried to gulp down some oxygen.

Falling to her knees in empty, dull white hallway the young Shaman continues crying, her body shaking horribly as she wished she had never gotten so close to Kojou.

She knew it wouldn't turn out happy. That someone or herself would be hurt in the process. She had just wished it was never her. Only a few months in and she was the one enduring the endless pain.

She wished for it to end. For it to all disappear. The memories. Her relationship with her Senpai. She should have just kept it as a job relationship. That's all but she let herself get reeled in, her naïve self getting the best of her. Yet she just couldn't help, she had fallen hard.

Fallen hard for her Senpai…

Suddenly feeling her body being shaken Himmeragi blinks her eyes, confusion filling her mind as she slowly came back to the present.

"Himmeragi did you hear me?" Kojou asks, his eyes watching the fourteen year old.

"What?" She replies shyly.

"I SAID I'M GOING WITH YOU TWO." Asagi spats bitterly, her brilliant red orbs glaring towards the Shaman.

Wincing at the hardness in her voice Himmeragi grips the strap of her instrument case, her knuckles soon turning to a chalk white.

"Wait. I just remembered. I can't go anymore. I actually have chores to do. Asagi why don't you two just go." The Sword Shaman grits her teeth, spitting out her name in disgust as golden-brown met bright red.

"My pleasure." Asagi smiles falsely, her eyes narrowing.

He's mine little girl.

Himmeragi read from her hard eyes; turning around the young girl begins to walk away but stops to look one last time at her Senpai. His sad aquamarine eyes meeting hers.

Please just come. It'll be fun.

Kojou's eyes seemed to plead yet he didn't say anything. Asagi's possessive grasp on his forearm, speaking to him yet he didn't respond to her. He knew something went on between his observer and best friend yet he just didn't know what exactly.

I'm sorry Akatsuki, Kojou. I have to go. Good-bye.

Her eyes answered with incoming tears as she turns away from the two; tears beginning to streak her face as she took a step farther, away from her Senpai forever.

Searching through her boxes her fingers brush against a smooth picture, her fingers cupping the picture as she slowly retrieves it.

A picture of her and her Senpai. Sitting at the swings of the park with Nagisa-chan at the back. Smiles on all of their faces including hers. Her golden-brown eyes meeting soft aquamarine eyes.

Why? Why did this happen?

Checking the time that read eleven P.M. she knew her ride would be coming soon, her hands trembling as she lets the photo drop. Suddenly feeling her phone begin to vibrate the young Shaman goes to retrieve it, a call telling her it's time to go.

"Do you need help retrieving your things?" The voice asks.

"Hai." She replies, walking over to the door as knocks appeared.

Watching the two employees from the Lion King Organization, the few boxes were soon placed in the trunk of their car. Their voices telling her it was time to go. Hearing a soft sigh leave her mouth her eyes soon flicker to the fallen picture. The smooth edges soon crumpled under the boots of the employees.

"I should just leave it." She whispers, her eyes beginning to water again. "But for him."

Reaching for the picture on the floor she walks out, taking one last glance at her temporary home yet she had wished it was permanent. She wanted to stay with her Senpai forever but the pain was too much. If she didn't leave now the young Shaman would be completely broken.

Good-bye Senpai.

Placing the picture under the mat of their door with only the small piece of corner visible she walks down the stairs before going inside of the car. The car roaring in the silent neighborhood as it drove away into the night. Her hand placed against the window as she closes her eyes, a fallen tear escaping.

Good-bye forever. Take care.

So guys! How was this chapter? I'm sorry for making Asagi act like that but I thought it went great with the chapter! I hope you all enjoy!
