Chapter 4
I woke and found the cat right next to me. I sit up and stretched. I then remembered my dream and I went silent for quite a while. I stand up and quickly put my clothes on. I then heard a knock.
"I'm coming in…" Chizuru-chan then enters the room. She brought a warm tea with her. I smiled at her and went to her.
"Ne, Chizuru-chan… Thank you for being with me when I lost my mind yesterday…" I then smiled at her, half sad and half relieved.
"Eh? It…It's no problem…" she then offers me the tea and I shook my head.
"I… want to go somewhere… You can have the tea instead, Chizuru-chan…" I then hug her and went straight off. She looks at me for awhile and stood up.
I was walking alone in the town. It was silent and deserted; maybe because it's about 7A.M in the morning. I sighed silently as I walk without knowing where to go. I then stopped at right in front of the bridge where they say that my sister….
I went under the bridge and found some old traces of blood on the cement floor. I touch the blood; it was dried and was almost permanent on the cement. I then cried silently and quickly wipe my tears away. I then started to go back to the upper of the bridge. I glanced back at the cement and went off quickly.
There's a lot things have happened lately… Wars and stuffs such, but I never got to do any of them. Then, what's the point of me having to stay in Shinsengumi then? I sighed slowly and walk toward the forest.
After I received a lot of fresh air and filled with confident with my new learned technique, I went straight back to the headquarters. The town was now noisy as ever. I walk silently as I pass a lot of people. I look around and smiled at the people of the town. As soon as I arrive, I decided to visit Souji for awhile. I knock on his door and wait to hear 'come in', but instead, I hear a cough.
"I'm coming in…" I then slide the door open and Souji was sitting. I looked at him for awhile. He then coughed again. I went to him and slowly stroke his back.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" he nodded at me and then pushes me away slowly. I stared at him again.
"What do you want?" he asked me with a not-so-grateful tone. I sigh slowly.
"Can't your childhood friend at least visit you once in a while?"
"Well, I don't recall of having you as my childhood friend…" his words pained me, but I kept it only to my insides.
"Well, you are anyways… You just have a short memory…" I said to him as I pointed my finger to his head. He ignored me. "Souji, please, why are you acting so cold toward me?" He didn't give an answer and stood silent. I stared at him with painful eyes.
"I know that you act nicely towards other people. But I'm also a human being… I have feelings too…" At that instance, I felt a streak of anger lit up. It wasn't from me, but it was from Souji. He sighed and lies down on the futon.
"Are you done talking? I need to rest now…" he then put his blanket over him turns away from me. I stared at him with painful eyes. I stand up and slide the door open, but before I close it, I took one last glance at him and I slide it shut.
I went to my room and slide the door close. I then look at the cat that is sleeping soundly. I went to it and stroke its cute little ears. I somehow got comfortable when I touch it. I went and get an ink and paper. I then wrote down a note and paste a picture at the bottom of it. I hid it under the table. After that, I lay down next to the cat and I fell asleep.
I woke up exactly at midnight by Souji's coughing. I stood up silently and went over to my belongings. I quickly pack my stuffs and everything. I stroke the cat and went outside of my room. I slowly slide the door open to Souji's room and slides it back shut.
I then sit down next to him slowly and look at him for awhile. He was sweating a lot. It almost seemed like he is having a nightmare. I place my hand slowly on his chest and I gave him a glance.
"Souji… I'm sorry, but this is the only way…"
After I'm finished, I took a deep breath as I panted heavily. I started to cough as I began to lose my energy. I look at Souji who seemed to be sleeping soundly now. I leaned closer to him. I look at his face, wanting to remember it forever. I lean in closer and closer until my lip brushes his. I peck his lips slowly. While I was doing so, my tears fell on his cheeks. I wipe it away and whispered in his ears.
"Goodbye, Souji… I love you…" I then stand up and leave the room.
Okay! That was the fourth one! Hope you enjoyed! And please, please, please, review? *puppy dog eyes* There's a fifth one coming up soon!
