From Death to Breath Chapter : 4

The next morning it was silently snowing when Hatori awoke.

He looked over at his clock. It flashed 6:00 am in neon blue lights. He sighed but got up anyway.

He walked outside and smoked a few ciggarettes before taking a stroll down to where he first saw Yume.

It was at the Sohma Estate front gate.

He remembered it so vividly, he hoped Yume did as well.

"When the snow melts what does it become" Hatori asked himself aloud.

"Silly it becomes water, a kid could've told ya that" a voice spoke.

Hatori spun around and saw it was Momiji.

Hatori cleared his throat. " Momiji...it's you.."

Momiji sighed and placed a hand on his forehead. " Sorry I tried to sound like her..Hari..I don't like to see you sad..please cheer up."

Hatori walked past the small blonde haired boy.

He headed towards the pond where he saw Yume for the first time in 2 years.

The half-wilted water lily still sat ontop of the water..though it was a bit more wilted and sunk in the water a bit.

He picked it up out the water and held it into his palm.

" Please don't take it " a voice repsonded in a whail.

Hatori sat the white flower back into the pond. It sunk more into the depths. He bowed.

" Sorry miss, please excuse me." he turned and walked toward his house.

Once he approached his porch he saw a body, curled up.

He stood above the body of a young woman, almost seemed like he hovered.

The body turned and revealed the face. It was Yume.

" Y-Yu..er..Hitori..what're you doing here.?" he asked sternly.

She opened her eyes and smiled pleasantly.

"It's Yume and to see you silly."

" But I thought..and..then..um..Well glad to see you." he mumbled then walked past her body to get inside.

Yume sat up and blinked her eyes then scampered into Hatori's small house.

She sat on the edge of his futon.He stood over her and dangled her hair between his fingers.

Hatori couldn't get the thought of her being alive away from his mind.

The thought seemed to consume him whole.

" Yume..I need to talk to you." he informed her.

" And I need to talk to you as well." Yume shut her eyes and nodded.

He sat down, for he knew this conversation would be a long one.
