Childish Tears

YAY! Okay I had a science test and I suck at science so my brain is hurt, and I sent this out l8. Gomen.
I pulled my head off the pillow, amazed that I went to bed in the first place. Our days off are giving me time to think about how to act towards Sanada. More importantly, tell me personally. Not just look at me and know that I know what he's thinking.
The door bell rang and I ran downstairs. I opened the door to see Sanada, in casual clothing, and here I stood, with a bed head and pajamas. I rubbed my eyes, "Hi, Sanada-san, what's up?" I questioned. I looked at him and noticed something. He looked worried, maybe even upset about something. I looked out and around the area, then stepped out, closing the door and taking him to the back yard. I took him to the swing set and sat down. "What's the matter?" He just stared at me, with no particular answer, just that he was upset. I up, and pulled him the swing, seating him, and standing in front of him. "Talk to me. "
He looked up at me and looked back down. "Yukimura-bonchou was sent to the hospital." He kept his stone face. " He has a neurological disease, and had to go."
I almost actually cried. Seiichi-kun was my childhood friend. I knew how frail he was, and he was like an angel, no matter how stern his training was. He helped me a lot with tennis when I fell for Sanada and was inspired.
"What's the matter, did you loose your mommy," a soft voice spoke and I looked up from my wet knees. I eyes were swelled up and I looked down.
"S-something like t-that," I looked down took a small locket hidden in the lace of my baby blue dress.
"Do you know where she is?" He questoned, looking at me soft, with angelic eyes. He reminded me of a child of god. The kind my mother used to tell me about after church. He was kind and gentle.
"In the ground, Resting in peace." I looked down. That's what my father told me. I heard my father coming, lifting me off the ground.
"Who's this hunny? Did you make a new friend?" He smiled politely at me.
"Y-yes, I'm Naumi Haruki, by the way," I told the blue haired angel.
"I'm Seiichi Yukimura. I'll be here all day tomorrow, too!" He smilled and I waved good-bye as my father gently carried me off.
My eyes widened and tears dropped. Sanada looked up, but I had already covered them, know Sanada needed me. Crying won't help at all. I hugged Sanada, pulling him close, letting him know I was there him. I felt his arms go around me, pulling me closer. I let go slowly, taking his hand.
"Wait here," I told him then, let go and ran intot he house to get dressed. I came out and took his hand once more, and began walking, then turned to look at him. "We have to run," I told him. We both picked up our feet and ran. I kept his hand with mine, making sure I knew he was there with me.
We finally reached a small, abandoned park, the swings were rusted and the rest was fine. I went uner the large, plastic slide, falling to my knees. I let go of his hand and started shoving the moltch around, digging for something. I reached in the hole and pulled out a box. I looked up at Sanada and smiled.
"This is me and Seiichi-kun's time capsule. Let's take it to him and open it. I held the dirty box in one hand and Sanada's hand in another as we ran to hospital and came into his small room. The rest of the team surrounded him and I came closer and sat beside him.
He smiled fraily at me and I put the box on his lap, wiping the box off first. He looked at me, "This is our--"
"Time capsule. You said we'd open it one day if something gets us down." I smiled at him and reached for the lid. We opened it together and both of us smiled. I reached in and took out a small bear my father had given to me when my mom was sick and he always had to leave me to visit her in the hospital. Seiichi-kun pulled out a tennis magazine, his first, given to him by his father. Next, I pulled out a locket, my mother's, I smiled. Then, Seiichi pulled out a photo of us when we were on the slide.
"This is the first time you went down the big slide, and got so scared you wanted me to come. Look at how cute she was, guy." Seiichi-kun passed it around and when Sanada saw it, he smiled a bit. I looked in and pulled a cd of our favorite songs. Seiichi insisted we did it, to see hwo childish our tastes were when we were children. Seiichi pulled out the last item and looked at me. It was an old peice of paper, folded up and labeled 'Moments'. He opened it and his eyes widened and then smiled, handing it to me, "Sing it aloud to us."
I looked down and my eyes glazed over. I began to sing it,
" Old and new ,
At any given time,
being here with you,
is worth more than this chime." Tears began to fall but I kept reading,
"No matter what goes wrong,
What ever get's you down,
Listen to this song,
And you will not drown.
With life passing by,
And hearts giving in,
Please do not cry,
And think of how the great moments have been." I stopped singing and wiped of my face.
We all smiled, even though my face was still. We all sat with Seiichi-kun, and we all cried a little, or a lot.
