Authors Note: This is suprising, to think i'd actually finish up this chapter. Er, might be... SUPER confusing, because.. well yeah. I just kinda make things as I go. My best ideas are usually the things that I think of first. Besides, I hate planning.
Umm, besides all my rambling, lets get on. I hope you enjoy this... update. Don't know when i'll have time to write, school is... bad as always.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything by Maki Murakami, but I do own my OC's.
Chapter 9: Repetitive
"Tatsuha!" Yumi stumbled out of the house, reaching out for the dissapearing car. She stared at the back, watching it fade away from the horizon. Anger could be felt raging through her body, her hated coursing through her veins.
"That bastard!" Messy crimson hair trailed down her face, eyes blurred by the salty tears that dared to stain her shirt. She wouldn't allow it, absolutely wouldn't.
"Who's the one saying he'll forget all about him?" Yumi stood in place, not even the slightest flinch from the voice that called from behind her.
"Mother... I just can't seem to get to him," The two red heads stood silently.
"I could give you his address," Satsuki wrapped a strand of her hair around her fingers. Boringly, she decided to pull it out, letting out a slight wince.
Yumi's eyes widened, "Yes, give it to me!" her hand reached for her mother's shoulders, squeezing them tightly. A puff of smoke casually has blow next to her face.
"Bring Tatsuha back. I'd hate for his father to dislike us," A piece of paper was pulled out of Satsuki's pocket, ready to hand over to Yumi. She stared at the address, which was written in cursive, looping towards the edge of the paper. Snatching the paper away, she took off to one of the cars parked out in the front. Taking out her keys, she pressed open the unlock button, and pulled open the door. Letting herself fall into the seat, she stuck the keys into the ignition, bringing the car to life. The door was slammed shut, and in a split-second, Yumi was driving out.
"Yumi..." Satsuki fell down to her knees. Her hands supporting her figure, and cigarette lit in her mouth. She opened her mouth and let the cigarette fall onto ground, it's ashes flicking everywhere.
"I'm so sorry..."
She sped through the already crowded streets, honking furiously at the casual drivers in her way. The traffic had already begun it's daily routine, the mass of taxis and overcrowded buses wheeling around their passengers, stopping every once in a while to pick up a fresh batch of people. Stepping on the gas pedal, she continued her race against time, to find Ryuichi's car before she lost Tatsuha forever from her sight.
Crimson eyes glowered at the red stop light, it's power shining in broad daylight.
She wouldn't allow it, not in hell would she lose Tatsuha to him.
The glory of wining sounded much better than losing in agony.
"I won't lose..." Yumi gripped the steering wheel, knuckles turning pale white.
"I won't lose." The red light blinked green, and once again the car sped off, only to find in her vision a familiar black car approaching at great speed.
Crayons littered the floor, half broken, with pieces of them wedged into the middle of the car seats. Papers torn in half, others crumpled. In the middle, a hand moved smoothly, a bright red crayon carving itself into the paper.
The words "I" and "Ryuichi" stuck out like a sore thumb. They were beaming right at him, straight at him, nowhere else.
Only at him.
"Tatsuha, I--" Before Ryuichi could finish, the car came to a screeching halt, their seat belts the only thing preventing them from colliding with the seat in front.
"What's happening?" Ryuichi lowered the window separating the driver and himself. Sticking his head through, he failed to notice the expression on Tatsuha's face. In front of the car stood the crimson haired lady, who had vowed to take him back. Her car blocked their car, stopping all of the traffic behind them. Her furious rage led her up to the car door, slamming her fists against the window where Tatsuha had sat.
"Tatsuha! Come out of there, please!" Tatsuha just stared out the window, a blank expression on his face.
"What does she want?" Hissed Ryuichi. The sight of the red-haired lady made his blood boil, but it only angered him more when she let Tatsuha's name slip out of her mouth so easily.
"Go away, Tatsuha doesn't want you!" His voice boomed inside the car, leaking outside. Yumi stopped her fists, taking a step backwards. Teeth clenched together, eyes burning a hole in Ryuichi's head.
"Who are you to speak for Tatsuha!?" Yumi pointed a finger accusingly towards the black car. "You think you can save yourself by keeping him by your side, but what does Tatsuha gain? You'll toss him away like every other fool who's fell for you!"
This time it was Ryuichi's time to grit his teeth. He reached out for Tatsuha's hand, grasping it in his hold. Tatsuha flinched at his touch, eye widening at the words from Yumi's mouth. They echoed inside his head, the words repeating over and over.
"Tell me, what will he gain? Your fame, your money, your love!?" Emphasizing the last bit, Yumi struggled against her hatred.
Ryuichi couldn't utter a single word. His hand only tightened on Tatsuha's, but in response, he was met with watering eyes, boring into his with pure confusion. He just didn't know what was right anymore.
Eyes locked with eyes, "Tatsuha... She's lying!"
"Ha! Lies!? You think I would lie about such a thing? Tatsuha, come out of the car." Yumi took more steps backwards, a hand reaching out for the person hesitating inside. A hysterical laugh was heard, as more steps were taken, feet crossing the yellow line between roads.
He watched as it happened in slow motion.
A pair of screeching tires, the sound of onlookers gasping, and the earsplitting sound of a crash between bones and metal colliding filled the now dead silent air surrounding them.
Tatsuha slowly twisted his head towards the window, viewing the horrid mess on the other side of the line that separated Yumi and himself...
Miles apart.
"Tatsuha..." Ryuichi felt a tug from his grip, watching Tatsuha opening the car door slowly.
"Get the ambulence!"
"Somebody!?"
"Is she dead?"
"Call for help!"
He couldn't feel any strength behind his grip anymore, and let Tatsuha's hand slip out of his. Eyes watched as the figure in front of him sat up, legs already out past the car's entrance.
"Tatsuha, don't go!" yelled Ryuichi. His voice strained, letting the last few sounds whisper away into the soft breeze pushing itself into the car. Tatsuha couldn't hear him, at least, he thought he couldn't. He could feel his voice nagging at the back of his head, but he couldn't help but push it away.
In a split second, everything came rushing back into his head. The feeling of his body being smacked by a car, the yelling stranger, and the music that had drawn him in.
His voice.
His touch.
His desire.
"Tatsuha, don't go!" He yelled for the last time. This time, he watched as Tatsuha turned around and looked straight at him, mouthing words that Ryuichi did not understand.
He watched as Tatsuha ran out after the bloody scene.
"Don't leave me Tatsuha!"
Three simple words like "I love you."
Simple words that had no meaning to him.
"Don't leave me alone..." He slumped in his seat, watching his figure retreating from his vision.
Something he had already heard over, and over.
Ryuichi gripped his shirt tightly, an overwhelming pain trying to push itself out of his chest, on the verge of bursting. It pained his so much, the way Tatsuha had looked at him before he took off. The tears that slid down his colorless cheeks.
Just how many tears had he shed over him. Over somebody who wasn't even worth the millions of glistening tears that streamed down.
He didn't want to understand Tatsuha's words at all.
It's always the same.
And to think he thought Tatsuha was special.
To think that Tatsuha made his heart flutter.
Was it all a lie?
Wow... That was.. kinda confusing. I noticed this whole chapter was in 3rd P.O.V, so everybody could basicly be in it. Focuses alot on Yumi in the first half.
OooOOooO, Ryuichi's background is comming I think. I hope it is atleast.
Anyways, thanks for all of your reviews! I appreciate everybody's comments!
