Ichigo
I kept watching Sakurai from the corner of my eye. She kept to herself for most of the walk. In fact, most of her face was covered in hair.
"Sakurai…" I said unsurely.
She merely nodded.
"If you don't mind me asking, why did you run away?"
She slowly looked up at me. A single tear slid down her face.
"Because…" she began slowly. Suddenly a bus stopped in front of us. None of us had realized we were in front of a bus stop. I decided it would be faster than walking, so we got on. I paid for the both of us.
Lucky for us, it was mostly empty. We took the back seat as Sakurai began her story, "I find it hard to accept reality. Whenever it becomes too tough, I run." She sighed and looked out the window, "I did the same thing with Kagurazaki. He meant so much to me…but reality was so much stronger."
A pregnant pause filled the nearly empty bus. I figured she was done, so I began to speak, "Saku-"
"One morning…I got a call." She interrupted, "It was from my father, my only living relative. He divorced my mother…. I have no siblings." She sighed again, only deeper, "You see…Kagurazaki had gotten me pregnant once."
I realized I was holding my breath. I released it when she said that.
I could feel her sadness well up inside her. She tried to shake it off as she continued, "My father was furious. I was 14 at the time, so I understand…but I didn't want to get rid of it. He did, though. And as Daddy's little girl, I obeyed."
She gulped back her tears, "Then...to top it all off, my father decided that I could never see Kagurazaki again. He called him a punk. I decided that if Kagurazaki hated me, he wont miss me when I'm gone. So I began hurting him, avoiding him, and calling him obscene things." She breathed heavily, "Now my father is dead…I wont say that with joy, though it does give me freedom. But I couldn't face Kagurazaki again. Not after hurting him like that." She sobbed, "I'm sure he doesn't want me back."
I felt her story pull at my heart. All these months, the poor girl wasn't sure what to do. Having always followed orders, how could she?
Sakurai looked back at me, "You have already guessed who Kagurazaki is, right?"
I was about to shake my head, but then it hit me, "Takuya? Kagurazaki Takuya?"
She nodded, "And I'm his ex…Sakurai Rin."
Takuya"What's this?" I picked up a letter that seemed to be slipped through my door. It had nothing on it's cover.
"What is it, Takuya?" Rukia asked, coming besides me.
I opened the letter, "It's an address."
"Hm…it says go immediately." Rukia read.
I studied the address carefully. Suddenly, I remembered. I know where this is.
"Let's go." I said, taking Rukia.
"Wait? Why do I have to go?"
"I have a feeling you'll find something here too."
Done. I'll post again tomorrow.
