-IMPORTANT MY FANS (lol), READ!-
After a long break from typing. I couldn't think much about this fic, I was about to discontinue this. But then I'll feel like a failure. Soo. . . Here is the long awaited chapter. Kazune hasn't spoken at all in the last chapter. I gotta tell you, this will be an emotional chapter (depending if I change a few things I planned out). Will TRY to make long. A little rush, but there is an explanation at the bottom when you finish the chapter!
I will try to make this a good chapter. Hopefully, I'll finish in an hour and spell check and then check over it, TWICE, then. Le' post chapter button.
-END OF IMPORTANT NOTICE-
Mooo, quack, RAWR!
I seriously should of posted this a loooong time ago.
I am so lonely xD && bored. . .
NOTE:
Thoughts
Flashbacks Himeka walked away to watch the fight, if only there was popcorn. . . Karin's malachite eyes felt watery; not from sadness but from happiness. She noticed the feeling of something furry pawing her leg, it was Shi-chan. She bended down to pick up the small kitten being ever so grateful of what she has gained during the time she has been here. Friends was the best of it all. Karin looked back at the bags, it was very awkward that she was receiving a present from her master, strange as it may be, the feeling was great. Her eyes stared at him and she smiled, he's not a bad guy after all. "Die Michiru!" Or at least, not in the inside he's bad. I should really put on some real clothes on, my hair is getting this shirt too wet.
Himeka tapped the surprised Karin holding up two bags, "One is from me and the other is from Kazune-kun, they are for you. Merry Christmas, Karin-chan."
2 : 0 3 A M
The end of Christmas, the end of the day. What a wonderful time it was. The night was silent as it usually was, small remaining birds asleep in either: inside the of barks of trees or rather in the branches with little bits of leaves still there.There wasn't any strong breeze or anything so they should be just fine. As most people, Karin was sleeping peacefully in her bed with good dreams most people had. Mountains of food or ways to torture people are also consider good dreams to some. Strange, don't you think? As for her little kitten, it looked like a curled up brown fuzz ball. She really didn't have a little bed for it yet, so a pillow with a woven blanket should be good enough. Down stairs, however, was not as graceful but rather depressing.
The two, Kazune and Himeka, were having a very serious conversation, "Are you sure this is a good idea? Maybe the reaction will affect the performance. I am not trying to be selfish-"
"It's alright, I get what you mean. Himeka, you heard what those people said. It needs to be seen, this is why life can sometimes be very cruel. She needs to face it."
"Right. . .At least comfort Karin-chan, what she will see is very heartbreaking. Promise? And, will you make it in time for school?"
"Yeah, yeah. I promise. . .Plus, the time zones are very far apart so it should be mourning right now. I'll make it, just stop worrying."
"Comfort her! Remember!"
The tired blond nodded, his eyes tried and tried to force themselves closed. Only this secret that was kept for now which is actually two days that it hasn't been told. Something that concerned the cheerful girl; Karin. What she will soon see might deprive her of her spirits to who knows how long. With this discussion done, he stomped half angry to her room. He wasn't angry about the situation, just the lack of sleep was killing him. He jerked his hand up, flickering the light switch to the room. The small kitten responded quickly, eying Kazune with each and every move he made.
"Wake up, stupid girl."
"Nooo. . . I still didn't stab Micchi or Jin. . ." It seemed the girl had now a new bad habit, sleep talking and constant moving. Even though this is new of her, she still woke up, looking around the room. The malachite colored eyes looking around the room with her vision partly fuzzy. With a few seconds getting use to things, she finally stared at Kazune with confusion. Why was he awake so early? Why does he look so annoyed? Or mad? Basically, why was he in her room? She started hesitating to ask him because he didn't look like he was in the mood to answer any questions.
"Don't just look at me like an idiot. Get dressed, we're leaving."
"Where?"
"Get. Dressed." Kazune took out a bouquet of white lilies. The sky blue eyes of him looked distant to the flowers, because everyone should know the real meaning of the lilies. Kazune instantly turned away but held the flowers to Karin's reach. Bewildered the brownish-blond felt, so she just took the white flowers.
"So, is this a date?"
The playing cool act was over. Kazune face turned a dark shade of pink, he tilted his head with his eyes wide open, "What the hell? It-it's not. . .How do you even know about this?"
"Micchi."
"Expected much. It's not a d-date. This is the last time I going to tell you, dress up. Then meet me down stairs."
"Yes, master!"
Someone is being less stubborn, how rare. And a date? She really is an idiot.
In a matter of minutes, the two were already in a black vehicle with the engine slowly starting up. The ride was silent as night was too, Karin seemed to be wide awake and of course with her kitten rested on her head. Shi-chan would wake up instantly if anything were to happen to it's loving owner. But of course, nothing like that would ever happen. Karin seemed to be very curious were she was going this late at night and the lilies? What could they ever mean? So many questions, one after the other adding up. She took a small glance at Kazune who still looked annoyed. With the light of the moon it was noticeable he started getting bags under his eyes.
For somebody so strict, it's the first time she ever seen him like this. When she took a peek again she witnessed how much he wanted to close his eyes. He wanted sleep; he needed sleep. Karin took the body of the weary boy and laid him down. His head rested on her lap. There was no protest, oddly enough. Kazune face turned pink, really pink. It took a while for them to reach their destination, when Karin looked outside. There was a large body of water with ships of many sizes. A little store was also near that was made for fishing needs or even tools. A large man came out of the car to open the passenger seats and Karin notice it was one of the two same men who help take her away. She gulped, Kazune looked up and sighed in relief. Both of them stepped out of the black car and both took a moment to watch the little waves splash on the wet brown stuff.
The optimism Karin ran into the sand and kicked off her shoes along with her socks and doodle in the tiny minerals called sand. She read in a book that everyone had fun when they played in sand. They made castles, writing, doodles, or even sand angels. Kazune watched from a far distant and chuckles out childish she acted. It was, cute. Very cute.
I'll let her have her fun. Because this might be the last time she might ever smile.
A boat was closing unto the shore. It was a big as a miniature truck. The bridge was settled down unto the shore, Kazune walked up ahead and Karin sighed as her own little playtime was over. It was rather quite good that it was time to aboard the ship, the sand got colder each minute.
As soon as it was finally running, it was quick, very quick. Karin squinted her eyes and noticed a small area. An island. It looked so familiar.
In the mean time, Kazune only worried how everything will turn out. How everything will be.
Most importantly. . .
Will she change?
Will she cry?
Will she ever be the same?
And what the hell can I even do? I'm as good as useless.
(She left Shi-chan on the boat)
It was just as she thought. It was her home; her real home. Except. Things have changed. In the good way though. The thrash and the soil ground was clean and covered with cement. The poor conditioned houses were actually made of bricks. There was laughter, there was joy. There was no one outside crying near a grave. Small stores were scattered about including food, clothes, books, and even a flower shop.
To make matters better, then were a small clinic.
If she was home, which of these new houses were hers? What to do with she is finally able to see her aunt after so long? Of course there will be waterworks and hugs and yet the matter of her being sold needs to be discussed. That will come later.
Kazune smiled at the sky, the once, forsaken dull skies where now bright and blue. The time zones were diffently different. His blue eyes examined the small houses and noticed one that one was half done-while the other half was made of branches. His body moved by itself as she slowly entered it, Karin of course followed as well. She burst in with energy and ran through one of the new hallways that was added, "AUNTY!"
She slammed open the door and smiled through. Slowly, it became a surprised look, the bouquet she was holding fell to the floor. Candles were lit, flowers surrounded the bed and covers, people crying and holding unto the weak body. Karin's Aunt. Who is slowly having her moments taken away. Kazune walked inside, sitting himself near her.
Karin's aunt gave him a weak, wrinkly smile. She lifted her hand and patted Kazune gently, "Thank you for taking care of her."
"It was my pleasure."
"You knew my health was in danger, didn't you? Nothing could of helped it, especially with all this you made."
"Yes, that's why I didn't refuse your offer. I'm sorry, I cannot do anything, especially during this time."
"You did enough, child. Karin, come."
The tears slipped down through Karin's rosy cheeks, she ran to her aunt's side giving her a warm embrace. As if she will never let go. Her aunt only patted her on the back, hoping she could calm down.
"Karin-chan. . .My, how you've you look so grown up."
"Don't talk! Why didn't you ever tell me anything."
"It's alright. My life has been an enjoyable time. No one can live forever, and my time is already up."
Karin held unto her aunt's hand. It became weaker, paler, colder. Her eyes kept closing and she just stayed with that same smile on her face, "Promise me, you won't cry ever again. I want you to be happy and I'll always be watching you from the heavens above. Always. Kazune, take care of her."
Kazune looked down and nodded at the same time.
"I thank you. Karin, forgive me for whatever I done."
"NO! You never did anything wrong!"
She shook her hand violently, tears kept streaming down. Her aunt wanted to have a little strength just to get up and give her once chance to spend together. Weather it be sitting down near the ocean. Or even a long talk in the living room.
"Bye, Karin-chan. . ."
Her hand was slumped, her eyes closed. She's dead.
Like the corpse she is now.
Karin's only relative that was alive is dead. After all the hardships, after all the laughs, after all the hugs. Time has ended. Life is cruel. And death all over again was just terrible.
She has nobody. Nobody.
Someone that actually loved her is no more.
The world, the life; her life is like a a dark room. No escape. No light. No help.
Loneliness is what embraces her.
Maybe now and forever.
I forgot what I was gonna put :/
Why it went so quickly? I needed her to see her aunt for the last time so I can pass through with the chapters.
I wonder when I will finish this.
I think I have an idea.
Now that I have it, it might end pretty soon now!
Maybe!
Please no flames, I'm not in the mood.
Review and I might update even quicker!
Now to work on the other fic 8D
Dude, I was listening to a song by Serj Tankian.
I cried watching the video. I seriously did.
AND I NEVER CRY. NEVER.
And for the past 8 years too.
I stopped. But it was so sad.
But I'm good now. No need to worry :D
