Hello, my name is Tatsuna Himuro, age 18, I am a fresh graduate and I would like to be a part of your squad—
Suddenly the entire paper was crumpled and thrown to a random direction. Then a raven haired girl kept banging her head on her desk. Finally, after minutes of hitting her head on the desk, she stood up and groaned in frustration.
"Why is it so hard to apply for just one squad!? Oh right, this is the Elite Division! Of course it won't be easy!" She exclaimed to her reflection. She sighed and sat on her bed. "Really, what's gotten into me? I was never this desperate to get into the Elite Division before…"
Morning, Muro-chin!
'Oh right, it's because of him…' Tatsuna suddenly felt her face heat up at the thought of the purple-haired boy she met a few years ago. 'Ever since then I've been desperate to get in, but who am I kidding? I'm only a second string graduate, it won't be as easy as… applying when you're a first string graduate,'
"That's it! I'm going to be productive today!" She said standing up and stomping towards her closet.
'…I hope so,'
I wake up in the morning
And immediately I start to think of you
I decided to cut my bangs
Just to hear you say, "What happened?"
It was nine in the morning.
Nine in the morning…
Wait, I woke up at seven, so that means I've been sitting here for two hours already with no idea how to be productive. I look at the mirror on the wall across me and I noticed my bangs are already kind of long. Grinning, I grab my scissors and cut off a portion of my bangs so it only reached until my jaw line.
"There! I've become productive!"
… But I feel like I haven't done anything at all…
Sighing again, I go down to see my kangaroo of a brother calmly eating. I resisted the urge to throw a vase at him for not calling me down to eat. Instead, I just flashed him a fake smile. "So, brother of mine, why did you not call me down to have a meal with you?" I asked in an overly dramatic voice.
"Because you were too busy thinking of how to apply for Elite Squad 3, and then deciding to be productive, but have no idea how to. So I went ahead and went back to sleep. I woke up some ten minutes ago to eat,"
Huh… so he just woke up a while ago…
Wait, then that means work already started..!?
Minutes later…
I rushed all the way to the Elite Division HQ and ran into someone I knew quite well. A guy my age with a mop of purple hair—
"Oh, hi Muro-chin," He greeted a small smile. "Um… What happened to your hair?"
'Is he blind or is he just a blockhead? It's really obvious, you know.' I mentally sighed. "I see that you cut your bangs, it looks good, by the way."
I felt myself blushing madly and laughed nervously. "U-Um… thanks…" He glances at my side and sees the paper I was holding. "You're applying for squad three aren't you? It's just down the road, second building on the right,"
"Thanks!" Then I ran to the direction he pointed at.
A pink skirt, and a flower barette
And it's time to go
I'm looking super cute today!
'Seriously, I've got to start looking at myself in the mirror more often before going out of the house!' I groaned when I saw my reflection on the tainted glass door of squad 3's building. I was wearing a pink skirt of all things. Who applies for a highly known squad wearing a pink skirt and not the standard uniform? Oh my god, there's even flowers on my head! Oh well, I'm looking cute today, might as well take advantage of it!
Melt - I'm about to melt
I can't tell you that I like you... but...
Melt - I can't let our eyes meet
I'm not into love and all that
But I do... like you
As I nervously walked down the busy corridors of squad three, a blur of purple swooshed outside the window. I hurriedly looked out the window, side to side, up and down, but I didn't see anybody or anything. 'Weird,' But when I think about purple, the first thing that pops up into my mind is…
Muro-chin, they serve delicious ramen in the cafeteria!
"It's hard to admit but… I like this guy, I like like him, as in—ugh, and it's hard to explain, ugh… what is wrong with me…" then I continued walking. I could have sworn I heard a gasp somewhere… am I going crazy or something?
The weather report lied
It's pouring down
My umbrella still folded in my bag won't do
So I gave a sigh
Well. It has been two days after my attempt to get into an elite squad which resulted in my… unfortunate rejection. And their reason of rejecting me was stupid – it was because I wasn't a first string graduate, they were after the first string graduates so for the mean time they were rejecting everyone that wasn't first string. What a stupid reason. After throwing a vase at my brother's face for teasing me, I stomped outside then suddenly—
WHOOOOSH!
"Rain. It just had to rain." I groaned. But my umbrella wouldn't be able to take this degree of rain, wait this wasn't just rain, this was a storm! The rain is so strong it could flood the kingdom after half an hour of continuous pour! I began to feel cold and hugged myself.
"I guess I'll have to let you in"
Beside me you say, laughing
That was the sound that made me fall in love
A little while later I didn't feel any raindrops on me. Weird, I should be getting hit by storm right now. I looked up to see Atsushi standing right there, umbrella in hand, and shielded both of us from the rain. That umbrella should've already given up from the strength of this rain, but for reason it didn't.
"Kuro-chin fortified this one a months back because he got mad at it for breaking and letting Aka-chin get soaking wet,"
Melt - I can hardly breathe
My hand, touching yours, is trembling
My heart is racing under this half of the umbrella
If you should stretch out your hand to close the distance, what'll I do...?!
My feelings will reach you
How did it get to this?
Ba-dump. Ba-dump.
To this situation wherein I am being walked home by my crush and our hands are like just inches away and my heart can't stop beating so fast it can compete against a horse when racing! Oh and, we're sharing an umbrella!
I was beginning to imagine things: what if he stretched out his hand and held mine? What if he suddenly closes the distance between us? My head was filled with lots of what ifs. Suddenly I found myself thinking if I should tell him that I like him – wait, more like love him.
It's time to stop wishing, I feel like I'm gonna cry
And yet, I'm so happy I could die!
Oh my god
Oh my god
Oh my god
This is the happiest day of my life! My first love just walked me home! Ah, I could die right this instant – NO! If I die I wouldn't be able to spend the rest of my life with him! Wait, I just admitted to myself that I want to marry him!
Melt - We've reached the station...
We can't see each other anymore, we're close yet so far away, so...
Melt - I want to walk hand in hand with you!
Must we say goodbye so soon?
Hold me tight right away!
...or something
We finally reached my house and I felt a pang of sadness hit me. 'Well, it's until here, huh?' I thought. "We're here, I guess," I said looking at the ground and clutching the door knob of our house.
"Muro-chin, I'm not sure if I'll still be alive after our squad's next assignment,"
What…?
"What are you saying Atsushi? But you're… you guys are squad one! You practically rule the Elite Division!" I exclaimed. I'm sure that by now, my brother must be somewhere by the door, listening in. But I don't care what he does by now, Atsushi is… he's assuming that he's on a 50-50 mission!
"Sure, everyone else says that thing about how we rule the entire Division, but we're just your typical Genesis, the only difference is that we're a bit better than others…"
He turned his back on me and began slowly walking away. Please, don't walk away; this is the only time I got to be so close to you! Don't leave me here, worrying about you! And just as he was to disappear from my sight, I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"Atsushi, I love you!"
Later on…
"I'm home!" I shouted as I took off my shoes. I waited a few moments for some sort of response from my brother, but there was no sign of him around. Weird, he should be home by this time…
Squad 1 Vice-Commander's Office
"So, what do we have here, a first string graduate, oh you're in your batch's top ten, I'm impressed. And it also says here that you're the step-brother of Tatsuna Himuro. Oh well, glad to have you on board…"
Shintaro threw the papers he was holding somewhere and extended his arm to the newbie sitting in front of his desk.
"… Taiga Kagami."
It's been ages since I updated... well I kinda had some problems and lost my sense of writing (and suffered writer's block a lot of times)... but thankfully they came back after KnB's second season came around, that and I read some heart-capturing fanfics in the Durarara! section that actually made me cry. Also, I think I won't be using my song-fic format when it gets serious. Serious as in, nearly over.
I do not own KNB, if I did, Akashi would have way more screen time.
Reviews are appreciated! They kinda pull up my spirit! ^_^ -YunoA.
