The sounds of birds chirping and wind blowing awoke Hikari. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked at her surroundings. She was still in the Wizard's house. She expected to smell curry being cooked, and the familiar voice of the Wizard telling her that supper was ready.
The memory faded. It seemed that Hikari was expecting a lot of things ever since Wizard left. She kept thinking that, if she kept remembering things of the past. Precious moments they spent together. Than the hope that he never really left would stay alive. Even though she knew that was pure rubbish. Pure and utter foolishness.
She got up and re made Wizards bed and took his cloak off. She remembered the many nights they spent out in the cold looking up at the stars. A many a time he would look down at her freezing and rubbing her hands on her arms trying to find warmth. Then he would smile, take his cloak off and place in on her. Then pull her into his lap and wrap his arms around her, trying to help her find warmth. Then gently kiss the top of her head. So many memories...
She folded the cloak up with her eyes closed refusing to even look at it and set it neatly upon his bed, and left as if she never came in the first place.
Despite the hot sunshine of Spring Hikari felt a massive chill as she looked around her. She missed Wizard so much. And it made her sick that she felt this way. She needed some kind of comfort, but wouldn't reach out for it. And even if it did come, she would probably just push it away.
When she arrived home, she noticed that the little red flag on her mail box was sticking up, signaling that she had mail. She grabbed the letter out of the tin can called a mail box and walked inside her house.
She sat down at her table and started to open the letter. When it was opened and the contents were in her hand she read...
It was an invitation...To a wedding...
Hikari didn't know why but for some reason she couldn't breathe regularly anymore. She felt her heart rate speed up, her face flush, and her head go dizzy. She thought...If Wizard was still here, would she be holding the invitation to her own wedding instead of someone elses?
She head a knock at her door. She tried to get up and answer it, but the only thing she succeeded in was collapsing to the floor blacking out...
When Hikari awoke, she was temporarily blinded by white. She grumbled to herself, and sat up. Who put this much white in there house. Seriously? She looked at the place she was currently stuck in. It was the clinic.
"Ahh! Hikari-chan your awake!" She looked up to see a boy with blue messy hair, covered by a orange fire printed bandanna look down at her. It was Luke.
Now Luke and Herself, weren't considered the best of friends like her and Julius were, but she always had him around every now and then, when she wanted to have a wood chopping buddy.
"Whats going on? Why am I here?"
"Because you blacked out from a high fever." Jin walked in. Jin was particularly handsome himself. Hell...all the guys on this island where. Sometimes Hikari began to wonder if the Harvest Goddess did this on purpose. I mean she is a Goddess She could have sent out the invitations to join her island to good looking guys. She may have a dieing island on her hands, but the Harvest Goddess wasn't stupid.
"Geeze Hikari-chan. If I'd known that you were going to faint if I knocked on the door I wouldn't have came over." Luke said, grinning his mile wide grin and rubbing his hand against the back of his neck akwardly.
"Actually Luke, If you didn't go, Hikari still might be passed out on the floor. Or worse dead. Her temperature was 103.F" Hikari gasped. That high? All because she looked at a piece of paper that had the words wedding on it? She sighed. Luke gasped. "So that means I'm a hero then!" [Mwahaha America reference] Jin just sighed and rubbed his temples frustrated.
After Jin had gotten Luke to calm down, his discharged Hikari from the clinic saying that if her fever goes back up to take some medicine. She nodded making a mental note of everything he was saying, and headed back home.
It was really late. She looked up at the mood. It was a crescent moon that took the shape of a smile. It smiled down upon her as to laugh at her misfortunes. She wiped the tears that were forming at the brink of her eyes.
"If only Wizard was here." She muttered aloud. "If only he was here..."
"But I am here Hikari-chan." A voice from behind her spoke.
