chapter 25: winter blossom part 2

Two days have passed quickly, and everyone was excited to see Ai's masterpiece. Ai was backstage waiting for Suki. Suki entered backstage wearing a lilac dress, white ballet flats with her bracelet and necklace and wore her hair down with the flower in her hair that Ai gave her. Suki looked at Ai and was blushing. He wore a white uniform, with Purple petal like features on the jacket and a gold chain on the top and white shoes. Ai turned around and said," you made it. Suki said," we wouldn't miss it for the world!" Ai was confused, until Suki showed the gang in the front row. Rika wore a black and blue dress with combat boots and was with Ranmarou in the front row. Miki wore a yellow sundress with white sandals, and was with Reiji and Natsuki in the front row. Iwasawa wore a red and black printed dress with combat boots and was with Kira and the rest of Heavens in the front. Haruka wore a white dress with a stripped jacket and boots and was with STARISH, Mina and Camus, Caleb and Talia in the front. Ai said," they really came." Suki said," of course they came, well I came here to hope you do your best. I'll be waiting!" Before Suki went to her seat, Ai stopped her and said," promise me you won't cry or be sad?" Suki was confused but nodded as a yes.

When Suki went to her seat, the show began. The music started and the projection showed the film with Ai in the middle. Ai took a deep breathe and stared to sing.

Yuki ga maru de sakura no you Uh... Silent White

Hirari... hirari... te no hira ni mai ochite kiete yuku yo

Suki felt that she was in Ai's mind looking at the images of how they first met and how their friendship developed.

KISU de oou you ni yorisoi atatameau to

Tsutau kimi no kodou ni naze ka chotto dake mune ga kurushikute

Suki saw the images progress as she thought," what is going on Ai?" As she listen to him sing.

Nee... kami-sama? Boku ni kokoro ga

Futto yadottatoshita naraba

Kanojo to onaji kanjou no

Tatta hitoshizuku... kanaete kudasai

Saigo wa egao de... nakanai de hoshii

Zettai ni kyou wo wasurenai kara

"BOKU wa kimi no naka... ikitsuzukete yuku..."

Ai wo... Uh arigatou Bye-Bye My Dear

When Suki heard that line, her eyes widen and thought," no it couldn't be?" Suki couldn't deny it much longer. She knew Ai lied to her and is going to shut down today.

Hitotsu futatsu kizamareteta Bright memory

Waruku wa nai omoide ga nukumori to kawatte yuku

Yasashisugiru kara BOKU ni wa mabushisugita yo

Kimi no kotoba no subetetachi wa utsukushiku kaze to kirameku

Amari ni mo kyori ga tookute

Kitto kizutsuketa hi mo atte

Ai was looking at Suki and thought, " these are the feelings I want to tell you the whole entire time."

Dousureba yokatta no ka ga

Tabun ima naraba... wakaru ki ga suru

Dakishimeteitai... zutto eien ni

SAYONARA no jikan tometa mama

"Kimi ga suki datta... honto suki datta"

Konna ni afureteru Brilliant love song

Ai thought again," thank you for being with me. I know you will cry, but I know you will understand." He went up to Suki and started to wipe the tears from her eyes and sung to her.

Saigo wa egao de... nakanai de hoshii

Zettai ni kyou wo wasurenai kara

"BOKU wa kimi no naka... ikitsuzukete yuku..."

Ai wo... Uh arigatou

He went back on stage and kept on singing to her as a tear almost went down his face. He thought," I can't cry right now. I want to show her my smile that she will always remember.

Soshite BOKU to iu... sonzai no zenbu wa

Hana to natte kimi wo mamoru no

Douka shinjite... mirai e no tane wa

HAATO ni saku hazu... da yo Promise to you

The music ended as Ai disappear from the stage. Everyone gave hime a standing ovation as Suki left the room first with Haruka following her first and the rest after.

At the lab, Ai was sitting in a chair as the professor ahead something in his hand. The professor said," Suki wanted to give you this as a present. You should listen to it." He handed Ai the mp3 with ear buds attached. He was about to leave when Ai said," please have Aine keep those precious memories of Suki and Ai?" The professor nodded and left the room as he prepared to unplug Ai. Ai put the earbuds in his ears and listen to the music. Ai started to cry as he listen to the song. When the professor came back, Ai and Aine disappeared and was no where to be found. He was so in shock that he started to cry.

Suki went to the studio to find a letter, a gift box, and the song Ai wrote on top of the . Suki went towards the piano, picked up the letter and started to read the letter. It says:

Dear Suki,

If you gotten this letter, that means I'm already gone. I'm really sorry that I lied to you, I wanted to have wonderful memories with you before I was gone, but time went by faster than I expected. There was something I want say to you.

I love you.

Ever since we first met, I thought you was annoying. Then, the more I spend time with you, the more I developed feelings for you. It felt like I love you for years of more. Like a winter blossom, I will always bloom in your heart. Thank you for showing me happiness and love. Maybe in the future, we might meet again in a different life time.

I will always love you.

Ai Mikaze

Suki grabbed the the box, opened it and gasped as tears went down her face. It was one of Ai's favorite hair clips he wore that was shaped like a butterfly and the picture of her and Ai on their date. Suki said to her self," oh Ai! I love you too! Always have! Always will!" Haruka asked," Su-chan, are you ok?" Suki wiped her tears, turned around, smiled and replied," I sure am Haru-chan! I'll meet you guys at sweeties. Just give ten minutes!" Haruka nodded and left the room. Suki sighed and thought," I will always love you Ai." She put the clip in her hair and left the room leaving the song and picture on the piano.

Ar: so sad, yet beautiful. Don't worry, it's not over yet! Stay tune!
