*A car's engine sounds can be heard roaring as I emerged from the darkness, smiling.*
Me: Hello everyone and welcome to the 29th chapter of my second new Misc. Anime Story! Yipee!
*The light then turns on to see only to see that Yakito is not there yet again.*
Me: Hey come on out bro! Why are you not here again?
Yakito *off-screen*: Not coming till this arc is finished! Too busy playing NFS Undercover.
*I groaned and sighed.*
Me: Oh Man then. Looks like I'll have to say the whole thing again alone. Luckily, I got use to it so no worries.
First of all and like always, I would like to thank you all so much for supporting us by favoriting and following me as well as my other stories.
And also it's a Misc. Anime story which means it's a complete OC's story. Therefore I own the OCs and no one can use them without my permission.
And now, without delay, let's get to the 29th chapter of my second ever Misc. Anime story. Hope you all enjoy this chapter.
Yakito *off-screen*: Yay! Take that you short-haired Zack tempered boy!
Me *sighing*: Oh Well...
Chapter 29: Moving On.
Flashback
Yakito's house:
"Yakito? Are you okay? Did something happen?" Yakito's Mom asked as she then sees her younger son storming off to his room, "Yakito! Wait!"
No response. He just simply slammed the door of his room closed. Yakito's mom got a bit shaken but she did notice from Yakito's expression that he was in a upset mood and doesn't want to talk.
"What happened mother?" Ryoko Taichi asked as he rushes to her.
"I don't know but it seems that something bad had happened to him in school and it's really upsetting him." His mother said.
Ryoko then proceeds to knock the door and called:
"Hey it's me! Your older bro! Come on out and speak to us!"
"Ryoko! Don't agonize him even more!" His mother said sternly, "He won't even tell if you keep doing like that!"
"Then what am I suppose to do then?!"
"We wait for a while. Maybe leave him alone for now. He might talk after his father comes."
"But what if..."
"Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on him."
Night
Dinner Time:
"Thanks for the dinner." The Taichi family said before they started eating it.
Yakito, on the other hand, didn't feel like eating. He ate some then he stopped.
"Yakito?" His mom asked worriedly.
"I'm fine mother." Yakito said, "It's alright."
"Did something happen in school like bullying or some other crazy stuff?" Ryoko asked in which Yakito shook his head.
"Or is it about the girl we told about when you first saw her?" Yakito's dad asked in which Yakito got really surprised.
"How did you...?" Yakito asked in surprise before sighing, "So you guessed it right father..."
"I know it because you felt like you were at the top of the world when you told us that you saw her in the same high school and now you hit rock bottom which means that something must had happened in school relating to her."
Yakito gave a deep sigh before saying:
"Guess I owe you an explanation then."
He then starts to tell about what had happened at the school roof during the lunch break including the minutes before that.
5 minutes later:
After Yakito finished explaining, everyone seemed really sad.
"Dang. Sorry to hear about bro." Ryoko said sadly.
Yakito gave a sad sigh before Yakito's mom said something which caught Yakito by surprise.
"I'm sorry..." Yakito's mother cried a bit.
"Eh? What for?" Yakito asked in surprise.
"Well she's apologizing first because we are going to tell you something which I know that you are going to hate us for it." Yakito's father said before giving a sigh, "In which we deserve so because we were silent for too long and we didn't want to hurt you but, given what had happened at the school roof today, I guess it's time to tell."
Yakito gulped and nodded. Ryoko also seems curious as their parents began to explain everything.
Present:
"And oh boy mate. You did lose it." Zen said before sighed.
"Yeah. It turned out that she was involved in an accident and got amnesia and short term memory loss and that her parents begged my parents not to tell it to me. Then when I first saw again in high school and I told them, it was then her parents told the devastating news to my parents. She had forgotten about me and got engaged with another boy. Her mother cried and said that she never wanted like that to happen and will always consider me as her son in-law even though I may forget about her. She then thanked my parents for everything and canceled the call and that's it." Yakito explained before he rest his head on the steering wheel.
"Gee mate. So in short, you could never be with her ever again after the accident took place."
"Yeah."
"And the dream you told me before that she shared with you was now just a dream."
"Yeah..."
"And your parents told us what had happened. You hit rock bottom like Wile E Coyote falling down from the cliff and got depressed and they even had to take ya to the therapy when they realize that it's affecting your school work big time mate."
"True True. Not to mention so many girls confessing to me and I had to reject them all. I'm sure that I had hurt them because of it."
"But you did tell then your reason mate. One of the girls came and told me that she would be kicking herself for confessing it at the wrong time after hearing your reasoning."
"Yeah. That's a relief."
"And I'm here mate. Best friend for life mate."
"Yeah. Thank you very much for being on my side during my depressive times. I really appreciate it. I don't know what could have happened to me if you weren't into my life. I think it could have gotten a lot worse for me."
"Hey. That's what best mates do."
They sighed and gave a small chuckle before Zen said:
"And soon they graduated and was inviting everyone to their freaking marriage within a year. Had they been madly in love with each other so much and why so early?"
"Don't know and I don't care." Yakito said darkly before normally saying, "And BTW Zen, not everyone was invited which included us but I was determined to see if she suddenly remembers something when I appear and can change her mind at the last moment. I clinched on that false hope of mine and even had to drag you in."
"Yeah. The year had passed and we were 2nd year high school mates and the wedding day had arrived for them and..."
"Yeah...oh boy..."
Both Yakito and Zen sighed as they remember that wedding day.
Flashback
Wedding Day:
"The security guard left." Zen, who is in disguise, said, "Now's our chance to get in mate."
"Got it. Arigato." Yakito, who is also in disguise, said as they quickly entered the venue where the wedding will take place.
"Where do you wanna seat?"
"At the back cause it's just a come and go so we will leave immediately as to avoid getting any attention and distraction."
"Alright mate. I'm seeing such seats mate."
Yakito nodded as they quickly sit down before anyone can.
"And now we wait." Yakito said in which Zen nodded.
Few Minutes later:
Yakito's childhood friend's lover comes front to the stage as the people clapped and cheered for him.
"Here comes the bridegroom mate." Zen said slowly as he could see Yakito mumbled something, "Mate. Anything you say, if he hears you, we are done for."
"I know." Yakito said slowly, "But this guy looks so suspicious. Almost looked like he was once part of the yakuza."
"Sometimes the appearance may tend to be the only one we judge but what's most important is what's on their inside and their personality."
"I know but still I always wonder how she was able to fall in love with him. Geez..."
Again few minutes later:
The bride soon appeared in which everyone is in awe and they clapped. Yakito's eyes widen as he sees that she is accompanied by her mother and her best friend.
"Oh Crap. It's her mother." Yakito gulped and said slowly, "She's gonna see us."
"As well as her best friend. Yep, she almost looks like the one from the TV show." Zen said.
The bride smiled as she soon waves her hand to everyone in which they all clapped. She did the same thing to Yakito and Zen as well.
"She saw us." Zen said before asking Yakito as he notices something odd, "Hey mate. What's wrong?"
"Well she did but she just gave a wave to us. No stoppage, No reaction, no nothing." Yakito said before his thoughts become depressive, "Maybe she has forgotten me after all."
"She has entered the stage. There's still some chance for her to remember suddenly. Don't ya dare give up hope mate."
"It now seems practically impossible. Still if you say so..."
However, as the wedding progress is going smoothly, Yakito's last hope of her at least remembering him is slowly diminishing. And then he heard these words:
"I now thereby declaring you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
And then they kissed.
And with that, Yakito's faint hope has been extinguished.
As the people clapped and cheered, Zen groaned and said:
"That could so have been you if she had not lost her memory mate. *Sees Yakito standing up* Yakito?"
"It's over. There's no reason to be in here anymore." Yakito said depressingly as his bangs are covering his eyes, "Let's go."
Zen nodded and agreed as they quickly slip through the exit while people are still clapping and cheering.
Outside:
Yakito and Zen removed their disguised with Yakito giving a sad sigh.
"Mate. I'm really sorry about how things had ended abruptly between you and her." Zen said sadly before saying it in a bit of anger, "You knew her since childhood to elementary and half of the middle school year. It should have been you on the stage! It should have been you kissing her! It should have been you who..."
"Zen! Enough!" Yakito said sternly which stopped Zen, "There was no way that she could have ever remembered me ever since that car crash! I thought there would be some hope at least! The past doesn't matter anymore now okay?!"
"Yakito."
Silence occurred for a moment before Yakito looked up at the sky and said:
"You know something? She once told me that she dreamt that together me and her will make the best Supra JZA80 version and the best Lan Evo version in the world."
"You told me that already before mate." Zen said.
"Looks like it will forever be a dream now heh heh."
Zen notices that Yakito's tears are threatening to come down but he's wiping them off. Seeing him in such a situation made Zen sad and he wanted to cry too.
"I'm moving on." Yakito said as he looks at Zen, "If I'm not part of her life anymore, then there's no need for me to have false hope of her remembering me. You saw it yourself Zen. It never happened."
"Don't you wanna meet her parents at least?" Zen asked.
"I don't think I can. I don't have the guts now to do so."
Silence occurred for a moment.
"I can only hope now that she lives her life happily with her newly wed husband." Yakito said, "Let's go."
And soon Yakito started walking away. Zen is about to follow him when he suddenly saw the newly married couple going outside with the people cheering and clapping for her. Zen got angry as he had the urge of wanting to smack her head so badly for leaving Yakito and making him suffer but then realized that he would make things even worse for him. So instead of doing that and just before leaving, he sticks his tongue out and gave a middle finger before he left to follow Yakito.
Present:
"Well that wasn't so great after all." Zen groaned.
"Even so I wonder how she's doing." Yakito said, "Maybe she's successful right now."
"And I thought you had said that you'll be moving on."
"True but lately I've been hearing those strange voices at my head."
"So that means she is back!"
"Yeah right..."
Both of them laughed which cheered Yakito up a bit after that gloomy flashback wedding. After a while, Zen said:
"Well I'm sorry that we got caught up in those flashbacks that we didn't wanna remember." Zen said, "So I'm getting out now so that you can take your time to reflect them. I'm taking my leave now."
"Aright then. See you later then." Yakito said.
"Yeah. See ya mate and don't let it haunt you."
Yakito then unlocked the door and Zen waved goodbye to him again before taking his leave.
And with that, Yakito is alone again inside his Yellow Supra. As he takes his time to reflect on all those flashbacks, he looks at the photo of him and his ex-lover who was also his childhood friend. He then thinks:
"You know what? Ever since you holded me in your arms when I was a baby, I've looked up to you. I even got my first kiss from you. Our times were short and that you might not remember me anymore but still, those were the times that I will never ever forget about you even though you are in your new life."
"The dream of making the best JZA80 version and the Lan Evo version may be distant now but I've finally managed to have the best JZA80 version of it anyone has ever had. True, it did came from my family as part of our legacy but still I at least managed to make our dream half-complete."
"You also told me that you wanted to race me someday when we can complete our dreams. Hopefully when we meet each other again, even though as total strangers, let's hope that we can have the best race in our lives."
And during those thoughts, a song was being played:
kore ijyou nani wo ushinaeba kokoro wa yurusareru no
dore hodo no itaminaraba mou ichido kimi ni aeru
One more time kisetsuyo utsurowanaide
One more time fuzakeatta jikan yo
And after that lyrics, Yakito puts down the photo and starts his engine as the engines roar before taking off as the song continues:
kuichigau toki wa itsumo boku ga saki ni oretane
wagamama na seikaku ga naosara itoshikusaseta
One more chance kioku ni ashi wo torarete
One more chance tsugi no basho wo erabenai
And during the song being played out and Yakito driving, flashback comes again with all the scenes that were mentioned and song continued to play:
itsudemo sagashiteiruyo dokka ni kimi no sugata wo
mukai no HOOMU rojiura no mado
konna toko ni iru hazu mo nai noni
negai wa moshimo kanau nara imasugu kimi no moto e
dekinai koto wa mou nani mo nai
subete kakete dakishimete miseru yo
itsudemo sabishisa magirasu dake nara dare demo ii hazu na noni
hoshi ga ochisouna yoru dakara jibun wo itsuwarenai
One more time kisetsu yo utsurowanaide
One more time fuzakeatta jikan yo
sagashiteiruyo dokka ni kimi no sugata wo
kousaten demo yume no naka demo
konna toko ni iru hazu mo nai noni
kiseki ga moshimo okoru nara ima sugu kimi ni misetai
atarashii asa kore kara no boku
ienakatta "suki" to iu kotoba mo
natsu no omoide ga mawaru
fui ni kieta kodou
The scene then shows the Yellow Supra driving on the highway fast as the flashbacks continue to echo and the song continues:
itsudemo sagashiteiruyo dokka ni no sugata wo
akegata no machi sakuragi chou de
konna toko ni kuru hazu mo nai noni
negai ga moshimo kanau nara imasugu kimi no moto e
dekinai koto wa mou nani mo nai
subete kakete dakishimete miseru yo
itsudemo sagashiteiruyo dokka ni kimi no kakera wo
tabisaki no mise shinbun no sumi
konna toko ni aru hazu mo nai noni
kiseki ga moshimo okoru nara ima sugu kimi ni misetai
atarashii asa kore kara no boku
ienakatta "suki" to iu kotoba mo
The scene then shows the railway crossing. On one side is the Yellow Supra and on the other side is a woman walking and she is depressed as the last part of the song continues to echo:
itsudemo sagashiteshimau dokka ni kimi no egao wo
kyuukou machi no fumikiri atari
konna toko ni iru hazu mo nai noni
inochi ga kurikaesu naraba nandomo kimi no moto e
Pretty soon, they crossed each others path...
hoshii mono nado mou nani mo nai
Yakito's and the woman's eyes widen when they crossed the railway crossing.
kimi no hoka ni taisetsu na mono nado
The woman tried to turn around but then the train came and blocked the view. Elsewhere, on the other side, Yakito quickly opened the door but the train blocked the view and by the time the train left, she was gone.
"I thought that I had kinda saw her just now." Yakito thought before smiling and thinking, "It would have been nice to see her again though. I hope that you are having a good life, Umiko Yuka."
And with that, he got back to his seat, worn his sport seatbelts, stepped on the gas and left the scene.
Me: Yep. That's the end of the 29th chapter.
*No voice. Silence.*
Me *calling*: Yo. It's over now. You can come out now!
Yakito *off-screen*: Heck no! You dared to end it like the 5 cm per second movie?! Sorry but I'm not coming out for today!
Me: Pretty please?
Yakito *off-screen*: No means no!
*I sighed as silence occurred for a moment.*
Me: Well it looks like it's all on me then for the fourth time. The next chapter will be coming up within a week or a week and half so stay tune!

*And while I was waving my hands, Yakito took a peek look on-screen.*
