"Toriaezu naite miyou" (now I cry)
"ME O AKETE!!! HINATA!!! ME O AKETE!!! AISHITERU!!!!!!!!" A raven-haired boy wept clutching a girl's limp body.
"I love you." more repressed sobs manage to escape his mouth
"Why?"
'Why? Why did it have to be you?! The only true friend I have??? Why did God have to pick you? He has too many angels up there already! Why couldn't he just give this one to me?!'
Images of that girl fill his mind. flashing by his eyes in an instant
He could hear voices whispering into his ear. 'Hoy, omae. I'm still here.'
Tears continue to flow down his face
'I'll be here. Just watching. Remember that. I'm right behind you every step of the way.'
"Don't leave me."
~Flashback~
"Don't leave me."
"I'm not leaving you, baka!"
"." subdued tears begin to fall again
"STOP CRYING!! STOP IT!!" Hinata's eyes fill with tears and she embraces the crying boy. no. no boy was in her arms. a man. a man she had grown to love and respect.
"Ore. ore wa." Rukawa stuttered
"Hinata, you have to leave already." Saeko and Yukaeshi both said as they came into the room.
"Oops. I can give you a few more minutes..." Saeko said.
"No. it's ok." Hinata picked up her suitcase and began to walk out of the house, onto the street.
"Hinata."
"See you guys in two years!! I'll miss you!!" Hinata bade farewell to her three closest friends in the world. She was going to the US to finish High School since a very famous American school invited her to study there on a scholarship.
"See you, itouko!!"
"Bye Hinata!!" The two waved goodbye as Hinata closed the taxi's door and they drove away.
"Bye." Rukawa slumped and picked up his bike.
"Rukawa-kun, where are you going?" Yukaeshi asked.
"Home. I don't feel so hot."
"Ok then. see you around!"
"Bye Rukawa!!" Saeko started for home as well while Yukaeshi went back inside the house that her cousin slept in dozens of times. just enveloping herself with the happy memories that occurred there.
It was raining then. Rukawa started to use up the last of his unshed tears while riding home. Until.
There was a loud crash heard.
He rode as fast as he can in the direction of the crash.
~End flashback~
He placed a kiss on her still warm lips and just lay beside her, praying, in front of the wreckage of the two vehicles.
"kid, give her some air!" A medic shouted as he pushed him away from Hinata's body. He called some others for assistance and they started checking for her pulse.
"She's a goner. sorry kid." Another medic sadly told him.
"No. NO!!! SHE'S NOT DEAD!!!" He hysterically pushed his way through the thickening mass of medics, policemen, reporters, and other curious bystanders.
He started pounding hard on Hinata's chest. Blowing air into her mouth. All that time, he was crying.
'Why?! Why can't I protect the ones I love?! Why am I so weak?!' he screamed in his mind while still working Hinata's lungs.
The medics and policemen tried to pull him away, to no extent.
After one last try, Hinata started coughing.
All the people that were watching were astounded.
And she opened her eyes.
"Hi." she smiled.
