Falling Down - Chapter 2
Sarah was walking home from school and it started to rain. Her uniform was getting all wet but not her hair. While she was running home she had her bookbag over her head. She saw Koushiro up ahead. She started running towards him. Then she saw him slip and fall down.
'I hope he's ok.'
When he didn't get up she quietly snuck over and leaned over his head.
"Oi `Shiro."
She saw Koushrio look up at her. She was blocking some of the rain that was falling on him. Sarah plastered a wide grin across her face. Koushiro smirked a little despite what had happened.
"Oi Sarah. What's up?"
Sarah offered out a hand to the muddy boy.
"Me," she laughed. "And you're down. So take my hand and I'll help you up."
Koushiro looked at Sarah's funny and raised his eyebrows. Sarah smiled. Koushiro smiled as well and took Sarah's hand. She started halling him up out of the mud when suddenly he yanked on her arm and pulled her down in the mud almost on top of him. Koushiro laughed.
"`Shiro dude what in the hell was that for?!" Sarah roared.
Sarah had mud covering her from head to toe and it was dripping off of her hair. Koushiro just couldn't stop laughing.
"Man, ha ha, gomen-nesai Sarah, ha ha, that was just too funny!"
As Koushrio dubbled over in laughter, the rain stoped and Sarah started to laugh too.
After they had their laugh they both got up and started walking for Sarah's house because it was closer.
On the way there they were talking about nothing in particual when the subject of love came up.
"So little dude-" Sarah began.
"I'm not that short anymore." Koushiro cut in.
"-Yeah whatever. So as I was saying, who do you have a crush on? Or are you incapible of falling in love?" Sarah teased.
Koushiro flushed. Sarah wondered what was wrong. Koushiro just ran off. Sarah wondered where he was going but just stared after him. She didn't really understand so she just shrugged her shoulders and started walking again. She whistled while she walked and people started staring at her.
'Man it's like they've never seen a girl drenched in mud and water before.'
When Sarah got home she was greatful that her parents or older sister weren't home. Her being all muddy and such. She went to the wash room and had a quick shower. After she got out of the shower she started to do the landrey. She also called Taichi.
"Moshi, moshi Yagami residence Taichi speaking."
"Yo Taichi whats up?"
"Nothing much."
"I think he's embarsed."
"Huh who?"
'Doh Tai you're a dumbass.'
"`Shiro! Who do you think I was talking about?"
"I don't know! You could of been talking about anyone for all I knew!"
"Sorry Tai but listen I tried to make my move."
"Huh?! You did?!"
"Yea Yama told me I had to make it fast but I didn't know how to until today."
"Alright just tell me what happened."
"Ok I was walking and I saw `Shiro slip and fall. I was really worried but I had to act cool. So I walked over and we started a converstaion. Turns out he's fine."
"That's good to here."
"Yea, anyways when I tryed to help him up he pulled me down in the mud. He must of thought that I was going to help him up then push him back down. I wonder where he got tht idea?!"
"Not from me. Heheh."
"Right. So then we were walking to my house and we were talking then I asked he who he liked or something like that then his face flushed and he ran away."
""So he doesn't know?"
"Oh of course not other wise he would have told me!"
"Gomen please don't get mad at me."
"Ah alright. So what sould I do?"
'Shimatta didI just ask Tai for help?'
"Alrighty then. Heres the plan. Yama-chan will go over to your house and wait until the doorbell rings-"
"Huh?! But why would the doorbell ring?"
"I'll phone `Shiro and tell him I was talking to you and I'll get him to admit his feelings and then I'll tell him your feelings and tell him to go over to your house. Meanwhile Yama-chan well be at your house and after the doorbell rings he mess up your hair and then you can answer the door. But only open it a crack. Then improvise the door scean. Go outside and talk to `Shiro in five minutes Yama-chan will come out and tell you it's over and you and `Shiro will Have each other at last."
'That doesn't sound like a very good plan and I don't think it will work but oh well.'
"Alright. Tai are you shre this will work?"
"Positive."
"I don't know-"
"Come on this will work and by the end of the day you and `Shiro will be cuddling and so will me and Yama-chan."
"Are you just doing this to improve your relationship with Yama?"
"Moi? No way. This is all about you!"
"Ok then. I'll agree. I gotta go."
"Mata aimasho."
Sarah got off the phone in a matter of minutes Yama would be over and then she would just have to wait for Koushiro. Sarah sighed. She was never so nervous in her life.
In moments she heard the door open. She went to go see who it was. It was Yama.
"Konnichi wa Yama."
"Yo Sarah."
They both sat on the couch and waited. The atmosphere was to tence to actualy say anything so they jut sat there.
Finally the doorbell rang. Yamato scrambled to mess up Sarah's hair. When it was messed up enough she went to the door and opened it a crack. Standing there oddly enough was Koushiro.
Sarah saw Koushiro take a step back and gasp.
"Sarah, who's at the door?" Yamato called from inside the house.
Yamato walked over to the door and put his arm around Sarah. He opened the door so that he could see Koushiro as well. And for Koushiro to see him.
"Yo, it's only `Shiro. Hurry up and talk to him so you can come back inside."
Yamato leaned in and kissed Sarah on the lips. Then he walked back inside.
Sarah steped outside the door and closed it softly. She walked over to Koushiro and put her hand on his shoulder.
"`Shiro what's wrong? Was there something you wanted to tell me?" Sarah said sweetly.
She knew it hurt him to see that. It even hurt her to do that.
When Koushiro didn't speak for a couple minutes Sarah waved her hand in front of his face.
"Hello? Anybody in there?"
"Ugh...um...I gotta go." Koushiro stammered.
Koushiro took off running just as Yamto stepped out side as well.
"Damm where's he going?" Yamato asked confused.
"I don't know but I do care. This is all your's and your stupid Taichi's falut. I'm going after him."
Sarah turned to leave when Yamato caught her arm. She wildly whiped aroung and slaped Yamato. She regretted doing so right after.
Yamato droped her arm and held his cheek. He looked at the ground.
"I'm sorry Yamato I didn't mean to-"
"What I had to say isn't importaint now. Just go on after him. He might be in trouble."
"Domo arigato. I really apreatiate what your doing. I think."
Sarah took off running after Koushiro.
'I have to fin him I hav to tell him what happened and I have to confess my love for him. `Shiro I'm coming for you, koi."
Sarah ran to the park. She searched every inch of the park then decided to check his house. She reasoned that going over the Highton View Terence Bridge would cut the time travled in half so she ran towards the bridge.
When Sarah came to the bridge she saw someone getting ready to jump. When she go closer she saw it was Koushiro.
'`Shiro! It's really `Shiro. I have to tell him before it's too late.'
"Koushiro, we have to talk."
Koushiro didn't answer her. So she tryed again.
"`Shiro please come in here we need to talk, now."
She started walking towards him.
"I'm not moving and if you try and make me come in I'll jump."
Sarah stoped in her tracks. She didn't want anything to happen to Koushiro until she was done talking to him.
"Alright you stay where you are and I'll stay where I am."
"I'm warning you, don't tell me what to do. I'm not afraid of death."
'You might not be afriad but I am. I don't want to lose you.'
"Ok then. I'm sorry. This wasn't my idea. This idea was...I do know your feelings for me and I just wanted to say-"
"Oh shut up. What fellings are you talking about. I have no feelings for you."
Sarah was taken aback. She heard Koushiro curse to himself.
Sarah couldn't take it any longer so she ran over to Koushiro and grabed him around his waist. She buried her face in his back.
'I don't want to lose you.'
"I (sob) (muffle,muffle,muffle) love (sob) (muffle) and I (sob) just wanted (muffle,muffle) you (sob) (muffle) I (sob) (muffle,muffle) too (sob) (hic)."
"Wha...um...what did you say?"
Sarah dried off her tears in Koushiro's back all the while not loosening her grip.
"I said, I know that you love me and I just wanted to tell you that I love you too."
"You do?!" Koushiro said as he spun around frogetting where he was standing.
With his sudden movement the edge of the bridge where he was standing crumbled away and he lost his footing. Sarah couldn't belive her eyes her love was going to die and there was nothing she could do about it.
"Nooo! Koushiro! I love you and I want to be with you forever!" Sarah yelled as she tryed to grab Koushrio.
As Koushiro fell he uttered, "Sarah, aishiteru."
Sarah hastily leaned over the railing and grabed Koushiro's arm before he fell completly. Her grip wasn't that strong and his arm sliped and soon allshe was holding onto was his hand.
"I won't let you go. Not this time. I let Taichi and Yamto talk me into doing something really stupid and because I was so naive you're going to die."
Koushiro coughed.
"I will always be there for you don't even think of it as your falut. It was intirerly mine."
The teens heard something suddenly crack. The railing gave way and Sarah fell forward being draged by the weight of Koushiro.
"Let go of me and save yourself!"
"I can't do that!"
Sarah backed away and dropped to her knees. She then lifted Koushiro up as the railing colapsed.
"That was a close one."
Koushiro said carelessly as he fell over on Sarah.
Sarah started to cry.
"I could've lost you. Don't ever do that to me again."
Koushiro comforted her by rocking her back and forth.
"We have to get Taichi and Yamato for their stupid ideas."
"Yeah you're right let's go right now."
Sarah helped Koushiro get up and they started walking towards Taichi's house which would be where they other boys were to.
Sarah rang the doorbell while supporting Koushiro's weight. In five minutes when no one answered the door Sarah checked to see if the door was locked. It wasn't. They wen't inside. They were shocked at what they found. Yamato was curled up in a ball on the floor, crying his eyes out. Sarh left Koushiro in the doorway and ran over to Yamato. Forgetting the reason she came.
"Yama, are you alright?"
Yamato looked at her and dried his tears lightly.
"No. Don't you get it everything is falling apart!"
Sarah glanced at Koushiro who was hobbleing over to them at the very moment. When he caught her glance and saw how concerned she looked he gave her his best smile and shruged his shoulders.
"We don't get it. What happened and where is Taichi?"
Yamato broke down again. Once he finished he tryed speaking again.
"Taichi's in the hospital. He was in a car crash. He was coming to pick me up. He's in intensive care and it's all my falut. They think he's going to die."
All off a sudden Koushiro colapsed onto the floor in agony. His two friends rushed over to see what was wrong but he was going into eplitic seziores and had lost concionsness.
