Chapter 3 - Anywhere, Away From The Sadness...
~~~Cyeryl~~~
I was back in the National Library, in the reference room. The dusty, dull room was still the same. Except from a certain red book that has been lying on the floor.
"This..."
I slowly picked it up and read its cover. As I did from the first time I saw it.
"'The Universe of the Four Gods ~Sky and Earth~'... Have I... been inside this book??"
I quietly asked myself but I know that I'm not going to get any answers so I shrugged and put the book back to its place. I sighed deeply.
"Now, minus the problems that had just pasted, how the hell am I gonna get out of this place without being seen?"
I slowly opened the door and peekedfrom the room.
"... Coast clear..."
I tip-toed away from the reference room and then quickly ran out of the National Library. I sighed in relief that I didn't get caught.
"... Was it all a dream?... Nah, it can't be! 'Cause... my head's aching... Oh, what the hell..."
I ran towards my house but on the way through, someone called me.
"S'cuse me."
I skidded to a stop and said,
"What?"
I studied the person. He was a handsome boy, about 17 or 18. He had a firey orange hair. He also had fangs... okay, fangs peeking through his parted mouth. He wore a normal shirt and jeans. Nothing abnormal.
"Who're you?"
I asked. And instead of answering my question, he goes,
"Do ya believe 'n reincarnation?"
"... ...Goodbye! I'm in a rush!!"
He's mad. I swear he is. I QUICKLY ran past him and bang opened my house door that was a few blocks away from that boy...? Did I just saw that boy frown? Ugh! ANYWAY,
"Mu--m!! I'm home!!"
No answer.
"Mu--m? I. AM. HOME!!!!!"
I shouted but still, I didn't recieve an answer. I went to the lounge. No one. I went to the kitchen where she'd usually be. Again, I saw no one but a letter. I looked at it and saw that it was from my mum and I decided to read it.
Dear Cyeryl,
I'm really sorry to tell you this... but I have to leave you. I've decided to start my new life in somewhere and for that to happen, I need to be by myself. You'll just be a burden to me.
I wanted to tell you this earlier but I couldn't say it from my mouth.
That's why I'm telling you in this letter.
I left quite a lot of money on the kitchen table. At least till you're a well grown up, grown up enough to take care of yourself.
I'll send you some more money afterwards.
I'm really sorry. I'm not going to ask you to forgive me. And I totally know that it's unforgivable to you.
I'm really, really sorry.
I won't be coming back.
Goodbye...
You mother,
Sharon Keanes
I blinked. What is this all about? What. Is. This. All. About? WHAT. IS. THIS. ALL. ABOUT!?
"W-what the fuck is she chatting about!?!?"
I scrunched up the letter and threw it across the kitchen. I clenched my fists till my knuckles went bright white. My nails dug into my flesh and it started to bleed but I didn't care.
"What the... what the hell...!?"
I dropped to my knees while I was in shock. Shock that my mum had left me.
"Why?... New life?... NEW LIFE!? FUCK THAT SHIT!!!!!!"
I screamed and banged my fists hard onto the floor tiles. Again and again.
"She has... no right to leave me!!!! After all she has done to me and dad!!!!!!!"
I continued crying and crying until I fell asleep, a dreamless one. In a few moments, I glowed bright white and dark black. After that, I glowed red and blue until I disappeared into thin air.
~~~Miaka~~~
I closed my eyes hard as the tree in front of us(meaning me and Yui-chan) was about to drop on top of us. I was expecting some pain but when I slowly opened my eyes... we were back in the National Library!!
"W-what happened??"
Yui-chan moaned.
"Was it a dream??"
I glanced at my watch and gasped.
"Gah! I'm late to my private school!!"
As soon as I said that, a man, maybe the Librarian, came barging into the rference room and shouted,
"You're not suppose to be in here! Get out!!"
Both me and Yui-chan got startled and we dashed out of the room, saying,
"G-gomennasa~i!!!!!!!"
After we were out of the National Library, we talked for a while and then decided to think about the dream later. I agreed and headed towards my private school and then back home. Later that night, I was sitting on my chair and on my desk, was my diary.
Dear Diary,
Today in the National Library, Yui-chan and I had a very weird dream... or was it really a dream? I think we got sucked into that book called, 'Shi Jin Tenchi Sho'. Oh, and by the way, inside that book, we met a girl who speaks English and a very weird but a handsome boy! He's a bit cheap skate but I wish I could see him again...
Miaka
I paused for a while and then quickly crossed out the, 'I wish I could see him again...'. I sighed.
"I can't think about boys right now. First, I'll have to past my exams!"
I did a gut's pose just like that Cyeryl in the dream... or in the book. Dipute the facts that I have exams and all... that boy's REALLY handsome!! I suddenly stood up from my chair and acted out what happened that time.
"Yamena!!(stop it!!)"
I grabbed the air.
"AITETETE!! U-udega...!(AITETETE!! M-my arm...!)"
I brought my right arm behind my back and made a face.
"Daijoubuka, utsukushii hito?(Are you okay, beautiful person?)"
I know he didn't do that but just to make it more romantic, I shone my eyes and stretched out my right hand towards the floor as I knelt down.
"Hai..."
I watered my eyes as I knelt down and stretched out my right hand towards the ceiling.
"M-Miaka... what ARE you doing?"
My mum stood at the opened door, carrying a tray of onigiris(rice balls) and I sweatdropped along with her.
~~~The Next Day~~~
After school finished, Yui-chan and I was in the National Library. Since I was asleep in the last lesson, I didn't get to copy out the whole thing so I asked Yui-chan if I can copy it off of her.
"You know what... I really didn't know that an examinee would sleep during lessons..."
I sweatdropped and did a nervous laugh.
"Ehehehe... it was a promise not to say that, Yui-chan~"
Yui-chan smiled.
"Whatever~"
In the meantime it was time to go to my private school. I apologised to Yui-chan.
"Gomen, Yui-chan! I have to go to--"
Yui-chan cutted me off with a,
"I know, I know. You better hurry up! You can copy off the work later, okay?"
I smiled at her.
"Arigatou, Yui-chan! Ja ne!!"
I sprinted off towards my destination while thinking of that boy... I mean, the time!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the private school(with some beats and shouts from the teacher), I headed back to my house. I looked around and I realised that most of the people were couples. I saw another across the street and I mumbled,
"Ah, they are overage and still stuck together--"
I gasped. When I looked at the couple carefully, I noticed that it was my mum and a man with glasses.
"M-mum!?"
Standing still as a pole, I stared after them, shocked. Couple of minutes later, I arrived at my house.
"T-tadaima~..."
The front door was still opened behind me. My mum came into my view. When I looked at her, I twisted my face. Why did she look angry?
"Miaka. You were meeting a boy, weren't you?"
... Huh!? I blinked. My mum held out her hand which was holding-- MY DIARY!?
"Miaka, you are an examinee! You have to face the exams!! Don't think about boys now! Though, I bet you've been seeing this boy and not going to your private school today!!"
I shook with rage.
"Why did you read my diary!? That's so sad of you!!"
My mum snapped back at me.
"I'm not talking about that right now!! I just want you to be in the top class and in a good qualitied shool!!"
I glared at her and bursted.
"You always... YOU ALWAYS WANTED ME TO BE AT THE TOP!! YOU ONLY THINK ABOUT YOUR REPUTATION, NEIGHBOURS AND ALL!! I BET YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A SINGLE CLUE OF WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH!!!! I NEEDED A REST, I WANTED TO PLAY WITH MY FRIENDS!! BUT NO!! I JUST HAD TO REFUSE IT!! FOR YOU-- "
'SLAP!!'... ... ...She slapped me. The sound of flesh and flesh contacted echoed through the house.
"Nani yo... EVEN YOU WERE WITH A MAN!!!!!"
I turned around but saw Keisuke, my brother in the way so I pushed him towards the wall and ran past him.
"M-Miaka!!"
I ignored my mum's call and dashed through the street with tears flowing down my cheeks. Without thinking, I was standing in front of the National Library.
"The library... why did I...?"
I slowly walked towards it. But when I did, I heard a faint, 'CLICK'.
"W-what was that?"
Suddenly, I felt something pulling me... from inside the building. I held onto the handles and pushed on it. When it opened, I got startled. I went inside. As I walked, my footsteps echoed.
... Did I just hear something?? Argh, I'm starting to go insane! Anyway, I walked upstairs where the reference room is. Again, when I was in front of the door, I heard a, 'CLICK'. I sighed.
"Everytime I hear a click, the door opens. Isn't that natural?"
I said sarcastically. What isn't natural is... 'why does the door open right in front of me when there's nobody I can see opening it'!? I pushed the door and slightly coughed when the dust entered my mouth.
"Hey, that book is on the floor again!"
I picked up the red book and sat down on the floor. I coughed for the second time as I dusted the book off.
"I could stay here for a while and make my mum get worry!"
I smiled and flipped through few pages until I saw...
"A boy with a sign of 'ogre' on his forehead saved the girl and her friends from the slave traders."
Is this talking about the... dream!?
"Uso... nande?(No way... why?)"
In an instant, a bright red light encircled me. I let out a short scream before disappearing into the book.
I've totally forgotton about the disclaimer thingie!!
So, well... as everybody knows, I do not own FY even though I really want to...
