The Story Of Sendoh Akira And I
Chapter One
First Meeting
It was on a gloomy and rainy Friday night. The rain was pouring down heavily on me. I didn't care. I just sat on the swing, staring at my hands, which were folded neatly on my lap. I was crying.
Suddenly, a pair of feet came to my view in front of me. I ignored them and kept on staring at my hands. Silently, he walked to my left. I thought he was going away, but no. He, instead, sat on the swing next to me. There was silence for a while, except for the gentle pitter-patter of the rain. Then he spoke.
"Hi. Who are you?" he asked in a cute little boy voice. I merely kept quiet.
"Not the type that speaks much, are you?"
I shook my head to that.
"I see.," he said softly. There was silence again.
"Why are you here? You're pretty young to be out here alone especially at this time of the night."
I looked up at him and saw that he was like me - wet, alone and very young.
"You're out here as well," I pointed out.
"Well, that's because I'm already five," he stuck out his chest proudly.
"So am I.," I looked back at my hands.
"Oh, I see. I thought you were only three or something 'coz you look so young. So why are you here anyway?"
"I..I..I ran away from home. about 2 days ago..," I replied, tears spilling down my cheeks once more, mingling with the rain.
"You did?" he asked me in such a grave and serious voice that I couldn't help but look up at him.
"Well, yes. Is anything the matter?" I asked him in my own innocent way.
"No, its just that. I ran away from home as well..," he said. Now he was crying. I cried with him. Just imagine what a sight it would be to adults, to find two children of such a young age sitting in the playground, crying, in the middle of the night.
"Why?" I asked him.
"M-my parents were fighting. They're always fighting. I couldn't stand it anymore and so I. ran away, " he told me in a trembling voice. I stared at him. I was so surprised!
"Me too.," I said, still staring at him.
He looked up, as he was crying with his hands in his face, looking downwards.
"Really?"
I nodded my head.
"So it seems we are more alike than we think..," he said softly. Then, his face broke into a watery grin.
"Hey, want to be friends?" he asked me. I stared at him.
"What? Is there something on my face?" he asked me when he noticed that.
"No.. its just that, well, no one has ever asked me to become their friend. I'm always kept alone in the High Tower of my family's huge mansion. I get so lonely at times because I'm never allowed outside the grounds without my nanny and all the other kids are afraid of her. She's as strict as she looks," I said with a slight shudder.
"Oh.. I see.. Where do you live?" the boy inquired.
"Oh, I don't really know. I think on the other side of Kanagawa. I just ran and ran all the way until I couldn't run anymore. How about you?" I answered him.
He just told me his address. At that, I stared even more. I lived just next door to him!
"Hey, guess what! I live next door to you!" I said, some of my usually cheerful mood came back.
"Really? Well, that's a real coincidence. Ikegami residence, right? Maybe I'll see you some time," he said, obviously brightening up. The rain had now stopped.
I nodded eagerly.
"You know what? We've been away from home for a long time haven't we? Lets go home together," I said happily.
He couldn't agree more. We jumped off the swings and started walking home hand-in-hand. Since we lived all the way on the other side of town, it took us quite a while. By the time we reached home, it was already dawn and our parents were at my house, very worried.
When we suddenly barged in, soaking wet and muddy, our mothers shrieked and ran towards us. They hugged and fussed over us for what seemed like ages. Finally they went home. But just before that, the boy turned around and said, "Oh, and by the way, I'm Sendoh Akira."
"Sakura. Ikegami Sakura."
I think this sux, so if you tell me so, I won't mind.. please review no matter what.. Oh, and I dedicate this to my frenz.. u know who u are!
