What If? Part 1- That Day
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters present in this story. They all belong to Yuu Watase as everyone but the biggest idiot in the universe knows. Yes you confused person over in the corner, that includes you.
Note: In this fic, my mission is to look in brief, or perhaps great detail at what might have happened if: one stupid carriage driver had decided to go down another street; had decided there was no need to rush; had thought that maybe drinking so much sake wasn't such a good idea. So without further adieu: the fic.
"Hey c'mon! You better hurry! I'm gonna beat you!"
"Get back here! No fair, you got a head start Kourin!"
She was already ahead by a substantial amount and was still going strong. Then again, she wouldn't have started the race if she didn't think she could win it. She had caught her older brother unawares and had managed to get going before he even realized what was happening.
"Hurry up, Ryuuen! You're so slow!" She stopped in her tracks to look back at him, grinning broadly.
All of a sudden, a speeding carriage whipped around the corner and came charging up the street, ignoring the pedestrians, who scattered to get out of the way
But Kourin hadn't noticed yet. Still looking back at her brother she began running again, oblivious to the danger ahead.
Ryuuen had stopped running, watching in horror as the carriage approached. It was going so fast. "Kourin, look out!"
Kourin turned and looked back. She pivoted but a rock found its way under her foot and she tripped, falling, falling. She gave a cry and pulled her legs in as the carriage went barreling past, kicking up a cloud of dust that engulfed her.
"Kourin! Are you okay?!" Ryuuen shouted, running to her side, coughing from the dust that still surrounded them; the only remnant of the carriage's passage.
"He nearly ran me over! What was he doing driving so fast anyway!" She balled her small hands into fists, scowling furiously. 'He could've really hurt somebody!' she thought.
"Well, no harm done," Ryuuen said cheerfully, helping Kourin to her feet and dusting her off very gently, keeping his extra strength in check. He was feeling intensely relieved, for some reason. Even more than he should have been, he thought. He had had the most awful feeling just then. but no matter. Everything was okay.
"No more races today, guys. That was too close," said Rokou, Ryuuen's oldest brother, coming up to them with an anxious look in his face, flushed from chasing after them.
"Aw, Rokou, you're no fun!" Kourin whined. "He can't help it, he's the oldest," Ryuuen said in a mock-serious tone. Kourin and he both laughed as, holding hands, they began walking again, leaving Rokou to follow along behind them.
