Mayu found Haruko writing on her desk that day. " Moshi!" Mayu greeted her in all smiles. It was about a week after she told her secret to her. Haruko looked up and gave her a weary smile. " ohayou." Haruko said. " what are you doing?" Mayu asked her. " nothing. Just a letter for my mom." Haruko lied. This is a surprise for you, baka. Haruko thought. Mayu smiled then sat on her chair then looked outside. She breathed deeply then sighed.
" the world is such a pretty place!" Mayu exclaimed. Haruko laughed. Mayu suddenly coughed a couple of times. Haruko nervously stood up then went to her.
" are you ok? is there something in you that hurts?" Haruko asked worriedly. " Haruko, don't fuss! It's like I'm going to die immediately!" Mayu joked but her giggled died off, seeing Haruko's concerned face. " don't worry. I'm ok." Mayu told her. the bell rang and Haruko went back to her seats.
Nice thinking, baka. Now she's guarding you like a hawk! Mayu thought as the sensei started her lesson.
Mayu was pulled out after lunch for practice. The basketball team needs their gym this afternoon so the dance club will use it during class hours. Haruko was staring absentmindedly outside, not listening to the sensei.
I hope nothing happens to her. please don't let it!. Haruko prayed. " Akagi. Akagi!" the sensei yelled and Haruko jumped up in surprise. " next time, pay attention." The sensei said. Haruko blushed furiously. " gomen ne, sensei." Haruko said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the team are practicing their third dance. Mayu is getting exhausted every minute that passes by. Please, Kami-sama. Let me endure this until I get home. Please make me strong! Mayu prayed.
The last of the dancers were moving out when the basketball players came in. Mayu was fixing her bag when she noticed eight unfamiliar faces coming inside the gym. Sakuragi came to her, smiling energetically. How I wish I can smile like that. Mayu said silently.
" Mayu-san! How's your practice?" Hanamichi asked her. " fine. We're finished with the whole dance but we're sticking for polishing." Mayu told him. her eyes caught glimpse of Rukawa, not far from Hanamichi. " you ok? you look pale." Mitsui said, jogging towards her.
pale. Just like last week. Rukawa tensed.
" I'm a little dehydrated, that's why." Mayu answered. those eight unfamiliar faces came to them.
" Mayu-san, this is Sendoh Akira, Koshino Hiroaki and Aida Mikohichi from Ryounan." Akagi said. " and this is Fujima Kenji and Hanagata Toru from Shoyo and Maki Shinichi, Jin Shoichiro and Kiyota Nobunaga from Kainan high." Kogure added. " hi! I'm Tanaka Mayu. Nice meeting you all." Mayu said. Haruko came inside the gym with her shoes off followed by panting Matsui and Fuji.
" Mayu! Are you ok?" Haruko asked. Mayu stared at her nervously. " Haruko, what's the fuss?" Akagi asked his sister. Mayu now really looked nervous and Rukawa and Haruko can't miss that. " n-ne, oniichan. I'm just worried because Mayu hit her head against my locker door this morning so I figured out that her slight dizziness." Haruko lied.
" ne Mayu-san, is that why you look a little pale?" Sendoh asked her. " h- hai." Mayu answered nervously. There is something going on here, and Akagi Haruko knows it. Rukawa concluded in his mind.
" so I hear you're a member of the dance club. Good luck with your piece to the Dance Craze next month!" Fujima told her. yeah, next month. Like I'm still alive. Mayu thought. " oh yeah. Thanks." Mayu said distractedly. " are you really ok? you seemed a little distracted? is it the bump on your head?" Mitsui asked worriedly and touched Mayu's head.
Rukawa stayed not really far from the group. Dare he touch her like that! Rukawa's heart protested. " baka." He snorted silently.
Mayu can feel the irritation in her throat when, " Mayu! Catch!" one of her teammates threw a bottle of yellow colored liquid, Mayu's disguised medicine. " t-thanks." Mayu said and caught it then drank immediately. " told you I'm dehydrated." Mayu told them when she saw their concerned faces. " oh yeah." Hanamichi said in uncertainty. Two shadows fell across the entrance of the gym; one fat and plump and the other is sturdy and tall.
Mayu turned around and saw Anzai-sensei and her brother, Ken. " you're brother's here to pick you up." Anzai-sensei said. Mayu nodded in acknowledgement. " he's one good man." Anzai-sensei added. " Yu-chan, it's time to go home." Ken told her. Mayu smiled sadly. She turned to them and bowed goodbye. " Sayonara!" Mayu said and run towards her brother.
Sayonara. Kami-sama, please don't take her away, not now, not ever! Haruko thought, trying her best now to cry when, " see you tomorrow, Haruko!" Mayu yelled.
Sayonara. I don't like the sound of it, not a bit. Rukawa pondered, watching Mayu's back disappeared.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Yu-chan, are you ok?" Ken asked her as they stopped in front of their car. Ken opened the door of the driver's seat. " yeah, I think." Mayu said. " what do you mean?" Ken turned around, just in time to catch the faint body of Mayu. " Yu-chan!" Ken cried. he opened the door of the back seat then brought Mayu in. he laid her on the seat the closed the door. He went inside the car swiftly then revived its engine before speeding away.
Yu-chan, please don't leave me! I don't know what I'll do without you! Ken frantically thought as he drive home. He can hear coughs from the back seat that urged him to go faster.
Haruko's heart suddenly took pace. Mayu! Haruko thought. She looked outside with a worriedly looked in her eyes. please don't let it be Mayu! Please! Haruko pondered hysterically. Akagi noticed his sister's strange behavior.
" Akagi, what's wrong with Haruko?" Kogure asked, noticing her too. " I wish I know." Akagi murmured. I really do. He added silently.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mayu was brought up immediately and medicine was supplied to her. her mother was crying as she and Ken tend to her limp body. She was so pale. " dad said he'll be here immediately as soon as he fetch a doctor on the way." Ken said, watching helplessly at the figure of Mayu gasping for air.
The door opened and Tanaka-san and a doctor came in. " what happened?" Shoichiro asked his wife. " Ken came back with Mayu unconscious. God, Shoichiro I can't stand losing her!" Laika sobbed, watching the doctor examine Mayu's body. " she won't die. I promise." Shoichiro said. even though I know I can't. he added in his mind.
Mayu's condition became normal that night. the rest of the family breathed calmly but not until the doctor gave them her life span. " she will only leave for a short time, Tanaka-san. Maybe a month or more, I'm not sure but it can become shorter. I'm sorry." those were the words that pierced their weary hearts. One month or less and Mayu will die. sorrow filled the Tanaka residence the whole evening. No one decided to sleep, afraid that the night would steal Mayu's life away while they are in deep slumber. Ken remained kneeling beside Mayu's bed. " Itomo-chan, don't die.please.I'm begging you." Ken sobbed, still clutching Mayu's hand.
Mayu awakened next morning and got up, ready for school.
" Mayu-chan, you can't possibly go. You're still weak." Her mother insisted as she dressed. Mayu smiled at her sadly. " mom, I only have short time left, please don't deprive me from what I needed to do, just this last time." Mayu said softly. Her mother's swelling eyes welled up again as she sobbed in Mayu's arms. " I don't want to lose you." she sobbed. " mom, we can't change what's really about to take place." Mayu said and released her. she kissed her father's cheek and Ken's cheek before going out of the house. Laika dropped into her knees and sobbed her heart out.
with in two weeks, Mayu focused herself in the practices, making sure that someone took her place in the formation, reasoning that its better if she won't dance, on her newly-found friends, Haruko, Matsui, Fuji, the Sakuragi- guntai and the basketball team and lastly but not the least, in her family. Mayu wanted to treasure everything, everything that she knew from the very start. She's drifting, drifting away. Death slowly eats her body and soul.
