A/N: I am so sorry for making you wait! How long has it been since I last updated? About a year? Thank you for those who reviewed my story. I'm also sorry if I have some facts wrong. Like I said, it has been a long time and I've forgotten some important facts in the story. But I do know how I'm going to end it. Anyways, this chapter is about the movie. I want to finish the movie so that we can go to China where most of the plot is going to be.
Kenji walked slowly home, remembering the times he had with her, but most of all, the guilt of betraying her. It was only in the times of loneliness that he finally knew that she was the one. The one that could make all of his problems go away with just a smile. He knew that he could never move on without her, his loved one. But he never told her. Now, it's too late. She's gone, without a goodbye.
*next day*
"Okay, class. Today, I want you to write a poem and present it to the class." Ms. Terada said. (A/N: ran out of names...^_____^)
Kenji sat there, looking at his blank paper, with his name only covering the paper. =I'm not good with poems...= Kenji sat there, until an image of Suki appeared in his head. Kenji smiled, getting an idea in his head. Then, he began writing a short, simple poem.
*about twenty minutes later*
Ms Terada said, "I'm going to call you up one by one in alphabet order. First up, Kenji Akai."
Kenji slowly stood up, walking towards the front of the room, eyes drooling over him.
Kenji cleared his throat, looking at his paper.
"Love is a poem written in blood
The blood of joy and the blood of self-abuse are equally sincere;
The scars from a knife and a kiss are the same-
So are sorrow and joy,
Compassion and hate,
For in love you must forgive both."
Whispers were heard around the room as some of the girls were wondering why there were tears in Kenji's eyes. Maybe it was for that girl Suki...
"I am bowed down.
Fate has built a dry well with cold hard bricks
That wall me in.
Fate makes me cry a limpid spring
And will never release me,
Even if my flood of tears turns into a river
Because of my longing for you.
It must be so-
For Fate is absolute master,
For in love
The scars from a knife and a kiss are the same.
You must forgive both."
Everybody stood up, clapping for Kenji. Never would they have thought that Kenji could write like that. In the past, Kenji wrote nonsense poems full of trickery and mischief. The teacher was in awe over such a poem from such a totally opposite person. Something in Suki changed him.
Kenji wiped his tears as he walked back to his desk.
After school, Kenji ignored all of his friends and looks from people as he walked over to Suki's house.
Walking up the stairs, with the teddy bear in his hand which he kept in his book sack, he headed towards Suki's old room. The smell of strawberry and cherry blossom intoxicated his senses as he reached for the doorknob. He recognized the scent, as he quickly opened the door, finding nobody. =I thought Suki was here.= Kenji thought, frowning.
Kenji walked over to the window, opening it to let the fresh air fill the room. As he opened it, he saw a shadow in the corner of his eye. Kenji turned around, seeing a stray white cat.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Kenji said, smiling. He knelt down on the floor next to the cat, petting it.
Kenji looked at the cat, remembering what Suki said to him.
*flash back*
"Who's this?" Kenji asked, pointing to a picture frame.
In the picture was a young Suki sitting on the floor with a white cat snuggling up to her.
"Oh, that's Fluffy." Suki said, picking the picture frame up. "She was a month old when I got her. I was six at that time. She was so fluffy and soft when I got her. That's how I got the name." Suki laughed, "I remember the time when she got stuck in the tree. Fluffy was so scared. I was afraid that she would never get out. She never climbed trees afterwards. Oh, I remember a certain trick that she loved to do. Fluffy loved to walk on her hind legs for fun." Suki's face saddened, "But one night, I left the window open. It was raining and I let Fluffy sleep on my bed as usual. The next morning, I looked for her, but she was nowhere in sight. I blamed myself for leaving the window open. About a year later, I just gave up. I looked for her everywhere. In the neighborhood, the park, pound, asked everybody, place signs everywhere, put up ads in the newspaper and the internet, and even looked in the trees. Ever since then, I had other cats, but they weren't Fluffy."
*flash ends*
Kenji stayed in Suki's house until it was nighttime. He sat by the window, looking up at the stars.
"Huh?" Kenji looked at the cat who was slowly getting up. The cat got on its hind legs and started walking towards Kenji. "Fluffy? Is that you?" Kenji said, moving over to the cat. The cat purred as Kenji petted it.
Kenji smiled, saying, "Suki would be so happy to see you."
"I am."
A/N: Cliffhanger? Right? Nah, you probably know who said that, right? This chapter is so short because of some writer's block.
