"Ahhh…" I yawned as I stretched my hands in mid-air. "Ittekimasu!" I shouted to nobody in particular before closing the door behind me. Both my parents are spending their vacation in the States with my grandmother. Pity I couldn't go because of school. I sighed aloud while closing my eyes and smiling at the air.
"Well, at least I have the whole gang with me at school…" I said aloud before catching a slight glimpse at my watch. "It's still quite early…I might as well walk by the park for a while." With that, I was off…
I took the last step down the stairs into the cherry blossom park. It was a beautiful day…the park was filled with pink flowers dancing with the wind in mid-air as they welcome the sun's warm rays in their soft chemistry.
"Sugoi…it's really unbelievable…" I whispered to myself. The wind grew a little stronger, as it tried to blow my skirt and my bangs gently. Several pink petals are now floating in the river just under the big cherry blossom tree that I'm leaning on. The landing petals made circular marks on the water while reflecting the sun's rays into my refreshed body. "It's just like a dream…"
'A DREAM' those words suddenly sent chills up my spine. It was an unexplainable feeling…a feeling of somebody I must see…well, that somebody is not just an ordinary person but someone really special…someone who I really care for…
"Mi-chan…" I suddenly thought. "Darn it! Why the heck did I think of that fridge boy all of a sudden!?!" I cleared my mind once again. "Ok Fuuko…think of somebody really special…think Fuuko…think…"
"Raiha-ku…" my mind…no…my heart blurted out. "Ahhh!!!!! Fuuko think properly will yah girl!!!! You do know very well that Raiha is a ninja and he can very well take care of himself. Is he it?"
I was wrong…my mind was telling me that it Raiha…but my heart…yeah I can very well feel it…it's telling me that someone is in danger…that I need to protect that person…that he or she or whoever that is…I definitely wanna see it. Argh! I'm fed up with all these thinking!!!!! My brain can hold it any longer! I need to know who that "special" person is.
"*%$##@$*"
"Huh…" I slowly looked back. "That was one familiar voice…" I told myself. I started to scan the area but I couldn't find anybody. Well, the sound does sound blurry anyway so…it might be a little far from where I'm staying. I took a step forward. Then I took another step. Then another…and another…before I knew it, I was walking towards the voice slowly…then a little faster…faster…faster…it was not long till I saw a dark figure just two trees away from me.
"I'm going now…don't worry, I'll do that in the right time." I heard the voice say.
I was right… that voice really was familiar. I've heard that many times…if only I could remember where. I moved a little closer and leaned at the tree next to him. He [judging from the voice I've heard] was about a head taller than me. Well, that's what he seems to me at this distance. That's all the information…after all; all I can see is his shadowy figure holding a phone.
"Shadow?!?" I asked myself.
"It was just like my dream…the stupid dream of mine…" I whispered to the thin air. "God, it was just like my dream! The same shadow shape." I moved forward again. This time I was only 12 inches away from him. It would have been a great help if I could see him with colors, but the morning dew of the sun's rays make him quite difficult to recognize.
"I understand. Ja…"
With that he turned the phone down. And at last…he turned back, making us face each other as the soft fog clears the way for my eyes, in order to see him properly. The sun's rays slowly brightened the image for us to see each other; I'm beginning to understand why I recognize the voice. I've heard it for several times before. It was the same cold…at the same time…lonely voice as before.
My eyes suddenly grew big with my sudden realization. The sun was now fully raised in the sky and he was now recognizable.
That hair…those tiny eyes…that smirk…his scent…that body…that face…he was none other than…
"Long time no see…" he greeted.
"Don't greet me with your smirk…" I scowled at him. " How could it be you… tell me that I'm just dreaming!"
"Sorry but you aren't…" he said with a smile.
A sweat fell down my cheek, as I stood infront of him, stunt.
