Yuki's POV
Grandma is doing really well in the hospital. I just met up with my old classmates earlier. Somehow, I'm beginning to miss Eiji. You know what they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. I felt really empty, until my handphone rang.
"Hello? Yuki Haragiri here,"I responded.
"Yuki? It's Kyoiichi!"
"Ah! Ohayo, Kyoiichi!"
"Ohayo. You free today?"
"Um...yeah. Why?"
"Wanna go out for a movie? The new movie, 'Uptown Girls' is showing in the cinemas."
"Oh...cool! Okay...what time?"
"What about noon? I'll meet you for lunch?"
"Okay! What about the sushi store near the cinemas? I heard it's good."
"Yeah. See ya soon!"
"Ja, Kyoiichi!"
I ended the call and decided to rush home to change. I needed to look presentable, at least. I took a quick shower at home and quickly got into my favourite blue GAP top and a pair of jeans. I took my sweater and quickly left home, in order to not be late.
When I arrived at the sushi shop, Kyoiichi was already seated, waiting for me.
"Hey, Kyoiichi! Did you wait long?"
"Nope. Just came. Come on, let's decide on what to eat..."Kyoiichi replied, handing me the menu. I couldn't help indulging on the ever-popular California maki and some chawan mushi and some other sushis. In fact, Kyoiichi can't take wasabi too, just like Eiji. I wonder how's he doing now..
At the end of the meal, Kyoiichi footed the bill. I would have done so myself, but he already paid, so what could I do? We walked for a while to the cinema. The movie I wanted to watch so much, Uptown Girls, was showing here. Even though it was in English, there were Japanese subtitles and I learnt English and excelled in it, so it was easy for me to understand the foreign language.
"How'd you find the movie?"I asked, as both of us were really quiet.
"It was good! How did you find it?"Kyoiichi asked in reply.
"Hm...rather good."
"Hey, d'you want some ice-cream?"
"Sure!"
I trailed him behind as he advanced to look for the ice-cream man. Finally, we found an ice-cream stand.
"What flavour you want?"
"Um...vanilla would do,"I replied.
"Sumimasen, two vanilla ice-cream cones,"Kyoiichi said to the ice-cream man, handing him a 200 yen bill. He nodded in reply and scooped some vanilla ice-cream and chucked it on the cone.
"Arigato,"both of us said to the ice-cream man. I swear I saw him smile a little, just a little, at us.
"Here you go!"Kyoiichi said, handing me an ice-cream.
.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.
Eiji's POV
Great...I'm lost here. Totally lost. This place is reeeeeeeeeally small, but I had no idea where Yuki lived. If only I could call her...but my handphone battery is flat! Of all times for it to be flat....darn it. I stopped a taxi abruptly.
"Nanjaroh hoi hoi! The city centre, onegai!"I chirped happily. Did I just see the taxi driver sweatdrop?
After 15 minutes in the Honda taxi, I finally reached the city centre, or whatever it is. I stopped outside the cinema. Great....I really had no idea where I was. I decided to take a walk around the cinema.
"Sumimasen, do you happen to have a handphone for me to call one of my friends to pick me up?"I asked a passer-by, putting on my sad puppy eyes.
"Gomen, I'd like to help you, but I don't have one,"replied the lady. She looked solemn. Great. And I thought the people at Hokkaido at least had a handphone.
I continued walking on, reaching a park. There were a number of couples there, but the only couple which caught my eye was the one where a girl looked exactly like Yuki. The guy looked slightly like me, though.
"Yuki?"I exclaimed from far. The green-haired girl turned and looked at me. She got her hand off the guy.
"Oh my god, Eiji?"she said, shocked.
"Yuki? How....how...nani..."I stuttered, shocked. I thought Yuki would never betray me. This guy looked surprised.
"Eiji? Please, don't think this way! This guy is just my friend!"
"Then how do you explain the holding hands thing? I also hardly, or rather, never held your hand!"
"Eiji.....calm down.."Yuki said, her sorrowful eyes into mine.
I could see my blood rushing to my head. God...I didn't know Yuki went back to Hokkaido for romance. If so, she should have at least told me she was bored with everything before starting another relationship. Now I felt awful. Was I that bad till Yuki had to like someone behind my back? She could just say so to me.
"Yuki....I don't know how to say this...maybe we can just end it all,"I said.
"No! Eiji!"Yuki said. I now found out that I may not be the most important person to her anymore, and never was. My heart hurt deeply inside. I could never find anyone special to me anymore. Not at all. After a year of trying, I finally give up.
I checked in at the hotel near the airport. I am gonna take the flight tomorrow, back to Tokyo. All that money down the drain for nothing. I could even have practised with the rest at Seigaku. But my mind is made up ; I'm not gonna look for love anymore, it just hurts.
