AN: I would like to apologize for not updating sooner. This isn't a real
update either, its just a 'taster,' I suppose. I've been thinking this
whole time of what to write and could not come up with anything. So this is
what I ended up deciding with. I have most of what I'm going to write for
the next few chapters planned out so that I won't be getting these awful
awful writer's block. ^^ However, updates will still take a while as I am
not yet done with SATs. So After December, I promise to work very hard on
this fic. I really must finish at least ONE of my stories. ^^ DO read the
following, tho, even if it's short, because I'll probably just start the
next chapter from where this little tidbit leaves off.
yoitsjgirl: Thank you very much for reviewing. ^^ I was very very shocked to see your review. I had no idea you actually read my work! You should have said something. -_- Anyway, thx for your support.
ToinKs: I kno, the OOCness for Soujiro was weird. Thank you for your moral support. I have the same problem as you, I cannot seem to stick to just one plot. Therefore, I'm writing down the plot this time and I WILL stick to it. I must, or else I shall go crazy. Hehe, thx again, it really helps to actually see someone write the words "You can write good stuff."
peridotpearl: Thank you for all your advice! Hehe, do keep giving me advice, it helps me write better. Or at least -_- I try to. Hehe, And the thing about Mimasaka, I fixed it for both my HYD stories. Thx ^^.
Celina: Thank you for yet another review. I guess you guys are all getting sick of reading about how I think I'm bad at writing, ne? Hehe, sorry sorry. I'll try to have more faith. Confidence is the way to go. And about Nishikado, don't worry, he's getting there. He's just a little stuck in his playboy mode right now.
Thx to elswt, Jeslene, and Yan for your reviews as well. ^^ Here's the update.

Disclaimer: Why must I type this for every chapter? It's very boring and redundant, y'kno? Anyway, I don't own anything, not even this stupid computer I'm typing this story with. -_-
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I scrunched my eyes up at the sky and warily watched the clouds that were slowly creeping in. Turning to my walking companions, Nishikado and Hanazawa, I announced unhappily, "It looks like rain."
Hanazawa nodded in silent agreement as he, too, turned his face to the sky for a look.
Nishikado shrugged nonchalantly. "Rain's rain, Yuki, no biggie." He said.
Frowning at him, I declared, "I hate it when it rains."
He rolled his eyes at me and asked, "Why?"
Kicking at the sand at our feet, I cocked my head to one side. "To tell you the truth, I haven't got a clue. The rain just makes me so sad nowadays."
"Why?" Hanazawa's deep voice asked.
I opened my mouth to answer, but at the moment, my cell phone rang.
No, you didn't read wrong, it says "my cell phone." Two days ago, after Nishikado kindly told me I was like a sister to him; he proceeded to drag me out for the entire afternoon and bought me a cell phone. I put up a tantrum about him buying something that expensive for me, but stopped when he burst out laughing, saying that I reminded him of Tsukushi. He said a cell phone is useful in case anyone wanted to locate me.
I smoothed my thumb over the smooth lid of the cell phone, my constant reminder of Nishikado, and flipped it open.
"Hello?" I inquired.
For a moment, the person on the other end of the phone paused. And then a deep, sonorous voice spoke in barely a whisper. "Yuki?"
I stood rooted to my spot, unable to utter a sound in response to such a simple inquiry. There was something in the voice.. something about the voice itself that made my mind balk. There was something about the voice that rang so clearly in my head that reminded me of.. rain.
"I've finally found you." The beautiful voice breathed.
The voice, I could not bring myself to think of anything but the speaker's voice.
"Who - who are you?!" I managed to cry out. My fingers moved on their own, hanging up on the speaker and his haunting voice.
"I - I didn't mean to.." I stared at the phone, unsure of what I had done.. of what had just happened.
"What is wrong?" Hanazawa asked, pulling the phone from my grasp.
"Someone called, and all he said was 'I've finally found you.'" I explained.
Nishikado's brows shot up. "Oh," he said sarcastically, "That explains why you are suddenly incapable of shutting your mouth." He reached a hand out and closed my gapping mouth.
I watched Hanazawa Rui from the corner of my eye as he dialed back to the number that called me.
"I'm sorry," I tried my best to say, "I'm not sure why I'm like this either. It was just that.. the person who called me. I remember his voice."
"Is he the stalker?" Nishikado asked sharply.
"I don't know. There's something so.. familiar about his voice."
Hanazawa shook his head impatiently and turned to me.
"What is it?" Hanazawa asked me, closing the phone and giving it back to me.
"He reminds me of.. of rain and .. someone I knew three years ago."
AN: What thinkest you? I used reviewer idea! Person from the past. OoOOooOo. Okay, not much on that right now, but like I said, I've got the plot planned out for next few chappies, no worries, I won't leave u in the dark forever. ^_~
