Chapter 5: Never forget his face
A month later and all was normal except a few things. Amon was slowly recovering and still not ready to make the chases.
Sakaki sat down at his station and pulled up Raven's file. He sighed and then placed it back into the other files. He was one of the last to leave and he picked up his helmet.
" You know your emotions are what almost got you killed Sakaki," Amon's voice broke the silence
" It was worth it," Sakaki said stopping and turning to face Amon
" I don't think you understand how important you are to the STN-J," Amon said, " Though you pull stupid stunts, you do help."
Sakaki nodded and pushed the door open and helped Amon out.
" Need a ride Amon," Sakaki asked
" No, I have a ride," Amon said
They walked down and Sakaki put his helmet on and car pulled up. Touko got out and opened the door for Amon.
" Ah, I see," Sakaki said
Touko smiled and waved to Sakaki.
" Hi Touko," he said
Amon got in and rolled down the window. Sakaki looked at the car as it left.
" Don't do anything I wouldn't do Amon," Sakaki shouted
Sakaki smiled and knew that Amon was right he was apart of the STN-J and though the one with little experience he was important. He got on his motorcycle and rode off first down to Harry's to get some coffee.
" Hi Harry," Sakaki said sitting down
" Good evening Sakaki, what can I get you?" he asked
" The usual," Sakaki said
Harry nodded and Sakaki sighed and looked at the charm. He traced the raven and smiled a little. Two young voices broke the silence and Sakaki turned around, but it wasn't who he thought it was.
" It's been a month hasn't it?" Harry said, " I believe she went to America to see a friend or someone."
" Yeah, she's probably enjoying herself. A wealthy young woman probably be spoiling herself with riches," Sakaki said
" I'm sure she's not all that happy if you ask me," Harry said, " She left something for you, and I kept forgetting to give it to you."
Harry reached over and handed him a envelope. Sakaki opened it and some money came out of it and a letter. He opened it up and read the letter.
Dear Sakaki,
I was glad to have met you. For the first time in my life I have been free from disperse because of you. You have given me so much and I have given you so little. So, here is some money for the damage that was caused in your apartment. Please my friend keep me in your thoughts and we shall one day meet again.
Forever with love,
Raven
Sakaki sighed and folded the letter and stuck it back into the envelope. He finished his coffee and paid.
" Harry, what would you do in my situation?" Sakaki asked
" She'll be back like she promised, but if you don't think you can wait for some day then I suggest you pack a bag and go," Harry said
Sakaki nodded and smiled then walked out and went home. Sakaki walked into the quiet apartment which still had Raven's sweet perfume smell. He walked around it and then stared out the window letting the night lights captured the dark room.
" Do you think I could live another day without seeing your face," A sweet voice came out of nowhere
Sakaki turned around and saw the open door, and there stood Raven. He smiled and she slipped her shoes off and walked to him.
" I thought…" Sakai started to say, but Raven silenced with him her hand
She removed her hand from his lips and reached up and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.
" How I longed to be with you, After that first day I met you. I couldn't forget your face," she whispered, " I made it to San Francisco and felt I made a horrible mistake."
" So you came back here," he said, " A month later."
" I couldn't change my ticket any sooner," she said, " But I wanted to call you, but you never gave me your number. I was lost without you Sakaki. Please don't let me be lost again."
" I won't let you," he said
He kissed her again and then lifted her up into his arms, there he walked to his bed room and shut the door.
By the next morning Sakaki held Raven in his arms and stroked her soft skin. Then kissed her.
" Never again will I let you lose your way," he whispered
