Kurama and I had been close for a long time. It used to give me a thrill every time he said my name, or especially when he introduced me as 'his girlfriend'. It's too bad Kurama isn't here anymore...

It started on our very first date. We went into a café. It was absolutely romantic. That day we became 'official'. We heard the song "Truly, Madly, Deeply". I was touched by the romantic lyrics.

"Botan," he said, "let it be our special song. Let it give us hope and strengthen our relationship."

We were so carefree, and unable to imagine the disaster that might have been avoided. We enjoyed our deep relationship for a whole summer. Then it happened.

Kurama and I were driving in his car. I was wearing my seatbelt, but Kurama wasn't because it had broken. A car swerved in front of us. The driver was obviously drunk. Kurama tried to get out of the way, but he couldn't stop the crash.

I came out unhurt, but as for Kurama...needless to say, I soon visited him... at the cemetery.

I refused to come out of my room afterwards. The pain was horrible. My parents allowed me to mourn, but I had to go to school. I hated it, because of my classmates' sympathy. Sympathy is a bitter pill to swallow.

One day I came home in a horrible temper. I slammed the door and yelled at my parents. Then I sulked in my room.

Suddenly, I noticed a radio there. I didn't have a radio. I was puzzled, and turned it on. It began to play. "Truly, Madly, Deeply." I went downstairs hoping to thank my parents, moved by their concern. I felt sorry for my earlier actions.

"Thanks for the radio, mom," I whispered. She smiled. "Oh no, Botan," she replied. "A young man delivered it today. He said his name was...Kurama, I think." My skin pricked.

I soon discovered that under the radio was a simple note. All it said was, "Let it give us hope and strengthen our relationship". Tears slipped down my face, finally releasing the trapped emotions inside me. I listed once more.

"Oh can you see it baby

You don't have to close your eyes 'cause it's standing right before you All that you need will surely come."

All I knew Kurama was watching me.
