Okay? I just got the radio part. . . geez, I haven't even watch it yet.
Under the Same Sky
"--After all we're still under the same sky. . ."
CHAPTER 2: Yesterday's Mirage
It's been awhile since I could look straight into my own reflection. And it's been awhile since I last saw this place. Without a doubt, I'll always end up going in here after such long, long time. I know I'll end up here . . . eventually . . .

He scrutinizes the poor old radiophone as it speaks once more. "H-He-Hello? Anyone there?" the girlish voice came again. He presses the red button much harder and he speak at last. "Yeah, who is this again?" came his reply holding onto the phone more tightly.
"Sakura- my name is Sakura. How about you?" the childish voice said again. "Me? I---well I'm—wolf" he heard the girl giggled as he said those. "Is that your real name? It's a weird for a name but I like it! Wolf, wolves are cute!"
"What's your point anyway? And why are we starting this conversation in the first place?" came his annoyed reply. HE wasn't the type of person to have jokes with, and that was terribly irritating him yet---something is beyond this chat that makes him so—kinda into it.
There was a long silence and it came to him, the girl might have been scared to him. "I'm sorry, I just don't like people calling me cute. You haven't even seen me yet." And from there he earned a laugh from the other side.
"O-kay, well we could call each other friends right?" Sakura asked. "Friends?"
"Yes, Friends. Might as well give some information about each other ne? Hmm . . . Let's see I'll start. I'm seven years old and currently studying at Tomoeda elementary school!" she mentioned sounding so cheerful. "Seven? You don't sound like a seven year old to me." He replied raising a brow. "People always say that to even mother, they say I'm gifted and that I'm lucky to be one."
"Alright I get the point. But wait did you just say Tomoeda? I live in Tomoeda, well actually—moved in just days ago." He stated as he descended to the soft bed. "Really so you're new here. Wow! That is so amazing maybe we could meet tomorrow at the elementary school gate! You agree?" he looked hesitant for a moment then sighed. "Sure, there isn't much thing to do anyway so what time?" he asked.
"How about 3:00 p.m.? That is when our classes ends. I'll wear my cute pink bunny hat so you'll know it's me." She cheerfully announced. "This is so crazy, you should know this since you're gifted child. What if I'm a kidnapper? Don't you think I'm too old to be your friend? I'm 25 years old for kami's sake!" he asked but there came her reply so quickly. "I'm sure about it! Friendship doesn't require one of having the same age to be friends, it all comes in the heart." With that no words came from his mouth. "Oh! I need to go! Remember 3 at the school gate bye!" and there he goes staring into thin air.
'Friendship doesn't require one of having the same age to be friends, it all comes in the heart.' Her statement repeated on his mind. Where did he hear that again?

And it's been awhile since I saw you . . . And it's been awhile since I let my tears start to fall like this. Surely it's been awhile . . .
The cold drops of rain fell harder onto her black umbrella. Her amethyst eyes sparkle brightly through the grimly painted night. She looked down at the tombstone reading the inscribed epitaph.
'—She breathes like the breeze, took life as a friend, but life has been just too harsh, and there she goes dreaming--thinking it wouldn't cost a thing--'
I cannot walk away from yesterday, and I know it's been so long since I see you laughing. And I know it' been awhile since I last say sorry. I know it's been awhile . . .
~*~
The next day was different from yesterday's crying sky or so he thought it began to pour rain when he's halfway down to his destination. He knew how stupid he could be as his heart beat so much faster just by a simple chat on an old radiophone with someone who was one-fourth of his age.
He walked too peacefully as his feet take him to the gates full of children. He shoved his unruly brown hair and leaned his back onto the wall beside the school gate. Every student seems to have left the campus but he's eyes wander around looking for a little girl wearing pink bunny hat.
Heavy drops of rain collided loudly with the garbage can alongside him. He swallowed the lump forming on his throat as he closed his eyes. Rain pours down on his cheeks rapidly.
He opened his eyes as he felt the raindrops stops from falling down on his skin. There her amethyst eyes look up to him, pale hands holding the black umbrella that was preventing rain to pour down his already soaked body. She smiled sadly at him.
~*~
And I know it's been awhile since I last saw him too, and it's been so long ever since I hear your voice. But I know I could still remember your face.
And I think I know what this could mean; too bad she's just a yesterday's mirage . . .
And the rain never stop, it
continues to fall from everyone's life. And we hope for a promising years to
come. Because we know it's been too long to carry these entire burden. The darker the sky becomes, the more tired my heart becomes
I saw your face, listened to your
unvoiced pledge
At that moment I discovered
That one day I walked past you and didn't
catch your gaze
For you're looking back at yesterday's mirage . . .

A.N.: What can I say this is so angsty ne? well that's my goal anyway. I'm not really sure about all of the things happening in this story it just came to me naturally. So anyone know who the mysterious character is? It's so easy! Haha Tell me any comments or suggestion please? I would love to hear it. And of course things are still left in the shadow but I couldn't just put it down so quickly right? Well. . . I think everybody should review once they read this okay?
