A/N: Reki has a sister. Please don't be mad! Heheheheheh... well, here goes...
Prologue:
A little girl slept, on the cold, icy ground. Waiting for someone, someone to accept her. Was she that different? Why didn't anyone accept her? Why didn't anyone care for her? Would she be this way forever? Would she? Would she ever see the sunrise again? Would she ever hear the cheerful birds sing again? Would she ever see the daylight again?
A little boy walked up to her. He stretched his arm out for her. But the little girl still slept. She completely ignored him. Hot tears streamed down the boy's face.
"Why? Do you really hate me? I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." the boy pleaded. The girl still shut him out of her mind. Tears fell to the ground. "Please... forgive me... I'm so sorry..." The girl slowly sat up. Angel feathers flew about her and wings bore from her back. However, after a while, the wings became darker and darker.
"I'm sorry..."
The little girl stood up and walked to the boy. Tears covered her face. Then, she slapped him and left without another noise.
"I will never forgive you..." the girl echoed. He had never felt so much pain before. The boy's legs became too weak to support him. He sank to the ground. His cold hands touched his cheek. His whole body shook and he cried. The boy whimpered and laid on the ground.
"I've always wondered why... Why won't my tears stop?"
-in The World-
Reki laid down his book and stared out into the sky.
"I'm so stupid. I can't believe I still remember that. It was so long ago..." He said. The boy laughed and hid his face in his hands. A stream of tears ran down his cheek. No! I can't be crying! Then he whispered, "Please... forgive me..."
A/N: I'm sorry! It was very short! Shorter than I expected! It's bad! Just please don't flame me! Thank you for wasting precious minutes in reading my story!
