Prologue: Bump and Trip to Fall
The Sakura tree sheds its beautiful blooms endlessly
One by one, slowly……steadily……silently……
Like sorrowful rain…… falling from the sky
Like the tears that I shed for you when you said goodbye
In a bench whose cracked green paint was peeling off, under a big old Sakura tree……a young man sits silently…… his head raised; focused at the forlorn falling blooms. His eyes surveyed them slowly…… his unshed tears at bay.
That day……
That day……
When you bid me farewell
The sharp pain I felt, I couldn't tell
The autumn winds softly blew his direction and his smooth silver looks swayed with its every howl; tainted memories started to flash uncontrollably in his head.
"It's getting cold…… wear this." A black haired guy in his teens said in a half-smile; removed his jet black jacket and gave it to the shivering nezumi.
"But Akito……" Yuki said in uncertainty.
"Take it……" The latter said; his tone raising a bit. "You're going to catch a cold if you don't……" He continued; now with his usual teasing tone that could bring chills to anyone that hears it.
"But Akito……how about you?" He said; reluctant to take the jacket from the older guy.
"I'll be fine……"
"But…….You'll get sick……"
"It's better for me to get sick than to see you suffer when you have another attack……" Akito said as he tried to place another smile on his pale face; tried to make the latter wear his jacket.
"Arigatou……" The nezumi said sheepishly.
"It's okay……Nandemonai……"
'Coz you've gone without looking back
You're reason; I still lack
And left me alone under the falling rain
Of my tears……and pain
"Akito……I'm cold……" The silver headed lad murmured…… "I need warmth……your warmth……I need soothing warm words…… your words……"He said as he withdrew his head from its current position and placed his slender hands over it; his silver hair covered them a little.
"I need you Akito……" He sobbed. "I need you……"
--Meanwhile—
(At a certain Noodle Shop)
"Be sure that you're going to deliver those on time or it's another deduction in your salary." An old woman said in a rather mocking tone. "Got that?!"
The orange-head at her immediate right glared at her. "Whatever……" He answered grumpily.
"And be sure you're not going to cause anymore problems while you're at it." The old woman continued. "Okay?"
Kyo rolled his eyes. "You've told me that since the first day I worked here." He shot angrily. "What do you take me for? An idiot?"
The obasan nodded.
"Temme!" The neko said in much rage; raised his tightly clenched fists towards her.
"Don't……" A monotone voice pierced to the intense atmosphere; unknown lad grabbing the neko's wrist firmly but gently.
The raged neko immediately turned around and looked at the person around him.
"Haru……" He said in a surprised but not glad tone.
"If you hit her……we will not have work and a roof over our heads again." Hatsuharu said calmly.
The neko hissed then composed himself again.
"……Just give me the address old hag……" He said grumpily.
The obasan glared at him then got a piece of paper on the counter. "One more offense Kyo Sohma and it's the dumpster for you two k?"
The neko rolled his eyes and harshly grabbed the note from her.
"I'll come with you……" Haru suggested with a bit of emotion in his voice.
"Don't come with me anymore……you're just be a burden." The orange-head said still in his grumpy tone as he turned his back on the latter.
"I will not be a burden……" Haru defended himself.
The orange-head turned his head. "You're going to be a burden Haru…… you're just going to get lost again and it will take me forever to find you……the deliveries will get cold by the time I'll find you." He said, his temper faltering a bit.
"I will not get lost……"
"Yes you will……"
"I'll not!"
"Yes you will……"
"I'm not……"
"YES YOU WILL!!!!!" Kyo ended their argument and went towards the fusuma when suddenly……
he received a hard blow on the back.
"Yap-yap-yap-yap……Why don't you just cut it already! Haru said angrily.
The neko turned around and shot an angrily look at Black Haru.
"Temme!" He said as he delivered a blow at him sending the white-head towards the counter.
"Ch…… I'm going……" He said pissed.
The neko went outside and closed the fusuma very hard.
"Well……well……" The obasan said over the counter. "I guess that's 500 ¥ for the counter 500¥ for the fusuma and 100¥ for hospital fees for Hatsuharu…… I guess they'll have to do without salary this month."
--Outside—
Kyo was riding his expensive mountain bike down the steep hill His mind wandered freely in the open; a fourth about the remaining days of advertising the bike so that he could really call it as his own, a fourth about his coming test, a fourth about what he just did to Haru and a fourth about a girl.
"Three days to go and this baby's mine!" He said happily in his mind.
"Where will I get my money for the coming mid-terms? I doubt I'll have salary this month thinking about damage I left after that brawl……hmmm……maybe someone will take pity on me and give me money or I'll just have to come up with something during my speech before the soccer tournament……sigh" The other fourth of his mind thought.
"I wonder if that stupid gaki is alright……hmmm……why should I care, it's his fault anyway." The other fourth thought.
"I wonder where she is know sigh"The last fourth thought.
He immediately shook of these thoughts of his as the road began to bend.
--Back at Yuki—
The wind was a bit calmer now and the sun is shinning harder……He knew it's time to go.
"No……just a bit more……" He said to himself as the last thread of his memories of Akito flashed bitterly before him.
--Back at Kyo—
"Now where was I supposed to deliver these things again?" Kyo said to himself glancing at the wooden noodle box before him.
He immediately brought out the piece of paper the obasan gave her earlier.
#114 Kazuma Compound
Nobuko Street, Kanazawa
Mr. Aki Toigami
"Oh what a cliché!" He thought. "I'm delivering at the old house my ex-girlfriend lived."
He paddled his bike in an irritated and somewhat sad pace.
"I told myself to never go near that place again……cause I didn't want to remember……" He said under his breath. "But it's inevitable…… and besides it has already been years……I think its time for me to move on."
He rode his bike faster towards the house. The road was a bit rocky and uneven but he didn't care. He paddled even faster as the road became steeper……but his pace suddenly slowed down……and eventually stopping……
The calm wind soon found its way towards him…… Cherry blossoms passed him silently……
"So it's still standing……"He thought as he looked at the big old Sakura tree…… "And to think we thought that that tree would die once our love will fade……"
"Chhhh……stupid……" He said angrily as he tried to shake his thoughts away and at the same time start to paddle his bike once again.
"Really stupid……" He repeated to himself.
The bike was gaining speed once again as he paddled while he stared blankly at the Sakura. Everything was going just fine when suddenly a shriek was heard.
Kyo immediately turned his head on the road.
"Woah!" He said in surprise as he saw a person on the road who he was about to bump.
He immediately maneuvered his bike so that he wouldn't hit the said man.
Just before he hit a tree……the bike thankfully stopped however because of the sudden events the noodles where not spared. Of course Kyo hasn't noticed it because he was much concerned about the person.
"Are you o……" His words were cut off when he suddenly tripped on something…… the noodle box.
"Ite!" He said he tried to pick himself up.
He slowly raised his head and was surprised at what he saw……violet orbs met his orange ones.
His heart skipped a beat then bet faster……he felt something he had felt before……the same feeling he had when he saw his ex-girlfriend for the very first time……he felt…… love.
"Watch where you're going baka……" The silver-head said to him coldly.
