Chapter 2
Suddenly an overwhelming feeling of peace flooded her body and soul. Her fear disappeared and suddenly she found herself staring at a vast green field with trees scattered all over. The night was filled with dark, grey clouds full of rain.
Liu: " Oh, at least it can't get any worse."
A streak of lightning lit the sky and a heavy rainfall started.
Liu: " But when will I learn to shut my big mouth up!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
She ran to the opposite side of the field and saw a quite ordinary street
full of shops and houses. She was confused, this was so similar to where she came from. She walked up the street, finally finding some kind of shelter next to a shop. She stared at the empty street wondering what on Earth will she do to find her family or at least the people who Van called her family, Matsue...something. It was then she realised something important about herself, something she couldn't have possibly missed out but did. She ran her hand through her hair and realised it arrived up to her waist...probably even more as it was tight in a ponytail. She felt sort of weird and ... she couldn't explain the feeling, her glasses were gone and her eyesight was perfect. But something didn't change and she was really happy about it. A black and red bracelet was still tightly bound to her right wrist. She didn't know how she had had this bracelet in the first place but it had always been with her even before she could remember. A soft sound on her left brought her back on Earth.
A tall guy was standing next to her, probably searching for a shelter from the rain, as he was all wet. His digital wristwatch was the sole thing giving them light apart from the only street lamp in the corner of the street. It was 5:43 in the morning. What was he doing outside right now? Liu suddenly felt very uncomfortable and fear started spreading through her whole body. She looked at him, and with the little light received from the lamp she could make out his young face, tall, slim body and red hair. He looked at her and smiled softly. She was uncomfortable, her mind was picturing what a guy like him could do to a girl, lonely and who had no idea who she was and where she came from. This made her shiver slightly.
A car rushed passed and it illuminated them for a few seconds. Kurama saw the girl's face for he first time as she seemed to find the darkest shadows to hide in them. Her face was young and beautiful, large black eyes looked at his green ones making him get lost in their depths. Her long, light blue hair was all wet. She had her hands wrapped around her slim body and was shivering slightly because of the cold, night air. His stomach gave a funny jolt. This was strange, he had never felt this way before. No, he reminded himself, that was a lie. There was someone who made him feel like this, but she was gone forever. The remorse was unbearable, 3 years before he saw her getting sucked from a huge black hole. She had asked him to help her but he didn't manage to and he never saw her again.
His eyes never left hers and even after she turned round she could feel his gaze on her. She was afraid, terribly afraid. Then he spoke, his voice soft, educated, and almost enchanting.
Kurama: " have we met before?"
Liu: " I ...I ... don't think so."
He could hear her fear. Was she afraid of him? He didn't know but maybe if they talked for a while she'll calm down.
Kurama: " Are you sure? You look familiar to me."
Liu: " Really? probably you are mistaking me for someone else."
Her words were rushed as if she wanted to end this conversation as quickly as possible. She couldn't take this anymore, her heart was beating fast, her blood rushing through her veins. Liu looked at each side of the road trying to seek another place to shelter in, he made her uneasy especially his intense eyes looking at her.
Kurama was confused. This girl looked so much like...but that was impossible she couldn't have survived...and if she really did and this was her why hadn't she come before......and she didn't seem to recognise him which in itself was a good enough reason to stop his absurd suppositions. Something cold and wet trickled down his neck making him shiver. Rain was coming in, he moved away closer to the girl so as to avoid the cold droplets.
He moved closer to her and in that moment her nerves gave up. She was alone in an unknown world in the rain with a stranger next to her was already too much but him walking closer to her was the last drop. Without thinking she left the shelter and ran away wondering what will she do and where will she go now. Her mind was working overtime as she seemed to hear footsteps behind her, she looked back and saw the same tall redhead running after her. Fear flooded her entire being. What did he want from her? Maybe it was her fear or the panic of the moment, but without knowing what she was doing she turned round and punched him hard in his stomach. He fell on the street, coughing slightly. He looked up at her more amused than hurt.
Kurama: " You dropped this"
He held up his hand with a small red and black bracelet in it. She blushed furiously taking the bracelet from him.
Liu: " I ...I...am really sorry...oh god....are you hurt....sorry...sorry"
She helped him to stand up.
Kurama: " don't worry, but if this is the way you treat people who want to help you, I really don't want to know what you do to the ones who don't."
She smiled apologetically
Liu: " usually I'm not like this, it's just that right now everything and everyone looks scary. But thanks a lot, this bracelet means a lot to me. It is something that links me to my past."
They were right underneath the street lamp and she could see him well now. He looked gentle and sweet something she had missed out before.
He saw her holding the bracelet dearly to herself as if it was something priceless. Then a thought passed his mind.
Kurama: " Could I see that bracelet again, please?"
She was perplexed as she handed him back the bracelet.
He examined it closely as if he was trying to find something that others could not see.
Kurama: " I can't believe this!!!"
He stared at her bewildered. Both of them almost forgot the heavy rain falling on them.
Kurama: " So...it's you....after all this time...you came back....."
Liu: " what are you talking about??"
He held the bracelet in front of her face to make her see the two small letters at the bottom of it, 'KT' .
Liu: " it's no big deal I know they were there"
Kurama: " Can't you remember?"
Liu: " what should I remember?"
Kurama: " this"
And he showed her a kind of duplicate of her bracelet on his wrist.
Liu: " but how...."
She looked baffled at the undeniable proof.
Kurama: " I gave it to you when we were young."
Liu: " Look, I don't know you. And like I said before you must have mistaken me for someone else. Goodbye."
She turned to leave.
Kurama: "Takenaka"
This name...she had heard it before....yes, Van had told her that her real name was Takenaka Matsue. So this guy eventually knew her. She looked at him with a totally confused look.
