I try to run away……………
I want to forget everything I know…………………..
But you were always there to catch me and remind me………………..
I'm in such a harsh reality…………………………..
These thoughts ran through Fuji's mind as she ran through the crowd. Away from Saeki. Away from Kunishiro. But most of all, away from Tezuka. She could hear Saeki yelling out to her to stop. She could hear her little son trying to catch her but she couldn't hear the voice of the one she wanted to hear.
She finally stopped. For some reason, Fuji's feet has brought her to the Oishi residence. She needed to hide, fast! She rang the door bell a number of times before her best friend, Eiji opened it.
'Syusuke! What!' Eiji asked before she was pushed into the house and Fuji slammed the door. Eiji became worried when she saw Fuji's face filled with fear and pain. 'Syusuke.' Eiji whispered to comfort her. She was greeted by her friend's shaking hands pulling her face down. 'Tell them I'm not here! Please, I beg of you! Tell them I'm not here!' Fuji's voice was shaky and terrified.
Eiji looked at Fuji worriedly. She quickly led her to the master bedroom and told Fuji to lock it and whatever happens, don't open the door unless the code word is said. Before closing the door, Eiji turned and look at Fuji. Fuji sat there eyes empty. 'She's sitting there like a broken doll.' Eiji thought sadly as she quietly closed the door and locked it.
After a few minutes, the door bell rang. When Eiji opened the door, Saeki and Tezuka rushed in. 'Saeki? Tezuka? What?' Eiji started before interrupted by Tezuka. 'Where's Fuji? Please tell me where she is?' Tezuka asked urgently. He wanted to apologize. He wanted Fuji back. 'She's not here!' Eiji said firmly but her expression betrayed her. 'Eiji, please tell us where she is?' Saeki pleaded.
'DADDY! Help me!' a childish voice cried from outside. Fuji's eyes returned to live and Tezuka turned to the open door. 'Kunishiro!' Fuji and Tezuka whispered before Fuji went to look out of the window and Tezuka rushed out of the door.
Kunishiro was outside trying his best not to let the robber take his wallet. Tezuka punched the robber square in the face. The robber landed 2 metres away due to the force of the punch. 'Are you all right?' Tezuka asked his son. Kunishiro nodded dumbly before hugging his father. Just then, the robber took out a knife from his pocket and rushed out at Tezuka.
'Tezuka!' Eiji yelled.
'Watch out!' Saeki ran out of the house.
Tezuka shielded his son from the knife coming his way when just in the flash of light.
'Kunimitsu! Kunishiro!'
Tezuka heard the knife plunged into something. He turned and to his horror, the knife had driven through Fuji's chest, into the place where the heart was supposed to be. Her blood. Her crimson red blood was splattered onto Tezuka and Kunishiro.
The robber, shocked, pulled the knife out of her body, dropped it and ran. 'Hey you!' Saeki ran after the robber while Eiji went over to Fuji. 'Syusuke! Syusuke!' Tezuka shook Fuji in order to keep her awake. Eiji ran back into the house to call the ambulance. 'Mummy?' Kunishiro whose face was covered with droplets of blood shook his mother gently.
Just then, Fuji grabbed hold of Tezuka's collar and kissed him deeply. Tezuka was shocked not only by the kiss, but the taste of blood in her mouth. She pulled away and smiled, tears flowing out of her eyes. 'Take care, Tezuka. I'm sorry I couldn't be perfect for you. Please take care of Kunishiro for me. Please?' she said softly as a trail of blood flowed out of her mouth. 'Syusuke hang in there! You can't die! Not now!' For the first time in Tezuka's life, his face showed sadness.
'Mummy?' the little Tezuka shook his mother. Fuji gathered her last bit of energy and kissed Kunishiro's forehead. Blood dripped onto his little forehead. 'Mummy has to go now. Be a good boy when mummy's gone. Listen to Daddy ok?' The little boy nodded dumbly, not knowing what was going to happen to his mother. 'Kunimitsu, It's getting colder and darker, please hold me tight? It's freezing and I'm tired…………….' Fuji trailed off and her hand dropped lifeless onto the ground while tears fell from Tezuka's eyes.
11 years later…………………………
A 14 years old teenage boy with ocean blue eyes and ruly hazel hair walked into the silent cemetery. He walked into the cemetery as if it was home. He finally reached the grave that he had come everyday. 'Tezuka-Fuji Syusuke. 1985-2007. Missed dearly by all loved ones. May she find peace in the Heavens above.' 'Hi Mother.' Kunishiro greeted the grave before setting down a bunch of cherry blossoms and sat in front of the grave.
'I'm back from the Nationals. We went through tough competitions but we came in first. Isn't it great? Dad's doing well at work. He also tries his best to be there for me. Aunt Eiji and Uncle Syuichiro also come over to visit with their kids, Syuuji and Eiko. Uncle Saeki comes over sometimes too. Inui and his wife come along but I always feel uncomfortable due to the juices he brings. Dad wanted to come today but he suddenly had a meeting to go to. I'm here on his behalf. We really miss you a lot after that incident.'
Kunishiro got up and kissed the gravestone. 'I have to go now, Dad and I will be back tomorrow. See you.' Kunishiro smiled a small smile before walikg away from the grave yard.
As he walked, he was unaware that a familiar figure was sitting on the gravestone he just kissed. She smiled and before standing up, she said in a soft voice, 'See you, Kunishiro and thank you for coming. I'll be there for you and your father always.' Fuji spread her white angel wings and flew back to Heaven with her sons cherry blossoms in her hands.
Even though I'm not alive
Even though we can't see each other anymore
Just remember
I'll always be there for both of you.
Fuji Syusuke
Fuji-Chan: Yes it was short but I had to end it. Also the 'Lover of Sin' and 'Oh my Nekojin' will be updated as soon as I can. The new school year was tough. I heard the prince of tennis only ended its first season. Is that true? Any way, see you at my other fics!
