'…..come on Touya-nii! Come play with me!'

'Awww, come on, you know I'm not you're big brother…'

' I know, but you're older, I like being with you, and you're always around when I'm lonely. Sounds like a big brother to me!'

'…..race ya to the swings, Botan-chan!'

'Kay, but first I have to show you something.'

The wind rustled through Botan's hair as she sat on the swings reminiscing on her childhood. It was a beautiful summer day, not a cloud in the sky, an ever so slight breeze, and only a few people were outside. The day was calm, but Botan just had too much on her mind to pay attention to the serenity of it all.

As she sat on the swing, Botan tried to figure out why she'd all of the sudden started thinking about the past. She started wondering how Touya was doing, if he even remembered her, or the promise they'd made to each other. God knows they haven't talked to each other since they were in high school. That was a few years back. All these questions started popping up in her head, and her head started to hurt. Slowly getting off the swing, avoiding getting a head rush, she made her way back to her apartment.

'Where are you taking me?'

'It's a surprise. Close your eyes!'

'Kay.'

'We're almost there…almost…. Kay, open your eyes! Isn't it pwetty Touya-nii'

'It's very pretty Botan-chan…'

'It's a pwetty field of peonies! Just like my name!'

Touya found himself laying in a field of peonies….the same one from his childhood. For some reason, for the past few days, he comes down here and picks a single peony, twirls it between his fingers, takes it home, and puts it in a vase of ice cold water. Botan has recently been the thoughts that cloud Touya's mind, and he couldn't figure out why. Ever since he moved back to the neighborhood he and Botan grew up in, he couldn't help but come down to this secret field of peonies everyday. They almost made him feel as if she were there, lying right beside him. After all these years, he still remembered the promise they made, and he still intended to keep it.
->->->->->->->

'Don't go Touya-kun.'

'I'll only be gone for a few years, I promise.'

'I'm going to hold you to it, and if you don't keep it, I'll hunt you down!

'Stop worrying, I'll be fine…..and I won't forget you.'

'You better not!… I love you Touya-kun…goodbye…'

'I love you too, Botan, see you in a few years.'

Now, it's a few years later……….

Well, how bad did that suck? Any ways, I don't care. I think I'll continue to write it, depends on the reviews I get. Who knows, someone might actually want me to continue with it. See ya in the next chapter, if there's going to be a next chapter…..
