Chapter 2

The next day as I was walking out of my house, I couldn't stop think about the boy. That scene that happened yesterday kept going over again and again in my mind. I was trying to place his face because it seemed so familiar to me but the question was why it seemed so familiar. I have never seen that face before unless I have but I didn't remember. After a while I decided that I had more important things to do so I crossed the street and went into the park opposite. As soon as I walked in through the park gates I saw some families having a picnic underneath a cherry blossom tree and I saw some boys and girls at about age from my school playing football.

As I looked around everything seemed normal but then I saw him again but he was under a cherry blossom tree and as usual he was watching me again. I decided to ignore him because I didn't want to remember what happened yesterday again for today so I continued walk along the ponds edge. He was still looking at me but he seemed concerned because the look on his face was well expressed to show he was ready for any danger that could approach me at anytime.

The boy saw the group of footballers still playing their game, a girl managed to get the ball and strike for a goal but unfortunately it bounced off the top pole and flew in the opposite direction. The boy continued watching the ball fly through the sky but he moved towards me when I wasn't looking and he shouted as loud as he could,

"Watch out!!!"

I turned around and the ball smacked me right in the face and I lost my balanced and fell in the pond. When I landed in the pond I banged my head on a stone that was at the bottom of the pond. My eyes started to get very heavy and I blacked out again but the last thing I saw was the boy swimming towards me. While I was knocked out, the boy swam down to the bottom where I was lying. He picked me up from the surface below and swam up before he ran out of air. He got a good grip of me and swam to the edge of the pond. He managed to reach it in good timing because I was knocked out and I was in desperation for air. He laid me down flat on my back a crowd start to gather. He said in a protective voice,

"Stand back!!! I'm going to perform C.P.R on this girl!!"

Everyone stood back a fair distance and let him do what he had to do in order to save my life. He lent forward, took a deep breath, put his lips on mine and breathed in the air that he had taken in for me to be able to survive. He did this five times as you would when doing so and he lent back up and done ten chest pressures to me. He checked my pulse on my neck to see if it was successful, no sign of a pulse. He did the same thing again people started to get very concerned and one said in a worried tone,

"I'll call an ambulance!"

As he finished giving air he rise up and he said very quickly before the person left,

"No! Don't do it yet until I have at least done it another two times then call for an ambulance"

He nodded and let him continue saving my life. He did more chest pressures and checked the pulse again; there was no sign of a pulse again. He did it again; he was determined to not give up. He checked the pulse again; there was still no pulse before he started again he pleaded,

"Please don't give up me because I would never give up on you!"

He did it again but this time on the fourth breath I coughed up the pond water and he was still over me. He seemed very relieved and the people were relieved and some of the crowd then started to go back to what they were doing before the incident. I sat up and he moved back away from me, he looked down at the floor and blushed very gently. He asked,

"Are you ok because that was a nasty fall?"

I thought about it and I replied with,

"Yes, I'm fine."

It went quiet between us and to break the silence he said casually,

"My name is Inuyasha! What is your name again?"

I was dumbstruck and I felt like I forgot my name and I started to say,

"My name is............ My name is............"

He interrupted with,

"Your name is........."

I snapped out of this dumbness and finally came out with,

"Claire!!! My. Name is. Claire!"

I smiled, blushed and sweatdroped with embarrassment because I sound like a dumbstruck robot. He smiled, blushed and he asked embarrassingly,

"Do you wanna? I don't know......... Get a sundae or something?"

I looked at him like people would when you were in love, I quickly snapped out of it before he noticed and I replied while blushing,

"Sure, that's sound good to me, Inuyasha."

He helped me up and we walked out of the park and head down the road to the sundae café. I could help but wonder why he said what was my name again even though we haven't even been introduced properly yet.
