Chapter Four

Rireki Over Isuzu

---

Falling, falling.

All is fading to black around me.

Calling, calling.

I scream for you, but there is no sound.

Dreaming, dreaming.

This is my eternal night.

Why can't I wake from this dream? I don't want to see any of this. I am stuck, watching my past, seeing every moment, but not being able to a thing about it. Its like watching a movie of myself.

But its sickening.

I don't want to be Sohma Isuzu. I am Aso Rireki, soon to be Ikenoyama Rireki.

Why can't they leave me in peace? I just want to be with Kazahaya. Is that so wrong?

Kami-sama, no...

I see Kazahaya, waiting for me. Standing there, with open arms, ready to make everything alright. But as I try to run to him, someone wraps their arms around me, almost as if to say, 'don't go.'

Its Haru.

I try to get him to let me go, but it only makes him hold me tighter.

I fall again, into the black water.

Now, once again, I am alone.

Please, Kazahaya. Help me. Save me from those that would force me to remember. I don't want to go back. I want to be with only you.

"Kaza...haya..."
