Well, one thing I did forget to explain was the meaning of the titles behind my other fic. Simple "You desire to be with some one, yet you are deprived from having this person so you can not but help missing/loving her" meh, this one is somewhat easy to figure out...okie, to me it is...cuz I wrote it in all XD. "You see your childhood friend and they're near you after so long...yet...something slowly keeps you farther away from eachother.

Prolouge: My Childhood Memories
"hee hee, Aki-kun, come chase me!"
A young girl about three years old with light reddish-brown hair and light brown eyes ran around inside of the Aka Tatsu's office building. Her red hair waved back and forth as she ran down the somewhat endless hallways of the huge building; trying to lose her persuer.
"No fair Rei-Rei, your too fast!"
Not to far behind the red head, another youth was shortly following; this time, it was a boy. He had dark brown eyes and black, short, messy hair.
"Well, it's not my fault your too slow akira...hee hee..."
"Hey! You there! What do you think your doing?"
The two stopped and looked up to see to see one of the Azuma Hanto yakuza standing over them. The two froze the second that he gave them a somewhat evil look.
"Uh-oh...were in trouble Aki..." Rei gulped.
"Rei!"
Rei turned around then saw Gum standing there along with Keiji and Kenji; wearing a black kimono with her hair pulled into a bun. In her right hand, she held her black katana with cherry blossom flower designs on it. (Okie..now u obviously kno I watch to much Kill Bill...XD) She nodded her head at the guard, telling him that he could leave now. He bowed his head and left.
"Um...Hi mommy!" Rei said in a quick, innocent tone while Akira was behind her the whole time she spoke.
"Rei...you know how daddy told you to stay outside with mommy today while he has a meeting with the other leaders from other yakuza gangs." Gum sighed.
"I'm sorry mommy, it was an accident..."
Gum knelt down infront of Rei. "Now Rei, next time you know better not to come in while daddy's busy. You'll stay outside with Akira until he's done, okay?"
"Okay mommy..."
Gum smiled then patted Rei on the head and took her hand.
"Now, let's go back outside while daddy in his meeting."
Rei then grabbed Akira's hand and then they made their way to the sliding doors that connected the building with the garden outside.
&&&
"You can't catch me Aki-kun! nyah!" Rei stuck her tongue out at the boy that was close behind her.
"Ooohh...wait 'til I catch up! then you'll be..." Akira caught up to Rei and slapped her back "...IT!"
A few feet away, was Gum, watching from where she sat on the shaded part of the deck that was laid out before the sliding doors, sipping on some tea. She could not help by smile at the two children infront of her, laughing and being energetic. Nearby were Keiji and Kenji as well as a few other guards, keeping close watch on everyone in the area, and building.
"Oww...hey, that hurt! didn't your mommy ever tell you not to hit girls?"
Akira just laughed and continued to run as if he was running for his life. The two continued to play and play until...
"Mr. Akira sir, your father wants you to go now." A guard from the Satsugai yakuza gang exclaimed, pointing to a car with a man about 5"10' with dark brown eyes, spiked, jet black hair with hints of red in it, standing near the car.
"Oh..." Turning around sadly Akira looked at Rei with a sad look.
"I have to go Rei..."
Rei looked at Akira with a puzzled look.
"But you'll be back to play again soon right?"
Akira just looked down, shaking his head.
"I...don't know...my dad says that I have to stay at home for awhile...to train and learn how to become a yakuza like him...I don't know when I'll be back Rei-chan..." Akira then turned around, heading towards the car.
"Wait! Aki!"
He turned around and saw Rei hold something out to him.
"Here, I want you to have this. Please keep it with you, so you'll always have something to remind you of me...incase you forget or don't come back for awhile." Rei held out a small hairclip that looked like something a geisha girl would wear with her kimono. Extending his arm out, he took the hairclip and put it in his pocket.
"Thanks Rei-chan, but I have nothing to offer back to-"
It was then Rei hugged Akira and kissed him slightly on the cheek. A faint blush spread across Akira's face as Rei backed away.
"It's okay Aki, I won't forget you!"
He looked back at Rei then turned back to the car and got in. From inside the car, Akira waved at Rei, tears threatening to fall with each passing moment they got farther from the building. Rei waved as the car disapeared from sight. From the deck, Gum watched as Rei stopped waving and sat under a cherry blossom tree, picking the flowers that fell onto the ground.
&&&
"Is she okay ?"
Gum turned around to see Beat standing over her, looking out to Rei who sat picking the flowers off the ground. She shook her head.
"I'm not to sure...something tells me that she'll have quite a lot of troubles in her teen years...like when we were young...but hopefully not as horrible"
Beat held her close as Gum hugged him, stroking her hair telling her that there was no need to remember the past. The sad horrible day that happend today, three years before. They sat together in slience as they watched Rei sitting under the cherry blossom tree.
&&&
Staring at the flowers with a blank expression, Rei's mind flooded with thoughts about the future. Her mother explained what happend on that day in mid April, how Matsumoto was killed by her father and then later on figuring out the death of Taro. Her mom also explained why this all happend and what the reason it was for. She felt better that it wasn't on purpose that her dad wanted to do it, but she felt scared and alone for thoughts that flew through her mind, about what might end up happening when she turned seventeen and how she'd probably have to go through the same things her parents did three years ago. She shook the attacking thoughts from her head and stared down at the cherry blossom petals.
"Aki-kun..."
