Early the morning…
I woke up around 6:00 that morning, I guess sleeping that early made me wake up as early. Kai and Lillie were there also. I smiled, I thought they wouldn't even sleep in the same room after what they had heard, but nonetheless they were there and there was nothing I could do. I got up as quietly as I can, Kai moved a little as I did this, which gave me suspicion, that he really was awake, and as I suspected he was awake, but I didn't know then. When I walked downstairs breakfast was there…Wow, these guys wake up early, I thought. When I sat down, the food just looked like it had just been made. Grandfather wasn't there. I wondered he had been lately. But for some reason, I really didn't care. When I was done, I decided that day, that I would go to the Plaque in honor of my mom for the morning.
While walking through the garden…
I heard something behind me. I looked behind and me and I saw Kai. "Kai! What are you doing here?" "Same thing you are." "Um, ok." We walked the rest of the way in silence. We both thought of the same thing, our mom. I can barely remember her smile, but still, I loved her, I think Kai did too, she kept saying I just looked like her. When we got there, Kai broke the silence, and I thought he was the silent type. "Kayuri?" "Yeah?" "I was wondering, do you want to go to the Asian Tournament?" "Of course!" "What about your team?" "Oh, yeah…" I had already forgotten about recruiting a team for the upcoming tournament! I still needed 2 more team members. "You know what, Kayuri?" "What?" "Ray's has a sister who has been wanting to go on a team lately. I think her name was Cherry." "Awesome! Think you can ask Ray for me?" "Sure, no problem." "Let's see, Mark, Cherry, Me. Three people on the Kawaii Kitsunez Beyblade team, just one more. Do you think Lillie wants to join?" "Maybe, how should I know?" "Oh, well. I'll just ask her later…" We sat down at the bench next a bush of white roses. "Hey, Kai…about last night." He didn't respond, I could tell he was deep in thought, so I didn't continue…and we sat there for about another 20 minutes till I finally got up and followed and we walked home…
Not only until we got in our room…
Kai sat on his bed and mentioned for to sit next to him. So I did. "Retsuko, our mom. She looks a lot like you." "You told me how many times already." "Yeah, but I can't but look at you, and when I do, I see her." I only smiled, I knew nothing to say at such a remark. "Kayuri, I don't want you to leave again." "I'm sorry Kai, but if I have to, I have to. But I'll only go if it's only necessary, I promise." He smiled too. Seeing him smile was the best thing ever, it made me so happy, I was just reliving a memory that I had almost forgotten… when we were younger he used to smile a lot more, it was a just a memory lost to time…but now as he was smiling at me, something tells me that we'll have a lot more memories we can remember if we were just a little bit closer, but as we remember these memories, I feel that we are getting farther and farther apart. But none of that mattered, not now. As long as we were together for a short time, and said goodbye in the end, at least we had this memory to remember as long as we both live, and I'm sure I won't forget it.
