Upon seeing the cat, Fuji remembered when he had a cat himself….
"Kaa-san, can we buy that cat? It looks so cute…"
"Syuusuke, where are we gonna keep it? Our house is already full of cactus'…"
"To-san, please? Can we buy it? It looks so cute…"
Unable to resist the pleas of their older son, they bought the cat…
Fuji had named the cat after himself……Fuji…
But after a while, the cat died when ……
"Fuji, where are you? Fuji…" Fuji went out to look for his cat when he saw his cat being
chased by a bulldog. He ran after it and finally found Chibi Fuji…
It was bitten and mewed oh so softly…
Fuji ran home as fast as he could but found that Chibi Fuji had died upon reaching home…
He had cried and cried endlessly. His parents couldn't do anything to stop his crying…
After 3 days, he buried his cat in the garden.
Flashback end
Fuji's smile was gone as soon as it came when he saw Karupin. Chibi Fuji was buried right beside the rose bush…
"The rain seems like it won't end, right Karupin?"
Stroking Karupin's fur, he absent mindedly remembered that day when he started hating the rain…
Fuji and Yuuta's grandparents paid them a visit. So, Fuji's parents offered them a city tour as they came from Nagasaki…
"Obaachan, do I have any presents?" Both kids were anxious and excited as they unwrapped their presents in the car. Well, only Yuuta did because his present was wrapped.
"Obaachan, where's my present?" Fuji was disappointed as he had no present…
"Here, your cactus. This type is very rare. It's the last of its kind, you know? So take good care of it…" Fuji's grandma just smiled as she saw her older grandson admiring his cactus…
Fuji and Yuuta was asking their grandma and grandpa questions when……
Suddenly, there was a blinding light and then Fuji blacked out……
But, not before he heard his parents and grandparents telling him to get down…
After several moments, Fuji regained his consciousness. He felt something wet on his face. Scrunching his eyes, he realized that it was raining. It was drizzling…and yet…he heard noises. More like police sirens. He saw many policemen and an ambulance. He also saw a crowd of people surrounding them. He was going to find his parents and grandparents when he heard a lady saying… "Poor boys, not only did they lose their parents, but also their grandparents as well." He stood up and saw his mother, father and grandparents lying on the cement covered road. He ran over to them and shook them, hoping to see them move.
Unfortunately, they didn't move at all. Then, he spotted Yuuta. He was still unconscious.
Fuji immediantely ran and covered Yuuta's eyes.He turned Yuuta to face him instead of seeing that horrible sight. "Nii-san, where're we? Ouch! My head hurts… Where's Kaasan? To-san? Baachan? Jiichan?"
