Was my spelling really that bad? –nervous laugh- the funny thing about that is that I actually took the time to look over that chapter. And now I know never to do that again. But I do too use spell check! It just isn't a very good program but I'm sure it would scare the shit out of you guys if you saw one of my stories without spell check. Trust me, it would be horrible. Oh yeah and I'm changing something about Mikey. He's half Canadian.
Disclaimer- If you haven't caught on by now I suggest that you look back at my other chapters for this.
Kagurazaka looked in the mirror. He didn't even both to look at himself but he still acted like he did. He didn't want to go. His exact words had been, "When hell freezes over I'll go," when he had been asked by his classmate. Apparently hell was pretty cold right about then.
He didn't even know why anyone had even bothered to ask him to come. 'Probably feel bad for me.' He thought to himself grabbing his coat. 'I mean most of them do that now ever since what happened right after she left…'
He decided not to think any longer on the subject. He had tried so hard to just forget everything. And it was slowly starting to work. The whole that had been in his heart for so long was now starting to heal over. The fact that school was now finally over just meant that he could finally start a good life, become some one who was loved or at least had friends.
He had thought that he had, had that once. After everything was taken away he was left in darkness but then a light had appeared in the middle of his darkness. But then that was disappeared as soon as it had appeared.
He had looked all over for his missing light but it was just gone and he had a feeling it would never return, at least in the shape of Mizuki Ashiya again. He drove himself to the bar where he didn't want to be for a party he didn't want to go to.
He sighed stepping out of his car. A piece of junk it was but it was also all he could afford. He slammed the door hard hoping that the door would actually close for once. Alas he had no such luck.
He has park across the street from the bar and almost was run over a few times while still trying to shut his door. Finally he slammed the door with as much force as he could muster. It finally closed.
He walked into the bar that had been over decorated with his schools colors and saw no one else there. He looked down at his clock. It was 6:30, he was early. He walked over to the bar and sat down.
A cheery man came up to him from the other side of the counter and smiled. "You here for the party?" the bartender asked adjusting his backwards baseball hat. Kagurazaka nodded. "You're a bit early, aye? It's not for 15 minuets." He just shrugged.
He could feel as if someone was watching him and turned around. There was no one. He still felt as if someone was there watching him where he could not see them but he just shrugged the feeling off.
From behind the counter Mizuki sat in Mia's office which had a direct view of the whole place from a two way mirror. (Is that what they're called or are they one way?) He was sitting there helping Mia organize some paper work when someone entered the place and walked right into the bar.
She watched as Mikey came up to him and started a little conversation. Her friend was blocking the man's face but she could see him look behind himself as if looking for someone. Mia noticed the man as well.
"He must be the happy young graduate." She commented. From where she was sitting she would see him clearly. "Except he doesn't look so happy. I guess graduation is the time when they all think about what they're leaving behind after all those years."
Mizuki moved herself so she could see the man that Mia had addressed better. She tried not to gasp when she saw him. She knew that face! It was Kagurazaka. All this time she had made herself believe that he wouldn't come.
He looked different then before she noticed biting her lip. His hair was a bit longer and was really messy. He had bags under his eyes and whatever humor she had noticed in his eyes before were gone. He looked skinnier then before and no longer wore those sports labels all over himself as he once had.
He looked annoyed and irritated but most of all frightened. Something she had never seen in him before. 'Why is he scarred?' she asked herself. 'Is Mikey scarring him? That's not possible… Mikey's the friendliest person on earth. If that was Ann out there with him then I would understand but…' her thoughts were cut short by Mia who noticed her starring through the mirror with a passion.
"What's wrong Mizuki? Do you have a little crush on the Tokyo boy?" her boss teased but Mizuki missed the humor. She swallowed hard. "No, it's not like that!" she said a bit too defensively.
"What's wrong with you? What's up? Is this guy your friend or something?" "Or something is more like it." 'I don't even know why I called him a friend earlier. I mean he's the reason that… the reason that all these memories are coming back right now!'
She felt tears start to form but she fought them back. He wasn't going to cry because of him. Those days were over now. "Can I help you with these files later?" she asked getting up. "Sure Mize. But I would prefer if you didn't kill one of the graduates. All those years of school and finally there out only to meet there end by poor little Mize."
Mizuki threw a pillow at Mia and shut the blinds to her window before leaving the room. But she knew that the exact moment she left the room Mia ran up to the mirror in order to watch.
"Hey Mikey, Mia needs some help with the files in her office." Mizuki told him coming into view. Kagurazaka didn't look up at her when she stood right in front of him. Some people were no just starting to show up but he didn't pay attention to them either. He just played around with his drink that was half empty now.
"You need a refill?" she asked him but he just shook his head still not looking up. She was getting a bit annoyed at how he was not noticing her. Finally she just gave up and sat down on the stool next to him.
He looked at her right in the eye but didn't say anything or even made any notion that he recognized her. "Do you remember me?" she just came right out and asked him. She could see him smile at her.
"How can I forget? Wow I haven't seen you in a long time! You work here now?" he asked obviously happy to see her. She was surprised by his sudden happiness. "Yeah, for the past year now." He nodded, smile not going away.
"You always did like the booze, Yami." She just starred at him. 'Yami? Who the hell is Yami!' she was feeling a bit angry at him for mistaking her for someone else. "I'm not Yami."
He just starred at her for a moment. "Oh I'm sorry miss. I thought you were someone else." Her frustration grew. "Come on! How could you forget me?" she asked or more like yelled. His face showed a look of incomprehension.
She sighed taking some time to cool off. "It's me, Mizuki Ashiya." He frowned at her. "That's not funny." He started almost angrily. "Who asked you to say you were Mizuki? Was it Sano? That bastered! I'll…" she cut him off. "What are you talking about? What does Sano have to do with anything?"
"You can cut the act. This isn't a funny joke. You can stop acting now!" he looked like he was about to cry. "Kagurazaka…" she whispered feeling horrible for him. 'Why is he acting like this? Why does seeing him like this make me feel so bad?'
"This isn't a joke." She placed her hand on his arm in comfort but he jerked away from her touch. "It's really me, Mizuki Ashiya." He starred at her for a long time. She decided to help him with the visual and pulled her hair back so it looked a bit more it had back then.
She watched as he eyes grew wide. "Oh my god." He whispered so quietly that she almost didn't hear him. More people just came threw the door, there loud voices and merry chants filled the bar but in between Mizuki and Kagurazaka, there was no noise what so ever.
"Hey Mize!" Mikey yelled coming out from Mia's office where they had both secretly watched the two. He felt a bit odd coming between them but that had orders to fill. "Ann and Cho can't make it here, it's up to me you and Mia tonight." She nodded breaking the long gaze that she and Kagurazaka had been sharing.
"Okay, I'll be there in a second." When she looked back to her old friend he was already hurriedly going towards the door. "Kagurazaka!" she called but she feared that he did not hear her.
Then he stopped and turned around. There eyes met and he just shook his head. "You killed me." He didn't say the words or even mouth them but she knew that was what he was saying. She had killed him and didn't even know how.
She watched him leave the bar. She knew that if it was her leaving he would have followed but she stayed put. No matter what her body stayed still. She wanted to go after him. She wanted to scream at him. She wanted to cry with him. But she just stayed where she was starring at the door.
Finally she got up and walked behind the bar. Mia and Mikey looked at her as if they understood but the truth was they had no idea at what they had been watching. They didn't know who that man was or why he left so quickly.
Mizuki tried to avoid there looks of sympathy and concentrated on pouring drinks for everyone. But just and hour into the graduation party she broke down and couldn't stop the tears that were falling from her eyes with such intensity.
Mikey pulled her away from the bar and they both sat in Mia's office. He held her while they both sat on the couch. She buried her head into his chest. He was warm and comforting. Maybe she wasn't so well put together as she had thought.
I was going to put something important here but I can't remember, damn. Oh well. I got this book from the library and it looked good so I started to read it. Turns out it's this slutty book. My friend who sits next to me in science wants to read it. I never knew she was that much of a pervert. I stopped reading it but when I finish the other books I got ill probably still read it… just because I want to know what happens that is. Okay so please read and review!
