Chapter 2 : Memories from the Past
(11 years ago )
I really want to stood up right now , but my head were dizzy . Surely Hijikata-san had hit me with his bokken , perfectly in my shoulder . And it pains me a lot , it really feels like my shoulder being weighed by a ton of steel .
"Nii-san , Are you okay ? " a young girl asked me
"Yes , I think I'm fine . " I said trying to avoided the worry ness in her eyes
"How can you say you're fine , if Too-san was the one who directly hit you ? " she asked again
"That's fine with me . " I chuckled slightly , when suddenly she kissed my forehead
"Kaa-san always do that to me , whenever I'm felling sad . " she said smiling as rubbed my forehead
"Thank you . " I said before drifted to sleep
There's only one thing that I remember that time , her soft hand that reminds me of my mother . It's feel like she can give peacefulness into my heart , that was the thing I remembered at that time .
We were become friends after that , I never asked her name and so she is . She's just call me Onii-san , without knowing my name . It's seemed very strange we were friends but no one knows the other's name .And so time seems to pass with full of happiness in that two years of friendship , but only a tragic end that waited in the road .
I remember the accident happen two years after that , from that cheerful eyes , tears falling down on her cheek . That day , the rain fall down heavily without any mercy when the funeral of her mother . That time , she can't stop crying , tears keep on falling down to her pale cheek . That time I can't do anything like what she had already done to me , I can't stand beside him when she needed me , I can't be the shoulder where she can cry , and I also can't give him happiness . All that I can do is only standing in here and doing nothing , just worrying about him .
The next day I woke up , there isn't her face that smiled to me every morning when I awake . And there isn't her innocence smile . And she had already gone away , just like the water that evaporate because the sunlight . And the day was flowing again , until that day , 6 years after she gone .
"Souji , I hope you can accompany our guest . " Hijikata-san told me
"I understand ." I replied as I carrying my pig
And in the gate , she was the one that waited in there . Smiling softly when she see me . She hasn't changed a lot , except the fact that she was older . But I really known that smile and that eyes that show happiness . It was him , standing right there holding a cat in her hand .
"Onii-chan , we met again . " she said smiled softly
"Just call me Souji ." I replied
"Then , just call me Sakura . Well it's really does destiny that had already bound us together . " she said
"I guess so , Do you want to go inside ?" I asked again
"With pleasure Sou-chan . " she chuckled slightly
Now , 1 years passed when I met her again in Shinsengumi . And I never feel losing her smile again . Some people told me when we get to get something that we want , we must never let it go . And so do I , I will never loose her smile again .
A/n I'm trying to give this chapter softer than the first . But a little sadness will be appeared again in the 3rd chapter !
