Chapter 4 : Forgotten Pain

I was trapped.

Scorching hot fire all around me. No way to escape, and only one solution.

Death.

Was that really all that was left? Was there truly no possible way to get out? Is it only death that really awaits me?

That is how I must of felt. Trapped, and useless. There really was no way to get out of here. It was the truth most people didn't want to accept, but I did. I accepted what was there, and in return I have found out the truth.

...but what if the truth that I have found, is a lie?

"You.." Natsuki snapped back to reality and remembered what she was doing. She was holding HIM. She couldn't believe herself. She couldn't believe any of this.

"I..." She shoved the boy away and backed away slowly. Inch by inch she stepped backwards trying to get away, but she knew she couldn't. "I...".

"Your his--"

"Go away!" yelled Natsuki. With one final step back, she sprinted off. On the ground, Kai sat. He remembered something, something so small, and so insignificant to him. Love.

"Something," Kai closed his eyes and buried his face in his hands. "If only I could remember." He removed his hands from his face and used them to push him up from the ground.

"Your his... Your my..." Repeating his sentence once more he stood confused.

His image reflected off the crystal ball in the dark room. A finger traced his figure on the ball slowly, dragging its nails across with it.

"It's o.k my little boy... The time will soon come when you will remember everything. Everything..." A womans face was pressed against the crystal as she slowly started to pet the ball. A small purple aura was emitting from the crystal ball swiftly swirling around everything in its reach.

"Nina will make everything better soon little Kai. All of your worries will soon disappear... once I get my hands on that precious gem of hers." She took her face off the crystal and looked at Kai's figure once more before the ball changed its scene.

"Poor Natsuki..." Nina's lips curled into a smile as she watched the person in the ball running. "Everything that you know is a lie."

Her legs carried her as far as she could go before she collapsed onto forest grass. Natsuki wanted to get away from him. She couldn't bear to even look at him anymore, and every time she did her heart would pound insanely fast, and her mind would be clouded with thoughts pouring in at all directions.

It really hurts.

Why won't this pain go away? This pain in my chest.

It hurts!

"Natsuki," She shot up from the ground looking around her in all directions.

"Who's there?"

"You don't remember the pain, do you?" It rang in her head this time. "You don't remember his pain either, do you?"

Natsuki was confused. She didn't know who was talking to her. It was scaring her, and the forest was too quiet.

"You don't remember the pain at all, because I was the one who took your suffering upon myself..."

"... and it really does hurt."

Slowly she started to recognize the voice. It was the voice of somebody who she had forgotten. Forgotten when she had ended her conversation with her.

"Juri?" Pain shot through her head as Natsuki fell back to the ground.

"In this world, there is only your pain and suffering. Beyond your mind is a world where one cannot describe, but in here you will only see your mirrors of your past. Break one, and it will disappear from you."

Natsuki scanned around her looking at hundreds of mirrors. They all reflected her image, just like a normal mirror.

"Listen."

Thats when she heard the shattering noise behind her. Natsuki turned around to see flying shards of glass coming at her.

"Your past is already broken," Beside her was none other than Juri. She picked up a couple of the broken shards and held them out in front of Natsuki.

"I--" Natsuki mouthed a couple words before she brought her hands up to her neck.

"You cannot talk here," Juri walked past Natsuki and touched a mirror. "Such terrible memories I have had to take upon myself." She stopped touching the mirror and turned around glaring at Natsuki.

"And its all your fault."

Her eyes snapped back open to face the darkening sky. Little speckles of light started to form in the dark sky. They glimmered and gleamed even brighter as the sky grew darker. The wind rustled the trees making them sway slightly. She was exhausted and her muscles had quit on her making it so she couldn't move. Every inch of her body was sore and her body had started to go numb.

"I've found you."

Natsuki's eyes widened when she heard a voice. It was HIS voice. Her heart started racing, and pain started shooting at her head. This was all because of him.

Kai had finally found her. He had so many questions that he wanted answered, and he knew the girl had them all. So he had ran after her a few moments after she had run away from him. She was hiding something from him, yes, that is what he thought.

"Who are you?" His voice was cold and demanding and it only made the pain in her head worse. She forced her hands to move as she clutched her head tightly.

"Make it go away! Go away!" She screamed at Kai's presence. His shadow that was casted down on her figure danced as the tree's swayed away and towards the moon. It started to scare her even more as his shadow disappeared and reappeared.

"It hurts!"

"It really does hurt, doesn't it?"

Natsuki stopped screaming and laid petrified.

"Kai, I love you!" A red headed girl wrapped her arms around a two-toned haired boy.

"I love you too Natsuki." He smiled at the girl as she laughed slightly.

"I wish this would last forever."

"Nothing lasts forever Natsuki..."

"I know! But still..."

"Then I promise nothing will tear us away from each other."

Rain pelted down onto the stone ground.

"Natsuki!"

He was calling out to me...

"Hurry up and take the flames out!" He snapped at the firefighters who were rushing to get their hoses.

Flames.

"Natsuki!"

Tears started flowing down Natsuki's cheek as she stood up facing Kai. She started advancing towards him.

"Kai... this pain," He stared at Natsuki coldly and confused. She was right in front of him now, clutching his shirt. Kai didn't even flinch at the touch, but what came next was unexpected.

"I love you..." In one fluid motion, Natsuki brung her lips up onto Kai's. His eyes widened as he felt a sudden jolt of energy through his body. He was not prepared for a kiss at a random time like this. He wanted to push her away, but at the same time he didn't want to let go. The kiss ended. It was Natsuki who had pushed slightly away from Kai.

"Kai... I'm remembering things."

I I I I I I I I I I

Oh my. I totally lied... I kinda rushed through this.. I'm sorry.

Anyways. Confusing ne? Well The story ain't over yet, so yeah. I'm just stuffing things in there arn't I? Haha. Maybe...

Anyways, Thanks for reading! I know there are probably lots of mistakes. Sorry!
