Chapter One – Tears That Never Stop
-
It's been a week since I last saw Kyo. He disappeared right after I awoke from that nightmare of him shattering into pieces… I left it just like that, without questioning it. I tried though. I knew it was real…
A tear left both my eyes. I'm the only one who knew what actually happened. I covered my frail body with the blanket, embracing my body, holding it tightly as if he was the one who held me.
I didn't eat for the whole week; I kept myself in the room for almost forever. My whole body was sore…
A knock on the sliding door startled me.
"Yuya-san? May I come in?" it was Okuni-san.
"I'm tired… leave me alone…"
Okuni-san opened the door and came in. She sighed. "It's not only you who's been so troubled about Kyo-san's leaving… he will come back if he still cares…"
I stopped a sniff. "No… he'll never ever… come back…"
Okuni-san huffed. "You're saying it as if he is DEAD!"
I stared at the opposite wall. "What if he is?"
Okuni-san paused for a moment and she left. Closing the door behind her slowly and ran away from my room. I sighed.
"Okuni-san… I'm sorry…" I sniffed.
'I… I'm sorry…'"No… Kyo… you don't have to…" I cried at the thought of his words. He broke my heart.
'I… I don't want to leave you…'"But you still did…" I said to myself. "You didn't want to but you still did leave me alone…"
"I love you, Kyo… I really do…" I hugged myself even tighter. "Did you… love me too?"
I do…
I sat up on my futon, by reflex. "Kyo!"
The voice of the wind will guide you…
The room windows split open by a strong gust of wind. I could see sakura petals coming into my room. "Kyo…?"
I got up to go outside through the window but my actions were stopped when Akira-san, Bontenmaru-san and Akari-san entered my room. The windows closed.
"Yuya-san! What was that loud noise!" asked Akira-san as he unsheathed his twin katanas.
I looked at the now closed window. I sighed. "There is nothing wrong… I was bothered with the rising heat and… I opened the windows but the wind was so strong outside that…"
Akari-san nodded. "You don't need t explain further, just rest… call us if you need anything…"
"But…" Akira-san started but he stopped when Bon-san shook his head.
"Please leave…" I said not looking at them.
All of them left the room quietly. I was now upset that the only chance of me, meeting with Kyo may be over. I continued crying until the break of dawn.
…
Okuni wiped away her tears. "Akari-san… do you think what Yuya-san said is true? That Kyo-san is… dead?"
"Okuni-san… Kyo is not dead. If he is… then where's his body?" Akari calmed Okuni with a pat on her back.
"But… it could be… remember where we found Yuya-chan? She was on the cliff, she fainted. Don't you think it's weird to see her there alone with no one to accompany her?" Bon stated.
"You are meaning to say that Yuya-san saw Kyo's death?" receiving no answers, he continued. "If she did… why didn't she tell us!"
"It must've been hard on her…"
"Hotaru?" all four of them looked at their companion.
Hotaru glanced at the moon that was covered by the dark clouds. He sat there on the porch quietly. "I may have met her only for a short time but… I know how she's like. If Kyo-san left without her knowing, she wouldn't be this upset, she would be trashing around and will be vowing to hunt him down… but she just kept quiet about it. Don't you think it's weird?"
All four of them exchanged looks. Hotaru was right.
"We should keep quiet until Yuya-san's calmed down and will tell us what she thinks we should know…"
…
I slept restlessly thinking about the voice that echoed in my ears yesterday. That was definitely Kyo's voice…
"Kyo… if it was you… please tell me…" I closed my eyes.
Yuya… the voice of the wind will guide you…
"Kyo… show yourself! Even if only in my dreams… Kyo…" I still kept my eyes closed. I could feel someone embracing me. "Kyo?" I wanted to open my eyes but…
Don't open your eyes…
"Kyo…I want to see you…" I kept my eyes closed shut.
Follow the heart of the wind…
"Kyo… just tell me where you are… please…" a tear left my eyes again.
Don't cry… you look like a dog…
"Kyo… I will find you…" I smiled for the first time in that week. The one who enveloped my body in warmth left me. I was surprised and my eyes opened. "Kyo…?"
Then find me…
