Chapter 2
Smiling longingly at him, she rises to her feet before taking a step closer. "Hello, Akito. I'm back…"
Akito's eyes were staring intently at the girl who stood before him, almost as though he had seen a ghost. And in this case, to him, it was true. This girl was gone; he had seen it with his own eyes.
Flashback
It was a sunny spring day, and all the Souhmas were out at the park. Even Hatsuharu, and Hatori had decided to come. The little kids were all playing at the playground, while the older ones of the family were sitting down talking. That only left the ones in the middle group. Mainly naming Kyou, Yuki, Hatsuharu, and Momiji. But where was Akito? Even though he didn't like to come outside, he still should have come.
"Hey, Kyou…Who's that girl over there?" Momiji asks before putting a sucker in his mouth, pointing to a girl who was definitely not in the Souhma family.
"Hmm…maybe she's a friend of Ayame's. Or a model maybe."
"Actually…" Haru says from behind them, almost giving them all a heart attack. "That girl's here with Akito."
"My girlfriend, to be more exact."
"You have a what!" Kyou and Haru say at the exact same time, looking from Akito to the girl.
"Aki-kun! There you are. I've been looking all over for you." Makana says, stopping all of the conversation from everyone in the little area.
"She's very pretty, Akito. How long have you been going out?" Kagura asks as she smiles at the girl. She had long, dark blue hair with, what looked like a lighter blue streaks in her hair. Her eyes made them all uncomfortable almost; it was as though she was looking into their souls.
"Not long. About two years or so."
"Nice to meet you all. My name is Makana." She says, bowing to them respectfully before standing beside Akito. He smiles and wraps an arm around her waist before kissing her head gently.
Later that day, as everyone is starting to leave something terrible happens. When Makana went to pond all the way on the other side of the park, she had wanted to go feed the ducks but she hadn't come back.
"Hey wait, where's Makana? Didn't she come back?" And just at that moment, a wet and weary Makana stumbles into view. "Makana! Makana wake up…"
After taking her to the hospital, they doctors had pronounced that she had a severe case of pneumonia and that she might not live.
"Makana…please don't leave me." The dark-haired boy known as Akito says as he buries his head against her shoulder, a tear sliding down onto her neck.
"It's ok Akito. I'll still be here…I promise…I'll always be with you…" she says before raising his head up and smiling at him.
"Makana…" He says softly before leaning down and kissing her gently, holding her hand in his. Returning his gentle kiss, Makana slowly slips into a coma as her eyes close with it.
Opening his eyes, Akito becomes frantic and tries to wake her up, not having any luck as she lays limp in his arms. Looking up at the heart monitor, the boy's eyes go wide with fear as her pulse becomes slower and slower, her skin becoming colder and paler as well.
Ayame comes up behind him, forcefully prying his hands from the girl. "Come on Akito. We have to leave."
"No! Let me go! Makana!"
Three weeks later, Akito convinced himself that his love was dead and agreeing never to let another living thing get close to his heart.
Looking up from the desk, his eyes turn from the soft, warm loving look to an icy, cold stare. The old Akito had been lost forever along with his beloved Makana.
Flashback Ends
"Haru…who is this girl?" Akito asks coldly after shaking his head some. "I am certain that I have never seen this girl before."
Haru looks up from the cup and to him before looking to the girl, seeing her eyes turn hurt. He didn't remember her. Not at all.
She takes another step forward, holding her arms out before embracing him. His eyes widen before closing expecting to transform. A few seconds pass and he doesn't transform.
"Aki-kun…please you have to remember. It's me. Makana."
Akito's eyes widen once again in surprise before looking down at the trembling form latching onto him. Hesitantly, he wraps his arms around her and buries his head into her hair.
He whispers softly so that only she can hear him. "Makana…"
She smiles and looks up before kissing him on the lips gently, her eyes closing. He returns the kiss deeply as his hands rest around her waist.
"Makana!" Akito suddenly shoots up in his bed, dripping in a cold sweat before looking around to find himself still in his room. Alone. It was a dream.
"I should have known…" The young man says as he takes a picture of a girl with long royal blue hair and golden-brown eyes standing with the rest of the Souhma family. But more importantly, she was in his arms in the pictures.
A small tear rolls down his cheek and drops onto the glass picture frame only to be the first of many more. And through this all a single Sakura blossom blows into his open window, landing on the picture. Picking up the flower, he holds it delicately in his hand as he whispers one word. And one word only.
"Makana…"
