Chapter # 7: Memories to Haunt Me

I sat and opened the present Kisa had given me.

"A journal and pen?"

"Hai! Now you have somewhere to write all your thoughts!" She said with a smile. She cuddled the tiger plushie she'd received from Yuki.

"He was sorry he couldn't be here," I said quietly. She nodded,

"I know, but at least…At least Uncle Yuki can be happy and rested!" She smiled. I smiled down at her.

"You're right little Kisa…You're right."

Kyo handed me a present, smirking,

"This is from me."

I opened it and pulled out a cow plushie.

"You idiot," I mumbled, trying not to laugh.

"It was Yuki's idea," Kyo said smiling. I swore I could almost hear Yuki's fit of giggles swirling around the room. I swore I heard his voice saying things like,

"I'm sorry –laughs- I couldn't-resist! –laughter- "

I smiled,

"Crazy, little Yuki."

Kisa was sitting by Hatori who whispered something in her ear. She ran upstairs and came back with something wrapped in violet wrapping paper. She handed it to me. I stared at it, remembering who it was from. I opened it slowly. It was a box. I opened it to find a journal, many pens and some pencils, a sketch book, and a picture.

"This was all his…" I whispered. I stared at the picture that was framed.

We were standing in front of a flower shop. Yuki was holding white lilies and his arms were wrapped around my neck. Our lips pressed into a sweet kiss. I remembered that day. That day I asked him out. I'd given him white lilies and everything. I read the frame.

'Aishiteru,' was on the top and 'Itsumo,' was on the bottom.

"I'll love you forever too," I whispered,

"My little Yuki."
