Chapter 9: Shards

Yumi Ishiayama sat in the darkest corner of the factory Broken glass and parts of machinery littered the floor about her as a salty liquid poured form her beautiful dark eyes. Crying was all that she had left to do she had busted up and smashed a large amount of the machinery and the breakables in her own little corner of the factory.

She sat there in abandon for what seemed an eternity, her heart throbbing threatening to Break apart in her chest like a battle ship and sink out of sight under the tumultuous seas of Love. All the memories that She and Ulrich shared began passing through her tear clouded mind.

The time She fell into the digital void just before he was able to get to her, the time that sissy had stolen his diary and blackmailed him into seeing her for a day until. That was until Yumi recovered it for him.

"He said that he would let me read it one day" Yumi said to herself between sniffles as she stared at the floor and the shards of broken glass at her feet.

Just like her memories of Ulrich They were small and sharp to the touch and In each one she saw a little piece of herself, Just like in Ulrich's eyes well she use to see that, Now there was only Emily in those kind Chocolate eyes.

It was then she caught a large shard of glass, for some reason she picked it up and looked into it like a mirror. her tearstained face and broken heart, slowly faded into large field under a perfect Blue summer's sky and there in the middle of it she and Ulrich they were a couple of years older. He was behind her and his hands were around her waist and his lips at her ear whispering sweet nothings in it and lightly tickling her as they there watched the clouds roll by. A tear of happiness fell form her bloodshot eye and for a moment her heart was still.

DAMNIT! she yelled Jumping to her feet and throwing the shard to the ground in anger and the realization that This fantasy would never happen. The glass cut her hand as it flew out and then shattered into the billion pieces that was Yumi heart as it collided with the Concrete floor, as small drops of blood began to fall about the shards like the Life that was pouring out Of her.

She gritted her teeth and clenched her stinging hand as the pain once more flooder her. It was as she was sinking back into the corner of the room it came to her mind the time that her father lost his job and her and her family were going to have to move back to Japan so he could find work. She remembered how Ulrich had taken it and what he done to try and keep her there.

The tiniest candle light of hope flickered in Yumi's bloodshot eyes as she stood up she clenched her long shirtsleeve around her wound and took off for the control room in the factory. She did remember what he had done and It was her turn to repay the favor, right the wrongs and Face the wrath of the group.

But none of that mattered to her as she had a chance to finally right the wrongs that she had allowed to fester this Term...
