Death and Rebirth 3 – It's strange…

In a quite and cold graveyard, the solemn atmosphere surrounds those who visit him. Even though it's nearing the end of the winter but, it's still cold in this sanctuary. A beautiful long haired woman went and places a bouquet of flowers by the cold stone that is written:

Here lies the young spirit whose voice forever inspire people,

May this child of spring be blessed with infinity of happiness,

And live in the joyful memories that he brought to us.

SHINDOU SHUICHI

Born: 16-04-19XX

Death: 28-2-20XX

After half an hour, Shuichi's parents decided to leave as they did not want to suffer longer, remembering the pain of losing their only son. The rest of them leaved together with Shuichi's family. Hiro stayed behind together with his lover, Ayaka. His heart still hurts whenever he thought of the fact that Shuichi now lies beneath this ground.

This person was my best friend. He is always the spring but why is his death a cold winter? The dirge that is played when the whole Tokyo is mourning for his death is not a song that could inspire people to move on. It's just a song of infinity sadness…

Ayaka stared at her boy friend and too felt that sadness in his heart is now slowly seeping in to her heart. She walked near Hiro and touched his shoulder lightly and gave him her warming smile. Hiro stared at her for a moment and then shook his head. He smirked looking at Shuichi's grave.

'I'll visit you again, Shu. We'll not let you stay there alone. So, see ya.' With that Hiro walked away from the graveyard with Ayaka.

Shuichi is now continuing his investigation with his partner. The closer they are to the park, the more silent it gets. Shuichi looked left and right.

'Nee… Rye-chan… Don't you think it is so eerily silent?' Shuichi whimpered. Rye smirked and gave out a small laugh.

'What? Don't tell me that you are afraid, Shu…'

'No! I'm not. I'm definitely not a coward.' Rye stared at Shuichi with an uninteresting eye.

'Oh… Really?' Rye turned his head back to the front. Shuichi pouted with a pissed off look.

'I'll show you that I'm not afraid.' With that, Shuichi walked in front of Rye. Rye shook his head. Man… He is just like a kid. He smiled at Shuichi's back and then he started to pick up his pace to catch up with the young Shinigami. He caught Shuichi's neck under his arm.

'Hey! Let go! What are you doing?' Shuichi struggle hard to break free.

'Who do you think you are to walk in front of me? I'm your sempai.'

'You've only entered Ju-oh-Cho a year earlier than I am and now let go of me!' Rye sudden release of his arm causes Shuichi to run forward and hit a pole. The young man lied on the ground all dizzy with a bleeding nose.

'I see… a … lot ooff… kumagorou flaying around…' Rye kneeled beside Shuichi.

'Hey? Are you still alive?' Shuichi sat up and glared at Rye, 'Who's fault do you think is it?'

'Hehe… Just playing with you only. Anyway, let's get going.'

The both of walked down the quiet street and then turn into the park. The whole park was so silent except for the sound of the cold wind blowing through. Shuichi shivered.

This is weird. It's already getting near to the end of the winter season but why is it still so cold? And I'm getting a bad feeling about this…

Rye notices that Shuichi is getting very silent and he starts to felt worry about him.

'Shuichi?' His call was only ignored by Shuichi who is now seemed very troubled. Rye taps Shuichi's shoulder and he snapped out from his thought.

'Yes?' Shuichi looked towards Rye.

'Is there something wrong?' Shuichi saw Rye's worried look and then he just shook his head and put on a fake smile. However, this does not seemed to relief him but he decided to let it go.

'Well… since you say so. Let's go on. The place where they've found the victim's body is not too far from here.' Shuichi nodded and he quietly followed Rye.

What is this that I'm feeling? The load in my heart just keeps get heavier as I walk.

Suddenly, Shuichi shouted in pain causing Rye to turn around in shock. He saw Shuichi is now kneeling down with his hand clutching his head as if he is having a headache. Rye quickly ran towards Shuichi.

'Shuichi! What is wrong?' Rye grabbed Shuichi shoulder on both side.

'I don't… know… It just suddenly hit me… Argh! ' With that Shuichi fainted.

The next morning, Shuichi woke up with a slight headache.

Ouch… My head still hurts. (Shuichi looked around the room) Hmmm… Where am I? Oh.. I'm back at the apartment.

The door creak open and Rye entered the room.

'Yo.. You awake. Feeling better?' Shuichi looked up and face Rye. He gave out a smile while scratching his head.

'Yeah… Better than ever.' said Shuichi thumbs up while smiling happily at Rye in chibi-saiz.

Rye gave him a suspicious look, 'Are you sure?' Shuichi nodded again and again fast and finally felt dizzy. Rye looked at him with a sweat drop.

'You've better stop before your head comes off,' Swaying his head in dizziness, Shuichi managed to answer him.

'Hai…..' Rye sighed and smiled at him before turning towards the door.

'Well… It seemed like you are now ok. I'm going to cook now. Rest for a while.' Rye turned his head and winked at Shuichi. 'Later!'

After Rye left the room and closed the door behind him, Shuichi's smile slowly disappears.

Huh…(Shuichi closed his eyes and lost I his thought for a moment) I fainted… I hope that I won't cause any trouble in this investigation. I wonder what is happening now.

Revising his first chapter again and again, Yuki tried to find some inspiration to continue his novel. Finally, he gave up and off his notebook. Then he leaved his room and went out to the living room, grabbing his box of cigarette which is lying on the dining table. He went to the couch and sat on it while smoking a cigarette that he has just light.

Damn… My dead line is getting near and there's not even an idea flowing in my mind.

Yuki was then broke out from his thought by a sound from the room that Shuichi once resides. He stared at that room door for a moment before he stood up and started to walked towards that room.

It's been three year since I last enter that room. Should I enter it now? ... (Yuki stopped in his steps.) Just a look won't hurt. (He then continues towards the door.)

Yuki hesitated for a moment thinking whether it is a good idea to turn this knob, opening the door the where his nightmare resides. He sighed and then he opened the door.

The room stayed the same as how it was except Tohma got all the blood trace cleaned the next day.

Yuki on the lights to get a better view and looked around for what could have possibly cause the noise. Then his eyes caught a bright colored book that is laying on the one the floor. He walked over to and picked up the book. He opened to the first page which is written:

This is Shindou Shuichi's dairy.

A diary? I didn't know that the baka actually kept one. So bright and colorful, just like a kid's book.

Yuki smirked and then he read out the remaining of the page in mono tone.

'This book is private and confidential. Whoever dares touch or read this book will suffer my wrath. WHA HAHAHAHA! ….' Unable to withstand his laughter, Yuki gave out a small laugh.

'How stupid…' Slowly Yuki's smile starts to disappear. Then he decided to place the book back at its original place but suddenly two pieces of paper fell out. Yuki cursed and bent down to pick it out.

What is this? … Oh... It's an amusement park ticket. Could it be the one I went with him. No… It's an unused ticket. (Yuki's eyes were widen in shock when he saw the date of the ticket was dated on 1st of March) What… This is they day after he died… What does this mean?

Yuki leaned on the wall and slowly slide down, sitting on the floor. His hand slowly open the book again and flipped to the first page of the diary and concentrate fully in reading that bright diary of Shuichi.

-End Of Death and Rebirth 3 : It's strange…-

Anyway, I hope that there is no problem with this chapter and you all will be satisfied with it. And also I hope that the Yuki I wrote won't be too OOC. If it did happen, I'm so sorry! I just type whatever that appear in this brain of mine. Hehe… Well… I hope you enjoy this chapter and please REVIEW!
