Memories
The next morning, Yuna woke up in a room she hadn't seen before. It looked like her teams' room, but it didn't have that dirty sock smell to it. It also had a grand piano on the balcony. "That's a little starnge..." said Yuna. She set her feet onto the carpeted floor, but when she got out of bed, her back hurt tremendously. Why does my back hurt so badly! she cried in her mind. She limped herself over to the mirror. She was wearing a futuristic looking shirt that was spattered with blood, andunderneath it were bandages stained with even more blood. "How did this happen...?" she asked in wonderment as she turned around to see these two HUGE blood stains in the bandages on her back, and realized her body, hair, eyes, and face completely changed. "How the hell did this happen!" she cursed to herself a few times, then decided it wouldn't help and walked painfully over to the piano. She sat down and played a soft little song, and sang to it.
Munasawagi to tomo ni nemuri ni tsuita yofuke
Totemo kanashii yume o miteita no wo oboeteru
Sono asa yokan wa chinmoku wo yaburu you ni
Naridashita denwa de genjitsu no mono to natta
Kokoro ni kienai kizuato o nokoshita mama
Anata wa hitori hoshi ni natta
Rei heard her get up, and went to check on her, but ended up walking in on her song. She had a beautiful vioce. He listened through the whole song, closing the door silently so she wouldn't be disturbed.
Sayonara ne mou nidoto aenai basho e itta none
Eien no wakare no tsumetasa o uketomerarezu ni
Kikasete hoshikatta uso de kamawanai kara
Atashi wa anata ni tashika ni aisarete ita tte
Tatta ichido de ii kara
Owari naki hazu no kanashimi wa maku o tojite
Kisetsu mo kawatte samusa ga yake ni mi ni shimiru kedo
Are wa wasure mo shinai natsu no hajimari no hi de
Atashi no kawari ni kotoshi wa sora ga naki tsuzuketa
Datte amari nimo yume no tsuzuki no you de
Mada naku koto sae dekinai mama
Sayonara ne saigo no kotoba sae todokanai
Wakare no tsumetasa o iya tte mono omoishirasareru
Kikasete hoshikatta uso de kamawanai kara
Sugoshita ano hibi wo kuyandari shitenai'n datte
Tatta ichido de iikara
Doushite sou yatte saigo no saigo made
Nee omoide dake o oite'ku no
Sayonara ne mou nido to ha aenai basho e itta no ne
Eien no wakare no tsumetasa o uketomerarezu ni
Kikasete hoshikatta no uso de kamawanai kara
Atashi wa anata ni tashika ni aisarete itatte
Tatta ichido de iikara
Kore wa tada no yume no tsuzuki no mono gatari de
Atashi wa mada me ga sametenai dake to itte
The song ended with a decresendo that sounded like sweet honey to the ears. Rei clapped quietly, which startled Yuna. "Oh, you were listening to that?" she looked away from him in embarrasment. "You have a beautiful voice, you know?" Yuna blushed. "You think so? Some people wouldn't say that..." Rei walked up behind her. "But I do. I thought that was a beautiful song. You need to sing more often." he said softly. Yuna was getting nervous. REALLY nervous. Her voice started to quiver. "R-really?" she gave a nervous laugh. "W-well, t-thanks." Rei laughed. "Why are you stuttering like that?" "Oh, p-please don't l-laugh at m-me. People used t-to make f-fun of me b-because I s-stuttered when I got n-nervous." she covered her mouth with her hand. Rei turned her torward him and put his face about an inch away from hers. She could feel his warm breath on her face. "Why would be nervous? We're all friends, aren't we?" Yuna almost fainted, but she got the strength to keep going. "Y-yeah, I guess so..."
Yuna got up from her seat at the piano and walked over to her bed. There were blood stains on it, too. She sighed. Rei walked over to see what she was sighing about. "You had a hard battle..." he said sternly, but with sympathy and kindness. "I don't remember what happened to me..." said Yuna, running her hands over the now dried blood stains. Rei looked at her, surprised that she didn't remember what happened. "You battled Kkriah yesterday, and he all of a sudden transformed. He started to win, to the point where it looked like you were about to faint, maybe even die. But then something happened with you, and you grew wings, and you started bleeding, and..." he drifted off. Yuna's eyes grew wide as she remembered something. It was something from a long time ago...about Rei.
Yuna was very little, maybe four or five. She was sitting in the thick, spread branches of a sakura tree the overlooked a cliff that hung over the sea. A little boy about the same age meandered over from a village that lay about a mile away from where she was. He had long black hair tied back in a tube-like hair band, with golden eyes like the sun. He saw Yuna and walked over to the tree she was perched upon. "Hi, what's your name?" he asked. She looked down at him. "Why do you want to know?" she asked impertantly. Rei raised an eyebrow. "Because that's how you get to know someone, and how you become friends!" he replied optimisticly. She gave a slight "hmph". Rei cocked his head, and climbed the sakura trre and sat himself on the same branch she was. She gave a disgusted yelp. "Why are you in my tree!" she yelled at him. "You're tree?" "Yes, MY tree! Now leave!" Rei laughed. "Where's your name? I don't see it anywhere." Yuna opened her mouth to speak, but she didn't have anything to counter his remark. Defeated, she lay her head on her knees, which she was holding to her chest.
"You never awnsered my question, you know." Rei poked her side. Yuna swatted his hand away. "And what was that?" she said with an annoyed face. Rei smiled. "What's your name? Mine's Rei." Yuna looked out at the ocean, with a souless look, where the sun was setting, painting the sky many colors. A big round half circle of orange surrounded by gold, pink, purple, and blue. "It's Yuna..." she said sadly. "What's the matter?" Rei asked. She looked up at him and smiled. "Nothing. Why?" Rei looked at her, apalled. "Okay, first you were mad, then sad, and now you're happy. Does there seem to be anything wrong with that?" Yuna put a finger to her chin and thought. She smiled and looked back at Rei. "Oh, I'm bipolar. And I have something else...it's where you get hyper and forget easily." "You have A.D.H.D.!" "That's it! Bingo!" "You have a Disease!" "It's not contageous, you know." "That's what they all say." "Go ask people, then. Even my doctors say it's not contageous...well, they used to before I ran away."
Rei gasped. "Why'd you run away?" Yuna looked at the sun which was almost gone now. "Because they were smothering me. I don't want to be treated like a baby anymore. I'm gonna become a Beyblader." she said, pulling out a light purple blade. "Her name is Dreema. We're gonna be world champions someday." Rei laughed, and pulled out his silver blade. "No, way. Me and Drigger here are gonna pound you into the dust!" They both laughed, and all of a sudden the light dissapeared. "U-uhh...I have to go!" she said hesitantly as she jumped out of the tree. Rei followed her out of the sakura and grabbed her wrists. "Why do you have to leave?" Yuna looked impatiently the other way. "I just have to be on my way. Maybe we'll meet again someday." with that, she kissed him on the cheek and ran on her way. She stopped running a few feet along, and turned back to him. "It was nice talking to you, Rei!" she yelled. He smiled. "I'm looking forward to battleing you someday! Promise me!" She smiled back. "I promise!" she hollered, and soon she was no longer in veiw.
"Yuna? Yuna! YUNA!" Rei shook her. "Wha...?" "Are you okay?" Yuna looked in his eyes. They were actually a bit more penetraing now. She knew these eyes, now. "huh?" "I asked if you were okay!" Rei forced her to look into his eyes. "Yeah...I'm fine...Just remembering good times." "Good times?" "Yeah. You actually inspired me to do my best back then." "What? What are you talking about?"
