Ch.1
Sakura tossed and turned in her sleep. Suddenly she sat up in bed, awake. Realizing that, she began to cry. "Aya…your real name was Ran…." Sobbing silently, she held herself. He was gone. "I loved you, Ran. How can I live without you?" She threw herself face forward into her pillow to muffle the sound of her unbearable sorrow.
It had been a few months since she had watched the island laboratory crumble into the sea, along with Ran and his friends…. who had been assassins. She could hardly believe it when the red haired man told her, but she had seen the evidence when he killed someone in front of her.
Still, he was Aya…Ran. No matter what he did he was still the man she loved. Even though he was older than her by at least seven or eight years and these were just some of the things that stood between them, she didn't care. But now he was gone forever.
Aya woke to the sound of someone crying. Groggily, she checked the alarm clock next to her bed. It read 3:42 a.m. Looking over to her left, she found the source of the sobbing. Silently, she pulled off her covers and swung her feet to the floor. Without words she strode over and gathered Sakura in her arms. Sakura clung to her and proceeded to drench Aya's nightshirt. Aya knew full well what was making Sakura cry. She felt a tear escape her own eye.
It was ironic how her brother had spent so much time trying to look after her, especially when she was in a comma, and she should regain consciousness only to learn he was dead. Between that and the vivid memories surrounding the incident that left her in a comma fresh in her mind, she had become a very serious person.
Still, she felt more sorry for Sakura. She found out that Sakura had loved Aya's brother, but Sakura would not tell her why he had been in the crumbling building in the first place. It must have been really bad, for her to refuse to say a word if it was mentioned at all. So Aya asked no questions.
Sakura put on a brave front in the daytime, but at night, she was a wreck; constantly having nightmares, calling for Ran in her sleep and crying.
They were roommates and friends, now. They went to the same school and both had jobs at the same restaurant. Their mutual sorrow seemed to pull them together. But Aya constantly found herself having to be the strong one.
Finally, exhaustion took over Sakura, and she fell asleep in Aya's arms. Aya sighed in relief. She had to admit that Sakura's crying, every single night, unnerved her a bit. It had been almost two whole months since it had happened. 'We have to move on.' thought Aya to herself.
She eased Sakura's head onto her pillow and tucked her in. Then she padded softly across the moonlit floor and got back into bed. 'I'll talk to her tomorrow after school.' She yawned. As soon as her head hit the pillow she was asleep.
A/n: sorry if not much is going on yet, but I had to explain how things stand in the story before it gets to that. Don't worry; the next chapter is going get interesting. ;)
