May 6th.
Shun was alone at the park after work, sitting on a bench alone, with his Chaser parked next to it. As he drinks water from a bottle, he looks on to the muscular dark blue Toyota sedan, looking like a shark that threatens to eat anything on its path, with its large intercooler tugged behind the modified bumper. He looks on to the surroundings, the sight of nature, and the group of children playing near a tree. He smiles to himself as he sees that, since it brings sweet memories of the past. He remembered playing with some leaves and falling down on them at times with his friends, especially one particular girl. It is then something crosses his mind…on how the came to know her.
---------------
That time he was only 9.
It was one fine afternoon. Shun was walking to his way home alone from elementary school after classes. He passes through a park as he sees a cart selling cotton candy. It has been quite a while since he last has one. He was attracted at the sight of the cotton candy being attached with sticks. He looks on to the cart, and sees other children queuing up to buy it. He decides to get one for himself too, seeing how long is the queue.
It is some time before he has finally the cotton candy, wrapped in a plastic wrapper. He bought 2 for himself. He plans to take it back home and slowly enjoy it himself. As he goes out of the park…
He accidentally crashes into a girl eating her ice cream. The ice cream end up dirtying his uniform, and he is obviously not happy about that. It will be a lot of work to get the stain off the coat.
"Why the HECK you can't look at where you are going?" he becomes very angry, and screams at the girl. He just exploded and cares not to have a look at the girl he has just crashed into. The tirade goes on for few more seconds, but then the girl pretends that she is not listening.
Instead, she laughs at him. Non-stop.
"AND THE HECK YOU EXPECT ME TO LET YOU OFF LIKE THAT!" he becomes even more angrier. The air around him become stiff, and a fiery aura can be seen in his eyes.
"Hahahahaha…" she continues laughing. "You are really funny…" she added, while trying to stop.
"Ah, whatever it is, just stop laughing at me," he lowers his extremely aggressive stance. It was then the girl slowly stopped laughing. "Just tell me what is your name, so I can find you and seek my revenge."
"Ahahaha…my name's Shiina Sakurako…" the red-orange haired girl replied in a seemingly cheerful tone. "And you won't be able to bully me, bleh," she continued, pulling one of her lower eyelids down and showed him her tongue to insult him.
"You will never get away with this!" he said, and begins to chase after her. The girl begins to make her run away from him.
The chase goes on for a few minutes, until he finally caught up with her as she falls into the swept grasses…only to find that he accidentally landed on her. He embarrassedly stands up, only for the girl to look back at him, and screamed.
"You are SO PERVERSIVE! Hmph!"
---------------
Fast forward to present.
Oh…my…God…it couldn't be…her. No way in hell that she is…He ruffles his light brown hair at the moment he realized it, and quickly throws the bottle of water that he has been drinking into the rubbish bin, and rushes back into the Chaser.
He quickly drives it away from the playground as quick as possible.
---------------
When his friends see him in the cafeteria, they are surprised.
"Hey Shun, what is with that annoyed look?" Kyo goes to ask his roommate, only to be shoved aside.
"Man…what is up with him?" Saniro, sitting on a table with Choo Tin, asks Kyo, who goes back to the table.
"Not sure…he was certainly annoyed about something…could be personal…" Kyo replied, while taking his seat in the partially filled cafeteria. "Guess we should not disturb him in a while. You'll don't do that when he's annoyed."
"Hmmm…OK then," Choo Tin, reading some magazines, said. "So Saniro, let us get on with the thing about your RX7 now…"

Note: Well...back in action! Been very busy with a few things, like work and such, but it's not dead. In fact, there is a long time to go!
