Mowatte Mabase
Chapter 2: Wishful Thinking
-Sad Sad Kiddi-
:clank: The Vespa slowly halted as the engine sputtered in protest. Naota found himself at the bridge where he had always met Mamimi. Glancing down he thought he saw something lying in the grass… He could clearly see Mamimi sitting with her feet in the water, playing with the mewling kitten dubbed 'Takkun.' Wishful thinking he muttered, shaking the image from his head.
.:.The biting cold and howling gale ripped at his light blue windbreaker, the rain penetrating his hood. Pulling it down, since it was useless anyway, as he mussed his hand through his hair he realized this was the first time he wasn't wearing a silly hat or giant bandage to cover up some new robot protruding from his head. For a moment he smirked, but suddenly a feeling of regret and longing rushed over him. In spite of himself he started to reminisce of Haruko and her antics… Haruko and her warmth… Haruko's smell…. Haruko… Haruko… Haruko…
.:.Naota felt himself blushing and for some reason this aggravated him. Raising his head to the sky, closing his eyes and letting the rain fall calmed him a bit, but the thought kept rising like bubbles to the top of his mind… Why did she leave me?
