The weather was too hot especially when the garish bright golden dimmed sun shone over our head. The dusty wind blew and eroded the metal things. But the noise wasn't coming down, as the school was full of students.
My throat was so dry to speak for hours. The script of the play was so long that almost seemed endless. I swept my sweat when I finally could take some short rest. I took a seat on the opened windowsill on the fringe of this school. Gazing out to the sea of houses and buildings was more fun than practice. With an orange flavor liquid came into my taste, I closed my eyes to feel the dry wind.
" Minazuki-kun. "
" Yes? " I turned my head back to see my classmates. She smiled at me with a blush on her cheek. I got curious what happened to her. Before I could query her attention, she rapidly persuaded me to take an incoherent letter. I looked at her wonderingly. I hoped this wasn't a love letter though. Well, I wanted it from one special person. But it seemed that she would never give me even a greeting letter. She mostly called or spoke directly when special occasion attended.
// Bad luck....//
I read the letter and it was really a love letter. I wasn't that famous but still got some letters. I contemplated they mistook their feeling as love when they were probably just friendships. I was so easy to talk whether to the girls or the boys. They said that I was too easygoing and talkative. But actually Natsuki hated for me for my too-much-conversing habit.
I didn't answer, as the silence grew uncomfortable. After pondering for a while, I finally opened my mouth. The rejection was kinda hurting and I knew how to feel like that. I was used to taste that bitterness when I was a callow black angel as Access. I bestowed her letter back with a brief smile. She just gave me a dejected smile before she ran from the isolated class with trace of teardrops.
I was mesmerized for a while before I gazed back to the city view. I never really paid attention, but now I had too much free time for myself to analyze my birth town. I didn't realize that the wind carried some vague dark feeling at the corner of the wide crowd city.

" Natsuki-san! Let's go home! "
I was surprised when suddenly I was embraced from back by a tender touch. I almost exploded with anger but stopped when I saw the face through my shoulder.
" Celcia? I thought you as Shinji. I almost slap you, you know. "
" He? Speaking of him, I don't see him here. "
We were standing in front of school gate. We usually walked home together and split on the half way. But it was unusual that Shinji was late. And Toki wasn't seen either.
" Where is Toki? "
" Oh, he is doing school chore for a while. "
" Oh. Maybe Shinji is also doing it. Let's wait for them. "
But after twenty minutes, Toki appeared and Shinji was still gone to who- knows-where. I was so irritated and decided to find him to his class. Toki and Celcia were following me from behind with fears expressed on their faces to see my anger.
We crossed to Senior High School of our school and tried to find him. He was on third grade now that soon he would have final tests. Thinking about it, made me felt a twinge pain in my heart. We would be separated and walked on our way. We were so closed as best friends that I didn't want to lose any of them. Still I couldn't do anything about it. Soon I would also lose Celcia and Toki who were older than me two years.
" It's strange. Most of the students have returned home. But the third grade students are still working hard. " Toki was getting curious to see a crowd people on the third floor when the other floors were almost empty to nothing.
" They must be working to make a last good memories. This year is their last time to be at this school. "
Celcia spoke with a little smile. She looked amazed with her seniors. I felt even anxious more than before to hear her statement. When we approached Shinji's class, we took a peek of his class. His class was too crowd and hectic that I almost couldn't see nothing. But I could take a glimpse of a person. Shinji said that his class made a drama about fairy tale. I met a benevolent pretty girl that wore a simple thin mask of ivory powder. She wore an aquamarine kimono, which embellished with snowflakes pattern. Somehow it fitted her so perfect. Her enthrall solemn and calm face was so amazing. When I saw my friends, they also saw the same thing with opened jaw.
I was considering asking about that girl to Shinji. I hoped he didn't fall in love with her. Wait a minute! What did I think anyway? He wasn't my boyfriend and just a best friend forever. Somehow I felt that I was pushing myself to erase him from my head.
I returned my gaze at her. Her light cerulean blue hair was tied with a red ribbon. But I thought the color of her hair and dress didn't match her purple orbs. Her eyes reminded me of someone. Shinji was also having the same color. But the dark mauve color of eyes was easy to be met. Somehow she had a similarity with his. The glinting sparkle in her eyes was lively and rare.
Suddenly our eyes met. She looked so shock and ran behind a pass room. It wasn't really a pass room since it was just created by a black curtain on the edge of the room. I wondered if we had ever met. She seemed to recognize me and her dignity lost rapidly by that short moment.
Toki and Celcia were gazing each other before they took a look of Shinji's presence. The sun would set soon that I had to hurry. I knocked the opened door. All the eyes averted at me and stared questioningly. Some boys looked with dreamy look at me that made me felt uneasy.
" Umm....do you know where Minazuki-kun is? "
Most of them pointed their thumbs on the pass room direction. I couldn't think clearly. Shinji was hiding with a beautiful girl in a dark secret place and made us waiting for centuries?! I rushed to the pass room and swayed the curtain harshly. I was almost shocked to see the view.
There was no one but Shinji on his uniform. He glared at me frustratingly. I tilted my head with lots of questions popped in my head. Could it be illusion? But Toki and Celcia also saw her.
" Err...don't you see a girl come here? "
" I don't see any one but you. " He replied dryly as he went out from the dark room. His face was so dark as if he was angry about something. I didn't recognize the dangle blue kimono draped on the wall.
" Why are you coming here? Can't you wait at school gate? "
" We have! For almost thirty minutes!
" Ara...Don't you get it, Natsuki-san? "
Toki was laughing and shaking violently when Celcia giggled trying to hide her smile. They laughed as if they were tickled with something. I was bewildered.
" Huh? "
" That...that girl is..." Toki stuttered with his inability to stop his laugh. Celcia finally made it clear as Shinji took his bag and left the class abruptly.
" Do you know that Shinji get a role as a princess? "
" Uh-uh. But he doesn't tell me about...." Some idea came out that made me realize.
" Do you mean that..! "
" Yes. That girl is Shinji-kun. "
" You lie! She is so opposite with Shinji. " I took a step backward with disbelieve. I couldn't conceive Shinji with dress. I couldn't stand this derision without escaping a little snigger. Shinji was waiting in front of the class, grumbling and muttering. Now I understood why he didn't allow us to come to his class.
I went outside the class and faced him. He eluded his clarity face as if he was a demented child. I quite knew that he was displeased with him to be seen like that. I giggled a bit that I could feel a sharp knife glare on me.
" Don't be angry, Shinji. I almost surprise to see your beauty. "
" I take that as humiliation. "
" No, no, no! You're really pretty you know. "
" And I'm not happy about that. "
He was even looked angrier. I clammed my mouth up. I didn't think any praise would help him right now.
" Don't worry. You are pretty because of the help of those cosmetics. "
He stared at me with the corner of his eyes with disbelieve look and a hint of condone.
" Really? "
" Uh-uh " I nodded hurriedly. He seemed complacent somehow then he walked along the corridor to go home. We trailed him and chattered like usual. No one dared to speak about his role to avoid a bitter atmosphere though I communed to talk with him freely.

I sighed as I arrived at my bedroom. This day was really worst for me. To be seen like a woman in front of the girl that I loved. And she seemed ardent with my role! Oh, God, this was too cruel to me. I threw myself on my fluffy bed and gazed at my plain ceiling. I was too tired that I easily dropped off to dream world.
// It is only another two weeks before the culture festival. //
************************
*
*
* From the black shadow of the clandestine forest, a stray evil leap without wings across the night. Secretly it showed himself under the misty moonlight. Hunger for unlimited power, it roamed searching for the infinite power.
*
*
* Two weeks were easily passed to our unknowing. As usual the season was so hot with gaudy fawn sun and humid air blew harshly. My drawn face went grim and dull. This play drained a lot of my time, energy, and pride. It was so ashamed to be a girl when I was so proud to be a boy.
" Tomorrow will be the last day to wear this kimono. "
I sighed with relieve. The girls and boys opposed my opinion.
" Why? You look so adorable, Minazuki-kun. "
// Yeah, as if.//
" If you are a girl, I'll make you my girlfriend. "
// I'm sorry to disappoint you. Why don't you take my place? If only you are also compelled to act like maiden. //
I kept grumbling inside my little world. Falling from stairs was more than enough. And I was forced to wear this kimono. I fell thousand times as couldn't run freely and hurt my face. Why girls loved to wear this?
I gazed out through the window. I was daydreaming when suddenly I saw a breakneck black flashed in front of my eyes. I couldn't see what it was. I also couldn't feel it anymore whether it was an evil or not. The problem was I was no longer an angel. I didn't have that kind of power. But with the proven shape of it seemed that it was an evil spirit.
But why it wandered freely in our world? Shouldn't they all be sealed already? When it was gone, I thought it was just my imagination. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was a sign that my break time was end. I sighed in defeat before I glanced back to the window.

Sleepy...tired...oh well. Let's end here. Review please! You see it seems the end is coming. Happy? Maybe there are about two or three other chapters. Bye bye!
