The early spring air was cool and refreshing, clean. Gentle winds brushed the blossoming cherry trees and petals fell to the grounf as an imitation of winter's snow. Oh, it was as beautiful as the real winter snowfall, but warmer and somehow more romantic.
Probably because you weren't freezing your butt off in the snow.
Kotarou Higuchi sighed to himself as he thought of the angel that had left him three years ago. No, not left him. He had let her go. There was no other way around that. If she did not become a full-fledged angel she would disappear. That was a worse fate than just leaving.
He sighed again.
'Misha... I bet you would have loved this.'
"So this is where you took off to, eh?"
Kotarou nodded silently. Another breeze passed by and ruffled his purple hair.
"It's been a long day," Kotarou said.
"Yeah."
"I couldn't wait to get out of there."
"Know whatcha mean, man," Takashi laughed. "Mind if I sit down with you?"
They had finally made it to highschool. The entrance ceremony had been long and quite boring; Takashi got to speak to the student body, too. That was probably the highlight of it. And a new school meant new uniforms, too. Seeing Takashi up there, wearing a black uniform with large gold buttons down the front, he realized that he looked pretty good.
Heck, he could have been wearing lettuce and he'd still look good. No particular reason as to why Kotarou thought of lettuce, but he would and could. Takashi was just blessed that way.
"Anyways, man, what's on your mind?" Takashi asked. Kotarou blushed. "Thinkin' about some hottie, are ya?"
"Oh, uh, um..." How do you answer that when you were just thinking of the person dressed in food? Lettuce, even. "I was thinking o-of Misha-sa-san."
"Oh, yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Hey," he started, "have you heard from her of Shia-san at all?"
Kotarou shook his head. "No."
How could she contact him? How could either of them? Those were questions that he couldn't ask Takashi without sounding like a nut. Misha was an angels, she passed her angel exams, and went back to Heaven; Shia was a kind-hearted demon, unable and unwilling to sustain herself, and in the end she died. Yeah, a sane person could say and believe that...
"Ah, well..." Takashi chuckled and scratched his head. "Uematsu suggested that we go to an arcade. Whatcha think?"
Kotarou shrugged.
"Sounds good, I guess."
"Hey, it's better than sitting here, isn't it?"
Kotarou shrugged, "probably."
"So let's go, eh?"
Takashi started getting to his feet with a small smile. Kotarou sighed and followed him.
"You should focus on the present, dude. I mean, you're lookin' pretty good today. If I were a girl I'd totally date you."
Kotarou could feel his face heat up at the comment and he turned away.
"Uh, yeah." What was wrong with him? "Th-Thanks..."
