Chapter 17: Loop

Mikan's P.O.V.

Hey, while this town is covered by twilight,
The morning sun is shining down somewhere else in this world.
As that flower withers away in your hand,
A little seed probably falls into the ground somewhere.

--,--,--,--,--,

I walked through the crowd, facing the other direction. My life was…just that. My life. Empty and not all that special anymore. I missed him so much but I couldn't see him again. I breathed a sigh as my heavy heart went along with me. These past two years have been the hardest and most painful years of my life.

Because, knowing that she could have him but she shouldn't. It was all so tragic. I kept walking, my head bent. My head swirled with all the memories I wanted to make myself forget but couldn't bring myself to let go of. So…I buried my head and kept on moving.

--,--,--,--,--,

If the trodden soil is called a path,
Then is shutting my eyes love?

Natsume's P.O.V.

I strolled in the streets of Singapore, uncaring of those around me. Round my neck hung a silver chain with a silver band, a matching one on the fourth finger of my left hand. The promise she and I would keep until the end of time. I sighed and recalled the odd words Asato had chosen to say to me on the night I nearly ended my life.

Everywhere around me, faces, unfamiliar and unwelcoming, greeted me. I remembered the smiling face that always greeted me even when nothing went right. Cherish it forever would I. A swath of coppery hair caught my eye. I was hallucinating, I was sure. She wouldn't be walking around. Especially when she was on the other side.

If our star was flat, the two of us wouldn't have met.
We were running without slowing down,
As if from each other. No matter how far apart we are now,
We will surely face each other again in this revolving miracle

Mikan's P.O.V.

Raven bangs waved slightly in the air as my own auburn ones flopped into my eyes. From across the rode, I saw the same sea of people. Then, eyes I thought I'd never see again. Red crimson eyes on the other side of the road. They widened simultaneously as mine did.

Natsume…

Hey, when the twilight passes from this town,
Take my tears away too

Time stopped. Everything melted away into oblivion as I saw Natsume's mouth gap open. My eyes softened to degree where I couldn't believe that I actually met him again. We were on either sides of the road, on different sides of the light and darkness. We moved to the middle, creating not a separate world of black and white…but a region of gray.

If a story of words is called a novel,
Then are these words that can't reach it my dream?

We reached each other, clasping our hands, uncaring of the eyes that watched us from the sides. We were lost in each other's eyes, not wanting to ever divert ourselves from it. It would surely kill us if we tried.

Carried by fallen leaves floating in the river that flows without faltering,
Became clouds with the sea and fell with the rain,
I will raise this seed that fell near the distant you
If only you would notice me from your distant location

"Mikan," he whispered, his forehead rested on mine. "I thought that you were…"

"I'm not," I answered. "Because…I promised. I knew I'd see you again. And…it's because we live in a loop right?"

"Right," he whispered, finally bringing me in for the seal that would cast us into an eternity of fate and love.

Because our star revolves without stopping,
The sceneries outside the tiny opened window,
And the flower I loved, we will surely face each other again,
In this revolving miracle, in this sprouting season,
We will surely face each other again

"I love you," he whispered.

"Need I say more?"

I didn't.

Because I was too busy kissing him.

Round and round I go,
Round and round around you…
