Part two: The ladies return.
That night Nokoru yet again found himself unable to sleep, so he got up and dressed. He went out of the house and started to walk back to the place were he had first seen this mysterious lady, as he got closer he could hear a violin again, he froze it couldn't be, Nokoru rounded the corner and there she stood.
Tonight she wore the clamp girls school uniform the young lady stopped playing and looked at him, her eyes were shadowed by her fringe her hair billowed around her, she walked up to him wearing her one earring and held out her hand, silently Nokoru handed it to her and with a smile she fixed it back into her ear. "You have a lovely smile."
Her body language went cold, she obviously knew he used that line regularly with young women, she turned away from him, and Nokoru reached out and tried to grab a hand he missed. "Please wait. I meant it."
She gave a slight dismissive laugh and moved away from him. "Please say something."
The lady stopped a little way from him and looked back at him. "You think you're the best thing since sliced bread don't you! Thank you for the return of my earring, but I want nothing to do with such a self centred little boy. Nothing can dent the armour around your heart and self can it? Do you know how hard it is to love some one so untouchable! Some one who loves every woman in appearance! That's why I come here every night and play that peace of music, for you my untouchable Romeo." Her voice was so soft, so hushed, gentle but deeply pain filled.
She covered her face and fled, Nokoru ran after her, he wasn't going to let her escape again, not after those words; she had chinked his armour and made him start to see the world.
In there chase they rounded the corner of the music building he was so close to catching her, then she removed her hands from her face and sprinted off like a professional runner, he rounded the next corner of another building in persute of her and found that just like before she was gone and this time he was left with nothing to remind him of her, it made him feel empty to be left with nothing, empty right through to his heart.
Nokoru sat down on the cold ground and sobbed, uncaring of how cold it was.
Brown eyes with a green ring watched him from the near by trees. "Gomenia Nokoru-san, but this is for the best." Then she very carefully climbed out and snuck away.
Nokoru looked up at the sky, with a hand on his heart. "It hurts, why dose it hurt so much? I'm . . . no I can't be . . Can I? Am I in love with her?" A look of recognition passed over his face, as he remembered when Suoh and Akira fell in love his behaviour was just the same, and he dropped his head and looked at the floor. "I'm in love with her and as more then just the mystery she is, as the woman I've seen that she is, I finally found the right one for me and now I'll never see her again."
Slowly Nokoru rose from his seat, on the ground and looked at the rose bush next to him, he picked a flower causing his fingers to bleed and laid it were she had just been. "For the love I will never see again."
He walked home and flopped down on the bed and sobbed himself to sleep.
