Violence + Pain + True Feelings Pure Love?
Chapter4: A Riddle that doesn't Rhyme:
It had been a year since Keitaro died. Naru and Motoko were often seen in the Okinawa in all the free time they got. Their friends recommended them to rent an apartment there every time they see them, so they won't have to spend too much money on transportation, but they both insisted living in Hinatasou.
"Urashima-san you great perv" Motoko whispered as she stares blankly at the Hinatasou hot spring with a slight smile painted in her face. She remembered the way how Keitaro used to clean it and how she would walk in and accidentally accuse him pervert. She felt happy with those memories left to her in Hinatasou, though they were just mare memories now, she somehow felt that Keitaro was still alive, in her heart.
"Keitaro-san huh?" Naru said as the lido-kun stuffed toy placed over the hole connecting to the room of their once kanrinrin caught her attention while she was changing clothes. She remembered how Keitaro would accidentally pop there while she was changing, and how she sent him flying high up in the sky. Again memories of Keitaro were something she had left of him, aside from the lido-kun stuffed toy he gave her.
"Keitaro is a friend!! Keitaro is my friend!! Keitaro deserves a reward!! And Keitaro got a mountain of bananas!! Hahaha!!" Su laughed as she recites it in a sing song tone.
"Ya know that doesn't rhyme even a bit!!" Sara protested
"How about this?? Keitaro is sweet! Keitaro is meek! Keitaro falls down the hill!"
"Worse!"
"Ummm... Keitaro is dumb! Keitaro bump! Keitaro got huge lump! Naru and Motoko had Keitaro dump! Hahaha!"
"Much better!"
"These two never really knew what pain people feel in his lost" Shinobu said almost starting to cry.
"Ya know sweet pancake? This two cried more than you did went he was gone during night. They just don't want to show their burden, so they tried making fun of him" Kitsune said comforting Shinobu.
"I guess senpai was too special for any of us to obtain Kitsune-donno"
"Come her darling and give me a hug! Your senpai was not special but he was one of a kind"
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
It was Wednesday, Motoko and Naru both have a day-off to visit Okinawa, or to be particular with is to visit the tomb of their benevolent one. Under the shade of the huge sakura tree were a funeral mound which awaits both Naru and Motoko who were both in good spirit. Cheerful as they can be, they greeted the tomb of Keitaro talking to it as if it was Keitaro who was listening to them.
It wasn't long until it started to become dark; it was the signal for the two of them to go home. But as they were about to leave there was a little event that was about to change their lives... forever!
"My dear young ones, please don't be in such a rush, all I need is a little time for you, young ones to listen" an old woman spoke.
"My, we're so sorry Madame! But is there anything we can do for you? Perhaps a favor or request you need from us?" Motoko politely suggest.
"Favor? Ah, yes of course I need a favor, but not for me, but for him" she pointed out to tomb of Keitaro.
"For him? Excuse us but we are really in a great hurry. But if you would really pleased, we could spend a little more time. Just please make it fast" Naru said as she smiled gently at the woman.
"He was dead indeed, but he was alive!
He was waiting but it was already too long!
The wait has its limits!
The appropriate one was soon to be chosen!
8 weeks from now and 3 days from that day,
the appropriate one will emerge!
But before the choosing was made,
the sun will lit the cave of darkness to bring forth the light in the hell of obscurity!
The passage will then be opened!
But again beware!
The water will emerge fast as lightning strike,
killing the turtles in the process!
Seconds are your only option!
That day is the day you die!
Or knock in the door of heavens... breathing!" the woman said in a riddle tone.
Just as she finished saying her riddle that doesn't rhyme she disappeared in an instant infront of Motoko and Naru.
"Where have she gone?" Naru asked astounded.
"I don't know" Motoko said as she silence herself, looking for possible demon aura.
"What?" Naru asked.
"There's no sign of bad element around us"
"Which means?"
"This means that her riddle doesn't rhyme a bit"
"You're right! I wonder where she do study" with that Naru and Motoko secretly giggled at the old woman.
"That maybe, was a good spirit or just a product of our imagination"
"Whatever! Hey, the boat leaves exactly 7pm and it's already 6:30pm! Better hurry or we'll be sorry you know!"
'You ungrateful youths! I may not be good at making riddle but AnimeRulez08 ordered me to do it at the last minute! He should be the one to blame and to be laughed at!'
'Shut up old woman! You're destroying my story!'
'I don't care! I will destroy your story because you made me look like a kinder student looking for a lollipop and was told to make a riddle!'
'Think about it, your riddle really sounds like a kinder riddle'
'Is not! I will destroy this story now!'
'How?'
'I'll be a spoiler! In the end Naru will fall for-'
'Stop!'
'Why?'
'I won't give your chocolate lollipop if you continue!'
'Chocolate lollipop?... Is that the large size Nagoya lollipop which has free toy inside?'
'Yep! It also has a free Sesame Street collection songs! Now behave!'
'Arrf! Arrf!'
'Now sit!'
'(old lady sits like a dog) Arrf! Arrf!'
'Very good! Now turn around!'
'(old lady turned around like a dog) Arrf! Arrf!'
'Very Good! Here's your prize! Now fetch! (Throws the lollipop far away)'
'Arrf! Arrf! (run after the lollipop)'
'Oh, be careful you're running in the high voltage zone'
'Arrf! Arrf! (catches the lollipop) zzzzzVVzzzVVzz (caught in the 10000 volts)'
'Oopps! Censored! Too violent to tell'
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
When they reached home, they both went straight in their room. Both were deep in thought, both were confused of what the mysterious old lady meant.
That night Motoko decided to sleep early to avoid thinking more of Keitaro, slighter than she thought, even in her sleep her feelings will still haunt her even in her most dear dream.
'Urashima-san, I love you so much! If you come back again, or won't come back, I promise that I will entrust my heart to you and only for you' Motoko thought in her sleep as tears fall down across her cheek.
Naru on the other side was fully awake, hugging tight the lido-kun Keitaro gave her when they were both young that she could hardly remember. Tears were also falling ceaseless in her eyes, but this night was different to the other nights she went through.
'Keitaro-san I believe that you are happy and contented now to where you are. Though it is hard for me to let go, I will be willing to let go. I know that this is the right thing to do. And I know that if you were here beside me you would tell me the same thing. Though I will move on, I promise not to forget that you were once the most important guy in my life, and that will always remain the same'
Morning came, Naru woke up and leave early without letting the Hinatasou gang know. She was planning to make this day a new start in her life. Though she was still heartbroken she wanted to find something that will mend her heart back. Naru feeling empty inside decided to take a train to Kanto region. She never had any memories with Keitaro there, and that's exactly why she is going there.
Once she step foot on Kanto region she decided first to have a breakfast at the nearest coffee shop she could find. She decided to order a coffee and a chocolate mousse. Once she is finished she asked the waiter for the receipt.
"300 yen Madame" the waiter said politely
"No problem" when Naru reached for her wallet which is in her pocket, it was gone.
"Is there any problem Madame?" the waiter asked.
"No, nothing really it's just that I think I misplaced my wallet" Naru said looking inside her bag this time.
"I'll pay for it!" a masculine voice spoke.
"Arrigatou!" the waiter said as he bows down and left
"Thank you very much I really owe you a big one" Naru said to the guy as she bows down.
"It was nothing big really! Umm... Can I sit here?" asked the guy.
"Sure!" Naru replied.
As the man settled comfortably in the seat infront of Naru, Naru scrutinize the guy. The guy has lighter brown hair than Keitaro though he has the same height and same physical appearance as him. With this thought Naru remembered just how kind Keitaro was to her and everyone else.
'What am I thinking? I should be moving on now! I shouldn't think of him' Naru scolded herself.
"My name is Shikimori Kazuki" the man spoke with courteousness
"Narusegawa Naru, a pleasure to meet you Shikimori-san"
"Kazuki is fine with me! Ummm... Is it alright to call you Naru-chan"
"It's fine with me, Kazuki-san! Ummm... Kazuki-san Gomenasai about what happened earlier you see-"
"I supposed you're new here? I see you weren't aware about the snatchers around"
"Hai, It's my first time to visit the Kanto region"
"If you wouldn't mind, it would be a pleasure for me to show you around"
"Arrigatou" Naru bows down again.
When they were both about to stand up and leave, Kazuki tripped over the crumbs of cake Naru accidentally drop when she was looking for her wallet. Kazuki's face landed flat on Naru's breast, just as this happened Kazuki quickly gained himself and duck on the floor covering his head as if waiting for a violent reaction from the girl he have just met.
"Gomenasai! Gomenasai!" Kazuki repeated over and over again. Naru was brought into rage, but quickly disappeared when she saw Keitaro in form of Kazuki.
"Forget about it! Besides it was my fault! I drop those crumbs a while ago" Naru said as she held a hand to Kazuki.
"You're not angry at me?" Kazuki said astonished.
"If you really meant it, you wouldn't be stooping down there pleading for forgiveness!" Naru giggled at him.
That whole day Kazuki showed Naru the tourist spots in Kanto region. They rode in Kazuki's red Ferrari, he treated her lunch and snacks. When it was starting to get dark Kazuki decided to stop in a vending machine to get some drinks. When he returned he gave a soda to Naru and opened the other for himself.
"It was getting dark, I supposed you have a plan to where to stay for the night" Kazuki said out of the blue.
"Sorry, but I really don't have any"
"That's sad! How about you stay at my place? I have extra rooms for my guests. I wouldn't mind if you occupy one"
"Really that would be great!"
