• Present Day •

A handsome blonde boy strolled through the streets. It was late in the afternoon and the busy Tokyo streets seemed empty.

Today was the 1st anniversary of Kirana's death. Who knows why people celebrate when a dearly beloved dies, even so, Kise Ryouta made his way to the cemetery gates. There was a massive bundle of brightly coloured flowers in his hands also accompanied with plenty of chocolate and a little card. Anyone would've though he was on his way to a birthday party.

Kise managed to get past the heavy metal gates and keep everything from falling out of his hands, he leaned back on them to shut the gates and let out a little sigh.

"Kirana-cchi! I brought chocolate~" His voice seemed light and playful, but you could tell, he was on the brink of tears.

The tall model made his way around the graves and right up the back, under a beautiful cherry blossom tree. A headstone was placed amongst the roots. Headstones and graves and such weren't cheap nowadays, it's a good thing Akashi was around. He arranged the placement of Kirana's grave. They all, they being the Generation of Miracles and the Phantom Sixth Man, agreed on what was to be engraved on the stone.

'Here lies the girl who couldn't speak, but found her wings and soared into the sky.

Kirana Sayumi, our little sister.'

Short but sweet, was a way to call it. You can't really imagine Murasakibara or Aomine writing that, but it did come from their hearts, it came from all of them.

Kise sat down next to the grave and gently placed the flowers on top and laid the chocolates close to the headstone.

"Kirana-cchi, you still owe me a pair of sunglasses..." Kise said out loud.

Once, about half a year ago, Kise had left his sunglasses on his desk at school and Kirana had found them. She did go to return them, but with Kise's swelling crowd of fan girls and reporters, his sunglasses were instantly recognised and the poor girl had to run. She had tossed the sunglasses into the crowd when she realised what they were after.

Kise had a little dramatic moment and Kirana promised to get him a new pair. She never had the chance though.

The Kaijō basketball player clenched his fists. He remembered that day as if it were yesterday, the day Kirana disappeared.
