Bloody Snow

AiEiNoTenshi

Chapter 4: Someone Special

"Feels good, neh?" He talked to himself silently as he sat down, one knee raised just below his eye level as the other one just lay on the floor, on one corner beside the box where he placed his dear letter. Yes, he wrote another letter to none other but the mysterious 'bloody snow'. He closed his eyes feeling the cold breeze as it passed through his face. He like it that way, just like how others think of his heart, cold but of course it really isn't. It is as warm as everybody else's but not as open. He held his head high as he leaned it on the hard, cold wall behind him.

She watched his every move and listened to his every breath. Then suddenly, a word from him made her heart stop from beating for a split second.

"I wonder how her eyes look." He whispered to the air, hoping the cold wind will bring his message to her.

She didn't know who she is that he referred to as 'her' but she was hardly affected by the words he just said. Reason, unknown. It just seems as if he was referring to her and that thought alone made her very heart skip.

He opened his eyes to gaze at the dark sky from the clear glass of the window. He like darkness, no doubt about that. He does not fear it just like everybody else and I guess it's obvious since he just made his way alone into this unlighted building.

"What else am I suppose to do here? Nothing else, I guess. But it feels so right being here at this time, right now. I can do anything, can't I? I can be myself and nobody will know of it. Perfect." He muttered to him self quite aloud but with an oh-so-gentle voice. He then closed his eyes again and hummed a tune nobody knows existed and it's the world's loss not knowing it for every note of the tune is perfect.

His hum seems hypnotizing that her eyes automatically closed and her mouth opened slightly ajar, threatening to imitate his humming but then before she could even make a squeak, her eyes shot open as she became aware of her surroundings once again as soon as the humming abruptly stopped. She was half thankful, half disappointed. Thankful because it saved her from being discovered but disappointed because the second best part of her life just ended. Of course the best part of her life is when she is writing letters.

He quit his humming and stood up slowly. "It's late already. Kakashi might be looking for me." Right after saying those words, he made his way off the building and to his home.

'Kakashi?' A question was posted in her mind for a second but then immediately disappeared as she focused on her objective in going all the way here.

Could someone be looking for me too?

I wish someone will…

…someday.

She walked towards her boxes slowly, for the very first time. She opened it carefully and took the letter she was sure the one the boy dropped in a few minutes ago and put it in the huge side pocket of her black jacket. She then get the other letters and put it in her usual bag and then took out the reply letters from her bag and placed it in the other box. A mystic smile crept upon her usual blank face as she strode her way out of the building.

_Dear Bloody Snow,

Arigato Gozaimasu. I don't know how to thank you more. You really helped me. I did exactly what you advised me and you're right. My parents got angry but then forgave me. They talked to my ex-boyfriend's family and had an agreement. My ex-boyfriend and I will be wed right after graduation and knowing that, we had a long, serious talk. And so, now, my ex-boyfriend is my boyfriend once again and I'm happy now. I do not have worries, no more. Now, I'm focusing on taking care of my health for my baby.

I will never ever forget you. And once again, arigato.

-shattered mirror-

She found another folded paper in the envelope and she had small, appreciative smile after reading its content. 'So, we'll both be celebrating a special day.'

HIKARU- HIASHI

NUPTIAL

Bloody Snow, you are formally invited to our wedding on March 28, 2009.

You are requested to be one of the guests of honor of this most special day.

Your attendance will be most appreciated.

_Dear Bloody Snow,

I did what you advised me and I got rejected. She told me she loves no one else but my best friend and I had nothing to do but to accept that. I even promised her I'll help her with my best friend because I know I'll be happy when I know she is and I thought it was the best thing to do. She thanked me and gave me a tight, friendly hug and I fought off my tears until she was gone. It just hurts so much that I couldn't help but drown in tears. Yes, I have accepted the freakin' fact that she will never love me but still it hurts for a certain reason I'm not sure I know. But still, I thank you very much for your help. I feel much better that I was able to tell her what I really feel towards her and that at least, it's all better now.

-Aki-

A gloomy morning. Everyone is ranting about the bad weather. It is raining hard; a storm, perhaps. But it is the opposite for this girl who is staring at the window with blank eyes but with a content heart. Her feeling is, for once, overwhelming. The letters she read last night were very fulfilling. She was glad to help to those people, people she doesn't even know but somehow cared for.

"What the heck! Classes should be canceled with this kind of weather." A blonde boy practically shouted to no one in particular.

"Shut up, dobe." His raven-haired friend and seatmate said annoyingly.

"Shut up?! Did you just told me to shut up, you teme?! How could I shut up?!"

"Just close your big mouth."

"How could you bear this?! This whole thing is stupid! Having classes when a there's a very, very strong storm?!"

"You exaggerate. It's only signal number 1. Your darn voice is much-"He was cut off before he could even continue his hurtful statement. But really, the blonde's used to it. His words won't hurt him anymore.

"Signal number 1?! Are you nuts?! It just broke about hundreds of trees."

"Over exaggeration. It just nearly broke twelve month-old plants."

"Whatever. I still think there should be no classes today."

"Dobe." He muttered quietly under his breath so that the blonde won't hear it. He looked away and his eyes darted to his mysterious, pink-haired classmate. Just like when she first saw her, she is looking out the window but he got more access to her face now. She noticed her pale, thin lips and small, erect nose but her eyes are not visible through her thick bangs. Then it hit him; her features are exactly what he saw in his little day dream, he's sure of it. When he saw that his blonde friend is busy chatting or rather arguing with a blonde girl, he decided that it is the right time for him to do what his curiosity drives him to. Slowly, he walked towards the pink-haired girl.

"Uhm…" He coughed rather quietly. The girl didn't move a muscle. It seems that she didn't heard him; maybe too preoccupied with her thoughts.

"Uhm…" He coughed again, this time, louder but still, no reaction from the girl.

"Excuse me." He dared. Still, no reaction from her.

She is used with the noise around her so whatever she hears, she just ignore and nobody ever talked to her and she never dared to dream somebody ever will so the monotonous 'sorry' of the guy that crashed her shoulders a few weeks ago wasn't a dream come true after all.

He is now getting embarrassed. 'Is she ignoring me on purpose? No way.'

"Excuse me." He dared say it again, now with a slight tap on her shoulder. This time, she turned her face to him. He took an invisible gulp as he was about to find out the face of this mysterious girl.

Did someone just touch her shoulder? This is just impossible. Who in the world would do that? She was never seen or rather noticed ever before, so why now?

Human touch?

The feeling of…

…human touch.

She faced him in the exact moment a cold wind blew upon her face, making her thick bangs fly away from the upper part of her face for some second, therefore exposing her rare, special orbs.

He was dazed for that one moment. Did he just saw green ? Yes, he saw green eyes. The annoying question in his mind was answered at last. The eyes of this mysterious girl are green. It's unique just like the color of her hair.

As soon as her bangs were back on its proper place, a voice came out from her mouth; a voice she didn't even know she possess.

"W-what is it?" She spoke with soft, slightly trembling voice.

Black eyes.

They seem so…

…familiar.

Who is this…

…boy?

"I'm just curious, are you really in this class?" He spoke with soft, monotonous voice.

Human voice.

The same human voice.

It's all…

…familiar.

"Y-yes."

"What is your name?"

Name?

I have…

…a name?

"S-Sakura."

My name.

I have…

…a name…

…and I…

…exist.

_Bloody Snow,

I am the one who wrote to you before without a name. I cannot deny I felt better releasing some emotions; emotions that were stuck in my heart for a very long time. I can now breathe lightly and you're right, I've made it through you and much to my satisfaction, I didn't heard a word from the public about it and so you kept it confidential. Arigato.

Now I just want to inform you that I'll be writing again to you soon and this time, I already have a name.

-teme-

Teme? Why does it sound …familiar?

'Shut up?! Did you just told me to shut up, you teme?!'

AiEiNoTenshi's corner!

Konban wa!

So, I kinda' rushed the last part, okay?

But still, hope you liked it!

Arigato everyone!
