Chapter 3: Future
"Kei, Kei! Wake up!"
Who......
"SHI KEI! WAKE UP, NOW!"
Ryuuki slowly opened his eyes as the familiar voice continued to ring by his ears.
That voice......it can't be......
Ryuuki's eyes snapped open that instant he recognized that voice. A girl half knelt before him, her long flowy hair spilling onto the sides of his face as she bent over his head. Dangling from her neck, was an exquisite necklace of the shape of sakura......
Ryuki jerked up, trembling slightly as he carefully picked up strands of the dark black hair, before shocking the girl by pulling her into his embrace. Tears poured down his cheeks, not noticing the girl squirming uncomfortably in his arms, the flush of her face. As he buried his face into the girls hair, he chanted,
"Shuurei...Shuurei......"
"Kei! Stop that! Who is Shuurei?! I'm Miyu! KEI, STOP IT!" the girl pushed Ryuuki away a little too roughly, causing she herself to fall backwards also.
"Ouch!" the girl named Miyu uttered as she crashed onto the ground.
Ryuuki stared at the girl blankly, unable to digest what just happened, "Erm......Miyu? You're not Shuurei?" Then, he finally observed that the girl in front of him wore strange clothing, instead of the usual attire Shuurei always wore. Her eyes were filled with concern, black with a tinge of familiar, but clearly different.
Then, reality struck him, hard.
How could I have forgotten? Shuurei is dead. She's not coming back. I'm......an idiot.
Ryuuki took a last sad, look at the girl, and darkness claimed him once more.
"Kei? KEI!!! Wha......Somebody call the Student President! His brother......"and the voice faded.
That girl......is not Shuurei......She's not......but the sakura......
Shi Sei was holding a council meeting when a girl barged into the Council Room.
"Sei-nii! Something happened to Kei! I don't know why but he......" Miyu stopped abruptly as she saw all eyes are on her. Slightly blushing, she coughed before reconstructing her sentence, "I mean, President. Your brother, Shi Kei, fainted in the garden just now......"
Before she could finish her sentence, Shi Sei was out of the Council Room.
"Haha......ha......" Miyu laughed lamely before she skidded out of the room, calling, "Sei-nii! Wait up!"
"The President really cares for his brother, huh?" Ran Shu, the Vice President, finally commented.
The treasurer, Ri Kou, nodded before returning to his papers. There were a lot of work to finish, and he did not have the extra time to worry about the brotherly relationships of the President.
Kou Miyu subconsciously clutched her arms as she lean against the window. Glancing over to the sleeping man on the single bed, she sighed.
"Shuurei......Shuurei......" tears slid out of Shi Kei's eyes as he repeats the name, again and again.
Who......exactly is this 'Shuurei' ? Kei, what exactly is going on?
However, other than chanting the name in his dreams, Shi Kei did not answer.
A Little Useful Information:
Hey guys, since this is a "time jump" story, I have decided to change the names of the characters. I figured that they can't have the same names as it will contradict with later chapters, but I retained the surnames. The list will be updated as the story goes on. So, here's the list of name changes, hope that helps! *^-^*
In This Chapter:
Kou Shuurei = Kou Miyu
Shi Ryuuki = Shi Kei
Shi Seiran = Shi Sei
Ran Shuuei = Ran Shu
Ri Kouyuu = Ri Kou
Another thing, I've changed all "Ryuki" to "Ryuuki". Hope people will like that spelling more......? ^-^ And about Jyuu-san hime, I will elaborate more later on, but this chapter is dedicated in explaining Ryuuki's arrival to the future. How he arrived? There's when Hyou Riou comes in. *^-^*
Until next time! ^-^
