Wish Three: Feather
"I'm bored! I want to bother someone! Join me, Yumi!" The wish granter exclaimed.
"Tsk. Don't involve me, Shikino. You know the last time what happened, right? C-H-A-O-S,"
"Awww….but…boredom can kill, Yu-chii~"
"Whatever you say; I'm still not going to join you this time."
"Awww…Yumi~!"
-Puppy Eyes Look-
The bluish-black panther just turned its back to her. A pair of butterfly-like wings sprouted from its back, and then continuing to soar to the azure clear sky.
"Not fair!" Shikino stomped her feet.
"Oh? But I have something to visit, my dearest," Yumi chuckled.
"Excuses!" She complained to where Yumi once stood.
"And…She's gone. Oh well….Hmmm…Aha! I'll search some wishes and for today, or maybe I'll observe humans once again," the wish granter suddenly materialized a buttermilk-colored, enlarged feather.
"Oh? A café?" Shikino wondered.
"Humans are really weird. They can just eat at their house, right? Why establish a café like this?" Her pale hands pressed the clear glass in front of her. She then noticed a teenage girl coming out of the stylish oak door. The exit's wind chimes took their tingling sound.
"Hmm…? That girl is crying,"
"Why do they cry so much these days?"
She let out a sigh.
"Anyway! I wanna eat at this café! But…my clothes…T^T hmmp! Never mind!"
"Huh? That girl is still crying?"
She noticed the same girl under a luscious green tree, several distance away from the café, taking out her phone, dialing a number, and then bursting into a river of tears.
"T-Tomo-chan…-sniff- H-He broke u-up….with me…" -sniff-
/ Broken hearted much? /
"H-He said…-sniff- He doesn't love me anymore….W-Why…"
The girl cried even more, much worse than before.
/ Tch, then find a new love. Start a new one. As simple as that, /
"N-No….D-Don't…"
Shikino raised an eyebrow.
"Near the….Nadeshiko Heaven Café…"
The end call button lighted.
Several minutes already passed. The teenage girl already started a much louder faucet of sobs.
/ How boring. I thought she'll say a wish or something. Hmp! I'll leave then. Tch. /
"SAKUNO!"
The wish granter turned.
/ So that is Tomo-chan, huh. Her best friend, perhaps? /
"Where is he? I'll kick his ass!"
/ Bingo /
"Let….him….be….Tomo-chan…" She heard the girl utter between sobs.
"HOW DARE HE-"
/ Loud-mouthed much? /
"I….want….to….go…..home…"
The newly arrived girl's eyes softened. Who can deny your best friends request; much more if she's crying because of a broken heart?
"Alright,"
/ That's it? No wishes? Not even one? /
-Few Minutes Later-
A strong wind blew by.
A tumbleweed followed.
A rusty can followed next.
"Argh! I get it! I'll just follow them!" She stomped away once again.
-Next Day-
"Zzzz…." The sleepy nose bubble popped.
"Hm? I'm getting sleepy here….Not even an ounce of 'interesting' happened. I'm gonna die!" She rolled her eyes oh-so-dramatically. Want to know what happened yesterday? She followed the two teenage girls, stayed on the house of the 'crying one', and then now sitting on a tree branch near their classroom window. Yep, so boring.
Sakuno's P.O.V
"Ohayou, Sakuno!"
Here comes my loud best friend. But I still love her!
"Ohayou, Tomo-chan."
I greeted her with an epic poker face.
"Awww c'mon! Greet me a smile!"
I smiled at her.
"Don't force it!"
Ouch! My cheeks are being pulled!
"I-Itte..!"
"See? It woke you up..."
"A little…" She added as an afterthought. Nevertheless, I managed a small smile. My best friend really is sweet. Cheering me up, like that.
"Arigatou, Tomo-chan."
She flashed me a triumphant smile.
"Yay! You smiled!"
"Ohayou, Ryuzaki-chan!" Tachibana An, my other half of a best friend greeted me with a wink.
"Oh? What wrong? You seem sad," she frowned.
"Nothing much happened! Just some badass of a boyfriend broke up with her for a very shallow reason!" Tomo-chan raised her voice.
"That boy? I can't believe him! That pathetic excuse of a human male! Come, Sakuno! We'll go to a resident witch I know. I'll make sure, he'll suffer."
She said that with gritted teeth. It's really kind of scary.
"R-Relax, An-chan. I already…. Accepted what happened…."
-_- "No, you didn't!"
Both Tomo-chan and An-chan said in unison. I just sighed.
"Just…let him be…"
Two pair of eyes looked at me, then back to each other. You know what they did next? They just patted my head. Awww, we're like true sisters in a family...
"We'll just find a new one for you!" Tomo-chan assured.
"Oh! I heard a rumor yesterday! It's really interesting…so I rushed here to tell you both. Hehe,"
"Hmm? What will it be?" I asked.
"About the Tenshi? We already know that," Tomoka said beside me.
"Not that! Geez. It's a different one. A feather is involved,"
"Feather?" I asked once again.
An-chan nodded.
"What about a feather?" Shikino wondered.
"The girls…I heard them…They said when you ride a train at night, to go home of course, and only a very few passengers are present, and at the same time you're broken hearted too, a white crow will appear. It would flap its wings, drop a feather, and will immediately vanish,"
"Like a poof!" Tomo-chan finished with a chuckle. "But seriously, a white crow? Only black ones exist!"
"That's why it's a rumor, alright?"
"Hmm..white crow, huh? Interesting," Shikino formed a very disturbing grin.
"Ehem…As to finish my story, only a certain person will take notice of it. If he or she picks it up, they say, the right one for you will appear at your life, and the end. A happy ever after!"
"Really? That sounds a fairy tale crossover or something…"
"Maa…who knows…"
"Well…it might be true. And oh! Good timing! You always take a train home, right Sakuno? And you're broken-hearted, too. It might happen to you. It must!"
"T-That's impossible. It's just a rumor, An-chan."
"Nothing's impossible, dear." Shikino grinned once again.
-After School, Around 7 P.M.-
"Well…if I can't grant any wish today…"
A smirk was overlapped by a dark, evening shadow.
"The train sure is late," Sakuno checked her wristwatch. Fifteen minutes have already passed.
"Can't it hurry up? I'm tired already."
A sigh.
"Thank you for your patience. The train for Mita Dori, Tokyo is now approaching. You may now board the train, dear passengers. Have a safe trip!"
"Took them long enough; someone should really complain," A random person commented.
The brunette went inside the transportation, her school bag clutched on her hand.
"Hm? Am I the only passenger? That's odd," she looked around and then took a seat.
Are kara kono uta wo dareka ni kikasetakute
[Since then I wanted someone to hear this song]
Jibun no iyafon no kata hou wo kimi ni watasu
[I want to hand over my earphones to you]
Futari ima me wo tojite onaji uta kikeba
[If we close our eyes now, we will hear the same song]
"A message from kaa-san?"

Today, 7:25 P.M
From: Sakuno
Sure, mom ^_^

-Flap, Flap-
"Eh?" Chocolate brown orbs were greeted by a white owl perched on a human shoulder. The person-slash-owner turned out to be a girl with dark lavender hair that reached her waist, wearing a red-white long-sleeved dress that reached above her knees; she also wore a pair of fluffy doll shoes.
/ My dress is sooo awesome! Casual clothes! I'm soooo cuuutteee! / Shikino repressed her giggle. The feeling of wearing another set of cute clothes, how satisfying!
"W-White…" Sakuno muttered.
"Good evening, little girl" the young lady greeted.
"Ah….G-Good evening, too."
/ Is this the rumor? But…But…it only said an owl alone, not together with a person.. /
-Flap, Flap-
A flutter of wings.
A blink of an eye.
A sudden gust of wind.
'You'll find him soon'
The wind simply whispered.
A flutter of wings.
A fallen feather.
A vanish-ment alone.
A mere gust of wind.
Sakuno blinked. Twice. Alright... Is she dreaming? But…that's impossible. There's a pure white feather on her lap! How can you explain that?
The train stopped in another station. Doors immediately opened. Four paws of a feline passed Sakuno's seat, then settling on a seat several meters away from her.
"Karupin!" A voice cried, as the owner went inside the train. Several footsteps passed the brunette's seat again.
"Don't run away like that!" The owner scolded his pet.
"Mrow," it just wagged its tail.
Noticing a stare, the young lad faced her. A staring contest began.
"Is…she….your pet?" Sakuno asked, fidgeting.
"Yes," The stranger replied, taking a seat beside his cat.
She observed him; secretly, of course. A white Fila cap on his head, a simple white shirt topped with a light blue thin jacket; and a light brown casual jeans with a pair of earphones dangling on his neck.
He observed her. Not to obvious but not secretly either.
/ Must be from a certain school. /
"Mrow," the fluffy cat purred at the brunette's ankle. She smiled, caressing the feline's head.
The feather drops.
Both picked it up.
Two hands touched; the human warmth swirling.
"G-Gomen…" Sakuno immediately withdraw her hand.
"Here," The young lad offered.
"A-Arigatou,"
He handed her the feather.
"Your most prized possession?" He questioned.
-shakes head- "I…I just…found it earlier,"
… . .
"What's your name?"
"R-Ryuzaki Sakuno,"
"Echizen Ryoma,"
The train jerked or should I say suddenly stopped. Talk about cliché romance anime moments. The boy caught her in time, before she'll be tumbling on the floor.
"T-Thank y-you…" She madly blushed, clutching Ryoma's shirt for safety.
"You're so clumsy,"
She pouted. "It's because the train stopped!"
He just chuckled.
"Then, I'll accompany you home…Ryuzaki."
A chuckle secretly echoed. / Matchmaking is fun, too /
And the Romance Bud began to blossom once again.
"What did you do again, Shikino?" Yumi asked with suspicion.
"Oh…Nothing~" the wish granter replied in a sing-song voice. Yumi narrowed her eyes.
"Don't 'Nothing' me. I know that smile. It's your victory triumphant smile. You did something again, didn't you?"
"I'll be drinking tea now…La La La~" Shikino skipped happily.
Yumi raised an eyebrow.
Shikino stucked her head.
"Oh, and Yumi we'll have tea on a café sometime, ne?"
She flashed the cat-like panther an innocent smile.
"Shikino! What did you do? Oi! Shikino!"
.Owari.
