hello! maiden here. THE SHSAT IS FINALLY OVER!

to celebrate, I wrote another one-shot. thanks to the people that reviewed and made it up to my expectations. I LUV YOU GUYS! -no homo-

anyways, thanks for the support, and this is a story of my two precious OCs. Too bad this is their 'nap' time. They would have alot of fun reading about themselves ^-^

since they are not here, I'll do the disclaiming.

Kasumi :but there is nothing to disclaim here...

K-kasumi! I thought you were asleep

Kasumi: Midnight snack.

=.=;;

Kasumi: well? carry on.

uh..sure...

As the sunlight shined down on the world above, a little girl kneel down on two graves, holding a patch of wild flowers. There were lilies and roses on the graves, and a picture of a man and a woman. The little girl sobbed.

"I'm alone mommy, daddy. I want to be with you. With you up there in the skies. Please wait for me" she said through sobbing.

I'm Kasumi Tsukiya, and I'm Japanese. I moved to America when I was 5, and now, I speak English pretty well. Just a year ago, my parents died of a car crash on the way home. Their body was no more after the crash. After the funeral, I had to live with my aunt and my uncle in their beach house in Chicago. Ever since, I never spook. I only point and roamed around places. After moving in to my aunts, I stayed in my room for a whole week. Staring out to the endless sky. My aunt comes in every so often to check on me. That is the only time I looked at her, and nodded her away. After my aunt goes to the day care and my uncle goes to work, I would wander out into the beach. There I would cry after thinking about all the times my parents were with me. It hurts, really bad. I hated it. I want to get away from this pain.

8:45 pm

It was dinner time now, and I sat quietly at the table. Nibbling away the skin of the fried fish.

"Kasumi, I have some news for you." My aunt said carefully. I looked up at her, with wide eyes willed with no feelings at all.

"What is it?" I said softly. I realized that was the first time I spook in days, weeks, months maybe. My aunt looked at me with a bit of a shock, but recovered and went on.

"I want you to go to school. You're in middle school right? I want you to finish 7th grade" she said smiling. I just looked. No emotions, no feelings. Just a look.

"Why? Why would you want me to be there, when I can just be here? I know enough to live. There is no point in school if I don't need it, am I right?" I said with a straight face.

"B-but you can do more than that. There is a lot of things in this world that is yet to be known." She was trying...she was really trying. Just to make me go to some school. Why can't you just understand that I want to just die and leave this world? There is nothing I want here. Everything I want left me, and I want to chase after it. I want it back. I want to be with the things I love the people I love.

I sat there in silence. I didn't want to think about something so unnecessary.

"You can go think about this. I'm sure your parents would have done the same as I would. She left the room. I put the empty dishes in the sink, and went to my room. The stars were out today. I wondered. Should I go? Or should I not?

It was fall again and school is starting. After the talk about a month or two ago, Aunty convinced me to go to school. It was pretty hard for her.I walked up the new school, and stood near the big oak tree near the front yard. School doesn't start until about another 10 minutes. I saw some groups of girls hugging and talking. Probably about finally meeting each other, but I didn't care. Then something hit me.

Oh god, I'm soo sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you. Are you ok?" She said picking me back up on my feet.

"I'm ok" I said brushing off the dust.

"Oh, are you new here?"

"Yes… why?"

"I'm new too. Since I don't have any friends, can u be my friend?" she held out her hand. I smiled weakly and took it.

"Great! I'm Isuma by the way. I moved in about 1 year ago"

"I'm Kasumi."

"Come on, lets go to the auditorium to grab some good seats." she pulled me to the doors, and went in.

The school was pretty big I guess. There were about 5 floors, with a roof top. There was a meeting held in the auditorium. After getting all our schedules, we went to class.

As I left, there was a group of girls waving at their parents for photo graphs. They make me sick. They mock me for having parents that are still alive. I hurried on up the stairs.

Class went like any other classes. The teacher introduced themselves, and we were given a sheet of items to bring. Since I already have all of them, I got a week worth of rest. Classes ended early because it was the first day. I looked out the window to the sky.

'Mom, Dad, is you still watching me? Are you still waiting for me? I gave the sky a last glance, and then I stood, and left. On the way down the stairs, I felt drowsy. I yawned a few times down the stairs, and then my body took over. I fell down. Down all the way. Rolling further and further down, until there was a wall.

I saw light, and then...pure darkness...

I woke up in the nurse's office. There was a thin white cloth wrapped around my head with an ice pack. My arms were cut and bruised. My legs were totally paralyzed. I looked around with half my eyes opened.

There was a boy there, on the chairs by the wall. He seemed to be dozing away. He was wearing a hood, so I couldn't really see his face. I saw a piece of hair sticking out, black hair. I tried to sit up to get a better view, but I felt pain all over my body, and fell back down. The boy woke up.

"Are you ok" He asked rubbing his eyes. I nodded.

The nurse came in the room. She wore a white dress, with flats and glasses.

"Oh, you woke up! I was afraid that you would never open those eyes again"

"W-what happened?" I looked around.

"You fell down the stairs honey. "Kasumo here, found you lying there unconsciously, so he carried you here, and told me to check on you. You seemed to have been under a lot of stress, which caused you to be sleepier and fall down the stairs." She explained. I looked over at the boy 'Kasumo'

He didn't seem like a bad person. The fact that he saved me from this...

"What time is it?" I slowly regained my conscience.

"School ended 2 hours ago, sleeping beauty" He said smirking at me. I glared at him.

"I need to get back home...It's my turn to set the table, and if I don't go home soon, auntie would be worried." I said softly, trying to get up.

"You can't go home like this...I'll help you home" He stood up and held on to me. "Can you walk?" I nodded a bit, and got up.

My legs were a bit unsteady, but they soon let me walk about a few steps before tumbling a bit again and again.

When we were outside, I walked carefully behind him. Around the corner was a motorcycle chained to the rail attached to the wall.

"Are we allowed to ride that at our age?" I asked a bit worried.

"We'll be fine. I drove this thingy ever since last year. People around here know me, so you wouldn't need to worry about that." He threw me a helmet.

"So, where do you live?" I told him. He smiled a bit, and sat on the front.

"Hop on" He said starting the engines. I did.

"Hang on tight" He drove out to the road.

The ride felt like nothing I ever felt before. Wind and buildings past me leaving amazement in my eyes. Then I started thinking.

"Why did you help me?" I asked him.

"Because I wanted to" He replied. What a lie, I thought.

"Why didn't you left me die there? I barley even know you, and yet, you help me" I said softly.

"Because…." He started.

"Because?" I said louder. He chuckled

"Because you're just like me" He said. I saw a smile on the corner of his face.

"Just like me?" I asked, pulling closer to him

"Yup, I thought of dying as long as I can remember"

"Why?" Why would he want to die? His life is perfect! He has friends, kindness, and … a family.

"Because of my parents…" He said softly

"What happened?"

"They are divorced. They were fighting over me about the fight in school. I was in a fight because there were people bullying my little brother. I got hurt, and my parents kept on fighting, day over day. And soon, they divorced. My dad left, and mom soon got sick and is now in the hospital." He said holding back tears. I wrapped my arms around him, and rested my head on his back.

"I'm sorry…" I said holding back the feeling I had when my parents died.

"It's ok. What happened to you?" He asked

"…My parents...died" I looked out into the open sky.

"Oh…" There was dead silence. I saw my house on the edge of the ocean cliff side.

"That's your house right?" I nodded.

He pulled in on the gates, and looked.

"Nice house you got there" He complimented.

"Thanks…." I got out of the motorcycle, and handed him the helmet

"Thanks for the ride" I waved as he started the engines again.

When I got to the door, my aunt was waiting for me. She had her hands on her hips, and she was smiling at me. I had suddenly felt a shiver down my spine.

"So, made friends already?" She said grinning

"Um..yeah" I went to my room, and put my stuff down.

"Want to go for a walk on the beach?" She said, entering my room. I nodded slightly, and followed her out.

The walk was pretty nice. There was the sunset with seagulls flying around. I couldn't help but think of the times that me and my mom would do the same thing. I looked at the sea and the sun setting down.

"You're still thinking about your parents aren't you" My aunt started. It's weird how she knows how your feeling.

"..." I didn't have anything to say about my parents. They were gone, and that's it.

Then...something happened

"Well hello there pretty ladies, care for a swim?" a guy said. He was drunk, me and my aunt knew that right away. But then there was two more guys there,and walked up to us. Auntie seemed to have gotten away quick enough, but I didn't, and was pushed down to the ocean.

I held my breath on the way down, and shut my eyes. Soon, the water came, and in I went to the ocean floor. I fell all the way, till there was a little Cliff hanging on the left side of the sea wall. I opened my eyes. The surface was about a few yards away. I didn't sink that much I guess. But I'm running out of air.

Mom...Dad...I'm almost there. I'm almost there in the skies. Where you both are waiting for me. I want to get there soon.
I smiled one last time as the last breath of air escaped from my mouth.

I slowly opened my eyes..and found myself in my bedroom. my hair was still soaking wet, but my clothing was different. I was under my sheets, and resting. I forgotten everything that happened.

"Your awake?" I heard a voice from the corner of my room. And there he is, with this pitch black loke of hair hidden behind a hood, Kasumo.

"W-why are you here? And what am I doing here?" I sat up and pain came again, and I coughed.
"Well, all is that I came back because you left your bag, and I found your 'aunt' screaming for help that your fell in the ocean of something. And apparently, I rescued you just in time before you were totally died"

Then in came my aunt holding a bowl of soup. She nearly dropped it when she saw me awake.

"Oh dear god your are ok!" she said placing the food down and hugging me.

"You should be lucky you were alive! This Young man here was so heroic that he jumped to save you! When he got you out, you were barley breathing, luckily he knew how to do CPR, which saved you"

I looked at him, he was hiding his face in the hoddy, but I can tell that he was blushing. I can't blame him

Whoa, did she say CPR? like...lip to lip for air...oh..my god...

The thought came and past my mind in an instant. I blushed, hard.

My aunt soon left the room, leaving me with kasumo. I picked up the soup and blew on it.

"You saved me...again" I said. He walked up and sat on my bed side.

"Why would I leave you to die? I told you how you and I are similar. I don't want to see you dying just because of lossing something important. You have a life to live. Life is a precious thing, my mother would say. You only have one chance of living it. The way you want. You can't end your life, for someone that tried to save it."

Then, at that point...I felt it. Tears.. Actual tears. The first tear ever since my parents left. Warm chunks of water came running down my cheeks and down. He let my in his arms, and I took it.

"I-I'm sorry...for everything...your the reason I'm still alive. Thank you" I said smiling.

The first smile, the true smile, thanks to you.

o -o...that was so sad...i was crying the half way mark to the end.

but seriously D: my friend told me this story and I just got to write it down.

kasumi: I'll admit it wasn't bad. But why did you make KASUMO DO CPR ON ME?

because you were about to die?

kasumo: what's going on? -yawn-

finally woke up?

kasumo: got a problem?

...i know what your are going to say so I wouldn't continue that

kasumo: good...and why is Kasumi's face red? is maiden-sama get paint on your face again?
