Page break means flashback

Wow, almost 3 months since the last time I updated this one, :O

Not like I neglect it though. X'D

3. Xion, Bluebird

Would I reach you if I reach out with my hands?

Hey, where are you right now?

I wonder if you're looking at this scenery

Because in the far memory I can gently remember it

Xion stood at the edge of the hill while holding a flower bouquet on her hand. Her cerulean eyes gazed at the sunset as the wind gently stroke her bare skin and make her soft black hair dancing on the wind. It s been a long time, a long, long time since she was here. 'How long is it since the last time I be here?' she wondered as she flipped her hair to behind her ear and shut her eyes.

"Xion, Xion," a boy with steel blue hair calling for her while shakes her body, his eyes looked worried and confused at the same time since the said girl isn't awake yet. Soon enough, pair of cerulean eyes revealed open behind the eyelids followed with a little yawn from the little black haired girl. The boy, sighed a little as he smiled a little, "Seriously, you're fell asleep while we play hide and seek?"

"Um.. I'm sorry. I'm not realized if I fell asleep," The just awoken Xion said as she rubbed her big teary eyes.

"Geez... You always like that," he poked her forehead and make her flinched a little and pouted.

"Am not!" She retorted, make him giggled.

"Anyway, if you've fully awoken now, come with me."

"Where to?" she tilted her head in wonder.

"Just follow me," he said, as he stood up and dusted him self and so does Xion. She patted her blue dress as she stood up and took his hand. The boy keeps walking toward the hill while holding her hand. Although Xion wondered where the boy going to took her, she just keep on silent until they finally made it to the top of the hill, Here we are! he exclaimed, Xion s eyes widened open in awe upon seen the beautiful sight in front of her, a sunset. Her face flushed while her cerulean eyes sparkled in joy,

"It's pretty!"

"I know right? It s pretty, just like you." He said with a smile and make Xion's face reddened even more when the compliment given. They both paused for a moment and as Xion open her mouth to spoke, he cut of, "I'm going to moved from this town," he said, make her shocked at the sudden statement, Soon. He finished her words and looks at the raven haired girl who still seemed in shock.

"W-when ?"

"Next week,"

'Right, it's almost ten years now.., ten years after you said it on this very place,' Xion said on her mind as she open her eyes again. It s still clear on her mind the promises that the boy said that he will come back when the cherry blossom blooms, but yet, he never come back nor he gives her any news about his whereabouts. She tried to call his relatives but no one knows either. Her lip curled into a frown as the thought of that boy comes back, 'Hey, I wonder if you re looking at the sunset too right now? Stupid Ienzo.'

You don't have to decorate it

You don't have to hide it

Just put your current thoughts Into the blue bird

Xion continue to walk toward the grave area wearing her blue dress that matched with her blue sandals. Blue, it was his favorite color and her's. And that is why she chooses to wear it for today, because today is special day for him, no, them, it s their birthday. The memories of their last birthday party before he moved slowly come back and overflowed in every step that she makes toward the Satsuki family's graveyard.

"Is that for me?" Ienzo blinked when Xion gives him a small box that neatly wrapped with a blue ribbon around it. And with a flushed face, she nodded her head regarding on his question. "Thank you," was his simple words but, it was his smile that make Xion feel happy even though she still sad at the fact that he s going to moved tomorrow which means this was their last time to share their birthday together. And that's make her face fell a little. Of course, this is not go unnoticed by him, What s with that face? Come on Xion, smile. He said, rubs her head, but she keep her gloomy face on. Noticed that she wasn't going to cheer up yet, Ienzo took something from his pocket and put it on Xion's neck.

"What's this?" she blinked and looked up at him before she turned her head back to the necklace that now hung on her neck. At the edge of it was a blue glass shaped like a bird.

"A Blue bird necklace, Because you re my blue bird, and always be"

That time, she didn't understand what he meant by her being his blue bird. And now, she knows that blue bird is a sign on luck. But still, what he's truly meant by it? Why he gives her the necklace? Too many questions but no answer, and maybe, that question will remain unanswered for eternity. She stopped right in front of the large tomb stone and put the flowers on it as she kneeled down and claps her hand, pray for his family,

It's already the end of the story

Good night

Now, if you slowly closed your eyes

Let's look at the continuation of a dream

Around several months ago, she finally got news about Satsuki family, his family though, it wasn't a good one. Her mother told her that Satsuki family got an accident at the day when they moved from Twilight Town; a truck crashed into their car, resulted it to be fall from the cliff. And her mother just got this news from Ienzo's long relatives who were her student. Heard the news, Xion's eyes widened in horror and she fell to her knees as tears drop to her pale cheek. It just likes a dream, or more likely a nightmare. She can't believes, her friend, that she already thought as a brother was now gone, and she even hasn't told sorry for calling him a meanie when they parted. And now, that word will never be reached him. For the rest of that day Xion been locked her self in her room, curled her body on the bed and closes her eyes, hoping that she could meet him, even it's just in dream.

(On the other side of reality)
(Shake, shake you are shaking)
(If it won't change)
(Would I reach you if I reach out with my hands?)

But she knew, they won't be back no matter how much she cries. And the dream will never turn into reality no matter how much she hopes for it. Whatever who has gone, gone. Xion opened her eyes and reach out her hand, gently stroke the stone, "Stupid Ienzo is stupid, you said you will come back. The cherry blossoms petals almost fell completely, the spring is nearly end but yet, I'm not see you anywhere, Liar! Liar!" she snapped and chewed her bottom lips as tears dripping on her cheek, "You re stupid, a big liar. You promises me, now, WHERE ARE YOU?!" she cried,

"Behind you," a familiar voice said, make her head snapped up and turned around to see a familiar face and familiar smile, "Don t make it sound like I'm dying already would you? It s hurt." He added as he took a step closer and put the flower on the grave before he pray. Looking at him who s now on her side, Xion nudged his arm with a tiny smile,

"Don t blame me, it s because you took long enough,"

One review yay XD
