RECAP:
As we continued to walk, night fell so we decided the find a place to spend the night. And that was when god thought it would be nice to have some pouring rain soak us, whoopty f*cking doo… I may be the legendary warrior of water, but that doesn't mean I love getting drenched in the rain.
"God damn it!" I cursed under my breath as we ran toward a cave for shelter. Once we were out of the rain, I took off my hat, pulled my hair out of its ponytail and attempted to squeeze some water out of my hair. Suddenly…
*BOOM! CACKLE! FLASH! RUMBLE!*
"KYAAAH!"
My body instantly shrank into a ball, desperately trying to block out the thunder. I flinched every time the lightning lit up the cave. I shivered as my wet clothes pulled the left over warmth from my body. The thunder rumbled again and my hands flew up to cover my ears. I don't want to remember that night!
FLASHBACK
"Mom! Dad! Thank you for the presents and taking me out to celebrate my birthday! I love you! Let's stay together forever, ok?" I giggled and smiled. My parents laughed in response. It was October 8, my 7th birthday! Ai was too young, so she was at home with Ume-baa-chan. I sat back into the car seat, humming one of my favourite songs.
"Honey? Will we be ok in this storm?" My mom seemed worried.
"Don't worry, we'll be off the highway soon." My dad reassured her.
"Yuki? Are you alright?" Mom looked over her seat to check on me.
"Mhmm! I'm with Mom and Dad, so the thunder and lightning doesn't scare me!" I grinned and she chuckled. I may have said that, but even so, the storm was getting worse. The rain was pouring down so hard that even with the wipers on the fasted speed, the glass was still blurry. The road was slick with water, and I felt the car slip a few times. The thunder rumbled overhead and I jumped when the lightning flashed.
"Ho-honey?!" I looked up as the car slipped on a sharp turn and smashed into a telephone pole. The car jerked forward violently, and I was pulled back by my seat belt. My dad was passed out on the driver's wheel, but I didn't see the blood. My mom was frantically trying to unbuckle her seat belt, but all I could do was sit there in shock.
"Mo-" I was cut off by my mom unbuckling my seat belt, shoving open the door and pushing me out the car.
"But-"
"Yuki, remember we love you…" Her smile was filled with love but also…grief.
"I-"
"Go!" I stumbled out, but I didn't get very far before the car erupted in flames. The lightning bolts struck down, adding electricity to the heat.
"MOM! DAD!"
FLASHBACK END
Kouji's POV
I was checking out the cave, when I heard the scream. I ran back to find Yuki shivering and cowering as the thunderstorm outside raged on.
"What's wrong?" I walked towards her, confused.
"Kou-AAAH!" She glanced at me for a split second, then the lightning lit up her face and I saw pure fear in her teary eyes.
"…Are you afraid of thunderstorms?" I crouched beside her.
"I-" Her sentence was again cut off by another lightning bolt. She squeaked and grabbed the first thing she could find. And that happened to be me…
"Yu-Yuki!? Wha…" I immediately felt my face heat up, but I trailed off when I noticed her trembling in my arms, her face buried in my shirt. Suddenly, realization crossed her face, and she clumsily stumbled away from me.
"Kouji? S-sorry about that! I- I was…um…"
"…Here, try this." I took off my bandana, tied it over her eyes and covered her ears. "Does that help?" She replied with a feint nod.
"Th-Thanks…" My face flushed again.
"I…uh…am going to go and check on…something…" I stuttered.
"Kouji? I can't hear you really clearly but…can you sit here with me until the storm dies down a little?" Without saying a word, I walked over to her and sat beside her. Yuki was still shivering and trembling, but she seemed calmer, so I guess that's a good thing, right?
"Thank you, Kouji…" She whispered.
"Yuki…I…" I trailed off when I felt a weight leaning on my shoulder, it was Yuki. And…my face turned bright red…great…
"What are you-" My sentence was cut off by a soft snore, *chuckle* I guess she fell asleep. Oh well, just for tonight, I'll be her pillow.
