Next chapter of 'Why didn't you tell me, Natsuki?' is here! Enjoy!
There were a lot of people at the funeral. In fact, almost the whole town was there. No, scratch that, the entire town was there! Well, the town people were kind people and they attend every single funeral despite the deceased not being related to them so it's not surprising to see the whole town at Natsuki's funeral, yet Shizuru was surprised to see so many people. As she neared the coffin, she saw them, the HIMEs including their most important person and some extras like Chie and Aoi, in front of the coffin, crying. Shizuru felt like crying too. Holding Chikane's hand, she ran towards the coffin. When she reached the coffin, her eyes immediately caught sight of the blunette's picture. All of a sudden, her legs felt weak and she fell to her knees. Natsuki… Natsuki. Natsuki! Her tears fell and she started crying her eyes out, just like the HIMEs were doing. Why did you leave me, Natsuki? Why didn't you tell me, Natsuki? Natsuki! Her crying soon turned into sorrowful wailing. Of course, naturally that would affect the HIMEs too, as their cries also turned into wails. The other people, upon hearing those wails so full of sorrow, slowly started to cry as well. Crying for a stranger, someone you totally don't know, may seem ridiculous but they could not help but pity the stranger who has such a sad past and led such a tragic life. Why? Why must this poor girl die? Why must this poor stranger lead such a sad life? Why? They asked themselves, including the HIMEs. The answer is simple. This is life, reality. It was those cruel thoughts that sent everyone wailing louder and grieving for the tragic stranger. After the funeral ended, everyone returned home. Red and puffy eyes were seen everywhere, sobs and sniffles were heard everywhere.
Shizuru didn't return home. Instead, she left Chikane with Mai and walked to the cemetery where Natsuki's grave stand. The citizens had made Natsuki a grave and held her funeral at the cliffs. She looked at the words on the stone.
Kuga Natsuki
Enter the world on August 15, left the world on December 10
A tragic stranger to us, A loving and caring friend to others, one to be remembered forever.
She felt the tears coming again and fell to her knees, hands covering her face and cried again. I miss you, Natsuki! I want you! Why did you have to leave? Ikezu, Natsuki! She thought as she cried. She looked up at her grave after the tears stopped but they streamed down her cheeks again when she read the words on her grave. Shizuru didn't even bother to hide the tears anymore and just let them fall to the ground. Natsuki, Why? Suddenly, she felt a warm hand wipe her tears away.
"Don't cry, Shizuru. Why are you crying?" she heard a familiar husky and rough voice say. Her eyes widened. Natsuki?
Okay, that's it. It's a bit suck-ish though, this chapter, but I like it. Hope you guys do too.
