Chapter 29:- The Time

Opening: Brave Heart - Ayumi Miyazaki(Cover by Pellek)

Ending: TIME TO GO - Taku Iwasaki

-The school of Uranohoshi had started their Culture festival as many people from different towns of Japan came to Uchiura to visit the school and to see their performance. Hanamaru was walking down the hallways of the school as she was looking for Jun, knowing that he'd be there early. She then went to the courtyard of the school to see him with Kanan as the two were sitting on a bench together, Hanamaru hid as she listened to them talk-

Kanan: Thanks for the sweater by the way. It's really comfortable.

Jun: Glad to know that you liked it.

Kanan: How did you know my size anyway?

Jun: Mari told me.

Kanan: That girl..

Jun: Aww~ You can't get mad at her, she really cares for you after all.

Kanan: I know but she can be such a pain sometimes.

Jun: Really?

Kanan: Maybe not to you because she doesn't bother you that much.

Jun: Well I think she's cute.

Kanan: What?!

Hanamaru: -Her eyes widened as she was surprised to hear what he said-

Jun: She is. You're cute too.

Kanan: S-Shut up.. -She blushed madly as she got embarrassed and looked away to the side-

Jun: Maru-chan is just as cute as you two are!

Hanamaru: Eh..? -She said quietly as her face got red as she put her hands on her face and got embarrassed for being called cute by a man-

Kanan: That I can agree.

Jun: Alright then. I think I have to go find Maru-chan.

Kanan: Alright, I'll see you later for the performance.

Jun: Sure. -He got up as he went to the direction where Hanamaru was and as he got inside the building, he looked to the side below him to see Hanamaru squatting down with her hands covering her ears and her eyes shut along with her face all red. Jun would smile and chuckle softly as he squatted down to her and petted her head lightly- Maru-chan?

Hanamaru: M-Maru isn't here, zura!

Jun: Wanna go get some ice cream together?

Hanamaru: O-Okay, zura.. -Jun would then hold onto one of her hand and pulled her up with him as he stood up and smiled at her as the two would then head out to get some ice cream together. Later on in the late afternoon as everyone was gathering in the school hall as they had their cameras and phones out as they were prepared to see the performance. The curtains to the stage was slowly opening as the crowd started to cheer and clap their hands together at the sight of Saitou Jun in front of a band of girls as they stared to play the song "Yume Tourou" and Jun started to sing as Maki and You were recording him sing as they used their phones to record him singing while Hanamaru watched him sing intently-

Ruby: This is your first time seeing him sing?

Hanamaru: Yeah. I'm kinda excited, zura!

Kanan: Well you're gonna love it for sure.

Aa kono mama bokutachi no koe ga sekai no hajikko made kieru koto naku

-After he sung, everyone cheered loudly as Hanamaru listened and was in tears from him singing-

Kanan: H-Hanamaru-chan?

Hanamaru: Y-Yes?

Kanan: You're crying..

Hanamaru: Eh? I-I am? I'm sorry, zura. T-The song was just very touching, zura.. -She laughed nervously as she wiped her eyes with her long sleeves from her uniform as she then sniffled softly and looked at Jun as he was about to sing another song as Jun then sang the song " 前前前世 " -

Have you finally opened your eyes? But why is it you still

won't meet my gaze?

"You're late," you say angrily... but even so, I got here as fast as I could-

My heart got here before my body could even make it.

Just the sight of your hair, your eyes... makes my chest hurt;

Breathing in this same moment with you, I don't want to let it go.

To that voice I've known since so long ago,

What should I say as my first words?

I'd begun searching for you many lives before you were even born;

Seting my sights on that awkward smile, I made it to where I am now.

Even if you were t lose everything and be scattered to the winds,

I'll never lose my way again - I'd just start searching again from step1-

Or maybe I should start the whole universe again from zero?

Where should I start relaying... the parts of this story that happened while you were asleep?

I've come to tell you a tale that spans may thousand a light year, but the second your form is reflected in these eyes...

I wanna joke and play around with a version of you you've never met;

I want to try loving you all the way down to your eternal pain.

We met at the far extremes of so many galaxies;

How should I grasp your hand to keep it from falling apart?

I'd begun searching for you lives before you were even born;

Setting my sights on that annoying voice and those tears, I made it to where I am now.

Once we're both here, on the night before our revolution, who could possibly stop us?

I'll never lose my way again - I'll hoist this flag from within your heart;

You stole from me my ability to ever give up!

I'd begun searching for you many lives ago;

Setting my sights on that awkward smile, I mad it to where I am now.

Even if you were to lose everything and be scattered to the winds,

I'll never lose my way again - I'd just start searching again from step 1,

Humming this song for as many light years as it may take!

-After a minute when he finished singing, Jun would then take a deep breath as he then spoke out to the audience-

Jun: Good afternoon everyone. I'm sorry for the late introduction but I'm Saitou Jun and the next 2 song I'm gonna sing will be for a few friends of mine who have always been by my side for many years and perhaps...The first girl I have ever loved. -He said with a smile as everyone then cheered and clapped as the whole school was surrounded by news casters as they were recording him talk and sing- I also want you all to understand that my life as a singer has come to an end as some of you may know this because of the internet or any social network as I am retiring from singing after today.

Hanamaru: W-What? He's gonna stop singing, zura? W-What does he mean by that Kanan-san, Ruby-chan?

Kanan: I thought he would've told you..

Ruby: S-Should we tell her?

Kanan: She deserves to know, Ruby-chan.

Hanamaru: T-Tell me what, zura? Y-You're both scaring me, zura..

Kanan: Jun has...A weak heart so he can't handle the pressure of having to sing in front of crowds of people, which will stress him out and make him have a heart attack.

Hanamaru: So you're saying he's..

Ruby: He is in pain, just by doing this. -Hanamaru was in tears as she had her hands on her mouth as she started crying, most of the people in the crowd were in tears as well but they smiled just to see Jun's final performance on stage as he then sang the song " スパークル "-

-In awhile after he took a deep breath as everyone was watching and were in tears of joy and sadness at the same time, Jun would then smile happily to everyone as he held the microphone with his hand-

Jun: My last song. " なんでもないや ".

-After he sung his last song, everyone that were in their seats stood up and clapped loudly as some of them cheered and whistled loudly but Hanamaru was sitting down as she was too depressed to get up-

Kanan: H-Hanamaru-chan? -Hanamaru got up from her seat as she then walked out of the hall and was in tears as she then walked passed Yoshiko-

Yoshiko: Z-Zuramaru..? -She looked back at Hanamaru who walked passed her in tears as she wanted to go after her but was stopped by Shinji-

Shinji: She wants to be alone for awhile.

-The curtains closed as many people walked out of the hall as most of the girls were crying while Jun looked out of the curtain to find Hanamaru-

Jun: Where is she?

Kanan: She ran out.

Jun: W-What do you mean?

Ruby: She's somewhere outside.

Kanan: We'll help you look for her, Let's go Ruby-chan! -Ruby and Kanan then ran around the school to search for Hanamaru as Jun did the same but with too much running around, he began to start coughing slightly as he started to have a hard time breathing and was sweating but he continued to search for Hanamaru as he then went to the school library and looked around as he saw her sitting on the floor with her face on her knees behind the front desk as he walked around the desk and went up to her as he sat down in front of her and was breathing heavily-

Jun: M-Maru-chan..?

Hanamaru: Why-

Jun: Hmm?

Hanamaru: Why didn't you tell me you were physically weak, zura?! -She asked loudly as she looked at him and was in tears-

Jun: -He was in shock as he started to panic a little- I-I'm sorry but I..

Hanamaru: "But" what?! If I knew you were that weak then I wouldn't have asked you to go out or keep me or my family company, zura!

Jun: I just couldn't find the right time to tell you. I'm really sorry.

Hanamaru: Knowing that today will be your last day of your singing career and to find out that you had a weak heart and body just hurts me so much, zura!

Jun: I'm sorry.. I really really am sorry for not telling you sooner but I just...I really did not want to see you like this. Especially in front of just me, so I thought at least with your friends next to you...You might feel a little bit less sadder perhaps.. I guess I was wrong and I made it worse. I'm so so sorry..

Hanamaru: How is that something I can forgive you, zura? The time we went out together, you must've been in pressure, zura! I could have possibly killed you but you just smiled and pretended nothing was wrong, zura! How do you think I would feel, knowing that you may have fainted of a heart attack or asthma during our meetup, zura?!

Jun: I-I don't know...I- -Before he could finish his sentence, got blurry as he was sweating even more-

Hanamaru: J-Jun-kun..? -She looked at him as she noticed that he seemed weaker than before as he would then faint on Hanamaru's chest as she blushed slightly, not knowing what happened. Her eyes widened as she quickly put him to the side and felt his heartbeat beating rapidly and his breathing was unbalanced, she started to tear up- Jun-kun!

-Students and adults that were near the library ran to the library to see what had happened as Hanamaru had Jun in her arms as she was crying-

Hanamaru: H-He needs a doctor.

Man 1: Quick! Someone call an ambulance and get a teacher in here!

Student 1: I'm on it! Sensei!

Woman 1: H-Hello? Nishikino medical department? W-We need an emergency ambulance immediately! Saitou Jun has passed out!

Hanamaru: -She was crying loudly as she held onto Jun in her arms as one of the female students were comforting her- I-I'm sorry Jun-kun.. I-It's my fault, zura..!

-TO BE CONTINUED-
