Shizuru's POV
5 years after High School Graduation.
word - song lyrics
word - Shizuru's flashback
word - Shizuru's current thoughts
After graduation, I entered Fuuka University taking a course on business as I am going to take over my family business.
Natsuki left Fuuka after graduation leaving Alyssa to Miyu at their newly purchased 2-storey house with a backyard for Kiyoran to play.
She left without saying a word, just a simple notes.
'To World Domination.'
Since then, I haven't heard any news from Natsuki. Alyssa didn't know what happened to her sister, even her whereabouts.
After finishing school, I immediately took over the business and secretly searched Natsuki by hiring private detectives but unfortunately, they couldn't find any trace of her. It's like Natsuki wanted to hide from me.
When Natsu graduated, we formally told our parents that we weren't meant for each other as Natsu found her girl in life named Hina during his University years.
We never talked to Natsuki about their situations as twins but we made sure to inform Alyssa about it. She was happy as she met her stepbrother and got to know each other.
Occasionally Natsu and his dad visit Alyssa to check on her well-being while her sister is away.
Today is exactly 5 years since Natsuki disappeared from my life.
I visited the garden inside Fuuka Gakuen, where we first met.
I was resting while enjoying the breeze when suddenly I heard a song. it gave me a nostalgic feeling when Natsuki was still beside me.
-
And you alright? Can you hear me?
Daremo inai senrozoi wo nazotteku
-
I was lying under a Sakura tree here in Fuuka, this is the place I went after Natsuki and I had the very first fight in our high school year.
That was when I snapped at her for dumping Mayo on the food I prepared for her, she broke into my apartment declaring she was hungry, and said
"Cook dinner for me Zuru" and immediately sit on my sofa while playing on my phone lying on my table.
After some time, I finished preparing the dinner and called her. She stood up and grabbed something from her bag, I looked at her with a questioning look when she got Mayo. I immediately snapped when I saw her dumped evilly the mayo she got on my precious masterpiece. That was the first time I never talked to her for days and I even posted a notice on the bulletin board that she was banned from this whole apartment building for a month.

Oogesa ni naite
Waratte hoshikute
Senmei de itai omoide wo dakishimeteiru
Sayonara yori zutto taisetsu na
Kotoba de tsutaetain da
Arifurete demo tokubetsu de

"Zuru, what is your dream?" you suddenly asked.
I remember you asked me that while assisting me walking on one of our adventures at Seven Waterfall of Kawazu.
"World domination together with the person I want to spend the rest of my life with." I jokingly replied.
"I want to travel and learn many things. Making many friends while on my journey," you said while staring at the blue sky.
For the first time, I saw you smile genuinely, your hair even your hidden bangs danced gracefully on a spring wind.
You left.
You left me without a word.

Hora kono me janakereba
Mienakatta mono ga
Doushite? Afureteku

I was peacefully spending my Sunday morning in my apartment when you showed up and out of nowhere you said
"Zuru, let's go somewhere!"
You dragged me into the forest inside Fuuka Gakuen claiming you would bring me to your secret hideout. After some painful trekking, I saw a beautiful flower bed on an abandoned house and a lake not from afar.
"Natsuki," I called you.
"Hmm," you answered without opening your eyes.
"Do you like flowers?"
"Of course. Because you taught me how to value them." you simply answered and I smiled proudly.
You stood up and watched the flower bed when a strong wind blew. You looked up and suddenly said
"I learned to love them because the person I like also loves them." You continued.
I never really paid attention to what you were saying because I was too focused on watching your side profile.
You looked beautiful smiling, Natsuki.

akara mou ichido umarekawarou tomo
Mata watashi wa koko wo erabun darou
Dakara anata to mata meguriattara
Mou hanasanai ima wo erabun darou
Yakusoku nante nakutemo
Kodoku ni mayou hibi demo
Sono namida datte daijoubu, kitto yoru ga akeru yo
-
Natsuki, I feel so lonely without you here beside me.
Where are you right now?
I'm still waiting here at the place where we first met. Even if you never promise to be back here I'm still waiting for you.
-
And I'm alright (I'll be alright)
Yeah, I hear you (I care about you)
Nobita kami wo kaze ga karakatteru
Zenbu imi ga aru yo
Tachidomatta hibi mo
Ima sara wakatte anata ni oitsuita yo
-
"Fujino Shizuru"
"When I feel lonely, I think of the day I saw your beautiful smile, for the first time I was captivated by it. I can't help but fall in love with you over and over again."
Now I understand your words that day. Your feelings for me. Your everything.
"Baka Natsuki," I whispered to no one.

Hora kono me janakereba

Dakara anata to mata meguriattara
Mou hanasanai ima wo erabun darou

"Zuru, I will be away for days."
"To where?"
"Shizuoka." you simply replied biting the lollipop.
"Pardon?"
"Lake Motosuko."
"That was fucking far away, Natsuki."
"Wow I never know you cursed, and it's fucking sexy." she mockingly said.
"IKEZU." I pouted.

Anytime, anywhere, yah (Doko ni itemo)
Anytime, anywhere (Waratte minute)
I'll be there (Me wo tojireba itsumo)
Anytime, anywhere, yah (Arukidashita)
Anytime, anywhere (Watashi wo mitete)
I'll be
Semete aitai yo nante iwanai kara
Nee kyou dake wa omoidashite ii ka na
Dakara anata to mata meguriattara
Mou mayowanai ima wo erabun darou
-
"Zuru, your mom can be painful sometimes."
"That's because you were teasing her the moment you entered our house silly."
"Naah! I'd rather tease her than be teased by her. Wanna grab some food?"
"You can always help me with your homework before grabbing food. No one asked you to go to Wisteria Tunnel and forgot about your homework, you know?" I complained.
"Teehee."
-
Yakusoku nante nakutemo (Anytime, anywhere)
Kodoku ni mayou hibi demo (Anytime, anywhere)
Konna ni mune ga itai no wa (Anytime, anywhere)
Anata to ita akashi ka na
-
If we ever meet again, I won't ever let you go again, idiot.
Not when my feelings are overflowing.
-
Zettai nante nakutemo (Anytime, anywhere)
Itsu demo todoiteiru kara (Anytime, anywhere)
Sono namida datte daijoubu, kitto yo ga akeru yo (Anytime, anywhere)
I'm whispering our lullaby for you to come back home
-
"Zuru, I've been wondering for a while now." you stopped vacuuming your carpeted floor and looked at me wiping the sweat on your forehead.
"Hm?" I stopped reading my book and looked up at you.
"You never really called me Suki. I mean we both agree to call each other by our nicknames but never once did I hear you calling me Suki."
"Who knows." I shortly answered.
"Baka."
"Ikezu."
Come back, please.
Baka Natsuki
Sukidakara.
