He were happy as he chatted with the people. Talking about what happened in their lives. The girl standing away from him, smiling sweetly at him. The people attention avert to the girl, making him turn around. Their eyes met.

As he stares at the girl, confusion was on his face that soon changes into a surprised one. She were there, with him. Turning his body as he smiled back at her before running to the girl, arms open. Engulfing her with a warm hug, burying his face on her neck.

"You're here."

The girl chuckled, "You're also here." seconds later, he broke the hug.

"So..." the girl started, staring at his orbs.

"So?"

"Isn't it unfair?" she said, starting to walk while the boy followed her.

"What's unfair?" he tilted his head, confused in his tone.

"I told you my name, but you didn't tell me yours" the girl spinned to face the boy, looking at him as they stopped. The sunset light highlighted their faces.

The boy flinched, blush appeared on his cheeks as he rubbed his nape, looking away from her eyes, "Should I tell you now?"

"I think you should." she giggled.

"Then...

My name is..."

Taking a deep shaky breath, she stands up. Eyes still fixed on the sitting boy. The eyebags under her eyes were big as she didn't sleep all night, thinking if she'll bury or leave him sitting. But choose the latter.

After today, she'll leave him to go with the strange creature that took his identity.

"I know I promised to myself... b-but.." lowering her head, "I'm sorry.."

Walking to the bed and reach for the blanket, then back in front of him wrapping it to his body. Backing a little bit and bow while she gripped at her bag. She decided to not wait for the tomorrow to come and leave right now. She already took her 50th deep breath, before she hesitantly turn around to exit the hut. After she leave, she take a last look.

Her new journey starts, leaving the boy with an apple in his hand.

-------

After three days.

At last! she arrived at the warm and beautiful place, already missing the boy she leave behind. Making a scene inside her head about what would his reaction if he really reach this place. Would he cry in happiness? What would he do next if he were with her? Who would be the people he chooses to be part of his life? Where would he live?

Shaking her head to focus, this isn't the time for crying. She already used all day to cry, but even if she cry now there'll be no tears.

A day passed before she found a village.

Approaching the woman who were washing clothes beside the river, "Um.. excuse me?"

The woman stopped what she's doing and entertained the girl, y/n asked and the woman answer. After they talked, she realized she were in the village of Ninannah. But the woman never saw the white haired boy with green eyes.

She walked further inside the village, asking anyone if they had seen the boy. But as the day end, she didn't hear the words she wanted to hear. That they saw him and he goes to that way. Now, where she go next?

She asked someone, what are the places around this village but decided to go to the Town Of Yanome. She knew it was a beautiful place so she didn't waste time and rushed there.

-------

She awed, everywhere she look, it was beautiful and bright. No wonder her friends wanted to go here.

Something caught her eyes and nose, the Udon Restaurant. It smells nice that makes her stomach to grumble. Then it hit her, she literally didn't eat for two days.

Licking her lips as she rub her empty belly, "Let's see if we're lucky." digging her hands inside her pockets, scanning all of it. Then she smiled, feeling the shape and texture of coins. "Guess I'm lucky today." she whispered before entering the store.

Burping shamelessly, earning a disgusted look from the people who heard it, "Uwaa~ I'm full~" she moaned, now rubbing her full and stuffed belly. Glancing at the dishes on the table, she thought, 'I'm already alone now so... why not live as a thief? My life will be full with action as the civil guards chase me, right'

But she leave the restaurant with bill paid. She doesn't want a messy life. She just want to have a peaceful life with that creature she's searching. Should she start finding him now?

"A THIEF!!" someone shouted making her jolt. Heartbeat fastens as she look around. It's making her doubt herself that maybe her unconsciousness did the stealing. But she didn't steal anything, did she?

Then someone collided with her body, they stumbled and fall. The other one winced and y/n closes her eyes. She felt pain on her back, butt, and head. It feels like bleeding. Opening her eyes to check who or what hit her.

Her eyes met a blue one, it was a girl. She's pretty. Blue orbs, curly hair tied as a messy bun and long eyelashes. Something shiny caught y/n's eyes. Her necklace. Looking down to her neck, noticing the necklace has a name on it. The girl looks like an individual who don't care of what the others view her, living with freedom.

It reads, "Azumi"
