YUZURU HANYU: PHANTOM OF THE ICE

THINK OF ME

September 19, Year 2008, TOKYO

The phone suddenly rung, shaking both Mira and Yuzuru from their thoughts.

Both of them laid there eyes on the phone of the living room, that rung irritatingly.

"I'll get it." Mira said, clearly seeing the darkness that still shadowed her husband's eyes.

"Hello?" She said picking up the phone.

"Hi, pardon the interruption, I need to speak to... Yu-Yuzuru Hanyu? I found something he owned."

Mira's eyes widened at those words. This was the worst moment for something like that to happen.

But she couldn't lie, could she?

"Yuzu, it's for you." She whispered, giving the phone over at Yuzuru, who stood frozen on his spot.

He took hold of the phone delicately, letting the locket with the fragment of the mask down on the table besides him.

"Speaking."

"Hello, sir. I am a figure skater trainee, and I found a journal that has your name on it. I would like to give it back to you."

Yuzuru's eyes softened. It myst have been something very dear to him, to make him react this way.

"A-Alright, you can send it to where I live. I can give you the address."

"Please do so. I- I am writing down."

Yuzuru looked at Mira before speaking. She had heard the whole conversation between the two, and she saw the insecure, pleading look in Yuzuru's eyes.

She nodded once from across the room, not able to feel anything but nervous.

She would have to remember.

And secretly, she yearned to remember.

Kuua shook my arm gently, cursing to herself.

"You sleepyhead, you must get ready already. Tonight's the event." Kuua said again next to my ear.

I scrunched my nose and sat up on my bed irritated. "Yeah yeah, I'm up..." I murmured as Kuua sat next to me on the bed, holding her belly and huffing.

"You know, I'm the pregnant one in this household. And yet you're the one who oversleeps." She said ironically, as I grimaced at her.

"You must stop using the little human inside you as an excuse, dumbass." I growled at her and checked the clock besides the bed.

12:31

Wow, I really did sleep longer than expected.

"You have to be at the rink by 5. Get yourself together." Kuua said with a smirk and patted my back, standing up slowly from the bed and exiting the room.

As soon as she left the room, I stood up shakily from the bed, my head off to what had happened last night.

Needless to say, I had training again, and I also met Yuzuru.

Who, for some reason, was very angered. I had done nothing, but still, his way was cold and harsh, as if I was a stranger.

But tonight, I wouldn't meet him. I had the event, where I would skate by myself. And I looked forward to it, after all the effort I had put to it, with both Coach Satoko and Yuzuru.
