Let the Stars Fall

Chapter 54: Itsuki and Kazuha

Itsuki's POV.

I can't believe it was already six years ago, when I first met Kazuha.

During that time, we are all in a school trip.

During that time, Yotsuba got lost.

I decided to search for Yotsuba.

Ichika: Are you sure?

Miku: Won't you get lost?

Itsuki: Don't worry! I can just use my face to search for her.

Nino: O-Okay then. Be careful Itsuki!

Itsuki: I will!

Ever since that day.............

I began to change.

When I was searching for Yotsuba, I never imagined that it will be so crowded.

I struggled to find her and eventually, I got lost.

So lost that I also forgot how to come back to the others.

With that realization, I couldn't help but cry in the corner.

I just wanted to find Yotsuba.

But I can't find her. Maybe she was already found and now..............

I was the one who is missing. Who is lost.

Itsuki: *sob* *sob* *sob*

But then, as if like a guardian angel..........

A boy with hair as white as freshly fallen snow and eyes that are as red like rubies, arrived.

He is wearing a brown jacket, white shirt and black pants. A boy who is just around my age.

Itsuki: An angel............? Is he an angel?

That is what I first thought due to his hair color. I also thought not talk to him, but his eyes aren't lying. They are sincere and pure.

He asked if I was okay and I told him that I was lost. He was also lost. Looking for his friend and sister.

I clinged to him in order to not get lost and have some company. We also introduced ourselves.

We went to a nearby shrine and paid our respects. We sat on a bench and talked about various things.

After that, we went to the temple as Kazuha said it is the time for them to show up.

I didn't knew what he meant but then..........

What he meant was the stars in the night sky. We shared that moment and that moment was forever ingrained in my memory.

I also can't help but look at him. His white hair is glowing like the moon, his eyes are shining like a ruby, his skin is complimenting the moonlight, his smile as he looks upon those millions of stars.
