• Cherry Blossom's First Petal

A loud sound of a knife hitting the ground the resonate around the room as a girl with long sky blue hair fall into her knees and tears falling to the floor. Her hands rest on the floor and she clenched them,

"Why...?" Tears falling down her cheeks nonstop ever since that event, "Why can't I hurt myself!?" She felt herself her herself more and more, wanting to just end her life without her light. The tightness on her chest almost stopping her chest from beating, the feeling of her heart aching being crumbled by something and fall, the lump feeling on her throat, making it hard to breath.

Her loud cries filled the dark room, a very broken cry, begging her voice, begging to be killed, dead.

Death is her only wish.

"Sister... It feels weird." Mara said as she look at the mirror. Yuki is doing her hair into a bun because she's bored and Mara's hair is looking pretty today.

Yuki hum, "You've never been in this hair style after all. I understand." She said while cleaning the baby hairs on Mara, "Look at me."

Mara turn around on her seat and look at Yuki with a question look, "Does it look good on me?"

Yuki hold her breath and her eyes widened a little,

"Does it look good on me?"

"Whatever Lucas wear always look good on you."

"I mean, does your hairpin on my beautiful hair look good on me."

"Of course! I'm the one who put it."

"You really look like him." Yuki mumbled under her breath but Mara heard her clear, "Him?" She tilt her head a little.

"It's nothing. It looks good on you, Mara." Yuki smiled and place her hand on Mara's shoulder, pulling the younger in a hug, "It looks so good on you I want to hug you all day."

'Because you look like Lucas.'

"Thank you, auntie." A soft and calm voice said, "I'll go home as soon as golden week start. I'll bring Mara too." Yuki smiled, "I'm sorry for bringing another trouble... I'm excited to see them again too... Yes, thank you."

She put down the phone with a sigh and look at Mara who is hiding behind the wall, her magenta eyes look at her, "Will I really stay there?" She ask with almost wavering voice.

Yuki smiled softly and walk to the little girl, "I'm sorry.. I want to stay by your side more but I also have things to do here in Japan." She said and pat Mara's head, "Don't worry. Auntie and the family are good people."

Just this morning, Yuki told Mara that she'll be living with their family in Italy. The little girl was saddened by it of course, but Yuki found some ways to convince her which Mara reluctantly agreed.

"I'm sorry, Mara. I don't think I can protect you here, it's better if you're in the main family for now. Sister also have school and I'm worried about you being alone here. Don't worry, the people there are really kind and sweet, they are the ones that raised sister when our parents died."
