An odd life

Chapter 8: Goodbye

Last chapter

"I'm not abandoning you but, I will come and talk to you when I'm ready so please. " I gave her a smile. " Wait for me. " I carried on walking when I heard a shout.

" Wait, wait hitachiin! " I heard mr kei shout. I stopped and waited for him to reach me. He gave me a glare. " You honestly think life is easy? Well it's not come out of your fantasy world face your reality! This is exactly why I don't like you but " he grabbed my hand and held it tight. " I prefer you over those akashi twins anyday. " he let go and walked back to his house. " Just remember, if you ever hurt my daughter i wont hesitate to hurt you kid! " I grinned.

" Not even in another parallel or alternative world would I even make her frown. " I replied.

"Heh, I might just like you after all kid. " He said. I took a deep breath. Does she love me or not? It doesn't change the fact that I will protect her no matter what.

" After all," I whispered. " She's the first one to ever say ' your kouru ' and say it with complete confidence. " I smiled a surprisingly gentle smile and wiped my tears away. A new future path is opening and there will be many thorns and a dragon in my path but, I will reach the princess. " I will and even if she doesn't need saving I will let her go. I promise on this day, to do my best for akanekou kouku! " I shouted.

I sighed when i felt some rain fall on my head. I didn't bring my umbrella today. I took cover under the bag i had. I just went to the shop to buy a matching blue necklace for me and kou. It also had each others pictures in it. Being the very populated country Japan is, i wasn't surprised to see the road full of people crossing. Even though the chances were slim of me seeing her, i didn't expect to see kou there as well.

"Yo!" I said popping up in front of her like when we met. I chuckled when she screamed at hit me on the head. Only that was in my memories, now she didn't even react.

"Mr Hitachiin." She said monotone. I frowned.

"What's wrong with kou?" I asked.

"There is nothing wrong and please do not ask.It is not appropriate as we are only acquaintances." She replied not looking at me. I growled and stood in front of her blocking her way.

"What do you mean acquaintances? I thought we were friends maybe even lovers!" I said my face becoming sad. She looked at me with hatred in her eyes.

"The world carries on when you stop, forgive me for saying this but not everything is about you Mr Hitachiin." She spat at me.

"I know that kou-" I started.

"-Do not call me kou, as we are only acquaintances and i have not given you permission." Kou said. I only gaped at her.

"So you didn't wait, i see." I said."Then we'll only have to become best friends again!" I smiled. She frowned but looked at bit surprised.

"You can't erase the memories i have and you ruined the chance you had." She then clenched her hand and slapped me." You ran away when i needed you the most!" She whispered a few tears falling on her hand. I gently touched the my face where she slapped me and hissed at the pain. "You ignored me when my life was falling apart." I couldn't help but let some tears slip through as well.

"That's because-" I said only to be interrupted.

"Don't make excuses!" She shouted trying to run away. I grabbed her hand and put it on my heart.

"That's because it's hurts, so much. It feels like can't breathe and my throat is closed up every time i think of you. It's so painful and then i just remember your smile and the pain all goes away in that moment. But then i remember i let you go and the pain comes back once more!" I ignored the people watching us and taking videos."How can this feeling kill me but bring me back to life again and again?" i asked.

I then heard a car coming and saw a man shouting about the break not working. People started to panic and everyone kept running. Someone shoved me out of the way and my bag fell. I went to grab it when i saw a wheel in front of me. A familiar pair of boots stepped in front of me and i felt someone hug me. I saw familiar mesmerizing eyes in front of me.

"It's hard to let things go huh?" She said. I tried to reach forward but i couldn't reach her. "Life gives death presents and death takes them all." She smiled at me and i screamed." But you know what, i'm not sad because" She held up the necklace i was going to give her." I know your there for me no matter what!" She mouthed something to me and even though i knew what it was i didn't want to believe it. The car hit and the smile was surrounded by red falling around it. I whimpered.

"WHY!" i Shouted looking to the sky."WHY GOD? WHY GIVE ME SOMETHING PERFECT BUT TAKE IT AWAY?!" I tried to wipe away my tears but saw my hands had red on it. The red was still falling like snow."How something so precious slip out of my hands and be destroyed the moment i touch it again?" I clenched my hands and ignored the ambulance that came too late."How far do i have to go to reach you?!"

"Goodbye!"She whispered.
