Hanabi's POV
When I first saw Hanzo, just a few hours ago, time seemed to wind backwards, back till when I was nine years old, a mere child.
The innocent child who had been so badly damaged by the hurtful words of her best friend, just before he left her, to brave the small challenges in her life alone.
Since then, I had stopped being the wilful, stubborn and troublemaking child. Shocked by the loss of my closest confidant, I slowly stopped talking to others, choosing to be isolated from other children my age, who would not understand my anguish and pain.
Flashback
With tear-filled eyes, I ran down the path headed towards the village.
Hanzo left me.
Hanzo doesn't need me anymore!
Upon reaching the village, I collapsed in a deserted alley. Hugging her knees to her chest, the nine year-old girl cried her heart out.
When I had finally ran out of tears, I felt like a hollow shell. Staring blankly at the opposite wall, I continued sitting there for the rest of the starless night.
Only when the first rays of dawn touch the horizon did I lift my head.
Tugging my pink ribbon off my hair, I slowly stood up, and wiped any errant tears off my face.
Today is a new day, in which I have to face all my daily struggles without my best friend the to support me.
Today, I am no longer the young and innocent Hanabi, who was untouched by all the ugly realities of life.
Today is the new dawn of the new Hanabi.
I will train harder than before, and when Hanzo comes back, I will show him my strength, and how I have managed to survive without him!
Curling my hands into fists, I stood tall, and walked back home with my head held high.
When I reached home, I grabbed the red ribbon sitting on my dressing table, as though it had been waiting for me to wear it.
Red is Hanzo's favourite colour.
Trembling slightly, I slowly tied up my jet-black hair with the crimson red ribbon.
This red ribbon will remind me of my promise.
____________
However, all of this changed when I saw Hanzo, back in Seimei village, after seven long years.
Now what? I don't need to go and find him anymore. My childhood friend is back, and he had never hated me! All this time, I had been deluded.
Now, my life is finally complete again.
