"Seiko isn't Yua, remember that," Akahiro muttered shoving me in the arm.
"I yelled Yua, because she'll be proud of me. And I believe that Yua is there with me during the game today! I didn't call Seiko, Yua," Haruo covered with confidence in his voice.
That was a pretty good cover, I'll admit.
Akahiro stared and left and soon after we did too. I looked over to Chizu and Haruo, raising an eyebrow.
"Should I still them tonight at the gathering?" I asked, waiting for a confirmation.
"I don't think it's a good idea, seeing how Akahiro reacted," Chizu replied looking over to the two boys. I understood and went over to the guys.
"Hey! Uhhh, don't bother coming to the gathering. T-the Kimura's have a special guest and so it's only going to be the Kimura's tonight," I stuttered, looking on the ground, "I won't be coming either and so Haruo. As we know, It's only Kimura's."
Katashi nodded and left, leaving only me and Akahiro alone.
"I have to ask you something," Akahiro blurted out, dragging me outside privately. Once we were out, we just stood in the darkness awkwardly.
"Uhmm... So what is it that you have to ask me?" I said, finally breaking the tension. He looked at me and his yellow honey eyes seem to glow in the dark.
"I know who you are," he started, making me look down. How did he know?
"I know you're Yua! You sound the same, you talk the same, you act the same and you even look the same," he stated, hearing the hurt in his voice... i wanted to tell him the truth. But he only assumed I was Yua, he didn't actually know... yet.
"Gomenasai... I don't know what you're talking about," I lied, "Excuse me." I left Akahiro sobbing, before he whispered something loud enough for me to hear.
"When will this pain stop? Why can I see Yua in you? I just want to say that I love you to her, I couldn't even say goodbye to Yua. I didn't get to confess before she disappeared and now she's gone forever. How can I love if I can't bear the truth about her being gone?" He whispered, his voice trembling, "I still wear the necklace she gave me."
The necklace I gave him years ago... he still has it. I walked over to him and offered my hand.
"Stand up, wipe those tears," I murmured, "I'm sure Yua knows that you love her and even though you didn't get to say goodbye, she's still here.. in your heart. Keep that necklace, don't lose it. It's important, and she loves you too. She's proud of you, I'm certain. So stop the crying and look forward. You'll see her soon. You'll get to hold her soon. Not now, but someday." He stood up and hugged me, whispering a sweet thank you. He quickly excused himself and ran to the bus, leaving me behind.
"I love you too."
