Chapter 2 - Chapter 1

'thought'

"talk"

Kousei's POV

'Where am i?' I looked at my surroundings and discovered nothing. It was pitch black, with a cool breeze.

I curled up and hugged myself. I felt so lonely. There was no light nor a voice.

'Please, help me from this darkness.'

My eyelids blinked for a moment before i closed them tightly.

"Friend A!" Echoed a voice from far away. I shot my eyes wide open.

That voice, so familiar, so close but so distant. "I want them to listen to my music."

I stood up and shouted, "Who's there?!" .. hoping for a reply.

"Will you forget me?"

Then suddenly, my head was flooded with memories of that one girl.

"I'm a violinist!"

Again, that voice. Tears welled up in my eyes. "Miyazono... san?"

"..."

"If you're there then answer me! ..Please.." I begged, my legs have started to feel numb. I was shaking and i tilted my head down. Clenching my fist, i was hoping again.

"It's no use"

The sudden voice startled me. No, this time, it wasn't of a girl's voice but more to a boy's. I looked up ahead with narrowed eyes as i was trying to find the source.

"What do you mean?"

"The girl is no longer alive. She won't answer to your voice."

As if on cue, a black cat figure walked in front of me with piercing ember eyes. There was suddenly a blinded light shone from the ceiling.

It stared at me for a while. "Do you have a wish?" Asked the cat.

"W-wish?"

"Yes, wish."

"I.. don't have one." I muttered to myself and met its eyes.

"Liar."

I was taken back by his word.

"I'll grant you your wish. But for a price."

***

*Birds chirping*

Erghh.. I rubbed my eyes as soon as it was opened. I shifted my gaze outside and realized that it was already morning.

'It was a dream.' I thought. Miyazono-san's voice, the black cat and the wish.

I sighed, of course it was. I went into the bathroom to get ready before checking mails in phone.

There was one mail from Tsubaki.

[From: Tsubaki

Subject: None

Kousei! The park today! You must come too! >^<]

"Park? What is she scheming?"

***

Glancing at my watch once in a while, i sighed. 'She's late..'

I also took a glance around. I smiled, this place.. It was our first meeting. That time, i found a pair of yellow shoes and leggings on that branch-

...

I rubbed my eyes in disbeliefs. Even if i did that so many times, the fact of scene in front of me was shocking me.

Hanging on the branch were the exact same shoes and black leggings.

'Is Tsubaki pranking me?' I lifted the stuffs and checked if it was the real thing. And strangely, it was real.

'Is this a coincidence?' I tried to convince myself that these were all just my feelings. But not until i heard the sound of a melodica, echoed from afar.

I didn't want to believe it but i ran to the place where i first saw Miyazono-san.

I followed the music and ended up.. infront of a familiar scene. A familiar face.

I widened my eyes in pure shock. My heart was beating rapidly and i was sweating. I was frozen.. until..

"Pervert!" She yelled as she throw a melodica at me. I let it hit me on purpose in order to feel pain. So that i won't confused between reality and dreams.

However.. it hurts..

"W-why are you looking at me like that?" Asked the girl. The wind blew past through her blond hair as she furrowed her eyes.

I was stunned, i was suprised as to why Kaori was still standing in front of me. She.. should've died a year ago.

Miyazono-san's hazel eyes met my black orbs. She crossed her arms against her chest and walked up to me while i still felt very shocked.

"Kao-chan!" Called a feminine voice. Miyazono-san and i both turned to the source, "Tsubaki?" i mumbled to myself as i stole a glance at the girl beside me.

Miyazono-san waved her hand towards the brunette girl. "Tsubaki-chan!"

"Well, let the introduction begins! Ehem, first.. this here is Miyazono Kaori, my classmate."

Miayazono-san smiled. "Nice to meet you!"
