Final Chapter

Page 125- _Under The Peach Tree: Fragile Hearts_

Shocked?, Of course she was. Heartbroken, sad, angry, all kinds of feelings swelled up in her mind, stranding soulless Rin with a weakening pulse. She ran aimlessly, going wherever her feet strode. One huge wreck of emotions she became, settling under the large peach tree she usually hung out. Watching the whole neighborhood from a hilltop, lights brightened her face, revealing a pool of trickling lines.

Where to begin?, how to process?, what to do?, every question spun in a cycle. A cycle which tormented her fried brain through a vicious carnage of confusion. Moreover, sticking out in the open rang as prey for winter cold shakes.

She spent minutes to hours, skin now chicken like from the dropping temperature. Once a while her eyes would quiver to closing, only to be stopped by a strong passing breeze and her fear of rustling leaves.

Rintaro folded arms around her legs, whispering under the blissful skyline of glorious stars. Only she and the new moon, her mind thought. Solemn silence as her only companion to the unanswered mumbles.

    'Why's this happening all at once, what did i do to make the universe so angry? Why would my own brother keep something so important from me?," groans of a horse abandoned on the battlefield. But no matter how painful it was, Rin should have known she wasn't alone.

????.... _I think that's because he wanted to protect you._

A voice flew from the back of her ear, almost switching defensive reflexes on. Who better to soothe _little miss genius_' heart other than her crush and now boyfriend? Laying eyes on his glistening face, she instinctively jumped into his warm embrace.

Rintarõ.... _Keisuke?, what are you doing here?, how'd you even get out of your house?_

Keisuke.... _Heh, I can't be a prisoner forever now can i? I don't know what to say. Where to begin with the apologies. I know you're angry, but i'm sorry for ever being your friend or classmate or boyfriend. I'm sorry your parents passed away because of my reckless father. I'm sorry for every single moment my family hurt you. I know there's not enough apologies in the world to seal your broken heart, and if you wanna break up with me then that's fine. But please hear what i have to say first._

          _Forever waiting in my life i knew nothing but loneliness. Then i asked my driver to drop me by a certain peach tree as he left a meeting. There i met the most sweetest little girl ever. 'Call me by my name Rin, do you wanna be friends?," she bluntly asked. Phased by nothing and no one, her eyes glittered a summer shade of the shimmering sunset. Blown away, all i could exchange were my name and awkward smile. Her golden bangs moved foward, leaning for a handshake with those smooth frail hands of hers. 'What a beautiful girl," i thought, watching her pink dress shiver as she ran back home._
