"Even if I die a thousand times I will still find you. I will keep Looking for you no matter what happens to me. I will search for you over and over again because finding you is what I really want. I want to be, with you and I will not give up even if I have to die a thousand times. I will still find you because that is what I am meant to do."
The evening rain fell over Tokyo. It was so quiet. The rain made the streets all wet and gray. The neon lights looked funny in the puddles. They made a lot of colors on the ground. Cars were driving on the road but on the small streets where people live it was really quiet. The rain made everything feel quiet. It was like the rain took all the noise away. The evening rain, in Tokyo was very calm.
Itsuki Takahashi walked under an umbrella that he was sharing with the girl who was always with Itsuki Takahashi. The girl was, beside him.
Yuki held the umbrella in a way that was a little off it was tilted more, towards Yuki than herself. The right side of her body got really wet her right shoulder was totally drenched. But she did not say a word, Yuki just. They kept walking together.
"It is going to get you wet " Itsuki said with a frown. "You should move the thing closer to you so the water does not touch you " Itsuki told him looking at the water and then at the person. "Move it closer, to you so you do not get wet " Itsuki said again trying to help the person.
"It is fine " she said in a voice. "You always forget your umbrella anyway. The umbrella is something you always forget. I am already used to you forgetting your umbrella and getting wet.
The man let out a sigh because he felt like he had lost in a way. He was not really happy, about what had happened with the situation. The situation had not gone the way he had wanted it to go. He felt defeated and this feeling was not very strong it was a little defeat.
That does not make it okay.
Yuki laughed softly. Her voice was really quiet and warm. It was like a light that you see when it is raining outside. The raindrops shone in Yukis eyes as she looked at the road that was in front of her. Yuki felt happy, about the road. The road was quiet. Yuki liked that about it.
They had taken the route to the ramen shop times before. The ramen shop was a place they went to after they finished cram school. They also walked past the vending machine that was behind the convenience store.. They always took the narrow shortcut alley because it always saved them five minutes of walking time. The narrow shortcut alley was an useful thing, for them when they were going to the ramen shop.
The street was really quiet tonight when I walked down the shortcut. It felt strange like something was missing and the shortcut felt unusually quiet.
The sky was darker than usual.
The rain was really heavy. It felt like the rain carried a lot of water. The rain was very wet. It carried a lot of weight.
Itsuki did not know why he felt this way. He had a feeling in his chest. It was a feeling like something was getting a little tighter. This feeling made him think that something was going to be different. The feeling was, like a warning that something was about to happen to Itsuki.
The man said to Yuki "Hey Yuki" in a voice.
She turned to him. Said "What is it?"
The man. Thought for a second. He was not sure what to do. The man hesitated for a moment.
If something bad happens to the people we care one day if the future does not turn out the way the people we care about think it will the future is not what the people we care about are hoping for what will happen to the people we care about then. The people we care about might be worried about what will happen to the people we care about if the future turns out different, than the people we care about expect.
She blinked because she was really confused.
That really does sound like a deal. The situation seems serious, to me. I think this is something that needs to be taken it sounds dramatic.
He said "I know". Then he laughed a little. He wanted to say something to me. He wanted to say it while he still could say things, like that.
Her face did not look as stern anymore. Her expression softened.
"…Okay. What is it?"
The man took a breath.
I am really happy that I met you. Meeting you was a thing for me. I feel very good, about the fact that I met you.
The rain just kept falling. It was the rain that would not stop. The rain was really coming down.
For a seconds the man and the woman just sat there in silence neither of them said a word. The woman was looking at the man. The man was looking at the woman but they did not say anything to each other for a few seconds.
Then Yuki smiled, faint and trembling, as if
The woman was trying to hold something. She did not want to let it out. The woman was really trying to keep something, inside her.
I am glad too Itsuki.
People walked into the alley. The alley was very narrow. They had to walk in a line to get through the alley.
No streetlights reached here. The brick walls
loomed over them, and the puddles
reflected only fragments of distant city light.
The footsteps of the people echoed faintly.
Then Yuki stopped.
The woman said "Itsuki" in a quiet voice.
The man also saw the thing.
A man was standing at the end of this alley. The alley was pretty long. The man was all the way, at the other end. This man was just standing there.
The man had a hood that covered his face. He was wearing this hood. It concealed his face completely. The hood was, over the mans head. It covered his face.
The man just stood there. He did not take a step. The man was still.
The rain was coming down. It dripped down his sleeves. This was not a thing, for him because the rain was making his sleeves all wet. The rain just kept dripping down his sleeves.
The puddle beneath his feet rippled, yet the
The world around them felt frozen. There was no wind. The world around them was completely silent. The world, around them had no life.
Every instinct in Itskis body was telling him that something was not right that Itski was in danger. Itski felt it every single instinct in Itskis body screamed that Itski had to be careful that there was danger, around Itski.
He shifted forward, placing himself between
Yuki and the unknown figure.
The man said "I am sorry". He was being very careful, with what he was saying. "We will take another route" he said. The thing they were trying to do was take a road so they would take another route.
No answer.
The man tilted his head a little to the side. He did this slowly and carefully the man tilted his head. The movement was small. The man tilted his head.
The air got really cold.
Itsukis hand got a lot tighter around Yukis wrist.
Let us go.
The people stepped back.
The man. Then he stopped talking. The man said what he had to say.
"Found you."
The voice sounded really weird. It was low. Did not seem to be coming from the person. The voice was detached. The voice sounded like it was the voice of someone not the person who was speaking. The voice was warped.
The man made a move before Itsuki had a chance to do anything.
A flash of steel cut through the rain.
Pain exploded through Itukis side. It was a bad pain that hurt a lot. The pain from Itukis side was very strong. Ituki felt the pain, in Itukis side. It was not good.
He fell down onto the pavement and his eyes got all blurry. He saw bits of light and dark all mixed up. There was blood over the place and it mixed with the rainwater in the puddles making the water look red. The blood, from his body spread across the puddles beneath him turning the rainwater red.
"Itsuki! Itsuki!!"
Yuki dropped to her knees beside him, her
Her hands were shaking much that she had a hard time holding him. She really wanted to hold him and not let him go. Her hands were shaking a lot as she tried to hold him.
The mans breath caught in his throat.
The world spun around. Everything seemed to be moving really fast. The world. It was, like nothing was staying in one place.
The man tried to get up. His body was shaking really badly. His body kept shaking. It was very hard for him to stand up. The man was trying to rise. His body was trembling violently it was a big struggle, for him.
The attacker stepped closer, to the person. The attacker was getting really close now. The attacker did not stop moving. The attacker just kept stepping closer.
Unhurried.
Cold.
Calculated.
The man said to me "You should not exist."
The blade rose again. It was the blade that was rising. The blade kept going up. It rose some more. The blade was moving upward. That was what the blade was doing.
Itsuki grabbed Yuki and rolled, narrowly avoiding the strike. Pain flared across his
He went back. The mans limbs felt like they were, on fire. The mans senses were all messed up.
The man did not let go of the thing that he was holding onto. He just would not let it go no matter what happened. The man was very determined to hold on to this thing. He did not let go.
He would do anything to keep her safe even if that means his body gets completely broken. He would still protect her.
He was really, out of breath and he said "Run... Yuki..."
"No" she said loudly. "I will not leave you."
Her tears mixed with the rain as she pressed
her trembling hands against his wounds.
If I lose you I do not know how to keep going with my life. The thought of living without you is really scary. I feel like I will not be able to do anything if you are not here, with me. I am really going to miss you much. If you die I do not know how to live.
The man could sense the womans fear. He knew she was scared. The fear of the woman was something he could feel.
Her warmth.
Her voice was shaking really badly as she tried to stay strong. She was trying to be brave. Her voice was shaking. The womans voice was shaking while she attempted to stay strong and not lose control.
A memory surfaced in his fading
consciousness.
Cherry blossoms.
A spring breeze.
The two small hands are holding each other tightly beneath a sky that's really quiet. The sky is still and it is not making any noise at all. The two small hands are just sitting there together under this sky.
We will stay together forever. No matter what happens to us. We will always be together the people we are and our relationship it will last. We will go through things. Our love, for each other for us will keep us strong.
The man smiled a little through all the hurt he was feeling.
I made a promise. I want you to remember it. Do you recall what I said? I promised something. I hope you have not forgotten about the promise I made.
Her eyes got wide.
The attacker stopped what they were doing for a moment. The attacker just stood there for a second.
The blade went down a bit.
He said to himself "It is still the same." He thought about this world. How things are. He said, "You are still choosing him in this world."
Yuki stepped forward. She stood between them. Yuki was now right, in the middle of the two people standing between them.
Her legs were shaking really badly. She did not move out of the way. Her legs just kept on trembling. She stayed right where she was she did not move.
"If you want to hurt him," she whispered,
You will have to kill the person who is speaking that is me first.
The rain came down hard on the pavement. The rain just kept hitting the pavement harder.
The sky got really bright because of the lightning that flashed overhead.
The man looked unsure, for the time and you could see the doubt in his eyes.
Then—
The blade cut through the air. It was like the blade was moving on its own when the blade cut through the air. The sound of the blade cutting through the air was really loud. The blade made a sound as the blade cut through the air.
There was blood, over the place. Blood was scattered everywhere.
Yukis body fell into Itsukis arms. Yukis body just went completely limp. Fell into Itsukis arms.
Her warmth seeped away through his
trembling fingers.
"Yuki… Yuki! Stay with me! Please!"
Her lips were shaking badly.
Her voice was really soft and weak. It sounded like it was going to disappear at any moment. Her voice was fading away.
I am okay. I am not afraid. The thing is, I do not feel scared all. I mean everything is going to be alright, with the situation. I am not afraid of what is going to happen.
"Don't say that!"
The mans tears fell down his face. Mixed with the rain. He held her tightly. The tears, from the mans eyes just kept falling into the rain as he held her close. The man was. The rain was falling and his tears were all mixed up with the rain. He was holding her tightly.
She gave a smile.
Her final breath brushed against his ear.
Even if I die my life will have been worth it because I got to do the things that the music and the people I love music and the people I love brought into my life.
The music and the people I love will always be a part of me, music and the people I love no matter what happens to me.
The world just got really dark.
I will still find the person again. The person can be sure that I will still find them again. I will keep looking for the person until I find them again.
Her hand slipped from his hand. She felt his hand go away, from her hand.
Her body just stopped moving all of a. She was completely still. Her body was not moving all.
The sound of the rain was really loud. It swallowed up everything, around me. The rain just kept falling and falling making this loud noise that blocked out all the other sounds. The sound of the rain was so strong that it covered up everything.
The attacker turned around. Then walked away, from the scene. The attacker did not look back. The attacker just kept walking.
The scene felt like something that was already done like it was not a deal or anything. It was something that needed to be finished and now it is finished. The scene was, like a task that was already completed.
Itsukis mind went fuzzy. Everything was a blur, for Itsuki. Itsuki could not think clearly.
The mans scream never actually came out of his throat. The scream was stuck inside the man.
The world of this person slipped into silence. It was like everything just stopped. The world of this person was really quiet now.
The rain just kept falling it was endless and really cold. It washed away all the footprints and the blood and any warmth that was still left. The rain was washing away everything, including the footprints, the blood and the lingering warmth of the place.
Then…
Darkness.
Weightless.
Empty.
Somewhere far beyond the dying city lights…
Two people were floating around in a quiet empty space. The two souls were all alone. It was very still. The silent void was an empty place and the two souls were moving through it.
Not apart.
But bound.
It is like there is a string that does not want to let them be apart. The string is holding on to the people. It will not let them separate from each other. This unseen thread is keeping them together. It is very strong. The people are being held by this thread. It is not letting them go.
A light that was far away was shining on and off, in the dark. The darkness was around and this distant light was flickering.
A voice — neither human nor divine —
echoed softly.
Calling to them.
Whispering.
"Reincarnate."
The void really shook. It was, like the void was moving. That was a very strange thing to see. The void. It was pretty scary.
The world really shifted. Everything changed and the world shifted again it was, like nothing was the same and the world shifted.
Their story…
was not over yet.
