Note : I don't own Kagerou Days-
One Year Later...
Sunday, 31 August 08.00 AM
Summer days again, as usual, the blue sky blaze, the sun's shining, jets in the sky, and also the breeze came too.
A leaf on a tree fell down gently with the breeze flying into a room, lay down onto a yellow-black sketchbook on a bed. 'A sketchbook of memories'. Next to the sketchbook lays down light brown-haired guy who's closing his eyes, asleep. He's wearing a with shirt with black pants matches with his light green beige. *SummerTime Record's Music*. "Huh?!" that guy wake up, stretching his arms and legs, stood up and reaches his phone.
"Moshi moshi?" he started. No answer. He puts back his phone and stare around his room. 'What was I doing last night?' he thought. Then, he looked at his skecthbook next to him, with a pencil, an eraser, and a leaf? He looked up. His window bedroom is still opened. He quickly closed it and sigh relieved. He took a quickly glance and grabs his sketchbook, pencil, and eraser, leaving the leaf on his bed.
He went out from his room grabbing his wallet, phone, quickly wears his black shoes and ran outside. He didn't care if he have to eat breakfast, he knows it's a bad thing for him leaving breakfast behind. But he keeps running.
His name is Haruka Kokonose, 20 years old. Studies at Tokyo University.
He stopped running as he got to place he wanted to be, the place where he gets his inspiration for his drawing. He sat down and opens his sketchbook put it on his lap. He gaze at the blue sky as he plays with his pencil. 'No ideas' he sighs. He opens the first page he's been drawing. The drawing reveal there's 8 teens and one young boy gathered around at the hospital carrying him out.
He put a sly smile on his face and look around him. It's been a year since he met the Mekakushi Dan. After the picnic last year, with Ayano.
A few months before, they went all went into seperate ways.
Kido and Kano went to the same university now outside Tokyo.
Seto started running his own flower shop with Mary.
Momo started her own clothes design and continue High School.
Shintaro and Ayano went to the same University at Kyoto. As Ayano became successful with her own novel called 'SummerTime' of course with a help from Shintaro.
Hibiya, he decided to stay with Hiyori in Okinawa with Hiyori's grandmother.
As for Takane... She had became a game maker, she had created loads of games now. And now, she went to America to give a presentation of her new game.
Haruka flip the pages again and again. A drawing of all of them sitting on a mat when the go to the picnic that day. Also a drawing where they go to a carnival in September. As Haruka flips the pages even faster, a paper slips of. He looks at the paper, it wasn't any kind of paper. He took it and reliezed it was a photo! He flips back and started to laughed. A major disaster that falls to Kano which was took by Shintaro.
The photo was seen as Kano sat on the couch, then Mary tripped of the mat, fell over as a cup of coffee she brought flew and fell on Kano. Then Seto slipped of the ball of yarn that Hibiya was using to knit, sending the ball of yarn to hit Kano. And Kido who was bringing the fish she that she finish cooking, she didn't saw Seto who was still laying on the ground, she tripped of Seto sent the fish to lay on Kano.
He looked at the sketchbook, more papers peeks from the sketchbook. More photos! He took the paper which was slipped into his sketchbook. Now he remembers, it was the photo that Shintaro printted for everyone. He took a look at those photos and the one he likes is the New Year's when he, the Dan, Hiyori, and Ayano went to the shrine.
31 December 11.00 PM
"Are they coming or not?" burst Shintaro rubbing his shoulders. "I'm sure they're coming, just wait" said Haruka. "Really?! It's freezing!" shouted Takane rubbing her hands. "Look! There they are!" cheered Ayano pointing at Kido and the others running towards them.
"What took you so long?" asked Shintaro glaring at Momo. "Oba-san had to spent 30 minutes dressing up, before I had to pick Hiyori up!" said Hibiya glaring at Momo. "No I'm not!" said Momo with a jeer. "Let's go in!" cheered Kano dragging Kido into the shrine.
Shintaro took some photos there like, He, Takane, Ayano, and Haruka sharing Takoyaki, Momo playing at the shooting booth won loads of dolls and prizes, Seto and Mary catching the fishes, Hibiya and Hiyori sharing a cotton candy, also Kano and Kido had to share beef donburi because the stand they were buying only had only left.
"COUNT DOWN!" cheered Seto. "Ten!" shouted Mary. "Nine!". "Hiyori let's go!" said Hibiya dragging Hiyori. "Eight!" she shouted. "Seven!" shouted Ayano and Shintaro. "Six!"."FIVE!" cheered Momo. The count down became even louder than before. "FOUR!"."THREE ...Haruka where are you?" searched Takane. "Here...TWO!" said Haruka grabbing Takane's hand. "ONE! HAPPY NEW YEAR!" cheered Everyone. The fire works started blasting into sky, as Shintaro took a picture of it.
They stay wide open until 06.00 AM. "Look! New Year's sunrise! Let's take a photo!" cheered Kano opening his phone. "You too Tsubomi!" said Ayano pushing Kido into Kano's phone screen. *CLICK*. "Amazing!" cheered Mary looking at the photo. "You know what Kido? You really look cute" said Shintaro tries to hold his laughed. "You're right!" said Kano zooming it. "Kano give it to me!" shouted Kido as her face turns red.
Kido started trying to steal Kano's phone. But it turns out to be throw Kano's phone game away from Kido.
Hibiya and Hiyori slept peacefully side-to-side leaning to a tree. They're tired.
Haruka looked again at the photo's. There a photo when he was still Konoha and Hiyori was huging him a side with a jealous Hibiya standing next to him. Haruka looked at his sketchbook page, it's still empty. Why is his brain is empty in this time?
He closed his eyes tries to find somethig out. Useless...he glares at the blue sky. He takes a look again at the photos maybe he'll some inspiration. There's a photo when they went out picking strawberries, the time when Momo brought a red bean paste that can't been eaten with what Seto brought. A photo when the play 'The King', went camping at the forest, Valentine's Day, Christmas, Halloween...It was the first time Haruka saw Kido wearing a witch's dress after being forced by Mary and Momo. The gender swap day, Kano and Hibiya really looks like a girl.
But still no inspiration, Haruka looks at the sky and closes his eyes and let the breeze flows him away. As he opens his eyes he saw birds were flying in the mid air. Nothing. He started opening and closing his eyes again and again. He started to knickknack his pencil. "Okay, so what did we do?" he murmured to himself. A breeze hits him as he got an idea. "That's it!" he cheered and started to draw. He erases some parts and draws it again. For relaxing he mumbles a song for him.
The sun is almost at the peek. Haruka just finished his drawing and wept is forehead. He looked up. "Ouch...what time is it? Why do I fell hungry?" he thought. Ah, he didn't even had breakfast. He slips the photos back into his sketchbook.
"Haruka?" asked a familiar voice' Haruka turns his back, "Satoshi?" he asked looking at his collage friend, Satoshi Fukuraba. "What are you doing?" asked Satoshi. "As usual" smiled Haruka. "Oh, do you want to grab something to eat?" asked Satoshi looking at Haruka who hugged his sketchbook. "No thanks, I'm still full" lied Haruka with a smile. 'Why didn't I brought my bike?' he thought to himsellf. "Oh, okay. See you tomorrow" waved Satoshi. As Satoshi disappears, Haruka quickly ran back to his apartement.
He opens the door throws his sketchbook, pencil, and eraser onto the couch. His sketchbooks was wide open but Haruka ignored it. He quickly opens the fridge, grabs the bowl wrapped with aluminium foil, opens the aluminium foil, puts in on the microwaved and pressed two minutes.
Haruka looked at the window near the dining room. He opens it as a strong wind came in forcing Haruka to closed it again. As the strong wind blew in, it blew the pages of the sketchbook until it reaches the page that Haruka was drawing. Haruka keeps trying to close the window. As he successfully closes the window, the microwaved beeps, his food was ready.
He opens the mirowave, took the food, closed the microwaved, quickly grabs a fork and start to enjoy eating his spagehetti. The apartement he lives alone along side with Takane who is in America is one block from his university. But sometimes, he could walk/run to the place he always wanted to be. Thanks to Ayano, who help them finding the perfect apartement for them and of course Shintaro too.
Haruka turns his head to the couch, seeing his sketchbook was wide open. He smiles at it and continue eating his spaghetti.
The sketch book page that he was drawing reveals a drawing of the Dan, Hiyori, and Ayano were playing water wars, at a near playground next to the Mekakushi Dan's base. That was the only memory that Shintaro didn't took the photo 'cause he knew his phone will be soak wet. At the bottom right of the drawing was written,
"Let's go, today is war again"
"We fought against and took each other's hands"
