Chapter 1: Run
Pitter-patter-pitter-patter. 'You have to concentrate, Shuichi!' he ran faster. 'Shuichi! That's pathetic! What's the matter with you!' he gripped the bag under his arm even tighter. 'I don't care. If you can't take it, why don't you leave?' Schuichi ran through the pouring rain towards the train station. 'Fine!' he thought to himself as he ran down the steps of the station.
Just as quick as he entered, he paid for a ticket and boarded a train car. He easily found his compartment and sat next to the window. He looked around at his surroundings. There was another seat across from him, shelves above both seats, and a TV above the door. A loud whistle was heard followed by men shouting. The compartment shook and the train started to move.
As he looked out the window, the scenery changed from a little hill to a city covered by rain. As he saw this, Shuichi wondered if he would ever come back. Even if HE came to get him.
The rain had stopped but Schuichi still hadn't returned. Yuki was getting worried. Usually Shuichi would keep coming back again and again no matter what he'd say. But now that he thought about, he never really ever saw Shuichi look so upset. And he had talked to him rather harshly. He drummed his fingers over his keyboard, but all he thought about was Shuichi.
'Where could the boy have gone?' He couldn't think of any. 'OH, wait…..' he thought. 'Hiro's place.' His mind began to ease but he still couldn't think of anything to write. Finally, he shut down his computer, turned off his light, and went to bed, hoping his love was alright.
Shuichi opened his eyes right into the sun. No surprise seeing as he fell asleep with half his face against the window. He squinted his eyes shut and rubbed them hard. He opened them again, but it was too late. Blurs and spots everywhere. Suddenly, he heard the door to the compartment open. Looking over, he could make out a figure entering. The man was holding something.
"Welly, well, well! Good morning, sir!" came the cheery feminine voice.
'Oops. SHE's holding something.' Rubbing his eyes again, he squinted at the woman as his vision began to clear.
He could finally see her. She looked to be about his age with long, rich black hair that flowed like silk under water. It touched her waist and one strand, shorter than the rest, continued to fall in her face, no matter how many times she pushed it back.
She had piercing green eyes and a very, VERY pretty smile.
"Who're you?" he asked.
The girl smiled. Her eyes did too.
"My name is Kyra. Looks like we'll be in the same compartment for a while. Here," she handed him a tray with bagels and coffee and hot cereal.
"Everything else was devoured and I remembered you were still asleep. We've got a lot of hungry people on this train," she sat across from him.
"So what's your name?" Shuichi hesitated for a moment, then shrugged.
"Shuichi," he said, picking up a bagel and spreading butter on it.
"Shuichi?...that's a nice name," she crossed her legs and leaned back. "So, where're you headed, Shuichi?"
"I don't know."
Kyra blinked at this. "You mean you don't know where you're going?"
He shrugged again. "I guess. I mean, to be honest I just bought a ticket and hopped on. I really didn't pay attention, I just wanted to…..get away for a while."
"Well, where does your ticket say? They don't just hand you one, ya know. You have to choose SOMEWHERE."
Shuichi pulled out his ticket. "Yokohama."
"Really? That's where I'm going."
Shuichi didn't know how to reply, so he just put away his ticket and picked up his coffee. She gave him a sympathetic look as if she knew something was wrong with him.
"So any reason you're going to Yokohama?"
"No, not really. I just needed-,"
"Needed to get away. Sorry, I forgot you already said that."
"It's fine," Shuichi said as he sipped his coffee.
"Question."
"Shoot," Shuichi replied.
"Do you have a place to stay once you get there?"
Shuichi paused. He hadn't thought about that. I mean, sure he had money, but he didn't even know how long he was staying. Shaking his head, he continued to drink his coffee.
"Hey, I know this may sound crazy, but I have an idea," Kyra said.
Shuichi nodded to let her know he was listening.
"Why don't you stay with me?" he spit out his coffee.
"Ew," Kyra said, looking down at his now coffee flavored bagels and cereal.
"You're joking!" Shuichi said.
"No I'm not."
"We hardly know each other!"
"So? It's not like I'm gonna make a move on you or anything. Besides, I can tell when someone's really stressed out, and you, my friend, are one of them."
"I don't know."
"Well, then think about it. If you want to you're more than welcome."
Shuichi looked down at his tray, picked it up, and exited the compartment. Kyra leaned against the seat, and crossed her legs, wondering what had led her to ask him that but hoping she was doing the right thing.
"What a beautiful scene," she said as the train went by a large field of flowers.
Shuichi dumped his ruined food into the trash and got a new tray. He went over to a car where they had a buffet line. No one was in it, but Kyra was right. Only bagels and hot cereal were left. Shuichi saw remains of eggs, noodles, rice, biscuits, and other breakfast foods that were once there.
He looked at the food and remembered the time he, Yuki, and Hiro along with Ryuichi all went to eat breakfast at a fancy restaurant. By the time the food fight was over, only the bagels were left because they barely made a mess if you threw them. From that point on they were officially banned from the restaurant. Man, was Yuki pissed.
He piled on some bagels and scooped a bowl of hot cereal. He then went over to where the drinks were. Tea and coffee. He remembered when Mr. K brought in a whole bunch of coffee for a get together they all had once. Talk about caffine high. It took him at least two days before all the energy wore off. He giggled as he remembered it. He got some of both. He exited the car and began to head back to his compartment
And stopped
And cried.
Kyra sat in her seat, eyes almost all the way closed as she began to doze off. The compartment door opened and Shuichi entered handing her the cup of tea he had gotten. She took it and blinked up at him. He sat down right across from her and began eating his cereal.
He took a sip of his coffee and spoke: "I….."
She stopped drinking her tea and looked at him.
"I'd like to stay with you…..if that's alright," he said.
She smiled, but quickly frowned when she saw a tear drop from his covered face. He realized she noticed and quickly covered it up.
"But only if you promise not to make a move on me," he said, laughing a bit.
She blinked at him, and laughed. Her eyes laughed too.
