[quote=Zane620] Aya pouted at the fact Rocky hit Fumio. "Hey now. You two should talk it out like adults, everyone's done something bad in the past, hence why i said leave it in the past." Aya said yet Fumio didnt seem to be listening, as quickly as he came back up, he had quickly killed rocky, leaving Aya speechless as she stood there watching what Fumio had done. "Femme...." Aya muttered as she lowered down to Souta, who seemed to be mad himself and he had a good reason to be. So when Fumio left Souta yelled out in anger, which made her look at him, giving him a tight hug. "So was that what your childhood was like? Makes me feel bad thinking mine was shit." Aya said to him. "You know, when Chie was young and she was upset I always told her that to feel better she should just let it all out. If it was anger, or she was sad. Simply letting it out would make her feel better. So go ahead, I promise I wont tell." [/quote] [u]Souta Fushimaru Hari[/u] Souta gripped his own hair harshly as he quietened his voice, however he began to shake a little.... Aya had then began speaking but Souta was too paralysed to move, but was still listening... [i]'Don't cry Souta.... J-just d-don't... It shows... j-just how w-weak you are...'[/i] Souta's bottom lip quivered as he took in a shaky breath before attempting to talk with a quivering voice. [b]"U-unf-fortunaly.... b-but, this is not even h-half of what we g-go through..."[/b] Souta kept his eyes squeezed tightly before Aya gave him a tight hug. This surprised him greatly.... it was nice and unbelievably comforting... he couldn't recall ever feeling like this before... [b]"T-Tatsuki"[/b] [i]"Oi, Fruity, come help me with this" Tatsuki was sat on a bench in the middle of a community park located inside the inner walls of the Hari Clan. [b]"And if I don't want to?"[/b] Souta raised an eyebrow at the guy, stopping in his tracks as he was walking past Tatsuki before being called. "Just quite and help me, I've got to give this poem to someone, f-for someone else obviously, tomorrow... And anyway, I was wondering if it was... erm... 'lovey'... enough.... It's for Furoshi-kun to give to his crush, a-and I'm writing it cause, ya know, I'm all smooth and stuff" Tatsuki gave a little chuckle at the end of his sentence. Souta, however, narrowed his eyes suspiciously at him. [b]"It's for Aidona, isn't it?"[/b] A faint blush began to show on Tatsuki's face, but instead of denying it, he just gulped and nodded. "I-it is..." [b]"Well then, I'll help you out. No need to lie to me Tatsuki, I already know who she fe-I mean... you make it obvious that you do like her alot eheh.."[/b] Souta rubbed the back of his head sheepishly before sitting down next to Tatsuki. The latter looked at Souta with hopeful eyes. "You know? Good or bad? I won't ask anything else!" Souta rolled his eyes with a slight smirk. [b]"Number one, now let me look at this"[/b] As soon as Souta grabbed the poem out of Tatsuki's hands, the guy began punching the air joyfully with a wide grin. "HELL YEAH! I'm so happy Fruity!!-" [b]"I know, I thought you would now stop! You're attracting attenti-"[/b] Souta was interrupted by Tatsuki ruffling his hair. "Eheheheh! Thanks bud!" The guy continued to laugh as Souta pushed him away and fixed his hair. [b]"For the poem or information?"[/b] Tatsuki continued to grin, his spirits officially heightened. "Both"[/i] [b]"H-He's gone..."[/b] A tear slipped from Souta's eyes, followed by another and another. [b]"I c-can't take this much longer... T-to think that me and K-Kazuhiko were close wi-with him... All of them..."[/b] He moved his arms around Aya, hugging her back as he silently cried on her shoulder. [b]"... My sister... I miss her so much..."[/b] After a while of silence, Souta finally spoke, his voice was quiet but audible. [b]"Sh-she was the first to die because of this... the murderer... he haunts me everyday... everywhere I go... I know he's following me.... watching me.... I can feel his presence.... forcing me to remember that d-day..."[/b] Souta took a moment to inhale and exhale another shaky breath. [b]"I-It's not about how bad our past's were.... It's about how we handle them.... you're much more stronger at that than I am.... I envy that..."[/b] Releasing Aya, Souta looked away, wiping his eyes. [b]"I-I'm sorry about this... hmm..."[/b] His eyes dropped in defeat. [b]"... Let's head back... I need-..."[/b] His eyes had wondered to Tatsuki's body before he closed his mouth. Walking over, he looked down at it for a moment before speaking again. [b]"... In fact... you go on without me Aya... I'll catch up later..."[/b]
