It was true, Misa would never come back to him, no matter what he did, Naoki sniffled "I know, but, I just wish there was" Misa smiled and gingerly rubbed Naoki''s cheek "Your so sweet" Misa slowly rose up and kissed Naoki on the lips, that sent Naoki into a whirlwind of nastolgia. The softeness of Misa''s lips, the smell of her hair wafting under his nose, it made him remeber each and everytime Misa had kissed him like this, Misa''s lips moved away Naoki looked at her with tear filled eyes. He took hold of her hand and gripped it tightly, "I hate how this is the only place I can see you" Misa smiled sadly, "Naoki, I want you to move on" Naoki''s eyes shook, he sighed "I know you do, but, like I said, it''s hard" Naoki ran his hand through Misa''s red locks. Misa in turn touched Naoki''s face, "I want you to be happy, I don''t want to be the one who caused you to have a sad life" Misa looked at the ground and sniffled.
Naoki held her chin and tilted her head up, he smiled, "You could never cause me sadness" tears ran down Misa''s face she grabbed Naoki and hugged him tight, "Please, I want you to move on, I know it''s hard to forget about me but, please, I want you to be happy" Misa looked up with tear filled eyes, Naoki smiled and patted her head "Alright, if that''s what you want" Misa smiled. The two stood there staring into each others eyes, then suddenly the white room started to fade away, as did Misa, her body started to get transparent, she sighed and looked up at Naoki "Looks like this was all the time I had" Naoki frowned. Misa smiled, tears rolled down her cheeks, she touched Naoki''s face once more, her hand was cold to Naoki''s warm face, Naoki held it tightly, "I''m glad I got to see you again" his face grew dark, "Even if it''s just a really lucid dream" the white room went black, then Naoki watched as Misa''s smiling face vanished.
Naoki stayed the way he had been, his arm still holding Misa even though, she was gone, his hand hovered over his cheek as if Misa''s hand was still touching his face, he could still smell her scent even though she was long gone, "I miss you" he whispered "I will respect your wishes, even though..." Naoki''s face darkned as he looked to the ground, "I don''t really want to" just then, Naoki could hear a voice calling out to him. He smiled, he knew the voice, "Looks like it''s time to wake up" Naoki looked up at the black sky and closed his eyes, when they opened again his eyes filled with the color of his room. As his eyes adjusted to the light a figure hovered over him, he could see long strands of brown hair flowing down, and a pair of brown eyes staring at him, he smiled "Morning Kirika" his cousin giggled "Mornin''" she smiled brightly.
Naoki yawned, he rose up from his bed and rubbed his head, "Did you sleep well?" Kirika asked, Naoki chuckled "Yeah, sure did, I had a really good dream too" Kirika hummed with intrigue "Really, what did you dream about?" she smirked, Naoki gave a simple smile "I''m not telling you" Kirika grumbled "Oh, come on! We always use to tell each other things like that!" Naoki looked over at Krika and chuckled. Naoki then noticed how Kirika was dress, she was wearing a t-shirt that was really loose on her body and was slipping off her shoulder revealing a bit of skin, Naoki blushed as he looked down and saw that Kirika wasn''t wearing pants. Naoki freaked out, "What the heck are you doing coming in here dressed like that!" Kirika gave a confused look, then she looked down, her face went red as she noticed the state of her attire, she sheriked and she knelt to the floor she pulled her shirt down to cover her exposed lower half but, that caused more of her upper body to be exposed,
Naoki could see a bit of Kirika''s clevage peering out from her shirt, Naoki looked away his face flushed, "Man, she really has grown a lot, in certain places" he heard Kirika groan "I can''t belive I was so careless.." she sighed, an akward silence filled the room, Naoki chuckled nervously "Uhm, thanks for waking me up Kirika" Kirika chuckled nervously, "Ye-yeah, your welcome, well, I''ll be going now!" with that Kirika bolted out Naoki''s room. When he didn''t hear her pounding footsteps Naoki sighed, "What a sight to wake up to" he rubbed the back of his head, Naoki looked out the window of his room and saw that it was early the next morning, "What time is it?" Naoki dug into his pocket and pulled his phone out. When he clicked the screen on his eyes went wide, "Oh, shit!" he then lept out of bed and quickly started to take off the clothes he had slept in "Gotta hurry!" he threw his shirt and pants on the floor in a pile.
This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
He went to the drawer next to the bed and opened the top one, he took a shirt and pants that he felt looked good together and threw them on, Naoki then went to his duffle bag and pulled out comb and he quickly fixed his bedhead the best he could he threw the comb back into the bag and he closed the drawer he had opened. But, before he left he looked down at the second drawer, even though the drawer was closed he could still smell the scent of flowers and sweet vanilla, a sad look came across his face as he remebered the dream he had. "I want you to move on" Misa''s words from his dream echoed in his head, Naoki tightened his fists, he then silently changed his shoes and left the room. As Naoki walked down the stairs he could hear sounds coming from the kitchen, before he stepped off the stairs Naoki took in a breath a put on a smile, he walked off the stairs and into the kitchen where he saw his Aunt busy making what was most likely breakfast.
"Morning Yumi-basan" Naoki greeted, his Aunt turned and smiled when she saw him, "Morning Naoki-dear, Would you like some breakfast?" Naoki smiled "No, I''m running a bit late, I just came to say I was heading out" his Aunt smiled "I see, thats too bad, see you when you get back then" Naoki nodded "Bye Aunty" he waved as he walked out the kitchen. "Do your best dear!" he heard his Aunt call out Naoki laughed "I will!" he gave a wave and started for the front door, he was about to walk out when his Uncle came out from the living room when he noticed Naoki he gasped, "Ah! Naoki-boy, wait a second!" Naoki stopped and looked over at his Uncle "What is it Takao-jisan? I''m kinda running late" his Uncle smirked. "I know, but, it''ll only be a second" Naoki sighed "Alright, what do you need Takao-jisan?" his Uncle smiled "Oh, I don''t need anything, there''s just something I wanted to give you" Naoki raised an eyebrow "Something you wanted to give me?" his Uncle nodded.
"Wait right there, I''ll got get it" with that his Uncle stepped back into the living room, Naoki didn''t have to wait long as his Uncle came rigt back this time, he had something in his hands, he walked over to Naoki and handed it to him "Here, it was your fathers when he went to college" the object his Uncle was handing him was a black leather bookbag. Naoki took it from his Uncle, "Wow, this looks really expensive" his Uncle chuckled "Yes, our father paid alot for that bag when Jyunichi annouced he''d be going to college" Naoki looked at his Uncle "I can''t use this, I mean it must mean so much" his Uncle raised his hand and Naoki went quiet, "It''s alright, I want you to use it, I know Jyunichi wouldn''t mind you using it" Naoki smiled. He looked down at the leather bookbag and then back at his Uncle, "Thanks Takao-jisan, I''ll use it carefully" his Uncle smiled and nodded a clock chime went off, "Oh man!" Naoki gasped his Uncle gave an apologetic smile "Sorry, you should leave now if you want to make it on time" Naoki nodded.
He bowed to his Uncle, "Thanks!" he then turned and opened the door and stepped out "See ya when you get back" his Uncle called Naoki smiled and nodded as he closed the door, Naoki made his way down the street he had started running after he stepped out the door, he dug his phone out his pocket and pulled up the map which had clearly marked directions "Please! Let me make it on time!" Naoki saw the time in the corner of his phone and that made him kick it into high gear. As he ran the metal parts of the bookbag clacked, he looked down at the bag and his face darkned, "I don''t deserve this" he felt like a bastard, he was holding something that held alot of value yet, he was here because of his own selfish reasons. "I want you to be happy" came Misa''s words from his dream, Naoki sighed "I can never be happy, because your not here" Naoki continued to run in silence on his way to the start of his college career.
