Konnichiwa, minasan [Closed]

[Luna Katanashi]

It is already late in the afternoon. When the door opened to the entrance of this place full of people who are injured, out comes a girl who literally has a bruise on the right elbow. Recently, she carelessly strode around the Academy when she suddenly wasn't careful enough to notice a stone, ready to trick her feet. When she finally felt her body falling unto the mud and her right elbow hitting the sharp part of the ground, this was the result. Hence, check out the dress she was wearing, completely smeared and plastered with dirt everywhere. Her face, however, there was only several spots of brownish, wet dirt.

There was a nurse there, standing stiffly and was talking face to face to a poor, little boy who has a sprained leg. Luna didn't bother to interrupt them for it is a sign of disrespect. After minutes of sticking in a waiting session, their talk was finally over. The nurse then, inched nearer towards Luna. She was completely visible here, since they were currently only the two of them, dotting the area. Without a speech, she showed her injury to the nurse. At this, the nurse slightly nodded and went hurriedly towards a room.

Luna decided to wait for the nurse to come back instead of just wasting time in trailing behind her. As she came back, she was sticking a bandage at Luna's injury. At first, she felt pain, but it became dull after several moments.

"That should do it."

The nurse uttered and placed her hands on her waists. She was proud of her work. Then, she left.

"Right, thank you."

Luna smiled weakly, utterly trying to sound cheerful and fine. Until, she felt a shadow falling beside her right leg. Another shadow of a person. At this, she tried to improve her appearance by trying to remove the dirty spots from her dress and her face. But, it's useless, because they already became stains.

[`Shaira`]

"Ouch!" Shaira exclaimed as the nurse put bandage to her left arm. She almost cry because of pain. "What happened?," she thought to herself. She isn't that kind of dummy who would just fall in a tree without any reason. But what happened? She was wearing her all time favorite orange T-shirt with a bunny design on it saying hello and a dirty jeans. Her hair reaches the end of her spinal column and was wearing her broken sandals.

When the nurse was finished putting on the bandages, she put on a fake smile to her face. She can still feel a big pain. Yeah, REALLY big... Then, suddenly, she remembered what happened earlier.

She was sitting on a branch of a tree. She don't know that the branch was about to crack. Maybe it's because of her weighing for almost 15 years old. Nowadays, she eats more and more. Actually, she isn't fat because she is tall. Then, the branch suddenly fall, of course, she also fall from the tree. So... DUMMY of her...

Kids were staring at her laughing. Adults supposed to be smart but still, she isn't adult. Just looking like one. Then, she tried to reach the infirmary with a broken arm. Good thing, that the infirmary is near the tree.

She stopped thinking those thoughts and tried to move her left arm. But, everytime she move an inch it makes her say, "OUCH!" A girl came in. She is dirty and all wet. Muds... she hates them. It looks like uhmm... a poo poo to her. Wait, the girl is unfamiliar to her. So, she stands up without being noticed and walk behind her.

"Hello..." It's a pretty scary voice.

[Luna Katanashi]

Hello..., she heard a voice came from behind her. Since she was startled, she gasped, her shoulders shuddered and bravely turned around. It was a girl, another Alice user. This girl has brown hair and its length reaches to the spiral column of hers. Of course, she can also insert another proper greeting as a response and better yet, start a conversation to at least know a part of each other's identities. With a weak smile, she tried to adjust her voice to a cheerful one.

"Konnichiwa."

Uttered the depressed Luna as she waved at the girl. She shyly tucked one of her golden locks at the back of her ears and went a little closer with her head bowed down. As she was thinking for another set of cues that has to be said like "What's your name" and miscellaneous, she bit her lower lip, she is totally a shy type. This time, she has to know about her companion's name. The name! Out of curiosity, she decided to ask that.

"Um, may I know your name, Miss?"

She asked sweetly, trying not to release a quivering voice. Maybe it can cause the girl to worry, but Luna's voice has a bit of sadness into it, hope the girl will pay no mind to it.

[`Shaira`]

"Konnichiwa."

Confused, she coughed quietly to switch to an appropriate voice that would not scared the girl. Hmm... another Japanese girl. She's glad to see someone just like her.

"Ahem! A--- Did I scare you? You seems uhmm... scared and frightened." She's different now from before. She is not that shy now but she knows where is the limit of "not being shy". She still respect others. She smiled and get the chair near them, put it beside the girl. She slowly sit down onto the chair.

"Um, may I know your name, Miss?"

Too... shy? or she's just sad? These are the words circling inside her mind. Well, it doesn't matter anymore because she knows that someday she won't be shy to her anymore. And also, the girl won't be sad anymore because she's funny. Not in the face but because it's fun to be with her.

Wait, a thought come to her mind. Maybe the girl doesn't talk to strangers. She should introduce herself now. She thought for a few seconds on what to say then start.

"Watashi wa Orasagawa Shaira. Hajimemashite!" She smiled and tried to think that it will be fun speaking in one of her known languages. Well, she's too careless. She doesn't know what might happen...

[Luna Katanashi]

OOC: Sorry for the delayed reply and the crappiness of my post. X___X

"Yosh! Watashi wa Shanine Katanashi."

Luna replied in a Japanese matter as well. She then, observed the girl's appearance. She too, has a wound. Only that the wound is located on Shaira's left arm. Concerned about this, she glanced back at her fellow Alice-user's face. Her face turning dead serious at this time.

"Daijoubu?"

She could feel pain slowly returning on her knee as she tried to walk to travel to another spot, she felt uncomfortable in staying in the same area, she could feel so much heat there. To avoid screaming for the best of her embarrassment level, she just remained in the spot despite the hotness in the area.

She checked her knee, blood seeped through the bandage slowly. Painful, maybe she is moving too much? Her skin is sensitive, as a matter of fact. Her long, blond hair shook and brushed against her neck as she glanced back again to Shaira.

"Ouch?"

Luna exclaimed. Now that was kinda painful. Maybe according to her skin, it is as painful as if being sliced by a sword?

[`Shaira`]

"Yosh! Watashi wa Shanine Katanashi."

She smiled and felt better hearing this. Her spirits become high. "Ehh!!!! Nice to meet you Shanine! Uhmm... anou ne... What can I call you? Uhmm... Shan-chan, or better just Shanine?" Again, she tries to move her left arm but somehow still, it hurts. She put a fake smile into her face and sweat drops from her forehead.

"Daijoubu?"

"Hai... just a little... i---itai!!!" She shout and stop moving her arm. "It seems that I shouldn't move my left arm or else I'll be hurt again. But, don't worry I'm okay now." This time she smiled true to her heart looking at the eyes of Shanine.

She notices the injury of Shanine. She was shocked and surprise to see blood oozing from the girl's knee. "Shanine! I'm supposed to be the one to ask you if you're okay!! I should call a nurse!"
"Ouch?"

"Anou.. uhh... NURSE!!! Help Shanine!" She shouts waiting for a nurse to come and cure Shanine.

[Luna Katanashi]

"Just call me whatever you want."

She uttered. Just until, she noticed her companion already panicking, because of the wound seeping through, she called the nurse. This caused Luna to panic too. But, she didn't move a muscle. Still, drips of blood impatiently trailed all the way down until they dropped to the floor, dabbed at the wetness.

"Wait, wait. It's ok."

She spoke no louder than a whisper. Who knows, maybe they will be lashed about making unnecessary noises. If that happens, Luna should not blame it to Shaira for everything. Unless you listened carefully, the place would seem completely noisy despite in staying in a very far distance.

The arrival of the nurse did not come quick enough for Luna. As she rushed to put a lot of bandages on her knee, Luna felt pain occurring again, but it became dull after a few consecutive moments. She will totally reproach herself for crying in just an injury that is not severe, it's just childish.

Despite the pain, the air seemed to be bouncing around. Like a flamingo in a flock of pigeons. Maybe this air was trying to let her breath, since she was holding it, if she doesn't hold it much, she might scream or whimper.

She looked back at Shaira. She was indulged enough to have a friend like her. Or is she still specified as a stranger? She left her thoughts as the nurse left quickly.

"Arigatou, Shaira-san."

[`Shaira`]

Millions of apologies for this late reply. Please forgive me!!

"Just call me whatever you want."

"Okay, if that's what you want. I'll just call you by your name." What a cute friend she has! She thought to herself. She seems crazy staring off on a blank space. Having noticed that blood, she really hate seeing them, she panicked.

"Wait, wait. It's ok."

"No it's not okay!" She try to be calm by inhaling and exhaling ten times fastly. She panicks like there is a fire going on. She is acting like stupid and confused. Trying to be calm... okay... calm... just be calm, the nurse comes to cure Shanine's wound.
"Arigatou, Shaira-san."

"Oh...dou itashimashite!!" She suddenly blushed and scratch her head. "Aw, shocks... hmm... I should also thank you. Hontou ni arigatou... because you're such a ggod friend to me. Earlier, you just ask me if I'm okay. You are a real friend. You're bestfriend must be lucky to you." She smiled and look at Shanine's face.

"I hope you considered me now as your friend..."

[Luna Katanashi]

'Earlier, you just ask me if I'm ok.', Shaira said. Yes, Luna's real concern earlier was on Shaira, worrying that her wound might reach to its worsening state. You're best friend must be lucky to you? Luna nearly barfed at those words, she was the one who caused her own best friend's death. Then again, the memory might not banish.

'I hope you considered me now as your friend...'

"Shaira, I consider everyone as my friends."

She admitted, but didn't initially smile. After a while, silence came and the cold air enveloped her. She only could smell faintly the medicines from afar and direly wanted her wound to be healed immediately like in a mere second. Shaking her head now, she averted her gaze from the floor.

"We might as well retire back to our dorms to rest, shall we?"

[`Shaira`]

"Anything wrong?" She said noticing the sadness and the pain that her dear friend feels. Being respectful to Shanine's feelings, she doesn't ask about the problem anymore. "Just forget it." She smiled but deep inside her she is really concerned.

"Shaira, I consider everyone as my friends."

Hearing it, all the problems and concerns and everything that saddens her become stupid and vanish for a little while. "Yatta!!!!! Arigatou, Shanine!" She said while raising her two arms. "Ow..." She quickly exclaimed. The injury hurts a little bit but it doesn't affect her too much. She needs a long rest. It is just like that.
"We might as well retire back to our dorms to rest, shall we?"

"You're right! We should rest so that we can regain our energy! And, so that, we can be as cheerful as ever!" The day is filled with happiness, despair, confidence, curiousity and smiles. It won't be the way it is if she doesn't fall from the tree. It won't be that way it is if she didn't here that single word from her new friend. She will never forget the word that starts their friendship.

She stands up from the chair. "Mata ashita, Shanine!" She shouted and go to the door. Her last words were "Tomorrow, let's say Konnichiwa minasan!" She stopped for a moment and speak again. "Together, okay?" And then, she walks out until she vanished.

[Luna Katanashi]

Luna made a fake laugh when she noticed how cheerful her acquaintance was. How relieved she was that Shaira is happy like that. For many days, her mind had been tempest-tossed. Many times had the raging past appears in her dreams and then, increases in fury until all of her hope was completely driven away in forgetting it.

'You're right! We should rest so that we can regain our energy! And, so that, we can be as cheerful as ever!'

"Well said, Shaira.", she said softly.

'Mata ashita, Shanine! Tomorrow, let's say Konnichiwa minasan! Together, okay?', Shaira added cheerfully.

Luna just nodded, flashing a smile as she always does to the people who treats her as nicely as an angel. She was waiting for her to leave first until, Shaira's figure was finally in a shrinking size until, her figure was never been seen again. Luna's lips curled down and exited slowly, hoping that she will never visit this Infirmary again.
