Nostalgia [Shin]

[Akira]

"...How...nostalgic"

A sigh came out from the girl's glossed lips. Her fiery red eyes closely looked at the people below her. She was far enough not to be seen by people yet, she was near to them. Her long black hair danced against the wind as it blew. Her long black hair that used to be crimson red like fire. She was wearing a black gothic dress, a very unusual clothing for a girl like her. The day was perfect or so it seems.

Sitting down on a branch of a certain tree, the girl just blankly stared at the people below. Getting a piece of paper beside her, she started folding a paper airplane. A ability of flying in the skies was her only dream and seeing other people with those kinds of alices that lets them get off the ground frustrates her even more.

"In the old times, People tried to make airplanes to fulfill their dreams of flying in the sky..."

As she let the paper airplane fly, her lips slowly curved itself into a smile. After a few seconds, the paper fell on the ground and now being stepped on unnoticeably by some people. Her smile slowly faded from her face. Such a simple dream cannot happen.

"W-Why can't be my dreams be fulfilled then?!", the girl shouted to the sky, as if asking the heavens. The people below her looked around them to see who just said that, but they couldn't. No tears fell from her eyes but she could feel herself sinking slowly, the girl was definitely tired of crying. She hasn't cried that much since Shin went to her life. Well, it's seems like a normal novel. It was her fault why Shin was unable to control himself from his alice, that's what she thinks. She was a cause of destruction in the academy.

"I shouldn't have lived then..so people wouldn't be hurt simply because of me..", the girl said to herself while letting out a slight chuckle. Letting out a sigh, she continued "..I-I want to be back..where someone will care for me.." Again, the brunette let out a sigh, a sigh of pure disappointment.

[Shin]

It was like any other day for the long haired crimson boy that was walking along the road where mostly people walks along of course, the guy was whistling a familiar sound the sound of happiness walking along merril, but Shin suddenly stopped upon seeing something peculiar, it was the sight of a mother desperately asking for help, Shin did not hesitate he ran toward the weeping mother and asked her what was the problem.

" Miss are you alright ? "


" My Baby.... please save my baby. "

Shin saw that the infant was near a cliff for it was dragged along by a large vulture. " Don't worry. " Shin said to the lady, he got out his white flame wings and flew toward the huge bird, the bird somehow knew what Shin was about to do, so it flew toward for a counter attack it wounded Shin in his left arm, Shin in the other hand burned the bird until it gave up the fight and flew away.


Shin grabbed the baby and flew back to return it to the thankful mother that was so amazed in Shin's heroic effort to save the baby.

" How may I ever repay you ? "


" No need to pay me anything, just stay out of trouble next time. "


The mother thanked Shin and quitely went on their way. Shin's knees gave in to the wound of his left arm. " What.... ?! " He thought to himself, the wound was painful and added to that Shin didn't noticed that a large piece of the birds claws was left. Shin rested his back on a random tree not noticing that someone was above him.

Shin called out his grandfather, Recca. To check on how bad was the damage done to him.

" Oji san.... It hurts so bad I don't know why... "

" Hmmmmm.... It seems the bird is no ordinary vulture, it was a poisonous type but its poison is still weak since its still young, you have to pull it out immediately. "

" Hai... domo Oji san. "

Shin's grandfather returned to his body. It was time for Shin to pull out the stucked claw, Shin grasped the edge firmly, he thought that it was his end since the pain he was enduring was like the feeling of him leaving Tamaki all alone.

He counted backwards from three to one before pulling it out, his black trench coat was starting to be filled with crimson fluid coming out of the wound, when he reaced to the count of one he pulled out the claw, he gave out a loud shout when the claw was out.


Droplets of blood covered the ground while little by little Shin started to cry remembering his past on how he loved Tamaki very much, on how her expression was when they first met, and on how he had his first kiss.


" Ta....ma...ki... chan.... "

Shin passed out from the truma he experienced the wound in the other hand closed slowly but Shin was still lossing some blood in the process. A long haired boy was knocked out under a tree where someone was sitting above a branch watching.........

[Akira]

" Ta....ma...ki... chan.... "

The voice was faint but she could hear it clearly. The voice was quite familiar but she wasn't able to recognize who it was. Was the girl hearing things? That shouldn't happen, since she's alone in that place or so she thinks. How could one know her real name when she's unrecognizable by any of her friends.

"How awkward", the girl said to herself as she continued to look at the crowd.

Then Aki looked below her, seeing a young man with a long crimson hair. At first, the girl just thought he was just sleeping but then she noticed something wrong. The girl jumped from the tree, then landed on her feet.

"What the?"

Seeing the young man like that, the girl was surprised. To think that this happened to him. After seeing a claw beside him, Aki realized that this was done because of a certain bird. Taking a deep breath, the girl took a gauze bandage and wrapped it on the young man's arm.

[Shin]

After a few hours, the crimson haired boy woke up from his painful sleep opening his eyes slowly he saw little blur of light as the image got clearer he raised his head and looked around. " What happened.... ? " He asked himself, he raised his head and puts it unto his forehead.


He noticed that a girl was sitting beside her and that she had covered the wound with bandage, Shin pulled his hair back and tied it into a ponytail. Shin stood up from where he was sitting, he then raised his hand and thanked the girl.


" Thank you for doing this..... I'm Kirisawa, Shin by the way...... again thanks. "


Seeing the girl with Shin's eyes made him wonder. " Why do I have an uneasy feeling when I'm with her right now...? and do I know this girl her eyes is familiar but the clothes and the hair. " Seeing Shin this polite to anyone brings the past impressions on the crimson haired boy, back then he was just quiet but stubborn, he was angry at the world, all of that changed when Shin met Tamaki.

Shin was waiting for his hand to be shook by the girl before they parted ways.

[Akira]

"What happened....?"

As the girl saw the young man open his eyes, the girl let out a sigh of relief. Aki flashed a smile and said, "I saw you like this when I was passing here....So, are you okay? Is there any part of your body that's in pain right now? Is there anything that I could do?" The young girl said that without stopping. It's always obvious when she gets worried, especially when someone gets hurt. The Tamaki Kousaka that they once knew hasn't changed one bit. Although her physical appearance seems to be different, her inner self hasn't changed.

"Thank you for doing this..."

The girl smiled back as the young man thanked her. In fact, the girl didn't do anything. She just wrapped the open wound with a gauze bandage. She isn't even sure if that wound already stopped bleeding. She always brought a gauze bandage with her, in case she or someone would get hurt

"...I'm Kirisawa, Shin"

B-BMP!

"..S-Shin?", The girl's eyes widen in shock. She felt her heart just skipped a beat. It's been a while since she last saw him. It was in a certain beach found in Unmei Island. As she can remember, the scenery from that place was simply marvelous. It was indeed beautiful. Shin seemed to be having dinner with a certain girl. Just because of her presense, the young man left the girl alone....and she could just remember him turning into something she just couldn't understand.

"O-Oh, I'm Ta- I mean Aki and it's a pleasure to meet you!", the girl looked at him with a smile as she shook his hand. If she could just cry in front of him, then she would. Seeing Shin like this, she simply wanted to be in his arms. Somewhere she wanted to be a long time ago. But- she just couldn't do that. She was afraid, afraid of hurting someone in the end. The girl looked below her.

"Anou, I want to tell you something..."

[Shin]

"O-Oh, I'm Ta- I mean Aki and it's a pleasure to meet you!" The girl said to him, there was something strange about the girls action for example the doubt of saying her name.

The girl suddenly added "Anou, I want to tell you something..." Shin smiled and noded. " What is it ? I'm not trying to be a big head jerk but if your finding someone like a boyfriend I'll pass cause I have to find the girl who made me the man that I' am right now.... Oh how I wish that I could see her again like always I'll hug her and never let go.... so sorry I got so carried away. "

Shin scrached his head thinking that this girl is probably see him as a jerk or something like that.

[Akira]

The girl continued looking at the ground. Her eyes were flooded with tears. She wanted to tell him but she couldn't. Aki shook her head.

"That's not what I wanted to say...I just want to say I'm sorry..."

The girl looked at him, tears fell from her eyes. All she could do is to say sorry to him. Her chest hurts, it's getting hard to breath but she can't do anything about it. The girl wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled.

"I wish you luck..It may be hard, but I'm sure your love for her will bring her back to you.."

"...I-I'm really sorry.."

[Shin]

OOC: Sorry for the long late reply.


" That's not what I wanted to say...I just want to say I'm sorry..." Aki said, Shin was shocked that she said sorry, he wondered why she has to say sorry even though she didn't do anything to Shin except saving his life. She suddnely cried after that Aki wiped her tears and added " I wish you luck..It may be hard, but I'm sure your love for her will bring her back to you.."

"...I-I'm really sorry.."


" Why did you cry ? did you remember something about someone special..... You don't have to say sorry I should be the one to say that to you since I caused you alot of trouble. "


Shin noticed something familiar about the crying thing, it was like, Tamaki. He remembered that she was always crying but even though Tamaki was always sad she didn't just noticed that Shin was always there.


Setsuna Suddenly spoke in Shin's mind in a whisper. " Shin ! Shin ! " it was like Setsuna has something important to tell Shin, he replied back. " Yeah? " Setsuna answered. " That girl I know her I could see her alice with my eye...... She.... is.... the girl you've been searching for, she is Tamaki. " In shock Shin's eyes widened, he couldn't believe in what he heard.


" Could it be possible ? " Shin asked himself, he pondered about the matter. "

[Akira]

Smile as you always do, don't let anything interfere..

" Why did you cry ? did you remember something about someone special..... You don't have to say sorry I should be the one to say that to you since I caused you alot of trouble. "

The girl shook her head in disagreement then she smiled and said, "Really, it was nothing". She did help him because the young man was injured. Well, she just couldn't leave anyone injured.

Aki felt something, a sudden presence. She couldn't figure out who it was, but it felt strange. After a while, the girl noticed something with Shin. He seems to be surprised for a reason. Aki walked to him and looked at his face with a worried expression.

"Ne, ne..Shin-san...are you ok? Is there something that's bothering you?"

The young girl asked her with sincerity. Her bright crimson red eyes continued to stare into his. Then suddenly, she smiled.

"Wanna go somewhere? If you don't mind."

[Shin]

"Ne, ne..Shin-san...are you ok? Is there something that's bothering you?" She said, Shin just noded in disagree and said " No... no... I'm ok.. " Aki suddenly added "Wanna go somewhere? If you don't mind."


Shin again was shocked, he did not know what to do. " No.... I don't mind going with you, since I have nothing to do rather than to find the love of my life... have you seen her? this is what she looked like. " Shin raised his hands and white flame started to to form into an image, it was a girl with crimson eyes and pink hair then it disappeared.


" So, shall we? "


Shin tied his hair into a pony tail and turned it into white with his flame, his eyes into blood red since this was his fashion of choice for the day.

[Akira]

The young girl looked at the flame. As she looked closely, she saw something- No, someone. A girl with beautiful crimson red eyes and long ‘pink’ hair. The 'her' that she used to be. The girl that everyone won't remember and see once again. Aki continued to look at the young man, her eyes saw something from his. He was desperate to find her.

No.... I don't mind going with you, since I have nothing to do rather than to find the love of my life... have you seen her? this is what she looked like. "

Aki shook her head and said "...I haven't". She felt guilty, it hurts her..and she knows it hurts him even more. Someone better should find Shin, other than her. The girl's afraid to love. The more she sees herself in Shin's heart, the more she notices how impure she is. She just wanted him to forget her, as she is. The girl covered her emotions with a smile, a fake smile that no one notices.

"Don't worry, If I saw her...I'll tell you as soon as possible, ne?"

" So, shall we? "

The girl flashed a smile and held the young man's hands. She tried to be a little childish. A trait that she doesn't have. She won't use her alice, since it would tell everything. Shin knew how to read her alice, that would be easier for him to know. Aki looked at him and asked him with a childish tone.

"Shinyan, any specific place you wanna go?"

[Shin]

"Don't worry, If I saw her...I'll tell you as soon as possible, ne?"

She said, Shin was really thinking how was it possible that this girl is Tamaki-chan she isn't her attitude. " So, shall we? " She added and suddenly held Shin's hand it was indeed a warm hand, a hand of a flame user.

"Shinyan, any specific place you wanna go?" Aki said in a childish tone. Shin nodded, and said " Yes ! as a matter of fact I... have...." Shin felt something painful in his body, he covered his hand over his mouth and a burst of few blood went through the little gap of his fingers.

When Shin was a young boy, he was diagnosed with Tuberculosis it wasn't really that terrible since he was still young but as he got older his lungs gave up, he once remembered the doctor said that he has until his 14th birthday for him to live.

Shin was coughing violently blood oozes out from the gap of his fingers as he continues to cough, his knees gave in he knelt down with his tears that starts to fall from his eyes.

*cough* " Please....... I already know who you are..... why are you trying to lose me....? I do not have much time to live..... I must tell you....... I love you Tamaki...... " *cough*

Shin continues to cough, but he suddenly passed out.

[Akira]

" Yes ! as a matter of fact I... have...."

"So, where?

The young girl looked at him with a smile. The young man suddenly began coughing violently, then she went to him and asked, "Shinyan...? What's wrong?. As she looked below her, she noticed something on her black dress. Crimson red liquid, blood? Horrified, she looked at his hands and saw red stains.

Tubercolosis?, she thought.

" Please....... I already know who you are..... why are you trying to lose me....? I do not have much time to live..... I must tell you....... I love you Tamaki...... ", the young man suddenly blurted out while coughing.

Aki dumbfoundly look at him. Tears started to fall from her eyes. He knew that she was Tamaki, but how? Is there anything wrong that she has done from the start that made him know? No, she must not think about this for now. All she needs to do is to help Shin.

The girl wiped her tears that fell from her face. Lifting his fainted body from the ground, she carried him on his shoulders. Then she carried him all the way to the infirmary.

"dame, I'm not the Tamaki that you used to know..."[/i]
