The sky is falling [open]

[Kisara]

‘The sky is falling…’

A thought flew into her head as tiny drops of liquid wet her long silver hair. She raises her right hand, opening the palm, catching those crystal droplets. The feeling of cold rushed to her body as thousand of the falling raindrop touches her milky pale skin. The once sunny day was now a cold dark day. The smallest star of the universe or as the people called it the sun, was no longer could be seen. The gloomy atmosphere starts to radiate the whole scenery. So much for taking a walk, the girl said mentally. But, the sudden change of the weather did perk her interest. Since she was small, she was fond with the rain and she didn’t know why? The sound of the falling rain perhaps? Or maybe the smell of the rain?

She dropped her right hand and began to walk, seeking for the closest shelter. Even though she wants to stay in the rain for a longer time, she knew she shouldn’t. If she continues, fever may greet her in the next morning. Slow steps turns into fast one. The rain didn’t ceased, it just continue on, sometimes poured heavily, sometimes light drops but it never stop. As she ran, she hope, hope she would not bump to anyone. The drizzling rain blocked her view so her sight was a bit blurry. But it seems her little pray was not answered by God. Her body collided with someone. But who?

[Luna Katanashi]

The trickling raindrops caressed her face. The crystalline liquids decorating her cheeks as teardrops; mingling with tears that mirrored pain. It was, but a dream--so life-like; so swift it passed her by. For what is too dear to lose, is too sweet to last.

Her best friend left and was then, adding herself to the heaven's scenery. Before, it was full of fresh flowers painting the sidewalks. But, is now converted to misty leaves. Winds of change blowing far and wide; unlucky her, they went by her side.

Her current feeling was left unrevealed.

Thud!

Something was pushing her backward harshly to the ground. She was just staring bluntly at the stranger.

"I'm so sorry, I was careless enough for not looking at my way."

[Kisara]

Cold, the hard pavement she felt. The sound of the big collision was heard but the sound of the rain covered it all. Her long silver bangs hide her platinum sets, getting wetter at the moment. Her petite body stiffened on the ground as bits of pain jolted like lightning into her body. She bit her pink glossy lips, closing her orbs, trying to fight the ache self. A voice. Did her ears deceive her? Someone was talking to her.

"I'm so sorry, I was careless enough for not looking at my way."

The female voice apologized. But why? Kisara was the one who bumped her, yet she asks for forgiveness. Raising her head, her eyes stare at the stranger. She had fine blonde hair and the girl eyes were looking bluntly at her. Quite a pretty girl, she noted. The left hand that once on pavement moves up, tucking her messy silvery silk. Elegantly, she stood up and dusted off imaginary dirt. Bearing a smile, she talked.

“Actually, I’m the one who should say sorry.”

One step forward to the unknown person. With one hand extend, she offers her.

“Here, let me help you.”

[Luna Katanashi]

'Actually, I’m the one who should say sorry.'

The petite girl could only close her eyes, wondering why people could only blame themselves that it's their fault when they bump into someone; that would suffice. Her loins were forming incredulous pain that she can't even stand up for herself. She could only shiver as the cold raindrops made her skin tingle with goosebumps and feel ever so cool at the same time.

'Here, let me help you.'

"Very well."

She replied politely as she accepted the girl's offer and stood up, the pain getting dull--it will just cease after a few consecutive seconds. The pain then, completely subsided. With the most sweet smile she could ever form, she dusted herself before the dirt will be engrossed on her clothing. In a while, she couldn't even detest the weather.

"Well, what brings you here? It's raining."

[Kisara]

As her smile never fades from her lips, she pulled the blonde up with a little strength she had. The running made her quite exhausted and a little tired out but she wanted to help the girl who was still sitting on the ground like a drop porcelain doll. The rain still continues to drop spontaneously and never seem to cease. She wonders why some people detest such wonderful weather.

"Well, what brings you here? It's raining."

The lips spoken. Seeking for an answer from her. What did bring her here? She herself wasn’t quite sure. Her heart urges her to go outside and suddenly it was raining. A coincidence perhaps? But there is no such thing as coincidence in the world. There is only the inevitable.

“No reason. Just fooling around. The weather is quite lovely isn’t it?”

The question was answered. She raises up her right hand and let the crystal droplets fell into the palm. Cold yet addicting.

[Luna Katanashi]

"Indeed, lovely."

The blond girl agreed beneath the rain, this procedure endured and was hoping deeply that the weather will forever be this way--but, she knew that it will be beyond absurd.

Luna checked back on the stranger's smiling face and the silver hair every few seconds, and was only reassured all the more each time. After which, she was forced to recall about when she was present in the good days in her past.

"Lovely..... and sad at the same time."

She added with a smile, instantly wiping the tears that were impatiently strolling down to her cheeks. She was obviously not placated about not stifling those tears from falling down like a waterfall; and right now, she was trying to control the vibe of her breathing.

"Anyway, what's your name?"

[Kisara]

Her platinum eyes kept staring at the dark above. She doesn’t care the rain drops that poke her large round eyes. It hurts, she might say but she can’t help but to look up. It was like a drug, it made her felt addict. The sky was pouring non-stop and it seems like it was crying. People tend to mistake the rainy weather as a gloomy atmosphere but some people like her likes the rain because it’s refreshing and soothing. It was music to ears, she says.

"Indeed, lovely."

She chuckled gracefully, hearing the stranger answer. It was no doubt, she likes the girl attitude.

"Lovely..... and sad at the same time."

Sad? The weather is sad? She thought, finally tearing her gaze and switch to the girl. The tears swiftly ran down from her cheeks, eyes were flooded with liquids, breathing began to shallow. Did she done something to make the girl sad? She asks herself. With a smile plastering on her face, the lips spoken a few words with a tone, Kisara can’t tell.

"Anyway, what's your name?"

She asks for her name. Hesitant, she was first but she decided to answer it anyway.

“Kisara Mizuhara. Call me Kisara or Kisa for short.”

“Why are you sad?”

Those words slipped out of her pink lips without thinking. She wanted to take it back but it’s too late. Might as well, hear her answer.

Gomen, Cass ._.

[Luna Katanashi]

So it's Kisara, huh? In a moment, she keeps on rehearsing silently in remembering her appearance and thus the name. It's all so easy to remember, yes. Plus, it's also easy to remember the details of her distressing incidents in her past. Even the blond girl who had been so miraculously saved from the jaws of death by her friends these days, she felt like a burden. She stared back again at the silver-haired girl who was decked in a wet finery.

'Why are you sad?'

"I'm not. Anyway, I'm Shanine Katanashi. A pleasure to meet you."

She told Kisara, not even offering for a handshake at her newfound acquaintance. Luna's eyes scanned around the place, seems like they were the only public characters here then. She deemed silently that her companion didn't encounter any major problems. Well, just her opinion. The blond girl, who was often a recipient of smiles at people, ceased her struggle from doing a bubbly attitude. It's just not appropriate for her -- really not appropriate.
