Story for the Next Generation
Chapter 2

Yuuhi woke up to the sounds of heavy rain and the feeling of a fleeting happiness. His body sprawled out on the grassy wet grounds, night enveloped his sights, and ominous clouds overhead told him that he needed to get home right away. Yuuhi looked left and to his right without moving a muscle, his surroundings almost seemingly without recognition.

"Wh..ere?" slurring his words slightly, his mouth also weakened in an unexplainable way like the rest of his body. He started to shiver mentally and physically. Lifting the only arm he could feel at the moment he tried to touch the right of his face, which was bruised earlier, a sign of reality in his mind.

How long have I been here? Yuuhi thought to himself gripping the grass with his one good hand to feel the grounds below, trying to push himself up.

Numb…

He realized that most of his body was numbed, pushing himself up seemed like dead weight. Struggling to get up he grunted and cried out in anger and frustration. He was lucky enough to be a good amount of distance near a tree to give him balance; crawling his way over to it slowly he began to regain his composure as he grabbed onto the trees bark and lifted himself upward.

"DAMNIT!"

He lowered his head in a sweat and knew he really had to focus where he was and how to get to shelter quick. The rain was not letting up anytime soon and that made it just much less easier to give all his energy to his body. Looking back and forth as much as he could, Yuuhi remembered where he gone and why, how he feel asleep crossed his thoughts for a brief second but then concentrated on getting out of the forested area he was in. Breaking his one hand off of the tree and onto his other arm he moved his left foot forward and limped his right behind him, trying to get a solid pattern of movement.

Nee-san

"Nee-san" Yuuhi kept thinking to himself the thought of Suzumi. No matter how far apart they were in blood, he always knew that she was the only one who ever understood him and took care of him because she cared enough to do so. His eyes started welling up as he continued to walk each step colder and more painful than the last. The streets were desolate and no one was around to possibly help him. He felt foolish; he let himself act on impulse rather than forethought and now his sister could be in need of him, he felt as if he was wasting time.

"I'm. so…so sorry…" he repeated to himself, hoping that maybe somewhere his sister would hear him.

Yuuhi felt his body weaken by the minute and he started to cough violently so he to stop and get a grip of himself.

What the hell is wrong with me?

He soon peered the corner and saw his house in the clearing of the thickening fog, only hoping that no one would be there to see him like this, that he'd just take a shower and cleanse his body of these feelings and help Suzumi.

"I don't care!" he yelled a to the silence around him. He neared the entrance to his house and felt his eyes blur and his breathing give out, opening the door to darkness he saw the wood on the walls and the beautiful patterns of flowers blur and spin into a mesh of colors and then nothing…

In her mind she saw a devastating event and it became the concern of what her future would be at this point and there would be no turning back. She witnessed such a strong emotion when she was on earth of this man who had such a pure soul; he was the epitome of inner conflict and pure human emotion. She never knew her heart to be so carefree again and be brought to life in such a way.

"But then was never the time to think of such things." She knew factually that to be overcome again would be a great sign of weakness and desperation. A sign of mortality and death, a sign of pity and remorse, confusing and hate…a human cycle of hell and she would be in the center of it all again.

"It could restart again, or I could be happy again, we could be happy…" she was possessed by an inner desire to find out again to give in to pure love and never back to revenge or hatred.

"Can it be done? Why would I be so foolish myself?"

another man, another misery
another man, another love
another man, another mortal
another man, another life…

She haggled with herself until she found herself crying for no reason, it was the first time she opened her eyes since she was sent back to solace in heaven.

"I cannot lie…I want to be loved again. I will not be bound by the law of the land anymore" she told herself and commanded to herself in the gentlest and most positive way.

I learned so much from you, you deserve more than this life because you are more than just another human. I made a promise and it was never kept… things such as this should never be forgotten. Please wake up again, do not close your eyes eternally yet, wake up and wait for me, please wait for me…

Wake up…

"Yuuhi…"

In his dreams he saw nothing, in his heart he felt nothing and in his memories there was only sadness left. A shadow of who he was once was lying on the floor, a soul unconnected and confused. Nothing made sense at this instance, memories of his childhood, his time with his brother, his sister, uncomforting feelings all meshed together. No time to think or willing recall. The flashes before him ripped through his soul and a hand ever so gently, touched his face melting the pain away in such a purest sensation, voices surrounding the atmosphere; familiar voices all calling out to him.

Yuuhi, you can't do this to yourself, you have so much to live for.
I'll always be here in your mind and with your spirit
It's not your time yet

There was no response from him, there was nothing he could do his mind could not reason with the questions and thoughts flooded from these feelings. There was a desperate urgency to call his attention before he would slip into a total state of emptiness.

Your brother and your father love you…
It's hard to believe; deep down they care for you deeply…
Please, there be someone waiting for you…I need you to listen to me…Yuuhi!
Yuuhi…wake up!

Yuuhi fluttered his eyes, his vision still blurred. He felt the stinging in his eyes worsen as a glimmer of light passed through a window. Squinting a little more than he already had he tried moving his body again, although it hurt he was able to lift his head and hands. The stiffness of his muscles in his neck and body told him he must've been out for a while then thinking why and how afterwards. The door left open from the previous night drifted in a cool and gentle breeze an aftermath of a passed storm, the phone rang. Yuuhi grabbed onto the floor beneath him and slowly lifted himself up from his place; he rubbed the back of his neck and followed the sound of the phone.

Where is everyone he thought to himself, expecting to see his father and his so called brother floating around looking important. Groaning he picked up the phone located in the living quarters of the household and spoke, "Hello.." his voiced cracked a bit.

"Where the hell were you! You have some nerve not coming home last night! I tried calling you all damn morning!" Yuuhi shook his head lightly, and repulsed at hearing the voice of his brother talking to him in that manner…he remembered a punch from the night before. Yuuhi ignored his brother's rants and spoke over him demanding an answer,

"How come you guys aren't over here bitching at me?"

There was an eerie silence soon following his words. Yuuhi looked around and directly into his sister's room where she was being taken care of and panicked at the sight of her missing.

"Nee-san…" Yuuhi gasped, his heart beating faster and faster, his breathing claming up.

"She…" his brother tried to get the words out.

"TELL ME! Where is Nee-san!" Yuuhi felt his eyes welling up, his mouth becoming dry; he knew the answer all too well. He wanted to hear it straight from his brother's words though for reassurance first.

"…passed away…", even someone as loud to Yuuhi as Tomonori was solemn and bitter at the same time. Devastation filled the air and life's bittersweet hate overtook them both. The words to Yuuhi seemed like an eternity of pain spilling out with each letter spoken and there was a moment of breathlessness.

"Yuuhi…" his brother tried asking for some sort of response.

He looked down at the floor as if the answers were written on them reading each line in the wood as if he were reading a book. Yuuhi's hand began to shake and his eyes were blank and emotionless, speechless…

"You better get over here soon." Tomonori stated.

With the phone in hand, Yuuhi dropped it, hitting the floor hard and with an almost defining sound to his ears, having no interest to properly hang it up in it's spot. His brother still trying to talk slightly but realizing there would no response on the other end. Yuuhi dragged himself around the house containing his rage and sadness inside his heart while he began to recollect his thoughts.

How..how did this happen…

Moving into his sister's room with much grief he sat down in the middle of the room and held his two knees together concealing his face and any pain he was feeling. He refused to break down he knew that he couldn't do this anymore, feel this pain it said he would stop breaking himself on the inside after she died. Ever since though his sister was always there for him keeping him comfort reassuring him that he wasn't the only one in the world who felt the way he did. Suzumi would always relate to him no matter what it was a bond that was unspoken and heartfelt, it made him realize you didn't need blood to make a true family.

"Nee…nee..san…" Yuuhi mumbled through his breathless voice. Holding his head tighter and tighter he felt a need to scream out, instead he breathed a sigh and positioned himself on the floor next to his sister's bed. Entranced and broken he closed his eyes reflecting on all the good times they had together; perhaps it was the only thing left in whatever sanity was remaining to calm him. In the distance he heard the only sound that echoed through the household, the unattended phone that he dropped earlier he had no intentions of getting up or caring at this point because it was the only thing that broke the silence of death ringing in his ears.

A beautiful beach, a familiar area and the smell of mortality filled the air. A little girl was standing at the point of a cliff overlooking this beauty, a land filled with waters that sparkled yellow and oranges of the setting sun. She was pale with beautiful brown hair and crimson eyes, naked, and alone she stared out into the ocean pondering the future and her certain destiny the colors of the sky reflecting off her own colors. This is where is all starts and where it ends always the same, she sat down and let the wind carry her thoughts about the boy she would soon come to meet again.

"Wait for me…" the little girl said softly and heavenly.

"I am…I am…."

She found herself confused about her own name, what would she call herself she thought. A name not reflecting the one from the past, a new one, one she could learn to love with and one she would not regret having to live with for the rest of her mortal life in this world. The girl kissed her innocence, her hand, the last feeling of the robe melting away into her body as she knew she would be have to grow up once more. She took her long flowing hair and wrapped her body with it, laying down in a warm spot she smiled and began to hum a tune from the heavens and dreamt only of the future

Ahh! It's amazing..a story I actually finished the second chapter to! Well if I came this far I do plan on continuing it. Though it's still morbid I'm trying to do everything in my power to make this thing make sense and be explainable by the end of the story. I'm even making myself think of scenarios of loop holes and holes in generally so I can explain myself later. Anyway I hope you enjoyed this chapter, but it's a bit shorter than the last. ^^; All reviews are welcome, please do tell me how much this fanfic is boring even =)
