Thread: Best Friends are the Best Lover (Yuri*Sakura)

The girl stared at Yuki as he spoke. His words and looks froze her in her place. She was left speechless at his harsh words. She didn't know what to say nor how to even react. The girl flinched when Yuki grabbed her chin and the next thing she knew she was on her bum. Tears began to break the corners of her eyes, streaming down her cheeks. A couple of the other girls immediately went to her side. A couple of the guys had done so as well, some glaring at the door where Yuki had just left. Yuri managed to sneak her way past some administrators as she made her way to the roof top of the building. With a heavy sigh, she allowed her bag to fall to the floor of the roof top and tilted her head back. Her eyes fixated upon the clouds, watching them as they floated by. As those golden hues fixated upon the clouds, her mind began to drift and everything else seemed non-existent to her. Her facial expression changed entirely as she was transfixed as though she was hypnotized. The sound of young children's laughter echoed in her mind. She could barely make out any words they were giggling to one another, but she knew they were saying something. A faint image came into her mind, everything was vague and shadowed out but only one thing stood out. There was a small girl with long, white hair. The hair was white as snow. Suddenly, words were rather audibly and filled Yuri's ears. We'll be together forever, Yu-chan. We're the best of friends, right? the words were so gentle and caring, there was deep love in them. Another small voice seemed to respond to the words, the voice being even more familiar to Yuri. Of course YuYu-Kun. I love you mostest. We should get marry when we get older. the voice giggled with delight. Yuri's eyes began to glossen over, glistening. Her breathing was rather stagger and heavy. Yuri took in a deep breath and shook her head as her surrounding came back into focus. Her head aching and throbbing. As Yuri went to place a hand upon her head, it grazed across her cheek and she noticed the moist feeling. She had been shedding tears, but why? Whatever it was that had been building up finally was becoming released. For whatever reason, Yuri just wanted to cry. She felt as though her throat was constricting, making it just a little harder for to breathe. Slowly, Yuri slid down to sit and pulled her legs to her chest. Her head slumped forward as she placed her forehead against her knees and began to sob. There was such a deep pain attacking her. Her body was being constricted and squeezed. She couldn't understand the pain, but it was familiar to her. Her entire body ached as though something of vital importance had been removed from it. Yuri took a few deep breaths as she steadied herself, calming herself to rid away the tears that were plaguing. She didn't understand what it was that was driving her in this direction. Why she was in such deep pain and ache. In the past, she would have sought out comfort from her mother, but that was all behind her. Something had changed in her child and since then she bottled things up and kept them to herself. Yuri did not want to plague others with her problems. She wiped her face a few more times, relaxing her muscles. With a heavy, and deep sigh, she stood up and walked towards the edge of the roof. Around the roof top was a tall fence to help ensure that no one 'accidentally' fell over the side. Reaching up, she gripped onto the fence and stared out through the wire at the fields and watched as students hurried about in their sport activities during their gym period. Meanwhile at a Local Cafe A woman, in her early thirties, was sitting at the local cafe, awaiting for a visitor. She was waiting patiently as she read through her book. She a young mother, having had her only child at the age of sixteen. Yet, despite having been such a young mother, she was still quite a looker, catching the eyes of everyone no matter where she went. Her collar bone length hair was pulled back and wrapped into messy-neat bun. Her hazel hues were intent in the book. She had not seen the other in many years, not since her ex husband dragged her and their child out of the town. The only thing positive that came from meeting that man was her daughter. She only regretted that she was not stronger in the past. Perhaps Yume would still be alive and Yuri would still have that glow to her. Ever since they were given the news of Yume's death, Yuri had never been the same. Even through all the counseling, Yuri had changed. The doctors told Touru and her ex that Yuri had built up a wall. No matter how much they may attempt, there was no breaking that ball and it may be for the better. To not push Yuri. Touru Heart wished dearly she could change the events of the past. Her heart ached for her daughter. Perhaps seeing Yume's aunt would rekindle some light. At the same time, Touru was worried about what would happen. The doctors told Touru that it may help Yuri with re-opening up. Hopefully they were correct. She had already made too many terrible mistakes and she did not want to make anymore. The bell attached to the top of the door rang and sounded as someone entered the cafe. One of the waiters smiled as they greeted the visitor. Hello Ms. Yousei. Good to see you again. Mrs, well, I should say Ms now shouldn't I? the waiter lightly chuckled to himself, Ms. Heart is waiting for you. There was a warm smile on his face as he led Yume's aunt to Touru's table. The moment Touru spotted her, her own face lit up. It was great to see her again. It had been far too long, but there was sadness in her expression. It's good to see you again. she stood as she gave the other woman a warm hug before taking her seat. She slid her book into her bag and took a sip from her tea. Touru waited as the waiter gathered up the other woman's order and went to place, allowing the two women to become reacquainted. It has been so long. I'm so glad to finally be home. The biggest mistake I ever made was marrying Zack and allowing him to drag myself and Yuri out of here. I, I also wanted to give my condolences. After we heard the news of Yume's death, we tried to reach her parents since we did not have your number any longer, but the line was disconnected. Yuri was so devastated, she locked herself away. I'm hoping by her being home, she'll unlock and take down the barriers she put up. Once again, I'm so sorry for your loss and for how long it took for me to gather up Yuri and come here.
