Urufu fired up
the grills with Kyoko watching and Yukio helping. Talking about
having children made her remember the reason she and Yukio would
transit in a few days.
Unfortunately she
also recalled the events that followed. Urufu and Kuri-chan breaking
up, the chaos between Ai-chan, Ryu and Kuri-chan during and after
spring break. Her own fears when they had a gorilla in a costume
tagging along whenever they left school.
Noriko, how
Noriko alone had tried to keep it all together, and how she
eventually failed in the end. Urufu's absence and return, and over
everything else, the shadow of a man whom she only knew of as Yukio's
English teacher until everything changed.
Second year in
high school was supposed to be the spring of youth. Sure, a
stereotype, but still.
Second year in
high school had started like anything but.
Kyoko squirmed
uncomfortably when the memories took her back. Only by anchoring her
sight on Yukio's back did she regain the feeling of trust and safety
he always gave her.
Her Yukio.
Her lovely Yukio.
