April 15, 2003, Kyoto, Kanryu Park (5:23 pm)

"Hey! Wait for me!" I said as I was chasing my Friend at the Playground of Kanryu Park "Never, you're just really slow" He said as he was sticking out his tongue at me. *Bleh "You will never be able to catch up to me" "Ehh?? What did you say?" I got insulted by his provoking words, then I started to run as fast as a Tiger! *Rawr! *Gwahhhh! "Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, STOP IT!!!!, I was a joke, it was just a JOKE!!!" He said as he was running away like a deer. "Not yet! I'm going to catch you, bakayaro~ (Idiot)" I said as I was only an inch closer. "I got you!" I dove to take him down. "Not a chance" He smiled at me, and then, in a blink of an eye, he evaded my tackle. "Huh?" *Plosshhh* As I dove into the sandbox.

"Hahaha! I got you" He said as he smiled mischievously at me. I popped out of the sandbox *Plush* then I shook my head *Shake shake. "You little-!" I said as I was holding out my fist at him and as the vain in my head became visible. *Whoosh!* At a split second, I swept him off of his feet. "Woah!!!" And then I grabbed him by his legs, then I yelled out the name of my Ultimate Finishing Move! "Ultimate Cyclone Throw!" *Splosh!!!* As I threw him in the sandbox, the sand spread in the air like sparkling dust. *Plop* Then his head appeared in the middle of the sandbox. "Now we're even!" I smirked at him as I watch him sitting in the sandbox. "Ehhh?? This is not yet over" He smiled at me, menacingly.

He looks at me and he said "Wait, your hair pin" "Huh? What about it?" I said. While looking at his dirty face. "It's missing......." as the wind blew, my hair started to spread towards the Sun. And that's when I realized, "Heh?? Haaa!!!!!" I lost the hair pin that my Mother gave me. "This is bad!! The Hair Pin that Mom gave me! I lost it!" I yelled as if it is the end of the world. "Don't worry. Maybe it's around here somewhere, or........." He said to me as he was thinking. "Or??? Tell me!!" *Snap "Ahhhh! Maybe it's here, in the sandbox." He said confidently. "Huh? Are you sure?" as I my eyes were tearing up. "Of course! It was gone after you dove into the sandbox" He smirked at me, you idiot! "So it was your fault!" Blaming him from evading my suicide attempt to take him down, "Saying it's my fault won't bring your beloved hair pin back, let's just look for it" He said "Hmm..... I guess you're right, but if we don't find it today, you're buying me a new hair pin~" I said. "Alright, alright. Maybe" He smirked at me again, grrr..... He really is a big idiot!

After a half hour has already passed, there are still no sign that my hair pin is here in the sandbox. "I don't get it! Why isn't it here?" I said worriedly. "Maybe you didn't lose it here, we ran around the entire playground after all" He said as he was disappointed not to find there pin. "I guess I'll have to give you this" He said silently. "Heh? What did you say?" I directed my attention towards him. "Here" He said as he extended out his hands towards me to hand me a hair pin, but why is he not looking at me. "I was meaning to give you this, so take it...." Why is he acting so embarrassed, he looks so cute! And not to mention the hair pin is so cute!! "Arigatou (Thank you), Bestie! I will cherish this for the rest of my life!" I smiled happily at him.

We both heard a voice from afar saying "Hey, the two of you! Get back here! It's time to go home!" I yelled back "Hai! Oka~san (Yes Mom!)" The boy looked at me with a smile and then he said "Let's go back?" I looked at his messed up hair, his face still has a smudge of sand by his cheeks, and his T-shirt still has a stain, after playing tag. Then I said "Yes, let's go" I smiled back at him childishly. He sprinted ahead of me. He looked back at me, and then he said "I'll race you back there" The light of the Sunset passed across his cheeks, then I replied "Like I will you lose to you, baka~(Idiot)" I said calmly

"Another day at the park has passed, I saw the same boy, that I have seen last time I visited this park. We would always play at the park, we would always meet here at Kanryu Park, at the Playground section. We would chase each other, have great time together, even if we got hurt, we would still enjoy playing together and doing stuff together. And having fun each day of our lives. We meet at this park after our classes are finished. We made a pinky promise that we will never get separated, no matter what, and that we would always meet at the park"

The next day April 16, 2003, Kyoto, _______ Residence (4:00 pm)

"Mom! I'm going to the park to see my friend again, ok?" I said while I was waiting nearby the door. "OK! Take care, and always stay safe" She replied. "Ok, Mom! Itekimasu~ (I'm going)" I said as I dashed out of the house.

*Pant *Pant "Where is he?"I looked at my watch and saw that it was already 4:30!! "It's already 4:30??? I took that long to come here, nevermind, I know that he will be here waiting for me!" I smiled cheerfully! I walked around to look for him. "Oy!!! Kimi wa Doko?! (Where are you?)" I shouted out in the thin air of the playground as the Sun was about to set. I was still looking for him, hoping that he would never break our promise to each other; I keep wandering around the entire playground, hoping that he was still here. "Hmmmm....... maybe he's sick?" I'll just come back next time, or maybe he's just too busy......"

Weird. He didn't show up today, why didn't he show up today? Did I hurt him that much from yesterday? Hehehe, but I know that's not the reason. I looked desperately for that idiot. It's not like he's that important to me, but, we made a promise..... A promise that we would never break. Is he staying away from me? Is he alright? I wonder why he's not at the park today. I hope tomorrow I'll be able to see him again.

After a month

I came back to that park, every single day, again and again and again over the past month, hopelessly waiting for him to come back . But in the end, he never came back...................
