Shiawase no Hibi(?!)

"Please do me." That is what she said. She slowly unbuttoned her clothes in front of me, not a touch of smile on her face. Just… emptiness. Mayumi. Her smooth, white skin. Her silky, dark hair. Her pretty face and her body, all, for me. Is… is this true…? Is this even right…

Her face draws near to mine. My heart beats louder. She slowly closed her eyes, as if waiting for a kiss. A kiss. I need to kiss her. Kiss her. Kiss. Kiss her. But. If I kiss her, will it be alright? Is it alright to do all of this? Are you sure..? I do not understand. An hour ago. Where was I an hour ago…?
*****************************

"Ah, crap!" Darn, rain is starting to fall. I just bought my dinner, as unfortunately my parents are out for the night. And just when it’s getting dark, dang. The rain just had to pour down, and I needed to rush back. I dashed towards my house, ah, the rain is really getting stronger.

Finally, stopping infront of our gate, I put my hands into my pocket and… Wait. Ma…Mayu! Mayumi, my classmate at school, what is she doing there, standing all wet infront of our gate? I quickly run up to her.

"Mayu? Hey, you’re gonna get a cold if you keep on staying here. Come, let’s go inside." I quickly open the gate, and pull her in. We find ourselves soaked from the rain, as I asked her to stay put as I get a towel for the both of us.

Wait. Mayumi? Mayu-chan..? Didn’t she… Yes. Definitely. For the last two days, she was missing, along with another classmate of mine, Miu. They were last seen together. But, why is she here now? I thought she was missing… Perhaps… she needs help. Probably. I should try to lighten her up and ask what’s wrong.

I gave Mayu the time to dry up with the towel. But before I could say anything, she quickly asked, showing a little smile. "Yuura-kun, hmm… Where’s your room?"

"A..ah? Mayu?"

"Umm… I just wanted to see Yuura-kun’s room, that’s all. But if you don’t want then…" She replied, gazing down and apparently looking sad. Awww, geez. Fine…

"Alright, if you insist so. Follow me then." I start to walk towards my room, while Mayu slowly follows behind me.

"H..here. Contented now?"

"Yuura-kun’s room sure is messy."

"W..well ofcourse… I wasn’t actually expecting someone to visit me, especially my room. M..mayu-chan? Would it be alright if I asked something about the recent days..?"

"Yuura-kun, no need to ask." She replied, with a sad look on her face.

"How should I explain this…" She began to sat on my bed.

"Well, you see… I have been… hiding."

"Mayu? Why would you hide?"

"L..let’s just say I needed to hide something… Something that I could only talk about to people I could trust…"

"M..mayu, do you mean..?"

"Yes. A…actually, I believe that I could only run to you, Yuura-kun. I… umm… This will feel strange, but I want you to know, that I’ve always… liked you, Yuura." She says this while looking back, obviously not wanting me to see her blushing face.

"A..ah…" I reply as my face flushed in a red color, as I try to look away from Mayu.

"M..mayu… I.."

"Y…yuura-kun. No need to expand longer on that… subject." Mayu finds some time to reform herself.

"You see, I was hiding in the abandoned shed near the Marade Cliff."

"Marade Cliff? Why would you hide anyway, Mayu?" Marade Cliff. The cliff was supposed to be owned by a family called the Marade. A high cliff, with a Shed near at it’s peak. Below? The rapid waves of the sea. It was said that the shed was… used for tool keeping. But as the time went, numerous accidents started to happen there, some people just started to walk to the end of the cliff and commit suicide, and the said family started to abandon the place. As of the current, there appears to be no one from the Marade Family to even have a relation to them. They just all… disappeared strangely.

"… Yuura… W..would I be… able to trust you…?" Mayu said, as she lowered her face, and her voice started to stutter.

"M..mayu!" I grab her into my arms. Definitely. She is in trouble. She hid there the last two days, not even changing her clothes. What did she ate? What did she drank? There must have something big happened. I just cannot leave her alone at this state, especially now as she needs me the most.

"A..ah…"

I slowly released my arms around her.

"Yuura-kun." She said in a low tone.

"Mayu…?"

"Please do me."
****************************************

T…this isn’t happening, right? What is she thinking?! But… her body. Her unbuttoned clothes, her exposed chest. I… I cannot hold on. A kiss. She must have missed warmth. The warmth of others. Secluded for two days. S…she needs me.

I kissed her, as she expects it. Ah… Her smooth, soft lips. Mmmm… She touched my hand, and brought it to her breasts. A..ah…
****************************************

A…ah…. I slowly sat up. My body hurts. Looking around, it’s… still night time. Or around early in the morning, I suppose. A…ah… I recall last night. About Mayu. I… I… Mayu? Mayu!? Where is she?

I started to look around. I threw the blankets around. No, she wasn’t there. I looked on the bathroom. No, not there. Downstairs? No. Mayu? Where are you?! As I got back to my room, I notice a small paper on top of my desk.

"Y..yuura-kun." My name is scribbled a bit.

"Yuura-kun. I… I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. Please forgive me. I did not planned to use you. Please forgive me. I… I shall never approach you again. I only used you. Sorry. I’m truly sorry…"

Her name wasn’t even written there. But definitely. Definitely. It was definitely Mayu. … Mayu. Where could…. Ah. Marade Cliff. She said she was hiding there. I… feel strange. I need to go find her now. I get up and quickly changed my… ah… M..mayu left her socks… My face flushed red. N..no more time to think of that… I rush out. I ran as fast as I could. Marade Cliff.

No. She isn’t here. Inside the shed…? I opened the shed. As the shed is already abandoned, it seems to be recently used. Mayu must have used the shed. Definitely. I went in. Everything looks so… clean. Mayu. She cleaned this. Out of nothing to do. Mayu. Where are you…?

And near the bed was a desk. On top of the desk… a… book?

"My Diary~! =P" Mayu. Mayu’s handwriting. It’s definitely hers. I have to look inside. Only now. I need to know what happened. I… Mayu needs me. I… shouldn’t have done last night…. Darn.

I scan through the pages. I find… the last three days ago.

"Meh… Miu once again brags over about her new gadget. Alright already, darn it…"

Miu… Yeah, she was with Mayu when they both disappeared. I flip through the next page… The past two days ago.

"Miu. Miu. She made me do it. She brought a knife. She tempted me to do it. Definitely. I really hate her. But she won this time. She left to destroy my remaining life. I…"

"Calm down… O..okay. Whenever I stop writing here. It would mean I’d already been caught. I… killed Miu. I’ve hated her. She talks too much. She says too much. And most of all, she sticks to me too much. When I just had the courage to say all about it, she brings out a knife. How could have she brought one here… She wildly swings the knife. I’ve ducked in reflex. And brought the knife into her chest. I..it was not on purpose. I… but I really killed her now. She left me disturbing words. That she would haunt me forever. Her death will follow me forever."

"She was… right. Sh…she was always like that… Saying whatever she wanted to say. She never cared if it was rude, if she wants to say it, she’ll just say it. And her words left a mark at me now. It’s true. I doubt everyone will believe I did not kill her. C..currently, I’m at the Marade Shed. I… I threw her body down the cliff. There was no other choice. Else, I would get caught. But… since she always sticks to me, then I would be a primary suspect as to the reason why she’s missing. I.. have to hide."

I turn over to the next page…

"I… dream. It was too much… I… need help. But to who should I run to… Yuura-kun…. Ah… W..will he be okay with me like this…? Yuura. N..no… This isn’t the time to think about him… Although, I really want him to help me the most… But for now, I guess, I’ll have to survive first… I… I’m going out to steal food…"

Yesterday. Early in the afternoon.

"I… Yuura-kun. I definitely need him. I really could trust him. He… He’ll help me… I’m sure of it. I..I’m going to his house later and wait for him…"

"Miu… I realized it only now. Why only now? She… really did said anything she wanted. Despite of that, she still helps me out a lot. She… always protected me. I… I’m sorry Miu. If cared for someone, I’m sorry if it was me… I… I’m sorry Miu…!"

Last written paragraph.

"No… Miu. I killed her. I did not control. I stabbed the knife in her. B..but… Yuura-kun…. I… I provoked him… I… did not control myself. I only used him… No… I… This… This is too much… I’m not worthy to live anymore…! I just use people… I even killed Miu… At the cliff. I will be shortly joining you… Miu."

"…Goodbye. To anyone who finds this. I… this… I’m sorry for the burden. It’s your decision what to do with it."

"But what I want. At least give this to my family. And finally… Apologize to Yuura-kun for me."

I looked below, at the end of the page. Small words are written there.

"Yuura-kun. I really liked you a lot. So please forgive me."

I… I’m speechless. I cannot say anything. All of this. I… Wait. Mayu. I have to go to the Cliff… She might still be there..!

I run of with haste, with all my might and strength. Mayu. I have to see her. No, it’s not your fault Mayu… Please, do not let me be late…

I arrive. Just in time. A split second late would result into a fatal change. I saw her there. Standing. At the edge of the cliff. I call out her name. I quickly run towards her and hug her from behind.

"Y…yuura..kun…" She replied with surprise, yet full of sadness.

"Mayu! No! Do not do this…! Mayu, you have done nothing wrong..!"

"Yuura-kun… Sorry." Mayu replied, eager to move. No, don’t tell me she’s…

"…Mayu, if you’re going to jump, I will jump with you."

Mayu suddenly stopped her movements. "Yuura-kun… Thanks… Sorry…" Mayu stepped forward. Even my force wasn’t enough to hold her back.

Flash. A bright flash of light. As I notice it, I’m holding my left hand, with all my might onto the edge of the cliff. Barely reaching it. Below me, grabbing my right hand. Mayu. Mayu. I was never a good at athletics… I do not know what would happen any longer. My arms are starting to feel pain.

"Yuura-kun… P…please! Save yourself and leave me…"

"M…mayu… Sorry, but I can..not do that… I don’t even have the power to pull even myself only back." I show a smile. An optimistic smile to her. Death is inevitable. But atleast, I could show her a smile. Something she have not even felt for the last few days.

"Yuura… … Thank you…"

*************************************

Ah… What is this… Bright, sunlight. Hovering above me, together with the sky and the clouds. So… this is heaven, huh? Mayu… She’ll be here. Definitely.

I slowly sat up. No. This is… Marade Cliff. I was… lying on the ground..? And beside me is… Mayu. Ah… Whatever… Whatever had happened. All of it. It’s a dream now. All of it has passed. Mayu. She’ll wake up soon.

*************************************

"Mayu? Are you awake?"

Mayu deeply blushes. "Yuura…kun…?"

"Yes."

"Y…yuura-kun!" Mayu quickly sat up, and pressed me down, hugging me tightly.

"Yuura-kun, I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! Please forgive me! Yuura-kun…"

"M..mayu… You’re holding… me too…. tight…!"

"A..ah… Sorry Yuura-kun." Mayu lightly releases her hold, but still on top of me.

"Mayu." By reflex. By action. I do not know. I just… felt like it. I kissed her to her lips. I… there was nothing to be said. That would easily say what I want to say to her. No problem. No problem indeed, Mayu.

"Ah…" Mayu got off me as I finished. She turned around, blushing furiously. Even I, still cannot understand what I just did.

"Mayu, I…"

Mayu turned around with a smile. "Yuura-kun, thanks!"

Life. Life continued on forward. Mayu confessed her wrong doings. I helped her to her trials. Whatever happened there, whatever happened on that day, the details are no longer needed. For what the result is, is always better to know than what has happened.

Mayumi. She still cannot forget about Miu. On how she was actually a good friend. We honored her and placed a whatever on near the cliff where her body was missing. Good friend. That was Miu. For whatever she wanted to tell or do, she would do it. And up till the end. Mayu always tells me, on how I loss the grip on the cliff that day. And how Mayu saw a bright light, blinding through the area. And as the light faded away, Miu was there, smiling, omitting the words, "Sorry. Please live on."

Mayu. I could understand her. She acted as everyone would’ve acted. It’s not necessarily her fault. It’s human instinct. Most people would do the same. Even I lacked the control when she went into my room that day. Miu. Her mistake is simply being her. If she could’ve atleast controlled her actions, then everyone would be here right now.

Actions. Everyone acts. And for every action, there will be something as a result. Immediate actions, reflex. Control. Everyone needs to control themselves. Overtime. Slowly, we need to gain control. And as for us, unlucky as we learned to control the hard way. It was indeed an experience. Control. Slowly. Learn to control it. Do not act with haste.

Miu. She’s dead. No doubt about that, but till the end, she was a friend to Mayu. Perhaps lacking on control on her actions, she still desired to be a friend to Mayu. Mayu. Who acted on her reflexes. Doing something not wanted and immediate. She lacked to control her actions in instant times. Me. I lacked control. Despite knowing there was something behind Mayu, I still went to do as she, and my body pleased.

Upto now, we sweared. To control ourselves. To live for Miu. Indeed, we have started to love each other. She liked me already for a long time ago. I only begun to do so now. But, upto now, we still have not seen each other. We sweared that we will meet again.

Till the right time comes, I shall endure to control. Mayumi. Until that day, I will work hard. As I know our work will come off as we are united together again.
