"Me.? I'm not a food soul." I replied, using a very hoarse voice. "You're a Food Soul, so what are you doing here?" "Thank you." Even after Bonito Rice got his cat back, he still didn't want to leave. I took the cat and placed it near the window. I didn't want to answer his questions. I just wanted him to leave. "Have you lived here all this time? How come everything is covered? Were you locked away?" Bonito Rice's questions seemed to go on and on.Īs I looked across this darkened room, it seems that I've forgotten what it once looked like. Meow." The cat moved closer to me as it grazed my body. "Ah, don't worry! I'm Bonito Rice, I'm not a bad person!" All of a sudden, I felt comforted. How did he find out? Without realizing it, I moved closer to the wall. "Can you help me bring him out?" After a long time, I finally realized that the boy was asking for me. The cat seemed to ignore the boy's call as it went about licking it's paw without a scent of worry or concern for the boy. It merely sat there without moving an inch. "There you are! I've been looking for you everywhere! Come out now!" The sound of the boy's voice became more vibrant as he finally found his cat. "Meow." All of a sudden, the cat responded as well. "Meow, Meow." The boy tried to mimic the cry of a cat. I didn't want him to know that there was anyone here. I hid myself in a dark corner to avoid being noticed. is anyone here?" A boy's voice came from outside. A small village once stood over there near the sea of Sakura trees. This place used to be where Master and I lived. Master's laughter was too loud for my voice to be heard. Hahaha!" Every time Master laughs, his whole body shakes with him. "That's okay! We need some summer breeze anyways.
"Master, the window in the room is broken. Wind will seep through." A sudden sweet but bitter feeling overcame me.Īh, that's right, I was the one who was locked away. "Meow- Meow-" Something warm grazed the side of my hands. It seems like my reactions have slowed down even the sensation of pain felt like it was delayed. I lost my balance and fell to the ground. No matter the situation, sakuras had the ability to bring a smile to his face.Īs I grabbed for the sakura petal, everything became pitch black. "Where did this beautiful sakura petal come from?" I stuck out my hand and reached for it. I squint through the darkness and my eyes begin to focus on a silver sakura petal falling gracefully in front of me. I turned around to see where this sound was coming from and I saw a familiar light pass through the darkness.Įven in this darkness, a speck of moonlight still shines. It must have been my imagination.īut then I heard the creaking sound of loosening boards.
Where is this sound coming from? Am I hearing things? Perhaps it is calling for me in this darkness. All I have now are the sweet but painful memories of Master Attendant. How great would it be if everything ended now.Īfter that day, I lost the ability to feel both of my legs. I begin to lose perception of what's real. My feet grows colder as the rain continues to fall. A chill sends shivers down the spine as the feeling of sorrow is brought to life. in the end, everyone dies around me."Īs the rain falls, the air grows colder. Why didn't you tell me?" The sound of my voice was as cold as the rain."You're the same.
I didn't want to believe that Master Attendant was gone forever. Perhaps it was the rain that caused his body to lose its warmth and feel ever so cold. I reached out to hold his hand, but all I felt was the cold stiff fingers of a corpse. I fell to the wet ground as I looked into Master's lifeless eyes. Master Attendant was murdered in the rain, but it wasn't a Fallen Angel who did it. Surrounded by darkness, the sound of rain reminds me of a past too painful to forget. Perhaps, this is the sound of death.Įach droplet ends its short life as it becomes one with the soil.
