Tears from the Sky
By Red Blaze
 
 
Chapter 1
 
Kneeling in front of the granite marker, Hoshi lays the roses on the grave. The sun had only risen a couple of hours ago and though he had left the apartment he shares with his father without saying a word about where he was going, his father would know where he was.
 
Staring at the name, Hoshi remembers little of the woman that lies beneath the ground. Kay Hashiba had died when Hoshi was only five years old. Hoshi remembers his father coming to him in the middle of the night to tell him his mother had died in a car accident. Today was the twelfth anniversary of that day. Twelve years ago, Hoshi's mother had passed from the world.
 
“Hi mom,” says Hoshi, staring down at the marker. “It's been a while.”
 
Placing a hand on the marker, Hoshi feels closer to the woman who had birthed him.
 
“The school year is starting soon. Dad and the others are talking about keeping us kids at home. Ryo even mentioned that Mia could teach us,” says Hoshi, patting the marker before removing his hand. “There were some problems this summer. I don't know if dad ever spoke to you of his past, but he had been some kind of warrior back when he was around my age. He even saved the world.”
 
For a moment, Hoshi says nothing. Glancing up at the sun, he realizes that it's time for him to get back home. His father had mentioned that he wanted to head out to the Mouri house early today. The debate about home schooling would be brought up again once they got there.
 
Rising to his feet, Hoshi lays his hand once more on his mother's grave. Leaning down, he kissing the top of the cold stone before straightening.
 
“I love you, mom,” says Hoshi, stepping away from the grave. “I'll come back soon.”
 
Walking away from the marker, Hoshi leaves the grave behind as he heads home.
