Chapter Forty-Nine: Well Again:
Kyosuke's family is doing much better now. They are still on the
mend, but things will get better.
-Mamoru-
He has to work to earn back the Michiko's trust. Mamoru got a
second job. It will take months, but he doesn't mind. Tsubaki broke
up with her boyfriend. She's going to try to be alone for a
while.
“It's for the best,” Tsubaki said.
“Agreed,” Mamoru said. “What will you do
now?” She looked over at him.
“Finish school,” she said. “After that, I don't
know.” She walked up to the library on their campus.
“Hey, Tsubaki,” Mamoru spoke up. His friend paused and
turned her head.
“Hm?” she asked. He rubbed the back of his head as he
shuffled his feet.
“Can… We play tennis later today?” he asked.
Tsubaki smiled.
“Sure,” she said.
“Thanks,” he said, bowing. Mamoru followed Tsubaki into
the library.
-Kimi-
It's over. Kimi and Eishi broke up. She doesn't feel bad either.
His wife needed him. Kimi and Mayumi talked about the teacher.
Kimi sat on the bench, tapping her floor. The playing children
didn't make it easier. She ran different scenarios of how this
would play out. Would Mayumi attack her? Would there be a fight?
Who would win?
Kimi shook her head. Calm down! It's just a talk. Nothing bad
should happen, right? So why was she shaking?
“Kimi-chan?” a woman asked. The girl jerked her head
upwards. Mayumi stood inches away.
“Hello,” she said, bowing.
“Uh… hi…” Kimi said. She stared at the
frail woman. Any words she had in her head vanished.
“May I?” the woman asked.
“Um… sure, I guess,” Kimi said.
“Thank you,” Mayumi said. She bowed and sat down on the
bench. Kimi held her breath. The sick woman bowed her head.
“Please, take my husband,” she said. Kimi blinked.
“Huh?” she asked. Mayumi grabbed her by the hands.
“I won't have long anyway,” she said. “I have
cancer.”
“What?!”
The woman lowered her head. “I've talked to Eishi-kun. I told
him that he can see anyone after I die. He seems to have chosen
you. I wish you both well.” Kimi drew back her hands and
nervously laughed.
“I'm sorry,” she said. “I just can't.”
“What?” Mayumi asked. Kimi took a deep breath.
“Sensei is a great guy,” she said. “But, he's not
my type. You can have him. I'm done with him.” Mayumi tried
to speak, but Kimi stood up.
“It was nice to meet you,” Kimi said. “Just wish
it could be better times. Can I say something else?”
“What?” Mayumi asked. The girl flashed a V-sign at
her.
“I'm glad you and I spoke,” she said. “In a way,
I wanted you to stop us.”
“Huh?” the sick woman asked. The girl smiled and walked
away.
Today, she saw Eishi and Mayumi town together. They looked so
happy. Kimi only smiled and waved when they saw her before walking
away.
-Michiko-
She now has a new relationship. Her lover turned out to be a rival
shop owner. He treated her like a princess. Michiko felt
comfortable with being herself around her new boyfriend. Mamoru and
Kimi wrinkled their noses around him.
“Why him?” they had to ask. Michiko turned to them
smiling.
“He's really cute. And so good to me,” she said. The
younger siblings rolled their eyes and groaned. Michiko smiled. At
least she was happy.
-Sosuke-
“Happy now?” Sosuke asked his brother.
“Just about,” Kyosuke said.
“Huh?” the older brother asked with an eyebrow
raised.
“You have to tell them the truth,” the shinigami
said.
“But…” he said.
“Do it!” Kyosuke said. “Or I'll haunt you!”
He tried to look all mean and serious. Sosuke tried not to
laugh.
“What?” Kyosuke asked. Sosuke patted him on the
head.
“You still look too funny when you try to look angry,”
he said. “Fine, you convinced me.” Kyosuke stared at
him with big eyes.
“Seriously?” he asked.
“Yes,” his older brother said. “Be right
back.” He disappeared before Kyosuke's eyes. The last weight
from the shinigami's shoulders vanished. Now what do I
do?
