The Story So Far ...
Chapter.1
A cold day, cloudy air, it's hard to breath and the sun is no where to be seen. She stud in the middle of the road to.fix her headphones and shift to the next song , the sound was too loud covering the noses in the street . She didn't know that, this cold morning will take her life into a very distance level, far away from she could have ever imagined. Behind her, a construction site busy and every worker is focusing on his work But in the serve of the moment an iron blocks were wavering until they find there way down to the ground . She saw a shadow widening under her feet and when she looked up it was too late.
The Pain was severe, she felt a strong throb of heart in every corner of her body. The unbearable feeling kept rising, unable to stand she bent over and squeezed on her left hand to stop it but , it was not even worth the try, she spouted a few blood on the ground while listening to the voices calling " Hey , are you OK ? " but they were far away and suddenly vanished .
She fainted but, she could still feel the warm big hands hugging her, floating and it was the last sensation she felt.

Little by little she began to feel the breeze,
" its heavy", she thought
She felt something heavy and when she opened her eyes there it was, the most cutest kid with big, dark blue just like the ocean, wide eyes on top of her chest, as soon as her eyes meet his he ran away outside the room
Shouting: " she's awake, she's awake ".

Shouting: " she's awake, she's awake ".
Surprisingly looking to those eyes
she thought " I've seen those eyes before but where ?? " ,
non-paying no more attention to it she sit up and tried to remember what had happened but her head started to itch so she stopped thinking and looked around, all she could see was the perfect traditional Japanese room with every single details ,the kimono she was wearing, the futons , the calming sound and she could even see the fish lake from the door that lead to the garden. she smiled for a bit, remembered the pain in her hand and quickly touched it to make sure it was real.

Slowly, she could hear the footsteps coming closer and then she listen to that gentle sweet voice
saying: " thank God, you're awake ".
She left her head and there was the shock. A feeling she thought she had already forgotten about it , but at that moment it appears that she didn't .
Chapter.2
" Are you OK. How do you feel " he said.
She back out for a minute But she realize he's not the person she though he is then
replied: " I'm good, thanks. Amm, can you tell me what happened??! ".
He looked at her with an eyes full of regret then he quickly bowed on the ground and
Said: " I'm sorry, it's my responsibility that the iron blocks at my site felt over you, the workers should have being more careful " .
She looked at him with surprise then she remembered
" it doesn't matter, as long as I'm alive. " she said that with a gentle smile on her face.
He felt a little bit relief " this is my house, please feel free to use it as your own until you recover. My name is Kyria Yuuji , and you are ??"
" kaoru Akira, Thank you for your kindness, and sorry for troubling you"
They both felt good and talked a little about how Yuuji was frightened when he saw Akira falling down it was a bad sight, they laughed and then she saw a little shadow behind Yuuji
" ah sorry, this is my son hikaru, say Hi " Yuuji pointed
Hikaru was a 3 years old little shy kid so, he just nodded his head and snuggled into his dad's shirt.
For a moment Akira though they looked the same having the same relaxing eye color and the black hair.
That night was out of Akira's rotten, she's always alone so having dinner with yuuji, little hikaru and the old house keeper Ami felt kinda awkward But in the same time
she though " this is nice, I think ".
At 12 midnight the house rest in peace.

Extra.2.5
The clock ticking a second after second and for some reason Akira's eyes are wide open, she was tired or maybe that what she thought.
Quickly flipping the bed sheets with irritation and a face says " I want to sleep Damn it ".
poor thing, with Messy hair she walked out of her room straight to the kitchen for some milk, it always made her calm down and that what she got. After a warm cup, reaching for the lights, closed it, a big build appeared. It was dark she couldn't see a thing, just like that night she backed out few steps slowly.
started mumbling in low voice " stay back, don't come closer ".
with blank eyes full of fear, sliding until she reached the fridge, only then she started to scream and a big box from above started falling.
Like she has a thing for dead.
Fast and reachable hand grabbed her arm pulling her close to him. She was struggling to escape unaware of what's really was going on , like being in another world, Apparently it wasn't a pleasant one.
Twisting her way out a loud warm voice raising " Akira, stop it, it's me Yuuji, calm down ".
She wouldn't listen, all he could do was to grab her even tighter to his body whispering into her ears " it's OK, calm down, don't be afraid ".
Akira started to respond, she's frozen now hugging him with realizing it, her eyes were teary, it's seems typical for a 21 years old girl and the 32 years divorced man saw through it.
They sat together at kitchen floor, her between his arm, unconscious. Yuuji wouldn't move as if he enjoyed the warmth they radiated, leaning straight on the fridge brushing her hair away from eyes and forehead.
An hour passed, Yuuji carried akira upstairs to her room, when the reached the bed she's awakened.
Yuuji said " I'm relieved, it looks like you've calmed down ".
Akira " I... I'm.. I'm really sorry about what happened just now, if you could forget it that would be great "
Yuuji " it's OK I kinda figured what happened based on your reaction" he said while setting on the bed.
Akira " I don't know what you're referring to " looking away trying to avoid his eyes.
Yuuji " I'm sorry to say it but, you were harassed by someone, is that right ? ".
Akira’s body shivered " that's.. "
" it's OK now, it's must have been hard on you " yuuji said that patting Akira’s head.
She wouldn't know what to say, she have always been afraid to be this close from another man, but this particular one was warm and big like a sun light, akira just wanted to throw herself into his arms and hug his but that's definitely wasn't her place to do such thing, she could only sit there crying her heart out and blabbering the truth behind what happened.
Akira told yuuji everything, how she was molested by her stepfather while her mother didn't seemed aware of it and that she wouldn't believed her when she told her.
She took it as if akira was trying to steal her man so, she kicked her out of the house . Not like she carried much, Akira felt it was freedom for her but the shadows kept hunting her.
Yuuji listened to the end, pulling the same face, the one that shows pain, he thought that he understood every word she was saying.
The Feelings of Pain he felt when he found his wife with another man and running to her death without even explaining anything.
There worlds were far apart but they share the red thread of misery.
After they both calmed down Akira said with puffy eyes and red nose " Thanks for tonight, I didn't think that I would open up for a stranger, but i think that everything is going to be OK from now on ".
Yuuji smiled walking to the door wishing her good night then he turned back to her reaching for her head " you can consider me more than a stranger to you " placing his lips on her cheeks, he kissed her and walked his way out.
Akira’s eyes could go dry from how big they were open with surprise and her mind only went screaming " what was that, must be thembasy from an older wise man that's all, huh... Huh...... like the one between friends, yah....that's right... nothing more " she pulled the blanket and fainted from the shock.
As for Yuuji he stood by the door for quite some time his hand covering his mouth thinking " what the hell I just did.... Her... Her cheek was... Soft " his heart bounded hard, touching his lips, he never felt that way even with his wife, he laughed saying " I must be hallucinating from exhibition.... Yah.. That's it " walked straight to his room and called it a night.
This night was where the sparks started to shine.
The next morning they opened up their eyes with major headaches strong enough for them not to remember what happened at those last moments.
Will they ever do.
The week passed quickly , every day was the same for these two , waking up after Yuuji was gone , having breakfast and playing the piano all afternoon , then they enjoyed lunch listing to Akira’s music , goofing around, they became really close to the point that they shared the guest room to sleep together , soundly holding hands.
“ Haruka is very happy with you being around” said the old Ami while serving tea to Akira ,
“ He’s a great kid “
“ Yes he is , and his father is great man too , he do his best for Haruka so he would have a secure future “ Ami replied .
Akira dozed for a second and when she wanted to say something Yuuji opened the door.
“ Welcome home sir “ Ami grated him
“ Welcome “ Akira also ,
“ Thank you both “
He rushed beside Haruka who was sleeping in the room, kissed him and brushed his hair softly with eyes saying I’m sorry all over them.
Chapter.3
The birds calling in joy, the breeze is playing with the trees and the sun is up in the sky watching over them saying it's morning.
Akira opened her eyes slowly, snuggled in the warm futon not wanting to wake up, she looked at the sun rays coming inside throw the door, she left her hand up and put it in front Of her letting the sun shine in her hand.
" I haven't slept in peace like that in a while, it's comfy " she thought.
" I haven't slept in peace like that in a while, it's comfy " she thought.
When she began to remember a dark feeling, little Hikaru saved her by opinion the door wide saying " good morning ".
He stood there, the sun shining behind him with a wide smile on his face, wearing a white T-shirt , He looked like an angel , she smiled and greet him morning back. He ran to her side , pulled the foton away and grabbed her hand tightly.

saying “ Akira , hurry up i wanna eat together hurry “,
“ ok ok I'm getting up , just let me wash my face “ she said laughing.
when they reach the dining room Yuuji was already gone for work then she looked at Haruka knowing that he’s feeling sad , seemed about to cry but he didn't.
He just walked to his seat quietly and left his head to Akira “ let’s eat “ .

Akira felt kinda bad but she thought that it’s not her place to middle in, she just a freeloader until her wounds heal . in the afternoon every servant in the house including old Ami were busy with their work , it felt too boring even for Akira , she took her headphones and went outside to enjoy the weather in the garden , there were Haruka sitting alone with a piano keyboard in his little hands, staring at the sky.
Akira approached him saying “ What’s that you're holding ? a piano ? I never played with it before , can you teach me , Mistro ? ” .
Haruka felt relieved for a moment but he turned around shyly mumbling with low voice “ I’m not that good “.
Akira heard what he said but she repeated many times “ What ?? , I can’t hear you “.
Haruka got mad and shouted loudly throwing the piano away “ I’M NOT THAT GOOD , I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY , OK , ARE YOU HAPPY ? “.
Akira looked at him with a composed look knowing that he'll react this way, she looked at him standing there with red eyes full of tear but none of them feel down , grabbing his shirt tightly afraid because he know he’s not supposed to shout at older people. while seeing that she remembered herself in the same position in a dark background surrounded by many people with no clear faces , for a moment she shut her eyes in fear then opened them quickly.
she left the piano from the ground , kneeled down to Haruka and said smiling “ Then let’s learn together “.
Haruka couldn't take it anymore so he started crying his eyes out throwing himself into her lap and grabbing tightly around her neck. she didn't know what to do but she thought that patting his head would be good.

Akira backed what she was about to say and turned to Yuuji saying “ I think it’s time for me to leave “.
Yuuji and Ami just stared with troubled eyes.
Running to his father's lap trying to hold his tears. Akira closed her eyes with an apologetic way and left the room.

The silence filled the room for seconds then old Ami stood up and left, she thought they could use some privacy. Yuuji looked to Akita
" Why?! " he said,
she glanced at him and said " I need to get back to my life, I have been here for too long, there's my job and my room rent to think about, and my wounds are almost healed completely. I troubled you and the.... ",
" you're not trouble at all " he interpreted her shouting with wide eyes looking to each other.
Fistting there balms. Only then Haruka opened his eyes mumbling " don't leave, please, I'll be god"

Next early morning, her things all backed up and ready to go, she went to haruka's room but he won't open the door she said she's sorry and headed back to the house gate.
Yuuji was about to leave for work so he offered her a drive, in the car he gave her a card with his contact info in it so whenever she needs something she can contact him immediately and didn't say a word after that.
They dropped Akira to the station, while jack the driver took out her bags from the car she tried to apologize once more " I'm really sorry. I'll try to visit him soon, I promise. "
Yuuji didn't seem angry more than upset and broken
" I wish you could stay for all of us, but i know it's too much to ask from you " he sighted
" good luck on your job, Akira ".
He stared at her with eyes full of sadness, close the window and drove off. Akira’s heart started to beat so hard, she didn't know if it's guilt, regret or maybe.... She stopped thinking for a second and stood there with a mind full of surprises.

Meanwhile in the car, Yuuji kept silence until Jack said " sir, are you OK? ".
Yuuji replied " I'll be, soon enough "
Yuuji replied " I'll be, soon enough "
They say you don't realize what you have until you have lost it, and when it's love it hits you hard to the ground...
will this be the case for these two.
