If I could journey back 5 years ago, the bleakest time of my life. My elder sisters, pass away in 2 very different manners. Yukiko lost the battle with breast cancer, Ayumi was robbed, raped and murdered in America where she was studying. This happened in the span of a month. My state of mind? Unstable to the least, crying my eyes out, wishing they'd come back, wishing I was the one in their place, I was the bad bad sister why why would kamisama take them away.
My parents were trying to be strong, dad especially. He was the only sane one in the house, going on to work as usual, acting in his own humourous manner, a little off but it was something we need, he knew it, though there were bags around his eyes.
Mother a strong, traditional Japanese woman dealt with this in the way she knows how, buries herself deeper into her chores…our house was spotless, everything shone…
In the morning though, there's the smell of tobacco in the verandah and two packets of cigarettes in the trash, dad has asthma so he doesn't smoke. We were all self destructing.
As for me I ran. I ran and ran and ran, I am a runner in high school, just last year, in my second year of high school, third place in the Kanagawa prefecture race, a bronze medal around my neck, a smile on my face, Ayumi back on holidays…telling me amazing things about America and to join her there…
After my entrance exams next year I would also apply to America, it was tough to get into a university here, but America… Ayumi said, the entrance exam is not that tough but once you're in you better study your arse off.
I was open to a fresh start, though all I want to do is run…but for how long? Yukiko, ten years my senior was supposed to take over father's business, when she was diagnosed, she vowed to get well but I saw her, little by little, she was slipping, it was terrible, the treatment for her cancer worked but it spread, in her last days she was blind, deaf and delusional, screaming about her pain. In those times I ran, only mother was by her side.
Ayumi was in the midst of examinations during Yukiko's funeral, although mother insisted she come back, father did not and barely two weeks later, we were having Ayumi's funeral. It was a high profile case, the American police worked hard to catch the murderer and now he is found guilty and is now in prison never to come out again.
This year…my last year in high school, I was the only child left in the family. I felt the burden and responsibility. How just only a few months, I decided to grow up. Father needed an heir for his business, mother needed her daughter to be healthy and good, me, I needed to be my sisters. Yukiko was hardworking, smart, responsible and strong. Ayumi was a gentle, caring, simple and articulate soul. Yuka…the tomboy, love running, dislikes studying has to change…has to change.
Everything I am I will give, I will sacrifice everything but one…running, running is the only thing that is Yuka, the only thing that is me. And on Saturday, I ran further, trying to regain Yuka after a week of being all three Yukiko, Ayumi and Yuka. I was sweating like a pig, I was in unfamiliar territory, though my lungs and legs are already screaming, I ran. And in that instant a terrible pain, my head thwacked on the ground, hard, pain, blood.
My right elbow stung as I fell on my side, my left thigh up to my ribs stung as something ram into me…a car? A motorcycle…but there was no engine sound…
My first thought, yes I'm going to see my sisters again, thank Kamisama.
Then I heard a voice, "Ayumi…Yukiko?" I whispered.
"Do'aho…"a monotone.
Male…it's a male voice…Ayumi…Yukiko…
"Yumi…Yuki…."
Then a shout and scream…
"Kitsune! You did it again!"
I smelt ramen…oooohhhh ramen in heaven, Yumi loved ramen…so did Yuki…so do I…
I opened my eyes saw…a red haired devil and a pale black angel…
I am going to hell…
I screamed.
a/n: Hope you enjoyed it…open for reviews and I'll update soon…thanks…
