How My Life Was Ruined 087: Feelings Reflected
Shizuku Aina was in her room, curled up under her blanket, with eyes wide awake. She had dark circles under her eyes as she hadn't been able to sleep soundly for the past few days.The words that Hamasaki had said on the rooftop were repeating inside her brain, incessantly, without giving her brain any time to rest.“I…Do I love him?”She asked that question to herself for the umpteenth time now.Ever since that encounter with Hamasaki that was the one question plaguing her day in and day out.She thought back to the very first day that the two of them met.In the snowy field, he had saved her from the thugs. If he hadn’t come to save her then god knows what would have happened to her. She was thankful to him but didn’t say so. It was because when she saw the eyes of her savior a feeling of dread assaulted her. The glint in the one eye she could see was far more dangerous that the thugs that had assaulted her. Her brain screamed at her not to involve herself with him. Thus, to distanc
How My Life Was Ruined 088: Strange
We were in the dining area having our last breakfast in this luxurious hotel.With me were Yamamoto and some other students from our class. Over the course of one week, I would say we have gotten close enough to be called acquaintances.“So my dream is to become a pilot.” Said Kei with dreamy eyes.We were currently talking about our future dreams. Hattori had said that he wanted to become an astronomer. We were going in turns and I knew the baton was going to be passed on to me soon after Yamamoto’s turn.“What about you, Kageyama?” Asked Kei. I was surprised. Wasn’t it supposed to be Yamamoto’s turn!? I screamed internally but the baton was now in my hands so I had to answer.I gave it some thought. Future dreams, eh? I haven’t thought of anything of sorts. I didn’t want to become a doctor nor a pilot or an engineer. I had no dreams and no ambitions. I didn’t need to, after all. But there was one thing that I want. Maybe that might count as a dream. Since I had nothing else to say,

“…Aina?”Spurred on by my words, she turned her head towards me.Upon seeing me, I caught that her eyes had widened ever so slightly.I walked towards my door.“What are you doing here?”“I was waiting for you.”Hmm? The way she is speaking is somewhat unusual. It is somewhat similar to the voice she had that night when she came knocking at my door saying that she wanted to learn more about me.“Why? You want to know more about me? About my past?”“Although that is a part of it, that’s not completely it.”So that was one of her goals but not all? That meant she had something else in store. I could only have an ominous premonition.“And what might that be?” I asked, a bit wary.She slowly closed her eyes.“Hmph!”Then her eyes shot open suddenly.She took a quick and heavy step toward me, grabbed me by my shoulders, and inched closer.What? Is she going to kiss me!?That was the first thought that crossed my mind but it turned out that I was wrong. Unfortunately, so.She brought her li

I was in my room.The windows were open. Outside, the rain had started getting heavier by the moment. Occasional winds hit the windows hard causing them to produce a creaking sound as they vibrated. Trinkets of rain made their way inside the room and made contact with my face after which they disappeared to nowhere. The rain that formed after so many efforts and processes for a long time disappeared so easily that it reminded me of a flame in a candle; extinguished with a single puff of breath. It reminded me of how fragile life can be and how easily and effortlessly a life can be ruined despite the painstaking efforts that led to that life.A mechanical ringing sound reached my ears and I turned around to face the small speaker-like device attached to the wall above the door. An announcement was about to be made.“To all the students, due to heavy rain and bad weather conditions, the roads have been blocked and declared unsafe for use. Thus, traveling back home is not possible under
How My Life Was Ruined 091: Memories - I
It was right after a small brawl that happened in the dead of night in a dark alleyway in the streets of Kyoto. I had beaten up five people, bare-handed, to unconsciousness. They were knocked out and some were even foaming. That is what happens when someone tries to touch my girl. I smiled victoriously.Just then, the sound of police cars approaching was heard.I immediately started running. Through the small roads and upon the roofs, I ran and climbed and jumped and climbed. I was having my own little parkour and the police were not even close to catching me.This had now become a routine for me. And I was quite used to giving the police a slip. I was confident that I will manage to get away this time for sure. Maybe it was due to the fact that I was overconfident or maybe it was because of the effect of overdosing, on one roof, I ended up tripping and fell face down on the hard concrete below.Luckily, I had managed to survive and I hadn’t sustained any major injuries to my head.La

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the very same room I had escaped from. There was a woman beside me, busy on her phone.When she noticed that I was awake, she looked at me with a, “Oh, you finally awake?” and put her phone on the small table beside the bed.“You feeling well?” She asked, peering at my face.Her brown hair brushed against my face leaving a beautiful scent behind. Her hair was long and lustrous and she had a pair of blue eyes, just like ocean water reflecting sunlight.“Who are you?” I asked as I pressed on my head. It still hurt a bit.“What? You don’t remember me?” She mischievously flashed all her teeth at me and said, “I am the one who knocked you out.”It took me some time to make sense of what she said but when I did, I screamed with all my might.“You violent woman!”I immediately woke up and distanced myself away from her, with my back against the wall.She gave me a pout. “That’s not a good way of putting it. Though that’s perfectly on point!” She gave

After that, I started growing closer to Kaya. I was really thankful to her for finding Hayami for me.The three of us started spending time together. So much so that the other children started giving us weird looks. But, it didn’t matter to us. I discarded it as just mere jealousy on their part that I was spending so much time with two beautiful women.I had long since forgotten that I had to get out of this facility. There was no need for that now. I was happy with things as they were.As I continued to spend time with her, I got to know that although Kaya was impulsive and got angry quickly, she had a mature side to her befitting her age.There were countless times when the two of us engaged ourselves in discussing philosophical and psychological topics. Her opinions on such subject matters were insightful and more than worthy to spend time pondering.There was one such time when we were discussing random stuff when I asked her. Well, rather than a question, it was just a small line

“How are you doing, Kaya?” Sitting on the bed, with her legs crossed she had her phone to her ears.“I am fit and fine as usual!” A cheerful voice rang from the other side of the phone. One that Maki hadn’t heard in quite a while and one that was familiar to her. It was her sister, Sasaki Kaya.“I see. That’s good to hear.” Maki said. Then, she heard the sounds of horns and other vehicles.“Kaya, are you on the road?”“Ah, yes. I am currently driving.”“Driving? You know you shouldn’t drive when you are on the phone, right?” Maki tried to voice her concern.“You don’t need to worry, nee-chan! I will be fine.”“Well, not that you will listen to me. Though, still, be careful!”“Aye, aye, captain!”Maki sighed then a thin smile played over her lips. This was very like her sister. Doing whatever she pleased in whatever way pleased her – she has been this way ever since childhood. It was one of her charms and one of the reasons so many people loved and admired her.“By the way, where are y
