After I moved away for a week I started to think of Kentaro and our promise. I started at the new school and started a kendo club. It wasn’t easy to find people to join but I did. I trained hard with my team members to meet with Kentaro. I dreamed of him every night “Will you really be at the nationals would we meet again?” “Yea I promise you Subaru I’ll aim to the national” I practice hard everyday until the tournament came in a few days.
On the first day of the tournament I won straight and always aim for the national level our team was always on the verge of losing because of my team mates but we always won. It was the nationals at last I though of it for long. When would I get to meet you again Kentaro will you really be able to reach national level?
On the first day of the tournament I didn’t see you there I had a feeling you were there we just didn’t meet. I went to the hotel and lie on the bed then slept. “Subaru would you give me a answer when we meet in the national’s” “Yes I will Kentaro” The next day I went to the tournament hall to practice early. I heard foot steps walking closer to me. I took off my helmet and look at who it was. I was surprised it was Kentaro. He hugged me and cried out in tears. I was so happy to meet him tears start flowing out of my eyes too and I hugged him back.
We talked about our life together again. “How was your new school Subaru?” he asked “It was ok but it was hard to setup the kendo club and we worked hard to come here I wanted to meet you Kentaro” Then the tournament started I won all my matches so did he. Then at the end of the tournament that day he ran to me and invited me to the amusement park. We went on rides together then had dinner together. It was the best day in my life.
At dawn Kentaro invited me to go on the Ferris wheel with him I was really happy about that. He started to talk “Subaru at first I saw you in that kendo uniform I though I would try kendo you invited me practice with me and I every day this feeling started to grow bigger. I really love you Subaru.” I was really stunned about what he said. I didn’t know what to do I was quiet about it. I wanted to shout out also “I love you too” but no words came out so I though of an excuse to say to him “After…. the tournament ends I’ll give you an answer.” Then after that the ride ended we went home in different directions.
The next day I went to the tournament hall early again to meet Kentaro to tell him how I felt and what happened yesterday that I was in a shock but I love you too. Then after that the tournament started I didn’t see Kentaro there at all. Then I heard from a person from his school. “I heard Kentaro is in the hospital right now taking a surgery and the success rate is near zero and there was writing near his body.” “My god what did he write a near death situation like that I bet her wrote help me or something.” “No what they found was a writing of I love you” I was in tears after I heard what the two boys were talking.
I ran to the hospital and saw Kentaro’s mother in tears. Kentaro has passed away she cried and said it over and over again It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault. I ran down the hall way trying to forget what his mother is saying I cried while not wanting to accept the truth. Now I can’t say what I wanted to say to him. I shouted out loud in the hospital I love you too Kentaro please come back. Then I saw a something that appeared infront of me a voice “Thank you Subaru I hope we can meet again soon right and please don’t cry” My tears stop flowing then the light disappeared with the same voice it was the voice of Kentaro and his acceptance of my confession but I knew I would never get to see him again.
