Foreword

YamaShi Tale

 

(List will be updated)

 

1. Forever Best Friend

Sneak peek:

“Hey, Mirai, let’s get married.”

Shida Mirai had been waiting for someone to tell her that words, but when it did come, it came from a person and in a time she least expected. Those words... she heard it from her best friend in her only family’s funeral.


2. Forbidden (Part 1)

 Sneak peek:

He pulled her in his embrace, “I wish I could, but it’s something beyond my power. At least, I know you’ll be in a good hand.”

She pulled away, looking up to him, “Promise me you’ll always be by my side no matter what happen?”

He smiled gently, “You know how much I love you, Umika-chan. I will never leave you. Not again.”

“I love you, too.”

Mirai shook her head out of disbelief. She wasn’t supposed to eavesdrop on that conversation, but since it’s already done, she couldn’t help but wonder.  That girl is Kawashima Umika, and that guy is Yamada Ryosuke. Umika is Chinen Yuri’s fiancee, and Yamada Ryosuke is his best buddy. So, what was that she witnessed just now? An affair between the fiancee and the best friend? She shuddered in disgust.

 

3. Forbidden (Part 2)

Sneak peek:

“But... is she okay?” she tried to take a peek at Umika who was still protected in his arms. “Is there something I can help?” Despite the shock and confusion, she was still worried watching Umika sobbing like that.

“It has nothing to do with you. So, please pretend you didn’t see it, and just go.”

She was rather taken aback with his choice of words, but he didn’t notice it. He held Umika and led her to enter his apartment, leaving her all alone in the corridor.

***

“You had been away for too long, Shida. Things have changed.”

His bitter tone when he said that last week still haunted her. As she stared at Ryosuke’s picture, she wondered: what had been changed while she was away? No, it was not the right question. It should be: Which change he referred to when saying that line?

***

 

4. Myriad Riddles (Part 1)

Sneak Peek:

Shida Mirai. He only learned her name recently. She was his class mate and he was rather surprised he didn’t notice her in the class. Well, they just started high school last week and she did not have any outstanding appearance for him to notice since there were lots of people surrounding him every day. However, it all changed after his encounter with her in the cafeteria. She had given him her strawberry shortcake, and it was not a simple deal for him............

*****

“Mirai-chan!” Suzuka threw herself at her, hugging her so tight. “When did you arrive? Why you didn’t tell me that you’re back? I miss you so much!”

She laughed at her friend’s reaction upon seeing her before her door. “You’re suffocating me Suzu-chan.”

Suzuka pulled away with teary eyes, but her smile was so wide, but then turned to a pout, “You better bring me a good news.”

“Well, how if I tell you I met Yamada Ryosuke?” She wanted to tease Suzuka since back then both of them admired Ryosuke just the same.

“Oh, did you?” Suzuka exclaimed. “Unfortunately I already changed my heart for someone else.”

Suzuka laughed and she joined in. Soon, they were engrossed with talking various topics. However, in the back of her head, she had something lingered around. She noticed the change of expression in Suzuka’s face when she mentioned Ryosuke’s name. It was only in a split of second, but she was sure Suzuka’s smile indeed faltered before replying her with laughter.

She had to find the answers about her nightmares, and she had a feeling that her best friend knew something.........

5. A Melody of Beginnings

 

Sneak peek:

The swaying white clouds from the sky in a pool of water
The wind blows all of a sudden, making your hair come apart

If you tried to force a laugh, it’d be too rough on you wouldn’t it
Until your heart feels lighter, I will be by your side

**********

They called us best friends. I used to consider you as one myself. I didn’t know, or perhaps I was just too dense to realize, that slowly I saw you as someone else. In my eyes now, you’re no longer my little friend. You are the girl that I’ve fallen for then, am in love with now, and will love till the time I couldn’t tell— I wanted to say forever, but I didn’t even know if that word was applicable.

**********

 

6. Myriad Riddles (Part 2)

Sneak peek:

“Suzu-chan, does Shida-chan still not remember anything?”

She heard Yuto asked.

“She better not,” she answered. “And don’t you dare to even mention about that to her.”

“But isn’t it sad to not knowing about her own life? I mean, no matter how horrible it was it is still part of her life. She should’ve just—”

“Yuto-kun!” her tone became firmer, cutting Yuto off. “You don’t know what she had been through! You don’t know how she felt! So please stop saying like her decision was wrong. I supported her. If she wanted to forget her past, then so be it. If it could make her a bit happier, then I’ll do anything to assure that she wouldn’t remember anything about that incident!”

“Hey, hey, Suzu-chan, please don’t be mad,” Yuto pleaded, bringing his hands together asking forgiveness. “I promise I won’t say anything related to that. I’m sorry.”

She sighed to let go of her sudden anger, “Sorry,” she apologized back. “I didn’t mean to shout at you. Just… you should see how she is now, Yuto-kun. She is happy without that memory. I wish her to stay that way.”

Yuto brushed the tears which unexpectedly leaked out from her eyes with the tip of his thumb. “I hope what we see is indeed true, Suzu-chan.”

Yuto give her a small smile, but instead of comforting her as it usually did, this time it ignited worry in her heart.

**********

 

7. Myriad Riddles (Part 3)

Sneak peek:

“Yuto-kun, I feel bad,” Suzuka muttered. She was in the passenger seat of Yuto’s car as he was taking her home after he and Yamada Ryosuke insisted for her to take a rest.

“It’s not your fault, Suzu-chan,” Yuto replied. “You would have done the same for Shida-chan, right?”

“It’s not what I mean,” she shook her head slightly. “I mean, I feel bad about Yamada-kun.”

“Why?”

“Back then… when I supported Mirai, I only thought about Mirai’s well-being. I didn’t consider about his feeling at all. I thought that if he did love Mirai-chan, he would think the same as me.”

“When Shida-chan’s case happened, we hadn’t been close yet, so I didn’t really know what happened between the three of you. You told me that Shida-chan took hypnotherapy to block her horrible memories, but I don’t really get it why it included Ryosuke. I mean, I didn’t remember he and Shida-chan’s were that close, or even had a romantic relationship. They even never talked in the class.”

“I didn’t know either” she confirmed. “It came as a shock for me, too, the first time I found out about it. One night when Mirai was still in the hospital, I found Yamada-kun with her. He was hugging Mirai and trying to calm her down.”

*****

Umika was with Yuri, standing outside Mirai’s room. She saw her brother inside, sitting beside the bed while holding Mirai’s hand, unmoved. She just heard what happened to Mirai, and her brother never once left the hospital. She was sad, and worried; sad because once again she witnessed her brother in sorrow; worried not only about his health and Mirai’s condition, but also about her own wedding. She wouldn’t want to get married without her brother at her side. Seeing the current circumstance, she wasn’t sure Ryosuke would ever leave Mirai’s side. That’s just how deep his love for Mirai.

“Umika?” Yuri called out to her softly, his hand taking hers, squeezing weakly. “Coming in?”

8. Myriad Riddles (Part 4) (coming soon...)

Sneak peek:

“Here you are, Shida-san.”

Shida Mirai accepted the file handed out to her. Holding the document onto her chest, she mustered a smile, “Thank you for your help, Doctor.”

The older woman smiled back at her, giving a sense of calmness. “As a psychologist, I’m really glad you took this decision. It definitely needs much courage, but I believe it will make you nothing but stronger.”

She nodded. “Yes, I hope so.”

“Also, even though our sessions have ended, don’t hesitate to contact me anytime you need my assistance,” the doctor added.

“Thank you. I’ll remember that,” she stood up from her seat. “But I’ve to go now.”

The doctor reached out a hand, “Good luck, Shida-san.”

She took the outstretched hand and shook it. “Thanks again for your help,” she replied before bowing in gratefulness and leaving the room.

She inhaled and exhaled a breath when she was outside. Staring at the file, she could clearly read every word printed on the cover. “Medical Record: Shida Mirai.”

*****

“Hey, Mr. Newlywed! Shouldn’t you be in honeymoon?”

Nakajima Yuto laughed briefly at his colleague sudden remark.

“Nah, for me everyday is honeymoon,” he lightly smirked.

“Wohoo,” his colleague whistled teasingly. “Seems I should get myself a wife.”

He only laughed at his friend antics.

“Anyway, what are you so seriously reading?” asked his friend later.

He kept scrolling down the text he had been reading on his computer and let his friend read it by himself.

“Shida Naoki? Wasn’t he arrested for a murder case?”

“Yeah,” he answered. “He killed three members of Inagawa-kai in the brawl outside Tokyo four years ago.”

“He had been sentenced right?”

“Yes. Three years. So, he should’ve been released by now,” he made a note for himself.

“Well, why do you suddenly take interest in an old case?”

Instead of answering the question, he got something in mind. Finally giving his friend full attention, he asked, “Shogo-kun, you’ve been here when the case happened right?”

“Yes. Why?”

“Do you by any chance know about the case involving Shida Ayaka and her daughter?”

His friend tried remembering the case until finally his eyes lit up and a smile broke on his face, “Ah, yeah! Shida Ayaka and Shida Mirai. I was in the investigating team back then. Now that I remember, one of the reasons Shida Naoki got lighter sentence was because of that case.”

Listening to his friend’s explanation, he felt adrenaline rush inside. “Could you explain the detail of the case to me?”

“Huh? What’re you up to?”

He shook his head, “Nothing. I’m just curious about the case since one of the victims was my highschool classmate.”

“Oh, right. You came from the same school with her," his friend nodded. "Well, listen then.”

He focused his attention on his friend. Really, after Suzuka explained what happened to Shida Mirai and Yamada Ryosuke, that case had been bothering him ever since. He didn’t know what he was looking for, but his gut feeling told him there was something interesting about the case, and his feeling was rarely missed.
