Depressing Announcement I am very sad to inform you all at KHV that this is my last story in a long time. I am taking a giant hiatus from writing stories to recollect on high school, seeing how it's colliding my time. Hell, this story took about a month to finish because of school, but hey, oh well. I hope you all don't mind this hiatus announcement, and I hope you enjoy this story. I promise you, it will be finished. Backstory All I really have to say, is that this was a time consuming, but fun story to write. It's based off a friendship of two of my greatest friends, Chii and Sutsuki. Trust me when I say their friendship is very inspiring, which is the result of this story. Pixelated Elegance Chapter 1 Pink hair being ever so vivacious in the radiance that is the sun. Her hair breezing in the perfect wave of motion as the wind. Closing her eyes, she held two fingers to keep her bangs from getting in her face like a pin. Before this girl knew it, there was a voice echoing through the silence of Chiiyo's, the beauty, solitude. "Chiiyo!" A waving, brown haired girl shifted beyond the hills with a bright smile on her face. Surely, today would be a fantastic solstice. "Yes, Sumiko?" yet another Japanese name escaped the lips of a ninth grade girl. As the other girl catched up with Chiiyo, light panting had processed softly. "Hey, took me forever to catch up to you, Chiiyo. Why does this hill have to be so high?" "The breeze is nice, of course." Handing an object over to Chiiyo, was a cell phone. Herself, was rather puzzled as to who would call at such a time as nine o' clock in the morning. Answering the phone which has such an odd, unknown number, Chiiyo prepared herself for something strange to happen. No response. Now, that was strange. But what stuck Chiiyo was what Sumiko said in return as Chiiyo handed back Sumiko the cell phone. "Hm, weird. He was talking earlier." How random this situation held up to be. It wasn't long before Sumiko and Chiiyo found themselves walking along a street to grab something for a bit of snacking. Stomachs growling, and music moving along with the bright paven street. Both of them couldn't manage the ability to talk, unbelievably. Once entering the door of a convenience store, Chiiyo noticed something different. A valiant, blue haired boy was smiling as the two walked in. Leaning upon the counter, he dressed in his normal apparel of a skin tight white hoodie, and some minorly baggy faded light blue jeans. His hair was rather straight, but still had poofs that made a perfect example of hair. Chiiyo's glance couldn't keep off the boy. Her composure went straight and a smile stretched slightly upon her face. It was cute, instant love. And what couldn't get anymore cute when the boy opens his eyes and does the same, exact treatment as the pink haired beauty. Already, the boy was studdering. "W-welcome." Chiiyo couldn't help but blush. One hand covered her mouth cutely as her legs formatted in an "X". As if the she couldn't get any cuter in that red striped, skin tight shirt and light blue skirt with knee high white socks. Sumiko walked over to Chiiyo, not wanting to interrupt, but softly let her hand embrace Chiiyo's shoulder, and basically pulled her from the boy. Gasping by surprise, Chiiyo nearly felt like having a heart attack. Pouting cutely, she whispered over to Sumiko in embarrassment. "Oh, come on, I was just about to talk to him." "You couldn't talk to a boy even if you had someone backing you up." Sumiko gave a chuckle. "I don't see what's so funny." Sumiko cuddled with Chiiyo to help make her feel better. "Oh, don't get all angry about it." The serene boy at the counter could only chuckle at their friendship. They seemed so greatly connected. Chiiyo surely was adorable, to his opinion. "The name's Kohei." It was rather unusual to hear a guy just say his name ever so randomly. But, already, Chiiyo instantaneously rolled with it. Chiiyo felt like in a trance as she breezed right over to the boy. Of course, Sumiko followed in case Kohei tried to pull anything. "K-Kohei, huh? M-my name is Chiiyo ..." On the inside, Chiiyo felt like her heart couldn't get any more warm. Sumiko, on the other hand, couldn't stop laughing. Of course, she would refrain to not embarrass her friend. It turned out to be snickers soon later. "That's n-not funny, Sumiko!" Turning her back, Sumiko tried her best not to laugh to hard. Giggling like a child, yet couldn't stop but feel jealous for the two. However, how could it be so sudden? It felt as if the day just went a bit too fast. But to interrupt this beautiful scene of future relationship, a stomach began to growl simultaneously between Chiiyo and Sumiko. "That's it! I'm getting something to eat." Chiiyo and Kohei giggled together as Sumiko went to go get some food real quick. Chiiyo followed after, with her assistance. Soon after the store, the two wave off to Kohei. Chiiyo, hoping to see Kohei again yet some other time. Yet still, something latched onto her as she left the store. Something so unfamiliar for the both of Kohei and Chiiyo. Once Chiiyo left the store, Kohei was holding his heart with one hand. Silently panting to himself, trying to keep his composure. With Chiiyo hiding her eyes with her bangs, trying to hide a blush from Sumiko. Her teasing working perfectly. But what latched to the two of Chiiyo and Kohei? Pure first love. However, it wouldn't be for Sumiko make this moment actually happen. Friendship is true, and Chiiyo felt so grateful, right at that moment, for this day that suddenly hit her with such happiness. However, it still came to mind as to, how, how did this happen to quickly? Was it destined? Was it meant to be? It was all so very confusing. And later that night, as Sumiko and Chiiyo were sleeping over in Chiiyo's room, it came to mind yet again. Smiling ever so cutely, Chiiyo's bangs twitched like cat ears as Kohei kept coming to mind. And of course, the friend noticed a mile away. "Thinking of Kohei, I see?" Emphasizing the ending of 'see', Sumiko creeped up to Chiiyo and hugged her. Teasing her, as usual. "Oh my, Kohei. Please, not there!" Instantly, Chiiyo was already thinking of that situation. "Damn it, Sumiko! Stop making me think like that!" "Rather protective are we? That's only a symptom of love." "Hey, hey, it's not that obvious is it?" "I hope that question was rhetorical, dear." Giggling, the two of them, the night seemed to be a night of chatting for their loves. However, it all seemed to be collided with what they thought would be great when Kohei and Chiiyo meet yet again. "So, what do you think I should do next time I meet him?" Sumiko, playing on the computer, checking some sites, she giggled lightly. "Get his cell number." "Are you sure it's not too sudden?" Spinning around in her chair cross-legged, Sumiko faced Chiiyo, then nodding. "Positive, Chiiyo." "If you says so ..." Chiiyo began to trail off, her index finger leaving repetitive circles in the bed sheets. Yet, through and out those circles, formed a heart, all of the sudden. With that beginning, Chiiyo began to give a coy smile of love down at the heart. Narrowing her attention over to the love stricken Chiiyo, the brunette Sumiko turned to her with a confident smile on her face. "He's perfect for you, from what I can already see." Chiiyo got her attention away from the heart with a confused look on her face. "I think so, too ..." Sumiko suddenly began to sprout some giggles and laughter, but rather in joy then to embarrass. Chiiyo was so glad to have a friend quite like Sumiko. Without her confidence for the two, Kohei and herself, it would've never turned out like this. And once Sumiko began to giggle a bit more, Chiiyo became contagious with the laughter, beginning to giggle with her. And with that, the night, the beautiful day that came yet so sudden, began to end with the beauty of the moon shining through as if a jewel. There is no, absolutely certain, way this could ever go wrong.
