Chapter 28: The Red Tie

I met Zero and Kain out side. The chairman was learning against the door frame ready to see us off. I hugged him and he smiled at me with out saying anything. I would miss his annoyingly stupid ways.

"Bye farther" I called out to him as we started to walk away.

"TAKE CARE!" He shouted even though we were only a couple of feet away. "Live long, and peaceful lives, and if possible die with a smile" Would that be the last sentence I would ever here from him.

His smile widened and he waved to us until we were out of site, we could hear him shouting bye madly after us which made us all smile and roll our eyes. He may of been a little crazy but he had always tried to make our lives as enjoyable as possible.

Zero was carrying a larger grey ruck sack, and was wearing it on one shoulder. He looked like a cool tall hiker. Kain was carrying a small dark green bag which looked like it could hardly carry anything in it at all. How was he meant to survive on that?

"Why haven't you packed anything?" Zero asked him disbelief on his face, while also shaking his head. I thought to myself how Zero acted fatherly towards Kain. It was a nice thought.

"Well I dont need much ill buy some stuff once we find somewhere."

Me and Zero looked at each other numbly.

"You didn't think how we could survive with out money did you?" Kain looked at us rolling his eyes again. "Well good thing my dads the owner of several train companies and that I have access to his bank account" He smirked at us and started laughing.

We hadn't even thought about money at all but it seemed that Kain had it all covered. The kid sure was energetic and full of surprises.

Zero shook his head but looked happy. He held my hand as Kain walked in front.

"I guess this is the end of everything huh" he said to me his purple eyes looked like they were looking into my very soul and my heart skipped a beat.

"Its not the end. Its the beginning"

He smiled crookedly and held my hand tighter. We were nearing the gates that would lead out to the wide and open world. But then I had an idea and stopped. Zero looked at me and seemed to understand something with out me even having to tell him.

"Can you give us a few minutes?" Zero asked him

"Sure thing" Kain carried on walking till he was just outside the large iron gates.

I walked over to a large cherry blossom tree. Its branches were low with age but it still looked amazing. The pink petals fell down around us every time the breeze hit its branches. I walked under the branches and walked around it a little until I found a lower hanging branch that I could reach.

I took Zero's red tie that I had kept in my pocket and tied it around the branch. I knotted it a few times making sure it couldn't make a get away.

I let it go and it spun in different directions from the wind. It would stay as a reminder. Zero came towards me and hugged me from behind, his head leaning against mine. The petals swirled around us.

"Ill miss that tie" he said a hint of amusement in his voice.

"Me too"
