Marui Bunta-Let shares this, okay?

/Risa/
I was eating my lunch with my friend, well not best friend. Then, I saw a boy with red hair, chewing on a bubble gum walked to another side of the table. I sighed and my friend was having her eyes beaming with stars. She liked him for a long time.

“Hi May, is this your friend?” He asked.

“Yeah, she is Risa. Rise, he’s Marui.” My friend introduced.

“Hi…” I simply waved, “I got to go, see you later?” I walked away.

~Marui~
Risa… So that was her name… Finally, I got to know her name. I stood up and followed her. She was going to the rooftop. She sat at the shade and I sat beside her.

“Hey, my name is Marui. Nice meeting you.” I started with a smile.

“Hi… Risa.” She answered plainly.

“Are you always that cold?”

“Here, want this?” She handed me a bag of chips.

“Of course I want!” I pounced on her and I was on top of her.

She was blushing madly and I was too. I have loved her since the day she came into this school. I inched closed and placed my lips on hers. Her lips were tender and sweet because of her lip balm or was it my gum? I removed my lips from hers and my gum was in her mouth.

She was chewing on it. I sat up and pulled her up as well. I opened the bag of chips and she was still blushing. I ate one and she followed too.

“Let share this, okay?” Both of us spoke at the same time and laughed.

Ryou Kisarazu-First meeting

/Ryou/
Same old day today… I wondered is there anything new here. I sat in the park and stared up to the sky. My twin brother was not at home as he was in his dormitory in his high school. My mom was out and dad was working. Feeling the breeze was so good, but then my cap flew off. I started to run for it.

The wind stopped and my cap landed in front of a girl. She picked it up and she was gorgeous. She had a pair of auburn eyes and a head of rose red hair. She tilted her head and smiled. She looked so cute.

“Is this yours?” She asked.

“Yeah…” I answered and she handed it to me.

“Don’t wear a cap next time when the wind starts to blow, okay?”

“Yeah, sure…” She walked but I stopped, “What’s your name?”

“My name is Aya, what’s yours?”

“Ryou.”

“Well, nice to meet you, Ryou.” She smiled.

Just this first meeting, both of us had been together for a few months since then.

“Ryou, what are you thinking now?” Aya asked.

“Nothing, just thinking about you.” I held her and she smiled.

Seiichi Yukimura-An angel

/Yukina/
I was in a hospital of some accident. I have a pair of scars which looked like a pair of wings that sprouted from my back. It really hurt a lot. I wanted to get down of the bed. I heaved a sigh and got off of my bed. I wore the clothes that were provided by the hospital.

I walked to the garden. I strolled around and I saw someone was lying on the ground. I rushed to the person and it was a boy. I noticed a wheelchair behind him, so I guessed he fell off of it. I slowly carried him up and sat him on the wheelchair. Then, he slowly opened his eyes. I kneeled in front of him and he smiled.

He was so feminine and he seemed so kind and caring. He had a head of navy blue hair and a pair of same colour eyes.

“Thank you for helping me.” He smiled.

“No, it’s ok…” I was blushing as he was so handsome.

“May I know your name?”

“My name is Yukina.”

“You have a beautiful name and eyes. My name is Yukimura.”

“Thank you. I’m a Eurasian, that’s why my eyes are one green and one blue.”

“Oh, that’s nice.”

“So, may I ask why you are in the hospital?” I asked.

“I have Guillain-Barré syndrome, a neurological disease.”

“Oh… I’m sorry…”

“No, it’s ok. It’s good to see someone care here.” He smiled.

“Why do you say that? Don’t your friends care about you?”

“They do, but they have to fight on their own.”

“What do you mean?”

“They play tennis and I’m the captain. I felt so useless for having this syndrome.”

I placed my hand on top of his and smiled.

“Don’t worry. I think that they have placed faith and hope in you, so do your best to recover from it.”

“Thank you so much, Yukina. I’ve just known you.”

“Well, you want to go back to your friends. You have to be strong.”

“Ha-ha, you’re right.” He chuckled.

Both of us talked about each other and I got to know that he was the captain of Rikkai Dai Tennis Club. Yukimura told me that he was the three monsters of the Rikkai Dai. However, he did not look like one though. His two friends and he joined the tennis club when they were only first years.

“Yukina, do you have any friends?” He asked.

“Not really…” I looked down, “Nobody cares even if I die…”

“I don’t believe in that. You’re an angel.”

“No, I’m not… I have to go now… Bye…” I stood and walked to my ward.

/Yukimura/
I watched as Yukina walked away. She was a nice girl, but no one cares about her. A nurse came and pushed me back to my ward. I was thinking of Yukina. I hoped that she was alright. I was reading a book and my doctor came in with the reports.

I was alright and I might get discharged very soon. I was thinking about Yukina. I turned and asked the doctor about her.

“Doctor, do you know a patient named Yukina?”

“Yes, I do. She’s one of my patients.” He answered.

“Why is she in the hospital?”

“She had a car accident and the one that knocked her down was her own father.”

I was shock and the doctor had left the room. No wonder that Yukina said that no one cared about her. Her own father was trying to kill her. I left the bed and I could walk again. I guessed the syndrome had subsided. I walked to her ward and saw Yukina lying on the bed while looking out of the window.

I placed my hand on her shoulder and she looked at me teary eyes. Yukina just embraced me and I was surprised but I understood how she feels. I hugged her closely and just being there with her.

/Yukina/
I looked up and Yukimura was smiling like an angel so much. I knew that my father was the one that wanted me to be dead. Yukimura held me more tightly and comforted me. He sat on my bed and I lay my head on his chest. I could his warmth from his body.

“Yukina, don’t be sad, alright?” He said with concern and with his tender voice.

I remained silent and he wiped my tears away. Yukimura was a strong person even though his body was weak. I could not be like him. I gazed into his eyes and he did too. His deep blue eyes were so beautiful. He kissed my forehead and I blushed.

“Yukina, you’re an angel and I know that.”

“Yukimura…”

“I saw you before. You’re the girl that was sent in here for ER. I saw the scars on your back. It was like a pair of wings sprout from out of your back.”

“Yukimura… I…”

“Be my angel.” He smiled.

“I…” I trailed off as his tender lips were on mine.

“We’re angels of each other and I love you.”

“I love you too… Angel…”

Sanada Genichiroh-So that’s the reason

/Aki/
I was training kendo in the dojo of Sanada Family. My sensei told me to rest for a while so I kneeled down and sat on my legs. I closed my eyes and meditated. I did not wish anything to bother me right now. Sensei said that he was going to introduce his son to me.

I have no interest in him. If he had the talents of Kendo, I might listen to him once. Then, I heard the door slides open and I faced the door. It was a boy that was so much taller than me. He had a head of black-blue hair and a pair of light brown eyes. He had a calm but strict features and he was talking to Sensei.

I noticed that they were looking and talking about me. I returned to my position of meditation. Footsteps stopped behind me and I took out my bamboo sword and hit him. However, he stopped the attack and I was impressed. I placed my sword down and bowed to him.

“I’m sorry for attacking without warning.” I said sincerely.

“I’m impressed with your concentration.” He responded.

“Arigatou.” I smiled.

“You must be Aki.” He said.

“Yes and you must be Sensei’s son, Genichiroh.”

“Yes, I am. Let’s resume practice.”

I nodded and both of us trained. After a few hours, I have lost against Genichiroh. I was sitting on the floor, panting heavily. Genichiroh sat beside me and I tilted my head to look at him confusedly. He had a strict face and I did not mind it at all. I liked the way he acted, serious and smart.

“Aki, do you know how to play Tennis?” Genichiroh asked.

“Yes, I do. Why do you ask?”

“We could practice together.”

“Thank you Genichiroh, but my body is not that well.”

He nodded and I noticed that there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. I shrugged it off and looked away. I picked up my sword and walked to the door. I opened and looked back to Genichiroh. I smiled while tilting my head.

“See you tomorrow, Genichiroh.” I said and walked out of the dojo.
/Sanada/
“See you tomorrow, Aki.” I muttered.

She left and I did not even know where she studied. I picked my sword and went to change. I was hoping that my father was not watching us when we were talking to each other. Otherwise, he would be starting to push me to marry some girl that I did not even know.

A few days ago, my father was saying that I have a fiancée. I was surprised that my father just agreed to it without telling me. I did not know how my fiancée looked like. I sat on my bed and thought of Aki. I really hoped that my fiancée was her. My eyes were slowly closed and I slept.

Morning came and the rays of light shone to my eyes. I turned to look at the clock and it was still early. I did my daily routine and went to the kitchen. My mother was already preparing breakfast for the family. I sat down and greeted her.

“Good morning, Okaa-san.”

“Good morning, Genichiroh. So, did you talk to the girl last night?” She asked.

“Are you pointing to Aki?”

“Yes, she’s a nice girl. I don’t like your father for forcing you to marry a girl that you didn’t even meet.”

“I know, but this is my father’s decision.”

“I understand.” She said and placed breakfast on the table.

“Where is Father?”

He’s in the garden.” She smiled and I nodded.

I ate my breakfast and prepared my things for school. I went out to the garden and saw my father was tending to his plants. I approached him and he turned.

“I knew that you want to talk me about your marriage.” My father started.

“Father, I wish to decline it.” I answered.

“Son, there’s nothing I could do. I have promised to my friend that when the both of our child grew up, they will marry each other.”

I nodded and left half heartedly for school. I was walking down the road. Then, I saw a familiar figure standing a few meters away from me. It was Aki. She was listening to her music and I saw her uniform. It was our school’s uniform. She studied in my school. I was too dense to notice her.

She turned and saw me. She smiled and approached me.

“Ohayo, Genichiroh-kun.” She smiled.

“Ohayo, Aki.” I greeted.

“So, we’re heading to the same place.”

I nodded and walked first. Aki was following me and I heard she was singing.

/Aki/
I was singing my favorite song: Heart of Sword.

“When I’m alone, tomorrow feels so far away.
And I must go over still into the darkness of dawn.
If I try to play it straight, it will no doubt fail, and tonight it won’t go well between us again.

You can’t see all of my hard efforts, because it’s only result is that it makes no sense.
It really is a ‘tightrope.’
More effort, more damage—this is my daily life.
Taking a cynical attitude may give me some comfort…

Hiding myself, heated and irritated; living only a short time.
When I’m alone, tomorrow feels far away.
And I must go over still into the darkness of dawn.

If I let my emotions free, my dreams will once again not go well.
I think the balance sheet of my life is imperfect.
If I add up the plusses and minuses, will it really equal to zero?
I want to control all my luck that may be used up before my life is ended.

You don’t know—you can change logic at your will.
I hurt myself because of you, over and over; but my love didn’t go away—it kept coming back.
The toughness gained from my damage is unbelievable.

I won’t be able to sleep at all tonight either.
However many times it’s repeated…
It revives again and again—because it’s love.
You can’t blame my emotion.

Because you should know it will never fade away.
When I’m alone, tomorrow feels far away.
And even though I’m in the darkness of dawn, I have to go.
I don’t care about ‘bad affinity’.
Even if our love is not doing well, nevertheless we have deep ties.”

I loved the song so much that I was crying because of the meanings. I felt so painful at the last part of the song. I looked at Genichiroh and I was blushing. I looked down and walked ahead of him. Then, I felt someone held my wrist and it was him. I stopped and looked down.

Both of us remained quiet. He pulled my arm and we walked to school hand in hand. I stopped half way and he stopped too. I struggled out of his grip and ran to my classroom. My heart was thumping so hard. I could not love anyone anymore. I was being engaged.

I did not even know what my fiancée looked like. I did hope he was Genichiroh. Wait a minute! What was I talking about!? I have just known him for one day and I was falling for him. I sat in my seat and took out my books for lessons. I saw Genichiroh was coming into the class.

I have the same class as him. He sat in front which was the nearest to the teacher’s table. I looked at him with sad eyes and he was just staring at me. I looked out of the window and he sat down. My heart hurts. I wished that I have not met him. After lessons, I was the last to go for lunch as I was struggling to study.

“Do you need help?” Genichiroh asked out of nowhere.

“Yes, may be a little.” I answered while looking down.

He grabbed a chair and sat beside me. He taught me and I have all of my homework with his help. I heaved a sigh and lay my head on the table.

“Genichiroh-kun, sorry about this morning.” I whispered.

“I’m sorry too.”

“Please don’t tell anybody about the things that I’m going to tell you.”

“I won’t.”

“I’m engaged. I don’t even know who my fiancée is. I felt I was trapped in cage that was set by my parents. I feel nobody cares about me. Nobody knows how I feel.” I cried.

“Aki, I understand.” He placed his hand on mine.

I looked at him and he had a look that he really does understand. Genichiroh held me tightly and comforted me. I wrapped my arms around him and cried in his arms. He lifted my chin up and wiped my tears away. I felt like I have known him for a long time.

“I’m engaged too and it was not my decision at all. I was hoping my fiancée is you.” He said.

“Me? Why?” I asked.

“Because I have fallen for you.”

“Genichiroh-kun, but both of us are…”

“May be it was the both of us. You’ll never know.”

“I hope so.”

“Do you want go to train tonight?”

“Yes, for some serious work.”

“Alright, I’ll be there too.” He kissed my forehead.

“Okay…”

After school, I went back home and changed. I got ready for the training of Kendo. I walked there and there was Genichiroh and his father. I noticed my father was there too. My younger brother, Soujirou, waved and I smiled at him. He was only six and he was such a cutie.

He rushed to me and I hugged him. I walked to my father and sat beside him.

“Aki, this is your fiancée, Sanada Genichiroh.” My father pointed to him.

“Son, Miss Aki will be your future wife. So, please take care of her.” Sensei pointed to me.

Genichiroh and I were staring at each other and we did not even know that both of us were already engaged with each other. I smiled at him and he did too. After that, I was left by them and I was alone with Genichiroh. We were training hard on Kendo. We trained until we could not stand and lay on the floor.

I took off the headgear and I was sweating profusely. I took off every gear that was needed in Kendo, but with the traditional clothes on. I was able to breathe normally. Genichiroh was already starting to doze off. I walked to him and bent down beside him. He smiled and I did too.

“Do you want to sleep?” I asked.

“Kind of.”

I sat down while placing his head on my lap. He reached up and touched my cheek. I held his hand and kissed his forehead.

“I told you that may be we’re together.” He said.

“Yeah, you’re right.”

“Aishiteru, Aki.”

“So that’s the reason for engagement. Aishiteru, Genichiroh.” I said and he kissed deeply and tenderly on my lips.

Hiroshi Yagyuu-A song just for you

/Nobara/
I was playing my guitar in the park which was next to the tennis court. I was wearing a red-checked short which was till my knees, a pair of black boots, a black t-shirt with a white cross in the middle of it. I wore chains around my waist and gloves as well as a black leather collar with a sliver cross.

The players in the court were playing pretty well. I have no interest in that though. I knew how to play but I rather spend my time playing and singing music. Then, I saw one of them was looking at me. I stopped playing and left the park. I took a glimpse of the person and it was a boy with spectacles.

He still looking at me may be. I did not bother anyway.

/Yagyuu/
I was looking at a girl that was playing the guitar. She was talented.

“Hey Yagyuu, what are you looking at?” My partner, Nioh, called.

“Nothing. Let’s resume practice.” I answered.

Both of us practiced tennis and it was quite late. My teammates went home first and I sat on the bench. I was resting and taking off my spectacles. Then, I heard footsteps. I looked up and it was the same girl. She tilted her head with an impassive look on her.

“You’re on my turf.” She started.

“Then, please excuse me for intruding it.” I answered.

“Fine.” She sat beside me and listened to her IPod.

She was blasting her IPod really loud and she looked like a gangster or a punk. She took out a book and read it as she brought her knees to her chest. She turned and faced me and took off her earphone.

“What are you looking at?” She asked.

/Nobara/
“What are you looking at?” I asked him as he kept watching me.

He remained silent and I stared at him for a while. I heaved a sigh and listened to my music again. He stood and I looked at him. He walked away with his tennis bag and I saw that there was a pair of glasses on the bench. It belonged to him. I wanted to call him but he had already gone.

I took it and placed it in my pocket. I walked the different opposite of his and walked to my favorite spot. It was the fountain that was located in the middle of the park. I sat there and enjoyed the breeze. That guy was like a gentleman. I hated those kinds of people. They loved to act so much.

I gazed up the silvery moon and counting the stars. It felt so calm here. I hoped that I would not have to go back to school. I studied in Rikkai Dai.

/Yagyuu/
I walked back home while thinking that girl. Then, I remembered that I forgot about my spectacles. However, I guessed the girl must have already spoiled it. I would have to make a new pair again. I went back home and greeted everyone. I did my night routine and lay in my bed.

I was thinking about that girl. Why do I feel like I have seen her before? Never mind, I have to train without spectacles tomorrow. I slept soundly. Morning came and I did my daily routine. I got ready and went to school.

/Nobara/
I was walking to school while holding the spectacles. I wished the guy would come and take from me. Then, suddenly, I bumped into a guy. Both of us fell backwards and I looked at the guy who bumped into me. It was the boy from yesterday.

“Hey, it’s you.” I pointed.

“Huh?” He responded.

“Here, your spectacles. You left it on the bench yesterday.”

“You helped me to keep it?”

“Of course I did. I don’t want anybody to spoil it.”

“Sorry, here let me help you.” He offered his hand as he stood up.

I gladly took it and smiled to him. He wore his spectacles back and he looked at me with confused eyes.

“What?” I asked.

“You’re in Rikkai Dai?” He questioned.

“Yeah, I’m in there, so you’re too?”

“Yes, I’m Hiroshi Yagyuu.”

“My name is Saishii Nobara.”

“So, do you want me to walk with you?”

“Yeah right, we studied at the same school.” I chuckled and punched his hand playfully.

“You’re right though.” He chuckled too.

Both of us talked, joked and laughed. He was a nice person than anybody that I have met. We arrived at the school gate and we went in. I earned some glares from his fans, but I ignored it. Hiroshi and I had the same classes for the whole day. The first was Biology. I hated it.

I was working so hard not to fall asleep in class or else I have detention again. I was laying my head on the table already. Hiroshi was sitting beside me and he kept knocking on the table softly just to keep me awake. At last the end of lesson, I was so tired.

“Nobara-chan, are you alright?” Hiroshi asked.

“Yeah, I’m just a bit tired.” I answered.

“You can sleep on my shoulder if you want.”

“Huh…? No… It’s ok.” I was blushing.

“Don’t hurt yourself too.”

How did he know that I cut myself? I hid it very well. Hiroshi allowed me to lie on his shoulder and I felt comfortable. I was sleeping but I could still hear what other people said.

/Yagyuu/
I saw that Nobara was sleeping soundly. She looked so beautiful this way. I could never imagine that she was the punk girl. I smiled at her and kissed her forehead. I went insane. What was I doing? I think that she would not mind. I lay my head on her and rest for a while.

“Nobara-chan, you make me feel strange.” I whispered.

“Really?” She asked.

“Yes, a gentleman will never do that to a lady.”

“Hiroshi thanks for being nice to me. Nobody had been so nice to me for a long time.”

“Nobara-chan…”

“Will you come to the park after school?”

“I have training so I can’t. I’m sorry.”

“It’s alright. After practice, please meet me at the bench where we first meet.”

“I will, promised.”

“Thank you, Hiroshi.”

/Nobara/
The school ended and I waved goodbye to Hiroshi. I ran back home and grabbed my guitar. I waited at the bench and after a few hours, Hiroshi came. He walked to me and I smiled.

“I’m sorry that I’m late.” He said.

“It’s ok.” I smiled.

“So, what did you call me for?”

“I want to sing a song for you.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, you’re the first to listen me singing.”

“Then, I’ll be honored to listen to you sing.”

“Thank you, Hiroshi.”

I started to sing and it was entitled 1/3 of my true feelings. After I sang, Hiroshi was staring at me. I was blushing. I looked down. However, Hiroshi lifted my chin up.

“That was beautiful.” He started.

“Really? I thought it was really bad.” I answered softly.

“No, it was great. Is it for me?”

“Yes, just for you.”

“Thank you, Nobara-chan.” He kissed lightly on my lips.

I was blushing so red and I was surprised that a gentleman like him had such passionate kiss. I returned his kiss and he wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck. Both of us parted out lips and I was still blushing. He chuckled and I pouted.

“What’s so funny?” I asked.

“You’re adorable when you’re blushing.” Hiroshi answered.

“Thank you and that song were just for you and no one else.”

“Then, would you willing to be mine?”

“Yes, of course!” I held him tightly.

“The song was just for me.” He caught my lips passionately in the night.

Nioh Masaharu-My hero

/Nioh/
I was walking down the corridors normally like I always did. Then, I bumped into somebody.

“Ow… Can you watch where you are going?” I asked as I was rubbing my head.

“I’m so sorry…” It was a girl and she stood and ran away.

“Hey, wait! What’s your name!?” I called but she was gone.

I did not even know how she looked like. I shrugged and walked to my classroom. I was settling down in my seat and I noticed that a new student was coming in. It was a girl. She gave the teacher a slip of paper and the teacher nodded.

“Alright, students, this is Ai Amaya. Please take care of her as she will be joining our class.”

The girl lifted up her head and she looked beautiful. She had long hair of black with auburn highlights and a pair of navy blue eyes. She bowed and said nothing. She was having a faint tint on her face. She looked cute that way. There was an empty seat beside me and Amaya was walking to me.

She sat beside me and looked down on the table. She took out her books and got ready for lessons. During the whole time, I caught myself staring at her.

“Nioh… Nioh!” I snapped out of my daydreaming and I saw an angry face of my teacher.

“Oh boy…” I muttered.

“Stand outside of the classroom now!” He yelled and pointed to the door.

I muttered something bad under my breath and walked out of the classroom I stood outside and thinking about Amaya. I knew that I have only met her. It must be my mind playing tricks on me. I leaned against the wall with my hands on my pockets. I stared up to the ceiling.

After a few hours, the lessons were over and everybody came out of the classroom. I went back in and I saw Amaya was still sitting over there. I packed up my things and she stood up. She passed me a piece of paper and I was surprised at her actions.

I took the paper and it was all the homework that needed to be done. She looked down on the floor with her hands holding together.

“I’m sorry…” She bowed and left for lunch.

“Hey wait, Amaya-chan!” I called but she was already gone.

Damned it! Why must she walk away whenever I called for her? I hoped to find her later. I walked to the canteen and ate my lunch. Then, I saw she was eating her lunch all alone. She was a quiet girl and I walked to her. I sat beside her and she looked at me with impassive face but with a tint of sadness.

/Amaya/
My classmate, Nioh, sat beside me. I wondered what he wanted. I looked down and he started to eat beside me. I looked at him confusedly and he smiled. I felt a bit weird in my heart like having butterflies in my stomach. I continued to eat and Nioh kept moving towards me.

I looked down and he lifted my head up. I stared into his green orbs and I was blushing. I pushed his hand away slowly. I stood and walked away from him. I was afraid of boys as I was almost taken by them. I was too afraid to talk to anyone. I changed to this school just to escape from them.

I went back to the classroom and sat there. I lay my head on the table and have my eyes closed half way. I was trying not to doze off.

/Nioh/
Amaya just left. What was wrong with me? Why did I bother her anyway? Then, I saw my friend, Yagyuu, walking to me.

“Hey Yagyuu.” I greeted.

“Hello and where have you been?” He asked.

“Nowhere. I’m here all along.”

“Good, and did you know there was a new student came here?”

“Yeah, I do. It was a girl.”

“I see. Well, I have to go.” He said and left.

“Weird gentleman.” I muttered.

I walked back to my classroom and found Amaya was lying on the table. I did not want to bother her now. I sat in my seat and she was sleeping. She looked adorable this way. Then, the teacher came in. I shook Amaya up and she woke up. She nodded to motion me thank you. I smiled and she looked at the table blushing.

After a few hours, the school was over and Amaya was packing up. She walked out of the classroom and just nice that I did not have any tennis practice. I followed Amaya.

/Amaya/
I was walking back home and I felt suddenly, I was grabbed from behind and dragged into the alley way. I was trying to scream. My bag was dropped on the floor and the kidnapper still dragging me to somewhere. I was keep trying to scream.

/Nioh/
I was following Amaya and she was gone. I looked around and she did disappear. I saw a bag was on the ground and I picked it up. I opened up and it was Amaya’s bag. I kept running and found a shoe was on the ground. It must be Amaya. She had been kidnapped. Then, I saw a man dragging somebody and I saw it was Amaya.

“Amaya!” I yelled.

The man looked to me and he took out a knife from his pocket. I dodged it as he charged to me and quickly carried Amaya away from this place. She was crying.

“Amaya, don’t worry. I’ll get you away from that kind of guy.” I said and kept running.

I kept running to my house and placed Amaya down on the couch. I was panting so hard. Amaya was looking down and looking sorry as well. I sat beside her and she looked away.

“You shouldn’t have saved me…” She started.

/Amaya/
“You shouldn’t have saved me…” I started.

“Why are you so quiet?” He asked.

“Huh?”

“You don’t talk in the school. Are you avoiding someone?”

“Yes, many of them.”

“Who?”

“Boys. I was transferred to the school because I almost lose my body…” I held myself tightly.

“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to…”

“It’s ok…” I hid my eyes behind my fringes.

Then, Nioh embraced me tightly. I did not know how to trust him. I was struggling inside. I did not how it feels when liking somebody. Nioh released me but I was still in his arms. I blushed and he chuckled.

“Do you know how it feels when you like somebody?” He asked.

“No…” I shook my head.

“Like this.” He held my hand and brought it to his heart.

His heart was thumping very quickly and he held my hand to his cheek. He was very red and hot. He embraced one more time and I was lying on his chest. I snuggled into his chest and it felt warm. He lifted my chin and kissed me in the lips. I was surprised but I relaxed and kissed him back.

It was passionate and gentle. Both of us parted our lips and gazed into each other’s eyes.

“Amaya, I know it’s a little early, but will you be my girlfriend?” He asked.

“Nioh…” I trailed off as he placed a finger on my lips.

“Not Nioh anymore. It’s Masaharu.” He smiled.

“Okay, I will, Masaharu.” I embraced him, “My hero…”

Mukahi Gakuto-A dance of love

/Gakuto/
I was walking along the corridors of my school. I peered into the dancing room and I saw the girl of my life. It was Saishii. She was dancing and she looked beautiful. I wondered how I am going to call her out. I kept watching Saishii dancing.

It was about an hour and a half, she came out and she saw me. Saishii waved and smiled at me. I waved with a faint tint across my face. She walked to me and greeted me.

“Hi Gakuto, watching the girl that you like dancing again?” Saishii asked.

“Yeah…” I answered while blushing.

“Well, let’s go and eat lunch.” She dragged my hand.

/Saishii/
I was dragging Gakuto’s hand and we went to the rooftop. I sat at the shade and Gakuto sat next to me. I took out my lunch box and ate. Gakuto ate his lunch and it was quiet. There was a soft breeze. I looked at Gakuto and he was in dazed. I placed my hand on his forehead.

He went red in the face and I was thinking why. Gakuto took my hand and placed it on his cheek. Now, I was the one blushing.

“Gakuto, are you feeling alright?” I asked while stammering.

“Yeah, why do you ask?” He answered.

“Well, whenever I look at you, your face turned red.”

“Oh… It’s because I want to tell you something.”

“What is it?” I asked while looking down on the floor.

“I… I…”

“Hey, Gakuto!!” I heard Jirou’s voice.

Both of us released our hands and looked away. Jirou appeared and I smiled at him. I stood up and walked away from them. I liked Gakuto, but I knew that he liked another girl. I bet it is Nodin. My name meant lonely and that means that I would be lonely for my whole life.

I walked to the tennis courts and stared at it dreamily. My hand held the fence and thinking of Gakuto was always here flipping around. His playing style of tennis was acrobatics. I loved the way he jumped and leaped. He was flipping and showing off his acrobatics moves for me.

/Gakuto/
I heaved an annoyed sigh as Jirou came. I was trying to confess to Saishii. Jirou was staring at me and I ignored him. I shoved my hands into my pockets and walked away to the tennis courts. I saw Saishii was over there. I walked to her and she turned.

“What are you doing here?” I asked.

“Thinking of you flipping there and here for me.” She smiled.

“Oh, do you want to see?”

“Yes, I want to!” She clapped her hands together.

“Well, meet me in the park after school.” I smiled.

“Thank you, Gakuto!” She hugged me lovingly.

I was blushing, but I wrapped my arms around her waist. I laid my head on her shoulder and she laid her head on mine too. I smell her scent and it was so nice to have her. I did not want her to leave. Saishii was a caring girl. She was not like Atobe’s fans that just wanted to be famous by knowing us.

She just wanted to be friends and viewed us as normal people. She did not play favoritism. I felt really different around her. I really loved Saishii. I released her, but still in my arms. She looked down and blushed. I lifted up her chin and kissed her on the lips.

I could sense that her eyes were wide open. I was laughing in my mind. Then, the bell rung. I parted our lips and I ran to my classroom. I looked back and she was still in a dazed. I winked at her.

“Don’t forget to come!” I waved and ran to my classroom.

/Saishii/
I touched my lips and I was blushing madly. So, Gakuto liked me, I thought he liked Nodin. I quickly ran back to my classroom and waited for the time for me to see Gakuto. After the classes, I packed my things and went to park immediately. I sat the bench and waited for Gakuto.

Then, I saw him. I waved and he ran to me. I smiled and he did too. I sat down and he placed his bag on the bench. He started to leap and flip. I kept clapping and it was amusing to watch him doing acrobatics. After a few minutes, Gakuto was tired. I took out tissue paper and wiped his sweats away.

“Oh yeah, I forgot to ask you something!” He sprang up.

“What?” I asked.

“Would you dance with me?” He offered his hand.

“Do you know how to dance?”

“Of course I do, I watched you dancing every time.”

“So, you’re watching me, not Nodin?”

“Yeah, you thought I like her?”

“Yeah, I caught you staring at her.”

“Ha-ha, that for tricking you.”

“Gakuto, you know that I like you too.”

“Really…? I ‘m sorry. I thought…”

I kissed his lips and I felt that his eyes wide open. I was sitting on his laps. He relaxed and kissed me deeply. I wrapped my arms around his neck and I did not care anything but him. I loved Gakuto. We parted our lips and Gakuto stood up and offered his hand.

I smiled and accepted his dance. Both of us dance with the sunset. This is a dance of love.
