Author's Note: Hey, after writing a loooooong first chapter of Target(Which you should check out and review ;) Haha shameless promotion) I've decided to try writing a series of short stories. Please read, don't skim over it and review. And also, when you get to the end, read the story again. Cheers!- Jinxei

Misaki's POV

As I walked in the rain, my pace increased to a quick staccato. Puddles of muddy water made sploshing sounds against the already existing pitter-patters of the day. I breathed slowly and took in the fresh, cold air that rejuvenated my lungs. It only had been one day since I had argued with Usui. Looking back, it all seemed so stupid, arguing over something so small. But that small thing had we argued over had left a dent in our relationship. I had walked out of the house we shared, angry at Usui's attitude towards the way the woman reacted. She had clearly been flirting with him, and had even tried to kiss him. But Usui was calm and stoic when I had confronted him about it. And he still was calm and stoic when I had left the house in a rash fury. I had hoped for some kind of reaction from him, perhaps a mere sentence depicting how he was mine and mine only. My hopes had been too high. Why would he bother his emotions over a stupid jealous woman like me?

I stopped walking. My hair had become soaked, and I was chilled to the bone. In my rash phase I had forgotten to bring my umbrella with me.

"I-Im so stupid…" I muttered. I looked pathetic, I felt pathetic and I am pathetic. I hurried to the playground where we had often sat, and headed over to the swings. I looked around. Everything seemed black and white today. Maybe it was just the fight, or the rain. Or maybe it was because I was here alone. Either way, it was depressing, but it was tranquil in a sense. I felt calm. I sat down on the swing. Using my feet, I propelled myself up into the air. I forgot about all my troubles, my fears, my insecurities. But never once during those 5 minutes of peace did I forget about Takumi Usui.

I smirked. "Stupid Takumi…" I whispered to the ring on my finger. He always had a way of making me remember him, his name and his face. I looked up. The rain had eased and there was a rainbow amidst the dark clouds. I smiled.

"There's always a rainbow after rain, hey?" I chuckled to myself. Maybe it was a sign. Maybe the sky gods were trying to tell me that life wasn't all sunshine and butterflies. That a relationship needed its ups and downs. That it was impossible to have a happy relationship without a fight. After all, it was our first fight. Maybe I was being told that in a relationship, you have to forgive each other, and you have to never give up. I smiled.

"Thank you." I whispered to no one in particular.

Now that I had calmed down, I slowly stood up from the swings, and walked back to where I came from. The shops and the streetlights were now a blur as I found myself running back to the man I loved. Takumi Usui. I saw him running from the opposite direction. I slowed down my pace. He smiled at me and I smiled back.

"I'm sorry." He mouthed.

"I'm sorry too." I mouthed back.

As we walked in the rain, our pace increased to a quick staccato. Puddles of muddy water made sploshing sounds against the already existing pitter-patters of the day. We breathed slowly and took in the fresh, cold air that rejuvenated our lungs.
