(Two months later)

It's been two months now since the incident with Hiro, but now everything's alright. Tsuki may have left, but I was still able to see everyone else's charas. I never saw Ikuto or any other people from Easter either.

After school Kukai jumped on my back(just like old times, eh?). "Neh, neh! Haruko-chan! Do you want to visit the others again?" he asked as he got off.

I nodded and followed his energetic figure that ran all the way while I just walked.

Kukai was probably at the Royal Garden already as I just finally entered Seiyo's front gates. When I walked, Rima, Yaya, Amu and their charas just happened to bump into me. "Huh? Haru-chan! We're going to get some sweets! Do you want to come?" Yaya asked.

I thought about it for a while. "Hmm. I don't think Kukai would mind if I ditch for a while. I guess. Sure!"

Yaya cheered and pulled my hands so I could walk with them. As we were talking and laughing, a person was watching us from a tree branch. A little chara floated above his head. "Neh. It's been a while since we actually got to see the guardians again huh, nya?"

The person just stared at the oldest girl that was with Amu and the others. "Un.." he mumbled.


"Ami really did that while you were gone?" I laughed as we were walking back to the Royal Garden. Amu miserably sighed.

"Yeah… it was such a big mess cleaning the whole house…" she mumbled as she opened the doors.

"A-ah! Hi-hinamori-san!" Tadase yelled.

We stared with slight disturbed at Tadase, who was wearing Seiyo's uniform for the girls...

"Yo Amu-chan!" a boy with long purple hair said as he was finished putting a skirt on Kukai. I bursted out laughing at Kukai, who was tugging at the edge of the red skirt with a red face.

"OH MY GOD KUKAI!!! YOU LOOK LIKE A GIRL!!!!" I yelled as I rolled on the floor. I looked at the boy I don't know. "You the person that made them wear a skirt?"

He slowly nodded, confused. I smiled and gave him a thumbs up. "Good job!"

Kuklai glared. "It's not fun- Yaya! Stop taking pictures!" he yelled at the childish guardian who was taking photos with her cellphone.

"Yaya! I'll give you 20 pounds of candy for a copy of those pictures!" I declared. Yaya looked at me with a little drool coming out of her mouth.

Kukai took away her cellphone. I tried grabbing for it. "Kukai! Come on! You're no fun!"

"How would you feel if you were in a skirt!" he yelled as he tackled me to the floor.

"I'm already in one!"

"You're not a boy!" he yelled. I gasped and paused fighting back.

"You sexist person…" I mumbled and then struggled again. "I'll do whatever you want if you give me a picture!"

Kukai stopped struggling, smirked, and pinned me on the floor with my arms above my head. He neared my face. "Anything, eh? Even if it's a kiss?"

I blushed deep red and tried wiggling out of his grasp. "Gah! Kukai! When did you start being perverted!?"

When he let go of me, I scrambled toward the new boy and hid behind him. Kukai smiled in victory and got up. He deleted the pictures and handed Yaya's cellphone back.

When he took a step forward, I moved the kid I hid behind a little, using him to block Kukai. "Ano…" he mumbled.

"Oh right! I'm Haruko. And you are?" I questioned quickly.

"Fujisaki, Nagehiko?" he said. Kukai took another step. Again, I moved Nagehiko.

"Neh? Why are you scared now Haruko?" Kukai teased with a smirk. My blush darkened.

"That's it!" I said and pushed Nagehiko away. I stepped in front of Kukai, who now looked confused. "You know what?" I asked him.

"What?" he said. I looked at Amu, who stared at me confusingly. I ran to her, shoved her to Tadase, and swiftly ran to the door.

I turned back and waved. "Bye!" I yelled and ran out. I took a few seconds for everyone to process what just happened. Kukai blinked and went after me, leaving everyone in bewilderment.

"Does that mean Yaya's not getting her candy?" Yaya sadly asked. Everyone snapped out and sweatdropped.


I continued running, passing people who were walking by. I still had my red face. I swear. Something's wrong with me lately. I've been blushing more than I usually do now because of Kukai… I've been acting shy and nervous too every time he smiles… it's so irritating!

When I stopped to rest at a park, someone tackled my from behind. We both fell on the grass. I turned around to see Kukai above me with a red face, probably from running. I blushed and looked to my side.

"Neh. Haru-chan. Why did you run from me?" he asked. His hands were at the sides of my shoulders. I took one small look at his face. He looked concerned, but also had a small pout. I looked to my side again.

"A-ah… I don't know…" I mumbled shyly. I put my hands to his chest and tried pushing him off. "Ku-kukai? Can you get off me?"

"Will you run away?" he asked me. I shook me head. He stood up and when I did too, I was about to make a run for it, but Kukai grabbed me. He pinned me to the tree that was near us this time. "You lied, Haruko. What's wrong with you lately?"

His forehead touched mine, and I averted my gaze. "I-I told you. I don't know…"

"Is it because of the kiss thing back at the garden?" he asked and put his head on my shoulder. "If so, I'm sorry…"

I shook my head. "No. I don't think it's that. Well maybe…"

He looked up. "Then what is it?"

I looked back at his eyes. I still blushed at how it shined in the light. I looked away. "Neh… Haruko…? Is it…is it possible that you like me…?" he asked quietly.

My eyes widened. "What?"

"Well, you've seem to be more shyer now. And well, it just seems like it. Do you?" he asked, longing for an answer.

"Wait. No. I can't. You're my friend…" I spoke softly. Kukai grabbed my chin.

"That doesn't mean we can't be something more." He mumbled and leaned in. My eyes widened, my blush darkened. I found myself leaning in also when a hand went in between our faces.

"Neh. Soccer boy. You shouldn't do that if I were you. That would make me really angry if you really kissed my Birdy-chan."

Our eyes widened and looked to where the voice was coming from. Ikuto was standing right beside us. We both jumped back. "I-ikuto! What are you doing here?!" Kukai yelled.

"I was sleeping on a tree branch and just happened to wake up seeing you guys about to make out. Birdy-chan's too good to kiss a guy like you." He walked over to me and hugged me. Kukai glared.

"Then what guy's good for her?" he asked.

"A guy like me." Ikuto said with a smirk and held my face.

"Say wha-" I was cut off by Ikuto locking lips with me. His eyes closed, enjoying the kiss. Everyone's eyes widened.


Shadow: MWAHAHAAHAHA!!! Haruko just got her first kiss from a perverted kitty man cosplay!

Chouko: You're already on the kissing thing?

Shadow: Ack! You're here too now?

Chouko: Yes…

Shadow: -sigh- might as well introduce you. Minna. This is Chouko, from my Death Note story. The first chapter should be out already for it. This may be the reason why Broken Wings may have slower updates, or vice versa…

Haruko: -busts the door open- SHADOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone: Holy shi-

Shadow: ^^; well I better get going. Everyone! I hope I will still be alive for the next chapter. See you! –running to the door while dodging sharp pointy stuff- GAH!!!
