Chapter 1:

"You won't be Home Anyway"

Kaname felt sick when she woke up. She just lied down in her bed for 10 min. or maybe less. She didn't want to go to school knowing Sousuke won't be there.

"Sousuke… Why aren't you ever home?"

She sat up. Weirdly, she gave a gentle giggle then a vein showed up in her forehead.

(You know in anime… when someone gets angry)

"SEE IF I CARE!"

She threw a pillow out of her window.

"Watch it!"

Oh, but she does care. She's been jealous of Tessa. She has always been. Well, at least ever since she saw that picture of Tessa and Sousuke in Tuatha de Danaan.

Kaname finally got up, took a quick shower, dressed up and headed for school. As she walked towards Jindai High, she kept thinking what crzy thing Sousuke might be doing.

(Why don't we go see!)

"Hey! Why do I have to clean Arbalest?" Sousuke complained with a sponge in his hand.

"It's practically yours anyway." Kurz answered.

"I saved you a lot of times…"

"Well there you have it. You messed it up!" Melissa snapped as she entered the room.

Sousuke gave up and continued cleaning.

(Back to Kaname)

Kaname had a totally different idea of what sousuke was doing.

"Kana-chan" It was Kyoko.

"Hi…"

Kyoko finally caught up with Kaname.

"What happened? You aren't in one of your best moods today" Kyoko asked.

"Naaah! It's just a little cold."

"Whatever you say, Kana-chan!"

Kaname and Kyoko hurriedly went to class.

As Kyoko went in, she sent out a loud:

"Ohio!"

But Kaname stayed quiet and stood still beside the door, staring at Sousuke's seat, when another friend.

"Kaname, what's wrong?" Mizuki asked.

"Huh?"

"It's written all over you face!"

"I'm okay…"

Mizuki just smiled and went back to her seat. Meanwhile, Kaname glanced at her newly bought watch, sighed, then wen to her seat.

"Good morning, class."

It was the teacher.

Hour after hour, Kaname wished she hadn't come to school.

Krrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

Recess!

Kaname didn't eat her regular pork bun. Instead she went up to the rooftop.

"Sagara… Sousuke Sagara…"

When Kaname got home, she jumped to her bed and buried her face in her pillow.

Meanwhile, in de Danaan…

"You may go home."

"Thank you, Commander Kalinin."

With that, Sousuke hurriedly went to his ride home.

Back home, Sousuke wanted to walk some more. He passed through a flower shop, an ice cream parlor then Kaname's condominium. He wanted to go in, but the lights in her room were off, so he just headed home.
