Originally this is my first short story, but after some late night thinking (insomnia) I decided to rewrite this story over again. I'm not sure it will be good, but I hope you enjoy it.

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Kamichama Karin (Though I wish I did, but really who doesn't)

Chapter 1: Karin's Wish

It was another quiet day in the Kujyou mansion, Saturday to be exact. The temperature was just below eighty degrees, the sun was shining brightly above the town. It was the beginning of spring, so all the many flowers were in bloom. Enchanting people who laid their eyes on them with a feeling of happiness and serenity. This feeling was everywhere…at least in most places.

Karin felt the sunlight shine, that had made it through the cracks of her closed curtains, on her face. She placed her hand above her face to shield her eyes from the brightness. She turned her head to the side and looked over at the small clock on her dresser…7:59? Her eyes were still heavy, so she decided to sleep in for a little while longer, or so she hoped.

"Karin, wake up! I swear women are deaf and lazy!" Kazune-Kun yelled as he banged on the door. Karin sat up quickly to the sudden noise outside her room. When she realized who it was that was disturbing her sleep she immediately jumped out of her bed and ran to her door. Out of nowhere the door swung open and hit Kazune-Kun in the face. Karin then came out with a satisfied look.

"Serves you right you sexist pig! It's Saturday, so I can sleep for as long as I want!" She then slammed the door closed and went for her closet. She stretched her arms up in the air and looked inside her closet. She decided to put on a spaghetti strapped white dress with pink lining on hem. The dress also had a 3 meter long pink ribbon that was tied around the back into a bow, the ends of the ribbon hanging down the dress. Since the weather seemed nice enough she also put on a simple pair of pink sandals. She headed for her mirror and decided to put on a little makeup. Since she didn't feel like putting her hair up she left it down, with only a small brooch holding two pieces of her hair back. She walked over to her window, pushed back the curtains, and swung it open. She was greeted with a cool breeze and the sound of the birds singing.

"Ah, today is so beautiful." She then closed her eyes and let the air twirl around with her hair. After having an impulse to yell at her for slamming the door on him he pushed the door open and walked inside. Karin was too preoccupied with her thoughts that she didn't notice his presence in the room or even the slight noise the door made as it hit the wall. Though he was at first shocked by her peaceful stance, he couldn't help but look at her. His eyes were gentle and loving towards her, but as he did this he could help but blush slightly. Karin felt someone's eyes on her, so she turned around to notice Kazune-Kun staring at her.

"Hi Kazune-Kun. Sorry about hitting you, I was in a bad mood." She clapped her hands in front of her face, as if to apologize.

"That's okay, but what are you doing?" he said as looked away. He wasn't about to let Karin see him blushing.

"Nothing really, I was just wondering how nice it would be to have wings and fly," she sighed, "Sorry...that was stupid to say." Karin's voice sounded so disappointed to him. That's when an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"Karin, could you meet me at 3 o'clock today in field near the house?"

"Sure, but why?" Karin eye him suspiciously.

Kazune-Kun put his finger in front of his mouth and said, "That's a secret." He slowly left the room and Karin in confusion.

"What could he be planning?" Karin thought, but then decided to go with it. The day was quiet, since she hadn't seem him all day after their conversation. Which made her even more curious as to what he was doing. To distract her self from the thought of the up coming event at three, she spent the day with Himeka. When she had told Himeka of what Kazune-Kun and she talked about, Himeka couldn't help but smile. Which led her to believe that maybe Himeka knew what was going on. But when she asked , Himeka only smiled and left the room. When the clock chimed at the stroke of three Karin ran out the door with excitement in her eyes.

Karin headed to the field to meet Kazune-Kun, but before she could see what was there someone covered her eyes with two hands."

"Who's there!?" asked Karin. She struggled from the persons grip, thinking it was some kidnapper or something.

"Don't worry it's me."

"Kazune-Kun! What are you doing!?" She said, still astonished that it was him.

"I told you it was a secret, so you can't see until I say you can." He whispered in her ears. It sent a chill down her spine and she begun to blush.

"But how am I suppose to get there without seeing where I'm going." Kazune-Kun let one hand go, but quickly covered her eyes with his right hand. He used his left hand to wrap it around Karin's waist.

"Just follow my lead." Karin felt a little uncomfortable, but even so she still couldn't help smiling. When they reached the field, Kazune-kun still didn't let go.

"We're here Karin," he then let out a small chuckle, "You're going to love this." He then let go of Karin's face. She set her sights on a something she so did not expect. It was an extravagant air balloon that had many unique colors.

"Oh my God, you did this Kazune-Kun!" She then jumped on Kazune-Kun and gave him a hug, causing him to blush heavily. Though he did manage to hide it from her. After she got off she put one finger against her chin.

"But…what's this for?" She asked, looking at the air balloon.

"Well, you said that you wanted to fly, but you got all sad when you said you couldn't. So I thought this might cheer you up." Karin looked at him with bewilderment. "Why would he, of all people, do that for me." She thought. Karin let her arm fall to her side and looked down.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Kazune-Kun asked as he tried to look at her face.

"I-I…," Karin face shot up and looked at Kazune-Kun. Her eyes were tearing up as she smiled happily at him. "I am so happy!" Karin jumped on him again, this time giving him a small peck on the cheek. Kazune-Kun turned a dark scarlet, so he hide his face by turning his face away from hers.

"It was nothing so lets get going, you lazy sloth." He coolly walked away and Karin was clenching her fists.

"That's the last time I ever say anything nice to you!" She said, but still had a smile on her face. She couldn't be any happier,. They both got on the gondola (wicker basket) and Kazune-Kun then secured the balloon.

"You…um know how to use it, right?" Karin asked nervously.

"Duh if I didn't we wouldn't be here." He said mockingly.

"Oh... okay." Karin said, but let the fact that he was making fun of her slide. Kazune-Kun then turned on the burner flame. Karin could feel herself lift above the ground, the basket moving from side to side as the wind pushed against them. Karin of course was afraid, so she closed her eyes and held on to his arm tightly. Kazune-Kun blushed, but decided to let her have her way.

"Karin there is nothing to be afraid of, I'm here." Kazune-Kun said in a reassuring way.

"Okay." She then opened her eyes and looked down on to the town. Currently they were flying over a near by lake, which was on the outskirts of the town. But she could see her school, home, and the forest surrounding it. To her this was so unbelievable that all she could do was gasp at its beauty. She had never in her life expected for this to happen to her, she was flying. Karin let go of his arm and lean over the rail of the gondola. She tuned around and gave Kazune-Kun a huge smile.

"This is so cool!" As she just stood there, a strong gust of wind hit the balloon. It rocked around so much the Karin could feel herself falling backwards.

"Huh!" Karin's body went tumbling over the rail. She held out her hand for him.

"KARIN!" He reached his hand for hers, catching it…barely.

"Hang on Karin!" He had been holding on to a rail, but in order for him to get a full grip on her he had to let go. So as he got both hands on hers the balloon tipped to the side so much that he felt as if he was going to fall too. Karin looked at his eyes, they were both desperate and scared.

"Kazune-Kun…let go!" She yelled at him.

"Are you crazy…you'll fall!" He yelled back. He was holding on as tight as he could, but she was still slipping.

"But you'll fall too!" She lessened her grip.

"NO!" He held on as much as he could.

"Kazune-Kun." She smiled as a tear fell down from one of her eyes. That was it, Karin lost her grip and was hurdling down to the ground.

"KARIN!!" He yelled. Karin saw how the balloon was becoming smaller by the second.

"Am I really going to die…he doesn't even know about how I feel," She thought as she felt her body falling fast, " God…please don't let me die yet." She held her hands in a prayer.
