Hello everyone,

So this is a light S.A story. Focusing on Kei and mainly Hikari. Um... This is my first, please freely through any critique you have at me.

Disclaimer: I do now own the characters in this story!


"Hikari, can you come here?"

"Yes!" I bolted over to where my mother was; skidding to a stop I landed in front of her worried eyes.

"Hikari, Jiro hasn't been getting as much business as he usually is. Your farther would never say anything, but we want you to get a job. To start paying a little of your school fees"

"Of course! This is the perfect way to beat Takashima!" Mother sighed and left me.

"I'll show him, I can handle work and school!"

I retreated to my bedroom in search of a job.


Unfortunately, I was only able to nab a night time job. I worked from 12:00 in the night to 4:00 in the morning. Two hours of sleep may not sound like much, but I was content… for a few days.


My eyes were heavy as I trudged down the street looking more like a zombie than a girl ready for a date. I must put on a happy face for Takashima! Taking a deep breath in I painted a happy smile on my face and changed my trudging to a slow walk. The last thing I wanted was Takashima worrying for me. My parents were easy to convince, but Takashima was different. He wouldn't be so easy.

Walking into the open park, a cool breeze sent my scarf flying around my neck. Then I saw him, my boyfriend. The word still sent tingles down my back. His soft honey blond hair tossing in the gentle wind. His deep eyes met mine as he walked towards me. I was locked in his gaze. Pulling me into a tight hug he examined my face. I knew he was looking at the deep circles under my eyes.

"You're not getting enough sleep" Takashima observed plainly, touching my eyes.

Not wanting him to find out I lied, "Hm? I have, I-Its just I was trying on… some make-up and it didn't go… well." It wasn't the smoothest lie, but it was enough to shut him up.

Walking through the park, as the cool evening autumn breeze swept my hair up and tangled it. I felt I could no longer go on; my legs were giving out to my sleep.

"C-could we sit down for a bit please Takashima?" I asked, giving a deadly glare to my legs.

"Huh? Are you okay Hikari? Were almost there, would you like me to carry you?" His eyes showed nothing more than pure worry. I smiled, "Nope, that's fine."

Hanging onto his arm for support, we eventually reached the restaurant.

The carpets, walls and tables were a rich red.

We sat near the window giving a full view of the setting sun. It was relaxing and my eyes were soon closing. I ordered the first things my eyes lay on.

"Uh… Hikari, having milk then fish isn't very good, you'll get a tummy pain."

"Huh? Oh yea… Then I'll have…" weighing my options, I decided on noodles and fish, "I'll have Yakisoba and Oden" I watched the waitress scribble down notes on her pad.

I moved my eyes back to Takashima, who had a very disapproving look.

"Is that enough Hikari?" Takashima asked.

"Yea, I'm not very hungry" Well at least that wasn't a lie.

"And two miso soup's" Takashima ordered.

The waitress walked towards the kitchen, I smiled at Takashima, who still had the worried look on his face.

"Hikari, tell me really. What's wrong? Please tell me." He pleaded me, but I stuck my original plan; not telling him.

"I fine, really!" I insisted.

"Hikari, I know something's wrong. Your eyes have been closing for longer than usual an-"

"What is the normal time for a human to blink?" I challenged, my attempt at changing the subject wasn't successful as Takashima continued.

"And you have been unfocused… I'm worried"

I decided to give in, a little bit.

"Okay, I didn't sleep well last night"

"Bu-"

Saved by the bell, or saved by the waitress.

A different lady came walking towards our table, holding our food.

"Here's your Yakisoba and your Oden, oh and your Miso soup"

She turned to Takashima and placed the dishes in front of him, naming them as she placed them down.

I wasn't hungry, but not wanting to worry Takishima, I poked at my food.

Feeling his eyes on me, I quickly shoved an egg in my mouth from my Oden; that put Takashima to ease.

The taste of soy sauce filled my mouth, it watered for more. As I stuffed food in my face I realized I hadn't eaten since morning.

"Hungry now, are we?" Takashima questioned suspiciously.

I nodded and threw a smile at his slightly relieved face.
