Special A

Hikari was tired. Yesterday she avoided talking to Kei all day. She didn't want to tell him that she could not look at him anymore without thinking about what happened. It was about two days ago.

She and Iori were walking together after school ended. He won a bet and asked to talk alone for awhile against Takishima's wishes. While they were walking home, Iori took Hikari's hand and ran off with her to another path. After about an hour of running to a place Hikari didn't know she let go of his hand.

"What are you doing, Iori?! We passed my house a long time ago and held your grip of my hand so tight I couldn't let go!" she screamed at him. Iori laughed and then sighed.

"You're boyfriend was following us. I just wanted us to talk. Alone." he said. Hikari stepped back, realizing that she had seen Takishima's car around them. She looked around her and realized that they were on a beach. It was sunset, a beautiful one at that.

"It's beautiful," she said. Iori looked at her and blushed. He saw her long black hair glistening in the sunlight. He stepped closer to Hikari and grazed her hair. She looked at him confusingly.

"What are you doing, Iori? I thought you wanted to talk." she said while taking a step back. She looked down and then looked at Iori.

"I like you, Hikari. I've liked you ever since you helped me after I was sick. I saw your loving face and it has never left my mind since. I know your with Kei but I just wanted you to know. How do you feel about me?" he said. Hikari looked at him with tears and surprise in her eyes.

"What? Are you trying to conflict me into this weird position, Iori? I love Takishima. He loves me. I'm sorry." was all she said before she ran off, crying.
