You surveyed the chaos around you, looking for Kiku. He had been carried off by the waves, yet you were certain he was alive. He had to be. Following along with a rescuue team, you found broken treasure and dead bodies, but no Kiku. Wait! There, near an upturned car sticking out at an odd angle lay someone too far away to see clearly. Half buried in mud, they lay there almost dead. You run over to them, hoping that it's Kiku and he's alive. It is him, but he's hardly breathing. "Hey! One of you come over here, he's alive!" The people run over to you, and you watched them pick up Kiku on a stretcher, hope lighting their eyes, because if one person survived, maybe others had too. I didn't bother to tell him that he would most likely be the only survivor.

"_-san, you may go see Honda-san now." The woman in the hospital front said. You stood up and strained yourself from running past the doctor. As you enter the room, Kiku's eyes glance and meet yours. He is sitting on a hospital bed, but his breathing returned nearer to normal.
"_-chan, thank you for saving me."
"Kiku," You walk over to the bedside and hold his hand. "I had to help you, after the tsunami, I knew you'd be too weak to do anythin g." You lean in and whisper into his ear. "And I couldn't let anything happen to you." You kiss him, and his eyes smile at yours before he winces in pain.
"It'll take a long time to rebuild all the damaged houses." He gazes out the window, where the destruction looms on the horizon.
"Well, we'll fix it together." He smiles, and you smile back.
"_-chan, I love you." He whispers.
"I love you too."
