CHAPTER 1 ~Takara~

He would go. Of course Kiyomine would go. To Kiyomine nothing was more important than Ayako. Takara sat and pondered this in his mind again. Takara started to wonder how many people were in Kiyomines life that were important; how many people would miss him if he were to go missing. Ayako of course would miss him and as much as Kiyomine loves to hate him so would Masaya. Masaya would probably get the entire police force involved if he had to. Kiyomine also had Reiichi and as much as he hated on him, Kiyomine has his Grandfather as well.

Takara felt a sting in his chest as the last thought rolled thru his mind: his grandmother. The last relative he had in Japan that was no longer here to comfort him. Takara's inept father somewhere under the beautiful African sky wouldn't know for weeks if something happened to Takara. No one could get in touch with him until his expeditions came to an end. Sometimes Takara couldn't even get in touch with him. He walked back toward the dorm and snow began to fall. "Ha, wonderful" Takara said aloud to himself. "Just what I needed to go with my thoughts: snow." The pain Takara felt in his chest burned, going to the dorms was supposed to help him feel better not worse.

He began to ponder this; when did he become such a weak kid? Only one thing, well one person came to mind: Kiyomine. At this exact moment Takara made a decision: he was leaving. He didn't know where or how but he was tired of being nobody to anybody. People claimed to like him but Takara felt they like his appearance more than him personally. These people would be sad at first but no one really cared. Their lives would go on and he would only be a memory to them. No one cared; not about him. The thought brought tears to his eyes. Takara was tired. Tired of crying. Tired of being left alone.

Kiyomine

Kiyomine sat with Ayako. Their house was quiet except for Ayako's laughter. "Another false alarm trick by that stupid Masaya" Kiyomine thought. "Whatever". Kiyomine decided he would stay the night at home and decided to call the dorm to tell Reiichi he was staying out tonight. Kiyomine knew he would have to tell Shorty he would see him tomorrow at school and tell him not to wait up for him. "Not like Shorty ever does what I tell him anyway" thought Kiyomine. As the phone rang for what seemed like forever, Kiyomine started to think about Shorty. He found himself doing this more and more recently.

Something about Shorty's last expression to him started to make him antsy. Reiichi would pick up the phone and Kiyomine would ask if Shorty had come back already. Reiichi would make some stupid joke and Shorty would be in their room, probably struggling with some Physics question. It had been more than 40 Minutes since they had parted and the dorm was only a 30 min trip by foot from where they where hanging out. Kiyomine started to feel his heart beat faster. He knew it was stupid. "What the hell I am getting worked up for?" he thought.

The phone rang. Reiichi picked up and Kiyomine told him, "I'm staying home. Do you know if Shorty returned yet?" Reiichi responded sarcasticly, much less to Kiyomine's amusement. "You know what? I'll tell Shorty myself" Kiyomine said. Reiichi said, "Could you hold on a second? Be right back." "I guess" Kiyomine responded. The irritating dorm waiting song rang in his ear over and over. Kiyomine waited patiently eager to hear from Shorty's voice himself. Something in Shorty's expression last he encountered him wasn't right. The music disappeared and Kiyomine heard a voice ask quietly, "Hello?" "Shorty!" Kiyomine yelled with anticipation. He was relieved now that it was Shorty on the phone.

Of course it was Shorty on the phone. What was he thinking? Shorty would never go back to his house or stay out late; not with all the hoodlums who always tried to pick him up. The thought momentarily infuriated Kiyomine. But before he could say anything, Shorty started talking. "Reiichi told me you were staying out Kiyomine. I won't wait up so don't worry about me." There it was. The pit in Kiyomine's stomach he felt earlier. Something was wrong but he couldn't figure it out ."Shorty you ok?" he asked. The question sounded forced and a bit cheesy so Kiyomine decided to throw in a little tease so he didn't sound suspicious. "You're not gonna cry cause you gotta sleep alone tonight, right?" There was a long silence. "Kiyomine, you stupid sister complex asshole" Takara screamed and hung up.

TAKARA

Takara was packing his last few shirts when there was a knock on the door. He slammed his suitcase closed and shoved it quickly under the bed. Reiichi was at the door and told him Kiyomine was on the dorm phone for him. Reiichi told Takara that Kiyomine was staying out at Ayako's house tonight and Takara felt a sharp uncomfortable pain in his chest, but smiled and laughed it off. Another Kiyomine and Ayako complex joke, he thought. Takara picked up the phone and that same harsh voice Takara had come to love shouted "Shorty". Takara answered in a quiet "hello" but Takara had already drifted back into his thoughts, "the voice he came to love?"

All at once his emotions came crashing down. He loved him. It was so clear to him it hurt. But what hurt next was the realization that Kiyomine would never see him that way; he would love Kiyomine forever by himself but he would never be Kiyomine's most treasured person. Takara snapped back to the call as Kiyomine seemed to be asking if everything was ok. "Everything okay over there?" Kiyomine asked. This made Takara break into a sudden sweat. Kiyomine always knew when something was wrong with remained silent. How would he end this call without him knowing?

But Kiyomine's next question would help with that little problem. "you're not gonna cry cause you gotta sleep alone tonight, right?" There was a long silence. Takara thought for a minute. There was only one way to make sure Kiyomine didn't come back to the dorms tonight and the words rolled of his tongue. Without leaving any doubts in Kiyomine's mind, Takara cleared his voice and said it as clear as he could "Kiyomine, you stupid sister complex asshole" and he hung up. Takara went back to his room and pulled his suitcase out once more. He threw the last of his belongings he needed in his suitcase and closed it.

Takara looked around the room one last time. He left all his books and other pointless stuff here, but that was all that would be left of Takara's life and presents in this dorm. He glanced once over at Kiyomine's side of the room and his eyes landed on Kiyomine's bed. How many nights did he spend not even sleeping in his own bed he thought? He walked over swiftly and sat down on Kiyomine's bed letting his head fall slowly to the pillow. Takara knew it was a bad idea immediately. The tears stung his eyes faster than he could close them. Knowing how he felt made his resolve to leave harder than he could imagine.

Takara started to realize the fact that the last memory Kiyomine would have of him would be there spat on the phone. Takara convinced himself that it was for the best. Kiyomine would probably come to hate him anyway. This just made it easier. He decided to lay in Kyiomine's bed until it was time to leave, enjoying every last scent he could. Everyone would be sleeping by 12:00 and he could sneak out after. It was 11:30 now. That gave him 30 minutes to say goodbye to everyone in his head. He was leaving he thought as once again tears stung his eyes. This was final. This was his goodbye.

~ The Next Day ~

KIYOMINE

"Damn Shorty" he thought. Kiyomine would tell him off harder today than he ever had. Not only was sleeping hard because his favorite pillow was not with him but he was so pissed about their last few words. Ayako's car came to a rolling stop at the entrance of the dorm. Kiyomine decided to come back to the dorm before classes and kick Shorty right outta bed. He hugged Ayako goodbye and stormed for the entrance. The minute he reached the door something was off to him. Takara's name plate and his name plate were gone. "Those damn assholes" Kiyomine thought to himself. He would hunt down whoever took them later and get their name plates back.

But a much worse feeling came as he opened the door. Everything and anything that belongs to Shorty was gone minus his books and school uniform. On his desk lay two notes: one addressed to the school as a resignation letter and the other to Kiyomine. Kiyomine ripped the letter open immediately. To his shock, the note only had one word "Goodbye". Kiyomine felt his knees buckle. He managed to keep himself standing and not fall. Kiyomine stood straight up and stormed to Reiichi's room. "This is a joke" he thought. A sick joke getting back at Kiyomine for their stupid spat they had on the phone.

"Takara probably went to see his beloved Okuno Senpai" he thought. The idea made him wild with anger. Shorty was his to tease, his to sleep with, his to argue with. Kiyomine approached the door and slammed on it. Reiichi opened it rather surprised to see Kiyomine back so early. "What's wrong" Reiichi said. "You know exactly why I'm here! Where is Shorty?" Kiyomine asked aggressively. Reiichi looked at him confused and glanced at Okuno who just shrugged. "He isn't here" Reiichi said. Upon hearing that, Kiyomine began to sweat. Where was he? Did he leave? Was Shorty... gone?
