I've known her all my life,so why can't I talk to her or look at her?I shouldn't have kissed Rio like that.When Ryoko had walked in I felt somewhat guilty.But why should I care!?I've never cared about the people I had to kill,so why do I feel so guilty.Guilty.That word had my name written all over it.Kousuke Asazuki.
It had started out as a calm fall day.I was walking to school with Rio as I usually did, and she told me that she had always loved me!I mean what was I supposed to do?Shove her away like the little person she was?I shouldn't say that.Rio can't help it that she's short.There it was again.Guilt.On with the story.So anways I leaned down there and gave her a little kiss on the lips.But then Ryoko had walked up.She just had a look on her face that made me feel,well, guilty.There I go again!Saying that word.But it's the only one I can think of that describes this feeling in my heart right now.So what am I supposed to do?Why am I here on this earth anyways?That's what we Blade Children asked ourselves everyday.Why?I know I don't love Rio and she knows I was just giving her a kiss to make her feel happy.I had told her that too but, Ryoko didn't know that.It's not like she cares about me!So why is she so mad? Surprisingly, she hadn't sprung a surprise lecture on why I should stop skipping school,or nag me about the bread she needs for her diet.She hasn't even punched me in a while.I pushed up my tinted glasses as I sat on a bench in the park,thinking about all this.Then,the track team began to run towards me.That meant Ryoko would be there!I couldn't face her yet!I leapt behind the bench."Kousuke?Why are you hiding behind a bench?"I heard a sweet voice gently ask me.That would be Ryoko.The school track star.I jumped up and put a hand behind my head."Oh nothing eh heh!I just um,dropped something!Ya,I dropped something."I said.She put her hands on her hips and sighed.Oh no!That was not a good sign!That was what she always did when she was going to give a lecture."Sooo,what'd you drop?"She asked with a smirk."A um a uh pen!I dropped a pen."I said quickly.She shook her head and went on running.I sat back down on the bench and sighed.After a while,I got up and went back home.As I was walking home,I looked up at the star filled sky.It reminded me of that crazy song Hiyono was always singing.How did that go again?Oh ya!Outside the window,kita kita kita ki.A shooting star stre-!BAM!I was knocked to the ground.I looked up to see Ryoko smirking."Idiot.Go buy me some bread.I'm hungry.What,were you in another daze?Now go buy me some bread!"She said angrily."Yes Ryoko."I answered glumly."I think I'll go with you."She said.When she grabbed my hand,I realized,who it was I cared for.As we walked into the store,I broke away from her and grabbed the bread and payed for it.I walked over to the park and sat on a rock under a tree and stared at the moon as Ryoko sat against the rock and ate her bread.When she was finished,she came up and sat next to me."Kousuke,Rio told me why you kissed her,I'm not mad anymore.I-I-I love you Kousuke!"She said and began to blush.I leaned down and kissed her on her her sweet and tender lips.When we broke apart,I smiled and said,"I realized,I've always loved you."She leaned up and kissed me again as the sun rose over the town and everyone in it,including me and my new girlfriend.
