Sana's seventeen now, and she's visiting NY city with Akito for summer break! This is story's third person view. and guess who they run into!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The bright lights of neon billboards and flashing screens highlighted people's figures with flashing colors. Especially two figures, a girl dragging a boy behind her. "Akito, Akito, look at that!" exclaimed Sana Kurata, the girl who had been running through the streets. And the unfortunate guy, Akito Hayama, her boyfriend came to stand next to her while rubbing his head. "Isn't it beautiful?" she cooed happily, while pointing at a necklace in a jewelry store window. It was a silver-chain necklace with a dark blue crystal star pendant. "I get the hint," Akito answered, his face still emotionless. But Sana saw the amusement in his eyes when she looked up at him, smiling. "I'll get it for you. You wait out here." "Okay," replied Sana happily, her eyes darting back to gaze at the other jewelry in the window.

As Akito entered the busy jewelry shop, a clerk quickly spotted him and came scuttling over. "Can I help you?" she asked sweetly. "That necklace, please," Akito replied curtly, pointing at the one Sana had just looked over. "Yes, right away, sir!" The American girl flipped her light yellow hair over her shoulder as she left to get it. "Dumb blonde," Akito muttered in Japanese. "Here you go!" The clerk handed the black velvet jewelry box to him, which he tucked in his pocket before handing her the money. "Oh yes, please wait," called the clerk as he turned to leave. "Can I have your phone number?" Akito stared in shock at the girl. Didn't she realize he was buying this for his girlfriend? "I already have a girlfriend," he said coldly at the young flirt, then turned on his heel and walked out, leaving the shocked girl standing there.

"Sana?" Akito called as he walked out. She wasn't there next to the window where he'd left her. He felt a tinge of panic before he heard a loud "OW!" in what was unmistakably Sana's voice. She is such an idiot sometimes, he thought to himself before hurrying down the street. Sana was sitting in on the sidewalk, rubbing her head. Across from her was another girl with mahogany hair, which she had apparently run into. A blonde-haired boy was helping the other girl up. "I'm sorry," Sana apologized to girl. "Sana!" She turned toward the sound of her name and saw Akito running towards her. "Are you okay?" he asked, helping her up. "Yeah, I'm fine," she answered. "Did you get it?" "Yeah." "Thank you." Sana smiled up at him. Though he had again resumed his emotionless expression, she could see the relief in his eyes. She laughed and pecked his cheek. The other girl that Sana had run into looked surprised at gesture, but she quickly smiled and said, "I'm sorry I ran into you! Are you okay? My name is Miki." She held out her hand to Sana and added, "Oh yeah, and this is my boyfriend, Yuu." When Sana looked puzzled at her words, Yuu whispered in her ear before she smiled again and repeated it all in Japanese. "My name is Sana Kurata," Sana said warmly. "It's no problem, I'm okay. This is my boyfriend, Akito Hayama." Miki studied his face before nudging Yuu and whispering in English, "Hey, that Hayama looks like you!" "I do not," Hayama mumbled. Miki looked surprised before understanding that he could speak English. "Akito, tell me what's going on!" Sana begged. When he either did not hear her or ignored her, she pulled out her mystical hammer and smacked him on the head. "Akito!" she yelled. Miki looked startled before she started laughing. "Sorry," she said Japanese, still giggling. "I didn't know you're boyfriend spoke English. Are you visiting?" she added. "Yeah," Sana said. "This is my first time in America." "Oh!" said Miki. "Why don't you come over to our apartment for dinner than?" "Oh, no," said Sana quickly. "You don't have to go to the trouble." "No, it's okay," interrupted Miki. "Think of it as repayment for running into you. Besides," she said, "We want you here! Your boyfriend looks so much like mine, I really want to be friends with you guys." "What are we, pets now?" grumbled Akito. Yuu gave a small smile as Sana yelled, "Akito! Don't be rude!" and smacked him again with her hammer.

An hour and a half later, Sana and Akito were sitting at a table in Miki's apartment, eating dinner and chatting. Or at least, Sana and Miki were chatting while Yuu and Akito remained silent. "So, what were you guys doing before we ran into you?" Miki asked, smiling and flicking glances between Sana and Akito. "We were shopping!" Sana replied happily. "You where, while you drag me around," muttered Akito in English under his breath. He saw Miki glance at him and hoped that she hadn't heard what he said. "What was that?" yelled Sana, her hammer poping out of nowhere to hit him again. Akito could have sworn he saw Miki wink at him. "Oh yeah, Sana," began Miki, winking again at Akito and diverting Sana's attention, "I saw your movie, Mansion of Water. It was really great! I saw with Yuu! Wasn't it great?" she said, nudging Yuu with her elbow. "It was okay," he mumbled. "Here, you can borrow this," Sana offered, holding her hammer out to Miki across the table. "Thanks," she replied, then took the hammer and promptly hit Yuu with it.

"Ow," he complained. And addressing Akito, he said, "Great, your girlfriend's contagious," only to be met promptly with a hammer from Miki and another from Sana. "I'm finished," Yuu announced. "I'm going to watch TV. You coming, Hayama?" "Okay, whatever," Akito answered. They dumped their plates in the sink and hurriedly walked through the hall, with an unfortunate Akito who was hit again by Sana's hammer, this time thrown. "How does she have such good aim?" he grumbled, rubbing the many sore spots on his head. "And where does she get the extra ones?"

Sana woke up first next morning, groggy and wondering where she was until she remembered last night's events. She sat up and stretched before glancing at the clock, which read 7:46. She gazed down at Akito who was still sleeping. She kissed him gently on the lips to wake him up. "Huh? What time is it?" Akito mumbled, sleep still in his eyes. "Time to wake up!" sang Sana. Tumbled out of bed and ran for the shower. "Remember? We promised to meet up with Miki and Yuu at 8:30, in the café near her apartment." Sana turned on the hot water and jumped into the spray, the cascading silver droplets refreshing her face and mind. She dressed and walked into the hotel room, smiling and said, "it's your turn now," before plugging in the hairdryer and turning it on. Akito only nodded and went into the bathroom. He came out 5 minutes later in a plain white t-shirt and black jeans, drying his golden hair in a towel. Sana was dressed in a plain light-green blouse with blue jeans. She apparently didn't notice him until she felt something cool wind itself around her neck. Looking down, she saw the silver necklace with the crystal star pendant she had pointed out the day before. She smiled up at Akito as he finished clasping the necklace. "Thank you," she said softly, thanking him with a kiss. He graced her one of his rare smiles before kissing her back.
