As I entered the classroom that day I prayed she would be there

As I entered the classroom that day I prayed she would be there. I scanned the room and there she was in all her glory, the morning sun created a halo of light around her as she looked out the window. It was so good to see her back. She had been gone for almost a week after the angel attack, I don't know what I would have done if something had happened to her.

She had become the reason that I came to school every day. I would sit through the endless lectures on second impact, and deal with the my annoying class mates just to get a glimpse of those gorgeous crimson eyes, or maybe I would brush pass her in the halls and for that spilt second that our bodies would touch and I would be in heaven.

But the days I loved the most she would speak with that angelic voice of hers. A voice more beautiful then an opera ever written, it would be just above a whisper, but would command so much authority that the entire class would be enthralled. I would play the few words she spoke over and over in my mind for days.

I can't even remember when I started to fall for her; I guess it just kind of happened. I just started to notice her more and more and I slowly became enthralled with her. To tell you the truth she was the last person I ever thought I would fall for, but you can't chose who you fall in love with.

The three stooges snapped me out of my thoughts on that fait full day. They weren't talking to me but they were loud enough that every one heard them. Touji was teasing Shinji about something; I think it was about him and Asuka living together. I fell sorry for Shinji some times he seems like a really nice guy, and he is always putting up with Touji and Kenskue teasing. But it wasn't long before our instructor came in and we were subjected to another endless lecture.

The day slowly came to an end and as I was leaving it happened. I caught sight of a group of two boys following my love. Now normally I would have not been alarmed but these boys had a reputation for begin bullies and they lived by me so they had no reason to be following my love. I went after them to make sure they did not do any thing to my love.

I turned the corner and there she was, my love had been knocked down by one of the boys. She was not even looking at them while the leader of the group yelled something like she should be honored that he asked her out. I had had enough I yelled at them and ran to the side of my love. The boys quickly scattered when I made my presence known, as tough as they may seem even out the numbers and they're nothing but cowards. I knelt down to make sure my love was ok. There was quick flash of emotion in her eyes more then I had ever seen in her, it was a mix of sorrow that this had happened and relief that some one had. I could see the red mark on her check, I was infuriated, "He is going to get his." I thought to myself.

To this day I don't know why I did what I did, but I have no regrets. I gently lifted her head to look at me, and I kissed her. I remember as if it was yesterday, the sweet taste of her lips, the sent of her hair as the wind blew against her back, and the silky touch of her skin as I traced the line of jaw and cupped her sore check with my hand very lightly hoping to relive some of the pain. I was truly a dream come true.

Rei's eyes widened with shock as Hikari kissed her.

Authors notes—Well that was something different now wasn't it, I got this idea one night when I was I trying to think of something I had never seen. I want to know if any of you figured out who it was before the end.
