Chapter 2
Saya jumped down the stairs her sailor uniform haphazardly thrown on her body. George her almost father stood behind the counter with her almost brother Riku. "Hey dad!" Saya called, coming to a halt in front of her chair at the table. She plobbed down and began to stuff food into her mouth.
Riku watched in amazement from the behind the counter, everyone was always amazed at how fast and how much food she could eat. "Done!" She called, slapping down her chopsticks. She jumped out of her chair and grabbed her bag hurriedly putting on her shoes as she ran out the door.
Kai was on his motorcycle obviously waiting for her. Saya watched as Kai leisurely waited for her to come out. She noticed he had a small smile on his face that made her heart want to melt. "K….Kai!" Saya called in an overly girly voice, while running up to him.
"Hey." He said, handing her a helmet. "Like always I didn't have to wait long." He said, grinning. "Hey!!!!" Saya yelled, grabbing the helmet, suddenly over conscious about how she ate. Kai chuckled to himself as he slid his bright red helmet on his head.
Saya grumbling slid in behind him, tentatively wrapping her arm around his waist. She put her check against his back as the Kai revved up the motorcycle.
She could hear is heart as they raced down the roads, and she willed her heart to match his, but all too soon they were at the school. The tall white washed building seemed to laugh at her red face as she slid to the ground.
"See you Saya." Kai called, before quickly driving leaving Saya with a hand half raised in a wave. "Jeez…." She mumbled pouting. She turned and began to drag herself toward the school.
"SAYA-CHAN!" An awesome force slammed into Saya. "Kaori how many times do I have to tell you I'm not that strong." Saya said half laughing half wincing in pain. "Yeah but I'm just so glad your back in school I was worried about you." Kaori said, turning so Saya could see her serious expression.
"Sorry Kaori." Saya said, turning her eyes to the floor so she didn't have to be greeted by the hurt that was in her friends eyes. "Yeah, anyway let's get to class." Kaori called running down the hallway with the exuberant of a horse. She winked just before the corner to show Saya she understood. Saya smiled, and called "Wait for me." With her long strong track legs she caught up with Kaori in no time, reducing them to giggling and laughter. Arm and arm they skipped into their classroom ready to start the long school day.
"Hey Kaori?" Saya asked as they were under their favorite oak tree in the back of the school. "Hmmm." Kaori replied staring up into the clear blue sky. "You know you're my best friend." Saya said turning so she could see Kaori's face. She gasped in shock as she saw Kaori's face wet with tears, and her body breaking loose a sob.
"Kaori what's wrong?" Saya asked leaning over Kaori so she wouldn't lie. "Saya-chan I'm sorry but I can't take this you went away for so long and I thought you were dead…*sob*….. I just can't do it." She flung herself past Saya and ran into the building leaving Saya confused and heartbroken.
