AN: And the first chapter is out! This is my first FanFiction, and I'm still experimenting on a couple of writing styles. Tell me what you think!

"Nagisa!" Kayano called as she stepped out of her house, when Nagisa just happened to walk pass.

"K-Kayano! What are you doing here?" He stammered, embarrassed that he had been caught red-handed passing by her house. His face was flushed red, much like a tomato, but Kayano didn't seem to mind.

"I live here dummy! Of course I'll be here. What about you?"

"I'm on the way to work." He deadpanned after he calmed down considerably. Her face immediately fell with disappointment, but Nagisa had already picked up on it before she could hide her emotions. He genuinely wanted to comfort her, but he had work to get to as well.

"Perhaps we could talk later? I should be free in the afternoon. I'll call you once I'm free. Don't worry." He said with a gentle smile, and Kayano perked up. Her eyes shone in the morning sun. Nagisa could almost be hypnotized by them if he wasn't in a rush.

"I'll see you then!" She called as she watched his retreating figure. 'I can't wait to talk to you again, Nagisa.'

She was free for the week. Her director had gone on a hiatus as he had a conference to get to in France and he let the crew take a break for a week. She was grateful for the time, and was going to make full use of it spending time with Nagisa, if possible. She walked around town, occasionally greeting people that recognized her with a smile and a 'good morning'. She walked by one of the stores that she and Nagisa frequented when they went home together. It was a modest pudding store, and often, Nagisa paid for both their puddings. The old lady that was the owner greeted her warmheartedly.

"Kayano! It's so nice to see you after a year. You have grown to be a beautiful lady, I must say. What would you like?"

"I want a caramel coated plum pudding."

"It will be served to you in a minute. So, where's your boyfriend?" The elderly woman inquired.

"My boyfriend?"

"The one with blue hair that was always with you."

"Oh! That's Nagisa. He's just a friend of mine. And he's at work."

"That's my bad, I only thought that because he paid every time."

'I wish.' Kayano thought bitterly. If only that dense boy would pay more attention to her. But with the things at hand, perhaps he didn't have any time to pay her that much attention. He was fully focused on his students after all.

She took her time with her pudding, savoring the flavor. She had always loved caramel and plum, and always ordered the same thing when she was with Nagisa. So much had changed since last year, except maybe for her sweet tooth. She smiled at that thought, wondering what Nagisa would say. By then, it was about noon and her phone rang. "Hello Kayano?"

"Hey Nagisa!"

"Where are you? I'm free now, I'll come to you."

"I'm at the pudding store where we used to hang out at."

"Oh okay! I'll meet you there. See you soon!" And he cut her off before she could say 'bye'.

Just after that phone call, a tall man stepped into the store. He wore a large tan trench coat and a cap over his head, and looked suspicious. But she paid him no mind, that is, until he whipped a gun out and fired it into the air. "Everyone on the ground now!" He yelled as the patrons screamed and dived for cover. Kayano calmly got onto the ground. It wouldn't help if she had panicked and screwed up while trying to escape. The man scanned the room and spotted her.

"Seems like I've got quite the catch here. What's your name, girl?"

"Kaede."

"Oh, the famous Kaede Kayano. Perhaps she's a screamer. This makes it all the more fun for me, a pretty actress with a pretty name." He mused as he grabbed her forcefully by her neck and hoisted her up. She remained still on the outside but her mind was in turmoil. She knew she couldn't overpower him. Not when she was unarmed. But she could only hope that Nagisa would hurry here.

'Nagisa, please do hurry. I need you!'
