The silky petal of the Cherry Blossom landed on her delicate nose, and a giggle filled the air. He laughed along with the girl as he gently swept the petal off her nose. The girl's cheeks flushed a light pink as she looked at the boys captivating honey orbs. Their gazes met and locked, sweeping her out of reality on a tidal wave of emotion, like always. They both merely smiled and looked away. "I'm glad we finally have some time together" The boy said as he held the girls hand in his. "Mhm..." Was all the girl could answer. The two teenagers were currently sitting on a stone bench in Shun's dojo courtyard. They were both enjoying the light breeze of the summer, and the peaceful surroundings. The calm waterfall and the numerous cherry blossoms. "We can do this every day now, Shun" The girl mentioned as she starred into Shun's eyes once more. "Yes" Shun was now deciding whether he should tell her. He wanted to tell her for a couple of years now, ever since he met her. Everyone would always assume he liked her, but he would always deny it. But now, he finally is sure of his feelings. He loved her, he loved Alice. "Um, Alice?" Shun was nervous as a bunch of question came into mind. What is she doesn't love me back? What if she just laughs? I don't want to ruin our friendship... "Yes Shun?" Alice looked a bit concerned. She was so caring, it really surprised Shun. He took a deep breath and let it go. "Alice I-I...I love you!" He closed his eyes, waiting for her response. Alice just sat there, "I...Shun. I love you too" She smiled and scooted herself closer to Shun.

Shun's P.O.V.

"I...Shun. I love you too"

Did Alice really say that? She loved me...

As I opened my eyes, I was face to face with her and her beautiful smile.

"You do?" That was a stupid question, but she loved me...Oh how happy I am. If only I told her sooner. We could have been together.

Alice giggled once more and answered my stupid question "Of course I do, I wouldn't lie".

I don't know what came over me but I suddenly pulled her in for hug. I've never really hugged anybody except for my mother before she passed...I heard her sudden intake of breathe, as she herself wasn't expecting a hug from me. As I let go, she said something. Something that really left me bewildered, that left me thinking. "Do you promise to never leave me again?". This time she really did look concerned. "Of course, I will never leave you again. I will stay with you forever." She smiled once again, and we started to talk about what she did when I was gone to Neathia. I can't believe it, we're officially a couple. I loved her, and she loved me back.

With Dan, Jake, Courtney, Darren and Bruce...

"You must contact the rest of the brawlers now, we must be on our way" Courtney told Dan "Uh yeah, sure." Dan held out his red BakuMeter and punched in a couple of buttons. "Hey, Marucho..."

Dan told Marucho about their problem and Marucho quickly agreed to accompany them on the trip. He contacted Kato to go and pick up Dan and the rest of them to Marucho's mansion. As soon as they were on the jet, Dan took out his BakuMeter once again and called Shun. Not knowing that Shun made a clear promise to Alice, to never leave her again. "Hey man, I have a problem..."

With Shun and Alice...

Silence. Neither of them were talking. Both were sitting on the bench, in a somewhat hugging position, enjoying the sounds of nature. "Shun...?" They parted and were starring into each other's eyes again.

Shun's P.O.V.

"Shun...?" We parted and I couldn't help but stare into Alice's beautiful brown eyes. "Y-yes?", since when did I stutter? Ah, whenever I am with Alice. Don't get me wrong, I love her. But, just whenever I am near her, I get so nervous, like I would easily do or say something wrong and our relationship is over. She never said anything, but we were slowly moving closer. In a moment, both of our lips were centimetres apart. I could feel Alice's warm, sweet breath on my face. This is it, our first kiss. I'm going to do it, I'm going to kiss her! I am leaning in...I...!

*Ring!* *Ring!*

Both of us jumped, what the heck! Who would be stupid enough to call me at this time! Out of all the time in this day, the person called NOW! I was about to say sorry to Alice but she was looking the opposite way. Great, now she really is going to hate me. I looked at the screen of my BakuMeter. Ha, just as I thought. It was DAN calling me. Oh I'm going to beat him up! This better be good.

No One's P.O.V.

"What do you want." Shun said rather harshly.

"Shun! You okay? You don't sound too good! Anyways, we have a major problem! Three people who claim to be Cerosians came to ask us to help! There's these people called the..." Dan continued, not knowing that Shun was only half listening. He was thinking about Alice and his promise. 'What should I do?' Shun thought, 'I promised to stay on Earth will Alice forever. But how could I turn down helping somebody? Or more like a whole planet!' Shun was freaking out. Meanwhile, Alice was thinking about her own problems...

Alice's P.O.V.

How could Shun do this to me. He promised to never leave me, but as if he would say no to help a whole planet from attackers. I knew it was too good to be true. Nothing good ever happens to me. Maybe I should just leave, no need to hear him leave me. Again.

No One's P.O.V.

"So will you help? We really need you" Dan pleaded.

Shun though, and thought. He turned to Alice to ask her what he should do, but to his surprise, she wasn't there. "Alice..." He said to himself.

"Huh? Alice? Alice is with you? Well tell her I said hi!" ,

'Uh, Dan is so clueless sometimes' Shun thought. He looked around the courtyard to see if Alice was anywhere near. He spotted her near the entrance, she was on her way out.

"Alice!" Shun screamed.

Alice stopped walking and slightly turned her head. She smiled small, sad smile.

"You promised..."

And she walked out.

Shun's P.O.V.

How could I have been so foolish, so senseless, and so naive! I had Alice, but I let her go. I let her go because...Because of me.

"Dan. I'm coming."

"Dude finally! Okay, were coming to pick you up! Meet you at the front man, see you later!" Dan said thankful.

*Beep*

Shun hung up and just sat on the empty bench. He looked over and put his hand on where Alice sat before she left.

"I'm sorry" He whispered, and left to go prepare for his up coming trip.

Okay! So how'd you like the second chapter? Tell me what you think!
