The next day it was a rainy day….but when Kahoko came out of her house, she came out without her umbrella as at that time the sky was clear and as usual she was in a hurry. However as she covered some distance it started too drizzle and all of a sudden it started to rain heavily….Poor Kahoko…..Well not as much poor as you may think…

Len was sitting inside his car as it drove past the houses and shops….it was a bit difficult to see through the wet glass yet his eyes managed to catch a glimpse of a wet red haired person…Kahoko….Len's heart skipped a beat for no reason as he might think….

HE said, "Stop the car…"

He got out and took out his coat , went over to the standing Kahoko and covered her wet body with his coat.

Kahoko a bit shocked at the sudden warmth, looked at her benefactor and murmured,"Thank you….."

Len guided her to the car and got in from the other side. He said," Please direct the car back home. I intend not to go to school today….."

Kahoko said,"Len, what happened? Why are we not going to school today…."

Before Kahoko could say anything, Len motioned her to stay qiuet…..

'I and your father will be out of town for a while now , Len. You are old enough so I suppose you could take care of yourself now, isn't it?".

"Yes mom…"

In the car, Len thought,'Thank God she's away…or else she may have created a mess of taking Kahoko home…".

When they reached Len's house, Kahoko stepped out and went inside with Len unsure of his intentions but she knew only one thing that whatever his intentions would be they would be pure. After moving inside, Len glance over Kahoko and noticed that she was soaking wet and that her clothes were clinging to her body in a pretty indescent way. Len putting aside his thoughts guided her to the guest room and said,"The reason I brought you home was that you simply cant go to school in that way. Isnt it?" 'or maybe I wouldn't let the other guys stare at you in these clothes'," So you probably should change your clothes…or else you will get a fever".

Kahoko blushed at his thought about caring her, she said,"But Len I don't have any clothes".

He then notices that she was shaking , because she was cold, he said," you go inside the bathroom and in the mean time I will keep the clothes in the room. Fine?".

Kahoko nodded and thought,'he's so caring….'.

Back in his parent's bedroom , Len searched carefully not to place anything out of order, which may lead to his mother to doubt him. He took out a satin strapped dress which had a little flower on the left strap and he thought,' I think she will look good in this one'. Realising what he thought he gave a jerk to his head and his hand came out to cover his nearly flushed cheeks, he said,"What are you thinking Len!".

He took the dress and headed towards the guest room. As soon as he put the dress on the bed, Kahoko came out….

WRAPPED in just a towel! When Len turned , he flushed soo hard that it seemed he will be sick….As for Kahoko her eyes turned out like footballs and she screamed,"Len!".

Len turned his head down as if doing soo he still cant get a glimpse of Kahoko's slender legs. As he was near the door with his back turned to Kahoko he said," My apologies, Kahoko….the dress is kept on the bed. I am in the living room."

Kahoko held her breath as Len went downstairs. She thought,'Wow , what a gentle man! '.

As she neared the bed, she took the soft dress in her hand and felt the silkness of the material. The warm blue complemented her complexion and the dress reminded her of Len's hair. They seemed soft too and she would once want to play with his hair. She nearly blushed at the thought of it.

Kahoko came out of the room and went downstairs, she saw Len seated comfortably near the fireplace in the living room. She joined him. Len was sitting there sipping coffee. He saw Kahoko and asked her,"What would you want coffee or hot chocolate?".

Kahoko said,"A hot chocolate would do….."

Len nodded and said,"I'll bring it immediately."

Kahoko smiled. She realized that Len had not yet insulted her or spoken to her rudely.

She got up and went to the kitchen where she saw Len make the hot chocolate. She stepped in and realized that Len's fingers were cut she raced towards him but in doing so, something sharp stung her feet so badly and the pain was soo much that she couldn't take it, she slipped and began to fall on her stomach, the words which left her were,' Len'.
