DISCLAIMER: I do not own –man.

Author's note: OMG! I am so very sorry. I was kind of stressed before the Mid-Year Exams and during the exams, I was studying till midnight everyday so…yea…I didn't have the time… Forgive me? I will update two chapters today, by hook or by crook, so I think the story would be completed by today. Now for the story…

(Third person) ~DATE DATE~

KNOCK KNOCK

Kanda looked up from his meditating. It was a tiring day, mentally of course. He sighed. "Come in." he said, getting up from his position on the floor.(no pun intended)

Unsurprisingly. Leenalee was the one who came in.

"Ummm…Kanda…" she started.

"Hmm..?" Kanda knew what she was here for, and was trying to hide his nervousness.

"I…I thought about it and… I really like you too," She blushed at that but continued saying "so let's go to the circus tomorrow."

She looked up at Kanda through her thick lashes shyly, waiting for an answer. Kanda nodded like it was nothing, but in his heart he was feeling happy and relieved. When Leenalee turned to leave, seeming a bit disappointed with his reaction, Kanda called out to her. "Oyasumi."(1) He said it gently and softly, and it was obvious that he really meant it. Leenalee smiled happily, since she understood what he said. "Oyasumi nasai." She said and went out, closing the door behind her.

The next day…

The circus was crowded, filled with mostly children that were laughing and clapping at the acts displayed. Kanda enjoyed himself by looking at Leenalee's face, flushed with excitement. It show how Leenalee was really just a fragile little girl that wanted to have fun. Somehow, looking at her being happy made him happy too.

(TIME SKIP)

"Kanda, try this." Leenalee handed him a green can that had "Green Tea" written over it. "Che, I want my tea." He replied stubbornly. Leenalee pouted, thus with an exasperated sigh, he snatched the can from her and drank it all up…which he deeply regretted and showed it by spitting it all out. "NANI KOTO?" he raged, which caused Leenalee's annoyed look to turn into a confused one. "What's this?" he repeated in english. Leenalee poked him playfully and told him to 'get over it', which he did, after she kissed him under the night sky. Weeks passed and they got closer to each other.

But alas, the good days do not last, and so he realized something important.

He had only one petal left.
