The sound of the alarm clock rang after Takara woke up.

He felt something was around his waist and looked back, he saw Kiyomine sleeping peacefully.
Maybe He was feeling stressed, Takara felt that his facial expression was like some burden on his sholders were lifted.

Takara slowly and quietly removed his arm and went to the bathroom.
Today is Sunday so there is no school. He had nothing to do. He took out his phone and called his father.
`I wonder if he is okay.` While walking out of the dorm, he again felt some weird presence.
2 minutes have past and Kou, his father have not yet pick it up.

Takara then decided to go to his own house, checking if his father was at home.

When he arrived, he opened the front door.
Takara quickly realized something was wrong in the house. Nothing has changed but it felt like someone else's house.
`Well, I haven't been here for so long...I guess it made me feel to nostalgic.`
When he stepped in the house, "Dad! Are you in here? Hmm, maybe he is still at the hospital..."
Groooowwwwl~
"Man, I should eat something first...I'm getting hungry!" Takara decided to go to the restaurant where his childhood friend Mutsumi's family owns.

Takara locked the door and begin to walk to the restaurant.

Suddenly a man appeared in front of Takara. The man smirked and made Takara remember the man at the Canteen few days ago.

"Takara chan~ I finally able to find you. I been looking for you but you area always been guarded by that beast. What was his name again~? Whatever, I want you to accompany me a bit." Then man smiled widely giving a cold feeling down his spine. `What was that feeling?`
Takara got himself together and asked boldly. "Who are you? I don't know you. My parent said not to follow strangers and I can't listen to a person who call Kiyomine a beast...He looks like one but I don't like that." Takara stated with full of pride, positioning himself to get ready to run away in full speed.

"You know, I'm sorry for calling your friend like that. You see I wasn't in a good mood because I fought with someone I dearly loved and that person says he hates me." The man gave a sad expression.
Takara then felt a bit bad so he apologized for his rudeness...still feeling very...very unhappy. Takara thought, `He?`

"Just a bit is fine, I can treat you a extra large parfait and anything you want to eat. If it doesn't bother you will you?" The moment when the men said the word 「Parfait」and 「Anything」, he eyes were sparkling like a dog who found some interesting toy.
Although Takara felt suspicious at the man, he decided to go if its just a small talk at the cafe.
"Okay if its just a small talk then I can listen..."
"Thank You!~ Takara chan! By the way, my name is Akito. Just call me Aki." The man smiled and held Takara's hand.
In Takara's mind...`Akito? It sounds familiar...Where did I hear this?...Akito...`

Meanwhile...At the dorm

`Huh? Why do I feel so much space?...Where is Shorty?...`
"Shorty? Are you showering?" Kiyomine woke up 15 minutes after Takara left.
Kiyomine entered the bathroom which seemed quit. He glanced at the kitchen where the breakfast had been prepared by Takara.

After they moved to the dorm, they decided to take turn to cook. Then Kiyomine spotted a piece of paper under the plate which said:

To Kiyomine

I believe you woke up...I went to my house to check on my dad.
I'm not sure if he is in the house though, There is food there right? So, heat miso soup up and eat with the grilled fish and rice. I'm sorry for leaving you unnoticed.
You seemed very tired so rest more...before you DASH to the hospital to meet Ayako san.
Wear warm cloth if you are going out!

I'll call you when I find my dad...I believe he is at the hospital.

Ps. Don't forget to wash the plated when done!

Takara

...Groooowwwl

`Hungry...` After reading Takara's letter, he heated up the miso soup and the others and begin to eat.

When he finished eating, washed the dishes, changed in to warm cloth and went outside. Went on the taxi and to the hospital where Ayako was staying at.
When he arrived, he walked straight to the room.

Knock knock...

"Ayako? Can I come in?"

"Kiyomine, yes come in!" Her bright voice made him feel more relieved.

"You are not with Takara today? Thats very rare of you." With a smile she giggled.
"You know we aren't always together. He has stuff to do as well as myself." Kiyomine stated while he sighed.
"But you didn't want him to leave you right? You said to not to leave your side, never again." Ayako begin, giggle harder.

"That was long time ago!" Kiyomine growled like a dog. A little blush spread across his face.

Ayako was realizing that Kiyomine had feeling for Takara but he doesn't acknowledge it.

"Do you love Takara?" Ayako asked curiously.

"The only one I love is Akako only." With sulked face he turned and left.

After few minutes, Kou came in the room. "Did something happen? You seem to be in a good mood."
"Yes, my cute Kiyomine came in and I teased him a bit to make him realize his own feelings." Ayako smiled and kissed Kou gently, smiling each other. "I love you Ayako chan."

When Kiyomine left feeling a bit guilty?...
`!` "I forgot to ask her where Shorty is!" Kiyomine dashed quickly back to her room.
When he went in the room, he saw Kou and Ayako kissing... Kiyomine pushed Kou and Ayako apart.
"YOU STINKIN' GEEZER! DON'T YOU TOUCH HER! i HAVEN'T APPROVE YOU GUYS YET."
After few silence, Ayako spoke up.
"So Kiyomine, what did you come back here for? Did you forget something?"
"Oh yeah! Have you seen Shorty? He left early this morning to find this guy." Kiyomine pointed at Kou and glared.

With a surprise Kou spoke up. "Really? I haven't seen him today though...maybe he's at the house?"
"I don't think so because he said if he didn't see you in the house he would look for you...that's weird...he should probably guess you are here though." Kiyomine thought something was not right. Not right from the moment THAT man showed up in front of Takara.
"Tell me if you find him. I still haven't done talking to him about something important." With a sullen and a sad face Kou replied.
Ayako felt like Kou has been hiding from her.

Kiyomine then left leaving the two...even he didn't like it.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Ayako asked with a serious face.

"I'm sorry. I'm a bit scared to talk about this but..." KJou hesitated to talk but suddenly gentle hands cupped Kou's face.

"It's okay. I'm here, I will listen to you don't worry."
Ayako's words helped Kou and his feelings.
Kou then started his story...

Kiyomine on the otherhand was calling Shorty's phone for quite a while.
`Why isn't he picking it up? What is he doing?!` With a bit of impatience, Kiyomine was feeling that he needs to find Shorty or else he might lose something important.
...`Important?`

To be continued...

Kiyomine who starting to realize his own feeling and the danger that he is sensing.
Takara who is with a suspicious man...Who is Akito really?

I wished you like it...I believe...please review 3
