When she opened her eyes she found herself staring into a beautiful, grassy field that was illuminated by the moon's shining, warm light. Warmth was coming from behind her as she looked down to find a pair of hands wrapped around her waist. Over to her right was Jun's sleeping head. The girl leaned back onto the boy and giggled. "He looks tired." A thought had hit her. What am I doing? Where am I? And why the heck am I lying on him?

"Mmm, Hikari, why are you being so loud?" He opened his eyes to find that the sky had become a dark, shade of black – very well blending with the surrounding forest life in the area. "What time is it?" His eyes filled with shock. "Crap! I said I'd get you home by dinner! Come on we have to go! Now!" he yelled, jumping up and pulling on the girl's arm.

"What? Jun?" she questioned, being dragged along rapidly by the boy. "For god's sake, Jun, wait!" she screamed – at the top of her lungs, leaving it raw – stopping the boy dead in his tracks.

"Hikari! What the – " He was on the ground, shocked at the sudden scream that came from the girl, clutching his ears – which wear still ringing in agony from the ear wrenching scream.

The girl's face was red from embarrassment and her eyes wide from shock. She wouldn't have thought, not even in one-hundred years, that she could ever scream that loud. "C-can we just go home?"

The boy looked stunned but then quickly recovered saying, Sure, just like we were going to."

"I'm sorry, I was just shocked I guess."

The blond chuckled. "It's fine, Hikari. Let's go."

Once again the shadow came and the large bird landed in front of them. This time, however, Hikari got on with no fuss at all.

This time the ride was all the way silent and, to them both, seemed to take a lot longer than the ride here. Once on the ride the silence was broken when Hikari had stared to complain it was taking longer and when Jun answered back that she was sleeping most of the way to the place.

When they had gotten home Jun went with Hikari to apologize to her mother for not having her back in time for dinner – their promised time.

"Hello, mom?" yelled Hikari, finding the house completely dark and deserted.

"Is she not home?" asked Jun, examining the staircase that led upstairs. Not a single light on and no sound. She was definitely not upstairs.

"Then is she at your house?"
"No, my mom's not home either. I think they might have gone somewhere together."

"Oh, is that so?"

"Yeah."

After that the conversation died out and the atmosphere became rather awkward.

"Well, I guess I had better go. See ya," said Jun.

"Yeah, night," replied Hikari, walking up the stairs.

"What? You're not going to come crying to me to spend the night anymore?"
"Jun! I'm not a kid anymore!" yelled the girl, turning around the glare at the boy. Her glare was cut off when she was face to face with the boy. Before she could say anything he had moved closer and kissed her forehead.

"I know. Sweet dreams, Hikari," he said, a smirk of triumph on his face.

"Jun! I hate, hate, hate you!" she screamed.

"I love you, my dear!" he yelled back, running out of the door.

"I hate you so much," she muttered, while falling on the stairs covering her blushing face.

As the boy walked home the wind whipped hardly at his face, leaving it stinging and red. A shadow – leaning against the wall by the door – made him stop. "Koki, is that you?"

The shadow moved around a little bit before coming out from the darkness. "Yeah, it's me."

"What do you need. You know I don't particularly like you very much right now."

The boy paused, taking a long breath before continuing, "Jun, we need to talk."
