Here's Chapter 6.
Tears of Happiness and Love
At the Kannagi's…
"Ayano!" shouted Yukari and Nanase in union.
"Let's go! We are gonna be late for school!" said Yukari with a big smile on her face.
"Yes! Coming!" shouted Ayano and she's kinda irritated at the big smile on Yukari's face. "What's with the smile?"
"Nothing! I'm just…um…never mind. Come on! I don't want to be late." replied Yukari
Ayano raised one eyebrow and said, "A-alright! Well then, let's walk now so that we will get there on time."
Ayano, Yukari, and Nanase walk together to go to school. Ayano is in the middle; Yukari is in the right of Ayano, and Nanase on her left.
'What should I do? Should I talk to him and say "Sorry"? But…but I'm not ready to face him. I want to say sorry but after that what will I say next? What will happen next? I really didn't mean to say those words. I don't 'hate' him. I'm just shocked when I found out that he was behind all those attacks; that he was the 'Mastermind'. I know he just did that just to get my attention but it was wrong. Does Kazuma really love me that much; that he did 'that'…for me? NO! NO! NO! He doesn't love me! He…he love Tsui Li and not me. But…NO! I don't love him. Aaaaahhhhhggggg! I'm having headache just to think about it! *sighed heavily* I don't know what…' thought Ayano but she snapped out of it when Yukari called her.
"Ayano! Are you listening to us?" asked Yukari while waving her one hand in front of Ayano's face to get her attention.
"Oh! Sorry! I'm just thinking of something. What are you guys talking about again?" replied Ayano and she laughed awkwardly.
"Okay! We are just talking about a cool hot spring. We really need it and we are planning to go this weekend. Right Nanase?" said Yukari and looked at Nanase and waiting for her response.
"Yes! That's right. The place is so big and very relaxing too. And you really need it. So…are you in?" said Nanase and blinked at Yukari.
"Um…I don't…"said Ayano who is apparently looking down at her shoes but was cut off.
"Come on Ayano! Pretty please! Please! Please!" begged Yukari and Nanase in union with puppy dog eyes.
"Hahahahaha! You guys are so funny with those eyes! But I cannot resist those eyes. Alright! I'll go…I guess. But I have to ask my father first. I just hope we don't have a mission on that day." said Ayano then sighed.
"Alright! I'm so excited! And don't worry, Ayano, you will not have a mission on that day." said Yukari in excitement and then smirked…an evil smirked.
At the school…
In history class where Ayano, Nanase and Yukari are sitting beside each other, the teacher is giving lecture in half an hour now.
"I'm bored" whispered Yukari to Nanase
"I know. I'm bored as well." replied Nanase to Yukari.
And then both of them looked at Ayano who is facing the window and in deep thinking.
'Should I say sorry to him? But I'm the victim here. I got hurt because of his actions but why do I feel guilty. But if I'm the one who will say sorry first he will think he can do it again or do some stupid things because I will say sorry first right after. Gggrrr! I hate this. Why did I even say that to him? *sighed heavily* I don't hate him. I actually lo…I lo… I cannot even say it to myself. Just to finish this all…I'll just say sorry to him right after school and that's fina…' thought Ayano but snapped out of it when a 'bang' on her table was heared.
"Ms. Kannagi! Are you even listening? I said answer my question on the board. Give me the answer, now!" shouted the teacher with one eyebrow was raised.
"S-sorry ma'am. Um…the answer is um…" said Ayano. 'Oh no! I don't know the answer. This is your fault Kazuma. If I'm not thinking about you too much I will know the answer.' thought Ayano. "The answer is…" said Ayano but was cut off by the bell. "Phew! That was close." *sweat dropped* murmured Ayano to herself.
"Okay, class! I will see you next meeting." said the teacher. And before the teacher leaves she gave Ayano a 'glare'.
"Save by the bell, huh?" said Yukari to Ayano while they are packing their things.
"I know!" said Ayano and then sighed.
"Are you okay, Ayano? You're spacing out often. What are you even thinking?" asked Nanase worriedly.
"Yeah Ayano?" asked Yukari worriedly.
"Sorry about that. It's nothing. Don't worry about it." Replied Ayano while scratching her back head. "hehehe" she laughed awkwardly. And after that conversation they headed to the cafeteria.
At the cafeteria…
"Are you okay, Ayano? You eat like there's no tomorrow. You're gonna get fat with that much amount of food." said Yukari.
"I'm fine! And I don't care if I get fat. Nobody will…" said Ayano but was cut off.
"Like you? Love you? Ayano you are beautiful and you are just saying to yourself that nobody will like or LOVE you. For heaven sake there are 2 men that like you. Well…the other ONE loves you. Just don't deny it." said Nanase.
"I'm about to say nobody will CARE. But I guess you are right. But I'm not saying the other ONE loves me. He just…just…aaahhhgggg! Let's stop this. Let's just eat! Okay?" said Ayano, and the three of them continue eating their lunch. After finishing their lunch they get up and went to their classroom.
"You guys go ahead. I'll just get something on my locker." said Ayano
"Okay!" said Nanase and Yukari in union and they went to their class.
At the locker…
"Ayano! Ayano!" shouted Kazuhiko while running towards Ayano and waving his hand.
Ayano looked at the guy and said, "Oh! Hi! Kazuhiko."
"Hi! Um…let's go out after school. I'll buy you ice cream and maybe we could eat dinner. Please!" begged Kazuhiko with puppy dog eyes.
'What should I do? I can't go out with him. Not right now. I have to see Kazuma and say sorry to him right after school. But I cannot resist those eyes. Aaaaahhhhhgggg! Why I cannot resist it? *sighed heavily* Well I guess…I can go out with him now and besides I always rejecting his offer these past few weeks. Hhhmmm… Sorry Kazuma, I'll just have to see you some other time.' thought Ayano. "Alright!" said Ayano then smiled.
"Yes! Okay! I'll wait for you at the gate of the school." replied Kazuhiko with happiness in his face. And after that, they went their separate ways.
After school…
Ayano, Nanase, and Yukari walk towards the gate of the school. When they reached the gate, Nanase and Yukari continue walking and then they stop when they noticed that Ayano stopped at the gate.
"Aren't you coming with us, Ayano? Come on let's go home!" said Yukari.
"Sorry guys. I'm going out with Kazuhiko today." said Ayano shyly.
"Okay…but…never mind." said Nanase worriedly. Then Nanase and Yukari continue walking and waving goodbye to Ayano.
After few minutes…
"Ayano!" shouted Kazuhiko. "I'm sorry I'm late. I just finished some school works." apologized Kazuhiko.
"It's alright!" said Ayano then smiled. "Let's go now, I want to eat!" demanded Ayano.
"Hahaha! Alright! First, Let's buy ice cream. I know you like it." stated Kazuhiko then he holds Ayano's hand and they walked.
Ayano blushed slightly. 'What is he doing? And why am I blushing?' thought Ayano.
At the ice cream stand…
"Here you go, Ayano." said Kazuhiko while giving the ice cream to Ayano.
"Wow! This looks delicious!" said Ayano. "Oh my! This is delicious! I never know that they have this in here."
"I'm glad you like it! It's just vanilla with strawberry dip and sprinkles and marshmallows. But I think they put something to make it that so delicious." said Kazuhiko. Then they start walking heading to the park.
"I never been in the park this past few weeks." said Ayano while sitting on the bench.
"Well, you're always with that 'GUY' and not with me. If you're with me I'm sure you'll have a good time and not always looked wasted and stressed." said Kazuhiko while looking at Ayano.
"Well…um…hehehe *laughed awkwardly* I'm sorry, Kazuhiko." said Ayano
"For what?" asked Kazuhiko looking confused.
"For rejecting your offers. I didn't mean to. It's just…I have important things to do." said Ayano
"With that 'GUY'? What are those 'important things' that you are doing with that 'GUY'?" asked Kazuhiko with one eyebrow raised.
"Um…it's…um…let's not talk about it. Okay?" said Ayano nervously *sweat dropped*. She doesn't know what to say. She couldn't tell Kazuhiko that she can summon fire and fighting monster with Kauma's help.
"Okay…if you say so." said Kazuhiko with a big smile.
They exchanged stories and laughters. They lost tract of time.
"Let's go! It's already 6pm and I'm guessing you're already…hungry?" asked Kazuhiko.
"Yeah! I'm really hungry!" said Ayano.
"Well, then…let's go my 'princess'!" said Kazuhiko and holding Ayano's hand.
'Kazuma.' thought Ayano.
At the restaurant…
"Wow! It's not a five star restaurant but the food are very delicious!" said Ayano to Kazuhiko.
"Agree!" said Kazuhiko.
Kazuhiko just looked at Ayano while she is eating. And then…
"What is it Kazuhiko? Is there something in my face?" asked Ayano.
"Oh! Um…no. I'm just looking at your beauty." replied Kazuhiko then smirked.
Ayano blushed a little and said, "Oh! Um…thanks…I guess."
"Um…Ayano?" said Kazuhiko.
"Yes?" replied Ayano.
"I was wondering…do you want to go the Amusement park this weekend?" asked Kazuhiko with hope in his eyes.
Ayano blinked twice and said, "Sorry! I can't."
Kazuhiko suddenly frowned and said, "Is it because of that 'GUY'? Are you two going somewhere important…again?"
Ayano waved her hands signaling 'no' and said, "No…its not that. Um…I already made plans with Nanase and Yukari. That's all." and then she smiled.
Kazuhiko smiled back and said, "Oh! Okay! Sorry!"
After a long conversation and laughters, Kazuhiko escorted Ayano at the Kannagi's. As they reached there destination Kazuhiko bend down and kiss her cheek…again! And of course…Ayano blushed.
"Goodnight!" said Kazuhiko.
"Yeah…Go-goodnight." said Ayano who still blushing while watching Kazuhiko leaves. And then she went inside and immediately went to her room. She changed her clothes into a PJ then she went to bed and fall asleep…fast. It's really a tiring day for her but she admits that she had fun on her date with Kazuhiko.
After 2 days…it's finally weekend
"Ayano wake up!" said Yukari while shaking Ayano to wake her. "Come on!" she tried it again.
"Alright! I'm awake now." said Ayano and rubbed her eyes.
"You didn't forget to ask permission to your father about our trip…didn't you?" asked Nanase.
"Don't worry I already did. I'm just surprised when father said 'Yes' immediately. I didn't even have a chance to finish my sentence. It's just odd. Oh…well. I'm going to take a shower now. Wait for me outside. Okay?" said Ayano and Yukari and Nanase just nodded as their response.
*Flashback:*
Ayano went to see his father to ask permission about her plans with Yukari and Nanase. Aayno knocked to the door and went inside.
"Um…father? Can I…" said Ayano but was cut off
"Yes, you may go and you can use one of the limo." said Ayano's father
"O-kay? Thanks you father." said Ayano and then went outside.
*End of Flashback*
The long wait for Ayano lasted as she shows up with one bag pack. And they rode on the limo (sponsored by Ayano's father). After 3 hours of rode trip, they finally made to their destination. The 3 of them immediately went inside and looked at everything. It's very huge. Ayano felt her stomach grumbling. She is very hungry after that long tour. They actually lost track of time; it's actually 6pm. They all eat at fancy looking restaurant (part of the hot spring). They all eat like there's no tomorrow since they didn't eat lunch. After that they all went to their rooms to change their clothes to more appropriate since they're going for a dip to the hot spring. Yukari and Nanase are sharing one room with 2 beds while Ayano got a huge room and the bed is so big. It can actually fit two people on that bed. Ayano actually complained about it because she wanted a room with 3 beds so that she could be together with Yukari and Nanase but the manager said that there are no more available rooms except those two rooms that they got now.
After changing they went for a dip to the hot spring.
"This is so relaxing" said Aayno while resting her head on a rock. "I'm glad that I came."
"See! We told you that you need it." said Yukari. 'I can't wait! Hihihihi!' thought Yukari.
The three of them just enjoy the hot water. And after that they went to bed. Ayano covered her body with a huge blanket and immediately fall asleep. The pillows are soft and the blanket is so warm so she also covered her head.
At Kazuma…
"Why did I even agree to this mission? Oh well, at least I just have to inspect and after that I'm out. Well…they are not going to pay me that big but I get a 1 night stay at their very expensive hot spring for free." said Kazuma while heading to the front desk. "One room please. The name is Kazuma Yagami." He said to the manager.
"Good evening, Mr. Yagami! Here is your key to your room, sir." said the manager with a big smile. "Just ask anything you need and we will make sure to give it."
Kazuma smiled back…well more of a smirked. And the he said, "Okay. Thanks. All I just need now is a goodnight sleep after that long trip. I don't want any disturbance. I'll inspect tomorrow after lunch." And after that he went to his room.
The room is dark. All the lights are closed. And the only light source is the moon near to the bed. He put his bag on the floor…tired of putting it on the cabinet. He took of his clothes and put only a boxer short. He immediately lied down on the bed and closed his eyes. He embraced the 'pillow' beside him.
'This pillow smells good. It's smells…lavender.' thought Kazuma and finally fall asleep. But is it really a pillow?
8:30 in the morning in the other room…
"Do you think it will work?" asked the blue haired girl.
"Yes! It will. Trust me." replied the yellow haired girl.
And they heard a scream on the other room.
"See! I told you it would work." said the yellow haired girl. The two of them went outside and peek on the other room of where they heard the scream.
Ayano's room…
Ayano feels hot and can't move. She removed the blanket on her head and opens her eyes slowly and then he saw a chest of a guy. She slowly looked at the guy and saw…
"Kazuma?" whispered Ayano and then her eyes widened and screamed, "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
Kazuma falls from the bed because of the shock. He hit his back very hard.
"Ow!" whined Kazuma while getting up. When he saw Ayano his eyes widened.
"YOU PE-PERVERT! WHY ARE YOU IN MY ROOM?" shouted Ayano and throws a pillow on Kazuma. And of course Kazuma just dodged it effortless.
"This is 'MY' room! What are you doing here anyway?" said Kazuma while his arms crossed. 'That's why it smells lavender.' thought Kazuma and then smirked.
"Well…I'm with Yukari and Nanase. What are 'You' doing here?" said Ayano while one eyebrow raised.
"That's explains. I have a mission here and they gave me a free stay here." said Kazuma.
"Oh! I am so gonna get them later!" said Ayano while getting out of bed and getting her towel and clothes then heads at the bathroom. "Don't even think about peeking or I'll kill you! Understand?" said Aayno.
"Don't worry." said Kazuma then smirked. Then he murmured, "I'll try not to."
"Did you say something?" asked Ayano
"No! Go use the bathroom, and after you I'll use it." replied Kazuma.
Kazuma open the door of the bathroom silently and carefully.
He smirked evilly and murmured, "She didn't even locked the door." And then he saw Ayano. She's taking of her PJ. Kazuma now can see her sexy and hot body. His face heats up...it turns red. She was about to take off her bra and her panty when she saw Kazuma peeking out. Her eyes widened and froze to her position but she suddenly frowned and turned red because of embarrassment and anger.
"KA-ZU-MA! YOU PERVERT! GET OUT! AND STAY OUT!" shouted Ayano as she closed the door…more of a slam.
Ayano's body flashes from Kazuma's green mind and his face heats up again. Then he smirked.
After all that and after Ayano used the bathroom, Kazuma turns to use it. He grabbed his towel and clothes and went inside the bathroom leaving Ayano sitting on the bed.
'Should I talk to him now? This is my chance so I won't let it slide. I'll just have to say it to his face. Yeah…that would be great. And then I won't feel guilty anymore and besides I don't really mean to say it to him.' thought Ayano. "That was a quick bath." said Ayano to Kazuma as Kazuma went outside the bathroom while drying his hair with his towel and comb it.
"Well…I'm quick." said Kazuma.
And there's an awkward silence. But Ayano broke the silence and clear her throat then said, "Kazuma? I need…to talk to you."
"What about?" asked Kazuma with a concern look in his face.
Ayano stood up from the bed as she face Kazuma and said, "I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry about what happen during our last mission. I didn't…I didn't mean to say 'those' to you. I'm just mad at what you did. I'm really sorry, Kazuma. I don't…I don't hate you. I hope you under…" but she was cut off.
Kazuma hugged her tight before she even finishes her sentence. Her eyes widened but then she slowly hugged him and buried her face against his chest and closed her eyes. A tear dropped and touched her cheek and wet Kazuma's shirt a bit.
"Thank you." whispered Kazuma to her ear while his eyes are closed and a tear dropped and touched his cheek and fell on the floor. Then he smiled.
Outside Ayno's room…
"Wow! You are right! It worked! I'm impressed." said the blue haired girl.
"Of course!" replied the yellow haired girl then smiled. And then those smile turns to a scared and nervous smile then she said, "But we are so dead meat after this beautiful moment. I'm sure Ayano going to shout and scream at us. Hehehehe*laughed nervously*"
