Chapter 6 The Death of Rukawa?

I felt like crying.

Oh my god. I'm sorry for everything.

"Rukawa, I'm sorry for the bad things I've done to you! You didn't even give me time to make up for all of it! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I sobbed.

"I'm not yet dead."

"Huh?" I asked.

I looked at him. He was with a puzzled look on his face.

"You're alive?" I asked.

"Of course I am. How will I die? Those hits were nothing." Rukawa said.

"You freak!!!! I hate you!!!" I slapped him.

"Ouch! What did you do that for?!? Awhile ago you were sobbing and asking for forgiveness and now you're slapping me! I don't understand you!" Rukawa cried.

I looked at the ground. Ayako was looking at me. Rukawa was looking into my eyes.

"I hate to admit it but, somehow, I care for you."

Rukawa sat up immediately and looked at me. "Are you sure? Are you really Rei Sanada?"

My eyes narrowed in vexation. I rolled my eyes, stood up and started to leave.

"But anyway. thanks,"

I looked back and saw Rukawa looking at me. Ayako was smiling.

I managed to smile too without even knowing why. "Thanks."

"You're cute when you smile, you know that?" he added.

I raised my eyebrow, rushed to him and kicked him. "You're serious but I still hate you and you're still an idiot!!!"

"Fine, I won't make any compliments anymore. tomboy!" he cried.

"Idiot!!!!!" I shouted with all my might.

I turned my back on him and started to leave. I could not hide the smile on my face anymore.
