Chapter 7
Distances
*Inari's POV*
It has been a long week, it was finally Saturday. I went in to work and was asked to stay longer because we were expecting a new shipment of new uniforms. I was actually a little bit excited for it. I needed a new one since this one had gotten so worn and torn. I haven't actually met the guy who makes them but I've heard he is extremely handsome.
"Ms. Inari your friend Ms. Okami is here and she would like to see you." I heard my boss say while I was getting ready to step out of the back room.
"Sure, I will take my break now." I responded back to him and he just nodded. I finished up and walked up to the booth Maya was sitting in.
"Hey what's up? You're just in time I'm on break."
"That's great, so you will be coming tonight right? I can't believe I agreed to sing at the little restaurant. I am so nervous" she said and she squeezed her own hands.
"Don't be you will do fine." I reassured her. "What is there to be nervous about? You've done this before." I asked her.
"Yes... Years ago. Should I invite..." We both turned around and see Yuki walk in with a tall handsome man with long white hair and golden eyes.
"He looks like Yuki." I mumbled and I watched the guy with long white hair walk to my boss and Yuki walked over to us.
"Yuki who is that?" I asked him.
"My older brother" he sighed annoyed.
"Wait, he is the one who makes the uniforms for us?" I said and Yuki nodded and sat in the booth with us.
"Well I can so see the resemblance." I couldn't help but stare at him.
" I warn you not to give my brother too much attention. He's very quic-"
"Oh Yuki! Who are these beautiful young ladies? You're not cheating on poor Tohru are you?" Ayame asked him and Yuki hit him over the head.
"You know very well that Ms. Honda and the idiot are together." Yuki said. Ayame leaned over towards me and grabbed my hand and kissed the back of it.
" Nice to meet you I am Ayame Sohma. The one and only. Yuki is my baby brother." I looked over to Yuki he seemed annoyed.
"Alright Ina, I will get going now. I have rehearsal and soundcheck. I will see you later, and Yuki feel free to come if you can. You can keep Ina company." Amaya said as she got up and winked at me. She really just left me alone with two brothers!? One that I extremely liked.
"Um it's nice to meet you. I'm Inari Kasai."
"Oh my such a fitting name for a girl with such fiery hair. I've never seen hair so red before." Ayame said and he smiled at me.
"Is it natural?"
"Yes actually." I said.
"Hmm lovely. Yuki don't just stand there join us." Ayame said and looked over at Yuki.
"Ms. Kasai what was Ms. Okami talking about?" Yuki asked ignoring his brother
"Oh there is an open mic night at this dinner theatre near here and Amaya is going to be singing." I said to him.
"Oh my the theatre! It's been such a long time since I went." Ayame exclaimed and he got down on one knee and he grabbed my hand.
"Inari darling could I possibly join you tonight? It could be like a little date." Date!? I blushed red.
"Yes, a date. I have the perfect costume for it too." Ayame said to me while leaned over towards me but making sure to not touch me.
"I will go too if you don't mind Ms. Kasai" Yuki said.
"Great I will call Hari now he won't believe that Yuki has finally agreed to go out with his older brother." Ayama got up and pulled his phone out and was extremely happy.
"I guess we are all going now." I said and then I smiled and I got the post perfect idea in my head.
"Yuki can you call Shigure? I know it would just make Amayas night if he was there." He nodded at me.
"Great and your brother isn't serious about this being a date right? I don't know him." I said sheepishly.
"I am sure he means me being his date... You're fine Ms. Kasai. What time is the open mic?" Yuki asked as he pulled out his cellphone. I let out a sigh of relief.
"At 8 the doors open at 7:30." Yuki called Shigure and I could hear shigure over the phone we was excited for it. Amaya you will thank me later, I thought to myself.
"Well Yuki, I have to get back to work now. I will see you later." I said and got up and Ayame walked over to Yuki and I.
"Yuki, we should get going Hari is coming with us too. The Mabudachi Trio will get together at last." Ayame said and I swear there were sparkles flying all around him. He is nothing like Yuki.
*Yukis POV*
I followed my brother out to the car. He kept on rambling about that foolish trio name. I snuck a peek back into the window of the maid cafe and I caught Ms. Kasai working and tending to a customer. I felt Ayame arms around my shoulders
"That Yuki that look on your face when you look at Ms. Kasai is what I call Desire." He said then moved his hand to his chest.
"I will teach my little brother all about romance, Yuki please come to me if you have any questions about love and desire?" Ayame said and I ignored him and walked to the car. He really was an idiot. I got into the car and she looked up and she saw me and waved at me and she smiled that big smile that I had gotten used to seeing. I smiled back at her and waved at her.
"Oh dear brother you have it for her good don't you?"
"She is just a friend." I said and sighed. Ayame continued to drive and got to Shigure's house.
"Oh Yuki, you can't fool your big brother! When I was your age I had a girl that I would look at like that." Ayame said and I just ignored it again. The only reason I had agreed to come with him was to make sure that he wouldn't make Ms. Kasai uncomfortable. We both walking and Shigure was on the phone begging Harito to let him use of of his suits for tonight.
"Shigure the last time I let you borrow one it came back ruined." I heard Hatori say.
"Oh Hari please!" Shigure asked and I let out a sigh.
"Please Hari, don't be so cruel." Shigure said then Ayame got the phone from Shigure.
"Hari just let him use the suit I will make one for you." Ayame said but before he could finish Hatori had hung up the phone.
"You both are idiots." I muttered. I walked back to the house so I could get changed.
*Normal POV)
"My dear Shigure, you won't believe how beautiful the two ladies I saw today were. One Yuki has the hots for and the other will be singing." Ayame said and Shigure laughed.
"Yes Ms. Amaya is quite beautiful, that's why I need a suit." he said. Hatori arrived and handed Shigure a suit.
"Here, don't ruin it." Hatori said.
"Oh Hari thank you so much." Shigure exclaimed. Ayame had never seen him like this before. He had the same look to his eyes that Yuki had when he saw Inari.
"Hari I am so happy that you are coming, was Akito okay with you leaving?" Ayame asked and looked over to Hatori was lighting up a cigarette. He took a puff in and he let it out.
"He's not too happy about it but he allowed it." Hatori said and he looked off.
"I bet this theater will be filled with beautiful women, maybe you will find someone to have the hots for just like Shigure." Ayame said and Hatori shot Shigure a look.
"It seems you didn't listen to my warning."
"Hari, it's nothing... She is just my editor. I would like to watch her perform. She already puts up with me, it's the least I can do" Shigure said with an innocent smile on his face.
"That's how it starts Shigure. I do hope that Yuki at least followed my instructions." Hatori said as he took another puff of his cigarette.
*Yuki's POV*.
I was on my way down stairs when I heard Hatori talk about Akito and the warning about staying away from Inari. I came down the steps and they were all ready except for Shigure. "Shigure it's almost time to go." I said to him
"Just a minute Yuki perfection does take a little time you know!" I rolled my eyes at his response and I sat down and read the book Ms. Kasai had gotten for me. It was a really interesting book and I was half way through.
"Alright I am all done, shall we go." Shigure said.
"We've been waiting for you." Hatori said and I put the book away in my room. We all got in the car Hatori was driving us.
"So Yuki, I've noticed you've barely put that book down since you got it from Inari." Shigure said with a raised eyebrow and I saw Hatori sneak a glance at me.
"Well it's a good book. Why else?" I said and I was getting annoyed.
"What book is it?" Hatori asked
" the Great Gatsby" I answered.
"Oh I've read that one. It really good. Much better than Shigure novels." Hatori said teasing Shigure.
"Oh Hari why are you so cruel?" Shigure complained.
"Don't make me tell your editor about everything I know about you Shigure." Hatori threatened and then I drowned them out for the rest of the ride as we pulled up to the dinner theatre. Ms. Kasai was standing outside. She had changed. Her hair was down in her normal curls. She was wearing a white skirt down to her knees and brown cowgirl boots and a floral top and a jean jacket. She looked and she saw me and she smiled. She looked great.
"Glad you're all here, she is about to start. I went in and reserved seats for us. I got ourselves a booth with a great view of the stage." Inari said to us and we all followed her inside. Ayame jumped in front of Ms. Kasai and he grabbed her hand and kissed it again. I saw a blush come to her cheeks.
"My miss Inari you look so lovely tonight."
"Um I uh.." She stuttered. The lights in the place started to get dimmer and we could hear the piano and violin start to play and then a light shined on Ms. Okami. Her hair was down brushed off to the side and she wore a long black dress that was skin tight.
"Oh my Shigure, she looks breathtaking." Ayame said.
"I told her people would love that dress." Ms. Kasai added. We watched as she opened her mouth and started to sing
'My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart'
"I got goosebumps" Ayame said and I looked around and Shigure was watching Ms. Okami's every move. Her voice was very smooth and sultry. Even Hatori seemed to be enjoying her performance.
"Isn't she great? I'm so glad she decided to do it!" Ms. Kasai gushed.
'But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me'
She sang and looked directly at our table and Shigure blushed.
"Ms. Kasai do you sing?" I asked
"For fun nothing like how Maya can. I prefer to write." She said and she smiled. The song came to an end and everyone started clapping for her. The lights we turned back on and Ms. Okami walked out of the . Kasai practically leapt over to her and I saw Ms. Okami whisper something in her ear and she was blushing and Ms. Kasai just started laughing. Ms. Okami followed Ms. Kasai to the table and she sat next to us.
"Amaya you were great wasn't she guys?" Ms. Kasai said I nodded.
"Oh she was just a splendid. I thought you were an angel up there." Ayame said.
"Thank you, and thank you all so much for coming. They want me to do another song, but I have some time to kill before I go up again." Amaya said as looked at everyone on the table she was blushing still.
"It was wonderful Amaya." Shigure said and he gave her a lilly that he had been hiding behind his blushed even more and grabbed the lily from his hand.
"Thank you Shigure."
*Inari's POV*
"Oh Amaya, I will go with you to the dressing room so you can get ready." I said looking to Amaya who was blushing as she held the lily Shigure gave her.
"Oh, no don't worry I will be quick." She said and got up and walked over to back of the stage. I looked around my table and Hatori didn't seem very happy with Shigure.
"So Ms. Inari, did the prescription I gave you help you at all?" Hatori asked me. I almost had forgotten about it.
"Yes thank you so much." I said and I bowed to him.
"Oh Hari you got to take care of this poor girl. Oh my whatever was wrong?" Ayame asked me.
"Um.."
"Stop asking personal questions." Yuki spat at him.
"Oh Yuki, don't be so cruel" Ayame cried and Hatori looked at Ayame.
"How has your show been doing Aaya?" Hatori asked Ayame and he stopped everything he was doing and focused on Hatori. I couldn't help but laugh at little at it.
"Oh it's been marvelous Hatori you simply must come and see all the pretty girls!" Ayame cried and I had to hold in my laughter. Yuki looked at me and smiled and I couldn't help but blush. He was blushing while he looked at me.
"Maybe another time Aaya..." Hatori said then turned around and looked over to Yuki.
"Yuki how's school going?"
"Oh it's going quite well." Yuki said. I can't believe I'm seeing him blush right now it's actually really so some reason as soon as Hatori asked him something Yuki posture changed as if he got tense.I got concerned.
"Yuki are you alright you seem a little tense." I asked him and I looked into his face.
"Yes, I am alright Ms. Kasai" he smiled but it seemed a bit forced. The lights started to dim again and I could see Amaya walking out to the stage and she was wearing a summer dress that she wore earlier at the cafe. She sat down and started to play the piano.
"Ooh I'm so excited! I love this song." I said as I started clapping. I saw Hatori shoot a glance to Yuki and I thought that was odd. Shigure was just staring at Amaya like she was the most beautiful person in the world.
'I stick with real things,
Usually facts and figures.
When information's in its place,
I minimize the guessing game.
Guess what?
I don't like guessing games.
Or when I feel things,
Before I know the feelings.
How am I supposed to operate?
If I'm just tossed around by fate?
Like on an unexpected date?'
She started to sing and I was swaying my body to the beat. I couldn't help but notice how Amaya glanced over to Shigure when she said date. They so have it for each other they can't even deny it. The song started to pick up and everyone seemed to be enjoying it
"he might sit too close.
Or call the waiter by his first name,
Or eat Oreos,
But eat the cookie before the cream?
But what scares me the most,
what scares me the most, Is what if when he sees me, what if he doesn't like it?
What if he runs the other way and I can't hide from it?
What happens then?
If when he knows me, he's only disappointed?
What if I give myself away, to only get it given back?
I couldn't live with that."
She kept on giving glances at Shigure and she started to blush and Hatori noticed it too. I started to sing along and Yuki looked at me. I blushed and looked away. It was a habit for me to just sing with her.I love hearing her sing. Shigure looked like he was in his own little word as he smiled at her.
'He could be colorblind.
How untrustworthy is that.
He could be less than kind.
Or even worse he could be very nice, have lovely eyes.
And make me laugh, come out of hiding.
What do I do with that?
Oh, God.
What if when he sees me,
I like him and he knows it?
What if he opens up a door,
And I can't close it?
What happens then?
If when he holds me,
My heart is set in motion,
I'm not prepared for that.
I'm scared of breaking open.
But still I can't help from hoping,
To find someone to talk to,
Who likes the way I am.
Someone who when he sees me,
Wants to again.'
Amaya finished singing and stood up and bowled and she looked very happy and her cheeks were red. The lights turned back and she walked to the back of the stage.
"I'm gonna go check on her." I said and I walked into the back where she was sitting. "Maya you were so good!"
"Thank You, how's everybody doing there?" She asked she said down and fixed her makeup and hair.
"Honestly it's a little tense around Yuki and Hatori." I said honestly.
"Really? Why do you think that?" She said as the turned about and faced me. "I am just about ready, can you believe the theater gave me this guitar."
"Yuki and Hatori just seem really irritated. I might ask Yuki again later but no that's insane!"
"I am sorry about that, I know I love it, well I am ready to out on the floor with you." She said and grabbed her bags and walked with me the table. She placed the bags in the side and sat down next to me and across from Shigure.
"Amaya you were amazing." Shigure said to her with a smile.
"Thank you, Shigure. Thank you all for coming." She said took a sip of the water sitting on the table.
"Ms. Amaya you were lovely, you sounded like an angel." Ayame said and grabbed Amayas hand. Maya was blushing. Shigure calmly took Ayames hand.
"Come now Ayame you're making the poor girl blush." He almost seemed jealous to me.
"Did you all have a good time?" Ms. Amaya asked while Hatori kept on watching Shigure's behavior towards Amaya.
"Yes it was wonderful Ms. Okami." Yuki said
"You sang beautifully Ms. Amaya" Hatori said but kept a serious face. "I am so exhausted." Amaya said.
"How's your ankle doing Ms. Amaya?" Hatori asked and Amaya looked over to him and smiled
"it's doing a lot better, Hatori. thank you so much for taking a look at it. how much do I owe you?" She asked him
"Nothing at all. Just stay okay so this idiot doesn't worry about you." He said as he poked Shigure in the forehead.
"Oh Hari you are so cruel." Shigure said. She smiled and blushed.
"Oh no Hatori, I have to repay you somehow."
"No Ms. Amaya it's not trouble at all." Hatori reassured her.
"Thank you." She said and bowed her head at him.
"Um I'm gonna go to the bar and get a drink. Yuki do you want to come with me? " I asked him. He seemed so uncomfortable and I was worried. He looked over to Hatori,
"yes I would love to get some drinking with little brother and you Inari" Ayame said and got up with us. Well there goes my chance at getting Yuki alone. Ayame grabbed my hand.
"Oh Inari let us go and get some lovely drinks. I hate to warn you but poor Hari is a lightweight so we must be careful."
"We should be getting back soon." Hatori said
"Oh after a few drinks Hari!" Shigure squealed and j quietly snuck away to go to the bar. We all got to the bar and we had a few drinks. Hatori just sat drinking coffee since he was the one driving and Amaya didnt drink at because because she had to drive too. Shigure decided to only have a drink and stay near Amaya, while Yuki Ayame and I enjoyed ourselves. Yuki still seemed a bit tense.
"Ina, I will go put this stuff in the car, don't over do it please." Amaya said as she turned around and Shigure offered to help her and Hatori quickly followed.
"Amaya let me give you a hand, you shouldn't put too much weight on your ankle." Shigure said as they walked away.
"Yuki wanna walk with me to the balcony? I hear it's a great view." I asked. I really wanted to know what was wrong and I couldn't do that with the others around.
"Sure, Ms. Kasai." We both walked over to the balcony while Ayame was enjoying his drink and watching another performance. I turned to face him.
"Are you sure you're alright? You've been acting really weird around your brother and Hatori. It's not like you." I said honestly. He stood up straight and looked a little sad.
"I am just a little tired, that's all." He said but I wasn't buying it. I stepped closer to him.
"Yuki, I know there's something bugging you, just tell me please?" I said
"I assure you Ms. Kasai it's nothing." I looked up at him.
"Yuki please tell me. I'm your friend aren't I? Please tell me" He let out a sigh and turned around facing the view over a park and we could see the moon.
"My brother always gets on my nerves, so I am sorry if that I bothering you. Growing up we were never close. I was sick often and alone..." He said and looked at me and there was a faint smile on his face.
"Well I'm here you're not now." I said and then I blushed.
"I'm sorry um that was stupid."
"That wasn't stupid at all Ms. Kasai. I just find it hard to act upon my emotions." he said and he took a step closer to me and his hand touched my cheek.
"I never feel alone when I am with you." He said and leaned in. I closed my eyes
"Yuki, it's time to go." Hatori's voice called out from behind us. I opened my eyes and Yuki looked nearly frightened.
"Ms. Inari, Amaya is waiting for you downstairs." I heard Hatori say to me.
"Oh um yeah." I blushed and I followed him down to find Maya.
"You wanna go home?" I asked her.
"Yes I am ready. I am exhausted and my ankle is starting to bother me." She said as we walked to the car.
"Is everything okay Ina, you look upset? " I looked back at Yuki and he smiled as he got in his car with the others.
"Yeah I'll tell you at home."
"Okay" she said as we got to the car and drove home.
*Amayas POV*
We got in the car and I looked at Ina.
"So what's wrong?" I asked her.
"I'm in trouble Maya. I really like Yuki and I just don't know what to do."
" I know what you... I like Shigure too, even though he drives me crazy I can't help but enjoy his company." I said and I drove down the road.
"So what's troubling you so much about Yuki besides the curse?"
"It just he seemed really down tonight and he said it was because of Ayame but I had a feeling it's something with Hatori too.." She said and she looked at the window
"Yes, Hatori seemed to be watching over Shigure tonight too. Something was definitely off about them tonight. Why do you think is that?" I asked her
"I don't know but I've never seen Yuki like that and I'm worried. But I don't want to bug him and ask him again."
"I am sorry, maybe he will tell you about it when he can." I said to her but I could tell she was really upset.
*Normal POV*
The Sohmas were on their way to Shigures from Amayas performance. The air around them except for Ayames usually happy attitude was tense and quiet
"Oh wasn't that performance just lovely." Ayame said and threw his arms around Yuki and Shigure nodded. Hatori was focused on driving. Shigure was sitting in the front seat with Hatori. Ayame and Yuki were in the back. Yuki swatted his brothers hand away. His mind on other things and he didn't want to be bothered. Shigure was unusually quiet as well as he stared out the window.
"Oh Yuki, you shouldn't be so mean to your big brother. I may just have to tell little Miss Inari on you." Ayame said with a defiant smile. Yuki glared at him.
"You will leave Ms. Kasai out of this." Yuki spat at his older brother and it caused Hatori to sneak a glance at Yuki using the rearview mirror.
"Oh Yuki, don't be so mean." Shigure said laughing trying to distracted Hatori.
"Oh now don't worry Shigure I can handle this." Ayame said and then he looked to his brother.
"Now Yuki, I think it's time now that you and I have that special talk. Especially if you hope to further your relationship with Miss Inari." Ayame winked. They finally arrived at Shigure's house. Yuki got out of the car and went to his room, while Shigure, Ayame and Hatori were downstairs talking. Yuki let out a sigh as he closed his bedroom door. He sat on his bed and he quickly realized he had a headache. He looked down at his cell phone and he saw he had a text message from Inari.
"Are you sure you are okay :-(" He smiled at the text message. He had come to realize she was always worried about people when they were down like when Amaya had gotten hurt.
"Yes I am alright Ms. Kasai. You needn't worry." He texted her back.
-meanwhile-
"You know it's so cute Yuki has a little girlfriend and so do you Shigure. It's about time really." Ayame said as he laughed. Hatori didn't look amused and there was a soft smile on Shigures face as Amayas face appeared in his mind.
"Aaya, Ms. amaya is nothing more than his editor right Shigure?" Hatori said and Shigure nodded agreeing with Hatori. Shigure wished it weren't true however. He had come to care about her but he was unsure to what extent and he let out a sigh.
"Yes, yes Hari... Indeed she is just my editor" shigure said and forced a smile. Ayame got up and went to the kitchen.
"Shigure it's obvious that you have feelings for Ms. Amaya. I won't tell Akito anything about it but just be careful." Hatori said and Shigure just started at him. Ayame returned to living room with some sake.
"I will go check in Yuki." Hatori said and walked over towards Yuki's room.
Hatori knocked on Yukis room.
"Come in." Yuki said. He was on the last few chapters on the book Inari had given him.
"Oh Hatori is something wrong?" Yuki asked.
"No, just wanted to check on you. Are you alright?" Hatori asked as he walked in Yuki's room and sat next to him.
"Yes my medicine has been working just fine." Yuki said quickly. His cell phone vibrated. It was another text from Inari and he smiled at the phone.
"Yuki... You like Ms. Inari, don't you?" Hatori asked Yuki and Yuki looked at Hatori while trying to hide his emotions.
"Look I am just trying to look out for you and Shigure. I don't to be the one to erase their memories once they find out the truth about us." Hatori said
"I'm aware." Yuki said defeated.
"I will not say a word to Akito. But I think it would be best if you and Shigure distance yourself from those two for awhile. You don't want to go through the pain I did." Hatori said and Yuki nodded. He knew all too well what he meant.
"Anyways, I just wanted to let you know that." Hatori said and started to walk towards the door.
"Hatori, thank you." Yuki said. Hatori turned around and walked into Yukis room.
"It seems we are on the same boat." Shigure said. Yuki looked down and he nodded.
"What should we do?" Shigure asked clueless on how to handle anything now. Yuki looked at the book Inari gave him and he let out a sad sigh.
"I suppose we need to distance ourselves from Ms. Kasai and Ms. Okami." Yuki said regrettably. Shigure looked down. He didn't like this but he knew Yuki was right. He knew the pain Hatori went through and the pain he was still going through and he let out a sad sigh of his own.
"I suppose you're right."
*Amayas POV a Few days later*
I woke up early this morning, I was about to call Shigure to set up a time for me to go pick up the manuscripts, lately it he has been acting strange and distant. I picked up my phone and called him.
"Good Morning, Shigure, how are you?" Amaya said
"Oh well hello Ms. Amaya. I am fine and yourself?" He asked me. He was still acting unusual. He started calling me Ms. Amaya again and he was being professional and well not like Shigure.
"I was wondering what time could I stop by to pick up the manuscripts?" I asked him
"Oh Ms. Amaya you don't needn't worry. I already dropped it off to Mitchan this morning." He said in an unusual tone.
"Oh... Alright." I said trying to hide my hurt feelings.
"Alright well I guess I won't see you for a while then. By the way I will be performing at another theater tonight if you and Hatori and Yuki would like to come, I can reserve seats." I said.
"Oh we won't be able to make it Ms. Amaya we have to go to the family's main house tonight." Shigure said his voice still held no emotion.
"Oh okay, have fun, Shigure." I said and I let sigh.
"Will do bye Ms. Amaya." He said and he hung up. I clicked the phone off and I stared at it for a little while. I felt like crying for some reason, I started to wonder to myself if I had said something to upset him. I walked out of my room and Ina was already gone
*Inaris POV*
I sat down at my desk. I was in a good mood. I entered into an essay contest and I had 2 weeks to enter in my essay. I couldn't wait to tell Yuki. I saw him walk in and I walked up to him.
"Yuki I have good news."
"That's Nice, Ms. Kasai, just give me a minute." Yuki said and he walked over to our professor.
He acted a little unusual. It may just be because it's early. I sat down at my desk and waited for Yuki. But he walked over and sat at a different desk. The class went on and as soon as it ended he was the first one to walk out and leave. I quickly grabbed my stuff and ran after him.
"Yuki wait for me!" I yelled. But he just kept on walking. I start to pick up my pace and catch up to him. I had to actually run and I stepped in front of him.
"Hello earth to Yuki. I called for you what's with you?" I asked.
"I am sorry Ms. Kasai I didn't hear you." He said with a straight face as I tried to catch my breath.
"Well jeez make a girl run damn." I kept breathing heavy.
"What happened this morning?" He looked a little confused.
"I was putting my class change request. I will be taking another class that was affecting my current schedule."
"Wait what class?" I asked confused.
"Creative writing and literature history." He said then looked at his watch.
"I have to go now, see you later Ms. Kasai."
"Wait but Yuki, so we don't have any classes together anymore?" I felt so..sad. I didn't like this feeling. My chest was even hurting. I felt my phone vibrate, I pulled it out and it was a text from Amaya. I looked up and Yuki was long gone and I just felt sad. I sat down on a bench and opened the text.
"Don't worry about the performance tonight i am not going to do it :-/, how's class going?"
"wait what why!?" I texted her back.
" not in the mood :-("
"I don't understand did something happen?"
" I am just upset, I meet you at the cafe after school. I will stop by my office then go to the cafe. Ttyl" said the text I received from her. I nodded and I sat there and let out a sigh. I went and told my professors I couldn't come because I didn't feel well. I didn't want to be at class today.
"Are you mad at me?" I texted Yuki. But there was no response, I left campus and went for a walk to kill time until it was time for me to go to work. I kept on checking my phone but there was nothing from Yuki.
*Shigures POV*
I got off the phone with Ms. Amaya. I felt empty and very unhappy. But this was something that needed to be done. I sat in my office staring at my computer screen, while writing the next upcoming chapters for my novels but I couldn't stop thinking about her. I knew this had to be done to keep her safe. I started to write an email to Mitchan putting in a request for a new this email was killing me.
I had grown very fond of Amaya and I very much enjoyed her. Her subtle blushes her beautiful singing voice. Everything about her made me happy and even now as I hit send on the email to Mitchan, I can't help but feel this deep regret and pain. It's something I've never felt or am accustomed to.I sent the email and I got up and went for a walk, I needed to clear my mind and I thought some fresh air might help me.
I walked all the way to the lake near my house and I sat there.I was surprised I hadn't seen the wolf in a while and it almost saddened me a bit. I only saw that wolf when I saw Amaya. Maybe this was a sign. I've never been one to believe in that stuff but maybe it's time for a change.I let out a deep sigh and breathed in deeply and closed my eyes. My thoughts became crowded with images of Amaya. I felt a tightness around my heart I opened my eyes and couldn't help but to wish to see her again.

I sat there by the window outside my next class. I felt my phone vibrate and I didn't have to check who it was. I knew it was Ms. Kasai but I couldn't answer her. I had left when I saw her saddened expression when I told her about my switching classes. I turned around and looked out the window trying to clear my head and I saw her sitting there on a bench outside. She kept looking at her phone and she looked so frustrated and upset. I saw her stand up and walk to her class and she came back quickly and sat back down. She still looked sad.
The time for my next class was approaching, I started to walk towards my class but kept my eyes stayed looking out the window watching her, she didn't move she just sat there. The sadness didn't suit her, I felt terrible for doing that to her, especially after the last few times that I spent with her. I couldn't even pay attention to my class. My thoughts just kept going back to her. I walked out of my class and she was gone. I don't know why I thought she would still be there but I had hoped she would've been.
I couldn't fight anymore I wanted to see her but she was gone. But I knew this needed to be done. I just hope she would forget me and I her. No matter how much it saddens me at the thought of forgetting her and her smile.
