"It's already 5 o'clock, shouldn't you be going?" I looked at my watch and made a face. It would seem that Fana thought it was funny because she laughed at me. I stuck my tongue out at her and grabbed my bag. "You're going on a picnic again? In your special circle?" "I guess…if that's what you want to call it. Anything to get away from here." "Huh? What do you mean?" I patted her head and gave her a thumbs up. "It's nothing. Be good while I'm gone. If you need me, all you have to do is call and I'll be here before you can say pudding." Hugs, then I swat my parents away as I head out. Blue hair was the first thing I saw when I made it off the porch. "Yo!" Ugh…must he always be here when I go to my meetings? He slung an arm around my shoulders when I didn't greet him. "Want to talk about it?" "…not really. There's nothing to talk about really. I really don't care about it anymore. So, Akari, if you really want to pester me…today's not the day." He shook his head and made a 'tsk' noise. "Repeating a word. I know you like the back of my hand. Stop trying to fool me." I remained composed as if to not know what he meant. "What are you talking about? I'm fine." "Lia-ar! You expect me to believe that- Oh…okay so you want to try to play me huh? Well, I've known this crybaby guy practically since birth and he knows that I love him to death; but still insists on doing things on his own. Trying, but failing to hide his emotions from me. Why is that?" Scowling, I picked up the pace, not realizing that I had walked out in the middle of the street. "CAR!" I was pushed out of the way by Akari and the car sped by. "MORON!" Holding my upper arms, he shook me a little then hugged me. "I swear! I just hate it when you act so recklessly! I don't know what I would've done if you were hurt! I would've been reduced to a serious nutcase! Don't you dare scare me like that again!" I couldn't say word. I couldn't distinguish whether Akari loved me or was IN love with me. I didn't want to ask him though, seeming that my near death experience hurt him more than it did me. "Akari…" He looked me in the eyes and let go of my arms quickly like he had done something wrong. "I'm sorry about that, heheh. Let's just get going."

15 minutes of silence.

He hadn't spoken a word to me since he had yelled at me on the sidewalk next to where I was almost hit. I had reached my destination. For once, I wasn't angry. I tried to convince myself that I was truly angry at him at times but not truly. Not to my best friend in this entire world. I don't want to hurt him. "I'll be off then, see ya." I left, leaving the awkward Akari to just stand there as if he were waiting for me to come back. I met up in the park with my group like I always do on Mondays. "I'm glad you came on time Kuubi. Did something good happen to you today?" "Well…not exactly but a certain someone changed my plans of being mad. I'm feeling cooperative if you don't mind." "Glad to hear it! The others are waiting." This lady is always asking me questions and I get rather irritated by it but whatever. Her name is Kazuki Fudomine; my anger management sponsor. Every Monday I have to come here and discuss matters in a circle. Why a circle? Don't ask me. I can get along with these people, that's partly why I even WANT to attend. "Look who's here, calm as a kitten?" I raised my hand signaling acknowledgement to everyone who was there. "What's up guys?"
