5 CHOICES CHAPTER 10

..::WHAT HAVE I DONE!?::..

Written By: Reizu

Kahoko flushed deep red as Azuma spoke his next few words.

"Kahoko Hino, will you do me the pleasure of marrying me?" he asked in the most perfect tone anyone ever heard. "I promise to take care of you forever, and to be with you each step of the way."

"…Y-Yunoki-sempai!?" What am I going to do!? This is all too…sudden! I…I can't do this!

"Hino-san?" came another elegant and soothing voice.

"Sir! You aren't allowed in that area!!!!" A waiter came running in from the side.

Kahoko turned away from Azuma and saw a young man standing at the doorway. He was tall, with dark blond hair. He had the build of an athlete and his smile was gallant. He wore a black tuxedo and a silver tie. He glanced at the kneeling Azuma and frowned.

"K-Kaji-kun!?" Kahoko was in shock.

"Kahoko…" Azuma called out. He was still in the ground. "So will you?" he asked.

"…Yunoki-sempai…I don't think I'm ready for that type of commitment…" she said softly.

"I see…" Azuma said standing up. He instead placed the ring on her finger.

"Yunoki-sempai!" she said quickly. He closed in his face and they touched foreheads.

"I will wait for you forever…" he whispered. Kahoko…you've hurt me so… But still…I will wait for you…

Azuma bowed at the waiter/manager and left the restaurant. His driver quickly approached him.

"Wait for Hino." He said simply.

"But. What about you Young Master?" the driver asked.

"…I'll walk home." Azuma forced a smile. He stuffed his hands into the pockets of his white coat and began to walk. Huh…? It's snowing again? What unusual weather… Damn…I forgot to bring a jacket…

BACK IN THE RESTAURANT

"Aren't you a little to young to get married Hino-san?" Kaji asked quickly.

"I…I turned him down…" her voice was soft and shaky. "…Gomena Kaji-kun...but…could you leave me alone…" tears began to slide down her cheeks…Yunoki-sempai!

"Hino-san…" Kaji touched her shoulder. "Please don't cry."

"Get away from me…" she sobbed. Yunoki-sempai! NO!

"Hino…please…it isn't right for someone like you to be this way." He was now holding both her shoulders.

"Stop it!" she screamed. Kaji backed away and stared at Kahoko in shock.

"Gomenasai Hino-san!" he said, his face still in shock.

"Kaji-kun!" came a high pitched voice. "Let's go! Oba-san's waiting for us!" And from the side, a young girl with long blond locks came out. She had her hair curled and she wore a lavender dress. Kahoko recognized her as the young girl who bumped into her the other day. The day she saw Shimizu walking in the snow.

"Hino…please feel better." Kaji smiled. "I have to go. My cousin's calling me." He said. "Sayonara!" he bowed, and walked to his cousin.

Yunoki-sempai…Yunoki-sempai!

"?" The driver called. He escorted the crying Kahoko into the Limousine.

"Where's Yunoki-sempai?" She asked in between sobs.

"He…the young master that is…decided to walk home." The driver answered.

"…what?! In this weather?!" she gasped. And, just as if God wanted it to happen, Kahoko saw a young man in all white. He had collapsed into the ground and snow was piling on top of him. "Stop the car!" she ran down and found Azuma coughing.

"K-Kahoko?" he asked, he sounded very weak.

FLASHBACK

Kahoko was being confronted by the Yunoki Guards (the 3 girls).

"Azuma-sama is great!"
"Even though he has poor health, he excels in everything else!"

"He can't even join athletics…"

END OF FLASH BACK

Poor health…Yunoki-san! "YUNOKI-SEMPAI! Please! Stay strong! I'll call an ambulance!" Kahoko was panicking. She brought out her cell phone and dialed. She felt a cold hand caress her face.

"P-Perhaps…it is best…that I spend my last moments…with y-you…Kahoko…" he muttered weakly.

"Don't you go talking like that!" she ordered. "Hello!? I'm here on Kuraki street! I need an Ambulance! My friend! He needs an ambulance! Quickly!"

"Ka…Kahoko…I'm not going to die." He gave a weak smile. "But do me one…little favor…" he started coughing violently.

"Yunoki-sempai!"

"Call me…Azuma…I want to…hear your voice…please…" he said in between heavy breathing.

"Azuma! Azuma!" tears were streaming down Kahoko's cheeks. "Azuma! Stay with me!" She cried.

"There they are…" his pale white hand was shaking. He caught a tear that fell. "The tears…that are only for me…"

Kahoko grabbed his hand. She felt them. They were ice cold.

"So warm…" he smiled. Even in this condition, he looked gallant. Suddenly, they heard the siren. "This is…This is good…"

"There it is!" Kahoko cried out happily. "The ambulance!" She turned around and saw the blue and red lights approaching. "Azuma-san! There it is!" She turned back to see his face, his eyes were closed.

NO! NO!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

"YUNOKI-SEMPAI!" she screamed out.
