A/N: Alright, so this is the second last chapter for the fic since I have another one saved. Oh and sorry for not updating for a while, I have writer's block you see and exams. Well, hope you enjoy Ch.10 of Say My Name~ :)

Reaching you

The coal-haired girl ran up the stairs without catching a single breath. She doesn't even know where her feet brought her. There's just one thing on her mind.

Where are you, Kazehaya-kun…

She was reminded of the school broadcast and was headed to the staff room when she collided with someone and fell. She look up to find Ryu in his baseball uniform and a bat slung over his shoulder. He wasted no time in bending down and reaching out a hand.

"…Sorry, are you alright?"

"S-Sanada-kun! I-I'm fine, thank you."

She took his hand and got on her feet. Then as Sawako was about to left off again, she noticed Ryu looking at her with a questioning look. She had a feeling he was going to ask something and as the usually polite Kuronuma Sawako, she couldn't just leave him there even if she is in a hurry. After a few seconds of silence, she finally spoke hesitantly.

"Um…Is there anything you need Sanada-kun?"

Ryu was surprised as if thinking that she just read his mind. He scratched the back of his head.

"Hmm, I was thinking of asking you the same thing since you look so troubled…"

"E-Eh?"

Sawako thought for a moment, her head tilted to the side from thinking of anything she could ask him. Then an idea popped up in her mind.

That's right, if it's Sanada-kun, he may know where Kazehaya-kun is…

"A-Actually, I do have something to ask you!"

"Ok, go ahead." He simply said.

"Do you know where Kazehaya-kun is?"

He racked his brain for where Kazehaya might be. That is, until he was reminded of what just happened minutes ago.

"Ohh, I saw him heading towards the roof before…he might still be there by now."

"R-Really?" She beamed as hope filled her once again.

"Thank you, Sanada-kun!"

With that she ran towards her destination, the roof while Ryu smiled and headed to the baseball field. As she finally reached the door to the roof, she took in one long breath to prepare herself.

This time, I will clear the misunderstandings

Sawako opened the door, the wind blew past her coal-black hair and she could see the sun starting to set in a beautiful orange. But, that wasn't all that catches her attention, it was Kazehaya-kun sleeping against the railing. But her feet moved on its own and she was now standing right in front of him. She bend down, her face inches away from him and she made sure not to wake him up. He looked peaceful, as if all the problems they faced never happened at all. Sawako could feel her heart flutter with just being there, with the person she's always loved. Her mouth fell open and she whispered the what she'd held back all this time.

"Shou…ta.."

Somehow, she just felt she could say it now…

"Kuronuma…?"

"Huh?"

She looked up only to have her eyes meet with his and she was once again reminded of the distance between them. Sawako panicked, her face flushed with different shade of red.

"U…"

"Huh?" Kazehaya was now confused.

"Uwaaahh!"

The coal-haired girl moved back hastily, as if she'd just seen a ghost. Kazehaya could only sweat dropped as she hit the railing at the other end of the roof, unable to say anything.

"Y-You were awake?" she blurted out while holding the back of her head which hit the railings.

"Well, I heard someone calling me…"

Her face was becoming redder than ever. She panicked, not knowing what to say.

"I-I'm sorry!"

He was taken aback by her sudden apology. But she was determined to continue, thinking that she might as well say out what she intended to after finally having the chance to talk it out. She closed her eyes and clench her skirt.

"I'm sorry to wake you up and…and…I'm sorry if I did something to make you angry…"

Kazehaya's eyes went wide as he saw her tremble in place.

"Please don't hate me…."

She trailed off, hot tears now streaming down her cheeks. Sawako waited, for him to snap at her or anything like that but it never came. She could hear his footsteps coming closer and closer. Finally, he kneeled in front of her and pulled her to a hug.

W-What? But I-I-

She panicked, not knowing what to do.

"No, It's not your fault…and there's no way that I would ever hate you!"

"B-But you were…a-avoiding me you look hurt." Sawako fought the tears that threatened to fall but failed as she began to sob.

"I'm sorry, you did nothing wrong, really."

"It's true, I was a bit disappointed at first." He paused. "But after some time, I came to be angry at myself for acting so childishly. I…was the one who was scared of being hated by you."

Ah…so that's it.

The hands that wrapped around her became tighter.

Kazehaya-kun…I wonder…what kind of expression are you making now?...Are you feeling sad?

Sawako pulled apart and gaze at his face. He was blushing, and his eyes filled with mixed feelings…anxious, sad, fear, embarrassed…just like her. She placed her hands on his and their eyes met.

"Just like Kazehaya-kun said, I…would never hate you. Even if you're childish, you're still you. The Kazehaya Shouta…that I fell for." She smiled in between tears.

Kazehaya was speechless for a moment as he took in what she said and then, he finally had his usual smile on.

"Haha, I'm so stupid for worrying." Kazehaya chuckled, finally the weight on his mind was gone. He fixed his gaze back at the coal haired girl as she gave one of her rare smile. He couldn't believe that she hadn't notice how her smiles could make his heart flutter so much.

"I…love you Sawako." He reached out and closed the distance between them.

It was a simple kiss out of whim but he was glad that she didn't reject him. He pulled back and saw her completely reddened face.

"T-That, W-What just-" her mind broke as she flustered for words. Kazehaya kept gazing at her as she didn't stop panicking and murmuring to herself. An idea came to his mind.

"You know…that wasn't your first…" he decided to tease her with a grin.

"W-What? W-What do you mean?" she was completely shocked.

"Yesterday night, when you were drunk. You initiated it first." He simply said.

"I-I WHAT? A—S-So embarrassing." Sawako shook her head as she covered her face with both hands, attempting to covered her already blushing face. She couldn't say anything else as she felt the embarrassment of her life. Kazehaya chuckled.

Finally, our voice reached each other.

Chizu: *sob* Waaahh, that was so sad and touching!

Ayane: Really? Well, not bad for the shy couple I guess *smirk*

Ryu: *nods*

Sawako and Shouta blushed.

Ume: What? Are you serious? I hated it *pouts*

Chizu: okay…who let the jealous girl in? *vein popped*

Chizu: Don't worry Ume, you still have Pin…

Pin: What's this? I'm really sorry young girl but your feelings for me could not be returned yet again.

Ume: WHAT? Who says I like you, stupid teacher! Arrgh, I can't take it anymore, I'm leaving.

Sawako: Ah, Ume-chan…come again next time *smile*

Ume: *blushes* I-I don't want to hear that from you!

Alice: Okay, okay, that's enough. Since we are already nearing the end of the fic, I guess this time Kazehaya gets to finish off.

Shouta: O-Ok…*cough*

"Sawako, will you marry me again if we get reviews?"

Sawako: Eh? *blush*

Shouta: Pin you idiot… cut it out with the voice mimicking!
