" What's Sayori?" whispered Yama and Akiko. " Every year, on this day, the day class girls and guys hands out chocolate's to the one they love... Kaname and and Aidou-san are usually the popular ones..." giggled Sayori. " Class please!"
The class kept chatting with excitement. " Oh well.. never mind..." the teacher thought. " So who are you gonna give chocolate to Yama?" asked Akiko.
"Not telling!"
Akiko gasped, and starting smacking Yama. " No fair Yama~" " Well what about you Akiko?" She thought, and counted on her fingers. " You, Zero, Uncle Cross..." - - - -
During Break, Akiko was in the Home Ec. room, making home-made chocolates. She had a heart for Uncle Cross saying, " Thank you Uncle Cross~" , pretzels inside the chocolate for Yama, and a chocolate heart heart for Zero with the letters written, " I love you!"
Akiko put the chocolate on the box, wrapped them, and put them in her dorm, for tomorrow. - - - -
At lunch, Akiko, Yama, and Sayori all sat dowm in the cafeteria. " Hey Yama..." asked Akiko. " Hmm?" Akiko starts to blush. " I like someone... and I'm gonna confess to them tomorrow.. how should I tell him.. well since your a guy and all..." I'd..." Yama started thinking. " I had a crush on you for a long time now and I lik you please accept this gift, and the gift, and then say I really love you!"
Sayori rose her hand. " If I were you, I'd just talk to him normally, then slowly bring it up..." " Thanks guys!" smiled Akiko. " See you two later..." Yama said getting up, and walking away. " Hey Sayori..." " Yeah Akiko-chan?"
" I didn't want to tell Yama this..." Sayori nods. Yama easdrops. " The guy I love ..." " Is Zero-kun..." giggled Sayori. " H-how did you know?!" Akiko being shocked. Yama was surprised, and a little hurt. " So she like Zero-san.." Yama thought. " Intuition..." smiled Sayori. " I wish you the best off luck!' giving a thumbs up.
As Akiko was done with lunch, she got out of her seat. When she turns around, Akiko saw Yama there, standing in fear. He ran where ever he could think of.
Yuki walks over to Akiko, and hands her a chocolate. " Here this is for you, for my apprecation..." Yuki then ran back to Kaname. After the girls left, the night class left and went to the night class library.
Akiko looked to her right, and Zero was no where to be found. She remembered when Yuki was handing the chocolate to her, she whispered to her very faintly. " He is probably in the barn with White Lily..."
Zero was laying down taking a nap. She never knew that they had a barn at Cross Academy. Akiko opened the barn door slowly, trying not to make any noise.
" Zero-kun.. you in hereA?!" A white horse neighed. Akiko saw the white horse, and walked over.
" You must be White Lily... I'm AKiko, a friend of Zero's..." White Lily pushed her nose up, wanting Akiko to pet her. " Have you seen Zero?" White Lily nugged Zero. Zero opened his eyes slowly. " Yuki sure knows everything about you..." Akiko sighed .
They walked outside into the sunlight. " What do you want? I was trying to take a nap..." Zero said sounding grumpy. Akiko reaches into her pocket on the front of her uniform. She handed Zero the chocolate she gave to him. " I don't each sweets..." Akiko had a sad look on her face. Zero rolled his eyes and unwrapped the gift.
He saw a heart-shaped chocolate with the words written, " I love you~" on the front. Akiko started to blush. " I.. I've liked you for a long time... and I hope you eat and accept the chocolate I made for you... Zero started to get irritated. " I've tried to hide my feelings for you all this time, because we are both guradians, and we had to focus on thr task at hand..."
Tears were rolling down her cheeks. Akiko hugged Zero. " Thanks for the chocolate.. Akiko-chan..." Akiko's tears were gone, and was shocked. " He said he didn't like sweets, but he ate mine..." Akiko thought be surprised.
" Z-Zero... can... can I stay by your side forever?!" asked Akiko. Zero sighed, and started walking away. " If that's what you want ... you dummy... your the one that gave me the chocolate, and confessed to me on "
Akiko ran up to Zero's side, and walked back with him, towards the day class. - - - -
Yama was walking towards the barn when he stopped and saw Zero and Akiko walking side by side. Yama got tense, and was ready to fight Zero, Bloody Rose or not. Akiko was talking to Zero, when she looked up and noitced Yama.
" Oh hi Yama.. I have-" Akiko pulled out the chocolate she made for Yama, and hands it to him. He smacks the chocolate away from her. It fell to the ground.
" I DON'T WANT ONE, AFTER YOU GAVE HIM ONE!" Akiko was confused.
" YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GIVE ONE TO ME, AND ONLY ME!" yelled Yama. Akiko was scared and about to cry. She has never seen Yama act this way before.
Akiko picks up the chocolate from the ground. " Please take the chocolate Yama.. you don't have to eat it, but just take it..." Yama takes the chocolate.
Yama looked to his left, then at Akiko, blushing. ' WHY.. WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?! I'VE LIKED YOU FOR A LONG TIME... and I wanted to tell you, but I thought you didn't feel the same... then when our date was over, and you kissed me on the cheek.. I thought you had accepted my feelings..."
Akiko was shocked. " Oh Yama..." Akiko thought feeling bad for him. She was about to give a hug, then Akiko thought the yelling was done, but to her surprise, it wasn't. Yama continued yelling at her, and eventually she couldn't take it anymore, and she collapsed.
Zero picked her up. " DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER! SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WITH ME, THEN SHE COMES HERE... IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" Zero ignored him, and carried Akiko to the headmaster's. - - - -
"What happened to her Zero?" the heamaster asking getting concerned. " She had a fight with Ohayashi-kun, and she collapsed." The headmaster nodded. " Take her to her room.. and lay her down.. she probably collasped from stress. She needs to sleep..." Zero carried her again, and walked her to her room.
He set her down on the bed and covered her with the sheets. He got a wet washcloth, ringed it, and put it on her forehead. Zero was sad. He took his hand, and touched her face. " Akiko..."
