Yep! A definite love triangle! Oh, and the Rikuo here is the 'yokai' Rikou. He was the one who promised Hime to get married. So now your guess for Hime is: 1. Tsurara 2. Kana 3. Otome Yamabuki 4. Hagoromo Gitsune… Hmmm… I like your guesses! XD… BTW: Guaranteed Rikou x Tsurara! ^.^" Now on with the story!... .

"H-HIME?" Rikou shouted. The girl in front of him giggled. "So… you remembered?" "H-How did you… Why're you here?" "What do you mean? Aren't you happy to see me?" The girl replied with a sad voice. "I-It's not that… Why did you come here?"
"I came here… so that I could be with you again!" She smiled. Rikou looked at her with a shocked face. "W-What's with that face? Aren't you happy to see me?" She said with a shaky voice. "A-After I came all the way here… f-for you… I-I'm sorry. Don't you w-want me in your life a-anymore?" Tears then started dropping from her eyes.
"H-Hime!" Rikou said as he approached her and calmed her down. Many people are now looking at them. "Damn, there's too many people. Let's talk somewhere else!" He shouted as he grabbed her hand and led her to the rooftop.
"I-I'm sorry…" Hime whispered. "Y-You forgot all about me, right? And here I am thinking that you'll be so happy to see me again… I-I'm sorry…" She said between sobs. "Hime, I just-" "It's okay, Rikou. Whoever would think that a person would remember childhood memories… And promises…" Hime looked at Rikou's eyes. "D-Do you remember? Our promise?" "O-Oh, that…" Rikou rolled his eyes. "Yeah." "D-Do you…" Hime asked shyly. "Uhmmm... Can I still be-!"

"Uhmmm, excuse me, but have you seen Rikou?" Tsurara asked a guy who was passing in the school hallway. "Uh, yeah. He was with a girl just now, and man is that girl beautiful!" He blushed. Tsurara then emitted a strange aura. "Uhhh… They went over there!" He pointed out to where they went. Tsurara rushed over to that direction without second thought.
"Where'd he go?" She asked. 'And I have something important I wanted to tell him as well…' She thought. She stopped running and thought for awhile. "What place here in school does he usually go to?" She thought. "Ah, I know!"

"RIKOU!" Tsurara shouted as she opened the door to the rooftop. She was speechless of what she saw. Rikou's hands on a girl's cheek and their faces near each other… 'Whaaa-!' "T-Tsurara!" Rikou shouted. Tears start to form in Tsurara's eyes. "I-It's not what you think!" Rikou shouted as she approached her. "Shut up!" Tsurara yelled and slapped him hard on the face. "Who is she?" She hissed.
"Surely Rikou has told you about me. I'm his childhood friend, Hime. And you are…?" She asked. "H-Hime? N-No way… I thought you moved over to another country?" She asked. "Yes, but I went back here to Japan because… well… I missed Rikou." She blushed. "H-Hime!" Rikou shouted as a sign for her to be silent. "What're you getting so mad about Rikou? Who is she anyway?" Hime asked as she walked towards them.
"Heh. I'm Tsurara Oikawa. Rikou's… girlfriend." Tsurara said proudly. "O-Oh, is that right? Rikou, you never told me about her…" Hime said. "Oikawa-chan, let's be friend, okay?" Hime smiled. "…Yeah, sure." Tsurara rolled her eyes. "Let's get going, Rikou. It's getting pretty late now." She said as she grabbed his hand and walked away, leaving Hime all alone in the rooftop.
"H-Hey, you okay? Your hand is shaking…" Rikou asked her, worried. "I-It's nothing, really…" She replied. She then released Rikou's hand and turned to face him. "Well, thanks for today! I'm going home now." She smiled. "I-I'll walk you home, then." "No need. My house is just around the corner. See ya!" She said as she ran. "Tsurara…" Rikou whispered her name as he watched her leave.

9.00pm…
Rikou was sleeping peacefully in his room when… 'RING!' 'RING!'
Rikou reached for his phone. 'Geez… It's so late in the evening. I wonder who this is?' "Hello?" "Hello, Rikou-kun? This is Tsurara's mom, Setsura." "Oh, hi mom. What's up?" "H-Have you seen Tsurara? S-She hasn't gone home yet…" Setsura said with a shaky voice. "What?" Rikou yelled as he sat on his bed. "She's never been out this late before. Earlier, I thought there was just something she had to do at school… but…" Setsura cried. "I-I'll go look for her right away!" He yelled and hang up afterwards.
He tried to call her phone but she wouldn't pick up. "Darn it, Tsurara! Where are you?" He said as he ran on the street. "Where could she be? The school? No… It's probably closed now. And she isn't home, so… Got it!"
~3~
Tsurara hugged her knees and buried her face on them. She cried so hard that her eyes were now red. "That Hime girl… Why the heck does she even need to come back?" She yelled on the empty park. "Things were going okay before she came to our lives… or maybe I'm the only one who thinks that. Maybe Rikou was really happy that she came back…" She cried again.
"Found you!" Rikou shouted. "E-Eh? Why're you here?" She asked. "Idiot! Don't ask stupid questions like that!" He said as he sat beside her. "You already know the answer, right? Because I was worried about you…" He smiled at her. Tsurara smiled back and said 'thanks' then leaned on his shoulder. "You know… You should tell us where you're going. You had us really worried, both me and your mom…" He said as he looked up the stars while gently caressing Tsurara's head.
"Sorry about that…" She muttered. "Why the heck did you ran away anyway?" "I didn't run away, jerk. I just need some time alone, to think, that's all." "Think about what?" "About… Never mind. It's nothing." "Idiot… It's not nothing. It's definitely something… because the Tsurara that I know is strong. So she wouldn't cry over nothing. So it's a serious something because you cried over it! It's a definitely big something! So what's this something that you call nothing?"
Tsurara looked at him with confused eyes and laughed hard. "Hahaha! Do you even know what you're saying?" "No… But I don't care if I don't know what I'm saying… As long as you're happy." He replied with a grin. Tsurara felt heat rush up her face and looked away. "I-Idiot! Anyway… About this something…" "It's about earlier, isn't it?" He asked. Tsurara looked at him, this time he has a serious face. "Y-Yeah…"
"I'm sorry…" He said. "N-No, I was the one who… I mean I should've…" She sighed. "I'm the one who should say sorry to you, Rikou…" She continued. "But… what were you two doing earlier anyway?" She glared. "N-Nothing!" He yelled. "Oh, really?" "Really! She just cried because of something I said so I tried to comfort her, that's all!" "And what's this 'something you said', hmmm?"
"I said that…"
