Recap: It's been almost a week since Cyrus entered Seiso. Sayaka is often lacking in sleep due to Cyrus's late night phone calls. At school, Cyrus asked for Sayaka's help. She has to pretend to be Cyrus's girlfriend to capture a girl's heart. This episode is entitled: "True confession"


A month has passed. Cyrus's pretend plan to capture the girl of his dreams is still not progressive. Sayaka was getting tired of it and she really wanted to cancel the deal. "Sayaka, sweetie! Over here! I saved you a seat!" Cyrus called out. He was also seating with Kazuki, Azuma, and Haruka. "Thanks for the seat." Sayaka thanked Cyrus and tried to lighten up a bit since she's been always fighting with him. The three body guards were walking to their direction.

"Yunoki-sama! We want you to accept this! We made it especially for you." The three shyly gave him a box with something inside it we don't what. "Thank you ladies..." He thanked them with a gentle smile which almost melted their hearts. When he opened the box, it was full of yummy pastries. "Operation capture Medusa's cold heart...Engage!" Cyrus whispered to Sayaka. He held Sayaka's hand and tried giving her a spoonful of food. "Open wide sweetie!" He was trying to feed her with the same spoon he's been using. "No way!... But I...." Sayaka was reluctant and grossed out. "Sacrifice! I must... For Cyrus and for my freedom..." She closed her eyes so hard and took the food in.

"Eeeeerrr... haha... delicious?" With a very fake smile. "I love you sooo much!!!" He was touching her cheeks which later turned red. She realized that he just said 'I love you' which was far beyond the limits of their deal. "What did you say?!" She was covered with flames with closed fist almost ready to smack him on the head. "Do you really want to hear it again? I'd be glad to repeat... I lo-" She quickly put a spoonful of food in his mouth too, and he was almost choked to death. "I heard it loud and clear Casanova! No need to repeat you frea-...." She stopped because the three girls, and her three friends were looking suspiciously at them. "I mean... no need to repeat you cutie!" She was secretly gagging and pinched his cheeks. The three body guards left with the same thoughts, "Loony couple... ppffttt..."

At the garden, she was having some serious talking with Cyrus "Aaarrggghhh… This plan is hopeless! If Medusa keeps seeing us like this, she won't know that you have feelings for her! You have to tell her straight out!" She yelled at him while giving him some lectures. His eyes opened up very wide and her last statement kept resonating in his ears. "Tell...her... straight out… huh?" He expressed a very lonely face. "Yes. She won't know unless you tell her. I'd be surely glad if you pull yourself together and confess! There's no harm in trying. You've got nothing to lose. You'll only lose the opportunity if you let it go!" She was convincing Cyrus to be more honest with his emotions.

His face turned dark, and later, he raised his head then gave her a faint smile. "Thank you... Sayaka. I'll surely do that. I'll tell the girl of my dreams, my true feelings..." He was looking at the beautiful clear sky. "Way to go! Just let me know right away if something happens, okay?! See ya!" She imitated Cyrus's favorite two-finger salute and winked at him then left.

By the school's rooftop, he was playing a happy song from 'The nutcracker suite: I -Overture' by Tchaikovsky with her violin. This song often reminds her of her childhood. It was a very random flashback but it just came into her mind.

*flashback*

"Cyrus? Where are we going?!" Sayaka was very curious. Cyrus's hands were covering her eyes. "It'll be a surprise. Just keep walking. Don't worry! I'm with you." He told her excitedly. When Cyrus got his hands off her eyes, she opened them carefully and saw... A beautiful pink flower patch garden. "Wow!!! Cyrus! They're so beautiful!" She was so amazed with eyes wide open in wonder. When they were young, they were still as close as a sibling could be.

Together, they played at the beautiful garden. They ran, they hide, they rolled down the hills without a care in the world, until they get tired. They lied down at the soft grass, and decided to rest. They were both gazing at the setting sun and the fiery sky. "From now on, this will be my favorite place of all!" She sighed and closed her eyes as the warm breeze blew. "I see... You really liked it here, huh?" Cyrus looks at her. "Yes! And from now on, these will be my favorite flowers! Maybe when I get married, I'll be using these pink roses as well..." She smiled and giggled while thinking about her future. "What?! Marriage?! You're still too young! Don't think about that kind of stuff yet!" He was scolding her like a big brother.

"Hey! At least I've got my future well-planned out. How about you? You only think about nothing but playing. Oooh yeah, and girrrrlllsss...." She hissed at him. "Sayaka, here..." His heart was pounding so fast as he gave her three pink flowers which he plucked. "Why thank you Cy..." She touched and smelled the pretty pink roses. "I'll definitely miss these..." He quietly spoke. "What do you mean miss? You're not going anywhere, are you?" She worriedly glanced at him. "Yes I am. After mom gets married to Mr. John Austin, we'll be leaving for Britain." He was full of anger at the same time, sadness.

"Cyrus, are you serious?! You can't leave! You're the only cousin I have who likes me. They all hate me. Please don't go!" She begged. She was pulling his sleeve and was a little teary eyed. He smiled at her and comforted her as he patted her head. "Don't worry, when you get married, I'll surely be there! Just promise me that you'll be there for me in my wedding too, 'kay? And that you'll never cry when I leave." He gave her a thumbs up and a cute wink. "Promise me that and I'll surely be there for you too!" Then they hugged each other. "I'll be the one with you there... I swear..." He swore to himself.

*end of flashback*

Her eyes were still closed. When she opened them, she saw Len in front of her. "Tsukimori-kun?! What are you doing here?" She asked. "Same thing you always do to me..." He was so cool and calm when he said it. He was holding two cans of iced tea, which they both drank later. "Can I ask you a question?" She was looking at the can as if it was very interesting. "What is it?" , "Why is it so hard to confess your feelings for a person (Talking about Cyrus and herself)? It's also hard to admit to yourself that you're starting to like that person (Now, mostly about her)..." She was staring into space. Len's eyes grew wide, he was lost for words and it feels like he can't answer her question.

"Why are you asking me all of these?" He was wondering why. "It's Cyrus. When we were young, he always finds it hard to tell a girl that he likes her, even until now. I know that he's a sweet person and all, but he really finds it hard to express that he seriously loves someone. He always has to go for some schemes that seem impossible to work..." She was laughing a little bit at the thought of Cyrus hiding from his crush back in the old days. Finally, Len found the words he was looking for and gathered his strength to answer her truthfully.

"I guess that's true love. Maybe that's the reason why he felt so strongly about her." He wasn't thinking about Cyrus's current situation, but instead, he was thinking of his own feelings. "Oh… I see... That freak, he didn't even let me know that he has truly fallen for someone." She shakes her head. After a few minutes of silence, her cell phone rang. "Hello?" She answered. "Sayaka! It's me. I want you to meet me by the pink flower patch garden, pronto! It's very important..." Cyrus, on the other line, sounded like it was something urgent. So she hurriedly left Len and ran to the garden. "I'm sorry Tsukimori-kun! I need to meet Cyrus right now! I guess it's very important. See you tomorrow!" She quickly said her goodbye. She just left Len staring at the door she exited. "It must be Cyrus again…" He theorized.

"Cyrus, what is it? Did something happen? Did you tell her?" She was so excited to get some scoop from Cyrus. "Sayaka.... I just wanted to admit something..." He was still very nervous. He was afraid of rejection, but still, he told himself that it's worth the shot. "You see... I LOVE YOU SAYAKA! It's no lie! I was lying when I said I've fallen for that girl." He spilled it all out in one blow. She was dazed and couldn't believe what she has heard. "Will you stop fooling around and tell me what really happened!" , "I'm serious! It's all true! I really do love you, from the very beginning! I just don't have the courage to tell..."

Her head was facing the ground and her face was all dark, with cold sweats. "You're my cousin, you can't possibly love me more than a cousin a friend or a sister." She calmly answered. "No! You're not my cousin! You know I'm adopted!" He was holding her very tight on both shoulders. "I'm so sorry. I don't think I could return those same feelings..." Her voice was so weak and weary. Cyrus slowly let go of her. "I knew it... You've fallen in love with someone else... It's him isn't it?!" He angrily stated. She was shocked to hear that he knew it all along. "Yes... Maybe I have... I'm so sorry..." She just answered since she knew who Cyrus was talking about.

"I knew it from the way you talk to him, the way you smile at him. Don't worry, I won't force you love me back. But, for the last time... can I..." He pulled her and embraced her so tight as if he doesn't want to let her go. Tears started falling, her chest started feeling heavy. She has no strength to stand up or even to resist from his hug so she just hugged him back too then whispered, "I'm so sorry....."

She was unaware that Len followed her and is now looking at the two of them. Yes, he heard the conversation. "He finally confessed to her… It's all worth it, even though he got rejected…" Then he quietly left and avoided being seen by the two.

To be continued^_^ hope you enjoyed!!!
