Tokaku was outside the school, waiting for Haru, while texting with her cellphone. The red haired girl was talking with her teacher. The blue haired girl was exchanging SMS with Chitaru. The play "Romeo & Juliet" will be presented tomorrow. After few minutes, Haru finally arrived.

"Tokaku! Sorry for the wait"

"Don't worry, it doesn't bother me"

The two girls began to walk together, while holding hands.

"The play is tomorrow, Haru is so nervous! Mainly because of our sword fight. If Haru mess with this, Shiena-chan would be mad…"

"It would be ok, don't stress. If you forgot something, I'll just kill you quickly" said Tokaku.

When she talk about kill her, she means kill her in the play. Tokaku's role is supposed to kill the character Haru will play.

"Haru want to go see her family, if Tokaku want to come too"

"Of course I want. But, you live with the chairwoman, Yuri Meichi, don't you? I thought that she was your family" asked Tokaku.

The red haired girl began to walk in another direction, still holding Tokaku's hand.

"She's a relative of Haru, my mom's cousin I think" answered Haru.

"And why Hashiri live with you? Who is she for the chairwoman?"

"Her lover…huh, not, I mean…she's her adoptive daughter!" said Haru.

This was probably one of the biggest secret that Haru must keep. The red haired girl felt extremely guilty for saying this to Tokaku. The relation between Meichi and Nio wasn't legal, the age difference was too high, the chairwoman could have problems.

"Oh…how old is the chairwoman? asked Tokaku, not really shocked by this revelation.

"Huh…late twenties, I think. Tokaku, you should never say this to anybody, otherwise Yuri-san would be in deep trouble…"

"Don't worry, I'll keep this secret. Anyway, Hashiri will be an adult in three years, so their relation would be legal soon. I have nothing against them, they can do what they want, and this isn't of my business" replied Tokaku.

Haru didn't say anything, she just smiled happily and hugged her girlfriend.


"Huh, Haru? What's the meaning of this?" asked the blue haired girl, confused.

The two girls were now in a cemetery.

"We're here to see my family" answered Haru.

She headed to several tombstones, followed by Tokaku. The red haired girl stopped in front of four graves. The names written on them were Ichinose Kazuaki, Ichinose Hinata, Ichinose Natsuo and Ichinose Wataru.

"Your family is…dead" said Tokaku, with sadness in her voice.

"In a car accident, Haru is the only one who survived"

"Is it why you have so many scars?" asked the blue haired girl.

"Yes, the doctor said that it was a miracle that Haru survived"

Feeling bad for her girlfriend, Tokaku couldn't stop herself from hugging Haru.

"I'm sorry" she said, honestly.

"Don't be, Haru is no longer sad. My family would want me to be happy, so Haru decided to keep smiling, to honor them. And Haru isn't alone, I have Yuri-san and Nio in my life, and also Tokaku now"

The red haired girl gave a brief kiss to Tokaku, before break the hug.

"Now, Haru want to meet your family!" she said, cheerfully.

This request risked to be difficult to realise, Tokaku's family wasn't really okay with her relation with Haru.

"My mother died when I was a baby, I never saw my father, and my grandmother isn't someone I want you to meet" answered Tokaku.

The blue haired girl noticed sadness into her girlfriend's eyes, she was probably sad to know that she didn't have parents, and also because she couldn't meet her family.

"Well, maybe you can meet my aunt Mako. She's a nice person, you should appreciate her, I think. And she also wants to meet you, so…" began to say the blue haired girl.

Haru suddenly jumped into Tokaku's arms, too happy to be able to meet a member of her girlfriend's family.

"She should go now, be here is kind of depressing" said Tokaku.

Haru nodded, agree with the blue haired girl. They were holding hands, before leaving the cemetery.


Hitsugi's body was lying on the floor, inert. She seemed to be dead when Chitaru tried to wake her up. Despairing by the death of her loved one, the tall girl took a bottle of poison and drank it. She put her hand on her heart, in pain, and fell on the floor, next to Hitsugi.

The younger girl opened her eyes. She wasn't dead, she had drank a potion to feign death. She saw Chitaru next to her, dying. She understood that it was a suicide, because of her. Her lover died into her arms, while she was crying. Feeling guilty for her death and also because she didn't want to live without her, Hitsugi took a dagger and stabbed herself, and fell on Chitaru's body.

Nio, dressed like a priest, approached of the death couple. Sadness could be read into her eyes. She put a cross on them, prayed for their soul, before the curtain fall. Everybody in the auditorium acclaimed, and few girls screamed "Romeo-sama" with admiration. Shiena and Mizogori were there, satisfied and proud about the play.

Behind the curtain, Chitaru and Hitsugi rose up from the floor and hugged each other.

"You cry for real" said Chitaru, wiping her tears.

"I was too much in my role"

Suzu looked them, with a sweet smile. "Ah, young and first love, so beautiful" she said. "I hope that Kouko-chan had appreciated the play" she thought, before going in the auditorium to find her girlfriend.

Shiena began to head toward the stage, but someone grabbed her arm. It was Otoya. "Good job with the play, Shiena-chan" she said, before kissing her on the cheek. The brunette felt her heart racing. "Dammit, you can't just do this, Takechi!" she said, before grabbing Otoya's tie and kissing her on her lips. This time, it meant what Otoya thought.

Haruki hugged Isuke by behind. "Isuke-sama, your speech at the beginning was awesome! People really found it funny" she said. "Huh, Isuke doesn't care, well at least I have my extra credits…" replied the pink haired girl. Haruki grinned, still hugging her girlfriend.

Nio looked all these couples. She also saw Sumireko and Mahiru kissing each other behind the decor, and Tokaku and Haru holding hands, looking into each other eyes lovingly. "It seems like everyone are gay and in couple, I feel a little bit alone now…" she thought, with a cat smile. "Well, I have Meichi, even if it's a secret".

Chitaru and Hitsugi was still hugging, while Nio approached of them.

"Hey you two, I don't want to ruin your happy moment, but I heard that Kirigaya's family is there and they are mad at you" said the blonde girl.

"Huh? My family is there?"

"If it's true, we only have one choice" said Chitaru.

The tall girl took Hitsugi into her arms and jumped from the scene. She began to walk in the auditorium, carrying Hitsugi like a princess. The persons who were still in the room looked them, screaming their admiration for "Romeo and Juliet", before the couple left the auditorium.


Chitaru was running, still carrying Hitsugi. They left the school, and after a few minutes of running, the tall girl stopped, and she looked behind her. They were in a backstreet, alone.

"They didn't following us" she said, putting Hitsugi on the ground. "If your family know about our relation, mine probably also know"

Hitsugi suddenly hugged Chitaru, worried about our relationship.

"What we going to do? I love you, I don't want to break up because of our families!" said Hitsugi.

"Me neither! Don't worry, it wouldn't happen. Like you said, the rivalry of our families isn't our problem, we can't let them bother us"

The tall girl gently kissed her girlfriend on her forehead.

"For the moment, our families can control us because we are still children. But in one year, I will be an adult, my family will have no right on me. I will be free to see you, we will just have to meet in secret until you will be also an adult. After, we could be totally free, we could even live together!" said Chitaru.

Hitsugi smiled happily, and grabbed Chitaru's hand.

"I also want to live with you, forever. I want you to be my first one, and also my last one" said Hitsugi, with a childish smile.

Chitaru blushed a little, confused about what Hitsugi meant.

"You know, you would also by me first one" admitted the tall girl.

Chitaru leant, approaching her face of Hitsugi, before kissing her. The younger girl put her arms around Chitaru's neck, kissing her more intensely and passionately. The tall girl hugged the younger one, while Hitsugi jumped and wrapped her legs around Chitaru's waist. The red haired girl pressed Hitsugi against the wall, while they were still kissing.

"You shouldn't do this here" said Nio, out of nowhere.

Chitaru and Hitsugi suddenly stopped, surprised and embarrassed by the fact that they were spied by the blonde girl.

"Don't worry, I support you! I even going to help you, because, with your family problems, you can't do this in any of your houses, don't you? Well, I have something for you!" said Nio, with a mischievous smile.

Somehow, the blonde girl felt related with their impossible love, because of her relation with the chairwoman. She approached of the couple and gave to Chitaru an advertising card. Nio gave them a wink, before disappearing.

Chitaru and Hitsugi looked the address on the card. It was a love motel.
