It's unpredictable on when I'm gonna update the story again xD It might be a week from now, a month, maybe even five months. When I'm not in school, I'll try the best I can to work on the story and I promise, I will finish it. I'm gonna have winter break, which means I'll be able to work on Chapter 15, yay :D :) Well here's chapter 14 :D

Chapter 14

After school, I waited at the park. I watched little children chasing each other, riding bikes, and laughing. To pass time, I played hide and seek with some of them, but soon, it got dark and they had to go home. But they said that they'd come back another time and that they hope to see me again. So I decided to wait at the bench.

At first, I was afraid that Kyou-chan wouldn't come, but a few minutes to 8:00, I spotted him coming into the entrance.

"Kyou-chan, you're here!" I said. I got up from the bench and walked over to him.

"… You're still here?"

"Uh, yeah. I said I'd wait and I kept my promise! But I almost thought you wouldn't come… heheh…"

"Stupid."

"Huh?"

"Nothing."

"You. You just called me stupid…"

"Yeah…"

"Hn… Yeah, I am stupid." I sat back down on the bench and he sat next to me.

"Before yesterday, you were avoiding me," he said.

"Oh, so you noticed, Kyou-chan? I… I'm sorry…"

"So what happened?"

"Kyou-chan, you seem to be a lot nicer than usual… Well um, never mind that. Well… ever since my brother, Kai, said those words to you… I became afraid to talk to you. I didn't want you to know that we kissed, but now I know that onii-chan really regrets it. My father took him in when his friend and his wife died in an accident. My family used to get along really well until my Dad died. Once that happened, my mom became really depressed and she took all her anger out on onii-chan and made him leave the house. So once he returned a couple years later, I realized that the two of us changed and well… he liked me. It felt like we weren't even brother and sister anymore. But now, I think we returned back to the way we were before, so I'm happy again… Um, sorry if I said all of that at one time, did I confuse you?"

"No."

"Okay um, Kyou-chan, I guess that's it then… But um… I won't avoid you again, don't worry."

"I wasn't worrying."

"Sure you weren't…"

"I wasn't. You're a herbivore."

"I'm not just any herbivore. You call me Hitomi the herbivore."

"Yeah, you're different."

"I am, right?"

"You're more destructive…"

I giggled. "Oh yeah, Kyou-chan. Do you plan on telling me what was going on? There was some guy that looked almost exactly like you, except he was a bit older."

"What did he say?"

"He just told me stuff like… don't do anything stupid I'd regret and that I should act like my normal self. And… he called me Hitomi! Without adding herbivore!"

"Oh really…"

"Yeah… Um, I was just wondering if you could explain this situation your in…"

"Situation?"

"I don't know but um… I just always here everyone talk about stuff like 'Vongola' and the 'mafia' and how Tuna-chan is the 10th generation… or something like that. I tried asking him, but he didn't tell me anything. I know you probably don't like explaining stuff, but I really want to know."

"Why do you want to know so badly?"

"Well um… you know how I…" I started to blush before I could finish my sentence. "You know how I feel about you Kyou-chan. I… I…"

"You love me?"

"Um yeah… I love you." I could feel my face turn red. I just wasn't used to saying that I loved him. "I know you're a really strong person, but sometimes I can't help but to worry."

Kyou-chan didn't really tell me that much about what was going on, but I made sure that I listened to everything else he said. All I really knew was that he was in dangerous fights that involved the mafia.

"Thanks, Kyou-chan…" I said and looked up at him. "I know it must be really dangerous and I'll still worry just as much as before, but I'm happy you told me about it… Be careful, okay?"

"… Yeah."

I got up from the bench and went behind him, then covered his eyes with my hands. "Guess who?~"

"It's obviously you…"

"Who am I?"

"An annoying little girl."

"That's sooo mean~! Guess again! You have two more chances!"

"Hitomi the Herbivore."

"Well that's what you call me, but who am I really?"

"What happens if I get this right?"

"Well you'll find out, won't you? So… who am I?"

"You're Hitomi."

"Yay! You got it right!" I leaned closer to him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and then quickly walked away from him and hid behind a tree.

"Come back out… Hitomi."

"Eheheheh…" I slowly walked out from my hiding place.

"What was that about?"

"Um, well… Last night, my brother told me I should give you a surprise kiss, but I'd feel too nervous if I did it while you were watching me…"

"So you want to kiss me…"

"W-what? No! I mean um… yes?"

"Come here."

"H-huh?"

"Just come here before I change my mind."

"O-okay," I said and walked closer to him.

"Go ahead. Kiss me wherever you want."

"W-what? I thought you were going to kiss me- Oops, I mean um er…"

"So you want me to kiss you? Just a moment ago you were the one that wanted to kiss me."

"Kyou-chan, you're so mean!" I said and blushed. "You're always teasing me."

I looked at him and he looked at me. Without realizing it, the two of came closer together and our lips met each other.

I began to wonder, what's happened to me? Time passes by so quickly. I remembered when I was 5. Since when did I become a teenager? When did I become 16? But I'm still me, Hitomi. The girl that acts like a little kid, but I had to admit. I was getting older.

I remember when getting stuffed animals and candy was a joy. But this kiss was even better. And falling in love with Kyou-chan was the best.
