Start:

Jerking awake, Hike stared at the clock standing on the bedside table beside the bed. It read 4.56 am. Turning her head, Hiku stared out of the window. The sky was still dark. Sitting up, Hiku pushed the blanket off and stood up and walked towards the balcony. Tying back the curtains, Hiku unlocked the door and stepped outside. It was still cold and the surrounding was quiet. The sound of waves crashing gently onto the shore was heard as Hiku looked out into the sea.

"Bro, how's mum and dad? Haven't heard from them for a while… How I wish you were still here…" Hiku muttered quietly as tears trickled out of her eyes.

Wiping the tears away, Hiku turned and started at the outfit hanging from the cupboard door from the night before. Walking in, Hiku clapped her hands twice and the lights came on. Closing her eyes, Hiku waited for a moment for her eyes to get use to the sudden brightness.

Flashback

"Hiku? We found Shiho… she seems rather… Well, she seems fine." Resha said.

"Really? Why?" Hiku asked as she tightened the grip on the phone.

"I have no idea… She was at the playground near the elementary school…" Resha replied.

"So when you say she seemed fine, what was she acting like?" Hiku asked as she finally stopped pacing around and sat on her bed.

"Well, she was laughing and was like her usual self… Happy-go-lucky…" Resha said.

"There's something wrong with her then..." Hiku said worriedly.

"We'll see her tomorrow… I got to go now… See you." Resha said.

"Bye…" Hiku replied as she placed the phone onto her bed.

"Shiho…" Hiku muttered before falling asleep on her bed.

End of flashback…

The day seemed to be fast forwarding for Hiku. Everything seemed to be passing by so fast. And soon, it was time. Hiku sighed as she unplugged her video camera from the charger. Standing up, Hiku placed her camera into her bag and turned to look at the mirror. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail. She was dressed in a red t shirt which had a picture of a red rose dripping blood and had the words Get away, or I'll prick you... and had on a pair of black jeans. Grabbing her jacket in one hand, Hiku opened the door leading out of the room with the other. Rushing out, Hiku nearly bumped into her sister Nakuru.

"Watch it sis!" Nakuru cried out as she fell onto the floor landing on to her butt.

"Sorry! I'm just going to be late!" Hiku said as she dashed down the stairs and pass Kondo, who was arranging some flowers into a vase.

Grabbing a pair of sneakers of the shoe rack by the door, Hiku quickly placed them on and dashed out of the door, pashed the fountain and towards the gates. Staring at her watch, Hiku gasped as she realized that she had only thirty minutes left to get to the train station and ran to the café. Dashing along the road, Hiku saw Resha and Honaka standing by the train station, at least 3 km away.

"What are you doing here?" Hiku asked panting.

"We're here to save your date you idiot." Honaka said as she pulled out a tissue to wipe away the sweat on Hiku's face.

"What?" Hiku asked before she was dragged into a waiting cab nearby.

"Rose Mary Café please. And quick!" Resha cried out as she closed the door.

"Your hair is in a mess!" Honaka said as she pulled off the clip holding Hiku's hair together.

"Hey! Da--" Hiku cried out as Honaka started to comb her hair.

"Ouch! Wait, wait!" Hiku cried out in pain as Honaka and Resha tied her hair into a ponytail and had pushed all her fringe towards the right side.

"There…" Resha cried out in glee as she stared at Hiku.

"Erm, guys, the cab isn't moving…" Honaka said.

"Well, that's because that's Dark behind the wheel!" Hiku said as she glared at her friends.

The driver turned around and stared at the girls. A smirk plastered on his face as his hand rose to take of the black cap on his head.

"Good evening ladies…" Dark smiled as he bowed his head a little.

"Dark-san!" Honaka and Resha cried out in excitement.

"Seems like you're gonna be late Hiku…" Dark said smirking.

"I'm not the only one…" Hiku said through gritted teeth.

"Ahh… But remember, my wings are faster than any car here…" Dark replied.

"Erm, we're going off now… Bye!" Resha said as she pulled Honaka out of the car.

"Tell us the details later…" Honaka muttered to Hiku as she climbed out of the car.

Resha and Honaka then started to run off to the distance, laughing among them.

"Well, should we go now then?" Dark asked as he opened the door and got out.

Hiku sighed and got out of the car. Dark had place the cap back on and Hiku could see how he was dressed. Dark wore a loose black collared top and had buttoned only four buttons. He had a pair of long black pants which was blowing slightly in the wind.

"Let's go then…" Dark said as he took hold of Hiku hand and led her to the train station.

Passing the guard the tickets, Dark and Hiku got onto the train quickly. Since it was a Friday night, the train was filled with students hanging out together. Holding onto the pole be her side, Hiku stared at Dark. He was having a hard time trying to keep his face from being seen.

"Having a hard time?" Hiku asked trying to suppress a giggle.

Dark just smiled at her and then bend towards her.

"No, you?" he asked quietly as he brought his hand to her face and stared into her eyes.

Just then, the train jerked to a stop and Hiku slipped and fell backwards hitting the glass behind.

"Ouch!" Hiku groaned as she rubbed her head.

"Be careful!" Dark muttered as he pulled her forward and looked at where she had got hit.

Hiku blushed as she felt Dark rubbed the bump on her head carefully…
