***Kanou*** P.O.V
A storm looks like it's approching the beach, I was about to head inside when I noticed something. Where's Tomoyo? I start looking around until I spot her in the water.I could see that huge waves were headed her way but she seemed to be swimming further and further into the ocean.
I have to save her I just have too.
"Kanou what are you doing we ha-" I turn and see Megumi who stops talking in the middle of her sentence. She probably noticed Tomoyo in the water.
Suddently the storm get stronger and a massive wave is now headed in Tomoyo's path. Why doesn't she swim away from it instead of toward it. It's only then when I realize she is trying to grab some type of paper in the water.
As the huge wave gets closer and closer I start running towards the ocean.
"TOMOYO!" I yell out as I run but she keeps getting closer and closer to the wave.
I feel a tug at my arm.
"Kanou it's not safe we have to leave the beach! Come on!" Megumi says pulling me away from the ocean.
"No let go of me! Let go!" I yell managing to tug her hand from my arm. The wave comes and buries Tomoyo under the water. Part of me hopes she will float back to the top but she doesn't it's like she completely disapeared.
She's going to die at this rate! She's going to die and drown!
Before I could jump in the sea Yukimura and Takumi hold me back.I still see no sign of Tomoyo I can tell she is drowning right now.
"Stop what are you doing can't you see that Tomoyo is going to die! I have to help her! Let go of me!" I yell tears streaming down my eyes but they both don't realease me. I feel helpess as I watch Tomoyo die.
The only thing I could scream was
"TOMOYO!" one last time before being dragged away.
I'm sorry Tomoyo I failed to protect you and what's worse is I never got to tell her how I felt.
***Tomoyo***P.O.V
I wake up to a white light, am I dead? No I can't be I still have my hands and feet. The white light then turns into the sun.
"Oh great you're awake." Says an unfamiliar voice. I look and see it's a pretty good looking guy with light blond hair and brown eyes.
I try to sit up but quickly lay back down when I feel my head throb.
"Careful you hit your head pretty hard." The guy says.
"Uhh who are you?" I asked.
"Oh how rude of me I am Kaito."
"Oh well what exactly happened and where am I?"
"Relax you are still at the beach and I saved you from drowning." He states.
"Thank you for saving me but I bet my friends are worried about me." I say. I then get up but Kaito grabs my wrist.
"Wait I never did get your name?"
"Tomoyo it's Tomoyo Miyuki." I say and he lets go of my wrist.
"Well Tomoyo I believe you dropped this." He says handing me some sort of paper. I now see that it is the picture I was chasing after in the ocean.
"Thanks." I say before I walk towards Megumi's beach house. When I walk in I am Immediately surrounded by everyone.
"Tomoyo you idiot! I was worried sick about you! We all were!" Megumi says wrapping me into the tightest hug.
"I'm sorry for making you guys all worry about me." I say feeling the guilt wash all over me.
"Well it's alright as long as you're here now but do us a favor and never try that again ok?" Misaki states and I nod my head in agreement.
We then all begin a big group hug and I was in the middle. Once the group hug was over I look over at Kanou his face still showed a blank expression but I smiled at him and he does a tiny nod as in acknowledgment of my smile.
"Hey Tomoyo how did you make it out of the ocean anyway Kanou said he saw you drown from that big wave?" Yukimura asks me.
"Well funny story I got saved by this guy and he had the most golden blond hair and the lightest brown eyes. He almost seemed unreal."
"Sounds like a merman." Takumi interrupts and Misaki hits him on the head and tells him to shut up you dork stalker.
"What? I was only kidding Misaki you don't have to be so rude." Takumi adds with a little pouty face.
"Actually I guess you could describe him as a merman but I never did thank him tomorrow I need to find him and properly say thank you" I say.
"I like to hear more about this guy go ahead share share." Megumi says all excited, I swear I see gleaming stars in her eyes.
" Well he-" Before I could finish I stopped talking because I noticed Kanou walk out of the room he looks sad no upset. Is it something I said. I look at Yukimura hoping he would give me some hint but he just shakes his head.
"What did I do?" I asked Megumi.
"You really are clueless aren't you Tomoyo?" Megumi says. Great last thing I need is Megumi not giving me hints.
"I'd love to continue sitting here and explaining it to you but I gotta get everything set up for my party tomorrow." She said before swaying off.
That little brat I'd say we're more enemies than we are friends or frenemies whatever it doesn't matter. What matters is why is Kanou mad at me?
Misaki, Takumi seemed to have went somewhere else and Megumi and Yukimura are getting ready for the party tomorrow that only leaves Mizuki.
I casually slide next to her on the couch.
"Hey... Hey Mizuki you wouldn't happen to know why Kanou is mad at me would you?" I say leaning closer like I'm telling her a secret.
"No..." She responds but I clearly know that she is lying. I give Mizuki the puppy eyes and I see that it is working because she has a more sympathetic look now.
She rolls her eyes and finally explains to me exactly whats making Kanou upset.
"Look when Kanou seen you drown he didn't take it well in fact I think he took it the hardest out of all of us..."
***Mizuki***P.O.V
"No I have to go back for her can't you see that she's drowning and you won't even let me go find her! I need her let go of me! I hate all of you for this!" Kanou shouts as he tries to get free from Takumi and Yukimura.
Tears are streaming rapidly down his eyes, his now cold eyes. I never seen him act this way before it's like a brand new person trapped inside Kanou's body. I walk over to Kanou as he sinks to his knees and weeps.
I put my hand on his shoulder but he swats it away.
"Get the heck away from me! I don't need you, I don't need anyone!" He screams and I then feel a hand on my shoulder. It's Megumi signaling me to leave Kanou alone.
He really loves Tomoyo not to mention he's right there's a really high chance Tomoyo might die but some of me still feels a little bit of hope. I am then interrupted out of my thoughts when I hear a big thud.
Megumi and I rush to the room Kanou was crying in and immediately shock fills our face. The tables and chairs were all flipped over and tossed everywhere, glass was shattered on the floor.
"You idiot! What's the matter with you! Just because you're upset doesn't mean you ruin other peoples houses!" A voice says behind us and Megumi and I turn around to face without a hint of hesitation storms over to Kanou.
"Look I understand you are worried but you ca-"
"No you don't understand what if she's really dead? How can I learn to live without her! I'll just miss her so much." Kanou says and he begins to cry again.
"You idiot do you think that we don't know she can be dead? Yet we still keep on a good face because we know Tomoyo is strong maybe stronger than all of us combined. Do you really think that she would want you to sit here weeping all the time and messing up furniture!"
Kanou doesn't speak he wipes his eyes off with his sleeve and just sits there in silence before speaking again.
"N...No she wouldn't want that." Kanou finally say. Never in my life have I ever seen him do this not even for Yukimura but what do you expect when your feelings are so deep for someone.
***Tomoyo***P.O.V
"So now do you understand why Kanou is upset at you." Mizuki says to me.
"Not exactly..." I say feeling super stupid.
"Well I may not have an exact answer to why Kanou is mad but I do know this you should apologize to Kanou face to face and it should only be you two." She says before getting off the couch.
"I'm going to go help out with Megumi's party I've done all I can here." She states before walking off.
I hesitantly get up and walk to Kanou's room and knock on his door. There is no answer at first so I knock again.
"Kanou it's me...Tomoyo I know you're not the happiest with me at the moment but...thing is I need to talk to you." I say in a low calm voice. The door slowly opens and Kanou stands there with a blank expression. Without another second Kanou wraps his arms around me and puts me into a tight hug. I was surprised at first but I bury my face in his chest and hug him back, tears streamed down my face.
I missed him so much what if I died I would of never got to see Kanou ever again.
"Kanou I'm so sorry I didn't realize how much you worried about me I didn't mean for you to go through all that pain alone." I say as we hug.
"I'm...I'm sorry too Tomoyo I just missed you so much." He says now staring into my eyes. We both just sit there for what feels like hours. I know one thing I am so thankful that I'm still alive because I am enjoying this moment right now.
On the day of Megumi's birthday everything was going great except for Megumi who was freaking out all over the place.
"Are all the decorations ready? Hey where's all the party drinks? Mizuki did you get all the music set up? Wait what if the guests don't like these decorations?!" Megumi says freaking out.
"Relax Megumi everything is going to go according to plan." Yukimura says assuring her.
"But what if it doesn't though?" Megumi says staring to doubt herself again.
"It will Megumi and if it doesn't I'll have all second semester to make fun of you about it." I say giggling as I hung up more streamers.
"Tomoyo!" Misaki scolded me.
"What I was just kidding. Megumi your party is going to be perfect now do us a favor and stop worrying so much." I say.
"Yeah I guess you're right Mrs. Stupid." She says with a smirk and I roll my eyes in response. Yep this party is just going to be a great one.
By now most of the guests have arrived at the party including Megumi's parents and her friends from her old school.I was hanging out over by the kitchen eating some of the chocolates we have set out.
"Hey Tomoyo can you do me a favor and get all of Megumi's gifts from upstairs?" Mizuki asks me she seemed to be busy with putting the finishing touches on Megumi's cake.
"Sure no problem." I say heading upstairs. When I finally make it to Mizuki's and Misaki's room or guest room I should say I looked everywhere for the presents.
"Where the heck are they?" I say aloud to myself but then I see something pink and sparkly coming from under the bed. I crouch down and see a bunch of gifts.
"Bingo!" I say aloud when suddenly I hear the guest room door close I turn around but I don't see anyone there.
It must of just been my imagination or something. Before I can crouch down again and get the presents something covers my mouth like a really cold hand. Then I realized it actually is a hand. I try to scream but nothing would come out.
When I am finally released I take some breathes as well as coughing.
I turn around to see who it was and immediately shock fills my face.
"Hello again Tomoyo I missed you so much." The voice says and I cringe at every word he says.
