The tears kept running down my face without end as I continued to run. I didn't know where I was running to. I just went where my legs took me. I've been running for at least five minutes at this point. As I continued to run, I found myself on the shore of the Mana River...This was where it all began. After I had stopped running and came to a halt, I looked out over the waters surface. It looked so beautiful as the light from the moon reflected off of it. As I was looking out over it, so many memories began to flood back.

When Yuji confessed his 'love' for me, all of the times we walked along the river, all the dates we had, when he gave me those roses, when he gave me that pendant, all of those feelings...the ones that we both shared...Was all of that fake? Did none of that mean nothing to him? I fall to my knees in tears and continue to cry. After awhile of being there, I hear his voice coming from behind me.

"Shana?" I hear him say my name quietly

~Yuji's POV~

I continue to run after Shana, but at some point during the pursuit I lost track of her. I cursed myself for doing so. I couldn't stop blaming myself for what had transpired.

"Damn it, I'm an idiot. I should have figured this would've happened. Shana...I love her with all my heart. There's no way I would ever leave HER for anyone else. I have to find her!" I thought to myself as I continued to run.

I continued running trying to find her. After awhile of running, I realized where she must have run to. The Mana River. I began to run in that direction and made it there pretty quickly. But as I was running across the bridge, I saw Shana on the ground crying. I frowned when I saw her. After I crossed the bridge, I slow walked down toward Shana.

"Shana?" I called her name quietly.

She turned toward me slowly before looking away continuing to sob as she stood up. I saw her eyes were blood shot red from the crying she had been doing. I was such an idiot for letting this happen. "What do you want? Shouldn't you be with Kitigaya? You love her right?"

I felt a sharp sting in my heart when she said that. "Shana, it wasn't what it looked like..."

"Then what the hell was it!? I saw you kiss her! How long had you been seeing her!? I bet you've been seeing her for awhile, haven't you!?" She asked with both a heartbroken and angry tone.

"You're wrong, Shana! I love you and you know that!" I yelled back.

"STOP LYING! I SAW YOU KISSING HER! YOU DIDN'T EVEN PULL BACK WHEN SHE DID! YOU DON'T LOVE ME AT ALL! JUST GO AWAY!" Shana scream at me, more tears falling from her eyes.

"I'm not lying, Shana! I love you more than anything else!" I said as I walked closer to her.

I wrapped my arms around her bringing her into a tight and loving embrace, but she kept attempting to break out of my arms.

"Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Let me...go..." She begins crying in my arms again.

I hug her tightly and begin to sob with her and both fall to th ground. I hugged her as tightly as I possibly could. "I'm so so sorry, Shana. I'll never let that happen again." After she calms down, we sit on the stairs in front of the river, holding her hand tightly.

"I love you, Shana. I love you more than anyone in the world. I promise you that. Kitigaya kissed me, I didn't kiss her." I explained to her.

She didn't look at me, but just frowned. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I tried to. But you ran off before I could explain myself." I said. "Look into my eyes, Shana. Do I like someone who would cheat on his girlfriend?"

She looks deep into my eyes and a few moments later, I felt her hug me tightly as I hugged her back as tight as I could to let her know that I'll never let her go. I kissed the top of her head repeatedly.

"I'm so sorry, Shana. This is all my fault. I never should have agreed to go outside with Nakamura. If I hadn't hadn't done that, none of this would have happened." I say in a guilty tone.

I feel her shake her head and hear her begin talking. "No. It's my fault for not giving you the chance to explain everything. I'm sorry, Yuji."

We both give each other apologetic looks. She inches her face closer to mine and I close the gap between our lips and engaged in a soft, but very passionate kiss. This was probably the most passionate kiss we've had. After we break apart, I place my forehead against hers. I see another tear roll down her cheek and I wipe it away.

I wrap my arms around her tightly as she begins to cry again. I tighten my grip to send her a message that I'll never let her go. "It hurt so much, Yuji...It hurt so much to think you would have chosen another girl over me. That you'd leave me. I was so scared that you'd leave me..." She continued to sob into my chest.

"It hurt me too, Shana...I came so close to losing you. I never want to go through that again. I never want to lose you. I love you too much..." I said with a few sobs. I tighted my grip around her.

I place a kiss on her forehead as I entwin my fingers with hers, looking her in the eyes. "I love you, Shana. There's nobody else that I would rather be with. Ever. The only girl I want to be with is you. The only girl I want to hold hands with is you. The only girl I ever want to kiss is you. The only girl I ever want to go on dates with is you. The only girl I want to make truly happy is you. You're the only girl for me, Shana. I promise you that."

She slams her lips against mine as I return her kiss. After a few moments, I break away and stand up. I reach my hand out to her.

"Come on. We should get back." I smile at her.

She takes my hand and we begin to walk along the path back to school. Along the way, she hugs my arm and rests her head on my shoulder as we walk. When we get back to the school, we see that the dance is already over and that everyone is gone.

"This is all my fault, Shana." I say with an ashamed tone.

I feel place her hand on mine and see her shake her head smiling. "It's not your fault." She kisses my cheek.

I take my hand out of her's hand stand in front of her and pull out my phone putting a soft instrumental song on and set on the ground next to us. I hold my hand out to her and smile. "Might I have this dance with you, M'lady?" I ask with the worst British accent.

She smiles lovingly and places her hand in mine. "Yes, you may."

Shana places her hands and head against my chest as I place my hands on her waist and we begin to dance together slowly. The two of us do this for about the next ten to twenty minutes. We had completely forgotten about what had happened earlier. And I was glad. We both look at each other lovingly. After a moment, she places her head back on my chest as we sway from side to side slowly.

"Yuji...Promise me something..." She says in a quiet voice. "Promise me...Promise me that you'll never leave me..."

I place a kiss on her the top of her head and smile as I place my cheek against the top of her head. "I promise, Shana. I promise I'll never leave you."

I was glad that this entire situation was cleared up and over with. I never want to go through that again. I don't want to lose her. I don't want to lose the person that I care for and love the most. She means the world to me and I never want to lose her. She's everything to me. And I feel that just because of this incident, we became even closer than we were before. And that made me happy.

"I love you, Shana." I said as I place a kiss on her lips.
