Now please enjoy chapter 29!


School started again that Monday and I walked through the building in a different feel. I felt much more comfortable with myself then I have ever been. It was as if something has changed about me. Was it because of yesterday when I woke up to find him still beside me, waiting for me to wake up? I didn't want to over react and decided to just leave it as it was.

I was walking through the school halls while wearing my cheerleading uniform. My mind was still full of Shiki's face. This feeling was something I would like to keep for a while since we haven't been talking much. Though there was something inside me that screamed of wanting the guy. He obviously still cared for me and I still cared for him.

I was headed to first period. The gym was packed as always and I found the cheerleaders in a group stretching. The first thing I did when I entered the gym was to look towards the basketball team area. There was a pack of them hanging out and talking. I winced, trying to find the familiar captain. Where was he? Maybe he hasn't arrived yet.

As I bit my lip and kept on searching, Cassidy walked up beside me and bumped me in the shoulder. "Hey girl what are you staring at?"

I immediately closed my eyes as if I had just snapped out of a daydream. "Oh nothing. I was just out of the zone for a second."

The blond beauty nodded and then sat on the gym floor to stretch her legs. I decided to join her. "So…how was the party?"

I had told Cassidy about attending Erik's party instead of the homecoming dance. She was just as hesitant as Yuki, Ruka, and Yori. I didn't blame them. They were right from the beginning.

"Ummm…it was bad…really bad." I nervously laughed and crisscrossed my legs while she continued with her stretching. "You guys were right. I shouldn't have gone to the party."

Cassidy pressed her lips together before saying," What did he do that was so bad?"

I looked away totally embarrassed. How was I going to tell her Erik almost screwed me over in the hallway? There was no other way I could have said it nicely unless she blows up and decides to go beat the Martin football player up. This girl was tough as rocks. It'll take a bulldozer to stop her.

"Rima…" She looked at me suspiciously. "What did he do?"

I scratched my head and sighed still trying to form my words. This was harder than expected.

"He kind of tried to do it with me."

She winced trying to understand what I was saying. "Do it with you? You mean as in…" Then that immediately got her eyes to widen and her mouth to make a shape of an 'O'.

"Yeah…" I rubbed the bottom of my lip uncomfortably. "But Shiki was there to stop it. He actually gave him a good beating."

Cassidy smiled at the news that I wasn't hurt or screwed over. "So Shiki huh?"

My face turned a light shade of pink the way she said his name. Shiki's face then reappeared in my mind. I couldn't stop thinking about him now that she had reminded me of the chestnut haired boy. He was like a part of me that could never be erased.

"You know he's staring at you right now." She smiled showing her pearly whites.

I gave her a confusing look. "He is?"

The blond did not turn away from my eyes but she only moved her left eyebrow giving me a signal on where he was. I looked to her left and saw Shiki standing around the basketball boys with his jersey on. He had both of his arms on his hips while talking to his teammates. Then he turned to my direction and our eyes locked. I didn't bother to look away and we continued to gaze at one another. It was something we haven't done in so long. I only smiled at him while he returned the smile with a wink.

Oh my goodness he winked at me! Should I return it? NO! That would be weird! Just smile again and turn away.

I did just that and returned to Cassidy's mischievous face.

"Awww you still like him." She teased me.

I rolled my eyes. "We're just friends. It's slowly developing though."

"So," Cassidy tapped her chin and smirked. "What if you two start becoming more then just 'friends', will I be seeing a couple soon?"

My smile turned into a frown. That was something I did not want to talk about now or anytime at all. I had not told her about the promise I made with Yuki, Yori, and Ruka. Though it was for my own good will and I don't want to make the same mistake again. Yet, I had never seen this coming. I did not expect Shiki to actually chase me like this.

"Ummm…probably not?"

"What do you mean probably not? Honestly Rima, when I heard he played you like that, I hated his guts. But now that I see you happy because of him, I think things can work out. I mean, who doesn't deserve a second chance? Give him a chance when it comes."

She still didn't get it. I didn't blame her though since I hadn't told her about the promise.

All I did was shrug. "We'll see."


The next day, Tuesday, afterschool came rolling and that meant after school practice for all the athletes. I was in the girl's locker room changing into my uniform.

"Alright everyone has ten minutes to get changed and meet me in the main gym for a group meeting." Coach Mai yelled from her office and we all replied with a 'Yes Ma'am!'

I was putting on my deodorant and shoes. I wondered what she wanted to talk to us about. My mind shrugged it off as I placed all my belongings into my locker and headed to the main gym with the rest of the girls.

When we were there, the other athletes were there as well as the football players, basketball, tennis, and many more. Then I began to really get suspicious…what's going on? It must have been major important since they had to summon the guys.

As I was trying to find a seat, I noticed Ichijo waving frantically at me to come sit beside him. My lips formed a smile I made my way to the football captain who was also sitting next to my ex, Shiki. My heart began to beat rapidly the closer I got to them. To play it safe, I sat on the right side of Ichijo while the chestnut haired boy sat on his left side. It was a good distance to make sure he doesn't see me doing something stupid.

"What are we here for?" I asked him as I also saw their football coach on the gym floor talking to my coach.

Ichijo shrugged. "I have no idea. They didn't inform me on anything."

"I heard something on the line of a fundraiser." Shiki kept his stare on the coaches as if trying to read their lips.

We shrugged and waited for everyone to settle down. Then the coaches began. "So, this is a last minute gathering and you're probably wondering why you all are here."

The crowd of jocks whispered amongst themselves while the coaches explained.

"Well since our homecoming game against Martin was a total success, I have asked the principle and district if we could celebrate our hard work with a winter banquet held before we go into winter break."

Everyone looked at one another in excitement. I on the other hand thought that would be a great idea since everyone has worked so hard. It was nice to see recognition from the district.

"But here's the catch," the crowd then groaned. There has always been a catch which could be either good news or bad news. Though, everything has to come with a price if the athletic department wanted to get their way. ", we have to do a fundraiser. The school agreed to pay for half of our expenses but the rest we have to earn ourselves, so what Coach Mai and I have come up with was a car wash. It will be held this Saturday in front of SmashBurger at the Highlands."

Everyone cheered in excitement as we were dismissed from the gym to practice. I was excited to for the car wash not to mention I might see Shiki shirtless. My face turned a dark shade of red as I imagined seeing his nicely toned body and muscular arms. Oh my goodness that would be so heavenly…

As I sat in the bleachers daydreaming about the chestnut haired boy's body, a hand touched my shoulder and I looked up to find Shiki inches from my face. "Rima, aren't you going?"

I suddenly blinked rapidly as I noticed we were the only ones on the bleachers while everyone else was headed to practice. Have I been dazed for that long? It only felt like a second.

"Ummm…" I hesitated. "Yeah, thanks."

He smiled and helped me down from the bleachers. We walked together until I had to part ways with him at the door where he was to be outside on the blacktop and I was to go up to the locker room. When I made it to the locker room, I found the coach just rounding up the girls for a last meeting.

"Alright ladies, on Saturday I want everyone to come dressed in shorts and crop tops. I know it's getting kind of chilly so bring a sweater. Sadly I don't have your lettermen yet but they are coming in soon. Does everyone understand?"

"Yes Coach Mai!" We chorused

"Very good, now get to practicing."


It was Friday, a day before the annual car wash sponsored by the athletic department. Over the week, there have been announcements about the carwash and that the school should come out and support their fellow athletes. Each wash costs 10 dollars. I thought it was kind of pricey for a car wash but since it's going to be held at the Highlands, there was bound to be wealthy people wanting to support their fellow schools.

I was in eighth period English class and we were set into groups to discuss about whatever the teacher wanted us to talk about. Yuki and Yori were of course in my group. The three of us had neglected the English topic and started talking about something else.

"Hey you guys should come out to the carwash tomorrow and visit me." I smiled as Yuki and Yori were just finished talking about the latest gossip.

Yuki groaned knowing it was about school. "I would Rima but I don't want to pay 10 dollars just to get my car washed. I mean, I don't even have a car."

"Kaname does…" Yori mumbled under her breath as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

I nodded towards Yori telling her she had a point. "You don't have to get your car washed. Just come out and visit me."

The brunette shrugged. "I'll see what's on my agenda for tomorrow."

"Let me guess," I held up my hand stopping Yuki from pulling out her pink journal. "You're probably going to go shopping, shopping, more shopping, eat at a fancy restaurant, and spend time with Kaname."

Yuki glared at me as if I had caught her in an act. "Is my life really that easy to predict?"

Yori and I nodded. "Kinda."

"Well if I don't show up tomorrow, I know who else will." She shot a devilish stare at Yori who blushed madly.

"W-what?" The short haired girl stammered as if she had been caught doing something illegal.

"You know you're going to go visit Aido."

I then remembered that Aido will be participating in the wash. My smile then turned into a smirk. "Oooh, that's hot. You know there is a 99% chance that the guys will be shirtless."

"Stop it!" Yori blushed madly, hiding her face from the embarrassing teases.

"Speaking of Aido, is Ruka going to come since Kain will be at the wash?" I looked at Yuki who only shrugged.

"I really don't know. There is a high possibility though."

We three sat back and stared at each other. Then Yuki broke the silence. "Okay whatever; let's just get back to work."


I woke up at 9 a.m. on a Saturday morning. The day of the annual Car Wash has arrived and I was to meet everyone outside of SmashBurger before 10 a.m. I got out of bed and entered the restroom to freshen up. After taking a shower and brushing my teeth, I made my way into my massive closet. Digging through my drawer that had my entire crop tops and bandeau's I pulled out an Acid Wash Denim Bustier and Soffe low-rise mini mesh cheer shorts.

This looked acceptable for a car wash. I checked myself out in my vertical mirror before heading downstairs to meet my mom who was busy reading the new Style Magazine while sipping her Frappuccino.

"Mom I'm ready!" I placed both of my hands on my hips and smiled cheerfully.

She stared at me with an eyebrow raised. "You're wearing something quite revealing in October? Aren't you going to be cold?"

I nodded in reply. "I bought a sweater just in case and the news said that it'll be in the high 70's. So it's going to be cool today."

"Alright then let's go kiddo." She got her keys and we got into the car.

It didn't take long to reach SmashBurger. My mom pulled up to the burger restaurant and dropped me off. "Call me when you've finished!"

I waved my mom off as she drove away. There were already a bunch of participants here all from every sport. Of course the cheerleading girls wore their best attire for something like this. All the boys came in t-shirts but we knew those will be coming off soon after they get soaked from messing around too much. I walked over to the cheerleading girls and began counting.

"13…14…" Hmmm…I recounted the girls again and still the same outcome. "Who's missing?"

Cassidy stared at the group and rolled her eyes. "The bitch."

I pursed my lips together and put my hands on my hips. Amanda must be running late or she's somewhere chatting with who knows what. "Is she even here yet?"

"Yeah but she disappeared somewhere."

I annoyingly sighed and decided to look for her. I made my way through the group of boys that was preparing for the wash. They had buckets, big sponges, towels, and hoes. The coaches had already arrived to supervise us in case someone decides to do something reckless.

"Rima!" Coach Mai waved me over to her. "I want you girls to advertise on the sidewalk and across the streets." She handed me about a dozen posters saying 'CAR WASH! $10! HELP SUPPORT SUMMIT HIGH!'

I nodded and held the posters. "Oh Coach apparently Amanda is nowhere in sight. Have you seen her?"

"Amanda?" Coach looked around the parking lot filed with jocks. "Don't worry about her just get the girls prepared."

Cassidy jogged up to me and looked at the posters. "Let me help you." She grabbed half of the stack and began to hand them out to the girls.

"Alright," I gathered every one of the cheerleaders with me. "I want half of you to go across the street and the other half spread out on the sidewalks."

The half began to cross the street when the light turned red. Since there was about only a dozen posters, that left three short. I decided to go without a poster and simply hold pom poms. I turned to look at the boys to spot Shiki just arriving and getting out of his car.

Oh well he's just in time. A smile crept onto my face as I began to cheer for the cars to come our way. We received a few honks from the guy drivers and some flirting yells as they would roll down their windows to get our attention. We would reply back by waving and motioning them into the carwash.

The Car wash started to pile up as cars began to come in. There were about 7 groups of guys working on the vehicles. That was 70 dollars right off the bat. This was easier than expected. We lured more of the male population then the females. I decided to borrow some of the guys so that they could maybe help with our adverting.

I made my way over coach Mai who was busy collecting the money. Just when I was about to ask whether we could borrow some of the guys, a group of cheerleaders who were supposed to be across the street came running over to us.

"Coach, Rima!" The girls seemed out of breath from all the running. I blinked a few times wondering why everyone looked so frantic. Maybe a girl fainted or something? I have no idea.

"What are the matter ladies?" Coach asked while I stood by her curiously. "Why aren't you across the street bringing customers?"

"Martin High School kicked us off!" One of the girls, Lynn, cried as she pointed across the street where we saw a pack of Martin Kids dressed in Blue and Yellow. Those were definitely their school colors.

"What in the world? Martin can just have a car wash just across the street from us!" Coach grumbled under her voice. I could see the anger in her eyes as she bit her lip and called for Coach Jefferson over. He was watching the boys wash the cars just in case one decides to start a water fight.

"What's wrong?" Coach Jefferson asked as he wiped the sweat off of his forehead.

"Those Martin roaches are holding a car wash just across the street from us! Who the hell does that?!" I stepped a few feet back knowing she was about to go off on someone.

Coach Mai has a history with the Martin coach. There is a rumor that the female coach who teaches the cheerleaders over at Martin used to be rivals back in high school. That was what I heard but I might not be so sure though my conclusion might be right because she sure does give a big fit about it.

Coach Jefferson leered at the athletes dressed in yellow and blue. "They must be getting back at us for their loss at the homecoming game. But I don't think they'll have any effect on us since we kicked their ass in football so don't worry so much."

"NO!" She exploded. "I want those eyesores out! If no one is going to do it then fine, I'll go over there and give them a piece of my mind…"

I stopped her. "Coach please calm down." I hustled her to stop. "I don't think it's good to add fuel to that fire."

Coach Mai stared at me intently.

Oooh crap, did I make it worse?

"You're right Rima." She put a hand on my shoulder. "If we can't fight them physically then we'll just have to fight them directly!"

"Isn't that the same thing?"

Coach ignored my comment. "I got an idea! We can use you Rima!"

"M-me?" I pointed to myself. "Why me?"

"I want you to lure all the costumers away from the Martin's car wash to here!"

"How is Rima going to do that?" The girls asked confusingly.

Coach Mai turned her head over to where the boys were washing the cars. Then I noticed she was pointing at a specific guy. And that guy was none other than the chest nut haired boy.

My mouth went dry. Oh no…

Coach Jefferson too had an idea on what her plan was. "Are you really going to take advantage of the fact we have 2 models here?"

"You bet I am."

I gulped as she called Shiki over to us. I immediately started to straighten my hair just in case it was a mess. I can't let Shiki see me with clown hair! My clothes looked okay too, nothing too revealing or trashy. Though I think I look covered up then most of the cheerleaders here because some are wearing shorts 2 sizes too small.

When Shiki approached us he was soaked from the car wash. His hair was slicked back and his shirt was completely drenched which made the white t-shirt hug his body revealing his toned abs and muscular chest. My heart literally sank and I lightly blushed. I still remembered the photo shoot a while back when he was shirtless. Those images are forever glued in my mind and I can't do anything about it.

Oh gosh I hope I'm not drooling…that would be so embarrassing.

"What's up coach?" He stared at me before making eye contact with the woman that called him over.

Coach Mai's expression changed from her angry glare into smiling eyes and a sweet smile. She grabbed Shiki's arms and dragged him next to me. "I want you two to go lure all the costumers from Martin over here."

"What?" I stammered in shock. "B-but coach, isn't that like terrorizing their wash too?"

"Oh Rima don't be a scardy cat. It's not terrorizing if no one gets hurt!" She put on her fakest smile. I gulped knowing she was serious.

"I like the idea." Shiki said emotionless.

I turned to give him a look of disbelief. "Are you crazy?"

"Awww see there Rima, if anything goes wrong, Shiki will be there to look after you. Now go!" Coach waved us off.

After giving in, we headed towards the crosswalk. I was still annoyed with coach doing this to us. I understand Martin is rivals with us it's just I get kind of embarrassed when she uses us just because we're models. Shiki walked beside me as if he had no concern about this. I don't know how he's no annoyed. Maybe he's used to all of this? I don't have the self-esteem like him.

The chest nut haired boy noticed me staring at him so he glance his blue eyes into mine. I flinched and turned away a little flushed. A little chuckle escaped his mouth as we finally made it to the stop light to cross the road.

"I wonder what Kaname will say when he sees us." Shiki watched the street lights in case it turned green.

"Kaname's there?"

"Of course. He IS the captain of the football team at Martin."

"Oh yeah." I just remembered. Then my thoughts suddenly flashed to Erik. Butterflies swirled in my stomach as I prayed that he isn't participating at the wash. "I'm a little concerned."

"About what?"

"Erik…"

From the corner of my eyes, I could see Shiki's arm muscles tense up. His eyebrows furrowed a little as his nose scrunched up.

Woopsy…

"I…I won't let him lay a hand on you." He ocean blue eyes stayed away from mine. It was as if he was trying to avoid my stare. "But I think the beat down I gave him a while back might keep you safe from now on."

A faint smile formed on the edge of my mouth when I knew he was still protective of me. Though I don't know how much he has changed, all I know is he's still looking after me. That made me very happy.

As we waited for the lights to turn green, I noticed the Cassidy's appearance approaching me.

"Rima, so I heard about from Lynn that you two are going to sabotage their wash huh?" The pretty blond asked while playing an amusing smirk on her lips.

"W-we're not 'sabotaging' anything!" I stuttered knowing this was the wrong thing to do.

Shiki chuckled at my defensiveness. "You worry too much. And for the record, it IS sabotage."

I glared at the chest nut haired boy. He just simply smiled and then noticed the light turn green. "Looks like we should walk."

Cassidy waved us off. "If you need backup, just yell for me, I'll be with the other girls." And she walked off.

Shiki and I started to cross the busy street. There were a few honks here and there to get our attention but we kept going. When we made it to the other side, I saw a crowd of Martin students washing cars and mingling with one another. I inhaled and exhaled. I can't believe I'm doing this. I have a feeling they might trample me or something. This was a bad idea…really really bad idea.

I took another glance at the crowd and turned to look at Shiki worriedly. "I don't know if we should do this. Let's turn back." Just when I was about to walk back, a hand grabbed onto my arm and stopped me.

"Are you really that afraid?" He looked at me concerned. "Just stay by my side. I won't let anyone hurt you okay?"

I bit my lower lip. Shiki's gently smile seemed to have hypnotized me into falling for him all over again. He made me feel this certain ways that no other guy has ever done. He's just too perfect. Most of the reason why was because I was still in love with the guy. I'll admit it for the hundredth time. I loved him…not A LOT…but I liked him enough to get butterflies in my stomach.

Shiki offered out his hand. "Let's go?"

I didn't hesitate to take it and we both walked hand and hand together towards what seemed to be our death sentence. Shiki and I decided to walk around like casual people would. We were secretly spying on the enemy from a far.

When we decided to take a closer look, someone's shadow hovered behind us. "Well if you look at that. Why would Summit kids like you step on Martin territory?"

Shiki and I paused and slowly turn around to find a shirtless football player glaring at us as if we were criminals. We've already been caught?

As I looked as if I were hyperventilating, Senri stared at the tall athlete eye to eye. "We're not here to cause any problems."

Yes we are…

"Then I suggest you leave." The Martin guy said dangerously. "Or else I'll have to-"suddenly, the boy froze when he set his eyes into my blue orbs. I gave him a funny look as to why he kept looking at me like that.

Shiki seemed to notice the guys freeze. "Hey, don't look at her like-"

"A-are you Rima Touya?" He shuddered embarrassingly. I noticed his cheeks turning a shade darker.

Shiki and I exchanged glances. We knew where this was going. He obviously knew who we are.

"Uhhh…yeah."

The boy's eyes gleamed in excitement. He then turned to Shiki and pointed. "A-and you're Shiki Senri?"

"Haha, yeah."

"W-whao. I heard about you two going to Summit High but I never thought I'd actually get to meet you guys. I'm Marcus by the way."

We greeted him. "Hey Marcus," Shiki began. ", can we ummm, check out what you guys are doing over there?"

I held in my breath hoping he wouldn't notice our plan. This was intense, but the guy seemed nice so we'll just have to see.

"Well…" Marcus scratched his damp hair. "I don't know if coach will like it that I brought Summit people over, but you guys are just are just going to lay low."

Shiki's face lit up knowing he let us through. "Thanks man. Now don't tell anyone we're here got it?"

Marcus nodded. "Don't worry about it."

We began to walk further into the Martin territory. It was a risky process but when we finally made it behind a building, where most of the customers were waiting to get their wash, it was go time.

Shiki and I began going up to people and introducing ourselves. The crowd contained mostly teens so every one of them knew exactly who we were. The outcome was, they complied and went back into their cars to drive across the street to the Summit's carwash.

After about 10 minutes of recruiting costumers and without getting caught, we were able to get about 15 cars. I was surprised on the level of security around here. Most of the cheerleaders on the other side of the building and the guys and coaches were too busy running the wash, this lead to an easy sneak by for us.

When we finished gathering a certain amount of costumers, it was time to head back. Sneaking out was easier then sneaking in. After we made it across the bustling streets and final on the safe zone, I let out a heavy sigh.

"Rima, Shiki!" We looked over to find Coach Mai running over to us. "You guys are amazing! We're o packed with customers!"

"Well it wasn't that hard." Shiki smirked confidently.

I rolled my eyes.

"Now that we have so many costumers, I want you two to stay over here and drag even MORE people in!"

"But shouldn't I go back there and help with the other guys?" The chest nut haired boy asked.

Coach Mai shook her head. "You two stay put! I'll help with the business. I have to go back now. I'm expecting great results from you."

When the demanding woman walked away, I turned to Shiki. "Sorry for my coach's greediness."

"No it's okay. She's pretty cool if you ask me." A little smile formed on his lips. "Besides, I think it's time to get serious."

"Serious?" I questioned.

Shiki held the bottom of his t-shirt and lifted it off himself revealing his muscular chest and tones abs. My face turned hot red as I saw his body. Did he get bigger from the last time I saw him shirtless or am I just dreaming? He was so freaking hot I couldn't bear to burn my eyes even more at his chest.

"What?" I snapped out of my day dream and looked up to the amused guy. He obviously knew I was checking him out.

"N-nothing!" I turned away and rubbed my cheeks to get them to calm down.

Shiki snickered behind me. "You're so cute when you blush."

Damn it! He thought I was blushing at his chest…but I was…

"L-let's just go before Coach Mai gets mad."


For the rest of the day, Shiki and I have been working together gathering up costumers. The Martin kids had no idea about our presents and at the end of the day, we made more than a thousand dollars. That was more than enough when you think about it. 10 dollars for a wash was a total rip off but I had a strong feeling it was because of me and Shiki. We had a lot of reactions from the people about us being models and all. That led to total publicity and once again, Martin High has lost to us once again.

Everyone was cleaning and preparing for the leave. It was a long day since the temperature seemed to get hotter.

I was helping the guys put down the tents and stacking water buckets. As I did I heard two familiar voices call for me.

"Rima!" I turned to find Ruka and Yori skipping towards me.

"Oh hey guys. When did you get here?"

Yori jumped on me. "We were with Aido and Kain all this time. You were too busy with advertising that we didn't want to disturb you."

"Speaking of disturbing, we didn't want to ruin the 'moment' between you and Shiki." Ruka giggled and nudged me on the arm.

"W-what?" I blushed.

"Don't play dumb, we saw you and him flirting over there." Ruka smirked evilly. "I see you guys are making good progress with each other. I won't be surprised if you two aren't getting back together soon."

I rolled my eyes ignoring her comment and asked," Where's Yuki?"

"She's across the street visiting Kaname." Yori fiddled with her golden hair. "We're about to head out to the Highlands soon and eat at a roadhouse. Want to tag along?"

I immediately nodded since I haven't eaten anything since morning.

"Okay! We'll see you at Yuki's car after you're done!" Ruka and Yori walked away and left me to finish cleaning up.

Shiki then walked up to me. "Great day, huh, Rima?"

I turned around to find him still shirtless and hot as ever. "Yeah it was."

"Are you doing anything after this?" He asked. "I'm about to head out with a couple of friends to eat but if you want I can take you somewhere."

My heart sank knowing he would decline a friend's hangout or me. Shiki was just too sweet.

"No, I'm about to head out with some friends too." I frowned. "But thanks for asking."

The chest nut haired boy nodded. "Oh okay, well I guess I'll get going."

I don't know why but I felt awfully bad. As he walked away, my mouth unthinkingly shouted his name. "Shiki wait!"

He stopped and turned around. "Yeah?"

Then my body began to move on its own and it somehow, I DON'T KNOW HOW, but I ended up giving him a kiss on the cheek. Right when I knew what I had just done, my face turned red. And when I said red it was beat red.

Shiki's expression was blank. Crap I screwed up this time.

"I-I'm sorry! I don't know what got into me-"and before I could explain to myself the chest nut wrapped his arms around my waist and implanted a deep kiss onto my lips.

The kiss wasn't long but it felt as if he were longing to feel them. His tender lips brushed against mine as I didn't seem to mind it. When the seconds of heaven ended, he immediately pulled away blushing as well.

"Sorry for the sudden attack." Senri looked away from me and scratched his messy hair.

A little curl formed on the end of my lips where he kissed it. "It's okay. I don't really care either."

He turned to look at me and I looked at him. We were both trapped in our stares for a while until coach Mai came over. "Alright kidos! Hurry up so I can get out of here."

Shiki snickered and waved me off. "I'll see you later then."

I nodded in approval and said faintly. "Yeah see you later."
