"Speech"

*Flashback*

Arc 1: A New World Chapter 7: A New Beginning

"Does it ever bug you when you know someone is hiding something but they won't tell you?" a certain auburn haired girl asked as she laid her chin between both her palms.

"Yes but there isn't much we could do about it." answered the chocolate colored hair girl who happened to be siting down next to the auburn haired girl.

"What do you mean Aya?" Sana asked as she looked over at her best friend.

"I mean that no matter how much it bugs us, we can't really do anything about it because its there secret to keep. All we could do is hope that they will someday trust us enough to tell us." she answered while working on her homework.

Sana frowned slightly. "But what if they never learn to trust us and don't tell us? What will we do after?"

Aya sighed sadly and stopped writing. She looked over at her best friend with a sad smile. "Then all we could do is support them as much as we can and hope the best for them."

Sana sadly looked down at the table where the pile of homework laid. She didn't want to give up on Hayama but at the same time, she didn't know what to do. It had been at least two weeks since he told her to leave him alone and they haven't really talked much since. She's tried to talk to him but he would either ignore her or push her away. She also had to be careful that she didn't ignore her friends again. Naozumi seem to be happier lately then usual and it warmed her heart to know she wasn't hurting him anymore.

"Sana.."

She looked up to see the smiling face of Aya and said "What?"

"Give him time. I'm sure Hayama will eventually talk to you again. He's probably just going through some problems or has a lot going on at home or something." Aya said.

"What the ?" Sana immediately became confused. 'How did she know it was Hayama?'

Aya giggled. "We all know your concerned for him silly. Your always looking at him with a worried expression and you're always trying to talk to him. It's kinda obvious. Some might say that you even grew to have a crush on him."

Aya knew Sana had been worried about Hayama. She could tell by the way Sana would stop and stare at him in the middle of a conversation at school, or when she would try and talk to him. She didn't think that she liked him, but this was Sana; Sana was unpredictable at times.

Sana's face then grew hot and a blush formed on her cheeks.

"Aya! I do not like him!" She yelled and crossed her arms with the blush growing bigger and bigger with every passing second.

Aya giggled once more. "That's just some people have been saying, but if you don't like him, then you don't like him."

"I don't! I just want to be his friend! Gahh!" Sana screamed frustrated.

"Haha okay okay. You don't need to get worked up by it... but you have to admit that he is very good-looking.. maybe more good-looking then you first thought Naozumi was." Aya teased while poking Sana in the arm.

Sana's face only grew more red at Aya's statement. She then jumped on Aya and covered her mouth with her hands.

"Aya! Shh! No ones suppose to know that! You're the only one who knows that!" Sana, who was embarrassed, quickly stated. Aya giggle once more under Sana's hand and proceeded to push Sana off of her.

"Oh Sana. I was only teasing. No ones here anyway." Aya giggled once more.

Sana looked away and crossed her arms, embarrassed still by Aya's comment. Yes,s he did think Naozumi was good-looking, but she never thought anymore of it. Naozumi was her best friend. She could never see him in any other way.

"But you know he is Sana. I mean look at all the girls he's attracted. He even managed to get Ayumi's attention and the only other boy who managed to get her attention was Naozumi." Aya continued.

Sana scoffed. Ayumi certainly did have her eyes on Hayama and for some reason that... angered her. But she silently did agree with Aya. At first, when she first met him, she was to angry to take a good look at him. But when she really did take in all his features, she realized he was very... hot; as Hisea would say.

"Maybe a little." Sana said under her breath, still blushing madly.

Aya giggled more and decided that she teased her enough. "Haha so lets continue working on this shall we?"

Sana looked down at her homework and groaned. This was not something she wanted to do. Then a thought hit her head. She grinned mischievously at Aya and said "Aya?"

Aya turned around and looked at Sana but grew concerned when she saw Sana's face.

"Y-yes Sana?" she asked, slightly scared.

"Whats going on between you and Tsyoshi huh?" Sana paused. "Am I sensing a crush on the boy?" She asked with a now goofy smile on her face.

Aya then blushed and started to play with her fingers. "Oh I umm, well you see, I uhh..." Aya stuttered.

'Karma is so sweet.'

Tsyoshi sat in his lonesome apartment working on his homework and listening to the television about the latest news.

"There seems to be a lot snow lately. Don't you agree Rick?"

"Yes I do Yumi. At this rate, Japan will be covered with snow by the time Christmas rolls around!"

"I agree! But speaking of Christmas, its about three weeks away isn't it? Have you done any of your shopping?"

"Kinda sorta. I mean I haven't really had time since I have to be here at the studio most of the time haha."

"Haha of course. So Rick, what exactly are you going to get me?"

"Now why do you automatically think I'm going to get you something?"

"This is getting boring... and I can't even concentrate." Tsyoshi said to himself as he shut off the television. He sat in frustration as he thought about his best friend next door.

"He's changed. He's more cold and distant. At first I thought Sana was changing him for the better but he ended up changing for the worst. I wonder why that happened. He seemed to be opening up more when he first started talking to Sana, but now.. now he's just as cold as ever."

Tsyoshi ran his hands through his hair and yelled in frustration.

"Ahh Akito! I don't know what to do with you!"

"God damn city." said a black haired, onyx eyed man. His hair swayed with the winter wind and his body grew goosebumps. No matter where he went, he only found snow.

"God damn people." and no matter where he went, he always seen people. These people were all commoners to him. If he could, he would kill them all or make them bow down to him. But he couldn't; well yet anyway.

Ituko Oshido scanned the city of Jinbou while sitting on top of a building. His black onyx eyes roamed the city as he rubbed his arms. The black coat he had on just wasn't enough to keep him warm. He didn't expect snow to be in this place. He knew they would be far more modern then his world but he didn't expect half the things he seen here.

When he first arrived, about a week ago, his mind was set on finding Hayama. He wanted to get a secure lock on him so he could keep an eye on him and make sure that he didn't find the girl before he did. But that wasn't going so well. He put his quest for Hayama aside and ventured out for Gojo's daughter. It was much harder then he anticipated and it angered him to no end.

"Fuck... where the hell am I suppose to start anyways?" he yelled. He rubbed the back of his neck and faintly remembered what had happened before he left a week earlier.

Ituko was walking down the hallway of the castle when he felt someone grab a hold of him.

"What the hell?" he said in surprise as he felt a hand grab onto his arm. Then suddenly the hold became stronger and he was pulled into a dark room.

"Gahh!" He fell to the floor and landed on his back. He groaned in annoyance and pain.

"Shit..." he said as rubbed his head. "What the fuck was that?"

"I love when you talk dirty like that." said a seducing voice. He looked up, but because of how dark it was, he couldn't see who that voice belonged too.

Then suddenly he felt a new wait on top of him and a leg at each side of his waist. Suddenly, two hands ran down his chest and proceeded to take his armor off.

"Oh my... were you really thinking you could leave without my goodbye gift?" the voice spoke once more.

Ituko sighed and realized who the voice belonged too.

"I don't have time for this." he said as he tried to get up but a pair of hands only pushed him down.

"No.. you WILL make time for me... after all... where would you be without me Ituko?"

She leaned down and placed her lips on his. She started off by kissing him slow but then began to kiss him harder and rougher. She sneaked her tongue in his mouth and explored his hot cavern. She moaned when he grabbed onto her hips and kissed back.

He groaned when she proceeded to continue kissing him down his neck. His grip on her hips grew stronger as she continued her way down.

Out of breath, Ituko said "Kaname... I hate you..."

She smiled into his now bare chest and said "I hate you too." *1

He shuddered in memory of that night.

"That woman. I will never understand her." he grumbled to himself.

The wind picked up and he knew that was his Que to going back inside where he would be warm. He walked back into the building, but not before looking back to the city. He sinisterly smiled and began to laugh hysterically.

"This world will soon bow down at my feet."

"As you can see, the snow still hasn't stopped. We have gotten at least 4 inches of snow and it doesn't seem to show any sign of stopping. Local snow plowers have stopped picking up the snow and the locals have stopped shoveling their houses and driveways. Schools have been closed since this morning and they will remain closed until further notice."

Sana, Aya, Tsyoshi, and Naozumi were all sitting in Tsyoshi's living room watching the news about the latest concern with the snow. Sana ended up calling Tsyoshi, ignoring Aya's protest for them to hang out. He said yes and it was official that they were going to Tsyoshi's. Sana then decided to call Naozumi and see if he wanted to tag along with them and he agreed.

Sana had no idea that Tsyoshi lived next to Hayama. When he told her the directions to where he lived, she thought nothing of it. She didn't even recognize the building or anything inside until she saw him.

Kenta was his name if she remembered correctly. He had made fun of her when she walked down with Hayama from his apartment. When they made contact, she went wide eyed and he did the same. She quickly broke her stare with him and walked to the elevator. She felt a pair of eyes follow her all the way to the elevator.

Now she was sitting on Tsyoshi's couch, listening to the news, where the boy she wanted so deeply to be friends with was living right next door.

"So Sana, what's on your mind?" Naozumi asked.

Sana looked over at her best friend and answered "Nothing really... just that this was unexpected."

Naozumi rose a brow in confusion. "What was?"

"The snow of course." she answered with a smile.

"Oh.. yeah duh." He laughed slightly and looked outside the glass sliding doors.

"Hey! I'm not going not complain though! That means no school, which means no homework and no math!" she shouted as she stood up with a gleam in her eye.

Everyone sweat dropped but laughed.

"Sana haha. You would say that!" Tsyoshi answered.

"Sana your so silly." Aya giggled softly.

Sana grinned at her friends as she stood on top of Tsyoshi's table.

"Hey Sana?" Naozumi questioned.

"Yeah?" Sana answered.

"What are you doing tomorrow?" he started to blush a bit.

Sana thought about it and came to a conclusion that she didn't have anything scheduled for tomorrow since the schools were closed.

"Nothing.. why?" she asked.

"Well.. I was thinking... do you wanna come with me to the mall? Kinda like a-"

"Date?" Sana finished.

Naozumi blushed harder. "Umm yeah sorta."

Tsyoshi watched the scene in front of him unfold and for some reason, this was not what he wanted to happen. He wanted Akito and Sana to become close, not Naozumi and Sana. He didn't have anything against the purple haired boy, but deep in his gut, he had a feeling Sana and Akito were the ones that were meant to be close.

Aya watched the scene along with Tsyoshi and seen the frown on Tsyoshi's face. He was clearly upset by this and she was slightly upset too. She really thought that there was something going on between Sana and Hayama. Like Tsyoshi, she too thought that those two should grow closer.

Sana's mind was spinning. 'Did he just really ask me out on a date?'

"But you know, were just friends so it doesn't really count aha!" Naozumi laughed with a blush on his face.

Sana's blushed again for the second time that day and smiled. "Haha yeah I getcha. Sure I mean, were just friends so it doesn't really matter. It'll be just like every other day aha."

Naozumi was slightly disappointed that she seen it that way, but he was still happy that she first recognized it as a date.

"Umm I'm gunna go outside. I have to make a quick phone call. Ill be back guys!" Sana said as she raced out. Her face was still red and her head was still spinning rapidly.. She leaned against the door and breathed deeply. 'Why am I feeling like this? I don't like Naozumi.. do I?'

Sana then shook her head. 'No! I do not like him at all! He's my best friend!'

"Just relax Sana. You were just surprised. That's all." She said to her self as she began to relax.

Sana turned to her left as she laid back against the wall and seen the door to Akito's apartment. It had been sometime since she had been there. She wondered if it still had been there. She wondered if he was home. If he was, did he listen to anything they said? Did he hear when Naozumi asked if she wanted to go out with him tomorrow? If he did, did he care?

'I wish he did.'

Sana mentally kicked herself for thinking that. She blushed AGAIN as she thought about Hayama.`Why was she suddenly so interested? Why?

Suddenly, her feet began to move and walked right in front of Hayama's door. She went wide eyed as she realized her actions. She didn't know why but he brain just seem to move without her command. Before she realized it, her hand was going up to knock on that door of his. Her heart was thumping louder then it ever had before. Her head was spinning more rapidly then it did when Naozumi asked her. Suddenly, the door opened.

"Sana has been gone for a long time now huh?" Aya commented as she drank her hot chocolate.

"Maybe she's just trying to take in everything that just happened." Tsyoshi added in as he stirred his cup.

Naozumi sat in silence as he thought over what had just occurred.

"You guys think I scared her off?" Naozumi asked.

Aya and Tsyoshi both looked at Naozumi. Aya smiled and Tsyoshi shrugged.

"It's Sana. That's how she always has been. Remember, she isn't the exact;y the smartest person when it comes to love."

"I guess your right." Naozumi answered with a sigh.

"Just give her a bit a time. She'll come back in when she's ready." That was Aya's second time saying that today and she knew that all her friends needed time.

Sana went wide eyed as she saw the person standing in front of her. She opened her mouth slightly but no words came out because they were all caught in her throat. His cold, golden yellow eyes pierced right through her as she got lost in his golden puddles. His dirty blonde hair was messy as usual but it was more wild then usual. His stern, tanned face did not fail to show no emotion as he stared at her straight on.

'Say something!' Sana thought to herself. 'Oh my god.. he looks so...wait no! I have to say something now!'

"Umm hey Hayama." Sana quickly mumbled as she smiled slightly at the boy in front of her.

Nothing. He said nothing. He simply stared back at her. The air between the two grew thick enough for a knife to cut it. She then looked down and noticed that he was wearing a black long sleeve with a red paw print engraved right above where his heart would be with some black slacks. He looked good in black, she had to admit.

Akito stared at the girl standing in front of him. This was the last person he expected at the front of his door. For the past two weeks, he ignored her and pushed her away. He thought she had finally had enough because she didn't talk to him the past three days. But here she was, standing in front of his door step.

She looked surprised and anxious. Her auburn colored hair was down and not in the usual pig tails that made her look like she was nine. Her hazel colored eyes sunk right into his and in it, he could see her fear, confusion, and hope? Her pale face was red and her anxiety was clearly written. She was wearing a white long neck that had the word love engraved on the side where the hip and stomach met. She also wore navy blue jeans that were ripped and under were black tights.

Her smile was genuine though. She could hide anything behind that smile of hers and he knew it. Though she was nervous, she smiled at him. Though he pushed her away, she smiled at him. Though he treated her like shit, she still smiled at him. What was he suppose to do when she smiled at him?

"..." Silence.

"Well you see, Aya and me decided to come over to Tsyoshi's then we asked Naozumi if he wanted to come and yeah. But then I remembered that you lived here! Who would have known you lived, well he lived right next to you! Haha" She laughed slightly.

Again, he just stared at her. But his blood did begin to boil at the mention of Kamura's name. He didn't like him. He didn't like him at all.

Sana realized that he wasn't going to talk and frowned.

"I don't really know why I came here to be honest. I mean.. I do but I guess it doesn't really matter... haha. Well I guess I'll go back. Sorry to waster your time. Bye Hayama." Sana said with another smile but this time it was different. That smile she just shined at him was fake. Again, she was hiding her emotions from him.

Sana was about to walk away when she felt something take a hold on her arm. She looked back and seen no other then Hayama grabbing onto her arm, staring right into her hazel eyes.

"Haya-" but Sana was cut off when he pulled her inside.

She yelled as he pulled her inside with him. He then shut the door behind her and pushed her into the other side of the door. She winced slightly at the force he used on her as she hit the door. Suddenly a towering figure stood in front of her. Sana looked up to the figure in front of her. Hayama then placed both his hands on each side of her head and he leaned down until their lips were only inches apart.

Sana was sure that her face was redder then the color itself and was sure that the beating of her heart was audible. She felt as if her heart would burst out of her chest as Akito came closer to her. 'What is he doing? This is nothing like the Hayama I met!'

"Why did you come here..." he asked roughly.

"I uhh well you see..." Sana stuttered.. big time. She was so nervous and she felt like her knees would turn to Jello.

"Say it already..." he pushed. His cold, hard eyes gave her a glare.

She has seen many glares from the boy but this one was especially intimidating to her; especially since he was so close to her.

"I-I wanted to talk to you." she answered, still frightened.

He closed his eyes and scoffed. He pulled back and stepped back from where Sana was. She let out a sigh of relief and fell to the floor. He legs were weak and she had no energy to stay up.

"I tell you to stop talking to me, but you try to every chance you get. I tell you to leave me alone, but you continue to pursue me. I tell you to stay out of my life, yet you come running back in." he paused, then continued. "I ignore you, but it seems to make you wanna talk to me more. I push you away, but it seems to give you the will to come after me even more. Even when your belittled by Hitorashi, you don't stand down. Your always wearing a smile no matter what happens. I plainly dont understand a person like you at all."

Sana smiled in victory as Akito spoke to her. Finally she had gotten something out of the boy! She hoisted herself up and looked at Akito with a grin.

"It's because my mama gave me a reason to live so I gotta make the best of it. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be living right now. I can't let people bring me down and I can't let those around me be sad either." She took a deep breath and smiled genuinely.

"My friends are important to me. I have to make sure that they are happy because if one of us isn't happy, then none of us are. When I see someone sad, hurt, depressed, I get this instinct to help them. It's not that I want to get all in their business, it's just that I like it when everyone's happy."

She took another breather but this time smiled sadly. "I know that I can't help everyone but I want to make sure that I at least made a difference in someone's life, even if it's just one person." 'Like you...'

Akito looked at Sana in awe. He was sure to keep his composure but this girl just astonished him to no end. She was different... really different. She wasn't a fan girl that chased him everywhere. She wasn't a self centered bitch like that Ayumi girl. She was just some regular teenage girl that wanted to live her life.. to make the best of what she was given.

He was to lost for the little words he spoke. She had really blown him away with her speech. She was not the type of girl he would have suspected to say such wise things.

Sana giggled at him. She could tell that she had stunned him. She leaned back against the door she was pinned to not that long ago and said "I want to help you. I want to see you smile because life is about being happy, not about hating it."

"I don't know what made you this way and I really want to know so I can help you overcome it, but its up to you if you want to tell me or not. I'm guessing from how it's been between you and me lately that you won't tell me but I really hope that whatever it is, gets better because life isn't about moping around, its about living the best of each and every moment. "

Again, he was too stunned to say anything. This girl was really something else.

"I really hope that one day, you can smile and laugh along with the rest of us and forget about all the bad things that happened." She smiled at him.

"You know, I think we started off on the wrong foot. So how about we do this over? Hello! I'm Kurata Sana! And you?" She said with a grin plastered on her face as she stuck her hand out in front of her.

Akito looked at the hand that now stood in between her and him. She grinned at him and giggled at the same time. Should he take it and start over? Or should he continue with the way they previously were? She was waiting for him to make the choice, but what question was... would it be?

"Okay that's it. Sana has been gone to long. I'm gunna go look for her." Naozumi said as he stood up. Aya stood up with Naozumi and followed him to the door.

"I agree. I'm beginning to become worried." Aya said.

Tsyoshi looked at both with concern in his eyes because he too was worried for Sana, but for some reason, he felt as if Sana was safe.

"Hold on guys." Tsyoshi said as Naozumi was about to turn the knob on the door.

"Let's just give her a couple more minutes. I have a feeling she's okay."

"A couple minutes? It's been half an hour! I'm gunna go find her!" Naozumi then turned the knob and in front of him was a red faced, smiling Sana. Naozumi went wide eyed and was lost for words at her sudden appearance.

"Sa-Sana!" Naozumi yelled.

"Yeah that's me hehe. How can I help you?" she giggled.

"Where have you been? We were all growing worried about you!" He shouted once more.

Sana walked into the apartment and turned back towards her friends. She smiled at them and said "I was fine. I just went out for the call and then went on a walk."

Naozumi looked at Sana in suspicion. She was happy and red faced. 'What would have a phone call and walk do to make her like this?'

Tsyoshi smiled at her. She did look a lot happier from when she left. Maybe she had a certain run in with a certain someone?

Akito leaned against the table in his tiny kitchen. His mind kept replaying the conversation with Sana and everything that she had said.

"I want to help you. I want to see you smile because life is about being happy, not about hating it."

"Why does she care so much?"

"... When I see someone sad, hurt, depressed, I get this instinct to help them. It's not that I want to get all in their business, it's just that I like it when everyone's happy."

"That's why... because it's who she is." He said to himself. He couldn't help but replay the image of her smiling at him.

"I need to focus on this mission, but this girl..." Akito said to himself.

"You know, I think we started off on the wrong foot. So how about we do this over? Hello! I'm Kurata Sana! And you?" She said with a grin plastered on her face as she stuck her hand out in front of her.

Akito stared at the girl in front of him. Her hand was right there. All he needed to do was shake it... or not. She giggled slightly and his heart jumped? Inside, his mind was confused and this was not normal for him. Usually, he had control of all situations, but this was different.

He lifted his hand slightly and reached over at the hand in between. He grew closer and closer until, finally. There hands connected. Akito felt a sudden shock course through his body. Every nerve in his body jumped along with his heart. He felt.. weak. He felt vulnerable all of a sudden. 'I'm not suppose to feel like this... what the hell is she doing to me?'

"Hayama Akito." Akito mumbled almost inaudibly.

This was the last thing Sana expected. When she felt Akito's hand touch hers, her heart skipped a beat. The beating became louder and her body froze. Her knees grew weak again and she felt as if she would drop any minute. 'I can't believe he actually did it.'

They both stared at each other, not one losing connection with the other. Sana gazed into Akito's eyes and noticed that something was different. His eyes weren't as cold and hard as they usually were. She could see more emotion in them. His eyes were actually brightening up. She smiled.

After he said his name, Sana's smile grew. She knew this was going to be different. She could feel it.

"Well Hayama Akito! It's a pleasure meeting you and I hope we grow to be the best of friends!" she said excitedly. Her face was still red form earlier but now it grew even more. But this time, she was feeling happy instead of nervous. Hayama and her were officially friends.

Akito stayed quiet and let the girl rant on. He didn't have many friends. He wasn't even sure what the word friend meant. He had comrades and subordinates, but he was sure that those two things were completely different.

"Well I'm going to go back now. I'll see yah later Hayama!" Sana smiled as she let go of the hand she was holding onto. They both felt a sudden urge of emptiness when there hands disconnected but they both shook it off.

Sana opened the door but before she walked out she looked back and shouted "Bye!"

Then the door closed and she was gone.

Sana smiled to herself. She felt accomplished. Akito had finally accepted her friendship and they were starting over new. They only met each other only three weeks ago but they have already been through various dilemmas.

Sana walked back to Tsyoshi's apartment with her hands behind her back and a smile glued on to her face. Her face was still red but she didn't care because she was happy.

As she was about to open the door, the door itself opened and behind it revealed her purple haired best friend who looked overly worried.

"Sa-Sana!"

"Snow advisory warnings are being issued through out the center areas of Japan including: Tokyo, Funabashi, Chiba, Kawasaki, Yokohoma, Sagamihara. The county's are issued as the following: Fuji. Urawa, Ichihara, and Jinbou."

"Oh my.. with all this snow... how are we suppose to get home?"Aya asked with concern.

"Yeah I agree. The city buses are closed, so are the cabs. The streets are covered with snow and the subways are shut down." Naozumi added in.

Sana sat in thought and smiled. "Guess were just gunna have to walk."

Naozumi and Aya looked at her in surprise.

"Walk?" Naozumi questioned.

"Yeah? I mean how else are we gunna get home! We have no choice but to walk! Besides, it shouldn't be that bad." She explained while looking out the balcony doors.

Naozumi frowned but then sighed. "Yeah Sana's right guys. Guess were just gunna have to walk home." He then smiled and looked over at Sana and Aya. "Ill walk you both home to make sure you get there safe."

Aya blushed a bit, not because she liked him, but because of his generosity.

"You don't have to do that Naozumi. Ill walk Aya home." Tsyoshi offered with a smile and a bit of jealousy.

"Oh okay,. Are you sure? I could take both home. I mean Aya lives my way." the blue eyed boy urged but Tsyoshi shook his head.

"No it's okay. I got her covered." Tsyoshi reassured.

"Alright then! Now that that's settled, how about we make our way home!" Sana cheered.

"Are you sure Tsyoshi? I'll be fine with them. You don't have to walk me. It would be better if you stayed inside don't you think. Besides, aren't you getting sick?" Aya asked.

Tsyoshi was kinda bummed that Aya didn't want him to walk her home but she knew she was doing it for his own good.

"Nah I'm okay." At that moment, Tsyoshi sneezed and red was beginning to form on his cheeks.

"Nah man. Don't worry. I'll take them both home." Naozumi said as he gave the brown haired boy tissue.

"But-" but Tsyoshi was cut off by Sana.

"Nope! Its final that your staying here! We can't have you get sicker then you already are! Besides, you need to be ready for when school starts." Sana exclaimed with a triumphant smile.

"Yeah don't worry Tsyoshi. Ill be okay. I'll call you when I get home so you know I'll be okay." Aya smiled at him. Tsyoshi blushed and gave up. There was no use fighting it because he knew they wouldn't let him walk her home.

"Alright! Now that that's settle, lets go!" Sana yelled as she walked out the door with Naozumi behind her. Aya waited a bit and then turned back to Tsyoshi. Tsyoshi was confused at Aya's actions.

"Aya?" he questioned.

"Thank you Tsyoshi. I hope you feel better." She smiled at him then brought her face close to his. She closed in on his face and gave him a small peck on his cheek. Tsyoshi turned 5 million shades of red and watched as Aya ran out of his apartment.

"You-your we-welcome." He stuttered before he fainted, falling back into the couch.

"Aya ! What took you so long!" Sana shouted back at her when Aya came down the elevator.

"Sorry guys." She mumbled softly.

"What did you do anyways?" Naozumi asked as he took notice to her red face.

"Oh! Nothing at all!" She quickly stated, trying to cover her face.

"Yeah? Then why is your face all red huh?" Sana prived, wriggling her eyebrows at her best friend.

"I-it's be-because it's co-cold." Aya quickly babbled out.

Naozumi smirked and guessed something must have happened between Tsyoshi and her. He smiled internally and was happy that those two were furthering their relationship.

"Yeah yeah! Ima buy that for now!" Sana said loudly with a smile on her face.

Before they walked out, a voice called out to them.

"Hey you kids."

They all turned around to see the owner of the voice. He was an older guy, maybe in his mid 20's and he looked dead tired.

"You guys are going out there in all that snow?" He asked.

Naozumi answered back to him with a confused face. "Uh yeah we kinda have to?"

Sana recognized the guy. It was the same guy she had seen the day Hayama took her home and the same guy that she saw earlier that day.

"You guys are stupid for going out there. It's freezing cold. Do you wanna get frostbite?" he questioned with a glare on his face.

"I think we will be okay." Naozumi answered while turning back around, heading towards the floor.

"Whatever." he answered back.

Sana stared at the guy sitting down and noticed that he was only asking because he was concerned. She smiled immediately after. The man who was sitting behind the desk gazed over at her and he locked eyes with her.

Kenta was confused about the smile that the girl was giving him. Hadn't he not made fun of her when she was first here? He didn't understand at all.

"I know your worried but were gunna be okay! So don't worry." She flashed him another one of her famous smiles and he blushed.

"Ahh I'm not worried about you stupid kids. Just get out of here if your gunna leave will yah?" He grumbled. He turned the other way, embarrassed buy the girls statement.

"Okay! Bye bye!" Sana shouted out towards him, her smile never fading. With that, they were gone.

Kenta scoffed and mumbled "Stupid girl. Too innocent for her own good."

Naozumi then proceeded to open the door and when he touched the handle, he noticed how cold it was. Naozumi winced slightly form the cold temperature. He then pulled the handle and opened the door.

Suddenly, a gust of below temperature wind blew and almost knocked Aya and Sana down. The wind pierced right through Sana's body and she felt as if a thousand little knives were piercing into her body. She couldn't feel anything from her face down.

"Y-you guys still wanna walk through this?" Naozumi asked as he wrapped his coat around him.

"Ye-yeah." Aya answered as she tired to hide her face in her coat.

"No snow will take me down! Let's go guys!" Sana marched on through the snow, which piled up to about 3 and a half feet since the local plowers had stopped working. It was difficult to move in but the three had managed. The wind had picked up and the snow continued to fall. They both showed no sign of stopping but the three continued on forward.

After what seemed like an eternity, Naozumi, Sana, and Aya reached the street where they separated. Aya and Naozumi lived in the same neighborhood but Sana lived on the other side, which meant that Sana was on her own.

"Sana... why don't you go to mine or Aya's house until the storm lets up. It's way to dangerous fro you to go out in this weather!" Naozumi shouted. Because of how bad the snow and wind was, it was difficult for them to hear each other.

"I agree Sana! Just come to my house! My parents won't mind!" Aya stated, trying to convince her friend.

Sana smiled at them and shook her head. "No! It's okay guys! I'll just walk by myself from here on out! You two go get warm! I'll be okay!" She replied.

"I'll walk you home!" Naozumi retorted.

Sana shook her head once more. "No it's okay! I'll be just fine! I'll see you guys later!" With that, Sana walked away into the snowy abyss.

Naozumi and Aya eyed her worriedly. They both turned the other way and walked towards their homes, where the warmth was welcoming them.

'Sana... be safe.'

Tsyoshi looked out his balcony door in concern. He did not want Sana, Naozumi, or Aya walking out in the snow storm. The last thing he wanted to hear was that one of them got injured or sick, especially Aya.

"I just hope their okay and nothing bad happens to them." Tsyoshi said to himself as he stirred another cup of hot chocolate,

*Knock* *Knock*

Tsyoshi was interrupted from his thoughts when he heard to soft knocks on his door. He walked over to the door and reached out for the knob. He opened the door and behind revealed the last person he ever thought would be at his door step.

"Hayama?"

He grunted and walked past his brown haired friend. He went over to his couch and sat himself down on it, clicking on the TV.

Tsyoshi was beyond confused. Usually Akito wanted nothing to do with him, but here he was, in his living room, watching TV.

"Umm Hayama." Tsyoshi nervously asked.

"Hn." He responded while looking through different channels.

"What exactly are you doing here?" Akito looked over and gave him the cold eye. Tsyoshi immediately became nervous and started playing with his fingers.

"If I may ask!" he quickly blurted out.

The dirty blonde haired captain looked back at the television screen and remained quiet. He continued looking through the television stations.

"Well?" Tsyoshi pushed.

"I was bored."

Tsyoshi went wide eyed. 'He was.. bored? Did he really just say that?'

"You were bored?" he asked out loud. Tsyoshi then covered his mouth quickly noticing his mistake.

"Hn." was all Akito said as he continued streaming through the channels.

Tsyoshi sighed and went back to making his hot chocolate. He gazed at Akito in confusion. He was acting weird. One day, he was antisocial, the next he was interacting with people, which was beyond normal for him.

"So Kurata was here." the golden eyed boy said as he hid his face in his bangs.

Tsyoshi halted what he was doing and looked over at his captain. He was leaning over, his arms on his knee's, hands gripping the control.

"Ye-yeah. How did you know?" Tsyoshi questioned.

"I can hear her through my wall. I'm surprised you didn't have complaints of noise levels. She's obnoxiously loud." he lied, well partially. After she left his apartment, he could hear her next door.

Tsyoshi began to laugh and walked over to where Akito had been sitting. He placed his cup on the table and sat down.

"Yeah Sana can be loud but she is a fun person to be around." he said with a smile.

Akito sat in thought. The picture of her smiling at him did not leave his head. Her smile kept popping back in his head and it frustrated him to no end.

"Yeah Aya and Naozumi were here too so it was just a nice little get together. I would have invited you but knowing how antisocial you are, I knew you wouldn't have wanted too." Tsyoshi explained as he took a sip of his drink.

"I wouldn't have wanted to come anyway. Kamura irritates me. I can't stand his girlish attitude and girlish features." Akito grumbled.

Tsyoshi began to laugh. He had never heard Akito talk like this in his whole life. Sure, he's heard him insult people, but it wasn't in any form of conversation.

"Haha be nice capt. He's a chill guy if you actually talk to him." Tsyoshi defended with a smile.

"Hn." was his only reply.

"They all left about ten minutes ago. I'm really worried though. This snow is getting rough and I dont want them to be caught in the middle of it." Tsyoshi explained with concern.

Akito looked over at the medic with question.

"They left in this weather?"

"Yeah. I told them to stay but they insisted on leaving. Then Sana ranted on about her not losing to the snow." Tsyoshi chuckled.

"Stupid girl." Akito commented. But he couldn't help but feel concerned for her now that Tsyoshi told him that they were out in the snow.

"I hope their okay though." Tsyoshi added in.

"Please excuse this interruption from the following program but a blizzard warning and wind advisory has been issued into the central areas of Japan. We advise all residents to stay inside and stay warm. Try to stay inside at all times. It is highly dangerous for anyone at any age to be outside. City officials have closed the streets and roads and.. "

Akito and Tsyoshi stared at the TV in despair as the new reporter issued the warning. Tsyoshi soon grew worried and began to freak out. Akito sat still, observing the TV with no emotion on his face.

"Oh my god! There still out there! What are we going to do! Hayama!" Tsyoshi freaked as he ranted on.

Out of nowhere, Tsyoshi felt a stinging pain on his head. He looked up and seen Akito's hand karate chopping his head.

"Oww! Akito! That hurt!" He said as he held onto his head. Akito then stood up and threw the remote onto the couch.

"Huh? Hey, where are you going?" Tsyoshi asked.

Silence was his answer as the golden eyed boy walked towards the door and made his way out of Tsyoshi's apartment. Tsyoshi watched as his captain walked out of his apartment and close the door behind him.

"What the heck just happened?"

Sana noticed that the wind had picked up and the snow was falling more and more. Her vision was blur and her body was numb. She struggled to move her way through the piling snow and all the heat in her body had left. She kept pushing though and never let up. She was determined to get home.

"Crap.." she mumbled to herself when a football sized snowball hit her straight on her back. She almost stumbled to the floor but stopped herself as she got a hold on the wall next to her. She was exhausted and her energy was just draining by the second. She rested her head on the wall beside her and took deep breaths into her coat.

"I-i ha-have to ke-keep goi-going." she said to herself. With the energy she had left, she pushed herself off the wall and continued walking through the ice cold snow.

Sana continue pushing through the growing blizzard but she didn't know how much longer she would last. She honestly had no clue to where she even was. Her energy was completely drained and she just couldn't keep going. Sana stopped walking and leaned on a nearby wall. Her legs would give out any minute and she knew she wouldn't be able to get up if she fell.

'Is this how I'm going to die? Because of a stupid snowstorm? That's so stupid!' Sana thought to herself as she used whatever energy she had left to keep her legs from giving out.

'This sucks. I didn't even get half of what I wanted to get done! I still had so many things to do!' Sana felt a pain in her heart as images of her and her friends and family raced through her head.

'I'll never see them again. I will never talk to mama again. I will never be able to sing to Rei again. I will never be able to hang out with my friends again.' Suddenly, a picture of Hayama flashed through her mind. She squeezed her eyes shut as his image ran through her head.

'I'll never be able to see him smile...' Suddenly, Sana felt weak. Her legs finally gave out and she collapsed to the floor, which was covered with snow. She felt herself go drifting to sleep as she fell to the floor.

'This is it...'

She opened her eyes one last time and looked up. It was white. There was white everywhere. Then, suddenly, a black figure appeared. She squinted with the last of her strength and seen a flash of golden puddles. She smiled slightly as she closed her eyes. 'At least god came to get me himself...'

Then, she fell unconscious.

A/N: End of the chapter! Ahhh! I'm excited (: I like the way this chapter ended up! I honestly had no clue what I was going to write it on.
