Chapter twelve: The suspect is love.

"What do you think about me?" Kyande said. W-W-What? What did I say? Did I just ask if he has a crush on me?! AH! I'll die! I'll die! I'll die! Yep, right now!

"(he laughed softly) What do you mean about that? If what I'm thinking is wrong, then I don't know what you're talking about. Do you mean… the… way I feel for… you?"

"I… ah… whatever you think of me." UGH! What's with me?!

"I think… that you're a pretty girl… and I think… I'm…"

            Kyande's eyebrows rose trying to find out what he really thinks about her. She wanted only one answer. She won't regret that she did this. But she might if he says what she doesn't expect. Before Mitsui spoke… he went closer to Kyande with no more space to spare between them. Then, he placed his hand to her head and let her rest to his chest. Kyande felt this before. She relaxed on his chest as Mitsui hugged her, with their hands holding each other.

"What do you think the way I feel about you?" Mitsui said sweetly.

Kyande enjoyed the way Mitsui caressed her cheek.

"Mitsui… look at the moon. It looks so beautiful, doesn't it?" Kyande said, not trying to ignore Mitsui's words. She just doesn't know what to say. She tried to hide her feelings that weren't developed before. She wanted to reply to Mitsui. But the right words won't come out. They finally hid inside her. This is the first time she felt love for a stranger. She didn't thought she's gonna fall for Mitsui.

"Kyande… answer me. Do you love me… or not? I will try to accept that you love Sendoh, if you do."

I-If, I love Sendoh? Sendoh. Yes, Sendoh. Have I forgotten why I am here? Have I forgotten that I am caught in the middle? Have I lost to my own heart? My feelings? My head?

"… Mitsui. Please don't make me choose." Kyande said and she's also trying to hold her tears back.

"Kyande… before you make a decision, I want to tell you that I love you." Mitsui stopped right after he said that. I wasn't thinking. What am I saying?

Tears started to fall down from her eyes. It hurts her because she knew this would happen. But she didn't care. She didn't know how hard it will be. She didn't make a plan. But the past was different. She did know Mitsui's feelings. But she didn't thought it could be as true as Sendoh's.

"Mitsui… please. I beg you. Don't make me decide. I want to make the right decision." She whispered really soft and her tears seemed so calm right now.

"No. I'm not rushing you. I just want you to choose me. But I know that it will hurt me if you choose Sendoh because all I can say is: I am more in love with you than Sendoh does."

The moment Mitsui finished his sweet words; Kyande did the unexpectable for Mitsui. She went away and almost pushed Mitsui. Mitsui's heart broke as he saw Kyande's face full of tears. It was obvious that she was trying to hide what's her eyes are producing with her shoulder length hair.

"No, Mitsui! What do you know about Sendoh?! You don't even know him! I don't think you know if he exists! I think you wished he doesn't exist!!!!" She tried to walk away with her hands on her face. What did I just do? I felt so girly back there!! I saw this in the movie before and I hated the way they do this! I didn't expect this to happen! I didn't expect this would happen to ME! I'm not supposed to be weak!!!! This is not the way I want!

With Mitsui following the depressed, crying and running because of him girl. He stopped and watched her walk away. His heart sunk when he saw her cry. He knew that she was a tomboyish, stubborn girl before. But not now. He went to the cottage where five boys are sitting, drinking.

Kyande saw a very good spot where she's close to Mitsui, not knowing it, and where nobody will see her. She cupped her hands to her face and started to cry again.

What?! What?! WHAT! What now? What I did was wrong. I hate Shigan because she's always humiliating me. I used to hate her because she's judging people around. And she's a bully! But… I did that to the person I love. Just because I stood up to Shigan, that doesn't mean I'm brave! I can't even protect my self from him! He's being too dangerous for me… And yet, I judged him.

She again shook her head wiped her tears away. Determined to do what her heart wants her to, she walked back where she left Mitsui.

When she passed over by the cottage, it took her a minute to look at Mitsui and realize it's him. She angrily walked to Mitsui who was drinking, and laughing with the guys beside him.

"Mitsui!" She said and placed one hand to Mitsui's shoulder.

"She's the girl you're talking about?" The boys beside him said. They all looked at her. Mitsui did too. She knew the boys. They're form Shohoku high too. When he steadied his eyes on hers, Kyande held her hand back because of fear. But then, she recalled the thinking she did. And with all her courage, she ignored the laughing boys.

"Mitsui! Since when did you learn to drink?! You look like a tomato! Give that to me and take a rest to your room!"

The boys laughed more. Mitsui stood up and held her hand. He dragged her back to the place where Mitsui confessed his love. And then, he placed Kyande to the rock, with her back having a hard time with the rough rock.

"Mitsui, let go of me!!!" She said, avoiding tears.

"What?! After you ignore me? You're my first love, Kyande! The first! Why did you ignore me?"

"W-What are you talking about?! You're just drunk!"

            Mitsui's eyes became sharper as he looked on Kyande's eyes. Kyande cried because she's scared for her self. She freaked out because Mitsui wasn't saying anything and his hands were too tight.

 "SENDOH! SENDOH, HELP!!!!" She cried, desperately needing Sendoh, needing help. She saw Mitsui's eyes became mad. Then, he leaned his face closer and held her tighter, trying to stop his lost self. Then he punched the part of the rough rock, which is really close to her.

"Sendoh… Sendoh… SENDOH! It's always Sendoh! MITSUI!!! What's with Sendoh? You're so selfish! You just enjoy the comfort yourself! You don't care about me OR Sendoh! You care about your self! You don't care about those people around you being hurt! You just don't know how hard it would be at the end!" Mitsui yelled, and hurting her more with his grip on her hands.

Mitsui, you're right. I didn't care. I didn't thought about that. But, I have an excuse.

She looked to Mitsui's eyes and gave up fighting with his hands. Many feelings are confusing her. But she didn't know that. Because she know what to say and nothing else matters more.

"Mitsui, how about you?! Why didn't you think about my feelings, being caught in the middle? Making decisions?! Do you know how hard it is to regret something? Do you know that I can't undo it once I regret it? You're selfish too! You didn't care about me… OR SHIGAN!" She said. It wasn't fear that overcame her now. She can't feel anything. But she can feel that what she's doing is right. Mitsui became madder. He banged her hands against the rough rock, causing her hands to bleed.

"What?! Why would you care about Shigan now? So, are you saying that I should love Shigan, than the one I love?"

"…I'm not saying that. I… I don't know. Just let go of me!!" She said trying to fight him back, but fails. Mitsui kissed Kyande on her lips. Kyande became furious and bit him on his lip. Mitsui's head went up and looked at her.

"What did you do that for?!" Mitsui angrily asked.

"What did you that for?! How dare you?!" Kyande said, looking at his bleeding lip.

"Ugh. Kyande… I just want to tell you something." Mitsui said, with his calm voice, the voice that Kyande needed. Then, he placed his head closer to her cheeks, he felt Kyande's cheeks. Kyande looked at him.

"I know what I'm doing!" He said. And then, he looked at her eyes.

"I'm sorry." Mitsui said. Then he freed his hands from Kyande's. He watched him walk away. She didn't know what happened. But she can't think of that now. Then she inside the hotel and went to Megumi and her room. She didn't cry. But she felt sleepy. And then she slept.

It's already their twelfth day in Hawaii. Two days more. When she woke up, the first thing she saw was the ceiling. And then Megumi. She dreamt about what happened again. And then she stood up. Walked to the kitchen and prepared their breakfast.

When the night came, she had fun with Megumi. She said that her most favorite part of the day was eating. Then they all laughed. When she walked away again and went to the spot where Mitsui and Kyande fought each other, she again sat there. Hoping that Mitsui followed her again. She felt that someone followed her. So she looked on her side and looked up. It was Shigan.

"Hello." Shigan said and walked to her. "Can I sit down with you?"

"I… ah… sure." Kyande said and smiled for her. Shigan sat down beside her. Whoa. Did Shigan really sit with me? I mean, that's new!

"Kyande…"

"Yes?"

"Can you be my friend?"

Kyande looked at her again and widened her eyes.

"Your friend?"

"Yes!"

"Why would you want me to be your friend? I thought you hate me for making Mitsui my friend?"

But the problem is you two are more than friends. Shigan thought.

"I'm just kind of fed up with this mean thing."

"Then why not?!" Kyande said. Shigan looked at her and smiled too.

"That's all." Then she stood up, still looking at Kyande.

"That's all?"

"Let's go, Kyande, to the cottage. I want everybody to know you're my friend now."

Kyande smiled and stood up too, with her hand holding Shigan's. When they reached the cottage, Shigan cleared her throat really loud and made a speech.

"From now on… Kyande and I are officially bestfriends." Shigan said. Sendoh, Mitsui, and Megumi's eyes widened. And so did everybody else.
