Yuki's POV
Oh, god. What did I do? What's Eiji gonna do? He saw me at the wrong time ; with Kyoiichi. Come on, I just met Kyoiichi yesterday. We couldn't have gone that far, could we? What if Eiji thought we were childhood friends? Oh, that is bad. REALLY bad. What am I to do? Well, only one thing crossed my mind : Where did Eiji stay? Well, he didn't have any relatives in Hokkaido, so he would be staying in a hotel. But which hotel?
There were about 30 hotels in Hokkaido. If I were to search every hotel, I'd run out of money and waste too much time. Therefore, I decided to target hotels near the airport. There were about 4 there. So, I took up the directory and began dialling.
"Sumimasen, is there any guest in your hotel called Kikumaru Eiji?"I asked eagerly.
"Gomen, but no,"replied the woman over the phone.
"Thanks,"I replied quickly, putting down the phone. I repeated what I did for about 3 times. At the final time, I finally got a good response.
"Wait, we'll connect you to the phone there,"said the receptionist. After a while, I found myself not talking to the receptionist anymore.
"Nanjaroh hoi hoi,"the person over the phone answered. He didn't seem rather cheery though. I presumed it was Eiji, for his usual phrase was "Nanjaroh hoi hoi".
"Eiji! This is Yuki! Can I see you at the coffee house at the hotel?"
"Ok."
After that, I quickly got into a cab and went to the hotel Eiji was residing, the Pan Pacific Hotel, Hokkaido. It was raining, and made matters worse. When it rained, it froze. It was awfully cold outside, and I didn't bring my windbreaker out. Darn. I think I was an ice cube by the time I reached the hotel. I paid the taxi driver the fare and quickly got off the cab.
I walked into the 5-star hotel, frozen. I walked to the coffee house and decided to look around for Eiji. Finally, I found Eiji seated close to the window.
"Konnichiwa, Eiji."
"Konnichiwa,"Eiji replied very coldly. I felt as if I was struck by lightning ; since when did Eiji become so cold? I shook my head in order to forget what I heard.
"So, anything important?"Eiji continued, looking very not him. He was no longer preppy and happy. His eyes bore ice and could freeze anyone he saw.
"Eiji, forget what you saw, okay? Everything you saw earlier was NOT what you might think about."
"But how can you explain?"
"Eiji, I just met this guy, Kyoiichi. We went out for a movie..."
"So, he asked you out for a date?"Eiji cut in. I could feel his anger boiling now.
"No! We just wanted to watch a movie, y'know? Then we had ice-cream. I felt really cold, and he just held me on my hand! D'you just get so uptight by me holding his hand?"
"Yuki, you don't get me. What if you become more serious in the future?"
"We can never, Eiji."
"Why?"
"Because, when I know I like someone, who is you, Eiji, I'm definite of liking you, and will never like someone else besides you."
"Yuki, I'm going back tomorrow, okay? I'll think about it, but actually, to tell you the truth, I've lost love once, now the second time, and I'm giving up."
"Matte, Eiji!"I said, looking at the new Eiji. He wasn't the Eiji I'd loved, or rather, liked. He was probably the Tezuka version of Eiji, but I'm sure I'll be able to dig out the old him. I couldn't help spilling tears on the table. Soon, everyone was looking at the both of us, or rather, only me. Eiji already left.
I walked out silently into the cold. I needed to get Eiji back. But how? I took another cab back home. I took a quick shower, and cycled to the hospital, this time with my windbreaker. The wind was still cold, so it was better for me to wear a sweater, at least.
I finally reached my grandma's ward. No one was there, except her.
"Yuki, you seem to have a problem."
"Hai, obaa-san."
"Why don't you share the problem with me? I think I may be able to help you."
"Um...I don't think you'll understand...."
"No, no. I should be able to help you, Yuki. Don't be shy ; there's no one else but you and me."
"Um...y'see, there's this guy, who I like, and I think he likes me too...just that...he happened to see me with another guy and jumped into conclusions. Now, I really want him back, but I don't know how to get him back."
"Hm....I think, you could try get him something which will make him happy again."
"I've no idea what he wants."
"Oh, gosh. You like him, but you don't know what he likes? Sigh, I really pity you, Yuki."
"Um...HEY! Actually, I've got an idea! Thanks alot, obaa-san!"I said excitedly, giving my granny a hug.
"Sigh....kids these days..."

Eiji's POV, The next day
I packed up my bags and brought them down to the lobby. I checked out and quickly left the hotel. I walked to the airport, as it was very close by. My flight was at 10 AM, and now it was already 9 AM. I was going to be late if I didn't hurry.
When I arrived at the airport, it was still quite silent. Hardly anyone was there. The only person that stood out in the crowd was Yuki Haragiri. I thought she wasn't going back that early.
"Eiji!"She shouted at me. I just sighed and tried to avoid her.
"Mitte mitte! This doggie! For you!"she said, panting. I took a look at the beautiful Beagle. It was soooooooooooo cute...I just couldn't help jumping excitedly at it.
"AHH! KAWAII NYA~!" I said. Soon, everyone at the airport were looking at the both of us.
"Eiji, I'm so sorry if you ever went jumping conclusions about me and Kyoiichi, but I'll only love one person, and that'll be you,"Yuki said, burying her head in my chest. She smelt like how she was before. I couldn't resist giving her a kiss, even though we were in public.
"I should be the one to say sorry. Gomen, I thought there was more to that Kyoiichi kid,"I replied.
"By the way, what's the name of this dog?" I continued.
"Um...let's call it Himawari, so we shall never forget!"
"But why Himawari? Isn't Himawari a sunflower? It DEFINITELY has no relation to this dog."
"Er..never mind that! It's just my favourite flower!"
"Sigh, sigh. WAIT! I've got my flight later!"
"Never mind, just don't check in. You can stay at obaa-san's house, she won't mind."
"Ah, you've got a point there, Yu-chan."
"Is that another nickname?"
"Yeaaaaaaap!"
"Eiji, thanks for being here!"
"For what?"
"Uh..never mind..."
~OWARI!~
.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.
