CHAPTER TWO- Your Smile

Takuya and Junpei were wondering in the woods and Takuya was picking up firewoods. While he was doing this, he asked his friend, "Hey, Junpei, I wanted to ask you this for a long time. Um, why are you so obsessed with Izumi?" Junpei turned around and beamed dreamily, "Because she is so attractive and she's so pretty like an angel!! She has the sweetest smile and her hair-" Takuya immediately cut in, "OK OK. I get the point that she's beautiful, but do you know her character?? I mean, all these things you said are about her appearance, Junpei." Junpei replied proudly, "Well, of course I do!" Takuya muttered, "I bet you don't."

Tomoki sat next to Izumi and looked up to the girl. He asked worriedly, "Will Kouichi be alright? He looks really sick...." Izumi stared blankly at Kouji and slowly shoke her head, "I don't know...I hope he'll be fine." She watched as Kouji buried his head in hands, obviously very concerned about his brother. Fortunately, Takuya and Junpei came hurriedly back with firewoods and Takuya immediately knelt down and was trying his best to make a fire quickly.

The flames were flicking and they circled around. Kouji just stared at his apple. He sighed and whispered, "I'm not hungry. Junpei, you can have this." He thrusted his apple across to Junpei and walked back to his unconscious brother. Takuya said, "But Kouji, you need to eat something. We hadn't eaten anything since this morning and after all that walk...you need to restore your energy." Junpei rejoiced, "Another apple!!!! I'm so hungry!" Izumi rolled her eyes. She turned her head and saw the bandana boy sat on the ground. His expressions show everything. Depression and worry.

After the others ate, they were very tired. Junpei shoved next to Izumi and said, blushing, "Um, Izumi....do you want to sleep next to me tonight?" Izumi stared at him shocked, "What? No way!! You sicko, Junpei!!!" She stood up quickly and walked away. Junpei muttered, "Don't worry, Junpei. She's yours and nothing can change that!" He lay on the ground with leaves and turned over. He was the first one to fall asleep that night. Takuya and Tomoki were next. The night seemed very peaceful.

Kouji closed his eyes and lay back on the tree trunk. He whispered, "Please be OK, Kouichi...." He re-opened his eyes as Izumi sat down beside him. Chilling winds blew across his face lifting his long hair. Kouji asked expressionlessly, "Why aren't you sleeping? It's late at night and it's cold, Izumi." Izumi replied softly, "Because I can't sleep....and besides....I...want to keep you company.." Another breeze blew and Izumi shivered. Kouji turned to her and said, "Told you it's cold. Here." He took off his jacket and handed to her. Izumi stared at him and whispered, "How about you, Kouji? You'll catch a cold." Kouji smiled warmly. A smile that he rarely used. He replied, "Come on, Izumi. Take it. I'm not as cold as you are. " He helped her to put his blue jacket on.

Izumi blushed and smiled. "Oh my gosh!!! His smile is so charming and it warms my heart...Oh Izumi, stop it!!" Kouji noticed her cheeks were pink. He looked away. He stared at Kouichi. He placed his warm hand on his elder brother's cold hand. Kouji watched the rising and falling of Kouichi's chest. Izumi observed both of them from the corner of her eye. At that moment, she could almost felt the care from deep inside Kouji.

After a long while of silence, Kouji spoke up, "Have some sleep, Izumi....I'm sure you're very tired." Izumi sighed and replied, "OK then, I'll go to sleep now. Kouji, don't stay up too long. You need some sleep too." She slowly stood up and took off the blue jacket. She handed it back to Kouji. He stared at her. Before he could even open his mouth, Izumi bent down and put the jacket in Kouji's arms. She whispered, "Thanks. Good night, Kouji." Kouji watched as she walked towards where the others were sleeping. Izumi lay down, took off her hat and closed her eyes. Kouji put back on his jacket and whispered, "Good night, Izumi." Then, he turned his attention back to his sick brother. The wind blew across the cold night.
