--- Outside the restaurant---
Natsumi walked out of the restaurant, not caring whether Yukito was following her. She cannot stand this confrontation anymore, she had to settle this once and for all. At least for the sake of her sanity!
Yukito could sense the frustration coming out from her. * Guess this is when I either make it or fail.* He suddenly halted when Natsumi suddenly turned around.
"What is your point Yukito?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why leave me five years ago and now come back. Come back at the time when I swore that I would never love you again. Funny that everything changed when you came back. Every damn resolution I made against you went down the drain." Her tears threatened to come out but she couldn't care the less.
"You came back, saying that you still love me. You came to my office and try sweeping me off my feet with flowers and kisses and sweet words. Didn't you use them before you left me! I was so in love with you. How could you go and leave me alone? All alone, for five years!"
"Drats it Natsumi. I didn't mean to cause you so much hurt."
"Right, I can vouch on that, because you are too kind to everyone. But that doesn't change the fact that that was what you did." Natsumi snapped back. She started walking away but couldn't go further than two steps when she was pulled back.
"Tell me then! Tell me what do you want me to do to win your love back?"
"You will have to figure it out. I gave you my heart many years ago. You returned it to me. You go and figure out, since you went overseas to make yourself more smarter." She spat back sarcastically.
* What am I suppose to do to win my angel back? * Yukito thought as he watched Natsumi finally walking away, unaware that her heart was breaking into two. He walked back towards the restaurant and saw at that moment Meia rushing out.
"Where is my sister?"
"Walking away from me."
Meia exploded. "Can't you guys ever say the right thing? Always making the ones that love them cry. Can't you ever accept that the love we give is unconditional? When will the day come when it gets into your big thick skull of yours!" She ran towards her sister, trying to comfort her.
* Unconditional love? * Yukito thought.

--- Three days later after work---
"Natsumi" A familiar voice called out.
"Bug off Yukito. What do you want?"
"I want to offer you my love."
"I don't want it. I cannot return your feelings."
"Well, you can still have it." Yukito started out, before being interrupted by Natsumi.
"Why should I? Go and find someone else to love."
"And what? Settle for less? No way, I want to love you for the rest of my life. Even if you don't like me, I just want you to know that I still love you. You are my sun, moon and star. You lighten up my day and I cannot live without you."
"Tell me another better reason when you come up with one." Natsumi walked away, unable to accept the sweet words he just offered.
"Walk away Nat, and I will find you. I will find you even if you go to the ends of the earth. I will find you and be with you. Forever." Yukito shouted at her retreating figure. He turned and saw Kenshin staring at him.
"She still haven't accepted your apology yet?"
Yukito shook his head. Aware of the dark rings around his friend's eyes, he quietly queried.
"Meia. I can't figure her out."
Yukito mouthed an oh and decided to leave it as that and petted his shoulder as he walked out of the room.

Kenshin was not really a great person to talk to for the past few days. The usual Kenshin would smile to everyone every now and then. However, he was always deep in thought and would snap at people if they interrupt his thoughts.
* Granted. I know Meia loves me. But how am I supposed to say that I love her when I actually don't? * Kenshin mentally talked to himself. However, deep inside, his heart was telling him that Meia was more than a friend, a special friend, who he can depend on in times of trouble. The one he would love for the rest of his life.
He paused for a while. * Wait! Does that mean I really love her? * He glanced at his watch. * A quarter past five. I have to find her before she leaves the office. * He rushed to the level Meia was working. No one was there. He ran down to the lobby hoping he would be able to catch her.

Meia wasn't aware of what she did for three days. Nothing seemed to register in her mind. Her deadlines were all in a mess and she cannot even remember what day was it today. She barely remembered that today was extremely special with her and she wanted to surprise him.
She looked at the road that she was about to cross. When she stepped onto the road, she did not notice the red car speeding towards her nor did she hear someone screaming for her attention. All she remember that she fell on the road and heard a loud bang.
