Chapter 2 Flashback
"Because?" Dart asked.
"Because it's you." Shana said.
"What?" Dart reacted and blushed.
Shana couldn't help but laugh.
"My dearest Dart, you should know that I will never tell you when I say I won't."
"I give up."
"Why did you blush so much? You have feelings for me don't you?" Shana teased.
"What are you talking about? Dream on. You're my best friend. I should know better than fall in love with you."
"You can really be so mean sometimes."
"Well, it grows on me I guess."
"I sure does."
Then, rain started to come down.
Dart grabbed Shana's hand as they ran to seek shelter.
But then Shana tripped.
Dart turned around and kneeled beside her.
"You ok?" Dart asked.
Shana then kneeled too.
"Yeah. It's not bad."
"You've got a wound."
"Don't worry about it. It's small. It doesn't even hurt."
Dart then stood and went in front of her and kneeled again.
"Come on. I'll carry you on my back." Dart said.
"Dart, there's no need. I can walk." Shana said.
"Don't act all tough Shana. I know you well enough to know when you're lying. I saw you twist your ankle. Come on." Dart said.
"Are you sure?"
"This is not the time to argue. We'll both have a cold if we don't get under a roof soon."
Shana then gave in.
"Hang on." Dart said as he got up and started to run.
Soon, they had found a place to stay to let the rain die down.
Dart then set Shana down.
"Let's see that leg of yours." Dart said as he sat next to her.
"I'm fine really. OUCH!" Shana said.
"Yeah you're fine alright. You have sprained your ankle as I suspected. I don't have a bandage with me right now but I hope this will do." Dart said.
He then took out his handkerchief and started to bandage her ankle.
"Does that feel better?" He asked.
"Yeah.a little.thanks."
"Shana, please be careful. I don't want anything to happen to you when I'm not around."
"Dart."
"Promise me that."
Shana just nodded.
"Dart, are you.going somewhere..?"
"No.but if ever I'm not around."
"Yes.I'll be careful. I can take care of myself. You don't need to worry about me."
Dart then leaned against the wall.
He then wrapped his arms around her.
Shana was taken aback.
"We're soaking wet. I'm sorry this is the best I can do to keep you warm." Dart said.
"Oh Dart."
They stayed like that to keep each other warm until the rain had stopped.
Dart then accompanied Shana home.
"You better get inside and change your clothes quickly so you won't catch anything." Dart said.
"Why don't you come inside and dry yourself before you head home?" Shana said as she opened the door.
"No.I'm ok."
"No I insist." Shana said as she took Dart hand and led him inside.
"I'm home." Shana said.
"Welcome home dear." Shana's mom said as she walked around the corner to greet her daughter.
"Oh my.you're both soaking wet. Matt dear, could you get some towels?"
"Ok honey." Said Shana's dad.
"Take off your shoes, both off you."
Both Shana and Dart did as they were told.
Then, Matthew brought the towels.
"I guess that rain was that hard." He commented.
"You have no idea dad." Shana said as she stepped away from Dart so that he could dry himself.
But Shana almost fell.
Dart had caught her by the arm.
"What happened to you Shana?"
"She fell sir as we tried to run and find some shelter." Dart explained.
"Yes dad. Dart tried to treat it with his handkerchief."
"Let's take a look then." Shana's mother said as she helped Shana sit and lifted her leg.
Shana turned away with the surge of a little pain.
"It's a sprain alright. Thank you Dart for helping Shana. It's like when you two were kids. Oh how time flies? You two are coming of age now." Shana's mom commented.
"Thank you ma'am, sir. I must be going now or my parents might get worried." Dart said.
"Take care Dart. See you tomorrow." Shana said.
Dart just nodded at her.
"I'll call your parents and tell them that you're coming." Matthew said before Dart left.
"Thank you sir." Dart said.
"He's such a great young man. I wouldn't be surprised if you two end up together." Shana's mom said.
Shana blushed and said, "Mom! Dart's my best friend. I couldn't think of him otherwise."
Shana's parents smiled.
"You never know dear. You never know. He has always taken care of you as you of him. Love more than friends is never too far behind." Shana's mom explained.
"Now, now dear. We mustn't fill her mind with things."
"Dad's right. You shouldn't."
"It must come naturally." Matthew added.
"Dad!"
Both parents laughed.
"Go on Shana. You better get into dry clothes." Her dad said as her mom helped her.
~ Meanwhile. ~
Dart slowly walked home.
He didn't live far from Shana's.
He knew the route so well as he had walked it over a thousand times before.
He was quiet.
He was thinking.
".it's like when you two were kids." Shana's mom's words ran through his mind.
"Just like when we were kids huh?" Dart said to himself.
He then remembered when they were younger.
They were playing at the park and Shana had tripped over a root of a tree.
He had comforted her and carried her in his back and took her to her parents.
He smiled at the memory.
"She's such a trouble maker. She'll never change." He said silently.
(To be continued.)
I know that it seemed that something is brewing in the air but you know.they are always like that in the game. They care so much for each other and they are too stubborn to really admit it to each other even though it's so obvious. Anyway, please send me your reviews. I really want to know what you think. The action is about to start in the next chapters so I hope you'll stick around. ^_^ Michiko
