Sana plopped onto her big bed. 'Things didn't go as I expected...', she thought disappointedly. 'I thought we were gonnna catch up a bit more, especially since I missed him like crazy while he was gone...' Her eyes glazed up to the ceiling, still in deep thought. 'But then KATO came along...'
--flashback--
"Kato....?"
The girl smiled and nodded, and continued to explain her unexpected prescence. Leaving Sana standing alone, and bewildered.
"As I was saying, I, I wanted to convince you to go back to the States and stay with me....", the girl fumbled on. She looked up to Akito's eyes, only to see confusion in them. "Um, what I mean to say is... um... I.. love.. you...", the blushing girl said, staring at the ground.
Akito's confusion quickly became surprise at the timid girl's words. He was in a trance about Japan, the States, Kato... not even thinking about Sana, until...
"Um, Akito...? Who's this...? A friend of yours...?", Sana said, trying to conceal her sad feelings in a big "Sana" smile. Of course, knowing Sana, she wasn't sad that Kato had expressed her true feeling to Akito... I mean she felt that everyone was entitled to feeling anyway they want...(except for maybe being suicidal... that IS how she and Akito hooked up, right?). What disappointed her, was the state of non-reply he was in, or the trance he was in. She was expecting Akito to turn her down, thinking that SHE, Sana, was the only girl he would ever love...
Both Akito's and Kato's eyes averted towards the cheefully smiling girl.
'Oh, no... Sana... I didn't mean to hurt you....' Akito thought, seeing through her fake "happy" state.
"OH!!! I'm sorry!!! I didn't know that you had a guest over, Akito... (what is she blind?!!!) Who's this..? An old classmate...?" Kato exclaimed, both apologetic and curious.
"Er... yea... this is Sana Kurata... an old classmate...(THE HORROR!!!!)" Akito mumbled, not wanting to cause anymore pain (although I think he hurt Sana more.... ... what do I mean "I think"..?! Of COURSE he hurt Sana!!!)
Sana was in absolute shock. The world had stopped, literally for her. Not only did Akito didn't deny this girl's feelings, he denied HER as his girlfriend, too..! How could he... Then, as she realized the cold truth of it all, the world smacked her hard in the face, resuming life again.
"I, um, I have to.. go home, and um rest... 'cause, I... I have a photo shoot tomorrow.... so... ur... go ahead and catch up with your friend... 'kay Akito? I'll ...um... call you, or something..." Sana said, giving a little queasy grin. She walked out the door as quickly as possibe, not wanting to see the sight of Akito and that girl anymore, and as soon as she wasn't in sight... sprinted towards home.
The whole time she was running, she expected the familiar sound of Akito's footsteps, running after her as he usually did; but all she heard were her own footsteps. Everytime she noticed the absensce of her love's running and huffed breathing, she ran faster and faster, the ground under her feet getting harder and harder... until she reached her mansion-of-a-house.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And here, she ended up. In her room... the atmosphere full of gloom. Thinking back to the subject again, she thought, 'And he KNEW that I souldn't have a photo shoot the next day... I took the whole MONTH off, just to be with him. ..... or DOES he know...? Does he really know that little about me...?'
For the first time in years, she had doubted his love for her. She slammed her face against her pillows... hoping it would sustain the hot dears raining down her cheeks, and the dark thoughts pounding in her head.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sana walked through the park the next morning, lightly smiling at the memory of her and Akito yesterday... talking to each other right here.... it seemed then, that nothing could tear them apart..... but then again, what does last forever...? Sana shook her head violently. 'What do you mean, nothing lasts forever?!!! Your love for Akito will always last forever... even if he might forget you....' '.....' 'NO!!! He wouldn't forget ME!!!! What am I talking about...? He just wants to talk with his friend, that's all... ... his friend he just talked to a few hours a go before he got on the plane...' '......' Sana decided to put her thoughts aside and enjoy the day.
She lolled(is that even a word...?) through the cement path, observing the surroundings arround her. Children playing, parents reading.... then she spotted a certain bench...
--flashback--
"Oh, my darling Akito! Oh, poor baby, juice came out of your nose. 'tee hee'. Dinner's ready. Go wash your hands."
'Someone please stop her.'
"I SAID, GO WASH UP!"
"I don't wanna. (sweatdrop)"
"DO AS I SAY, YOUNG MAN! ..... Don't forget the photo..."
"...."
"Now, sit down right there."
"Okay, okay. (gave up)"
"And behave!"
"Alright."
"Here, lay down on my lap! (pat, pat) (hey, come on!)"
"No way... 'she's a freaky mom...' "
"LISTEN TO YOUR MASTER, I mean, MOTHER!!!"
"Look at all this ear wax! We'll make you clean! This doesn't hurt, does it?"
"Actually yes...(doesn't care any more)"
...........(there's no mention of the "you must live for me" thing, 'cause she doesn't remember it in book 9, and she wouldn't think of it herself, now would she...?)
"Hayama? You feel really warm.. hmmm...."
"Hayama, you're sick!!!"
"No! I'm fine!!!"
--end flashback--
Just then she heard a pair of footsteps behind her(not too scary, 'cause it's a public park... right?). Curious, she turns around, only to see Akito staring at her... with Kato, right beside him.
"Sana..."
Sana had tried to eliminate, tried to get over the image of Akito and Kato, over and over last night... but now it was standing right before her... she couldn't take it.... So what did she do...? She ran.
Sana kept running and running, Akito right behind her... and Kato a little bit behind. Sana felt, wierdly, lightheaded and tired, but she didn't care... she just wanted to keep running until she feel off the face of the earth. 'Sana!' 'Kurata!' The three pairs of pounding footsteps, pounding harder and harder on the ground. She couldn't keep her head, clear... her head throbbed: 'Sana!' . She heard it again over and over... the pounding drumsticks on the earth-drum... she couldn't ignore the sound... but she kept running and running... ' -stop-i can't-i need to--' she couldn't finish her thoughts... the voices and the feet only got louder and LOUDER until...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
jfan: WHAT have you done to Sana?!!!! (smack!!! to the tied-to-the-chair Akito)
akito: YOU made me do this... and besides, if I chose YOU instead of her, would you be just as mad...? (smirking pervertedly)
jfan: no.......... .... ..... HEY!!! (another smack!!!!) How dare you make me say that in public?!!!!
akito: What?! i didn't make you say anything you wouldn't say if we were alone....
