-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Akito sat at the table in Sana's room, staring at her sleeping state. He had sent Kato back to her hotel, not wanting to bore her. 'Sana... why did you run away...? Was it because of Kato...?(a/n: DUH!!! Akito, get a clue!!!!)' '....' 'No, it can't be... Kato's really... NICE. Why would Sana be bothered by her...?'

'Sana...'

--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... the sounds stopped, following by a darkness that engulfed her.

"SANA!!!!!" exclaimed Akito, watching the girl fall. He bent beside the female figure, putting his hand on her head.

"Ohmigod, Kurata?!!! Akito, what should we do..?(we...? what do you mean we, sister...?)"Kato questioned, just catching up.(she's not as fast as Akito, or Sana)

"Um.. Kato, I think you should go back to your hotel... I'm gonna take Sana to her house, then stay there until she wakes up... it'll be sorta boring for you."

"Uh.. sure! I'll just.. well.. I'll just go back to the hotel (doesn't really care about Sana anyway, right..?). C ya later, Aki! (she calls him Aki now...?)" replies Kato, walkig off in the opposite direction.

Akito picks Sana up, carrying her all the way back to her house.

--Sana's memories/dream--

"I've always loved you!!! You just.. never figured it out..."

"Fuka's a really nice girl. I still like her, as a friend... Just not in that way... I just couldn't..." "For me.. there's only you."

"Don't you see? I'm going to be just as sad and lonely as you!" "In fact... I'm going to be even lonelier.." "When we're apart... I'm the one who can't handle it!" "The last time we were apart... I was so lonely! I didn't think I would make it!" "This time... I thought I would have the confidence... to get through it.. because I had you..." "That's what... I thought..." "So how... can you think I won't miss you?!" "I need to see your smile!" "Smile!" "Smile and tell me... it will be okay..."

"Unbelievable.. THEY actually grew..."

"No, Sana... I won't leave you again...."

"Kato...?"

"Er... yea... this is Sana Kurata... an old classmate..."

"Sana...!"

--end of dream--

'AKITO!!!!' (a/n: i didn't make her scream it, or else akito would hear, then he would tear things up with Kato, leaving the story a little too short. hope you understand!!!). Sana sprang up in bed, sweating and breathing heavily. Her eyes swam around the room, until they rested on Akito's image.

Akito's head sprang up, hearing movements in the bed.

Sana and Akito's eyes met, one of full of solemn, the other full of relief.

"Sana!!! Are you alright?!! You just collapsed, and..." Akito exclaimed, his hand moving toward the somewhat distressed girl.

"Yeah, fine... I guess the, uh, photo shoot, took a lot of my energy, so..." Sana replied, a little cooly... turning away form the advancing hand.

Akito was sort of taken aback by Sana's cold gesture. He quickly retracted his hand and sank back back into his seat. 'She hasn't been like that since the very beginning, before she helped me...'

"Er, so what happened with Kato...? Where is she..?" asked Sana, trying break the silence.

"Back at her hotel. I didn't want to keep her around, if she didn't really know you... since that would make her sort of disinterested." Akito played cooly.

"Oh, so now I'm boring, am I?!!!" Heated anger rose to Sana's face.

"When did I ever say that?!!!"

"Just now!!! that would make her bisinternested, blah blah!"

"That's disinterested, it seems you can never say ANYTHING right, MORON!!!"

"Well, guess who LOVES a moron?!!!"

"WHO EVER SAID I LOVED YOU?!!! ah...(realized what he just said)"

"You...! You... how could you... I don't believe you... (tears come to her eyes)"

"Sana, I didn't mean to I..."

"(Sana sobs into her pillow)"

The door opens rapidly, and a red, furious Rei comes in.

"Akito, I think you should leave... now!"

"But, Sana..."

"Akito, you're leaving now!!!"

"Sana...! ah...!" Akito sees Sana, still sobbing.

Rei drags Akito out. (short sentence, but that's all the words you need for this sentence.)

"What did you say to Sana?!!!"

"Nothin'..."

"Yeah..? Then why's she crying...?!" "...." "WHERE'D HE GO?!!!"

Akito had made his way out during Rei's inquisition, not knowing where to go. All he knew was that neither Rei or Sana wanted him there. He walked through the crowd, just following where his feet was taking him.

'Sana... we never had THIS much trouble... did we..?"

His feet finally stopped in front of a large building. 'Hey... isn't this... KATO'S hotel...?'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Akito?!!! What happened to Kurata? How's she doing?"

"What about her..?" Akito replied coldly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
