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

--flashback--

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

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

--end of flashback--

Akito laid down on the large hotel bed, hand behind his head. He didn't want to think about anything... specifically, about Sana. The only thing that lingered on his mind, voluntarily, was that why he had come to Kato's room instead of his own house. What was even wierder, was that he felt more comfortable here than he would ever feel at home... but the bigger dilemna was: did he feel more comfortable than his visits at Sana's house...?

"Akito..."

"huh...?" Akito turned, to see Kato's eyes looking into his eyes... Kato's beautiful eyes...

Akito lay there, staring, as Kato advanced on him..

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

"Sana! Watcha doin' here...? I thought ya'd be with Akito this whole month... even cancelled ya work... didn't ya...? (see...? even she knows.)" asked Fuka.

"Umm... well, we just sorta...."

"WHAAT?!!! You two got in a fight?!!!"

"Well... yeah. I mean, I thought that we'd do a lot of catching up without any interruptions of anything... but then his friend, Kato, from L.A. comes along, and.. he treats me as...."

"...as a friend, not a girlfriend... right?"

"Exactly... but he actually denies me being his girlfriend..."

"Reaally?!!!! I never thought Aki would do that...."

"So, that's why I came here to hang with you... to try to... forget this thing with Akito for a while..."

"... (oops, all I did was pry into her problems...)"

"..."

"Well, girl, you've come ta the right place... 'cause we're gonna have fun all day!!"

"(suddenly inspired by fuka) .... YEAAAH!!!"

"LET'S GO!!!"

"Yeah!!! .... uh... go where... fuka...?"

"I...!!! dunno...."

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

"Akito... I... umm.. you know I've always liked you... (YEAH!!! you've already told us...!)"

"er... "

"I... (leans closer to his face)"

Akito, stares at the advancing face...wondering why he wasn't moving.

"AKI!!! Ur.. and Kato... We're comin' in!!!"

The door burst open, revealing two blonde and black-haired female figures.

"Akito... I, uh wanted to talk to you... so.. ah..!"

Sana's eyes fixed on the two people, and their faces, closer than they should be to have a friendly conversation. She had gained up enough courage to march over here, to try to work through this with him... but this... this was just too much. It was that split second, that one moment, that broke her heart in two.
