Kent opened his sleepy eyes and looked around. It was still early and everyone was still asleep. Kent stood up and stretched. He laid his arms back down at his sides when he suddenly nearly jumped in surprise. He had nearly forgotten about Kanna. He was about to walk into his room when he stopped. "She's probably still asleep" he said to himself than sat back down on the small couch. He leaned back against the wall and sighed. "Why wouldn't she tell me what happened too her, what is she hiding?" Kent continued to ask himself. His mind began to race as he thought of every possibility that could relate to Kanna. He leaned forward again and held the sides of his head. It felt as though his mind was going to explode. He couldn't stop thinking about her, about what could have happened, about how he cared about her. Kent felt like he was going to just go ahead and scream. He was about too when he heard something coming from his room. He listened carefully to the soft whimpers coming from inside. He stood up and opened the door and walked inside. The room was dark and he could barely see a thing. He walked slowly towards his bed as he had memorized where everything was. With every step the sound got louder until he was just about at the bed when his foot hit an object on the floor. He felt around when a hand fell upon his own. Kent gasped and almost jumped back, but the thing, which he had identified as Kanna, had clung to him. Her face rested on his chest and her hands tightened as she clung to his shirt. Kent sat there his heart began to race again. He didn't move. Even as her crying continued. He wanted to comfort her, to hold her and tell that he cared for her. But he couldn't, he just couldn't. "Kanna, why…why are you…" He couldn't finish.
"Kent, please just stay here with me" Kanna said in a muffled voice. Kent looked down and despite the darkness, he could see her. He could see her limp and frail body clinging to his own. He couldn't stand it anymore. Her touches, her voice, her very presence made him only want to tell her more. And in a moment of weakness he could no longer hold it back. He quickly wrapped his arms wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. Kanna looked up at him, her face stained with tears.
"Kent I…" she was about to say more when Kent's finger fell over her mouth. His eye's held a sudden softness that Kanna had never seen before.
"I know you may not feel the same Kanna, but I have to do this" Kent told her as the sun began to shine into the room. Kent inched his face closer to her's. Kanna didn't move. She only sat there looking at him. Finally, his lips fell upon hers. Kanna's widened but then slowly closed and returned his kiss. The sun shone on them as they sat there in one anothers embrace. They parted and held each other. "I care so much for you Kanna, now please, tell me what happened" He said and the room fell silent.
