the surprise

Kawaru couldn't rest all night in the forest. He didn't understand why Rin had to left. Saori was sleeping right next to Kawaru, her head was on his shoulder. He didn't want to move to wake her up so he sat there and thought about why.

Two days has past. A lot of things had happened. Maki and Yuki are still at the hot springs. Everyday they would go play some ping pong in the room, get massages, or they would go train in the mountains. Both of them couldn't take it anymore, because it was taking too long, so they decided to go back today, the third day. It will take at least a day to get back. They took a shuttle bus back to the town then transfer to another bus to go back to the city.

Saori woke up afterwards. "Good morning, did I wake you?" Kawaru said. "No, you were awake so long, and you didn't move," Saori blushed. "I didn't want to trouble you," Kawaru smiled. Saori blushed. "So now you have mastered one of the Kamiya Cousins technique, what else now? There's one more to boost your physical strength," Saori said. "I'll do my best," Kawaru nodded. "This technique is called Shinpu-atsumaru, no one outside of the Kamiya Clan can learn this though. But maybe you can, because you're my little Ten Sai," Saori said. "When did I became that?" Kawaru scratching his head. "Now," Saori stuck her tongue out.

"Doing this technique, you have to concentrate ki power. Concentrating all over the body is the hardest thing to do. The Kamiya Clan can do it easy because their bodies are use to things like this, since they train all their life. So the younger generations inherits their traits," Saori explained. "I see," Kawaru nodded. "But you can do it, because you're my little Ten Sai," Saori touched Kawaru's face. Kawaru started to blush. "You look cute when you're blushing," Saori smiled. "Uh, thank you," Kawaru blushed. "I have a question you have so many girls loving you, but which one do you love?" Saori asked. "What? I can't answer this," Kawaru replied. "Even if you don't we all could tell, you love Rin, don't you?" Saori said. "No even though it seems like that… But I can't tell you anything more, I care about her more… it's because… well you should know, her childhood. You were in the Kamiya Cousins, they were a combination of Main and Branch, and that wanted to be equal…" Kawaru explained. "That's true, I could see the difference in her. She had never talked to anyone before, but after she met you, she changed. She started to socialize more, she smiled…" Saori said. "I'll tell you this, I love you too," Kawaru stated. Saori heart started to thump. "You do?" Saori was shocked. "Yeah, after the kiss you gave me, I started to remember how I was in the past. That day when I saved you in the pool I started to think, my parents used their lives to save me, and I thought since I saved you, I know how it feels. I started to help people, even if people looked down on me…" Kawaru smiled. "I loved you ever since you were there, I watched you ever since Sixth Grade. We were also in the same Junior High School, I was watching you from then also," Saori confessed.

Saori fell on her knees. Her eyes were glistening. "Kawaru, just one more time," Saori's voice was shaky. Kawaru held Saori on her face. He got closer. Saori closed her eyes. Kawaru kissed her, lip to lip. Saori was surprised that he really did do it. Saori's face began to blush. "For that I love you, I'll give you immortality. Now we can wait eternity," Kawaru began to transform. His eyes began to glow red, his hair grew longer, black horns started to grow from his head, black wings came out from his back, dark clouds came surrounding the sky, and the moon came which made an eclipse, and Kawaru's side teeth grew. Kawaru took off Saori's blouse "I-i-ie!" Saori asked. Then Kawaru bit her, all three powers and his blood began to flow inside of Saori.

When he took his mouth off her neck, his mouth was filled with blood. "I love you, Sao-Chan…" Kawaru whispered. He kissed her one more time, and he transformed back. The sky cleared up once again. "Ka-wa-ru-kun… I really love you, but don't leave me again," Saori whispered. "I promise I won't," Kawaru promised. Kawaru and Saori stood up, and Kawaru hugged her.

Maki and Yuki came back. They were in the marketing place now. While they were walking they saw Rin; she was carrying grocery. "Hiiii, Rin-San!" Maki yelled. "Uh, hi," Rin softly said. "What are you doing with all the grocery?" Yuki asked. "Well, uh, I wanted to make an obento…" Rin said. "Really?" Maki was surprised that Rin would do such thing. "Let's get back to the dormitory then talk, Rin come with us," Yuki said. "Well, uhh," Then Maki and Yuki started to drag her back to their dormitory room or Kawaru's room.

When they arrived to Kawaru's room, they sat down around the table. "Well, we came back from the hot springs… We couldn't take it up there anymore, no Kawa-Chan," Yuki cried. "I missed him, how is he?" Maki asked. "I don't know, I left a day ago…" Rin answered. "Why? What happened?" Maki asked. "I don't know, you ask him…" Rin answered. "Argh, why do all you Kamiya Clan people always tell us to ask him," Maki asked. "I don't know, I have to get home to make an obento…" Rin said. "Why? For who?" Yuki glared. "No one," Rin replied. "I just can't take it anymore with you RIN!" Yuki yelled. "Calm down, Yuki," Maki asked. "RIN, I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HAVE TO ACT LIKE THE WAY YOU ARE, BUT EVEN THOUGH WE WEREN'T HERE TO KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED… I CAN FEEL WHAT HAPPENED. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU TURNED KAWA-CHAN DOWN, EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T WANT TO. AND YOU KNOW YOU LOVE HIM THAT'S WHY THE OBENTO YOU'RE MAKING IS FOR HIM… CAN YOU STOP AVOIDING IT ALREADY… EVEN THOUGH HE LOVES YOU, HE HAS OTHER PEOPLE TO LVOE BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW IF HE'S HURT HE DOES STUPID THINGS… WEREN'T YOU IN THE SAME SCHOOL AS HIM FOR ELEMENTARY, JUNIOR HIGH AND NOW HIGH SCHOOL. YOU HAD THE ORDER TO KILL HIM WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG ALREADY, SO YOU SHOULD HAVE ATLEAST WATCHED HIM… JUST STOP IT…" Yuki cried. "Yuki, it's okay…" Maki hugged Yuki. "Yuki-San… I-I-I-I do love him, but I just can't face it… I wanted to say sorry to him, by making him an obento… I asked him to stay away from me, he really did, but I came back to him…" Rin said. "Then do what you have to do," Yuki yelled. "Kawaru loves all of us, even if he acts so carefree, and he worries everyone… But he has his own pain, when his parents died… He has kept that in him so long, that's what made him want to help people. He helped me, he helped Maki, he helped Saori-San, and he especially helped YOU!" Yuki yelled. "I know," Rin looked away. "She's right you know, are you going to go back to the person you were or the person that you really wanted to be?" Maki asked. "I want to… I want to… I want to be the person I want to be!" Rin cried. "Then go do what you have to do, do your best and make your obento here. We'll assist you," Yuki said. "Thank you, guys," Rin cried. "We're friends," Maki said. "we help each other," she added.

Rin started to work on the obento for Kawaru. "I don't know how to cook," Maki stuck her tongue out. "so you do all the work, Yuki. I can give you fire though," she added. "That's okay, I'll just set up the food, and I'll give you an obento box. Then you cook everything. Kawaru will be happy, no matter what happens he'll forgive you, definitely," Yuki said. "I hope so," Rin smiled. "Woah, y-y-you smiled!" Maki pointed. Rin was embarrassed and she blushed afterwards. "For Kawaru isn't it?" Maki laughed. "To tell you, why don't you wear your school uniform?" Yuki asked. "I don't like wearing things like that, the skirt is too short… And the blouse is too tight…" Rin complained. "Do you not want to make Kawa-Kun happy?" Maki asked glaring at Rin. "No, but… Okay fine," Rin sighed. "You can start cooking now," Yuki said. Rin started to do her best at making the obento.

After she was done making the obento for Kawaru, she went home and changed into her uniform. Then she met up with Yuki and Maki outside the gate, with her obento. "You look great," Maki praised. "I do," Rin blushed. "But, leave your hair out, take off that," Yuki ordered. "Uh, okay… Are you sure it'll be okay?" Rin asked. "Perfectly fine," Yuki took out her pointer and index finger and made a v, meaning victory. She was embarrassed, her first time wearing her uniform, and the first time she's being true to herself about Kawaru's feelings.

Rin, Maki and Yuki walked out the gate, and increased their pace, since they wanted to see Kawaru. Rin had a bad feeling going like this, because Saori was there too.

Kawaru was still training. He couldn't set all his Ki power all over the place. "Kawaru-Kun, don't try to concentrate anymore, I have another way. Ki power is all over your body, but concentrating it just gives it more power, like what you did before with the other technique. That uses too much ki power, so for saving our power, just use what is natural. Don't think about anything, just know your ki power is all over your body and you can do the technique," Saori explained. "Yes," Kawaru nodded. He left all his fears and thoughts behind, and he started to glow red. "Shiiiiinpu-astumaru," Kawaru successfully did the technique. I thought so as it is, he was carrying too much burden on his mind," Saori thought. "You did it," Saori laughed. "You are my little Ten Sai; you learned techniques that would take a long time to do. Even I took some time… Now if you use Taihen Kiatsu with a kick or punch, the power would be doubled," Saori said. "Thanks for your help," Kawaru replied.

Suddenly Maki and Yuki came running down the forest and jumped on Kawaru hugging him. "I thought you were supposed to stay a week at the hot springs," Kawaru thought. "Sorry, we couldn't take it anymore, without you," Yuki cried. "But look who else came," Maki pointed. Maki pulled Yuki away from Kawaru afterwards. "Rin-Chan," Kawaru looked. "Y-you look different, and you look cute like that," Kawaru smiled. "Thank you… Uhh I made this for you," Rin hesitated so she yelled. "Heh, I was hungry too," Kawaru replied. "Thank you," He added. Rin gave him the obento. He opened it. "Itadakimasu," Kawaru started to eat it. "How is it? Is it bad?" Rin asked. "N-n-no… It's fine…" Kawaru lied. Rin blushed. "Is it that good?" Yuki was jealous. Yuki took a piece. Yuki coughed it up. "Are you serious Kawa-Chan? This can kill a person!" Yuki exclaimed. "No offence Rin-San," she added. "I want to try," Maki said. She took a bite, and looked the other way. "Is it that bad?" Saori asked. Saori took a piece, and she turned around also. Rin was upset, but she took a piece also. Then she made a sour face. "Kawaru, why did you lie?" Rin asked. "Who said I was lying?" Kawaru smiled. He continued to eat. Rin blushed. "Everyone tried it, and it wasn't good, and you're still eating it…" Rin stated. "No, it's good," He continued eating. Rin smiled. Saori stated time out. She pulled Maki, Yuki, and Rin aside. Kawaru started to stare at them.

"What is it, Saori?" Yuki asked. "Kawaru is obviously lying, you know that that means," Saori replied. "He likes you Rin, that's why he's eating it," Maki explained. "I guess so…" Rin blushed. "What are you waiting for," Maki asked. "My lessons are finished with him today, since he already mastered quite high level techniques from Kamiya Clan, so I'll go take a walk… jya," Saori ran off. "Well, me and Yuki will go too, since we came and saw him," Maki started to walk away with Yuki. "Jya," Yuki waved while she was walking away. "Gochisousama deshita," Kawaru finished the obento that Rin made.

"Huh, where'd everyone go?" Kawaru asked. "Who knows," Rin replied. "Sorry, for the other day, and the other, other times," she added. "Don't worry about it," Kawaru smiled. "Well, what should we do now?" Kawaru wondered. "It's only after noon," Kawaru sighed. "I don't know," Rin replied. They started to look at each other.
