"Admit Lira you were scared weren't you?" asked Akito coming out the haunted house with her.

"I wasn't scared, Akito." Said Lira looking around

"Oh, really then why are you still holding my hand?"

Lira quickly let go of his hand and Akito smirked

"Let's just go. I have to meet with Hatori." Said Lira walking towards the entrance

"Alright, but I wanted to thank you for our date today." Said Akito and Lira stopped dead in her tracks "It was really fun. I enjoyed it. Usually I hate the summer but coming here with you was actually fun. Didn't Kyo come here also?"

"Y-Yes." Lira replied "W-we all did…"

"Oh but you didn't go to the summer home with them! Why not?" asked Akito

"B-Because, I didn't want to." Lira whispered

"Or maybe…" said Akito wrapping his arms around her "you didn't want to see him so happy with miss Honda?"

Lira 's eyes widened and she pushed herself away from Akito.

"Is that why you've been at the house so much?" asked Akito "Because your afraid she might take him away from you. But you love miss Honda so much and you love seeing her happy but it kills you knowing she's taking your place."

"SHUT UP THAT'S NOT TRUE!"

"If it's not then why are you about tocry?"

Lira screamed in fustration and was about to give Akito a right hook but someone grabbed her arm and stopped her

"That's enough Lira." Whispered Hatori. "You are no longer a child so stop acting like one."

"Ah, Hatori. Is my ride home here?" asked Akito

"Yes, and Kureno is waiting for you in the car." Said Hatori

"Good, Lira won't you give me a kiss goodbye?" Akito asked looking at her "It's the only way to close our date."

Lira slowly walked over to Akito and kissed him on the cheek then looked down at the floor.

"No that wasn't so bad was it?" Akito asked before kissing her forehead and walking off

"He won't ever realize how much it hurts…" Lira whispered

"Lira, Akito's not the one hurting you." said Hatori as they walked out of the mall together

"Oh yeah than who is? Kyo?" she asked sarcastically

"No, you." said Hatori

"What?"

"You heard me…" Hatori said getting in the car and Lira followed

The driver closed the door then got into the car and drove off

"Is it because I won't let go?" Lira asked after a while

" Yes…you don't love him" Lira was about to say something but Hatori put a finger to her lips "Listen…you do love him your just not in love with him anymore…I can tell when you tell him, you meant it with all of your heart but your not in love…"

Tears filled Lira's eyes and she wrapped her arms around Hatori and knocked back into he seat and Hatori wrapped his arms around him.

"It wasn't spouse to be like this!" she shouted through her tears

"I know…but maybe there's someone better for you?" he asked

"Maybe…like you and Sensei?" asked Lira

"How did you-"

Lira looked up at him and smiled

"You're a sneaky one Lira."

"I know," Lira said getting off of him and wiping her tears "Hatori I've finally made a decision…"

"Have you now?" Hatori asked sitting up

"Yes…I've decided to let go of the past…" Lira said "I can't hold onto to it…I can't go back to the way things were…I love him and I always will but…I have to move on…"

"I'm glad but what will you do to show that you've finally let go?" Hatori asked and Lira grinned at him.

At the summer home

"Huh?"

Haru sat up on the beach and turned around to see Shigure walking towards him and the others with a girl.

"Hello everyone!" said Shigure waving at them

"Oh, Shigure!" said Tohru coming out of the water with Momiji and Kisa "I'm so glad you finally made it."

"Shigure who's this?" asked Yuki looking at the girl

"This?" Shigure looked at the girl then at Yuki " are you serious?"

"Isn't obvious?" said Hiro before taking a sip from his juice can

"Ok than, smart ass than who is it?" asked Kyo loudly

"Kyo, you really are an idiot." said Haru putting on his sunglasses

Tohru looked at the girl, the girl had slightly pale skin and was wearing a light blue two-piece bikini but she had a long skirt around her waist. Tohru couldn't really see her hair or face, because she had on a hat and sunglasses.

"I AM NOT AN ID-" Kyo got cut off because the stepped forward and kissed Kyo on the cheek but when she did her hat fell off revealing her short white and black hair. Kyo looked at the girl and the girl smiled. "L-Lira?"

"I missed you too, Kyo." Said Lira taking off her sunglasses.

"Lira! Lira!" said Momiji jumping on her and knocking her on to one of the beach towels "you cut off all off your beautiful hair!"

"Not all of it, it's still shoulder length…" she said ruffling his hair "besides all that hair gets in the way."

"Oh, Lira I wish you hadn't done that!" Tohru said looking at her " I always loved how your hair was so long."

"Any longer and she would have been that one fairy tale character." Said Hiro

Lira turned to Hiro and grinned and Hiro face dropped.

"Y-You stay away from me!" Hiro said getting up

"Oh Hiro-chan!" said Lira getting up and Hiro broke off into run and Lira ran off after him

"Um what they…"

"Oh, that's nothing Tohru." Said Shigure "Lira likes making Hiro turn into his zodiac form she thinks he's cute when he turns into that."

"Her record is 1 minute and 30 seconds." Said Haru pulling out a timer "20 seconds…30 seconds…"

"Get him Lira!" shouted Momiji and they saw Lira tackle Hiro

"New Record, 54 seconds." Said Haru as they heard and explosion

Lira walked back with a sheep in her arms and she was grinning form ear to ear

"Now that, that's over lets go swimming!" Yelled Momiji

"I will but I would like a tan first." Said Lira sitting next to Haru

"Okay, come on Tohru!" yelled Momiji going in the water with Kisa

"Alright I'm coming!" said Tohru following them

"Aren't you going to go with them Kyo?" Lira asked him

"No I don't like the water…" he said not looking at her "…Is it really over?"

"Yeah…I can't…continue…the relationship between us…" said Lira letting go of Hiro "it hurts to much."

Kyo sat next to Lira and took her hand in his

"Why didn't you tell me…that you…"

"Knew? I couldn't bring myself to do it…but I think it's better this way…" she said holding his hand "because you know I'll always love you."

"I know…" Kyo said before kissing her

"When he kissed me, I felt relieved…knowing we could move on…together…as friends and with friends like these…I won't be so scared. I am truly blessed."
