To Theimaginator, it's all right, really. I don't mind. I like getting criticism, and since you read another chapter and had the same problem, it means that I didn't fix it, so I try harder! I hope you enjoy this chapter. Thank you to everyone who reviewed.

Chapter 8

Ever since the incident, people expected Sana to act differently. Sana, however, didn't let it affect her at all. Or at least from what people could tell. But deep inside, Sana was shaken. She kept on reminding herself that they wouldn't meet again, there was no way. Yet she knew in her heart, she wanted to see him. Weather it was to break down and cry, or to slap him, she wanted to see him.

"Sana." Stated Nao, as he approached her. They were outside the hut that they were filming at, waiting for the crew to set up for the next scene.

Sana looked up at her foreign looking friend. "Yes?"

"Do you remember anything that happened during that incident? The time those girls…" Nao couldn't finish the sentence.

"No, I only remember parts of it. The girls were attacking me, then I black out and the next thing I knew I was in the hospital. They say a boy brought me to a store and save me, but… I don't remember. If I did, I would have thanked him. When I made the public announcement, many people heard it, yet no one stepped forward."

"Sana… I know who saved you. Would you like to know?" Sana nodded.

"Was it Batman? Was it a defender of justice? Who, who?" Said Sana.

"Well, Mr. Maeda was driving me to a commercial shoot, when I saw you. You were being carried by a boy. He carried you into a convenient store and left. Back then I didn't know him. He thought no one saw him, but I did. That boy, that boy was Akito. Sana, Akito saved you then. Although you didn't know him then, he still saved you."

Sana sat there, absorbing the information. So Akito knew what I went through. He knew…Sana's thoughts were interrupted when she felt a wetness on her cheek. Am I crying? She thought to herself. When she finally realized the source of the wetness she screamed, "It's raining! Move, we can't have the equipment getting wet!" The crew stared at her. "Well, what are you waiting for?"

Nao decided to explain, "Sana, that's part of the set. See?" Naozumi pointed to a rainmaking machine. Sana looked up and saw the water coming down. Mikio called the cast back over and they started filming, but all Sana could think of was Akito and her past.

When the day was finished and the cast and crewmembers were just having fun, Asako approached Sana.

"Sana, what's up? We get a day off on Sunday, would you like to go down to the town? We can have a girls day out." Asako smiled.

"Sure!" Said Sana, her face brightening for a few minutes. Asako left and Naozumi approached Sana.

"Sana, how are you?" Sana wasn't listening at the moment. She was too busy trying not to get eaten by the bugs.

"Sana, is something wrong? Is it what I said earlier? Sana…" But before he could finish his sentence, Sana ran towards the building.

"Hurry up, Nao! It's raining!" This time Sana was right, it was raining. When Nao reached the building, he was next to Sana.

"Sana, earlier, when you chased Akito, a lot of people hear what you said. I heard what you said. How do you think I should be reacting?" Naozumi questioned her.

"What? How you would react? How would you react? Why?" Sana made random arm movements as she spoke.

"Sana, I still like you." Nao looked at Sana for her reaction. When she didn't move, he walked back inside. Sana stood there, collecting thoughts about her past.

Nao…Tsuyoshi… What should I do? Nao, you were my first date. Tsuyoshi, you were my first crush.

Although it was a long time ago, I still remember it clearly.

You were the first guy to not care about my status. I respected you for that. You treated me like a normal person. When someone would come up to me asking for an autograph, you didn't care. You were so sweet to me. You never burdened me, yet you never neglected me. I liked you for it. But it was only like. I never felt what I feel now, for Akito.

Nao, when we went out, you made me feel like the world. I would always look forward to spending time with you. But ever since that accident, you've always been careful about what you said to me, it started to get awkward. You still tried to make it work, the alone time was good. But that can't compare to what I feel now for Akito. This is so much stronger.

While Sana was crying, her tears flowed freely as the rain poured down. Only when Rei came to retrieve her did she head back in.

When Sunday came, Sana had sorted out her feelings and was ready to tell Nao. When she finished her breakfast, Asako came up to her and asked if she was ready for today. Sana smiled and thought I'll tell him later. And grabbed her bag to follow Asako.

Sana was happy. She and Asako were having fun in the local mall. They were talking about their jobs and Asako talked about Rei a bit. Sana sat down at the table for a minute, waiting for Asako to come back with their lunch. Sana looked aimlessly around the mall for a minute. When Asako came back, someone was following her. From Sana's position she couldn't see who it was. When Asako sat down, Sana could finally see the boy standing behind the older woman.

Akito.

Before Sana could say anything, Akito sat down next to Asako. He glanced once at her but quickly looked away. Asako noticed the tension but shrugged it off; she pulled out a piece of paper and a pen from her bag. The scribbled her name on it and gave it to Akito.

"Thank you, my sister will appreciate it." He gave her a slight bow and left.

"A-k-i-t-o." Whispered Sana. Akitos' ears twitched. He paused for a moment but continued to walk away.

Asako watched this all. When Akito left, she spoke. "Sana, wasn't that the boy what was running through the woods yesterday? The one you chased after? What happened? I thought you knew each other."

Sana was on the verge of tears, "I guess we don't know each other anymore." Asako gave a worried expression and asked, "What happened?"

Sana started to tell her story, starting from the time they meet.

Notes: How did you like it? You know how I say, only a few more chapters? I might be lying! . Might be more than a few. I hope you like it though. Poor Sana, I wonder how they are going to make up… Seriously, I wonder. If you have any ideas, you can tell me!
