This chapter is dedicated to the most loving friend I know... Boku enjeru-o, Ashli... Who keeps sending me pointless emails everyday, even though she knows that I can't respond to them everyday.

Chapter 2: Hikari

Friday, the last day of the school year, and the day Harada-san leaves for two weeks. What bliss filled me the second the last bell rang to dismiss the students until the next year began. The twins left right away, anxious to go on thier vacation, so they left Daisuke up to what-ever he wanted to do. Daisuke and I left after thanking our teachers for the past year, then started to walk toward my single- bedroom apartment. Daisuke called his family to check up on them, and to tell them that we had gotten to my apatment in one peice.

"Really? You're leaving for two monthes? All right... so you'll be back by the end of June? Okay, sure I'll stay at Hiwatari-kun's . Bye!" The red-head hung up the phone, even more excieted than I had seen him this week. He walked to the single bed in the middle of my room, and sat down next to me. "You heard, right?" I nodded, trying to keep my emotions in check. "You want to start now?"

"Start...?" I asked, forget for a second what he had come over for.

"Talking...?" he prompted.

"Oh... sure," I responded, then looked at him. "Did Harada-san say anything about what we talked about?"

"Well, she... she said that I'm not alone because she's there.... She also said that I shouldn't depend on others for support , and that she'll try to help me get over everything as soon as she gets back," he paused. "But I told her that if she really wanted to help me, then she wouldn't be leaving me to myself for that long. All she did was get mad at me, and walked away..... I still don't think that she would understand as well as you do, Hiwatari-kun....." Such innocence in those eyes, as he looked up at me as he finished. If he weren't here, I don't know what I would have done with myself... if he hadn't been there that day, or if he hadn't cared about me so.... I don't think that I would even be alive if it weren't for him, and I'm very greatful of him, and his kindness and caring. "Hiwatari-kun...? Are you okay?? HIwatari-kun!"

When I finally woke up, it was pitch-black outside, and Niwa-kun was sitting on the bed next to my lying form, with a concerned look on his face. My glasses had been taken off, and set on the dresser next to the bed. "Hiwatari-kun," he wispered, seeing that I was finally conscience. "Are you all right?" I nodded, not knowing how I should respond now that he was so close, and so very concered over my well-being. I opened my moulth a couple times, until I finally found something to say.

"Niwa-kun... why am I lying on my bed? What happened?"

"You were listening to me, but then you blanked out, and fell backwards onto the middle of the bed," he swallowed, not knowing exactly what to say. "You feel warm... maybe you have a cold?"

I groaned. I knew that I had low blood preassure, but when I let it get the better of me, I often passed out, and now, to Niwa-kun, it looked like I was sick.... "Daisuke, I don't have a cold, it's just my low blodd preassure.... So-" I looked up at him, and saw that he was embaraced by what I had said. "What did I do?" I asked, not realizing what I had said wrong.

"Well, you just called me... 'Daisuke'... and you and I know that we're not family... and we've only known each other for a couple years..... So, I'm kinda confused." He turned away, blushing heavily.

"Daisuke," I said, reasurring myself, tasting the way it sounded on mt lips, now that I've acctually said it, not by mistake. "Daisuke, I don't know why, but I've always been jelous that you have been with Harada-san. You have always been very kind to me... you have even saved my life, and I feel I owe everything of myself to you. I want you to take me and do with me as you will, Daisuke." I paused, winding up my courage, "Daisuke... I... I love you with all that I am...." A silence passed between us, as we both sat there, our backs turned to each other, slowly, I turned around, and saw that Daisuke had already turned to face me, his face as red as his hair. Tears slowly spilled down his cheeks as he wispered my name; my first name... with no suffixes either, the same way I had said his name a short while ago. He flung his arms around my wwaist unexpectedly, and cried until both of us fell asleep, him ontop of me, clinging to my torso.
