Chapter 7: How To Find An Answer To Your Problems.
------------------------------------------
Continuing with her kisses, Misha placed her hand on Kotarou's chest and pushed him down, climbing on top of him. She brushed his hair back with her fingers, and planted a long sweet kiss on his forehead and then on his lips. Tears dripped off her face and tapped lightly on Kotarou's. But his cheeks were so red and hot, those tears could of turned into steam the moment they hit them.
Kotarou, becoming nervous in this process, instantly shot up, pushing Misha up with him. "M-M-M-Misha-san..." He stuttered, trying to look her in the eye. He put his hands on her shoulders shakily, but after a moment's pause, his face became stern. "Misha-san…"
Misha blinked, her cheeks glowing bright red aswell. She looked him straight back in the eyes, feeling just a bit confused. Oh no, suu…, She thought to herself. Maybe that was too muchy-wuchy...
"Misha-san….?"
Misha snapped from her gaze into no where and focused her eyes on Kotarou's again. "Y-yes su?" She questioned with a smile on her face. "Hee hee…"
Kotarou swallowed a lump. "Misha-san… my… my wish… not to see angels…" as Misha's smile turned into a frown, Kotarou couldn't find the strength to look into her face. He slumped and put his head down. "Did it wear off…? Can I really see angels again…?"
Misha's heart sank. She closed her eyes for a moment, as if she was saying a prayer to herself, and then opened them again, looking just as stern as Kotarou had. "No, su… I'm afraid that can't happen…"
"…then how is it… that I can see you…?"
Misha looked away. She just couldn't say it… She couldn't say that it was just for one day, not to him… not right now. She wanted him to not worry about her leaving while she was with him. She knew if she told him, he'd probably break into a million pieces. Misha herself was already cracking. But she couldn't allow herself to shatter.
"I asked Sashy-chan if she… could turn me human, su." She sugar coated her face, holding back all the tears. "I'm not an angel, nowy-wow… I'm human…just like you, Kotarou-kun."
Kotarou bit his lips, and gripped harder on her shoulders. "But Misha-san…! Misha-san, wasn't it what you wanted!" He shook her aggressively. "Your wish! To be a full-fledged angel, Misha! An angel…!" He stopped and stared into her frightened and worried eyes. "… You just… gave that all up…?"
Misha felt another crack slice through her shell. "…" She didn't know how to reply as he looked at her for an answer. She tried to speak, but her mind scrambled and she found herself cutting off her breaths. "I--…you see--……… I-- uh………err….."
"Misha-san… are you… staying human with me…forever…?"
Misha began to sweat nervously. He asked it. He asked the question she was most terrified to answer. But now she had to… what should she say? Should she tell him the truth… or lie to him like she had before? She closed her eyes again and searched for an answer….. and then she found it…
"…?"
Misha nodded and smiled. "Yup-yup-yuppers. I'll be with ya forever and always… suu…."

The sun was shining brightly as it reached 10:00. The day was hot and a bit humid, but it seemed pretty decent despite the usual summer weather. Birds and bugs chirped and buzzed loudly in the trees. Today was going to be a good nice day. You could tell just by the sounds of the leaves shaking in the breeze.
Ten gripped his fingers around a small daisy and plucked from the plant. He raised it up to his nose to smell it's sweet sent and let out a long satisfied sigh. "Whelp, Its better I do it now than never." And with that, he stepped forward to Koboshi's gate and rang the doorbell.
In a moment, the speaker above the button crackled and a familiar young voice rang out. "Um… Who is it?"
Ten blushed. "Hey, uh, Koboshi-chan… It's me…err, Takashi…" He heard a muffled yelp come from the speaker and suddenly a thud. Eh…?
"Oh my, Koboshi-chan, are you alright?" said the speaker with a much older voice, but still female.
"erk! Um, yeah, mom…"
"Whose at the door?"
"ah! Nobody! Just a, um… salesman! Yeah, that's it…"
"Oh it's that blonde boy, isn't it?"
"mom!"
"Well, he did take you home last night. You should be kind enough to welcome him in for a moment."
"no mom! Don't…"
"Why hello again." The voice came loud into the speaker. "How may we help you, young man?"
Ten blinked and looked down. "uhh…." His once up-straight and hard position seemed to curve down like rubber. Koboshi didn't want to see him… he had already figured that much out. And that was all he needed to know. "it's uh… sorry for bothering you…." He said softly.
"Pardon…?"
The daisy slipped out of Ten's fingers and hit the hard cement. He turned away from the gate, with a long frown on his face, and walked off. Feeling rejected, he let out another sigh, this one not filled with happiness and pride.
---
"Now, why did you have to do that!" Koboshi's mother snapped. "We owe him all our gratitude and kindness, and there you are making him feel as if he's just an annoyance to us!"
Koboshi winced and frowned. "But mom… wouldn't you be embarrassed too? I mean—you—"
"this boy could of saved your life!" Her mom interrupted. "Aren't you friends with him too? Don't you think it'd be a little nice just to talk to him and say a little 'Thank you'?"
"er…."
"You can't be that embarrassed.. I mean, he just took you home, right…?"
Koboshi blushed and her face went pale again. "…"
Her mom gave her a look. "…. Riiiighht…?"
Images of that 'dream' she had, filled her thoughts. How warm she felt in his arms, and how sweet his lips tasted to her. Her heart pumped and it seemed for a second that it's beating was the only sound that rang in that room. She could picture his worried wet face staring into her eyes with compassion. In that one moment… she had felt safer than she had ever felt in a situation before. I can't let myself hide again…, she told herself, looking up at her mother. I got to stand on my own and face these things… or else I could loose my chance for true happiness…Koboshi stood still and swallowed, giving a smile to her mom. And like a bullet, she shot out of the front door, closing it with a slam behind her.
"Eh! Koboshi-chan!" Her mom yelled out in shock. She ran to the window and watched her daughter run out through the gates. She sighed and shook her head. "What has gotten into her…?"
As Koboshi pushed the gates open, she caught sight of the lone daisy settled on the floor. She looked back at the house and frowned. "Sorry, Mom… I'm just saying 'Thank you'…" She leaned down to pick up the daisy, held it to her chest, and continued to run after the boy who loved her.
