Hatsuharu walked across the cement sidewalk which was surrounding the national park. The ox sighed as he looked up to the sky, it was really sunny and warm but that still didn't stop him wearing leather… it was his trademark, his long strong legs stretched across the material as he made his next steps. The sixteen year old's grey eyes looked across the yellow sands to where all the people where enjoying themselves.

It was then that he saw her… she was laying face first on an orange towel – typical he rolled his eyes; she still used that colour, the colour of her first love. Haru stepped onto the sandy area and decided to go and say hello to his older cousin. He watched her carefully. She was wearing a light green bikini which was near enough see-through, although, he really shouldn't have been looking. Her dripping wet brown hair told easily that she had been in the ocean before he arrived.

"Kagura-nee." He spoke clearing his voice to get the brunette's attention. Yes, he still called to her like she was his sister. He met light silver eyes as her gaze went on to him. She propped herself up on her elbows as she smiled and returned his hello. He watched the curves of her bust but instantly stopped those thoughts from becoming all he thought of. He kneeled down beside her and looked at the magazine that she had been reading – Myou Tensei – Dark Angel's magazine… well… he didn't know that she liked that sort of magazine.

Kagura blushed – which he noticed – as he spotted something encircled in pink marker, it was something that was written about a male rocker who she must have had a crush on. Yeah, he had heard of him before… he was actually a good singer; he had an album somewhere in his house.
"How are you, Haru-chan?" She asked as she placed her hand on his knee to get his attention. She didn't know if there was anything wrong… yet she wasn't a mind reader – that still didn't stop her from caring.
"I'm fine." That was her answer to which she smiled once more and rolled onto her back before sitting up to be at the same eyelevel.
"That's good."

Haru swept sweat from his forehead, it was very hot.
"So how's school? I heard that you got into trouble… and on your first day too." Kagura smiled almost laughing. She had heard about this from Yuki. She was quite concerned actually…
"It was hardly trouble… the bastard deserved it." Haru spoke as Kagura just nodded as she watched him remove his shirt showing his rather toned chest – she raised an eyebrow which Haru noticed and made that noticeable by forming a smirk on his lips. It was a pity, she hadn't noticed about how Haru was with her before that moment. He may have called her his sister but he was always protective and cared about her in a way which was more than just brotherly and… was it true… did she really care about him in the same way that she cared for Kyo… even more than she cared for Kyo?

She didn't know how to make certain of it… she could only think of one thing… but she had to take a deep breath in and think about it. She was saving her first kiss for Kyo… should she really waste it on Haru to see if she loved him or not? Though that didn't seem to matter as she didn't have to make the first move, Haru had already pressed his lips onto hers, she caught her breath at first but… it felt so good… so right. He parted from her almost as quickly as he kissed her but the smile was still apparent on his lips.
"Shh…" He said as she was about to say something. "Listen." He said as he held her close to his chest. She smiled as she closed her eyes and listened… yeah she could hear it… the sound of waves. Though the reason why she was smiling was mostly because she had found her true love and it seemed that he loved her too!
