Author Notes:
It's out on time? What can it be? Maybe it isn't the right story!
Yes, my friends I have written and now posted this story on time and online! LOL!
Sorry it that sounded so good I had to put that on...
Why am I in a really good mood? It's because I'm doing well in school right now! Yes, except
for a very boring Sociology Professor I'm okay. For once in my life I think I'm going to do
pretty well in my English course. My teacher seems pleased with my writing though she does
seem that she wants to help me improve my writing.
Anywho I'm going to admit something, this chapter was actually written in one sitting,
I put my hands on the keyboard and suddenly the story was there after two hours. I really
mean it, well I did had to go over a few parts but it's pretty much how it came out.
Am I worried? Hell yes, I'm worried that you guys might not like it.
This chapter/scenes were suppose to be mixed in other chapters in the future, but I thought
since the last chapter was a bit heavy I'll lay back a bit and just allow this to end some
sub-plots and start some sub-plots at the same time. So this chapter is pure fluff, not much
plot movement but just some enjoyment of the moment...
Again thank you for all those who reviewed,
d:
Well... We'll see huh?
kallie:
Thank you the characters depth is one of the things I'm really working on.
Oh and yes they did implant something into Henry's head, so far you guys know it's a radio
of sort, but there's going to more later... LOL! Oh yes, good job, yes I didn't like
the training part of the story. I've tried so many times to rewrite it but it didn't work.
Takako:
You are right, the training mission is what I hated too. I couldn't figure out how to improve
it so I just let it stay at it is.
Teenager Rika:
Sigh You're right, when I posted the chapter I wasn't completly sure of it. However
I hope this chapter is getting better. Not writing for some time does that sort of to me I
guess... Even though I write in a notebook I don't really link the scenes...
NiChoMiMeSaJe:
Which part didn't you understand on Henry and Sarah? The part of the training mission?
Because I'm very sure most people didn't understand because I thought that was a very badly
written part. However if it's about their conversation then I'll explain.
Sarah Rowen is actually Alice Hitomi. Alice Hitomi however is just an Alias. Sarah which
is not really a name but another Alias that she uses has been in the Agency all her life.
She came from an Adoption house in Britain which she was stolen from. She was stolen by an
operative from the Agency to use for his cover. She at present still stays with this agent as
she has him as close to a father as possible. Her code name is Wraith, it is the only name that
has stuck with her all her life. In fact it is even longer then Sarah Rowen... Hope that helps.
Henrika:
Whoops! Didn't see that, I fixed it though... Hypnos and Hypnosis... Sheesh...
LB:
Thank you, I'm glad you are still reading this story. I've actually been hoping that everyone
has been able to figure out the title by now... That little line from Kazu on the last chapter
just fit so well I couldn't resist putting it down.
~*Jenruki*~:
Yeah, it's confusing huh? You should see my notes, it's so scribbled now because all these
plots and sub-plots in this story I can barely figure things out when I write stuff. LOL!
littleweirdwriter:
Thank you for your concern on my knee... It's going to take some time and possibly a surgery
but I'm sure I'll be good as new in... Well some time... Congratulations, yes, I detested
the training part since it was so hard to write... Sigh But one does one best...
LOL! Yeah, I was scared someone was going to notice that Digimons fell off the earth... I'll
try to add them in the future... I have to admit, I shamelessly used them in the past just
to get some narration and some explanation through... Hehehe... Oops...
Red Moon Kree:
LOL! I was hoping to shock everyone with that scene... LOL! Oh if anyone actually expects me
to write out an entire play, forget it! I already tried... It didn't turn out so well...
Teenager Takato:
Well, I hope this chapter is a little better, I'm getting back on the bike of writing and I'm
trying to pedal as well as possible.
§Ñ§:
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy my writing... I hope I can keep you and everyone else interested
in this story till the end... Yes there is an end to this story but it's quite a bits away still.
Trust me it's a doozy of an ending. LOL!
Your honesty and encouragments really help me to write.

On The Line
Chapter 25/?
*******************
It was Thursday, not that Suzy noticed, school seemed so much duller from usual, everything in
her eyes seemed grey. Her heart pounded when she remember it would be the last years she'll
ever walk in these happy halls. Her future loomed ahead of her, ensuring her that she would
never have the chance of walking down the halls of junior or even high school like her older
brothers and sister. Never going to have a chance in going to a prom, she sighed; opening the
locker she stared at the pictures that decorated her locker. Her eyes fell on a picture of the
group at the carnival, she stood beside Kenta with one of his arms over her shoulder, they were
all laughing enjoying the moment together... It seemed so long ago.
"I can't believe you are not going to stay," said Ai putting her coat into her locker, "I mean
I'm losing my best friend, you are going to miss High School, Junior High, and Graduation, you
won't even have a prom..."
"It'll be worth it," said Suzy softly, she was glad that Ai had put away the fight they had at
Kenta's party after she had told her that she was leaving school at the end of the year. Suzy
definitely was scared now more then ever, now everything was a lot more real, she was giving a
lot for a boy. A boy who didn't appear to return her feelings, but why was she still willing to
go through with it then, she wondered. When she thought about it even though she was scared she
wanted to follow Kenta, as long as he was willing she was going to be there for him and
hopefully one day he'll be there for her.
"Are you sure?" asked Ai worried, "He hasn't even asked you out, he hasn't done anything to
deserve you Suzy... I don't want to discourage you Suzy but... Maybe... Maybe you should
reconsider... Maybe Kenta isn't worth all this stuff your giving up... You know prom, future
boyfriends, school memories, your friends?"
Suzy closed her eyes, taking a deep breath she sighed shaking, "I'm scared Ai, I'm really am,
but I'm doing this because I want to, because I need to... I have to find out..."
Feeling a presence behind her Suzy noticed Ai's eyes were adverted to the person standing behind
her, turning slowly she saw Kenta looking down at his feet, glancing back up to her he looked
scared as she felt.
"Kenta," Suzy whispered.
Kenta smiled tentatively, "I want to... Suzy... Let's go?"
"I got class," said Suzy softly.
"No you don't," said Kenta, "I know."
"How?" asked Suzy her voice shaking.
"Kazu," answered Kenta, pulling out several pad of papers out of his backpack he handed it to
her.
With shaking hands Suzy took the paper glancing at it she saw they were two copies of several
application forms for University not only in Japan, but also all over the world. All of them
were filled out one for her and the other for Kenta, looking up in surprise Kenta kept his gaze
averted from her.
"What are these?" asked Suzy half afraid and half excited.
"Our application forms for Universities," answered Kenta, "I thought we can hand them in
together."
Suzy looked down at the application forms not sure what to say, "Kenta..."
Kenta looked up at Suzy he was shaking slightly from fear, but surprising he held up a steady
hand as an offer.
Glancing at Ai who shrugged, Suzy looked back at Kenta's hand, biting her lip in determination
she took it, "Okay."
Kenta's shoulders sagged in relief, pulling Suzy close he tilted Suzy's head slightly up with a
hand, Suzy's eyes wide in surprise she watched Kenta lean closer to her. Closing her eyes she
savoured the incredible feeling of Kenta's lips against hers.
The kiss was soft and sweet, innocent but passionate in it's own simple way, pulling away Kenta
laced his hand through Suzy and they both headed to the office to start their future.
*******************
"And one and two and three and four... And one and two and three an... Mr. Matsuki is there a
problem?"
Takato glanced over his shoulder at the shrilly dance teacher, she was about his height but she
was definitely thin, almost an exact replica of Barbie except with black hair and pale blue
eyes. Even though they were the same height he definitely felt intimidated by her, "No, Miss
Grenchka, I just stepped on my..."
"Yes I can see that," Sophia Grenchka cutting off the poor boy, "help your partner back up and
let's get on with it you clumsy boy."
Face burning he helped Juri back to her feet, "Sorry Juri," whispered Takato.
"It's okay," winced Juri giving her boyfriend a small smile, "you're trying your best, don't let
the bossy women bother you."
The music started up again and their teacher started to clap her hand to the beat, "One and two
and three and four... And one... Mr. Matsuki what are you doing?"
Takato looked around bewildered, not knowing what he had done wrong.
Juri also looked dumbfounded as she glanced over herself and Takato.
"You are not holding your partner properly," screeched Sophia, turning to another pair, "you
Sam, leave that clumsy girl of yours and change partners with this clumsy boy... They'll suit
each other better."
Takato glanced over to see Sam and frowned, the boy was 6'2 he was taller then Takato, his black
hair was nicely done up in a high designer fashion, Takato was sure that Sam had spent the
better part of two hours doing.
Shrugging Sam left his partner and sauntered over to Juri and Takato, "Excuse me," said Sam in a
deep voice.
Takato glanced at Juri who shrugged not knowing what to do, "Well hurry up Mr. Matsuki we don't
have all day and you are now wasting my time and everyone else in the class," shrilled the
teacher.
Grumbling Takato released Juri and walked to his new partner.
"Now that is all settled, let us begin again," said Sophia clapping her hands.
"Hi," said the girl smiling nervously up at Takato.
"Hey," said Takato glancing over at Juri and Sam, noticing Sam slipping his hands lower his eyes
darkened, before he could do something however Juri stopped and pulled Sam's hand back up
properly to her hip jabbing a finger into the boy's chest as she admonish something to him.
"I'm Melany by the way," said the girl.
Takato turned back to his new partner, "I'm..."
"Takato," said Melany cutting him off, "you're sort of famous in school."
"I am?" asked Takato surprised.
"Apparently you and your girlfriend are the longest running couple so far," answered Melany
brightly, "I think they said... Eleven months?"
"It's actually a year and a quarter, nearly a year and a half," said Takato smiling.
"Wow, well anyways is that must be Juri," Melany nodded at Juri and Sam dancing very well to
Takato's annoyance.
"Yeah," sighed Takato, "I guess I was too clumsy for her..."
"It's okay," said Melany sympathetically, "I'm apparently clumsy too."
"You're boyfriend?" asked Takato shrugging towards Sam.
Melany shrugged, "I don't know... Maybe... We were when we started this a week ago... Now?
Who knows..."
"I'm sorry," apologized Takato.
"Don't," shrugged Melany, "his a bit stuck up, I should dump him anyways."
CRACK!
The loud slap halted the entire room turning their gaze to Sam and Juri, Sam was rubbing his
cheek while Juri stormed towards Takato, grabbing his hand she pulled him out of Melany's arms,
"His mine," snapped Juri. As she passed Sam she growled, "If you ever try to touch my ass
again I'll let Takato beat you silly."
Without another word she hauled Takato out of the dance hall, Takato hurried after Juri,
"Juri..."
"It was a stupid idea," said Juri walking fast, "oh... It'll look sexy... Oh it's great
exercise... Oh it would have been so glamorous..."
"It was a good idea," said Takato, "it would have looked sexy, it was good exercise, and it
would have been glamorous... Well I'm guessing the last part..."
Turning to his boyfriend her hair swinging wildly as she turned, "You were right Takato, why
don't you just say it, this was a stupid idea!"
"No," said Takato firmly.
"No?"
"No," confirmed Takato, "this was a great idea for us to do... To learn something together...
It was just ruined by a jerk, who when I see at school again, I'll beat to a pulp... But this
was a great idea."
Juri closed her eyes and sighed.
Tentatively Takato put his arms around Juri allowing their foreheads to rest against each other,
"We'll try again... Different teacher... Different place... Okay?"
"Definitely different teacher," agreed Juri, tilting her head she kissed Takato softly, "I'm so
sorry."
Takato shook his head, "No... Don't okay, don't be sorry."
Looking to Takato's eyes that were filled with love and caring she sighed, "Okay."
Smiling Takato gently lifted Juri's head slightly pressing his lips against hers he felt a warm
rush flush through him.
Juri shivered as Takato explored her mouth, feeling her knees go limp she wrapped her hands
around the back of Takato's neck and held for dear life as she pulled closer to him. They
stayed there kissing softly as people passed them surprised for the blatant show of love.
Pulling away slowly, Juri smiled up at Takato her arms still around him, "What was that for?"
"Well you did look sexy," said Takato smiling softly.
Juri shivered from Takato's voice, "I did," she admitted smiling back up at Takato impishly,
"but you looked like a idiot."
Dropping to one knee Takato looked up adoringly at Juri, "My lady, if acting like a fool is a
way to your heart, I will always be your most humble fool."
"Stop it," laughed Juri slapping Takato lightly on the shoulder, "get off the ground Takato,
let's get some coffee, it's cold out here."
Allowing Juri to pull him off the ground Takato laughed, holding onto Juri's hand tightly he
spun her lightly till she was against him, covering her mouth with his he drank her in deeply.
Juri moaned, pulling away from Takato, she patted him on the shoulder, "Stop it, it's getting
harder for me to think..."
"Is that so bad?" asked Takato huskily.
Juri's lower lip trembled, "No... I guess not."
Takato leaned in closer to Juri, closing her eyes expecting a kiss but before their lips
touched, Takato smiled, "Let's get some coffee." Pulling away from Juri he pulled her towards
a coffee shop.
"Tak-ato," whined Juri.
"What?" asked Takato innocently.
"You owe me a kiss," said Juri pulling at her boyfriend's arm to try to halt him.
Takato grinned but kept pulling Juri towards the coffee shop, "I do?"
Seeing that she didn't have the strength to stop him Juri leaped onto his back, "You owe me a
kiss," cooed Juri into Takato's ear.
Takato shivered as he piggybacked Juri, "I don't remember having an IOU for a kiss..."
"You are going to deny me a kiss?" asked Juri flabbergast.
"Well I do want coffee," teased Takato.
Juri started to nibble at her boyfriends ear, "You owe me a kiss Takato Matsuki and I intend to
get it."
Takato froze in shock by Juri's action, "Juri... Juri... St... Stop," stammered Takato losing
concentration, his body was shaking from what Juri was doing to him.
"Why?" asked Juri impishly as she started to plant kisses down Takato's neck.
"Because... Because... Were in public," said Takato meekly as he stumbled trying to keep
walking.
"If they watch their voyeurs," said Juri grinning as she continued her ministration, "if you
want this to stop, then give me a kiss."
Struggling, Takato finally put Juri down, spinning quickly he pressed Juri against a wall of a
building, framing her face tenderly, his eyes filled with longing, "Do you know what you do to
me?"
Returning his gaze Juri was breathing heavily, "Do you know what you do to me?"
Pressing Juri against him Takato moaned, as he tasted the sweetness of Juri's lips, Juri moaned
as Takato's tongue slipped into her mouth. Sighing her hand ran through his messy hair, as he
held her waist close to him. There they stood kissing soundly as the world passed them, the
coffee shop forgotten only two steps away.
*******************
Rika chewed her lower lip as she studied physics, well overall she doubt it could be called
studying considering she hadn't consumed one ounce of information that was in her text for the
last hour. The reason was simple, he was sitting beside her, her head was resting on his
shoulder as he studied a text of his own.
Henry Wong had arrived about an hour ago, they had not planned anything and Rika knew she had to
study; she apologized to Henry explaining she couldn't go out. Instead of leaving like she
thought he would, well like Ryo usually did he smiled and said it was fine. Taking her hand he
kissed her lightly before walking to the couch where she was studying. Pulling out a book of
his own Henry began to study while playing with Rika's hair while she tried to study resting her
head on his shoulder.
"Are you processing anything in your text?" asked Rika breaking the silence.
There was a pause, "No," admitted Henry, "I actually haven't processed a single information of
my book since I sat down."
Rika sighed smiling she was glad she wasn't alone on this problem, "I sort of can't concentrate
either."
"What should we do?" asked Henry, neither of them had moved form their position of mock
studying.
"Well there has to be something on our mind that is causing us to fail in studying," reasoned
Rika, "what's bother you?"
"I think it's you," said Henry softly, "you're intoxicating smell, your soft hair, your warm
skin, and I think I can actually feel love from you."
Rika blushed, "I think it's you for me too..."
Henry smiled knowing how difficult even that statement for Rika to say was, "What do you think
we should do?"
"Well, since both our minds are on each other I think we should try to get rid of it," said Rika
trying to force a smile away.
"How do you propose to do that?" asked Henry in amusement.
"Well you can try holding me," suggested Rika.
A clutter as Henry and Rika's books fell to the floor, two strong arms encircled her pulling her
closer and onto Henry, "This better?"
Rika shivered nodding unable to speak as her heart began to quicken.
"I think we should kiss a bit," suggested Henry.
Rika nodded absently, "That might be good," she said breathlessly.
Carefully and slowly they leaned towards each other...
"We're home!"
Springing apart Henry and Rika stood turning towards the kitchen from where the sound came
from.
Rika's mother walked out of the kitchen patting her hands, "Rika we got a bunch of take out as
a treat and..." Noticing Henry and Rika blushing slightly as they edged away from each other,
Rumiko Nonako smiled knowingly, "I see you two were entertaining yourself."
"Um... Mom, well you see we were studying and," began Rika flustered.
"You see we were," began Henry at the same time.
Rika's mother raised an eyebrow glancing at Henry and Rika's discarded books that were a few
feet from them, "I can see that... What were you two studying anatomy?"
Rika and Henry flushed but stayed silent.
"Henry stay for dinner," ordered Rumiko.
"I've got to go home," began Henry, seeing Rika's mother's face he changed him mind, "I'll just
call my parents."
"Good boy," nodded Rumiko smiling, turning to her daughter, "come along Rika you can leave
Henry for a few seconds."
Not willing to provoke her mother further Rika nodded meekly and followed the older Nonako
glancing over her shoulder she saw Henry mouth, "I love you."
Smiling Rika blew him a kiss.
*******************
The night's air was cool, comforting, allowing a beautiful setting of the moon that was high in
the night's sky. The air was crisp filled with the pleasant smell of the sea, the gentle noise
as the water splashing against the rock face wall that protected the land before retreating back
to it self. The clouds had disappeared for the night allowing the stars to twinkle, combined
with the brightly lit city the view was breathtaking.
"I was wondering when you'd get here."
Ryo walked slowly closer to the waterfront, a beautiful brunette girl stood before him, her back
was turn to him as she leaned against the railing staring out into the dark waters and sparkling
city. "I got your message a few minutes ago."
Sarah grinned, "Liar."
Ryo smiled walking up beside her he leaned against the railing, "Yeah, I was debating whether I
should come or not."
"Why did you?" asked Sarah.
Ryo shrugged, "I don't know."
"This could ruin your reputation," said Sarah amused.
"Some things are more important then a reputation," said Ryo calmly.
"I asked you here to tell you something..."
Ryo shook his head, "I can guess already... It's no isn't it."
"How did you know?" asked Sarah.
"Henry... He said you were working through some things and you needed time," answered Ryo.
"So why did you came?" asked Sarah turning slightly to Ryo.
"Because I want you to reconsider... Because I had fun too... Because I know you did," stated
Ryo, his eyes never leaving the view of the water and city.
Sarah smiled sadly, "It would never work out at the end Ryo."
"I'm not asking you for a commitment," said Ryo, "I'm just asking you now, today."
"Not aiming high are you?" teased Sarah.
"No changing the topic," answered Ryo softly, "you always change the subject when I ask
something personal."
"It wouldn't work," said Sarah turning to Ryo, tracing his face with her hand, "you're Ryo
Akiyama."
"I'm also just a boy," said Ryo touching Sarah's hand, "I don't care about being famous, you're
Alice Hitomi and I want to get to know more about you."
Sarah sighed, "I'm so sorry Ryo."
Ryo looked down at his feet, "I am too."
Leaning closer to each other they turned back to stare at the peaceful view while they enjoyed
each other's company for the night.

The kiss was soft and sweet, innocent but passionate in it's own simple way, pulling away Kenta
laced his hand through Suzy and they both headed to the office to start their future.
*******************
"And one and two and three and four... And one and two and three an... Mr. Matsuki is there a
problem?"
Takato glanced over his shoulder at the shrilly dance teacher, she was about his height but she
was definitely thin, almost an exact replica of Barbie except with black hair and pale blue
eyes. Even though they were the same height he definitely felt intimidated by her, "No, Miss
Grenchka, I just stepped on my..."
"Yes I can see that," Sophia Grenchka cutting off the poor boy, "help your partner back up and
let's get on with it you clumsy boy."
Face burning he helped Juri back to her feet, "Sorry Juri," whispered Takato.
"It's okay," winced Juri giving her boyfriend a small smile, "you're trying your best, don't let
the bossy women bother you."
The music started up again and their teacher started to clap her hand to the beat, "One and two
and three and four... And one... Mr. Matsuki what are you doing?"
Takato looked around bewildered, not knowing what he had done wrong.
Juri also looked dumbfounded as she glanced over herself and Takato.
"You are not holding your partner properly," screeched Sophia, turning to another pair, "you
Sam, leave that clumsy girl of yours and change partners with this clumsy boy... They'll suit
each other better."
Takato glanced over to see Sam and frowned, the boy was 6'2 he was taller then Takato, his black
hair was nicely done up in a high designer fashion, Takato was sure that Sam had spent the
better part of two hours doing.
Shrugging Sam left his partner and sauntered over to Juri and Takato, "Excuse me," said Sam in a
deep voice.
Takato glanced at Juri who shrugged not knowing what to do, "Well hurry up Mr. Matsuki we don't
have all day and you are now wasting my time and everyone else in the class," shrilled the
teacher.
Grumbling Takato released Juri and walked to his new partner.
"Now that is all settled, let us begin again," said Sophia clapping her hands.
"Hi," said the girl smiling nervously up at Takato.
"Hey," said Takato glancing over at Juri and Sam, noticing Sam slipping his hands lower his eyes
darkened, before he could do something however Juri stopped and pulled Sam's hand back up
properly to her hip jabbing a finger into the boy's chest as she admonish something to him.
"I'm Melany by the way," said the girl.
Takato turned back to his new partner, "I'm..."
"Takato," said Melany cutting him off, "you're sort of famous in school."
"I am?" asked Takato surprised.
"Apparently you and your girlfriend are the longest running couple so far," answered Melany
brightly, "I think they said... Eleven months?"
"It's actually a year and a quarter, nearly a year and a half," said Takato smiling.
"Wow, well anyways is that must be Juri," Melany nodded at Juri and Sam dancing very well to
Takato's annoyance.
"Yeah," sighed Takato, "I guess I was too clumsy for her..."
"It's okay," said Melany sympathetically, "I'm apparently clumsy too."
"You're boyfriend?" asked Takato shrugging towards Sam.
Melany shrugged, "I don't know... Maybe... We were when we started this a week ago... Now?
Who knows..."
"I'm sorry," apologized Takato.
"Don't," shrugged Melany, "his a bit stuck up, I should dump him anyways."
CRACK!
The loud slap halted the entire room turning their gaze to Sam and Juri, Sam was rubbing his
cheek while Juri stormed towards Takato, grabbing his hand she pulled him out of Melany's arms,
"His mine," snapped Juri. As she passed Sam she growled, "If you ever try to touch my ass
again I'll let Takato beat you silly."
Without another word she hauled Takato out of the dance hall, Takato hurried after Juri,
"Juri..."
"It was a stupid idea," said Juri walking fast, "oh... It'll look sexy... Oh it's great
exercise... Oh it would have been so glamorous..."
"It was a good idea," said Takato, "it would have looked sexy, it was good exercise, and it
would have been glamorous... Well I'm guessing the last part..."
Turning to his boyfriend her hair swinging wildly as she turned, "You were right Takato, why
don't you just say it, this was a stupid idea!"
"No," said Takato firmly.
"No?"
"No," confirmed Takato, "this was a great idea for us to do... To learn something together...
It was just ruined by a jerk, who when I see at school again, I'll beat to a pulp... But this
was a great idea."
Juri closed her eyes and sighed.
Tentatively Takato put his arms around Juri allowing their foreheads to rest against each other,
"We'll try again... Different teacher... Different place... Okay?"
"Definitely different teacher," agreed Juri, tilting her head she kissed Takato softly, "I'm so
sorry."
Takato shook his head, "No... Don't okay, don't be sorry."
Looking to Takato's eyes that were filled with love and caring she sighed, "Okay."
Smiling Takato gently lifted Juri's head slightly pressing his lips against hers he felt a warm
rush flush through him.
Juri shivered as Takato explored her mouth, feeling her knees go limp she wrapped her hands
around the back of Takato's neck and held for dear life as she pulled closer to him. They
stayed there kissing softly as people passed them surprised for the blatant show of love.
Pulling away slowly, Juri smiled up at Takato her arms still around him, "What was that for?"
"Well you did look sexy," said Takato smiling softly.
Juri shivered from Takato's voice, "I did," she admitted smiling back up at Takato impishly,
"but you looked like a idiot."
Dropping to one knee Takato looked up adoringly at Juri, "My lady, if acting like a fool is a
way to your heart, I will always be your most humble fool."
"Stop it," laughed Juri slapping Takato lightly on the shoulder, "get off the ground Takato,
let's get some coffee, it's cold out here."
Allowing Juri to pull him off the ground Takato laughed, holding onto Juri's hand tightly he
spun her lightly till she was against him, covering her mouth with his he drank her in deeply.
Juri moaned, pulling away from Takato, she patted him on the shoulder, "Stop it, it's getting
harder for me to think..."
"Is that so bad?" asked Takato huskily.
Juri's lower lip trembled, "No... I guess not."
Takato leaned in closer to Juri, closing her eyes expecting a kiss but before their lips
touched, Takato smiled, "Let's get some coffee." Pulling away from Juri he pulled her towards
a coffee shop.
"Tak-ato," whined Juri.
"What?" asked Takato innocently.
"You owe me a kiss," said Juri pulling at her boyfriend's arm to try to halt him.
Takato grinned but kept pulling Juri towards the coffee shop, "I do?"
Seeing that she didn't have the strength to stop him Juri leaped onto his back, "You owe me a
kiss," cooed Juri into Takato's ear.
Takato shivered as he piggybacked Juri, "I don't remember having an IOU for a kiss..."
"You are going to deny me a kiss?" asked Juri flabbergast.
"Well I do want coffee," teased Takato.
Juri started to nibble at her boyfriends ear, "You owe me a kiss Takato Matsuki and I intend to
get it."
Takato froze in shock by Juri's action, "Juri... Juri... St... Stop," stammered Takato losing
concentration, his body was shaking from what Juri was doing to him.
"Why?" asked Juri impishly as she started to plant kisses down Takato's neck.
"Because... Because... Were in public," said Takato meekly as he stumbled trying to keep
walking.
"If they watch their voyeurs," said Juri grinning as she continued her ministration, "if you
want this to stop, then give me a kiss."
Struggling, Takato finally put Juri down, spinning quickly he pressed Juri against a wall of a
building, framing her face tenderly, his eyes filled with longing, "Do you know what you do to
me?"
Returning his gaze Juri was breathing heavily, "Do you know what you do to me?"
Pressing Juri against him Takato moaned, as he tasted the sweetness of Juri's lips, Juri moaned
as Takato's tongue slipped into her mouth. Sighing her hand ran through his messy hair, as he
held her waist close to him. There they stood kissing soundly as the world passed them, the
coffee shop forgotten only two steps away.
*******************
Rika chewed her lower lip as she studied physics, well overall she doubt it could be called
studying considering she hadn't consumed one ounce of information that was in her text for the
last hour. The reason was simple, he was sitting beside her, her head was resting on his
shoulder as he studied a text of his own.
Henry Wong had arrived about an hour ago, they had not planned anything and Rika knew she had to
study; she apologized to Henry explaining she couldn't go out. Instead of leaving like she
thought he would, well like Ryo usually did he smiled and said it was fine. Taking her hand he
kissed her lightly before walking to the couch where she was studying. Pulling out a book of
his own Henry began to study while playing with Rika's hair while she tried to study resting her
head on his shoulder.
"Are you processing anything in your text?" asked Rika breaking the silence.
There was a pause, "No," admitted Henry, "I actually haven't processed a single information of
my book since I sat down."
Rika sighed smiling she was glad she wasn't alone on this problem, "I sort of can't concentrate
either."
"What should we do?" asked Henry, neither of them had moved form their position of mock
studying.
"Well there has to be something on our mind that is causing us to fail in studying," reasoned
Rika, "what's bother you?"
"I think it's you," said Henry softly, "you're intoxicating smell, your soft hair, your warm
skin, and I think I can actually feel love from you."
Rika blushed, "I think it's you for me too..."
Henry smiled knowing how difficult even that statement for Rika to say was, "What do you think
we should do?"
"Well, since both our minds are on each other I think we should try to get rid of it," said Rika
trying to force a smile away.
"How do you propose to do that?" asked Henry in amusement.
"Well you can try holding me," suggested Rika.
A clutter as Henry and Rika's books fell to the floor, two strong arms encircled her pulling her
closer and onto Henry, "This better?"
Rika shivered nodding unable to speak as her heart began to quicken.
"I think we should kiss a bit," suggested Henry.
Rika nodded absently, "That might be good," she said breathlessly.
Carefully and slowly they leaned towards each other...
"We're home!"
Springing apart Henry and Rika stood turning towards the kitchen from where the sound came
from.
Rika's mother walked out of the kitchen patting her hands, "Rika we got a bunch of take out as
a treat and..." Noticing Henry and Rika blushing slightly as they edged away from each other,
Rumiko Nonako smiled knowingly, "I see you two were entertaining yourself."
"Um... Mom, well you see we were studying and," began Rika flustered.
"You see we were," began Henry at the same time.
Rika's mother raised an eyebrow glancing at Henry and Rika's discarded books that were a few
feet from them, "I can see that... What were you two studying anatomy?"
Rika and Henry flushed but stayed silent.
"Henry stay for dinner," ordered Rumiko.
"I've got to go home," began Henry, seeing Rika's mother's face he changed him mind, "I'll just
call my parents."
"Good boy," nodded Rumiko smiling, turning to her daughter, "come along Rika you can leave
Henry for a few seconds."
Not willing to provoke her mother further Rika nodded meekly and followed the older Nonako
glancing over her shoulder she saw Henry mouth, "I love you."
Smiling Rika blew him a kiss.
*******************
The night's air was cool, comforting, allowing a beautiful setting of the moon that was high in
the night's sky. The air was crisp filled with the pleasant smell of the sea, the gentle noise
as the water splashing against the rock face wall that protected the land before retreating back
to it self. The clouds had disappeared for the night allowing the stars to twinkle, combined
with the brightly lit city the view was breathtaking.
"I was wondering when you'd get here."
Ryo walked slowly closer to the waterfront, a beautiful brunette girl stood before him, her back
was turn to him as she leaned against the railing staring out into the dark waters and sparkling
city. "I got your message a few minutes ago."
Sarah grinned, "Liar."
Ryo smiled walking up beside her he leaned against the railing, "Yeah, I was debating whether I
should come or not."
"Why did you?" asked Sarah.
Ryo shrugged, "I don't know."
"This could ruin your reputation," said Sarah amused.
"Some things are more important then a reputation," said Ryo calmly.
"I asked you here to tell you something..."
Ryo shook his head, "I can guess already... It's no isn't it."
"How did you know?" asked Sarah.
"Henry... He said you were working through some things and you needed time," answered Ryo.
"So why did you came?" asked Sarah turning slightly to Ryo.
"Because I want you to reconsider... Because I had fun too... Because I know you did," stated
Ryo, his eyes never leaving the view of the water and city.
Sarah smiled sadly, "It would never work out at the end Ryo."
"I'm not asking you for a commitment," said Ryo, "I'm just asking you now, today."
"Not aiming high are you?" teased Sarah.
"No changing the topic," answered Ryo softly, "you always change the subject when I ask
something personal."
"It wouldn't work," said Sarah turning to Ryo, tracing his face with her hand, "you're Ryo
Akiyama."
"I'm also just a boy," said Ryo touching Sarah's hand, "I don't care about being famous, you're
Alice Hitomi and I want to get to know more about you."
Sarah sighed, "I'm so sorry Ryo."
Ryo looked down at his feet, "I am too."
Leaning closer to each other they turned back to stare at the peaceful view while they enjoyed
each other's company for the night.
