"R-Rinu?" asked Kiyoshi.
"K-Kiyo? Oh I uh… I shouldn't be here. " Said Rinu.
"Rinu wait!" shouted Kiyoshi as he grabbed Rinu by the wrist. "You're running from me again! Why? Why did you leave me for him?"
"K-Kiyo let go! You're hurting me!" shouted Rinu. Everyone in the cafeteria turned to look at what was happening.
"Rinu! Why? You need to tell me why!" shouted Kiyoshi.
"Let her go Kiyo!" shouted another voice. Yukio stood up from the silenced table in the corner.
"Kiyoshi! What are you-?
"Yori get back! I need to do this!" shouted Kiyoshi.
"Kiyoshi stop! You're going to get expelled! Please stop! You can't ruin everything you've worked for like this! Kiyoshi!" shouted Yori.
"Listen to your new girlfriend Kiyo! Let mine go!" shouted Yukio.
"Yori's not my girlfriend and I will not let Rinu go! She's not yours you know!" shouted Kiyoshi.
"She's my girlfriend! I let her go you bitch!" shouted Yukio. Yukio ran and punched Kiyoshi in the face. Kiyoshi fell with a moan and tried to move away. He didn't let go of Rinu's wrist the whole beating.
"Stop it Yukio! Stop!" shouted Rinu.
"Shut up Rinu! I need to knock some sense into him!" shouted Yukio.
"Kiyoshi!" screamed Yori. Yukio raised his arm for one final blow when Yori stepped between them, only seconds too late. She was hit in the face and knocked unconscious.
"What is going on here? Kiyoshi, Yukio, why I'd never thought you two would fight like this. You two aren't children. Detention, both of you after school and if this ever happens again you'll get suspended." Shouted the school principle as she split the two boys a part. "Oh and take miss Yori to the nurse. She needs immediate attention."
"I'll take her…" Said Kiyoshi. He took one final glance at Rinu and looked away. Her eyes followed his hurt expression and she went to aid Yukio with his bruises.
-In the Nurse's office-
Kiyoshi walked over to a free bed and laid Yori onto the soft sheets and covered her with the blanket.
"Yori…Will she be okay Miss?" asked Kiyoshi.
"Don't worry about your girlfriend, I'll take mighty fine care of her. Just promise to come back and see her later after school." Replied the Nurse.
"Not to be rude but she's not my girlfriend. She's my cousin." Replied Kiyoshi.
"Oh what a shame. You too look just like the perfect couple. Well I'm sorry for making that assumption. Come back later to take her home then." Replied the Nurse.
"Thank you." Replied Kiyoshi as he lowered his head in shame.
-In the hallways-
I embarrassed Rinu and Yori, I shamed the school, and I hurt Yori…I don't deserve to be still standing.
"Kiyoshi?" said a worried voice.
"Oh Tanna… hey sorry about all this." Apologized Kiyoshi.
"Umm it's not problem. Umm Kiyoshi? Is it all right if I call you Kiyo?" asked Tanna.
"Why the hell would you want to call me that?" asked Kiyoshi.
"Oh umm… I'm sorry… if I can't I won't." replied Tanna.
"Never mind. It's okay, go ahead and call me Kiyo if you want." Replied Kiyoshi.
"Yay! Okay well your next class is Art. That's the class that's most known in APETW. It's also our best class of all. In fact it's the best art class in all of Japan!" shouted Tanna.
"Cool. Let's go…" said Kiyoshi.
-With Yori-
"Yori? Yori! Yori…" said a faint voice.
Who's calling me…"K-Kiyoshi?" asked Yori.
"No, it's Jess." Replied Jess worried.
"J-Jess? I-I feel so tired… what happened?" asked Yori.
"I wasn't there at lunch but as soon as I heard you got punched in the face I quickly rushed to the nurse's office. I'm so relieved that you're all right." Said Jess. "For now… you should get some rest…"
-With Kiyoshi-
"How was art class?" asked Tanna.
"Very exciting… it's more than what I ever expected." Said Kiyoshi.
"That's good. Say, since school's over for the day, want to grab a candy fruit stick or Popsicle?" asked Tanna.
"It's the end of the day already?" asked Kiyoshi.
"Yes, now we're free to do anything we want." Said Tanna.
"Cool, well that sounds nice but I really need to check on my cousin…" said Kiyoshi as he walked away and left Tanna in a sad disappointment.
-In the Nurse's office-
"Yori? Yori!" shouted Kiyoshi. "I'm sorry I'm late but excuse me miss, do you know where my cousin went?"
"Oh hello again. She just left with a tall looking American boy. Why?" asked the Nurse.
"Thank you that's all. Shit! That damn bitch!" said Kiyoshi as he rushed out the room in anger.
-With Yori-
"J-Jess… d-do you… do you s-still…" started Yori as she walked along Jess's side hand in hand.
"What is it? Don't be afraid to ask. I won't get angry I promise." Replied Jess as he faced Yori.
"D-Do you… s-still l-l-l-love m-me?" asked Yori blushing nervously.
"Yori…" began Jess as he pulled her into an embrace. "I love you Yori. I never forgot that one sunlit morning when I told you I loved you…because I truly do Yori… I love you."
"J-Jess…" started Yori. Jess smiled tilted her blushed face up to his and slowly planted a kiss onto her smooth soft lips.
"What the hell do you think you're doing you bastard!" shouted a familiar voice. Jess and Yori parted and looked to see Kiyoshi huffing and puffing and shouting angrily.
"K-Kiyoshi!" said Yori softly.
"Yori get the hell away from him! He just wants you, that is all!" shouted Kiyoshi as he pulled Yori from Jess's side.
"Let go of her! You don't know what you're doing! What if she wants to be with me? How are you supposed to know that I only want her and not love her for any other reason? I admit it it's true! I want you Yori… I want to take your body and plunge into you. But that's not why I love you! We've been friends since little kids! You can't just let that friendship just roll down the drain! So now, Yori answer this question. Do you want to be with me? Or do you have no feelings whatsoever?" shouted Jess desperately.
"I-I…" started Yori.
"Yori! Don't listen to him. That's it, I'm taking you home and you are to never see him again! Got that? I'm going to make sure of it! We're leaving!" shouted Kiyoshi angrily.
"Kiyoshi let go of me! I am supposed to choose my own path! Find yours and I'll find mine! Leave me alone will you? It's my life Kiyoshi! I may be your cousin, but you still have no right to just barge into whatever I'm doing and-
"I love you." Said Kiyoshi without thinking. Why the hell did I just say that? We're cousins for crying out loud! I should think before I speak. Damn! I seriously messed up this time!
"W-what…" said Yori under her angry breath.
"I said I love you." Said Kiyoshi who just decided to continue.
"I know you love me, you're my cousin for god's sake! I love you too." Said Yori not understanding the right idea.
"No, I do love you as a cousin and family member, but I also love you… as in the love between a girl and boy. I love you Yori. That's why I always get jealous of Jess… that's why I never want to hear you mention his name, that's why I want you Yori… I want you." Said Kiyoshi without thinking.
"N-no impossible… y-you're s-suppose t-to l-l-l-love R-Rinu… t-there's n-no p-p-possible way y-you c-could l-l-l-love me l-like that!" replied Yori confused and angry. "I-I love Jess…" Kiyoshi clenched his fists in anger as he stomped off shouting.
"Fine! Do whatever the hell you want! I won't care anymore. If you get hurt, I'll let you get raped by this guy! If you love him so much then why don't you go move in with him instead of causing us so much damned trouble!"
"Fine! Then I will live with him!" shouted Yori as she huffed and puffed. She'd never been in an argument like this before… and it frightened her. She didn't want to argue with Kiyoshi… but then again she wanted him to know that she loved Jess… and since the beginning of her time she loved Jess because he was always there for her. He was the one who said, "I love you" first. She loved Kiyoshi… but her heart belonged to Jess. This was the way it had to be…
"Y-Yori… a-are you sure you want to come live with me in my apartment?" asked Jess surprised.
"Y-Yes." Replied Yori.
"Aren't you afraid that my temptation will overcome me… and I'll go crazy if I don't do it? Aren't you afraid to live with someone who loves you but can't even touch the hair on your back? Aren't you afraid? At all Yori?" asked Jess.
"N-No… I-I'm not scared. As long as it's you I won't care because I love you." And those were Yori's last words before she gave Jess a deep kiss and then they set off to get all her stuff.
-With Kiyoshi-
"Damn it Yori! Why did you have to choose him? I loved you and I finally said it… but I wish I didn't open my stupid mouth. Yori… why… and why the hell did I come up with the idea of her living with Jess? What if she really does live with him? I wouldn't be able to handle that. The thought of her living with him in the same house makes my blood boil and my heart beat fast. I need to make up with her… if I don't who knows what could happen. He might finally be able to have his chance and taste her! That damn bastard!" thought Kiyoshi strongly as he reached the front door of his house. But when he got there, he heard Yori's voice talking with Aunt Kura. He decided to listen in.
"A-Aunt Kura… I'm going to be living with one of my old friends from now on. So you won't have to worry about me and I won't have to cause much trouble for you and Kiyoshi anymore." Explained Yori nervously.
"Yori… what made this sudden change happen all of a sudden? Did something happen between you and Kiyoshi? Is that why? You know, sometimes he's just so thickheaded… I'm sorry if he did something informal or rude. No matter where you go, Kiyoshi and I will always be here for you and your room will always be ready just in case. If you ever need us, you know where to find us. Now, are you sure this is what you want to do?" asked Aunt Kura.
"…Yes." Replied Yori.
"All right honey, well I hope you have a good healthy life, be sure to visit us once in a while. You know I'' always here to talk! Be safe and don't let your guard down… you don't know what can happen when you're living with a guy… just be careful okay honey?" said Aunt Kura as she gave Yori a kiss on her forehead and a very tight hug.
"Thank you Aunt Kura… I love you." Said Yori as she hugged Aunt Kura back. Kiyoshi waited a few moments until Yori was finally gone before coming out into the light.
"Oh Kiyoshi! Y-You're home… I thought I heard you walking in up the steps." Sniffled Aunt Kura. She was crying. "Y-You (sniffle) just missed Y-Y-Yori, w-what a s-shame. W-well… I-if you don't mind… I'll be in my room drinking one whole bottle of sake."
"Mom… I… never mind." Said Kiyoshi angrily as he stomped up to his room. But before walking into his room, he stopped by Yori's and slowly opened the door. It was empty. She was gone. Nothing of hers was left in the cold room, nothing at all. Suddenly, without thinking a tear fell down Kiyoshi's cheek. He caught it with his arm but more of them fell out. He was crying… again… just like he did for Rinu… except this time, it was for Yori.
