Despite it all

"I'm sorry Hikari, I'm sorry for what I did to you and Takeru." Catherine told her. "I told Nicole to tell you all those things about him."

"It's ok Catherine."

"No Hikari, it's not ok." She told her as she started crying. "I did it because I have a crush on him, and I though that If I couldn't have him the nobody could."

"At first I was happy, but then I saw how miserable you and Takeru were." She explained. "And I realize that if you love someone, you want him to be really happy, even though that happiness does not include you, but it was too late and there was nothing I could do about it."

Hikari hugged her, trying to comfort her.

"Don't cry, of course I forgive you, everybody makes mistakes." Hikari told her with a smile. "It means a lot to me that you've told me the truth."

"That was the least I could do after hurting you."

"Thanks a lot Cath, now, go home and get cleaned up ok? If there's something else you need to talk about just call me."

"Thanks Hikari, you are such a wonderful person. I'm sorry I didn't take the time to realize it."

"It's ok, better late than never." Hikari told her with a smile.

Catherine smiled back and went home.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Do you want me to walk you home?" Takeru asked.

"No, thanks, I'm staying late at school today." Hikari told him with a smile.

"Ok, see you tomorrow then."

"Bye." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Takeru got out of school, he was about to head home, but he decided to wait for Hikari instead. He was thinking about what happened between them only some time ago so he wanted to spend more time with her, she was his best friend, and he treasured their friendship a lot.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Takeru what are you doing here?" Hikari asked confused.

"Waiting for you." He answered.

"So that means you've been here for 2 hours?"

Takeru nod with a huge smile.

"Thanks Takeru, you are great." She told him smiling. "Then, it's the three of us."

"Three?" Takeru exclaimed confused.

"Yes, Hiro, offered to walk me home and I agreed." She explained him.

"Ok, great." Takeru said.

Throughout the way home, Hikari was talking to Hiro all the time, and just saying a few words to Takeru; at first, Takeru didn't mind, but sometime later he started to feel uncomfortable, and for some strange reason, he started to remember something.

- Flash back starts -

"Hikari hurry up." Miyako exclaimed. "The guys are already here."

"Ok, ok, but keeping mind that I don't like clubbing, I'm just going cause you guys want to go to that new club."

--------------------------------------------------------------

"I want to go home!" Hikari shouted due to the music.

"What?" Miyako asked.

"I want to…"

"Ok, I'll take you dancing." Said a voice, interrupting her.

Hikari raised her head to see the person that had just told her that.

Her jawed dropped and she tried to hide it, the person who had talk to her was a really good looking guy, at least for her.

"You want to dance, don't you?" The guy said.

Hikari could only nod.

After they finished dancing the guy ask her to go to a special place on the club design for people who wanted to talk, which she agreed.

They talked about everything and they were having a wonderful time. The guy's name was Jason; he was a senior at Hikari's high school.

On the other side, Takeru had been looking for Hikari, he hadn't seen her in a while and he was getting worried.

Some time later, he spotted Miyako.

"Have you seen Hikari." He asked her.

"Yes, she's over there, with that hot guy." She answered.

When Takeru saw them, he felt something in his body, something that made him feel angry, that made him want to get Hikari out of there, he was jealous.

He couldn't control his emotions, he head to where Hikari was, grabbed her arm and pulled her out of there.

"What's wrong with you? Can't you see I'm talking to Jason?" Hikari told him madly and head to where Jason was, but Takeru grabbed her hand and stopped her from going.

"We are going home." He told her.

"Ok, but let me say goodbye to him." She said.

She went to say goodbye and Jason gave her a kiss on the cheek.

That made Takeru furious, he felt his blood boiling.

He did something he never thought of doing; he punched Jason on the face, grabbed Hikari's arm and took her out of the club.

"What's your problem?" she said madly.

"What's my problem?" he exclaimed. "Don't you mean yours? Hikari that guy's a senior and you are what? A soft man?"

"So what? My dad was 5 years older than my mum. " She said matter –o-factly. "And you dad is older too, besides he is only a friend."

"Yes, but… " He tried to say madly.

"You had no right to hit him." She said "He wasn't doing anything wrong, why did you do it?"

"I don't know, I just wanted to, I guess."

"You are not like that Takeru, why did you do it?"

Takeru had to lie, he couldn't tell her that he was jealous.

"I already told you, Now lets go find the guys and head home." He said.

"Then, I guess I don't know you as I thought I did." She told him really sad. "You have really disappointed me."

Those five words hurt him a lot, she was his best friend, one of the people he cared for the most and hearing that from her made his heart broke.

"Hikari I…"

"Don't talk to me, not right now; I'm not in the mood."

"I…I did it because I was jealous, ok?"

"Really?" she asked not believing what she had just heard.

"Yes." He said blushing and started walking to the club.

"You have nothing to be jealous, you are the one I love, but I just can't tell you that." She whispered.

"What?" he asked.

"I said, thanks Takeru, I feel really happy cuase you told me the truth, besides, no one had ever told me something like that before."

"That's what friends are for." He said smiling.

Flash back ends –

"Hey! Takaishi." Hiro exclaimed.

"Ah? What?" Takeru exclaimed getting back to real life.

"What's wrong?" Hikari asked him with a worried expression on her face.

"Nothing, I was just remembering something, no big deal."

"Did the memory make you sad? You seem a little depressed is something bothering you?" Hikari asked.

"No."

Hikari looked at him on the eyes.

"I know something's bothering you, if you don't want to tell me it's ok, you know how much I hate pressuring you." She told him

"I'm ok, don't worry."

All the way home Takeru didn't talk, he just stared at the floor, and when Hikari talked to him he'd only give her a small smile.

Some time later they arrived to her apartment.

"Bye Hiro, thanks for taking me home." Hikari told him smiling.

"Anytime." He answered smiling. "Bye Takaishi." He said and went away.

"Bye Hikari, see you at school." Takeru told her.

"Can you come in for a second?"

"Yeah, sure whatever."

They went inside Hikari's house and head to the kitchen, they sat on the stool.

They said nothing.

"I'm fine Hikari." Takeru said breaking the silence.

"What makes you think that I assume you are not ok?" She told him. "Can't I ask my best friend to come to my house just to hang out?"

"Light angel, every time something was bothering me, I told you about it sitting here, every time I had a problem we'd talk about it here, or anytime something was bothering you, we talked here."

"Ok, ok you caught me." Hikari replied. "What's wrong?"

"It's just that…uhm.. It's nothing really."

"Come tell me." Hikari told with a puppy face.

"I was jealous of Hiro."

"Of Hiro? Why?"

"You were talking to him all the time, and you only said a few words to me, I'm sorry."

"It's ok, you don't have to apologize, I understand."

"I'm pretty sure you understand, cause you have felt the same way like a million times, since I' m such a lady's man."

"Ha! You wish."

"Excuse me?" Takeru exclaimed and started tickling her.

"-Ha-ha- Takeru stop-ha-ha-"

"Not until you admit it."

"No."

"Ok then, suit yourself." He told her and started tickling harder.

Hikari couldn't stop laughing.

"Ok, ok you are a lady's man."

"See, it wasn't that hard." He said and stop tickling her.

They got out of the kitchen and head to the apartment door.

"Since you are already here, don't you want to stay and catch a movie?"

"Yes, sure why not?"

Hikari smiled at his answer and went back to the kitchen to make some microwave popcorn.

After the movie, they started to talk, and after about an hour, Takeru went home.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Next Monday during lunch time…

"Hey guys." Hikari exclaimed. "Would you happen to know were Takeru was yesterday, I tried to contact him, but he wasn't home, I tried calling his cel, but it was off."

"Yes." Ken said. "He spent the day with his father yesterday."

"With his father? don't you mean with Saori?" Daisuke said in a teasing tone.

"What, who's Saori?"

"He hasn't told you anything?" Daisuke asked.

"No, I haven't seen him all day." Hikari explained. "Anyways, who is she?"

"Just some girl he met yesterday." Ken said.

"It's incredible how much they have in common, I mean, he loves basket as much as he does, they have the same favorite bands, they have almost the same ideas about everything." Miyako said.

"How come I don't know about this?"

"I don't know, why you don't go ask him yourself." Ken said. "He is over there."

Hikari went to where Takeru was, who was with Saori.

She was about to talk but was interrupted.

"Hi." Saori exclaimed. "You must be Hikari; Keru has told me a lot about you."

"He has? Like what?" Hikari asked annoyed.

"How amazing and wonderful you are, that you've been best friends since he could remember and that you are so important to him."

"Oh, I see." Hikari said. "Can you excuse as for a second? I need to talk to him."

"Yes, sure no problem." Saori said smiling.

"Thanks" She told her with and angry tone.

"Takeru come here!" She said and took him inside school.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Hikari what's wrong?" Takeru asked her.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Hikari exclaimed. "First of all you forgot about yesterday, you forgot about our Sunday hang out, then I call you and you don't answer. I left you like three messages on your cel and you never call me back. Then, you avoid me at school, and then you change me for a "cute" girl you just met."

"Light Angel that's not it, I…"

"I don't want to hear what you have to say, leave me alone." She told him mad and started to leave.

"Hikari wait!" He said "At least let me say something."

"Ok, but make it quick."

"I'm sorry I forgot to call you." He said. "And, what are you talking about? I haven't been avoiding you, you are my best friend, I wouldn't change you for anything or anyone, I care too much for you to do something stupid like that. Saori is just a friend, she is just someone I met, and she not as important as you are for me, trust me." He explained her calmly.

"I'm sorry is just that you are my best friend Takeru, I care for you deeply, and the idea of losing you really hurt me;I hope we'll be friends for ever."

"You can be sure of it Hika, because, besides all the bad things that had happened to us, all the times we've fought, we always find a way to made up. And you are the greatest friend anyone could ask for. So, yes Hikari, we are going to be friends, wait, Best Friends for ever. " Takeru told her.

Takeru smiled and hugged her; she smiled and hugged him back.
