Kuu was wearing his sun glasses for people not to recognize him as he entered his former school; the place still looks the same since the last time he saw it although he felt a little nostalgic being there after such a long time.

If there is one place he would like to be at it would be the Drama Club room where most of his high school memories were made. As he entered the drama club room he can't help but smile upon entering it. He thought, I used to be here all the time and now I am someone everyone looks up to.

Kuu glanced at some albums that were there to look back at his humble beginnings upon looking at it he can't help but smile and feel a little sad when he saw a familiar face he would never forget. The face of Mogami Yoko the girl she first loved and if fate was ever with them she could be his wife now.

I wonder how she's doing it's been a long time since I last saw her I better look for her.

After returning the photo albums to the shelves he decided to leave to look for Yoko. He walked by the baseball field where he and Yoko always watched the school team play. As he went there he saw someone sitting at the place where he and Yoko would always sit. Curiously he went to see who was sitting there, he removes his sunglasses and to his surprise it was Yoko who was sitting there.

Both of them were stunned to see each other after being apart for long, the beating of their heart can't be stopped from beating violently as they never expected to see each other again not in the same place where they used to hang out before.

"K….uu." Yoko said with her voice shaking.

"I…"

Kuu can't hold his feelings anymore; he embraced Yoko for he thought he would never see her again. She also longed for him even though her heart has found a new man her feelings for Kuu did not disappear as she cried in his shoulders.

Hearing her cry Kuu separated himself from her and wiped her tears with his thumbs.

"I always make you cry even now I still made you cry."

Kuu said as he embraced her again.

"I regret the day I left you to pursue my dream, I should have not left you." Kuu said feeling regret to Yoko and anger to himself.

"It has been done Kuu you left me alone and never wrote back on my letters, fame has changed you drastically." Yoko said with anger in her voice.

"You were the one who never wrote back I was sending letters everyday for a year but no answer came back it was you who changed Yoko."

"I never received any of your letters the only letter I received from you is that you have given up on me and will marry Juliena."

Kuu fell to his knees upon hearing Yoko; he was sending letters to her he even asked his mother's help to send it to her but the only letter she received was the letter of him letting her go. Everything is now clear to him his mother did not send any of his letters and the letters from Yoko was received by her and returned back to her.

"That bitch! She played with us like pawns in a chess game! I'll never forgive her even if she is my mother!" Kuu screamed in anger as he punched the wall with his bare fist making it bleed.

Yoko worried at Kuu's bleeding fist wraps her handkerchief around it.

"Why the sudden burst of anger towards your mother?" She asked confused at what he just did.

"The bitch controlled our letters she was the one who send your letters to me back to you. She only sent the last letter I wrote for you. I should have not trusted her, I should have trusted only myself I was the one who put our love into sham."

"If your mother did not control our letters you would have not met Juliena and have a child with her. Maybe it was for the best that it happened." She said faking a smile at Kuu.

Kuu stood up from his knees and looked at Yoko with sad eyes. "Maybe it was but how about you, did your life turned better?"

Yoko did not answer if Kuu had found his happiness for her it was the opposite the only good thing that happened to her was that she now have a stable job and a man who loves her but the rest was a different story.

"I would like to talk to you more but I really need to be going. The headmaster's looking for me." She said walking hastily away from him.

He knew she just want to be away from him, he lost her once and will never lose her again. Kuu followed her and waited for Yoko until she was finished with her meeting with the headmaster.

After her meeting with the headmaster Yoko was surprised to see Kuu waiting for her outside.

"You followed me here? Don't you need to be going with your busy schedule and all?"

"I don't have anything to do today so I was wondering if I can at least spend the day with you. But if you have other schedules planned I will not disrupt with your schedule and leave at this moment."

At first Yoko was hesitant because of Kuu's popularity as Hozu Shuuhei and everyone knew he was married with a son and to see him in public with a woman would create a fuzz. If there is something that is hard to control it would be gossip especially on popular people like Kuu and she would not want that to happen.

"Still thinking if you will spend some time with me? Don't worry we will not go in public places, we will only go to the watermelon farm where we usually go before it is summer so there must be plenty of watermelons right now."

Like always Kuu was able to think in advance he knew what she was worried about without even saying it to him. It's like he can read through her mind or he just know her too well.

"Alright let's go to the watermelon farm then." Yoko said smiling.

It's been ages since he saw her smile like that unlike her smile earlier which he knew she just faked. The farm was not that far from their school it was just a few miles from their school. There was silence between them and the distance they had from each other has been as far as two feet from each other.

He hated silence it was the worst thing for him aside from being hungry.

"Uhmm….I was wondering where you work right now."

It wasn't what he wanted to ask but he just wanted them to have a topic rather than being silent until they reach the farm.

"I am working in a company that pays well. I was wondering when you will introduce me to your family."

"About that, they were in America now. I was left alone you see."

"Don't you feel sad being here in Kyoto without your family? You could have shown them where you grew up."

"I was sad but when I saw an old friend I am not that lonely anymore." Kuu said with a frown in his face

She ceased walking while he did not notice her that she stopped walking.

"You must love Juliena a lot seeing your expression right now."

Kuu looked back at her, he can't explain her face if she was disgusted with the fact he was a family man now or she was sad because of their ill fate.

"I do, I love her she's the mother of my son whom I love more than life itself."

Yoko run fast away from Kuu, she did not want him to see her crying after hearing him. Things could have gotten better for them if she was born rich like Juliena she thought to herself.

He already knew she was crying so he followed her. Because of tears that somehow blocks her sight Yoko was not able to see the crater and she tripped over it spraining her ankle. She was not only crying because of pain in her heart but also from the pain in her ankle.

What a day.

She said to herself holding into her injured ankle.

After seeing her in pain Kuu immediately rushed to her aide.

"It must be sprain you need to rest your ankle to prevent it from aggravating or it could lead to dislocation or worst case scenario a fracture." Kuu said while inspecting Yoko's right ankle.

"I'll be fine there is no need for you to be worried about me."

She said as she was forcing herself to stand up but the pain was too much to bear for her and standing up aggravates it even more.

"Stubborn as always." Kuu said as he forcibly carried her in his arms.

"Let me go, I did not ask for any of your help."

Suddenly the rain started to pour and Kuu started running while carrying Yoko, he needs to find shelter fast or they could be sick with flu. Luckily for them there was a hut nearby the watermelon where they could stay until the rain stops.

Kuu took off his shirt and removed his shoes and socks and hanged them before starting the fire in the fireplace. Yoko was not removing any of her clothing she was just sitting idly by the corner shivering as she was waiting for the fire.

"Remove your clothes and hang them, you could catch a cold or flu if you let yourself dry like that."

His body was awesome it was different form the last time she saw it; he had muscles then but not as firm as they were right now. She was just staring at him unable to do anything for she was mesmerized at her former boy friend's body.

"Come on stop daydreaming, I guess I have to remove them myself."

Kuu undressed her leaving her until the only clothing left in her is her underwear. Yoko immediately turned her back from Kuu.

"I was about to remove them, no need for you to force me out of my clothes!" Yoko said angrily while shivering.

"I'm sorry then, I was just concerned with your health. I don't want you to get sick I already had your ankle sprained and I can't afford getting you sick also." He said as he hangs her clothes

Kuu looked inside the drawer to see if there is some blanket to cover Yoko who was shivering so badly. He saw one and he immediately placed it around her body.

"This is the only blanket in here and you need it more than I do. Wait for me I'll get some watermelon for us to eat I am hungry already from carrying you." He said smiling at her.

AN: Sorry for the rather short chapter last time I only summarized something about Kuu and Saena and now this chapter is a lengthy one and so will be the next one because they have to be detailed in order to explain the truth to all of you readers. I also apologize when I sometimes update late leaving you all in questions. I know everyone hates Sho and will hate him a lot more on the upcoming chapters.

Condolences on those who died in the bus bombing the other day and the workers who died today in the construction site.
