*Sorry, I've wrote this ages ago and I was suppose to post this during the valentines day but I forgot.. lol*
The room was dark with only a few lit of candles as source of light. At the head of the table was a man in his mid 30's with olive skin and long red hair. A curve pipe resting between his cracked lips. His face was beautiful in a seasoned soldier way, with a few scars splattered across his face. Kneeling by his side is one of his trusted assassin, clad in black. "So, that is where the brat is hiding huh?" his voice is harsh with a hint of amusement. "Seems like planting you at that place is the right choice after all. Who else with him?"
"Hurricane Bomb Hayato, sir.."
"Hmm.. interesting. Take at least 7 of my best men with you.. we're going to attack by the end of this week." The man ordered.
The assassin grunt in disapproval. "Did you not believe in my worth, master? I don't need a back..." the man shot a glare at the youngster, shutting him. "Are you disobeying me, K?" the youngster trembles in fear. The man burst into laughter at the sight. "My foolish child, it's not like I'm not believing in your power, that is just how much I want that brat to die." He stood and walk towards the window.
"He'll pay for shaming me."
Their days are the same,
"Good morning, Kyoko-chan" he will greet her each morning.
"Good morning.." she will reply. He will then proceed with asking her how was her day (yesterday), and she would tell him all the boring details before asking him the same question. And he would vent to her about all the ways the kids in his house tortured him. They would have a laugh like aa close friend would, making some of their classmates jealous; the girls of her and the boys of him. Then the teacher will enter the classroom and their conversation dies.
During lunch break, he will spend the time with Gokudera at the school rooftop, but not before asking if she and Hana would like to join them. She would refuse every time, giving him 1001 excuses as to why she can't join them. And then, the school would end. They would have a small chat before she went to do her duty as a member of the school council while he would went home together with Gokudera.
The day would end with her once again unable to call him by his name.
'Tsuna-kun', somehow her tongue would froze whenever she tries to refer, or call him by that name. Somehow, it felts so wrong. Like, although she has already excepted that 'he' is Tsuna but at the same time he is not the Tsuna. Of course he is not the Tsuna, Tsuna-kun has already dead 3 years ago.
Stop! Why am I like this? Tsuna-kun is not dead! He is here, right here, right by my side..
"Sasagawa-san?" the voice brought her back to reality. The boy in front of her flashes her a gentle smile. "I'm sorry, what did you say Kamijou-senpai?" Kamijou shakes his head, "I was asking you if you're alright. You look a little off these days.." Kyoko stares at the boy. Kamijou Riku is the President of the school's student council. He has this frail, sheltered prince aura, with his fair to the point of pale skin striking red hair that doesn't suit his pale complexion, and gentle, handsome face. He transferred at their school during the first semester of his third year. Usually a transferee would not be elected as a president of the student council but with his good looks, and popularity he manage to grab the position albeit not voluntary. He would always said that he was chosen as a president as a form of bullying by other student. His humbleness is what Kyoko likes about him.
"I'm fine, senpai. Maybe just a little tired. Thank you for being worried about me." She replied. "If that so, should we end this and go home?" Kyoko quickly waves her hands. "It's ok, really.. besides we still have a lot of things that needed to be done.." the boy quickly catches her hand. "It's ok.. there is always tomorrow right. Come, lets finish up. I'll walk you home."
The school ground was empty. Well, it's almost 6 and all of the school sports club usually don't have training today. "Are you ready?" the boy asked. Kyoko nods. Their walk home is quiet awkward. After all, they never be alone together unless in the student council room and during that time they would be too busy with their work to event talk to each other.
"Uh.. Sasagawa-san, are you seeing someone right now?" the sudden question took Kyoko of guard. "Eh? Unn.. no. Why?"
"It's nothing, it just that I notice that you're close with the new transfer kid, what is his name again? Sawada is it? So I thought that maybe you two were.." Kyoko quickly wave her hands in denial. "No, we're not a couple!" Kamijou burst into laughter. "Denying so quickly, people will suspect that you two are a secret couple you know.."
"We really are not.. a couple." She said, "We were classmates during middleschool and we were very close before he.." before I thought he died "..went to study abroad. And now he's back, it feels only natural to.." be with him.
"You doesn't sounds sure.." comment Kamijou. Kyoko was stunt. I doesn't sounds sure? "Hey, do you want to talk about it?" Kyoko stares at the boy. His red hair looks like a burning flame under the light of sunset.
"Lets talk about Sawada-kun.."
