AN: To be honest, I don't really remember all the exact details of the KGB incident so I did my best to write out the scenario.

It was a hot summer day and Kyosuke chuckled as he watched his girlfriend pace around in circles on the pavement. She was so caught up with her thinking that she didn't even notice beads of sweat trickling down her temples. Kyosuke caught her and proceeded to kiss her but she covered his mouth with her hand, staring at him with wide eyes.

"How can you be so casual about this?"

Kyosuke kissed the palm of her hand and he moved her hand to his shoulder, leaning in to kiss her."

"You're not the one racing so you shouldn't be so nervous, Haru."

Haruka blushed at Kyosuke's nickname for her and she gave him a small smile.

"But how come you're not nervous? I'm so scared for you, Kyosuke."

"Don't be. Everything will be all right; we're going to win End of Summer. I'm going to win it for you," Heath shouted Kyosuke's name and Kyosuke gave her another kiss, "I have to go now. Watch me run."

"I will. I know you'll win."

Kyosuke smiled and he kissed Haruka's hand, turning to walk away.

"Kyo!" Kyosuke turned around at her voice, "Run like the wind, Kyo."

Kyosuke's face lit up and he nodded. Haruka blew a kiss to Kyosuke as he walked away and she quickly hurried to the front lines to watch Kyosuke run.

The two teams were announced and the runners were introduced with their pictures flashing on large screens that were scattered throughout the course. The runners then went to their starting positions and Haruka hurried to the the takeover zone where Heath and Kyosuke would connect. She heard the buzzer go off and she knew the race had started.

She anxiously fidgeted in place as she watched the runners run. The camera switched between the runners who were en route to the next runners, who were stretching and getting into position. Honan's starter reached Tomoe, who was the next runner, He took off like a bullet and he ran effortlessly; the camera could barely keep up with him and Haruka held her breath when she saw Kyosuke darting out from his position.

"Go, Kyosuke! Go!

Haruka cheered as loudly as she could and she screamed until her throat gave out. Kyosuke and Tomoe flashed on the screen and Haruka's breath caught in her throat when Kyosuke and Tomoe made contact, their hands connecting for a brief moment before the camera attempted to follow Kyosuke.

The camera panned to Heath, who was preparing himself. He set off and Haruka felt the adrenaline rush as Kyosuke raced towards the takeover zone to meet Heath. The camera flashed and Haruka stared at the screen, her expression filled with shock, as the camera panned on the runner from the other school. There was no Heath.

Haruka heard the security guards murmuring and an alarm went off in her head, the adrenaline slowly dying down in her veins. She heard words like "runners" and "Honan" and her heart dropped, her thoughts immediately racing to Kyosuke. Deciding to take a risk, Haruka jumped over the railings and ran towards the takeover zone to see what had happened with Kyosuke and Heath. She saw someone on the ground and her heart dropped when she saw that it was Heath on the ground, clutching his leg. He was injured and Haruka could hear him groaning but his groaning increased when an upperclassman kicked the leg he was clutching.

Another upperclassman joined the first and Haruka ran faster when she saw Kyosuke jump in between Heath and the upperclassmen. The two upperclassmen swung their fists but Kyosuke dodged and he punched the two upperclassmen, knocking them to the ground.

"Kyosuke!"

He didn't seem to hear her and the rest of the team was gathering to the area. She could hear murmurs of disapproval from the rest of the teammates as someone helped Heath sit up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have just been informed that Honan has been disqualified from the race due to an unprecedented incident …"

The announcer's voice barely registered in Haruka's mind. Her mind was filled with Kyosuke and his heartbroken eyes.
