Here is chapter six and I'm happy to know that people actually read my AN's. So special mentions go to…… PrincessOfTheDigimon, Khajmer and Kira2667 for correctly guessing that Hayate is in fact Kari's ex-boyfriend and the one who turned into what she is now. I would also like to give a special thanks to Phoenixe825, who has only just started reading the story and has reviewed every single chapter!
That was point one, point two is about Itxaro's name. It's Basque (a language spoken in the north of Spain) and it means 'hope'. I thought it had a little Japanese ring to it, so… I used it.
Point three, this chapter is basically a filler as it is all flashbacks but important for the story.
So sit down, enjoy, and read on!
Chapter 6: Remembering the summer.
Kari POV
The summer. I remember it to perfection. For me summer started at the graduation party, when Hayate and I got back together. I knew perfectly and still know that going back to him was a big mistake, but when he cupped my cheek and looked into my eyes I gave in…
Flashback
I had been having a great time so far, dancing for ages with the girls. It was almost two o'clock and the party was in full swing. I looked around trying to get a glimpse of TK who I had abandoned since the party had started when a pair of hands covered my eyes and whispered 'guess who' in my ear. I froze. I knew that voice. I turned around to find my ex-boyfriend Hayate standing behind me.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked him angrily
"Well, this is my graduating party" he responded, his voice full of arrogance.
"Wow, I'm impressed, you have managed to graduate" I said sarcastically with a sly smile on my lips. He sneered.
"I'm not as stupid as you think then" he said, a smug smile on his lips. "And by the way, who is that blondie that you came with?" he asked.
"That is none of your business Hayate" I said angrily "and would you do me the favour of not standing so close to me. I don't want any of your big headedness slipping of on me" I retorted back
"You can pretend to be angry with me if you like, but I certainly know better, I know you still want me" he said.
"You wish" I spat out, my words full of venom. It was not only until he nearly kissed me that I realised that my choice in words hadn't been the correct. Suddenly TK appeared out of nowhere. Thank god.
"Is every thing ok here?" he asked
"Yeah, everything is fine TK, there is no need to worry" I said in a sweet voice.
"Yeah, everything is fine TK" Hayate said in a high pitched voice trying to imitate me.
"Hayate, shut it" I said in a cross tone "and TK please, just go away. We will talk later, I promise." I added. And so he did. Ten minutes later I plonked myself down beside him
"Look TK, I appreciate you caring about me, but everything is fine you needn't worry" I said with an apologetic face.
"Are you completely sure that everything is ok? I mean that guy didn't look very trustworthy to me"
"Yes I said! Geez, you are getting on my nerves. I would really appreciate it if you don't try and but into my life. Please?"
"Yeah, sure, ok, sorry. Anyway we should get a move one Tai is going to flip if I don't get you back by half two and its quarter past already" I smiled to myself, he didn't know that I had rung home and 'arranged' to stay at Aina's to sleep.
"Oh, I already called home, I'm staying at Aina's tonight, they said it was ok, so don't fret" I said kissing his cheek "see ya!" I yelled and with that I disappeared into the crowd.
A while after someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around to see Hayate standing behind me.
"What do you want now?" I asked. The situation was stressing me.
"I just wanted to say that I was sorry for the way I acted earlier. Will you forgive me?" he asked with puppy dog eyes.
"I, um" I started saying
"Please Hikari, forgive me" he said cupping my cheek and staring into my eyes. I melted at that very instant.
"I forgive you" I said smiling. He smiled too and before I knew it he had closed the space between both of us and his lips were upon mine.
End flashback
That was how we got back together but this summer has given me so many other memories, like that time when Hayate gave me a pleasant surprise…
Flashback
I had had a boring day so far. I had looked after Itxaro, washed up, done the laundry made the beds and the cooking. I was lying on my bed listening to music when my mobile rang. I saw Hayate's number flash across the screen.
"Hello?" I said picking it up
"Hi baby. I'm outside your front door, and I've got a surprise for you" He said
"I don't like surprises and you know it" I said
"I know, but you will like this one, promise" he responded
"Ok I'll be right there" I said succumbing to his surprise.
It turned out to be a lovely and romantic surprise. We walked through the park under all the blossoming sakura trees and the invited me to an ice cream and finally we went on a boat sailing on the lake that was in the park. I had a great time and Hayate proved that he could be a little thoughtful when he wanted.
End flashback
I sighed at the memory. 'Why couldn't it be like that all the time?' I wondered to myself. Everything would be easier for sure. I sighed again. I needed some sleep desperately, because the next day was back to school time.
TK POV
"Have you got everything ready for school dear" my mother called as I was heading up the corridor.
"Yes mom, I have got everything" I shouted back at her.
"Ok, good night then, I love you!"
"Yeah, same, night"
I was nearly at my bedroom door when my mother called
"Takeru, where is my goodnight kiss?"
"Yeah, why hasn't little Teeks given mommy her little night-night kiss?"
"Shut up Yamato!" I shouted at my brother who was standing at his door frame laughing.
I went to give my mother her retched kiss and finally got to rejoice in the tranquillity and peacefulness of my bedroom. I couldn't believe that summer was over and that the next day I would be heading to school. The summer had been quite interesting. I had done all sorts of things with the guys and I had spent time with Aimi. Speaking of Aimi, she is a nice person but is a little bit too dumb, maybe very dumb. I remembered to perfection a conversation we had had one day in summer.
Flashback
I had been waiting for over thirty minutes at the McDonalds in the shopping centre and Aimi was late, as usual. I sighed. Five more minutes and I was getting out of here. Five minutes passed and nothing. I was about to get up and leave when I heard a girly shrill of 'Takeru!' behind me.
"Oh my gosh! I'm sorry I'm so late but my parents have just told me the coolest news" she said kissing me.
"What news? I asked her as we sat down.
"We're going on holiday! To Italy! Can you believe it? We're going to go to Rome and see that round theatre thing and to the Vatican City that's like the capital of Rome"
I just looked at her "Er, Aimi, Vatican City is not Rome's capital, it's a country"
"No, Vatican City is the capital of Rome and Rome is a country in Italy"
I looked at her, not believing what me ears were hearing "Aimi honey, Rome is the capital of Italy, and the Vatican City is a country inside Rome" I said. She just stared at me blankly "it's were the Pope lives" she cocked her head to the side and bit her lip thinking.
"Is the Pope a person?"
End flashback
'Yes, she is dumb' laughing at the memory. I looked at the clock. It was very nearly 12 o clock if wanted to be awake the following morning I'd have to get some sleep.
So… chapter finished. Lol. Guess what? I finally got the trailer up on You Tube!! Go me! You can find it under the name of lunanavarro just put that in the search box. The trailer is far from perfect but well… It's done.
Have you guys noticed that I hate Aimi?
Last of all: REVIEW!!
Hugs and kisses
