"Akito-kun! Do you think Aya-chan would like this?" asked Tsuyoshi shoving a big purple bear in front of Akito face. The two had gone to the mall, shopping for Valentine Day. While Tsuyoshi was ogling various bears, candies and cards, Akito was in a pickle, trying to overcome the touchy-feely atmosphere that was drifting around the store.
"Sure…?" Akito said, not really paying attention; he had is own problems to worry about. Sana. He needed to find her something. He was a little worried about her 'Special Homemade Chocolate' because even though there was a chance, it probably wasn't for him. Knowing Sana, it was probably some older guy she met in show business. He sighed, watching Tsuyoshi Dance with the big purple bear. What a fool, he thought. I wish I could be like that…

Sana was surfing through the jewelry department, thinking bout how this holiday for a saint that basically no one knew what he did was going to affect her. She held a shopping bag on her right arm full with the supplies to make chocolate; the molds and all. She was only in the jewelry story because Aya, Mami, and Hisae had dragged her in there. Honestly, she thought. They are obsessing WAY too much about this. She peered thought the earrings and looked at the bracelets. Hisae-chan doesn't have a boyfriend. Nether does Mami-chan…and Aya-chan is gonna make hers drown in a mountain of gifts. I don't think anything will be that same after this yea- oh! She was walking past the bracelets to the jewelry sets, where she found something absolutely breath taking, at least, it was to her. It was a necklace, bracelet, earrings set, with interchangeable chains and bands. She picked up the package, examining it carefully. The jewels were shaped like hearts, with a swirling pink and blue inside of a gold border. The swirls looked like ice cream; the two colors were twisted together in harmony. The earrings had numerous little hearts hanging by 1 ½ inch chains surrounded by a large silver hoop. The necklace held the heart design larger than the earrings that would open to place pictures inside. The bracelet was a chain, basically a charm bracelet, with cupids, the heart design, stars with the same pink and white swirl, and a simple phrase
'The Angel of Hearts has given me Light'
Wonderful! She marveled the set with sparking wide eyes. Just then, Akito and Tsuyoshi walked into the store. "If all else fails, you can never go wrong with jewelry!" Akito remembered their principal Naru-Naru telling the boys in the assembly yesterday, and he was then yelled at by Andou Sensei. Stepping into the bracelet section, he noticed Sana admiring a set. He peeked at her hiding the rest f his body behind a shelf. He looked kind of like a fan; maybe even a stalker who had been following her taking in her beauty from afar.
"hey!" Hisae-chan called, with Mami and Aya beside her. "Sana-chan, lets g over to get some lunch now! I here they have a new restraint in this mall that sells the best American Pizza!" reluctantly, She broke her gaze with the set and nodded.
"Coming!" She sprinted towards her friends and they then walked out of the store to get their grub. Akito walked swiftly over to the set she was looking at so lovingly. Without a second thought, he grabbed his wallet (A/N: has waaaaaayyyy too much money for a 6th grader to have!) picked up the set, and walked to the counter. He purchased it then hit it before Tsuyoshi could see.
"Oi! Tsuyoshi! Lets go." He called, beckoning his best friend.
"Aw, already?" Tsuyoshi whined.
"yes. Get your butt in gear." He grabbed Tsuyoshi's collar and dragged him out of the store. Then they too, decided to get something to eat. They instead went to a sushi place (A/N: Sooooooo Aki's's idea) and talked over things--well, it was more Tsuyoshi talked and Akito pretended to listen. His act gave way when a big advertisement was up of Sana for makeup. She looked real pretty, just like the characters out of the manga. He thought that the jewelry set wasn't enough -- he wanted to do something more. He later bought a huge, frilly card and wrote a message on the inside next t the one pre-posted. Buying her A box of chocolates and a huge bouquet of roses, He said goodbye to Tsuyoshi and then ran, home, dropped off the items (A/N: he his them in his closet) and ran to school, asking to use the auditorium. Getting permission, he copied some empty sheet music and ran onto the stage, directly to the piano. He pulled out a pencil and set it down right next to the empty music, and bean to noodle (A/N: he knows how to play the piano in this) until he found a little rhythm he thought she like. He stayed there, composing for the nest 5 hours until it got dark outside. He'd finished the song. It was a song that could be sung as a two part harmony with piano accompaniment, or a single voice with piano accompaniment. He named the song 'Guardian Angel' and packed it away, running home again to make a neater copy. He then wrapped his numerous gifts. This card, he thought. I can't put my real name on this; way too embarrassing. He stared at the card the he got an idea. He signed the card "Love, your Secret Admirer"
