Note: I do not own the characters from Baby, I am just a fan. This fan fiction is based only on the manga, sorry for all of you who watched the anime. I love to hear what you have to say, but please do not be too harsh. This fan fiction is for mature audiences only, it contains, self-inflicted pain, and sexual themes.

"Hello?"

"Kokoro."

"Dad is something wrong? You do not normally call before school." 'Or at all.' Kokoro thought quickly.

"Sorry, I just called to let you know your credit card is being switched. And to make sure you are eating right, you have not been using much money."

"I am eating fine. Um. Sorry, but I have to go before I am late."

"Bye."

"Bye." Kokoro hung up the phone and placed in on the table. She looked down at her full plate of food, before getting up and dumping the plate's contents into the trashcan. After setting her plate in the sink, she collected her things and left for school.

--

"Be right back, I'm gonna go get lunch." Kippei said as he kissed Kokoro gently on the top of her head.

"Okay." She replied quietly as Aki and Mai moved their desks to sit with her. Aki was going on about the history test she had failed, but Kokoro was barely paying any attention as she pulled out her bento with a small sigh. Her bento was significantly smaller then everyone else's.

"I'm back." Kippei cried out as he returned, he stole a chair from an empty desk. He sat down backwards in the seat and set his bread and milk down on the edge of Kokoro's desk.

Kippei and Aki spent most of lunch arguing over just about everything.

"Kokoro, you wanna go shopping after school today." Mai asked, causing Kippei and Aki to stop fighting.

"Um, no thanks. I am kind of tired."

"Please Kokoro. We have not done anything in forever." Aki threw in desperately. "Plus, what else do you have to do tonight?"

"I have to stay after, I need to order a new uniform set."

"What's wro…" Aki began to ask before Kippei kicked her shin and gave her a harsh look. "Ouch. Kippei that hurt."

And with that the bell rang for class to begin again. Kokoro placed her hardly eaten lunch away in her bag.

--

Class went by quickly and before Kokoro knew it the bell had rung and Kippei was standing by her desk.

"Kokoro, you ok?"

"Yeah, sorry I am just really tired."

"Do you want to do something today?"

"You don't have to get Yuzu today?"

"Nope, mum is getting her, she has a doctor's appointment."

"Is she ok?" Kokoro questioned.

"Yep, its just a cheque up."

"Oh."

"Hey, let's get you uniform set ordered and we can grab something to eat and maybe watch a movie at your place."

"Okay, but I am not really hungry."

"Okay, we can always get a snack at your place."

'Yep you can eat all of my food, I don't want is.' Kokoro thought quickly.

--

After, ordering her new uniform set, Kokoro and Kippei left the school. Before heading to Kokoro's apartment they stopped quickly at the market, to get Kippei something to eat and to pick up Kokoro's groceries.

Before Kippei knew it, Kokoro was unlocking her apartment door. Kippei had never been into her apartment, he started to get nervous. But before he could get too nervous Kokoro was pushing open the door and hit a light switch as she walked in, revealing a very large living room, which was connected to a large open kitchen. Kokoro quickly disappeared down a hallway to put her things away, while Kippei stayed by the door.

"Oh, sorry, Kippei." Kokoro said when she returned a moment later. "Those can just go on the counter, I will put them away in a second." And with that Kokoro disappeared again.

"Okay." Kippei walked into the large kitchen, Kippei set the bags down on the dark granite island. He pull some of the groceries out of their bags and began to look around for their homes.

"Kippei, you do not have to do that." Kokoro said as she returned.

"Its okay, its not a big deal." He answered as he placed a carton of milk in the large stainless steel fridge. "Your apartment is really nice."

"Well, my dad is rich." Kokoro mumbled as she put a box of crackers in a cabinet.

"Look we are done." Kippei said a moment later, as he fold the last brown paper bag flat.

"Yup, what would you like to eat?" Kokoro asked.

Kippei walked up behind Kokoro, and pulled her into a hug from behind(1), and gently kissed her on her neck, before whispering in her ear, "It doesn't matter to me."

"Kippei." Kokoro replied weakly. She wanted to be so close to him, but she was terrified about what he would say when he saw her body. Kokoro, however, knew she could not push away from Kippei, she could not deny her heart.

"Yes, Kokoro." He replied, as his hands dropped down around her small waist.

"I love you." Kokoro turned to face Kippei, before she went slightly up on her toes and kissed him sweetly, before dropping back down as she looked into his eyes.

"I love you too." Kippei leaned down kissing her, with a little more force. Kokoro's mind went blank and all of a sudden she felt weak, like she couldn't stand. She collapsed, but before she could hit the tile floor, Kippei caught her.

"Kokoro…" Kippei cried, Kokoro could hear him, he sounded worried.

"…" Kokoro could not speak, she was losing her vision.

"Kokoro."

"…" She could no longer see at all.

"Kokoro." Kippei was beginning to panic, he began to gently shake her. Kokoro could no longer hear Kippei's pleading cries, as she felt her body gently go numb.

For those of you manga fans, when Kokoro goes to leave Kippei's hotel room, when they are on their class trip, he gives her a hug from behind and in a side note it says Kippei has always wanted to do that…so I let his dream come true.

Oh and for those of you who care…this takes place after their class trip, but before Kokoro moves into Kippei's house.
