Forever
Chapter Three
Forever, Promise
As I woke up the next morning, Kaname was already awake. He was reading a book with his eyeglasses on. He does not seem to notice that I was awake so I wanted to get up. As I tried to get up, the pain shot through my shoulder. It was so painful that I yelped. That was when he noticed that I woke up. Kaname walked to the table in the room and put his book on the table. He walked back to the bed and said:
"Are you okay?" he asked in concern while he is inspecting my wound.
"Yes, I am okay." I replied in pain.
"Do no push yourself too hard, it would reopen the wound." He said in concern.
"I am really okay. The wound has healed 80." I said weakly smiling.
"Let me see it." He said in concern.
The wound was like as I said, 80 healed. As I tried to get up, my shoulder's pain disappeared. Kaname was surprised that I was okay since I seem to be in pain a minute ago but now I am totally okay. Before i could turn to Kaname to talk to him, my cell phone rings. I try to walk as fast to my bag but kaname beat me to it. He took my cell phone and gave it to me. I mouthed thank you to him and answers the phone.
"Moshi Moshi." i said.
"Sakura-san, It is me Sakurako." she said.
"Sakurako-san, ohayo gozaimasu, as i recall i do not think i have work to do today, am i right?" i asked.
"Yes, You are right but I have good news for you." she said happily.
"Sakurako-san, what is the news? Please tell me!" i asked unpatiently.
"Remember you tried out for the drama Macross Frontier. We were contacted today that you were chosen for Ranka Lee, the role that you want. Congraluations!" she said happily.
I cannot believe what i heard. I was so happy that i shouted so loud. I hope that did not wake anyone up. Kaname turned to me and asked:
"What happen? he asked curiously.
"I tried out for the drama, Macross Frontier, for a character called Ranka Lee, i was informed by my manger that they decided to choose me for that role." i replied happily.
"Congraluations. By the way, are you still talking to your manger? I think she is waiting for you on the phone." he asked while chuckling.
"Oh! Right! i forgot about that. Thank You." i said.
"Sorry, Sakurako-san, thank you for informing me about this." i said happily.
"No trouble. Once again congraluations. It seems like the producer has decided to start filming in an month or so. Also the role of Ranka Lee requires you to learn a few songs since you would need to record the songs for your character album. The lyrics would be delivered to you tomorrow. You would recieve it tomorrow night. You can start learning it. I would not worry too much about that since you are a pro at that already." she said.
"Thank you for everything." i said.
"It is no trouble. It sounds like you are still tired, i should leave you back to bed." she replied.
"No! No! i just woke up," i said.
"Work would start when the filming is ready, i would contact you when the information about the filming is confirmed." she said.
"Okay. Thank you." i said.
"So i would see you in one month or so." she said.
"Hai! see you." i replied.
Then i turn back to Kaname. He was not behinding me so i walked out of the room to find me. There he was in the living room changing into another set of clothes. I was so embarrassed that i quickly walk back into the bedroom before he notices me. Before i walk back out again, he came in and ask:
"So when would you start filming?"
"They did not decide yet but it would be like an month or so." i replied.
"Do your best." he said encouragingly.
"Hai! Do you think you can come to see the filming?" i ask hoping that he would say yes.
"I think it depends on how busy i am at that time." he replied.
"I see. If you are too busy that you cannot make it, it is okay." i said.
"i would see what i would do at that time okay? I will try to go, okay?" he ask.
"Okay." i said.
Before i could say anything, Ichijou knocks and comes in and said:
"Kaname, good morning."
Then he sees me and says:
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Tenjou-san."
"Sakura is okay. No need with formalities." i said.
While the three of us talk, i suddenly said:
"Sorry but i need to change now so i would excuse myself for a moment." i said.
Ichijou watches Kaname while he is busy watching me walking into his room. He smiles at the sight of me. Whenever he looks at me he would feel warmth in his heart. Ichijou sees the smile and said:
"So you decided already, did you?"
"Yes, i did. After what happened yesterday, i am sure now.
"So it is Tenjou-san ne?"
"Yes. Whenever i see her, i could feel the warmth in my heart. Also when i am down, the sight of her is enough to cheer me up."
"I am glad that you have choosen. Though i feel sorry for Yuuki-chan." Ichijou said.
They ended their conversation when they hear that i am ready. Actually i have been standing to listen to their conversation. I was curious what they were talking about. I do not like eavedropping but i cannot help but wonder. When i heard what Kaname said, i almost want to cry but i pulled myself together. After i walked out of the bedroom and said:
"So what are we going to do today. Since we do not have school today, is there anything that the two of you would like to do?" i asked happily.
"You seem to be in a good mood. I wonder what happen?" Ichijou asked to himself.
"Is it because of Kaname?" Ichijou ask when he looks at Kaname suspiciously.
"No! No! It is not that." i said.
"Well, my manager inform that i got the role that i tried out for the drama, Macross Frontier." i said happily.
"Congraluations. Maybe we should set up a party for that to celebrate." Ichijou suggested.
"That would be a good idea." Kaname said.
"No! It is too much of a trouble." i said frantically.
"It is no trouble. Okay! It is decided! Today night, we would hold the party at the ball room. We should also invite the Day class students in the party as well. In case we cannot use the ballroom, I would ask for the headmaster's permission." Ichijou said.
"Okay. Maybe it is best to do it now. I would go with you too." Kaname said.
Before the two of them leave, i hold onto his hand and said:
" I want to go too. I would to be by your side all the time." i said while blushing.
"Okay. Let's go." Kaname said while he took my hand in his own.
I could not help but blush at that. As we walk hand in hand out of the Moon Dorm along with Ichijou, we could see students from the Day Class. The Day class students were saying:
"Did you see that? They are holding hands. I know that they would be a couple sooner or later. I am glad that they got together. They look good together."
"Yes, i agree. I would be jealous when i see other girl together with Kuran-sempai but when i see Sakura-san with Kuran-sempai, i do not feel jealous."
"Me too. Maybe because we know that they are the perfect couple and we have come to accept it so it does not affect us too much."
The Day class was talking about Kaname and I. Before we were far away from the Moon Dorms, Kaname and i saw Zero and Yuuki. I know that Kaname is still feeling guilty that he rejected Yuuki. As we walk pass them, Zero stopped us in our tracks. He stood in front of our path. Then he walk towards Kaname and said coldly:
"Kuran-sempai, can we have a word?"
"Sure but it cannot be long."
Then Kaname turn to Ichijou and said:
"You can talk to the headmaster about it, i would be right behind you. Sakura, follow Ichijou.
"But... Okay." i said as i release my hold on his hand.
When i was about to walk with Ichijou, I hear Yuuki-san crying. I told Ichijou to go by himself. I would catch up later. Then I walked up to her and said:
" I am so sorry that my transfer to this academy has made Kaname fall for me. He should love you instead me. I am so sorry but please understand that i love him very much too. If he were to reject me but go to you, i would feel the same as you. I do not ask for your forgiveness but please understand. I am really sorry"
" It is okay. I know it is not your fault. Please do not feel sorry about it."
"Thank you for understanding."
"After talking to you, i feel a lot better. Thank you."
Suddenly we heard a gun sound.
"We should hurry to Zero and Kaname-semapi" Yuuki said worriedly.
"Hai!" i said.
As we run towards the sound, we could see that Kaname just dodged the bullet that Zero fired. I was so scared that my knees give out and i fell onto the ground knees first on the ground. I thought that Kaname got hit by the bullet. I know that i cannot afford to lose another person that i love the most. I could not stop shaking. Yuuki heard that i fell onto the ground and ran back to me and said:
"Are you okay? Are you okay?" she asked worriedly.
I was so scared of losing Kaname even though i know that he is still alive. I could not stop trembling and crying. I kept on saying his name over and over. Suddenly i hear two different footsteps apporaching us. Then i heard Kaname ran up to me and hugged and ask:
"Are you okay? Are you okay?"
Even though Kaname was still alive, i could not help but feel really scared. I know that i would not be able to accept another death from a person that i love the most. I could not answer him since i could not stop my trembling and crying. When i feel that Kaname is okay and that he wrapped his arm around me, i hugged him back.
I heard Yuuki say to Zero:
"Why did you fire? Do you know it is really dangerous?"
"I was so mad that Kuran betrayed you. Do you not feel sad about
"I do but i can understand why he choose Sakura-san over me. Do you know what you have done? Do you know Sakura-san is scared of another person that she loves the most passes away? She did not say anything about the death of her boyfriend but i know that she could not accept another tragedy again."
Zero looked at me and could see that i am nearly in the verge of breakin down.
Zero turned to Kaname and I and said:
"I am so sorry of what have happened just now. It would not happen again."
I wanted to say something but it seems like i have lost my voice due to fear. Kaname was trying to make sure that i know that he is alive so he said:
"I am okay. You do not have to be afraid. I will always be by your side."
"Kaname..." i said horsely.
"Can you stand up? Let's go back to our room to rest, okay?"
I nod my head.
Before we start walking back to the Moon Dorm, Ichijou and the others ran towards us. Ichijou looked at me and ask in concern:
"Are you okay?"
I nod my head instead of talking since i do not have the strength to do so.
Then Ichijou and the others turn to Kaname and asked:
"What happened, Kaname?"
"I will explain to you later. First ,we need to bring Sakura back to the Moon Dorms to rest. She has been through a lot just now emotionally and physically so we should let her rest. Shiki, Rima , can you and the others bring Sakura back to my room. Becareful not to wake her up."
"Okay, Kuran-ryouchou" both of them said.
Then Kaname handed me over to Shiki and Rima but realizes that i had my hand grasping on his shirt. He knows that i do not want to leave his side so he told the two of them to go back Then Yuuki and Zero asks:
"Do you need any help? We can bring Sakura back to the Moon Dorms for her to rest. She does look exhausted."
"It is okay. I would bring her back to my room. Thank you for offering your help. You must be tired too. Go and get some rest. You too, Kiryuu-kun."
"Okay. We will get going now. See you soon, Kaname-sempai."
Then Ichijou told Kaname about the preparations for my party. Kaname then said:
"I think we should postpone the party after what has happened today. I do not think Sakura can attend the party since she is emotionally and phyically exhausted. Maybe we should postpone it until she is okay. I am really worried about her right now. Sorry, i would like to return to my room right now."
Kaname along with Ichijou walked to the moon dorms and arrived in his room. He puts me down and says to me:
" I need to talk to Ichijou privately. I will be back in ten minutes or so okay?" he asked in concern.
"Okay," i said while trying to smile at him.
Then he walks back out and said:
"What happened that make Sakura-san like this? She was so cheerful this morning. After i come back, she is like a scared little girl. Afraid that something terrible to happen to her."
"Kiryuu was angry that i rejected Yuuki since i was the one who told her that i love a while ago before Sakura's arrival. Kiryuu could not accept the fact that i choose Sakura over Yuuki so he tries to shoot me with his bloody rose. I dodged it in time which happens to be that Yuuki and Sakura saw it. When i notice that Yuuki yellled Sakura's name, i looked over and saw that Sakura was on her knees trembli
ng and crying saying my name over and over again. I ran to her and ask her if she was okay but she could not stop trembling and crying. To assure her that i was okay and safe, i wrapped my arms around her and put her head to lie on my chest. Even through she was still trembling, she calmed down a little. She also gripped onto my shirt as if i would go away or leave her alone. When i see her like this, i cannot help but feel so useless. When she is in pain, i could do nothing to take her pain away. I could only comfort her and be by her side."
"With you being by her side is enough to make her happy. Do not think that way. Right now you should make her feel safe and happy. She needs your love and support to help her get through this painful experience."
"I know. Oh right, about the preparation, what did the headmaster say"
"He said it is okay to use the ballroom but i did not tell him when."
"Okay. When the time comes i would tell him when we will hold the party. I need to go back to my room. Sakura would want me by her side even though she is not conscious right now."
"Okay. I would see you later at dinner then."
"See you."
Kaname then walks back into his bedroom. He looks at my face and touches it. Then he started saying:
"Are you okay now? How are you feeling"
" I am okay now. Sorry just now i could not help but lose myself" i said.
"It is okay. Just do not forget that i would not leave you. I would never do that. I promise."
"Thank you. It is just that i cannot stand to lose another person that i love. i know i would not be able to pull myself together again if i lose you." i said with tears rolling down my fair.
Kaname raises his hand wipes the tears away. He then hugs me and said:
"I know how that feels. Though i have not really fall in love before but i really know how it really feels. Just rest and do not think about anything right now." he whispered into my ear.
"Okay. Please be by my side. I do not like to be alone." i said while trying to not cry again.
He sat down on the chair next to the bed. He lulled me to sleep by touching my hair. I like the way he touches my hair. As time passes by, i could feel that my eyelids started to feel heavy. Before, I could fall into a deep sleep, i heard Kaname said:
"Do not be afraid anymore. I would always be by your side, I would never leave you alone. I promise you."
Then he kisses me on my forehead.
When i woke up, it was 2:00 pm in the afternoon. Kaname was asleep on his chair. As i look down, i could see that his hand was over mine. I smiled at tyhe sight of it. I know Kaname would not break his promise to me. He would always stay by my side. We would be together forever. As I took my covers to cover it on him, he stirs and woke up.
"I'm sorry, did i wake you up?" i asked.
"It is okay. I was thinking of getting up. How are you?" he replied.
"I am fine. Thank you for staying beside me all night yesterday,"
"It is okay. I promised you i will stay by you forever. I will stay by you until you feel that you are sick of me. he joked.
"i would never be sick of you. I would only want you by my side forever." i said with a blush on my face.
Then Kaname hugs me. We stayed like this for an hour. Then Ichijou came in and said:
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Kaname, Tenjou-san."
"Ohayo." we both said.
"So it seems like you are okay, Tenjou-san."
"Thank you for your concern."
Then i said:
"So how is the planning of the party going?"
"We are planning to hold the party a few days later." kaname replied.
"Okay. That would be good." i said.
"I will tell the headmaster about it. So I should be leaving." Ichijou said.
Before he exits the room, i said:
"Wait, Ichijou-san. If the two of you do not mind, why not we go out with the others at night today. We can all goout together to do all sorts of things. We can shop, eat, play, go to karoake and much more. I would also invite if you do not mind." i asked.
"That would be a great idea. I do not mind." Kaname said.
"It indeed is. Neither do i mind. So why not i go and inform everyone about it." Ichijou replied.
"Okay. We will start leaving at 6pm. Please tell everyone to be ready by then." Kaname said.
"Okay. See you then." Ichijou saids.
Then i turn to Kaname and said:
"What should we do now?"
"Why not we go have a walk? Or we can stay in the dinning room to watch television?" he suggests.
"Why not we watch television. It has been a long time since i watch television since i transfer to here." i replied.
"Okay. Then let's go down."
Kaname took my hand in his and started to walk down. As we walk down, we saw one boy and girl. The boy has brownish red hair with grey eyes. The girl has yellow hair tied up in two pigtails with blue eyes. Then Kaname turns to me and says:
"The one of them is Shiki Senri and Touya Rima. I do not think this is the first you have meet them."
"hai!"
"How are you feeling, Tenjou-san?" both of them ask.
"I am feeling a lot better now, thank you. Oh! Right! I was wondering if Ichijou-san told you yet about the gathering at 6pm today." i asked.
"yes, we heard from Takuma already. We are looking forward to it."
"Me too so i would see you then." i said.
"See you." they said.
"It seems like they like you. They would never talk that much to a person they do not like or care about. They must of like you a lot." Kaname said.
"Is that so? Then i am glad since i would like to get along with them." i said happily.
"i would like the others to get along with you. If anything happens, they are also here to protect you." he said.
"Hai." i replied.
"So shall we go to the dinning room" i ask.
"Okay." he said.
We walk hand in hand to the dinning room. Before we arrived, I suddenly feel really nauseated. I put my other hand to the side of my forehead. Kaname seems to notice that there was something wrong with me so he asks:
"Are you okay?" he asks in concern.
"I feel nauseated." i replied.
"The dinning room is very close. Why not we walk there and sit down to rest for a while." he suggests.
"Okay. That would be good" i said.
As we arrived in the dinning room, there was noone there. Kaname puts him arms around me. When we reach the couch, he sits down and tells me to lie my head on his lap to sleep for a while to see if sleeping could me get rid of the dizziness. My blushed at the thought of it. It is embarrassing even though we are lovers now. I insisted that i am okay just sitting down but he convinced me that sleeping would be better. I slowly got up on the couch and put my head on his lap and sleep. As i look up at him, my heart is beating really fast. No matter where i look at him, he is always so beautiful. I could not stop looking at him. When he looks back at me, i could feel my facing getting really hot. Then he started to lull me to sleep. I could feel that my eyelids are starting to get heavy. Before i fall into a deep sleep, i could hear Kaname say for second time:
"I love you."
When i woke up it was 6:00 pm. I slowly remembered what happened before i fell asleep. As i look up, i could see Kaname looking at the television. He turned the volume to mute so it would not wake me up. When i tried to get up, Kaname seems to notice me. Then he said:
"How are you feeling now?"
"I am a lot better." I replied.
I tried getting up but Kaname stopped me. Then he told me:
"Just lie for another hour. It is just 4:00 pm or you could join me to watch television." he suggests.
"Okay." i said happily.
Then he puts his arm around me and ask:
"What do you like to watch?"
"I like to watch romantic dramas. Anime would be fine too."
"Okay."
Kaname started switching channel to channel trying to find a tv program that has romantic dramas or anime. After for 5 minutes or so, he seems to find a romantic drama.
"Is this one okay?"
"Yes, it is okay but would you get bored watching this type of drama. I want both of us to enjoy watching it."
"It is okay. As long as you are by my side, i would enjoy watching anything."
I blush furiously at his words. Kaname suddenly wraps one arm around me and holds my hand with his other. I lay my head on his shoulder. We watched television for an hour and started walking back to his room. Since we are gathering in the dinning room at 6:00 pm, we started getting ready. When i walked into his room, i remembered that my clothes are in the Sun Dorms. I turned to Kaname and said:
"Kaname, my clothes are in the Sun Dorm. I would need to go back to get my clothes."
"You do not need to go. I would send someone over to get it for you."
"But..."
"It is really late now. I do not want you to get hurt or attacked by vampires again." he said with concern.
"Okay. Can you also send someone to get Ryoma and Sakuno over because i am afraid that they will get attack too." i said worriedly.
"Do not worry, i would send someone to pick them up."
"Thank you."
"I would need to go speak to Aidou, Akatsuki and Seirin to pick up Echizen-kun and Ryuzaki over and also your clothes too. Since you moved over to our dorm, you would need your clothes here. I know you would be more comfortable wearing your own clothes than mine." he joked.
"Yes, that is true."
Kaname then walked out of the room. 20 minutes later, he returns. Then he told me:
"I already told the three of them to go now, you may need to wait for 10-20 minutes before they return. Why not we do something before they come back?" he asks.
"What should we do then?" i ask.
"Hmmm...Maybe we can rest on the couch."
"Okay."
Then we walk over to the couch. I sat down on the couch and i told him to lie on my lap. He seems a little hesistant at first but i said:
"Just a few hours ago, i slept on your lap. It is my turn to let you sleep on my lap. You must be very tired so i was thinking of letting you rest."
"Okay."
Then Kaname put lie his head on my lap. As he lie down, my heart started to beat really fast. I could feel that my face is really red due to blushing. I did not notice that Kaname was looking up at me since i was busy thinking about how red my face must be right now. Since he saw that my face suddenly turn red, he ask in concern:
"Are you okay? Your face is really red. Are you hot?"
"Oh! It is nothing."
Then silence overcame us. We just sat there like that for the whole time. Suddenly Kaname said:
"You look really beautiful."
I blushed furiously. Then i said:
"You look handsome."
"Thank you" he replies.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Kaname told them to come in. There were two boys and one girl came in. One has blonde hair and green eyes while the other has orange hair and peach color eyes. The girl has short silver like color hair and silver color eyes. When they come in, all three of them were looking surprisingly at us. I know what they are surprised about. I cannot help but blush. Then Kaname broke the silence by saying:
"So is Sakura's belonging brought over?"
"Yes, i have brought all of Tenjou-san's belongings" Seirin answers as she put my bag beside the couch.
"Thank you" i said to Seirin.
"You welcome." she replies,
"Aidou, Akatsuki, Is Echizen-kun and Ryuzaki brought in to our Dorm safely, i hope?"
"Yes, the two of them are waiting in the dinning room." Akatsuki replies.
"Sakura, the one on the left is Aidou Hanabusa. The one on the right is Akatsuki Kain and the last person is Seirin, my bodyguard."
"Nice to meet you all." i said.
"Nice to meet you Tenjou-san" all three of them said.
"We will be in the dinning room in 30 minutes or later. Please check to see if everyone is ready or not now." Kaname says.
"Okay." all three of them replies.
Then the three of them exited the room. Kaname got off of my lap and said:
"You can go in my bedroom to change. I will change out here. Before you go in to change, i need to choose what to wear first."
"Okay. Take your time."
He walk in and opened his closet. It took him four minutes to pick out a set of clothes for him to wear. Then he came out with his clothes in his hands. He gestured for me to come into his room. I was about to carry my bag in when he took it for me and said:
"I would carry it for you."
"Thank you."
I gave him a peck on his cheeks. I was so embarrassed that i did that. I want to run into the room and hide but before i can do so, Kaname snaked his arm around my waist and pulled me back to him. I was so embarassed that i do not dare to look at him. My hands are covering my face. He took my hands off my face and turned me around to him. Even without looking, i can tell that i am blushing furiously. He hugged me and said:
"I like it when you blush, you look really cute and adorable."
I could not help but blush harder because of his words. Then I told him:
"We beter hurry. Everyone is waiting us."
"Oh, yes, you are right. I will wait for you outside."
Then Kaname released his hold on me and walked out of the room to change. I closed the door and started to find a set of clothes to wear. I search through my bags of clothes. I finally found a set of clothes. I pull out a white short skirt with hems, a pair of fluffy boots then a long white shirt with medium sleeve. I also pick a belt for it too. When i finish dressing, i curled my hair with the appropriate equipments used. Then i turn the knob on the door to walk out. When i opened the door, i could not belive what i see. Since Kaname was always in his uniform when he is at school, i never saw his casual look. He wears a black sweatshirt with a rose pattern on his collar and a black sweater/jacket then long black pants. Just wearing something this simple could make him look so intoxicating. As i stare at him, i did not realize that he was staring at me too. I was in dreamland thinking about how good looking he is right now. Then i snapped out of it and look at him. That was when i realize he was staring at me. I blush at the sight of him staring at me. Before i could comment on his attire, he said:
"You look beautiful and adorable." he said as he walks to me.
"You look very intoxicating yourself." i said,
" We should get going or else we would make everyone else wait." i said.
"Okay."
Then Kaname took my hands in his and said:
"I would always be with you. No matter where you are, i would always be by your side."
Then we walk hand in hand to the dinning room. A promise was made between the two lovers.
