Back! Sorry it's been so long, I promised I was going to finish this but school and life took, but not to worry I am back and about to finish this.

I don't own Toradora.

Then This

I remember then. That kiss, the crash, the anger and that pain we went through. I will go back to it now and think of the mistakes, the misfortunes and the love that went on . I remember the crash scared me so badly, Ryuji grabbing me and putting himself in front of me, as we saw the door make a small dent to the wall. I wasn't expecting her…no I wasn't expecting her at all but she was there for the person who I owned. Ami Kawashima her looks, her personality, pretty much herself made me sick, but most of all she wanted HIM.

" ….I guess I came to late to tell you my feelings then Ryuji?.." Ami said with such self pity, her hand lowered to her side as she let go of the door, I could tell she was enraged. She had wanted what I just had and she was surprisingly holding her self back from what she wanted, her hands shook violently from all the pent up emotions.

" Sorry Ami, you're a pretty girl and all but…" Ryuji trailed off I could tell this was costing him difficulty to say in front of me, I on the other hand just sighed in relief I always thought if anyone besides Minori had a chance with my Ryuji it be Ami.

"Quiet!" she said, not letting him finish speaking "you don't get it do you! I don't care Ryuji, I knew there has been something between you two. Its fine, I was joking anyway" that was the last thing she said as she bolted toward the door but before she did I saw a tear run down her eye and I knew it was my turn to set things right, I was wrong about her, I was wrong about her motives and I knew I was…

" Stay here Ryuji I promise I will come back" I said kissing his lips softly as I ran after her, I smirked a bit as I saw his face redden with shock, he wasn't expecting this. He probably thought I be the last person to run towards my mortal enemy and the person I always argued with, but this time I understood her better than I ever did and I knew I had to help. I knew where to find her, she was very predictable, always went to the same place to think. I ran toward the school and went in-between our class room hall.

There she was sitting on the floor with her legs pressed up to her body. Real pathetic. Her eyes were red and her face was full of tears it seems she had her heart broken, I recognized it, I felt it like she feels it now but I never felt it as strong as she did, unlike her… I got lucky.

" What? Came here to rub it in Taiga? Well too bad I am not going to hear it!" she said as she tried to get up from the floor, I pushed her gently back down so she wouldn't run again.

" No it's not that Ami, not that at all, I am sorry" I said as she stared at my face with confusion as if I said the stupidest thing in the world to her. I guess I had to rephrase it "I am sorry about getting you wrong, your not an evil conniving person who is only out for her own good" I said this time I could see her face soften a bit as if I said what she always wanted others to think of her.

" Thanks, Taiga…glad you saw that I truly wanted him happy, do me a favor … take care of him ok? I know it may seem weird of me to ask this, but he was the only guy to understand me and like me for who I am, yes I knew he liked me even if it was just for mere days or weeks, it still counted for me" She said as she wiped away the tears with her sleeve and hugged me.

I was stiff at first but slowly eased into her embrace then I slowly parted " I will.. I have to go… he is waiting for me you know" I said with a small smile on my face and a huge blush carried with it.

" Yea I know, you better mean it Taiga, because if you hurt him I will personally come to kick your butt." She said with a smirk on her face and her hand on her hip, I ran back to the Hospital where I left him waiting saw him turn to me with smile on his face…..

I glance out my window now thinking of how I miss judged her for so long, now me and her are good friends, as well as still being friends with Minori. I am happy as I can be I am twenty-four now living in a place on my own with the person I thought I didn't care for and found he meant the world to me. That's right my name is Taiga Takasu and I have the best husband anyone can have, this isn't the end, no there is the future, my future, and it's with him but that will have to be told another time.

End
