I closed my eyes for a short nap; we were all sitting in the limo which was bringing us back home. Ugh, everything went according to plan and yet…

"Agh! Reese! Who told you to jam everything into the weekend?!"

Blade shouted. I brought my head up from Kuro's lap and looked over at Blade who was holding Reese's PDA.

"What's wrong Blade-kun?" I murmured, to tired to raise my voice, my head flopped back onto Kuro's lap and he smiled down at me and placed a hand on my head,

"Reese, the little idiot, has another day full of interviews, conferences, photo-shoots, and the works planned out for tomorrow."

"And?"

"And? Don't you care? Hello? Didn't you have like a date plan or something?"

My eyes flew open, "How. Did. You. Find. Out?"

I asked, climbing off of Kuro, once again.

Blade backed up, "Uhh…well you see…I was going to get a cup of water…and I heard you on the phone…don't hurt me!" he eeped.

I sighed and flopped back down again. I shot an apologetic glance at Kuro who only smiled back and I knew he was fine,

"Reese has already cleared a spot for me. You schedule is the only one that's jam packed. Remember? You're the one that thought of having different schedules."

As I said this I pulled out my PDA and Blade and everyone in the car could see all the blank spaces in my schedule.

"Now that you mention it…"

Nile and Stev pulled out their PDAs and scrolled through them, "We actually have a lot of free time as well." Kuro and Riku also did.

"I'm spending most of my day working on the system." Reese said and we all watched as Blade turned to stone and crumbled away into dust. "Th-then why is my schedule…so…full?!" He shouted.

"Those are for all the times you skipped out." Reese answered. Kuro chuckled softly as I slowly lowered myself back onto my seat and laid my head on his lap again, "Now quiet. I need sleep."

Stev and Nile pulled out an I-pod each and popped the earphones into their ears. Kuro ran his fingers through my hair and Riku resumed reading the book from his bag. Reese pulled a random gadget out of his pocket, along with a screwdriver, and started working, while Blade sat in complete and utter shock.

"Chouta-kun!" I jumped onto the taller boy, and he caught me, surprised.

"Yuki-chan! I could have dropped you!" He said. "Yea but you didn't." I said hopping back onto the floor. I smiled happily, "So where are we going?"

"Well…"

"Hey! Choutarou! Over here!" I looked past Chouta and waved, "Hiya!"

"Y-Yuki!" Ryou paused, along with everyone else,

I pouted, "What? You don't want me to be here? Fine! I'll leave then."

The next thing I knew I was pulled backwards into someone's chest, "Don't be silly Yuki…"

"Ryou…" I looked up at him (darn boys being able to grow longer than girls…)

"You do realize my boyfriend is standing right there right?" I asked pointing at Chouta who turned instantly red. Everyone started laughing at that and Ryou let go of me, I looked around at all the smiling faces and smiled right back. "So where are we going?" I asked again. "Hi-mit-su." (Secret) Gakuto answered, popping up out of, literally, nowhere. I pouted and then grabbed Chouta's hand, "Then let's go!"

"Cute!" I cooed as I offered her hand, full of seeds, to the nearest lamb,

"Ore-sama demands to know who decided to go to the petting zoo!" Kei yelled, running around in large circles, followed by a whole flock of female ewes. Gakuto was doubled over in laughter and I smiled lightly. "Look over there Yuki-chan." Chouta said, pointing. I looked and my smile grew. There were two swans in the lake next to the petting zoo, and their heads were touching, forming a heart. I leaned back into Chouta, "Thanks." I murmured softly.

After the zoo (and a disgruntled Kei-sempai getting changed) we went to a nice café and sat down. I placed a small spoonful of ice-cream in my mouth and let it melt on my tongue.

Then I picked up another spoonful and stuck it in front of Chouta, "Here."

Chouta turned bright red as he obediently opened his mouth. I smiled happily to myself, completely ignorant of the attempted coverings of laughter by the rest of the team, as I resumed eating my ice-cream.

"So Yuki, how's your band been?" Yuushi asked.

"Fine." I answered, "We have another album coming out this weak called 'Dark Heartbreak'. We've been getting into a darker mood recently."

"Hm? And why is that?"

I didn't answer as I stared at my bowl of ice-cream,

"Yuki-chan? Would you like to talk about something else?" Chouta asked,

"No it's fine. My band mates have noticed my change of mood around them. Our songs used to be all hyper and stuff cause of my dark mood then. We're experimenting. We'll be doing mixtures from now on."

Chouta squeezed my hand from under the table, I smiled at him reassuringly. Then I turned my gaze back to the rest of the group, "I want to thank everyone… you've put up with my selfishness for so long." I bowed. Yuushi reached a hand across the table and patted my head, "it's alright. We should be thanking you for letting us spend time with you." I smiled at him, "That's quite alright."

"Chouta-kun!" I yelled. The surprised boy caught me once again. I pecked him lightly on the cheek before hopping off of him again, "Let's go to the park." I said, taking his hand in mine and walking off.

I sat on the bench, head against Chouta's shoulder, quietly. We watched flower petals fly by on the wind. "Isn't it nice? Despite all the chaos of the world, there are still small pockets of space where it is quiet and calm." Chouta smiled in reply. When I said no more Chouta looked down and realized I had fallen asleep.

I woke up to a gentle rocking. I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was Chouta's back, "Ah, Yuki-chan? Are you awake now? Would you like to come down?" I shook my head, "Thank you Chouta-kun." He chuckled in reply. I rested my head against his back and listened to his faint heartbeat. It would be nice if we could remain like this, together. But of course things never do. They always mess up in the end. But I didn't think of that. I just remained in my small happy world.
