Last Chapter: Sunday

Finally, Tadase thought it was best if he drop by at the school dojo to have his kendo training early in the afternoon with the upperclassmen. Even though training starts tomorrow, he thought it would've been better if he practices now. He also invited Amu with him.

She was wearing a simple summer dress and tied her hair up in pigtails. Tadase though, got change to his kendo clothing. He was hot under the helmet though. Even if it provided him a cotton towel to make him more comfortable under the helmet, he was still sweating under the summer heat.

Amu smiled at him. "Good luck with practice!" She said. Tadase smiled at her under the helmet. "Thank you." He replied. The coach got up and announced that the first years take their marks. Tadase was with another first year and they just had their modern practice for awhile.

After awhile, the coach told the first years to take their seats. When Tadase and the other's did, he announced, "3rd years stand up and take your marks." Tadase looked around. Ikuto wasn't wearing his helmet at first. Tadase was staring at him though.

Finally Ikuto got up and wore his heavy helmet and got up to the centre of the dojo. Amu was sitting next to Tadase very closely. "Wow. Ikuto looks so tall in that suit…" She whispered beside Tadase. Tadase nodded. "Yeah…"

Ikuto was at the centre of the dojo with the other 3rd years. He looked at the crowd but didn't feel too uneasy but something finally made him feel that way. When he saw Amu, the pink haired girl that Tadase kept talking about, he assumed that the boy she was sitting next to was him. Ikuto felt uncomfortable and looked away.

The 3rd years are now supposed to have a little challenge against the rival that they are having. Ikuto didn't know what to do with Tadase staring at him. Ikuto just wished that he wasn't there in the first place.

"GO!" Cried the kendo coach. Other 3rd years already started their match. Ikuto just didn't move. His other rival kept coming at him. Ikuto tired dodging. Amu and Tadase just stared at him. "What's Ikuto doing…?" Asked Amu. Tadase didn't know as well. Usually at times like this, Ikuto would already beat his opponent.

Someone behind them though, was whispering, "That's a bad habit. Usually if people keep dodging the attacks, the other opponent will manage to have a better advantage to him them." They said. "Yeah. That's not going to help him get out off a match like this…" Said another.

Amu looked behind her and glared at the other students. They were surprised and they went quiet after that. Amu looked back and saw Ikuto struggling. "Do you think he's going to be OK?" She asked. "I don't know. We'll just have to see…" Tadase replied.

But suddenly, Ikuto's opponent saw an opening at Ikuto's chest. He held his shinai straight and aim it carefully at Ikuto's exposed metal chest. He strike on it hard and Ikuto fell back. Tadase jolted. 'Ikuto?' He wanted to get up and help him, but before he could, other students were already helping him. Tadase just sat there and stare at him.

Ikuto took off his helmet. He sat up and other students were surrounding him. Tadase tried to find him. When he did, he saw Ikuto glancing at him. They both made eye contact. Tadase was surprised that Ikuto knew it was him. They were both staring at each other for awhile, but finally, Ikuto turned away.

Amu then already left and Tadase went to the male changing rooms. Other students were getting changed into their casual clothes and so was Ikuto. Tadase was sitting at a bench near the window and kept staring at him. Finally he got up and asked, "Who's in charge with the key today?"

A boy with long black haired looked at Tadase and answered, "Ah… I am!" He cried. Tadase smiled at him. "Would it be OK if I use this place for awhile? I need to talk to Ikuto for a few minutes." Tadase pleaded. The boy looked very confused. "Ah… Well…"

"I'll take over." Ikuto replied. The boy looked at him. "Ok." He passed Ikuto the keys. "I'll leave it to you then." After that the boy left.

Then finally, the two last students were about to leave. They smiled at Tadase. "We're going. Good job at training today." They said. Tadase smiled at them.

"You guys did well as well!" They waved goodbye and Tadase closed the door. He turned back to Ikuto. Ikuto wasn't looking at him.

"Ikuto…? What happened today? You weren't concentrating…" He said. Ikuto bit his lip. "I'm sorry…" Tadase looked down.

But then he realized something.

'Could this be…? The break up?' He thought. He looked at the clock. 'It's almost 5…'

The first date… Even his nothing of reply was abrupt… It's possible…' Then Tadase remembered what some of Amu's friends said.

"At the end of the week, he'll tall his partner exactly this." Tadase felt like something stabbed at his chest, and it hurts.

"I couldn't fall in love with you. Let's break up."

'I couldn't fall in love with you…' Tadase looked at Ikuto who was still standing there, staring at space.

'That's harsh.'

Ikuto looked at Tadase. Tadase blushed and turned away. Ikuto looked upset. "Ta…Tadase. Why don't we leave this place? I have something I want to tell you properly." Tadase looked up at the senpai he fell in love with. Both of the staring at each other's eyes. Tadase finally nodded. "OK."

AT THE PARK

Ikuto took Tadase to the place they first had their kiss. They were at the same spot, but they both fell quiet. Tadase wasn't ready for this. He looked at the blue sky that stretched across the town.

He didn't want to look at Ikuto. But when he did, he glance a bit and saw Ikuto looking at the sky as well. Tadase looked worried.

'Is he always formal whenever he breaks up? One week ago today, I still didn't know about his serious points or hopeless points…' He closed his eyes for awhile to relax himself. But Ikuto called him, "Tadase."

Tadase jolted. "Uwa!" Ikuto looked at him and Tadase blushed. "I'm sorry. I got distracted…" He said. Ikuto chuckled. Tadase looked surprised… He was laughing…?

Finally Ikuto stopped and looked more serious. "Tomorrow…" He spoke. Tadase looked at him. Ready to hear everything he had to say.

"From tomorrow on… I still want to go home together with you, go out occasionally. Just once in a while… I…" Tadase interrupt him. "I'm sorry… But that's troublesome." He said. Ikuto looked shocked.

"Have that sort of compromise with you? I'm not willing…" Said Tadase. Ikuto clenched his fists. He remembered Tadase ripping the tickets. "Then yesterday… Also had that meaning."

'It ends today… That one week…'

Tadase hid his face. "What time…" Ikuto looked at him. "This… What time does this end? The one week with you." Tadase asked. "Whatever you choose is fine…" Ikuto replied. Tadase looked at his cell phone. "The since it's a good time… How about 6?" He said.

It was only 5:59. Ikuto clenched on his fist tighter.

Tadase then said the words, "I couldn't fall in love with you. Let's break up…" Ikuto looked at him. Finally it was exactly 6 on the screen. Tadase smiled. "I'm glad you didn't say it…" He said softly. Ikuto wasn't sure what he means.

Tadase looked up at Ikuto. "Go out with me… Ikuto." Ikuto looked at him, more shocked. "What…?"

Tadase looked away. "Well… Because I love Ikuto… And when next week comes around, I don't want to return to being merely senpai and kouhai…" He said. Ikuto blushed. "I don't want to some other person to be chosen by you. And none of this 'weekly lover' game of make believe… I want to go out with Ikuto properly…"

Tadase looked like he was about to cry. But he held the tears back. "I'll wait for your reply… But if you go out with someone else before giving me an answer… Then-.." Before Tadase could finish, Ikuto embraced him with his warm arms.

Tadase was going red and Ikuto held Tadase close. "I have something I've always wanted to say to you…

"But this whole time I've never got the chance to say it to you…"

"…What is it…?"

Ikuto smiled. He whispered something that Tadase had been dying to hear, "I love you… Tadase. I love you…"

Tadase was going absolutely red. Small tears came out from his eyes. "Really…?"

Ikuto smiled. "Listen OK…? I said it…" Tadase moved away and Ikuto looked surprised. "More… More than Hotori…?" Tadase said under his breath. Ikuto blushed and he smiled at the young boy. "Tadase… I love you more than Hotori… More than anyone else." Tadase was surprised when he heard Ikuto said that.

He looked up at the person he loved. Ikuto smiled at him. They came close and gave each other a small kiss. When they stopped, Tadase hugged Ikuto. Ikuto smiled and hugged him back.

'I'm happy when I'm with you.'

It was the next morning and Tadase was in bed. He then woke up when he heard his phone vibrating. He looked at it and smiled.

On the screen it wrote,

"From Ikuto Tsukiyomi,

I may have woken you up with this mail. If you don't get up quick, you'll be late."

Tadase yawned. He got up and quickly gets changed. Meanwhile, Ikuto was at the train station waiting at the usual place. Suddenly, his phone vibrated. He took it out from his pocket and opened the message he received.

On the screen it wrote,

"From Tadase Hotori,

You woke me up. Thank you."

Ikuto smiled at the message he had received. Few minutes later, Tadase appeared and Ikuto saw him. He smiled. "Morning."

Tadase blushed. 'Once more…'

"Good morning." Tadase replied. They both started walking next to each other and headed to the exit of the train station.

"Walking with you, a new week begins."
