Kujo stepped outside and pulled Victorique away from Daiki.
"Victorique what are you doing?"
"Kujo what are you doing? I'm capable of taking care of myself!"
"I know that but-"
"You're with Avril! Why do you care?"
"Well, he's s complete stranger!"
That made Victorique so furious she punched Kujo in the stomach. Kujo was silent.
"HE'S NOT A STRANGER! HE WAS THE VERY FIRST FRIEND I EVER HAD!"
"AND HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT?"
"YOU DON'T!"
At that, Victorique ran away, leaving her bag. Kujo tried to pick it up but couldn't. Daiki just looked at him.
"I take pity on you."
Daiki took the bag and ran after Victorique leaving Avril.
"Wait!"
Kujo accidentally bumped into Daiki.
"Watch it!"
"Sorry."
"This is your fault anyway!"
"No it's not!"
"Ok, who took Victorique away from me?"
"...me."
"Who yelled at Victorique?"
Kujo sighed.
"I did."
"Then it's settled."
"I really wonder why Victorique would ever like a guy like you."
This stopped Daiki. He froze in reminesince. Then he ran as fast as he could, passing Kujo. He ran all the way to Victorique. She was just sitting on the ground. Daiki picked her up and carried her all the way to the train stop.
"D-Daiki... Where were you? You... you never... came back."
"I was, umm, in America."
"Why?"
"I needed to get away from it all."
"Well, now you have."
"I have haven't I, Gray Wolf?"
"You... you know?"
"Don't you remember that book that I lost?"
"Ya."
"Well that's what it was about and..."
"That explains a lot."
"Victorique, I have something to ask you."
"What is it?"
"Well..."
"What?"
He took her right hand.
"Will you... go out with me?"
