They were running, the dusty air filling their lungs as they ran from one of the ghost children in heavenly host. Yuki, the ghost who was chasing them, laughed creepily as she remembered how she had been killed in the basement and thinking about how she was going to kill these two new victims. Suddenly, Ayumi tripped, yelping in pain as she hit the ground.

"Shinozaki!"Yoshiki yelled, as the ghost approached her. Running over to her, he grabbed her hand and pulled her up, just as the ghost raised the rusty blood covered scissors. The scissors were then brought down with much force, ramming the blade deep into Yoshiki`s hand. They ran, knowing the ghost wouldn`t give up on trying to kill them. They eventually reached the infirmary and both sat down on the beds. That was when Ayumi reali8sec the end of the blade jutting out of his palm. She took his hand and looked at the wound where the scissors were stuck. He winced as she took his hand, realising how much his head was spinning, making him realise how much blood he must of lost. He felt his consciousness slipping away however, before he fell unconscious, he muttered his last words "S...Shino..zaki...I...l..lo..ve...y...yo..u.."

"Shinozaki!" her teacher yelled at her. She had fallen asleep again. "Why have you been sleeping in class, again?"

"Sorry Sir I`m just not sleeping well at night."Ayumi replied as honestly as she could. Technically it was true, she hadn`t been sleeping well since she discovered her crush on Yoshiki or since the incident at heavenly host and she kept having nightmares where Yoshiki died, making her stay awake for the next hour or two.

"Don`t let it happen again then."The teacher replied simply, turning back to the board to continue the lesson.

"Shinozaki.."Yoshiki whispered to her. He sat at the desk behind her so he could easily talk to her without being found out."Meet me outside at the end of the day." She nodded, it was last lesson so she would meet him at the end of the lesson

The lesson ended pretty quickly and so, when the bell went and everyone was filing out of the classroom, Ayumi went outside and waited there for Yoshiki. He came out and spotted her immediately so he walked over to her and simply said "Follow me."

They started walking down a path through a forest, the path which she knew leaded down onto the beach. Once on the beach, the sky was getting dark already and a few snowflakes fell from the sky, landing lightly and blending in with the light coloured sand or the calm sea.

"So."Yoshiki said stopping and turning towards Ayumi "Are you going to tell me what`s wrong?"He asked

"It`s nothing Kishinuma."Ayumi replied faking a smile

"Oh come on, you think that`s going to fool me? I know you Shinozaki and just because Nakashima or Satoshi can`t tell that smile`s fake doesn`t mean I can`t. I can tell something is bothering you and I want to help."Yoshiki explained. Suddenly, Ayumi burst into tears and Yoshiki, not knowing what else to do, pulled her into a hug. When her sobs had died down slightly, he said "Shinozaki, please tell me what`s wrong."

"Please...please don`t...don`t..die..."She said between sobs and hiccups

"What? Why?"Yoshiki asked

"I need you...you protected me all throughout Heavenly Host and...I...really..like you..."Ayumi explained, mumbling the last part.

"You...what?"Yoshiki asked not knowing if he heard her right

"Since Heavenly Host, I`ve realised how much I like you as more than a friend.."Ayumi clarified

"Ayumi..I do too..I have for nearly two years and I never thought that this would happen but.."Yoshiki trailed off before leaning down and kissing her. She kissed back and they both stood there on the beach kissing whilst the snow fell gently around them. They pulled back and the snow continued to fall, landing in their hair and on their uniform.

"That was amazing."Ayumi gasped, as Yoshiki picked her up and set off in the direction of his apartment. "Eeek! Yoshiki, where are we going?"she asked surprised by the unsuspected movement.

"You will see."Yoshiki replied mysteriously as they set off.

(Sorry it`s shorter then last time but yeah live with it)
