"You... You weren't there..." She muttered

'I should have been…' He thought to himself. He knocked himself out of her grasp and followed. Kimora stood there for a moment with Tears swelling in her eyes. She wiped her eyes not allowing them to fall, she followed the pair. They arrived within fifteen minutes to meet Haruhi at the booth.

"You're late."

She snapped. Kimora slyly checked her watch. 2:47... They still had thirteen minutes. She shook the thoughts put of her head. Her eyes were still red but she plastered a fake smile upon her face. Itsuki was a bit taken aback, but he kept it to himself. They did the ritual again. Kimora was with Itsuki and Kyon. She was nearly elated to be with Koizumi but terrified to be with Kyon. Haruhi left in a huff, the two girls trailing behind her.

"Shall we go?" Koizumi asked.

Her smile decreased, but stayed. She nodded and followed him. Kyon stood there for a moment before throwing his toothpick and following the two espers. Kimora was once again wiping her eyes.

"What happened?" He cooed.

She stopped and made him release her.

"You... You need to explain it to him... I can't... Not. Not like this..."

She ran off. Kyon ran to catch up with Koizumi. She consciously didn't know where she was running. But she knew. She was back in the park, past the cherry blossoms. They were falling, by the time she reached the willow, they were tangled within her hair like a crown. The two boys ran around the streets calling for her. They reached the park entrance, out of breath.

"Where could she have gone?" Itsuki breathed.

It finally struck Kyon. He started running.

"Follow me..."

Kimora had already begun crying. The salty tears soaked her cheeks. Kyon reached the old tree. The falling sun danced across her soaked eyes and with the wind, she was stunning. He froze. Entranced in her beauty. He ran to her and wrapped his arms around her. She continued her sobs. Koizumi reached the pair, Kyon looked at him and he understood. He never had a bond quite like theirs. Though only observing it for a few days, Kimora never stopped talking about him after he had mentioned being transferred there. Her love for him lasted nearly a lifetime. He had almost felt bad for her having to stop everything and push him to Haruhi. He felt her pain. He too had a love he could not pursue. But he had been separated from them for years. He sat down next to her. She threw herself from Kyon and threw her face onto Itsuki's lap. Kyon sat frozen, careful not to provoke anything else. He finally understood. They could not be together, they loved each other, but with Haruhi it could never be. A part of him grew to hate her over the years, it twisted, but he understood. Kimora tried to stop her sobs. She looked up and muttered.

"Why can't we just be normal...?"

He hushed her and rubbed her head, she placed her head back down.

"There you are!" Haruhi shouted. Kimora's head poked up.

"Do not keep me waiting!" She screamed leaving in a huff.

"We're meeting at Kimora's!"

She stood up and followed the trio. Kyon stood to follow but was stopped by Koizumi.

"She didn't want this... She wanted you..."

Kyon's mouth fell at the esper's words. He looked at his friend wiping the final tears from her eyes. She was still wearing the sweatshirt. He broke from the esper's grasp and walked over to the other, cherry blossoms in her hair. He grabbed her wrist. She stopped as he whispered into her ear. His breath was warm and heavy, yet pleasant.

"I'm just a teenage dirtbag..."

She so wanted to hug him, though she knew the action would be detrimental. She patted his hand.

"I know. Just like me..."

She faked a smile and plastered it across her face. She continued walking. He froze. That was not the reaction he wanted. He wanted her. He joined Itsuki and the two trailed behind. Itsuki comforted him, he smiled.

"You know... Miss Kimora never stopped talking about you..."

Kyon felt his lips part, but he couldn't do anything. Whether he liked it or not... It was over.

"So... Kimora..." Haruhi began noticing the girl.

"Any boys you think are cute?"

She looked up at her and thought hard. She couldn't say Kyon, that would be detrimental. Itsuki? No, he was just her confident, AND second in command. Haruhi was growing impatient.

"I suppose the friend... Uh Taniguchi... He certainly is funny..."

Kyon's eyes shot up. Taniguchi?! Taniguchi!?

"He certainly is something." Haruhi added.

"She is remarkable is she not?" Itsuki whispered. Kyon looked at the esper, baffled.

"The way she can think on her feet." He shook his head.

"Taniguchi.." He chuckled.

"She certainly is brilliant..."

Well what do you think? At the moment there's only one chapter left... and it isn't even long... I love you guys and KEEP READING... okay? read and review! XD
