Oh mah gawd! It's been a FULL YEAR since i've updated. To be honest I kinda forgot about this... But hey, I've been busy. I have found myself a girlfriend and she takes up all my time. Not that I'm complaining. :)

It was Sunday afternoon again and Kagura had gone to her weekly tutoring session at Kaiya's house. Week two of the tutoring and Kagura was already tired of it, not that she'd let Kaiya know since the girl was putting all her effort into teaching. But a week of little to no sleep was already catching up on poor Kagura as she fell asleep mid explanation of the Periodic Table characteristics.

"Do you understand Kagura-san?" Silence…of course there was the sound of Kaiya's pencil tapping the piece of paper in front of her, other than that silence. "Kagura-sa-" Kaiya noticed that she had fallen asleep. Am I boring? A feeling of insecurity and dread swept over Kaiya as she thought this. She lightly shook Kagura's shoulder. "Kagura-san?"

Kagura slowly woke up. "Huh? Oh Kaiya, did I fall asleep on you?"

"Well..yeah, but-"

"Oh, I'm sorry." Kagura rubbed the back of her neck and sat up. "I shouldn't have laid down."

"We can continue this another time if you'd like."

Kagura shook her head. "No, no it's fine. I'm good."

"Okay." Kaiya began her explanation of gas properties when Kagura fell asleep again. Kaiya was so involved in her explanation she didn't notice until about ten minutes later, when she was done.

"I hope that helps Kagura-san…Kagura-san?" She turned around to see Kagura sitting against her bed, asleep. She sighed and woke Kagura up again. "I'm sorry. I'm a boring teacher right?"

Kagura waited a few minutes until she fully shook the sleepiness away. "Oh, no, you're not at all. It's just I haven't been sleeping much lately."

"What's wrong Kagura-san?"

Kagura struggled for a long time, debating whether or not to tell Kaiya about what had been on her mind for the past week. She didn't know whether she could trust Kaiya. Of course, Kaiya was a devoted member of the "Kagura Fan Club." But she didn't know how far that devotion went. Was Kaiya just a member of the "club" Kagura was so popular, or was she a potential friend of Kagura? Would she quit the "club" as soon as Kagura told her about the problem she had been dealing with? After a few minutes of Kaiya's consistent staring, Kagura decided to tell her.

"Well," she started off slow. "Remember last week, when you asked me if I liked anyone?"

"Yeah…" A few more seconds of struggle passed as Kagura tried to find the right words to say. Kaiya's face lit-up slowly as she came she can up with a assumption of what Kagura was trying to say. "You like someone?"

"No no no," Kagura said quickly. "Well, I don't know…"

Kaiya, now confused, let out a puzzled, "Huh?"

Kagura stared at her feet. "As I said last time, I haven't really thought about it much and…" Kagura looked up to find Kaiya staring intently. "I've started thinking about it lately." When Kaiya didn't respond, Kagura realized Kaiya wanted her to explain more. "It's just been keeping me up."

"Why?"

This was it. This was the moment Kagura had been dreading. She had already delved too deep into the conversation to turn back. Kagura had dug her grave, she had to explain to Kaiya why this bothering her. "Well… I don't know if I like guys…" she said quietly.

"What?" Kaiya didn't hear what she had said.

"I don't know if I like guys…" Kagura said quietly again, but loud enough to be heard. There was a long, awkward silence.

Well it was awkward on Kagura's part at least. Kaiya on the other hand was reveling in the possibilities this opened. If Kagura didn't like boys, then that means she had a chance with Kagura… No, I can't get my hopes up. She's the most popular girl at school. Once the others find out about this, they might jump all over her. Even if they don't, there's no way she'd go for me. She's athletic and good looking, I'm smart and not that attractive…

Kaiya was knocked out her thoughts by sight of Kagura gathering her things and getting up. "Hey, hey. Wh-where you going?" Kaiya subconsciously pulled Kagura to her by the arm.

"I figured you wouldn't want to tutor me anymore…" Kagura was surprised by Kaiya's sudden action

"No…" I'll still be your tutor…I'll tutor you in the ways of love. Kaiya let out a small giggle. When Kagura directed a strange look at her, she played it off by pretending to clear her throat. "It's ok. Sometimes we come across that questioning stage. There's nothing wrong with it."

"Really?" Kaiya nodded and Kagura beamed. "Um…you're already doing so much for me with the tutoring, but could you help me with something else?"

"Sure."

"Well…" Kagura hesitated. "Uh…well…could you maybe help me figure out if I do or not…"

"Wh-"

"Like can you tell me ways I can tell or not."

Kaiya thought for a few seconds. "Well…do you think about guys?"

"I don't really think about either guys or girls."

"Hmmm…" Kaiya saw an opportunity. "Ok, I heard that if you want to figure out if you like someone you should try to imagine kissing them. If it works that means you like that person. Maybe we can apply the same concept to this. Which do you see yourself kissing: a guy or a girl." Silence. "Which one looks better in your mind?" Kagura shrugged. "Ok, close your eyes." Kagura did just that. "Now imagine: you're in the arms of the person you love, you're cuddling and all cozy together. You lean in slowly, the other person leans in slowly, and you can feel their warmth against you. It seems like time has stopped and you lock lips with this person…"

Kagura imagined the scene. It felt almost real. It was almost as if this person was with her. She could feel her hands running across this persons back, pulling them in closer. She felt her hands running through this person's long, flowing hair… Long, flowing hair! Kagura's eyes flung open. "Oh my God!"

I'll try to be more faithful to you guys. I'm definately finishing this story. Just give me the time. Happy Valentine's Day.
