Hello Minna! I'm really in the mood for writing now, so here's the next chapter! :) Enjoy! ^.^

*Kise's POV*

We parted ways with Utako and I went ahead to our classroom. I was sitting in my seat and saw that some girls I knew from somewhere, left the room. 'Uta-chan's late.' I thought. The bell rang about five minutes later and Utako still hasn't come back. Our homeroom teacher entered the room just when I had a really bad feeling. Suddenly I remembered. Those girls were the ones that attacked her on the school grounds a few days ago. I bet they were the ones that ruined her desk too.

Suddenly we heard a scream. My bad feelings came true. I stood up and ran out of the classroom, my homeroom teacher right behind me. I was relieved when the headmaster joined us. I ran straight to the girl's restroom. I slammed the door open, and what I saw made my heart drop.

Utako was sitting on the ground with her back against a restroom door. A blonde girl's hand was around her throat. Suddenly I felt rage boiling up inside me. I heard one of the girls say:

''Girls. We're screwed.'' Then the blonde released Utako and stepped aside. I immediately ran to her side.

''Utako are you all right?'' I asked. The usual cheerfulness was missing from my voice. I was really worried for Utako after all. I helped her up. She swayed. I caught her and hugged her tightly to my chest. She was shaking and her breathing was uneven. I looked up from her to the scene in front of me.

''What's the meaning of this girls?'' the headmaster asked. He was obviously at loss of words.

''You were actually trying to kill one of our precious students? May I ask why?''

I was curious too. Why would they go as far as to kill an innocent girl? What did she do wrong? I heard the blonde one answer, but couldn't see her face.

''Because she loves Kise-kun.'' I was shocked. I couldn't believe my ears. Is it true? And if it is, then this was the reason they tried to kill her? Because she fell in love with me? I felt myself really stupid. ''Am I the only one who doesn't understand?'

I felt Utako stiffen in my arms. She was slowly trying to get free, but I was stronger and hugged her more tightly. I gathered myself from my stupidity and finally asked:

''And?'' at my words everyone grew silent. The blonde looked at me shocked.

''And…what?'' she asked.

''And what if she loves me? Is that enough reason to try to make her life into a hell?! Is that enough reason to try to kill her?! Answer me!'' I was nearly shouting at the end. I was so out of character that even the teachers looked at me shocked. Not to mention the other students. I couldn't believe that this was their reason.

The blonde finally came out of her shock and answered.

''Because she is not worthy enough to love you. She doesn't deserve to be with you. You're with her just out of pity right?'' she looked at me hopefully. She was hoping that I would confirm her.

''What are you talking about?'' I asked dumbfounded. ''I'm with her because I want to be with her. She is the only one until now who was able to be with me normally and don't go fangirling like I'm some sort of God. Don't get me wrong I like the attention you girls give me, but she was the only one who didn't look at me just like the model Kise Ryouta. She saw the normal 16-year-old boy in me. I still can't believe that just because I'm famous you would have killed an innocent girl with that reason that she became close to me.'' I realized I gave a really long monologue, but I was kind of relieved now that I gave out my feelings.

I looked down onto Utako in my arms and it seemed like she calmed down a bit. She looked up at me and I could read in her eyes that she wanted to say something. I nodded for her to just say it.

''Anyway…'' she spoke and suddenly everyone looked at her. She seemed to have lost her courage because she stopped mid-sentence. I squeezed her as if I was trying to give her my courage. She took a breath and started again.

''Anyway. How did you find out? I don't remember telling anyone anything about it. And I made sure not to give any signs. Not even to Kise-kun.'' she said. Now that she said it I wondered how did they find out.

''We got a mail saying you love him from…'' the blonde started, but she suddenly clapped her hands around her mouth.

''From who?'' she asked and I could read out of her voice that she wasn't sure if she wanted to hear the answer.

''Why should I tell you?!'' the blonde asked getting all daring again.

''Just tell her already!'' I snapped. I was at the edge of my nerves again. This girl's really pissing me off.

She flinched at my harsh words, but seemed to have gave in.

''From Mikazuki.'' she said defeated. I felt Utako stiffen in my arms. Wait. Wasn't Mikazuki her childhood friend?

''From Mika?'' she asked her voice dropping. I swear I could feel something wet on my arm. I looked down at her and saw that she was crying.

The blonde seemed to have gave up and continued.

''She said that she wanted to get revenge on you for something. We didn't believe her. We wanted evidence and that's when she showed us your diary. We didn't want to kill you. but you suddenly got so daring and said that Kise-kun won't leave you and so on… So we just lost our nerves. We're so sorry. If Kise-kun wants to stay with you then we won't interfere anymore. But I must warn you to look out for Mikazuki. I think she is not finished with you yet.'' with that she walked away behind the headmaster along with the rest of the girls.

The homeroom teacher came up to us.

''I suppose you should go home for today. Kise-kun, would you mind taking her home?'' she looked at me.

''Not at all. I'm more than happy to help her.'' I answered and the teacher smiled at us and walked out.

I released Utako, crouched down and turned her so she was facing me. She fell onto her knees and into my arms. I slowly soothed her back until she cryed silently. Her back was shaking lightly. When she seemed to have calmed down I pushed her away a bit so I could looke her in the eye.

''I'm taking you home okay?'' I asked and she nodded in response. I stood up and pulled her along with me. I took her hand and led her to our classroom. When we entered, all eyes were on us. I was afraid at firs that the students will come to us immediately, but they remained in their seats and I was grateful to them. I grabbed my bag and led her out of the classroom and the school too.

None of us talked throughout the whole way. When we reached their house she opened the door and let us in, I finally broke the silence.

''Where's your brother?''

''He's still at work.'' she answered obviously avoiding my gaze. When she started to walk away, I grabbed her arm.

''What is it, Kise-kun?'' she asked turning her head away even more.

I turned her to face me and pinned her to the wall.

''Why are you avoiding my gaze?'' I could not help but sulk.

''I'm not.''

''Yes you are.''

''Fine. Because now you know I love you right?'' she asked her gaze connecting to mine. Her eyes were a mix of emotions.

''Yeah. I know.'' I answered and smirked at her. I couln't read her expression which was bugging me even more.

''And don't you hate me now? Or aren't you gonna say that lets be just friends?''

''Nope.'' I answered casually.

''W…Why?'' she was at loss of words.

''Why, you ask. Let me wonder.'' I looked at her.

I slowly leaned forward our lips only inches away. I whispered five words against her lips:

''Because I love you too.''
