Kazu didn't know how long he sat there, just thinking, long after he had stopped crying. It could just easily have been thirty minutes, or thirty hours. All he knew was that he was numb inside.

He laid with his back to the wall, and as such, he wasn't taken by surprise when Simca climbed up and squatted in front of him. That's not to say that he was to thrilled.

"What?" He asked, speaking in monotone. Rude? Yes, but Kazu didn't really care right then.

Simca ignored his attitude, asking in a voice so cheerful, it almost hurt. "So, am I to take it from your voice and sulking that it was you I heard outside of Ikki's window. One look at Kazu's surprised expression was all it took for her to be assured this was true.

In a tone that might have been used to describe the weather, she asked another question. "Do you and Ikki have something going on?" Again, Kazu didn't reply, being in something like a state of shock, but his quickly red face told Simca the answer.

"Oh, well that explains a lot."

Kazu got over his muteness to ask, "What is that supposed to mean?"

Grinning, she leaned over, and whispered rather seductively in his ear, "This"

And, with that, she kissed him full on the mouth.

For about ten seconds Kazu was stunned into silence. Then, when what happened hit him, he shoved her away.

"What the HELL?" He demanded, rather loudly, "I just told you-"

Simca started to walk away, but looking over her shoulder she gave Kazu the thumbs up sign. "Yeah, that was pretty much Ikki's reaction too."

With that, she was gone; leaving a-once again- stunned but rather happy Kazu behind.
