Splish. Splash. Splish. Splash.

The rain is coming.

Splish. Splash.

What to do. What to do.

What to do when the rain comes.

Let's clap our hands three times

And wish that the rain will not come

Another day.

Buddha, please, I want to play

In

The

Sun…

Her eyes lightly opened. Her eyes blurred for a moment but were focus when she felt warmth blanketing her hand. Her eyes rolled anxiously, not knowing what the warmth was and what it meant. What happened? Where is this? Her thoughts came rushing by. Am I still asleep? Dreaming? Have I reached Japan? Or is grandpa still waiting for me go back in the house to change? Some thing warm then slowly spread on her forehead. Slowly, she regained her consciousness. This warmth… Could it be him...

'O… O-chan*?' she whispered.

'Miss? Are you awake?' a gentle echo filled her ears. Miss?

Then her eyes jerked open, now knowing exactly what had just happened. She looked up at the ceiling, not willing to see what or who had woken her up. In her mind, a voice cackled. You are sooo~ stupid, Baron? Her jaws clenched.

'Miss?' the echo once again filled her ears. She rolled her head to the left, annoyed. The silver-haired young man stared at her anxiously, and she noticed that he was the one who gave warmth to her hand and forehead.

And that feeling washed over her again as she now looked at him – the same feeling that wrapped her chest when she first set eyes on him. The voice in her head cackled again.

She jerked her hand off of his clutch, tumbling over the bed and fell as she tried to avoid him.

'M-Miss?' He ran, but perhaps jogged, towards her and kneeled. He offered her his hand and gently asked, 'Are you okay?'

'D-Don't touch me!' She slapped his hand away, terrified that something strange would happen to her again. What is this… What is this feeling? This feeling of… contentment. Her eyes blazed in anger. Contentment? H-How dare someone make me feel something like this!

She stood up abruptly and looked for the door. When she found one, she marched to it and flung it open. She didn't care where it led her to…

… until a certain brown-haired person came and blocked her way.

'Where are you going?' he asked accusingly.

Her brow twitched. She was planning to kick him away, but with her lack of stamina, she could only reply - 'Somewhere that you will not be able to reach.'

He smirked. 'A funny mouth for a teenage girl.'

'At least, I am not an imprudent imbecile like you,' she growled. 'You are blocking my path.'

'I was going to move away if you hadn't been so rude,' he mimicked my formality.

'And you have not been rude towards me?' she hissed. 'Move. Right in this instance.'

'May I hear a 'please'?' he mocked.

She opened her mouth, but snapped it shut when a creeping presence approached her back. She hastily pushed through the gallant figure in front of her.

Touya raised a brow at her, scratching a patch of his hair. 'What is wrong with her,' he mumbled.

Yuki sadly smiled. 'I don't know, either.'

'She's gone right, that girl?'

'Maybe...?' Yuki answered unsurely.

'But somehow…'

'Hm?'

'…somehow, I get the feeling that we are going to meet her again.'

'Oh,' Yuki chirped, 'that's highly possible!'

'Eh?'

Touya didn't get what his smile was, until - 'Sakura put your favourite shirt on her, since her clothes were soaked with rain when you brought her in.'

He stared at him, dumb-founded. 'What?'

~A short but long-winded chapter. How is that possible? Anyway, I am going to apologise in every chapter of my story. Sorry! DX I am still trying to improve and my mind went blank when it comes to vocabulary, so sorry for repetitions of words. Also, the rain has gotten into me -_- Come to think of it, is Touya out of character?

(Please see chapter 3 if you want to know all of my rumblings are -_-;)
