After a long sleep, Ryoma woke up. The classes were already finished. She went to the big tree again. She sat there thinking.

'Important person? If I say Sei isn't an important person for me, I'll be lying' Ryoma thought. She really doesn't know what to do. She can't hate Sei even after what he did. Ryoma remembered the assignment. 'For me, Sei is… I… I like Sei. No, maybe I love him. I can't say "loved" because I know that somewhere in my heart, I still love him. A part of me still yearns for him. The me back then that I locked away inside my heart. The real me so no matter how many times I told myself that I hate him or how many times I order myself to hate him, I can never do that.' Ryoma said to herself sadly. She started humming a tune. Even though she doesn't want to do the assignment, it seems like it can't be helped. She likes to make songs that say the things she cannot say. Her real feelings.

Unknown to her, two boys were there. Yukimura and Kirihara were there. Kirihara told Yukimura that someone completed his notes so they decided to check it out. When they arrived, they saw Ryoma. Ryoma started humming.

'My feelings for Sei back then?' Ryoma questions herself. 'That's right, I …' Ryoma started creating lyrics. She closed her eyes and remembered all the days she spent with Sei. Her hums became a song.

Before love, my deep feelings were born within the seven seas

No matter how big my "final wish" may be, I will never give up

I shed my first tear as I recognized a small star

The darkest hell is before day break… you know don't you?

To the seven seas, sending out stardust

will light up the far away journey I'll partake and change into my guide.

Before love, my deep feelings were moving me.

The blueness of the sky and sea before me became one... and were as noble as a star.

I want to believe in the strength I have now.

Don't worry, I'm not mistaken.

Facing out towards you, these feelings of mine are true.

Bless this starry night!

Because I love you the most, you become my strongest source of courage.

The silence of the morning you journey away, I think of that promise I made to myself.

Surely you remember, in the memories of the sea

the warmth that we still have between us... and our smiles that sleep within it.

For our dream, I'll fight and all lives will glimmer

As the sky and the sea gently play a blue tune... making an aria of stars.

As long as I remain myself, nothing will shatter between us.

Even on nights when I can't see the constellations, I feel closer to you. The time is coming.

It's just a moment in love.

Before love, my deep feelings were born within the seven seas.

No matter how big my "final wish" may be, I will never give up.

I want to believe in the strength I have now.

Don't worry, I'm not mistaken.

Facing out towards you, these feelings of mine are true.

It's just a moment in love.

Bless this starry night!

Bless everything, starting tonight!

Ryoma's tears started falling. Ryoma wiped her tears but it just continues to flow. It won't stop. She really hates herself. She's think she's such a crybaby. Then suddenly, she remembered her reason for being that cold towards people beside her family and cousins. 'That's right! I just have to remain myself. I just have to remain cold and arrogant towards people that I don't know well. Then, Sei will surely come back. He won't hate me anymore.' Ryoma thought. She stood up and wiped her tears. ' Gomene, Sei (sorry. Sei)' She thought. Ryoma went back to her room. Unknown to her, Yukimura recorded the whole thing even the part of her crying.

Author's note: The song Ryoma sang was pichi pichi pitch-before the moment English. Please tell me how the Rikkaidai members act. I really don't know their attitudes. I tried reading stories about them but I just can't get it. Please help me. That's all, thank you for those who reviewed.
