After we finished our ice cream Momiji and I went across to the park just as I had asked if we could. I was glad to see that my old swing, Mika, was free for the taking. I immediately ran over and got it before any of the little kids could.

"So this is still your favorite one?" Momiji asked and started pushing me.

"Of course it is! How could you think I might even have a new favorite?" I accused dramatically.

"True, what was I thinking?" he gave an airy laugh. A laugh I never wanted to stop hearing. Wait. What? Since when the hell do I think of sappy crap like that? And about Momiji none the less! 'Oh that's right… Since I realized I have a crush on him.' I mentally slapped myself.

"Exactly…" I smiled, "Hey… uhm… Momiji-kun… Could I ask you something?" I dug my feet into the ground to stop me from swinging and turned to look at him.

He had a confused look on his face, "Uhm… Sure." He nodded.

"Well I was talking to my mum last night and she told me that she's sending me away for the summer… I'm going to visit with my aunt in New York…"

"R-really, the whole summer?" he frowned.

"Yeah… So I wanted to ask you… It's gonna be ok if I call you like… everyday right? I mean… I understand completely if you think that's unreasonable though. I could try every other day if that would work better for you." I blushed at how stupid I sounded and looked down

"No, every day is just fine Akemi. If you want you could call more than that actually. It's not like I'm gonna have anything to do with you gone anyways." He smiled.

"Really, thank you Momiji! You're really best friend I could ever ask for!" I wanted to hug him so bad right now, but I knew I couldn't, 'Damn that curse.' I sighed.

"Thanks, so are you Akemi." He kissed my cheek and started pushing me again.

"Mm… I promise to bring you back presents too! Now that I know I can call you all the time I'm really excited." I grinned, "My auntie said she and her husband own a small café and sometimes really famous people will come in! I wonder if I'll get to meet any. That would be so coolio!"

"Yeah, it would." He agreed with me.

"Mhmmm…. Maybe Paul McCartney will stop by! That would be the best day of my entire life!" I closed my eyes and let the wind blow my hair around my face as my legs swung back and forth a bit.

"Oh yeah, that would be pretty great." I could practically hear the smile in his voice.

I'm so glad he agreed to let me call him every day, and even more so that he said it would be good if I did it more than just once a day, "So yeah… If you get a call from me one day and I'm just screaming, you'll know what happened." I giggled.

"You'll either have met Paul McCartney or be falling to your death, right?"

"Exactly, most likely the first one though ^^"

"Good, I don't want you to die. That would make me sad."

"Yeah, I know." I smirked.

"Hey, you'd miss me too if I died." He pouted.

"Oh boy would I ever… Who else would I turn to when my life goes to hell? Kisa's sweet and all, but that's too much for her to handle."

"Exactly." He nodded.

After a while I pulled out my cell phone and it said it was eight o'clock, "Oh wow… Look at the time; I should probably head home now. I still have some math homework I need to get done and my mum wants me asleep by nine." I sighed.

"Oh… Ok. I'll walk you home then." Momiji stopped pushing me and took my hand before heading back towards the Sohma estate.

The walk back was a little long, but it was nice. I closed my eyes and Momiji led me home so that I could hear the crickets better. They made such a peaceful sound, and were very helpful in getting me to sleep at night.

When we arrived at my house mum had left the porch light on for me. I rummaged around in my front of my backpack pocket for my Hello Kitty design house key and finally found it in my actual jean pocket, 'Blonde moment much?' I mentally smacked myself. Usually I was pretty good about that kind of thing, but oh well, everyone has there moments.

"Well thank you for an amazing time Momiji-kun. I can't even remember the last time I've have this much fun. The park was my favorite part; it's been a while since I'd gotten to do something so childish. Lately it's all been work, work, and more work… What with dads business taking off, and mum working a full time job, the only one left to take care of the house is me." I sighed.

"Yeah… Well any day you want me to come over and help take care of your chores I'm glad to help." He smiled softly at me.

"Thanks Momiji-kun, I think I'll be taking you up on that offer pretty soon." I opened the door and went inside.

"Oh, you're home finally. How was your day with Momiji?" My mom asked as I walked into the living room where she was watching an episode of one of the soaps she recorded.

"It was really nice. First he played me his violin and I took a nap at his house, then we went to get ice cream, and last but not least we went across the street to the park we went to on my eleventh birthday and I told him I was going to be leaving for summer. I asked if it would be ok if I called him everyday and he said I could even call more than that if I wanted to." I blushed lightly.

"That's great sweetheart. I'm glad you're finally ok with going to New York now." She smiled.

"Yeah, me too… Well I'm going to bed. Good night oka-san." I went to my room and turned on some mellow music before falling fast asleep.
