Chapter Two

-3 weeks later-

It took a total of 15 days for the city to be cleaned up of all the water and another 5 to get back to normal leaving the flood almost completely forgotten by the civilians but not by Chiro who continued to have nightmares about the close calls he had. Antauri and Otto had gone into his room countless times to calm down the boy to stop his screaming from waking up the rest of the robot.

Chiro sighed rubbing his eyes softly after another night of sleeplessness he sucked in a sharp breath as he yawned slowly becoming aware that the rest of the team was staring at him and obviously becoming more and more aware of what was happening. Not that he was afraid of water but because he was having nightmares over something and was losing sleep over it.

"What?" He said, trying not to sound grumpy.

"Well…" Nova said softly looking at Sparx.

"We're worried about you kid, you've been acting a bit strange lately."

"I'm fine. Just haven't been sleeping." He said, then continued eating his cereal as he tried to ignore the eyes on him.

"You heard him." Antauri said, "He's fine. Chiro, the rest of us are going to be taking inventory why don't you try to catch up on your sleep we don't need all hands for inventory this time." He said.

Chiro smiled, "Thanks Antauri."

After breakfast Chiro made his way to his room, kicking off his shoes before he flopped into his bed, not caring that he was still in his jeans. He was too tired to care at this point. He curled on his side slipping one hand under his pillow while the other hand was against his face.

He began to get that weightless feeling before he slowly fell into the darkness of sleep.

He seemed to be floating in darkness as he looked around. It was still completely dark for what seemed like hours before there was a speck of light that exploded into a wave of light that seemed so far away. Chiro reached for the light causing bubbles to form all around him. It was then that he realized it was happening again.

Chiro began to panic, realizing he was under water he tries to get to the surface but seems to be going only further and further away from the light. Chiro tried to scream, tried to break free of the water but his voice was caught in his throat. He began to flail when he suddenly fell slamming hard on the ground and snapped into consciousness.

He looked around realizing that he was safe in his room even though he was now on the floor tangled in his sheet. He looked at his clock and sighed, it had been less than ten minutes But that was more than he had gotten in a while.

He sighed, untangling himself from the sheets before he slipped his shoes back on and made his way down and out of the robot. He couldn't sleep, so he might as well continue the search for Jinmay who for some reason nobody had seen her since the night that he gave her his jacket.

He had no idea where to start looking for her though, he didn't know which one of the team brought her to the robot, didn't know where they picked her up from, he didn't know anything about her. Anything but a name. A name that sent his heart racing. He had only talked to her for a few minutes and now she was all he could think about.

Chiro made his way down to the pier sitting down on the deck looking at the boats in the water bringing in fish and after a moment he heard soft singing coming from the other end of the dock. He sat up quickly and looked over seeing a familiar little monkey dancing and a girl sitting down at the other end with pink hair.

Chiro quickly jumped to his feet and ran to the girl. Part of him didn't believe that he found her, and part of him even began to think it was a trap until he was right next to her.

"J-Jinmay?"

The girl looked up, a smile lighting up her face. "I found you!" She said, holding up the white jacket he had given her. "I've been looking for you for days so I could give this back."

Chiro smiled sitting at the end of the pier next to her as he pulled the jacket on his shoulders. "Thanks… I've been looking for you. How have you been?" He asked his face heating up as he caught a whiff of her Strawberry perfume.

"Good." She smiled, both completely unaware of her monkey Socko wondering away.

They sat in silence for a moment before Chiro's stomach loudly growled making them both blush softly.

"Um, do you wanna go get something to eat?" Chiro asked, "Hoverburger is open again."

"Sounds good." Jinmay said the both getting up and walking together. "So how have you been doing?" She asked, "You look really tired."

Chiro frowned and laughed, "You noticed that huh? I've been having a lot of nightmares lately, but I'm alright."

"Nightmares about what?"

"Water…"

"You're afraid of water?" Jinmay asked and Chiro nodded softly.

"Yeah." He finally admitted, "When I was younger… I almost drowned and never bothered learning how to swim is starting to cause me problems in life now."

Jinmay's stunning emerald colored eyes met Chiro's and he felt his face heat up. "I could teach you to swim if you'd like." She smiled softly, "I'm not a pro or anything but I know how to keep my head above water."

Chiro smiled back. He didn't like the idea of getting in the water but part of him felt that if he was with Jinmay everything would be alright. "Yeah, I think we can do that." He said.

"I'm just saying Antauri if you and Otto know if something is wrong with Chiro you should tell us." Nova said.

"It is not our place to tell. It took Chiro all his courage just to tell us what was wrong." Antauri said, "He will tell the rest of you when he feels the time is right, until then though we just need to be there for him in our own little world. He's a member of the team and nothing is going to change that."

"Besides, everythings fine." Otto smiled, "He's with us now and nothing bad will happen."

Nova, Gibson and Sparx glanced at eachother before Sparx sighed.

"I'm going to go check on him, it's been a few hours."

"If he's asleep don't wake him." Nova told the boy.

"Of course I won't." Sparx said, walking out of the storage area of the robot and headed towards Chiro's room.

Sparx didn't even bother knocking as he slowly opened the door and peeked in frowning when he saw the bed a mess and Chiro no where to be found. Sparx walked into the room looking around before he turned and stuck his head into the hallway looking around.

"Chiro? Where are ya kid?" Sparx frowned hearing no reply he walked through the halls checking almost area he could think of and when he couldn't find him he began to panic. Sparx pushed the com in his ear, turning it on. "Chiro, can you hear me kid?"

After a moment Chiro's voice came back, "What's up Sparx?"

Sparx sighed, "Where you at?"

"I'm at Hoverburger with a friend, why is their trouble?"

'Chiro has friends besides us? ' Sparx thought then smiled, "Nah kid we were just looking for ya. Have fun." Sparx then turned off his communicator.

As soon as Sparx did so there was a loud crashing sound coming from the weapons room. Sparx tensed up and glared making his way towards the room, looking around and glaring when he saw that nothing seemed touched. Everything was still in it's place, everything was still clean.

'You're getting paranoid Sparx. Probably just your imagination.' He thought to himself, then walked back out, unaware of the glowing orange eyes watching him from above.

"Was that your brother?" Jinmay asked Chiro who laughed.

"I guess you can call him that. His name is Sparx he's a member of the Hyper Force, he and the rest of the team is the closest thing to a family I've ever really come to."

"You don't have a family?"

Chiro frowned, "Not really. What about you?"

"Same, or at least I don't remember them." She smiled, then took another bite out of her hover burger.

"So then where do you live?" He asked, worried she was living on the street.

"Oh, I don't live far." She smiled, "I live in an apartment not far from here I clean for rent." She explained, "You worry too much."

Chiro blushed, "Yeah, well it's kinda my job to make sure everybody in the city is safe." He said, rubbing the back of his head.

"How about the two of us meet up again tomorrow? You can go swimming in the stream you can invite your family and we can all have a picnic."

Chiro blushed darker, "Sure. I'd like that."

When Chiro finally went home he was still frozen with shock and the team instantly picked up on this.

"Are you alright Chiro?" Otto asked.

"I think… I think I have a date tomorrow." He said, his face heating up at the look everybody gave him.

"Like a date date? With a girl?" Sparx said and Nova elbowed him.

"Or boy with we don't judge."

Chiro sat down, feeling in a daze. "Her name is Jinmay and her eyes… her eyes are really green and really pretty and her hair is pink and shiny and she's so kind and she wants to go on a date tomorrow a picnic. You guys can come if you want to though." He said.

"No way kid, this is your date you get to go and have fun." Sparx laughed. "Our kid's growing up."

"Indeed." Antauri said making Chiro blush even darker.

"Come on you guys." He said, pulling the collar of his jacket up to hide his embarrassment and blushed when he realized that his jacket still smelt like Jinmay. It was amazing.

For the first time in weeks Chiro's dreams weren't filled with fear and pain and instead were full of love and fun, something he hadn't experienced in what felt like forever. Antauri checked on him a few times throughout to night and was glad to see that he was still soundly sleeping and when Chiro finally did wake up they were glad to see the happy boy they were so used to walk around.

Chiro slipped on pants over his orange swim trunks before slipping on his jacket slowly before looking into the picnic basket making sure that they had everything they would need for the lunch that he and Jinmay had planned. His heart was pounding so hard in his chest he felt like he was going to throw up but at the same time he was so excited he could hardly contain himself as his hands shook.

The idea of facing his fears made him want to cancel but at the same time the thought of seeing Jinmay again made facing his fears again worth it.

"Let's get this over with." He smiled softly to himself before he then made his way into the main area of the robot where he was instantly met with a camera flash causing him to see stars for a moment before they cleared and he was able to see the entire team standing there and Otto was holding a camera with a cheesy grin on his face.

"That ones for the books." He grinned. "Chiro's first date."

"Probably his last." Sparx laughed teasingly.

"Don't listen to him Chiro, you'll do great." Nova smiled giving him a thumbs up.

"I hope so we're going to go swimming." He said rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

"Got a towel?" Nova asked as Antauri and Otto looked at each other worriedly.

"Yeah it's with the blanket at the top of the basket." He smiled, "I'll have my communicator if there's any trouble call me." He said.

"Don't worry about any of that." Nova said, pushing him towards the door. "Go! Have fun!"

The second Chiro was outside the doors air locked behind him leaving him outside in the scorching heat. He then made his way towards the park where the two of them had decided to meet up for their date. He was nervous, walking almost like a robot he was so nervous.

What if she didn't like him after all? What if she blows him off? What if she laughs at him? What if he drowns? What if she drowns and he isn't able to save her?

Those last two thoughts made him feel sick to his stomach. He tried to shake it off but the rest of the walk to the park the thought clawed at the back of his mind.

"Chiro!" Jinmay called, running up to him Socko following close behind her wearing floral swim trunks while Jinmay was wearing a soft green solid swimsuit that was lower in the back than it was in the front.

"You look great." Chiro smiled at her.

"Thanks."

"Do we wanna eat first or go swimming first?" Jinmay asked as Socko tried to see what was in the basket. "Or we could just hang out if you wanna."

"Let's just hang out and eat." Chiro smiled.

The two of them worked together to lay out the blanket before Chiro and Jinmay both tossed their towels over the branch of a near by tree before they sat on the blanket. Chiro gave Socko an Apple before he and Jinmay began to munch on potato chips.

"So what do you like to do?" Chiro asked the young girl trying to ignore the stream near him.

"Well I like being with Socko at home but being out with you is really fun." She said with a blush. "What about you? What do you do during your free time and stuff?"

"Honestly I don't have a lot of free time but being with you is beginning to be something I look forward to." He laughed. "Most of the time though I'm training to control my powers or fighting bad guys."

"What kind of powers?"

"Well, they're kinda hard to explain." He laughed, "They're nothing special though don't worry about it."

Jinmay smiled before she asked, "Can you show me? Or is your family weird about that? Like… you can't use them outside of the robot or something like that."

"No, I can show you it's just hard to control sometimes." He said, but smiled gently. He stood up then walked away towards a near by dead tree. His fist began to glow green before he swung it hard. "Thunder Punch!" The second his fist made contact with the wood it shattered and the tree collapsed. He walked to the trunk doing a roundhouse kick hard against the wood. "Lightning kick!" He called out once again the wood split in half. He then turned to Jinmay who smiled and clapped.

"That's cool." She said, "Can you do more?"

"I have other moves but I'd prefer not to do them without Antauri here." He laughed gently. "Like I said they can be hard to control sometimes."

Jinmay smiled and nodded, "Sounds like you're in danger a lot." She said.

"Yeah." Chiro sat back down on the blanket, "You have no idea. It's been almost impossible to keep the fact that I can't swim a secret from the rest of the team. Because if I told them they'd treat me like a kid. I mean what kind of thirteen almost fourteen year old can't swim." He sighed.

"Oh Chiro it's okay. We all have stuff we can't do." She said, then smiled, "I'm afraid of heights so I can't climb up ladders." She said softly.

Chiro smiled, then nodded. "Well." He blushed and smiled, "L-let's get started shall we?" He laughed nervously.

"Sure." She smiled getting to her feet before she waded into the water letting Chiro take off his jacket and jeans leaving him in his swim trunks. She turned back holding her out for the scared boy and after a moment he took it letting her lead him into the water until they were both up to their thighs. "Just keep your eyes on me and remember to breathe." She smiled softly.

Chiro nodded then glanced back at Socko who was hitting the water with his hands, a grin on his face as he did so. He looked back at Jinmay and let her slowly pull him deeper into the water until they were up to their hips.

"This should be deep enough, now." She got to her knees in the water, letting it get up to her chest. "Do what I do." She let go of his hand and began to slowly move arms through the water.

After a moment of hesitation Chiro sunk down feeling like his heart was going to explode or he was going to hurl in the water, he wasn't sure which one of them yet though. He looked at Jinmay again before he began mimicking her arm movements the water hitting his neck causing his breath to often get stuck in his throat making him more and more nauseous.

Jinmay got to her feet and took his hands again. "Okay, now let me pull you through the water." She said and while Chiro wanted to argue her beautiful green eyes captivated him and he no longer felt scared as she pulled him through the water his feet behind him. "Now start kicking slowly." She said, keeping her eyes in contact with his as he began to do as he was told.

'This isn't so bad as long as I keep focused on her I don't feel scared.' He thought to himself.

"I'm going to let go of your hands now, try moving them both at the same time, okay?"

Chiro nodded softly as she slowly let go of Chiro's hands. Instantly Chiro began sinking and began to frantically kick and wave his arms. It took him what felt like forever before he realized that he wasn't sinking anymore. He looked up at Jinmay who was smiling.

"Good job Chiro." She said to him.

Chiro smiled then made the mistake of looking at the water no longer being able to see the bottom thanks to all the dirt being kicked around he stopped moving his arms and instantly sank his head going under water causing water to rush into his nose giving him a burning sensation. It took less than a few seconds before he managed to stand back up still only being to his thighs panicking even harder to a point where all chances of him breathing was almost instantly washed away.

He dashed out of the water and barely made it to a bush before he lost his lunch and luckily a good chunk of the water that he had inhaled.

"Chiro! Are you alright?" Jinmay asked putting his towel over his shoulders.

Chiro wanted to yell, wanted to scream but he knew it wasn't her fault and that yelling at her wouldn't be right. He looked up at her and coughed. "I-I'm fine." He said, "I'm just not feeling too good."

"Let me back up the stuff and I'll walk you home." She said quickly.

"Yeah… I'm sorry." He rasped, still trying to get rid of the burning sensation in the back of his throat. This definitely isn't how he wanted the day to go.

Jinmay finished packing up the stuff before she kissed his head. "Chiro, it's not your fault, I should have been watching you closer, payed more attention if I felt something was wrong." She said, "Besides, your safety comes first."

Chiro blushed as Jinmay then took his hand and the two of them began walking, Socko riding in the basket in Jinmays hand while her other hand held Chiro's this time not letting him go.

The two made their way into the Super Robot and were quickly met with the team when they saw how sick Chiro looked.

"What happened?" Nova asked touching Chiro's face worriedly.

"Nothing." He said, "I'm fine. Everybody this is Jinmay." He said, holding his hand out causing everybody to stare at the girl who blushed and waved shyly.

"Hi." She said softly as Socko ran over to Nova tugging on her pants playfully.

"Aw you're adorable!" Nova said happily.

"That's Socko, I think he likes you." Jinmay smiled as Socko climbed up Nova's leg and began to play with her hair.

"Chiro, are you sure everything is alright?" Antauri asked him again as Chiro unconsciously began to press his lips together tightly trying to hold off the nausea slowly taking hold of him once again.

Chiro tried to speak but was unable to before it hit him and he took off towards the bathroom vanishing out of sight.

"I should go." Jinmay said putting down the basket. "She then smiled to the group as she took Socko. "Tell Chiro I'm sorry?"

"Why would you be sorry?" Nova asked.

"Just tell him I'm sorry I couldn't help." She said, then walked out leaving Gibson, Nova and Sparx looking at each other before looking at Antauri and Otto.

"I'm going to check on Chiro." Otto said quickly walking away and going into the bathroom.

Chiro was doubled over his head in the toilet as his body shook violently. Otto frowned sitting next to him as he rubbed his friends back.

"You alright buddy?" Otto asked and Chiro shook his head.

"I went under. I-I was doing so well but I went under and-." He coughed as another wave of acid and river water came up joining the large amount already at home in the toilet. Otto rubbed his back again waiting until the wave was finished before Chiro finished speaking. "I couldn't breathe just like back then I couldn't breathe and I panicked and it just made the entire situation… I'm so pathetic."

"Chiro it's alright. Everybody's afraid of something." He said again, "Besides as long as I'm here ain't nothing bad ever gonna happen to you again. I promise."

Chiro nodded softly before he sighed gently. "Thanks Otto." He was quiet before he spoke up again, "Can you get me a drink?" He asked.

"Sure thing buddy." Otto jumped to his feet his dishwater blonde hair falling in all directions around his head.

Chiro sniffled, flushing the toilet before he sat on the edge of the tub his head in his hands as he rubbed his nose and sniffled.

'It's okay. Everybody's afraid of something.' Everybody kept saying that but nobody really understood he was the leader! He didn't have the luxury to be scared! He had to protect the team and he couldn't do that if they were always so busy protecting him.

The next morning Chiro woke up once again with nightmares, but this one different than some of the others before them. This nightmare wasn't just about drowning, this one was a dream about the Skeleton King attacking and using Chiro's weakness to water against him. He failed to protect the team and the team fell because he was too afraid to help them.

He only got a moment of peace though before the sirens of the Super Robot began screaming loudly making his heart jump into his throat. Chiro wasted no time transforming into his outfit before making his way down in the main room where the team was all beginning to gather.

"Gibson what's going on."

"A horde of Formless have gathered in sector seven."

"Seven, that's a highly populated area. Too tight for the robot, team get your packs and let's go." Chiro said.

The team ran into the weapons room each grabbing their special sets of gloves and their rocket packs before running to the chest of the robot one by one jumping out and flying quickly towards sector seven.

Sparx had a big grin on his face as he flew circles around the others. "Man I love flying!" He said, having always called himself the best pilot flying was something he was an expert at.

"Just don't fly into a tree this time." Gibson said causing Sparx blush softly.

"Hey! It attacked me first!"

Chiro laughed softly as they reached the edge of sector heading towards the center where all the Formless were fathering. However two blocks before they got there Chio's rocket pack suddenly ran out of fuel causing the boy to instantly drop out of the sky at incredible and dangerous speeds.

"Chiro!" Nova cried out.

"I got him!" Sparx called loudly, diving straight down grabbing Chiro around the waist before he landed in a near by alley setting him down. "Kid, you alright?" He asked.

"Y-yeah guess I forgot to refuel. You go ahead I'll catch up on foot." Chiro said quickly and Sparx nodded quickly flying away to catch up with the group. Chiro then took off his pack and frowned when he saw that the plug to his pick had a hole in it, causing it to have a slow leak. It was unclear how long the hole had been there but it had to be a while to completely drain it of all fuel.

Chiro shook off the idea of sabotage before he quickly took off running towards where the formless were forming. He had just gotten sight of the first formless when a large furry object suddenly latched onto his face causing him to nearly trip. Chiro grabbed the furry object and held it out seeing Socko. He was scared and ruffled up.

"Socko?" Chiro frowned looking around. "Where is Jinmay?" He asked quickly.

Socko jumped out of Chiro's grasp and quickly took off running, stopping for a second as he waved for the boy to follow him. Chiro glared and quickly followed the Monkey through tight alley ways looking all around for the girl of his dreams and after a good ten minutes of running he saw Jinmay surrounded by Formless.

"Lightning kick!" Chiro called, doing a roundhouse kick as soon as he got close enough. His foot ripped through the bodies of the formless taking the four monsters alone before he jogged over to Jinmay. "Are you okay?"

"I am now." She said happily as Chiro took her hand and began to lead her out of the Alley but was stopped when Socko walked in front of them holding his arms out.

"I'm sorry Jinmay but I'm afraid this time you and your boyfriend are not going to be okay." He said, startling both Chiro and Jinmay.

"Socko?! You can talk?!" She gasped.

"And much more." Socko purred, pulling out what looked to be a detonation device. Chiro had no time to react before the monkey pushed the button and caused explosions all around the two of them.

Chiro grabbed Jinmay pulling her close to his chest protecting the girl with his body as thousands of pounds of rubble fell down on top of them.

Antauri had a bad feeling, a feeling that seemed to be digging its way into his stomach getting stronger with each moment. He thought it would go away after Nova took out the last formless but the feeling was only made worse when the ground shook and a loud sound much like that of thunder. He as well as the rest of the team quickly turned as smoke and dust jumped into the air. Instantly Antauri knew.

"Chiro." He said.

The team wasted no time as they quickly flew to where the smoke and ash was rising from landing outside the alley as it began to clear showing a pile of rubble.

"Chiro!" Gibson called, cupping his hands around his mouth.

"Chiro." Antauri said, pushing the button on his com causing a loud beeping sound to be heard from inside the rouble. Their worst fears almost instantly being realized when the sound of Chiro's communicator could be heard from under all of it.

"We gotta get him outta there!" Nova called as the team began to quickly pull rocks off of him.

It seemed impossible though, the more rocks they pulled away the more packed the rocks seemed to be packed together. The team began to panic more when more time ticked by. After twenty minutes passed Otto began to cry and hugged tightly to Nova who was struggling to stay strong but was beginning to fail.

"Chiro…" Nova sniffled loudly and after a moment the rocks began to move from the inside.

Rocks crumbled away causing the team to scatter fearfully as more and more rocks began to fall aside and to everybody's surprise they could see Jinmay slowly growing and growing more and more until she was the size of the Super Robot with Chiro in her fist. He was covered in scuffs and bruises and seemed to be in a heavy daze his head resting on her hand.

The team flew up next to Jinmay who seemed terrified of what was happening to her but at the same time was very concerned with what was wrong with Chiro.

"What am I?" She sniffled, her once light green eyes now much darker, her pale skin now grey and metallic.

"Jinmay!" Called out Otto startling the girl making her back up and hit a building startling her more.

She tightened her grip on Chiro causing him to cry out and making her gasp.

"Chiro!"

"Jinmay." He whimpered. "Team, go find Socko he's a bad guy. I'll try to calm down Jinmay."

"But-." Gibson said.

"Go!" Chiro ordered, "I'll be fine."

Antauri looked at the group who looked back at him concerned. "Go, do as he says. Find Socko and stop him, I will stay here and make sure that Chiro isn't hurt." He said.

The team didn't argue with Antauri and quickly left trying to find a small monkey in an entire city.

"Jinmay you need to relax." Rasped Chiro as he shuddered violently. "Just take deep breaths."

"Chiro what's going on?" She sniffled, "What am I?"

"I don't know what's going on, but I don't care okay? You're Jinmay and that's all I care about. You're Jinmay, a sweet innocent girl who likes extra pickles on her hover burgers, the girl who dips hover fries in her milkshakes and a girl who's eyes make my heart soar." Chiro whimpered as Jinmay opened her hand letting Chiro rest on her palm before he slowly climbed up towards and kissed her cheek. "Calm down Jinmay everything will be okay."

To both Chiro and Antauri's relief Jinmay began to slowly shrink back down to her normal size and the two were both safely on the ground. Chiro hugged Jinmay close as she sobbed against his shoulder.

"You're bleeding." Chiro said, touching her head softly her ear dripping blood that had a hit of black mixed in with it.

"You too." She smiled touching his arm that was scuffed up and bleeding.

"Are you kids alright?" Antauri asked the two of them and they both nodded.

"Where's Socko?" Jinmay asked.

"Gone." Sighed Nova, "We checked the nearest ten mile radius. We couldn't find him so he's either he's faster than we thought he was-."

"Or he had help getting off world." Gibson said softly.

Antauri glared at the ground at his feet, his arms crossed as his fingers dug into his upper arms. "Let's get back to the Super Robot." Antauri said, "Gibson I'll need you to check on Jinmay's well being and health when we get there. As well as Chiro's."

"Consider it done." Gibson said, gently leading the two children back to the Super Robot.

Antauri looked back at the rest of the group, "Let's look again for him, just in case. I suspect that Socko works for Skeleton King and was likely sent here to destroy Chiro." He said and the other nodded before they all went their own ways looking for the small monkey.

Three days later Chiro and Jinmay stood on the pier, tears in both of their eyes as they looked at eachother.

"I know you have to find out what you are and where you came from but I'll miss you." He said softly.

Jinmay smiled holding up the communicator they had given her. "Don't worry Chiro, I'll always call or leave messages on what I'm doing and where I am. I promise I'll be safe."

Chiro nodded softly hugging her tightly. "I don't wanna say goodbye."

"Then don't." Jinmay said, pulling away as she kissed his cheek. "See ya, some day." She said, then turned jogging a few feet before she jumped into the air and with the use of rockets formed in the bottom of her feet she took off flying vanishing into the sky. Chiro watched until she was out of sight before he sighed and blushed softly, touching where she has kissed him.

"I'm going to miss her." Otto said, coming up behind Chiro making the boy jump.

"Yeah, me too." Chiro smiled.
