Kouya's POV

Man. What's wrong with Yamato? She's been acting strange lately. She nearly knocked me over hugging me this morning too. But right now… in class… she is different. She's not as much of a participant as usual. And it seems like whenever she looks at me she's thinking of something. What?

Even now, if I try to look at her she'll look away. It's normal…but at the moment it feels like something is wrong.

The bell rang for the end of class. Least it's lunch time now.! Yes! Maybe I can talk to her at lunch.

Regular POV

Yamato and Kouya got their lunch and made their way to the usual table. Yamato was a bit quieter, thinking about tonight. Kouya tilted her head and threw a small piece of bread at her.

"Hey!" Yamato threw it back and started to eat her salad.

Kouya laughed eating her taco and looked around. Spotting Ikuto she smiled squealing a little.

"Yamato! Look! There he is!"

Looking, Yamato felt a slight disgust. She continued to eat ignoring it a little. Kouya, noticing this, put and arm around her.

"Is something wrong Yama?"

"I'm fine. Just feel a little sick." She lied smiling.

Kouya titled her head but shrugged. "Alright, if you say so. Hey, can I come over after school? You know, get ready at your house?"

"It's not like your going to a dance." Yamato said a bit harsher then she meant. "I'm sorry Kouya…" she said quietly after seeing the hurt in her eyes.

'Wow…I never knew seeing Kouya hurt would hurt me so much.'

Kouya turned back to her food. "It's fine.."

Yamato looked up. She couldn't help but think of how much she cared for Kouya. Then Ikuto came back to her mind. She had to keep them apart, for now. Until she could prove to Kouya that she loved her too.

"Sure Kouya." She said with a bright smile. "We can walk to my house together."

When they finished their lunches they got up and went to a small group of girls. Yamato was spaced out though she would laugh at the appropriate times; nod, and so on and so forth. She never knew she could be so good at acting like everything was ok. But it gave her more time to think of how she was going to stall for tonight.

Kouya pulled her to their next class. The day seemed to go by pretty fast, for Yamato at least. When the day was over Yamato and Kouya headed towards the house not talking. When the silence got too quiet Kouya turned and started to walk backwards.

"Hey Yama,"

"Yeah?"

"Why are you so quiet? It's not like you."

Yamato looked up and gave her a smile but could tell Kouya didn't take it. She sighed and got up next to her.

"If I tell you something you won't freak out will you?"

"No. What's going on?"

Yamato kept her head down thinking of what to say.

"Kouya…I…I love you…."

Kouya smiled and hugged her. "I love you too Yama!" she said laughing. "Is that why you've been so distant today? Don't worry! You're like my sister! I'm not going to ditch you for Ikuto!" Kouya said laughing still as she went up the driveway to the house.

Yamato smiled and walked a little faster to catch up. 'Your words…I wish they had the same meaning that mine have. I wish you meant what you said. But you don't understand…yet'

Yamato went inside and followed Kouya to her room. She took a deep breath and smiled. Now, to help Kouya prepare for something she didn't even want her doing. Shouldn't be that hard should it?

Alright, now I know this was short and I'm sorry! I'll be trying to update soon! So review and tell me what you think…or no more story XD Lol, it's ok, I'll still continue, but reviews are loved.
