Zaizen couldn't catch up...He gave up along the way...Kin-chan other the other hand continued to ran and my head was getting dizzier by the second. It seems like eternity but we finally stopped. I completely ran out of energy but Kin-chan was still brimming with it. He grinned at me and said, "Aren't I fast?".

I smiled at him and nodded. It was a pretty wild day but I really enjoyed myself. However I noticed Kin-chan was looking around in panick. So i asked him what was going on.

"Nee-chan, I don't know where are we...", he said panicking even more.
I looked around and realised the area was part of my way home. So I assured him by saying, "Let me take you home. I know this place."

Kin-chan nodded and followed me. He told me where he lived and I took him back to his home. Along the way we chatted about things that we both like and our families and friends. When we arrived, Kin-chan's mother greeted me and apologised to me for Kin-chan behaviour. I didn't mind so I told her there wasn't a need to apologise to me. And then I returned home.

On my way back, I remember the times I spent with Zaizen. Like he flick my forehead saying I was a baka or when we ran back home because of the heavy rain. Somehow I smiled to myself as I remember all these moments. I felt happy to be together with him, to see him smile, yet I worry something might happen if I do that...Accepting his confession might trigger something for sure, I can feel it.

When I arrived at my front gate, Zaizen was there waiting for me. He came up to me and looked straight at my eyes...He was waiting for my answer...I could tell from his eyes. I looked at him and took a deep breath in...My lips started to move as I whispered to him," Zaizen, I love you too."

I could see happiness on his face. He was smiling as he lifted me up with both hands, hugging me. He was like a kid who gotten his first pet. Since I said that, I decided to face the challenges that was going to arrive in my, or should I say our near future.

That night, I looked out my bedroom window. I closed my eyes and felt the wind blowing against me, as though trying to blow away the moisture I receive from my shower and trying to calm me down. Even the sound of the night was trying to calm me as well. It really made me calmer and helped me sort out my thoughts.

Then I lay on my bed and looked around my room. It was really a strange feeling that Zaizen and I was actually an item now. And I will actually be going to the beach with Zaizen's family tomorrow. It was like nothing has happened at all but only our relationship has gotten stronger. I closed my eyes, hoping it would be a better tomorrow.

The next morning, I went to the Zaizen's for their outing to the beach. They were pretty surprised when I left but did not dare to question me regarding the matter. Furthermore I could tell that Zaizen's brother must have forced Zaizen to spill the beans. Zaizen was uneasy when he stood beside me as his brother glared at him.

When we arrived, we immediately changed and set up a spot on the beach. Zaizen's nephew wanted to play with me but Zaizen took me to a quiet spot on the beach, where no one was in the sight. I felt relaxed from the tension that his family was giving off.

"Do you feel better?" Zaizen spoked.

I was impress that he could tell so I replied, "Yeah. Thanks Zaizen."

Zaizen seem a little disappointed when I said that. I was wondering why he felt that way. But then Zaizen suddenly spoke," Call me Hikaru...Yuki..."

I was because he called me Yuki, but because he wanted me to call him Hikaru. I was blushing like mad and so was he.

"Hi...ka..Hika...ru?" I muttered softly.

I could see that smile on his face as he lifted me up and had me sitting on the rocks. We were at the same height as this point. Then Zaizen... I mean Hikaru lean towards me and kissed me.
