Heli: Dear SkyChild11, thank you so much for the great reviews. You've made me hug my phone twice and to show my appreciation (and to make up for making you get teary eyes when reading In the Death-Dark) I wrote this short. I figured you'd like something cute (which was hard to do with Hibari and keep him in character). Please enjoy :)

Rhage: Dear Lovely Reviewer, I love you. You're reviews are the sweetest nectar for my artistic soul. They are the feathers for my wings. Candy for my tummy. Priceless jewels for my-

Heli: *swats him on the head* I think she gets it.

Rhage: *sighs dreamily* All my reviewers are amazing. Their loveliness cannot be compared- *starts waxing poetically*

Heli: *talking loudly* ENJOY THE SHORT.

It just isn't the same without him Taka thought as she stepped onto the roof of her new school and looked around at the small groups distastefully while trying to find a quiet spot to sit and eat her own lunch. Not finding one, she sighed then glanced up at the shack that covered the staircase. The roof was unoccupied. Might as well. Taka walked around to the back then hauled herself up onto the shingles then pulled out her lunch, sighing again. What was this? Why was her heart heavy? They'd only been separated for a week and she was already missing him.

It didn't seem to matter that he walked her home everyday this week or that they'd spent time together at the park after her class last night. She still missed him. Missed their daily fights and staring up at him with the sun like a halo behind his dark head (he still never let her win at their fights). She missed how he would lean quietly against her afterwards, their body heat mingling. She missed how she'd smell like him when she went to class.

Chopsticks dangling from her lips, Taka stared wistfully up at the wide blue sky. Was he doing the same back at Namimori? Maybe...could he be missing her too? Taka shook her head. Nah not her Kyoya. He was too aloof, too independent to be mired in his feelings. He was probably stalking his halls and scaring the first years. That thought made her smile. That was more like her Kyoya. Several screams jolted Taka from her thoughts, her chopsticks landing in her lap as she twisted to look behind her. A group of girls had gotten to their feet, their food scattered on the roof while they backed away from the railing at the edge and the boy that stood balanced on it. Her mouth popped open when his gray eyes landed on her and he leapt nimbly onto the roof, the groups silent as they watched him stride across the tiles to the shack.

"What are you doing here?" Taka demanded when Hibari stopped below her, his forehead furrowing.

"Move over." She did as he said and he leapt up, easily hauling himself over the ledge to sit next to her.

"You didn't answer my question." Taka said stubbornly when he snagged her bottled water for a sip. Hibari's eyes slid to her face then away before he lay back on the shingles and closed his eyes. Taka's eyes narrowed as she poked his cheek with a chopstick.

"Answer me." She growled, pulling the chopstick away when he swatted at it, his lips pursed in irritation. She poked him again.

"Come on."

"Stop." Another poke.

"Tell me."

"Herbivore." Taka ignored the warning in his tone. She prodded him again, enjoying the anger in his eyes when they flew open to glare at her.

"Why are you here, Kyoya?" She wasn't going to admit that the answer didn't matter. She was just glad he was there.

"I-" He paused and when he swallowed, Taka's heart stuttered. He only gets like this when it has something to do with his feelings.

"Sorry I didn't catch that." She said and leaned closer, trying not to grin. Hibari scowled.

"I mi...missed-" He huffed when she smiled wide, waiting for the rest.

"Hmm?" Hibari growled then grabbed a handful of hair and dragged her down onto his chest before pressing his lips firmly to hers.

"I missed you, you dumb bird." He grumbled after he pulled away. Taka smiled as she curled up to his body, her face resting on his shoulder. When his arms wrapped around her, she sighed contentedly.

Rhage: Review please! :D

Heli: Is it weird that I find it more romantic that he climbed the side of a three or four story building to be with her than the actual fact that he wanted to be with her? Just me? *sighs* yeah probably...
