Hello, it's me again! Even though this chapter is short, I hope you will like it X)

"You know, that cloud somehow looks like a cat." Kanade pointed her finger at the white, fluffy clouds above her. She lie down on the floor while hugging the black cat in her arms. She glanced at Rukawa, who did not even budge from where he laid down. She couldn't see anything though, since she is now facing Rukawa's back. She turned her face away and the wind blows softly. She closed her eyes slowly.

Rukawa opened his eyes, said nothing and still kept his back facing her. Kanade fell silent for a few seconds, probably felt the sweet breeze brushed against her white skin. The sunlight got blocked by one of the cloud when Rukawa looked up to the sky. It is still clear blue, not as grayish as he thought.

Rukawa narrowed his eyes, and silently closes it. The warm breeze continued to blows, and he can felt its warmth between his fingers.

"Hey," Kanade's voice rose, calling him from behind his back. "Do you think it will rain?"

"Who cares?" Rukawa answered. He couldn't hear anything else after a few moment of silence. He sighed once, finally decided to end his afternoon nap. Not really afternoons nap since he couldn't fall asleep even for a minute, mostly because of this girl beside him kept yapping like a fox.

"Ah, you are up. I was just thinking about drawing on your face while you are asleep."

"Get lost."

Kanade giggled, stroked the cat's fur with her free hand. "I thought about naming this cat." She squinted her eyes when she lifted up the cat on her hand. The cat meowed, looking at her curiously while she looked at the cat intently as she thinks for a name. "I can't decide what name I should give him."

She rolled her body, facing Rukawa who is now looking back at her. Rukawa raised an eyebrow when she stared at him, waiting for him to say something. He sighed and scratched his hair. "It's black, so just call it Kuro."

"Aren't you being prejudice by calling it "Kuro" just because it's black?" she protested, pouted as she rolled again and now turning her back at Rukawa. She poked the cat's head gently with her index finger.

"People do it the same way." Rukawa said, turned his gaze away from her.

"But, don't you think maybe the cat wished to be born as a white cat instead of black? Don't you think he hated how others treat him differently just because he was born as a black cat and not any other color? Maybe he never wanted to be a black cat, but he just couldn't do anything to change it anyway."

With his head still looked up to the sky, Rukawa glanced at her. Surely, he couldn't see anything other than her back. "You sound as if you are the cat yourself."

"Do I?" Kanade sits up, looked down at the cat. "I know, I will call him Shiro."

"… Why did you name him the opposite?"

"I won't take no as an answer! Mom said so, that's why Dad can't protest!"

"…"

"Right, Dad?"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"You see," Kanade grinned. "Because we are the one who gave him a name, don't you think we somehow acted like his parent?"

"… Cats don't give any name to their offspring."

"Well, because we are not cat, that's why we named him!"

Rukawa sighed and hit his stiff neck softly. "You can do what you want, just don't drag me in."

Kanade frowned and glanced at her watch, released Shiro from herself and it ran down the stairs, vanished from their sight. "Aaaw, it's already this time? I have to get to work." Rukawa turned his eyes at the girl who is now standing, stretched her stiff body and releases a heavy sigh. Her hair turned gold for a second because of the setting sun's light.

"You have work everyday?"

"Oh, are you indirectly asking me to go for a date?"

"…."

"Just kidding, but well—yeah. Not really everyday," she yawned. "Everyday except Thursday. Why are you asking?"

"No reason." He answered.

"Yeah."

"What?"

"What?"

"Why do you say 'yeah'?"

"No reason, really." She grinned and Rukawa raised an eyebrow before stands up and walking out the roof. Kanade followed him from behind, she tilted her head. "Are you angry?"

"Why should I?"

"Aaaw, just nevermind then." Kanade laughed, giving up. "But, I'll tell you something then. I work this hard because I want a camera."

"…Camera?"

"Yup," Kanade grabbed her bag and placed it on her back. "I always wanted to be a photografer, but—I don't know. My brother never let me, I mean, everytime I try to talk about it to him, he would ask me to stop. And I don't have another choice, do I?"

"Your brother?"

"Yeah. Oh, I have to hurry." She ran towards the school gate, but she stopped suddenly. "Do you want to come?"

"Come?"

"To my work place." Kanade answered. "I won't force you if you don't want to though."

A silence for a minute. "It's not like I have anything to do, so—"

"Great, let's go!" With a big smile, Kanade grabbed Rukawa's arm and pulled him to run with her.

"Don't pull my hand!"

"Aaw, come on. We have to hurry unless you want me to get fired! Oh, and don't we look like a couple, running hand by hand like this? Are we eloping?"

Silence again before all of a sudden Rukawa placed his hand on Kanade's head and messed her hair up, then he ran past her.

"Eeeeh? What the hell are you doing?" Kanade frowned, trying her best to fix her hair while she's still trying to keep up with Rukawa. Finally, she decided to forget about it and ran past him, sticked out a tongue before turned.

Rukawa chuckled but he didn't say anything. He ignored all of Kanade's complaint when he looked up at the sky, again. He doesn't even know why he always looking at the sky—the sunset and all.

They seem prettier.

That's what he thought.
