And back to the story loves~
.:Recap:.
Len's POV
I leaned forward to her face. Her mouth was already a bit open, so that didn't give me the trouble to open them myself. I took a deep breath and glued my mouth to hers while in the same time i was giving her air.
Her lips were so soft... it was addicting. She tasted like strawberries and a bit of peaches...
I opened my eyes to see my eyes meet the amber eyes i was looking forward to see.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Kahoko's POV
As I was being carried I was still pondering about Len. There was so much things I wanted to know...
Like why was he carrying me, he could've just let me lay down and wait for me to walk myself. Or what he was about to reply to LIli's question. Speaking of Lili, I have a feeling that this whole thing has to do with that little fairy. Just wait till I'm able to get up I am so going to-
I felt something touch my lips and air being given through my mouth. N-n-nani! What's going on!
As weird as the situation is, it made my body feel a bit better.
Wait wait, i meant that in a... a medical condition way... right?
I clenched my eyes and figured I could move them so I tried to open my eyes and saw a mesh of blue in front of me. As my vision got sharper, I saw that I was looking at cerulean locks. Not only that but I was also looking at eyes that were gold.
"...Len..." I said in a murmur.
Click.
"LEN!" I followed my first reaction and that was to scream, "Hentaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiii!"
Len's POV
'Kami-sama, why? Why!'
Kahoko was now breathing heavy breaths now, and not to mention she was trashing around. He bit his lip and grabbed her wrists and put it by her sides making her look at him now with an unease expression.
"Ka-,"Ahem. "Hino-san, it is not what it seems. You were unconscious due to lack of air from being underwater for so long, and I was merely following the rules of CPR. Please don't think I was trying anything else." 'Yes pleeease.'
She seemed to have trouble trusting me for a minute, but I saw that she has trusted the fact that nothing was happening by her eyes. Once I saw this, I calmed down myself. My eyes strayed from hers and to her wrists which were being covered by my own hands.
It made me think of the position we were probably in right now and with that I released my hold and sat back but I was still facing her with my head turned to the side so she couldn't have saw my face when I was blushing once more.
'How bothersome she is.'
Kahoko's POV
'Doshite...
Why is my heart beating so fast when I woke to see the proximity of our faces...
I shook my head. Probably the effects of being knocked out. I sighed then shivered involuntary. Why was it so cold!
I remembered my attire that night. 'Wow i feel so completely stupid now.' I looked down and saw that you could almost see my undergarments. Before I could've screamed again, my vision was covered and all I could see was black. Instead of a scream I let out a small squeak.
"Hino, relax, I just threw my coat to you. Put it on, it should keep you warm a bit while your clothing dries."
I took of the jacket that laid on my face and did as told.
"Next time, don't wear such attire for an evening walk." I looked up to him and it was obvious he was trying to hide the fact his cheeks were red. Hm? Red?
"Oh. r-right." I scratched my head while I tried to laugh to ease the tension in the air. "Um thank you T-tsukimori-kun..."
I saw him smirk. 'Eh! Smirk? Since when did the 'Ice Prince' learn how to smirk?' I blinked and he was back to his stoic face.
"For what Hino-san? The advice?"
"No not exactly. For erm... carrying me when I was knocked out, giving me CPR, and for lending me your jacket." I smiled to him. "I appreciate your kindness very much Tsukimori-kun."
Len's POV
I looked at her as soon as she was done thanking me and saw her smile.
That smile...
It reminds me of the time she complimented me on my violin skills by the practice room window...
I nodded to her. Usually people took this as a 'you're welcome.'
I looked up at the sky and saw it was already getting dark. Odd. Was it not a bit brighter before? I sighed. It cannot be helped.
"We should probably prepare ourselves for the night." I said.
She looked at me and saw I was looking at the sky.
"Uh... when i was younger, my family would drop me off at my uncle's and aunt's place to go camping. Well the first thing after we found a shelter was that someone had to bring wood of course to make the fire for warmth and someone is in charge for food."
I nodded at the information being given.
"What are you doing?" She asked me.
"Well getting the wood of course." I said as I strode over to her and handed her my hand.
Kahoko's POV
I took his hand and he helped me pull myself up since I wasn't used to standing yet.
"I guess that leaves me with finding the food neh?"
He nodded again and looked around. "Be careful Hino... as you can see we're not familiar with this place. Meaning we can get lost very easily."
Was that concern I heard in his voice, or was it just my wishful thinking again?
"Hai Tsukimori-kun. Take care of yourself too." I said as he walked away from the tree, and I, myself, walked the opposite direction from him.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
...
-Let's just say that this is a time skip, but not so big. Just enough for them to gather what they needed-
Len's POV
I was heading back now to our shelter.
It wasn't hard to gather some of the wood. It's actually a peculiar story.
-Flashback in Third Person POV-
Len was walking for a few minutes when he heard something rustling. He stopped and turned at the sound. He followed it and saw that there was a pile of wood there that he could use for the fire. Len wondered if it was a trap but after looking at it for some time, he decided to pick them up and head back to the tree.
Unbeknownst to the prodigy, there was someone there giggling.
-End Flashback-
I shrugged. I guess it's Kami-sama's way of saying sorry?
I made it through the last bush and once he reached the shelter, he noticed Kahoko has not yet returned.
Hopefully, luck was by her side as well.
I dropped the wood and saw that there were rocks by the tree that I could use to make the fire.
Even though I focus most of my time for music, and I am not able to cook, I am at least able to know some survival facts. And of course that included making the fire.
Once I was successful I just sat there trying to warm my hands by the fire. When i was done, I looked at my right hand.
This was the hand that I used to help Kahoko up to her feet.
She felt so fragile and at the same time so soft...
I put my hand down and stared at the fire which reminded me of her hair. I glared. 'Why does everything I see...feel...touch... must revolve around her?'
I 'Hn'ed and got up. I might as well look for her, who knows what happened to her out there.
Kahoko's POV
'Geez, when I was a kid, the forest really didn't seem so scary like now. Probably because onee-chan was with me. Now i'm alone...'
CRUNCH!
My breath stopped and so did my steps. What...was...that..?
rustle...rustle...
I think I was just being a bit paranoid now, so I continued walking even though my legs were shaking a bit from the sounds.
I pushed some of the bushes away as well as the branches.
There was this tree in front of me and I saw that there was a bunch of apples! My eyes were glistening I bet as I stared at them. I clapped my hands together and bowed. "Arigatou-Gozaimasu Kami-samaaaa!"
I giggled and put my hands on my hips in a thinking posture.
Now how am i going to get a bunch of those apples back to the shelter without dropping them... Well maybe first I should pick most of the apples out of the tree and put them down gently on the floor, then I can probably think of a way to bring them back later.
I strode forward and first picked the apples that were easy for me to reach. Then later on I had to climb up a branch and get one then go down again. The process was so tiring.
I sat on a branch with an apple in my hand.
'I bet if Tsukimori-kun was here, getting these apples would be much easier.' I almost dropped my apple.
W-what did I just say? Was I thinking about him again?
It's really hard to talk coherently when he's around. I stutter a lot. My actions fail to move smoothly as well.
Why...Why!
"Tsukimori-kun..." I said, not knowing that I had said it aloud.
THRSTLE!
I turned my head so fast that I lost my balance on the tree and fell backwards. I closed my eyes and held the apple close to my chest.
Suddenly the wind ceased and I felt like I was being carried by someone again, but of course I knew who it was even without opening my eyes. But i opened one eye just in case.
"You can't even pick apples without hurting yourself Hino? Hn."
"Tsukimori...-kun.." As I thought, he was there carrying me in a bridal style. Eh. Bridal...style?
I blushed.
Len's POV
I raised one of my brows as I saw her blush. Who in they're right mind would blush just after they had fallen off a tree? I sighed and set her down on her feet.
"...daijobu?" I asked afterwards.
I saw her nod. "H-hai. Thank you again Tsukimori-kun... Sorry for troubling you again."
I shook my head. "Iie, betsuni, it was no problem. I was looking for you anyways once i finished making the fire." I grabbed some of the apples she had already picked. "Come on, get the rest of the apples and let's head back."
She nodded and did as I told and we walked back to camp.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
...
Len's POV
Once we got back to the tree, we laid the apples and sat down by the fire to warm ourselves. We may have not talked, but it was in a comfortable silence.
Kahoko looked like she was daydreaming as she stared at the fire. I wonder what she's thinking about.. I looked at the fire again, but I saw something which interested me.
"Hino."
She snapped out her daydreaming and looked at me with her mouth slightly open. "What is Tsukimori-kun?"
"Your leg, it has a wound thats bleeding." She brought out the leg I was talking about and saw that there was a wound. It wasn't big, but it looked painful still. "Oh? I didn't notice..."
How could she have not noticed that? I bet it wasn't so serious, but probably it got worst as she was walking even more when we brought the apples.
"You probably had it when you fell of that branch. There's a river by here. Let's go, we can clean the wound." I got up again but she held her hand up. "It's alright Tsukimori-kun, I can walk myself." She got up but her leg was shaking so much she would probably had fallen again with one step.
I got up anyways, being the gentleman I was taught to be, I kneeled in front of her. "Get on. There's no way you can get there by yourself."
Kahoko's POV
As much as I didn't want to trouble him again, I knew he was right so I got on his back with ease. He stood up and held on to my legs as i held onto him by wrapping my arms around his neck.
He started walking and I began to ponder about Len's actions.
Even though his nickname was the 'Ice Prince' he really has such a warm heart.
I smiled to myself. I knew it.
He could have so much friends with the actions he shows me, but I wonder why he prefers to be stoic all the time and not bother to make conversation with anyone unless he's being spoken too first.
Unconsciously, I laid my head to his back again.
He really is a mystery...
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
...
Kahoko's POV
"Alright we're here." I heard Len say.
I raised my head and saw the river in front of us.
"Wow..."
Len walked a bit closer to the river and laid me in a sitting position by the river.
"Just stay still." He said to me, and I did what was instructed. He pulled the cuffs of his shirt at elbow length and he began to wash my wound by pouring the water on it.
I sighed in content. That really felt good.
Once he was done I looked at leg and I saw that the bleeding stopped. "Thank you again Tsukimori-kun. You've really taken care of me so much today..."
He looked at me with his golden orbs. "It's no problem Hino-san."
I smiled at him, but looked away when I saw something shine.
"Hey look Tsukimori-kun!" I pointed to the object. "It's a pink shell! Just like the one you showed me in the beach when you invited me for your parent's performance."
He saw the object I was talking about, and picked it up and handed it to me. "Remember careful."
I took it in my hands as if it was a delicate bird. "Ah, yay! Thanks Tsukimori-kun!"
Len's POV
Seeing her smile like that... It really... feels good. But why? She was the one happy. But whenever she's so cheerful it just does something to my heart. But I can't put my finger on why it's like this.
"You're welcome Hino." I said with a small smile of mine. But she failed to notice because she was looking at the shell.
"We probably should head back now if we want to sleep well tonight." I said with my usual expression on my face.
I kneeled once more and she got on and we headed back to our shelter to get our sleep.
