Chapter 15
Never Take the Easy Way Out, Lies
"Is love supposed to last through all time, or is it like trains changing at random stops. If I loved him, how could I leave him? If I felt that way then, how come I don't feel anything now?"
Aoi Hyuuga
Aoi reached out to touch him. She withdraws her hand. She hesitated in actually giving him comfort. She clenched her hands into fists and sighed. Whatever he said sure did cut through her. She unclenched her hands and reached out to him.
She turned him around and pulled him into a hug. She rubbed his back, calming him down. She closed her eyes and breathed his scent.
"If you love her, go after her." Aoi said in a whisper.
Reo didn't pull back but he answered, "Sometimes, I wondered…maybe it's better to just look at her from afar…but then my heart couldn't stop asking, 'What if I was with her? Could I make a change?' Surely the mind states a different story…something to help you reason out and get you through each night. But then again, the heart…says the truth. That you can't let her go, you won't…and you shouldn't." He paused for a moment and pulled back. He looked at her and said, "One thing I learned through those years of actually watching her is that, the truth is like a scalpel…it cuts through you."
Aoi stared at him with pity as she patted his shoulder and said, "You made a mistake…in actually trying to move away. Maybe now, you learned. Maybe now, instead of taking a step backward…you might actually take a step forward and face it."
Aoi smiled and turned heading for the front of the building, "This isn't a fairytale, that when you make a mistake you could just rewrite it or turn the page back or erase it…Reality bites, and it bites you hard…Its up to you if you would endure the pain…or do something about it." With that she left him. She smiled as she headed out.
She didn't look back but she knew that whatever she said sure did put some sense back to the king. She was here to change…and she did. She won't be stepped on anymore…but she won't step on people either just because she was stepped on. Instead, she wanted to change that. She wanted to make people see that she didn't do this to ruin anyone; she did this to actually answer some questions for herself and to actually see what she was really meant to be.
She walked happily until a hand stopped her and pinned her to the wall. She was about to scream when she saw who it was. Her eyes widened and she calmed down a little bit. She gulped and breathed deeply.
It was Yoichi Hijiri.
She blinked once…twice and many times until Yoichi spoke in a husky yet mad voice. "Why were you with him?"
Aoi couldn't answer him; she stayed quiet for awhile and finally spoke up, "I just talked to him." Aoi then looked down.
Yoichi was mad. He didn't know why…he was watching them the whole time. He didn't get it. He just hates it. He doesn't get why he was so mad when all they did was talk…and hug.
"I don't want you to be around him." Yoichi finally said.
Aoi looked up and said, "But…but why?"
Yoichi rolled his eyes and said, "You must stay out of this. If you interfere, you'll end up getting hurt."
"How does being around him or talking to him making me interfere?"
"Listen, I don't like you playing dumb. I don't want you to get hurt with this game I'm pulling off and I know you don't want the same. So if I were you, I'll keep my distance from him for awhile." Yoichi said. He looked at her for a couple of seconds then moved from being on top of her. He walked away but was stopped but a tug on his wrist. He turned around to see Aoi holding him.
"It's not okay for me to be around him…but its okay for me to be around you?" Aoi asked in small voice.
Yoichi took his wrist from her but she won't let go. Instead she pulled and then they both ended up leaning on the wall. Aoi's back was on the wall while Yoichi's hand was on both sides of her head, stopping him from falling on top of her fully.
Yoichi closed the gap between them and said, "Yes," he paused. "I'm not playing the role of the good guy here…and neither am I playing the bad guy. But it's still up to you if you want to stay beside me or not…just not beside Reo."
Aoi's eyes narrowed as she nagged at him, "Reo's a nice guy! More than you think you know him! He's willing to change for Lil's sake! You should at least see that!"
"What I saw was you hugging him!" Yoichi said in a stern voice.
This didn't hold Aoi back as she said, "So what? It was just a hug! It's not like I kissed him—"
She was stopped with a rough kiss.
Yoichi didn't pull away so quickly. As his hands slowly slid down to her waist, Aoi, on the other hand, gave in a little too quickly as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She closed her eyes and so did her. They kissed…
Yoichi pulled away as he hugged her tightly. He whispered in her ear before kissing her forehead and walk off, "Even if it was just a hug…it makes me jealous enough to actually let myself lose control. See what just happened?"
Aoi was left there dumbfounded as she touched her lips. She blinked a few times as she looked at him walk away. She…she just let herself…kiss her by Yoichi. She closed her eyes and smiled to herself…she had to admit, she love it.

Everyone was quiet and seating on one of their hang outs. It was in a hotel room. Every boy's paradise, you might say. TV, stereo, PSP, guitar, drums, play station, Wii, DVD's, arcades…and more. They were all doing nothing.
They were just staring at the table…until Ruka finally said, "I need to actually pull of something to make Hotaru go with me to Hijiri's party."
"I got a force date with Misaki. Why don't you go and put up a big billboard saying, 'Please say yes' or something like that." Tsubasa suggested.
"Oh yeah! And I can do that when she run laps during gym class! That way, everyone will actually see and she might be nice enough to actually think about my embarrassment." Ruka beamed. He finally thought of something to pull off, thanks to Tsubasa.
Kitsuname chuckled and said, "We'll see. I bet that she won't be nice at all. I bet 100 dollars."
"I bet 100 dollars that she will." Tsubasa said with a smirk.
Natsume cleared his throat as he pointed at Yuu. "What's wrong?" Tsubasa asked.
"Nonoko." Was the simple answer of Yuu.
"What about her?" Ruka asked.
"She lied about…her liking somebody else. And we ended up in a fight. And her crying…me leaving her like that." Yuu explained in a small voice.
Kitsuname heaved a sigh and everyone looked at him, even Yuu. Everyone knew that when he does this, he wants to say something important. And he did. "Don't you think you're fair now?"
Yuu narrowed his eyes and said, "She took the easy way around. She lied to me." He said with venom.
"You used her…and she doesn't even know…" Kitsuname trailed off, "If she knew, do you think she would even bother crying over some user like you? I don't think so." Kitsuname looked at him with a small smirk and said, "She would think that it was just a little pay back. That if you used her to be free from your dad, she could lie to you to be free from you."
Yuu stood up and said, "Those are two different situations, Kitsuname."
"It may be so…but you have the same goal…to be free. Doesn't change much, huh?" Kitsuname paused to stand up and looked at him face to face and stand right in front of him. "I guess, when she finds out that you used her, and she lied to you…she will just say, 'it takes two to tango, anyway.'"
Yuu glared at him. He hates when he makes sense. He turned around and grabbed his coat. He said, "You don't make sense at all. She doesn't know…and its better that way."
Kitsuname chuckled and then grabbed him by the collar and said, "Then let me put some sense into you…and give you a little pain to make you see that somehow, it won't be always better that way." With that Kitsuname punched Yuu on the face. He gave him a hard blow. And in seconds, Yuu was on the marble floor. Kitsuname sat on top of him and grabbed his collar and said, "I never told her. And I never will. I'm a loyalist, after all. But hear this, I still hate what you did...and if you will just let it slip like that, you'll just make more mistakes." Kitsuname stood up and moved off him and helped him up.
He looked at him and said, "She does not suppose to chase you…so don't make her. You said you're a man…it takes a child to mess things up and man to actually fix it. You said you love her, prove it." Kitsuname poited at the door before saying, "Swallow your pride and be man enough to forgive her…"
Yuu looked at Kitsuname and smiled a small smile. He looked at the rest who was smiling back at him. He ran to the door and quickly had one thing in mind, 'I chose her, I loved her, and now I must chase after her. After all, she's worth it…she's worth everything to me now.'

Kitsuname sat on a chair with a huff. He looked at the rest of them and said, "I guess even if I hate him so much…it takes more to actually hit him with hate. I didn't do that because I lost control…I did that because I know he needed it more than anyone."
Tsubasa smiled and Ruka chuckled, while Natsume smirked. Koko just stayed silent as he stared out the window.
Ruka raised a brow at him then looked at Tsubasa. Tsubasa shrugged.
"What's wrong, Koko?" Natsume asked him.
Koko looked at him with bothered eyes that only show when he had a huge problem. It was very rare for him to be troubled. "I…nothing." Koko muttered under his breath.
Natsume wasn't convinced. So he then said, "Okay, I'll just ask your best friend, Sumire." With just a mention of her name Koko snapped to look at him with wide eyes which earned a little laugh from the boys.
"No…no…don't!" Koko said in desperation.
"Then tell us." Tsubasa dared.
Koko heaved a sigh and said, "Just…just don't laugh when I tell you, okay?"
Everyone nodded. Tsubasa even raised his right hand as if taking an oath to never laugh to whatever Koko was gonna say.
Koko was silent for a moment so, Ruka and Tsubasa along with Kitsuname got some beer. They drank some when Koko said, "I like Sumire."
Instead of laughter…beer was spitted out. After that, Ruka, Tsubasa, and Kitsuname coughed their throats out. They weren't laughing at all. Koko waited for them to compose themselves. Ruka composed first and said, "What?! But…you…You can't!"
"You're total opposites!" Tsubasa continued what Ruka was really trying to say.
Koko looked out the window and said, "I was about to tell her during lunch…but…I chickened out."
Natsume heaved a sigh and said, "So, when are you gonna tell her?"
"Maybe never." Koko answered not turning his head around. "I can't risk our friendship just because I like her…or just because I have feelings for her."
Kitsuname rolled his eyes and said, "Then, good luck trying to be a good friend. Let me remind you that it's hard to be a good friend when you're in love with your best friend."
Koko closed his eyes for a minute then opened them. He looked at each and everyone until his eyes landed on Natsume. He looked at him and said, "How did it go with Mikan?"
Natsume forced a small smirk and said, "I guess…we have different beliefs."
Kitsuname didn't smile but he said with a serious tone without looking at Natsume, "And you just have to be okay with that. Just as I will be okay with Anna liking me a little but not as much as I like her…or love her and just as Koko will be okay with keeping himself from pouncing on every man that Sumire will date.
"Sometimes, no matter what you do, the people you treasure so much just can't treasure you back the way you do. And you just have to be okay with that."
Kitsuname looked up at Natsume and said, "And sometimes, you just have to let fate play its part. And wait."
Tsubasa smiled a little and then added with a little playful tone, "I guess, fate is just starting with us."
Ruka smiled at this as he remembered what Hotaru told him on their first date, 'I guess so. Fate has a game that everyone is forced to play. And I guess me meeting you is just the start of it.'
Ruka then stood up and said, "I better start playing Hotaru's game now…I am not losing to her…not now." With that Ruka walked in elegance as he headed for the door.
Natsume looked out the window as he was lost in his own world. Could it be possible that this is just the start? He didn't mean to fall in love with her brother's first love…he didn't mean to lie to her about a lot of things…he just wanted to keep his promise. A promise that says, 'I will make her happy like you're alive.' Didn't he take it a little too much at heart that to the extent, he ended up lying about who he really is. Is he the one who loves her, or is it him playing as Natsuke Hyuuga? That question, the question that Kitsuname asked him, still played in his head. And yet even though how smart he is…he can't answer it. Back there…when he said I love you, who the hell on Earth said it? Was it him or was it someone he pretended to be?

Mikan paced back and forth as she was in Nonoko's kitchen along with the others, complaining about Natsume.
"And he didn't even chase me when I walked out!" Mikan shouted.
Hotaru raised a brow and said, "You want him to chase you but you want to get away from him? Don't you think that contradicts a little?"
Anna giggled at Hotaru's statement. She heard the sarcasm in Hotaru's voice. Misaki, on the other hand, was busy throwing her head on the table for the umpteenth time of the evening.
Nonoko stopped cooking as she shouted at Misaki, "That's it! What the hell is your problem!?"
Misaki looked up with a miserably look. "I don't want to go with Tsubasa at Yoichi's party. What if my mom and dad will see us?! What will they think!?"
Anna looked at her twin then at Misaki. "That you're together! Duh!"
"My point exactly! Because we are not together!" Misaki shouted then murmured, "Well, not exactly together as in…I liked to be with him and be his Girlfriend kind of together."
Hotaru chuckled as she then said, "Misaki, Tsubasa is just playing a game with you. Why don't you just play along?"
"And be thrown into damnation!? No thank you!" Misaki said.
Nonoko shook her head playfully. Anna started to laugh. Nonoko then said, "In case you didn't read what Gossip Girl stated in the newspaper, she said the what Tsubasa wants, Tsubasa gets."
"So we suggest you just play along…but not fall for him until he stops bugging you and find a new leaf to bug." Anna continued for her twin when she finally composed herself.
Misaki placed a finger on her chin and grinned. She finally found a way to get rid of Tsubasa the bug. The only question is…Is Tsubasa that much of a player to actually find a new one until the last nerves of Misaki pop?
Mikan heaved a sigh and everyone looked at her with an expectant look. Mikan then said with a low voice, "I want us to be okay…"
"Then why don't you go the easy route?" Nonoko suggested.
"Which is?"
"You just tell him you love him…and end up being with him. That way, he gets what he wants, and you get what you want: him. Tell him you love him and you think that you belong even if you don't." Anna said.
Mikan looked at them. As she said, "Isn't that kind of…evil? I mean, to lie to him just to fill up my selfishness?"
Nonoko and Anna nodded.
Hotaru then said, "That's the easy route which made Nonoko end up having a terrible fight with Yuu." She paused, "The hard way out is, you tell him, you still don't believe in love and destiny but if time will abide, and agree that you two are meant to be then…only time will tell. But for now, he just have to be okay with what you really feel…and think."
Misaki then interrupted, "And what are the possible outcome after she said that?"
"Natsume, if he becomes an idiotic son of a gun, will break up with you. But if he becomes a son of a whatever good there is in this world, then he might understand and swallow his damn pride and be okay with it...until Mikan loves him back."
Mikan then finally spoke up, "So, there's a fifty-fifty chance that I'm risking my love life when I take the hard way out?"
"Yes, but if you take the easy way out, and Natsume finds out, you'll end up like Nonoko. Hopeless, stupid and puffed eyes." Misaki said in a smug tone.
Mikan dropped on a sit and banged her head on the table. Since when did the world become so complicated for a high school girl like her? This is why she hates love, it brings you nothing but complication, trouble and pain. Why can't life be simple? Even just for her? Even though it sounded unfair for the others, she thinks that…life is unfair so shut up and stick with it. Suck it up!
Mikan was lost in thought, Misaki chatted with Anna about what she was gonna wear on Yoichi's party, Hotaru started typing on her laptop, and Nonoko turned back to her cooking again. That is until they heard the door open. And saw…
"Yuu?" they all said. Hotaru closed her laptop then said, "What do you want? Shouldn't you be home and start throwing knives on Nonoko's picture or something, nerd boy?"
Yuu flinched on the nickname that Hotaru gave him. He heaved a sigh and ran a hand through his little messed up hair as he said, "I want to talk to Nonoko."
Misaki looked at him with narrow eyes as she said, "Did you practice your hateful lines, Greek god of Geekness?"
Yuu once again flinched at the new nickname. He then forced a small smile and said, "Actually, I'm here to apologize and talk gently to Nonoko."
Anna stood up and grabbed whatever Nonoko was holding and pushed her towards Yuu as she said, "Well, I'll finish the cooking…you have some business to attend to. Tata!"
Anna closed and locked the door behind her and said, "They really need to talk. And Nonoko needs a date."

Nonoko was uncomfortable, so she started to look around, avoiding Yuu's eyes. Yuu rolled his eyes and heaved a sigh. He placed a finger on Nonoko's chin and moved it to make sure she was looking at him.
He stared at her for a minute then said, "Answer me this."
Nonoko didn't reply and kept quiet.
"Do you have any feelings for me?" Yuu continued.
Nonoko stared at him wide eyed before saying like a parrot, "Fe—feelings?"
Yuu nodded. Where was he getting at? Simple. If she says yes, then everything will be perfect for them. If she says no, then he won't give up. Right now, what matters is, he forgives her and he knows where he really stands in Nonoko's life.
Nonoko looked up and started to think, 'The truth? I do have. But the question here is…am I willing to tell him the truth? What if he asks if I love him next?! What will I say? That I don't believe in that damn thing?!'
Yuu waited patiently. He smirked a little as he saw Nonoko really thinking. Then Nonoko heaved a sigh and said, "The truth?"
"Of course…no more lies, please."
"I do have some feelings for you…but…its not like…yours…its not love." Nonoko answered. She paused then continued, "I really, really like you, Yuu."
Yuu smiled…which was awkward for Nonoko. It wasn't the reaction she was waiting or expecting, rather. 'Why the hell was he smiling?!' Nonoko shouted in her mind.
Yuu pulled away from her and then said, "That's okay. At least now I know that somehow, I have a hell of a chance with you."
Nonoko smiled also, relieved. "So, does that mean, we're okay?"
Yuu turned around and dug his hands into his pockets and said, "Be my date in your cousin's party, okay?"
Nonoko raised a brow and said, "If I say no?"
"No will never be accepted." With that Yuu walked away shouting, "I'll pick you up at seven."
Nonoko was taken aback out how Yuu reacted and with his actions. He acted like nothing happened during lunch. Nonoko, feeling dumb, hit herself to check if she's awake. That's when she realized that she has a date with Yuu. She jumped for joy.
She knocked hard on the kitchen door until all the girls came rushing just to unlock. They opened the door to see a jumping Nonoko. "I have a date!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The next day, Ruka was standing beside the stage in the middle of the track field. He was timing when Hotaru would start running and have a perfect position to see his banner.
"This is so gonna work!" Ruka shouted.
"I won't be so sure of that." A voice said from behind. Ruka looked behind him to see Nonoko.
"And why?" Ruka questioned with a little sarcasm.
"Oh, don't think I'm joking." Nonoko said hearing the sarcasm in his voice, "You see, Hotaru is a very hard to get person. You must play before you win, dear."
Ruka smirked and said with pride, "Watch me as I win without playing." He saw Hotaru running laps as he snapped and a banner were right on stage saying, 'Hotaru Imai, will you be my date?'
Rukae walked to the stage to show that it was from him. Hotaru stopped running. She was everyone was attracted to the banner and started chattering. She rolled her eyes and then shouted to make this game a little more fun, "No pain no game!"
And then the moment she said that, the sprinklers became on. Everyone left running to the gym. Hotaru giggled…what!? Hotaru Imai giggled!? No one saw of course. She started running but not before seeing an irritated Ruka. He started kicking the banner as he became wet.
Ruka went down to meet Nonoko still dry. Nonoko tilted her head to one side and chuckled at the way he looks. Ruka narrowed his eyes, "Spill."
A smile crept on Nonoko's angelic face as she bit her lip and then winked at Ruka. She then said, "First, your main goal shouldn't be to make her say yes but to irritate her to the end."
Ruka raised a brow for her to explain why.
"Because…there was this one time when Mikan wanted to go shopping with Hotaru but she doesn't want to. So, Mikan did everything, from making breakfast with letterings that say, 'go with me!', then up to throwing rocks at her windows, then changing her message tone with Mikan's voice saying, 'lets go shopping Hotaru!' which was the reason for her to be laughed at by the whole class in computer class, up to sending everyone a message that Hotaru's gonna go shopping with her. And at the end of the day, Hotaru gave up and said yes."
Ruka started to laugh. Mikan was wild…she was unpredictable. Who would have thought that she would go through silly tactics just to go shopping with Hotaru?
Nonoko cleared her throat as she continued, "Second, don't make her see you irritated, always keep your cool. If she sees you mad, tired or irritated, the more she enjoys it. The torture is a prize for her."
Ruka nodded as he kept that all in mind.
"Third, don't hesitate on doing childish tactics…even if it causes you detention. Fourth, when she confronts you don't cut to the chase, instead, play a little mind game. And make sure youn irritate her. When she's irritated she doesn't know what she gets herself into." Nonoko paused and beamed a little as she says, "Fifth, always have a crowd!" Ruka smiled a small smile as he waited for the last one. Nonoko looked at him in the eyes and said, "And lastly, don't ever ask about what you really want…state it, because if you ask, you're giving her a chance to embarrass you, state something irritating to make her confront you."
Ruka nodded and muttered thanks. He waited for Nonoko to say goodbye and leave him. He watched her leave as he planned his next move. Oh this day might be long…but its gonna be fun!

Lunch time. Everybody's favourite time in High School.
Reo Mouri sat down in his usual seat with his friends. He was chatting. And loud laughs and chattering could be heard in every part of the cafeteria. Reo, although chatting with his friends, was scanning the room for a girl…and no its not Lil.
When he spotted her he stood up and said, "Hey!"
The girl turned to see him waving at her. She pointed at herself and mouthed, 'me?' Reo nodded with a smile. She walked towards Reo's table until he was a foot away. She halted and said, "Hey, Reo, what's up? Why did you call me?"
Reo smiled an irresistible smile at her, "Nothing. Want to have lunch with me? I mean us, Aoi?"
Aoi looked around before saying, "Uh…I guess, you heard that Lil's absent huh?"
Reo just nodded his head the smile still not getting out of his charming face.
"Oh, okay. I mean, I don't have anybody to eat with anyway." Aoi said as the Reo moved a little to make some space for her. She placed her lunch on the table before sitting down.
She sat silently as Reo chatted back with his friends.
Aoi was silent for a minute until one guy, Hiro, said, "So, Aoi Hyuuga right?"
Aoi just nodded with a small angelic smile which was returned by Hiro. "I like the new change. You should keep that."
Aoi giggled at the compliment. She haven't noticed that Hiro was amking a move on her which was pretty obvious to everyone in the table. "So, you're going to Hijiri's party, right?"
Aoi flashed her eyes on him. She opened her mouth to answer when a voice behind her answered. "Of course, she wouldn't miss it for the world."
Aoi turned around to see her best frined, Yoichi. Aoi gulped and stared at him. Yoichi walked casually to the table as he reached where Aoi was sitting and placed two hands on both of her shoulder, standing behind her.
"You're coming too, right? I mean all of you." Yoichi asked with a smirk. He looked at each and everyone in the eye.
Some nodded, and some made a sound to answer a yes. Yoichi smiled this time as his hand slipped to Aoi's hand and said, "Great," he paused then looked at Hiro then at Reo, "You wouldn't mind me taking this princess away, right?"
Hiro smiled a small smile. He knew his chance was blown right out the window. He nodded a little. Reo, on the other hand, didn't nod. Yoichi didn't wait for his answer. He made Aoi stand up and was about to drag her when Aoi stopped.
He looked at her with a questioning look. But Aoi turned to see a hand holding her other free hand. It was Reo's.
Reo gripped Aoi's wrist as he said, "Stay, please."
Aoi looked at him with pity and then looked at a frustrated Yoichi. Yoichi thought that it meant she was staying, so he slowly let her go.
Aoi had little flash back of the kiss they both shared. She stopped Yoichi with a grip of her own in his hand and took her hand away from Reo.
Aoi looked at Reo. She was gonna say, 'sorry but I don't want to.' But instead she said, "I can't. I won't." ith that eo gave up and let her go. Aoi took a step forward. Yoichi gripped Aoi's hand back as he drags her out lightly out of the cafeteria.

Yoichi stopped and let her go. He faced her with a deadly look as he said, "Why were you sitting with him? Didn't I tell you to stay away from him!?"
Aoi was taken aback with the tone of her voice. She then said in a whisper, "I just had no one to sit with."
"But that's no enough reason for you to be with him!" Yoichi shouted. Aoi kept silent. He continued, "And didn't you notice that Hiro was making a move on you!? He was just making you comfortable then the next thing you know you'll be making out with him!"
Aoi looked down but was forced by Yoichi's hand to look back at him. Yoichi was so mad. He wanted to kill Reo for always being near his Aoi and Hiro for making his move on his Aoi.
Yoichi was a little insane as he said, "Does this mean you're still in love with him!?"
Aoi showed an irritated face as she shouted back at him, "No! Hell no!"
"Then why won't you follow what I say and stay away from that little bastard!?" Yoichi said as he grabbed her by the shoulders.
Aoi tried to struggle away but it was no use. She just said, "I'm trying just don't pressure me too much!"
"Trying?! Are you telling me that what I saw in that damn cafeteria is what you called trying?!" Yoichi shouted back at her.
Aoi kept quiet, knowing she was wrong.
"You are still in love with him." Youchi said in a cold but low voice. As he slowly llet go of the shoulder. He turned around and started to walk off from Aoi with clenched fists.
Aoi was so silent that she didn't even felt that she was crying already. She looked up to see him walking off from her. And on instinct she hugged him from behind, stopping him from walking. She was crying behind him. She didn't want him to go…not now…not ever.
Yoichi held her hands on his waist as he comforted her. He knew she was crying because of what he said.
Aoi calmed down and said, "Maybe you are right…maybe, I wasn't really trying to keep away from him. But," she paused to breathe "You're not right about one thing."
Yoichi kept quiet waiting for her to continue.
"I'm not in love with him anymore." She paused to burry her head against his back and breathes his scent. She turned her head again and said, "Because…I love somebody else."
Yoichi closed his eyes and tightened his grip on her hands, making sure she will never let him go. Aoi wasn't planning to let him go any soon from now. She gulped and breathed his scent once more before saying in calm and sincere voice, "Maybe it was just plain vanity or an infatuation…who knows?" she started as she pressed herself more onto Yoichi as she continued and said in a near to crying once again voice, "Is love supposed to last through all time, or is it like trains changing at random stops. If I loved him, how could I leave him? If I felt that way then, how come I don't feel anything now?"
Revies please:D
Stay Safe:D
