A DIFFERENT FEELING

Tokine walked to school. Just like the previous day, she felt disappointed. The teachers and other students too noticed her sad mood. She remained thankful and a little irritated at their asking what was wrong with her. The day passed off with students whispering of Tokine being different. But she just kept silent. At times like these, when her mind wandered off to faraway places she preferred silence. It always felt nice to be silent, to walk unaware, to be unknown, to focus on the nature rather than the number of people walking around and to believe in the spiritual energy that surrounded Karasumori which no other human other than from their families would believe in.

Tokine enjoyed the sound of the wind. Her hair moved in its blow which brought her back to the present. To the unfair world and reminded her of the duty rested upon them, Kekkaishis.

Tokine was back at the grounds of Karasumori. But this time with Hakubi. Nothing was different. The atmosphere was just like always- the power of Karasumori attracting more evil ayakashis. The sky was same but with a difference. Tokine almost gaped when she looked at the sky. Instead of the moon, what she saw was something blue…like glass. But it was harder than glass. On it sat someone, too familiar – she could recognize him even from the ground – and Tokine's mouth hung open. She made her own kekkais and soared up to where he sat.

"Yoshimori…!" Tokine smiled at him a little surprised and a little worried.

He realized her confusion and the cause of her worry. "I'm all right!" he said, which made her puzzled.

She never really understood how he could read her mind at times.

Tokine did not ask much. She just kept silent. Once again she felt that silence was better.

Hakubi and Madarao moved restlessly searching for an evil aura from far and near. As she was just about to come closer to sit by his side, Madarao and Hakubi announced an ayakashi. Both Tokine and Yoshimori sprang to action. Yoshimori ran at a pace she couldn't follow. He was too fast. Was she getting weaker by day? Or was he getting stronger by day? She didn't know. What she knew was something. There was something happening with Yoshimori that she couldn't yet really figure out.

Tokine tried her best, however meager the possibility was for her to capture the ayakashi before him. Because, she was that type of girl who never give up and tries to do the best till the end.

When her target was visible, Tokine looked at it and aimed. With her brilliant accuracy, she must be able to capture it. The ayakashi was rather a small one which made it easy for her to hold it in a single kekkai rather than destroying it with her kekkai spears.

"Hoi Joso!" she screamed. In the fraction of a second she could see Yoshimori looking back at her.

"Ketsu!" Tokine looked at the ayakashi. She had succeeded in capturing it. Yoshimori stood there looking at her. The ayakashi was not just inside a green colored kekkai. It had double layers. One layer of blue colored kekkai surrounding hers.

'Yoshimori' she thought. Not only was he running fast but his speed at making kekkais had also improved. He had only created that kekkai after he heard her voice.

"Metsu!"

"Tenketsu" they both said together. Yoshimori took a quick glance at Tokine and went back to sitting at where he had been sitting.

'What was it? There is some change in him. But what?' Tokine couldn't really understand. She followed suite and as she reached Yoshimori, she started talking.

"Yoshimori…"

He looked at her a smile forming on his lips. She was amazed. After all she didn't know that a smile always formed on his lips whenever he saw her beautiful face. It was like a soothing breeze. Something that gave him a wonderful feeling. A feeling that was inexpressible.

"I am all right!" he said.

"that's not it…" Tokine said. Yoshimori looked concerned. "why are you smiling?" she asked in lack of questions.

He blinked. Then opened his bag to take out something. Her eyes widened as she saw it.

"I made this for you!" he said and gave her a chocolate cake. Tokine almost felt she would loose her balance and fall to the ground.

What was this boy thinking? Is he mad? Wasn't he supposed to be resting? Wasn't that why she had visited him? To tell him that he will get well soon and that she will manage everything at Karasumori?

And here he was, baking cakes? Tokine's thought train was interrupted by him.

"Thanks for your cake and the flowers…"

"Huh!" was all she could say.

"You made it right? It tasted so good and here's my thank you present!" Yoshimori pointed to the cake in his hand. "Tell me if you like it."

"yo…yo…Yoshi…Yoshimori…" Tokine couldn't decide whether she should be angry at him that he was not resting, happy that he is fine or sad that he was again caring for her when he was not well.

She wanted him to know that she would be all right, no matter what and that he should take care of himself. "There's no need of a thank you present!" she said, not looking at his face.

She knew how well he baked cakes, she also wanted to support him in living out his dream. But he was meant to be a Kekkaishi and that he must be.

"Just taste this…" and he gave her a piece of the cake. It was delicious. The chocolate melted in her mouth. She closed her eyes and savored the moment and the cake. Yoshimori caught a glimpse of her face. He smiled an inner smile as he saw her enjoy it. Yoshimori looked away to hide the smile from her.

"how is it?" he asked her.

Tokine at once opened her eyes and said abruptly "it's not so different…"

Yoshimori smiled and came close to her...
