I knelt on the shore not believing what just happened. I heard Luka calling my name, "Yuma! What happened?" Everyone ran over to me.
"What happened Yuma? Where is Kaito?" Luka knelt down next to me.
"Kaito…" I stuttered. I stood up and walked towards the water, "... was swept away…"
Gakupo punched me, "how could you let him go in the water!"
"I… just wanted to swim with him…" I replied.
"Gakupo, that's enough. It's my fault," Meiko stated. She helped me up, "when he asked me why, all I told him was that Kaito did not feel like it then."
"I have to go save him…" I pushed away from Meiko.
"And how you going to find him?" Gakupo snapped.
"I… don't know…"
"You see, even if you told him he's to stu-"
"I will find him! It's my fault, so I will find him!" I yelled. I walked to the water. I have to find him! I forced him into the water and he saved me from that wave. I clenched my fist, "... Sempai…"
.
We searched for hours. Checking the nearby shores to see if he washed up on any of them. There was no sign of him. I held Kaito's blue scarf tightly in my hand. What have I done? Why couldn't I tell that Kaito felt uncomfortable? I stared out into the sea, "Sempai… where did you go?"
I sat down holding my head. Maybe… if I was never here… it would have been better. Gakupo would have Kaito and be all happy, the others would never have to worry like this. I stood up and walked towards the water. What if I just dissapeared? It would be better right?
"Brat, what are you doing?" Gakupo walked up to me.
"... Nothing… just, thinking," I replied.
"Stop thinking and help search," Gakupo ordered.
"Yeah… sorry…" I walked near the shore quietly.
Gakupo asked, "is something wrong?"
I stopped, "hey…"
"What?"
"If I were to… go away… would you be happy?" I asked.
Gakupo took a deep breath, "so happy."
I smiled, "is that so… then-"
"So 'happy' that Kaito would be crying from the day you disappear to the day you come back. So 'happy' that Meiko, Rin, and the others would be sad."
I looked at Gakupo, "wha…"
"So happy… that one of my family members are gone…" Gakupo glanced away. I stared at Gakupo wide-eyed. Family…
"But… I-"
"Stop being so depressed," Gakupo walked up to me, "would Kaito want you to be depressed? If… If we really lost him! Would he want you to just kill yourself?!"
"No, but-"
"No 'but,' If you understand, then keep searching!" Gakupo looked at me with seriousness in his eyes.
"Um… sorry to bother you two," someone said.
We both looked over, "K-Kaito? Sempai?!"
Kaito walked over the bushes and smiled at us. He held a floaty tube in one hand and a bucket in another one. "I'm back~"
I ran over to him, "Sempai!"
"Ah, Yuma-kun. Sorry for worrying you," Kaito looked at Gakupo, "sorry… Gakupo…"
He did not put 'kun' at the end… Does that mean?! No, no… I hugged Kaito. Kaito pushed me off softly and walked to Gakupo. He touched his face, "sorry… for worrying you."
Gakupo that bastard! Huh? Gakupo… looks like he's going to cry… Did this happen before? I feel jealous… I sat down and sighed, I'll let this pass.
Gakupo held Kaito close and kept repeating his name. Kaito would pat his head and run his fingers through Gakupo's hair smiling and saying that it's alright and that he is fine. I stared at the two, something must have happened before. Either to Kaito or Gakupo.
I heard the others running over. They must have heard us calling out to Kaito. They all rushed to Kaito, hugging and crying. Even though I'm very happy that we found Kaito… I'm curious… about Gakupo and Kaito. What exactly happened?
I shook my head, I can't be thinking like this. I have to smile. I walked towards the others, "so, Sempai, how did you get back?"
Kaito thought for a bit, then answered, "I don't know~"
We all went silent. Meiko ruffled Kaito's hair, "does that really matter? We finally found our precious brother!"
They laughed. I smiled, I'm glad… that he's back. I walked to Gakupo, who was just staring. I patted his back, "don't be so depressed~"
Gakupo looked at me. I felt a shiver go down my spine. He's going to hit me… Gakupo sighed. He smiled at me, "you're right… I shouldn't be like this." He walked to the others. I scratched my head, he smiled… at me…
After our happy reunion, we all headed back home. I did ask Kaito how he got back, but he seemed to really not remember. Once we got home, Len, Rin, Piko, and the other 'kids,' wanted to throw a party. So we ended up throwing one. Meiko and Luka got drunk, and it was a nightmare.
"Yuma~ Let's drink!" Meiko swung her arm around me.
"Ah… no, I don't think I should," I tried to refuse her.
Luka came up behind me, "come on~ It's fun!"
"No, I really don't think-!"
Meiko shoved the glass into my mouth. She let the sake slip all into my mouth and began cheering, "Yuma drank!"
Kaito ran up quickly, "Meiko-nee, you shouldn't have done that!"
"Come on~ Kaito should drink too!" Luka complained.
I felt dizzy. Meiko looked at me, "hmm? Are you out already?"
This is the worst… I looked at Kaito, help me~ I hugged Kaito, "Sempai~ I feel all dizzy! Help me, Sempai~"
"Yuma-kun! Are you ok?" Kaito panicked, "you should go to rest!" Kaito dragged me into my room and put me in my bed.
"Sowwy~" I laughed.
"Meiko-nee always does this!" Kaito complained.
"It's ok~" I grabbed Kaito's wrist and pulled him into my bed. I hugged him tightly, "Sempai~"
"Yuma-kun…" Kaito sighed, "and it was only one shot…"
My mind was fuzzy. I didn't know what I was doing, "Kaito…"
Kaito flinched hearing his name, "Yuma-kun?" He turned his body towards me, "are you ok?"
I shook my head, "I'm tired…"
"Then you should go to sleep. You'll feel better when you wake up," Kaito began explaining.
"Kaito…"
"Yes?" Kaito smiled at me.
"... I love you…" I mumbled. This line, I could hear myself say. My face went red.
Kaito blushed, "i-is that right?"
"Kaito…" I hugged him tightly, "please marry me…"
Kaito went silent. His eyes were wide open in shock and embarrassment. I felt embarrassed on the inside as well. What am I going to do when I become not drunk? On the inside, I was crying…
A/N: I'm sorry.. I wanted it to be a bit longer, like 3 chapters maybe, but I was busy! So I had to kinda squish all my ideas into this one chapter! So it might be a bit quick... I am stating school in like, a few days, so it will be hard to post frequently. I hope you will all understand. But I will post some chapters eventually.
GOOD NEWS! As you see~ There is kind of a hint of a continuation thing~ I'm not too sure, but, let's see what my mind comes up with!
