"Come on Daryl! Let's have a go at th-" Tsugumi was interrupted by a huge booming voice which resonated throughout the school grounds. It turned out to be the megaphone centred next to the stage.

"It is now 8 o'clock; please can all visitors make their way home. Also, can all student leaders make their way to the student council room. Thank you."

Tsugumi looked up at Daryl with forgiving eyes, almost on the verge of tears. "Sorry Daryl, looks like both of us have to go. I had a lot of fun today…" Tsugumi turned her head away so that Daryl couldn't see her tears, although it didn't really help.

"Tsugumi… are you crying?" Daryl muttered.

"I'm not crying!" she lied. "We only just met today, why would I be sad? Anyway, I need to go…" Tsugumi started to walk off, but Daryl grabbed her by the wrist.

"Do you want to stay in contact? You know, so we can, like, stay friends?" he said, a hot flush growing over his cheeks as he said it.

Tsugumi brightened up almost immediately, and replied with a happy "Yeah!"

"Now you have my phone number and I have yours. I'll text you when I finish the meeting, okay?" Tsugumi said joyfully.

"Okay," Daryl replied, half-heartedly.

"Don't look so gloomy, it'll be over in a few minutes!"

"That's not it! It's something else…"

"Then what is it?" Tsugumi looked up at his face with curiosity, but she soon noticed the silence he was giving meant he didn't want to say. So she said: "Never mind. Just text me later about it! I got to go now, bye!"

Yet, before she could start to walk away again, Daryl reached out and took her hand. Tsugumi slightly blushed at the gesture, but Daryl then started taking her away from the school.

"Oi, wait! I have a meeting to get to!" she exclaimed.

"That can wait, this is more important!" Daryl shouted, a bit louder than intended.

They kept on walking until they reached a dark area, just outside of the school, where no one was. Daryl then pushed Tsugumi against the wall, and also putting his hands on the wall as well to stop her from escaping.

"What the heck are you doing? I've kept saying to you that I need to go to a meeting, and I will be in trouble if I'm late!" Tsugumi yelled. But as soon as she finished, she realized the position she was in, and started blushing like mad.

Ignoring Tsugumi's question, he said quietly "I need to ask you something."

"W-what?"

Daryl went slightly red himself, and asked "Do you love me?"

Hehe, I'm going to keep it on a cliff hanger, and you're all going to have to wait till I update before you can find out what happens next!

This is one of the longest chapters I've done for Inabilities, so I hope you all like it!
