Unlike all other airport arrivals, this one has been different since there is no one to pick him up. Not that he minds though, actually that would be the least thing he wanted. Especially that he had come unprepared, literally and emotionally.

It was nearly midnight. He entered a cab that will take him to his hotel which was arranged by school for him,. He made himself comfortable in the back seat, positioning himself a little closer to the window as he gazes at the colorful lights decorating the city. Billboards and banners with international artists and Chinese calligraphies were all over the place, indicating him that he is indeed in a foreign country. Away from home. Away from his heart.

"Saki, you know I can't leave now Shingyouji he.." he said, trying not to stutter and his lips his trembling but he doesn't care. All he know is that he won't have to be anywhere but here. He doesn't want to go missing when Shingyouji comes back.

Gii sighed and inched closer to Misu, patting him on his shoulder, he knew he was never the one his rival would ran into when he got problems like this, or when he's very down. More often than not, he'll be the last one to know whatever the trouble is. He won't blame him though.

"Saki please, Shingyouji… Shingyouji…"

"Misu listen to me." He started. "I know it's tough, you've been having a really hard time and as much as I want to help you, I don't know. I would always want to see you happy and I know you have pressing matters to discuss with Shingyouji but Misu… you need to go for now."

"You could still see Shingyouji, talk to him. But now, you need to go. This is not just about the school it's your future as well."

"I know I had pained you so much Saki."

"I know but, let's say this is the interest of what you had done for me before." His rival smiled at him.

He felt a little comfort upon the feeling of the soft mattress against his back. Yet he knows better that there won't be any sort of console that could make him feel well again, aside from a certain Shingyouji who completely holds his heart. Just when will all these trials end, he doesn't know. A part of him already wants to give up, but they've already come this far to give it all away just like that. Quitting should never be an option. If only things weren't this hard.

He let his body succumb him to sleep, hoping tomorrow will offer a brighter day. But who is he kidding? The vivid morn is out of his reach. Misu can only find the sunshine and happiness when he's with the younger man.

Stupid.

Cursing has never been his thing. But now he had already lost count on how many time did he scolded himself inwardly for being utterly stupid.

Shingyouji is looking for his bag how can he forget some important things he was planning to prepare something but out of excitement he forgot them and now he need to start from sratch again but he would no longer care, he had already arrived and he need to do what he has to.

"Senpai, please?"

"…"

"Senpai!" he whined and tugged his Akaike-senpai's arm. Takumi then joined in tugged his friend's arm.

"Akaike-kun, just let him be." He asked, the face of a charming angle coming out right when he need it too.

"B-but…"

"Akaike-kun! I'm gonna help you carry your books, and I'll cook everything you want even buy you snacks just let him go!" Toshihisa mattered as he kneeled in front of him. Akaike looked at his other friend, then to the his best friend's lover in his left, to the pouting Shinyouji in his right. Across his room, the all of them throwing pleading looks, waiting for his decision and hoping it'll be the one they're wishing for.

If the situation would have been different, he might have been laughing now. This is by far, the oddest and undeniably absurd thing that has happened to him in his History as a Discipline head in Shidou. His friends, all of them practically begging him with their pretty beseeching eyes, waiting for his verdict. But of course, as much as he's strangely enjoying the entreat on their faces towards him that only happen once in a blue moon, he understands why they are all like this, the guy on his right in particular. And he knows he has to make the decision now before they all decide to make him agree by force, and that will be the last thing he wanted. So with one dramatic sigh he faced Shingyouji.

"Alright but just for one day. We will cover you up, but remember, just for one day. You'll have to be back the next day, well I guess we can ask Saki about your ticket."

"Well here it is got it all prepared." Saki suddenly appearing in front of them.

"Shouzo, you're making Shingyouji cry."

"Saki-senpai I…"

"No need to thank us, and uhh… welcome back Shingyouji." Akaike said looking at his best friend.

He wanted to tear up, but he guesses he would save it when they were all there along with Misu to officially welcome the boy-who-had-his-memory lost-and-found back.

And that night, Akaike almost had himself suffocated with the tight hug his friends given him.

He is now looking for some cab but he is unfortunate that all of them had been taken suddenly a car honked and Shingyouji found a guy waving at him. He beamed at him knowing who the guy suddenly saw some girls also running in his direction.

It was the violin prodigy and Saki's friend Inoue Sachi.

"Daijoubu desu ka?"

"H-hai." He replied

"I received a message from Gii, and I know the hotel he's currently staying at, currently he's not there as he is attending his seminar according to one of the receptionist there." He reported and Shingyouji grinned.

"A-arigatou."

Sachi smiled, he's still wondering what's with the sudden call and visit from Shingyouji was all about but he knows he is in for something interesting.

"And by the way…" Sachi called again as Shingyouji looked at him.

"What?" he asked.

"Welcome to Taiwan."

"Ah, you're in there already? Oh okay. Do your best! I'll be cheering for you in here. Hmm okay. You take care my dear kouhai. Win your love back! Ganbarre!"

A disconnected dial tone was heard and a faint smile crossed over his lips. He stayed like that for a few seconds be fore he place his phone back in his pocket, enveloping hisself in his own arm as he breathes in the morning scent. He watched the little kids play around the area, happily playing tag with each other, laughing their hearts out as they trail one another.

"You know… you could have won him over if you wanted to. He seems to love you." It was Sagara-senpai friend who seem to decide to accompany him.

Ikuta smiled a little. "Maybe,but I think that would just be temporarily. His mind tells him he likes me, but along the way his heart will have him realize whom he truly yearns for."

"But still…" He wanted to reason out more. His new friend is hurting , even if he never voiced out loud. He already knew the fact that Ikuta feels something for Shingyouji too. He knew he does.

"No, they are meant to be, he answered, his eyes starting to get misty as he tried to stop the tears from spilling. "And besides… to help them get back in each other's arms is the least I could do… " he said, his voice shaking. Sagra decied that right now Ikuta needs is comfort and he is willing to give him that.

This isn't happening .

Shingyouji watched as the entire place got drenched from the sudden heavy rain. He looked at the table set with a candle light dinner in the middle, the flowers on its centre table had its petal withering due to vast amount of water, the table clothe is nothing but wet. On the left stood a wall sized banner of a big heart, with "MisuShin Forever" written in English courtesy of Sachi. It was all soaked up too, the red paint he had put on it earlier that day smearing the whole banner, turning it into a one giant mess.

He doesn't understand why it had suddenly rained; it was very very bright and sunny just this morning! And so is the morning why he decided to make his little confession in an open area, and because everything had been a rush, it's the best place they could find. He and Sachi and some friends actually spent the entire day decorating the place, a small garden in a quite secluded but fine restaurant. Sachi is actually clueless but since Gii told him that it's important for Shingyouji he helped with all his heart now he is now asking the young man to go inside before he catch a fever due to being soaked from the rain.

"Shingyouji-kun, let's go inside…" Sachi asked, tugging Shingyouji's wet arm as he placed an umbrella over him although he's already wet.

"This ain't happening." Shingyouji whispered, more to himself, as he fought the urge to cry. But the tears spilled on anyway.

Thirty minutes before seven in the evening, Misu is thankful that his schedule for the day ended earlier than he expected. Due to the abrupt profound rain outside, which he found rather weird since it's been too clear this morning; his last two schedules had been cancel, resulting for the program to end. He reached his hotel room and threw his cot on the floor, loosing his necktie around his collar before slouching himself lazily on the couch. He stretched his neck a little, holding on to his nape and heaving a deep sigh, indicating how tired he is.

He rested the back of his neck on the couch's back-rest, closing eyes in weary. He lifted his legs to place it over the centre table when he heard something clanked, like something hit the floor. He open one of his eyes and saw a paper under his leg, that one he had managed to successfully placed over the table before he heard the clatter. He frowned, did someone left him something while he was gone? He then remembered the receptionist telling him earlier before he went to his room that someone had package for him. This must be it.

He wanted to ignore it but curiosity, for some reasons, instinct had told him to scrutinize it, and so he did. He sat up straight and get the paper, unfolding it and just when he's about to read the contents, he felt a rectangular thing under his foot. He looked for it and found a case, with a disk in it. He picked it up and frowned even more, is this package for him too? Well probably. He didn't remember bringing a CD.

He placed the CD over the table and resumed on reading the paper. On it header, two words greeted him in big bold letters.
