A/N : Heheh, I have a little promise with my friend with some chit-chat. So, here is it.

Enjoy friends!

Chapter 10

Light

Takeru had already known Hikari when he was still eight.

So did Hikari.

Getting a ridiculous, hilarious, and unforgettable journey.

The two of them were the youngest in the group, and it was obvious that they were still too young to had a battle.

However, thanks to their partner, they could help save the world.

Luckily, the peace had already spread all around the world, so they didn't need to fight again.

But, that didn't mean Hikari wouldn't mind her past.

It's true that it's unforgettable, but it was a little exaggerating when she remembered it all of her days.

She had always wondered when she was alone.

Did she was a good friend?

Did she always be there for her friends?

Did she always soothe her friends when they were troubled?

Ton of question kept popping along with her free space of time.

It usually ended when she clenched her fist lightly and braced herself that she'd already tried her best.

Because Daisuke was going out with Ken looking for the newest game, only Hikari that could present in Takeru's apartment. Miyako was busy on her new project, as always, and Iori politely refused because he had no idea what he wanted to do there.

She brought a few books in her backpack, that she planned to do some homeworks with him.

Everything went smooth, and the only sound that could be heard were Takeru's explanation and Hikari's mumble of 'yes' or 'so that's it'.

Not having Daisuke around was a really huge void between the group. After all, that goggle-boy was always opened up a topic first before Takeru could add his comment and Hikari giggled when the two of them started to have a litte controversion.

Remained silent, Hikari gazed at her book, and wrote down the answer for her homework.

Takeru wasn't feeling bad nor good. It was something usual when he spent his time with Hikari. They had already gone through lot of things together for a long time, so it seemed that no one can break them apart.

He was now looking at the brunette girl that was writing exactly what he had said.

The blond started to have suspicious on her. Hikari wasn't a type like Daisuke. When the answer was present on the book, she would rather work it for herself. But this time, she seemed too lazy to work it by herself.

"What's wrong, Hikari?" he suddenly asked and the girl gasped.

"W-what did you mean, Takeru?" she baffled before inhale a deep breath, trying to be calm.

Takeru laughed lightly at her reaction. He then coughed.

"No, it just that it you aren't you today," he pointed out as he closed her book slowly.

Hikari made no comment when Takeru took the pen that was in her hand.

"So, mind if you share it with me?" Takeru said softly as he sat in front of her.

Close.

She sighed, before planted a fake smile on her face.

"I'm okay Takeru," she lied, but Takeru laughed at her.

"Hikari, we have been together more than a year, and I know well when you were hiding something," his cerulean eyes were watching her carefully and he grew silent to gave her a space for explaining.

Hikari, once again sighed.

"I don't know. Everytime I'm alone, I feel that I'm not good enough for everyone…" she started, and Takeru startled by his friend words.

"W-what did you say? How could you have a mind like that?" he frantically asked, hoping that Hikari was just kidding.

"I'm serious, Takeru," she frowned, before looking down and continued.

"Say, am I a good friend for you?" she asked, deep in tone. Takeru couldn't answer that question. She's always nice for him, but she's more than a friend.

"I can't say yes," he finally said, smiling all the way.

Hikari couldn't believe her hearing. Takeru, replied no?

All of sudden, she sobbed and tried hard to hold her tears.

And all of sudden too, a comforting squeeze on her shoulder made her shifted her gaze upward, and saw Takeru with an unusual smile.

A warm, and comforting smile.

Was that an unusual, or she had just realized that the blond carried all the thing that could comfort her?

"Hey," Takeru started, and she looked at his eyes deeply.

"I can't say that you're a good friend,…" he said as he gently stroke her hair.

"…because for me, you're more than a friend," he moved backward, and smiled again at her.

"You're the best person I've ever had around! With you, I'll always feel happy. When you're sad, I'll be sad too. When you're not around, I'm worrying who will be around to protect you. It's not that simple Hikari!" Takeru exclaimed, explaining all that she meant in his life.

Hikari timidly smiled. She got flattered, but at the same time the truth about her presence in his life.

"Please, just promise me that we're be together as long as we can," he stuck his hand out, offering a hand shake.

The child of light was almost laughed in joy, before punching the blond's shoulder lightly. He laughed too, and she took his hand before squeeze it lightly.

"Understand now, Hikari?" he teased, earning a playful glare from her.

"With this, I'll have no doubt again,... Takeru," she smiled, widely, having her precious moment of happiness in her life.

An unforgettable one, definitely.
