Chapter sixteen: When we talk.

Kyami ran down the long quiet hallways of the Inn, she whispered yelled back at T'suki at how much of a slow-poke he is.

"I AM NOT!" he whisper-yelled back, running faster.

"RIGHT!" Kyami said, suddenly turning right.

"W-Whoa…!" T'suki said shuffling to turn.

He laughed at himself, 'why am I doing this?' he thought as he kept his past.
He looked up ahead at Kyami who looked back and laughed at him.

When he caught up to her, she was leaned over on her knee's catching her breath, he did the same.

"S-So…*huff* o-out…side?" he wheezed.

"Yeah…" she said back, heading for the stairs.

They walked outside, breathing in the fresh cold air. It wasn't "cold" per-say; it was more chilling, well at least to them because of all that running.

"So," Kyami breathed, "which way, four-eyes?" she smirked up at him.

He slightly glared at the tiny person, "forward." He said.

"OFF WE GO THEN!" she said marching forward.

They walked and walked in silence, until they came to a bridge, Kyami stepped up on the railing that over looked the tiny river under it.

"wow." She gapped, staring at the sparkly water with the moons reflection in it, below her.

"Yeah?" T'suki leaned on the railing, no need to step on it for he was tall enough.
"You've never seen water like this?"

"Nope." She shook her head, "it's nice to look at though."

"Yeah." He glanced at her from the corner of his eye.

Some of her hair was sticking out at the end of her beanie and her bangs fell out also. Her eyes seemed to sparkle just like the water to T'suki, it was nice.

"So," Kyami started, making him look away out of reflex. "What was that?"

"Huh?" He turned his head completely at her.

"On the phone…with your mom?" Kyami asked.

"Oh." T'suki sighed and shoved his hands into his pockets, "That."

"Yeah, what was that whole "applying" thing about, a job?"

T'suki looked her in the eye, "a bit nosy aren't we?" he said, almost smiling at her reaction of an overdramatic shrug.
"Well," he started, "my grades are pretty much excellent, and they tested me a few weeks ago in some University courses, and I apparently do better than the top University student."

"That's good, isn't it!?" Kyami exclaimed, scaring T'suki with her sudden outburst.

"W-Well, yeah, I guess…" he sighed again, "But, I don't want to leave to Tsukuba."

Kyami stared at him, she understood that feeling.

"Oh. That far, huh?"

"Yep. University of Tsukuba, some of the best STEMM schools out there."

"W-Well, maybe you could apply somewhere closer?" She asked.

"I totally would, but my dad is determined to get me into some of Japans' highest Universities out there, and everywhere close to home…are just some of the lowest." He finished, staring at the water.

"Hey," Kyami said, he looked at her, "why are you worrying about that NOW? You're only a 2nd year, like me."

"Yeah you see that's the thing."

"I'm not following." Kyami said her eyes and mouth making a fine line.

"Well, with the fact that my grades are some of the best in this prefecture, for a 2nd year too, are one of the reasons why my dad is making me apply to the top universities early. He's hoping one of them might pick me up before I graduate High school." T'suki explained.

"Ohh~" she sang.

"Well?" T'suki was expecting some sort of reply.

"Um…how about…" she bit her lip before saying with the most straight face ever: "That's rough, buddy."

T'suki slapped his forehead with his hand, "Useless…" he mumbled.

Kyami laughed and nudged his side with her elbow as she walked pass him.

"So, what about you?" he asked as they walked.

"What about me?"

"What are your plans for your future?"

Kyami started walking on the rows of rocks, struggling to balance her bodyweight.
"Well," she leaned too much to one side, but caught herself, "I really don't know."

"That's expected of you." T'suki said with no emotion as he followed her on the safe path.

"Haha. But no, I'm serious! I'm just going to do…." She jumped on a big rock and stood tall swinging her arms out to the sides like a bird, "WHATEVER GOD HAS PLANNED!" she yelled into the night sky.

She turned around to look at T'suki, who was in awe at her little gesture.
She jumped down from her tall stature.

"What?"

"N-Nothing…" T'suki stuttered.

"Well, let's get this straight." She grabbed his hand and pointed with it to the stars, "You could either take a safe path." She pointed it towards a straight line of stars, "Or…you could take the daring path that sends you storms to overcome; a path that you are not familiar with." She pointed to a wild clump of stars.

T'suki stared at the stars, his eyes wide with anticipation. He was so focused on looking for a "path" that he didn't realize that, even though their hands were by their sides, he didn't notice that they were now intertwined, and neither did Kyami.

"And, by the time I graduate I'll be eighteen, so, I can choose whatever path I want to." She turned her head completely to face T'suki, and she smiled, bigger than she ever had before. "And you can too!" she then released their hands and ran forward jumping back on the rock.

"What are you doing now?" T'suki followed her.

"Come up here." She demanded.

T'suki groaned and climbed up next to her.

"Okay, do you promise, to overcome anything God throws at you?"

T'suki paused for a moment then answered, "Yes. I do."

Kyami smiled, she turned around and looked into the sky, she raised her hands up to her frame her mouth and she yelled at the top of her lungs,

"YOU HEAR THAT! COME AT US WITH ALL YOU GOT!"

She turned back to face T'suki grabbed his hand and jumped back down form the rock.

"W-Where are we going now?" T'suki stuttered as he ran with Kyami down the moonlit path.

"BACK TO THE INN!" she yelled, "Have you seen what time it is?!"

T'suki fumbled to get his phone open but gasped when he saw what time it was.

She was right, back to the inn indeed.

Kyami walked T'suki back to the boys' room, both of their cheeks flushed with red form all that running, yelling and just from being around each other.

"Okay here it is." Kyami said pointing to the door to his room.

"Y-Yeah." T'suki said awkwardly.

They stood there in silence, neither of them dared to look the other in the eye. Even though the atmosphere around them was a bit "Awkward" it was a nice atmosphere.

"S-So, goodnight then…?" Kyami said in more of a question.

"Y-Yeah." T'suki nodded as their eyes met.

Then they both chuckled at themselves.

"Okay, night then." She said turning to walk back to her bedroom.

"K-Ky…!" T'suki said right before she turned the corner.

She looked at him, his eyes still filled with a wild flame, she smiled.

"Thanks for the talk." He finished, and walked into the room.

Kyami smiled and went on her way.
Her heart was still beating fast as if she was still running with T'suki.

'His hand…' she looked at her hand that held his, 'was intertwined with mine…!'
She mentally slapped herself, as she felt her face grow red.

She got to her room and turned the key open and was about to go in when she was stopped by footsteps.

"Hey." She turned around to see Tanaka slowing down his pace.

"Hey." She said back making him stop completely.

"So, where have you been?" he asked an eyebrow up.

"What?" she said pulling off her beanie.

"I heard some running outside our door, and when I looked I saw T'suki and you turn the corner."

"Oh?" she leaned against her doorway.

"Yeah, so I waited down in the kitchen but you guys were gone for a pretty good hour." Tanaka put his hands on his hips, "So, you two did a 'lil hanky-panky, huh?"

Kyami's face grew red within a millisecond; she clenched her fists, "WE DID NOT DO ANY OF THE SORT!"

Tanaka leaned backward as a full laugh left his mouth.

"W-We just…talked, that's all." She said after calming.

"Talked?"

"Yeah, talked, Tanaka." She said a bit harshly, "It's what normal people do when they need advice."

"Kyami." Tanaka said quietly, but seriously.

"Yeah?" She looked up at him her eyes filled with concern.

"Be careful-"

"OH MY GOD, Tanaka! I KNO-"

"NO, you don't know!" Tanaka shot back at her, "You don't know what'll happen if HE finds out! He'll TELL the school board and the school will kick you out! Then you'll have to go live with your mom in AMERICA, and have to leave the home you made here!"

Kyami stared at him, her eyes wide with his sudden burst.

"A-And…I don't want you to leave." He finished softly.

"O-Okay." Kyami said to his surprise. "I won't try to get any closer…to…T'suki." She looked down at the ground, and curled her toes together.

"…Good." Tanaka reached forward and ruffled the top of her head, "Night." And he walked off.

"Night." She whispered about to close her door when she heard his footsteps stop, she looked down at him.

He was half turned towards her and half in the direction of his room, "And Kyami, why not keep your eyes open for someone else, okay?"

"Okay." And with that she closed the door and drifted into her sleep.

The morning breakfast was big and fattening as most might say.

The boys all slept in until twelve, even Kyami.

But as much as they hated it, they really did have to leave, Daichi and Suga made them pack up quickly.

"Thank you for letting us stay!" the boys all said in unison bowing at Suga's smiling Aunt.

"Okay boys, in the bus we go! Azumane, you're driving!" Daichi said throwing the keys at Azumane.

"Yeah, please do drive." Shoyo started,
"Yeah~ we don't want Daichi to drive and kill us all, Haha." Tobio finished making everyone laughed.

"Don't joke like that." Suga said shuddering with just the thought of Daichi driving again.

"Okay! Everyone ready?" Azumane shouted to the back.

"HAI!~" the boys sang as Azumane pulled out of the parking lot.

After about a long four hours of complaining boys and loud singing the bus ride back to Karasuno was over.

The second Azumane opened the bus doors, the whole team kinda…fell out…in a way. Like they all piled up to the door and just…fell off.

Shoyo and Yu both laid face first in the dirt not bothering to get up, that is until Tanka and Tobio walked over and pulled at the half dead boys.

Yamaguchi and T'suki walked off the bus, Yamaguchi holding onto T'suki like a new born baby.

"Get off Yamaguchi." T'suki said throwing the poor boy off him and pulling out his phone from his pocket.

"O-Okay." Yamaguchi said, blushing a bit, "what you doin'?"

"Calling to see if my mom can pick me up." T'suki said as he dialed her number, "Hey mom."
A pause.

"Yeah, we just got to the high school."

Another.

"Oh…wow, okay. Yeah, I'll see if I can get a ride back."

Daichi and Suga walked up to the boys.

"Y-Yeah, okay, I'll see if I can get a ride home. Bye love you too."
T'suki hung up the phone.

"Need a ride?" Suga asked, hands on his hips.

"Yeah, Yamaguchi and I both do, our parents went on a big trip down to the hot springs together."

"WHAAA?!" Yamaguchi exclaimed, "I didn't know that…"

"That's because," T'suki picked his bag up, "your parents don't like you." He said with a straight face walking to Daichi's car.

"Mean…" Yamaguchi mumbled picking up his bag and tossing it in the back of Daichi's car.

"Okay, Ky." Daichi yelled at Kyami who was about to join Shoyo and Yu on the ground.

"Huh?" she asked sleepily.

"Let's go." Daichi said motioning to the car as T'suki and Yamaguchi got in.

"O-Okay." She said trying to trip while wobbly walking to the car.

The car ride was a bit awkward with Yamaguchi in the middle of T'suki and Kyami who didn't dare to look at each other.

'There is a…tense, atmosphere right now.' T'suki thought glancing from side to side at the two.

"Oi." T'suki said getting ahold of Suga (who was driving) "Here is my house."

"Okay~" Suga sang stopping the car.

"Ky, help them with their bags." Daichi said- more like ordered her to do.

Kyami did what she was told, when she got to the trunk T'suki and her reached for the same bag, and their hands brushed making both of their faces bright red.

"I-I-I-I got it." He mumbled pausing before he grabbed the whole bag.

"Oh…okay." Kyami said reaching for another bag and then following him up the path way to his house.

T'suki's house was a big two-story house, with a deep walk way up to the door, covered by trees'.

"You can drop them here." T'suki said unlocking the door and letting the over-joyed Yamaguchi into the house.

Kyami put the bags down, and T'suki grabbed them and set them inside the house.

It was quiet as they both looked down at the ground not knowing what words to exchange.

"H-Hey." He started, making Kyami's head snap up and her eyes gaze into his golden eyes. "Thanks, again, for last night."

"Haha, more like EARLY this morning." Kyami snorted at herself, she has a habit of making herself laugh more than others.

But she got T'suki to chuckle. "Hah! Yeah…"

"Uh. T'suki, I also want to thank you." She said just above a whisper.

"Eh?" he was confused.

"I-I want to thank you…for also talking to be last night…" she paused, "believe it or not, I really needed that." She smiled.

T'suki's eyes widened, "Y-Yeah, n-no problem." He said back staring into her eyes.

"And just…" she took a deep breath, "THANKS FOR BEING HERE. With me…!" Kyami quickly realized what she said; she quickly shoved her hand up to her mouth. But she only HALF regretted what she said.

It was a while before anyone said anything.
Kyami, had her hand over her mouth, her face deep red trying not to look back into T'suki's deep stare, and T'suki; was trying not to let HIS face get just as red.

"I, um….got to go." Kyami said truing around quickly about to sprint away.

"Wait!"

Kyami felt a firm hand on her wrist. She turned to face T'suki who wasn't looking in her eyes at all.

"I…I know this…i-isnt right, but…" Kyami's eyes widened as she watched his face come closer.

'Ohhhhh noooo….' One part of her mind said and the other part said: 'come a 'lil !' closer baby'
NOTE: she hated that part of her mind.

Then within a millisecond the gap between the two was closed by T'suki pressing his lips to hers; his eyes closed tight.

Kyami's eyes widened as she felt herself become warm inside and her face brighten, but the sensation was gone when T'suki suddenly turned away saying something about "see you later" and closed the door.

Kyami just stood there, her eyes still wide but something about her shock was different. For once, she was smiling, even though, she felt like she could cry.

'D-D-Does this mean that…hes….IM in…Love!?'
