=================================================================================
Chapter 9“Don’t cry….” Kai whispers to me as he still closes my eyes.
“I am here….”he attaches his body against wall, and he is right behind me. “Please, don’t cry… I can’t see you cry, I can’t see you sad.”he moves his hand down and I open my eyes slowly. Although this heart hurt, but for Kai, I try not to cry. He then puts his hand around my neck from behind, he wraps it so tight…. I can feel his body’s temperature, his arms are warm…. I close my eyes, and without thinking I hold his arms, and won’t release it… I want this gentle arms always hug me tightly like this. I can feel Kai’s heart beat, it’s so fast.
Kai walks me home. I am happy as he is not walking behind me anymore. He walks beside me and…….holds my hand. He asked me, “Are you cold?” when I shook my head, maybe he knew I was lying, then he reached my hand and held it.
“You can’t lie to me. See? Your hand is cold.” He says as he holds my hand and gives his warm temper to me.
I know it’s complicated. I don’t want Kai hopes for something that he might not get, I don’t want to hurt him more than this, but…..honestly, I want him to stay here with me always. I don’t want him to go and leave me alone…. I can’t give love to him, I think. I don’t understand, I am confused…. I need time to think…. Alone.
As he holds my left hand and put it inside his jacket. I feel warm.
“Many times you have come to me….” I break the silence.
“Oh really?”Kai keeps walking and he doesn’t look at me.
“Uhum… I keep telling myself I am such a burden to you….”
“No…” he stops and turning his view to me.
“Do not ever say that. I can do everything for you. Across the ocean, even jump from a mountain I’ll do it for you. As long as you are happy…”
“Hee?? Jumping from a mountain??” His words form a small smile on my face.
“Yes. What’s wrong?”
“No….It’s just…..Hmfphh…” I try to hold my laugh.
“Hey!! Don’t laugh! I am serious with my words…. Ck.”
“Okay, Kai. Sorry….” Then I see his half-annoyed face. Hihihi…. He is very funny. I can feel his warm hand is holding my left hand inside his jacket. The warmness even I can feel it through my body until it reaches my heart. Care that he always shows me makes his presence is so precious to me. His firm body, looks so strong. Then, I rest my head on his arm……
“Thank you so much Kai…..” I close my eyes, feel his scent. I know he is surprised as he doesn’t say anything to me. I smile inside my heart. How funny Kai is right now.
And then we have already arrived in front of my house.
“Thank you…. And sorry If I trouble you….”
“My pleasure and you never trouble me Atsuko….” He smiles. Something gets in to my heart when I see his smile. It’s really confusing and not long my heart starts beating so fast…. I feel my cheek is redden, the smile he gives me even makes me feel more comfortable.
“Good bye Atsuko…. See you tomorrow….” He waves his hand at me and walks away.
WAIT. I scream inside, in part of my heart still need you here. I don’t want you to leave me now… But my body won’t react, won’t move, even my mouth can’t call your name to make you stop…. I bite my lower lips confused with what I should do…. Then my body moves by its own… I grab your hand and you turn back as I am standing behind you right now. You look at me confuse as you raise one of your eyebrow up. When you are about to speak, suddenly……and without thinking I kiss your cheek. A short kiss has planned on your right cheek. You keep looking at me and put your hand on the area that I’ve just kissed on. I can see your surprising look and I am surprised myself too… I don’t understand what bring me to kiss you… But I don’t regret it….
“At-Atsuko….” Kai keeps blinking and those words are the only words coming from your mouth.
“Thank you, Kai for today….” I am so shy as I can’t see his face properly. I look away but for once I look at him…….
“Aaa….Hm….yaa~” stutter Kai. He is really funny today… He keeps rubbing his cheek as he is leaving...
I smile to myself as I see him get farther until I can’t see him anymore.
I put my hand on my lips. Why did I kiss him?? I want to find out the reason but look like I can’t. I come back smile again and walk to the door, open it and have some rests.
“Ohayoo Kai….” I approach Kai. He is sitting on his seat.
“O-ohayoo, Atsuko….” He wants to hide his blush face. Hihi… so funny… I love seeing him like that…
“Ah, have you had your breakfast?”
“W-why?”
“Hmm… I made it for you actually. My mom helped me this morning. Hope you like it….” I smile as I give him a small box. He takes it and puts it on his table.
“San-sankyuu…..” Then he remains quite.
“What happened, Kai? You are not like the usual you….”
“Hee?? I am………….” Then he looks away. I move closer to him and whisper something to him.
“Masaka….you still think about yesterday kiss don’t you??”
“Eh!!” Kai then turns quickly. I laugh by his expression….
“You made my day, Kai. Hahaha….” I laugh as I walk to my desk. Kai is really funny. OMG. I can’t stop saying that in my mind.
Now we are having our break time. I sit in the class while the other are having their lunch. I read my book as Kai approaches me.
“What’s up?” I ask him..
“Hmm…. Thanks for the food.” He hands the box just I gave him.
“Oh, was it good?” I ask him as I take it.
“It was……really good. I doubt if it was made by you…” he chuckles.
“I did!! Ugh….” I pout…. But he still laughs. Without realizing it, I laugh as well.
“Ehm…. Ano….” Kai rubs his neck as he looks away..
“Ehm? What is it??”
“This evening………4pm……..Park Tower…….” Then he walks away. I tilt my head. This evening? 4pm? Park Tower?? What did he mean?? Did he ask me to go out this evening?? Hmpffh…..how funny!! He talked like a robot just know…..
Returning home, I go to my room…. I place my bag on my desk and I open my wardrobe. Looking for good one piece for this evening…. I should wear a cute dress… Chotto matte?? Why am I happy?? The feeling is like when I have my first date…. Speaking about first date, it makes me remind of Tomo. I shake my head… I must not have to think about hi anymore. Don’t let him appear anymore…. Yosh!! I just chose my dress for this evening and place it on my bed. I smile while I am seeing at my dress as I’ll be so cute when I put them on. I go to my bathroom and have myself prepared.
I come right on time at park. I guess, Kai has not been there….. But I am wrong. He’s already there… I smile at myself and look at him from a distance. I think he knows about my existence as he turns his view and looks at me. He smiles to me and he is waving to me. I reply his waving as I run to him.
“Sorry for waiting…” I said.
“No… I just came.”
“Oh really?? I think I am the one who comes on time, but not expected you are already here…..”I pull out my tongue bit.
“No! I just…..I just came!!”
“Ohm….Nerveous?” I chuckle.
“No I am not! Okay…..let’s go!” as he tries to hide his red face, he grabs my hand and leads me somewhere. Kai is so funny. I don’t have idea where he would take me to.
We arrive in front of a big building and its written “Game Center”.
“Yosh!! Let’s have fun here….”
He sounds so happy…. I……can’t believe it he takes me here. It’s game center after all…. I don’t understand what he thinks… He should take me to somewhere as long as it’s not something kiddy like here….
I don’t give any response and he looks at me, “What is it Atsuko? You don’t like it?”
“Ah….no…..I like it. Hehe….” Force myself to lie. I don’t want to make him disappointed. I am sure he has arranged this before and I should make him happy now because he has made me so before.
After I answer he then smiles. He approaches me and holds my hand. “You won’t get lost.” He says as he keeps walking. Kai is so sweet….
We are playing basketball mini, car racing, shooting alien, and so on.
Its really fun. I can feel myself so happy today. I can laugh so hard, smile which is really smile from my heart. Thank you Kai.
Next he takes me to the small park near game center. This place is really crowded, not only family but also young couples. Somehow I get blushed… It’s suddenly becoming so hot around here.
“Ah… It’s really unexpected.” Said Kai. “I am sorry… Lets go to another place.”
I look at Kai. I think he has prepared this long before and I can see his force smile and disappointed face. I admit that this place is really nice. There are some fountains and benches. The scenery is really nice. So many flowers planted here.
“It’s okay Kai. Let’s sit somewhere…”I smile to him. Then he nods and leads me somewhere at park. And then we sit on the nearest bench near fountain.
“Wow..Its my first time coming here.” I say.
“Eh?? Really??”
“Yup… Thanks.”
He then looks away. Fufu…funny. I can see his shy face there. Kai is so funny….
“Nee obachan, look at that neechan… She is really pretty…. I want to be like her…”said a little kid that just passed in front of us. She is holding hands with her grandmother.
“Ah, sou desu ne… Mako-chan wants to be like her?”
“Yes obachan! and have cool boyfriend like she does.” Then they are both laughing and they disappear.
I blink. I can accept when she said, I am pretty, but….having a cool boyfriend? Did he mean, Kai? Maji? We are not even dating…. But somehow I feel happy. I am happy when someone sees us and recognize us as a couple. I don’t know how Kai will response this.
“Haha…what did she talk about? We are just friends, kid….” He said as looking at their backs.
Hmm….somehow I feel little bit disappointed with what Kai just said.
“Can you believe that? They said we were a couple…..hehe….”
I don’t give him any response. Did Kai forget about he liked me? I remember when he said he liked me…. Is it because I dated Tomo once then he didn’t like me anymore?? Buh… Kai is just like the other boys. What a playboy.
“Hey, Atsuko…. Do you listen to me?”
“What?” I say with cold tune.
“Hmm? What is it now? Are you mad?”
“No.”
“See…you are mad. What happened? Did I do anything wrong?”
“I said no…”
“Was it because what that little kid say? Oh please….It’s not funny.”
“Ck….” I get up from bench and walk away.
“Oi, Atsuko! Atsuko!!” He calls my name but I don’t stop my feet. I keep walking as he keeps chasing me then he could catch my arm.
“Why are you mad, Atsuko? Didn’t we want to have fun?”
He’s right. I can’t understand myself why I am mad at him. Duh….what have I done? Why should I be mad at him? Just because of what that little kid said? Does it mean…….I want it for real? I mean….that cool boyfriend’s part? I can’t believe it…
He is tighter his hand on mine…..
“Atsuko, gomen…..” those words make me turn back and face him.
“I make you dissatisfied today. I am sorry, I am useless…” He looks down and loosen his hand….
I bite my lower lips and feel guilty. “Kai…”I put my hand on his shoulder. “You don’t need to say sorry… It’s…..my fault. Sorry….”
“Atsuko…..”
We are in long pause…….. “I think…..you……..dontlikemeanymore.”
“Huh?” Kai raises one of his eyebrows. “I can’t hear you…..” as he moves his body closer to me.
“Ck…How come I repeat that sentence, BAKA!” I pout.
“Hei…why are you pouting?”
“Nothing.” I keep pouting and I turn my body around.
Kai baka!!! How could I repeat those sentences in front of you? No…no…no!! Huh….Kai is really slow! I hate you…
Suddenly I can feel his arms around my waist and he rests his head on my shoulder. I blink and surprised at the same time.
“Ka-Kai?”
“I heard you…..”
I could feel my head is really hot now. It likes the blood is going up and gathering inside my head. My cheek is slowly getting redder….
“I don’t know if my sentences make you angry. Its because all I know that……..my love for you is one sided love and never be replied.”
DEG….DEG….DEG…. Inside, my heart is racing in every sentence he says.
“One thing you should know, Atsuko….My love for you can’t be stopped. You are my everything….”
Why those sentences feel so deep? Deep and touch my heart….. The person that I used to hate so much in my life, now hugging me like this, confessing his true feeling, and becoming so important person now. Slowly I reach his hands on my waist and hold it.
“I won’t leave you alone Atsuko. I won’t make you feel sad, I will make you the happiest girl ever in this world. I am sure….”
“Thank you, Kai….” I smile. This is one of the best moments between me and Kai… I am glad Kai says those things toward me. Being loved by person like him, I must be lucky girl, right?
“So, Atsuko…..Would you be mine?”
He shoots right on my heart…but I think it’s the words that I am waiting for today…. With my heart beats, I slowly nod my head.
Yesterday was like a dream to me. No. Its not a dream. Receiving an email from my boyfriend, really makes my day so cheerful. I smile from I woke up until I am ready to go to school. I miss him already…. I leave for school so early.
In front of school gate I meet with Sakuraba, one of members in Karate Club. He is really nice person.
“Eh? So rare seeing you around this time.” Oh, Sakuraba is one of diligent students here.
“Hehe….I think I should come earlier today.” I smile to him.
“You will come to club after school, right?”
“Yes of course. I miss everybody.”
“Hoho…that’s nice.”
JDAK!!! I am surprised that someone hits Sakuraba’s head with wood. He falls to the ground.
“You think you cool huh?” I have never seen this guy at this school. Who is he?
“Tell me, where’s Tomo?”
Eh? He looks for Tomo?? What did Tomo do to him??
“A….Atsuko-san. R……run.” Sakuraba said. My body froze. I can’t move and yet he stares at me and holds my hands so tight.
“Araaa…..So you are Atsuko, right????”
“What do you mean from me? Let me off!!” I try to release my hand from his. But he is too strong and I can’t release it.
“Stay still, you stupid girl!!! And you!!” He shouts at the fallen Sakuraba. “Tell Tomo to meet me at the vacant building close here. If he doesn’t come, I’ll make sure he can’t see this girl alive!! You got me!!” He backs punching Sakuraba with wood that he carries along. And then, this person drags me and forces me to get inside his car.

“Wuff….I miss school.” Tomo sits on his chair.
“Wow....how is Tomomi-chan???” his friends approach Tomo’s seat.
“She’s fine. She will be back to school in some days.”
“That’s good! Btw….welco….”
“To….mo…..” everyone stares at the door and sees Sakuraba is there with blood on his head.
Sakuraba walks to the classroom with blood on his face.
“Sakuraba!!” Tomo and the others quickly help him.
“What happened? Who did this to you?? Oi someone, take something in infirmary to cure him!”
“Yosh!!” a boy is running to the infirmary.
“To….mo…..It’s bad.”
“Don’t talk!”
“Atsuko-san….”
“Eh??? Acchan?? What’s wrong with her? Oi, tell me Sakuraba!!!”
“Someone……..took her with him……He….asked me to tell you…..to……meet him.”
“What? Where???” Tomo is panic.
“Vacant building near……near school.”
“Kuso……” Tomo gets up and tells the other to take care of Sakuraba. He is running out of class as he passes Mayu who was standing there from the beginning.
==
I was taken to somewhere I don’t know…. It’s really dirty and vacant. I feel dizzy..
“Thank you for your hard work, Takeshi.”the other appears as I look at him I am surprised. He was on my first goukon, Koji. What? Is it really him???
“Oh hi, Acchan…..” he approaches me. “Cute as usual.”he pokes my face.
“What do you want from me?”
“Wow….wow….relax girl. I don’t want to hurt you….”
“Why did you want to meet Tomo?”
“Hm…..Should I tell you, Acchan?”
“Answer me!”
“Don’t shout at me!” PLAK. He slaps right on my face. “Don’t you think I can’t slap you because you are a girl. You annoyed me! Tomo did too!!”
“You punk! What did I and Tomo do?” I shout at him as I put my hand on my red cheek.
“You…….chose that guy! You chose him over me!! So that I hate you and him!!”
“What????”
“See Acchan…..Would you like becoming my girlfriend? I will release you now and I am sure you will be happy when you are with me…..” he strokes my hair.
“Never! I can’t imagine myself being with you!”
“How rude!” PLAK. Another slap lands on my cheek.
“Okay! You choose it yourself!! Don’t think I will forgive you, Acchan!! Take this!!”
I close my eyes and its about time he punches me right on my face.
“STOP!!!” Koji stops his move and sees at the entrance. There is Tomo standing there. She has beaten down one guard.
“Koji!! Don’t try to touch her more than that!!! I will kill you!!!”
“Well….well….Let’s see who is here…Oh, my beloved Tomo. Finally you come.”
Tomo baka! Why you come?
“Don’t call me your friend! I am not!!”
“I never recognize you as one!!! You!! You always be the top! You steal every girl attentions! I can’t forgive you for that!!”
“You are so funny, Koji.”
“SHUT UP!! You stole girl whom I love, then you stole Acchan from me!!! I can’t forgive you!!”
==
“Kai I am waiting for you!” Mayu approaches Kai who just arrives.
“Eh? Oh…I don’t know the news between me and Atsuko spreads……”
“It’s not about you! It’s about Acchan!!”
“Hoi, hoi…..Calm down……Okay tell me.”
“Looks like she was taken by someone this morning. ”
“Eh? Taken by whom?”
“I don’t know, I think he was bad person. I heard it this morning and Tomo was already there. I wonder if they were safe.”
“Okay. Thank you, Mayu.” Kai then runs out of school ignoring the teacher who just comes to teach his class.
==
“I never stole somebody from you.”
“DON’T TALK ANYMORE!! See!!!” Koji pulls me close to him. “You still care what will happen to her right??”
“Bastard! Don’t dare to hurt her more!”
“Then come here, you idiot!!!” He then throws me away.
“Itai….”
“Acchan!! Teme!!!” Tomo runs to Koji as Takeshi blocks his way. “Stand away!!” Tomo kicks him and hits his stomach. “Aaaaa!!!” he keeps punching Takeshi’s face but he fails to make him fall.
“Don’t think you can beat him down, Tomo!” Koji shouts from far distance.
“Kuso!!!” Tomo tries to punch his face but this time, Takeshi can dodge. “Nani?”
BRUAK. Tomo falls as Takeshi punches his face with a wood.
“Kuso…..”
“Tomo!” I shout to him. I can see Tomo’s head is bleeding… Tomo, you should not come for me. You don’t love me anymore right?? Why you should sacrifice your life for me? And now seeing you lay on the ground really hurt myself. I cry as I see Tomo is laying on the ground.
“Take that, Tomo! Haha…. You are nothing!!” Koji keeps shouting. “This is the moment that I always wait for!! Die!”
Tomo then slowly stands up. His sight is blurry, he can’t see his opponent clearly.
“Take this!” Takeshi comes closer with wood on his hand and hits Tomo’s stomach, then his face. He falls again.
“Tomo!! No!! Please Koji! Stop! Please stop!! I want to be your girlfriend, but please don’t hurt Tomo more than this!” I approach Koji and beg him to stop beating Tomo.
“You………ARE LATE! I will kill him now!! Hahahaa!!!” he says as he punches my face and I fall. This guy is really crazy.
“Let me kill him, Takeshi! Stand back!!” Koji approaches Tomo….Tomo can’t move his body as blood comes from his head.
“Haha….I like seeing you like this. And now, I will send you to the hell. Prepare yourself!!” Tomo takes the wood from Takeshi and ready to hit Tomo once again.
“Don’t play around!!!” Takeshi falls because someone is kicking his back. “DIE!!” He punches Koji and he falls as well.
“How dare you……touch my Atsuko. Do you want me to send you to the HELL?! HUH?!” Kai is there. “And you……That is not your place, Tomo. What a shame. Watch me. This is the true fighting! Aaa!!!” Kai runs to the fall Takeshi and kicks his jaw. Then he kicks his face again and causes him unconscious. “You…….” Kai looks at Koji with killing eyes. The eyes that I have never seen before. Kai is really scary. Koji moves his body to get farther, but Kai successes grabbing his shirt.
“How dare you punch my Atsuko? You wanna die?”
“Ugh…..” Koji tries to hit Kai with wood, but Kai can guess it and grabs his hand.
“What a pathetic. TAKE THIS!” Kai punches his face more than10 times, and the last punch makes Koji unconscious. Kai stands up and approaches me….
“Atsuko, are you alright?!” Kai offers his hand to me, but I stand up as I approach Tomo.
“Tomo! Tomo are you okay?!” I help Tomo to stand up. “Kai, what are you doing? Help me!!”
“Eh, oh…..ok.” Kai helps Tomo to stand up.
At school infirmary.
I take care of Tomo. Put on the bandage and clean his bruises.
“Why were you coming?”
“Because you were in trouble.”
“I don’t need your help.”
Tomo then stares at Kai who is standing there.
“Thanks, Kai…. You can leave.”
“Eh? You don’t have any right to ask me to leave!”
“I want to talk to Acchan. Just the two of us.”
“Atsuko doesn’t want to talk to you anymore! I won’t leave!”
“Kai……..”I calm Kai down. “Tomo, me and Kai is dating.” Tomo froze. I can see his eyes widen a bit.
“Ok, Kai…..There won’t be something between us again. Don’t worry…” likes Kai understand what I mean, he leaves us alone. He goes to the park and meets the school nurse there.
“Kai-kun, please give this antiseptic to Tomo. Thank you.” Kai nods and he is going back to the infirmary.
“You are dating with Kai? Are you sure??” I nod as I keep cleaning his wounds.
“I can’t believe it you have forgotten about me that fast.” I stop my hands as I look at him.
“What do you mean by have forgotten? Wasn’t it you??”
“I didn’t. Did you forget the day when I said I love you?”
“I did, but you lied to me!”
“No, I never lie to you!!”
“You did!! I saw you……”
“Saw what??”
“Kissed Tomomi….”
Long pause between us. “You went to…..hospital?” I nod.
“You must be misunderstanding! I didn’t love her!! I did that because she asked me to. Her heart is weak, so that I must be very careful to her. I didn’t want to hurt her…..”
I look down…. Dunno what to say. “Acchan….” He takes my hand, “Please trust me….”
“Tomo….” I look at him.
“I know you are with him now….. But my heart is really hurt. I can’t see you with somebody else. I just want you to be beside me. I love you…..”
“Tomo, I can’t…..” I cry.
“Why? You don’t love me?”
“I……I do Tomo. But I am with Kai now….” I still have feeling to Tomo, but I am not sure for how many percents… All I know that Kai is the most important now.
“Our feeling is the most important, Acchan! Please…please back to me….” He cups my cheek and wipes my tears away. “I can’t see you cry Acchan…..” Then he plants a kiss on my lips. I am surprised, but I can’t understand why I can’t push his body. The kiss I miss so much, already given by him… I close my eyes and feel Tomo’s kiss. He is kissing me so gently and making my tears roll down my cheek. Something stuck inside my mind, this thing is not right. Kissing Tomo is not the right thing, I realize it…. But…..its already late. When I slowly open my eyes, I see a figure is standing in front of door looking straightly at us. I am surprised as I see Kai is there. Frozen seeing us kissing each other in front of him….. He then closes his eyes and leaves the place immediately. I hate myself now. I have hurt someone that really special to me…
==============================================================================
OMG! OMG!
What have I done?? Kai, please forgive me
