"Ne, Akiya nee-chan!"a boy, the age of 10 called out to a girl with short brown hair. The said girl looks at the boy and raised her eyebrow and smiled. The girl wears a simple black and white stripe sleeve shirt and black skinny jeans paired with a black skater shoes. Her short trimmed brown hair was rippled to different places.

 

"Eh, Haku-kun? Doua no?" she asked, walking 'til she stood in front of him. She analyzes the boy's features, the replica of her, though his hair is short. The boy named Haku wears his elementary uniform, white polo shirt and black shorts.

Akiya smiled at the boy and hold his hands, "Ikkou ne, let's go home now. It seems your sister forget you," she said as the boy smiled and nodded, holding his sister's hand.

"Nee-chan, aren't you staying to our place again?" Haku suddenly asked as he hears his sister sighs.

"They don't want me anyway, besides I don't like that sister of yours..." she explained as Haku look at her.

"But she's not my sister, you're my sister... and she's just our step sister..." Haku grinned at what she said as he hears his sister chuckle at what he said.

"Maa, maa, Haku-chan... indeed it is. But I still won't go there... maybe not now," Akiya answered, looking down at him.

"Oi, Abunai!!!" someone warned as Akiya looked forward, she saw a glint of a boy with golden white highlights on his bangs. Until that guy collides with her, making the both of them fall on the ground. Haku gasp, shock at what happened.

"Nee-chan!" he called out as the two who fall on the ground, groans at the hard impact.

"Oi, Ren, are you alright?" a boy with black hair asked unsurely as the guy with brown shaggy hair looked down.

Noticing the girl, his eyes widen, "Kiya?!" he uttered out shock as the guy with white golden highlights started to pull back.

"I'm sorry about that," the guy apologizes as Akiya sighed and moan as she sits up.

She looked at the one who collided with her; one thing that escapes her mind is... "Kakoi!"

She glared coldly at the guy who apologizes, "Hn, I don't need your sorry, chikusou..." she uttered as she stood up, followed by the guy who was taken aback at her statement.

"Nandatou?!" the guy growled as the two of them glared with each other. The other looked at them amusedly.

"The girl's not afraid of Ren..." the guy with brown highlights stated as the guy with golden yellow hair nodded as they look at Ren, the guy with white golden highlights.

Haku, looked at the boys then to the guy with brown shaggy hair, he looks familiar to him. And it suddenly hit him, "Ah! Yamato nii-chan!" Haku called out as the guys and Akiya suddenly looked at the one called Yamato.

Akiya looked at Yamato, her eyes suddenly widen in happiness, as a smile was plastered on her face. "Ya-chan!!!" she called out as she suddenly went to him and glomp him, as Yamato caught her by the waist.

"Hisashiburi, Ya-chan! I miss you!!!" Akiya happily said as Yamato smiled unsurely as he could see all of the guys looking at him.

"Ah, Kiya, same here..." he answered.

"Mou, why is Yamato was being hugged by a girl?! Ne, Rikiya, I'm envious!" the guy with black shaggy hair moaned childishly as the guy with brown straight hair grinned.

"It can't be helped, Satoru!" the guy named Rikiya answered back as Ren pouted.

"Oi, Ogata... I'm not going to lose to you!" Ren said as Yamato pulled Akiya back on the ground, Akiya suddenly look at Ren.

"Baka!" she said as Ren glared at her and went in front of her.

"What did you say?" Ren said as Akiya smirks, suddenly giving Ren a peck on his lips. This shocks the guys and Haku as well. Speaking of Haku, Yamato suddenly closes his eyes with his hand to stop him from watching the scene.

Akiya pulled back and gave Ren, who still is shock, a wide grin, "Hajimemae, Kirihara Akiya! Yoroshiku nai!" she said and looked at Yamato. "Ya-chan, regard me to your mom!" she reminded as she holds Haku's hand and leave the place, which is the Shinta Temple.

"Your lucky, Ren!" Rikiya said as Ren suddenly look uninterested to them and grunted. "Hmm, that girl, who is she anyway?!"

Yamato suddenly chuckle softly, "Kirihara Akiya or Kiya... my idiotic cousin," he answered, looking at Ren slyly. A look that he knows something interesting would come on their way.

---

No sir,

well I don't wanna be the blame,

not anymore.

It's your turn,

to take a seat we're settling the final score.

And why do we like to hurt, so much?

Along the way, Akiya couldn't help but blush at what she did awhile ago, nevertheless, she smiled at her action. And Haku notice this and couldn't help but smile, "Ne, nee-chan..." he called out as Akiya just answered a hymn sound.

"Do you like that Ren guy?" Akiya stop and look at Haku, blinking owlishly.

She grinned wider, "Eh, so he's Ren... kakoi namae!"she said as Haku looked at his sister, surprised.

"Eh?! You don't know his name?! But why did you kissed him?!" he blurted out as Akiya blushed and grinned, she started too walked, followed by her brother.

"Because he's cool..." Haku sighed at his sister's action. He knew that his sister has never kissed anyone, and technically, that was her first kiss.

"You gave your first kiss to that guy..." Haku uttered out as Akiya stop and look at her brother. She smiled softly; she knew that her brother was just worried at her.

"Daijobou, daijobou... nothing to worry about it, Haku-kun. You're sister is just way too crazy now, I don't know but, I just have the feeling of me getting to know him more..." she answered and laughed unsurely, rubbing the back of her head.

Haku sighed defeated, "Hai, hai..."

"Onee-chan~" someone suddenly barged in their way, punks who are watching them in an alleyway. Haku suddenly tensed up as he saw a group with 10 guys who have ugly faces.

Akiya's eyes glared threatening at the guys as she stood in front of her brother, "Eh, onee-chan seems to be a fighter, eh? I like girls who are like that!" a guy coo-ed as the other laughed at it, Akiya smirks and shook her head.

"Too bad... I loathe guys who are exactly like all of you..." she rudely commented back as the one who is in front of the gang glared at her, insulted.

"Why you... don't underestimate us?!" Akiya burst out her laughter.

"Ahahahaha, underestimate?!" she asked as she looked at the guys slyly, the looks of someone who's crazy to kill someone.

"I suggest you all don't underestimate me..." she said as she looks at Haku. "Haku-kun, please do leave the place and go home. You see no fight, got it?" Haku nodded and suddenly run away from the place.

The guys glared boastfully at her, "You'll never get away with this!" the guy who seems to be the leader said as they all attack her.

Akiya couldn't help but smirks evilly, "Ditto!" she uttered out as she kicks the guy on the nuts, the guy cried out in pain, as he kneels and holds his nuts. Akiya instantly punch him on the face as she dodged another one who wanted to hug her from behind.

She was enjoying the fight the punks were giving her; she dodged another one as she gives the other one a kick on the shin and a punch on the stomach.

"She's no ordinary, boss!" a guy uttered as the 'boss' smirks and raises his hand, stopping his guys from the fight with Akiya.

Akiya raised an eyebrow at this and smirks, "Eh, what's this? I haven't got my warm up yet..." she sarcastically said as the leader scoffs at her rough attitude.

"Don't worry, little girl... later you will..." said the leader, just as then, they hear sirens of a cop's car.

"Police! Boss, let's outta here!!!" the leader scoffs and look at Akiya.

"Remember this, we'll continue this later..." warned the leader as Akiya scoffs, watching the punks leaves the place.

She sighed and smiled, "Ya-chan... I know you're there. Come out now!" she said as she turned her back, she was now facing the six guys and Haku. "Haku, I thought you leave the place?!" she asked sternly at her brother, who seems not to faze at your words.

"I don't want you having trouble more, onee-chan!" he reasoned as Yamato sighed and shook his head.

"You never changed at all, Kiya..." Yamato said as Akiya walked towards him.

She check him from head to toe, a thoughtful finger was placed on her chin as the five guys, watched the two of them.

She circled her cousin and laughed, "Geez, Ya-chan... you somewhat changed, is it?"

"What do you think was that?" Rikiya, the black shaggy haired guy asked Ren who just shrugged and looked intently at Akiya.

Akiya who noticed this look at Ren, "Ne, Ya-chan... a new peer of yours?" Yamato sighed and nodded.

"They're Ichimura Rikiya, Kuraki Satoru, Hongo Kengo, Kamiya Shunsuke and Kazama-" before Yamato finishes introducing them, Akiya butted in.

"Ren, the one I kiss, is it?" Akiya smiled as Kamiya and Kengo whose behind Ren grinned as they both place a hand on Ren's shoulder.

"Yes, he's the one..." Ren grunted and looked in the other way. Akiya tilted her head to the side innocently.

"Eh, are you mad that I've kissed you?" Akiya asked as Ren looked at her.

"Of course, who wouldn't be?! I don't know you and then you kissed me!" he argued as Akiya grinned, placing a hand in front, calmly.

"Maa, maa... it's only a kiss!" she reasoned. Yamato smiled at Akiya, "Ikkou, Kiya... we have something to discuss of,"

 

"Oi, Ogata, wait a moment. I'm not finish with this girl, yet."Ren seriously said as Akiya looked at him blankly.

"You seem to over-react at what I did, eh?" Akiya said, looking at him blankly.

"What do you want me to do? Beg for your forgiveness that I'm the one who have your first kiss?" Satoru and Rikiya quietly looked at them, as well as Kengo and Shunsuke.

"Nee-chan... I want to go home..." Haku suddenly said as Akiya looked at her watch, it's 4.30 in the afternoon, and she sighed and nodded.

"Just asked Ya-chan for my address if you want to continue this discussion..." she holds her brother's hand and leave the six, as Ren just gaped at her.

Yamato smirks and looked at Ren, "Ah, souka... she lives five blocks near you, her gate is violet." Yamato reminded as Satoru and Kengo gawked at Yamato.

"Ogata! Why didn't you tell us you have a cousin like her?!" Kengo whined as Yamato looked unsurely.

"She's not the type of those simple girls who would get scared of they saw us," Rikiya nodded and sighed.

"It's obvious; you know the thing she did at those punks? Dude that must’ve hurt..." the other boys cringed in pain once they remember Akiya kicking the nuts of those punks.

Ren suddenly smirks, in fact, he likes the girl. The very first time he laid his eyes on hers, it’s just that, his pride is too high that a single fact he likes her can not be reached and answered.

---

I can't decide

You have made it harder just to go on

And why?

All the possibilities...

Well I was wrong

Akiya walked alone at the park, she sighed as she was finished fetching her little brother and going to her former home. She was still schooling, and yet she leave alone and doesn't want to come back at her family that consist of her brother, her dad, her new mom and sister. She liked the new mom, but not the sister who is always perky and a spoiled brat. She ended up wanting to be independent as she was working half of her time at a Coffee Shop near her school.

She once again sighed as she took a sit at the see-saw, she was thinking about the guy she has kissed. It felt different to her, on how she straight-forwardly kisses Kazama Ren. She smiled to herself, that was her first kiss and she just give it to a guy whom she didn't know.

"It's worth a kiss anyway..." she uttered, as a smile was plastered on her face.

"Eh, onee-chan~ It has been an hour or so since we saw you!" she growled once she heard those voice.

"Those punks... they never learn their lesson..."she thought sadly and sighs as she stood up.

"Eh, so you've come back for my warm up. Glad you're all here..." she simply retorted as the boss glared at her.

"Get her...!" he ordered as the guys were moving to her slowly.

"Fools... you're all coward!" Akiya gaped as she looked forward to see...

"Kazama... Ren?"she thought, surprised. "Why is he here?"

"Who are you anyway?!" a punk asked as the leader smirks and burst out laughing, leaving Akiya, Ren and the punks look at the leader confused.

The leader suddenly walked to Akiya, whom glared and tensed at the sudden action of the punk. He suddenly grip Akiya's body from behind as the leader's arm were place to Akiya's neck and to her abdomen. Starting to choke her, Akiya was out suddenly out of guard and surprised as the leader kept strangling her.

She was trying to get out of the grip of the punk, added by that is that she's trying to regain her breath. And yet, she started to feel dizzy. Ren was taken aback at this action as he looks startled.

"So, this is your girl, eh?" the leader smirks as Akiya stop from strangling and look up at the punk.

Ren was taken aback and glared at the punk, "What did you say? Idiot! Who would like a tomboy like her to be his girl anyway?" Ren retorted as Akiya felt hurt at what he said, Akiya is sometimes sensitive to those what speaks to her. That also is the reason why she left, she was sensitive and her family hasn’t noticed about it except for Haku and Yamato.

From anger, Akiya suddenly grips the punks arm and throw him on the ground hard, as hard as she could she step up on his nuts as the punks look at her terrified. Akiya took a step back as the punks aided their leader and leave the place, Ren gape at her. She's strong, he knew that.

Ren looked at her yet her head bow down, as her bangs covered her eyes, unseen the real emotion she was feeling. She's a girl, she knows it but acted like a boy, and yet she tried hard to be a girly girl. A girl her dad wants, a simple girl like her mother; simple yet elegant. Alas, it seems it never meant to be.

"Scheiss, I thought you're going to be dead on that..." Ren suddenly started to spoke as he went forward to her. "It seems that you really can protect yourself from anyone, eh? You're strong..." he added as he now stood in front of her, yet she never looked up on him.

A minute of unease silence, Ren sighed as he still observes her. "You alright?" he asked worried as Akiya seem to noticed the worried voice of him. She sighed and nodded, looking up at him, his eyes widen noticing the hurt look in her eyes.

"Are you sure?" she shook her head and laughed.

"Scheiss, stop worrying, we're not close with each other anyway..." she said and started to leave, but Ren took a hold of her hand.

"You're sensitive," Ren said as Akiya's eyes widen. Yet, she suddenly takes her hand back and glared at him.

"Quit ranting, would ya?! You don't know anything." she calmly said and smirked, a smile suddenly plastered on her face as she was still touch at Ren being worried at her.

She smiled friendly at him, she do have mood swings I say.

"It seems that you figured it also..." she answered, a thoughtful finger was placed on her chin. "Yes, definitely I'm sensitive; I don't know how it happens. But I am always hurt when people do say something they didn't mean too, but it meant something on me..." she explained and looked up to him, who just looked down at her quietly. Amuse at what he have heard.

She sighed and nodded silently, "I have to go... thanks for distracting those punks anyway," she uttered out, slightly punching Ren's shoulder with her hand.

Just as she was about to leave, Ren sighed, "I'll walk with you," Akiya stopped and looked at Ren, blinking owlishly.

"Eh? Pardon?" Akiya asked, not really believing what she has heard. Ren sighed irritably, suddenly grabbing Akiya's hand, leading her to start walking. Akiya couldn't help but smiled down at their hands, her hand enlacing with his.

---

Ren looked up at the simple white paint house, with the garden in front, and a violet gate. "Anou, this is where I stay..." Akiya said as Ren looked at his side to see Akiya looking up at him.

"Do you want to stay for awhile?" Akiya politely asked as Ren looked at her then to the house.

"Maybe next time..." he answered as he looked down at their hands, his eyes widen as he quickly retreat his hand back, Akiya smiled and nodded.

"Well, thanks for walking with me anyway." Ren just nodded, placing his hands at his pants pockets.

Akiya suddenly face him, tip toeing she gave Ren a long kiss this time; she could feel Ren tense up. She suddenly pulled back before Ren could kiss back at her. He blinked as he saw a tint of blush on Akiya's cheeks.

"Arigatou,"

That's what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa!

That's what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa...

I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.

And that's what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa.

---

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here.

'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.

I still try... holding onto silly things, I never learn.

Oh why? All the possibilities. I'm sure you've heard.

 

2 Weeks Later

Akadou High School

Ren at the back of their class daydreamed at the event when he always walked Akiya every night at her house, the kisses Akiya would always give him, and that sweet attitude of the girl. He can't help but feel comfortable at those simple loving actions she was giving to him. He was now reminiscence those events as his hand cupped his cheek. His friends noticed the strange action of the cheerful, energetic guy in the class.

"Ne, Yamato, do you know what happen to Kazama?" Kengo asked as Yamato suddenly looked at Ren who still daydream, he smirked.

"He seems to daydream now, and he isn't like that..." Satoru said, shaking his head.

Rikiya suddenly looked up and raised his pointing finger, knowingly. "Ah, Yamato! Your cousin!" he suddenly exclaimed as the entire classed hushed and looked at Rikiya, even Ren who suddenly stop daydreaming and looking at Rikiya then to the door.

Ren's eyebrow raised and frowned as the five looked at him amusedly, "Do you think-" Shunsuke trailed off.

"Ren--"

"is in love..." Kengo and Satoru looked at each other as Rikiya grinned as Ren, they burst out laughing, which Ren was taken aback.

"Oi, what are your problems?!" Ren asked as the five just grinned evilly. Looking at Ren in a 'we know something you're hiding' look.

Ren suddenly looked at them unease at the way they're looking at him, "What are those look?" he asked, sitting straight.

The four guys except Yamato circled the place where Ren is sitting, he was being interrogated now.

"What are you all doing?" Ren asked as Yamato just watch his friends, the rest of the 3D continued their work.

"We have some serious interrogation to be held today," Kengo said, grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"And that is-" Ren trailed off as Satoru patted his shoulders.

"Since this interrogation activity is really important for us to now," Shunsuke added as Ren started to get pissed off at this habit of being a spoiler of his friends.

"Just asked me fast now..." Ren ordered as the four laughed, Yamato chuckling at the back as he took a step forward to them.

"Do you like my cousin?" Yamato suddenly asked, the entire section of Class 3 Section D, stop what they're doing as Yamato suddenly referred or asked about his cousin. Ren's eyes widen at the question, as well as being the attention of not so particular question in their section.

That's what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa!

That's what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa..

I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.

And that's what you get when you let your heart win. Whoa.

---

After Class

"Oi, Kazama! Come on!" Shunsuke trailed off, laughing.

"Urusei!" Ren growled out, sulking. Yamato chuckled as he watched his friends who tried to know what really is happening to their Kazama Ren. Trying to find out what really is Ren has been after he met Kirihara Akiya. But of course, Ogata Yamato already knows what happened; it seems that this brown haired cute guy has gone into a stalking mode that night.

"Aww, Ren, tell us already so we won't bug you anymore!" Kengo said as Ren started too walked faster, as the four once again bugged him.

"Ah, Ren-kun!" a girl's voice stopped their goofing around; they look at the way of the voice and saw Akiya. Ren suddenly stop breathing seeing the girl in front of them wearing a black skirt past her knees and a white fitted printed shirt, added by that is the black and white arm band and a black sneakers.

"Kawaii," Shunsuke coo-ed as Ren glared at his way.

"Shut up," Ren shout as the four was taken aback at his action, Ren leave the guys and went to Akiya who is waving at him happily.

"Yo!" she greeted, smiling happily. The five guys compressed with each other as they watched the couple.

"What are you doing here?" Ren asked as Akiya looked at him.

"Aww, come on. As if you're the one I'm visiting," Akiya said, chuckling and shaking her head. "I'm here to talk to my cousin and his friends,"

Ren sighed, "Do you have any classes?" Akiya just nodded, as the five guys started to go at their way.

"She only has advance classes left, which means that she always goes home at lunch..." Yamato explained as Rikiya smiled at Akiya and went beside her.

"Eh, so that means you cram school?" Akiya looked at him and shook her head.

"No. I don't like night schools, but I just do the advancing per semester schedule..." Rikiya just nodded and laughed. "Oh, souka, I'm just a Sophomore..." she trailed off, placing a finger on her chin. "But my advance classes are for seniors,"

"Sugoi!" Satoru said as Kengo nodded, "You're a genius!" they both said as Akiya chuckled, can't help but be embarrassed.

"No, I'm not... I do have advance but I somehow get tired of it, those lectures I got seem to not enter my mind," she answered as Ren just watched her amusedly.

"So, where're you going guys?" Akiya said as Yamato smiled.

"Why don't you go with Ren?" he uttered as they all looked at him. "Me, Kengo, Shunsuke, Rikiya, and Satoru have something to do," he said out as the four guys grinned and nodded.

"Yea, it seems that we're starting to get busy..." Kengo reasoned as Akiya looked at them unsure.

"You all sure? I mean, you could all hang out at my place." the four guys looked at her then to Yamato, they like to hang-out at her place, they wanted to know her more.

Ren couldn't help but smirks as he started to enlace his hand with hers, "Yea, you all guys were busy. Gonna walk Kiya home..." Ren said out as Yamato and Rikiya grab Kengo, Shunsuke and Satoru's collar not wanting them to disturb the couples moment.

---

Pain, make your way to me. (to me)

And I'll always be just so inviting.

If I ever start to think straight,

This heart will start a riot in me,

Let's start... Start, hey!

As the two walked their way at Akiya's home, Ren still holds her hand and Akiya couldn't help but look down at their hands. Liking the feeling of his warm, soft hands with hers, she was starting to like him more and she can't help it. She like how Ren could be so gentle to her, but once he knew he was starting to get soft, he suddenly turned back being the brusque one.

She looked at the place they're going, they were now at the park, "Anou, Ren..." she called out as Ren stopped and looked at her.

"What?" he asked, still not noticing that his hands were on hers.

"I want to stay at the park for awhile..." she uttered and nodded at the place, Ren sighed and nodded. Giving a simple 'Sure'.

She smiled and suddenly she was the one tagging him along at the place, and Ren suddenly saw both their hands are enlaced. She suddenly stopped once she felt his hand twitched tensely, her head suddenly lowered, yet a smile plastered on her face.

To tell you the truth, she wanted to tell exactly how she feels for him. And she wanted to know if he was the same on hers.

"Ne, Ren..."

"Yea?"

"I... I mean..." she tried to voice out the thoughts in her mind but she can't. She's afraid of Kazama Ren's opposite feeling on hers. She sighed as she faced him, both of their hands pulled back away from each others.

Ren look at her seriously, he could sense the loneliness in her eyes. She has something to tell, yet afraid of what the outcome was.

"What do you want to tell?" he asked, wanting her to continue.

"Eto... you see," she suddenly speak out, looking from left to right, trying to figure out what's really bugging Akiya.

"Mou just say it already! You're-"

"I love you!" she said out, a bit loudly as Ren suddenly looked at her wide eyed. She groaned and leaned her hand on her head.

"Mou, that's why I don't want to tell it to you!" she groaned, suddenly running away at the place, leaving the surprise Ren.

---

AKIYA'S HOUSE

She breathed heavily at the run she made, locking her gate and the door so no one could invade her place. She walked inside her kitchen and gets a bottle of water. Quickly gulping the remaining water on it, suddenly tears fall down in her cheeks.

"Baka..." she uttered out, once she finishes drinking. She tried to wipe her tears, yet another round of tears fall down to her cheeks.

"You shouldn't have told him your feelings," she told to herself and walked back to her entertainment room. Sitting at her comfortable cushion where she could lay herself and sleep there. "He's too shock to retort the opposite feelings for you, crazy woman..."

"Oi! Crazy Woman!!!" someone suddenly shouted as Akiya looked at her white plain ceiling, she nodded to herself.

"Yea, I'm definitely crazy... I could hear someone saying I'm crazy now." she spoke to herself and sighed, lying to her side. Wanting nothing but to rest, thinking that this is just a funny dream. She will remember no Kazama Ren in her life.

Why do we like to hurt so much?

Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

Outside of Kirihara Akiya's house, there stood Kazama Ren who wanted nothing but to hear Akiya's voice telling him she loves him. He wanted to hear her voice again, since his feelings to her were mutual, he doesn’t know how it happens or started. But he liked and he confirmed to himself that he like the sensitive crazy woman, only to him.

That's what you get when you let your heart win!

Whoa.

"KIRIHARA AKIYA! Get you little arse out here!" Ren shouted, making Akiya's eyes shot open, for she was not crazy. The voice she heard awhile ago was the exact voice of the guy she has confessed. Kazama Ren.

"Akiya!" Ren shouted once again, this time its stern voice made Akiya jolted up to her cushion. Quickly running to her door, she notices that rain suddenly pours down outside. She looks up at the night rainy sky then to Kazama Ren in front of her gate that bears the soaking wet clothes in him.

"Ren? Why are you still here?" she asked confusedly.

"Akiya," he called out, his lips quivering as he still was standing outside. "I'm freezing here, can you at least let me enter your house?!" Akiya nodded furiously, running outside, not minding that her clothes are getting wet. She opens the lock of her gate door, as Ren quickly went to Akiya covering her form with his long sleeve shirt. Not minding that he was getting wet more. He locks the gate and aided Akiya inside.

They both stood in front of her door, "Y-You're soaking wet!!!" she whined, and looked at his form. "What time did you went here anyway?"

"Stop worrying, I'm fine..." Ren uttered, suddenly feeling the wind approach him, he suddenly quivers.

Akiya couldn't help but smile, she grab his hand and drag him inside her house. "Ikkou, you need to get some dry clothes..." she uttered as she open the door.

"Akiya..." Ren called out as he suddenly embraced her from behind, making Akiya stop; shock at what the simple action he have given to her.

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

"I'm sorry about what happen awhile ago, when I haven't answered..." Ren uttered out and sighed. "Takku, you surprised me at that! I never expected that that will happen, but truely..." Akiya couldn't help but to be touched at what he was now telling to her.

"Truely... I wished those words will be spoken by you." he uttered as he make Akiya faces him, he could see the blushed on Akiya's cheeks, and he couldn't help but smile. "And I'm happy it was granted..."

At this statement, Ren lips close the gap between him and Akiya, kissing her. Akiya didn't have to think twice, as she kisses Ren back with the same intense he was giving her. Her hands went up to his neck, closing the space the both have.

As minutes passes by, Akiya and Ren pull back from the kiss, both of their eyes locked together, raw emotions filled their eyes. "I thought... I... you idiot!" she uttered and hugged his wet form, not minding if she was starting to get went. Her clothes, I mean.

---

Another Week Later

The Class 3D can't help but notice the cheery aura of their 2nd Leader, Kazama Ren. Even Yamaguchi Kumiko, their homeroom adviser couldn't help and asking her students about what happen to Ren.

"Ne, Ogata," Yamaguchi called the 1st Leader of the Section.

"What's wrong with Kazama? He seems happy... and always daydreaming," Yamaguchi asked as she went to their chairs.

"Don't mind Ren, Yankumi!" Satoru chimed in as they observe Ren. Yamaguchi looked at Satoru, then to the guys.

"Eh, why?"

The boys chuckled and looked at Yamaguchi; Kengo answered the question of their adviser. "Because Kazama Ren, has fallen in love at Kiya-chan. Yamato's cousin," Yamaguchi's eyes widen but suddenly look at Ren with an overjoy reaction.

"Eh?! I'm happy!" Yamaguchi chimed happily.

"Ah, Yankumi..." Rikiya suddenly called out, just as Yamaguchi went to Ren. Yamaguchi looked at Rikiya, "Don't disturb him..." Rikiya whispered as Yamaguchi nodded silently and do as what Rikiya said.

---

After Class

Ren happily leaved the classroom, as he looks at Yamaguchi and waved happily. "Ja ne, see you all tomorrow!" he said waving to his fellow friends/classmates.

His classmates looked at him, "Oi, introduce us to your girl! You haven't properly introduced him to us!"

Ren chuckled and run outside their classroom, as his friends, classmates and Yamaguchi followed him outside.

Outside of the school, there stood Kirihara Akiya, wearing her uniform, black blazer that has a sleeveless white shirt inside, black skirt pass down to her knees, and black shoes.

She smiled once she saw Ren running his life away from his intrigued classmates, a teacher running as well made her smile widens.

Ren screech in a halt in front of her, making Akiya giggled at his action. He quickly went behind her and embraced her -slash- hiding to the bunch of 3D's.

"Eh. Oi, something in your sentence is missing!" Ren said as a woman in a red sweatshirt went near to them.

"Wow, kawai! I never thought that Kazama would be click at a girl like you! By the way, I'm Yamaguchi Kumiko or just call me Yankumi. Their class adviser,"Yamaguchi introduces as Akiya nodded and took a simple bow.

"You're lucky, Ren! Congratulations!" the entire 3D students said, making Akiya blushed at the attention, yet a proud smile was plastered on her face.

"Oi, Ren. Don't make my cousin go pregnant quickly," Yamato jokingly said, making Akiya furiously blushed. As Ren chuckled and smirks.

"Don't worry... just wait until she turns 18," he answered as Akiya pushed him away and glared childishly.

"Eh, baka !" Akiya pouted as she hit Ren in his shoulder lightly. Ren chuckled at this, hugging the girl. He looked at his classmates and smile.

"You guys just wait for our wedding!!!" Ren said, taking a peck on Akiya's lips in front of their friends and teacher.
