Akiyo looked taken aback. His eyes were wide as he watched tears roll from the girl's eyes.

"I remember it now… I really did took that deal…" She mumbled. Akiyo looked startled. "And how you hated me like hell in there…" Akahana muttered,then started to rage.

"Quit being partners with me ! Leave me alone !" She pushed him away then started to run. Akiyo watched her for a while,before having the courage to chase her. "Akahana,please ! Listen to me !" He yelled. His stamina was dropping quickly,and he was being left behind. He did use a lot of energy to get here earlier.

Soon,he stopped,dropping on his knees and panting hardly. Sweat ran down from his chin to the ground as he helplessly watched her disappear in a distance. "L-listen…" He muttered. "I-i… I…" He made fists,his vision starting to blur because of tears. They soon started rolling and dropping to the ground,Akiyo sitting up and starting to cry himself out.

"I… love you…"

Akahana sighed,taking all of her things and stuffing them in a bag. When she felt satisfied and knew she wasn't forgetting anything,she took the bags and started to walk. After what happened,all she wanted was to leave.

"Where are you going…?"

Akahana looked up,seeing the same boy standing in front of her. He looked like a mess,mud and dirt clinging all over him.

Akahana paused,before sighing. "Anywhere." She answered coldly,trying to pass by him. Akiyo blocked her way,raising his arms. "I'm not letting you leave alone… You'll be in danger…"

"So ? You don't give a damn ! You yourself said it !" She pushed him out of the way and walked. Akiyo went speechless. He watched her walk,slowly getting further.

"It's now or never.."

"I-I love you,Akahana !"

He yelled,feeling a piece of his worries disappear. Akahana stopped,but didn't turn. "I love you ! Please ! Just… Stay ! I'm begging you !" He dropped on his knees and clasped his hands together,pleeding. Akahana turned slightly to look at him.

Akiyo waited for her to turn around,run to him and hug him. But…

It didn't come.

"I'm sorry… But…" Akahana sighed. "I just… Hate you at this moment… Give me some space for a while…" She mumbled,then ran off. Akiyo frowned,having no other choice but to watch.

He made fists,before deciding to let himself fall on the floor. As soon as he met the concrete,tears slid down and started to make a small water pool.

"The one I love left me… Again.."
