Raura's POV

"We can't tell anyone."

What?  Seriously?  That kiss was everything I've ever wanted, everything that I've ever needed.  So many nights went by sleepless because of her.  I tried so hard not to let her in, not to let her affect me at all.  I can't rely on her.

But those words struck me like a dagger in the heart.  What does she mean by 'we can't tell anyone?' Is she embarrassed of me?  Is she ashamed to be with me?  I guess those are the same question, true, but...

What did I do wrong?

Yui's POV

"So, why do you think you're here?"

"I guess some people are concerned about me for whatever reason.  Also Moa-chan dragged me here."  The therapist smiled kindly at me.

"Why are they concerned about you?"

"I mean, I guess I can see why they would be concerned.  I cut myself, I break down, I was kicked out of my house, so I guess there's reason to be concerned."

"Do you have a place to stay?"

"Well, I stayed at Moa's the other night and then at some place called the Rainbow Connection last night..."

"Ah.  The Rainbow Connection.  That's our pet project."  The doctors looked at each other smiling.  The woman- Mikiko?- nodded at the man- Mori? before he began to speak.

"Dr. Mikiko and I started the Rainbow Connection when one of our old patients got kicked out and ended up living in a flat with 10 other kids who were either kicked out or orphaned.  That was, what, ten years ago?"  Dr. Mikiko nodded.

"Dr. Mori and I have been treating most everyone who lives there for years.  We even referred Hinata there when she was in the hospital last year."  I nodded.  I guess these guys are more legit than I thought.

"So, are you willing to at least try to get better?"

"I don't know if I can."

"We're just asking you to try."

About an hour later, I was riding back to the cafe on a train.  Moa sat beside me, looking around nervously.

"Are you okay, Moa-chan?"

"Eh?  Yeah, I had coffee this morning..."

"Oh dear.  Su told me something about this."

"How about you, how are you?"

"Exhausted."  It was true.  Therapy takes a lot out of you.  Moa patted her shoulder in response.  "What?"

"Sleep on my shoulder."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes.  I'm sure."

I hesitantly laid my head on her shoulder, feeling my entire body relax as my head made contact with her.  Within moments, I was asleep with a smile on my face.

The train suddenly rolling to a halt jolted me awake, causing me to snap my head off of Moa's shoulder.  What I didn't know was that Moa had fallen asleep resting her head on mine, causing my head to knock into her.  She jolted awake and winced, rubbing her head in pain.

"Moa-chan!  Gomen, gomen, are you okay?"  She laughed.

"Yui-chan, there's no need to apologize!  I was kidding.  I'm perfectly fine."  She smiled at me.  My heart stopped and I got lost in those sparkling eyes.  She's gorgeous, she's everything, she's-
