The Mysterious Island of Lost Treasures

Chapter 6

I pushed him away, and he was laughing and saying, "Oh my god! I can't believe you actually bought that! That was hilarious! Just like all the others!"

"Man! You really are a jerk! I thought that the gift was nice, I said thank you, and I actually thought you cared about me! But you really only want to mess with me don't you?!"

He slowly calmed down, and now seemed serious. It was weird how fast his emotions changed actually. He told me, "Well, I wasn't completely serious about the 'I just want to mess with you' part. I mean you are special. Why else would I go through all this for you?"

I started blushing and looked down. Oh my god, this is too serious to be a dream. I really don't want this to actually be a dream. I want this to be real. I think I actually do love him. I think I really, truly, do love Kyo. DAMN IT ME!!!! SLOW DOWN THE EMOTIONS!!!! IT'S ONLY BEEN ABOUT... about... a couple weeks... maybe a month?

"Acting like that only makes you cuter."

He pulled me close to him like in the dream, but sitting instead of standing, and held me like that for a while. I loved the warmth of his body. It was so soothing and calming, and his heartbeat was similar to mine; beating as fast as a hummingbird's wings.

"I'm really sorry. I've always just messed with girls my whole life, or at least ever since that one day at school. I've never been serious in my life when it came to relationships, except once. But you seem different, Sakura. You're not like other girls. I don't know what it is about you, but you're really special. I just wanted to try it out, to see if you would react like the other girls, but you didn't. They would all just cry about it, be little, wimpy, girly girls about it, but you aren't like that. You got mad... and I kind of liked it. You get mad a lot, but it makes you even funnier and cuter. I don't know where I'm going with this, but Sakura. You're different; you're really special to me."

I was silent in his embrace. I felt so happy at that moment. I've never been happier, and I don't think I could be happier. I held him tighter, and he seemed to be a bit surprised.

"I... I'm sorry, but I don't know how I feel. I don't understand my emotions right now. Although, if I don't understand my emotions, why do I feel so happy right now?" I looked at him questioningly, hoping maybe he would have an answer.

Kyo seemed upset, so he hugged me tighter, and yelled to the world, "I love you Sakura! Please, please accept my love! I truly love you! You're more than special to me! You're the most important person in my life! More important than Rory! Please, please accept it!"

I was blushing so much that my face was red, and I felt a tear land on my head. It wasn't just one tear; it was a shower of tears coming down Kyo's face. Kyo, You truly love me, don't you? I don't know what to say. Do I truly love you? I thought I loved you too, but my emotions are scattered. I don't know how to react to this. Please understand.

"Please Sakura! I do truly love you! Please, accept this! Don't make me feel this way! Please!"

I just slowly, gently, pushed him away, and then started running at full speed out of the shelter. I could hear Kyo in the distance screaming my name. "Sakura! Sakura! SAKURA!!!"
