I just started walking. I had no idea where my feet were taking me. I didn't care anyway. I just want to be away from the Guardians, that's all. I walked to the park and was actually surprised that my feet took me there. I sighed and sat on the bench where we always meet. He sat next to me and I looked at the ground. I saw a dark spot appear on the floor and I noticed that I was crying. Ikuto looked at me.
"Is everything alright?" he asked. I sighed. I couldn't believe how nice he was. Was I really starting to have feelings for him?
"To be honest, no," I said. He gave me a warm smile. Silph and Sophie sat on my lap and they looked up at me.
"I'm never gonna be the friend that helps friends in need. I feel as if I'm useless," I told Ikuto.
"Are you kidding?!?! I've only known you for a short amount of time but you're one of the most caring friends I've ever had," Ikuto said. I smiled.
"What's the deal with this Easter place?" I asked solemnly. He looked at me shocked.
"I shouldn't get you involved."
"Tell me."
"I really don't want you to get targeted or anything."
"Please tell me Ikuto. I want to know."
"No."
"Is it because you hate me?" Ikuto looked at me and shook his head. I bet that was the reason. I sighed. I got up to leave. Ikuto grabbed my hand and I turned around. He hugged me.
"It's gonna be okay. I just don't want you to get involved with me and Easter. It would be best if you just avoided me," Ikuto said sadly. I hugged him tighter.
"I don't want to lose another friend," I muttered. He looked at me, smiled, waved, and walked away. I started to blush. Silph looked at me in an odd way. He laughed.
"What's so funny?" I scolded.
"You have feelings for Ikuto, don't you?" Sophie asked. I glared at her. I thought for a moment and my face turned beet red.
"Just, stop talking about it," I said.
"Yuki?" someone said. I turned and saw Tadase standing there. I tilted my head and waved. He waved back.
"I need to tell you something," he said. I was confused. What does he need to tell me?
