Lost...

      The next day, I woke up early in the morning. It’s 5a.m and I was still inside Shinjiro-senpai’s room. When I turn, I saw senpai beside me just woke up. I smiled and he smiled back.

      “Did I wake you up…?” I said smiling

      “Hmph no, don’t worry…Did you sleep well?” Shinjiro said smiling while touching my hair

      “Of course I did” I replied nodded and smiling

      “*smile* good…” He said kissed me on the lips

      “Today…is the night right?” I asked

      “Yeah…” He replied suddenly turn sad

      “What’s wrong?” I lifted my head from the pillow

      “It’s nothing…”He smiled “Hey, I think you should go back to your room now while everyone—“

      “No!” I quickly replied and pull the blanket to cover my face 

      “H-Huh…?” He said surprised

      “I want…to spend time with you senpai…please..?” I said looking at him pleadingly

      “Urgh…alright alright…but just for a while. Then later I take you back to your room” He said embraced me closer to him smiling.

      The thing is…I’m worried. I don’t know why…but today’s operation make me feels worry. This is the first time I felt it but…I can feel something gonna happen. I thought if I’m with senpai…I might be okay but…for some reason…I felt like senpai is going far away....

      “Senpai…” I said in my sleep

      “Hm?” He replied

      “Don’t go…don’t leave me…I love you…” I said fall asleep

      “…..” He silent with his sad face “Minako…promise me…to smile always…”

*******

     

      Meanwhile at the command room, the dark hour reaches. Fuuka summoned her persona Lucia and trying her best to search for the shadow. Everyone is here, except Ken and Senpai…I wonder where he is. This morning, senpai escort me to my room and he said to focus on the mission tonight. Even so he shows his happy face but I can know his hiding something. Senpai…where are you…?

       “I’ve located the target…It’s in the plaza in front of Iwatodai Station!” Fuuka said detected our enemy

       “This will be the 10^th…Only a few left, but let’s worry about them one at the time.” Ikutsuki said

       “Assuming they come one at a time. *giggle* Just kidding.” Yukari said making a joke

      “Yukari-chan, how did you know!? I sense two of them!” Fuuka said surprised

      “Are you serious!? Me and my big mouth…” Yukari said surprised and depressed

      “Way to go Yukari…” Me, Junpei and Aria answered

         Then Akihiko interfered…

      “Where’s Shinji?” Akihiko asked

      “He just notified me that he’ll meet up with you later. I didn’t ask any questions” Fuuka replied

      “Senpai…” I whispered in my heart while putting my hand at my chest. This feeling…why I feel pain in my heart…?

      “Minako…?” Aria murmured

      “Figures. He’s always played by his own rules.” Akihiko said curious

      “It’s okay. At least he’s coming, right?” Junpei interfered

      “Heh, look who’s talking.” I said glare at Junpei with smile

      “H-Hey, last time wasn’t my fault! I was tied up!” He said trying to be innocent “Not this time, though. I’m ready and rarin’ to go!”

      “Wait, Ken-kun isn’t here, either…” Yukari reminded “Hey Junpei, go get him. That’ll be your punishment for last time.”

      “Punishment..? What is this, kindergarten?” Junpei said whining “*sigh* That little shit is more trouble than he’s worth”

     

      Junpei then hurriedly walk out the command room to fetch Ken-kun. Aria then walks towards me and pat my shoulder with a smile. I know what she’s trying to do, she’s telling not to worry about Shinji-senpai. “Everything’s gonna be alright” That’s what her expression going to say. Thanks Aria…but I try… *smile* .

      A few minutes later, Mitsuru gave us an order to move out. She reminds us again there are two enemies. So means one more shadow left right? I’m still having the feeling…but anyhow…I have to focus on the mission. I know senpai will come later. We all move out and went straight to Iwatodai Station. Once we arrived, two giant shadows appeared at the roundabout in front of the station.

   

      “There they are!” Yukari shouted “This is the way we go to school! We’ve gotta protect this place…”

      “Yeah!” Everyone nodded

      “It seems like they’ve been waiting for us.” Fuuka said

      “Where’s Amada?” Mitsuru asked Junpei

      “He wasn’t in his room, so who knows…” Junpei replied

      Ken-kun also missing…this feeling making me even more worried and pain. Damn it! I need to focus…

     “Dammit, Shinji…Where are you?” Akihiko murmured

     “Senpai…?” Aria said 

     “Um, I think we should hurry…They look like they’re about to make their move.” Fuuka said worried

     “Let’s finish this fast....” I said still worried “Akihiko-senpai, Aria and Aigis. Let’s go!”

     “Roger!”

      After set up a team, all of us ran and engaged to the enemy. Like Fuuka said, it’s been expecting us. Everyone is ready to their battle position. The feeling still haunted me inside…why…why I’m trembling…why my heart feels so pain. Why…Dammit! I hate this feeling! *grip my weapon tightly*

      “Minako…?” Aria murmured seeing me trembling

      “There’s Fortune and Strength. I’ll keep you inform! Please be careful!” Fuuka shouted 

       When we were ready to attack, the Strength arcana casting a spell to the Fortune making it disappear.

        “Where the other one go?” Aria said

        “I don’t detect the Fortune one anymore! The Strength one must have done something!” Fuuka answered “You can’t attack it right now…Concentrate on the one whose Arcana is Strength!”

        “Understood” Aigis copy and summoned her persona “Palladion!”

        Palladion came forth and dash through to attack the shadow. The shadow reflects the attack back to Palladion. Aigis suffered the damage.

       “Aigis-san!” Aria shouted putting her evoker on her head “Eithodea heal!” Eithodea came forth and casting a healing magic towards Aigis.

       “Thank you for your support Aria-san.” Aigis smiled

       “Please do be careful” Aria replied

       “Look out! Aria!” I shouted seeing the shadow charge in towards Aria to attack “Tch! don’t mess with me! Thor!”

       Thor come forth and dash towards the Shadow. Make the shadow being hit by the wall.

      “Kyaaa!” the shadow scream

          Aria was alright but the shadow isn’t giving up yet. Akihiko then summoned his persona Polydeuces and cast lighting towards the shadow. The shadow scream of pain…because of the Strength arcana is in trouble. The fortune appeared and cast something falling from the sky. It’s roulette…?

         “Why there’s roulette in the middle?” Akihiko curious

         “It must be the Fortune power. Be careful guys! We don’t know what’s it do” I remind them to be ready of the attack

         The Fortune jumps on the roulette and spin it. I can see red and blue line and also showing defense and attack increase or decrease. When the roulette stop spinning, it points at the defense down blue line. I hope the blue line is our luck…

         “Ah! The enemy’s defense is down dramtically. How did it happen? Is it because of the roulette?” Fuuka shouted

         “I see…so as I thought. The blue line is luck and the red one is our bad luck. If the arrow stick on the blue line, the shadow will get the effect. But if red we’re the one who will get it. So no matter what…be careful. Focus on our enemy!” I shouted

          All of them nodded, and continuing engaging the enemy. While in the battle, My heart still felt the pain and my whole body is trembling. I experience this feeling before…it’s the feeling where I lost my parents…I don’t know why the feeling return. I hate this feeling…I’m worried about Shinji-senpai…Where is he? He said he’ll always be by my side..but where is he? Ken is absent too…I wonder what’s going on. Senpai…

         “The Strength arcana is in effect with fear.” Fuuka said

         “Fear…? I know who to call. Come forth! Mot!” I said return Thor and summoned Mot Death arcana “Kill it!”

         Mot cast a Ghastly Wail magic towards the Strength Arcana. Suddenly a dozen of hands coming right out from below and drag the shadow towards the bottom. The shadow scream and struggling to get out but it was too late. The shadow completely been devoured by the black hole.

         “Nice Minako-chan! I don’t sense the Strength arcana anymore. It’s already been defeated. Now I think you guys can attack the Fortune now! Good luck!” Fuuka shouted

         “That skill is really dangerous…” Akihiko murmured

         “Everyone get ready it’s doing the roulette again!” I shouted please hit fear so I can kill you instantly.

         The Fortune arcana summon his roulette again. But the roulette seems to be different….a low chance on getting luck and high chance on getting bad luck. What the…! This is unfair!

         “What!? Come on that’s unfair!?” Fuuka shouted

         “Tch! Please hit the blue line fear….please!” I murmured gripping my weapon tightly and watch it closely

          Then, the arrow stops. Yes! It hit’s on the fear blue line. The fortune arcana is in fear effect!

          “Nice! We can finish this battle easy! Minako-chan used the skill again!” Fuuka shouted, I put my evoker to my head and summon Mot once more

          “Mot! Ghaistly Whail!” I shouted ordered Mot to do the spell again. Mot cast the spell again and instantly killed Fortune. The shadow disappears to thin air.

          Finally we won, we don’t have to put out all of our strength in this battle. I should thank everyone’s luck for this matter. But still that feeling still haunting me…why I feel pain… why I’m trembling…the same question I repeated… *sigh* I kneel down, the skill eats a lot of my energy. I suddenly picture the hazy vision inside my head…a car on fire…a kidcrying over two people in front of her. They were dead…the picture seems to be clearer. The girl was me…

 

         “Ah!” I said suddenly blood coming from my left hand and the watch that Shinjiro-senpai gave came off from my hand. What could this mean…?

         “Minako-chan! Are you ok—“ Fuuka suddenly stop as she reaches to me

         “Fuuka…?” I asked reaching for my watch

         “Didn’t you hear that?” Fuuka said looking around

         “Hear what…?” I said my heart starting to beat even faster

         “I hear gunshot…” Fuuka look towards me

         “Gun…shot…?”I said shocked, quickly gets up “Where!?”

         “I-I dunno…I just hear it…” Fuuka surprised by my reaction

        

         Because of the feeling I have, the feeling I felt pain and fear, the vision of my parent’s death and also the watch came off from my hand automatically. I ran and leave the other’s behind…I don’t know why but my heart saying something is going to happen to Senpai and Ken. I can feel him fading away…I can feel his touch are fading. Isk…I can’t cry now…I have to find Senpai! Please be okay senpai! Please…I’m begging you…Please… Isk…

         I’ve search everywhere, the shrine, the bridge, paulownia mall, the school and also Port island station. But no trace of Shinjiro-senpai and Ken. I stop at Port island station trying to catch my breath…then I suddenly heard a gunshot coming from the valley. The second one..!? No!       Senpai! I ran towards the valley and saw Ken, Shinjiro and Takaya from Strega. Takaya saw me and he flee’s quickly.

       

        “Senpai! Ken!” I shouted as I ran towards them. I saw senpai lying on the floor with blood on his chest. “No! Senpai!”

  

         I reach to him and embrace him to my arms. I saw Ken trembling with fear…

         “Ken! Go get help! Ken! Listen to me!” I shouted but Ken was in shocked “Senpai, Please hang in there…ok…please…hold on. Please…”

       

          Shinjiro smiled…Then, everyone in the SEES group is here. When they saw me holding Shinjiro, they shouted his name. They all were surprised looking at him with a lot of blood.        

         “Shinji!” Akihiko shouted

         “A…ki…” Shinjiro said calling out Akihiko

         “Don’t talk…we’ll get you to the hospital ok?” Akihiko replied

         “…take care of im…” Shinjiro replied with a smile

         “I will…” Akihiko replied while his eyes are watery

         “Ken…remember…let your anger…be your strength…” Shinjiro smiled look at Ken

         “B-But I…” Ken trying to reply but still on shock

         “Just stop talking you! You’re not gonna die! You’re not!...Isk…isk…senpai..” I said tears running through my cheek “Persona!”

          I summoned Kikuri-Hime to heal Senpai. But for some reason it won’t work…I ask Kikuri-Hime to try again and again. I don’t care what happen to me as long as senpai is ok! I won’t let him die! I won’t! I won’t let it happen! I cried looking at him…

          “Minako…don’t cry…” He said lifting his hand to wipe of my tears “This is…how it should be…*cough* *cough* *gasp* *gasp*……”

          

          Suddenly his eyes are blank and his hand fell to the ground…no…it can’t be…

          “Senpai!! Please senpai!! Wake up! No! You can’t! Kikuri-Hime please heal him!” I said to Kikuri-hime asking her to cure but she can’t.

         

          I embrace him tightly and keep on crying…senpai…Why…Why this happen to me…why…senpai…please..come back…don’t leave me…please…Isk..isk…senpai….

          “You can’t….you promise you won’t leave me…you promise…Isk…isk…senpai…don’t go…please…Isk…please comeback …senpai…isk… SENPAIIIIIIIIII!!!!!”I said embrace him tightly shouting his name….

To be continued...

(.....i'm sorry if it's not good enough...I feel my story somehow not that good now..I apologize for that..But do please comment if you want to say anything about my story. Enjoy reading :) )

Senpai....

         Few days have pass, and two days more before the operation. Everyone like usual are getting ready for the next fight. But for some reason on the day of the operation, I feel something bad gonna happen….maybe it’s my imagination. Now, I’m worrying about senpai condition, his being weird lately. Like yesterday, he suddenly asked me to tell story, a story that can make me laugh. I obeyed, I started to tell him everything. Then he suddenly talking weird, like “Not leaving anything behind” “No doubts, no regrets”. I didn’t get it at all. I’m so blur…then he asked me to do him a favor that is “You don’t have to forgive me…but forgive everything else”. I told him that I don’t understand. He only replied that I will understand it soon enough.

        Senpai…what are you thinking inside your head. If only…I can…if only I can hear your thoughts and your past…if only I can feel your pain…if only I can washed away the tears you tried to hide. I just…want to see those laughs and smile during the day you cooked for everyone. Senpai…

       “Minako!”

        I heard someone call out my name, so I turn my back around and saw Yukari, Fuuka and Aria ran towards me. I waved at them

       “Hahaha! You were in a hurry. Where are you going?” Yukari asked with a smile

       “Hahahaha, well I just wanna go back to the dorm quickly so I can rest” I replied covering my sadness with a smile

       “Awww~ really? We were going to asked you out to go shopping together today at Paulownia Mall.” Aria answered

      Paulownia Mall? Now that I remembered…yesterday senpai talked about his pocket watch disappeared and nowhere to be found. I just remembered Officer Kurosawa. He’s been receiving lost and found item right? So maybe he got senpai pocket watch then. So I decide to follow them together.

      When we arrived at Paulownia Mall, I told them that I need to see Officer Kurosawa for a while. I ran and went straight to Kurosawa-san police office

      “Oh! Arisato-san, how may I help you?” Officer Kurosawa said stand up from his desk after seeing me coming in the police station. “You want to buy some new weapon?”

      “No~ I’m here just wanted to ask you something.” I said

      “Hmm? What is it?” Officer Kurosawa said curious

      “Ermmm…do happen to have found a pocket watch? My friend lost it somewhere and the watch is really precious to him. So I thought maybe you have it Kurosawa-san” I said asked him about senpai pocket watch

      “Hmm? A pocket watch is it? Wait here let me go check it for a while.” Kurosawa said walking towards his desk

      I waited for a few minutes and finally he came to me and carry’s a pocket watch in his hand. Is that Senpai pocket watch?

      “Is this the one? Someone found it and gave me this a few days ago.” Kurosawa-san said passes me the pocket watch to me.

      “He didn’t give any details about the pocket watch. But I’m confident this is the one! Thank you so much Kurosawa-san” I sad giving a him a bow of saying thank you

      “I’m happy to help. Hope your friend is happy that you able to retrieve this.” Kurosawa said smiling

      I nodded with a smile, then look at senpai pocket watch. I hope this will make him happy again. He feels down without his pocket watch. Senpai…please be okay…I went out of the police station and regroup back with Yukari, Fuuka and Aria. We went lot of stores in Paulownia Mall. After that, we went back to the dorm together. I saw senpai seating on the dining table eating with Junpei and Akihiko. I quickly ran straight to my room after saying hi to the others.

       “I wonder…what’s wrong with Minako…”Aria said whispering to Yukari and Fuuka

       “Hm…you notice to huh…She smiled but I can feel the sadness through her smile though” Yukari said worrying

       “Maybe…she’s trouble with something…her aunt did say to us that she likes to keep.” Fuuka said recalling back what aunt Luneth said

       “Today let give her some space…I’ll try to talk to her tomorrow at school.” Aria said

       They nodded with a smile.

       Meanwhile, in my room, I was afraid on giving him the pocket watch because what if this one is not what he was looking for. *sigh* whether it’s not the real one or not. I need to try…My heart keep telling me that this is the one. So, I step outside of my room and went downstairs. Suddenly, I saw Shinjiro-senpai going upstairs and our eyes met…

      “Hey..” Shinjiro said somewhat sad

      “S-Senpai…hello” I said bowing

      “What’s wrong?” Shinjiro said looking at me like he notice something wrong

      “Uhmm…well…” I said hesitating if I should give it to him or not

      “Hm?” Shinjiro said, waiting patiently for my answers

      “…..” I silent and stand in front him. I took out the pocket watch in my pocket and handed to him “Is this yours senpai?” 

       When I handed out the pocket watch towards him, his eyes are suddenly widened. He then took the watch from my hand and observes it carefully. IS this it? Is this the pocket watch his trying to find…Please make it yes.

       “This is…!” Shinjiro said still shocked. Then suddenly he grabed my hand “Come with me for a sec…”

       “Ah! Wait where we going?” I said been pulled by Shinjiro and followed him  

        After a few minutes, me and Shinjiro stop at Naganaki Shrine. He brought me here, I wonder why. The place is quiet at night and no one around. We both sit on the bench and started our conversation.

       “Sorry for dragging you…but…” he said looking at his pocket watch “Where did you find this?”

       “It was his…thank goodness…”I whispered in my heart “I recall you lost your watch, when you say it yesterday. So I thought maybe Kurosawa-san the police officer has it. The watch got taken to the police station and that I claim it for you.” I said explain how I get the watch
       “I see…” Shinjiro said toys with the pocket watch “I thought I’d be fine if I never saw this again…But I never imagined that you of all people would bring it to me”

       “….” I silent

       

      Suddenly he stop and he reach to his pocket. It was a blue rectangular box. He handed the box to me

      “This isn’t really to pay you back, but I want you to have this. I was hesitating about if I should give it to you or not.” He said handed the blue box “I thought it’d look good on you…”

      “Ah! Thank you senpai!” I said opening the blue box….it was a leather watch. It’s really cute! “Wow! It’s a cute watch! Hahahaha Thanks senpai! Thanks a lot! I love it!”

      “Yeah…” Shinjiro said embarrassed

     

       I smiled happily, he gave me a cute watch. I’ll cherish it no matter what. Thanks senpai… * smile*.

       “…Look after Aki.” He said looking down at his feet with his sad face “…You know he’s an idiot. You remember the story about the first fight we ever had?”

       “Yeah, I still remember about it” I answered

       “It was because…I stole a doll from a toy store.” He said remembering the past “Aki’s sister couldn’t make any friends. I stole it because I thought it’d make her happy.”

       “Oh…”I said listening to his story

       “Aki found out about it and beat the crap outta me…and he was crying the whole time. Afterwards, we both went back to the store to return it…and to apologize for what I did.” He continues “But then, the toy store’s owner smacked us both. *laugh* he hasn’t changed at all from back then.”

      

       He laugh…and smiled. I’m glad…I thought I never seen those anymore. *smile*

       “He’s stupid, honest, proud, kind…and a crybaby…that’s why someone needs to be by his side.” He said worrying

       “*giggle* don’t worry senpai. We all will always be by his side. Like he always do us” I said closing my eyes smiling while remembering the time he was by my side in Yakushima.

       “Yeah…I’ll be counting on all of you.” Shinjiro said felt relieved “I ain’t worried at all, because I know you’re with him.”

       “Ermm…no.” I said disagreed “Not just me, everyone always there with him especially Aria-chan”

       “Hahaha! Yeah I forgot that blue girl. But anyhow, I’m leaving the rest to you and others.” He said smiling while looking at me kindly
       “Senpai…” I said surprised seeing him smiling “*smile* Yeah!”

        I’m glad I able to make you smile again. I’m glad that I able to be so closed to you now. I really love you senpai…My heart beat so fast whenever I’m with you. Also, I feel safe whenever you right beside me. But I’m too afraid to say those words to you…

       “The wind’s started to pick up…” He said “I kinda want to stay here a little while longer if we can, but…aren’t you cold?”

       Now that he mention about I do feel cold….

 

       “Uhmm…a bit..” I said putting both of my arms around me

       “Hey, you’re gonna catch something. C’mere…” He said softly and kindly looking at me with his eyes. He unbutton his jacket and get closer to me. Then, he embraced me to his arm so that I can share the jacket with him. He smile warmly

       My face was really red, I’m really closed to him. Like really closed to him! Just side by side closer together, I never expected this would happen. But…it was really warm. I love this warm feeling, My body is not that cold anymore. His body was really warm…it make my head landed on his shoulder. I closed my eyes with a smile, I love this warmness coming from him…I wish time would stop now…so that I can enjoy like this with him forever…

                                                                    *******

      

         Yesterday we talked about various things together until I fell asleep on his shoulder. Yesterday was the best, *smile* senpai… It’s lunchtime, I’m at the school rooftop still remembering about yesterday while looking at Shinjiro-senpai present. *giggle*

        “Hm? So here you are my little red eyes!” said the familiar voice embraced me from behind

        “*gasp* Aria! You scared me!’ I said startled when Aria suddenly scared me

        “*giggle* come on, you know I’m just joking around. Beside, I’ve been watching you since this morning, you’ve been smiling and giggling all by yourself. Come on share some adorable scene you got. I know yesterday Shinjiro-senpai dragged you out somewhere. So come on tell me! Tell me! Tell me! What happen to you both yesterday?” Aria said forcing me to tell her the story

       

         I don’t have much of a choice, so I started telling her stories about Shinjiro-senpai being all sad and all. Also about the watch that I claim and also about what happen at the shrine.

 

        “Awww~ Minako that’s so sweet of Shinjiro-senpai! He gave you a watch! awwww~ man I love your relationship~ I really do~” Aria said being all fangirling about me and Shinjiro

        “Hahahaha, me also…I like it very much…” I said smiling while lifted my left hand to the air so that I can see the watch

        “*smile* when will you confess to him Minako?” Aria said suddenly asked about confess to him. My face was all red.
        “Ahh w-what are you saying? Confess? Confess what? I-I don’t know what you mean…” I said quickly look away

        “Come on! Don’t look away! Look at me Minako” Aria said putting both of her hands around her waist but I didn’t care and still look away. “Look….at….me…”

 

        Because I was afraid she would kill me, I turn around and look at her directly. She smiled

        “Now that wasn’t so bad is it?” She said smiling

        “*sigh* I don’t know when…I’m just afraid to tell him. What if he rejects me?” I said looking down.

        “But Minako…you wouldn’t know if you don’t try. Come on I’m always be there for you. Just tell him” Aria said encourage me to confess with a smile

        “But….” I said sad

        “Come on! I’m here I can help you!” Aria said holding both of my hand giving me courage

         I’m still worried about the idea to confess to him, I didn’t know what to do. I really do love him…but what if he couldn’t accept it. I’m afraid…now I know how it feels when you wanted to confess someone that you love. I feel lost, confused, afraid too…Arrgghhh!!! The feeling!
         After school, I went back home with Aria. When we arrived, we saw Shinjiro-senpai at the lounge with Koromaru watching TV. Aria pushed me to go and sit beside him. She took my bag and went upstairs. I bravely sit beside him not saying a word but just watch TV. Even senpai didn’t say a thing. Then my phone ringing, it was from Aria.

         “Good luck Minako-chan! I know you can do it. I’ll be staying in my room for a while. Anything just give me a holla. I’ll be there ASAP. You better confess to him, be brave!” Aria said sending a text message

         Her pushed and support make me smile and brave. Well…a bit…but I got to try! *breathe* Here goes…

 

        “Se—“ I was about to call him but suddenly someone just pop out of nowhere and ruin the moment….

        “Man I love ramen! Oh hey Minako, mind if I sit in the middle. I wanna watch Tv while waiting for the ramen to be done.” Akihiko said calmly sitting between me and Shinjiro-senpai

        “*sigh* ramen again? Seriously Aki you need to eat some balance food like veggies and all like Minako.” Shinjiro said sighed  

        “You should look at yourself too, you’ve been eating at Hagakure all the time. So we both the same” Akihiko said grab his ramen on the table

        Haha…haha…mi—mission…fail….

        “Hm? What’s wrong with you Minako? You look…really…gloomy.” Akihiko said seeing me all emo

        “Haha…really…? It’s…nothing…really nothing…I’m…fine…” I said looking down at my feet feel all depressed. Damn…you…Akihiko-senpai….

        “*whimpering*” Koromaru whimper seeing me so emo

        Shinjiro-senpai just look at me being all gloomy. Damn…Akihiko-senpai…why do you have to pop out of nowhere…that my chance…and you blew it….cursed you…senpai…. Suddenly I felt my phone buzzing, I took it out of my pocket and saw Aria message me.

       “Hey. How’s the situation? Ok?” She said in her message

      “….no…” I replied

      “Hm? What’s wrong? Don’t tell me he—“ she replied with many dots

      “No….Akihiko-senpai interfered…isk…isk…” I said putting a crying face along the way

     “What the…that love destro—I mean Akihiko-senpai. Don’t worry! Help is on the way!” Aria       replied in her message

        Suddenly, I felt a sound coming from upstairs. It’s like someone is running really fast. Then a strong wind coming our way, It was Aria running and quickly grab Akihiko-senpai.

       “AkihikosenpailetsgooutandeatatHagakure! Bye Shinjiro-senpai! Bye Minako-chan!” Aria said so quick went out grab Akihiko

       Me and Shinjiro eyes are widened, seeing Akihiko-senpai been kidnapped by Aria. He was about to eat the ramen he made but….wow Aria…you make us both shocked. What are THE FLASH!?

      “T—That was to fast…haha Aria-chan…” I said laughing awkwardly but I can’t lose my focus I need to say the word to him now!

       “*sigh* what is wrong with those two?” Shinjiro said sighed and turn his head towards me “Hm?”

       “…..” I was silent but my eyes met his eyes. I trying to say the word..but I’m too scared! “…S-senpai…I…”

       “Huh?” Shinjiro said looking at me

       “I…I…”Words why won’t you come out!!

       “Hey…shouldn’t you be with the others? Like go shopping and all. You should go with Aria and Akihiko at Hagakure. I…can’t give you anything or do anything for you.” He said suddenly looks away

       I silent…maybe…it would be… “You can do it!”. Suddenly those words pop inside my head. I recall what Aria said when we were at the rooftop. Her support gave me strength. If I don’t do it now, I might regret later. Like she said “You wouldn’t know if you don’t try”. I remembered that I used those words to Akihiko-senpai when I ask him to go out with her. Hahaha thanks Aria for always been by my side.

      “But…I want to spend time with you” I said bravely

      “*sigh*” he sighed looking at me with his eyes “…You can stare at me like that all day. I got nothing for you. Haven’t you waste enough time on me? What more do you want?”

     

      I stand and silent…I need to say it. My heart pumping really fast, I know it’s hard…but I have to do it! Now or Never!

     “*breathe* Senpai..I..” I said my heart pumping even faster…please mouth..please say the word “I love you!”

     Finally I shouted and let out the feeling I had inside me. Shinjiro senpai eyes widened when hearing it. His face turns to red and stand

     “…Huh?....”he said shocked “D-Don’t tease me like that!”

     “I’m not teasing you! I’m saying the truth!” I replied with a serious look in my face just to cover my shy face

     “Urghh…”He said rubbing his head and standup “I mean, why just blurt out something like that? Here, of all places…?”

     “Then, can I go to your room?” I said suddenly it come out right from my mouth. What am I saying!?

     “What? Y-You moron.” He said suddenly his face turn bright red “I…I ain’t a nice guy. I can’t let you in my room…Don’t you get it?”

     “I still want to go.” I said, I swear my mouth just blurt it out by itself. I didn’t mean to say it!

     “No way. It’s not gonna happen. Look, you need to watch yourself. Don’t bother with someone like me.” He replied quickly avoiding from eye contact

     “I still love you, Senpai!” I said automatically, when I said say the word…it doesn’t mean you do all the talking mouth….

     “Idiot…” He said rubbing his head and grabs my hand.

      He gave up the quarrel and brought me to his room. I got to say, after this I need to thank my mouth for making excuses just to enter his room. I finally inside Shinjiro-senpai room, I can’t believe this. Even so is practically empty and I can only see the bed and the desk only. Wow! I’m so happy thanks mouth! I give you a treat on whatever you want to eat! *smile happily*

      “…So? Happy now?” He said standing behind me closing the door

      “*smile*” I can only smile happily. I’m so happy I can’t even say a thing

      “You’re always pushing me around all the time…You’re just gonna ignore what I want, huh?” He said looking at me smiling

      “Hmm…maybe..” I said have a sit on the floor

      “*sigh* Yeah, well, two can play that game.” He murmured

      “Hm? What did you—“ I said suddenly Shinjiro embraces me tightly from behind

      “This is your fault, you know. I’m all confused” Shinjiro said softly

      “Senpai…” I shocked

      “You’re all I can think about, day and night.” He continues “Dammit, this isn’t how it’s supposed to be.”

      Shinjiro suddenly release me from his arms…

      “You get it, right? Go back to your room.” He said look away “If you don’t go now, you’re not gonna get another chance.”

     

      I turned my body and look towards at him. He was shy and trying to hold back his feelings. He maybe…doesn’t want to hurt me. I get it…all this time…you hold the same feeling as I am. You love me but you didn’t have the courage…senpai...*smile*

     “I’m…I’m not going anywhere! I’m staying…”I said, I want to hear the word’s directly from your mouth. I already do my part…now it’s your turn..senpai..

     “*sigh*…you’re a real piece of work, you know that…?” He sighed “I’m gonna make myself clear…I ain’t holding back any more.”

      He approached to me closer and closer, until our eyes are really close to each other. I stood still in my position and finally he kissed…

      “I love you…Minako”
