[i]"I am going to kill you Isamu!"[/i] The words imprinted themselves into Kyle's mind like a hot iron as the "lobster kid" made his exit away from the two. The energy from his boiling rage and crimson face was all directed towards Isamu for his comments. Despite the fact that Isamu had said it only in jest and in another language, it was still inappropriate and unfortunately, extremely embarrassing for Kyle. Most probably wouldn't have heard it, even less would have understood it, but to say that in front of Ami.... oh... right...

For a moment his bubbling anger settled as he looked down at the girl before him; he had to calm down before doing this. Closing his eyes he took a deep breath, exhaled, then opened them back up, pointing them towards Ami. "In a way...he's right," he began, "look... after what happened I..." he paused, [i]"damn this is hard...man the fuck up already!"[/i]

He breathed again, "Ami, I'm sorry, but yes I have been avoiding you," good start, "after what happened in the cafeteria I couldn't bring myself to face you again, I was...ashamed...embarassed...angry..." yea that one's obvious, "I lost my temper...I took it out on you and I'm so...so damn sorry for that," keep going, keep going, "I don't deserve forgiveness for that...but...I'll do whatever it takes to make it up to you, cause you didn't deserve that..."

He took a step back and bowed low, it was something he had once read in a book, something about formal apologies in Japanese culture, it couldn't hurt to do that right?

"I'm sorry..."
