-Kaminari : Warakuma High-

"Yeah, sorry about that, Sachiko is just... Well... (How do I explain this? I mean I can't tell her straight out what happened, nor do I want to lie to her... What to do.)"

His mind trailed off somewhere else trying to figure out what to tell the girl. No one in their right mind would believe an insane story like his, unless you were one of the four who got dragged in or Kazuki. He pondered on what course of action to take next before coming with a quick and snappy answer.

"She's just bothered by something that happened last night, or something along the lines of it... I talked to her about it too since I was sort of there. I'm sure she won't get angry at you anymore (as long as you don't do anything to provoke her)."

As he finished up his statement he took a look at the flyer the girl handed him over. Kami scanned it over, looking seemingly interested at the thing. He then put the thing into his bag before trying to conjure up a question. Did he have any questions thought up for the time being? He quickly dismissed the idea, and just nodded his head in a no fashion, smiling lightly.

"Nah, I've got none for now... However, if I do come up with any, I'll be sure to tell you, alright Hamada-san? "

As the conversation finished up, Kami began to pivot around and walk away. Before he could take a second step, a familiar sweet voice fill the air behind him. He quickly turned to face Ayano who had captured his attention, and noticed she was holding a wrapped up something. As she spoke, her face began glowing with a crimson hue before giving the gift to him and fleeing the scene. Kami reached out to try and ask her to wait, but alas, he was too late. The girl he adored was out of sight, and was of somewhere else. Kami sighed, before realizing that he was blushing lightly also.

"Uhm, I gotta go for now, seeya later Leiko-san!"

The boy became a bit scatter brained after the chance encounter, forgetting that she didn't like to be called that. The boy quickly ran off somewhere, and disappeared from sight, his thoughts running just as fast as he did.

-Kaminari : Warakuma High = Roof-

The boy quickly took a seat on a bench on top of the lonely roof which over looks the whole school. He plopped the sword down next to him and pulls out his lunch and began eating. As he ate, he stared at the different birds that passed on by him, and noted each of them. Many of his lingering thoughts kept his mind preoccupied as he ate his meal. The boy silently contemplated on what he could of done, he could of said, instead of letting it slip through his fingers.

"(God admit, which didn't I say something to her? I thought I was over this, ready to move on... But it seems I'm still trapped in the past, within my sorrows.)" Kami sighed as he turned his head to the sword and smiled a bit. "( I should of told you thank you, and how this gift meant a lot to me... I know it was my birthday yesterday, but still the she's fact that she remembered makes my heart lift. Does she not hate me? Does she actually still like me as a friend?.. That settles it.)" Kami disposed of his food at the nearest trashcan on the roof before quickly obtaining his backpack and gift and stared up into the sky in defiance. "(I won't run this time... I'll face her, and I'll tell her. At least she'll know what I said, and hopefully she will believe it...)"

"I won't leave your side ever again, that's a promise Ayano-Chan."

-Kaminari : Warakuma High = Kendo Club Room-

Kami quickly made his way to the school, recalling the annoying offers his friends Makoto gave him when recommending that he should join the Kendo club. It had been a while since he had performed kendo, plus it was his last year here and feel like giving it another go be for he departed. As he rushed throughout the school, he finally found himself at the entrance to the club. He quickly entered the room, hoping that Makoto was still inside.

----

As he stepped in, he noticed that the room felt a bit more emptied than usual, as if most of the life had been sucks out. The room was barren, with naught a single soul in sight. He thought that there soul of been more people in here due to the recruiting that they did last year, but Kami just shrugged before doing some investigating of the room, and noticed some paperwork on a desk. He took a quick glance at it, noticing a bunch of familiar names. Where had he seen them before? As he struggled to recall, he quickly left the room hastily, hoping no students or teachers noticed what he did in that room.

"(Those names... Where have I seen them, think... Wait a second, how did I not notice this before?! Those are the people who have been afflicted!)"
