"How would you feel if you've been waiting for the love of your life for nine yers and when he does get here, he completely changed. Ditching you for some other girl!" she cried. Kimiko hid her face inside her hand while tears streamed gently down her cheeks. It hurts to say and yell at him, but she needed to let it all out. "I lOve you, but you're not tue same person I fell in love with..." she whispered while she wiles her tears.

Kenji didn't like her words, or the way he felt once she said them. He felt as if his flaws were being pointed out, and he felt guiltier than ever. "It was an impulse decision! It wasn't expected! I made the decision to change once I'd been on my own for that long." He snapped, feeling horrible.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

Kimiko looked at Kenji scared. He was yelling at her, but she. Deserved it. But it still hurts. Then she turned her head and closed he eyes, "Well, I'm sorry then..." she said softly. Getting up from the couch she headed for the stairs while she wiped the tears from her cheeks.

[Hikaru Kurosaki]

Kenji nearly felt like pulling his hair out. Too many things were happening at once, and he didn't understand half of what he was feeling. "No, I'm sorry." He mumbled, clamping his eyes shut.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

Kimiko sat on the stair case with her back towards him. She curled up in a ball and closed her eyes crying. Then she wiped them off and hugged her knees tightly.

[Hikaru Kurosaki]

Kenji let out a sigh, standing up. "I'm sorry for yelling at you." He said, taking a seat near her. "I didn't mean to sound cruel." He added, rubbing her tears away with his thumb. "Please stop crying. You're too pretty for that."

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

Kimiko continued to looked down. She slowly pulled his hand away from her cheeks and looked away. "It's okay...I deserved it..." her voice trailed off. Even though she wanted to be made at him, she still loved him. Her heart was still beating loud for him.

[Hikaru Kurosaki]

Kenji shook his head. "You didn't." He said, peering at her. "I'm asking you to forgive me." He said feeling his face burn. "Please?"

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

"Ill always forgive you...no matter what...." she responded and looked down. It was true, no matter how painful he hurts her she'll still forgive him. It was painful, but at the same time she loved it. It was a bitter-sweet love between them.

Kimiko placed her hand on his cheek and kissed it as she go up and headed for her room.

[Hikaru Kurosaki]

Kenji felt nearly depressed that Kimiko had forgave him so easily. He didn't feel like he deserved it. He watched Kimiko go upstairs, and wondered if he should follow. "Don't tell me you're leaving, okay? I'll be glad to defend you if someone's bullying you." He said, hesiantly walking up the stairs.
