I didn't know then it would hurt like this but I think The older I get Maybe I'll get over it It's been way too long for the times we missed I can't believe it still hurts like this     Shinkuto walked down the hallway late after school after he had finished his word as the student council president. There was simply way too much to do, and he had to do some of the work for others, the ones he question in how they had even gotten into the school let alone the student council. To say that it was an annoyance would had been quite the understatement as really, he wanted them expelled or something. It also didn't help that Ai had decided to play a little prank on him which only caused a mess and so he had to stay later than usual. He looked outside for a moment hoping that it would calm him down. From the fields he can see some of the sports club still out there. He can see Clare running on the track and some of the kendo members leaving. Although what caught his eyes was the archery club that seems to have just finished up as well. He suppose he could go ahead and walk her home. Just to make sure nothing bad happens to her, not that he didn't think she couldn't defend herself but it was simply precautions. As a future politician, he was one that would rather be safe than sorry unlike a certain idiot. He headed down rather quickly but still walking since he wouldn't want to look like he was in some sort of rush nor did he wish to get sweaty in the summer heat. That would had been rather disgusting. Yet at the same time he did not wish to miss the girl. He didn't want to call her out either since well, he wasn't really one to raise his voice above room level. Lucky for him when he exited, he was able to quickly spot out the girl because of the purple hair. He walked over and called out to her "Miyuki, are you walking home alone?" Where was Yoite? Oh yeah, he was probably still busy with the host club so he couldn't really walk the girl home. She turned over to him and gave him a small friendly smile. "Yeah. What about you?" she asked looking around for a moment. "What happened to Hikari-san?" Hikari Tetsumi, she was one of his classmates who he had decided to date. Not because he liked her. Shinkuto was incapable of such emotions. Besides, love wasn't something needed in the game of politics anyway. No, the reason why he dated her was because she was a daughter of a politician and therefore he can have some connections through her. Although he had yet to evaluate if the connections were good or bad yet as he hasn't met her parents. They have only dated for a week and so it was just a bit too soon. "I told her I would be late so she left before me." he answered. The girl stared at him for a moment with a small pout on her lips. "Shinkuto if you're going to date her, you shouldn't put work before her. I mean, don't you want to spend time with her?" she scolded him. The male looked away for a bit. She was being motherly again...which did give him some comfort her suppose as he was used to it from her. Still, he didn't really care for his date let alone actually putting work before that girl. I'll keep that in mind." he replied back while in the back of his mind he tried to think of a way to take control of the situation. From the corner of his eyes he can see her staring at him for a moment before sighing as if she knew that he wasn't really listening. Well actually, chances are she probably did. "Anyway since we're both alone how about we walk home together?" she offered. Inwardly he sighed in relief since that was what he wanted to say but well...she kind of took control of the situation and he has yet to make an excuse on why they should walk home together as well. "I suppose we should." he replied slowly which only made the Tsukami's smile widen. "So when are you going to go on another date with Hikari-san?" she asked. That wasn't really a conversation the president wanted. Still he couldn't refuse to answer her. She had some of her mother's abilities after all. "This weekend." he answered. To be more exact on Sunday, they planned to go to the park and get to know each other more even if he could hardly care about the girl. It bothered him though whenever she asked about his dates. Not that he had problem talking about who he was currently dating. He would be able to do that with ease but around her he couldn't help but wonder. Did she care or was she just trying to make some conversation? In the back of his mind, the memory plagued Shinkuto. On how he realized that he can't really be with her. He was a politician and she was a daughter of a yakuza. It would cause problems even if the girl wanted to separate herself from it. As usual, he put work before others. When he was young he had declared that one day he would marry her, possibly because he was annoyed on how someone like Yoite could get a fiance while he didn't or maybe he really did like her. He was just a kid, as if he would know any better right? At least that was what he figured anyway and when he grew up he realized they couldn't be together. He couldn't fulfill that childish promise and told her so. That it was something childish and well, he didn't want her to wait for him. When he told her, she didn't cry. She didn't get mad, she didn't look sad, she didn't yell at him, she didn't run away. If she had done that he probably wouldn't had felt as bad. If she had done that, it wouldn't had affected him so. No, instead she had smiled and nodded saying "I understand." As if she wasn't affected at her. He knew the girl was mature...but to accept it to easily. He was actually speechless and had just nodded. Then when he got his first girlfriend, she congratulated him and never showed any signs of jealousy. Why? Did she not care? Did she not have feelings for him? Or maybe...she really did think it was because if was some childish promise. "Really? Where are you taking her?" she asked piercing his thoughts. "The park." he answered numbly. Really, only reason why he chose the park was because they didn't have to do much there but sit and talk. They continued onto other topics such as the student council, the archery club, how school was, how Momoko has been and just about any topics they can think of really. "Ah this is my stop. I'll see you tomorrow Shinkuto." she waved before entering the house. The president watched her enter the house before walking back home. To be honest, he suppose he was lucky that she was unfazed...and yet as he reached into his pockets he can feel that ring from so long ago. Tch, just what was he thinking still keeping the thing. The smooth surface of the accessory rubbing against his fingers....he really should throw it away now but but well...he was never that good at letting things go. TAGS: something. CHARACTERS: shinkuto and miyuki. LYRICS: the older i get by skillet. NOTES: cuz i have fascination of sad couples.

Miyuki asked as she had already changed. The club ended a little earlier than usual so she figured this was a good chance to catch up with her schoolwork. With that she waved to the rest of the members before walking out. She needed to hurry home so she can use her time as wisely as she can and who knows, maybe if she finishes her work quickly she can cook with Mako. She does love to cook with her since her opinion she was a rather decent cook although she does mess up at complicated ingredients. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a familiar voice though. "Miyuki, are you walking home alone?" She turned around to see that it was Shinkuto and gave him a smile. Although what was he doing so late? Since it was still the beginning of school the council didn't have much to do at the moment. She looked around a moment before opening her mouth to ask a question herself. "What happened to Hikari-san?" The two of them were dating after all. Shouldn't they always be together? Although she didn't know the girl very much she looked like she fit with the president rather well. She had that air of grace around her and she didn't touch him, most likely because she knew his dislike of being touched. The two fit well together and she can only hope that unlike the last few he would stay with her. After all, she heard that Tetsumi was a daughter of a politician and they were both in the same class even. What could be better than that right? "I told her I would be late so she left before me." She pouted. That wasn't romantic at all. If they were in love they should always be together no matter what! "Shinkuto if you're going to date her, you shouldn't put work before her. I mean, don't you want to spend time with her?" she scolded him. He was like that with a lot of girls. Work always came before everything, what if one day because of work he loses someone really important to him? The Tsukami suddenly remembered how he had once declared to marry her. They were young and had exchanged rings. Of course when she told Yoite, he didn't believe her stating that the devil couldn't marry anyone. Although when she showed him the ring he had threatened to kill the Nakamura if she had not begged him not to kill her future husband. He told her that if the devil ever kissed her, he was going to kill him and was against the marriage completely even telling her she was too young for such things despite the fact that his marriage was decided when he was just a toddler. Well, in the end he didn't have to worry because it was never going to happen. Even though they had exchanged toy rings and she wore it every day. Even when someone had asked her out, she stated that she was taken. Then one day Shinkuto told her that it was just a childish promise and that they should both dropped it. His words stung her. For a moment she couldn't think and watched him go on about how he had his future as a politician and that they were just kids, they didn't know any better. She used that time to recover herself, smiled and nod. "I understand." Those were her words because she did. She understood where he was coming from, even though she didn't consider herself a yakuza, even though she didn't want to be one, the fact was, the girl was a daughter of a yakuza and that would never change. She didn't want to ruin his dreams and so she agreed to it. Even though she wanted to cry so much she held it back. If she was to cry, it would burden him and she didn't want that. If she cried, they might not be able to at least be friends anymore and Yoite might try to kill him. So in the end she never cried, not even once. She had walked home and went to her room right away but she never cried. Although her brother did point out that something was wrong with her and she had to practically run away from him so that she didn't have to answer. Luckily he never pressed on. I'll keep that in mind." the green haired male replied although he didn't really sound like he meant it at all. She stared at him with doubt written on her face. If she doesn't keep people close to him, he wouldn't make a good politician and since she couldn't be close to him anymore, she wanted someone else to be. Someone who would help him. For now though she didn't press on. "Anyway since we're both alone how about we walk home together?" she asked. She didn't like to walk alone very much so walking with Shinkuto shouldn't be bad. Besides, maybe she'll be able to convince him to keep his latest date close. Maybe they might even get married and she can be the bride's maid...would he invite her though? She can feel herself faltering at that thought. Would it be awkward since she had promised to marry her even though they were just kids? O-of course he would right? "I suppose we should." came his answer which made her smile even more as the two walked off. Luckily their houses were in the same direction although it wasn't really close to one another. "So when are you going to go on another date with Hikari-san?" she asked. She wanted to know how often the two meet up with each other. At least once a week outside of school right? "This weekend." Good so they were at least meeting with each other this week. "Really? Where are you taking her?" she pressed on. Was it a restaurant? Somewhere romantic?"The park." Well that was kind of a disappointing answer but still she nodded nonetheless. It was better than nothing. The park wasn't too bad anyway, it was fun and maybe they can play on the swings together or something. "Ah this is my stop. I'll see you tomorrow Shinkuto." she announced once she made it. She waved to him before entering the door. Miyuki greeted Shuurin before excusing herself to do work but promising him that once she was done she would play some card games with him. When she entered her room she stared at the window as he walked away. She watched him until he was out of her view before going to work. As she went though her homework though, she couldn't help but pray...that maybe one day he would find someone to be happy with. Someone who won't be an obstacle for him...someone who would actually help him unlike her. TAGS: something. CHARACTERS: shinkuto and miyuki. LYRICS: the older i get by skillet. NOTES: same thing just miyuki's side.
