Tenka pov:

It was morning already. When I opened my eyes,she was already gone. I guessed I slept quite deeply.

I passed by her room and realised she was still sleeping. I decide to go wake her up. I go in and shake her a little.

' don't disturb me. Korosu. ' she said in a cold voice.

-_- lll okay...

Tenka: wake up. It's already morning.

She opens her eyes ' morning... '

Tenka: why did you leave?

Takaya :gomen. It was time to wake up during dawn so I did. I went to find something to do and went to town. It was so... Quiet.

Tenka: that's cos everyone's still asleep. Baka.

Takaya: baka....?

Tenka: oh shit. I'm joking. It means to...

Suddenly she hugs me ' tenka... Can I stay here forever? '

Tenka: takaya...

I stroke her hair ' of course you can. '

Takaya: I feel so happy here. There's people who actually care about me. Of course... I guess gerokichi... Knows I'm a monster that's why.

Tenka: you're not a monster. You're a human.

Takaya: tenka... Tenka daiski.

Tenka: arigato. Oremo takaya daiski.

Takaya: liar... 

Takaya pov:

The same level to soramaru and chuutaro...  I know.

But... I want more...

Takaya: mmmm...  I just notice things.

Nishiki: I see.

Takaya: this like...  Is it a family like? Somehow I feel is different.

Nishiki: right. Takay doesn't understand. Well... *blush* its something different. I...  Have a crush on him.

Takaya: crush?

Nishiki: its like a different kind of love. Except it's one sided. How do I say it... Its like a special kind of feeling.

Takaya: I see. Than... It lets you go hot at your cheeks? Heart thump faster?  And...perhaps make you think about him a lot.

Nishiki: you do know it well. Hn... Don't tell me... You like someone too? Who?

Takaya: *blushed * not really...

Nishiki: he's in the shrine?

Takaya: *blushed * not really...

Nishiki: eh... Can't be chuutaro. Soramaru?  * nervous *

Takaya: no.

Nishiki: you have a crush on tenka. Don't you?

Takaya: *blushed * not really... Like that. He's just... Very nice.

Nishiki: I promise to keep your secret. Hehe.

Tenka: you seem happy. How's nishiki and you?

Takaya: fun. I learnt a lot of things from her. I guess I need to work harder if I want to become more human.

He pats her head ' gambatte. Human. '

Takaya: *smiles * hai.
