My heart does flip flopping leaps inside my chest. And I am torn. So very torn.

I want to stay at Takeru's side.

I want to let Ryuunosuke be at Chiaki's side.

But I also want to be at my best friend's side. Now that she's free.

"Take-chan..." I grip Takeru's shoulder a bit more firmly, and kiss the corner of his mouth. I would kiss him harder, and more deeply, but I know Ryuunosuke is uncomfortable still with how close I am to his lord.

"Don't you dare leave while I'm gone." I say, quietly and firmly, to Takeru, before pulling away.

I grip at Ryuunosuke's shoulder, and then leave him with Takeru, dashing of down the hall toward Chiaki's room.
