Chapter Nineteen:
RINA’S POV
It was almost sunset when I woke up. You can’t blame me if I woke up in the afternoon. After returning back to my room, I was giggling like idiot reminiscing what had happened by the shore. To be exact, the moment when Kento hugged me. Oh , since when did I start to call him Kento? Oh, well. and that’s it. I almost had all the positions in bed but I still can’t get over with it. I was too happy about everything. Though i haven’t had an answer for my question, I felt complete. What the hell is really happening?
Jeez, why am I asking myself when I just know the answer? Sigh, but it isn’t right, is it? I don’t want to be involved in some relationship just now. I may have been saying that I have already moved one, but I know deep inside, Kenichi got this little space in my heart. He’s special.
Sigh, I can still stop this, can’t I? I know I can. To think that it has just started. Yosh, I’ll do my best to stop this before this one struck on me so deep.
“Rina.”
When I heard that, my heart skipped a bit. And just the same, I stripped my foot on the step of the stairs. But even before I give the floor a warm hug, an arm wrapped around my waist.
“Gotcha.”
My body stiffened. Having him near me always makes me like this. Kento…
“You, sleepy pig, have slept for more then 13 hours yet you’re still sleepy?” he said in a low and soft voice, almost a whisper. Still, his arm was still around me. Seconds passed and another arm surrounded me. “You should be careful, ne?”
“Uh.” That’s what all I can say. My brain went haywire and I don’t know how to react. Kento! Why are you doing this to me? And kokoro, please stop beating that way or else you’ll get out of my chest!
Okay, Rina, gather yourself. “I won’t slip if you don’t scare the hell out of me. You look like a mushroom. You’ll just pop somewhere!”
I giggled when he chuckle. Slowly, he removed his arms around me. I let a sigh of relief.
“I was here even before you came so you can’t call me ‘mushroom’. You were just too occupied of whatever you are thinking that’s why.” He said as a matter of fact. “Or maybe, you were thinking of me that’s why?!”
In an instant, I punched him on the face.

“Ken-chan, what happen to your face?” Fuma asked in rather an annoying tune. “What happened to that gorgeous face of yours?”
“Urusai!” Kento hissed as he massaged his nose with bandage.
“What stupidity have you done today that you had that petty thing on your nose?” Ryuuka asked as she placed our dinner on the dinning table.
“This is not a petty thing.” He pointed his nose. “This one is a bandage in case you didn’t know. I understood that you grew up in other planets.”
“You want me to pull off your nose, Nakajima Kento, huh?!”
The whole group giggled. Of course, that whole group excluded me. I, Uchiyama Rina, am guilty. Oh gosh, I bet millions of fan girls would come chasing after my life after what I have done to Bakajima. God, please spare me from his dangerous fans. I want to have a good life in the future. I still have a lot of dreams to make. What kind of air had entered my head that I just punched him all of a sudden? Jeez. I’m dead when we go back in Tokyo. Or maybe, I shouldn’t go back there? I’ll head Philippines first! But, didn’t Kenichi once mention before that B.I. Shadow also got a lot of fans there? Ahhhh! Where in the world can I hide?! Should I start living in the forest, with dangerous animals? Or should I build my dream house under the Pacific Ocean? Waaaaaa~ What should I do?!
“Rina-chan, you have been quiet, are you alright?” Miyoko asked in concerned.
“U-Uh.” I nodded hesitantly. I am not good at lying, honestly.
“Blame that Little Girl for this petty thing.” Kento smirked at me, pressing the cold compress against his injured nose.
“You did that?!” Ryuuka exclaimed. I nodded. I thought she’ll beat me or something for doing that to her cousin but… “I love you for that, Rin-chan! You’re the best girl!”
“Oi! Aren’t you my cousin? Just why are you siding on her?” Kento complained, pointing Ryuuka and I.
Ryuuka chirped. “I already disowned you as my cousin long ago. And I can’t consider a cousin as someone like you.”
