"I know, I know. Chizu does the same thing. Though she's never as nice." Damon said, remembering some of Chizu's teasing. Especially about his hair. Or whenever they sparred. Or on just about anything. The girl truly was like a little sister to him. Both in the good ways and the bad.

"Mmm, I see." Damon said with a nod regarding the classes, chuckling a little bit from Haru's little show. It seemed the bird had itself a short temper. He could get that, especially considering how Kage could be when she was bored. It could sometimes be like dealing with a child. On a sugar rush. And the attention span of a hummingbird.

Speaking of the small elemental, she was giggling nonstop at Kage's little display. The reaction was priceless! Aether never responded to teasing like this! He was too old and stuffy! Then again he was like, one thousand times older than she and Haru were. Maybe they would be that way when they got that old?

....NAAAAAAH.

After a short while Damon finished his bit of the breakfast and stood up, taking his dishes and Kage's to the sink. "Anything else I can do for you? I have a bit more time before I have to get ready to head off to school." Damon asked, curious. Kage, meanwhile, headed upstairs with another wave to Kaede. It was time to learn how to be a shadow elemental person thingy. That's what Mr. Tonberry was teaching her today!

Kaede can only smile at Damon's comment about Chizu. Oh that girl.

"Only a girl who treats you like an elder brother would be able to do what she does to you. In a way, it's a blessing." She comments. At least, that's what she thinks about Chizu, her younger sister that she would do whatever to protect. It has been that way before she left. It is still that way right now.

"No, I am good. I think I need to get ready for school too." The girl says, her eyes looking at the leaving Kage as she answers Damon's question. Things are changing, and are changing way too quickly. It is as if she has not been here for more than 3 years, when she has only left for about 1.5 years. The changes are way too drastic.

What about Damon? What about him that changed?

Kaede looks at Damon, her eyes filled with a strange mix of concern and uncertainty. What does he feel about her right now? She knew that she couldn't get him out of her mind. She couldn't bring herself to be with any other person, even though numerous people have asked her out during her time away from Hyakuji. She couldn't even think of kissing anyone other than Damon, even though the amount of times when she kissed him was countable by the fingers.

What if I kiss him right now? Kaede couldn't help but to think about that. What would happen if I kiss him now? What if I no longer get the feeling that I got from him before? What if he is in love with someone else?

But I am a teacher assistant. I can't possibly be in love with a student. It is against the society's view to do that, even though we are in the same age and experienced the same thing. What would I bring upon both myself and him if I step beyond this boundary? Would this be painful for him? Will this be selfish of me?


Numerous questions constantly shows up as debates against each other as Kaede stands up and looks at the back of Damon. She couldn't think of what she wants to do. Can she do something right now? But if she does something, she may bring Damon into all sorts of trouble, especially since now apparently someone wishes to hunt for her life.

But isn't it even more the reason why she should find out what she and he both thinks, and get onto the same page? What if she loses her life without finding out what Damon now feels? What if, by not finding out how they both feels, she makes him guilt and regret?

Haru seems to notice the hesitation that Kaede had in her, and dissolved back into Kaede's body before Kaede even noticed. It seems to be up with something.

The body of Kaede moved by itself, and Kaede stepped forward. She grabs Damon by his shoulder, turns him around, keeps him close to her by holding his hand, and presses her lips against his.

"Yeah..." Damon said with a small smile. It wasn't the ideal form of family, but it was all he had left. Even if they were not related, they still were as close as family could be. Even if it was not much, it was his, and he treasured it deeply. He kept washing his dishes, content on that thought for the moment.

Damon made a nod as he kept his focus on the soapy water in front of him. "Alright then. I hope your day goes over well." He said, as he removed the plates, and dried them off, as well as his hands. He enjoyed this morning, even if it started out bad. He wished times more like this could occur, but...

...Well, it couldn't be helped.

He felt a hand on his shoulder just as he thought that, before turning and finding himself in a kiss. His eyes were widened by a bit, but he made no real effort to stop it. If anything, he seemed to reciprocate the kiss. This was....sudden. Not complaint worthy by any means, but also a surprise.

He pulled his head back after a moment or two with some reluctance, looking at Kaede, completely silent. This was...nice. Probably the single nicest thing that had happened since school started. His mind was completely blank, due to the surprise of it, and seemed to be a few seconds behind. She really was gorgeous.

Maybe they could still be together. Maybe it would work out fine?

... Unfortunately, Damon's head caught up with him. He remembered the mess caused at the festival when it came to Nickle and Chizu. It ended with Nickle quiting and his cousin taking over. Kaede didn't have that kind of luxury. This was for her degree. Damon's face changed to one of frustration, as he looked away from her.

"I....We can't...not yet" He said, really disliking that he said that. "You remember what happened when Nickle and Chizu were found out. The chaos, havoc, what Tsukasa-sensei did. The rumors, the questions...I don't want to put you through that. I don't want to mess with your future." He said, with a sigh.

God damn it. What he would have given just to find a way to make this all work. It was true that he'd be graduating soon. He just couldn't stand how things were now.

Kaede's eyes widened when she found her own lips pressing against his. Why did she do that!?

But then, when Damon received her kiss, she couldn't help but to close her eyes and enjoy the single moment. The feeling was still the same, if not even stronger than before. Thank goodness, he still felt the same way. She could tell.

Their lips parted.

Kaede almost wished that second lasted for eternity, or that she could continue it by kissing him again. It was such a pleasuring moment that she would never wish to let go. Suddenly, nothing else really matters to her anymore. The sheer moment of their lips touching made her the happiest person ever.

But then, Damon's voice rang against her ears, its pitches so sharp and harsh that pierced her bubbles of happiness. The voice left Kaede all alone with a shattered illusion, almost too painful for her to even think that it was but a second ago that she felt blessed.

She turned her face around, avoiding Damon's eyes. She knew how pained and depressed she must look right now, because she could feel the tears quickly rushing up into her eyes.

"I understand all very well," Using the most peaceful and normal voice she could muster, Kaede replied. "I just wanted to know... if we are still on the same page about what's between us."

Saying that, she completely turns around, and looks towards the other side of the room. She just can't bear to look at him right now, or her tears will probably be no longer controllable.

Damon looked to the ground as Kaede turned. Stupid rumor spreading super gossiping borderline SOCIOPATHIC schoolgirl rumor factories. Stupid technicalities. Stupid...Stupidness! This all made no sense to him! They'd both been through a lot, why couldn't they just have this?

...At that moment, something clicked, though.

Damon was silent for a moment, before putting a hand on Kaede's shoulder. "...We'll always be on the same page." He said, fairly confident in that much. "We've been through school...Kaito...The trio....Tenkuu...The group behind my family's deaths. We survived all of that. And to top it off, we then survived the end of the world." He said, his voice firm.

"...If we could survive that, all of it, and come out of it alive, we can survive a few more months. We can survive anything" He said, determined on that. "And when we can be with each other, it'll all have been worth it. I'm not going to vanish off the face of the earth. I'm always going to be here, for you."

Perhaps it was just the constant perspectives. Perhaps it was the fact that he'd faced death, spat on his face, and made it through the apocalypse without any lungs. Whatever it was, it had given Damon more confidence, especially in this situation. Facing battle after battle, pain after pain, wound after wound, they'd both endured. Even when it seemed everything was gone, they'd moved forwards. They made it through, and everything was fine. This was going to be the same way. On this he could be 100% sure.

...

There was a moment of silence.

Kaede could not control her tears anymore. She turned around, and simply buried her face in Damon's chest, and let the tears from her eyes wet the shirt that Damon was wearing.

Why, why Damon? Why are you always so gentle? Why are you so confident? Why are you so strong? Why do you have to be so soft? It's unfair...

In a way, Kaede is almost happy that Haru has pushed her forward to kiss him. Now that the uncertainty is gone, she has some goal to work towards, and all the more reason to survive from life-threatening attacks, no matter who that person is and what that person is attempting to achieve. This she swear as she lets her tears stream down.

After a few minutes, Kaede stopped, and remove herself from Damon.

".. That was embarrassing." She smiles and teases herself, as she wipe off the tears that was lingering in her eyes. "I showed you a bad side of mine again, didn't I?"

Damon found himself being cried on. He wasn't too sure if that was a good thing. Either way, he found himself putting his arms around Kaede. He made no motion to push her way or anything, just letting her cry as he did his best to embrace her. Minutes passed, before Kaede moved away, a smile on her face, something he was happy to see.

He smiled back at Kaede, and shook his head at what she said. "Nah..." He said, not finding that to be the case. "You don't have any bad sides to me. It's all part of what makes you...You."

As if on cue, his phone made a beeping sound, it's alarm going off. His eyes widened, pulling out his pocket watch. That was his 'Last chance to get ready' noise, and indeed, the time showed that to be true. "Argh....Looks like I need to hurry and get ready." He said, before closing it, and stuffing it back into his pocket. Well. School waited for nobody.

"I'll see you at school." He said, giving Kaede a small nod, before moving to the stairs. He turned his head to her, and then added quickly, "Have a good day!" He said, his eyes shut and his smile wide. His day was already better then he woke up. Hopefully, it would stay just as good throughout.
