Sasuke burst into laughter, but later calmed down when he saw Sakiko's solemn expression.
"Cheer up Sakiko!" He pulled on her hand.
"You overcame this temptation. You won, they didn't" Kirita moved closer to her and placed a hand on her shoulders.
"No, we overcame. Thanks Kirita," they said together.
They stayed in the park and played for thirty minutes, after which they all headed home.
"Bye Kirita!" They waved at her as she took a separate bend.
"Bye, enjoy your mid-term break," she waved back.
--------------
Evening of the next day, they were in Sasuke's room reading when Sakiko fell asleep on the bed.
Father Tanaka opened the door and entered the room.
"Father, welcome back. How was your trip?" Sasuke asked.
"Fine son. Sakiko is asleep?"
"Yes father. I think she fell asleep five minutes ago," his gaze fell on her sleeping form as he spoke.
She shifted on the bed and raised her head, only to see Father Tanaka in the room.
"Father, good evening sir. Welcome back," she said with a yawn.
"You were sound asleep. I can see that, rather than read the book, the book was reading you," he joked.
"Sasuke, I started sleeping like five minutes ago, besides it wasn't a deep sleep," she pouted at him.
"What did I do wrong? It's exactly what I told Father Tanaka."
"It's okay Sakiko, don't fight him. I know you were reading, I just teased you. Sasuke, follow me and get what I bought for you two."
"Yes, father" he replied and climbed out of bed.
"Thank you Father," she said with a smile on her face.
"Welcome." Sasuke and Fr. Tanaka left the room.
"Ohh Sasuke!" she scooted closer to the head board and removed his pillow so she could rest her back on the head board.
"What! My necklace, what is he doing with it?" She looked at the back of the necklace and saw her name engraved on it.
"Aria, my name!" she opened the locket and saw a picture of herself when she was small.
"Gosh, that's me. Wait except that's his sister? He told me he had a necklace, it was like a locket. Half of the locket was with her, while he had the other half of the necklace."
She carefully looked at the necklace again, bringing her's out. The necklaces looked like a broken piece of heart. When she joined them, they formed a complete heart shape.
"So does this mean, I am his sister?" Tears rolled down her cheeks the more she thought about it.
The door opened and he walked in. "Hey, I brought the gifts and you need to see them," he stopped talking when he noticed she was crying but she tried to hide it.
"Why are you crying?" He asked
She kept the pillow and quickly slipped on the necklace. "Nothing just got eye in my insect," she lied.
He chuckled at her reply, "You mean you've got insect in your eyes. Come on let me see, I'll blow it off."
He dropped the gifts on the bed and climbed in to help her, but she struggled.
"Stop holding back and let me get it out," he said as she continued to struggle with him and after a minute, she ran away from his room.
Rushing to her room, she closed the door anf dived on the bed, before sitting up. Five minutes later, he was by her door. He pushed the door open and walked in.
"Don't tell me it is still the insect. Okay I believe you, let me see Sakiko."
She still didn't give in and they struggled. Sakiko finally looked at him amidst their struggle and saw the tears form in his eyes. "You're crying?"
She didn't want him to know she had lied, that was why she refused to let him look at her eyes, by now they had fallen on the bed with him on top of her.
It was a fight of hands, accidentally her knee hit his abdomen, with the shock and struggle, he fell with his face on hers, lips locked on each other, they mistakenly kissed.
Quickly they disengage from each other and sat apart.
"How dare you!"
