Six Months Later

All over spring break, Camille and Sakura spent the whole time working on their manga. Either at Camille’s residence or Sakura’s, they did all they could do with how little time they had in two weeks.“ This looks pretty good, don’t you think? “Camille complimented Sakura’s drawings over and over, but the response she got in return was, “ Yes, it is, but I can do even better than it is now. “Unsatisfied with her illustrations, that drove Camille to push herself even more than she already did with the story.Each time they would take a break, Kaito and Christopher would bring them coffee and some snacks.They went at it until there were only a few days left until classes resumed. Deciding to take an hour break, they relaxed over tv.Talking about anything and everything, Sakura filled Camille in about her last encounter with Karasu.“ So you’re saying Moriyama admitted having feelings for you? “At that time, Christopher and Kaito walked by as they were heading toward the kitchen and heard the girls’ discussion.“ Yes, he did. He also said he wouldn’t give up on me and would make me fall for him. “Kaito was stunned by the whole thing, but just walked away without saying a thing.When they were gone, Camille asked curiously, “ What are you planning to do with Moriyama? “Answering bluntly, she exclaimed, “ There’s nothing to be done. I don’t love him and I don’t think I ever will no matter the p-assage of time. “Feeling her overconfidence expressing itself, she asked further, “ How can you be sure? How can you be so certain you won’t fall for him? “Sighing, she exclaimed, “ That’s because the one I love and have feelings for is Kaito and nobody else. “!!!“ Yes, I can understand your reaction. “ She said simply before adding as follows, “ I wasn’t sure of my feelings either, but the more I spent time with him, especially for the insightful knowledge I needed to come up with for the manga, the more it became evident that I had feelings for him. “Hearing her true heart, Camille grinned warmly and exclaimed, “ I’m content for you, Sakura. Angel Kaito and you will make such a great couple. I should congratulate him later when I see him. “Driven by her enthusiasm, Sakura suddenly said, “ I didn’t tell him about my feelings for him. “!!!“ What? Why not? ““ I can’t tell him now. “ She responded and exclaimed, “ This is a busy day for us and we can’t afford to be distracted at this time of the competition. Once the contest wraps up, I’ll tell him at that time. “—Meanwhile inside the kitchen, Christopher asked, “ You heard what the girls were discussing, didn’t you? What are you going to do about it? “While cutting the onions, the strong odor made Kaito shed tears. Mistaking the situation, Christopher exclaimed, “ You don’t have to cry over what I said. I’m sorry. Please don’t cry! ““ I’m not crying over what you said, so stop this drama! ““ You’re not? “Before he could ask further, Kaito exclaimed, “ The onions are what’s causing this reaction. Besides, why would I cry over what you said? ““ Because that human will snatch away the girl you truly like away from you? “Answering honestly, Kaito exclaimed, “ Even if that was the case, that would be Sakura’s decision. Also, she’s planning on responding to my confession after the contest wraps up, so whatever it is she decides, I’ll know it then. “Surprised, he exclaimed, “ She’s planning on responding to your confession and you’re this calm? “In response to his interrogation, Kaito said, “ What else am I supposed to do in this situation? Even if she ended up rejecting me after six months, I’ll still remain by her side as her guardian angel, watching over her. ““ Will you be satisfied with just that? “—Taking a moment to respond, Kaito inhales, “ Although it will hurt to see her with somebody else, I’ll take it. After all, nothing matters more than her happiness. Nothing else is important beyond that. “Smirking, Christopher exclaimed, “ You’re brave, Kaito, but I’m not as kind hearted as you are. If the girl I liked were to be with someone else, I think I’d go crazy. I’d do anything so she’d return to me, unlike you who would just let her go. “Listening to him, Kaito couldn’t help but say, “ You’re speaking as if you have such a girl in your life, or do you? “In response to the forward question, all Christopher replied was, “ It’s a secret! “A few days later, spring break came to an end and school resumed as usual. Using how little time they had at school, Camille and Sakura kept working on their manga, either in the library or at lunch period.One day while she was just about to go home, Karasu was waiting for her at the exit.“ Moriyama-Kun, what are you doing here? Are you waiting for someone? “Approaching her furtively, he hypothetically asked, “ What do you think? “Feeling the awkwardness between them, Sakura didn’t know what to do. It was at that time that someone unexpected showed up.“ Sakura, are you done for the day? “!!!“ Kaito? “Surprised to see him, she froze in an instant. Approaching her, he noticed her reaction and asked, concerned, “ Are you all right, Sakura? “Snapping back to her senses, she asked, “ What are you doing here, Kaito? “Responding affirmatively to her question, he exclaimed, “ I’m here to fetch you. Are you done with school yet? If you are, then we can be on our—? ““ Why should she go with you? Are you living together or something? “As the matter escalated between Kaito and Karasu, Sakura was left wondering what to do to calm the mess that was taking place.As more people started to gather around them, Sakura felt even more out of place. Walking out of the school building, Camille witnessed what was going on and was appalled.“ Yes, we are living together. Do you have an issue with that? ““ What? You’re living together? “Turning to Sakura, he asked, “ Is that true? Is what that man’s saying true? You’re living together with him? ““ Well, that’s— “Seeing the commotion that was taking place, Camille dragged Christopher to the side and said out of the blue.“ Transform quickly! “???“ Transform into a human! “Not understanding why she suddenly wanted him to transform into a human, it was only the moment he transformed that he understood Camille’s intentions.“ What’s going on here? What’s all this commotion about? ““ Camille? “Standing beside Sakura, Camille glared at Karasu. “ Why are you questioning my friend so much? Are you her boyfriend or something? ““ No, but— “Glaring at Kaito, she exclaimed, “ And you Kaito, why didn’t you explain the situation properly? “???“ Kaito is living with Sakura, yes, but not for the reasons that you think. “???Dragging Christopher into the picture, she exclaimed, “ Kaito and Christopher are brothers and they came to Tokyo to realize their dreams of becoming idols. Until they can make it into showbiz, Sakura and I are lodging them at our houses. ““ They may each be living with us, but it’s not for free. They contribute by helping around the house. Is that clear to you now? “Finding the situation plausible enough, Karasu nodded. Kaito, Sakura, and Christopher were too shocked to even react.Pushing Christopher to Kaito, she exclaimed, “ Until Sakura and I are done with the contest, you two will live together at her place. “Turning to Sakura, she exclaimed, “ Sakura, you will live with me at my house for the next five months and three weeks. “When the audience left, Christopher was still out of it. It was only when he saw Camille leaving without him that he finally reacted. “ Camille, where are you going? What about me? “Stopping for a moment, she turned around, “ What are you talking about now? Didn’t I make myself clear enough? Until we’re done with the competition, you two will live together? Is that clear? “—“ Let’s go, Sakura! “On their way back to her house, Camille didn’t utter a single word and neither did Sakura.“ Come on in, Sakura! It’s small, but I hope you’ll like it here. “When she walked inside the house, she couldn’t help herself.“ I’m sorry! “?“ Why are you apologizing? “ She asked and the response she got in return was, “ Because of me, your guardian angel was chased out of the house. He looked so appalled when you ditched him back there and it’s all my fault. I apologize. ““ Don’t be, Sakura! The situation was escalating so much that I had to do something to calm things down. And, as far as Christopher is concerned, I’ll apologize to him when all this is over. I’m more than certain he’ll accept my apology, so don’t worry too much! ““ Besides, this happened for the better. This way, we’ll be able to better concentrate on the contest ahead and not get distracted by anything. “At the same time, At Sakura’s residence, Christopher was infuriated by how things turned out.“ This is all your fault, Kaito. Why did you have to go to Furakami High School? What was your purpose for going there? ““ What are you talking about, Christopher? “ He retaliated against him. “ I was simply following your advice of not letting what I liked be snatched over. “Hurling even further, he exclaimed, “ So you’re saying this is all my fault? “Time went on and six months later, Sakura and Camille were done with their entry for the competition. All that was left was entering a title and submitting it to the participation page.“ What title should we come up with? “Asking for Sakura’s opinion, she exclaimed, “ What about Colorful World? What do you think? Or we could also go with, How You Changed My World? “Liking the first title better, Camille entered it and before pressing submit, she looked at Sakura and asked, “ We did all we could, didn’t we? “Nodding, she exclaimed, “ Yes, we did. Now it’s up to the judges to decide! “
