Introduction.

"Echoes of Love: A second chance"

[Chapter 0: Prologue]

I'm Iharu Kanamura. Someone you could call "A normal highschooler." I got a call from my mother today and she told me that my childhood friend, Saika Fushiguro, is coming back to Tokyo from America. Her parents are very rich, 

so why does she have to live with me!!!

That's not even the bigger problem. The problem is, she is going to study at the same school as I am. I don't have a pleasant history with her...especially before she left.

*Flashback*

"I have been wanting to tell you this for a very long time. I-" I said to Saika.

"Oi Iharu. Look at this pic. Me and my boyfriend took this together. How do you like it! Huh, were you saying something?" Saika said laughingly.

At that moment, everything shattered. My dreams, my heart. "When did you get a boyfriend?"

"Oh just yesterday. This guy is our senpai. I found him very cute and since he proposed to me first, I accepted it without much thought. He is so hot!"

Saika was actually happy.

"I see. I'm gonna go home now." I said as I turned back.

"You were trying to confess to me, right? I stopped you intentionally since I like you as a friend, you're family. Not of romantic interest. I'm sorry but this is my answer." Saika said.

I locked myself up in my room. I cried until my eyes started hurting. There wasn't anyone for me. I was completely alone. She came to my house three days later.

"You havent been going to school. You know you shouldn't effect your grade because of something like that. I'm going to America with my parents. Senpai and I broke up too. I found out he had many more girlfriends than me. I can't handle it, and gladly I'll be moving out. Here, I cooked a meal for you before I set out." She said before leaving. 

*End of flashback*

She left quickly. There was no love left for me. It hurts. After that, since she wasn't around anymore, I quickly moved on. But now, she's coming back.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Is anyone home?"

That voice.

I opened the door. It was her. She had grown up beautifully. Those eyes, that face that made me fall for her, it was her. The one who broke my heart. The one who caused me the worst pain in my entire life. It was her.

"You're pretty handsome now!" She said while looking at me. "I couldn't even recognize you. Now, can I enter?"

"Ah, sure sure. Come in. Make yourself at home."

"You haven't changed at all have you. Everything is as plain as it used to be. But don't worry! Now that I'm here I'll make this house new."

"How long are you gonna be staying for?"

"Hey! You hate me so much you can't even let me live in your house?"

"No, it's not that. It's just weird. A male and a female living in the same house."

"It won't be anymore. You know, after I left for America, I couldn't get over you. I had jumbled up my feelings, I was wrong. I finally figured out my feelings, I did love you, and I love you still."
