Secret Love - Kanda Yu Love Story - Chapter 4

Akari's POV

Finally we made it back, but mostly I just told Komui what happened and I went right to the training hall to start on my training, But first I changed into some comfortable training cloths, a shirt that was sleeveless like the ones Allen and Kanda wore at times if they didnt have to much missions, along with shorts and well as always when I train I had some bandages on my hands almost past my wrists, but if I wanted to find my brothers and take down Kotaro's killer then I had to become stronger I simply had to.

I ignored the person who came in and continued to train, ,my usual training would be either sparing with Kanda or Lavi maybe even Allen and Lenalee but if they were busy and if I wanted to train alone I used a punching bag that they put when I kind of asked for so I could make sure my punches were strong enough if my sword ever broke or was smacked away from my grasp.

But as I was in mid punch a hand stopped my blow, and the owner was none other then Kanda.

"What is it?" I asked a little annoyed he interrupted my training.
"What was with you on our way back?" He asked coldly like always.
"None of your damn business! now leave me alone I want to train.." I glared at him, I didnt mean to snap I just didnt feel like talking cause I wanted some training to be done and then maybe id open up to him about it
"Che fine dont tell me" He growled back and walked away most likely to train himself

I looked at his back then at the floor, sighing I got back in a stance just as he sat down on the mat a few ways from me, punch after punch I thought back to the times where Kanda started to become comfortable being around me mostly sure we got into arguments but lately the arguments have been less and less and these feelings for him grew more much to my hate for it.

Though I knew I couldn't just hate Kanda cause I loved him but I felt like I was betraying Kotaro cause of the biggest promise I made with him that made me force myself not to think of those feelings.

--- Flash Back ---

A younger Kotaro and Akari both walked down the small path near by a lake they would always go to and play around, sure they were young but they loved one another.

"Akari can we promise something?" Kotaro asked.
"Sure!" Akari smiled.
"Promise that if we ever get separated that we will meet here again, even if it takes years to return we will become stronger then we are now and meet here so we can be together forever!" He smiled

Akari blushed and thought of it, it wasnt what she was used to cause all she really had were her brothers she didnt have friends cause of her different hair colours but she trusted Kotaro since he was the only one besides her older brothers who didnt care about it in fact the three loved her hair colour enough to make her change her mind about hating it.

"I promise!" She finally said smiling

Little did those two know the day they made that promise everything changed

--- Flash Back End ---

"Hey! Akari!" Kanda yelled
"Huh?" I blinked 'Damn I had another flash back...these are getting out of hand I been having to many of them...' she though
"What the hell is wrong with you? you suddenly stop training and then stupid tears rolled down your cheeks" He sighed

'Wha?!' touching my cheeks indeed I was crying, I guess if I have to remember Kotaro then that might mean I am slowly getting close to being strong enough to keep all these promises but some of these memories were when I was spending time with Lavi and Kanda.

-- Another Flash Back ---

"Akari-chan!!~" Lavi grinned running up to Aoi
"What?" I glared
"Come on dont be so harsh! lets go hang out!" He smiled grabbing her hand
"Why do you want to hang out with me?" I asked coldly
"Cause your awesome! and also your fighting skills are amazing!" He told while smiling then suddenly grabbed some of Aoi's hair "Whoa! two colours together! so cool!" He added

Akari froze, another person liking her hair? but...but why?! its nothing special or anything nothing was cool about it either, and yes she grew to hate most stuff about herself again once she was pulled away from Kotaro and her brothers

"Y-You like my hair?" I asked
"Yeah has it always been like that?" Lavi asked.
"Yeah...its always been two colours....but everyone thinks cause of it I'm a freak..." I sighed
"Well there wrong! I think its beautiful!" Lavi told

In that moment it reminded me about how Kotaro commented on my hair, so after that I learned to accept Lavi's countless annoying times to pop out of no where and be around me.

--- Flash Back End ---

"I'm fine Kanda you shouldn't worry about me" I told him then walked out back to my room.

Kanda's POV

"I'm fine Kanda you shouldnt worry about me" She replied then walked out of the training hall.

'Yeah right..you must be remembering to much huh?' I thought then sighed, that girl doesn't know what shes been doing to me lately, one moment I think shes adorable then the next shes so annoying but when I watch her train it makes me feel like theres something shes trying to either accomplish or even trying to just plain out look like shes fine, but I know deep down theres a past thats coming back to her that makes her ignore most of us now.

And by the looks of it...it seems like its tearing her apart and soon Akari might close off me or the others...wait why the fuck do I care?! Che! see what this girl is doing to me? she's making me worry and I dont like it but then again at odd times when she smiles it makes my chest feel better, its like if I see her smile that I know shes not suffering from so much pain

But I know I am dead wrong about that.

'It's making me insane...I hid the fact I'm worried about her yet its hard to show her that I am so I just act coldly towards her' I thought then growled in frustration kicking at some training equipment then walked out after her.
