My body twitches as I feel her arms wrapped around me. Her warmth seeps within, her eyes looked only at me. The crowd pressing on my body crushes with her as well.

  “Sorry, Senior.” I apologize.

  “It’s okay, we never expect this crowd.” Kagome answered, facing me with her eyes locked on me. Why I feel agitated now that she’s looking at me. And the way her arms wrapped around me.

  The small shakes of the wagon trembles me, yet she keeps hugging me. Kei is behind her, sticking their back together.

  “Kei, are you alright there?” though whispering, Kagome asked her.

  “Yeah, I’m fine. And you’re with Kira right now?” Kei replied, tilting her head sideways. “Is he fine there?” she asked.

  “Yeah, he’s fine… totally, fine.” Kagome answered and looks at me. Those words suddenly send a chilly feeling.

  I avert her eyes, and feigned on the words shes said. I feel like something’s not right here. Why is she acting like this? I don’t understand. As the train keeps proceeding to run, so as my body keeps crushing to hers.

  I find it discordantly, yet Kagome doesn’t seem minding it at all. “Say, Kira…” her voice whispers, calling my name.

  “Huh?” I asked, my eyes meet hers. I can hear her heart thumping fast. Her breathing seems a little ragged; her arms keep wrapping around me.

  “Can I embrace you?” she asked, still whispering to me.

  “Huh? What do you—”

  Before I could respond further, Kagome leaned forward to me and kiss my lips. It’s as if a trance, my body twitches as I feel her lips against me. Its softness and warmth enveloped me.

  Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

  A few seconds that I feel like a lifetime, she moves away and gazes into my eyes. “I can’t suppress it. I can’t helped; my mind’s been occupying about you since that night of the festival.”

  Her arms loose to my body. “It wasn’t supposed to be like this,” she utter.

  I didn’t response to her words. I was flabbergasted; no other things can be processed in my mind after hearing it.

  At that moment as well, the PA announces the station where I’ll be dropping off. The crowd lessen, and Kei turns to us. “Oh, it’s your station, Kira.” she speaks and smiles at me.

  “Y-yeah. I’ll be dropping here.” I replied, getting off to the platform, facing the two. Kagome’s face blushes, as she shows a small smile at me. Her hand waved, as Kei does too.

  “See you tomorrow, Kira. Good night.” Kei waves. The door close, as I stand while watching the train passes by.

  There are only people left on the station as I remained standing. The words Kagome left to me gives an enigmatic feeling. Why? Why did she do that?

  That one question still lingers in my mind. After all that happened, how should I suppose to face her right now?

  *****

  As Kira left the train, only Kei and Kagome left. Sitting side with each other, the two became quiet. All they hear now are the faint sound of the motor and clanking sounds of the hand holders as the train keeps moving.

  Kagome’s chest keep thumping like a drum. She did something awful behind her friend, and the one she loves.

  She knows what preference she likes in romance, yet… giving in to the guy her friend likes. Her hands clutches together. “What am I doing?” she grunted to herself. “He’s not the person I dream of. He’s a guy, yet…?”

  Those words hang up on her mind. Kagome does attracted to other girls. It’s supposed to be like that, but now… Kira’s the occupying her mind.

  And that kiss, that made her feel more anxious now than ever.

  “Kagome, is something the matter?”

  Cracking her anxiousness is the voice of the girl beside her. Kagome tilts her head, seeing Kei showing a concerned looks at her. “Huh? Ah, yeah… I’m good.”

  Showing a smile, Kagome brushes off her thoughts and nods to Kei. “I’m just in deep thought or something… but it’s nothing to worry about.”

  Kei nods at her friend’s words. “All right.”

  Along the phase of their journey to their stations, a deep, and unforgivable secret has been built like a wall between them. Kei doesn’t know, that her friend, Kagome, has trying to suppress the feelings, trying to snuff out with Kira.
