Walking along the shoreline, _______ avoided the tents clearly set up on the beach. Whether she was angry or hurt couldn't register her mind. He just walked away as if she had said nothing. It was the last thing she expected. A clear rejection would have probably been easier. Without further notice she sat down on the soft sand. She discarded her shoes and socks, and sat cross legged. The heat from the sun retired, leaving a light warm breeze behind. The breeze carried the salty scent of the sea, and the ocean seemed to call to her. It was as if all sounds subsided and the breeze whistled softly in her ears. She stood up slowly and shimmied out of her shorts. Hesitantly she also discarded her top, leaving her in a simple __(f/c)__ two piece. Venturing towards the sea, she was numb to any other form on the beach. Once the water reached her waist, she stood unmoving. Lazy waves brushed up against her body, and once more tears flood her eyes. Unbeknownst to her Makoto stood at the edge of the water trying to recognize who it was that he was seeing. Upon recognition, he called her name. She gave him no reply, staring on towards the horizon. Bravely he discarded his shirt and went into the water, determined to find out what is wrong. His fingers brushed up against her shoulder and she flinched. Her head instantly snapped to Makoto, a comforting smile already gracing his features.

"Makoto?"

"Are you okay ______-san?" he asked softly

Noting her appearance, she instantly wiped away the tears rolling down her cheeks.

"I'm fine, don't worry about it."

"You don't seem fine, I don't mean to interfere but you could talk to me, if you want."

"It's... Rin... I... just... I don't know anymore." was her cryptic reply

She lifted her hand suddenly. Makoto noticed her balled fists, knuckles white from pressure. She clenched her teeth as if to hold back her words. Makoto's eyes grew wide in concern. Surprisingly, her hand unclenched and she set it upon Makoto's chest. Shameful tears cascaded from her eyes. To hide them she lowered her head against Makoto's chest and closed her eyes, letting her emotions run uncontrolled. The shaking of her shoulders and soft whimpers alarmed Makoto. He hesitantly pulled her closer, letting her cry on his chest. He couldn't leave her in the state she was in. Whatever happened to her obviously made a huge impact, and he felt the need to comfort her. She felt weak, she hated having people see her in this state; at her lowest. She tried to hold back as much as she could, but Makoto's comforting parental disposition wiped all restriction from her mind.

Watching them with a disgusted look smeared upon his face, was Rin. Not knowing where he was going, he suddenly ended up at the beach. The place he vowed to avoid. Unfortunately he also stumbled across a scene he couldn't get himself believe. There she was; _______. Makoto's arm wrapped around her. What could have possibly happened in the few minutes they had separated? A scorching heat bubbled within him, an emotion he couldn't recognize. There you were, with Makoto and he was left paralyzed. He never payed much attention to anyone around her, he never felt this restriction in his throat before. What could it be? Why was he this furious? Especially after what transpired. He had walked away from her sudden confession. He gave her no word to hold on to, not even a gesture and now he felt like punching Makoto in the face. He knew he had no right, but why did he feel this way? Why did he feel so... jealous?

Back at the lodge, ______ instantly went to see Gou. She found her waiting in their room, a restless air around her.

"_______!" Gou exclaimed

"Gou, I'm so sorry about walking away like that."

"Don't worry so much about unnecessary things! Now could you tell me what happened?"

After a long intake of breath _______ spoke, "I confessed, accidentally."

"And?"

"He said nothing."

"What do you mean he said nothing?"

"He said nothing, and when you came back he instantly walked away."

Gou stood shocked, speechless. In return ______ gave her a broken smile.

"I'm so sorry _______-chan! I can't believe he would do something like that!"

"Don't worry about it, I honestly didn't expect it to turn out this way."

"What does this mean?"

"I wouldn't know, all I know is that this hurts more than a rejection."

Gou ran up to _______ and hugged her. Surprised at first; she froze, then slowly eased into the embrace.

It was nighttime, and Rin was left awake on his bed. Thoughts of _______ sifting through his head. Why couldn't he get her off his mind? Images of her flashed behind his closed lids. Her smile, her tears, amongst other emotions she showed around him. Knocking out all those thoughts was an image that instantly substituted her face; Makoto's arms wrapped around her. He clenched his teeth, a resounding scream threatening on erupting from his lips. Why had he walked away from her? He could blame it on one thing only; he didn't know how he felt about her. What confused him to no end is if he truly didn't care about her, why does he feel so jealous? If it were up to him, he would have ran up to them and clawed Makoto's arm away from her. He would have clutched her wrist and pulled her closer to him. He would be the one to wrap his arms around her, and only him. The sudden conclusion pummeled him, he couldn't believe himself. He loves _______. He loves her but now she must hate him.

In her own room ______ was also suffering from insomnia. Her thoughts were rushed, a typhoon of different emotions. After a long talk with Gou, she couldn't feel any more confused. Why did he choose to walk away? If he didn't care, he would have clearly voiced his opinion. _______ knew him enough to conclude that much. He was cold, when he needed to be, but he choose a mask of indifference. It's impossible for things to end like this. She needed closure, a conclusion to all those years she suffered. She had loved him with a passion she couldn't explain, and he didn't seem to have any emotional response to her. It scared her, but she knew Rin always had a mask put up. She had to force him to crack it. She knew she would be able to handle the outcome whatever it may be. She just needed any words to comfort her. Any kind of response would be fine, as long as it cut out her hope for something more.

Next morning _______ woke up with a goal on her mind. She was determined and focused; she was going to talk to Rin. Heading out to the beach with Gou and Ama-chan they found the boys asleep on the beach. Their exhausted expressions confused them. Why weren't they in their tents? Gou proceeded to wake them up with the help of Ama-chan.

"You guys I'm going to the store to get something, I'll be back soon."

"But ________-san we need to wake them up!" countered Ama-chan

"I'm sure Gou will get them up before you know it."

"You can count on it!" replied Gou irritated

_______ rushed to the training facility. The minute she got there, she seemed to lose all excitement. She made it this far, but she had no idea what to say to him. Matter of fact, she didn't even know how to find him! Shyly she entered, and her steps led her to the pool she saw the Samezuka Academy training in. The echo of orders reflecting off the walls and the sound of training reached her ears. Her comfort in being unnoticed was shattered upon hearing a certain person call her name.

"__(l/n)__-san!" called Nitori

"U-uh Aiichiro-san, nice to see you again." she mumbled

"Are you here to see Rin-senpai?"

"Y-yes, do you know where I might find him?"

Before she got an answer, the towering form of a red-haired guy appeared behind Nitori. He had a calculating scowl set on his face, and _______ cowered in his presence.

"Who are you?" he asked

"U-uh I'm _______ _______."

"Oh! Mikoshiba-senpai, __(l/n)__-san is here to see Rin-senpai."

His expression instantly changed, a wide smile graced his features and he said, "Oh! I'll call him for you."

_______ was shocked, how could a person's demeanor change in such a short amount of time?

"Matsuoka! Get over here now!" he called out, his voice echoing in her ears, and she cringed.

At the other end of the pool, she could see an irritated Rin make his way towards them. She looked away to notice Mikoshiba smiling at her.

"So, how do you know Rin?" asked Mikoshiba

"It's a long story."

"Where do you go to school?"

"Iwatobi."

"Iwatobi! You must know Matsuoka's sister!"

"Yeah, Gou-chan."

"Yeah! Tell her I said hi." he replied with a little pink tinging his cheeks.

Before she could retort with any sly comment, their conversation was interrupted.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Rin hollered

"We need to talk!" ______ instinctively barked out

"Like hell we need to talk, you need to go back!"

Everyone stiffened at the heated tone the conversation was taking on. Rin noticed their stares and decided to move the conversation somewhere else.

"I'm going on break, I'm taking her outside." he addressed Mikoshiba

Rin grabbed ________ by the wrist and dragged her out silently. Once they were in an empty corridor Rin let go of her hand. ________ stumbled forward, colliding with Rin's hard chest. She tipped her face backwards, her eyes caught his. A raging glint was in his irises. His eyes seemed darker; menacing. She noticed how close her body was to his and she shivered, willing herself to move away from him. He caught the reaction and before she knew what was happening, he pinned her arms to the cold wall.

"You think you can come in here like nothing happened?" Rin screeched

"Isn't that supposed to be my line?"

"So you're going to act like nothing happened?" he retorted

"Again, you're stealing my lines."

"I did nothing! You should be aware of your actions, there's always someone watching you know."

"Seriously? You did nothing? Well yes technically, but that still doesn't qualify as nothing!"

"What you did was worse!"

"What I did? I was honest and put myself on the line. You were the one who couldn't handle that!"

"Honesty was the last thing on your mind! It was all a lie!"

"How could I have lied? Why would I even lie about something like that!"

"If you weren't lying then why did I see you with Makoto!"

There it was. The truth loud and clear. He had seen her with Makoto and now he thinks she betrayed him. ________ stood speechless, why was he this angry? Why is he so concerned with what happened with Makoto anyway? He knew she would always be there for him, he was the one who pushed her away.
His fingers wound tighter against her wrists, pushing her roughly onto the wall. Her back ached under the pressure and her tongue was caught in her throat. She couldn't decide what his next move would be. This wasn't the Rin she knew. Something in his eyes told of emotions she never saw in him. The aggression in his grip frightened her.

"So you're not going to say anything about this?" He growled in her ear.

She felt a cold shiver run down her spine, alerting her of the danger radiating off his body. His head lowered closer to her shoulder, his breath on her skin. Suddenly he bit down on the junction between her neck and shoulder. To muffle a groan of pain _________ bit on her lip. Her eyes wide in alarm, her body shaking in fear. His hands let go of her wrists and clutched her waist. He pulled her closer to him, his grip fierce. Her head was spinning and her emotions started making no sense. He was holding her; embracing her. She was stuck between being scared and highly blissful. His teeth unclenched from her skin, the sting being replaced with a shock to her senses. His tongue was gliding over the bite-marks. His ministrations suddenly stopped as he noticed _________'s body shivering. His eyes blinked up to hers to find them squeezed shut. Her bottom lip caught between her teeth, blood dripping from the pressure. He released her from his hold and stepped away.
He turned away from her, his hand covered his lips. He said nothing just stood there in silence.

"Nothing happened with Makoto, he just saw me crying and tried to comfort me."

Rin's body turned towards her swiftly, his eyes wide. He had nothing to say, he had no idea what to do. ________ flustered and confused found herself running. She fled the scene in a hurry. Rin's actions seemed to confuse her more every time she saw him.
