"Midorin?"

Momoi came walking right up to them. "Where are you…I thought…"

He shrugged her off, quickening his pace to avoid further interrogations from the peach head.

"What happened…Dai-chan? Ki-chan…Tetsu-kun?"

"Tch, whatever. I'm going home already. Just walk on your own, Satsuki." He slowly made his way.

"Aominecchi! W-wait! I thought you were with us?!" The blonde raced his way and pulled his jersey.

"Dammit Kise! Can't you stop pestering everyone about this reunion-shit you and Satsuki keep on pushing?! It's not gonna happen! You heard what he said, right?! We're just giving each other bullshit!" He raged pushing Kise away.

"Dai-chan!" She and Kuroko came to Kise's aid.

"Just…stop." He said in a low voice before walking away. Momoi held Kise's hands and tried to smile for him. Kise just lowered his head in response.

"Ahhhhh, did you hear that? Kasamatsu-senpai is calling me already~ I've got to go before I receive another beating from him!" He faked a grin as he patted both Kuroko and Momoi.

"I'm…sorry." He whispered to them walking away from the two.

"Tetsu-kun…what happened…"

"I'm sorry, Momoi-san…" His voice was hoarse and dry, as if all energy from his body has been drained.

He grabbed her hand gently and gripped it with his, "I'm sorry…I'm sorry…" She then took account of the situation and realized everything that could have happened before she came.

She shook her head lightly and broke away from his grip; she then cupped his face with her hands.

"You did your best, Tetsu-kun…"

"I didn't expect for this to happen I thought everything will be fine…"

His eyes widened as the first teardrop travelled its way from her rose-colored gems down to her flushed cheeks.

"I'm sorry, also, since it was my silly idea." More tears started falling down. He just can't bear seeing her like this, he made her cry once, and it was such an agonizing memory to him. After all, Momoi Satsuki is more than just her ex-manager from middle school; she is a precious friend.

Her cry was painful to endure, since no sound came out of her mouth at all, it was all silent sobs and soft sniffs.

Without any second thoughts, he pulled her into a hug; a very tight hug, his eyes were welled with tears.

They just remained there for quite some time, listening to each other's silent cries, and hoping that something better is opt to happen sooner or maybe later.

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen, we are now landing at Terminal 1, Narita Airport. We will be arriving in the gate in about twenty minutes. Expect a fair weather today with minimal chances of rain. We want to thank you for flying with us today and enjoy your trip here at Tokyo."

Momoi woke up to the pilot's announcement. She then noticed her damp eyes and quickly rubbed it with her sleeve. That dream again…huh.

After landing she made her way towards the lobby dragging her heavy luggage with her. She looked at her watch and sighed to herself. Her phone suddenly rang.

"Huh? How much longer?"

"What?"

"Fine, fine. I'm here at the lobby; please don't take your eyes off her." She took a seat at the vacant chairs and grabbed a magazine. After about half an hour, she took her phone and started texting her father. Dad, are you done? I'm still here at the lobby.

"Momoicchi!?"

She lifted her eyes hearing the familiar nickname she once received from ten years ago. Ki-chan?

"Momoicchi! It's you! Momoicchi! Here~" He waved enthusiastically to the peach head. "Ahh~ Please go on without me." He bowed to his co-workers and ran towards her.

"Ki-ch—"

"Waaaaah~ I missed you so much! Look at you! You're so grown up!" He said as he hugged her tight planting quick pecks in both her cheeks.

"Ki-chan, stop, you're gathering too much attention." She gently pushed the latter away but still a big smile plastered on her face.

"Look at you, Captain Ryouta Kise. You look very nice in that uniform." She chuckled.

"Ahhhh, Momoicchi you're looking well too. I see you've cut your hair. Puuuhhh what a waste, you're hair was so pretty when it was longer." He tucked some locks behind her ears. "But you didn't grow tall at all, how old are you again?" He snickered.

Momoi hit him playfully in his arm. "Mou Ki-chan! I'm 27 already! I did grow…a little you know." She pouted.

"Maa, maa, I was just joking. I just missed you so much! It's been ten years! A decade! Can you believe that?"

"I missed you too of course! You were after all one of my closest friends…" Her voice faded slowly at the word 'friends'.

Kise's expression also changed. "Yeah…I know, right?" He smiled sadly to her.

"S-So! Are you staying at Japan for good?" He quickly changed the topic to avoid reminiscing their gloomy memories.

"Well, actually…yes." She answered plainly.

"That's good! We can hang out together again!" He exclaimed excitedly.

"Sure…but won't your girlfriend or your wife mind?" She asked.

"What girlfriend or wife?" He laughed. "I'm still single! Can you believe that?"

"Oh, I thought." She laughed with him. "How would I know, you are quite popular and good-looking yourself, Ki-chan."

"Momoicchi stop, you're making me blush!" He covered his face with his hands. "Ahhh speaking of that, maybe we could go out sometime, like a date!"

Momoi's smile quickly faded. "I-I…uhm…"

"What's the matter? Don't tell me you'r—"

"Mama!"

His eyes grew seeing the little girl running towards Momoi. Mama? Don't tell me…

"Ahh, Sakura-chan, you took so long picking out a toy! Grandpa's not getting any younger you know." She sighed at the little girl picking her up to snuggle her. "Ah, Ki-chan, my daughter, Sakura. Sakura, this is mama's friend when she was younger, Kise Ryouta-san."

"H-Hello. Ki-chan-san." She said shyly.

Kise blinked for a while staring at the little girl in Momoi's arms. She has light peach hair like Momoi's but dark brown eyes. "Wahhh~ So cute! Hello, Sakuracchi~" He reached for her little hand and shook it gently.

"How old is she, Momoicchi?"

"She's turning four this year." She smiled at him. Her phone rang again, "Please, excuse me for a while." She whispered before answering the call.

I never knew she got married. Why didn't she tell us? His eyes idled at the little girl. She even got a kid. That's so unfair, Momoicchi.

"Dad? Ah yes, She's here with me."

"No, I just ran with an old friend from high school."

"Yes, yes, we're going."

"Sorry about that, Ki-chan. But I think we have to get going, Mom's waiting for us at the house after all." She said walking towards her luggage.

"Of course, no problem at all. So you're staying at your old house?" "Let me carry that for you." He offered.

"Ah thank you. Yes, I'll be getting a job here and it's much closer to my old house, that's why I came back. Also Mom wants to spend her time with her granddaughter."

"Then I can go pick you up sometime, right?" He asked hopefully.

"Of course, just message me when you'll do."

He walked her outside the airport where her father was waiting in a car. He greeted him and helped loading the car's trunk with their belongings.

"Sakura, say goodbye to Ki-chan now."

"Bye, Ki-chan-san…S-see you again!" She smiled to him.

She got her smile.

"Byeeeee Sakuracchi! I'll visit you sometime! "He replied patting the little girl's head.

"Then I'll see you later, Ki-chan." She kissed him on his cheek.

"S-Sure…" He hugged her once again feeling her warmth and having her scent linger all over him. She still has the same warmth and smell like when they were younger. He burrowed his face in her neck whispering words that are almost vague.

Momoi just patted his head gently. "I missed you too."

After breaking away from Kise's tight cling, she made her way inside the vehicle; Sakura suddenly peeked outside to wave goodbye to the young pilot.

Kise's heart winced in pain a little upon seeing the little girl wave and smile to him.

He does not know why, it's either with the anticipation of seeing an old precious friend, or because of discovering something he's better not knowing at all.

Wahhhhh. I don't even know what I wrote. But this has been in my mind for awhile~ Anyways, Momoi's daughter is named Sakura since I based it off a doujinshi where she and Kagami got married and had a daughter named Sakura. I just can't think of any other name "orz

R&R if you desire please ^q^
