Sakuragi took a deep breath as he pulled out a small gift from his bag.

He stared at the square-shaped small box wrapped in a light blue paper in his palm.

I'm going to give this to him today. I have to!! Today is our graduation day. If I didn't do it today, I'm gonna be sorry for the

Rest of my life!

"Yo! Hanamichi!!"

A voice he knew very well made him hurried put the box back in to his bag.

Yohei and the rest of Sakuragi-guntai approached him.

"Ha..haa..! Today is our graduation day! Finally!!" Yohei laughed relievely, "So what are we going to do after all of the ritual ended?" he asked Sakuragi.

"Dine at the ramen shack?" Takamiya, the fat boy, answered him.

"That would be nice," said Okusu.

"No way! That would be too common!" Nouma refused and shook his head hard.

"What about you Hanamichi?" Yohei asked him once more.

"Umm…actually I kinda had my own plan…"Sakuragi replied nearly mumbled.

"Nani!!?? What plan!!??" the four boys widened their eyes shocked. Never crossed their mind Sakuragi would rather spend his

time departed from them in this 'special' day.

Yohei smiled, "Kitsune?"

"Huh?" Sakuragi lifted up his face quickly staring at Yohei. The redhaired's face rather blushed in a pinky shade.

"OK Hanamichi, we'll forgive you this time. But whatever you're going to do, make sure you do it right. Because if you don't,

we're gonna give you a very hard time afterwards, deal?" Yohei pointed his fist towards Sakuragi's face.

Sakuragi was speechless for a while. And then a firm smile appeared, "Deal!"
