Wow, I can't believe that this is the end. I had a lot of fun writing this story and I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Thank you all so much for sticking with me to the end and encouraging me with you wonderful reviews! -sniff- now on to the story before I get all emotional...

The last comment Karin made took a second to hit Kazune.

You and me are over!

She didn't really didn't mean that…did she? Kazune clenched his fist and he found that his breathing was coming harder. What was he going to do? He wasn't even sure why he had been mad at Karin in the first place.

You and me are over!

It kept repeating in his head. Over and over. Tears were stinging at the back of his eyes but he blinked them away.

Himeka, Miyon, Yuuki, and Micchi, who had all witnessed the event, were staring at bewilderment at the still open door than Karin had stormed out of.

"You Dumbass!" Micchi suddenly yelled making everyone jump. "What the hell do you think you doing? Go after her!"

Kazune looked at Micchi in bafflement but didn't say anything.

"Why are you still standing there?" Micchi continued, "Are you daft? Go after her!" He gave Kazune a little push towards the door but Kazune didn't budge.

"If you don't, I will!" Micchi said starting to make his way to the door.

Once Micchi was only inches away from the door Kazune stopped him by grabbing a hold of his arm. "No, I'll go." He said although the words were barely audible.

Micchi took Kazune's shoulder and shoved him out the door, "Then go!"

Micchi sighed and closed the door once Kazune had disappeared from view. "Do you really think they'll be able to fix things?" Himeka asked.

"I don't know." Micchi said leaning against the door, "But I sure hope so."

As Kazune followed the trail, hoping Karin had gone the same way, he noticed that it had started to drizzle. He swore under his breath and picked up his pace realizing that if he didn't find Karin soon, she could get stranded out here in the rain.

It wasn't long before the light drizzle had become pounding rain. Kazune was running now, desperate to find Karin. It was right then that, just as turning a corner, he spotted her in the distance. He rushed over to her.

Karin turned as she heard footsteps approaching her but with the rain and the tears in her eyes, she found it impossible to see anything but a blur of colors. Still she knew it was him. He wrapped his arms and around her and pulled her along, "Come on," his familiar voice said, "We have to get out of the rain."

Kazune pulled her into a nearby tool shed. It was old and it was also empty. "You-you okay?" Kazune asked the sobbing girl.

She suddenly reached out and hugged Kazune, "I didn't mean it!" she cried, "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it!"

For a second Kazune had almost forgotten about what Karin had said, he had been too concerned with her safety to think about it. But now it all came back to him. Kazune pressed his lips to Karin's soaking hair. So she really didn't want to break up? He thought hopefully.

Karin sighed and broke their hug. She walked over to the other side of the shed and plopped herself down. She leaned against the wooden walls, "Kazune?" She asked, "Can I ask you something?"

Kazune nodded.

"Why…why are we fighting?"

Kazune sat down on the opposite wall from Karin; he had been wondering the same thing since this whole ordeal started. "I don't know." He answered honestly.

"Are you mad at me?" Karin wasn't looking at Kazune; instead her eyes were fixed straight ahead of her on the other wall of the cabin.

Kazune looked at the little dripping wet girl, "No." he wasn't mad at her. How could he be mad at her? She was just so cute. Kazune suddenly had the urge to close the space between them and hold her in his arms but he guessed that it wasn't the best time for that. "Are you mad at me?"

"No." Karin answered, "er, not anymore. I was."

"Why?"

"I don't know."

After a moment of silence, Kazune sighed, "Karin?" Karin made some noise of acknowledgement, "What you say we forget this whole thing? Let's just move on, pretend it never happened and I can take you out on that date I promised."

Karin looked at him now, "Date?" she laughed a little before choking on her tears. "I thought you had forgotten." She said tear drops forming in her eyes.

Kazune blushed, is that what they had been fighting about all this time? "No, I remembered."

"You think that's why we were fighting?" Karin asked, voicing Kazune's thoughts.

"…I think maybe, we were so happy to finally be together that a got a little carried away and forgot that no relationship is perfect."

"What do you mean?"

Kazune leaned back against the wall, "I guess I'm trying to say that there will be times when we fight and when we don't get along and things won't always come easy but we became so lost in the idea of us being perfect together that we thought things would always be great. And so when we did get into a fight, we took it to the extreme not understanding that relationships call for compromise."

There was a moment of silence then Karin giggled.

Kazune looked at her surprised by her reaction, "What's funny?"

"It's just, you're so smart Kazune! I never would have figured something like that out."

"So you think I'm right?"

"Yeah, you're right, I know it. Relationships need work."

Kazune looked into Karin's eyes, "…So… are you willing to try again?"

Karin smiled, "I am if you are."

Kazune smiled back, "Good, so, then, let's go out, Saturday, just you and me, just like I promised."

"Sounds good. So are you gonna sit over there all day or are you gonna get over here and warm me up?" Karin said shivering.

Kazune laughed and happily obliged. He closed the space between them and wrapped his arms around her. "I love you." He whispered in her ear. Karin nuzzled into his soaking wet shirt, "Love you too." She said blissfully.

It's weird really, how so many aspects of your life can change in such a short amount of time. Sitting there with Kazune, I thought over everything we had been through together. Everything since that first fateful day that we met. And thinking all this over, I really realized how much had changed and how all those things would never be the same again.

Karin's phone rang making her jump. Kazune loosened his grip on her so she could pull her phone out of her pocket and flip it to her ear.

"Hanazono-saaaaaaaan!" the voice that Karin recognized to be Micchi's cried on the other side of the line, "You're okay! You are okay right? I'm not like talking to ghost or something? Is Kazune there? Did he find you? Y'know if you two don't make up, I'm still single-"

"Nishikinori!" Kazune yelled very able to hear the whole conversation.

"Oh! So he is with you. Well good then! Come back soon! We're all so worried!" nothing followed those words except a click and a dial tone.

Karin smiled, and then again, some things never changed.

Kazune grabbed Karin's hand as they walked out of the shed together now that the rain had stopped.

But despite what may change and what won't, I know now matter what; everything will turn out okay in the end.

Karin squeezed Kazune's hand tighter.

Yeah, I know, without a doubt, that everything will be okay.

Karin looked up a Kazune as she heard a sudden gasp escape his lips. "K-Karin…RUN!!" With that he took off running dragging Karin along with him.

"What? What is it Kazune?" Karin asked stumbling to keep up.

"A-a….a BUMBLE BEE!!" Kazune shrieked running faster.

Karin rolled her eyes slightly and a chuckle escaped her lips as she said, "What else is new?"

-The End-
