The school yard was abuzz with normal, before school activity.  Akemi and Masami were together under a tree, gathered with a few of Akemi's friends.  Masami didn't think of them as her friends, since Akemi was much more outgoing and social than she herself was.  Akemi kept dragging Masami into the conversation though, and so the shy and reclusive girl was forced to join in the conversation.<br/><br/>It was sunny today, barely a cloud in the sky as the sun rose up into the sky.  A few teachers were scattered about, keeping an eye on their young charges before they moved inside to begin.  About five minutes to class, Akemi tapped Masami on the shoulder and said, "Come on, Masami-chan.  It's time for class."<br/><br/>Timidly, Masami reached out to take Akemi's hand, which only made the other smile and grip it firmly.  Together, they walked into the building, hand in hand, before they reached the intersection leading from the first year classrooms to the second year.  Here, unfortunately, the two parted ways.  Akemi gave Masami a gentle kiss on the cheek before saying, "I'll see you at lunch, Masami-chan.  Under the tree like always."<br/><br/>Masami blushed a bit but gave Akemi a quick peck on the lips, "I will be there, Akemi-chan.  I love you."<br/><br/>Akemi smiled even more and said, "And I love you, my little koneko."<br/><br/>The two parted ways, still under the impression this would be just another normal day.
