Ai No Koe's

Chapter 41's

Kaito

Ai and I left Hina's inn and went back down 700 steps to return to the station not far from Okiyama. Shortly after, we arrived at the station.

Without waiting for a long time the train stopped at this station. We got on the train and found a comfortable seat. The train was on its path. After twenty minutes we finally arrived at the station across the street from Asakura High School.

We got out of the train we were riding. We both continued our steps out of the station. We both stopped in front of the station.

"We're going straight home?", I asked.

Ai simply nodded her head and gave her that characteristic sweet smile.

"I'm anther and what house?", I asked.

After hearing my words Ai shook her head quickly.

"Eh?!, ohh yes already", I said nodding understand.

We continued our steps towards our home. As usual, we split up at a crossroads and stepped into our homes.

"Awh .. This is the house until Hanabi's home is definitely diomelin ..", I muttered lazily in my steps.

I also arrived at my doorstep.

This is usually when I open ...

Hanabi must have thrown the pillow ...

I opened the door slowly preparing for all possibilities.

But all the possibilities I thought were wrong ...

"Ra-Raku?!", I asked in surprise to see her sitting next to Hanabi on the sofa in the living room.

"Ohh ... is back with you" she said, looking back with a relaxed face.

After entering and stepping into the living room, it turned out that they were playing console games together.

"When are you here?", asked me standing behind the sofa.

"Yesterday night ..", her answer remained focused on the television screen.

"Heee?!! y-you guys?!", I said in surprise.

"So I know I'm scared at home .. So Mina calls Raku's sister to make me feel better" Hanabi explained.

"Ohh .. so you are Raku?!. .. invited to go do not want .. but if the business of nemenin girls who are alone at home aja cepet you ...", I said pushing Raku's head from behind.

"Oi .. You're my best friend .. He's also my own brother's rich" she said.

"You didn't do anything about my sister last night, did you?", I asked suspiciously.

"Your nut .. can't be ..", he said annoyed.

"Good for your brain the contents of the same game doang computer ..", said I mocked him.

I also lay in bed while waiting for my smartphone battery to be fully charged. As long as I close my eyes, I always see Ai's pretty smile.

Cih ... What the hell is this!

Because I felt uncomfortable, I got up and sat back in bed.

"I beg you to return the voice of Ai", Hina's words that ring in my head.

"I beg ... don't ..", a whisper that I don't recognize when I cuddle with Ai in the darkness that's still ringing in my head.

Is that really his voice?

I don't know why I'm getting curious about Ai's voice. I want to hear his voice more and more.

Ame

Today as usual I was sitting next to Kaito senpai working on our novel together. We were busy each looking for inspiration from any novel we took.

When I turned my head towards Kaito senpai, her serious face looked new to me. All this time what he showed was his flat and lazy face.

I purposely nudged his hand with my elbow. I acted as if nothing had happened as he looked at me.

"Ame? ... aelah ..", said his annoyance.

After that he returned to focus towards the novel that was in his hands. I smiled a little after seeing that annoyed face.

But ...

Sooner or later I'll lose her ...

I always feel sad when the day with her is over. Even though I'll see her back tomorrow. But my heart felt like it was pierced by a knife of fate that had told me all this was coming to an end.

I want to say her ...

Senpai ...

I like you ...

Thanks for everything ...

But my courage isn't enough to get her out.

Tough heart ...

Please beat longer ...

I could only let out a fake smile when in front of Kaito senpai. But every night I kept crying realizing this cruel reality.
