Dakara Suki. Chapter Fourteen pg 90 "A 'love' where I now understand many things. A 'love' where I have to think about many things. This feeling is..." pg 91 pg 92 Emi: I'm sorry. I know that no matter how many times I say it, I can't be forgiven, but... I'm sorry. pg 93 Hinata: Let's shake hands. Emi: ...huh? Hinata: Emi-chan, you apologized, so let's shake hands and make up. Emi: Make up...? Hina. Everything that happened to you was my fault! pg 94 Emi: Because I talked with Touko about your father... You were kidnapped, right? Hinta: Yeah. But Emi-chan said that you wouldn't let them hurt me. And you brought us food. (Even if we didn't get to eat it.) And you won't kidnap me again, right? Emi: I won't. Hinata: Then! pg 95 Hinata: Let's make up! Emi: You really are such a kid!! pg 96 Hinata: (Emi-chan, that hurts! Emi-chann!) Emi-chan, you have class duty, right? Shouldn't you get going? pg 97 Emi: I'd didn't think we'd still have it in high school. Hinata: Let's be good friends from now on too, Emi-chan! Emi: ...yeah! Hinata: (See you in class!) pg 98 Touko: I'm sorry... Hinata: Why are you apologizing? Touko: Because I told Emi about your family... Hinata: Of course it's normal to talk about my family to friends. And besides, I became friends with Emi-chan because you and Emi-chan were good friends! pg 99 Touko: Hina.... Did you ask your father about Emi's family's debts? Hina: Yup. I asked him if he would lend the money to Emi's father. Touko: So you won't have to involve the police? Hinata: Yup. He got REALLLLLY mad! Touko: What about Asou-sensei... pg 100 Hinata: Yeah. I asked him. Asou-sensei really was a bodyguard that Father hired. pg 101 Touko: Then the person he talked to at the art museum was... Your father, wasn't it? Hinata: Yup, he said so. It was all his job... Everything sensei did for me. pg 102 Hinata: When he held my hand... Let me under his umbrella... Ate dinner with me... Protected me... It was all... All... pg 103 Hinata: All the things that he did...that I loved... It was all his job... Touko: ...Hina. pg 104 Girl: (Oh, it's almost time for the teacher to get here. Let's sit down.) (Oh, it's sensei!) Hinata: % Asou-sensei... pg 105 Girls: (Oh! It's Maeda-sensei!) (She must have had her baby!) (It's been a while!) Maeda: I'm sorry I was gone so long. From today on, I'll be working here again. Girls: (Sensei gained weight~!) (Bring your baby soon!) Hinata: ...Asou-sensei... pg 106 Hinata: % It wasn't just the tannin...the science teacher was a % different teacher, too. % I wonder if sensei quit... ?: Hina-chan. pg 107 Hinata: Tomo-kun! pg 108 Hinata: Tomo-kun, you knew, didn't you. That sensei was with me as part of his job? Tomoaki: ...yes. pg 109 Tomoaki: ...I'm sorry. I ended up lying to you, Hina-chan... Hina: Nope, it's all right. Tomo-kun, you're sensei's friend. You couldn't break a promise with him. Oh, I've got to thank Kizu-san, too! Even though he helped me, I ran off before I got the chance to thank him properly. pg 110 Tomoaki: Because that's Kizu's job as well. Hinata: Huh? Tomoaki: Kizu is also a bodyguard. Mine. Kizu and Shirou used to work together. Hinata: Kizu-san worked for the police too? Tomoaki: Yes, as an escort...but now... pg 111 Tomoaki: He's quit, and he works as my bodyguard. Hinata: Tomo-kun, you're enough in danger that you need a bodyguard?! Tomoaki: Well, there are a lot of reasons. Hinata: What?! Are people after you?! Is there anything I can do?! pg 112 Tomoaki: I need a bodyguard for the same reason you do, Hina-chan. (Thank you for worrying about me.) Hinata: Someone kidnapped you too, Tomo-kun? Tomoaki: Yes, sort of. Hinata: Did theey hurt you or do something mean to you? ...they did? Tomoaki: It was a long time ago. pg 113 Tomoaki: Were you all right, Hina-chan? Hinata: Everyone was very nice to me...all nine times... No, all ten. ...because sensei was with me. pg 114 Hinata: Even if sensei saved me because it was his job. Tomoaki: It's true that Shirou's job was to protect you, Hina-chan... But I don't think that he would have gone so far if that was all you meant to him. Hinata: ...huh? pg 115 Tomoaki: You said it before, Hina-chan. That you wanted to know more about Shirou. Has that feeling changed even now? pg 116 Tomoaki: Do you know why Shirou quit working for the police? Because a girl that he was working as a bodyguard for got hurt. Instead of him protecting her, it went the other way around... pg 117 Tomoaki: The girl took a hit from a bullet meant for Shirou. Her life wasn't in danger, but a scar was left on her leg that would never disappear for the rest of her life. Hinata: Why did she...do that for sensei...? Tomoaki: Because she fell in love with him when he became her bodyguard. pg 118 Tomoaki: Even though she was a state guest, and she knew that she would have to return home... Hinata: ...I know how that feels. Not wanting a person that you love to get hurt.... Tomoaki: That girl told Shirou the same thing. Hinata: Where is she now...? Tomoaki: She went back to her country. It seems that she's getting married now. pg 119 Tomoaki: But Shirou can't forget it. That because she fell in love with him, she got herself hurt... Hinata: Did... Sensei also love her back? Tomoaki: ....apparently. That's why he tries not to feel anything for anyone he comes in contact with. Because he's afraid that someone will love him, and he'll love them back. pg 120 Tomoaki: Even though nobody can live without loving. Hinata: % Sensei... Tomoaki: I'll say it for Shirou, too. We're all very sorry that we lied to you. pg 121 Tomoaki: But I thought that because it was you, Hina-chan, you might be able to change Shirou. Hinata: Me...? Tomoaki: Change Shirou from thinking that he couldn't love anybody. Hinata: But sensei was only with me because of his job... Tomoaki: I know how Shirou was after the accident. He always had a difficult face, wouldn't smile.... And it was hard for both Kizu and I to watch him. pg 122 Tomoaki: But Shirou changed after he met you, Hina-chan. ....take this. It's supposed to go on sale tomorrow. Do you have it yet? I've finally managed to get to you before you bought it. Please read it. Book: Suki 3 Tomoaki: If it's possible... I want what happens in this book to become reality.
