Akako's mind was going a mile a minute as she clutched her broom and flew towards Hakuba's house. She was flying in broad daylight, but right now she didn't care if anyone saw her. In fact, the only thing that mattered at the moment was him.

She wasn't even trying to make sense of her emotions anymore. She was upset... and overjoyed... and oh so confused, all at the same time. He had told her he loved her. He wasn't the first one to tell her this. But he was the first one who mattered.

Her landing was rough (she nearly tripped over herself as she climbed off her broom) but she was in a hurry and didn't care at the moment. And when he flung open the door, she didn't waste and time lunging forward, grabbing the collar of his shirt, and pulling him down in a kiss.
