Normal POV
Kazune was walking along the road when his ring started to glow.
"This could only mean one thing." He said out loud, "Either 'he' is around or another right, a ring that might belong to the goddess."
Kazune started to run faster as the glow got bigger till he saw a girl standing in the rain. She turned and looked right at him and he quickly covered his ring with his coat.
It looked as if she was sad and surprised at the same time. She was standing in front of a grave.
"What're you doing?" Kazune asked.
She just stared at him.
"Hey." Kazune said.
"Hey!" He said even louder.
"Y-Yes?" She asked.
"I've been trying to ask… What are you doing at a place like this?" Kazune finally asked.
She replied "Well… I'm making a grave… For my pet Shii-chan…"
"Huh? Are you an idiot?"
Then she suddenly jumped forward with her fist out. It slammed right into his cheek.
Kazune fell on the ground and looked at her.
"I'm not an idiot! Try saying that again!" She screamed.
He kept staring at her then got up and said "sorry to bother you."
Kazune's POV
As I started to walk away I murdered under my breath "man how annoying… Girls are so damn annoying." But apparently she heard me and screamed "you sexist male! Hey, you! Wait!"
I kept walking. I got back to the hotel I was staying at and saw Himeka sitting on the couch.
She doesn't know the truth about her past, but she does know that we are looking for a goddess, a goddess, a goddess… the words kept repeating in my mind. I know she's out there somewhere, I don't want to ruin her life and put it in danger but someone else needs to help protect Himeka (I also want to see her again anyway.)
The next day came and Himeka left. I was walking around outside when a few hours later I saw Himeka sitting on a bench next to… The girl from last night!!
"Kazune-chan!" Himeka said and walked over to me. She grabbed my arm and said "Karin-chan, this is my cousin Kujyou Kasune-chan. Kazune-chan, this is Karin-chan."
We stared at each other when she jumped up and said "so your name is Kazune-san?"
Then Karin flew her self forward and punched me, again!! I fell on the ground just as she screamed "it must be fate that we meet again! I'll have my revenge now!"
"The girl from last night… you still got a problem? Girls can be so persistent!" I said almost yelled.
"Girls this, girls that… apologize to Shii-chan you sexist jerk!" Karin screamed.
Himeka butted in and asked with a smile "do you know each other? It can't be… Karin-chan is the goddess we've been searching for?"
What is she saying, how could she say that?! "Are you stupid? No way she's the one."
Karin put her hand behind her head and asked "what're you talking about? What's this about a goddess?"
She shouldn't be listening to out conversation! So, I said "shut up! It's none of your business. Don't try to get involved in other's conversations. You're really an insensitive girl, aren't you?"
Her face went cold and she looked down. "I'm sorry. I apologize. I might have gone too far. But, there are better ways to talk to people you know…"
Then she proceeded to scream "you sexist jerk!" At the same time she flew her hand forward in a fist again.
Then, I saw it! My eyes widened and I reached out and caught her wrist.
Karin was shocked, but I still held her wrist and examined the ring.
"This ring…" I whispered.
Then Karin pulled her hand back and tried to catch it again but failed.
"Let go! This is a precious momentum of my mother! I won't let people like you touch it!" She screamed.
I had to see the ring, "let me see it for a moment, please!"
She held her hand close to her chest and yelled "NO!!"
Then, it glowed! The ring was reacting to her.
I held my hand out towards her and mine's and Himeka's face in shock.
The glowing soon died down and she was very surprised.
I reached my hand forward and asked "are you alright?"
She moved away from my hand and shut her eyes tight then yelled "what did you do?!" She flew her bag and me and ran away.
"Karin-chan…" Himeka whispered and I stood a little upset.
Normal POV
It started to pour down rain that evening without warning and Kazune sat on the couch understanding that this rain wasn't suppose to come. Himeka still had Karin's bag in her hands till she stood up and said "since we are leaving tomorrow, I'll go return her bag."
Kazune didn't really want to leave without Karin now that he knows who she is and what might happen to her now since her ring caused a reaction. And also, now 'he' knows for sure where the ring is now, but they couldn't cause any trouble for Karin and had to leave without her.
Himeka put on her shoes on and grabbed an umbrella. She looked back at Kazune and said "we found her, now you need to make your choice."
It was about a half-an-hour before Himeka got back. We were all packed up and ready to go. Himeka smiled at me and said "Karin-chan is going to come see us off."
Kazune nodded and slowly replied "she's probably coming to see you off, not me. She probably hates me."
Himeka's smile faded "don't say that Kazune-chan. It doesn't matter we probably not going… going to see her again anyway." She tried to smile again but instead a tear came out of the corner of her eye. "I… I don't want to leave Karin-chan. She's all alone and sad."
Kazune looked down and mumbled "I don't want to leave her, too, but we have to. I don't to ruin her life." The very softly under his breath Kazune whispered "again."
The next day they were all packed up and standing in the rain on a bridge. Everyone had an umbrella over their heads.
Kazune just kept staring at Karin but she wasn't paying attention.
"Take care, Himeka-chan." Karin said.
"Next time, you can come over to my place, okay?" Himeka said softly.
Karin looked over at Kazune and said "don't misunderstand! I just came here to see Himeka-chan off, not you!"
Kazune didn't listen and just asked calmly "has anything weird happened since the other day?"
Karin looked surprised.
"Since the ring shone, has any strange people appeared?" Kazune continued to ask.
"W-what are you talking about?" Karin asked in an odd manner and turned around "even if something did happen, it's none of your business!"
"So something happened, didn't it?!" Kazune had to know.
She looked down.
"'He' might come. If anything happens, tell me. If 'he' comes, it'll be when you're alone." Kazune said.
Karin though her umbrella and in a mad tone she said "I'll be okay, leave me alone!" Her umbrella flew into the river below.
She looked down again and mumbled "you this, you that, I'm Karin. Don't treat people like objects."
Kazune saw her standing in the rain and took off his coat and plopped it on her head. "Idiot, you'll catch a cold. Sorry. Just forget about me. I don't want to ruin your life." Kazune said then put his umbrella over her head. "I'm really sorry."
Karin continued to stand with her back to him.
"Karin. I'm glad I met you, even if it was short." Kazune murdered with a smile and still holding the umbrella above her.
"Kazune-kun?" She asked.
Kazune took her head and place it on the umbrella so that she would hold it. "That ring is a precious momentum, right?"
"Y-yeah."
"Treasure it well, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Karin-chan." Himeka said softly and sweetly.
As Kazune started to walk away Himeka hurried to walk next to him to hold the umbrella over the both of them.
"Wait!" Karin yelled after them but it died down in the wind.
Kazune wanted to go back to her and not leave her again but he knew he shouldn't. Himeka and Kazune just walked away letting the fog get between them and Karin.
Kazune turned back and couldn't see her anymore though the fog and him and Himeka kept walking away. He thought about the past and remember how he knew he wanted to see her again one day and was glad he actually could, even though he made her hate him.
