Chapter 1/2- Regretful

Mitsuzane has become what he had used to be…before he betrayed his own friends. A regretful feeling still couldn't break apart from his mind and heart. It always lingering inside him as if a depression has fell into a heartbreak. Now, he deserved of what he did, the consequences that backfiring himself. He felt distressed.

He was used to be a bad person before. He dared himself betraying his friends just because of a woman who he loved so much. He was the main cause of the catastrophic that nearly destroying Zawame City. He offered a cooperation with the Inves just to show to his friends that he also could be stronger. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong way.

The woman that he loved is Mai Takatsukasa, a female dancer from Team Gaim which also a team that he joined too. But everything went wrong when he expressed his anger towards a teen male who also his best of best friend, Kouta Kazuraba. He started doing a wrong thing, after he punched Kouta with his fist.

And now, Kouta and Mai have become the Overlords and he lost everything…

He lost all of his friends, his best of best friend, his crush and his everything. He had lost everything..

"I have lost everything…" Mitsuzane sighed sadly, watching Team Gaim and Team Baron teamed up together, performing a dance show at Zawame's Football field. He just stood at the end point of the field where he currently standing at the stairs. He watched them from the back.

Once the show has ended, he quickly left the field and ran towards somewhere. He didn't realise that Zack and Peko have noticed him since the show. Then, they told to the team members that they found him. With that, they quickly rushed, trying to catch him.

…

Zawame Hill

Mitsuzane sat on the top of the hill for about 30 minutes. He slanted under a big and fresh tree that only the highest on the hill. He still couldn't forget about the past incidents that he committed wrongly. But, he doesn't show his guilt towards Mai, otherwise, he felt really guilty towards Kouta. He felt je betrayed him, cooperate with Inves just because of Mai.

"Kouta-san…I'm so sorry."

He slipped his hand inside his pocket and took out a piece of paper that seemed to be a photo of Kouta and him, hanging out together. He was in verge of tears…

"Kouta-san….i-i'm so…sorry.." He sniffed badly. Whether in subconscious or not, he suddenly kissed Kouta in the photo. He said again, "My love…towards Mai-san..has vanished…"

He paused a while to give way for his sniff. He said back again, "I would…rather lost her from..losing the most special person in my whole life. It's…you, Kouta-san.."

And, he sobbed, "K-Kouta-san…please..come back. I need you.."

Few seconds later, Zack and friends came. He noticed earlier since he heard a group of loud steps approaching him. He was about to run away from there but he got unlucky when they got there first.

"Micchy, are you okay?" Asked Peko curiously.

Mitsuzane's voice tone was seemed like mad, he said, "What do you all want from me anyway? I'm nothing..just nothing."

Zack disagreed as well as the others, "You didn't lose anything, Micchy. You have us…"

"I made your life miserable because of my jealousy. I'm sorry, guys. You all should leave now.. Just leave me alone. It was all my fault…"

He saw they still not leaving away. He began scolding them, "You don't understand what i'm saying just now? Go away..i'm just a bad person. Now I deserved from what I did to you. Kouta-san and Mai-san probably still here if it's not because of me. Damn myself…I am a goddamn bad person." The tears flowed on his cheeks and it surprised them.

He continued, "I had made a thousand mistakes to both of them. But, it worst when I had committed a lot of mistakes to Kouta-san. I betrayed him…just because of her. The happiness that we shared before I turned out bad…I felt very regret..i'm so sorry.." He kneeled down on the ground, as if he couldn't stand anymore. He felt very weak, extremely weak. The guilt has succumbed himself.

Suddenly Chucky walked closer to him. She was very mad at him when he kept blaming himself. She knew that the tragedy that happened was all his fault but it is the past that he had to forget it. She scolded to him, "This is not Mitsuzane Kureshima that I knew so far!Micchy that I know is cheerful and happiest person. He's the most important people in our group where he is our main back bone of the group. He doesn't let his hatred and anger controlling himself just because of someone that he shouldn't argue it. Yes, frankly I know he's afraid sometimes but it is not a reason for him to avoid happiness that he held all the time."

Still, Micchy cried sobbing, couldn't accept the truth from her, "I lost everything…"

She can't control her temper anymore. She became mad and she scolded him madly, "What the exactly that you're thinking about?!You don't lose anything!You still have us who cares about you a lot and you said that you lost everything?!Micchy, I can slap you because of that!Honestly!You didn't actually love Mai because you felt afraid if…" She paused a while to let her anger out from herself. Then when she has calmed, she continued,

"You felt very afraid if Kouta knows that you…had fell in love with him."

Mitsuzane and the others were utterly shocked with the statement they heard. Micchy had his eyes widened, as if what she said was true at all.

She continued, "You knew that Mai wouldn't give herself to love you because…she also knew that you also loved him. That's why Mai felt very mad at you for slapping your own biggest crush just because pretending to love her which you actually doesn't love her after all. What are you thinking about, Micchy? Working together with the Inves..just to prove that you also could be stronger as Kouta and then love her? You are terribly wrong…Kouta does love you after all. That's why…Kouta willingly sacrificing himself just to save you from being killed during you used the hell lock seed. You still can't see it?"

Mitsuzane stood up, still bowing his head. He just simply said, "Just…let me alone for a while.." He left them just like that as he left the river, heading somewhere.

Pierre said, "Just leave him alone for a while. He needs space to think about it…"

She just nodded as she rejoined with them. Then they also left the river, heading back to the stage where the fans were waiting for the next dance show. It was a tense moment between both sides.

'Could I love him…just like we're used to be when we're friends?'
