"Im home..." said a rather tired Dia Kurosawa.
No one awsered her call, Dia thought it might mean that Ruby was away with Hanamaru and Yoshiko or well somewhere else that wasn't home.
Dia moved slowly through the house each step heavier than the last, she headed into her room and closed the door quickly.
She sat down, laid some books on her small table and began studying. And as she studied and pondered upon her general life, slowly and slowly her mind drifted. She began to think of them again, of Mari and Kanan, and how they began dating about a month ago. As their friend she couldn't have been happier, after all, Dia thought they'd make a cute couple but...
Tears began to slowly stream down her face, sobs shortly following them.
It was so unfair, why couldn't her love realize her feelings but noticed Mari's feelings instead? She stayed with her for two whole years, two years in which they spent nights talking of the future or relationships, looking at the ever calm sea or even just staring into the full moon which seemed to fill the night sky, outshining any star.
Maybe Mari was like the moon in the sky to Kanan, it filled it and it shone brighter than any star around it. Maybe that's why she was left unnoticed, left forgotten.
Her small sobs and trailing tears in her face turned into all out crying, her sobs louder as she thought more and more of them. Her tears whom no one would dry streamed just as a river flows, unending and unwavering, but filled with the reflection of the full moon's shine in the night sky.
"Onee-chan...?" a small voice came from the slowly opening door.
"R- Ruby...? Is that you..?" Dia said between her loud sobs and sniffs.
The door opened with a slam and the small figure of her twin-tailed sister quickly came to her side and hugged her.
"Onee-chan are you ok?! Why are you crying?!" her concerned little sister asked.
Dia sat hugging Ruby tightly without awnsering the question, still sobbing and sniffing, tears still streaming down her face.
"It's... just unfair!" Dia finally let out, her voice cracking and her tears falling harder than ever.
Ruby hugged her big sister tightly, shushing her and whispering things were gonna be fine, that if things were bad, they would be done in no time, that after the darkest nights came the brightest mornings.
After a while, Dia regained composture and dried her tears, she still sniffled once in a while but tears were no longer falling.
"Onee-chan... Do you wanna talk about it...?" Ruby said rather shyly, not wanting to make her sister cry again.
"...No it'll be ok, Ruby..." Dia awnsered after sniffing once more "... Its just that, stuff has been piling up too much and I feel too overwhelmed by life..." added Dia to her comment.
"But im jealous of Mari, because Kanan noticed her love before mine's, even though we spent so long together" Dia thought to her self, not wanting to tell Ruby of that part.
"Are you sure, Onee-chan? Is that really all?" Ruby asked again to make sure.
"Well I- I- Its nothing important..." Dia stuttered, realizing what she was about to say. "Maybe I had just bottled up too much..."
"Mmm... Ok then Onee-chan! I'll believe in you!" Ruby said rather cheerfully "Lets keep giving it our Rubesty ok?"
"Yes yes..." Dia awnsered, a small, lonely smile forming on her face.
"Well, I'll go now Onee-chan!" Ruby quickly followed "I was supposed to meet with Hanamaru and Yoshiko to study at the cafe."
"Well, dont let me stop you" Dia said, her confidence coming back to her "Just- ah, be careful on your way there ok?"
"Ok, Onee-chan!" Ruby said smiling, picking up the stuff she needed "I'll be going now!" she said, as she was leaving.
"Yeah, good luck Ruby!" Dia quickly said, waving at her.
As Ruby left the front door, Dia finally added.
"I wish I could tell you what really is happening..."
And her tears began to fall again.
