Strings of Camouflage
Chapter 2: Ja Ne! Karafuru Nichi! (Goodbye! Colorful Days!)
FLASHBACK:
"How long was it when I first enrolled in Seiso Academy? Err… Can't remember but one thing's for sure, it had been so long that memories of gaiety were still fresh in my mind… Even the slightest detail, it's there, it never faded nor disappeared."
"Memories, *sigh* nothing but pure reminiscences brought up by mere factual experiences… Yes, and it seems that I have made a complete fool out of myself. I thought this was going to last forever, these events that were etched in my heart. I thought I would never be left behind by those guys… Tsuchiura-kun, Shimizu-kun, Fuuyumi-chan, Yunoki and Hihara- senpai… And also the one I look up most up to… Tsukimori-kun. Well, admit it Hino, you aren't with the same levels as they are. They're much more than a step ahead of you and you will never be able to catch them… "
"Well, is it not the mere reason why you agreed with okaa-san to leave Japan? You feel like… An outcast, a wanderer, a lost lamb… "
(Reality)
"Kaho-chan!" called out Hihara to Hino.
Hino aroused from her nightmare-like daydream which in fact would later turn into reality.
"Ah, Ohayou Hihara-senpai." she flashed out a weak smile.
"So, are you free today Kaho-chan?" he asked.
"Eh." She thought that this might be the best time to tell Kazuki the truth, no not only Kazuki, in fact everyone concerned.
"Yeah, you know there's a candy shop I've wanted to visit and I was just asking if you would care to have you as company together with Azuma." He offered.
"No, this is the best time. You have to think on how you're going to say it to them! C'mon Hino! Spill it! Now!"
"Anou- Hihara-senpai, I want to tell you something… It's very important…"
"Sure, I'm listening." he's all ears now and then she started to speak, as she opens her mouth every word seems to hurt her and every sound she makes as she speaks those words couldn't help but break her heart to pieces, as she force those awful words that seems poison to her mouth , she couldn't help but whimper inside…
~0o0~
BANG!
The door flew opened and Hihara was standing right there, panting really hard.
The concour members, Fuuyumi, Tsuchiura, Yunoki, and Shimizu were all staring at the panting guy, which was Hihara.
"Hey, no running in the halls man, and knock first alright? You kind of scared us to death you know." humored Tsuchiura.
"U-Um… What seems to be the problem… Hihara-senpai?" said Shoko in a pliable voice.
"Kazuki, is there a problem?" Yunoki asked as he polishes his flute.
"*Pant* *Pant* *Pant* The problem is…*Pant* *Pant* Kahoko…*Pant*" he gasped .
"What about Hino-san?" Shimizu butted in taking interest.
"*Pant* *Pant* She's… *Pant*" he continued.
~0o0~
"WHAT?!?!?!?" they exclaimed.
"Wait, Hino, told you that? Are you sure it wasn't a gossip?" Ryoutaro asked trying to deny the fact.
"Ka-Kahoko-chan's leaving…?" Shoko queried.
"…"
"…"
"Yes, she said it herself, I wasn't able to ask the reason why she wanted to leave, the moment I opened my mouth she scrammed…" Hihara said, and shook his head.
For a second or two, time seemed to stop, it seemed that fatefully the hands of the clock stopped moving and a deafening silence filled the room, no one spoke, no one moved, not even an inch, it seemed that the world had stopped rotating around its axis. It was Tsuchiura who gained the strength to say a word.
"No…" then he headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" inquired Hihara who was greatly affected.
"I… I'm going to send some senses back to her." But Hihara stopped him.
"Kaho-chan needs time to be alone, to be able to think clearly." He proposed.
"It will be better if we do it now." Tsuchiura argued.
"Forcing Kaho-chan will only make--" Tsuchiura grabbed him by the collar.
"The best and only time is now! Do you understand?" he wheezed.
"Ryoutaro will only make things worse for Kaho-chan! Let her think for herself! If leaving Japan is the only thing that would make her happy then why should we snatch that happiness from her?"
"Happiness?! Outside Japan? Her happiness is here! It's because of us that's why she's happy. You think migrating from another country would make Hino-san happy?" he clenched his fist and withdrew his hand, but right after, Yunoki grabbed his fist.
"Violence is not the answer, Kazuki's right Ryoutaro, Kahoko really needs time for herself, if we really wanted the best for Kahoko, then we must do everything that would achieve her happiness, even if it means leaving us…"
~0o0~
"Why did you cry like that in front of Hihara-senpai?" she sniffed and her eyes worn-out from crying, her legs fatigued from running and her heart haggard from so much pain.
"You're a real idiot aren't you Kahoko? Ironically you wanted to leave but it hurts… It hurts so much, why do you want to leave anyway? It's because mom's getting a better job in Europe, and you know she can't be alone all by herself, your sister's currently working too… Then why? Why does it hurt so badly? Why does it feel you're going to lose everything Hino, why?! I mean you can still contact your friends through technology right? Right? Then why does it hurt so badly? Who is it that you won't let go?!" her inner self questioned her, just then she caught a glimpse of a silhouette shifting behind her and when she turned around…
"Tsukimori-kun?! "
