I'm back again to give new chap and firstly i want apologize to you all if my grammar is not good, cause english not my language but i try fix write english better from now. Maybe some phrase or grammar will look false and confuse but like i said i'm not that good use english so i'm sorry for that.

Seen Two person who be run and look like they in one side try to chase them but the other side try to avoid them with eye's full with tears.

" kotori! Wait! I'm beg to you don't avoid me any more, i can explain that so please stop running" said the girl while run fast to catch up kotori who seems not care with anything she said now and only fasten her run to go more far than ever.

Those two reach the stairs and kotori decide to go down but she is not be aware with her movement and suddenly her feet was slip and made her fall but before she fall, the girl who chase her before is already wrapped her arms to her and save kotori to fall. the situation was quiet no one dare to speak, that girl just hug kotori silently and not let out any words and remain silent.

Kotori who seem anxious with the situation begin to speak " sonoda-san can you now let me go, i'm okay thanks to you" whoever when kotori spell her surname like that, umi seems unloosen her hug but not release kotori from her hands.

" why you still don't release your hands at mine, I do not want you to touch me " kotori say coldly and tried to freeing herself from umi but umi is tighthend the hug and kotori can't beat her power and somehow it make kotori fell weak because this.

" do you hear me sonoda! Release me now! Don't act like a deaf and threaten me like this..." continue kotori angrily and when she was try to look at her face, kotori found umi was crying and let tears come out from hers eyes.

" s-sonoda what happen? Why you crying now? Do you was hurt, you fell unwell?" ask kotori worriedly seeing umi like this made her heart ache.

No words come from umi and make kotori more anxious, she tried to calm umi with stroking her hair gently and brushed her front hair that being covered her face.

For a while kotori look this hazelnut eye's again, they has deeper color than her's but somehow kotori can found loneliness in her's eye. Even though her eye was beautiful and sparkling but deep down umi hide a pain that can be reflected through her eyes, her's eyes seems empty and full with despair.

Umi-chan.. why when i see into your eyes, never at once i found slight lees happiness in there, her eyes filled with emptiness and loneliness. though I'm angry with you but still i-i... for unknown reason i can't hate you. I tried to avoiding you, i try to make myself hate you but.. when you appeared now i don't know why a half part of my heart was happy seeing you was alright but on the other half still hurted with you. I don't know anymore... and what make it worse, you who remained silent as and only cry while you hug me like this. Oh no.. it make me remember how warmth you touch against me, it made me safe and cozy in your's gentle arms. I can't let this anymore i-i must...

Kotori trying to wipe away tears on umi face, but but when kotori hand trying to touch her cheek umi held my hand gently. Kotori is startled by her actions.

" sorry.. please forgive me kotori. Give me a chance to explain everything to you" umi murmured softly into her ear.

" w-what! Why you so stubborn with this. Nothing gonna change between us" kotori ears suddenly felt tickled when her breathing was close to her, kotori ears turn red and feels hot.

" that's true, nothing will change on us, unless if i take a action to change that" reply umi with calm voice

" even if you do that, nothing will change between you and me. It's over to me"

" over for you but not me. I still hope that we can still be together"

" you moron! why are you so stubborn and act like this. Don't you see i hate you and wish not see you again" yelled kotori while she hit weakly umi who seems not affected with that.

" i can see that.. and i know that so well" said umi

No, you don't know well.

" i won't care if you insult or hurt me, but please don't hate me kotori. I can't bear the pain that you hate me like this, i want us be like before" umi continued

I don't hate you.. i-i'm just mad, i wish i can hate you like what my mind told but i can't.

" i want us to be a friend again, i want you give me your apolgy. If i must apologize to you million times until you forgive me, i will do that if that's cost your apolgy "

Before kotori answer one punch was suddenly land on umi face. kotori very shock with that and see umi fall hardly on the floor. When she tried to find who doing that, she find honoka stand in there with angry face and look like she want hit umi again.

Honoka look so scary and her eyes filled with anger and emotion, her hands was tremble to punch umi again but before she do that kotori stand in front umi.

" kotori! What are you doing?! Move, i want hit her so she won't dare to lay her finger to you" said honoka angrily

" honoka-chan don't do this, pleasee.. we can discuss this without fighting." Kotori guarding umi from honoka with spreading her's arm and stand still on her's spot.

" kotori why you like this? don't you hate her? You don't want to see her or she to touch you again right? But why now you protected her?" ask honoka with disbelieve voice with kotori action.

" i-i..." what honoka said was true why she is trying to protect umi. Don't she was mad at her but why her action was different with her mind.

" kotori it's okay.. you don't need to protect a person like me. You should be happy if you see someone you hate being hit like this." Said umi whose tried to regain her conscious and stand.

" that's wrong sonoda-san, how can i be happy if i see someone was hurt like this. Whatever the reason, if i hate someone i can't harm them like that. that's was false thing to do."

" b-but kotori"

" don't say anything anymore sonoda-san that's enough and can you don't call me with my first name, we aren't friends anymore. Call me by my surname for now, we aren't close like before. so, i hope you can understand that." Demand kotori while take honoka hands to leave from there and walk away.

I can't hold my tears if she call my name like that, it just bring those memory back and remind me how much happiness to heard your soft voice when you call me.

Though kotori while walking and for some reason she turned her head to look at back to find umi but she not see anyone in there.

Did she leave? I was dumb to think that she will remain in there and look me go away. Umi always like this disappear whenever kotori need her, umi was not in there.

As kotori not found umi she decide to walk away, but without kotori realizing umi is come out behind the walls.

Why i'am still be a coward until now? Why i still can't be brave to look kotori face. Although until that, kotori is still try to look at back but why i hide from her.. am i still feared with how will our relationship will be... i can't give up easily.

Umi whispered quietly to herself when she can just only see kotori back begin to fade away lefting her alone without any words let out from her's lips.

~ at the rooftop ~

Rin,nozomi,eli,honoka and kotori had lunch at the rooftop like usually but this time was different. The awkwardness can be felt by all of them but no one brave to say anything.

Nozomi can't bear the silence like this so she decide to broke the situation.

" so how about the new student? Rin, kotori you already meet them right?" ask nozomi who set her gaze worriedly on kotori who seems still sad about what happen to her before.

" umm.. i can't describe well her-nya but i think she was a brave girl" answer rin

"hmm... brave person? Did she do something amazing? Are she has bigger boobs than me and dare to make a competition about boobs size hehe" said nozomi playfully

" no.. no, not like that nozomi chan mouuu.. she was brave to talk with maki-nyaa"

" wow! That's such a brave thing rin-chan, are she was also a ojou-sama like maki?"

" uwaaah... i can't wait until i meet her's hehehee " nozomi said with evil smirk on her face like she was planning to do something to nico.

" what! Nico you say? I can't believe it." Suddenly nozomi face was brighten when rin say the information.

" it's no surprise if that person is brave enough to talk like that to maki. Nicochii surely the brave tiny girl in the world"

" nicochii? You know her?" ask eli who at before just eat silently without say anything but just open her mouth now when nozomi seems like known the new girl.

" yup, i known her. She my childhood friend elichii" reply nozomi

" oh like that " said eli quickly and continue to eat her lunch and nozomi know her girlfriend behavior so she just let it past.

" woah nozomi-chan i don't know you have a childhood friend-nya, you never tell us"

" oh my rin, that's because you're never asking that" said nozomi make rin pouted and just shrug her head.

" kotori-chan" said rin who look over to kotori. she is rarely being quiet like this, normaly she will join the discuss but now she just sit and stare down look her's lunch and remain like that through the lunch time.

" are you fine kotori?" ask nozomi seems worried about kotori weird act

No answer from kotori, she still remain like that until honoka shake her body and call her. " kotori.. kotori-chan! Do you heard us? Are you all right, you seems unwell after that incident" said honoka and when she mention incident, everyone seems suprised and was serious about what happen to kotori.

" honoka, what do you mean about the incident?" ask eli give her glares to honoka who seem troubled when she accidentally said that.

" why you don't answer me? Did something bad happen to kotori?" eli move closer to honoka

" umm eli-chan don't mad like that kay, it's just a little problem. Let's just e-eating for now, i'm starving " honoka tried to avoid eli question

" don't try to change the topic honoka, what little problem can made her sad like this?"

" ermm.. that's w-was"

" is that because the new student?" nozomi voice suddenly interrupt those two and made everyone startled.

" w-what nozomi-chan how do you know that?!" ask honoka can't believe nozomi know that.

" i know that because those new student is my friends, and i know well what the reason can make kotori like this" said nozomi

" nozomi, do you really mean that?" ask eli

" absolutely, but i can't tell you all unless kotori willingly let me tell that or even better if she was the one to tell that" nozomi throw her's gaze to kotori who seems awaken from her deep though and try to speak.

" i will tell you all but not for now, excuse me i must go to bathroom " kotori stand and walk out through the door. Everyone just exchange gaze to each other and continue eating.

But for somehow, it's look like in these grup was missing two person and everyone just realize that now.

" umm rin-chan it's just me or it's true that maki and hanayo not in here?" ask nozomi

" yeah, those two said had some bussines to do. So they was go together." Said rin bitterly with unsatisfied eyes.

" ah.. like that " It's seems like everyone had their own problem. I'm afraid they will stumble and fall but i think my problem wasn't easy too for resolved. Even my cards can't tell me what will happen in the future... ah but because this i can call her with these name hehe~ if we not in front her friends,i absolutely can't call her like that. I'm promise to myself, someday i can make her to be more open with me. Show her true self not the fake one. Nozomi smile bitterly and let out heavy sigh, eli look at nozomi with worry eye's and look a bit worried with her but she shrug these though away.
