It gets funnier

It was hot. Swelteringly hot that she was sweating hard under her short blond wig. She had no idea how wigs could have been so thick. If she'd known in the first place, she would have tossed aside the wig and the stupid idea of 'going incognito'.

She sighed and kept repeating to herself that whatever she was up to wasn't entirely a stupid idea. 'Keep telling it to yourself and even you might believe it.' Her thoughts rotated on that sheer logic.

But, to be honest, she had no idea how she ended up wearing a thick wig and a pair of sunglasses inside a beat up Toyota that-God forbid-didn't even have an air conditioner. Of course she had to roll down the window and that resulted in her wearing what she dubbed as her 'incognito clothes'.

A sigh escaped her lips again. "Just go outside to the balcony already." She mumbled.

Kagami Taiga

Kagami Taiga had just woken up.

He was surprised to see Alex cuddling up next to him instead of a certain someone he was used to. But, this was Alex after all. He hardly cared that she was there. Well, at least she had the decency to wear some clothes this time.

A frown appeared on his face as he remembered their little breakup last night.

His hand reached for his wallet on the bed table and he flipped it open to find a small card. Maeda Yuu that was her name. It had been a joke every time anyone mentioned her name.

"I'm looking for Yuu." "Haaa? Why are you looking for me?" or "Yuu." "Me?" "Not you. Yuu." He'd never forget those stupid conversations he was subjected to for simply knowing her.

And he'd never forgotten that time he'd almost punched someone for to worst pick up line he'd ever heard. "Hey, you and oh… Heeeeey Yuu." His was deeper now. Brows furrowed as he recalled it. 'Well, whatever. She's gone now and yeah.'

Taiga stood up. Slowly, of course, he didn't want to wake the hung over Alex. And he made his way to the balcony.

He was barefoot and shirtless, but he hardly cared.

He stared at the sunrise-the slowly forming colours, the pinkish hue, then orange, then slowly yellow. The horizon was clear, save for some clouds. It was a nice sight and usually he shared it with a certain black haired individual and they enjoyed it in silence.

'Deciding to watch the sunrise alone was a bad decision.' Taiga didn't say it, but he knew that it was true. Just what was he thinking, throwing her out like that. Did she get home alright? Maybe I should call her to make sure she got home safe. Or maybe I could just apologize and say I didn't mean shit last night. Maybe I should just-

No.

She had to stop. Yuu had to learn to do this on her own. She had to do this alone, this time.

She had to.

Taiga had always been there for her. Maybe that's why Yuu thought she could get away with this crap. Well, this shit was over. He looked up again and realized that the sunrise was over. The sun was up and it was time to wake up.

Maeda Yuu

He'd seen her. She had been spotted and she was so screwed.

Those were the first things that came into her head when she saw Taiga on the balcony. He'd been looking at the red washed out car in front of his apartment. I mean, how could he not? It was the shittiest car he'd probably ever seen.

He probably saw it and knew what she was up to.

Inconspicuous, her ass

'This piece of junk attracted more attention and did her more damage that good. I mean, Taiga had seen the crap on wheels is just the fucking worst shit a girl could ask for.' Yuu rambled on and on, while trying to hide her face from the car window. She'd resorted to bowing her head lower and lower as each second passed.

Any second now, Yuu was sure of it that Taiga would just march down from his apartment and confront her on why she was there. What exactly did she have as an excuse?

"Oh nothing, I just wanted to stalk you for a few hours and watch the sunrise with you like we usually do." would probably make her sound like a lunatic and she'd be in the nearest police headquarters after… That or the closest asylum.

Considering she was supposed to be leaving the country in a few hours, both circumstances would be an inconvenience.

Yuu wanted to apologize and pretend to get her stuff to at least see him face to face. She'd smile and they'd have small talk and maybe he'd take her back. Maybe, maybe he would.

If she had the courage to get out of the damned car, then she'd have a small lingering chance. Small was an understatement. Yuu knew that even microscopic was too big of a word to use for it, but she had a change.

She looked at her watch and gave out a strained smile.

"I still have a few more minutes."

Kagami Taiga

He was in shock.

Kagami Taiga was rendered both speechless and immobile. How had this happened? When? "Two weeks ago the Maeda Ichirou passed away. The family wanted his death kept private until yesterday. Yesterday, the Maeda family along with their closest friends pay their respects at his funeral. Mr. Maeda died at the age of…"

Two weeks ago? She'd been- He'd been- What was this crap? What the fuck was this? Just what the fuck was going on?

His eyes were there, stuck on the TV, but he hadn't heard most of the words that came out of the reporter's mouth. Did he just say-

What the fuck did he just say?!

Maeda Yuu

In the end, Maeda Yuu, daughter of the renowned business tycoon and owner of the Maeda & Co. Corporation-Maeda Ichirou, chickened out. It was too fucking stupid to mess up his life again, she reason. What exactly was she fucking doing here anyway? Was this some stupid messed up way of her telling Taiga that she was leaving?

Was this a way out that she wanted? Did she honestly think that after all that shit she could just, just ask him to stop her?

What kind of sick twisted person was she? Deep down, Yuu knew she wanted more than anything for Taiga to come back to her life, tell her everything was going to be okay and to reassure her.

She wanted him to reassure her that she didn't have to go… that she didn't have to leave the goddamned country, for crying out loud.

…

Fuck.

For the first time in her life, she knew exactly what she wanted and this time she knew how to get what she wanted.

But fuck it all, she couldn't do it.

For the first time in her life, Maeda Yuu, decided that she wasn't running away from her problems anymore.

She had to face them.

She had to do this. She had to do this alone. She just had to.

Or maybe it gets sadder
