Shinichi's POV
The last thing I remember is Shiho's peaceful sleeping face then I found a strong penetrating light bothering my eyes causing me to open it. I opened my eyes slightly. The stark light made me blink a few times to get used to it.
'Why did I forget to pull off the curtains!'
I ran my hand through my hair after I completely woke up. Without prior notice, I found myself lying on the ground. Every bone in my body ached due to the stern surface of the floor.
"Wow... That was really a cozy sleep." I laughed at myself.
Startlingly, I stopped myself when I found her. Miyano was still lying on the opposite couch fast asleep. She looked so serene when she was asleep. Her undisturbed calm features showed her real esteem when it was devoid of her sarcasm and cool facade.
Slogging my thoughts away, I looked at the clock on the wall.
08:15 A.M
"Oh no! I am late!" I found myself crying her name out forgetting that she was drowned in her sleep.
"Oi.. Miyano, We are late!"
"One...e..san.." She was frowning in her sleep stuttering about her sister. I stepped on my knees gazing at her, Somehow, I got upset watching her still suffering nightmares of her deceased sister even though the Syndicate was gone. I remembered Masami Hirota the one whom I couldn't save.
Moving off the terrible memories, I shook her slightly trying to wake her up, "Miyano."
She aroused suddenly panting, "Wha—" She cut off her words recognizing me beside her.
"Kudou?"
"What are you doing in my room?"
I couldn't help but grin at her temporary amnesia, "Hey, Since when did the living room become your room?"
Shiho grimaced at me then sighed as she remembered last night, "Oh I see.. I slept here last night." I don't know if I saw it right or she was really in complete embarrassment.
"C'mon. We'll be late for school! It's almost 8:30!" Shiho glared at me as though I was insane and didn't move from her place.
"What?"
"We have no school today!" Shiho crossed her arms furiously.
"He he.. I forgot." I scratched the back of his head uncomfortably.
"Shinichi! When did you come?" Hakase cried out when he saw Shinichi as the latter grinned sheepishly exchanging a significant look with Shiho who smirked back.
"Um.. early."
"Yeah... Very early." Shiho remarked from the kitchen making Shinichi roll his eyes.
"Come on. Breakfast is ready." Shiho informed them as she sat down.
"Thanks, I'm not hungry. Goodbye." Shinichi replied.
Hakase steered his gaze towards Shiho as though asking for help, "You haven't eaten anything, Shinichi!" he said.
"Thanks Hakase, later" he said and got his jacket over his shoulder turning to the outdoor. As he got out of the house, he heard the door open again behind him then found himself face to face with Shiho who was crossing her arms.
"How come you're not hungry when you didn't eat anything?" she raised an eye brow at him.
"Stay aside, Miyano. I don't feel like it." he rolled his eyes.
"You're behaving like a child. Look at you! You are a living corpse. Drob it, Kudou!" she yelled at him.
"I am not a child to hear your commands and look who's talking... You, the one who tried thousands of times to kill herself!" Shinichi bawled. Shiho flinched taken aback by his harsh words.
Few seconds from their spooky silence which filled in the atmosphere, Shiho retreated back quite a step and closed the door behind her without saying another word.
Shinichi still stared at the spot where she was. He felt guilt overwhelming him as the sound of the slamming door resonated in his ears.
'Damn it. Why did I tell her this! She was just trying to help me!'
.
"Is everything okay, Shiho-kun?" Hakase spoke as he saw Shiho's pallid face when she returned back from her short talk with Shinichi.
"Shiho-kun?" he called her again when he found no answer coming from her.
"Y-yes, Hakase. Don't worry." she smiled despite herself reassuring him.
"Aren't you going to complete your breakfast?" he asked innocently.
"No, Go on without me. I will rest in my room." she said and left him perplexed by her sudden weird change.
'What's going on? Are they planning on a diet?' Hakase then shrugged and continued his breakfast.
.
Standing at the back of the door, Shiho closed her eyes biting her lower lip, pressing back the tenacious pain in her heart. She felt as if her heart was torn into two pieces. She thought that being by his side after all they have been through was at least a friend thing... A trustful relation... But it seemed that she is nothing to him but the one she had been before... Sherry. The Syndicate's ex-member who had a dreadful past and uncertain future. 'Even though Ran had released his heart.. It seems that his heart will always be held by hers.'
'No matter how I try to help him, he will never know what he means to me..'
