Chapter Three: The Next Day
Ryoma had refused to play Ember the day before and in turn she ignored him by choosing to read instead of talk to the boy. Ryoma was feeling no guilt, after all he did not know how Ember was feeling and how could he when she does not say anything? It had nothing to do with tennis, it was about the kid's attitude. How arrogant can a five-year-old be? Well, Ember learned that five-year-olds could be very arrogant later that day.
A few hours of silence were too much for Ember. She had known that eventually she would erupt but she did not know she would laugh hysterically when it happened.
Ryoma felt oddly disturbed by the sight before him. The girl, who had been reading a dictionary, suddenlylaughed and fell off of the chair she had been sitting on. He flinched yet stayed silent as he watched for any sign of sanity. Even though he watched and waited he didn't see any. With that he realized he realized that it was in his best interest to slowly back away, but he did not because he was curious to see what she would do if he kicked her. So, he did and she fell silent almost immediately and in turn kicked his leg causing the small boy to topple over onto Ember. That of course resulted in the two wrestling and being placed into opposite corners (courtesy of Rinko).
Five Years Later
The day was warm and coincidentally so was Ryoma's smile but that would not last for long. Ember would visit today and she had bad news for her best friend. She was moving to Japan, in fact, she would be leaving in two hours, so she had no time to talk. Ryoma greeted her with a hug but she did not embrace the boy, she coldly told him she was moving and left in a hurry, all the while smirking inwardly.
Ryoma locked himself in his room for the rest of the week, only coming out to eat or go use the bathroom. Ember's actions definitely devastated the boy; of course they did because he honestly cared for her. Nothing could ever change that not, even the hatred that he steadily began to build. Even if he had to tear himself apart first he vowed to show Ember what she was.
Rival: Oh, what will happen next?
Yukimura: Stay tuned to find out. Next time on…
Niou: Words of Influence a new character will be introduced and things will get messy for little-miss-I-am-law! Will Ember take revenge on me or will she add my name to that to-kill journal she has?
