Chapter Four
"Forgiveness"
Shindou went back home, he quickly went to his room and at the same time crying. As he arrived to his room, he closed the door and leaning on to it. Then he continued crying,
Why am I acting like this? Shindou questioned in his mind,
Why whenever I see someone with Kirino I keep on crying? He questioned again. There was a lot in his mind, questioning why he kept on feeling an aching feeling in his heart. Is it just because he is his best friend? Or is it something else?
Could it be that… He stopped his statement for a second then continued,
…I have feelings for Kirino? Shindou then slightly blushed then shook it off,
"No… It can't be true! H-He's my best friend!" he muttered,
Someone then knocked the door,
"Takuto-sama?" it was the maid who knocked,
"Hai" Shindou said,
"Mr. and Mrs. Shindou wants to speak with you."
Shindou stood up,
"Okay." He said softly.
Class has dismissed, the team as usual went again to the soccer clubhouse, but this time Kirino is there too but it a very bad mood,
The team looked at Kirino worried, he was just sitting down at a corner, with his head close to his knees and arms embracing his legs,
"Ne Kirino-san? Are you just gonna sit there?" Hayami said to the depressed Kirino, but he ignored,
Hamano placed a hand behind his head, "How long he's been like this?"
"After recess, I think…" Hayami said, "When I saw him in the rooftop he was already crying." He continued,
"What's he depressed about?" the third year, Amagi Daichi said,
"We don't need to be worried about him, it'll work out someday." The relaxed Minamisawa said, he was the only one who did not get worried about him,
"Quit being so heartless Minamisawa!" Amagi said angrily,
"Don't worry about me guys…" Kirino finally spoke, but in a very low tone, the team looked at him,
"Kirino! Finally! What's wrong with you anyway?" Hamano said,
Kirino looked away,
"Ne, Kirino-san! Where's Shin-sama?" the quiet second year, Yamana Akane said eager to know where he is,
Kirino embraced both his legs tighter, and clenched his teeth then tears started falling,
"Did something happened between you and Shindou?" Sangoku asked,
Kirino then cried louder, he couldn't answer him, he was to depressed,
Sangoku held Kirino's shoudlers trying to comfort him, then the team came closer too, trying to cheer their friend up.
The dark blue haired, Tsurugi, slowly walked straight, going to his destination, which is the riverbank. As he arrived there, an male adult had just stood at the center of the field as if that person was waiting for someone, and that someone is him. Tsurugi came close to him,
"Tsurugi, how did it go?" the man said,
"It's doing pretty well Kantoku, soon the so-called Kami No Takuto will quit that Raimon Eleven." Tsurugi said giving a grin. The man or as Tsurugi says, his coach, grinned as well.
After Shindou is finished with supper, he went to the music room doing his daily hobby of playing the piano, also doing a practice for a piano competition that his parents told him to join, but still it didn't go well, he kept thinking of him.
I can't compete the contest like this! He clenched his fist,
I-I… I have to quit the team… I can't face Kirino anymore!
Kirino was at home, laying down on the bed, doing nothing but think, his phone was next to him with several messages coming from his friends in the soccer club worried,
He then got out of bed and and took his cellphone with him, he took an album on his shelf. He sat down and opened the album, he looked at different pictures of the time he transferred to Raimon. There were lots of good memories there. Most of them are him and Shindou together, he then smiled gently.
"Shindou… I want you to know that…" he stopped his mutter,
"I love you…" then tears fell down,
"I have never wanted us just to be best friends… I wanted more than that…" he closed his album,
He stood up, and thought that he should fix their friendship again, he quickly ran out of to the front door, wearing his shoes and then heads out,
He ran and ran, he wanted to say sorry to him and possible, he want to confess to him. He arrived to his house, he panted. He rang the doorbell. A maid walked near the gate,
"Yes, may I help you?" the maid asked,
"C-Could I speak with Shindou?"
"Takuto-sama? He's busy playing the piano right now."
"Please, j-just for awhile…" Kirino said,
"Okay, follow me" the maid said leading him to where Shindou is.
"Should I do this?" Shindou asked to himself,
"I have always dreamed of being in a soccer team, but…"
The maid then knocked,
"What is it?" Shindou asked,
"Takuto-sama, Kirino-sama is here. He wants to talk to you."
Shindou eyes widened,
"K-Kirino? ! W-Why is he here?"
"I don't know, but he said it is important."
W-What should I do? I-I can't just let him leave, or else he might think I hated him… Shindou thought,
He then stood up.
He opened the door, the maid was standing in front of him along with Kirino.
"K-Kirino…"
"S-Shindou…"
The maid bowed and left them,
Shindou's heart was beating fast, his face is slightly turning red,
"W-What do you want?" Shindou said not having eye contact at him,
"I-I want to say I'm sorry Shindou… about everything that happened…" Kirino said softly, Shindou didn't answer,
"Shindou, please forgive me!" Kirino said,
"Shindou!"
Then Kirino have felt a warm feeling wrapping around him, Shindou hugged him while shedding tears,
"I-It's not your fault Kirino… I-It's mine…" he said, then Kirino, too, shed tears,
"I was the one who got angry at you for no reason, I know you just wanted to help…"
"Shindou…" then he hugged him back.
