Chapter 4 - Misunderstanding.
A/N: It's my birthday. Happy reading! I don't own Yuru Yuri nor Friedrich Nietzsche's famous Beyond Good and Evil (1886).
The blonde and brunette were strolling peacefully on the streets, bathed in the beautiful moonlight, hands intertwined. They just finished dinner outside in a classy restaurant, and Kyouko looked like she was in a real good mood, thanks to the bag of Rum Raisin that she was holding tightly in her hands. Even silence was the only thing that filled the atmosphere around them, the girls were really happy, especially the blonde. However, happiness wasn't the only thing that occupied her heart, as she was also very insecure, in spite of having Yui's hand with hers.
'What would I do if she despises me for it?'
The poor girl was thinking about her love that she had for her childhood friend ever since they were still just kids. She was planning to confess, yes. The events that happened in the recent days had made unable to hold her feelings anymore. Every time she was with the brunette, if she were not to restraint herself, she would have acted the way Chitose would when the girl ate chocolate - a kissing rampage. Desires were building rapidly inside her, and it felt like she would break anytime.
'What would I do if she leaves me?'
The blonde would had already shared her feelings if the person she loved wasn't her bestfriend. She feared the exact thing that anyone who had feelings for their friend - screwing the bond between them. But she couldn't hold her love to herself, not anymore. Thinking of those thoughts, the girl unconsciously tighten the grip around her friend's hand.
"What is it, Kyouko?"
Yui asked, seemingly concerned. Kyouko muttered all the courage she ever had in her whole 14 years life as her face became as red as a riped tomato. She knew she must do it, there was no way she would running away now.
'Alright...here goes nothing...'
She slowly parted her lips as she spoke sheepishly, stuttering like mad in the process.
"I-I...A-Actually, I had alwa-"
She was about to finish her sentence... But that was then, she saw something that startled her as her eyes widened in surprise and shock. Her father and mother, the merciless parent who kicked her out of the house was standing in front of Yui's apartment. Yui was surprised too as she stood dumbfounded for a few seconds before the girl started to shouted angrily at the two adult, obviously annoyed by their devilish grin on their faces.
"What do you want!?"
The blonde's father smirk just windened at the brunette shouted as he spoke mischeviously. Without doubt, the middle-aged man had something bad in mind. Yui just opened the door and pushed her friend inside, whispering softly at the girl's ear.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this."
After ensuring that the door was close firmly, she turned her attention to the couple, showing a rude attitude.
"Say it, what do you want? And don't expect forcing Kyouko to return!"
The girl gave a fore-warning. But the blonde's father just nonchalantly ignore the girl as he answered with a hint of sacarsm.
"You aren't going to invite us in?"
"You have no rights to enter my house! Just spit it out, what do you want?"
The man immidiately killed his smile at the fierce remark, as his voice suddenly got as cold as the winter night. He spoke after leaking a heavy sigh out of his mouth.
"I just came to say onething to you, young lady: He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."
Yui furrowed her eyebrows as she found the quote really hard to understand. The devilish smile returned to the man's mouth as he started to explain.
"You think what I did was wrong? What about you? You are just using my daughter, aren't you? I can tell from the first glance that you love my daughter, no sweat. So, you think you are better than me? You just a lesbian who are using homeless girl for your own good!"
Finishing the insult, the man instantly walked away, acting utterly disgusted, leaving the poor brunette alone, dumbfounded. The words then started to hit the girl. It was an undeniable fact that she was using the blonde for her own good, but she didn't realize it till now. She was protecting the girl simply because she loved her, simply just because that. She took the girl in because her desires to be near the blonde. At least, that was what she thought. The half of them, however, is the truth.
'I am no good, huh...? Even though Kyouko treated me as bestfriend... Even though the girl trusted enough to show me her true side... And yet, I am taking of advantage of her situation for my selfish feelings, not even protecting her at all... What kind of a friend am I?'
Dropping her head in self-disgust and depression, she slowly walked into her apartment. Meeting the blonde's gaze, she tried her best to fake a smile as she spoke tiredly.
"I'm sorry, Kyouko. But I'm little tired. I'm gonna sleep in the futon..."
The blonde's eyes widened in shock for the second time as she couldn't but asking, pouting childishly a little.
"EH? Why? I want to sleep together!"
Yui had no option else rather than lying. She replied, a tinge of cruelness in her voice.
"You have to grow up you know. I might leave you, one day."
Before Kyouko had a chance to say anything else, Yui had already entered the living room and readied her own futon. She crawled in with much haste and started to fakingly sleep. She knew Kyouko would be sad, she knew it for sure, so she didn't want to see the girl's face. And Kyouko was really sad. Tears were silently streaming down her eyes as she walked into the bedroom on her hand...
Both of them didn't got much sleep that night, as they cried a lot. They loved each other, yes they are. But unable to confess their feelings to each other, they gravely misunderstood each other. Unknowingly, that night, both of them whispered to their own among their tears almost at the same time.
"Why can't I tell you that I love you?"
They completely misunderstood each other!
A/N: Yeah, I hate sad scenes, so don't get mad at me if the depressing parts seemed a little rushed. I had enough bad things for my life already... That's why I am writing stories, you know, writing a happy ending for my life. Makes it easy to write, as I put myself in the place of the characters. Anyway, please R&R. Chapter 5 is coming very soon, and your support is much appriciated.
