Me: Hey there…

Setsuna: What's got her so bummed?

Konoka: A huge storm hit her country

Setsuna: Oh…

Me: It's ok… I just wish more people will donate things to those affected

Tsukoyomi: It'll be ok (attempts to kiss)

Me: (pushes face away)… I don't own anything… enjoy…

Why Aren't You Here

Konoka sat near the gate of the estate waiting patiently for her beloved best friend, Setsuna. She waited and waited but Setsuna never came. She was about to give up and return inside but then she saw a figure of a woman coming closer. The chocolate-haired girl stood up and she saw that it was Motoko. She ran up to the older girl excitedly only to find out that she was alone.

"Where's Secchan?" she asked right away

Motoko frowned and knelt down "I'm sorry Konoka-ojou-sama but Setsuna is… a little under the weather and can't come today"

"ok…" Konoka looked at her in a sad way "but she will come tomorrow right?"

Motoko smiled at her "maybe"

Konoka smiled back "thank you Motoko-san" and off she ran

'What a sweet girl' Motoko thought and went back to the Shinmeriyuu

Konoka ran to her and Setsuna's favourite play area. She grabbed her ball and started tossing it up in the air over and over again. While she was playing by herself she heard someone call her name

"Konoka-chan!" Konoka turned around and saw Daichi running towards her "Hey there" he bowed. Konoka bowed back "good morning Daichi-kun"

Daichi looked around and noticed that Setsuna wasn't there "so where's you're little friend"

"You mean Secchan?" Konoka asked "I was told she was sick and couldn't come today"

Daichi smirked "Are you sure?"

"Huh?" Konoka asked quizzically

"I mean, is she really sick or is it because she's tired of seeing you around"

Konoka shook her head "no that can't be it she's just needs rest that's all"

"She's been ignoring you a lot lately right?"

Konoka gritted her teeth "Sh-she just doesn't feel like playing is all"

"Is that really the case?"

Konoka stared at him angrily for a while but his facial expression didn't change, he was serious about what he was saying "d-do you really think that? Do you really think Secchan hates me now?" Daichi nodded. A tear fell down Konoka's eye and she quickly wiped it off "I-I'll be in my room" and she ran back to her bedroom crying all the way there.

Daichi stood there smiling to himself "finally I can put my plan into action" and after laughing his evil laugh he walked casually to the heiress' room. He opened the door and found Konoka laying down on her bed crying her heart out. Daichi tried to look sympathetic and walked over to Konoka "umm…. Konoka-chan…" he held her right shoulder. Konoka turned around and saw Aichi looking all worried. She got up and began to cry in Daichi's arms "it's ok Konoka-chan"

"How can you be so sure?!" she yelled

"Because you have me" he smiled

Konoka stopped crying for a while and looked up "really?'

He nodded

Konoka hugged him tightly "thanks Daichi-kun"

Daichi pushed her away a bit and asked "so do you want to pay outside now?" Konoka nodded happily. They both ran outside and began playing a nice game of tag.

After awhile Konoka started to become tired. She asked Daichi if she could read his fortune Daichi gladly accepted the offer. As they entered Konoka's room Daichi sat on the floor while Konoka got her cards. When she got them she sat down on the floor facing him and began to place the cards on the floor.

The young princess asked him a few questions and picking up a few cards and finally looking at the last one she began "It says you will have a great challenge ahead of you" Daichi gulped at how deep Konoka's voice was "It also says that you will be with the person you are meant to be with in the future" stared at the cards blankly not knowing the meaning of what she just said.

Daichi smiled at her "I guess that means us right Konoka-chan, we'll stay with each other forever and that's a promise" the last word hit Konoka like a ton of bricks. She then remembered the promise she and Setsuna made a few days ago

"Don't worry Kono-chan I won't leave you but please let go"

"Promise? You promise you won't leave me?"

"I promise"

Konoka, still in her fantasy world, suddenly mumbled the word 'Secchan' and Daichi noticed. He took hold of Konoka's shoulders and began to shake her awake "Konoka-chan! Konoka-chan! Are you ok?" Konoka returned to the real world and began to say the name of her shy ebony-haired friend over and over again.

Daichi became annoyed by this and sought a solution "Konoka-chan don't you remember that Sakurazaki-san is the one that left you an-" before he could say another word he was interrupted by Konoka "Don't you dare say that!" she yelled "Secchan is my friend, no, she's my BEST friend"

"But didn't she leave you fo-"

"NO she didn't!" she shouted "she will never leave me, she can never leave me! She promised me!"

"Are you sure she's going to keep her promise?"

"Yes I do and if you don't like the fact that she's my friend then I think you should go home now!"

Daichi, annoyed by what just happened, stomped out of the room. Once out he crossed his arms and whispered "It seems that this Secchan of hers will be a greater threat than I thought" he chuckled "it doesn't matter I'll deal with her later"

Me: …Done

Setsuna: Aren't your classes suspended? And isn't this your fifth day of suspension? Shouldn't you be happy at least?

Me: Would I be happy knowing almost everyone in our country is suffering!!!!

Everyone: …….?
