Friendship VS Romance
Kimiko: I'm updating this rather quickly I see, but that's because I'm sick and at home so yea now I can update it. I am really curious about what to do
about this break up since there's a dance recital coming up soon and Nagihiko and Kimiko are in the same school, but how did you like the twist of
Damon being a long lost friend? Oh yea no one expected that, everybody was like: " Do they have a romantic past" or " Is he the kid from the orphanage
". Well let me tell you, I bet you I caught all of you of-guard! Lol! I'm thinking of putting a poll up on whether Kimiko should cut her hair that keeps
dragging on the ground so check it out please.
Rima: Please R & R
Chapter 10
~ Kimiko's POV ~
I awoke to Liana hugging me and gave her a weak smile which she returned. She sat on my bedside and Mom was standing in the door with a cup of hot chocolate.
" You want to stay home today? " Mom asked and I nodded curling myself into a ball
Mom probably knew how I felt because she didn't push me to go to school. Liana was already dressed and she promised me she would get my homework for me. When the doorbell rang Liana raced down the stairs and Kukai's voice could be heard from downstairs, suddenly someone was climbing up the stairs and I swore if it was Nagihiko I wouldn't cry. But it was just Nadeshiko who ran to me and hugged me, she didn't realise it hurt me to see her because she looked so much like Nagihiko but I didn't tell her.
She was one of my friends and it would hurt her if I told her that. She said a quick goodbye and they all left for school. Mom came back into my room and set a cup of hot chocolate on my night stand.
" I have to go to work I'm so sorry Honey " she said apologetically
" It's okay, I'll go to dance practise after school like a normal teenager " I said and mom hugged me
" You are so strong, my little girls been thru her first heartbreak and yet she still pretends like it's nothing. Do you think me and Liana can watch today Honey? " Mom asked
" I'm sure Fujisaki-sensei wouldn't mind " I told mom and she smiled
" Then be ready when school comes out I'll pick you up and on our way we'll get Liana " Mom said
" Mom.. " I started but the words stopped in my throat
" Yes honey? " she asked
" I... I was thinking of cut.. cutting my hair " I said my voice shaking
" Are you sure honey? " she asked
But truth was I wasn't, the thought had occured to me to make me less reconizable but I really did love my hair so, did I really want to cut it?
" Think about it first " Mom said when she realized I didn't reply
After that Mom left the room to call Fujisaki-sensei and find out about the dance practise, before she left she gave me a kiss on the forehead and put my laptop on my nightstand. I quickly went on facebook and changed my status from in a ' relationship ' to ' single '. Nagihiko had probably already changed his but I didn't bother even going to his profile.
~ Nagihiko's POV ~
Great, somehow I ended up being the villian of the story but she fricken broke my heart, Nadeshiko had told mom I had broken up with Kimiko and Mom said it had nothing to do with our dancing and she didn't take side's. Nadeshiko left when Kukai came around and said he was on his way to get Liana but I said I would pass and walk on my own, Mom's phone rang not to long after but I had to leave before I could hear what they were talking about. I took a root to school that no one ever used and found it to be peaceful.
When I walked into the gates Rima and Liana, even sweet Yaya was glaring at me, not to long after I made it to class to find Kukai already at our desk
" Hey dude " he waved and smiled at me
I sighed and went to our desk
" Everybody thinks I'm the damn bad guy Kukai " I told him
" You mean everybody as in Liana, Rima, Yaya and your own sister then yeah " Kukai said
" I didn't do anything she fricken cheated on me " I said irritated
" Yes but how sure are you, you didn't miss understand? " asked Kukai
" You know I rarely ' Miss understand ' " I told Kukai
" That's true " Kukai admitted
" Yes I'm going to talk to her to get my name cleared " I told Kukai
" Then you're gana wait a long time, apperantly she's thinking about transferring back with that Damon dude to her original home town. Liana told me apparently they go way back, he knew her before her parents died and there like family " Kukai told me and I scoffed
" Don't tell me you believe that junk, what guy comes all this way for a girl who left years ago? " I asked Kukai
" Well.. uhh.. that's a good question " admitted Kukai and the sensei walked in.
~ Liana's POV ~
Classes had been really boring without Kimiko, I was really worried about her. When the bell rang for school to end I quietly made my way to the royal garden with a bag that felt really heavy on my shoulder. When I got to the royal garden I saw just Nadeshiko and Tadase were there and I was kinda grateful, I went to them and lowered my head. It felt like this bag was burning thru my flesh and I quickly took the blue cape that was in it out. I handed it to Tadase without looking at him
" She's not coming back? " he asked
I quickly looked up to meet his eyes
" Yes, she's coming back but she's coming back with a new identity so no one will reconize her, I came to give in her cape but I don't want her to change, this is all his fault . " she whispered
Suddenly a bored looking Nagihiko walked in.
~ Nagihiko's POV ~
I was infront of the royal garden when I heard Tadase ask someone
" She's not coming back? " he asked
And then there was a dead silence and I went into the royal garden and all eyes fell on me but I just smiled at everyone. Tadase took the blue cape from Liana, nodded and put the cape on the table. Soon after everybody started coming when Yaya saw the cape she burst out crying and I saw even Rima looking sadly at it, when everybody was there and sitting or standing around the table Tadase cleared his throat.
" As from today Nakahara Kimiko is no longer a guardian of Seiyo Academy. If Miss Nakahara decides to return we will happily welcome her back " Tadase said that last part looking at Liana
" Nagihiko this is all your fault " My own sister said coldly to me
But did Kimiko really leave the guardians because of me? Would she really leave Liana alone with the guardians? I looked at Liana who was crying into Kukai's chest, so then Kimiko really was leaving the guardians.
All our chara's suddenly came to us and told us there were x-eggs at the park and we all quickly went but when we got there all the x-eggs were destroyed by one x-egg who cracked into a x-chara. Liana's breath suddenly caught in her throat at the sight of Alice as an x-chara, but why was Kimiko's egg and x-egg?
" Smiling is useless, being happy is useless ! " yelled the x-Alice before shooting sad faces at us
" Alice stop " Liana said thru tears
" Is that really what Kimiko think's, is that really what she wants you to be? " asked Nadeshiko
Suddenly a figure could be seen in the bushes and x-Alice smirked
" Love is useless, love is useless " the figure said and Alice chara changed with the figure
" Chara Nari - Broken dream " shouted the figure and came from out of the shade.
She was wearing black tights with a blood red dress and blood red balley flats, her hair was stained pitch black and her orbs were black to.
" It's useless, life is useless " exclaimed the girl
Everybody charac changed but we were stopped by Liana who put up a barier
" I'm sorry but I can't allow you to hurt either one of them, she is just a sad girl that x-Alice has taken possesion of " said Liana who then looked at the girl
" Alice, Kimiko would not want this, she's going thru a ruff time now you do this, I understand you hate seeing her like that, but don't give up just because she tells you to leave her alone, continue to try and make her smile! " Liana told x-Alice
" B-but... but.. but " Suddenly Alice got a question mark on her forehead and Liana purified her
Liana catched both the girl and Alice and set them down
" Taking possesion of other people's body wasn't right Alice " Liana explained to a sleeping Alice
Suddenly Liana's Mom pulled up infront of the park and Liana and Nadeshiko along with Kukai got in.
Liana had taken Alice with her and I realised I was late for dance practise so I apologized to the rest and ran off.
When I got home Liana's Mom's car was parked infront of our house and I had no clue what was going on, when I went inside I found the practise room's door shut and Kimiko's dance's song playing. Mom had locked the door so I couldn't see what was going on inside, suddenly the music stopped.
" Kimiko-chan, your dance has to be joyful, now take a deep breath and try again "
" Mom she's leaving the dance school soon so this will be her first and last recital " Nadeshiko said
" Which is exactly why she should try and perfect the dance " Mom explained and started the music again but stopped it again after a while
" That was beter but there's still to much sadness in your movements " Mom explained
" Sorry Fujisaki-sensei " I heard Kimiko apologize and I walked away
There had been a pang of guilt in my heart when I heard her voice, to everybody it sounded normal but I could hear the hint of sadness, but it was her own fault I told myself. She cheated on me I told myself and walked into my room. Soon I heard the practise room's door open and Mom and Liana's Mom talk
" Does she really have to leave? She has such potensial " said Mom
" She made this choice on her own, I tried getting her to stay but she said ... " I couldn't hear the rest
" It's okay, I'm sure she'll come back " Mom tried cheering Liana's Mom up.
( Thursday night )
It was the night of the recital, I hadn't seen Kimiko at all since that time in the library and I kinda felt guilty for making her leave school for so long. I suppose tonight was the night I would see her but was she gana talk to me? Everyday after school she had come for her normal dance practises but never once did I see her dance again or did I talk to her. The mood at the Royal Garden had lightened up a bit but Liana and Rima still refused to talk to me.
Nadeshiko to, she ignored me at home, school and dance practise, she blamed me for Kimiko leaving the guardians and dance school, hell I didn't tell her to leave.
I was taken out of my thought by a knock on my dressing room door, I don't know why but I wandered if it would be Kimiko.
" Come in " I told the person on the other side
" Yo " Kukai said walking in the room and kinda felt sad
" Is Nadeshiko dancing yet? " I asked
" Dude it's Kimiko who's on the stage why do you think Liana's not here? " he said
I quickly stood up and walked to the stage but I was to late I had missed her performance as I saw her long hair dissappear into her room, I willed myslef to think that I didn't mind but really I did. Nadeshiko had told me she was dancing first then Kimiko then me, so Nadeshiko had lied to me! How could she... well she blamed me for everything so should I really have been surprised she lied to me?
I sighed and walked back to my dressing room, I put my hair in a high ponytail and Kukai began laughing. If Kimiko was in here she would have made a joke about me looking like a crossdresser and we would both be laughing, suddenly I noticed the necklace around my neck. I had still never taken it off and I suddenly wondered if she had taken her's off. I hadn't taken mine of because I still loved her but I was hurt.
~ Kimiko's POV ~
I walked back into my dressing room after my dance, I sighed and looked at myself in the mirror. Tomorrow everything would change, I would change and I still wasn't sure I was ready for that but I missed him and had to get him off my mind. I had never taken my necklace off that he had given me but I hid it well so no one would see. I missed him and missed seeing him but it was the only way to forget him. Tomorrow Damon would be going home to, I wonder if he'll keep his promise and get my old memory box I buried in my old backyard.
Mom and Liana, as well as Nadeshiko came into my room and congratulated me.
" Well done Honey " Mom complimented
" That was amazing " Liana and Nadeshiko exclaimed
I walked back to stage when everybody was out of my room to watch the last dancer, I looked at the stage and watched Nagihiko dance. A tear slipped my face and I knew the next time I saw him he wouldn't see me.
Fujisaki sensei came from behind me and put her hand on my shoulder
" It takes a while " she said like she understood what I was thinking
" A while to long " I admitted
" Don't worry, your a strong girl and I know you can do it " She reassured me
" Your faith in me will be tested Monday sensei " I told her and walked away
Liana: That was so sad!
Rowallan: Why am I leaving?
Rima: Because your boring (yawns) Please check out the poll and please R & R
Kimiko: Check the Poll, teh question is " Do you think Kimiko should cut her hair? "
P.S I know this chapter is rather short but I need some votes on the poll first before the story can continue
