'This was going to be hard…' I thought as I forced myself not to cry again. "Sure…I guess we should go then." "Wait, is this your opinion or Rococo's, I mean you just got here; knowing nothing! Just let him decide already!" she hissed into my face. I shrank backwards, leaning away from her. "Yeah… we should get a move on now~" Rococo said as he poked his head around the corner; he had obviously gone to the elevators again when we had been arguing…wait I wasn't arguing! Why did she hate me so much, I knew of course, it was the same reason why I hated her as well; Rococo.
"Yeah," I mumbled weakly "I guess so then." I walked towards where Rococo's head had just disappeared; all the while feeling the other girl's glare at the back of my head. We got into the elevator, going for the 18th floor all the way to the lobby, god why did I have to choose to live on such a high floor! As we got out of the elevator I decided to leave second; after Rococo. Just as I was about step through the door they suddenly closed, I felt pain flare on my shoulders where the elevator doors had smashed into them. I winced and stepped out quickly. "Oh, I'm so sorry; I didn't know it would take you so long to walk through a door." I turned around to glare at the girl. "You are so lucky Rococo didn't see that!" I hissed. She looked away, and when her gaze rested on Rococo who was already walking out of the front doors and onto the busy streets beyond; she raced over to him and put her hand around his eyes; causing him to almost fall over in surprise. He straightened up and laughed, they looked so happy together, maybe it would be better if I wasn't here…
At the ice cream parlor
"So Kione, since you've missed out on quiet a lot these past few months… never mind I'll get on with the intro!" He sounded so happy; I knew it; he has no worries at all! "This person here is Fatina, and she is just the most amazing person I've ever met, a really good friend of mine! And Fatina, this girl here is Kione, we met at the FFI and she is a friend of mine as well!" My heart throbbed, I was just a friend to him, and not even a good friend like that Fatina was. "I'll be off then, to get us all an ice cream, you two get to know each other a little better!" He waved and smiled as he walked through the doors of the parlor and went to order ice-cream.
"Yeah and why would he care about you? I was the one who kept him company when you were away enjoying life!" she spat the words into my face, I felt pain seize my heart yet again, so this was the first thing she wanted to say to me. "You see, I don't have a choice, I don't live here! And when we were together at the FFI it was probably the happiest moments of his life!" I snapped back. "Oh, really? He told you that did he, well he said the same thing to me when we were walking at the park a few weeks back!" she rushed on before I could even reply. "You know what, you are so hopeless it wouldn't even matter if I told you!" Told me what, my heart started beating painfully against my rib cage, she rolled her eyes. "You see, I couldn't care less about what happened to your friend Rococo there," I started at her shocked, she rolled her eyes at me "All I care about is to get the info out of Daisuke! I mean what better plan is there to get close to his most trusted captain?" I continued to stare "I don't even care about the team, even though I said I would be their stupid manager, see I'm the manager of team Dyano, you see Little Gigantic beat us in the finals to become Cotarl rep, so now all we need is to get the info out of the soccer freak!" when she said 'soccer freak', she gestured with her hand to the direction to where Rococo was returning with three cones. My mind was whirling, I needed to talk to Rococo and fast. However I had to wait, I couldn't tell him with her here.
We finished out cones, all the while Fatina making me look stupid in front of Rococo.
As soon as Fatina left to go use the washroom, I hurried to sit next to Rococo and to tell him everything. I did tell him everything, about how Fatina didn't care about him, how she only joined Little Gigantic for power. But did he listen? No. With every sentence I said his eyes got colder and colder until I just couldn't continue. "Look, Kione," he finally said after a few moment of awkward silence. "I know you don't really like Fatina, you don't have to go around accusing her of anything you know." "No, really she told me all that herself!" I was growing desperate now, tear were threatening to fall again; oh why I was so emotional today! "I don't believe this is you Kione, I mean you were so nice when we were at the FFI, and now you go and make up some rubbish about betrayal from Fatina, really you might not want to hear this but she has filled in the gap you have left when you were away." I started at him, dumbfounded, I was nothing to him now, and Fatina was.
He turned around and sighed scratching his head. "Look just forget we said anything we just said and lets go." I shook my head and he tilted his head confused. "You aren't the same Rococo I met either… do you even love me?" I ran for it.
"Wait, Kione!" Rococo called from where he stood. I ran on, tears now falling as I ran away, away from the reason I had come. I ran back to the hotel from another way, making sure that no one would be able to follow me. I threw myself onto the bed and started sobbing, everything had gone wrong, Rococo had found another and I wasn't needed. I suddenly sat up; thinking; if I came here to be with Rococo and he is already with Fatina, there would be no more reason for me to be here. I shook myself, and when for my phone and dialed in a set of numbers; tears still streaming down my face; another decision.
"Hello? Kione is that you? Are you having a good time, Cotarl is great isn't it!" "Natsumi-san, can you help me with something?" "What is it, since I 'am still you manager I will go within my powers to help you." "Natsumi senpai… I want to go home."
