Misako-senpai doesn't bother to talk to us that much anymore. Neither does she close her world too tightly either. A part of me feels like she's graduated from something. I don't want to bother her much about what she's graduated from but it seems she's grown up a little.
Or maybe she just sort of…changed.
KAORU HITACHIIN
Misako Fuyuchi is an unidentified flying nutcase to Hikaru. Sometimes when he pokes fun at her she pokes fun at him back, sometimes she snaps at him. But these past few months have been different.
"Maybe this is who she really is?" I suggested to Hikaru as we watched her by the tree. She talks to different people now. Even has two friends she spends most of her time with.
"Normal? The moment we saw her Kaoru we both know she's a total nutcase." Hikaru bit back. "The last thing I want to see is one of our toys deciding to turn boring."
I watch Hikaru's anger fade from inside him. I knew deep inside it wasn't anger, it was worry. Although we rarely talked to Misako as much as tono and Kyoya-senpai, we talked to her often along with Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai.
Even Haruhi noticed the change in Misako.
"We're the host club right? We're supposed to make every girl happy right? So why is it that the more we try to cheer her up the more she gets worse?!" He slams his hand on the tree, causing leaves to fall on us. I look at him with concern knowing his patience was never thick to begin with.
"Hikaru, Kaoru." Haruhi calls out to us. "I know how you guys feel right now but at this rate we need more information as to why she's changed this way. If she doesn't open up how are we supposed to help her?"
"Haruhi, you should know that of all people! Just a few years ago Kaoru and I wouldn't even speak to other people and just a few months ago you broke through our world! It's possible! I know..I know it is…"
I can understand his growing frustration.
Looking at Misako-senpai, I can't help but see the reflections of our past as well.
She handles it differently though, she makes this façade for herself.
There is no one in her world right now.
Even though it was colorful to begin with.
Misako notices us and smiles happily. A fake kind of smile that irks Hikaru even more.
He sneers at her before turning his back and walking away. I chase after him, knowing Haruhi and the others will explain Hikaru's behavior.
Now that Haruhi and the others are here, our world is not so misunderstood.
When we let people in our world it felt better.
We could depend on other people more.
When did she start dying out like that?
"I don't know why I'm so mad!" Hikaru yells at the sky.
He says he doesn't know, but I know he knows.
She's just like what we were not long ago.
