ONE THING! I still find people who still don't understand what do I mean by "I didn't started this fic but my cousin". It means that - She doesn't have an account here in and she was practicing to write fics so she used my account first. She was scared of flamers (pathetic...) so she tried if her fics will be flamed and it didn't so she continued it until chapter 6. Remember the author's note? She wrote that saying she can't think of anything else and left everything to me! So this is me, the real PUNKGAL666, the owner of this account but not the owner of this fic... she left everything to me so I wrote chapter 7 until the very last chap... thanks for understanding!
And again thanks a lot for all of the reviews!

Chapter 10: FREEDOM
GET OUT OF MY SIGHT AND NEVER GO BACK AGAIN!
B- but... I'M JUST DOING ANYTHING TO PLEASE YOU! Isn't that enough for you!
Please me or disgust me?
Is that how you call it? I'm just showing you I care for you! I LOVE YOU AND YOU HAVE TO LOVE ME AND I'M DOING ANYTHING FOR YOU TO BE! Please... we'll be married next week...
Fuck that marrige! I don't need you! YOU CAN NEVER BE LIKE 'HER'!
Ren... Is that how you look at me?
Am I just nothing for you?
Is that because I cannot take the place of 'her'?
That you're happier being with her?
(at the streets of downtown Tokyo)
It was a sunny, saturday afternoon. Pirika walked along the busy streets of downtown Tokyo. She had been out for a walk. She just thought that window shopping would be fun, though... she don't have the money...
"Ms. Matisse, you're going to be married to the infamous chinese shaman Tao Ren at the age of 15 next week and we heard that many people question about why 'too early'?"
Pirika turned back as she heard something on the background. It's from the display TV airing Macchi's interview at the appliance store she passed by... she stopped for a while to watch it...
"Well, there's a saying that 'age doesn't matter' right?" She smiled. "But, it's our parents decision and besides, we're doing well with each other so far..."
Pirika just continued walking...
"Doing well... I guess he's happy and contented being with her... the Tao fmily is right... I am just a nuisance in his life. Now that we broke up and he accepted Macchi, his life had become at ease... no problems, everyone's agreeing at their relationship... I guess his decision of parting with me is right. He's happy this way... so I'll let it be...
For the last, goodbye..."
She passed by a botique, and through the glass she saw an expensive dress... a pastel pink, sleeveless dress, designed with white rivettis. She just thought that it would look cute on her if she wore it on... never mind... that would never happen anyway...
As she was to move along...
"You like that? I guess it would look nice on you..."
She looked behind her to see Macchi... smiling at her...
"Huh?" Pirika was now puzzled. She don't know whether she'll ignore her or talk with her... she's face to face with Matilda, the reason of her misery... she don't seem to plot something and more like a friendly approach...
"Uhh... no..." Pirika shook her head. "Please excuse me, I'm in a hurry..."
Pirika tried to get her way out but she was held back by Macchi...
"I'm not here to plot anything against you, I'm just here for a friendly approach.. if you don't mind..."
Pirika stared at Macchi smiling back at her for a while... she can see misery behind her smile...
finally she smiled back...
(inside a coffee shop)
"What's with the baseball cap?" Pirika asked as she sipped a cup of coffee pointing at the baseballcap Macchi's wearing.
"You know... my current personality... I can't go out without concealing my face... nah! don't mind me, as long as you look cute on your new dress..." Macchi said.
Pirika smiled shyly... "Uhh... well thanks. I can't repay you for this... this dress is too expnsive..."
"That's nothing! If you want, we can shop some more! We can buy shoes and accessories for those! I'll give your wardrobe a full makeover!"
"Huh? B- but..."
"Ikara, ikara! About the money? I'll pay for all of those!"
"Eh?"
(after a few hours, at a bench at the park)
"Are you really sure you're going to give all of this to me?" Pirika asked Macchi eyeing on all of those paper bags piled besides the bench their sitting on.
"I don't say things I wouldn't do..." Macchi said smiling.
Pirika paused for a while. She remember... that's his word...
(FLASHBACK, from chapter 5)
(11:00 am, inside Ren's car)
"Where are we going?" Pirika asked.
"Stop asking and just shut up..." He said while driving.
"B- but, it's still 11 am... it's not dismissal yet! We are cutting classes and we all know that..."
"Cut it, will ya! I asked permission to the admin so this is not cutting classes..."
Pirika wnet silent for a while... she just really feel too horrified to be with him although she also liked to be with him... he is just too scandalous, and yet dangerous... she feel like slapping him while he was doing that stupid scandal earlier... but she can't, she knew that it was just also for her own good... will she thank him for that?
"About... recently... did you really mean it?"
"I never say things I would never do..."
(END OF FLASHBACK)
"Hey! What's on your mind?" Macchi asked waking Pirika from her thoughts.
"Uhh... iya... betsu ni...it's just about..."
"About him?"
Pirika got stunned and went silent for a while. She doesn't know what to tell her...
"Of course not... that's totally ridiculous, I mean, I would never think of him cuz I don't like him and uhh he's got nothing to do with my life and besides..." Pirika glanced at her as she noticed her staring at her smiling and listening to every word she says. "... he's already..."
Macchi sighed... "Mine?" Pirika just nodded.Macchi smiled and giggled.
"Nani okashi?" Pirika asked.
"Well... yeah... not to offend you he's already mine but I'm having some problems with him... ahahahaha!"
"Problems?"
"Yeah, such as... breakfast, he never eats breakfast! And even lucnh and dinner and sometimes doesn't eat anything at all!"
Pirika smiled. "Maybe he's under a diet?"
"Diet! Jeez... why should a guy need to have a diet? And besides, if he's really under a diet, his diet is still totally wrong!"
"Well..."
"And you know one time, he just threw away the breakfast I preapred just for him..."
"WHAT? He did that?"
"Uhh... kinda..."
"So, how did you reacted on it? Did you slapped him, or knocked him out for good?"
"Well... I woke up early to cook those and gave all my effort since that was my first time to cook but... nah! It was just a bowl of pathetic noodles cooked by a stupid amature 'cook' so it's really worth trashing out, hahahahahaha..."
Pirika can notice misery behind those laughs... she knew she hides something... "Does it hurt somehow?"
Macchi smiled... "That one? Yeah... just 11 percent maybe, I can still even tolerate him killing me... but what hurts the most is... he just treat me like nothing..."
Pirika listened carefully as they sat down under the bright silver moon. "All fo the things I did... him being always at the top of my list, all the care, the love... the truth is, they're all trash... he doesn't need me... I don't know what's missing... where did I lack?" Macchi looked back at Pirika and saw on her eyes a tear about to drop.
"Ahahahahaha! Nah! Don't mind it!" Macchi tapped Pirika's back. "I'm just practicing to be a drama star! How was it?"
"Next time, will you stop fooling around!" Pirika wiped her tears away.
"But really, I'm not joking, honestly... it's you he wants... I know it even if he doesn't speak, even behind those fake 'yeah, I liked you...' but behind me he'll say - 'yah, I liked to kill you!'. Of course, he can't tell you he still liked you, he never wanted you to die! I guess you already knew what's En's bargain with him?"
Pirika nodded. Macchi stood up. "My real purpose today is just to tell you about him. I know he's not happy with me, and it hurts me a lot so, I wanna see him happy again even without 'smiling'... and I hope that you understand what I'm saying... now it's your chance and it's up to you how to bring the 'old' him back..." Macchi started to walk away as the air blew her baseball cap away...
"It's my 'last' wish... if you mind doing it for me, then just think about him... it's not for me but for him... think about that...
Oh, and by the way, let's meet tomorrow at the same place, but 'don't expect that much that I wll come but I'll try my best', Goodbye..."
Pirika doesn't know what to think or feel... Macchi's now the one begging her to come back to him...
It's totally complicated...
(next morning)
Pirika held the basball cap tightly in her hands as she walked along the busy streets of downtown Tokyo... Macchi left it yesterday and she want to give it her back and besides she's expecting her to come...even if it's sunday, the street's still crowded since it was rest day and everybody's wanna go shopping or different free time activities... but she felt too uneasy... something's wrong...
As she walked along the streets, she passed by the appliances store again, she glanced at the TV and saw a news report but ignored it and continued walking... but as she heard 'Matisse' she stopped walking and went back to see the news...
"Ms. Matisse was brought to the hospital last night but unluckily she came dead on arrival and was a big loss to the Tao family... here's a live report...
(another panel)
"We're now here at the Tao Mansion as Ms. Tao Jun ordered to have the funeral inside there house and preferred her to be cremated...
"Mr. Tao, We would just like to ask, how come Ms. Matisse, your finacee died in an unknown disease? Since you have the money, why did'nt you have her treated? And about the wedding next week..."
"Please...would you mind to stop minding other's business rather than your own?"
Pirika was just too shocked... she held the baseballcap more tightly as she can and ran away as tears started to flood down her eyes...
"Sore wa saigo no onegai... kare wo oboete-oke, atashi no koto suki nee nara...sore wa atashi no koto janai, kare no koto nandakedo... soreoboete-oke (It's my 'last' wish... if you mind doing it for me, then just think about him... it's not for me but for him... think about that...)"
Whew... Finally I had updated... please R&R! Another chapter sucked...
