Chapter Four: Heartbroken

A week has passed and a rumor spread thoughout the entire school: Tamahome's going out with Si-Fan. The rumors were true and Miaka had witnessed this herself. It was during one lunch time when Miaka was on her way to the cafeteria. A shocking scene had caused her to stop in her tracks: Tamahome was in a corner, kissing Si-Fan. The scene hurt Miaka so much that she dashed away, not even bothering where she was going. Lucky for her, Yui saw her running and chased after her.

"Miaka!" Yui called, panting as she caught up with the crying Miaka. Holding Miaka by the shoulders, she asked, "What happened?"

"Tamahome's going out with her!" Miaka cried as she hugged Yui tightly.

"That's just a rumor, Miaka."

"Yes and the rumors are true…I saw them kissing just now…"

Yui, finding no words to say, just hugged her friend back. After a few moments, Yui and Miaka went to the cafeteria to join Takiko and Suzuno, who were already eating. They, of course, were curious of what had happened and Yui told them what Miaka had just witnessed.

"Aww, Miaka, ignore them. The game is coming up and you don't want to cheering with puffy eyes, do you?" Takiko said, trying to get Miaka's mind off Tamahome.

Right after Takiko had said this, Yui noticed Nakago approaching their table. Yui smiled at him as he kissed her cheek.

"Yui, I'm sorry to say but I can't go to the game this Saturday." Nakago said apologetically as he knelt before his girlfriend.

"Why?" Yui asked.

"I have a lot projects to do this weekend. I hope you can forgive me for this."

"Okay…" Yui said with a sigh.

"Thank you, my love." Nakago said as he reached up and kissed Yui then left.

Watching Nakago and Yui just hurt Suzuno for some reason. Although she denied it to herself before, there no denying now. She really missed Tatara so much that she felt like she was ready to give up her pride to have him back. Takiko notice this and gave Suzuno a hug. Just as they were hugging, Rimudo stopped by their table.

"Rimudo?" Takiko asked.

"Yeah, I was wondering if I can ask you to walk around with me." Rimudo said.

Takiko looked at her friends who nodded in approval.

"Go, Takiko. We'll be fine." Suzuno said.

"Okay, I'll see you later then." Takiko said.

Takiko stood up as Rimudo took her hand and led her out of the cafeteria.

The game came and Nakago really didn't come. This soccer game was more challenging than the previous one. Suboshi's team would score but the opposing team would always catch up. The game ended with Tamahome scoring into the goal, bringing victory to the team. Right after being congratulated by his teammates and coaches, Tamahome walked towards the cheerleaders and approached Si-Fan. Si-Fan smiled at him and he kissed Si-Fan. Jealousy filled Miaka and Suzuno sensed this. She pulled Miaka from the view and comforted her. Soon after, Yui and Takiko joined them.

"Rimudo's asked me to hang out with him this afternoon. He wants to celebrate their victory with me." Takiko said, sounding as though she was asking permission from her friends.

"You should go then, unless you don't want to." Suzuno said.

"Is it okay with you guys?" Takiko asked.

"Yeah, it's okay." Yui said.

Takiko smiled and then turned around to look for Rimudo. Suzuno, Miaka and Yui went home after changing clothes while Takiko hanged out with Rimudo. By the end of the day, Rimudo brought Takiko to a park. They sat on a bench and Takiko just remained silent as Rimudo stared at her for several minutes. Then after moments of staring at Takiko, Rimudo bent over her and kissed her softly.

"I love you, Takiko." Rimudo said gently.

Takiko smiled at him but the smile soon faded. "We can't. Our groups are fighting against each other." Takiko said as she sighed deeply, not noticing the tear that fell from her eye.

Rimudo wiped her tear and said, "It's okay. I will wait for you even if it'll take forever."

It was Monday again and they were all called for a school assembly.

"We have a few announcements to make. Let us call our Student Council President, Rimudo Roun." The principal said as Rimudo stood up from his seat and went up the stage.

"Okay, soccer and cheerleading season is almost over. We will have our last soccer game this coming weekend, cheerleading tournament the following weekend and soccer tournament two weeks from now. We are encouraging you to watch and cheer for the school. Thank you." Rimudo said as he handed the microphone back to the principal.

The week went by pretty fast. Miaka was trying to avoid Tamahome and Si-Fan as much as possible. On the day before the soccer game, Miaka bumped into Si-Fan. It was break time and Miaka hadn't eaten any breakfast yet so she went to the cafeteria to buy some food. Upon arriving at the cafeteria, she saw a bowl of her favourite ramen on the counter from a distance. There was only one left and she knew she had to get it before anyone does. Just as she was about to reach the counter, a girl took the last ramen, much to Miaka's dismay. To worsen the situation, Miaka noticed that it was her love rival, Si-Fan. Si-Fan struggled to split up her wooden chopsticks with one hand since her other hand was holding the bowl or ramen. She looked around and saw Miaka.

"Miaka, can you help me here? I can't do it with one hand." Si-Fan said innocently as she held out the chopsticks for Miaka.

Miaka just stood there, trying to decide whether she should help this girl who stole the love of her life and her food. Why should she help her? And how dare she ask for Miaka's help? She was the girl who caused Tamahome to turn Miaka down.

"Miaka, can you hear me? I need help here." Si-Fan repeated sweetly.

"I'm not your slave. Ask you beloved Tamahome to do that for you." Miaka said angrily as she glared at Si-Fan.

Seeing no point of staying in the cafeteria (since Si-Fan took her ramen), Miaka left the troubled Si-Fan.

The next day was the last soccer game. Soccer players and cheerleaders are preparing to say good bye to the soccer and cheerleading season. 'The last game had to be perfect.' That was what everyone had in mind. So the awaited game began. Soccer players did their part and so did the cheerleaders. During one of the breaks, Nakago called Yui.

"Yui, I'm terribly sorry but I can't come to the game today. I'm really sorry." Nakago said over the phone.

Yui wanted to say, "You never came anyway." But she controlled her patience and said, "It's okay."

"Thank you, my love. I love you. See you at school." Nakago said as Yui hanged up.

'If you love me you'll do anything to be able to come to the game.' Yui thought as she threw her cellphone into her bag.

Everything was going on perfectly until the end of the first half of the game. A guy from the opposing team tried to kick the flying soccer ball up in the air but only ended up missing the ball and kicking Tatara's face instead. Tatara fell over with blood coming out of his mouth. The soccer players stopped when they saw this happen while the coaches rushed to Tatara's side. Suzuno wore a horrified look on her face as she rushed towards the center of the field where Tatara laid injured. She squeezed her way to him, not caring if she had pushed people aside. She knelt by his side and Tatara looked at her weakly.

"…Suzuno…" Tatara muttered then lost consciousness.

The coaches called an ambulance and Tatara was brought to the nearest hospital. The game was then cancelled. The next day, Suzuno visited Tatara at the hospital.

"Tatara, you have a visitor." The nurse said as she opened the door.

In came Suzuno, shocking Tatara. The nurse left and Tatara had no other company but Rimudo.

"I was just wondering how you are doing…" Suzuno began nervously.

"Go home." Tatara said fiercely.

His words felt like daggers that pierced Suzuno's heart. Suzuno turned around and left the room, crying.

"Why did you say that? Even if you have broken up, don't you still have a little bit of feelings for her? Have you become numb and heartless?" Rimudo asked.

"No, I didn't want her to see me like this: weak and injured." Tatara answered.

"It didn't sound like that. You've hurt her, you know."

Suzuno ran back home, convinced that Tatara had no longer feelings for her. Meanwhile, Takiko, Miaka and Yui were walking around town. They passed by the school and saw Suboshi, Tamahome and Si-Fan at the gate. Tamahome saw them and smirked at Miaka. Then he kissed Si-Fan all of a sudden while watching Miaka's reaction. Yui glared at Tamahome and led Miaka away. When they were about five blocks away from school Suboshi came out from a corner, almost scaring the three girls to death.

"Suboshi!" Takiko exclaimed.

"I want to tell you I'm sorry for what he did to you. I saw everything that happened a while ago and if there is something I can do to help." Suboshi said as he looked straight at Miaka.

"What are you talking about?" Yui asked.

"My name is Amiboshi. I am Suboshi's older twin brother." Amiboshi said.

"Twin! I never knew Suboshi had a twin." Miaka said.

"Our parents are divorced. I stay with our father and Suboshi stays with our mother. I came to check on my younger brother and happened to witness what he and his friend did to you." Amiboshi explained.

"Suboshi didn't do anything. It was Tamahome." Miaka said.

Amiboshi ignored what Miaka said and asked, "May I know your names?"

"I'm Takiko, they are Miaka and Yui." Takiko said as she pointed at her friends.

"Thank you. I will be going to your school from monday but only for two weeks. It's like a trial school. I will be going back to France with my father in two weeks." Amiboshi said.

They chatted with Amiboshi for a while until they had to go. Later in the afternoon, they visited Suzuno to find her crying in her room. Suzuno explained everything that happened at the hospital.

"Argh! Why is he so mean to you!" Yui exclaimed.

"I don't know." Suzuno replied.

Before the three girls left, Yui told Suzuno what Tamahome did to Miaka as they were passing by the school. All four of them had made a promise to keep each other updated and this promise had kept them together.
