Sakuchii: ...
Mirai: So now she's gone all emo?
Sakuchii: SLeePy! ZZZzzz...
Mirai: Won't say anything anymore...
Aiko: Sakuchii doesn't own Inazuma Eleven or the charas on it. She only owns her OC's and all the other OC's belong to their rightful owners.
The Uncried Tears
Tear Six: Her Anger
Everyone could hear the angry steps echoing in Raimon schools main building as Aiko dashed towards the Year One Class A classroom with her eyes burning from anger. Yukiko tried to keep up with her sister while telling that there should be some kind of explanation for this all, she was sure that Yura wasn't the one who had done it.
"Why not?" Aiko pouted in anger, "The only ones who knew about it were you, Junko, Hikari and her. I know that as my sister, you wouldn't do it and same goes for Junko and Hikari as they're my best friends. SOMEONE just had to put on those posters… so she's the only one left here," Aiko continued then and this made Yukiko to sweatdrop a little. For an airhead and simple minded person Aiko really thought about those things that were important to her.
"My now…" Yukiko tried once more, but she didn't know what to do. She didn't know what she was supposed to say to her older sister to calm her down… that girl wouldn't listen to anyone at the moment. She heard completely no one! The younger sister sighed while giving up and just followed her older twin making sure that she wouldn't to anything MORE unnecessary.
When Aiko arrived at the right classroom she literally slammed it open while making everyone to turn at her. She scanned around the room while looking for the certain brown haired girl and when she found her, Aiko walked to the girl while making everyone in front of her to back off for meters because of her eerie aura and flaming eyes. "Noble YURA!" Aiko yelled in anger while pointing at the brown haired girl who turned to her while smiling.
"Yes?" Yura asked little confused why the girl was so angry. She was smiling so happily just the day earlier… was this also because of her well known acting skills, the brown haired girl wondered. Aiko's vein started to pop hard. The girl had done such a thing and was still playing innocent. She wouldn't approve such act in her school.
"You! How you dared to do it… and here I thought that I trusted you but NO! … You just went like that and revealed EVERYTHING!" Aiko tapped her leg, slammed her hand on the table and rebelled at the brown haired girl, who seemed to have no idea just what she was talking about. Yura tilted her head for Aiko's anger and then saw Yukiko who was showing something to her. Yura read the text and then her eyes widened in shock.
"No! I didn't do it! You can trust me, I really wouldn't do it! You can even ask Ap…" Yura tried to protect herself, but convincing Aiko was no use. Once the girl had made up her mind – and the bomb had been set – she wouldn't change her mind no matter what. It meant things would calm down only after the explosion had calmed down.
"DON'T FUCK WITH ME YOU BITCH! I TRUSTED YOU BUT YOU… YOU!" Aiko yelled as tears started to roll down her cheeks. She once more glanced at Yura, who gulped loudly. Aiko raised her arm and was ready to slap the other girl, because of the all anger that had built up inside her, but suddenly someone stopped her arm. Aiko turned to the person and saw Hikari staring at her with murderous aura around her.
"Now you FUCKING BITCH! … WHAT THE HELL YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?" the buff haired girl with emerald eyes cursed between her breaths while grapping Aiko so hard that the girls hand felt all numb. "I know that you do have short temper… BUT FUCK WITH THAT! Do you know just what kind of commotion it will start if you HIT her right here? You could lose your job! Think before you act, SHIT!" Hikari scolded her dear friend, who froze to that place like an ice statue. Aiko had completely forgotten about her status and job… and her friend was right, she could easily lose it, if something bad happened in the school.
"Look, let's go back…" Yukiko begged Aiko when they heard to bell ringing. Hikari dragged the frozen Aiko with her. The latter girl suddenly turned around and spoke then, "I won't leave it like this…" she whispered and Yura felt goosebumps all over her body as Aiko's chill voice cut trough her ears.
The light brown haired girl then saw Yukiko, who was in her normal "Inchou" appearance walking to her while apologizing to her. "I'm sorry… She kinda snapped all of a sudden…" the girl apologized and Yura just smiled kindly. "It's true that I was surprised at first… but she has a strong character and that's why I want to give her another chance… things will get interesting around her…" the brown haired girl laughed and Yukiko felt herself relieved. It was good that her sister would not lose the friend that she just got.
"But we really need to find the one, who made all those posters…" Yukiko sighed while fixing her glasses. Really, was there no calm schooldays for her? One day she was almost hit by a glass and the other day her sister was storming around the school like a madman while blaming innocent people. When, just when would things calm down?
Yura glanced at Yukiko and then her face darkened while she started to laugh freakily, "I will do something about that… If I'm not too busy stalking Ichinose." the girl herself admitted the rumor that was going around about her and Yukiko gulped. Was it really okay to trust this person, who had as strong character as her older sister… maybe… not?
~Year One, Class B~
"Hannah, you're not serious, right? You seriously don't plan to go to her house, right?" Mai walked to Hannah when the bell rang and everyone was dismissed. The light blue haired girl glanced at her while raising her head and kept silent. With this, Mai knew that the girl had already made up her mind. "But, why?" she asked.
Hannah turned to glance at Mirai's seat, which was already empty as the girl had left the classroom. "I have only one reason," Hannah then said between the breaths and turned back to Mai and Akari, who was standing next to the former one. "That girl… She knows something about my past that I don't know… and I want to know it." Mai's eyes widened in shock as she heard her friends words. She remembered that the girl had memory loss from time to time, but she hadn't realized that it was actually something so serious. Why hadn't Hannah told about it?
"Then… Then I'm coming with you!" Mai told and Akari nodded her head in agreement. Hannah stared at her two friends and shook her head, "I'm thankful for your worry, but I need to do this alone. Something like yesterday might happen and I don't want you two to get angry at Ookami-san. It's not her fault that I might remember something unpleasant from my past…" Hannah explained to her closest friends. There was long silence between the trio which Mai broke with her deep sigh. "I understand you… it's better for you to go alone." she admitted all defeated and then continued, "BUT! You have to tell us everything that happened there."
Hannah smiled widely while raising up from her seat and then hugged her two best friends, "Thank you for trusting me," the girl whispered and Mai embraced her back. Akari did the same, and then after a while she spoke "We should go, the next class is starting soon." the dark brown haired girl spoke and Mai and Hannah glanced at each other with pale faces. They needed to hurry if they wanted to make it for the next class in time.
~Meanwhile With Mirai~
The girl didn't get just why she was standing behind that door again and knocking it. She hated it… She hated the door, the room and the person who was inside it, but still her legs took her there every single day. Before she knew it had already become her daily routine to walk into this room and report everything that had happened to her the day earlier.
"Come in," Mirai heard the already so familiar voice of her cousin answering as she had knocked the door. She opened the door and walked in like she was told to. After Mirai had closed the door behind her, she saw Natsumi turning to face her with a smile on her face.
"So, what is it this time?" the girl asked happily. Actually she was pleasant and relieved to know that Mirai still bothered to come to visit her even thought she had been harsh on the girl. After all she wasn't just teasing the girl, she truly was worried about her condition and lost smile.
"I…" Mirai started, but hesitated for a while. Why, just why she had be driven in to such a corner from which she could only come out with 'thank you' . "Thank you for helping me with Yukari-obasan," the girl thanked while bowing and Natsumi smiled. Even though the girl used harsh words, she was still respectful towards those who had helped her in pinch.
"I said that I'll do it… but you have to remember your mission." the older girl smiled and Mirai raised her head while glancing away. She would do it someday, but at the very moment she still wasn't ready for it. Natsumi smiled at the uneasy looking girl and then continued, "Oh, something else happened too… you look little different today." the girl suddenly spoke and Mirai turned to look at Natsumi.
The girls stared at each other for a while and then Mirai finally spoke, "I met Hanako yesterday at hospital… and today she's coming for a visit." the rust haired girl explained and Natsumi's eyes widened a little. She wasn't expecting something like this to happen, but maybe it was for the better.
"Then, take care of the girl," Natsumi said and as the conversation was over she gave Mirai the permission to leave. When the older girl was the only one in the room she closed her eyes and spoke to herself, "The Fate is starting to reveal itself." she mumbled and then decided to head towards her own class.
~Later That Day~
"So did you guys find out anything?" Yukiko asked as Junko and Yura entered the music classroom. The girls decided to hold their emergency meeting there. Aiko was absent because she had photo shooting and song recording as well. Hikari had wanted to join everyone too, but sadly her newest chapter was getting towards its deadline and she had to complete it before her manager would go beserk.
Yura glanced at Junko, as if telling the girl that she could go first and Junko nodded, "Sadly not much.. But I did hear that there were some pupils in the school at the same time as we were." the dark brown haired girl informed and then let Yura to speak. The girl with snow-white colored eyes smirked, "As for what I have to say… The brain of this whole project is from Year 2 Class C." Yura smirked happily and Yukiko's eyes widened in shock. That class… it was the same where Aphrodi was.
"So you know who it was?" Junko asked and as an answer Yura shook her head. "I don't know… but I have an idea!" the girl smirked once again and Yukiko suddenly felt cold. This person, she was surely scary when she was smirking. "And… I do need your assistance on this one…" the girl with straight brown hair continued.
Yukiko and Junko nodded and closely started to listen to Yura's plan how get to know who was really behind the case. The girls were surprised just how intelligent the snow-white eyed girl actually was, not like a certain person they knew. "That's pretty much it, you got it?" Yura asked after explaining everything and the duo nodded in agreement, "Then, let the MISSION START!" she yelled while jumping high in the air.
~After School~
Hannah waited for Mirai at the gates like she had promised the day earlier. The girl felt little excited as she could finally get to know something about her past and her family. Not long after that, Mirai finally walked from the building and met up with Hannah, "Sorry to make you wait, Hanako." the girl apologized and Hannah told to her that it was nothing, "I didn't wait that long at all."
That made a little smile appear on Mirai's face and she closed her eyes, "You mind if we first visit the hospital?" the girl asked and Hannah answered to her almost immediately, "Of course I don't. You're going to visit that boy again, am I right?" the light blue haired girl asked and Mirai nodded as her darkened a little.
"Let's go," she then told to Hannah and the latter girl followed her as they headed towards the hospital.
~With Hikaru, Shina & Shizuka~
"Man! I really hate that the last exams are just before the summer holidays," Shizuka sighed and Shina and Hikaru just glanced at the girl while smiling, "And that's why we're going to study at my house, right?" Hikaru laughed. She was glad that she could be friends with the other two even thought they were in different classes.
Actually, all the of them had been in the same class when they were first years, but now in their junior year Hikaru was in separate class. "… We could have gone at my house, but you guys didn't want to…" Shina suddenly mumbled and Hikaru and Shizuka sweat dropped at this. They really didn't want to go study to Shina's house… Who would want to study in a house where they were butlers and other important people? So in Shina's house, studying would be impossible and because Shizuka lived to far away from the school the girl had decided to heard towards Hikaru's house.
"So, anything new from your boyfriend?" Hikaru suddenly asked from Shizuka. The girl with wavy black hair turned to her and smiled, "Actually… he did tell me that he's coming here during the holidays." Shizuka smiled and then the girls turned to Shina.
"How about Shina… Any progress with Endou lately?" the girls asked while teasing the brown haired girl who blushed hard and covered her face with her bag. After taking few deep breaths Shina finally shook her head as her eyes got all teary, "No!" she cried and the other girls sighed. Why was she so hard person to deal with?
After Shina had finally calmed down, the girl glanced at Hikaru and then spoke, "Ne? What about you Hika-chan? Do you have someone you like?" Hikaru was taken aback by this sudden question and she stared at Shina for a while, while not saying anything.
Soon, her eyes softened and her mouth moved, "Actually I do." the girl then slowly answered and Shina's face brightened. Even though they had talked about Shina's crush and Shizuka's boyfriend, Hikaru had never mentioned that there was someone who she liked, "Who is he? Do I know him? Is he from our school?" Shina kept throwing questions as Hikaru so fast that the girl didn't have a chance to answer to her.
The girl just closed her gray colored eyes and then sighed deep. "But even if it's like that… I cannot be together with him… and I'm not even sure if I will ever meet him again," the girl said between her breaths and Shina's face saddened immediately. This girls' love surely was a hurtful one. "STILL I'm not going to let that depress me! Come on we need to hurry or we're not able to study!" Hikaru hurried the other two and ran ahead of them.
The girls soon arrived at Hikaru's house, and the girl noticed something strange happening in their neighbors. "Is someone moving in?" she wondered while opening the door and letting everyone to enter the house, "I'm home!" she then greeted her mother.
"Ah, Hikaru you finally came and you have friends with you too," Hikaru's mother walked from the kitchen to greet her daughter. "Please take care of us," Shina and Shizuka said while bowing. Hikaru smiled while answering to her mother and then continued with a question, "Is someone moving next to us?" she asked being little sad, because the house had been empty ever since his family moved away.
"Right about that… you have a quest here. He's waiting for you in your room." Hikaru's mother said and winked her eye while smiling and then walked away. Hikaru's eyes widened and wondering smile appeared on her face. She immediately rushed to her room, which was on the second floor and opened the door.
Inside her room the girl saw a boy around her age, who had toned skin and light spiky hair with gloomy looking eyes. The boy raised his head and flashed a little smile at Hikaru, "I'm back," were the only words that the boy said to her. Hikaru felt her legs betraying her and she fell on the floor and then broke into tears.
He was finally back home!
~Back with Mirai & Hannah~
"I'm home," Mirai said when stepping into the empty house and then invited Hannah there too. The latter girl was so amazed by how huge the house was and she stared at it with her mouth open. "You're coming or not?" Mirai asked and Hannah came back to this world. She then walked in and Mirai closed the door.
"Where is your family?" Hannah asked as she realized the there was no one in the house, it was empty. Mirai glanced at the light blue haired girl and then answered to her while walking into the kitchen, "They live in Hokkaido. This is our second house – more like a cottage – and I'm the only person living here at the moment…" the rust haired girl answered and Hannah wanted to ask for the reason, but decided to let it be. She was sure that it had to be something personal that Mirai wouldn't want to talk about.
"Do you want tea or coffee?" Mirai asked from the kitchen as Hannah sat on the couch which was in living room. "Tea please," Hannah answered while glancing around her and then waited for the other girl. After few minutes, Mirai finally came and gave Hannah her cup. The girls then drank their teas and there was a deep and heavy silence between them.
When Mirai was done with her tea, she placed her cup on the living rooms table and then spoke after few deadly minutes, "So what do you want to know about?" she asked and Hannah gulped loudly as she felt her whole body shivering. What did she want to know about? There was only one thing that she wanted to know… and that was about her past. She wanted to remember her whole past who she was, what family she had, where she used live, everything.
"Well actually…" Hannah started while placing her cup on the table too. The girl then to Mirai what she had seen in hospital and the latter girls briste colored eyes widened shock. "So, what I want to know is that… Did this really happen… or was it only a vision…?" the light blue haired girl asked and Mirai lowered her head while her face darkened.
"That's a real memory of your past… and the reason for this all…" Mirai answered mysteriously while trying to say something, but still not really explain anything. Hannah glanced at the buff haired girl and she stared at her for a while. Then she spoke. "So it really was you who ran after that boy… and the boy is the one who is now at the hospital, right?" the girl asked and Mirai lowered her head even more so that her face couldn't be seen anymore. She glanced at away from Hannah, while hoping that she wouldn't say the thing that she wanted to hear the least.
"And… I was there too…" Hannah suddenly spoke as she her both body and brain started to remember the moment when she too ran after the boy and the girl… but there was someone with her… that person… she couldn't remember who it was. "But why? Why are you appearing in my memories?" Hannah asked and she finally got answer to her question, that's why Mirai had seemed so familiar to her, just like Aiko and Yukiko…
Mirai finally dared to raise up her head and she stared Hannah's different colored eyes. "I cannot tell you much, because you should remember it yourself… but let me just say that…" the buff haired girl stopped for a while, and then continued after a deep sigh, "We used to be something like 'good friends' Hanako." Mirai told and Hannah's eyes widened in shock. The same thing that had happened in the hospital suddenly happened again. All of a sudden Hannah saw two different girl figures before her, and one of them slightly reminded her of the younger version of Mirai and the other one was just like Hannah herself.
The girls were playing happily and laughed a lot together. Hannah couldn't get much of that blurry image, but she did catch one of the phrases that Mirai seemed to say, "Then, I shall call you Hanako." the buff haired girl said and smiled happily at Hannah. After that the image disappeared.
"Oi, are you okay? You don't look so well…" Mirai placed her hand on Hannah shoulder and the latter girl snapped out of it while returning back to this world. She glanced at Mirai while tears formed into the corner of her eyes. No wonder that the name 'Hanako' sounded so familiar to her. It had been her nickname in the past.
"Thank you!" Hannah cried while embracing Mirai and the other girl was surprised, but then too answered with a light embrace. Hannah finally let go after while and dried her wet eyes. Mirai flashed a light smile at the girl, but then her expression returned back to her usual self and the girl glanced away from Hannah while shaking her head.
"You better head back now… it's getting late…" Mirai said with so serious and deep tone that Hannah's whole body shivered because of that. She had never seen the buff haired girl acting like that. Hannah really wanted to stay and learn more about her and Mirai's past, but Mirai's tone had been so scary that she decided to listen to the girl. After all she could visit Mirai later too.
"See you tomorrow!" Hannah waved to Mirai while smiling. To her big surprise Mirai just closed the door before her eyes without even bothering to say anything. The light blue haired girl tilted her head wondering if she had done something wrong, but recovered from it fast and turned to look at the bright sky while smiling. "Hanako, huh?" she mumbled, "Better get used to that name!" and then she started to ran towards the trainstation.
What Hannah didn't realize was that Mirai kept a staring at her from the kitchens window and when the light blue haired girl wasn't anywhere seen she turned around. Mirai took her and Hannah's cup while staring at them with sad faces. "What the hell am I doing?" she asked from herself and then continued, "I'm the one behind this all… I'm the reason they are scattered… I'm the reason why he's in hospital… I'm the reason why she's all alone now… I cannot… I'm NOT ALLOWED to SMILE!" Mirai kept mumbling and then broke into tears. She fell on her knees and kept bawling like a little kid.
~Somewhere Else
"The plan worked just fabulously! No one will get that I was the one behind this all…" a dark figure laughed in happiness and then turned to look at another one. The other person fixed her glasses and typed something on the computer that she was holding in her hands.
"I will get my revenge on you, Aiko-chan!" the former person said while smirking and then walked away while being followed by the girl with the computer.
8 years old, you moved away. 15 years old, we became neighbors again. 17 years old, can we live together?
Sakuchii: I wanna go to sleep... tomorrows a beautiful day again!
Yukiko: Yes, I'm sure that it is... now GO!
Sakuchii: Thank you, Yukiko! And I hope to see you guys again too^^ ZzZzzz...
Aiko: That's it! She finally fell asleep... what an idiot!
Mirai: Like you're the one to talk...
Aiko: HEY!
