Problems

A Note: I've decided what God Sora's going to be in Colours of the Sky! hallelujah!

Oh yeah, I've decided the 'inspiration' thingy would not fit well now. Remember as I said in the first chap when I start to write everything could go unexpected so don't trust too much on the full summary? So yeah. Thanks

Karin woke up in the morning and walked to the washroom. She brushed her long blonde hair and stared at herself in the mirror.

She had dark circles under her eyes.

She had spent all night trying to figure out why Kazune-kun agreed for Micchi and Jin to stay at the Kujyou residence for the rest of the summer. He agreed! And he didn't even give a reason why. Was he hiding something from her?

Then something lit up at the back of her mind.

Maybe… Kazune-kun really doesn't like me? Realization struck her.

Kazune-kun probably got the two to keep her busy!

She burst into tears, devastated. Kazune-kun never liked her! He was just humoring her…!

I'm so stupid. I actually thought he liked me. Now he just wants you out of his sight. That pig!!!

Feeling angry and humiliated, she turned on the water and splashed her face over and over again, mixing her tears with the water.

Karin looked horrible. And she knew it.

Her hair was in a messy ponytail and hung dull and limp. Her navy blue t-shirt was baggy and her shorts were wrinkled. Her face was pale except the dark circles under her eyes and they were red from crying.

"Karin-chan? What's wrong??!!" Himeka-chan exclaimed, staring at her. Karin grumbled and sat at the dining table.

Micchi and Jin came downstairs next, sitting on either side of her. "Good morning!" Jin sang, then seeing Karin's face, he faltered, "our… lovely… goddess." Straining the word 'lovely'.

Karin muttered something in response, and then lowered her head. Micchi looked worriedly at her, taking her hand. "Please, my love. If there's anything I can do to help you, please say so." Karin smiled weakly, taking a piece of toast off the plate Himeka-chan had put in front of them.

They ate in silence.

Then Kazune-kun came down.

"Good morning, Himeka! What's good today?" He asked, smiling. Then he turned towards Karin. "Yo, Karin." Karin didn't even look up.

"Karin?" Kazune-kun walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "What's wrong?"

Karin immediately pushed his hand away and got up. She stuck a finger in his chest. "You know perfectly well what's wrong!" She narrowed her eyes. "You pig!" Then she shoved him away and stomped back to her room.

"Somebody's stormy today." Kazune-kun mumbled, confused.

Micchi and Jin exchanged looks of amusement. "This is going to be more fun than we imagined."

Karin decided it wasn't very nice to go out like this (her messy and horrible appearance) so she cleaned herself up. She took a shower, put on a fresh green t-shirt with a lemon (yes, a lemon) on it and a denim skirt. She brushed her damp hair and put a green headband through it. She wasn't in the mood to do any makeup so she just used a simple vanilla chap stick. She looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction (somewhat) and went outside.

After a while of walking, she realized she didn't know where she was going. The sun beat down on her harshly and she was getting a bit dizzy. She ducked into an ice cream parlor, feeling much better inside the cool building.

She ordered an ice cream cone and just as she was about to sit down at a table, someone called her name. "Karin! Over here!" It was Fuka.

"Fuka? What are you doing here?" Karin asked, surprised. Then she noticed Kagami and walked over to their table. She punched Fuka playfully on the shoulder and said jokingly, "You two are on a date? How come I didn't know?" Fuka laughed and said, "It was a last minute decision. The ice cream here is good. You want to sit down with us?" She patted the seat beside her.

"Are you sure? I don't want to bother you two while you guys are having such a sweet date." Karin joked, but sat down anyway.

Karin and Fuka talked for a while, eating their cones. But Kagami stayed oddly silent, studying them.

"Excuse me for a minute. I have to go to the washroom." Fuka got up and handed her cone to Kagami. "Sweetheart, do you mind holding my cone?" Then without waiting for an answer, she hurried off to the washroom.

Kagami stared quietly at the two cones in her hands.

Karin smiled and cocked her head to one side. "Kagami? You don't talk much do you?" Kagami smiled vaguely. "I'm not that social." Karin, suddenly curious, leaned forward and asked, "How is your relationship with Fuka right now?"

For a second, just for a mere second, Karin thought she saw some hatred flash through her eyes. But it disappeared almost immediately. "Oh, it's really great. Fuka's a wonderful and beautiful girl, and I love her a lot." She said quickly, and then she switched the topic. "How are you and Kazune-kun getting along?" She asked.

Karin bit her lip. Kagami seemed like the kind of person who could keep a secret. "I'll tell you, but promise not to tell anyone else." She warned. Kagami fixed her golden eyes on her like a cat and nodded.

"You see…"

Within the time space of 15 minutes, Karin had spilled everything to Kagami, from when she met Kazune-kun to this morning.

She was sort of surprised, but it also felt good to have somebody listen to her like that.

Then Fuka came back. "I'm so sorry! I accidentally got locked in the washroom stall so I took so long and I really didn't mean to but you know stuff like that happens and I couldn't help it and it took FOREVER for them to finally get the lock to open and did my ice cream melt?"

The two girls looked at Fuka and sweat dropped. "Wow… uh… that's something." Karin said slowly. "Mm-hmm." Kagami said, returning the half melted ice cream cone to Fuka.

Karin finished hers and just as she was about to leave, she saw Kagami and Fuka talking. Fuka was smiling and chattering away, holding Kagami's hand tightly. But something that chilled Karin's bones was the way Kagami looked at Fuka.

It wasn't love or interest, but something else… something dangerous…
