Counseling Session (2)

Shinichi sighed as he walked to the counselor's office. He tensed as he remembered why he made that promise to Ai. Them.

They are the ones that killed Akemi and screwed up Shiho's life, almost turning her into one of them. He clenched his hand unconsciously.

Still thinking of Ai, he stopped in front of a door that with the sign 'Counselor' on it and knocked.

"Come in"

A young woman with short blue hair and deep blue eyes looked up as Shinichi came in. She was dressed in a light brown suit and skirt making her look like an OL.

The office is about the size of a classroom, with pictures of flowers hanging on a lavender wall. The left side of the room had what seem to be a work desk and a filling cabinet. In a corner there's a small fridge with several notes stuck on by fish shaped magnets.

In the middle of the room, there is a half lie-down chair like those you would see in a psychiatrist's office. And on the right side of the room is a cushiony deep blue sofa with white cushions. The whole office floor is covered in deep green carpet.

Ms. Mizuno's eyes lit up with recognition as she saw Shinichi. He is famous after all.

"How can I help you Kudo-san?"

Shinichi handed her the note from his teacher and waited as she finished reading.

"Take a seat Kudo-san" She mentioned toward the sofa. "I'm Mizuno Yumi. You can call me Yumi."

"Sleeping on your first day back, you must be pretty tired. So what were you dreaming about? The note said you were talking in your sleep."

"…err."

'What did they hear? Is it that disturbing that I had to see the counselor?'

Yumi nodded for him to continue.

"I was…err… dreaming about a promise I made to a… friend." 'My best friend?' He did consider her as a friend but… there was something more to their relationship.

"What is she like? Your friend's a girl right?" Yumi giggled.

Shinichi sweat dropped. "Yes, she's a girl. She's… kind of cold, sometimes even sarcastic."

"Then why would u even dream of her?" Yumi enquired.

Shinichi spoke up defensibly,"However, if u are able to look past her mask, you would feel that she is actually quite gentle and righteous. She is not as strong as she acts; sometimes she is too weak that I feel that I had to protect her."

"Most importantly, she is the complete opposite character of my childhood friend, Ran."

"So you like like her? From what I observe, you seem fond of her… I am sure that there is more to your relationship.

'How I wish that there was a hole for me to hide into…this is getting embarrassing.'

"Is it too hot here Shinichi? Why is your face getting red…Are u ok?" Yumi teased with a giggle.

Shinichi choked at the comment, "I…I felt remorseful toward RanI had a responsibility toward her. But she is not the one that I would love and promised to protect."

Yumi started," So I guess you have decided on whom to protect…"

"Yes. I know who I want and need to protect but I just can't help feeling guilty…"

"Hmm…ok then. Try to tell your childhood friend how you feel, let her know that you want to remain as 'just friends' with her," Yumi commented and as an afterthought, added "and don't stay up too late with your dream girl."

Shinichi, blushing, thanked her and left the room.

'This is an easy job… a case of love triangle. Mission accomplished, time to knock off'
