Chapter 3
Kyoko leaves her school depressed and down. Today was not the best of days. Not only did her friends ignore her, but the rumor spread about her going to the police office.
She sighs as she walks to her bus stop. She doesn't have work today, but she doesn't want to go home all the same. After some minutes of waiting, Kyoko decides to walk home to waste time.
To make matters worse, she sees her ex-best friend in the cafe with a SHOU poster.
"Ugh. Why isn't that loser coming? I swear-" Her friend, Mimori curses but stops when she sees Kyoko's tearing eyes looking at her.
"How...how could you leave me" Kyoko chokes as she walks towards her friend slowly.
"Don't waste your tears. I never even cared much for you. You were my tool to get closer to the one I actually loved" Mimori rolls her eyes as Kyoko sobs
"But I l-loved you so much" Kyoko says as she clutches her shaking arms.
"What ever you're just an plain looking girl I can replace anytime."
"Shut up you bitch. You don't know a thing." Kyoko's eyes expand as she sees the man to her left. Kuon scorns hatefully towards Mimori.
"W-what. Who the heck are you? You dint even know what's going on." Mimori says a little startled
"I know exactly what's happening and i know your relationship. I was shopping and when I saw you saying those words to Kyoko. "
"Umm..Kuon." Kyoko says, a little touched
"Couldn't you just have broken up? You're the ugliest of them all. You can't even end things smoothly."
"I don't want her anymore." Momori states as a fact.
"Well-" Kuon starts, but Kyoko intervenes before he can continue.
"But you're a part of my heart. You've stolen a big part of me. You can't just leave like that."
'Ugh. Kyoko, lets just leave this ugly girl and go." Mimori stares as they walk away.
You didn't have to do that." Kyoko says when they finally reach far enough from Mimori and sit in some park benches.
"Why. I'm just helping a friend out. I told you ill help you with love."
Huh...Kyoko thought he had meant getting a boyfriend, but I guess he meant just with getting friends.
"Thanks. I really want girls to be with. So many left me already, because umm..well"
"You don't have to tell me. you know what. Maybe its the way you approach them. I'll help you in your get-togethers too."
"Really?" Kyoko says happily.
"Yeah sure. First pointer don't call someone an idiot right off the bat and 'dude' is a banned word"
Kyoko lightly punches his shoulder. "Whatever. And thanks."
"Thank you 'sensei', you mean." Kuon says chuckling
"senn-SEMPAI" Kyoko says, turning red, flipping her head under her hands in embarrassment.
"Okay Kohaiiii" Kuon says teasingly into her ears.
"YOU CHEATER-"
Kuon looks up face still close to Kyoko's ears. It's apparently his self proclaimed girlfriend. He sighs. Kyoko looks from Kuon to the girl, registering the misunderstanding
"Noo-its.." Kyoko says as she slides away from Kuon, and then Kuon gets an idea.
"So." He says, his voice deepening dramatically. "Isn't she the cutest?" He says, draping his arms around Kyoko, pulling her into his chest.
"What. How? I'm so much better looking." The girl says turning red in anger.
"What-Kuon." Kyoko tries to say as Kuon muffles her words by looking into her eyes. He looks-he looks, he looks so much like a man, it's scary. He looks like what Kyoko can only describe as the Emperor of the night.
"Now if you'll excuse us." Kuon says to the girl, still staring straight into Kyoko's eyes. "We have some business to complete."
Kuon leans slowing in his blonde hair draping over one eye. He's so close that their noses almost meet. Kyoko's stiff body feels dead, and slowly, slowly...
Kuon sighs.
He leans back. "Finally she's gone. Sorry about that." Kuon turns to Kyoko when he feels that she hasn't moved in his arms.
"Oh." He says as he leans in to see her face and starts laughing. She's half red and half pale.
"Y-yyouuu..." Kyoko says, finally regaining her limbs after hearing Kuon's laughter, She punches his face hard
"What was that for?" Kuon says. "Its not like it matters. I kind of needed to get rid of that girl. Don't worry I wont tell the girl's I'm going to introduce you to."
"Don't you tell anyone, and mostly my to-be friends!" Kyoko says as she storms away, leaving a laughing Kuon behind
*sigh* "Thank goodness she doesn't like men. My first real female friend." Kuon thinks as he leans back onto the park bench.
