Rococo's P.O.V
I knew that I was really embarrassing to cry in front of the whole team, but I just couldn't hold back the tears that sprang into my eyes and slid down my cheeks. I had so badly wanted it to be Kione, smiling and tilting her head to one side, telling me that everything was perfectly fine and that all this was an illusion, then she and I would burst out laughing. However she wasn't here, I was daydreaming, that was an illusion, this is the real deal. I sniffed and took a deep breath. "I just need to take a walk and calm down a little, I'll be back soon." I used the back of my hand to wipe away the tears and stood up. As I was walking away I could hear the team muttering being me. "We need to find Kione, and fast." I couldn't bear it anymore, I ran, tears flew and sparkled behind me.
On the streets
I walked along the dusty streets, the sun beat down, I looked at the people surrounding me. Laughing, walking, talking, everything was just the way it was normally, at least for them it was. It kind of reminded me of when Kione and I said goodbye to each other after the FFI. I would wait for her to come back, I knew she would. Whether I would go to Japan or she would come to Cotarl for me, but now? It's different, I can wait all I want but she will never come back. Aimlessly I wandered the crowed streets, looking ahead I saw a fancy resutrant, opened just mere months ago in celebration for the FFI. I had once imagined us going there for a date once, maybe, just maybe if I had made the right choices, thing could have worked out. I looked down at the dusty road, the times at Liocott island were impossible to forget, so many good times. When I first saw here, helping Cotarl when Garchild was attacking, actually the first time he had seem her, she had been with Endou, neither of us had paid any attention to each other. Think back to those days almost made me want to smile.
"Rococo!" I heard someone call my name, the tone of their voice, urgent, scared, even desperate, made me look up. I saw Ryu and Daisuke stand wide eyed ad horrified on the sidewalk, only then did I notice I was in the middle of the street. A split second later, I heard a screech of breaks, saw the blazing white headlights. I narrowed my eyes and put my hand in front of my face for some type of protection, then a flash of red, the squeal of tires and a sickening pain on the right half of my body. Screaming, sirens and I gave away to darkness.
Kione's P.O.V
I wandered aimlessly around Cotarl, it has already been like this for a couple of days, what was there for me to do here anyways. Movement ahead of me, a crowd had gathered on the side of the road, a huge crowd. I could see cameras clicking away, even news paper reporters. I pushed my way thought the crowd until I arrived at the scene. There was a truck swiveled sideways so that I could see the logo on the side. Just about in front of the front tires was a small pool of….blood. I shrank back, there had been an accident, it had probably just happened a little earlier. "What happened here?" I asked an elderly man standing next to me. He shook his head and sighed. "This is terrible, one of our beloved soccer team 'Little Gigantic', a member had an car accident this morning." I gagged, I couldn't breathe, it felt as if my heart had sprouted wings and was throwing itself against my chest. The blood splattered on the floor belonged to a friend. The man patted me on the back. " I know you would be worried, he was a nice young man, always so helpful and friendly, it would be a great loss to everyone, not just the team." "Who was it?" I choked out quietly. "That, I have to say would be one of the most tragic parts, the victim just happened to be Rococo Urupa, captain of the 'Little Gigantics.' I screamed. The old man leaned backwards away from me as if I had just gone mad. Actually I think I might have. The blood over there was Rococo's, and he might not even be alive. I dropped to the ground, crying uncontrollably; wrapping my arms around me knees. I had drawn about every single eye from the crowd, many looked disapproving, like my reaction was way over the top. Many others gasped, and one lady shrieked. "Oh my gosh, it's Kione, Kione Gouenji!" Silence as I staggered upright and coughed for air. "That's right, I'm Kione, his girlfriend and where is Rococo."
