Chapter 2: A Rising Opposition
At first, Nile, Kairi and Sasha only kept this to themselves. But soon, the others started to sense something was up. Hikaru became suspicious when Kairi didn't answer her calls; Kyoya had visited her several times, and she never answered her door, but he heard screaming inside. Carol, Miku and Masamune had realised that Nile had been keeping his distance from Kairi for quite some time, and Kenta, Madoka, Benkei and Gingka were also aware of Nile hanging out with some other girl, and not Kairi. So, they decided to talk to Nile...
"Nile?" Kyoya asked. Nile, cheerfully chatting away with Sasha, looked up. "Kyoya! Guys!" But deep inside, he felt nervous. He knew why they were here. "Has something been up lately?" Hikaru asked, as she pulled her hand from Kyoya's (which made him blush temporarily). "What's up? Nothing's wrong!" Sasha insisted. Miku gave her a hard look. "Why is she with Nile?" she demanded, jabbing her index at her. Madoka hastily pushed down her finger. "Miku, that's rude!" she hissed.
"I think Kairi's going mad." Gingka commented. "I only visited yesterday," Kyoya added. "She didn't answer her door!" Benkei and Kenta stared at Nile and Sasha suspiciously. "And why are you with Sasha?" Benkei asked. "Did you and Kairi argue or something?" Kenta added accusingly.
Just then, Sasha interrupted. "Kairi argued. She left. I came. End of story." She explained. Carol stared at her.
"What?" she snapped. "From the looks of it, you stole Nile from Kairi!" Sasha shrugged. "Whatever! She didn't talk to him for two weeks!" "That's cheating!" Gingka yelled. "You did it without Kairi's knowledge!" Madoka agreed. "You're a witch!" Masamune shouted "Yeah!" Miku joined in. "Because of your selfishness, our friend is losing herself!"
Kyoya stared at Nile. "Why?" he demanded. Nile looked away, scowling. "What? Kairi didn't talk! And evidently..." He turned and pulled Sasha closer to him. "Sasha loves me better."
"What?" Carol shouted.
"Excuse me?" Gingka and Madoka said.
"What the heck!" Benkei yelled.
"You stomped on Kairi's heart!" Masamune cried.
"Heartless people!" Kenta scowled.
"Disgraceful idiots!" Miku yelled. "Now my close friend has gone off the hook!" Hikaru gritted her teeth. "Enh... Why, you..." Kyoya blocked his girlfriend with his hand. "Wow, you really have changed, Nile." He snarled. He beckoned everyone else to follow him. "Come on. I don't want to see these jerks around her anymore." With that, the group turned and walked off. Miku glared at Sasha. "You pompous harpy. I'll burn your house down if something happens to Kairi!" she then turned and marched off.
Sasha felt relieved to have gotten rid of them, but Nile...he was upset. What have I done? All my friends are against me! And Kairi..."
