Chapter 10 – Pretty Optimistic When Back Is Stabbed

"So are we meeting up with the Hitachiins again today?" Kimiko asked. "I'm going to go hang out with Hikaru." Atsuko said as they walked out of the school. "Oh..." Kimiko mumbled then made an effort to sound enthusiastic, "Okay. Have fun and good luck." Atsuko nodded then walked off to find Hikaru.

Kimiko sighed. "You knew this would happen, Kimiko. You should be happy for her...she took your advice after all." she mumbled to herself.

At the same time, Kaoru sighed. "You called it Kaoru. Now you have to let him move on." he mumbled to himself.

"It's better when I bleed for her." Kimiko mumbled.

"It's better when I bleed for him." Kaoru mumbled.

It hadn't been this way before for either of the shy twins. To be alone. Kaoru had decided against finding Kimiko. She would never like him in the same way so he wouldn't get his hopes up.

As the Kimiko and Kaoru would later discover, Atsuko and Hikaru were on a date.

Blowout. That's the only word that could be used to describe the fight that had occurred between the Nakamura twins that night.

"Yeah, yeah, just talk yourself up!" Kimiko yelled.

"You've got a lot of nerve!" Atsuko yelled back.

"Well what's the problem?!"

"What did you think I would say? N-No you can't run away! You cannot run away!" Atsuko yelled as Kimiko tried to leave for the door.

"I will!" Kimiko screamed.

"You wouldn't!"

"I never wanted say this!"

"You never wanted to stay!"

"I put my faith in you! So much faith and then you just threw it away!"

"What are you even talking about? Don't be so naive!"

"I'm not 'so naive'! My sorry eyes can see...I hope that love he gave you was just enough to save you! Because look at what you're tearing apart! You stabbed my back! You walked on me, but it was never enough to do! But hey, I guess it's better when I bleed for you."

With that Kimiko walked outside the front door and slammed it behind her. Only now did she notice that a storm was brewing in the sky and it was raining. She could think of only one person who could comfort her. The only one who would have even the faintest idea of how she felt.

Kaoru.
