So, guys! Bonjour! I'm sorry for being unable to update for like two months, anywho since I do not want to delay any longer, let's start. Again, I do not like KotoUmi, but that doesn't mean it's a bad ship, I actually follow a KotoUmi story, and I'm still waiting for its update. I only don't like it as they ignore Honoka who was the actual reason they met.

I do not own Love Live

The Unending Storm

(Chapter Start)

"Hey Umi-chan, Rin greeted the girl as she entered the club room, but the lack of an answer was surprising to her. "Umi-chan?" She wondered as she saw the bluenette sit down. However, the archer seems to exude a gloomy aura.

"Umi?" Maki too noticed when she saw Rin approach the bluenette along with the lack of response. Having an idea what the orange haired girl was gonna do she covered her ears.

"Nyaa~… this is gonna take forever." And with that, the cat-like girl cuffed her hands on one of Umi's ears as she went… "UMI-CHAN NYAA~!"

"W-wha?!" The shock of the "NYAA~" finally made Umi pay attention, and rub her ear in regards to the loud girl. "Oww… RIN!"

"Sorry nya~" the orange-haired girl immediately kept quiet.

"Umi, why are you so down?" Maki asked out of pure worry.

"I-it… it is nothing, please do not concern yourself." Both girls knew it was far from it as Umi is one girl they rarely see so depressed or even none at all. But they didn't have time to ponder on it as soon the room started to fill in with the other members. Especially a certain grayhead .

"Hello guys!" Kotori started in her usual happy and cheerful tone. On the other hand though, Umi was silent for the entire duration as if struck by pain continuously.

"Is… is there a problem Kotori?" The redhead asked out of the blue as for the whole duration, the grayhead was ignoring her bluenette best friend.

"No, there is no problem." She cheerfully answered.

"Are you sure?" The redhead pressed.

"Yeah, normally you and Umi would be sitting together," Eli pointed out.

"So?" Kotori wondered, before Nico said it out loud.

"You're at opposite ends of the table." It was true, instead of usually being together when sitting down, they were separated by about five people.

After this, she kept silent, and when she opened her mouth…

"I'm gonna go home now."

"Eh, but the meeting…"

"Yeah can't you stay for a little-"As soon as Eli started that she clenched her fist as she shouted at them.

"CAN YOU PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE?!"

"Kotori-chan…" Honoka looked at the grayhead with eyes that showed pain, and seeing that, the alpaca lover admitted what was on her head.

"Yes! You're right! I'm not sitting next to Umi… I hate her!" As she shouted tears could be seen trickling down her eyes.

This outburst received nothing but silence, with Maki breaking it.

"You… hate your best friend?" Kotori nodded. "Why?"

"B-Because…" She started between sobs, "She, and she, she lied to me…"

"She lied to you?!" Everyone else uttered their disbelief.

"S-She told me that she would tell Honoka-chan… but she didn't!" The ginger-head couldn't utter a word, but then again neither could anyone.

"Wh-what was she supposed to say?"

"She… she told me that she loved Honoka-chan too…"

"So, you're mad at her for not loving Honoka-chan?" Hanayo asked to which Kotori shook her head.

"No, not that, but rather why didn't she tell me that she didn't feel the same, why did she have to lie to my face?!" The tears are falling endlessly, and unable to hold herself anymore, she took her bag and ran out the room.

"Umi-chan lied to Kotori-chan nya~?!" Rin voiced the disbelief of the other members. Meanwhile the bluenette stood up and motioned to leave as well before Eli stopped her.

"Eli, let go!"

"No! You, you had no qualms about lying to Kotori, why?"

"Because Honoka is worthless that's why!" When the leader of Muse heard that, she felt her heart tear to pieces, and it seems that a redhead in the room feels the same way too.

"Umi-chan?" The ginger head refused to believe what she is hearing.

"Oh come to your senses Honoka! I didn't join you to help you; I did it for Kotori… because you were close to her! GOOD BYE!" And with that the bluenette left as well. That last outburst kept the whole room quiet for a second time.

"I… I think I'm gonna go too!" Honoka ran through the door.

"Honoka!" Maki shouted as she followed the ginger head. Eli wanted to stop the composer, but her hand was held by a certain purplenette.

"Elichii…" The look given to her says that she should not try to do anything else.

"I… I understand, sorry everyone we have to call this meeting off." Everyone else remaining though, were still frozen in place, as the original three members of Muse, who they thought were closer than anything, weren't as close as they thought.

(Chapter end)

Wow, I can't believe it… welp, read rate and review guys… and wow, Umi just wanted to get close to Honoka to get close to Kotori?! Well just wait for the next chapter.

Review Response:

Major Mike Powell III: Oh, well I never thought of it that way, so I guess… "Sis code?"

Rakugei: Right, they're all better together, and really the manga was going for HonoUmi, well I didn't notice that…

Enya Talisman: Well, the question is who wouldn't especially if the lie was that big?
