Ch. 16
Kaoru's p.o.v.
I was sitting down on the dining chair and I was busy drumming my fingers on the table while Momoko was busy preparing lunch for me, Miyako, and herself. It was already 3:30 p.m. and Miyako is still not here yet. She was supposed to be here 30 minutes ago since she told us that her date with Boomer was only gonna last for at least 2-3 hours and 3 hours have already passed! My stomach is already growling and if she doesn't get here soon, I'm gonna eat her lunch and probably the whole house since I have a very high metabolism.
"Where the heck is Miyako!? She was supposed to be here by now!" I groaned.
"Calm down Kaoru, she's probably running a bit late because of her alone time with Boomer" Momoko said.
"She better get here soon or I'm eating her food!" I answered.
"If you eat her food Kaoru then no bacon and eggs for you for a whole month" Momoko scolded.
"Don't even think about taking away my favorite dish!" I slightly growled.
"Then don't eat her food" Momoko replied.
"Whatever" I muttered.
Soon, we heard the front door open and Miyako came in with a huge smile on her face beamed with happiness and hope and a yellow stuffed puppy toy in her arms.
"Hello girls!" she said with a joyful tone.
"Hello Miyako! You sure seem happy today" Momoko commented.
"Of course I am! Today has been the best day ever!" Miyako slightly squealed.
"What happened today with you and Boomer?" I asked her.
"Boomer took me to a secret place and we had a picnic on a huge hill near a white blossom tree with a bunch of cute animals playing around in the meadow. After that, he took me to the zoo where we saw all the animals and he even got me a cute stuffed puppy at a game booth and he was such a gentleman during our date!" Miyako dreamily sighed.
"He also told me how sorry he was for hurting me and it broke my heart when he cried in front of me and he told me that he will do everything he can to earn my forgiveness and he's going to free my grandmother since she means a lot to me"
"WHAT!?" Momoko and I yelled in shock.
"He cried in front of you!?" Momoko exclaimed.
"Yeah he did and I let him cry on my shoulder so he could let out all the pain that he was feeling inside his heart" Miyako explained.
"Brick cried too in front of me right after I freed Duchess and he kept apologizing to me and was sorry for everything he did and he even kissed me" Momoko slightly blushed.
"Are you two gonna believe everything they said!?" I shouted in disbelief.
"Boomer was telling the truth because I saw it in his eyes" Miyako replied.
"Same with Brick" Momoko said.
"HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY!? WHAT ABOUT THE PLAN TO OVERTHROW THEM WITH SEDUSA'S HELP INCLUDING THE BLACK ROSES!?" I angrily yelled.
They both became quiet and looked down with their faces covered by the shadows.
"You shouldn't believe everything they said girls! They're playboys who are just playing with our hearts so they could destroy us and make us suffer in pain now that they know who we are! We have to overthrow them in order to save the Professor and our families from the dungeon that they're keeping them in!" I tried to explain to them.
"How is it possible when they are trying to steal our hearts?" Momoko whispered.
"We just gotta follow steps 1 and 2 of the plan before we could reach step 3 of it which I have no clue what step 3 could be since Sedusa knows what it is" I answered.
"That means that I won't be seeing my Obaa-chan?" Miyako slightly whimpered.
"There's no way that she's gonna be freed by Boomer, Miyako. He's definitely trying to hurt you and a RRBZ like him can never be trusted" I said.
"You're wrong! Boomer was actually telling the truth because not only did his eyes showed truth but his heart and aura showed it as well! And he also kept his promise because he took me to my grandmother and showed me that she was kept in a nice house with our families and gave them freedom!" She sobbed as she ran upstairs toward her room and slammed the door shut.
"Miyako!" Momoko called out for her as she ran upstairs and kept knocking on her door to let her in.
I sighed and massaged my temples. I was slightly shocked that Miyako raised her voice at me since she's always considered the gentle one in the group but after telling me that Boomer gave our families so much freedom, then that would mean that they're all right but which house are they in and where? I kept hearing Momoko knocking on Miyako's door and Miyako was still crying since I don't believe her which made me feel a bit guilty but I couldn't let her or Momoko fall for the Ruffs. Those boys are definitely trying to trick us so they could break our hearts and possibly try to destroy us since they couldn't kill us back then. I don't want them to suffer any more pain since we already experienced it.
I got up from my chair and exited the kitchen and walked toward the door. I wasn't hungry anymore after my argument with Miyako so taking a walk outside would probably make me feel a whole lot better. I exited the cottage and began walking toward the park so I could clear my head. I spotted a forest a few kilometers from the park and decided to walk in there since nature helps me feel more relaxed and help me feel stronger. I went toward a huge oak tree that was in the middle of the forest and placed my hand on it. Whenever I touch this tree, all my worries and pain immediately go away and it reassures me that everything will be all right and eventually it came true. I heard a rumor that this huge oak tree was pretty magical and it grew back in the 1800s during the time the GoodEnough Girls Z protected Edo Era from the black z rays. It was probably hit by the white z rays but I can never tell because it has some sort of strange aura that connects me with this oak tree.
"Didn't know that you were a tree lover?" I heard someone chuckle.
I whipped my head and glared at the one person that I loathed the most.
"What are you doing here Butch?" I said his name with venom.
"I'm just here to take a relaxing stroll since I always walk around the forest where no one could bother me and today has been my lucky day" Butch smirked.
"How is today your lucky day?" I crossed my arms.
"I get to see my favorite green PowerPuff here in the forest and yeah I know who you are because Brick told me that he figured it all out" Butch grinned.
"Guess he is a nerd" I muttered.
"What was that?" Butch asked.
"None of your business now go away!" I growled.
"I can't do that because you're here and I don't want to separate myself from you" Butch said.
"Listen Butch! I'm not falling for your tricks because I know that you and your brothers are trying to trick me and my friends so you could hurt us and possibly destroy us! I would never fall for you because I hate you and I would never go out with you ever! I feel sorry for your fangirls since they're falling for an arrogant pervert who always thinks of himself and its obvious that they would never want to be with you because you don't belong here at all!" I yelled without thinking.
I slightly panted when I said those words without breathing and I saw Butch flinch from my words and he began shaking while clutching his fists. I thought that he was probably gonna yell back at me in defense and told me I was being stupid for saying that but he did something that I never thought that he could do.
He cried.
He got on his knees and tears began running down his cheeks and he slightly heaved between sobs while covering his eyes with his hands. My heart suddenly began to break seeing him like this and guilt began washing over me. Never in my entire life have I seen Butch cry before since he was always a cocky pervert toward me but now, this is probably another side of him that I've never seen before. Even the toughest fighters have emotions that get to them if someone ever insults them like this.
Without thinking, I went over to him, got on my knees, and hugged him with comfort while rubbing his back hoping he would stop crying.
Butch's p.o.v.
When I heard her say those words to me, my heart suddenly broke in half. She thought that I was tricking her and her friends and she hates me so much that she thinks that I'm an arrogant pervert who doesn't belong here at all. I began shaking while clutching my fists by my sides out of anger. I wanted to yell at her and tell her that she was wrong but something stopped me. I felt a tear running down my cheek and then I collapsed on my knees and began to sob. I cried between heavy breaths feeling my heart shatter into a million pieces from what she said. Kaoru doesn't love me because I'm an RRBZ and she's right, I could never be loved because of my reputation being a ruler of this world. Mojo never cared for me and my brothers because we were just experiments to him since he wanted us to destroy the PPGZ and have him take over the whole world and everyone hates us because of the black z rays we have running through our veins. My face was covered by my hands so she wouldn't look at me crying.
Suddenly, I felt someone's arms around me and my back being rubbed in comfort and I slowly moved my head up and saw Kaoru giving me a look full of guilt and regret.
"Why would you think that we would trick you Kaoru? You and your friends are the only ones who could understand me and my brothers because we both have similar traits in powers and having chemical z inside our bodies. When I thought that you had died, I was in so much pain and I blamed myself for your death that I thought of committing suicide so I could be with you and now I don't want to lose you again" I whispered while sobbing.
"Butch" I heard her whisper. "I shouldn't have said those words to you, gomenesai!"
She hugged me a bit tighter and I hugged her back while sobbing onto her shoulder. Kaoru was the reason that I was alive and without her, I wouldn't live anymore because not only is she my counterpart but my other half that I needed in order to live on this planet. I may be seen as the strongest RRBZ but deep inside, I have strong feelings that I'm not afraid to show if they overcame me.
"I don't want to lose you Kaoru-chan, I love you" I thought in my head.
