Love Far Beyond the Ashes

How to Act

Miko pov: "Roboco, why is Suisei mad at me?" I asked, and she looked at me. I could tell this was something I should know and that I was being looked at with disdain.

"Mikochi, you didn't listen to her story." Roboco said

"Why should I have to listen to her story? We've been close for years, and she doesn't seem to want to tell us anything, so why should I listen?" I asked

"Because it's the right thing to do, she was pouring her feelings out. " Roboco said

"Robochi, you really have no clue what you are talking about." I told her

"Why are you being so stubborn at this point? You refuse to look at yourself and change your ways," Robochi said.

"Can you believe she kissed Azaz? Like, how dare she not tell us this is the second time she's stolen something from me?" I yelled

"Incorrect. She has never stolen anything from you. It's just the fact that you won't accept that Sui-chan isn't yours. Anyone can kiss her and be loving to her. What's your difference between the other woman and you?" Robochi asked

"I'm awesome!" I yelled

Robochi didn't say a word. She just continued to work on the little device in her hand.

"Hey, so when Sui-chan gets back, do you want to kiss me to make her jealous?" I asked

"No..." Robochi said

"Why not?" I asked.

"Because we are never like that," Roboco said.

"Question: why is Sui-chan not interested in me?" I asked

"You didn't listen to her story; I've already told you, Miko." Robochi sighed

"I don't get that I shouldn't have to listen to all of her story!" I shouted

"You would be an amazing therapist..." Roboco said

"I would say I'm aware," I said.

"I'm being sarcastic." Roboco said

"Why?" I questioned

"You really don't understand how much I have to hammer this into your head?" Roboco asked

"You don't, just listen to me; I won't take any of your advice!" I yelled

"Well, it's clearly not working!" Roboco yelled

"Shut up!!!" I yelled as I punched her, "Ow!" I yelled in pain, but then I looked in shock and horror as Roboco's face began to crack and break; it went all through her body until she fell apart.

"Uhhhh... Robochi, this isn't funny." I nervously laughed.

I was met by dead silence besides A-chan talking to Nodoka in the corner.

"Roboco, rebuild yourself and stop playing!" I said

I sat there for about a minute or two, seeing that Roboco wasn't rebuilding herself, and I began to quiver as I approached A-chan and Nodoka.

"Roboco... f-ell apart!" I cried

"What?" A-chan said as she got up and walked over to the side where we just were.

"What.... the.... hell...?" A-chan said

"So do you think she's fine?" I asked

"Yeah..." A-chan told me she quickly cleared her throat before speaking again. "Roboco, rebuild yourself." She told her

Suddenly, the pieces began to float and attach themselves one after another.

"You weren't supposed to rebuild me." Roboco sighed

"Why not?" A-chan asked

"Ugh. No reason." She said

"We're back!" Sora-chan cheered as the four of them returned, and I noticed that Sui-chan was hurt.

"What happened?" I asked her as I ran up to her, but she pushed me away.

"A-chan, we were attacked by Yagoo..." Sui-chan told her

"Oh, that guy, he shouldn't be an issue." A-chan replied

"I'm more worried about the wound in your stomach," Nodoka told her.

"Don't fret, Nodoka." Sui-chan said softly.

"I'm worried too!" I said

Sui-chan looked at me, her stare cutting into my heart. It was a look of complete indifference, as if she was completely ignoring my being.

"Robochi, we need a quick analysis." Sui-chan sighed

"Got it!" Roboco resopnded

"Sui-chan, you should lie down," Azaz told her.

"Got it, Azkichi. " She said

"Yeah, please take it easy and have Toko take care of you." Sora-chan told her

"Don't worry, Sora-chan, I will take it easy." Sui-chan laughed

"Suisei, do you want more curry?" Anemachi asked

"Yeah, I feel like my stomach healed enough for it, so let's try." Sui-chan said

"Sui-chan, talk to me!" I yelled as I stood in front of her.

She rolled her eyes. "Move..." She growled

"No, not until you tell me what's wrong!" I yelled

"Azkichi, get rid of it." Sui-chan spoke as if I were some creature.

"Come on, Miko," Azaz sighed as she grabbed me and began to pull me away.

"Wait, let me go, Azaz!" I yelled as I pulled away from her, "I want to try something!"

"Mikochi, just go. Sui-chan is clearly tired and hurt, so let her rest for now." Sora-chan said, "Also, she is clearly annoyed right now, so don't push her."

I ignored her and tried to get back in front of her, but Roboco grabbed me and said, "Knock it off, Mikochi, just respect her space."

"Roboco, just let me do one thing, then I'll stop and I'll leave her alone, okay!?" I asked

"Fine, do your thing," Robochi stated.

I got back in front of Sui-chan and looked into her eyes; she shut hers seemingly so she wouldn't have to look at me.

"I'll give you three seconds to get out of my damn way." Sui-chan hissed

"No, I'm going to do something first," I said.

"Whatever you need to do, please do it later. I want to rest. I promise that in like fifteen minutes, I'll hear you out." Suisei said; her eyes were still closed.

I ignored her, going up to her and gently pressing my lips to hers. She opened her eyes in shock, but soon they became rage-filled. She pushed me away from her and jumped back towards Azaz.

"Azkichi, I need you for a minute." Sui-chan said as she grabbed Azaz's hand and ran into the distance with her.

Toko was about to follow, but Anemachi stopped her.

"Just let her cool off first," Anemachi sighed.

"Why did she react like that to me kissing her but she didn't bat an eye when Toko kissed her? What the hell are those double standards!?" I yelled

Everyone just sighed.

"She literally told you to give her time, and you didn't listen," Roboco said.

"You still can't look past yourself. I'm disappointed." Sora-chan said

That crushed me. I made Sora-chan disappointed...

"Sora-chan can I please talk to you about my feelings for Sui-chan?" I asked.

She looked at me and sighed, "Hit me with them." She told me as she sat down inside the little hut.

I gulped as I now had a chance I needed to discuss something that was bothering me for too long.
