Your Lie in April (fanfic)

Episode: 6 Misunderstanding

~Kousei's P.O.V.~

i can't believe she'd say that.

i mean, of course she had to. she's not Kaori remember?

i ran after Tsubaki, she is my girlfriend. but the thought of Kaori's face came up to my head. i stopped running and slumped down the floor. i put my hands over my face and teared a bit.

*Kaori's letter*

i hope this reaches you. Arima Kousei,

i love you.
i love you.
i love you.

********

"i said i won't forget you. but you keep haunting me. really? even after you're gone? why didn't i just say to you before that i love-" i stopped murmuring to myself when the image of her came.

Shiori.

"Arima-san? a-are you okay?"she looks worried.

i nodded in response.

"look, i'm sorry okay? i.. i didn't mean to yell at you. but couldn't your words to me be a bit harsh?" she squatted just at my level.

i stood up and pulled her up. "let's go." i've got a lot of explaining to do.

~ Tsubaki's P.O.V.~

why!? why does she have to come back? can't she just leave us alone?? she had Kousei back then, can't i be the one next? i was first, so why her???

i ran as i cried. i looked back and saw nothing.

i came to the softball court and cried. i sat down in one of the benches and wiped my tears. then i saw someone handing me a hanky.

Shiori gave me that while Kousei is behind her. great.

"what are you doing here?" i said.

"Tsubaki-san, what you saw isn't what you think it was." she explained. i turned my head away from her. "leave." i said.

"Shiori's right. can't you just listen?" Kousei asked and held my hand. i looked at it ,then at Kousei and the shocked look on Shiori's face.

"fine." i listened and just had a brilliant idea. i can see in Shiori's eyes that she's falling for MY boyfriend.

"ok, i'll forgive you both. if Kousei kisses me." i pointed my cheek.

Shiori looked at Kousei as he did like what she did. Shiori just smiled.

Kousei kissed me then on my cheek. (uwaa. >///<)

"i-i better get going now. umm you two resolve this through." she patted Kousei on the shoulder. "goodluck." and she went away leaving Kousei looking at her until she disappears.

"you done?"

"what do you mean?" he asked.

"what do you mean 'what'? oh c'mon Kousei. it's been 2 years! forget about her. please?" i started to tear up. i mean, i wanted Kousei to be happy, but i want it to be with me.

"i just can't. she changed everything about me. besides, She's not her. she just... looks like her. so much." he looked back to where Shiori walked off to.

"ok fine. you can be friends, but don't come near her." and then i walked out. when i looked back at him, he was still staring to the path where Shiori took off. ╯︿╰

~Shiori's P.O.V.~

all through out the day, i didn't talk to Arima-san. i was worried i might see that again. and i don't intend to see that soon.

it's almost time to go home. i went to the girl's cr and washed my face. i looked at the mirror and stared at myself for a minute.. that's when i hadn't realized that tears were already streaming down my face.

i washed my face again and got out the cr. after i closed the door, when i was about to walk i bumped into-Arima-san?

"i'm sorry, i-i better go now." i said. and hurriedly made my way out.

i wanted to look back and see if he'll stop me. but of course, who am i to him? i'm just a look a like friend of his.

although i wish he could chase after me.

after that i went home.

the following day, well.. no classes since it's saturday i went to the park near Towa Hall and saw a group of kids playing with their instruments. and since it looked like fun, i joined too :3

i played the melodica while the others just enjoyed dancing and jamming along with me. it's kinda funny since i look like a mother to these children haha. but i feel somehow... that this place.. its..

*Flashback

seeing the trees, birds flying in the air, children having fun around me.. waiting for that one person i've yearned for all these years.

"Miwa said, the moment i met him, my life changed. what i see and what i hear, what i feel.... my whole scenery is painted in color. the world is sparkling."

*Flashback ended.

and when i was back to reality, he showed up.

"w-what are you doing here?" Arima-san?

"umm.. just out on a walk? so, where you headed to?" then he pointed to the Towa Hall. "you're gonna perform? i've heard its a contest that they're having today." then he nodded.

"w-wanna come with?" he stammered. wait, should i? but what about..

"what about Tsubaki-chan?" he just shrugged.

"she got a game today and they're in the preliminaries, i can't go and she can't come see me either." 

oh. so... should i? i'm his friend after all. "sure."

and we headed of towards the competition. and somehow my heart beat became faster. was it because i'm nervous around him or i'm just too happy? but the thing is... i'm excited to see him play.
