Free! & Hope

(Final Chapter)

Daisuki found Rin at the train station where they were supposed to meet, the redhead had something to tell her. Daisuki walked there and he finds her waving his hand up with a cheeky smile.

Dai: "So I'm here, what is it you need to tell me?"

Rin: "I'm going back to Australia for a few days... I think I'm taking Haruka with me..."

Dai: "Uhuh... and we have talked about this before, you told me, remember?" he nods.

Rin: "True, but I thought of bringing you something I've been wanting to give you for a while now... I was going to save it for the holidays but that ship is sailed..." he grabs a certain backpack and her jaw almost dropped out of place.

Dai: "Don't screw with my mind, Rin... tell me this is real"

Rin: "It is... check it out" she opens the bag to release the electric guitar she was asking for that one time they visited a music shop when she went with the crew to play that show on Australia. She took a deep breath and wore it and played a little tune with it. Her smile was wide and her eyes shone.

Rin: "Good, now we can both play like old times, right?" she was surprised to hear this and she leaned forward and reached up to kiss her boyfriend's cheek, he had to bend a little to her height.

Dai: "Yeah~ like old times" he offered a hand and she gladly accepts walking to the studio to put it to a test drive.

Meanwhile, the sisters were at home and the youngest knocked the door.

Edmi: "Akane, common out for breakfast!"

Aka: "Go away, Edmichiro!" she was confused about her sudden attitude, she surely thought that she would be better today, she was most definitely wrong.

Edmi: "Akane? Miss Shiro and I are getting worried"

Aka: "I don't care! Just go away!"

Edmi: "What's wrong with you!?" she didn't answer and opened the door, she looks up with bags under her eyes.

Aka: "It's over..."

Edmi: "W-what's over?" she looked down at her older sibling and immediately knew what she meant, she couldn't believe it.

Edmi: "O-oh... I was going to tell you that he's leaving to Australia with Rin tomorrow, but..."

Aka: "Good, I don't want to see that jerk again!" She shuts the door and Edmichiro shuts her eyes as she hears the door slam.

Edmi: "Akane, you need to get out of there, you can't be mad and stay in there forever!"
Aka: "Watch me!" she yelled back, the lolita sighed and walked outside to find Daisuki and Kurumi. She met them at the café place and she sat at the table Kurumi was sitting all the way in the back.

Kuru: "Ohayo, Edmichiro-chan!"

Edmi: "Oh, where's Daisuki?"

Kuru: "Well, I thought she'd be here soon"

Edmi: "That's odd"

Kuru: "Speaking of odd, where's Akane? She's usually with you, what's up?" the young curly haired girl frowned.

Edmi: "Well... she isn't feeling right, she doesn't want to talk to anyone right now..."

Kuru: "Is she sick? Why wouldn't she talk?"

Edmi: "It's about Haruka..." she looked aside. Kurumi's eyes widen.

Kuru: "Wait what!? How!? What did that bastard do to her!?" she shout out pouting.
