Back To That Time

Arturia: Today, I really want to mention those people who supports my RanTaku fics. I'm really happy. Thank you, AllvishTOV Mint_203 silviaerik1991 Aistrall Myra21126 Ch3Sh9.

TakuRan: Hontouni Arigatooo!!!

Arturia: So... disclaimers?

Shindou: Arturia Ranmaru Kujo doesn't own IE/GO/Chrono Stone/ Galaxy

Arturia: Seems like your behaving today Shindou

Kirino: Hmph!

Shindou: I swear I didn't go out with IBUKI!!

Ibuki: Wasn't that a date?

Kirino: Ha?!!!!!

Kariya: Ranmaru-senpai!! Hurry up!!

Shindou: Kirino, what was that?

Arturia: Holy no...! Looks like we have another problem!!

Kirino: Just go on with the story! Dimwits!

Kirino's POV

"Kirino-senpai, are you sure you're going?" Kariya asked

I rolled my puffy swollen eyes, "Yeah, yeah, and! Don't worry about me! You'd better worry about Hikaru, he is getting a little closer with Aoyama, hmm?" I asked

"He. Is. Not," he blushed

I opened my phone, showing a picture of Aoyama and Hikaru, laughing at each other.

His eyes widen, "So, I tell you go--"

"Take care, Kirino-senpai!!" He dashed

I chuckled, man... those two are in love...

Then I heard the announcer. I smiled bitterly. I carried my luggages then proceeded outside.

Once I entered, I sat down and sighed. "Atleast I'm kinda experienced talking in Filipino," I talked to myself

Then I heard my phone vibrate. I fished it out my purse to see a message.

Unknown Number

Happy Leaving!!! I'm glad you're not here when I get back to earth!! Anyways, I'm just using this number. Don't worry, I'm not gonna visit you there with my boyfriend, hehe. Go find your own girl or...boy? Whatever. Sorry by the way.

Ps. Its Shindou

I tucked my hood, covering half of my face then sobbed. I buried my face in my travel pillow.

Its the right choice then.

Bye Japan.

Hello, Philippines.
-------------------------------------------------------------

"Ranmaru!!" My friend, Elizabeth, greeted

"Lizzy!!" I shouted back

"You...you're beautiful!!! Have you been using beauty products!?" she said, eyes sparkling

"Wha!? No!! I told you right? I hid my gender in Japan!" I said

"Well, can you speak Tagalog?" A voice said

"Benedict!!" I shouted

"Good your back Ranmaru," he said, chuckling

"Wait, how can you go to school? We usually speak in tagalog, you know, most people here don't speak english. Worst, they can't understand simple Japanese," she whispered

I knew that since we were little. I always visited Philippines when I was a kid during summer. And, of course, there I learned new words but not all. Gladly, its either Elizabeth and Benedict, speak english or Japanese

"Ayos lang ako (I'm fine)," I said, trying to say it naturally

"Ooohh!! Akala ko kakailanganin ko (I thought I'll need to)--" Benedict was cut off with a punch in the face

"Urusai!! She's still learning!!" Elizabeth shouted

"Ita...what the hell was that for?!!"

Their little quarrel continued to the car.

I just chuckled then observed my surroundings.

Hmm...Philippines is crowded as always... I silently thought.

My eyes got heavy as I started drifting off to sleep.

"So why is she back here?" I heard Elizabeth

"Maybe its because of Shindou," Benedict said

"I really thought..." Elizabeth trailed off

"She needs to move on," Benedict replied

"Yeah..."

How did they know? Do I really look like an open book?

"Ranmaru, I know your awake," Elizabeth sighed

I shifted head up to their direction. Elizabeth, with a worried face and Benedict still wearing his sort of emotionless facade, with his lips harshly pursed.

"I- I'm sorry, I just...sorry for eavesdropping,"

"That's not it Ranmaru," Benedict snapped

"Is it because of Shindou?"

"No..." I looked at my left, finding something to look at

"Your not someone who will go back to Philippines and study here all of a sudden, I know you love Japan," Elizabeth rolled her eyes

"Fine... yes," I sighed, struggling not to cry

"He found a boyfriend and you're acting as if he cheated on you? May I know why?" Benedict said

My heart clenched, "I'm...I'm his..." I struggled finding what I am to him but I gave up.

I am just his bestfriend.

"Yes you are," Elizabeth said, as if on cue

Is she reading minds?

"And...?" They both asked

"I'm in love with him..." I said, almost a mere whisper

They pursed their lips, "Ranmaru, are you sure he is in a relationship? Where is he now by the way?"

"Well, I think yeah... and he isn't in earth,"

"When will he come back?"

Then it hit me.

Why I left fast.

Why I left without the team knowing.

"Next week,"

"You should have waited him and clear things off, dummy," Benedict muttered

"I just can't help it...to see..." I trailed off

"To see him with another someone?"

I just nodded my head.

"Are you willing to move on?"

"I don't think I can,"

Arturia: Minna! Sorry for very late update!!!

Kirino: Yeah, yeah

Shindou: Articles are very easy to make for you to excuse

Arturia: Excuse me?

Ibuki: Why can't I leave this place?

Fei: People here are sure... triggered that much...?

*Arturia and Shindou keeps on fighting in the background*

Elizabeth and Benedict: Reviews onegaishimasu!
