Vol. 25 - The Day We Became a Member Less

All settling in a quiet area of the school, the large group of families and friends sat in circle as they chatted amongst themselves. The girls watched their mothers as they chatted amongst themselves, completely bewildered at how their lives all linked without even knowing. Strange as it was, they couldn't help but notice the smiles on their faces. The looks of nostalgia as they remembered their past together.

Underneath the trees, feeling the wind on her skin, Yuzuki stared off into the distance. She couldn't help but worry, like a part of her had disappeared. Her memories were still a little hazy, and her personality not as it used to be, but she felt empty nonetheless. She had her friends, her mother but why was that blank spot in the patch of grass griping her heart tighter and tighter. A tall figure, with long purple hair, laughing along with them was missing. Just an illusion that her mind had created.

"Mom, why exactly were you expelled?" Sakiko asked, suddenly curious as to what kind of bad deed she did.

Ririka Konno took a deep breath of exasperation as she remembered that day bright and clear in her head. Riho laughed as she watched the women all laugh together.

"Well, that's an interesting story indeed."

The sun shining bright in the sky, the laughter of four young girls could be heard as they took in a breath of the clear air. Around them, girls in a light brown uniform wandered around as they sat to take in the peace.

"Hey, Suzu, it's a little boring today..."

Opening her eyes, Suzuna smiled at Hinata, a girl who's smile was as bright as the sun itself.

"I thought you liked slow, bright and sunny days." A quiet voice popped in from the side.

"There's a difference between fun, sunny days and dry, sunny days. You just always go with the flow, Akari." Hinata pouted, attempting to stare into the sun only to get a hand in her face "oy!"

"Don't do that, you'll hurt yourself."

"Let her, Mirei." Suzuna teased "at least something interesting will happen."

The four girls sighed, as if waiting for something to happen. Fiddling with her hair, Hinata suddenly stood up. Looking at her in shock, the girls raised their eyebrows.

"What are you doing now?" Mirei questioned

"Let's head into the town. At least we can amuse ourselves there!"

"I don't really want to..." Suzuna scratched her head "I have a lot of homework to catch up on..."

"You don't have any catching up to, you're working ahead!" Hinata exclaimed in protest "you're always such a party pooper."

"Am not."

"Are to."

"Am not."

"Are to!"

"Oh shut up will you!" Mirei pulled the two apart

"It's not a bad idea," Akari thought "the town has a lot of fun places to go to and if we go now, we'll have a couple hours to wander before the school gates close."

"You just want to see your boyfriend-" Mirei teased

"He's not my boyfriend!"

All three girls stared at Akari in disbelief.

"What?" her face flushing red "he isn't..."

"That's very hard to believe..." Hinata smirked

"You always receive letters from Yoshiki!" Suzuna joined in "and you always a have a cute smile on your face when you read them."
