Kagami snuck into the house trying not to make any noise.
The last thing she needed was her mother finding out that she had ran out of fencing class. She would be in big trouble.
Facing her mother's disappointed voice was her biggest fear and yet, she knew she would face it if her mother saw her state.
The door closed quietly. Kagami breathe out a soundless sigh of relief. She was about to tiptoe to her room when all of a sudden..
"Kagami, is that you?"
Kagami froze in her spot.
She could not lie to her mother.
"...yes, Mother." Kagami admitted in a defeated manner.
"Why are you home early? Do you not still have your fencing class?" Tomoe asked in the same cold emotionless voice.
Kagami gulped.
She could not lie to her mother.
Trying her best to hide any sort of emotion, she replied in her monotonous voice, "My fencing class had ended early."
She should not lie to her mother.
Tomoe suddenly stood up from the chair she had been sitting. Kagami gulped. "Why are you lying, Kagami?" She asked the question which sounded more like a statement.
Kagami opened her mouth to make another excuse but her mother held a hand up to stop her.
"Enough." Tomoe sounded irritated. "You will practice fencing until you have perfected your moves. Is that understood?"
Kagami looked down at her feet. "Yes, Mother."
"Good." Tomoe said. "And Kagami?"
"Yes, Mother?" Kagami looked up at her mother to face her.
"You are wasting a lot of time trying to make 'friends' when you do not need them in life." Tomoe stated in a cold tone. "You need perfection."
Kagami bit her bottom lip. Her mother's sentence shouldn't have hurt as much as that but it did, unfortunately. Her mother would never understand what Kagami was going through. Kagami was lonely inside — all she ever wished was for someone to tell her that it was fine to not a be 'perfect' person all the time. She had been trying to be more social, only to repel the people who she wanted to be closer with, even more.
It was all herself and her mind.
Frustrated with the fact that no one was going to understand what she really desired to have, including her mother, Kagami ran off to her room.
"Kagami! I am not done talking yet!"
As Kagami closed the door behind her, she could hear her mother's scoldings.
Finally, her legs gave up once again.
How many times had she done this on a daily basis — being disappointed with herself for not being accepted anywhere?
Kagami buried her head in her arms as she sat down in the middle of the floor.
She really wished she could kill the love she had for the ones that could not return the love back to her.
The sun sunk down and the moon rose. The bright full moon shone and lit up the bright streets of Paris at night, in the misty shade of white. The bright moon's aura gently entered through a window which had been left open for a while. All Kagami could do was stare at the peaceful moon while she desperately tried to ignore the fact that her mother who was sitting downstairs, had been ranting out about her daughter to one of her assistants.
