False/True Love 18: Mission: Seeking for Answer

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Nisekoi, its characters and some familiar scenes in anime/manga. All credits belong to Naoshi Komi.

AN: Goodness! I don't know how to describe this chapter; repetition of thoughts? Sorry about that. It's like I'm upbraiding what Raku should already notice but he can't notice. And make him looks really confused about everything. Feel free to judge this chapter nyahahaha.

Forgive me for wrong typos and grammar. You know I'm not really good in English.

Enjoy reading!

False/True Love 18: Mission: Seeking for Answer

【〔。。。。。。。。。。。〕】

If she doesn't want to tell it, then I'll seek what really happened on my own, that was what Raku thought after he let go all the questions in his mind to Chitoge. He even doesn't have any choice but to look for it himself because he already accepted the fact that he won't get any from Chitoge... even if he begs.

And if he can't get what he wanted from Chitoge, then he will seek answer from other. Although Raku doesn't know how and whom he will start, that's his plan. Whatever happens he will do anything to found out what he should know... but they won't let him.

"So, what do you want to prove once you knew the truth behind it?" Shu asked Raku. He's been with Raku since dismissal. After Shu heard what happened from Chitoge, Shu join Raku going to his home and talk about it.

What does Raku want to prove? He doesn't have anything to prove to anyone, but he has something to prove to himself. If there is something he wanted to prove, especially to himself, that is what he truly feels for Chitoge. Because until now, he can't still forget the question that Chitoge's Mom asked to him.

"I don't know..." Raku wondered as if thinking of other things. "What I know is there's something I have to find out for myself... to our relation. I really don't know myself!"

"Tell me Raku, do you have feelings for Kirisaki-san?" Shu asked with his serious expression.

"Well, I don't hate her but I also don't like her." Of course saying he doesn't like her is a joke.

"If you don't hate and like her, does it mean you love her?" A small smile is forming in Shu's lips. He can't believe that he's best friend is having a hard situation liking someone now. He thought Onodera is the only girl he had in his heart but guess feelings really will get confusing once someone new came. Liking someone is complicated. But loving someone is even more complicated.

"H-Huh? W-What are you s-saying? L-Love? And isn't like and love the same." Raku said, trying to reason out.

"You think so? 'Cause I don't think they are the same. Don't you think that like is for everyone but love is for one person only. And for me the word 'like' is for friendship and 'love' is for romantic relationship. They are not the same, right?" Shu explained his opinion.

What Shu said made Raku's mind more complicated. He thought he already know what is the meaning of liking someone because of his feelings for Onodera for too long. But it seems like confirming the deeper meaning of liking someone is complicated. And knowing what truly feels is the hardest part. Now that they are talking about it in serious way, Raku felt like he doesn't have any idea what is the true meaning of those two words. Those two words that both have 4 letters and almost seems like have the same meaning is something that in truth is not easy to define. If defining it is not easy, what more in identifying the feelings towards someone? Liking and loving someone...
