Red Yarn (Oshi No Ko > Aqua X Kana)

Kara (2)

Dinner event begins. Aqua immediately finished her order, and thought of contacting Karma immediately. As shocked as they were, Aqua did not believe she would meet Karma even Kana in Kyoto. His conversation with Kana was that he was preparing to leave but he did not say he was going to Kyoto.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Aqua stood up, permission to exit the private room.

All stared at Aqua suspiciously, Mem guessing Aqua was avoiding questions from her. Ruby and Akane's gazes were no less suspicious of Aqua. 

Arriving at the toilet, Aqua immediately contacted Karma. And immediately lifted the owner of the phone.

"I know you were there with your friends. We don't have to explain let Kana do the acting. I'm afraid Kana has other intentions."

"How does that mean?" asked Aqua confused.

"Hmm.. How is it, I'm just worried she's thinking of pretending to forget her friends."

"What?" asked Aqua in disbelief. "Where are you? I'll catch up with you!"

"The hospital."

Aqua immediately hangs up the phone, she sends a message to Ruby that she is looking for the wind, so don't wait for her.

As Karma said, Aqua was now worried that Kana would do just that. But, Aqua felt for what did Kana do that? Why did he stay away from her yesterday? There must be a reason why Kana did that all of a sudden.

In front of the hospital, Aqua enters and meets Karma on the 3rd floor.

"What happened to Miwa?" ask Aqua.

"His heart should be replaced immediately. I went to Kyoto because my father checked Miwa's health yesterday. He looks the most cheerful, but he's the weakest." Karma commented. "You saw us at the hotel?"

Aqua nodded. "My friends too, they will definitely ask me a lot about you guys."

Karma glanced at Aqua. "Ask Kana directly. Your cold war is over, right? I'm tired of seeing it."

"Will he answer me if I ask? I just made up with him." Aqua looked at Kana from the outside window.

"Just try, my father nags incessantly at Kana. I also scolded him not to stop." Karma rubbed his face. "Eh he's crying, it sucks. Crying, whining and yelling if we don't understand!"

Karma grunted in annoyance.

"I don't understand women!"

"What else am I! I'm just talking to Kana! And it turns out he's that hard to understand. My father, who understands Kana, finally said that apologizing would not hurt. He finally complied."

"Did he hate me?" asked Aqua in a sad tone.

Karma rubbed his forehead. "If I didn't hear wrong, Kana said that she broke the red thread that should have been connected to you."

"I've heard that before." Aqua commented sadly.

"You believe Can't you see everyone's common thread?" ask Karma. Aqua nodded. "There is a genealogy in my family that was once also a psychic. It's likely that Kana inherited it from him."

"I also believe, and for that reason too Kana forbade me from liking her right?"

Karma grunts in frustration. "Aqua, do you like Kana as a woman or just as a friend?"

Aqua was speechless, she was eager to answer that she liked Kana as a special woman and more than just her friend. But, how did he answer it while Kana had cut the common thread between them.

"Didn't Kana freak break the red thread with me?" aqua asked in a soft voice, like there was tightness in her chest and stuck in her throat. 

Aqua's face again looked frustrated, Karma approached Aqua whispering something in Aqua's ear. A second later Aqua's eyes were perfectly rounded while Karma stepped away from Aqua.

"Good luck!" Karma smile.

...****************...

Follow the advice of Karma. Aqua sat in the hospital garden chair with Kana. Karma tells Cana to come to Aqua. The night wind is getting cold.

"I'm going to pretend amnesia." Kana answered quickly.

"They'll be suspicious because they know I'm familiar with her brother Karma." Aqua refuted doubtfully.

"Yes, tomorrow I'll just go home. I don't want to see them" replied Kana.

"Why?" aqua asked with eyes that were staring at Kana beside her.

Kana clenched her lips, squeezing her pants firmly. His face was red, his eyes were wet. This feeling was excruciating for Kana, she knew that her friends were in the same hotel as her. They saw Cana there with Karma, and he also saw them. Kana's current expectations, they had already forgotten about her.

"I don't want to see you!" exclaiming Kana. "Including yourself.." Kana lowered her face, her tears had already fallen, dripping in her hands. His shoulders began to tremble, he held back his stuffing, clenching his mouth tightly.

"So, you're gonna choose not to say hello to them?" aqua's voice softened. Just a nod that Kana gave in response.

Aqua changed her position, sitting under Kana. Looking for Kana's lowered face, her long hair covered her already wet face.

"In our memory you are the hardworking and cheerful Arima Kana. We never felt Kana, that rude girl. You only protect yourself with your harsh words." Aqua tightened the link on Kana's finger, trying to find Kana's eye. "Trust me you are strong and great. I love all your advantages and disadvantages."

Kana rounded her eyes in disbelief, pulling her finger from Aqua's hand. Didn't want Kana to hear the confession from Aqua. He doesn't want to, he just wants Aqua to be his friend forever.

"A-kun.." Kana called out to Aqua in a hoarse voice. He tried to digest Aqua's sentence well. "Please, don't like me." she continued sadly.

Aqua looked at Kana softly, looking for meaning behind Kana's sad look at her. "Why? Why did you selfishly break your common thread with me? Give me a good reason so I can understand and stop liking you!" 

Kana lowered her head again. "We'll never make it together. How hard we fight, all will be in vain. So, I don't care about my love story!"

"You cut Kana off, if you don't break it won't be this complicated" Aqua replied trying to stay calm.

I don't know why Kana broke the common thread between them. But, it wouldn't have been this difficult if he hadn't done it from the start.

Aqua stood up, gently pulling Kana's chin, grabbing Kana's wet red lips with tears. Pushing Kana's back to stare at the back of the garden chair.

Kana's hand pushed Aqua's shoulder as hard as she could. This is the first time in Kana's life to feel a kiss. Plus Aqua was the one who did it first, she must be very expert, Kana thought. But, this is all wrong.

"Don't continue!" Kana shouted inwardly, she continued to push Aqua, shaking her head with all her might.

However, Aqua held back Kana's nape with her hands. Opening her mouth, gently poking Kana's tightly gritted lips to open.

Feel the sensation that you never felt. Finally, Kana opened her lips slowly, Aqua grew even wider. He traced the wet room in Cana's mouth with his tongue. I don't know since when Aqua became this pithy. Whereas as long as he played dramas or movies, he was never this crazy just because of the lips of a woman.

But, on Kana's lips, Aqua seemed to be unable to escape. Kana's face was red. Aqua getting more intense, they exchanged saliva, occasionally heard a sound of whispering. Their tongues meet and clash.

The night that should have been cold turned hot, Aqua realized she was in the hospital, but her mind could not think normally. Stopping their activities, breathing in between the heat radiating to their bodies.

Aqua's eyes looked at Kana who was blushing and a little messy. Aqua again grabbed Kana's lips. Whether what demons passed through Aqua's mind, she only wanted to have Kana completely.

Feeling very wrong about what happened, Kana pushed Aqua stronger than before. He took a deep breath, covering his mouth with both hands tightly.

"Enough! It's wrong..." Kana looked at Aqua sadly.

Seeing Kana's reaction as if frightened, Aqua lowered her head. "Women..."

"A-kun, I'm really sorry for you." Kana's voice sounded vibrating. "I stayed away from you, I also thought of amnesia when I met another. I just feel like I'm not in the same world as you. That's all, and I'm thinking of letting go of everything that's ever been in my past. I'll tell you the real reason why I broke the common thread between us." 

"If your reasons can't be accepted, I'll still be-"

Kana pulls Aqua's jacket, silencing Aqua's mouth with her mouth still talking. After a few seconds, Aqua fell onto the cold ground.

Guilt now lingers on Kana, but this is the only way to make Aqua know the real reason. He tried to sit next to Aqua's body, peeling Aqua's forehead slowly.

"I've always loved you, from the past to the present and forever. Live happily.." Kana immediately ran into the hospital, asking the nurse for help to bring Aqua inside due to fainting.
