Red Yarn (Oshi No Ko > Aqua X Kana)

Funeral Events

Karma had already changed her clothes, welcoming all the guests from her father's comrades to give her the last greeting very much. They pray for Karma to be as strong and successful as Akino. Karma's tears were no longer coming out, he did not understand, after Aqua's shout earlier, he felt that this would pass and that everything would be fine even if it was difficult.

Guests who come back and change. Many, but the soul of Karma is desolate. Plus Kana who did not come home, added to her worries. When she was free, Karma contacted Kana again, sending a message to Kana that there was an event at home so hurry home.

"Where hasn't I come home yet?" ishigami asked after seeing the darkening sky. "I'll try to find it with the others."

"It seems like no one has come, you can go home. I'll take care of it." Karma bowed to her neighbor who helped her all day. "Gezaimasu arigatou!"

Ishigami and the other residents began to embrace Karma, saying encouraging words for Karma in turn. They came out of the Arima family house while staring sadly at Karma.

"It looks like we're late!" ichigo exclaimed, followed by the others into the Arima family home.

Karma, who was tidying the table there, stood up to greet them. He tried to smile on his face.

Aqua approached Karma, hugged her, tried to strengthen Karma who came back crying softly. The crybaby youth hugged Aqua tightly as if saying that I would be strong without a father.

Ruby, Mem, Frill, Akane and Miyako begin to do their final greetings in front of the smiling Akino figura. Ichigo and Gotanda also do the same thing alternately.

Aqua did her last greeting with tears that would not stop coming out. While Karma had prepared a meal for his guests.

"So, Kana's Karma's sister?" ask Akane on Mem.

"Yes, I don't see Kana here." Circulating his view.

"Eat, if you want to drink, I'll get you." Karma is putting some food on Akane's table.

"No need, you can rest. You must be tired.." Akane stood up. "Let me help you serve food. You just sit down."

Karma takes Akane to her kitchen. "Thank you for your help. Because you're the last guests so I guess the food's not much."

Akane opened the refrigerator and the Karma closet. "It's okay, I'll cook for dinner. Have you eaten?"

Karma stepped out of the kitchen, staring at Akane. "Did anyone eat when you felt like your world was almost half destroyed?"

Akane looked at Karma with a sad look. Karma has a face similar to Kana. The color of his hair and eyes is the same. The way they talk is the same, a little emotional to the other person.

With potluck material Akane made dinner for the guests who came that night.

"Where haven't you come home yet?" aqua asked Karma who was sitting at the table with Aqua, Ichigo, Gotanda and Miyako.

"Not yet." As Karma grabs her mobile phone, she finally sends a message to Kana and informs her father of her death through a message. "I don't know where he's going. I should have told him earlier."

"Why did your father die? Is your father sick?" ask Miyako.

Karma. "Car accident. His father and two colleagues died on the spot. I didn't tell Kana because she must have been shocked to see my body condition after the accident."

"I'm afraid Kana's gonna go berserk when she finds out you're keeping this a secret from her." Aqua commented.

"I'm ready he's rampaging at me. But, I'm not ready if he comes back like the murder happened." Karma imagined Kana at that time. "I don't have a father here anymore, so I can't take care of Kana if she has to go back to what she used to be."

"He won't be like that anymore, trust your brother." Aqua tried to calm down.

Akane came with food for dinner. Karma does not believe Akane will cook a lot with leftover ingredients. He can even make it for all that comes.

"Let's eat too!" Akane smiled at Karma and passed.

Everyone started eating their dinner. Karma tries to eat it, but she remembers Kana and asks in her heart what Kana has eaten? Karma stops her eating, she stands in front of her father's photo and starts crying again.

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

"Where!" Karma exclaimed with a pale face.

Cana's right cheek bruised, bandage on her forehead. Plus her trousers were torn, her hair was a mess. And Kana's eyes were empty.

"What's going on?" asked Aqua who immediately stood up to approach Karma.

"Victims of abuse, lucky we can catch the perpetrator. I told her to be treated for a lot of injuries, but she refused and said that her sister was waiting for her at home." One of the police explained.

"What's? The harassment? Over where? When?" karma asked, her voice sounding trembling. The bad news was that the day her father died, she left Kana alone and ended up like this.

How incompetent I am, inward Karma.

He approached Cana, standing before his older sister with watery eyes.

"So early in the morning, on the road to the market" he replied. "It looks like there's a funeral. We go back first, tomorrow we'll give you news about this incident."

The two policemen finally left the Arima family home. Everyone's views now turned to Kana. The red-haired girl stepped forward to the front of the frame with her father's face. His steps were slow, looking so fragile, as if he was about to fall.

"Kana.." called Karma slowly, he did not know that he would see Kana like this. Cluttered with a blank look, without emotion. The look where Karma feels destruction. "Women..."

Karma tried to stand next to Kana who was just staring at the center of the room, there was no expression she gave. Just be quiet, silent with a face full of bruises. Karma tries to grab Kana's hand, she is ready with all the maki caci from Cana. But not with silence.

"I'm sorry, I just got this news yesterday. I'm sorry!" Karma half-screamed, shaking Kana's hand. "Dad's head kept bleeding, I asked the hospital to do the cremation. Dad was in an accident on the way to Tokyo, I haven't had time to explain it to you..."

The sound of Karma was heard again. While Kana was just sculpting, staring blankly at Akino's picture frame. Karma continues to shake Kana's hand, hoping Kana responds to her call.

"Where..." Karma again called her brother with a voice that had been hoarse due to crying all day. "Don't be like this, please!" Karma shook Kana's body, standing before Kana with a face full of tears. "I don't know what to do if it's like this..."

Karma's cry grew louder, she hugged Kana, stroking the small back of her brother who was still silent without replying. It's a hard blow to Karma, the thing he's afraid of happening. Painful, he did not understand what he should do now. Crying was the only way he could do it. At least he did not leave Kana because he felt that he was useless.

"I'm tired..." Kana finally replied in a soft voice. "Thank you for being strong today, Karma..."

After waiting for a few minutes, Kana gave her last greeting to Akino. There was no expression on his face. Kana went up to her room on the second floor.

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

"What should I do?" asked Karma to himself, his hand clutching his pants with his head that kept his head down deeply.

"You better take a break..." Ichigo approaches Karma, stroking the head of Karma gently.

Seeing Kana who suddenly came up with a messy face, made everyone start to feel worry for Kana. Plus he was just silent, pensive and sculpting, like nothing happened. Although she finally gave her final greetings and stepped into her room, Kana still looked heartbreaking.

"Dad!!!" Karma shouted calling out to her father in a raucous voice. Tired of her already crying over her father's sudden death, plus Kana who looks lifeless.

"Summer..." Aqua sat down before Karma, trying to calm this crybaby youth. "Rest, sleep in your room. We cleaned this house. I'll try to talk to Kana."

"I want to talk to Kana too... I want to explain to her!" karma's voice trembled, his body had suffocated from morning to and fro looking for Cana. "I want to apologize to her..."

"Tomorrow you can do, now better rest. Calm down, you've been working hard today. So, don't push yourself." Aqua hugged Karma tightly, patting the dark red-haired young man's back gently. "I'm sure Kana will be fine."
