TSURUNE: KAZEMAI KOUKOU KYUUDOUBU YABAI - FUJIWARA NO AI (FUJIWARA'S LOVE)
Disrupters

It's getting dark. A ray with a yellowish-red hue and a hint of purple stretched across the western sky, shining down on everything beneath it. Beautiful scenery to witness together but different from these two people who face each other.

"Shuu, tell me honestly, am I a bully to you?" Akane made up her mind to ask Shuu directly. He will take the decision as per the answer that Shuu will give now.

Silent. Shuu did not say anything. Nothing had changed on his calm face, he was just staring inside that sapphire netra. 

"Shuu, say something! Am I a bully to you? I'm interrupting your relationship?" Pinta Akane again. Her sapphire net was sharp and shiny signifying she was being earnest.

Silent again. Shuu again said nothing to Akane. Netra they met but seconds later Shuu threw away his gaze.

"Shuo! Answer me!"

"Noa was a little distracted" he answered averted his gaze. He did not look Akane in the eye as he usually did.

"I didn't ask about him, I asked you. I asked about you!" 

Shuu again fell silent which made Akane even more furious. Not knowing what he was thinking but it seemed that Shuu did not want to answer Akane's question. 

Akane's eyes are heating up. His hands clenched tightly. He bit his lower lip, trying to neutralize his breath.

When Shuu opens his mouth to speak, Akane first cuts off Shuu's conversation.

"Well, with this silence of yours I assume the answer to my question is correct."

Akane bowed respectfully in front of Shuu.

"Sorry for all this time Shuu. Sorry I always bother you. I'm sorry that I've been a bully of your relationship with Shiragiku Noa. I'm really sorry. I won't bother you anymore, I won't be a bully to you anymore. Really forgive me."

Without waiting for an answer from Shuu, Akane immediately left Shuu who was still silent in his place. 

His chest is back in pain. The beautiful sapphire netra is wrapped by a layer of clear water that is ready to be fielded. A second later, the clear water droplets slowly fell down on his cheeks. The calm stream of the river slowly turned into a swift waterfall.

Sorry Shuu.

Why didn't you say it from the beginning? If only you had said it earlier, I would have left earlier as well and I wouldn't have been this sick, Shuu. 

Excuse me..

Otherside.

What are you doing Shuu?! This is not something I want!

"Akane, wait!" Shuu called out to Akane who kept moving away from his sight.

Akane's..

...****...

After the events of that day, Akane and Shuu's daily life changes. 

Shuu's silence indicates that Akane is indeed a bully for Shuu, leading Akane to make the decision to stay away from him.

Their jokes are no longer heard. Their togetherness is reduced. They never even look like each other as before. Their views were always diverted when they passed. The rope that they had stranded together since childhood, was now slowly detached from the bond. Their friendship began to fade.

"Akane was gone. Lately he looks busy, he also always locked himself in the room. If Shuu knows something, please tell auntie yes" Akane explained.

"Good bi. Then excuse me" Shuu said bowing respectfully.

This must be my fault. How can I talk to Akane?

After the events of the day, Akane is always seen avoiding Shuu. He always made excuses to get away from her both at school and at home.

"Akane-chan!" Call Shuu's mother. Feeling called, Akane quickly approached Shuu's mother.

"What's bi?" Ask Akane.

"You're definitely going to Saionji-sensei's dojo right? Can auntie take this? Shuu hasn't had lunch yet, auntie is afraid she's wretched" explained Mother Shuu looking worried.

"really? Well bi, I'll bring it for her" Akane said receiving a lunchbox from Shuu's mother.

"Thank you, sorry to bother you"

"No matter bi, I don't feel bothered" Akane replied with a smile. Akane bowed her body before she left.

How will I face Shuu later? I'm so scared..

I don't really remember how all this happened. I really want to meet him, I want to talk to him, I want to hear his Kyudo again, but how? I no longer have the right to do all that.

Slowly he turned his face. Its sapphire eyes reflect the thousands of stars that adorn the night sky. Akane slowly smiled.

"It's so beautiful"

Star, can't you grant my wish? I want our relationship to go back to how it used to be, I don't want our friendship to end like this.

Akane was silent stopping her steps. His sapphire eyes were round in surprise. Akane's smile slowly grew on her face.

A shooting star flashed right above Akane's head, caught clearly by her sapphire eyes.

"I wish my wish could be granted."

...****...

Akane breathed deeply. He's standing at the Saionji-sensei dojo.

"It won't bother Shuu, perhaps."

Akane then pressed down on the bell and before long the middle-aged woman came out to Akane.

"Akane? Long time no see. You rarely come here, are you okay?" Saionji-sensei asked worriedly.

"I'm sorry I rarely call you, sensei. I'm fine" Akane smiled.

"Thank God then. Come on in, Shuu is training inside" Sensei smiled.

"Sorry sensei, but I can't. I'm just here to deliver Shuu's supplies, sensei. Auntie said, Shuu hasn't eaten since noon so I drove her here. Can I leave it to sensei?" Ask Akane hesitates.

"Sensei doesn't matter, but why don't you give it to yourself?"

Akane bowed her gaze with a soft look of her eyes.

"I can't sensei. I don't want to bother him."

Saionji-sensei, who saw Akane's unusual expression, immediately understood that she and Shuu were in trouble.

"Alright, sensei understands" said Saionji-sensei taking over the lunchbox from Akane's hands.

"Thank you so much sensei" Akane said bowing her body respectfully. "I have to go now, again thank you very much."

"Hmm, be careful when you go home."

"Good sensei."

Akane and Shuu must be in trouble, it's not usually the two of them like this.

...****...

"Shuu, take a break. Your mother brought supplies for you" Saionji-sensei told Shuu.

"Mother? Did you come here, sensei?"

Saionji-sensei shook his head slowly. "Akane delivered it."

Shuu's calm face looked surprised.

"Akane? Then where is he now?"

"He's gone home. It's free if you chase after him now. Eat, do not make your mother and Akane's efforts that bring it to waste" explained Saionji-sensei again.

Seen disappointed look from the violet netra. So did Shiragiku Noa who looked disappointed with different reasons.

"good. Thank you, sensei" said Shuu weakly.

Akane...how can I talk to you? I want to apologize to you.
