A/N: Play this when Rena says, "H-How could you all?!"
Oh, and I'm putting in a minor ship between Kidou and Alisa, so, sorry to either Genda or Kuroi shippers out there "^^
****************************************************
It was a day after that. I got a call from Kuroi that he and Gina were let off, and that they lost to Chaos, a team combined from Prominence and Diamond Dust. Aphrodi ended up in the hospital due to fatigue and injury of his body... I feel bad for him. Really.
It was late, probably 10 in the evening. Jirou stayed at Koujirou's because the match ended at 5:30, so he had no choice to bunk with Koujirou. Mom and dad were out because tonight was their college reunion, so I'm alone. I... disliked being alone. Rosa, Nuichi, and Chiyuri stayed with me until 3 pm, and Kenjirou stayed until 7 pm. After that, no one else came. I contacted Jirou, Kuroi, Otonashi, and Asuka, but they weren't picking up.
I carefully stood up and stretched my arms.
I heard knocks on the door.
"Who's here at this hour?" I asked myself. I grabbed my crutches and slowly went to the door. To my surprise, Kidou was standing outside my door, looking a little perplexed.
"Kidou? What on earth are you doing here at this hour?" I asked him.
"Look uh... you're good at making decisions, so I came here. Mind if I...?"
I let him in and we sat down on the couch. OK, I know I haven't really showed it, but I have some feelings for him. Hey, I don't... really have feelings for Koujirou. I know he has eyes for Nina. I heard from Jirou that they've been spending time privately... so I guess that could have a hint.
"So, what's the problem?" I asked.
He sighed. "I don't know whether to trust our coach or not. Just from the start, it didn't feel right. She did protect Gouenji, but she didn't care when Fubuki and Aphrodi ended up in the hospital. Now, she told us that we're going to Mt. Fuji. We asked why, but she never answered."
"I think you should go." I said.
"Why? I already told you she sounded suspicious." Kidou retaliated.
"Maybe she wants you to know the truth when you get there." I said. I mean, he said I'm good at decision making, and from what I heard, Kira will reveal everything soon, once they get to Mt. Fuji.
Kidou chuckled. "You really are good. I can see why you chose to leave Teikoku."
I giggled a little. "Hey, that's for my own sake, K?" I said.
"I get it, I get it." He said, chuckling again.
"Say uh..." I started.
"Hmm?" He looked at me.
My face turned pink. "Uhm... never mind. It's nothing."
"You wanted to ask something, so ask." He said, or, demanded. Meh, his tone can be confusing sometimes.
I took a deep breath, and my face turned into a darker shade of pink. "Do you happen to know someone who always carried a pin that said, '帝国は私の目標です'?" (Teikoku is my goal).
"Actually, I have." He gave a... a smile?
Kidou pulled out something from his pocket; A small, dark green pin that had red kanji that said, "帝国は私の目標です". How did he get his hands on that?
"Rena, I know this is yours, so here." He placed the pin on my light green shirt. OK, my face turned red at this point, but I hid my expression.
"Kidou?" I started, once he already placed the pin.
"Hmm?"
"Watashi wa... Anata no yō ni, daijōbudesuka?" I muttered, looking away from him, the red tinge coming back. He looked at me, but he looked rather shocked. Well, who wouldn't? I know I would if someone would just confess out of the blue.
"Rena, I didn't know, but I'm sorry, I... don't really see a vision with you and me." He said.
I sighed and gave smile, but I hope he didn't notice that it was a bitter one. "It's OK. I just... really needed to get it out of me, otherwise, I'd suddenly just shout it out."
"Ah, alright." Kidou patted my forehead. "I hope this doesn't turn awkward."
"Nah, we're still friends." I said, playfully punching his shoulder. "Thanks for my pin."
He stood up. "I'll lead myself out. You're welcome, and thanks for helping me decide."
"Good luck."
He gave another smile and left. I sighed and covered my face; Why did I just... urgh. Maybe I was confused, or delirious... yeah, that must be it.
I groaned and just lied down on the couch, and without even realizing it, I fell asleep.
(Rena's Nightmare)
Rena groaned as she woke up. She wasn't in her crutches anymore, and she was wearing her casual clothing. "What the hell? Where am I?!"
"You're in Raimon, Sakuma."
Rena turned around to see Kazemaru, Someoka, Tsuki, Kazane, a girl with blonde hair, Shourinji, Handa, Kageno, Matsuno, Kurimatsu, and Nishigaki, all wearing something that looked like jumpsuits, and the Aliea Meteorite was hanging on their necks, like Fudou's during the Shin Teikoku match.
"No..." Rena's eyes were widened. "H-How could you all?!"
"Listen here, Rena." Tsuki grabbed her by the shirt. Why do people in her nightmares keep doing that, she'll never know. "We're tired of being weak. With this, we;ll be strong!"
Rena managed to get out of her grip. "This is wrong! You'll end up breaking if you do!"
"That's only for the weak." Rena heard Kazemaru, and he was smirking. "Don't you wanna be strong?"
"That's the reason why I became her!!!" She shouted, moving backwards, but was stopped.
"How rude, Rena. And I thought we were stronger than them."
Before Rena could turn around, a dark, purple light surrounded her. In panic, she fell to her knees and covered her ears. The sound was horrible.
"Time to make you pay the price!!!"
