Kuri's face clouded over.

”Had to tell him I can't understand why.”

For once an angry glimmer lit in Kuri's eyes, but it died as soon as it awoke.

”Shut it Wakayama...”

She didn't have time to allow Kuri's fan-club to get involved. ”I mean, wasn't all that much there to love after all.”

A gust of wind ran along the street. Noriko heard it rustle branches above her, she heard Kuri take two steps and stand absolutely still, she heard fan-club members gasp for breath, and she heard strangely running steps from the school yard. 'Kyoko? Why are you running?'

”Don't do it! Noriko, stop!”

'I have to move in for the kill.' ”Kuri, if you don't love him, then just throw away that toy.” 'I'm not doing this for you Ryu. This is for Kuri.' But her idiot bro knew that. It was why he asked her in the first place. Noriko was aware of that. He was the catalyst and she the mover.

”Toy?” one of the boys wondered.

”Noriko, I couldn't.” An ember of life lit in Kuri's eyes.

'Yes, please, we want you back. Yell at me, scream and hate me, but come alive!'

”Back when I wanted him you never let go.” That was grossly unfair and untrue, but Noriko couldn't afford being nice. ”Now when he only looks your way you dump him by the road.”

Kuri didn't say anything, but her silence spoke of anguish.

”Keeping that ring of his for the money?”

The gust of wind ran it's course and made a left turn at the end of the street. Kuri took another step forward and the fan-club growled with anger.

”Sis, there's no one like you. Thank you!” her idiot brother whispered.

”Noriko, how low do you think...”

'Got you!' ”To any depth. There's no stopping you from sinking even deeper.” 'And now I kill her.' ”You even made money when Kyoko got stabbed.”

Kuri looked as if Noriko had slapped her.

”What happened to the Kuri who came first to Urufu's hospital but last to Kyoko's. How little is your best friend worth?” 'I can't make you two work again, but I can give you a clean break.' Noriko looked at Kyoko who had stayed silent during the assault. 'I'm sorry for dragging you into this, Kyoko, but this is my last gift to Kuri and Urufu.'

”Why would...”

”To smash what you broke. Kuri, it's broken. Don't try to mend it! Now off you go to the job you love so much.”

With Kyoko's hand in hers Noriko watched Kuri get into her car. Ryu stood behind them and made sure none in Kuri's fan-club tried to attack Noriko.

”She'll hate me, but this is the best I can do,” Noriko said to Kyoko. It hurt. ”I'll explain 'some day'.”

'Some day. I just lost one of my two best friends, and I have to wait for 'some day'. I didn't want this.'
