Small world?

After Emiko enjoys having fun with Riku, Emiko is still cold on Eito even though they are being called as friends.

The next day, Eito and Toshiaki were walking at the hallway of the school, then Emiko was walking at the opposite direction, while her face was so nervous, that Eito and Toshiaki notice that uneasy look.

"Yo Eito"

"What?"

"Is she always been like that?

"Eh? Who are you talking about?"

*Toshiaki taps Eito's back*

"Come on you are friends right? You know I'm talking about her"

"I see, I remember that Sugihara asked Toshi about my address yesterday... well no, even I noticed her face"

"Really? You guys aren't dating, do you?"*Toshiaki smirks*

"Shut up... as if I were do that"

Toshiaki stops walking and looks like he recalls something.

"Eito..."

"Hmm? What's wrong Toshi?"

"Do you still believe about that?

"Well, It's not that I really got no options but, I just never go back on my words"

Toshiaki made a worried face for Eito, after asking that strange question that even Eito knows what Toshiaki meant.

While they were walking, Toshiaki sees something at the lower-level classroom.

"Huh? Is that a new transferee?"

"Hmm... I think so, I heard some rumors yesterday that she is girl though"

The girl was appearing to have a red hair, slim body, and she's tall.

"Well Eito, that's a pretty girl, I wonder what's her name."

"Don't ask me, I did not met her yet or should I say, I will not get to know her"

The pair continue to walk as their class was about to begin.

"This is our body and that is our brain... *continues chatter*"

It's been second week of the school but, Eito and Emiko still hasn't talk yet inside of the classroom. While Eito was listening to the teacher, Emiko suddenly puts a paper on Eito's table.

"Ehh? What is this?"

Eito hold the paper and started to read it.

"Meet me at the rooftop..."

Eito was confused and shocked at the same time when he reads the paper from Emiko.

"Well look, some kind of improvement, but I wonder what it is?"

After a few hours, the school bell rang and all the students headed for the cafeteria for lunch. While Eito headed for the rooftop to see Emiko.

"That girl, how did she gone so fast from our classroom?"

Eito opens the door and find Emiko on the rooftop while she is holding a paper bag.

"Oi, Sugihara"

Emiko offers the paper bag she's holding to Eito like it was some kind of a present.

"I enjoyed yesterday at your house, and I would like to give you my present for you and Riku."

"'That's a cold way to say thanks but, still I have to appreciate it'... Ah sure, I'll give this to her so no worries hehe"

While the two while talking, the door of the rooftop suddenly opens and a girl comes in. Eito was surprised but, Emiko was more surprised than him, it happens to be the girl who was Toshiaki and Eito was talking about.

"Emi?"

"Emi? Seems like they know each other"

Emiko just stares at the girl like she have known here before that also Eito noticed.

"Hmm? What's wrong Sugihara, you know that girl?"

"S-she is Natsumi Hiraoka... remember the one I was talking about?"

"Hmm? 'Wait, red hair and she was about same age as we... huh? Don't tell me this is...'"

"This is my dad's daughter, and the one that he choose over me"

Eito was shocked, he never feels such intense presence on Emiko like something big will happen.

"Emi! I'm so glad I found you *smiles and run towards her*"

Natsumi notice Eito that looks like he was having a conversation along with Emiko then she looks so happy and smiles.

"Emi! Finally, you have made out a friend to help you"

"Natsumi, why are you here?"

"Oh yeah, let's see hmm... father told me to study here and he said that you were here so I got excited and I apply for the school then, here it is hehe"

Emiko makes a cold and angry face, and she tries to calm herself by closing her eyes as a sign of she don't want to hear anything from her. After a seconds of silence, because of scary aura shown by Emiko, Emiko starts to walks away to the door of the rooftop but, Natsumi grabs her hand, begging her to talk things through.

"Emi, father already regrets all the things he done to you" Natsumi whisper to Emiko.

But Emiko slaps Natsumi's hand to let go, then she walks straight. Eito can't speak any until Natsumi ask him about Emiko.

"Oh sorry... are you a friend of Emi?"

*Natsumi eyes were shiny as she was about to cry*

"Uhm, yeah... I guess you could say that"

Eito stares at Natsumi thinking about why Emiko was so angry on her.

"This girl is so friendly and she looks so reliable, what does she had to make Sugihara angry?"

Natsumi wipes a single drop of tear on her eyes by her hand and she smiles at Eito she looks happy and jolly as if there's nothing happen.

"Would you help me?"

"S-sure, what kind of help?

"Well you know, since we were a child, me and father use to visit her sometimes, but all I can see to her is that she never show interest to come along with us... but you, you know her better than me, so would you help me to get along with her?"

"Sorry... yes we are friends but, I don't know much about her either and~"

"I don't believe that... as I know her, she hates talking to other people because she believes that words are nothing but lies, however, she doesn't know that there is true love that brings the truth to our hearts."

"'Yeah she's right, Sugihara is not a kind of girl who wants to talk with the others'... sorry but, I don't really know how I make her friendly with me."

"Really? Then I help you to know it *smiles*"

Eito was fluttered of the cheerful approach by Natsumi. Eito looks at his wristwatch and realized the class is about to begin.

"Uhm, Natsumi"

"Yes?"

"The class is about to begin, I need to hurry now~ oh and you too, you're just new here so don't give them a bad impression *coughs* man I forgot to drink my medicine, til next time."

Eito ran to his classroom, then Natsumi also return to her class. While Natsumi is seating at her seat, she is thinking something.

"Maybe that's the reason why Emi was close with him"

*the teacher calls the attention of the class of Natsumi*

All the students were heading home, and Emiko opens her phone and she read a message that she received last week and that was her father's message that says 'Emi, please get along with your little sister, she will be transfer to your school next week'.

"Why dad?"
