Sahara calmed down and started to feed the fish again. She felt that it was very nice to be a fish since she didn''t need to worry about a lot of matters. She sighed and said, "I want to be a fish."


    "...."


    They looked at him waiting for him to say something.


    ''Is it me again?'' Yuuki massaged his temple and said, "It might be impossible to be a fish but it is possible to be a beautiful mermaid." He gave her a charming smile while saying it in a deep voice.


    "..."


    "That might be impossible for me," Sahara said without any expression.


    "...."


    "I was joking, you don''t need to take it seriously," Yuuki said and continued to feed the fish.


    "So why are you gathering us here, Aniki?" Ishida asked.


    "Wait for a while, we''re going to wait for everyone toe," Yuuki said.


    "Everyone?" Ishida suddenly didn''t feelfortable anymore. He still remembered the thing that had happened yesterday after they had gone back.


    "What''s wrong?" Yuuki asked since he saw his expression started to be strange.


    "Nothing," Ishida shook his head.


    Yuuki was wondering whether there was another thing happening again. He sighed and felt that their rtionship was just tooplicated. He looked at Ishida and wondered what this guy wanted to do right now.


    "Yasho!"


    They turned and saw a group of people that they had been waiting for.


    Nagatsuka, Miki, and Satoshi walked together.


    "Yo!"


    Ueno appeared from behind of Satoshi and walked together with them.


    Yuuki thought that it would be hard to ask them to start to say something but it seemed he didn''t need to wait since the hypocrite girl had started to talk and reported everything to him. He felt thankful but he would never get close to this one.


    In summary, Miki told him that Ishida had been bullying Shouko when they were in elementary school.


    Yuuki wanted to shut her mouth when she had be hysterical but he didn''t say anything and looked at her boyfriend.


    "Calm down, Miki," Satoshi said.


    Miki took a deep breath and said, "I''m sorry but it was all your fault, to begin with." Her voice was very sad and tried to be the victim, "Still, Mashiba said I should forgive you if you apologize to Nishimiya."


    Ishida was a bit shocked with this girl since she tried to me him for everything. He wanted to say something but he couldn''t do that since it was his fault, to begin with.


    "Wait for a second," Ueno couldn''t handle it anymore and looked at her, "That''s messed up. What right do we have to criticize Ishida over it?"


    Miki looked at her and showed a shock reaction, "We?" She raised her voice slightly, "You''ve got it wrong, Nao!"


    "Got what wrong?" Ueno said with an annoyed tone.


    "Unlike me, you went out of your way to bully Nishimiya," Miki had let out her tears and looked very saddened, "Don''t lump me in with you."


    No one could say anything since it was very awkward.


    Yuuki had decided that he wouldn''t get too close to this girl no matter what. He was sure that he would be annoyed to death by her.


    "Nao..." Sahara felt very ufortable and wanted to stop them but she couldn''t since she was too afraid.


    "Ah..." Ueno had given up on Miki and knew that nothing would enter her head anymore, "Yeah. I''m not like you at all. You justughed and fell in line with what I was doing!"


    "Mean!" Miki looked at her in disbelief.


    Yuuki still appreciated this Ueno since she didn''t hide her disdain and hate toward Shouko and it was better than someone who was a hypocrite, still, he needed to give her a punishmentter since she had made Shouko cry.


    "What do you think, Sahara?" Ueno asked.


    "Eh? You''re asking me?" Sahara was startled when she needed to join the conversation.


    "Nao badmouthed you a ton too, Sahara!" Miki said.


    "I was only telling the truth!" Ueno replied and looked at Sahara, "Out with it, Sahara!"


    Sahara became a bit scared and clenched both of her hands, "I - I..... I was scared of both of you back then."


    "What? Whose side are you on?" Ueno was pissed.


    "Neither of you!" Sahara replied.


    Ishida wasn''t sure but he felt very tired with all of this. He rested his back on the side of the bridge and slumped down slowly sitting on the grounds while resting his head with his arms hiding his face, "Enough."


    "It''s all my fault."


    Ishida just wanted this to be over. He was wondering why it had turned into this.


    ''Yuuki...'' Shouko tucked his shirt.


    Yuuki sighed and nodded.


    "I hate that line of thinking," Ueno said.


    "Ueno," Ishida buried his head on his arm and said, "Stop thinking that you can decide everything for others."


    Ueno was a bit shocked but she couldn''t say anything.


    "You don''t have to put it that way," Sahara said.


    "Shut up, Sahara," Ishida was annoyed and said, "You''re gonna run and regret your cowardice again, anyway."


    "What''s going on with you, Ishida?" Miki asked.


    "Not another word, Kawai," Ishida had enough of her, "All you''ve ever cared about is yourself."


    Miki put her hand on her mouth showing that she was shocked.


    "Yasho... I''m on your side, okay," Nagatsuka said.


    "Oh, buzz off. You don''t know the first thing about me," Ishida said.


    "I''ve had it! I''m leaving!" Miki said and left.


    Nagatsuka sighed, "Yasho...." He looked at him for a while, "It''s okay. It doesn''t bother me." He wanted to go back but he was stopped by him.


    "Stay here for a while," Yuuki said.


    Nagatsuka wasn''t sure what he was nning but he nodded.


    "Sho-chan, I''ll go back," Sahara said and left.


    Shouko nodded at her.


    "Don''t," Yuuki stopped her.


    Sahara wasn''t sure what he wanted to do.


    "Sorry, Ishida, I shouldn''t havee," Ueno said and she also left but she secretly looked at them from afar.


    "Ishida, you''re too awful," Satoshi said.


    Ishida lifted his head but he didn''t look at him, "Keep your nose out of it, Outsider."


    Satoshi turned, "And here I thought we were friends." He wanted to walk but he was stopped by him too, "Hmm?"


    "Ishida," Yuuki said.


    Ishida sighed but didn''t look at him, "You''re calling everyone to see me like this right? I know that I was wrong and I regretted my actions during elementary school. I know this is the result of the action that I have taken before. I''m veryme, right? I - I..."


    Suddenly Ishida felt that he was lifted by someone. He didn''t even have time to scream and suddenly he was thrown into the river.


    *SPLASH!!!


    Everyone was shocked by his actions.


    "YUUKI!!"


    "YASHO!!!" Nagatsuka was shocked to see his best friend being thrown into the river. He looked at him angrily and said, "What are you doing!?" But he didn''t receive his answer since he was also thrown into the river.


    *SPLASH!!!


    Satoshi moved back, "Don''t tell me?! Me too?" He was right and he was also thrown into the river.


    *SPLASH!!!


    "Yuuki, what are you doing?" Shouko and Yuzuru were shocked but they didn''t receive their answer since he was also jumping into the river.


    *SPLASH!!!
