The booths backs were back to back, the backs of which were pretty high in fact, even with Minami's height, you wouldn't be able to see more then the top of the back of her head. Soon the waitress came to her, wearing a rather cute maid outfit and requesting what the young stoic girl would like. Minami placed an order for a small coffee, she always prefered to keep things simple. She pulled out a book and slowly allowed herself to be engulfed within it.
"So what did you bring me here for." A somewhat familiar voice squeaked. Minami's head snapped up, the voice truly was one she had heard before, but not one she knew to heart. It was then it hit her, it was the voice of Yutaka's cousin Konata. The blue haired otaku, who, though two years Yutaka's senior, was approximately the same height. Minami wondered for a moment who she was talking to, some crush attempting to confess? Straining her ear, she listened.
"Well it's something about Yutaka, we... We did something with her that we felt maybe we shouldn't have. Considering your her cousin and our dear friend. We wanted to get it out in the open in hopes you don't have any harsh feelings about it." A voice that was definitely Kagami explained. Minami felt a slight panic.
At first Minami felt guilty for eavesdropping. But knowing someone had done something to Yutaka, she had to continue. She didn't care who they were, if they had hurt the innocent frail girl she'd tear them to shreds. But she needed more information, and so, straining her ear, she listened more intently than ever.
"Me and Tsukasa..." She paused, there was a small whimper, assumingly coming from Tsukasa. " Had sex with her." Kagami admitted in defeat. Minami was absolutely shocked, she felt a bitter hand grip her heart. The hair on the back of her neck pricked up as she lowered her book in terrified defeat. There are few things in the world she felt this deeply about. She loved Yutaka... And from what she could tell Yutaka loved her two... Right? So why would she pick someone else? Was she too formal? Did she not drop enough hints? Damn her shy nature!
"Ohhh... well thats allright... so have I." Answered Izumi, making Minami jump again. Yutaka slept with her own cousin? That wasn't the Yutaka Minami knew. It couldn't be. No no no.
"And from what I hear she gave Hiyori quite a ride two." Konata finished.
Minami couldn't possibly stand any more of this. That was the final straw. It was too much. Slamming her money down on the table she didn't even wait for her beverage or her bill. She just did not care. And who would in this situation. Angrily she stormed out of the restaurant, not caring for the scene she caused or the fact that as she left Kagami, Tsukasa and Konata were gaping wide eyed at her. She had spent every waking moment thinking of this girl only to find out she wasn't who she thought she was. It was horrible.
"Guy's." Konata muttered as she realised Minami had stormed out of the booth right behind theirs. "I think we fucked up."
Minami had finally made it back to her home. This couldn't be true, it wouldn't be true. She just had too make sure. Surely Yutaka was still the sweet innocent girl she had fallen for, surely she was still Yutaka. The frail innocent princess she had wanted to protect. Tears ran down Minami's cheeks as she crashed onto her bed. She hugged the largest pillow she had to her chest. Feelings of anguish and loss filled her chest. She just wanted to hold Yutaka to her chest and have her tell her everything was okay, they were lying, for whatever reason. It didn't matter but they were WRONG!
"P-p-p-please Yutaka." She whispered into the pillow. As she held the pillow tighter, she pictured Yutaka. Yutaka was the one she was holding, not the perverted whore they had described, but the sweet angelic Yutaka. The one that blushed at the thought of kissing, the one that could see the good in anyone, no matter how deep they had it hidden. Like she had done with Minami so long ago. That was the Yutaka she was holding in her arms. The thought calmed her sniffles and brought peace to her heart.
She softened her grip on the pillow. Making sure to still hold it close, picturing it was Yutaka she was holding to her chest. She leaned down and kissed the top of the pillow, pretending the innocent Yutaka had looked up at her, her eyes shining, and Minami had planted a simple soft kiss on her forehead.
"Oh Yutaka." She sighed as she forgot the rest of the world and dozed off, wrapped protectively in her pure and loving fantasy.
The next day Minami prepared herself to confront the small girl. To ask her about what she had heard. It was probably nothing, a misunderstanding. And once she proved that she would finally confess her love to Yutaka. For though the girl may not return her feelings, at least she would finally have closure. It was a lunchtime, not too long ago Yutaka had excused herself to the restroom. Minami had been waiting for this opportunity, she waited for a while, not wanting to draw suspicion, and soon took after her, her heart thundering in her breastless chest. Walking down the hallway she was very nearing the bathroom. One that, unknowing to her, housed a lust filled Patty and Yutaka.
She could hear the sounds coming from it, they were strained low moans, pants, and sounds of clothes moving around. She tried to ignore it, to play it off as something else. It couldn't be that, it just couldn't. She didn't want it to be. But all her dreams and fantasies were shattered as she entered, only to be greeted by low whine of someone calling out Yutaka's name. And with those huskily moaned syllables, Minami's heart was torn.
Minami could only stop and stare at the stall wide eyed. Her emotions building inside her. She couldn't stay here. She just couldn't. Backing out of the restroom she turned and ran. Out of the school building and as far as her long legs would carry her. When she finally came to a heaving stop she didn't recognise where she was. Tears dripped down her face and she was sobbing, which didn't help her in trying to catch her breath.
The skies darkened as if in sympathy to her own emotions. Distant thunder crackled as if in foreshadowing the rising storm inside the young girls heart. Today her innocence would die. She would no longer be the white knight as she was perceived. All she wanted to do was break, maim, destroy, and obliterate until the awful feelings bellowing inside her would go away. Little did she know, opportunity was knocking just around the corner.
