A few minutes after they finished the last exam her idiot brother came up with another of his harebrained questions .
It was brain-dead to the extent he immediately regressed from 'brother' or even 'bro' to 'idiot brother' in seconds . In what alternative universe would she be able to solve the love problems of her best friend, the fifty year old supermodel with men clinging to her like grapes . The one who decided to cut off the man who must have been the love of her life, and who was Noriko's first love as well .
"But I promised I'd ask you . "
'And that makes it better exactly how?' Noriko stared at her idiot bro . 'Did we really have the same parents?' "Fine, you asked . "
Ryu's face lit up enough for Noriko to glare at him .
"You're on your own with this one . She hands him c.r.a.p chocolate and he returns a million yen ring?"
Ryu nodded .
"And how did you expect me to talk them out of that kind of monumental idiocy? Moron, is it contagious?"
That he nodded again didn't make things any better .
'You really thought I could? G.o.ds!' "Ryu, they're beyond help . They're so disgustingly stupid I feel ashamed I fell in love with one of them . So should you . "
She had to keep her voice down . Ryu was still Ryu, girlfriend or not . When anyone spoke with him people tended to eavesdrop . The midget sister equipped with an up and rising model as boyfriend didn't make it any more discreet .
Thinking of Nao soured her mood some more . He worked more than could be accounted to Kuri's well paid prison . Her amazingly paid prison . Noriko guessed Kuri alone made more than Urufu's company, and the way Urufu worked the last month money kept pouring in .
'Broken and rich . Is money really worth all that?' But money wasn't part of it . Noriko knew that . Working to death as a means to escape the trap they built of themselves, to pretend they didn't notice how much they each hurt the one they loved the most . If that was becoming an adult, then Noriko would stay a child for the rest of her life .
"You're silent, sis . "
Noriko fidgeted a bit . 'Sorry, forgot you were here . ' "Follow me!"
She led her idiot brother down the stairs, en route their lockers and through the entrance . Not until she reached the line of sakura trees, which already showed signs of breaking out in beauty, did she stop .
"Master of morons, I'll help . OK?"
Ryu nodded . He even knocked a fist to his head like an elementary schooler . "How . . . "
"Silent! Contagious . It's contagious!"
Ryu stayed silent, and Noriko could afford enjoying spring some more while they waited for Kuri to show up . Her car already stood waiting, but it didn't worry Noriko as much now as earlier . A phone-call to Sato-sensei and car, thugs and Kuri each vanished in different directions . After Noriko found that out she didn't care, and neither did Kuri .
Then the midday sun shone from the entrance, and soon thereafter a halo of golden hair floated above school-yard gravel . As had been the routine since she dumped Urufu, Kuri came with a reinvigorated fan-club tailing her steps . Even the number of confessions increased .
"Idiot bro, last chance . Do you really want me to got through with this?"
He nodded .
'Sorry Kuri, but this will hurt . '
Noriko waited for her best friend to leave the school yard before the ambush .
"Kuri, Ryu here asked me why he fell in love with you . "
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 a.s.sault . '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 . '
