The day where Asuna broke all of the GOM's hearts except Akashi and Kuroko.....

Asuna's POV:

I was currently stuck between two highly trained officers in a fancy limousine. Once we arrived at the destination I spoke for the first time since I was kidnapped. "You have lots of explaining to do, Claude~" I said in a super sweet voice with a fake sweet smile while cocking my head to the adviser and butler of my uncle, barely noticing the 2 officers taking a big step back and giving a very big sympathetic look to their boss. Claude smiled elegantly, "Like I said earlier, we need you in the company. Now." I looked away, "I can guess, uncle is currently standing in front of death's door, huh?" Claude looked down in grief despite the smile, "Correct. And you are the new head, Asuna-sama."

"But I've still haven't said all my goodbye's...." "You mean breaking your friends hearts." I narrowed my eyes, I did felt another presence earlier while I was saying 'goodbye' to Aomine, but I didn't pay much attention to it, since Aomine was keep yelling to the world why, huh, they must have been spying on me for the past few days. "We've already sent them blunt summary of what you were probably planning to say to those two people you haven't said goodbye yet too, Kuroko Tetsuya and Akashi Seijuro." I glared at Claude. Claude glared back, "This isn't the time for this, any moment and Master might leave this world" I said nothing as I walked into the airport. 'Perhaps its better this way...'

"Flight 231, heading for America, please start boarding."

An slightly dreadful announcement sounded. I sighed as I stood up and began heading to the departure gate, Claude trailing behind me along with the two officers. I touched my wig that was still on my head, I took a lock of it and watched it slowly slip out of my fingers. Pfft. This wig was a pain but also a joy at the same time. It was fun, I suppose. Pretending to be Tetsuya's sister.

'Tetsuya.' He must be devastated that I didn't personally tell him myself about all this.... 'Ma, it can't be helped--'

"Tetsuna!!!" a familiar voice intruppted my thinking, I turned around to a very worn out, but still expressionless Kuroko Tetsuya. I quickly hid my shock by shaking my head briefly then shot him a normal 'tetsuna' close eyed smile, "Ah, Tetsuya-nii, that was the first time I've heard you shout that loud! Or the first time I heard you shout at all. What are you doing here--" I stopped as I saw that Tetsuya wanted to talk about something serious. I let go of the fake smile and then ordered softly, "Claude, take your officers and go ahead first, I'll catch up soon." "But mistress, we ha--" "That's an order." Claude bowed and the two officers.

"I just wanted to see you off properly." Said Tetsuya, monotone. I smiled slightly, he already knew my situation, and out of the GoM he understood me the most, it was as if we were really twins. Then Tetsuya bowed, "I'm sorry Asuna-kun, I got attracted to 'Tetsuna' and never really saw you for who you are..." I smiled sadly, "No, I don't blame you. I had many fun memories since I became 'Tetsuna' and I regret not realizing it sooner, but 'Tetsuna' is also a part of me, but perhaps is best if they don't know that." Tetsuya lowered his eyes in regret.

"You realize it too, don't you Tetsuya? The GoM don't seem to realize it themselves and you can barely barely notice it, but they are changing very slowly. I hope it won't be anything serious though." Tetsuya nodded, "I need to change too, I need to train harder to keep up with them, I have to be strong to continue being with them. I need to change this weak body and personality. I can't play just because I like basketball" I slightly raised my eyebrows, worried. Tetsuya already trained so hard that sometime he would be sick, Tetsuya curled his face as if he was really focused on growing strong. I smiled. "Ne, Tetsuya?" Tetsuya turned his attention back to me, I turned and looked out through the giant windows at my plane, preparing to go to America.

"Tell me. I don't know much about basketball....(I lied again)"

"But what does it mean to be strong? Is it something you can attain only by lying to yourself?" I chuckled slightly.

"I'm sorry, but I think hiding your true self--pretending to be different from who you are-- is a form of cowardice. Don't you think its important to acknowledge who you are

"Having the courage to be able to admit what you love. . . . . . . . .Enjoying what you love . . . . . And being true to yourself . . . . . ." I turned and smiled a real smile at Tetsuya,

"Isn't that also what it means to be strong?"

Tetsuya looked at me with wide eyes for a moment. Then his face went back to expressionless, not replying, he stared through the window too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Flight 231, heading for America, last warning for departure."

"Looks like that's my flight warning. Thanks for coming Tetsuya, for some reason I felt a real big weight off my heart. Sayonara." I turned around and took my steps to the departure gate.

"I won't say goodbye...." "Eh?" I turned around confused. Then I got taken aback. "I know you'll come back, and when you do, I want to make a lot of fun memories with not 'Tetsuna' but Asuna-chan." He gave me the most sweetest smile I've ever seen from him. I widened my eyes, then I smiled, "I look forward to it, Tetsuya-nii~" I then ran to the departure gate, my heart feeling light of another burden.

Kuroko's POV:

I ignored the small ache I felt as I watched someone very important to me leave. What was this pain I felt in my heart? Then a small realization hit me, something I wished I realized sooner.

'When you come back, lets make many fun memories together, Asuna-chan. Though I don't want it to be as siblings. Maybe something deeper then that.....'

Then I left with a very confused heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Do you need anything, Mistress?" Claude asked while I was settling down on my seat in first class. "No thank you, I would appreciate some alone time though." Claude bowed, "As you wish, Mistress." I stared out the window of the plane, I felt light of another burden after talking to Tetsuya, it made me feel relived. I slowly drifted off to sleep.

'Now only if I can get that other burden off my heart.....' I thought as I pictured a certain red-head, the only one I didn't personally talk to. I wonder if he despises me now....

Please comment, vote, and enjoy. Sorry to say this, but their will be no updates until Friday (or Thursday) I'm going on a special camp, and they don't allow phones, laptops, or ipad's unfortunately. I try and update a lot when I come back.

Important P.S. The speech Asuna said to Kuroko is completely and totally not mine, it belongs to the fabulous author and owner of Ouran highschool host club.But this speech moved me so much that I just had to use it! All credits to the author and owner, Bisco Hatori!
