(Kiana POV)

A couple of days after the incident. Yn and I return to St. Freya High to recover even figured out what to do next. Auntie Theresa and Auntie Himeko brought Yn over at her office wanting to have a talk with him about what happened at New Zealand after Wendy was fused with one of his Chemise. It raises an alarm so it's only natural for them to be concerned. Yn said he didn't know that'll happen. Was caught off guard as well. Theresa said "if it happens again they'll have to confiscate his Gotchard Driver and Chemise to avoid any future situations. Yn didn't like it. Saying they have no right since his Driver and Chemise aren't the property of St. Freya High nor Schicksal. Later Yn tried to act nonchalant but.... I can see it he's worried just like me. We both try to hide it with a smile. Not sure what to say to him. Decided to take him out to the city to keep our minds off.

Evening

Kiana: Hey, how about we go to the arcade?

Yn: Huh? Oh, yeah. Sure.

Kiana (worried):.....

Headed toward the arcade to play a couple of games. Currently playing a fighting game called Mortal-something. Yn is a yellow ninja guy while I'm a blue ninja girl, it was a close few matches until he kept closing. Slams his both fist on the game.

Yn: Damn it!

Kiana: H-hey. Chill! Just a game.

Yn: Uh. R-right. Sorry.

He smile. Yet.....it seems kinda fake.

Kiana: Okay. How about Air Hockey?

Time Skip-Few hours later brought to you by Dark Magician Girl from the Yu-Gi-Oh series

Yn and I play a good while except he doesn't seem to be trying. It's like his mind is wandering somewhere else. I decided to stop at a crepe shop. Told Yn I'm buying this time. He waited at the benches to wait.

Crepe Shop Clerk: Here you go.

Crepe Shop Clerk handed two crepes to me which looks tasty!

Pink is for Kiana and the other one is for Yn.

Kiana: 'Maybe this will cheer him up'.

Walk back to Yn to eat crepes together.

Kiana: Uh.

I saw Yn's depressed expression.

When I saw his depressed face it made my heartache. It hurts. Don't want to see Yn depressed. I wanted him to smile again like he always does. At the same time I'm currently hiding my sadness too. Wonder what he is thinking right now?

(Yn POV)

I am the worst. I screwed up. Couldn't prevent it. Bronya is gone. Mei is gone. Wendy is gone. Have no idea where they are at. If I'd known I could've saved them even means charging in by myself. Wasn't strong. I'm so useless. What's the point of being a Kamen Rider I couldn't protect the people in front of me! Especially those who are dear to me!

Yn: 'Damn it. Damn it! Some hero I am'!

If only I could unlock the full potential of the Chemies to Henshin into Iron Gotchard, Platinum Gotchard and Rainbow Gotchard. My skills as ALCHEMIST are amateur at best! I only started it nearly a month ago. It's my fault I'm so incompetent.

Yn: 'Maybe if it was the real Kamen Rider Gotchard probably done a better job than me. At least he...'.

Kiana (worried): Yn.

I look up to see Kiana with a concerned face while holding crepes.

Kiana: Are you okay?

Shook my head and smiled not wanting to worry her.

Yn: Yeah. Man, I am starving.

I got up. Grab the crepe with chocolate ice cream and brownie. Took a bite of it.

Yn: Mmmm! So good! Thanks, Kiana! Hehe.

Kiana: No problem. Yn-

Yn: Oh, man. What should we do next? How about Karaoke? No. Already did last time. Would say Museum buuuut... pretty sure you'll get bored so-

Kiana: Yn!

I was startled by Kiana's sudden shout.

Yn: Hey, what's up? Did I do something wrong?

Kiana: Stop pretending.

Yn: W-what do you mean?

Kiana: I'm sad too.

Yn: ?

Kiana: I know you're worried about Bronya, Mei and Wendy. Also that time one of your Chemies fuses with Wendy. It causes Auntie Himeko and Auntie Theresa to be concerned. You're doing exactly what I would do. Except it is okay to express what you feel. We're friends aren't we?

Yn: Kiana.

Kiana: Remember what you said to me?

Flashback-Few weeks ago

Yn: I've noticed you've been stressing about something? These blackouts and you keep getting nightmares for the few weeks.

Kiana looks away unsure how to tell her friend about the nightmares she's been getting for a while. Thought he wouldn't understand nor worry him. Kiana plays it off cool saying "It's just a silly nightmare of training and exams that made her stressed out". Yn sigh knowing Kiana won't tell him. He decided to let it go for now.

Yn: Okay. But if there's something bothering you. I'm a few steps away from your room. You're my friend, Kiana.

He smile.

Kiana (smile): Thank you, Yn. You're very sweet.

Flashback End

Kiana: I felt the same way. If there's something bothering you. I'm a few steps away from your room too. You're my friend, Yn.

My eyes widened because Kiana just used my own words from back then. End up dropping my facade and left hand into a fist.

Yn: I'm sorry that Wendy was fuse with Hawkstar. Also for being useless not able to save Bronya, Mei and Wendy. Some Kamen Rider I am. Nothing about me has change. I'm still pathetic. I-I am-

K

iana immediately hug me try to comfort me. As she spoke to me with a soft tone.

Kiana: Your not pathetic. Your not useless. It was my fault too. I was powerless to save them as well. Part of me wanted to go to save them, but I have no idea where they may be at. We have to be wait until something turns up.

Yn: How are you so calm?

Kiana: I'm not. For now we can't do anything. We have to wait. When they show we'll save our friends together.

Yn: Kiana.

I smile.snd hug her back.

Yn: Thank you.

Kiana (smile): Your welcome.

We glance each other eyes. My heart started to race. My cheeks turn red. I notice her cheeks turning red as well. Slowly move closer to each other as our lips almost touch.  Both of us snap out of it immediately and back away from each other looking the other way!

Kiana (blush heavily): Idiot! What you were trying to do?! I love Mei!

Yn (blush heavily): Oh please! You-ow!

She stomp on my right foot!

Kiana: Shut up! Hmph!

Kiana walks away while fuming. Jeez...I don't understand women at all!

Yn: Still..... Again...thank you, Kiana. Your right. Next time we'll save them together!

Kiana turned her head with a cheerful smile.

Kiana: Your welcome!
