obsessions

Acceptance

     Ena sat in the car next to niragi as chishiya drove them.
     "So...how does it feel to be back in the real world" kuina said as she looked back at ena.
     Ena sat at one end of the car as niragi sat at another. Neither of them spoke a words as chishiya parked the car in front of the restaurant.
     "I rather be doing the games right now" mumbled ena as she got out with her umbrella and stood on the sidewalk. She looked at the sign before looking back at her friends. They all got out as chishiya put his arm around kuina and walked into the restaurant. Niragi followed behind as ena entered the restaurant as well.
     "HELLOOO WELCOME TO KUMIKO'S RESTURA-" suddenly the young girl behind the counter stopped greeting them as she saw ena. They all looked at ena as she chuckled a bit before shaking her head.
     "Out of all the restaurants...we walk into this one" ena said as she walked over to a table and sat down. They all joined her to sit as the young girl shyly walked over and set down menu's on the table.
     "Do you know eachother?" Said chishiya as he looked at the young girl.
     "I beat her ass in the game world for getting to close to my m-" ena stopped as she looked up at niragi then at the young girl. "Nevermind it's old times."
     The old girl looked at her confused as she pulled out a notebook and pen.
     "Did you guys become an official couple already?" She asked as she wrote down some orders from chishiya.
     Ena laughed as she looked at niragi.
     "No..." she looked at the young girl as she ordered food before looking back at her friends and crossing her arm.
     Niragi looked at ena as the girl walked away after receiving all their orders.
     "You fought her? For me?" He asked as ena looked at him. Ena leaned towards him as she smiled her evil smile.
     "Don't flater yourself, I fought her for my niragi...you're just my fiance's co-worker" she said as say back in her seat.
     Chishiya and kuina looked at eachother as they opened a bottle of alcohol and poured everyone a drink.
     "A toast, to being free, to love, and to kai." Said chishiya as he held up his glass.
     Ena raised her glass to clink with theirs as niragi noticed something that was odd to him.
     "You're wearing your wedding ring?" Said niragi as he took a sip of his drink.
     "What'd you expect me to do...throw them away?" Ena said as she sipped her drink and shook her head.
     "We shouldn't fight, we finally made it out so we should celebrate" said kuina as she pouted towards both of them.
     Ena looked at her as she relaxed a bit and softened her voice.
     "I'm sorry," she whispered as the girl brought over their food and refilled niragis glass before heading back.
     "Now you two need to talk this out right now before you rip our friend group apart" Said chishiya as they began to eat.
     "I have nothing to say to him, he made his choice so I'll make mine" she said as she bit into her sushi.
     "What choice I just decided not to spend my whole life waiting on you to come back to reality" Niragi said as he began to eat his ramen.
     "No you decided to lie to me....it hasn't been a year since you joined the game or since left. You've had a girlfriend since the beginning." She argued as she set down her chopsticks.
     "Look it's not what it looks like" niragi said as he sighed.
     "So you didn't play with my emotions  to your own benefit even though you already knew you had a girlfriend. You didn't lead me on KNOWING THAT WE COULDN'T BE ANYTHING!!" she yelled at him as the girl came again to refill niragis cup. "IF YOU DON'T STOP FILLING UP HIS CUP AS SOON AS HE DRINK I SWEAR ILL GIVE YOU ANOTHER BEATING"
     The girl stood there suprised for a moment as she ran back to the kitchen. Niragi looked at the young girl before looking back at ena who was currently standing with her first held tightly.
     "I'm not a toy, and I'm not a man stealer so I'm not going to keep you in my life. You know where to find me once you make your decision." She whispered as she set down some money and walked out of the restaurant into the rain. They all sat in silence as she walked away.
     "I forgot how complicated the real world is" kuina said as she bit into her pizza.
     Meanwhile ena walked down the street with her umbrella as she headed back in the direction of her home. Just thinking about niragi being near another girl made her sick. Maybe it was just niragi that made her feel sick.
     "This is so stupid, everything is so stupid" she thought as she continued to walk. "I had completely forgotten that by returning here I'd have to finally face the real world"
     As she was about to reach her front door she spotted a small figure standing at her door holding an umbrella. Arisu's car was already gone which meant it couldn't be usagi. As she approached them the sight of who it was made her stomach turn.
     "Who are you" said emiko as she stood at the entrance with her arms crossed.
     "I'm guessing you would have figured out my name by now" she said as she opened the door and walked in to set her umbrella down.
     "My boyfriend spent every night in the hospital with you while your where asleep. He said he was looking out for you because of his bestfriend friend but now that you're ok, he still follows you around like a puppy. TO make it better he just asked for us to break up." She started ranting as ena closed the door to the house.
     "It's not my fault your boyfriend is an over obsessed man with issues" said ena as she took off her shoes and jacket.
     Just as she turned to face emiko she was met by a punch to the face that pushed her into the door. Ena stood there in shock for a second as she suddenly lifted her leg and kicking emiko into the living room. Emiko groaned as ena walked up to her grabbed her by the hair before punching her in the face. She then threw her hands at ena face which cut her cheek. Ena then took her by her hair and dragged her by her hair towards the door.
     Once she opened the door and threw her out she was met by niragi, kuina, and chishiya standing on her front porch. Ena eyed down the girl on the floor as she looked up niragi .
     "Control your bitches" ena said as she slammed the door shut. She looked in the mirror as she felt the bruise on her face. It still felt like her face was burning from the hit. On the other side she saw as blood trickled down her cheek.
     Ena looked away as she walked over to her kitchen and grabbed a bottle of vodka from her cabinet. She took it and walked into her living room before slouching onto the couch and busting the bottle open.
     "Ena" niragi said as he approached her. She looked at him as she shut her eyes and sighed.
     "I forgot to lock my door." She whispered.
     "I'm sorry" he whispered back as he grabbed a first aid kit off the counter and walked over to her.
     "Just leave me be" she said as she suddenly opened her eyes to see him sitting next to her. She shook her head as she took a sip from the bottle
     "Let me take care of you" he replied as he opened the case and pulled out cotton balls and alcohol.
     "Whatever do as you please" she whispered as she took another sip and leaned her head back as he began to clean up her cut. She felt herself relax a bit as she slowly began to fall asleep.
