My Reckless Dragon... Slayer

I'm sorry, but... Goodbye

As I approach my apartment, only one thing is on my mind, am I in denial? Do I like him? Have I been pushing him away all this time? Is that what I've been doing this whole time? Do I not even understand how I feel?

I stop walking right as I'm about to walk up the stairs and shake my head. No. Millianna’s just playing her mind games on me again, I don't like Rogue and I never will. It’s just her damn games.

Without thinking, I thrust the door open and dart inside. As I slam the door shut behind me, my heart starts to beat rapidly as I remember a thought that seems to have slipped my mind; Rogue is staying with me.

How could I forget about that? He's in my house, right now, with Frosch. Wait, where is he?

I frown and look around. Everything looks alright, nothing's out of order. It seems like he's done a good job keeping things in order.

I walk around the house while taking careful note of everything.

“Rogue,” I call out as I walk to my room, “Are you here?”

No response.

“Rogue.” I call again.

Still no response. Where is he?

“Rogue?” I call out once more, “If you're hiding, come out.”

Still no response. Where the hell is he?

I sit on my bed and sigh, his hearing is exceptional, from what I've heard, so why hasn't he responded? Unless he's not here. But what reason could he have for leaving? It doesn't make any sense to me.

Just then, I hear the door click open making me jump to my feet and rush to the front door. I let out a small sigh when I see who it is.

“Rogue! What the hell?” I say angrily.

He looks at me confused, “What?”

I cross my arms, “I didn't know you went out. When you weren't here, I thought you were pulling a prank on me.”

He rolls his eyes, “So you were scared?”

I feel my face start to heat up, I hope he doesn't notice. Still, I wasn't scared more than I was suspicious. Yeah, that's it, suspicious. That's all it was. I even left work early to check up on him because I was suspicious, and a little concerned.

“No,” I say calmly, “No I was not scared. Besides, you didn't tell me where you were.”

“Some friends were in town and thought I would say hi. Why does it matter?”

I clench my fists, “Because I don't trust you, ok? I just don't trust you ok?”

Rogue sighs, “Right, of course you don't. I don't know why I find that surprising.”

No, no. I didn't mean to offend him. I really didn't. Why does everything I say to him always come out wrong?

I'm about to say something, when I notice something, Frosch isn't with him. How did I not notice that? Frosch is always with Rogue.

“Where's Frosch?” I ask in a concerned tone.

Rogue shrugs, “I-I don't know. Frosch was with me when I was meeting with Sting and Yukino, but I haven't seen Frosch since.”

Wait he was with Yukino? Why does that make me uncomfortable?

“Where were you when you saw her last?” I ask, trying to shake my uneasiness.

“Um… the beach I think.” He replies unsurely.

“You think or you know?” I snap in a tone that's a bit harder than I would have liked.

Rogue folds his arms, “You know, I'm getting tired of you being so bitchy Kagura.”

Don't respond. Don't respond.

“And I'm tired of you not listening to me!” I snap back.

Damn it!

“Well I guess neither of us are getting what we want.”

I growl, “If you just put aside your ego for one second, we wouldn't be here right now.”

“And if you weren't so controlling, we would be looking for Frosch!”

He's right. I am controlling. But I only do it to help people. But, that's no excuse, because now I've upset him.

I let out a sigh, “I apologise. I realize I can be controlling and rude. But we shouldn't be fighting like this, not while Frosch is out on her own.”

“Stop trying to be the bigger person Kagura. It's not working.” He says angrily.

“No Rogue, I'm serious, I really do want to find her.”

Rogue scoffs, “You know, I can't stay with someone like you Kagura.”

“Wait what? Rogue?”

Is he serious?

He turns away from me and starts to walk away, “Nice seeing you Kagura. Bye.”

I rush over to him before he leaves, “Wait, where are you going?”

He stops as his hand touches the doorknob, “To find Frosch.”

I stretch my arm out to try to catch his shirt, but fail, “Wait Rogue!”

But all I get, is a simple goodbye. With that, Rogue is out the door.

What should I do? Should I go after him? Should I look for Frosch? Should I stay here?

I contemplate my choices for about an hour, until a soft knock on the door makes me jump out of my skin.

Without thinking, I jump to my feet and run to the front door, hoping it's Rogue, but to my disappointment, it's not. It's Frosch. I mean, I'm happy she's here, but I was hoping I'd get the chance to apologise properly.

“Oh, it's you,” I say calmly.

Frosch simply smiles making a slight smile spread across my lips.

I gesture for her to come in, but she just stands there. Her round eyes begin to tear up and her smile starts to waver. Seeing this makes my heart shatter.

I crouch down so I'm at her level, “Whats wrong? Did something happen?”

She nods and tries to force a smile, “Did you and Rogue fight?”

I gasp and cover my mouth with my hand. Where did she hear this? Did she over hear us arguing?

“I heard Rogue say how much he hated you. He said he doesn't want to be near you.” She explains tearfully.

I let out a long sigh before answering, “Yes. Yes Rogue and I did have a fight, but why aren't you with him?”

She steps inside, “I'm afraid, he'll get mad at me.”

Tears start to flow from her eyes and down her face, she's really upset. Rouge could never be mad at her. Rogue loves her, he could never get mad her.

“Rogue could never get mad at you Frosch, he loves you.” I say calmly.

This seems to reassure her.

A stronger smile spreads across her face, “You think so?”

I nod.

“Fro thinks so too.”
