Kusumi Koharu
"You're... kidding me..."
*Was all Kusumi could say, feeling her legs tremble. Graduation? Her leader, her lover? Tsunku shouldn't do that!*.
"I can't believe it, Yocchan... This is a joke, right? I know you're just trying to get people to believe it so we can all laugh about it later!"
*The miracle said with a fake smile, pointing towards Yoshizawa. The other girl wasn't smiling, neither was that a joking face. Koharu didn't have words for that moment, especially because she hated the fact that Tsunku always made sure to ruin things when everything was starting to settle down*.
"I can't believe him..."
*Feeling tears ready to fall, the smaller girl didn't think anymore and simply hugged tight her love, letting it all flow down. What if it really were a graduation from Hello! Project? From Morning Musume wasn't a good idea at all, either. But the first was so much worse... she would get separated from her and that hurted even more. Shaking her head, Kusumi whispered*.
"If he dares to graduate you from H!P, I quit by myself. I won't stay alone here!"
*She was sure of what to do, and she did intend to talk later to Tsunku about that... or at least try to find him somewhere. It was indeed a shock, seeing such a great person leave the group. They wouldn't have as much of time they used to have together*.
"Nee, Yocchan... Promise me, even after your grad, which won't be from H!P, you'll still stay with me? That you'll still spend time with time and I'll have the chance to cheer you from now on?"
