Here's the next update! The comments are at the end!
HERE GOES~!
AHAHAHA!!!! I TROLLED YOU! THERE'S NO UPDATE!
BUT DON'T JUST CLOSE THE WINDOW YET! I STILL NEED SOME OF YOUR REPLIES.
Actually, my plan worked for making myself guilty after opening this thread. Right now, I want to rewrite and edit some parts of my R.A.Y fic, since after I reread it.... I find it a bit disappointing. My plan for that said fic, is to reedit it, to make it longer and sadder and write it onto a new post. So this thread is going to have two posts of each chapter of that fic until chapter four since chapter five has still yet to be posted.
I want to ask you guys whether you want me to post a re-edited version of R.A.Y or just re-edit it though I think that the new re-edited version will be better
I'm really sorry for trolling on you guys ( :lol:). For my Oh My Dolly! fic, or O.M.D for short, I will update it as soon as you guys have given me your answers for R.A.Y and I managed to post the edited one, or the new edited version (I'm confused. They sound the same, that's why. :lol:) There's still no news for AKB48 Fansabisu No Sho, so yeah. :sweatdrop:

Yes. *nods* Yuko-san has a fiance. Even I was surprised with what I've written. It was supposed to be a boyfriend at first, but then "Fiance would make it much more dramatic" was what I thought. And look! It did became dramatic! YAY~! As for the person's identity....it shall be kept as a secret for now.... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: It can be a girl since I didn't say it was a boy OR a boy since I never said it was a girl either :P And will you burn him/her if she/he was possibly one of the AKB48 members?

@bochang: Well, Haejin-oppa. You can't be sure just yet that the right one is actually Haruna's. I mean, there might be some twist? I dunno? :hiakhiakhiak:
But then, you might be right OR wrong. Though... :sweat: I think that you already know which was is true. Ahahahaha
@YuuMitsuaki: Well, Yuko may have suffered some brain damage? Perhaps that's the reason for the difference, and the misleading POV. hahaha
And I will! Thank you :hee:
@smarty0821: Aha! That will be revealed...pretty soon! :sneaky: You'll just have to wait and see, coz I'm planning to drop in some hints from time to time. :hiakhiakhiak: And I'll try to give them to you. I'm so sorry that I'm updating so slowly. I'll try to make it up to you...somehow?
@Haruhi16: Your guesses are pretty my right on. :on GJ: And that may sound selfish, but Haruna really deserved to be forgotten you know. =3=
@Ohayou Well... I'm contemplating about that. :bigdeal:
@Haruko: :glasses: And that person is...?

Chapter Eight
"Well, here's your office." The tall brunette said with a smile, placing both of her hands on her hips as she gave the room a good look.
The walls were in the color of light pink, with mixtures of different light colors that made everything seem so lively and fitting for a girl like Yuko. It was a good thing that she decided to use the colors she preferred on the room, instead of using dark colors like what Tomochin wanted.
"It's great." The other girl in the room said with a huge smile, taking in every simple detail her eyes could remember.
Though it had no fancy designs like what top fashion companies had, the simplicity of the environment brought a huge smile to the brown-haired girl. She always wanted a room designed simply, and yet comfortable to the eyes in a way that it shows how fashionable and creative the company she was working for.
Taking several steps from the middle of the room the table located by a huge windown, Yuko started running her fingers along the edges of the well-made stationary with her eyes closed, enjoying the smooth surface her hands were feeling.
All of a sudden, her actions were stopped with a halt the moment her hands caused something made out of glass to fall onto the carpeted floor with a thud. Opening her eyes, she saw an empty picture frame lying by her feet.
Bending down, she took it in her hands and stared at it for some time. The tall brunette merely watched her from across the room, wondering the sudden halt in the girl's excited actions. Her eyes found themselves staring at the picture frame, making a brow rise up from her smooth face.
"Haruna," Yuko suddenly spoke, looking at the said brunette without an emotionless expression on her face.
When the said girl looked straight at her in the eyes, she tilted her head to the side and gave a small smile as she asked, "Did you know that putting a picture frame of your loved one on top of your desk will bring bad luck?"
The short girl's question out of the blue caused Haruna to furrow her eyebrows together, as well as tilt her head to the side like what Yuko had done not so long ago. She started searching through her mind for any smart answer to give to the girl, only to find herself frowinng in discontent when nothing came to mind.
Pouting, Haruna then shook her head in manner that would have normally made the past Yuko squeal about how cute she looked like, if it wasn't for the fact that she had no memories of the past between the two of them.
The one who asked the question let out a small laugh, before tracing the designs on the frame with her index finger.
"Why do you say so?" Haruna asked the girl with a curious glance, tilting her head to the left side this time.
Yuko looked up and tapped her chin, letting out a small hum before replying. "They said that the relationship won't go well."
"I don't get it."
Haruna gave her a pout while at the same time, having a confused expression written all over her face, making the short girl smile gently at her before starting the explanation for the question she knew the answer to.
"Hmm..." she started, tapping her chin as she continued on. "They said that seeing the person you loved all the time at work would just bring pain."
"A-ah...I-is that so?" Haruna asked, suddenly feeling uncomfortable with the bringing up of the word 'pain' in their conversation.
It was because the moment the word pain entered her cat-like ears, memories of the past that she has yet to forget started flashing right before her eyes like a film set on replay. It caused her eyes to widen as the guilt that she has been unable to remove from her chest, to come back in haunting her with an even more painful throb.
Staring straight into the girl's eyes was not helping as well, since the look Yuko had at the moment was suddenly mixed with the different expressions that haunted Haruna's dreams every night. It was not a pleasant sight to see, though it was caused by nothing but the tall brunette's own imagination.
Feeling the pain and guilt ten times more painful, she tore her eyes away from the girl and focused her sight on something else that might help in numbing the throbbing pain deep inside of her. Unfortunately for her, her eyes decided to troll her by making her find herself staring once more at the girl.
With a pained expression written all over her face, the brunette watched Yuko place the frame back onto the surface of the table gently before sitting down on the office chair, and turning herself around like a child who has found a new toy to play with.
The sight of Yuko being childish in front of her, reminded Haruna once more of the past when the shorter girl used to act that way most of the time. It reminded her of those times that came before she shattered Yuko's heart into millions of pieces, bringing a smile to form on her lips.
"Wow." Yuko suddenly stopped the turning of the chair and stared at the transparent window, enjoying the view that she was able to take in with her eyes.
The sky was slowly starting to turn dim. The clouds that were in colors of grey and black hinted the coming of a heavy downpour, bringing the thought of getting cramps in the middle of the night to Yuko's head.
The thought of waking up with a painful cramp caused the brown-haired to wince, and that wasn't left unnoticed by Haruna, who was staring at her intently without intention. Somehow misunderstanding the wincing made by Yuko by thinking that it had something to do with her, she then focused her eyes on the picture frame before taking a few steps to her it into her own pair of hands.
"Is that the reason why our relationship ended horribly?" Haruna unconsciously mumbled, the moment she held it in her hands.
Yuko hummed in question, yet never turning the chair around to face the taller girl. "Hmm?"
Though her mumbling was soft, it managed to catch the attention of the shorter girl, who then decided to stop staring at the window and turned to face her. Just then, seeing the taller girl in front of her brought the reminder of how Haruna was her boss.
Feeling slightly guilty for not giving the respect Haruna should have received from her, Yuko immediately sat up and motioned at the couch for the girl to sit on. The brunette, however, remained her focus on the frame.
Yuko tilted her head to the side, tucking a strand of hair as well whilst she watch the taller girl with a curious look on her face. "Is she thinking about something?"
Her boss seemed to be so engrossed in staring at the frame, making Yuko feel like the girl's eyes would somehow manage to bore a hole right through it. Without a word, she stood up and went to Haruna's side.
"Haruna-san?" Yuko lifted her arm to tap the girl gently on the shoulder, only to end up stopping when she felt something jelly-like fall from her neck and onto her upper back.
Looking up, she tried to search for any hole that might have had some sort of jelly substance dropping from it, only to find a well-made ceiling. She shrugged and then concluded that it must have been her imagination, before lifting her hand to the back of her neck to give it a little scratch as it suddenly felt itchy.
Blob.
A squishy sensation was felt by the short girl, making her furrow her eyebrows together as she started pressing and squeezing the slimy thing at the back of her neck. It was sticking to the fingers she was using, making her give it a slight pull as the curiousity of finding out what it was, came over her.
"What in the world..."
Her eyes widened in shock and horror, the moment she pulled the slimy thing from the back of her neck and raised it in her line of sight. A squishy line of redish substance was stuck to her thumb and index finger, making Yuko wonder why something like that was sticking at the back of her neck.
"Don't tell me..." she muttered, before letting her left hand find the spot where the redish substance was found.
Feeling through the small hair from the back of her head, she started panicking. This has never happened to her before, but seeing it from several TV series and medical shows made her wonder if it was actually occuring.
Squish...
She gulped, stopping the search the moment her fingers found themselves on the same spot where the scar could be found. Biting her lower lip, she ignored the slight stinging sensation that she was feeling from the touch and immediately placed both of her arms down before turning her look on the tall brunette, who was still pretty much engrossed in staring at the frame.
She needs to go to the bathroom and check whether what she suspected was true; if the scar has opened up. Quickly tapping the taller girl on the shoulder, she cleared her throat and formed a smile.
"Haruna-san?" she asked, making the said girl look up from the frame and turn her gaze to her.
"Hmm?"
"Thank you for showing me the way to my office." she said with a smile, trying hard to mask the anxiety she has at the moment.
Adding up, she said. "Haruna-san is the CEO of this company, so she probably has lots of works to do."
"That's why I think that Haruna-san should go back to her office and let me do everything on my own."
The brunette looked at her with a blank expression, debating with herself internally on whether she should stay for a little while longer to make sure that Yuko would be able to adjust herself in the new surroundings, or leave as what the girl had requested of her to do.
Sensing that the girl was having a hard time in choosing, Yuko took the initiative and started to push Haruna towards the door gently. "You probably have to do lots of paperwork, Haruna-san."
"B-but..." the taller girl pushed her hands against the edges of the now-opened door, looking at Yuko with concern. "I can do that later-"
"I insist, Haruna-san!" the shorter girl shouted, forcing herself to continue on wearing the smile until she had managed to get rid of her boss.
The taller girl just looked at her in surprise, blinking her eyes several times as the voice that Yuko used on her remained ringing in her ears. Seeing how the shorter girl's smile seems to be faltering, Haruna heaved a sigh and allowed herself to be pushed out of the room.
She then turned to Yuko and held a hand against the door to prevent it from closing, and spoke. "Just press the button on the phone if you need any assitance from me."
"I'll promise you that you won't hear any call from me, Haruna-san." Yuko said to her, gritting her teeth as her head started to feel like something was hammering on it.
She was about to close the door on Haruna, but the taller girl stopped it again and gave her a smile. "It's fine to bother me from time to time, Yuko."
"Really, Haruna-san." the shorter girl said through clenched teeth, still trying hard to keep her smile. "You need to go and start on your papers."
"But-"
"Oops," Yuko said, pointing at her watch. "Looks like break has ended!"
And with that, she slammed the door shut, leaving Haruna staring at it with a sad expression on her face. With a heavy sigh, she walked away and went to her own office, which was located on the far end of the hallway.
Unbeknowst to her, Yuko was leaning against the door with ragged breaths. She winced in as she tried to lift her head, feeling the painful sting. She started taking quick, shallow breaths to maintain her breath intake, making her way as slow as possible to her table.
Once she was sitting down on the chair, she took out a bottle of pills prescribed for her to drink by Mayuyu. Gulping it down along with some water, she then laid her head on top of the cold surface of the table, closing her eyes for a while, hoping that by the time she opened them once more, the pain has resided.
The short girl stayed in that position for quite some time, until the stinging ache that has spreaded a while ago, has finally ceased to exist. Feeling better and refreshed, she stood up and stretched herself, remembering the advice given to her by her American doctor.
Once she had finished doing so, she went back to her chair and started on the work given to her. She began to read slowly and thoroughly along the files that was stacked on her table, allowing her brain to remember every single detail needed for her to make an editorial report and such.
~^o^~^o^~^o^~
"Ahhh..." she stretched her entire body, spreading her entire body on the surface of her table.
Several hours had passed since she first started working at Haruna's company, and let's just say that it was a bit easier than her previous job at New York. The only thing that made it hard and difficult was the details and information, along with the different articles that she has to cover.
Leaning back against her chair, she started to massage her temples. She had turned her chair to face the scenery outside her windows, allowing the beaiutiful lights of Tokyo to captivate and mesmerize her.
"Yuuchan?" a knock came on the door, followed by the sighting of Oshima Yuko's previous model, Kasai Tomomi.
Turning her chair, Yuko smiled. "What's up, Chiyuu?"
"It's time to go home." the long brunette said with a smile in return, pointing at the watch on her wrist. "Wanna grab some dinner?"
"Dinner sounds great." Yuko told her, standing up as she began to clear up her messy desk. "Just let me fix this."
Quickly classifying the files from her notes and edited reports, she placed them neatly inside the drawers of her table. She took her coat from the coat hanger and slung her designer's bag on her shoulder, before following her good friend to the hallways.
"So, how was your first day of work?" Tomo~mi asked, taking glances at Yuko every now and then as they made their way to the elavator.
Entering the the said elavator, Yuko sighed wearily. "Quite tiring."
"Well, make sure not to stress yourself out." Tomo~mi laughed.
Yuko let out a chuckle and crossed her arms. "What about you?"
"Oh, just did some modelling thing." Tomo~mi told her, giving a dismissive wave of the hand as she exited out of the elavator the moment it had reached their desired floor. "The usual."
"That sounds...equally tiring." Yuko laughed,
"By the way, Chiyuu." Yuko said, catching the said girl's attention as they both entered the car.
"Hmm?"
"Do you still have that specialist's number?" Yuko asked as she started the engine of her car.
"I still do." Tomo~mi replied, before tilting her head to the side as she looked at Yuko with a curious expression on her face. "Why?"
"Can you give it to me?" the short girl asked as she made a turn with the wheel to drive them out of the building. "I have a friend asking for some help."
"She has this condition wherein she would have memories of the past appearing in her dreams; memories that she has no recollection of." Yuko said with a nonchalant shrug of the shoulders, not wanting to let the younger girl get a whiff that it was herself she was actually referring to.
"She told me that she would also have blood trickling down from the scar every now and then." Yuko added, trying to maintain her composure as the guilt in lying grew. "And it's really worrying her."
"And I presume that you suggested your doctor?" Tomo~mi asked.
Yuko only nodded, glad and relieved that the younger girl had no knowledge over the fact that she wasn't informed that she has ever gone to a specialist like that. The doctor that the two of them were referring to was a person who specializes in medicine and anything that was connected to the brain.
Since Sayaka told her that she was well enough to stop seeing the specialist that Yuko has no memory of, the short girl decided that the best way to get herself checked-up and possibly treated, was to find the person who saved her from near-death.
"Yeah, I did." she nodded.
Tomo~mi gave a curt nod and took out her phone, making Yuko smile to herself as she tried to calm her fast-beating heart from giving her a possibility of a heart attack with the way it was pumping so quickly.
"Here." Tomo~mi sent a message containing all of the doctor's information, including the address of the building.
Yuko gave a word of thanks as she felt her phone vibrate almost instantly. The younger girl beside her only smiled, and the two started another coversation that did not contain anything related to the possibility of someone dying, lightening up the atmosphere inside the car as they drove to their favourite restaurant.
~^o^~^o^~^o^~
"So, have you heard that Miichan and Shinoda-san fought?" Tomo~mi asked as she ate a spoonful of Okonomiyaki.
Raising a brow as she ate one, she shook her head. "No."
"Well, it seems that Mariko has this new editor." Tomo~mi said as she chewed her food. "And you know just how Michan easily gets jealous right?"
"Uh huh, go on."
"It seems that Miichan apparently tried to humiliate the new guy by making him turn out as a pervert in front of everyone." Tomo~mi let out a chuckle. "She even tried to make him quit the company by pretending to be the CEO."
"Miichan needs to seriously stop getting so jealous over Mariko's co-workers." Yuko sighed, shaking her head as she wiped away the oil from her lips.
Tomo~mi nodded in agreement. "Yeah, and I heard that the guy she tried to humiliate was a big-shot from the US."
"I also heard that Shinoda-san actually had to sacrifice several projects just to get him for the company."
"So, what happened?" Yuko asked as the two of them handed the bill over to the waiter. "I bet that Mariko's fuming mad."
"Oh, she's wasn't just mad." Tomo~mi said to her. "She broke up with Miichan."
"No way."
"She did!" Tomo~mi cried. "Shinoda-san even slapped her after finding out that Miichan tried to punch the poor guy!"
"Maybe the new guy was hitting on Mariko? She could have just done that because he was being rude you know." Yuko defended, not wanting to allow her friend be labelled as a jealous girlfriend so easily. "Miichan must surely have felt that he was trying to hit on Mariko."
"She would never punch a guy just like that." Yuko added.
Tomo~mi raised a brow at the confident statement given to her by the older girl. "Have you actually heard what happened the last time a male editor came to work for Shinoda-san?"
Yuko shook her head. "No."
"Miichan reported him to the police, saying that he was rapist." the bruneete informed, taking a sip from her iced tea before carrying on. "She even had his house set on fire."
"Those are probably rumors." Yuko said with a dismissive wave, unable to believe that such a lovable girl such as Miichan could do such a thing. "She wouldn't have gone off that far."
Tomo~mi shook her head and sighed. "That's just the thing, Yuuchan."
"She actually set his whole apartment on fire."
Yuko frowned at her. "Where did you hear all of these nonsense?"
"From Tomochin."
"As in Itano Tomomi, the Fashion Designer?" Yuko asked.
The younger girl nodded her head, standing up along with Yuko after receiving the receipt from the waiter. The two girls started heading towards Yuko's car, which was fortunately parked right on front of the carpark, continuing on with their conversation.
♥ Suika BABY ~ ♥
♥ Sekai de ichiban suki da yo ~ ♥
♥ Mizumizushii sono egao ga suki da ~ ♥
♥ Suika BABY ~ ♥
♥ Mabushii taiyou no shita de ~ ♥
♥ Kagayaita kimi wa manatsu no MADONNA ~ ♥
Yuko's phone suddenly rang, making the two stop talking as the short girl tried to take the call that interrupted them. Flipping her phone open, Yuko unlocked the doors of her car, allowing her and Tomo~mi to enter it.
However, she was momentarily stopped the moment the person's words from the other end of the line, processed inside of her mind. "What?"
"What do you mean?!" Yuko suddenly cried, making Tomo~mi turn and look at her curiously as the panic on the older girl's tone was not left unnoticed. "Where did she go?!"
Tomo~mi could only stare at the older girl as she muttered a curse under her breath, looking stressed and frantic as the seconds passed whilst she speak with whoever it was on the other end of the line. A few seconds later, the short girl flipped her phone close and entered the car quickly.
"What happened?" Tomo~mi asked as she closed the passenger's door.
Yuko ignited the engine, answering her once she started to drive out of the place quickly. "Miichan's missing."
"And Sayaka says that she just might do something really stupid."
To Be Continued...
A/N: Well, it seems that I might start the other SoUL series, since I've already done this part and I'm starting to lose some inspiration due to enormous amount of school work.
Besides that, I would like to apologize to the Anon who requested for the RenAirin OS. That one might take a few more days (maybe weeks) since my entire year is going to do this stage play. I'll try to update that part as soon as possible, so please look forward to it though.
