I'M BACK~~~~ :cow: :otomerika: :yossi:
Anybody miss me? XD
I actually kinda missed all of you guys, and the habit of checking for comments every morning... :P
So I'm back with my second fic, Chigatte mo Iin da yo! = It's Okay to be Different!
Just like I've promised, TanaKame is the main along with TakaGaki and ShigeJun on the side. :)
I threw in ShigeJun again, because I came to like the couple as I was writing Kokoro no Uta XD
So i'm trying something new with the plot this time...
...It's a Gender-Bender.
I thought it was kinda risky at first, but hopefully, the story is still good enough to keep you guys hooked :nervous
Summary
When Eri coincidentally meets Tanaka Reina of the prestigious all-girls school Haro Gakuen, she is immediately mistaken as a boy because of her short haircut and her plain attire. But instead of correcting Reina, Eri decides to let her believe that she is a guy whose mother is from America. Her friend Risa doesn’t want to get involved in the situation, for she is preoccupied with her own heartache for the new history teacher, but she gets mixed up in it anyway. When the secrets start piling up along with various pasts, both tragedy and comedy ensues.
Doesn't give you too much, right? :lol:
But just like before, I also made a trailer! (with real subtitles)! :D
[Trailer] [Trailer] Chigatte mo Iin da yo! (Arc 1) ~Morning Musume Fanfiction~ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc62u5PsWXU)
So yeah, if you're interested, stay with me!!! :twothumbs
btw, can anybody tell me how I can show a picture as part of my post? I wanna do Character Files but I dunno how to put the image from My Documents in... :sweatdrop:
-
Yay~I am the first to comment. I'm really looking forward to this new story, and great trailer btw. I really like the usage of subtitles and stuffs. The summary doesn't give much of a clue, but the gender-bender part caught my attention. Thanks for the quick update. Gambatte!! :D
Btw, I am unsure how to upload pictures either. However, there is a button that allows you to insert an image. You simply have to go to a free online site (such as photobucket) and upload your image there first. Then, you'll obviously get a link. So, you do the normal procedure but pasting that link in between the [img] tags.
-
I feel a Coffee Prince-esque comedy/drama/romance coming up :D (I wasn't a big Coffee Prince fan, but I can make it work for TanaKame~)
Ai as a history teacher!! You know, I have a soft spot for student-teacher romances in fan fics :lol:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 1
“I still don’t understand why you kept insisting on having your own place,” Risa grumbled as she rocked back and forth on the couch. “You could’ve moved in with us; it would’ve saved you all this trouble.”
“Thanks, Risa-chan, but no thanks,” Eri grinned as she busily moved around the house. “I can’t do that to your mom; she’s already got a handful raising you.”
“Hey, I don’t want to hear that from you,” the bean frowned. “You’re the one that made your parents cry when you said you won’t go back to Yokohama with them.”
“That’s only because my parents are so overly dramatic,” the turtle shot back, rolling her eyes.
Eri sighed as she started to remember the happening from a couple weeks ago, when her parents grabbed each of her arm and pleaded with her to move to Yokohama with them. The daughter had refused over and over again, saying that she didn’t want to leave her friends and school behind. She loved Tokyo, and there was absolutely no reason for her to want to move.
In the end, Eri’s parents decided that she could stay in Tokyo by herself in an apartment home in the same building as her family friend, Risa. The fact that Risa’s mother was very caring and together, despite being a widow, calmed the turtle parents down a little. After all, Mama Gaki was way more mature than Mama or Papa Kame.
Risa had insisted that her friend move in with her two-person family but Eri had refused. There was nothing wrong with the Niigakis; Risa’s mom was one of the nicest people the turtle had ever met. But that made her feel even sorrier every time Mama Gaki did something kind for her. She didn’t want to burden the generous woman in any way.
“Okay, I think everything is basically set up…” Eri said, looking around the living room. She ran her fingers through her short hair as she started to skim through a list in her head. “My bedroom is all set up and the bathroom is good too…”
“How about the kitchen?” Risa reminded.
“Yeah, everything’s in place,” the turtle answered, tapping her chin. “I guess I just need to get a couple things to fill the fridge. I’m going to run down to the convenience store real quick.”
“You can have dinner at my house,” Risa offered. “If you buy the ingredients and come back to cook, you’re going to end up having dinner at bed time.”
“I think I’ll take up on the dinner offer then,” Eri laughed. “But I still have to fill the fridge for breakfast, so I’m going to go buy some stuff anyway. I’ll meet you back at your house.”
“Sounds good,” Risa smiled, jumping off the couch. She walked out of the apartment as her friend followed behind her. Eri locked up her house and pressed the elevator button. Risa eyed her friend’s attire. “You’re just going to go like that?”
“Huh?” Eri looked down at herself; she was wearing a black t-shirt with sweatpants and sneakers. She shrugged. “Why not? It’s just the convenience store.”
“Kameha, you have such a pretty face,” Risa sighed, shaking her head. “Sometimes, I wish you would dress up a little more instead of wearing clothes that make you look like a guy. You know, you nearly gave me a heart attack when you showed up at school one day with that haircut.”
“Not as much as you scared me when you cut your hair on the same day!” Eri grinned. “Everybody made fun of us, remember? We really are like twins separated at birth…”
“But the difference is that I plan to grow out my hair while you plan to keep it that way,” Risa sighed. “I liked your long hair more, Eri.”
“Thanks for judging me based on the length of my hair, Risa-chan,” Eri said, rolling her eyes.
The elevator dinged, indicating that they had reached the bottom floor. Risa walked up to one of the two doors and opened it.
“I’ll see you in a couple minutes!” she smiled before closing the door behind her.
Eri continued to walk out of the building into the warm, spring air. The sun was starting to set as the turtle skittered through the parking lot, out of the apartment complex. The streets weren’t as crowded as usual, since it was a Sunday and everybody was home for family time. Eri finally reached the convenience store; she grabbed a shopping basket from the door and walked in.
After about 20 minutes, the turtle finally gathered everything she needed, including cereal, juice, milk, eggs, and other typical food assortments.
She hauled the basket over to the cash register and stood at the end of the line, which wasn’t really a line since there was only one other person in front of her who was being checked out at the moment. Eri struggled to place the basket on the register, accidently bumping into the person in front of her in the process. She started to apologize, as the girl in front of her turned around. Eri gasped softly as her words got choked back; her eyes grew wide in awe.
In front of her was one of the cutest girls she had ever seen. The girl had straight, light brown hair, almost orange, that traveled down to her chest. Her eyes were honey brown that glistened in the light. She was wearing a pink dress and black stockings that went above her knees. She looked intimidating in a way, because of her cat-like eyes, but her petit figure begged to differ. She smiled as she narrowed her eyes a little.
“You’re supposed to say sorry, pretty boy,” she said.
“Huh… Oh! Sorry! I, um… it’s, ah… it’s my fault,” Eri stammered.
“Apology accepted,” the girl chuckled as she turned back to the cash register.
Eri’s eyes stayed wide open as she breathed in and out to calm herself. She stared at the back of the girl’s head, trying to imagine the beautiful face she had just seen. And her cute voice that called her…
Wait. Did she just call her “pretty boy”?
“Next costumer!”
Eri jumped out of her trance as she quickly moved forward to the counter. The convenience store worker quickly checked out everything in the basket. The petit girl from before was standing at the edge of the counter, double-bagging her things so the plastic wouldn’t fall through. Eri kept on glancing at her, even while taking out her wallet, for she was unable to take her eyes off of this cute girl.
“That’ll be 1700 yen,” the store worker said, making the turtle jump back into reality again.
Eri started to dig through her wallet and unearthed all the money she had inside; she hadn’t brought much. The store clerk counted up the money and sighed.
“You’re short 200 yen,” she informed.
“Really?” Eri gasped. “Um… Just… just wait a moment…”
She started to dig through her wallet again and checked all her coins. Why didn’t she think of refilling her wallet before she left home? After all, her worrisome parents had left quite a number of yen behind for her.
As Eri continued to bit her lips in frustration, the cat-like girl from before stared at her intently. Her lips curved into a small smile, entertained by how unorganized and air-headed this person was. She opened her own wallet and took out the amount of money the turtle was missing. She handed it to the store clerk.
“Here,” she smiled, “this should make up for his shortage.”
“No, it’s fine!” Eri quickly said, shaking her head. “I can just not buy something; you don’t need to pay for me!”
“It’s fine,” she reassured. “It’s just 200 yen.”
Before Eri could protest more, the girl grabbed a hold of her bags and walked out of the store. Eri quickly got the receipt from the clerk, grabbed her own bags, and ran out after her.
“Wait!” the turtle yelled out, causing the petit girl to turn around. “How can I… How can I repay you?”
“You don’t need to pay me back,” the girl grinned. “Since you’re kind of cute, I’ll let it go this time.”
“But we’re strangers,” Eri huffed, stopping the girl from leaving. “It would be rude of me to just take your money like that—”
“Do you live near here?”
“Huh?” Eri raised an eyebrow in confusion at the girl’s sudden question. “Um… yeah…”
“Then here’s what you can do,” the girl smiled. “If you’re so desperate to pay me back, keep some money on you next time and if we see each other, you can repay me. Deal?”
“Does that mean you live near here too?” Eri asked, smiling. “Maybe I can—”
“Not a good way to get a girl’s address, pretty boy,” the girl interrupted again, smirking. “But you’re cute, so I’ll forgive you. See you.”
She gave a wink before turning around and walking away. Eri stared at the beautiful girl, still in her own little world. Her face, her scent, and everything about her seemed to still waft in the air. And her voice that had called her...
Wait. Did she just call her “pretty boy” again?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Interesting yet? XD

Oooooooooooooo!
A promising new premise!
'Pretty boy' Kame and cute, yankii Reina. I like. :drool:
I'm also VERY MUCH looking forward to Takahashi sensei :bow: and Gaki's infatuation of her.... and how are you going to fit the other girls into the story too? It should be interesting.. and dramatic as last time :lol:
Thanks for making the trailer too - they're pretty awesome, and the way you handle all the clips and subtitles is very neat :thumbsup
The character profiling you should have done for Kokoro no uta too, clever idea!
As for this first chapter - why am I not surprised that you made GakiKame good friends again :lol:
I'll demand a GakiKame fic from you one day!!!!
Eri's first meeting with Reina = :shocked:
:rofl: at Reina mistaking our turtle for a 'pretty boy'... lol, Eri's voice should be a pretty dead giveaway, no? So girly :wub:
But very interesting start so far. Does Reina really live around there? Or was she just trying to get Eri off her case? Can't wait to find out how the relationships are going to develop! :heart:
200 YEN, the start of it all!
:bow: :bow: :bow:
Thanks for creating this new story for us all to religiously follow!
Looking forward to the next update!
:love:

Kame as Pretty boy and reina as beautiful girl :ding:
okay i definitely like your story :glasses:
but does kame have a husky voice or what? :mon huh:
*wait for nxt chap* :hee:
-
Looks like the turtle is lovestruck at their first meeting :inlove: Maybe that's why she decides to play along and let Reina think she is a boy? Because she's (already) falling for the kitty, that if she founds out that Eri is actually a girl she's not sure how Reina would react? I thought that maybe Reina was really mean to Eri at their first meeting that Eri decided to play a joke on the kitty for revenge or something :nervous
Count me in for looking forward to Takahashi-sensei. Of the current Musumes, I can't think of anyone who would fit the role of a career woman better than Ai-chan. Must be the way she looks so fine in a suit :drool:
EDIT: (Wait, so you are Korean??)
-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 2
“So let me get this straight,” Risa said, narrowing her eyes. “You meet this girl and you don’t know who she is, where she’s from, how old she is, why she gave you her money, but…”
“She’s attractive,” Eri sighed. “That might be too weak of a word, though.”
Risa rolled her eyes as she crossed her legs and leaned in a little closer to her friend, who was sitting next to her. The room was quite loud with all the chatting before class, along with idiotic guys trying to look cool by doing soccer ball tricks. Eri had been telling her friend about the mysterious girl she had met the evening before. Although she had described her with the most elaborate words possible, Risa wasn’t convinced.
“Kameha, you just met her,” she said, narrowing her eyes. “And from what you told me, it seems like she thinks you’re a boy.”
“Yeah…”
“And she flirted with you, while thinking you’re a boy.”
“It wasn’t exactly flirting…”
“She called you, ‘pretty boy’ and winked at you,” Risa rolled her eyes. “That counts as flirting.”
“Your point?” Eri grumbled.
“Kameha, she obviously likes guys, not girls,” Risa explained. “And you don’t know anything about her while she knows nothing about you, including your gender and your preferences for dating. And you just met her; why are you so dazed about her?”
“Because she was gorgeous!” Eri whispered, as a big smile appeared on her face. “The moment her eyes met mine, something sparked! I… I think I like her.”
“But you don’t know who she is!” Risa growled back, thinking how ridiculous her friend was being.
“I don’t… yet,” the turtle mumbled. “I’m telling you, there’s something about her. If I’m right, I’m sure we’re going to meet again. It’s like fate—”
“I’m not even going to bother with this anymore,” the bean sighed, turning back to face the front of the classroom. “You’re helpless. Do whatever you want.”
“Thanks for the support, Risa-chan,” Eri grinned.
As the turtle turned to the front of the room, the door slid open and the principal of Haro Kotogakko walked in. He positioned himself in the middle of the room behind the podium and cleared his throat. All the 2nd year students in the room skittered back to their own seats and stopped talking.
“Good morning, students,” the principal greeted. “I’m sure you are all aware that your homeroom and history teacher, Iida-sensei, retired last semester to focus on her family life. So starting this semester, you will be in the care of a new homeroom teacher. I trust that you will all show her the same respect that you showed Iida-sensei.”
“Hai!” the students answered in unison.
“Then without further ado,” the principal continued, “I would like to introduce your new history teacher. Come on in, sensei.”
The classroom door opened once more as a pair of black heels stepped in. All the students focused on the young woman who was now at the front of the room. She had curly brown hair that was clipped back to keep out of her face. She was wearing a black suit jacket with a matching skirt and a white collar shirt underneath. Her smile was gentle as she scanned the room full of teenagers that she was now in charge of. A quiet whistle came from one of the boys as a wave of whispers washed over the room. Eri turned to her friend and also spoke in a low voice.
“She’s really pretty, isn’t she?” she said.
“She seems too young to be a teacher,” Risa answered back, frowning.
Eri just rolled her eyes at the sign of dissatisfaction from the bean. Since Risa was an ideal honor student, she always looked for perfection. It was one of her best qualities, yet her worst.
“My name is Takahashi Ai,” the brown-haired teacher said in a friendly tone. “Starting today, I will be your new homeroom teacher as well as being in charge of your history class. I hope to get to know all of you individually as time passes. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.”
“Onegaishiamsu!” the class chanted in unison.
“There’s still a couple minutes left of homeroom,” the principal said, checking the clock. “So I’ll leave these kids in your care, Takahashi-sensei.”
“Arigatou gozaimasu, Kouchou-sensei,” the young teacher thanked.
As the principal walked out of the room and closed the door behind him, silence filled the room again. The new teacher walked around to the front of the podium and leaned on it. She gave a friendly smile to the class; the students couldn’t help but smile a little back.
“Since we’re going to be together for the rest of the school year,” she started, “I think it’s important that we all get to know each other. It’ll take me a long time to get to know all of you, so let’s start with all of you getting to know me first. So if any of you have questions for me, please ask them.”
Silence continued on for a couple seconds. Then, all at the same time, a series of questions started to shoot out from different parts of the room. This teacher was pretty and she seemed nice. The girls were interested while the guys were definitely more than interested. Takahashi-sensei laughed as she held up her hands in front of herself.
“Please, one at a time!” she yelled, grinning. “We have a lot of homeroom sessions ahead of us.”
“Sensei!” a girl from the back of the room called, standing up while raising her hand. “Where are you from?”
“I’m originally from Fukui,” the teacher answered. “But I’ve been living in Tokyo for quite some time.”
“Then do you speak with an accent?” a different girl asked.
“I lost it already,” sensei answered, “and I hope to keep it that way.”
“Sensei, how old are you?” a boy asked, followed by a series of hooting and hollering from his pack of guy friends who all wanted to know the same thing.
“I’m 23 years old this year,” Takahashi-sensei replied, smiling. A series of “aw”s and “kawaii”s resonated in the room, allowing the young woman to laugh.
“Sensei, aren’t you a little too young to teach?” Risa asked, narrowing her eyes.
“Maybe I am,” the lady grinned. “But that doesn’t matter as long as I have what it takes, right?”
“Sensei, do you have a college degree?” Risa questioned again, still unconvinced.
“Yes I do, as well as a teaching permit.”
“Stop being uptight, Gaki-san,” one of the boys complained. “You’re being rude to Sensei.”
“I’m not being uptight !” the bean yelled. “It was just a question like everybody else’s.”
“Iinchou is just being Iinchou,” a different girl giggled. “Sensei, what’s your favorite food?”
“Omelette rice is always good for me,” the teacher answered, deciding to pass off the small argument between her students with a smile. “Now, I’m very sorry everyone, but the questions will have to stop here. I still have some last minute papers to fill out for the principal.”
“Bye, Sensei!” one of the guys called out with a grin.
The new teacher scanned the room one more time with a friendly smile before walking out and closing the door. The room went back into the hushed whispers; everybody was talking about the new teacher. All the boys seemed to like her already, just by the fact that she was young, beautiful, and has a nice body. Most of the girls seemed okay with her, since she seemed pretty nice. But Risa was still doubtful, with her perfectionist instincts. Suddenly, the boy that had complained to the bean before stood up.
“Iinchou, you really have to loosen up,” the guys said. “Do you hate Takahashi-sensei already?”
“I never said I hated her,” Risa replied. “But she is kind of young, isn’t she?”
“That doesn’t matter,” the boy rolled his eyes. “She must be here because she’s smart enough to teach, right? You’re just jealous, Gaki-san.”
“Yeah, you’re just jealous,” a different guy chimed in.
“Just because you’re the class representative, it doesn’t give you the right to try and make Sensei look bad,” a different boy said.
“Since when did I make her look bad?” Risa asked.
“You’re always so eager to find flaws in people,” the first guy said. “Just chill a little, will you? That’s why no guy ever asks you out.”
“Yeah, Iinchou can be cute too, if it wasn’t for your strict character,” the second boy cackled.
“Who wants to be asked out by guys like you anyway?” Eri defended her friend, standing up.
“Aw~ that’s so cute, Kamei!” one of the guys cooed. “You’re defending our class rep? What a good turtle!” The group of boys exploded into hollers and laughs while Eri gritted her teeth.
“You guys are being stupid,” one of the girls groaned. “Is there a Takahashi-sensei fan club already?”
“Great idea, Konno!” one of the guys yelled. “Hey guys, let’s make that club!”
“You’re all idiots,” the girl called Konno grumbled.
“Why does our class have to be filled with these boys while the other class gets the cute ones?” a different girl moaned.
“Don’t mind them, Risa-chan,” Eri sighed. “They’re all hopeless.”
“I know that,” the bean grinned. “That’s why nothing they ever say is enough to bring me down.”
“Yeah, go Gaki-san!” one of the girls cheered.
“Thanks, Makocchan,” Risa laughed.
Amidst all the cheering— boys about Takahashi sensei while the girls went on about sticking together— the door slid open and someone stuck their head in. Silence washed over the room again as all the attention went to the front of the classroom.
“I forgot something,” the brown-haired teacher smiled. “Who is the class representative here?”
“Hai,” Risa answered, standing up. “Niigaki Risa desu.”
“Niigaki-san,” the woman continued, smiling. “Would you mind staying after school today to do some extra work? As the class representative, I mean.”
“Of course,” the bean smiled back, completely hiding her irritation. “If it’s part of my job, I’d love to.”
“Great,” the teacher answered. “Teachers’ lounge, 3 o’clock sharp!”
The door closed again as all the boys continued to stare at the place where the beautiful lady’s head had been. Risa grumbled something to herself as she sank back into her seat.
“Does this mean I’m going home alone today?” Eri whined. “I thought we were going shopping together for a little while...”
“Sorry, Kameha,” Risa mumbled. “What can I say? It seems like our sensei still can’t doing things by herself around here. Why can’t she get one of her boy slaves to—”
“That’s going a little overboard, Risa,” Eri cut her off, frowning. “I don’t think she’s that bad. We should get to know her a little better first.”
“She’s obviously one of those teachers who try to sweet-talk all the male students!” Risa growled. “I hate teachers like that!”
“She doesn’t seem that way to me,” Eri shook her head. “Don’t judge before you really know someone, Risa-chan. That’s what you always say to me, remember?”
“Yeah, yeah,” the bean sighed. “I guess I’ll talk to her a little more before I decide whether I like her or not…”

Ai being a teacher is always interesting but I am having my mind wrapped around Eri being masculine but she is just an indication of short hair being a boy, although 5th gen represent!
-
Fuuuu epic TanaKame first meeting :lol: Not exactly to coolest way to meet though :lol: Looks like Reina had Eri hooked onto her. Not if only Reina hadn't dismissed Eri as one of the pretty boy :P
Hmm Risa sure is harsh to Ai despite their first meeting and her being the class rep :smhid I mean, having a pretty teacher is good for academic reasons, right? I mean, I would study hard to impress that cute teacher (especially one who looks like Ai :heart:)
-
Eri like ... ERIC? :shocked ... I like it X'D. "Pretty boy" I jus died with that X'DD
and the second Chapter, TakaGakiness is attacking :panic:. It looks like Eri has a first sight love.

(그랬구나...SarangAi님의 소설, 언제나 재미있게 잘 보고 있습니다 ^^ 렌엘추종자로서 렌엘중심의 소설이 특히나 더 반가웠네요 ㅎㅎ
다음 번에는 닼렌으로....안될까요? ㅎㅎ)
Uptight Gaki :smhid Not to mention rude. Questioning a new teacher's qualifications just because she looks too young to be a teacher? Tut tut. Gaki better pay for this big time :D
As for TanaKame....looks like the turtle is really hooked hehe. A bumpy road ahead for them, even just clarifying her correct gender would be quite an obstacle. But of course, the kitty would be hooked herself and it's not like she can resist the charms of the turtle anyway XD
-
Hmm my plan two try and comment after every chapter fail at the first hurdle :doh: :lol:
Poor Eri getting mistaken for a boy XD I'm looking forward to more interaction between her and Reina in this fic!
Ai as a teacher? I didn't see that coming! It will be intresting to see how these two interact trough the fic, I wonder what Ai wants with Gaki in the staff room? :wub:
Quick question, have you lower the age of some of the girls, Gaki, Eri etc to fit the being in School age, I assume you have but am just checking!
P.S. Sayu/Jun again? I suppose you to like couple more sometimes when you write about them in a fic, Surely these two will hve a happier story this time around thou right?....right! :panic:
-
@rndmnwierd: lol oh yes~ XD
@HashirePomeranian: LOL yes, the sparkles will always be in effect :twothumbs
@Ada: aww~ that's so sweet, thanks! :D
@kurosawa87: lol yeah, i just threw in the 5th generation XD
@badsaints: LOL I know, right?? But Risa has a lot of pride as the class rep and stuff, so she won't give in too easily :P
@Michi.Pinku: OMG Eriku is coming~~~~ its like you read my mind! XD
@kano-chan: omg you read my mind too... XD
@fallenxangel: LOL future gf :lol:
@Tami_Ai: wait no longer! btw, i love the face :rofl: :rofl:
@kawaii beam: Oh yeah, Ai's not evil. It's just GAki being judgemental :D
@Haruka: the uniform thing will be cleared up a little here :)

Chapter 3
Eri carefully folded her uniform and placed it inside her messenger bag. She closed her gym locker with a loud smash of metal hitting metal, but it didn’t scare anybody since the changing room was already loud with the sound of girls chatting after the excitement of gym class. The turtle turned to her friend next to her, who was in the process of taking off her shirt.
“I’m leaving then,” she said. “Have fun helping Takahashi-sensei.”
“Where do you think you’re going?” Risa asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Um… home?” Eri answered, confused by the bean’s reaction. “Gym class was our last period of the day, wasn’t it?”
“Yeah, but aren’t you going to change?” Risa asked again, referring to the turtle’s white t-shirt and black sweatpants. “You’re still wearing your gym uniform.”
“I’m too lazy,” Eri mumbled, ruffling her short hair. “Since we’re not going shopping, I think I’ll just go home, take a shower, and then change.”
“Actually, I have a favor to ask you, Eririn…” Risa said, smiling with big, expectant eyes.
“Oh, don’t give me that look,” the turtle whined. “You only call me Eririn when you want me to do something for you. I’m already kind of upset about you ditching me, you know.”
“Please, please, please?” the bean continued to beg, bending her knees a little to look up at her friend with puppy-dog eyes. “Just hear me out!”
“… Fine, what do you want?” Eri grumbled.
“The book that I’ve been telling you since last month!” Risa squealed, starting to jump up and down. “I have it reserved at the bookstore and I was supposed to go pick it up today! Could you do it for me, Eririn?”
“What do I get in return?” Eri asked, crossing her arms across her chest.
“I’ll help you with any homework for a week, a month, for as long as you want!” Risa offered, desperately staring at the turtle.
“That’s actually not a bad offer,” Eri said, nodding her head. It was true that she wasn’t doing so well in school since she always fell asleep… “Deal. I’ll go buy it for you.”
“Thank you so much, Eri!” Risa exclaimed, charging into the turtle to give her a hug. But Eri stepped aside before she could be embraced.
“You know you’re topless right now,” Eri said. She then grinned and spoke in a teasing tone. “Sorry, Risa-chan, but I don’t think of you that way. Oh, I hope we can still stay friends even though I’ve rejected your love—”
“You wish,” the bean grumbled, returning to her locker to snatch out the linen shirt of her uniform. The turtle laughed as she waved to her friend and walked out of the locker room.
As the final bell indicated the end of school, Eri skipped out the main entrance. Nobody had come out as early as her, so the front field was still pretty peaceful. The short-haired girl walked out through the gates and started to head towards the shopping district, where series of small stores were lined up in the streets.
Eri continued to walk a couple blocks down until she reached the bookstore. The welcoming voice of the store clerk rang out along with the chime of the bells hanging over the door. She started to walk down the rows of shelves, looking for the right column to go down in.
She finally found the right shelf and started to walk down the row while searching through the chain of books. When she didn’t see the right title the first time, Eri looked up to the upper shelves and walked down the row again. She stopped at one point and let out a sharp breath of air as her shoulders slumped.
It has to be all the way up there? She thought, biting her lips in frustration. Risa-chan will be doing my homework for a year!
With a sigh, Eri started to reach up towards the wanted book while standing on her tippy toes. Still unable to quite reach, she tried to stretch her muscles a little more. Her fingers managed to get a grip on the spine; but as she tried to pull it out, a couple other books on the side slid out with it. Eri reached her left hand up as well to push the unwanted books back into the shelf while grabbing the novel she needed with her right hand.
I got it! The turtle thought to herself, smiling. Now to just pull it out…
At that moment, the book that was right in front of Eri’s face got pulled out from the other side by someone. It was a girl with straight, light brown hair with a headband. She had a cute face and cat-like eyes that scrutinized the turtle’s surprised expression. Eri gasped. The girl on the other side of the shelf blinked a couple times before opening her mouth a little.
“Ara.”
“You!” Eri yelled, recognizing the petit girl that she had met before at the convenience store. “It’s really you— WOAH!”
Her feet started to falter from shock as Eri lost control over her motions. She tripped backwards as her right hand pulled out the book that she wanted along with a couple other heavy books in the same row. Eri let out a yell as she fell on her bottom while the chain of books fell on her head. She started to rub the back of her head that was in pain while looking down at the floor. A final book fell down from the top shelf and opened up on her head like a hat.
Before the turtle could reach up to remove the book, someone else took the weight away first. Eri looked up to see the petit girl wearing a brown school uniform, crouching in front of her while holding the book that had attacked her head.
“Still clumsy, huh, pretty boy?” she grinned.
“It’s you!” Eri yelled. She was unable to say anything else, much less think about anything else. She could only be grateful that she didn’t change back into her school uniform after gym class.
“You said that already,” the girl laughed.
“You— and I— trying to— money!” the turtle mumbled, eliciting another laugh from the cute girl. Ugh, I sound so stupid right now! Get a grip, Eri!
“Why don’t you clean up this mess first, before the store clerk comes?” the girl suggested, holding out the book in her hand. “There’s a stool over there, so you can use that.”
Why didn’t I think of the stool before? Eri thought, sighing. I really look stupid now…
Before she could do something else to come off as an idiot, the short-haired girl picked herself off the floor and retrieved the stool from the end of the shelf. She brought it back and picked up a couple books to put them back in their original spots. Reina started to stack the books in her arms so Eri could just take it from her hands without stepping down from the stool. After the tedious chore, Eri put the stool back where it was and returned to face the petit girl.
“Thanks for helping me,” she mumbled.
“That’s the most proper manner you’ve shown me since we met, pretty boy,” the girl smirked. “It’s a good thing the clerk didn’t show up. See you; be careful from now on!”
“W-wait!” Eri called, grabbing the short girl’s arm and spinning her around. She wasn’t about to send her off without even knowing her name like last time. “I… uh… still need to pay you back!”
“It was just 200 yen,” the girl chuckled. “You really don’t need to pay me back.”
“If you don’t want me to pay you back,” Eri insisted, “then at least let me show you my gratitude some other way.”
“… What do you have in mind?”
“We could, uh… get some ice cream… or something.”
The girl stared up at the fidgeting turtle and laughed softly. She was quite amused by this boy; he looked like a real wussy but in a way, he seemed sweet. She smiled as she nodded in approval to the invitation.
** ** **
Eri received the two vanilla cones from the ice cream stand man and walked back to the fountain where the petit girl was sitting at the edge. They were in the middle of the park where there were a lot of student couples and elementary school kids playing tag and hide-and-seek. There was a lady who was sitting on one of the benches, feeding pigeons. The turtle handed one of the cones to the cute girl she had fallen for and sat down next to her.
“Thanks,” the girl said, taking a lick of the soft ice cream.
“So, uh…” Eri hesitated, wondering how start up a conversation where she won’t make a fool out of herself. “What’s your name?”
“It’s proper manners to say your name first before asking the other’s,” the girl chuckled.
“Oh… Sorry,” the short-haired girl said, feeling her cheeks warming up. Great; she had already made a fool out of herself starting with the first sentence. “I’m Kamei Eri.”
“Eri?” the petit girl said, raising an eyebrow. “Isn’t that a girl’s name?”
“Oh! I, uh… you see here…” Eri stuttered, trying to find a good excuse. “See, my real name is, uh… Eriku! Yeah, it’s Eriku! My mom is from, uh… America! So she gave me a foreign name. But everyone calls me Eri.”
“I see,” the girl nodded
She started focusing her ice cream again while the turtle let out a sigh of relief. Eri felt like she just lost ten years off her life. Although she wanted to be honest with this girl, she was afraid that the revelation of her real gender may end everything right then and there. It wasn’t something she was about to risk.
“So, uh… what’s your name?” Eri asked carefully.
“Tanaka Reina,” she smiled. “You can just call me Reina.”
“Reina…” Eri breathed, feeling extreme happiness just from knowing this girl’s name. “So um, what school do you go to?”
“Morning Gakuen.”
“EHH? Really?”
“Is that something to be surprised about?” Reina asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Well…” Eri hesitated, “I heard that school is filled with really smart and rich people…”
“Is that really the image the public has of us?” the short girl questioned, intrigued by the idea.
“Well… it’s quite a prestigious private school,” the turtle explained. “And it’s all-girls too…”
“Hm. I guess so.” Reina took a lick of her ice cream, indifferent to everything she just heard. “There’s really nothing too special about it though.”
“I see…” Eri nodded, taking a bite out of the soft ice cream before it could melt onto her hand. “So… how old are you?”
“Seventeen.”
“Me too!” Eri exclaimed happily. “I’m seventeen too!”
“Seventeen isn’t that exciting a number, pretty boy,” Reina laughed.
“Oh, yeah, I know…” Eri mumbled, embarrassed by her overreaction. “Um, by the way… are you going to keep on calling me pretty boy?”
“You don’t like it?”
“It’s not that I don’t like it… I mean, you can call me by my name too… But if you like pretty boy then you can call me that—”
“I’ll switch around then, Eri,” Reina grinned, making the turtle blush at the sound of her name.
Before the turtle could ask more questions, the petit girl finished the last bite of her cone and stood up. Eri quickly got up as well, not wanting to let her go this way. She still wanted to know more about her; she still wanted to spend more time with her.
“Um, Reina—”
“Do you have a cell phone?” the short girl interrupted.
“Um, yes—”
“Let me see it.”
Eri quickly threw the ice cream away in the garbage can a couple feet behind her and started to rummage through her messenger bag. She unearthed her slide phone and handed it to the cat-like girl. Reina opened it and pressed a couple keys before returning it to its owner.
“Name and cell phone number,” she explained, as Eri opened her phone to examine the difference. “But you’ll have to work a little harder for the address.”
“Then it’s okay for me to call you?” Eri asked, her face brightening up.
“That’s usually the reason for giving phone numbers, pretty boy,” Reina giggled. “I have to go now. See you around, Eri.”
“Okay!” the turtle exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear. “I’ll see you, Reina!”
The long-haired girl started to walk away towards the park exit. Eri stared at her back as she clutched her cell phone to her chest. She had done it! She knew her name, her school, her age… and even her phone number! Eri squealed to herself as she slid her phone open and searched for Reina’s name. She stared at the number with a goofy grin before gasping and breaking out of her happy bubble.
She seemed to know the basic things about Reina… but Reina didn’t even know her gender yet.

“Sorry, Risa-chan, but I don’t think of you that way. Oh, I hope we can still stay friends even though I’ve rejected your love—”
Woot! At least we don't have GakiKame any more than platonic here *hides from GakiKame shippers*

Ah sorry missed the character profile bit :doh:
Topless Risa, why would you dodge that, nice to see Eri makes fun of Risa sometimes aswell :lol:
I'm liking Reina's character so far in this, she's obviously a bit of a troublemaker but not a problem child, it gives her charater a really good feel compared to Eri's nore nevous personality.

That being said... let's move on! :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 4
The class representative stared at the door that led into the staff lounge. She really didn’t want to go in. It wasn’t the fact that all the teachers would ask her why she was in there; almost all the teachers already knew her anyway. After all, she was the model student of Haro Kotogakko.
No, it wasn’t because of the awkwardness. It was just pure irritation; Risa didn’t want to sacrifice her time to help a newbie teacher who seemed to think the easy way out in life was to make everyone think she’s nice and pretty. It kind of pissed her off, somehow.
She sighed as her shoulders slumped. Maybe Eri was right, though; maybe she should get to know this teacher a little better before judging. She knew it was a bad habit of hers to look for perfection; after all, nobody in the world was perfect, not even herself.
Risa straightened her back and fixed her uniform to look like a proper student. She then reached for the handle and slid the door open.
“Shitsureishimasu— GAH!”
As she looked up, the bean almost bumped into the brown-haired lady who had asked for her help. There was a yellow portfolio in her hand; her expression was that of shock, but then it relaxed into a relieved smile. There was a group of male teacher behind her who all recognized Risa and started to grumble. What was going on here?
“Niigaki-san, you’re here!” Takahashi-sensei exclaimed, grabbing the Iinchou’s arm in relief.
“Um, didn’t you ask me to?” Risa questioned, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes, and I’m so glad you’re here,” the teacher said. Her eyes flickered to the side as if to check if there were still people behind her. She then turned around to face the male teachers with a smile. “Thank you everyone, but now that my class rep is here, I must go.”
“Are you sure you don’t want one of us to help you, Takahashi-sensei?” the gym teacher asked, grinning.
“We can even give you a tour of the school,” another teacher offered, smiling.
“No, no, it’s fine,” Takahashi-sensei laughed nervously. She put an arm around the bean, who raised an eyebrow as she stared at the hand on her right shoulder. “My student here will do all that for me.”
“I am?” Risa asked.
“Takahashi-sensei, we shouldn’t hold students back after school to do chores for us like this,” one of the male teachers said. “Niigaki, shouldn’t you be getting somewhere? Maybe an after-school tutoring or something?”
Risa quickly realized that her answer may affect her direct future. She started to get a strong urge to just answer, “yes” and leave. Maybe she could even catch up to Eri and go shopping like they originally planned to…
“Oh, Niigaki-san, did you have somewhere you need to go to?” the young teacher asked. She turned a little, angling herself to face her student while the other male teachers couldn’t see her expression. She opened her eyes wide in a pleading way while mouthing, “onegai”. She obviously needed Risa with her to fend off these male teachers.
The bean frowned. Doesn’t this lady like all the attention? Why doesn’t she go hang out with the gym teacher and his male crew? But it was understandable that some of these male teachers could be kind of creepy, considering they were desperate singles. And with a new beauty in the staff like Takahashi Ai… this probably seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime chance to them. Too bad Takahashi-sensei is already freaked out by them.
“No, I don’t have any plans today,” Risa sighed, finally picking the angel side of her mind. She really wanted to leave but she did feel kind of sorry for her teacher. If she left right now, she felt like this would bother her for the rest of the week.
“Then I guess there’s no problem,” Takahashi-sensei said brightly, turning to face the grumbling male teachers. “Now if you’ll excuse us…”
The young woman nudged her student out of the staff lounge and quickly followed behind. She closed the door and briskly walked down the hall as Risa chased after her.
“Where’s the copying room, Niigaki-san?” the teacher asked hurriedly.
“Um… turn right here.”
Both females turned the corner and entered the small room with walls that were lined up with copying machines. The teacher dropped her portfolio on one of the machines and exhaled in relief.
“Thank you so much, Niigaki-san,” she said, grinning. “I thought I would never get out of there!”
“They’re not monsters or anything,” Risa grumbled back. “You could’ve let them help you.”
“Not when they’re looking for something more than friendship,” Sensei smiled sadly. “This sort of thing has happened a couple times.”
“Really,” Risa replied, uninterested. She just practically announced that she’s popular among males! I knew her character wasn’t all that innocent!
“I’m really sorry for keeping you, Niigaki-san,” the teacher continued. “If you actually do have plans after school, you’re free to leave…”
“It’s fine,” the bean snapped back. It was too late anyway; Eri probably already got the book for her and was heading home. “Let’s just do whatever you need do and get it over with.”
“Oh. Um… okay,” Ai said, slightly taken back by her student’s sharp attitude.
She took out a couple sheets of paper from the yellow portfolio. She instructed that she needed about 50 copies of each worksheet. Risa snatched the first sheet from her hand and placed it inside the copying machine. She then closed the cover, inserted the right number, and pressed start. As the machine started to do its job, Risa leaned back while Ai stood next to her.
“Niigaki-san, what do your friends call you?” the teacher suddenly asked.
“Lots of things,” Risa sighed. “Some call me, ‘Niigaki’, others call me, ‘Iinchou’ or ‘Gaki-san’— that’s the most common. The closer friends call me by my given name.”
“Then is it okay for me to call you, ‘Gaki-san’?” the young lady asked carefully.
“Well I’m not going to tell you, ‘no’,” Risa shot back. “You’re my teacher.”
“But if you dislike it, then I won’t call you that.”
“It’s fine, you can call me whatever.”
The short conversation came to a stop. The whirring of the copying machine soon died down with it. Risa took the second sheet from Ai’s hand and placed it inside the machine. She closed the cover and started the process all over again. Silence overtook the room again, before Ai started talk once more.
“Gaki-san…” she said slowly, “you don’t like me very much, do you?”
“Why would you say that?”
“It’s quite obvious, if I do say so myself,” Ai chuckled. “But it’s okay, you don’t have to like me. But I wish you wouldn’t hate me, at least… does that make sense?”
Risa bit down on her bottom lip. This teacher just seemed so… innocent. Was she really beautiful inside and out? Was that even possible? Maybe she had misjudged this lady…
“It’s not you,” the bean said before she could rethink her words. “It’s just… it’s me.” Oh shit, that almost sounded like a break-up line…
“You?”
“I’m just really picky, Sensei,” Risa explained. “A perfectionist, if you will. It’s a bad characteristic. But I know you’re not a bad person, Sensei. I guess I just overanalyzed you at first. Gomenasai.”
“Oh, it’s perfectly fine,” the woman laughed softly. “I’m glad it wasn’t something that I did, Gaki-san. I was kind of worried how my students would think of me and it seemed as though I already had a student who hates me from the first day…”
“I don’t hate you!” Risa yelled out unconsciously. “I mean… ‘hate’ is a strong word. I guess… I just don’t know you yet.”
“Well, I hope to get to know you better, Gaki-san,” Ai smiled.
Risa stared at the teacher’s friendly face for a while, before realizing what she was doing and looking away. Her smile was… mesmerizing, in a way. Her perfect white teeth matched her friendly and gentle gaze perfectly. She really was beautiful…
Wait, what the hell am I thinking right now? Risa thought, shaking her head. I still don’t know Takahashi-sensei that well yet! I won’t judge her before I really get to know her, whether it be in a good way or a bad way!
For the rest of the time in the room, the teacher and the student photocopied all of the worksheets and stacked them in neat piles. Risa reached for the papers but Ai stopped her.
“You’ve done enough work today, Gaki-san,” she smiled. “I can handle it from here.”
“But what about the gym teacher and the other teachers in the lounge?” Risa asked. “What if they try to hold you back again?” Wait a minute, what do I care anyway?
“Thank you for worrying, Gaki-san,” the teacher laughed. “But it’ll be fine. They’re still my colleagues; I guess I’ll have to get used to them.”
“… Okay,” Risa mumbled.
She slung her backpack that she had placed on the floor before over her shoulders. Ai watched her leave and waved. She then started to stack the separate piles into one, when the bean stuck her head in the room again.
“Oh, and Sensei!”
“Yes?” Ai answered, looking up.
“… If you need any help around the school again…” the iinchou mumbled, keeping her gaze at the floor, “like directions or just assistance… you can ask me.”
The teacher blinked a couple times at the student that she thought hated her. She then smiled gratefully and nodded. “Arigatou, Gaki-san.”
Risa also nodded, still refusing to meet eyes with her sensei, and disappeared. Ai looked at the empty doorway for a while, and then laughed to herself.
What a sweet girl...

:yep: I'm Korean. I used to only read Korean fan fics, but with supply drying up among Korean fan fic writers I drifted into English fan fics :nervous
It's interesting to read an English fic written by a Korean writer, I must say :lol:
Eri Eri Eri. She's getting deeper and deeper into this hole she's digging herself into. Part of it is Reina's fault for making the assumption that Eri is a pretty 'boy', but at the same time it's cute to see the turtle all flustered and in love :inlove: I hope Reina is understanding. I'm sure she won't be able to resist Eri anyway XD
As for TakaGaki. They're not my favourite pairing or anywhere near the top of my list, but I'm a sucker for student-teacher romances in fiction. Of course in real life it would be much more complicated to have a student-teacher relationship, but the delicate balance between a young, slightly immature student and the older, mature teacher is what gets me, I guess. Or the clear young-and-old dynamic between student and teacher. I read one with RenAi written in a student-teacher relationship, which is what got me into that pairing, now always fighting with TanaKame for my favourite pairing, which seems to sway one way depending on my mood :lol:
Normally I wouldn't care much for TakaGaki, but just because they're written in a student-teacher relationship I'd be interested to see how they work their way through their feelings.
-
nee... Eric-kun is a little lier, right? ... And still too cute *-* , I want him X'D!
Yup I just read your mind, ahaha~~ Kame-Powers... I wanna read more TanaKame.
And about TakaGaki... Gaki Hero? She is not judging her teacher anymore, she already feel the love.
PS: Michi is gonna wait patiently ShigeJun.
Peace ~~ :peace:

Yeahhh~~!!! :inlove:
She's starting to care! :mon squee:
She's fallin'! :mon inluv:
Good good good! :twothumbs :cow:

Hiya. Sorry that I have not been commenting in a while, I've been busy with school. :depressed:
Anyways, getting on with the comments. I really like how this story is going as of far.
Reina's character is really different from Kokoro no Uta, but not in a bad way. :whistle:
Poor Eri though; the girl she likes doesn't even know her real gender. But that's what makes the story interesting
Hm...Risa's perfectionist character seems rather interesting. I can't put my finger about why it is as of far.
I like Ai's character as the teacher. She suits the role very well.
Please update soon.
-
Just what I said... I can't miss any day... cause you update >o<
And I miss my comment for the 3rd chapy T_________T

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 5
The streetlights flickered on and off as the petit girl walked down her street. It wasn’t completely dark yet; the sun was setting in the horizon, indicating dinner time. Reina was feeling hungry, but also lazy to cook. Maybe she’ll have to settle on another instant ramen…
Concentrating solely on dinner, the cat-like girl walked up the steps to her white house and inserted the key into the door. She then twisted her wrist but the lock didn’t turn with it. Her eyebrows rose up in confusion as she cocked her head to the side. Was the key stuck? Reina pulled out her key out and tried the door. The brass handle turned easily in her hand. The key was stuck; the lock hadn’t opened because it was already opened.
Reina quickly slipped her hands off the door handle and took a step back. She was absolutely sure that she locked the house this morning when she left for school; yet the door handle had turned easily as though it was oiled. Had she remembered wrong?
No, she definitely locked the door. So why was it now open? Had someone broken in? Perhaps someone who had a bone to pick with her because of something she did in the past, when she was still the leader of her gang? Definitely a possibility…
Deciding to face whoever the intruder was, Reina took a deep breath and opened the door. She took off her shoes and silently placed her backpack down on the floor. None of the lights in the hallway was on; but when she turned the corner, she could see the light from the kitchen seeping through the sliding doors with dull glass. Someone was inside.
Reina slowly crept up to the door and tried to see who was inside through the distorted glass, without avail. How dare anyone in their right mind break into her home? If they think they can top her, the legend Tanaka Reina in any way, they were wrong.
Before she could open the kitchen door to reveal the trespasser, Reina felt a presence behind her. She quickly whirled around and did a roundhouse kick, letting out a yell in the process. Her ankles were grabbed by someone in the darkness.
“Woah!” the person yelled. “Easy there, cool-cat.”
Reina immediately recognized the person’s voice as her legs were dropped back to the floor. She scoffed as the dim light from the kitchen started to reveal the person’s face. It was a girl, much taller than herself, wearing a light orange sweatshirt. Her hair was braided a little on one side, pulled towards the back of her head to reveal a large earring shaped like a butterfly. The rest of her smooth black hair traveled down below to her chest.
“Junjun?” Reina shrilled. “What the hell are you doing in my house?”
“Hey, can’t you start by greeting someone with a, ‘hello’? Maybe a, ‘how are you’?” the panda complained, fixing her bangs.
“You’re trespassing on Tanaka property right now,” Reina growled. “I can sue you for that. How did you get in anyway? I thought I removed the spare key under the flower pot.”
“Never underestimate me, Reina,” Junjun grinned. “A couple paper clips are enough for me to handle your door. Besides, it wasn’t my idea to come here. I was just tagging along with them.”
She pointed a finger behind the petit girl. Before Reina could turn around, she jumped with a start as a loud voice rang into her ears.
“KONBANWA, TANAKA-SENPAI!”
Reina whirled around to see her kouhai who had come out from the kitchen. Her big smile seemed to brighten up the entire room.
“Mittsi?” the petit girl shrilled again. “Wait a minute… if you’re here, that means—“
“NI HAO!” an equally loud voice greeted from behind the cute kouhai. A girl with short brown hair popped out from the kitchen. “How was your day, Senpai?”
“It was going wonderfully until I found out that three yankiis broke into my house!” Reina said sarcastically while smiling.
“Aw, don’t be like that, Reina,” Junjun laughed. “These two just wanted to come and make some dinner for you. You are their aspiration, after all.”
“That’s right, Senpai!” Aika grinned. “Linlin and I made a nice hot meal for you! I think you’ll enjoy it!”
That’s when Reina finally noticed that her underclassmen were wearing matching aprons, pink and yellow. Even their slippers were matching as well as the chain necklaces that hung around their necks. These two were really getting into this couple thing. Ever since they realized their mutual feelings for each other, Aika and Linlin were inseparable. Reina hadn’t seen them do more than kissing on each other’s cheeks, but they still seemed pretty sincere about each other. How pure, considering they were both gang members.
But that was what also made them frightening, in a way. At first glance, they seemed completely harmless. But if anybody crossed them, they would soon see that they were not to mess with. It was a good trait, somehow. At first, nobody had thought that Aika would be so agile and quick while Linlin would be so skilled in handling knives. But as soon as their talents were recognized, Reina had accepted them into her gang. But that was a long time ago…
“So, how about it?” Junjun offered. “Go up and change; come have some dinner. We can talk after.”
“I still didn’t forgive you for breaking into my home,” Reina reminded.
“I can live without your forgiveness,” Junjun said nonchalantly, grinning.
The panda walked past the kitty and entered the kitchen. Reina sighed and smiled. Junjun would never change; she was always such a free person, and always will be. It seemed as though she had no worries at all.
** ** **
“I got to say,” Reina sighed contently, “that was a pretty good meal.”
“Of course it was a good meal,” Aika grinned. “My Lin is such a good cook~”
“I could only make it so well because you were helping, Aika~” Linlin cooed back.
“Oh, put a cork in it,” Reina grumbled, her character reverting in less than a second.
“It sure beat instant ramen, though,” Junjun laughed.
“I won’t argue with that…” Reina mumbled under her breath, making all three girls laugh out.
“Well then, I’ll get started on the dishes,” Linlin announced, getting up from her chair.
“I’ll help,” Aika said, happily jumping up after her girlfriend. “Two is better than one, right?”
“Yup, especially us two together,” Linlin smiled.
“I think I need some fresh air,” Reina groaned, making a face. She shot up from her seat and stomped towards the kitchen door that led out into a small patio.
“Hey, keep the lovebird moment to a minimum, will ya?” Junjun warned her two sidekicks. As Aika and Linlin just giggled and walked towards the sink, the panda followed her friend outside and closed the door.
Reina sank down into a crouching position and took in the fresh air; she wasn’t afraid to be in such a position, now that she was out of her school uniform. She was wearing a dark purple t-shirt with black sweatpants instead. Her long brown hair still hung straight down her back. Junjun sat down all the way on the patio and started to rummage through her sweatshirt pocket. She pulled out a small white box and flipped open the cover. She held it out to the petit girl.
“Want some?” she offered.
Reina turned to look at the thing that was presented to her, and glared at the panda.
“You’re really not helping me quit, you know,” she grumbled. But she pulled out a cigarette anyway and put it in her mouth. “Why can’t you just offer me gum for once?”
“You know I only keep gum with me in school,” Junjun grinned, as she lit Reina’s cigarette for her. She shoved a cigarette of her own in her mouth and lit it as well. She breathed in a little and then breathed out the smoke. “The gum is only backup in case it seems too obvious that I’ll get caught smoking.”
“The teachers wouldn’t do anything to you anyway, even if you get caught,” Reina shot back. “You’re one of the top 10 students in the school; they wouldn’t dare touch you. You make them look good.”
“True that,” Junjun laughed. “The benefit of studying really is amazing, isn’t it?”
“I don’t even understand how you find the time to study, considering the way you party around town every night,” Reina said, narrowing her eyes.
“It’s called natural talent,” the panda joked, tapping her forehead with her index finger. “I was born a genius.”
“Yeah, sure,” Reina chuckled.
For a moment, the two girls sat and smoked in silence. Reina sighed deeply, and then turned to look at her friend.
“Let me ask you a question, Jun.”
“Hm?”
“Why do you keep on coming to my house?” Reina asked. “I quit the gang. None of you girls have any more business here.”
“You don’t like it when we come?”
“It’s not the matter of liking it or not; I just find it peculiar. You know the first time you guys broke in, I thought you came to give me the punishment that I never got for quitting the gang.”
“You mean beating you up half-dead?” Junjun laughed softly.
“Yeah, that,” Reina said flatly. “When I told you guys I was quitting my yankii life, none of you girls thought to get revenge on me the way gangs usually do. Why?”
“Well, you were our leader, Reina,” Junjun said matter-of-factly. “We couldn’t exactly do anything to you, could we?”
“But I made you leader before I quit. You could’ve thrown a couple punches at me.”
Junjun stared at the ex-yankii’s unwavering eyes. She then sighed, and twisted the cigarette onto the wooden board of the patio beneath her feet.
“You want to know why we keep coming here?” she asked. Reina stayed silent and waited. “It’s not because you’re our ex-leader, or because you quit the gang. It’s because you’re our friend. It’s because we like you and we like hanging out with you. That has nothing to do with being a delinquent or not.”
“… You never cease to amuse me, Jun,” Reina laughed, twisting her own cigarette onto the patio. “You know, most gang leaders aren’t as soft and happy as you. You’re definitely something out of the traditional norm.”
“Oh, you know I can be mean too,” the panda smirked. “I have to have some bad in me, for you to have accepted me into the group in the first place. The night you left the group… I didn’t punish you. But I kind of took it out on other gangs, though. I was pretty pissed about you quitting, you know.”
“How many groups did you get?”
“I didn’t keep track. Aika and Linlin should know though; they checked the hospital records.”
“Am I supposed to be happy or sad about that?” Reina asked, raising an eyebrow.
“They were all hardcore gangs anyway,” Junjun reassured. “The police was looking for them. We did the job for them and got out of the scene.”
“Again, not the traditional norm,” Reina laughed.
“Hey, let’s stop talking about me,” Junjun complained. “I have something I want to ask you too.”
“Shoot.”
“You have a new boyfriend.”
“… That’s not a question.” Reina glared sideways at her Chinese friend, who smirked.
“We saw you at the park with him today,” Junjun explained. “He seemed pretty cute. But I was kind of surprised, because he wasn’t your type at all. You know, at first glance, I thought he was a girl.”
“First of all, he’s not my boyfriend,” Reina said. “And second of all, you’re right. He’s not my type at all; too pretty, and much too soft.”
“It seemed like you were having a good time flirting with him, though.”
“There’s something about him,” the ex-yankii murmured. “Something that’s different from other boys… but I can’t figure out what it is. So for now, I’m just keeping close. I gave him my number. I guess you can say I’m just playing.”
“That’s pretty devious,” Junjun whistled. “Poor guy.”
“Hey, I didn’t mean ‘playing’ in that sense,” Reina growled. “I’m saying I’m not that serious about him yet. But… he’s sweet. There’s something that attracts me to him. And I want to find out what it is.”
“Does he know… about your past?”
“We only met yesterday, Jun,” the smaller girl said, rolling her eyes. “That’s not something I tell anyone.”
“Well, if he seems so special…” Junjun mumbled. She stretched as she slowly got up to her feet and picked up her cigarette. “You can do what you want, Reina. But if he proves to be more than what meets the eye, I think I might want to meet him and see for myself what’s so different about him.”
“I’ll let you know if we ever get that close,” Reina grinned, also getting up.
“Ah~ I’m tired!” Junjun yelled, yawning. “Do you mind if we sleep over tonight?”
“As long as you guys make breakfast tomorrow morning,” the ex-yankii smiled. “Or I have to depend on ramen again.”
“You know, for a rich girl, you don’t exactly live an extravagant life,” the panda groaned.
“That’s because I’m independent,” Reina sighed. “Papa pays for all the raw material, but I still have to do my own share of the work to make a living.”
“… You still call him, ‘Papa’, huh?” Junjun said quietly, smiling a little.
“… ‘Father’ never sounds right,” Reina whispered.
“I think it’s a good thing,” the panda comforted. “It’s something that still connects you two, somehow.”
“Too bad he doesn’t think to connect us by using the phone,” Reina laughed dryly.
“He hasn’t forgotten you; trust me,” Junjun whispered. She then turned around and yelled loudly into the house as she opened the door. “Hey, Mittsi and Rinko! We can sleep over if you guys make breakfast tomorrow~!”
“Deal! Anything for senpai!” Aika chirped happily from the sink.
“Anything my girl is okay with, I’m okay with,” Linlin said, receiving a loving gaze from her lover.
“You guys are using the farthest room from my bedroom,” Reina grumbled as she crossed over the threshold.
As she discarded her cigarette into the ashtray on the kitchen table, the petit girl felt the vibration of her phone in her pocket. She took it out and flipped it open. There was a new text message.
Today was a lot of fun!
I hope we can hang out again soon~
Oyasumi ^__^
~Eri
A gentle smile started to spread on Reina’s lips as she read the text message. It was only a couple words, but it somehow made her feel much warmer inside.
“Something is definitely different about this guy…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope that was interesting enough to bring you guys back in... XD
There was a lot of other characters/personalities revealed :twothumbs
:byebye: :sleep:
-
Reina used to be a gang leader, changed herself into a working girl and not being spoiled from the father as something must have happened between them, although Jun seems to be looking up to Reina still yet. I have the wild idea that Eri might change Reina all around that she goes 180 and because of that she finds her confidence in herself through Reina, however its your story so keep it up :thumbsup
-
..................YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :w00t: :thumbup
:lol:
I'm so glad Reina isn't just a normal girl after all ^^ Well, that thought mabe me think she's boring but PHEW she used to have her gang and everything. XD :heart:
:D
Now I might be interested in this one's plot~ :D
-
NO. They smoke?? :shocked: Haha..I thought Reina was different in this fic, but she's still pretty much the same with her Yankii ways. :grin:
Eri(ku) is different than other guys because (s)he is a girl..? :lol:
If Reina is determined to find out what it is that attracts her to Eri, I think she'll be able to accept the fact that Eri(ku) is a girl. :mon determined:
Interesting chappie. Now we know Reina used to be miss gang leader... 8)2 I thought Eri would be the strong character in this one. :roll:
-
oh snapz they killin the lungs D: not good~! but i like this chappy, it shows us more of reina's backround~
cute linka...remind me never to piss them off XD
-
>o< Reina Yankii Mode On =D
Jajajaja I knew it =) it shouldn't be Reina if she doesn't has a gang XD
She knows Eri is more that a friend... She's falling for our turtle *q*
-
I'm am already loving this FF.
TanaKame: Ex-Yankii + ?? I'm not really sure what to call Kamie-san right now :nervous
And of course the TakaGaki: Love how you're going to make it a Teacher/Student relationship.
I'm more interested how you going to get them together. Awkward tension, maybe get them back in that copy room again :lol:, Don't be so mean Gaki-san! :cry:
-
Hiii :gmon hi:

-
Hachiki gang members? LinKa love? Yankii Reina with a soft spot for girlboy Eri? Holy crap yes! :cow: I want more! More!!
-
Reina is an Ex Yankii then :roll: She handed her power over to Jun, who seems to be like the nicest gang member ever, I wonder if it is just that Jun is freinds with Reina, I wonder if Jun would like her and Reina to be more..... Linka afr funny though, they make a good pair :lol:
Reina thinks there's something different about Eri, well she's not wrong is she :P Jun mentioned that she looked like a girl, I wonder if she is suspicious even if Reina isn't.
Reina seemed really pleased to get the message from Eri, is she falling for ManEri :doh:
One Question however, where is Sayu??? :?
-
thats would be nicest gang ever~ :D
somehow i'm so glad that reina isn't one of these nice and innocent girl :sweatdrop:
-
I'm way behind in your other fic, so I'm reading this one instead :D but I will read it one day :yep:
Mama Gaki was way more mature than Mama or Papa Kame.
:lol:
“Here,” she smiled, “this should make up for his shortage.”
Wait. Did she just call her “pretty boy” again?
:lol:
“Kameha, she obviously likes guys, not girls,”
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
“Sensei, aren’t you a little too young to teach?” Risa asked, narrowing her eyes.
Yay! TakaGaki first encounter is very interesting :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
“Would you mind staying after school today to do some extra work? As the class representative, I mean.”
There Fixed XD
“Sorry, Risa-chan, but I don’t think of you that way. Oh, I hope we can still stay friends even though I’ve rejected your love—”
:lol:
See, my real name is, uh… Eriku! Yeah, it’s Eriku!
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
It wasn’t something she was about to risk.
All for the sake of love.
I.SO.LOVE.ERI.KU
“It’s just… it’s me.” Oh shit, that almost sounded like a break-up line
OMG! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Most fave line so far! XD
when she was still the leader of her gang
Whoa! :w00t:
Aika would be so agile and quick while Linlin would be so skilled in handling knives.
Again, whoa!
I thought he was a girl
XD
Very Interesting!
-
Jun appeared ! :cow:
So... Reina was the leader of a gang of yankees ? and the current leader is Jun ?
Yay... so exciting :panic:
I guess that both, ex- leader and leader are gonna be tamed ( by Eri-ku and Sayu :wub: )
I really don't know what expect about Eri's lies, just I hope Reina doesn't be so angry about that.
aaaaaaw... I'm so impatient.
Looking forward moar.
Peaace~~ :peace:
-
Sorry for the double post but ... SarangAi
I'm dedicating my post number 100 for you :oops: ~~ aaaw... :heart:
Thanks for the fic *-*
PS: psss... the 101 one too X'D
-
@kurosawa87: the future really revolves around what reina's problem is, so we'll see :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 6
Eri placed her chin on the wooden desk and stretched her arms out in front of her. She yawned loudly, tired for no reason at all, which caused her friend next to her to turn and glower. Eri grumbled something incoherent under her breath; Risa could be too much of an honor student sometimes. Whenever the turtle showed signs of going to sleep in the middle of class, the representative would send a deadly glare towards her direction.
Deciding to follow the bean’s will, Eri tried to focus on the front of the classroom, where Takahashi-sensei was talking about Shoguns. The board was filled with notes that should have been written down a long time ago. The turtle just decided that she would copy Risa’s notes later. After, she did owe her for picking up the book the other day.
That brought a different thought to mind, about how Eri’s boring trip to the bookstore had ended up becoming one of the happiest moments in her life. Ever since yesterday, she had constantly stared at her cell phone screen, reading the name and the phone number of the girl she fell for over and over again. Just thinking about her made the turtle’s cheeks turn pink in bliss.
Eri didn’t feel like sleeping so much anymore. Instead, she silently took out her cell phone from the pocket that was sewn in on the inside of her skirt. She placed it on her lap and eyed her best friend; Iinchou was completely submerged in Takahashi-sensei’s lesson, despite her doubts in the woman’s teaching skills when they first met. Eri guessed that Risa was a bit more accepting of their new teacher now.
Confirming that the bean was off her case, the turtle slid her phone open and operated it to send a new text message. She typed as fast as she could while looking up occasionally at the front of the room, so as not to get caught.
Hi, Reina!
Are you in class right now?
~Eri ^__^
She quickly pressed the send button and picked up her pencil to act as though she had been taking notes all along. After a couple seconds, her phone vibrated for a short moment on her lap. Eri dropped her pencil and immediately and checked the returned message.
Aren’t you in school too?
Shame on you for texting during class.
~Reina
Eri’s eyes popped wide open as she realized her mistake. Did she just make a fool out of herself again? Why did she keep doing this…? Biting her lips, she started to press the keypad furiously in order to make amends.
I’m really sorry for bothering you ^^;;
I’ll stop texting… >.<;;
~Eri
As she closed her cell phone, Risa hissed from beside her, glaring back and forth from the turtle’s face to her cell phone. She mouthed something along the lines of, “put it away”. Eri rolled her eyes and just nodded her off. Risa glared for a couple more seconds before turning to the board again. As Eri picked up her pencil once more, the phone vibrated; she immediately dropped the writing utensil.
I was jk, pretty boy. I wasn’t serious ^^
Don’t be so over-sensitive =)
~Reina
As her eyes scanned the tiny screen, Eri let out a soft sigh of relief. So Reina wasn’t mad or anything; she was probably smirking the way she usually does right now, rolling her cat-like eyes while revealing her cute teeth…
Deciding that it was safe to take a more casual tone, Eri immediately sent a reply.
But I’m so bored right now, Reinaaaa T^T
I want school to end now!
~Eri ^__^
This time, Eri didn’t even bother picking up her pencil again. She just stared at her cell phone, waiting for the vibration to come. In no less than a minute, a return message was received.
I’m bored too -_-
I think I’m too used to you already. You’re too entertaining ;]
When you’re not with me, it gets boring ^^
~Reina
Eri couldn’t help but smile goofily as she read the message. She thought she was entertaining! She enjoys her company! Not missing another second, the turtle started to text back at high-speed.
Are you free after school?
Maybe we can meet somewhere =D
~Eri ^__^
Eri started to stare at the screen again, starting to bounce her legs up and down in excitement. As she tried to stop her arms from trembling with joy, the turtle continued to grin in a stupid way. The phone soon vibrated again and Eri slid it open to check the message. But then, someone cleared their throat loudly near her. Eri looked up as she gulped, making eye contact with the smiling Takahashi-sensei.
“I know I’m new here, but I still know the rule about cell phones, Kamei-san,” the teacher said sweetly as some of the students started to giggle. “What happens when you text in class?”
“… Sensei is supposed to take it…” Eri squeaked. Risa mouthed, “I told you” as she rolled her eyes.
“Very good, Kamei-san! So you are informed of the rule!” Sensei exclaimed, clapping her hands together. More giggles elicited from the class.
“But Takahashi-sensei is nicer than Iida-sensei, so she’ll just give me a warning and let me off the hook… maybe?” Eri tried, smiling angelically at her history teacher.
“… One day, I’ll develop immunity against that smile, Kamei-san,” Sensei grinned, pointing her finger at the turtle. “But until then, you can keep your cell phone. No more texting!”
“Arigatou gozaimasu, Sensei~” Eri chirped, beaming.
As the teacher marched back up to the front of the room and continued her lesson, Eri looked down at her cell phone. It vibrated again and the pop-up screen indicated that there were two new messages. Eri checked both.
Is it ice cream again? XD
~Reina
lol You got caught, didn’t you?
You’re not replying as fast as you’ve been doing so far.
~Reina
Eri sighed as she texted back in the shortest way possible.
Yes… =__=
~Eri
The turtle then picked up her pencil in earnest as she slowly started to copy down the overdue notes on the board. After a couple seconds, her phone vibrated again. Eri eyed her teacher and then her surroundings, including her goody-goody class representative, and slid her phone open.
Café Buono
Number 8, 32nd Street
Meet me at 4.
~Reina
Eri gasped as her lips spread into a big smile. She yelled with joy inside her head while trying to keep her squeals of excitement to a minimum. She wanted to see her again! She had willingly accepted Eri’s proposal to meet again! And since they were to meet at 4 o’clock, Eri had time to go back home and change into something more presentable…
But she would have to wear boy’s clothes, something simple and baggy but still not disrespectful. She actually had plenty of those clothes, since she always liked big and loose outfits better than the tight and elaborate ones. It was a simple fact that they were just more comfortable.
Although she was excited for this meeting— or maybe she could call it a date— Eri started to wonder how long she would be able to keep up this pretense of being a foreign guy. She had to tell Reina her real gender someday along with her preference in love… But would the kitty girl deny her after all is revealed?
Eri exhaled deeply as she put her cell phone away. For now, she would keep up her act. Losing Reina by coming clean too soon wasn’t something she was about to risk. She would wait a little longer, until they get to know each other even better, and then rethink her confession.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm actually still brainstorming what they're gonna do... so i can't make any promises XD
:byebye: :sleep:
-
She placed it on her lap and eyed her best friend; Iinchou was completely submerged in Takahashi-sensei’s lesson
Oh goddess of goddesses :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: It's like she's more afraid of the bean than the teacher
I think I’m too used to you already. You’re too entertaining ;]
When you’re not with me, it gets boring ^^
Flirting much, lovely :D
Takahashi-sensei :wriggly:
Reina = previous gang leader ~ It's like Eri's digging her own graveyard XD but she's in love so :D
-
Awww~!!! They text each other during class! :wub:
Hurray for kind Takahashi sensei! :cow:
LOL! Cafe Buono!? Are you going to throw in the Buono! girls too? XD
I can't wait to see what their 'date' would be like. :roll:

-
Aww the TanaKame txt was cute!!! :wub: Isn't it nice that Ai is such a nice teacher and didn't take her phone! :sweatdrop:
Ha will Eri have to think of a way to dress up as a boy? :lol:
Cafe Buono XD I wonder who works there??? :lol:
Looking forward to sayu next chapter, intrested in what kind of character she is gonna be....
-
Brainstorm! :inlove: Hahaha :D They both (Tanakame) have things they're hiding from each other :P
Lol at Takahashi-sensei being nice and not taking Eri's phone :D Gonna lose controlll, Ai-chan please don't complain if you're not gonna do anything about it :panic: :D
-
Oh man, how sweet, texting in class. :lol: Hmm, I wonder how Sayu will be introduced.
-
OMG I can so relate to Eri's character right now lol. Getting that one number, grinning like some mad girl and texting in class (always an advantage to be buddy buddy with your teachers - especially if you're a troublemaker lol).
Can't wait for the TanaKame date...at Cafe Buono hmm...
On serious note, Ai as a teacher is sooooooo hot :drool:
-
@kRisZ: yes, at this point, Eri can handle any of Reina's secrets.... but can reina handle the turtle's? 8)
@kano-chan: I'm actually wondering what they're doing on their date too XD
@kurosawa87: perhaps more characters, not sure yet :nervous
@fallenxangel: I didn't say they can all concentrate.. it's just risa who's trying to be unaffected by takahashisensei's hawtness :inlove:
@oddball: yup, eri has to dress up like a guy XD
@Fushigidane: lol Aichan's just being a teacher :D
@rndmnwierd: I got something for Sayu XD
@badsaints: SHE IS isn't she??? I'm so glad i made her the teacher :lol:
sorry guys, this is a comment reply, not an update :nervous
I always get so many comments so it usually takes me over half an hour to update a story, with the formatting an all.... so i just did replies as soon as i woke up XD
On the bright side, I don't have classes for the next two days plus the weekends, so i'm gonna try to get the story going. even though I can't promise anything :twothumbs
And instead of an update, i thought I might post some picture :cow:
HARO KOTOGAKKO UNIFORM (I know it's berryz koubou, but this is what i imagine them wearing) XD
(http://a.imageshack.us/img295/6118/91595585.jpg)
MORNING GAKUEN UNIFORM (and~ yorosen) :lol:
(http://a.imageshack.us/img94/5747/momusu.jpg)
I'm actually kinda like having to show pictures... it gives you a better image :D
Oh and something else I wanted to say.
I feel like this story isn't as well-written as Kokoro no Uta. I'm really sorry, but it can't be helped. Classes have started, summer is over... all self-explanatory, right? :nervous
I'm still going to try to make it as interesting as possible, but Chigatte mo Iin da yo! probably won't top Kokoro no Uta :sweatdrop:
But I hope the story is till good enough to entertain you all~ :P
-
i thinks it's quite a nice story since there is gender-bender and teacher-student relationships :inlove:
and the uniform are perfect :on GJ:
-
Don't worry about whether if this fic will top Kokoro no Uta. :pig refuse: They're two different stories. :roll: I think this one is pretty awesome already. :mon thumb:
-
^Ditto. It's just this and that. Both stories are well written, just different.
-
I really like the story too...
Maybe it has to be more elaborated cause it's imply a teacher - student relationship
And a gender-bender... so it has to be a little more complex o_O
And now you're not on vacation so... We can understand that =3
I appreciate that you can continue giving us storys ^^
Thans you ~
.
..
...
PS: And update XD
-
they're so cute texting each other. And well, I would like have a teacher like Ai-chan -w-, she can't resist Eri's angelical smile.
Cafe Buono... I was so exciting when I read that X'D...
Okay it's a poor post but I'm very busy now... sorry S:
PS: I love the uniforms.
Don't think your fic isn't so well done like Kokoro no Uta n_n , they're very different stories and both of them are very good. I think, Chigatte is more complex, anyway, I love your two stories XD
Peace ~~ :peace:
-
Takahashi-sensei !!!!!!!!! :pig red: :mon angel: :gmon shy: she is perfect .O. :bow: :bow:
Eri ...excitedly sending messages to Reina :tama-apeshit: :tama-excite:
Risa :mon suspect: Looking to teacher xDDDDDD
This fanfic.. is very interesting and gooD .I'm always so excited for each
chapter
-
@fallenxangel: yeah, the uniforms are conveniently there XD
@kano-chan: aww~ thank you! :D
@rndmnwierd: thanx~ but I think Chigatte is a little more poorly worded, cuz i'm always in a rush :nervous
@Haruka: aww~ thank you! just the relationships itself makes things more complicated, huh? :P
@Michi.Pinku: lol I dunno what's happening at CafeBuono yet, actually XD
@Tami_Ai: thank you~ i'm glad you look forward to the chapters~ :twothumbs
Thanks for comments guys~ But I actually do plan for Chigatte mo Iin da yo! to be shorter than Kokoro no Uta. :nervous
Hopefully a lot shorter, since Kokoro no Uta was WAY longer than I planned for :sweatdrop:
and the story will move on a little faster for this fic, so hopefully, there will be less chapters :D
But that doesn't mean I'm getting lazy, so dont' worry! XD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 7
Reina opened her shoe locker and took out her sneakers. She then removed her indoor slippers and put it in place of her outdoor shoes. She shoved her feet into her sneakers and looked around to check if anyone was watching. Determining that the coast was clear, the ex-yankii lifted her leg and placed her heel on the edge of the locker. It seemed like quite an unflattering position, with her leg hoisted up like that, but Reina was too lazy to bend down to tie her shoes. When she secured both sneakers on her foot, the petit girl closed her locker door.
“SENPAI!”
“AGH!”
Reina jumped back in shock as her mind froze for a while. As her brain restarted, it processed two smiling girls in front of her, who were hiding behind the locker door.
“Aika! Linlin! You girls scared me half to death!” the older girl gasped, choking on air.
“Sorry!” Aika giggled, holding up a hand in front of her face in apology. “Linlin and I just had something to ask you. It’s a message from Junjun-senpai!”
“Why doesn’t she come and talk to me herself?” Reina asked, raising an eyebrow.
“She’s doing extra work for the teacher because she slept during class,” Linlin grinned. “I don’t know why the teachers even bother; she still aces all the tests anyway. They should just let Jun-senpai be.”
“It’s because they’re like me,” Reina smiled. “We’re all curious how Junjun can do so well in school when she parties every waking moment.”
“It’s a natural talent,” Aika said, quoting her gang leader.
“Anyway, what were you guys going to ask me?” Reina questioned, returning to the original topic.
“Junjun-senpai wanted us to ask,” Linlin started, “if you wanted to come Karaoke with us tonight.”
“It’s Friday, so we can have fun for the rest of the day!” Aika exclaimed.
“Guys, I’m not a yankii anymore, nor am I your leader,” Reina sighed. “I want to go home at an early time like a good little girl and go to bed.”
“That kind of image doesn’t fit you though, Tanaka-senpai,” Aika pouted. “You should come hang out with us; it’s been a long time.”
“And it won’t be a gang gathering with all the other girls too,” Linlin chipped in. “It’ll be just the four of us, as friends.”
Friends. That word was starting to come up a lot in Reina’s life. Junjun had said before that she and the girls broke into her house because they liked her. Not because they wanted to bring her back to the group or punish her; it was because they considered her a friend. But thinking of friends reminded Reina of a certain special friend that she had a previous appointment with.
“I understand that,” Reina smiled, “but sorry, I already have plans today. I’m meeting up with someone else.”
“Oh, is it that girly boy from the park?” Linlin asked, her eyes sparkling in interest.
“I think he looks like a wussy,” Aika grumbled, not appreciating the fact that her aspiration may be falling for such a weak-looking person.
“I actually think so too,” Reina grinned. Pretty boy really was too pretty. “But he’s a good friend now. Don’t judge before you get to know someone, okay?”
“Hai~” the young kouhais answered in unison
“Now run along,” the older girl ordered. “I have to go home and change. Tell Junjun we can meet up some other time.”
The two girls nodded and saluted their ex-leader in a joking manner. Then, they linked arms with each other and skipped away. They always looked so innocent…
Sighing, Reina took out her cell phone from her backpack. She checked the previous message that she had sent to the pretty boy about their plans. Smiling, she held the phone to her chest and walked out of the school building.
** ** **
“Here, Sensei,” the tall Chinese girl said, dropping multiple sheets of paper on the teacher’s desk in the staff lounge. “I’m done with the extra work.”
“Already?” the short teacher asked, making a face. “Junjun, it’s only been ten minutes. I told you, an essay of five pages on why you can’t sleep in class, didn’t I?”
“Actually, it’s been seven minutes,” the panda smirked. “And I wrote eight pages. It’s quite analytical, actually. I think it’ll be an enjoyable read, Yaguchi-sensei.”
“Mou, Junjun… there’s really nothing I can do about you,” the blond teacher sighed, collecting the paper and making a straight pile out of it. Every line was filled with neat handwriting; there were absolutely no signs of eraser marks or cross-outs. This student knew what she was doing. “It does look like a pretty good paper.”
“I know it’s a good paper,” the yankii boasted.
“I know you’re not an average student, Junjun,” Yaguchi-sensei said, trying to keep her voice low but also loud enough to talk over the chattering of other teachers. “I don’t know how you can be so good in every subject, but that’s the only reason we, the teachers, put up with you and that gang of yours.”
Rolling her eyes, Junjun started to tune out her teacher’s ranting about her yankii group. As she yawned silently, she noticed a student other than herself in the lounge. The student was talking to the teacher sitting by the desk next to Yaguchi-sensei’s; Junjun could overhear a little bit of their conversation. The girl had long, straight black-hair. She had pale white skin but soft cherry colored lips in contrast. Her round face was kind of cute.
The teacher was asking the girl how her first day at school was; she just nodded in response. Huh. Must be a transfer student. Junjun continued to watch the other girl with interest, a small smile slowly spreading on her lips. The more she looked at the black-haired girl, the more charming she seemed.
“Junjun, are you listening to me?” Yaguchi-sensei snapped, cutting off the panda’s thoughts.
“Yeah, my gang isn’t something the school needs,” Junjun muttered. “But it’s not like we cause any problems on school grounds. In fact, I love this school. It’s a cool place.”
“I’m glad that you think that,” Sensei smiled. “I guess what I’m trying to say is, even if you know all the class material, try to at least look like you’re paying attention?”
“I’ll try,” Junjun sighed.
“Thank you, Li-san,” Yaguchi-sensei beamed with appreciation. “You may go now.”
The Chinese girl bowed to the short teacher as she bid her farewell. She turned around and slowly started to walk towards the door, but glanced sideways at the black-haired girl. It seemed as though her teacher was doing most of the talking while she was just nodding or shaking her head. Junjun smirked, completely entertained by the new-face, and left the staff lounge.
But instead of walking down the hallway, the yankii leader leaned against the wall next to the door. She planned on waiting for the new girl, and talking to her. She was interested enough to see if she was her type. After all, the new girl had already passed the first level regarding physical features.
In no less than a minute, the lounge door slid open and the black-haired girl walked out. She closed the door behind her and turned to where Junjun was. She looked up and gasped, surprised by the unexpected presence. Junjun smiled; the girl looked incredibly cute with her eyes wide open like that while her mouth was in a small “O” shape.
“Oi, Ojou-chan,” the panda greeted, holding up one hand. “Are you new here?”
The black-haired girl didn’t answer. She stared at the Chinese girl for a while before completely ignoring her question and walking around her. Junjun wrinkled her eyebrows and cocked her head from the unexpected and rude reaction. She quickly turned around and caught up to the new student, walking beside her.
“Hey, I asked you a question!” Junjun said. “What’s your name, Ojou-chan? What year are you?”
Yet the black-haired girl still stayed silent. She completely disregarded the yankii beside her and kept on walking. Junjun raised an eyebrow at the peculiar girl’s behavior; was she being shy or just being big-headed? The Chinese girl then noticed which way they were heading, and cleared her throat
“Um, you’re trying to find your way to the shoe lockers, right?” she asked. “Well… we’re going the wrong way.”
That had an effect; the new girl stopped dead in her tracks and looked around the empty hallway. She then took out a folded piece of paper from between her vest and collar shirt. She opened the paper and started to study the school map. Junjun snorted a little but covered her mouth before she could completely laugh out loud; she hadn’t seen anybody in the school actually use the map before. This girl seemed so innocent, yet kind of stubborn to ignore the yankii’s existence like that. But to Junjun, it was merely entertaining.
Finally, the black-haired girl looked up from the map and met eyes with the Chinese girl. She scowled in frustration as she bit down on her bottom lip; she then whipped around and started to march down the other way. Junjun just chuckled and quickly walked after her. The way the new girl’s face had twisted in embarrassment was kind of cute; it only made the yankii want to tease her more.
“Oi, Ojou-chan,” Junjun said, attempting to strike up a conversation again, “Did you just move here? How did you get into Morning Gakuen? Who are your parents? You seem like an ojou-sama.”
“And you’re obviously not,” the black-haired girl finally spoke, stopping in her trails to glare at the yankii. Her black eyes were cold, just like her voice. “Don’t try to associate yourself with me, low class.”
“Ouch, that hurts,” Junjun whistled. “Such cold words shouldn’t come out of such pretty lips.”
“You’re just like any low class person,” the black-haired girl said sharply. “I thought this was a prestigious school, but none of the other girls in my class seemed like a sophisticated lady either. I’m disappointed. Either people like you don’t belong here, or I don’t belong here.”
“Hey, that’s not very nice,” Junjun smirked. She leaned in closer to the new girl’s face to get down to her eye level; the black-haired girl stood her ground as though she was the bigger person. “You seem like the spoiled rich girl type, Ojou-chan. Let me make a suggestion: don’t make enemies with me. If you make me angry, I guarantee that your school life will officially be over. I’m pretty famous in here, you know. And people like me. Ah, but it’s not easy to make me angry either, since I’m a pretty chill person—”
“You think words like that will scare me?” the black-haired girl shot back. “There is no way a person like you would intimidate me; vulgar with absolutely no class. And I don’t need a special school life; just me and myself is enough.”
“Aw, don’t be so mean, Ojou-chan,” Junjun smirked again. “It doesn’t suit your cute face.” She reached out and gently stroked the transfer student’s cheek before her hand was quickly slapped away.
“Don’t touch me!” the girl yelled, turning red with fury. “Like I said: rude with absolutely no class!”
With that, the new girl flipped her hair and stomped off. Junjun just laughed to herself as she watched the black-haired beauty disappear down the stairs. Two short girls were coming up the stairs; they split and made way for the new girl to walk down. The two girls skittered down the hallway towards the yankii.
“Junjun-senpai!” Aika called. “Tanaka-senpai told us that she already had plans for today.”
“Is that so,” Junjun answered monotonously.
“Um, Senpai?” Linlin asked, raising an eyebrow. “What are you staring at?”
“Nothing,” the yankii leader said, grinning. “I was just thinking that I have someone to entertain me now… and a cute one too.” Let’s see how much I can break you down, Ojou-chan… There has to be a winner for every game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 8
The ticking of the clock was deafening in the silent room. It was about half a minute before the last class was officially coming to an end. At this point, no student was paying attention to Takahashi-sensei’s lecture anymore and was instead focusing on the clock. The teacher was well aware of this, but continued writing on the board anyway; her philosophy was that the students were responsible for their own grades, so it was their choice whether to pay attention in class or not.
But there was one student paying attention and furiously copying down the notes on the board; of course, it was none other than the class representative. The only time she took her eyes off the front of the classroom was to glance at her friend next to her. Risa was surprised to find the turtle not asleep for once; instead, she was concentrating on the clock like everybody else while clutching her cell phone. The bean could swear that the way Eri was staring at the clock probably could burn a hole through the wall.
Finally, a silent countdown before the end of class started. Although no one said anything, everybody’s mind was connected at the one moment with a steady time rhythm. The teacher finished up her last bullet of notes and closed the textbook on the podium. Eri started to tap her fingers nervously on her desk, receiving a suspicious look from the bean.
At last, the bell rang throughout the entire school building, indicating the end of another tedious school day. Takahashi-sensei shot a lovely smile at her students as she started to walk out the door.
“Minna-san, good work today!” she said brightly. “I hope you have a good afternoon!”
“Bye Sensei~!” all the boys said in unison, almost drooling like toddlers who had just received candy.
“Bye, Sensei!” all the girls chirped in a less creepy way than the boys.
All the students jumped out of their seats and grabbed their pre-packed bags. As everyone filed out of the classroom, Risa started to leisurely gather her things. Eri shot up from her chair, grabbed her bag, and turned to her friend.
“Um… Risa-chan?”
“Yeah?”
“I, uh… can’t walk home with you today.”
Risa turned her head and raised an eyebrow at the fidgeting turtle. “Does the fact that you spent the class time texting instead of sleeping have to do with this?”
“Um... yeah.”
“Does this have to do with that girl again?” Risa sighed. “What was her name… Tanaka something?”
“Tanaka Reina!” Eri exclaimed, a big smile spreading on lips from just mentioning the kitty’s name. “She told me to meet her at Café Buono at 4 o’clock! I have to go home and change really fast, so I’m going to run all the way.”
“Isn’t that the café that always has those weird events and contests every day?” Risa asked. “Anyway, I’m not in the mood for exercising, so you can go ahead. Have fun and bring some cakes back.”
“Okay! Thanks, Risa!” Eri squealed. She skipped towards the door before the bean suddenly spoke up again.
“Oh, and Eri!”
“Yeah?” the turtle answered, whirling around.
“Don’t ever forget who you are,” Risa warned in a serious tone. “No matter how much like a boy you dress, always remember that you’re a girl, and that you’ll have to tell her some day.”
“I… I know I’m a girl,” Eri said hesitantly, scrunching up her skirt with her fidgeting hands. “And I will tell her someday… just not now.”
“I’m not saying that you have to tell her now,” Risa said quietly. “In fact, I’m not saying anything at all, really. It’s your choice on what to do, but I’m just putting my own opinion out there.”
“Okay,” Eri sighed. “I’ll see you later, Risa.”
“See you.”
As Eri left the classroom, Risa got up from her seat and slung on her backpack. Then, she started to walk around to room to straighten out the desks and chairs. She picked up garbage paper as well as lost pencils and erasers to put them at the front of the classroom for people to find. This job wasn’t required of her as the class representative, but Risa just hated seeing a dirty classroom at the end of the week.
Satisfied with her quick clean-up job, the bean marched to the front of the room towards the door. But before she could leave, something caught her eye. She whipped around to see a red book on the podium, which meant it was the teacher’s. She walked up to the podium to take a closer look, and realized it was Takahashi-sensei’s grade book.
Risa felt a strong urge to open it to see what was in there; after all, it was the book that held all the grades of everyone in the class, including hers. Being the nice teacher Takahashi-sensei was, Risa just assumed that the book would be filled with A-plus everywhere. But still… she was curious.
She quickly looked around to make sure she was the only one in the room. Then, Risa slowly flipped the book open, landing on a vertical list of students’ names. She gasped.
The book was filled with all kinds of terrible grades, even a couple “F”s. Risa checked the horizontal column at the top; each box had a date in it. This teacher graded each student based on their day’s work, and averaged everything for a semester! Risa exhaled sharply, shocked by what a harsh grader Takahashi-sensei really was, despite her outer character.
The name of a certain turtle caught her eye: she had a “B” for the day. It seemed like Sensei went a little easy on her, considering the grades other students who had packed up early and texted in class received. But Eri had that kind of friendly aura; people were easily charmed by her.
Risa’s eyes automatically started to search for a certain name. She finally found it in the long list and pressed her finger on the grade she had received for the day: A-plus. And the only A-plus too. Even Konno Asami, who also ranked in the school’s top 10 along with the bean, had received an “A” because she packed up early. The class representative grinned, satisfied with her grade. So Takahashi-sensei really did take her job seriously, and was a pretty capable teacher too. She wasn’t the type to dawdle off and just give out good grades. Risa started to laugh silently, imagining the reaction of some of the boys in the class after they receive their terrible grades. Maybe they would finally realize that one has to work hard to earn what they want.
Now there was the problem of returning the grade book. Maybe Risa could just leave it there and the teacher would come and find it herself when she realizes she left it behind. After all, the bean didn’t have any special desires to see her history teacher again. But it didn’t seem like much of a chore to go down to the staff lounge either; Takahashi-sensei really didn’t seem half-bad anymore. She wasn’t the type to flirt or just throw out good grades to whoever called her “pretty”. In fact, Risa herself had been kind of rude to her before, but she still got a good grade because she was a good student. The teacher was harsh, but fair.
Deciding that she would be a good class representative, Risa closed the grade book and tucked it under her arm. She left the classroom and walked down the stairs towards the teachers’ lounge. But before she could even set her foot on the first floor, she met her history teacher, rushing back up the stairs.
“Gaki-san!” she greeted, smiling. “You didn’t go home yet?”
“I was about to,” Risa answered. “But… this is yours, right? You left it in the classroom.” She held up the red grade book.
“Oh, I was on my way to get it right now!” the teacher said, taking the book. “Thank you, Gaki-san. You saved me the rest of the trip up the stairs.”
“No problem,” Risa answered simply, not smiling but not frowning either.
“But… did you look inside?”
“Yes— no! No, no! Wait- huh?”
“I guess you did,” the teacher laughed.
Risa looked at the ground as she felt her cheeks burning up. Was the teacher going to yell at her? She didn’t want Takahashi-sensei to be mad at her… No, wait. That’s not the reason; she didn’t want this to affect her grade in a negative way… right?
“You’re a smart girl, Gaki-san,” the teacher grinned, “so I assume you found out my system of grading, yes?”
“… Yes…” the bean mumbled, admitting that she had looked inside the book.
“Well then, would you do me a favor and not tell any of your classmates yet?” The teacher whispered, holding up a finger to her lips. “I think teaching my students the hard way that they have to pay attention in class is a rather good method.” She winked.
“Well, I’m not going to be the one to question your system,” Risa sighed. “But… you’re not going to yell at me?”
“Why would I yell at you?” Ai said, looking confused. “Any other student would’ve done the same if they saw the teacher’s grade book just lying there. And because it was you who looked in the book, I don’t think I mind so much.”
What does she mean by that? Risa thought. She doesn’t mind because I’m the class representative? Or because I’m a good student anyway? Yeah, that must be it…
“I trust you to keep my secret, Gaki-san,” the teacher said, smiling. “But I’m willing to give you some hush money too.”
“Hush money?” Risa shrilled, eyes widening. What the hell is this woman talking about?
“I meant a drink,” the teacher laughed, clearing up the misunderstanding. “I was going to get a coffee from the vending machines; I’ll treat you to something.”
Before Risa could say anything, Ai turned around and started to walk back down the stairs. The bean stared at her teacher for a while before following after her. She wasn’t in any rush to get home anyway; maybe a soda wouldn’t hurt.
The two females reached the vending machines outside the building in the courtyard. Takahashi-sensei handed 150 yen in change to her student, and shoved some more coins from her skirt pocket into the machine. A paper cup popped out and started to fill up with black coffee. Risa popped the change into the vending machine next to the coffee machine, and bought a can of strawberry soda. As she cracked open the can, Takahashi-sensei brought the paper cup to her lips and sipped the hot drink.
“Sensei,” Risa suddenly said, “can I ask you something?”
“You can ask and I’ll try to answer,” the older woman smiled.
“Why did you decide to become a teacher?” the bean asked. “I mean, you’re only 23-years old, which means you’re practically fresh out of college… What made you want to suddenly teach?”
“That’s a good question,” Takahashi-sensei sighed, holding the warm cup with both hands. “But first of all, I’m not fresh out of college. I earned my college degree after two and a half years, because I got credits really quickly. Then, I worked for my teaching license until I came here to Haro Kotogakko.”
“You must’ve done very well in high school,” Risa remarked, surprised by how well her teacher had done academically.
“Actually, I almost flunked out of high school,” the teacher said, laughing when her student’s eyes almost popped out. “I wasn’t exactly a good girl back in the day. My first two years were pretty bad. But I straightened up in my third year and managed to study hard enough to graduate. Then I worked very hard in college to get where I am now.”
“Wow…” Risa breathed, gaining some new respect for her teacher. “That’s actually even more impressive.”
“Thank you,” Takahashi-sensei said, grinning. “So as to why I decided to teach… I guess I wanted to prevent students from going off to the wrong path, like I almost did. Everybody should be able to graduate high school and become who they want to be. I want to help students become a ‘good person’, simply speaking. Of course, things are a lot more complicated than the word ‘good’ but…”
“So if one doesn’t receive proper education,” Risa started, “you think that will lead him or her to become a ‘bad person’?
“There really is no such thing as a ‘bad person’ or a ‘good person’,” the teacher answered. “Just… people who make bad choices or good choices. I only said ‘good and bad person’ to speak in simple terms.”
“So… do you think you’re a good person or a bad person?”
Sensei looked at her student with a blank face. Risa bit down on her lip, wondering if she had asked the wrong question. Then, Takahashi-sensei’s face turned… sad. It was a face filled with sorrow and regret. She smiled a little.
“No doubt,” she whispered, “I’m a very bad person. But I’m a bad person working to be a good person, so I guess I’m improving.”
“Why do you think you’re a bad person?”Ju
“… I’ve made some bad choices in life,” the teacher answered slowly. “Wrong choices, that led to terrible consequences. It’s regretful, but I decided to keep moving forward. Who knows, maybe things will turn out better for me in the future than it did for me in the past.”
“… I don’t think you’re a bad person, Sensei,” Risa said quietly. Ai turned to look at her again with a surprised face; the younger girl just gazed back with honest eyes.
“Thank you, Gaki-san,” the teacher smiled. “You’re a very good person… and I hope you stay that way.”
“I plan to stay that way,” the bean grinned, receiving a laugh from Sensei.
“Good girl,” she complimented, ruffling Risa’s hair. The way she stroked the short strands felt nice; it was warm and comforting, in a way. It was a new feeling, but Risa didn’t hate it. She definitely didn’t hate it at all.

TakaGaki interaction *o*
It always start with a drink XD so let's drink everyone =D
I wonder the same about... Sensei's past O_o...
And don't over work your poor PC or laptop?... Don't be like me XD!
-
Aaawwww... So cute! But... what happened at Ai's past? :? I wanna know >o<...
Now I'm starting to think too much. :panic:
Well I'm gonna travel so I won't read some chapter for a while :cry: yeah I'm gonna miss a lot your fic S:
anyway I'm waiting TanaKame date :cow: :cow:
Peace ~~ :peace:
-
well teachers have a way to motivate and Ai's past is a good indication (i had a teacher like that once exactly the same in fact but Ai is hotter XD)
-
:w00t: Oh yay Risa is a good girl :peace: :monk gboy: :wub:
JunShige seems like going to be an entertaining couple :thumbup
Takagaki :grin: :heart: Tanakame next chapter c'mon! :grin:
-
Wooo!! Some great TakaGaki-ness going on! :wub: Maybe Ai-chan didn't mind Gaki for looking in her grade book because.... :mon innocent: hehe... :inlove:
And the fact that Ai-chan used to be a "bad girl" made this even more interesting! :mon evillaff:
I wonder how "bad" Ai-chan would be when they start dating. :mon mischief:
Awaiting for next chappie of TanaKame. :cow:
-
Hmm, I wonder why Ai says she was bad? Perhaps instead of working hard for her grades in the last year, she slept with her professors and blackmailed them and then something happened to make her feel guilty and she decided to change her ways. Eh, I'm just throwing some thoughts out there, ignore me. :sweatdrop:
-
Wow Eri got a B despite texting in class. Pretty good I would say. Is Takahashi sensei favouring the turtle? :D
Just a question though. Is Risa straight at this moment of the story or she just didn't have any preference yet?
-
Chapter 7: So Jun despite the fact she is a Yankee is actually intellingent and well like, it's an odd character but I like it :twothumbs So Sayu is again a spoiled princess charcter, t seems as though in this fic Jun's character will fight bck against Sayu alot more than in your last fic, I am looking forward to seeing how these two develop....
Chapter 8: Good old Gaki, allways giving sound advice to Eri, sorry Eri but you will have to teell Reina someday...
Gaki seems to be getting more ad more impressed with Ai, I wonder when she will sart to like her? Ai was a bit of a Yankee herself in the past? I wonder if her past will catch up to her at some point? And what was this bad thing tht Ai did, it seems to really affect her :panic:
Aww Gaki things Ai is a good person :wub: and she liked Ai stroking her hair.... :drool:
-
Oh Em Gee :shocked :shocked
sweet TakaGaki scene :luvluv2:
how can aichan be bad? and that nearly flunked out from high school :grr:
-
@kawaii beam: lol I know, I gave my laptop a good night's sleep, so it's a lot faster now XD
@Haruka: LOL that is a legit quote now "It always starts with a drink... so let's drink, everyone" :lol:
@Michi.Pinku: aww~ okay. I'll expect a comment when you get back~ have a nice trip! :D
@kurosawa87: LOL any real teacher beat Aichan in hawtness? I think not XD
@Fushigidane: omg the monkey is EXACTLY what happened in the last chapter :lol:
@kano-chan: omg... you're giving me ideas about how bad Ai should be later... :drool: XD
@rndmnwierd: WOAH that is some guess! It's actually more dramatic than what i had in mind XD
@badsaints: oh, Risa doesn't have a preference. She's such a honor student that she's never been in love. But she's tolerant, seeing that her best friend isn't straight :D
@oddball: Yeah, I'm thinking of different ways the past could catch up with Ai... :P
@fallenxangel: oh we'll see later~ :D
So... yeah, I'm typing madly. I think this is going to be a pretty long chapter, and i think you guys will like it...
Hopefully, it'll be up by tonght :twothumbs
-
All righties. It's posting moment once again. XD School is killing me, literally. However, reading your fanfic gives me a break. :twothumbs
I loved the past few chapters~~
It seems as if Eri is really head over heels over Reina already
This will be super interesting once Reina finds out Eri's true gender
I'm really liking the interaction between TakaGaki
However, I'm unable to see the love yet. :lol:
I'll just have to wait and see how you develop it
Btw, no worries about this fanfic being shorter or not as good as Kokoro. It's totally understandable that the first written fanfic is usually better than the second one. As one writes more, their writing becomes more profound and mature. However, as a writer myself, I always look back and go "ahh..My first fanfic was still the best. I put so much dedication and passion into it."
Update soon. :)
-
Takagaki love! :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

Takahashi-sensei’s lecture anymore and was instead focusing on the clock.
I thought they were focusing and ogling the Aibutt :grin:
“In fact, I’m not saying anything at all, really. It’s your choice on what to do, but I’m just putting my own opinion out there.”
Lovely :)
And because it was you who looked in the book, I don’t think I mind so much.”
:wriggly:
“But I’m willing to give you some hush money too.”
That was an unexpected remark :lol:
“No doubt,” she whispered, “I’m a very bad person. But I’m a bad person working to be a good person, so I guess I’m improving.”
Hmmm
She definitely didn’t hate it at all.
Oh I'm sure she loves it :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 9
Eri started to bob her head up and down to Café Buono’s theme song that flowed out the speakers. She slowly looked around the shop, taking in the cute sights. Mostly everything was white, including the wall, the tables, and the chairs. There were lots of decorations with ribbons and pastel-colored streamers. Three waitresses dressed in matching uniforms with different colors busily moved around the store, attending to their customers. Another thing she noticed was that for some strange reason, there seemed to be a lot of couples in the café today; a boy and a girl sat across from each other at almost every table.
The turtle looked up at the clock on the wall; it was five minutes before the promised time. Obviously, she had come way too early since she had been waiting for about 20 minutes now. Although she did fuss over her outfit, Eri found it a lot less time-consuming to pick out clothes as a boy than as a girl. She was dressed rather simply, but was still presentable. The orange-and-brown plaid collar shirt that she wore over her yellow t-shirt matched well together. She put on some baggy jeans that she had dug out of her closet with high-top sneakers. To top it off, she had made sure that her short hair was ruffled up a little rather than being combed down.
As Eri continued to explore the café with her eyes, somebody entered through the door with the soft chime of bells. It was a petit girl wearing a loose, blue shirt that slipped down at her left shoulders. She matched it well with a beige miniskirt and black boots. She had a blue ribbon headband in her long, straight hair.
“Reina!” Eri called, her right arm shooting up.
The short girl turned around and spotted the waving person. She smiled as she started to walk over to the table. Ah, that smile… Eri could feel her heart warming up with just that smile. She felt as though it was all she needed in life.
“Sorry for being late,” Reina apologized as she slipped into the chair across the turtle.
“No, you’re not late,” Eri said. “I was just early.” A lot early…
“Did you order anything yet?” Reina asked, grabbing the untouched menu on the table. “See anything you like?”
“It’s my first time here, so I’ll just have whatever you have,” Eri answered.
“Okay then,” the kitty smiled. She quickly flipped through the menu and put it down. A black-haired girl wearing a green café uniform with a plaid skirt came to the table.
“Hello,” she greeted with a sweet smile. “I’m Airi, and I’ll be your waitress for today. Are you ready to order?”
“We’ll have two servings of manju and two taro bubble tea,” Reina said, handing the menu to the server.
“I’ll be right out with that,” Airi said. She walked away into the curtain that concealed the kitchen.
“You come here often, don’t you?” Eri questioned, noticing the way her friend had swiftly ordered without even taking a clear look at the menu.
“When I have time,” Reina answered, resting her chin on her hands. “This place has a nice atmosphere to it. Everything is so innocent and cute… It makes me feel like I’m innocent and cute too.”
“You are innocent,” Eri said, resting her elbows on the table to lean in a little closer. “And you are cute.”
“You’re quite the sweet-talker,” Reina laughed, pleased with the compliment. “But I’m not so sure about the first part.”
“Innocent?” Eri asked. “You seem pretty pure to me, though.”
“Are you sure?” the kitty smirked, narrowing her eyes a little. “You don’t know who I was, or what I did in the past. Maybe I’ve even been in jail.”
“I could say the same thing about myself,” Eri grinned, feeling daring.
“Ah~ you’re getting good at this, pretty boy,” Reina said, giggling.
“I have to, if I want to get a word in when talking to you,” the turtle replied, liking her new sense of bravery in front of the girl she liked.
Reina laughed again as their waitress came back with a silver tray. She placed two cups of bubble tea on the table, but only one plate of manju.
“I’m terribly sorry,” the girl named Airi apologized, “but we’re currently out of the manju. We’re making more at the moment, so please bare with us.”
“Oh, one plate is fine then,” Reina said. “We can share.”
Nodding gratefully, the waitress flitted away to serve other costumers. Reina took the small fork in front of her and started to carefully cut one of the two manjus in half.
“You can just have it, Reina,” Eri said. “I’m okay with just the tea.”
“No, I want you to try it,” the kitty said.
She continued on with the careful cutting until the fork broke through the chewy outer part and into the sweet inner part. She stabbed the fork through one of the half and held it out to her friend. Eri reached for the fork but Reina took it away, and then held it towards her again.
“Just eat,” she ordered, grinning.
Blushing a little at the fact that the girl she liked was feeding her, Eri slowly opened her mouth and bit half of the manju. The chewiness of the mochi dough complimented well with the sweetness of the azuki bean paste. Reina took the leftover bitten half of the manju into her own mouth, and started to chew delightfully. They two girls swallowed at the same time.
“It tastes really good,” Eri commented. “I didn’t know traditional sweets could still be… well, sweet.”
“It’s a lot healthier than modern desserts too,” Reina remarked.
Suddenly, the kitty reached out and touched Eri’s lips with her middle finger. The turtle froze as her head started to process Reina’s action. The petit girl smiled as she took the finger away and held it up to reveal some white flour on the tip of her fingers.
“You had a little something there,” she smiled. She licked off the powder with the tip of her tongue, causing the turtle to blush again.
“Um… Thanks,” she mumbled. Oh, she knew she was wrapped around her fingers…
“No worries,” Reina answered, smirking as she watched the turtle turn a slight shade of pink.
“All costumers, attention please!”
A cute voice rang through the speakers of the café as the music got cut off. Everyone turned to the source of the voice on the small stage at the far wall of the shop. A girl in a pink café uniform stood with a big smile, holding a mic. There was a taller girl next to her with long, golden hair wearing a red uniform.
“Konnichiwa, minna-san, Momoko desu~!” the short girl exclaimed, eliciting claps and cheers from the costumers. “It’s time for today’s Café Buono special contest!”
“Oh, today must be an event day!” Reina exclaimed, as Eri started to remember Risa’s words about the “weird café”. “I wonder what kind of contest they’re holding.”
“We see that a lot of you came here today with the knowledge of what contest today will be,” the cute girl continued. “But those of you who came here by chance, today’s contest is going to be a Best Couple Contest!”
Eri gasped as she started to realize why they were so many couples present at the café today: they had all come for this contest! The turtle couldn’t help but wonder if she and Reina looked like a couple right now too… she couldn’t help but worry about whether she looked like a boy. Wait… had Reina known about this contest? Did she purposely ask the turtle to meet her here? Eri looked at the shorter girl across from her; the ex-yankii’s eyes were fixed on stage, simply She probably didn’t know…
“Now, Miyabi,” the girl called Momoko said to her friend, “please explain the rules for us!”
“Here is what’s happening,” the tall girl in the red uniform started. “There will be three rounds: for the boys, then the girls, then a joint trial. Couples will be eliminated after each round into semi-final five couples, then final three couples.
“We also have prizes prepared for the final three couples!” Momoko cut in. “The first place couple will receive two free tickets to the amusement park. The second place couple will receive two tickets to the aquarium. And the third place couple will receive tickets to the movies!”
“Think you have what it takes to be the Best Couple?” Miyabi grinned. “Then come on down to the stage!”
A commotion broke out from the crowd immediately as various boyfriends and girlfriends started to get up to participate. Eri relaxed her shoulders and started to sip her bubble tea, until Reina shot up from her seat while slamming her hand down on the table.
“Reina?” Eri squeaked, taken by surprise by the kitty’s sudden action.
“Eri, the first place prize is tickets to the amusement park!” Reina squealed. “I haven’t been there in forever! Come on, let’s participate!”
Before Eri could say anything, the kitty dragged her off the chair and onto the stage. The turtle fidgeted a little, worried that people might realize she was not a boy. But nobody seemed to think the latter; after all, how many girls in the world dressed up as a guy to win the heart of the person they loved? But Eri was still nervous, also because of the fact that Reina was standing right next to her, holding her hand. She couldn’t shake off the giddy feeling of joy that they were viewed as a couple at the moment by everybody in the store.
“The first trial will be a test of strength for the boyfriends!” Momoko announced. “Your mission is to run a lap around the block as fast as you can and try to get within the top five. There is a mid checkpoint, where you’ll receive a stamp from Airi, so you can’t take shortcuts!”
“Now that everyone knows the rules, let’s all head outside!” Miyabi yelled.
Before Eri could fully comprehend the exact situation, she found herself being pushed along with the large crowd of couples towards the exit. The atmosphere was at its highest tension with excitement. Before she could be separated from the turtle in the midst of the commotion, Reina linked her arms with Eri’s and pressed herself tightly against the “boy”. Eri couldn’t help but blush a little as the ex-yankii just smiled.
Soon enough, all the boyfriends participating in the Best Couple Contest were lined up by the door, getting ready to run. Their girlfriends and other bystanders cheered loudly. Eri nervously eyed the other guys, who glanced at her and smirked or scoffed.
“Watch out, little guy,” a buff teenager said next to the turtle. “You just might get stepped on.”
Eri shivered at those words. She was actually a pretty fast runner between the other girls in her school… but would she be able to outrun all these guys? She inhaled and exhaled a couple times to steady her breath as her heart pounded wildly.
“All boyfriends ready?” Momoko called, holding up a pink flag in her hand. “On your mark… get set…”
As the turtle started to concentrate, she heard a single voice that stood out from the rest of the yelling.
“Eri, GANBARE!” Reina cheered. “YOU CAN DO IT!”
“GO!”
The pink flag waved in the air as Eri perked up. Just that small encouragement was enough to get her going; anything for the girl she loved, right?
Eri didn’t hold back one bit; she sent her legs in a fast cycle of motion at full speed, easily passing at least half the other boys. They had more muscle were stronger, but she was lighter and faster. The turtle quickly dashed around the corner, not doing her nickname justice. At a certain point, she could make out a girl in a green café uniform, standing in the sidewalk while holding up a stamp. A couple guys in front of her stopped to get their hand stamped. Eri did the same.
“There you go!” the black-haired girl said, stamping the café’s logo onto the turtle’s hand. “Now head to the finish line, Kareshi-kun!”
Eri mumbled a quick thank you and continued running. Beads of sweat started to trickle down the side of her face. She could feel the drops of perspiration down her back and on her stomach. The chest binding that she was wearing felt heavy and sticky as she started to breathe harder. She needed to run faster. She had to win!
Remembering the voice of a certain kitten, Eri picked up the pace and passed by a couple of other guys. Soon enough, she saw the finish line where Momoko and Miyabi were standing on either side. The cheer of the crowds awaited her and the other contestants. The turtle ran as fast as she could, shutting her eyes tightly, before she felt herself coming into a semi-circle of people and collapsed to the ground. A loud cheer erupted from the audience.
“Great job, Fifth place-san! You just made the cut!” a cute voice congratulated.
“Wait, Momo, he doesn’t look so good!” the other waitress said. “Someone get him a water bottle!”
Eri continued to breathe heavily has her eyes fluttered open and close. Every breath she took scratched her dry throat, causing her to wheeze. Her muscles felt paralyzed with exhaustion as she tried to differentiate oxygen from the other types of gases in the atmosphere.
Suddenly, a cool sensation started to fall down on her head. The turtle immediately looked up with a loud yelp as her face was met with cold water. Desperate for a drink, Eri opened her mouth wide to let in whatever liquid she could have, whether it was through her mouth or her nose. When the waterfall disappeared, Eri coughed a little bit before looking up to the person who had just rewarded her.
“Impressive, pretty boy,” Reina laughed as she threw down the empty bottle of water and immediately started to open another one. She crouched down and held the plastic bottle out to the turtle, who immediately took it and started to chug it down. “Woah, slow down there. Nobody wants to steal your water.”
As soon as those words were said, Eri choked on the cold drink and started to cough. Reina just laughed and reached out to reorganize Eri’s messy, wet hair. But the turtle backed away a little.
“It’s okay, you don’t have to touch me right now,” she said in a hoarse voice. “I’m all sweaty anyway…”
“You think I care about things like that?” Reina smirked.
This time, she reached out both hands and secured Eri’s face in between her palms. She tapped her forehead against the turtle’s, making Eri’s eyes grow wide and her cheeks blush.
“I’m proud of you, Eri,” she grinned. “Since we’re in the Top 5 to move on to the next round, I’ll do my best for you too. Okay?”
“Ha… Yeah… um… okay,” Eri mumbled, unable to form coherent words. Reina’s beautiful face was just too close; the faint scent of flowers wafted around her nose. It was hard for Eri to believe that she could be this close to such a cute girl… and it was unbelievable how it just felt so right.
** ** **
“We present to you your Top 5 couples!”
A loud cheer came from the audience as well as lots of clapping. The five couples smiled as they clung onto each other’s lover. Eri’s cheeks stayed a pink as she constantly felt overly aware of the kitty dangling on her left arm.
After the running competition, all but five couples were eliminated from the contest. The runners were given more water and some time to rest before they were asked to stand on stage again for the next round. All the audience members sat in the tables and booths; there were even more people watching than before, for the first round race had convinced them to stick around the café to see the final results of the contest.
“It is time to start the second round!” Momoko announced through the microphone. “This time, it will be a trial for the girlfriends. No matter what anyone says, the most important thing for a girl is to have their own charm to appeal. So that is your mission; each girl will come up and stand in front of the center mic stand and say or do something to lure in the hearts of all the males sitting in the café!”
“Whether you’re the cute type or the mature type, make sure to show all of your character!” Miyabi added on.
“So let us start!” Momoko exclaimed. “First girlfriend, please come to the center!”
And so, each girl came up to the microphone and said a little something. One tried to act cute by pronouncing every word like a baby. Another tried to talk dirty, which kind of worked on the males but gained the hatred of the females in the audience. All throughout the other girls’ trials, Eri couldn’t help but continue to wonder what Reina was going to do to appeal herself.
“You’re up next,” the turtle whispered. “Are you ready?”
“Uh… just give me a minute,” Reina mumbled, looking panicked. “I’m thinking…”
Eri looked at the kitty in confusion as the petit girl tightened her grip around the “boy’s” arm. Of course the ex-yankii was worried. She didn’t know how to be cute, or mature. She had never really tried to appeal herself as a girl before… And now she had to carry out this mission in front of the entire café.
“And now, the final girlfriend!” Miyabi announced. “Please come forward!”
Reina swallowed hard as she released herself from her turtle friend. She slowly walked up to the microphone and looked around. Everybody was staring at her, as if to analyze her. Feeling nervous, Reina just said the first thing that came to her mind, completely releasing her true character.
“Whatcha y’all lookin’ at?!” she growled, in some sort of dialect. All the eyes in the audience popped wide open at the sudden harsh words. Eri raised an eyebrow, confused. Reina gasped, realizing what she had just said. She quickly acted to cover up her mistake. “No, I was just kidding! Mite…” She placed her hands together slightly under her chin and tried to look as innocent as possible. The crowd was silent for a while, before they broke out into loud cheering and whistling.
“Wow, a tsundere concept!” Momoko squealed. “That was impressive, Kanojo Number 5!”
“Uh… yeah… that was it… tsundere…” Reina mumbled, laughing nervously. Well, it wasn’t what she was exactly going for, but it seemed to have a good effect.
The ex-yankii quickly sidestepped out of the spotlight and back to her “boyfriend’s” side. She linked her arms with Eri’s again and looked up.
“How was that?” she whispered.
“… Don’t do that in public again,” Eri mumbled, keeping her head down.
“Why not?” Reina asked, raising an eyebrow. “Was it that bad?”
“No! It was… it was cute but… just don’t do it in public again…” All those people are looking at you now with different eyes. I don’t like that!
“Okay, I won’t do it again,” Reina promised. She didn’t really care too much about what Eri’s reasoning was. She didn’t really want to do such an embarrassing thing in public again anyway.
** ** **
“Ladies and Gentlemen,” Momoko announced, “these are your Top 3 Couples!”
A loud applause elicited from the crowd, congratulating the final three girls and boys. The first couple was a teenage couple, just like the turtle and the kitten (except for the fact that they were probably really going out and one of them was really a boy…). The second couple seemed little older, maybe college students. And the third couple was none other than Eri(ku) and Reina.
“Now the final trial will be given!” Miyabi announced. “This round will be judged by Momoko, Airi, and myself as well as the audience members! It will determine which prize goes to which couple!”
“Your trial,” Airi started, smiling, “is to kiss each other!”
A wave of excited murmurs and whistling spread through the crowd. The first couple blushed a little while the elder second couple just smiled. The last (fake) couple gasped as their eyes grew wide.
“It doesn’t matter who initiates the kiss,” Momoko explained, “but it must be on the lips! Your mission is to show a “Loving Kiss”; that’s your theme!”
“Let us feel the sweetness of your love,” Miyabi grinned. “You need to take all of us to the place that only exists between you two!”
“Yume no sekai e tsurettete~” Airi sang dreamily.
“So without further ado,” Momoko announced, “the first couple please!”
The two teenagers stepped up to the middle of the stage and faced each other. Neither of them seemed too sure of what to do. They both blushed as they met eyes. The guy said something about not being able to kiss her in public, that it was too embarrassing.
All the while, Eri could only silently think about what she and Reina were going to do. Would they really be able to kiss? Would Reina mind? Eri herself certainly didn’t mind, that was one fact. Would they be able to fake it somehow? But it was on the lips… And worst of all, Reina still didn’t know that Eri was a girl. Would it be wrong to kiss her when Reina still didn’t know one of the most important things about her?
A loud squeal broke Eri out of her thoughts. She focused on the young couple in the middle of the stage; the girl had daringly pulled her boyfriend’s collar to herself and pecked him on the lips. The crowd was practically melting from the young lovers’ cuteness.
“That was adorable!” Momoko squealed, practically jumping up and down. “Next couple please~!”
The two college students boldly stepped up to center stage as Eri became preoccupied with her own thoughts again. What should she do? She was the “guy” at the moment, so she would be the one to initiate the kiss, right? But then again, Reina wasn’t the type of girl to wait around; she was the type to take matters into her own hand. But they weren’t even going out…
“EXCUSE ME!” Miyabi shouted, making Eri jump back into reality again. “That’s enough, please step down!”
The two “mature” lovers had started off with a sweet kiss which satisfied the audience enough. But their interaction had started to grow and they had eventually started to make out in a non-PG way on stage. As Miyabi and Airi pulled them away from the spotlight, along with the groans from the crowd, Momoko quickly spoke into her microphone.
“Our final couple, please take the stage!” she said, trying to sound perky.
Eri and Reina slowly staggered towards the center. They both turned to face each other; Reina’s face was expressionless as she looked up at the “boy”. Eri’s face was tilted down towards the kitty but her eyes were flickering from left to right, not sure of what to do.
Why isn’t she saying anything? Eri thought, biting her bottom lip. Does she mind if we kiss? Or is she expecting me to already know that we shouldn’t kiss?
“Um… please carry out the trial swiftly,” Miyabi said, laughing shakily.
You know what? Eri thought, clenching her teeth. This is a contest, and Reina wants to win! And if she wants to win, then I’m going to kiss her, no matter what her reaction is going to be! And this may be my one and only chance to kiss her…
With that decision, the turtle placed her hand under the petit girl’s chin and tilted her head up, allowing Reina’s eyes to widen. She placed her hand gently on the kitty’s shoulder and leaned in closer to her face. The flowery scent of the shorter girl wafted around her nose. As Eri slowly started to close her eyes, she noticed that Reina’s eyes were already closed, giving her the signal to go.
… This isn’t right, Eri thought suddenly, frowning a little. We aren’t even going out and I’m supposed to be the guy here. What if this is her first kiss? Reina would be sacrificing such a precious moment for a stupid contest, and to a guy who isn’t even her boyfriend. I’m not going to be the selfish one.
With that, Eri leaned in closer until she placed a gentle kiss, right at the corner of Reina’s lips. The audience let out a groan of dissatisfaction, as they had been looking forward to an actual lip-lock. The turtle backed away as the kitty opened her eyes again, looking surprised.
“I’m sorry, the rules are that you have to kiss her on the lips…” Momoko said into her microphone.
“Give me that,” Eri ordered, snatching the mic from Miyabi’s hand. “I’m sorry for breaking the rule, everyone. But the truth is, we haven’t been going out for very long.” Yeah, zero days and zero minutes. “And I didn’t want to kiss my girlfriend in front of all these people when I wasn’t sure if we were even comfortable kissing at all. I won’t do anything that Reina will regret.”
A wave of “aw”s and chuckling traveled through the audience. The three café waitresses smiled as Airi broke out into a line of, “Anata no koe ni tsuiteyuku~” from the same song she had sang before. Eri looked down at the shorter girl who was blushing a little; she immediately dropped her head down to the floor and attached herself to Eri’s right arm, eliciting another satisfied murmur from the crowd.
“Well, I think that certainly shows the potential of being the Best Couple,” Momoko giggled. “But unfortunately, rules are rules, so…”
“Couple #1 will be the Best Couple!” Airi announced. “Followed by Couple #3 and Couple #2!”
The two teenage lovers blushed as the girl covered her mouth. The college students started to mumble about the public not knowing true expressions for love. Eri smiled a little and looked down at Reina next to her, who still refused to show her face that was now bright red.
** ** **
“Two aquarium tickets,” Reina said, holding up two strips of paper up into the sky. “They’re not amusement park tickets, but they’re still cool enough.”
She whirled around and started to walk backwards in order to face Eri. The turtle had a sad smile. The two teenagers were now on their way back to their respective homes. Eri had a box of cake in one hand from Risa’s request.
“I’m sorry we couldn’t get first place,” She sighed. “I know how much you wanted to go to the amusement park.”
“It’s okay,” Reina grinned. “I still got something good out of it.”
She winked which caused the turtle to slightly blush. What could Reina mean by that? Was she talking about the non-lip-lock kiss from before?
“But it is a shame,” the kitty sighed. “We could’ve gotten first place…”
She stopped in her tracks and walked back to stand right in front of Eri, who had to tilted her back a little because the short girl was so close. Reina smiled and put her index finger on her own lips.
“You know,” she started, “you could’ve just kissed me right here. I wouldn’t have minded.”
“… Really?” Eri asked, raising both her eyebrows. I wish she hadn’t told me that… now I’m kind of regretting it…
“Why, do you regret it now?” Reina smirked, reading the turtle’s mind. “Then shall I give you one more chance?”
The petit girl reached out and secured Eri’s face between her hands. She craned her neck up to make their noses touch; Eri’s eyes widened as her cheeks grew hotter. Reina leaned and closer and closer and suddenly blew a puff of air onto the turtle’s lips, causing her breath to hitch. The kitty smirked.
“Just kidding,” she whispered. She quickly turned around and skittered down the street. She waved as she looked back. “Mata ne!”
As Reina disappeared around the corner, Eri stood frozen at her spot, unable to even blink. She could still feel the petit girl’s breathe on her face and the softness of her hands on her cheeks… And back at the café, Eri had thought that she was in charge for once because of the way Reina had blushed. But the kitty had completely turned the tables with this teasing of hers.
Well, there’s always next time… right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 10
“Kameha, are you listening to me?”
“Huh? What?”
Eri blinked a couple times and turned her eyes to her friend, who had waved her hand in front of the turtle’s face to get her attention.
“I said, thanks for the cake!” Risa repeated in an annoyed tone. “Have you been listening to anything I said for the past 10 minutes?”
“Uh... did it involve the cake?” Eri guessed, smiling nervously.
“Yeah, for the past 30 seconds,” Risa said flatly. “What are you thinking about?”
The turtle sighed as she hugged her knees to her chest. She was curled up on her sofa, leaving the cake she had bought from Café Buono untouched on the coffee table. Risa was sitting on the floor while facing her friend, fully enjoying the sweetness of her own share of the dessert.
“Just… stuff,” Eri answered vaguely, eliciting an unsatisfied grunt from her friend.
“That doesn’t give me much,” the bean complained. “Tell me, what’s going on? Did something happen between you and that Reina girl?”
“Well…” the turtle hesitated. “We almost kissed.”
“… EHHH?”
Risa’s eyes almost popped out of her head as she dropped her fork onto the floor. Eri blushed as she eyed the dropped utensil. Catching the drift, the bean quickly picked up her fork and grabbed a napkin from the table to wipe off the blob of cream that had gotten on the floor.
“You don’t need to be that surprised,” Eri mumbled. “It’s not like we actually did kiss.”
“But you said ‘almost’!” Risa yelled, obviously overreacting. “Tell me everything that happened!”
And so, the turtle went on to talk about Café Buono’s Best Couple Contest, and how she and Reina had entered. She talked briefly about the first and second round, but she mostly informed the bean about the last round. She told her how she was going to kiss the kitty, but then changed her mind for a good reason.
“You made the right choice,” Risa commented, taking some more cake into her mouth after wiping her fork clean. “That was a pretty gentlemanly thing to do, Kameha.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment, seeing the situation I’m in now,” Eri grumbled.
She then went on to talk about how Reina had teased her before she left. Risa dropped her fork one more time which triggered a repetition of the turtle’s glare, and the bean having to clean the floor again.
“That’s really…” Risa started, unable to get a correct adjective, “unexpected.”
“That doesn’t even cover it,” Eri sighed, tightly bounding her legs in her arms.
“Well, she’s definitely got you wrapped around her fingers,” the bean chuckled. “I don’t think she’s just playing with you, though. She wouldn’t get that close with you if she’s not serious enough.”
“Not in Reina’s case,” Eri disagreed, shaking her head. “She can be really mysterious, you know? She can read my mind like a book but I can never understand her…”
“That’s just you being an aho, Kameha.”
“Thanks, Risa-chan, that makes me feel so much better.”
Eri rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue at the grinning bean. Risa shoved the last piece of cake into her mouth and licked her fork clean before putting it down. She let out a satisfied sigh as she leaned back a little to balance on her two hands.
“I’m sorry, Kameha, but I really don’t know what to say to you,” she said, shrugging. “I’ve never met the girl, so I can’t really agree or disagree with your point. The best advice I can give you is—”
“To tell the truth,” Eri finished, grumbling. “I know, I know…”
“If you know, then do what you think is best!” Risa encouraged. “I mean, if you have such strong feelings for her, than there must be something about you that she likes, considering she’s not ignoring your texts or anything.”
“I guess you’re right…” Eri sighed, still worried. “I’ll try to find the right time… or something.”
“Hey, it’s your business.”
Risa stretched her body before she picked up her empty plate and got up. She walked to the kitchen and placed it in the sink as she turned the faucet.
“You can just leave it,” Eri called before the bean could wet her hands. “I’ll wash it with my breakfast dishes tomorrow.”
“Oh, okay.”
Risa quickly obliged as she turned the water off and returned to the living room. She pounced on the sofa and hugged a cushion to her chest as she leaned back on one armrest while facing the turtle.
“So,” Eri started, “what did you do after I left school today?”
“Nothing too interesting,” the bean yawned. “I cleaned the classroom, had a drink with Takahashi-sensei, and I stopped by at the bookstore because—”
“Wait, what?” the turtle interrupted, blinking furiously. “Did you just say you had a drink with Takahashi-sensei?”
“Uh… yeah,” Risa answered, raising her eyebrow at her friend’s peculiar reaction. “She bought me a soda while she drank coffee… Is there something wrong that?”
“No, nothing’s wrong,” Eri quickly said. “It’s just… I mean… I thought you hated Takahashi-sensei?”
“I don’t hate Sensei!” the bean denied, her voice getting a little louder. She cleared her throat and started again. “I mean, I was a little doubtful at first, I guess… But I talked to her a little today. She seems like a good person.”
The process of that day’s afternoon replayed in the bean’s head. The way Takahashi-sensei had bought her the drink, the way she had smiled, the way she had stroked her hair…
Why would she say she’s a bad person? Risa thought. What could she have done that was so terrible? But her hands were too warm… She’s definitely not a bad person.
“Do I see the judgmental Risa-chan improving as a human?” Eri giggled.
“Since when do you base your facts on humanity?”
“Or maybe I’m just seeing an average girl in love~” the turtle cooed. “That’s a simpler explanation.”
“Are you kidding me?” Risa yelled, slightly blushing. “There’s no way I could be in love with Sensei! I would know if I was, and I’m not.”
“How would you know?” Eri challenged, grinning. “You’ve never been in love before. Even when other kids had crushes on you back in elementary school, you didn’t even take one glance at them.”
“I think I still know myself well enough, Kameha,” Risa shot back, rolling her eyes. “Look, it’s nothing like that. I’m just more approving of Sensei; that’s all.”
“Uh-huh~” the turtle smirked. “I understand~”
“You’re hopeless,” Risa groaned.
As Eri continued to giggle and quietly tease her friend, the bean could only think about the riddle in her head.
What makes a good person ‘good’?
And what makes a bad person so ‘bad’…?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Short, but necessary, I think. :D
We needed some GakiKame friendship moments in there :wub:
:byebye: :sleep:
-
that was kinda fun to talk about Reina and sensei, although I think Eri is just walking into the unexpected and might get hurt, oh well Reina should be more up front with her feelings
-
Because you like comments :D:
Is there Junshige in this fic :? I forgot. XD It might have been some other fic. :P
I wanna know Reina's reaction to Eri being a girl :w00t: :inlove:
Also
excited to read more Takagaki cuteness :D
-
Friendship moments are good too, especially since it gives them more insight into each other's problems and us into what they think when the dust settles.
-
“You made the right choice,” Risa commented, taking some more cake into her mouth after wiping her fork clean. “That was a pretty gentlemanly thing to do, Kameha.”
See Risa is also confused by it all :lol:
Hmm Risa might be right, Eri will have to tell Reina at some point, why do I get the feeling she won't do this however :P
Aww Risa getting al defensive about Ai :wub: Eri was joking about Risa liking Ai but I think she figured what was going through Risa's mind even if she did so unintentionally...
-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 11
“That’s a terrible picture, Mittsi, you better delete it.”
“But why~ I think you look fine, Jun-senpai…”
Aika stuck out her bottom lip and pouted as Junjun shot a stern glare at her. Linlin just grinned next to her girlfriend, knowing that the current mini argument was not such a serious one.
“You took it while I was talking,” the panda snapped. “You know how much I hate that.”
“But that’s what makes the picture so much more natural!” Aika squealed. She whipped around to the shorter Chinese girl and held up the camera. “Linlin, say something!”
“I love you, Mittsi!” the short-haired girl exclaimed as the camera flash popped in her face.
“Ah, this one came out so nicely too!” Aika giggled, looking at the picture of her girlfriend with a big grin and her hands up to her chest in the shape of a heart. “Oh, and I love you too~”
“Stop being so corny in public,” Junjun grinned. “What am I going to do with you two…”
The three girls continued to walk down the school hallway as the rest of the students moved out of their way. Determining that Aika’s photo fest was over, Junjun naturally slid into her original position in the middle as the two kouhais stepped back, flanking their group leader. The older panda nodded along to the girls in the hallway who waved or expressed some sort of greeting towards her. Although these three girls were yankiis, they didn’t terrorize their own school in any way, especially after Junjun came to power. In fact, the leader preferred to describe her group has the protectors of her school. Since she was smart as well as mature and reliable, the teachers didn’t bother with them as much as they did while Reina was in power. Because of the panda’s gentle and social nature, she was quite popular amongst the students at Morning Gakuen as well.
Suddenly, Junjun spotted a familiar girl in front of her, a couple feet away. She had long black hair that stretched down the back of her ironed uniform. She made a turn and entered a classroom, revealing the side of her face in the process. The panda’s curious expression turned into a smirk as she realized who it was. She started to debate in her mind whether to make a move or not; deciding that this was almost a golden opportunity, Junjun chose to go on the hunt.
She marched up to the door of the classroom and discovered that it was for 2nd years. So the black-haired new girl was in the same grade as her… Aika and Linlin raised their eyebrows and stared at their leader.
“Um, senpai?” Linlin started. “This isn’t your classroom…”
“Forget classroom,” Aika continued. “Lunch period isn’t even over yet. Let’s go do something else.”
“No, I have something I need to take care of,” Junjun grinned. “You guys can wait out here and watch if you want.”
With that, the tall panda slid the door open and took a step in. The girls in the classroom turned around and let out a couple squeals and gasps as they realized who their visitor was. Some called out a casual greeting, to which Junjun responded to with a wave or a smile.
“Junjun!” one girl exclaimed, skittering towards the Chinese girl. “Long time, no see!”
“Yeah, it’s been a while, Chii-chan,” the panda grinned.
“You seem well, Jun!” another girl smiled, also standing up.
“You too, Ume-chan,” the panda responded again.
“What brings you to our classroom, Junjun?” another girl said, giggling. “Was it because you missed me~?”
“Sorry, Megu, I have a different business today,” Junjun smirked.
She turned and shot a quick glance towards her followers at the door, who were still merely staring at their leader with a confused expression. The panda then scanned the room quickly and smiled when she spotted the one she had been looking for. The black-haired girl was glaring at her as though looks could kill; she was definitely less than excited to see the yankii again.
“Yo~ Ojou-chan!” Junjun called, swaggering over to the transfer student’s desk and bending down a little to face the upset girl. “So you’re in this class, huh? I guess we’re in the same year, then.”
“Jun, you know the new girl?” the girl called Megumi asked.
“Depends on your definition of the word, ‘know’,” the yankii grinned. “She won’t tell me her name so would somebody else mind telling me instead?”
“That’s rude,” Chinami scolded the new girl, who glared back. “You should introduce yourself properly when you meet someone. Junjun, her name is Michishige Sayumi.”
“Michishige Sayumi?” Junjun smiled. “That’s a cute name.”
She waited for some sort of response from the black-haired girl, but she kept her gaze down on her empty desk, refusing to interact with the other girls.
“Don’t pay attention to her, Junjun,” Megumi sighed. “She’s really antisocial.”
“You’re not going to make friends here if you keep acting like that, Shige-chan,” the girl called Ume-chan warned.
“Oh whatever, Erika, she can do whatever she wants,” Chinami rolled her eyes. “Jun, we should go hang out sometimes again! We all kind of miss you~”
As the cute girl smiled and linked her arms with the panda, the other two girls also started to chatter at high-speed, trying to flirt with their visitor. Having had enough, the new girl slammed her hands down on her desk and got up. As the rest of the class watched with wide eyes, Sayumi stormed out of the classroom, pushing Aika and Linlin away in the process.
“She’s so rude!” Chinami huffed. “It’s a shame, since she has such a cute face…”
“It’s okay, we don’t need her,” Megumi grinned.
“I might take you up on that…” the panda mumbled.
“What?”
“Oh, nothing,” Junjun quickly smiled, hiding all emotions. “I’m sorry, but you’ll have to excuse me, girls. I’m on a mission.”
“Ooh~ mission!” Chinami giggled. “Sounds mysterious.”
“Call us whenever you feel like hanging out,” Erika said, winking.
Junjun nodded at each girl and swiftly left the room. As soon as she reached the hallway, Aika and Linlin fell back into their ranks again. But Junjun held up one hand and shook her head, indicating that she was going on this “mission” alone.
The panda quickly jogged down the hallway after the black-haired girl, who showed no signs of slowing down. Junjun had to grab Sayumi’s arm and whirl her around to finally get her attention.
“Hey, will you wait up?” the panda said. “I just wanted to say hi.”
“Hi,” Sayumi said. She pulled her arm out of Junjun’s grasp. “Good-bye.”
As the black-haired girl turned again, something dropped on the ground. Before Sayumi could reach for it, Junjun quickly picked it up first. It was a white cell phone, covered with little sticker decorations of bunnies. Her key was also the head of a fluffy bunny. Intrigued, Junjun flipped open the cell phone and held it up a little in the air so Sayumi couldn’t reach. The screensaver was a picture of a stuffed rabbit.
“Bunny again?” the panda laughed. “You know, Ojou-chan, I have a better nickname for you now. I think I’ll call you Usa-chan.”
“Give me that!” Sayumi growled, snatching her phone away and tucking it away inside her uniform pocket, blushing. “And don’t you try to be familiar with me, low-class.”
“Ouch, what’s with that social status excuse again?” Junjun smirked. “I just like making new friends, that’s all.”
“You mean new friends with benefits,” Sayumi growled. “I hear what those girls talk about in class. And it’s repulsive! You’re the type of person that doesn’t care who is in bed with you, as long as it’s another girl. It’s disgusting!”
“Hey, they may be friends with benefits but we’re not sex friends. You’re going overboard there, Usa-chan.”
Junjun pouted as she took a step closer to the new girl. Sayumi backed away until she hit the wall.
“Don’t come closer!”
“Were you jealous of those girls, Usa-chan?” Junjun smirked. “If you want, I can become your friend too…”
“As if!”
Sayumi raised her right hand as if to slap the panda’s face but Junjun grabbed her wrist before she could do so. The bunny struggled to break free but the yankii was obviously stronger; she leaned in close to her ear and whispered.
“Relax, Usa-chan, it was a joke,” she chuckled. Then, her voice grew more serious. “But I suggest you don’t make me angry. There’s a limit to my patience.”
Junjun smirked and nibbled the new girl’s ear gently as she lightly flicked her tongue over Sayumi’s skin. The bunny gasped as she pushed the taller girl Unconsciously, her free left hand flew up and slapped Junjun across the face. Then, without another word, she ran down the hallway, down the stairs, and disappeared.
The panda rubbed her right cheek that was turning red now. Her two kouhais appeared behind her. Aika whistled.
“Looks like you just got rejected, Jun-senpai,” she snickered. “I’m sorry, but that was a major burn. The girl’s got spunk.”
“Well, we can’t have the rejection just lying there,” Junjun grinned, flexing her jaws. “It ruins my record.”
“You mean your record of getting every girl you ever hit on?” Linlin questioned. “You know, I’m still not sure if that’s something to take pride in.”
“Aside from my record,” Junjun continued, “the new girl is interesting. I think I’m the loser in our little battle today…”
But I won’t lose next time, Usa-chan. Rabbits are fast; but once they get caught, they can never escape.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That took a while; sorry about that... I got a little nap in today, and hopefully, I'll get some more sleep during the weekend :D
I'm actually quite relaxed at the moment cuz I took a REALLY long hot bath today. It was practically like a spa :twothumbs
Anyways, I haven't done you guys any justice but feedbacks are still appreciated... XD
Next up is TakaGaki! 8)
:byebye: :sleep:
-
woot update~! :cow:
and snap jun's a playa~ :yossi: nice way adding ex c-ute girls and chinami X3 XD but i guess they're just very close friends~
and sayu's got some class issues~ XD
next chapter takagaki??? yayness~!!! X3
welcome back~ and get some rest k?
-
lol jun trying to play the pimp card
nice update
-
Update!! Jun makes me laugh so much, she's so full of herself. It's going to take more than just flirting to get on Sayu's good side though.
Takagaki next? :wriggly: Can't wait!
-
jun-jun got herself a slap.... :shock: :shock: :shock: looks like the other girls in sayu class don't like her.....
i wonder what jun will do to steal the bunny's heart.... :glasses: :glasses: :glasses:
-
JunSayu :lol:
With that, the tall panda slid the door open and took a step in. The girls in the classroom turned around and let out a couple squeals and gasps as they realized who their visitor was. Some called out a casual greeting, to which Junjun responded to with a wave or a smile.
Junjun is the pimp :twothumbs
and next is TakaGaki! :hehehe: can't wait :ding:
-
@kawaii beam: oh yeah, very VERY close friends :twisted:
@kurosawa87: I like that concept: pimp card XD
@rndmnwierd: but don't worry, this is pimp jun we're talking about. she's gotta having something up her sleeve (which I dun even know about yet) XD
@memory: OOOH comment from new person! :cow: seems like that slap was quite a shock :lol:
@fallenxangel: oh i can tell you can't wait :D
And the thread lives on! HUZZAH :cow: :pepper: :onioncheer: :mon beam:
-
Wow... Jun needs some ice for that burn! XD But dang, she's so manly. :D She's acting like how any other players (guys) would act. :P I don't think Sayu truly hates Jun. Part of it, she's just playing hard to get. :roll:
Yay! We need to resume the construction of TakaGaki relationship! :mon squee:
-
Haven't commented on this story for a while. And just wanted to say, don't feel pressured or demoralised by the lack of comments. You still have your readers :)
Now. SayuJun....well, to be honest they're not a pairing that really captures my attention but I am amused by how snarky Sayu is so far. And Junjun the player is a nice change from her moody character in Kokoro no Uta.
Can't wait for the TakaGaki interaction. Again, not my favourite pairing usually, but teacher-student relationship is just too hot to ignore :lol: It would be an interesting relationship to see progress, how they would fight their feelings considering the moral implications of a teacher pursuing a relationship with a student, what had happened in Ai's past and how much of an impact it would have on their relationship....and so on.
And I can't forget TanaKame. Eri has dug herself such a big hole...how is she going to work her way out of it? :D
-
Jajajaja Poor Jun~ but It's just like my mom says...
"Si quieres Celeste.... que te cueste"
Translate: "If you want Sky Blue, You will have to suffer"... I know.. it doesn't make sense...
But It make sense in Spanish XDDDDDDDD
And what's up SarangAi =D How are you..? Hope a little better... and less stressed =D
The fic is great =D give that TakaGaki xD
-
Chapter 9
The orange-and-brown plaid collar shirt that she wore over her yellow t-shirt matched well together
Pikappika! I love her outfit and her performance :heart:
“You are innocent,” Eri said, resting her elbows on the table to lean in a little closer. “And you are cute.”
Whoa! Go turtle :onioncheer:
She continued on with the careful cutting until the fork broke through the chewy outer part and into the sweet inner part.
Just like the kitty's character :love:
Eri reached for the fork but Reina took it away, and then held it towards her again.
Lovely :D Oh yeah, they're having a date :inlove:
She licked off the powder with the tip of her tongue, causing the turtle to blush again.
:shocked Reina's turn :cow:
Best Couple Contest!
:grin: <-- my reaction when my thought landed on Eri XD
Your mission is to run a lap around the block as fast as you can and try to get within the top five.
That's peanuts for our Pretty Boy :D
“All boyfriends ready?”
Oh Eri XD
Eri’s cheeks stayed a pink as she constantly felt overly aware of the kitty dangling on her left arm.
:grin:
“Uh… just give me a minute,” Reina mumbled, looking panicked. “I’m thinking…”
:lol: I did not expect that XD
“No! It was… it was cute but… just don’t do it in public again…” All those people are looking at you now with different eyes. I don’t like that!
Aww, the turtle's jealous :wriggly:
“Your trial,” Airi started, smiling, “is to kiss each other!”
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Jackpot for our Pretty Boy
“And I didn’t want to kiss my girlfriend in front of all these people when I wasn’t sure if we were even comfortable kissing at all. I won’t do anything that Reina will regret.”
Aww :wub:
Chapter 10
“Uh... did it involve the cake?”
:lol:
“That’s just you being an aho, Kameha.”
:lol: I love you Risa
“Or maybe I’m just seeing an average girl in love~” the turtle cooed. “That’s a simpler explanation.”
Hit right on the spot!
Chapter 11
the teachers didn’t bother with them as much as they did while Reina was in power
Now I'm curious
But Junjun held up one hand and shook her head, indicating that she was going on this “mission” alone.
Very cool
“Hi,” Sayumi said. She pulled her arm out of Junjun’s grasp. “Good-bye.”
XD
Unconsciously, her free left hand flew up and slapped Junjun across the face.
Ouches
Next chapter please :D
-
@kano-chan: Sayumi's character is just always so bad, isn't it? XD
@aussie: yeah, I tried to make Jun seem a little less depressing this time XD ANd I didn't forget about TanaKame, they're still the maing couple. :D
@Haruka: ooh I like that quote! I should tell that to my younger cousin, maybe she can use it in her Spanish class or sumthing... :lol:
@kRisZ: whoo~ nice to hear from you :D I always like reading your quote-by-quote comments :twothumbs
update two days in a row? WOW :cow:
but it's only because it's the weekend :nervous

Chapter 12
Risa sighed as she opened her wooden bento box. Each section of the bento was filled with delicious food that the bean had taken the effort to make that morning. In the largest section was the rice with a single umeboshi on top. The other sections contained side dishes, such as tonkatsu, beans, salad, and some fruits. It was a rather colorful and eye-catching bento; Risa was a good cook, just like her mother.
The bean looked around her surroundings. She was sitting on the grass under a large tree in the school courtyard. A couple of other students were lingering around or eating lunch with their friends on a bench or by the fountain. Normally, the bean would eat lunch with her turtle friend, but Eri had been caught sleeping in class again and had to do extra credit for the math teacher to not lose points off her grade. So unfortunately, Risa was left alone to eat lunch by herself.
The bean shifted her legs and tucked them to the side. She could imagine Eri begging for the umeboshi on top of her rice right about now. Too bad everything was silent. Risa never knew what a sad feeling it was to eat alone.
“Is this spot taken?”
Risa looked up at the person who had just spoken; she tried to make out the woman’s face through the sun behind her. Iinchou’s homeroom teacher was smiling down at her, as she tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. She was holding a clear plastic bag.
“Not today,” Risa muttered, looking down at her untouched bento.
“May I sit?” Takahashi-sensei asked carefully. She was honestly giving her student that choice. She knew Risa wasn’t too fond of her yet, so she didn’t want to overwhelm her.
“Douzo,” Risa answered, indifferently. She wasn’t too annoyed by the new teacher now. In fact, she was actually quite curious about what they talked about in their previous conversation. But most of all, Risa just didn’t want to eat alone.
Ai sank down to the grass next to the teenager, making sure to sit not too close but not too far either. She was wearing a white button-down blouse with a knee length pastel-pink skirt and flats. Her brown wavy hair was tied into a side ponytail.
“You look younger without the suit,” Risa remarked.
“Normally, that would be a good comment,” Ai laughed. “But coming from you, Gaki-san, I’m not sure if I should be happy or not. You want a mature teacher, right?”
“I want a teacher who knows what she’s doing,” the class representative corrected. “And… you know what you’re doing… I think.”
“I hope so too,” Sensei chuckled.
The older woman then opened the plastic bag and took out a wrapped onigiri from the school convenience store. She peeled off the wrapper and said, “Itadakimasu” before she bit into the rice ball. Risa watched her teacher for a while, still thinking about the debate between “good” and “bad”. Sighing, the bean finally turned to her own bento. She picked up her chopsticks and quickly mumbled, “Itadakimasu”. She then took a piece of tonkatsu to her mouth and started to chew.
“Uwa~ Gaki-san!” Takahashi-sensei gasped, discovering the bean’s lunch. “That’s a really impressive bento! Did your mother make that for you?”
“No, I made it myself,” Risa replied. “My mom goes out to work early in the morning, so she doesn’t have time to make a bento.”
“You made this?” Ai breathed again. “That’s amazing! It looks really delicious.”
“Um… Thank you,” Risa answered awkwardly, not knowing what else to say. “Do you… uh… want to try it?”
“May I?” Sensei smiled, as though Christmas had come early.
Risa nodded and picked up a tonkatsu between her chopsticks. She held it up for Ai to eat before she realized what she was doing. She was feeding her teacher! It was so weird yet… she had done it so naturally.
Sensei gently held Risa’s hand and brought it closer to her face as she took the food into her mouth. Risa blushed a little as she quickly lowered her hands. Ai chewed slowly as a satisfied expression started to appear on her face.
“Oishii~” she sighed. “You’re a very good cook, Gaki-san.”
“Ah… um… Arigatou gozaimasu…” the bean mumbled. What’s happening to me? Why is my face starting to feel hot?
“I wish I could cook as well as you,” Ai sighed, returning to her own onigiri. “It would save me from all these instant foods.”
“You can’t cook?” Risa asked, looking up.
“Only simple things, like rice,” Ai laughed. “It’s actually kind of embarrassing, considering I’m living alone and I’m already in my twenties… But I just never got to learn.”
“Is that why you have convenience store lunch?” Risa asked, referring to the onigiri.
“Yes,” Takahashi-sensei sighed. “It’s either this or bread. I felt like eating rice today.”
Sensei took a bite out of her food again as she looked straight ahead, observing the cliques of students in the courtyard. Risa stared at her teacher’s face for a while. After looking closely, she was indeed quite pretty; no wonder the boys were all gaga over her. And she was nice too, which was why the girls found it hard to hate her…
Or maybe I’m just seeing an average girl in love~, Eri’s voice echoed in the bean’s head. That’s a simpler explanation.
What am I thinking about right now? Risa thought, gasping. Why am I remembering what Eri said? I don’t like Sensei like that; she just seems like a respectable enough person now. And I don’t even like girls…
Wait. Eri was right on that part though; I don’t even know if I’m straight or not! Does that mean I really could be…?
Risa shook her head like a mad person, trying to chase away all the overlapping thoughts in her head. Ai raised an eyebrow at the bean’s curious action, but soon just smiled.
“You’re an interesting person, Gaki-san,” she chuckled.
“Sorry, I’m just… uh… tired,” Iinchou quickly said. “Um… Sensei?”
“Yes?”
“Can I ask you a question?”
“You can ask and I’ll try to answer,” the teacher grinned.
“Why do you say you’re a bad person?”
The smile disappeared from Ai’s face. Instead, she looked very tired now.
“That’s not something you need to know, is it?” she said softly.
“It’s been bothering me,” the bean insisted, “because I think Sensei’s a good person. But… you yourself don’t think so.”
“I don’t,” Ai answered, “and I have a good reason.”
“And that is?”
“I don’t think I want to tell you,” the teacher smirked. “We’re finally on good terms now, Gaki-san, let’s not go too deep into each other’s thoughts.”
“If I prove to be a closer… person… to you,” Risa said, from lack of a better word, “will you tell me someday?”
“… You’re really curious about this, aren’t you?” Sensei raised an eyebrow.
“I know there’s something more than what I see,” Risa replied. “I can tell.”
“Sharp girl,” Ai chuckled. “Alright. If you prove to be a closer friend, I’ll tell you someday.”
“In that case,” Risa grinned, happy that her teacher took the bait, “would it be alright for me to make you a bento every school day?”
“You’re really desperate to know my secret, aren’t you Gaki-san?” Takahashi-sensei laughed, surprised by the bean’s words. “You would go that far?”
“Well, it’s not just to know your secret,” Risa hesitated. “It’s not healthy to always eat convenience store food. You need some home cooking too, once in a while…”
She didn’t really mind making her teacher an extra bento while making her own in the morning. It didn’t seem like it would be much of a chore. After all, there was something Risa was oddly curious about now, for whatever reason, and only Sensei could tell her. Besides that, Risa just wanted to make the teacher… happy, somehow. She would smile after she gets the bento, and that would somehow satisfy Risa. Was there a word for this kind of feeling?
“I would truly appreciate it if you do that for me, Gaki-san,” Ai smiled warmly. “But you don’t have to go through the trouble to do that.”
“It’s no trouble at all,” Risa insisted. “You should worry about your health more, Sensei. I’ll bring you a bento starting tomorrow, okay?”
“Only if you wish,” Takahashi-sensei chuckled. “Thank you.”
The teacher reached out and ruffled Risa’s short hair; the student cringed a bit, not fond of being babied. But she didn’t stop Sensei or push her hand away. Just like last time, Takahashi-sensei’s touch felt gentle and warm. Was she getting used to this already? Yabai…

TakaGaki cuteness :luvluv1: :luvluv1:
Ai sank down to the grass next to the teenager, making sure to sit not too close but not too far either. She was wearing a white button-down blouse with a knee length pastel-pink skirt and flats. Her brown wavy hair was tied into a side ponytail.
“You look younger without the suit,” Risa remarked.
Aichan always looks younger then she is :)
Risa nodded and picked up a tonkatsu between her chopsticks. She held it up for Ai to eat before she realized what she was doing. She was feeding her teacher! It was so weird yet… she had done it so naturally.
Sensei gently held Risa’s hand and brought it closer to her face as she took the food into her mouth. Risa blushed a little as she quickly lowered her hands. Ai chewed slowly as a satisfied expression started to appear on her face.
“Oishii~” she sighed. “You’re a very good cook, Gaki-san.”
“Ah… um… Arigatou gozaimasu…” the bean mumbled. What’s happening to me? Why is my face starting to feel hot?
Because you like aichan :heart:

@kurosawa87: oh yeah, RIsa's getting cookin XD

Thanks everyone, for staying with me! :twothumbs
I'm working on the next TanaKame chapter at the moment, and I planned out everything until Ch. 19 now XD
I'm trying to make this story go a little fast (because of time, and the fact that I used up a lot of good ideas on Kokoro no Uta) but i'm still gona make it good! :sweatdrop:
Iku yo~ :yossi:
-
Takagaki :wub: I'm still wracking my brain to figure out why Ai thinks she's a bad person. I think I've come up with quite a few theories, all of them more radical than the last, but I suppose I'll just have to wait until you reveal the true reason. I just have a feeling I'll be waiting a while, chapter wise.
I so love seeing how Risa's falling for her Sensei, one pat on the head and little action at a time.
-
Takagakiiiiiiiiiii :wub: :wub: :wub:

Normally, the bean would each lunch with her turtle friend
o unfortunately, Risa was left alone to each lunch by herself
Typos :)
The older woman then opened the plastic bag and took out a wrapped onigiri from the school convenience store
:( Risa do something
Risa nodded and picked up a tonkatsu between her chopsticks. She held it up for Ai to eat before she realized what she was doing. She was feeding her teacher! It was so weird yet… she had done it so naturally.
:wriggly:
What’s happening to me? Why is my face starting to feel hot?
Cupid's work honey :inlove:
“It’s actually kind of embarrassing, considering I’m living alone and I’m already in my twenties… But I just never got to learn.”
Again, Risa do something... she's alone that's ahem :D
And I don’t even like girls…
Oh please :roll: I know a few people who used to be straight until they met someone :roll:
“would it be alright for me to make you a bento every school day?”
:mon money: :mon money: :mon money:
Was there a word for this kind of feeling?
Love dear
Yabai…
Banzai!

But don't rush urself...take good care of you
-
Chapter 11: Ha, I love how Jun is sweet and Kind to everyone in the school and that half the school has a crush on her but she act's tottaly different infront of Sayu! Even so in the classroom all the girls side with Jun over Sayu, obviously Sayu isn't making any friends, I wonder if Jun will end up showing her, kind side to Sayu in the end and that Sayu's impression of Jun will change becasue of it
On that note, I wonder why Jun act's so differently towards sayu, is Jun just finding it amusing to anger Sayu because of her ideas that most the girls at the school are low class? is is it simply because Jun like playing the 'bad girl' with someone like Sayu, Or perhaps this isJun goes after girls she like, I suppose time will tell.
Chapter 12: Aww Poor Risa missing Eri :cry:
Gaki getting all hot under the collar because Ai is praising her :wub: Gaki keeps on telling herself that she dosn't like Ai but the morse she says it the closer they get!
I wonder what Ai's secrect is? Gaki seems to really want to know, it's sweet how she offers to make Ai lunch everyday to find out and comes up with some other stupis resons other than it's becasue she want's to make Ai happy :lol: I wonder how close 'friends' they will have to be before Ai tells her? :wub:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 13
“Call everybody and tell them we’re having a group outing today,” Junjun ordered the other panda as she took out a cigarette and pushed it inside her mouth.
“Aw, do I have to call?” Linlin complained, taking out her cell phone. “Can’t I just mass text everybody instead?”
“Do whatever you need to do to get in touch with every single one of my girls,” the yankii rephrased, sighing. “We’re going to meet up at the park, and we’ll all do something fun together.”
“What’s with the sudden outing, Senpai?” Aika questioned.
“I don’t know, I felt bored,” Junjun shrugged. “It’s been a while since the whole gang met up. Since a couple of us are in different schools, it’s hard to stay bonded.”
“Okay, I texted everyone,” Linlin announced, slapping her cell phone shut. “By the way, Jun-senpai, you know we’re still in the front field of the school, right?”
“Yeah, what about it?”
Linlin pointed to the cigarette in Junjun’s mouth to answer as Aika nervously looked around. It was the end of the school day, so there were a lot of girls leaving Morning Gakuen for the day. The three girls were standing near the gate wall, planning what they were going to do after school.
“It’s not lit yet,” Junjun reassured. “The teachers are easy on me for something like this.”
“Hey, look over there!” Aika suddenly said, jabbing a finger towards the school entrance. “It’s Reina-senpai!”
The two pandas turned to the front door to see a petit girl with long straight hair, walking out of the building. She had a black headband with a small bow on it. She was walking towards the front gate, ready to go home like the rest of the students.
“We should ask her to join us today,” Linlin suggested. “The others will be happy to see Tanaka-senpai again too!”
“Not a problem with me,” Junjun grinned.
“I’ll go get her!” Aika volunteered. She started to shift into her sprint mode before a different voice called the name of her victim.
“Reina!”
“Aika, wait!”
The yankii leader stopped her underdog just in time to watch Reina’s lips grow into a smile. The petit girl skittered over to the front gate where the person who had called her name stood. It was a lanky boy wearing baggy jeans with high-top sneakers. He was wearing a navy blue sweater that was a couple sizes bigger than what he should actually wear. He had a red cap on, which hid most of his face but not all; his eyes were a little too big to be a boy’s as well as his skin being too white.
“Isn’t that the boy we saw before at the park?” Linlin remarked.
Junjun and the other two girls watched as Reina said something to the boy who said something back while scratching his head. The kitty’s smile grew bigger then, as her cheeks blushed slightly pink.
“Is Reina-senpai… blushing?” Aika gasped. “That’s not something you see every day.”
“And as it is such a rare occasion,” Junjun grinned, “we’re just going to leave them alone today.”
“What? Why?” Linlin complained. “I want to go meet the boy…”
“Me too!” Aika argued. “I’m curious about the person who finally melted Reina-senpai down!”
“You know we’ll get another chance sooner or later,” Junjun said. “We’ll just leave for today. After all, she looks really happy right now… She deserves some of that, doesn’t she?”
“… I guess…” Aika and Linlin sighed together.
“Don’t worry,” the head panda smirked. “We’ll get a chance to tease them later…”
** ** **
“Eri!” Reina exclaimed, running up to the turtle. “Did your school end already?”
“I wanted to leave a little early,” Eri grinned. She had sneaked out of gym class at the last ten minutes and had quickly changed to run right over to Morning Gakuen.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” Reina raised an eyebrow, thinking of her silenced cell phone in her backpack.
“I wanted to surprise you,” Eri answered again, shrugging.
“So, why are you here?” Reina asked.
“I… um… wanted to see you…” the turtle answered, mumbling this time as she scratched her head.
The kitty stared for a while before bursting into giggles. She could feel her cheeks feeling a little warmer, but it wasn’t embarrassment. It wasn’t anything uncomfortable either. It was more like… bliss. This boy had come to pick her up at school because he wanted to see her. Well, that was certainly something new.
“Not bad at all, pretty boy,” Reina grinned. “Alright, you won me over for the rest of the day. What are we going to do?”
“Well, actually… I didn’t have anything specific in mind,” Eri mumbled, scratching the back of her head again. “I mean, I felt like anywhere was fine… I just… uh… wanted to see you.”
This made the kitty blush again as the turtle’s cheeks also turned soft pink. The ex-yankii smiled as she looked down at her feet for a while, trying not to seem too overjoyed. She cleared her throat and looked up.
“Well, I guess we can just walk around the shopping district or something,” Reina said, keeping her voice nice and even. “Let’s go.”
“Sounds good,” Eri agreed.
As the shorter girl turned and started to walk out of the gate, the turtle quickly followed behind, trying to walk as much like a boy as possible.
** ** **
“So what do you think?” Reina asked, holding up two different dresses in front of herself. “Beige or pink?”
“For that dress, I think beige looks better,” Eri said sincerely. “I really think the pink is a little to electric for that kind of outfit…”
Reina raised an eyebrow at the turtle’s fashion sense as Eri gasped, realizing how casually she had spoken.
“But what do I know?” she quickly said, laughing nervously. “I mean, guys don’t know anything about this… and I’m a guy… so I don’t know anything… about this… ha-ha…”
“Uh-huh…” Reina smirked, merely intrigued by Eri’s awkward behavior, but not really suspecting much. “I’m going to go try this on.”
The yankii turned and walked towards the changing rooms with a bunch of other outfits that she had already picked out. The turtle followed right behind her, trying to put as much swagger into her walk as possible. The two teenagers were inside a women’s clothing store that Reina had been drawn to while they were walking down the streets. Eri had to resist the urge to pick up some of the clothes herself, since they were so pretty but she was a boy at the moment. Reina entered one stall and closed the curtains as Eri stood outside, leaning against the wall across the booth.
“You were right, Eri!” the kitty called from the other side of the curtains. “Beige is a more a suitable color for this kind of dress.”
“Are you done changing?” Eri asked.
“Yeah… but there’s a problem,” Reina said. The curtain suddenly shifted open, revealing the shorter girl with her hands over her chest, trying to hold the dress up. She turned around and Eri almost had a nosebleed, for she revealed her bare back with her white bra showing. “I can’t reach the zipper. Can you close the dress for me?”
“I, uh… um… sure, yeah… uh… yeah…” Eri stammered, slowly walking closer to Reina.
She reached for the zipper that was near the petit girl’s waist and slowly pulled it up, trying to prevent it from getting stuck. Her eyes immediately started to explore the flawless skin of the kitty’s smooth back. She also couldn’t help but stare at the bra hook a little. She pulled the zipper all the way up before attempting to compose her face in front of the girl she liked.
“Thanks,” Reina smiled.
“No problem,” the turtle mumbled, adjusting the cap on her head.
“Are you feeling alright?” Reina asked. “Your face looks a little red.” She reached out and cupped Eri’s cheek, which only made her temperature rise higher. “Oh my gosh, you’re burning up! Do you have a fever?”
“No, I’m fine, Reina,” Eri quickly said, backing away a little before she could seriously lose herself. “It’s nothing. It’s just a little stuffy in here, that’s all.”
“It’s not stuffy in here,” Reina contradicted. Then, a smirk slowly spread across her lips. “Unless… you’re not sick and you’re just blushing!”
“Why would I blush?” Eri denied, trying to make her voice sound even and failing miserably at it.
“You tell me; I don’t know how the minds of boys these days work,” Reina grinned mischievously. “So why? Was it the fact that I was so close to you?”
The kitty started to walk closer and closer to the turtle who slowly backed away to the wall with wide eyes. Reina licked her lips a little before continuing, as did Eri who swallowed hard.
“Was it the fact that I asked you to help me get dressed?” the petit girl said. “Or was it just the fact that my back was bare for only you to see? Was it my skin? Or maybe it was even my bra, huh?”
At this point, Reina’s face was only an inch away from Eri’s face. The turtle held her breath as she took in the ex-yankii’s flowery scent. She swallowed again as her cheeks blushed. Reina smirked.
“Did it turn you on, pretty boy?” she whispered. “You have to hold out longer than that.”
Reina winked before she giggled and went behind the curtains again to change back to her uniform. Eri’s legs gave out as she sank down to the floor, breathing heavily. She put her hands over her cheeks; the heat was practically irradiating off her skin. She was completely wrapped around the kitten’s wasn’t she?
What do I do? Eri thought. How am I supposed to keep quiet about my feelings while even hiding my gender if she keeps on flirting with me? … Wait a minute. She’s flirting with me. Does that mean she likes me too?
“Let’s go get something to eat,” Reina suggested, bursting out of the changing stall. Eri flew back up to her feet again and scratched her head, trying to look casual. The ex-yankii laughed. “That was major fail, pretty boy.”
“Sorry,” Eri apologized.
“It’s okay though,” Reina smiled, “because it was cute.”
Cute! Eri thought. She thinks I’m cute! That’s a good thing, right?
“Let’s go get some dinner,” Reina suggested again. “It’s almost time anyway. Just something simple, like a burger.”
“Whatever you want, I’ll do,” Eri grinned. Absolutely whatever you want.
** ** **
“You know, I can pay for my own food,” Reina grumbled, following Eri out of the fast food place. “I have my own money.”
“I know you do,” Eri said, rolling her eyes. “But I wanted to pay for our meal this time. Do you mind?”
The two students had just finished their quick dinner at the nearest fast food place. They had both ordered a meal with burgers and drinks. The turtle had insisted on paying for both meals while the kitty furiously argued back. But in the end, the “boy” had prevailed over the girl.
“I guess not…” the ex-yankii mumbled. “But you bought the ice cream last time too. Next time, I’m buying. I’m an independent girl and I don’t need a man to depend on!”
Well, I’m not a man so your philosophy doesn’t apply to me, Eri thought, smiling. “Suit yourself.”
“It’s getting late,” Reina sighed, checking her cell phone. “I should go home before it gets dark.”
“Okay,” Eri said, trying to hide her disappointment. “I guess… I’ll see you next time?” She knew Reina wasn’t a fan of giving out her address.
“Yeah…” the kitty answered. “Text me?”
“Definitely,” the turtle nodded.
Then, Eri turned around and started to walk away, resisting the urge to look back and feel sad all over again. But before she was even five feet away, something grabbed her hand and spun her around again.
“Hey,” Reina started, hesitating a little. “Um… do you want to… uh… come over for a while? To my place?”
“I thought it wasn’t easy getting a girl’s address,” Eri grinned, recalling the first day they had met.
“It’s not,” Reina smiled. “But you worked hard for it. We can have some tea or something.”
“Tea sounds nice,” the turtle nodded happily.
As Reina smiled in approval, the two teenagers started to walk down the street the same way, side by side. Eri noticed that the kitty still hadn’t let go of her hand yet, but she didn’t mind. She only squeezed back just as tightly.

Oh goddess of goddesses XD
“I mean, guys don’t know anything about this… and I’m a guy… so I don’t know anything… about this… ha-ha…”
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
“I can’t reach the zipper. Can you close the dress for me?”
:drool:
Reina licked her lips a little before continuing, as did Eri who swallowed hard.
:on bleed:
“Or was it just the fact that my back was bare for only you to see? Was it my skin? Or maybe it was even my bra, huh?”
Such a Tease :on bleed:
“Did it turn you on, pretty boy?” she whispered.
Oh gosh... *gets some blood*
“That was major fail, pretty boy.”
XD
“Whatever you want, I’ll do,” Eri grinned. Absolutely whatever you want.
Yeah, like har har :twisted:
Well, I’m not a man so your philosophy doesn’t apply to me, Eri thought, smiling.
XD
“Hey,” Reina started, hesitating a little. “Um… do you want to… uh… come over for a while? To my place?”
For more teasing? :w00t:

HO! UPDATE! :cow:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 14
“Come in and make yourself comfortable,” Reina said, taking off her shoes and stepping into her home.
Eri quickly followed suit and started to look around the quiet house. Everything was very plain; too plain. The walls were pure white with no decorations or pictures whatsoever. Reina turned right into the kitchen, which was also covered with white paint. It was better than the hallway though, since the wooden cabinets gave some variety in the color scheme.
“Shitsureshimasu…” Eri called out carefully.
“You don’t need to say that,” Reina laughed. “There’s no one here.”
“What about your family?” the turtle asked.
“They live somewhere else,” the kitty answered nonchalantly. “I live here alone so I can go to Morning Gakuen. It’s nearer.”
“Really?” Eri questioned. “I live alone too. My parents moved to Yokohama, but I didn’t want to leave Haro Kotogakko.”
“What a coincidence,” Reina smiled as she put the teapot on the stove. “But I think I’m in a slightly different situation than you.”
Before Eri could ask why, the shorter girl started to busily open and close the cabinets in search of the tea bags and cups. She took them out and placed them on the counter before she turned to the turtle, who was standing by the kitchen door.
“I’m going to go upstairs and change,” she announced, referring to her school uniform. “The water is heating, so you can wait in the living room.”
As the kitty skittered up to the second floor, the turtle made herself comfortable on the living room couch. Practically everything was white in this house, except for the TV and the glass coffee table. There seemed to be no hint of color anywhere. Reina always seemed so fashionable; this was not what Eri had expected at all.
Eri took off her cap and placed it on the table in front of her. Only then, she finally noticed a picture frame knocked over next to her cap. She picked it up carefully and set it upright, and started to look at the photo. It was a family portrait; there was a solemn-looking man in the back wearing a black suit. Next to him was a pretty-looking lady wearing a kimono, smiling at the camera. In front of the two parents was a small toddler, wearing a one piece dress while holding a teddy bear, flashing a toothy smile.
“That’s when I was seven,” a voice explained, causing the turtle to jump. “It was right before I entered elementary school.”
Reina walked over to the couch and sat down while placing two mugs of tea on the table. She was now wearing a beige knit shirt that fit snugly on her body with a tan mini skirt and knee-length socks.
“It seems to be the only picture in your house,” Eri said. “Why?”
“You have sharp eyes, pretty boy,” the kitty smiled. “Kind of surprising; I always thought you were the aho type.”
“I’m not even insulted by that anymore; I hear it too many times a day… oh wait.” As the turtle slowly realized that she had just dissed herself, Reina burst into giggles.
“I knew my impression of you was right,” she smirked, taking a sip of her tea. “It’s okay though; I kind of like it.”
Eri blushed as she stared into the family picture for a couple more seconds. The man in the back seemed so serious compared to the beautiful lady beside him.
“Is that your father?” Eri asked.
“Yeah, that’s him,” Reina answered, sighing. “Papa looks real serious there… but he’s actually a nice man. He loved Mama very much.”
Eri was a little surprised by how the kitty referred to her parents; she seemed too much of a cool type to say “Mama” or “Papa”.
“Loved?” the turtle questioned, accenting the past tense of the word.
“Mama passed away a couple years back,” Reina said quietly.
“… I’m sorry,” Eri whispered.
“It’s okay,” the petit girl sighed, sipping her tea. “It was hard back then… it was harder on Papa though. I don’t deserve the pity.”
“Why would you say that?”
“… I’ve been a very bad person, Eri,” Reina said after hesitating for a while. “I’ve been a bad girl, a bad student, a bad daughter.”
“Don’t say that,” the turtle disagreed. “I don’t know what you did in the past, but don’t beat yourself over it.” What’s with everyone and the concept of being a bad person these days?
“No, it’s different with me,” the ex-yankii denied, shaking her head. “You… do you remember when I told you that I think my case in living alone is different from your case?”
“Yes…?”
“In your situation, you’re living here because you argued with your parents who wanted to take you along with them. In my situation… it’s more like I got kicked out.”
“Why?”
“…Because I’m the one who killed Mama.”
Reina turned away and bit down on her lips, trying to hold the tears back. She paused for a while, wondering if she was doing the right thing by telling this boy her story. Eri sat and waited patiently, giving the kitty a choice in whether she wanted to continue or not. Finally, Reina sighed and met eyes with the turtle next to her.
“I used to be a delinquent,” she confessed. “A Fukuoka yankii, if you will. I would cut school, go to clubs, smoke… and anything else that might be illegal for underage people…”
Reina stopped for a while and examined Eri’s face, who kept a firm mask on to reveal no emotions. Deciding that she wasn’t being judged, the kitty continued.
“To make a long story short, I got caught by the police once. Mama was on her way to pick me up, and got into a car accident. She died then and there. Papa may be a workaholic and a solemn man, but he truly loved Mama, and he was really upset. He suggested that I go to a private school in Tokyo, even though there were private schools in Fukuoka too. He never blamed me directly, but I know he loathes me for what I did to Mama. I guess we both just needed to get away from each other for a while. So for the first time in my life, I obeyed him without any complaints.”
“… Do you talk to your father now?” Eri asked carefully.
“Rarely,” Reina answered, gulping some more of the tea down to calm herself. “We phone each other once in a while, about the house fees and stuff. He pays for all of my expenses; I guess I’m kind of a rich girl. But I was never the princess type. I was never who Mama wanted me to be.”
The ex-yankii laughed softly as she rubbed her temples. Eri watched the girl next to her, who was trying not to break down. She thought about what she had just heard, and tried to organize the information. Reina had been a yankii. She blames herself for her mother’s death. Her father apparently blames her too, which is why he sent her to Tokyo to live by herself…
“You love them,” Eri smiled.
“What?” Reina asked, confused.
“Your parents,” Eri rephrased. “You love them.”
“… Do I?”
“If you were such a bad daughter and a delinquent, like you keep making yourself out to be,” the turtle explained, “you wouldn’t be beating yourself over such family complications right now. You loved your mother. So you want forgiveness.”
“… Do I?” Reina asked again, in all sincerity.
“From the way I see it,” Eri continued, “you and your father are avoiding the subject of your mother altogether. You have to talk to him about it.”
“… I don’t know,” the kitty hesitated. “I don’t deserve to…”
“You have to face him someday,” Eri smiled warmly, “because you love your Papa too. As much as you loved your Mama.”
Reina stared at the boy next to her; he had such a gentle expression, that it comforted the kitty just by looking him. She smiled a little as she put her tea mug down and leaned her head against the couch. She turned sideways and continued to look at the turtle.
“Thanks, Eri,” she said. “It helps just to know that someone cares. It’s funny how I can say all this to you right now; only my closest friends know about my past.”
“I’m glad to be in on your secret then,” Eri grinned, truly happy that this girl had confided in her. She was glad that she could see a different side to Reina.
“It doesn’t seem to even bother you that I used to be a delinquent,” the kitty smirked, slowly reverting to her original character. “Or that I used to smoke… Who knows? Maybe I even did some drug dealing.”
“Did you?” Eri asked, her eyes widening.
“No,” Reina laughed. “I wasn’t crazy enough to do that. I just got… violent, at times.”
“It’s okay,” Eri smiled. “All that matters to me is the you right now.”
“… Like I said,” the kitty grinned, “you’re a real aho.”
“But you like that part of me,” Eri said back.
“You’re right,” Reina laughed, entertained by the turtle’s wit. “I do like that part of you.”
“That’s good,” Eri grinned. “I like you too.”
Reina’s head suddenly shot up from the couch as she sat up straight. She smirked and narrowed her eyes. Eri could practically feel the kitty’s teasing coming on… whatever it was about.
“Was that a confession?” Reina giggled. “You like me?”
“Huh?” Eri mumbled, blushing. “I, uh… um… that’s, uh…”
“Gotcha,” the ex-yankii laughed. “Relax, pretty boy, I was just kidding.”
“… Well, I wasn’t!” Eri yelled, suddenly feeling brave. Who was she trying to kid? Her feelings had never been as clear as this moment. She had to go ahead and make a move! “I… I do like you, Reina. Not as a friend… as a girl.”
The petit girl froze in her spot as her eyes grew wide. She exhaled sharply before her hands went up to cover her mouth. She was actually blushing! Eri couldn’t help but laugh at the kitty’s sudden character change; from the bold teenage queen to the shy embarrassed girl.
“Don’t laugh!” Reina yelled. “I… I don’t know if I should be happy, or…” She paused again, before she finally put her hands down. She looked up and stared straight into Eri’s eyes. “Do you mind if I try something?”
“By all means,” Eri said.
Slowly, Reina inched closer and closer to the “boy” until she was practically on “his” lap. She slowly reached up and placed her hands on Eri’s shoulders, and started to crane her neck up. She leaned in closer and closer until her lips were only an inch away from Eri’s before she stopped, still unsure of her actions. Unable to take the wait, Eri just leaned in herself to kiss the lips of the girl she loved. Reina quickly backed away, but only slightly.
“I’m sorry,” she apologized, thinking she had done wrong.
“No, don’t be,” Eri quickly whispered.
She leaned in again, this time while cupping Reina’s cheek. She wound her other arm around the small girl’s waist. Her lips worked slowly against the kitten’s mouth, who started to loosen up more from her stiffness. Reina wrapped her arms around Eri’s neck and pulled herself closer to her, eager to feel more intimacy. She slowly parted her lips to catch some air, but Eri took the advantage to snake her tongue in. The ex-yankii moaned softly as she felt her mouth being explored by the new flavor. But the intruder left through the lips all too soon, leaving Reina breathing hard.
“Well?” Eri asked, who was also struggling a little to catch some oxygen.
“It feels so wrong…” Reina answered, “yet so right.”
“Um, care to explain?” the turtle smiled nervously.
“It’s wrong because you’re too good to someone like me,” she chuckled. “But it’s right because I know how much I want to be with you… how I feel so much at home when I’m with you.”
“Then don’t think anymore,” Eri insisted. “You belong with me, and I belong with you. Isn’t it much easier that way?”
“That’s so like you to just make it simple as possible,” Reina laughed.
“So…” Eri hesitated, “does this mean we’re going out now?”
The kitten burst into giggles once more. She placed a quick peck on the turtle’s lips and smiled.
“Yeah,” she grinned, a hint of pink returning to her cheeks. “It does.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ps- @HARUKA: yeah, you totally smelled it XD
pps- I think the more I'm writing this, I slowly start to forget the fact that Eris is a girl.. ^^;
Oh yeah~ :yossi: :otomerika:

only thought at the moment reading this chapter
-
cutenes~! X3 i hope reina wont mind when she finds out eris a girl
-
Awww~! Kamei is so understanding! :mon inluv: Hopefully, Reina would be too, when she finds out her lover is a girl. :mon whimper:
I love the confession! It's so cute! :mon lovelaff:
Somewhere in the chapter, I thought they might hug and Reina would find out. But luckily, she didn't. :sweat:
Now, here I am, smiling like an idiot after reading the chapter. :mon heh:
-
I knew it 8)2
Someone always feel better and secure in their own house =3 jeje
I wonder about Reina's reaction when she knows the truth about Eri's gender =O
I Love TanaKame >o<!!!!!

And we have passed the point of no return. As soon a Reina told Eri about her past, the turtle should have come clean too. Well, she probably wouldn't have gotten a kiss. Hmm, kisses or truth? That's a hard one. :lol: I can so see the biting in the ass from here, but Eri was so sweet. Accepting Reina even after everything was said(how could we expect any less, after all). Poor Reina, living with this guilt.
So, Takagaki next chapter? :grin:
-
TanaKame kiss :inlove:
Reina trusts Eri a lot since she told her about her family and past
and eri was so sweet to reina :heart:
yeah next TakaGaki?
-----
p.s.: to k-drama: it's one of the best drama that i had watches :thumbsup
-
Chaper 13: It's nice to know that at least Jun figured out what was going on with Reina and 'the guy', Hmm Jun getting the old gang back together, could be intresting to see if anything intresting happens when she does.
Ha poor Eri, Just wantinf to see Reina, you need to have a plan next time Eri! :lol:
Eri slipping into girl mode with the dresses :doh: and the bit with the zipper was just :wub: I think it's quite obvious that Eri cant deal with flirty Reina :mon blood:
Reina is inviting Eri back for 'Tea' ehh..... :lol: :mon crazyinlove:
Chapter 14: Poor Eri, Her one chance not to be seen as an Aho and she ruins it :mon ignore:
I'm amazed at how easily Reina told Eri about her life story, I suppose it shows how much Reina must like and trust Eri and how strong her feelings for Eri must be, even if she dosn't realize it all yet....
Aww Eri's confession was sweet, it even made Reina blush.... :shy1:
“Then don’t think anymore,” Eri insisted. “You belong with me, and I belong with you. Isn’t it much easier that way?”
-
@kurosawa87: omg that is scarily perfect XD
@kawaii beam: we'll see... :twisted: btw, you gotta make me a sig someday XD
@kano-chan: lol imagine my face while i was writing it :drool:
@Haruka: "Easy comes, easy goes" and "Don't leave for tomorrow what you can do today" wow, high school spanish is finally paying off :lol:
@rndmnwierd: yeah, Reina is always the bad one, right? :D
@fallenxangel: I KNOW I love that damn drama!!! :inlove: :wub:
@oddball: LOL "Tea" :lol: XD
Thanx for the feedback~ :yossi:
unfortunately, the next chapter isn't a TakaGAki, it's one of those boring but necessary cross-section friendship chapters :nervous
I'm trying to go in order of the couples here, and SayuJun was before TakaGaki.... so I think SayuJun is the chapter after the next one :sweatdrop:
I'll try to make everything as interesting as possible though! But TanaKame IS the main couple here... i promised.. :mon cute:
-
lol just tell me what pics u want and i'll do it my friend~^^

Cause Eri needs a remember, that right now she has a GIRLFRIEND who thinks she is a HE =O
Gaki >o<!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! give some love <3
-
^Wow, that vid was awesome! Way to go! :thumbsup
-
It has happened. TanaKame are now official. Except they have one major hurdle to overcome before things unravel rapidly. You know, all the gender-bender stories usually allow the 'secret' to make the romance acceptable once the true gender of the bender character is revealed, but since there's another girl in the equation here it's going to be interesting to see how Reina would react :lol: As long as Reina doesn't call Eri disgusting or anything, even if it is in shock and inadvertently hurt Eri's feelings.
I find it adorable how Aika hero-worships Reina.
-
@kawaii beam: time to go hunt for some Aichan/Gakisan pics~ XD
@fallenxangel: see, i don't wait for the subbing since i understand korean... MWA HA :twisted:
@Shiawase_Honoo: aww~ glad you liked it! And props for being a Mittsi fan! I'm starting to like her more and more and there needs to be more mittsi lovers here :D
@Swtme03: I MISSED YOU :bleed eyes: But i'm glad you're here now~ i always enjoy your comments :wub:
@Haruka: AHH you're SO right. you're really good at predicting... friendship chapters ALWAYS have a reason XD and that's some awesome dancing there :w00t:
@aussie: oh you hit the nail there! This is a little different from a normal gender-bender cuz in the end, it IS two girls :P and yeah, i like the concept of Mittsi worshipping Reina like a sister too :D
-
oh girl thats not fair :cry:
i want to understand korea too
-
=D
Of course >o<!!!!! Friendship chapys ALWAYS make you think about consequences
But in a good way, giving support and all =B ~~~
You like the live?? I will show you rehearsals, but when my computer works well >o<

:mon freeze:

“… Well, I wasn’t!” Eri yelled, suddenly feeling brave.
:onioncheer:
“Do you mind if I try something?”
I'm sure it's a chuu :inlove:
“Um, care to explain?” the turtle smiled nervously.
Damn you Eriku XD XD XD
Then don’t think anymore,” Eri insisted. “You belong with me, and I belong with you. Isn’t it much easier that way?”
Life is simple, why make it complicated :D
“Yeah,” she grinned, a hint of pink returning to her cheeks. “It does.”
:gmon twirl: :gmon flowers: :gmon twirl:
But hmmm... what will happen if the yankii finds out that the turtle is a girl... kinda scary.
-
Yatta!!! TanaKame officially a couple :shakeit: Damn, Eri(ku) keeps digging a deeper grave for
himself herself lol XD I have a feeling Jun is not gonna like it if Reina gets hurt :P
-
@fallenxangel: lol it helps if you were born there and if it's your first language XD
@Haruka: oh~ you watch heroes. I only watch variety shows when i see something floating around internet. I don't go hunt for the episodes on purpose :D
@kRisZ: oh, I love your line breakdown feedbacks XD and yeah, it'll be kinda scary.... :bleed eyes:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 15
“I can’t believe it!” Risa shrilled. “I think I just heard wrong, Kameha: you and that girl are what?”
“Shh! Lower your voice, Risa-chan!” Eri shushed, looking around the chattering classroom. “This isn’t exactly something to publicize.”
The turtle leaned in closer to her friend as Risa mirrored her action. The other students in the room were all busy talking to their own clique of friends, desperate to get in as much gossip and talking as possible before first period started. Eri was trying to explain to her friend what had happened in the previous night at a certain kitten’s home.
“But you just told me you and that Reina girl are going out!” the bean growled through her teeth. “What’d you expect me to do: just say, ‘Ii na~’ and continue doing homework or something?”
“A girl can wish,” Eri said under her breath.
“You mean a boy can wish,” Risa shot back. “Look, Kameha. I’m happy for you. I understand that you really like her and this is a big thing for you. But it seems to me like you’re forgetting the fact that the girl still thinks you’re a boy. I don’t know about you but that doesn’t spell out the future too well for me.”
“… Oh my god!” Eri gasped, a terrified expression forming on her face. “I’m still a girl!”
“Oh, this is great,” Risa scoffed, rolling her eyes. “We should celebrate, Kameha. You’ve had a lot of aho moments but this just tops all of it. How could you forget your own gender?”
“It’s not like I actually forgot,” Eri mumbled. “I mean… since Reina thinks I’m a boy, I actually feel like a boy when I’m with her…”
“That’s not a good thing, Eri,” the bean sighed, shaking her head. “That Reina girl is going out with you because she thinks you’re a boy. What if she’s not interested in girls? You should’ve told her before you two went on to become more than just friends.”
“Well, what do I do now?” Eri said, almost on the verge of crying. “What can I do now?”
“Hold yourself together, Kameha!” Risa ordered, trying to sound strong for her friend. “There’s only one thing you can do and that’s to tell the truth. You can’t go on like this. You want the girl to accept you as who you are, right?”
“Of course…” Eri said, biting her nails. “But what if she hates me after this?”
“If she truly feels a connection to you as you do to her,” Risa smiled, “I’m sure she’ll find a way to forgive you.”
** ** **
“Jun-senpai, I really think Tanaka-senpai is sick,” Aika whispered worriedly.
“Why would you say that?” Junjun whispered back, taking a bite out of her banana.
“Just look at her!” Linlin chimed in. “She’s making that face and she just keeps on smiling randomly!”
The three yankii girls standing by the door continued to stare at the kitten, who was sitting in the classroom. It was before first period so the students of Morning Gakuen were rowdy with their own business. But Reina was sitting alone at her desk, staring up at the ceiling with a stupid grin. Occasionally, she would start sighing or just randomly giggle. Every time she did that, Aika and Linlin’s expression would get worried even more while Junjun, eating her banana, was completely at ease.
“Jun-senpai, I can’t take this anymore!” Aika said, almost on the verge of crying. “Something’s wrong with Reina-senpai!”
“I agree!” Linlin said, receiving a grateful smile from her girlfriend.
“Alright, alright,” Junjun mumbled, taking the final bite out of her banana and throwing the peel away. “Let’s go in.”
The three girls marched into the classroom while receiving various greetings from the other students. Junjun dashed in front of Reina and touched her forehead to the kitten’s as though she was about to kiss her.
“Ohayou, Reina-chan~” she purred, smirking.
“GAH!” Reina screamed. She finally broke away from her trance and backed away, only to be caught by a pair of arms into a back-hug.
“Senpai, you’re okay!” Aika exclaimed. “I thought you were sick for a moment there!”
“Why would you think I’m sick?” Reina asked, trying to peel off her kouhai’s arms.
“Because you were staring at the ceiling like this,” Linlin answered, proceeding to imitate Reina’s goofy grin from before.
“… Oh…” the ex-yankii mumbled. “Well, it’s none of your business. And don’t be too friendly in public; I’m not a part of this gang anymore. I told you guys that already.”
“Aw, you’re embarrassed to be lumped together with us delinquents?” Junjun pouted. “That hurts, Reina.”
“You know it’s not like that,” the kitten growled.
“Yeah, yeah, I’m just joking,” Junjun grinned. “We’ll give you space. But not before you tell us why you’re so idiotically happy today.”
“… I’m not particularly happy,” Reina denied, keeping a poker face.
“Uh-huh~” the tall panda sneered, narrowing her eyes to make the kitten nervous. “Aika, I think our ex-leader needs some love from her successors…”
Before Reina could react to Junjun’s subtle orders, the youngest yankii jumped on her back and snuggled in close as Linlin kneeled right beside her and leaned her head on the desk. Junjun towered over the kitten on the opposite side of her seat. They all snickered and kept their gaze on her, making Reina gulp.
“So,” Junjun started, “what exactly happened?”
“Did you get a good grade on something?” Aika followed up.
“Did you win the lottery?” Linlin asked, being her random self.
“Did you get something at a cheap price?” Aika continued.
“Did you buy the new volume of Vampire Knight?” Linlin squealed excitedly.
“That reason would only apply to you, Lin,” Junjun smirked, causing the younger panda to blush while Aika giggled.
“Then what else could it be?” Aika thought out loud, scratching her head.
“I think I know,” the yankii leader said, smiling mischievously at the kitten, who was still keeping a poker-face. “You got a boyfriend.”
Aika and Linlin gasped and whipped their heads toward Reina, who was looking down at her desk now. She could feel her cheeks growing hotter as she nodded once, wordlessly. Junjun grinned smugly as Linlin got a dumbfounded look on her face. Aika squealed and quickly skittered to the front of Reina’s desk and knelt beside her girlfriend.
“Who is it, senpai?” she questioned, practically bouncing off the floor. “Who is it? Who is it?”
“It’s that pretty boy we saw before in the park, isn’t it?” Junjun guessed again, receiving a shy glare and a nod from the ex-yankii. “Wow, you admitted pretty fast. That was a lot easier than I thought it would be.”
“Congratulations, Tanaka-senpai!” Aika exclaimed, while Linlin broke out of her trance and echoed her girlfriend. “I’m so happy for you! You’re so cute when you’re all shy like that!”
“I am not shy!” Reina argued, finally lifting up her bright red face.
“This happened last night, didn’t it?” Junjun asked.
“You’re really starting to creep me out now,” Reina grumbled. “Do you have the paparazzi on me or something?”
“No, I’m just super smart,” the tall panda grinned. “So, what do you like about him?”
“Well…” Reina mumbled, gazing down at her desk again. Normally, she wasn’t the type to talk about these kinds of things. But part of her wanted to show off her new boyfriend. “He’s really kind… and sweet… kind of spacey at times, but that’s one of his charms…”
“And his hands are warm…” Linlin said, trying to lead on the kitten.
“Yeah… and his hugs are nice…” Reina murmured, a slow smile spreading across her lips.
“And he’s a good kisser…” Junjun murmured.
“Yeah, he’s a really good kisser… Wait, what?”
Reina’s head shot up to face the three yankiis, all smirking at her. Oh, they had gotten her good.
“He must’ve had experience,” Junjun snickered, “to be that good of a kisser.”
“No, actually,” Reina said through her teeth, “he doesn’t seem like that type. I think I’m ahead of him.”
“Think what you like,” Junjun said, eliciting giggles from her two followers. “Either way, I’m happy for you. But I’m kind of surprised too; he really doesn’t seem like your type.”
“What is my type then?” Reina raised an eyebrow.
“You used to hang out with more mature guys,” Aika reminded.
“Yeah, and they usually had a driver’s license,” Linlin pitched in.
“The really manly type,” Junjun said, “because you believed that since you were so strong, your guy had to be at least stronger than you.”
“Oh,” Reina said, blinking a couple times. “I guess I did used to think that way. It is funny though… Eri really isn’t my type. He’s too pretty and too girly sometimes… But there’s still something about him that attracts me.”
“I agree with the girly part,” Aika chimed.
“He has a nice figure,” Linlin nodded.
“That was just slightly creepy, Lin,” Reina said, raising an eyebrow.
“Imagine if he really is a girl,” Junjun teased. “Now that would be really funny.”
“Don’t make jokes like that,” Reina scoffed. “Even though I’m cool about girl-girl relationships because of you three, you know I’m not that type.”
“Yeah, yeah, I was just joking,” Junjun laughed. “It was just a scenario.”
“Well cut the scenarios and return to reality,” Reina said. “Despite all the pretty aspects of Eri, I’m thankful that he’s a guy. And he’s perfect that way.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well that took an awful long time. Sorry once again~ :sweatdrop: :nervous
I was gonna have SayuJun next, but I think I'm going to bump up TakaGaki first, then SayuJun. We had too much Jun in the previous chapter XD
:onioncheer: :byebye:
-
LOL! Kamei forgot that she's a girl? :lol:
Shy Reina is so darn cute! :mon lovelaff: And it made me :lol: when they got her.
Seeing how Reina can accept girl-girl relationships, I think she would definitely accept Kamei as a girl. And she's still confused about what attracts her to Kamei so that adds up! It's probably because Eriku is so girly and "he" has a nice figure. :P
Likes chapter! :twothumbs
Waits for TakaGaki... :mon cute:
-
ok... the last part sounds like "ouch" to Eri.
I don't know how she could forget she's a girl XD so clueless, just like Eri.
Please, don't be so cruel, I hope Reina doesn't be so angry when she find out the true about her "boyfriend".
And personally I don't care if the next chappie is TakaGaki or JunShige I love both of them *-*
Looking forward the next one.
Peace~~ :peace:
-
OUCH!!!
This is going to HURT >o<!!!!!
Reina is NOT that type U_U
Bad for Eri T_T... lets pick this up a little...
I can image a very veeeeeeeeeery mad Reina... a very veeeeeeery mad "trio"...
And a very veeeeeeery SAD Eri -.- well I guess a little "fight for her love" isn't bad XD
-
Yay~You finally updated. That was a long wait, but it was worth it. Aww, Reina seems really cute when she's shy. I agree with Gaki that Eri should tell Reina her gender, or at least hint it one way or another.
Jun's gang is so tricky hehe, trying to get Reina to spill more of her secrets. And Jun, that girl must have installed video cameras in Reina's house, man. :lol:
“Don’t make jokes like that,” Reina scoffed. “Even though I’m cool about girl-girl relationships because of you three, you know I’m not that type.”
“Yeah, yeah, I was just joking,” Junjun laughed. “It was just a scenario.”
“Well cut the scenarios and return to reality,” Reina said. “Despite all the pretty aspects of Eri, I’m thankful that he’s a guy. And he’s perfect that way.”
Ouch..this is really gonna hurt once Reina finds out. :(
-
“Imagine if he really is a girl,” Junjun teased. “Now that would be really funny.”
“Don’t make jokes like that,” Reina scoffed. “Even though I’m cool about girl-girl relationships because of you three, you know I’m not that type.”
“Yeah, yeah, I was just joking,” Junjun laughed. “It was just a scenario.”
“Well cut the scenarios and return to reality,” Reina said. “Despite all the pretty aspects of Eri, I’m thankful that he’s a guy. And he’s perfect that way.”
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
I just hope Reina doesn't do something (in her shock) that ends up hurting Eri more than it should. At the end of the day, it was Reina who made the wrong assumption and gave Eri hope (in a way). No doubt she would be shocked and hurt a little, and it would certainly throw herself into confusion upon learning Eri is actually a girl, but I just hope Reina doesn't hurt Eri too much. Whatever the trouble, I fully expect TanaKame to come through as strong as ever :D
(Or maybe, Jun will find out before Reina and the plot will thicken from there......)
-
“… Oh my god!” Eri gasped, a terrified expression forming on her face. “I’m still a girl!”
Yes Eri....your still a girl :lol:
“Of course…” Eri said, biting her nails. “But what if she hates me after this?”
No no reina wouldn't hate you... :P
“Don’t make jokes like that,” Reina scoffed. “Even though I’m cool about girl-girl relationships because of you three, you know I’m not that type.”
“Yeah, yeah, I was just joking,” Junjun laughed. “It was just a scenario.”
“Well cut the scenarios and return to reality,” Reina said. “Despite all the pretty aspects of Eri, I’m thankful that he’s a guy. And he’s perfect that way.”
....or maybe a little? :sweatdrop:
“Well…” Reina mumbled, gazing down at her desk again. Normally, she wasn’t the type to talk about these kinds of things. But part of her wanted to show off her new boyfriend. “He’s really kind… and sweet… kind of spacey at times, but that’s one of his charms…”
“And his hands are warm…” Linlin said, trying to lead on the kitten.
“Yeah… and his hugs are nice…” Reina murmured, a slow smile spreading across her lips.
“And he’s a good kisser…” Junjun murmured.
“Yeah, he’s a really good kisser… Wait, what?”
Reina’s head shot up to face the three yankiis, all smirking at her. Oh, they had gotten her good.
JunLin are brainwashings Reina XD XD XD
-------
eh? next is TakaGaki? :shocked
.....YEAH TAKAGAKI!!!! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
-
Lin cracks me up and the LinKa double team on Reina makes me laugh even more. Then tossing Jun in there for good measure? Homerun!
“Despite all the pretty aspects of Eri, I’m thankful that he’s a guy. And he’s perfect that way.”
:doh: Oh god.
Takagaki!! :cow: So can't wait.
-
It's seems as though Gaki is less than impressed that Eri has not told Reina that she is actually a girl, Gaki is right though but for some reason I can't see Eri telling Reina :banghead:
Jun's pretty perceptive isn't she, I think she had a good idea about what was going on all ready and they way Reina was racting confirmed it for her, I just wonder if she half thinks that Eri is a girl at all?
LinLin thinking Reina was excited over Manga was :lol:
“Don’t make jokes like that,” Reina scoffed. “Even though I’m cool about girl-girl relationships because of you three, you know I’m not that type.”
“Yeah, yeah, I was just joking,” Junjun laughed. “It was just a scenario.”
“Well cut the scenarios and return to reality,” Reina said. “Despite all the pretty aspects of Eri, I’m thankful that he’s a guy. And he’s perfect that way.”
Oh dear why does this just shout confrontaion at me! :cry:
-
@kano-chan: stay positive~ XD
@Michi.Pinku: we'll see how cruel i can/can't be... :twisted:
@Haruka: oh yes, VEEEEEEEEEEERRRRYYY :lol:
@sapphire: LOL Junjun might as well have the whole neighborhood wired XD
@aussie: I don't know, maybe i'll make some tragic endings this time... :twisted:
@fallenxangel: *sigh* i love the AikaJunLin pair.... :twothumbs
@rndmnwierd: yeah, i oddly started to find LinKa a cute pair, even though I was unsure about them when i first started the story :P
@oddball: Junjun's that one cool person who seems laidback but is super smart.... i guess we'll see how far her knowledge goes XD
So everybody seemed frightened/depressed by the last lines of the chapter.... that means i've succeeded :twisted: :twisted:
I plan on writing the next chapter this weekend, hopefully friday, so please look forward to it! :twothumbs
(Oddly, these days, I've kind been missing Kokoro no Uta) :nervous
-
Oh SarangAi...I love this chap!!
I love Eri be with Risa part. It's look like she got a HUGE pinch
and Reina part it's like that she has her own type. Don't like the girl-girl relationship.
P.S. Aika is so adorable when I've imagine that kind of her from your fic >w<
-
@aussie: I don't know, maybe i'll make some tragic endings this time... :twisted:
:smhid Better not!! :cry: TanaKame are always separated by something, whether it be illness or accident or 'reality'....plus the turtle won't be around to entertain the kitty for much longer. At least let them be together in fics :yep: :lol:
-
^ I agree.
To separating Tanakame in this fic I do not.
Reina likes a girl haha. Just don't let Reina's friends know and theres no problem hmm? Tanakame gets more trubbel :) :heart:
-
I have the plot all over my brain >o<!!!!!!
It's like a book I just been reading and I know like 10 differents finals for it XD
I'm a little a freak =)
-
@Shiawase-Honoo: lol glad you like the Aika here~ but Mittsi is always cute XD
@aussie: GAH don't remind me about the grads! You don't know how sad I am.. :cry:
@Fushigidane: lol we'll see who finds out first :P
@Haruka: LOL don't worry, it's not freaky. I'd know :lol:
UPDATE~~ :cow:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 16
“Kameha, are you sure you didn’t get in trouble with the math teacher again?”
“Risa-chan, you were sitting right next to me. I didn’t sleep in class today.”
The bean shot a frustrated look at her turtle friend, who flashed an innocent smile back at her. Their homeroom teacher merely laughed softly under her breath as she watched the mini quarrel between her two students.
Risa had been, for a reason that she herself is not even sure of yet, looking forward to eating lunch with Takahashi-sensei again. But she had forgotten that she always eats with her best friend when she doesn’t have make-up sessions during the lunch period. And so, Eri and Risa and Ai were all sitting underneath the large tree in the school courtyard, getting ready to eat their meal. But for some odd reason, Risa didn’t feel comfortable eating with Eri. Actually, it was more like she didn't feel comfortable with the fact that Eri was eating with Ai. The bean refused to believe it was jealousy… just discomfort.
“It’s okay, Gaki-san, I’ll leave,” Takahashi-sensei chuckled. “You should eat with your friend. I’ll go join the other teachers in the cafeteria—”
“No!” Risa interrupted a little too quickly. Eri raised an eyebrow while the teacher’s eyes grew wide. “I mean… all those other teachers are going to bother you again, so it’s not a good idea to eat with them.”
“Yeah, Sensei,” Eri chimed in with a teasing tone. She stood up and skittered next to the teacher to link arms with her, much to Risa’s glaring. “We can all eat together. Except I don’t know why our dear Iinchou is being all uptight about this…”
“I am not uptight!” Risa yelled.
“Sensei, did you see that?” Eri said with mock terror on her face. “Risa-chan just yelled at me, her best friend! Kowai~”
“You know, Kameha, I found a really good recipe for turtle soup last night—”
“Okay, stop right there!” Ai interrupted, holding up her hands. “Let’s not get into any food references, shall we?”
“Yeah, Risa-chan!” Eri said, sticking out her tongue.
“You too, Kamei-san,” Ai scolded. “Don’t tease your friend so much like that; you girls are high school students so be more mature!”
“Hai, Sensei~” Eri chirped.
“Hai…” Risa grumbled, crossing her arms across her chest.
“Now cheer up, Niigaki-san,” Takahashi-sensei smiled. “Lunch period doesn’t last forever. Let’s start eating.”
After a couple more seconds of pouting, just for pride’s sake, Risa finally started to unpack her bento from a plastic bag. Eri opened her own bento box and waited for the rest of her companions to get their lunch out. The bean took out two wooden boxes and pushed one towards her teacher.
“The promised bento,” she explained.
“Thank you so much, Niigaki-san,” Ai smiled. That made the wrinkle between Risa’s eyebrows relax more; she wasn’t happy yet, but she was a little calmer.
The teacher opened the bento box and gasped softly. Eri craned her neck to look inside the lunch box and also chocked on a breath of air. The bento was elaborately decorated with various colors of side dishes. The biggest section had the white rice with a single umeboshi and some black sesame seeds sprinkled on top. In another section, there were rows of ham cut up into the shape of a star. Next to that was the salad with lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Right beside that was the fried shrimp, all crisp and golden. In another section, there were chunks of fried chicken with sweet and sour sauce glazed over the top. The dessert section contained apples cut up into the shape of rabbits.
“Niigaki-san, you really outdid yourself!” Ai breathed.
“You never make me a bento like that!” Eri whined.
“That’s because you can make your own bento, can’t you?” Risa shot back.
“Yeah, but I’m not as good at it as you…” the turtle pouted.
“We can share this together, Kamei-san,” Ai laughed.
“Sensei, yasashii ne~” Eri smiled, her eyes sparkling. “You’re so nice! I knew I liked you from first sight.”
“I’m hungry, let’s eat,” Risa interrupted. Somehow, it kept on bothering her how Eri was sitting so close to Takahashi-sensei like they had been life-long acquaintances while she was sitting a little further across from them. She wanted to be closer to them too… she wanted to be closer to Sensei.
“Itadakimasu~” the three women chanted. Eri took in a piece of meat from her own lunch and let out a sigh of satisfaction. Risa slowly took a bite out of fried shrimp while carefully watching her teacher’s reaction to the star-shaped ham.
“This is really delicious, Gaki-san,” Takahashi-sensei commented. “I haven’t had food like this in a while. Thank you so much.” She smiled and Risa could feel her heart picking up its pace.
“I-it was nothing,” Risa mumbled. Why is my heart beating so fast? Whenever this teacher smiles, why do I suddenly feel happy? I don’t get it!
“Sensei!” Eri chirped, leaning even more into the older woman next to her. “Can I have a taste of Risa-chan’s bento?”
“Of course, Kamei-san,” Ai smiled. “What would you like?”
“This one!”
Takahashi-sensei picked up the sweet-and-sour chicken and held it out for Eri to eat. The turtle made eye contact with her friend and smirked a little before eating the chicken right out of the teacher’s chopsticks. Risa could only watch as she fumed silently.
She is so doing that on purpose! The bean thought. Kameha, focus on your own girlfriend and stop hitting on my Sensei! … Wait a minute, did I just say “my” sensei? What is wrong with me?
“Ah~ oishii!” Eri exclaimed, chewing and swallowing.
“It does taste good, doesn’t it?” Ai chimed in.
“It’s really delicious,” Eri grinned. “I knew Risa-chan was a good cook, but I think the bento is even more delicious today because she made it for you, Sensei.”
“Kameha, what are you saying?” Risa yelled, feeling her cheeks burning up. What is wrong with that aho turtle?
“Is that so?” Takahashi-sensei laughed. “That makes me kind of happy.”
It makes her happy? Risa thought, a tiny smile creeping onto her lips. Does that mean she…?
“Risa-chan, you put a lot of effort into this,” Eri continued on, smirking a little. “Sensei must be really special to you—”
Before Risa could completely explode on her friend, the turtle’s cell phone started to ring. She flipped open the phone and realized it was a text message from her own special person. Eri smiled to herself and stood up.
“Sorry, I have to make a call,” she announced. “I’ll be back in a couple minutes.”
Thank you, Reina what’s-your-name, Risa thought.
“Keep your eye on the clock,” Ai warned. “Lunch period doesn’t last forever.”
“I will,” Eri answered.
As the turtle started to leave, Risa shot her a glare that said, “You are so dead when I catch you later”. Eri responded with a smile that said, “I think I did you a favor. You don’t know your own feelings too well”.
After Eri disappeared out of sight, the teacher and the class representatives ate in silence for a couple more minutes. When Risa finally decided to speak up, both women were already chewing on the rabbit-apples.
“Sensei, you just moved here, right?” she asked. “I mean, seeing that you’re a new teacher and all.”
“Yes, I used to live in Fukui,” Ai answered. “I just moved into an apartment near downtown; I have to take a bus or the subway to get here.”
“Are you all settled in and stuff?” Risa asked. Wow, I’m asking really stupid questions. But I just want to keep talking to her…
“Not quite yet, actually,” the teacher admitted. “I was planning on going into town after school today to buy some extra supplies I need. Things like kitchen utensils. I don’t need much, but I barely have any at the moment.” She took a bite out of the apple in her hand and sighed. “I’m just worried about shopping in such a big venue; I don’t really know my way around yet.”
“I can show you!” Risa offered quickly. “I mean, I know these areas a little better than you do. I can help you carry stuff too… if you want.” I’ll probably have tons of homework, but I still want to spend more time with her…
“Would you do that?” Ai said happily. “That would be absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much, Gaki-san.”
“It’s not a problem,” Risa mumbled under her breath, feeling her cheeks getting warm again.
Giggling a little at the bean’s shy reaction, Ai continued to finish up the rest of the bento. Risa ate at a slower pace while she watched the beautiful woman sitting across from her.
Could Eri be right? She thought. Could it be that I really don’t know my own feelings? Why am I going so far for this person…?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not exactly a strict TakaGaki for this chapter, but you guys have something to look forward to now, right? :twothumbs
:byebye: :sleep:
-
Dear Gaki... Eri IS right, you baka girl, just accept it :smhid
Well, definitely we have something to look forward now :grin: :grin:
Waitin' moar :cow:
Peace~~ :peace:
-
Risa has become oblivious to her actions, get yourself together and go for it! :)
-
lol yes, yes it does my friend X3

“It’s okay, Gaki-san, I’ll leave,” Takahashi-sensei chuckled. “You should eat with your friend. I’ll go join the other teachers in the cafeteria—”

“Sensei, did you see that?” Eri said with mock terror on her face. “Risa-chan just yelled at me, her best friend! Kowai~”
“You know, Kameha, I found a really good recipe for turtle soup last night—”
:mon lmao:
Why is my heart beating so fast? Whenever this teacher smiles, why do I suddenly feel happy? I don’t get it!
Because you love her. Risa stop being so stupid! :scolding:
Wow, I’m asking really stupid questions. But I just want to keep talking to her…
:luvluv2:
I’ll probably have tons of homework, but I still want to spend more time with her…
:luvluv1:
Could Eri be right? She thought. Could it be that I really don’t know my own feelings? Why am I going so far for this person…?
Because you're in love with her :wriggly: NOW STOP BEING STUPID, AND GO MAKE OUT WITH YOUR SENSEI!!! :gmon pissed:
-
But for some odd reason, Risa didn’t feel comfortable eating with Eri. Actually, it was more like she didn't feel comfortable with the fact that Eri was eating with Ai. The bean refused to believe it was jealousy… just discomfort.
tsk tsk tsk gaki-chan it it jealousy :on cigar:
“You know, Kameha, I found a really good recipe for turtle soup last night—”

don't know why...but I really like this part :lol: :lol: :lol:
“You never make me a bento like that!” Eri whined.
Because Aichan is special :wub:
“We can share this together, Kamei-san,” Ai laughed.
“Sensei, yasashii ne~” Eri smiled, her eyes sparkling. “You’re so nice! I knew I liked you from first sight.”
hm....I sense some jealousy :P
“Sensei!” Eri chirped, leaning even more into the older woman next to her. “Can I have a taste of Risa-chan’s bento?”
“Of course, Kamei-san,” Ai smiled. “What would you like?”
“This one!”
Takahashi-sensei picked up the sweet-and-sour chicken and held it out for Eri to eat. The turtle made eye contact with her friend and smirked a little before eating the chicken right out of the teacher’s chopsticks. Risa could only watch as she fumed silently.
More jealousy? :lol: :lol: :lol:
“Sorry, I have to make a call,” she announced. “I’ll be back in a couple minutes.”
Thank you, Reina what’s-your-name, Risa thought.
Reina for the day!!! XD
yeah i'm looking for the next chapter :lol: :lol: :lol:
don't know if its correct but the nxt chap shoud be junsayu right? :?
since it goes: TanaKame -> AiGaki -> JunSayu
-
TakaGaki!!!
I love Eri in this chap!
She's so brilliant!
I think next chap that Gakisan will do the thing so far that I though :twisted:
P.S. Turtle soup it sounds good :drool:
-
@Michi.Pinku: lol who would've though Gaki is the bakajo? XD
@kurosawa87: she really needs to pick herself up :lol:
@kawaii beam: then continue looking forward to it :P
@xcutex: LOL we all want Gakisan to go make out with her sensei XD XD
@fallenxangel: ooh~ you caught on! usually it's that pattern... sometimes i flip it around but usually... yeah XD
@Shiawase_Honoo: LOL i don't even know it turtle soup exists :lol:
SO i guess the last chapter was a comedy chapter more than anything... and the "Yell at GAkisan to realize her own feelings" chapter XD
And as fallenxangel has predicted, the next chapter is ShigeJun~ i'm workin on it now :twothumbs
-
SHIGEJUN!!!! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
I was waiting this :panic: Now I'm impatient :bleed eyes:
Looking Forward ><
Peace~~ :peace:
-
I love the teasing from Kamei! :lol:
I hope Ai-chan is getting hints about Gaki's feelings because of the way she acts. :mon innocent:
I wonder what Reina's phone call for Kamei was about. :dunno:
Yay, I'm looking forward to TakaGaki since they'll be shopping together! :mon squee:
ShigeJun is going to be good! :D
-
yeah!!! I was right for the first time :cow: :cow: :cow:
-
I so love shy Risa. She's usually so outgoing and outspoken, so for her to be so demure, especially towards Teacher!Ai is just..... Cuddle-tastic XD It's so awesome, it deserves a new word. :lol: The Eri teasing parts were great, Risa doesn't even realize how obvious she's being. Somehow, though, I don't think Ai will be oblivious for long. I wonder how long it will take her to fall for the young bean in return? And how long it will take for both to experience some heartache.
-

Chapter 17
Too loud. The atmosphere, the entire school, all the female students… everything was just loud. All she wanted was some peace and quiet during lunch period, at least, but that seemed impossible. The classrooms were noisy with various gossiping. The courtyard was filled with chatters between friends and couples. The field was occupied with shouts and cheers of some girls playing and watching a soccer game. But at least in the front field, the noise was a little further away from the bleachers.
She sat on the front row seat with her bento clutched to her chest. She flipped her long black hair behind her back before placing the lunchbox on her lap. She couldn’t wait to open the bento and see the creation of her kitchen maid for today’s lunch; there was always some sort of reference to rabbits, whether it was the rice or the onigiri or the apples.
She was starting to get sick of the place already. All the girls seemed obnoxious and rude; even though Morning Gakuen was a prestigious private school, the students didn’t act so lady-like. But she was even keener on the fact that the girls were only obnoxious to her. They all had their own group of friends to be nice to. Was there something wrong with her or was it the rest of the girls?
But she had always known she wasn’t a very social girl. She had tried to make friends in the past, but it never really worked out. People were usually jealous of her cute face, or scared of being compared to her. She didn’t want to be nice to those kinds of people anymore; so whenever she opened her mouth, only poisonous words were spat out. Thus, her already endangered social life had come to be extinct.
Sighing, the girl quickly shook away her thoughts in her head. She decided not to think about the school she was stuck in because of her parents, or the fact that she had that stalker on her tail… She shuddered at the memory.
“Heads up!”
She looked up in time to see a girl out in the field, wearing the gym uniform pants under her skirt, kicking the soccer ball at full power towards the bleachers. That girl was… smiling. And all the other girls around her had the same expression. They were doing this on purpose.
She realized it was already too late by the time the ball was shooting towards her. She hugged the bento to her chest again and shut her eyes tightly, waiting for the pain of the soccer ball to hit her head. Instead, there was only the sound of the rubber ball hitting skin… but not her skin.
She opened her eyes to see a tall girl with long black hair, braided into corn roses on one side, who was holding her arm protectively in front with the soccer ball in hand.
“Hey, that was pretty dangerous!” she whistled, dropping the ball and shaking her hand out. The voice was unmistakable.
“Junjun!” the girl who had kicked the ball yelled, panicking. “I-uh… um… are you hurt?”
“Hey, who am I?” the tall panda smirked, putting her hands on her hips. “I’m Li Chun. Have you ever seen me get hurt?”
“Ha-ha… I guess, uh… I guess not,” the girl laughed nervously while her friends also shifted their eyes back and forth restlessly.
“Usa-chan,” Junjun said, turning her head slightly to look back at the rescued girl, “are you okay?”
The black haired girl said nothing. Instead, she frowned and clutched her lunch box even tighter to her chest, if that was even possible. She tossed her hair and started to walk away from the bleachers. Junjun scratched her head, whistling.
“Hey, what’s with that girl?” the soccer player complained. “That’s why I was trying to teach her a lesson, Junjun! She has absolutely no manners and is a real bit—”
“Careful there,” Junjun smiled in a mysterious way. “I don’t want you or anybody to cause trouble in this school. The only person who can cause violence around here… is me.” She winked at the soccer girls in the field and made eye contact with them; it seemed like a friendly gesture but somehow, it sent chills down the students’ spines.
** ** **
Sayumi continued to walk towards the back of the school building, frustrated. There was no place in this whole damn place where she could find peace and quiet, was there? Every single time she thinks she can finally catch a breath, a different thing happens. Today was definitely not her day.
And that stalker-player girl was up in her business again! What was with her anyway? Why was she bothering her all the time? And last time, she had even licked her ear…
The bunny shuddered while thinking about it. She continued to stomp at a steady pace around the building. Maybe she could find some peace in the back where there was no courtyard or field or any sort of area that students could gather in.
“Hey, wait up!”
Ugh, it was her again. That voice was easily identifiable now. Sayumi could hear her running behind but she didn’t stop.
“Leave me alone!” the bunny growled.
“Don’t I deserve some sort of gratitude for what I did back there?” the voice said, suddenly right behind her. “That ball could’ve done some serious damage to
your brain.”
“I never asked for your help!” Sayumi shot back.
“I still think I deserve some sort of thank you,” the chuckling voice said.
Suddenly, the black-haired girl could feel someone grabbing her wrist. She was immediately flipped around and quickly pushed against the wall. Before she could try to break free, a pair of warm lips quickly overtook her mouth. Her eyes opened wide; she tried to scream but nothing came out except muffled whimpers. Not like anybody would come to her rescue anyway; this was Junjun who was kissing her, the supposed cool girl of the school. And she was only the antisocial new girl in comparison. So why was she kissing her…?
The bunny could practically feel the panda’s smile on her lips. Before Sayumi could do anything, the taller girl’s tongue quickly penetrated her lips and brushed against her own tongue. The bunny let out more whimpers at this contact but she still couldn’t find a way to move. The kiss was an unwanted one, but somehow it still felt… warm. It was soft and gentle, but still stimulated some sort of desire within her.
She gasped softly as she came back to her senses; Sayumi thought for another second and quickly jabbed her knees up. But Junjun backed away just in time to avoid the knee-kick. She smirked as she licked her lips.
“You taste sweet, Usa-chan,” she murmured. “Kind of like candy.”
“How dare you!” Sayumi shrieked. “You’re terrible! Why won’t you leave me alone?”
“Because you’re interesting,” the panda grinned. “And I’m just really bored.”
So that’s all I am? The shorter girl thought, clenching her fists. A toy? How dare she! I’m not putting up with that!
“Say, how about we play a game, Usa-chan?” Junjun proposed. “It might work out in your favor.”
“What kind of game?”
“I challenge you to beat me in a simple battle,” the panda explained. “Maybe something like who can get a random person’s phone number off the street faster. If you win, I’ll do whatever you want. I’ll even stay away from you for the rest of your school years.”
“… And if you win?”
“If I win, you have to do whatever I say for an entire day,” Junjun smiled. “I’d say it’s to your advantage, Usa-chan. My wish only applies for a day; your wish applies for years.”
If I win this game against her, Sayumi thought, I’ll finally be rid of her. I’ll never have to be attacked like I was today…
“So, how about it?”
“I’m in,” the bunny said, glaring up at the panda.
“Great,” Junjun grinned. “Meet me after school by the gates. We’ll go into town together.”
“Fine.”
The bunny shot one more leer at the delinquent before stomping away. The panda sighed and swept her hair back behind her ears before licking her lips again. There was a small whistle from above alone with slow clapping. Junjun looked up to find her two lackeys, sitting side by side on a tree.
“Bravo, Jun-senpai,” Aika grinned. “I’m impressed. You really have her tied down this time.”
“And the kiss was pretty charismatic too,” Linlin commented. “I should try that out one day.” She smiled at her girlfriend who nudged her shyly.
“Yada~” Aika giggled.
“Hey, if you’re going to talk, then stop flirting and come down,” Junjun ordered, smiling at the ridiculousness of it all. “And don’t climb trees in school. You’re
not ninjas.”
“It was Lin’s idea,” Aika laughed at her blushing girlfriend.
“I had a Naruto re-run marathon last night,” the younger panda said, scratching her head. “Sorry.”
“Was that on TV last night?” Junjun questioned. “I thought it was next week…”
“Focus, senpai!” Aika said, clapping her hands together. “I hope you have a plan for this game after school. You have to win or you won’t get the girl.”
“And you’ll complain to us all the time about how bored you are again…” Linlin sighed.
“Come on, girls, have you ever seen me lose a game before?” Junjun smirked. “This is my turf. And nobody beats me at my own game.”

Next is TanaKame~ main couple! :twothumbs
:sleep: :byebye:
-
Jun saves Sayu, Sayu is annoyed, but Sayu doesn't know about Jun's bg, maybe an interesting twist to everything :nervous
-
That was good~ :twothumbs But why did Jun have to go and tell Sayu that she was "bored"??! :mon scratch: That didn't really help her in getting Sayu, did it? :mon unsure:
I wonder how the game would go. :P :roll: Jun would probably win because Sayu isn't very social, but if Sayu wins, that'll just add more twist and turns. :mon dunno:
Wooohooo! TanaKame next! :on woohoo:
-
Jun is such a player. :lol: And poor Sayu, it almost sounds like she can't help being a snobby jerk. XD Somehow, I wanna see Jun make Sayu cry with all her "The only reason I'm interested in you is that I'm bored" talk and then Jun feels bad about it. Of course, she'd have to think of an awesome way to apologize. :pimp: Wonder what you have in store for Tanakmae next? :huhuh
-
....3, 2, 1 Action! :twothumbs
Next Battle:
The Pimp Junjun versus Narcissist Sayu XD XD XD
Who will get the phone numbers first?
Sayu or Junjun!!!!
you can read it in next week! (maybe)
.....and cut!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
and wait for TanaKame

She opened her eyes to see a tall girl with long black hair, braided into corn roses on one side, who was holding her arm protectively in front with the soccer ball in hand. .........

Ah Man! Jun can be pretty cool at times in this fic, and also quite menacing :panic:
Suddenly, the black-haired girl could feel someone grabbing her wrist. She was immediately flipped around and quickly pushed against the wall.

Not like anybody would come to her rescue anyway; this was Junjun who was kissing her, the supposed cool girl of the school. And she was only the antisocial new girl in comparison. So why was she kissing her…?
and then she goes from being the cool one to being a bit of a stalker :angry: Kinda not getting Jun's character at the moment, sometimes she is sweet and kind but around Sayu she is completly different, I wonder if it is just Sayu or has she been like this with all the girls she's gets with? Not liking this part of Jun's character in the fic :frustrated: I know she say's she is only playinmg with Sayu and things but somehow I think there's more to it then that, hopefully Jun will get to fully appreciate Sayu in time?
The bunny could practically feel the panda’s smile on her lips. Before Sayumi could do anything, the taller girl’s tongue quickly penetrated her lips and brushed against her own tongue. The bunny let out more whimpers at this contact but she still couldn’t find a way to move. The kiss was an unwanted one, but somehow it still felt… warm. It was soft and gentle, but still stimulated some sort of desire within her.
Though perhaps Sayu dosn't mind that much after all :nervous
Cheering on Sayu to get the number first and for Jun to be proper gutted about having to not bother Sayu anymore (as she really likrs her) but then perhaps Sayu will start to miss Jun as well? :wub:

Have no fear, Junjun is here!

-
@kurosawa87: lol at this point, I think every plot is twisted XD
@kano-chan: Jun's the type of person who jokes with just about everything she says. Except you can tell if she's serious when she is... mysterious :lol:
@rndmnwierd: lol playah jun and snobby sayu is a match in heaven, at least for me XD
@fallenxangel: LOL I like your CM/advertisement :twothumbs
@oddball: aww sorry you didnt really like the Jun here... but I'll tell you that she knows what she's doing so everything will be okay~ :P
@XcuteX: lol Junjun da hero :yossi: :D
Glad you like the chapter guys~ I'm getting more obsessed with ShigeJun as I write, but that might also be because I know the future :lol:
I'm gonna try to write again today since I don't have classes, but I do have work so I gotta balance my time XD
*on a side note, last episode of Sungkyunkwan Scandal is tonight!!! :twothumbs

:bleed eyes:
haha I like this couple , Thanks to you :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic:
Your fanfic ...is The best !!!!!!!!!!! *scream* :frustrated:
-
SHIGEJUN SHIGEJUN SHIGEJUN :panic: :panic: :panic:
okee... You know, I love this pairing :nervous , sorry for the overreaction
When I was reading this chapter I was so exciting and the kiss part, just kill me :bleed eyes:
ubber cute >< Could be Sayu feeling something for the pimp Jun? Maybe, I just hope Jun wins
the game, in this way Sayu will do everything Jun says... well, just for one day but, something is something :roll:
Waiting TanaKame Chapter insanely ~~ :cow: :cow:
Peace~~ :peace:
-
I see two possibilities. 1) Jun wins like she always does and during that one day Sayu sees something else in Jun and opens up to her; 2) Sayu wins and when she is suddenly deprived of Jun's badgering she starts feeling this emptiness and it will be her turn to start chasing after the panda. Unfortunately for Sayu Jun won't be such a willing player this time around until Jun can't keep up with the pretence :lol:
As for TanaKame. Sigh. Meanwhile in the story.......just tell her already Eri!!
-
Mmmmmmmmm... >o<
Something tells me, Jun's going to lose XD
And Usa-chan gonna miss her =O
Or maybe the other way XD I don't know, I'm starting to love the ShigueJun as well XD
-
oh snapz~ jun vs sayu comeptition~ X3 i wonder how many numbers sayu could get^^; XD gun will probably get 60 in 1 min XD
-
@oddball: aww sorry you didnt really like the Jun here... but I'll tell you that she knows what she's doing so everything will be okay~ :P
It's not that I don't like Jun, what I was saying was that it seems really out of character for Jun in the fic, perhaps that's the idea but I can't see why she would do this to Sayu, As long as she knows what she's doing I'm content! :twothumbs
-
!#@%$^%&$^&*$(%^&*%@#@
*what is this!?!?*
Oh!!! I love JunShige!!
I can't wait for the game that they bet on...and I think Jun's bet is higher than I think :drool:
And I wait for TanaKame pair :wub:
P.S.LinAika kawaii :inlove:

Goodness, I haven't posted in here for a while.
Please excuse the lack of replies I have, for I don't always comment for every single chapter.
Sometimes, I comment when there is something I really have to say about it
This chapter is actually really cute~
Jun is so charismatic with her kiss, and am I sensing that Sayu is slowly giving in?
Well, she did feel warm when Junjun kissed her :)
Can't wait for the future chapters. I'm really curious as to what the game is. ^^
-
yeah I was boring at the time so I change my comment a little to an ad :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Sorry! I'm in a rush, so no comment replies! But I did read everything and I truly appreciate how you guys are sticking with me! XD
Things have been quite hectic for me (midterms, research papers, other essays, etc.) which resulted in this severe inactivity, but I'm really am trying! :sweatdrop: :nervous
Hopefully, this chapter will make you guys feel better? :thumbsup
I didn't get to even revise this chapter so if there are mistakes, please let me know~ and bare with the poor wording if there are any :nervous

Chapter 18
Eri kicked the pebble across the field, being careful not to hit anybody. She zipped up her red sweatshirt half way and pushed down her cap onto her head. Girls stared at her and giggled and whispered as they left the school, but Eri kept her gaze straight. She only cared about one girl and one girl only: the person who had texted her during lunch time to come pick her up after school.
The turtle smiled as she thought of her girlfriend— she could finally call her “girlfriend”— and her invitation to go to the aquarium today. The tickets they had won at Café Buono was about to expire, so they had to use it fast. But Eri’s smile faltered a little as her bean friend’s words echoed in her head. She had to confess her real gender today, and she had to do it soon.
How would Reina react? Would she understand? Would she care? Or would she dump her and never see her again? Eri shuddered at the thought. She didn’t she could live without seeing the kitten anymore; Reina was already such a big part of her life that she could never let go. But if Reina lets go first… what could Eri do?
“Don’t make such a sad face, pretty boy; a smile suits you more.”
Eri jumped with a start and looked to her side. Next to her was a petit girl who wore a grin that seemed like the brightest thing in the world to the turtle. She couldn’t help but smile back.
“I wasn’t making a sad face,” Eri denied.
“Oh please, you should’ve seen yourself,” Reina scoffed, rolling her eyes. “You looked like a turtle that lost its shell. What’s on your mind?”
“Um… you see… that’s, uh…”
“So this is the famous boyfriend!”
Reina gasped as she felt someone jump on her from behind and bring her into a tight hug. Eri’s eyes widened at the tall black-haired girl who was smirking at her. Two shorter girls came up to Reina’s side and linked their arms with hers.
“Oh wow, you’re prettier up close!” one of the short girls said with a heavy accent.
“You’re a little too pretty though,” the other short girl grumbled. “Are you sure you’re a boy?”
“Don’t be silly, Aika,” the tall girl who was hugging Reina laughed. “We promised not to make that joke, remember?”
“I know, I know…”
“What do you guys think you’re doing?” Reina yelled, breaking free from the tall panda’s arm and standing next to her “boyfriend”. “And don’t creep up on me like that, Jun.”
“Hey, we just wanted to meet our friend’s boyfriend,” Junjun said, holding up her hands in defense. “You should introduce us Reina, because we’re not leaving until we meet him.”
“… Fine,” the kitten sighed, knowing the panda was right. “Guys, this is Kamei Eriku, Eri for short. Eri, these are my… uh… friends… Junjun, Aika, and Linlin.”
“Nice to meet you, Eri,” Junjun said, offering her hand. “I don’t know how you managed to melt down this ice block here but congratulations anyway.”
“Uh, thanks,” Eri answered, shaking the yankii leader’s hand.
“You seem like a nice person, Eri!” Linlin greeted. “Please take good care of Reina-senpai.”
“If you ever hurt her, I won’t forgive you,” Aika grumbled.
“Now, Aika, that’s my job,” Junjun grinned. “Just stay cool and we can all be friends, Eri.”
“Uh, right…” the turtle said. The tallest girl seemed nice enough, but something about her smile made her shiver.
“Okay, wonderful, we’re all friends,” Reina said flatly. “Now can we leave and trust that you girls won’t follow us?”
“Yeah, go and enjoy your date or whatever,” Junjun laughed. “Nice meeting you, Eri.”
“Nice meeting you too—”
“Great, great, great, let’s leave!” the ex-yankii said quickly. She grabbed the turtle’s hand and started to run, dragging Eri behind her. Junjun smirked while Linlin just grinned at the happy couple. Aika crossed her arms and pouted.
“He doesn’t even look strong enough to protect Reina-senpai!” she complained. “He looks all girly and flimsy.”
“It’s not like Reina needs any protection,” Junjun chuckled. “Eri seems like an interesting character.”
“I like him!” Linlin exclaimed. “He seems pretty together.”
“Yeah…” Junjun agreed, raising an eyebrow. “But there’s something about him that’s a little… off.”
** ** **
“I can’t believe… we ran… all the way… here…” Eri huffed, trying to take in some oxygen.
“Sorry… I didn’t… want them… to bother… us…” Reina wheezed, also breathing heavily.
The two girls straightened their backs, still trying to calm their breath. They had run all the way to the aquarium without stop, due to Reina’s insecurity about her “friends”. They were still holding hands when Eri started to laugh.
“What’s so funny?” the kitten raised an eyebrow.
“You’re friends seem pretty nice,” Eri chuckled. “They’re really clingy but you just couldn’t wait to get away from them. I don’t know; it was interesting to watch you lose your cool for a second there.”
“I didn’t lose my cool!” Reina said, her cheeks blushing. “It’s just… I wanted to be alone with you as soon as possible…”
The ex-yankii’s face turned even redder as she started to slightly regret saying that. Eri’s eyes widened as she blushed a little too. She then smiled and put her arm around her petit girlfriend.
“I want to be with you too,” the turtle whispered. Reina smiled and looked down shyly. Eri had never seen her act like this before. It was kind of cute.
So the turtle took her girlfriend’s hand and led her into the aquarium. Reina handed the ticket booth lady their free passes and they were immediately let in.
“So,” Eri started, “where do you want to go first?”
“Anywhere is fine,” Reina smiled.
“That’s actually the worst answer you could give me,” Eri groaned, “because now I really don’t know where to take you…”
“Well, if I have to choose…” Reina murmured, grinning mischievously. She tiptoed to whisper into the turtle’s ear, “How about a nice, quiet corner where we can do something fun together alone?”
Eri gasped as she felt the temperature of her cheeks skipping up a couple degrees. The kitten backed away to face her “boyfriend” with a smirk and quickly pecked “him” on his cheek.
“Just kidding,” she giggled. “Let’s go see the penguins first!”
With that, Reina skipped away merrily, her long straight brown hair swishing behind her. Eri just stared at her girlfriend, awe-stricken, and adjusted her cap.
I lost to her again, the turtle thought, sighing. She’s totally playing with me right now. Not like I mind so much, but…
“Eri, come on!” Reina called happily, holding out her hand. She was about ten feet away now, waiting for her lover to take her hand.
I guess I can play along in her game for a while, Eri thought, grinning. She’s one in a million; I’ll do anything for her.
The turtle quickly skittered through the lobby and took her girlfriend’s hand. Together, the couple found a map to direct them to the penguin exhibit, and continued on to their destination.
Throughout the whole day, the two girls visited almost every exhibit they could; most of them were requests from Reina but Eri was only happy to oblige so it didn’t matter so much. The best part of the day for Reina was probably the ice cream; she was actually quite scared of all the animals but not the penguin-shaped popsicle. The worst experience for the kitten was the dolphins; ironically enough, that was the best part of the day for Eri.
“Ah, this is scary!” Reina screamed. “Yada!”
“Relax, Reina!” the turtle laughed. “I thought you wanted to do this?”
“I did!” the ex-yankii screamed back in an overly loud voice. “But I thought you were going to do this with me!”
“Oh… Sorry about that. I, uh… have a slight cold so… I don’t want it to get worse.”
It was an excuse of course; Eri knew she couldn’t get in the water topless like actual guys with a life vest on. So Reina was in the outdoor water pool with a dolphin trainer, floating on the deep side, getting ready to surf with the dolphins.
“Kowai, kowai, KOWAI!” Reina continued to scream at the top of her lungs. “YADA!”
“Okay, are you set?” the dolphin trainer yelled. “Please firmly grab onto the dorsal fins! Okay, let’s go!”
The trainer gave the signal and the two dolphins started to swim full speed at the floating kitten. Reina stared with a worried expression at her lover, who was standing near the steps with only her feet in the water. She grinned and mouthed words of encouragement. But for a moment, Reina started concentrate too much on the way Eri was smiling, like the way her mouth curved up to reveal her crooked smile, and the way her eyes arched into those eye-smiles…
“Ichi… Ni… San!”
Reina suddenly perked back to life and realized the dolphin’s fins slipped right from her hands.
“It’s okay, Reina!” Eri yelled. “Just try again!”
“You want me to TRY AGAIN?” Reina shrilled. “Why don’t YOU show me how it’s done, Eri?”
“If you don’t do it now, you’re going to regret it later!” Eri teased.
“… Fine,” the kitten sniffed.
And so, the dolphins dashed towards the scared girl again. But this time, she made sure she didn’t look at her “boyfriend” for any encouragement and was able to completely focus on the dolphins; in the end, she managed to latch onto their dorsal fins and swim across the pool.
“That was great, Reina!” Eri laughed. “Otsukaresama~”
“I thought I was going to have a heart attack…” Reina huffed, shuffling out of the pool. She shivered a little and sneezed a couple times. Eri quickly put a large towel around her alone with her own arms. She embraced her girlfriend tightly and kissed her on the head.
“You did great,” Eri whispered. “I’m proud of you.”
“Mm… I think this made that worthwhile,” Reina mumbled back, smiling.
Other than that big laugh, Eri was content with just following around Reina wherever she wanted to go, and tried to think of ways she could confess her real gender to the girl of her dreams. But their aquarium date was going so well, Eri hardly wanted to ruin that. But Risa’s voice didn’t stop echoing in her head, and she knew her bean friend was right. Reina had to know the truth and know the truth now before something else happened.
At the end of their tour around the aquarium, the couple ended up in a long underwater tunnel where various fishes swam all around them. The water itself seemed to glow in the dark corridors aside from the faint stream of light on the floor. The tunnel was mostly empty because there were a lot of animal shows going on at the same time, but Reina and Eri had already caught the first shows in the afternoon. Reina walked up to one side of the glass and observed the colorful fishes.
“Kirei…” she whispered. “They’re beautiful…”
“I can think of something more beautiful than the fishes here,” Eri said, stepping next to her girlfriend, “or someone.”
“That’s the oldest line in the book, Eri,” Reina laughed. “You have to come up with new ones to impress me.”
“Is there a deadline?” Eri joked.
“You have all the time you need,” Reina smiled.
She wrapped her arms around her lover’s neck and brought herself closer to Eri’s warm arms. The turtle responded back by embracing her girlfriend back. She stroked the shorter girl’s hair for a while, which was still a little wet from the dolphin surfing. Eri bit down on her lips and pulled away a little to face her girlfriend.
“Look… Reina,” she started nervously. “I haven’t been completely honest with you this whole time. Everything you see— my looks, my character, my personality— it’s all real. But there’s one thing I’ve been hiding from you. And I know this may be selfish of me, but I really hope whatever I say next won’t change anything between us.”
“Hey, I told you I used to be a delinquent,” Reina grinned. “I almost ended up with a prison record. I want nothing more than for you to be completely honest to me too.”
“Really?” Eri said, feeling a little hopeful.
“Of course. And speaking of being honest…” Reina hesitated, “is it okay if I confess just one more thing?”
“More than okay,” Eri answered. “You go first.”
“The truth is, when I first met you… I thought you were a girl,” Reina laughed nervously, biting down on her lips. Eri’s expression tightened but she didn’t say anything. So the kitten continued on, “But from the way you were dressed, you looked like a boy. I just decided that you were a real baby-face and called you, ‘pretty boy’, remember that? You were so cute back then, so innocent and clueless with the money and stuff! You weren’t even my type at all but I guess I was attracted to you even back then. So somehow, I made myself believe that you were a boy. And you were… so I couldn’t be happier right now. Does this all sound weird to you?”
“… Um, just a little…” Eri mumbled. What could she say now? Reina just confessed that she was happy to discover that Eri was a boy! How could she reveal her true gender after that?
“I knew it sounded weird…” Reina said, scratching her head. Her cheeks turned soft pink as she started to think of what to say next. “But I still want to let you know that I’m not treating you like a kid or anything, I mean… you’re my boyfriend. And I couldn’t hope for a better lover. I guess I’m just trying to say… su… ki… yo… hontou ni… mm… d-dai… su—”
“Is it really that hard to say?” Eri laughed nervously.
“Hey, I’m trying my best here!” Reina whined, blushing furiously.
“It’s okay, Reina,” the turtle chuckled. “I can tell from your face anyway. I guess this is something I can teach you.”
With that, Eri pulled her girlfriend back into her arms and leaned close to her ears.
“Reina wa kawaii,” she whispered, grinning. “Dakara suki. Daisuki.”
“… Shut up…” the ex-yankii mumbled.
She could feel her heart about to explode from her chest. She had been held by other guys before but nobody had been this sweet to her. She lightly punched Eri’s shoulder and hung her head down, refusing to show her red face to the chuckling turtle. But Eri only tilted her head more to meet eyes with the shy kitten. Following her lover’s lead, Reina slowly raised her head and closed her eyes. A second later, she felt the softness of Eri’s lips meet with hers, followed by the sweetness of her tongue. They swirled around each other, each trying to get more of the other. Eri gently pushed Reina against the glass wall and trapped her in her arms, pushing her lips against hers more fiercely. Reina removed Eri’s cap and knotted her fingers into the short hair of her lover to get even more into the kiss. Together, they completed each other. All the emptiness that Reina had felt in the past no longer existed when she was with Eri like this. And the turtle didn’t want anything to break this moment. Not even the one most important truth about her.
I guess my confession will have to wait, Eri thought. I can’t disappoint Reina like this. I can just tell her tomorrow or another day. Besides, what difference would a couple more days make?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE: I based the dolphin part on the famous scene from Morning Musume Alo-Hello 3:
Tanaka Reina is Bad With Dolphins... (subtitled) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJP6EUDHXio#ws)
Next is TakaGaki! (If you remember, Takahashi sensei and Gaki iinchou were going afterschool shopping) XD
:byebye: :sleep:

Yay! I'm so happy you updated! :cow: And don't worry because we will stick with you! :thumbsup
That was so cute! I thought that Eri was really going to tell Reina about her real gender, but I thought, hmm...isn't that happening too fast? :mon dunno: So the confession would have to wait. That's something to look forward too! :twothumbs But I'm worried about how Reina would react. She was relieved that Eri was a "boy". :mon pray2:
Can't wait to go shopping with TakaGaki! :mon squee:
And I can totally understand about the work and all. I have research papers to do too. :mon study:
-
So Eri in the end couldn't reveal her gender XD, although the dolphin part was pretty funny irl :nervous
-
Kiss *u*
Love that part ~
No truth about gender >o<
BadGirl Kamei part ~
In conclussion XD I Love it <3
OMG TakaGaki o_O I want it XD
Thanks so much for update in your busy life T____T
-
Explosion imminent! Danger, danger Kamei Eri, danger! Of course, I look forward to Takagaki the most. Something about the teacher/student thing. It's so...naughty.

An update!!! :cow:
She could feel her heart about to explode from her chest. She had been held by other guys before but nobody had been this sweet to her.

:ptam-shy:
Why didn't Eri tell Reina that she's actually a girl? I have a bad feeling about this...
You're not going to make Reina hate Eri, right? Because if you do... :ptam-kill:
Next is TakaGaki! (If you remember, Takahashi sensei and Gaki iinchou were going afterschool shopping)
I can't wait!
-
@kano-chan: OMG I HATE research papers! They are my life's nemesis now :bleed eyes:
@kurosawa87: oh yeah, Eri's too soft XD
@Haruka: noooo thank you for commenting even though I'm so inactive :lol:
@rndmnwierd: LOL naughty is good, right? :twisted:
@fallenxangel: oh Junjun just scares me sometimes, even though I'm the one writing it :P
@XcuteX: :shocked scary... *runs away*
*comes back*
ahh~ Thanks to all who left comments! They do help immensely~ And please know that just because I'm inactive, doesn't mean I'm sick of this story yet... you know, the way some writers do XD
I'm still thinking of lot of scenarios so look forward to it~ :D
-
Reina practically gave Eri the chance to 'fess up, but I guess Eri couldn't shatter Reina's 'illusion' of her as a boy when she had just said she was glad Eri turned out to be a boy. A conflict seems inevitable, I just hope Reina isn't too harsh with Eri or Eri is pushed to her limits in what she can handle. I have a funny feeling that Jun will have something to do with exposing Eri; in the least, I think Jun will be the first to find out Eri is a girl, but for some reason I don't think she'll mercilessly expose her or something. Maybe Jun could even help Eri come to her true self with Reina?
Oh, it's just so adorable how Aika is protective of her senpai, measuring up Eri the 'boyfriend' XD
Of course, I look forward to Takagaki the most. Something about the teacher/student thing. It's so...naughty.
Same here :lol: (though, I keep my focus on TanaKame :D)
-
Finally caught up~!
You've got a really interesting story here, Saranghai, no doubt... I love that you always try to include all the members (which can be quite demanding to do - imo, anyway) and give us pretty good characters at that.
Now, I can't quite get enough of my TakaGaki fix in this story. The idea of a student/teacher affair... while I usually won't condone (being a teacher myself and all >.<)... it really does lend quite a nice edge to this slowly developing relationship between them. ^___^ So far, TakaGaki has only been sweet, sweet, sweet... I really can't imagine them getting hot and heavy, but when the time comes, I'll take it all in stride :drool:
So yeah, as for the pairings, my favourite is definitely TakaGaki here.
What's going on between Tanakame... :/
Honestly? I did prefer them in Kokoro no Uta. They were uber, uber cute there. Not that they're not cute here. There's definitely a lot going on between the two in this story, but I just felt that Reina's returning of Eri's feelings was a little abrupt. I thought Eri was going to have it really hard... at least another 20 or so chapters before she managed to get the kitten softened up and all XD So I don't quite buy it at this point; things are moving so quickly! I can understand Eri's falling for Reina, and I can understand love at first sight and everything, but from the impression I got of Reina at the beginning, I didn't think she would bend to Eri so fast, is all. Still, I do enjoy their scenes together, but I feel like I have to suspend a bit of disbelief (aside from the fact that anybody can mistake Eri for a boy :lol:) in order to.
SayuJun.... now this is another very interesting couple. A good character to give Sayu. And Jun... wow, such a player, so confident XD
Jun's being a little forceful though, isn't she? Kissing Sayu like that when she obviously doesn't want it. That kind of surprised me, I thought Jun wouldn't do that, and my respect for her fell a bit... but some of the other readers seemed to enjoy that >.< LOL. Anyway, I'm looking forward to see how things unravel between these two. Another story where Jun's chasing after Sayu... lol.
Overall, good job with the story. I remember mentioning to you that I would've liked to see more detail in your story, but I can understand considering you're so busy and stuff. ^__^
And please know that just because I'm inactive, doesn't mean I'm sick of this story yet... you know, the way some writers do XD
I'm still thinking of lot of scenarios so look forward to it~ :D
Well, definitely feels like you were into your previous story a lot more xD
I hope you don't get burnt out with so much on your plate. I guess... take your time, make sure you get your sleep and rest!
Good luck with everything!
Thanks for the story, and am waiting for your next update. TakaGaki, YUM.
:heart:
-
OMG! I like this chapter so much, Eri so sweet and about her gender... It will shock Reina -> Junjun and others angry -> a " fight for love" absolutely will happen, I think so. but hard as it is, Eri will fight with all her strenght for her love even it may cost her life.
And SarangAi, stay healthy. Your readers always care for you, you sick no one is happy; get more sleep and eat healthy foods. good luck and have a nice week ^^
-
Reina
and
Eri
:shocked: :w00t:
Oh no Reina should be more careful with her words too :lol:
-
@aussie: don't we all hope Reina won't be too hard on Eri... we'll see :twisted:
@Beecubed: ah~ I always wait for your comment because I feel like I get some pretty nice constructive criticisms from you :thumbsup Yeah, I definitely poured more into Kokoro no Uta than Chigatte mo Iin da yo! because at the moment, I'm just so busy with classes and stuff like that. So I'm making the story flow a LOT faster than I originally planned so I can get to new things before anybody gets sick of it :nervous Yeah, so I had to get Reina and Eri together quick.... sorry, that's just me being impatient :bleed eyes: Jun is an interesting character, the most interesting in this entire story, I'd say. There's a lot you know about her but also a lot you don't. So the thing with Sayu... we'll see how that turns out XD Yeah, so thanks for the comment! They really do help me see how the story looks to the readers and stuff~ thanks! :twothumbs
@yukirei: oh, "fight for love" happens all the time~ and thank you for worrying about me, that's so sweet of you! :D
@Fushigidane: you just summed it up pretty nicely XD
oh, comments make me so happy~ I'm currently indulging myself in more work while spacing out occasionally about the next TakaGaki chapter~ XD
-

“The truth is, when I first met you… I thought you were a girl,” Reina laughed nervously, biting down on her lips. Eri’s expression tightened but she didn’t say anything. So the kitten continued on, “But from the way you were dressed, you looked like a boy. I just decided that you were a real baby-face and called you, ‘pretty boy’, remember that? You were so cute back then, so innocent and clueless with the money and stuff! You weren’t even my type at all but I guess I was attracted to you even back then. So somehow, I made myself believe that you were a boy. And you were… so I couldn’t be happier right now. Does this all sound weird to you?”
“… Um, just a little…” Eri mumbled. What could she say now? Reina just confessed that she was happy to discover that Eri was a boy! How could she reveal her true gender after that?
Arrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!! DANGER! Eri DANGER! :frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated:
I think we all saw this becoming a problem, I can't believe Reina admitted to Eri that she's glad she's a 'boy' because at first she thought she was a girl :doh: Now Eri is going to keep a lie alive when she should tell the truth :banghead:
Hmm, why do I get the feeling that Jun will try and find out more about Reina's 'boyfriend' she dosn't seem that convinced about Eri and Judging by her character in this fic she will try and find out more, I wont be surprised if she figures out before Reina and goes to confront Eri about it on her own.... :panic:
-
>< They're killing me, hyper cute. TanaKame kiss was awesome *///*
But... Eri, you're making a big mistake, yep BI~~IG mistake.
Something is telling me Jun will find out the true about Eri's gender :smhid .
I mean, she's really smart and she noticed something at aquarium.
Stop torturing us like that :panic: :panic:
Well, anyway I'm waiting TakaGaki chapter :wub:
Peace ~~ :peace:
-
Pfiou...finally I was able to catch up with the chapter :heart:
미안해요 >_<. 나는 종종 회신하지않은 경우 :sweatdrop: (sorry if there are mistake :p I'm still studying korean)
but you do know that I really like/love your story.
chapter 18
:wub: Junjun is so cool and Aika&Linlin so funny in this real 1st meeting with Reina "boyfriend"
the teasing and threatening part are so much their personalities :D
yeah for TanaKame at the aquarium...their so loveydovey lolz XD
Eri(ku) you should tell her your gender soon...
coz I feel that it's a bad idea to let Reina think you are a boy more longer ><
and at the end you wanna be hurt and you'll hurt her more.
But I can't blame you...your totaly in love with her and don't want to break this moment.
Keep your great work SarangAi
I'm waiting patiently your next update

And I'm gonna say....... we'll see :P
-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 19
“No, Sensei, you can’t do that!”
“Oh, come on, Gaki-san, don’t I get some say in this?”
“But you don’t know what you’re doing! I’m telling you this from experience!”
“Please, Gaki-san?”
“No means no, so stop touching me!” Risa took a step away from her teacher who had had her hand on her shoulders. “I’m going to tell you now, Sensei: stainless steel is the best thing for kitchen utensils these days!”
Takahashi-sensei pouted as she muttered something incoherent under her breath. Risa sighed as she just shook her head at the teacher’s immaturity.
“But I want the cute porcelain ones,” Ai complained, pointing at the white pot with pink flowers painted on it, set on the table.
“Fashion isn’t exactly a luxury that can be given while cooking,” Risa sighed, “It’s something provided after cooking. And for a beginner like you, a stainless steel pot is the safest thing.”
“… Fine,” the teacher finally said, dropping her crossed arms. “I guess they are a little cheaper too. And I’m on a budget.”
“Exactly,” the bean smiled. “Now let’s get this checked out and move onto the next store. Did you get everything you need?”
“Well, the stainless steel pot comes with the other utensils that I needed as a set, and I got the other stuff…. So I think I’m set,” Ai said, tapping her finger to her chin.
“Okay, let’s pay before the cashier line gets longer,” Risa said before she dashed to the register.
Ai followed lazily behind and stood next to her student silently as her companion did all the talking. All she did was take out her credit card, swipe, and put it back in. After the items were checked out, Risa grabbed a hold of the large plastic bag and marched out of the store. Ai quickly followed behind and reached for the load, but the bean shook her head and stepped aside.
“It’s okay, Sensei, I’ll carry it,” she said.
“Are you sure, Gaki-san?” the older woman asked worriedly. “You’re doing me a lot of favors today, I feel kind of bad…”
“Don’t feel bad; I’m the one who volunteered,” Risa said firmly. She didn’t really want to hear her teacher refer to herself as “bad” again. Such a simple word from Takahashi-sensei’s lips seemed to make it carry a whole different meaning.
“You really are like a parent, Gaki-san,” Ai laughed. “An annoying nagging mother that teenagers groan about. I think our roles are switched in terms of age right now.”
“It’s because of my mom,” Risa mumbled. “She’s always responsible and stuff so I guess I just kind of picked it up from her. Plus, with Eri as my best friend, someone needs to be the responsible one.”
“Your mother sounds very kind,” the teacher chuckled. “And I know what you mean about Kamei. But I think you’re just overly mature, Gaki-san. Be a kid and live it up for once.”
“Don’t teachers usually tell their students to play after graduating and study while you can?” Risa asked, raising an eyebrow.
“With you, I think I should just say everything opposite of what I usually say to my students,” Takahashi-sensei grinned. “Don’t study too hard Gaki-san; you need to take care of your health first.”
“Thanks for the concern, Takahashi-sensei,” Risa said, smiling a little. “But I study because I like it. So you don’t need to worry about me.”
“No child likes studying, not even you, Gaki-san,” Ai accused, narrowing her eyes. “You’re lying to me.”
“Why would I do that?” Risa said, raising her eyebrows.
“You tell me,” the teacher grinned. “Maybe that’s your secret that I need to dig into. But for now, we better hurry up and get going. I have one more place I need to go to and it looks like it’s going to rain soon.”
The two women swiftly made their way to the nearest grocery shop and got a cart. The teacher made her way through the aisle with her student pushing the cart right behind her because, of course, Risa had insisted. The older woman basically picked off every kind of canned food there was in the racks, starting from instant meatballs and soup to canned fruits and beans. This made Risa smile to herself; the teacher really didn’t know how to cook, did she? But it wasn’t very healthy to live on instant food all the time…
But surprisingly, Takahashi-sensei made her way to the vegetable and fruit section next. She walked around for a while, and picked off a couple greens from the cool racks. The bean raised an eyebrow.
“I thought you didn’t know how to cook, Sensei,” she said.
“I don’t,” Ai admitted. “But eating that bento of yours today made me feel a little embarrassed, to be honest. I feel like I should still try. I look at some books and experiment or something.”
She turned around and flashed a shy smile at the student. Risa blushed quickly and looked away just as fast.
“D-don’t burn down the kitchen or anything…” she muttered, trying to hide the effect of the teacher’s smile on her.
“I won’t,” Ai laughed. She picked off a couple more greens before making her way back to the aisles to look for more ingredients. She picked off a couple things again and continued on to the cash register where Risa closely followed behind.
“What exactly are you trying to make, Sensei?” the bean asked while placing the items on the assembly line.
“I feel up to monjayaki today, I think,” Ai said, turning a little red. “It seems simple enough, so I think I can manage.”
“Ah! Monjayaki daisuki desu!” Risa exclaimed with a big smile. “I’m really good at making it too, but I make it in a special way. I’ll make some for you next time, Sensei.”
“I’d really like that,” Ai laughed, thinking about how innocent her student was in the end, even though she always acts mature.
After checking out all the groceries, the teacher and the student walked out of the store with their hands full of plastic bags. But something stopped them before they even stepped outside.
“How did it start raining so hard already?” Ai remarked, yelling a little to be heard over the heavy pour of rain.
“I didn’t know the weather was going to be this bad…” Risa mumbled. She knew her way around downtown pretty well, but she had never gone grocery shopping here. So she wasn’t exactly sure how to get to the bus stop from her current location.
“I guess we went a little too into town,” Ai sighed. “I’m sorry, Gaki-san. I wonder if you can find your way back… You certainly can’t walk home in this weather; you should take the bus or the subway. Do you know which route?”
“Don’t worry about me, Sensei, I can take care of myself.” Was it route seventeen or seventy? Or maybe it was thirty… Well, I’m in trouble.
“No, I think the weather is just too bad right now,” Ai said, shaking her head. “I can’t send you home like this. My house is a little nearer then yours, so you can stop by for a while.”
Did she just invite me to her home? Risa thought, her eyes widening. Well, she’s a teacher; she worries about her students all the time. I guess it doesn’t really have a special meaning or anything. Not like I want there to be a special meaning. But it’s true that I can’t really get home from here…
“It’s not that far, but the rain is heavy so we’ll have to run,” the teacher said, looking up into the dark sky. “Just run behind me, okay, Gaki-san?”
“Okay,” Risa answered.
“Ready… now!”
Right on cue, the two women ran into the rain and down the street while clutching on to the plastic bags in their hands. After a couple minutes, they entered an apartment complex and ran straight into the first building. Ai pressed the elevator button to go up as Risa breathed heavily beside her. They staggered into the elevator together and finally took a breath, but only after pressing the button for the tenth floor.
“Deep breaths, Gaki-san,” the teacher wheezed.
“You’re not the one to be speaking, Sensei,” Risa huffed back.
“Touché,” the teacher chuckled.
With the clear “ding” or the elevator, the two women reached the front door of the teacher’s home. Ai used a key to open the door and quickly walked in. She dropped the groceries right by the front door after taking off her shoes. She quickly ran into the house and went into a room while Risa started to observe her surroundings. The apartment was pretty small, but big enough for one person. The living room was stretched out to the left while the joint kitchen-dining room was located on the right. Everything was pretty empty except for the basic furniture; there were no pictures or decorations yet.
Then, the teacher emerged from the room she had disappeared into with a towel slung over her arms. She quickly unfolded it and placed it around the bean’s shoulders.
“You can drop the groceries,” she said. “I got a bath running right now, so you can go in when it’s full enough.”
“I’m really okay, Sensei,” Risa said. “I don’t need to take a bath.”
“You will not get sick on me, Gaki-san,” Takahahshi-sensei scolded while grinning. “Besides, you still have school tomorrow. I’ll dry your uniform while you take a bath, okay? And then we can have dinner together.”
“But I’m really—”
“No ‘buts’. You. Bathroom. In. Now.”
With that, the teacher dragged her student across the short hall and pushed her into the first room. Risa stared at the closed door for a while before sighing. If she walked out right now, Sensei was only going to push her right back in. And she was getting kind of cold so a hot batch didn’t sound too bad. And the last sentence about dinner from her teacher had kind of caught her attention.
Reaching a decision, the bean quickly stripped down and left her wet uniform in a pile by the door. She then slowly sunk her body into the hot bath after turning the water off. She sighed contently as stretched her sore muscles. How long was she going to stay here? Probably after the rain stops. But her teacher had already invited her to dinner so she would probably leave after the monjayaki. She was kind of worried about Sensei’s cooking though…
“Gaki-san, I’m coming in.”
“Wait, what?”
Risa covered the front of her body with her arms as her teacher walked right into the bathroom. But her body was immersed in the water so it wasn’t visible anyway. But Risa still felt conscious; she was naked while she and her teacher were in the same room!
“No need to feel shy, Gaki-san,” Ai chuckled. “We’re both girls here.”
“Uh… girls,” Risa nodded. “Um, right. Yeah. Totally.” She’s right, so why am I feeling embarrassed? I’ve seen Kameha naked bunch of times in onsens…
“I just came into get your uniform,” the older woman explained, picking up the pile of wet clothes from the tiled floor. In its place, she put down a set of white wardrobe. “These are my old clothes. You can wear these when you come out. Don’t stay in too long; you’ll get dizzy.”
“Okay,” Risa squeaked, her mouth dangerously close enough to the water to blow bubbles.
Ai smiled before walking out of the bathroom and closing the door behind her. Risa’s tense body finally relaxed again as she sighed.
That teacher is going to be the death of me one day, she thought. She could still feel her face burning. She turned on some cold water and splashed some on her face. It helped a little bit.
The bean stayed in for a couple more minutes before she stepped out of the tub. She dried herself quickly and picked up the white clothing from the floor. It was a pair of light gray sweats with a white button pajama shirt. She put them on and breathed in the scent from the sleeves; it had the same natural scent that her teacher had. She blushed a little.
I’m seriously becoming a pervert, Risa thought, sighing.
She ruffled her short hair with a towel to dry it before a loud noise interrupted her from outside. It was the quick beeping of the fire alarm going off. Risa gasped as she ran out of the bathroom and into the kitchen. Ai was spraying mists of water at the stove, which was fuming with gray smoke now, with a fire extinguisher. The beeping soon stopped and Ai coughed while waving the smoke away.
“Could you please open the window for me, Gaki-san?” she asked.
“What happened, Sensei?” the bean demanded while being obedient to her teacher.
“I, uh… I guess I didn’t control the fire as well as I thought I did?” she said, laughing nervously.
“No offense, Sensei,” Risa started slowly, “but I think it’ll be better if you don’t cook for a while.”
“None taken,” the older woman smiled weakly, “because I agree.”
“Look, how about I make dinner tonight?” Risa suggested. “I’m here anyway, I might as well make myself useful. I can make my special monjayaki.”
“I guess that’s the best way, huh?” Takahashi-sensei grinned. “Do you mind if I watch?”
“Not at all.” Yes, I do mind. I can’t concentrate if you look at me!
With that, Risa went right to work. She took out a large bowl and a spoon; she poured some flour and water into the bowl to start making the batter. She added some chopped vegetables along the way and continued mixing. She could feel her teacher watching her from behind by the table. Not exactly a comfortable position.
“So… Sensei…” the bean said slowly, “um… what happened to my uniform?”
“Oh, it’s in the dryer right now,” the teacher reassured. “You don’t need to worry about anything, Gaki-san.”
“Okay,” Risa mumbled. She felt way too nervous with her teacher watching her like that. What was wrong with herself today? She was usually a composed girl but today, she seemed to fall apart left and right. And all she did was just spend the day with her teacher…
Trying to get rid of the awkward feeling, Risa started to chop some more vegetables furiously. But somewhere along the way, she missed a beat of her knife work, nicking her finger in the process.
“ITAI!” she yelled out, dropping the knife.
“Gaki-san, are you okay?” Ai said in a panic, rushing to the younger girl.
“I- I’m fine, Sensei,” Risa reassured. I knew I was getting too nervous…
“You should be more careful!” the older woman scolded. She looked at the inured finger that was bleeding now from the cut made near the fingertips. “You can’t leave it like that.”
Without warning, Ai brought Risa’s finger to her mouth and licked the wound clean by sucking on it. Risa blushed furiously but her teacher didn’t notice; she was too busy trying to remember where she put the first aid kit. The bean’s face only turned redder and redder as she felt each swish of Ai’s tongue, running across her finger. Eventually, the teacher backed away and dropped the student’s hand.
“I’ll go find some band-aid,” she announced, disappearing into her bedroom. She was back in less than a minute with a band-aid stuck to her hand. She peeled it off and wrapped it around Risa’s injured finger; all the while, the bean stared down at her feet in an attempt to hide her burning face.
“There, that should do it,” Ai sighed contently. “You are not cooking anymore, young lady.”
“Well, who’s going to cook then?” Risa asked, still focusing her stare on the floor.
“I will,” Ai answered. “But you’re going to help me.”
The teacher went to the counter and took a hold of the knife and started to slowly chop away at the vegetables.
“Am I doing it right?” she asked.
“Yeah,” Risa nodded, standing behind her teacher. “But don’t dice it too much.”
So with their slow and tiring yet continuing teamwork, the teacher and the student was able to make the monjayaki dinner together. Risa had instructed Takahashi-sensei with her own recipe of just pouring the juices over the batter on the frying pan instead of making a well. She also told her to add broken pieces of senbe, cheese, and rice cakes..
“Are you sure this is right?” Ai asked, raising an eyebrow. “I didn’t know you make monjayaki this way…”
“Trust me, Sensei,” the bean reassured. “It tastes way better like this. Niigaki style is truly the best!”
“Okay, I’m leaving this up to you, then,” the teacher said, smiling. “I hope the taste will live up to the effort.”
It took a little longer than it had to, what with Risa’s constant orders and Ai’s inability to follow them, but soon enough, the monjayaki dinner was finished. Takahashi-sensei placed the frying pan in the middle of the table and started to scourge for some plates and utensils. Risa just helped herself to a seat, realizing there was nothing more she could do. Ai soon came back with two pairs of chopsticks and two plates.
“Sorry, I didn’t buy spatulas yet,” the teacher apologized.
“It’s okay. With Niigaki monjayaki, it’s way better to eat it with chopsticks,” Risa reassured, grinning.
“Well then, let’s taste this Niigaki monjayaki and see what’s so special about it,” Ai laughed.
With her chopsticks, the older woman helped herself to some of the sizzling monjayaki on the frying pan. She blew on it a couple times before taking the food into her mouth. Risa watched intently as Ai chewed a couple times and swallowed.
“Dou desu ka?” the bean asked in a low voice. “How is it?”
“O…”
“O…?”
“Hon…”
“Ho… un?”
“Hon~tou ni oishii!” Ai exclaimed. “It tastes delicious! I never knew you could make monjayaki like this! Yabai, chou oishii!”
“Maa, Sensei! You scared me there for a second!” Risa whined, letting out a deep sigh of relief.
“Gomen, gomen!” the teacher laughed. “But it does taste amazing. You’re a very talented girl, Gaki-san.”
“Well, you did all the work, Sensei,” Risa mumbled, scratching her head. “All I did was talk.”
“We did a good job, then,” Ai smiled. “Now let’s eat our dinner before it gets cold!”
So the two women dug into the delicious Niigaki-style monjayaki and finished it together in the matter of minutes. By the time they were through with the dishes, it was already nearing nine o’clock.
“It’s getting pretty late, Sensei,” Risa said, looking out the veranda into the dark night. “I think I should get home soon.”
“But it’s still raining pretty hard,” Ai said. “I don’t feel right sending you home in this weather, Gaki-san. It’s not safe.”
“But what other choice do I have?”
“… If you find my apartment accommodating enough, you’re welcome to stay the night,” Ai offered, smiling kindly. “I can call your mother up for you too.”
She can’t be serious, Risa thought, her eyes widening. Oh wait a minute, she really isn’t serious. This doesn’t mean anything to her; it’s just her being worried for me as a teacher. Not like I want it to mean anything so it’s cool that it doesn’t mean anything because she really doesn’t mean anything even though I thought it meant something— Okay, now I’m just confusing myself; hold it together, Risa!
“I don’t think you’re mother would be too angry, would she?” Ai asked, interrupting the little bean’s chain of thoughts. “I’m sure she wouldn’t want you out in this weather at this time either.”
“No, she probably wouldn’t mind…” the student mumbled. “Um, may I use the phone?”
“Sure, help yourself.”
The bean swept past her teacher in the living room and towards the phone on the small table near the sofa. She dialed her home and waited until a familiar voice picked up.
“Moshi-moshi?”
“Mama?”
“Risa, is that you?” the voice on the other line yelled. “Where are you right now? It’s not like you to stay out so late.”
“I’m sorry,” the bean apologized. “I was helping my homeroom teacher with a couple things after school. Then it started raining really hard so I’m at her house right now.”
“Is this the new teacher that you were talking about before?”
“Yeah, that’s her.”
“I thought you didn’t like her?” Risa’s mother said, a smile in her voice.
“She…” Risa lowered her voice into a whisper and covered her mouth with her hands. “She’s not that bad.”
At this point, Ai was already by the bean’s side, grinning. She motioned for the phone and Risa obliged.
“Hello, Mrs. Niigaki?” the teacher spoke eloquently. “I’m Takahashi Ai, Niigaki’s homeroom teacher. Yes, I just moved in so your daughter was helping me find my way around town. I’m very grateful to her. I apologize for worrying you… Yes, your daughter made an excellent dinner for the both of us… Yes, you don’t have to worry about anything, Mrs. Niigaki, I’ll make sure she gets up bright and early for school tomorrow… Yes, thank you, I apologize for all the inconvenience… She’s no problem at all, please don’t worry… Yes, have a good night.”
Ai hung up the phone and turned to face her student, who was staring intently at her face.
“Your mother seems kind,” the older woman commented. “She trusts you a lot.”
“I’m an independent type,” Risa shrugged.
“But you’re not as mature as I thought you are, Gaki-san,” Ai grinned narrowing her eyes. “Your mother says to do whatever I need to do to get you up in the morning, even roll you off the bed, because you ignore whatever alarm that goes off in the house.”
“I’m a heavy sleeper,” the bean muttered.
“Right,” Ai laughed. “Well, I’m guess I’m going to start being the responsible adult here. I’ll go bring out a futon for you; it’s better to sleep in the living room or you’ll be cramped in my bedroom. Meanwhile, I want you to finish whatever homework you have.”
“Do I get an excuse for history homework?” Risa asked hopefully.
“Gaki-san, do I ever give an exception to homework?” Ai smiled innocently. “Remember: it’s a zero if you miss homework, and no make-ups.”
“Sometimes, I think you’re a little too tough, even for me,” Risa muttered.”
“I’m being fair, not tough,” the teacher grinned. “You better get started if you want to go to bed early tonight.”
And so, the two women went on with their own business. Risa found a comfortable position to curl up in on the couch and started to do her homework as fast as she could. Ai went hunting for the futon that was still packed away in a box along with other blankets and pillows. She dragged them out to the living room and spread them out neatly across the floor. Risa looked up and watched her teacher setting up her bed for the night. She thought for a moment before speaking up.
“Sensei?”
“Hm?”
“Do you still think you’re a bad person?”
“… Are we going to start with that talk again?” Ai got on her feet and looked up with a sad smile. “You really are very curious, Gaki-san.”
“I can’t help it,” Risa said, “especially when you’re not even giving me the slightest clue.”
“I guess I can’t blame you,” Ai sighed. “Do I really seem that mysterious?”
“Let’s see; I know nothing about you except your occupation and your age. You call yourself a bad person and I don’t know why. You moved up here all alone without any family. And, you put up an innocent face in front of the entire class yet almost everybody is getting an F.”
“… I am kind of secretive, aren’t I?” the teacher chuckled.
“But you won’t be as soon as you tell me something,” Risa said.
“… When I look at you, Gaki-san,” Ai started, “I somehow feel… happier. When I look at all the students in Haro Kotogakko, it fills me with such joy, I can’t quite describe it. I didn’t know what it was at first, but I think I know now: it’s hope. Whenever I look at you or any other teenagers who still has a bright future cut out for them, it makes me feel incredibly hopeful. But it’s a hard world out there, Gaki-san. That’s why I’m very tough on you and all my students so you can learn that not everything in life is sweet like candy. When things get hard, you need to get stronger.”
“What happened to you?” Risa asked quietly.
“… I made a very big mistake,” the older woman said in a low voice, “and it cost me my most important person at the time. You see… I wasn’t exactly a good student like you, Gaki-san. I didn’t have any other family besides my grandmother, so I often went down the wrong path and hung out with the wrong group of friends. My ignorance eventually caused my grandmother to pass away alone, with no one by her side. I regretted it a lot.”
She stopped for a while and turned her gaze to the floor, as though she was looking back into the past. Risa patiently waited; she knew her teacher wasn’t giving her the full story, but this was good enough. Finally, Ai coughed a couple times before starting again.
“So you see, Gaki-san,” she smiled, “some mistakes are irreversible, and it can weigh down on your shoulders for the rest of your life. I don’t want anybody else to go through that, and I’m sure my grandmother wouldn’t have wanted that either. That’s why I became a teacher.”
“… Believe it or not, Sensei,” Risa slowly started, “but now I think you’re a really good person; not bad at all.”
“Why would you say that?”
“Because, you became a teacher to help others,” Risa smiled warmly. “You devoted the rest of your life so nobody else makes the same mistake as you. You’re a good person, Sensei. I think I gained some new respect for you right now.”
Ai stared at her smiling student in awe; this girl had just heard her confession, yet she still thought she was good. Sure, it wasn’t the whole story, but Risa wasn’t stupid; she must’ve figured to what extent of “bad” Ai had gone to in the past to miss her grandmother’s death. But her eyes still carried no judgment; only compassion and warmth.
“… Thank you, Gaki-san,” Ai smiled. “You really are a kind girl.”
“It has nothing to do with being kind or not,” the bean said, scratching her head. “I’m just saying what’s on my mind.”
“Right,” Ai laughed. Risa always seemed mature, but she really was still just a kid in the end. “Are you finished with your homework?”
“Almost.”
“Alright then, let’s get to bed quickly.”
** ** **
Like her mother had mentioned, Risa was quite the heavy sleeper and almost nothing could wake her up in the morning. The bean herself knew that. That’s why she was shocked to find herself being awoken by a very faint noise from her teacher’s bedroom in the middle of the night.
What is this noise? Risa thought, sitting up from her futon. It sounds like… crying…?
The teenager slowly got to her feet and listened closely. There really was a different sound mixed in with the rain. She quietly tip-toed across the living room and slipped into the bedroom; she didn’t think too much into it before taking action. All that was on her mind was worry for her teacher.
The quiet sobbing was more audible now; Risa could make out a figure curled up in bed sideways. She walked to the edge and kneeled by the bedside. Ai was really crying; tears were trickling down her face towards the bed, dampening the pillow. The bean unconsciously reached out and put her hand on the older woman’s cheek.
“Sensei…?” she whispered.
Suddenly, the young girl’s hand was grabbed by her teacher. Risa gasped, thinking that the sleeping woman had awoken, but she was wrong.
“Obaa-chan…” Ai sobbed. “I’m sorry, please forgive me… I’ll be good now, I promise… I’m so sorry…”
Risa stared at her teacher’s face for a while; her expression was twisted in pain, even though she was still sleeping. Was she having nightmares like this every night?
Sighing, the bean tried to carefully pull her hand out of Ai’s grasp, but the hold only grew tighter.
“Please don’t leave me, Obaa-chan…” the older woman mumbled on, still crying. “It’s my fault, I’m sorry… please don’t leave yet… wait for me…”
“I won’t leave you,” Risa answered unconsciously. So please don’t be in pain anymore...
Before her right mind could convince her otherwise, the bean quietly slipped under the covers with her teacher. Ai was still clutching onto her hand tightly, but Risa didn’t mind. All that mattered was that the sleeping woman would stop having the nightmare so she won’t have to cry anymore. And as soon as Risa put her arm around her, Ai’s voice hitched once and the sobbing stopped, continuing instead in soft breathing.
Please don’t cry anymore, Sensei, Risa thought. I’ll help you carry the burden, so don’t be so hard on yourself. I know you’re a good person.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Long, huh? :lol:

The back and forth competition between Ai and Risa really makes them a great couple but I guess its going past the student and teacher relationship :nervous
-
Yay! I was so happy when I noticed you updated! :mon squee: My dad probably thinks I'm crazy for making weird happy noises.. :mon sweat:
Haha! I love how Ai-chan acted so cute and childish over the pot. :wub:
And like I thought, the rain and the "come to my house" scene would ensue. :glasses:
Love the part when Ai-chan came into the bathroom during Gaki's bath. :mon crazyinlove:
Awww~ When Ai-chan was sucking on Gaki's finger~ :mon lovelaff:
Poor Ai-chan having nightmares about her Obaasan. :(
Well, so far, Gaki had already fallen for her sensei... Ai-chan haven't fallen yet so... :mon misch:

I've been waiting for this, but it was worth it. :twothumbs
“Okay,” Risa mumbled. She felt way too nervous with her teacher watching her like that. What was wrong with herself today? She was usually a composed girl but today, she seemed to fall apart left and right. And all she did was just spend the day with her teacher…

You're so mean! You made me cry. :gmon tears:

cute porcelain pot vs stainless steel pot :lol:
LoL thats was so cute how they fight over something like that :lol: :lol:
The older woman basically picked off every kind of canned food there was in the racks, starting from instant meatballs and soup to canned fruits and beans. This made Risa smile to herself; the teacher really didn’t know how to cook, did she?
Takahashi Ai "THE CANNED FOOD MASTER".... :twothumbs :twothumbs
But surprisingly, Takahashi-sensei made her way to the vegetable and fruit section next. She walked around for a while, and picked off a couple greens from the cool racks.
.
.
.
“I don’t,” Ai admitted. “But eating that bento of yours today made me feel a little embarrassed, to be honest. I feel like I should still try. I look at some books and experiment or something.”
....or not?
“D-don’t burn down the kitchen or anything…” she muttered, trying to hide the effect of the teacher’s smile on her.
oh come on...she is the Takahashi Ai...she will positive burn it down...
“How did it start raining so hard already?” Ai remarked, yelling a little to be heard over the heavy pour of rain.
Because aou are the Ame-Onna :D :D :D
Did she just invite me to her home? Risa thought, her eyes widening. Well, she’s a teacher; she worries about her students all the time. I guess it doesn’t really have a special meaning or anything. Not like I want there to be a special meaning. But it’s true that I can’t really get home from here…
XD XD XD XD
“Deep breaths, Gaki-san,” the teacher wheezed.
“You’re not the one to be speaking, Sensei,” Risa huffed back.
“Touché,” the teacher chuckled.
firls you need more exercise :P
The apartment was pretty small, but big enough for one person. The living room was stretched out to the left while the joint kitchen-dining room was located on the right. Everything was pretty empty except for the basic furniture; there were no pictures or decorations yet.
Simple and Clean
“No ‘buts’. You. Bathroom. In. Now.”
Just like Aichan extrem short sentence XD
“Gaki-san, I’m coming in.”
“Wait, what?”
Risa covered the front of her body with her arms as her teacher walked right into the bathroom. But her body was immersed in the water so it wasn’t visible anyway. But Risa still felt conscious; she was naked while she and her teacher were in the same room!
“No need to feel shy, Gaki-san,” Ai chuckled. “We’re both girls here.”
“Uh… girls,” Risa nodded. “Um, right. Yeah. Totally.” She’s right, so why am I feeling embarrassed? I’ve seen Kameha naked bunch of times in onsens
Easy you like aichan :) :) :)
I’m seriously becoming a pervert, Risa thought, sighing.
:w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
It was the quick beeping of the fire alarm going off. Risa gasped as she ran out of the bathroom and into the kitchen. Ai was spraying mists of water at the stove, which was fuming with gray smoke now, with a fire extinguisher. The beeping soon stopped and Ai coughed while waving the smoke away.
“Could you please open the window for me, Gaki-san?” she asked.
“What happened, Sensei?” the bean demanded while being obedient to her teacher.
“I, uh… I guess I didn’t control the fire as well as I thought I did?” she said, laughing nervously.
just what I expected :smhid
Without warning, Ai brought Risa’s finger to her mouth and licked the wound clean by sucking on it. Risa blushed furiously but her teacher didn’t notice; she was too busy trying to remember where she put the first aid kit. The bean’s face only turned redder and redder as she felt each swish of Ai’s tongue, running across her finger. Eventually, the teacher backed away and dropped the student’s hand.
Innocent hot :shocked
“Is this the new teacher that you were talking about before?”
“Yeah, that’s her.”
“I thought you didn’t like her?” Risa’s mother said, a smile in her voice.
“She…” Risa lowered her voice into a whisper and covered her mouth with her hands. “She’s not that bad.”
At this point, Ai was already by the bean’s side, grinning. She motioned for the phone and Risa obliged.
:lol: :lol: :lol:Just too CUTE :on gay: :on gay:
“But you’re not as mature as I thought you are, Gaki-san,” Ai grinned narrowing her eyes. “Your mother says to do whatever I need to do to get you up in the morning, even roll you off the bed, because you ignore whatever alarm that goes off in the house.”
“I’m a heavy sleeper,” the bean muttered.
found your weak point :on GJ:
“Do I get an excuse for history homework?” Risa asked hopefully.
“Gaki-san, do I ever give an exception to homework?” Ai smiled innocently. “Remember: it’s a zero if you miss homework, and no make-ups.”
“Sometimes, I think you’re a little too tough, even for me,” Risa muttered.”
“I’m being fair, not tough,” the teacher grinned. “You better get started if you want to go to bed early tonight.”
it would be cool if she get the excuse :wahaha:
“… I made a very big mistake,” the older woman said in a low voice, “and it cost me my most important person at the time. You see… I wasn’t exactly a good student like you, Gaki-san.

My ignorance eventually caused my grandmother to pass away alone, with no one by her side. I regretted it a lot.”
just one of her mistakes? :?
Aichan nightmare
It's kind of sad how she miss her grandma and blame herself for what happened :cry:
Gakisan sleeps with aichan (innocent)
si cute from gakichan but what would aichan say if she wake up :glasses:
-
“No means no, so stop touching me!”
Eh?! :O :? :huhuh :drool:
“I’m going to tell you now, Sensei: stainless steel is the best thing for kitchen utensils these days!”
Jeezzzzzzzzzzzzz False alarm :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Takahashi-sensei pouted as she muttered something incoherent under her breath. Risa sighed as she just shook her head at the teacher’s immaturity.
Oh goddess of goddesses :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
“An annoying nagging mother that teenagers groan about.
:lol:
Plus, with Eri as my best friend, someone needs to be the responsible one.
Poor Turtle XD
“Don’t worry about me, Sensei, I can take care of myself.” Was it route seventeen or seventy? Or maybe it was thirty… Well, I’m in trouble.
XD
“No ‘buts’. You. Bathroom. In. Now.”
:whip:
She was kind of worried about Sensei’s cooking though…
XD
“Gaki-san, I’m coming in.”
Holy cow :lol:
I’m seriously becoming a pervert, Risa thought, sighing.
:rofl: I did not expect that XD
Without warning, Ai brought Risa’s finger to her mouth and licked the wound clean by sucking on it.
OMG!!! I knew it!!! :on bleed: :mon blood: :imdead:
with Risa’s constant orders and Ai’s inability to follow them
XD XD XD
“… If you find my apartment accommodating enough, you’re welcome to stay the night,”
Please tell us Ai had only one bed :drool: lol
“She’s not that bad.”
At this point, Ai was already by the bean’s side, grinning.
Lovely :wriggly:
I’ll go bring out a futon for you; it’s better to sleep in the living room or you’ll be cramped in my bedroom
Aww, not cool :pig refuse:
My ignorance eventually caused my grandmother to pass away alone, with no one by her side. I regretted it a lot.”
Oh, so that's her reason
“some mistakes are irreversible, and it can weigh down on your shoulders for the rest of your life.
Very true
What is this noise? Risa thought, sitting up from her futon. It sounds like… crying…?
No :(
“Obaa-chan…” Ai sobbed. “I’m sorry, please forgive me… I’ll be good now, I promise… I’m so sorry…”
Oh gosh :cry:
I’ll help you carry the burden, so don’t be so hard on yourself. I know you’re a good person.
I wonder how... Risa's bringing bento because Ai's not a good cook...
So on to the nightmare... Ai needs a company in her bed to make her feel not alone, so... make Risa her bedmate :grin:

-
Ai followed lazily behind and stood next to her student silently as her companion did all the talking. All she did was take out her credit card, swipe, and put it back in. After the items were checked out, Risa grabbed a hold of the large plastic bag and marched out of the store. Ai quickly followed behind and reached for the load, but the bean shook her head and stepped aside.
Long, huh? :lol:
Somehow I can totally see this happening :lol:
Wow what a chapter of pure TakaGaki fluff :wub: (Not that I'm complaining) I wonder quite what is going through Ai's head, so far we have really only seen the thoughts of Gaki on thier relationship, I wonder how Ai fees about the two of them together, although of course not really knowing what Ai thinks is intresting and adds mystery, she is in some ways definatly flirtatious with Gaki but it it intentional? or is Ai just like that? Plus now we perhaps have a nme of some sorts to put to Ai's mistake in the past Obaa-chan... hmm what does Ai's grandmother(or someone filling that role anyway) have to do with Ai's mistake, of course it might not have anything to do with Ai's past but just a bad memory....
Shige/Jun next :w00t: you sure do now how to make me forgive you for not posting in a while don't you! :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 20
“And now, now, now… What you’ve all been waiting for, or, or…”
“Hey, cut the fake echo, Linlin.”
“Aw, but the echo is what makes the announcement cool!”
“I said cut it.”
“It’s okay, Linlin, I like your special effects.”
“Yay! See, Jun-senpai, Aika says she likes my special effects!”
Linlin jumped up and down and hugged her smiling girlfriend as Junjun just rolled her eyes and laughed at the silliness of her lackeys. Sayumi just raised an eyebrow, taken aback by the bright energy of the younger girls; were they really delinquents?
“Will you just say what you need to say, and not so loudly?” Junjun grinned. “Nobody else in the street cares anyway.”
The four girls were standing in front of Café Buono. Everybody was still in their school uniform, except for Junjun: she had taken the liberty of wearing bagging sweatpants underneath her skirts, and had rolled one side up to her knees. They had gathered together right after school to settle the bet between the panda and the bunny. They were smack in the middle of a bustling town: a perfect location to carry out their battle.
“Oh, fine,” Linlin groaned. “And now, the much anticipated match between Morning Gakuen’s yankii queen Junjun and the new transfer student, Michishige Sayumi!”
“The rules are simple,” Aika said. “This is Operation get-that-number! Whoever gets the cell phone number of a random person in the streets wins the match! If Jun-senpai wins, her wish will be granted by Shige-san for a day. If Shige-san wins, her wish will be granted by Jun-senpai for a lifetime.”
“Are both players ready?” Linlin asked.
“Whenever Usa-chan is,” Junjun grinned, winking at the black-haired girl.
“Whatever,” the bunny muttered. I have to win this if I want to be rid of this annoying person!
“Okay, then!” Linlin said. “Let the game begin!”
“You can go first, Usa-chan,” Junjun offered. “Do whatever you need to do to get someone’s number. But not against their will.”
“I should be saying that to you,” Sayumi shot back coldly.
“Ouch, that hurt,” the tall panda sighed. “But I kind of like it when you’re angry.”
The bunny groaned as she took a couple steps away from the yankii group. She looked around in search of a boy that she could get the number of, preferably a cute one. But the truth was that she was incredibly nervous about this match. People have told her she’s cute and she believed her looks were above average. But she also knew she didn’t have many friends because she didn’t really have a way with words… kind words. Her parents had always told her she needed to be more confident. But how?
Finally, Sayumi spotted two teenage boys, wearing a different school uniform, walking towards the café. She took out her cell phone and clutched it to her chest, trying to gather up as much courage as she could. When they were close enough, she stepped forward to block their way.
“Ano!” she squeaked, looking up at the male students. “Um, excuse me…”
“Um, yes?” the boy glasses said, raising an eyebrow. The other boy whispered into his friend’s ear but Sayumi could still hear: “She’s kind of cute…”
“Ano…” Sayumi started again, looking down now. “Um… would it be possible to… uh… um… ex… um… change phone numbers with me?!” Baka, baka, baka!
“Uh… change phone numbers with you?” the second boy said, making a confused expression.
“YES!” No!
“Uh… we, um… have to go…” the glasses boy said.
Before Sayumi could stop them, the two boys quickly walked around her. The bunny could faintly hear the boy with glasses whisper to his friend: “Doesn’t matter if a girl is a cutie and a freak!”
The black-haired girl’s hands slid down to her sides. It really was impossible for her to talk straight in front of people. All that could come out of her mouth were insults or just plain stupidity that made people think she was crazy. No wonder she couldn’t make any friends.
“Aw, Usa-chan, you failed,” a voice behind her said. A hand rested upon her shoulder. “That’s okay. I think those guys were douchebags anyway.”
“Don’t touch me,” Sayumi growled, whipping around. “Well, it’s your turn now. Go!”
“With pleasure,” the tall panda smirked.
“Go senpai!” Aika cheered.
“Ganbatte!” Linlin chimed in.
Junjun gave a quick wave to her followers and winked at her competitor. She turned around and took a couple steps forward while searching through the crowd for her prey. Finally, she set her eyes on a group of girls wearing blue school uniforms, chatting away. Junjun smirked as she quickly intercepted the four students.
“Excuse me, ladies,” she greeted, smiling, “but I was wondering if you’re from the nearby Tamago Gakuen?”
“Yes, we are,” the girl with long black hair said. “And you are…?”
“Wait a minute, aren’t you…?” one of the girls with short hair said, her eyes widening. “Ayaka, isn’t this the girl you were talking about in school today?”
“Ah, you’re right, Kanon-chan!” the girl with a ponytail exclaimed. “Junjun, the queen of Morning Gakuen!”
“The one girl that not even the teachers can touch!” the other short-haired girl squealed. “Kakkoii! Yuukarin, you know her!”
“Of course I know, Saki-chan, everybody knows,” the first girl who had spoken said. She blushed a little. “So, um, Junjun-san… what business do you have with us?”
“Well, I was just going to say your collar is a little wrinkled,” the panda said, smiling. She reached out and straightened out Yuuka’s collar, causing her friends to gasp and giggle.
“Oh! Um… uh… thank you very much…” the shy girl mumbled.
“No problem,” Junjun said. “I know this is kind of rude, but will you girls please exchange phone numbers with me? I’d love to keep in touch with all of you. I don’t have any friends in Tamago Gakuen yet.”
“W-we’d love to!” the ponytail girl called Ayaka blurted out, half giggling and half shouting. “It’d be an honor!”
And so, the panda easily won over the phone numbers of four girls. They skipped away happily, giggling and gossiping to themselves. Junjun strutted back to her kouhais, who were squealing with joy, and her competitor, who was scowling deeply.
“You never said they didn’t have to be of the opposite gender,” Sayumi growled.
“I never said they had to be of the opposite gender,” Junjun smirked. “I thought we were clear on the rules, Usa-chan.”
Sayumi’s scowl deeper as she looked down at her feet. She then bit down on her lips as she noticed a different emotion taking over her anger: it was sadness. She was sad that she couldn’t win because she was such an antisocial wreck. She was sad that this girl could be so confident while she could never find the right words. She was sad that this person had so many friends and fans alike while she had no one. But it had always been like that… so why did the pain hit now?
“We had a deal, right Usa-chan?” Junjun grinned. “Tomorrow, for the whole entire day, you have to do whatever I tell you to do. That’s my wish.”
“Fine!” Sayumi yelled, whipping her head up to stare straight into her opponent’s eyes. “It’s only for one day! I won’t let you beat me down any more than that!”
With that, the bunny quickly turned and ran away without looking back. Aika and Linlin came up behind Junjun to flank her right and left again.
“Senpai, I think she’s really upset,” Aika said slowly.
“She’ll be fine,” Junjun sighed. “It’s not like I’m going to ask her to die or anything.”
“Well, you already killed her dignity,” Linlin whistled. “But she said she’s not going let you beat her down anymore.”
“Yeah, about that,” the tall panda said, scratching her head, “I don’t know where she got the idea that I was trying to beat her down. The only reason I started this game was so that she would stop avoiding me so much.”
“Scared of not being loved by everybody in the world, Senpai?” Aika giggled.
“Not really,” Junjun chuckled. “It’s just that girl. Even if I’m not popular anymore, I feel like I don’t want that girl to hate me. I want to see her smile.”
“There’s a challenge,” Linlin grinned.
“It’s not even because it’s a challenge, which it is,” Junjun contradicted. “There’s just… something.”
“Love?” Aika guessed.
“No way,” Junjun laughed. “You know I don’t do stuff like that. It definitely can’t be… love…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I totally just threw in S/mileage with Bijin Mama costumes XD
I feel like this SayuJun gave a lot to think about :P
Next is GakiKame chapter! I'm trying to keep my focus on TanaKame but it's hard what with my original fandom for Gakisan and my rising fandom for Junjun :nervous
But I'm trying! Definitely am! :cool1:
:byebye: :sleep:
-
The SayuJun moment was quite an intriguing thing to put in, oh well I guess Jun is straight up in love
-
Wow! Another chapter! :cow:
Aww...I kinda feel bad for Sayu because she doesn't have much confidence and she was taught to do just that. ;)
Jun doesn't even realize that she had fallen in love with Sayu? :shocked
So...I can't wait for the talk between GakiKame. :roll: Hopefully, there would be a flashback on what TakaGaki's morning was like..? :mon misch:
-
Yeah... work always gives away your free time T__T
OMG *o*
I lost 2 chapys T_____T I just read it >_<
The TakaGaki cuteness and sharing BED was so great XD
I can image Ai waking up in the morning with Gaki's arms wrapping around her >//////////<!!!!!!!!!
She will think... OMG WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!??!! O_O!!!!!!! X____X
And the ShigeJun was totally the kick in the dignity for Sayu XD
It was a MUST for our Charming Jun win this one =B
I wonder about that "Sayu will do everything Jun wants" day o_O

“And now, now, now… What you’ve all been waiting for, or, or…”
“Hey, cut the fake echo, Linlin.”
“Aw, but the echo is what makes the announcement cool!”
“I said cut it.”
This made me laugh so hard. Linlin, you're awesome.
“Ano!” she squeaked, looking up at the male students. “Um, excuse me…”
“Um, yes?” the boy glasses said, raising an eyebrow. The other boy whispered into his friend’s ear but Sayumi could still hear: “She’s kind of cute…”

Chapter 21
“And this was also the year that the Shoguns gained power,” Takahashi-sensei lectured, writing the notes on the board. “You can find this information in chapter 7, so make sure to study it. The first Shogun was— Kamei-san, that’s strike one for being late— Minamoto no Yoritomo, who ruled from 1192 to 1199.”
The entire class shifted towards the back as everyone craned their necks to spot Eri, who had attempted to come into the room silently while crouching to hide herself. Couple students snickered as Eri straightened her back and laughed nervously.
“Sumimasen, Sensei,” the turtle apologized.
“Please take your seat and don’t interrupt the class, Kamei-san,” Takahashi-sensei said, still writing on the board.
“How did she even see me without turning around?” Eri mumbled under her breath as she took her seat next to the bean.
“Strike two for talking, Kamei-san,” Takahashi-sensei chirped, causing Eri to clasp her hands over her mouth. The teacher turned around and smiled. “Word of advice: try not to get a third strike.”
“Hai…” Eri mumbled, sinking into her chair. She quickly took out her notebook and pencil as Takahashi-sensei continued on with her lecture. The turtle turned to look at her friend next to her; Risa was trying to mouth something
“Why are you late?” she asked.
Eri looked up at her teacher, who seemed preoccupied with writing notes on the board. But she wasn’t taking any more chances. The turtle ripped out a page of her notebook and started to write down her answer. Then, watching for the right chance, she slipped the paper to the bean.
I was walking Reina to school.
I tried to confess to her again, but I failed T^T
Risa shook her head while rolling her eyes. She folded the paper and quickly wrote down a reply before passing the note back.
Aho Kame.
You have to tell her someday!
Just blurt it out before it gets too late!
Eri made a face at her friend and mouthed silently: “I know that!” She sighed and picked up her pencil to start writing the long lecture on the board. But suddenly, her eyes lit up as she remembered something. Eri quickly wrote down something on the note page before tossing it on Risa’s desk.
By the way, what happened last night?
I called your house but your mom said
you were sleeping over at Takahashi-sensei’s? Is it true?
The bean’s cheeks slowly turned pink as she read the note. She looked up at the teacher who was still concentrating on teaching the course material. Risa chewed on her lips for a while before slowly writing down a reply.
I was helping her shop for kitchen utensils.
It started to rain so we went over to her house.
And then it started to pour so I got stuck there.
Eri narrowed her eyes and smirked as she read her friend’s note. She turned to look at the bean but Risa was now furiously writing down the lecture on the board, trying to keep her mind off of something. The turtle scribbled down a couple words and threw the note back onto her friend’s desk.
Something definitely happened, I can tell!
Give me all the dirty details!
Risa frowned as she felt her face heat up even more. She mouthed to her friend: “Nothing happened!” But Eri only mouthed back: “Uso!” The bean rolled her eyes and thought for a moment. Something certainly had happened: she had slept on the same bed as her teacher. When she had woken up that morning… oh boy.
^^^
Risa opened her eyes to the sunlight seeping through the blinds. Her eyes whirled around for a while, trying to figure out where she was. Then she remembered she had slept over at Takahashi-sensei’s house. And that she was crying so she just slipped into bed with her… What was she thinking?
Sighing, Risa tried to move but found herself completely bound. She raised an eyebrow as she looked down at herself and flipped open the blankets.
Her teacher’s arms were constricting her waist tightly, preventing her from moving. Ai had her face buried in the bean’s chest, which made Risa blush a little. Oh, what an awkward position to be in…
“Um… Sensei?” Risa whispered softly. She cleared her throat and tried again. “Sensei…?”
At that moment, Ai mumbled something incoherent to herself and tightened her hold on her student even more, practically cutting off her blood circulation. Risa gasped, trying to get some oxygen down her throat.
“Sensei!” Risa wheezed, trying to pry her teacher off of her. “Sensei, I can’t… breath! … Sen—WOAH!”
With a loud yell, the bean toppled off the bed and hit her head on the carpeted floor, but freeing herself from the constricting arms in the process. Ai jerked awake and gasped. She looked down from her bed and raised an eyebrow.
“Gaki-san?” she said in a confused tone. “What are you doing down there?”
“… I’m never sleeping over again, Sensei,” Risa grumbled. She was in a pretty awkward position: her legs were still tangled in the blankets but her entire body was wedged in between the bed and the wall causing her neck to bend in a pretty uncomfortable way.
“Wait, were you sleeping in bed with me last night?” Ai asked, still unsure of what was going on. “Did you have a nightmare?”
“I didn’t have a nightmare, you did!” Risa whined, trying to get herself up but failing.
“… Oh. OH. Oh gosh… I’m so sorry about that, Gaki-san,” Ai said, figuring out what must’ve happened. “I guess it’s just the new atmosphere and all… it’s not hard to fall asleep but it’s hard to stay asleep.”
“It’s okay, I understand,” Risa mumbled, remembering the way her teacher had cried during the night.
“But I had a pretty sound sleep this time,” Ai said smiling. “I guess it’s because you were there, Gaki-san. Thank you.”
“No problem… but I’m not doing it again,” Risa groaned. “And, uh… a little help here please?”
Ai laughed as she got off the bed and helped her student pop herself out of the wedge. She smiled again and whispered, “Thank you”. Risa only blushed and looked down.
^^^
The bean sighed as she looked at her turtle friend. Eri was mouthing something furiously while miming a pencil in action. Risa rolled her eyes and started to scribble down on the note.
I took a shower, we had dinner together, and we talked.
Then we went to bed.
She was really nice about letting me stay, I’m grateful.
Eri sighed, frustrated. She mouthed at her friend: “Boring!” Risa bit down on her lips and started to think for a while. Then, she snatched the note from desk and started to write again.
For one thing, I don’t think I hate her anymore.
In fact, I may even like her.
But not like-like. Just like.
Eri smirked as she read the note. She didn’t even wait another second to write down a reply.
Who knows? Maybe you like girls too.
I think you like-like her.
Risa blushed a little as she read this. Eri kept her smile, though she was kind of surprised. She had expected her bean friend to roll her eyes and just scoff at her teasing, but she had taken it seriously! Maybe she really did like the teacher…
Actually, in all honesty… you may be right.
The turtle gasped softly and looked up at her friend, who was furiously taking notes again. Eri grinned to herself and quickly wrote down a reply.
I knew it, you are so in love with Takahashi-sensei.
But hey, who knows? Maybe she like-likes you too.
As the turtle attempted to pass the note to the bean again, someone snatched it from her hands. The two friends looked up at their teacher, who was waving the note page in her hand.
“Passing notes in class, Kamei-san and Niigaki-san?” Takahashi-sensei smiled. “That’s strike one for you, Iinchou, and strike three for you, Kamei-san. Please write a 500 word essay about why disrupting class is not a good idea; have it on my desk by the end of the day.”
“Hai…” the turtle answered weakly, slumping her shoulders.
Risa started to mutter something under her breath; she hated having any imperfection on her record, even if it was just a slight blemish.
The history teacher walked back up to the front of the class room. But instead of throwing away the note that was passed back and forth, she tossed it on her desk and continued on with her lesson. Eri started to have a minor panic attack while Risa’s cheeks blushed a furious red. If Takahashi-sensei read that… what would she do?
They could only pray that the teacher would never see that note.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm thinking that Ai-chan might read it(cuz' next is TakaGaki), but then maybe not since she's such a nice teacher(not in grading) that wouldn't pry into people's businesses. :mon dunno:
That was so funn to read! :mon roll:
I'm so excited about next chapter! :mon trudge:
-
OUCH :lol:
oh well I guess Gaki being in the situation doesn't help her being Ai's pet XD
nice job for three nights in a row
-
3 nights in a row..whoa~ :lol: Nice work as usual.
Reading more chapters of this Fic made this a great Thanksgiving break :twothumbs
The morning scene was funny, Gaki-san couldn't breathe cuz of Ai-chan's death grip on her.
“… I’m never sleeping over again, Sensei,” Risa grumbled.
I highly doubt that XD
Can't wait for the next chapter of TakaGaki goodness :heart:
What if Ai-sensei reads the note, I wonder what her reaction will be.
Why do I have a feeling something bad or good is going to happen. :?
And will Eri finish writing that essay in time?!?! :lol:
-
:on ksweat: OMG OMG I'm not dreaming....Am I?!?!
:onioncheer: yeah 3 chapters in a raw to read...... *GO TO READ*

:kneelbow: thank you for this sweet AiRisa moment
ch20
LOOOOOL @Linlin and her echos effect :wahaha:
“I don’t know where she got the idea that I was trying to beat her down. The only reason I started this game was so that she would stop avoiding me so much.”
“Scared of not being loved by everybody in the world, Senpai?” Aika giggled.
“Not really,” Junjun chuckled. “It’s just that girl. Even if I’m not popular anymore, I feel like I don’t want that girl to hate me. I want to see her smile.”
“There’s a challenge,” Linlin grinned.
“It’s not even because it’s a challenge, which it is,” Junjun contradicted. “There’s just… something.”
“Love?” Aika guessed.
“No way,” Junjun laughed. “You know I don’t do stuff like that. It definitely can’t be… love…”
:on lol: :kekeke:....don't lie to yourself Junjun....this feeling it's call L-O-V-E~ 사랑
ch21
:on GJ: :whistle: nice GakiKame talking....
Lovely TakaGakiness in the morning :wub: :wub: <3 <3
The history teacher walked back up to the front of the class room. But instead of throwing away the note that was passed back and forth, she tossed it on her desk and continued on with her lesson. Eri started to have a minor panic attack while Risa’s cheeks blushed a furious red. If Takahashi-sensei read that… what would she do?
They could only pray that the teacher would never see that note.
I wanna pray that Takahashi-sensei will read this note
:prayers: Ai-sensei read that note :prayers:

3 updates in a row? You're awesome, and I love you (not in a creepy way... :nervous)
Risa opened her eyes to the sunlight seeping through the blinds. Her eyes whirled around for a while, trying to figure out where she was. Then she remembered she had slept over at Takahashi-sensei’s house. And that she was crying so she just slipped into bed with her… What was she thinking?
Sighing, Risa tried to move but found herself completely bound. She raised an eyebrow as she looked down at herself and flipped open the blankets.
Her teacher’s arms were constricting her waist tightly, preventing her from moving. Ai had her face buried in the bean’s chest, which made Risa blush a little. Oh, what an awkward position to be in…
“Um… Sensei?” Risa whispered softly. She cleared her throat and tried again. “Sensei…?”
At that moment, Ai mumbled something incoherent to herself and tightened her hold on her student even more, practically cutting off her blood circulation. Risa gasped, trying to get some oxygen down her throat.
“Sensei!” Risa wheezed, trying to pry her teacher off of her. “Sensei, I can’t… breath! … Sen—WOAH!”
With a loud yell, the bean toppled off the bed and hit her head on the carpeted floor, but freeing herself from the constricting arms in the process. Ai jerked awake and gasped. She looked down from her bed and raised an eyebrow.
“Gaki-san?” she said in a confused tone. “What are you doing down there?”
“… I’m never sleeping over again, Sensei,” Risa grumbled. She was in a pretty awkward position: her legs were still tangled in the blankets but her entire body was wedged in between the bed and the wall causing her neck to bend in a pretty uncomfortable way.
“Wait, were you sleeping in bed with me last night?” Ai asked, still unsure of what was going on. “Did you have a nightmare?”
“I didn’t have a nightmare, you did!” Risa whined, trying to get herself up but failing.
“… Oh. OH. Oh gosh… I’m so sorry about that, Gaki-san,” Ai said, figuring out what must’ve happened. “I guess it’s just the new atmosphere and all… it’s not hard to fall asleep but it’s hard to stay asleep.”
“It’s okay, I understand,” Risa mumbled, remembering the way her teacher had cried during the night.
“But I had a pretty sound sleep this time,” Ai said smiling. “I guess it’s because you were there, Gaki-san. Thank you.”
“No problem… but I’m not doing it again,” Risa groaned. “And, uh… a little help here please?”
Ai laughed as she got off the bed and helped her student pop herself out of the wedge. She smiled again and whispered, “Thank you”. Risa only blushed and looked down.
TakaGaki is love~ :gmon shy:
Who knows? Maybe you like girls too.
I think you like-like her.
Risa blushed a little as she read this. Eri kept her smile, though she was kind of surprised. She had expected her bean friend to roll her eyes and just scoff at her teasing, but she had taken it seriously! Maybe she really did like the teacher…
Actually, in all honesty… you may be right.
The turtle gasped softly and looked up at her friend, who was furiously taking notes again. Eri grinned to herself and quickly wrote down a reply.
I knew it, you are so in love with Takahashi-sensei.
But hey, who knows? Maybe she like-likes you too.
:wriggly:
As the turtle attempted to pass the note to the bean again, someone snatched it from her hands. The two friends looked up at their teacher, who was waving the note page in her hand.
“Passing notes in class, Kamei-san and Niigaki-san?” Takahashi-sensei smiled. “That’s strike one for you, Iinchou, and strike three for you, Kamei-san. Please write a 500 word essay about why disrupting class is not a good idea; have it on my desk by the end of the day.”
“Hai…” the turtle answered weakly, slumping her shoulders.
Risa started to mutter something under her breath; she hated having any imperfection on her record, even if it was just a slight blemish.
The history teacher walked back up to the front of the class room. But instead of throwing away the note that was passed back and forth, she tossed it on her desk and continued on with her lesson. Eri started to have a minor panic attack while Risa’s cheeks blushed a furious red. If Takahashi-sensei read that… what would she do?
They could only pray that the teacher would never see that note.
OH SNAP!
Ai-sensei, please read the note! :mon pray2:
SarangAi, please... :mon cute:
-
is it only me that doesnt want Aichan to read the notes? :lol:
if so, TakaGaki can be more fun..Gakisan doing stuff to make sensei happy..and Aichan doing stuff that make Gakisan blush w/o knowing the bean is in love with her.. :P
if not, i tink their relationship might get awkward if sensei know it so fast..XD
TakaGaki :heart:
-
@fallenxangel: It's the beauty of Thanksgiving break XD and no, if sensei reads it, it'll be a MAJOR panic attack :panic: :D
@kRisZ: ahh~ i can tell you really liked the chapter! i love your quote-by-quote commenting~ thank you! :twothumbs
@gracula: I KNOW right?? :lol:
@kano-chan: lol it's also a good day for me when i get a bunch of comments :inlove:
@kurosawa87: yeah, Gaki is too proud so she probably doesn't want her teacher to know her feelings... :P
@LovelyGaki: this has been a great break for me too! but it's back to school tomorrow.... sorry for being a downer :nervous
@YumePouk: LOL love how you wrote in korean XD And we'll see if your prayer emoticons work... :twisted:
@mmsuki: YAY new reader! :otomerika: :yossi: :cow: thank you so much for the comment, they mean a lot to me! i hope you're enjoying Kokoro no Uta: it's my best out of two XD
@kano-chan (again): i know, right! it's the beauty of this job :P
@Shiawase: will i get the pictures if takahashi-sensei doesn't read the note? :twisted:
@yukirei: good to know that my story is a stress-reliever~ and i totally know what you mean by homework, lectures, and test :nervous
@XcuteX: lol more praying going on :lol:
@alwaysYou: so you like it better slow, huh? it's good to get different opinions like this, thanks! :D
Alas, I have had to scroll to answer the comments. today is a good day :twothumbs
Unfortunately, today is my work day (getting ready for tomorrow's lectures again) so i'm not sure if i'll be able to update again tonight :nervous
But please know that i'm still working on this fic too, and i truly appreciate every single comment on here! thank you~ :bow: :bow: :cow:
-
Woah~On a roll girl! Three chapters in row! :onioncheer:
Chp. 19: TakaGaki moment is totally love. :wub: It seems that their relationship is getting closer and closer
Chp. 20: Poor Sayu~ It was definitely expected that Junjun will win. After all, she's ubber popular~
Chp. 21: Gah~GakiKame passing notes in class FTW.
Ai-sensei must have eyes growing on the back of her head. Let's pray that she'll read the note~ :prayers:
In the meantime, I shall pray that Tanakamei will appear soon~~~ :on speedy:
But the good thing about you not writing Tanakamei so often is that their plot isn't advancing much
Minimum plot advancement=SarangAi not getting over Tanakamei to quickly=more tanakamei to read. XD
-
@LovelyGaki: this has been a great break for me too! but it's back to school tomorrow.... sorry for being a downer :nervous:
Yea total bummer, I have school as well.
But school comes first :)
-
@sapphire: I'm glad you're thinking of TanaKame that way, because that's actually kinda what's going on right now. TanaKame is out there, enjoying every moment they have together; i'm just not writing too many closeups of it :sweatdrop: But don't worry; in a couple more chapters, it'll be TanaKame CENTER :twothumbs
@LovelyGaki: yeah, i guess... ugh i just finished two papers. but i have another due on tuesday :bleed eyes: But I'm going to bed now. let's do our best! :yossi:
-
Chapter 20: Ha ha, ann easy victory for JunJun then :lol: I think Lin's announcing was what gave her the victory! XD I'm kinda getting round to Jun's character a bit more now that I know more about her, I love how she kinda is goin down her own path do get Sayu to like her, maybe because she likes Sayu in return....
Chapter 21: ow can you leave us with the possibility of Ai reading the note! :panic: I really want to know if she did or not, It seems as though it is easier for Gaki to admit her feelings for Ai to Eri then I think it ever will be to tell her sensei.... Like the little snippet od TakaGaki fluff you managed to sneak into this chapter BTW :lol:
-
Phew finally up todate with the story in one reading *pats self on the back*
TakaGaki :heart: A part of me doesn't want Ai to know about Gaki's feeling yet since I wanna see more of their interactions. But at the same time...I wanna see the awkwardness between them :lol:
Groan~ Why must you make TanaKame so cute? :lol: I'm falling in love with this pairing all over again XD Make Reina find out about Eri's gender and make them breakup. It'll be nice to see these two suffer for a while :w00t: Of course they must kiss and makeout after that lol :D
-
*FANGIRLS*.
Umm Takagaki for the win! XD
or something :w00t: :inlove:
Awesome updating btw! :thumbup
-
@oddball: oh yeah, I'm totally lovin Jun too :P and we'll see about sensei and the note... :twisted:
@badsaints: LOL you know I always make the girls suffer at some point~ :lol:
@Fushigidane: always for the win :cow:

REASONS WHY I LOVE YOU
R WRITING :
1. your story is such a breeze to read.. its refreshing, its easy to read.. even the chapters that you said
was long, it didn't feel like it when i was reading it.. if anything i was still looking for more.. :lol:
2. the way you shift around your stories, there are subplots/sub-stories but it doesn't take away from your
main story.. which makes your fiction even more fun to read.. despite the subplots/sub-stories you are still
able to create one cohesive fiction.. :hee:
3. the humor.. its not just the (punch)line/s of the character, its the entire situation that they were in.. and
the way you keep on coming up with new ones (new funny situation) is just amazing.. one of the reasons why
reading your fiction never gets boring,, :D
4. the character development.. your characters actually has 'CHARACTER'.. each one possessing quite a
unique personality.. you were not only able to convey the personalities of the main characters but the others
as well.
combine these all together and VIOLA you have one adorable and fun fiction(oh yes!! pun intended).. :bingo:
-
@Haruka: my specialty :lol:
@mmsuki: this has gotta be the sweetest and one of the best comment i have ever received. The things you listed are the things I try to accomplish. Knowing that I've done it and you like it makes everything feel worth it. Thank you so much, you have no idea how happy i am right now! :cow: :yossi: :otomerika: :onioncheer: :farofflook:
So I'm in the middle of the next chapter~ I don't know if I mentioned this but it's just a bit of TakaGaki. I'm really having a lot of fun with it... :twisted: :twothumbs

Just something real~ short~ :P
Again, I didn't really bother editing so it might be a bit messy :nervous
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 22
Only the sound of the computer keyboard click-clacking in the room resonated. Occasionally, the loud whirring of the printer decreased the awkward silence but as soon as the sound died down, the teacher-student pair was back to square one.
Risa shifted her eyes a little sometimes, catching a glimpse of her teacher typing beside her. She didn’t know why the air felt so heavy in the computer room; she had thought that they were over all the awkwardness now. But maybe it was just the bean who felt that way, since she was very conscious of whether her teacher had read the confession note she had confiscated earlier in the day.
The truth was, that the whole thing was exciting in a way. Risa had never “like-liked” someone before, as Eri had put it. She definitely didn’t want her teacher to find out by reading a note that had been passed back and forth in class. But a strong part of the bean also hoped that her teacher would quickly realize her feelings. She started to think back to that morning: the way her teacher had hugged her so tightly… the way she had laughed… the way her voice sounded… Gaki-san… thank you, Gaki-san…
“Gaki-san.”
“GAH—WOAH!”
Risa jolted out of her flashback and tumbled out of her chair. She fell with her back to the floor while her legs were still on her seat, leaving her in a position very much like the one she was in that morning. Except this time, she was wearing her school uniform so her teacher had a very good view of her pink underwear.
“Gaki-san, are you okay?” Takahashi-sensei asked, jumping out of her seat.
“I’m fine, I’m fine!” Risa reassured, quickly untangling her legs and getting back up to her feet. She pulled her skirt down unconsciously. This is so embarrassing!
“You should wear safety shorts underneath your uniform, Gaki-san,” Ai laughed. “What if it wasn’t me sitting in this chair? What if it was some boy? That would have been dangerous.”
I would’ve preferred it to be a boy; it’s more embarrassing to be in this situation in front of you, the bean thought, blushing. “Yeah, I’ll get some safety shorts or something…”
Before she could do anything more to embarrass herself, Risa quickly sat back down on her chair. She was about to go back to typing, but her teacher started talking again.
“Gaki-san,” Ai said, smiling, “I just wanted to thank you. I takes me a long time to type up these worksheets, I’m glad you’re here to help. But are you sure you want to spend your lunch time this way?”
“I don’t mind helping,” the class representative said, shaking her head. “And if I do this, you’ll get rid of the strike that I have, right?”
“I will, but is it necessary?” the teacher asked, raising an eyebrow. "One strike doesn’t affect your grade in anyway; it’s bad only if you get three strikes.”
“I don’t like having any blemishes on my records,” Risa mumbled. “It makes me uneasy.” Actually, I could care less at this point. I just want to spend some time with you…
“That’s very much like you, Gaki-san,” Ai laughed.
“Why do you have so many things to type up anyway?” the bean questioned. “You only teach our grade… why do you need to make so many worksheets?”
“Because I make different worksheets for every class,” Takahashi-sensei smiled innocently. “I think students should do their own work. It’s the same with tests; no one should ask for questions just because they have my class later in the day.”
“… Sometimes, you really scare me, Sensei,” Risa laughed, feeling a little more relaxed.
“I think you’re more of a perfectionist than me, Gaki-san,” Ai chuckled along.
After that short conversation, the student felt a little calmer. She soon returned to typing as her teacher followed suit. But soon, the bean’s mind was overwhelmed with thoughts about the confiscated note again. Risa clenched her teeth as she braced herself for what she was about to do. She had to be smart about this.
“Um… Sensei?”
“Hm?”
“What did you, uh… do with the note?”
“What note?”
“The note that Kameha and I were passing in class…”
“You’re not getting it back, Gaki-san,” Ai said in a serious tone.
“But you see, I just, uh, wrote some pretty important notes there for a different class,” Risa said quickly. “I’m sorry about passing notes during your class, but can I please have the note back?” Did she read it or didn’t she? I can’t tell!
“Oh, that’s not good then!” Ai panicked, making an apologetic face. “Gaki-san, I already threw away the note. I just thought you girls were gossiping so I didn’t even bother checking the note. I’m so sorry, I can go look for it if you’d like?”
“Oh, it’s fine then!” Risa exclaimed. “It’s okay, I can just recopy the notes from someone else. You, um… definitely threw it away?”
“I’m afraid so,” Ai mumbled. “I’m really sorry, Gaki-san. I should’ve checked what the note was about first—”
“No!” the bean interrupted, smiling nervously. “Ha-ha… it’s really okay, Sensei, really! You don’t need to worry about it, okay?”
“Well, if you say so…”
The teacher still made a very apologetic face and smiled sadly at her student. Risa felt terrible, lying to her teacher like this. But she had no choice; she knew her feelings should be kept a secret. How could a student’s crush on her teacher ever come true? It wasn’t realistic at all.
Suddenly, the school bell ran, indicating the end of the lunch period. Ai got up to pick up the rest of the paper that was on the printer tray. She logged off of her computer as Risa mimicked her actions.
“I’ll straighten up here, Gaki-san, you should get to class,” the teacher said. “Thank you so much for helping out. You saved me a lot of time.”
“It’s no problem at all,” the bean laughed awkwardly. “Um, I’ll see you tomorrow, Sensei… I guess.”
“Yes, I’ll see you tomorrow,” Ai smiled.
The younger girl quickly bowed to her teacher before skittering out of the computer room. Skipping down the hallway, she smiled to herself, relieved that her secret was still undiscovered. If her teacher had read the note by any chance, Risa would’ve had to make her friend into turtle soup that night, so she was glad to be spared from that chore as well.
** ** **
Ai put down the pile of worksheets on her desk. She divided the stack of papers into three separate piles and started to straighten them out. She then slouched down to her chair and leaned back a little, exhausted from all the typing she had done. She looked around at the other teachers who were busily working on their own desk. So Takahashi-sensei opened her desk drawer to take out a pen.
As she withdrew a black pen from inside her desk, something else caught the teacher’s eyes. Ai dropped the pen down on her desk and removed the small piece of paper from the drawer. She unfolded it and read it again for about the tenth time that day, ever since she had confiscated it from her student.
For one thing, I don’t think I hate her anymore.
In fact, I may even like her.
Ai stared at the note with a blank face, revealing no emotion. She ran her fingers gently over the words and sighed softly. She smiled a little, yet her expression still seemed somewhat sad… pained, even.
You can’t turn back time, Ai, she thought to herself. It’s too late for you, and for the poor girl. So what’s my next step…?

SarangAi 사랑헤요 :cow:
-
So she did read the note. She knows about Gaki-san's crush on her, but is unsure about what to do. Is that because she kind of feels the same way or is she just afraid of hurting her friend?
-
So Ai did read the note! :shocked At first when I saw that she had read the note I just though Aiwas being her kind and caring self by not letting Gaki know that she had read the note and new about her crush, but then, reading the last bit of the chapter it seems as though Ai almost wants to ignore the note in a way 'you cant turn back time' ? I wonder what it is that Ai is afraid of, obviously she does not want to get involved with Gaki, yet, looking at the rest of the chapter, it seems as though, try as she might she cant help herself but to get involved with Gaki, I hope Ai dosn'tdo something silly that may break Gaki's heart.....
-
You can’t turn back time, Ai, she thought to herself. It’s too late for you, and for the poor girl. So what’s my next step…?
next step?!.. that should be easy.. show some rabu-rabu.. :cow: you know you want to.. :kekeke: :mon noprob:
~no, no, no.. THANK YOU for sharing your talent and giving us the pleasure of reading and enjoying your works.. :twothumbs

Jajajaja I can't even stand that ^ XD
Is part of the excitement =P
I wonder what's happening inside that little head of hers >o>
mmmmm >o< is so interesting =D
And I'm waiting for the SayuJun too, I wonder about that date mmm
I's going to be magical =D
-
Ooooooh~the suspense is killing me!! :panic:
In a way, I don't think Ai had taken the note in a bad way
In fact, it seems she also has some sort of feelings for Risa
However, something seems really wrong here... :dunno:
I hope things will work out between the two~
Thanks for the update, and please update soon
Oh btw, I'm not sure if you've ever mentioned this before so I'm asking. What is the age gap between Risa and Ai?
Of course, I'm only asking out of curiosity. Don't worry, I won't stop reading the fic just because I can't accept the age or something. :hee:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 23
“Mou, Usa-chan, why couldn’t you get here faster?”
“It’s not my fault, the line was too long!”
“Excuses aren’t good, Usa-chan. Lunch period is almost over—”
“Stop complaining!”
“That’s no way to speak to the winner of our game!”
Junjun gasped sarcastically as she put her hand over her heart. Aika and Linlin snickered behind their leader as Sayumi continued to glare at the three delinquents. The bunny had just fought a mob war near the cafeteria to get the specific type of bento that the older panda had wanted; she was angry and frustrated and stressed, but she had no choice. After all, she had lost the bet with the yankii leader and was required to do whatever she said for the whole day.
“Come over here and sit, Usa-chan,” Junjun grinned, motioning for the new girl to sit across from her.
“Can’t I just give you the bento and go?” Sayumi moaned.
“No, we’re all going to eat together,” the panda said.
The bunny quickly scanned class room; everybody seemed to be going about their own business. But the three yankiis as well as Sayumi all knew they were being watched. After all, the delinquent cool queen of the school was, for some odd reasons, expressing the desire to eat with the socially awkward new girl. It was the most unusual match.
But having no choice in the matter, Sayumi trudged towards her “master-of-the-day” and sat down in front of her. She placed the bento on the desk and opened it. She held out a pair of chopsticks to Junjun but the tall girl shook her head.
“I want you to feed me, Usa-chan,” she grinned.
“You have hands, don’t you?” the bunny coldly replied. “Eat it yourself.”
“Whatever I wish for, remember?” Junjun reminded, smirking.
Sayumi pouted angrily before breaking the wooden chopstick apart and opening the bento box. She went for the first thing in sight, which was a piece of chicken. As soon as she picked it up, Junjun gently took her wrist and navigated the food to her mouth. The panda chewed a couple times before swallowing.
“Oishii,” she smiled. “This is my favorite. Thanks for getting it for me, Usa-chan.”
The black-haired girl said nothing. For some reason, she couldn’t take her eyes of the yankii. There was something about her… the way she looked at her… Sayumi abruptly shook her head and looked away.
“Don’t look at me like that,” she grumbled.
“What way?”
“The way you’re looking at me right now!” Sayumi yelled. “You think that you can just turn on your charm just like that in front of anyone and get any girl you want. Well, I’m not like that. After today, we’ll have nothing to do with each other.”
“… Well, I wasn’t trying to do anything right now,” Junjun chuckled. “But this is kind of interesting; do I really have the ability to just switch my charms on and off like that?” She turned around to her two lackeys. “Do I?”
“It’s a scary talent,” Aika nodded.
“You made a lot of girls cry,” Linlin agreed.
“You had me going for the first five minutes when we met each other,” Aika admitted.
“Yeah, what she said— wait, what?” Linlin abruptly turned to face her girlfriend with a blank face.
“She had me going for five minutes,” Aika giggled. “But you still have me going for three years and much more.” She gave a quick peck on the shorter panda, who then grinned as her cheeks blushed pink.
“Back on topic,” Junjun laughed, turning around to face the bunny once again, “if you’re already conscience of my charms or whatever, Usa-chan, then I’d say resistance is futile at this point.”
“She’s right,” Aika nodded.
“Welcome to Junko-land,” Linlin announced, “where you will wallow in her majesty’s charms and never be able to escape.”
“This is so stupid,” Sayumi muttered under her breath.
So with the bunny’s continuing grumbling and the panda’s constant grinning and teasing, everybody somehow managed to finish their lunch. And, of course, the job of cleaning everything up was left for Sayumi as well.
The black-haired girl walked down the stairs with three empty bento boxes in her arms alone with a plastic bag full of garbage. Since she and the three yankiis were the last to finish their meal, the class duty person had already taken out the garbage. So Sayumi had to return the empty bento box to the cafeteria by herself and take the garbage outside to the dumpsters.
The bunny quickly skittered to the cafeteria, returned the trays, and ran outside to the courtyard. She wanted to quickly finish her chore and go back to class; the last thing she wanted was to be late and be noticeable. Her goal was to blend in. But perhaps it was already too late for that, what with the queen of the school following her around all the time.
Suddenly, a group of girls jumped in the bunny’s way, causing her to stop and stumble back in surprise. The girls were all glaring at her; the one in the middle stepped forward a little and smiled.
“Michishige-san, where are you going in such a hurry?” she asked, obviously acting.
Sayumi stared for a little while then looked away. She decided that she didn’t have time for this so she just clutched onto the garbage bag in her hand and attempted to walk around the band of girls. However, they only side-stepped along with her.
“Hey, where do you think you’re going?” the lead girl said. “Don’t ignore us, new girl.”
“What do you want from me?” Sayumi growled.
“Don’t give us that attitude!” the middle girl yelled. “You’ve really been getting on our nerves these days!”
“Yeah, don’t get cocky just because Junjun is giving you a little bit of attention,” another girl said.
“Just leave me alone,” Sayumi said quietly.
A crowd was starting to gather, and she knew most of them were enemies. They all worshipped Junjun after all; it was just jealousy. Not like there was anything to be jealous about… All she wanted to do was just get out of there. But when she tried to leave again, the group of girls pushed her back and snatched the garbage bag away from her hands.
“Hey, give that back!” the bunny yelled, reaching for it but failing to get it.
“Are you ordering us?” one of the girls said. “Who the hell do you think you are?”
“We’ll teach you a lesson!”
One of the girls quickly ripped open the garbage bag and flipped it backwards over Sayumi’s head. All the leftover food and garbage tumbled out and engulfed the black-haired girl, who stood there covering her head, merely whimpering for no other voice could come out.
“Suits you right!” one of the bully girls laughed. “You think you’re so pretty and superior but all we see is the you right now: garbage!”
“Well, that’s not a very nice thing to say.”
Everybody gathered in the courtyard looked up in alarm at the person who had just spoken from the second floor of the school building. The bully girls gasped as they started to panic. The crowd stirred, not knowing how to react towards this sudden appearance.
Junjun was looking down at the crowd from the second floor, one foot on the windowsill. She wasn’t forcing a glare nor she was frowning; her face was quite expressionless and smooth. But that was the terror of the yankii queen; her ice cold eyes sent chills up the bully girls’ spines. Sayumi had never seen Junjun get so serious. Aika and Linlin had similar looks, but their eyes were a little softer.
Suddenly, the older panda jumped out of the window, swung on the nearby tree branch, and landed in a crouch on the ground. Linlin was about to follow along but Aika shook her head.
“Uh-uh, I’m not jumping,” she mumbled. “I just ate. I’m taking the stairs.”
The two girls disappeared from the window on the second floor and the attention went back to the yankii leader on the ground. All the girls in the courtyard watched in silence as Junjun walked towards Sayumi, who was still standing stiffly with her head down, covered in garbage. She took one look at the still bunny and continued walking towards the bullies.
“J-junjun!” one of the girls said, laughing nervously. “We were just… um… that is…”
Without warning, the yankii’s fist flew straight towards the girl’s face. The middle girl shrieked as she shut her eyes tightly and stiffened. However, the pain did not come. The girl slowly blinked her eyes open again to see Junjun’s fist right in front of her eyes. The panda’s eyes were still cold.
“If I didn’t rethink my actions just now,” she said slowly, “you would be in the hospital, severely injured or dead.”
With that, Junjun whipped around, grabbed Sayumi’s wrist, and dragged her off into the school building. She bumped into Aika and Linlin right by the door.
“Clean up for me, will you?” the leader ordered, still expressionless.
“Yes, ma’am,” Linlin answered.
After the two black haired girls went into the building, Aika skipped into the middle of the still silent courtyard. She smiled at the bullies whose eyes were wide in terror now and made eye contact with the rest of the crowd.
“Listen carefully, minna!” she announced energetically. “Jun-senpai was able to control herself this time around so you’re all lucky. Give yourself a pat on the back!” Then, Aika’s eyes changed to give her smile a different meaning. “But if anybody bothers Shige-san from here on out, they’ll have to answer to Jun-senpai, Linlin… and me.” She giggled and winked at one of the bully girls, who looked like she was about to pass out.
The crowd soon dispersed, murmuring to themselves. Half of them were still frightened by Junjun’s character change. The other half was frightened of Aika’s subtle but dangerous announcement. Everybody knew what Aika was capable of, despite her cute looks. But nobody wanted to experience her talent firsthand.
She’s my girlfriend, Linlin thought, sighing, but she frightens even me sometimes…
** ** **
“Ouch! Let go, Junjun— ow! That hurts!”
Sayumi continued to complain as she got dragged down the hall, into the gym, and into the locker rooms. Junjun hadn’t said a word nor showed a hint of a smile. The truth was that the bunny was scared; so there was a legitimate reason why the panda was considered a delinquent, despite being one of the smartest students in the school.
Junjun quickly pushed the new girl into a shower stall and grabbed the shower head. Before Sayumi could turn around, the panda turned the faucet and sprayed her back with cold water, causing her to shrivel up in a corner.
“Kya! It’s too cold! Junjun!”
“It’ll get warmer, just stay still,” the yankii said quietly.
Finally, she was talking! That made the bunny relax a little; maybe she was going to return to her goofy self now.
As promised, the water soon turned warm enough for Sayumi to face her savior properly. Junjun was still expressionless, but her eyes were softer now. She was trying to calm herself down; she knew the limits she could go to before exploding completely. And now was the time to bring her scale back down.
Junjun continued to water down the bunny, who still had her school uniform on.
“Take your clothes off,” the panda ordered.
“Excuse me?”
“Take it off. You smell terrible; just take a quick shower right now. You can change into your gym uniform after.”
“Um… I don’t have a gym uniform yet… They didn’t have my size so they had to order a new one.”
“Wear mine then. Come on, hurry up! We’re already late for class.”
Before Sayumi could protest more, Junjun shut the shower curtains and went to her locker. Meanwhile, the wet bunny slowly started to take off her uniform. She decided to keep her undergarments on, even though they were soaked as well. She just showered the way she was and quickly dabbed some soap on her body and hair before washing again.
Finally, Sayumi turned off the faucet and covered her nearly bare body, holding her wet uniform in front of her.
“Uh… Junjun?”
“I’m right here,” the voice on the other side of the curtain echoed. “You can use my gym towel. It’s clean; I just washed it yesterday. Hand me your uniform.”
A hand entered the shower stall, holding a large towel with the Morning Gakuen logo printed on it. Sayumi carefully took the towel and placed her uniform into the hand. She quickly dried her body and wrapped the large towel around herself. She slowly opened the curtain, expecting to see the yankii standing there, but there was no one. Instead, on the benches laid out across from the rows of shower stalls, a set of red gym uniform was laid out. The bunny quickly caught on, and helped herself to the clothing. They were a little too big on her but it felt soft and warm. She breathed in the scent on the sleeves; it smelled just like her…
“Stop being a perv, Usa-chan.”
The black-haired girl jumped and looked up to see a grinning panda, walking over with a plastic bag in hand. Her smile was back now; the seriousness was gone.
“I’m not a perv!” Sayumi yelled, blushing.
“If you want to smell me, you can just smell me directly, you know?” Junjun continued to tease, chuckling. “No need to resolve to just my clothes.”
“Ugh! You’re despicable!” Sayumi growled. She had thought that maybe Junjun had a nice side to her; after all, she had saved her from those bullies. But it looked as though they were back to square one.
“Says you,” the taller girl laughed. She held out the plastic bag that she was holding on to. “Here’s your uniform. Take it home, wash it, and dry it.”
“Yeah…” the bunny mumbled. As she took the bag, something else on the panda’s hand caught her eye. “Hey… what’s that?”
Gasping, Sayumi grabbed the yankii’s hand and looked at the palm. Her guess was right; there was a red scratch on Junjun’s hand, drawing blood. There were still bits of grated skin near the edges of the cut.
“You’re bleeding!” Sayumi said, horrified. “How did this happen? Did… did you do this when you swung down from the tree earlier?”
“It’s no big deal, Usa-chan,” Junjun scoffed. “Although it’s kind of interesting to see you care so much about me. This is new.”
“Baka.” Of course I care; you got hurt trying to save me…
“Are you thinking that you’re to blame for this?” the panda said, narrowing her eyes. “Don’t go thinking that; it was my carelessness. You had nothing do with this. But it’s good to know that you care; it means you have some sort of sensible side to you.”
“Are you making fun of me?”
“Don’t I always?” Junjun shrugged, still smiling.
“Wait here,” Sayumi grumbled, rolling her eyes. She walked over to almost empty gym locker and opened it. She took out something, closed the locker, and went to the sink. She took some paper towel, drenched it in water, and came back to face Junjun.
“Hold out your hand,” she ordered.
The panda cocked her head curiously but obeyed the bunny. Sayumi carefully wiped the blood away from Junjun’s palm. Having a clearer look at the scratch, Sayumi fumbled with something in her grasp, and finally managed to stick a band-aid on the taller girl’s hand. Junjun looked down and burst out laughing.
“What’s so funny?” Sayumi glared.
“Th… This… Usa-chan… you… bunny band-aid!” Junjun giggled, unable to stop. “You’re 17 years old and you still use bunny-patterned band-aids?”
“Why not? They’re cute…” Sayumi mumbled, her cheeks blushing bright red. “Stop laughing!”
“Ha-ha-ha! Sorry, I just… Ha-ha! Sorry, Usa-chan,” Junjun laughed, finally managing to sigh and calm down. She grinned and spoke sincerely to the girl in front of her. “Thank you. I really appreciate this.”
“… You’re a terrible person,” the black-haired girl mumbled, keeping her gaze down. “I’m glad this is only a one-day deal where I need to follow your orders.”
“Well, if you want revenge on me…” Junjun said, slowly, “we could do another challenge?”
“… Another?”
“Something simple. Like maybe… janken?”
Sayumi hesitated for a while. On one hand, she didn’t want to lose again. But on the other, she really wanted to slave the panda around like she had done to her… And janken seemed like a pretty fair game; they both had equal chances of winning and losing.
“… Deal,” the bunny answered. “Same conditions as last time, right?”
“Yup,” Junjun grinned. “It’s settled then. We’ll decide on a date later; for now, we should go to class.”
“Oh my gosh, class!” Sayumi yelled out loud. “I completely forgot!”
The bunny quickly ran out of the locker room, dashing as fast as she could towards her classroom. Junjun, on the other hand, followed behind lazily, staring at the bunny band-aid on her palm.
Just like I thought, she smiled, there is a sweeter side to this girl.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
... a bit lacking somehow... I feel like I could've done better but no time... :sweatdrop:
Next up... is the funky chapter where things start happening :lol:
I'll leave this up to your imagination~ :twothumbs
:byebye: :sleep:
-
I love JunSayu in this chap :inlove:
They're so lovely if they become a real couple :wub:
P.S. Aika's frighten look kawaii~ :heart:
-
Somehow, I knew there would be a group of girls stopping Sayu in her tracks. :lol: And then Jun to the rescue, of course! :w00t:
Sayu seemed to have softened up a bit. :heart: She actually cares about Jun and the bunny band-aid was XD
Lacking? I think it's a really great JunSayu chappy! :twothumbs
OooOOoohh!! Next chappy?? Reina going to find out about Eri(ku)'s real gender?! :panic:
-
Jun ordering Sayu to feed her is hilarious, I should have expected it. I'm glad that Aika and Lin were teasing as well, Sayu may grumble, but I'm sure she'll get used to those two quickly.
“You had me going for the first five minutes when we met each other,” Aika admitted.
“Yeah, what she said— wait, what?” Linlin abruptly turned to face her girlfriend with a blank face.
Can imagine the double take here. XD
I guess I should have also expected the fangirls to get jealous and attack, but i didn't. So instead, I wanted to see the puppy and the little panda unleashed on them, I've so been wondering about a certain knife skills that was mentioned earlier.
And of course it ends with a bunny band aid and another competition. I think that might be a reoccurring theme in their relationship. :lol:
-
Poor Sayu had to take Jun's commands and then get trash thrown on her, but Jun really likes her so much to go that far but Sayu seems to be warming up XD
-
:onioncheer: (an update!!)
:on gay: (rushing to read it..)
“But this is kind of interesting; do I really have the ability to just switch my charms on and off like that?” She turned around to her two lackeys. “Do I?”

AHHHHHHH.. Junjun pretending not to be aware of her charms?!.. lol.. there is a reason why you have groupies at your school.. :lol:
and nice save there Aika?!.. :P looks like you picked-up some of Junjun's womanizing charm.. :on GJ:
nice, sweet chapter.. :luvluv2:
although i am fearing for this 'funky' chapter coming-up.. :glasses: hmmmmmmmmm

JunSayu :heart:
I was smiling like an idiot while reading this chapter.
Next up... is the funky chapter where things start happening
I'll leave this up to your imagination~
Can't wait~ :D
-
@Shiawase_Honoo: lol All the little Aika bits there was for you :thumbsup
@kano-chan: we'll see what happens.... :roll:
@rndmnwierd: lol I wanted to put some knives in but storyline-wise, they would be kicked out of school so... XD

Oi! Nandeyanen!!! Σ\(=_=+
By the way, SarangAi 감사합니다 for little bit Aika's part :wub:

bullies schooled! yeah!

:shocked
:rofl:
That is priceless!! :lol:
I like how Sayu's personality kind of matches her real one. :roll:
Just watched the Mujack show and they did a segment on there where they were trying to expose her sweeter side from her normal poison tongue side XD
It was really cute.
anyway, I dunno if it's a good thing or now, but i love how you're keeping each relationship separate. Like one chapter is TakaGaki, the other is TanaKame, and then JunSayu, etc etc. It's like there's 3 different stories, but you can see how they're all connected...i dunno, does that make sense?
lol
I can't wait for the next!!! :)
-
Hooray! Nice chapter! Well done SarangAi, I always love your fics so much.
I'm waiting for the kitty and the turtle.

The bunny quickly scanned class room; everybody seemed to be going about their own business. But the three yankiis as well as Sayumi all knew they were being watched. After all, the delinquent cool queen of the school was, for some odd reasons, expressing the desire to eat with the socially awkward new girl. It was the most unusual match.
Aww, well I think we know why Jun is sitting with her, don't we :wub:
Junjun was looking down at the crowd from the second floor, one foot on the windowsill. She wasn’t forcing a glare nor she was frowning; her face was quite expressionless and smooth. But that was the terror of the yankii queen; her ice cold eyes sent chills up the bully girls’ spines. Sayumi had never seen Junjun get so serious. “Clean up for me, will you?” the leader ordered, still expressionless.
[/qoute]
Seems as though our JunJun may be getting a bit protective towards Sayu aswell
“Baka.” Of course I care; you got hurt trying to save me…
What, surely not, is sayu.... concered for Jun? :shy2:
Just like I thought, she smiled, there is a sweeter side to this girl.
:luvluv1: aww this is all just to sweet, thaks Sarang!
BTW is it just me or is Crazy Giggiling Aika ways more sacary than death-stare Jun? :panic:

@gracula: LOVE :wub: :wub: :heart: :heart: :heart:
@Shiawase_Honoo: LOL c'mon, you gotta love the cute but scary Aika... :twisted:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 24
“No, stop doing that, Gaki-san, I don’t want to…”
“But you promised, Kameha! Stop being a baby and do as I say!”
“Itai! Stop pulling, that hurts!”
“If you just let go and relax, it wouldn’t hurt!”
“I really don’t feel up to it, Risa-chan, please stop…”
“Just get… up… now—GAH!”
A loud thump was heard in the bedroom as the bean fell backwards onto the floor, letting go of her friend’s ankles in the process. Eri took this chance to quickly squirm back up to the head of her bed and buried herself under the blankets again.
The long week of school was finally over and the weekend greeted the two over-worked students. They had promised to go out shopping together on Saturday and invite Reina somewhere along the way to properly introduce her to the bean. But for some reason, the turtle just didn’t want to come out of her shell; she had held on to the head board of the bed until her knuckles turned white while Risa had tried to pull her out by her ankles. When Eri suddenly let go, Risa had been flung out backwards to land on the floor, bottom first. The bean jumped back up to her feet and put her hands on her hips.
“Eri, you’re being a real baby right now!” she growled. “You should keep the promises that you make!”
“I know that, and I’m sorry,” the turtle mumbled. “But you don’t understand; I’m just really exhausted, I need a day to myself.”
“Didn’t you tell Reina to come out today too?” Risa questioned.
“Yeah, but I’m going to cancel,” Eri said, her voice muffled under the blankets. “I just can’t see her today.”
“Oh, come on,” the bean moaned, rolling her eyes. “You’re not really sick, are you?”
“You don’t understand, Risa-chan,” Eri said, poking her head out of the blankets. “I tried to tell her that I’m a girl every single day this week. But every single time I try, she somehow manages to get me off-topic and we go on to about how nicely everything worked out for us. I can’t break her happiness by telling her the truth after that… I just need a day to clear my mind and think things through.”
“If you want my opinion, I think it’s just easier to tell her as soon as you can,” Risa sighed. “You can’t hold out forever.”
“It’s not as easy as you think,” Eri groaned. “Look, I’m just going to stay home today and think of a different way to tell her. Okay?”
“…Okay, it’s your choice,” Risa said finally. “But whether you’re going out or not, I’m still going to go shopping; I actually have a couple things I need to buy.”
“Do what you want,” Eri mumbled, pulling the covers over herself again.
The bean turned to leave the room but stopped, feeling that she had been a little too harsh on her friend lately. She knew how mom-ish she should be and, as a result, a pain in the ass. So she turned around and sighed.
“Look, Kameha, I’m sorry for being rough on you,” Risa said quietly. “I guess I’m just being paranoid about things that aren’t even my business.”
“It’s okay, you just want what’s best for me,” Eri squeaked. She then stuck her head out again and smiled. “You always want what’s best for me.”
“Right,” Risa laughed, broken down by her friend’s cutesy act. “How about I bring you dinner tonight? I think my mom is making Korean food.”
“With kimchi?” the turtle gasped, her eyes sparkling.
“Yup,” Risa grinned. “I’ll bring it up as soon as I get it.”
“Gaki-san, daisuki!” Eri sighed contently.
“Watashi mo Eri ga suki,” Risa laughed softly. She turned around and walked out of the room. Eri could hear her friend moving across the living room and out the front door. There was the click of the keys and then silence. That was the positive side of the bean having her spare key; she didn’t need to get out of bed to lock the door. But of course, the negative side was Risa getting into her house in the first place when she wanted some alone-time.
Eri quickly reached across to her bedside table and grabbed her cell phone. She wanted to make the call before she could forget. She swiftly dialed the number she knew well and held the phone to her ears while lying down on her side. The person on the other line picked up after a couple seconds.
“Moshi-moshi?”
“Reina?”
“Ah, Eri!” the familiar voice said happily. “Ohayou!”
“Ohayou,” Eri answered, smiling. “Listen, you know how I asked you to meet me outside today?”
“Yeah, Café Buono at 10 o’clock, right?”
“Actually, about that, I’m a little sick today so I don’t think I can show up,” the turtle said, trying to make her voice sound hoarse. “I’m sorry, Reina.”
“That’s perfectly fine, I don’t want you overexert yourself,” the kitten said. “Are you feeling okay? Is it serious?”
“I’m okay, I just need to rest in bed a little,” Eri said.
“Are you sure you’ll be okay?” Reina said worriedly. “Maybe I can come over—”
“No, don’t come!” the turtle interrupted. The last thing she wanted was for her girlfriend to come and discover that she wasn’t really sick. “I don’t want you to catch anything from me. I’ll probably feel better tomorrow; we can meet then.”
“Um… okay,” the kitten said reluctantly. “I guess I’ll see you.”
“Yeah. See you.”
Eri hung up her cell phone and placed it back on the table. Then, she sprawled across her bed and stretched every muscle in her body while looking forward to a full day of rest and disturbance-free.
** ** **
“Was that your boyfriend?” Junjun asked, shoving a toast in her mouth.
“Yeah, it was…” Reina mumbled. “Wait a minute, why are you all eating breakfast at my house again?!”
The kitten glared at the three yankiis in her kitchen, helping themselves to a meal. Junjun was sitting by the table, eating eggs and toast. Linlin was making more eggs and bacon while Aika was by the counter, watching the toaster timer click by.
“Because we were sick of getting breakfast at McDonalds,” Junjun answered with her mouth full. She shook her head dreadfully. “It’s so unhealthy.”
“I think we tried everything on the breakfast menu already,” Aika chimed in.
“Never eat McDonalds for two weeks straight,” Linlin groaned. “You can literally feel yourself getting heavier.”
“Well then, don’t eat at McDonalds!” Reina yelled, rolling her eyes. “I can’t believe you guys are already at my house and I’m not even dressed yet…”
It was true; while the three delinquent girls were fully dressed for the day, Reina was still clad in sweats and a sweater over a tank-top. Her hair also hung straight and un-brushed, unlike Junjun’s well combed hair with cornroses on the side.
“You’re in your PJs,” the taller panda shrugged. “It’s nothing we haven’t seen.”
“That’s not the point,” Reina sighed. “The point is—”
“What was the phone call about, Tanaka-senpai?” Aika interrupted as the bread popped out of the toaster.
“Eri said he can’t meet up today, he’s sick,” Reina replied unconsciously. “Hey, wait a minute, why do I need to answer—”
“Is it serious?” Linlin cut in, scooping up the finished eggs and bacon onto a plate. “Maybe you should go visit, senpai.”
“Yeah, he told me not to come but— hey, I don’t need to tell you guys any of this!” Reina yelled, getting more and more frustrated.
“Just tell us what happened,” Junjun grinned.
The ex-yankii looked around at the girls who were once her followers. Reina already knew that these girls possessed the skills to keep her on the topic they wanted; they were smart enough for that. So the kitten just sighed and gave up.
“Eri told me not to come over because he said he didn’t want me to get sick either,” Reina said. “But I’m worried, so I think I should go visit him anyway. Maybe around dinner time.”
“That’s a good idea,” Junjun nodded. “Take some food with you; he’ll be happy about that.”
“Yeah, I think I will,” Reina answered, smiling a little. It seemed as though she really couldn’t go a day without seeing her boyfriend’s face. Maybe she was even addicted. Either way, she didn’t care. If she was addicted, this was the good kind of drug. She was sure of it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm not gonna say anything, I wanna know what you guys think :thumbsup
Okay, sleep! XD
:byebye: :sleep:
-
Eri is trying really hard to say that she is a girl but it has failed, and supposedly there has to be something that gives it away to Reina, but Reina would be sad though...
The gang is cheap? They were eating McDonalds for two weeks straight and then decide to invade Reina's house :lol:
-
Ooooh~ Some foreshadowing there~ :roll:
Of course Reina is going to come over, unexpected, but Gaki would be there too since she'll be bringing dinner. :D There might be a misunderstanding about GakiKame or revelation of Eri(ku)'s gender. :mon dunno: :grin:
And....YOU BETTER TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF! :on thumbb:
-
lets go update.. lets go.. :onioncheer: update.. lets go.. LOL.. :lol:

SarangAi you always get me all confuse. :banghead:
PS: I really hope You get better soon :thumbsup, I understand the problem about sleeping disorder,
I have a little about that and I feel tired all day long.
Peace ~~ :peace:
-
I've been waiting for this!
“Yeah, I think I will,” Reina answered, smiling a little. It seemed as though she really couldn’t go a day without seeing her boyfriend’s face. Maybe she was even addicted. Either way, she didn’t care. If she was addicted, this was the good kind of drug. She was sure of it.
Wow! Reina IS in love with Eri :mon lovelaff:
SarangAi, get well soon :)
-
Wow!!!! This chap show how much Reina loves Eri!!! Great!! :thumbsup
Nicely chappy :wub:
P.S. I'll pray for you to get well soon :)
-
WAAAH! :shocked: :grin: So now Reina's gonna bust Eri being a girl, not being sick and possibly with Risa?? XD oh no lol exciting XD
-
Take better care of yourself, you! *shakes finger* Don't make us worry!
“Just get… up… now—GAH!”
A loud thump was heard in the bedroom as the bean fell backwards onto the floor, letting go of her friend’s ankles in the process.
Lolololohmigod. :lol:
They had promised to go out shopping together on Saturday and invite Reina somewhere along the way to properly introduce her to the bean.
Well, I guess by dinner time they're gonna have that introduction, huh? I can only pray for the poor turtle's safety if the gang comes over too. :lol:
“Right,” Risa laughed, broken down by her friend’s cutesy act. “How about I bring you dinner tonight? I think my mom is making Korean food.”
No one can resist the smile!
“What was the phone call about, Tanaka-senpai?” Aika interrupted as the bread popped out of the toaster.
“Eri said he can’t meet up today, he’s sick,” Reina replied unconsciously. “Hey, wait a minute, why do I need to answer—”
“Is it serious?” Linlin cut in, scooping up the finished eggs and bacon onto a plate. “Maybe you should go visit, senpai.”
“Yeah, he told me not to come but— hey, I don’t need to tell you guys any of this!” Reina yelled, getting more and more frustrated.
“Just tell us what happened,” Junjun grinned.
Think we found something Reina can't resist, either. :lol: :lol:
“But I’m worried, so I think I should go visit him anyway. Maybe around dinner time.”
When I read this, I literally said, "Oh my god." XD I can't wait for the next chapter now, I'm envisioning all sorts of possibilities. I think my favored one ends with Gaki getting walloped in the jaw and Takahashi-sensei noticing and caring for the injury. Maybe with a kiss to make it feel better. :inlove:
-
@kurosawa87: lol well, they are a group of delinquents; they're on a budget XD
@kano-chan: I know, I know... i definitely overworked myself this time :nervous
@mmsuki: lol sorry for the short chapter! But it's better than nothing, right? :P
@Michi.Pinku: i love leaving questions for my readers :twisted:
@XcuteX: oh so in love :wub:
@Shiawase-Honoo: glad you liked it~ and thank you :D
@Fushigidane: possibly... who knows? :twisted:
@rndmnwierd: LOL so many possibilities... and YES no one can resist the smile :inlove:
oooohh lots of comments! Lots of guesses, lots of predictions... SarangAi likes~ :lol:
I'm still not going to say anything about the next chapter~ I want fresh reactions when i post it, hopefully soon since holidays are coming up :twothumbs
-
“But I’m worried, so I think I should go visit him anyway. Maybe around dinner time.”
oooo something tells me this is goin to be an interesting dinner :glasses:
-
I predict that Reina might go over at the wrong time
Maybe Eri was in the middle of a shower or changing or something
So, Reina found out this way...
..or maybe it's not time for her to find out yet. :lol:
I still haven't brought myself to watching the graduation yet. I think I won't be able to take it. :cry:
-
Poor Eri, still trying to think of a way to tell Reina (though I think perhaps she is not trying as hard as she could?) I wonder if part of the reason for her not wanting to see Reina is becasue she is worried Gaki may say something?...
Seeing as Reina was the old leader of the gang she seems to have very little control over Jun/Aika/Lin and they seem to be able to get most of the info they want out of Reina :lol: It's a nice testement to the fact they were and are a group of friends more than a gang od delinquents, though I still think Jun thinks that there is more to Eri than meets the eye.....
-
hooray! new chapter, but it is not satisfied enough. I've finished my final exam but must go to school tomorrow from 6am to 5pm and extra class from 5:30pm to 9pm; I want more, oh! my lovely kitten, Reina, Reina, Reina~ :inlove:
-
yeah....to lazy to write comment XD
anyway nice chapter
hope there would be a misunderstanding between eri and reina
like risa is the one who going open the door (only with a tanktop and shortpants) or eri with girl clothes or something worse
-
@LovelyGaki: maybe~ XD
@sapphire: omg it was sad... it was sad... :cry:
@oddball: yeah, Reina makes herself out to be a good girl now living a quiet life but in truth, JunAikaLin are the only friends she has so she doesn't mind too much :P
@yukirei: lol yeah i've been kind of unsatisfactory lately... gomen :nervous
@fallenxangel: lol we'll see... now :D
sorry for the strong delay! What with the holiday season/shopping/family time, I really didn't get too much time to write :nervous
I guess you can take this a Christmas present? Happy holidays, everyone ~ :onioncheer: :mon love: :mon santa2: :mon santa3: :mon santa4:
*LOL Chapter 25 on the 25th* :lol: XD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 25
“You are seriously my one and only best friend, Gaki-san!” Eri squealed, clapping her hands together in front of her while jumping up and down.
The turtle’s eyes were set on the containers of Korean food that the bean had brought up from her home. There was a variety of side dishes along with rice, including some seaweed soup, beans, oden, noodles, eggs, and more. Risa had often brought up Korean food for the turtle before but not this much at a time.
“Way to accept my food as payment for friendship, Kameha,” the bean grinned. “You seemed a little down so I guess I cooked a lot more this time around. Are you feeling any better?”
“Yeah, a little bit,” Eri sighed. “I still feel kind of tired but I don’t think I’m really sick.”
“Do you have a fever?” Risa asked. She stepped towards her friend and placed her hand on her forehead, comparing it with her own. “Nope, no temperature. But Kameha, you smell really bad right now.” She backed away, wrinkling her nose.
“It’s because I stayed in bed the whole day,” Eri explained, yawning. “I probably broke a sweat.”
“Well then, you should change before you really catch a cold,” Risa said, shooing her friend towards the bedroom. She turned around and started to set the table but then gasped. “Oh, I left the kimchi on the counter! I’m going to round down and get it, okay? You go change during that time.”
“Okay,” Eri answered, waving as she closed the door behind her.
Risa skittered to the front door, put her shoes on, and walked out. She stopped short as soon as she crossed the threshold, wondering if she should call Eri back to lock the door. But she was probably going to be back before Eri could finish changing, being the turtle she is, so Risa just decided to leave the door unlocked and walked down the stairs.
** ** **
Reina nervously checked her watch, looked at her feet, and then up at the elevator again. She kept on bobbing up and down in place with her hands clenched together. What could be taking the elevator so long to get to the first floor from the tenth? It felt as though it had been years since the ex-yankii last pressed the button… although it had only been five seconds.
Relax, Reina, the kitten told herself. Take deep breaths… Act like a lady… Keep your cool, girl... the elevator will be here in the next ten seconds, I’m sure of it.
Reina looked up once more at the elevator count down; the number was at 7th floor now. Surely, ten seconds was enough.
Okay, here I go, Reina thought. Ichi… Ni… San…… Shiiiiiii…… “Damn it, why is it taking so long?!”
Finally breaking down, Reina yelled out loud and kicked the elevator door, barely leaving a dent. She then gasped and started to pace around, holding her hands to her chest.
“Calm down, Reina, calm down,” she mumbled under her breath. “You don’t want to crack here. You want to show Eri a happy face so don’t crack here… have some patience…”
Reina had always hated waiting but considering she was about to see her sick boyfriend just a couple floors up, she was feeling more restless than ever. They had been together every single day this week yet it seemed as though she couldn’t pass a day without seeing the turtle.
Before she could get more frustrated and break the elevator door, Reina just decided to climb up the stairs. Eri didn’t live that high up anyway; it wouldn’t be too tiring of a trip.
The kitten quickly leaped over the steps, feeling bouncier with each floor. She finally reached the fifth floor to see a pretty girl with short brown hair coming down the steps. She looked about the same age as her. The two girls met eyes; the short-haired girl gave a small smile as Reina gave a polite nod. The girl that had come down disappeared into apartment 502 as Reina continued to climb the stairs.
I didn’t know a teenage girl lived below Eri’s home, the kitten thought to herself. I wonder if she goes to the same school as him…
As she thought this, the ex-yankii reached the sixth floor in no time and stood in front of 601. She stared at the number plate before swallowing hard and knocking. There was no answer.
Maybe he’s too sick to come out, Reina thought. “Eri? Are you home? It’s me, Reina!”
Still, only the silence greeted the petit girl. Feeling a little worried, Reina tried the door handle as she started to think about using the bobby pin in her pocket to pick the lock. But before she even attempted to, the door opened easily for it was unlocked.
That Eri forgot to lock the door, she thought, smiling. That’s so like him.
Although the kitten didn’t want to intrude into someone else’s apartment, much less a boy’s, she only stepped in a little bit before calling in softly.
“Shitsureshimasu,” she said. “Eri?”
“In here!” a familiar voice answered.
Reina took off her shoes and entered the clean apartment. She slowly made her way towards the kitchen and then her eyes went to the bedroom.
“Eri?” she called again, feeling unsure.
“You came back really fast, Risa-chan. That was quick!” the voice remarked from the room.
Who’s Risa-chan? Reina thought, raising her eyebrows. “Um, I’m coming in, Eri.” She reached for the door handle, turned, and pushed in.
“Wait, don’t come in, I’m still changing—”
Eri turned to look at her intruder and gasped, slowly processing the short girl by the door with her straight hair reaching her chest. Reina’s eyes widened as she scanned her lover. The turtle was wearing a pair of sweatpants but her t-shirt was still around her neck, revealing her bare upper body clad in a black bra. Her white skin, her slim waist, her two breasts… everything was visible.
“Re… Reina?” Eri croaked, her voice choking in her throat.
The kitten didn’t answer. She couldn’t take her eyes off of her “boyfriend’s” body that was so much like a girl’s… better a normal girl’s, maybe even better than hers. Her mind processed everything slowly and painfully as she started to form words.
All Eri could do was watch her girlfriend’s facial expressions wrinkle into something horrible. The voices in her head screamed at her to put on her t-shirt but she was frozen and could not move. She could feel the intruder’s stare prickling her like a thousand needles.
“Reina…?”
“Eri, you…” Reina breathed, trying to form coherent words, “you’re… a g-girl…?”
“Reina, I can explain—”
“You’ve been a girl all along and I never knew?!” Reina shrieked, finally breaking down. Her expression wasn’t that of anger nor sadness; it was pain and regret. “You… from the beginning… I thought… but you’re…”
“Reina, please, I—”
“Stop!” she screamed. Her hands clutched her head as she shut her eyes tightly. “This can’t be real… This isn’t… This can’t… be…”
Reina looked up to meet Eri’s horrified eyes one more time before running out of the room. The turtle suddenly felt all her muscles breaking loose so she quickly put on the t-shirt and ran out of the bed room. She caught her girlfriend’s wrist and spun her around before she reached the door.
“Reina, please listen to me—”
“DON’T TOUCH ME!” the shorter girl screamed, snatching her wrist out of Eri’s hand. She glared up at her “boyfriend” with contempt and no sympathy. “Don’t you dare touch me again!”
“Reina, please listen!” Eri pleaded, her heart aching. “I can explain everything if you just—”
“You don’t need to explain anything, I saw everything with my own eyes!” Reina screamed again.
Her eyes suddenly softened from burning anger to complete sadness. A single stream of tear was blinked out of her eye and traveled down her cheeks. Her mouth opened to say something but only gasps of breath came out. Watching Reina cry only made Eri feel as though her heart was being ripped out.
“You…” Reina whispered roughly, her voice cracking. “I trusted you. But you… lied to me.”
The word hit Eri’s chest like a sharp knife that was ran through fire beforehand. Reina bit on her lips to keep herself from crying more but it was no use. So instead, she glared up at the turtle again with hatred and fury.
“I never want to see you, ever again,” she said through her teeth.
With that, Reina dashed out of the apartment and ran down the stairs. Eri was frozen in her spot as she sank down to the ground. She couldn’t bear to chase after the girl she loved anymore. Only her last words echoed in Eri’s head.
** ** **
Risa walked out of her apartment and closed the door. She was holding a container of kimchi in her hands now. She smiled as she thought of how happy her turtle friend would be, grinning that goofy grin… She could be so pure sometimes, that Eri, being happy at the smallest things.
The bean started to head up the stairs but someone turned the corner and bumped into her. Risa clutched onto the kimchi container, making sure not to drop it. Luckily, nobody fell but only faltered in their steps.
“Ah, sumimasen—” the bean started to say, before she cut off her own words.
The person she bumped into was the girl that she had seen before, walking up the stairs. But this time, there was a clear trail of tears on her cheeks. Without a word, the petit girl continued to run down the stairs.
What’s up with her? Risa thought, cocking her head. She seemed perfectly fine before… Does she even live in this building? Suddenly, the bean’s eyes widened as a different thought came to her. Wait a minute… long dyed hair, petit figure, cat-like eyes… could it be…?
Risa sprinted up the stairs to the sixth floor, trying to get to her friend’s home as fast as possible.
If that really was the Reina girl… she thought, I have a bad feeling about this…
Eri’s door was still unlocked. Risa burst into the apartment and spotted her friend kneeling about five feet in front of her. Her face was buried in her hands.
“Eri!” the bean yelled. She quickly put the kimchi down and dashed to her friend’s side. “What happened? Why are you crying? Oi, tell me what’s wrong!”
“It’s over…” Eri said hoarsely, looking up to reveal her face soaked in tears. “Risa-chan, she knows… Reina knows now… and I lost her…”
I hate it when my gut feeling is right, the bean thought, biting her lips. “It’s okay, Eri, it’s okay, calm down.”
“What do I do now, Risa?” the turtle cried, hiccupping. “I… I love her… so much… but she hates me now! What do I do?”
Realizing her words weren’t going to help, the bean instead took her friend into a hug. Eri cried into her shoulders, letting her tears drop uncontrollably. Risa could only sigh and stroke the turtle’s back, murmuring random phrases in false effort of comforting her.
I should’ve pushed her harder… I should’ve helped her more… she thought, feeling her chest tighten. What can I do for Eri now? What can anybody do…?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That was a sad present. Sorry if I broke your holiday spirit... :kneelbow: :err:

Reina found out the hard way and now I guess Eri has to figure out what to do, but I do wonder if Risa going to face up with her but Reina must be heartbroken for realizing Eri was female and maybe she'll see something that will make her come back maybe?
-

I should’ve pushed her harder… I should’ve helped her more… she thought, feeling her chest tighten. What can I do for Eri now? What can anybody do…?
And of course, leave it to Risa to blame herself.

Ch.24
I love that Reina has friends who can barge into her home at anytime. Makes me wonder how they get in time after time. Delinquents.
And the last line? Dum dum dummm. Foreshadowing at it's best!
Ch.25
Of course, you would feel the need to do the big reveal and the resulting aftermath on the most wonderful time of the year. :lol:
Un-coolly excited Reina is adorable, I bet no one else gets to see that. The anticipation builds.
The big reveal, and what happens? Reina absently notes in her shock that Eri's body may be better than hers. XD
While you may have managed to upset everyone, all I'm fixated on is Eri in a black bra.
Good update. Reparations better come soon.

YOU'RE SO EVIL D:
but being honest, I wanted to read this part so bad XD XD. ( Yup I'm masochistic)
Poor Reina, Poor Eri, Poor me :cry:
Please, give our holidays spirits back :gyaaah:
btw HAPPY CHRISTMAS
Peace ~~ :peace:
-
oh god thats a bad way to find out >3> i wonder if risa will tell ai-chan sensei about this?
-
Oh~you didn't break my holiday spirit; I'm just happy that you posted :lol:
Yosh~I knew this was going to happen
Though, it is sad that Reina has to find out this way
Mah~looking at the bright side, at least the story is progressing :nervous
Please update soon~
-
At least Reina got to see for it herself and got to learn the truth the hard way. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Junjun & Co don't pay Eri a visit and make things even miserable for her. Or perhaps, Reina will turn up in time and rescue Eri, making her realise she still cares for Eri. Hmm.
(Getting a little concerned for Eri....considering what we have seen of Junjun's gang so far ^^; )
This TanaKame mess better be sorted soon!! Or I won't be able to enjoy the TakaGaki relationship.....though that one seems to be heading towards a less than cheerful route for now, too.
-
A the classic, lover walks in on you and gets upset at what you have done and leaves before you can explain angle, nice.... :panic:
perhpas this wasn't as disaterous as it may seems at first, I mean at least Reina now knowssomething that Eri did not seem imminetly about to do in my opinon, at least noe Eri can see if she can win Reina round as a girl, this time with no lies...
-
@YumePouk: lol thank you~ you did some major catching up there XD
@Michi.Pinku: lol it was the highlight :lol:
@kawaii beam: okay, you're just plain scaring me now XD
@sapphire: lol good, look at the bright side :D
@aussie: oh yeah, Jun's gang... *shiver* :shocked we'll see about Takagaki :twisted:
@oddball: yup, that's my lack of creativity :nervous XD
Moving on~ I got family coming tomorrow XD

Chapter 26
Risa let out a deep sigh as she leaned back against the tree. Her lunchbox was lying right next to her on the grass, but she didn’t open it. She hated eating alone, and she wasn’t feeling that hungry anyway. All she could think about was one person: Eri.
How could this have happened? What were the chances that the Reina girl was going to come up to the turtle’s apartment in the exact moment while the bean was gone? If Risa had been there, could it have made a difference? Maybe she could’ve somehow stalled Reina long enough to give the turtle time to change into some boy clothes. Everything would have been okay then: Eri wouldn’t have cried, Reina wouldn’t have run away, and Risa wouldn’t be feeling guilty. And at this moment, Eri wouldn’t be in the nurse’s office taking a nap and resting. She had been spacing out for the whole day in school, so the bean had managed to convince her to go to the nurse to rest. The turtle had nodded with a blank face, causing Risa to wonder whether her friend had actually heard her or not.
So what could she do now? She wanted to make amends somehow and help her turtle friend who was in absolute denial. The girl wasn’t putting her cell phone down for even a second; she kept on texting away, probably begging Reina to give her a chance to explain. But what was there to explain? This wasn’t even a misunderstanding that could be cleared up; everything Reina saw was the truth and the whole truth. Eri was a girl and she had been hiding it all along. She had lied to her girlfriend, and that hurt both of the in the end.
Could Risa go and talk to Reina? The girl wasn’t going to listen to her “boyfriend” anymore but she didn’t have anything against the bean. Heck, she probably doesn’t even know who the bean is. So maybe Risa could explain the situation to her and help to solve the problem… But what could she even say? If Eri can’t come up with a excuse, Risa probably couldn’t either. The bean groaned, frustrated that she couldn’t do anything anymore; no one could.
Suddenly, something cold touched Risa’s cheeks; the bean gasped and whipped around to see her history teacher standing next to her. She was looking down at her with a smile, holding a can of soda out.
“For you,” she said, offering the drink. “Go on, take it.”
“Sensei!” Risa yelled, feeling her cheeks heat up a little. “Um, what are you doing here?”
“Well, I was looking for Kamei-san but I saw you sitting here wasting your lunch period away,” Ai grinned. “I guessed you weren’t hungry so I decided to get you a drink instead. Are you going to take it or not?”
“Arigatou gozaimasu,” the bean answered quietly, accepting the soda with both hands. She stared at the label of it, not daring to look up. She was afraid that her face might be too red; after all, she had accepted recently that she indeed has a crush on her teacher.
“May I sit?” Takahashi-sensei asked.
Risa nodded silently. Ai sank down to the grass, sitting close to her student. She smoothed her skirt a little and looked up with a small smile.
“So, what’s your dilemma today?” she questioned.
“I don’t have a dilemma,” Risa denied.
“Oh, come on, Gaki-san,” the teacher said, rolling her eyes. “I know there’s something on your mind; you looked like you were in deep thought before. Is it about Kamei-san?”
“… Okay, fine,” the bean sighed. “Yeah, it’s about Kameha. I’m kind of worried about her.”
“Why don’t you tell me what happened?” Ai suggested. “I was going to ask Kamei-san about it myself but you can tell me too. She seemed very unfocused in class today; I was going to call her out but the situation seemed a little more serious this time.”
“Yeah, it is,” Risa said, smiling sadly. She looked up to face her teacher with sincere eyes. “Thanks for keeping quiet, Sensei.”
“You’re very welcome,” Ai said, smiling warmly. “Tell me, now, what happened?”
“Well… it’s not my story to tell,” Risa hesitated, biting her bottom lip. “But basically, Eri got into a fight with… um… a friend… You see, she unintentionally kind of told a lie… and that friend found out and got really mad. So Eri is really upset now.”
“And you’re concerned,” Ai said softly.
“It’s not just that,” the bean said, shaking her head. “Yeah, I’m worried about Kameha. But it’s just that… it’s a little complicated to explain but basically, I could’ve prevented it from happening. See, I was there… I could’ve stopped the whole revelation from happening but I couldn’t. And now, both Eri and the friend is hurt.”
“… You’re a good person, Gaki-san,” the older woman said quietly.
“Again with the good person-bad person thing?” Risa yelled, feeling a little angry at how simplistic her teacher was being. “Enough with that analogy of yours, Sensei! I keep on telling you I’m not a perfectly good person and you’re not a bad person either! So just stop with all that!”
“I’m not saying ‘good’ in that way, Gaki-san,” Ai chuckled, amused by how her class representative was losing her cool. “I’m saying that you’re a very good friend, very pure and warm-hearted.”
“No I’m not,” Risa muttered under her breath, crossing her arms like a stubborn child.
“You’re feeling guilty right now because you feel like you could’ve helped Kamei-san, but you didn’t,” Ai explained, her smile unchanged. “You see, I think that kind of guilt can be seen as a good characteristic, in a way. You’re feeling that weight on your shoulders right now because that’s how much you care about Kamei-san. You want her to be happy so you feel regretful about not being able to protect her. That’s why I’m saying you’re a good person, Gaki-san.”
“I’d be an even better person if I could somehow fix this,” Risa mumbled sadly.
“In the end, this is still Kamei-san’s problem,” the teacher continued. “She needs to be able to work things out with her friend herself. All you need to do during that time is to stand by her and be there for her whenever she needs a shoulder to lean on, like a friend should.”
“… I guess you’re right,” the bean sighed, looking up at her teacher with apologetic eyes. “Sorry for getting mad at you, Sensei.”
“You don’t need to apologize, I should’ve worded it better,” Ai smiled. “I think… I’m starting to believe there are more than just good and bad people out there. Your words are actually kind of taking toll on me.”
“I’m glad,” the bean grinned. “And don’t go thinking you’re a bad person or whatever again! That’s offensive to me and all the students who respect you.”
“I understand,” the teacher answered, laughing. Her smiling face was so beautiful in the sunlight; Risa couldn’t stop staring with awe-stricken eyes. This teacher had spent her free period trying to cheer her up; she really cared that much. And she had said that she was being affected by the bean as well! Risa smiled, feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. She loved her; it was so easy to accept it now. She loved Takahashi-sensei for who she was.
Suddenly, a small gust of wind sent the leaves flying up. The two women covered their faces with their arms. When the breeze died down, Risa opened her eyes to look at her teacher again.
“Wait, Gaki-san, there’s something in your hair,” the teacher said, reaching out to her student.
She removed the leaf from Risa’s head, grazing her bangs in the process. The student blushed furiously at the small contact as her heart started to beat faster. Ai noticed the color-change in her cheeks and started to worry.
“Gaki-san, are you feeling okay?” she asked.
“I-I’m fine!” Risa answered stiffly.
“You’re face looks awfully red right now,” she said. “Maybe you should go to the nurse’s office…”
She reached out and cupped the bean’s cheek, stroke her smooth skin with her thumb. Risa stayed frozen as her eyes fixated on Ai’s concerned face. The warmth of the teacher’s hands overtook all other senses; she couldn’t see, hear, or feel anything else anymore.
Sensei’s hands moved upwards to swish her bangs to the side, trying to check if she had a fever or not. At that moment, Risa blinked furiously and finally broke away from her own little trance. She jumped to her feet, grabbed her bento box, and clutched it to her chest.
“I-uh… I need to go!” she yelled, staring at her feet so as not to reveal her red face.d
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Ai inquired. “I really think you should go to the nurse—”
“I’m perfectly fine, really!” the bean interrupted, talking quickly. “Thank you for today!”
Ai watched her student quickly bow and run away, swiftly entering the school building. She smiled, thinking of how cute her uptight iinchou could be sometimes. Then, her smile slowly disappeared as she looked down at her hand that had stroked Risa’s cheek. The heat was still there and the sensation was still there.
“You overdid it there, Ai,” she murmured softly to herself. “You need better control than that.”
She looked up again at the place where the bean had disappeared. She knew that she shouldn’t push it any more. Her hands had extended out unconsciously, and a little too eagerly, but she knew she had to stop now. After all, she couldn’t have Risa liking her anymore than she already did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And now, the story picks up :twisted:
Ah, it's gonna be fun writing here on out :lol:
:byebye:
-
First! :lol:
*Risa worries over Eri*
She must feel so helpless, but there really was nothing she could do. I mean, was she supposed to hold Eri's hand while she was out on her dates? Make her tell Reina the truth in person? Of course not. Not all she can do is be there and maybe talk to Reina, try to plead her case.
*Takahashi-Sensei to the rescue*
:lol: Ai. And taking Risa's outburst in stride.
Risa smiled, feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. She loved her; it was so easy to accept it now. She loved Takahashi-sensei for who she was.
:wub: Aww~
She reached out and cupped the bean’s cheek, stroke her smooth skin with her thumb.
That was quite intimate. :inlove:
She knew that she shouldn’t push it any more. Her hands had extended out unconsciously, and a little too eagerly, but she knew she had to stop now. After all, she couldn’t have Risa liking her anymore than she already did.
I think it's probably, she doesn't need to be liking Gaki-san more than she already does. Except the she NEEDS to like Gaki-san more than she already does!
So what next? Jun and co dealing with a sullen Reina or Jun(and co) dealing with a sullen(but actually not) Sayu?
-
“You need better control than that.”
NO YOU DON'T! I mean, don't say that Sensei... :mon sweat:
And now, the story picks up
Ah, it's gonna be fun writing here on out
:twothumbs
-
So what next? Jun and co dealing with a sullen Reina or Jun(and co) dealing with a sullen(but actually not) Sayu?

kinda hard, i just came home, turn on the pc, open the FireFox and fall sleep XD
But I'm healthy and a little tired and busy and stressed and boring (just a few times, cause there's no internet for desktops just wi.fi and they system area don't want to give us the password for it, but I have already XD. That's why I have a PSP 8D ) but happy, cause I like my job =D
Hope you are fine too.. how's school =O? everything ok?
PS: Damn... I want some JunSayu hotness XD
-
Nice Chapter like always :twothumbs
Ai really gives some good advice :)
and hope reina will forgive eri :cry:
“You overdid it there, Ai,” she murmured softly to herself. “You need better control than that.”
wow... it's like she did it to some other students before?
She looked up again at the place where the bean had disappeared. She knew that she shouldn’t push it any more. Her hands had extended out unconsciously, and a little too eagerly, but she knew she had to stop now. After all, she couldn’t have Risa liking her anymore than she already did.
oh come on....everyone know thats TakaGaki should be together :D :D :D
-
ohh here we come...Tanakame broke~ :cry:
nooo...can't wait till tanakame love back again XD
I'm really curios how they'll fixed their relationship...
and takagaki's more serious too now...
thanks for update btw :)
can't wait for your update moreeee and moree XD
“You overdid it there, Ai,” she murmured softly to herself. “You need better control than that.”
wow... it's like she did it to some other students before?
OMG! :lol:
-
Poor Gaki thinking that she could of done something when infact there was really nothing she could do, this is really Eri's fault becuase she was happy not to tell Reina and Reina found out rather than Eri telling her, Gaki was the most insistant about it, but still, good people will worry about their friends though I doubt Gaki being over at Eri's would of made much of a difference...
Seems as though Ai is having problems trying to keep control of her feelings for Gaki, I wonder if she will be able to keep up her defences?
-
@mmsuki: lol Sensei just can't help it... XD And glad to make your day brighter! :lol:
@kawaii beam: let's see how much Jun comforts reina.. :P btw, can I request something with specific pics on your avii/sig thread? i really need a change.. :nervous
@Fushigidane: we'll see~~~ :D
@kano-chan: lol Gaki-san is all love but I wonder how Sensei feels... :P
@convoy/M: aww, that is so sweet!! That really motivates me to know that I'm making someone's holidays and stuff. thanks you~ :heart: :twothumbs
@kurosawa87: lol yeah, Ai's advice rules~ :D
@Haruka: lol that's okay. I'm glad you're doing okay~ and I totally understand loving the job but having no other time. But it's worth it, isn't it? XD
@fallenxangel: OH NOES sensei hasn't done that to other students before.. that's just her trying to be too much of a responsible adult :D
@reikoshi: everything is pretty much serious at this point... I'll still try my best with the humor though :lol:
@oddball: Could Gaki have made a change? The world will never know. XD But you're right, it really isn't her fault. But that's just the bean feeling like a responsible/guilty/good/mature friend :D
I felt so much love from these comments~ I don't know what but I really did~ was it the language? perhaps :lol:
But anyway, thank you so much for reading! I truly appreciate every comment you guys leave for me, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :wub:
so without further ado, next update! XD

Chapter 27
“Where the hell is that girl?” Junjun fumed, stomping down the hallway.
“Calm down, Jun-senpai,” Linlin comforted, flanking the taller panda’s left. “I’m sure she’s around the school somewhere.”
“Of course she’s somewhere in school,” Junjun scoffed, rolling her eyes. “That girl hasn’t missed a day of school ever since she moved here. Even when she was sick!”
“Not like she ever gets really sick either,” Aika giggled, swinging her camera in her hand while flanking the yankii leader’s right.
“You guys don’t get it!” the tall panda yelled, as though she was about to go into hysterics. “It has never taken me this long to find her before! I’m faster than this; I feel like a failure.”
“Um, you’re getting a little too dramatic there, senpai,” Linlin laughed nervously.
“I think you’re destroying your cool character’s reputation right now,” Aika smiled innocently. “I mean, if my senses are correct, I believe we’re being stared at by everybody right now.”
Junjun looked up and finally started to pay some attention to her environment. She was clutching her head in the middle of the hallway during free period; a lot of students had been chatting or hanging out in the hall but now they were all silently staring at her. They weren’t used to a nervous Junjun.
“Oh…” the yankii leader said, dusting off her uniform and fixing her hair. “Sorry for the sudden panic, everyone; I’m perfectly fine!”
“Junjun, are you feeling okay?” one girl inquired with a concerned face. “Maybe you should go to the nurse—”
“No need, no need,” Junjun laughed heartily, shaking her head. “I’m just a little more tired today…”
“Jun-senpai is really losing it today, everyone,” Aika announced in a loud voice, smiling, “but for a good reason! Does anybody know where Tanaka Reina-senpai is right now?”
“Way to publicize my nervous breakdown, Mittsi,” Junjun grumbled, glaring at her kouhai. “And I thought you were concerned about my reputation.”
“Well, if I don’t do this, who knows what you might do in the near future?” Aika grinned. “I believe I just backed you up like a good underling.”
“I’m with Aika on this one, Jun-senpai, sorry,” Linlin smiled.
“You’re always with Aika on everything,” the taller panda rolled her eyes.
“Um, if you still want to know,” a tall girl interrupted cautiously, “I think I saw Tanaka-senpai walk towards the gymnasium.”
“Why would she walk to the—” Junjun stopped as her eyes widened. She looked at her two kouhais who also had the same shocked expression as her. “I see… Thanks, Yurina-chan!”
With that, the yankii leader started to briskly walk down the hallway with her underlings close by. When they were away from the large crowd, Aika opened her mouth.
“Why would Tanaka-senpai go to the gymnasium?” she asked.
“She’s using the back door to get to the empty lot behind the school, duh,” Junjun answered.
“I know that, I’m asking why she would go to the lot,” the younger member rephrased her question. “That was a common spot for the school yankiis; we stopped using it a long time ago after Reina senpai left the gang.”
“What reason would she have for going there then?” Linlin inquired.
“Well, we used to trade drugs there,” Junjun replied. “And we used to have rumbles too… We did everything the teachers shouldn’t know about at the lot. But I doubt Reina is there to get drugged.”
“So, what do we do?” Linlin asked.
“You girls stay here and go to class when the bell rings,” the yankii leader ordered. “I’ll go talk to Reina and see what’s up.”
The two younger girls nodded as they slowly parted from the older panda. Junjun continued to walk without turning back, making her way towards the gymnasium. She turned a couple corners and noticed the crowd slowly thinning out. After all, the gym was at the far end of the school so no student would take their time during free period to walk around in that area when they could just hang out near the courtyard or in the hallways.
Junjun finally opened the double doors of the large gym and strutted across the empty room. Her sneakers— which were against the school dress code, by the way, since all girls had to wear the uniform shoes— squeaked against the waxed wooden floor as she quickly made her way to the door at the far end. She looked around a little bit before walking out through that door, meeting the bright sun outside. She turned and came across a wired fence with the sign “DANGER: ELECTRICAL HAZARD”. There were spiky barbed wires along the top edge. Junjun took a couple steps back before taking an easy jog towards the fence; she quickly climbed up the wires and flipped over the fence while being careful not to touch the barbed wire. Her gang had discovered long ago when Reina was still the leader that the fence was actually harmless; after all, what kind of prestigious private school would put such a dangerous fence on school grounds?
Junjun dusted off her uniform a little bit before walking around the final corner of the school building, reaching the back lot. She grinned as she spotted the exact person she had been looking for.
“You’re late,” Reina mumbled, smushing something on the sandy ground with her hand.
“Who knew you would be here of all places?” Junjun sighed.
“Well, I was the one who found this place first,” the ex-yankii said in a low voice.
“True that,” the panda agreed.
She walked closer to her previous leader and sank down next to her. Reina was crouching, yankii-style, wearing sweatpants underneath her skirt. Part of her hair was tied up into a partial ponytail on the side. But the thing that shocked Junjun the most was the object that went in and out of Reina’s mouth, leaving gray smoke behind.
“You’re wearing sweatpants,” the panda stated. “That’s against the dress code.”
“So is your entire appearance, Jun,” Reina retorted.
“You tied your hair. You always keep it down and straight.”
“I used to tie it all the time.”
“Yeah, back when you were still part of the gang.”
“Whatever.”
“… And you’re smoking.”
“Am I not allowed to smoke?”
“You usually don’t smoke unless I offer first,” Junjun explained, starting to get annoyed with Reina’s dull attitude. She pointed to the dried up scraps of cigarettes on the ground. “But you already finished five by yourself. What’s going on with you, Reina? Aika and Linlin are worried too.”
“Where are they, anyway?” the kitten questioned. “Aren’t they always with you?”
“I told them to stay back so I can talk to you in private,” the yankii leader replied. “I thought you would want it that way, since this seems like a pretty serious situation.”
“Always the mind reader, Junjun,” Reina laughed dryly. She pressed the cigarette in her hand on the ground before throwing it away. She sighed a couple times, exhaling leftover puffs of gray smoke. “You’re right, something did happen.”
“Go on.”
“… I’ll be straightforward with this,” Reina said slowly and quietly. “Eri is a girl.”
“... Oh,” Junjun remarked, her widening for just a second before her expression returned to normal again. “Huh. Well, that wasn’t expected.”
“Damn right, it wasn’t,” Reina growled, sinking completely down to the dirt and hugging her knees. “You don’t seem that surprised.”
“You know I’m hard to catch off-guard,” Junjun grinned.
“I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing,” the shorter girl muttered.
“Let’s get back to you,” the panda sighed. “So Eri is a girl. And you’re angry?”
“Incredibly!” Reina yelled, finally releasing her emotions. “She lied to me, Jun! I thought I knew everything there was to know about Eri but that… person… hid one of the most important things from me! Her existence means something different to me now!”
Reina stared into her friend’s unwavering eyes for a couple more seconds before looking away, breathing heavily. Junjun just calmly watched her previous leader catch her breath again. She knew there was more. There had to be.
“But the truth is,” the kitten continued in a quieter tone, “I’m more confused than angry. I mean, I thought I loved Eri, you know? And now that Eri is a girl… I don’t know what to do.”
“Does Eri being a girl really make that much difference to you?” Junjun asked.
“No— Yes— No, I don’t know!” Reina yelled, her face showing her indecisiveness. “I mean, I’ve never liked a girl before and I’ve never gone out with a girl before. When Eri was a boy, I thought Eri was the one. But now… I just… I don’t get anything. Nothing is clear in my head. Junjun, she just keeps on texting me and calling me, begging me to hear her out. But I don’t know if I have the courage to do that. I don’t know what’s going to come out of her mouth and whether I want to hear her or not. I mean, what if I say something even crueler to her? Is that going to make me feel better or worse? I just don’t know anything, Jun!”
Reina ducked her head into her knees after her rant, her hands tightening around her pants. Junjun just gazed at her dejected friend, feeling pity yet somehow annoyed. Yes, Reina was going through a hard time. But how could she not realize, even after seeing her best friend with countless girls and seeing Aika and Linlin being all lovey-dovey with each other, that gender really does not matter in these cases? It was so obvious that the kitten was going through this because she just couldn’t accept the fact that she loved Eri unconditionally.
Junjun sighed. She gently patted the smaller girl on the head before standing up and stretching.
“Listen,” she started. “I’m not going to tell you what to do, alright? But I think you really need to have some quiet time. Think things through carefully; you know what it is that you truly want. All you need to do is organize your thoughts and look inside your heart. That’s not something I can help with.”
Reina stayed silent but she gave a curt nod in response to her friend’s advice.
“Alright, then, I’m going to go back to class; the bell is going to ring soon,” the panda said. “Are you coming?”
“I think I’ll have my quiet time now,” the conflicted girl mumbled.
“Suit yourself,” Junjun yawned. “I’ll catch you later, okay?”
With that, the taller girl walked back towards the fence and climbed over. She entered the gym once more and walked towards the double doors that led to the main hall. When she was halfway across the large room, she rolled her eyes and sighed.
“I know you guys are there,” she called loudly. “Open the door for me, will ya?”
The double doors opened to reveal Junjun’s two underlings, grinning nervously while scratching their heads. Junjun shook her head as she walked in between them.
“Didn’t I tell you guys to go back to class?” she questioned.
“You can’t blame us for being curious,” Aika replied.
“Yeah, at least we didn’t listen in,” Linlin chimed in.
“If you listened in, neither of you guys would be standing right now,” Junjun said coolly.
“Just tell us what happened,” Aika sighed. “Is Tanaka-senpai okay?”
“I’ll fill you guys in later,” the leader said. “But we have a job to do after school today.”
“What are we doing?” Linlin asked.
Junjun continued to walk down the nearly empty hallway, staring straight ahead. Her usually friendly eyes were dark and cold. There wasn’t the slightest hint of a smile on her lips. She was dealing Reina’s feelings now; she knew she had to take cautious actions. Part of her felt that she should leave the kitten to solve her own problems but maybe a small shove in the right direction would help her out a bit. Maybe it would help both of the people involved in this situation. Junjun opened her mouth to give her two curious kouhais an answer as to what their plans for after school were.
“It’s time we pay a visit to a certain turtle,” she said.

I knew it. Jun was going to be the one to reunite TanaKame :D
I hope Eri doesn't get too scared when they first bump into each other though :nervous
(And at least Reina wasn't just angry, calling Eri a liar and a fraud and whatnot. She is confused!! :twisted: )
-
hooray! new chapter, well done SarangAi. Eri will have a " meeting" with Jun, it's really worth to wait :yossi:
-
“It’s time we pay a visit to a certain turtle,” she said.
Yay!! :otomerika: Wait! They're just gonna talk right?
-
Jun's Reina-Radar is cute. We all should have one.
Good story development. Can't wait for Eri to get beat up.
-
oh yey!! an update.. :) your update is something i always look forward too.. :cow: :thumbsup
It was so obvious that the kitten was going through this because she just couldn’t accept the fact that she loved Eri unconditionally.
true that! too bad the kitten can't see it for herself.. :nervous:
Her usually friendly eyes were dark and cold. There wasn’t the slightest hint of a smile on her lips.
:stoned: kowai.. XD
Part of her felt that she should leave the kitten to solve her own problems but maybe a small shove in the right direction would help her out a bit.
yes!! a little shove won't hurt.. push if you have to and if worse comes to worse just throw her completely in the right direction.. lol :lol:
“It’s time we pay a visit to a certain turtle,” she said.
:on_plug: O-OH!! :mon blowhorn: run eri!! run!!..
But I hope you can feel the same excitement I'm feeling!
DEFINITELY!! probably more because we don't exactly know whats gonna happened next.. i can only assume as to whats gonna happen.. :huhuh :?
but one thing is for sure..the end result would be.. --> (http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3056/o0359064010920181252.jpg) :wub: :oops: :inlove:

Oh geezz.. Jun loses her cool just for Sayu. :mon roll:
And Reina is revealing more of her yanki-ness! :shocked No smoking! So she's only confused.. She said two NOs. That's good, right? She just need to accept the fact that she loves Eri unconditionally. :roll:
The exciting part is coming! :cow: Jun and her underlings are going to give Eri a visit, but I doubt they would harm her. :mon noprob: Probably when Reina is around too! :w00t: So Reina can show that she still cares for the turtle. :mon innocent:
And about the mistakes... I didn't notice any because I was so into the story. :twothumbs
-
“You guys don’t get it!” the tall panda yelled, as though she was about to go into hysterics. “It has never taken me this long to find her before! I’m faster than this; I feel like a failure.”
:lol: :lol: Jun freaking out is funny.
“Jun-senpai is really losing it today, everyone,” Aika announced in a loud voice, smiling, “but for a good reason! Does anybody know where Tanaka Reina-senpai is right now?”
Wow, Aika. XD
“You’re late,” Reina mumbled, smushing something on the sandy ground with her hand.
She knew her friend would find her.
Reina was crouching, yankii-style, wearing sweatpants underneath her skirt. Part of her hair was tied up into a partial ponytail on the side. But the thing that shocked Junjun the most was the object that went in and out of Reina’s mouth, leaving gray smoke behind.
:w00t: Yankii Reina!
“But the truth is,” the kitten continued in a quieter tone, “I’m more confused than angry. I mean, I thought I loved Eri, you know? And now that Eri is a girl… I don’t know what to do.”
Hmm, doesn't seem that confusing to me. 8)
It was so obvious that the kitten was going through this because she just couldn’t accept the fact that she loved Eri unconditionally.
:wub: Aww
“It’s time we pay a visit to a certain turtle,” she said.
:shocked Eri's gonna die!

Chapter 22
But a strong part of the bean also hoped that her teacher would quickly realize her feelings.
Then tell her already :D
Except this time, she was wearing her school uniform so her teacher had a very good view of her pink underwear.
OMG :grin:
“What if it wasn’t me sitting in this chair? What if it was some boy? That would have been dangerous.”
Why am I thinking that it was still dangerous in a different way :grin:
“And if I do this, you’ll get rid of the strike that I have, right?”
lol
“No!” the bean interrupted, smiling nervously.
XD
She unfolded it and read it again for about the tenth time that day, ever since she had confiscated it from her student.
:shocked :shocked :w00t: :cow:
It’s too late for you, and for the poor girl. So what’s my next step…?
Who's the poor girl? :huhuh
Chapter 23
The bunny had just fought a mob war near the cafeteria to get the specific type of bento that the older panda had wanted;
Lovely to imagine :D
“I want you to feed me, Usa-chan,” she grinned.
Whoa! :on lol:
For some reason, she couldn’t take her eyes of the yankii. There was something about her…
And the spark begins :mon fyeah:
“Take your clothes off,” the panda ordered.
:mon blood:
She slowly opened the curtain, expecting to see the yankii standing there, but there was no one.
Jun, you're the man, I mean woman
“Stop being a perv, Usa-chan.”
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Sayumi carefully wiped the blood away from Junjun’s palm
Aww, she's becoming soft :wub:
“Why not? They’re cute…” Sayumi mumbled, her cheeks blushing bright red. “Stop laughing!”
“Ha-ha-ha! Sorry, I just… Ha-ha! Sorry, Usa-chan,” Junjun laughed, finally managing to sigh and calm down. She grinned and spoke sincerely to the girl in front of her. “Thank you. I really appreciate this.”
Very lovely :yep:
“we could do another challenge?”
Yeah, and another after that :w00t: that would be cool :D
The bunny quickly ran out of the locker room, dashing as fast as she could towards her classroom. Junjun, on the other hand, followed behind lazily
Was imagining Sayu running with all her might while Junjun was just walking fast but they were still side by side XD :P :grin:
Chapter 24
Kameha and Gakiha convo's making me think ebil lol
But for some reason, the turtle just didn’t want to come out of her shell; she had held on to the head board of the bed until her knuckles turned white while Risa had tried to pull her out by her ankles.
XD
But every single time I try, she somehow manages to get me off-topic and we go on to about how nicely everything worked out for us. I can’t break her happiness by telling her the truth after that
Poor turtle
“Yeah, he told me not to come but— hey, I don’t need to tell you guys any of this!”
The delinquents know how to stay on topic XD
If she was addicted, this was the good kind of drug.
Happily in love :luvluv2:
Chapter 25
Risa just decided to leave the door unlocked and walked down the stairs.
Hmmm, something's going to happen
Okay, here I go, Reina thought. Ichi… Ni… San…… Shiiiiiii…… “Damn it, why is it taking so long?!”
Cute XD
She finally reached the fifth floor to see a pretty girl with short brown hair coming down the steps.
Risa :O
Feeling a little worried, Reina tried the door handle as she started to think about using the bobby pin in her pocket to pick the lock.
OMG! :mon scare: + Cool Reina :D
Who’s Risa-chan? Reina thought, raising her eyebrows.
Yay! She's jealous :mon trannie:
“Um, I’m coming in, Eri.”
:mon scare: :mon scare: :mon scare:
“Wait, don’t come in, I’m still changing—”
:mon freeze: :mon freeze: :mon freeze:
The turtle was wearing a pair of sweatpants but her t-shirt was still around her neck, revealing her bare upper body clad in a black bra. Her white skin, her slim waist, her two breasts… everything was visible.
:fainted: :fainted: :fainted:
“Don’t you dare touch me again!”
Ouches
I should’ve pushed her harder… I should’ve helped her more… she thought, feeling her chest tighten. What can I do for Eri now? What can anybody do…?
I'll cry with her :gyaaah:
Chapter 26
This wasn’t even a misunderstanding that could be cleared up;
True
“For you,” she said, offering the drink. “Go on, take it.”
:wriggly: :wriggly: :wriggly:
Are you going to take it or not?”
Funny sensei XD
sitting close to her student.
Aww, very lovely :luvluv1: :luvluv1: :luvluv1: Is she making her move? :w00t:
“Again with the good person-bad person thing?” Risa yelled, feeling a little angry at how simplistic her teacher was being. “Enough with that analogy of yours, Sensei! I keep on telling you I’m not a perfectly good person and you’re not a bad person either! So just stop with all that!”
Yay! Lovers quarrel lol
“Sorry for getting mad at you, Sensei.”
“You don’t need to apologize, I should’ve worded it better,” Ai smiled.
Aww, kiss and make up :grin:
“I’m glad,” the bean grinned. “And don’t go thinking you’re a bad person or whatever again! That’s offensive to me and all the students who respect you.”
:rockon:
“You’re face looks awfully red right now,”
XD
“Maybe you should go to the nurse’s office…”
Sensei is playing :roll:
She reached out and cupped the bean’s cheek, stroke her smooth skin with her thumb. Risa stayed frozen as her eyes fixated on Ai’s concerned face. The warmth of the teacher’s hands overtook all other senses; she couldn’t see, hear, or feel anything else anymore.
Kiss her har har lol
“You need better control than that.”
Please, don't control yourself XD
Chapter 27
“Way to publicize my nervous breakdown, Mittsi,”
:lol:
“That was a common spot for the school yankiis; we stopped using it a long time ago after Reina senpai left the gang.”
She's heart broken and so... she's back to her yankii old self?
“I know you guys are there,” she called loudly. “Open the door for me, will ya?”
:lol: Ii nakama :lol:
“It’s time we pay a visit to a certain turtle,” she said.
Interesting

So here's a new years present XD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 28
“Oi, Kame! Wait up!” Risa yelled, running after her friend. She grabbed Eri’s shoulder and spun her around. “Chotto, didn’t you hear me? I said wait!”
“Huh?” the turtle mumbled, her eyes widening a little bit. “Oh. Gomen, Risa-chan… I must’ve been spacing out.”
Risa rolled her eyes as she linked arms with her friend, as if to support her. After Eri had come out of the nurse’s office, she had spaced out for the whole entire day. The only time the light returned to her eyes was when she checked her cell phone; after realizing there was no reply, her pupils would turn to glass again as she slouched over in her chair.
And now, for the first time since they became friends, Eri had left Risa in the classroom and walked out of the school right after the bell rang. The bean had to run after the fast-walking turtle to catch up to her.
“Come on, Eri, pull yourself together,” Risa sighed. “I know you’re upset but becoming lifeless doesn’t solve anything. You’re seriously starting to worry me now.”
Eri suddenly stopped her in tracks and abruptly turned to face the bean. She smiled sadly. “Gomene, Risa-chan. I’m sorry for worrying you. Nobody else needs to feel down about this but I guess my depression kind of rubbed off on you. I’m sorry.”
“That’s not what I want to hear,” Risa groaned. “I don’t want you to be sorry about dragging me down with you, if that’s what you’re thinking. I want to know how you feel, Kame, you’re my best friend. I’m worried that you’re feeling bad, not me. So don’t apologize for stupid things like that; I’m with you all the way.”
“…You’re such a good friend, Risa-chan!” Eri suddenly yelled, making a puppy-dog face. She jumped into the bean’s arms and gave her a good squeeze. “I’m so glad you’re always beside me! I don’t deserve a friend like you!”
“Okay, okay, too much drama,” Risa laughed, patting the turtle’s back. Well, at least that cheered her up a little… “You’re starting to choke me now, Kame. Let go.”
Eri took a step back and gave a small smile. The two friends linked arms again once more and walked towards the school exit together. There were a lot of other students in the front field, heading toward the gates. But there were three students waiting by the exit, not wearing a school uniform. They were drawing a lot of attention to themselves, but they didn’t seem to care so much.
The tall black-haired girl was leaning on the brick wall, twirling a chain of keys that was connected to her belt; she was wearing a large black sweater with baggy jeans and sneakers. The girl with short wavy hair was crouching, wearing layers of camisoles with jean shorts and long boots. The third girl was standing the most casually, wearing a plaid miniskirt with a tank-top and a hoodie; she was the only one smiling pleasantly at the students of Haro Kotogakko, trying to be polite. The crouching girl was keeping her glare on the ground as though her looks would kill someone if she lifted her head. The tallest girl was expressionless.
Eri spotted them first and faltered in her steps a little. Risa looked at her friend and followed her gaze to the three girls standing by the gate. She gasped softly and fear swept over her; who were those girls? Eri seemed to know them… Could they be Reina’s friends? Whoever they were, Risa didn’t like the vibe she was getting from them.
Eri composed her face and continued to walk towards the three girls, dragging the bean along. The truth was that she was feeling a little scared too; Reina’s friends had been nice before when they first met but that was back when Eri was still a boy. Things were different now. But the turtle knew she couldn’t avoid them forever. They were here to speak with her and she knew it. Besides, she even felt like she deserved whatever treatment she was about to get. She had hurt Reina, and that was an ultimate sin to her.
The girl in the skirt was the first to spot the turtle and the bean, linked to each other. She smiled brightly and waved. The girl on the ground noticed what her lover was doing and stood up, glaring at Eri. Junjun dropped the chain of keys she was twirling and faced the approaching students. She grinned.
“Oshisashiburi, Eri-kun,” she greeted. “Or should I say Eri-chan now?”
“Good to see you again too, Junjun-san,” the turtle said quietly. “And Mitsui-san and Linlin-san.”
The younger panda gave an energetic wave with a quick greeting while Aika just continued to glare.
“Well, let’s get straight to the point,” the yankii leader said. “We need to talk.”
“I know,” Eri answered. “Can we do this behind the school? I’d prefer it if we didn’t do this in public.”
“Good, I feel the same way,” Junjun smiled. She motioned to her underlings to walk behind her as she turned to go to the chosen location. Linlin took Aika’s hand to get her to stop staring at Eri and start walking instead.
Eri started to follow behind but Risa tugged on her arm, reluctant to let her go; the bean felt like she was letting her friend walk right into the lion’s den. None of these girls seemed like they were in a happy mood except for the one wearing the skirt; her happiness actually seemed out of place at the moment.
“Go home, Risa-chan,” Eri whispered. “I’ll be fine.” She actually didn’t know if she was going to be fine or not. But hey, as long as they didn’t break her leg, she’d be able to walk home somehow.
“No, either you’re coming with me or I’m coming with you,” Risa said determinedly. “But I prefer you coming with me.”
“I choose neither,” the turtle replied. “Look, this is my problem. I’m happy you want to stay with me but this is something I have to face alone. Please trust me on this?”
“… You better come home on time,” the bean muttered, staring straight into the turtle’s eyes as if to hypnotize her. “I’m going to come up with dinner later so you better be there to answer the door.”
“I will,” Eri smiled.
After a couple more seconds of staring and silently reassuring, the two friends finally let go of each other. The turtle turned and quickly ran after her visitors.
They reached the back of the school in no time, where litter was scattered in the corner with shards of broken glass and ripped pieces of paper. Eri stood a couple feet away from the three delinquents; Junjun seemed to be silently observing her while Aika, who was standing in between the pandas, was just glaring again. Linlin had a slightly nervous face, her eyes flitting from her girlfriend to her leader to the turtle. For a gang member, she seemed to be the one who wanted peace the most.
“It’s kind of odd to see you in a girl’s school uniform,” Junjun chuckled, stroking her chin. “I guess you really are a girl… and a cute one too.” She winked.
“… Well that’s something I’ve never heard before,” Eri said, blinking.
“Really? Because I do think you’re pretty cute dressed like that,” the yankii said, examining the turtle again. “Your friend from before was cute too.”
“This isn’t what you came to say, right?” Eri sighed, changing the subject. “Can we just get it over with?”
“… You know, I’m kind of surprised that you just voluntarily followed us here,” Junjun remarked. “Weren’t you scared?”
“A little,” the turtle admitted. “Why, did you expect me to run?”
“Actually, no,” the panda laughed. “You didn’t seem like that kind of type.”
“And I’m not,” Eri sighed. “I’m not going anywhere until you’re done. Just… do whatever makes you happy. Hit me, cut me, I don’t care anymore so go ahead. ”
“Hey, wait a minute,” Junjun started, “we’re not here to—”
“Gladly!” Aika interrupted. She suddenly flipped up her girlfriend’s skirt and snatched away one of the knives secured around Linlin’s thigh with a leather band. Then, she dashed forward while switching the knife open in the process and swung the weapon at Eri’s neck. The turtle gasped as she shut her eyes tightly.
“Aika!” Junjun shouted angrily, stopping her kouhai’s action. “Step away from Eri, now.”
“She offered!” Aika yelled, still glaring at the turtle with pure hatred. “She said I can hit her or cut her or do whatever I want—”
“I said, stand back NOW,” Junjun ordered firmly.
Aika held the knife against Eri’s throat for a couple more seconds. The turtle could feel the cold metal of the blade touching her skin, but felt no pain. At least not yet.
“Aika!” Linlin pleaded, opening her mouth for the first time.
“… Damn it,” the attacker muttered, pulling away her weapon. She whipped around and walked back to her gang members where Junjun was holding her hand out. Aika placed the closed switch blade on her leader’s hand and walked around to stand next to her girlfriend.
“Don’t do stupid things,” Junjun sighed, closing the knife. “You had no real intention of hurting her anyway.”
“Did too,” Aika muttered, not wanting to seem weak.
“Yeah you totally wanted to kill her,” Junjun smirked. “That’s why you were holding the knife the wrong way.”
Eri now understood why she could feel the blade on her throat but no blood or pain. Aika had held the knife so that the smooth side was touching the turtle’s skin while sharp edge was facing out.
“It was an accident,” Aika argued.
“You don’t make amateur mistakes,” Junjun grinned. She tossed the weapon back to its original owner. “Keep your knives to yourself, Linlin, will you?”
“I didn’t know she was going to take it from me like that,” the younger panda mumbled.
“Well then, make sure you keep your girlfriend from reaching up your skirt again,” Junjun snapped. Linlin looked down, mumbling an obedient answer. Aika slipped her hand into her girlfriend’s hand, whispering a quiet apology under her breath. Only then, Linlin smiled and looked up at her lover, reassuring her.
So now, Eri knew three more things about this gang. One, Aika could be scary… really scary, and very fast. Two, Linlin kept knives under her skirt; Eri wasn’t sure if she wanted to see her use them because being the owner of the weapons, chances were that she was even more skilled at using them than her girlfriend. And three, Junjun was stronger than both of them combined; that was how she could keep even a frightening little monster like Aika in check.
“Well, that was something I hadn’t planned for,” the yankii leader sighed, scratching her head. “Sorry about that, Eri-chan. But really, we’re not here to hurt you.”
“You’re not?” the turtle asked.
“Not at all,” Junjun smiled. “I just had a couple things to relay to you. Is that okay?”
“Um… sure,” Eri answered hesitantly. So the gang wasn’t here to beat her up for what she did to Reina. What could they need to say to her?
“I’ll be straightforward with you,” Junjun said, taking a step forward. “I’m here as Reina’s friend but I’m not on anybody’s side or something like that. I’m not saying this for your benefit or for mine or for whoever’s. All I care about is Reina’s wellbeing and her happiness.”
“It’s the same for me too,” Eri said quietly. “I… I really didn’t mean to hurt her like that. I tried to tell her earlier but…”
“You don’t need to tell me what happened, it’s too late anyway,” Junjun sighed. “I just wanted to tell you something; Reina isn’t angry at you.”
“She’s not?” Eri said loudly, her eyes widening.
“No, it’s more like she’s confused,” the panda smiled sadly. “You have to understand, Reina has gone out with other guys before but she’s never been with a girl and has never thought about being with a girl. She doesn’t quite admit it but I think it’s safe to say that she still has feelings for you.”
“She… she does?” Eri croaked, choking on her breath.
“She just finds it hard to accept that she might actually like you for who you are rather than your gender,” Junjun said straightforwardly, rolling her eyes. “I find it kind of stupid but of course, I didn’t say that to her face. Anyway, my point is that it’s not over for you yet.”
“… What do you think I should do?” Eri asked. “Is there a way I can talk to her?”
“I wouldn’t suggest that,” the panda said, shaking her head. “Her natural instinct would tell her to shut you out. I think you should actually do the opposite: don’t call her or text her anymore. Don’t contact her in anyway and don’t beg her for anything. Give her some space and some time to think. I think that’ll do the trick. That’s the only chance you have now.”
“… Will that really do it?” Eri whispered.
“I don’t know if it’ll help you,” Junjun admitted. “But giving her some alone time will help her organize her thoughts and truly think about what she wants. Her choice might not be in your favor but she’ll be happier. Isn’t that what you want?”
“… Yes,” the turtle answered, decidedly. Even if she and Reina wouldn’t be together, all she wanted was for Reina to be happy. She didn’t deserve to feel the horrible pain that Eri gave her…
“Then it’s settled,” the yankii leader sighed. “That’s really all I wanted to say. I don’t know how long it’ll take but it’s better to just stay away for a little while, okay?”
“Or stay away forever,” Aika muttered under her breath, causing Linlin to squeeze her hand.
“And I’ll keep that girl away from you too, so don’t worry,” Junjun laughed.
But Eri didn’t smile. She could only stare at the ground with blank eyes. Would giving Reina space really help her? If it does, will Eri be okay with the choice the kitten makes? What if Reina decides to completely throw her away? Will she be able to stand it?
Junjun sighed and smiled a little, reading the turtle’s mind. She walked over to the worried girl and patted her on the shoulder, causing her to look up.
“Hey, I know you’re scared,” the panda murmured softly. “And I know you may find me hard to believe… but you just have to trust me on this. It’s going to do Reina some good. And if things go way off course, I’ll be there to set it back in track, alright?”
“… Why are you helping me so much?” Eri questioned.
“I’m not helping you,” Junjun grinned. “I’m helping Reina. I’ve never seen her happier than when she was with you; I think you’re doing plenty of good for her. So I’m kind of trusting you on this too. See how that works out?”
“Um, I guess…”
“Great!” the yankii replied. “We’ll catch you next time, Eri-chan!” She snapped her fingers to signal to her underlings. Aika and Linlin immediately flanked her sides.
“Arigatou, Junjun-san!” Eri called.
“Call me Junjun!” the yankii leader yelled, lifting up her hand without looking back.
“And call me Linlin too!” the younger panda yelled, looking back and waving. “And you can call her Aika!”
“Don’t you dare call me anything!” the third girl growled, glaring back.
The three yankiis soon disappeared around the corner, leaving Eri alone in the empty lot. So it seemed that Junjun could be quite smart and serious, despite her joking manner. She really seemed concerned about Reina’s future. Aika definitely held the most contempt for the turtle; after all, Eri had hurt her most respected senpai. She probably just wanted to cut off ties with Eri entirely. Linlin was actually the most mysterious of all; either she was stupid or she just didn’t care. But considering how the rest of the gang was, Eri deduced that Linlin probably had a different reason for not hating her so much. Maybe that was just how she always is; smiling and friendly.
Eri was determined now. She would do her best to make Reina happy again. And if giving her space was going to help her reach that goal, then she would do it. Maybe this was even a better punishment than begging. After all, doing nothing seemed harder than chasing after the girl.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope that answered a couple questions. I feel like I elaborated a bit more on the gang XD
I want to thank you all for your support during 2010!!! I first started writing this summer and it has been a very memorable year for me on JPH!P, thanks to all of you! :kneelbow: :farofflook: :kneelbow: :farofflook: :kneelbow: :farofflook: :kneelbow:
I will continue to do my best in 2011!!! :onioncheer: :onioncheer: :omamori:
Happy New Year everyone!! :mon firecrack: :mon money: :gmon flowers: :mon love:
-
Jun was just there to give her fair warning although Aika seemed to be fast on attacking although using the smooth side really caught Eri off guard
Happy New Year
-
So now I understand why Jun wanted Lin and Aika there with her while she talked to Eri. I knew they wouldn't hurt her, no really :sweatdrop: if Eri was hurt, it would hurt Reina. I think Jun was trying to let the girls know that Eri was off limits in that way. Though maybe she didn't have to. Aika wouldn't have hurt her, holding the knife the wrong way showed that much. I'm glad that Jun confronted Eri like that, who knows what she would have done without that little bit of reassurance?
So what's next in the new year? GakiKame talku? Or SayuJun? :P
-
Omg! Another chapter! I was so jumpy when I realized you updated. :mon dance:
Ha! I knew they wouldn't hurt her. :D Jun and her minions are smarter than that. :roll: What's with Aika trying to be mean? :lol:
Jun gives out good advices too! And Lin doesn't actually have a dark side, right? :sweatdrop:
Yes! So Eri finally knows what she needs to do! :w00t: That is to do nothing. :O Well, then that means Reina will be the one coming to Eri first! :inlove:
Happy New Years, Everyone! :mon firecrack:
-
“Call me Junjun!” the yankii leader yelled, lifting up her hand without looking back.
“And call me Linlin too!” the younger panda yelled, looking back and waving. “And you can call her Aika!”
“Don’t you dare call me anything!” the third girl growled, glaring back.
:mon lmao:
Happy New Year!
-
waw new chapter again! XD, i love you sarangai! :cow:
oh I'm more loving Jun now :D
that was really a nice one to try, do the opposite thing ;)
kotoshi mo yoroshiku onegaishimasu sarangai :) :bow:
-
@mmsuki: lol how about a massive body slam towards teh right direction :lol: and love the picture. but you never know, i'm a pretty evil person... :twisted:
WHAT?! :OMG: noooooo... don't be an evil person.. :lol:
and YEY!!! back to back UPDATE!!! :tama-bigheart: the new year is in awfully good start.. :panic: :twothumbs
“Gladly!” Aika interrupted. She suddenly flipped up her girlfriend’s skirt and snatched away one of the knives secured around Linlin’s thigh with a leather band.
i want to see that scene act out.. :lol: XD :onionwhip:
“Well then, make sure you keep your girlfriend from reaching up your skirt again,” Junjun snapped.
uhmmmmmm... i don't think Junjun is in the position to give out such orders.. :roll: **sorry but i couldn't just pass up the inuendo** :lol:
“Or stay away forever,” Aika muttered under her breath, causing Linlin to squeeze her hand.
don't listen to her Eri.. :P
“Hey, I know you’re scared,” the panda murmured softly. “And I know you may find me hard to believe… but you just have to trust me on this. It’s going to do Reina some good. And if things go way off course, I’ll be there to set it back in track, alright?”
is this where the massive body slam comes into place?? :w00t: :lol:
wowwwwwww... i couldn't be more way off about my theories :wth.. XD i guess i should just stop hypothesizing and just go with the flow.. :grin:
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! :mon santa2: :mon santa3: :mon santa3: :JD: :cheers
-
Oh God! Aika is so dangerous and fast. She hate Eri to death but didn't do anything to harm her, she'll get over this whole thing soon. The kitten is so so so cute~, every time, everywhere, OMG! I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!! (*^V^*)
-
You've updated at the last day of the year!!!
Loving SarangAi forever :wub:
But...wow! Aika's so dangerous!
She almost cut the turtle's neck :OMG:
And it seems like Linlin, friendly but mysterious, don't know what she think or feel :catglare:
I love JunJun in this chap, so mature! :inlove:
wait for next chap and HAPPY NEW YEAR :mon firecrack: :usagiii::omamori:
-
Ah just as I thought, Jun and Co. wanted to just give Eri a pep talk so that Reina can have some time to herself and thatEri dosn't give up on her, well at least Jun did anyway, it seems that Aika is a little more angry at Eri than the others I suppose because Eri hut Reina, I suppose Jun knows that Eri kinda hurt Reina too but I think that Jun had a better understanding of what Eri's predicament is, perhaps once,she liked Reina as well?
-
Okaeri~
Thanks :D
Wow! Lovely, just like the previois chapters. Sorry, I'm not quoting any today, I'm kinda tipsy atm :D
-
@kurosawa87: oh yeah, Aika was scary this chapter :nervous
@rndmnwierd: lol you really got the order down, haven't you? It's GakiKame talk~ :lol:
@kano-chan: maybe Lin does have a dark side... you never know :twisted:
@XcuteX: loll happy new year~~ XD
@reikoshi: hai~ yoroshiku onegaishimasu~~ XD
@mmsuki: lol I think we all wanna see Aika lifting Lin's skirt up... revealing knives XD
@yukirei: yeah, cuz Aika is smart enough to know that killing Eri wouldn't do any good at the moment :lol:
@Shiawase_Honoo: yeh yeh~ I gave Aika a bit more a character.. she just loves Reina too much :P
@oddball: yeah, Jun definitely knows how to keep a straight head about situation... it's rare for her to lose it completely :D
@kRisZ: lol understood. It's 2011 :lol:
Thank you for all the comments minna! Akemashite Omedetoo~~~ :twothumbs
-
Happy 2011 SarangAi!!!!!!!!!!!! :w00t: :heart: (and everyone who read's this!! XD)
So Reina is all confused (and therefore being all yankii again :inlove: :lol:), I don't know what's going on with TakaGaki and Eri is finally known as Eri-chan :grin: Hehee :thumbup ^^
-
Confused Reina is cute. Just give her time, she'll come round :inlove:
I like how Jun is like in this story. She genuinely cares for Reina as a friend, and isn't quite so hot-headed to be out for Eri's blood without trying to understand ^^; Aika is cute in her own way, how she absolutely adores and worships Reina :lol:
Now that the gang gave some encouragement to Eri, I guess we just have to sit back and wait for the kitten to end her confusion and run back into Eri's arms :wub:
And......Happy 2011 SarangAi!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the two awesome stories from 2010 (one carrying over into 2011 XD), keep it up.
(As long as you don't stray into KameShige or GakiKame pairings you'll always remain as one of my favourite writers :P)
-
Wow...
I thought they were make some turtle soup XD!!!!
Happy New Year SarangAi ~ and veryone ^^ hope you success in this 2011 =D
Give us some love =3
-
God, Aika really scared me, She's not innocent at all, poor Eri XD
Well I love the way Jun is worried about Reina, so cute, I
just hope her advice can work. Giving to Reina her own space, looks the best to do.
Gambatte Eri-chan ><
Peace ~~ :peace:
Happy New Year :mon firecrack: :mon firecrack:~~~ I'll be supporting You also in this year :thumbsup
-
So well,
I will post my first jphip comment at this threat!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
I love Jun's charakter. The strong yankii at the outside and a lovely good friend at the inside! :wub:
Can't wait till she realizes, that she's in love with the bunny. JunSayu = :heart:
Aikas charakter is just... :shocked
And Eri....ahhhh why haven't you told the truth...Now Reina is gone!!! :cry: :mon whine:
:pleeease:
SarangAi! :bow:
You're fanfics are great... :farofflook:
-
Mittsi all "in yo' face" was adorable. I think i would've giggled and then gotten my head cut clean off. i'm actually kinda disappointed that Eri didn't get roughed up, but that's just me. :lol:
story moving along nicely. :thumbsup
-
I am SO SORRY for the intense lack of updates. I've just been so busy and completely occupied with the sudden return of studying... :bleed eyes:
Just to let you guys know I'm still alive, I got a REALLY REALLY short chapter :nervous
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 29
“So… that’s it?” Risa asked, raising an eyebrow. “You’re just going to give up like that? It’s over?”
“No, who said I was giving up?” Eri contradicted, gently punching the cushion on her lap. “I only said that I was going to stop trying to get in touch with her. I’m not going to visibly hang on to her anymore. Do you know what I mean?”
“Yeah…” the bean mumbled, blinking a couple times. She was slightly confused; her friend had been so desperate on contacting her girlfriend (well, maybe not girlfriend anymore) and now, she was just going to sit back and wait? Just what exactly had Reina’s friends told her? The turtle had even appeared right back her apartment without a scratch. At least that meant that things weren’t too bad… right?
Eri shifted her legs as she placed the cushion in front of her; she hugged her legs close to her chest and placed her chin on her knees. The two friends were sitting on the turtle’s couch, having a heart-to-heart chat that had almost become a daily ritual.
“It’s a long story,” Eri sighed. “But Junjun basically just said that Reina is more confused than angry, and that I should give her time to figure it out for herself. I’m not helping her by clinging on to her.”
“I guess that’s true too…” Risa said. “Well, I hope everything turns out okay in the end.”
“Me too…” Eri mumbled, biting her lips. Finally, she took a deep breath and exhaled before smiling at her friend. “So, what’s going on at your end? Did you eat with Sensei again today?”
“She brought me a can of soda,” the bean confessed shyly, pulling the cushion that Eri had previously let go to her chest. “And we talked about you a little.”
Eri frowned. “What did you say?”
“I just said you were having problems with a friend,” Risa said, trying to sound nonchalant. She didn’t want to come off as a blabbermouth; after all, Eri didn’t know how hard it was for the bean to keep her mouth shut when her teacher was being so soft and kind…
“Fair enough,” the turtle sighed. “Anything else? Come on, give me some details!”
“I… She, well… just comforted me a bit…” Risa mumbled, blushing. “And, uh, she was concerned for you and me… And… well…” She started to remember Ai’s presence, her hands stroking her cheek, her breathing so clear in her ears, her scent…
“Risa, your face is redder than an apple right now,” Eri smirked, breaking her friend out of her trance.
“Is not!” the bean yelled, clamping her face between her hands.
“You obviously like her!” Eri laughed. “It’s not just respect or anything; you really like Takahashi-sensei, as a person!”
“… Yeah, I do!” Risa shouted, confessing. “Is there something wrong with that? I love her, okay? Happy?”
“Yeah, kind of,” Eri giggled. “I think you’re in a confessing mood today. Tell me more, while you’re at it.”
Risa wanted to straight-out reject that idea but Eri was actually right; her own feelings were just so overwhelming whenever she thought of the teacher that she felt as though she just had to spill everything out. Besides, this was Eri, her best friend. She told her everything anyway.
“I… I’m starting to fall in love with her more and more every single day,” the bean whispered, getting embarrassed. “Sometimes, I feel like I just want to tell her…”
“Then you should!” Eri exclaimed. “Seize the chance, Risa-chan!”
“I can’t!” the bean yelled back. “I’m just another student to her. She’s my teacher and she’s six years older than me. It’s not… it’s not possible.”
“If you think it’s impossible, than it really is impossible!” Eri scolded. “So don’t think that way! You have to believe in yourself and trust your feelings for her. Besides, as far as I can tell, Sensei doesn’t see you as just a student either.”
“… Really?” Risa asked, her eyes widening. Sensei… sees me differently?
“Yeah,” Eri smiled. “Remember that day when we all ate lunch together? She looks at you with different eyes than when she looks at me. I’m telling you, Risa-chan, this is a chance! Confess your feelings and let her know. And don’t let anything get in the way! Isn’t that what you want?”
… Kameha is right, Risa thought. I don’t care if she’s my teacher or if she’s six years older than me… I’ve never felt this way towards another person before; if I let these emotions go, I know I’ll regret it later.
Determinedly, Risa dropped the cushion and straightened her back. “I’ll do it,” she proclaimed. “I’ll find a chance and confess to her. I… I don’t know what will happen but there’s only one way to find out.”
“That’s my Gaki-san!” Eri grinned. “Let’s do our best together, nee?”
“I pray for you, you pray for me,” Risa chuckled. I’ll tell her. I’ll tell her that I love her and that I want to be with her. Because there is no one else I’d rather think about.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Told you it was short :sweatdrop:
I promise the next chapter will be WAY longer. It'll be a ShigeJun chapter :D
Again, sorry for the lack of updates! I'll try to get the next chapter out as fast as I can! :)
-
Kame helps Risa by convincing that maybe she should tell Ai that she has fallen in love with her :) Go For it!
-
I was so happy to see an update, that I literally yelled out loud. I was just thinking I should start bumping the thread to make sure you were still there. XD
She didn’t want to come off as a blabbermouth
Risa, blabbermouth? *Le gasp* No~ Anyone but her. :lol:
“I’ll do it,” she proclaimed. “I’ll find a chance and confess to her.
Oh man! I can so imagine a billion different scenarios. How long are you planning to make this story?
Hmm, if you want it to be shorter, you could skip Ai rejecting Risa and focus on them trying to hide their relationship. If it's going to be a bit longer, Risa might get turned down, but then Ai will eventually realize she can't be apart and THEN you could focus on them trying to hide their relationship.
But then again, Risa could confess, be rejected and then keep pushing and declaring her love until Ai finally quits being stubborn and accepts.
Or Risa could confess, be rejected, start missing school, doing badly in class and otherwise being heartbroken until Ai finally quits being stubborn and accepts.
Or Risa could confess and be rejected because Ai really DOESN'T have those feelings for her.
Or maybe, Risa could..... um, I think I should stop before my head explodes. :sweatdrop:
-
Someone was being a jerk, but I got happier when I noticed you updated! :twothumbs
Finally, she decides to confess! :w00t: Now that Kame mentioned, that actually supports the idea that Ai-chan sees Risa differently than other students. :inlove:
I'll be looking forward to ShigeJun! :cow:
-
I actually see heartbreak on the horizon for Risa. Just because I suspect you're evil that way. :lol: but it's alll gooood.
good luck with school.
-
From the way Aichan keeps alluding to how she was a "bad person", her reaction to reading that note and scolding herself for becoming too involved, regardless of what her true feelings are I feel a heartbreak around the corner for Risa, even if it's just for now. Part of it could be Aichan feeling she shouldn't get involved with a student as a teacher, but I feel whatever happened in her past is also stopping her from admitting to her growing feelings. Now it would be really interesting if Reina somehow knew Aichan or had some kind of connection to Aichan's past or something :lol: XD (just a random thought)
-
At least Jun's talk with Eri seems to of calmend her down a bit, she seems to be alot more relaxed about the whole situation now, I suppose Jun will have to face Reina about this at some point aswell?
“She brought me a can of soda,” the bean confessed shyly, pulling the cushion that Eri had previously let go to her chest.
There's just something very sweet and innocent in the way that Gaki is admitting to Eri that someone bought her a soda, almost as if it was a confession of love :wub:
It seems as though Gaki has manged to accept that she has feelings for Ai but I have a nasty suspicition that Ai will break Gaki's heart because Ai will be all noble about her past and will not let Gaki get involved in it......
-
@mmsuki: lol I think we all wanna see Aika lifting Lin's skirt up... revealing knives XD
that is not the only thing she'll be revealing.. :lol:
an update is an update.. :) :pen_whirl:
hmmmmmm.. i wonder if Gakisan's confession will be a good or a bad thing?! :dunno: i'm leaning more towards the latter.. :roll:
can't wait for Reina's reaction since Eri has already decided to give her some space.. :twisted:
hoorah!! JunSayu!!
(http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq80/stephanylee/JunSayuReina/e430b384599de07cfcf96ca55effec3e_view.jpg)
^ reminds me of a scene in one of the chapters in your fic :lol:
-
i'm happy that you updated :)
i think the story is interesting.
i hope reina will talk to eri soon about their problem.
and why do i get the feeling that gaki is going to get rejected?
-
:w00t:! An update :) I wonder where and when Risa's gonna comfess to Takahashi-sensei :D
-
@kurosawa87: cheer for her! XD
@rndmnwierd: lol i was THIS close to needing the bump because I was starting to forget where I left the story... :nervous but i'm back on track now! :D and those are some good predictions... hmmm 8)
@kano-chan: yay! glad to make your day a little better :lol:
@gracula: lol i AM quite evil, huh? :twisted:
@aussie: good analysis! you're on the right track :D
@oddball: lol I'm glad i was able to get the right mood across :P and i'm glad you felt that way! XD
@mmsuki: LOLOL except sayu was a little less willing back then... XD :lol:
@eruchan: NEW PERSON :otomerika: :yossi: :cow: lol glad you like the story! XD
@Fushigidane: I wonder too.... :nervous :lol:
I'm so glad that such a short chapter was able to dig up so many comments... thank you! :D
I'm trying to write the next chapter right now, but it's definitely taking a while. I'm trying to shorten it a bit so I'll still have fingers after I'm done but we'll see :lol:
Just to answer rndie a bit more: I honestly don't know how long this story will be but it's not going to be as long as Kokoro no Uta. I plan to make it detailed as possible and try to follow my original plot line but not overdo it as much. And I also do plan to have another poll for my next story when Chigatte mo Iin da Yo! nears its end. :D
-
sarangai!
hey, well, i just wanted to let you know... i'm new here, but before i even signed up for jphip, i was stalking this fic for awhile... i was one of your lurkers :wahaha:
but wow. im lovin the gender bender thing in this story :on gay: junjun's yankii crew is so badass. especially aika. linlin's just lovable~
i shall be waiting for your next tanakame update :cow:
...i'm kinda sensing a rejection from takahashi sensei for some reason...
ehh. i'll just wait ^^ can't wait till gaki-san confesses :wub:
-
You know, I think the next poll, you should leave out Takagaki and Tanakame, since you've already done two stories with them as a focus. You know we'll just keep choosing them if you don't. :lol:
EDIT: If we're gonna start voting now :roll: I might as well ship some Tanagaki. I would absolutely love to see you tackle that one. *sighs dreamily*
-
I chuck in my vote for ReinAi :grin:
-
I chuck in my vote for ReinAi :grin:
I agree XD
Ohhh SarangAi is a long time since my last comment in your fic....since Kokoro no uta [gomenasai u.u] , but always i come here and read you history and you know i love this, you are great
really really great *.*
-
Oh, since we're talking about next poll... If you plan to leave TakaGaki and TanaKame out.. :cry: Can we have a little Mikitty??? :inlove: :inlove:
-
Well, I'm finally up to date with this fic. FINALLY. :heart:
Even if you think you're not updating that quickly, believe me, sarangai, you're doing a great job with updating! :twothumbs
Hope you don't get swamped with stuff though, since your chapters are relatively short anyway and I prefer to have a longer read with each update :nervous
A LOT has happened in this story since I last commented... and I won't go through things chapter by chapter 'coz I'll never get this comment done if that were the case. Besides, you have such great readers who show their support, so I don't necessarily feel too bad if I don't comment all that much. XD Since overseas holidays are over though, I'll make an effort to respond to every chapter you throw our way. :thumbsup
The story is moving along very well; I always have to admire your ability to keep up the pace, to always keep things moving. I really enjoy the dialogue you have between and amongst your characters too, and (biased as always), I LOOOOVE the TakaGaki. :wub: :wub: :wub:
I'll give my thoughts on the pairings...
TanaKame:
I was kind of on the fence with them as I'd mentioned last time; they were definitely not as exciting to me as TakaGaki or JunSayu, but I'm starting to appreciate them a lot more! :love:
ESPECIALLY after Reina found out. Gosh, poor Eri when that happened... :fainted:
But I could definitely understand the feelings of both parties; Eri - fearful, uncertain. She'd told a lie and allowed it to grow and fester... and now has to face the consequences. I wonder what kind of reaction Reina would have had if Eri had actually confessed herself and not let the kitten find out the hard way >___<
And fair enough reaction from Reina too. She was feeling almost betrayed in a way... now, frustrated, confused. I'm sure deep down though, it's okay... because she loves Eri on a level that will allow her open-minded self to see beyond everything, to accept the turtle. I honestly believe that; Reina's just kind of in denial right now, and needs advice and guidance and a push in the right direction. Which is why I really love Jun in this story. :wub:
TakaGaki:
My FAVOURITE, as always. :wriggly:
I just don't think I can ever dislike these two, whoever they are and whatever they do. As long as they're together, it just feels RIGHT. Though of course, the fact that we're looking at a teacher-student relationship here is rather... troubling. XD
Eri's part in this was great too. Like when they were having lunch together and Eri tried to steal all of Ai's attention to make Risa jealous and push her to do something :lol:
Sooooo adorable. :nya:
The chapter where Risa went out with here Takahashi-sensei to shop for things; I loved this chapter! :wub:
Having to sleep over with her sensei and everything; the getting cut and having your teacher suck on your finger weirded me out just a tad (I kept thinking, perv Takahashi!), but the rest of the chapter was uber cute and I was cheering them every step of the way. <333
It was also funny to see the conflicted internal monolgues that Risa had, trying to deny her feelings... to the now readily able to confess bean. With Ai's rather somber past, I'm not sure what exactly will happen; I have a feeling Ai will not easily accept Risa, even if the older girl feels for the bean (which I'm guessing is the case xD - even Eri thinks so!). I'm excited to see where this relationship is headed. Deep down I know it's wrong, but we're talking TAKAGAKI here. I'm going to forget societal standards and all that crap, just for them! :P
JunSayu:
These two are probably the most interesting characters. I have to say, I'm in love with this kind of Jun. :luvluv1: She's very attractive; similar to the way a bad boy who is really a softie on the inside is. She's casually cool, but feisty and aggressive if she has to be, somebody who commands a lot of obedience with just her presence. Yep, very attractive :yep:
Not to mention, how playful she is with Sayu. XD
The deal they had and the challenge they took on - what was Sayu thinking, really? But I guess she just really wanted Jun off her back.
And of course, Jun had to go to her rescue when those girls tried to bother her... :inlove:
I'm sure Sayu will open up to Jun in time, and Jun will see her as more than just a play thing. ^___________^
I'm really looking forward to find out what'll happen between these two as well.
Okay... that should be it for now. Good luck with writing. And oh - I agree, don't put TakaGaki or TanaKame in the next poll of yours. I'm so voting KameShige again, though looking at how that turned out last time... >_____<
Looks like it might be ReinAi, or GakiKame.... :(
Thanks for your consistent updates, SarangAi! I've enjoyed them all a lot!
Waiting patiently for the next update~! :heart:
-
You finally got me out of the shadows, talking about next story and making a poll to chose the couples...
SO! Here I am finally registering on JPH!P even though I almost only read to your stories but it's worth it :lol: I have been following your threads since day 1.. yeah since Kokoro no uta's first chapter and have stayed hidden all this time, that's just how shy I am really :nervous
Now I have only one thingto say. SarangAi... really... I LOVE YOUR STORIES!! I check your thread every morning in case there's an update yet lol
PS: as for the poll I'm with you Beecubbed, I want some KameShige too :thumbsup
-
@taylortot: NEW PERSON :otomerika: :yossi: :cow: I'm glad you like the story! I took a risk with the gender bender thing but I'm glad the reaction is good XD
@rndmnwierd: I'm thinking of the same thing actually. Those two are my favorite couples but I want to try something different too :D
@aussie: show the love XD
@gab98: yeah yeah yeah, where were you??? well, at least you're here now, thanks for the comment! XD
@kano-chan: I don't know much about the MM before Aichan's leadership so it's really hard for me to write about the OGs... :nervous But hey, if you're fancying ShigeJun enough because of this fic (not sure if you are though), maybe you might find yourself liking other pairings too? :D
@Beecubed: Girl, your comment is LONG ENOUGH and I love reading it. Glad you're liking the fic so far! And hey, without TakaGaki and TanaKame, you never know what might happen with the poll... :lol:
@Tchips: NEW PERSON :otomerika: :yossi: :cow: It took months but I guess you finally came out of the shadows, huh? Well i'm really glad tha tyou love my stories! Thank you~~ XD
I guess talks about polls make people de-lurk more? :twothumbs
I'm definitely thinking about excluding the TakaGaki and TanaKame pairing for the next poll. As much as I love writing about them, I think I want to challenge myself to something new :)
I don't know when this fic is gonna end but if you guys wanna start voting, I have a different poll to present to you, as shown:
which genre should I write about next? I have a lot of ideas floating around but I don't know which one to grab so I want you guys to choose! You can only vote for one, so choose wisely! :D
I personally like the idea of fantasy but I don't know what you guys like so... VOTE :lol:
Okay, so here's the long chapter that I promised! XD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 30
“Don’t tell me you don’t even know janken,” Junjun groaned, rolling her eyes. “Come on, you can’t be that rich.”
“Don’t be stupid, I know what janken is,” Sayumi scoffed. “It’s just that… it’s a bit simple to make it our next challenge, isn’t it?”
“Well, it seemed like the last game was a little too difficult for you, so I went with something easier so you actually have a chance,” Junjun smirked, eliciting small giggles from Aika.
Sayumi scowled deeply, clenching her teeth. This yankii was making fun of her again! Part of her wanted to argue for a more complex challenge, just for the sake of her pride, but she knew deep inside that she would have no chance against Junjun in a physical game, even something as simple as running. The bunny knew her limits.
Besides, Sayumi had no intention of embarrassing herself in front of so many people, even if they were all her enemies as far as she knew. She and Junjun were in an empty lot, almost a junkyard, and it was already about nine o’clock. Unlike the last challenge, the yankii leader had brought the bunny to her gang’s headquarters this time, where the rest of her underlings were hanging out. Other than the usual two underclassmen that was flanking the tall panda, there were about five other girls now, standing around and watching. There was one short-haired girl wearing overalls with lots of necklaces and high heels; a taller girl with longer curly hair was standing by her side. A couple feet away from them stood another pair of girls, one with a black ponytail and the other with long blond hair. They were smiling and whispering something in each other’s ears. There was a shorter girl, not far from them, with longer black hair. She seemed to be the only one without a “partner” but she still seemed perfectly comfortable. They all had a very confident aura, radiating from them like gleaming diamonds. Sayumi guessed she should have figured that they would all be similar characters to Junjun to be in her gang.
“The rules are simple,” Linlin announced. “Best two out of three wins. If Shige-san is victorious, Jun-senpai and all of us will leave her alone forever. But if Jun-senpai wins, then Shige-san will do whatever she is asked to do for the rest of the night.”
“Wait, rest of the night?” Sayumi asked, raising an eyebrow. “I thought it would be for the whole day tomorrow.”
“You want to be my servant for a longer period of time, and at school, in front of everybody?” Junjun smirked. “That’s fine with me.”
“No! Tonight is fine,” the bunny said quickly. “I won’t be your servant this time anyway.”
“I’m glad you’re staying optimistic, Usa-chan,” the panda grinned. “Okay, let’s get started. All my girls are watching both of us. There is absolutely no way to cheat in this game. You ready?”
Sayumi nodded. The two black-haired girls walked up to each other, under the single streetlamp. Before, it was too dark to see clearly but the bunny could see the yankii better now. Her hair was the usual long-straight style with cornroses on one side. She was wearing a simple hoodie with sweatpants and sneakers. Sayumi definitely felt out of place, as she was surrounded by a bunch of delinquent girls wearing dark clothes and fancy jewelry. She was wearing a pink knit shirt with a white miniskirt and beige-colored boots. Her entire being was completely mismatched with the location and the atmosphere.
The two challengers put their fist out and let their knuckles touch. Junjun smiled with confidence and winked at the cute bunny in front of her. Sayumi ignored her.
“Here we go!” Aika exclaimed, standing right in front of where the two fists met with her girlfriend right beside her. The other yankii girls closed in on the game field, cheering on their leader. “Ready? Set…”
“Saishobu!” the two black-haired girls yelled. “Jankenpyon!”
The surrounding girls cheered as they examined their leader’s paper against the bunny’s rock. Sayumi pouted but she calmed herself down. She still had more chances.
“Continue!” Aika exclaimed, allowing the two challengers to put their fists together again. “Ready… and!”
“Saishobu! Jankenpyon!”
“Yatta!”
A wave of groans sounded as Junjun just smiled and put down her scissor as Sayumi held her rock high.
“I guess this is it, then, Usa-chan,” the tall panda said. “This final round will determine all.”
“I definitely won’t lose!” Sayumi yelled, holding out her fist.
“Ready?” Aika said. “Set…”
“Saishobu! Jankenpyon!”
“Jun-senpai sugoii!”
A roar of laughs and cheers arose from the girls as they skipped and clapped their hands. Sayumi bit down on her bottom lip as she glared at the ground. She knew she should’ve put out a paper.
“I guess I win again, Usa-chan,” Junjun grinned. She walked towards the bunny and put her arm around Sayumi’s shoulder. “So tonight, you’ll have to do whatever I say.”
“You… you better not be thinking of…” Sayumi mumbled, starting to blush.
“Thinking of… what?”
“You know… that… I’m not going to do that with you!”
“Usa-chan, I can’t believe you were thinking such dirty thoughts!” Junjun gasped sarcastically as her underlings giggled. “You know, I thought you were better than that.”
Sayumi felt her cheeks burning up. This girl was playing with her again! She knew she shouldn’t have been so nice back in the locker room.
“We just want you to hang out with us tonight, Shige-san,” Aika explained, smiling. “We occasionally all go out and do something fun together.”
“I think we’re going to a karaoke bar tonight,” Linlin said.
“What?” Sayumi shrilled, her face turning a little pale. “Um, no… I-I can’t sing.”
“You don’t have to sing if you don’t want to, all you have to do is just be there with us,” the short-haired girl wearing overalls said, stepping out. “I’m Shimizu Saki, by the way. Nice to meet you, Shige-san.”

“And I’m her girlfriend, Yajima Maimi,” the taller girl with long black hair chimed in, putting her arms around Saki and pecking her cheek. “Yoroshiku!”
(http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h359/SarangAi/maimi-1.jpg)
“Ah… um… hai…” Sayumi mumbled, looking at her own feet again. She was never good at meeting new people. Everybody who knew her was aware of how antisocial she was.
“My turn!” the pretty girl with a black ponytail exclaimed, jumping up. “I’m Suzuki Airi. And this is my girlfriend Natsuyaki Miyabi.”
“Yoroshiku~” the blond girl greeted, smiling.
(http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h359/SarangAi/miyaxairi.png)
“I’m Okai Chisato,” the last girl said in a husky voice. “I’m the youngest, single, and loving it!”
(http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h359/SarangAi/chisato.jpg)
“Liar,” Airi scoffed. “We all know you still like Maimai, we all know.”
“No, I’m definitely over her this time,” Chisato said determinedly. “She’s just so… you know! We always end up fighting because she’s so… yeah.”
“I totally understand,” Airi said sarcastically rolling her eyes.
“She was cute, though,” Miyabi said. “You’re going to regret it later.”
“Nah, not this time,” Chisato grinned.
“That’s what you said last time,” Maimi smirked. “I mean, if you don’t want her, than you don’t mind if I—”
“Shut up, you,” Saki interrupted, slapping the tall girl’s arm, frowning. “I don’t care even if it’s just a joke, don’t say things like that when I’m right here.”
“Ouch, that hurts,” Maimi grinned.
“It was your fault that time, Maimi-chan,” Aika smiled. “You know how Saki gets.”
“What do you mean how I get?” Saki yelled. “What are you—”
“Okay, stop!” Junjun ordered, bringing silence to the group immediately. “If we stay here any longer, we’ll never get to the karaoke bar. Now let’s leave.”
All the other girls quickly agreed and started to leave the lot. Junjun walked over to the frozen Sayu and took her hand. For some reason, the bunny couldn’t find the strength to break free. It wasn’t such an unpleasant feeling anyway.
“Stay close to me,” the panda whispered in her ear. “They’re all good kids, but you have to watch out for Maimi, especially.”
“Why?” Sayumi whispered back. “She seems to be the most like you.”
“That’s why I’m saying you gotta watch out,” Junjun grinned.
The group of girls eventually reached the noisy streets of Tokyo lit by streetlamps and store lights. Airi and Miyabi were in the front, holding hands and chatting with each other. Sayumi thought that they looked pretty cute together. Aika, Linlin, and Chisato were right behind them, playing around with a camera. Sayumi wondered what kind of relationship Chisato and this Maimai girl had, but they seemed to be going on and off by the looks of it. Maimi was smiling and talking while Saki stayed silent and grumpy. But she still kept her arm linked tightly with her tall girlfriend’s indicating to the bunny that they actually did really like each other.
In a couple minutes, the gang finally reached the karaoke bar. Linlin and Aika talked to the lady at the counter, who led them into one of the biggest rooms. There was a U-shaped sofa with a table in the middle with tambourines and set of microphones. Junjun led Sayumi in first to sit in the middle. Aika and Lin quickly took their seats next to Sayumi; they probably figured it was better for the bunny to sit next to someone she knew already. Saki and Maimi slid into the seat next to Junjun while Airi and Miyabi slid in with them. Chisato ordered some food from the counter lady before closing the door and taking her seat next to Linlin.
“So who’s first?” Junjun said. “Let’s start off with something lively!”
“I’ll go!” Airi volunteered, standing up. She grabbed the song listings and quickly punched in the numbers with the remote control. An energetic rock music started to flow out of the speakers as Airi grabbed one of the microphones. Sayumi read the English title of the song.
One Way Ikooru My Way? The bunny thought. She had never heard this song before. It was no surprise, really, since she rarely listened to music.
As Airi started to sing, Linlin grabbed the tambourines and handed them to Aika and Chisato. The atmosphere changed quickly as excitement and the energy level rose up in the room. Saki’s smile returned as she listened to the music and flipped through the karaoke book. Maimi cheered while paying equal attention to her lover. The food arrived in the middle of the song so Chisato and Aika got up to get the food and drinks. By the second chorus, Miyabi was also up and singing with Airi.
As Sayumi watched everybody enjoying themselves, she found herself pleasantly surprised. All these girls were yankiis in a delinquent gang yet they were still having fun just like regular teenagers. They all seemed pretty friendly too. True, who knew what they could actually do behind the scenes. She never knew Junjun could jump from the second floor and swing down by a tree and still be safe.
That triggered another memory from the bunny. She quickly looked at the panda next to her, who was drinking some soda out of a glass. When she put down the cup, Sayumi could see that the bunny band-aid that she had used earlier was still on Junjun’s hand. It wasn’t such a strong band-aid; how did it even stay on for so long?
The first song ended with multiple cheers and applause. The karaoke machine blared out a fanfare, presenting the score of 95. Saki got up and claimed the microphone as the next song started to flow out. She had picked a calmer, and a cuter song.
Kimi ga Iru Dake de? Sayumi thought. She was even starting to feel pathetic about not knowing any of these songs.
Aika and Linlin clapped with the tambourines to the rhythm. Airi and Miyabi took a drink and had some of the French fries before turning their attention to the front again. Junjun nodded along with a smile. Maimi seemed completely mesmerized by the sight of her girlfriend singing. Saki was only looking at one person as well.
What an odd relationship… Sayumi thought. It almost seems like a love-hate thing but I guess Saki understands Maimi’s character more than anyone to get over her anger as quickly as she can…
The ballad song soon ended as Chisato jumped up from her seat. A heavy rock song started to play out as Airi gasped.
“That’s not fair, I was going to sing that next!” she yelled. “And that’s my theme song!”
“Just because you have the same name as the actual singer, doesn’t mean the song is yours,” Chisato shot back, sticking out her tongue.
Airi pouted and leaned by into the sofa as Miyabi just laughed and tried to cheer her girlfriend up. Sayumi read the title of the song again and found herself completely unknowledgeable once more.
Aa! Koi… she thought. There must be a hundred songs out there about koi yet I probably don’t know any of them.
Chisato sang with energy and confidence, eliciting a lot of cheers and tambourine sounds. Sayumi found that for such a tiny girl, she was actually a really good singer.
Next, Maimi jumped up from her seat and took the microphone. A fast paced guitar sound started to play out as Maimi even started to take poses.
“Maimi is a very good dancer,” Junjun explained to the bunny, “and so is Saki.”
Natsu DOKI Lipstick… Sayumi thought to herself. I shouldn’t even expect to know a song anymore.
Maimi danced charismatically as she sang alone. It was quite amazing how she could still keep her voice nice and even while she was dancing so vigorously. Her smoldering eyes were only staring at one person and that person was turning redder by the second. Everybody in the room had to admit that Maimi was pretty hot.
After the steamy performance, Aika and Linlin jumped up and went right into a cute and silly routine. Junjun started to laugh, recognizing the song. Linlin did a little bit of talking in the beginning before Aika started to sing.
“Osaka Umainen?” Junjun giggled. “Really?”
“Come on, senpai, join us!” Aika yelled while Linlin was singing. “It’s our theme, isn’t it?”
Wordlessly, Junjun grabbed the microphone that was still left on the table and started to sing. Sayumi thought that such a quirky song didn’t really suit Junjun so much. But none of the other girls seemed to think so. They didn’t seem very surprised when Junjun got up and started to do the silly routine with her two kouhais.
“You seem shocked,” Saki yelled over the music. “You probably thought that Jun-senpai wouldn’t do things like singing in front of everyone or something, huh?”
Sayumi nodded wordlessly, still reluctant to speak to a person she just met.
“Jun-senpai is really cool,” Chisato chimed in. “And I mean that appearance-wise and personality-wise. She’s a very charismatic leader and we all respect her. But it’s easy to get close to her too. She’s very honest about herself and she’s not afraid to have fun like this. That’s what I like about her.”
“Me too,” Maimi agreed. “But she was a little frantic a couple days ago, wasn’t she? She made Miya and Airi go with her to practically every single drug store for band-aids.”
“It was terrible,” Airi joined in, realizing the conversation pertained to her. “She kept on saying it can’t be any type of band-aid and made us walk around everywhere.”
“And in the end, she said she had no choice and just picked the little bunny ones,” Miyabi said. “The regular ones were right there; it was kind of weird that she chose bunny ones. That’s not like her.”
As the girls quickly turned their attention back to the front, Sayumi thought to herself. So Junjun had gone looking for bunny band-aids... which meant that the one on her hand right now was a new one that was the same brand… Sayumi blushed a little. What did this even mean?”
“It was you, wasn’t it?” Saki whispered, causing the bunny to turn her head. “You gave her that band-aid in the first place, right?”
“… Un…” Sayumi answered.
“… You’re special to her,” Saki whispered, smiling. “I can tell.”
Before Sayumi could ask the short-haired girl what she meant, the song ended and Aika and Linlin sat back down.
“The next one is mine too,” Junjun said as the guitar instrumental sounded again. She went right into the song as Sayumi started to slowly recognize it.
Only You! She thought. Mama used to listen to this song sometimes… I guess this is a remake?
Suddenly, Junjun dashed forward and pulled Sayumi up, forcing her to stumble around the table and come up to the front. Junjun handed a microphone to the bunny, who kept on shaking her head.
“I can’t sing!” she yelled.
Junjun just kept on singing without a care in the world. Near the end of her solo, she turned to Sayumi and leaned in closer with a consistent gaze, singing “I want you… I want you…” until the bunny looked away and started to let out her voice instead.
As the girl who had been silent started to sing, all the other yankii girls in the room started to cheer and dance along, little by little. Something moved inside the bunny, some sensation that she had never felt before. It was… excitement? She had never felt so confident and energetic before. As they reached the chorus, Junjun turned to her and pointed at her with a grin.
“Only You!”
A smile started to slowly spread across Sayumi’s lips. She started to mimic Junjun’s actions, raising her arms up and down, pointing while singing. Beads of sweat trickled down her back but she didn’t care; she was experiencing such an adrenaline rush, she wasn’t about to let go.
Junjun started to sing a long solo to herself again as Sayumi danced and bobbed along. She knew all the girls were watching her but surprisingly, she didn’t feel embarrassed. She didn’t care if she looked good or bad; all she cared about was keeping this energy inside of her at a high level. She didn’t care whether she sounded bad or not; Junjun didn’t seem to mind her voice one bit.
“Futari wo tsutsun de, COME ON!”
“Under the moonlight!”
She could even do a call-and-respond! She looked at everybody in the room who met eyes with her. Maimi and Saki were busy making out in the darkness but she didn’t care. She was having the time of her life.
Junjun sang the chorus, staring right at her with a smile. Sayumi wasn’t afraid to sing to her this time around either.
“Only, only, only, only, only!”
The song finally came to its close, eliciting multiple cheers and whistling. Sayumi wiped the sweat off her forehead and laughed, still finding it hard to believe she actually did that. Maimi and Saki were nowhere to be seen now but Aika and Linlin were shaking their tambourines like crazy. Chisato was fist-pumping while Airi and Miyabi clapped and cheered.
“Shige-san, that was amazing!” Miyabi commented.
“I didn’t know you could sing like that,” Aika exclaimed.
“I think that side of you is better than the quiet side,” Linlin grinned.
“She topped you on that one, Jun-senpai,” Chisato laughed.
“Definitely agreed,” Airi giggled.
“Gee, thanks guys,” Junjun said sarcastically, rolling her eyes, grinning. “You guys can continue to sing. I’m going to get some fresh air, okay?”
As the panda left the room, Miyabi got up and grabbed the microphone. Sayumi thought about sitting down for moment before deciding the latter. She met eyes with Linlin for a second, who smiled and gave her a nod, before walking out of the room.
Sayumi ran out to the front counter, looking around.
“If you’re looking for your friend,” the worker said, “I saw her go up to the roof.”
“Oh… um… thank you…” Sayumi mumbled.
She quickly found the stairway and skipped up the steps as quickly as she could. She opened the door at the top floor. The cool breeze hit her face and sent her back to dance in the gentle wind. Ahead, she saw a tall black-haired girl turning around. There was something in her hand that she raised to her mouth for a moment and dropped back down. Gasping, Sayumi marched up to the yankii leader swiftly.
“Are you smoking?” she asked, horrified.
“Um… yeah?” Junjun answered, raising an eyebrow. “It’s not a big deal, Usa-chan.”
“Yes, it is!” the bunny yelled. “Give me that! OW!”
Sayumi snatched the cigarette from the panda’s hand but immediately dropped it when her skin felt like it had been burned. She had obviously grabbed it by the wrong end. But she ignored her pain and quickly stepped on the cigarette to grind it on the concrete.
“Hey, you have to be careful!” Junjun yelled, taking Sayumi’s hand and observing her fingers. “You don’t seem that badly burned, thank goodness…”
The panda started to blow on the bunny’s fingers gently. The cool breath on her hand felt good as Sayumi blushed a little. She was blushing a lot today, wasn’t she?
“Th-thanks…” Sayumi mumbled, dropping her hands.
“Your welcome,” Junjun smiled. “But be careful next time, okay?”
“No, not my finger,” Sayumi said, shaking her head. “I’m saying… just thanks… for letting me hang out here today.”
“… Wow, didn’t see that one coming,” Junjun laughed. “So you enjoyed yourself?”
“Unexpectedly, yes,” the bunny answered. “I mean, all your friends were actually quite nice. It was… fun.”
Sayumi looked up and smiled a little. The panda spaced out for a moment, as she was caught with her guard down from the bunny’s cute expression. She blinked a couple times before snapping out of it and clearing her throat.
“Well, I’m glad you had fun,” Junjun grinned. She walked to the edge of the rails to look across into the city. It was a pretty good view, since she was about three stories up. Sayumi came over and also stood next to her.
“But don’t you dare ever smoke again,” Sayumi scolded. “It’s disgusting and really dangerous!”
“You sound like my mom,” Junjun chuckled. “She used to say the same thing all the time.”
“Used to?” the bunny asked.
“We don’t live together anymore,” the panda explained. “She’s back home in Hunan. I came over to Japan alone to attend high school here because I was able to get a scholarship.”
“So… you live alone?”
“Yeah. But I rarely sleep at my own place, I’m usually at Aika’s or Linlin’s or Reina’s… oh, that’s another one of my friends, by the way. She used to be the leader of the gang before I took over.”
“What about the rest of your family?”
“You’re really curious today, Usa-chan,” Junjun said, raising an eyebrow. “Since when do you want to know so much about me?”
“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”
“… I don’t have any other siblings,” the panda continued, cocking her head while giving a small smile. “My father passed away when I was young by a car crash. So you see, it’s a good thing I got a scholarship from the school that pays for my expenses or my mom would’ve had it hard.”
“What a good daughter you are,” Sayumi commented. She didn’t know Junjun could actually have this mature kind of side to her. But seeing as she was a much respected leader, she must’ve had some good points.
“Hardly,” the yankii laughed dryly. “Even back in China, I always got into fights and still smoked. I used to do worse things but I’ll spare you the details. But I guess I changed a little when I came to Japan. I got a little more easy-going. But I still can’t stop the little things. I don’t know, I guess since mom’s not watching, I just thought I could keep smoking. Pretty unfair of me, huh?”
“Very,” Sayumi agreed immediately. “That’s really terrible of you.”
“You know, your poison tongue is seriously going to hurt someone one day,” Junjun said, grinning.
“No, it won’t,” the bunny disagreed. She gazed down at the rest of the city lights. “No one listens to me anyway. I never talk in school. Mama and Papa are always busy so we rarely talk to each other. All the maids just give me what I want and walk away. No one cares enough to keep the conversation going. So I don’t talk.”
“No wonder you have no friends,” Junjun sighed. “You’re so antisocial. Whenever you open your mouth, only bad things come out.”
“And you say I’m going to hurt someone,” Sayumi said, rolling her eyes.
“Touché,” the yankii leader laughed. “Well, you can say whatever you want to me. I’ll be listening to you.”
Sayumi turned to look at the girl next to her, who was smiling back at her. Her expressions always seemed to taunt her before but now, it was gentle as ever. The bunny couldn’t help but smile back a little.
Then, Junjun’s expression changed. Something inside of her was different… Sayumi was different. There was such a difference from when she was frowning to when she was smiling…
Unconsciously, the panda swooped forward and met the bunny’s lips with her own. She gently moved against the soft skin, unable to stop her actions. She wanted to kiss her. She wanted to kiss her so much, she didn’t care much for the consequences. But why…?
After a couple seconds, Junjun slowly backed away and opened her eyes. Sayumi’s eyes were wide in shock. The bunny didn’t comprehend what she was feeling at the moment either. Junjun had kissed her before but this time, it was different. It was much slower, softer, sweeter…
But unfortunately, her first reaction was to slap Junjun across her face. The panda coughed a couple times from the shock and rubbed her cheek.
“Ouch, that kind of hurt…” she mumbled. Why didn’t she move? She could’ve easily avoided that slap.
I’m sorry! I’m so sorry, are you okay? “You idiot! That was… that was terrible of you!” Sayumi yelled, unable to say the words she truly wanted to say. “How could you? You’re a horrible person!”
“Yeah, yeah, what’d you expect? I am yankii,” Junjun sighed. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, that was completely rude of me. I’m so sorry…
“BAKA!” Sayumi screamed. “Next time, I’ll definitely beat you!” That must’ve hurt a lot; will an ice pack do the trick?
With that, the bunny whipped around and stomped off the roof and down the stairs. Junjun just watched the pale-skinned girl leave, unable to stop her. She gently grazed her own lips with her fingertips, reminiscing the warmth.
“You’re not being yourself right now, Junjun,” she murmured. “Shikkari shite yo…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Shikkari shite yo means "get a hold of yourself"*
So I even added pictures of the H!P kids by the way I imagined them while writing XD
I'm not going to post video links because there's just too many but you can definitely find all of them on youtube (Imagine my surprise when I found the vid of Chisato singing Aa! Koi and Captain sing) XD
That nearly broke my fingers off but it's all good~~~ :D

-
I voted for Sci-Fi :lol:
I think Sayu finally got opened up just a bit though to Jun, but still a long way to go to be warm to Jun's personality
-
So the Kids make an appearance as the other gang members, that's cool, i was wondering what you would do about that.
“Why?” Sayumi whispered back. “She seems to be the most like you.”
“That’s why I’m saying you gotta watch out,” Junjun grinned.
Jun knows what's going on! XD
I... don't think I know a lot of those songs either, though. :sweatdrop: And, oddly, Only You makes me think about that one DDR song I liked. Ah, Captain Jack, you are missed.
And at the end, Jun steals another kiss! Yay! But, it appears as though, Sayu's not ready yet. I'm sure the day will come soon enough that she will be, though. Maybe after a few more failed challenges.
Tanakame, next? Will we just be seeing how Reina is doing, or will there be a bit of awkward resolution? Or will you skip them all together and hit Takagaki, then come around to Tanakame?
You know, maybe I should stop trying to guess the plot and just go along for the ride. :nervous
-
Woo! You threw in the Berryz and C-ute girls! I was like, oh no! Maimi stole Captain from Miya :mon tantrum2: , but it was Airi so everything was cool. :mon lovelaff:

Soshite.....KISU! :mon kissy: Sayu didn't avoid it and she didn't mean to slap Jun either. :wub: Everything is going great with these two! :mon thumb: That was so cute and I want to see this couple even moree! :inlove: Oh, almost forgot...Is that IT for the whole night? :roll:
So next is TanaKame? I'll be waiting~ :twothumbs
-
“Wait, rest of the night?” Sayumi asked, raising an eyebrow. “I thought it would be for the whole day tomorrow.”
“You want to be my servant for a longer period of time, and at school, in front of everybody?” Junjun smirked. “That’s fine with me.”
“No! Tonight is fine,” the bunny said quickly.
ahh.. nothing like subtle manipulation?! XD
Unconsciously, the panda swooped forward and met the bunny’s lips with her own. She gently moved against the soft skin, unable to stop her actions. She wanted to kiss her. She wanted to kiss her so much, she didn’t care much for the consequences. But why…?
:onioncheer: :onioncheer: :hee: :hee: weee!! :oops:
“Next time, I’ll definitely beat you!”
so,, there's going to be a next time?? :mon misch: :mon misch:
“You’re not being yourself right now, Junjun,” she murmured. “Shikkari shite yo…”

“Yeah, yeah, what’d you expect? I am yankii,” Junjun sighed. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, that was completely rude of me. I’m so sorry…
“BAKA!” Sayumi screamed. “Next time, I’ll definitely beat you!” That must’ve hurt a lot; will an ice pack do the trick?
With that, the bunny whipped around and stomped off the roof and down the stairs. Junjun just watched the pale-skinned girl leave, unable to stop her. She gently grazed her own lips with her fingertips, reminiscing the warmth.
“You’re not being yourself right now, Junjun,” she murmured. “Shikkari shite yo…”
This chapter made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside~ :mon inluv:
-
wow, you put in HP Kids... though it's kind of weird to picture captain and airi as yankii :nervous
Captain/Maimi and MiyAiri? and ChisaMai... so everyone in the gang except jun got a girlfriend :lol:
Sayu and Jun's relationship is getting interesting...
the kiss! :sweatdrop: so, what's junjun going to do to repair the damage?
waiting for the next chapter
-
I suppose it's kind of typical Jun, to arrange for Sayu to go out to karoake with her gang ( :w00t:H!P kid's cameo!) it's the kind of kindness we have seen fom Jun so far in this fic.
Hmm, it seems as though Sayu and Jun may trully have feelings for each other but at the same time they are both afraid, Sayu for almost not believeing that somone could actually love her because of who she is and Jun for almost not wanting to be a Yankii when Sayu is around, I liked the idea of the allmost double conversation they had at the end where they said what there characters would usually say but wanted to say something totally different.
-
Great chapter like always :twothumbs :twothumbs :twothumbs
and cool thats you put the H!P kids in Junjun gang too :)
LoL at thats Chisato are the only one without a girlfriend :P
and just wanna say i tick the one with school life cause...just like you say they rock in school uniform!! :w00t:
but k-drama is good too, since these day I'm quite obsessed with k-drama :)
-
the band-aid thing got me real good. :grin: so shweet! i love imagining Jun being bossy and petulant about wanting such an odd item. this was a good chapter. plus, pretty pictures to look at.
-
Wow!!!
Sorry for the last time I didn't leave a comment because I've a fight with my laptop (and I still because it don't show any emoticons).
Cel. for this chap!!!
I can't explain but I love it so much and wait for the next chap >w<
SarangAi Otsukaresama!
-
Fantasy! :w00t: Fantasy!11? ;D If you want to write something else but Takagaki and Tanakame then how about Tanashige? :w00t:
Junsayu is getting cuter ch by ch! XD Go for it everyone!!!!! :lol:
-
@kawaii beam: lol~ thanx kawaii-chan~~!!! XD
@kurosawa87: yup, but you could say vice versa as well~ :lol:
@rndmnwierd: OMG you should definitely give the songs a listen. they're REALLY good songs XD lol Ima hit TakaGaki then come around to TanaKame XD
@kano-chan: oh you'll see this couple more~ XD
@mmsuki: lol oh yeah, there's next time... :D
@XcuteX: aww~ glad to hear it! :inlove:
@eruchan: jun got no girl cuz jun is a PLAYAH :P
@oddball: oh you really got it down there. Jun wants to keep her cool character while Sayu is just being mean on the outside :D
@fallenxangel: lol i like school life fics too, but i'm kinda scared since Chigatte mo is a school fic and i'm having a hard time with it... but if it's picked, i'll do my best! XD
@gracula: lol the pictures make the story :D
@Shiawase_Honoo: lol i hope you and your laptop made up... :lol:
@Fushigidane: hey, whatever is the majority vote :D
Thank you so much for all the comments! I enjoyed reading every single bit of them :twothumbs
As for now, it seems like School Life is in the lead with Fantasy close behind. K-drama is falling behind a bit, which surprised me, since Kokoro no Uta was kinda like K-drama you know? But Chigatte mo Iin da yo is like School life so...
I don't know what you guys like, you guys make your pick XD XD
-
Ioooooooooo~
Damn work >o< stoping from commet >_>
I don't know if Eri can give advices when she's a mess XD
And the SayuJun was awesome >o< no one can against bamboo *u*
PD: Fantasy.. Fantasy.. Fantasy!!!
-
Very interesting chapter!~It seems that Junjun and Sayumi are developing feelings to each other, yet they don't know it. I'm excited to find out how it will end up being~
I lol'ed when I saw that you posted pictures of the other gang members (in a good way). For some reason, it's just really "you" to do that. :lol:
As for the poll, I gave my vote to Sci-Fi. I think, for a long time, people have imagined MM as either in the idol position or high schoolers.
Maybe introducing another style would totally change the way people look at them and even make the stories more unique
I read fanfictions of other groups (ie. kpop), and Sci-Fi works very well
It would be interesting reading those fanfics, because it holds a completely different tone
Plus, experimenting with different writing styles is something I try to do.
I have written (in other places) fanfictions of MM in a Sci-Fi style (TakaGaki)
Sometimes, it helps you as a "writer" too :)
However, don't be pressurized that it might not be good. Experimenting with different genres makes readers appreciate you more.
-
@Haruka: oddly enough, the turtle seems to be better at handling others' problems than her own. XD
@sapphire: lol because I like visual stuff, so pictures/videos are always god :twothumbs Yeah, I know what you mean. I wanna try writing other genres too! :)
Okay, just a REALLY short chapter before bed. It's more like a filler chapter. You know, build the suspense :twisted:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 31
The boy smiled as he continued to move his fingers rapidly over the keyboard. The click-clacking of the cell phone wasn’t too loud, so he wasn’t worried about being caught texting, even if it was Takahashi-sensei.
Yeah, she’s totally hot, the boy thought as he texted his friend in another classroom. I don’t really care about history and all but I could seriously listen to this shit all day if I can stare at her bod—
Suddenly, something small whizzed by the boy’s head, grazing his cheek in the process. The student looked up with a shocked expression, dropping his cell phone to the floor. Everybody in the classroom was staring at him with surprised faces as well. The history teacher at the front of the room was dusting her hands off.
“Please refrain from texting during my class, Kukai-kun,” Takahashi-sensei said, smiling brightly.
“S-s-sumimasen…” the boy stuttered, still not over the initial shock of having something thrown at his face.
“Thank you,” the teacher said. “Now please do me a favor and pick up that chalk behind you? It’s a shame that it broke; it was my last piece.”
“H-hai!”
The student immediately stumbled out of his chair, tripping on air in the process, and grabbed the broken piece of chalk that was behind him. He was sitting all the way in the back and the teacher had thrown this at him from meters away. That was scary. What if it had actually hit him instead of just grazing his face?
“By the way, I wasn’t really going to hit you with the chalk,” Ai said, smiling. “I just wanted to get your attention a little.”
The boy laughed nervously, slightly frightened by how his teacher had just read his mind, or his face. This teacher was gorgeous, but kind of creepy at times. Just like how she seemed to know everything going on in the classroom and the way she failed half the class for the first term.
The male student quickly walked over to the front of the classroom and presented the pieces of chalk to his teacher. Ai took it and smiled.
“Arigatou, Kukai-kun,” she said happily.
“Uh.. no problem, Sensei…” the boy said slowly, his cheeks blushing.
As the boy went back to take his seat, the rest of the students turned back to the board, sitting up straight just so they wouldn’t get in any unnecessary trouble. Risa just shook her head while grinning. Her peers were finally learning how scary Takahashi-sensei could really be, not to mention strict and merciless. She turned to look at Eri, who had a very confused expression on. Obviously, the turtle was still a little slow at understanding Ai’s character.
After a couple more minutes of lecture, the bell finally rang to indicate the end of the period.
“Make sure to read tonight’s chapters,” Ai yelled as she gathered her things. “Good work today, everyone.”
“Kiritsu!” Risa called, as the entire class stood up. “Rei! Otsukaresama deshita!”**
“Minna-san, otsukaresama!” Ai returned the thanks, before she walked out of the classroom.
While the other students all sat back down, Risa started to run out of the room after her teacher. Eri whispered some sort of chant to cheer her friend on as the bean turned around and gave a wink.
Risa quickly walked down the hallway and caught up to her teacher. Ai turned around at the sound of someone approaching and smiled.
“Ah, Gaki-san!” the teacher said happily. “Good work today. I really liked the way you presented your answer today, very well done.”
“Arigatou gozaimasu,” the bean said breathily. “Sensei, I… uh… I have request.”
“Yes?”
“I’m sorry to ask you this at the last minute,” the student started, “but will you be able to meet me after school today by the courtyard tree where we always eat? I have… uh… something to tell you.”
“… Actually, I have a prior engagement,” Ai said quietly. “I’m not sure if I can…”
“You have to come!” Risa yelled with a sudden burst of energy. “It’s very important, you have to listen!”
The bean had no idea where she was getting this spontaneous courage from. Normally, she would just said she understood and ask for another date, but she couldn’t help it. Something told her today was the day to confess and she had to follow her gut feeling. If she didn’t confess her feelings today, she knew she wouldn’t be able to do it in the future. And then, she would regret never coming clean.
“… I understand,” Ai finally said, smiling a little. “I’ll stop by to meet you by the tree, right after school. Will that be okay?”
“That would be perfect,” Risa sighed. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” Ai chuckled. “Now you better return to class, the starting bell is going to ring soon.”
“Okay!” Risa grinned, her happiness dying her cheeks soft pink. She turned and quickly skittered back to the class room. Ai watched her disappear through the door as her expression took a gradual change, from a smile to something else. Was it anger? Misery? Worry?
So there’s no way to avoid this, she thought, sighing. Well, one heart is about to be broken… or two.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**NOTE: Risa says, "Stand up, bow, good work today". The class representative does this after every class and does a greeting in the beginning too. It's called ojigi :)
excited? me too! :lol:
i hope i'm getting some of you worked up, i'm gonna start writing the next part tomorrow :D
But don't worry, I haven't forgotten about TanaKame. In the end, i'm expanding more on them than the other couples. they ARE main, after all XD
Also, for the poll, it seems like School-life is winning, which kinda surprised me since Chigatte mo Iin da yo is school-life and I did a better job in Kokoro no Uta. But I guess everybody has differing opinions, nee~?
If School-life does end up winning, i'll have to think of some special plot so it doesn't get too similar to Chigatte mo :P
:byebye: :sleep:
-
lol filler chapters are epic~ XD
i love how eri chantted risa and how risa just HAS to tell ai-chan how she feels X3 i really cant wait~! but the end......im worried~!D: ai-chan dont break mame's heart~~~D:
cant wait for more aiai~>3<
-
Poor boy XD j/k well I guess Risa will be able to say what she needs to say hopefully....
-
dun dun.. :mon cweepy:
So there’s no way to avoid this, she thought, sighing. Well, one heart is about to be broken… or two.
:panic: :panic: then just wait for her to graduate Ai-sensei..
and LOL she failed half of her class plus she got some serious ninja skillz!.. :lol: :bow: :bow:

(http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m353/eeeyohn/momusu/ai.jpg)
~it looks like i have a habit of posting pics on your thread.. :nervous: i can't help it.. hehehe.. ok, i promise this will be my last,, maybe.. XD
-
Woah... I'm seriously scared here. It feels like nothing can stop that heartbreaking from happening. But.. I hope Gaki-san can still convince Takahashi-sensei in the end! Gaki-san fight!!! :rock:
-
Oh! Ai-chan in this chap is so cool!
I like it because I always think that Ai-chan isn't the sweet person :nervous
But...Hey! Is it too short!? :shocked
You always make me to be the impatient :panic:
Anyway, L.O.V.E. Lovely SarangAi :wub:
-
Whoa! Ai-chan said that she wasn't really aiming to hit him, yet it grazed his cheek! :shocked: Something tells me that Ai-chan is really skillful in.... in what? :? Anyway, that's what he gets for being a perv! :tama-mad:
Yay! Gaki is finally going to confess! :mon money: But I'm getting mixed feelings about this... :panic:
What's with the "..one heart is about to be broken... or two." ??? :stunned:
Aahh! Who else?? Who is this number two!?? WUT?! :shock:
It's coming.... :badluck:
-
*appear*
Suddenly, something small whizzed by the boy’s head, grazing his cheek in the process.
Ex-Yankee? lol..
So there’s no way to avoid this, she thought, sighing. Well, one heart is about to be broken… or two.
one is gakisan
two..hmm..either ai herself OR someone else..
seem like gakisan will definitely get hurt..gakisan should jus grab Ai sensei and kiss her hard.. :lol:
JunSayu is deinitely :heart:
they already fallen for each other for sure..
Tanakame, i think their problem will solve sooner and later..
but AiGaki..dont seem like a nice path for them now..
*disappear again*
-
So there’s no way to avoid this, she thought, sighing. Well, one heart is about to be broken… or two.
DUN DUN DUUUUN!!!
-
:lol: Scary Sensei is awesome! And hot. :inlove:
Well, one heart is about to be broken… or two.
So she knows that she has to reject her, but she doesn't want to. I wonder if maybe Risa will not be able to accurately tell her at first, then kiss her with 'Actions speak louder than words' going through her head.
-
So there’s no way to avoid this, she thought, sighing. Well, one heart is about to be broken… or two.
:cry: I said Ai would do something like this because se thinks that she is not good for Gaki, stupid Ai :angry:
Hmm, don't think I wouls mess with her if she was my teacher mind!

aaaand tanakame~

kame as usual... still slow as ever :nervous
the ending... maybe ai-sensei starting to like gaki too? :roll:
but she's planning to reject gaki-san :panic:
-
huh...Why didn't I think of Ai-chan as the number two? I feel like an aho... :shocked
XD

http://img267.imageshack.us/i/kameieri4700.jpg/ (http://img267.imageshack.us/i/kameieri4700.jpg/)
-
Hmm so Kame is going to play the reverse psychology game? She abruptly stops the desperate texting and Reina's left to wonder what happened and she'll start to miss her turtle...and... :lol:
As for Takagaki, all signs are pointing to Ai rejecting Risa's confession. Though it seems from the last sentence that Ai does actually return her feelings somewhat...well that's a start I say.
Reina is quite an interesting character here, all yankii but also has her otome-girl side when she's with Eri. ;)
Usually people just write her as the baddass tough girl, or the evil!Reina but this fic has a nice twist to it.
This sort of cross-dressing-sort of gender-bending theme is unusual and that makes it all the more interesting! I don't think its been done before here.
And your other story Kokoro no Uta was such an enjoyable read too, I'm definitely going to be stalking your fic threads! lol :P
Eagerly awaiting your tanakame update!
-
Wow I'm really liking your fanfics!!! Usually I'm very picky with them but I just love your writing style! :twothumbs
Seriously can't wait for your next update on this story. I'm most excited about what's gonna happen to TakaGaki :shocked Come onnnnnnn! Get togeeeeether dammit XD That student-teacher thing going on there is :inlove: Also cause I love me some TakaGaki lovin' haha! XD They're my favourite pair. I also liked "Kokoro no Uta". I happened to end up reading that in a day. :nervous
-
@Tami_Ai: Sensei is always awesome. :grin:
@taylortot: lol yeah, I'm pretty evil. I get that a lot :twisted:
@eruchan: yeah, poor boy... he got no chance... :lol:
@kano-chan: lol don't worry, Eri is still #1 aho... I think :D
@taylortot (again): that is a KICKASS picture. :twothumbs
@meowz: whoo~ you really got the reina character down for my fic. That's exactly what i was going for. she's evil in too many fics so i wanted to through in something different here XD
@kimino-me: NEW PERSON :otomerika: :yossi: :cow: lol glad you like my fics! You read Kokoro no Uta in one day??? that's impressive! it's 101 chapters... :shocked XD
yo yo yo~ back with another chapter~ :D
It's actually kind short but it should get a good idea across 8)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 32
The bell rang loud and clear in the classroom, initiating a sudden burst of chatting and shuffling. The last class of the day had finally ended, so the students of Haro Kotogakko were gathering their belongings to head home.
Eri quickly dumped her books into her bag and threw it over her back. As she stood up from her seat, she realized that her cell phone was still on her desk. She picked it up, opened it, and started to dial a number by habit. But before she could press the “call” button, she stopped herself, remembering her new plan to stay away. Suppressing her desires, the turtle sighed before putting her cell phone in her pocket.
Risa gathered her things as well and grabbed her bag. She turned to look at her friend who was looking back at her with a very determined face.
“Risa-chan, ganbare!” Eri said, giving a very powerful gaze.
“Un!” the bean replied, making a fist. “I’ll do my best!”
“I’ll be cheering for you!” the turtle said, also holding up a fist.
“Yosh!” Risa sighed. “Here I go!”
With that, the bean skittered out of the classroom, through the hallways, and down the stairs. She didn’t want to keep her teacher waiting in the courtyard too long; after all, she had said that there was another business she needed to attend to.
At the speed she was going, Risa reached the familiar tree at the courtyard in no time. It was peculiar to see the yard so empty, since school was now over and everybody was too busy leaving. Under the large tree, the one person that the bean had wanted to see was waiting, checking her watch. Her long wavy brown hair was pulled back partially with a clip; she was wearing a white blouse with a pink skirt that reached just below her knees. There was a bag slung over her shoulder as she held onto it tightly. The student took a deep breath.
Okay, this is it! She thought. The moment is finally here, Risa. Don’t back down now, you can do this!
While calming herself down, the bean slowly walked over to the tree to reveal herself to her teacher. Ai turned around and smiled, spotting her best student. The flash of her happy expression was enough to make the teenager’s heart skip a beat.
“Gaki-san,” Takahashi-sensei greeted. “I was waiting for you.”
“Thank you for sparing your time for me,” Risa said, bowing her head. “It really is important…”
“I understand,” Ai chuckled. “You’ve told me a lot of things already; I guess I don’t mind hearing a couple things more. But are you sure I’m the right person to tell?”
“Oh, I’m sure,” Risa sighed. Who else would I confess my love to? What is she even talking about?
“I just don’t want you to tell me too many secrets,” Ai explained. “I mean, I would think that normal students would go gossip with their friends instead of their teacher.”
“Why, am I not to trust you?” Risa asked teasingly. Oh, I see; she thinks I’m about to confide in her about teenage problems like I did with Eri’s issue.
“Of course you can trust me,” the teacher grinned. “If you’re okay with it, then I don’t mind listening.”
“Okay, then,” Risa giggled softly. Oh god, here I go…
“So what were you going to tell me?” Ai inquired.
“So… you see…” the younger girl started as she lowered her head, already feeling the heat rising in her cheeks, “I know I wasn’t so kind to you in the beginning of the year. But I think I slowly learned to like you more and respect you in a way throughout the semester. And, well, I still don’t know your secret and all but that doesn’t matter to me anymore. I don’t want to dig into something you don’t want me to know.” Stop babbling, Risa, you sound like an aho. What are you, Kameha? “Um, anyway, my point is, I think that we, uh, hit it off well with each other eventually…” ‘Hit it off’? It’s official; I’m more of an aho than even Eri. “Well, what I’m trying to say is… I think my feelings for you have grown past the extent of just respect.”
“… What are you trying to say?”
“What I mean to say is…” Risa hesitated, fumbling with the cluster of words in her mouth, “I think… I’ve fallen in love with you. No, I know that I’m in love with you! I really like you and I want to be with you, Sensei… and if you will accept my feelings—”
“I can’t.”
Risa looked up with wide eyes as she got a clear look at her teacher’s face. Ai’s expression was hardened as she was gently biting down on her bottom lip. She was avoiding eye contact with the bean but the aura she was giving off was enough to give Risa a hint.
“… W-what…” the student mumbled, even though she had heard clearly the first time.
“I can’t,” Ai said with determination once more. “I can’t accept your feelings, Gaki-san. I’m sorry.”
“… Oh…” Risa mumbled again. She took a deep breath and let out a small laugh. “Well, I guess I knew this was the more likely result anyway. It’s not that surprising. But… um… can I still know why?”
“… Gaki-san, you’re a very beautiful girl,” Ai started, stilling keep her gaze to the side. “You’re smart and kind and pure and everything that I ever wanted to be. Thanks to you, I think I’ve achieved maybe a quarter of what you are. But I still don’t want someone like me to be with a girl like you. You should find a more a suitable person your own age.”
“… So this isn’t even about the fact that you’re a teacher and I’m a student?” the bean said slowly, an unknown emotion starting to engulf her. “This isn’t even about the fact that I’m six years younger than you?”
“Well, that too…”
“So it’s not even about public morals?” Risa said, raising her tone. “It’s about you being the bad one and me being the good one again? I thought you let that idea go!”
“I never said—”
“But you meant it!” Risa interrupted, now yelling at the expressionless teacher. “What are you always so afraid of? Why are you so scared to… to… contaminate me or something? Why do you always degrade yourself?”
“Gaki-san—”
“You know, one inevitable thing is the fact that I did fall in love with you. That had nothing to do with your intentional actions, it’s all me being attracted to who you are. If I’m as good as you say, and I want to be with you, that means there’s got to be some ‘good’ in you, right?”
“Gaki-san, listen—”
“I don’t want your stupid concepts of good and bad to be the thing that stops us from being together! I don’t want my feelings trampled by your unreasonable guilt, Sensei, I love you! And if you care about me enough, you would think this way, even just a little bit—”
“But I don’t!” Ai yelled, cutting Risa’s rant half way. She was now directly staring at the younger girl. There was a certain intensity in her eyes; Risa wasn’t sure what it was but she knew it was there and it was piercing through her heart.
“… what?”
“I don’t care for you in that sense,” the teacher said straightforwardly, with the same hard expression. “That’s my main reason for rejecting you. I don’t have the same feelings towards you. I see you as my student—a special student, but a still a student—nothing more, nothing less.”
Risa stood frozen for a while as she processed what she had just heard. So everything that she had thought and felt was all an illusion. She was just entertaining herself in her own mind. Sensei had never treated her in a special way because she saw her as a different girl. She did so because she was just the oh-so-special class representative.
“… I see…” the bean whispered, lowering her head a little again. “That’s it, isn’t it? You don’t feel the same way for me; it was just a one-sided crush… it’s natural for you to reject me…”
“… Gaki-san—” Ai started, lifting her hand to reach out to the younger student.
“Please don’t,” Risa said, stepping back. “I’m perfectly fine! I’m perfectly…”
Suddenly, the short-haired girl felt something wet traveling down her cheeks. Before she knew it, her entire face felt soaked. How odd… she was smiling, yet the tears were uncontrollable… because they were tears from the heart. A young 17-year-old girl could only contain so much emotion.
“Eh… why am I…” Risa laughed shakily, trying to dry her tears with her sleeves to no avail. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I’m sorry, I just…”
“Gaki-san, I—”
“Sorry for bothering you today, Sensei,” Risa said quickly, ducking her head so as not to show her embarrassed face. “If you can, please forget this ever happened and please don’t let it burden you.”
After a quick bow, the young girl turned around and ran out of the courtyard and disappeared into the school building. Ai called her name but failed to let her voice out loudly enough. She tried to reach out, even, but slowly put her hand down. She clenched her hand into a fist as if to hold on to something, to herself.
This… is the best way… right?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh yeah, I did it. :twisted:
btw, I don't know when I'm closing the poll but it looks like School-life is winning by a LOT so... yeah, we'll see though :P
But I got some real kickass ideas for each of the genres...
A question for all: If i do write another school-life fic, would you guys be angry if i make the school not very school-like? It might have a twist of k-drama in it too (cuz that's just in my blood and i'm so obsessed with dramas these days) :nervous
just a quick survey so I can think things through before I over-plan, you know? XD
anyway, this chapter marked the end of a certain arc... kinda but not really :lol:
:byebye: :sleep:
-
Ai rejected her.... aww, oh well move on and see what is up for her....
-

-
ok.. i knew that was coming but -->> :ptam-hbk: seriously!! :ptam-cry: :ptam-cry: :ptam-cry: :ptam-cry: :frustrated: :gyaaah: :gyaaah:
through that short chapter you were still able to convey the character's emotions. i really love your concise writing style! :twothumbs
can't wait for the TanaKamei!! :oops: :wub:
A question for all: If i do write another school-life fic, would you guys be angry if i make the school not very school-like? It might have a twist of k-drama in it too (cuz that's just in my blood and i'm so obsessed with dramas these days)
you can never go wrong with a kdrama?! hahahaha.. just don't put in the clichéd incurable disease in the mix.. XD :lol:
-
Oh, that makes me feel soo much better... ;) XD
Back to the chapter..
That's a great confession! :inlove: I was all smiley :D at the beginning until Ai-chan said it's a no-no. :(
Now Ai-chan's going to be the one making it up to Risa. :P
And no, we won't be angry as long as the story is awesome. :twothumbs
Is TanaKamei next? :roll:
-
Ouch! So much sadness for TanaKame & TakaGaki :P But that's what make the whole story realistic :twothumbs
I have a feeling TanaKame will be alright...eventually. Hmm TakaGaki, it'll be interesting to see how you will play with this couple, considering the societal no-no :smhid
On JunSayu, I never thought I'd ever think them as cute pairing :wub:
As for the voting, I didn't choose any. But as a writer, wouldn't you like to write something different to test your capabilities? I mean, you are a good writer. But I'll read whatever you'll write :)
And that is the end of my nonsensical thoughts *retreats back into the turtle shell*
-
NOOOOOOOOO!!! :pleeease:
*cue dramatic music*
SARANG AI!!!! YOU'RE SO EVIL!!! *cries and runs away*
-
“So it’s not even about public morals?” Risa said, raising her tone. “It’s about you being the bad one and me being the good one again? I thought you let that idea go!”
Well it didn't take Gaki long to figure that out did it.....
“I don’t want your stupid concepts of good and bad to be the thing that stops us from being together! I don’t want my feelings trampled by your unreasonable guilt, Sensei, I love you! And if you care about me enough, you would think this way, even just a little bit—”
another good point by Gaki, man she is properly guilt tripping Ai at this point me-thinks
“I don’t care for you in that sense,” the teacher said straightforwardly, with the same hard expression. “That’s my main reason for rejecting you. I don’t have the same feelings towards you. I see you as my student—a special student, but a still a student—nothing more, nothing less.”
Oh, come on Ai! none of us believe that for a second
Risa stood frozen for a while as she processed what she had just heard. So everything that she had thought and felt was all an illusion. She was just entertaining herself in her own mind. Sensei had never treated her in a special way because she saw her as a different girl. She did so because she was just the oh-so-special class representative.
What? Gaki you numpty don't believe Ai's nosesense you had it all right a moment ago......
After a quick bow, the young girl turned around and ran out of the courtyard and disappeared into the school building. Ai called her name but failed to let her voice out loudly enough. She tried to reach out, even, but slowly put her hand down. She clenched her hand into a fist as if to hold on to something, to herself.
This… is the best way… right?
Yeah feel the pain Ai for what you did to poor Gaki who read you like a book earlier in this chapter! :angry: perhaps Gaki should start going all Yankii or something though perhaps that's just wishful thinking on my part......
A question for all: If i do write another school-life fic, would you guys be angry if i make the school not very school-like? It might have a twist of k-drama in it too (cuz that's just in my blood and i'm so obsessed with dramas these days) :nervous
Hmm, are you thinking along the lines of 'Dream High' here?
-
ouch gaki-san got shot down :bleed eyes:
i know it! but still... :cry:
well, i think the 'speech' that gaki-san give kinda hit the mark
or maybe ai-sensei haven't fall for gaki yet?
so, next chapter is tanakame?
-
Oh...I've known that but... :cry: :cry:
Gaki-ha...don't be sad...
Ai-sensei, you know your feeling so good and I know your reason but still get mad to you :banghead:
Wait for the next chap :wub:
-
@kurosawa87: don't seem too surprised XD
@kawaii beam: LOL i love that song too :lol:
@mmsuki: YES that's what i was aiming for! i'm glad i got through... thank you~ :D oh, and i go for everything but diseases... :smhid
@kano-chan: I'm not really going particular order anymore... so the next chapter is kinda filler, i'm not sure what to call it.. when TanaKame comes back, i wanna be *BANG* didn't see that coming XD
@badsaints: yeah, I kinda thought that way too but school-life is winning... :nervous i don't know, i might just mix everything and make it a big genre stew of a fanfic XD
@XcuteX: hahaha... yes, i'm known for that :twisted:
@oddball: OMG i didn't even think of it that way, i'm so obsessed with the drama... i guess the inspiration came subconsciously? :lol: Well, if i go with the current storyline, i guess you could say the school is similar but the school i'm thinking of is MUCH more complex... and plotline is VERY different XD i guess just the concept of the school for the arts :D
@eruchan: oh it should sting, even if you knew... :twisted:
@Shiawase-Honoo: lol aww~ don't be too mad... :wub:
thanx for the comments, minna~~ TOTAL appreciation :lol:
As for the polls, now i'm not even sure what to do. people are saying this, people are saying that, and the results aren't that far apart to say the complete majority wants a certain genre.
So new idea: I kinda want to try something else so i can improve and stuff. So would you guys be okay with it if I made it school-life/fantasy? I'm not even gonna say k-drama anymore, i honestly that comes out naturally for me, for the better or for the worst, since i watch too many dramas :nervous
i don't know~ i'll choose one in the end, i'll figure something out. I hope you read my next stuff even i do something really random... but i'll make it good! really!! :twothumbs
-
^ Holy crap yes! Magical schoolgirls? *faints from happiness*
“But I don’t!” Ai yelled,
*coughbullshitcough* If she really didn't feel the same, she would have said so in the first place. This, to us, makes it seems like she's reaching for an excuse to reject Gaki-san. She's had all day to prepare, you can't tell me she hasn't rehearsed what she was going to say? I mean, it's Takahashi-sensei for crying out loud.
Before she knew it, her entire face felt soaked. How odd… she was smiling, yet the tears were uncontrollable… because they were tears from the heart.
But poor Gaki can't see what we see. All she knows is that she's been rejected and she thinks she's no more special to Ai than any other class representative would be.
Tanakame? :on comhere: XD
-
{out}
:shock: :scared: :stoned:

-
That almost break my heart T________T
Poor Gaki, all the teenage illusions </3 U_U
Next fic can be school fantasy life with drama? XD jajajaja
-
i thought i was prepared for this rejection... but...
:mon wtfmm:
*sigh* poor gaki-san :smhid
takahashi-sensei is speaking nonsense right there! what do you mean "i don't"!? haha. she's gonna regret saying it and apologize to our dear little mame-chan :mon pray2:
http://img814.imageshack.us/i/gakisan.jpg/ (http://img814.imageshack.us/i/gakisan.jpg/)
i really think this picture fits the situation XD
"gaki-san what's wrong?"
"takahashi-sensei... rejected me."
-
NOOOO! LIES, ALL LIES! :cry: Oh... the pain! There must be something else stopping Aichan besides "not feeling the same way"! :? Waaah! What is it?!
Btw SarangAi, for your poll I voted for a school setting but now on second thoughts I feel like fantasy all of a sudden XD But whatever you're writing next, I'll most definitely like it anyway. :lol:
-
Random and new is a great idea for the next fanfic. School life + fantasy sounds interesting (tell me they have cute ears like in fantasy genre movies' characters do :heart: :lol:)
What's important to me is that you write, not if it weren't for some reason awesome. :D (having read both of ur fanfics so far I think I can suppose anything u write to be quite awesome tho :P)
I'm not sure at all if I'm commenting something totally random but hey, I comment randomly and fail sometimes so I won't mind if you once write a fanfic I don't find entertaining or sth. :nervous
now I must believe my own words and post this... ~_~ heheh, have a nice day :D :thumbup
-
@mmsuki: YES that's what i was aiming for! i'm glad i got through... thank you~ oh, and i go for everything but diseases...
thats great.. :grin: :grin:
in all honesty i don't really consider Chigatte a school-life fic.. XD for me its more like a kdrama in a school setting with a feel of anime to it.. if that makes any sense.. :lol: my perception of a school-life genre is more about the different cliques; the popular-geek crowd and the peer pressure and what not.. but thats just me.. hehehe.. :nervous
So new idea: I kinda want to try something else so i can improve and stuff. So would you guys be okay with it if I made it school-life/fantasy?
school-life fantasy makes me think of Harry Potter.. :lol: but whatever you come up with i'm sure it'll be great and we are all looking forward to it.. :)
-
@rndmnwierd: LOL you're so demanding XD Nope, I think I'll hold off on the TanaKame for a bit... just to torture you, rndy :twisted:
@YumePouk: HEY~ I missed you! Glad to hear about the support though, even though it may be silent :lol:
@Haruka: lol it's a genre melting pot :P how's work? still hectic? :panic:
@taylortot: lol I think Risa seems more angry in that pic than sad XD
@kimino-me: NEW PERSON :otomerika: :yossi: :cow: lol it may be both so you don't have to worry :lol:
@Fushigidane: aww~ that's so sweet. I'll do my best! :thumbsup
@mmsuki: ah~ I guess my natural k-drama-ness comes out in even Chigatte mo... sorry, I can't help it :nervous LOL and if i do that, it'll be nothing like harry potter XD
Thanks for all the comments minna~~ they make my days brighter and brighter through the snow :twothumbs
Just a really short chapter before I go to bed. You can think of it as intermission, kinda.
And yeah, I'm holding back on TanaKame just to torture y'all :twisted:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 33
The living room was silent except for the consistent ticking of the clock. The television was turned on as if to bring life into the room, but the sound was muted so it didn’t have that much effect on the stillness of the atmosphere. Besides, both Risa and Eri were too burned out to notice anything at the moment. They were thinking of their own problems going on at the moment.
Risa had felt absolutely lifeless for some time, which was quite unlike her. It had already been two weeks since she confessed to her teacher, who was loved by everybody in the school. Believing her love was something a little more special, the bean had taken the liberty to show her true feelings for Takahashi-sensei. However, Ai had been very straightforward with her and had made it clear that she did not return the feelings.
How could she be so cruel? She didn’t even hesitate to break her student’s heart, and didn’t even look at her. But Risa had considered the possibility that her teacher was just trying to prevent the confession from dragging on too long, so that the bean wouldn’t make a fool out of herself too much. That much was appreciated.
However, Risa was embarrassed. She felt like an idiot, how she went on with a whole speech about how Takahashi-sensei always degrades herself when that wasn’t even the reason for the rejection. Who was she to lecture her teacher like that?
And so, as her self-consciousness got the better of her, Risa had been consistently avoiding her teacher for the past two weeks. Yes, she would see her in class but the bean had taken the effort to run into the room right when the bell rang so Ai would have to start teaching and run out as soon as the ending bell sounded. Takahashi-sensei had tried to talk to her for the first couple of days, trying to get a hold of her after class; but soon, she realized Risa’s feelings and gave her the space she needed. The bean appreciated that too.
But this kind act was only making her like her teacher even more! She knew she should give up now but she couldn’t help it. Takahashi-sensei just seemed so perfect in her eyes. She couldn’t even imagine anyone else to be with now. But she still couldn’t bear to face her.
As the bean sighed and hugged her legs to her chest, Eri clutched a pillow close to her with a cell phone in her hand. It had almost been three weeks since she last talked to Reina, and the turtle could not stand not having her cell phone at all times. She had thought about locking it away somewhere so that she can resist the urge to make a call or text. But then, she also thought about the slightest possibility that maybe, by some sort of miracle, Reina would forgive her and call her. It seemed a long way off, but it didn’t hurt anyone.
Junjun’s advice was starting to feel more and more painful. Eri couldn’t help but think, every day, that Reina had already forgotten about her and moved on. It kind of helped that Linlin visited her once and cheered her up a little, which was definitely a surprise. But if anybody was going to be nice enough to update her on news, the turtle knew it would be the younger panda. Eri had really appreciated her coming to Haro Kotogakko just to give her a quick pep talk to not give up since the kitten was still on the brink, although it made the turtle feel a little guilty that Linlin had to tell a small white lie to her girlfriend.
“We’re really pathetic,” Risa suddenly said, breaking the silence. “Look at us, we’re being total bums! The television is on but it’s on mute because we’re too depressed to even watch a show properly. That has got to be the most fail thing I have done in my life.”
“You know, the bigger question for me is why you’re lounging in my apartment again,” Eri said, narrowing her eyes. “I thought your mom was home today.”
“She is,” the bean sniffed. “But I wanted to be here.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m completely freaking out!” Risa yelled, groaning. “I can’t even control it anymore. I’m the iinchou! I’m supposed to be calm and poised but I’m losing it now! You have to help me!”
“What am I supposed to do?” Eri sighed. She really didn’t want to hear this right now. All she could think about was Reina. But seeing her friend going ballistic in front of her wasn’t all that fun either so she decided to help shut her up. “You know, Risa-chan, people get rejected all the time. There are a lot of unrequited loves out there. There’s no need to avoid Sensei because of that.”
“It’s different for me, though,” the bean moaned. “I completely humiliated myself in front of her. I told you how I blabbered on and on—”
“Yeah, you did,” Eri interrupted. “But look at it this way: if you keep on avoiding Sensei like this, you’ll never be able to face her, ever again. You’ll never be able to talk to her, even just as old friends. Is that what you want?”
“… No…” Never talk to Takahashi-sensei again? Just the pure thought of it was horrifying.
“Then stop being wimp and cheer up!” Eri grinned. “This isn’t the Gaki-san I know. You’re the type who faces trouble, not run away from it. You’re the most perfect person I know.”
“But… how am I supposed to act around her, though?” Risa mumbled.
“Act like Gaki-san!” the turtle said. “Be the you that Sensei knows and don’t show this weak side of you. Like you said before, it’s pathetic.”
“But…”
“And if you want my honest opinion,” Eri whispered, smiling, “I think it’s too soon to give up. Just because you get a strike out once, doesn’t mean you won’t get a home run the next time. I think you should keep trying. You have to hang in there.” Yeah… if you truly love someone, you have to hang in there…
“You’re right, Kameha,” Risa finally said. “I don’t want to give up yet. I’m going to keep on chasing her! I mean, I’ve never liked anybody like this before… and I know I’ll regret it if I let her go this easily.”
“That’s the attitude!” Eri laughed. “Make her want to do the chasing!”
Risa giggled along with her turtle friend. She hadn’t laughed like this in a long time. Eri really just had that aura and mindset that made people feel better about themselves. The bean knew she topped the turtle in almost everything—grades, maturity level, and patience—but the one thing only Eri had was that sweetness of hers.
“Well, I guess it’s only fair if I listen to your problems next, isn’t it?” Risa smiled. “I know what you’re thinking already but it doesn’t hurt to talk about it.”
“Actually, I don’t think I need to anymore,” Eri said, leaning back in the sofa and loosening her hold on the cushion. “I think that advice I gave you was for us both. Ironic, huh?”
“Well, considering this is you we’re talking about, not so much,” the bean teased. “So what’s your plan for this so-called brand new tomorrow?”
“Same as you,” Eri answered. “I’m going to hang in there until the end, except you’re going to be getting more active while I become a little more patience. I just need more trust in Junjun and Reina.”
“I think you would be better at my job and I would be better at yours,” Risa sighed. “Life is weird.”
“Life is complicated,” Eri agreed.
“Well, I feel a little better now,” the bean said, stretching. “Can we actually try watching some TV now? I think I’ll be able to concentrate this time.”
“You’re not going home?”
“Eh. I’ll stick around a little longer.”
Eri just shrugged as she grabbed the television remote off the coffee table. She stared at the cell phone in her hand for a while, before smiling a little and putting it down slowly. It was on the loudest volume; she’d be able to hear it if it rang. She really needed to stop being so insecure, it didn’t suit her.
The turtle aimed the remote at the television and pressed the “mute” button to turn the volume on again. As the sound of the comedy show filled the living room, the two friends got closer and leaned against each other, happy to have one another by their side.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next are the yankiis :D
So I got so many different ideas swimming around in my head, I don't know what to do. :panic:
But I might just put it off until I'm actually near the end of this fic. :lol:
But recently, I've been very inspired by Angel Diary by Lee Yoon-hee. My favorite comic of ALL TIME. :wub: :wub:
So I might do something like that maybe... kinda... :nervous
:byebye: :sleep:
-
Eri became that voice to Risa to still confront Takahashi sensei and I guess Eri had to take the same advice against Jun's recommendation, how "ironic" :lol:
-
Work is a kick in the ass... but it pays enough XD
Like I said >o< I want a School Fantasy Live with Drama for next fic =D jajaja is it to much to ask T_T? jajajaja
I want my holidays already >_>...
This cheerfull chit chat they have to each other, give them so hope =)
I wonder what their respeectic crush and girlfriend are doing?
PD: Do you have Summer Break? or is Winter Break? cause here is Summer.
-
This chapter was kinda cute! :heart: Showing how good GakiKame's friendship is. :yep:
Wow, Kame is the one giving all those good advices! :roll:
Now that they've gotten their spirits back, things might just work out. :mon determined: I'm sure that Ai-chan is thinking of Risa because she's worried and Reina is probably missing the turtle~ :mon innocent:
-
The cute chap!
The bean and the turtle's friendship :wub:
Even thought the turtle still can't solve her problem but she have the strong-sweeted heart and share it to the others.
Wait for next chap :wub:
P.S. Whatever you write, I keep an eye on :wub:
-
“We’re really pathetic,” Risa suddenly said, breaking the silence. “Look at us, we’re being total bums! The television is on but it’s on mute because we’re too depressed to even watch a show properly. That has got to be the most fail thing I have done in my life.”
Yeah, come on! Cheer up!
Eri had really appreciated her coming to Haro Kotogakko just to give her a quick pep talk to not give up since the kitten was still on the brink, although it made the turtle feel a little guilty that Linlin had to tell a small white lie to her girlfriend.
This is pure awesome. I heart Lin!
“I don’t want to give up yet. I’m going to keep on chasing her! I mean, I’ve never liked anybody like this before… and I know I’ll regret it if I let her go this easily.”
Oh man, I can just imagine Risa showering Ai with gifts and more declarations of love, while Ai feels just a little bit overwhelmed and definitely pleased. You cannot deny the Takagaki, Ai-sensei!
-
You really are evil. Look! She even dressed up for the occasion:
Under the large tree, the one person that the bean had wanted to see was waiting, checking her watch. Her long wavy brown hair was pulled back partially with a clip; she was wearing a white blouse with a pink skirt that reached just below her knees.
But in vain. Alas.
That has got to be the most fail thing I have done in my life.
I kind of projected Niigaki Risa, Momusu sub-leader into this sentence and laughed my ass off. No, Mayuge, watching TV on mute because of depression is far from being the failest thing you've done. But we love you because of those moments.
I just need more trust in Junjun and Reina.
It's funny Eri lumped in her kataomoi together with Jun- Junjun is so boss.
So I got so many different ideas swimming around in my head, I don't know what to do.
But I might just put it off until I'm actually near the end of this fic.
You're going to cram 'em all in at the end? Instead of spacing 'em out? These must be some kinda ideas you got there.
:lol: Looking forward to it.
-
It doesn't feel like this story has a main couple anymore, and if there was it feels like it has been relegated to supporting characters than the main couple. I was excited for an update hoping the next update would shift the focus on TanaKame again....but alas. I guess there was a tiny mention on the progress on the TanaKame side of things but I was hoping to see Jun knock some sense into Reina or something :lol: Or what Reina had been up to for the three weeks Eri dropped all contact with her, and her turmoil :D
I'm not meant to sound like a whining reader, just an observation so read don't too much into it :)
Looking forward to the yankii gang next~~
(As for your next fic, I'm not too fussed about the genre, but would be interested to see what pairings you come up with. How about you keep the polls to decide the genre, and you surprise us with the pairings? They probably will be GoRokki pairings, right??)
-
@kurosawa87: it's my favorite word XD
@Haruka: It's winter here right now, we recently got nearly a foot of snow :lol:
@kano-chan: ohoho... reina... :twisted:
@Shiawase_Honoo: yup! Eri is so sweet... to me, that's the best adjective for her :D
@rndmnwierd: lol yes, TakaGaki forever! :twothumbs
@gracula: no no, i meant ideas for the fic i'm writing after Chigatte mo is over~ I'm gonna worry about it later :lol:
@aussie: no no, i'm glad you made this point and i totally understand why you would say that. But trust me, I got a lot of TanaKame planned for the future, you'll get enough of them, i promise. they are definitely the main, i haven't forgotten. i'm just... building suspense(?) anyway, TanaKame will always be main, i'll throw out enough of that XD
thank you for all the comments~~ :cow:
So I'm gonna try to write as much as I can so we can get to TanaKame a little quicker. plot-wise, i have to do some other chapters first before i can get to TanaKame :lol:
And honestly, about the couples for the next fic, i have NO IDEA. :shocked
Everything seems good to me, KameShige, TanaGaki, TanaShige, TanaJun, Reika... I CANT CHOOSE :panic:
but yeah, we'll worry about that later though. i'm probably still gonna have to you guys vote cuz i'm so indecisive. But if by some miracle i end up liking one couple more than the other, i'm just gona choose XD
*runs off to write*
-
Sorry for the continuously short chapters... at least i'm updating two nights in a row XD
think of it this way; shorter chapter = faster updates = TanaKame getting closer :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 34
“Nee… shouldn’t we do something at this point?” Linlin whispered quietly at her girlfriend. “I’m seriously starting to get worried now.”
“You’re starting to get worried?” Aika whispered back silently. “I was worried starting from day one! This has been a serious matter and still is.”
“I don’t know what you guys are seeing,” Junjun mumbled, joining the toned-down conversation by the kitchen counter, “but I only see Reina just sitting there. There’s nothing out of the ordinary.”
“You have to look at her with your heart, Senpai!” Linlin sighed.
“It’s so obvious that Tanaka-senpai is in pain right now,” Aika whispered furiously. “Look at the way she’s clutching her cell phone! Look at the way she’s staring blankly at the wall! She’s obviously been hurt by that no good turtle of a bi—”
“Oh, so you guys see that too,” Junjun shrugged. “I don’t know, I just thought that was kind of too obvious, considering everything that’s happened for these past few weeks.”
“You’re way to calm here, senpai!” Aika growled. “What if Tanaka-senpai stays like this forever?”
“Yeah, who are we supposed to bother about going to karaoke?” Linlin chimed in.
Junjun shifted her eyes from one kouhai to another, taking in their pouting expressions. The tall panda sighed and looked up at her previous leader, who was slouching on the couch in the living room. Although she was in the kitchen which was divided form the living room by a hallway, Junjun could easily tell Reina was very out of it. Her mouth was dropped open half-way as she hugged her legs to her chest. She was holding on to her cell phone so tightly, her knuckles turned white. Occasionally, she would flip the phone open and stare at the screen for a couple seconds before closing it and returning to her original position.
Whenever she was at home, the kitten would immediately change out of public clothes into pairs of pajamas, choosing comfort over style. Today, she was wearing a black t-shirt with purple sweatpants. And worst of all, the television was on but it was on mute, so the ex-yankii was just staring at the colorful screen. Plus, it was on history channel. That meant there was something seriously wrong with Reina.
“What do you want me to do about it?” the yankii leader whispered. “If you guys are so worried, you guys go talk to her.”
“But you’re the one who started this!” Aika fought back. “You’re the one who said Tanaka-senpai will eventually make the right choice for herself and everything will go back to normal.”
“And Kame-san is getting more and more discouraged by the day too,” Linlin pitched in.
“Yeah, and— wait, what?” Aika sharply turned to her girlfriend, whose eyes were now wide at realizing her slip of the tongue. “How would you know that, Linlin?”
“I… uh… I’m saying that, um, Kame-san is probably getting more and more discouraged by the day…” the younger panda stuttered, laughing nervously. “Haha… yeah… that’s it… probably…”
“… You’re a terrible liar, Rinko,” Aika growled, glaring. “How could you even think to care about that girl when Reina-senpai has been—”
“Okay, you know what?” Junjun interrupted, standing up from the stool by the counter. “I’ll go talk to Reina right now, I’m not going to listen to you guys argue for the next couple hours.”
“You’re just going to leave me?” Linlin asked, her eyes shocked with terror.
“She’s not going to eat you,” the leader smirked.
“That depends on your definition of ‘eat’,” Aika grumbled, still leering at her girlfriend who was smiling nervously.
Junjun just chuckled to herself before walking out of the kitchen. She knew her underclassmen would make up soon anyway. That was how their relationship was; everything they felt for each other seemed too light-hearted to call it love so they would end up arguing sometimes (arguing, meaning Aika would complain while Linlin tries to stay positive). But because they were so carefree and really did love each other, they would make up just as quickly and be back to the cutesy lovey-dovey mode in no time. This cycle had been repeated many times.
The black haired girl crossed the hallway into the living room. She trudged over to the sofa and dropped down next to her friend, who slowly turned her head to look at her. Reina’s eyes were blank and glassy, as though she didn’t comprehend anything. Dark circles were visibly shown under her eyes while her hair was in a carelessly-made messy bun. Now that she was looking closer, Junjun found it hard to believe her perfectionist friend could get to this state.
“What’s going on in the kitchen?” Reina asked, her voice still sounding fairly normal. “I hear some arguing…”
“It’s Aika and Linlin’s weekly lover’s quarrel,” the panda joked. “They’ll get over it soon.”
“Huh.”
With that, Reina just turned back to the silent TV to watch the program about the bushido society. Junjun rolled her eyes at the girl’s lack of curiosity and laughter and continued to push on.
“By the way, why aren’t you kicking us out today? Aren’t you usually annoyed when we come to your house unannounced, especially on a Sunday?”
“Doesn’t matter,” the kitten said, shrugging. “It’s not like there’s anybody else coming. I don’t really care.”
“… Okay, I give up,” the yankii leader said impatiently when she failed to hold a conversation with Reina again. “Listen, we should talk.”
“About what?”
“About you. I mean, look at yourself. You’ve never been this out of it before; you’re seriously beating yourself up right now. Where’s the perfect Tanaka Reina I know?”
“Um, I’m not sure what you’re talking about, Junjun,” Reina said, cocking her head to the side and raising an eyebrow. “I’m perfectly normal right now.”
“No, you’re not,” the panda sighed. “You know that’s not true. I know it, Aika knows it, and Linlin knows it. Even the other girls know it. Did you know Chisato told me yesterday that she’s worried about you? I mean, come on, this is Chisato; she’s usually bratty and kind of self-centered and way too confident. She said she’s worried about you.”
“Go tell her to mind her own business and get her girl back before she regrets it,” Reina snapped. “You know, I saw that Hagiwara girl on Friday; she looked pretty comfortable in the little group of boys and girls she was with.”
“Stop getting off topic,” Junjun moaned. “You know what? I’ll just be straightforward from now on; no more roundabout ways. You’re thinking about Eri.”
“No, I’m not,” Reina denied, replying a little too quickly.
“Yes, you are,” Junjun insisted. “You’re holding on to your cell phone like you’re going to die if you let go. You’re annoyed and confused that Eri has stopped texting to you. You’re worried that she might have given up on you.”
“If she really gave up on me, then I’m happy about it!” Reina growled. “I don’t ever want to see her again.”
“Stop lying to yourself,” Junjun said. “Look… I’m just concerned about you, alright? I don’t want you to make decisions you’re going to regret later. You’re lingering on the past; you have to choose whether you want to make that past the future or if you want to build a new one.”
“You’re being overdramatic, Jun,” Reina said, laughing softly. “I’m perfectly fine. I’ve really moved on now, I promise. I’ve calmed down quite a bit since… that incident… and I’ve decided to just forget about it. I won’t be discouraged by this little set back.”
“… Alright, if you say so…” Junjun sighed, giving up. I don’t even want to argue with this girl anymore. Sorry, Kame-chan, you’ll have to be patient for a little longer, since this girl is idiotic enough to lie to herself and not realize it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next is ShigeJun~
I promise TanaKame is coming soon. I promise :kneelbow:
:byebye: :sleep:
-
goodness lin let it slip! XD good luck to herXD
and i swear reina needs a swift kick in the rear for this dillusionalness >.>
-
“She’s not going to eat you,” the leader smirked.
*opens mouth* *closes mouth* *opens mouth* Nah, I'm not going to say it.
“That depends on your definition of ‘eat’,” Aika grumbled, still leering at her girlfriend who was smiling nervously.
*opens mouth* *closes mouth* *opens mouth* Hmm, I really am a pervert... XD
you have to choose whether you want to make that past the future
With Eri. :yep:
or if you want to build a new one.”
With Eri. :yep: I'm not giving the kitty a choice. :lol:
I don’t even want to argue with this girl anymore. Sorry, Kame-chan, you’ll have to be patient for a little longer, since this girl is idiotic enough to lie to herself and not realize it.
I sense an explosion! Ooo~1
And meanwhile, in the JunSayu corner. :P
Oh, Tanagaki next story? I'm trembling just to think about it! I love that pairing. Like, really, Takagaki is :wub: and Tanagaki is 8)
It kinda feels like "What would you do for a Klondike Bar?" Except it's, "What would rndy do for some more Tanagaki around here?"
-
Jun better push it a little more into Reina, but if Reina gets pig-headed, Jun is gonna to have to pound it into her
-
OMG!!! TWO UPDATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! weeeeeeee :cow: :cow: :ptam-kiss:
@mmsuki: ah~ I guess my natural k-drama-ness comes out in even Chigatte mo... sorry, I can't help it :nervous LOL and if i do that, it'll be nothing like harry potter XD
i have no problem having your natural love for kdrama-ness showing up in your writing, in fact its one of the reasons why i love :heart: reading your work. :thumbsup
oh~ sorry, but when someone says fantasy the first thing that pops into my mind is magic and vampires. :nervous so i see i was off the mark then. LOL. i blame the mainstream media!! (Harry Potter and Twilight) :lol:
Chapter 33
i see that misery really loves company. XD at least they have each other for support. :) but i can't believe that Eri advised her friend to still fight for Ai-sensei. i mean 'cmon lets say that TakaGaki does get together but thats not that the end of their problem, in fact it would begin another one. :wth so i think it would be more logical to tell Risa to wait until graduation. then again Eri is not a logical person. LOL :lol:
Chapter 34
“Look at the way she’s clutching her cell phone! Look at the way she’s staring blankly at the wall! She’s obviously been hurt by that no good turtle of a bi—”
i really wanna know the end of that sentence.. XD :P
“That depends on your definition of ‘eat’,”
:mon spit: :kekeke: omg Aika?!.. behave~
i know Reina is in pain in this chapter but i can't help but find her cute and endearing in it. :lol: the always tough yankii princess in such a messy state?! :shocked how often can you see that?! :grin: :thumbup i also 'see' that Junjun is beginning to push Reina in the right direction but to no avail, that is why i am suggesting a throw instead. :P
Everything seems good to me, KameShige, TanaGaki, TanaShige, TanaJun, Reika... I CANT CHOOSE :panic:
but yeah, we'll worry about that later though. i'm probably still gonna have to you guys vote cuz i'm so indecisive. But if by some miracle i end up liking one couple more than the other, i'm just gona choose XD
a TanaGaki sounds good to me :P :grin: and then maybe throw in a Fujimoto Miki or a Goto Maki in the mix, better yet throw them both in.. LOL. that would make one chaotic love square/polygon.. XD
(Goto) x Tanaka+Niigaki x (Fujimoto) = :hee: :luvluv1:
-
And worst of all, the television was on but it was on mute, so the ex-yankii was just staring at the colorful screen. Plus, it was on history channel. That meant there was something seriously wrong with Reina.
This just had me :lol: XD What's wrong with Reina watching the history channel? :P
You know what Jun, you might as just drop the yankii princess right in front of the turtle so they could battle it out :twisted:
(My vote for ReinAi is still valid :heart: )
-
Chapter 32
AiGaki :cry:
“I don’t care for you in that sense,” the teacher said straightforwardly, with the same hard expression. “That’s my main reason for rejecting you. I don’t have the same feelings towards you. I see you as my student—a special student, but a still a student—nothing more, nothing less.”
this definitely hurt :(
This… is the best way… right?
not at all, you should jus grab Gaki and throw her onto the bed..that then is the best way.. :lol: :lol:
Chapter 33
“You’re right, Kameha,” Risa finally said. “I don’t want to give up yet. I’m going to keep on chasing her! I mean, I’ve never liked anybody like this before… and I know I’ll regret it if I let her go this easily.”
it will be fun if Gaki keep on chasing Aichan till Aichan give in.. :lol:
cant wait to see how Gakisan gonna do it..
Chapter 34
“… Alright, if you say so…” Junjun sighed, giving up. I don’t even want to argue with this girl anymore. Sorry, Kame-chan, you’ll have to be patient for a little longer, since this girl is idiotic enough to lie to herself and not realize it.
yes..obviously an idiot..an yankee yet becoming an idiot when it come to love :lol:
need more tanakame!!
they better get back with each other soon XD
next chp is ShigeJun..
cant wait..their relationship is too fun here.. :wub:
And honestly, about the couples for the next fic, i have NO IDEA. :shocked:
(My vote for ReinAi is still valid :heart: )
+ 1
me too..ReinAi will make a awesome pairing imo.. :wub: :wub:
AiMiki imo too..this pairing is famous within chinese fans.. :lol:..yankee miki with a good girl Ai.. :twisted:
KameShige too!! :wub:
-
Whoa~ What's with all the pervy minds out there? :lol: I never thought of something "pervy" when they mention "eat". :roll:
Yeah...blah blah blah, AikaLin will make up anyway, and Reina is acting just like the other too. Falling out of love and watching TV on mute. :O
Reina is a big (fat) liarr~!!! :mon tantrum2:
To be honest, I've never been fond of KameShige, TanaGaki, TanaShige, TanaJun, or Reika.(Guess it's not like HATE) For sure, I'm totally not used to the first three and don't know about the last one... :bleed eyes: TanaJun MIGHT work..? :huhuh But you can throw in more than one couple in a story, right? :mon misch:
-
Oh...Reina is a BIG stubborn!!! :smhid
Can't she just go to Kame and...you know what :w00t:
ShigeJun in next chap might be fun :D
P.S. I don't mind what mainly couple in your new fic. However, you put Aika in, I'll read it and try to comment every chap :bow:
-
Chapter 29
“But Junjun basically just said that Reina is more confused than angry, and that I should give her time to figure it out for herself.
High chance of getting back together :inlove:
“Is there something wrong with that? I love her, okay? Happy?”
And she finally admitted she's in love, ain't that lovely :love:
I’ll tell her. I’ll tell her that I love her and that I want to be with her. Because there is no one else I’d rather think about.
Yay! Go Risa :onioncheer: :onioncheer: :onioncheer:
Chapter 30
“Well, it seemed like the last game was a little too difficult for you, so I went with something easier so you actually have a chance,”
Awww, how considerate :wriggly:
She was wearing a pink knit shirt with a white miniskirt and beige-colored boots. Her entire being was completely mismatched with the location and the atmosphere.
XD
“Jun-senpai sugoii!”
:mon money:
“So tonight, you’ll have to do whatever I say.”
VERY interesting :twisted:
It wasn’t such an unpleasant feeling anyway.
Look at that :inlove:
“She seems to be the most like you.”
“That’s why I’m saying you gotta watch out,” Junjun grinned.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
It wasn’t such a strong band-aid; how did it even stay on for so long?
My guess, strong glue added :grin:
“The regular ones were right there; it was kind of weird that she chose bunny ones. That’s not like her.”
Oh, I was wrong XD
“Only You!”
Aww, how romantic :wriggly:
JunSayu at the rooftop :twothumbs
Chapter 31
“Please refrain from texting during my class, Kukai-kun,” Takahashi-sensei said, smiling brightly.
:shocked
“Now please do me a favor and pick up that chalk behind you? It’s a shame that it broke; it was my last piece.”
OMG! Lovely XD
“By the way, I wasn’t really going to hit you with the chalk,”
Sensei is skillful :O
“Arigatou, Kukai-kun,” she said happily.
Creepy at some point :D but still Lovely
“You have to come!” Risa yelled with a sudden burst of energy. “It’s very important, you have to listen!”
Very persistent young one :D
So there’s no way to avoid this, she thought, sighing. Well, one heart is about to be broken… or two.
Ehh!? :dizzy:
Chapter 32
“Risa-chan, ganbare!” Eri said, giving a very powerful gaze.
“Un!” the bean replied, making a fist. “I’ll do my best!”
“I’ll be cheering for you!” the turtle said, also holding up a fist.
“Yosh!” Risa sighed. “Here I go!”
LOVELY :D
Who else would I confess my love to? What is she even talking about?
XD
“What I mean to say is…” Risa hesitated, fumbling with the cluster of words in her mouth,
Cute :mon inluv:
“I can’t.”
:mon freeze: NOOOOO :OMG:
I see you as my student—a special student, but a still a student—nothing more, nothing less.”
OUCHES to the highest level :fainted:
“That’s it, isn’t it? You don’t feel the same way for me; it was just a one-sided crush… it’s natural for you to reject me…”
:(
“Please don’t,” Risa said, stepping back. “I’m perfectly fine! I’m perfectly…”
Why am I feeling the pain too? :depressed:
This… is the best way… right?
Right? she's not sure?! :fainted:
Chapter 33
They were thinking of their own problems going on at the moment.
Why am I laughing at this XD
Yes, she would see her in class but the bean had taken the effort to run into the room right when the bell rang so Ai would have to start teaching and run out as soon as the ending bell sounded.
Brokenhearted student :D
She knew she should give up now but she couldn’t help it.
That's how love works honey, stubborn and stubborn lol
Eri couldn’t help but think, every day, that Reina had already forgotten about her and moved on.
She has a point
“We’re really pathetic,” Risa suddenly said, breaking the silence. “Look at us, we’re being total bums! The television is on but it’s on mute because we’re too depressed to even watch a show properly.
I'd suggest you two date together but that's just so incest for me :grin:
“But… how am I supposed to act around her, though?” Risa mumbled.
Good question
Chapter 34
“Look at the way she’s clutching her cell phone!
She's waiting for a call :w00t: :mon fyeah:
“You’re just going to leave me?” Linlin asked, her eyes shocked with terror.
Afraid of her own gf XD
I love how Jun handled the group as a whole. And Reina's still in denial mode, what if Eri finally found a way to let go? Though kinda impossible.
Long but very lovely read as always :thumbup
-
You know what would be interesting?
Scene 1:
GakiKame. Watching tv @ Kame's house.
Gaki: Gah!!! :angry: Screw those girls. Lets just hook up.
Kame: :dunno: :on GJ: :shy2:
And GakiKame live happily ever after? Or not.
Scene 2:
2 days later, Reina went to Kame's house...
Reina: :mon love:
Kame: Sorry Reina. You're old news :byebye:
Reina: :mon wtf: :mon unsure: :mon mad: :mon zoom: :mon butt:
Kame: :on kimbo: :on blackhole: :on polter: ........ :imdead:
LOL I shouldn't read when I'm high :lol:
-
@kawaii beam: oh yeah, that is exactly what reina needs... XD
@rndmnwierd: LOL rndy you're interpreting the cute pure moment in a very unnecessary way... WHY OH WHY :lol:
@kurosawa87: lol pound is good :twisted:
@mmsuki: UGH i know. mainstream media... :bleed eyes: again, still don't know about the OGs... I'm not too familiar with them, you see, especially Goto since i never really paid attention to her too much :nervous
@aussie: lol Jun is too cool for that and Reina is supposed to be too cool for history channels :lol:
@alwaysYou: i have no idea which pairing i like the best... i'm still thinking XD
@kano-chan: yeah, i used to never be too sure of any of those couples but i've grown to like all of them... maybe it's cuz i'm just a MM fan in general, my top member is Gakisan but i don't have a least favorite or anything :D
@Shiawase_Honoo: lol don't worry, Aika will be there :lol:
@kRisZ: i REALLY love all those quote by quotes you do... it's very entertaining. and you did some major catching up there XD
@badsaints: LOL if i did that, all the TanaKame fans would stalk me and kill me... :nervous :panic: :bleed eyes: :lol:
thank you for all the comments! i appreciate them a lot~~ :heart: :heart:
i'm trying to write a little now but i have a wedding to go to (not mine, it's just an older friend) so i might not be able to update tonight... :sweatdrop:
but i'll do my best to work fast~ :cow:
-
Excellent two chapters~ Eri and Gaki seems so cute now that they're in the same state and trying to go through it together
As for Reina, I really hope that she figures it out soon
I agree that Jun should just drop Reina smack jab in Eri's house and have them battle out :D
Btw~I agree with half of what badsaints suggested.
I think a good way of making Reina realize her true feelings is basically to let her see Eri and Gaki hang out together
Of course, I do not agree with GakiKame together cus I'm a Tanakamei fan <_<
Like~GakiKame having lunch together on a day where Reina decides to finally pay a visit to Eri
She witnesses the scene and mistaken the whole thing, feeling ubber jealous
Plus, this can also work with Ai-chan too. XD
So, two birds with one stone (or two, since it's GakiKame together)
Please update soon~
-
Chapter 33: man, glad Eri and Gaki got over thier mopfest, Nice to Eri can give a good scoulding when she needs to get Gaki to stop moping, though poor Gaki is right about Ai, even if she dosn't know it!
Chapter 34: Hmm, perhpas Jun's plan maybe backfiring on her just a little bit, though I think perhpas that Jun may have a plan B up her sleave as well?.......
-
you update fast :D
it's good to see GakiKame supporting each other
I want to see Gaki-san chasing Ai-sensei :lol: it would be fun
lastly, Reina no baka! stop being so stubborn :banghead:
-
@sapphire: lol well, I have a different plan in mind but maybe i'll incorporate a little bit of that :D
@oddball: well, Junjun is always mysterious, isn't she? XD
@eruchan: I usually don't update so fast, I don't know what's gotten into me these days :lol:
Hai hai~ here's the next chapter!! :twothumbs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 35
“I thought you felt bad for me that I kept on losing!” Sayumi whined, glaring at the smirking yankii leader.
“I did, but then you slapped me on the rooftop,” Junjun replied nonchalantly. “Then I realized you’re not as weak as I make you out to be.”
“I only did that because you… you…ugh!”
Sayumi let out a loud groan as she stomped her feet down on the ground. Junjun laughed to herself while watching the frustrated bunny turn red at the memory of what happened on the karaoke rooftop. Of course, the panda herself was remembering that night and feeling a bit embarrassed about it but she was better at concealing her emotions.
“Hey, if you really want me to change the challenge, I can do that,” the panda said, smiling sweetly. “After all, it’s no fun if you lose too quickly.”
“I won’t lose!” the bunny yelled, turning red with anger. Ugh, I was wrong to ever think this yankii might have a nice side to her!
“Yeah, we’ll see about that,” Junjun grinned. You’re right, Usa-chan; today is the day you finally win…
With that, the two black-haired girls turned and faced the long track field. The third challenge that the yankii leader had proposed was a very simple running race. Whoever ran a lap around the school track field first would win. The prizes at stake were the same as usual: a day of Sayumi’s services or freedom from Junjun’s association.
The bunny knew deep inside that she couldn’t win this race. Physical activity had always been her weakness; she couldn’t run to save her life. But the panda’s teasing had triggered a sense of persistence in her. She didn’t want Junjun to go easy on her, just because she was weaker. She wanted to defeat her on equal ground. She would probably lose this round again: so what? She can still work hard to win the next challenge. Besides, the last time she lost and had to sacrifice a whole night for Junjun and the gang, it wasn’t so bad. It was rather fun meeting new people and hanging with a group of… fellow girls… like that. She wasn’t sure whether she could call them “friends” yet. Would they allow that?
“Come on, let’s get this over with,” Junjun insisted, stretching out her arms. “I have a room that needs cleaning.”
“In your dreams!” Sayumi retorted, sticking out her tongue.
“Are you guys ready?” Aika called from the sidelines. “The gunshot is the signal, okay?”
“Where’d you get that thing?” Sayumi asked, horrified at the weapon in little Aika’s hand.
“It’s mine,” the younger girl said brightly. “I’ve had it since… oh, I don’t know… middle school?”
“Aika, we’re going to get arrested if you use that thing,” Junjun laughed. “Don’t you have something else to signal us?”
“Aw… But I really wanted to use a gun…” Aika pouted. “It’s what they do at professional races!”
“They don’t use a real shotgun, baka!” Sayumi scolded. “You could get hurt using that thing! Put it away!”
“… Shige-san, you’re worried about me?” Aika said slowly, smiling. “Aw, you really do care for us!”
“H-hardly!” the bunny said quickly. “Now put that gun away!”
“Here, Mittsi, you can use this,” Linlin said, taking out a starter’s gun from under her skirt and handing it to her girlfriend. “This is the actual gun they use in professional races. It fires blanks into the air.”
“Sugoi!” Aika exclaimed, taking the gun. “Arigatou, Linlin!”
“Now, I know you don’t own that thing,” Junjun said, raising an eyebrow. “Did you steal that?”
“I ‘borrowed’ it!” the younger panda grinned. “Don’t worry, senpai, it’s from the gym storage room, not a store. I’ll put it back after.”
“But the storage room can’t be opened without a key,” Sayumi said, cocking her head to the side. “How did you…?”
“I have my ways, Shige-san,” Linlin smiled, winking.
“Okay, let’s get started!” Junjun laughed, changing the subject. “Aika, if you would please.”
“Runners ready!” the young girl yelled.
She raised the starter’s gun in the air. Linlin quickly took out a pair of headphones from her bag and put it over her girlfriend’s ears. Then, she covered her own with her hands. Junjun and Sayumi got in the ready position, with the bunny looking a little bit more awkward.
“Get set!”
“Good luck, Usa-chan,” Junjun whispered. “I hope you win.”
“Huh?” Sayumi said, not sure if she just heard right.
“GO!”
The loud shotgun sounded in the air, sending the bunny and the panda down the track. They seemed to run side-by-side for the first couple of seconds but soon, Junjun had overtaken her opponent in no time. As they reached the curve, the distance between them grew even larger, despite the fact that Sayumi had the inner curve out of Junjun’s courtesy. The bunny was even slower than the panda had predicted.
The two racers reached the straight track again. At this point, Sayumi was severely falling behind the panda. Junjun looked back and rolled her eyes. How could a human being be even slower than a worm? And her nickname was “Usa-chan”… Well, if there was a rabbit breed that was slow, Sayumi was definitely that kind.
The losing competitor was already feeling tired. She wanted to move faster but her legs didn’t permit. She felt like she was in one of those dreams were she was being chased by monsters but for some reason, you just can’t move fast enough… It was more horrifying this time though, since it was reality. Beads of sweat trickled down from her forehead but she didn’t pay attention. All she cared about was finishing this race.
The panda reached the final curve soon. She would’ve already finished if it wasn’t for the pity she felt for the bunny. But she had purposely slowed down to a bit of a jog. She knew she would win if she really tried… But was she trying?
Junjun looked back at the pale-skinned girl, who was using all her energy to continue on forward. The yankii smiled, realizing this kind of Sayumi was more beautiful than the non-smiling, antisocial kind.
You’re really doing your best, huh? She thought. It would be frustrating if your efforts go to waste…
Meanwhile, Sayumi could feel her legs tiring even more. One lap in the track field felt like ten. Her long hair was sticking to the back of her neck, detaching to flow with the wind, and then sticking again. When she reached the final curve, she looked up to spot her opponent, half way from her location to the finish line. Suddenly, the person the bunny was watching fell to the ground and grabbed her feet. Fear washed over Sayumi. What happened? Did Junjun get hurt? How did she fall?
As she jumped into a sprint, things started happening much too quickly for Sayumi to think clearly. Before she knew it, her legs were recharged with a sudden burst of energy and carried her through the curve, right past the panda. She ran on without hearing anything and seeing anything until she finally reached the white paint mark. Exhausted, the bunny fell to the ground on her back, unable to move another muscle. Her entire body ached. Deep in her mind, she wanted to sit up and run over to Junjun to make sure she was safe, but her stamina didn’t allow her to.
“Usa-chan.”
Sayumi slowly opened her eyes to see someone holding her hand out. The bunny grabbed it and pulled herself up to her feet. She kept her hands on her knees, still breathing heavily, as a way to keep herself up. In front of her was Junjun, supported by Aika and Linlin from both sides. She was grinning.
“Looks like you have your first victory there, Usa-chan,” she said. “Congratulations.”
“Junjun, you…” Sayumi wheezed, “you… hurt… no?”
“Eh, it’s no biggie,” the panda said nonchalantly. “It just stings a little. I’ll be fine.”
Only then, the bunny’s eyes traveled down to the yankii leader’s leg. There was a visible bruise on her opponent’s knees, as blood was trickling down to her ankle.
“That’s a no biggie?” Sayumi shrieked, suddenly gaining her voice back from an unknown source. “You have to get it taken care of immediately! You’ll get a scar if you leave it!”
“Yeah, I’ll go to the nurse right now so relax,” Junjun laughed. “And you can stay relaxed, since I’m keeping my side of the promise.”
“What promise?”
“The promise that if you win, I’ll stay away from you forever,” the panda reminded. “Well, I’m a girl of my word. You won’t be seeing too much of me anymore. You’re school life should be a bit more peaceful. Aren’t you glad?”
She was right. Sayumi had finally won. She didn’t have to put up with Junjun and her gang’s teasing anymore. She could stay in the background and have a peaceful normal school life without any unnecessary interruptions. She was finally free.
“… Of course I’m glad,” the bunny said in a low voice. “I’m ecstatic.”
“Geez, be a bit more happy, will you?” Junjun chuckled. “I’m going to go get this treated now before it hurts more. Bye Usa-chan.”
“Have a nice day, Shige-san,” Linlin smiled, her eyes full of regret.
“Bye-bye!” Aika also said, giving a sad smile.
The three yankiis slowly limped away from the track field as they headed towards the school building. Sayumi stood in place for a while, her head filled with so many thoughts.
You won, Sayumi, it’s as simple as that! She thought to herself. I should be happy… so why do I feel so empty?
Meanwhile, the three girls reached the school and walked down the hallway. Junjun removed her arms from around her two lackeys’ shoulders.
“I’ll take it from here,” she said. “It doesn’t hurt that much.”
“Suit yourself,” Linlin said.
As Junjun limped along, her two kouhais walked slowly beside her.
“I saw, you know,” Aika suddenly said.
“See what?”
“You, stepping on your own foot,” the young girl replied, biting her lip. “Nobody is stupid enough to do that accidently at the speed you were going. I could count the number of steps you were taking because you were just that slow compared to your usual speed.”
“I gotta hand it to you, Mittsi,” Junjun laughed. “You were always sharp.”
“Why’d you do it?” Aika asked, still serious. “You knew what was at stake; why did you lose on purpose?”
“… It was time to let her go,” the older panda sighed. “I’ve been kind of cruel to her all along. I mean, I’ve hit on other girls before but they eventually wanted to be with me. So I let them. But with Sayumi… she still didn’t want me. So I let her go. I don’t want to force her into anything.”
“… You really cared about her,” Linlin said.
“Did I?” Junjun chuckled.
“It’s a shame,” the younger panda sighed. “I really genuinely liked Shige-san, unlike the other girls Jun-senpai hit on…”
“Me too,” Aika mumbled. “She could be kind of rude but she had her sweet moments. I really liked her.”
Yeah, Junjun thought, smiling sadly. Me too…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh yeah, I did it. evil, huh? :twisted:
Don't worry guys, I'm still a sucker for happy endings. :P
Next is TakaGaki...
and then a very special/pivotal chapter. And then an even more special chapter after that. I'll leave that for you guys to ponder over :D
:byebye: :sleep:
-
chyeahh~!! an UPDATE :)
awwhhh poor little rabbit~ she's all lonely now :bigdeal:
junjun is so nice though :thumbup linlin and aika were cute in this :lol:
ohh snappp. takagaki's next?
sensei's gonna... :ding:
haha. looking forward to it ^^
-
You won, Sayumi, it’s as simple as that! She thought to herself. I should be happy… so why do I feel so empty?
:cry:
Oh yeah, I did it. evil, huh? :twisted:
Yes :angry:
Don't worry guys, I'm still a sucker for happy endings. :P
Yay! :otomerika:
Next is TakaGaki...
and then a very special/pivotal chapter. And then an even more special chapter after that. I'll leave that for you guys to ponder over :D
Yay~! TakaGaki :gmon twirl: I can't wait!
-
Sayu wins the race and yet she feels bad that she gets to be away from Jun, hmm the feelings :lol:
-
Update!!! :cow:
Sayu slower than a worm.... :hiakhiakhiak:
Noooo! If Jun was so smart, why didn't she realize that Sayu had already opened up to her?? :mon headbang: But this is just wayy more interesting~ :mon dance:
Geeezz... She even fixed herself a real injuring. :O Is it really worth it? ;)
Now Sayu is going to be sooo lonely... :( .. :twisted:
TakaGaki~ :heart:
-
Ahh, I do love the classic set-ups!
Jun feels all bad for Sayu because she really does like her but she thinks that Sayu will never love her in return and so does the noble thing and lets Sayu win and Sayu, who has wanted to be free of JunJun, suddenly feels that that isn't what she wants at all but dosn't say anything to Jun at the time.......
As you said Sarang your a suker for happy endings.... right? :cry:
"But the storage room can’t be opened without a key,” Sayumi said, cocking her head to the side. “How did you…?”
“I have my ways, Shige-san,” Linlin smiled, winking.
:lol: Sayu does know these girls are actually Yankii's right?
Also why does Aika with a shotgun worry me alot, even though she just wants to start a race with it! :panic:
-
YESSS! SHOTGUN TOTING MITTSI! FTW!1!
LINLIN'S FOUTH-DIMENSIONAL POCKET UNDER HER SKIRT! I DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S UP WITH THAT!!
You inspire the caps lock in me.
in case anyone was wondering how a schoolgirl could be carrying a shotgun around in public, she wasn't. Because it was UNDER LINLIN'S SKIRT!
I know its not that kinda story, but I still wanna see Aika blow someone's face off.
-
Oh...good girl JunJun :cry:
Well, maybe I can guess what was Sayu think of XD
But you're so evil for cutting it to the end of chap like this :cry:
And I still like your writing style, even it always make me mummle to myself that it too short sometimes :nervous
Next chap might be more fun :w00t:
-
slow usa-chan :nervous
but sayu is so easy to manipulate :lol:
junjun what did you do? sayu is going to miss you :cry:
they really need to stop lying to themselves and just be buddy2 :doh:
-
She challenged the bunny to a race and then expected it to be easy to lose? :lol: There is still much to learn about Sayu, I guess. Too bad she did eventually lose. I wonder how long until Sayu swallows her pride and comes back to Jun?
So Takagaki, yay! Then a 'pivotal' chapter? :? Hmm, what does that mean?
-
@taylortot: LOL i don't know if Sensei will actually do anything... :D
@XcuteX: lol I have a balance of my evil/nice moments XD
@kurosawa87: oh yeah, it's confusing :P
@kano-chan: psht, such a small(?) injury is nothing to the great panda :lol:
@oddball: lol somehow, it's really fun for me to imagine innocent Aika/Linlin playing with big weapons... they actually major skills, u kno? :lol:
@gracula: LOL GLAD TO INSPIRE THE CAPSLOCK IN YOU :w00t:
@Shiawase_Honoo: yeah, sorry for writing so little these days. I'm just trying to keep the story moving quickly so I don't drag out too long... since I usually don't update so quickly anyway, you kno? :nervous
@eruchan: buddy buddy sounds good... later :twisted:
@rndmnwierd: pivotal means... pivotal :lol: you'll see~ :D
Thank you so much for the comments guys~
I'm working on the next chapter right now but I have an exam tomorrow so don't know how that will turn out... :nervous
-
T___T Bye ShigeJun... just for now :twisted:
I know Shige will miss them a lot :inlove:
She already fell for that big panda XD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 36
The beautiful woman kept her eyes on the computer screen, consistently tapping the keyboards without stop. Her colleagues were chatting amongst themselves as they dropped their work during the lunch period. But the woman preferred to continue working; she didn’t want to risk leaving her work undone.
“Okay, listen up, everyone!” the gym teacher, Yoshizawa-sensei said. “I’m going to run down to the convenience store and get some lunch for myself. Anybody want me to pick up something?”
“Oh! Can you get me a tuna sandwich?” Fujimoto-sensei said.
“I’ll take a coffee, Hii-chan,” Yasuda-sensei requested.
All the other teachers started to make their orders as Yoshizawa-sensei slowly shook her head.
“I can’t bring all that back myself, much less remember it,” she moaned. “Can someone come with me?”
“I’ll go,” Ishikawa-sensei said, standing up.
“Thanks, Rika-chan,” Yoshizawa-sensei sighed. “We’ll be back in 10 minutes!”
The two teachers started to leave the teacher’s lounge before Rika pulled Hitomi back by her sleeve. She nodded at the only teacher who was still seated at her desk, typing away furiously. Hitomi sighed as she chuckled to herself. Rika rolled her eyes and also smiled. She walked over to the working colleague and placed her hand on her shoulder, causing the younger teacher to jump.
“Sorry, Takahashi-sensei,” Rika giggled. “Did I startle you?”
“Ah, Ishikawa-sensei,” Ai sighed. “Um, did you need something?”
“Hii-chan and I were just going to run down to the convenience store,” the older teacher said. “Do you want us to bring you back something?”
“Ah… no, thank you,” Ai smiled. “I don’t want anything.”
“Are you on a diet or something, Takahashi-sensei?” Hitomi asked, raising an eyebrow. “Because you don’t need to be, you know? I haven’t seen you eat lunch in weeks. When you first came, you had those onigiri from the store.”
“I’m starting to wake up earlier to have bigger breakfasts,” Ai explained. “I guess it lasts me through the day without lunch.”
“Oh… well, if you need anything, just give us a call, okay?” Rika said, smiling.
“I will, thank you.”
The two older teachers turned and walked out of the teacher’s lounge. Takahashi-sensei immediately turned back to her computer and placed her fingers on the keyboard and continued typing. Her stomach made a low growling sound as her face scrunched up. Big breakfast? What a joke. She always woke up late because of all the dreams of her grandmother that she had at night. So rather than having a big breakfast, she often ran out with an energy bar in her mouth. So by lunch time, she was usually famished.
But for some reason, Ai couldn’t get herself to each convenience store food anymore. Ever since her class representative had started to bring her food, she had gotten way too used to homemade bento. But since that student had been avoiding her for the past two weeks, Takahashi-sensei hadn’t had lunch in two weeks either. She would often regret her decision halfway through the afternoon but she still couldn’t help but skip lunch. So she would often run home and fill her stomach with food in late afternoon, as an early dinner.
And she was way too worried to eat anyway. All she could think about was Risa these days. She would wonder about how much she had hurt the young girl when she said she didn’t care for her. She would wonder about how angry, how miserable the girl might have been that day. Had Ai made the right choice in the end? Even if she went along with Risa’s wishes, nothing would’ve come of it. The end would eventually be the most painful blow of all and the teacher had no desire to put the bean through that.
Suddenly, an ice-cold sensation was felt on Takahashi-sensei’s cheek. The teacher jumped, letting out a loud man-scream. She whipped around with wide eyes to spot an unexpected person behind her, suppressing her laughter.
“Gaki-san!” Ai yelled. “What are you—”
“Shh!” the student hushed, putting a finger to her lips. She nudged her head to the back, where a group of teachers sitting around a coffee table were staring at Takahashi-sensei, alarmed by her loud scream. Ai laughed nervously.
“Haha… sorry about that,” she mumbled.
“Mou, sensei, you’re really loud,” Risa giggled. “And you seemed so lifeless just a second again, with your shoulders all droopy and stuff.”
“Gaki-san, what are you doing here?” Ai whispered, still shocked by the sudden appearance of the girl who had avoided her all these days.
“Well, you seemed a little down today,” the bean grinned, holding up a can of soda, “so I brought you a drink. You did the same for me last time, didn’t you?”
“I-I think so…”
“And I brought you lunch,” Risa continued, holding up a bento box in her other hand. “Mou, sensei, have you been skipping lunch these days? I always hear from the next door class that you’re so lifeless during lecture.”
“Well… I’ve been… wait, I’m still…” Ai mumbled, still not comprehending this situation. Was this a dream? Why was Risa being so friendly towards her? It was as if the confession had never happened.
“Come on, sensei, let’s go eat outside,” the student grinned. “If we don’t go now, the lunch period will be over before we know it!”
With that, the bean quickly shoved the soda can in her teacher’s hand as she grabbed the other wrist. Then, she pulled Ai out of her chair and quickly dragged her out of the teacher’s lounge before she could be asked any questions. She skittered down the hallway, through the doors, and out to the courtyard until she finally reached the big tree where she had been rejected two weeks ago. Risa let go of her teacher, who was still catching her breath from the running, and sank down to the grass. She opened the bento and presented her good old homemade food to the teacher.
“Sit down, Sensei,” Risa ordered, looking up.
Still confused, Ai slowly kneeled and sat down on the grass. The bean inched over closer until their arms barely touched and grabbed the chopsticks. She reached for the chicken in the bento, picked it up, and held it up to her teacher’s mouth.
“Ah~” she said. “Come on, Sensei, open your mouth!”
“A-ah…”
Risa put the chicken in and pulled the chopsticks back. She carefully watched her teacher chew the food as she bit her lips.
“How is it?” she asked softly?
“It’s very good…” Ai said, swallowing the food. She smiled a little, unable to help but be pleased with this situation. Yes, she was still wondering if this was a dream but she didn’t care if it was. She was happy now and she was going to savor this moment.
“Here, have some more,” Risa insisted with a big grin on her face.
The teacher took the chopsticks from her student and started to dig in. Everything she ate felt just right in her stomach. She had missed this kind of food for the past two weeks. And as she finished up the bento without question, she slowly convinced herself that this wasn’t a dream since the food tasted pretty real.
“Slow down, Sensei, you’re going to be sick later if you keep that up,” Risa chuckled, opening the soda can and handing it to the older woman.
Ai silently took the drink and gulped it down along with the food in her mouth. She exhaled heavily as she put the empty bento down on the grass.
“That was heavenly, Gaki-san,” Ai laughed. “I missed your cooking.”
“Really?” Risa asked, her eyes sparkling. “I’ll start to make them again, everyday.”
“… Why?” the teacher asked slowly, now turning to look at her student with a serious yet curious expression.
“What do you mean why?” the bean said, raising an eyebrow.
“Why are you suddenly like this again?” Ai rephrased. “Why did you suddenly come with a bento again? Why aren’t you avoiding me anymore?”
“… I’ve decided,” Risa said, closing the bento box and looking up with a small smile. “I’ve decided that, even if you don’t hold the same feelings for me, the feelings I have for you are still special, no matter what. And I want to continue to treasure those feelings. That’s why I won’t give up, Sensei. I’m going to chase after you. I’m going to follow you around in school like a teacher’s pet and get you look at me.”
Ai let out a sigh. She slowly started to shake her head. “Gaki-san—”
“Sensei, can ask you a favor?” Risa interrupted quickly, staring at her teacher with determined eyes.
“… What is it?”
“Will you give me permission…” the bean started, biting her lips, “to continue loving you?”
“Gaki-san, I already told you that I don’t—”
“I know you don’t have the same feelings for me as I do for you,” Risa said quickly. “But… I still can’t stop my own heart. I’m only human. I… I won’t bother you or anything so please just… just let me love you by myself. Just let me continue to stay beside you like this. Will you give me permission?”
“… I don’t want you to waste your time on me, Gaki-san,” Ai said in a low voice.
“You’re cruel, Sensei,” the younger girl chuckled. “Saying that me chasing my love is a waste of time…”
“That’s not what I—”
“I don’t need anything from you, Sensei,” the bean said, grinning. “Just… just know that there’s a girl named Niigaki Risa who is sincerely in love with you. And that’ll satisfy me. So can I run after you?”
“… Well, I’m only human too,” Takahashi-sensei sighed. “I can’t stop you from yourself either. It’s your choice.”
“Thank you,” Risa said softly.
She looked down and smiled to herself, happy that her teacher didn’t reject her this time around. Subconsciously, she reached for Ai’s hand that was on her lap and let her own skin touch with Ai’s. But the teacher immediately pulled the hand away and even turned her head to the side. Risa took her hand away as well and bit down on her lips, embarrassed by her own actions. However, part of her felt angry about how Ai just seemed so cautious around her now. She wanted things to be normal again. Maybe it would never be like it was before her confession but it would be nice to get things as normal as it can be.
Frustrated, Risa looked up again and leered at her teacher. Before she could stop herself, she craned her neck forward and quickly pecked Ai on her cheek. The older woman whipped around with a soft gasp as she put her hand to her cheek. Risa could immediately feel her cheeks burning up as she met her teacher’s wide eyes.
“You… S-stop being so awkward, Sensei!” the bean blurted out, frowning. “Be more normal! Mou!”
Before Ai could even reply back, Risa picked herself up along with the bento box and ran out of the courtyard. Takahashi-sensei exhaled sharply, and started to laugh.
I’m the one who just got attacked and she’s yelling at me? She thought, chuckling.
She sighed and leaned back against the tree. She ran her fingers through her hair and smiled sadly.
You’re really killing my resolution here, Gaki-san…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Haruka: there's your kiss. :twisted: XD
So... the pivotal chapter is next... and then special chapter... yeah, that's all i'm telling you XD
No, i'm not even gonna tell you who's in it. WHAT. :twisted: :twisted:
I'm feeling so evil these days~~ :kekeke:
:byebye: :sleep:
-

-
Risa steps up and feels a little better about what she was feeling but I guess she just wants to be around her
-
hurrayyyy for gaki-san :heart:
haha it was cute ^^
...still waiting for tanakame :onioncheer:
-
eeeehhh~?!!! geez~ i'm admiring risa's perseverance, though her actions were pretty dumb and embarrassing.
niigaki-san! she just let ya love her, not to kiss and touch her hand XD hahaha. that's fun. you're so aho~ you're like kamei now..
..pfftt~
-
Yay finally Gaki-san is back in the game!!! Go get your sensei she's waiting for ya!! :twothumbs
For the pivotal chapter I'm guessing for an encounter by chance for TanaKame at the convenience store where they first met and then Reina will decide that she doesn't care anymore about Eri's gender and go for it :yep:
And then the special chapter will be Eri and Reina getting back together... Gah there's no smiley with stars in the eyes, I need that one :lol:
-
All she could think about was Risa these days. She would wonder about how much she had hurt the young girl when she said she didn’t care for her. She would wonder about how angry, how miserable the girl might have been that day.
Ah, yeah, uh-huh. Now~ she's thinking about it.
Ai mumbled, still not comprehending this situation. Was this a dream?
:lol: I love "caught off guard" Ai.
“Ah~” she said. “Come on, Sensei, open your mouth!”
“A-ah…”
:lol: :lol: :wub:
“That was heavenly, Gaki-san,” Ai laughed. “I missed your cooking.”
“Really?” Risa asked, her eyes sparkling.
Ai: :mon corn: :mon noodle: :mon thumb:
Gaki: :wriggly: :luvluv2:
That’s why I won’t give up, Sensei. I’m going to chase after you. I’m going to follow you around in school like a teacher’s pet and get you look at me.”
Me: FUKU YEAH!! :mon lovelaff:
Before she could stop herself, she craned her neck forward and quickly pecked Ai on her cheek. The older woman whipped around with a soft gasp as she put her hand to her cheek. Risa could immediately feel her cheeks burning up as she met her teacher’s wide eyes.
I could add a billion monkey and onion-guy emotes for this. XD XD
You’re really killing my resolution here, Gaki-san…
Yesss~! Kill it! :shifty:
Want pivotal!! Want special!! Want want want!! :on comhere: :mon headbang: :mon closeup: :mon woo: :mon fire: :on voodoo: :on kimbo: :on speedy: :mon unsure: :on beatup :mon surr:
Also, emote abuse! *runs from emote police* :lol: :lol:
-
LOL...Ai-chan's man scream pretty much ruined the sweet moment! :mon lmao:
Gaki is so brave. How can she say such embarrassing lines? :heart:
That KISS was so cute! :mon lovelaff: Omg!
Their reaction after the kiss was GOLD! :mon money: XD
Your dark side is constantly growing.... :on ksweat:
-
Yeah! Go get your girl pro-active Gaki! :lol:
This sort of complete switch of positions was great where we had nervous bumbling Ai and confident Gaki, though I think that maybe Gaki got a bit over confident with the kiss :doh: seems as though she was more shocked than Ai about it! :lol:
Mind you, it didn't seem that Ai wasd that bothered by it, infact Ai seemed pleased.......
-
aww... Ai-sensei miss her iinchou :P
aggresive Gaki-san is :heart: though her lines are so cheezy and embarrasing to read XD
Ai-sensei is so cute :lol:
-
@Haruka: lol I wasn't planning to put that in but it was just for you~~ XD
@kurosawa87: yup. that'll satisfy her... for now :D
@taylortot: oh we're getting there~ :P
@aya-chii: lol too crazy in love with sensei, that's why :lol:
@Tchips: lol nice prediction. but~ NO :twisted: and looking for this? --> :ding:
@rndmnwierd: LOL I love your emoticons~~~ :twothumbs
@kano-chan: sweetie, it's been growing since i was born :twisted:
@oddball: lol Gaki is trying to be more normal but she just loves her teacher too much~ :lol:
@eruchan: lol "cheesy" is my middle name XD
So yeah~ sorry for the incredibly cheesy, corny lines~ that's the second word to describe me after EBIL :lol:
So I'm writing the next chapter right now... because I'm snowed in and I can't go outside :lol:
And I'm also planing the next couple chapters and brainstorming about TanaKame... oh yeah :twothumbs
-
Nevermind my search for that smiley, I hadn't seen the 'more' button just below the usual emoticones... I was looking for something like that :wriggly: :mon cute: You know.. big... cute... teary eyes that you make when you're nearing Christmas ^^
BUT! You're not going with my idea for the next chapter so there's no need for them anymore lol
-
That's it!!!! :inlove:
Nothing to say, just wait for next chappy :wub:
-
O_O I feel honored :bow:
Thanks so much =D
-
@Tchips: lol yeah, i have the next 10 chapters planned so... XD
@Shiawase_Honoo: lol wait one more day? :nervous
@Haruka: lol no prob~ :lol:
So... I was gonna update tonight.... then I lost track of time... and now, it's only like, three-quarters done :sweatdrop:
So I'll update tomorrow... :nervous
I'm really sorry, but i have to go to bed now; big day tomorrow :)
So instead, just for chatting sake: I made an error in my plot :shocked
I completely forgot that I used the buono girls in the Cafe Buono scene from the early chapters, where TanaKame had the couple game... But I recycled Miya and Airi in Junjun's gang by mistake... my bad :banghead:
From here on out, they're part of the gang, not the cafe! I don't think I'm ever bringing the same cafe back... if i need a cafe, i'll make a new one :nervous
Again, sorry about that :kneelbow:
One more thing: So I recently found out the next e-Hello DVD series person is Reina! It's untitled but the picture released the exact image I have of Reina from this fic:
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/2097/dvdlrg.jpg)
I actually imagine her with straight long hair a lot but the bun works too. The point is that she has a very natural look, unlike the pigtails and glitters and ribbons she usually has on, you kno? :D
Okay, so that was just my fail rant. I'll definitely update tomorrow! :twothumbs
:byebye: :sleep:
-
Someone should make an anime out of this- the kiss scene was classic.
Looking forward to your next update already.
-
Okay, so SarangAi, I have to confess, you are an extremely good updater… in a little over two weeks, you’ve gotten about 6 chapters out already. That would be something of a miracle for me :nervous but yes, first of all, just wanted to thank you for putting in the effort to get these out very quickly, and keeping the pace up *thumbs up* You always impress me with the rate of your updating…
Well anyway… first thing’s first: about the poll… XD
I’m a little bummed that everybody is choosing school life again… but on the other hand, I’m glad to hear that you will have more in store for us than just pretty girls in uniform. I personally picked fantasy (I’m a fan, what can I say :wub:). Action, fantasy or sci-fi; any of these would be really interesting to see – a far cry from what you’ve shown us of your stories so far, and that was where my genuine interest came from. K-drama/school life are kind of meh at this point since you’ve already satisfied these genres quite well. ^__^
OK – so 6 chapters. Let’s go through them. YOSH! :cow: :cow: :cow:
Chapter 30:
Wow. I think this must be the longest of all the chapters you’ve written for this story so far. I loved the length! <3 You should write more lengthy ones like this, it really helps with the momentum, imo.
Anyway… a great update with this one; JunSayu progressing very nicely with their relationship… this is the kind of progression I would’ve personally liked to have seen in TanaKame… but I’m not complaining, I’m totally digging this couple right now!
Sayu taking on yet another challenge.. lol. I’d love for her to go through these tests every week. Nothing like a bit of weekly (or should we say daily? xD) JunSayu bonding, seriously <3
Nice intro’ing some of the c-ute and Berryz girls into this xD For a bunch of delinquents, they sure are a nice group, inviting out loser Sayu to hang and have fun with them ^___^ if they didn’t have that kind of label, I would’ve mistaken them for some kind of peer support group :nervous it’s really nice to see Sayu being pushed to come out of her shell a little, and try to mingle…
“You… you better not be thinking of…” Sayumi mumbled, starting to blush.
“Thinking of… what?”
“You know… that… I’m not going to do that with you!”
LOL.
Sayu <3
Stop giving Jun ideas <3
xD
And all that karaoke fun!!!! Watching as Sayu slowly joined in, it was a very nice to read about *___*
As Sayumi watched everybody enjoying themselves, she found herself pleasantly surprised. All these girls were yankiis in a delinquent gang yet they were still having fun just like regular teenagers.
These yankiis I guess are the gentle kind; I would really like for you to one day maybe write about REAL yankiis, the unforgiving, merciless kind that you really might find in the yakuza :twisted:
As much as gentle yankiis are cool, they’re not edgy enough to make things as exciting as it could be…
And Jun swinging down floors via a tree? :lol:
Now that’s something that would be really funny to read about!
She quickly looked at the panda next to her, who was drinking some soda out of a glass. When she put down the cup, Sayumi could see that the bunny band-aid that she had used earlier was still on Junjun’s hand.
:wub: :wub: :wub:
ZOMG!
Junjun with a bunny band-aid?!?!? I vote that the cutest thing I’ve read in this story so far! :3
Junjun started to sing a long solo to herself again as Sayumi danced and bobbed along. She knew all the girls were watching her but surprisingly, she didn’t feel embarrassed. She didn’t care if she looked good or bad; all she cared about was keeping this energy inside of her at a high level. She didn’t care whether she sounded bad or not
….
Junjun sang the chorus, staring right at her with a smile. Sayumi wasn’t afraid to sing to her this time around either.
“Only, only, only, only, only!”
:onioncheer:
Sayu opening up and enjoying life again! <3 I really like the way you described and built up this scene. Nice. :thumbsup
JunSayu duet FTW! <3 So cute. :3
Sayumi snatched the cigarette from the panda’s hand but immediately dropped it when her skin felt like it had been burned. She had obviously grabbed it by the wrong end. But she ignored her pain and quickly stepped on the cigarette to grind it on the concrete.
“Hey, you have to be careful!” Junjun yelled, taking Sayumi’s hand and observing her fingers. “You don’t seem that badly burned, thank goodness…”
Both of them caring about each other in different ways *sighs* I really wanted to scream to them to get together already… ‘coz ya know, at this point, they should be butting heads and everything. This is a rivalry, after all. But ever so slowly, their actions are betraying this fact.
Sayu gets bonus points because she damned that cigarette to hell, where it belongs. :)
“Your welcome,” Junjun smiled. “But be careful next time, okay?”
“No, not my finger,” Sayumi said, shaking her head. “I’m saying… just thanks… for letting me hang out here today.”
:shocked:
The first acknowledgement from Sayu that she appreciates Jun. YATTA! <3
All the JunSayu talk later I really enjoyed… getting to know a bit more about each other. Yet again signs that they’re willing to move past their differences…
“Well, you can say whatever you want to me. I’ll be listening to you.”
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww~!
*Bee melts into puddle of goo*
Unconsciously, the panda swooped forward and met the bunny’s lips with her own. She gently moved against the soft skin, unable to stop her actions. She wanted to kiss her. She wanted to kiss her so much, she didn’t care much for the consequences. But why…?
:mon inluv: :mon inluv: :mon inluv:
Why Junjun asks? Isn’t it obvious? xD
But unfortunately, her first reaction was to slap Junjun across her face.
Much like the first time this happened, if I recall correctly? >____<
Sayu just isn’t certain enough about her feelings towards Jun, and her well-built defensive instincts kicking in big time here.
I’m not too worried though. Like you said, you are SarangAi, and you’re a sucker for happy endings. I have a gut feeling JunSayu will end happily too. xD hehe..
Chapter 31:
Yeah, she’s totally hot, the boy thought as he texted his friend in another classroom. I don’t really care about history and all but I could seriously listen to this shit all day if I can stare at her bod—
:lol:
If I were in this class, I’d fangirl Takahashi sensei with him… :wriggly:
I can’t imagine a soul out there who could think any less of Ai-chan.
“Thank you,” the teacher said. “Now please do me a favor and pick up that chalk behind you? It’s a shame that it broke; it was my last piece.”
…
“By the way, I wasn’t really going to hit you with the chalk,” Ai said, smiling. “I just wanted to get your attention a little.”
:OMG:
…
*speechless*
Where did THAT come from?!?!?!
I have a feeling Ai’s got more history she’s been hiding from her Gaki-san… :lol:
Scary Takahashi sensei is scary… >____>
She turned to look at Eri, who had a very confused expression on. Obviously, the turtle was still a little slow at understanding Ai’s character.
:rofl:
I can totally see that face. We’ve only seen it a few thousand times during her time in Momusu. XD
Makes me want to squish her X3
“I’m sorry to ask you this at the last minute,” the student started, “but will you be able to meet me after school today by the courtyard tree where we always eat? I have… uh… something to tell you.”
:bleed eyes:
I had the WORST feeling in the pit of my stomach reading through this.
… Ai’s rejection is inevitable, isn’t it?
So there’s no way to avoid this, she thought, sighing. Well, one heart is about to be broken… or two.
:farofflook:
NNOOOOOOOOO!!!! Ai-chan ;_________;
So she really, really, really does care for the bean deep down… >_____>
*Bee is sad*
Chapter 32:
Stop babbling, Risa, you sound like an aho. What are you, Kameha?
That wasn’t a very nice thought, Gaki-san… XD
But thank you for the laugh, anyhow :lol:
Oh. Please get ready for your rejection too. :badluck:
“What I mean to say is…” Risa hesitated, fumbling with the cluster of words in her mouth, “I think… I’ve fallen in love with you. No, I know that I’m in love with you! I really like you and I want to be with you, Sensei… and if you will accept my feelings—”
“I can’t.”
Risa looked up with wide eyes as she got a clear look at her teacher’s face. Ai’s expression was hardened as she was gently biting down on her bottom lip. She was avoiding eye contact with the bean but the aura she was giving off was enough to give Risa a hint.
:fainted: :mon cry:
This… was really heartbreaking. . . . . . . . . *Bee cries for Gaki-san*
Reading through most of this chapter, I felt somehow really embarrassed for Risa. >.<
“… Gaki-san, you’re a very beautiful girl,” Ai started, stilling keep her gaze to the side. “You’re smart and kind and pure and everything that I ever wanted to be. Thanks to you, I think I’ve achieved maybe a quarter of what you are. But I still don’t want someone like me to be with a girl like you. You should find a more a suitable person your own age.”
LOOK AT AI-CHAN IN DENIAL!!!!
:mon whine: :scolding:
Gosh… look at what she thinks of the bean ( :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: ), and then to end everything by simply saying she doesn’t want somebody like her to be with Risa. Those kinds of rejections are the worst; they’re frustrating, and sound like excuses. Might as well say, “I don’t want to be with you.”
* RISA GETS VERY ANGRY AT SENSEI*
Even in her state, she was able to scold her teacher like that. ;______;
“That’s my main reason for rejecting you. I don’t have the same feelings towards you. I see you as my student—a special student, but a still a student—nothing more, nothing less.”
OUCH.
Ai should’ve said that first thing. And save Risa all that embarrassing talk. =____________=
Suddenly, the short-haired girl felt something wet traveling down her cheeks. Before she knew it, her entire face felt soaked. How odd… she was smiling, yet the tears were uncontrollable… because they were tears from the heart. A young 17-year-old girl could only contain so much emotion.
:gyaaah: :gyaaah: :gyaaah: :gyaaah:
This part really got to me… poor thing.
She clenched her hand into a fist as if to hold on to something, to herself.
This… is the best way… right?
:tantrum:
YOU DUMMY!
:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
Chapter 33 & 34:
The gloominess of both these fics (Kamei/Gaki & Reina, respectively) was kinda fun to read, albeit a little depressing. But knowing you SarangAi, you can't leave them hanging all sad and angsty like this for too long.
So... in these two chapters… everybody kinda just @___@ about their situations… but of course, with the sharing of such feelings, and the supportive characters, we have two chapters here where the encouragement of best friends reigns supreme. While it may not have reached out to the reluctant Reina as much, GakiKame are able to give each an extremely needed morale boost. <333
“We’re really pathetic,” Risa suddenly said, breaking the silence. “Look at us, we’re being total bums! The television is on but it’s on mute because we’re too depressed to even watch a show properly. That has got to be the most fail thing I have done in my life.”
:lol:
I’m glad somebody noticed.
GakiKame depressed isn’t how it’s supposed to be! These two fun-loving kookies need to be mucking around and joking, that’s the only image I have of them in my head ^^;
But they finally were able to get out of the slump and feel motivated to do something. I’m surprised it was the turtle that managed to give such good advice, to start off this chain reaction of good feelings. Why didn’t this happen a little earlier? XD
“You have to look at her with your heart, Senpai!” Linlin sighed.
LIN LIN! :nya:
“You’re being overdramatic, Jun,” Reina said, laughing softly. “I’m perfectly fine. I’ve really moved on now, I promise. I’ve calmed down quite a bit since… that incident… and I’ve decided to just forget about it. I won’t be discouraged by this little set back.”
“… Alright, if you say so…” Junjun sighed, giving up. I don’t even want to argue with this girl anymore. Sorry, Kame-chan, you’ll have to be patient for a little longer, since this girl is idiotic enough to lie to herself and not realize it.
Perfectly fine… pfffffffftttt.
Reina can delude herself all she wants, but it’s sorely obvious she’s still attached to the turtle.
I am once again, delighted that Jun is such an awesome character. I might’ve given up in such a situation, but she still holds onto the faith that Reina and Eri can get back together. <333
Chapter 35:
:cow: :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow:
This chapter was a bit of an awwwwww~ chapter for me...
Jun Jun letting play thing Sayu go, finally, realising that that deep down, she cares for the bunny... and bunny herself unsure about what to do with the sudden feelings of emptiness now that she's free. I agree, Sayu, nothing like a few challenges to do a week to keep the adrenalin pumping and school life more interesting than it should be. :thumbsup
The whole little yankii gang here was really cute! :heart: their little conversations with each other are always amusing to read :lol:
“Aika, we’re going to get arrested if you use that thing,” Junjun laughed. “Don’t you have something else to signal us?”
“Aw… But I really wanted to use a gun…” Aika pouted. “It’s what they do at professional races!”
:luvuluvu:
What a cute little yankii this one is... lol
Junjun looked back at the pale-skinned girl, who was using all her energy to continue on forward. The yankii smiled, realizing this kind of Sayumi was more beautiful than the non-smiling, antisocial kind.
You’re really doing your best, huh? She thought. It would be frustrating if your efforts go to waste…
And then Jun gives it up.
Like I said. Junjun RULES. <3
“… You really cared about her,” Linlin said.
“Did I?” Junjun chuckled.
“It’s a shame,” the younger panda sighed. “I really genuinely liked Shige-san, unlike the other girls Jun-senpai hit on…”
“Me too,” Aika mumbled. “She could be kind of rude but she had her sweet moments. I really liked her.”
Yeah, Junjun thought, smiling sadly. Me too…
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww.
:mon cry: :mon cry:
Touching little bit at the end here… I wonder how JunSayu will happen now, though XD
Looking forward to it!
Chapter 36:
First of all, YAY for another TakaGaki chapter! :wub:
Secondly, I like that this chapter is on a much more positive note; the last few chapters have been kinda gloomy with these two, so it's nice to see Risa acknowledging her feelings and taking charge. :yep:
You also had very slight undertones of IshiYoshi here, which I always enjoy reading, of course :inlove:
And a school that has Rika, Yossie, Mikitty & Ai-chan as teachers?! :dizzy:
I'd go back to school and study just to be around them... :luvluv2:
Ever since her class representative had started to bring her food, she had gotten way too used to homemade bento. But since that student had been avoiding her for the past two weeks, Takahashi-sensei hadn’t had lunch in two weeks either.
Awwwww~
Poor Ai-chan!!! ;_____;
That's quite bittersweet right there... she's obviously missing that great homemade food, made with such love :(
And she was way too worried to eat anyway. All she could think about was Risa these days.
Well, there ya go...
TakaGaki! :cow:
The next part when Gaki-san does a sneak attack and pretty much drags Ai out of the teaher's lounge - are you sure it's okay for something like that to happen? XD
Even more so in Japan, where teacher respect is way up there... I kind of found this bit a little strange to read (was expecting maybe a Nakazawa sensei to come out and slap the bean off Ai-chan and spend the lunch disciplining her.. :P).
“Ah~” she said. “Come on, Sensei, open your mouth!”
“A-ah…”
As sweet as that should be, I was again, a little weirded out XD
I guess even after all my TakaGaki raving, I still can't forget that the two of them are teacher-student... if this was something that happened away from the school grounds, with Ai-chan out of teacher mode, I may have done a bit of squealing :3
“That was heavenly, Gaki-san,” Ai laughed. “I missed your cooking.”
Sensei not speaking from the heart!!!! :roll:
“… I’ve decided,” Risa said, closing the bento box and looking up with a small smile. “I’ve decided that, even if you don’t hold the same feelings for me, the feelings I have for you are still special, no matter what. And I want to continue to treasure those feelings. That’s why I won’t give up, Sensei. I’m going to chase after you. I’m going to follow you around in school like a teacher’s pet and get you look at me.”
:nya: :nya: :nya:
OKAY, YOU GOT ME HERE, GAKI-SAN... :k-inlove:
Before she could stop herself, she craned her neck forward and quickly pecked Ai on her cheek. The older woman whipped around with a soft gasp as she put her hand to her cheek. Risa could immediately feel her cheeks burning up as she met her teacher’s wide eyes.
:OMG:
WHOA! Bold bean... but I liked it :w00t: :oops: :inlove:
Gaki-san really taking charge here. Although, when she proposed to Ai that it would remain a one-sided love, I was imagining her to watch her sensei from afar, not attack her with her lips first thing off :lol:
She sighed and leaned back against the tree. She ran her fingers through her hair and smiled sadly.
You’re really killing my resolution here, Gaki-san…
*stomps on Ai-chan's resolution*
DIE! DIE! DIE!!!
Oh yay, at the end of this commenting spree... *phew*
PIVOTAL CHAPTER NEXT! YOSH! :onioncheer:
I guess having sat through your earlier story, I've been kinda waiting for a flood of pervs to come in... :twisted: lol but looks like it may never happen... or at least, not until things settle down for all our characters. <3
Thanks for your consistent updates, SarangAi. I enjoyed them all immensely :love:
Looking forward to MORE! :heart:
-
@gracula: lol MM anime? I'd buy it. XD
@Beecubed: Wow that was... AMAZING. Have I mentioned yet how much I love you? If I haven't, well here it is: I LOVE YOU :mon love: :mon love: :mon firecrack: :gmon love2: Your comments/critiques/analysis helps soooo much~~ and I TOTALLY appreciate everything you write. I read every word and laughed at some, nodded at some thinking, "AHH~ Sou ka!" :glasses: :hehehe: :hee: :bingo: Point is, thank you for the awesomely long comment :kneelbow:
And as for the genre of the next fic, I'm not sure what I'm doing yet. i might just mesh something up together but I hope nobody will be too mad if i just make the poll as a survey rather than the thing that actually makes decisions... i mean, i wanna test my skills too :nervous
I'M ALIVE~~~ :onioncheer:

Chapter 37
The knock on the door continued on and on at a constant pace, refusing to stop. It was like a woodpecker finding its food in the morning, stubbornly hitting the tree over and over again. Soon, it got annoying enough to drag Reina off her couch and send her to the front door. She had heard the rhythmic knocking from its first contact with the wood, since the television was turned on but muted after all, but she had tried to ignore it. But eventually, she couldn’t take it anymore and gave up. The kitten trudged up to the door and opened it.
“Who is—”
“Konbanwa, Reina-senpai!” three girls said in unison with bright smiles. “Can we come—”
Before the visitors could even finish their sentence, the ex-yankii slammed the door and shuffled back to the sofa. She dropped back down and snuggled up inside the blankets again to stare at the TV. She heard the front door opening again as the loud chatting started.
“Mou, senpai!” one voice complained. “That was kind of rude, wasn’t it?”
“It almost hit my nose too,” the second voice whined. “Look, Mittsi! Is it bruised?”
“So the first thing you do when you see us is you slam the door, Reina?” another voice laughed as it got closer to the living room. A black-haired girl poked her head in and grinned. “That’s pretty cruel. You wound me, my friend!”
“I knew you guys were going to find a way in anyway so why bother locking you out?” the kitten grumbled. “So the least I could do was take my frustration out on the door.”
“Well, we always bring snacks, don’t we?” Junjun chuckled. “And Aika and Linlin usually cook something for you too. So we’re not exactly freeloaders, right?”
“Pay my electricity and gas bills, then we’ll talk,” Reina muttered.
“Then we’ll talk after I get a job,” Aika said brightly, also poking her head in. “Linlin and I’ll get started on some snacks. Anything you want in particular, senpai?”
“Ooh! I’m the mood for some chocolate covered bananas!” Junjun said.
“I was asking Tanaka-senpai,” Aika said flatly. She disappeared from the living room and walked into the kitchen across the hall as Linlin followed behind her, giggling, with an arm full of groceries.
“Aw, come on, I’m your leader right now, you know?” Junjun called behind them, chuckling.
“Why must you always come to my house to intrude on my privacy?” Reina moaned, clutching her head between her hands.
“Hey look, I was just worried, alright?” the panda sighed. “You didn’t come to school today.”
“I was sick,” Reina mumbled.
“With what? I-only-watch-TV-on-mute-itis?” Junjun smirked.
“Not funny,” the kitten groaned.
“Look at yourself, Reina,” Junjun started again, sounding a bit more serious. “When I came to check up on you last time, I though you looked bad then. Today, you look even worse. You’re hair was in a bun before; that’s tolerable. But today, it’s in a ponytail. A single, low, plain, not curly, ponytail. It’s just so… normal. And effortless. You never wear your hair like that.”
“It was getting in the way,” the ex-yankii muttered.
“You’re dressed in a tank-top with a hoodie. And sweatpants. Assuming you’ve been wearing that for the whole day, that’s not very much like you either. The Reina I know is the type that can’t get through one day without being fashionable for at least ten minutes.”
“I think hoodies are in this season,” Reina mumbled.
“You need better excuse than that, Tanaka,” Junjun said, smiling. “Come on, just accept it. There’s something bothering you. You’ll feel better after you say it.”
“There’s nothing bothering me,” the shorter girl said through her teeth. “Now leave me alone.”
“… You know,” the panda suddenly said in a different tone, “while I was getting the groceries with Aika and Linlin, I saw someone familiar.”
“Great story, now go away,” the ex-yankii growled.
“I wasn’t sure who it was at first,” Junjun continued, ignoring her previous leader’s comment, “but I later realized it was actually Kame-chan.”
“You call her ‘Kame-chan’?” Reina asked, immediately turning her head and narrowing her eyes. “Since when were you close enough to use nicknames on Eri?”
“Since I got to know her a little better,” the panda smirked. “Why, jealous?”
“Hardly,” Reina scoffed, turning back to the TV.
“Hm.” The yankii leader smiled as she examined Reina’s seemingly calm face. “Anyway, I was about to go say hi but she was with someone so I didn’t. It was a really cute girl, with short brown hair and this gorgeous smile. I would’ve totally picked her up if she and Kame-chan didn’t seem so… you know, tight. I think I heard her name was “Risa-chan” or something. They seemed really close.”
“They’re just childhood friends!” Reina suddenly yelled, glaring at the panda next to her. “She’s not anything special to Eri in that way!” The kitten remembered vaguely about Eri talking about a friend she knew since she was young, after she avoided the subject about her “American” mother. Her name was “Risa”; Reina was pretty sure. Come to think of it, wasn’t the name that Eri called out when she walked in on her changing also “Risa”?
“Woah, calm down there, girl,” the panda grinned. “I’m just telling you what I saw. And how do you know who this Risa girl is? Have you met her?”
“Well, no…” Suddenly, Reina had flashback again, when she was climbing up the stairs to Eri’s place. There was a short-haired girl who was skittering down the steps who smiled at her as she walked by. Maybe that girl was Risa… But did she really mean something more than a friend to Eri?”
“Well then, how do you know if they’re not an item?” Junjun pushed on. “It’s been two weeks already, and Eri is a pretty girl. She can find herself a new girlfriend.”
“… Good, then we can both move on like that.”
Reina turned back to the TV, trying to suppress the overflowing emotions in her chest. There were so many things to comprehend: anger, frustration, misery, jealousy, confusion… She didn’t which was the strongest. She tried to tell herself that this was perfect, just what she wanted; if Eri was spending time with other girls, than she was moving on to other people. And now, Reina could also move on with her life as well. Everything was perfect…
“Okay, that’s it,” Junjun sighed, frowning. “I’m not going take a roundabout way anymore. I did see Eri and this “Risa” girl together but it was obvious they were just friends; no chemistry there, they were like sisters. My question to you is this: does it really matter that much?”
“Does what matter?” the ex-yankii muttered.
“Does it really matter if someone is a boy or a girl?” the panda yelled. “Does it really matter which uniform this person wears? She loves you more than anyone else! All those other guys you went out with in the past doesn’t even compare to the person you threw out two weeks ago, and you know it.”
“No, I don’t know!” Reina shouted back, glaring at her friend. “Who the hell do you think you are to tell me these things? I know what I feel towards that person and it’s only contempt! You know why? Because she lied to me! She didn’t have enough guts to tell me the truth and be honest with me!”
“Reina, you really don’t see yourself clearly, do you?” Junjun said in a low voice. “If Eri came right out from the start and told you she was a girl, would have been happier then? You wouldn’t have even considered the slightest possibility that she could be something more special to you than anything else.”
“That’s—”
“A lie?” the panda scoffed. “Tell me, would you still have kept Eri close to you like you did if you knew she wasn’t a boy?”
The room was silent. Reina continued to glare at her friend, fury burning in her eyes. But Junjun just stared right back with the same amount of force. The kitten bit down on her lips. Things in the kitchen suddenly got quiet too; Aika and Linlin were obviously listening in. But Reina didn’t care. She knew Junjun was right. If Eri was a girl… they wouldn’t have even gone this far.
“Eri knew you were close-minded,” the panda said quietly, “and you know you are too. But she still loved you, Reina. And I’m willing to bet she still does.”
“… What the hell am I supposed to do?” the kitten mumbled under her breath, looking down at her hands. “It’s already over anyway. She’s not calling me anymore and we’re through.”
“All you have to do is answer just one question,” Junjun replied, smiling warmly. “What do you want the most right now?”
Reina looked up a little as she started to think. What did she want? She thought she had spent her whole life doing what she wanted as a yankii: smoking, raiding, getting high… but none of it had satisfied her. Then she had tried doing what others wanted for once and moved out at her father’s request after her mother’s death. Yet there was still a storm in her heart. There was nothing she truly wanted…
Flashes of images started to spin through Reina’s head like a film strip. The pretty boy at the convenience store… ice cream at the park… competitions at the café… confession at her own living room… kisses at the aquarium… All the things she could remember and the only things she wanted to remember were these memories. The only happy memories she has of this place, and the person that created it all… Short light brown hair, baby-like complexion, bright smile…
“Aitai…” Reina whispered, her eyes widening, “I want… to see… Eri… I have to see… Eri…”
The kitten jumped up from the couch and ran towards the front door. She quickly shoved her feet into her sneakers as she zipped up the sweatshirt she was wearing and put the hood on.
“O-oi! Where are you going?” Junjun asked, quickly following her out of the living room.
“Out,” Reina said simply.
“Dressed like that?” the panda inquired.
“I don’t care how I’m dressed!” Reina said quickly. “Lock the door for me.”
“Can the girls and I sleep over?” Junjun asked, smiling.
“Do whatever you want, I don’t care,” Reina said before she ran out.
Junjun chuckled to herself as she closed the door and locked it. She turned around to see her two underlings, poking their heads out from the kitchen.
“Is… everything alright?” Linlin asked carefully.
“Yeah, I think it’s cool,” the older panda grinned. “I had to shove her in the right direction rather than push, but I think the results were the same.”
“You think Tanaka-senpai is coming back for dessert?” Aika asked.
Junjun smirked as she walked over to the kitchen. “Looks like we got the place to ourselves tonight,” she said, “because I don’t think Reina is coming back any time soon.”

Chapter 38
Why does this damn elevator never work? Kuso!
Reina slammed her fist against the metal door of the elevator before turning around and dashing up the stairs. Once again, she had gotten tired of waiting for the elevator after about five seconds and took her anger out on it instead. She would’ve started to kick it too, just because she was restless, but there were more urgent matters to deal with. There was someone she needed to see right now. That took precedence over everything else.
For some reason, the stairs seemed even steeper than last time and longer too. But Reina didn’t care. She knew that if she kept on climbing and climbing, she would eventually reach the correct floor. The floor where that person lived… thinking about such things only made the kitten run faster up the stairs.
Eventually, Reina came upon the correct floor and skidded to a halt. She was still breathing heavily when she banged on the door loudly. She wanted to yell too but her dry throat wouldn’t let her. Finally, she felt a presence on the other side of the door.
“Who is it—” a voice started to say as the door slowly opened.
The girl stopped halfway and stepped away from the entrance as she realized who her visitor was. Reina opened the door all the way and held on to the edge of the door way to keep herself standing as she was still struggling to get oxygen down her throat. She stared the owner of the home, not sure of what kind of emotion to show. The short-haired girl did the same except she seemed more nervous.
“We need to talk,” Reina said quietly as she ceased her huffing.
“… I know,” Eri replied, closing her eyes for a second. “Come in.”
The kitten silently let herself into the living room and looked around while Eri looked the front door and followed behind her. Reina walked forward where there were picture frames laid out on the table next to the television. The first photo was a baby picture of the turtle, wearing a white dress and pouting at the camera. The second photo was a picture of Eri, still with long hair, posing with another girl with long curly hair who was grinning at the camera. Reina recognized the other girl as “Risa”, or the person she had met at the stairs during her previous visit. The last picture was of Eri, still a toddler, with her parents. They all looked so perfect together; it showed the exact definition of a happy family. Reina’s fist tightened as she stared at the picture that would never have been created in her own family… if it could be called a family at all. Her “family” was all broken now; her mother was dead and it was too late to change that. Her father hated her and had kicked her out. Reina had always been alone.
“You wanted to talk, right?” Eri asked cautiously, breaking Reina out of her trance. “Come sit.”
The ex-yankii turned around to look at the girl who was sitting on the sofa, staring at her with sorrow-filled eyes. Reina could tell the turtle was being very careful, so as not to suddenly anger her ex-girlfriend. The kitten herself had no idea what kind of face she was making, but she knew it wasn’t a happy one. She closed her eyes and breathed through her mouth slowly, trying to relax her expression. She hadn’t come all this way to be angry at Eri all over again.
Reina made her way to the sofa and sat down next to Eri. She could hear the short-haired girl sigh in relief next to her; she was probably glad that Reina hadn’t positioned herself to the far end of the couch, and was comfortable with being near her now.
“… Your bangs got longer,” the kitten said quietly, not wanting the silence to take over.
“Huh?” Eri said, lifting her head slightly and looking up. “Oh. Um, yeah, I have to get them cut again… I see you’re trying out a new hair style.”
Reina raised an eyebrow in confusing before she gasped and touched her head. Her hair was still in its horribly plain, low, ponytail, which was definitely not her style. She ripped the hair-tie off and put it around her wrist while ruffling up her straight hair to make it slightly voluminous again.
“I just rushed out,” she said quickly.
“I can tell,” Eri said, laughing softly.
Reina sighed. Of course, she was still wearing her pajamas. Just fixing her hair wouldn’t make her any more presentable when she was wearing sweatpants with a tank-top and a hoodie. Whatever. It didn’t matter so much anyway.
“Reina, I—”
“Listen, Eri—”
Both girls stopped as they opened their mouth at the same time. Eri bit her lips.
“You can go first,” she offered.
“No, you can talk,” Reina insisted.
“… I just wanted to say that I’m sorry,” the turtle said quietly. “I’m sorry for not telling you the truth beforehand and I’m sorry that you had to find out in such a way. I… It’s just that… when I first saw you, I wanted to get to know you more. And I felt that since you thought I was a boy, I was okay with that as long as I could stay beside you. I didn’t want to let you go… not like that.”
“Eri knew you were close-minded… but she still loved you”, Reina thought, remembering Junjun’s words. “You lied to me,” she said coldly.
“I know I did,” Eri sighed. “And I want to apologize.”
“And you think that will make it better?” Reina laughed dryly. “I’ve been questioning your being and even my own during these past three weeks. Do you know how much I’ve wasted away during that time? How much I thought about this during that time? Enough to scream as loud as I can with my face buried in the pillow before I go to bed, that’s how much! Because if I didn’t do that, I wouldn’t be able to go to sleep.” No… this isn’t what I wanted to say to Eri. I don’t want to be angry at her!
“I’m sorry,” Eri whispered, looking down. “I’m so sorry…”
“And I told you everything…” Reina continued, feeling drops of tears starting to form at the corner of her eyes. “I told you my darkest secret about how I killed my mother and why I’m living alone out here. I told you things that I wasn’t able to say out loud so easily, because you seemed special. But you… you lied to me.” I didn’t come here to make Eri feel guilty! So… why am I here…?
“It’s all my fault…” Eri said in a hoarse voice, breathing heavily. “I’m sorry… You have every right to feel this way.”
“I’ve never felt more terribly betrayed, Eri,” Reina said through her teeth, letting the tears create a clean stream down her cheeks. “I hate you. I hate you more than anything in the world!”
Eri’s breathing hitched as she immediately raised her hands to rub her eyes, wiping away her own tears. Reina tried to calm herself down as she muttered curses under her breath.
“I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!” she mumbled, over and over again. “I hate you so much, Kamei Eri!”
The turtle broke into her own quiet sobs as she covered her eyes. “Of course you do…” she whispered, laughing weakly. “You have every right to…”
“… But… more than hating you… I hate that I still love you…”
Eri slowly lifted her head as her eyes widened. She examined her ex-girlfriend’s face, soaked in tears. Reina was biting down on her bottom lip with her eyes shut, which didn’t stop the tears from overflowing.
“I feel like I should hate you so much,” Reina cried, “but I can’t help but love you! You made me feel the worst emotions a human could possibly feel but for some reason, I still wanted to see you… I hate loving you, Eri… I hate it!”
“Reina…”
“But you know,” the kitten said, sniffling and trying to calm herself down, “I’ve done so many bad things in the past, that maybe this is my punishment. Maybe I’m fated to love you and hate it forever. But… I can’t help but think that being with you is a blessing, not a punishment. In which case, I don’t deserve you.”
“Then think of it as a punishment,” Eri said quickly, leaning forward a little. “Think of it as the harshest punishment in the world and stay with me…”
“… You’re such a sadist,” Reina said, breaking out into soft laughter.
“Says the girl who has been ignoring my texts for the past three weeks,” Eri teased back, smiling. “Please… please stay with me…?”
“I just came to talk with you, that’s all.”
“Then let’s talk,” Eri said immediately. “What do you want to talk about? We can talk about anything you want.”
The turtle looked at the kitten with bright eyes, the mere fact that the one she loved was sitting right in front of her. Reina stared back with a blank face. It was slowly starting to get clearer. She had come to this place to see Eri. Because she didn’t care about whether Eri was a boy or a girl now; all that mattered was that Eri was Eri. And Reina could love Eri just the way she was, the exact same way Eri had accepted Reina despite her past.
“… I changed my mind,” Reina said quietly. “Let’s not talk. In fact, don’t say anything at all.”
The kitten swiftly reached forward for the turtle’s face and captured it between her hands. She then pulled herself forward until she felt the familiar softness against her lips. Eri immediately obliged to the ex-yankii’s needs and closed her eyes. She wrapped her arms around Reina’ slim waist and pulled her even closer until she was practically on her lap. Soon, their kiss got more intense as they let the tip of their tongues swish against each other and eventually fight for dominance. Reina moaned softly as the familiar taste of her lover spread in her mouth. Eri slowly leaned forward even more until she pushed the kitten down on her back. Reina gently caressed the turtle’s cheeks as Eri ran her fingers through her lover’s hair. As they parted for a second to catch their breath, Eri pressed her forehead against Reina’s.
“I hate you,” Reina whispered, smiling.
“Love you too,” Eri chuckled.
As they pressed their lips together again, the two lovers made secret vows within their hearts.
I’ll never let you go, ever again. We’ll stay together… no matter what.

No… this isn’t what I wanted to say to Eri. I don’t want to be angry at her!
I kinda felt a bit of dread at this moment.
I didn’t come here to make Eri feel guilty! So… why am I here…?
I totally expected her to mess this up.
Eri slowly leaned forward even more until she pushed the kitten down on her back.
And here, I totally expected Risa to walk in on them and be totally scarred for life. :lol: :lol: :lol:
*jumps around* Argh, I think I hate you not having more free time! These chapters are like a tease!

@mmsuki: UGH i know. mainstream media... :bleed eyes: again, still don't know about the OGs... I'm not too familiar with them, you see, especially Goto since i never really paid attention to her too much :nervous
LOL.. i'm not familiar with them too.. for i am a new fan.. but i just i wanna see some ReiKi (Reina-Maki) baaaaad.. :nervous
Chapter 35
“Here, Mittsi, you can use this,” Linlin said, taking out a starter’s gun from under her skirt and handing it to her girlfriend.
seriously what else is under there??.. hahaha.. she seems to be hiding a lot of stuff there.. :lol: first a knife now a gun??.. whats next? an axe?!.. XD
also when Mitssi was going to use a real gun i went --> :shocked WTF?!.. you can't do that!! :panic: good thing Linlin has the actual gun used for running competitions.. :grin: Linlin and her ways plus her magical skirt.. :thumbsup
for a really smart person, Junjun made a pretty stupid move.. :banghead: i hope the bunny makes a SMARTER move and returns to her prince.. :D
Chapter 36
**GASP!!** the grope demon a SENSEI?! :shocked i don't think i want to be her student.. :P2
Gakisan putting on the moves on Ai-sensei.. smooooth :pimp:.. :thumbsup
well at least Gakisan is more optimistic than me.. LOL.. despite my pessimism i do hope that their relationship would work-out.. ;)
So instead, just for chatting sake: I made an error in my plot :shocked
I completely forgot that I used the buono girls in the Cafe Buono scene from the early chapters, where TanaKame had the couple game... But I recycled Miya and Airi in Junjun's gang by mistake... my bad :banghead:
From here on out, they're part of the gang, not the cafe! I don't think I'm ever bringing the same cafe back... if i need a cafe, i'll make a new one :nervous
Again, sorry about that :kneelbow:
muahahaha.. i wouldn't even noticed it if you didn't point it out.. lol.. when i was reading your fic back then i was really clueless as to the other groups/person in h!p.. i only know Momusu back then.. and i am still learning other artists under h!P now.. :nervous
Chapter 37
FINALLY!! a smart move done by Junjun.. :twothumbs shoving instead of pushing :thumbup :onioncheer: and Reina having an epiphany!! releasing just how much she loves her turtle!! :luvluv2:
“You think Tanaka-senpai is coming back for dessert?”Aika asked.
i think she's gonna have her 'dessert' at the turtle's place... :mon misch: :mon misch:
Junjun smirked as she walked over to the kitchen. “Looks like we got the place to ourselves tonight,” she said, “because I don’t think Reina is coming back any time soon.”
YEAH!! she won't!!.. :kekeke: i know you said it doesn't mean anything.. but to me it does.. and my mind is already flying and imagining things.. :mon star: :mon heh:
Chapter 38
ok.. i was a bit nervous when Reina said..
“You lied to me,” she said coldly.
..
“And you think that will make it better?” Reina laughed dryly. “I’ve been questioning your being and even my own during these past three weeks. Do you know how much I’ve wasted away during that time? How much I thought about this during that time? Enough to scream as loud as I can with my face buried in the pillow before I go to bed, that’s how much! Because if I didn’t do that, I wouldn’t be able to go to sleep.” No… this isn’t what I wanted to say to Eri. I don’t want to be angry at her!
...
“And I told you everything…” Reina continued, feeling drops of tears starting to form at the corner of her eyes. “I told you my darkest secret about how I killed my mother and why I’m living alone out here. I told you things that I wasn’t able to say out loud so easily, because you seemed special. But you… you lied to me.” I didn’t come here to make Eri feel guilty! So… why am I here…?
...
..
well basically that entire scene.. i was hitting the desk of my computer and shouting no, whenever Reina countered the sincere apology of Eri.. :err:
you are awesome like that.. :grin: :on GJ:
“… I changed my mind,” Reina said quietly. “Let’s not talk. In fact, don’t say anything at all.”
The kitten swiftly reached forward for the turtle’s face and captured it between her hands. She then pulled herself forward until she felt the familiar softness against her lips. Eri immediately obliged to the ex-yankii’s needs and closed her eyes. She wrapped her arms around Reina’ slim waist and pulled her even closer until she was practically on her lap.

“Love you too,” Eri chuckled.
As they pressed their lips together again, the two lovers made secret vows within their hearts.
I’ll never let you go, ever again. We’ll stay together… no matter what.

Chapter 35
You’re right, Usa-chan; today is the day you finally win…
Eh? She'll make her win? :O NO!!! :pleeease:
She can still work hard to win the next challenge.
Sayu knows she'll be defeated again :D but Jun... NO!!!! :pleeease: lol
“They don’t use a real shotgun, baka!” Sayumi scolded.
Shotgun!? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Linlin quickly took out a pair of headphones from her bag and put it over her girlfriend’s ears. Then, she covered her own with her hands.
I want Lin for a gf :grin:
You’re really doing your best, huh? She thought. It would be frustrating if your efforts go to waste…
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mon fire:
I should be happy… so why do I feel so empty?
Yeah, why? Why did you have to run to the finish line and not to Jun instead? WHY??? :gyaaah:
Chapter 36
Yay! OGs :yossi: :otomerika: :cow:
“I’m starting to wake up earlier to have bigger breakfasts,” Ai explained. “I guess it lasts me through the day without lunch.”
:depressed:
But since that student had been avoiding her for the past two weeks, Takahashi-sensei hadn’t had lunch in two weeks either.
OMG It's Risa's fault :gyaaah: well I kinda knew it was because of her though but still... TakaGaki :gyaaah:
“Gaki-san!” Ai yelled. “What are you—”
:w00t: Her knight in a not so shining uniform finally arrived :gmon twirl: :mon money: :on woohoo:
“Mou, sensei, have you been skipping lunch these days? I always hear from the next door class that you’re so lifeless during lecture.”
:mon lovelaff: :mon lovelaff: :mon lovelaff:
She skittered down the hallway, through the doors, and out to the courtyard until she finally reached the big tree where she had been rejected two weeks ago.
Sad memory
“Sit down, Sensei,” Risa ordered, looking up.
Yeah Sensei, sit down (http://www.laymark.com/i/m/m185.gif) (http://www.laymark.com)
“Ah~” she said. “Come on, Sensei, open your mouth!”
Ummm... okay... you're not so in a rush Gakisan :D
I’ve decided that, even if you don’t hold the same feelings for me, the feelings I have for you are still special, no matter what. And I want to continue to treasure those feelings.
Lovely :love:
That’s why I won’t give up, Sensei. I’m going to chase after you. I’m going to follow you around in school like a teacher’s pet and get you look at me.”
That's the spirit :leek:
“Will you give me permission…” the bean started, biting her lips, “to continue loving you?”
I'm speechless. My feelings atm is a mixture of happiness, sadness, heartacheness. It's now one of my fave lines :yep:
“But… I still can’t stop my own heart. I’m only human. I… I won’t bother you or anything so please just… just let me love you by myself. Just let me continue to stay beside you like this. Will you give me permission?”
Gosh
Subconsciously, she reached for Ai’s hand that was on her lap and let her own skin touch with Ai’s. But the teacher immediately pulled the hand away and even turned her head to the side. Risa took her hand away as well and bit down on her lips, embarrassed by her own actions.
Again, gosh
Before she could stop herself, she craned her neck forward and quickly pecked Ai on her cheek.
Muahahaha... that's how to do it Risa :grin:
The older woman whipped around with a soft gasp as she put her hand to her cheek. Risa could immediately feel her cheeks burning up as she met her teacher’s wide eyes.
Two people in love but one is in denial stage or something :grin:
I’m the one who just got attacked and she’s yelling at me? She thought, chuckling.
My sentiments as well XD
I don't know how to explain the entire chap... kinda subtle but heavy.?. Love it :heart: well I love everything AiGaki related so :D
Chapter 37
“So the least I could do was take my frustration out on the door.”
XD
I-only-watch-TV-on-mute-itis?”
:lol: :lol: :lol:
“Great story, now go away,” the ex-yankii growled.
XD
“Anyway, I was about to go say hi but she was with someone so I didn’t. It was a really cute girl, with short brown hair and this gorgeous smile. I would’ve totally picked her up if she and Kame-chan didn’t seem so… you know, tight. I think I heard her name was “Risa-chan” or something. They seemed really close.”
Someone's trying to get someone jealous :mon fyeah: Wonder if it will work :mon mischief:
“They’re just childhood friends!”
Aww, she remembers :wriggly:
Maybe that girl was Risa… But did she really mean something more than a friend to Eri?”
:wahaha: Yeah, it's working :on lol:
“… What the hell am I supposed to do?”
Yay! Good sign :strawberry:
“It’s already over anyway. She’s not calling me anymore and we’re through.”
Girls really are complicated :roll:
“I want… to see… Eri… I have to see… Eri…”
And she's finally awake :deejay
“You think Tanaka-senpai is coming back for dessert?” Aika asked.
Nice timing :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Chapter 38
The short-haired girl did the same except she seemed more nervous.
Afraid she might get butchered? :grin:
“… I know,” Eri replied, closing her eyes for a second. “Come in.”

“… But… more than hating you… I hate that I still love you…”
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah :mon santa3:
But… I can’t help but think that being with you is a blessing, not a punishment. In which case, I don’t deserve you.”
NO!!! :shocked
“Then think of it as a punishment,” Eri said quickly, leaning forward a little. “Think of it as the harshest punishment in the world and stay with me…”
Now the Turtle is talking :mon money:
“Then let’s talk,” Eri said immediately. “What do you want to talk about? We can talk about anything you want.”
And do things in between topics :twisted:
“Let’s not talk. In fact, don’t say anything at all.”
Har har :twisted:

I've been working on this next chapter for a long while and it got longer than I planned for, but it's better this way, right? :lol:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 39
“Now if you all did your homework last night and read the correct chapter, you would know that— Kamei-san, this is your second strike of the semester— the Tokugawa shogunate was overthrown in 1868.”
Takahashi-sensei put down the chalk and turned around with a sweet smile as the rest of the class also flipped around to look at the back of the room. Eri stopped dead in her tracks, frozen with her back hunched in an attempt to stay hidden. A couple of the boys snickered as other girls just giggled. Risa slapped her own forehead and sighed at her friend’s aho-ness. The turtle laughed nervously as she straightened her back and quickly sat down in her seat. She had been late to school once again and her teacher had caught her without looking, just like last time. It was kind of creepy how Takahashi-sensei seemed to be able to do anything but now, most of the students were getting used to her seemingly supernatural powers.
“Sumimasen, Sensei,” Eri apologized, scratching her head.
“Daijoubu,” Ai said kindly. “Just try not to get a third strike, or you’ll have to write an essay for me.”
“I understand,” Eri said, nodding.
As the teacher turned back to the board and started to write, Eri could see Risa ripping out a page of her notebook from the corner of her eyes. The turtle sighed, preparing herself for the bean’s questioning. Sure enough, the iinchou soon flicked a piece of folded paper towards her friend only seconds later. Eri unfolded the note and read it to herself.
“What happened on Saturday? Give me all the details!” the turtle thought. She smirked as she started to write back a reply.
What makes you think something happened on Saturday?
Risa rolled her eyes at her friend’s sneaky reply as she furiously started to write again. This time, she seemed to write a lot more than usual. Eri figured the bean was getting restless already.
First of all, you were supposed to return my book on
Saturday night but you never came down.
Second of all, I rang your doorbell ten thousand times on Sunday
but you never answered.
Third of all, you’re late this morning, which means you were
probably walking a certain someone to school?
Eri laughed softly to herself while she read her friend’s note. Risa really was the smartest girl in the school, wasn’t she? She couldn’t immediately tell something was up. Before she could think of a response, the turtle felt another a piece of paper hit her hand.
I know you were home all day on Sunday.
What was keeping you so busy that you couldn’t
answer the door or answer my texts?
Eri started to think back to the day before. She started to remember the morning after Reina had come back, when the warm sun shining through the curtains had woke her up…
~.~.~
Eri slowly opened her eyes, licking her dry lips. Still not quite comprehending her surroundings, she yawned a little before her vision returned clearly. Only then, did the turtle spot the face of a cute, cat-like girl, sleeping peacefully. Her light brown hair was sparkling from the sunlight that was seeping through the windows. Her skin seemed perfectly white and smooth around her bare neck and shoulders.
Eri smiled, remembering the night before. Reina had finally come back to her. She had finally forgiven the turtle for her previous lies and actions and they had come to the conclusion that neither of them could live without the other. Reina had made herself out to be the lucky one but Eri felt that she was the more fortunate one. But then again, she always had.
As the kitten continued to sleep, Eri laid comfortably on her side, watching her returned girlfriend. Reina just seemed so perfect in every way. Even while sleeping, her cuteness seemed to irradiate in every direction. She was not just in love; she was immersed in love. The more she watched the petit girl, the more Eri felt like leaning in to touch her, to kiss her. To feel that soft cheek, to taste those sweet lips…
“Stared enough yet?”
Before Eri could even finish her gasping, the turtle found herself flipped to her back and pinned down by the previously sleeping girl. Without giving Eri a chance to say a word, Reina dove in and touched her lips with her lover’s, matching them like two perfect puzzle pieces. She started out softly before licking Eri’s lips with the tip of her tongue, allowing the short-haired girl to let out a near-silent moan. Before the kiss could get more intense, the ex-yankii backed away, smiling mischievously.
“You don’t have to just observe the prey,” she giggled. “You’re welcome to taste it a little, too.”
“Ugh, don’t say things like that,” Eri groaned, rolling her eyes. “Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to sleep like this with you? How hard it was to hold back?”
“I’m sorry,” Reina laughed, pressing her forehead against the turtle’s. “But I do appreciate your self-control.”
Although it was silently decided that Reina would be staying over at her girlfriend’s home, they didn’t get too caught up in the moment. As much as they both wanted to belong to their lovers, they also understood that it wasn’t the right time. Eri understood that Reina was still quite insecure with the fact that her “boyfriend” was now a “girlfriend” and with her own… preference. Frankly speaking, she wasn’t completely used to seeing Eri wearing girl pajamas either. How then, could Reina even be used to seeing the turtle’s bare body that was obviously a woman’s? So instead of going further, they had decided to just sleep together in the same bed. Although Eri continuously said she was perfectly fine with this restriction, Reina had felt guilty that she couldn’t give herself completely yet. So she took the liberty to take off her sweater and sweatpants— also because she was embarrassed about them— and sleep in just her tank top and underwear. Meanwhile, Eri had slept in a white, button-down pajama top with just her underwear as well.
“I’m willing to wait as long as you need me to,” the turtle smiled. “Just being with you like this, my whole honest self revealed, already feels unreal. It’s too good to be true.”
“I feel the same way,” Reina sighed as she planted another quick kiss on her lover’s lips. “Too bad I realized by good fortune not soon enough.”
“Better late than never,” Eri grinned. “I, for one, am glad that I stopped contacting you and waited. The time was torturous but it was worthwhile.”
“So that was your plan!” the kitten hissed. “You purposely stopped texting! You were using reverse psychology on me? Who suggested that?”
“Has it never occurred to you that I might have been the one that thought of it?” Eri said slowly.
“I know you, Eri,” Reina said, rolling her eyes. “You’re the type who keeps running forward, even though there’s a brick wall. You use instinct, not logic. So tell me; who helped you?”
“I won’t betray anyone,” Eri said, grinning. “But I think you can guess.”
“… Junjun!” the kitten growled. “That girl… she was also the one who led me here!”
“Really? She did that?” Eri asked, pleasantly surprised. “Wow. And she even said she wouldn’t get involved… I think I owe her one. I should get her cake later or something.”
“Don’t bother; she and the girls empty out my fridge every week anyway,” Reina sighed. “That’s their paycheck.”
“Well, that paycheck should be given by me,” Eri laughed. “So how about I treat you to breakfast right now instead?”
“I’d like that,” Reina said, smiling and blushing a little. “And, you know, I have an idea of how I can get… um… used to you… a little quicker.”
“Used to me? What do you— oh.” Eri stopped and blushed a little as Reina giggled. Her girlfriend really was trying hard, so that they could both physically and emotionally belong to each other soon. So the turtle wasn’t the only one who was looking forward to that day… or night, as it may be.
“I’ll tell you my idea later,” the kitten purred, gleaming. “But for now, let’s get something to eat.”
~.~.~
Eri felt something hit her head and fall on her desk. She blinked quickly a couple times before turning to look at her friend next to her. The bean rolled her eyes as she pointed at the scrunched up paper ball on the turtle’s desk. Eri slowly opened it up, trying to make as little crinkly noises as possible.
You’re spacing out, Kame.
Tell me what happened!
You’re seriously killing me here!
Eri tried to suppress laughter as she took up her pencil and started to scribble on the same page. When she was done, she flicked the paper over to Risa’s desk.
We got back together.
The bean let out a low groan as she arched her eyebrows in a frown. She let out a strong exhale that sent her bangs up. She started to furiously scribble on the paper again before tossing it towards Eri’s head. But the turtle was prepared this time around and caught it before it could hit her once more.
I know you guys got back together, it’s so obvious!
Okay, let me break it down for you specifically, aho Kame.
What were you doing that was so important that you could even answer the door?
Eri read the note and raised an eyebrow. What had she been doing? She remembered eating breakfast with Reina first. She remembered wanting to change but Reina had stopped her and led her to the couch in the living room instead…
~.~.~
“Reina, what are you doing?” Eri asked in a panic with a worried expression.
“Just stay still for a second!” the kitten giggled. She quickly kissed the turtle full on the lips before smiling. “All you have to do is trust me, okay?”
Eri sighed deeply before nodding. She was starting to calm down a bit when Reina kicked off the turtle’s adrenaline rush once more by pushing her back into the couch to sit. Before Eri could get up again, the kitten quickly climbed on top of her girlfriend’s lap and straddled her, smiling.
“R-R-Reina?” Eri stuttered, not comprehending the current situation.
“Calm down a little, will you?” the ex-yankii whispered, kissing the corner of Eri’s lips.
“… My girlfriend is straddling me on my couch while trying to get in a kiss, and she’s only dressed in a tank top and underwear,” Eri narrated, “and you think I can stay calm?”
“I guess you’re right,” Reina laughed. “I wouldn’t be able to stay calm either.”
With that, she leaned in for another kiss from the turtle. Eri was quick to oblige as their tongues danced against each other. Reina stroked her lover’s soft cheeks in the process and moaned softly when Eri started to suck on her tongue. Reluctantly, the kitten parted from the turtle before either of them could be satisfied.
“But if you could stay still this one time,” Reina whispered in a more serious tone, “it might help me in the long run… I want to become yours as soon as possible and want you to become mine alone.”
Eri stared into her lover’s deep brown eyes; she could sense sincerity in her voice as well as determination, but her eyes betrayed that courage. In all honesty, Reina was actually quite unsure and scared. She definitely loved Eri with all her heart but she didn’t know whether she was ready to accept the fact that the person she loved was of the same gender. But she was willing to try as hard as she could, and Eri was willing to become her experiment subject. So she smiled and nodded encouragingly.
Reina let out a deep sigh and bit down on her lips. She swallowed before she slowly reached for the top button of Eri’s shirt. She slowly started to undo each button as the turtle watched her face intently. Soon, Reina was able to open up the shirt completely to reveal Eri’s white bra covering two perfect breasts as well as her flat stomach. The white skin of her collarbone looked smooth and flawless. Reina couldn’t help but stare at her girlfriend’s marvelous body. Eri’s cheeks quickly blushed red as she turned her head to the side.
“Stop staring at me like that,” she said. “It’s embarrassing…”
“I don’t know how I ever thought you were a boy, Eri,” the kitten laughed, “especially when you’re acting like this… It’s cute.”
“Well, that’s not something I hear every day,” Eri chuckled.
“Good, I’m glad you don’t,” Reina grinned. “I don’t want anybody else but me to think you’re cute. Don’t go around making people fall for you.”
“As if!” Eri laughed. Reina also giggled along before sighing.
“It’s so strange,” she whispered. “I’ve never thought before about falling in love with another girl… and it wasn’t something I considered possible either. But now, being with you like this… staring at a girl’s bare body, just like my own… it almost feels right. But I still can’t imagine myself being with another girl so… maybe it’s just you, Eri.”
“Well, I hope you don’t imagine yourself with another half-naked girl,” Eri grinned. “I should be the only one you’re straddling.”
“You are, don’t worry,” Reina laughed. “I… I really love you, Eri. Can you believe me when I say that?”
“I always have,” Eri smiled.
Reina also smiled as she leaned into kiss her girlfriend. The two lovers kissed over and over again, starting out gently but getting rougher with every touch. Reina’s hands slid down from Eri’s cheeks to her neck, to her shoulders, to her two perfect molds. She squeezed them gently, allowing the taller girl to moan softly into the kiss. Eri’s hands laid limp on her side, occasionally balling up into a fist, as she was touched in a hesitant yet tender way.
“You can touch me too, you know,” Reina whispered through the kiss. “I don’t know how far I can go at the moment but… we can find out.”
Without waiting another second, Eri immediately slid her hands up against Reina’s back and pulled her even closer. She broke away from the initial kiss and instead, leaned in to barely brush the tip of her tongue against Reina’s smooth neck. The kitten gasped as she arched her back and looked up, giving the turtle even more access to the collarbone. Eri’s hands slid underneath Reina’s tank top and touched around Reina’s soft back. Reina bit down on her lips to hold in a loud moan but it came out as a small whine anyway, which made her girlfriend smile. Eri tilted her head a little more upwards to go for her lover’s ears, and nibbled at it. She breathed hotly into it before giving it a light kiss, eliciting another gasp from her prey.
Suddenly, the door bell rang out loud and clear throughout the apartment, followed by some loud knocking. Eri stopped her actions and looked towards the door as Reina did the same, but with a frustrated frown.
“I should get that…” the turtle mumbled.
“Ignore it,” Reina said immediately. She went back to kissing her lover’s cheek and her motionless lips.
“KAMEHA, I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE!” a loud voice boomed from behind the door. “You were supposed to come to my house last night, remember? What happened? Are you sleeping?”
“It’s Risa-chan,” Eri said in a low voice. “I should really get that—”
“Definitely not!” Reina hissed. She quickly angled herself in a way that she could push the turtle down on her back. She kept her legs straddled around Eri’s waist to trap her as she continued to kiss Eri’s neck. “You know, I’m starting to hear this name ‘Risa’ a lot… She’s just a childhood friend, right?”
“… Reina, are you jealous?” Eri smirked.
“I’m not jealous, I’m curious,” the kitten said flatly. “She’s your best friend, right? I think I’m allowed to meet her, as your girlfriend, right?”
“Kameha, open the door!”Risa’s voice echoed in the hallway.
“Well then, you can meet her now if you’ll let me get the door... mm...” Eri mumbled quietly, moaning at the last moment as Reina gently sucked on her skin.
“I can meet her another time,” Reina said nonchalantly. “There are more important things we can do at the moment.”
“Kameha, I’m not going to let you copy my homework for a week if you don’t open the door!” Risa yelled out threateningly.
“Okay, I should seriously get the door now, Risa-chan isn’t kidding,” Eri sighed.
“Your choice is between copying your friends homework and making out with your girlfriend,” Reina said, raising an eyebrow, “and you’re going to choose homework?”
“… I guess a couple bad grades won’t make much difference,” Eri shrugged, allowing Reina to smile.
“Now that’s what I want to hear…” Reina purred.
~.~.~
Another piece of paper hit the turtle square on the head before it dropped on the desk. Eri blinked a couple times and looked at Risa, who was narrowing her eyes. The turtle tuned her attention to the scrunched up paper and read the note written inside.
Oh, you are so having perverted thoughts right now.
Eri’s cheeks turned bright pink as she scrunched the note back up. She stuck out her tongue at the bean, who returned a sharp exhale and rolled her eyes. Eri tore out another piece of paper from her notebook and started to write again.
Well, you get the general gist of what happened.
Why don’t you tell me your side of the story, Risa-chan?
Anything new going on with Sen
The piece of paper got snatched away from the turtle’s desk in a blink of an eye. Eri looked up at her teacher who smiled down at her before clearing her throat and reading the note. Risa gasped as she started to panic.
“ ‘Well, you get the general gist of what happened’,” Takahashi sensei read out loud. “ ‘Why don’t you tell me your side of the story, Risa-chan? Anything new going on…’” Her voice traveled off at the unfinished sentence. “Well, I can tell you, Kamei-san, that Niigaki-san indeed has something new going on and that is essay writing after school today with you.”
“… Hai…” the turtle groaned, her shoulders slumping.
“You suck at passing notes,” the bean muttered under her breath.
“No, I’m just good at watching my students,” Ai smiled sweetly. “Now, please pay attention for the rest of the period!”
Risa picked up her pencil once more and started to madly scribble down the notes that she had not copied yet off the board. Eri started to do the same but her pace slowed down more and more until it came to a complete halt. She was still daydreaming about the events that had happened the day before, as well as future events that may happen sooner or later.

“I should get that…” the turtle mumbled.
“Ignore it,” Reina said immediately. She went back to kissing her lover’s cheek and her motionless lips.
no Eri you shouldn't get it!! you missed your girlfriend remember?! so stay put and listen to Reina and make-out some more.. :grin:
“KAMEHA, I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE!” a loud voice boomed from behind the door. “You were supposed to come to my house last night, remember? What happened? Are you sleeping?”

“It’s Risa-chan,” Eri said in a low voice. “I should really get that—”
“Definitely not!” Reina hissed. She quickly angled herself in a way that she could push the turtle down on her back. She kept her legs straddled around Eri’s waist to trap her as she continued to kiss Eri’s neck. “You know, I’m starting to hear this name ‘Risa’ a lot… She’s just a childhood friend, right?”

“Kameha, I’m not going to let you copy my homework for a week if you don’t open the door!” Risa yelled out threateningly.
“Okay, I should seriously get the door now, Risa-chan isn’t kidding,” Eri sighed.
“Your choice is between copying your friends homework and making out with your girlfriend,” Reina said, raising an eyebrow, “and you’re going to choose homework?”
“… I guess a couple bad grades won’t make much difference,” Eri shrugged, allowing Reina to smile.

The turtle and the cat got a little cozy~! That's what I like to hear, er, read. :sweatdrop: I could so imagine Eri completely spacing out in class about the night/morning. It just spells trouble and then she ends up dragging the bean in, too. They should have learned by now about passing notes. :lol:
Oh man, could this be a set up for a little after school Takagaki? :wriggly:

Reina let out a deep sigh and bit down on her lips. She swallowed before she slowly reached for the top button of Eri’s shirt. She slowly started to undo each button as the turtle watched her face intently. Soon, Reina was able to open up the shirt completely to reveal Eri’s white bra covering two perfect breasts as well as her flat stomach. The white skin of her collarbone looked smooth and flawless.

I MISSED YOU TOO but I'm back
for how long...I don't know yet :nervous
but here my long Reply
Ch 33
lool I could felt how could be the ambiance in this chapter
“We’re really pathetic,” Risa suddenly said, breaking the silence. “Look at us, we’re being total bums! The television is on but it’s on mute because we’re too depressed to even watch a show properly. That has got to be the most fail thing I have done in my life.”
agree and it's good the fact you know you're pathetic XD
“And if you want my honest opinion,” Eri whispered, smiling, “I think it’s too soon to give up. Just because you get a strike out once, doesn’t mean you won’t get a home run the next time. I think you should keep trying. You have to hang in there.” Yeah… if you truly love someone, you have to hang in there…
:mon geek: Don't give up
CH 34
LOL how Linlin fear Aika when know that she saw Eri in secret XD XD
“What’s going on in the kitchen?” Reina asked, her voice still sounding fairly normal. “I hear some arguing…”
“It’s Aika and Linlin’s weekly lover’s quarrel,” the panda joked. “They’ll get over it soon.”
XD XD
Reina can be so stuborn :smoke:
CH 35
JunSayu chapter :inlove: :wub:
“Come on, let’s get this over with,” Junjun insisted, stretching out her arms. “I have a room that needs cleaning.”
“In your dreams!” Sayumi retorted, sticking out her tongue.
:lol: :lol:
:dunno: Where does Aika got her gun????
T^T NO no no no....no more JunSayu anymore...until next time you feel the need to put them together?!?!
I want more of this couple :gmon tears:
CH 36
“It’s very good…” Ai said, swallowing the food. She smiled a little, unable to help but be pleased with this situation. Yes, she was still wondering if this was a dream but she didn’t care if it was. She was happy now and she was going to savor this moment.
ahahah someone was missing her homemade lunch :twisted:
Before Ai could even reply back, Risa picked herself up along with the bento box and ran out of the courtyard. Takahashi-sensei exhaled sharply, and started to laugh.
I’m the one who just got attacked and she’s yelling at me? She thought, chuckling.
She sighed and leaned back against the tree. She ran her fingers through her hair and smiled sadly.
You’re really killing my resolution here, Gaki-san…
then give up :grr:
CH 37
“Hm.” The yankii leader smiled as she examined Reina’s seemingly calm face. “Anyway, I was about to go say hi but she was with someone so I didn’t. It was a really cute girl, with short brown hair and this gorgeous smile. I would’ve totally picked her up if she and Kame-chan didn’t seem so… you know, tight. I think I heard her name was “Risa-chan” or something. They seemed really close.”
mhm nice...using Risa for the shock and make Reina jealous
“They’re just childhood friends!” Reina suddenly yelled, glaring at the panda next to her. “She’s not anything special to Eri in that way!” The kitten remembered vaguely about Eri talking about a friend she knew since she was young, after she avoided the subject about her “American” mother. Her name was “Risa”; Reina was pretty sure. Come to think of it, wasn’t the name that Eri called out when she walked in on her changing also “Risa”?
JEALOUS niark niark :mon evillaff:
GO GO GO REINA RUN RUN to go visit the girl you like
:mon squee: :mon fyeah:
CH 38
Why does this damn elevator never work? Kuso!
Reina slammed her fist against the metal door of the elevator before turning around and dashing up the stairs. Once again, she had gotten tired of waiting for the elevator after about five seconds and took her anger out on it instead. She would’ve started to kick it too, just because she was restless, but there were more urgent matters to deal with. There was someone she needed to see right now. That took precedence over everything else.
Coz that wanna make you more and more impatient to see the turtle lol XD
The kitten swiftly reached forward for the turtle’s face and captured it between her hands. She then pulled herself forward until she felt the familiar softness against her lips. Eri immediately obliged to the ex-yankii’s needs and closed her eyes. She wrapped her arms around Reina’ slim waist and pulled her even closer until she was practically on her lap. Soon, their kiss got more intense as they let the tip of their tongues swish against each other and eventually fight for dominance. Reina moaned softly as the familiar taste of her lover spread in her mouth. Eri slowly leaned forward even more until she pushed the kitten down on her back. Reina gently caressed the turtle’s cheeks as Eri ran her fingers through her lover’s hair. As they parted for a second to catch their breath, Eri pressed her forehead against Reina’s.
:mon XD: :gmon shy: :on gay: :luvluv1:
yeah they are back together
CH 39
LOL How she could know who are late or sneaking to go in the class O_o
Eri's flash back :luvluv2: :on lol: :luvluv1: :kneelbow: :imdead:
“ ‘Well, you get the general gist of what happened’,” Takahashi sensei read out loud. “ ‘Why don’t you tell me your side of the story, Risa-chan? Anything new going on…’”
arf you should read until the "SEN" XD XD
Eri started to do the same but her pace slowed down more and more until it came to a complete halt. She was still daydreaming about the events that had happened the day before, as well as future events that may happen sooner or later.
:hee: I think I know what could happen next :mon mischief: :hee:
:on drink:
I finish catching up and replying too...

Chapter 39
you would know that— Kamei-san, this is your second strike of the semester— the Tokugawa shogunate was overthrown in 1868.
I love how Sensei squeezed her remark in XD
Eri stopped dead in her tracks, frozen with her back hunched in an attempt to stay hidden.
Lovely to imagine :lol:
What makes you think something happened on Saturday?
Denials denials :roll:
econd of all, I rang your doorbell ten thousand times on Sunday
but you never answered
:w00t: Something special must have happened :w00t:
the turtle felt another a piece of paper hit her hand.
lol, the bean's so restless XD
What was keeping you so busy that you couldn’t
answer the door or answer my texts?
Eh! :mon blood: :mon blood: :mon blood:
The more she watched the petit girl, the more Eri felt like leaning in to touch her, to kiss her. To feel that soft cheek, to taste those sweet lips…
Har :drool:
Before Eri could even finish her gasping, the turtle found herself flipped to her back and pinned down by the previously sleeping girl.
Har har :drool: :drool:
Reina dove in and touched her lips with her lover’s, matching them like two perfect puzzle pieces.
Har har har :drool: :drool: :drool:
She started out softly before licking Eri’s lips with the tip of her tongue, allowing the short-haired girl to let out a near-silent moan.
:imdead:
“You don’t have to just observe the prey,” she giggled. “You’re welcome to taste it a little, too.”
It's cold but why am I starting to feel hot :on_hot:
and sleep in just her tank top and underwear
Gosh
Eri had slept in a white, button-down pajama top with just her underwear as well.
Again, gosh... and I'm reading with my long-sleeved shirt and underwear as well :grin: okay, was just kidding :D
“So that was your plan!” the kitten hissed.
Trouble.?. :D
“You’re the type who keeps running forward, even though there’s a brick wall.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: love it :twothumbs
“And, you know, I have an idea of how I can get… um… used to you… a little quicker.”
:w00t:
Eri felt something hit her head and fall on her desk. She blinked quickly a couple times before turning to look at her friend next to her. The bean rolled her eyes as she pointed at the scrunched up paper ball on the turtle’s desk.
Restless much XD
Okay, let me break it down for you specifically, aho Kame.
I love it when Risa calls her aho :inlove:
“… My girlfriend is straddling me on my couch while trying to get in a kiss, and she’s only dressed in a tank top and underwear,” Eri narrated, “and you think I can stay calm?”
Eri has a point Reina :D
She slowly started to undo each button as the turtle watched her face intently.
Getting somewhere nice :drool:
“I don’t want anybody else but me to think you’re cute. Don’t go around making people fall for you.”
lol
“I… I really love you, Eri. Can you believe me when I say that?”
“I always have,” Eri smiled.
:heart:
“You can touch me too, you know,” Reina whispered through the kiss.
Oh gosh
Suddenly, the door bell rang out loud and clear throughout the apartment, followed by some loud knocking.
I love you Risa but go away :mon blowhorn: lol
“KAMEHA, I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE!” a loud voice boomed from behind the door. “You were supposed to come to my house last night, remember? What happened? Are you sleeping?”
XD
“I should really get that—”
“Definitely not!” Reina hissed.
:grin: Totally lovely to imagine :D
“You know, I’m starting to hear this name ‘Risa’ a lot… She’s just a childhood friend, right?”
Oh boy, trouble :onioncheer:
“There are more important things we can do at the moment.”
Kame, ignore the door
“Okay, I should seriously get the door now, Risa-chan isn’t kidding,” Eri sighed.
OMG :wahaha:
“Your choice is between copying your friends homework and making out with your girlfriend,” Reina said, raising an eyebrow, “and you’re going to choose homework?”
Girlfriends really can make your grades drop :roll: lol
“… I guess a couple bad grades won’t make much difference,” Eri shrugged, allowing Reina to smile.
:on lol: :on lol: :on lol:
Oh, you are so having perverted thoughts right now.
OMG :wahaha: :wahaha: :wahaha:
Eri looked up at her teacher who smiled down at her before clearing her throat and reading the note. Risa gasped as she started to panic.
Now this is the real trouble :lol:
“ ‘Well, you get the general gist of what happened’,” Takahashi sensei read out loud.
Oh boy :lol:
“ ‘Why don’t you tell me your side of the story, Risa-chan? Anything new going on…’” Her voice traveled off at the unfinished sentence.
Hmmm
“No, I’m just good at watching my students,” Ai smiled sweetly.
I love you Sensei :grin:
Risa picked up her pencil once more and started to madly scribble down the notes that she had not copied yet off the board.
Risa = :on study:
Eri started to do the same but her pace slowed down more and more until it came to a complete halt.
Eri = :gmon shy:
Did you like it?
Me loves every bit :twothumbs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 40
“Move it, weirdo!”
The girl yelled as she pushed Sayumi out of the classroom, and briskly walked away. The bunny threw a death glare at the one who had pushed her and then sighed. She had been sticking her head out of the classroom and looking around after the bell had rung, signaling the end of class. She was looking for any signs of an ambush, a sudden hug or a “Hey, Usa-chan!” or “Shige-san, Ohayou~”. But nothing had come.
The black-haired girl sighed once more before slowly walking down the hallway. While gliding across the hall, her eyes continued to shift around, looking for signs of the panda. But nothing stood out again. It was just a normal day, where clusters of girls gathered around in cliques, chatting and eating snacks.
Had Junjun really forgotten about her? Was Sayumi really “free”, like the yankii leader had said? Even though the bunny had only won the race because opponent fell… she really had nothing to do with the gang anymore?
And why was Sayumi even wondering about such things? Shouldn’t she be happy that she was finally free of the panda’s grasp? It’s such simple logic; she had won the challenge, therefore earning her liberty. That was a good thing; it was supposed to be a good thing.
So why did she feel so empty inside? Junjun and Aika and Linlin had always been there, ever since she transferred into Morning Gakuen. Perhaps for that reason, Sayumi felt that a big chunk of her life was suddenly gone. There was a hole in her memories, and things were too quiet and unusually austere.
As she continued to walk down the hall, the bunny started to notice that it was getting louder and louder. Girls were squealing and saying greetings brightly at the coming figures while waving and smiling. Sayumi stopped dead in her tracks as she realized the people walking towards her.
Junjun was in the middle, as always, nodding and winking at the girls that she passed by. Aika was playing with her camera again while Linlin was waving at everybody she passed by as though two hands weren’t enough to send her love and greetings. The surrounding girls were trying to seem as pretty as possible, flipping their hair flirtatiously and giggling nervously. All Sayumi could do was watch, as her body froze all over. She watched the three girls approach her, walking closer and closer towards her, until Junjun’s eyes finally shifted to her. Sayumi couldn’t read the panda’s expression; she just seemed… normal. Then, the yankii leader smiled and winked at her, just like she did to the other girls.
“Ohayou,” she said, lifting her hand. With that, she walked right past the bunny with Aika and Linlin trailing behind. The two under girls sent nervous glances towards her, but decided not to say anything.
Sayumi stood very still, her eyes wide open. It really was over. Junjun was treating her just like any other girl and wasn’t teasing her anymore. She had kept her promise.
No. This wasn’t right, this didn’t feel right at all. No, no, no, this couldn’t be happening. Sayumi whipped around and quickly dashed after the panda and grabbed her arm.
“Matte!” she yelled, her eyes showing desperation.
Junjun turned around and smiled. “Yes?” she asked. That smile. It wasn’t genuine, like it used to be. It was a mask, a convenient tool to use in order to appear friendly to everyone. It was fake, a lie. No, no, no, Sayumi didn’t want this kind of treatment. She could hear the other girls whispering behind her, talking shit about the “new girl” and how dare she grab Junjun that way. But Sayumi always knew she was selfish and she was going to stay selfish. Especially when it came to Junjun’s attention.
“You…” she started, as the hallway got silent, “that… that’s it?”
“What do you mean?” the yankii leader questioned, still with that fake smile.
“It’s… over? Just like that?” Sayumi whispered, blinking furiously to hold back the tears.
“I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say, I’m sorry,” Junjun laughed. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I really need to get going. Aika. Linlin.”
“W-wait!”
As Junjun turned around to leave, the bunny grabbed her arm again. But instead of being pulled back, Junjun pulled Sayumi towards herself and put her lips to her ear. The other students who were watching gasped and started to whisper furiously once more.
“You’re drawing a crowd, Usa-chan,” Junjun whispered coldly. “At this rate, you’ll be hated even more in this school, if that’s even possible.”
“How could you…” Sayumi mumbled, unable to finish the sentence. How could you end it so quickly?
“You’re the one who wanted to be let go,” Junjun continued, “and I gave you what you wanted. Since your wish came true, I’d appreciate it if you leave me alone now and get rid of any false pretenses you have about our relationship. It’s annoying.”
Sayumi gasped as her eyes widened. Was this truly the person she had been with for the past couple months? The Junjun she knew was comical, unserious, yet warm and compassionate. This kind of cold attitude, such a distant atmosphere… it couldn’t be Junjun…
The yankii leader backed away as she combed her finger through the bunny’s hair. She smiled that fake smile once more and held up her hand.
“There was a fuzz ball in your hair,” the panda chuckled. The observing students sighed a breath of relief all around. “Well, I’ll see you girls around.”
Junjun turned around and started to walk away. Aika and Linlin hesitated for a little while before quickly following after their leader.
“Is it really okay like this, Jun-senpai?” Aika carefully asked.
“It’s fine,” Junjun said in a low voice.
“Shige-san seems really upset though,” Linlin mumbled.
“It just means we’ve been around her for too long; she’s too used to us,” Junjun answered. “With time, she’ll be glad to be uninvolved with delinquents like us.” I’ll let her go, even if I have to shake her off… because that’s love.
Meanwhile, Sayumi stayed frozen in place, her eyes wide in shock. It seemed as though she was staring at the floor but she was actually not seeing anything. She couldn’t hear or feel anything around her either. All she could do was think about what she had just heard…
I’d appreciate it if you get rid of any false pretenses you have about our relationship. It’s annoying.
Suddenly, Sayumi found her cheeks being soaked with tears. Weird hiccupping noises started to come out from the back of her throat as her chest moved quickly up and down. Before she could be laughed at, the bunny sprinted to the bathroom and locked herself in the last stall. There, she crouched to the ground, buried her face in her knees, and sobbed. She cried out loud, ashamed and abandoned, and confused.
Why am I crying? She wondered. Who is Junjun to me that I’m crying over someone like her? My… friend… my first friend… no, she’s even more than that… She has to be more than that to me…
But the words she whispered to me… isn’t love.
** ** **
“I’m telling you, Sensei, the packet is too fat!” Risa groaned, slamming the stapler down on the table. “Exactly how many worksheets are you preparing for us?”
“Enough to get you all through the semester,” Ai laughed. “If the stapler doesn’t work, use paper clips. I’m pretty sure there’s a box of it in my bag, you can look through it.”
The teacher started to take one sheet from each pile of worksheet and create packets again. She stacked them on the side where her class representative, who was sitting next to her, was supposed to staple them. But since there were just too many papers, the bean was now scourging her teacher’s back for paper clips.
Takahashi-sensei and Risa were in the school library during a free period, creating work packets for the class. Their relationship seemed to have gone back to normal, but Risa was being much more open with her feelings towards her teacher. This made Ai feel kind of awkward at times but since her student was being so bold, she didn’t want to be the weaker one as the teacher.
“You really give us too much work,” the bean grumbled. “I can already hear Kameha whining about this.”
“Oh, you’ll all thank me later,” Sensei chuckled. “I am aware that I’m a pretty hardcore teacher… strict and merciless, you know? But I still don’t understand why kids in your class still like me.”
“It’s your face,” Risa teased. “You’re too pretty.”
“Wow. That’s not something I hear every day,” Ai laughed, flattered.
“Really? Well, you can hear it every day now because I’ll tell you every day,” Risa grinned. “I think you’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen, Sensei. One of the smaller reasons why I—”
“And stop right there!” Takahashi-sensei interrupted, frowning. “We’re still in school, you know.”
“I don’t really care; nobody’s listening anyway,” Risa said, rolling her eyes. “I want to constantly remind you about who I am to you.”
“What are you to me?” the teacher asked.
“Student,” the bean smiled. “But more than that, the one who loves you the most in this world.”
“How cute. It’s sounds like something I’d hear from a little sister,” Ai smiled smugly. “You know, I always wanted a little sister.”
“Well, I don’t want a big sister,” Risa huffed. “That’s not what I’m looking for in you.”
“Okay, let’s just get this work done before the period ends,” Ai chuckled.
And so, the pair continued to make packets and stack them in silence, occasionally meeting eyes and just smiling at each other. Although Risa looked at Ai with love and admiration in her eyes, the teacher only revealed politeness. The bean knew this, but she didn’t care at this point. She was just glad that she and Sensei could talk to each other again.
“Okay!” Takahashi-sensei said finally. “We’re finished! Thank you for helping out, Gaki-san, as always.”
“You’re welcome, as always,” Risa grinned. “Do you have any more work you need to do?”
“No, I just need to go photocopy something else but it’s something very little,” Ai answered, putting the stack of packets in her bag.
“I’ll go with you!” Risa volunteered immediately. “I just want to check out a book first; will you wait for me, Sensei?”
“Why don’t you just check out your book and go back to class?” Ai grinned. “I can handle the rest of the work myself, Gaki-san.”
“No, I want to go with you!” the bean insisted, not caring if she came off as a brat. “Wait up for me!”
“Okay, okay!” Ai laughed. “Make it quick.”
Risa dashed to one of the bookshelves and started to scan each row. Ai watched her from the end of the aisle as she turned to check the clock. The bean smiled as she finally found the book she was looking for at the bottom shelf. She bent down and pulled it out and started to read the back cover to make sure it was the right book. Ai turned back to call for her student when she noticed the books at the top shelf, above Risa, moving out by itself. The teacher’s eyes widened in horror as the books started to move out of the shelves more and more, as though it was about to fall out.
“Gaki-san!” Ai yelled. She dashed forward to her student as the books at the top shelf came crashing down. She managed to push Risa down to the floor just in time and protect her from the falling books by covering her with her own body. The hardcover novels crashed down on Sensei’s back and shoulders, but left Risa without a scratch. Then, there was only silence.
“S-sensei!” Risa yelled at the teacher who was on top of her. “Are you okay? Are you hurt?”
“I’m fine,” Ai said hoarsely, smiling. “Are you safe, Gaki-san? Did you get hit?”
“No, I didn’t get hit,” Risa said in an angry tone, “because you jumped in! Why would you do something like that? You could’ve gotten seriously hurt!”
“I’m glad you’re okay,” Ai laughed, ignoring the bean’s comment. She slowly got up, clutching her left shoulder. “How did the books even fall down?”
“Uh… that would be my fault…” a nervous voice said.
As Risa got back up to her feet again, she turned around to see her classmate standing behind her, smiling nervously. She had slightly chubby cheeks but a pretty face with curly light brown hair. Next to her was another familiar girl with medium-length brown hair.
“Konno and Ogawa,” Takahashi-sensei said.
“Gomenasai, Sensei,” Asami said, biting her bottom lip. “I was trying to get a book from the other side in the top shelf, and I accidently pushed it in…”
“I told you that the books didn’t go that far in, Konkon!” Makoto said, rolling her eyes. “You almost killed Gaki-san there.”
“That’s a slight exaggeration, Makocchan…” Risa said, laughing nervously. “It’s okay, Konkon. It could happen to anyone. And Sensei is okay too… right?”
“Yes, I’ll be fine—OW!” Ai ended up yelling out loud when she tried to stretch her arms. She immediately clutched her shoulder again, her expression revealing obvious pain.
“Sensei!” Risa yelled.
“Sumimasen! Sumimasen!” Asami apologized, panicking.
“I think you should get that checked out in the infirmary, Sensei,” Makoto suggested.
“No, I’m really fine, you girls can go back to class,” Ai reassured.
“No, I’m not going back to class when you’re hurt like this!” Risa said. She grabbed her teacher’s uninjured arm and pulled her along. On the way, the bean swooped down and slung Ai’s back on her own shoulders and escorted the teacher out of the library.
“Konno, don’t feel bad about it!” Ai yelled behind her, still hearing the little apologetic chants of her student. “I’ll be fine! Really! Gaki-san is overreacting!”
“Konkon, will you calm down?” Makoto moaned in the distance.
Risa closed the library door behind her as she continued to pull her teacher down the hallway towards the infirmary. She completely ignored all of her teacher’s insistence on her complete and total health and finally reached her destination. She opened the door, pulled her teacher in, and swung her around to sit her down on the cot. Risa looked around, and noticed that the doctor was on lunch break. The office was empty.
“Well, since the doctor isn’t here either,” Ai started, “I think we should just leave.”
“No way, Sensei,” the bean said firmly. “Your shoulder is obviously bruised. Here, I’ll just make an ice pack.”
The student walked over to one of the cabinets and took out a plastic baggie. She then opened the fridge and removed a tray of ice cubes. She popped a couple out and put them in the bag before putting the tray back into the freezer. She then tied the ice pack baggie and walked back to her teacher.
“Unbutton your blouse,” Risa ordered.
“Um, it’s okay, I’ll just place it over my shirt,” Ai mumbled.
“It’s more effective if it hits skin,” the bean said, reaching for the top button. “If you’re not going to do it, then I will.”
“No, stop!” the teacher said, backing away. “I’ll… I’ll do it myself.”
Slowly, Ai started to undo the top buttons of her collar shirt. She then slipped down the left side of the shirt, enough to show a little bit of her bra as well as a full view of her bra straps. There was a large bruise on her shoulder, in the shade of blue and purple.
“Oh, you’re definitely not hurt at all, Sensei,” Risa said sarcastically, before pressing the ice pack on the bruise.
“AGH! COLD!” Ai yelled out, almost jumping up before Risa pushed her down again.
“Oh~ so that’s how I make you lose your composure,” the younger girl laughed. “If you want the bruise to be healed quickly, you have to keep the ice on, okay, Sensei?”
“… Okay,” the teacher squeaked, wrinkling her face, obviously not very comfortable with the ice on her shoulder. “I guess I should thank you, Gaki-san…”
“No problem,” Risa grinned. “I’ll do anything for you, Sensei. Really.”
Ai turned her head to look at the girl was pressing the ice pack down on her shoulder. Risa’s face was actually a lot closer than she had anticipated. The bean was focused on the bruise as she pressed the ice pack up and down. Her caring face, her smile, her brightness… it had always been there but for some reason, it seemed even more prominent today. Her hair seemed soft and her cheeks seemed smooth… Had she always been this pretty? Before she knew it, Ai was entranced.
“Sensei…?” Risa asked, meeting her teacher’s eyes after noticing Ai leaning in closer. “Are you okay?”
Ai didn’t answer. She subconsciously started to lean closer and closer towards the younger girl until their lips were only a couple millimeters apart. Risa’s eyes widened in shock, but she was unable to move away.
“Risa…”
That took the bean by an even bigger surprise. Her teacher never called her by her first name before. It felt so… familiar. Her heart felt so close to Ai’s…
Still not fully realizing what she was doing, the older woman slowly leaned forward even more. She could almost taste Risa’s sweet lips against her own, soft and warm…
Suddenly, the school bell rang out, snapping the teacher back to full conscience. Ai immediately pulled back in surprise, as did Risa. They stood staring at each other for a while in silence, until the student finally spoke up.
“I… I think I’ll go back to class now,” she mumbled.
The bean quickly ran out of the nurse’s office and shut the door behind her. Her entire body was trembling with shock, excitement, and confusion. She leaned against the wall and covered her mouth. She could feel her cheeks heating up.
What was that? She thought. Sensei was trying to… kiss me? She really was trying to kiss me! But… why?
Meanwhile, on the other side of the door, Ai picked up the ice pack that was dropped to the floor. She balanced it on her shoulder once more and sighed. Her fingers automatically when to her lips and slightly touched it.
What the hell am I trying to do…? She thought. You know better than that, Ai. Stop falling for her, damn it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next is back to SayuJun. I'm moving along with this, it's gonna go quick :sweatdrop:
:byebye: :sleep:
-
Sayu is still in love with Jun and a TakaGaki moment :)
-
POor Sayu...
BuT Takagaki Moment!!! kyaa ah!!!
Please more Takagaki!

“Unbutton your blouse,” Risa ordered.
“Um, it’s okay, I’ll just place it over my shirt,” Ai mumbled.
“It’s more effective if it hits skin,” the bean said, reaching for the top button. “If you’re not going to do it, then I will.”
:kekeke: You'd like that wouldn't you Risa-chan..
Still not fully realizing what she was doing, the older woman slowly leaned forward even more. She could almost taste Risa’s sweet lips against her own, soft and warm…
:luvluv1:
Suddenly, the school bell rang out, snapping the teacher back to full conscience. Ai immediately pulled back in surprise, as did Risa.
So close.. :farofflook:
Not a horribly written chapter at all! It was great. Especially the takagaki :ding: Moar plz LOL. Can't wait for next chappy :onioncheer:
-
an update! :w00t:
sayu finally approached jun... but junjun is so stubborn :smhid
What the hell am I trying to do…? She thought. You know better than that, Ai. Stop falling for her, damn it!
takagaki in the infirmary :lol:
gaki-san advances is working! :heart:
-
TakaGaki :wub: I love those two :wub:
Junjun's being mean :banghead:
Can't wait for new chapter :D
-
What is it with people and thier noble streaks in this fic, first we have Ai thinking that Gaki deserves someone better than her because of something she did in her past and now Jun is doing something similar because she loves Sayu and thinks that Sayu dosn't really love her becasue she's a Yankii and everything :banghead: Ahh, Aika and Lin really need to stand up to her on this one I feel, or at least tell Reina what they suspect so that she can return the favor!!
Arrrgggghhhhhh!!! Ai was so close to kissing Gaki :panic: stupid class bells, why do I get a sinking feeling that this close encounter may make Ai re-double her efforts to not get attached to Gaki in any way! :sweatdrop:
-
oh ma gah oh ma gah oh ma gah oh ma gah!!!! :panic: i loves it~~~!! i felt so bad for sayu! >.< she needs to slap some sense into junjun...or atleast aika or lin XD someone!
and takagaki..... :inlove: SENSEI JUST MAKE OUT WITH HER ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im sure u'll be healed with the lips of niigaki :thumbsup XD i cant wait for the next chappy aiai X3 and please dont worry about rushing chapters^^ just take ur tiem k? >3<
-
I love the 'double feature' in this chapter. Both pieces were kind of short, so I'm glad you combined them.
Poor Sayu, would she ever have the courage to tell Jun how she really feels? I'm not so sure, not after the way Jun treated her, but maybe the youngins will come to her instead. Will they have the courage to disobey their leader? I hope so, 'cause I really don't like seeing Sayu in pain.
Now onto my favorite, Takagaki. I love how affectionate Risa is being, also how dramatic. :lol: It might make things a little awkward, but I think it's only because Ai feels the same way. Any other person and they wouldn't be able to banter back and forth like that. I got all tense when the books fell, I wasn't expecting an accident in the library, but the cameo of Konkon and Mako-chan made me happy.
“How cute. It’s sounds like something I’d hear from a little sister,” Ai smiled smugly. “You know, I always wanted a little sister.”
:roll: Forced~! So forced, Ai, who ya trying to convince?
Risa is so sweet, I totally wouldn't be able to resist her. :lol:
What was that? She thought. Sensei was trying to… kiss me? She really was trying to kiss me! But… why?
I wonder what she's going to do with this now? Would she even try to confront Ai? She might end up pushing her away if she did, maybe if she was a bit more subtle about it...?
What the hell am I trying to do…? She thought. You know better than that, Ai. Stop falling for her, damn it!
:w00t: :w00t:
-
Welcome back~ :gmon flowers:
You know you want it Ai!! Listen to us, just go for it :panic:
As for JunSayu... Sayu will probably need the help of Lin and Aika if she wants to get her girl back...
I can't believe this chapter is rushed... you must have a real talent to write so good in such short time :shocked
please take your time to write so you like your fic too. We can wait :)
-
oh I thought you had abandoned the fic :farofflook:

JunJun stop being stubborn and stick with Sayu :dizzy:

@astro18: lol glad you still liked it, even though i rushed :lol:
@eruchan: yeah, Gakisan's taking it at her pace now :D
@shenlog: Junjun's being mean + an idiot :P
@oddball: that really is the theme of this fic, huh? "Chigatte mo Iin da yo! ~ It's okay to be different!~" All the characters are currently at a state where they don't think it's okay to be different and not like an average person (except maybe Reina and Eri who are starting to get over the differences) XD
@kawaii beam: aww~ you're always so sweet~ and I'm really starting to get used to being called aiai :wub: :lol:
@rndmnwierd: Yeah, i had a feeling some of you guys would kill me if i release a super short chapter after such a long hiatus :nervous and i totally just threw in konkon and makocchan by random chance XD
@Tchips: Tadaima~ :lol: usually, i'm actually the one who can't wait to right but reality/life isn't giving me time to actually type. only imagine :lol:
@Airidoki: OMG I NEVER abandon something I start. I'm the type who can't stand leaving stuff unfinished. this fic will never be dropped, i assure you :D
@kano-chan: lol well, noisy girls around junjun could be one reason but... eh, we'll see :P
@sunc: thatz right, blame the bell :D
thanks for the intense amount of comments, minna! I read them through my cell during lecture, and as usual, the person sitting next to me was staring at me weirdly cuz I was smiling too much XD
I'm in the middle of the next chapter which is another sayujun (just cuz i got the inspiration for it) and then we're heading back ot TanaKame (which I plan to write a lot about so it'll take time) :thumbsup
-
Urgh, I can't take another long break from this story. *rolls around* I felt like I developed the junkie itch when you didn't update, refreshing the page every few hours or so. :lol: :lol: I'm an addict~!
-
UWAAAHHH!!! senseeeiii!!! sensei sensei
stupid bell! why do schools have that anyways~?! it is not so necessary, i could stare to the clock til time tells me i have to go!
--i feel sorry for the bunny. but i care more about the takagaki at the moment.

-
LOL!!! SarangAi!! look at what you did?!.. you made everyone a junkie to your fanfic!! :nervous i thought it was only me but it looks like everyone has it just as bad.. :lol: i'm coping with my addiction a little bit better than before.. XD 'cause Chapter 39 made me super high that i have yet to crave for more.. though i think once my high with that chapter is over i'm gonna crave sooooo bad for a TanaKame.. :panic:
I’ll let her go, even if I have to shake her off… because that’s love.
thats dumb-dumb... :smhid where do they get the idea that love is like that??.. LOL!!
But the words she whispered to me… isn’t love.
yup! those words are words of a stubborn and malfunctioning mind.. :lol:
and Gakisan making smooth moves on sensei once again,, its only a matter of time.. :roll:
also i'm gonna have to break every bell in that school.. :thumbdown:
-
@rndmnwierd: lol I'm sorry I'm giving you drugs :lol:
@aya-chii: Kame is coming in the chapter after this one~ :P
@mmsuki: Don't get hooked too much! I don't know the cure for the addiction... :nervous yeah, crush the bells :twisted:
Here is a pretty length SayuJun! It's pretty damn length considering they're the third main couple... but the next TanaKame chapter is planed to be even longer so... yah, hope you guys are cool with it XD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 41
“Look at her, pathetically staring outside like that. She’s finally getting what she deserves.”
Don’t listen to them, Sayumi. Just ignore them and stay cool…
“She probably thought she was something special to Junjun. How stupid.”
Don’t spare your time to even turn around to look at them. It’s not worth it.
“She’s so stuck-up. She doesn’t even have any friends yet she acts like she’s a princess or something. Serves her right to be rejected by Junjun like that.”
Just breathe in the air and relax…
Sayumi inhaled deeply as she continued to stare out the open window in the hallway. At first, she had just been looking out but eventually, she started sticking her head out more and more to ignore the gossipy comments being made about her by other girls. The way Sayumi had grabbed Junjun that morning had already spread through the entire school by lunch time, making it hard for the bunny to get through the line in the cafeteria without someone wanting to trip her. So she just gave up before someone could dump garbage on her or do something of that sort. After all, Junjun wasn’t going to be there to save her this time.
The pale-skinned girl breathed in and out steadily, as she stared at the courtyard below. Students were gathered in cliques, eating lunch and chatting with each other. The other girls who were eating in the classrooms were busy gossiping about the antisocial new girl and how big-headed she was to grab Junjun the way she did.
“It took long enough for her to be dumped. Junjun’s done playing with her.”
Stop saying that. I have feelings too, you know.
“Technically, she wasn’t dumped because they were never together in the first place. It was all in her head.”
That’s a lie! I wasn’t the only one who felt that way towards her… that…
“I guess you’re right.”
More laughter came from behind Sayumi, who was starting to fume more than breathe. After she had cried in the bathroom that morning, she had come out with a straight face, to reveal no signs of weakness. But the truth was, she was in pain. She had realized her true feelings for the yankii leader, only it was too late. If she had realized it was love earlier on, would things have been different?
“I guess Junjun just felt bad for her before, since she had no friends. But there’s a reason why that girl doesn’t have friends.”
Do you know how hard it is to fit in at a new school? Especially when we’re already this old? This isn’t like kindergarten!
“Aika and Linlin aren’t talking to her anymore either. I guess it’s tiring to pretend to be nice to someone so mean.”
That’s a lie! They were the first people in the world that I felt comfortable with, and they liked me too! They liked me for who I am… and not even my parents did that.
“She’s finished. Her social life is over now.”
“Did she have any in the first place?”
More laughter. More whispers. More pain. Sayumi couldn’t tell which one was the worst. Not that she had to choose, since they were all coming at her at the same time like darts.
What could she do now? The first person who had become her friend, her family, her love… that person was drifting away. Was it already too late? Was there absolutely no way to mend this relationship? Junjun had said such mean things to her in the morning, words that meant total rejection. Completely opposite of love, much less friendship.
“Hey, look! Junjun, Aika, and Linlin are in the courtyard!”
Sayumi’s head dropped down as her eyes started to scan the benches, the trees, the grass. A small crowd was already forming around the gang, girls like pecking chickens who are only eager to make a good impression. They were merely admirers, people who regarded Junjun as a queen who was meant to be watched, not touched. She was too superior for that. But that wasn’t what Sayumi wanted. She wanted to be closer. She wanted to mean something more.
She bit down on her lips and clenched her fists. Amidst the squealing and the giggling, the bunny turned and started to run down the hallway. She had to get closer to Junjun somehow. She didn’t want to give up like this. Nothing in her life before had motivated her this much, since she practically got anything and everything she wanted since she was little. Now, it was time to earn what she desired.
The commotion grew louder in the courtyard. Before she could run down the stairs, Sayumi turned and quickly looked out the window again. The crowd was pretty immense now. They were probably thinking they could be the next girl to be taken into Junjun’s arms. Even if she made it downstairs, Sayumi realized she would never be able to get close enough to the panda to talk to her clearly with all the girls buzzing around the gang. The black-haired girl started to run the other way and poked her head out another window.
There’s got to be a way…
When Sayumi lifted her head, something else besides the courtyard below caught her eye. In front of her was an enormous tree that was about the height of the school building itself. The bunny’s memories traveled back to the time when the yankii leader had saved her from the garbage-dumping bullies. Junjun had swung down by this tree to get to the ground faster. It was also where she had cut her palm which led to the bunny band-aids…
I can’t believe I’m going to do this…
Taking a deep breath, Sayumi clenched her teeth. She carefully put her feet up on the ledge and balanced herself. She could hear the alarmed whispers behind her, calling her crazy and made and whatever other synonyms they could think of. This was the only time Sayumi could actually agree with them.
One… Two… Three!
After the silent countdown, Sayumi jumped out as far as she could and reached out for the largest tree branch that extended out. She managed to hook her arms onto the branch and pulled herself up on top of it. Then, she hugged the trunk as she carefully started to stand up. She was pretty proud of herself that she had actually gotten this far without falling. Everybody who knew her was aware of how she was sports-impaired.
Stay brave, Sayumi! You can do this! This is for Junjun… because she’s the only one who bothered to get to know the real you. That’s love… the love of the only person you can think of…
“JUNJUN!” Sayumi screamed in her loudest voice.
Everybody courtyard looked up. Some screamed, some gasped, some were too shocked to speak. After all, it wasn’t everyday they saw a girl jump on a tree to get attention. Sayumi fidgeted a bit, nervous with all the eyes on her. But specifically, it was because of a certain pair of brown eyes that was watching her with slight surprise. As she bit down on her lips again, the pale-skinned girl constricted her arms around the tree trunk even tighter.
“Oh… my… god…” Linlin gasped, her mouth dropping open.
“Uso…” Aika mumbled, “Shige-san isn’t athletic or gutsy enough to do that… right?”
“That idiot…” Junjun muttered under her breath.
“Junjun!” Sayumi yelled again. “I… I just wanted to say… I LOVE YOU!”
The crowd burst into murmurs and scornful laughter. How dare that girl confess such a thing? Junjun was nobody’s. She was a public figure, meant to be admired but belonging to no one. And this girl, this antisocial girl that everyone hated, thought she was good enough to ask for Junjun’s love? How stupid. How cocky.
“When we first met, all I could think about was getting rid of you,” Sayumi confessed, her heart pounding and her cheeks blushing. “You were loud, confident, and charismatic… everything I’m not. I was jealous and close-minded. But before I even realized it myself, I was getting used to your every action and word. You’re the first person who saw me for who I was and who I could be. I… I don’t care how many challenges I lose, as long as I can stay with you!”
“But I already lost, Usa-chan,” Junjun yelled up, smirking. “The game is over.”
“… That’s right,” Sayumi admitted, swallowing hard. “Your game is over. But it’s my turn now. This time, I’ll challenge you, Junjun! And I won’t lose you— I mean, to you! Because I lov—KYAAAAHHHH!!!!”
The branch broke with a loud crack, taking Sayumi down with it. She could hear the crowd gasping in shock as she fell through the air. It was a short moment but during that time, Sayumi found herself thinking about Junjun for a split moment.
Any moment now…
She started to expect her body to hit against the grass, or the asphalt, or something that could cause damage. But no such sensation came. Instead, there was a loud grunt as Sayumi dropped into safety. She was pulled in even closer to feel warmth… human warmth. The bunny slowly opened her eyes to see the face that she had been longing for, breathing heavily.
“Usa-chan, you’re a lot dumber than I thought,” the savior breathed. “When is it ever a good idea to climb a tree that’s two stories high, huh?”
“Junjun!” Sayumi gasped. “You… but you were just standing over there! How did you…?”
“What do you think?” the panda huffed, rolling her eyes. “I ran. I can’t have you breaking your back after you climbed that tree to confess to me. It was hell of a lot of trouble to catch you like this too, you know. You’re kind of heavy.”
“S-sorry, I’ll get down now—”
“No, stay still,” Junjun said, holding the bunny even closer, bridal style. “It’s okay to stay like this for a little longer…”
Before Sayumi could fully comprehend the yankii girl’s meaning, she found her mouth being fully covered with another pair of lips, moving slowly but hungrily. A soft squeal elicited from the bunny’s throat as she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around the panda’s neck so she wouldn’t fall backwards. Junjun’s lips started to move even more eagerly, her tongue fully exploring the inside of Sayumi’s mouth. The girl being carried could hear the observers gasp and even sob a little as they watched the two black-haired girls kiss passionately. Sayumi had been kissed by Junjun before, although it was by force, but it felt a little different this time. This wasn’t just a joke or a game. It was pure sincerity and honesty that Junjun was trying to convey. And now that she was actually enjoying this little moment, Sayumi realized what a good kisser Junjun actually was. She figured it was from experience but couldn’t decide if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
The yankii leader finally parted from the girl she was holding, leaving the victim breathless with bright red cheeks. Sayumi stared at the panda with wide eyes, surprised by what had just happened. Junjun gazed right back with that familiar grin of hers. Suddenly, everything felt so normal… so nostalgic, and so right.
“Listen up, everyone!” Junjun ordered, addressing the crowd of students watching them as well as the audience that was poking their heads out through the window. “As you have all just witnessed, this girl belongs to me now and I belong to her. Anyway who messes with Michishige Sayumi will have to answer to me, understand?”
“And me!” Aika chimed in, taking a step out of the crowd with a huge smile.
“Me too!” Linlin joined, raising her hand high up in the air.
“Okay, now that’s all settled so…” Junjun sighed as a wicked smirk stretched across her lips, “why don’t go get some privacy?”
The crowd of students fell into a commotion as Junjun started to exit the courtyard and into the school building with Sayumi still in her arms. The students expressed regret, hate, and sadness but some even expressed relief from Junjun finally settling down… or so it seemed.
“I still can’t believe Shige-san climbed a tree,” Aika said, laughing. “Didn’t see that one coming at all.”
“I love happy endings,” Linlin sighed contently, grinning.
Meanwhile, Junjun was already strutting down the hallways, not caring about who was staring and whispering. Sayumi felt a little ashamed at being carried but she knew the panda had no intention of putting her down at the moment. So she decided to ignore the staring as best as she could and started up a conversation instead.
“You… you’re not mad at me?” Sayumi mumbled, still not believing the current situation.
“Why would I be mad at you?” Junjun asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Because you were being so mean to me this morning!” the bunny yelled. “You said I was annoying, and that I shouldn’t bother you anymore!”
“Oh… I did say that, huh?” Junjun chuckled. “Well, I only said it because I thought you hated me.”
“Why would you think that?” Sayumi frowned.
“Well, other than the fact that you actually told me you hate me a couple times before, you’ve tried slapping me once and failed, actually succeeded in slapping me at the karaoke place, and swore you will defeat me and break away from me multiple times so…” Junjun smiled as she shrugged. Sayumi bit down on her lips.
“… I guess I did come off as a hateful person,” the bunny admitted.
“It’s okay, I wasn’t hurt that much,” the panda grinned. “It’s just that you’re going to have to put up with being a yankii leader’s girlfriend now and always stay on alert so you don’t kidnapped or something—”
“Wait!” Sayumi yelled. “Did you just say… girlfriend?”
“Well, yeah,” Junjun said, cocking her head. “That is what you are to me now, aren’t you? And I’m the same for you… aren’t I?”
“I… I guess…” the bunny mumbled, blushing a little. “It… um… it has a nice ring to it… I like it.”
“I can’t believe this,” Junjun laughed. “I was trying to warn you about the possible dangers you could be in by being my girl and all you caught from my warning was the obvious fact that we’re dating now?”
“Oh… Well, should I be scared?” Sayumi asked quietly.
“Maybe,” Junjun grinned. “But I don’t want you to be. I’m going to protect you with all I have, Michishige Sayumi-san, you can count on that. And if I can’t be there by some unavoidable circumstances, Aika and Linlin will be. I swear, I’m not going to let my status ruin you too.”
“… You just called me Sayumi,” the pale-skinned girl said, gasping softly.
“There you go again!” Junjun moaned. “I was making a serious promise there and all you can think of is the fact that I said your name?”
“But you always call me Usa-chan!” Sayumi explained. “But now… you just called me by my full name.”
“Like I said, I was making a serious promise,” Junjun grinned. “I’m unserious most of the time, I guess, but my feelings for you are nothing but sincerity. Please believe me.”
“… I do,” Sayumi answered quietly. “And… even if I say a lot of mean things, I hope you know I don’t… you know…”
“… Mean them?”
“Oh, I mean them sometimes but…” Sayumi hesitated, “I hope you know how to filter out my words, you know what I’m saying?”
“I think so,” Junjun chuckled. “Don’t worry; I actually think your poison tongue is one of your greater charms. It makes me want to annoy you more.”
“Good to know,” Sayumi muttered.
“Oh, and about that challenged you mentioned when you were up on the tree?” Junjun grinned. “I’m willing to take you up on that.”
“… What do you have in mind?” the bunny asked, raising an eyebrow.
“How about… “
Junjun started to smile even more as she put down Sayumi on her feet. The bunny looked around, realizing they were at a completely different place now. It was the school’s gymnasium, which was empty now since it was lunch period. Junjun pushed Sayumi up against the wall and trapped her between her arms. The pale-skinned girl just stared up with wide eyes, starting to get a little nervous.
“… Whoever can kiss longer without losing her breath wins?” Junjun smirked, leaning in closer.
“That’s not fair! You’re obviously going to win!” Sayumi complained, feeling her face heat up already.
“Scared already?” the panda teased. “If you win, you can ask for whatever you want from me. But if I win… I get to kiss somewhere else besides your lips.”
“… Fine,” Sayumi answered. She didn’t even know why she was agreeing to such a deal; the results were set already. But she didn’t care whether she won or lost. Either way, her prize or punishment were both going to be the same thing.
“You’re going to get an ownership mark on your neck after this game, Usa-chan,” Junjun murmured, leaning in closer until her lips were only a centimeter away from her girlfriend’s. “And for the round after that, maybe you’ll get the same mark somewhere else too…”
With that, the yankii kissed her lover with all the emotions she could draw out. Sayumi obliged happily as she kissed back with the same amount of love and passion. Her tongue worked a little too quickly, and she knew she would easily be out of breath soon. But she didn’t care. Rather, that was what she wanted. She could challenge her lover as many times as she wanted with the punishments continuing over and over again endlessly. As long as it was against the special person in front of her, Sayumi didn’t want this game to end any time soon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I didn't really edit so if there are mistakes... yeah, use ur imgination :nervous
This was fun to write though, so i hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did :D
So here's a confession: Arc 1 is ending. XD
Specifically, it's ending within the next 3-4 chapters.
I could go on to an Arc 2 story (which I have planned if needed) or I could just end it after Arc 1. :roll:
So yeah. I'm thinking. :lol:
I'll see how I feel about it by the end of Arc 1 XD
But don't worry about that. For now, just enjoy the itty bitty pieces i'm giving... :nervous
:byebye: :sleep:
-
First! XD
I totally should have gone to bed as soon as I got home, but I decided to check the forum and now I'm glad I did. Sayu finally getting her girl! Who would have thought that she would do something so dangerous to get attention, but I guess she must have been pretty desperate. Now there's just Takagaki to get together. Can you do that in 3-4 chapters?
You know we'll all ask you for the second Arc. You know it. :lol: I guess I'll be the first.
Second Arc, please! We never want you to stop writing, we always want to see more, so please! XD XD
-
Damn second -_-

The bunny's confession :bow:
Finally, JunSayu are together :wub:
Wait for the Arc2 with all of my heart :wub:
-
o_O SayuJun! :heart: finally :lol:
Taking a deep breath, Sayumi clenched her teeth. She carefully put her feet up on the ledge and balanced herself. She could hear the alarmed whispers behind her, calling her crazy and made and whatever other synonyms they could think of. This was the only time Sayumi could actually agree with them.
One… Two… Three!
wow, usa-chan... yep, that's crazy :lol:
they sure are making such a show at school... :lol: well, jun's a school celebrity
-

-
Oh~this is such a great update. First up, my apologizes for not commenting on the previous chapters you wrote. However, I've been reading them of course~ XD
I'm really loving how SayuJun is turning out. I guess it is because I do not pay so much attention to Junjun when I see MM that I might start looking at her in a different light now after reading your stories
The effects of fanfictions XD
And why would we not be happy about tanakamei?~~~~Of course it should be long since they're the main couple~~Can't wait, can't wait!
-
I let out a super loud silent "Eeehhhh???" when Sayu was on the tree. :shocked :shocked:
When Sayu confessed--> :mon spit:
Of course she RAN! :lol:
Mouth wide open when they kissed! :shock:
I agree with Lin; I love happy endings. :lol: XD
I hope Jun wins so she can kiss elsewhere... :mon blood:
Thanks for the cute chappie! :twothumbs
-
you do not know how mad I was expecting the couple's part SayuJun :dizzy:
I'm very happy, cute chapter :shy2:
you'll end the chapter of SayuJun? or am I going crazy? :shock:
I'm already imagining the next chapter in Tanakame :wahaha:
if you know what I mean :mon psst:
Finally, thanks for the update and another update please :mon thumb:
-
okay- so, this:
“Unbutton your blouse,” Risa ordered.
made me look for an clothes-ripping emoti to fully express my internal wishful thinking.
and then, this:
Slowly, Ai started to undo the top buttons of her collar shirt. She then slipped down the left side of the shirt, enough to show a little bit of her bra as well as a full view of her bra straps. There was a large bruise on her shoulder, in the shade of blue and purple.
made me :mon bleed2:. Did you describe it so graphically for a reason? wonder where Risa's eyes were during this striptease. GJ, Gaki-san!
And SayuJun drama came to a nice conclusion. Sayu's trial by fire and Jun's public declaration of intent was fantastic.
I second Arc 2. You know you can't get away with it now. Break 'em up and put 'em back together... you know you want to.
-
lol yay~ new chapter and it's CONFESSION~~~~~~~~ :deco: XD had to use new emot.^^; but yeah i'm happy junsayu are together now~ X3 and 2nd arc do waant pweez aiai~ :inlove:

@gracula: well, who doesn't want to imagine Aichan strip-teasing... :twisted:
@kawaii beam: OMG i didn't even notice that new emoticon! XD

So yeah, i'm planning the second arc now :lol:
I'm not going to really tell you guys what the second arc is about, but each couple will have their own little problems to worry about :D
And with a new arc, I'm going to make a new trailer (something really short) cuz i feel like making a video XD
So yeah. That is all. I'm writin. :cow:
-
-__- do that next time!
Well rndmnwierd won that one XD
So... how have you been =O?
-
I know I'm late!!!
Finally Jun and Usa-chan are together! I wasn't expecting it so soon after 'their' last chapter but Sayu climbing that tree solved everything :shocked (glad it's a story though because Sayu would have totally missed the branch in reality and would have crashed on the floor in reality :doh: )
I'm not really into arc 2 because you'll break them too soon after they got together (oooh yeah you know what I mean) but I'll read it anyway :nervous
-
Hi SarangAi!
I've been reading your stories for a while now and, thought I come out of being anonymous.
You're a very good writer! I'm never disappointed in any chapter...only my excitement grows. ^-^
I can't wait for the next chapter! Keep up the AWESOME work.
Make sure you keep in good health and sleep well!
-
@mmsuki: Don't get hooked too much! I don't know the cure for the addiction... :nervous yeah, crush the bells :twisted:
who said i was looking for a cure??.. LOL.. i'm perfectly fine being an addict.. :P because the only cure for addiction is quiting! and i have no, as in NO plans of quiting... hahaha.. :grin: crushed and pulverized... no more interruption next time.. 8)2
Sayu confessing, Junjun running to her rescue and that awesome, awesome, AWESOME game was played.. :panic: :twothumbs
there is really no loser in that game.. its a win-win either way, but it would be great if Junjun won every single time.. :lol:
-
Aww SayuJun together :deco: see, all Sayu had to do was climb a tree to get her attention, then again I suppose it's a sign of how much Jun has changed Sayu as the old Sayu would never of climbed the tree and shouted out that she loved someone, it was good to see that Sayu was the one to take the initiative, though of course Jun had to save her in the end :wub:
-
@Haruka: BUSY. VERY BUSY. UGH. :bleed eyes:
@Tchips: lol I know, right? Sayu wouldn't have made the jump... XD and who said I'm breaking them up? you never know what i'll do... :twisted:
@Fiftyen3: NEW PERSON :otomerika: :yossi: :cow: I'm so glad that you decided to come out! And I appreciate your compliments, they mean a lot to me~~ :D :heart:
@mmsuki: LOL well, doesn't Junjun win usually? :twisted:
@oddball: yup! Sayu would go to extremes to get Junjun back~ :wub:
Okay, i am SO SORRY for the intense lack of updates. March is the start of hell for me, basically, cuz all my work and issues are crashing together at once. I thought I would be able to update this weekend but I had work to do from friday and even sunday and it's the same thing all over again next weekend... =___=
I'm trying to write little by little in between my free times (which happen rarely) but unfortunately, worse case scenario is that I'll update two weeks later.. :cry:
But if I can get it out earlier, i definitely will do that!!! :fainted:
-
:shocked Two weeks later? *scratches frantically* :lol: :lol:
-
*does the same as rndy*

Herro :3~~ you've pulled me out of my corner with your incredible writing <3 I'm new here, so please, yoroshiku onegaishimasu~ *bows*
I must say, I absolutely LOVE both Chigatte and Kokoro no Uta. Both awesome stories :D they've unlocked the Takagaki and Tanakame fan in me :wriggly:
I'm semi-patiently waiting for your updates ^^ ganbare, ne~!! :thumbsup
-
Please take your time! I'll pass the time by rereading Kokoro no uta... heh. Ganbatte! :onioncheer:
-
HOLY SHITES.
I've left too many chapters uncommented yet again >_____________<
Okay, so quick catch up. I don't think I can afford to dish out another few hours like I did last time with the comment :bleed eyes:
@Beecubed: Wow that was... AMAZING. Have I mentioned yet how much I love you? If I haven't, well here it is: I LOVE YOU :mon love: :mon love: :mon firecrack: :gmon love2: Your comments/critiques/analysis helps soooo much~~ and I TOTALLY appreciate everything you write. I read every word and laughed at some, nodded at some thinking, "AHH~ Sou ka!" :glasses: :hehehe: :hee: :bingo: Point is, thank you for the awesomely long comment :kneelbow:
:shy1:
You deserved it! :heart: My attention, that is xDDDD .... but! Did I really critique? Analyse? :mon huh2: .... XD I got the impression while I wrote the comment up, I was more or less in the middle of a fangirly rampage... hmmmm. Well, I'll try to keep that toned down this time around XD
Ahhhhh. I can't help but fangirl over good stuff, and you definitely deliver the goods :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup
Just happy to know you appreciated my effort. Thanks for telling me. :lol:
And as for the genre of the next fic, I'm not sure what I'm doing yet. i might just mesh something up together but I hope nobody will be too mad if i just make the poll as a survey rather than the thing that actually makes decisions... i mean, i wanna test my skills too :nervous
That's a really good idea. Use it as just a survey - you don't have to bend over to every one of our demands, ya know. Also, choose yourself who you want to star as the main couples. I have a feeling I'd be happier if you chose than if the readers did :nervous
Chapter 37
AHHHHH. Pivotal chapter. I think more than anything, Jun Jun is the pivotal character. XD She's seriously like THE SAVIOUR of this fic :bleed eyes: I have no fear any more, or any doubt or uncertainty... as long as Jun's around, I think it's say to safe things will never be bad for too long. :deco:
“Konbanwa, Reina-senpai!” three girls said in unison with bright smiles. “Can we come—”
Before the visitors could even finish their sentence, the ex-yankii slammed the door and shuffled back to the sofa.
:rofl:
I think I really have come to expect such yankii reactions from Reina. Her minions - or should I say, admirers, are so cute always trying to see (and bother xD) her one way or another. :wub: I could easily picture this, and really did LOL. XD
“I knew you guys were going to find a way in anyway so why bother locking you out?” the kitten grumbled. “So the least I could do was take my frustration out on the door.”
Smart!Reina :oops:
The JunLinKa combination is so adorable to read, every single time! I really love the dialogue/voices you give them.. :luvuluvu: I think these girls must be the most loveable yankii delinquents EVER. XD
Ahhhhh. Jun Jun knows Reina too well >___________<
She just knows EXACTLY what to say - it's a little unnerving. Rather than continuing being delinquent, maybe she should study to become a social worker of some kind, lols... Jun Jun is way too socially good to be a delinquent, I'm sorry.
“They’re just childhood friends!” Reina suddenly yelled, glaring at the panda next to her.
..........
“… Good, then we can both move on like that.”
Reina in denial. :bleed eyes:
It's so obvious she's steaming jealous on the inside >____> she can tell herself anything she wants to believe otherwise. But I was sure Jun was going to step in and make short work of getting her to realise she's being an idiot.
........
“Does it really matter if someone is a boy or a girl?” the panda yelled. “Does it really matter which uniform this person wears? She loves you more than anyone else! All those other guys you went out with in the past doesn’t even compare to the person you threw out two weeks ago, and you know it.”
And Jun does. And Jun rocks. :rockon:
“Tell me, would you still have kept Eri close to you like you did if you knew she wasn’t a boy?”
That's true. Reina would've most likely made a mad run for it - she had kept thinking - cute pretty boy. Cute pretty boy. BOY. Cute pretty girl wouldn't have done anything for Reina. I think the turtle made a wise move to maintain Reina's interest by playing along as a boy. It could've ended disastrously - with Reina feeling so hurt and betrayed that she cannot look at Eri again; with her being narrow-minded about it all. But it could also end with Reina feeling so hurt but realising that she's fallen for Eri hard and is willing to look at their love from a different pov.
And if Eri had told Reina herself that she was a girl? I don't know what would've happened. Probably the same as what's happening now, I'm thinking. *Bee slips on thinking face*
“Eri knew you were close-minded,” the panda said quietly, “and you know you are too. But she still loved you, Reina. And I’m willing to bet she still does.”
Jun understands Eri better than even Reina does.
In this fic, I would like to deem Jun Jun GOD. :P
“All you have to do is answer just one question,” Junjun replied, smiling warmly. “What do you want the most right now?”
Very good question.
Stop thinking. Start feeling. :love:
“Aitai…” Reina whispered, her eyes widening, “I want… to see… Eri… I have to see… Eri…”
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!
:nya: :nya: :nya:
The kitten comes to her senses. Of course, now must come a running scene. xDDD
Junjun smirked as she walked over to the kitchen. “Looks like we got the place to ourselves tonight,” she said, “because I don’t think Reina is coming back any time soon.”
JUN! YOU THE HERO! :luvluv2:
Chapter 38
Okay, this chapter had my heart racing a bit. Everybody loves a bit of confrontation like this, ESPECIALLY if you know there's such a high possibility of the two leads making up (and a hot one at that :bleed eyes:). I love these kind of chapters. :nya:
I especially loved how you made Reina bark away at Eri, angry and resentful, but then showed all her conflicting thoughts through the italics there. It was a great contrast, and I'm sure it made all of us feel a hell of a lot more :panic:
“… But… more than hating you… I hate that I still love you…”
:mon lovelaff:
So okay, who saw that coming? *raises hand* But didn't make it ANY LESS AWESOME! These kind of confessions are just really effective. 'Coz... they're more dynamic than just... "Kyaaaa, I love you let's get married?"
*Bee is smitten*
“But you know,” the kitten said, sniffling and trying to calm herself down, “I’ve done so many bad things in the past, that maybe this is my punishment. Maybe I’m fated to love you and hate it forever. But… I can’t help but think that being with you is a blessing, not a punishment. In which case, I don’t deserve you.”
“Then think of it as a punishment,” Eri said quickly, leaning forward a little. “Think of it as the harshest punishment in the world and stay with me…”
OKAY OKAY OKAY!!!!
KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! :wub: :wub: :wub:
My favourite TanaKame dialogue/interaction/moment so far? This was win. :luvluv1: :luvluv2: :shy1: :nya: :wriggly:
“… I changed my mind,” Reina said quietly. “Let’s not talk. In fact, don’t say anything at all.”
:imdead:
I'm all for no talking. :w00t: :drool: :oops:
As they pressed their lips together again, the two lovers made secret vows within their hearts.
I’ll never let you go, ever again. We’ll stay together… no matter what.
Beautiful ending few lines to this chapter!
:heart:
ONE COUPLE DOWN, TWO TO GO! :muffin:
Chapter 39
:cow: :cow: :cow: :cow:
THIS WAS SUCH AN AWESOME CHAPTER.
I guess because so far, Chigatte mo Iin da yo! has kinda been lacking that lustful spark that Kokoro no Uta had... but this chapter was infinitely amusing and :inlove: to read. Wow, I loved it! :love:
The beginning made me laugh :lol:
“Now if you all did your homework last night and read the correct chapter, you would know that— Kamei-san, this is your second strike of the semester— the Tokugawa shogunate was overthrown in 1868.”
Takahashi sensei is awesome and Kamei pupil is awesome - I could really imagine the way Ai sounded when she said that - like a breeze. Lol. :lol:
Message passing between GakiKame is always such entertainment to read... I hope we have more of these scenes? They're hilarious! :rofl:
And then how Gaki-san's messages prompt Eri's thoughts... :w00t: :drool: :oops: :wub: those flashback scenes are such teases! So cute, so sexy... so human? I'm not sure if that's the right word, but the part when Reina decides to have a look at Eri's body like that... I.. I, well. Yeah. XD
:luvluv1: :shy1: :wriggly: :nya:
So instead of going further, they had decided to just sleep together in the same bed. Although Eri continuously said she was perfectly fine with this restriction, Reina had felt guilty that she couldn’t give herself completely yet.
Awwwwww. Sweet turtle :wub:
I don't think I've ever read this kind of TanaKame, with Eri being the one to do the waiting. xD Nice turn around. :thumbsup
“I know you, Eri,” Reina said, rolling her eyes. “You’re the type who keeps running forward, even though there’s a brick wall."
Oh Reina. :rofl:
I think that's Reina's nice way of saying: Eri, you're dumb. :lol:
“Good, I’m glad you don’t,” Reina grinned. “I don’t want anybody else but me to think you’re cute. Don’t go around making people fall for you.”
“As if!” Eri laughed. Reina also giggled along before sighing.
“It’s so strange,” she whispered. “I’ve never thought before about falling in love with another girl… and it wasn’t something I considered possible either. But now, being with you like this… staring at a girl’s bare body, just like my own… it almost feels right. But I still can’t imagine myself being with another girl so… maybe it’s just you, Eri.”
:k-inlove: :k-inlove: :k-inlove:
I did my fair share of internal squealing here. This is SO SWEEEEEET OMFHFJHG!!!!! :love:
“KAMEHA, I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE!” a loud voice boomed from behind the door.
SO funny, watching Eri debating whether to open the door for Gaki-san or not... who cares about hw when you have a kitten that hot in your lap. Forceful!Reina is love, ne? :D
Another piece of paper hit the turtle square on the head before it dropped on the desk. Eri blinked a couple times and looked at Risa, who was narrowing her eyes. The turtle tuned her attention to the scrunched up paper and read the note written inside.
Oh, you are so having perverted thoughts right now.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
*Bee laughs and laughs and laughs*
The comic timing of this was brilliant. XD
I love me some perverted turtle... :wriggly:
“ ‘Well, you get the general gist of what happened’,” Takahashi sensei read out loud. “ ‘Why don’t you tell me your side of the story, Risa-chan? Anything new going on…’” Her voice traveled off at the unfinished sentence.
WHY DIDN'T SHE FINISH THE SENTENCE!!!!???
Okay this was one awesome chapter - the way you structured it was really effective. I loved it. :bow:
Chapter40
YAY for some ShigeJun (or was it JunShige again? xD) and TAKAGAKI this chapter! I’m all for you splitting up chapters like this so we can have a little bit of everybody at any time. ^___^
And why was Sayumi even wondering about such things? Shouldn’t she be happy that she was finally free of the panda’s grasp? It’s such simple logic; she had won the challenge, therefore earning her liberty. That was a good thing; it was supposed to be a good thing.
But it's not a good thing.
Need to correct things, Sayu! :bleed eyes:
Nobody her age had ever paid any positive kind of attention to Sayu. This group of friends being the first, and Sayu was adamantly against it at first because it's her second nature to turn people away, but she's obviously reeling now, from the aftereffects of finally knowing what it's like to be close to somebody. She's empty now, because she's had a taste of that... of the wonders of friendship, and now that it's been so suddenly stripped from her, she can't help but feel lacking.
Sayumi stood very still, her eyes wide open. It really was over. Junjun was treating her just like any other girl and wasn’t teasing her anymore. She had kept her promise.
Treating her just like any other girl shouldn't be too bad a thing, right?
Sayu got special treatment though. She realises it now. She hadn't been targeted or bullied, at all.
Junjun turned around and smiled. “Yes?” she asked. That smile. It wasn’t genuine, like it used to be. It was a mask, a convenient tool to use in order to appear friendly to everyone. It was fake, a lie. No, no, no, Sayumi didn’t want this kind of treatment. She could hear the other girls whispering behind her, talking shit about the “new girl” and how dare she grab Junjun that way. But Sayumi always knew she was selfish and she was going to stay selfish. Especially when it came to Junjun’s attention.
Selfish!Sayu :luvuluvu:
I really liked this paragraph, btw. The way you conveyed all her thoughts here. Great stuff. :thumbsup
“You’re the one who wanted to be let go,” Junjun continued, “and I gave you what you wanted. Since your wish came true, I’d appreciate it if you leave me alone now and get rid of any false pretenses you have about our relationship. It’s annoying.”
I have a feeling GODLY Jun Jun is using a bit of her psychology on Sayu here. She just has that way with people, lol
BUT yes, OUCH. Poor bunny. :cry:
I’ll let her go, even if I have to shake her off… because that’s love.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Is not love.
Love is something you give, not keep to yourself. :angry: :banghead:
OH AND NOW MY DEAR TAKAGAKI :grin:
“It’s your face,” Risa teased. “You’re too pretty.”
“Wow. That’s not something I hear every day,” Ai laughed, flattered.
“Really? Well, you can hear it every day now because I’ll tell you every day,” Risa grinned. “I think you’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen, Sensei. One of the smaller reasons why I—”
“And stop right there!” Takahashi-sensei interrupted, frowning. “We’re still in school, you know.”
:rofl:
I swear to God, this is one of the cutest, most amusing Gaki-sans I've ever read. There's just something about her puppy-like forwardness that's so endearing to read. I'm pretty sure I was grinning like an idiot reading this next bit. :P
“I don’t really care; nobody’s listening anyway,” Risa said, rolling her eyes. “I want to constantly remind you about who I am to you.”
“What are you to me?” the teacher asked.
“Student,” the bean smiled. “But more than that, the one who loves you the most in this world.”
Again. Forwardly-infatuated!Gaki-san FTW!
She needs to keep this up, Ai-chan's gotta crack and give in at SOME point. LOL. XD
“Gaki-san!” Ai yelled. She dashed forward to her student as the books at the top shelf came crashing down. She managed to push Risa down to the floor just in time and protect her from the falling books by covering her with her own body. The hardcover novels crashed down on Sensei’s back and shoulders, but left Risa without a scratch. Then, there was only silence.
:OMG: -----> :w00t:
“Konno and Ogawa,” Takahashi-sensei said.
PRAISE THE LORD!
Konkon and Makochan helping Cupid along with his endeavours? :twisted:
She opened the door, pulled her teacher in, and swung her around to sit her down on the cot.
Gaki-san in charge is HELLA attractive. Bee loves. :wub:
“Unbutton your blouse,” Risa ordered.
:mon spit:
Slowly, Ai started to undo the top buttons of her collar shirt. She then slipped down the left side of the shirt, enough to show a little bit of her bra as well as a full view of her bra straps. There was a large bruise on her shoulder, in the shade of blue and purple.
Thank you, for that image.
:bow:
Her hair seemed soft and her cheeks seemed smooth… Had she always been this pretty? Before she knew it, Ai was entranced.
I would be entranced by Gaki-san too. :mon cute:
When she's in that forceful, focused mood, it's really very appealing. :inlove:
Ai didn’t answer. She subconsciously started to lean closer and closer towards the younger girl until their lips were only a couple millimeters apart. Risa’s eyes widened in shock, but she was unable to move away.
“Risa…”
ZOOOOMGGG!
YES!
Ai-chan's self-control is diminishing little by little... the more Gaki-san sticks to her like this, the BETTER. YES. :heart: :yep:
Suddenly, the school bell rang out, snapping the teacher back to full conscience.
:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
I shoulda thunk.
Chapter 41
SAYUJUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNN. :cow:
FINALLY! YEAH! So… TanaKame and SayuJun have finally found peace and love with each other. I’m now just uber excited to see how TakaGaki are going to make it! ^___^
But enough of that, let’s focus on this chapter.
I was really waiting for Jun Jun to come out of nowhere and wallop all those nasty girls across the head… if not her, then for Sayu to. TALK ABOUT MEAN. Gossiping behind Sayu’s back is one thing, but to openly declare their distaste for her like that? Obnoxious much?
Poor Sayu >___<
When Sayumi lifted her head, something else besides the courtyard below caught her eye. In front of her was an enormous tree that was about the height of the school building itself. The bunny’s memories traveled back to the time when the yankii leader had saved her from the garbage-dumping bullies. Junjun had swung down by this tree to get to the ground faster. It was also where she had cut her palm which led to the bunny band-aids…
NO WAY. :shocked
*Sayu’s confession*
:tama-heart: :tama-laff: :tama-yeeaah:
I'm so happy that Sayu's finally found the crazy courage to do something like this. Who would've ever expected it from the Sayu we read at the beginning? And that is the power of storytelling and character development. :wub:
AND PLEASE LET THE CHALLENGES CONTINUE!
*Jun catches Sayu LOVE*
Like a Prince Charming. I need myself one of these Jun Juns >_______<
Such an awesome moment.
“S-sorry, I’ll get down now—”
“No, stay still,” Junjun said, holding the bunny even closer, bridal style. “It’s okay to stay like this for a little longer…”
:mon inluv:
They just need to complete their vows now and all will be right with the world (actually, TakaGaki must be TakaGaki first xDD).
Before Sayumi could fully comprehend the yankii girl’s meaning, she found her mouth being fully covered with another pair of lips, moving slowly but hungrily.
:mon lovelaff:
YES. PDA not my kind of thing, but it works here just because.
“Listen up, everyone!” Junjun ordered, addressing the crowd of students watching them as well as the audience that was poking their heads out through the window. “As you have all just witnessed, this girl belongs to me now and I belong to her. Anyway who messes with Michishige Sayumi will have to answer to me, understand?”
Jun Jun makes my heart race. :heart:
“Wait!” Sayumi yelled. “Did you just say… girlfriend?”
Something wrong, Sayu? xDDD
After all that, what was she really expecting for them to 'become'??? Lol, still so innocent. :tama-lotsaluv:
“… Whoever can kiss longer without losing her breath wins?” Junjun smirked, leaning in closer.
Best challenge ever. :bow:
I could go on to an Arc 2 story (which I have planned if needed) or I could just end it after Arc 1.
So yeah. I'm thinking.
NO. There must be Arc 2. After all this, not satisfied yet. They've only just gotten together. I want to see more trials and tribulations, thank you very much. :kneelbow:
In particular, how will TakaGaki go about their forbidden relationship? How will Sayu fare with being a delinquent's gf? How will TanaKame finally mesh in the flesh? XD
Hmmm... well that was my 'quick' catch up... :lol: oh wells, I enjoyed it.
THANK YOU FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT, SARANGAI. :love:
Please don't fret too much about updating, you've done a super awesome job so far and the waiting now is something I'm not too fussed about. I guess I'm not much of a junkie like the others? Lol. But I am hooked of course. :thumbsup
Take care, good luck with your studies and work and I will be looking forward to the next chapter! :heart:
-
^
No you're probably as much hooked up as we are judging from the length of that post :rofl:
Don't worry SarangAi, even though nobody posts here for now I'm pretty sure we're all there lurking from the dark :mon cweepy:
I hope your studies are going well :)

craving for TanaKame.. must. have. dosage........

*seizing violently*
LOL.. just being overly dramatic.. :P besides we still have Kokoro no Uta :grin: it'll never get old.. XD
Ganbatte! :thumbsup

Gosh, I haven't been here for ages and I'm not even sure if I have ever commented this fic :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: Have to fix that right away!!! First of all, I really REALLY love the concept here!! I would love to have Ai as my teacher :P Your writing style is very touching, I either cry my eyes out or laugh until I can't breath anymore :lol: And cause I'm a big fan of TakaGaki, I adore your pairings :bow: Keep up with good work, there is always at least one happy reader following it!! :) But don't overwork yourself either! I still have some patience XD You're an amazing writer :heart: :heart:
-
So... I'm trying to post a new chapter but... it won't let me post that chapter and it says "The message body was left empty" when it's not...
Oddly enough, it's letting post this message so... anybody know what's wrong? ^^;;
-
No idea what's wrong, but...
Potential wedge? :lol:
-
I was so excited when I saw the header change, and I came in to see....................nothing! Maybe the web is having problems?
Oh, and smart choice to avoid the Tanakamei/Takagaki pairings for your new poll. I was looking for those. XD I gave my vote to KameShige. I normally do not chose this couple, but there is one fanfiction that I have read which makes this choice an exception. It was well developed and Sayumi was portrayed in a very familiar (meaning still had her usual personalities) yet new way. If things work out great, KameShige can be a very great couple to write fanfictions about. I cannot support GakiKame, never. XD
-
KameShige can be a very great couple to write fanfictions about. I cannot support GakiKame, never. XD
i totally agree with this XD GakiKame is...amm... :?
more than nothing... funny :lol:
and to me... :smhid i dont like this couple...is more like friendship :roll:
-
KameShige for the win!!! Take a look at those two and you'll KNOW they're the real thing :heart:
I immediately went here when I saw 'chap 42' only to find that JPH!P isn't letting you post it... :banghead: Don't know what is happening either :/
-
AGGHHHHHH!!! I thought a new chapter was up :cry: I only read the 42 bit and I was away :banghead: Sorry to say I can't really help with your problem though, I'm not good at that sort of thing all I can suggest is that you get in tough with one of the site administrators...
-
ahhh..no Ai in your poll
so does it mean you wont include Ai in your next fic... :banghead:
ahhh.. 8)2
-
Maybe you should post in 2 parts :O
-
@Avatard000: NEW PERSON :otomerika: :yossi: :cow: YAY! Thank you for coming out! I'm so glad that you're enjoying my writing, I'll do my best! XD
@astro18: LOL is it still readable? Not sick of it yet? XD
@Beecubed: Oh, Bee... you get me, girl, you really get me with those long comments... I REALLY love reading them (especially during class because it gives my professor the impression that I'm really enjoying his lecture). YES I will continue with Arc 2 and taking on your advice, I might just pick a couple that I like XD But I wanna do another survey! Because I really can't choose myself anyways :lol:
@Tchips: lol are there really that many lurkers? I feel like so many has come out already :D
@mmsuki: I'm sorry! It's me and my overly-busy-stressed life... :smhid
@Bamtai: I guess you commented a really long time ago? XD Either way, welcome back! And thank you for the comment, that is so sweet of you! Those kind of words really encourage me a lot, thank you! :twothumbs
OKAY! I finally got it to work! :otomerika:
and so... I'M BACK. PSHA! :cow:
Well that took a REALLY long time. It's past mid March now and I am UBER sorry :kneelbow:
But I've definitely been reading the recent comments and I REALLY appreciate you guys for staying with me on this.
As it is still not the weekend, I couldn't make this chapter as long as I wanted it to be but I think it's still pretty good. And there are more treats to come anyway, of course~ XD
So I followed Shiawase_Honoo's advice and just made two posts. I still have no idea why the server is doing this to me :bleed eyes:
anyway, without further ado, the TanaKame chapter! :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 42
“Excuse me! Sorry! Pardon me!”
Once again, the world’s fastest turtle dodged a couple groups of clustered people in the street and dashed past the lined up stores. The wind blew against her face, strong enough to make her eyes slightly close but still pretty gentle so that she could see where she was going. And of course, she didn’t want to lose sight of her destination. It was the promised place, a sacred place for today, where the reunion between Eri and her lover would happen after a long school day that felt like forever.
And of course, why wouldn’t the school day feel longer? It technically was longer, since she had to stay after class in order to finish an entire essay for Takahashi-sensei, because she had passed notes with her bean friend during class. She felt as though she was about to die, because there was nothing the turtle hated more than studying. But the thought of making Reina wait longer made her pencil go faster. Risa had taken her sweet time in writing the essay, since she wanted to stick around the history teacher for a little longer anyway. She had decided that getting to the park where her girlfriend was waiting was a much more important priority.
Soon, Eri skidded to a halt at the park entrance. She ran straight through the paved sidewalks and the grass where toddlers were out with their mothers and elementary school kids were meeting up to play sports before going home to do homework. She eventually arrived at the center of the park where a large fountain sprayed water triumphantly into the air, sending sparkles of water droplets around the edge. Eri was immediately able to spot the shining girl, sitting at the bench a couple feet away from the fountain.
The petit girl was still wearing her school uniform in perfect order: clean, ironed, and no sign of re-decorations anywhere, unlike other teenage girls those days who always found ways to wear different colored socks or lose the tie or something. The girl was sitting with her back straight in perfect posture, gazing forward with a calm expression. Her hair was let down long and straight as always, and she was wearing a plain black headband, just to appear more poised. Of course, the turtle was aware of the fact that her girlfriend was originally a yankii. So a silent laughter always elicited from Eri, who found it funny and ironic how the “biggest and baddest yankii girl on the block” can turn into something so ladylike and princess-esque. The kitten’s occasional slip-up with the Fukuoka yankii accent was completely mismatched with her elegant image, but Eri had found that to be just another charm.
Smiling to herself, the turtle slowly walked around the fountain to go up to the bench from the back. As she got closer, her steps got lighter and quieter. She was eventually close enough to touch Reina but the ex-yankii still hadn’t noticed her yet. Grinning to herself, Eri lifted her hands up and quickly grabbed her girlfriend’s shoulders.
“Reina!”
“AHH!”
“WOAH!”
Eri ducked just in time to avoid being plummeted in the face by her girlfriend’s punch which whirled around without warning. Reina slowly started to recognize the person that had surprised her, and gasped. The turtle put her hand over her chest and sighed deeply, trying to calm herself down.
“You could seriously kill someone with that punch, Reina!” Eri breathed, still not completely recovering from the shock to use a full voice. “Or at least put the victim on the list for surgery.”
“Oh my gosh, Eri!” Reina gasped. “I’m so sorry; I didn’t know it was you! Are you hurt? Did I hit you?”
“It’s okay, I ducked in time,” Eri assured, smiling as she took a step forward towards her girlfriend.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Reina asked again, walking around the bench to get up and close to the turtle. “If you’re hurt anywhere, you should tell me!”
“Well… I think you nicked over here a little…” Eri said slowly, pointing at her cheek.
“Where? Let me see.”
Eri leaned into the kitten with her head turned to the side. Reina examined the turtle’s cheek for any signs of an injury, but the skin was clean and clear. Before she could question this, Eri suddenly turned her head and kissed the shorter girl on the lips and backed away with a grin. Reina stood still with shock clear
on her face, but soon narrowed her eyes and exhaled sharply.
“I can’t believe you just did that!” she said, her cheeks blushing a little although she was trying to make herself out to be a little frustrated. “That was sneaky.”
“I just wanted a little greeting,” Eri pouted. “I missed you.”
“We just saw each other this morning,” Reina said, giggling. “And you could’ve just asked if you wanted a proper greeting.”
The kitten wrapped her arms around her lover’s neck and pulled herself closer to meet her lips. Eri’s arms also snaked around Reina’s waist as they held their kiss for a little while. Occasionally, they would brush their tongues against each other’s lips but nothing too intense occurred. After all, they were still in the public eye somewhat and honestly, this was just a sweet greeting after the long day of separation. They knew they could have more time to themselves later if they wanted.
Soon, Reina backed away a little, just enough to scan her girlfriend from head to toe. Her lips curved into an unreadable smile.
“I never thought I would see you wearing this,” she sighed, referring to Eri’s uniform consisting of a sweater and a plaid skirt. “I think I probably would’ve been kind of shocked if I saw you wearing that a couple weeks ago. But now, I’m not that conscious of it that much anymore. Maybe I’m getting used to this already. Actually, you look kind of cute wearing a skirt; I like it.”
“Thank you,” Eri laughed. “I actually contemplated changing before coming here into something a bit more… baggy. But I really don’t want to lie to you anymore. I want to show you my true honest side, including my fashion sense.”
“I’d like that,” Reina grinned. “So, where are we going today? This is supposed to be a date, right?”
“If you want it to be,” the turtle smiled, taking the ex-yankii’s hand. “Anywhere you want to go?”
“Not really… Oh! Wait!” Reina exclaimed suddenly. “There’s a place I’ve always wanted to go to. Can we go there?”
“Sure,” Eri answered. “Where is it?”
** ** **
(continued in next post)

(continuing from above post)
*Start playing at appropriate time: you'll know when*It's not necessary, but it's more fun*** XD
Stepmania - Morning Musume - Koko ni Iruzee! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMxK2cAXtus#)
** ** **
“This one, this one! I want to play this one next!”
Reina dashed over to another game machine and popped a 100 yen coin in. She immediately took a hold of the game controllers and started to blast away the aliens by furiously pressing the “gun shoot” button. Eri couldn’t help but laugh.
“You know, I still can’t believe the place you’ve always wanted to go to is the arcade,” the turtle giggled.
“What’s wrong with wanting to go to the arcade?” Reina asked, still focused on the game. “I’ve never been here before.”
“There’s nothing wrong with wanting to come here,” the turtle explained. “But you just always seem so ladylike and a real ‘ojou-san’. It’s not something I would’ve expected.”
“Well, I didn’t expect to ever see you wearing a skirt either,” the kitten smirked, eyes glued to the exploding aliens. “But that happened too, didn’t it?”
“Touché,” Eri grinned. And she was awfully glad that it happened. After the little “experiment” session she had with her girlfriend the day before, both of them had gotten a lot comfortable with the idea of seeing each other.
“Yes! I win again!” the ex-yankii exclaimed as the game screen displayed a “You Win!” fanfare. Chains of tickets started to stream out of the machine and the kitten collected all of them, folding them carefully. “This is so much fun. I can’t believe I haven’t been here before!”
“Yeah, me neither,” Eri chuckled, happy to see her girlfriend having fun.
“Eri, you haven’t played anything this entire time,” Reina said. “What do you want to do? Let’s go find something you’re good at!”
“It’s okay, you can keep playing by yourself,” Eri smiled. “I’m happy watching.”
“Come on, don’t be like that,” the kitten groaned, tugging on the turtle’s sleeve. “I don’t want to be the only hyperactive one today. We’ll go find something together! There’s so much to do here!”
With that, the shorter girl pulled her lover all around the arcade, scourging the place for something interesting to do. In a couple of seconds, the girls finally noticed small commotions going on at some of the booths. Reina grinned as she pulled Eri towards one of the crowds and squeezed through the people to get to the middle. There were two boys dancing on a DDR platform, battling each other. The audience was cheering for one or the other, getting pumped up with them and dancing along. The song soon ended and announced the boy on the right side as the winner. The crowd cheered loudly and clapped.
“And that’s my 30th victory of today!” the teenage boy on the right announced. He was wearing a sweater and baggy jeans with a cap on, as though he was a street dancer, but he had a name tag on his shirt. Eri figured that he was probably an employee who battled costumers while offering prizes. “Is there anybody else willing to challenge me for any one of these prizes?”
The boy pointed towards a cart off to the side with rows of stuffed animal stringed together. Reina inhaled as she took in the amount of stuffed animals there were. But for Eri, only one certain doll caught her eye.
“I’ll challenge you!” the short-haired girl said, raising her hand.
“ERI?!” Reina yelled, shocked. “You’re going to dance? Do you know how?”
“It’s worth a try, right?” Eri smiled. Truthfully, she was rather nervous inside as well. She was pretty athletic and speedy for a girl but she had never tried to dance seriously before. However, her desire for that one specific doll topped all other emotions.
“Alright, young lady, come on down!” the dancer invited, eliciting a cheering from the crowd.
As Eri walked up to the DDR platform, the crowd started to whisper amongst themselves, about how the next challenger seemed like a meek little girl who doesn’t know what she’s getting herself into. After all, she was still in her school uniform and looked nothing more than average.
“You can choose the song,” the employee offered. “But the level is obviously going to be expert.”
“Alright,” Eri nodded. She scrolled down a little bit until she found the right song, a happy song that would get herself pumped up enough. She jumped on the middle square to start the battle. A series of drum beats came out and the two challengers started to dance right away. Eri jumped around a bit before shouting towards the crowd, “Koko ni Iruzee!”
A fun ska beat flowed out of the speakers, sending the audience in a frenzy. The steps were fast and almost impossible to follow but both of the dancers managed to catch all of it so far. Reina exhaled sharply in disbelief as she started to grin. Who knew her girlfriend had this kind of dancing skills? Instead of even just focusing on the steps and arrows, she was actually dancing while flipping her hair and moving her arms around this way and that. It wasn’t a game; it was a performance.
The teenage boy glimpsed at his challenger, who was smiling and jumping around. Beads of sweat formed on both of their cheeks. The boy’s lips curved up a little, intrigued by this thin little girl who was actually managing to exert more energy them himself. As he was staring, an error message lit up on his screen, indicating that he missed a step. The crowd all cheered as Eri continued to dance on without any mistakes. That one misstep was to be fatal. Reina smiled for her girlfriend but also raised an eyebrow at the boy, suspicious of how a professional like him managed to make such a rookie mistake.
Eri jumped around like crazy as she couldn’t stop smiling. She had never felt so free like this before! All the happiness that she knew in the world seemed to wash down at her: the joy of meeting Reina, of sharing the same feelings with Reina and of being able to be honest to Reina as well as herself. The song soon came to an end as Eri and the boy both jumped on their final steps. The crowd exploded into a cheer as the screen announced the turtle as the winner. Reina jumped up and down, cheering and smiling.
“Yatta!” Eri exclaimed, hopping up and down.
“Hey, that was a good battle,” the boy said, offering his hand. “You’re a really good dancer… um…”
“Eri,” the turtle grinned, shaking his hand. “It’s Kamei Eri.”
“Kamei Eri-chan,” the boy smiled shyly. “My name is—”
“Excuse me, can you not be so friendly with Eri enough to add –chan to her name?” a cold voice said as someone linked arms with the turtle. Reina was glaring at the boy as Eri looked at her with a confused expression. “You guys just met, didn’t you? That’s kind of rude.”
“I’m sorry, and you are?” the boy said, frowning.
“Oh,” Eri started, smiling nervously, “she’s just my—”
“GIRLFRIEND,” Reina cut in. “Unlike you, who is a complete stranger to Eri.”
“… Oh, so you’re that kind of girl,” the boy muttered, unimpressed.
“What do you mean that kind of girl?” the kitten growled, unsatisfied by the boy’s attitude.
“Nothing,” the boy answered, scowling. “Whatever, just pick your prize and leave.”
“Uh… yeah, we will…” Eri mumbled, still a little nervous about the sudden turn of atmosphere. She dragged Reina off the platform and headed towards the prize cart. She picked out the doll she wanted and hugged it to her chest.
“Did you get what you want?” Reina asked, not looking at her girlfriend.
“Uh-huh.”
“Then let’s leave. I don’t want to stay here anymore.”
With that, Reina grabbed Eri’s wrist and started to pull her through the crowd towards the exit. When they were outside, the turtle thought that her girlfriend would let go of her but instead, they continued to walk briskly down the street past the rest of the people.
“Wait, Reina, can you let go now?” Eri huffed, still tired and out of breath from the dancing. “My wrist hurts…”
The petit girl didn’t answer. Instead, she pulled her girlfriend off towards the side behind a building and faced her. The space between the two walls weren’t that sufficient but it was wide enough for the two girls to properly look at each other.
“Will you not shake anybody’s hand like that and tell them your name?” Reina scolded. “Didn’t you ever hear of the saying, ‘don’t talk to strangers’?”
“It was just a greeting kind of thing,” Eri said, raising an eyebrow. “A way of saying it was a good game. Why are you so mad about this kind of thing anyway?”
“Are you kidding me?” Reina scoffed. “He was totally hitting on you! I saw the way he was looking at you while you were dancing.”
“Hitting on me?” Eri laughed dryly. “That’s a good one, Reina. Guys hit on cute girls like you, not a tomboy like me.”
“Do you not look in the mirror every morning?” Reina groaned. “You’re pretty enough for guys like that to come flirt with you.”
“Why are you getting so worked up all of a sudden?” Eri asked again, still a little surprised by the way Reina was acting, since she was usually calm and poised. “And being all protective too… I thought I was supposed to be the boy between the two of us.”
“Girls get jealous too!” the kitten argued. “I mean… not like I’m jealous or anything… because I’m not that type… yeah.”
“Uh-huh… Whatever you say…” Eri said, smiling a little.
“Well, wouldn’t you feel the same way if a boy was hitting on me?” Reina shot back, her cheeks turning slightly pink.
“I suppose…” Eri admitted. “But I assure you, I’m not interested in anybody else except you. You believe me when I say that, right?”
“Of course I do,” Reina sighed. “And I hope you’ll believe me when I say I only got angry because I love you back.”
“I’ve always believed that,” Eri smiled.
“I’m sorry I blew up on you,” the kitten mumbled. “I guess I kind of overreacted a little back there.”
“That’s okay,” Eri assured. “I was just worried about you getting even angrier. I was hearing a little bit of your dialect coming out, so I thought you would go all yankii on me but I’m glad you didn’t.”
“No, I’m over all that,” Reina denied. “I don’t fight or anything on purpose anymore. The dialect is just habit.”
“I kind of like that habit though,” Eri said. “You were too perfect anyway; it’s good to have a perk that sets you aside from a robot.”
“I am nowhere near perfect, Eri,” Reina laughed. “I might make myself out to be like it, but it’s not completely me… yet.”
“Well, I’m just glad you were angry over something like this and not about what that boy said,” Eri sighed.
“Huh? What did he say?” Reina asked, cocking her head to the side.
“You know… about us being… that kind of girls,” Eri mumbled, “after you told him you were my girlfriend.”
“Oh, that,” the ex-yankii muttered. “Well, to be honest, I was a little offended by the way he said it but I didn’t mind announcing to the public that I’m your girlfriend. It feels… natural. I’m pretty sure I’ve told you this before but… being with you feels so right that I don’t really want to hide anything anymore. People can think what they want but that’s not going to change me. I love you as you, not as a girl or a boy.”
Reina blushed a little as she looked away to the side, unable to meet eyes with her lover. Eri smiled as her own cheeks blushed a rosy pink, pleased by her girlfriend’s confession of feelings. She then held out the stuffed animal that she had been hugging the entire time.
“Here,” Eri offered, allowing Reina to lift her head again. “Take this.”
“But that’s your prize that you won.”
“I won it for you.”
The kitten’s eyes widened as she slowly accepted the doll and looked at it. After a more careful examination, she finally realized that it was actually a stuffed turtle that was the size of a cushion. Not too big and inconvenient but not small enough so that one can’t cuddle it.
“It’s a Kame, like me,” Eri grinned. “Put it in your room so that whenever you miss me, you can look at it and think of me. Just something to remember me by.”
“… It’s like… a present?”
“I guess so.”
Suddenly, Reina’s face turned bright red as she stared at the cartoony turtle in her hands. She blinked a couple times before she hugged it tightly to her chest and looking up shyly at her lover.
“I… uh… I’ve never received a… a present before…” she mumbled. “This is my first time…”
“You’ve never gotten a gift before?” Eri asked, her eyes widening. “But what about birthdays? Valentine’s day? Christmas?”
“My parents gave me money so I could buy something myself,” the kitten explained. “I’ve never gotten a material present before… Arigatou… Hontou ni arigatou!”
Reina squeezed the turtle into an even tighter hug as she smiled. Her small giggles and red cheeks and bright eyes made her look like a child who had just seen Santa Clause. Eri couldn’t help but chuckle along as she observed her girlfriend’s happy face. When she was like this, it was unbelievable that she was actually an ex-yankii. She could be elegant and poised but also fiery and passionate. She could be a lot of things but most of all, she was just a girl in love.
“Well,” Eri started, grinning. “Do I get a reward for being the first person to give you a present?”
Reina giggled as her girlfriend leaned closer and trapped her against the wall between her arms. The kitten closed her eyes as a warm sensation pressed against her lips, working its way softly and gently. Their tongues danced around each other, fighting for dominance; Eri won this time around, since Reina was feeling way too loopy with the innocent happiness she had been experiencing. Eri began to stroke the smaller girl’s cheek and her neck, drawing out a soft moan. Before they could continue on, Reina pulled away a little bit to breathe.
“Um… since I intruded on you for the past two nights,” she started, not making eye contact, “do you want to come to my house today? You could help me set up the turtle…”
“And maybe see how much you’ve improved?” Eri whispered playfully.Ad w
“See how far we can go tonight?” Reina offered, smiling shyly.
“I’d like that,” Eri smiled. She planted another quick kiss on her cute girlfriend’s lips before taking her hand to head towards a more appropriate location for their previous actions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*sigh* It's so hard to write Reina as the less dominant one... :sweatdrop:
Next up is TakaGaki! :D
Also, in case you guys haven't noticed, I opened the poll again for something else. Basically, it's just a survey; it doesn't decide anything. But I was just curious about the other couples you guys might like besides TakaGaki, TanaKame, SayuJun so I picked some other couples that I like out of many and decided to do just a little voting thing. Once again, this doesn’t decide anything, it’s just for my own knowledge. So even if I don’t pick the most voted couple, no anger, okie? :nervous
and I've noticed that a lot of people here are against GakiKame. I felt that way at first too but then I thought of an amazing storyline so I decided to put it in the poll. But I want to assure you guys that whatever couple I write about, I'll make it work! XD
Again, the poll is just out of my own curiosity and my own indecisiveness, so please vote! :D
:byebye:
-
reina being a little over protective eh? :lol:
-
ah... jealous Reina is scary :nervous, but it's cute when she's being all protective on the turtle
i was thinking she's going to go all yankii on that boy in the arcade... thank god she still has some self-control XD
“… Oh, so you’re that kind of girl,” the boy muttered, unimpressed.
that guy is soooo rude :smhid now i'm hoping for Reina's yankii side to come out :lol:
well, maybe that guy just jealous since he's attracted to eri...
-
@mmsuki: I'm sorry! It's me and my overly-busy-stressed life... :smhid
lol.. i just did that for drama.. XD and overly-busy-stressed life is something a bum like me is yet to experience again.. :roll:
hope everything calms down soon for your sake and ours.. :grin:
Risa had taken her sweet time in writing the essay, since she wanted to stick around the history teacher for a little longer anyway.
i bet that it was more of a reward for Risa rather than a punishment.. :lol:
Smiling to herself, the turtle slowly walked around the fountain to go up to the bench from the back. As she got closer, her steps got lighter and quieter. She was eventually close enough to touch Reina but the ex-yankii still hadn’t noticed her yet. Grinning to herself, Eri lifted her hands up and quickly grabbed her girlfriend’s shoulders.
“Reina!”
“AHH!”
“WOAH!”
Eri ducked just in time to avoid being plummeted in the face by her girlfriend’s punch which whirled around without warning. Reina slowly started to recognize the person that had surprised her, and gasped. The turtle put her hand over her chest and sighed deeply, trying to calm herself down.
note to Eri.. never surprise your ex-yankii girlfriend.. :smhid but other than that it was.. --> :rofl:
and the rest of the scene in the park.. ADORABLE!! :oops: :wub: :twothumbs
I LOVE it when jealous Reina makes an appearance.. :lol: its when she sheds her princess-esque appearance and go on full yankii on who ever is hitting on her Turtle.. :rofl: :yep: but then again who can resist the dancing Eri?.. we are but mere mortals after all.. XD
Reina squeezed the turtle into an even tighter hug as she smiled. Her small giggles and red cheeks and bright eyes made her look like a child who had just seen Santa Clause.
KYAAAA!! can you say innocently CUTEEE!! :lol:
a complete 360 (or maybe just 180 XD) to this:
“Um… since I intruded on you for the past two nights,” she started, not making eye contact, “do you want to come to my house today? You could help me set up the turtle…”
and
“See how far we can go tonight?” Reina offered, smiling shyly.
:nervous
TanaShige is winning.. :O but i can see why... :D they would make an adorable pairing too.. :grin:

“Well… I think you nicked over here a little…” Eri said slowly, pointing at her cheek.
“Where? Let me see.”
Eri leaned into the kitten with her head turned to the side. Reina examined the turtle’s cheek for any signs of an injury, but the skin was clean and clear. Before she could question this, Eri suddenly turned her head and kissed the shorter girl on the lips and backed away with a grin.
:luvluv1: TOOOOO CUTE. So sneaky XD
“Why are you getting so worked up all of a sudden?” Eri asked again, still a little surprised by the way Reina was acting, since she was usually calm and poised. “And being all protective too… I thought I was supposed to be the boy between the two of us.”
She's obviously jealous!! :on lol:
“Girls get jealous too!” the kitten argued. “I mean… not like I’m jealous or anything… because I’m not that type… yeah.”
Awwww I love jealous Reina. I like how she gets all possessive and mad and stuff :shy1:
Ehh am I one of the few gakikame supporters here?? :sweatdrop:
Thanks for the update! :bow:
-
Yay~you posted! This chapter was ubber good~~~Considering that it is Tanakamei~ Reina is just so cute acting all shy and receiving her first present. You did really well on it, no worries. I really can't wait till Tanakamei appears again~but I'm also excited for Takagaki.
She could be elegant and poised but also fiery and passionate. She could be a lot of things but most of all, she was just a girl in love.
I really had to point out this quote since it was very well thought-out. If you were worried about writing Reina as the "recessive" one, then this summarized everything you said; a good way to end your thoughts.
i totally agree with this XD GakiKame is...amm... :?
more than nothing... funny :lol:
and to me... :smhid i dont like this couple...is more like friendship :roll:
Yes yes. I guess it is because I really like Tanakamei that I cannot support GakiKame. I see them as really really great friends, but being paired up just doesn't look right. :P
-
Yay! Updates!! :cow:
Guess what? I'm almost done with Kokoro no Uta. :D Only two more chapters. This is like the fourth time. :grin:
What is this?? :shocked: What is with this awesomely cute chapter? :inlove: It's wayy tooo adorablee~!! :mon lovelaff:
Haha, I have a feeling that TanaKamei won't be alone at Reina's house. :lol:
And I looovveee dominant Kame over Reina. :mon inluv:
Yes, yes! Risa staying a bit later for Ai-chan! :mon innocent: This shall be interesting. :wub: :heart:
(Yikes, I'm not used to any of the listed couples. I only hang around TanaKamei, Takagaki, ReinAi, and AiEri most of the time.) :nervous
Thanks for the chapter! Made my day even better. :twothumbs
-
It's too long chap, but I like it :wub:
Reina's overprotective nee~ :lol:
Anyway, wait for the next chap :wub:
Loving you, SarangAi :inlove:
-
First time I've seen a video half way through a chapter, Nice! :lol:
Seems as though Reina's gone from the kinda donineering woman when she thought Eri was a guy and is n ow a lot more cute, it's sweet actually, how she act's arounf Eri now
Reina's very protective now though it seems, poor Eri, neatly had her hand pulled off! :doh:
-
I'm about to cry right now XD
Finally!!!TanaKame part :heart: this chappie is really really really cute XD XD I WANT MORE!! :lol:
thank for the update :wub:
-
Kame is a natural dance Goddess. I'm soooo happy that you let her dance in this fic! Another reason why I should talk about it to my friends :twothumbs
Man Reina is really out now that she acceps the fact that she's gay. She put that guy in place with so much class you can only bow down :bow:
Well... Regarding the poll... Reina is winning in couples with Gaki and Sayu... But KameShige is close behind so... maybe you could consider the TanaGaki and keep the KameShige....? :mon cute: (I know this is hitting your weak spot! Come on you know you want it!!! :rofl: )
-
@kurosawa87: little? XD
@eruchan: I guess that was a pretty serious line there. I put it in as to have some sincere moments in this fic; there are people in the world who are ignorant like that and I hope everyone can realize that such differences like that between people shouldn't matter in real love and friendship :)
@mmsuki: I was actually quite surprised that TanaShige was winning; I threw that in there just for fun but I didn't expect them to be first :lol:
@astro18: I actually started supporting GakiKame a bit more recently-- considering the number of votes it has, I'm pretty sure there are other supporters who just don't comment :nervous
@sapphire: lol I know how much of a major TanaKame fan you are... but I'm gonna split them up anyways, whether its GakiKame or TanaShige or etc. :sweatdrop:
@kano-chan: OMG you read Kokoro no Uta that much? Isn't it boring already? :shocked XD
@Shiawase_Honoo: lol well I had promised a long chapter when I got back from two weeks of hiatus... so yeah XD
@oddball: I'd like to portray Reina as a bit more honest now and really comfortable around Eri. I'll do my best! :D
@junejy: aww~ I'm glad you liked it :wub:
@Tchips: LOL I do like that emoticon... :inlove:
Yay~~ thanks for all the comments minna! :twothumbs
I'm seeing a lot of GakiKame antis here and that the voting poll is REALLY close.
Remember that this is just a SURVEY. It doesn't decide anything. For all we know, I might feel like writing ReinAi all of a sudden and just go with that :nervous
And someone (don't remember who) asked if Ai wasn't going to be in my next fic since she's not in the poll.
SHE WILL BE. ALL the Momusu members will be in the fic. It's just that, for example, if I end up going with TanaShige, I might decide to throw in... let's say... AiEri for the sake of variety or something. You never know. Seriously. XD
I'll try to update as soon as possible since I've been away for a while, so wait for me! :D
-
Actually I've read Kokoro no uta severl times as well :nervous It never gets old :w00t: Btw I'm all for AiEri pairing :inlove:
-
Yay! :grin: Please (maybe) RECONSIDER REINAI AND AIERI! :mon innocent: :heart:
And Kokoro no Uta is still great after a time of not reading it! :wub: It's that awesome. :twothumbs You should be happy! XD
-
@astro18: really? it got old for me by the last chapter... :sweatdrop:
@kano-chan: lol i am VERY happy. I didn't even expect that story to be so popular, and i'm very thankful you all love it so much XD
So... I was on a roll. So I just wrote this chapter straight through. XD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 43
“Hai, douzo.”
“Arigatou, Gaki-san.”
Takahashi-sensei received the essay from her star student about how to conduct oneself in class. Unlike the restless turtle friend of hers, the bean had actually taken her sweet time to write out the essay that would’ve normally taken her only a couple minutes, even if it was to be over ten pages. She wanted to stick around in school a little longer, just so that she could stay with her teacher. Alas, the sun was starting to set and the bean realized she had been dragging on for a bit too long, and that her teacher deserved to go home for the day as well. So she quickly finished up and handed in her extra work.
“Are you going to read it now?” Risa asked, leaning on the teacher’s desk in the front of the room. “Do you think it’s good?”
“You tell me; you wrote it,” the teacher smiled.
“I think it’s pretty well-written,” Risa said.
“Okay, then,” Ai shrugged. With that, she ripped up the multiple pages of essays and threw it in the wastebasket.
“Chotto!” the bean yelled in disbelief. “Why did you do that?”
“I trust that you wrote a good essay,” Ai shrugged, smirking. “I don’t have to check it. You’ll get all the participation points that you lost today, Gaki-san. Good work.”
“So you just made me write it for the sake of writing?” the bean questioned, narrowing her eyes.
“Pretty much, yeah,” the teacher chuckled. “I’m sure it was a beautiful essay. On the other hand, I’ll have to read over Kamei-san’s essay since I didn’t expect her to finish so quickly…”
“Oh, you’re cruel,” Risa grumbled.
“So I’ve been told,” Ai smiled sweetly and innocently.
“You really are an unbelievable teacher,” the student sighed, pouting. “And I spent so much time on writing that too… By the way, is your shoulder okay?”
“Oh, it’s fine, thank you.”
An awkward silence followed as Risa nodded slowly. She started to realize that she had brought up the topic a little too abruptly and at the wrong time, since she could feel her cheeks heating up. The memory from that past afternoon returned to her thoughts as she imagined her teacher with her shirt pulled down on the side, showing a faint bruise from the falling books, and the smooth skin of her shoulder…
Stop that, Risa! The bean thought, squeezing her eyes shut. You’re acting like an old man; don’t be weird!
“The ice pack really did help,” Ai said with a smile, breaking the silence. “Thank you, Gaki-san.”
“No, no, I should be thanking you for saving me from the falling books…” Saving me from falling books? This isn’t some sort of RPG game, Risa, you’re making it sound like a monster or something!
“Well then, shall we head home?” Ai said, standing up from her desk. “We’re probably the only ones left in the building; it’s pretty late.”
“Yeah, I should get home before Mama gets back from work…” the bean mumbled to herself.
“Ah! I forgot!” the teacher suddenly gasped as she was packing her books in her bag. “I left my grade book in the classroom.”
“Mou, Sensei, you did that last time too!” Risa moaned. “You shouldn’t leave that kind of thing just lying around.”
“I know, I know, it’s my fault,” Ai sighed, smiling apologetically. “Could you wait here for a while, Gaki-san? I don’t want you to leave alone; it’s too dangerous at this time.”
“It’s okay, the sun is only setting now,” Risa said. “It’s not that dark yet.”
“But still, I’m the one who kept you this late after school,” Ai insisted. “I don’t feel comfortable letting you leave alone. It’ll only be a couple seconds, okay? Let me just run down to the classroom and get my book.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you,” the student laughed.
Ai smiled as she quickly jogged out of the teacher’s lounge and disappeared down the hall way. Risa idly started to look around the room in silence; there wasn’t anything new to see since she had been here many times. It wasn’t for reasons that some unruly students came here for; most of the time, the class president had been called down for compliments or for something pertaining to her duties as iinchou. Risa yawned as she lazily covered her mouth. She was feeling tired from all the writing she had done. Part of her felt like going home right away to relax but a stronger part told her to stay put and feel fortunate to be able to stay with Sensei so much today.
At that moment, Risa noticed that her teacher had left her desk drawer slightly open. The bean tried to close it but something got caught inside that prevented her from doing so. So instead, she opened the drawer all the way and flattened out the stacks of paper that had gotten stuck in the corner and started to close it again. Before she did so, Risa noticed a folded piece of lined paper, just rolling around in the drawer unlike the stack of worksheets. Narrowing her eyes, she picked up the lined paper and unfolded it. She gasped as she recognized the words written on it.
For one thing, I don’t think I hate her anymore.
In fact, I may even like her.
It was the note that had been passed back and forth between Eri and her! How old was this note anyway? She recognized the other words scribbled all around the page as well. This was the time when Risa was starting to realize her true feelings for Takahashi-sensei… But didn’t her teacher tell her that she had thrown the note away? So why was it still here…?
Just then, Risa noticed something else at the bottom of the page. There was something whited out at the corner with more pen scribbles at the top. She knew neither Eri nor herself had done that. Whoever made that mark had written something and then had wanted to erase it. Letting her curiosity get the better of her, the bean flipped the page over and turned on the lamp on Ai’s desk. She then narrowed her eyes as she strained to read the flipped message. She gasped as she finally realized what had been written before being erased.
I don’t think I hate you either.
In fact, I know I like you.
Risa couldn’t believe her eyes. This was definitely her teacher’s handwriting; she could even recognize it when it was a mirror image. So many thoughts ran through the bean’s head. What did this message mean? Could it be that her teacher actually did have the same feelings for her student? Then why did she lie about how she didn’t care for Risa at all? By the way, hadn’t Ai said that she threw away this note? Why was it still here? Why did she lie?
“Gaki-san, sorry making you wait! I—”
The older woman’s words stopped short as she burst back into the teacher lounge with a smile that soon dropped as she realized what was in Risa’s hand. The bean looked up, shock obvious in her eyes. The teacher pursed her lips tightly as she smoothed her face, revealing no expression whatsoever. She figured that this sort of thing may happen and actually had faint hope that it would, but she had really done her best to prevent it. But it was too late now.
“Sensei…” Risa mumbled, staring at the woman before her with wide eyes, “this note… you still have it… I mean… why? I don’t understand… and this part that you whited out—”
“It’s getting late now, Gaki-san, we should head home,” Ai said in a low voice.
“No, wait, Sensei! Answer my question!”
The bean continued to mumble on, unable to speak calmly as her teacher shoved the grade book in her bag on the desk and slung it over her shoulders. She started to walk out of the lounge again before Risa stopped her.
“Sensei, why did you lie to me?!” the student yelled, confused and desperate.
“I never lied to you, Gaki-san,” Ai said calmly, her hands resting on the door handle. She didn’t even bother turning around to face the younger girl.
“You told me that you don’t care for me at all,” Risa claimed. “But here, here it says, ‘I don’t think I hate you either, in fact, I know I like you’… You… you’re writing that to me…”
“Don’t make useless assumptions, Gaki-san,” Ai said with a steady voice again. “Head home and calm down. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
With that, Takahashi-sensei walked out of the lounge without looking back as Risa exhaled sharply. Her thoughts were all jumbled up together, immobilizing her of making a coherent analysis. Ai had rejected her confession and now, the bean had discovered a note that showed her true feelings. Did that mean her teacher had loved her all along? Then why did she lie? And if she still has this note, does that mean Ai still has feelings for the bean? Did that mean mutual emotions? Or was this all just by some sort of chance…
No, nothing fits anymore! Risa thought to herself, ruffling her hair. You have to stop her, Risa, don’t let her go now! I have to know!
The student sprinted out of the lounge and whipped around to face the long corridor; she could see her teacher walking slowly at a steady pace, a couple feet away.
“Takahashi-sensei!” Risa shouted. She thought about running over and grabbing her teacher but Ai stopped in her tracks without turning around. “This note… this note is your true feelings, isn’t it?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Ai said coldly. “Didn’t we go through that I didn’t hold the same feelings for you?”
“But you’re lying!” Risa accused. “You were lying before and you’re lying now!” You’ve got to be lying… please say you’re lying…
“What kind of example would I be setting for my student if I told lies all the time?” Ai said. “Good night, Gaki-san.”
“SENSEI!” Risa screamed again, forcing her teacher to stop in her footsteps once more. “I… I might just be making a fool out of myself again but… if the reason that you kept this note is because you hold the same feelings as I do for you, then please… please be more honest!”
“This conversation is over—”
“PLEASE!” Risa shrilled, clutching the folded note sheet to her chest. She bit down on her lips to get a hold of herself but she couldn’t stop the tears from overflowing her eyes and streaming down her cheek. “Please… I have to know, Sensei, please tell me the truth! If we feel the same way towards each other, why can’t we be together? I thought I would be satisfied by just staying beside you but if you wish for the same thing… why can’t we be more than teacher and student? Sensei, answer me!”
Risa stared at her teacher’s back that made no indication of movement. The younger girl let out a loud cry as she hung her head down to let her tears plop down to the tiled hallway floors.
“You’re always like this, Sensei… If this is about you being bad person again, don’t give me any of that bullshit! I don’t care about any of that, Sensei, I love you! I love you so much that even if I hurt myself, I have to say it! So please be more honest with yourself! Stop putting yourself through all this!” Stop putting us through all this… “I love you, Sensei, I love you more than anything else in the world. Please believe in that… listen to yourself properly and do what you want to do!”
Silence took over the hallway once more as the only audible sound was of Risa’s sobs. Ai stood still for a couple seconds before clenching her fists tightly. Suddenly, she whipped around and marched over to where the younger girl was crying. She grabbed her wrist and pulled her roughly into the nearest classroom and shut the door. Then, she slammed Risa against the closed door and held her wrist down.
Before the bean could react to the sudden pain in her back from being swung against the wooden door, Ai leaned in and started to kiss the younger girl furiously. Risa gasped, which gave the teacher just enough time to access with her tongue and swirl it around inside. The bean let out a low whimper but didn’t fight back. She could tell her teacher was being too forceful with the kiss, but she also felt anxiety, guilt, agony, and most of all, desire. She had been waiting for this moment, to be able to touch Risa without anything restraining her. Ai knew that the student’s second confession had really gotten her this time around, and knew that she should relax a little bit and go slower, but she couldn’t resist. She had truly wanted this for a long time, to be able to kiss her and touch her, even if it was just a little bit.
After a couple more seconds of biting and sucking, Ai finally backed away about a centimeter: just enough room to breathe but close enough distance to gaze as deeply as possible into Risa’s eyes. The younger girl’s face was bright as she was breathing heavily. Her eyes were still a little bit watery from the crying and her clothes were ruffled from being treated roughly. Ai was pretty sure that she probably looked the same way at the moment.
“Was that your first kiss?” the older woman asked quietly.
“Yes,” Risa answered in a hoarse voice.
“… Damn it,” Ai cussed, biting her lips. She stared into Risa’s eyes with passion and desperation. “Now, you listen to me. If you let me touch you anymore than this, I won’t be able to hold myself back on a daily basis anymore. You’re still young but this is different for adults; we don’t change our minds as easily as teenage girls do about love. And once I take another kiss from you, I’m not going to let you go, do you understand? There is no going back for you; it’s your final decision. Do you get that?”
“Yes, I get it.”
“No, you don’t!” Ai yelled, shutting her eyes for a second. “Another kiss from you, right here, right now, means forever. You will be losing your chance at having a normal relationship like a normal girl. There will be no more innocence and purity from you. Your high school memories will be very different from other girls, most likely for the worse, do you understand that?”
“I think it’ll be for the better.”
“You still don’t understand!” Ai said through her teeth. “You are losing a big part of your life here by letting me have you. Your life will be covered with secrets and anxiety forever. Do you really want that? Do you?”
“If it’s a package deal with you, then yes.”
Risa smiled sadly as she slipped her wrists out of Ai’s hold which was weakening. She cupped the older woman’s cheeks and pressed her forehead against hers. Ai sighed and mumbled something incoherent under her breath.
“You still don’t get it at all right now,” she said, “you don’t get it at all.”
“I’m not being a romantic here, Sensei,” Risa said calmly. “I’m not being some stupid teenage girl making a mistake either. I know the risks and I know the worries but I still want to be with you. And there will be no going back, and that’s my wish.”
“… You’re making a big mistake,” Ai whispered, her eyes showing defeat.
“So you’re going to stop me?” Risa asked.
“I have no right to stop you anymore,” the older woman sighed. “I can’t even stop myself now.”
Then, Ai leaned in to kiss her girl in her arms again, much gentler and softer this time. Risa wrapped her arms around Ai’s neck, determined to hold her in place. The older woman raised one hand to stroke her lover’s cheek, allowing her to moan softly.
“I love you,” Ai mumbled with a small smile.
“Finally,” Risa joked, eliciting a chuckle form her teacher.
After that little exchange, they started to kiss once more, unable to have enough of the sweetness they had both longed for.
The first kiss was the contract. The second kiss was the seal. And the third kiss was the condition of eternity.

-
OK!! hold-up.. i need to compose myself to write a sensible comment.. :panic:
Edit:
seriously this chapter had the same effect to me reading Chapter 39!! :lol: i look like a crazy person once again reading
your fic.. XD i went from HAHAHA :rofl:, to :shocked, to :smhid, to :wub: :wub:.. LOL.. here is my more sensible(?) comment.. XD
“Okay, then,” Ai shrugged. With that, she ripped up the multiple pages of essays and threw it in the wastebasket.
hahahaha!! :rofl: poor Bean.. but if that was done to me i would be pretty pissed off.. :angry:
Just then, Risa noticed something else at the bottom of the page. There was something whited out at the corner with more pen scribbles at the top. She knew neither Eri nor herself had done that. Whoever made that mark had written something and then had wanted to erase it. Letting her curiosity get the better of her, the bean flipped the page over and turned on the lamp on Ai’s desk. She then narrowed her eyes as she strained to read the flipped message. She gasped as she finally realized what had been written before being erased.
I don’t think I hate you either.
In fact, I know I like you.
i DID NOT!! see this coming.. :w00t: i didn't think that piece of paper would play such a big role on bringing them together.. :oops:
i'm really glad it did!! :grin:
“This note… this note is your true feelings, isn’t it?”
you tell her Gaki-san!! :onioncheer:.. and it is, it is.. we all can see it.. LOL..
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Ai said coldly. “Didn’t we go through that I didn’t hold the same feelings for you?”
STOP denying it already sensei!! you have already been caught!! :lol:
“You’re always like this, Sensei… If this is about you being bad person again, don’t give me any of that bullshit! I don’t care about any of that, Sensei, I love you! I love you so much that even if I hurt myself, I have to say it! So please be more honest with yourself! Stop putting yourself through all this!” Stop putting us through all this…
YES!! stop putting US through all this!! :rofl: go on get together already damn it!! XD
“Yes, I get it.”
“No, you don’t!” Ai yelled, shutting her eyes for a second.
she said she got it!! why argue!!! stop arguing!! and carry-on!!!!!!!!!! :lol:
“I think it’ll be for the better.”
“You still don’t understand!” Ai said through her teeth.
SHE UNDERSTANDS! she understands!!! she is in the top of your class for crying out loud!! so believe her when she says she understands!! :angry:
“If it’s a package deal with you, then yes.”
its a pretty sweet deal ain't it?? :lol: its definitely a bargain.. ;)
“… You’re making a big mistake,” Ai whispered, her eyes showing defeat.
“So you’re going to stop me?” Risa asked.
“I have no right to stop you anymore,” the older woman sighed. “I can’t even stop myself now.”
NO you are not making a big mistake!! and YES!!! DON'T STOP!!! :onioncheer: :kekeke:
The first kiss was the contract. The second kiss was the seal. And the third kiss was the condition of eternity.
pretty sweet line.. :nya: :wriggly:
OK!! i'm on TakaGaki high right now.. LOL.. gonna be grinning for a while.. :P :grin:
-
:luvluv1: OH MY GOSH!! She finally gave into her feelings!! :imdead:
“No, you don’t!” Ai yelled, shutting her eyes for a second. “Another kiss from you, right here, right now, means forever. You will be losing your chance at having a normal relationship like a normal girl. There will be no more innocence and purity from you. Your high school memories will be very different from other girls, most likely for the worse, do you understand that?”
Ai seems to know a lot about that.. Something about her past?? :? Or maybe just me speculating haha :sweatdrop:
Anyways, I didn't expect such a quick update! Thanks for a great chap as always :bow:
-
ai finally gives into the temptations only meaning more pain later on :nervous
-
wow... you updated real quick this time :D
ah... Ai-sensei finally give in to the temptation... takagaki :heart:
such a classic moment XD confession in an empty classroom, after school....
“… Damn it,” Ai cussed, biting her lips. She stared into Risa’s eyes with passion and desperation. “Now, you listen to me. If you let me touch you anymore than this, I won’t be able to hold myself back on a daily basis anymore. You’re still young but this is different for adults; we don’t change our minds as easily as teenage girls do about love. And once I take another kiss from you, I’m not going to let you go, do you understand? There is no going back for you; it’s your final decision. Do you get that?”
“Yes, I get it.”
“No, you don’t!” Ai yelled, shutting her eyes for a second. “Another kiss from you, right here, right now, means forever.

Your high school memories will be very different from other girls, most likely for the worse, do you understand that?”
“I think it’ll be for the better.”
“You still don’t understand!” Ai said through her teeth. “You are losing a big part of your life here by letting me have you. Your life will be covered with secrets and anxiety forever. Do you really want that? Do you?”
possibly Ai's personal experience in the past? :?
but Ai is right... teacher-student relationship won't be smooth sailing :nervous
-
HELL YES! :mon crazyinlove: Finally, Ai-chan!!! That was hot, CUTE, and hot! :inlove: :wub: :heart:
I love how Ai-chan just kissed her! So adorable! :mon lovelaff:
And wonder if Gaki would ever call Ai-chan, "Ai-chan". :roll: I mean...It's kinda weird if it's "Sensei" all the time. XD I have a sensei too. :nervous :sweatdrop:
I'll be waiting for the surprise! :twothumbs
-
SQUEEEEE! :mon lovelaff:
FINALLY! TakaGaki!!! :heart: I'm grinning so hard my face hurts.
-
^
My sentiments exactlyyyyy~~ :wriggly:
These last 2 chapters are TOTALLY what I needed for the weekend XD
-
@aya-chii: no, it's not ending yet, I promised an Arc 2 XD
@mmsuki: LOL I live the TakaGaki high, sweetie :lol:
@astro18: yeah, i was on a roll writing so i thought "heck why not just update again" :D
@kurosawa87: but she'll definitely try to prevent that pain for the bean... :P
@eruchan: You know how I am with the classic kdrama moments... XD
@kano-chan: LOL yeah I have a sensei too.... but i try not to think about that :sweatdrop: i don't know if she'll ever call her Ai-chan. I'll think about it :lol:
@XcuteX: LOL I like the moving SQUEE :rofl:
@Avatar: That's all I want to hear; make your weekend more enjoyable :wub: XD
thank you for all the comments + thanks! Again, even though I've been away for quite a while, I'm very happy and grateful to know that this thread didn't die yet (quite alive now, actually) :twothumbs
So far, it seems like TanaShige, KameShige, and TanaGaki are neck and neck with each other which REALLY puts me at a dilemma. Just to let you guys know, I didn't vote and I don't plan to cuz I love all of these couples so much... :lol:
on a side note, I'm glad that TanaJun and ReiKa are getting some votes at least :D
I shall continue to write! :cow:
-
OMG!~This is such an awesome chapter. I feel like the plot is actually moving now that TakaGaki has advanced in their relationship. :lol: I'm really curious about what happened in Ai's past that's so secretive. I really like how you always leave some sort of suspense between all the couples. I'm currently wondering whether Tanakamei has taken a step into their relationship, what went on between Sayu and Junjun, and what is Ai-chan's past? But...I can't help but notice a pattern going on here.... All the couples were left in a state where they were kissing. XD
@sapphire: lol I know how much of a major TanaKame fan you are... but I'm gonna split them up anyways, whether its GakiKame or TanaShige or etc. :sweatdrop:
Oh, don't get me wrong. I meant to say that I like how you're splitting up the couples and thinking about writing about different couples. :twothumbs As for GakiKame, I only see them as best friends, so it'll be hard to imagine. Plus, there's no GakiKame fanfic out there that really got me into them, so that's probably why they're one of the last on my list. But I'm always open to new couples and stuffs. We'll just have to see. :)
-
Omg, first of all, Kame dominant yay! I have been so busy lately, I haven't really had time to comment. Tanakame is so cute, I love shy little Reina. Prim and proper? Hard to imagine, but oddly fitting.
Second, omg Takagaki! Finally! I think I'm drooling, :lol: I'm so excited. I know this was a Tanakame main pairing, but Takagaki takes the cake in this chapter. Maybe it was the way Ai attacked Gaki. XD Am I making sense, I'm so tired. :sweatdrop:
-
FINALLY!!!! :w00t: Yay Ai-chan!!! :cow: :cow: I'm so waiting for the next chapters!! :lol: This is going to be so interesting :twothumbs Man, why can't I have such a nice teacher?? XD Anyway, great job SarangAi!!! :thumbsup I really loved this :wub: You saved my overbooked Sunday, than you :)
-
AHMYYYGAAAAAAAD!!! :panic: FINALLY!!! :wub:
I'm so happy right now!!! I freaked out so much when you updated... and even MORE when I read that TakaGaki chapter! XD
Thankyou so much SarangAi!!! The TakaGaki fangirl in me is bursting with the utmost happiness right now ~~~! Can't wait for the next chapter!
-
(Kiss on SarangAi's cheek)
FINALLY!!! :inlove:
We all (I think) wait for this chap so long. And finally, you did it!!!! :inlove:
You're my hero!!! (or heroine?)
-
So Finally Ai and Gaki get it on though I have the funny feeling that there are many unresolved feelings still between this pair, especially with Ai's feelings about the 'bad things' she did in her past!
-
Sorry, no comment replies! I'm in a rush! :sweatdrop:
But at least I'm updating, right?? XD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 44
Reina closed the door behind her and turned the lock with one hand. Her other hand was being held on to by the turtle next to her who awkwardly took off her shoes and entered the kitten’s home. The hallway was very dark; the girls could barely see in front of them. But they could both still feel each other’s presence by their side.
“Shitsureshimasu,” Eri said, dropping her messenger bag to the ground.
“You don’t need to say that, no one’s here,” the shorter girl chuckled, letting go of her lover’s hand to take off her backpack. She started to feel around the wall for the light switch. “Why is it so dark in here?”
“It’s okay, don’t bother,” Eri said, taking Reina’s hands and pinning them against the wall. “We don’t need lights for our experiment…”
Reina’s cheeks blushed a deep red as she slowly closed her eyes to meet her girlfriend’s lips. What started out gentle and slow soon turned rougher and more passionate. One of Eri’s hands made its way down to the slim girl’s waist and to her thighs as she used the other hand to balance herself against the wall in a way that her lover wouldn’t be crushed. Moaning softly, Reina thrust her tongue into her lover’s mouth, eager for more. Her hands, now free from the turtle’s grip, immediately constricted around her partner’s neck and tangled into the short hair. Feeling her girlfriend get more and more into the action, Eri hitched up Reina’s leg around her waist, pulling the skirt up in the process. The kitten gasped as she felt a smooth hand stroke her ass and give it a gentle squeeze. As her competitive side burst into a fire, Reina started to furiously unbutton her lover’s shirt, pushing her hands in to feel two perfect molds on Eri’s chest. She felt the taller girl lose a beat as she let out a whimper and bit down on her lips; the kitten dn’t dmiss the slightest chance to start kissing her with as much passion as she could manage. She finally felt like they were on equal levels now since she had caught the turtle off guard. The two girls were in such bliss, addicted to their own love, that they didn’t realize the lights had suddenly turned on.
“Okaeri, Tanaka-senpa— WAH!”
The two lovers immediately turned to face a teenage girl, frozen in shock, with two other girls standing beside her. The shortest one had her mouth wide open as the tallest, black-haired girl snickered to herself. Eri gasped as she turned around to quickly button her shirt back while Reina cursed under her breath as she pushed her skirt back down and fished her wrinkled uniform.
“That was a nice show,” the tallest girl said, smirking. “You guys can continue if you want.”
“Shut the hell up, Junjun!” Reina growled, wiping her lips with her thumb to conceal the smudged lip gloss. “What are you doing in my house again?”
“Hey, it’s not my fault that you always leave your key under the first flower pot,” the panda shrugged. She craned her neck to the side to look behind Reina. “Good to see you again, Kame-chan. Everything worked out pretty well, huh? Did you score yet?”
“Ah, yes, everything worked out, thanks to you…” Eri laughed nervously, scratching her head. “And um… no, I didn’t… uh… score… yet.”
“Aw, that’s cruel, Reina! You’re still holding back?” the yankii leader clicked her tongue. “How about you give Kame-chan here a prize for not giving up on you for so long?”
“How about you just shut up and be grateful that I’m not beating your face in right now, huh?” Reina said through her teeth threateningly.
“Ah… Reina? I think you should calm down,” Eri smiled nervously. “Your accent is coming out…”
“And you!” the ex-yankii yelled, whipping around to glare at her girlfriend, who was clearly stunned now. “Don’t actually answer her question like that… score… or whatever! That kind of thing… Ugh!” Reina stomped in frustration as she blushed with embarrassment. She then quickly turned and ran up the stairs as Eri called behind her.
“I guess I teased her too much,” Junjun laughed.
“Um… I don’t think you should laugh, Jun-senpai,” Aika sighed. “Tanaka-senpai was really mad.”
“Sou, sou,” Linlin agreed, nodding.
“I’ll go up and talk to her,” Eri sighed, smiling. “She’ll be fine… I hope.”
“Don’t worry, she’ll be back to her usual self in no time,” Junjun rolled her eyes. “Reina doesn’t hold grudges. Anyway, when she’s feeling better, bring her down. We made dinner for everyone.”
“You me ‘us’,” Aika corrected, “as in Linlin and I. You just sat there trying to flirt with—”
“Okay, I’m going to go up now,” Eri interrupted, realizing these girls always had something to talk about one after another.
The turtle quickly skipped over the steps and approached the only bedroom door that was closed. She knocked on the door to receive a “go away” in return. Eri sighed as she entered the room anyway, closing the door behind her quietly. She looked around the room, realizing that she had never been in here before. The walls were spotlessly white as well as all the furniture, not that there was much anyway. The room was surprisingly plain with a generally white-and-gray color scheme with tall ceilings that seemed to end in an odd curve. There was a lump under the gray bed sheet in the center of the room.
“I thought I said to go away,” a voice said from the lump.
“You didn’t say, ‘please’,” Eri joked, smiling as she walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.
“That’s not funny,” the kitten mumbled.
“Yeah, I know,” the turtle sighed. “Come out and talk to me, Reina, please?”
“I don’t want to,” the voice muttered.
“Are you mad at me?”
“Not you, it’s those annoying, pesky—”
“Friends?”
“… If ‘friends’ mean ‘mortal enemies’, then yeah.”
“Come on, Reina,” Eri chuckled. “Just show me your face. Please?”
After some silence, the gray lump started to move around. Reina sat up and poked her face out from the blanket, pouting and still obviously annoyed from Junjun’s previous comment.
“Good,” the turtle said. “Now, I’m sorry if I upset you back there. I didn’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable like that, I won’t do it again. I promise.”
“Why are you apologizing?” Reina mumbled, avoiding eye contact. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”
“But I feel like I may have encouraged Junjun more,” Eri sighed. “I shouldn’t do that. So I’m sorry.”
“… It’s okay,” the kitten also sighed. “I guess I was just frustrated from seeing that they broke into my home again. And also saw you and me… like that…”
“Oh yeah, that,” Eri said, blushing a little from remembering the previous make-out session. “Sorry about the skirt thing. I went too far.”
“No, I’m not upset that they saw me in… that position… or whatever,” Reina hesitated. “It’s just… it was our moment, you know? It was our world and then they just… broke it. I don’t want people to see us when I’m focused completely on you and you only. Am I being possessive?”
“Kind of,” Eri laughed, “but I like it that way. I’m kind of selfish when it comes to you, too.”
“No, you’re not,” Reina scoffed. “I think I’m the more obsessive one. Like today at the arcade and right now as well. It’s always been like this.”
“That’s not true,” the turtle argued. “Remember when we did that couple contest thing at the café? I didn’t want you up on that mic ‘appealing yourself’ or whatever because… well… you’re cute. You know, I was pretty pissed when everybody started to stare at you with googly-eyes.”
“Googly-eyes?” Reina giggled. “They were not looking at me like that.”
“Yes they were,” Eri said, also grinning. “And I glared back because I can be possessive too. Like… this can only belong to me.” With that, she quickly dove in to kiss Reina’s lips, causing her to turn red.
“You’re a smooth talker,” Reina muttered, clearly her throat, “saying things like that…”
“Well, is it working?” Eri smiled.
“Is there another option?” Reina mumbled. She then dropped the bed sheet from her head and snuggled closer to her lover. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
“Me neither,” Eri sighed, embracing the smaller girl. “Can we go back down and have some dinner now? I promise I won’t encourage Junjun anymore.”
“It’s okay now,” Reina sighed. “I can handle her. Thanks.” She quickly pecked Eri on the cheek and stood up. She also pulled the turtle back up by her hands and led her out of the bedroom.
The two lovers marched back down the stairs and turned into the kitchen. Aika and Linlin turned to look at them from the stove; they smiled when they sensed that Reina was in a better mood. The young couple was, once again, wearing matching aprons.
“Tanaka-senpai!” Aika yelled happily. “Genki?”
“Un, genki da yo!” Reina said, grinning. “What are you guys making?”
“It’s udon,” Linlin answered. “We thought about making some thick tonkatsu udon but we figured regular was better for Shige-san.”
“Shige-san?” Reina questioned, looking around the kitchen. She finally spotted an unfamiliar girl, seated on one of the stools by the counter next to Junjun. The panda stood up and pulled the girl along with her.
“Reina and Kame-chan, this is my girlfriend,” Junjun said proudly. “Usa-chan, this is my best friend Tanaka Reina and her girlfriend, Kamei Eri.”
“H-hajimemashite,” Sayumi mumbled, bowing a little. “Michishige Sayumi… desu.”
“Doumo, Kamei Eri desu,” the turtle introduced herself.
“Tanaka Reina desu,” the kitten said. “You talk kind of funny though. Like… you rehearsed your lines or something.”
“Because she did,” Junjun snickered. “I told you, Usa-chan, you have to loosen up.”
“I thought I did fine,” Sayumi muttered, looking down.
“She’s just a little shy in front of people she doesn’t know,” the panda grinned. “But you’ll see her black side when she gets to know you guys better.”
“Chotto!” Sayumi yelled, glaring up at her tall girlfriend, who only laughed.
“Well, I like her, she’s cute,” Reina said, sticking her tongue out at the yankii leader. “Can I call you Shige-san too? I don’t know what this girl did to make you her girlfriend but good luck being with this douche.”
“Ouch, that hurt, Reina,” Junjun said sarcastically, rubbing her cheek.
“Um, I hope we can become good friends, Shige-san,” Eri said, smiling at the black-haired beauty. “You can call me Eri.”
“… Doumo,” Sayumi mumbled again without making eye contact.
“Okay, everybody, the udon is ready!” Linlin announced. “Everybody head to the living room!”
“Why are we eating in the living room?” Reina questioned.
“I thought it would be better if we all sit on the floor to eat,” Junjun shrugged. “We’re eating udon after all, so I thought why not go all traditional. Besides, it feels more like a family, doesn’t it?”
When everybody entered the living room across the hallway, the short-legged rectangular table was already set up. Reina sat herself at the head of one side as Eri sank down next to her. Linlin sat on the other side of Reina as Junjun sat across from Reina. Sayumi started to sit next to Linlin before Junjun swung her over to sit next to Eri instead, so that Aika can sit next to Linlin. The pale-skinned girl seemed a little bit uncomfortable at first, but soon put on a determined face and sat down next to the turtle. She knew she had to start opening up now; Junjun was such a social person. If she wanted to keep up with her new girlfriend, she had to get over her phobias.
“Okay, here it is!” Aika announced as she came out from the kitchen holding a pot of udon.
She placed it in the center of the table and took off the oven mittens that she had on. As she did that, Linlin quickly ran back into the kitchen to get the tray full of bowls and chopsticks. Everybody passed aorudn the necessary utensils, making small chat while at it. As Aika opened the lid of the pot, all the girls started to comment on the food.
“Wah~ Oishii sou!” Eri breathed. “It looks delicious!”
“You still got it, huh, Aika?” Reina grinned.
“Ii nioi…” Linlin said, sniffing. “It smells really good…”
“It’s thanks to Linlin for helping me,” Aika smiled, answering Reina’s question.
“I’ll scoop!” Junjun volunteered, grabbing the ladle.
The panda sat on her knees and bent over to scoop up some noodles with the soup and poured it into Eri’s bowl. Then, she went around, one by one, distributing everybody’s share. She finally filled Sayumi’s bowl as well, and winked at her while at it.
“Okay, everybody as their food now, right?” Reina asked. She clapped her hands together as everybody else imitated her. “Seno!”
“Itadakimasu!” all the girls said at once, except Sayumi who mumbled something under her breath.
Everyone grabbed her chopsticks and started to dig into the food, complimenting the taste in between slurps and bites. As the ladle started to work around the table again for seconds, the conversation worked its way up pleasantly. Soon, everybody was telling funny stories and interesting events. At one point, Aika even gave a warning to the turtle.
“If you ever hurt Tanaka-senpai again,” she said in a low voice with a glare, “I will personally take care of you.”
“Understood,” Eri smiled. “It won’t happen again, Mitsui-san.”
“Fine,” Aika muttered. “… and… call me Aika.”
“Really? Is that okay?” Eri exclaimed. “Then, you can call me… whatever else you want to!”
“Say, ‘Kame-chan’!” Linlin encouraged. “Go on!”
“I’ll say it when I need to call her name!” Aika yelled, blushing a little.
“Don’t worry Kame-chan,” Junjun laughed. “Even if Aika’s acting angry right now, she actually likes you already. I can tell.”
“I do not!”
“Can I have more udon?” Reina asked, eliciting more laughter from everyone except Aika who pouted.
As the udon pot got emptier and emptier, the conversation made its way into various other categories, including things that had happened earlier in the day. Eri talked about how she butchered her essay so she could quickly get to her date with Reina as Junjun and her girls started to all talk at once about how Sayumi had climbed a tree to confess to the panda.
“Wow, you’re really something else!” Reina commented. “Most of the girls I’ve seen around Junjun just begged and whined but I guess you’re not like that, huh, Shige-san?”
“She’s completely different,” Linlin agreed. “Jun-senpai’s the one chasing her, the way I see it.”
“But I thought Shige-san climbed the tree?” Eri asked.
“If she waited one more day, Jun-senpai would’ve climbed it sooner or later,” Aika grinned.
“Psht, not true,” the panda scoffed. “I don’t need to do things like that to get my girls. They just come to me naturally.”
“You’re the one who followed me around first, playing games and everything,” Sayumi mumbled under her breath. “I didn’t even like you.”
“Aw, come on, Usa-chan, you must’ve had some interest in me,” Junjun pouted.
“Nope.”
“Hey, I like this girl!” Reina laughed. “She got you there, Junjun.”
“Strangely, I’m okay losing to this girl,” Junjun smiled, pulling the bunny into her lap and hugging her, despite the shy girl’s quiet protests. “I must be really crazy about her.”
“Stop that…” Sayumi mumbled, feeling her cheeks heat up.
“Well, I certainly admire you for climbing a tree, Shige-san,” Eri chuckled. “Why didn’t I think of that?”
“I’m glad you didn’t do that, Eri, you would’ve killed me with a heart attack,” Reina said, rolling her eyes.
“Maybe I should’ve suggested you climb a tree…” Aika said to herself.
“Let’s not get violent here,” Junjun laughed.
“Anyway,” Reina said, beaming, “you can drop by anytime you’d like, Shige-san. You must be something really special to have Junjun do the chasing. And if you’re my best friend’s special person, then you’re a friend of mine too. So visit when you’d like, okay? My home is your home.”
“… A-arigatou gozaimasu…” the bunny said quietly. Home…?
Sayumi looked around the table at everyone, smiling at her. Eri was already taking her cell phone out to exchange numbers. Aika and Linlin were trying to say something about what the gang could do now that Sayumi was obviously going to be a part of the gatherings now. Reina was also asking her what class she was in, which Junjun answered for her. Junjun. And her warm arms could be felt around Sayumi’s waist, giving her comfort, love, and care.
Home…
Yes, this was home. It was more of a home than a real home ever could be.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And with that, it is OFFICIALLY the end of Arc 1. XD
Wasn't that sudden? I totally forgot to even warn you guys, sorry :P
So the next chapter will be a part of Arc 2 where I have different things planned for the future :D
And there will be a new trailer too! It's something REALLY short and vague, but it's still a nice thing to watch, i think :twothumbs
Thank you for supporting up until now! Please support me from now on as well... Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! :kneelbow:
:byebye: :sleep:
-
First! XD Okay, now that that's out of the way, on to a reply.
“You don’t need to say that, no one’s here,”
Umm, but isn't there usually...
“It’s okay, don’t bother,” Eri said, taking Reina’s hands and pinning them against the wall. “We don’t need lights for our experiment…”
:inlove: Nevermind.
“Okaeri, Tanaka-senpa— WAH!”
:lol: Of course.
“That was a nice show,” the tallest girl said, smirking. “You guys can continue if you want.”
Yes, please, don't mind the audience. XD
There was a lump under the gray bed sheet in the center of the room. ...
Reina sat up and poked her face out from the blanket, pouting and still obviously annoyed from Junjun’s previous comment.
I imagined Reina's sleepy pictures on her blog, just a tuft of hair and an eye peeking out of the blanket. :wub:
Am I being possessive?”
Is this foreshadowing? :?
“H-hajimemashite,” Sayumi mumbled, bowing a little. “Michishige Sayumi… desu.”
“Doumo, Kamei Eri desu,” the turtle introduced herself.
“Tanaka Reina desu,” the kitten said.
And the 6kies finally meet. :D
Yes, this was home. It was more of a home than a real home ever could be.
More foreshadowing?
And with that, it is OFFICIALLY the end of Arc 1.
Is there a spit take emote, cuz I could really use one here. :lol: Kinda like a "Huh? Wha-?" feeling. Well, do you already have plans for the next Arc? Like Jun maybe meeting Sayu's parents, Takagaki constantly sneaking around, AikaLin being AikaLin and Tanakame getting used to each other? Or have you been super busy again?
Also, could it be? New page GETS~!
-
End of Arc 1 :O
I guess Eri had her way of being jealous in a quiet way and that was quite funny
-
Ehhh already end of Arch 1? I had a feeling when you said that chapter 44 was special :nervous
So! I didn't comment on chapter 43 because.. Well I still can't say anything else that 'FINALLY!!' There's a lot I'd like to say on that one but everytime I read it to be able to write something at least a little related I end up speechless because it's really awesome lol. So yeah... FINALLY! :twothumbs
Thank you SarangAi! We'll be waiting for Arch 2 :twothumbs
-
:on gay: Wonderful chappy
*experiment scene*
:on_hot: :luvluv1: All these tanakame scenes are too cute :shy1:
Is it weird I find possessive Reina kinda hot? :nervous
Excited for arc2. Ganbare :onioncheer:
-

“Okaeri, Tanaka-senpa— WAH!”
AH! of course they're there.. :doh: just waiting for the perfect time to ruin the steamy scene.. :thumbdown:
“Good to see you again, Kame-chan. Everything worked out pretty well, huh? Did you score yet?”
she was about to until you came barging in.. :on redcard: :smhid
the gathering was a cute scene.. :grin:
And with that, it is OFFICIALLY the end of Arc 1. XD
does that mean no more TanaKame? :mon hanky:
And there will be a new trailer too! It's something REALLY short and vague, but it's still a nice thing to watch, i think :twothumbs
your trailers are the best!!! they make me go gaga too.. :grin:
-
Ahh, so Arc 1 has ended, and everybody is content and happy............... why do I worry about this? :panic:
-
Yay, an update :cow: Junjun and Sayumi are so cute :heart: :heart: it's actually funyy how at first I didn't even like Sayumi-chan, but now she has become one of my favourite persons! :D Great job, as always :twothumbs
-
so, this is the end of arc 1...
“Shut the hell up, Junjun!” Reina growled, wiping her lips with her thumb to conceal the smudged lip gloss. “What are you doing in my house again?”
Tanakamei gets interrupted XD
Reina should have known already that her friends loves to make surprise visits :lol:
and sayu officially introduced to the gang as jun's gf :heart: sayujun
-
Ch. 43
Takahashi sensei and Gaki are together :cow: :cow: finally :w00t:
Ch. 44
Reina and Kame got interrupted :sweatdrop: what a shame :nervous
Anyways I'm waiting for some more TakaGaki :wub:
-
@rndmnwierd: lol yes, I already have the second arc laid out and planned~ it won't take too long to write the next chapter (i hope) :nervous
@kurosawa87: well, Eri went gaga for Reina first, right? XD
@Tchips: lol yes, saying this chapter was "special" was sort of a heads up, i guess :lol:
@astro18: no, possessive Reina IS hot, its a fact :inlove:
@mmsuki: why would you think no more TanaKame? :shocked
@oddball: LOL maybe its because I always torture you guys.. :twisted:
@Bamtai: lol actually, I wasn't much of a Sayu fan either but writing about her makes me love her more :D
@eruchan: It's not even much of a visit anymore, it's just breaking and entering XD
@shenlog: yup, that's coming up next! :D
Thank you for all the comments again~ :twothumbs
Just to let you guys know, I say "Arc 1" and "Arc 2" but that's just to differentiate "how they got together" and "epilogue" "What Comes Next". The next chapter will sound just like any other chapter; there's no time skipping yet. :)
And i think most people are worried that I might split them up, but you never know; there are other ways to complicate the storyline. I might split them, i might keep them together and instead give them something else to worry about, other obstacles, blah blah blah (yes i've been brainstorming a lot) XD
So yeah. There won't be much of a change. Think of it as an excuse for me to give you guys another teaser video (which I love making) :wub:
Again, thank you very much for keeping up with me so far, commentators and "thank-you"ers alike! :cow:
-
Late! :O I fell asleep after doing all that homework. :sweatdrop:
Anywayyy!! TanaKame experiment was ha-hawt~!! :mon blood: I knew they were in there somewhere! No way those three(four now?) would leave Reina alone. XD
I love when Kame was trying to placate Reina. :wub: Cute, cute moment! :mon innocent:
Aww~ Sayu's got a family now! :heart:
Yay! I'll be looking forward to the trailer and Arc 2! :twothumbs
-
"epilogue"
No. This implies an ending. Ending the story of happy relationships at their beginning is bad.
How about, instead of this word, you use "what comes next" Unless you plan to make the next Arc one chapter. :lol: Just to humor me. XD
-
aiai i have like so many comments to like give you D: i've been having computer problems ( and i still do atm >.>) but i just wanna say that i'm reading EVERY CHAPPY! and i'm loving it. i got ubber excited with takagaki finally hooking up...but so many questions that cant form right atm and with tanakame pre-scoring time with a full audience made me laugh^^; i cant wait for arc 2 and i'll be cheering you on~! if i cant comment i'll alaways give you a thanks ^^
-
@kano-chan: ooh don't overwork yourself! even though I probably have no right to say that... i fall asleep all the time while doing homework XD
@rndmnwierd: Okay, let's call it "What comes next". just to differentiate "how they got together" and "epilogue" "What Comes Next".
I actually like that better :lol:
@kawaiibeam: HEY~ I missed you!!! genki? XD well, as long as you're reading and are happy, then i'm happy. :D
YES, Everyone, the time as come!!!
Chigatte mo Iin da yo! Arc 2 is officially starting today! :cow: :yossi: :otomerika:
But just to torture you guys a little~ more, I'm only revealing the teaser (MWA-HA-HA) :twisted:
It's short, but i think you can enjoy it enough :D
As usual, make sure the annotations are on because there are subtitles and yes, they are REAL. :P
So without further ado, here it is! :twothumbs

-

-

@badsaints: Is it ever? XD
@Bamtai: lol you can look forward to it, i think... :P
Thank you for the comments/thanks, everyone! I put a lot of effort into the trailer so I'm glad you guys like it! :cow:

Hmm, I knew things were all to happy at the end of the first Arc, seems as though there maybe some conflict ahead!
looking forward to see how things turn out!!!
-

-
TakaGaki is love~~~~ XD waaahhh i was so excited reading chapter 43 nice to read about shige,eri and the gang chillin out and having dinner and everything but i can feel the angst coming just watching the trailer,great job with that i apreciate your hard work :twothumbs:
and about the poll ...well...i think there's not enough tanagaki in this world and i'm all about kameshige but...i don't like Ai with other people that are not gaki i'm so selfish XD just make'me wonder about the possibilities of who would you feel like pairing Ai with if you feel like choosing any of the pairings on the poll ...maybe that didn't make sense...but anyway i'm looking foward to see what happen next :cow:
-
Everyone, I'm sorry to announce that I will be discontinuing this story.
I've completely lost the inspiration and I don't think I'll be writing again.
Even if I start again, it probably won't be for a long time.
I sincerely thank everybody whose supported me so far and I apologize for my incompetence.
scroll down

^Read the above post.
PSYCH. :otomerika: :yossi: :cow: APRIL FOOLS!!! :w00t:
Yeah, that was probably really mean of me. and fail. major fail. XD
But I felt like playing a joke... so yeah, I hope you all enjoyed my fail joke. :lol:
NO, i shall NEVER give up writing. It's part of my life now, and I won't ever be able to leave the keyboard :twothumbs
Now, as apology for the fail april fools joke, here's a long chapter for the long wait! :w00t:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 45
The evening sky was clouded with darkness already, but the streetlamps and bright lights from the chain stores illuminated the sidewalk. There were still people bustling around, although there wasn’t as much as during the day, since it was already dinner time. But the size of the crowd was just enough for the two women, now a couple, to blend in without standing out too much.
There was talking everywhere in the public streets, but the two ladies walking were engulfed in the silence that only they could hear. Risa slowly looked up a little at the beautiful woman walking next to her, who had a satisfied and confident expression on. It almost felt as though their roles had switched; the bean had always been the energetic one, trying to hold her feelings towards her teacher. However, it seemed now that Ai was the more confident one while Risa was being shy. And just as well as Ai may be more confident, now that her shoulders felt light since she completely let all her worries go. She had decided to no longer lie to herself and hurt the one she truly loved and cared about. Yes, the painful secret would continue on, but at least the bean would not be going through it alone anymore. Ai would be there from now on to share that burden with her. And no matter how heavy the burden, they were both determined to be happy as long as they were together.
The teacher blinked and turned her head towards her student. Risa immediately flipped her head the other way as her heart pounded loudly in her chest. Had she been caught staring again? They had decided to be honest towards each other’s feelings now but ironically enough, things seemed even more awkward than before. But perhaps it was just the bean who felt that way…
Suddenly, a warm sensation surrounded the young girl’s hand, holding and caressing it. Risa turned and looked at her hand and followed the arm with her eyes until she met her lover’s warm gaze.
“Isn’t it better this way?” Ai smiled, squeezing the bean’s hand. “It’s a bit more intimate than just walking together, isn’t it?”
“Ah… un…” Risa nodded, looking down as she blushed with joy. She bit down on her bottom lip to prevent herself from grinning too widely. Today just seemed like the most perfect day. Other than the fact that her teacher accepted her feelings, they had shared a kiss, a couple touches, and now a hand-holding. And before that, Ai had offered to walk her home, claiming that it was irresponsible of her as a teacher to send her student off home when it was already so late but also confessing that it was partly an excuse to stay with her just a little longer. There had to be a better word than “perfect” because that word wasn’t enough to describe Risa’s mood at the moment.
“Gaki-san? Did you hear me?”
“Huh?”
“I said,” Ai repeated, chuckling, “which building is your apartment?”
Risa finally looked up to realize that she and her teacher were already at the gate of the apartment complex, away from the crowded streets. So perhaps time wasn’t about to let “perfection” reign forever.
“It’s, um, this way,” the bean mumbled, pulling the older woman to the right. She continued to march down the sidewalk, passing a couple buildings on the way. She wanted to stay pleasant, but couldn’t hide the regret and disappointment at already arriving at her home. Time had been ruthless.
“Hey,” Ai smiled, pulling the bean to a stop and forcing her to make eye contact. “You know today isn’t like any other day. What happened today is going to change us for tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that… and I can promise you that we’ll be together in the future as well. So don’t think that our time is too short, because it’s about to continue for a very long time.”
“You read my mind just like that?” Risa asked, smiling a little.
“Your face is easy to read,” the teacher grinned, “especially since you’re not very well guarded with your emotions today. I could feel pink beams just bursting out of you while we were walking here.”
“I did not have pink beams bursting out of me!” the bean argued, embarrassed.
“Yes, you did,” Ai laughed. “But you don’t need to be shy about it. I had the same aura but I was just better at hiding it.”
“Mou~ Sensei!” Risa whined, puffing up her cheeks.
“There’s the Gaki-san I know,” the teacher winked. “Don’t be so uncomfortable, okay? I want you to be happy when you’re with me… as happy as I am when I’m with you.”
Risa grinned as she returned the smile that her lover was showing her. If she had pink beams bursting out before, now it was bubbly hearts. And she wasn’t all that embarrassed about it this time. However, the bubbles were popped by the sharp voice that echoed down the sidewalk.
“Risa! Is that you?”
The bean looked up as well as her teacher, and turned to the voice. A middle-aged woman was standing there, wearing a blouse and pants. Her long, curly hair was pulled back into a low ponytail while her makeup concealed her old age well. She had similar features to the bean; the same warm brown eyes as well as the round face.
“Mama?” Risa yelled.
“Your mother?” the teacher mumbled.
Risa’s head immediately turned to her hand, being held by her teacher-gone-lover. She subtly let go of the hand and skittered over to her mother’s side. “Mama! Uh… what are you doing, standing out here?”
“Well, I got home from work and you weren’t in your room, so I got worried…” the older Niigaki explained. “Don’t worry Mama like that, Risa!” She pinched her daughter’s cheek as she scolded her gently.
“Ow! Mama, itai yo!” the bean said, pulling away. “Stop that, you’re embarrassing me…”
Only then, did Mama Gaki turn to the teacher who was approaching the mother-daughter pair. “Who is this? Your friend?”
“No, no, no, this is—”
“Please excuse my rudeness, Mrs. Niigaki, I haven’t introduced myself yet,” the teacher said politely, bowing. “I’m Niigaki’s homeroom teacher, Takahashi Ai. Hajimemashite.”
“Ah, domo, hajimemashite, Sensei,” Risa’s mother replied just as politely, also bowing. “We’ve talked on the phone before, haven’t we? When Risa was stuck at your home because of the rain? I never got to thank you for that either, I appreciated you taking care of my daughter very much.”
“The pleasure is all mine, Mrs. Niigaki,” Ai smiled. “Risa always helps me as iinchou; it was the least I could do.”
“I’ve heard a lot about you from my daughter; she enjoys your class very much!” Mama Gaki continued, “And I’m sorry for my mistake; you looked so young that I thought that you were my daughter’s classmate!”
“You are too kind,” Ai laughed softly. “I’m afraid I must apologize for my irresponsibility. I was the one who kept Niigaki this late at school; I’m afraid I’ve taken the meaning of ‘class representative’ too harshly. I’m very sorry for worrying you, Mrs. Niigaki.”
“Oh no, Sensei, it was Risa’s responsibility in the end, since she has a cell phone but hadn’t thought to even leave me a text,” Mama Gaki said, smiling, as she narrowed her eyes at her daughter in a joking manner.
“I was busy, Mama…” the bean mumbled.
“Too busy giving your teacher more trouble, Risa?” the mother grinned.
“Too busy doing chores… and stuff,” the bean mumbled. And too busy kissing…
“She wasn’t trouble at all, Mrs. Niigaki,” Ai smiled pleasantly. “She is always of great help to me. You’ve raised an extraordinary daughter.”
“Maa~ To say such kind things, Sensei…” Mama Gaki gushed, grinning as she slapped her daughter’s back a little harder than she meant it to be. “Arigatou gozaimasu!”
“Mama, shouldn’t we let Sensei be on her way now?” Risa said through her teeth, trying to force a smile. You’re creeping her out!
“Actually, Sensei, why don’t you come in to have dinner with us?” Risa’s mother suggested. “I heard that you just moved to Tokyo; I’m sure you’d like some fine, homemade cooking, yes?”
“Oh no, I couldn’t impose on you like that,” Ai said. It wouldn’t be too good to have a conversation with my girlfriend’s mother so soon…
“Mama, I’m sure Sensei already as plans…” Risa muttered. Please don’t let Mama freak Sensei out, please!
“Nonsense, you must absolutely come in, Sensei!” Mama Gaki insisted. “Come along now, come on!”
Before anybody else could protest more, the older Niigaki took both her daughter’s and the teacher’s wrists and pulled them towards the apartment building. She clicked on the elevator button and the doors slid open right away. As she entered the elevator and flipped around to press the button for the correct floor, Risa and Ai also entered on either side of Mama Gaki, and stood a little bit behind.
The machine started moving and Risa’s mother started to chat on and on about something funny that had happened at work. Her daughter nervously laughed along as she slowly leaned back a little to make eye contact with her teacher on the other side. The teacher noticed this and also did the same.
Sumimasen! the bean thought as she mouthed the words. I’m sorry I got you involved in this…
Daijoubu, Ai mouthed back with a warm smile. Just trust in me.
Although the student was still quite nervous, she did believe that her teacher would be perfectly fine in front of her odd mother. She would definitely be able to keep an act up in front of Mama Gaki while keeping the secret about their newly created relationship.
The elevator made a soft chime sound, indicating that it had arrived at its destination. The three women walked out as the doors opened. The older Niigaki opened the door and invited her guest in with a warm smile.
“Douzo, Sensei!” she said.
“Shitsureshimasu,” Ai said, bowing a little bit. It was quite difficult for Risa to believe that this perfect lady actually used to be a delinquent when she was younger.
“Dinner is already made, so please sit down, Sensei,” Mama Gaki said, grinning, indicating to the kitchen table. “Let me just get another bowl of rice for you. You sit down too, Risa.”
“I see where you get your cute smile from,” Ai whispered under her breath as she sat down, allowing her lover to blush.
“Stop that, Sensei,” the bean mumbled, eyeing her surroundings nervously. “Mama will hear you…”
“Douzo!” Risa’s mother announced, placing a bowl of rice in front of her daughter’s teacher. “Fresh from the rice cooker!”
“Ja, itadakimasu!” Ai said, clapping her hands together.
“Itadakimasu!” Mama Gaki also said, grinning from ear to ear.
“Itadakimasu…” Risa muttered, still not feeling comfortable with the current situation. Her mother was sitting right next to her while her teacher was sitting across the table: that could not be a good sign. Especially when that teacher was her lover now… It was never a good idea to bring your significant other back home on your first day of going out.
“Oishii!” Ai exclaimed after taking a bite out of the beef that Mama Gaki had pushed towards her. “Did you make this, Mrs. Niigaki?”
“Yes I did, I’m glad you like it,” Mama Gaki laughed.
“Uso,” Risa accused, scowling. “I made that and you know it! All you did was put it on the frying pan.”
“It was just a joke, Risa, please, Mama was in a good mood,” the older Niigaki grinned. “She’s right, Sensei. Unfortunately, I’m not a very good cook, unlike my daughter.”
“Well, your daughter is certainly quite skilled,” Ai nodded, “especially with bentos.”
“… How did you know Risa was good at making bento?” Mama Gaki asked, cocking her head to the side.
Risa’s eyes shot open as she bit down on her lips and stared at her teacher. Ai stopped moving her spoon through her rice bowl, realizing her slip-up. Of course, she was very familiar with the bean’s lunch boxes, since she had been given the honor of eating them every day. But she couldn’t very well tell that to the woman sitting in front of her.
“… I’ve seen it before, it was very pretty,” Ai quickly said. “Her friends, like Kamei, tell me that it tastes even better.”
“Ah, you are Eri’s homeroom teacher as well?” Mama Gaki asked, clapping her hands together.
“Mama, we’re in the same class,” the bean muttered, rolling her eyes. “It’s been like that since kindergarten, remember?”
“Ah~ Souda, souda!” the mother said, tapping her head. “Mama forgot. Gomen~!”
“Stop doing that, it’s weird,” Risa mumbled, fidgeting in her seat, “and rude.”
“No, it’s perfectly fine,” Ai smiled. “Dinner has never been more enjoyable for me.”
“Well then, you should come over more often, Takahashi-sensei!” Mama Gaki suggested. “We’ll have dinner together again, since usually it’s just me and my daughter.”
“Or maybe she doesn’t need to come over again,” Risa mumbled, feeling more and more embarrassed by the second.
The bean’s original nervousness about having her secret revealed was no longer her primary concern. The more dominant emotion now was purely shame of her own mother. Yes, she loved her dearly and yes, she appreciated that her mother worked very hard to make a living for both of them, even though she was only a single-parent. She was definitely warm and sincere but sometimes, she just carried it too far and became so immature. Having this side of her mother being revealed in front of her teacher and love made Risa feel as though her perfect iinchou image was crumbling.
“Risa, that’s rude!” Mama Gaki scolded. “You shouldn’t say that to your Sensei!”
“It’s fine, I believe Niigaki is just tired from a long day,” Ai said. “I’m sorry I held you for so after school, Niigaki.”
“It’s okay,” Risa sighed, standing up with her rice bowl. “Gochisousama deshita.”
“You’re already done eating?” her mother asked.
“I’m not very hungry.”
“Well then, will you do Mama a favor?” the older Niigaki requested, looking up at her daughter with big puppy-dog eyes. “Run down to the drug store and please get some more vitamins? Mama ran out~”
“Now?” Risa frowned. “When we have a guest?” There’s no way I’m leaving Mama alone with Sensei…
“Please, please, please?” Mama Gaki whined. “I can keep Sensei entertained. Mama needs it for tomorrow and the store will close soon. Please?”
“But—”
“Please?”
“I just—”
“Please?”
“Can’t you—”
“Please?”
“Fine!” the bean groaned, glaring at her mother. “I’ll do it so… stop being a baby.”
“Arigatou, Risa!” Mama Gaki crooned. “While you’re gone, Sensei and I’ll be gossiping about your grades a little bit, nee?”
“Then I’ll be back quick since that conversation probably won’t last long,” the bean mumbled. She knew her grades were perfect anyway.
As she turned to leave the kitchen and ultimately the home, Risa quickly made eye contact with her teacher, trying to convey her panic and apology. But her lover still seemed perfectly at ease, winking so that the bean’s mother would not notice. Sighing, the student quickly ran out of the apartment, determined to return as fast as she can. Ai turned her attention back to the woman sitting in front of her, smiling pleasantly.
“I would just like to say that your daughter is right, Mrs. Niigaki, this conversation isn’t going to last very long,” Ai grinned. “Your daughter is the next best thing to perfect—”
“Oh, I know that,” Mama Gaki laughed. “That girl really can’t stand being second in anything. Rather, there was something else I wanted to discuss with you.”
“Yes?”
“… I guess I’ll just cut to the chase,” the mother said, turning a bit more serious. “Your relationship with my daughter… isn’t a casual one, is it?”
Ai paused as she blinked once. “I’m not sure what you mean—”
“I mean, you’re not just her teacher.”
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Niigaki, I—”
“I mean, it’s a deep relationship, isn’t it?” Risa’s mother rephrased. “You and my daughter… are going out.”
“… How could that possibly be, Mrs. Niigaki?” Ai said, chuckling a little. “That kind of thing… it couldn’t be allowed, could it?”
“Well, if you two decided it, who could stop it from going on?”
Ai’s smile disappeared as she stared at the woman in front of her. All of a sudden, that immature and playful mother seemed like a responsible and serious parent. Her eyes seemed to scrutinize her and fort the first time, the teacher noticed the wrinkles on the woman’s face. She suddenly seemed a lot older than what she seemed originally.
Realizing that she had already lost, Ai stood up from her chair and bowed deeply towards her lover’s mother.
“Sumimasen deshita!” she said, apologizing. “I have behaved irresponsibly towards your daughter. Please believe me when I say that your daughter had nothing to do with this; I was the one who initiated—”
“How could Risa not have anything to do with this?” Mama Gaki said, laughing a little. “A relationship occurs between two people, Sensei, not one. And please, raise your head and sit down; you have no need to apologize.”
“But I—”
“I am not disappointed towards you, nor towards my daughter,” the woman said calmly. “Please, sit down.”
After a longer pause, Ai straightened her back and sat back down. She dared not look into the older Niigaki’s eyes but she could tell that the woman wasn’t lying when she said she was not disappointed. She seemed perfectly calm. Pleasant, even.
“Please believe me when I say that I really am not angry about this, Sensei,” Mama Gaki started. “I won’t say I’m ecstatic about my daughter going out with someone, but what parent is happy about that? The truth is, I trust my daughter enough that I leave her own decisions to herself.”
“You… are not concerned that I am her teacher?” Ai asked quietly. “And the fact that she’s a minor but I’m an adult?”
“How old are you, Sensei?”
“I’m 23 years old this year.”
“Oh, six years isn’t that bad,” the older woman shrugged. “I’ve seen people who have the same zodiac sign get married. That’s 12 years.”
“It does not disturb you that I’m… also a woman?” Ai asked again, still confused.
“I don’t discriminate people that way, Takahashi-sensei,” the older Niigaki smiled. “I judge people by their heart, not their gender. And I can tell right off the bat that you are a good person, Sensei.”
Good person… That was what Risa had said as well, wasn’t it?
“In a way, I’m glad that you’re much older than my daughter,” the mother sighed, smiling sadly. “You’ve probably figured out by now that Risa is more of an adult than I am. I’m a very immature Mama.”
“You don’t seem very immature right now,” Ai said, smiling a little.
“Well, yes, I suppose it’s because Risa isn’t here,” Mama Gaki answered, chuckling. “You see… my husband passed away when Risa was very young. I had to start working to support the both of us, so Risa was always left alone to figure out life for herself. She grew up far too quickly, Sensei. My one regret in life is that I cannot and will never be able to give my daughter back her childhood. So I suppose I unconsciously slipped into a child-like character, hoping that it may rub off on Risa, but maybe it even had the opposite effect… You seem like a very mature person, Sensei, so perhaps it might be nice for Risa to be babied once in a while.”
“I understand,” Ai nodded. She didn’t say more, but she felt that maybe she was already affecting Risa in a different way. The girl was such an uptight iinchou before, but recently, she had been acting rather girly. The bean was the dominant when she was by herself but when an opposing factor appeared, she quickly backed away. That was her nature. And Ai would be on the other side of that balance from now on, to let Risa be dependent for once.
“I know you’re a responsible person, Sensei, and I trust my daughter with all my heart,” the older Niigaki continued. “Please take good care of my little girl.”
“Thank you for putting your trust in me,” Ai said, bowing her head a little. She smiled comfortingly. “I want you to know that I do sincerely care for your daughter and she is first and foremost in my life right now. I will protect her with all I have.”
“That puts my heart at ease,” Mama Gaki laughed. “Thank you.”
“Tadaima!” the bean announced, kicking off her shoes and sliding into the kitchen. She dropped the plastic bag with the vitamin bottle on the counter and whipped around to the two women at the table. “Did I miss anything?”
“Okaeri,” Mama Gaki grinned, her eyes turning playful and loving again.
“You didn’t miss much,” Ai said, smiling. “But your mother was telling me—”
“—about that time when you were a toddler and ran all around the house with a towel around yourself, naked, yelling, ‘I’m Super Omame’!” Mama Gaki interrupted, smirking.
“Chotto, Mama!” Risa yelled, her face turning bright red. “Don’t say weird things like that to Sensei!”
“Oh, you were so cute back then~” the mother cooed, pinching her daughter’s cheeks. “Chou kawaii~”
“Mama—itai— Stop that!” Risa complained, backing away.
As the teenager rubbed her cheeks and mumbled something about being so embarrassed, the teacher looked at the parent with confused eyes. Mrs. Niigaki put a finger to her lips and winked, asking her to keep silent. Ai supposed that she just didn’t want Risa to know that her mother was aware of their relationship. It probably would make things more uncomfortable for the bean. The mother truly was caring, in her own way.
“Well then, I think I should take my leave now,” Ai said, standing up. “Thank you very much for the warm meal; it was delicious.”
“No problem,” Mama Gaki smiled. “Please stop by again sometime.”
“I’ll do that.”
“No, you won’t,” Risa grumbled, walking towards the front door and opening it. “Mama, I’m going to show Sensei out of the apartment complex; it can get confusing for her.”
“Yes, go do that,” Mrs. Niigaki agreed. “Sensei, it was nice meeting you.”
“The pleasure was all mine,” Ai said, bowing. She and the parent exchanged a knowing glance with each other, communicating each other’s gratitude silently. Then, Ai followed her lover out of the apartment.
“I’m sorry about my mother,” Risa mumbled, clicking the elevator button and entering it. “She was probably really annoying.”
“No, I thought she was a very charming woman,” Ai disagreed, as the elevator doors closed. “We had a very pleasant conversation while you were out.”
“What did she say?” the bean interrogated. “She didn’t find out about us, did she?”
“Nope, not at all,” the teacher grinned. “I told you everything was going to be okay.”
“We should still be pretty careful,” Risa sighed. “Mama really likes to dig into secrets and stuff.”
“I think we’ll be fine,” Ai laughed. “You’re mother is a very kind person. You’re lucky to have her.”
“I know that,” Risa answered, shrugging. “She’s really childish but… I guess we’re pretty close.”
“It’s a good thing, Gaki-san,” Ai lectured. “You should definitely keep it that way.”
“I don’t plan to change it,” Risa said nonchalantly.
In no time, the elevator reached the first floor again and the two lovers walked out into the night street, illuminated with lamps. Risa walked her teacher all the way to the main gate of the apartment complex, so that Ai could easily find the way back to the main town area.
“Well then, I’ll see you tomorrow,” Ai said, waving a little.
“Mm-hm.”
The teacher turned to leave as Risa bit down on her lips. Without thinking twice, she grabbed the older woman’s sleeve, stopping her in her motion.
“Ano!” the bean yelled, looking down to hide her face.
“Yes?” Ai asked, turning back. “What is it?”
“Um… I just thought that… well…” Risa hesitated. “We… we’re going out… right?”
“That’s right,” Ai chuckled.
“And… uh… we’re going to be honest with each other now… right?”
“I suppose so.”
“Then can I ask for…!” Risa stopped, feeling very nervous and embarrassed. “Um… the thing… uh… from back at the classroom… uh…”
“… I’m sorry, Gaki-san, I’m not really catching on…” Ai said apologetically.
“N-nevermind!” Risa said, shaking her head and letting go of her teacher’s sleeve. “I’ll see you tomorrow!”
With that, the bean quickly turned around to go back to her apartment. But Ai grinned, as she pulled her lover back by her sleeve this time. As twirled back into her arms, the teacher pressed her lips gently against her lover’s, catching her off guard. She traced the edges of Risa’s lips with her tongue a little before backing away with a smile. Her younger girlfriend, of course, had her eyes wide as ever with cheeks dyed rose red.
“You know, all you had to do was ask,” Ai whispered, chuckling. “It’s not that hard to do.”
“Y-yeah…” the short-haired girl mumbled, smiling shyly. “I guess so…”
This is what it should be like, the older woman thought. This is what a normal 17-year-old girl is supposed to be like… I want her to be able to depend on me more now. Please don’t rush to grow up, Gaki-san…
As she secretly made her wish, Ai pressed her lips against Risa’s forehead, as though it was to give her good luck. The bean looked up at her teacher with a huge smile, still not fully believing that so much happiness could be carried within a single day.
Please, if there is a god, Risa prayed silently, please don’t let these happy days end…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And so, Arc 2 has officially kicked off! :otomerika:
The next chapter is a bit of SayuJun, which won't be too long, but I'll try to make it good (or just update faster) :nervous
:byebye: :sleep:
-
:imdead: YOU SCARED ME!!!
Dibs! XD :P
EDIT: The teacher blinked and turned her head towards her student. Risa immediately flipped her head the other way as her heart pounded loudly in her chest.
Daww~! So cute Shy!Risa.
If she had pink beams bursting out before, now it was bubbly hearts. And she wasn’t all that embarrassed about it this time. However, the bubbles were popped by the sharp voice that echoed down the sidewalk.
This is a good mental image. XD
“Actually, Sensei, why don’t you come in to have dinner with us?” Risa’s mother suggested.
This is going to be good. :lol:
“… How did you know Risa was good at making bento?” Mama Gaki asked, cocking her head to the side.
Uh-oh! :O
“… I’ve seen it before, it was very pretty,” Ai quickly said. “Her friends, like Kamei, tell me that it tastes even better.”
“Ah, you are Eri’s homeroom teacher as well?” Mama Gaki asked, clapping her hands together.
Safe?
“… I guess I’ll just cut to the chase,” the mother said, turning a bit more serious. “Your relationship with my daughter… isn’t a casual one, is it?”
:shocked
She suddenly seemed a lot older than what she seemed originally.
:lol: Damn, she's not that old, is she?
“Please take good care of my little girl.”
She approves!! :w00t:
“You didn’t miss much,” Ai said, smiling. “But your mother was telling me—”
“—about that time when you were a toddler and ran all around the house with a towel around yourself, naked, yelling, ‘I’m Super Omame’!” Mama Gaki interrupted, smirking.
And apparently she wants to keep it just between them. Also, ZOMG CUTE! >.<
“Then can I ask for…!” Risa stopped, feeling very nervous and embarrassed. “Um… the thing… uh… from back at the classroom… uh…”
That is so adorable to imagine. :lol:
“… I’m sorry, Gaki-san, I’m not really catching on…” Ai said apologetically.
XD Meanie!
This is what it should be like, the older woman thought. This is what a normal 17-year-old girl is supposed to be like… I want her to be able to depend on me more now. Please don’t rush to grow up, Gaki-san…
...Foreshadowing?
Please, if there is a god, Risa prayed silently, please don’t let these happy days end…
:panic: There is no god! Stop with the evil foreshadowing!! :panic: :lol: :lol:
The next chapter is a bit of SayuJun, which won't be too long, but I'll try to make it good (or just update faster)
Yeah, that. Faster. XD

I totally fell for your joke! It is currently 4/2 here at where I live, and I had completely forgotten that yesterday was April Fools since it passed already. :( I was seriously contemplating on whether to scream at you or not (:lol:) since there are so many writers out there that just abandon their fanfics.
Awesome chapter as usual~ I'm so happy that Mama Gaki is able to accept TakaGaki's relationship. However, I am afraid that a good start only means loads of trouble following soon. Please update more~
-
Since I saw this today (April 2nd), I flipped a sh*t :dizzy: XD
My reaction was pretty much: "*Reads first post* :grr: :gyaaah:... *Looks down at next post*... :scolding: OH YOU SON OF A- I TOTALLY SHOULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING." No one pranked me at school, so I kind of forgot about April Fools XDD; you scared me thar :sweat:... Don't do it again~

It's not my best writing, but i think it gets the point across... so yeah :nervous
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 46
Sayumi gasped in the darkness as she tilted her head to give her girlfriend more room. She felt one of her lover’s hands stroking her hair while the other wandered around her body, touching her chest to her waist to her stomach to her back. A low moan sounded from the dominant girl, as she licked and kissed the bunny’s neck to mark her territory. She backed away a little to look at the result of her handywork and smirked, satisfied. She then slowly made her way towards the middle of Sayumi’s chest as she started to unbutton the shirt.
“Wait, Junjun!” the bunny gasped. “N-not here… We’re still in school!”
“Eh~ does this mean you’re backing out on our deal?” the panda teased. “I thought I had permission to kiss you elsewhere beside your lips if you couldn’t hold your breath long enough.”
“Y-yeah, but…” Before she could continue, Sayumi’s words turned into a soft moan as her girlfriend started to gently kiss the area between her breasts
“If you really didn’t want me to,” Junjun murmured, “all you had to do was win. You can still breathe while we kiss, you know.”
“It’s… not… that easy…” Sayumi said, breathless.
“Here, why don’t you try again,” Junjun offered, chuckling.
Soon, the bunny felt a pair of lips pressing against her own, and her mouth being infiltrated by a familiar tongue. She couldn’t stop her moans in her throat as her skilled lover reached into her shirt to stroke her smooth back. She didn’t want to admit it, but the thought of making out like this in a small closet while still at school kind of excited Sayumi. Not to mention that Junjun was just very experienced in this area, making it difficult for Sayumi to refuse her advances.
Unconciously, the bunny wrapped her arms tighter around the panda’s neck, reluctant to let go. Junjun took this as a good sign, and proceded to hitch her girlfriend’s leg up to her waist, caressing her smooth thighs. Sayumi mumbled her name into their kiss, allowing the yankii to decide that it was safe to reach further up the bunny’s skirt. But before she could get to the ultimate destination, the sound of the school bell resonated.
“Not again…!” Junjun groaned, dropping her head onto Sayumi’s shoulder. “Break time between classes is way too short!”
“I-I think it’s just the right amount,” Sayumi said quickly, pushing her lover back a little. “We’re still in school, Junjun…”
“Yeah, yeah, I know,” the panda muttered. “Come on, I’ll walk you to class.”
“Okay, just, let me…”
Sayumi proceded to pull down her skirt and fix her hair. Then, she reached for the buttons on her shirt but her fingers were too weak from the previous action that she continued to fumble with it. Her girlfriend laughed to herself as she offered a helping hand.
“Here, let me,” she said. Swiftly, and much more efficiently, the yankii leader buttoned up her girlfriend’s shirt. Sayumi blushed and nodded in thanks as she tucked in her shirt as well.
Junjun opened the door to the hallway and walked out into the bright light. There were students busily walking around, trying to get back to their classrooms, so the couple blended in right away with the crowd. A couple of girls were running down the hallway to quickly get to their classes, and started to bump into Sayumi (and only Sayumi, of course, since no one dared to bump into Junjun, the queen). The bunny cringed, trying to make her shoulders as narrow as possible. Intrigued by her girlfriend’s cute reaction, the yankii leader grinned as she wrapped an arm around Sayumi, pulling her closer. The shy girl blushed and nodded again in gratitude silently.
“You’re welcome,” Junjun chuckled, confident in her abilities to read the bunny’s mind now.
Soon, the couple reached the destination where they would part for another period before meeting up for lunch. Sayumi looked at Junjun before going into her classroom.
“You should go too, quickly,” the bunny said. “Classes are starting.”
“It’s not a big deal if I’m a little late,” the yankii shrugged.
“You better not be ditching,” Sayumi said threateningly, scowling. “Remember what I told you before?”
“Yeah, yeah, be more classy, I know,” the panda recited, rolling her eyes. “Well, I’m can’t fix up my actual personality, Usa-chan, but I’ll at least go to class regularly now. It’s the least I could do.”
“Arigatou,” the black-haired girl mumbled. “Okay, go now. And hurry!”
“I will,” Junjun grinned, leaning into plant a kiss on her girlfriend’s cheek. “I’ll see you later.”
As the yankii leader turned to leave, her lover also did the same and walked into the classroom. But before Junjun could even put a decent amount of steps between her and the classroom, somebody grabbed her arms from behind. The panda immediately looked around to discover who the person was, as she realized it was actually two somebodies.
“Mittsi? Linlin?” the panda asked, looking at the two girls who had grabbed her arms and pulled her back. “What’s going on? I thought you guys already went back to class.”
“We thought that you should know something right away,” Aika explained. “Apparantly, things aren’t as peaceful as we judged it to be.”
“What do you mean?” Junjun questioned, turning serious.
“See for yourself, senpai,” Linlin sighed, gesturing back to the door of Sayumi’s classroom.
The tall girl marched back to the closed door and peeked through the small window. Her eyes automatically went to her girlfriend’s desk, where she was seated with her body hunched over. The sight wasn’t exactly what Junjun had expected to see: Sayumi was staring down at her desk with a frightened expression, frozen still. There were black scribbles all over the bunny’s desk, which the panda couldn’t quite make out from so far away. But she could tell that it wasn’t a kind message.
A group of girls walked up to Sayumi, snickering to themselves. They said something to the black-haired girl and started laughing hysterically. Sayumi bit down on her lips before she flipped her head up with a smug smile of her own. She replied back with a certain attitude that she had when she was acting like a high and might rich girl, and the other girls fumed with anger. One of the girls raised their hands and slapped Sayumi across the face.
“That bitch!” Junjun hissed. But before she could burst through the classroom, she felt her two lackies grabbing her arms again to stop her.
“Don’t, senpai, stay out of it for now!” Aika advised. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to drop in now.”
“What the hell are you saying?” the leader growled. “Didn’t you just see what happened? That bitch dared to hit Sayu!”
“But if you interrupt now, the bullying is only going to get worse!” Linlin yelled, allowing the older panda to freeze.
Bullying. Sayumi was being bullied. And the chances were that it was getting worse day by day with every kiss that Junjun gave her, and every reflexive insult that the bunny shot back at them unconsciously. And worst of all, Junjun hadn’t known this all along, despite being the “queen”. She had figured that everything was peaceful now, but Sayumi hadn’t told her that she was still being bullied.
“Shige-san probably doesn’t even think of this as bullying, senpai,” Aika explained, seeming to read her leader’s mind. “Because this had been going ever since she came here anyway. The bigger problem is that she’s still very antisocial.”
“We’ve kept our eyes on Shige-san like you asked us to,” Linlin continued, “and the most notable thing we discovered was that Shige-san just doesn’t know how to make friends. When you’re not there, all she can do is blurt out rude things.”
“So that’s the problem?” Junjun asked in disbelief. “Usa-chan is just too antisocial?”
“Basically, yeah,” Aika nodded. “She’s pretty hated by the student body at this point.”
“And you’re saying I can’t just warn everybody not to touch Sayumi anymore, because it’s going to make things worse?”
“Exactly,” Linlin nodded. “But don’t worry, we have another plan!”
“Rather than us inforcing Shige-san’s reputation through our popularity,” Aika explained, “I think it’s better if we have Shige-san climb up that ladder herself. We need to help her become more social with the other students, and gain popularity through her own means.”
“Easier said than done…” Junjun muttered.
“Well, it’s the best plan we’ve got,” Linlin shrugged. “Unless you have a better idea?”
“… Not really,” the panda admitted, sighing. “Are you guys sure we can do this?”
“Sure we can!” Aika said energetically. “It’s an Usa-chan Revolution! We’ll instruct her on how to be social and how to make friends. That way, she won’t have to be bullied anymore.”
“Okay, it seems like I have no choice,” Junjun said, tightening her fist. “Let’s do this.” Just wait a little longer, Sayu… I’ll definitely protect you, even if it’s the last thing I do!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And that's the setup for ShigeJun in Arc 2~ XD
Next up is back to our main couple: TanaKame! :twothumbs
things will start to change for them too, so look out for it! :thumbsup
And in case you guys haven't noticed, I changed the poll again, just for fun. It's random but I was honestly curious about it, so I made this new poll about ShigeJun. The question came forth because a lot of people have been saying that they've never read much ShigeJun before but they can actually see it now. So I got curious. XD
*btw, the other poll ended up with: TanaShige, KameShige, TanaGaki, GakiKame, TanaJun, Reika* Like it said, it was a survey so i'm not necessarily promising these couples as leads. we'll see how things go :thumbsup
please vote! :twothumbs
:byebye: :sleep:
-
yes i never read ShigeJun before :huhuh ...was strange the first time but :? :doh: ...now i think...is really awesome :shocked :wub:... unique :w00t: ...and hot :drool:
and this only happen with your fanfics... for this reason i love you! :heart: :oops:
-
I was never really a shigejun fan.. but the way you write them is kinda hard not to ship :nervous
Steamy closet scene :on_hot: At school too! Naughty.. :roll:
Ah poor sayu.. Are they gonna tutor her in social skills? :lol:
Can't wait for tanakame!! I wonder what new developments await :hee:
-
“I thought I had permission to kiss you elsewhere beside your lips if you couldn’t hold your breath long enough.”
ooooohhhhhh.. they're still playing that game.. :kekeke:
...the sound of the school bell resonated.
“Not again…!”
i thought i destroyed that annoying bell already?? :on voodoo: 'oh wait.. that was on GakiKame's school.. so there are two bells to destroy.. :thumbdown:
on it.. :mon headbang:
soooo.. Sayu is still having problems with her bullies.. :smhid looking forward to the Usa-chan Revolution!!
arghhhhhh.. can't wait for the TanaKame arch2.. :panic:
-
Great update once again~ I really like how SayuJun is turning out and the fact that Sayumi has to learn on her own to become more social and popular so that she can be accepted. Hopefully she will be able to overcome this obstacle and be accepted by the entire student body as "the queen's" princess. :wub:
As for the poll, I voted for the first one. I'm actually a combination of "I've never imagined them before, they're not my favorite couple but I find them cute, and now I can totally see them as a couple." XD
Please update soon~~~ :panic:
-
lol....I don't just become a fan of any couple. At least one of my favorites have to be there. XD I'm not a FAN of ShigeJun, but I do like them together. It's cute. Although, it's still kinda awkward for me when they're making out. That's just my problem. Your writing made me like the pair so it's all coool. :twothumbs
Wow...In the closet? Barely any oxygen! :lol: How can expert Jun expect the noob Sayu to keep up? :on cigar: But I gotta say; Jun got the best deal out of the game! :lol:
Omg, if I was in front of THAT(Buliied Sayu) scene, I would slap that BiOtch right up! :angry: Yikes(being bullied everyday). :bleed eyes:
And since you said "STUFF" were going to happen with these couples, I thought Jun was going to ignore Sayu again so she won't get in trouble with other girls. She didn't, yet...so that's a breather. :mon exhaust:
I can't wait to see how "DIFFERENT" things are going to be with TanaKamei. :grin: :( :grin: :( :panic:
-
I like you're fiction too much that I check it everyday.... And when there's something new I read it right away, looking forward for more of you're fics, More Power!
-
I had no time to comment = /
but when I saw you posted sayujun
I went mad and I'm commenting now hahaha
I loved :shy2:
More More More :tantrum:
thank you :D
-
OMG!
Dirty little secrets ammmm AT SHOOL! *Q*
When I start reading I thought "WTH! This shouldn't be here!!.. What's the H!P Perv Fanfics for?!?!"
And then I just continue reading and let my mind slow down my conclusions XD
And there was just "That was HOT"
Don't like a bullied Bunny (should be Ilegal)...
I must admit I'm amazed by the fact that she might learn new vocabulary.. for example.. to compliment someone XD
Wow it's 2:22 a.m X_X I should go back to sleep and don't go to work ¬¬ I'm really thinking of it right now =_=
Well a little nap don't kill no one =)
-
Ahh, shigejun love :luvluv1: in a closet! :imdead:
Seems as though Sayu's still getting bullied though because she's anti-social, it's even got worse because she's not dating Jun :doh:, Well, at least Aika and Lin have spotted the problem and have come up with some sort of plan to get her to make herself more popular......
I wonder though, will it perhaps make Sayu move away from Jun, as jun leaves her alone so she can grow on her own,,,,,,
-
Wow!!! Junjun and Sayu are just so HOT!! :drool: And I like this softer and affectionate side of Junjun, it's so cute! :wub:
Aww, Aika and Linlin are being so good kids :heart: You couldn't give them little bit more screen time, coul you??? :P
You're kind of making me addicted to this fic :lol: Can't wait for more!! :cow:
-
Have I read SayuJun? I'm sure I have, though it is a pretty rare pairing. I know I've thought about it though.
Oh noes! Sayu's being bullied! Still. I've always kind of thought that the best way to end bullying was to crack a chair over the bully's head, but I guess she couldn't do that to most of the school's population. XD So, social lessons? That's going to be interesting.
-
Well, first of all, i love Gaki Mama :heart:
and second of all, poor Sayu... :pleeease: but i can actually kinda see that happening in reality LOL
-
Sayu being bullied :(
guess everyone gets jealous when you're dating a popular senpai... Sayu being anti-social just makes it worse :doh:
so, how will Aika and LinLin helps Sayu learn how to make friends? looking forward to the Usa-chan Revolution XD
-
@gab98: yay! glad i converted you XD
@astro18: lol yeah, basically, "How to live life 101" :lol:
@mmsuki: LOL you know, i'm always going to find a way to bring the bell back... :twisted:
@sapphire: lol~ sorry, i missed that combo XD
@kano-chan: I think at this point, Junjun is WAY too obsessed with the bunny to stay away... she's more like "I'll protect you so it's fine" type now... :lol:
@black_inu09: NEW PERSON :otomerika: :yossi: :cow: awesome! I'm glad you like my fic~~ thank you! :D
@Airidoki: LOL glad you were able to make a post, even while having no time~ thank you~ :lol:
@Haruka: psht~ that wasn't even close to a ShigeJun perv... :twisted:
@oddball: we'll see how things go~ I'm actually not exactly sure how i'm working them out, but i'm brainstorming :P
@Bamtai: I'm actually planning something special for AikaLin soon. not exactly sure what it is, but i'm planning! XD
@rndmnwierd: LOL chances are, Junjun was about to crack a chair on that girl's head after she slapped sayu... :lol:
@taylortot: GakiMama rocks! I love her too. XD
@eruchan: Actually, i'm not sure yet either but i'm thinking.. :D
Thank you everyone, for the long comments! I appreciate them very much!! :cow:
And I appreciate all the votes as well, it's kind of interesting to know how many people I've managed to convince and stuff like that :D
I may not be able to update this weekend because I'm traveling somewhere, but I'll do my best to get something done! :thumbsup
-
I have to fight with my laptop (again) :angry:

Wait for what do the little panda and puppy do for help their senpai's girl :w00t:
p.s. April, 11th...I will turn to 20...I don't want to be mature!!! :bleed eyes:
-
Oh man, I finally caught up with all the chapters I've missed so far.
Your pairing resolutions were fantastic. Despite the "no bunny/turtle? :cry: feel's weird" comments, I thought every pairing and character was done very well- it didn't feel forced at all. Your depiction of the hachikies has kick-started me into loving them more than just 'the new kids in MM'. You know very well how I feel about your badass Aika and Linlin's limitless 'magic pocket'.
What a wonderfully long and strange journey you've brought all your readers through. Thank you for writing this.
It's pretty awesome to know that despite the tentative happily ever after, we can trust you to wring some drama out of it. I await Arc 2 with much anticipation. :heart:
-
woohoooo finally I caught up with you
PS awsome fic keep up with it pleas
-
Author-san, thanks so much for this fan fiction. I read it in one day and want more!
P.S.: Can't wait for tanakame!)

@Shiawase_Honoo: waa~ happy late birthday! Sorry I didn't say it on the day of... :sweatdrop: XD
@gracula: aww~ that's so sweet of you, thanks for the compliments! I appreciate them very much! :D
@Kikk4r: NEW PERSON :otomerika: :yossi: :cow: thanks for reading! glad you caught up! :lol:
@nighell: NEW PERSON AGAIN :otomerika: :yossi: :cow: woah, one day? that's pretty impressive! thanx for reading! XD
Okay! I was going to go to bed today but I felt like writing so I did :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 47
“Okay, it’s your turn, Eri.”
“Eto… your hair.”
“You already said that one.”
Reina laughed as she watched her girlfriend pout through the mirror. The turtle was slowly pulling a brush through the kitten’s long, straight hair, appreciating its softness. Eri had come over to sleep over at her lover’s home, and she had decided to braid Reina’s hair. The petit girl sat in front of the mirror of her make-up stand as she let herself relax. During this time, the couple had decided to play a game where they would take turns and say one aspect of each other that they like.
“I can’t help it,” the turtle complained. “Your hair is right in front of me, and it’s all I’m touching right now, so I just keep on complimenting it.”
“You know, the rest of me is in front of you, too,” Reina grinned through the mirror, winking at her girlfriend. “Say something else.”
“Eto… your eyes.”
The ex-yankii turned around and looked up at the short-haired girl, raising an eyebrow.
“My eyes?” she inquired. “Really?”
“Really.”
“Why?”
“Well, why not?”
“I don’t know. I’m not particularly a fan of my eyes,” the kitten shrugged, turning to face the mirror again. “People tell me that they always make me look mad.”
“Well, I guess it’s not really your eyes that I like,” Eri explained, concentrating on the braiding. “More like… the way you look at me? When you look at me, I automatically smile. I feel like I can see my whole life in your eyes: past, present, and future. All I need is to be able to look into your eyes and I feel like I won’t need anything else.”
“Eri…” Reina mumbled, looking at her girlfriend through the mirror. Her cheeks were blushed with pink as she smiled a little.
“That’s it,” Eri chuckled. “Those eyes. That’s what I like about you.” She leaned in and kissed her girlfriend’s cheek.
“You’re such a smooth-talker,” Reina grinned. “Is it my turn now?”
“Yup. Go ahead.”
“… Your hair.”
“You said that.”
“No, you said it,” Reina laughed. “I never said your hair. And now I’m saying I like it.”
“Oh…” Eri mumbled, confusing herself now. “But why do you like my hair? It’s a really awkward length right now; I’m going to cut it again.” Indeed, the turtle’s hair was longer than when the couple had first met; it didn’t make her look so much like a boy anymore, since the ends were touching the shoulder now.
“Why? I think it looks fine,” the kitten said. “You like it short?”
“No… I just thought that… you might like it better when it’s short…” Eri mumbled. “I mean, I’m going to look even less like a boy when it’s longer, you know. I just thought… maybe it’s better to keep it short for a little longer… for us, you know?”
“No, I want you to grow it out, Eri,” Reina smiled. “I want to see you as you, not as the misconception I had before. I want you to do what you want to do. Besides, I’ve told a you a million times that I don’t care about gender anymore, didn’t I?”
“Yeah, but…”
“No ‘buts’!” the ex-yankii ordered. “If you want to grow it out, you’re going to grow it out. Besides, I’m kind of curious now…”
Reina grined as she admitted her secret desire. Eri slowly started to smile as well, pleased by how well this relationship was developing. They were so incredibly comfortable with each other now, and every moment almost felt unreal to the turtle. It was hard to believe that just a couple weeks ago, they hadn’t been even speaking to each other.
“All done!” Eri announced, tying Reina’s hair with the last scrunchy to keep the braids in place. “You look cute!”
“Well, this is something new,” the kitten commented. In place of her long, thick hair was now two sets of braids, traveling down her shoulders. “I’ve never tried this kind of hair style before… it’s kind of awkward.”
“You look fine,” Eri grinned. “I think they’re sweet.”
“If you say so,” Reina chuckled. “Okay, then! I want to change into my pajamas. Do you need to borrow some clothes?”
“I’ll take a t-shirt,” the turtle said.
Reina walked over to her closet and opened the sliding doors. She dug through the shelves of clothes on the side walls and tossed a white t-shirt at her girlfriend. Eri caught it and turned her back to her girlfriend to start changing. She stripped out of her sweater and jeans and put the shirt on over only her underwear. When Eri slowly turned around, her girlfriend was still in the middle of changing. Her skirt was already on the floor as Reina stood in front of her closet, pulling her shirt over her head. Her perfect skin and bodyline was revealed as well as her pink undergarmetns and thin legs. Smiling a little, Eri walked over to her girlfriend quietly, as the kitten reached for a tanktop on one of the shelves. Before Reina could start putting her clothes back on, Eri hugged her from behind, allowing her to gasp.
“What are you thinking, stripping in front of me like this?” Eri whispered in her ear. “Are you trying to seduce me?”
“You did it too,” Reina muttered. “At least I was civil enough to leave you be when you were changing.”
“Yeah, but we can’t all be little-miss-civilized like you, Reina,” Eri laughed softly, nibbling at her girlfriend’s ear. Reina moaned quietly, clutching the tank-top that she still hadn’t worn to her chest. “Nee, it’s my turn right? To say something about you…”
“We’re still playing that?” Reina breathed, leaning back into her lover.
“I am,” the turtle smirked. “I like your skin, because they’re so smooth and kissable… sweet like candy and only I can have it.”
Eri licked Reina’s bare neck, illiciting a louder gasp. Her lips traced down the curves of her shoulder and back to her bra strap. Eri’s tongue lingered at the kitten’s smooth back for a little while before returning to her ears, all the while with Reina sighing and moaning in pleasure.
“Take responsibility, Reina,” Eri murmured. “You’re the one who got me excited with the stripping and all; it’s your fault.”
“Then I guess I’ll play the game again, too.”
With that, Reina whipped around and pushed her girlfriend all the way back until she tripped and fell on the bed. The kitten climbed on top of her with a sly smile, straddling the turtle’s waist. Reina leaned into kiss her lover, and Eri quickly obliged. They entwined their tongues together and enjoyed the taste of each other to the fullest before the ex-yankii started to trail the kisses down Eri’s neck. The turtle moaned as she felt her girlfriend reach up her shirt and stroke her stomach. Then, she felt her t-shirt being completely flipped up, exposing her chest to the cool air.
“I thought you were joining the game, not ending it,” Eri murmured softly.
“I am,” Reina smiled. “And here’s what I like about you…”
The kitten leaned in and placed a kiss upon her lover’s left breast. Then, she took Eri’s wrist and kissed her pulse point there as well. She looked up at the confused Eri, and grinned.
“I like your heart,” Reina declared. “This heart that beats faster and faster when I get closer… This heart that gives my love life… this heart that belongs to me and that I belong to… I love you, Eri.”
“… Who are you and what have you done to Reina?” Eri asked, raising an eyebrow. “There is no way my girlfriend can be this sweet and poetic.”
“I have my moments,” Reina snapped, pouting. The turtle laughed at her lover’s cute face.
“I know, I’m kidding,” she managed to chuckle out. “So, is it my turn then?”
Before Reina could even nod, Eri turned the tables on her, rolling over on the bed. Now, she was the one on top of the helpless kitten. Eri immediately went to work and started to fiercely make out with the petit girl, illiciting moans and soft sucking noises in the process. Both of the girls let their hands wander on each other’s bodies, taking in every curve. Eri reached over to Reina’s hair and released the braids she had made earlier; Reina’s hair was now in beautiful curls, which Eri tangled her fingers in.
Suddenly, the echo of the door bell rang throughout the house. The couple decided to ignore the presence at the front door and continue on with their current activities, hoping that whoever it was would go away soon. However, the door bell ceased to stop as the ringing persisted on.
“Don’t pay any attention,” Reina mumbled into their kiss.
“I didn’t plan to,” Eri replied back, breathing hotly on her lover’s lips.
For the next couple seconds, silence returned to the room. But not too long after, the door bell started up again, ringing over and over, as though someone was pressing the bell repeatedly like a machine gun. Eri backed away a little, cutting off the kiss, and raised an eyebrow. Reina let out a whine, frustrated with the lack of contact.
“Maybe you should go out and see who it is,” Eri said slowly, with the door bell continuing in the background. “It seems urgent.”
“Who could possibly come to my house at this hour?” Reina grumbled, starting to get pissed off with every ring. “It’s already 10 o’clock, damn it.”
“Here, just go check and come back,” Eri smiled, sitting up on the bed. “We can continue after this.”
“I hate intermissions,” the ex-yankii muttered, rolling off the bed and grabbing a shirt and sweatpants. She quickly put them on and half-jogged out of the bedroom.
Eri stretched as she fell back onto the pillows. She soon realized the door bell stopped, thinking that Reina had probably gotten to the door and was giving the unknown visitor a piece of her mind. Suddenly, the turtle started to get curious about who was at the door as well. So she skipped off the bed and went to the window. She pushed the blinds down a little to peek through the small space and gasped as what she saw shocked her.
There was a limousine in front of Reina’s house, a long black one that the turtle had only seen in dramas. The expensive car seemed very out of place at a peaceful, modest neighborhood like Reina’s, and the two men dressed in black suits standing at the front and back were even more foreign. There was a slightly older man talking to the turtle’s girlfriend; he was wearing glasses that hung on his nose and a black suit just like the men standing by the car. He seemed to be around his 40s, and was acting very politely towards the ex-yankii; he continuously nodded his head or bent his waist at a 45 degree angle. Eri couldn’t see Reina’s face but she could see the man giving her something.
Eager to know exactly what was going on, Eri walked out of the bedroom and down the stairs. As the turtle reached the first floor, she could see Reina’s back towards her as well as a closer look at the man’s face. He seemed very tired but still very alert and prim.
“Why now?” the kitten was asking. “What is the reason for this, Kaneda?” Her voice was slightly trembling, almost terrified.
“Like I’ve said before, Reina Ojou-sama,” the man answered, bowing again at a perfect 45 degrees angle, “I do not know Shachou’s intentions. I was only told to deliver this letter, that’s all.”
“Reina…?” Eri quietly called.
The kitten whipped around to spot her lover standing on the first step of the stairs, staring at her. Shock was obvious on Reina’s face, as her eyes were wide open and her mouth agape. Her complexion seemed even paler, allowing Eri to wonder what exactly had happened.
“Eri, you could’ve just waited for me upstairs…” Reina mumbled, breathing heavily.
“It seems like you had a visitor,” the man stated. “I apologize for intruding at such late hour. I shall excuse myself now.”
“Y-yes… Thank you, Kaneda,” Reina stuttered.
The man bowed once more towards the kitten and gave a nod towards the turtle. He then turned around and got back into the limousine. The two men standing at the front and back also got into the driver’s seat as well as the pasenger’s seat. Then, the car sped away into the darkness.
Reina shut the door and locked it. When she turned around to face her girlfriend, Eri noticed the item that the kitten had received from the man; it was a white envelope, a letter.
“L-let’s go back upstairs,” Reina mumbled, quickly passing by her lover and skipping up to the second floor.
“Hey, before that, you gonna tell me what’s up?” Eri interrupted, grabbing the petit girl’s wrist and pulling her back. “Who was that man?”
“Nobody,” Reina answered a little too fast. “He’s nobody. Let’s go back up.”
“It didn’t seem like he was nobody,” Eri inquired further. “It seemed like you knew him quite well, actually, calling him without any honorifics…”
“I SAID HE WAS NOBODY!” Reina yelled, taking Eri by surprise at the sudden increase in voice volume. The kitten sighed as she shook her head a little. “Look, I’m tired now. Let’s just go to bed, please?”
“… Okay,” the turtle nodded.
Without hesitation, Reina continued up the stairs at a fast pace. Eri watched her girlfriend’s back, slumped and looking wearier now.
That’s the first time she yelled at me like that ever since I got discovered by her, Eri thought worriedly. There’s definitely something up now… with that man, and that letter she’s holding. But what…?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And TanaKame Arc 2 officially starts~ :P
next up is TakaGaki~ :D
:byebye: :sleep:

:grin:

“Eto… your hair.”
“You already said that one.”
Lol, aho brains.
Then it got steamy. :drool:
Suddenly, the echo of the door bell rang throughout the house.
:doh:
The kitten whipped around to spot her lover standing on the first step of the stairs, staring at her. Shock was obvious on Reina’s face, as her eyes were wide open and her mouth agape. Her complexion seemed even paler, allowing Eri to wonder what exactly had happened.
Uh oh, not good.
“I SAID HE WAS NOBODY!” Reina yelled, taking Eri by surprise at the sudden increase in voice volume.
:shocked Kowaii~
And TanaKame Arc 2 officially starts~ :P
next up is TakaGaki~
Yay!
Wait a minute...
But not too long after, the door bell started up again, ringing over and over, as though someone was pressing the bell repeatedly like a machine gun.
There was a slightly older man talking to the turtle’s girlfriend; he was wearing glasses that hung on his nose and a black suit just like the men standing by the car. He seemed to be around his 40s, and was acting very politely towards the ex-yankii; he continuously nodded his head or bent his waist at a 45 degree angle.
This guy was ringing the doorbell like a kid? :lol: :lol:
-
*melt* I'm not the sweet one, but this game makes me melt! :wub:
Anyway, with the kitten and turtle's situation. It will be the great wall in front of them :panic:
Wait for the next chap with DOKI DOKI heart likes always :inlove:
P.S. Thanks, SarangAi :)

letter from Reina's daddy?? :? and it's urgent?! most likely not a good news for Reina...
the white envelope... maybe an omiai?? it's common among rich families after all...
the guy might be his assistant/secretary or even butler? since Reina is an ojou-sama :nervous
-
i love. LOVE- how they are trading compliments like a game. "It's your turn." :lol: that made me crack up.
and the foreshadowing for Reina drama... looking forward to it. Can i speculate by saying that my favorite kind of ojousama isn't quite the rich princess-types but the crimelord ones?
We need to see Aika cutting some faces off!
-
:shocked I'M SO CURIOUS NOW!!! I want to know what happens next!!!! :banghead: Whats going on??? :panic:
That game though~ :luvluv1: :wriggly: And then.. :on_hot: :sweat: But then the interruption.. which leads me to the beginning of my post! :frustrated:
And Reina yelled at her :stoned: Nyah.
Thanks for this chappy! :thumbsup

-
Ah tanakame smex :wub:

-
UPDATE! so fast :twothumbs
“I like your heart,” Reina declared. “This heart that beats faster and faster when I get closer… This heart that gives my love life… this heart that belongs to me and that I belong to… I love you, Eri.”
Kawaii :wub:
Reina and Eri is really cute and hot at the same time.
woah, one day? that's pretty impressive!
If the story caught on, it's hard to stop XD
-
You have definitely changed my thoughts concerning Eri :D I thought our Turtle was all shy and kind, but nope :lol: That's okay though, I love this side of her :twothumbs
So Reina's past is going to be discovered soon?? Suspects, suspects :panic: I hope it's nothing TOO serious...
Yay, TakaGaki :cow: Can't wait for that!!!

@mmsuki: lol i'm always going to find some sort of bell, sorry :twisted:
@oddball: Hm... I don't know, what could be big enough... :P

Yay for the TakaGaki chapter that turned out a lot differently than i planned for! :nervous
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 48
“Everybody did their homework today, right?”
“Hai!”
“Okay, then!” Takahashi-sensei smiled, happily clapping her hands together. “Then will our iinchou please collect them from everyone?”
“Hai!” Risa answered, starting to get up from her seat.
It was another day at Haro Kotogakko in Takahashi-sensei’s history class. All the students bustled around and dug through their notebooks and folders, trying to find the packet that had been given to them as homework the day before. Eri rummaged through all her folders and sighed as she leaned back into the chair.
“I think I forgot it at home…” Eri mumbled, looking up at her bean friend with a puppy-dog face.
“Don’t look at me, I can’t do anything about it,” Risa whispered back, rolling her eyes. “Just hand it in tomorrow.”
“But Takahashi-sensei doesn’t accept late homeworks! She puts it down as an F right away!” Eri whined. “Can’t you put in a good word for me, at least?”
“What makes you think she’ll listen to me?”
“Well, other than the fact that you’re her star student,” Eri grinned, “you’re also her beloved girlfriend now, aren’t you?”
Risa rolled her eyes as she turned away from her friend to start walking around the classroom. As her fellow classmates handed her the homework as she passed by each desk, the bean looked up at her teacher in the front of the room, flipping through the pages of her gradebok. Although what Eri had said was true, Risa still found it hard to believe that they were actually going out now. And that her new lover had already met her mother… She shuddered, just thinking back to how she was embarassed by Mama Gaki.
The turtle had been even more ecstatic when she had found out over the phone conversation of that night when Takahashi-sensei had kissed the bean. Eri had screamed loud enough and was shocked enough to accidently drop her phone, hang up, and call back. She had expressed her happiness and joy for her friend who had finally gotten her first girlfriend was able to succeed in what seemed like an impossible love.
As Risa passed by her turtle friend again, Eri clapped her hands together in a begging position and pouted. The iinchou groaned silently and passed by. When she had finished collecting the rest of the homework, the bean headed towards the front of the room, where Ai was waiting for her.
“Thank you, Gaki-san,” Ai smiled, taking the pile of homework from her student.
“You’re welcome…”
As the teacher took the papers, she purposely touched the younger girl’s hand and peeled the fingers open. Then, she discreetly pushed a folded note into her palm. The bean looked up with a surprised face. The teacher grinned even bigger as she gave a wink.
Pretending like nothing had happened, the bean turned away from the board with a straight face, fisting the piece of paper in her hand. She sat down in her chair and looked straight forward, all the while ignoring her turtle friend who was attempting to gain her pity by acting as though she was melting off her desk by slumping her body this way and that with a miserable expression plastered on her face. After taking a couple seconds to calm her breathing, Risa looked down and opened the small note in her hand.
“Meet me on the roof for lunch today”, the bean read to herself. “The weather is nice enough, and maybe we can get more privacy than in the courtyard”…
Risa looked up at her teacher who was counting the number of packets she had in her hand. After she flipped through all of them, she looked up at the turtle who was conveniently avoiding eye contact by staring into empty space by the ceiling. Ai smiled a little as she shook her head. Then, she noticed her girlfriend staring at her from the next desk and gave another wink, causing the bean to blush.
** ** **
“Sensei?” Risa called cautiously, opening the door that led to the rooftop. “Are you here yet?”
The bean looked around a little, the lunch box clutched to her chest, before completely walking outside. The floor was like green rubber with the edges outlined with a fence so no one falls accidently. There was nothing else on the roof except a tall electric pole for whatever it was used for. There was no sign of another person anywhere.
“Sensei?” Risa called again, starting to fear that maybe she had come too early. “Is anybody—”
“GOTCHA!”
“WAH!”
Risa jumped up in shock as she felt a pair of arms constrict her waist tightly. She felt a playful kiss upon her cheeks and a soft laughter in her ears. A familiar scent and warmth was in the atmosphere now, and the bean started to relax.
“Mou, Sensei, you scared me!” the student complained, releasing herself from the binding arms and turning around.
“Gomen, gomen,” Ai laughed, holding her girlfriend’s face in her hands and planting another kiss on her forehead. “I just wanted to surprise you a little. Nice reaction, though, very entertaining.”
“Mou, Sensei~!” Risa complained, pouting a little. But the blushes in her cheeks could not betray her true emotions as her teacher’s playful jokes and kisses made her happier than ever.
“Come on,” the teacher urged, trying to hold her laughter in without much success. “Let’s sit down.”
The couple walked over to one side of the fence and sat down as Risa placed the bento in front of her. She opened the lunch box and revealed the feast that she had cooked up that morning. Ai gasped softly as she marveled at the various kinds of food in each section of the bento.
“You’ve really outdone yourself, Gaki-san,” the older woman said, amazed. “You don’t have to make so much you know. I don’t think we can even finish all this! Rice, chicken, salad, fish… is this kimchi?”
“It’s okay if you leave some,” the bean shrugged. “I guess… I just felt too happy this morning. I needed to keep on doing something… I actually packed Mama’s lunch today too, because I made too much. She usually buys her food.”
“Why were you so happy?”
“You know…” Risa mumbled, avoiding eye contact. “Just… thinking about you… and stuff… yeah.”
“… Kawaii,” Ai smiled, causing Risa to look up at her. “You’re really cute, Gaki-san. And all of that is mine now.” The teacher took ahold of her lover’s hand and tangled her fingers together with Risa’s. The bean slowly smiled.
“I’m glad you said that,” the younger girl said, sighing contently. “Everything still seems pretty unreal…”
“You think I’m beliving my situation right now?” Ai said, raising an eyebrow. “But that’s the beauty. It’s too good to be true but you know it is… reality is so much better than dreams.”
“Only when it comes true,” Risa added.
“Yes, especially when it comes true,” Ai grinned.
After the pleasant conversation, the two lovebirds decided to finally start eating their lunch. The more they ate, the more they realized it really was going to be impossible to finish the large bento. At some point, Ai decided to take Mama Gaki’s advice and baby her girlfriend a little. So she accidently knocked her elbow into the bean’s hand, forcing her to drop her chopsticks.
“Gomen, Gaki-san!” Ai apologized, keeping up a pretty convincing act. “That was careless of me… Do you have another pair of chopsticks?”
“No, I only brought two…” Risa answered, picking up her fallen chopsticks and putting it back in the utensil case. “Dou shiyou…”
“Well, then… here!”
The teacher picked up a piece of meat from the bento and held it up to her girlfriend’s lips. Risa’s eyes widened as pursed her lips tightly.
“Yada!” she said, shaking her head in disagreement. “I’ll just go down to the cafeteria and take a fork or something.”
“It’s such a hassle, just eat what I feed you,” the teacher grinned.
“No, it’s embarrassing…” Risa mumbled, frowning. “Stop that, Sensei.”
“Come on, just eat.”
“Yada!”
“If you don’t eat from the chopsticks, I’m going to make you eat from my mouth,” Ai threatened, smirking.
Risa’s eyes popped open even wider as she quickly calculated the odds of her lover actually doing what she threatened to do. The answer? Yes. Yes, she would. So the bean quickly grabbed the older woman’s wrist and brought it closer until she could eat the beef from the chopsticks. Ai laughed as she watched her girlfriend chew slowly and swallow, satisfied by her plan.
“There, happy?” Risa said, puffing up her cheeks a little, unintentionally looking cute.
“Kawaii,” Takahashi-sensei chuckled. “You look really cute right now, Gaki-san.”
“Am not,” the bean mumbled.
“Yes, you are,” the teacher argued. “This seems a lot more natural than your iinchou-image. I like seeing you like this.”
“I’m still me, there’s nothing different!” Risa snapped back, starting to blush.
“Kawaii~” Ai laughed. Without warning, she suddenly brought her hands up to take a hold of her girlfriend’s face. She leaned in closer until she could kiss the bean’s cheek and backed away again.
“W-what was that for?” Risa asked, her face turning bright red.
“Why? Am I not allowed?” Ai smiled, knowing the answer already.
“I-it’s not that you’re not…” the student mumbled quickly, looking away. “Um, I’m going to put away the bento now.”
“Yeah, we can’t finish it,” the teacher agreed, laughing to herself at her girlfriend trying to avoid delving further into the subject.
The two lovebirds cleaned up their lunch area together and put all the utensils away. Risa closed the bento box and set it aside before stretching her legs out straight. Her lover mimicked her action.
“We still have a little time left,” Ai said. “What should we do?”
“Well… we can just talk?” Risa offered, looking at her teacher next to her. “There are a couple things I’ve been meaning to ask you… you know, to get to know you better?”
“How about we take turns asking questions, then?” Takahashi-sensei suggested. “I’d like to know you better, too.”
The younger girl’s cheeks turned pink once more, as she smiled that beautiful smile of hers. “Can I go first?”
“By all means.”
“Okay, then… Who was your first kiss?”
“Maji de?!” Ai moaned, rolling her eyes. “Is this the direction we’re taking this thing?”
“I said I wanted to know you better,” Risa said calmly. “That involves your history.”
“Can’t we stick to the future rather than the past?” Ai asked.
“The problem is, Sensei, the future didn’t happen yet,” Risa grinned, winking at her teacher. She had definitely turned the tables around. “Come on, be honest with me. I thought we were over all the barriers now.”
“We are…” Ai muttered, glaring at the ground for a while. After a couple moments, she sighed and looked at her girlfriend again. “Okay, I’ll tell you if it’ll make you happy.”
“I’m all ears.”
“… It was back in middle school,” the teacher started in a low voice. “He was the first person I ever went out with, a senpai from high school.”
“Wait… ‘He’?”
“Yes… is there something wrong?”
“Nothing. I just thought that… you would’ve only had girlfriends…” the bean said hesitantly.
“I don’t let barriers like gender get in the way of true feelings, Gaki-san,” Ai smiled. “I fall in love with who I love. It doesn’t matter if that person is a boy or a girl.”
Perfect lesson for that Reina girl, Risa thought. Good thing she learned it.
“So, back to the story…” Ai sighed. “He was three, maybe four years my senior? He was pretty old, older compared to me, anyway. And he initiated a kiss on the third day we started going out and I just accepted it.”
“Is this during your… uh… yankii days?” Risa asked carefully.
“Yes, it was during the time in which I wasn’t thinking clearly,” Ai chuckled softly. “He was the first person that seemed to understand my feelings, you know? He was actually the one that brought me further into the delinquent world… I joined his gang too.”
“Um… did you two… you know…” Risa mumbled, feeling a little embarassed. “um… go further…?”
“Hell, no!” Ai yelled, her Fukui dialect slipping out a little, startling the bean in the process. “He became a real jerk later on… Actually, he was always a jerk but I just never saw it. I dumped him after a couple months.”
“What happened after that?” Risa asked, her eyes widening with curiosity.
“He got mad and tried to get his gang to attack me,” the teacher shrugged, looking up at the sky as she tried to recall all the memories. “But nobody did, in the end. You see, I had already proven my worth in the group and had unknowingly grown to have more influence on the members than my so-called boyfriend and leader. So they kicked him out and kept me.”
“Wow…” Risa breathed. “That’s actually… that’s actually pretty cool.”
“It felt good back then,” Ai chuckled. “But now, I feel like none of it was real. In the end, we were all just trying to rebel against ourselves. Everybody felt hopeless about life back then.”
“So… you didn’t go further than kissing with that guy?” Risa asked, referring to her original question.
“Nope.”
“So… you’re still… you know…”
“Hm?”
“You haven’t… uh… done that… yet…. Right?”
“… Now I didn’t say that.”
Risa’s head shot up to stare at her older lover who looked back at her with guilt in her eyes. Hundreds of questions ran through the bean’s head: Who? When? Where? Why? How? Wait, how? No, that was a stupid question. She didn’t need to know how… definitely not.
“You… you’re not…” Risa mumbled.
“Well, I’m 23 years old right now, Gaki-san,” the teacher tried to explain. “If I was still completely clean until this age… I mean, wouldn’t that be even odder?”
“I-I suppose…” As Risa tried to organize her thoughts, an awkward silence filled the air. Ai bit down on her bottom lip before breaking the silence.
“… She wasn’t that good, you know.”
“That’s not the point now, is it?” Risa yelled, making Ai feel even more regretful. “It’s just… I mean, I’ve never… you know.”
“I’m really sorry, Gaki-san, I really am…” Ai apologized, truly feeling bad about the situation.
“No, it’s not your fault,” Risa sighed. “I mean, I hate to admit it… but I’m actually really jealous right now… I just… I feel so behind…”
“I’m really sorr—wait, ‘behind’?” Ai asked, confused. “What do you mean by that?”
“You know what I mean!” Risa groaned. “Like you said, you’re 23. I’m only 17. And I’m still really unexperienced in these kinds of things… I wouldn’t know what to do when we… you know…”
“Chotto, chotto,” the teacher said, shaking her head as she narrowed her eyes. “So let me get this straight. You’re not upset because I’m not a… virgin… but because you think you might hold me back or something? Is that it?”
“Well… yeah…”
“You know, for a pretty smart girl, you’re being very stupid,” Ai scoffed, glaring at the bean. “It’s perfectly fine for a girl your age to not know anything about that; it’s normal. Don’t speed up your maturation for me, Gaki-san. You’re already mentally old enough.”
“But you still see me as a kid, don’t you?” Risa argued back. “I don’t want to be the one who doesn’t know anything; I want to be fully aware of what’s going to happen when we… you know.”
“No offense, Gaki-san, but nobody can really see you as a kid,” Ai rolled her eyes. “Like I said, you’re mentally old enough. Besides, I don’t plan to have sex with you anyway, so we don’t even need to have this conversation.”
“You’re NOT?” Risa shrilled, getting on her knees now. “Why?”
“Because you’re still 17!” Ai sighed. “You’re not old enough to make sound decisions.”
“That’s a direct contradiction of what you just said a couple seconds ago,” the bean growled, glaring.
“You being mentally old enough is just an opinion,” Ai smirked. “But the fact that 17 isn’t an old enough age to make sound decisions is based on research. You see, the human brain isn’t fully developed until—”
“I know when the human brain develops!” Risa snapped, cutting her teacher off. “But… I thought we went through this! You said that you won’t let me go and I can’t turn back anymore, that I was making an adult decision when I chose you. And I told you I was ready. Didn’t we establish all this?”
“Yes, we did,” the teacher nodded. “And I won’t let you go.”
“Then what’s this talk about you not wanting to sleep with me?” Risa snapped.
“Is sex that important to you, Gaki-san?” Ai asked nonchalantly, meaning to tease her girlfriend a little to lighten up the mood.
“J-just answer my question!” Risa persisted on, blushing a little.
“Well,” the teacher sighed, hiding a small smile, “I said that I don’t plan to have sex with you… now. I want to wait until you’re absolutely sure you want me.”
“I am absolutely sure!”
“Nope. Your brain isn’t fully developed.”
“… Fine, I’ll go by your book,” Risa grumbled, finding her teacher’s excuse ridiculous. “Then when do you think my brain will be fully developed to make sound decisions?”
“Oh… I don’t know… maybe after graduation?”
“GRADUATION?” the bean scoffed, her eyes widening. “That’s a year and a semester away!”
“That’s enough time for your brain to mature, I think,” Ai grinned.
“Ugh!” Risa groaned, falling back to lean on the fence again, giving up. “I can’t believe you, Sensei. Do you even want me at all?”
“… I’d be lying if I said I didn’t.”
Risa slowly turned to look up at her lover again. Ai was gazing back at her with smoldering eyes. All the jokes and light-heartedness was gone from her expression, as she leaned in closer to meet the younger girl’s lips. The two kissed for a while, moving their lips against each other’s. Ai started to lick the edges of her girlfriend’s lips, begging for entrance. When admittance was granted, she immediately started to swirl her tongue around inside Risa’s mouth, getting the full taste of her. Risa could feel her teacher’s hand sliding up from her calves to her knees to the tips of her skirt. She played with the fabric for a whiel as they kissed, causing the bean to shudder whenever Ai’s fingers would just slightly touch the skin. When they broke apart, Risa’s face was bright red from the interaction while the teacher’s eyes were still half-closed, as though she was in a dream.
“I’m taking it slow because I treasure you, Niigaki Risa,” Ai whispered, letting her forehead touch with the bean’s. “I really want this to come naturally, not because of a sudden fling or something. And I’m definitely not in a rush because I plan to keep a long relationship with you. Can you understand my feelings?”
“… Un…” Risa agreed, nodding a little. She could feel her heart beating faster from her girlfriend’s sincere words.
“I’m glad,” Ai smiled. She then dropped her head onto the student’s shoulder and closed her eyes. “Can we stay like this for a little while? Just until the bell rings?”
“Okay,” Risa murmured, looking down at her teacher’s beautiful face. She seemed pretty satisfied, now that the bean accepted her point of view.
Sensei is right; it’s better for this kind of thing to come naturally, Risa though to herself with a small smile. But there’s always a way to make it come naturally… faster… right? A year and a semester is too long…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope that was kind of interesting to read... I guess the main thing for TakaGaki now is the whole secretive/age-gap relationship :P
Next is a jumbo chapter. Meaning it's not focused on one couple. But it's essential, you'll see :thumbsup
:byebye: :sleep:
-
Gonna save a spot first. Mwahaha, SarangAi didn't even change the topic to the new update yet. XD I'm so fast~
All right~ Just finished reading. I really love this entire Student-teacher interaction. Usually I probably won't approve of such things, but I mean, who can deny TakaGaki right? :lol:
It's so cute how Ai-chan purposely knocked over the chopsticks so that Gaki can be baby-ed.
And I lol'ed all through Risa's little "outbursts" over not being experienced. These feelings are really true despite the fact that she's only 17. Love can really make a person say and do anything. :wub:
-
XD aiai i love u so XD
i love how risa's the one really asking the questions and ai never even got a chance XD and the brain development maturing thing is so true and cute with them XDDD cute inexperianced risa and hawt experianced ai-sensei is the best :deco: i really cant wait to see how this "brain develompent" of risa goes XDDD
-
KYAAAAAAA~~!!! :mon crazyinlove: :mon lovelaff: Unbearable cuteness!! :imdead:
LOL.. It's THAT conversation. :lol:
Ai-chan: ...She wasn't that good, you know? ---> Me: Bwahahahahaha! :rofl: Gaki is sooo jealous! :P :D
When Ai-chan said she wasn't planning on doing "it" with Gaki, I was like, :mon wtfmm: NOOOOOO!!! :on blackhole: **scoffs** Yeah, right. :tama-mad: XD
It's good(for us) that Gaki-san is impatient, right? :mon mischief: lolol..Just kidding! :lol:(but seriously..)
Glad you updated! :cow:
-
Yay for the TakaGaki chapter that turned out a lot differently than i planned for!
Now I want to know what you originally had planned.
“Well, other than the fact that you’re her star student,” Eri grinned, “you’re also her beloved girlfriend now, aren’t you?”
Let the teasing... Commence!
Eri had screamed loud enough and was shocked enough to accidently drop her phone, hang up, and call back.
I was just imagining what Reina's reaction might be to witnessing this side of that conversation. :lol:
As the teacher took the papers, she purposely touched the younger girl’s hand and peeled the fingers open. Then, she discreetly pushed a folded note into her palm. The bean looked up with a surprised face. The teacher grinned even bigger as she gave a wink.
THIS made me happy for some reason. Maybe because it's just so naughty! They haven't had any close calls or anything yet, so both are so innocent about their relationship. They can pass notes secretly and meet on the roof. For now.
But the blushes in her cheeks could not betray her true emotions as her teacher’s playful jokes and kisses made her happier than ever.
So innocent~
“You know…” Risa mumbled, avoiding eye contact. “Just… thinking about you… and stuff… yeah.”
I just drowned in cuteness, thanks. XD
At some point, Ai decided to take Mama Gaki’s advice and baby her girlfriend a little. So she accidently knocked her elbow into the bean’s hand, forcing her to drop her chopsticks.
Accidentally on purpose? :lol:
“Well, I’m 23 years old right now, Gaki-san,” the teacher tried to explain. “If I was still completely clean until this age… I mean, wouldn’t that be even odder?”
NO! It totally wouldn't be odd!! :panic:
“… She wasn’t that good, you know.”
Well now, that just changes everything doesn't it? :lol:
“Chotto, chotto,” the teacher said, shaking her head as she narrowed her eyes. “So let me get this straight. You’re not upset because I’m not a… virgin… but because you think you might hold me back or something? Is that it?”
Noo~ What she means is, "I want sexah timez from Takahashi-sensei. Like now plz. Kthnxbye." Unfortunately, we need at least a birthday to happen before it's acceptable on the forum.
*make-out scene*
:imdead:
“I’m taking it slow because I treasure you, Niigaki Risa,” Ai whispered, letting her forehead touch with the bean’s. “I really want this to come naturally, not because of a sudden fling or something. And I’m definitely not in a rush because I plan to keep a long relationship with you. Can you understand my feelings?”
Damn, that sounds like a keeper. If a girl ever said that to me, I would worship the ground she walked on.
Sensei is right; it’s better for this kind of thing to come naturally, Risa though to herself with a small smile. But there’s always a way to make it come naturally… faster… right? A year and a semester is too long…
*Imagines many more make-out sessions to come* :imdead:
Next is a jumbo chapter. Meaning it's not focused on one couple. But it's essential, you'll see
STOP TEASING ME!! I'm going to explode from anticipation. :lol:
-
Hahahahaha oh the talk :wahaha:
Gakisan: You don't wanna have sex?? :shock: Not a virgin? :stoned:
Oh Aichan.. I don't think you can hold out for a year and half anyway :kekeke:
Great chap as always! :twothumbs
-
There are only three words to describe the several chapters I've read
1 - No
2 - Boring
3 - Scenes
:wriggly: :wriggly: :wriggly: :w00t: :wriggly: :wriggly: :wriggly: :w00t: :wriggly: :wriggly: :wriggly: :w00t: :wriggly: :wriggly: :wriggly:
You sure know how to make your readers go all twitterpated :twothumbs
-
I'm back! I've been out for a week and when I come back there's a Takagaki chapter waiting for me?? Maybe I should take more vacations (yup, sounds good to me :yep: )
I'm a TakaGaki lover as much as I'm a KameShige lover, so I'm reaaaaally HA~PPY right now (yeah with Charmy's move too). Gah Gaki is so cute when Ai-chan is playing with her, and she doesn't even realise that! How can anyone be so cute seriously???
... And how could she believe that she would be sensei's first? I mean she's 23.. Open you eyes Risa :nervous
As for the TanaKame's chapter.. I don't really know what to think. It seems like Reina's past is going to be revealed and at first I was like that cow ==> :cow:
But then she talked to Eri like THAT and now I want to slap her ah ah
-
Kyaaaahhh, so much TakaGaki love in the Air :wub:
It's so sweet now that Ai has decided on liking Gaki that she is very much into it, more so than Gaki, I suppose as the older one it's sweet that she is very much in control of many of the situtaions but it's still cute to see.....
Hmmm, not sure about Gaki's 'plan' to get Ai to well, basically sleep with her before Ai thinks she's ready, why can I see that backfiring, did something similar happen in Ai's past, perhaps another reason fro her being 'bad' ?
-
Coming home tired and pressured and yet when I got to read chapter 48 your story telling took my fatigue away! I enjoyed it! Good work! :lol:
-
Ah... TakaGaki rendezvous at the rooftop :heart: it's so cute
uh oh... some serious talk... so... Ai-sensei had a boyfriend before...
“Well, I’m 23 years old right now, Gaki-san,” the teacher tried to explain. “If I was still completely clean until this age… I mean, wouldn’t that be even odder?”
No sensei, it's not odd! well... i guess it's not surprising with her yankii background when she's young :nervous being reckless and all...
“… She wasn’t that good, you know.”
so... she lost it to a girl?! :O she really mean it when she said gender is not important in love :lol:
“I’m taking it slow because I treasure you, Niigaki Risa,” Ai whispered, letting her forehead touch with the bean’s. “I really want this to come naturally, not because of a sudden fling or something. And I’m definitely not in a rush because I plan to keep a long relationship with you. Can you understand my feelings?”
aww... :heart: that is one killer line...
Sensei is right; it’s better for this kind of thing to come naturally, Risa though to herself with a small smile. But there’s always a way to make it come naturally… faster… right? A year and a semester is too long…
Risa sure is impatient :nervous oh well... blame it on raging hormone...
-
@sapphire: LOL I noticed, that was beast of you XD
@kawaii beam: lol I totally just pulled the brain development thing from high school science class.. :lol:
@kano-chan: yeah, I don't know if I can hold back writing all the TakaGaki love... :P
@rndmwierd: lol actually, it just put me in a pinch where I started to contemplate whether it was perv material or not... so i just kinda avoided the subject altogether and took a different approach instead XD
@astro18: yeah, a year and half is too long... :twisted:
@kRisZ: LOL I'm only happy to make my readers go twitterpatted :lol:
@Tchips: welcome back! and yeah, Reina's being a bitch... but just for a little while :nervous

@black_inu09: yay~ glad to give you some smiles XD
@eruchan: LOL raging hormones... LOL :rofl:
Yay for my unstoppable typing fingers that actually got me to finish the next chapter in less than 24 hours! :w00t:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 49
Eri quietly slurped up her soda through the straw as she intently watched her girlfriend across the table. Reina had been staring at the burger in her hands with a blank face for the past three minutes without even moving a little. The turtle slowly reached over to Reina’s tray and took a handful of fries to put on her own tray. Still, the kitten made no movement.
“Um… Reina?” Eri called after clearly her throat. “Hello, Reina?”
“Huh?” Reina blihnked a couple times as she looked up at her girlfriend. “Nani?”
“Are you okay?” the turtle asked, concerned. “You’ve been spacing out for a while…”
“Oh. Oh, yeah, I’m fine, just… just kind of tired I guess…”
Reina took a bite out of her burger and started to chew slowly. This time, she started to stare at the paper placemat on her tray which was advertising the shop’s new crispy chicken sandwich. Eventually, she stopped chewing and let her mouth drop open slightly as she spaced out once more.
Eri sighed as she shoved some fries into her mouth. The two lovers were at a burger shop, catching an afternoon snack together. The atmosphere was pretty friendly, with the brightness of the store itself and a soft pop song playing in the background. However, the ex-yankii’s unusual attitude was making the turtle worry more than ever. She hadn’t really smiled much after the night she yelled at her girlfriend. Eri had spent the past week thinking about who the man that visited Reina might be, and what made her so anxious all of a sudden. And also, it seemed as though that envelope that Reina had received had some significance in this matter….
“You know, Reina,” Eri started, leaning forward a little to snap her girlfriend back into reality, “if there’s something bothering you, you can tell me. Anything at all. You know that, right?”
“Huh? Y-yeah… I know…” the kitten mumbled, staring at the place where she had bitten out of the burger.
“… Okay, I’m going to be straightforward with you,” the turtle sighed, realizing her previous plan wasn’t going to work. “I know you’re hiding something, and that it has to do with the man that visited you a week ago.”
“What man?”
“The guy in the black suit who brought all the other guys in black suits driving a black limousine,” Eri explained, rolling her eyes. “It doesn’t get any more suspicious than that.”
“I don’t get what you mean,” Reina said quietly, pursing her lips.
“Come on, Reina, I’m not that much of an airhead, right?” Eri groaned. “You obviously knew the man; you called him ‘Kaneda’, I remember. Who is he?”
“He’s just… someone I know.”
“Yeah, a middle-aged man that you happen to call informally,” Eri said sarcastically. “Then what about that envelope? Why were you so surprised to get it?”
“Look, Eri, I know that you care about me and all,” Reina snapped, changing her attitude, “but that doesn’t mean you can delve so deeply into my personal life.”
“But I’m your personal life!” the turtle argued. “Aren’t I important enough to know this? Reina, please don’t hide things from me. I want to be the one closest to you, and I don’t like the fact that there’s something I don’t know about you.”
“Well, there’s a lot of things you still don’t know about me,” Reina said in a threatening tone, narrowing her eyes. “Look, Eri, I’m not in the mood for this, alright?”
Eri blinked a couple times as she stared at the unfamiliar girl in front of her. This was definitely not like the Reina she knew. The Reina she knew was confident, teasing, and full of pride but also warm, fun, and kind. The person in front of her right now was cold, uncaring, and merciless. The ex-yankii stared back at her lover in shock for a while before sighing and closing her eyes for a while. She rubbed her forehead a little before attempting to speak again.
“Look, Eri… I just—”
“Woah, what a coincidence to find you two here!”
Both girls looked up to find a familiar yankii standing by their table. She had her arm around black-haired girl who was attempting to smile but failing somehow as her lips curved up awkwardly.
“Junjun, what are you doing here?” Reina growled, obviously not welcoming her unserious friend’s presence.
“Hey, that’s no way to greet your best friend,” the panda pouted. “How’s it going, Kame-chan?”
“It’s going,” Eri answered, trying to force a smile. “Good to see you again, Shige-san.”
“H-hai…” Sayumi nodded, feeling happy to be greeted. With a surge of courage, the bunny proceeded to say a word to the ex-yankii as well. “T-Tanaka-san… konnichiwa.”
“Oshisashiburi desu ne, Shige-san,” Reina greeted back, smiling almost professionally. “Genki?”
“Hai,” Sayumi answered quietly, nodding a couple times again.
Well, I can see she’s obviously not planning on taking her anger out on Shige-san, Eri thought. Good thing too, since Reina could probably give the poor girl a heart attack if she went on the way she acted towards me…
“What were you guys talking about?” Junjun asked. “Can we slip in?”
Before her request could even be answered, the panda pulled Reina out of her seat and swung her into the same bench as the turtle. Then, she nudged Sayumi towards the empty seats and slid into the booth.
“Hey!” Reina protested, glaring at her friend. “I didn’t even answer you yet!”
“It was taking too long,” Junjun joked, yawning. “So what were you guys talking about?”
“Nothing that concerns you,” Reina shot, obviously not playing friendly with the panda either.
“Fine,” the yankii leader scoffed. “Maybe Kame-chan will tell me then.”
As Junjun looked at her expectantly, Eri caught her girlfriend glaring at her in the corner of eye.
“I think I’m going to hold off on that,” the turtle decided, thinking it was better not to anger the kitten any more than she already was.
“Oh, fine,” Junjun sighed, deciding to let the subject go.
“Where are Aika and Linlin today?” Eri asked, looking around for signs of the usual yankii crew.
“They’re on a date in Disneyland,” Junjun grinned. “Aika said that she needed to go one more time this season to make a profit from her annual pass.”
“And Linlin just goes with her like that when she still needs to pay?” Eri asked, amazed by the young couple’s bond.
“She doesn’t mind; that girl is crazy for Aika and vice versa,” Junjun snickered. “Well, I’m going to go get some food. What do you want, Usa-chan? Do you want to try the new crispy chicken sandwich?”
“I don’t think I can finish it…” the bunny said in almost a whisper.
“We can split it then,” the panda shrugged, getting up from her seat. “I’ll go buy it.”
As Junjun slid out of the booth and disappeared around a corner, Eri got a sudden spark of idea. She ushered Reina out of the seat so that she could get out.
“I’m… uh… going to the bathroom,” the turtle said. “I’ll be right back.”
“Okay,” Reina nodded, not even looking up.
Eri immediately strutted around the corner as well towards the counter. Junjun was waiting on the line, observing the menu board and mumbling something to herself.
“Junjun!” the turtle called, walking over to stand in line with her.
“Hey, Kame-chan,” the yankii grinned. “What’s up?”
“I was wondering if I could ask you something… about Reina.”
“This is what you guys were talking about before, right?” Junjun smirked. “And I assume you don’t want me to tell Reina about this so that she doesn’t get angry.”
“Sharp as ever, Junjun,” Eri smiled.
“That’s my middle name,” the panda winked. “So shoot. What do you want to know?”
“I was just wondering… if you know anybody by the name of ‘Kaneda’?”
“Oh, that’s easy,” Junjun shrugged. “He’s Tanaka Koichi’s right-hand man: Kaneda Tetsuya.”
“Tanaka… Koichi?” Eri asked.
“Yeah, Reina’s dad,” Junjun explained. “The president of Tanaka Electronics? I mean, it’s not a really prominent company, but the family is rich enough.”
“Sou ka…” There really are so many things I still don’t know about Reina… Eri put her hand over her chest, feeling it tighten. Although she knew their relationship was mostly built on the “love-at-first-sight” concept, it still hurt to know that Eri wasn’t close enough to know more than Reina’s friend.
“Why do you ask about Kaneda-san?” Junjun questioned.
“Well… he visited Reina about a week ago,” Eri explained, thinking that maybe she could get more out of this conversation if Junjun knew the full story. “He gave her this envelope: I’m not sure what’s inside. But whatever it is, it really shocked Reina. And after that, she wouldn’t tell me anything and just yell whenever I ask her about it.”
“… Well, chances are that the envelope is from Reina’s dad,” Junjun predicted, stroking her chin like a detective. “Kaneda-san’s entire life basically revolves around Tanaka-shachou. And I’m not surprised by Reina’s action since just the mere fact that her father sent her something is pretty shocking enough. You’re aware that they’re not exactly on good terms, right?”
“Yes, I know.” Eri recalled the time when Reina had made a major confession of her past… Of how her father had basically kicked her out of her home when her mother passed away through a car accident, while she was on the way to pick her up from the police office… Guilt, anger, and regret had driven the father and the daughter apart.
“Yeah, so Reina’s father probably wants something from Reina to send something like that, whatever it is,” Junjun continued. “Kame-chan, Reina has a bad habit of keeping all her burdens to herself. I think it’s better if we find a way to share it.”
“But how would I do that?” Eri asked. “She won’t even tell me anything…”
“You gotta start thinking like me, Kame-chan,” Junjun smirked. “What do I do when Reina doesn’t let me in her house?”
“… Sneak in?” Eri guessed.
“Exactly,” Junjun said, clapping her hands together.
“But… isn’t that kind of going overboard?” the turtle inquired. “I mean, it is her privacy…”
“Hey, it’s all for her own good,” Junjun shrugged. “We break in to make dinner for her. You’re breaking in to support her. Trust me when I say this, Kame-chan: whatever her father gave her, it can’t be a good thing for Reina. She’s actually very afraid of her father.”
“… I understand,” Eri nodded determinedly. Junjun is right; I have to do this. If I ever want to really get to know Reina more, I have to take action myself. And the first step to doing that is getting that envelope!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's not that long but hey, it really makes things interesting, right? :D
Next is the 50th chapter... I'm planning on having a little special chapter thingie, something to just put out there. Like an omake, almost XD
And it involves our little AikaLin couple! These girls are pretty underrated in this fic, and I thought that they deserved some screentime :D
And another reason I'm gonna do this is because I have no idea how to continue on this story after this so... yeah, it's a filler chapter while I brainstorm :nervous
But it'll be cute! I'll make it as interesting as possible :twothumbs
:byebye:

yay for linka filler chapter~! X3 cant wait to read it~ :3
-
Darn you!^ XD
@rndmwierd: lol actually, it just put me in a pinch where I started to contemplate whether it was perv material or not... so i just kinda avoided the subject altogether and took a different approach instead
Damn. XD
Reina had been staring at the burger in her hands with a blank face for the past three minutes without even moving a little. The turtle slowly reached over to Reina’s tray and took a handful of fries to put on her own tray. Still, the kitten made no movement.
:lol: :lol:
“… Okay, I’m going to be straightforward with you,” the turtle sighed, realizing her previous plan wasn’t going to work.
I like this plan. Unofrtunately, I don't think it's going to go over so well.
The person in front of her right now was cold, uncaring, and merciless.
:O Kowaii~ If it was me, I would have gotten up and walked away. Good thing Eri doesn't have my temper.
Both girls looked up to find a familiar yankii standing by their table. She had her arm around black-haired girl who was attempting to smile but failing somehow as her lips curved up awkwardly.
This is so cute to imagine. XD
“They’re on a date in Disneyland,”
Daww~ So sweet.
Junjun is right; I have to do this. If I ever want to really get to know Reina more, I have to take action myself. And the first step to doing that is getting that envelope!
Oh god, this is not going to end well... :O
Next is the 50th chapter... I'm planning on having a little special chapter thingie, something to just put out there. Like an omake, almost XD
And it involves our little AikaLin couple!
Yes please! I really like this couple.

No, playing the role of a thief isn't a good idea... :mon freeze: I sense promising evil and heartbreak... :mon chilly: :frustrated: :mon scare: :tantrum:
-
you're fast!
uh oh... Reina being all secretive and cold towards Kame... poor turtle... :(
“Oshisashiburi desu ne, Shige-san,” Reina greeted back, smiling almost professionally. “Genki?”
at least she's still being polite to the bunny...
“They’re on a date in Disneyland,” Junjun grinned. “Aika said that she needed to go one more time this season to make a profit from her annual pass.”
Sanma no Manma reference? XD
“… I understand,” Eri nodded determinedly. Junjun is right; I have to do this. If I ever want to really get to know Reina more, I have to take action myself. And the first step to doing that is getting that envelope!
i get the feeling it's gonna be an epic fail :lol: since our turtle isn't that sneaky
-
So Reina is really not keen to explain the situation to Eri and starts acting cold towards her, hmm perhpas an indication that thier relationship perhaps is not as would founded as they both though, especially Eri it seems.
I 'm also glad Reina didn't take it out on Sayu :lol:
Trust good old Jun to spill the beans about what Reina was trying to keep from Eri :doh: still Jun is doing it for Reina and perhpas she knows best, but.... I dunno if convincing Eri ro break in to find what was in the letter is such a good idea......
-
TakaGaki lol
Poor Gaki, she expected to hear a slightly different XD
Reyna now looks like a car with bad brakes. Eri-driver, whether it will cope with driving? :? Jun's idea quite risky.
Such a turn of events is good, because it dilutes created idyll. I wonder what will happen next.
-
@kawaii beam: lol Mission impossible~ :yossi: :lol:
@rndmnwierd: lol better luck next time~~ XD
@Tchips: lol you hesitate, you lose... XD
@astro18: Well, that's Tsundereina for you~ :lol:

@oddball: well, maybe Jun as her down days in between all her cool awesomeness moments :lol:
@nighell: LOL bad breaks? that's actually pretty good. Here's to hoping Eri doesn't get into a car accident... XD
Thank you for all the thnx/comments! :cow:
I'm writing up the LinKa chapter and I'm halfway done, but I'm realizing that my original planned chapter is WAY too long... so I'm cutting it down a bit :nervous
It wasn't THAT exciting anyway so it's okay~ and it's still pretty lengthy~ :D
-
Awwww, TakaGaki was so SWEET!!! :wub: It's so nice to see that Ai-chan has loosen up a little bit and is really enjoying her time with Gaki-san, they're so lovely :heart: :heart: And blushing Gaki is very cute, so just tease her more Ai-chan!!! :lol:
Hmm, Reina should share more her feelings with Eri, trust is needed in relationships :smhid I hope the adorable turtle won't get hurt :cry:
Junjun is the QUEEN!!! :cow: :cow: I totally drool here, she's just too hot :drool:
Yay, waiting for AikaLin chappie :twothumbs
-
I have a feeling that Jun's plan will epically fail which will completely mess things between Eri and Reina :panic: :panic:
I want more TakaGaki love :wub: they're so cute :wub: :wub:
I'm wondering what will Risa do to make Aichan have sex with her :? probably something extremely stupid :nervous

@Bamtai: Yeah, Junjun is awesome here! :lol:
@shenlog: They always do something extremely stupid XD
This chapter turned out SO much longer than I planned for... I hope it's interesting enough to keep you all entertained... :nervous
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 50
“YATTA~ DISNEYLAND~!”
Linlin cheered at the top of her lungs as she ran through the main castle gate with Aika close behind her.
“Linlin, your skirt is flying up!” Aika warned, tryng to run faster.
“It’s okay, I’m wearing shorts underneath!” the panda laughed.
“I’m not talking about that!” Aika yelled out. “I’m talking about your knives!”
Linlin screeched to a stop and pulled the edges of her skirt down, hiding the band around her thighs which were holding a couple of her switch knives. Aika smirked as she caught up to her girlfriend. Linlin froze in place as her eyes looked from side to side.
“Whoops,” she mumbled.
“Be careful, okay?” Aika giggled. “This is Disneyland. People are gonna think we’re weird if we hide things like that under our uniform skirts.”
“I guess you’re right,” Linlin sighed, scratching her head. “But I was just too excited! We haven’t been here in a while… and it makes me happy because this is where we had our first date.”
“And our first kiss,” Aika smiled, pressing her hands to her cheeks to hide her blush.
“Mou, stop being so cute!” Linlin mumbled, grinning to herself.
“You stop first!” Aika said, swaying her body.
“Okay, together then!” Linlin suggested. “Se… no!”
Instantly, both of the girls immediately put their hands down and put their feet together as though they were in the army. Linlin grinned as Aika tried to hold in her laughter. These little moments were what made the two feel as though they belonged together.
“Okay!” Linlin said, taking a deep breath and grabbing her girlfriend’s hand. “Shall we go then?”
“Wait a minute!” Aika said, pulling the excited panda back. “Let’s try to be civilized this time around, Linlin.”
“What do you mean?” her girlfriend asked, cocking her head to the side.
“I mean, we’re high school students already!” Aika explained, trying to be serious. “Isn’t it time we conduct ourselves a bit more maturely now?”
“I suppose…” Linlin mumbled, thinking hard about this new idea. “What happened to our Peter Pan concept?”
“Thing is… Peter Pan is dead,” Aika said hesitantly.
“NO.” Linlin’s mouth dropped open as she gasped.
“YES,” Aika pouted. “That was my reaction too. But I found out a couple days ago in the school library when I was looking up random things on the internet, that Peter Pan was born in 1904… so he’s dead.”
“But… but he lives in Neverland!” Linlin argued, refusing to believe reality. “Nobody grows up there!”
“Thing is… there is no second star to the right that’s named Neverland in the official Nasa database,” Aika said solemnly.
“NO.” Linlin gasped again, her eyes almost bulging out.
“YES!” Aika yelled, looking as though she was about to cry. “But I’m still trying to believe, you know? But it’s hard… fact is, maybe we should pass dreams on to children younger than us now… maybe it’s time we start acting 16 years old.”
“I understand,” Linlin nodded determinedly, holding onto her girlfriend’s hand. “I’m with you all the way, Mittsi!”
“Arigatou, Linlin!” Aika thanked, smiling her shining smile. “I always feel better when I’m with you.”
“Me too,” the panda grinned. “Okay, then. Act more mature… Be like an adult, right?”
“Yup,” Aika nodded. “Be more—KYAAAAH! MICKEY MOUSE!”
In an instant, Mittsi let go of her girlfriend’s hand and dashed over to where a big Mickey Mouse was standing, waving at the children and handing balloons out. She skipped in place amongst the crowd of toddlers and waved Linlin over. The panda skittered over as well to barely catch the camera that Aika threw at her as she ran into Mickey’s arms.
“Take a picture, Linlin, quick!” Aika yelled, unable to stop laughing and smiling.
“Don’t you already have a picture with Mickey?” Linlin asked, raising an eyebrow.
“15 of them,” Aika announced proudly. “And this will be a great addition! So take it!”
“Okay, okay, over here, Mickey-kun!” Linlin waved, laughing. “Iku yo! Se…no!”
“Mickey!” Aika yelled as she smiled her biggest smile.
Mickey Mouse put his arm around the schoolgirl and gave a thumbs-up as well. After the picture, he handed Aika a purple balloon and gave Linlin a light blue one.
“Arigatou!” the couple said in unison.
“So,” Linlin started, as they started to walk further into the park, “what were you saying before again? Be more… mature, was it?” The panda grinned as her girlfriend’s face turned a little red from the light teasing.
“… I think we’re still young enough!” Aika insisted, looking at her girlfriend with determined eyes. “We’ll worry about being adults when we’re Jun-senpai and Tanaka-senpai’s age.”
“Whatever you say,” Linlin chuckled, taking a hold of her lover’s hand. “Now let’s go have some fun!”
Grinning at each other, the two girls ran further into the park until all the various rides became visible. They looked around this way and that, trying to take in all of the colors and various sights. Although they had been to Disneyland many times before, it always felt like the first time every single visit.
“Which one first?” Linlin asked, her eyes practically spinning around.
“The teacups!” Aika exclaimed, pointing towards the ride.
Mittsi pulled her girlfriend along towards the Spinning Teacups with a circular fence around. There was a sign at the entrance with a drawing of Alice in the Wonderland with the Mad Hatter. The two girls managed to get in on their first wait in the line as they presented their wrist bands to the guy at the little gate. Then, the couple dashed to one of the teacups and sat together.
“Should we spin fast or slow?” Linlin inquired.
“Let’s go fast this time!” Aika grinned. “We haven’t eaten anything for the past four hours so it should be alright… I think.”
“The ride will start soon,” a voice boomed from the speakers. “Please keep your arms and feet inside the teacup at all times.”
Soon, a loud crazy music from the Disney movie started to play, and the entire ride started spinning. Aika and Linlin grabbed the handle in the middle of the cup and started turning and twisting it as well. Soon enough, they were spinning fast enough to not even see clearly.
“IT’S… A…” Aika sang out loudly off-key, her voice shaking from all the spinning.
“VERY HAPPY UN-BIRTHDAY!” Linlin finished, shouting along with the music.
“FOR ME?” Aika screamed, laughing.
“FOR YOU!” Linlin answered back, also laughing hysterically.
“A VERY—AAAAHHHHHH!” Aika attempted to continue, but failed as her singing turned into more joyous screaming.
Eventually, the ride came to a full halt as the two girls sat side by side, staring into empty space. Aika was the first to break back into reality as she shook her head and pressed her messy hair down. She then grabbed Linlin’s hand and dragged the frozen panda out of the teacup and out the gate.
“That was so much fun!” Mittsi exclaimed, bursting into giggles. “Wasn’t that fun?”
“So… dizzy…” Linlin mumbled, still unable to get her eyes to focus on one thing.
“Oh, come on, it wasn’t that bad,” Aika laughed.
“I think… I need to rest…” Linlin mumbled again, her eyes half-closing.
“O-oi!” Aika yelled, starting to slightly panic. “Don’t get sick on me!”
As Aika stepped closer and placed her hands on the panda’s shoulder, Linlin immediately turned her head and planted a quick kiss on her girlfriend’s lips. Aika gasped as she exhaled sharply in disbelief. Linlin just grinned, proud of her action.
“That was sneaky!” Aika said, narrowing her eyes. “You did that on purpose!”
“Well, I didn’t do it accidently,” Linlin laughed, shrugging. “I just wanted a kiss, that’s all.”
“You could just ask.”
“Oh. Then can I have one?”
“Nope,” Aika smirked. “Because you already stole one from me.”
“Is that how it works?” Linlin pouted.
“Hey, there’s a price for everything,” Mittsi snickered. “Come on, let’s go to the next ride!”
“Wait a minute…” Linlin said, holding her girlfriend back. “Look over there.”
Aika followed her girlfriend’s finger to the place she was pointing at. There was a little girl standing alone a couple feet away, looking around. She didn’t even look old enough to be in kindergarten.
“Mama?” the girl was calling, starting to slowly cry. “Mama!”
“I think she lost her mama!” Aika gasped. “Come on, let’s go help.”
The two girls quickly walked over to the lost child and crouched in front of her to get on the toddler’s eye-level. The girl noticed the sudden appearance in front of her, but continued to sob.
“Mama!” she screamed. “Mama!”
“Shh, shh!” Aika hushed, putting a finger to her lips. “Don’t cry, little girl! It’s okay, we’ll find your mommy! Look, look! … Peekaboo!”
As Aika covered her face and suddenly opened it again to reveal her smiling face, the girl watched intently for a couple seconds. But soon, she started to cry out even louder than before.
“Okay, okay, okay, look here now!” Linlin chided, stepping up to the plate. “Look, look! Funny face!”
The panda proceeded to stretch her cheeks out in odd angles, sticking her tongue out and disfiguring her face into something pretty ridiculous. The little girl watched with curiosity before she started to laugh at the teenage girl.
“Yay! She stopped crying!” Aika exclaimed. “Nee, little girl, what’s your name?”
“Nana!” the girl yelled, holding out four fingers. “Nana… yon-sai!”
“Kawaii~!” Aika crooned, completely won over by the little girl. “Well, Nana-chan, did you lose your mama?”
“Mama… mama…” the little girl started to mumble, the tears welling up again.
“Daijoubu, daijoubu!” the panda said quickly. “We’ll help you find your mama, okay? Come here!”
In one quick swoop, Linlin scooped up the toddler into her arms and stood up. Aika did the same and dusted her skirt.
“So… where do we look first?” Aika asked.
“Well, I guess the lost-child center?” Linlin guessed.
“Crepe! Crepe!” Nana happily yelled out, pointing at the nearest crepe stand.
“CREPE!” Linlin gasped, smiling dreamily. She could already taste the sweet dessert melting in her mouth.
“Well, I don’t mind getting crepes since you love them,” Aika smiled. “But you’re buying Nana-chan’s.”
“Doesn’t matter!” the panda decided. “Crepe it is!”
“Yay!” the toddler cheered. “Crepe! Crepe!”
And so, the little group bought three crepes to eat as they headed towards the lost-child center. Linlin immersed herself in her soy-bean crepe as Aika chose a peach crepe for herself as well as a strawberry crepe for Nana. The little girl was starting to look a lot more comfortable with the two girls now, enjoying the view up in Linlin’s arms (although it really wans’t that high up), and savoring the taste of her crepe. Soon, the company arrived in the center to report a lost girl.
“Could you make an announcement for the mother of this girl to come pick her up?” Aika asked the employee at the front desk.
“Her name is Nana,” Linlin added on.
“Nanami-chan?”
Aika and Linlin turned around to see a young woman, standing up from the bench. Nanami also turned around and smiled.
“Mama!” the toddler exclaimed, squirming to get out of Linlin’s arms. The panda set her down on her feet and the girl was racing off. “Mama!”
“Nanami!” the young woman yelled, a big smile stretching across her face. She knelt down and opened her arms just in time to bring her daughter into a tight hug. “Oh, Nanami! Where did you run off to? I was so worried about you…”
“Aw~ I love happy endings!” Linlin sobbed, sniffling.
“Yokatta ne?” Aika grinned. “It’s good that Nana-chan found her mama.”
“How could I ever repay you two?” the young woman said, lifting her daughter up. “At least let me compensate for the crepe, you really didn’t have to buy her that…”
“No, it’s okay!” Linlin said, shaking her head. “I’m happy to have shared the sweetness of my favorite dessert with someone! I think she liked it too, right, Nana-chan?”
“Crepe daisuki!” the toddler giggled, taking another bite out of her food.
Everybody laughed as they said their farewells and another round of thanks. Aika and Linlin left the childcare center holding hands, feeling pretty satisfied with their day so far.
“We don’t have much time left,” Aika said, checking her cell phone. “Let’s try to fit in a couple more rides!”
“Ikou, ikou!” Linlin agreed, as the two girls sprang into a quick jog again towards the main park area.
As they approached the next ride that had caught their eye, an attraction that took them through Snow White’s Adventures, the two students noticed a small commotion near the center of the park. Upon closer observation, they realized that a couple guys were harassing two high school girls, trying to get them to go along with them.
“Come on, ladies, we can show you a good time,” one of the boys said, laughing.
“Stop it, let us go!” the girls yelled in reply.
“Now, don’t be fussy,” another guys cackled. “Come with us. We can all have fun together.”
As the boy grabbed one of the girl’s wrist and tried to pull her into a hug (or more like a grope), he felt the back of is collar being pulled on hard, putting him off balance and making him almost fall backwards. All the attention directed towards the small girl that had pulled his shirt, who was now glaring at all the boys.
“Oi… didn’t you hear what they were saying?” Aika growled, glaring menacingly. “They said that they didn’t want to go with jerks like you!”
“What the hell is this kid saying?” one of the boys said angrily. “Run along, kids, we don’t have time to pay with elementary schoolers.”
“How rude!” Linlin gasped. “We’re already high schoolers, you know!”
“Yeah, and I’m warning you,” Aika continued, scowling. “You really don’t want to mess with me.”
“What the hell did you say?!” The boy that had previously grabbed one of the girls’ wrist charged towards Aika furiously. He threw a punch at her head but the yankii girl easily ducked away from the arm. She then twisted her body just enough to send her heel flying towards the boy’s ear, kicking him hard enough to make him drop to the ground. His other friends’ mouthes dropped open as well as the girls that were being harassed marveled at little Mittsi’s strength.
“Aika, that was great!” Linlin cheered.
“So… anybody daring enough to go next?” Aika beckoned with her hands, smiling sweetly.
“Why you little…!”
The second boy ran towards his opponent, ready to send a kick. But Aika blocked it with her forearm before shooting a punch with her other hand. The boy turned his head away just in time to save his face, but that move left him open for another one of Aika’s knee-kicks towards his stomach. The guy staggered back, clutching his paining abdomen, coughing.
“Hey, watch out!” one of the girls yelled.
“Aika, duck!” Linlin yelled.
The yankii obeyed promptly and crouched towards the ground. She saw her girlfriend speeding towards her before she felt Linlin’s foot against her shoulder. Linlin pushed herself up into the air and sent a kick towards the boy who was about to ambush Aika from her back, and sent him to the ground with his other knocked-out friends.
“Linlin, sugoii!” Aika exclaimed, holding her hand up for a high-five.
“I always got your back,” the panda said proudly, slapping her girlfriend’s hand and holding on to it.
“L-let’s get outta here!” one of the guys said to his friends. The boys got up and limped away as fast as they could, afraid that their opponent may attack them again.
“Yeah, you better run!” Linlin shouted, waving her fist. “You should be thankful I didn’t pull out my—”
“Linlin, not in public!” Aika interrupted, her eyes widening.
“Whoops,” the panda said, quickly covering her mouth. It was never good to announce publicly the fact that she was hiding weapons under her skirt.
“Onee-chan,” Aika said, addressing the high school girls who had been harassed. “You have to be careful of these kinds of jerks when you’re so pretty; they’re everywhere these days!”
“Okay, we’ll be careful,” the two girls giggled. “Thank you for helping us out!”
“That was pretty refreshing,” Linlin sighed, watching the two girls walk away. “I feel like I just let all my stress out.”
“Me too,” Aika grinned. “I really hate jerks like that… So, what’s next on our list?”
“Um… Actually…” the panda hesitated, “I think our time is up.”
“Huh?”
“I got a text from Jun-senpai while you were fighting and, well, she wants us to meet her at the park right now,” Linlin said carefully.
“Right now?” Aika asked, pouting. “But… but we just got here!”
“Actually,” Linlin sighed, “it’s already almost dinner time…”
Aika raised her eyebrows as she quickly took out her cell phone form her pocket. It really was nearing six o’clock! And she hadn’t really noticed but the sun was setting already as well, leaving the sky dyed orange.
“Mou~!” Mittsi whined, frustrated. “But we only got to go on one ride!”
“But we still had a productive day, I think,” Linlin said, trying to remain optimistic. “And we can always come back. I think I should get one of those annual passes too.”
“Yeah, you should!” Aika exclaimed, smiling widely. “Then we can come here all the time together!”
“Then let’s leave now, no regrets!” the panda grinned. “Jun-senpai and Shige-san are waiting for us.”
“Okay, let’s go!” Aika said cheerily, taking her girlfriend’s hand. She gave a quick peck on Linlin’s lips and smiled, leaving the panda stunned. “Linlin saikou! Everyday, I think you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Arigatou!”
“… Psht! Maa maa… sonna… psht!” Linlin stuttered, trying to remain nonchalant but failing miserably. “That’s not really… I mean… psht! … Mittsi is the best to me too!” She gave a thumbs-up in the end, her cheeks dyed with pink, causing her girlfriend to laugh.
** ** **
“Ugh! What’s really taking them so long?” Junjun complained, stopping the swing that Sayumi was on.
“It’s only been a couple minutes,” the bunny said, looking up at her girlfriend. “And why are you being so impatient? That’s not like you.”
“It’s because I’m hungry!” the panda groaned, wrapping her arms around the swing chains and Sayumi with it. She placed her chin on her lover’s head and sighed. “I haven’t eaten anything in a while.”
The yankii leader had been pushing her girlfriend on the swing sets in the park, waiting for her lackys to show up. But the small wait was enough to tick her off today, because she had unfortunately run out of bananas at her house and wasn’t able to have her daily dose of her favorite food.
“Look!” Sayumi yelled, pointing at the entrance of the fenced-in playground. “Here they come now!”
“Gomen~!” Aika yelled, skipping into the sand box with her girlfriend’s arm linked with her own. “Did you wait long?”
“Yeah, we waited forever!” Junjun shot.
“Not really. That was actually pretty fast, considering you’re coming all the way from Disneyland,” Sayumi shrugged.
“What were you guys doing anyway?” Junjun asked. “When I texted you guys, Linlin said Aika was taking care of something…?”
“We had so much fun today, Senpai!” Linlin exclaimed. “You and Shige-san should have come too! It was amazing!”
“I took another picture with Mickey Mouse for my collection,” Aika blabbered, “and then we went on the spinning tea cups and we were spinning so fast—”
“And then we got off and we still couldn’t really see where we were going,” Linlin chatted along, “and then we saw this cute little girl who lost her mama—”
“And her name was Nana-chan and we had to find her mama—”
“And we even bought her a crepe while we were at it and then we took her to the child-care center—”
“And Nana-chan found her mama and her mama offered to pay for the crepe but Linlin refused because she’s just wonderful like that—”
“And then we came across these jerks that were harassing a couple girls and Aika beat them all up—”
“And one of them tried to get me from behind but Linlin got rid of him for me too—”
“IT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!” the panda finished, a big grin stretched out across her face.
“Well, sounds like you guys did a lot of good things today,” Junjun smirked. “Sometimes, I feel like you guys forget that we’re actually yankiis? You know, like, gang members? That usually do… you know… bad things?”
“… Well… I think I accidently stepped on Mickey’s foot at one point?” Aika offered, smiling nervously. “I mean, I was too excited…”
“Yeah… and I think maybe we were spinning fast enough to make the next teacup people get even dizzier…?” Linlin guessed, shrugging.
“And… I made Nana-chan cry even more at one point!” Aika claimed, nodding.
“Yeah, yeah!” Linlin agreed quickly. “And… I’m pretty sure those jerks that we beat up will probably need to go to the hospital to get their bruises checked out…”
“Yeah, you guys are really bad,” Junjun laughed.
“Well, a yankii is a yankii also because she lives the way she wants, right?” Aika insisted. “And we’re living the way we want!”
“Yeah! Jiyuujin da yo!” Linlin chimed in. “We’re free people!”
“Yeah, yeah, do what you want and think what you want,” Junjun grinned. “But for now, can we please go get something to eat?”
“Oh yeah, I’m starving,” Linlin moaned.
“What should we have?” Aika asked.
“Ano…” Sayumi spoke up softly, slowly raising her hand. “Can we maybe have… udon?”
“Usa-chan!” Junjun gasped, smiling. “That’s not very ojou-sama-like, isn’t it? Udon is common food!”
“S-so what!” Sayumi argued, looking up at Junjun with a determined face. “If I like it, I can eat it! I’ll be a Jiyuujin too!”
“Welcome to our world, Shige-san!” Aika laughed, high-fiving Sayumi’s held up hand.
“Is this the start of the glorious Usa-chan revolution?” Linlin grinned, shrugging her shoulders up and down in excitement.
“Usa-chan Revolution?” Sayumi asked, confused. “What’s that?”
“It’s something that you don’t have to worry about currently,” Junjun said quickly. “We’ll go eat first, okay?” The older panda glared at her lackeys who had guilt written all over their faces. You guys are hopeless…
Aika and Linlin looked at each other with wide eyes and shrugged together. Then they just grinned as they grabbed each other’s hands. Yes, they were hopeless. But they were hopeless together. And that’s what made them so perfect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And there you go! Some spotlight on AikaLin! :D
And next up is TanaKame, because I planned a couple more chapters after this... I didn't hit a complete wall yet :P
:byebye: :sleep:
-
AHHH!!! FIRST!
Will be back to reply later.
“Linlin, your skirt is flying up!” Aika warned, tryng to run faster.
“It’s okay, I’m wearing shorts underneath!” the panda laughed.
“I’m not talking about that!” Aika yelled out. “I’m talking about your knives!”
Just started and I'm already lol'ing. :lol:
These little moments were what made the two feel as though they belonged together.
:wub:
“Me too,” the panda grinned. “Okay, then. Act more mature… Be like an adult, right?”
“Yup,” Aika nodded. “Be more—KYAAAAH! MICKEY MOUSE!”
You were saying? XD
As Aika stepped closer and placed her hands on the panda’s shoulder, Linlin immediately turned her head and planted a quick kiss on her girlfriend’s lips.
Daww, that's so sweet. :inlove:
“Aw~ I love happy endings!” Linlin sobbed, sniffling.
“Yokatta ne?” Aika grinned. “It’s good that Nana-chan found her mama.”
Yay, that's good!
“L-let’s get outta here!” one of the guys said to his friends. The boys got up and limped away as fast as they could, afraid that their opponent may attack them again.
Wow, it was a productive day. :P
She gave a quick peck on Linlin’s lips and smiled, leaving the panda stunned. “Linlin saikou! Everyday, I think you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Arigatou!”
Does it make me a bad person if I say I wanna see them get a little less... Innocent? XD
“Sometimes, I feel like you guys forget that we’re actually yankiis? You know, like, gang members? That usually do… you know… bad things?”
She's one to talk. :lol:
Aika and Linlin looked at each other with wide eyes and shrugged together. Then they just grinned as they grabbed each other’s hands. Yes, they were hopeless. But they were hopeless together. And that’s what made them so perfect.

My parents decided to go on a mini vacation since I'm home for spring break, so I'll be on the road for the next two days.
I'm not sure if the hotel we're staying at has internet so I'm not sure if I'll be able to update.
But I'll make sure to write every moment, and I can still read things wherever I am, through my phone, so I'm not completely cut off from civilization :nervous
But on the bright side, I had an epiphany and I know EXACTLY which way to take this story now, all the way to the very end :twothumbs
Please wait for my return~~ :D

I'm BACK~~ :cow:
And with a new chapter :D
if it seems a little cut-off and not flowing smoothly, it's because I wrote it on the course of 3-4 days so... yeah, sorry about that :nervous

Chapter 51
“Don’t forget to lock the door behind you,” Reina reminded her girlfriend, as she took her shoes off and shuffled into the kitchen.
Eri did as she was told before following the kitten into the next room. She dropped her school bags and settled into one of the tall chairs by the counter, keeping the silence. After their snack at the burger place, Reina had just wanted to go home alone and rest but Eri had begged and insisted on coming over again. The kitten almost lost her self-control once more but she stayed calm. The turtle could tell Reina was really trying to seem normal as possible but she knew that it was obviously not so. There was definitely something that Reina was hiding and it had to do with that envelope. And Eri was determined to get to the bottom of this secret tonight.
“Do you want something to drink?” Reina offered. “I have water, juice, lemonade…”
“Just water, thanks,” Eri answered. She figured a quick drink before the start of her nerve-wrecking “mission” wouldn’t be so bad.
The kitten took out a glass from the cupboard and filled it with the water from a jug on the counter. She then handed it to her girlfriend, trying to force a small, polite smile. Eri didn’t really appreciate that; she knew Reina was in a bad mood anyway, so she preferred that her lover would consider her trustworthy enough to just let her true feelings pour out. But the ex-yankii was obviously trying to stay well-guarded today.
“Arigatou,” Eri nodded, taking a sip from the glass. She carefully watched Reina’s movements, trying keep tabs on her so she in return wouldn’t be caught off guard.
The kitten walked over to the fridge and opened it to observe whatever was inside. She looked around for a while before closing the door and heading towards one of the cabinets instead. She took out a thin box from the cabinet and stared it at before turning around to face the turtle.
“Are you okay with instant curry?” Reina asked, holding up the box.
“Huh?” Eri replied, confused.
“For dinner,” the kitten clarified. “I don’t have any ingredients so we’ll have to settle on instant curry. Is that alright?”
“Oh, yeah, that’s fine,” Eri said, nodding quickly. “I’m just… uh… gonna use the bathroom.”
With that, the turtle carefully got up from the tall chair and casually walked out of the kitchen. As soon as she knew she was out of sight, Eri dashed up the stairs as swiftly and silently as possible. Instead of the bathroom, she headed towards the opposite end of the hallway, to Reina’s room. She walked in to the neat bedroom and closed the door quietly behind her.
Instant curry. That only gave Eri a minimum of five minutes and a maximum of ten. But in this kind of situation, it was always better to calculate time by the worst possible case. So five minutes was all the turtle had to complete her “mission”. It was not going to be an easy task.
So where would a girl normally hide something important to her? Probably somewhere deep and cozy yet easily accessible, especially when the item was something small like an envelope. So it probably wouldn’t be in the closet. Taking her chances, Eri headed over to the kitten’s large bed and searched underneath. Everything was nice and clean. She got on her feet again before the bedside table with a small drawer caught her eye. She opened it immediately to only find a couple bracelets and scraps of paper inside. Failure again.
The turtle started to look around more frantically now. Approximately two minutes had probably already passed, so there wasn’t much time left. Where else could that envelope be? If it were Eri herself… well, that thought wasn’t worth much since she herself would’ve probably carelessly tossed it somewhere in the corner of her room. But Reina, who kept her entire house white and plain, who liked being neat about things, wouldn’t have done such a thing.
Then, it hit her. Of course, why didn’t she think of this before? Reina wouldn’t have tried to hide it on purpose, when she was under the impression that her room was a safe zone, inaccessible to all but herself. She wouldn’t have even dreamt of her girlfriend sneaking in. So chances were, the envelope may actually be somewhere very obvious, in plain sight. Eri skittered over to Reina’s tidy desk, clean and empty all except for a white laptop and a white envelope in front of it. Bingo.
Eri carefully lifted the envelope and looked at the names on the front. It was addressed to Tanak Reina, from Tanaka Koichi. Junjun had been right; it was a letter from Reina’s father. So this envelope may very well contain all the secrets that her girlfriend had been hiding… the main problem that had bothered her so much and caused her to reveal her cold side. Swallowing hard, Eri flipped over the envelope and slowly opened the flap.
“What a bad girl you are, Kamei Eri.”
The turtle jumped at the sound of a familiar voice in her ear that sent chills down her spine. Before she could turn around, she felt a pair of arms slip around her waist, holding her tightly in her place.
“R-Reina…” Eri stammered, trying to calm herself down. “When did you come in?”
“Just now,” the kitten purred, kissing her girlfriend’s ear. “You were so engrossed in digging through my things that you didn’t even hear me call you down for dinner.”
Eri bit down on her bottom lip. She could feel Reina’s presence and aura all around her but it wasn’t that of affection. Her voice was cold rather than having the usual warmth and sweetness to it. Her touch was almost foreign around her waist, slipping around her stomach, almost like a predator circling a prey and figuring out just how to kill it.
“Didn’t you ever learn that you should never trespass in another person’s bedroom without their permission?” Reina continued, practically shooting knives with her voice. “It’s an invasion of privacy, Eri. It’s not nice.”
“I just needed to know,” the turtle said quietly, still holding on to the envelope with the open flap. “You weren’t telling me anything so I took the liberty of trying to find out things on my own.”
“If it was a matter that concerned you, don’t you think I would’ve told you?” Reina whispered. “What a bad thing to do… and bad girls need to be punished.”
Suddenly, Eri felt her ear being sucked on by a familiar pair of lips as she moaned quietly. Reina flicked her tongue over the ear over and over again, illicting slurping sounds that echoed throughout her girlfriend’s ear. She gently nibbled on it for a while, causing Eri gasp. She was beginning to think that if this was the kitten’s idea of punishment, maybe she should break into her room more often.
However, the pleasure was soon overtaken by pain when Reina slipped her hand under her shirt and practically dug her nails into her skin. Eri let out a loud yelp, squirming to get out of her girlfriend’s hold. But Reina continued to kiss her ears as she dragged her nails across the turtle’s stomach, illiciting more whimpers from her. As Eri grew more distracted, the kitten took the envelope that was clutched in her lover’s hands and backed away a couple steps. Eri immediately turned around with her arms hugging her waist, the feeling of slight pain visibly showing on her face.
“I can’t believe you, Eri,” Reina growled. Her fury was still under control but it could blow at any minute. “You actually broke into my room to take this? How am I supposed to trust you now?”
“Well, you didn’t trust me enough to tell me what’s up so I thought I would take the chance!” Eri argued back, feeling brave. Since things had already gone this way, it was now or never. And she chose now to face Reina’s secret.
“Nothing’s up, Eri!” Reina shouted, placing her hand on her forehead and shutting her eyes. “I told you I was fine, didn’t I?”
“Yeah, and what a big surprise that nobody believed such an obvious lie,” Eri said sarcastically. “Come on, Reina, I know you better than that.”
“You don’t know anything about me.”
Eri froze as her eyes widened. Reina had said a lot of hurtful things throughout the last couple days but none of those topped this one. No, these words were the worst not only because it hit the exact point that the turtle had been struggling with in this relationship, but alsot because it was true. Compared to the things that Reina had told her about her past, there was so much more that she wasn’t saying to Eri. And the pain of knowing that hurt a lot more than the scratches on her belly now.
“… I know about Kaneda Tetsuya-san,” Eri said quietly, trying to hide her weakness. “I know that he’s your father’s right-hand man. And I know that whatever is in that envelope is from your father and that it’s not a pleasant greetings card.”
“How did you…?” Reina blinked a couple times before narrowing her eyes in realization. “Junjun.”
“Yeah, I’m not too happy about Junjun telling me this either,” Eri continued. “Don’t you find it sad that I have to go to a different person to find out about my own girlfriend’s personal relations? I didn’t like having to ask Junjun, Reina, I wanted you to be the one to tell me. But you obviously have a habit of keeping hardships to yourself, so I had to take charge.”
“So you broke into my room and went through all my things?” Reina laughed dryly. “Did background research? Isn’t that a little low?”
“This is more than just that envelope now!” Eri yelled. “It’s about you not opening your heart to me!”
Silence took over the room. Reina’s eyes widened as she stared at her girlfriend who was gazing back at her with desperation. Eri swallowed hard as she took a couple steps forward to come face-to-face with the shocked kitten.
“Why won’t you let me get closer to you?” Eri whispered, trying to keep her voice even. “Why can’t you be the one to tell me everything about you? I want to know you, Reina. I see you and I hear you but there’s more to you than just that. I don’t want you, I want all of you. Including this.”
Eri place her hand gently upon her girlfriend’s left chest, right where she could feel the fast beating of a closed heart. Reina’s eyes wandered around a little before closing. She sighed to slow down her heart with not much success. She then held her lover’s hand and pressed it against her chest more, taking in the warmth.
“… I just want to keep you safe,” she whispered shakily. “I don’t want you to see my ugly side; I want everything about us to be perfect.”
“Perfection isn’t creation, it’s a sense of being,” Eri smiled. “You can’t force it out. It’s something that is built naturally. And we’ve been perfect since the time we’ve met because we’ve been together. Whether it’s joy or distress, I want you to share it with me. Let me be a part of all your life, Reina, not just the sugar-coated moments, but the sour and painful ones too.”
“… You’re right,” Reina said finally, smiling a little. “I was so used to being on my own that I’ve been forgetting the fact that I’m yours now too. I’m sorry, Eri.”
“Don’t mind,” Eri laughed, hugging her girlfriend. “Just give me a kiss and all is forgiven. I’ve been missing that.”
“Me too,” Reina admitted, grinning. She lifted her head to share the sweet sensation that both lovers had been missing. They kissed a couple times, softly chuckling a couple times, before they held each other’s hands and walked over to sit on the bed.
“So,” Eri sighed, “tell me what’s going on.”
“You can see for yourself,” Reina said, handing the envelope to the turtle.
Eri opened the flap again and took out a piece of folded paper. She opened it and was presented with a date followed by a very short message and a signature.
“‘I will be visiting you in a week’s time. Tanaka Koichi’…” Eri blinked before wrinkling her eyebrows. She flipped over the letter but there was nothing there. “That’s… it?”
“That’s all he needs to say,” Reina shrugged. “His message got through.”
“And… what exactly is it that intimidates you?”
“Three things,” Reina started. “One, he sent a letter. He never does that; he usually sends a fax if he needs something or lets one of his secretaries call me. Two, the person who brought the letter is Kaneda, the person he trusts the most, which is really unusual for him to do as well. And three… he’s coming over. He’s never done that before either, Eri, we haven’t met ever since he first kicked me out. What could he possibly want?”
“Maybe he just wants to talk?” Eri suggested, trying to look to the bright side.
“Papa wouldn’t come all the way to Tokyo just to talk,” Reina sighed. “He definitely wants something.”
Eri noticed her girlfriend’s hands starting to tremble. Reina bit down on her lip as she took quick but deep breaths. The turtle placed her own hand on top of Reina’s, causing the kitten to turn her head towards her.
“Are you scared?” Eri asked quietly.
“… Un…” Reina admitted, nodding slowly. “It’s just that… there’s so many things that he could ask for yet I don’t know any of the possibilities. It’s really unsettling.”
“It’s okay,” Eri said, smiling warmly. “I’m right here. And that’s not going to change.”
She stroked her lover’s cheek as Reina’s trembling slowly came to a halt. The petit girl took deep breaths to calm herself down before she hugged her girlfriend. She whispered words of thanks into her ears and held her tighter. Eri angled herself to the side a little more to put her in a better position to return the embrace. She ran her fingers through Reina’s long brown hair as she squinted a little.
“Ah… Reina?”
“Hm?”
“I think you’re hugging me a little too tightly… my stomach hurts…”
“Why does your stomach— OH MY GOSH.”
Reina immediately backed away with wide eyes and lifted up her girlfriend’s shirt. Eri gasped in surprise but that didn’t throw off the ex-yankii one bit. Reina stared at Eri’s smooth skin that was now lined with pink scratch marks across.
“I am so sorry!” the kitten apologized, her guilt visibly displayed on her face. “I… I didn’t know I was doing it so hard… I mean… I’m really sorry!”
“It’s fine, Reina,” Eri chuckled. “It’ll heal by itself, don’t worry about it.”
“Are you sure? Do you want some ointment or something?”
“Relax, Reina, I’m fine.”
“… Here, lie down for a while.”
Before Eri could protest, Reina pushed her girlfriend down on her bed and climbed on top of her legs. The turtle tried to get up but the kitten only pushed her back down.
“Reina, I’m really—”
“Just stay still for a moment,” Reina purred, a small laughter in her voice. “Don’t move, okay?”
With that, the kitten started to trail soft kiss along the scratch marks, tracing the pink lines across her lover’s belly. Eri gasped softly before her voice dropped into a moan. The sensation of having the warm kisses upon her aching skin felt good and relaxing. Soon, Reina started to use her tongue instead of just her lips, slowly licking the bruises. Once again, Eri let out a sigh as she bit down on her lip and closed her eyes. Reina let out a soft giggle as she continued her healing work. She slowly worked her way up, pushing up Eri’s shirt along until her chest was bared, cover with her white undergarment. But Reina climbed further up to meet her girlfriend’s awaiting lips, plunging her tongue in first. Eri rolled over amidst the kiss, taking charge of the make-out session. Reina wrapped her arms around her girlfriend’s neck, reluctant to let go.
“We should eat dinner…” Eri mumbled into their kiss.
“I’m not hungry if you’re not,” Reina answered back, breathing hard.
“I have to get home before it gets dark…”
“Don’t leave,” Reina whined softly, keeping her hold around the turtle firm and strong. “Please stay with me tonight… I need you.”
“Is that a full invitation?” Eri asked.
“… You want it to be?” Reina said a little hesitantly. “I mean… if you want…”
“It’s okay,” Eri laughed softly. “Don’t push yourself. We’ll just treat it as another experiment. How’s that sound?”
“I’d like that,” Reina giggled. “Thanks, Eri.”
“Thank you, Reina,” Eri answered back before diving in for another kiss. Thank you for letting me into your life… and for stepping into mine.

Ah, I'm glad the letter mission wasn't a total disaster as we all expected :nervous
“What a bad girl you are, Kamei Eri.”
...
“What a bad thing to do… and bad girls need to be punished.”
Naughty :twisted:
However, the pleasure was soon overtaken by pain when Reina slipped her hand under her shirt and practically dug her nails into her skin.
:shocked Dang... this is her first response?? This would have been kinda hot in another situation... If you know what I mean ;)
I wonder what her father wants all of a sudden :? Is he dying?! Something to do with the company?? Arranged marriage??!? :panic:
Thanks for updating even on your break! :thumbup :thumbup

Haha..Punishments are good! :drool: :lol:
Reina finally opened up! :cow: Thank God. Why do I sense that Reina's father is having "something" arranged for her that might cause her to part with Eri? :O Just a feeling. :roll:
I love that hawt bit at the end. :mon blood:
Of course I'm into it! :grin: Like always! :roll: The convo was a bit moving in this chappie. :cry:

And dang it! I was going to be first, but I kept on adding stuff. XD

is he going to marry her daughter to some wealthy man.

Ah... so finally we get to know the content of the mysterious letter XD
“What a bad girl you are, Kamei Eri.”
I knew she's going to get caught :lol:
Reina's punishment :shocked thank God the turtle just got some minor scratch :lol:
finally Reina opens up :D
“It’s okay,” Eri said, smiling warmly. “I’m right here. And that’s not going to change.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 52
“And so, we’re starting a new project,” Junjun announced, “called ‘Usa-chan Revolution’!”
Sayumi froze as she stared at her girlfriend across the table with wide eyes. The noodle that she was about to eat slipped through her chopsticks and plopped back down into the bowl. Aika and Linlin clapped enough for fifty people on either side of the bunny, cheering on their leader’s presentation.
The gang had been eating udon at Sayumi’s request at the yankii leader’s home. It was a small, two-bedroom apartment where the living room and the kitchen was basically same thing. At this time, they would normally be at Reina’s home but after realizing how bad of a mood the kitten was in that afternoon, the yankii leader had decided not to take a chance with her. So the four girls were sitting around a small round table on the floor, eating the dinner that was in a large pot in the middle.
“U-usa-chan Revolution?” Sayumi laughed nervously. “Um… what exactly is that?”
“Just like I explained before,” Junjun grinned. “Usa-chan is too quiet! In order to be a yankii like us, you need to be more social.”
“Since when am I a yankii?” the bunny asked, confused.
“Since you became our leader’s girlfriend, that’s when,” Aika laughed.
“That doesn’t make me a yankii!” Sayumi yelled.
“So in order for our schoolmates to accept you as part of our group,” Junjun continued, ignoring her girlfriend’s disagreements, “we’re going to make you a social BOMB.”
“BAM!”
“KYA!”
Sayumi jumped as she backed away from Linlin who had banged the table and suddenly shoved her face in to scare her. Aika caught her from behind and hugged her as she laughed at the younger panda’s prank.
“We’re going to make you a star, Shige-san!” Aika exclaimed. “I’m so excited for this.”
“We’re going to teach you how to be popular!” Linlin chimed in. “Just trust us and relax as we create a new you!”
“Um… I think you guys watched too many dramas…” Sayumi said, laughing nervously. “Junjun, say something…?”
“You’re gonna make so many friends, Usa-chan,” the older panda grinned, obviously having no intention to help out her girlfriend whatsoever. “Just do as we say.”
“I… I don’t need to be more social!” Sayumi protested, breaking out of Aika’s hug and standing up. “I have you guys… and I’m satisfied with just that.”
“Aww, Shige-san!” Aika said, making a puppy-dog face. “Did you hear that Linlin?”
“I heard it, alright,” Linlin said, sniffling. “That really warms our heart, Shige-san!”
“But we’re still continuing with the project!” Junjun announced, jumping to her feet. “Girls, clear the space!”
Immediately, Aika and Linlin lifted the small table and slid it over to the corner of the kitchen. Junjun pulled Sayumi towards her and sat her back down on the floor as she sank down in front of her. The younger girls soon crawled over and sat on either side of the bunny as well.
“Girls are such simple beings, Usa-chan,” Junjun lectured, stroking her chin. “As long as you’re kind to them, they’ll come flocking over to you.”
“For some reason, I’m not very relived to hear those words from you,” Sayumi glared.
“Wrong answer!” Aika yelled, causing the bunny to cringe. “Jealousy isn’t pretty, Shige-san.”
“Be more confident in Jun-senpai’s love for you,” Linlin added in, “and in your love for her.”
“Continuing on,” Junjun said, clearing her throat. “The main problem right with you is that whatever your classmates say, you retort back with insults.”
“Nobody likes a poison-tongue character,” Aika nodded.
“Unless you’re a celebrity,” Linlin smiled.
“But you’re not, so we gotta fix that,” Junjun grinned. “So here’s your mission: tomorrow morning, you’re going to start off your school day by saying something nice to one of your classmates.”
“It can be a compliment about their hair,” Aika started, “their make-up, their jewelry…”
“They’re clothes, their shoes, their socks…” Linlin listed.
“No, you can’t compliment them on their clothes,” Aika interrupted, raising an eyebrow. “We wear uniforms, Linlin, we all wear the same thing.”
“Oh, right,” the younger panda scratched her head. “My bad.”
“There’s still a lot of things to praise them about besides their fashion,” Junjun smiled. “It’s not that difficult. You can do it… right, Usa-chan?”
“…I… I don’t know…” Sayumi hesitated. “I’ve tried being… you know… friendly before… but I always blank out…”
“Just be more natural about it, love,” Junjun suggested. “If you see something you like in the classroom, and it belongs to someone, tell them that you like it. It’s that simple.”
“Be more honest with yourself,” Aika advised. “Smile if you want to rather than frowning.”
“Don’t be afraid to keep your head up!” Linlin encouraged. “Be proud of who you are; there’s absolutely nothing that you should be scared of.”
“I-I’m not scared!” Sayumi argued, crossing her arms while nervously looking around. “I… I just don’t feel the need to necessarily socialize with those other girls.”
“Let’s up the stakes a bit then,” Junjun grinned, taking her girlfriend’s hands. “How about another game?”
“… What are you thinking of?” the bunny asked, deciding to give this new idea a chance.
“If you can hold on to your evil tongue for the entire school day tomorrow,” the panda offered, “I’ll give you a reward.”
“What kind of reward?”
“Hm… How about I give you a preview?”
Junjun smirked as she quickly attacked the unsuspecting bunny for a kiss. Sayumi blinked furiously as she tried to push her girlfriend away, but the yankii leader was obviously stronger. She let out moans of protest but Junjun only held onto the back of Sayumi’s head to keep her in place. Aika let out a whistle as Linlin’s mouth dropped open from the shock of seeing the live action up close. When the older panda insterted her tongue into the bunny’s mouth, Sayumi finally came to her last resort and slapped her girlfriend across the face.
“Ow!” Junjun jumped back, rubbing her cheek. “Itai… that hurt!”
“It’s your fault for kissing me like that!” Sayumi yelled, her face turning red. “We’re not the only ones here, you know!”
“Oh, we don’t really mind, you can continue,” Aika shrugged.
“I think Shige-san should slap Jun-senpai again,” Linlin suggested. “That’s not something you see everyday.”
“You guys are all ridiculous!” Sayumi groaned. She quickly got up to her feet and headed for the front door. “Who would want such a reward? Baka!”
The bunny shoved her feet into her shoes and walked out of the apartment, slamming the door behind. Junjun let out a whistle as she continued to rub her cheek.
“I think you should stop teasing her, senpai,” Aika said slowly. “She looks really embarassed.”
“But that’s what makes her so cute,” Junjun grinned. “I guess I was a bit cruel there…”
Suddenly, the front door burst open again to reveal the black-haired girl once more. All three yankii girls turned to look at Sayumi, who was staring at the floor.
“You’re back, Shige-san?” Linlin asked. “What’s wrong?”
“… I don’t know my way back home,” Sayumi muttered, avoiding eye contact with her girlfriend. Junjun burst into laughter as Aika and Linlin just sighed and smiled.
“I guess it can’t be helped,” Junjun chuckled, standing up. “Come on; I’ll walk you home.”
The yankii leader offered her hand to the bunny who stared at the hand for a while as though she was calculating something. Finally, Sayumi willingly placed her hand in her lover’s, entwining their fingers together. Junjun grinned down at her girlfriend who looked away immediately, still not willing to forgive her for the past misdeed. But both of them knew that neither of them could live without the other now. They were fated to always come back to each other, no matter what.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

:byebye:

Darn that was fast!
Chapter 51
Begin Operation Snoop Through The Scary Ex-Yankii's Stuff! Yeah, this will end well.
“What a bad girl you are, Kamei Eri.”
Normally, this would get a drool, but it kind of scares me. Reina wouldn't really hurt Eri.... Right?
However, the pleasure was soon overtaken by pain when Reina slipped her hand under her shirt and practically dug her nails into her skin. Eri let out a loud yelp, squirming to get out of her girlfriend’s hold. But Reina continued to kiss her ears as she dragged her nails across the turtle’s stomach, illiciting more whimpers from her.
:panic: :panic:
Thank you for letting me into your life… and for stepping into mine.
Is this really the end of Scary!Reina?
Chapter 52
“And so, we’re starting a new project,” Junjun announced, “called ‘Usa-chan Revolution’!”
Oh wow. :lol:
“I have you guys… and I’m satisfied with just that.”
:wub:
“If you can hold on to your evil tongue for the entire school day tomorrow,” the panda offered, “I’ll give you a reward.”
Well, that's one way to get this to work.
Aika let out a whistle as Linlin’s mouth dropped open from the shock of seeing the live action up close.
:lol: :lol: Maybe getting some ideas? :lol: :lol:
But both of them knew that neither of them could live without the other now. They were fated to always come back to each other, no matter what.
That's sweet. :inlove: :inlove:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 53
The humming of an unfamiliar tune resonated in the bathroom as Eri organized her bangs and patted her hair down. She wasn’t really sure what song she was thinking of either but she didn’t really care as long as it was a happy tune. The previous night that she had spent with her girlfriend felt like a dream; they hadn’t gone all the way but the couple had gotten further than any other times. The way Reina had held on entire night, reluctant to let go of their embrace, had made a very happy turtle out of Eri. And the sight that she had woken up to— with Reina opening up the curtains to let a little bit of sunlight in while she her body was draped with only a blanket— had made Eri feel as though she had spotted an angel.
Eri made sure nothing was stuck in her teeth in the mirror and ran her fingers through her hair as a last-minute check before her first class. Her hair was getting longer now; it was going beyond her shoulders and collarbones. Soon, it would be long enough to prevent anyone from mistaking her for a boy again. Somehow, it was almost nostalgic having the boyish, short hairstyle. After all, she and the lover of her life would’ve never gotten this far if Eri had always kept her hair long.
“… Nee, did you hear that rumor about Gaki-san?”
Eri turned her head towards the new pair of voices coming from the entrance of the restroom. Someone was talking about Risa? Whether it be good or bad, they were sure to cut off the conversation when they saw Eri, the bean’s best friend, in the bathroom.
So the turtle swiftly hid in one of the stalls, curious as to what was about to be said. She heard two girls walking in and stopping in front of the sink. She heard the clatter of make-up being pulled out as they continued their gossip.
“You mean Iinchou?” the second girl with a deeper voice asked. “What about her?”
“Eh~ you haven’t heard yet?” the first girl said, surprised. “You know, the thing about Takahashi-sensei and Gaki-san! Whenever sensei disappears, Gaki-san does too; they’re never seen by themselves during lunch time, break time, in between classes…”
Sounds like Tokunaga-chan from our class… Eri thought to herself, listening intently. And the other girl… Sudou-chan?
“Ah, I’ve heard of that!” Maasa exclaimed. “People are saying that Gaki-san is a major teacher’s pet for Takahashi-sensei. She’s even seen less with Kamei-chan from our class now.”
“I know! And I thought they were best friends…”
“Maybe they had a fight?”
That’s because Risa is always with Takahashi-sensei! Eri thought, rolling her eyes. And I’m usually texting Reina in the corner somewhere…
“Whatever the case,” Chinami continued, Gaki-san has always been a good student… But everyone’s talking about how she’s obsessed with Takahashi-sensei now.”
“Well, Sensei is really nice,” Maasa shrugged. “I mean, I like her a lot more than the other teachers too. She’s tough, but fair.”
“Yeah, I know, I like her too,” Chinami said. “But rumor has it that she’s actually in love with Sensei!” Eri’s breath hitched a little as she strained to hear more.
“No way,” Maasa laughed. “This isn’t some shoujo manga, Chii.”
“No, it’s true!” Chinami insisted. “Everyone’s talking about it! Some people are even saying that it’s a forbidden love between a teacher and a student now.”
“Eh… is that really possible?” Maasa wondered.
They have no idea how right they are… Eri thought, smiling nervously. Is Risa really making it that obvious?
“I don’t know, but it’s the hottest gossip right now in Haro Kotogakko,” Chinami sighed. “Personally, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with them dating. They’re only, what, six to seven years apart?”
“Woah there, I think you’re getting ahead of yourself there,” Maasa chuckled. “It’s still only a rumor. Iinchou is probably just doing her job, running errands for Sensei and stuff. She did the same thing for Iida-sensei too, didn’t she?”
“I guess…” Chinami mumbled. “But it’s still exciting to think about, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, yeah, you watch too many dramas,” Maasa grinned. “Come on, let’s get to class.”
Eri stayed as still as she could until she heard the footsteps disappear completely. Then, she walked out of the stall and quickly made her way to her homeroom. She had to let her friend know immediately what she had just heard and it couldn’t wait another minute.
The turtle walked into the classroom as normally as possible, trying not to seem panicked. She waved at her classmates and greeted her friends as she swiftly glided over to her seat. She spotted the bean already seated at her desk, unpacking the books that she needed for first period. Eri immediately plopped down into her chair, turned it to the side, and scooted over to her friend. Risa looked up and raised an eyebrow, confused by her turtle friend’s actions.
“You look like you have something to say,” she said, knowing the answer already.
“You know me well,” Eri nodded.
“If it’s about how you spent the night over at that Reina girl’s,” Risa groaned, “I don’t think I really want to hear it.” She definitely wasn’t in the mood to hear someone else’s lovey-dovey story about how everything was going so well, while she herself was stuck in a couple controversy with her own girlfriend of how her brain was rendered undeveloped.
“That’s what it was going to be about ten minutes ago,” Eri shrugged, “but not anymore.”
“… Okay, shoot,” Risa sighed, knowing she can’t stop her friend from talking anyway.
“Okay, okay,” Eri said, lowering her voice down to a whisper. “I just heard Tokunaga-chan and Sudou-chan gossiping in the bathroom.”
“From our class?” the bean asked.
“Shh! Not so loud!” Eri shushed. “And yes, from our class, who else?”
“You know, you really shouldn’t eavesdrop on private conversations,” Risa scolded.
“That’s not the main point right now, Risa-chan!” Eri whispered, rolling her eyes. “They were talking about the biggest gossip in the school right now: you and Takahashi-sensei!”
“Us?” Risa pointed at herself in confusion. “Why?”
“People are getting suspicious of how you two always disappear at the same time,” Eri explained. “They think you stick to Takahashi-sensei too much, like a teacher’s pet. So much, that they even think that we had a fight because we’re not hanging out as much as before.”
“Well, that really started ever since you got a girlfriend, didn’t it?” Risa said.
“Yeah, but here’s the thing,” Eri sighed. “Some people even think that you and Sensei are involved in a forbidden relationship.”
“… Somebody’s watching too many dramas,” Risa mumbled.
“Or, it’s getting to the point that people are starting to notice your relationship with Sensei,” Eri said hesitantly. “You have to be more careful, Risa-chan. Student rumors will always be rumors but if it gets big enough for people to start thinking of it as fact, the administration isn’t going to stay put. Both of you can get kicked out, do you understand?”
“I know that,” Risa whispered back, sighing. “I guess… I guess we’ll just have to be more careful. We’ll keep some distance between us at school.”
“Yeah, that’d be good,” Eri nodded. “I kind of have an idea how you two can spend time together, though.”
“What is it?” Risa asked, eager to get any alternatives to staying away from Sensei.
“Yes, what is it?” a differen voice asked.
“It’s that we can— AGH!”
Eri jumped back as Risa was also startled from the sudden appearance of their teacher. Ai smiled sweetly as she tapped on the desks of the two girls, silently ordering them to return to their seats. Risa turned her body towards the front as Eri scooted her seat back to its original place. Only then, did the two friends realize that the rest of the classroom was silent.
“I guess you didn’t hear the bell ring, Niigaki-san, Kamei-san,” Takahashi-sensei said pleasantly. “Once class starts, you must return to your task.”
“Sumimasen…” the two students said in unison.
“Well, we’ve already lost a little bit of time from that,” Ai sighed. “Let’s get started immediately. Minna-san, please turn to page 526 in your textbook.”
“I’ll tell you later,” Eri quickly said under her breath to the bean before taking out her book.
Risa silently nodded as she flipped the pages of the history book. She looked up at her teacher at the front of the room, writing the topic of the day on the chalkboard. She put the chalk down after she was done and dusted off her hands as she spotted her younger girlfriend staring at her. She smiled warmly and mouthed, “Ohayou” with a wink. Risa also smiled back, mouthing her own words of greeting.
But the heavy weight had already been placed upon Risa’s shoulders. She was starting to be aware of the fact that even these smallest exchanges in the classroom were dangerous now. How could they learn to get closer to each other at this point if just being together meant risking everything they had worked for in their entire lives?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next up is lunch time at Haro Kotogakko~ :P
Okay, I'm really going to sleep now. :nervous

Chapter 52!
Gossip! Haha! "Teacher-student relationship is forbidden" --> Psh, yeah right! But I'm glad they think there's nothing wrong with it. So it's getting dangerous, huh? ;) Less TakaGaki interaction at school? :( But I like interactions in dangerous situations. :D
lol...Ai-chan always wink at Risa in class. :wub: How can people not see that? XD

What is your idea Eri??? Double date?? :w00t: /wishfulthinking I want to see the four of them interacting :on lol:
And this
The way Reina had held on entire night, reluctant to let go of their embrace, had made a very happy turtle out of Eri. And the sight that she had woken up to— with Reina opening up the curtains to let a little bit of sunlight in while she her body was draped with only a blanket— had made Eri feel as though she had spotted an angel.
:shy1: :shy2: I love this :wub:

You're spoiling us! Keep it up! XD
*Eri remembers the night before*
This makes me laugh and feel all squirmy at the same time. :P
*Rumors*
Uh-oh, but it was bound to happen sooner or later.
But the heavy weight had already been placed upon Risa’s shoulders. She was starting to be aware of the fact that even these smallest exchanges in the classroom were dangerous now. How could they learn to get closer to each other at this point if just being together meant risking everything they had worked for in their entire lives?
It's either time for a talk or time for a close call.
Next up is lunch time at Haro Kotogakko~
And I can't tell which is next!!
-
4 hour is really fast! XD
“… Nee, did you hear that rumor about Gaki-san?”
Sounds like Tokunaga-chan from our class… Eri thought to herself, listening intently. And the other girl… Sudou-chan?
OMG :shocked the rumor already starting... the other students noticed they disappearing together... not good...
anyways... the kids! chii & maa :heart:
“Yeah, that’d be good,” Eri nodded. “I kind of have an idea how you two can spend time together, though.”
Looking forward for Kame's plan
Maybe Kame going to join the lunch to discuss her plan? :)

So Usa-chan revolution is now out and open? :P Hahah, I can't help but love the yankiis, they're just too FUN!! I hope they won't go too overboard with Sayumi though ;)

Chapter 54
“So why are you eating lunch with us again, Kameha?” Risa grumbled, glaring at her friend.
“I told you,” Eri smiled. “This way, people won’t think you disappeared with just Sensei alone. They’ll think the two of us went off to each lunch. And we can also get rid of those rumors about us having a fight. It’s like killing two birds with one stone!”
“I don’t know about birds but a certain turtle might get stoned pretty soon,” Risa growled.
“Sensei, did you hear that?” Eri gasped, pulling herself closer to her history teacher. “Risa-chan just threatened me! That’s not setting a good example as class representative, Iinchou.”
“You wanna see a good example?” Risa yelled. “Well, why don’t I just—”
“Okay, okay, stop right there!” Ai interrupted, chuckling. “Let’s get anymore violent than this, shall we? We’re still in a school environment.”
Risa crossed her arms and leered as Eri relaxed, trying to hold in her laughter. The two friends were up on the roof with their teacher, enjoying the bento Risa had made that morning. As usual, she had made too much so it was enough to fill up three stomachs. But the bean wasn’t pleased to have her friend intrude on her private time with her girlfriend; after all, she rarely got one. However, this was all part of the turtle’s “brilliant” plan to shoot down all the bad rumors going around in the school, and as much as Risa hated to admit it, she had to accept that it was actually a pretty simple yet effective plan.
“Now if both of you are done eating,” Ai continued, “may I suggest that we clean up?”
“Hai!” Eri answered energetically, immediately collecting the utensils and putting them back in its respective cases. The teacher smiled at her student as she closed the empty bento box. Risa just stayed still, pouting.
Rather than the fact that Eri had joined in on their little luncheon, Risa was more upset at the fact that her lover didn’t seem to mind this intrustion at all. Sure, the bean would normally include her friend in such minor yet social gatherings, but this was a rare “couple” time, not “couple-plus-turtle” time. And Risa desired to keep it that way. But Ai, on the other hand, was completely welcoming towards her student who always forgot her homework, and seemed to enjoy her conversation with Eri a lot more. Risa always knew her best friend was quite entertaining but she couldn’t help but be jealous of the fact that Ai seemed to laugh a lot more while talking with Eri rather than with herself.
“And that’s why, Sensei,” Eri yakked on, “I forgot my homework today.”
“You should have your own TV show, Kamei-san,” the teacher smiled, “called ‘100 excuses for forgetting your homework’.”
“I think you should add another zero there and make it 1000,” Eri grinned. “But it’s not a faulty excuse, I swear; I really had it in my bag but somehow, it walked right out of it.”
“Kamei-san omoshiroii desu yo ne~” Ai laughed. “Have people told you that before?”
“I hear I’m interesting pretty often,” the turtle shrugged. “But I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing.”
“It’s a good thing, coming from me,” the teacher grinned. “And it really balances out Gaki-san here, who is always so mature and serious.”
“Hear that, Risa-chan?” Eri giggled. “You need to loosen up more.”
“I’ll show you how I loosen up my fist, Kameha, if you don’t—”
“And cut!” Ai interrupted again, covering her girlfriend’s mouth. “Watch your language in school, Gaki-san.”
“Geez, you’re so cranky today, Risa-chan,” Eri pouted, standing up. “Well, I’m going to text Reina now. I’ll hide out in the bathroom or something so people will think I’m still with you two. Enjoy the rest of free period!”
The turtle twirled around and skipped back into the building towards the stairs and closed the door behind her. Ai removed her hand from her girlfriend’s mouth to reveal the expression of an unhappy bean. The teacher sighed as she smiled warmly.
“Come here, Gaki-san,” she invited, crossing her legs and opening her arms. “Sit with me.”
“No,” Risa refused, turning her head towards the other side.
“Come on, I wanna hug you,” Ai grinned. “Come here.”
“I said no,” Risa said firmly once more, still quite angry.
“And I said come here anyway!” Ai growled playfully.
She slid forward a little bit just enough to reach her girlfriend and grab her shoulders. She then pulled her back, despite the bean’s protests, and dragged her on to her lap and embraced her. Risa squirmed for a while before giving up, allowing Ai to sigh contently into her neck as she leaned on her shoulder.
“What’s wrong, Gaki-san?” Ai murmured into her lover’s ear. “Why are you in such a bad mood?”
“I’m not in a bad mood,” Risa grumbled, turning head towards the opposite side from where her girlfriend’s voice was coming from.
“Uso,” the older woman accused. “There’s obviously something bothering you. Come on, spill it.”
“… Sensei, you like interesting people, don’t you?” Risa asked.
“Um… sure, I guess,” Ai shrugged. “Doesn’t everybody? I mean, interesting people are… interesting.”
“I guess…” Risa mumbled. “Maybe that’s why everyone likes Eri more than they like me. I’m too uptight.”
“… Really? Is that what this is about?” Ai scoffed, angling her head to see her girlfriend’s face to no avail. “You’re jealous of Kamei-san because you think she’s more interesting than you?”
“Well, you definitely seem more entertained by her,” Risa mumbled again. She didn’t even know why she was saying this anymore; it made her sound like a child. But some part of the bean wanted to be spoiled enough to throw a tantrum to get what she truly wanted when it came to Takahashi-sensei. “And lunch time is supposed to be our time. I know Eri is trying to help but… I rarely get to see you.”
“… First of all, nothing interests me more than you, Gaki-san,” Ai assured, chuckling a little. “Second of all, I’m satisfied with just being able to see you like this and hold you like this; I feel like I’m the luckiest person in the world with such a small thing. So if it means gaining that small bit of fortune, I’d do anything. And that means having someone else joining us on our alone time as well. But if it’ll help you get less jealous over me, maybe we can hang out after school today…?”
“… That’d be nice, Mama’s going to work late today…” Risa mumbled, truly pleased with the idea deep inside. “But I’m not jealous—”
As the bean whipped her head around to properly yell into her teacher’s face, she instead had her lips stolen with a sweet kiss. Ai smiled and let out a small chuckle, sensing her girlfriend’s shock. She kissed her soft lips over and over again and watched Risa’s eyes slowly close in relaxation. She could taste the sweetness of her girlfriend at the tip of her tongue, wandering all around in her mouth. The younger girl let out a soft moan as she eagerly kissed back, finally gaining satisfaction from the craving she had felt all period.
Then, all too soon, Ai backed away a little to properly look into her girlfriend’s eyes, wetted with love and passion. She smiled as she watched Risa’s face wrinkle into a pout again as she refused to give in easily.
“You’ve become a better kisser,” the teacher grinned, taking the student by surprise.
“I was bad before?” Risa asked, alarmed.
“Well, you weren’t the best,” Ai shrugged, recalling the time when they had first kissed in the classroom while declaring their love for each other. “It wasn’t too horrible for a first-timer, though.”
“Oh…” Risa muttered, feeling a little embarassed. This was definitely one of those moments where she felt “behind”.
“But you’re pretty good now,” Ai chuckled. “Maybe you can make me out of breath in return soon.”
“I could probably do that faster if you would let us go further…”
“Mou, Gaki-san…” Ai moaned. “Can we not discuss that matter anymore?”
“Well, why not?” Risa argued back with a smug smile, feeling like she had gained the upper hand now. “We’re a healthy young couple; isn’t this one of those things that we’re supposed to discuss and plan out?”
“Yeah, and we have planned it out,” Ai answered. “You’re going to think this through until your high school graduation, and then we’ll really talk about it.”
“… Sensei, do you love me?” Risa suddenly asked.
“Is that even a valid question?” the teacher laughed.
“Are you… attracted to me?” Risa asked a little more slowly.
“If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t be holding you right this, would I?” Ai asked, confused. “Where are you taking this, Gaki-san?”
Without a word, Risa suddenly twisted her body and got on top of her teacher while facing her this time, straddling her waist. Ai leaned back with a shocked expression until her head hit the fence. But Risa only continued to crane her neck forward until their noses were almost touching.
“Gaki-san, what are you doing?” Ai whispered, starting to panic a little with the sudden change in her girlfriend’s attitude.
“Seeing if you’re attracted to me,” Risa smiled.
The younger girl turned her head a little to plant a kiss on the teacher’s smooth neck, illicitng a gasp from her. She trailed a kiss along the side of Ai’s neck for a while before picking a comfortable place to stop. She then proceeded to suck on that part of her skin, determined to leave a mark. Ai’s mouth opened as she closed her eyes but no audible sound came out. Realizing this, she instead bit down on her lips to keep the silence that way, determined not to give in. But she could not betray her true feelings of excitement from her younger girlfriend suddenly taking charge, and slipped her hand underneath Risa’s shirt from desire to feel her more. The bean gasped softly as she felt Sensei’s cool hands stroke her back, sending pleasurable chills down her spine. So her teacher really did get excited when she took charge like this… she wasn’t really the big and strong one anymore.
But before the bean could try out her newfound ability further, the clear ringing of the school bell, indicating the end of lunch period, rang out throughout the building. Risa stopped and backed away with a huge grin, having no regrets somehow. She could tell that she held the victory this time around, since Ai was holding her hands up in the air where Risa could see them, all the while breathing heavily and and her cheeks burning red.
“That was uncalled for!” Ai yelled, glaring at her girlfriend.
“I don’t know,” Risa smiled smugly. “I kind of happy to see that you are attracted to me, not ony emotionally but physically as well. Your hand up my back is proof.”
“Th-that… was a mistake!” Ai stuttered back, caught off-guard. “I just… stopped thinking for a moment.”
“Maybe you should stop thinking more often,” Risa shrugged, still grinning.
“Ha-ha,” Ai said dryly, dropping her hands to the ground. “You’re a dangerous creature, Niigaki Risa.”
Dangerous, huh? Risa thought to herself. Maybe, if you’re keen on staying in control… But Sensei’s not all steel and stones either; I’m going to make you want me even more from now on!

It's okay to want to be spoiled. I think Ai would only too happily agree!
But if it’ll help you get less jealous over me, maybe we can hang out after school today…?”
Is this going to be a chapter? If so, I can't wait! :D
“You’ve become a better kisser,” the teacher grinned, taking the student by surprise.
Practice makes perfect? :lol:
Without a word, Risa suddenly twisted her body and got on top of her teacher while facing her this time, straddling her waist. Ai leaned back with a shocked expression until her head hit the fence. But Risa only continued to crane her neck forward until their noses were almost touching.
:w00t:
She then proceeded to suck on that part of her skin, determined to leave a mark.
This is probably a bad idea. XD
So her teacher really did get excited when she took charge like this…

Ai was holding her hands up in the air where Risa could see them, all the while breathing heavily and and her cheeks burning red.

Chapter 55
Be natural… don’t be afraid to keep your head up!
Sayumi took deep, slow breaths as her chest heave up and down at the same pace. Her hand hesitated near the door handle, as though it was trying to decide whether it should slide the door open or not. The bunny had been staring at the entrance to her classroom for quite a while now, recalling all the advices that had been given to her by her yankii friends.
This was it. Today was the day Michishige Sayumi finally made history; not in the world, but at least in her own life. If she actually succeeded in being “nice” to people for a whole day, she would be reaching a significant turning point in her life. She was setting a record. It was something she should be given an honorary trophy for.
Finally convincing herself that she was ready, the pale-skinned girl carefully opened the classroom door. Her ears were immediately filled with multiple voices, laughing and chatting. The usual scene of a typical high school classroom was laid out before her eyes; all the girls were clustered into cliques, talking about the television show last night, the hottest celebrities, and the latest gossips.
“O… O-o-ohayou!” Sayumi squeaked as loud as she could, which wasn’t really all that loud.
“Oha—” A couple of the girls turned to the door to greet the student that had just arrived before their smiles dropped, “—you…”
It definitely wasn’t anger; no, the other girls weren’t mad or anything. The expression on their faces was purely confusion. They were trying to analyze Sayumi’s sudden action of greeting everyone in the classroom, unlike other days. Yes, it wasn’t such a suspicious happening; in fact, it happened on a daily basis as whoever arrived in the classroom yelled out a greeting to everybody else who had arrived first. It was a rather friendly environment. However, the witnessing of the antisocial stuck-up princess greet the so-called commoners—when she usually just ignored everybody and sat down immediately in her seat—was an unexpected experience for everyone.
“Ah… uh… un…” Sayumi mumbled to herself. She tried to keep her head up but the fact that all eyes in the room were on her only pushed her head down even more.
Swfitly taking action, Sayumi shuffled over to her desk and took a seat. The silence in the classroom broke with a couple whispers, which then naturally transformed into the loud chatting that had taken place before the bunny’s entrance.
Sayumi licked her dry lips and breathed slowly to calm herself. She had done it. She had done one nice act today already, and started of the morning that way, just as Junjun had proposed. And the funny thing was, it wasn’t all that difficult. Sure, the consequence of having everyone in the classroom stare at you wasn’t very pleasant but Sayumi found that carrying out the mission itself wasn’t that stressful any longer. She felt like part of a heavy weight had been lifted from her shoulders, and maybe, just maybe, her goal may get easier to reach from here on out.
“Kawaii desho~ I told you so!”
A loud, high-pitched voice broke through the bunny’s thoughts and urged her to look up and search for the source. She spotted a tall, skinny girl talking to two of her other friends, a couple feet away from her desk. The girl had her hair up in a high ponytail with a big bow, and had big eyes with long eyelashes that batted like emoticons.
Ah… it’s her again… Sayumi thought to herself, vaguely remembering the loud girl being in her class. What was her name again? Tsukishima… Yukishima…
“Could you keep it down there, Kusumi?” a student from the other side of the room warned. “I can hear you through my headphones!”
That’s right, it was Kusumi... Sayumi thought. Close enough.
She was one of the girls that the bunny had originally chosen not to pay attention to, but still found hard to ignore. She was always talking about something, that Kusumi girl, and her big eyes were like an anime character’s. She wasn’t one of the girls that bullied Sayumi, but she wasn’t a one that would help either. However, Sayumi had caught her watching the bullying scene a couple times with her lips bitten down, as though she wanted to do something, but couldn’t. But she didn’t really care. It was like the girl could stand up to the bullies anyway; she was still much to soft for that, and her friends too.
“Koharu, you really need to watch your volume,” a friend of the tall girl sighed, shaking her head. She had a shorter hair cut and was playing around with a soccer ball by her foot.
“That’s right, Koha-chan, you got yelled at again, see?” the other friend with the longer hair said.
She’s the soccer team captain and the other girl is the school’s number two after Junjun… the bunny wondered to herself again. What were their names…
“Gomen, Saya-chan, Kikka-chan,” Koharu apologized, clapping her hands together. “I’ll be more careful!”
Aa… Kitahara and Kikkawa… that’s right… Sayumi remembered, nodding to herself as she continued to listen in on the conversation. Not intentionally of course; it was just that the tall girl’s voice was still pretty naturally high-pitched enough for it to resonate throughout the classroom.
“Okay, so keep talking now,” Sayaka encouraged. “How much were we able to raise?”
“Definitely enough to save a couple more animals,” Koharu said proudly. “I think we should keep doing this; the market is obviously good in school.”
“I’m just glad we can do something for the animals,” Yuu sighed. “They all deserve nice homes.”
“Okay, okay, so we’ll continue taking orders during free periods, cool?” Sayaka grinned, giving a thumbs-up.
“Cool!” Koharu and Yuu said in unison, also putting their thumbs up.
“Now let’s put all these back into the bag before class starts,” Yuu suggested, as she started to pick up the little trinkets laid out on Koharu’s desk. “Koha-chan, could you get the bag?”
“Hai~!”
As the smiling girl bent over to pick up the plastic bag, her elbow accidently knocked a couple of the accessories to the floor. One of the cell phone straps tumbled over to Sayumi’s desk, where the bunny stared at it on the floor for a while. Acting on impulse, she quickly picked up the cell phone accessory and stood up from her desk. She observed the key chain, turning it around in her hand; it had a purple string that could be pulled through the cell phone hole and at the end of the string was a very tiny stuffed teddy bear. The whole thing itself was the epitome of cuteness.
“Wait, where’s the bear?” Sayaka asked, examining all the cell phone straps that Koharu had dropped and picked up.
“Ano… eto…” the tall girl mumbled, searching the ground. Her eyes wandered over to Sayumi’s desk and then up to her hands. Koharu blinked a couple times, her face wiped of all emotions like a blank slate. Her eyes still showed obvious signs of confusion and caution. Sayumi stared back with a similar face, the cell phone accessory still enclosed in her hands. As though she had decided, the tall girl started to march over to the bunny.
Eh? Eh? Eh? Sayumi thought as she started to panic. Oh my gosh, she’s coming over! What do I do? What do I do? Hold yourself together, Sayumi!
“Ano… Michishige-san?” Koharu called carefully when she came face to face with the bunny, who was looking up at her with wide eyes. “Uh… that’s my cell phone—”
“This!” Sayumi interrupted, dropping her head down and shooting her arm out with the cell phone strap in offering. “Um… I, uh… picked it up.”
“Ah… un…” Koharu mumbled, touching the accessory. She was obviously finding this situation quite awkward.
If you see something you like in the classroom, Junjun’s previous advice echoed in Sayumi’s head, and it belongs to someone, tell them that you like it. It’s that simple.
“…K-kawaii…”
“Eh?”
“Kawaii…” Sayumi said a little louder, her head still slightly bowed but her eyes working its way up to Koharu’s surprised expression. “I-it’s… really cute…”
“… Arigatou!”
Sayumi slowly lifted her head to have a better vision of the girl’s face. Koharu grinned as she received the cell phone teddy bear; her eyes were filled with curiosity and interest now as she assessed the previously stuck-up ice princess. She turned around and started to walk back to her two friends before freezing and taking a couple steps towards the bunny again.
“Ano!” she called, as Sayumi’s eyes widened with nervousness and surprise again. “… Do you want one too, Michishige-san?”
“… Can I?” Sayumi asked in a quiet voice, her heart beating faster with excitement.
“Of course!” Koharu smiled. “But you have to pay like everyone else. All proceeds go to the Kirarin Animal Shelter. Do you want one?”
“Y-yes!” Sayumi nodded determinedly, smiling subconsciously. “I would really like that!”
“Okay, then,” Koharu continued, “what’s your favorite color?”
“P-pink,” Sayumi answered shyly.
“What’s your favorite animal?”
“Usa-chan!” Sayumi yelled out subconsciously with a huge smile. Koharu jumped a little as she blinked a couple times from the sudden charcter change by the bunny. Realizing what she had done, Sayumi immediately closed her mouth and mumbled in a low voice. “I-I mean… rabbit…”
“… Michishige-san, you’re a kawaii style, aren’t you?” Koharu asked curiously.
“N-not at all!”
“Ah, you’re a tsundere too.”
“That’s not—”
“Okay, pink and rabbit, got it!” Koharu cut her off, laughing. “I’ll get it to you as soon as possible! You can pay then.”
Before Sayumi could say anything more, the hyper girl twirled around and danced back to her two friends, who were looking back and forth from the bunny to Koharu. Sayumi quickly sat back down in her seat before she could feel anybody else’s stares and ducked her head down.
Although she wanted to stay nonchalant like she always had, Sayumi couldn’t help but smile. Her lips curved up little by little until it felt natural to show a little bit of her teeth. Her cheeks turned rosy pink from the excitement and joy of being acknowledged. Her heart was racing from the adrenaline rush of talking to someone other than her girlfriend and her lackeys.
That was the first... the very first time Sayumi was actually able to converse with a fellow peer without losing control over her poison tongue, which had ever so prevented her from fitting in. It seemed like the Koharu girl was pretty nice, offering to make the cell phone strap for the bunny. Sure, she still had to pay but she was nice enough to make the effort to offer the deal to the antisocial new girl.
Maybe this new game wasn’t so bad afterall…
** ** **
“Usa-chan! Let’s go eat lunch outside!”
Junjun burst into her girlfriend’s classroom, expecting to see the cute bunny glare at her for using such a loud voice. Instead, she only spotted the empty chair as the rest of the students noticed her. She turned to look at her two lackys behind her, who only shrugged and shook their heads.
“Ah! It’s Junjun!” one of the girls exclaimed, immediately skittering over to the yankii leader with a couple of other girls tagging behind her.
“Hello, ladies,” the panda grinned, as the other girls giggled to look their cutest. “Have any of you seen my girl around here?”
“No,” one of the girls said, smiling. “But I can be your girl, if you want.”
“No, me!”
“No, pick me!”
“Sorry girls, I’m already taken,” Junjun laughed. “So none of you have any idea where Sayumi went?”
“I saw her walking towards the cafeteria,” Yuu said. All the girls that were fawning over turned and glared at the girl. But Sayaka instead stuck her face in the way of their leering and shot a mean look right back.
“Thanks, Kikkawa,” Junjun grinned. “You girls have a nice day, alright?”
“Bye, Jun!” one of the girls yelled.
“Come visit again!”
“See you later!”
The yankii leader turned and took a couple steps away from the door to address her two lackeys. Unlike her confident expression from before, Junjun now had a confused face on.
“What’s wrong, senpai?” Aika asked.
“Don’t you find it weird?” the panda said, raising an eyebrow.
“Find what weird?” Linlin inquired.
“That Usa-chan went to the cafeteria,” the older panda answered. “She usually says cafeterias are too crowded so she hates it… and she has a bento anyway, so why would she go there?”
“You think something bad is up?” Aika suggested.
“No, not bad,” Junjun continued. “But… maybe too good to be true? I really think Sayumi actually went there to buy lunch. In an attempt to be more social. Am I making too far-fetched of an assumption here?”
“Well… usually when someone goes to the cafeteria… it’s to get food,” Linlin shrugged. “I think it’s a reasonable assumption.”
“Huh. Maybe Usa-chan is enjoying this a bit more than she thought she would…” Junjun smirked. “Okay, I’ve decided. I’m going to stay away from her for the whole day today, just to give her a chance to really go all out.”
“Is that really okay, senpai?” Aika questioned. “I mean, those bullies are still in her class…”
“Then you two keep an eye on her for me,” the Junjun ordered. “Don’t be too obvious about your presence, but if something happens, then you have my permission to butt in. Just make sure she doesn’t get into too much trouble.”
“Roger that!” Linlin grinned, saluting her leader.
“We’ll take care of it,” Aika smiled.
** ** **
Sayumi walked down the hallway in a straight line, carrying the tray of food in her two hands carefully. She had been determined to buy food in school for the very first in her life, but still couldn’t bare to be in the crowded cafeteria, so she had decided to take her food back to the classroom, which a lot of students had been starting to do. As she walked, the bunny examined the various types of food on her tray. There were things that she had heard of before, but had never really seen. At home, her family didn’t eat food like this; only expensive and professionally-cooked food had touched their lips. But school lunch seemed pretty interesting too, which the rice and all the sidedishes divided into sections. Sayumi had never seen anything so peculiar.
She finally reached her classroom again, and faced the closed door. Holding the tray with one hand, Sayumi reached out and opened the door.
Then, she felt something hit her head and tumble down to the floor. Sayumi cringed for a while and then looked up to see the smirking faces of a couple of the girls across the room. They were laughing at her now, and high-fiving in the success of their practical joke. The bunny looked down and saw two chalkboard erasers with white powder around it. She touched her head gently and looked at her own hand to find the chalk powder caked on her skin already.
The silent snickering soon burst into laughter as the bullies hollered at the pale-faced girl; the rest of the class was silent, as they were too busy staring at the new girl. The top of Sayumi’s head was white with chalk powder now as she held her food tray and stood in place, frozen. This definitely wasn’t their worst pranks; it had taken Sayumi a good decent while to get a new desk from the storage room after all the graffiti had been put on her original schooldesk. So perhaps it was natural that she didn’t feel all that angry about this matter. She still wouldn’t mind give those bullies a piece of her mind and a couple foul words as well, but she knew how to handle this better now.
Sayumi lifted her head and looked straight at the girls who had pulled this prank on her. She felt the strong energy of confidence climbing up her back and locking her joints to keep her from backing down. Her heart was thumping loudly with nervousness, but Sayumi tried to think of it as excitement instead. The excitement of being able to voice herself, to change herself.
“May I put this down for a moment?” Sayumi asked, placing her tray on the nearest desk.
“Uh… no problem…” Sayaka answered awkwardly. Koharu watched with much curiosity while Yuu just stared, her eyes filled with worry.
Sayumi whipped around toward the group of girls who had pranked her, who smirked and waited for her usual reaction of pouring insults. But instead, the bunny calmly walked a couple steps forward, bent down, picked up the two chalkboard erasers, and walked straight up to the queen bee of the bullies. The girl stared at her with unwavering eyes.
Then, Sayumi smiled at the bully, confusing everybody in the room. She then took a hold of the girl’s wrists, flipped her hand open, and placed the erasers in her hands.
“I believe these belong to you,” she said, smiling pleasantly. “Don’t misplace it again.”
“… What kind of a sick joke is this?” the girl asked, scowling. She, including all the other students, was incredibly confused by Sayumi’s odd actions.
“That’s my line,” Sayumi said innocently. “I don’t know why kind of joke this is, but putting chalkboard erasers on top of the door… I haven’t gotten that one since kindergarten. Congratulations, you brought back some good old childhood memories. Thanks.”
The students started to giggle as the bully’s face scrunched up even more in confusion. That was all she was going to say? Where was the antisocial girl’s poison tongue? All the horrible insults and her high-and-mighty narcissistic character? Something was really off. The entire class was entertained by Sayumi’s cool way of handling the situation.
The black-haired girl smiled once more before turning around and going back to her seat. She sat down and started to dust off chalk powder in her hair, with not much success. The class just watched her with curiosity in silence, still trying to figure out what had happened to the original stuck-up princess.
Then, Koharu’s lips spread out into a big smile from ear to ear. She grabbed the bunny’s lunch tray from Sayaka’s desk and walked over to Sayumi, despite all the other students’ eyes on her. She placed it on the bunny’s desk and skittered back to her seat. She dug through her bag for a while and took out a water bottle and a handkerchief. Sayumi looked up in surprise as Koharu walked back to her with a smile. She wet the red cloth with a little bit of water and offered it to Sayumi.
“The chalk dust won’t come off like that,” Koharu grinned. “Use this.”
“… Arigatou,” Sayumi said quietly, smiling a little. As she patted her hair down again with the wet handkerchief, she could feel herself blush with joy again. This girl was being really nice to her. Everybody else in the class was still staring at her, but not with contempt like before. Now, their eyes were filled with curiosity and genuine interest. She had been given a chance to recreate herself.
“Nee, let’s eat together!” Koharu suggested.
Without even waiting for an answer, she went back to her desk, grabbed her lunchbox, and zoomed back to the buny’s desk. She pulled up a chair from near by and sat across from the black-haired girl. The entire class was watching her, but they all knew Koharu wasn’t the type of girl to feel pressured by such a thing. In fact, if anybody was going to attempt to be social with the “princess”, they figured it would be Koharu. And because her friends knew this too, Yuu and Sayaka just sighed and shook their heads with a smile. Then, they also took their own lunch and dragged their chair to Sayumi’s desk and sat on each side.
“Itadakimasu!” the three of them said in unison, clapping their hands together.
Sayumi blinked in disbelief. These girls were willing to eat lunch with her? They were willing to forgive her for all her past rudeness? Sure, they had never really gotten directly involved with each other’s businesses but they also saw how Sayumi was the stuck-up little rich girl that everybody hated, right? So why would they even want to befriend her so quickly?
“You know, I always thought you were a nice person, Michishige-san,” Koharu said, grinning her toothy grin. “It’s just that you don’t know how to show it. Does that creep you out?”
“It’s creeping me out, I’ll tell you that,” Sayaka groaned. “You’re so weird, Koharu.”
“Maa, maa, let’s just eat in peace now, shall we?” Yuu chided. “Michishige-san, I’ll formally introduce myself. I’m Kikkawa Yuu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!”
“And I’m Kitahara Sayaka,” the tomboy said energetically. “Yoroshiku!”
Sayumi looked around her desk one more time at the three people that were sitting by her. She could tell they weren’t completely open with her yet. But they were the first ones that were willing to give her a chance. The ones that wanted to get to know the real Michishige Sayumi that was hiding underneath the poison tongue character.
“… Michishige Sayumi desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu,” Sayumi said quietly, smiling geniuinly. She was determined not to lose this chance.
Meanwhile, there were two pairs of eyes, peeking into the classroom through the door. They backed away to the wall and sighed a breath of relief.
“Well, that ended surprisingly well,” Aika shrugged. “A little too well, actually. I’m kidn of surprised.”
“I guess Shige-san really doesn’t need our help for this,” Linlin smiled. “I think she’s getting the hang of it.”
“Yeah… or maybe that Koharu-senpai is just way too friendly of a type,” Aika suggested.
“Well, I hear Kitahara Sayaka-san and Kikkawa Yuu-san are pretty trustworthy… a lot of people like them too,” Linlin said.
“I guess we can stay behind the scenes and just keep watch for a little longer, just like Jun-senpai suggested,” Aika grinned. “I think Shige-san will be fine now.”
** ** **
Sayumi quickly walked towards the school gate with a light spring in her step. The day had seemed so normal yet now, she felt so different. She hadn’t had to say a single rude thing for the entire school day, and was able to even really smile a couple times. And the joy wasn’t brought forth by Junjun or Aika or Linlin. It was either from her three new friends or from her own self-satisfaction of feeling the change occur inside her. And it was amazing.
When she got close enough to the school entrance, she spotted three familiar figures, waving at her with grins plastered on their faces. Unable to stop her own feet, Sayumi immediately sprinted towards her girlfriend and jumped into her open arms.
“Junjun!” she yelled happily, laughing.
“Woah, you seem pretty happy,” the panda chuckled. “Did something good happen?”
“I didn’t say a single bad thing today!” the bunny said excitedly, looking up at her girlfriend with a certain sparkle in her eyes. “And these three girls started to talk to me today and we even ate lunch together! And nobody bullied me in the afternoon too! I… I actually did it!”
“It seems like you’re pretty satisfied,” Junjun laughed. “Maybe I should leave you alone for the entire day more often.”
“No, not that!” Sayumi said quickly, shaking her head. “That was one thing I didn’t like… You weren’t there for me at all today.”
“Well, technically not, but I did dispatch my little troopers here to keep you safe,” Junjun said, pointing towards her two lackeys. “There’s no way I would leave you out of my radar completely, Usa-chan.”
“Yeah, we were pretty much everywhere today, Shige-san,” Aika chimed in.
“We were watching you…” Linlin said in a creepy tone.
“But we felt like you didn’t really need us that much anyway,” Aika grinned. “Congratulations on taking the first step in Usa-chan Revolution!”
“We should celebrate this!” Junjun said. “We can go to my house again.”
“Um, actually,” Sayumi interrupted, swallowing hard, “I thought that… maybe… you guys can come over to my house… today…”
The three yankiis stared at the bunny in surprise. They looked at each other in search of answer for this sudden offer, but found none.
“… Is that okay?” Junjun asked carefully. “I mean, what brought this on suddenly?”
“… There’s nothing strange about it, right?” Sayumi said quickly, squaring her shoulders. “I mean, you three are my best friend and Junjun’s my girlfriend… It’s normal to invite you over to my home, right?”
“I suppose…”
“Then it’s settled!” Sayumi decided. “We can just walk there; it’s not too far.”
Junjun slowly smiled as her eyes shined with curiosity. Then, she just laughed softly before putting her arms around Sayumi and walking out through the gate. Aika and Linlin trailed behind, whispering to each other.
“Where does Michishige-san live anyway?” Aika asked her girlfriend.
“I don’t know,” Linlin shrugged. “But… isn’t she like… really rich?”
“Well, we know she’s an ojou-sama and all…” Aika mumbled. “I thought her parents were some big business people?”
“Yeah, I think I heard that too,” Linlin agreed. “So… where does she live?”

Chapter 56
“Gochisousama!”
Reina clapped her hands together and thanked her girlfriend for the meal. Eri smiled as she stood up with her empty plate and placed it in the sink.
After a long day at school, the couple had reunited in front of the kitten’s school to hang out. It was only two days away from the promised date where Reina’s father was to come up to Tokyo to visit. Hour by hour, the ex-yankii was visibly becoming insecure and nervous enough to a state where Eri needed to constantly remind her that she was going to be right there with her.
But Reina needed more than just words; so just like the past night, Eri was invited to sleep over once more. But this time, the turtle had suggested that Reina get out of her own home for a while and stay over at her apartment tonight. The kitten had claimed that she didn’t care where she was as long as Eri was with her; thus a compromise was reached.
As the time passed by in the turtle’s home, Reina seemed to calm down more. Her tensed up muscles loosened up again as her tightly pursed lights relaxed into the natural toothy grin that Eri loved. The dinner that had started silently slowly became louder as silence was overcome with chatting and laughter.
“So how did you like dinner?” Eri asked, returning to the table to clean up.
“It was delicious!” Reina grinned as she gathered the used utensils to help the turtle out. “Especially the tamagoyaki; it was slightly sweet but not too much. Really perfect!”
“… Actually, that was the one dish I didn’t make tonight,” Eri chuckled. “The tamagoyaki is from Risa. She made it for me to eat.”
Reina’s hand froze in place as her fist tightened around the chopsticks. Eri didn’t notice this as she continued to walk back and forth between the counter to the table, putting away both empty dishes and left over food. The kitten pursed her lips tightly into a straight line.
“… Risa?” she said, trying to force a smile. “That’s your childhood friend, right?”
“Yeah, Niigaki Risa, I’ve told you about her before, right?” Eri answered, preoccupied with cleaning the table.
“Yeah… maybe once… or twice…” Reina muttered.
“Actually, I have to return this case to her…” Eri said, holding up a plastic container in which the tamagoyaki was in before. “Maybe I’ll quickly run down and give it back.”
“I want to go too!” Reina said quickly, dropping the chopsticks on the table and skittering over to her girlfriend. “Take me with you.”
“You don’t have to come, it’s only a floor below,” Eri shrugged.
“But I’m you’re girlfriend, right?” Reina pouted. “It’s only natural that I get to meet your friend, right? I want to know everything about you.”
“… You’re right, I do kind of want you to meet Risa-chan. Maybe we should hang out at her place for a while,” Eri grinned. “We’ve been together since forever; she’s close like family.”
“… yeah… like family…” Reina muttered under her breath before putting on a pleasant smile. “Then let’s go! You should introduce me to her formally.”
The kitten linked her arms together with her girlfriends and dragged her to the door, trying to show some eagerness. But deep inside, she knew she was just being possessive. This was the exact position she wanted to be in when that Risa girl opened her front door: Eri was hers and hers only.
“Woah, hold on, let me lock the door,” Eri said, tripping on her own feet as she stumbled out the door.
She quickly turned around and turned the key in the lock before Reina was on the run again down the stairs. Eri wondered why Reina was in such a rush but she didn’t pay too much attention to it. In fact, she was kind of glad that her girlfriend was more upbeat now, since she had been in a state of nervous panic for the past few days because of the news of her father’s visit.
“It’s here,” Eri said, pulling Reina towards the opposite side of the door the kitten was headed to.
“Whoops,” Reina said, revealing her toothy grin.
Eri chuckled at her lover’s cute expression as she rang the doorbell. A moment of silence followed before the turtle pressed the button again. Then, there was a loud thump followed by a yell of pain from a familiar voice.
“W-who is it?” a difference voice asked.
“Risa-chan, it’s me,” Eri yelled in.
“K-Kame?” the bean shrilled. “Uh… what, what is it?”
“I came to return the tamagoyaki container,” Eri answered, raising an eyebrow. It wasn’t like Risa to address the turtle’s reason for visiting before even opening the door. “And I have someone to introduce… can I come in?” Reina snuggled in even closer to the turtle, holding her arm tightly.
“Uh… yeah, sure! Okay, okay, just… uh… hold on!” Risa answered quickly. There was even more fumbling inside the apartment, as the thumping continued. Reina’s eyes widened as she looked up at Eri, who had a similarly confused expression. It sounded like something hitting the floor but Eri couldn’t quite grasp what it was.
Suddenly, the front door burst open to reveal the bean, quickly arranging her disorganized hair. She was wearing a blouse that would’ve looked better tucked into the jeans with the belt, but it was left ruffled up. She smiled, trying to catch a breath as though she had been exercising, and casually waved at her friend without much success.
“Hi,” Risa said breathily, trying to pose naturally.
“Hi?” Eri said back, cocking her head to the side. “Um… here’s your container.”
“You didn’t have to bring it, I could’ve just gotten it back later,” Risa laughed nervously, taking the plastic container from Eri’s hands.
“Well, I also wanted to introduce Reina to you,” Eri said, nodding to the petit girl attached to her side. “Tanaka Reina, Niigaki Risa. Niigaki Risa, Tanaka Reina.”
“Hajimemashite, Tanaka Reina desu,” the ex-yankii smiled, offering a handshake.
“Doumo, Niigaki Risa desu,” the bean greeted back, taking the hand. As she smiled at the turtle’s girlfriend, Risa felt the hold around her hand tighten more and more until her muscles started to ache a little. But before she could fully express her pain, the kitten let go with a smile.
“Eri has told me all about you,” the girl continued, her eyes scrutinizing the bean although her lips were definitely curled up in a pleasant smile. “I believe we’ve met before too, right? By the stairs right here?”
“Ah… um, yeah, I think so…” Risa laughed hesitantly, slightly freaked out by Reina’s behavior. What’s with this girl…?
“Now that you two have met,” Eri started, “can we come in, Risa-chan? We were going to hang around for a while—”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea!” Risa said quickly, shaking her head rapidly. “You see… there’s a… um… a—”
The sound of sneezing from inside the apartment interrupted Risa’s words. Reina raised an eyebrow as Eri craned her neck forward in an attempt to see who it was. The bean stretched her arms across the door as her eyes widened.
“Is there someone inside?” Eri asked.
“There’s no one, what are you talking about?” Risa huffed, laughing shakily.
“Someone just sneezed,” Reina said flatly.
“That was me!” Risa suggested.
“No, it wasn’t,” Reina disagreed.
“Who’s in there?” Eri asked again. “If you have a guest—”
“She doesn’t have a guest,” someone said, stepping into the view. “At least, she won’t have one soon because I’m about to leave.”
The woman placed her hand on Risa’s head to ruffle up her hair a bit. Eri’s eyes widened as Reina just blinked a couple times.
“Takahashi-sensei?!” the turtle gasped.
“Sensei, I told you to just stay hidden!” Risa moaned.
“Why is there a teacher in your apartment?” Reina asked, confused.
“Come in, Kamei-san,” Ai smiled. “I was just about to leave because someone didn’t keep her promise.”
“What’s going on?” Eri asked.
“You know you liked it too…” Risa muttered.
“Are you Kamei-san’s friend?” Ai asked Reina.
“Her girlfriend,” Reina said proudly, not afraid to state this fact now.
“Ah, ii ne,” the teacher smiled.
“Excuse me, can I get some answers?” Eri asked again, starting to get frustrated.
“You can ask Gaki-san, I’m leaving,” Ai winked.
“No, you’re not!” Risa argued, pulling her lover’s arm back. “You promised you would stay!”
“But you broke another promise of ours,” Ai frowned.
“You were going to stay overnight at Risa-chan’s house?!” Eri shrieked.
“No, I wasn’t, I would never do that as a responsible teacher,” Ai scoffed, rolling her eyes.
“Oh yeah, the great Takahashi Ai-sensei would never…” Risa muttered. “Just… stay longer!”
“Wait, did you say, ‘Takahashi Ai’?” Reina asked, her eyes growing bigger as she stared at the teacher. “Could you be… the Takahashi Ai-san?”
“The Takahashi Ai-san?” Eri asked.
“The yankii leader who held Fukui in the palm of her hands!” Reina yelled. “That… is that you?”
“That was a long time ago…” Ai smiled a little, scratching her head.
“It is you!” Reina exclaimed. She took a step back, letting go of Eri’s arm, and quickly bowed in a 90 degree angle. “I-I’ve heard so much about you, Takahashi-san! I admire you so much— I was in charge of one of the Fukuoka gangs!”
“Sensei, you were that bad?” Risa asked, raising an eyebrow. “Enough for yankiis in other prefectures to know you?”
“Are you kidding? Takahashi-san is a legend!” Reina shouted in awe. “You know, once, she beat up—”
“Okay, let’s leave that kind of past behind, shall we?” Ai interrupted, laughing nervously.
“I thought you left your yankii life behind,” Eri said to her girlfriend.
“I did,” Reina shrugged. “But I still admire Takahashi-san. Everyone does.”
“Can we get back on topic?” Risa yelled, shaking her head to get rid of the confusion. “Sensei, you come in.”
“No, I’m leaving,” Ai argued.
“Can we come in?” Eri asked.
“I have to call Junjun, she’s gonna freak out when I tell her I met Takahashi-san,” Reina grinned.
“Could we please leave my yankii life behind?” Ai sighed. “At this point, I’m just Kamei-san and Gaki-san’s teacher.”
“But you’re also my girlfriend, so stay!” Risa argued.
“Can your best friend say?” Eri asked again, practically growling now.
“You’re going out with your teacher?” Reina asked the bean.
“Gaki-san, I’ll text you later, okay?” Ai sighed.
“What is this, ‘Ignore Eri Day’?” The turtle yelled, frustrated. “You know what? That’s it, everybody in!”
As all four women started to talk over each other, fighting for their own point of views, Eri managed to push everyone inside Risa’s home. Then, she forcefully closed the front door and turned the lock.
** ** **
“So… Sensei was just here to visit since Risa’s mom is coming home late tonight…” Eri said slowly. “But then Risa-chan broke a promise—which you’re not telling me about—so Sensei was going to leave…”
“So Gaki-san—can I call you that?—Gaki-san is going out with Takahashi-san who is a yankii-turned teacher…?” Reina slowly calculated. “That’s pretty manga-esque, but I’m cool with it.”
The two couples were now sitting on the floor around a low coffee table. Ai and Risa were sitting one side facing the younger girl across the table, questioning them.
“I didn’t know Kamei-san’s girlfriend was an ex-yankii,” Ai shrugged.
“I didn’t know Sensei was the type to be dishonest to yourself,” Risa muttered.
“Hey, that’s not—”
“Woah, okay, stop!” Eri interrupted, cutting off the massive word jumble that was about to start up again. “You two are going to figure that out amongst yourselves later, because Reina and I don’t know anything about what you’re talking about. So please push the couple fight back?”
“We’re not having a fight—”
“Yes, we’ll push it back,” Ai answered clamping one of her hands over her girlfriend’s mouth. “Look, Gaki-san, I’ll stay for now but we’re definitely talking about this later, alright?”
“… Mm-hm…” the bean answered, rolling her eyes.
“Good,” the teacher smiled. “Now why don’t we continue with what were were supposed to do before we…strayed off? Since you have more guests and all.”
“What were you doing?” Eri asked.
“We were going to make fruit salad,” Risa said, standing up. “Just the usual simple kind.”
“Ah! I love Risa-chan’s fruit salads!” Eri exclaimed, jumping up to her feet.
“I know you do,” Risa grinned. “But if you want some, you have to work for it.”
“Ugh, sometimes, I feel like you know me too well,” Eri groaned. “I have working but you know I’m going to help if it means I can eat your food…”
“Of course I know,” Risa said smugly. “We’ve been together too long to not know. Kamei Eri, I can read you like a book.”
“Like a book, huh…?” Reina grumbled under her breath.
“Okay, everyone into the kitchen,” Ai ordered.
The four women piled out of the living room one by one towards the small cooking corner of the apartment. Eri and Risa started to look for the tools since they knew their way around the kitchen better while Ai and Reina went through the fridge to dig out whatever fruit they could find. Reina took out a carton of strawberries but as she tried to close the fridge door with her elbow, the carton slipped out of her hand.
“Woah, watch out!” Ai yelled, catching the carton just in time.
“A-arigatou gozaimasu!” Reina thanked, taking the strawberries back.
“That was dangerous, it could’ve fallen on your foot,” Ai said. “Be careful, alright?”
“Hai!” the kitten answered, smiling with a slight blush in her cheeks. Her aspiration was standing right in front of her, so close… it was like meeting a celebrity in a dream.
Aren’t they a little too close right now? Eri thought to herself, watching her girlfriend and her teacher from the corner of her eye. She couldn’t help but feel annoyed by the fact that Reina seemed all happy because of Ai, and not in her nervous panic mode. Eri had somewhat taken pride in that she was the only one that could pull Reina out of that unstable state…
“Bring the fruits over, Sensei,” Risa urged, waving her girlfriend over to the sink. “You too, Tanaka-san… ah, is it okay if I call you Tanakacchi? I like the sound of that better.”
“Um, sure,” Reina said awkwardly. “That’s something new…”
“Kameha, you wash the strawberries and the bluberries,” Risa ordered. “I’ll wash the raspberries and the grapes.”
“Hand them over to the right when you’re done,” Ai continued, taking her place with Reina by the cutting boards. “We’ll slice them and put them in the bowl.
With that, Risa and Eri went to work immediately, busily washing the fruits. Risa was finished with the raspberries first, which the teacher and the kitten dumped in the bowl altogether. Eri finisd with the blueberries next which followed the same fate as the raspberries. When Risa handed over the grapes, Ai and Reina plucked out each one and put it in the big salad bowl.
“Hey, Eri, watch where you’re splashing!” Risa complained, holding up her arms. “Stop waving the strawberries around like that!”
“Oh, that wasn’t even a splash though, Risa-chan,” Eri smirked. “This is a splash!”
The turtle threw a handful water towards her friend’s face, causing the bean to turn around and scream from the cold water. She exhaled sharply as she grinned and splashed some water back at Eri.
“Take this!” Risa yelled, making Eri turn away this time, laughing.
“Hey, that was way more water than I splashed!” Eri laughed.
“Deal with it,” Risa said, sticking her tongue out.
“Are you done with the strawberries yet?!” Reina asked, not bothering to hide her annoyed tone.
“Huh? Oh, yeah, here,” Eri answered, handing the strawberries over to Risa who passed it to her teacher.
“Wash your hands with soap now,” Risa instructed.
“Here, you can take this half, Tanaka-san,” Ai said, passing along a pile of strawberries to the younger girl. “Just cut it right down the middle in half.”
“Um, this way?” Reina asked, placing the knife on top of the triangular fruit.
“No, the other way around,” Ai chuckled. She placed her own hand on top of the kitten’s, automatically bringing herself closer to her. She turned the strawberry around under the knife. “So both sides are equal. See? And just cut down… like this.”
The knife sliced through the strawberry smoothly as Reina nodded in understanding. Eri spied the scene quietly as she wiped her hands on the kitchen towel. She then took a few steps away from the counter towards the table where Risa was peeling a banana.
“Nee, Risa-chan?”
“Hm?”
“Um… don’t you think Sensei and Reina are a little too close right now?”
The bean turned around to look at the spot where her girlfriend was cutting fruits with the ex-yankii and shrugged. “Not really.”
“But they even held hands…” Eri muttered.
“… Are you jealous?” Risa asked, smirking.
“You’re not?” Eri shot back.
“Not at all,” the bean said cooly. “I have nothing to be envious of.”
“… What happened to the Risa-chan that was so paranoid this afternoon because I intruded on the oh-so-precious lunch time with Sensei?” Eri asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Gone forever,” Risa grinned. “Because you see, I confirmed it today that Sensei is bounded to me strongly enough that… well… we have mutual feelings that we wouldn’t want anyone else: it’s faith.”
“Faith…” Eri mumbled, looking up at her lover. Reina and Ai were having a conversation about something quite interesting apparently, since the kitten’s lips were stretched into a big smile. We have that… don’t we?
“That’s right, faith,” Risa nodded. “Now help me peel these bananas; I’m gonna ask Sensei to cut these too.”
The two friends quickly peeled a couple bananas and had them sliced. When all the fruit preparations were done, the large salad bowl was filled with layers of fruit from top to bottom. Then, Risa took out cups of yogurt from the refrigerator and peeled it open. She then spread it across the fruit bowl as the dressing while Eri’s mouth watered just from watching.
“Okay, all done!” Risa announced.
“It’s so pretty,” Reina commented.
“It tastes even better,” Eri smiled.
“Here, let’s bring it to the living room,” Ai suggested.
The fruit bowl was soon placed on top of the coffee table with the women surrounding it. Ai brought out some forks to eat the food with. As soon as the utensils hit the table, Eri’s hand shot out to grab it and spear a fruit to bring it to her mouth.
“Itadakimasu~” the turtle said as she chewed.
“Mou, you couldn’t wait up for us, Kameha?” Risa groaned. “Itadakimasu.”
“Itadakimasu,” Ai and Reina said in unison.
Eventually, all four women were eating the fruit salad, making small talk along the way. Reina continued to ask Ai about her “young days” back in Fukui, to which the teacher expressed over and over again that she preferred to leave it in the past. Eri made a couple failed attempts to get her teacher to reveal her semester grade, as Risa just rolled her eyes. The bean then turned the conversation around to involve Reina and asked about how they met; Reina talked about the whole situation where she thought Eri was a boy at first, amusing Ai very much.
“Mou, Kameha, will you stop eating just the strawberries?” Risa complained. “I want some too, you know!”
“You snooze, you lose,” Eri taunted, spearing the last strawberry with her fork and bringing it to her mouth.
“Uh-uh, no way!” Risa said, grabbing the turtle’s wrist to stop her from claiming the last piece of fruit. “Let me have it, come on!”
“No, it’s already mine!” Eri grinned, trying to break free.
“Come on, give it!” Risa laughed, trying to turn the fork around towards her. “Come on~”
Suddenly, a loud clack of a fork hitting the table caused both friends to jump, letting the strawberry fall back into the bowl. They looked towards where the sound came from to see Reina sitting straight up with a tight smile.
“Eri… can we talk?” she asked, trying to seem pleasant but her stiff expression revealing otherwise.
“Um… sure,” the turtle shrugged.
The ex-yankii got up to her feet and pulled her girlfriend up as well. Eri lead the way to the study as she looked back. Risa had a confused expression from Reina’s sudden change in attitude while Ai had a worried look. Eri just shrugged before entering th room and closing the door behind her.
“What was that?” Reina asked, scowling at her lover.
“What was what?”
“That whole thing with the strawberry?” Reina scoffed. “You were practically about to feed her!”
“We were just fooling around, Reina,” Eri laughed. “What’s wrong with that?”
“I’ll tell you what’s wrong with that,” Reina snapped. “I guess it’s a lot more fun to be with her than me, right? Splashing water, joking around all the time, because she knows you so well since you guys have been together for so long, right?”
“Is that seriously where you’re getting at?” Eri asked in disbelief. “You’re getting jealous over Risa-chan?”
“I am not jealous!” Reina growled.
“We’re just friends!” Eri yelled back. “Besides, it seemed like you were having your own little fun with my teacher.”
“She’s my role model!” the ex-yankii shouted. “Am I not allowed to talk to her? Because she’s your teacher?”
“Oh, you can talk to her, but it seems like a lot more was happening than that,” Eri shot back. “You know, it’s not necessary to hold hands while cutting fruits.”
“We weren’t holding hands! She was just teaching me how to cut it right!”
“It’s fruit salad, not rocket science! She doesn’t need to teach you anything!”
“Well, sorry for not knowing how to make fruit salad! This is ridiculous!”
“You’re being ridiculous! You know Risa-chan is my best friend, why are you getting so worked up over it?”
“Because I should know you more than she knows you!”
“And you’re getting angry over this kind of thing?!”
“YES, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, BAKA!”
A sudden silence filled the room apart from the heavy breathing from both parties. Eri’s frown slowly dropped into surprise from her girlfriend’s confession as Reina’s cheeks turned pink from embarrassment. She closed her eyes and sighed, trying to calm herself down. Eri watched her, biting down on her bottom lips, not knowing what to do.
“… I should be the one to know you best,” Reina mumbled, rubbing her forehead as she looked down. “I want to be the closest one to you because I love you the most. I know I can love you better than anyone else, so… I don’t want to hear about someone else knowing more about you than me.”
“It’s the same with me,” Eri admitted, smiling a little. “I guess… I got a little jealous over seeing you so marveled by the sight of Takahashi-sensei. You don’t look at me that way, not really.”
“Of course I don’t look at you that way,” Reina explained, also smiling. “I look at Takahashi-san with respect. But I look at you with…”
“… love?” Eri suggested.
“Yeah, that,” Reina grinned.
Eri smiled as she walked over to her girlfriend to give her a hug. Reina wrapped her arms around the turtle as well as she sighed with satisfaction at the warm embrace.
“I’m sorry I got jealous too,” Reina mumbled into Eri’s shoulder.
“We’re such a baka couple,” Eri laughed. “But I don’t mind being stupid if it’s with you.”
“Oh, that’s a new line,” Reina snickered, taking a hold of the turtle’s face between her small hands to get a better look into her sincere eyes. “But I have to agree with it…”
Reina leaned in for a kiss to which Eri automatically responded to. Their lips shaped themselves around each other’s perfectly, as though the bond between them was meant to be. This was the comfort that they both appreciated; it was proof that no matter how many times they fought or argued, they would eventually return to each other. It was a natural phenomenon; only two halves could make one and form a complete pair.
“We should get back to the living room,” Eri murmured into the kiss. “Sensei and Risa-chan are probably wondering about all the yelling that went on…”
“Mm…” Reina nodded reluctantly, knowing her girlfriend was right but still wishing that they could stay alone for a little longer.
The two girls held hands as they opened the door back into the living room. But when they stepped into the view, their feet rooted to the floor as they froze in shock. Eri’s mouth dropped open with a pop as Reina blinked furiously.
Risa was lying on the couch with her blouse half opened to reveal a bit of her undergarment, heavily making out with the teacher on top of her. Ai’s hand was stroking the bean’s stomach, causing her to moan quietly. Reina raised an eyebrow and looked at her girlfriend, who seemed to slowly come back down to earth. Eri cleared her throat to indicate her and her lover’s presence, but was ignored. She then cleared throat again louder, but still had no effect on the couple making out.
“HEY!” Eri yelled, realizing her previous method was not working.
The teacher’s eyes opened in shock as she suddenly got up too fast, causing her to lose her balance on the couch and tumble down to the floor with a thump. As Ai groaned in pain, Risa quickly sat up and covered her chest. Eri’s eyes widened as she started to slowly realize what the loud thumps were when she had first arrived at the bean’s house. This would also explain Risa’s stuttering when answering the door as well.
“Sensei!” Eri yelled in horror. “Reina and I were in the other room for just a moment and you went down on my best friend?!”
“So Takahashi-san has that kind of hobby?” Reina asked monotonously, not seeming so shocked anymore.
“I didn’t go down on anyone, and what hobby?!” Ai yelled back, blushing deep red. “Gaki-san started this first!”
“And now you’re blaming it on Risa-chan?!”
“She’s right though,” Risa cut in, shrugging. “I did initiate.”
“And you broke the same promise twice now,” Ai said, glaring at her lover.
“I think we should leave,” Reina said to Eri.
“But Risa—”
“I’m fine, Eri,
“I’m fine, Eri, you should go home with Reina,” Risa sighed.
“But—”
“Thanks for having us, Gaki-san,” Reina smiled. “We’ll leave you two to settle your own little problems.”
“We don’t have any—”
“You two should solve yours, too,” Risa grinned, cutting off her teacher.
“Oh, we settled them already,” Reina answered. “The verdict is that we’re just going to be idiots together.”
“Sounds good.”
“Risa-chan, are you sure—”
“I’m fine, Kameha, go home,” Risa insisted, preferring to be left alone with her lover.
“… Okay,” Eri sighed. “See you tomorrow.”
“Un. Later.”
Reina and Eri exited the apartment and closed the door behind them tightly. Then, Reina led the way as they started to climb up the stairs.
“… I’m kind of glad I went,” Reina voice echoed, breaking the silence. “That was pretty interesting.”
“You mean the thing we just…?” Eri started, looking at Reina with a confused expression.
“No, not the make-out scene,” Reina scoffed. “I’ve seen a lot of those when I used to hang around with Junjun and the other girls… I’m talking about meeting Gaki-san and Takahashi-san, and getting into a fight with you.”
“The fight too?”
“Yeah… Don’t you feel like we’re closer now? I think fighting makes us confess a lot more about our feelings… And that way, we get to know each other better, right? And that’s what we want.”
“I guess you’re right,” Eri grinned. “By the way, are you staying overnight?”
“Um… yeah…” Reina mumbled as she nodded. “Just three days until he comes… I don’t think… I don’t really want to be left alone.”
“Daijoubu,” Eri smiled warmly, tightening her hold around the kitten’s hand. “I’ll protect you all night again, just like last night.”
Reina smiled gratefully at her lover, feeling her heart warm at the comforting words. She knew she could hold Eri to her promise.
** ** **
“… I think I’ll go home, too.”
“No, don’t go!”
As Ai stood up and started to collect her bag, Risa jumped off the couch and held onto the older woman’s arm. Ai stopped and sighed deeply, shaking her head.
“Gaki-san, you already broke our promise twice,” she said, turning her head around to frown at the younger girl. “Didn’t you promise that you wouldn’t try anything like you did today at lunch while I was at your home?”
“… Yeah… but you liked it too!” Risa argued. “That’s why Eri thought you were the one who initiated it because you turned the tables on me and took charge!”
“I don’t take enjoyment in being attacked by my girlfriend like that,” Ai said, still frowning. But her cheeks turned redder, knowing Risa was right about the pleasure of making out that way being mutual between the two of them. “I’m leaving.”
Then, Ai pulled her arm out of Risa’s grip and slung her bag over her shoulder. She walked over to the door and started to put her shoes on. Risa stayed right behind her, watching her teacher’s back with a regretful expression.
“… Are you angry?” the bean asked quitly.
“Look, Gaki-san—” Ai turned around to face her girlfriend and stopped short before continuing. Risa’s eyes were filled with nothing but sorrow towards the older woman, catching Ai off-guard. Her heart immediately melted down from the sight, and just sighed.
“Are you?” Risa asked again. Ai silently took her sandals off again and stood properly to face the bean.
“… Come here,” Ai sighed, smiling sadly. Risa immediately jumped into her arms, forming a tight embrace. The teacher stroked her lover’s hair, feeling completely helpless in front of Risa’s charm. “I would be lying if I said I’m not angry at all… but it’s already passing.”
“I’m sorry,” Risa apologized, snuggling further into Ai’s shoulder. “I shouldn’t have done that; I took it too far.”
“It’s okay, love.”
“It’s just… I really love you, and when I… you know, attack you like that, your response is the only way I know you want me too. It makes me happy.”
“Didn’t I already tell you how much I desire you?”
“Actions speak louder than words,” Risa mumbled, causing Ai to chuckle.
“You have to remember,” she said, “I didn’t say that we would never sleep together. The time will naturally come; you just have to stay patient for a little while.”
“Yeah, until graduation,” Risa muttered.
“Perhaps,” Ai replied. “But I’ll confess that just hugging you like this is enough to weaken my resolve a little…”
“Can I try to weaken that resolve even more?” Risa asked, hopeful.
“Don’t push your luck, Gaki-san,” Ai answered immediately, slightly pushing the younger girl away to grin at her. Risa pouted as she sighed.
“Well… can I at least have a kiss?”
“Yes, you can always ask for that,” Ai laughed, allowing the bean to slowly smile as well.
Risa quickly leaned in to kiss her lover, to which Ai responded strongly enough to eventually take charge, like she usually did. Risa had to resist testing her lover again; she had hardly given up on her intention of getting into bed with Ai a little sooner. Graduation still seemed much too far away for her, and she wasn’t sure if she could hold back her love for her teacher for that long. But for now, just this kiss was enough to know Ai was there.

Jealous Eri is :inlove: It's like the tables have turned and neither really knew it until their little tiff.

Helpless to Resist Ai is :lol: Weaken, resolve! Weaken! I want the love to flow~!
And, wow, you managed to break Word. :rofl:

“… Are you angry?” the bean asked quitly.
“Look, Gaki-san—” Ai turned around to face her girlfriend and stopped short before continuing. Risa’s eyes were filled with nothing but sorrow towards the older woman, catching Ai off-guard. Her heart immediately melted down from the sight, and just sighed.
“Are you?” Risa asked again. Ai silently took her sandals off again and stood properly to face the bean.
“… Come here,” Ai sighed, smiling sadly. Risa immediately jumped into her arms, forming a tight embrace. The teacher stroked her lover’s hair, feeling completely helpless in front of Risa’s charm.

“I look at Takahashi-san with respect. But I look at you with…”

“Yeah, that,” Reina grinned.

Anyway, their little fights were so darn cute! The confessions and everything is cute! I squealed so much! :nervous

I love this chapter! :twothumbs It's just tooo sweeeet~ :mon inluv:
-
This is absolutely my favorite chapter by so far!!! :inlove: There is everything that I like: sweet TanaKame, sweet TakaGaki, pure hotness TakaGaki ( :drool: ), funny GakiKame and cute RenAi (just as I like them, I prefer them to stay just friends :oops: I'm too much a TakaGaki fan :P). So this is the connection between the two yankiis. Not surprising that everyone admires Ai-chan :lol: Who couldn't, she is just too Lovely :heart: :heart: :heart:
Seems like I won't be able to write anything else but senseless adoring here :nervous But that's actually your fault SarangAi, you just write too well :yep: :heart:
Keep up with the good work!
p.s.I really like the way how you have made Risa-chan to be the more aggressive one (to begin with at least), she's just so smexy :drool: I'm almost sure that Ai won't be able to resist much longer :twisted:
-
So Ai was a Yankii in her past life, well, didn't expect that one, wonder what she did though, to make people like Reina respect her..... Hmm ,I wonder though if maybe, just maybe, Reina could of had a little thing for Ai in the past.....
Seems as though Reina can be the jealous type though as she seems uncomfortable when Eri and Gaki are together, bless you have to love her reasonings behind it though.... and Eri gets jealous of Ai! :doh: well perhpas Eri will not get Reina to do any more fruit platters for a while.... :lol:
-

“Sensei!” Eri yelled in horror. “Reina and I were in the other room for just a moment and you went down on my best friend?!”
“So Takahashi-san has that kind of hobby?” Reina asked monotonously, not seeming so shocked anymore.
“I didn’t go down on anyone, and what hobby?!” Ai yelled back, blushing deep red. “Gaki-san started this first!”
Ai-sensei got accused :lol:

@rndmnwierd: lol I know, I didn't even break word with Kokoro no Uta though, which is ironic since I wrote 100 chapters for that and this is only on ch. 56 XD
@Avarard000: lol I love me my TakaGaki... and TanaKame :lol:
@astro18: well, you might not have to imagine too long cuz of Kawaii-chan's post down there... 8)
@kano-chan: LOL Ai-chan needs to cover up... that is SO funny :rofl:
@Bamtai: aww~ that's so sweet~ thank you! And yes, I like it when Gaki-san is in charge too :twisted:
@oddball: Well, I think it's more like fandom for Ai then love, since Reina never knew her personally :P lol no more fruit salad :twisted:
@Shiawase_Honoo: lol glad to bring some joy any day~ :D
@Kikk4r: lol well, TanaKame is still main so I gotta keep to that promise XD
@alwaysYou: I kinda like the way I did this chapter too; maybe i should start mixing different scenes in one chapter (if i don't get too lazy before that) :lol:
@eruchan: lol and what an accusation (especially from Reina) XD
@kawaii beam (again): I don't if I should be happy about this or sad about this.... sad cuz it's more work or happy cuz I'm writing TakaGaki... oh the pain... XD
@shenlog: well i guess you're convinced :lol:
@gab98: i think a lot of people does now because of kawaii XD
Thank you so much for all the comments/thanks~~ It makes me happy to see a couple of names who gave me "thanks" even if they couldn't comment; tells me that they're still there :twothumbs

It was hard to wait a few parts to read them together, but it's worth it.
Tanakame it so :shy1:
Takagaki :luvluv2: Gaki-san gambare! :D
I don't know whom to give preference...
waiting for update))
-
I love this! What the heck? (this is me being confused and excited)
The somewhat unresolved sexual tension is getting to me, but it's so sweet I'm hoping it'll last even longer.
I loled so hard at the legendary Ai-sama of Fukui.
And then this happened:
“Sensei!” Eri yelled in horror. “Reina and I were in the other room for just a moment and you went down on my best friend?!”
“So Takahashi-san has that kind of hobby?” Reina asked monotonously, not seeming so shocked anymore.
“I didn’t go down on anyone, and what hobby?!” Ai yelled back, blushing deep red. “Gaki-san started this first!”
I will now refrain from reading Chigatte in public. I also had to refrain myself from putting the bottom half of this: :wahaha: in here.
Great updates!
-
@kawaii beam: Wedge? XD
@rndmnwierd: right? XD
@Avatard000: YES :D
@astro18: NICE :lol:

@gracula: LOLOLOL I'm literally rofling :rofl:
YES THE FORUM LIVES~~~ :cow: :cow:
So now, the extra chapter :twothumbs
I'm not posting it here: I put it in my blog because it definitely wasn't a full-blown perv (even though I was kinda in the mood to write one) but I still felt iffy about it. Besides, it's like an omake so I just put in my blog :D
So read from the blog, and then comment back here, okay? :twothumbs
It's not too long; I actually wanted to continue writing it... but then it wouldn't be an omake :P
So only teasing~ i'm so ebil :twisted:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 56.5
For all TakaGaki and Chigatte mo Iin da yo! Fans who don't mind being teased because this omake is just SarangAi being mean (http://sarangaifanfiction.wordpress.com/2011/05/14/chigatte-mo-iin-da-yo/) :twisted:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
... And the rest, I shall keep to myself :twisted:
Oh what a night of evilness. Okay, sleep. XD

thank you thank you ~ <3 !
ohmeegeeeeee~ that was so sexyyyy...
damn kame! i like you, but not when you interrupt something--! something [!] -- very nice!
i wonder what's iffy about it... it was good, author-san~
-
yay the forum lives im soo happy about that and ofc the chapter yay yay yay :cow: :yossi:
you are to evil.... i alomst died their but i did not do that cuz i wanna now the end hahaha :nervous :cow:
-
Oh~ The past chapter, and a half ( XD ) was really really good. Every time I feel like complaining for some awesome Tanakamei, Takagaki's plot just gets better and better and I'm thinking to myself "okay, Takakgaki can make up for it" :sweat: I'm really liking this entire sensei/ pupil relationship between the couple, which makes their plot seemingly a bit more interesting than Tanakamei since they don't have that much of a drama at the moment.
Also, I noticed how "motherly" Eri can be at times. I just want to poke her cheeks and be like "you~ can't you see that they want some alone time together?!?!" :grr: But~ it's still really cute how she's really worried about Risa.
Please update soon~ :P
-
So, this is what happened before Kame rang the doorbell... XD
Gaki-san is so smart... her plan to seduce Ai-sensei is a success :lol:
Sensei almost cross the line this time... :nervous and she got deceived twice in a day :lol:
-
@kawaii beam: yay~~ glad you liked it! First time I did it out of a request, but I did for you, Kawaii-chan~~~ XD
@gab98: LOL so many emoticons there... and i LOVE it! XD
@rndmnwierd: HA yeah, i purposely just stopped there :twisted:
@astro18: hehehe the day Aichan breaks... :twisted:
@kano-chan: lol interesting how you think Risa isn't ready yet, although i made it seem she's so eager for this. any reason for it? just curious, i don't have any motives behind this question XD
@Shiawase_Honoo: LOL risa probably still has that turtle soup recipe somewhere... :lol:
@Avatard000: hehe i'll be nicer with the real thing~ (i probably wouldn't be able to stop writing either though) :D
@aya-chii: oooh yay~~! glad you liked it so much, ya~~ XD
@Kikk4r: lol you'll get the end of that sooner or later.. :twisted:
@sapphire: MEH i'm sorry! I know it's TanaKame main, and I'm definitely determined to keep it that way! But the drama for them will start soon too; almost like Kokoro no Uta, where I dealt with the sub couple first and then moved onto the main couple... TanaKame is still main! I promise! I do have things planned! :D
@eruchan: lol because Gakisan is so hard to resist XD
Thank you for all the comments/thanks~~ I appreciate them very much! :twothumbs
It's been a long time since I've written something closer to a perv; I hope this semi-perv will be practice for me before I write real ones XD
So i'm trying to write up the next chapter... while rubbing my eyes and sneezing (anybody else dying of spring allergies) :nervous
-
lol...Just a feeling. Maybe cuz' I'm expecting the TakaGaki "ahem" on Risa's 18th birthday or something. :D
-

-
people 'hatin'(though not really) on Eri.. XD but have you guys forgotten, Gaki did it first to Eri.. :lol: remember, when Eri and Reina first got together?.. and Gaki kept on bangin' on the door, pestering Eri to open it while she is busy with Reina.. only that time Eri has the wisdom of not relenting with her currrent activity.. LOL.. it also helped that Reina threatened her.. XD
the true at fault here is Ai-chan's moral compass, :lol: for working ever so splendidly.. if she really wanted to, they could have just resumed with their activity and ignored the disturbance..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 57
“This… is Shige-san’s HOUSE?!”
Aika and Linlin’s mouths dropped in unison with a “pop” along with their eyes that practically shot out of their heads like cartoons. Junjun whistled a long solid tone, impressed by the scenary. Sayumi just shrugged nonchalantly.
The four girls were standing outside of a large black gate, encircling a huge Victorian-style mansion. Even beyond the gate, there was a good 300 meter walk through the extravagant lawn until the front door of the house. Through the black bars, the girls could see three large fountains spurting out clean water that was sparkling with sunglight. There was a paved cobblestone road to the mansion but around that pathway was fresh green grass with rows of trees and bushes. The yankiis could even spot granite statues of baby angels on the enormous yard as well.
And the mansion itself, of course, was breathtaking. It was a large 3-story home made out of white stones and gray roofs. The structure expanded out towards the side, showcasing rows of windows and columns. On the far side was a tall tower with a pointy roof. The yankiis had never seen such a beautiful mansion out of those corny English movies.
Sayumi walked over to the intercom attached to the wall and pressed the button.
“It’s me,” the girl said.
“Okaerinasai, Sayumi ojou-sama,” a polite voice answered from the speakers.
As soon as the bunny took her finger off the intercom button, the black gate slowly creaked open. Aika and Linlin hugged each other and watched in awe with their mouths wide open. Junjun exhaled sharply in disbelief, grinning. She knew her girlfriend was of high social standing, but definitely not this sophisticated. No wonder the girl had never eaten udon before.
“Come on, let’s go,” Sayumi motioned for her friends to step foot on the cobblestone pathway. “Sorry we have to walk all the way; normally I would have a carriage come or take the limousine to the back entry, but I gave both employees vacation this week for their work.”
“Are your parents inside?” the panda asked, as her two lackeys continued to mumble something incoherent to each other about the grandiose property while walking behind the older couple.
“Why would my parents be inside?” Sayumi asked, confused.
“Oh, are they at work?”
“… My parents are in Yamaguchi,” the bunny said, raising an eyebrow. “They live in their house. This is mine.”
“THIS IS YOUR HOUSE?!” Aika and Linlin yelled from behind, their eyes practically bulging out.
“Wow,” Junjun commented calmly. “You live alone? I didn’t know that.”
“Well, I don’t live alone, technically,” Sayumi shrugged. “All my employees live with me too.”
Suddenly, from the distance, a large figure came running towards the girls at full speed. The creature jumped on Sayumi before Junjun could even react and knocked her down to the ground. The bunny turned her head this way and that, trying to avoid the licks from the furry animal.
“Hey, stop that, Akira, get off!” Sayumi laughed, scratching the creature’s big ears. Junjun started to grin as Linlin watched her girlfriend gasp.
“IT’S A SIBERIAN HUSKY!” Aika shrilled, her eyes sparkling with joy. “KYA~ KAWAII!”
“Ah… yeah, this is Akira,” Sayumi introduced, somehow managing to pull the large dog off of herself to get back on her feet. “She’s my smartest dog.”
“… you have MORE?” Aika asked, her lips stretching out into a huge smile.
“Yup,” Sayumi grinned. “I have a separate outhouse for them. We can go see them later, if you’d like.”
“I’d love to!” Aika exclaimed. “Did you hear that, Linlin? Shige-san even has a separate house for her dogs! How cool is that?”
“I wanna see the dogs too!” Linlin squealed, jumping up and down in place.
“Aika’s a sucker for dogs,” Junjun explained to her girlfriend.
“I’ve noticed,” the bunny giggled. “Come on, let’s keep moving. Run along, Akira.”
“Bye, doggie!” Aika waved at the husky that ran off into the grass.
The four girls started to walk down the pavement once more, past the fountain and the statues. Eventually, they were able to step up to the front door. Before Sayumi could even touch the handle, the large double doors slowly opened up in a similar fashion to the gates. As the view inside the house revealed itself, all three yankiis gasped softly, blinded by the extravagance.
There were two rows of maids, all in the same pink-and-white uniform, lined up along the red carpet right by Sayumi’s feet. The carpet led the way to the long staircase, leading up before splitting in two ways. The floors were tiled and shined to make it clean enough to even see one’s reflection. On the dark walls were various paintings of landscapes and nature. The whole atmosphere was very English. When the bunny stepped onto the carpet, all the maids bowed at a 45 degree angle in unison.
“Okaerinasai, Sayumi ojou-sama!” the ladies chanted together.
“Tadaima!” the bunny answered, handing her backpack to one of the maids. “Please take my friends’ bags too and keep them in a safe place.”
“Hai, ojou-sama,” the maid replied. She motioned for two other maids to collect the other bags, and they stepped forward from the line to walk over to the yankiis.
“May we take your bags?” the girls asked politely, smiling.
“Y-yeah, sure,” Aika and Linlin mumbled together awkwardly, handing their schoolbags over.
“Arigatou,” Junjun said, smiling professionally.
“Where’s Baa-chan?” the bunny asked, the maids, gliding down the red carpet with her friends close behind.
“I am right here, Sayumi ojou-sama,” a different voice answered.
The four girls directed their attention to their right to spot an older woman in her 70s coming through one of the many doors lined up by the wall. She was a petit old lady, her face showed nothing but pure warmth and kindness, like one of those grandmas on the cover of a cookie mix box. Her hair was mostly gray with mixtures of black here and there, half covered with a cap. She wore a simple, dark blue English-style dress that stretched down to her feet, and a pair of glasses clung on to her nose.
“Baa-chan!” Sayumi exclaimed, giving the old lady a big hug. “Tadaima!”
“Okaerinasai, Ojou-sama,” the woman replied, chuckling softly. “But please don’t hug me so tightly; you’re going to break this old back one day.”
“Gomen~” Sayumi giggled, stepping back to fall in a single line with her three friends. “Minna, this is my nanny, Ishida Takiko. She was my mama’s nanny before becoming mine; she’s been with me my entire life.”
“Hajimemashite, Mitsui Aika desu!” the girl said politely, bowing.
“Linlin desu!” the younger panda followed.”
“Konnichiwa, Junjun desu,” the leader greeted.
“Ah, you’re the special one!” the nanny smiled, referring to the taller panda. “Sayumi ojou-sama has told me all about you, Junjun-san. I hear you’re quite the charmer.”
“I like to think of it as talent,” the tall girl grinned.
“A form of optimism, I’ll assume,” the old lady chuckled. “It is very nice to meet you all, Junjun-san, Linlin-san, Mitsui-san. I hope you enjoy your visit here at the mansion today.”
“Baa-chan, we’re going to be upstairs in my room,” Sayumi said, skittering towards the stairs while motioning for her friends to follow. “Can you bring us up some tea and cakes?”
“Right away, Ojou-sama,” the old lady answered, bowing.
“Oh, and tell Yasuda-san to come up to my room later, please?” the bunny requested.
“I will, Ojou-sama,” the nanny answered once more.
“Who’s Yasuda-san?” Junjun asked.
“You’ll see,” Sayumi smiled. “Now, come on!” She took a hold of her girlfriend’s hand and pulled her up the stairs, prancing up like a graceful doe. Aika and Linlin followed closely behind, trying not to let the older couple get too far ahead.
Junjun smiled to herself as she let herself be lead on by her lover. Sayumi was usually very reserved but since she was in her own territory now, she seemed a lot more relaxed. She no longer seemed pressure nor restricted by anything; she was in her safe zone. And she didn’t need to hide any sort of excitement of being able to have her friends over at her home. Junjun was only glad to see that Sayumi really did seem to be changing for the better. She was opening up.
The heiress led her friends down a long, well-lit hallway with rows of doors. The floor was tiled but covered with a red carpet. The walls were decorated with various paintings and artpieces, all framed in golden wood to accentuate it off the burgundy wallpaper. Sayumi eventually came to stop at one of the doors and opened it.
“Douzo,” she encouraged, letting her friends walk in first and closing the door behind her. “This is my room.”
Aika and Linlin gasped loudly as their eyes focused on the colors in the spacy room. The bedroom itself was bigger than Junjun’s entire flat, and held various white furnitures including a large king-sized bed, a white make-up stand, a desk, and even a small tea table on the side with a couple of matching chairs. On the far side of the wall, the room opened out into a balcony, letting warm sunlight seep through the glass sliding doors. There were two more doors on the side wall with a row of portraits, showing the changes in Sayumi’s appearance every five years or so. The girl was smiling in the first two pictures from when she was a baby and a toddler, but that smile disappeared in the pictures that followed after.
“Wow,” Junjun breathed, taking in the beautiful room. “No wonder you’re such a princess… because you really live like one.”
“I’m not that bad,” Sayumi mumbled, remembering her past stuck-up attitude from when she first transferred into Morning Gakuen.
“Not anymore,” the older panda grinned.
“This is amazing!” Aika exclaimed, finally finding her voice and wandering further into the room. “Your room is so beautiful!”
“So soft!” Linlin commented, stroking the large pink bedsheet. “And everything is so bright!”
“You can all sit at the table over there for cake,” the bunny instructed, pointing to the small tea table near the balcony. “I think I’ll change into something more comfortable.”
“I can help you,” Junjun smirked, wrapping her arms around her lover. “I had a lot of practice taking off your uniform, afterall.”
“Very funny,” Sayumi grumbled, push herself away from the yankii leader. “Sit. I’ll be right back.”
The heiress glided over to one of the closed doors on the other side of the room. She opened it to reveal another small room, except the walls were barely visible with rows of clothes and dresses. Linlin’s mouth opened wide as she blinked furiously. Aika had a similar reaction. Junjun just exhaled sharply and watched her girlfriend walk into the room and close the door behind her with an utterly amused expression.
“… That was her closet… right?” Aika whispered.
“Sugoii na…” Linlin breathed.
“That’s my girl,” Junjun said casually, pulling out a chair for herself.
Before the silence could take over, there was a knock at the door. Sayumi’s nanny came inside with a silver tray full of pastries and tea, smiling pleasantly at the gang. Her face carried such warmth and kindness that the yankiis could not help but smile back.
“I brought up the tea and cakes that Sayumi Ojou-sama requested,” the old lady announced, placing the tray down on the table. “I also brought up some crepes too, so please choose what to eat as you’d like.”
“Arigatou gozaimasu, Ishida-san,” Junjun said. Aika also nodded politely, in contrast to her girlfriend whose eyes focused on the desert on the tray.
“Please, just call me Baa-chan,” the nanny chuckled. “Any friend of Ojou-sama’s can feel free to be familiar with me.”
“But we just met… I’ll call you Obaa-san then,” Junjun said, glinting off a perfect smile of a perfectly civilized well-behaved young lady.
“Jun-senpai is really pro…” Aika whispered to her girlfriend.
“Good thing we’re not enemies, right?” Linlin mumbled back. Both girls knew very well what having Junjun as an enemy would be like… and they preferred not to even think about it.
“So… you’re not Sayumi’s real grandmother, are you?” the older panda asked.
“Oh no, I’m just her nanny,” the old lady said. “But I’ve been taking care of her since she was born… I suppose it’s as though we are truly related. Ojou-sama’s grandparents passed away either before she was born or while she was still too young… so she must’ve considered me to be the closest thing to her grandmother. I love her as though she was my own grandchild as well.”
“That’s very sweet of you,” Aika admired. “You really care about Shige-san…”
“Yes, and that is why I wanted to thank you all,” the old lady said, smiling. She took a couple steps back to bow towards the three delinquents with a grateful smile.
“Thank us?” Linlin asked, confused. “What for?”
“For being Sayumi Ojou-sama’s friends,” the nanny answered, sighing contently. “You see… Michishige Kaichou-sama and Oku-sama have always been much to busy to spend time with Sayumi Ojou-sama, and she was home-schooled. So she has been alone all the time, without any friends or family. Today is the first time she’s brought friends back to her home. She must think very highly of you three.”
“You could say we think highly of her back as well,” Junjun grinned.
“Yes, well, I could honestly say that today is the first time I’ve seen her so happy ever since she could walk,” the old lady said, starting to get even a little bit teary. “And that’s why I want to thank you all. For being there with her. Sayumi Ojou-sama’s not a bad person, really… and I appreciate that all of you have taken the time to get to know her. I believe she is very glad right now to have you…”
“Don’t say unnecessary things, Baa-chan!”
The nanny along with the gang turned their heads towards the walk-in closet where the heiress was standing in a pale pink blouse and a white skirt. Her face was flushed red with embarrassment as she was chewing her lips off.
“Oh, you look lovely in that blouse, Ojou-sama,” the old lady laughed softly, conveniently avoiding the bunny’s previous comment. “I knew that you would like it when I ordered it.”
“Baa-chan, don’t avoid the subject,” Sayumi pouted, walking over to her nanny.
“I think you look cute,” Junjun chimed in, grinning.
“Pink suits Shige-san,” Aika added
“It really brings out the color of your eyes,” Linlin snickered along.
“Mou, minna!” Sayumi pouted, blushing an even deeper shade of red.
“Well, I’ll leave you young people to socialize amongst yourselves,” the old lady chuckled. “Enjoy your stay here, Junjun-san, Mitsui-san, and Linlin-san.”
“Arigatou Gozaimasu!” the two younger yankiis said in unison. The nanny winked at the bunny who merely stood in place, still embarassed about the way her Baa-chan had spoken to her friends. When the door clicked shut, Sayumi finally regained the feelings in her legs and found her own chair to sit down on.
“So, happier than ever today, are you?” Junjun started, smirking.
“Because we’re here?” Aika smiled.
“We should do this more often,” Linlin suggested.
“Well… of course I’m happy,” Sayumi admitted, deciding to just confess her true feelings. Her face felt hot from embarrassment; she already knew her facial expressions had betrayed the secrets of her emotions. So there was nothing to lose from actually saying it out loud.
“Wanna tell me why?” Junjun grinned, leaning in closer to her lover.
“I mean, you three are first friends ever,” Sayumi confessed, her eyes wandering around from side to side, not exactly sure where to look. “Nobody has ever been so understanding and open-minded towards me, not even my own parents. And even though I’ve said a lot of mean things… you guys continued to hold on to me. And… you know, I’ve never had friends before and… I guess what I’m trying to say is… thank you. For being there, for not giving up on me.”
“Hey, you’re the one that asked me out after you jumped on the nearest tree,” Junjun laughed. “That was all you back then. Your courage, your decision. I didn’t do anything to hold on to you, or whaever.”
“Yeah, and you’re the one that continued to challenge Jun-senpai too,” Aika added in.
“Truth is, you didn’t want to give up either, Shige-san,” Linlin explained. “You had it in you all along. It was all you.”
“Dakara motto jishin wo motte yo!” Junjun lectured, putting her hand on Sayumi’s shoulder. “So be more confident in yourself!”
“It might be hard, but that’s when you can turn to us,” Linlin winked. “We’ll always be here.”
“Zutto tomodachi darou?” Aika grinned. “We’ll always be friends, right?”
“You may be happy to have us, Usa-chan,” Junjun said sincerely, “but we’re also happy to have you. And that’s the truth.”
Sayumi looked around the small table at her three friends, smiling at her. The bunny couldn’t help but smile back, as her cheeks flushed soft pink with joy. She laughed softly, biting on her lips as she felt her heart beat faster with delight, excitement, and gratitude. They were going to be with her, right by her side, forever. She had thought that she was the only one who needed them, but they had also needed her as well. She was wanted and loved for once in her life. And that kind of feeling was something irreplaceable.
“… Arigatou,” Sayumi squeaked under her breath, smiling genuinely.
“Well then, since we’re all happy and warm now,” Junjun grinned, “shall we start eating? I think Linlin’s eyes are literally going to pop out soon if we don’t let her dig into these crepes soon… ”
“YES, THANK YOU!” the younger panda exclaimed. Her arms shot out to grab a plate of crepe from the silver tray along with a fork and a knife. She clapped her hands together, quickly mumbled a word of thanks, and immediately dug in. Only after she had had a bite of the delicious strawberry-banana crepe did she moan as though she was in heaven.
“Oishii?” Aika asked, her eyes sparkling as she watched her girlfriend chew in delight.
“It’s better than any other crepe I’ve tasted before,” Linlin moaned, savoring every bit of the cream and chocolate syrup lingering on her tongue. “I’ve waited so long for this… it was torturous, just watching this thing sitting on the tray!”
“Yeah, yeah, real painful,” Junjun laughed. “Well then, I’ll have a taste too.”
“Me too!” Aika chimed in, taking a plate of crepe for herself.
“Please do,” Sayumi smiled. “We have more too, if you’d like.”
“Someone needs to tell me. Is this heaven?” Linlin asked her lover. Aika and smiled kissed the panda on her lips. Linlin sighed dreamily, mumbling, “Yes. Yes it is.”
Soon enough, all four girls were happily digging into the sweets while sipping tea (although the term “sipping” seemed to only apply to Sayumi, since the yankiis were chugging the drink down). Aika had enjoyed watching her girlfriend eyes get dreamy from eating crepe, moreso than eating the fod herself. So she had eventually given up half of her crepe for Linlin and had instead taken up the cake. Also, although Sayumi had not noticed, Junjun had spent most of the time staring at her rather than eating. The yankii leader was thoroughly intrigued by her lover’s appearance at the moment. She seemed so much brighter today, and much more enthusiastic. And understandably too, since the girl was able to really take a huge step in revolutionizing herself today. Junjun smiled, watching the cute bunny daintly eat the desserts; the gray in her eyes were no longer as her pale skin seemed a bit darker today, as though life had been blown into her. Yes, she definitely looked better this way.
“So, now that Linlin’s had her treat, how about Aika too?” Sayumi smiled. “Do you want to go to the outhouse?”
“... You mean,” Aika said slowly, her eyes widening, “… dogs?”
“What else?” Sayumi laughed, as someone knocked on the door. “Oh, perfect timing. Come in!”
A young woman in her twenties walked in and bowed to the heiress. She was wearing a baseball cap and was dressed casually in a t-shirt and jeans. Sayumi stood up and walked over to the woman, as her friends mimicked her actions.
“Minna, this is Yasuda Kei-san, my dog trainer,” Sayumi introduced. “Yasuda-san, my friends wanted to go to the outhouse to see the dogs.”
“Certainly, Sayumi ojou-sama,” the woman grinned. “And it seems like this one is the most excited.” She pointed at the short-haired girl was practically floating in air from bouncing up and down too much.
“You bet I am!” Aika exclaimed, unable to control her huge grin. “Let’s go, let’s go, come on!”
“Yasuda-san, please lead the way for us,” Sayumi giggled, as Linlin just smiled at her girlfriend’s cute reaction.
“Certainly, Ojou-sama,” Kei nodded. “This way, please.”
The dog trainer walked out of the bedroom first, followed closely by Aika and Linlin, who were holding hands. But as Sayumi was about to follow out, she saw her bedroom door close in front of her, along with a pair of arms that trapped her in between.
“… Junjun, what are you doing?” Sayumi asked slowly.
“Can we just stay like this for a while?” the panda asked quietly, leaning in forward until there was barely any space between the girls. “I haven’t seen you all day… I missed you.”
The heiress blushed deep red from her girlfriend’s honest words. Normally, in this sort of situation, Sayumi would’ve pushed away from the panda and say something somewhat rude and totally uncute, but she was different today. She felt different. It didn’t feel so unnatural to just be herself at this point, especially in front of the one she loved.
“… I missed you too,” Sayumi said quietly, leaning her head back a little as Junjun angled her head to meet her eyes.
“Good,” the panda chuckled. “I’m very glad.”
“Mm… you don’t want to go see the dogs?” Sayumi asked.
“I’d rather see something else…”
“… Okay, I was thinking of being nice but I guess not,” the bunny said, glaring at her girlfriend. “Stop having perverted thoughts, let me go!”
“Okay, okay, I’m sorry! It was just a joke,” Junjun laughed, hugging her girlfriend tightly, reluctant to let go. “But you know, I did promise you.”
“Promise me what?”
“That if you managed to hold your tongue for the entire day today,” Junjun explained, “I would give you a prize. The continuation from last night?”
“And I told you I didn’t want it,” Sayumi snapped.
“Aw, but we haven’t made out even once today!” Junjun complained, mumbling into her lover’s ear. “Don’t you feel empty without it?”
“No.” Her answer was quick and sharp. Apparantly, she still had a bit of poison left. But that only made things more exciting for Junjun; she liked challenges.
“Well then… think of it this way,” the panda suggested. “Crepes for Linlin, puppies for Aika. Where’s my share of the treat?”
“Well, what do you want?” the bunny asked slowly, hypothesizing the answer.
“I want Sayumi,” Junjun murmured, smiling. “But you already knew that.”
A warm softness hit the bunny’s lips as she gasped softly. Her previous thought of resistance immediately washed away as Junjun started to kiss her in earnest; truth be told, Sayumi had missed this as well. Yes, she enjoyed herself for the entire day, being someone she had longed to be, but she had missed her lover’s presence by her side. And honestly, who wouldn’t? Considering that lover was such a good kisser…
As Sayumi started to kiss back with the same amount of passion, if not more, Junjun took the hint and turned her lover around, pushing her back against the door. Moaning softly, Sayumi coiled her arms around the panda’s neck, pulling her even closer. The yankii pressed one of her hands against the door to keep her balance while letting the other hand slip down to the bunny’s slim waist. She lingered around that are for a while, playing with the edge of Sayumi’s blouse, before determinedly dropping her hands down to the girl’s thighs and hitching her leg up agains her own hips. Sayumi gasped and broke the kiss, but Junjun continued to work her tongue against her lover’s ear, drawing out a soft moan.
“Shall we move to a more comfortable location, ‘ojou-sama’?” Junjun whispered.
In a split second, Sayumi felt herself being lifted off the ground, as her other leg hitched up against Junjun’s waist as well. Before she could even protest, the kisses along her collarbone silenced her words and instead slipped out of her mouth as pleasurable sighs. After closing her eyes to enjoy the sensation more, Sayumi felt herself drop onto a soft surface, and a slight weight was placed upon her. She opened her eyes to see the face that she knew and loved so much, only an inch away from her own, gazing at her lovingly. Junjun smiled as she kissed her girlfriend one more time before moving down to her neck.
“Mm... you smell good,” the panda murmured softly, taking in her lover’s scent.
As she started to drag her tongue along the soft skin, Sayumi’s fingers started to twitch, trying to find something to hold on to. Rather than pushing her girlfriend away, she pulled on her bed sheet and fisted it in her hands. Something inside her had moved; she didn’t feel that usual urge to reject her lover’s physical advances. Instead, she put her embarrassment aside and decided to enjoy what was coming. For some reason, she didn’t want it to stop this time around.
Realizing her girlfriend was rather getting into this as much as she was, Junjun slipped her hands up the bunny’s shirt, stroking her flat belly. Feeling more encouraged by Sayumi’s moan, the yankii pulled up the blouse up all the way, revealing her girlfriend’s pink undergarment. Smiling, Junjun dipped further down to kiss Sayumi’s small but perfectly shaped mound, eliciting a gasp from her lover. Sayumi felt her own body tremble from the cold air hitting her half-bare body, and her girlfriend’s tongue working on her bra straps now.
“You seem more energetic today,” Junjun smirked. “You missed this too, didn’t you?”
I did… Only puffs of air answered the panda’s question.
“… Do you want to take it further?” Junjun murmured softly. Her hands slipped down to stroke Sayumi’s inner thigh, before suddenly pushing it up to spread her legs wide open.
Yes… Yes, I want to! A small whimper sounded from the bunny as her breathing got heavier. As Junjun stroked her smooth legs even more, overly sensitizing her skin, Sayumi felt herself getting hotter. Her pulse was getting uneven and her heartbeat was so loud that she could barely hear her own pleasurable moans. Something was happening to her lower stomach and her hips, something strong. Her legs were twitching from Junjun’s touches, only increasing that intense feeling in her body. What was happening to her? She had never felt this way before… Is this what they called being turned on? Was this it? She had felt excited from Junjun’s advances before, but not this much. She needed something, and she needed it now. And only Junjun could do this. Yes, only her. Her lover, her savior, her own. She was ready.
“Do you want me?” Junjun asked softly, her eyes glinting.
I do… “I do,” Sayumi sighed.
The yankii’s playful face suddenly changed to a serious one, as she stared at her girlfriend with her face all read and her eyes revealing only lust. Deciding to make her point clearer, Sayumi grabbed her lover’s hand and pulled it down her own body, under her skirt, so that Junjun could see for herself how ready she was right now.
“Sayumi…” Junjun mumbled, her eyes widening with shock.
“Junjun… please,” Sayumi said breathlessly. “I… want…”
Before the bunny could even finish her sentence, Junjun pulled her hands away and sat up. She quickly proceeded to get off the bed and stand up, turning her back to her girlfriend. Confused and surprised, Sayumi also slowly sat up, her blouse being pulled down automatically.
“… We should go to the outhouse too,” Junjun said casually, turning her head to smile at her girlfriend. “Aika and Linlin are probably wondering where we are… we shouldn’t worry them.”
Sayumi’s eyes widened. That smile. That wasn’t Junjun’s smile; it was completely fake. It was the professional smile that the yankii practiced in order to get out of favors or eventually get her way. But now, that convenient tool was being used on her…
“Junjun, what—”
“I’m gonna go ahead,” Junjun said quickly. “I think I’ll try catching up to them.”
Before Sayumi could say anything more, the yankii quickly walked out of the room, closing the door behind. The bunny froze on the bed, staring at the place where her lover had disappeared.
Junjun was the one who had always wanted her. She had always been the first to initiate. But now that Sayumi was finally ready to give herself, she had been… what? Rejected? Was that what just happened? She had clearly offered herself to Junjun yet… she had walked out on her? What had she done wrong? What exactly…
… What just happened…?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Questions raised? That's good. XD
Next chapter, i'm mixing it up a bit! I started thinking about what would make this more of a "school girl fic" so I decided to add this in :twothumbs
Writing~ :lol:
:byebye:
-
Yay, I'm the first :cow: :cow:
Wow, Sayu really IS a princess :shocked I mean a mansion like that with all the servants... WOW!! :w00t:
I laughed so much when Kei showed up! Seriously, a dog trainer? :lol: You made me also hungry, those crepes sounded so tasty :P
BUT WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED TO JUNJUN???? :shocked What was all that about?? Something from her past? Suspense :panic:
So the next chapter is more school girl life? I wonder whose point of view it will be... Hopefully there will be some TakaGaki :roll: Yep, I'm addicted to them :heart: Thank you for writing this amazing fic :bow: :bow: :bow:
-
Sayu really is a princess! :O She has her own castle(mansion) and servants and everything! Aika and Lin definitely seemed to enjoy the visit, I was grinning watching their reactions. Then I was grinning during the make-out scene.
Then I stopped grinning.
:shocked
Jun stopped?! Wh-why?! Okay, okay, let's think about this logically. She could have just totally remembered that they weren't alone Though, that's doesn't explain the fake smile. Maybe she just thought better of snatching Sayu's first time like that. Still, though, that smile...
Maybe, as soon as Sayu gave in, Jun was reminded of how all the other girls that go after her seriously throw themselves at her.
Or maybe it's really just the chase that keeps her interested, a cynical part of me says, and she'll lose interest as soon as she gets what she wants. Hope it's not that...
On to Tanakame!!! Right?
-
lol, i got it a little to early tough :nervous
but I just realisd that when Risa turns 18 Ai will be all over her XD :drool:
you know what i mean dont cha :lol:
but i dont get the think with junjun gaahh to confusion. Need answer (even though i know you wont answer) :nervous
and you probably thought i forgot it ....... yay yay yay update :cow: haha im so lame right :nervous
and one more thing why did you take so long time to update :cry: i was lonely ..... not really but still :nervous
-
I wanna visit Sayu's house too!!! :shocked :w00t: I'm now craving for some crepes~ :bleed eyes:
I didn't notice my reaction to their make-out. I think I'm still getting used to them, but it wasn't disturbing at all. :twothumbs
Well, I did expect something to happen before they get too far. Like an interruption, you know? But....JUNJUN STOPPED. :shocked: What's this?? I'm starting to get ideas. Don't tell me Jun is the one who's not ready! :on spit: Can't wait for the answer! :roll:
I'll be waiting for more~ :D
-
why why why why did Junjun stop :angry: :angry: :angry: no Jun... just no :smhid
I want some more TakaGaki :drool:
-
:on spit: what..? jun is always all over sayumi and the moment that things got serious she's acting like that? what going on:? lol
can't wait to get the answer,so intriguing that fake smile :huhuh
-
Oh~this is such a great chapter. I was really surprised that Jun rejected Sayumi in the end, but I have my own suspicions as to why. I think (and for some reason my brain is telling me that this has a high chance of being true) it is because all the other girls give in to Junjun very easily. Jun fells in love with Sayumi because of her character and also because she was hard to get. I think when Sayumi gave in, Junjun thought that she might be like all the other girls. Or~there must've been someone in Junjun's past that said similar things and Sayumi's words/reactions reminded Junjun of the girl. :)
-
JUNJUN JUST WANTS THE BEST FOR SAYUMI, OK?!
at least.. that's the way i think... i'm just being optimist :D
but seriously, that was offending junjun! whatever good intentions behind such... such... illegal act of rejecting something very very very nice ( XD )
better luck next time :D
thanks for the 56.5 chappie. i'm still not complaining..
but it would still be very much appreciated if you do another one :)
-
Oh...I think my eyes will be the same as Lin and Aika... :shocked
But...Eh?
Jun always be the one who want that from Sayu the most...but why did she stop :shocked
wait for the next chap, thanks for your hard work :bow:
-
What happened????
-
... :shocked
Excuse my language, but Junjun... WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?! :angry:
I was so happy while reading this, but then I felt like punching someone in the face!
SarangAi, you're so evil, you know that?
-
can you throw me down a building ....? :fainted:
....Evil SarangAi...you're evil!!! :on redcard:
Sayu!!! ... :mon cry:
Jun!!! WTF with U??? Ahhhh i'm so angry with Jun ... i could eat a banana in this moment... :mon wtfmm:
but i know what my stomach possibly hurt because I'm so frustrated... :mon barf:
anyway...great chappie :note:
PD: this is a subliminal message >:D
MOAR Takagaki MOAR Takagaki is good for your eyes ...MOAR Takagaki....you can pass your exams MOAR Takagaki :on hypto:
-
my goodness i'd love to be living with sayu~ XD i'd probably get megga fat thanks to the endless cakes XD but the end! THE END!
WTH HAPPENED WITH JUNKO?! maybe she was shocked that sayu really wanted them to...get down XD or like maybe juns never really gone that far and reality hit her?(idk i cant remember if jun is a virgin or not XDD or if it was even mentioned XD)
cant wait for the next one~ X3 tanakame or takagaki....u know i love the later but either (or both) will be good XD :deco:
-
@Bamtai: lol yeah, the kei thing was totally random; didn't even plan for it :lol:
@rndmnwierd: oh yes, TanaKame will be main screen soon enough :D
@Kikk4r: Eh~ but it's still a year away from when Risa will be 18... you wanna wait that long? :twisted:

@XcuteX: lol i've told... :twisted: :twisted: MWA HA HA
@gab98: LOL but i promised that this would be a TanaKame main story!!! But don't worry, TakaGaki will still be there! :P
@kawaii beam: lol i don't think i've mentioned it... but i mean, it's junjun... chances are that she's VERY experienced :twisted:
Thank you so much for all the comments! There were so many this time around, i couldn't reply to every single aspect, but i was grinning like an idiot as i was reading all the posts. you guys make my day :twothumbs :wub:
I'm seeing a LOT of predictions and theories here, and i'm glad that last chapter got everyone thinking~ well, of course, i won't reveal the answer yet... you'll all have to wait a bit longer! :lol:
But i feel like next chapter will be pretty intriguing. It might even get me some anti-fans but... :nervous
I promise, everything will be alright! :D
-
Oh god, now what are you going to do? You can't just tease like that and then not update for another two weeks, so please!! Please! Please! Wait, wait, if it's anti-fans, you must be about to screw with Takagaki! :panic: :panic: :panic:
-
^

-
^

It's actually not that big of a deal, I'm just making some scandal here. XD
And no, I'm not splitting anyone up... yet :twisted:
But don't worry about it too much, just enjoy for now~ I may be evil but you know I like happy endings as much as any of you guys do :twothumbs
That being said, one more chapter before the weekdays start! :lol:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 58
“And we’ll stop there for today,” Takahashi-sensei announced, closing her notebook as the sound of the school bell resonanted in the room. “Make sure to read tonight’s chapter and—Oh! Everyone needs to stay here for an extended homeroom today; our iinchou has a little announcement. Niigaki-san?”
“Hai!” Risa answered, standing up immediately. The first period of the day had just ended, completeing Takahashi-sensei’s daily lecture. The homeroom period that came after usually allowed the students to socialize at a reasonable volume during necessary PA announcements by the principal, but today was a little different.
The bean walked up to the front of the room and got up on the podium. Ai stepped to the side to make room for the young girl, and smiled at her. Risa smiled back shyly, before changing her face to that of a determined leader’s. When she cleared her throat, the room fell silent, curious as to what she was about to say.
“This morning, all the class representatives of the school have been instructed,” Risa said, grinning, “to announce start of Haro Kotogakko’s annual school festival!”
The room stayed silent as everybody stared at the cheerful iinchou. Then, the groans and the complaining started up as the students started to express their laziness, especially the boys.
“What, that’s the exciting announcement?” one boy groaned. “I should’ve figured, anything coming from Iinchou…”
“What are you trying to say, Kuroda-kun?” Eri yelled, standing up for her friend. “There’s nothing wrong with what Risa-chan says. Sure, it’s boring sometimes, and really annoying, and dull, and useless, and—”
“Not helping, Kameha!” the bean shouted from the podium, rolling her eyes. “Come on, guys, it’ll be fun. I thought everyone loved school festivals.”
“Don’t get us wrong; we do love them,” a girl with long black hair said. “It’s just really time-consuming and difficult to prepare for it.”
“Yeah, I know, Maa-chan,” Risa smiled. “And the PTA knows that too. That’s why this year, they’ve offered up a prize. One class in each grade that makes the most profit from their exhibit will get—”
“What, a piece of candy?” another boy scoffed.
“An all-night karaoke party, fully stocked with snacks, all covered by the PTA!” the bean announced.
This time, the reaction was not silence. Rather, it was cheering. Immediately, the tension rose up as the students started to talk amongst themselves as to how awesome such a karoke party would be. And the fact that they wouldn’t have to pay just made everything even more tempting.
“Maa, maa, minna, settle down!” Risa chided, bring the classroom to silence again. “I know it’s really exciting to have this kind of prize laid out in front of us. But if we want it, we really do have to work for it! So right now, we’re going pick out our exhibit’s theme and make some minor decisions. So who has an idea as to what we could do?”
“How about a café?” one girl suggested. “All the girls can dress in cute maid outfits and the guys can wear collar-shirts and pants.”
“Chii, the hot waiter at a café concept usually only works when you actually have hot guys,” another girl snickered. “And that obviously doesn’t apply to our class.”
“Ha-ha, you’re funny, Sugaya,” one of the boys said sarcastically. “It’s not like we would want to wear that kind of outfit anyway.”
“Okay, okay, so the café idea is out,” Risa intervened. “Any other suggestions?”
“How about a haunted house?” a tall girl with brown hair asked.
“Isn’t that a little too generic, Kuma-chan?” a different girl said. “A bunch of classes will probably ask to do that, so our request will probably get rejected.”
“Yeah, Nakki is right,” the bean said. “We really have to do something special, something no other class would do.”
“How about we put on a play?” another girl proposed. “We’re obviously the most genki class in the second year; no other class will probably have the guts to act on stage and all that, you know? We could ask to use the auditorium.”
“That’s actually not such a bad idea, Asami-chan,” Risa said. “Are you guys up for it?”
“I like it!” the girl sitting next to Asami exclaimed. “I think it could be really good if we do that!
“Sure, Ogawa agrees,” a boy smirked. “If it’s anything Konno says, Ogawa will too.”
“Yeah, you can’t take it just from Ogawa!” another guy said.
“It’s not just Mako-chan,” Chinami said quickly. “I like that idea too! I think it’ll be fun.”
“Yeah, I don’t think any other class would do such a thing, right?” Risako smiled.
“And I’m in the theatre club too!” Saki said, raising her hand. “I can easily get my hand on any script. We can use the costumes and props as well.”
“Alright then, is it settled?” Risa grinned. “Are we doing a play?”
“I’m for it!” Eri said, putting her hands up in the air. Many other students slowly agreed as one by one, each hand rose up.
“Okay, now that’s done and over with,” the bean said. “Now we have to pick a play.”
“Let’s go with a classic,” Maasa suggested. “Maybe a fairytale?”
“Will that kind of story really be enough to capture the audience?” the boy named Kuroda asked.
“I think just that fact that we’ll be acting in it will make it interesting enough,” Yurina said. “How about… Snow White?”
“Classic,” Risa grinned. “But I don’t think anybody is short enough to play a dwarf in here. Anything else?”
“Jack and the Beanstalk!” one boy yelled. “Everybody knows that story.”
“Yeah, but in case you haven’t noticed, Oshima, that cast involves only two people,” Makoto said, rolling her eyes. “How about Sleeping Beauty? I think that’s pretty doable.”
“Hm… yeah, it won’t too hard to perform,” Risa mumbled to herself.
“There’s a script for that in the club files somewhere,” Saki said. “I can get a copy for everyone.”
“Alright then, all in favor?” Risa asked. Once again, the hands started to rise up into the air slowly. Most of the girls agreed immediately as opposed to the guys who had a slower reaction. It seemed that they just wanted to pick something and get it over with, but that didn’t matter too much. “Okay, Sleeping Beauty it is! Now for the cast…”
“May I?” Saki said, standing up. The girl skipped to the front of the room and grabbed a chalk. Then, she started to list all the parts in the play.
“Arigatou, Nakki,” Risa smiled. “Well, then, let’s get this done and over with. Who wants a part in the play?”
A couple of hands went up immediately. There was definitely enough to fill the cast so Risa wasn’t too worried about that. But something else caught her eye, causing her to frown.
“Hey, none of the guys want to be in the play?” the bean asked.
“You know us, Iinchou,” Kuroda sighed. “We’re too lazy to memorize that kind of stuff. We’ll only be burdens.”
“But you have to participate somehow!” Risa argued.
“Yeah, so we’ll do manual labor,” the boy shrugged. “We can make the set and stuff… woodworking isn’t that big of a deal. Right, guys?”
Energetic answers of agreement filled the room. Risa sighed as she looked at the chalkboard with the castlist and then back to the class.
“But… we can’t have an all-female cast…”
“Actually, that’s not such a bad idea, I think,” Asami said. “That could be what will draw the people in, curiosity as to how an all-female cast fares.”
“Yeah, we could be like Takarazuka!” Makoto grinned. “Only without the singing and stuff.”
Murmurs of agreement followed, slowly convincing Risa. She looked at her teacher, who just shrugged and nodded at her to give her the go. This was a student activity; the class was free to do whatever they wanted for the festival as long as no school rules were broken. Risa sighed as she smiled back at her fellow peers.
“Alright then, we’ll have an all-female cast,” she announced. “Let’s choose parts, then. Any volunteers or suggestions to be the Queen?”
“I want to be the Queen!” Asami smiled, raising her hand. “I’ve always wanted to wear a dress.”
“Okay, Konno Asami as the Queen,” Risa said, cueing Saki to write it on the board. “Next is… the King?”
“Oh, me!” Makoto yelled, her hand shooting up. “Pick me!”
“Yeah, yeah, I’m already writing it,” Saki grinned, causing some of the students to chuckle amongst themselves.
“Alright then… the fairies?” Risa read from the board. “We need three of them.”
“I’ll be one!” Chinami said.
“Me too!” Maasa exclaimed. “And I volunteer Kuma-chan!”
“Eh~ But I think I’m too tall to fit into any of the theatre club costumes…” Yurina worried.
“We can adjust them, don’t worry,” Saki comforted, writing down the names.
“Okay then… the witch?” the bean asked. “Who wants to be that?”
“I think Sugaya would be great for that,” Kuroda snickered. “Very evil, right?”
“Oh, you’re funny,” Risako said, glaring at the boy.
“Actually, I kind of think you’d be good at that too,” Chinami giggled.
“Yeah, something about you screams elegance… and darkness,” Yurina grinned.
“Oh, come on, not you guys too!” Risako groaned.
“You don't have to do it if you don’t want to, Ricchan,” Iinchou grinned, shrugging.
“Well… if no one else wants to, I’ll do it,” Risako sighed. “For the class.”
“Honorable,” Saki snickered.
“Okay then… next up is… the princess?” Risa said. “And we need a prince too.”
“How about Nakki gets the princess part?” one guys recommended. “She’s the most experienced out of all of us anyway, right?”
“Actually, I wanted to be the director for this…” Saki mumbled. “Is that okay?”
“That’s fine, we need that too,” the bean nodded. “Anybody else for princess?”
“I think Eri-chan would be good for this,” Asami suggested. “Something tells me she’d be really cute with it.”
“EH? Atashi?” Eri said, pointing at herself as her eyes widened. “I-I don’t know…”
“I think Kamei would be good at it too,” another guy agreed. “Something about her being an air-head seems to fit the princess well… you know, how she doesn’t listen to her godmothers and ends up getting stabbed by a spindle?”
“… I’m not even going to answer that,” Eri grumbled, leering at the boy. “I mean, I don’t know if I’d be good enough to be the princess.”
“I think Eri-chan would be fine at it,” Saki said slowly, grinning as an idea popped into her head. “And then Iinchou can be the prince!”
“Yeah, I can be the—HA?” Risa yelled, staring at the girl next to her in shock. “Oh, no, no, no, I can’t be the prince. I can’t do that.”
“Oh, come on,” Saki smiled. “We all know you and Eri-chan are the best of friends. I think the chemistry you guys have will be really good for your parts. Who’s with me?”
Loud exclamations of agreements filled the room. Some even started to clap, urging the two friends to take up their parts. Risa quickly looked at her teacher a couple feet away from her. Ai had a small smile on, quite intrigued by the way this was turning out. The bean turned to the turtle, who just shrugged.
“Okay, fine, fine!” Risa groaned. “I’ll be the prince if Eri takes her part too.”
“I’ll be the princess if Risa-chan is the prince,” the turtle smiled.
“Great, everything’s settled,” Saki said quickly, writing up the names while a couple of the students cheered. “It’s great that you two are the main couple here; it’ll be less awkward with the kiss scene then.”
“Yeah, less awkward with the—WHAT?” Risa shouted.
“What did you just say?!” Eri also yelled, her eyes growing wide.
“The kiss scene,” Saki said calmly, shrugging. “You know, when the prince kisses the princess to wake her up from the deep slumber? True love’s kiss?”
“You guys are best friends; it’s no big deal, right?” Makoto grinned.
“Yeah, this is really perfect,” Chinami nodded. “Eri-chan and Gaki-san will be the perfect fairy tale couple!”
“It’s just one kiss,” Saki grinned.
“Ha-ha… right… one kiss…” Eri laughed nervously, slowly imagining the kind of face her girlfriend would make if she found out about this.
“Yeah… simple… no biggie…” Risa mumbled. Except that we both already have girlfriends! One of which is in this room…
The bean slowly turned her head to the teacher, who was leaning on the wall. The friendly smile that she had on before was now formed into a tight light. She was still trying to force some sort of smile but obviously, her face couldn’t betray her true feelings. She was not happy.
Oh boy… Risa thought to herself, biting down on her lips. This isn’t going to be pretty…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That was kinda fun to write. So many new characters... XD
Well, a school festival is pretty typical for a Japanese school, right? it's a classic~ :P
Next chapter is also kind of a mix-up but mainly TanaKame :twothumbs
:byebye: :sleep:
-
XD OH GOD :rofl: risa's reaction was so funny! XDD i can totally imaginr the "HA?!" right now XDDD as well as ai's bright fmile slowly turning into an unplesent one that only risa really noticed ^^; plus it seems that if reina finds out all hell would break loose...kowaii!! D: cant wait for the next one~! i wonder if eri will tell reina or will reina just find out by the day of the play or through someone...plus i'd love to see how jeallous ai-chan will get with this~ :twisted:
great job as usuall aiai~ :deco:
-
^Darn you kawaii beam! Next time, I shall post first!! :lol: :lol:
Oh so, school festival! I always love watching that stuff in animes. XD Cafe, blah, haunted house, not on Ai's watch! So, then a play!
Snow White? Something tells me they didn't quite think that through. XD XD
And reaction time!
“Ha-ha… right… one kiss…” Eri laughed nervously, slowly imagining the kind of face her girlfriend would make if she found out about this.
“Yeah… simple… no biggie…” Risa mumbled. Except that we both already have girlfriends! One of which is in this room…
The bean slowly turned her head to the teacher, who was leaning on the wall. The friendly smile that she had on before was now formed into a tight light. She was still trying to force some sort of smile but obviously, her face couldn’t betray her true feelings. She was not happy.
Now how are they going to get past that one? I already have a few simple ideas, but it will be more amusing to see Ai and Reina's possessive reactions, especially Ai's, on their girlfriends later.
-
I literally went, "Yes! Yes!" with my fists in the air when I read that there would be a school festival. :mon money:
Kyaaa~!!! I can't help the squealing! Just imagine when Reina finds out and Ai-chan is already quite uncomfortable with it~! I know it'll be bad, but I just love it! :twisted:
Haha, I kinda expected Ai-chan to be in the play too, but this shall be very interesting. :grin: :grin:
I'll turn a bit emo when the heartbreak comes, but since you love happy endings as much as we do, I'm not too worried.
Great, now I'm totally excited! :twothumbs
-
awwww GakiKame :wub: Aichan doesn't seem happy about it :lol: can't wait for Reina's reaction :panic:
-
man missed a couple of chapters!!!
chap 57: Wow, I suppose Sayu really is the princess living in such a house, even with thier own dog trainer. Seeems as though she was ready to give in to Jun's advances but Jun pulled back?!? Was it some sort of test by Jun? something that Sayu did not past, perhpas Jun was shocked by Sayu's sudden change in character or maybe it's that through all she has done perhapa Jun's bark may be worse than her bite.....
chap 58: Oh dear school plays....
“Yeah, so we’ll do manual labor,” the boy shrugged. “We can make the set and stuff… woodworking isn’t that big of a deal. Right, guys?”
Energetic answers of agreement filled the room. R
:lol: this reminds me of me, I was usally quick to volanteer to do props! :doh:
Oh dear, seems as though Eri and Gaki may end up in a spot of bother, I wonder.... Reina seems very mudh like the jealous type so it seems as though poor Eri may be in for a spot of bother, I would of though Ai would of been OK with it but it seems that she is not OK with it at all :panic: Perhpas though Gaki may use this to her advantage to get what she really wants from Ai ( :wub: you all know ehat I mean!) jealousy perhaps??? :P
-
OMG THAT'S SO CUTE!!! [and omg, that's so fast!]
i came back hoping to reread the panda and bunny action, but i was quite stunned by the unfamiliarity from the way i left this thread yesterday (or this morning? i can't really remember)
ahhh~ sooo anothherr cute chappiieee was added :cathappy:
Not that i don't mind seeing the bean and turtle kiss, i'm a GakiKame freak too :deco:
i feel sorry for sensei though.. hahaha. maybe she's thinking that they should continue what (sexy thing) they were doing before as soon as possible... hahaha. yeah they should. THEY SHOULD, AUTHOR-SAN! [cum'on!]
excite excited excited :cow:
-
I enjoyed reading this chapter very much. :heart:
Poor Ai, I feel bad for her. :cry: And oh man, Reina is gonna be pissed when she finds out. XD
-
@mmsuki: wow, glad you remembered that! even i was starting to forget... :lol:
how can i forget!! that was one of my favorite scenes!! :P i will always remember it!! XD and besides i have reread it a couple of times i have it imprinted on my brain!! :P
Chapter 57
wow! Sayu is f'n rich.. :shocked as in.. f'nnnnnnnn rich!! :lol:
i'm really curious what made Junjun stop.. hmmmmmmmmm.. i'm sure its not because she didn't want to.. she did initiate the intimacy... something 'hit' her that moment.. XD
Chapter 58
aside from looking forward to reading this chapter.. i was also interested to see what you were pertaining to as to what would cause some 'anti-fans'..
but when it got to this part:
“How about we put on a play?” another girl proposed.
i knew, what it would cause it, the GakiKame combi that would be playing the leads!! XD muahahahaha.. :ding:
but i was kinda hoping for a Cinderella play instead.. LOL! and then out of the blue Takahashi-sensei would be forced to play the prince.. lmao.. XD irony..
The bean slowly turned her head to the teacher, who was leaning on the wall. The friendly smile that she had on before was now formed into a tight light. She was still trying to force some sort of smile but obviously, her face couldn’t betray her true feelings. She was not happy.
LOL!!!! :lol: love this scene!! i'm sucker for jealous girlfriend scenes.. :rofl: can't wait for the Yankii Kitten's reaction as well!! hahaha.. especially since they just got over this topic.. :lol: but even so, Reina is CRAZY possessive!! can't wait can't wait can't wait!! :panic:
-
i was really waiting for the worst when you said you'll problably get some anti-fans XD
but this is really interesting i thought Ai would be like all mature and be like ohh it's nothing just a kiss and all that but reading her reaction ,well i wonder how Reina is going to react LOL i wonder if this would help Gaki to get what she wants from Ai sensei with all this jealous thing :twisted: ...maybe not XD
-
The school festival always good XD
I love having a walk, but I hate preparing :yawn:
The plays and dance always catch me :D
But...the death feeling has come... :panic:
Ai-chan was uncomfortable to let Gaki-han to...even that is her girlfriend's best friend
and Reina... I feel like our turtle will be in the boiled pot if Reina found out... :panic:
Thanks for the best chap as ever :bow:
-
rereading this chapter i just realised osmething...ai cant be completly jealous if she helps risa practice her lines...that means that they could practice that kiss too.. :inlove: XD just a random realization XD
-

@rndmnwierd: lol you mean Sleeping Beauty? :lol:
@kano-chan: lol well, it's not really a story without some angst, right? :P
@shenlog: lol the jealous girlfriends~~ :lol:
@oddball: ooh~ nice theory there :D
@aya-chii: LOL "sexy thing?" I have no idea what you could mean... :mon innocent:
@XcuteX: lol glad you liked it~~ XD
@mmsuki: WOW I need to go back and read my own story or something, cuz I definitely don't remember all that :lol: i was gonna make it cinderella, but i just couldn't imagine eri as cinderella without thinking about portia... and pink/brown hair :nervous
@sunc: ooh~ glad you like it! I though there would be a lot of antifans because it seemed from the voting polls that not a lot of people are fans of GakiKame.. :nervous
@Shiawase_Honoo: lol i know, right? But school events are always fun~ (at least i usually find them to be) :D
@kawaii beam (again): WOAH DING LIGHTBULB JUST WENT ON IN MY HEAD. You mind if I adapt your idea? not completely, but just a bit.. :twisted:
@Kikk4r: well, even though Ai and Risa like to be mature about these things, it's still pretty infuriating if you need to watch your girlfriend kiss someone other than yourself, you know? :P
Thank you so much for all the comments/thanks! As usual, I read all of them during classes and stuff... and i almost got caught cuz i was grinning stupidly again. Typical me... :lol:
Well, I'm glad that a lot of people aren't so against the GakiKame bit I put in, and found it interesting instead. Recently, I've been planning out a lot of the far future for this story, and i'm getting some good ideas, so look forward to it! :twothumbs
-
All I know is,
Reina.
Will.
Be.
PIIIIIIIIIISSED. XD
AndIguessTakahashisenseitoo...
Can't wait to see what you do with this :wahaha:
-
Gaki, Kame carefully! Reina jealous - it's dangerous :twisted:
Сurious to see the reaction of Reina in the final scene. It will be something like: :shock: :err: :on shady: :angry1:
-
Reina was already jealous about Gaki, now she might actually hate her with passion :grr:
feel sorry for GakiKame, having to kiss someone in front of your girlfriend... not nice at all
I bet Aichan inside feels like 'this can't be happening' :tantrum:
-
Wow~the drama is starting once again. I have a feeling that Reina would definitely be angry once she hears about this. As for Ai, tsk tsk tsk, poor girl, have to witness everything herself. At least Reina can't do anything about it since she's not even part of the school, but Ai is the teacher. :lol:
“You have to do it if you don’t want to, Ricchan,” Iinchou grinned, shrugging.
I think you meant to say that "you DON'T have to do it if you don't want to". I thought I'd point this out so it will clear some misunderstandings, even though people just read over the line anyway. :P
-
@rndmnwierd: lol you mean Sleeping Beauty? :lol:
:doh: Of course, that's what I said, totally. :sweatdrop:
-
I can't even made it for the 57 :cry: when the 58 came out XD
You're the hell out of a writer :twothumbs
Now now.. I have no time to my hidden pleasure like fanfics X_X because my Job take the best of my day and almost night x_x so please excuse my lack of comments T_T
I found my job's wi.fi's password again XD so with that I can use my PSP and check out the forum =D ~
I will give u, futures propers comments from it x)
BTW.. Japanese School's Festival is a Classic... I was wondering if you would made them play Ribbon no Kishi jajajaja, but them I thought, that's too easy... and I sure I guess Sleeping Beauty was the right choice, that or Cinderella (I don't know, but I'm a sucker for that fairytale. Especially after watching the version with Drew Barrymore "Ever After" *w* love it <3 too XD)
When Reina realize her GF's role. She would love to be the WITCH xD mmmmmmmmmm....
And I can feel Ai.Chan's jealous from here ~ I was thinking maybe one of those days Ai.chan could be walking and crossed paths with Eri and just like that, she would made Eri fall like nothing happend (knowing how clumsy our turtle is) and then she'll have an excuse to take her role ~ xD
I know ~ I'm Evil :twisted:
If they would't be in different school I can bet Reina'll think the same 8)
PS: Damn I don't know how much mistakes I have on this comment xD forgive me :heart:
-
@Avatard000: well, you're about to find out~ XD
@nighell: lol.. maybe XD
@shenlog: lol a lot more childish about this on the inside, huh? :P
@sapphire: omg yes, sorry about that, i fixed it! lack of time means lack of editing.. :nervous
@rndmnwierd: yeah, okay, sure. :P XD
@Haruka: aww~ thank you for taking the effort the post a comment even though you're so busy! and yay for WiFi! :D
Okay, quick update before I sleep! :cow:
Personally, I don't think this chapter came out as interesting as I wanted it to be... sorry, I rushed :sweatdrop:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 59
“A school festival?” Reina repeated her girlfriend’s words, biting down on the rusk in her hand. “That sounds fun. Are kids from other schools allowed to go?”
Eri reached forward for another rusk from the big bowl on the coffee table. She and her lover, along with their yankii friends, were all sitting around in the living room. Reina and Eri were snuggled close to each other on the large soft while Junjun had half-forcibly placed the bunny on her lap; Aika and Linlin were on the floor to get within the closest radius of the rusk bowl as possible. For once, Junjun had intruded upon the kitten’s home with something in compensation, which was a bag of rusk that was pretty popular these days. Part of the reason the panda bought this was also to give her girlfriend a taste of what “common” dessert was like; after that delicious feast that Sayumi had presented to her friends the day before, the yankiis had felt the need to somehow return the favor, no matter how little.
“Yeah, it’s opened to all,” Eri answered the kitten. “You should all come by.”
“Awesome, I love school festivals!” Junjun grinned. “Why isn’t our school doing something like that?”
“If you recall, genius, we did have them annually until this year,” Reina growled at her friend, “because last year, you broken down almost every single booth. So the headmaster cancelled all school events, remember?”
“Hey, I had to fight back somehow,” the yankii leader said in her defense.
“What happened?” the bunny asked with a curious face.
“Our enemy gang decided to crash the festival to get back at Jun-senpai for beating down their leader,” Aika smirked. “We sure showed them, though.”
“Oh, I remember that!” Linlin exclaimed. “That was fun.”
“Yeah, your entertainment at the cost of everyone else’s recreation,” Reina shot at her underclassmen. “If you guys are coming to Eri’s festival, you have to promise not to do such a thing.”
“Yeah, we promise,” Junjun grinned. “I’m bringing lots of friends, though. Usa-chan, you’re going to come along too, right?”
Sayumi didn’t answer. She was staring intently at the corner of the coffee table, her eyes slightly glazed over. Reina and raised an eyebrow as Junjun waved her hand in front of the bunny’s face.
“Oi! Usa-chan!”
“Huh? Huh?” Sayumi blinked and quickly looked around, eventually spotting all the concerned expressions around her.
“I asked you if you wanted to go to the school festival at Kame-chan’s school,” Junjun restated. “You’ve been homeshooled so far, so this will be your first right? It’ll be fun.”
“Um… yeah, yeah, I want to go… I’ll go…” Sayumi mumbled.
“Are you okay, Michishige-san?” Eri asked, her face showing worry. “You seem kind of out of it right now…”
“Yes, I’m fine,” the bunny answered, forcing a smile. “I was… just thinking about things.”
“What were you thinking of?” Junjun asked. Sayumi turned her head and angled it so that she could meet eyes with her lover. The yankii leader’s smile was perfectly structured, as though it had been practiced. Sayumi quickly looked away, not wanting to remember the rejection she had experienced the day before.
“Nothing,” she mumbled. “I was just spacing out.”
“Well then, if Usa-chan is okay,” Junjun said quickly, refusing to let the silence sink in, “Let’s move on. Aika, I think this festival calls for another gang reunion.”
“Already on it,” the kouhai grinned, saluting her leader. “Linlin, would you like to do the honors?”
“Got it,” the younger panda said, whipping out her cell phone. Her fingers started to tap over the keypad at the speed of light before she quickly shut it and put it away. “Forwarded a message to everyone on the contact list.”
“Whatever it is you’re doing, Kame-chan, we’ll make sure your class gets business,” Junjun grinned, giving a thumbs-up.
“Good, because it’s a competition between the classes to see who makes the most profit,” Eri smiled.
“Exactly what is your class doing?” Reina asked, crunching down on another rusk.
“Ah… um… we’re putting on a play,” Eri answered, trying to remain calm.
“That’s cool,” the kitten nodded. “What play?”
“Sleeping Beauty.”
“Kawaii~” Sayumi commented, beaming. “It sounds like so much fun!”
“Are you in it too?” Reina questioned, meeting eyes with her lover, who was getting pretty nervous now.
“Um… yeah, I am…” Oh boy, here it comes…
“What part are you playing?”
“… The princess,” Eri mumbled.
Junjun burst out laughing as the rest of the room fell silent. Reina blinked a couple times before raising an eyebrow at the panda. Aika and Linlin started to snicker to themselves, as though they had just gotten the joke that their leader was laughing over. Sayumi looked back and forth from the younger yankiis to her girlfriend, confused.
“What’s… so funny?” Eri asked.
“Well, isn’t it ironic?” Junjun said, grinning. “How you and Reina originally got together because you were mistaken as a boy… and now you’re going to be a princess? With dresses and all that?” The girl fell into a fit of laughter once more as Aika and Linlin freely released their amusement as well.
“Well… I think it’s really cute,” Sayumi said quietly, smiling at the turtle. “Fairy tales never grow old, with the magic and the forest and the true love’s kiss…”
“True love’s kiss.” Reina whipped her head around to look at Eri, who was obviously trying to avoid eye contact. The kitten cleared her throat as her lips formed a tight smile. “… Eri? … Are you going to be kissing someone?”
“… Uh… I, uh…” The turtle mumbled incoherently, staring at the floor.
“… Who is it,” Reina said stiffly, not even phrasing it as a question, since it was more of a demand to know.
“You know, there’s actually a funny story about that,” Eri said suddenly, laughing nervously. “You see, none of the boys in my class wanted to be in the cast; they wanted to do backstage work, so… we have an all-female cast.”
“Who is it.”
“It’s like Takarazuka,” Sayumi said, fully absorbed in the idea now.
“Exactly correct,” Eri grinned.
“Who is it.”
“Is there singing, too?” Aika asked.
“Nope, no singing,” Eri answered.
“Who is it.”
“What’s Takarazuka?” Linlin asked.
“It’s an all-female theatre troupe,” Eri explained.
“KAMEI ERI, WHO THE HELL IS IT?” Reina yelled, finally cracking from the turtle’s obvious attempt to avoid her question. Sayumi along with the two younger girls slightly jumped in shock at the sudden loud outburst. Junjun smirked a little, simply entertained by this minor couple fight. Eri swallowed hard as she met her girlfriend’s angry eyes.
“It’s… uh… Risa-chan.”
Eri squeaked as quietly as possible while she nervously assessed Reina’s reaction. She was braced for the worst, expecting some sort of angry outburst at this frustrating situation. However, what Eri saw on the kitten’s face was something she had not predicted. Reina’s face did not show fury, but something quite far from it. She was… sad. She stared down at her hands as she froze in place, as though in deep thought. She bit down on her lips a little, as though she was conflicted, while her eyes revealed sorrow. It almost seemed as though she was deciding whether or not to scold her girlfriend, but there was no decision to be made. Her true feeling was not anger… it was loneliness.
“Reina…?” Eri asked quietly. She felt that it was nice not having her girlfriend get furious with her, but the fact that she was acting differently from what was expected ironically scared the turtle even more.
“… Can I be honest with you?” the kitten asked quietly, finally looking up to gaze into Eri’s deep, concerned eyes.
“Of course you can,” the turtle answered back with the same low volume, if not lower. “I want you to be.”
“Then… I don’t like it.”
“Huh?”
“I don’t like it,” Reina repeated, curling up into a ball to hold herself together. “I don’t like that you’re going to be kissing Gaki-san. Even if it’s just acting. I should be the only one. I don’t like it.”
Eri blinked a couple times in surprise. She had definitely expected the kitten to be against this idea, but she hadn’t expected her to be so calm in dealing with it. But when she looked intently into Reina’s eyes, she could understand. Reina didn’t want to have a fight with Eri again; last time was the first and that was enough. She knew that she had to work hard to suppress her too-spontaneous character, especially when she knew this wasn’t Eri’s fault. And the turtle appreciated that.
“Reina—” Eri stopped short as she felt a couple pairs of eyes staring at her like shooting daggers. She glared at the four girls watching the scene intently and cleared her throat. “Do you guys mind?”
“… Well, gang,” Junjun sighed, grinning. “I guess it’s time for us to leave. How does a movie at my house sound?”
“Let’s stop by the video shop, then!” Aika said, getting on her feet while pulling Linlin up as well.
“And some snacks at the convenience store?” Linlin grinned.
“You up for it, Usa-chan?” Junjun asked the girl on her lap.
“Um… yeah, sure,” Sayumi mumbled back. Was she the only one who felt awkward right now? Well, it was better than going home where she would be all alone…
“Enjoy the rusk, Reina,” Junjun saluted to the ex-yankii, pulling the bunny off her lap to stand up. “See you around, Kame-chan.”
Hastily, the yankii girls moved out of the living room as they gathered their school bags on the way. After a couple seconds, Eri could hear the front door close. She assumed that Junjun probably locked it with the spare key, since there was the sound of the lock turning as well. Then, there was silence in the large house as Eri looked at her lover apologetically while Reina just leaned her head on one of the sofa cushions shoved in by her neck and shoulder.
“Reina, I know you’re upset,” Eri comforted in the most soothing voice she could manage. “But… if it helps… we’re not really going to kiss. It’s just a light peck, right here.” She raised her index finger to point to the place right by the corner of her lips. “It’s not a real kiss.”
“I still don’t like it,” Reina admitted, sighing. “I mean, I’m not going to stop you from doing it; it’s your school festival. But, I mean… I’m just trying to be honest, I guess…”
“I’m glad you are,” Eri smiled warmly, running her hand over the kitten’s hair. “I want you to know that there is actually nothing to be worried about. You know me and Risa-chan; we’re not like that. And you know I like kissing you the most.”
“I could say the same thing,” Reina murmured, smiling. “And speaking of kissing…”
The kitten scooted forward a little until she naturally ended up on Eri’s lap. Wrapping her arms around the turtle’s neck, she kissed the soft lips that she had longed for all day. Eri was surprised to see Reina getting into the kiss very quickly; she was obviously trying to make sure her claim on the turtle’s love was still valid. The kitten was very determined; after this kiss, Eri would not even dream of being with someone else… or at least, she hoped.
A quiet moan sounded from Eri’s throat as she responded to her lover’s advances easily. Soon enough, they were fighting for dominance, swirling their tongues around each other’s to see who would get short of breath first. But before this battle could reach its peack, Reina broke away and leaned her forehead against Eri’s shoulder instead, hiding her face.
“Reina?” the turtle asked, slightly alarmed. “What’s wrong?”
“Mm… nothing…” she mumbled. “Just… it’s just that it’s only two days away.”
Then, it hit her. It came back to Eri that one of Reina’s biggest obstacles was about to come soon; a face-off with her father. It was odd enough that he was coming for a visit, but not knowing the reason was even scarier. And Eri could feel that fear from her girlfriend’s nervous heartbeat.
“It’s okay, love,” Eri murmured softly, wrapping her arms protectively around the kitten. “I’ll be right here with you. Anytime you need me, I’m right here.”
“Does that mean you’ll stay with me tonight too?” Reina asked, lifting her head to gaze into Eri’s eyes. “Hold me…?”
“I wouldn’t want it any other way,” Eri smiled. Well, the truth was that she did want it some other way, if they were going to lie down in bed together… but she was willing to wait. Right now, a crisis was brewing for Reina. And during these nervous times, Eri didn’t mind restricting herself to just merely embracing the kitten as they slept together, to help her feel safe. Reina’s being was always first on the list.
“Two days…” Reina mumbled, sighing shakily. Her hands fumbled around by themselves until they found Eri’s two perfect hands. She grasped them, as though she felt the need to stablilize herself. “Promise me you won’t leave me. Ever.”
Eri smiled as she leaned in closer to get only an inch away from Reina’s beautiful face, forcing her to make eye contact. She then softly kissed her lover’s trembling lips, transferring her own warmth to her mouth. Then, she quietly whispered a pledge into the kiss.
“I promise.”

-
Oh dear so Reina found out but she was sad rather than angry? Hmm I wonder is perhpas the imminent arrival of her father is weighing heavily on her mind, like she feels she may loose Eri becuase of it or something or maybe it is Reina remebering thier last bif fight and she just dosn't want it to happen again.
Seems as though poor Sayu still has Jun's 'recejection' weighing on her mind, like we she must be wondering why.....
-
It's not in my guessing :shocked
But well enough that Reina is so calm (because I don't want to see the turtle is in the boiled pot this time around :nervous)
Oh...Next chap would be fun :wub:
Thanks for hard working :bow:
-
chap brings to the sadness, imao...
End at the same time gentle and maybe... sad? beautiful
SarangAi, thanks for these emotions that were right on target :)
-
Omg.. A lot of updates!
I finally have the time to read and review.. So happy with all the updates..
I wonder what happened to JunJun being so distant.. Something happened in the past?
School festival time! I'm imagining prince Gaki from Cinderella the musical XD
Ai-sensei gets jealous XD and I thought Reina is going to get angry again.. Yep.. It's good to see Reina handle it maturely..
-
damn your fast but i like it this way :twothumbs
yeah i know i wouldnt want somebody else then me kissing a person i love
but reinas reaction arent that much of a suprise :nervous
two days are to much to wait (for me that is :nervous)
and ais going to flipp a cant wait for it and you let reina know awww XD
-
It's toooooooo sweet! I got a question to you,
You see I just confessed to a girl that i like her but she didn't have any reaction, not even a 'YUCK!'
What does that mean???
She's too much of an ice queen, it would be fine for me to just hear her say yuck... at least she said something...
-
This school festival is definitely going to be the best that has ever been seen!! :D Gaki as a prince is simply too KAKKOIII!!! :w00t: And Eri as a princess, this will be really interesting :yep:
As for Ai-chan I'm looking forward how she will handle all the rehearsals and practice for the kissing scene :P I hope we will be able to see her possessive and little jealous side too :twisted:
-
Reina's all calm and mature... and i was hoping for massive outburst and turtle soup maybe :dunno:
Sayu seems still upset about Jun's rejection, seriously Jun cool your beans, sort yourself out and don't reject Sayu anymore :scolding:
If Reina's calm and acting all mature, then Aichan should be extremely childish, jealous and possessive :kekeke:
can't wait for the rehearsals, some GakiKame and festival itself :shy2:
-
Hu hu!!!
made it!
i can actually write with my boss by my side xD....
gotta love tanakame bond ^^
i wonder about JunSayu.
-
@aya-chii: lol well here's a rare GakiKame fan! :lol:
@kawaii beam: lol we already did though, when they were eating udon? XD
@oddball: VERY good analysis there, REALLY. everything you said there was very nice thinking... :twothumbs
@Shiawase_Honoo: lol not a fan of turtle soup, i see :lol:
@nighell: glad you felt that, that's what i was going for! :D
@eruchan: lol I'm actually imagining Gakisan form Ribon no Kishi... because I think the prince in sleeping beauty is dressed in travel clothes, right? I have my childhood fairytale imagination~ :lol:
@Kikk4r: who doesn't like fast updates? :P
@black_inu09: ooh very brave of you to confess! I don't see too much of that around where I live XD I would say that she's probably afraid to break the friendship that you guys have, so that's holding her back from answering you. Let her know that you're okay with her being really honest with you. I'd say that's your best move for now :)
@Bamtai: lol jealousy lover... well, i am too :twisted:
@shenlog: lol yeah, you need the balance there between reina and ai, huh? :lol:
@Haruka: yay~~ commenting again! welcome back~ :D
Thank you for all the comments/thanx~~ I had a long bus ride to a concert today, and reading the comments just got rid of all my boredom :twothumbs
Im trying to plan out some more future chapters while writing right now, so please hold on! XD

-
Reina staying all calm and mature, make me feel that takahashi sensei will be the opposite one. Lol.
rehearsal with sensei watching, its like waiting in the hell for gaki. Lol. But maybe it can make the possessive sensei appear, plus from gaki character, she might try to make sensei more jealous thus, her dream might come true soon. Lol.
-
... Well THAT was unexpected~ :D /waswrong
I like what you did with that, Reina learning to control her temper XD
Great chaptahhh <3!!
-
I think Reina being mature about the whole situation is, in some way, kind of heartbreaking. Though I guess it, while definitely not forgotten, dealt with. For now. Now, on to play practice!
Also, the whole Yankii gang is getting together. Oh god, this is going to be great. :lol: :lol:
-
Ooopss~ I'm like super late on commenting. :sweatdrop:
Our Jun is still kinda uncomfortable about that time, isn't she?.. What could it BE?? :bleed eyes:
THAT Reina was really cute there. :heart: But I also feel bad because she was so sad about it. :(
Aahhh!! I really want to know how TakaGaki is doing! :mon whine: I hope Ai-chan won't go all crazy about it, but instead, deal with it more calmly like Reina or something. :roll:
I hope we'll get to know Jun's reason for the rejection in the next Chap. :D
-
@gab98: lol glad to convert you to ShigeJun-ism XD
@kawaii beam: lol don't worry, I forget my own story sometimes too :nervous
@alwaysYou: hey~ welcome back~ :lol: and that's a nice chain reaction you're drawing there :D
@Avatard000: yeah, I'm trying something new where I'm TRYING to make things unpredictable... but that's hard with all of you guys being such good fortunetellers :lol:
@rndmnwierd: wow, glad you saw it that way, "heartbreaking"... it is though, isn't it? The big badass reina is actually very sensitive when it comes to eri... :wub:
@kano-chan: maybe you'll get to know... nah, i'm gonna hold out a bit longer :twisted:
Guess what? I'm updating! :cow:
It's a short chapter but it's still an update! XD
It seems like I've raised a lot of questions recently... they'll all be answered in due time of course, but you'll have to wait for it~ :twisted:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 60
Sayumi stared into blank space as she sighed tiredly. She leaned her chin on top of her hands as she swung her legs back and forth beneath the desk. The class was filled with noises and chatter as the students were talking within their usual cliques. And as usual, the bunny was left alone… completely. This meant nobody was trying to make a conversation with her, but it also meant no bullying. Sayum had come to school that morning to find her shoes without thumbtacks, her desk without graffiti, and her chair without any gum. She assumed that the previous encounter she had with the girl that was bullying her the most gave the other students somewhat of a different view on her. Sayumi didn’t seem too much of a stuck-up rich girl anymore. At least, the bunny had hoped.
Although this was a happy occasion that should be celebrated, Sayumi didn’t care for it so much, as a bigger problem was settled in her head. No matter how much she tried, she could not get that day when she invited her friends over to her home out of her head. And the way her sweet lover had smiled at her… Just thinking about it made Sayumi shiver. What had exactly happened? What had she done wrong? Wasn’t it originally Junjun who always wanted to take one step further, one step further, until there were essentially no steps left at all? And when Sayumi was ready to climb those stairs, the panda had run away. What did this mean? Was Sayumi not good enough?
As she groaned in frustration, the bunny felt a pair of hands cover her eyes. She gasped and tried to shake away darkness but the hands wouldn’t budge.
“Guess who!” a high-pitch voice giggled. Oh yes, that voice definitely gave it away. There was only one person Sayumi knew who could get their voice to that frequency.
“… Kusumi-san…?” Sayumi mumbled.
“Bingo!” the voice laughed. The hands removed themselves, allowing Sayumi’s eyes to readjust to the fluorescent lighting and a big smiling face in front of her.
“Ohayou, Michishige-san!” Koharu greeted brightly. “Genki?”
“Ah… un…” Sayumi mumbled, nodding.
“Uso da,” the tall girl accused, pouting. “Something’s troubling you, right? You can talk to me, if you want.”
“No, I’m fine, really,” the bunny smiled with much effort. Koharu was definitely nice, as she had willingly eaten lunch with the bunny before despite the rest of the class staring at her. But Sayumi couldn’t help but feel a little bit overwhelmed by the girl’s energy sometimes. “Thanks for asking, though.”
“… Mou, ii,” Koharu said finally, pouting a little. “But I’m always here if you need me, okay?”
“Ah… okay…” Sayumi nodded. Yes, this girl was indeed very pure. She was set on doing things her own way, but she was caring, in a way. But… why was she even talking to the so-called stuck-up rich girl right now? “Ano… Kusumi-san?”
“Hm?”
“Why are you talking to me?”
“EH?! You don’t like talking with me?” The girl honestly looked terrified of the fact that someone wouldn’t want to chat with her.
“No, no, that’s not what I mean,” Sayumi said quickly. “I mean… you don’t have to pretend to be friends with me because you pity me. I’m fine being alone; you don’t have to force yourself.”
“… What are you saying, Michishige-san?!” Koharu yelled, looking determined. “I’m not pretending here; we are friends. I thought that was silently established when we ate lunch together the other day.”
“But that was—”
“No ‘but’s!” Koharu interrupted, putting her hands on her hips. “I already decided to be friends with you, so you don’t have a choice. So accept it.”
“But… what if you get bullied with me?” Sayumi asked, worriedly. “I don’t want that.”
“… You really are actually a kind person, aren’t you, Michishige-san?” Koharu asked, grinning. “Nobody would’ve thought that the ice princess would care about such a thing. But don’t worry; nobody can bully me.”
“Why not?”
“Because it’s no fun,” Koharu winked. “I don’t really get upset by those kinds of things. If the prey isn’t affected by the attacks, it’s no fun for the hunter. So nobody really bothers with me that much. I’m just Koharu. That’s it.”
Sayumi stared at the smiling girl sitting in front of her. She never noticed before, but now, Koharu seemed to be irradiating light from every direction. The way she just claimed that she didn’t care about what other people thought of her, that she was just being herself, triggered some feelings of admiration from the bunny. Koharu was free; she was free from guilt, worry, judgement, distress, and pain. And Sayumi… she knew she was being severly affected by all those things.
“… We’re really friends?” Sayumi asked quietly, feeling her heart beat faster.
“Yeah, just friends,” Koharu grinned playfully. “If you want to be best friends, you have to start brightening up more. Koharu doesn’t do emo.”
“And if you want more challenges, we’re right here too.”
Sayumi whipped her head around to see two more of her classmates standing behind her, smiling. She recognized them immediately as the two friends who were with Koharu before.
“Kikkawa-san… and Kitahara-san?” Sayumi mumbled, blinking in surprise.
“Yup,” the girl with shorter hair grinned. “Well, I was going to say that if you’re so keen on making friends easily, I can be a challenge for you. Kikka and I aren't friends with you yet. Why don’t you make one out of me?”
“What Saya is trying to say,” Yuu smiled, “is that we want to get to know you better too. How about it?”
“There, you see?” Koharu giggled, causing the bunny to look back at her again. “I’m not the only one crazy enough to be friends with you.” Then, the girl took out something from her uniform pocket and held it by the string. It was a pink cell phone accessory, with a cute pink stuffed-bunny at the end. “So what do you say? Friends?”
“T-this… is for… me?” Sayumi gasped, starting to blush with joy.
“Well, you asked for it, right?” Koharu laughed. “Oh, but you still have to pay. Kikka manages the money—”
“Kawaii!” Sayumi exclaimed, taking the cell phone strap and examining it in her hands. “Meccha kawaii, chou kawaii! Arigatou, Kusumi-san! And Kikkawa-san, and Kitahara-san, arigatou!”
“You sure get happy about such a small thing,” Sayaka laughed. “Next time, we’ll show you how to make it, if you want.”
“Will you, really?” Sayumi asked with a smile, her eyes brightening.
“Only if you stay friends with us,” Yuu grinned.
“Because this kind of craft secret is between friends only,” Koharu laughed.
“Done!” Sayumi exclaimed, practically bouncing off her chair. “Friends…”
“And when you’re friends, you get rid of all formalities,” Koharu lectured. “So call me Koharu.”
“You can call me Kikka,” Yuu said.
“Eh. Call me whatever you want,” Sayaka grinned, shrugging.
“Jaa… Koharu-chan… Kikka… Saya-chan…?”
“Kanpeki!” Koharu exclaimed. “That’s perfect! And we’re going to call you… Sayumi-chan! Is that okay?”
“Un!”
“And you know something else?” Koharu continued. “Friends tell each other secrets and problems that they have. So…”
“Tell me Junjun’s secret in studying!” Yuu said suddenly, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. “How does she get top grades in the school every single time? I don’t get it!”
“Of course, you would ask that,” Sayaka groaned, rolling her eyes. “Don’t you ever think about anything else besides studying?”
“It’s okay, she can ask,” Sayumi smiled. “But honestly… I don’t know either. I’ve actually never seen her study before so…”
“Eh~? So she really is just a natural genius, like they say,” Yuu moaned. “I’ll never be the top in this school! Mou~”
“Don’t misunderstand, Sayumi-chan,” Koharu grinned. “Yuu actually respects Junjun a lot too. Everybody does, you know?”
“Yeah…” Sayumi mumbled, as the memories of two days ago returned to her head. Sayaka cocked her head to the side, realizing something was off.
“Sayumi… is there something bothering you?” she asked.
“I asked her before too!” Koharu said. “Really, Sayumi-chan, if there’s something troubling you, you should let it out.”
“You can trust us,” Yuu smiled warmly.
“… Well…” Sayumi mumbled. She looked around at the three concerned faces around her, leaning closer as to keep the story between themselves. The bunny could tell that they really cared, and that they were trustworthy. But… how could she say outright that the problem was that she was rejected by Junjun in bed? “The thing is…”
“Yes?”
“… I think Junjun is getting sick of me,” Sayumi whispered softly, as though saying it louder would make it truer.
“Why would you think that?” Koharu asked.
“Well… the other day… she just seemed… distant. Usually, she’s the one who makes a move first but when I actually complied… she just… stepped away. And… I don’t know what I did wrong.” A vague version of the story was enough, right?
“You probably didn’t do anything wrong, Sayumi-chan,” Yuu said calmly. “Maybe she just had a tough day.”
“Yeah, Sayu, maybe she just wasn’t feeling well,” Sayaka agreed.
“No, it wasn’t like that,” the bunny sighed. “She’s just been very different lately, and I don’t know what to do. Am I supposed to give her space? Or get closer so… we don’t drift further apart…”
“You’re not going to drift further apart,” Koharu said firmly. “You know what I think? I think you should be honest. Tell her what you want and how you feel. I can tell you’re really not this kind of type, but maybe it would be nice for you to initiate something first, you know?”
Initiate first? Sayumi had never thought of that. It had always been Junjun who did something first before the bunny had even thought of making a move. It was her job to comply, not to commence. But… maybe this kind of change may help…
“I understand,” Sayumi said determinedly, nodding. “Thanks, everyone. I’m going to try being more straightforward with Junjun now…”
“That’s the attitude!” Sayaka grinned.
“Let us know how it goes, okay?” Yuu smiled.
“I will,” Sayumi answered. I’ll initiate first next time… to show her I’m ready.

Well what do you think of that? :lol:

WOW XD I'm sneaky......
My boss was talking to me about the new mobile Movistar would have and I was with the PSP reading CHAP 59... I just need a little bit more practice to write with it.... but I guess even if I practice a lot, I'm still as bad as always with the grammar XD
The Hell... to bussiness!!!!
Chap 57 o_O (yeah a lot to comment >o<)
WTH is wrong with JUNJUN...?!?!?! At first I thought DAMN maybe She just have a lot of girls for herself but never go all way with them o_O
But then a pop up apearse on my mind... It wasn't the right place and the right time... It has to be special...!!
I just can't figure it out why the creepy smile?! o_o?
Chap 58 n_n
For all the people here, I think the 80% watch at least 1 anime in their entire life. So with that! I can be sure!
We all love Japanese School's Festivals........................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a CLASSIC come on! A PLAY! wow I remembered my school days T_T talking about good times XD
The adding of new characters was simple great!
Kono-chan and Mako-chan make me remember their graduation together, nostalgic yeah...
The roles where perfectly for the GakiKame shippers XD and the ReinAi got the jealousy -3-
But I know my dear Saran~ will made us enjoy to the extreme this play and the BACKSTAGE *o* Backstage hotness xD~~
Chap 59
The topic here is "Mature Reina" something difficult to think about (no offense Reina), it's the AURA she gives us =3
But the Father visit thing is kinda moody downer o_O even for yelling about your GF's kissing her best friend O_O
That say DANGEROUS in all directions =O I wouldn't let her doing that... letting the trust aside ._. but well... it's part of the relationship..
I know every single day until the play, Reina and Ai will experiment changes in their bond... it's for a good test!
This screams Ribon no Kishi for me xD Risa been the prince and I want Ai to be kissed one, but I guess Ai can show her how to be the Mr Moonlight xD

So, Sayu has started opening up to her friends. That's a good step, I soooo wanna see Jun get jealous of Koharu.
And now Sayu has a plan, initiate!! Why do I think this won't work out the way she hopes it will?
-
Great! Another chapter already! :cow:
Sayu made some pretty great friends there. :yep: lol...I couldn't imagine how she would have told them about the bed scene. :lol: Wayy too personal. XD Things will become clear now that she's going to be straightforward. :grin:
Yay for Secret Chap! :twothumbs

SAYUMI INITIATING!!!
whoooaaa~ O_O i wonder how daring sayu can be XD

hmm.. i guess she's just a friend... yeah, just a good friend...
SAYU! GANBARRE!
-
Koharu! Always the optimist XD
Lol Kikka.. Asking for studying tips.. It's good to see Sayu's friend to show up and give some advice XD
Oh.. Gaki from ribbon no kishi.. I watch that a few years ago XD perhaps I should watch it again to refresh my memory..
-
Aww so it seems that Sayu had made some friends!!! :D it's nice to see that even with Jun's rejection she still talked to them.
I wonder if Jun planned this, to make Sayu open up to her friends anout having problems with Jun, though it does seem a bit far fetched to me but who knows what's in Jun's head really?....
-
I wish I had a friend like Koharu! She's so kind and happy all the time :wub:
But Junjun's behavior :smhid She really should be honest with Sayu.. That's the key in happy relationships :yep:
Oh you're mean SarangAi!!! I'm so curious about the next chapter now!!! What will happen?? :panic: :panic:
Well I guess that I have no choice but wait, ne? XD
-
Hm... Maybe that's the case, But I'm not ready to face her tomorrow... , thank you for answering my question =] hehe I want to know more of what happens to Sayumi and Jun jun- Looking forward! =]

Go Sayumi!!! :twothumbs
And wait for the next chap :bow:

Ahh. So good.
The four girls were standing outside of a large black gate, encircling a huge Victorian-style mansion. Even beyond the gate, there was a good 300 meter walk through the extravagant lawn until the front door of the house.
Even though you painstakingly dedicated such beautiful words to describe the house, all I could imagine was the backdrop they used in the Hello Morning Gekijou- that faded, pastel canvas where she (http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/ainoshabondama/imgs/a/1/a15d7a35.jpg (http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/ainoshabondama/imgs/a/1/a15d7a35.jpg)) stayed.
"...Oh! Everyone needs to stay here for an extended homeroom today; our iinchou has a little announcement. Niigaki-san?”

Is it okay for me to share to you the kind of summer that I have? You see the girl that I was referring to last time is a co-worker in a company that I work into as an intern. Thing is that I came to like her a lot despite of barely knowing anything about her, but I guess it was okay for a while since it's just a crush and nothing more, but then, it came to a point that I do nice things for her, like offer her a seat, hand her glass of water, open the door for her, carry things for her and I felt the strong will to spoil her a lot! buy her things that she may not need, I did all of those because I feel like it when I'm with her. I thought I would be content with the skipping of my heart beat at the sight of her, just seeing her feels as if I'm having a shot of drug of some sort, I got pretty addicted to it. I know that when the month is over we will part ways. I just couldn't stop myself on liking her more and then eventually I found myself falling so fast that it's almost impossible to stop. And the day wouldn't just past by without the thought that I would be just one of her many memories fated to fade away, Someday, she'll forget about me, and might even forget that I existed. It's sad with that thought, and now... I'm counting the days till that day comes, it's really cruel of having to meet someone like her and be parted too soon. It's a cruel joke... It's a really sad joke T.T I just wanted to share since no one here can understand me, Thank you.....

... its the same with me in the moment... i got to know someone in school...
i liked her even without knowing her at first... i too, did a lot of things for her i never knew i ever would or could...i just felt like it...
even when she didnt need it or dont want it...i just felt like i it.... just the sight of that persons... i get exited and my worries are all forgotten.. i wanned to be someone importent... and ....tried to get near her...but she always refused ...
theres no second i dont think of her... its a real tortue if class ends and we say goodbyes...
what i really hate is... i know the kontakt will break as soon we graduate... i started to love school and seeing her those 2 years...
im graduating soon so that means... i wont see her anymore and shell forget bout me...T_T...
i was scared from the beginning... i even cried some nights when i thought about it...i was soo scared of last day of school...
and its comming... in two days... my last day of seeing her comes... resently.. i cried alot...thinking about it... it realy IS cruel!...
...most of the time i space out.. thinking how it would be to be forgotten and not seeing her anymore...
im sorry for posting here... but i just needet to comment this... ><

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 61
“Okay, let’s try that scene from the top again!” Saki yelled, tapping the rolled-up script on her hand. “This time, Eri-chan, try to make the fainting more realistic. Okay? Ready… action!”
“What is that you’re doing there, old lady?” Eri asked innocently, reading straight off her script.
“I am spinning, my child,” Risako said with an evil smile. “Would you like to try? Just one touch… that’s all it takes…”
“Oh, I’d love to!” Eri exclaimed. She took a step forward and stretched her arms out. Then, she pricked her finger with the imaginary spindle and gasped in shock. She then proceeded to fall to the ground awkwardly and faint. A couple seconds later, she opened her eyes and looked at Saki. “How was that?”
“Eh. Better,” the director shrugged. “But it still seems a bit too fake. You should actually fall.”
“But it hurts if I really collapse,” Eri complained. “Why is this so hard?”
The turtle sat up and crossed her arms, dropping her script on the floor. The entire class was using their time after school wisely by preparing for the festival. The room was basically split into two workshops, with the girls rehearsing the play in the front while the boys were in the back laying out the stage settings. The girls that weren’t part of either group was seated in the middle, sewing and readjusting some of the costumes that Saki had brought from the theatre club. Risa was sitting on top of a desk, mumbling her lines to herself as were the three fairies. Risako was seated at a chair with a dark cloak covering half of her face. Saki had been directing a couple of the scenes while busily taking margin notes in her own script. Makoto and Asami were fooling around with their lines as they were memorizing together.
“Let’s move on to the next scene for today,” Saki sighed. “Let’s try some of the harder scenes. Like… the scene where the princess wakes up!”
“Ah… um… yeah, okay,” Eri hesitated, laughing shakily. We don’t need to actually kiss right now, do we? I mean, it’s just rehearsel…
Please tell me we don’t have to kiss right now, Risa thought to herself as she jumped off the desk. It’ll be so awkward…
“Oay, Eri-chan, you lie down here,” Saki ordered, as she and some other girls helped set up a couple of chairs in a row. “And Iinchou, we’ll start with your line.”
The turtle did as she was told and closed her eyes, to make believe she was asleep. Risa cleared her throat and started to read off her script with the best acting skills she could manage.
“Here is the beautiful princess I’ve heard of,” the bean read, making her voice a little deeper, “still deep in slumber.” Risa walked over and knelt beside Eri’s body and stared at her friend’s face. “But how do I wake her…?”
“Follow the script, Iinchou,” Saki scolded, tapping her fingers on her own script.
“Uh… I am,” Risa said flatly, raising an eyebrow. “I’m reading right off of it, actually.”
“I don’t mean your lines, I mean your actions,” Saki explained. “Read the italics.”
The bean quickly skimmed through the italics in her script that indicatd specific action that should be taken. The truth was that Risa already knew what she was supposed to do but she just found it too awkward at the moent to proceed. Everybody was going to stare at her and her best friend pretend to be lovers. How much weirder can it get?
“Okay, okay, fine…” Risa muttered. She raised her hand and stroked Eri’s soft cheek as she fell back into character. “Any spell… can be broken with a true love’s kiss… My princess…” She leaned in closer and closer to the turtle and stopped a couple inches away.
“Keep going,” Saki ordered.
“D-do I have to?” Risa mumbled. At this point, Eri’s eyes were open as well. From the look on her face, she was obviously feeling very awkward by the closeness between them too.
“Yes, this scene as to be perfect!” Saki insisted. “So you have to practice! Just one peck, right by the corner of her lips.”
“Uh…”
“Nakki’s not changing her mind, Risa-chan,” Eri muttered, rolling her eyes. “Let’s just get this over with.”
“Easy for you to say,” Risa grumbled back. “You have your eyes closed so you don’t need to see anything. On the other hand, I have to—”
“Sometime today, Iinchou!” Saki yelled, tapping her rolled-up script on her hand again.
“This is staying a secret to Sensei,” Risa whispered quickly.
“And Reina,” Eri added in, shutting her eyes tightly.
Risa took a deep breath as she started to lean in closer to her friend’s face again. She tried to imagine that it was her lover’s face instead, that it was Ai’s nose that was touching her own. She tilted her head a little to the side, the kiss only seconds away.
“Gaki-san, I need your help with something in the faculty room!” a familiar voice yelled, the classroom door bursting open with it. Risa immediately sat up as did Eri. The entire class turned to the direction of the voice in surprise, as they had all be absorbed by the almost-kissing scene in front of them.
“S-sensei!” Risa stuttered.
“Oh, I see you were practicing for the festival,” Ai said sweetly. “But I need to borrow our class representtaive for a while…”
“Mou, Sensei!” Saki complained. “You can’t take Iinchou; she’s the prince!”
“I’m sorry, Nakajima,” the teacher chuckled. “Duty calls. There’s something Gaki-san needs to take care of with me.”
“Is it me, or does Sensei seem a bit creepy right now?” Eri whispered to her friend.
“You think?” Risa muttered back through her teeth. She slowly got to her feet and walked over to her teacher. “Um… I’ll be back, Nakki, just… just rehearsing something else in the meantime.”
“Oh, alright,” Saki pouted. “Then… we’ll have the fairies practice.”
“Finally, something to do!” Chinami groaned, standing up.
“Um, Risa-chan!” Eri called before her friend walked out of the room with the teacher. “Don’t wait up for me after school… I’m going over to Reina’s.”
“No problem,” Risa smiled, waving. “Ja nee!”
With that, the bean crossed the threshold and closed the door behind her. When she turned back, her teacher was way ahead of her, walking at a very fast pace. Risa jogged in order to catch up to her, and proceeded to speed-walk.
“S-sensei, slow down!” Risa said. “What do you need my help for?”
“I don’t need your help with anything,” Ai said flatly, not even bothering to look at the bean. “I said we needed to take care of something, didn’t I?”
“Um… Doesn’t that mean the same thing…?” Risa asked carefully.
“No, it doesn’t.”
Giving up, the bean started to just walk silently. Something about Ai seemed a little different now, almost scary. Risa decided not to ask her meddlesome questions anymore. After a couple more fast steps, the student finally realized something was off.
“Um… Sensei? This isn’t the way to the faculty room…”
“I know.”
“Then… why are we going this way?”
Then, Ai came to a sudden halt. She grabbed Risa’s wrist and pulled towards one side of the wall, near the door marked “storage closet”. She grabbed the door handle and checked to see if it was open. Satified with the knob turning all the way, Ai looked straight into Risa’s eyes.
“Because we’re not going to the faculty room,” she said.
Ai pushed the door open and roughly pulled her girlfriend into the dark, enclosed space. Risa gasped as she felt her back hitting the hard concrete wall, causing pain to travel down her spine. Before she could recover from the shock, she felt her mouth being intruded upon by a familiar tongue, swirling around. Ai kissed fiercely as she grabbed her girlfriend’s wrists and held it against the wall, immobilizing the girl. Risa whimpered as she struggled in the teacher’s grasp to no avail. She felt her lover’s knee pressing up against her intimate spot, causing her to yelp into the kiss. Moving around and putting up a fight made it even worse, so Risa chose to stay still and instead, turned her head away to breathe in the much needed air.
“S-sensei—”
Before the student could even get a phrase in, Ai roughly took the girl’s face in between her hands and turned it forward to meet her lips again. Risa moaned as she felt her body being drained of energy and the will to resist. And why resist? This was what she had wanted, right? For some reason, her teacher had finally snapped and was really going at it. And Risa was going to comply as long as possible.
So the young girl wrapped her arms around her lover and eagerly kissed her back, fully engaging in the loving action. Risa found it hard to take control, but she didn’t mind that her teacher was in charge for now. But it was still difficult to move her lips the way she wanted to, considering the fact that Ai was fully pressing her entire body against the bean, including the mouth. The older woman’s movements were quick and desperate, as though she had craved for Risa’s lips for centuries. Just when Risa wished that this moment would never end, Ai broke the kiss and breathed heavily. But her face was still close enough in the darkness to touch Risa’s forehead.
“Is it gone?” the teacher asked quietly.
“What is…?” Risa mumbled, also trying to catch her breath.
“That kiss… from before…” Ai murmured back. She kissed Risa’s lips lovingly one more time. “Is it gone?”
“… Kiss from before?”
Then it hit her. Her teacher was under the misconception that Risa and Eri had actually liplocked! The bean thought back to the play rehearsal, when she and the turtle had almost kissed. Assuming that Takahashi-sensei was watching from the classroom door, the angle would be that she would be seeing the back of Risa’s head… seemingly kissing Eri. So this was why Sensei was acting this way! The misunderstanding had caused her to feel… jealous. Risa burst out laughing as everything became clear to her. Ai had felt jealous; she had felt uneasy about the fact that the bean was kissing another girl, so she had taken her aside to replace that touch with her own mark. Somehow, this made Risa feel very happy.
“What’s so funny?” Ai asked. Although the student could not see her lover’s face in the darkness, she could imagine the teacher’s eyebrows rising up in confusion.
“Sensei,” Risa giggled, “Eri and I didn’t kiss.”
“… What do you mean?”
“I mean, we did not kiss.”
“… But I saw you two—”
“Well, we were about to,” Risa explained, “but not really. I mean, I was supposed to only kiss her near her lips, by the corner. But you interrupted before we actually did kiss.”
“… So… there was no kiss,” Ai confirmed slowly, “between you… and Kamei…”
“Nope,” Risa chuckled, kissing her lover on the lips one more time. “Just between you and me.”
“… Well, that really puts me at ease,” Ai chuckled softly, stroking Risa’s hair. “Sorry I dragged you in here… How’s your back?”
“It’s fine, it doesn’t hurt,” Risa shrugged, smiling. “But… you know… Eri and I will be kissing… on stage.”
“… Now I remember why I was angry in the first place,” Ai said coldly.
“Don’t worry, it’s not really liplocking, it’s practically on her cheek,” Risa assured quickly. “And… you know I only like your kisses.”
“Mm… you better,” Ai murmured, letting her tongue run across Risa’s lips gently once more before kissing her. “Okay, fine. I’ll let this go. I shall conduct myself with perfect class during the play… but I can’t promise I won’t throw a tantrum after.”
“If cornering me in a closet and making out with me is throwing a tantrum, then I don’t think I mind it so much,” Risa grinned.
“Does that mean I have to throw a bigger tantrum to scare you?” Ai joked.
“Try me,” Risa dared. She kissed Ai once more with a different kind of passion, before the teacher leaned back.
“… Okay, tantrum over,” Ai sighed, realizing she had taken it a step too far. “You should get back to the classroom… In fact, all the students should leave for home now.”
“Well, if you’re done throwing a tantrum,” Risa murmured, “it’s my turn now.”
Risa swiftly twirled around, pushing her lover against the wall. She immediately went for Ai’s lips, moving her tongue around it before plunging in. Ai let out a soft moan as she tried to push Risa away gently, but the younger girl wouldn’t have it. She pressed her hands firmly against her girlfriend’s shoulders and continued on with her action, taking charge of the kiss. But then, Ai took her face in between her hands again and pushed her away.
“Don’t forget our promise, Gaki-san,” Ai whispered, breathing hotly on Risa’s face. “You said you wouldn’t try anything again.”
“If I wanted to try something, I would’ve already gone further than kissing,” Risa muttered.
“Gaki-san…” Ai started, in an annoyed tone.
“I know, I know,” Risa sighed. “Don’t worry, I wasn’t going to do anything more. I just wanted to kiss.”
“Gaki-san, you should really go back—”
“I promise I won’t try anything,” Risa begged, her voice getting desperate. “I just… I just want to be with you a little longer. So… please?”
Ai stayed silent. It was still dark enough so that Risa couldn’t see her girlfriend’s facial expression so well, but she could make out her eyes in the blackness. That meant that Ai could see her eyes too, and the sincerity that it carried. The young girl felt the hands on her face grip a little tighter. Just when Risa thought that Ai was going to reject her again, she was pulled into meet the familiar lips that she longed for. Letting out a sigh of satisfaction, Risa kissed back lovingly in response to her lover’s deed.
“Just a little longer,” Ai murmured softly.
“Just a little longer,” Risa agreed, smiling.

How cute! :wub: Ai-chan tried to replace the rehearsal kiss with her own :inlove:(even though GakiKame didn't kiss). Poor Ai-chan for getting jealous. I would like to see Risa get jealous over Ai-chan too. These two are so ADORABLE! :mon lovelaff:

Jealous! Ai :twisted: Heheheh love it. That was pretty hot too :on_hot: And AT SCHOOL! In a closet :kekeke:
I wonder if this will happen often since they'll probably rehearse a lot? :hehehe:
Yaaaah tanakame :cow: Shaking things up? Should I be worried :panic:
-
WHOOOOO~~~

ahhh want to know :panic:
-
wahahahahahahaha :rofl: :rofl:
great job, SarangAi :thumbsup
Wait for the TanaKame chap :welcome
-
I rewatched Ribbon no Kishi, and I totally agree! Gaki as Noveau is sooo dreamy..
Haha.. Jealous Ai is funny... I love how the misunderstanding about the practice kiss leads to the temper tantrum.. Ai-sensei should get jealous more, and Gaki-san might get what she wants.. Lol..
-
Oh dear, poor Gaki getting 'attacked' by jealous Ai, hmm now wonder Gaki is thinking about getting Ai all jealous again :wub:
Seems as though Ai still manages to hold back from giving Gaki what she really wants, perhaps Gaki should hold back a bit from trying to get Ai too jealous.....
-
Oh~ you must write more! hehe thank you it was wonderful =]
-
I knew that Aichan will be jealous :lol:
is it time now for some TanaKame + Reina's dad :?
-
YES I MISSED THIS!!!! :cow: :cow: :cow: Now that that's been said back to business :lol:
I really wonder what kind of tantrum Ai-chan will throw after the play :? Could it be that we don't have to wait until Risa's graduation? :w00t: Yeah, I know I'm speculating here but hey, a girl can always hope :D But knowing you I guess I have to suffer way more before Ai-chan is ready to throw her resolution in garbage XD Not that I mind that, good things are worth of the wait :P
Hmmm.. Are we finally able to meet Reina's father? Boy that will be interesting :panic:
Thank you for quick updates, they're lifesavers! :twothumbs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 62
Tanaka Shachou will be visiting you tomorrow. Please be ready to welcome him by 3p.m.
Tanaka Shachou… visiting… tomorrow… welcome…
Tanaka… tomorrow… 3p.m…
Tanaka… Koichi…
Tanaka…
Tanaka Reina…
Reina…
“REINA!”
“Ee?”
Reina lifted her head and blinked continuously until her eyes refocused on her girlfriend standing beside her. Eri was looking down at her with a concerned expression, holding the piece of paper that the kitten had handed to her just a couple seconds ago.
The two girls were in Reina’s bedroom, spending some time together after a long week of school. Reina was seated at her desk, spacing out after she had given her girlfriend the fax she had received that afternoon. It was a notice, and a reminder, from Kaneda Tetsuya, Tanaka Corporation President’s right-hand man. After days of waiting and sleeping in fear and nervousness, Reina had reached the night before the arrival of her father in Tokyo. In less than 12 hours, her father would be marching into her home and requesting, or demanding, something and she would have to give in to his wishes, as she had always done after her mother had passed away. Not knowing what exactly his reason for coming to visit his daughter was even more frightening than knowing.
And that fear had really played on Reina’s mind today, as she had spaced out more than a couple times throughout Eri’s stay. Even while the turtle was trying to make conversation during dinner, Reina had to be “woken up” multiple times from her trance. Naturally, Eri’s worry grew by the minute, and she had tried to figure out a way to help her girlfriend relax.
“Reina,” the turtle sighed, kneeling in front of the ex-yankii and resting her arms on the kitten’s knees, “I know you’re worried, alright? But like I’ve assured you, I’m going to be right there with you. I’ll stay by your side to protect you.”
“I know,” Reina answered, nodding. “I know I can trust you.” Although she seemed to agree with her lover, the muscles on her face were visibly tightened by the stress. Eri sighed as she continued to brainstorm for ways to distract Reina.
“… Let’s go watch some TV,” she suggested, standing up and taking Reina’s hand. “Maybe we can have a movie night.”
“No, I… I’m not really in the mood for that,” Reina mumbled, turning her head away.
“… Do you want to go out then?” Eri tried again. “We can go to a purikura place…”
“Gomen, I just want to stay home,” the kitten said quietly again. Her mind was still obviously on her father’s visit that would happen the next day. Eri thought of giving up for a while, but she couldn’t bear to watch Reina stress over this for the entire night. It was hardly healthy.
“Then help me practice my lines for the play!” Eri said in a slightly more demanding tone. “I need someone to practice with, so run lines with me.”
“Eri, I’m really—”
“For me,” Eri said quickly, gazing at Reina with the most sincere eyes she could manage. “I need to practice so I need a partner. So do it… for me.”
“… Okay,” Reina sighed, smiling little as Eri returned the favor with a huge grin.
The turtle skittered over to her backpack lying by the door and unearthed her script from a stack of papers. She flipped to one of the pages and handed it to her girlfriend.
“Read the Prince’s lines,” Eri said, “and see if I have all my lines down.”
“Alright,” the kitten nodded. “Let’s see… ‘When will I get to see you again? Please, allow me to meet you once more’.”
“‘I’m sorry, I’m not allowed to talk to strangers’,” Eri said, shifting into character.
“‘But we’ve already met before. You said it yourself. Once upon a dream’.”
“‘… I really should go’.”
“Please, allow me to visit you again, tomorrow, here’.” Visit… tomorrow… 3p.m.
“‘Well then… right here, tomorrow’.”
Visit… tomorrow… welcome… 3p.m…
“Reina!”
“Huh?”
The petit girl blinked as she noticed her girlfriend’s face in front of her. Eri’s expression wasn’t that of anger, nor sadness. It was pain. She hated to see Reina like this, her entire mind falling into a dimension of its own, all because of her father visiting after many years. Was there absolutely no way to keep her right here, in reality? Well… there was really only one plan left in Eri’s head.
“Eri, I’m really sorry,” Reina said quickly, sighing. “I… I guess I’m just—”
Before she could finish her sentence, her mouth got blocked with a familiar pair of lips, moving around and begging for entrance. Reina was surprised but her eyes closed as she let herself enjoy the moment. Part of the tense knots in her body seemed to relax as she could feel her lover’s warmth close to her body, wrapping around her, keeping her safe.
“I thought the kiss scene comes after the princess falls asleep,” Reina mumbled against Eri’s lips.
“I forgot my lines so I improvised,” Eri murmured back, allowing Reina to smile a little.
“Eri… you know, I’m really—”
“Just kiss me.”
Eri then attacked again as she started to lovingly kiss her girlfriend, putting in all the passion she could manage to distract Reina from her stress. It seemed to work for a while, as the kitten wrapped her arms tightly around her lover’s neck and pressed her body closer to make out fiercely. Eri took this chance to pull her girlfriend closer to the bed until she could fall back on to the soft mattress. Then, she turned until Reina was under her; she wanted to be in charge, to make sure the girl felt safe. They continued their kiss without the slightest intermission, wanting to feel closer to each other even more.
“Eri…” Reina said suddenly, breaking the kiss. “I… the truth is… I’m really scared.” She bit down on her lips as she stared up at Eri, who looked back with a comforting expression. The turtle stroked Reina’s forehead, followed by her long straight hair.
“I know you are,” Eri whispered back, feeling the slight trembling of the kitten’s body. “But no matter what happens, I’m never going to leave you. I’m always going to be there with you, okay? You’ll be safe, with me.”
“What if… what if he’s coming to blame me again…?” Reina whispered, her voice cracking. Drops of tear started to form by her eyes. “What if he… blames… for Mama…? Dying…? I don’t, I don’t want to fight with him, Eri, I can’t, I don’t—”
“Reina, Reina, calm down,” Eri assured, holding on to her lover’s face, forcing her to make eye contact. “I won’t let him hurt you like that, alright? I’ll protect you, I promise. I won’t let anything happen. You’re not going to fight with him, okay? Trust me.”
Reina stared with wide eyes for a while before she cleared her throat quietly. She then started to breathe in and out, slowly, and nodded. Eri smiled and carefully wiped away the teardrops that had formed.
“I love you, Reina,” Eri murmured quietly. “I love you more than anything in the world.”
“… I already knew that,” Reina replied back, grinning her toothy grin.
Eri chuckled as she gently kissed the lovely girl again. This time, Reina’s movements seemed a lot smoother due to her being relaxed more. Eri’s comforting words had definitely had a good effect in putting the kitten’s mind off future issues that may arise. Their hands started to wander around each other’s body as their kiss got fiercer. Soon, Eri found one of her own hands shoved up Reina’s shirt, feeling around the smooth skin gently, but just enough to make the kitten moan from the sensation. Pleasurable sighs could be heard from both parties during the kiss as they hungrily made out with each other. Eri could feel her own body getting hotter; her heart was pounding more than ever as a strong sensation was felt near her inner thigh area.
Oh god, please, no, the turtle thought to herself. Although it almost seemed natural for her to be turned on from being so close to her lover like this, she didn’t want to give herself false hope. Just like they had done for the past couple nights, they would probably end up stripping until their undergarments were the only articles of clothing on them, and just sleeping like that. Eri could wrap her arms around the kitten protectively, as though to keep her from nightmares. Just like any other night…
Suddenly, Eri felt herself being flipped over as the weight of her girlfriend pressed down near her abdomen. She had obviously let her guard down too much to have her leadership taken away that quickly. But instead of more kissing, Eri found herself being stared at by the lovely eyes that she dreamt of. Reina’s breath felt hot by her lips as she gazed with a smoldering look.
“Eri…” she whispered, “will you sleep with me tonight?”
“Of course,” the turtle answered. “I’ve done so for the past few days—”
“No,” Reina interrupted, biting down on her bottom lip. “I mean… will you make me yours?”
Eri’s eyes widened as she stared at her lover’s sincere expression. Was Reina seriously asking for this? So tonight wasn’t just like any other night; they would actually get further than just literally sleeping together? Had this girl even thought this over? This was so sudden though… Eri could feel her pulse getting faster as she got more nervous. She could tell Reina was feeling the same way, as her cheeks flushed dark red. But the look in her eyes… she really wanted this.
“I’ll take a shower first,” the kitten said quietly.
Reina slipped off the bed and glided into the bathroom. Behind the closed door, Eri could hear some rustling before the sound of the faucet turning came. The turtle quickly sat up and put her hand over her chest, trying to calm herself. Was this really it? Was this really the way it was going to happen? She had waited so long for this day… but now that this day was here, Eri somehow felt uneasy with doubts weighing on her mind. Had she and her lover both thought this through completely? How would things change by this? How did you exactly do this anyway? Do you just… do it?
But Reina had just given her permission right? So they really would be doing it tonight… For the first time, Eri really started to think about this, envision this. They would both be complete, together, and shower love and kisses onto each other. Reina’s body… that smooth back and soft skin that she had only felt on rare occasions… Eri would finally get to see it as well. Her complete, white, smooth body…
Before her thoughts could wander off further, Eri quickly slapped herself across the face and let out a small whimper of pain. And it was a good timing as well, since Reina walked out of the bathroom, her bare body clad in a large white towel. Bits of her skin were still wet, as well as her hair. The smoldering look in her eyes remained unchanged as she slowly stepped closer to the bed, where the turtle was sitting. Eri’s eyes widened at the glorious sight, taking in every little detail about her lover. It was difficult to prevent her mind from thinking about what was under that towel.
“Your turn,” Reina said softly, pulling up the towel a bit more over her chest.
“I… uh… you…” Eri quickly shook her head as she came back down to earth, peeling her eyes off of Reina’s slight cleavage that was showing with much difficulty. “Reina… are you sure about this? You… you really thought this over?”
“I’ve thought this over so many times, Eri,” the kitten smiled, gently stroking her girlfriend’s pink cheek. “We’ve been through so many ridiculous issues yet we’re still here, together. That’s got to mean something. And… I know that I would only feel safe if it’s with you. Just Eri.”
The turtle felt her heart warming up from her lover’s words. Just her. There was only Eri for Reina, and only Reina for Eri as well. There were no other alternatives and no other way to put it. Even just at this stage, they had passed the point of no return. It was tonight. And neither of them doubted this. Eri quickly hugged her girlfriend and whispered her proclamation of love into her ear.
“I know,” the kitten mumbled. She was obviously blushing. “Now go… shower…”
“I won’t be long,” Eri whispered back with a soft chuckle.
The girl quickly pranced into the bathroom and started to strip immediately. When she got into the shower booth, she turned the faucet to let the hot water rain down on her body. All the previous tension and worries were washed away. The only thing that filled Eri’s mind was Reina, her love, her life. And the event that was to happen pretty soon…
Eri rushed the shower as she quickly lathered the soap on her body, but was still careful in making sure she was clean. After another run-down of the hot water, Eri climbed out of the booth and quickly dried herself. She let her wet hair curl down as she took a big white towel and wrapped it around herself, just like Reina had done so.
When she walked back into the bedroom, the first thing that she saw was her beautiful girlfriend, turning off the lights. In the dark shadows of the night, Eri could make out the petit girl gliding over to the curtains to close them against the moonlight, and then towards the small lamp by the bedside table. The dim light gave the kitten’s white, plain room a rather warm feeling, almost cozy.
Eri smiled as she walked over to her lover, who seemed to be shying away already. Her cheeks were dyed soft pink as the little droplets of water from her wet hair still patterned parts of her collar bone area. She gasped softly when Eri gently touched her hands, and took a hold of them.
“Don’t be scared,” Eri murmured. “I’m here.”
“I’m not scared,” Reina denied, shrugging with a small smile. “Just… nervous?”
“Me too,” the turtle chuckled. “But we’ll be fine. If we stay linked together like this… we’ll be safe.
Eri entangled her fingers around Reina’s and brought her lover’s hand up to her lips to give it a gentle kiss. The kitten smiled at this, and nodded. Taking that as an approval, Eri leaned in slowly to take Reina’s soft lips. The kiss was warm and loving, just like they wanted. But both lovers knew that this was only the start.

You are the best, SarangAi
We all (I think) wait this moment for long
and you almost done it :twisted:
But...I also worry about the kitty :cry:
-
Woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh...
finally I can write something about you fanfic SarangAi...
I can't describe about how much I love this fanfic.. you make me love Takagaki and Tanakame even though my favorite is always Sayumi.. :lol: and I'm only registered so I can write this comment to you..
I love every character.. and for the pairing, I love Takagaki the most.. I can imagine how hot their relationship is, since one of them is an adult when the other is still teenager XD, and the adult one have lust feeling to the teenager, it's kinda hot.. and story with hate-and-then-love always got me.. now I love Takagaki even more..
and for Tanakame, I love how you describe about reina's jealousy towards everybody who want to get closer to Eri, she's really is a yankee when it comes to protect her lover..
Last is ShigeJun.. what's with this couple?? since I don't even imagine about them and yet I saw them as a couple??! and it's still good very good???!!!! XD FYI, I do love tanahisge before, but this fanfic caught my eyes, and lately my heart too. :P
Good job and always try your best okay?! Take care of your health too, and nice to meet you :)
-
Eri was so sweet, managing to get Reina's mind off the impending arrival of her father, as no-one really knows how he will react to his daughter.... I can't help but think though that Reina's mind still dwells on the arrival of her father despite all of Eri's best effrorts.
Perhpas that's what Reina's urge to sleep with Eri comes from, perhpas she realizes that she may be taken away or have to leave Eri and so sleeps with her before she looses her, perhpas a theory of why Reina's attitude towrds it changes so quickly.....

:cow: :cow: :cow:
FINALLY!!! I FINALLY GOT HERE
:cow: :cow: :cow:
CHEE~ -doesn't know many of the icons/emoticons/whatever people call them here-
I started reading this this morning and I FINALLY got through all 55 pages. DAYYYYYUM YOU WRITE A LOT -your readers too; HO-ly sh*t-
I'm not one for super long reviews or really helpful, insightful tips on how to improve yourself as a writer or improve this story as a whole (I'm more of a Sayumi-"LISTEN-TO-MY-OPINION-ITS-GREATER-THEN-YOURS" type of commenter)
Things I want to say:
1. I LOVE YOUR AIKA -Aika wota- SHE'S SO INSANE AND ADORABLE I LOVE IT :bow:
2. Sayu is amazing and adorable and all things pink and fluffical~ :wub: -doesn't like real Sayu so much but loves your Sayu- I was honestly kind of worried that Sayu would forget about Kohapinku, Saayasama and Kikka after Junbanana's bet... xD I'm glad she didn't! This might help me respect her as a person in real life :w00t: ... yeah... no not really :sweatdrop:
3. JUNBANANA THAT STUNT YOU PULLED PISSED KIRI OFF :angry: :angry: :angry: Don't do that to SarangAiSayu!!
4. I answered on your poll that JunSayu is not one of my favorite pairings, but it's cute towards page... idk, right after Sayu entered? I CHANGED MY MIND. They're so cute >3< It's kind of hard for me to imagine this kind of Junjun, though. My mind is showing me a YossyJun type of image :lol:
5. You, my good writer, are a cruel, cruel person. Reading the each of these chapters at once like I did is one thing, but to throw in a cliffie at the end of nearly every chapter is just terrible xD Your poor I've-read-since-the-first-post readers!! :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic:
-
I long did not write anything here...
I don't remember anyone writing here the assumption of the arrival of Reina's father... He decided to marry her to rich son of a companion... or somebody else?
However, I think everything will be completely different. As always))
Whatever it was looking forward to update. :twothumbs
-
Why must you torture me so :bleed eyes:
And I just gotta say to KirikomoriHime, 55 pages in one day :shocked I give you serious props haha. :thumbup
-
I read it a few days ago, but only got the time to comment now...
OMG TanaKame! :D
So, Reina finally make her move... one day before her father come to visit :lol:
and the end of the chapter is such a cliffhanger...
-
No new chapter? 10 hours to go before another long week begin.
Take care, SarangAi and everyone, have a nice week ahead ^^
-
Patiently waiting for your next chapter~so I thought I should step in and do a little comment so I can bump this thread up. :twothumbs
And I just gotta say to KirikomoriHime, 55 pages in one day :shocked I give you serious props haha. :thumbup
It's actually not that hard if you have nothing to do for one day and just sit in front of your computer to read. I've actually done it a couple of times with a few fanfics that was already getting quite long. It's not hard if you only read the chapters and not all the comments. XD After all, each chapter is at most one page (trust me, I've actually compared once when I was bored). So, a person is probably reading at most 62-65 pages at once. That's not really hard since most people can read about 100 pages a day, book-wise. :lol:
-
^Haha I suppose you are right. But staring at a computer screen hurts my eyes than when I read a book, so I usually have to take breaks :nervous
-
err! i cant wait any longer for the next chapterr! :cathappy:
-
@Shiawase_Honoo: lol yeah... almost... :nervous
@all6th: yay! thanx for registering to comment, it means a lot to me~ and i'm glad you like the fic! :D WELCOME! :welcome :jphip:
@oddball: hm... i always do love it when you make predictions/theories. well, as always, i'm not telling you anything MWA HA HA :twisted:
@Kirikomorihime: LOL YossyJun is what i imagine too, kinda :lol: and i'm known for my EBILNESS/CRUELTY :twisted: thanks for commenting! that was enjoyable to read :D :D
@nighell: hehehe.... i do try to create something different.... thanx for the comment! XD
@astro18: i thought you would be used to my sadistic chara by now :P and you're right, 55 pages... IMPRESSIVE XD
@eruchan: lol it's always a cliffhanger, you know me :twisted:

Just stopping by to check for updates. It's all right that you're busy and haven't been able to update. :) I'm a rather patient person when it comes to fanfictions, especially since I also have things to deal with myself. Take care and I'm excited for the next update~

Chapter 63
“Is it time yet?” Junjun asked quietly, stretching her neck to look over Aika’s shoulder.
“Just a little bit left,” Aika mumbled, concentrating on the timer in her cell phone.
“… Now is it time yet?” Linlin slowly questioned, looking over Aika’s other shoulder to get a glimpse of the cell phone.
“Just a little… more…” Aika said, narrowing her eyes.
“… Now?” the pandas asked together.
“Oh, will you two rest easy?!” Aika yelled, looking away from her phone to glare at her two fellow yankiis on either side of her. “I said just a bit—” The girl stopped short of her words and grinned widely as her cell phone resonated a beeping sound. “It’s time.”
“YATTA!”
The three girls turned around together to face their breakfast on the counter. Wasting no time, they ripped off the paper opening of the cup ramen in unison and grabbed their chopsticks. After rubbing the two wooden pieces together to shave off the splinters, the three girls clapped their hands together.
“Itadakimasu!”
All talking ended as the sound of slurping and satisfied sighs from the warm noodles hitting their stomachs took over their little cornered area in the convenience store. Some people walking on the streets outside spotted the three yankii girls through the glass in the store, and either scowled or just cocked their heads. The gang didn’t really care, and couldn’t blame the civilians either; after all, they all looked like pieces of rags. None of them really bothered to dress up that much on Sunday mornings when they didn’t even have school. A simple t-shirt and sweatpants did fine along with a messy ponytail to pull back their ratty bed-heads (except for Aika, whose hair was so short that she had to manage with bobby pins clipped in various angles). Match that get-up together with eating cup ramen at a convenience store counter where there weren’t even any chairs, and you got multiple accusations of being a hobo or a runaway teenager.
But the three delinquents didn’t eat cup ramen because they didn’t have the money to eat anything else. Sure, they were tight on budget most of the time, but it was just pure enjoyment and a tradition to them to eat ramen together every Sunday morning. It was sort of a gang-bonding time. Ocassionally, the other girls joined them as well but they were usually busy hanging out with each other… that is, their girlfriends.
“Come to think of it,” Junjun spoke with a half-full mouth, “Chisato isn’t here today. Hasn’t she joined us quite often lately in the ramen fest?”
“I got a text from Airi saying that Chissa and Mai got back together,” Linlin coughed out, choking a bit on a noodle. “Apparantly, Miya overheard them talking and everything’s fine.”
“Big surprise there,” Aika said sarcastically, gently tapping her girlfriend’s back repeatedly to help her regain her breath. “Chissa and Maimai always fight, but they always reconcile anyway.”
“Well, I guess Chisato is rejoining the little couple ranks with the rest of them,” Junjun grinned. “I can already hear Captain lecturing them again about the importance of committed relationships.”
“Yeah, tell her to properly reign in her own girlfriend first,” Aika grunted, swishing her chopsticks in the ramen. “Somebody told me they saw Maimi at the club again, attracting quite a number of girls and boys alike.”
“Oh, they’ll be fine,” Linlin shrugged, taking a big drink straight from her ramen bowl. “Maimi is always like that but she and Captain never broke up before.”
“Yeah, but there was that time when Captain locked Maimi out of their apartment before, remember?” Aika said, fully engaging herself in the gossip now. “That went on for a couple days. She didn’t pick up the phone or answer emails or anything. Maimi begged on her knees.”
“But Saki eventually took her back in again,” Junjun chuckled. “I guess she couldn’t bear to stay away from Maimi too long either. A shame, I thought, it was kind of fun watching Maimi lose her cool like that… especially since she really deserved it that time.”
“What did she do again?” Linlin asked, raising an eyebrow. “Was it because of that time she met that other girl at a party and—”
“Shh! Linlin!” Aika hushed, putting a finger to her lips. “That’s taboo in the gang now, remember?”
“Oh… right…” the younger panda nodded slowly.
“Well, enough about that,” Junjun laughed, enjoying this moment with her two best girls. “Finish your ramen. We’re heading back to my place to freshen up after this and then heading over to Usa-chan’s.”
“Eh? We’re not going to Tanaka-senpai’s?” Aika inquired.
“Why would we go to Reina’s?”
“Well… we just thought… you know…” Linlin said slowly. “She did text you about her father coming to Tokyo today… right?”
“Yeah.”
“Shouldn’t we be there… you know, to support her?” Aika asked worriedly.
“Actually, I don’t think that’s such a good idea,” Junjun sighed. “Look, we’re still yankiis, you know. Just nothing but stupid teenagers ruining their lives… at least the way Reina’s dad looks at us. We’re not really helping out in any way by being there to greet the president.”
“I guess you’re right…” Linlin mumbled. “But Tanaka-senpai—”
“—will be fine,” Junjun finished quickly. “She has someone else to support her anyway. In fact, Kame-chan is probably at her place right now.”
“How do you know?” Aika asked.
“Sharp intuition,” Junjun grinned, tapping her forehead, “and logic. I called Kame-chan’s house last night a couple times and she never picked up. So the question of the day is… where has our turtle been all night?”
“… No wonder Jun-senpai is the smartest student in the school,” Linlin smiled. “That’s pretty clever.”
“So, are you relieved now, Aika?” the older panda winked.
“… Yeah, I guess so,” the short-haired girl sighed.
“Okay then,” Junjun grinned. She gulped down the rest of her ramen soup and tossed the bowl in the trash. “Onwards to my place!”
** ** **
The door creaked open as a petit, cat-like girl wearing nothing but a camisole and her pink underwear slipped into the bedroom. She silently glided over to the large window and opened the thick curtains, leaving only the thin, lacey layer to let the sunlight seep through ever so slightly. The girl turned around to face her bed, in which a familiar figure was tangled up in the blankets. The sleeping girl stirred a little and rolled onto her back—an action that would’ve revealed her entire bare body if it wasn’t for the thin white sheet wrapped around her. She licked her lips a little before uttering her lover’s name, allowing the girl by the window to blush with joy.
Smiling, the petit girl slowly walked over to the bed and sat on the edge of the mattress, reaching out to gently tuck her lover’s hair behind her ears. She remembered how short it was when they had first met—short enough to make her believe she was a boy. But now, the silky light brown hair was growing beyond the girl’s shoulders, increasing her feminine charms. She was becoming more beautiful every day, and her lover had noticed. Carefully, the small girl climbed on top of her sleeping girlfriend to plant a gentle kiss on her lips without putting any other weight on her body.
“Rise and shine, sleeping beauty,” she whispered, kissing her lover’s ear. “Here’s your true love’s kiss so wake up…”
She kissed the familiar soft lips again over and over, seeming to have no effect on the sleeping girl whatsoever. Suddenly, she felt her back hit the bed in a flash as a slight weight pressed against her body. The kiss she had initiated got more intense as her lover kissed her back with much passion, quietly moaning. The petit girl pushed her attacker back as she exhaled sharply in disbelief.
“You tricked me!” she laughed.
“I did no such thing,” the short-haired girl grinned playfully. “I merely kept my eyes closed and you made the wrong assumption that I was sleeping, Reina.”
The turtle quickly locked her lips with her girlfriend’s before she could argue back. Reina silently gave in as she giggled into the kiss. They made out for a while, their tongues battling for dominance over another intensely. Reina wrapped her arms around Eri’s neck and pulled her down to make her lose balance and just simply fall on top of her. The kiss broke and Eri laughed as got on her elbows again and stroked her lover’s cheek, sighing blissfully.
“You’re not wearing any pants,” she commented, smiling cheekily.
“You’re not wearing any clothes,” Reina pointed out, smirking.
“Touché,” Eri chuckled, noting the bedsheet covering her nakedness.
“Mm… I like it, though,” the kitten murmured, pulling her girlfriend’s face in to meet her lips again.
The two lovers rolled over again to bring the kitten on the top. Their kiss continued on even more fervently than before, eliciting quiet moans from the both of them. Reina finally pulled slightly away, breathing hard.
“We should really get up now,” she sighed. “I made breakfast.”
“You’re enough for me,” Eri grinned, “although I wouldn’t mind continuing this in the kitchen.” She lifted up her head in an attempt to kiss her lover again but Reina pushed her lip down with her finger.
“Get dressed,” Reina chuckled, giving a quick peck on Eri’s forehead. “Anything in my closet is yours.”
The two girls finally got themselves off the bed and headed to the dresser. Reina put on a skirt and a large t-shirt over her camisole as Eri quickly put on some undergarments. She then picked out a blouse and a pair of jeans to wear for the day. As she checked her appearance in the large life-size mirror on the wall, Reina came up from behind and hugged her.
“Am I shaking?” she asked.
“… No,” Eri answered, putting her hands over Reina’s. “Should you be?”
“No,” the kitten smiled, “I thought I would be, what with it being only a couple hours before Papa arrives… but I’m not scared anymore. Right now, you feel closer to me than ever.”
“Well, considering you’re plastered to my back right now…” Eri joked, grinning.
“Not like that, baka,” Reina pouted. “You know what I mean.”
“Yeah, I know,” Eri beamed, “and I feel the same way.” She turned around to place her hands on her girlfriend, gentle yet firm. “Everything’s going to be okay, Reina. I promise.”
“I know it will be,” Reina nodded, smiling, “and I’m ready.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 64
A pair of cat-liked eyes glared out the window as though its very gaze was about to burn through the glass. Eri walked out of the kitchen after finishing the dishes, holding onto her cup of coffee. She had offered to do some of the chores around in the kitchen so that Reina could tidy up the living room a bit. The turtle placed her mug on the clean coffee table and was about to sit on the sofa, before she noticed her girlfriend looking out through the blinds. Sighing, Eri walked over to the kitten and gently wrapped her arms around her waist while leaning her chin against her shoulder. Reina’s body stiffened up for a bit before relaxing again, calmed by her girlfriend’s touch.
“I thought you weren’t scared,” Eri said.
“I’m not,” Reina answered. “I’m just… curious.”
“About what?”
“About why Papa is coming to Tokyo… and what it has to do with me.”
“Reina, everything—”
“—is going to be alright,” the kitten finished, chuckling. “I know, I know. I told you, it’s just curiosity.”
“… Well then, if you say so,” Eri smiled, kissing her girlfriend’s cheek.
As Reina giggled, the window panes shuddered from a vibration sent from outside. The two girls directed their attention outside again, and spotted a black limousine parked outside. A middle-aged man wearing a suit got out from the passenger seat and walked around to the back door. He opened it to let an older man, also wearing a dark suit, step out onto the sidewalk. In an instant, Eri felt her lover’s body stiffen again in her arms.
“He’s here.”
Reina gently pulled away from her lover and paced towards the front door. When Eri started to follow her, she whirled around and put two hands up.
“No, stay,” she said quickly. “I… I’m going to introduce you as a friend, alright? I mean… I just… don’t know if it’s a good idea to introduce my girlfriend in this situation, it’s not you, it’s just—”
“I got it, love, don’t worry,” Eri said warmly. “Go on.”
Reina breathed quickly a couple times before exhaling slowly. She gave a quick but definite nod to the turtle and slowly walked out of the living room. Eri made her way to the sofa and listened carefully as she waited. The bell rang almost simultaneously as the door handle turned with a click.
“Otou-san,” Eri heard her girlfriend say. That was odd. Hadn’t the kitten always referred to her father as ‘Papa’?
“Reina,” a tired but deep voice replied.
“Good to see you again, Reina ojou-sama,” a polite voice greeted.
“Likewise, Kaneda,” the kitten said curtly. “Please, come in.”
After a couple soft footsteps, Eri finally viewed two men following her girlfriend into the living room. One had a familiar face; he was a middle-aged man, perhaps in his thirties, with black hair and an average build. He wore glasses that certainly made him look sharp but something about him seemed quite gentle. The other man had an unfamiliar face; he was definitely older, forties, with bits of gray hair. He was shorter than the other man, but no shorter than Reina of course, and had slight wrinkles creasing his aged face. His tightly pursed lips showed determination and stubbornness, very much like Reina, yet his eyes carried some sort of weariness.
“You have a guest,” the older man said, eyeing the turtle curiously.
“She’s my friend,” Reina said smoothly, gliding to Eri’s side. “We met through a mutual friend.”
“Hajimemashite,” the turtle said, bowing. “Kamei Eri desu.”
“Kaneda Tetsuya desu,” the younger man said, also bowing. “We’ve met before, haven’t we? Please excuse me for my rudeness back then.”
“Oh no, no trouble at all, really,” Eri said quickly, smiling awkwardly. “Please… uh… sit down.” How does Reina do this? It’s so hard to lie with a straight face…
As Eri’s eyes met with President Tanaka’s, she braced up for some kind of dirty look or a glaring contest. However, his tired gaze remained unwavered as he gave an acknowledging nod to the turtle. Somehow, this man didn’t seem so terribly strict and frightening as Eri had imagined.
As the two men sat down on the couch, side by side, Reina and Eri mimicked their action, sitting directly across from them. Reina positioned herself to sit not too close to Eri, but not too far either; she would let their knees touch just the slightest bit. It didn’t leave the turtle cold by Reina’s surprisingly polished acting skills, but also didn’t leave any room for their company to doubt their supposed relationship.
“Did you want something to drink, Otou-san?” Reina asked, still keeping a very composed face. “Or Kaneda?”
“No thank you, Ojou-sama,” the President’s subordinate replied. “Perhaps Shachou would like some water?”
“Yes, please,” the older man nodded.
“I’ll be right back,” Reina said, standing up. As the kitten slipped out of the living room, Eri caught the president staring at her again, with curiosity. The turtle gave a small smile as her gaze rolled around everywhere, not sure where to focus on.
“You are my daughter’s friend?” President Tanaka asked again in a low voice.
“Yes, I am,” Eri nodded quickly, straightening her back.
“… How close are you with my daughter?”
“Very close,” Eri answered. “Closer than any other friend, I believe.” Closer than you’ll ever know…
“… Just friends?” Eri’s body stiffened as her senses went on full alert at the question. Reina’s father’s gaze was still scrutinizing her, trying to dig into her mind. Yet, there wasn’t much force behind his interrogation.
“Of course,” Eri assured, trying to keep her voice as even as possible. “We’re just good friends.”
“Hm.”
Eri examined her girlfriend’s father’s expression as he did the same with hers. He seemed to believe her words but Eri could tell that he was still unsure. Perhaps he thought it strange for Reina to have a friend at all—a normal friend, who was most definitely not a yankii.
Just then, Reina glided back into the living room and gently placed a glass of ice water down in front of her father. As she reclaimed her seat next to her lover, the president took a small sip from the cup.
“… How’s school?” the old man questioned, taking on a casual tone.
“It’s good,” Reina answered quietly. “I’m staying out of trouble.”
“I’ve noticed,” the father nodded, as he tried to think of another question before the awkward silence can take over. “You’ve… grown older.”
“So have you.”
“… Have you visited your mother recently?
“You know I go every year, Otou-san,” Reina sighed. “If I may ask, why are you here in Tokyo?”
Silenced ensued after the direct question, before the President’s right-hand man broke it with a cough. Eri eyed her girlfriend and the president back and forth nervously, expecting fireballs to blast out any second. The president fixed his eyes upon his daughter before taking another drink from his glass and clearing his throat.
“… I won’t hesitate anymore, then,” the man said seriously. “I’m here to take you back to Fukuoka.”
“… What?” Reina breathed, her eyes widening.
“You’re going to move back to Fukuoka,” Tanaka Shachou repeated. “I’m planning on selling this house afterwards, so pack your things quickly. I’m here to notify your school, too. I’ll be back in three days to pick you up.”
With that, the president got up from the sofa, followed by his shadow man. Eri blinked furiously, still not fully registering what just happened. Reina’s father was here, in Tokyo. He and Reina had an awkward, but nevertheless casual conversation. And suddenly, out of nowhere, he asked her to move back to Fukuoka.
No. He did not ask her. This wasn’t a request—it was an order. Reina’s father was demanding his daughter move back to Fukuoka, for reasons unknown. He had completely caught Reina off-guard, as Eri could very much tell by her exhaling sharply beside her.
“I’m not going.”
The two men stopped short of taking a step out of the living room, before they slowly turned around again. The younger man sighed as he shot a very apologetic look to the kitten, as though he had expected this kind of reaction. The president, however, did not seem as gentle anymore. The weariness was no longer in his eyes—only the stern, authoritarian gaze.
“What did you say?”
“I’m not going, Otou-san,” Reina repeated, getting to her feet to properly face her father. “I can’t go. I may have been born in Fukuoka, but my home is in Tokyo now. I won’t leave.”
“You have no choice,” the Shachou said gruffly, his eyes unwavering. “I’m selling this house as soon as we get back to Fukuoka. So pack.”
“I still won’t go back to Fukuoka,” Reina said firmly, raising her voice. “Otou-san, I have a life here. I go to school like a normal girl, I have friends… I can’t leave all that behind.”
“Listen to your father, Tanaka Reina,” the president growled, calling his daughter’s name for the first time in three years. “This is for your own good.”
“You sent me to Tokyo for my own good,” Reina argued back, fully engaging in the dispute. “For our good. And now you’re just going to pull me out of my own life again? Especially now, when it’s a life I love and appreciate? You can’t do that, Otou-san.”
“Watch your tongue, Reina!” the father shouted. “I can do that, and I will. And you will obey me.” His eyes were now half-filled with anger. But the other half… Eri still couldn’t quite grasp what I was.
“Why do you want me back in Fukuoka?” Reina asked, still in disbelief. “We separated so that we could breathe in our own space, didn’t we? Why are you trying to make it difficult for the both of us again?”
“HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!” Tanaka Shachou roared. “YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT, AFTER WHAT YOU DID…!”
Reina’s soft gasp triggered another silence, apart from the older man’s heavy breathing. Eri stood up hesitantly, as though she was getting ready to catch her girlfriend should she collapse or faint. Reina’s entire body was trembling from the shock of hearing her father’s thoughts outright in such a way. Her eyes were wide as they stared at her angry father. As her mind slowly returned to earth, Reina let out a deep breath and fisted her hands.
“… You’re right,” she said softly, blinking away the teardrops forming in the corner of her eyes. “After what I did, I have no rights at all. I know I killed Mama, I murdered the love of your life, I get it! But you know what?” She paused for a while as she quickly wiped away the stream of tears on her cheek. “… Mama would’ve wanted me to live this kind of life. Happily, without causing anyone else trouble. So I’m going to stay here and live that life, Otou-san.”
“… I won’t take this kind of nonsense, Reina,” the father growled angrily. “You will obey my words!”
“I don’t want to fight with you, Otou-san,” Reina said quickly, briskly dashing forward to take her father’s hands. “But you have to understand, I really love it here. I love my school, my friends… You have to understand!”
“I will be back in three days.”
“I won’t go back to Fukuoka with you, Otou-san!”
“YOU WILL SHOW ME RESPECT!”
A clear sound of skin hitting skin rang out. Eri gasped in shock, her body freezing in place. Her only desire was to rush over to her girlfriend, who had her head turned to side after the hit. Her cheeks were starting to turn red where her father had striked her, and the tears flowing down from her eyes did not conceal the color change. Kaneda stood frozen, also taken aback by his boss’s reaction to his daughter’s disobedience. The president himself stood still, breathing heavily, yet Eri could finally identify what was in his eyes besides anger—fear.
“Three days,” the father said in a low voice.
“… I can’t go,” Reina whispered, as her voice hitched multiple times from the crying.
As a spark of rage lit up on the man’s face once more, he raised his hands unconsciously for another strike. But after he swung his arms, he realized that he had hit the wrong target. Reina lifted her head, curious as to why she didn’t feel the pain the second time around, and found herself facing a familiar back. Eri breathed slowly as her cheeks started to sting from the after shock. Her arms were open, as though to shield her girlfriend; she had made a promise to Reina that she would protect her in her time of need, and she aimed to keep it.
“Please leave,” Eri said softly, looking up at the man who had just slapped her with steady eyes. “I’m begging you.”
The president’s shocked expression quickly got concealed as he turned his eyes to his daughter behind Eri. Kaneda wasn’t as professional this time around, as he could not hide his mixture of emotions comprising of confusion, astonishment, and worry.
“… Three days,” the president repeated.
He quickly turned to leave as his subordinate tailed him. Eri could hear the front door opening and slamming shut just as quickly. The sound of the car starting up could be felt as the window panes shuddered again from the car door closing. The roar of the engine then started to drift away from the house. When silence returned to the room, Eri whirled around to embrace her girlfriend tightly. Reina’s rigid muscles relaxed in in her lover’s arms.
“Are you okay?” Eri asked hurriedly, cupping her girlfriend’s cheek in her hands. “Does it hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt…” Reina mumbled, rubbing her eyes to get rid of the tears to no avail. “It doesn’t hurt… at all…”
She pulled herself closer to her lover again, hugging her. She then sobbed quietly into Eri’s shoulder, being careful not to cry out loud. Eri stroked her girlfriend’s back, murmuring words of comfort to her. She sniffed a couple times, trying to stop herself from crying out of guilt.
She had kept her promise to Reina in protecting her. However, she had failed to keep her word in promising everything was going to be okay.
** ** **
“Please excuse my rudeness, Shachou… but I believe you went too far back in Reina ojou-sama’s place.”
“You don’t need to tell me anything, Kaneda.”
The company president leaned back into his seat as he watched the Tokyo scenary pass by out his car window. His hand was still stinging from hitting his daughter and that other girl. If the attacker was still hurting… how much pain were the victims still enduring?
Suddenly, the old man broke out into a rough cough, alarming his subordinate and driver to bring their attention to him. Tanaka Shachou covered his mouth as he coughed repeatedly, before catching his breath slowly again.
“Shachou!” Kaneda called in a panicked voice. “Are you okay?”
“Fine, fine,” the president said hoarsely. “I’m still fine, Kaneda…”
Calmly, he took out a bulk of things from the inner pocket of his suit and placed it next to him. He picked out his handkerchief from the small bundle and wiped his mouth as well as his palm, dotted with blood. The man quickly folded his handkerchief the other way to conceal the red spots and proceeded to place everything in his suit pocket again.
He stopped for a moment when he came to his wallet, and instead decided to open it. Inside was a small picture, dating back to ten years ago. There was a man and woman seated side by side with a little girl standing between them in front of a black background. The woman and the girl were smiling brightly towards the camera. The man’s lips were crooked, as though he had made an awkward attempt to smile. The president slowly stroked the picture as he sighed.
I can’t let this go on. I will bring her back… even if it’s the last thing I do.

Chapter 65
Sayumi eyed the three yankiis sitting around her table as she daintly sipped her tea. They were laughing over a funny picture Aika had taken a day before, fully focusing on the camera screen. The bunny put her tea cup down and sighed. Her mind was filled with various thoughts of how to carry out her plan to make the first move on her girlfriend, and not be rejected this time around. And the first step in that plan was to gather some data.
“Shige-san, are you okay?” Aika questioned, noticing the bunny’s stiff expression.
“I’m fine,” Sayumi said quickly, smiling. “Why wouldn’t I be okay?”
“You’ve just been acting weird today,” Linlin shrugged. “Is there something bothering you?”
“Anything I can help with?” Junjun grinned, sliding her chair right next to her lover and putting her arms around her shoulder.
“I’m fine, really,” Sayumi assured. “Just… tired, I guess.”
The bunny tucked her hair behind one ear and took a sip of tea again. She had to figure out a way to split this yankii group, somehow. Isolate one… separate from the other two.
“Nee, Shige-san!” Aika called brightly. “Can we… go see your dogs again?”
“Oh, please say yes, it’s all she talks about now,” Junjun said, rolling her eyes.
“Um, yeah, sure, I’ll call Yasuda—” Sayumi stopped short as a lightbulb flashed on inside her head. “… Actually, I’ll go walk you down there myself. Come on.” She quickly got up from her seat and skittered to her bedroom door, opening it to usher the younger girls out.
“Then I’ll go this time, too,” Junjun said, getting up.
“No!” the bunny said too quickly, which caused the older panda to raise an eyebrow. “I… uh… I’ll be right back. I want to talk to you. So… stay. Here.”
Before the yankii leader could protest, Sayumi quickly motioned for the two girls skipping towards the door to get out of her bedroom and closed the door. She then ran down the hallway, followed by Aika and Linlin who just shrugged. When they were safely down the stairs and out the back door, Sayumi stopped to catch her breath. She put her hands on her knees and breathed out heavily, tired from the short run.
“Shige-san, are you okay?” Aika asked, crouching in front of the bunny to meet eyes with her.
“No offense, Shige-san,” Linlin chuckled, “but you’re really not the most athletic girl in Japan.”
“I got that, thanks,” Sayumi huffed, straightening her back. “Um… before we go see the dogs, can we—”
“Talk?” Aika finished, grinning. “Sure.”
“We figured you wanted to, since you strongly disagreed with Jun-senpai following us,” Linlin shrugged.
“… Yeah…” Sayumi nodded. Man, these kids were smart! Almost dangerous too… this was another one of those moments were it made Sayumi feel grateful that they weren’t her enemies. “Um… we can go to the gazebo. Come on.”
The three girls walked through the beautiful garden, passing by many colors of flowers and plants on the way. The sound of water flowing was constantly heard, since there was a large fountain almost every five meters. Soon enough, they could make out the large, white gazebo with vines climbing up the wooden posts, covering the roof. Sayumi stepped in and took a seat inside. Aika and Linlin sat on either side of her.
“So,” Aika started, “what is so secretive that you can’t even let Jun-senpai hear it?”
“Well… ah…” Sayumi hesitated. She was really ready to ask this but now that the actual time had come, she felt more embarassed than ever. “I know that… Junjun’s been with a lot of girls.”
“Yes.”
“And… she’s slept… a lot… with them.”
“… Yes…”
“And you two have always been friends with her, right?”
“If you want us to help you bust Jun-senpai or something,” Linlin said worriedly, “it’s going to take a really long time since there are a LOT of girls that she—”
“Linlin!” Aika interrupted. “I don’t think you’re helping the cause—”
“No, that’s not my problem,” Sayumi said quickly. “Rather… um… I wanted to ask…”
“Go on, Shige-san,” Linlin encouraged.
“I wanted to ask…” The bunny felt her cheeks heat up quickly. “What… uh… Junjun looks for… in… you know.”
“Girls?” Aika guessed.
“Sex?” Linlin suggested.
“Linlin!” Aika scolded.
“No, that’s right!” Sayumi yelled, blushing. “I mean… yeah.”
Linlin’s eyes widened, surprised that the guess that she made on a whim was actually correct. Aika blinked a couple times, still not quite registering what Sayumi had in mind.
“… You want us to tell you what Jun-senpai looks for… in sex?” Aika rephrased.
“Yes,” Sayumi mumbled.
“Like, what turns her on, turns her off, one-oh-one?” Linlin inquired.
“… That’s a blunt way to put it,” Sayumi muttered, staring down at the floor, “but… yes.”
“… Quite honestly, Shige-san,” Linlin sighed, “I don’t think you need to know anything like that. As long as it’s you, Jun-senpai will be satisfied.”
“Yeah, but…” Sayumi hesitated. She dared not tell these girls about the way she was rejected before. The unfamiliar look that Junjun had in her eyes… “I still want to know. For her.”
“Well, there’s nothing wrong with curiosity, right?” Aika grinned, winking at her girlfriend. “We could… tell Shige-san… what Jun-senpai likes… right?”
“Right!” Linlin grinned, taking the hint from her lover. “Little things that we’ve heard… that Jun-senpai likes… right?”
“Of course,” Aika giggled.
The two girls quickly linked their arms with Sayumi’s, causing the bunny to look at them with slightly confused expressions.
“We’ll tell you everything we know about Jun-senpai’s taste,” Aika grinned.
“If you follow our instructions, we can guarantee that it’ll be one hell of a night,” Linlin chimed in.
“Ah… arigatou…” Sayumi laughed nervously. Can I really even trust these girls…?

Yay this is my favorite group in your story! :) 8th gen is amazing and I love your Sayu I think I mentioned that before :twothumbs
This group seems to be the most carefree and easiest-going ones in this story... I'm waiting for (and dreading!) an angst part to sink in >< Maybe... GASP an arranged marriage?! -got the idea from reading Tanakacchi's comment- >< Let's just hope I'm over thinking things and things will continue on fluffily ><
That was really quick!
-
remember how I was gonna torture you guys for a while by holding TakaGaki back? that's still valid :twisted:
In anticipation also has its own charm... ;)
Somehow imperceptibly under the pressure of the secrets of daddy's coming, completely forgot about Sayu and Jun. :sweatdrop:
“If you follow our instructions, we can guarantee that it’ll be one hell of a night,” Linlin chimed in.
hehe, and why it seems to me that it would be "one hell of a night" but in a slightly different sense?)
-
one hell of a night as in complete disaster? or Sayu doing something completely stupid like putting chin dildo on :dunno: (i only know this thing exists thanks to a sex book me and my mates found at my mate's parents' bedroom... bad times.... :fainted: )
and btw you're really sadistic :err:
-
Haha XD Sayu really wanna get laid by Jun eh? :roll:
-
@shenlog LOL WTF! omg XD
Wow that was a fast update :cow: I wonder what Sayu's plan to seduce Jun is :twisted:

ofcourse i love tanakame, but i'm getting bored !! :doh: :nervous :panic:
err, haha. hope to read the next chapter soon :D 8)
-
Hey! I've been waiting for this! Please continue writing!
-
Aww Sayu, trying to find ways to entice Jun, but, well, I just think that there is more to Jun stopping that time rather than not finding Sayu attractive or her not doing the wrong thing...
as Lin said
I don’t think you need to know anything like that. As long as it’s you, Jun-senpai will be satisfied.
There is obvioulsy something that stopped Jun, and perhpas it was because it was Sayu, but not because of what she did or didn't do but perhpas more simply that it is Sayu who Jun was going to sleep with, a girl who perhpas Jun for the first time actually truly loves, perhpas in some ways Jun herself felt, worried, scard, unable to 'do' it with a girl she liked, was she not sure in her own mind that it was what Sayu wanted.....
We shall see I'm sure.....
-
um... Sayu asking for advice from Linlin and Aika? bad move? :nervous
next up is a secret? I hope it is TakaGaki XD
-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 66
Tanaka Koichi couldn’t help but sigh deeply, visibly showing his disappointment in his wrinkled expression. Well, the pictures of the campus on the internet definitely looked better than the real thing, but that probably held true for any kind of website for a public space. Except that this was a private school and Tanaka Shachou really had expected a bit more from the highly acclaimed Morning Gakuen. What he had just seen inside the school was no more than an average school: old walls, creaking floor boards, loud doors… it was clearly not a replica of the pictures on their website.
At least the curriculum was still superior like he had heard, compared to the not-so-superior old buildings that really needed a new paintjob. He had wanted his daughter to go to a school that could change her for the better, to knock her out of that fighting habit and tone her down into a more… composed lady, worthy of the Tanaka name. And it seemed that his desires had come true, as Reina was indeed known as a very good student amongst the teachers at this renowned Academy. He was told multiple times what a wonderful daughter he had raised, and he appreciated those words—except that he knew she was still disobeying him.
And why not disobey him? Tanaka Koichi knew very well what he was asking of his daughter; she had lived her entire life belonging nowhere. And now that she got settled into Tokyo, he was asking her to leave. He knew how much that would break her, but he had no choice. It was vital that Reina get back to Fukuoka with him immediately. She may cry now, but scars were meant to heal. She’d get better.
But what surprised him more were his own reactions to her defiance. He had actually hit her. Reina. His one and only child. He hadn’t even laid a hand on her after his wife passed away as an indirect result of his daughter being arrested. In fact, he hadn’t even yelled at her. He had just asked her to pack up, leave, and go to Tokyo for the time being. And that time had extended out into three years. Perhaps that kind of silence was even worse; perhaps he should have yelled at her so that he could hold some kind of conversation between them, even if it was only to be an argument. It would’ve been better than pushing her away with silence. When he had held his head in his hands and refused to look up at her, she had just answered him quietly in obedience. She had left by train that very night. He was half-shocked and half-relieved. Shocked, because she had taken her punishment quietly and relieved, because it meant she had honestly loved her mother. But this was the worst possible way to find out.
And now, after so many years, the first contact they have during their reunion had to be a slap on the face, literally. How could he have done such a thing? That precious child that he had gained after so much effort he had put in, along with his wife, had been harmed by his own hands. The look on her face was… agony. Those eyes of hers resembled her mother so much that whenever he gazed at them, it pained him. They had the same mouth and the same stubborn tongue, but that determination and courage in her eyes was her mother’s.
And that other girl that was there. Kamei was her name, was it? Kamei something. He could remember her family name because it strangely sounded like “turtle”. It was only one more kanji added at the end, after all. She had taken the second hit for Reina. Sure, they were good friends but still, most friends wouldn’t quite literally come between family matters in such a manner. And the way she looked at him was simply overwhelming, so full of force and even hate, yet still pleading. She hadn’t made such a strong impression when he had first questioned her, but now he couldn’t forget that girl and the way her arms were stretched across to protect Reina… which was why he had made a special request to his right-hand man.
“You have her file, Kaneda?” the president asked as he comfortably settled into his car seat.
“Yes sir,” the subordinate answered, handing his boss a manila folder. “I went to her school earlier this morning and did some research. Of course, I avoided any suspicions.”
“Good work, Kaneda,” Tanaka Shachou nodded as she opened the folder to face a student profile page. Average to failing grades, no club activities, “not focused in class”, a couple friends… This girl is so average that it’s ridiculous how she became friends with a Morning Gakuen student like Reina.
“Shachou, are we heading back to the hotel?” Kaneda asked, peering at his employer through the rear-view mirror.
“… No,” Tanaka Koichi answered, closing the folder. “I want to go to one more place.”
“Shachou, you really should rest…” Kaneda said, worriedly.
“I’m fine, I’m not that sick yet,” President Tanaka grunted. “Now take me to Haro Kotogakko. There’s something I’m curious about…”
** ** **
The hallway remained silent except for the sound of Risa’s feet, skipping happily. Classes had signaled its end a long time ago, but the class representative had had to stay after to supervise the play practice that had gone on. Even though Eri had left early right after her last class, the rest of the crew had insisted on staying after to at least finish all the costume and stage set work. Some of the classmates were frustrated over Eri’s early departure, but Risa had managed to calm them down. After all, she understood very well what her turtle friend was going through with her girlfriend after their little text message session during English class. Of course, they took care not to continue that digital conversation into history class to avoid Takahashi-sensei’s hawk eyes.
After a long day of being stuck in the classroom, the bean was glad to have finally been released from her day as a responsible iinchou. She had sent all her fellow peers home first, insisting that she would clean up the mess after them. After her final job was done, she had realized the school was probably empty by now, as it was already time for the sun to set. So she had quickly gathered her own things and was now making her way to the place where her lover was waiting.
Risa quickly slid the door open to peek into the teacher’s office. The room was dark except for the orange sunlight seeping through the blinds and a single desk lamp switched on. There was only one person in the room, a woman with her long brown hair in a ponytail, sitting in front of her computer and typing something furiously. The bean smiled, pleased to see her lover working so hard while waiting for her.
Risa carefully slipped past the door and tip-toed over to Ai’s desk. The older woman was completely unsuspecting, as she was fully engrossed in her work. Risa stifled a giggle as she slowly glided behind her girlfriend and lifted her hands up. Then, she slammed them down on Ai’s shoulders and yelled.
“Sensei!”
“AGH!”
As she let out a man-scream, the teacher whipped around in shock to spot her girlfriend, laughing like crazy. She let out a deep sigh of relief and put her hand over her heart.
“Gaki-san, you scared me!” Ai breathed.
“Never gets old,” Risa grinned, kissing the teacher’s cheek. “Otsukaresama deshita!”
“Otsukare,” Ai chuckled. “Did you finish everything you needed to do?”
“Yup! Sorry you had to wait long, Sensei.”
“It’s okay, I was just finishing up some grading,” Ai smiled, logging off her computer and standing up from her chair. “Good job on that last paper. Maybe you can spread some of that wisdom to your friend?”
“Believe me, I tried,” Risa groaned, imagining what kind of grade Eri could have received this time.
“Well, you’re not supposed to be responsible for her anyway,” Ai laughing softly.
The teacher packed a couple notebooks in her bag and slung it over her shoulder. As she straightened her back to turn off the desk lamp, Risa could see her full body now, dressed in a loose white blouse and a semi-tight pencil skirt. It was the perfect outfit to show off her slim figure.
“Shall we go, then?” Ai suggested. “I’ll take you home.”
“Home?” Risa blinked in surprise. “I thought… we were going to hang out today.”
“We were… but it’s getting late,” Ai shrugged. “It’s time for dinner soon, so you should get home. We’ll go out some other time.”
“But you promised we’d have a date today!” Risa argued, visibly showing her discontent. “We were going to go to the mall, take purikura, and—”
“Yes, that’s what we planned,” Ai reasoned, patting her girlfriend’s head, “but I didn’t think we would stay in school this late. You should keep your curfew and go home.”
“I don’t even have a curfew!” Risa yelled, rolling her eyes. “That’s just something you made up even though my own mother doesn’t mind. You always baby me like this, but I’m old enough to take care of myself!”
Risa looked straight at her lover, who was obviously quite taken aback by her outburst. She quickly looked away and sighed. She couldn’t help but feel pathetic how she was asking her teacher not to baby her, yet she was being so immature, yelling like this. Behold, the irony.
Ai said nothing. She had indeed wanted to baby her girlfriend and was, in a way, kind of glad that Risa exploded like this. The girl really needed to express her deeply buried feelings rather than keeping them hidden. But Ai didn’t want to upset the bean in order to bring this effect out. She never meant to disappoint her.
“… Gaki-san—”
“Forget it, I didn’t say anything,” Risa said quickly, sighing. “Let’s just… go home.”
She forced a smile at her lover, trying to convince her that she was alright. Of course, Ai’s hawk-like senses could not be tricked so easily. The teacher stared at her girlfriend for a while before dropping her bag on the floor, walking over to the door, and turning the lock. When she marched back over to the bean, she pulled the schoolbag off of Risa’s back and turned her around. Risa’s eyes were wide open and shot with confusion.
“I’m sorry about our date,” Ai murmured, stroking the younger girl’s cheeks, “but I can try to make it up to you…”
As Risa let out a soft gasp, Ai easily captured her lover’s lips with her own and kissed her slowly. The loving kiss immediately distracted Risa from her own anger, allowing her to now fully engage in this new action. She coiled her arms around Ai’s neck, pulling her closer, as Ai hugged her tightly around the waist. Then, the teacher suddenly pushed her girlfriend back towards her desk until Risa leaned against the edge of the desk and could no longer move anywhere. The kiss heated up fast as Ai moved her lips against her lover’s faster, hungry for more. Risa let out a moan as she tried to keep up with her eager girlfriend. Suddenly, Ai slightly lifted the young girl by her waist and sat her down on the desk, pinning her hands down. Risa let out a short yelp in surprise but Ai only continued her attack with a smirk; she quickly pushed Risa’s legs apart to step in between them, automatically allowing Risa to straddle her waist. When the bean tried to push her back, Ai merely kept her girlfriend’s hands pinned down on the desk, completely immobilizing her.
“S-sensei…?” Risa stammered, turning bright red.
“Since you want to grow up so fast,” Ai softly murmured as she played with Risa’s hair, “let me show you how adults play before their curfew…”
As the teacher gently traced her girlfriend’s lips with her tongue, the younger girl couldn’t stop her heartbeat from racing faster and faster. Risa’s chest heaved up and down as Ai started to undo the top three buttons of Risa’s uniform to reveal just a bit of her undergarment, all the while laughing amusedly at her innocent reaction.
“So I’m not allowed to make a move on you,” Risa breathed, “but you can do whatever you want with me?”
“Last time I checked, teachers order students, right?” Ai chuckled. She bent her head down and started to trail kisses on her lover’s bare chest, before sucking down the soft skin to mark her territory. Risa threw her head back, gasping, as her legs around her teacher’s waist tightened.
“Yet you still expect me to wait until graduation?” Risa whispered, satisfied with the attention she was receiving but quite frustrated with the logic of the situation. “At least let me—”
“Don’t test me, baby,” Ai sighed. She finally looked up at Risa’s red face again, satisfied with the pink mark she left on her collar bone. “I already made it clear that I want you, right? So just wait a bit more… for me?”
“Yeah, yeah, I’ll preserve my childhood innocence or whatever,” the bean grumbled, rolling her eyes.
“Thank you,” Ai smiled. “And I promise you that we will definitely go on a date before that mark on your chest disappear. Deal?”
“Deal,” Risa grinned, kissing her lover.
“Okay, time to really head out now,” Takahashi-sensei sighed, helping Risa hop down from the desk. She took care in redoing every button she had opened on the student’s shirt before she ruffled her hair teasingly. “Pick up your bag, let’s get out of here.”
Risa made an annoyed expression as her hair was messed up, but eventually just laughed. Ai gathered her own things and offered her hand to her girlfriend, who willingly took it. Together, the couple made their way out of the teacher’s office and down the stairs. The entire school was really silent except for the custodians in their office, waiting to start their night shift. When the lovers stepped outside into the field, the sky was already dyed in deep red from the disappearing sun. As Risa energetically talked about the play rehearsal and other interesting things that happened that day, Ai spotted a man, lingering around the entrance gate. She signaled her girlfriend to stop chatting by putting her hands up; Risa paused immediately and followed Ai’s gaze to where she was staring, and cocked her head to the side in confusion. Taking silent hints from each other, they let go of each other’s hand and walked over to the man. He was dressed nicely in a black suit and blue tie; he didn’t seem familiar at all.
“Um… excuse me?” Takahashi-sensei called, capturing the man’s attention. “Can I help you?”
“… Perhaps,” he answered, narrowing his eyes. From afar, he looked well-groomed and very professional. But after getting closer, Risa managed to catch all the wrinkles gained from aging on the man’s face. He still seemed like an upright man, but definitely older.
“Are you… a parent?” Ai questioned. “None of the teachers are left except for me but I can take a message, if you’d like?”
“No, no, that won’t be necessary,” the man said, shaking his head. “I’m not a parent, just an… acquaintance, of a student. I was just looking around the school while waiting for my ride… he made a short trip to the gas station.”
“Oh,” Ai remarked, still not quite sure what to make of this situation. “Well… if there’s anything else I can assist you in—”
“Actually, there may be,” the man said suddenly. “Do you maybe teach a student named… Kamei?”
“Why, yes, Kamei Eri,” Ai said surprised, “she’s a student of mine.” Her eyes flickered towards her girlfriend, but Risa’s expressions clearly revealed the fact that she had no idea what the relationship between the man and her friend was.
“If I may ask… is she a good student here?” the man inquired. “Anything she is specially good at, or the way she socially interacts with other students… both in and out of school?”
“… I’m sorry, if you are not her parent, I do not feel comfortable revealing that sort of information,” Takahashi-sensei replied firmly, gaining a sigh of relief from Risa.
“Oh no, I’m no one dangerous, I already know quite a things about this Kamei Eri, actually,” the man coughed. “Like the fact that she receives generally low grades, and that she’s not good at speaking to others on their first meeting, and that she’s rather… ditzy. Excuse me, but she seems to be a very incompetent young lady who has no class at all.”
“I’m sorry, sir—”
“Well, excuse you!” Risa interrupted angrily, taking a step in front of her teacher. The man directed his attention to her, surprised at hearing her voice for the first time. “That incompetent girl with no class that you’re talking about happens to be my best friend!”
“Now you listen, young lady—”
“No, you listen to me!” Risa growled, glaring at the man in rage. “I don’t know who you are or what your problem is, but you have no right to talk about Eri like that, especially when you don’t even know her! Yeah, she may be kind of loopy sometimes… but Eri is the sweetest person I know, and really down-to-earth. She’s the type of person who listens first before judging, and would never decide a person’s character based on their appearance or background. And when it come to people she cares about, she wouldn’t hold back anything to continue protecting them and treasuring them. That’s why I’m grateful to be her friend, and that’s why everybody in the school can’t help but love Eri! So why don’t you get to know someone first before you go ahead and gossip about them, Oji-san!”
As Risa continued to fume in her own anger, the man opened his mouth to say something but could find no words. Ai smiled to herself as she mumbled, “That’s my girl”.
The man had no idea what to say to the student. Yes, he still thought that Kamei Eri was this ditzy, unsophisticated city girl, but he found himself starting to believe the words of this girl in front of him. They way Kamei Eri had been there for his daughter this entire time, despite her past and the initial happening that made her leave her original home… and the way she had protected his daughter when he had lost control… Those were the kind of things he couldn’t do for his daughter. He had failed to look past his daughter’s mistakes for the past three years, and was never there for her during their separation. What a terrible father he had been…
“… I suppose I have misjudged Kamei Eri,” the man said in a low voice. “I apologize for my rude behavior. I’m glad to have been enlightened by you, young lady.”
“Hope I was helpful in your little research, or whatever you’re doing,” Risa grumbled, triggering a nudge from her lover.
“Yes, you certainly were,” the man said, smiling a little. “I’m sorry for the disturbance. Have a good evening, the both of you.”
“I thought your car was…” Ai started.
“I’ll start walking a little; the car will come by,” the man nodded. “Farewell.”
“Good-bye, then.”
The man bowed, as did Ai and Risa, and started to walk down the street. The two lovers stare at his back for a while before the bean started to grumble to herself.
“Who does he think he is, coming here and talking about Eri like that…” she muttered angrily.
“It’s okay, just let it go,” Ai chuckled, putting her arm around the girl. “I’m proud of what you did there to defend Kamei-san. That was very noble of you… and sweet.”
“Well, Eri would’ve done the same for me,” Risa shrugged. “Can we go home now?”
“Let’s go,” Ai grinned.
The couple held hands together once again and started to head down the sidewalk. But only after a couple steps, they heard a thud behind them, as though something had fell. Risa just glanced back first nonchalantly, then gasped in shock. Ai also turned around after that, and her eyes widened in surprise as she spotted the man they had conversed with, collapsed on the sidewalk. She quickly dashed over with Risa behind her and bent down.
“Oji-san?” Risa called, shaking the limp body. “Oji-san, what’s wrong? Answer me!”
“Stop shaking him!” Ai yelled. She took a better look at the man’s face and then pressed her fingers against his pulse point on his wrist. “Call 911, Gaki-san. He coughed up blood, then fainted. Hurry, now!”
Still feeling shaky, Risa quickly took out her cell phone and dialed the three numbers. The tone only went once before the Tokyo hotline was answered by a deep voice.
“I-I-I need an ambulance in front of Haro Kotogakko right away!” Risa yelled in a panicked voice. “We have a man down, h-he coughed up blood, please hurry!”

ANGST BABY ANGST :ding:
:byebye: :sleep:

Wahh more angst >< Reina's Papa, don't die!! You have to accept TanaKame first :bleed eyes: <-- that probably just sounded terrible of me
Moving on, finally more TakaGaki~~ I was surprised when Ai-chan started kissing Gaki. After all all your wonderfully citrusy scenes I can't read :tama-mad: FFFFF so I got a bit excited xD "yes :w00t: yes :drool: YES :inlove: wait :O wait :shocked no no NOOO" :bleed eyes: you're killing me, SarangAi :banghead:
Haha ignore me xD I love the story still <3 I'm a very simple girl~~~
-
So little by little everything about Reina's father's visit is becoming clear, the man is dying and, despite thier problems has obviously come to Reina to take her back to lead his 'empire' or even to marry someone to save it but perhpas he cannot at this point say to Reina quite what it is he want's her to do, out of guilt of a relationship that failed, a failure he feels that he himself is more responsible for......
-
Sorry for not commenting on your recent updates! ;) Well they are recent to me since I didn't get a chance to read them. This trip is keeping me away from my usual fandom activities. :bleed eyes:

Chapter 66: Sweet TakaGaki. :mon inluv: Get some. :D Oh no! What's going to happen to Reina's father?? :O Perhaps his reason for forcing her to go back is related to his health? What else can his reason be? :?
-
Oh man, the Tanakas sure is stubborn. All Reina's papa has to do is opens his mind more and be honest to his daughter. Hurt your precious person is as painful as being hurt by them, be honest Oji-san!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 67
Rarely in her life had Eri met someone who could run as fast as her. Well, it seemed that the special day had come, as the turtle felt the other’s presence right by her side as she speeded down the hallway. But what shocked her was not that someone could keep up with her, but the fact that the same someone happened to be Reina. The kitten was sprinting at the same velocity as her girlfriend, feeling more rushed than ever. As unimaginable as the situation was, Eri found it quite believable just in this case. After all, the man that had just visited the kitten the day before was now in the hospital after fainting and coughing up blood.
After turning a couple corners, just like the nurses at the front desk instructed, the two girls could see the bright red light above a double door at the end of the hallway, lighting up the word, “EMERGENCY”. As they slowed to a stop, Eri gasped when she spotted two familiar figures seated on the bench against the wall.
“Risa-chan…?” Eri called, raising her eyebrows. “And… Sensei?”
The bean turned her head and slowly got up as she recognized her friend’s face. Ai also got up and gave a curt nod to Reina, who seemed to be completely tuned out at that point.
“Eri?” Risa said, confused. “What are you doing here?”
“… We got a call about Reina’s father being taken to the E.R.,” Eri said slowly, still trying to figure out what was exactly going on. “But… what are you and Sensei doing here?”
Risa quickly shot a surprised look at her teacher, who just let out a deep sigh. “Small world, huh?” Ai said. “I guess… the man we met back at the school was Reina’s father.”
“You’re the ones who found him?” Eri asked, her eyes widening. “Wow. Really small world.”
“What exactly happened?” Reina questioned in a low voice, not taking her eyes off the emergency room door.
“He was lingering around the school gate,” Risa started, biting her bottom lip, “and he asked… about you, Eri.”
“Me?” The turtle tilted her head to the side, wondering what in the world Tanaka Shachou could’ve possibly asked about.
“Yeah,” the bean said quickly, wanting to avoid the details of their conversation, “and then we parted ways, and next thing we know, he collapsed.”
“… I see…”
Reina froze in place as she mindlessly stared at the closed emergency room with a blank expression. Her eyes were glazed over as they saw nothing, making it impossible for Eri to detect her emotions. Eri desired for nothing more than to go comfort Reina, hug her, and tell her everything was going to okay. But she didn’t have even a speck of confidence to make that kind of promise, a promise that she doesn’t know if she can keep. If another hopeful promise was to break, Eri knew that Reina would break with it.
“Hey,” Risa whispered, causing the turtle to jump a little, “I thought Reina’s family was in Fukuoka. What’s her dad doing here, and asking about you? What’s going on?”
“It’s a long story,” Eri mumbled back, still preoccupied with the thought of protecting her girlfriend. “I’ll explain later…”
Just then, a different set of feet stepped quickly towards the emergency room and stopped behind Reina. Risa and Ai eyed the young man with politeness but also confusion. Eri gave a small bow.
“Kaneda-san,” she greeted. “You got a call as well?”
“Yes, from the hospital,” the man nodded. “How is Shachou?”
“He’s been there for the past half an hour,” Risa answered. “He fainted and… coughed up blood.” She cringed at the thought of the man’s limp body on the sidewalk, as Ai put her arm around her to support her.
“… I suppose it was only a matter of time,” Kaneda said quietly.
“Matter of time?” Reina said suddenly, whipping around to face her father’s subordinate. “What are you talking about?”
Before Kaneda could answer, the emergency room door flipped open to let a woman dressed entirely in green out, capturing everybody’s attention. She pulled her mask off and took off her gloves as well.
“Do we have a member of Tanaka Koichi’s family here?” the doctor asked.
“Yes, I’m his daughter,” Reina said, stepping forward.
“Well, first of all, could you please tell me how long your father has been going through hemoptysis?” the doctor questioned.
“I… I don’t know, I’m sorry,” Reina hesitated, shaking her head. “We… usually don’t live together; he, uh, was visiting me from Fukuoka and…”
“It happened once about a month ago,” Kaneda suddenly interrupted. “I don’t know how often it happened after that.”
“Why didn’t Tanaka-san go get a check-up as soon as it happened?” the doctor questioned.
“… He refused to go,” Kaneda answered quietly. “The last time he… got a check-up, his work ended up slowing down so… he didn’t want that.”
“There was a last time?” Reina asked, looking at Kaneda then back at the doctor. “I’m sorry, what is wrong with my father?”
“… There’s no easy way to say this,” the doctor sighed, “but your father has lung cancer.”
A soft gasp elicited from Risa and Eri who seemed a lot more shocked than Reina herself. The kitten merely blinked a couple times in disbelief and laughed dryly. “… What?”
“He has small cell lung cancer,” the doctor repeated, trying to speak in a gentle tone, “and it seems to be his second time as well, a relapse from before, so… his body is very weak in handling this.”
“… Second time?” Reina mumbled. “W-what are you talking about, what is she talking about?” She turned back and forth from Kaneda and the doctor but received no answer from both people.
“He came to the hospital too late, so surgery is out of the question,” the doctor continued. “He needs very strong chemotherapy and radiation therapy, but considering that he’s not quite young, nor is he completely healthy… I can’t say for sure where the treatment is going to leave him. So as of now, we’re trying to get some extra nutrients and various fluids in him to get him ready for therapy.”
“… C-can I see him…?” Reina asked, her voice shaking.
“... I’m sorry, not right now,” the doctor said apologetically. “He’s not conscious and we’re going to start as soon as we’re ready.”
“He… he’s not going to… d-die… right?”
“… We always do our best.”
Reina exhaled shakily as she shut her eyes tightly, as though she wished to escape reality altogether. “Thank you, doctor,” she whispered hoarsely.
The female doctor also nodded at the people gathered around her before disappearing back into the emergency room again. Eri was about to step closer to her girlfriend, but then she noticed Reina’s expression tightening. Then, without warning, she whirled around to slap Kaneda across the face, shocking everyone who was still watching. The man sighed as he faced Reina again, as though he was completely willing to take another hit from her.
“What… does she mean by ‘the second time’ and ‘relapse’?” Reina interrogated through her teeth. “How the hell did this even happen?!”
“… Shachou had lung cancer a year ago, Reina ojou-sama,” Kaneda confessed. “There was an undetected asbestos problem in his office… and he was practically living there after you left… and he got sick. He received surgery to get the tumor out but that put him in the hospital for a couple months. The company slowed down and he swore never to put his work on hold like that again. So when the cancer relapsed… he refused to go get it checked.”
“Then you should have forced him to the hospital!” Reina yelled angrily. “You should’ve dragged him over! Why didn’t you do anything?”
“I had no idea his situation was already this bad,” Kaneda admitted, shaking his head. “I was going to urge him to go to the hospital after we returned to Fukuoka.”
“… Why wasn’t I notified of Otou-san having… c-cancer?” Reina asked quietly, tears starting to form at the corner of her eyes.
“He made me swear not to tell,” the man explained. “He… made me promise not to tell anyone, especially you. He didn’t want to worry you.”
“Worry me?!” Reina shrilled, her breathing getting uneasy. “My… my father is fighting… a sickness that could kill him… and you kept me in the dark to not worry me?!”
“Ojou-sama… I’m sorry.”
“SORRY? ABOUT WHAT?” Reina yelled, tears streaming down her cheeks. “How I never knew anything? How you kept me in the dark? LISTEN TO ME!” She grabbed Kaneda’s shirt collar and glared at him with all the fury in the world. “Papa… PAPA MIGHT DIE, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?! Just like… just like Mama… I won’t get a last word in… Papa is going to leave me, DO YOU HEAR ME?!”
As she weakly fisted Kaneda’s shoulder, Reina’s painful cries made Risa turn away to bury her head into Ai’s shoulder. Eri slowly stepped towards her lover, who was now slipping down to the tiled floor, vocally crying out everything that she couldn’t say in the past. Eri knelt down gently took Reina’s shoulder, guiding her into her embrace. Even as she wailed into Eri’s shoulder, Reina’s tears did not know how to cease.
“Don’t leave me, Papa!” Reina cried out, shoving a stake into Eri’s chest with every word. “Don’t leave me alone! Please… don’t leave me!”
Eri gently stroked the broken girl’s back and let her cry out, unable to find any words of comfort. Kaneda stood in his place, guilt-ridden from realizing his own mistakes. Ai held Risa’s hand tightly to reassure her that she wasn’t alone in this dark place.
No one had the heart to tell Reina that everything was going to be okay.

Hopefully Reina can go through this with Eri, and then they're back on track~ Surprisingly, I am looking forward to ShigeJun. I wanna see what information Linlin and Aika will pass onto Sayumi. XP

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 68
Maybe this really was a mistake. Sure, Sayumi trusted her two younger yankii friends with all her heart, but she was also aware of how much they liked to play jokes. And from the looks of it, they had seemed a bit too eager to help her out. What the bunny was about to do was completely out of her character; it was something that she never thought she would ever do in her life. But alas, the day had come where she actually felt the need to seduce someone, that someone being her girlfriend.
Chewing on her lips, Sayumi rocked back and forth on her bed while tucking her knees underneath her chin. Everything was in place, just as Aika and Linlin had organized that afternoon. The necessary outfit was inside the walk-in closet while all other items were shoved underneath the bed. Sayumi could feel her cheeks burning with embarrassment at the mere thought of the objects that she had bought off the internet with assistance from her little delinquent friends. She could only be thankful that none of her maids read the labels on the packages and told Nanny about it; there was absolutely no excuse for the delivery being from an adult website. How did Aika and Linlin even know these things anyway…?
Sayumi shook her head and breathed in and out, slowly, to calm herself down. If she felt embarrassed just by thinking of such things, how could she handle the real deal when the time came? She had to remain mature about this, especially when her significant other was Junjun who was oh-so-experienced in this area. And this time, she had to take charge first. Aika and Linlin wouldn’t be there this time to help; everything was up to how Sayumi conducted herself. The bunny was fully aware of this.
The heiress checked the clock on her wall. 8 o’clock. She should be here soon.
And as if on cue, there was a knock at the door followed by the voice of Sayumi’s maid, announcing her guest. The bunny quickly got up from the bed before inviting the visitor in. The door opened to reveal a tall girl with a familiar grin, wearing shorts and a hoodie, with a backpack slung over her shoulder. When the door closed behind her, Junjun dropped her bag and opened her arms.
“What, no greeting?” she said, faking a pout.
Sayumi blushed with joy as she revealed a shy smile. She pranced over to her girlfriend and jumped into her arms, embracing her tightly. Junjun chuckled as she wrapped her arms around the bunny’s waist and lifted her up easily to swing her around in the air, causing her to laugh. When she put her down, she leaned down for a kiss which she received immediately.
“Hey there, love,” Junjun murmured.
“Hey, yourself,” Sayumi replied, beaming.
“Man, it’s only been a couple hours since school ended but I missed you already,” the panda laughed, ruffling up Sayumi’s hair to her dismay.
“Stop that,” the bunny complained, pushing Junjun’s hand away. “I just brushed my hair, geez!”
“Whatever you say, Usa-chan,” Junjun smirked, plopping down on the large bed. “You got Aika’s text message?”
“Um… yeah, she and Linlin had a… another thing…” Sayumi said hesitantly, trying to remain casual.
“They’re probably off causing mischief again or something,” Junjun sighed. “So I guess it’s just us two for this sleepover, hm?”
Sayumi quickly nodded, hoping that her sharp girlfriend wasn’t able to see through her weak acting. Indeed, this little sleepover was originally planned to include four people, as far as Junjun knew, but it was supposed to be just for the two older girls in the first place. Aika and Linlin had had to make an excuse to pull out at the last minute, so Sayumi could be alone with her lover.
“So the night is still young,” Junjun shrugged. “What should we do?”
“Um… we could…” Sayumi hesitated. She didn’t want to make a move yet; it was way too early, the maids weren’t even sleeping yet, and she wasn’t sure if she was ready either.
“What do you usually do before going to bed?” the panda asked, trying to help the bunny brainstorm.
“Well, I…” Suddenly, Sayumi clapped her hands together and smiled. “I know just what we can do!”
The bunny skittered over to her bathroom and looked through the various tubes and bottles on the shelf. She then pranced back to the bed with a couple of facial cleansing things, a headband, and a towel slung over her shoulder. She dropped everything on the bedside table and smiled at her girlfriend, who looked very confused at that point.
“Here, put this on,” Sayumi ordered, tossing the headband to Junjun. “You have to pull your bangs back.”
“For… what?” Junjun asked, slowly pulling the headband down to her neck and back up to push her hair back.
“You asked me what I usually do at this time, right?” Sayumi grinned. “Well… I’ll show you what I do!”
“Should I be scared?” Junjun asked, laughing nervously.
“Relax, Jun,” Sayumi giggled. She grabbed one of the many tubes she had brought out and squeezed a bit of the green cream on a large brush. She then attacked Junjun’s face with it, pasting the thick cream on her cheeks.
“AGH! It’s COLD!” the panda yelped out, trying to push Sayumi’s hand away.
“Stop being a baby!” the bunny yelled, holding onto her girlfriend by the shoulder. “It’ll be worth it at the end, I promise. And stop tensing up your face muscles!”
Junjun sighed and closed her eyes, trying to relax like she was told. Sayumi proceeded to brush the green substance on her girlfriend’s face, making sure not to cover her lips or her eyes.
“This is my cucumber facial pack,” the bunny explained. “After a couple minutes, it’s going to harden on your face, and then you have to wash it off by procedure.”
“Procedure?” Junjun mumbled, feeling the cream stiffen around her mouth already. “That sounds complicated… and annoying.”
“Beauty is pain,” Sayumi smiled. “After this facial, you’re going to have really smooth skin!”
“Am I going to be as cute as you?” Junjun asked sarcastically, smirking.
“Don’t ask for the impossible, Jun,” Sayumi said, pointing to her face. “This doesn’t happen overnight.”
“That’s the Usa-chan I know,” Junjun laughed, as Sayumi also followed suit.
“Okay, you’re done,” the bunny said, putting the tube and the brush down. “Now lie down comfortably and wait for the mask to harden. It works better that way.”
“You’re not doing it with me?” the panda asked, laying her head down on the fluffy pillow.
“I don’t feel like it tonight,” Sayumi shrugged. Suddenly, her eyes sparkled with a new idea. She dashed over to her desk to grab her cell phone and returned to the bed. She opened it and aimed the camera lens at her green-faced girlfriend. “Instead, I think I’ll commemorate this moment; the day Junjun gets a facial!”
“Woah, hold on a moment, stop—” Before Junjun could snatch the phone from the bunny’s hands, Sayumi quickly snapped a picture of her lover: her face fully covered with hardening cream, making her barely recognizable, with her hands extended out to somehow stop the picture from being taken to no avail.
“J-junjun… you look… so funny!” Sayumi laughed out, showing the picture to her girlfriend.
“Delete that now!” Junjun yelled, trying to get up.
“No way!” Sayumi replied back, pushing the panda back down on the bed. “This is going straight to Aika’s cell phone. And when it goes to Aika’s phone… well, you know that it can pretty much get to any student’s phone in Tokyo.”
“N-no! You can’t send that!” Junjun stuttered, panicking. “Come on, Usa-chan, I have a reputation to uphold! I’m the leader of a yankii group, damn it!”
“And send!” Sayumi giggled, pressing a button on her phone.
“… Oh, that’s it,” Junjun growled, narrowing her eyes. She quickly got up and grabbed Sayumi’s wrists to pull her down on top of her. Before the bunny could react and regain her balance, Junjun kissed the girl’s lips, smearing the facial cream on her nose and chin through direct contact. Sayumi exhaled sharply in disbelief as she pushed herself up.
“You did not just do that,” she said.
“Do you feel like getting that facial with me now?” Junjun smirked. “I’ll paste it on for you.”
She wiped off what was still soft of the cucumber cream on her face and swabbed it on Sayumi’s cheeks, receiving another short yelp from the bunny.
“Why you…!”
Sayumi held her cell phone closer up to Junjun’s face and snapped another picture. The panda quickly pinned her girlfriend’s hand down after rolling over to get on top of her. Junjun kissed her lover once more, smudging even more cream on her face, as Sayumi couldn’t help but laugh at the silliness of it all.
In the end of their little “quarrel”, both lovers eventually found themselves lying down on the bed next to each other, both with a full cucumber face mask. Sayumi found it quite hard to keep her face still because the way Junjun was talking through her teeth incoherently cracked her up every time. They ended up taking even more pictures together, after they decided that those shots would never get anywhere as they both found their green faces quite embarrassing to reveal to the public. After a couple more minutes of goofing around, Sayumi tapped Junjun to make her get up and walk to the bathroom. There, the bunny wiped off the panda’s hardened green mask with a warm moist face towel. She then instructed her to wash her face gently with a special foam cleanser. After she patted her skin dry, Sayumi put some skin lotion on her hands and rubbed it on Junjun’s face. Then, she proceeded to start wiping off her own mask with the face towel but Junjun insisted on doing it for her. After receiving that assistance, Sayumi washed her own face and had her girlfriend put the lotion on for her, just like the bunny had done to her before.
“So?” Sayumi giggled, making Junjun touch her own face. “How does your skin feel?”
“It’s alright,” the panda shrugged nonchalantly. “Not sure if facial packs are something I’d do again.”
“Oh come on, your face feels so soft right now,” Sayumi scoffed, rolling her eyes. “Your skin looks whiter as well.”
“Yours, too,” Junjun grinned. “But then again, your skin was already pretty pale.”
“Well, texture is what’s important,” Sayumi pointed out. “I like cucumber facial pack.”
“I admit, I kind of like how your skin feels right now,” Junjun smiled, stroking Sayumi’s cheek before kissing her. “Smooth as silk.”
Sayumi’s cheeks blushed pink as she smiled in embarrassment. The two lovers walked out of the bathroom and sat back down on the bed as the bunny checked the time. It was already past 9 o’clock.
“Shouldn’t we go to bed soon?” Junjun suggested, yawning. “It’s been a long day.”
“Y-yeah… we should,” Sayumi said hesitantly, wondering how she should initiate her plan. One moment, she was perfectly fine; but now that her mind was lingering on what was to happen tonight again, she felt nervous and giddy once more.
“Are we sharing a bed?” Junjun smiled, nuzzling her nose to Sayumi’s ear.
“D-do you mind?” Sayumi asked carefully.
“Hm. Not really. Your bed is big enough for the both of us.”
As her girlfriend kissed her cheek, Sayumi felt her heartbeat picking up some serious speed. In just a few moments, they would be on her bed together, expressing the feelings they have for one another…
“Go take a shower first!” the bunny yelled, pushing the panda off the bed. “I’ll take one after you, okay?”
“Um, okay,” Junjun answered, raising an eyebrow. “I’ll go do that then…”
After planting another kiss on her lover’s head, Junjun walked into the bathroom as she stretched her body. When the door clicked close, Sayumi jumped off her bed and ran to her closet. She opened it and stared at the outfit she was going to wear soon: sexy, but still cute enough to preserve what was left of her purity after spending weeks with yankiis. She blushed as she quickly shook away her own imaginations of her wearing that outfit and Junjun touching her. Slamming the closet door shut, she went to the small balcony and shut the glass doors before drawing the curtains. She made sure her room door was locked as well; they didn’t need any interruptions. Getting down on her knees, she quickly checked under her bed to make sure all the necessary items were there. Maybe Aika had picked out too much. Well, she guessed it meant Junjun got more variety to choose from…
After a couple more minutes of wandering around in her room, Junjun finally opened the bathroom door and stepped out of the steam. Sayumi looked up at the panda and quickly looked away with a gasp, realizing her girlfriend was covered only with a towel. Ignoring her reaction, the tall girl strutted over to her backpack and started to dig through it.
“Nee, I think I forgot to bring pajamas,” Junjun said casually, sighing. “Can I borrow something from you?”
“Y-yeah, one moment…”
Being careful not to meet eyes with the barely clothed panda, Sayumi swiftly made her way to the large closet and sifted through some of her clothes. She grabbed a large white button-down shirt and a pair of gray shorts which she tossed at her girlfriend. She stayed still with her back still facing Junjun until she heard her voice again.
“Don’t you have any t-shirt or something?”
Sayumi turned around, glad to see her lover finally dressed… well, half dressed. She was wearing the white linen shirt, but her long legs were still fully bare along with her blue underwear.
“I don’t wear t-shirts,” Sayumi mumbled, “and… why aren’t you wearing pants?”
“I didn’t feel like it,” Junjun shrugged, grinning. “I can just sleep like this. Unless… you mind?”
“Nope! Not at all, uh-uh, it’s fine, totally, yup,” Sayumi said quickly, her gaze flitting left and right without ever landing on her half-naked girlfriend. “I… uh… think I’m going to take a shower.”
The bunny hastily stumbled to the bathroom and shut the door. She pressed her hand against her left chest, feeling her heart practically beat out of her skin. This was turning out to be a lot more difficult than she thought it would be; it almost seemed as if Junjun really was oblivious to the whole situation at the moment, but she could just be pulling out her best acting skills for all Sayumi knows. Nothing was predictable at this point… but Sayumi knew she was not about to give up. So she quickly stripped out of her clothes and stepped into the shower stall, turning the faucet to let the warm water spray down on her. She checked all over her body for any unnecessary hair as she lathered her entire body in soap. She felt like putting that cucumber cream on her entire body, but she decided against it as she imagined herself all green and crusty.
After a quick rundown of cold water to cool down her burning cheeks, Sayumi began to dry herself and squeezed out whatever water she could from her long hair. She proceeded to brush her teeth for as long as she could without choking on the toothpaste and rinsed out with mouthwash three times. As she examined her bare body in the mirror, she could see so many little imperfections in herself: her chubby cheeks that made her face look round, her flat chest that ruined her hopes of ever having a figure… they all seemed especially accentuated tonight to her dismay.
“… Kyou mo kawaii zo…” Sayumi mumbled to herself as she casted her daily spell. “I’m cute today too… right?”
Sighing, she wrapped a towel around herself and slowly opened the bathroom door. Junjun was texting on her cell phone, leaning her back against the pillow which was propped up against the head of the bed. When she noticed her girlfriend peeking out from the bathroom, she smiled and gave a small nod.
“Hey, love.”
“Hey,” the bunny squeaked back, chewing on her lips. “Um… I’m going to change.”
“Alright.”
Sayumi quickly slithered out of the bathroom and back into her closet and shut the door behind her. Breathing heavily, she dropped her towel and felt the soft material of the little outfit she was about to put on. Sayumi still couldn’t believe she was about to wear this but at least it was kind of cute. She hoped Junjun would think so as well.
Carefully, the bunny slipped the straps off the hanger and put the top on. She pulled up the matching bottom as well, noticing how well it fit her. She finally put the headband on as the final touch along with the fuzzy pink wristbands. She stared at herself in the mirror, realizing how much skin it actually revealed. But she knew nobody else would every see her wearing something like this, except Junjun, and she was completely okay with that.
Sayumi inhaled and exhaled slowly a couple times, trying to gather up whatever courage she could manage. This was it. Tonight was the night that she was finally going to be Junjun’s and Junjun’s alone, as well as the night she would prove herself, not as the weak timid little rich girl, but as someone who can properly express her feelings. And she was willing to do the dare.
With that thought in mind, Sayumi swung the closet door open and took a couple steps out, waiting for her lover to look at her. Junjun did a double-take as she glanced over at her girlfriend, turned back to her cell phone, dropped it, and slowly looked at her girlfriend again to stare with wide eyes. Sayumi’s cheeks blushed red as she locked her fingers together behind her back, fidgeting unconsciously. There she was, standing in the quiet room, clad in pink, lacy lingerie. The top only covered her chest as the thin lacy material stretched down to her waist, the middle part wide open to reveal her belly button. The bottom part was pale pink and just as lacy, except for the small ball of fuzz at the back as a tail. On Sayumi’s head was a pair of long pink ears.
“U-usa… chan…?” Junjun mumbled, realizing how much that nickname fit her girlfriend at the moment.
“I thought you might like it,” Sayumi shrugged, shyly addressing her lover. “Um… do you?”
“I… uh… yeah, you look… um… cute,” Junjun mumbled, swallowing hard. She had not expected to witness something like this tonight. “W-why are you wearing that?”
Biting her bottom lip, Sayumi skittered over to her bed and climbed on top of it. She proceeded to quickly sit on her lover’s lap and straddle her, as Junjun was pushed up against the headboard. She blinked a couple times, still in shock at Sayumi’s daring actions as well as by her skimpy outfit. And those ears…
“I… I want to be yours, Junjun,” Sayumi said confidently, feeling her heart beat faster as well as her girlfriend’s. “I love you, and there’s no one I’d rather be with. I want to be with you like this… tonight.”
Without wasting another second, Sayumi pressed her lips against Junjun’s, kissing her slowly as if to convince her with the utmost tenderness. The panda stayed frozen for a while before responding to the kiss, more passionately than the bunny had done so. Her tongue easily entered her lover’s mouth, fully experiencing the taste inside. Her hands slipped up to Sayumi’s naked back under the lacy material, eliciting a moan from the bunny. Feeling her instincts take over, Junjun cupped Sayumi’s face and roughly pulled her in closer, kissing her with a certain desire that she could not suppress. Had she succeeded? Had Sayumi finally convinced Junjun to just take her like this?
“… No!”
Before she could silently celebrate in her mind, Sayumi suddenly felt herself being pushed away roughly off of Junjun’s lap. She looked back her girlfriend in surprise, detecting a sort of conflicting emotions on the panda’s face.
“I… I don’t want to do it,” Junjun muttered, shaking her head, “not tonight.”
“… D-did I do something wrong?” Sayumi whispered, noting the second time she had been rejected. “Did something happen? I—”
“No, nothing’s wrong,” Junjun interrupted, sighing. “I just… I’m just tired, okay?”
“But this is the second time!” Sayumi argued, taking her lover’s hand. “Junjun, you’re not acting like yourself!
“Sayumi, please, just—”
“You never call me Sayumi! Something’s wrong and I know it!”
“Nothing’s wrong, I—”
“Please, just talk to me, and I’ll try to—”
“I JUST DON’T WANT TO DO IT WITH YOU, OKAY?!”
Junjun snatched her hand away from her lover and glared down with anger. Sayumi froze in place from the unexpected words and felt herself tremble at the coldness of it. So Junjun just didn’t want her like that… she never had. Maybe she was good for kissing and to just keep around, but there wasn’t enough love to make Junjun feel an attraction towards her in that way. She had always felt that she was the special one compared to Junjun’s many other girlfriends prior to their meeting, but she was “special” in a sense that she was never even worth it…
“… I understand,” Sayumi said quietly, quickly wiping away the tears that were about to flow down her cheeks. “I… I thought too highly of myself, I… I know I’m not that desirable… I’m sorry.” I feel so stupid…
Before she could really break down and start crying, Sayumi decided to get out of Junjun’s sight. But before she could even get off the bed and set foot on the floor, Junjun grabbed her arm from behind and pulled her back to kiss her. This time, Sayumi tried to fight it off and push her girlfriend away but as always, Junjun was much too strong for her. She had no idea what was going on; first, Junjun told her that she didn’t want her and now, she was kissing her again?
“Stop!” Sayumi yelled, loud enough for Junjun to cease her attack for a minute. She clenched her teeth to hold in her emotions but her tears could not stopped from coming out. “Please… don’t kiss me like this if it doesn’t mean anything. It wouldn’t have hurt before but now that… I love you… I don’t want this.” Don’t play around…
“Listen to me, Sayumi,” Junjun said in all seriousness, gazing into her girlfriend’s eyes. “I love you. Okay? I love you. But I… won’t sleep with you.”
“Because I’m not worth it—”
“No, never! Because… because I can’t—”
“Because I was never good enough—”
“Because you’re more than that!”
Junjun took her lover’s face into her hands and cupped her cheeks gently, as though she was the most fragile flower in the world. She planted a very soft kiss on her lips as though she had only kissed air, and gazed back into Sayumi’s confused eyes with so much warmth.
“Because you’re not some girl that I get to sleep with,” Junjun whispered in all earnestness. “Because you’re Michishige Sayumi, and I’ve never been in love so much like this before. Because I can’t bear to lose you…”
“You’re not going to lose me, I’m not going anywhere,” Sayumi murmured back, also touching her lover’s cheek.
“But I might,” Junjun sighed shakily, fear taking over her eyes. “Whenever I… find someone, and I sleep with her, I lose interest the next morning no matter how infatuated I was with her the day before. You see, Sayumi, I’m not a good person at all. I’m a terrible person who can only end up hurting the people I love. And I don’t want to leave you, ever. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I don’t want to lose you, you’re so much more than that.”
“… But don’t you see?” Sayumi said softly, smiling a little. “If you treasure me that much, you won’t leave. I trust you. And even if you try to go away, I’ll pull you right back.”
“… That’s not a risk I’m willing to take,” Junjun said, laughing dryly. “And no offense, Sayumi, but you can barely run without tripping over yourself; I don’t think you have the strength to hold me back.”
“Then just don’t go,” Sayumi shrugged. “I love you… and I believe you when you tell me you love me too. That should be enough for both of us to take this next step. Besides… it would be sad to let this go to waste.” She pointed at the bunny ears on her head as she smiled shyly, allowing the panda to laugh softly.
“… Promise you’ll tell me immediately if I hurt you?” Junjun asked.
“Promise,” Sayumi grinned.
Wrapping her arms around the bunny’s waist, Junjun pulled her in closer to meet her lips against, inserting her tongue into the familiar mouth that let out soft moans at her touch. They fell back on the bed together and Junjun rolled over to pin her prey down. Feeling a sense of triumph at her victory, Sayumi eagerly kissed her lover, knowing that Linlin was right when she said it was going to be “one hell of a night”… in the best way possible.

Time to go write up that... special chapter. :twisted:
By the way, i got my nails off so now I can type faster than ever :twothumbs

Be that as it may, special chapter coming soon, prepare fans :on_hot:

And then a totally different chapter.. (68)
It was definitely getting hot in here, and I love Jun's reason for not "doing it" with Sayu. That's like the sweetest thing. :inlove: She couldn't trust herself about whether she might lose interest in Sayu after sleeping with her. :roll: I love this couple. :wub:
-
I KNEW IT!

I don't wanna know what kind of things Sayu bought XD but It's gonna be a hell of a night!!!
Special Chapter HELLZ YEAH!!!
-
Aww I knew there was something that was bothering Jun about the whole thing, it sweet to think that she loves Sayu that much that she didn't want to sleep with her because she is afraid that she will lose interest, maybe perhpas it's also partly Jun showing a bit of fear, a player finding the perfect partner or the 'one' and almost fearing themselves that they will not be true to the girl they really love.....
Why do I feel though that something may well go wrong betwenn these two though...... :panic:
-
OMG! Sayu in pink lingerie with bunny headband?!

Aaand... Another 'special' chapter coming! Didn't thought it will be this fast XD

I'm actually writing the next ShigeJun .5 chapter simultaneously with the chapter after that... so i don't know which one is going to be out next :sweatdrop:
But either way, the story still connects, so it's totally okay :D
-
When I read that Jun didn't "want" Sayumi, I was thinking to myself, "MAN! We have to wait for SOOOOOO long before we get to the special scene :smhid." That was before I read the last few lines, of course, which revealed that they were going to proceed under caution. XD It's really sweet of Jun to think that she shouldn't do this because she didn't want to lose Sayumi. I had something like that in mind, along with the guess that maybe Sayumi is innocent in Jun's eyes so she didn't want to ruin it. Either way, I hope things work out with them. I love reading JunShige now because it gives a break from the angst of Tanakamei and Takagaki. :nervous
-
Crap, I missed chapters :banghead: Anyways, please let Reina's father stay alive! Otherwise the kitten will get hurt :cry:

Awesome chapter~~~~ It totally lived up to my-and I'm sure everyone else's-expectations. :twothumbs I'm so glad that Junjun realized she love Sayumi more after this fruitful event. Woot~ one couple is now living happily ever after. XD Now all we need is Ai to loosen up and accept that age-gap and Reina's dad to get better so Tanakamei can be happy. :lol:
Oh why can't I read the Pervers! T.T :catglare:
It's because you don't have enough posts on the forum. It's the same thing though, just that SarangAi opened a blog for people who don't have enough posts.

Chapter 69
“… Kame, if you’re not going to drink that, just throw it away.”
Risa wrinkled her eyebrows as she stared at her friend standing beside her, sighing as though all hope was lost in the world. The two girls were standing in the hallway where students were in their own little cliques, chatting and gossiping before classes started. Eri was leaning her back against the closed window, staring at the strawberry milk in her hand while pushing the straw in and out, expressing her disintrest in actually drinking it. Risa was hunched over the windowsill, balancing her face on her hands while staring outside at her fellow peers entering the building.
“But there so much left…” Eri mumbled, pouting. “It’d be a waste to throw it away…”
“I don’t know why you opened it anyway, seeing as you only took two sips from it,” Risa said, rolling her eyes. “Give it. I’ll finish it.”
“Douzo,” Eri sighed, handing the milk box off to her friend. “And for the record, I took three sips.”
“Oh wow, that’s a lot,” the bean said sarcastically, taking a big sip of the strawberry milk. “Come on, spill it. What’s on your mind? Even though I can pretty much guess anywy.”
“… Reina.”
“Figured.”
“… And her dad.”
“Given.”
“Risa-chan, I’m starting to get really worried!” Eri confessed, turning to properly face her friend. “I mean, I was worried before but now that feeling has doubled and tripled and—”
“Relax, Kame, breathe!” the bean comforted. “I thought the surgery for Tanakacchi’s dad went well? He’ll be fine.”
“Yeah, but he’s been unconscious even after they said the operation went well…” Eri mumbled. “They’re feeding him through tubes, Risa-chan, they wouldn’t have had to do that if he really was perfectly fine.”
“Well of course, it’ll take time for him to recover,” Risa said softly. “He had lung cancer, for goodness sake. We should be thankful that we weren’t too late in catching the tumor.”
“I guess…” Eri mumbled. “But… I guess Reina doesn’t think he’ll be okay…”
“How is she?”
“Even worse than her father, in a way,” Eri muttered, biting down on her bottom lip. “She won’t go to school, won’t go home, won’t even leave the hospital. She stays right by her father’s side, 24/7. Even after everything he did to her… she still knows he’s the only family she has left.”
“It’s good to stay by her father’s side during this time, I guess,” Risa said thoughtfully. “But it’s not very healthy to stay in a hospital room all the time…”
“Of course it’s not, she’s completely burned out,” Eri said shakily, remembering the hunched form of her small girlfriend, sitting on a stool by her father’s bed. “I doubt she’s even sleeping.”
“You have to get her out of there, Kameha,” Risa insisted. “She’s going to get sick before she can help nurse her father.”
“I’m trying, but she won’t listen!” Eri said in a loud whisper, not wanting to be heard by anyone else. “I’m just… praying that her father wakes up soon so that Reina can finally get some rest. But the thing is…”
“… What?”
“… I don’t know if I really want Reina’s dad to wake up,” Eri murmured under her breath.
“Eri, how could you say that?!” Risa scolded.
“I know, I’m terrible!” Eri yelled back, her face distorted with guilt and misery. “But that’s how I honestly feel. Because when Reina’s dad wakes up… what if he still wants to take her back to Fukuoka? What if Reina really leaves? I’m scared, Risa-chan, and I don’t know what I’d do without her!”
“Oh, Eri… come here.” Putting her milk box down on the window ledge, Risa opened her arms to invite her friend in for a hug. Eri immediately took up on the offer and squeezed her friend tightly, feeling the bean’s hands tapping her back gently in an effort to comfort her. “Look… things always happen for a reason. Even if one bad thing happens, there’s always a positive end to it to balance it out. And I’m sure that whatever happens in the future, everything will work out for both you and Reina. Okay?”
“… Thanks, Risa-chan,” Eri sniffed, stepping back a little to smile at her friend. “You always know what to say.”
“I do always know what to say,” Risa agreed, grinning. She turned back to the window and took a drink of the milk. “So… different subject now?”
“Yeah, different subject,” Eri nodded, quickly leaving her sad thoughts behind. “Let’s see… How’s it going between you and… you-know-who?”
“Same old, I guess,” Risa shrugged. “We get along… but I can’t help but think that she really babies me too much. We’re not that far apart in age, right?”
“… Yeah… six years… that’s not much…” Eri said slowly, eyeing her friend who just glowered back at her.
“… Okay, fine, maybe it is a lot to some,” Risa groaned. “But I think I have a mature enough mentality that makes up for some of those years! And honestly… I don’t think I’m too young to be… you know… sleeping with her.” The last part of the sentence was said in a soft whisper that was barely audiable, that Eri wouldn’t have been able to hear it if she hadn’t leaned down right down to her friend’s face.
“You two haven’t… done it yet?” Eri murmured, surprised. “I mean… I would’ve figured that you and you-know-who would’ve already hit it up… since you guys are both older… age-wise and mentality-wise.”
“I know, right?” Risa huffed. “I don’t know, maybe she’s trying to protect me or whatever… it can’t hurt that much, can it?”
“Oh, yes it can…”
The bean whipped around to stare at her turtle friend with wide eyes, stricken with shock. “… Wait, what?”
“… It does hurt… at first…” Eri mumbled, blushing slightly.
The turtle watched her friend intently, wondering how she was going to react next. The bean just continued to stare at Eri with a blank expression. Obviously, Risa hadn’t thought that Eri would beat her to it and get laid first. Little, boyish, careless, aho Eri had become an adult before her, the mature, class representative who happened to be going out with a legally-adult teacher. Eri actually had…
“OH MY GOSH YOU TWO ACTUALLY HAD SE—”
“RISA-CHAN!”
Eri quickly jumped on her friend and clamped her hands over her mouth before Risa could scream out the taboo word. The turtle let out a sigh of relief as her cheeks quickly turned red from the embarrassment, while Risa was still screaming out words that were muffled under Eri’s hands. After a couple moments, Risa finally calmed down and silenced herself; she tried to pry her friend’s hands off of her mouth.
“Are you done announcing to the world about my private affairs?” Eri shot.
Risa nodded quickly and held out a pinky finger in promise. Eri hooked her own pinky around and shook on the pledge before dropping her hands. The bean exhaled sharply to catch up on the much needed oxygen before turning her wide eyes to her friend again.
“… No way,” she said, quietly this time as she had absolutely no desire to be cut off from her air supply again. “You two actually… sealed the deal?”
“Yup.”
“When did this happen?”
“The night before Reina’s dad came to Tokyo.”
“… Wow.”
Risa turned back to the windowsill and fumbled with the drink in her hand. This time, she was the one playing around with the straw absentmindedly as her fingers nervously twiddled around the milk box. She felt incredibly behind now, and it was quite unpleasant. Yes, she had decided to respect her older lover’s decision to wait a little longer, but even Eri had gotten her first time over with. So now, it just seemed plain ridiculous to wait. Rather, she thought it was pretty ridiculous before, but now she had absolutely no desire to remain patient. If Reina, who couldn’t even stand to be with her lover when she first found out she was a girl, can manage to sleep with Eri, than Risa definitely believed that this should be a no-brainer for her and Ai. But she had still promised her teacher not to do anything…
“… What are you thinking?” Eri asked slowly, after examining Risa’s face change quickly into various expressions like a slide show.
“I’m thinking… self-control,” Risa said determinedly, nodding. “I’m thinking I won’t let this get to me! Things are going so well; I’m thinking I won’t let anything ruin it!”

-
Poor Eri, worried about Reina and her father, Perhaps thinking about Reina's father dying is a bit to much but I suppose it shows how much she loves Reina, hmmm seems as though Gaki is a little jealous of the turtle though
“I’m thinking… self-control,” Risa said determinedly, nodding. “I’m thinking I won’t let this get to me! Things are going so well; I’m thinking I won’t let anything ruin it!”
Oh dear Gaki, I think perhpas you may already doing so.......
-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 70
Takahashi-sensei idly stabbed her chopsticks through a piece of apple to bite off half of it and chewed slowly. After nearly half and hour, it had become almost habitual for the teacher to just nod along to everything her girlfriend was blabbering about. Lunch period was almost over, yet she was still talking about things that barely interested the older woman. Okay, maybe not barely, but there were certainly many other topics that would’ve caught Ai’s attention more. Considering that they rarely got some alone time together on the rooftop these days amidst the hectic preparations for the school festival, Ai couldn’t help but think that they were completely wasting time by just chatting about things that didn’t really apply to them.
“And you know, Kame is really worried, Sensei,” Risa was babbling, “and because Tanakacchi isn’t even moving from her seat in the hospital, Kame is getting distracted from her life too.”
“How unfortunate,” Ai sympathized. “But I’m sure everything will be fine, Kamei-san and Tanaka-san can work things out on their own—”
“And because Eri has to be there for Tanakacchi,” Risa quickly interrupted, as though she hadn’t even realized Ai was talking, “she keeps on missing play practice after school and during free periods, which makes Nakki take out her frustration on me. How unfair is that? I mean, I understand both Kame and Nakki’s position though, so I’m not even sure what to do.”
“I can see your point, Gaki-san,” the teacher tried again, “but I think that—”
“And it’s actually not very fair to the rest of the cast either, you know?” Risa continued without even taking a breath. “Everybody else is actually all memorized and stuff, but Eri isn’t. That really sucks, you know? And—HA?”
In a split second, Risa felt a pair of chopsticks shoving a grape tomato into her mouth. When she shut up for just long enough to turn and look at her teacher with a puzzled expression, she found her lips being captured by a familiar softness, kissing her slowly and gently.
“As interesting as all your words are, my love,” Ai murmured, “I’d much rather talk about other things.”
“Other things… like what?” Risa mumbled, her eyes nervously shifting left and right to avoid direct eye contact with the older woman.
“You know… like, us.” Ai chuckled as she sat back to lean against the fence again. “Talk about things that apply to you and me, things that we can learn from each other.”
Risa grumbled something under her breath as she stared down at her bento box. There was exactly half of everything left, from the rolls to the apples to the salad… right down to the number of sliced cucumbers. Obviously, her lover had taken care to eat nothing more than her portion while the bean was off prattling about random things. And she had had plenty of time to count how many of each there were while listening to Risa’s endless rambles.
At least this meant that Risa’s plan was working for a while. She had intended to talk non-stop throughout this lunch period to distract herself from thinking about her friend’s… “maturation”. Ever since Eri told her that morning of her becoming an adult with her dear Reina, Risa couldn’t stop thinking about how to carry out the deed with her own lover a little sooner. But she knew that she had promised Ai that she wouldn’t try anything, and that had brought forth a little self-conflicts within the bean. But now that Ai was directly requesting for her to talk about their relationship…
“You want me to talk about us?” Risa said determinedly. “I’ll talk about us. I have a question for you.”
“Go ahead,” the teacher grinned, pleased by how resolute her girlfriend sounded.
“Sensei,” Risa started, sending an unwavering gaze to her lover as though she was about to shoot lightening through her eyes, “what turns you on?”
“Oh, come on, Gaki-san!” Ai groaned, rolling her eyes. “Is this seriously the direction we’re going to take this thing? I mean, every single time—”
“Well, I’m not physically attacking you or anything!” Risa argued. “I’m not breaking any rules here. You never made me promise not to ask you questions in preparation for our… event.”
“… Sometimes I wonder why Gaki-san can’t just remain young and clueless like most other teenage girls…” Ai muttered, sighing in defeat. “Alright, just ask away.”
“What turns you on, Sensei?” Risa repeated, feeling even more encouraged by Ai’s tired expression.
“… To be quite honest with you, I’m not sure how to answer that,” Ai admitted, her eyebrows wrinkling to visibly show her brainstorming. “I don’t have any special… preferences… when it comes to such things…”
“There has to be something,” Risa insisted. “Think back! What made you happy when you… you know.”
Risa slightly blushed but kept her gaze firm to show that she wasn’t going to back down. Part of her was already regretting asking her teacher this question, but she couldn’t have helped it. The way Ai had kissed her before made her completely lose her focus. And the only that she could think of now was her turtle friend’s voice, echoing, it does hurt at first… hurt at first…at first… first… first…
“Well…” Ai thought out loud, breaking Risa out of her little flashback, “there was this one time, this girl—no, that wasn’t that good… Oh, but there was another time this guy, he—nah, that didn’t end too well either…”
“… Sensei, if you’re trying to make me more depressed than I already am, you’re succeeding.”
“Huh?”
Takahashi-sensei turned her head towards her student, who was pouting with her arms crossed. The bean’s gloom was visibly displayed in her frown, but that only made Ai chuckle at how immature she looked. When the teacher tried to put her arms around her, Risa shrugged her hands off. But as Ai continued to attempt to embrace her, Risa had no choice but to stop squirming and just let herself be hugged. Laughing to herself, Ai pulled her girlfriend towards her until she ended up on her lap in a perfect cuddle-position.
“Hey, I don’t want to upset you, okay?” Ai said softly, kissing the top of Risa’s head. “And I’m sorry if I did. I sincerely apologize. But I am answering your question honestly; I really don’t have a special… thing… that turns me on or whatever. I’ve just never thought about it before. But I’ll have you know that when our time comes, such a trivial matter will be the least of my concerns. The most essential thing for me will be that it’s you I’m making love to, and nobody else. And I hope that you feel the same way.”
“… I do…” Risa mumbled, feeling her cheeks get hotter by how her teacher said, “making love”.
“Then we’re on the same page,” Ai smiled, squeezing her girlfriend. “Feeling better?”
“A little,” Risa shrugged, imagining the echo of Eri’s voice getting further away. “We should clean up the bentou…” But when the bean tried to push herself off of the older woman, Ai only constricted her arms around Risa tighter, reluctant to let go.
“Let’s stay like this for a while,” Ai suggested, rocking her girlfriend back and forth. “You’re so cute right now, like a big baby.”
“Mou, Sensei!” Risa complained, trying to squirm her way out of Ai’s embrace again. “I’m not a baby so don’t treat me like one!”
“Yeah, I suppose I shouldn’t,” Ai grinned, “because if you were really a baby, I wouldn’t be able to do this…”
Twisting her neck an angle to properly make eye contact with her young lover, Ai leaned in to kiss that familiar softness, using her tongue to trace the outline of Risa’s lips. Moaning softly so that only Ai could hear, the young girl responded eagerly to the kiss as she wrapped her arms around the teacher’s neck.
“Mm… you’re so good at this now…” Ai mumbled against her girlfriend’s lips. “But I hope I’ll be the only one to know just how sweet your kisses are…”
“Don’t worry, you are,” Risa whispered before taking charge in capturing her lover’s lips again.
“Then I hope you won’t mind me watching your play rehearsal after school today?” Ai murmured, kissing Risa’s neck before going back to her lips.
“… You really can’t trust me and Kame?” Risa groaned.
“It’s not a matter of trust; I’m just curious,” Ai smiled innocently, which didn’t convince the bean too much.
“… Are you going to behave?” Risa asked, raising an eyebrow. “No jealous rage like before?”
“First of all, I wouldn’t even call my previous action a ‘rage’,” Ai smirked. “I could definitely get angrier than that… And second of all, yes, I will be a perfect lady while watching my students practice.”
** ** **
The black-haired girl quickly glided down the hallway, tossing an apple into the air and catching it. She was indeed walking, but the speed that she was going at told otherwise, since she was in quite a happy mood. Sayumi couldn’t stop putting that slight spring into her steps as she made her way through the school, a bright red apple from the lunchroom in hand.
She had continued to daydream during class non-stop about the glory that was her previous night with her true love right beside her. She had gotten caught spacing out by the teacher a couple times but she didn’t care; nothing could ruin the happy mood she was in today. Junjun and she had finally become one, in a sense that they were really bound to each other by endless love. Sayumi herself had never realized before that she was such a romantic, but she supposed that quality was only drawn out because of Junjun.
Smiling down at her apple, the bunny rubbed the fruit as if to make it clean enough to see her own reflection. Satisfied by the squeaky noises it made, she opened her mouth to take a bite out of it. But just as her teeth made the slightest graze on the apple skin, Sayumi felt somebody putting an arm around her shoulder to weigh her down. Actually, it was two somebody’s.
“You seem happy today, Shige-san~” Linlin grinned from the bunny’s left, patting her shoulder.
“Did you sleep well last night?” Aika snickered from Sayumi’s right. “Or rather, did you hardly sleep?”
“Mou, you guys!” Sayumi whined, blushing as bright as the apple in her hand. “Don’t talk like that…”
“Come on, tell us all the dirty details!” Linlin encouraged. “Well, not all the details but just enough for us to know how it went, you know?”
“Just give us a summary,” Aika chimed in. “Don’t go too much into the main plot.”
“… I… I mean… I don’t know!” Sayumi dropped her head to stare at her feet, so embarassed that she could barely answer. She was happy imagining and remembering in her own mind, but saying it out loud… that was a whole different ball game.
“Come on, Shige-san!” Linlin groaned. “Did Jun-senpai like it? The bunny costume? Our gifts?”
“We have to know how it ended up for our client,” Aika urged. “So tell us, how was it?”
“… I-it… It was…”
“A wonderful night, thanks to you two not being there,” Junjun cut in, as though she had appeared out of no where. Before the three girls could even turn around, Aika and Linlin felt themselves being pulled back by their collars to stand on either side of their leader. They both laughed nervously as they swallowed hard in fear of Junjun’s tight smile.
“Junjun!” Sayumi remarked, forever grateful for her timing on her entrance.
“S-senpai,” Aika chuckled anxiously. “We were, uh… just, um… greeting Shige-san!”
“Mm-hm,” Junjun raised an eyebrow, already knowing what had really happened. “Let me ask you two a question… since when am I into cosplay?”
“Well… you’re not,” Linlin mumbled.
“Yeah, you’re not,” Aika admitted quickly, “but we just thought that maybe—”
“So why would you tell Sayumi here that she should wear such a skimpy outfit as the one you gave her?” Junjun questioned again, smiling.
“We… uh, thought—”
“Well, you thought wrong,” Junjun interrupted again. She pushed her two underlings against each other to make them stand shoulder-by-shoulder so she could address both of them together. “If you don’t want to get hurt, you’ll get out of my sight and stay out of my sight for the rest of the day, understood?”
Aika and Linlin quickly looked at each other and looked at their yankii leader again. They quickly nodded after swallowing in fear, and ran off to their classroom. Sayumi gave a small wave towards them as they scattered, before taking a step towards her girlfriend.
“Weren’t you a little harsh on them?” she asked. “They were just trying to help.”
“Don’t worry, I would never actually hurt them,” Junjun grinned,” and they know that too. We’re so close that even if I say something like that, they’ll probably show up again by tonight.”
Then, the panda grabbed her girlfriend’s wrist and brought up the apple in her hand up to her mouth until she could take a bite out of the juicy fruit. Nodding in satisfaction at the sweet flavor, Junjun put her arms around Sayumi and started to walk her down the hallway.
“And I hadn’t even tasted it yet…” Sayumi mumbled, staring at the bite mark in her apple.
“Think of it as me taste-testing it for you,” Junjun grinned. “Now you know it tastes good. It’s safe~”
“Alright then,” Sayumi giggled, taking a small bite of the fruit. “How as your day been.”
“… Honestly, terrible,” the yankii sighed, scratching her head.
“Why?”
“I got yelled by the teacher every single period,” Junjun shrugged. “I usually at least pretend to listen, but today I was completely zoned out. My head had no room for school today; it was filled with other thoughts.”
“Thoughts… of what?”
“Of you, what else?” the panda laughed, allowing Sayumi’s cheeks to turn pink with joy. “Man, I’ve never obsessed over a girl like this before, seriously… you’re going to be the death of me one day.”
“No I won’t,” Sayumi argued. “Unless you die of happiness… then I’ll do my best to be your cause of death.”
“I think today might be a good day for dying,” Junjun winked. “Dinner at my house? Maybe… a sleepover?”
“Straightforward, aren’t you,” Sayumi mumbled shyly, biting her apple again.
“That wasn’t straightforward,” Junjun scoffed. “You know, I could’ve just said—”
“I don’t need you to say it!” Sayumi interrupted with a smile, putting a finger to her girlfriend’s lips. “Dinner sounds lovely. And… maybe a sleepover.”
“It’s a date,” Junjun grinned. “I’ll make you udon.”
“Yatta!” Sayumi exclaimed, her eyes lighting up. “I’ll look forward to it then!”
Junjun laughed at her girlfriend’s cute reaction as they continued to walk back to their classrooms. Just being together made the world seem so much brighter and perfect that neither of the lovers planned to let go of these moments any time soon.

Here's the next chapter!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 71
Eri shifted her eyes towards every direction except directly in front of her to avoid the death glare from her director. Her fingers were nervously tapping on her knees as her feet mimicked the same action on the floor. You could seriously hear a pin fall in the classroom as nobody even dared to break the silence that was brought by their play director. Eri glanced at her bean friend who was nervously looking back and forth between the hunter and the prey, the prey being the turtle. Her position was quite calm but the look on her face told Eri that she was getting ready to jump in as soon as she got the impression that there might be turtle soup boiling tonight. That was her specialty afterall.
Eri quickly glanced at the person in front of her again and looked away. Damn it, she was really glaring. She had never seen Nakajima Saki so mad before. And she could tell the rest of the students thought so as well since they remained just as still and silent. Even the guys who would usually crack jokes to get over the awkward moments held their tongues.
The turtle managed to catch her Saki’s gaze again through the slight and unintentional flutter of her eyes. Wow, her leering was actually starting to make Risa’s angry expression look tame. Starting, but not succeeding. Still, it was quite up to par with the bean’s attitude when she was in rage, and that was saying a lot. And Eri could really understand why. Afterall, she had missed play rehearsal for quite a number of consecutive days to attend to “other business”, putting her class’s chance of winning that free karaoke party at risk. In fact, Eri was absolutely sure that the rest of her class was just as mad as Nakki. But it helped that the only person who knew of that “other business” and understood her dilemma was Risa, who was quite skilled in toning the rage down significantly within other students. And it seemed that what was left of that anger was completely dissolved now as Eri’s classmates watched the turtle being roasted alive by the director. Fury had turned into sympathetic pity.
“Well?” Saki growled angrily, snapping Eri back into reality.
“… Well…?” Eri repeated nervously with a shaky smile, bracing for what was to come.
“What do you have to say for yourself?” Nakki yelled, leaning in until her face was only inches apart from Eri’s.
“Well… I…”
“The least you can say is sorry!” Nakki roared.
“I’m… sorry?”
“Is that all you can say, ‘sorry’?” the director huffed. “Kamei-chan, I’m horrified!”
“Look, I really am sorry, Nakki,” Eri said earnestly, “and to everyone else too. I apologize. You know what? I promise to all of you that today, I will definitely stay for the entire rehearsal.”
“Well, you’d better!” Saki said matter-of-factly. “Or else I would’ve taken that spinning wheel that’s supposed to kill the princess and just—”
“Okay! Good to see that we’re all getting along again!” Risa quickly cut in, not wanting to hear the end of Saki’s warning. “Let’s get to work, people! There’s not much time left before the school festival!”
“Mind if I cut in?”
The sound of wind being cut resonated as all the heads in the room turned to face their surprise visitor standing at the door. The young teacher gave a tiny wave and smiled at her students, throwing in a small chuckle as well.
“Takahashi-sensei!” One of the boys exclaimed happily as the rest of the guys grinned as well. Eri could practically see little wolf tails on all of them, wagging away crazily. “What are you doing here?”
“I thought I might stay after a little and watch how the rehearsals are going for my homeroom,” Ai explained. “A couple of other teachers and I had a bet on whose class would win the karaoke party, you see. No pressure on any of you, of course.”
“Don’t worry, Sensei,” Chinami nodded determinedly. “We know we’ll win this thing!”
“Definitely!” Yurina agreed. “That is, if we can get that last scene right…”
A small silence followed as all eyes shifted towards the troublesome prince and princess at the front of the room. Eri shrugged with an apologetic look on her face. Risa just nervously blinked at her secret lover, who seemed perfectly in character as the responsible teacher.
“I’m sure things will work out,” Ai encouraged. “Everyone’s been working so hard; please continue to do your best!”
“We will, Sensei!” The boys answered in unison with huge smiles as Eri thought to herself that she could’ve sworn she just saw little wolf ears pop out of all the boys’ heads.
“Well then, Director-san,” Ai bowed a little at one of her frustrated students, “I hope you don’t mind me sitting in for this rehearsal.”
“Of course not, Sensei,” Nakki smiled. “Pull up a chair and feel free to observe.”
Eri raised an eyebrow as she saw a tiny wolf-like tail also grow out of Nakki. Not as noticeable as the boys, but it was there. And her director suddenly seemed considerably happier after Ai spoke with her. It seemed that Takahashi-sensei was having quite the effect on girls as she did on the boys. Not that she could blame any of her peers; Takahashi-sensei was just perfect. So perfect, that she was good enough to suit Risa’s selective taste that was very hard to please.
“This is the first time I can understand why you fell for her,” Eri whispered to her friend, gently elbowing her side. “Takahashi-sensei really is ideal, isn’t she?”
“Don’t go falling for her, Kameha,” the bean warned. “I’d hate to see you get as annoying as the rest of them in this classroom… fawning over her like that…”
“So you see the ears and tails too?” Eri gasped, smiling. “So I’m not crazy?”
“… What are you talking about?” Risa asked slowly, turning her head to show her confused expression to the turtle.
“… Nevermind,” Eri sighed. “Just my overactive imagination, I guess…”
“Okay, let’s get this rehearsal started!” Nakki yelled, pressing her mouth against a rolled-up script to use it as a megaphone. “Run it from the beginning of this scene!”
Eri, Makoto, and Asami quickly arranged a couple of chairs in a row to act as a bed for the princess. When Saki signaled to start, Eri quickly lied down on top of the chairs and closed her eyes to make believe she was in a deep slumber. Risa came marching forward from the side and stopped before the turtle’s chair-bed.
“Here is the beautiful princess I’ve heard of,” the bean read, making her voice a little deeper, “still deep in slumber.” Risa knelt beside Eri’s body and stared at her friend’s face. “But how do I wake her…?”
Trying to ignore the burning stares at her from everyone in the room, Risa lifted her hands to gently stroke Eri’s cheek, following the script. Swallowing hard, she then proceeded to slowly lean in closer to the turtle’s face, their lips only inches apart.
“Any spell… can be broken with a true love’s kiss… My princess…”
“CUT!”
The bean fell backwards, shocked from the loud voice ordering her to stop. But she was confused to find that the voice did not come from the usual person who called her out. Eri sat up and blinked a couple times, also bewildered at the new interruption.
“Sensei?” she guessed.
“Sensei!” a couple of the students said, surprised.
“Sensei?!” Nakki yelled, confused.
“What is she doing…?” Risa mumbled under her breath, chewing on her lips.
“I’m so sorry for stopping you, Gaki-san,” Ai apologized, bringing out her most sincere expression. “But… I couldn’t help but feel that you didn’t deliver the right emotion for those lines.”
“… Deliver?” Risa exhaled sharply in disbelief.
“Yes, I just felt that there was something missing,” Ai shrugged innocently. “But what do I know, maybe it’s just me. But that was just my opinion… What did you think, Nakajima-san?”
“Well… I can see Sensei’s point,” Saki nodded. “All this time, that’s how Iinchou’s being performing all along so I just let it go but… I can see why the delivery is a bit lacking. Try to put more emotion into it, Gaki-san!”
“… Oh, I’ll give you emotion, alright…” Risa muttered, forcing a tight smile. “I’m sorry. I’ll try that again.”
Eri lied down on the chairs again and whispered in a low voice so that only her friend could hear. “Is Takahashi-sensei mad?”
“Oh yeah, she’s mad,” Risa grumbled back. “Mad with jealousy and immature foolishness, that is.” She’s seriously going to use this kind of childish method? What kind of joke is this? Please stop before you take it too far…
“Take it from the top!” Nakki yelled through her paper megaphone. “Ready? And… action!”
Risa marched in fromt the side again, putting a bit more manliness into each step. “Here is the beautiful princess I’ve heard of, still deep in slumber.” The bean looked upon her friend with loving eyes, imagining that it was the face of her own girlfriend. She slowly knelt down and further gazed into Eri’s sleeping face. “But how do I wake her…?” She gently lifted her hands to stroke her friend’s cheeks but this time, she even ran her fingers across her lips as well. Eri’s lips trembled a little as her expression scrunched up for the slightest second in confusion. Risa understood that perhaps she was overdoing it a little bit with the acting, but she knew that it would definitely have an effect on her teacher. Although she felt that her actions went against her own philosophy, part of the bean wanted to act in an immature way just like Ai was. She wanted to give her a taste of her own medicine.
“Any spell can be broken… with a true love’s kiss, my—”
“CUT.”
Risa’s body jerked backwards as she let out a frustrated sigh. She had seen this coming but she didn’t realize that her lover would be so quick to stop her, and forceful enough to cut off her line. While Risa whipped around to glare at her teacher, Eri merely turned her head sideways to face her director, since she was too lazy to get up. Ai’s lips were curved up into a tight smile as her eyes blazed with fiery anger.
“Did I not deliver enough emotion, Sensei?” Risa asked with the slightest hint of sarcasm.
“Oh no, Gaki-san, you had lots of emotion there,” Ai said innocently. “Rather, you had too much emotion. I think toning it down just a little bit might help. Don’t you agree, Nakajima-san?”
“I completely agree, Sensei,” Nakki nodded assertively.
“… Fine,” Risa said, forcing a smile. “I’ll run it again.”
“Is it just me,” Eri whispered under her breath, “or is there some sort of war going on between you and Sensei?”
“I can’t help but think that you chose the wrong moment to snap out of your aho self, Kame,” Risa grumbled, rolling her eyes.
“Nobody else is noticing because they don’t know the true relationship between you two,” Eri explained. “But seriously, I have to get this rehearsal over with and leave; Reina’s waiting for me. I can’t afford to get cuts every single time we try to do this scene.”
“Tell that to Sensei,” Risa muttered, “because I’m not backing down. Let’s see who wins this fight…”
And so, for the next hour, the entire class spent the time watching the same scene replay over and over again at the front of the room. Whenever Risa’s face got close enough to Eri’s to make one believe that they were really going to kiss and get this rehearsal over with, the same voice would yell out to stop them. As the clock ticked on, Risa got more and more exhausted, trying to act calmly and maturely through practice. However, her weariness made her lose focus which only gave Ai more excuses to cut the scene. And the teacher sounded so intelligent and assertive in pointing out the flaws in Risa’s acting, that Nakki would end up being convinced by her words as well. Time passed on mercilessly, with no progress being made whatsoever.
“… My princess—”
“Cut. You sounded a bit too bland there, Gaki-san.”
Sensing her anger boiling up to her head to finally explode, Risa gritted her teeth to cool off just enough to prevent herself from going berserk. Eri looked at her friend with a worried look, as though she knew perfectly well of what was to come. The bean whipped around to glare at her teacher, who stared back with a blank face.
“Sensei, it’s already been over an hour since our rehearsal started,” Risa said through her teeth, failing in hiding her obvious frustration. “We won’t get anywhere if you keep calling out my acting skills.”
“But Gaki-san, this scene needs to be absolutely perfect,” Ai sighed, shrugging. “Don’t you agree, Nakajima-san?”
“I do agree…” Saki said hesitantly, “but I’m starting to think this is getting a bit long too… I kind of wanted to run the entire play today…”
“See, Sensei, everybody’s sitting here just watching and doing nothing,” Risa said, squaring her shoulders as she gained some encouragement from Nakki’s words. “We should get this over with and move on.” Seriously, just get over it…
“… Well, I was just trying to help,” Ai said quietly, immediately gaining the sympathy of most students. “I’m sorry if I caused trouble, minna.”
“That’s okay, Sensei!” Asami said, smiling. “We don’t need that much practice anyway; things will work out.”
“Yeah, definitely,” Makoto agreed. “After this scene, our play might as well be perfect.”
“Maybe the problem with this scene is that Iinchou and Kame-chan are such good friends,” Saki thought out loud. “They can’t see each other as lovers. Iinchou, do you have a lover?”
“EH?!”
Before Risa could even have a chance to answer the touchy question, Eri quickly cut in as she feared that her bean friend may flop. “Of course she doesn’t! Risa-chan has never had a lover before! I mean, seriously, who would want a stingy uptight iinchou as their girlfriend, right? Am I right? Ha-ha…”
“… Gee, thanks, Kameha,” Risa muttered, glowering at the turtle. “But… what she said… I don’t… have… a lover…”
“Maybe that’s the problem, then,” Ai said, smiling mischievously. “Gaki-san just isn’t experienced enough in this area. You see, this scene would be a piece of cake if you are more aware of this sort of thing… like me. I am older, afterall.”
“… Even if I did have a lover—which I don’t—I don’t think I would want a sharp strict teacher like you, Sensei,” Risa shot back, going on offensive.
“Well, I don’t think I would want someone like you either!” Ai retorted back. “Trying to be a big adult when you’re truly just a bratty kid on the inside… a kid who can’t even do a simple kiss scene right!” Risa glared at her teacher as she marched forward to face her properly.
“I would be able to do it right if you would stop cutting the scene!”
“I’m cutting the scene because you’re not doing it right!”
“Then why don’t YOU do the scene since you’re SO experienced and PERFECT?!”
“Maybe I WILL!”
Suddenly, Ai turned to the girl beside her and lifted her chin up. As she cupped Saki’s cheek, she pressed her thumb against her lips and kissed the tip of her own fingers, barely avoiding the student’s lips. Eri gasped softly as the rest of her classmates froze at their teacher’s sudden and bold move. As Ai released her, Nakki staggered backwards, her eyes wide in shock, and fell into a chair.
“Excuse me for using you like that, Nakajima-san, you were the closest one,” Ai smiled sweetly, clapping her hands together to bow slightly. She could hear some of the boys cussing under their breath, wishing they had been the one sitting close to their teacher. Ai faced the bean again with a blank expression. “And that’s how you do a kiss scene.”
Unlike Ai’s expectations, Risa seemed rather calm towards what had just happened in front of her. But upon a closer examination of her girlfriend’s face, the teacher could understand more than she wanted to. Risa was hurt: her eyes showed so much shock and pain as her lips quivered ever so slightly that only Ai herself could see it tremble. Just her gaze alone was enough to make Ai question her actions and feel guilt.
“… I’m going home,” Risa whispered quietly. She quickly grabbed her backpack from her desk and ran out of the classroom before anyone could stop her. Eri nervously looked around at her fellow peers who were already questioning the reason for the prince’s departure.
“Um, Risa-chan is probably just upset that she can’t nail the scene,” Eri reprimanded quickly. “You guys know our Iinchou; she can’t stand being anything else other than perfection! Ha-ha…”
“But… what about rehearsal?” Risako asked. Her last spoken word quickly triggered Saki’s mind to fall back down to earth as she quickly stood up again.
“What, Iinchou left?!” she moaned in despair.
“Yeah… and seeing that the prince isn’t here… there’s no use for the princess either… right…?” Eri said slowly, inching towards her own backpack to grab it and sling it over her shoulder. She winked at her director and smiled as she made her way towards the exit. “I’ll see you guys tomorrow! Bye now!”
“W-wait! But you promised you would stay—”
Before Saki could finish her sentence, Eri had dashed out of the classroom like the world’s fastest turtle. Groaning in frustration, she slumped down on her chair again as the other students sighed and just went back to scanning their own scripts. As Ai looked down on the girl, it seemed as though her brain had already discarded the memory of her teacher almost kissing her, like a true actress’s mind.
But Ai herself could not forget. The kiss that she had almost made out of a sudden spark of anger and jealousy… as well as the pained look on Risa’s face. She had obviously hurt her… and she had betrayed her trust.

Well, it seems as though Ai ans Gaki stumble into a problem which happens alot, or seems to anyway between a coupkle with this sort of age gap, that certain mentality that someone Ai's age had whislt Gaki does not.....
I wonder how this will make things play out and I wonder if, despite feeling bad about it, I wonder if Ai might go into the mindset that this might be the best thing for Gaki, not to be with her anymore.....
-
TakaGaki drama starts again :badluck:

Chapter 72
“The flowers are nice, aren’t they? They’re lilacs, your favorite.”
Reina placed the vase on the small bedside table, taking in the sweet scent as she mumbled to herself. Her flawless skin was even paler than usual, accentuating the dark circles ringing her eyes. The sleepless nights and the continuous stress had obviously taken a toll on her health for the worst.
She walked around to the other side of the bed in which her father laid unconscious towards where the humidifier was releasing its fog. Reina turned the dial down to a lower setting before bustling around the room again, cleaning up any little mess that ticked her practically-almost-OCD senses.
“I guess they’re not really your favorite,” the girl sighed. “It was Mama’s. But you like anything that Mama likes, right? It’s always been like that…”
Reina straightened the corner of her father’s blanket and properly folded the top part to show just a little bit of the man’s shoulders. His eyes were closed and his mouth was covered with an oxygen mask. His expression was so peaceful that one may think he was no longer a part of this world, but the beeping heart rate machine told otherwise as well as the color of life that was still unfaded in his skin.
“I admit it, I didn’t get the lilacs,” Reina chuckled softly. “Kaneda got them from the flower shop across from this hospital. But I was the one who asked… that’s gotta count for something, right?”
Letting out a deep breath, the kitten took a seat on the stool beside the patient’s bed to watch her father’s calm face. She felt crazy, talking to a man who was clearly unconscious and missing school and other parts of her life to do so. She coughed out a humorless laugh.
“You must think I’m terrible,” she whispered. “I’m the one who caused all your pain yet I’m the one caring for you while you’re sick like this… You must hate me.”
As expected, only silence answered her as she continued to blankly stare at her father. It wa hard to believe that just a couple days ago, he had slapped her across the face as Eri also got caught up in the fight. The peaceful face that was currently in deep sleep had been so furious before… and chances were that the very same expression may return as soon as he opens his eyes and lays his sight upon his wretched daughter.
“I’m not here just to take care of you though,” Reina said softly, leaning in. “For some reason… I can’t get myself to leave. I want you to understand why I love Tokyo, and why I have to stay here. I promised myself that I wouldn’t defy you; I can’t defy you.”
The sound of Reina’s pink cell phone vibrating on the bedside table beside the vase did little to break the girl’s trance. She ignored the call until the vibrating stopped, and silence returned to the room.
“I have a life here, you know?” Reina said. “You have a life in Fukuoka, but now my place is here in Tokyo. I have friends here… Linlin and Aika and Junjun… I met Aika and Linlin here, they’re my kouhais. Yes, they’re yankiis, in case you were wondering. But they’re one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met; whenever I’m with them, they make me feel… needed. Like I’m essential to their being or something. It’s a great feeling.” Reina smiled, thinking of Aika’s bright smile and energetic character and Linlin’s laughter and her pure heart. “And Junjun… well, you know Junjun. Can you believe she followed me here all the way from Fukuoka? ‘I can’t be in a place where you won’t be, leader!’ was what she said.” Reina laughed, remembering that moment where Junjun had proven herself worthy enough to succeed her, and to stay as her best friend. “She’s a yankii too but you have to admit, that was pretty damn loyal of her. I guess we were inseparable because we really understood each other… Junjun isn’t so proud of her past either.”
Reina noticed her phone starting to vibrate again but she ignored it, concentrating on her father’s chest moving up and down slowly. It was so odd seeing him like this; the man who had never had time for family because his work required him 24/7 was now lying in a bed doing nothing. It seemed as though he was in the wrong place. In Reina’s memories, he didn’t belong in a hospital bed, but behind a large office desk.
“… I know I’ve done bad things in the past,” she said. Her eyes glazed over as quick flashbacks ran through her head like slide shows. “I know I’ve ruined lives. I know I took Mama away from you, and that’s something that can’t be forgiven… but I want to apologize over and over again anyway.” Reina bit down on her lips to control her emotions, but the tears could not be stopped. She breathed in and out shakily in an attempt to calm herself, but the tears soon dampened her cheeks. “You have to understand though… I loved Mama, too. Maybe as not as much as you loved her, but I loved her in the most sincere way that a daughter can love her mother. It was hard to dislike her, hard for anyone. Mama was just like that… lovable.”
Exhaling slowly, Reina quickly wiped her tears away with her sleeve and forced a shaky laughter. She got up and went to the tissue box on the other side of the bed and pulled out a couple sheets to wipe her face. She blew her nose and discarded the tissues, sniffling as she walked around the bed to sit on her little stool again.
“You know who is also lovable?” Reina said, her lips curving up unconsciously. “Eri. You’ve met her… you probably thought she was a bit of an airhead at first, huh? Well, the truth is, I actually thought the same thing when we were first getting to know each other. A real aho, I thought.” She giggled at the memories of that short-haired tomboy that had stumbled into her life by complete chance… yet also by fate, somehow. “Everything she did only showed how ditzy and clumsy she was, and every little mistake made her look so incompetent. Yet, it was so hard to dislike her. That purity of hers is what attracts me to her; that’s her charm. And everyone who knows her sees it too; Eri is someone who was born to be loved… just like Mama was.”
Reina smiled as her past moments with her girlfriend flashed through her mind. Their little contest at the café, their first kiss at the acquarium, their first night together… So many memories had already been made, it was impossible for Reina to let go of them now.
“I’m actually just one of many,” She admitted. “Just one girl out of all those people who love Eri. I sincerely love her. And she loves me too… but she loves all those other people as well. It’s just my own selfishness to desire a bit more love from her than what she gives to others. And because of that selfishness… I have to stay in Tokyo. She’s special to me, and I want to be special to her too. So please… let me stay with her.”
“Please… let her stay with me…”
Reina sighed as she felt a familiar pair of arms wrap around her to embrace her. She didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. The voice, the warmth, the touch gave everything away.
“I may be a bit of an airhead, Tanaka Shachou,” Eri said softly, “but I have to say that your daughter can be rather dense at times, too. If she really thinks that she’s not special to me yet, than she really needs to open her eyes more.”
Letting out a chuckle, Reina slipped her hands up to hold onto the arms that were holding her tightly. Of course, she already knew the extent of how much Eri loved her. But it was almost like a curse that she could never get enough of Eri. If Eri had more love to give, than Reina wanted it to be hers and hers only.
“We’ve gone too far already, you see,” Eri continued, smiling. “We’re at that point where neither of us can let go. You’ll just have to understand…”
“He’ll just have to understand…” Reina mumbled, closing her eyes.
“So you better wake up,” Eri said. “You have to wake up soon…”
“I’ll be right here when it happens,” Reina whispered to herself.
“No, Reina,” Eri said firmly, directly addressing her girlfriend now. “You have to go home. You can come back when your father wakes up. The hospital will let you know.”
“No, I have to be here when he opens his eyes,” Reina refused, shaking her head. “I have to ask… for his permission. I can’t defy him, I have to ask…”
Suddenly, Eri turned her girlfriend around to the side by her shoulder and kneeled in front of her. “Listen to me, Reina!” she begged. “Please, go home and rest. I can’t bear to see you like this.”
“I have to be here, Eri!” Reina insisted, shaking her head again. “I have to be here to ask—!”
“REINA, PLEASE,” Eri pleaded, gazing up at her pale lover. “I beg you… go home… for me.”
Reina stared down at the girl kneeled in front of her, her face full of sorrow and desperation. Even by trying to rightfully get approval from her father to stay with Eri, she was still hurting her. Why did her talents only lie in giving pain to the people she loves…?
Closing her eyes, Reina silently nodded in acceptance of Eri’s proposal. The turtle sighed as she got to her feet and pulled the weak Reina up as well. Putting her arm around her, Eri led the frail kitten out of the room, as they both took one last look at the still body lying on the bed.

Poor Reina, sometimes it is easier though to explain your ture feelings to someone when they cannot answer or respond in any way, like Reina does here, perhpas she can do it also because she feels as though her father cannot hear her either.....
At least Eri has managed to get Riena home for a while, I just hope nothing bad happens when she is away from the hospital.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 73
“So Tanakacchi is finally out of the hospital?” Risa asked, leaning her chin on her hand.
“You talk as if she was the one lying unconscious,” Eri sighed, pulling out her pencil case along with a notebook to use for the next class.
“She might as well have been, judging from the way you described her condition before,” the bean shrugged. She suspiciously eyed the turtle’s actions as she continued to empty out her backpack to set all her school supplies neatly on her desk. Eri getting ready for class before it actually started? She must certainly have been worried about Reina a lot, to not be herself like this.
“I suppose,” Eri replied, lining up her pencils in parallel rows.
“So where is she right now?” Risa asked. “Is she back in school?”
“Thank goodness, no,” Eri answered, smiling sadly. “I told her to stay home and rest; she hasn’t slept since her father was admitted into the hospital. Not like she could argue with me much either because she was really exhausted. She’s probably passed out in her bedroom right about now.”
“That’s good,” Risa said. “I’m glad you finally convinced her to go back home.”
“Me too.”
The bean leaned down to grab her backpack and started to take out the supplies she needed for her next class. Eri slowly eyed the clock and noticed the longer hand ticking between the large ‘11’ and ‘12’. She still had a couple minutes before the bell rang.
“So…” Eri started, clapping her hands together, “you want to talk about it?”
“… About what?” Risa raised an eyebrow in confusion.
“Oh… just about how you avoided Takahashi-sensei all morning, even when she tried to talk to you after first period… and second… and third...”
“Did not,” Risa denied.
“Did too, I saw everything,” Eri argued. “Whenever Takahashi-sensei tried to get your attention, you would run out as soon as the bell rang or just walk right past her or start talking to me instead. Every single period, she’s been trying to speak to you.”
“She’s not here now,” Risa grumbled.
“There’s a faculty meeting after fourth period; it was on the announcements,” Eri said, sighing. “Come on, Risa-chan, I know what this is about.”
“Oh, do you?” Risa gasped sarcastically.
“Yes, and I don’t think avoiding Sensei is the right way to handle it,” Eri insisted.
“And what exactly do you think I’m upset about?” Risa asked, narrowing her eyes. “About how she let her jealousy get the better of her? How she put that innocent smile on to charm everybody in the class? Or let’s see, maybe it’s the way she kissed Nakki right in front of me?!”
“She didn’t really kiss her—”
“Well it doesn’t matter!” Risa growled, crossing her arms across her chest. “Because as much as I am appalled at her actions from yesterday, that’s not the main reason why I don’t want to see her right now. It’s more than that.”
“Hey, you don’t need to tell me twice, really,” Eri said, holding up her hands where Risa could see them as to mean no offense whatsoever. “Whatever your reasons are, I’m sure they’re good ones. Actually, I think the very obvious reasons are good enough already. I understand why you wouldn’t want to see Takahashi-sensei right now.”
“… Wow. Really? Well, okay.” Risa raised an eyebrow in surprise before shrugged it off.
“But I still think avoiding her deliberately isn’t a good idea,” Eri said carefully, as though she didn’t want to poke her friend in the wrong area. “I mean, you’ll have to talk to her sooner or later. Right?”
“Well then, I choose later,” Risa said firmly. “Can we please just not talk about this? I appreciate your concern, Eri, but I can handle it.”
“Alright then,” the turtle sighed. “I guess if anyone can handle this kind of situation, it’s you…”
** ** **
“Will you stop that, Junjun? I don’t want to…”
“Come on, please? I really want it…”
“No, not now… everyone is watching!”
“Just ignore them; do it now, for me?”
“… Fine.”
Sayumi grabbed her chopsticks and swiftly picked up the pickled plum from on top of the rice. Then, she held it up to her girlfriend’s lips for her to eat, all the while with her head hung down in embarrassment. Junjun grinned as she blissfully ate the umeboshi that the bunny was feeding her, savoring the moment and the taste. Aika and Linlin giggled as they watched their upperclassmen in another one of their little couple fests. Sayumi couldn’t bear to hold her head up again as she felt many eyes on her as well as her yankii friends sitting at the lunch table. This was the reason she had strongly disagreed to feeding Junjun at first. However, as usual, Junjun’s goofy grin had prevented the bunny from thinking clearly before making a decision. Perhaps this was why the Junjun insisted on eating in the cafeteria today: to tease Sayumi some more in public, just to see her get flustered. Oh, that sadistic little yankii…
“You’re terrible,” Sayumi muttered.
“Love you too, babe,” Junjun snickered.
Before Sayumi could shoot out some more poisonous words, Junjun’s cell phone vibrated, indicating the arrival of a text message. The panda carefully lifted her skirt, just enough to slip her phone out of the black strap around her thigh. She immediately checked the new message and scanned the letters before typing back a quick reply and shutting the phone. Her expression had become serious as she lifted her head to face her two yankii lackys, waiting to be addressed.
“That was Kame-chan,” Junjun informed. “She thought we might like to know that Reina has returned home.”
“Finally!” Aika groaned, throwing her hands up in the air. “I was really getting worried about Tanaka-senpai… especially since you said we couldn’t visit, Jun-senpai.”
“I think it was for the best,” the panda shrugged. “Even if her father is unconscious, I just felt that it was kind of… wrong… for delinquents like us to go see her in his room. He wouldn’t have been too happy to know we visited.”
“Well… since she’s back home now, can we go visit Tanaka-senpai?” Linlin asked.
“I’m going to go see her right now,” Junjun declared, standing up. “You three, stay in school.” Sayumi nodded obediently but the two underclassmen did not look too pleased.
“Aw, come on!” Aika whined. “That’s not fair!”
“We really want to see Tanaka-senpai!” Linlin argued. “Jun-senpai just wants to cut classes.”
“Guilty,” the older panda grinned. “But the difference between us is that even if I cut class, I’ll still be ranked first in the entire school. On the other hand, you two…”
“We made it to the top half of the grade, though!” Aika said quickly.
“That’s right, we’ve been studying!” Linlin chimed in.
“Yeah, you should be real proud to be ranked 248th and 249th in your grade,” Junjun smirked, allowing Aika and Linln’s face to fall into a frown. “I just think we should still give Reina some space. I’ll be the representative to go check up on her. You two stay in class. If I found out you guys have been cutting… well, you probably don’t want to know what will happen. Am I clear?” She smiled sweetly as she could visibly see her lackeys’ throat push out as they gulped and nodded rapidly.
“Very clear, Leader,” Aika answered.
“Crystal,” Linlin agreed.
“Have a safe trip,” Sayumi smiled.
“Thanks.” Junjun leaned down to kiss her girlfriend’s cheek and pat her head. “I’ll catch you guys later.”
With that, the yankii leader quickly jogged out of the cafeteria to head out towards the back gate. Sayumi turned back to her lunch and started to each again as Aika and Linlin sighed, feeling completely empty.
“I really wish we could’ve seen Tanaka-senpai too,” Aika moaned. “I miss her!”
“Yeah, I don’t see why we couldn’t have gone with Jun-senpai,” Linlin grumbled. “Besides, it seemed for these past few days that she was the least concerned out of all of us.”
“Come on, you guys know that’s not true,” Sayumi cut in. “Junjun cares about Reina-san. They’re best friends. And Junjun cares about you two as well, which is why she’s keeping you guys in school. No other yankii leader would do such a thing.”
“I suppose…” Aika pouted. “I know we’re fortunate to have Jun-senpai.”
“Can’t help but miss Tanaka-senpai though,” Linlin shrugged.
“Yeah, I’m worried about her too,” Sayumi sighed, playing with the beans on her tray with her chopsticks. “I hope everything will get better…”
** ** **
“As much as I enjoy your company during lunch time,” Eri started, suspiciously eyeing her friend walking beside her, “I can’t help but feel that this moment is quite unrealistic.”
“What are you talking about?” Risa laughed. “We eat lunch together all the time in the cafeteria.”
“Yeah, we used to,” Eri muttered.
The two friends were walking back to their classroom from the cafeteria after eating lunch together. The whole experience had felt like a déjà vu to Eri, since it had been quite a while since she had eaten lunch with her bean friend. After all, ever since Takahashi-sensei stepped into their lives, they had always eaten lunch separately. But today, Eri had found herself being pulled out of the classroom as soon as the bell rang by Risa so that she could avoid her teacher at all cost. Eri really wanted Risa to talk to her lover and work things out, but she also didn’t want to get too involved. She believed that these things should come as naturally as possible.
“Oh, I forgot to buy a bottle of water!” Risa said suddenly. “I finished the one from home in the morning…”
“We still have time; we can go back to the cafeteria and buy one,” Eri said.
“It’s okay, I can go back alone,” Risa smiled. “You go back to class. I’ll see you there.”
“Okay.”
Risa gave a short wave to her friend before turning around to pace back down the hallway she had come from. The crowd of students chatting in the hallway was thinning as the end of lunch period dawned upon them. Feeling a bit more rushed, Risa started to jog down the hallway instead to get back to the cafeteria faster.
Before she could go off in a sprint, she felt herself being pulled aside roughly by an unknown attacker. She gasped in shock as the door shut, enclosing her and whoever had grabbed her arm in the dark closet. She felt her back hit the wall as a wave of flashbacks hit her as well; this situation just seemed all too familiar. And the arms that had her trapped and the warmth against her body gave away who the mystery assailant was right away.
“Sensei, what are you doing?” Risa hissed into the darkness. She couldn’t see her lover’s face too clearly, but she could tell that her expression was hardened.
“We need to talk,” Ai said quietly.
“I have nothing to say to you.” Risa’s rough tone revealed her obvious fury at her lover.
“Well I do,” Ai whispered. “Please, Gaki-san, stop avoiding me and just listen for a moment. Please.”
Silence answered Ai’s request as Risa exhaled slowly to calm herself. She glared at her teacher as her eyes started to adjust to the darkness, revealing the older woman’s earnest gaze. Despite Risa’s angry expression telling her otherwise, Ai decided to take her girlfriend’s lack of words as an approval to continue pleading her case.
”Look, I know you’re mad at me,” Ai started, “and I know I’ve let you down. I don’t know what came over me yesterday; I really didn’t mean to hurt you the way I did. And I sincerely apologize for that. If I could take back my actions, I would do it in an instant. Please, forgive me?”
“You think that I’m mad you because you kissed Nakki,” Risa stated coldly.
“… You’re not?” Ai asked, confused.
“Oh, of course I’m mad at you,” Risa growled. “I’m furious about all your actions yesterday. But that’s not what I want you to apologize to me for.”
“Then what do you want me to apologize for?”Ai inquired, puzzled by this unexpected development.
“Nothing,” Risa laughed dryly. “I don’t want you to apologize for anything, because an apology isn’t going to help. This has been going on for far too long, Sensei.”
“… I’m not sure if I understand.”
“Don’t you see?” Risa whispered angrily. “I’m not upset about what you did yesterday; I’m upset about what you didn’t do. You weren’t being honest to me nor to yourself!”
“This is about honesty?” Ai mumbled, still perplexed.
“You’ve always been like this, Sensei! Since the very first day we met!” Risa moaned, running her fingers through her hair as though to sooth her headache. “You always had these misconceptions about yourself, you were never honest with your own feelings, and the same thing is happening again right now. You told me countless times that you’ve changed or that you will change but you haven’t! You’re still not being honest to yourself and you’re not telling me the obvious truth!”
“Gaki-san, I’ve never hidden anything from you—”
“Oh, give me a break!” Risa threw her hands in the air before rubbing her forehead again in frustration. “Here’s the obvious truth: you couldn’t just admit that you were jealous? If you had just accepted that fact, you wouldn’t have acted so irrationally yesterday! Maybe you think that some emotions are signs of weakness or whatever, but there’s nothing wrong with admitting the truth, Sensei! Even when it comes to us sleeping together, you said that you wanted me but you’re too busy being this ‘bigger person’ who is trying to be responsible or whatever to even give into your own desires! The fact is that you haven’t changed a bit since we first met, and that’s what upsets me.”
“… Look, I’m sorry that you’re upset, I really am,” Ai sighed, attempting to reason with her ranting girlfriend. “Maybe you think that I’m just making another lame excuse when I say this but… for a fully-grown 23-year-old woman, giving in to petty emotions like that isn’t… easy.”
“I know it’s not,” Risa murmured, a hint of sadness in her voice. “But I feel that you’re not even trying to change. You couldn’t become honest just the slightest bit. You couldn’t do it… even though it was for me.”
Risa bit down on her lips, feeling guilty for blowing up completely at her lover like that. Ai’s arms dropped weakly to her sides as she let out a sorrowful sigh. She hated owning up to it, but she knew Risa was right. She really hadn’t changed at all since she first arrived in Tokyo. She still felt that she was truly a “bad person” sometimes, and that she had to compose herself 24/7 to avoid getting hurt. But even to Risa, the one she truly loved, she didn’t drop her guards down. She hadn’t opened up. And it hurt Ai to know that her insecurities had led to Risa’s heartbreak as well.
“… Gaki-san, I—”
“If you’ll excuse me, I have a class to attend,” Risa interrupted quietly.
She quickly found the door handle and turned it to get herself out of the broom closet, leaving the teacher standing alone in the darkness. Ai turned her body to lean against the wall as her legs gave away, dropping her to the floor. She grabbed a fistful of her hair and groaned in frustration as she felt the guilt and regret hit her. She knew that she had wronged Risa. The question was, how is she going to make this right again?

OOH ANGST :twisted:
:byebye: :sleep:
-
I just love the fact that you can write such long stories/fanfics without making me bored! I mean, your last one was 101 chapters & I loooved it (x Thank you ! xD
-
I would prefer some TakaGaki hot make out session not all the drama but I guess I have to wait for that :nervous
-
Oh, it's just so easy how we can get the wrong idea with what SayuJun did there. :lol: You wanna hear it? I did get some wrong ideas.. You'll never know what SayuJun would do. XD
Noooo! :frustrated: Poor Ai-chan! Maybe it's time for her to give Risa some space first.. Then maybe Risa will come to Ai-chan instead? A substitute teacher might work.
-
:cow: :cow: :cow: :cathappy: Uuuuuuupdaaaaaaaate :cathappy: :cow: :cow: :cow:
Oh no Gaki-san ; A; Don't yell at Ai-chan >< ANGST ANGST ANGST ANGST ANGST :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
Update soon! You can't leave me hanging like this for a long time >< well you can but... ; A;
-
Don't worry Ai, you still have time to fix things up! It's not too late and Risa will surely understand :wub:
Junjun and Sayu are just so sweet together, love them! :heart: And Aika and Linlin are cute, so worried of Tanaka-senpai :twothumbs
I really want to see how Ai-chan will fix everything, she is just a perfectionist...
Can't wait for more! :cow:
-
:frustrated: ugggghhh Gaki-saaaan!!! Nooooo!!! :doh: uhhh i wonder how things are gonna go from here ..
-
Oh my... More drama XD
Gaki-san is angry.. and this time, apology isn't working.. Ai-sensei should just gave in and admit she's jealous..
In the other hand, SayuJun is still in honeymoon mood XD
-
Poor Sayu, seems as though jun loves to do couple stuff with her that maybe she dosn't agree about all the time :lol:....... still deep down we know Sayu is really happy about it :wub:
Seems as though Jun is off to try and sort Reina out, perhpas it really is more a case for Jun to but heads with Reina rather than Eri's soft gentle approach.....
Hmm, Gaki is certainly angry at Ai for not really being true with hetself and her feelings and perhpas in some ways Ai now reconizes this but I wonder if perhpas some of Gaki's rant at Ai was not just about Ai not being honest with herself but also some of her own pent up frustraions coming to the fore......
-
@xyukie56: lol, really? i have to confess that I got bored while writing in the middle though... glad to hear that you weren't! :lol:
@shenlog: well, it's not a story without drama/plot, right? :P
@kano-chan: lol the unpredictable SayuJun. substitute teacher made me like this for some reason--> :rofl: :rofl:
@KirikomoriHime: yeah, i probably could... :twisted:
@Bamtai: aww~ you're such an optimist, i love it XD
@Sora-chan: where there's a will, there's a way :D
@eruchan: lol honeymoon is a good way to put it~ Even though they've been a couple for a long time already :lol:
@oddball: well, of course Risa must be awfully frustrated because of this, hence the rant. the question is how long the grudge will last :P
thank you for all the comments/thanks!
whenever I see who "thanked" me, i figure that they must be too busy to comment, which is totally fine with me. so reading those names makes me feel pretty happy too :twothumbs
onwards!

Chapter 74
This was ridiculous.
Reina found it difficult to believe that she was actually still lying in bed at this time. It was past noon and the sun was high up in the sky. Even school was supposed to end in an hour or two. Reina always made herself out to be a diligent lady, at least ever since she left Fukuoka. She was always up at the same time every morning for school without the help of an alarm, since her internal clock had been set that way for a couple years now. At this moment, she would’ve been in school, swiftly copying notes from Yaguchi-sensei’s lecture. But alas, her girlfriend’s desperate request had convinced her to stay home and rest up for the day.
And rest like a dead person, she did. She had fallen asleep as soon as Eri left her last night, slumped over the bed without even changing—again, not very much like the usual Reina. Not like she really had to change into her assigned pajamas of the week anyway; she had already been wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants, just like she had for the past couple of days. Her plain outfit had served her well throughout the night in making comfortable sleepwear.
After many many hours, the sun had finally managed to wake the sleeping kitten with its bright shine. Reina had refused to open her eyes for a couple minutes before she realized that the sun was much too bright for it to be early morning. When she took a peek at the clock by her bedside through her blanket, she had felt immediate guilt and shame from sleeping in until so late in the day. But even as she continued to tell herself to get out of bed, Reina just kept rolling around on the soft mattress to tangle herself up in the bedsheets, feeling much too cozy to actually start taking action.
And just like that, another hour or two passed by again. Reina didn’t fall asleep but she felt satisfied just by lying in bed, doing nothing. It had given her a lot of time to think about the recent happenings: her father’s visit, their argument, Eri getting hit, her father collapsing, more tears along with more confusion… So much had happened in these past few days that it made Reina feel as though she had aged much more. It was almost natural that she felt that way too, considering how she was practically letting herself rot in her father’s hospital room by refusing to eat or sleep… until Eri came along.
That girl always had a way, didn’t she? Things always seemed to work out for her, one way or another. If she had complications in her life, it was related to Reina somehow. That girl would have no worries if Reina and her background didn’t cause so much trouble. But as selfish as Reina knew she was being, she didn’t have the courage to live without Eri’s presence now. She didn’t have the courage to work through her own problems; she needed Eri there beside her. She knew the turtle would always lend a helping hand with all the pleasure in the world, but that was part of what made her feel guilty. Eri was just too pure... yet Reina had always burdened her in unimaginable ways.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, Reina also very well knew that the past couldn’t be changed. It was time to start thinking about the future, time to start realizing what she truly wanted and which of those desires had the possibility of coming true.
Before her mind could shift over to a new topic, something alerted Reina’s keen senses. It wasn’t a very noticeable signal either—just the very slightest sound of a door clicking close. And then a quite thud. Someone was in the house.
Reina let out a tired sigh, cursing her fortunes. If a burglar had broken into her home any other day, she would’ve been happy to have the pleasure of capturing him, throwing in a couple punches here and there, and reporting him to the police. But today was just not a good day; she was still too exhausted and her body felt stiff like a pair of chopsticks after being in bed for so long.
But this was her home and a queen had to protect her castle. Drudgingly, Reina dragged herself out of bed as quietly as she could. She rubbed her eyes to let it adjust to the brighteness of the sunlight blazing through the windows and yanked her fingers through her hair to work out as many knots as she could. Trying to ignore the awful dry taste in her mouth after the extensive slumber, Reina quietly made her way out of her bedroom and towards the stairs.
Calmly and dexterously, the kitten tiptoed down the staircase until she froze at the last step. A hunter listened for her prey first. Only silence resonated from the living room but a clatter reverberated from the kitchen. Reina glided towards the entrance of the kitchen as she raised an eyebrow in confusion; what kind of thief stole kitchen utensils? What kind of…
Rolling her eyes, Reina sighed as she crossed her arms across her chest. “You know, one of these days I’m seriously going to kick your ass, thinking you’re a burglar.”
A tall black-haired girl grinned as she turned from the sink to face her friend. “Well, I would’ve announced my arrival but I figured that you’d still be sleeping.”
“I was,” Reina lied. But the fact was that if her friend had rang the doorbell, she probably would’ve ignored it anyway, pretending to be off in dreamland. However, just to rant at her yankii friend for a little longer, Reina helped herself in telling a little white lie. “Would it have hurt to use the front door?”
“Well, you moved the spare key from under the pot,” Junjun shrugged. “So I took the liberty of breaking in through the back door… This lock is a bit easier to pick than your front doors.”
“Thank you for that little bit of information, now I know that I need to go buy a new lock,” Reina grinned.
“Don’t bother,” Junjun chuckled. “I only broke in through the kitchen door because picking locks isn’t my specialty. But you know how Aika is a master at breaking and entering.”
“True that,” Reina agreed. She had seen her little kouhai at work before; the girl could break into a bank if she wanted to. Thank goodness Junjun had put some sense into her young mind before she made herself a criminal. “Speaking of Aika…”
“They’re at school,” the panda answered, reading the kitten’s mind. “And yes, I cut class to come here.”
“To do what, inspect my pot?” Reina smiled, referring to the large black cooking pot in Junjun’s hand. And upon closer examination, she noticed that there were two grocery bags sitting on the counter.
“To cook something for you,” Junjun shrugged. “You hadn’t eaten in a while, right? I figured you’d either be too tired or lazy to make something for yourself so… here I am, your chef of the day.” She flashed a toothy grin, posing with the pot as though she was advertising it, causing Reina to laugh.
“Thanks, Jun,” she said earnestly, smiling warmly. “I really appreciate that.”
“Hey, what are gang members for?” Junjun joked, grinning. “And more importantly… friends.”
“I can live with that,” Reina said, stretching her arms. She walked towards her dining table and curled up into a ball on the chair. “So, what’s on the menu?”
“Well, I felt like going all fancy with the food at first,” Junjun grinned, “but then I realized you skipped quite a number of meals, so it’s better to work slowly back up to your regular eating pattern. How about okayu?”
“Porridge sounds good,” Reina smiled. Now that they were talking about food, the kitten could feel her stomach knotting up from days of hunger and emptiness. At least she knew she could trust Junjun with food; the girl was a pretty good cook for a yankii since she had to feed herself for the past couple of years.
“I’ll get to it right away,” the panda announced, heading over to the large bag of rice sitting next to the refrigerator to pour a cup of uncooked rice into a large bowl. “And I really mean right away. I figured you would be completely drained of life during the days I didn’t see you, and I was right; you look terrible.”
“Thanks, Junjun, that’s exactly what I needed to feel better,” Reina anwered sarcastically, blowing out air to get the strand of hair covering her face out of the way. “I’m going to go wash up; I feel disgusting.”
“Don’t take a shower now, the food won’t take long,” Junjun warned.
Nodding in approval, Reina got up and made her way towards the bathroom. Only when she saw herself in the mirror did she realize Junjun wasn’t kidding. Reina could now see that she had become a complete skeleton during the past few days; her cheekbones were a lot more defined in a not-so-positive way as her face had thinned a lot. Her collarbones were more noticeable as well as the veins in her wrist, which irradiated a dark blue color. Her fingers seemed longer but only because they were thinner, while her skin was rough to the touch. Her eyes were puffed up from sleeping too much at once after having stayed away for days; Reina figured that the puffs probably replaced some pretty bad dark circles throughout the night. And to think that her girlfriend had seen her in this terrible state yesterday…
Groaning in frustration, Reina turned the faucet and splashed some cold water on her face, using her facial cleanser to rub the oil off of her unpolished skin. She then splattered some more icy water onto her neck and arms, stretching her muscles as the cool feeling spread throughout her body. After patting herself down with a towel, Reina quickly walked back towards the kichen.
Junjun was pouring the rice mixture from the pot into a bowl when the kitten curled up on her chair again. The panda sprinkled some seasame seeds on and plopped a umeboshi on top before presenting it in front of her friend with a proud smile.
“One vegetable okayu, piping hot and ready to eat!” she proclaimed. She placed a spoon in front of the kitten before taking a seat beside her. “I taste-tested it; I didn’t die, which is a good sign.”
“Something that looks this good couldn’t possibly kill,” Reina grinned. The smell of the porridge was alluring enough to make her mouth water. Just the fact that it was food and it was edible made Reina’s mind whirl with happiness. “Itadakimasu!”
The kitten quickly picked up the utensil and helped herself to a spoonful of the porridge. In less than a second, Reina was moaning and panicking while waving her hands frantically as if to fan herself; Junjun really wasn’t kidding when she had piping hot.
“Woah, slow down there!” the panda yelled. She dashed towards the fridge to pull out a water bottle and skidded over towards the cupboard to grab a glass. She quickly poured the drink into the cup and handed it to Reina, who downed the ice water in one large gulp. “Are you okay?”
As Junjun watched over her worriedly, Reina breathed heavily to catch her breath, patting her chest to help the porridge through her throat. After exhaling deeply, she looked up at her friend with a huge grin. “It tastes AMAZING, Junjun.”
“Man, don’t scare me like that!” the yankii leader moaned, slouching back into her chair. “I know you’re desperate to eat but try to take it slow, alright? If you eat too fast, your stomach won’t digest, which gets rid of the whole purpose of making you porridge in the first place.”
“Yeah, yeah, I know,” Reina snickered, sinking her spoon in the bowl before ladling out just a little bit the rice porridge this time. “It really does taste amazing though. Thanks.”
Junjun smiled proudly as she watched her friend enjoy the modest meal that she had prepared. Reina made a smart move in starting to eat slowly, but soon enough she couldn’t resist the urge to shove the food down her throat. She couldn’t deny that she wished she could savor the taste more, but survival came first. And right now, she just needed to fill her stomach with something. And just like that, the bowl was emptied in no time.
“Gochisousama!” Reina thanked, clapping her hands together. “That was great, Junjun. Thanks.”
“Anything for my leader,” the panda grinned.
“Don’t be ridiculous; I’m not your leader anymore,” the kitten chuckled. “You’re in charge of the gang now.”
“You should stop being ridiculous,” Junjun said in a sincere voice. “You’ll always be my leader, Reina, and I’ll always be your lackey who got your back. Never forget that.”
The ex-yankii smiled as she stared at her friend’s honest eyes. She held up her fist and, without missing a beat, Junjun pounded her own fist against it.
“And since I always got your back,” Junjun continued, “it would be okay to confess your heart out to me too. You want to tell me what went down during these past few days?”
“… Otou-san came.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“… He wanted to take me back to Fukuoka.”
“What?” Junjun frowned at the unexpected development. She quickly sat up from her slouching position and leaned in towards the table. “Wait, why? Why now?”
“I don’t know,” Reina sighed, hugging her knees to curl up her body again. “Long story short, he just… came and told me to go back to Fukuoka with him. And before I could find out why… the hospital called me.”
“That’s really unusual,” Junjun mumbled to herself as she fell into deep thought. “Why would the man who wouldn’t even talk to you on the phone for three years suddenly want you back in his house?”
“Beats me.”
“Well, I don’t want you to go back to Fukuoka,” the panda said, her face cringing into a really annoyed expression. “That means I have to pack again too. It’s such a hassle.”
“Yeah, I don’t want to go back either,” Reina said, smiling a little. “I can’t go back anymore… I mean, you’re here now and Eri’s here… and after what he did to her…”
“… What did he do to her?” Junjun narrowed her eyes, as Reina’s expression hardened at the unpleasant memory.
“… He slapped her. Across her face.”
“Tanaka Shachou slapped your girlfriend?!”
“Well, it was an accident.” Reina sighed as she rubbed her temples. “He was hitting me, and then Eri jumped in to protect me and… wham, just like that.”
“Wait, your father slapped you, too?!” Junjun shrilled. The situation had been a lot graver than she had predicted. “Don’t tell that to Aika; she’ll forget all my orders and pull out one of Linlin’s knives on your dad.”
“I trust you’ll take care to keep your gang in the dark about my private life,” Reina said firmly. “To be honest with you… I have half the mind to return to Fukuoka.”
Junjun raised an eyebrow. “Does that mean I have to pack?”
“No, not at all,” Reina chuckled. “It’s just… during the past few days I’ve been watching my father, lying unconscious in the hospital… I realized how much we’ve both changed. I always had this misconception that Otou-san was invincible or something but… he has aged so much. I feel that maybe I should return to Fukuoka for his sake; he is family and I’m… concerned.”
“You care about him,” the panda shrugged. “That’s natural, Reina.”
“Yeah, but I care about Eri, too.” The kitten bit down on her lips as an imaginary scale in front of her balanced out her girlfriend with her father. “I just… don’t want to lose her. I can’t lose her; if Eri isn’t there, I… I don’t know what I’d do.”
“I can identify with you on that,” Junjun smiled. “Sayumi kind of makes me feel like that too. She’s what keeps me happy in this world now. Sometimes I feel so weak and powerless when I think that one girl has me wrapped around her fingers but… I’ve never been so happy to be helpless.”
“Tell me about it,” Reina grinned. “We’re both pathetic.”
“And proud of it.”
As the two friends bumped their fists together again, the sound of the doorbell echoed throughout the house. Reina got up to answer as she waved her friend away to keep her seated. She glided over to the front door and opened the door to reveal her beautiful lover, still dressed in her school uniform. Reina smiled as she noticed her girlfriend’s hair that had gotten longer: enough to reach her chest, but her layers had grown out to create a slightly bobbed shape, which gave her hair the illusion of it still being short. Before her visitor could say anything, Reina jumped into her arms to embrace her warmly while mumbling her name.
“Mm… Eri…”
“Well, I expected a sleepy ‘hello’ but this isn’t too bad either, I guess,” Eri grinned, hugging her girlfriend back. “How are you?”
“Better,” Reina said softly. “A lot better, now that you’re here. You?”
“Same old boring classes,” the Eri laughed, “but a lot better now that I’m here.”
“Hey, there’s my favorite turtle!” Junjun greeted, stepping out of the kitchen while waving. “How’s it going, Kame-chan?”
“Oshisashiburi ne, Junjun!” Eri smiled. “Cut class to see Reina?”
“What else is new?” the yankii grinned.
“So what have you two been talking about in secret?” Eri inquired, taking her lover’s hand to her lips to kiss it. “Something I should be aware of?”
“Nothing much, really,” Reina shrugged, winking at her friend.
“You wouldn’t be interested,” Junjun smirked.
“… I’m going to take your word for it, only because I have more pressing issues,” Eri sighed, turning to her girlfriend. “I want you to promise me something.”
“Promise?” Reina raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
“Actually, a couple things,” Eri rephrased. “It’s very important. Think of it as favors, for me.”
“Go ahead.”
“First… promise me you’ll sleep in your own house and not at the hospital?”
“Don’t worry, Eri, I promise,” Reina chuckled, feeling happy about the fact that her girlfriend was showing honest concern for her.
“And only visit your father once a day, please?” Eri pleaded.
“Yes, I promise.”
“And eat three square meals a day?”
“I think I’ve learned my lesson on that one.” Reina recalled her pale reflection in the mirror, unrecognizeable even to herself.
“And go to school?”
“Right on time every morning.”
“Call me everyday?”
“I already do that.”
“Good, we’re set.” Eri grinned as she leaned forward to kiss her girlfriend lovingly, savoring the sweet taste that she had missed so much. More than understanding of how Eri felt, Reina kissed her back eagerly, satisfying her on suppressed desires. Before the couple could make out more heavily, the sound of an overly exaggerated cough broke them apart to turn their attention towards the source of the interruption.
“Wow, watching you two lovebirds is making me miss my own girl,” Junjun grinned, clearing her throat. “I’m out. Enjoy your night, guys.”
The panda quickly shoved her feet in her sneakers and strutted out the front door, closing it on the way out. When silence ensured in the kitten’s home again, Eri turned to look at her lover’s face again, the face that she had missed so much. Those brown eyes that were clear with sense again, rather than being glazed over like a doll from a day ago.
“I’m so happy to see you again like this,” Eri sighed, stroking her girlfriend’s cheek.
“Ugh, I actually wish you didn’t have to see me like this,” Reina groaned. “But since I want to see your face so badly… I guess I have no choice but to show myself too.”
“You don’t want me to see you?” Eri cocked her head in confusion.
“Well, not now, not really,” Reina shrugged. “I mean, I look terrible. At least I’m somewhat clean now; I’m sorry you had to see me like that yesterday.”
“Hey, don’t worry about that and don’t worry about now,” Eri smiled, kissing her lover’s forehead. “You were beautiful to me then and you’re beautiful to me now. I’m just happy to see you looking…”
“Less dead?” Reina suggested.
“Healthier,” Eri decided. “So stay like this, alright? You’re perfect the way you are.”
“Don’t worry; nothing will change about me, about us,” Reina said determinedly. “Everything is going to stay like this, I promise.”

mehehe :hehehe:
:byebye: :sleep:
-
It is impossible for me to imagine Reina looking less then perfect without it being utterly terrifying :bleed eyes: xD
As much as I'd like to see/read my fluffy Aika go all ninja knives on Papa Tanaka's ass, I am curious to find out his reasoning behind his proposal... then Aika can go after him :cathappy:
I like how you sneaked a bit of fluff in there :3 THAT'S RIGHT JUN RUN TO YOUR SEX BUNNY
Thaaaaaank you for the uuuuuupdaaaaate! :cathappy: :cathappy: :cathappy: :cathappy:

“Don’t worry; nothing will change about me, about us,” Reina said determinedly. “Everything is going to stay like this, I promise.”

LOL, I thought Reina would've thrown a punch first. XD They're really good friends~ :roll:
Okayu = Porridge .....Did I just learned new word? :w00t:
Aww, TanaKame.. :wub: That promise will be the TanaKame Lovin' Insurance in case the Kitty want's to move. :pig madder:
-
Well I wasn't expecting Jun and Reina to get a few thing sorted so peacefully, well even if Jun had to break in, but as she said, that dosn't really count! :lol: Seems as though perhpas Jun knows what it is theb Reina needs in that situation, to get her up and talking again and even perhpas to stiffen thier resolve.
Perhpas it's not odd to see how the two feel the same about thier other halves respectivly and how really they will both probably not say quite how much the loves of thier lives truly do mean to them, especially Jun, who perhpas is more of a girl to get Sayu to feel what her feeling for her are.....
I wonder though if Reina is still hung over the Fukoda decision and that if she decides to got wheteher Jun will follow her...
-
Sorry, the phone was not easy to comment... I have so many thoughts, but words are not enough.
Well ... OK
I wonder what will make the Reina, considering her wishes and promises. Rather what form and the way she will choose. I think the author will give rather interesting opportunity to discuss.
When I finished writing it, and has managed to define itself. I'm aho...
situation TakaGaki:
If only it were easy, it was not so vitally. Right?
In some way: Per aspera ad astra.

Chapter 75
Risa steadily tapped her pencil on the fresh page of her notebook in rhythm to the ticking of the clock, counting down the seconds. She felt uncomfortable about ruining a perfectly good page of her neatly-kept notebook but she had no choice. She needed to keep her head down in her own work to avoid the pair of eyes that was staring holes through her. And since she needed an excuse to be paying attention to a blank sheet of lined paper, she was copying down the notes on the board, like everybody else in the class was. The difference between Risa and the rest of her peers was that she was only pretending while the rest of the students were actually taking notes.
Of course, Risa had already finished taking notes a while ago. Not like she needed to take notes in the first place anyway; this was Niigaki Risa, the class representative, top student in the school, the queen of smarts, girl wonder. It only just so happened that this little miss perfect had a friend who couldn’t go through one period without dozing off into dreamland. The notes were a form of sympathy for the hopeless little turtle who would probably need an instruction manual for how to go to college. Risa was pretty sure the book store had a guide for something like that. What was the title? College Planning for… for someone… bakas? Ahos? Turtles? Whatever it was, Risa made a mental note to get a copy for her friend.
Risa warily looked up at the board, stealing a glimpse of her teacher. She was still staring! And she hadn’t even blinked since the last time Risa caught her watching her, much less moved. What was Takahahi-sensei thinking? What if the other students noticed her gazing at the bean desperately, as though she was calling out to her? For a teacher, Ai was making a rather stupid move.
Not like Risa could blame her either. She had successfully avoided meeting, conversing, and speaking to her teacher for the past week or so. Time had passed by since the little rehearsal incident, yet Risa still found it difficult to forgive her lover. Frustration had piled up inside her for months before she had completely blown up in front of Ai when they were in the closet together before, and Risa was fearful that perhaps she may do so again. She wasn’t sure whether the little angry volcano inside her was completely dormant yet. And she didn’t want to yell at her girlfriend anymore either. It didn’t make either of them feel better anyway.
However, the uncertainty inside Risa still made her hesitate to accept Ai back. She was truly missing her presence, yet she knew they would only fight again if things didn’t change. And since she was left with no clear solution to the problem, Risa had just avoided the subject altogether.
The school bell finally rang throughout the building, indicating the end of another tedious day. The students started to pack idly, chatting with their friends to make plans of returning home together. Risa mercilessly shoved her notebook and pen into her bag and jumped up. Her peripheral vision caught her teacher, walking towards her with a determined look. Oh, not again. She was trying to catch her before she left the classroom. Well, Risa had succeeded in evading her teacher for a week; she could probably do it for one more day.
“Eri, let’s go,” Risa said quickly. She could tell her friend was still only half-awake, so she took charge and started to throw Eri’s things into her bag.
“You know, Risa-chan,” the turtle sighed, glancing at the teacher approaching them, “I really think that you should talk to her—”
“And I really think that we should leave,” Risa growled through her teeth, “NOW.”
Not taking the chance of being caught by her sensei, the bean grabbed her friend’s wrist and quickly dragged her out of the classroom, ignoring Ai’s voice calling her name from behind her. She quickly ran down the hallway, pushing through the crowd of students beginning to leave the building, as Eri staggered behind her. When she skipped down the stairs and felt that she was safe, Risa stopped to catch her breath and leaned on the wall. On the other hand, Eri collapsed right in front of her, wheezing heavily.
“Nothing like a good run after a nap,” Eri huffed, fanning herself.
“You should really stop sleeping in class,” Risa advised. “One of these days, I’m going to stop taking notes for you.”
“And you should really stop avoiding Takahashi-sensei,” Eri shot back. “One of these days, she’s going to stop chasing you.”
“That’s none of your business, Eri.” The bean crossed her arms across her chest, not wanting to talk about the crisis presented.
“It’s my business if it affects you,” the turtle replied back, standing up to dust off her skirt. “Look, Risa-chan, it’s already been a week since you’ve stopped talking to her. I know you said there’s another reason to be mad at her other than the little incident with Nakki but… forgive and forget, you know? You can’t ignore her forever.”
“… It’s not that simple,” Risa mumbled, closing her eyes. “It’s just… I’ve done a lot of thinking recently, and I’ve come to the conclusion that talking to her as of now isn’t a good idea. Not safe for either of us.”
“Well, if that’s your conclusion, what’s the solution?” Eri questioned. “You two can’t stay like this forever.”
“Yeah, well, one thing that I do know is that something needs to change,” Risa sighed. “And she needs to be the one to make that change. I’ve done my part of thinking so now it’s her turn to figure out how to fix everything.”
“If you say so…” Eri eyed her friend as she decided to shrug off the topic. The mood was getting much too heavy, considering school was finally over for the day. “Our play rehearsal is in the auditorium today, right? On stage? We should get going.”
“You’re coming to rehearsal?” Risa laughed. “I thought you’d be running off to Tanakacchi again.”
“Yeah, I will be,” the turtle grinned, “after the princess is saved. Nakki left threatening texts in my phone. I don’t want to raise more hell fire.”
“Good,” Risa nodded firmly, “because I don’t want to take all the blame for you not being there. Let’s go.”
The two girls started to make their way through the thinning crowd of students, side by side, towards the auditorium. But before the next minute could end, Eri’s phone sent out a loud ring, indicating the arrival of a new text message. The turtle groaned, thinking that it was probably her director. When she flipped the phone open, however, an unforeseen message was written out.
“… Oh my gosh.”
“What is it?”
Wordlessly, Eri held up her cell phone to show the screen to her friend.
He’s up.
~Reina
Risa exhaled deeply as she glanced by at her friend. Eri was staring at her with hopeful eyes, biting down on her lips. Her swallowing was visible as her throat moved up and down.
“… You should go,” Risa said finally. “She needs you. I’ll try to deal with Nakki.”
“Thanks, Risa-chan!” the turtle gushed happily, giving her friend a good squeeze. “I promise I’ll make it up to you somehow!”
She clumsily linked her pinky to her friend’s before running off towards the opposite direction, leaving Risa to come up with excuse to Eri’s absence. The bean ran several plans through her head before deciding that none of them was going to work. Groaning in frustration, she began to walk towards the auditorium again, ready to face all hell fire.

Glad that someone gave this warning to Gaki, I wonder if she will listen to it though......

Chapter 76
Eri groaned in frustration as she whirled around in circles, checking every single name plate that labeled each patient’s room. She had already misread many name plates, considering the excessive number of Tanakas there were in Japan, and had accidently knocked on wrong doors a couple times. The more mistakes she made, the more embarrassed she got. How could she have possibly forgotten the room number? She had just visited the man a couple days ago with Reina. Eri supposed it was because her girlfriend always led the way to her father’s room whenever the turtle visited, so she never really paid attention to the location of the room.
Finally giving up on her short-term memory, the turtle trudged back to the front desk. She had just been flattering herself all along, thinking that she could somehow find the room soon enough. But alas, Eri decided to accept reality and just ask the kind-looking nurse at the counter.
“Can I help you?” the young nurse asked, seeming to be concerned by Eri’s deep sigh.
“Yes, um, I’m looking for Tanaka Koichi’s room?” Eri mumbled, rubbing her neck.
“One moment, please,” the nurse said as she turned her back to the turtle. She fingered through the many files shelved in a bookcase wall before arriving at the right name tab. She pulled out the manila folder and flipped through the papers inside. She looked back up and smiled sweetly at the teenage girl, who was restlessly tapping her fingers on the counter. “He’s in room 712 on the floor above us. You can take the elevator up.”
Eri smacked her forehead. Of course, she was on the wrong floor. All this time, she convinced herself that Tanaka Shachou’s room had to be somewhere around here yet he was on a different floor this whole time. She quickly thanked the nurse and dashed towards the stairwell. She knew she didn’t have the patience to take the elevator at this point, and Reina probably didn’t have the patience to wait for her any longer either.
Bursting through the heavy door, Eri was presented with an identical view from the 6th floor: a lobby filled with a moderate number of people, the front desk, and hallways branching out. She quickly made her way down the indicated hallway and searched the walls for the correct number and name plate before she spotted her lover, standing in front of a door. Taking a deep breath, Eri walked over to her lover who was frozen like a statue, staring at the entryway to her father’s room. When her shoulder were touched, Reina looked up at the visitor in shock. Relief quickly washed over her face when realized who it was as she placed her hand on top of Eri’s.
“You were waiting out here?”
“I didn’t have the guts to go in alone.” Reina smiled a little, squeezing her girlfriend’s hand. “Hard to believe I was a yankii once, right?” She laughed at her own little joke as Eri smiled. She was relieved to see that her lover wasn’t freaking out too much; she seemed calm enough to not space out like a ghost this time.
“I’m here for you,” Eri whispered. Reina nodded, grateful for her girlfriend’s support. Those simple words were all she needed to face her fears. Without a second thought, Reina reached out and opened the door.
The quiet humming of the humidifier resonated in the room, followed by low murmurs from the nurse who was taking notes on a clipboard. She stood beside the reclined bed in which the patient was slightly sitting up with his back supported by multiple pillows. Tanaka Shachou looked up to spot his daughter with her girlfriend, and gave a small nod in acknowledgement. Reina returned the same nod and proceeded to sit down at the stool next to the bed.
“Are you both family members of Tanaka-san?” the nurse asked politely. “Only relatives can visit now for a limited time.”
“Don’t worry, Nurse Satou,” the old man said. “This here is my daughter.”
“Well then, I’m sorry but you’ll have to leave, ojou-san,” the nurse said apologetically to the turtle standing behind her lover. “You can wait outside until your friend is done.”
“No,” Reina said firmly, grabbing Eri’s hand to stop her from moving. “She’s family too.”
Eri’s lip curved into a small smile as she squeezed her girlfriend’s hand. The nurse raised an eyebrow as she looked at the patient for confirmation. The old man examined her daughter’s stern expression and then her friend before smiling, as though he was amused.
“So she is.” He nodded in approval at the nurse, whose lips formed a tight line as though she was really wondering whether the turtle was family to the patient or not. Realizing she was in no position to argue, the nurse headed for the door.
“You have 15 minutes,” she said as she crossed the threshold. “Tanaka-san still needs to rest.”
The door clicked close and an awkward silence filled the room. Tanaka-shachou leaned back into his pillows as he stared at the wall, not sure as to what he should say. Reina also kept her eyes wandering from the floor to her knees to her hands, but nowhere above that level. After what felt like hours, Eri decided that nothing was going to be accomplished by this silent father-daughter pair unless she took the first action.
“It’s good to see you up again, Tanaka-san,” Eri said politely, bowing. “I apologize for disturbing you like this… and for my rude behavior from when we first met. It was very tactless of me.”
“Please don’t mind it… Kamei-san, was it?” the patient spoke softly. His voice sounded hoarse and papery from days of lying unconscious in bed. “Rather, I meant to thank you for stepping in the other day. You did something that I have not been able to do during my entire life.” You protected her in a way I could never have done. Such a plain girl like you…
“I only did what I had to do,” Eri replied, slightly confused by Tanaka Shachou’s words. Reina seemed to understand more or less, since her grasp on Eri’s hand relaxed a little. Whatever the kitten’s father said, it must’ve been with good intentions.
“And speaking of what we need to do,” the man said, turning his weary eyes to his daughter, “I believe we need to talk.”
“Talk or argue?” Reina retorted. Her voice seemed to shoot daggers, but Tanaka Koichi could tell she wasn’t trying to be angry. Her eyes were full of anxiety, as though she feared their conversation may take a violent turn to action like the last time they tried to speak to each other peacefully.
“I assure you, I intend for us to only talk, and not even argue,” the father said, smiling sadly. Reina found it unfamiliar to see her father make such an expression. He had refused to show any other emotion besides anger and indifference since that day; yet here he was, making the most honest expression Reina had ever seen of him. Behind the smooth mask that he had used to hide exhaustion, he had aged so much…
“… Don’t give me any of that…”
“What was that?”
“Don’t give me any of that bull crap!” Reina yelled, fisting her hands in rage. “You’re saying such a thing to me after all these years? You’re supposed to hate me! You’re supposed to hate me for what I’ve done to you, to Mama! You’re not supposed to make that kind of face, like you’re weak… You’re supposed to be angry…” She clenched her teeth to hold back the tears in her eyes. She succeeded in hiding the tears at the cost of her eyesight; everything was blurry now, but she could still clearly see the guilty eyes of her father, gazing at her.
“… I’ve been a terrible father, haven’t I?” Tanaka Shachou sighed deeply, keeping his breathing steady to not overwork his lungs. “I never paid so much attention to you, and I never bothered to help you when you became an outcast at your school… All I could do was throw you out because of my own pain. I don’t even deserve to be called your father.”
“No, you did the right thing!” Reina argued, blinking out the tears that finally managed to run loose. “I couldn’t be a good daughter to you or Mama… and I killed her too. You did the right thing by throwing me out… Or rather, you should’ve yelled at me or hit me or something, but… you held back for the mere reason that I was your kid… You shouldn’t have done that.”
“… But I wanted to,” Tanaka Shachou mumbled. He looked at his daughter’s tear-streaked face, the face that he had considered the very idea of hate. “I wanted so very much to… beat you at that very moment… when I found out Ryouko was dead. My wife, the only person I’ve ever whole-heartedly trusted in my entire life… was gone. There were so many ways I wanted to take revenge on you for taking Ryouko away from me, but I couldn’t do anything.”
“You should’ve done it,” Reina said through her teeth, her tears streaming down her cheeks nonstop. “You’ve beat me, you should’ve—”
“No, I couldn’t,” Tanaka Shachou said, shaking his head. He smiled sadly at his daughter, waiting for his response. “Because I loved your mother very much… and I knew just how much she loved you.”
“… I loved Mama, too,” Reina said, her voice cracking at the mentioning of her mother, “which is why you should’ve punished me more harshly than you did.”
She hung her head low as she cried out softly. All the guilt that Reina had felt for the past three years washed over her mind; her behavior was what hurt her mother and eventually killed her. The way that policeman had informed her of her mother’s accident on the way to pick her up… it was a memory that could never be erased. The deadly silence in her home before her father finally told her to go up to Tokyo… it was something that she kept in her heart as her own form of a punishment.
“I didn’t deserve to judge you,” Tanaka Shachou admitted. “After that day, I defined the feeling of hatred with you. I don’t know how I could’ve done such a thing as a father… but I still did.” Suddenly, he chuckled a little, letting out a low raspy laugh from the base of his throat. “You know what’s funny, though? I ended up linking you with the meaning of regret as well.”
To this, Reina raised her head and widened her eyes in confusion. She had never seen her father smile like that before; his lips were curve up ever so slightly, that one would not recognize that it was a smile at the first glance.
“It’s funny what deadly diseases do to you,” Tanaka Shachou said softly. “The feeling of death creeping up on you really makes you think about so many things; it makes you feel rushed to accomplish the work that you have yet to finish. When I was diagnosed with lung cancer, I thought of the tasks that I needed to complete. There was so much to attend to at the company and so many workers that I worried about… yet the first thought that came to mind was you.”
“…Me?” Reina asked in disbelief.
He nodded. “The matter that I had left unfinished, the issue I avoided the most, the past I was too scared to face… you, my very own daughter whom I hated so much, was to be my biggest regret before death. The way I treated you, the way I refused to see you, the way I broke this family apart… I regretted everything. That’s why I came to Tokyo: to somehow piece back whatever is left of our bond. To atone in some way, to make a family again… to tell you how sorry I am for not being able to protect you all these years.”
Reina’s lips trembled as she let out a shaky sigh. Unable to hold in the emotions, she broke down and sobbed out loud, letting her tears soak her face and her hands. She didn’t know what to feel in this kind of situation; the father that had always hated her was looking for a way to apologize. But she was the one at fault all along, wasn’t she? How is she supposed to react? With joy? With gratitude? With relief?
No. Just guilt. It was only guilt, and it will always be just guilt. Guilt, at not being able to return first and beg for forgiveness. Guilt, at not thinking of ever solving the conflict between them. Guilt, at having given up on the hope that one day, things could return to what it once used to be: family.
“… I’m sorry…” Reina mumbled, sniffling in between words. “I’m sorry for… not realizing… sooner.”
“I’m sorry too… Reina.” Tanaka Shachou smiled at this, having felt his heartbeat race a little faster from calling his daughter by her name, like he used to before everything went awry. He couldn’t remember the last time he had called her in such an intimate way… and the last time he heard his daughter call him in such a manner. “Come home with me, Reina. Come back to Fukuoka. Give me chance to make things right for our family again.”
Reina clenched her teeth as she gazed at her father with hope in her eyes. But she hadn’t forgotten the person that was standing behind her all this time, supporting her silently. The person who had always been there, the one who held her in this world…
“… I can’t,” Reina confessed. “My place is here now. I can’t go back to Fukuoka anymore. I can’t leave my new family.”
Reina looked up at the girl standing beside her, whose eyes were wide with shock. Eri’s expression was almost apologetic, yet she stayed silent. She wasn’t selfless enough to tell Reina to go back home; she felt guilty about it, but she needed Reina more than anyone. She knew that as a fact.
“I understand,” Tanaka Shachou said, showing a faint smile. He placed his hand on Reina’s face as she looked up in surprise. He looked stroked her cheek before sighing in satisfaction. “This is enough for me. Thank you for growing up so beautifully. I’m… proud… to have a strong daughter like you.”
Reina’s voice hitched as she placed her hand on top of her father’s. She quickly bit down on her lip and nodded comprehension; she couldn’t find the proper words to expression her gratitude back, but she was sure her father understood her meaning nevertheless. The single contact they were making now—the first contact they had made in years—was enough communication for both of them.
“Kamei-san,” Tanaka Shachou called, directing his attention to the turtle, “thank you for taking care of my little girl. I’ll be honest with you; I wasn’t quite impressed by you at first, nor by your grades or profile…” Eri’s cheeks turned slightly red with embarrassment as Reina let out a soft chuckle in disbelief that her father checked up on her girlfriend, and in amusement at Eri’s less-than-average report card. Tanaka Shachou continued on with a smile, “But I remember your friend vouched for you in a very fervent manner. And if you could get someone to defend you like that… well, I’m sure there’s something extraordinary about you that attracts those kinds of friends.”
“Don’t worry,” Eri assured, “I’ll be the best g—friend… that Reina has ever had.”
“Right, friend,” Tanaka Shachou chuckled. He very well knew there was something a bit more going on between his daughter and the turtle than just friendship, but he didn’t feel the need to inquire about it today. He wasn’t sure whether he could handle the whole “meeting with my daughter’s lover” scenario at the moment.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door followed by the entrance of the nurse. “Visiting hours are over; Tanaka-san needs to rest now!”
Reina slowly got up from her seat and headed for the door. “He’s going to be okay, right?” she asked the nurse.
“As long as he gets the necessary treatments and therapy, he’ll become better in time,” the nurse reassured. “It would’ve been easier if the cancer was caught in an earlier stage, but it’s not too late to treat him.”
“Thank you very much,” Reina sighed, bowing to the nurse. She turned to face her father again and bowed. “I’ll come visit again.”
“Even after I go back to Fukuoka?” Tanaka Shachou asked, smiling a little. “Just… pop in once in a while… during holidays or something.
“I will… Papa.”
As Tanaka Shachou’s face lit up with pleasant surprise, Reina quickly turned and left the room with Eri closing the door behind them. The nurse walked over to the bed and pressed the button to decline the mattress. She fixed the blanket for him and checked the IV needle in his arm.
“Your daughter seems like a lovely girl,” the nurse said, grinning. “She seems to love you very much.”
“… Perhaps,” the father said with a smile. “I just hope she knows how much I treasure her as well.”
** ** **
Eri shut the door to the patient’s room and turned to her girlfriend. Reina had her back turned to her, as she quickly wiped away whatever traces of tears that were left to mark her face. She was sniffling as well as breathing quickly, rubbing her eyes with her sleeves. She then let out a long sigh, placing her hand on her chest to calm herself down.
“You okay?” Eri asked.
“… Yeah.” Reina turned around and smiled at her lover, who grinned back at her in relief. “More than okay, actually. I’m feeling pretty good.”
“You should, after the way you were blubbering in there,” Eri teased, as Reina pouted in complaint. She laughed and pulled the kitten into her arms. The small girl mumbled something that sounded like thanks as she buried her face into her lover’s shoulder.
“I did it, Eri…”
“Mm… I’m so proud of you.” Eri gave her girlfriend a good squeeze before kissing her forehead. “But… are you sure you don’t want to go back home?”
“What are you talking about, aho Kame?” Reina grinned. “I am home. Here. With you.”
“ You don’t know how happy that makes me,” the turtle sighed, embracing her girlfriend again. “Well then, shall we leave?” She offered her hand as Reina took it without the slightest hesitation. “Where to?”
“Mm… I’m kind of hungry,” the kitten smiled. “Dinner? My house?”
“Sounds great,” Eri agreed.
Holding tightly onto her lover’s hand, Reina led the way as she left all mistake and regrets behind to plan a better future for this new family.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 77
Oh boy. Here we go again.
Risa swallowed hard as she braced herself for the explosion of anger that was about to be unleashed. She could see the color of Nakki’s face slowly change from the usual peachy tone to furious red. Her eyes blazed with fury as she glared at Risa mercilessly. The sound of her teeth gritting could be heard by everyone sitting on stage, for the silence was too intimidating to be broken by anyone. No one dared to save the poor iinchou from the director’s wrath; it was never a good idea to get in Nakki’s way so soon before the show date. Risa knew that very well, which was why she didn’t bother to feel resentful towards her classmates for not rescuing her. No, the only person she felt bitter towards at the moment was Eri. That turtle soup was way overdue. She was sure Nakki would probably help her cook it, but if she didn’t get out of this situation first, that soup would come with a side of steamed beans.
Well, on the bright side, she didn’t see any faces on the stage that she didn’t want to see. She could only spot the angry face of her director along with the other frightened and worried faces of her classmates. The seats of the auditorium were completely empty as well. The only person who was not on stage was a single male student who had volunteered to supervise the lighting booth.
It wasn’t that Risa disliked her teacher now; she just felt that facing her wasn’t such a good idea at the moment. After the way she had told Takahashi-sensei off a week ago, she had avoided her at all costs. However, the truth was that she missed her lover dearly, yet she was scared to go on with this relationship without facing the issue first. And as she had no solution to this problem whatsoever, she was stuck.
“Well, Gaki-san?!” Nakki growled, making Risa cringe, “What is the meaning of this?!”
“Meaning of…?” Risa mumbled, feigning innocence.
“Oh, you very well know what I mean!” Nakki yelled. “Why is it that you are here alone, without Kamei-chan?!”
“I told you already,” the bean shrugged, smiling nervously. “Eri… felt sick… so she went home.”
“You and I both know she’s not sick, Iinchou!” Nakki roared. “I saw her in class; she seemed perfectly fine!”
“She told me she was feeling unusually tired,” Risa said quickly. “That’s why she fell asleep during class.”
“She always sleeps in class!” Nakki groaned. “That fact that she was sleeping today again means that she’s perfectly healthy and normal, if nothing else!”
That Kame is seriously going to pay for this, Risa thought angrily. “Look, I’m sorry that Eri isn’t here, Nakki. There was urgent business that she had to attend to. But I promise Eri and I will get together by ourselves throughout this week and make our joint scenes perfect, okay?”
“… You promise?” Saki muttered.
“I give you my word as class representative,” Risa pledged. “And to the rest of you guys, I’m sorry for causing so much trouble. And I’ll make sure Eri is sorry for everything too, if she isn’t already.”
“It’s okay, Iinchou, we believe you,” Yurina grinned.
“Yeah, I’m sure everything will work out in the end,” Risako agreed.
“If anyone can perfect this, it’s Iinchou,” Chinami said, giving a thumbs-up.
“You mean if anyone can control Kamei-chan, it’s Iinchou,” Nakki sighed.
“Oh, that’s a good one, Nakki!” Makoto laughed.
“We all know Eri-chan is a handful, Gaki-san,” Asami smiled. “The play will be perfected by us, so just worry about the prince and princess’s joint scenes, okay?”
“Arigatou, minna!” Risa grinned, bowing. “Really, I’m indebted to all of you!”
“Just treat us to lunch next time or something, alright?” Maasa said.
“Yeah, I’ll do that,” Risa laughed.
“Okay, we’re going to run other scenes today then,” Nakki announced, rolling up the script in her hand. “We’ll check curtains, lights, and other backstage stuff. I guess… Gaki-san can go home for today. Make sure to reel in our princess!”
“Don’t worry, I’m going to give her a piece of my mind today,” the bean said in a low voice, scowling at the thought of her airheaded friend. “Well then, I’ll see you all tomorrow!”
Amidst the various farewells and goodbyes, Risa ran out of the auditorium and down the hallway. She noticed the sky beginning to darken as the gray clouds moved in. She was reminded of the weather report from that morning, indicating heavy rainfall throughout the night. Wishing to avoid the downpour, the bean scurried to the locker areas to grab her outdoor shoes and switch it with her indoor slippers. She quickly tidied up her hair and the wrinkled areas of her uniform as she made her way out to the fields.
From outside, she could see that there were many classrooms that were still lit up. It was understandable, seeing as the school festival was approaching at a fast pace, so most of the students were probably preparing their own exhibits to compete for that class karaoke party. The thought of the prize only made Risa feel the need to rein in Eri even more, as she didn’t wish to find out what kind of upset expressions the rest of her classmates could make in comparison to Nakki’s glaring eyes.
As she approached the main school gate, Risa spotted a familiar figure leaning against the brick wall. The woman was dressed in a light-blue button-down shirt with khaki-colored shorts and sneakers. Her long wavy brown hair was let loose, giving her a youthful image. One would’ve thought that the woman was a student in the school, if he or she was not aware of the fact that she was actually a teacher.
Risa stopped in her tracks as her eyes widened. She thought that she had successfully avoided Takahashi-sensei for one more day, but apparently she was wrong. And even more shockingly, Risa was definitely not expecting to see her teacher waiting for her at the school gates wearing casual clothes instead of her usual formal teaching attire.
Ai seemed to be deep in thought as she was staring at the ground, but one glance was enough for her to identify her girlfriend standing just a few feet away from her. She leaned away from the wall to stand on both of her feet as her lips pursed together. Risa sighed as a million different thoughts flashed through her mind. Yet, she was unable to come up with a decent plan that would get her out through the gates safely without facing her teacher. So she took a deep breath and walked over to the older woman as calmly as possible.
“Hey,” Ai greeted, smiling a little.
“Hi,” Risa replied, unable to make eye contact with her girlfriend whom she hadn’t seen properly in so long.
“Well, at least you’re talking to me now,” Ai laughed softly. “That’s a good start.”
“What do you think you’re doing, Sensei?” Risa asked in a low voice, ignoring her girlfriend’s efforts to lighten up the mood. “Dressed in casual clothes like that in school…”
“Teachers don’t always dress formally, Gaki-san,” Ai smiled.
“That’s not my point,” Risa explained. “If people see us talking with you dressed like that… it doesn’t seem like a normal teacher-student relationship. It’s too informal. We look too…”
“Close?” Ai guessed. “I thought we were.”
“You’re still missing the point,” the bean muttered.
“Well, that’s why I didn’t wait inside the school building,” the teacher said. “I figured you probably wouldn’t want to see me at rehearsals even more than other places… so I went home, got changed, and waited out here for you.”
Risa remained silent as she kept her eyes away from Ai’s face. It wasn’t everyday she got to see her girlfriend wearing non-business clothes, and the very event itself made her feel excited for some reason. But her insignificant joy had no place in her mood today, as she was determined to not let the problematic matter between them be overlooked. Sensing Risa’s rejection to associate with her, Ai slowly reached out and touched the younger girl’s hand, startling her a bit. Not wanting to overdo it, the teacher just held onto the very tip of Risa’s fingers ever so slightly, that if someone was watching from far away, they wouldn’t even know they were holding hands.
“I missed you,” Ai confessed, as Risa’s stiff expression relaxed a little. “Throughout the past week… I missed seeing your smile, hearing your voice… touching you like this… I really missed you.” She brought her young lover’s hand up to kiss it, not taking her eyes off of Risa for even just a second. “Please don’t lie and say you didn’t miss me.”
Risa bit down on her bottom lip, not willing to let her honest words escape through her mouth. Instead, she took her hand away from Ai’s face and gazed at her sadly. “You mean like the way you lied to me?”
Ai closed her eyes as she exhaled slowly, her face wrinkling in frustration. “Gaki-san, I already apologized for what happened last week. I was wrong, and I won’t do such a thing again. What more do you want from me?”
“I already told you that the reason I’m angry isn’t because you almost kissed Nakki!” the bean retorted back. “I’m upset because you won’t be honest about your feelings to me nor to yourself! You let your pride stop you from telling the truth, and I don’t want to be left in the dark!”
“Please, Gaki-san, I’ll try harder, really,” Ai pleaded, taking both of Risa’s hand in desperation. “You have no idea how much I love you… I’d do anything. Can’t we just… get over all of this and go back to the way we were before?”
“Avoiding the problem isn’t going to solve anything, Sensei,” Risa said, shaking her head. “When you’re not honest, I feel really distant from you. I don’t know… if we can go on like this, how much of this kind of relationship I can take.”
“Oh god, please don’t say things like that,” Ai begged, squeezing her girlfriend’s hands. She could practically feel her trembling heart about to drop down. “I promise I’ll change, Gaki-san. I’ll work harder… I don’t want you to ignore me anymore.”
“Then let me ask you a question,” Risa said quietly, staring at her teacher with unwavering eyes. “Do you still think… sometimes… that you’re still a ‘bad’ person?”
“… No…” Ai hesitated for a while before her lips pursed together, and opened again. “You told me not to.”
Risa exhaled sharply in disbelief. “You see? Wrong answer, Sensei!”
“What did I—”
“People’s way of thinking doesn’t change just because someone else tells them to change it!” Risa yelled, not bothering to hide her disappointment anymore. “You obviously still do think that you’re a ‘bad’ person sometimes and, as much as that upsets me, that’s not the main problem here! It’s the fact that you won’t be honest about it!”
Ai’s expression saddened as she came to a realization. “Gaki-san, I—”
“Why can’t you just admit your feelings?” Risa cried, unable to keep her words bottled up. “Why won’t you just say what’s on your mind? When you hide things like that… I don’t have the confidence to be by you anymore. It’s like you’re putting a wall between us. Why won’t you let me get closer to you?! I love you so much, Sensei, with all my heart and that’s why it hurts knowing that you still keep things from me!”
The young girl breathed heavily after ranting at her lover with all the frustration that had piled up inside her. Ai just watched her sorrowfully, knowing what Risa said was true. She had been dishonest all along; she had not revealed her true emotions to her lover and in the midst of doing that, she had managed to convince herself that the lies were facts. Sighing, Ai reached out to touch her girlfriend, but she stepped away.
“Don’t,” Risa said shakily. “I really… hate… the Sensei right now.”
Before the teacher could respond, the younger girl ran off as fast as she could, disappearing through the grayness that was slowly turning into night. A couple droplets of rain hit Ai’s skin along with stronger wind chilling her body, yet she didn’t move. She couldn’t feel anything at the moment. All she could think of was Risa’s hatred… for her.
What do I do now…?

That turtle soup was way overdue. She was sure Nakki would probably help her cook it, but if she didn’t get out of this situation first, that soup would come with a side of steamed beans.
OHMYGOODNESS. WIN. XD
“I missed you,” Ai confessed, as Risa’s stiff expression relaxed a little. “Throughout the past week… I missed seeing your smile, hearing your voice… touching you like this… I really missed you.” She brought her young lover’s hand up to kiss it, not taking her eyes off of Risa for even just a second. “Please don’t lie and say you didn’t miss me.”

Yadaaa tanakame is safe but not for takagaki :panic:
But i love drama lol XD
Thanks for updating!
Waitin for your update *and raburabu chap* hehehe XD
-
Ahh so many difficulties for Ai and Gaki, I can see Gaki's point of view, she just want's Ai to be honest with her, and perhaps, more importantly, to be honest with herself, and it must frustrating to see the same issue come up with the girl you love time and time again and how, despite loving her so much, it will in the end, get tiring and annoying.
As for Ai well there are things still which I feel hold her back from letting herself become fully open to Gaki, is it the Teacher/student releationship, the age difference, the fact that Ai still thinks she is 'bad' or maybe a mix of all of them? Perhpas another thing running through Ai's mind is that she does not want to tell Gaki what she is truly thinking as she fears what it might lead to......
-
Make sensei sick -> Risa comes and after awhile... problem solved.
-
Well im glad you updatet but really angry for hurting Ai... it`s so confusing :banghead:
Grrr i shall give you burned cookies made of dirt (sounds nice dosent it? XD)
but it was a good chapter ... i should i give you that but im so upset that you almost cracked TakaGaki up.. :cry:
and ooh yeah you should hide or the burned dirt cookies will find you grrrr...
-
You just love to torture me, don't you??? :lol:
Here I was, being utterly hopeful that Ai and Risa would make up and then..... SMASH!!!! :panic: :panic: :panic:
IT GETS EVEN WORSE :banghead:
Seriously, if I didn't know any better I'd think you want to break them up!
.... You couldn't possibly be thinking that??? :shocked :shocked
No, you love them too much to do that :wub: Or you are too afraid of all the TakaGaki fans who would be after your blood XD
Anyway, thanks for the update :twothumbs I'm waiting for more :heart:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 78
“Come, my dear, I shall teach you how to spin. Don’t be afraid.”
“I… uh… um…”
“Is there a reason why you must not spin?”
“… Well… Um…”
“Oh, for goodness sake, Eri!” Reina dropped the script in her hand on her bed and plopped right down on the floor in frustration. “I thought you said you almost had this memorized!”
“I do, I do!” Eri insisted, crouching in front of Reina.
“Well, we’ve been doing the same scene for the past 30 minutes,” the kitten groaned. “And I keep on telling you: the line is, ‘But spinning is illegal’!”
Eri pouted as Reina continued to moan in exhaustion. After enjoying a somewhat celebratory dinner together after getting approval from Tanaka Shachou for Reina to stay in Tokyo, the two girls had decided to rehearse some scenes from Eri’s upcoming play. Now that her girlfriend’s crisis was over, the turtle had felt rather guilty about always leaving Risa to cover for her, so she had decided to have Reina run lines with her. Throughout their practice, Eri’s worry had grown more and more into panic as she realized she knew a lot less lines than she had originally thought.
“I’m sorry, Reina,” Eri sighed. “I guess I should’ve looked over my lines by myself a bit more before asking you to help.” She pushed herself up from the floor and smiled. “Let’s do something else together. Maybe there’s something on TV we can watch.”
“No, no, absolutely not,” Reina disagreed, also getting to her feet. “We should still rehearse your play. You need practice, Kamei Eri, and I’ll help you do it.”
“But… isn’t it tiring for you this way?”
“That’s why we’re going to rehearse a scene I like,” Reina smirked. “Here, lie down.”
The kitten pushed her lover onto her bed as Eri slipped backwards into the mattress. Her expression showed obvious confusion to Reina’s sudden eagerness as she placed her head comfortably on the pillow. Reina covered Eri’s eyes, signaling her to close them, and started to recite the lines from the script.
“Here is the beautiful princess I’ve heard of, still deep in slumber.” Eri gasped softly as she recognized the dialogue. She could hear Reina giggling softly as she caressed her lover’s cheek. “But how do I wake her?”
“Reina…” Eri mumbled unconsciously.
“Shh,” the kitten hushed. “The princess can’t utter someone else’s name when the prince is right in front of her…”
The turtle swallowed hard as Reina ran her fingers through Eri’s growing hair and gently slid her hand over Eri’s eyelids.
“The prince could not stop staring at the beautiful princess,” the kitten improvised in a hushed tone. “The prince could only hope that his kiss would be the long awaited true love’s kiss for the princess…” She leaned in close as Eri could feel her breath on her lips. “Because any spell can be broken with a true love’s kiss, my princess…”
With that, Reina pressed her lips against Eri’s, kissing her slowly to make the moment last. Silence engulfed the room, except for the slight rustling of the bed sheet and the pitter-pattering of heavy rain on the window panes. Eri felt her entire body go limp as all her stress disappeared with the single kiss that she had missed for so long. Just this one interaction was enough to make all the depressing events for the past couple weeks seem like it never happened. How could such bliss exist in the same world as such pain?
Eri sighed as Reina backed away a little, her hands still covering the turtle’s eyes. Eri brought her hand up to push the kitten’s hand away. “And it was time for the princess to wake up…”
“But for some reason,” Reina interjected, “the princess did not wake up. She didn’t open her eyes like the prophecy foretold.”
Eri’s face wrinkled in confusion as Reina giggled softly again, excited by her own little remix of the fairy tale. Suddenly, Eri could feel a slight weight against her stomach as the parts of the mattress on either side of her sank down a little. She felt something warm press against her body, and when she realized who it was, her heart started to race.
“But the prince was persistent,” Reina narrated, balancing herself on top of her lover. “So he decided to continue kissing the princess over and over again until she woke up… because he loved her so much that he really wanted to be the princess’s one true love.”
Eri moaned as her lips were stolen again by familiar warmth, which eventually entered her mouth. She eagerly kissed her lover back, expressing her long overdue desire for this contact. What started out as an innocent fairy tale kiss soon turned into a heavier action. Eri rolled over until she was one on top of Reina, and the one in control. They started to make out intensely, all the while running their hands over each other’s body, heightening the excitement. But just when Reina managed to pop open one of Eri’s shirt buttons, a familiar ringtone startled the both of them. Eri broke the kiss and turned her head towards her backpack, sitting on the floor. The flash of her cell phone was visible through the most outer pocket. Not wanting any interruptions, Reina roughly pulled Eri down to kiss her again, allowing her to moan.
“Ignore it,” the kitten whispered.
However, Eri pushed herself off of her girlfriend and jostled off the bed. Reina turned to her side and whined as she glared at the turtle, who shot an apologetic smile and shrugged.
“That’s Risa-chan’s home’s ringtone,” Eri explained. “I should pick up… I owe her that much.”
Reina pouted as she sighed in defeat. She watched her girlfriend dig up her cell phone from her bag and answer it.
“Moshi-moshi? Gaki-san?” Eri’s eyes suddenly widened, as the caller turned out to be someone unexpected. “Ah, Oba-san! No, I’m not home right now… Your daughter? No, isn’t Risa-chan at home with you? … She what?! … I understand. I’ll give you a call when I find out something. Alright.”
Eri slapped her phone shut and shoved it into her skirt pocket. She turned to her girlfriend with a serious expression, which by itself was enough to make Reina sit up: she could tell something was wrong immediately by the looks of it.
“We got a problem,” Eri said. “Risa-chan is missing.”
“Gaki-san?” Reina asked in disbelief.
“That was her mother,” Eri explained. “She said she got back home from work and Risa-chan was nowhere to be seen. Her things are still gone so she hasn’t come back at all from school; she’s usually pretty responsible about getting home to make dinner for her mom but… this is really weird.”
“Well, where could she have gone in this weather?” Reina inquired. “It’s pouring outside!”
“Exactly why I’m more worried,” Eri sighed. “Let me just… let me call my classmate; maybe they know where she went after play rehearsal.”
The turtle quickly opened her cell phone and speed-dialed her classmate’s contact. The tone rang for a relatively short amount of time, which was a relief since Eri was bobbing up and down in nervousness subconsciously.
“Ah, Konkon!” Eri said. “Un, it’s me, Eri… Hey, did something happen to Risa-chan today during rehearsal? … Well, other than getting yelled at by Nakky… anything else? Did she seem upset or something? Um… do you know where she went after school? … Okay, I got it… Yeah, I’ll practice too… Ja nee.”
Eri shut the phone and plopped down on the bed beside her girlfriend, groaning in frustration. Reina raised an eyebrow. “Well?”
“Apparently, Nakky told Risa-chan she could go home early so she did…” Eri answered, “but she obviously didn’t. Nothing seemed to be wrong during rehearsals either, though.”
“Is there anybody else you can think of who can help?” Reina questioned.
“… Well, I kind of want to call Takahashi-sensei…” Eri said hesitantly, “but I don’t know her phone number.”
“Oh, I have it.”
The turtle stared at her girlfriend with wide eyes as Reina hopped off her bed to grab her cell phone off her desk. Only when she returned to the bed to sit down beside her lover did she spot her shocked expression.
“Don’t look at me like that,” Reina said, feeling as though she was being accused of a crime.
“How can I not look at you like this?” Eri exhaled sharply. “You have my homeroom teacher’s cell phone number! How did that happen?”
“It was when we were visiting Gaki-san’s house,” Reina explained. “I asked her for it, so we exchanged contact information. I have her email too, if you want.”
“Um… no thanks,” Eri mumbled. It was beyond awkward to have so many contact methods with a teacher. “Can we just… try calling her then?”
Reina willingly offered her phone to the turtle. “It’s all yours.”
** ** **
Takahashi Ai filled her glass up to the very rim again and gulped it down without breathing even once. As she exhaled roughly and put her cup down on the table with a “clack”, she grabbed the larger bottle beside it and refilled the glass relentlessly. After she downed the second portion, Ai wiped her mouth with her sleeve and coughed a little, choking from drinking too fast.
It really wasn’t like her to drink so much like this in one night, especially while she was sagging in her chair in the kitchen with a whole crate of beer sitting on the floor next to her. Not like it mattered too much anyway, since Ai wasn’t the type to get drunk so easily. Although she had already finished two bottles, she wasn’t even nearing the “tipsy” level yet. Still, for a woman who had only drunk healthy alcohol for most of her lifetime, continuously downing beer alone in the kitchen in less than an hour was certainly not her style. She couldn’t remember the last time she drank so much… Perhaps back in the days when she was still in a gang? Probably.
What had gone wrong? All she ever wanted to do was keep Risa happy and now, this happens. Why was it that while Ai was trying to keep her lover safe, all she could do was hurt her? It was almost ironic that she was trying to be protective of Risa from other things when she herself was truly the source of all of the pain. How could she have let this happen?
Ai quickly tipped over the beer bottle over her cup before discovering it was empty. Sighing, she grabbed another bottle from the crate beside her chair and popped the cap open. She was about to pour it in the cup, but she made a split-decision to just drink straight from the bottle instead. After gulping down as much as she could, Ai quickly wiped her mouth again and dropped her head on the table, moaning. She wasn’t drunk yet; she was very aware of her surroundings, actually. But the weight on her heart was enough to tire her out and make her eyes close in need of sleep.
What was she going to do now? Everything Risa said was true; she had been dishonest about a lot of things. But how could she make amends? Giving up was not even an option; Ai knew very well that she probably wouldn’t be able to live without Risa in her life anymore. And she knew Risa loved her too… It must’ve taken her a lot of control to stay away from Ai that long. That girl was truly determined to solve the problem at hand first and then let life go on. Or at least, have Ai solve her problem…
Groaning, the woman dragged herself out of her chair, almost tripping on the beer crate in the process, and shuffled towards the bathroom. She had half the mind to just lie down in bed and fall asleep immediately, although it was barely seven o’clock, but she decided against it. Her conscience would never free her of the guilt if she went to bed without washing up first. It was part of her own little “live-life-the-right-way” deal. In fact, she had been determined to get drunk tonight, yet her inner-conscience had stopped her before she drank enough to end up with a hangover the next morning. After all, she still had work.
As Ai sluggishly brushed her teeth, the ringtone of her cell phone filled her apartment home. She blinked a couple times, wondering who it could be calling her at this time. Deciding that she wanted to take the call, Ai quickly rinsed her mouth and dashed out to her living room where her cell phone was sitting on the coffee table. She checked the number: Tanaka Reina. Well, that was certainly unexpected.
“Moshi-moshi?” Ai answered, trying to sound as clear and normal as possible. “Tanaka-san?”
“Sensei, it’s me!” a familiar voice shrilled. “It’s Kamei, Kamei Eri!”
Ai raised an eyebrow. “… Kamei-san? Um… did you need something…?” Nothing was more awkward than getting a phone call from one’s very own student. Their parent calling was more likely. But the student herself…
“Is Risa-chan possibly with you?” Eri asked quickly.
“No, she isn’t,” Ai sighed, hearing the drop in her voice. “Why do you ask?”
“Risa-chan is missing!”
“… What?”
“Risa-chan’s mom came home and saw she never returned from school. None of the kids in our class know where she went either! She just disappeared!”
Ai blinked furiously, trying to make sense of what she had heard. Where could that girl have gone? Did she not promptly return home after speaking with Ai at the school gate? Why would she stay out during weather like this, in the heavy rain? Unless... something else happened to her…?
“I’m going to go look for her,” Ai said before hanging up without hearing an answer. Without even bothering to put a coat on over the thin shirt and sweatpants she was wearing, Ai shoved her feet into her sneakers and ran out of the house. No thoughts were able to process in her head anymore. All she could think of was finding Risa, and bringing her back safely. That was the only thing that mattered now.
Ai could feel the heavy rain battering her body as soon as she stepped outside of the apartment building. Ignoring the awful weather, she quickly ran out into the streets where the crowd got a bit thicker. There were less people on the street than usual, considering the weather, but some citizens who felt the need to go outside for whatever reason had their full rain gear, with a jacket and an umbrella. Some people stared at the woman who was only wearing a thing shirt and pants with sneakers, but she didn’t care. There was a more urgent matter at hand.
While running in the rain, Ai felt as though her head was slowly getting cleared of the alcohol. Even if Risa had stayed out this late and had refused to return home, she wouldn’t have gone too far from her own neighborhood. So Ai would have to leave downtown where she lived and travel in the direction of the school to find her. That was her best bet as of now.
Since she didn’t bother to bring anything with her, including her wallet, Ai just ran straight through the bus stops she usually rode through on work days to get to school. Her legs started to ache but she had no desire to stop. Her clothes got heavier and heavier with the wetness as the temperature dropped significantly since the warm afternoon. Yet, Ai continued to run. She passed by many familiar stores, looking around on the streets for a familiar figure.
Then, she saw her. Right in front of her, with her back turned. Everybody else was either running without umbrellas or walking with umbrellas, yet this person was different. Just like Ai, she was the only person on the streets walking without an umbrella and getting completely drenched. Short hair, school uniform, narrow shoulders… Ai would recognize that figure anywhere.
** ** **
What am I doing…?
Risa slowly moved alone, step by step, feeling the rain weigh her body down more than usual. Raindrops trickled down her cheeks and arms and every other part of her body that showed skin. She felt too exhausted to even think anymore, yet the same thoughts replayed over and over in her head like a movie.
Why had she not gone back home? After having another argument with her lover, Risa had found herself breaking curfew and ditching her chores at home, just to amble aimlessly in the streets. Before she knew it, it was past dinner time and rain had started to pour mercilessly. The people in the streets stared at her and whispered amongst themselves. They had probably inferred that she ran away from home or something. Risa couldn’t help but laugh bitterly to herself, wondering who would run away from home in their school uniform.
Risa looked up into the dark night sky, letting the rain splatter her face. She didn’t know what to think anymore. Perhaps she should’ve just accepted Ai back like a good little girlfriend. But if she had done that, the same problem would’ve arisen sooner or later. She had intended to fix the problem at hand to prevent future consequences, yet it seemed as though their future was being destroyed by addressing this issue. She wanted to be closer to Takahashi-sensei, not break up with her. Was she really just ruining it for herself? For the both of them?
Then, Risa felt a different kind of rain trail down her cheeks. Unlike the cold wetness that enveloped her body, this rain felt hot on her cheeks, and traveled endlessly. Her breath hitched as she started to hiccup, her chest beating up and down rapidly. Her eyes felt like they were burning, until she lost control of herself and started to cry into her hands. She felt so ashamed, crying like this in public, yet she couldn’t stop herself. A strong sense of anxiety and fear had just hit her, fear that she may lose the one thing that had made her truly happy in her life. The one person she wanted to be with forever. All the joy that had been created so far… it felt as though everything was about to be lost.
Suddenly, Risa felt something curl around her waist, holding her tightly. Something warm was embracing her, something that she was familiar with. Something hot breathed onto her ear, inhaling and exhaling relentlessly. Risa struggled a little, yet the embrace was stronger, and somehow even comforting. This warmth… it was something she had missed.
“Baka…” a tired voice whispered. “You’ll catch a cold staying out in the rain like this…”
Risa sobbed quietly as took a hold of the arms around her. “Sensei… too…”
“Idiots don’t catch colds,” Ai responded, chuckling softly. She tightened her embrace as though she was afraid of losing her love again. “I… am so… sorry…”
Me too… I’m sorry, too…
Risa continued to cry out the tears that had broken out as Ai whispered words of guilt and apology over and over again. She wished to give a reply, yet her throat was all blocked up that no wound escaped from her lips. But the firm grip on Ai’s arm and the unusually hot “rain” that dropped on Ai’s hand was enough to let her know what Risa was feeling. That was all they needed.

Can I get a "Aww"? :wub:
:byebye: :sleep:
-
I'll give it to you: AWWWW!! :cathappy: I (almost, you have to work your way back up :twisted:) forgive you for all the TakaGaki drama you've thrown at us ^^ cute~~~~ :wub:
Thank you for the update!! -huggles- :byebye:
-
Awwwwwwwwwww :wub: Its feelings time. Get everything out there. Perhaps now we'll know more about Ai's mysterious past?
And why does tanakame always get interrupted! :tama-mad: They need their rehearsing/lovin' time too.
Thanks for a supa quick updpate hehe :twothumbs
-
Hmm I wonder though if this sorts anything out between the two of them though, they still ahve not tackled the problem that caused this in the first place......
-
Surprise update! :mon roll: It's currently around 4:30 in the morning. :O Why am I still up? :? I was running out of things to do, but you fixed that problem. :twothumbs
**sighs** Aho Eri.. :O Remember the script already, omg! XD I swear, this girl! :lol: TanaKame heating things up, I see. :inlove:
My reaction to Risa-gong-missing was: Gaki-san, you baka! :frustrated: Just making things worst! :mon pissed: But then how Ai-chan came and embraced her and all that, I just melted in the puddle of cuteness. :mon cute: :mon inluv: :luvluv2: Finally, they made up and both are sorry, which satisfied my TakaGaki hunger very much. :mon corn:
You're getting a lot of "Awwwwww"s from me, that's for sure. :wub:
And about what started the drama, I think all that needs to happen is Ai-chan just being honest to herself and Risa. Then problem solved. Or Risa can be more understanding about Ai-chan being affected by how she lived her past and slowly work that out together. I don't know.. :nervous With them making up in the rain, doesn't that mean that Ai-chan is already being honest to herself? (eh..Sorry for going on and on.. :sweatdrop: )

Chapter 79
Reina was getting impatient.
At first, Eri had been the only visibly impatient one in the room, as she was pacing around everywhere mumbling to herself about how she should be outside at that very moment searching for her missing friend. Yet the irregular pattern that the turtle was trotting in managed to increase Reina’s own frustration and the kitten found herself subconsciously bouncing up and down nervously while she was sitting on the bed. Apparently, impatience was contagious now.
“This doesn’t feel right, Reina,” Eri said, repeating the same thing she’d been saying over and over again. “I-I should be looking for Risa-chan right now. She could be out there in the rain all alone… What if something happened to her?”
“I’m sure she’s safe, Eri, calm down,” Reina sighed. “Your teacher is looking for her, right? It’s only a matter of time. We wouldn’t really be helping by going into a storm and getting sick later on.”
“But… I can’t help it,” Eri moaned, bobbing up and down. “Why hasn’t Sensei called? She should’ve called by now! Really…”
“Eri, come here,” Reina said finally, motioning for the turtle. “Sit right here, next to me.”
“I can’t, Reina, I can’t stay still and do nothing,” Eri responded.
“Just do what I say, Eri, you’re making me dizzy,” Reina said firmly, patting the spot next to her on the bed. “Come here.”
After hesitating for a while, the turtle obediently skittered over to her girlfriend and plopped down. Reina put her arms around the nervous girl and pulled her close until Eri’s head snuggled comfortably on her shoulder. Eri seemed to calm down a bit in her lover’s hold as she took her time to slow her breathing.
“Everything’s going to be fine,” Reina murmured, rocking her girlfriend like a child. “I’m sure Gaki-san will be found soon enough…” Suddenly, the kitten’s cell phone vibrated once shortly and stopped. Reina grinned. “Speak of the angel.”
Eri quickly sat up and snatched the ex-yankii’s phone from her hands. She flipped it open to discover a message from her teacher.
I found her.
~Ai
“That’s it?!” Eri shrilled, jumping up in rage. “That’s all she’s going to say? ‘I found her’?! She could at least tell me why she went missing or what happened or… or… something!”
“Eri, calm down!” Reina commanded. “Here, sit.”
“But—”
“SIT GIRL.”
Overtaken by the charisma in Reina’s voice, Eri immediately dropped back down on the bed, staring at her girlfriend with wide eyes. Reina sighed and put her arm around the turtle again, placating both of them in the process.
“Now,” Reina started, “since Takahashi-san sent you a text letting you know that Gaki-san was found, that means Takahashi-san must be with her right now, correct?”
“… Yes…”
“And if there was a problem with Gaki-san, like she was injured or something, don’t you think Takahashi-san would’ve let us know in a more urgent manner?”
“… I suppose…”
“So the conclusion can only be that both of them are well, safe, and together. Right?”
“… I guess you’re right.” Eri let out a deep sigh of relief as Reina gently patted her back, smiling. “I’m just nervous I guess… Maybe I shouldn’t be saying this, but Risa-chan and Sensei have been having some… issues lately.”
“Well, if Takahashi-san cared enough to run into a storm to look for Gaki-san, this issue must not be so terrible, right?” Reina reassured.
“Yeah, I suppose you’re right,” Eri agreed. “I just hope everything becomes resolved between those two…”
** ** **
Out of all the awkward situations she had been in so far during her 17 years of life, Risa was sure this topped them all. After all, she was standing in the home of her girlfriend, who she was currently supposed to be in a fight with, dripping wet from head to toe. It was almost embarrassing how Risa had made it seem as though she had run away from home yet she was caught so easily. Not like she was really running away. It had just seemed like it. And now, it seemed like her attempt had failed. That was awkward.
What was even more awkward was the silence. After Ai had hugged Risa like that, she had said absolutely nothing the whole entire way back home. She had held on to her hand tightly, as though she was afraid of losing her again, but she didn’t say anything else. She seemed to be deep in thought, as though she was calculating something. And all the while, Risa had just let herself be led away to her teacher’s apartment. When they were in the elevator, she had briefly seen her teacher text someone whom she discovered was Eri by peeking at the screen. Seeing her friend’s name had made her feel a pang of guilt for worrying her, yet she somehow didn’t feel the desire to directly contact her. If she was with Ai, she was safe. That was the logic.
As she took off her wet shoes, Risa heard her teacher close the door behind her and lock it. The bean felt as though she should step into the home and move out of the way, yet she couldn’t get herself to step beyond the shoe rack area. Seeming to read her mind, Ai stepped around the younger girl and entered her home first.
“Wait here,” she instructed.
Risa obeyed silently and stood completely still in place, trying not to accidently flick water droplets over any of her girlfriend’s shoes. Ai was back in a flash with a towel which she wiped the floor with to erase the wet footsteps she had created. She then laid it out in front of the bean for her to step on.
“Just take off your socks and wipe your feet for now,” Ai directed. “You can dry off completely in the bathroom.”
Still feeling a little awkward, Risa nodded silently and did as she was told. She pulled off the wet socks that had clung onto her skin like glue and stomped her feet on the towel. She then picked it up and shuffled towards the bathroom. It came as a surprise when Ai followed in with her and shut the door. She opened a cabinet and took out a clean towel to use.
“Here,” she said. She slung the towel over Risa’s head and started to dry her hair, ruffling it mercilessly.
“S-sensei!” Risa protested, grabbing Ai’s wrist. “I can do it myself. You should dry yourself too.”
“Alright,” Ai nodded. She took out another fresh towel and started to work on her own hair, squeezing whatever moisture was left in her long brown locks. Risa continued to wipe down her arms and legs, trying to get as dry as possible. When both girls dropped the used towels on the floor, Ai spoke up again. “Take off your uniform.”
Risa unconsciously slapped her hand against her chest, covering the first button. “EH?!”
“I said, take of your clothes,” Ai repeated, matter-of-factly.
“W-w-why?” Risa stammered, turning red.
“You have to wear that uniform to school tomorrow,” Ai explained. “I’m going to throw it in the dryer.”
“Um… I’ll be fine. Please don’t worry about me.” There’s no way I’m stripping in front of Sensei!
“Don’t be ridiculous, Gaki-san,” Ai said, rolling her eyes. “You have to dry your uniform. Either you take it off right now or I take it off for you. Your choice.”
“… Okay, okay…” Risa mumbled, embarrassed.
Hesitantly, she turned her back to her teacher and slowly untied the ribbon around her collar with a simple pull of a strand. Taking a deep breath, she proceeded to pop her buttons open, one by one. She continued down all the way until she slipped the white linen shirt off her shoulders. She could feel her lover’s eyes on her bare back, and as much as she tried to ignore it, it wasn’t an easy task. Dropping the shirt to the floor, Risa moved onto her skirt. Slowly, she pulled down the side zipper and let it fall down to the floor as well. Breathing out shakily, she hugged herself in an effort to keep away from the chilly air that surrounded her body. Suddenly, Risa gasped as her teacher unclasped her bra from the back. She caught the undergarment before it could slip through her arms and covered her chest, feeling her cheeks getting hotter from embarrassment.
“Throw this in the laundry basket too,” Ai whispered into her lover’s ear. “It’s soaked… it’ll make you colder.”
“… Um… O-okay…”
Risa could barely hear her teacher’s voice even though she was speaking right into her ear, for the thumping of her own heartbeat was loud enough to bury all other sounds. And that beating only got louder when Risa felt the warmth of her teacher’s embrace touching her. Her body stiffened in shock at first, but soon relaxed as Ai leaned her chin on the younger girl’s shoulder. There was no reason to be afraid of Takahashi-sensei and there never will be, so there was no reason for Risa to act so distant as well. She knew that.
“Thank god, you’re safe,” Ai murmured, letting out a sigh of relief. Her arms around the bean tightened as if to confirm that she was still there. “If something had happened to you… I don’t know what I would’ve done. Thank god, I found you…”
Risa blushed, feeling guilty yet happy at the same time. She felt terrible about worrying her loved one like that, yet she was happy that her disappearance had such a huge impact on her. Ai had fought through the heavy rain despite her own risk for getting sick to find her. Despite the terrible things Risa had said to her before, Ai had still held onto her. She hadn’t given up. Although it seemed neither of them knew the solution to their problem as of yet, at least both of them mutually felt that they could never give up on their relationship.
“I’m sorry,” Risa apologized quietly. “It was… very irresponsible of me to just disappear like that.”
“Damn right, you were,” Ai chuckled, hugging her girlfriend even tighter. “You’ve caused a lot of trouble for everyone, you big brat.”
“Yeah, I’ll admit, I was the immature one this time around,” Risa laughed softly. She felt the awkwardness dissipate as both she and her lover laughed together. She felt grateful towards Ai for letting the atmosphere return to the relaxed and comfortable air that they always had between them. She felt home in Ai’s arms.
“But it was my fault, too,” the older woman sighed. “And I intend to handle the problem from now on instead of avoiding it.”
“… How are you going to do that?” Risa turned her head a little to hear the answer.
Ai smiled to herself, leaving the curious bean hanging on to her own question. She kissed Risa’s cheek and patted her head. “Maybe we should just take a nice hot shower right now,” she suggested, avoiding the question. “So we can make sure neither of us catches a cold.”
“Sh-shower?” Risa stuttered in shock. “B-both of us?” She felt her entire body heat up; the places where Ai’s arm was touching started to burn.
“Yeah, you can use this bathroom. I’ll use the one in the master bedroom.”
Risa laughed nervously when the realization hit her. “… Right! The other bathroom… of course…” I feel so stupid for thinking she wanted to take a shower together… Wait, this is a good thing, right? I should be relieved she didn’t mean it that way! What am I thinking?!
“Could it be… that you wanted us to take a shower… together?” Ai grinned mischievously. “Maa~ you’re so dirty-minded, Gaki-san!”
“Don’t say such things!” Risa yelled, flustered. “Go take your own shower! Go on, out!”
The bean managed to quickly push her teacher out of the bathroom and shut the door. She could still hear Ai’s laughter as it slowly disappeared into the next room. Letting out a sigh of relief, Risa slipped down to the floor as her legs weakened. She could still feel the heat in her body, turning her face red.
That Sensei… Risa thought, she really never changes… and what did she mean when she said she was going to handle the problem?
Sighing, Risa decided to just do what she was told and stripped off what was left of her clothes. She then proceeded to enter the bathtub and draw the curtains. The hot water showering down on her body relaxed all the tense muscles that had knotted throughout the day. She didn’t want to use up too much water so she quickly lathered her body in soap and shampooed her hair at the same time. But when she let the water rain down on her again, the steam in the bathtub only made her loosen up more, increasing her desire to stay under the shower for a little longer. Soon enough, Risa found herself just standing in the hot water with her eyes closed, as she imagined the warm steam massaging her aching muscles. All her surroundings blurred as her senses dulled, which almost prevented her from hearing Ai come in.
“Gaki-san? Are you done yet?”
“Huh? Oh, um, no, not yet, sorry!” Risa unconsciously put her arms around herself, covering her upper body. She could see Ai’s silhouette on the other side of the shower curtain, stepping over the threshold.
“It’s alright,” she chuckled softly. “I’m going to leave a change of clothes for you on the towel hanger, okay?”
“Um, okay!” Risa called out. She watched the silhouette disappear with the click of the door. She let out a deep sigh of relief and quickly rinsed off her body for the final time, deciding that it was better to just get out as soon as possible.
After shutting the water off, Risa dried herself with a large towel and stepped onto the cool tiles. The mirrors had fogged up so she wiped it to reveal a blurry reflection of herself. Her eyes were still a little bit puffed up from the crying but it wasn’t too bad. She was pretty sure she looked even worse before when she was in the soaked uniform. The embarrassment of being seen by her girlfriend in that state hit harder now that she was in her right mind.
Tossing the used towel in the laundry basket with the rest of her uniform, Risa grabbed her underwear and the shirt that was slung over the towel rack. It was an oversized white t-shirt that barely covered her butt. She looked around for a pair of shorts or sweatpants or something but there was nothing else wearable in the bathroom. Had her teacher forgotten to give her pajama bottoms?
Blushing, Risa pulled the t-shirt down as far is it would go to cover up her underwear and left the steamy bathroom. She turned into the kitchen and spotted her teacher, drinking a glass of water by the open refrigerator. Risa suddenly choked on her own breath of air when she realized what Ai was wearing… or rather what she wasn’t. The young teacher was clad in a tight tank-top that accentuated her figure, which even most teenage girls could only dream about having, along with just her underwear. Her long wet hair stretched down her back, left to dry naturally in the warm air. Risa swallowed hard as her eyes automatically dropped down to Ai’s calves and slowly back up to her luscious thighs. And that perfectly shaped butt was just… oh god…
Suddenly, Ai turned to spot her young girlfriend, whose face turned bright red as if she had been caught in the middle of a heinous act. “Oh, you’re out. I didn’t even hear you.”
Ai smiled as she drank up what was left of her water and placed the glass in the sink. She then leaned against the counter and crooked her finger at Risa, beckoning for her to come closer. Hesitantly, the bean fidgeted towards her lover, still pushing the t-shirt down to hide her lack of shorts. When she got close enough, however, Ai constricted her arms around Risa’s waist and pulled her close until there was no space between them.
“Stop squirming around,” she chuckled. “Why are you so uneasy? Relax.”
“W-why are you dressed like that, Sensei?” Risa asked, casting her eyes to the side. If that’s being dressed at all…
“I didn’t want you to be lonely,” the teacher said matter-of-factly. “You’re not wearing pants so I’m not either.”
“Yeah, speaking of pants,” Risa mumbled, “may I borrow some?”
“No, you may not.” Ai grinned as she watched her young lover’s cheeks turn pink.
“W-why not?”
“Because I don’t want you to wear anything else besides that shirt,” Ai smirked. “I kind of like seeing you like this. To be quite honest, I’ve always wanted to see what was under that uniform skirt… I think the school should be sued for making you wear that; it’s a crime to hide your kind of legs, Gaki-san.” She ran her fingertips up and down gently against Risa’s soft thighs, allowing her to shudder.
“You’re such a pervert, Sensei!” the bean remarked, her embarrassment rising tenfold. She imagined me without my uniform?!
“Only when it comes to you, my love,” Ai crooned, kissing her girlfriend’s forehead.
“Since when?!” Risa raised an eyebrow in confusion. “You’re the one who always holds back, saying that we should wait a little longer. Where did that philosophy go?”
“Just because I don’t do anything, doesn’t mean I don’t dream about it,” Ai replied. “I’ve told you before that my desires are no different than your own, didn’t I?”
“Yeah, but… you’ve never really expressed that desire like this before,” Risa said. “You just seem… different, Sensei.”
“Different, how?”
“I don’t know… just a bit more daring… open…”
“Honest?”
Risa’s eyes widened as realization slowly washed over her. Ai smiled before she released the bean from her arms and walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. She sat down on the sofa and motioned for Risa to join her, patting the spot beside her. Blinking a couple times, Risa obediently shuffled into the living room and took her place next to her lover. Ai then put her arm around her young girlfriend again and the bean’s head rest on her shoulder. She stroked her short hair a couple times before kissing her head.
“I understand how you feel about our situation right now,” Ai started. “And I also understand that you don’t want to avoid the problem and let it solve itself, because it’s not going to. And I realize I’ll just have to change and be more honest, like you said.”
“Easier said than done,” Risa mumbled.
“True,” Ai chuckled. “But what else can I do? I’ll just have to try everything I can in my power to be more open. I’m going to give it my best, Gaki-san, I promise. The fact is, I love you too much to give up on us. And if you feel the same way, I hope you’ll have faith in me and give our relationship another chance.”
“… There’s no such thing as another chance for our relationship,” Risa said quietly, “because I never gave up in the first place.” She looked up at her lover with a small smile, receiving a huge grin in return. “I guess… all I really did was rant about solving the problem without even bringing up a real solution. And I just made it harder for you… so I’m sorry, Sensei.”
“No, you don’t need to apologize,” Ai sighed, leaning her head on top of Risa’s. “I never see my own faults clearly, so I need a nagging girlfriend like you. You’re perfect for me.”
“… Am I supposed to take that as a compliment?” Risa asked, frowning.
“It’d be nice if you did,” Ai laughed.
“Fine, I’ll let that one go, then,” Risa grinned.
The couple’s pleasant conversation was interrupted by a soft beeping from Ai’s cell phone on the coffee table. It indicated the current time as 9 o’clock. The bean gasped as she quickly sat up.
“Oh, no!” she yelled. “I didn’t realize it was so late, I, I have to get home! Mama’s going to kill me!”
“Gaki-san, relax!” Ai laughed. “I already called your mother while you were in the shower. She knows you’re here.”
“Really?” Risa raised an eyebrow. “What did you tell her?”
“That you’re sleeping over at my place tonight.”
“… I’m sleeping over at your place tonight?” The bean cocked her head to the side in confusion.
“Of course,” Ai shrugged. “Be sensible, Gaki-san, you can’t go home alone in a storm like this. It’s raining like pistols out there.”
“I guess you’re right…” Risa nodded. “What did Mama say? Did she say anything embarrassing to you?” She could never be too sure with a mother like her own.
Ai licked her lips before biting down on it. Her face revealed confusion as well as uncertainty. “Well…”
>>>>>>>>>>
“Hello? Mrs. Niigaki?” Ai addressed politely. “This is Takahashi Ai, your daughter’s homeroom teacher?”
“Ah, Takahashi-sensei!” a frantic voice greeted. “Um, now is actually not such a good time—”
“No, Mrs. Niigaki, I actually called to inform you that I found your daughter.”
“You did?!” It was hard to believe this excited voice belonged to a middle-aged woman. “Where is she? Where’s my Risa?”
“She’s with me at my apartment,” Ai answered. “She’s actually taking a shower right now so she doesn’t catch a cold. She was drenched from the rain and my place was closer than your home… It was a quickest way to avoid the storm, I hope you understand.”
“Oh, of course I do!” Mama Gaki exclaimed. “Thank goodness she’s safe… She’s not hurt anywhere, is she?”
“No, she’s perfectly intact, Mrs. Niigaki,” Ai assured. “Aside from that, I think that it’s best if she spends the night here. It’s impossible for her to go uptown in this weather, I believe.”
“I couldn’t agree more, Sensei,” Mama Gaki agreed. “If it’s not too much trouble, please let my daughter stay for just a night. I’ll treat you to a nice dinner next time!”
“That sounds wonderful, Mrs. Niigaki,” Ai smiled. “You have nothing to worry about. Have a good night—”
“Oh, wait, Sensei!”
“Yes?”
“You haven’t told my daughter that I know of the relationship between you two, have you?”
“No, I haven’t.” Ai wrinkled her eyebrows a little. In truth, even she herself had almost forgotten that her girlfriend’s mother was aware of her true status as Risa’s lover before she was her teacher. It was hard to believe this lady was almost too chill about her only daughter stay overnight with her 6-years-senior girlfriend.
“I just wanted to let you know,” Mama Gaki said slowly, “I… never really gave my daughter… ‘the talk’. Do you get what I mean?”
“I think so…” Where is she going with this?
“It just never came up between us,” Mama Gaki continued. “I was always the childish one and Risa was always the adult in our family so… it didn’t seem right for me to try to teach her, you know?”
“I suppose…”
“But I guess it’s my mistake. Just because Risa is more mature than other girls her age, it doesn’t mean she’s going to pull knowledge out of thin air.”
“That’s true…”
“So, Sensei,” Mama Gaki said in her childlike voice, “if my daughter doesn’t know certain things, please don’t blame it on her.”
“… I don’t think I follow you, Mrs. Niigaki…” Ai mumbled. Is she saying what I think she’s saying?
“She’s still so innocent,” Mama Gaki sighed dramatically. “But I’m sure she’ll learn to grow with you! You seem like such an experienced young woman, Takahashi-sensei!”
“I do?” Ai raised an eyebrow, reminiscing back to the time when Risa also mentioned the same thing. She wasn’t really… that experienced… or whatever… Was it even conventional that a mother of a teenage daughter would actually want her daughter to “grow” in that aspect?
“Of course!” Mama Gaki said brightly. “So please take care of my ignorant daughter for tonight! Oh, and stay safe!”
Ai blushed. “Wait a minute! Mrs. Niigaki—”
“Have a good night now!” the mother giggled. “Toodles!”
<<<<<<<<<<
“Your mother is… interesting,” Ai said slowly, forcing a smile.
“She said something stupid, didn’t she?” Risa groaned. “What did she say? Tell me!”
“No, no, it was nothing like that,” Ai denied. “She just showed concerned for your well-being, that’s all.”
This was technically true, since Mama Gaki did worry about her daughter “inexperience”… It was just that any other mother would’ve showed that concern in a different matter… say… the fact that her daughter was spending an entire night in her girlfriend’s apartment with just the two of them, together, alone. A lot of things could happen in one night; apparently, Mama Gaki was all for it.
“She definitely said something weird, I can tell!” Risa growled. “Come on, spill it!”
“Will you relax and just trust me?” Ai grinned, smoothing her expression to completely hide the truth. “She said to make sure not to catch a cold from the rain and to get some sleep. It seemed to me that she was terribly worried about you.”
“Well, can’t blame her for that,” Risa sighed gloomily. “I shouldn’t have just taken off like that… I’ll have to apologize to Mama.”
“Good choice,” Ai smiled. “I’m sure your mother will forgive you. But for now…” Ai embraced her girlfriend tightly as Risa gasped from the lack of oxygen, “you’ll just have to put up with me!”
“You’re such a baby!” Risa huffed, frowning. But she didn’t resist the hug nor complain about it anymore, so Ai decided that her lover didn’t hate the attention too much.
“You just watch me,” the teacher vowed. “I’m going to spoil you so much from now on, and you’re going to like it!”
“I doubt it, Sensei,” Risa muttered. “So do you have a game plan or something for this… honesty policy of yours?”
Ai sighed, relaxing her hold on the younger girl and settling her own head on Risa’s shoulder. “Frankly, I don’t know what it means to be more honest,” she admitted. “I’ve always thought I was a pretty open person but evidently, that’s not true so… I’m just going to use words.”
“Words?”
“Un, kotoba,” Ai nodded. “I’m going to tell you everything about myself regarding you: times I think about you, things that make me happy or sad or angry, places I want to take you… lots of things. I’m going to empty my heart and soul out on you.”
“Is this how I’m going to learn the mystery that is Takahashi Ai?” Risa grinned. “There are still a lot of things I don’t know about you.”
“Not for long!” Ai said, lifting her head to wink at her girlfriend. “In fact, you’re going to start to get to know me right now.”
“I’m all ears,” the bean smiled. This game plan definitely didn’t sound so bad; she was so used to her teacher never directly answering her questions that maybe this turn of events could lead to something positive for once.
“Let’s see… what can I talk about first?” Ai wondered to herself, taking Risa’s hand into her own. “During the classes where I see you, it takes me three times as much concentration to stay on task.”
“Only three?” Risa pouted, teasing her lover.
“Sometimes more, when I see you socializing with other students,” Ai smiled. “I get protective over what’s mine.”
“I’ve realized,” Risa chuckled.
“What else…” the teacher murmured. “When I see you without your iinchou-mask on, it makes me happy. I find the blush in your cheek undeniably adorable. I am absolutely jealous of Kamei-san, who will be your princess in the upcoming play. It almost makes me want to steal you away for the show but… I won’t do that, because I know how hard my students have worked on it.”
“I like to stay composed, like you,” Risa smiled. “Even though it’s annoying sometimes, I like it when you make me blush… And I hope you know you’re still the only one for me, despite the play.”
“Of course I know that,” Ai shrugged. “I still get jealous, though.”
“And that makes me kind of happy,” the bean said smugly, “in a cruel yet innocent way.”
“I see no innocence in that, Gaki-san,” Ai laughed. “Hm… one day, I want to take you back to Fukui and show you what I was like in the past. I don’t want to hide anything from you, and I won’t be ashamed of anything in front of you.”
“I’d really like that,” Risa nodded, smiling sincerely.
“Sometime soon, I want to take you out on a regular date,” Ai grinned. “Do something that a normal teenage girl would do with her lover. I want to give you those kinds of memories, since I’ll be taking everything else away from you one day.”
“I don’t think that way…” Risa murmured. “Even if I’m losing a lot of things… I get you in exchange. That’ll be enough.”
“You may be okay with all this,” Ai said softly, “but I’ll sleep better at night knowing I tried my best for you. So follow along, okay?”
Risa nodded in approval, smiling at her lover. Ai cared so much for her to even worry about the memories she will attain. Perhaps it was her guilt that made her care so much for Risa’s life as a youth. Or maybe it was even her own regret that she herself was not able to have the life of a normal teenage girl when she was Risa’s age. Whatever the true reason was, Risa felt grateful knowing that Ai was attentive towards her in this way.
“Sensei,” Risa started suddenly, an idea striking in her head, “you said you’re going to be honest about everything, right?”
“That’s right.”
“So you’re not going to hold back on me anymore, right?” Risa asked. “In feelings, confessions, desires… everything?”
“That’s correct.”
Risa pursed her lips together as she gazed at her lover with determined eyes. Without further warning, she leaned forward and kissed her unsuspecting girlfriend, eliciting a soft gasp from her. But when Risa’s tongue entered her mouth to kiss her more passionately, Ai let out a low moan and kissed her back. Slowly, Risa pushed her girlfriend back until she fell on top of her with their bodies pressing against each other, still making out heatedly. Ai wrapped her arms around Risa’s waist and attempted to take the lead like she always did, but she found it difficult this time around to make her young lover give in. Then, Risa pulled away slightly, just enough to break their kiss, and breathed slowly as if to calm herself.
“You want me as much as I want you, right?” she whispered.
“Probably even more, but that’s the idea,” Ai smiled.
“So if you’re giving into that desire as well…” Risa said slowly, “does that mean we can… you know…”
“Sleep together?” Ai guessed.
Risa blushed. “Yeah, that.”
“Gosh, it almost seems like that’s all you think about, Gaki-san,” Ai complained sarcastically. “Is that all you want from me? Good sex? I could probably make it better than just ‘good’, but—”
“That’s not what I meant!” Risa interrupted, her cheeks turning into apple red. “I just meant that… we just… I mean…”
“Yeah, yeah, I know what you mean, I’m just teasing,” Ai laughed, cupping her innocent girlfriend’s face. “I just wanted to see you blush like that. Kawaii~”
“Mou, Sensei!” Risa scolded, huffing.
“To answer your question,” Ai grinned, turning the bean’s attention to the original matter at hand, “I suppose it does mean I won’t wait anymore. I’m not going to lie and convince myself that I can be patient for this. I want you, and that’s that. Every time I kiss you, I imagine us going even further… and I don’t want to torture myself any longer.”
“Sensei…”
“But not tonight,” Ai sighed. “I don’t think tonight is such a good idea.”
Risa blinked a couple times in confusion. “Why not tonight?”
Ai bit down on her lips. “Remember when you asked me some time ago, about my preferences… and fetishes… and stuff?”
“Yes… you said you didn’t have anything particular.”
“Well, I think I just realized ‘wet hair’ might be one of them,” Ai chuckled, touching her girlfriend’s damp fringes. “Plus, you just attacked me which kind of turned me on a bit… so tonight isn’t good.”
“… I’m still not following,” Risa mumbled. Didn’t everything Ai say just give more precedence to tonight?
“If we do it right now,” Ai explained, “… I don’t think I’ll be able to stop until tomorrow morning. You just look so… tempting right now. And that’s not very good since it’ll be your first time and all…”
So that’s it. Sensei was just being protective again, being the mature one. But her clear eyes told Risa that this wasn’t just an excuse; it was the actual truth. She could tell how much Ai wanted her at the moment yet she was holding back, not for the previous bogus reasons she had before, but because she really wanted this to be perfect for the both of them.
Smiling, Risa kissed her girlfriend in the sweetest way possible, moving her lips slowly. Ai didn’t respond but she sighed in contentment, enjoying the sensation yet being afraid to take advantage of it.
“I’ll be okay,” Risa whispered softly. “No matter what you do, I’m going to be fine.”
“Stop trying to seduce me, Gaki-san, it’s painful,” Ai moaned.
I wasn’t trying, but okay… “Sensei.” Risa gazed upon her lover with smoldering eyes. “I don’t want to wait anymore. I want you to have me…”
“… Oh, what the hell.”
Risa felt her head being pulled down as her lips were captured immediately. She let out a soft moan as Ai took the initiative plunge her tongue into her mouth, eagerly tasting familiar ground. A soft pair of hands traveled under her shirt and up her bare back, causing Risa to shiver at the contact. She breathed out shakily as Ai kissed her neck and started to suck on her skin to mark her property. But before Risa could fully get into it, Ai pushed her off of her and grabbed her wrist.
“Get up.”
Without waiting for a response, Ai dragged her girlfriend off the couch and pulled her into her room. She slung her onto the large bed and let her push herself up to the middle, where she could lie down comfortably. Ai then climbed on top of her lover, straddling her waist, and held her wrist down. Risa swallowed hard as Ai stared at her with eyes full of desire.
“I wasn’t kidding before, you know,” she murmured. “I’m really not going to stop.”
“I wasn’t kidding before, either,” Risa smiled. “I can take it.”
Ai smirked. “I’m going to make you regret saying that.”
With that, Risa felt her lips being matched by her lover for another passionate kiss. This was it. She was finally going to do the deed with her lover. Her body trembled a little in fear and uncertainty at what was to come. But Ai’s gentle strokes against her cheeks told her that everything was going to be alright.

Has Ai finally realized that perhpas sometime the best course of actions may well be to give into the desries in front of you, seems like perhpas this is th case, I wonder how the relationship will change after thier first night togehter......
Poor Eri being worried about Gaki, seems as though Reina put her strait though, I think maybe in some way Reina more than some perhpas might understand a little bit of what Ai has gone through to get to the stage she is now...

^Definitely the most anticipated moment!!! XD
I can't wait to read the new chappy ~ Awesome work SarangAi! :twothumbs
Gosh, the TakaGaki relationship in this fic :bleed eyes:
-
GOSH! You finally did it!! XD
I really love Takagaki here because of Ai-chan's coolness and sexiness when it comes to her beloved Risa and the cuteness that Risa showed to her beloved Ai-chan, when it's only iinchou mask that she had when she's not with Ai-chan before. That's show how much they love each other, and it's really entertaining looking at this pair, really :)
Waiting for your next update SarangAi,, good work, really :twothumbs
I am your FANS 8)2

Emm... Well... I thought about the school's festival and about the relations of pairs, which came out of labyrinth doubt and problems. I'm glad that this is not end.

Hello, everyone! First of all, a major, major thanks for all the comments/thanks/"you're killing me" messages. I am forever indebted to your interest/love for this fic and i am incredibly happy that so many people love my story :bow: :bow: :bow:
Second order of business, a major MAJOR MAJOR apology to everyone. :kneelbow: :kneelbow: :kneelbow:
I've left this story hanging for almost a month now (especially at the oh-so-important chapter) and I've let down a lot of people's expectations (if you wanna know how many, go check out XcuteX26262X post at the top of this page :nervous). And for that, I apologize :err:
As for the reason for my extended absence, a LOT of things have happened to me this past month. but to make a long story short, it all started with school. So yes, classes were a part of it. I was overwhelmed with the sudden amount of work that I hadn't predicted... and then I got sick, like, REALLY sick. So I've been in bed for quite a long time. I barely turned on my computer. If you saw me online on the forum, it was me peeking at the comments through my cell phone (WHICH doesn't allow me to post replies in forums/blogs anymore? I need to get a new one...). And believe me, when i read all your comments ("OMFG WHERE IS SARANGAI IMA GO FIND HER AND BEAT THE LIFE OUTTA HER") I felt very guilty. :bleed eyes: :bleed eyes: :sweatdrop:
There's a lot more other drama involved, but those two are the main reasons why there's been a lack of updates. I'm feeling much better now, and I have some work to catch up on, so I can't post a new chapter right at this moment. But my promise to all of you, is that I WILL post the next chapter within the next 3-4 days, at LATEST. So by thursday-friday-ish? That is my promise to all of you! :cool1:
Once again, SO SO sorry for the disappearance. I haven't abandoned anything and I haven't abandoned fanfics! XD
Thank you so much for spamming this thread and expressing your pain... it made me feel very loved, if that makes any sense XD XD XD
:heart: :heart: :heart:
-
:pleeease:
^I just wanted to do that too xDD
ASDF I'M TOO LATE SHE REPLIED xDD
haha no worries :) I was getting really worried so I'm glad to hear you're alright!! ^^ I'm sorry to hear about you being sick and the drama though D:

@SarangAi: at least you came back in one piece, take care. We don't want you to get sick and lay in bed all the time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 80
Something didn’t feel right.
Although her eyes were closed, Risa was quite sure that she was half awake now as the sunlight made everything seem yellow. However, for some reason, she found that she couldn’t quite move her body the way she wanted to. Maybe this was still one of those very realistic dreams which soon turn out to be a nightmare where you can’t move at all… Since she was in no position to pinch herself, Risa bit down gently on her lips, enough to feel a slight pain. Yup, this was no dream, alright.
Groaning in frustration, Risa tried to toss in the bed again but her own body did not budge. Every muscle in her body felt tight and bounded, making it difficult to move. Risa had half the mind to just go back to sleep and hope that when she wakes up again, she’ll be able to move again, but she couldn’t shake off the uncomfortable feeling of immobility. Letting out a sigh of surrender, Risa opened her eyes and squinted through the bright sun, seeping through the window, and examined her own body. No wonder she couldn’t move; she was completely tangled in the bed sheet which wrapped around her like a strait jacket. Risa struggled to remove herself from the blanket as she pushed and pulled her arms and legs to loosen up the constriction. Finally, she was able to free one arm which did the work to liberate the rest of her body. Exhaling heavily after the tough battle with the bed sheet, Risa laid on her back comfortably with the blanket draped over her to hide her modesty.
Suddenly, the bean looked around beside her in confusion. A realization hit her that somebody should’ve been kicked in the face during her little conflict with the blanket, which involved tossing and thrashing. Alas, no one was in bed with her.
Where is she? Risa thought to herself. Could it be possible that everything that had happened the previous night was all just a dream? It couldn’t be, right? After all, Risa was still lying in the bed of her lover, exhausted and naked. That meant something… right?
Unable to console her own uneasiness, Risa sat up as she pulled the bed sheet close to her chest. She would go look for Ai herself. Slowly, the bean dragged her stiff body to the edge of the bed and touched the hard wooden floor with her feet. She blinked lazily, trying to overcome the grogginess, as she stood up. She started to look around for something she could wear, but just when she took one step and her weight shifted to her right leg, a surge of pain traveled up to her hips. Letting out a loud yelp of pain, Risa fell backwards and dropped back on the mattress. Her thighs felt heavy and limp as her hip bones ached with soreness. The pain wasn’t too terrible, actually, but it was enough to catch Risa completely off-guard and shock her.
Suddenly, the bedroom door burst open and Ai dashed towards the bean’s side. She was already dressed in a tank-top and shorts with a hoodie. Worry and alarm was clearly expressed on her face. “Risa! What happened? Why’d you scream? Are you okay?!”
“I’m fine!” Risa growled, glaring at her teacher. “It’s just that my hips are killing me because of somebody!”
“Your hips are—” Ai stopped as her eyes widened in realization. “Oh.”
“Yeah,” Risa spat through her teeth. The older woman blinked a couple times before she started to laugh. But her girlfriend’s furious leering gave her the incentive cover her mouth with her hand in an effort to stifle her laughter as much as possible.
“I… guess I don’t know my own strength?” Ai snickered, shrugging. “I’m sorry you’re in pain, love. But I seriously meant it when I said I wouldn’t be able to hold back last night…”
“Whatever, it’s fine, I suppose,” Risa sighed, smiling a little. “Last night was worth it.”
Grinning, Ai leaned down to hover above her girlfriend and kissed her. “Ohayou, Risa.”
“Ohayou, Sen—I, I mean… A-Ai-chan…” Risa blushed as she smiled shyly, which only allowed for Ai’s smile to grow wider.
“Why don’t you go sit under the blankets again?” Ai suggested, gently pulling Risa up. “I’ll find something for you to wear in the meantime, okay?”
Risa nodded approvingly. “Something to eat doesn’t sound so bad either.”
“Then I will personally bring you breakfast in bed, princess,” Ai grinned. “Although I suppose it’s more like lunch in bed now…”
“Lunch?” Risa gasped in shock as she quickly turned her eye towards the digital alarm clock on the bedside table. The time displayed was a couple minutes after noon. Risa wailed in despair. “Oh my gosh, we missed school! I missed school! Uso! Uso! Uso! I can’t believe it! We missed school?! I can’t… I can’t…!”
“Risa, calm down!” Ai chided, placing a hand on her girlfriend’s shoulder. “It’s okay, I called your mother this morning already. I told her that you caught a cold from staying out too long in the rain last night. I’m assuming she called the school after that.”
“But! But! But!” Risa argued back. “I can’t miss school! All those classes… How can I make them up?!”
“Relax, Risa,” Ai grinned. “If anybody can make up a couple classes, it’s you. Missing one day of school won’t kill you. In fact, I think it’ll do you some good in your case. You’re too stiff.”
“But… but…” Risa mumbled, “what about you? It’s your work!”
“I called in sick too, of course,” Ai shrugged. “It’s not a big deal; I made a good impression on the principal and the PTA. They won’t hold me against it.”
“But… but…”
“Listen to me, Risa,” Ai said warmly. “Considering you can’t exactly walk right now—which I apologize for on my part—I don’t think it’s a very good idea for you to go to school. And I would never leave you alone. So for today, just relax. And in a couple hours, when you feel better, we can have this day to ourselves. Okay?”
As she spoke the last words, Ai brought Risa’s hand up to her lips and kissed it, smiling that irresistible smile that made Risa blush as she nodded slowly. “Okay.”
“That’s my girl,” Ai grinned. “Let’s see what you can wear now…”
The teacher opened the closet and rummaged through her dresser for something decent. After a couple minutes, she tossed a green t-shirt and a pair of shorts on the bed. Then, she quickly ran out of the room and came back with Risa’s undergarments in her hand.
“I threw your underwear in the washer this morning,” Ai explained, “and the rest of your clothes are all dry now. Get dressed while I go bring in some food for you, alright?”
“Okay.”
Ai ruffled her lover’s short hair before she walked out of the bedroom. Slowly, Risa released the blanket that was clutched to her chest and put on her bra. Then, being careful not to irritate the soreness in her hips, she pulled on her underwear and the shorts. By the time she was pushing her head through the t-shirt, Ai was back in a flash with a tray full of food. She placed the tray on Risa’s lap before climbing into bed with her. There were a couple pieces of toast with a side of butter and strawberry jam, sliced apples, some strawberries, and two glasses of orange juice. As Risa marveled at the simple yet abundant breakfast tray, Ai casually picked up a knife to spread some jam onto a piece of toast. She then held it up to her girlfriend’s mouth.
“Say, ‘ah~’.”
“I might not be able to walk, but I can still feed myself, Sen—I mean, Ai-chan,” Risa grumbled.
“Come on, Risa, just humor me,” the teacher grinned. “Ah~”
Reluctantly, Risa slowly opened her mouth and bit down on the toast that Ai was feeding her. She chewed slowly and swallowed, watching her lover’s face get brighter. That was how their brunch together went, pretty much. Whenever Risa tried to eat something by herself, Ai would quickly push her hands down and lift up whatever Risa had wanted for her. It seemed as though Ai was determined to baby her girlfriend to death. Risa’s expression revealed utter distaste but the blush in her cheeks showed that she didn’t hate the attention too much. And how could she hate it, when Ai would kiss her whenever she got the chance? Risa was receiving quick kisses here and there—practically at least one for every minute—in random parts of her body: her forehead, her cheeks, her neck, her hand … any part that Ai’s lips could reach. In fact, it had gotten to the point where Risa was about to scold her lover for being too… well, loving, but Ai’s bright smile after kissing her would stop the bean short from exploding into a tirade. So Risa had no choice but to sit through brunch, helplessly getting much affection from the teacher.
After much of the food was gone, Ai slipped out of bed and stretched. She then took a hold of the tray and declared that she would do the dishes and be right back.
“Let me help,” Risa insisted, throwing the blanket off her legs and letting her toes touch the wooden floor.
“It’s okay, Risa, just stay in bed,” Ai assured. “I can do it myself.”
“But I want to help,” the bean said. “Besides, I can’t stay in bed all day. I think I can at least walk now.”
Gathering up her energy, Risa put her weight against her two legs and stood up slowly from the bed. When the pain didn’t come, Risa warily took a couple steps forward as though she was testing the waters. She experienced a slight tension in her muscles but the sharp pain that existed before was gone. Risa twirled around and shot a smug look at her lover, who just rolled her eyes.
Ai left the room with the tray in her hand as Risa followed behind at half the speed. At this moment, the bean felt a sudden gratefulness in her mind that her girlfriend lived in an apartment and not a house: at least she could avoid the possible danger of falling down staircases. And it was nice to know that the kitchen was just around the corner.
As Risa approached the sink, she found her lover soaking all the dishes and utensils in soapy water. She placed a towel in front of Risa and pointed to the dish rack.
“I’ll wash, you dry?” Ai suggested. The bean nodded in agreement.
For the next couple minutes, the two lovers spent their time doing the dishes in perfect teamwork. Ai would scrub the muck away with soap and run the dishes under water and give it to Risa to dry and put it in the dish rack. The teacher started to chatter about something that pertained to her work in school yet at some point, Risa found herself tuning out of reality and submerge herself into her own thoughts. Her memories took her back to the previous night again, to what had happened. Everything still seemed the same today, yet something was different. It wasn’t anything that normal people would notice but Risa could feel it. The atmosphere between her and Ai was on a whole new level now; it was more than love, more than want. There wasn’t quite a word to describe what it was, but Risa didn’t care. She liked the ambiance irradiating between them; it was comfortable yet it kept her heart pounding just strong enough to keep the excitement rising. She would do anything to have time freeze this way, so nothing may interrupt the moment, so no change may ever take place in her world.
“Risa, are you listening to me?”
“Huh?”
Risa blinked as she turned to her teacher. Her hands were stretched towards her as if to request something. Ai grinned, shaking her head. “I said, can you hand me the towel?”
“Oh, yeah, of course,” Risa answered quickly, passing the towel to her lover. Only then, she realized the chore of washing dishes was already finished and she had somehow managed to continue drying the dishes while she was wallowing in her own thoughts.
“Arigatou,” Ai smiled. She kissed the younger girl on her lips again as she tossed the towel on the counter. Risa blushed as she backed away a little.
“Ai-chan, you’ve been kissing me for the entire day,” she mumbled. “Aren’t you getting tired of it by now?”
“Don’t be silly, Risa, I would never get tired of kissing you,” Ai smirked. She leaned in to kiss her again before she stopped short with a concerned look. “Unless… you don’t want me to kiss you?”
“… Don’t be silly, Ai-chan,” Risa smiled. “I would never get tired of being kissed by you.”
Ai grinned at this as she took the liberty of pressing her lips against Risa’s again. The bean’s arms automatically wove around Ai’s neck as she felt a pair of arms constricting her slim waist to pull her close. Their kiss grew more passionate as Ai used her tongue to trace the outline of Risa’s lips. As Risa let out a low moan, Ai gently pushed her lover back until she hit the edge of the kitchen table, and the bean reached back to press her palm against the flat surface. Before she knew it, she was sitting on the table rather than leaning as Ai continued to kiss her lovingly with no intention to stop anytime soon. Risa couldn’t believe what she was doing: she was making out with her teacher, midday, while cutting school. For the old Risa, it was unthinkable. But now, the thought of being a bad student for one day excited her in a way. She didn’t mind breaking a couple rules for her lover.
As she was thinking this, a loud ringing of a familiar pop song interrupted their make-out session, causing both lovers to jump. Risa turned her head to spot her school bag, lying on the floor in the living room. She could see her cell phone lighting up through the front pocket of the bag. Ai groaned as she rolled her eyes.
“Just ignore it,” she muttered, kissing the bean’s cheek. Risa smiled to herself at this; it was uncommon for Ai to be the childish one.
“It could be Mama,” she said. “I’ll have to reassure her that I’m okay before she buys boxes of cold medicine for me.”
Ai moaned in complaint. “Risa…”
“I’ll hang up really quickly,” the bean promised, using her best puppy dog eyes. “Please?”
Sighing, Ai shuffled over to the living room and quickly grabbed the cell phone out of Risa’s bag and carried it back to her lover sitting on the table. She handed it over and watched Risa flip it open to answer.
“Moshi-moshi?”
“Risa-chan? Is that you?”
“… Eri?” Risa’s eyes widened at the unexpected surprise as Ai raised an eyebrow.
“Risa-chan, thank goodness, you picked up!” the turtle said quickly in a hushed tone. “Hurry, you have to help me!”
“Help you how? What’s going on?”
“Nakky! That’s what’s going on!” Eri whined. “I’m at rehearsal right now and she’s really scaring me, Risa-chan! She’s smiling at me but her eyes are really creepy, it’s weird! And the rest of our classmates too, even Konkon is giving me that look! You have to get here fast!”
“Um… I’m not in school today, Kameha, remember?” Risa shrugged. “I’m… sick.”
“Oh, come on, Risa-chan, you and I both know you’re perfectly healthy,” Eri growled. “In fact, I’m sure you and Sensei were both healthy enough last night to—”
“Okay, let’s not talk about my private life like that in public!” Risa hissed, her cheeks blushing red. She glanced at her teacher who was looking at her with confused eyes. She was probably wondering why Risa looked so embarrassed all of a sudden.
“So just get to school and help me out here!” Eri begged. “I promise I’ll practice, but I don’t want to be here alone!”
“Go to school… right now?” Ai’s expression darkened as she glared at the bean. “Um… that might not be such a good idea.”
“Please, Risa-chan?” Eri pleaded. “For me?”
“… Well…”
Risa shot a nervous look at her lover, who was biting down on her lips. She seemed pretty determined about something as her eyes carefully calculated the situation. Suddenly, Ai leaned forward to plant a deep kiss on Risa’s bare neck, catching her off-guard. She then climbed up to nibble on her ear and whisper, “There’s no way I’m letting you go.”
As Risa stifled a moan, Ai proceeded to plant multiple kisses along Risa’s smooth neck, leaving marks everywhere. She was determined to convince Risa that she would benefit much more from staying in the apartment rather than heading to school at that instant.
“Um… I don’t know, Eri…” Risa mumbled into the phone, leaning her head one way to give Ai more room to kiss her. “It’d be kind of weird for me to suddenly appear in school… since I’m supposed to be sick…”
“But you’re not actually sick!” Eri argued. “Risa-chan, onegai!”
“Uh…” Risa’s face turned even redder when Ai deliberately started to kiss her cheeks and her forehead, showing much affection. “Sorry, Eri, but… I’m sure Nakky can help you get all your lines down in time for the festival.”
“… But!”
“Practice hard, okay?” Risa said quickly. “Ganbatte, Eri! You can do it! Ja ne!”
The bean quickly slapped her phone shut and let out a long sigh. Ai backed away with a devilish grin, satisfied with the success of her plan. “You made the right choice by staying,” she winked.
“I know,” Risa smiled.
“I do kind of feel bad for Kamei-san, though,” Ai chuckled. “I hope she’ll be okay.”
“She’ll be fine,” Risa shrugged. “What’s the worst Nakky can do?”
** ** **
“NIIGAKI RISA, YOU TRAITOR!”
Eri hung up after she screamed into the phone line that was already dead. How could Risa do this to her? Wasn’t she supposed to be her best friend? Yes, she understood her feelings about wanting to stay with her dear Sensei a little longer. Night after sex was kind of like that. She knew that better than anyone. But still! Risa had always been the responsible one who would back her up in situations like this…
The sound of someone clearing up her throat reminded Eri where she was currently at. Slowly, with a nervous laughter, she turned around to face the rest of her classmates, all standing with their arms crossed and a fake smile plastered on their faces. It was freaky how they all actually looked the same at the moment. Their expressions were even scarier at the moment, for they were all standing on stage, with the spotlight hitting their cheeks, giving their faces shadows at certain angles that gave the whole scene a resemblance to a horror movie poster.
“Kamei Eri-san~” Nakky crooned sweetly, slowing stepping towards the turtle who backed away at the same pace. “Today is the day we will start your training~”
“T-training…?” Eri stammered, forcing a small smile.
“Indeed~” Nakky answered, her fake smile unfading. “Today is the day I, along with the rest of our classmates who have worked hard to memorize their parts, pound your lines into your brain.”
“Um… isn’t… pound… a bit of an exaggeration…?” Eri laughed nervously.
“We will make you the perfect princess, I promise!” Nakky declared suddenly, her smile falling flat. “Girls! Hold her down!”
All at once, Eri spotted five of her classmates dash forward to grab her. There was absolutely no way out of it this time. She would have to sit here, on stage, memorizing her lines until it was perfect down to the last letter. It would be just like studying for a test… only worse. Worse than studying… than studying… studying…
IYADAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

“Um… I’m not in school today, Kameha, remember?” Risa shrugged. “I’m… sick.”
“Oh, come on, Risa-chan, you and I both know you’re perfectly healthy,” Eri growled. “In fact, I’m sure you and Sensei were both healthy enough last night to—”
:lol:
“NIIGAKI RISA, YOU TRAITOR!”
I can so imagine Eri screaming like this into her phone! :mon lmao:
---
This chapter made me laugh so hard I had trouble breathing. Keep it up! I'll be waiting for your next updates! :twothumbs
-
Yey you updated :cow: its been awhile since you`ve done that..
poor Eri, Reina should save her :P
wondere what Eri will do to Risa after this :huhuh :P Nakky is scary :shocked
-
“She’ll be fine,” Risa shrugged. “What’s the worst Nakky can do?”
** ** **
“NIIGAKI RISA, YOU TRAITOR!”
:lol: oh dear poor Eri being left high and dry, well I suppose sge did have a good reason though..... hope Eri dosn't blurt anything out infront of anyone when she scolds Gaki though......
Ai seems to have setteled in very well to the relationship, it's like the whole situation had changed and now Ai wants it and Gaki is the one a bit awkward about the whole thing, I wonder though if Gaki can't quite keep up with Ai's sudden change in how she is approcing the relationship.....
-
Takagaki!
Lol, Gaki-san you traitor! XD but it really will looks weird for her to show up at school when she's suppose to be 'sick'.
Well.. Can't blame her for betraying Kame XD Ai-chan is so persuasive.
-
Ai is oddly cute here, like, I wasn't expecting her to be so cuddly, though now that I read it, I'm not sure why I didn't come to that conclusion. XD And Risa, I'm glad to see, is lightening up. All it took was some 'good sex.' Lol at her being unable to walk.
I lol'd less when they started making out, though :drool: Then I lol'd again with Eri's part. Poor turtle, she just picked a really bad time to be without Risa. Or maybe her classmates just picked a really good time to ambush her.
-
Yay! School festival is on its wayy!! :cow:
About the chapter: I totally love childish Ai-chan~ :wub: Maybe Risa might accidentally call her sensei "Ai-chan" when her schoolmates are around.. :D I like devilish. :twisted:
lol, I feel for you, Eri, but Risa needs to make out with Ai-chan. :w00t: I'm so looking forward to the school festival. :grin: Can't wait to see interactions between TakaGaki and TanaKame~ :wub:
-
I have to apologize for not commenting more. It's not that I don't religiously chase your fic and I definitely enjoy reading your updates. It's just that whenever I read them, it's not a good time for me to reply. After that I just get lazy ^^; Gomene! I really should have more perseverance.
Your fic has an awesome mix of humor, angst (which I love), perv, sweetness, etc that makes it better than a movie or any book out there. I'm sure using genius writer to describe you is a well placed term.
This chapter as with all your previous ones kept me enthralled from beginning to end. I love how the rest of the girls closed in on Kame. It's cute! And how Ai managed to keep the straight laced Risa away from school. Everything in their relationships is so perfect now. I wonder what the festival will throw up.
PS: I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better now. Please take good care of yourself. It's not a good feeling to be sick. Ganbatte on schoolwork as well!
-
I was once a lurker. Yep. Not anymore :glasses:
So like, this story is genius, and everyone hates waiting for an update, but in the end, you make it worth waiting for. :cow:
So therefore, my waiting shall begin now. :heart:
-
festival, I'm waiting.

Hiya!~ :D I'm new to this forum, but I just had to make my first post on one of your fanficiton threads SarangAi :D This fanfiction, as well as Kokoro no Uta, is uber amazing!~ :D I can't wait to see more (^_^)

Chapter 81
“And with this, the Haro Kotogakko Annual School Festival will start… NOW!”
The crowd of students cheered as they all rose up to jump in joy. The principal on the stage smiled proudly, content by the excitement that he had created, and nodded as he went off stage. The students took this as their cue to disperse from the gymnasium and into the field or into their classrooms to take their respective places in their exhibits or booths. The gate of the school was already crowded with guests and visitors entering to join the party.
After weeks and weeks of preparations, today was finally the day! The school festival was finally here, and that meant food, fun, and entertainment. The fact that they had to wear uniforms for the entire day on a weekend didn’t flatter Eri to much, but Risa had reassured her that it would all be worth it in the end. The two girls were currently pushing through the crowd to get outside so they could meet up with their friends. At some point, Eri had been on the verge of being engulfed by the crowd so Risa, like the responsible and mature Iinchou she is, grabbed the turtle’s hand to keep her from getting lost. When they finally rediscovered air as the crowd thinned out, they found their school’s front field filled with rows and rows of booths, both for food and games. Eri squealed in excitement as Risa gasped in disbelief.
“Sugoi!” the turtle exclaimed. “Our school actually prepared this really well!”
“I know, it’s kind of surprising,” Risa laughed. “I was kind of disappointed last year but there seems to be a lot going on this year.”
“Nee, nee, we have to find Reina and the others before time runs out,” Eri urged. “There are a lot of people here so it might be difficult…”
“Um… maybe not as difficult as you may think.”
As Eri started to look around at her friend’s remark, Risa stretched out a finger to point at a girl who stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the crowd. Although her appearance was modest, her sheer beauty was enough to make Reina seem like a self-illuminating chandelier. She was wearing a white blouse with a matching white skirt, making her look innocent and pure, while her straight brown hair was slightly pulled back to give her a more mature image. She was leaning over one of the food stands, talking and laughing with a boy.
Eri puffed out one of her cheeks. What was Reina doing, socializing with a boy before she even finds Eri first? And from the way she was enjoying the conversation, one would even say she was flirting…
Clenching her fists, Eri stomped over to the food stand where Reina was standing with Risa hot on her trails. Trying to control her rage, Eri cleared her throat loudly to catch the kitten’s attention. Reina turned her head to spot her stiff girlfriend and smiled brightly, which destroyed some of the firm resolve that Eri had made.
“Eri!” Reina exclaimed. “You found me!”
“Yes, but weren’t you supposed to come find me?” Eri said, forcing a smile. “Or call me? Or something?”
“I was going to, but I wanted some taiyaki,” Reina giggled, holding up the wrapped up fish-shaped snack in her hand. “And then I met one of your classmates.”
“Is Reina-chan a friend of yours, Kamei?” the boy at the taiyaki stand asked, grinning. “I didn’t know you had friends at Morning Gakuen—”
“‘Reina-chan’?!” Eri shrilled, glaring at the boy. “What makes you think you have the right to call Reina by her given name? You just met her!”
The boy seemed taken aback by Eri’s sudden turn of attitude. “Uh… I…”
“Eri, it’s okay!” Reina intervened quickly. “I told him he can just call me Reina. Since he’s one of your good friends.”
“I get your frustration, Kameha, but could you just calm down a bit?” Risa muttered under her breath, just so that the turtle could hear.
“… Since when are you a good friend of mine?” Eri asked the boy, raising an eyebrow.
“Aw~ come on, don’t be like that, Kamei,” the boy laughed nervously. “We’ve always been tight, haven’t we? S-so, Reina-chan, do you want to exchange email addresses with me?”
“What an idiot,” Risa whispered.
“Reina, let’s go!” Eri insisted, grabbing her girlfriend’s hand to drag her away from the food stand. If she stayed there any longer, she knew she would’ve thrown a burning taiyaki at that boy.
“Thanks for the food!” Reina yelled at the boy, waving.
Rolling her eyes, Eri further pulled her girlfriend into the crowd and squeezed her way through until she found an open space where air was available again. Only then did she stop and turn to glare at the clueless kitten who was chewing on the taiyaki in her hand. Risa got a worried look on her face but decided not to say anything. It was never a good idea to get in between a lovers’ quarrel.
“How could you just be eating at a time like this?” Eri scolded angrily.
“Eri, what’s your problem?” Reina asked, still confused by her girlfriend’s fury. “I was just hungry, that’s all.”
“But you shouldn’t have gone off without finding me first!” Eri retorted back. “Walking around alone, getting food alone… I thought we were doing all that together?”
“Oh, did you want some, too?” Reina held out the taiyaki towards Eri.
“No!” Eri pushed her girlfriend’s hand away roughly, causing the taiyaki to drop to the ground. Reina gasped as her expression became that of despair.
“I was going to finish that!” she whined. “It was so good…”
“Forget the food, Reina!” Eri groaned. “You shouldn’t have gone off to the festival alone anyway.”
“I didn’t just decide to go off to the festival,” Reina replied, raising an eyebrow while crossing her arms. “I was looking for you and then your classmate offered me a free taiyaki, so I accepted.”
“And that’s another thing,” Eri growled. “You just decided to stand there and… and… flirt with him! While I was looking for you everywhere!”
“… Ara!” Reina’s face suddenly brightened as her eyes lit up. Then, just as quickly, her eyes narrowed and a smile formed by her lips. “Eri, are you… jealous?”
“I’m not jealous!” Eri denied, the red blush in her cheeks telling otherwise. Reina’s smile grew bigger as she was amused by her girlfriend’s pure reaction. Risa accidently let out a small chuckle, which allowed her to receive much glaring from her turtle friend. The bean quickly bit down on her lips to prevent any more laughter from escaping, but Reina’s grin remained plastered on her face. “Stop smiling!”
“Okay, okay,” Reina said, holding up her hands in defense, still smiling. “I was wrong to have gone off without finding you first. And I’m sorry for upsetting you.” She took Eri’s hands in hers gently as she leaned forward to kiss her sweetly on the lips. Eri’s eyes widened in surprise as Risa cleared her throat and looked around aimlessly for a while so as not to direct her attention too much to the couple in front of her. Then, Reina stepped away with a grin and winked. “But you know you’re the only one for me anyway.”
Eri blushed again as she cast her eyes down in embarrassment. “… Not in public, Reina…” The kitten laughed in response.
“It’s okay, nobody saw us,” she shrugged. “There’s a lot of people but they’re all minding their own business.”
“Or trying to mind their own business,” the bean cut in, looking a bit awkward. “I don’t think we said our greetings yet so… it’s good to see you again, Tanakacchi.”
“Mm, you too, Gaki-san.” She quickly linked her arm with Eri’s, attaching herself to the turtle protectively. Her lips pursed into a tight smile that Risa could tell was forced. But what other kind of treatment could she have expected. After all, today was the day that she and Eri would be playing a fantasy couple in the play. Even if it was just acting, Risa figured it would still probably bother the kitten quite a bit.
“So where are Junjun and the others?” Eri asked. “I thought she was going to visit too?”
“She was going to come with her full gang,” Reina answered. “She should be here somewhere…”
Risa started to look around again, hoping to find the others just as easily as she found the kitten. As she shuffled around, turning her head this way and that, she almost fell as she bumped into someone. Yelling out an apology, the bean whipped around to find a cute girl with short wavy hair. She was wearing a flowery dress that gave her a very girlish look, which matched the bow in her hair that was designed in a similar flower pattern. She was quite tall but her babyish face told otherwise about her age; she seemed to be a middle school student, or a freshman in high school at most.
“Gomen!” Risa apologized. “I didn’t see you behind me.”
“It’s okay,” the girl replied, smiling a little. “I wasn’t watching where I was going either.”
Suddenly, a different person grabbed the short-haired girl’s arm to get her attention. She seemed to be around the same age but a couple inches shorter. Her husky voice rang out in between puffs of air.
“Mai!” she breathed hard, exhausted from a chase. “I told you not to run off like that!”
“Ara.” Reina raised her eyebrows in surprise as she turned her attention towards the two girls in front of the bean. “It’s Chisa. And Mai is here too?”
“Tanaka-san!” Chisato exclaimed. “It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”
“Yeah, oshisashiburi.” The ex-yankii smiled as she turned to her girlfriend to explain. “This is Okai Chisato. She’s one of Junjun’s underlings. And Hagiwara Mai. She’s not in our gang but—”
“She’s my girlfriend,” Chisato announced proudly, putting her arm around the lady-like girl. “Kawaii desho?”
“Don’t say things like that, Chisa…” Mai mumbled, embarassed.
“You two are back together again?” Reina laughed. “So how many times have you guys exactly gone on and off?”
“We lost count,” Chisato admitted, shrugging. “But this time, it’s real. I can only love Mai.”
“I only love Chisa, too,” Mai said, smiling.
“That’s what they said last time,” Reina mumbled to her girlfriend quietly, “before they started to get into arguments again a week later. They’re always like that.”
“You must be Kame-chan!” Chisato exclaimed suddenly, grinning at Eri. “I’ve heard about you from Riida. I’m Okai Chisato. Yoroshiku.”
“H-hai! I’m Kamei Eri,” the turtle nodded, introducing herself. She figured Junjun must’ve been utilizing the little “turtle” nickname quite a lot for people to know her just by “Kame-chan” now.
“Oi, where are the others?” Reina asked. “If you’re here, that means Junjun is too, right?”
“Yup, that’s what it means!”
All the girls looked up at the familiar voice to spot another group of delinquents stepping towards them. The tall black-haired girl who had just spoken was in the lead, and next to her was a pale-skinned girl, hugging a ridiculously large stuffed bunny. A couple of other girls trailed behind the two, sticking close to one another to indicate who was paired up with whom. Eri was quite surprised to find that most of the girls were actually quite cute and did not look like the yankii type at all. But she would still take care to not piss any of them off. After all, she had seen how sweet little Aika could immediately turn into a lethal murderer by simply pulling out a knife. In fact, the turtle thought to herself that she wouldn’t be surprised if each one of the delinquents were hiding some sort of weapon on their body.
“We actually got here pretty early,” Junjun explained, “but Sayu wanted the bunny so I was winning it for her at a game booth.”
“I never said I wanted it,” Sayumi muttered. But contrary to her words, she hugged the stuffed animal even tighter than before.
“Okay, fine, I wanted you to have it,” the panda rephrased, grinning. She was used to her girlfriend’s little push-and-pull act by now, and had decided to just play along for most of the time.
“Tanaka-senpai!” Aika exclaimed happily, beaming at her previous leader. “Osu!”
“Yappi,” Reina smiled, waving at her kouhai.
“Kamei-san, oshisashiburi desu ne?” Linlin greeted brightly, turning to the turtle and her friend. “And this is…?”
“Ah, this is my best friend, minna,” Eri quickly introduced, realizing her bean friend must be feeling pretty out of the loop by now. It wasn’t every day you faced a group of yankii girls in one meeting.
“Niigaki Risa desu,” the iinchou said. “Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.” She was surprisingly calm with the whole situation. Eri figured that the friendly appearance of all the delinquents softened up her nerves.
“I’m Junjun, Reina’s friend,” the yankii leader said. “And this is my girlfriend, Michishige Sayumi. And these are my girls: Mitsui, Linlin, Shimizu, Yajima, Natsuyaki, and Suzuki. And I assume you already met Okai, and her girlfriend Mai.”
The yankii girls and Eri and Risa quickly exchanged greetings with one another as Reina received a respectful bow from each one of them. Although they had never been directly under the kitten, the famous Tanaka Reina of Fukuoka was not a name to forget. The kitten seemed a bit uncomfortable from being treated as though she was still part of a gang, but she didn’t seem too unhappy. After all, the yankii world was a place where she had once belonged, a place she had considered home. Besides, she trusted that Junjun didn’t raise the girls to be senseless but rather loyal and trustworthy. Her idea of what being in a yankii gang was different from others.
“Riida,” Airi started, “can we split up now? Miya and I wanted to go to a purikura booth that we saw on the way…”
“Yeah, Captain and I are going to go to class 3-C,” Maimi chimed in. “I think they’re doing some sort of dance contest there.”
“Mai, where do you want to go?” Chisato asked.
“I’m… kind of hungry,” Mai answered. “Okonomiyaki…”
“Alright, alright, you guys can go enjoy,” Junjun grinned. “But be back at the auditorium in time for Sleeping Beauty!”
“Hai~!”
The girls quickly scattered into the crowd, eager to enjoy the festival. Aika and Linlin gave another quick bow to their seniors and followed suit. Junjun felt a tug at her shirt sleeve as Sayumi clung onto her like a child. The panda smiled and shrugged.
“I guess… we’ll go ahead and enjoy, too,” she declared. “This festival looks amazing, by the way. Not bad for a public school.”
“If you like what you see, don’t forget to invite us to Morning Gakuen’s bunkasai, too!” Eri laughed. “You guys get to do more amazing stuff, don’t you?”
“Well, we do get a larger fund,” Junjun grinned. “Don’t worry, you’re both invited already. I’ll catch you guys later at the show! Break a leg, alright?”
In no time, the panda disappeared through the crowd as well with the bunny by her side. Suddenly, Eri whipped around to face her friend with a pleading expression and clapped her hands together.
“Onegai!” Eri begged, bowing at the bean. “I know we’re supposed to help get the stage ready, but please let me hang around for a while!”
“You’re asking me to cover for you again?” Risa groaned.
“Please, I’m begging you!” Eri whined. “Reina’s here so I just want to go on a short date with her. It’s not a school festival without some couple time, right?”
“I’ll beg too,” Reina joined in, smiling innocently. “Please, Gaki-san?”
“… Oh, alright,” Risa muttered. “Go have fun. I’ll try to convince Nakky not to blow your head off.”
“You’re the best!”
Reina let out a silent sigh of relief as Eri revealed a huge grin. She gave her friend a quick squeeze before grabbing her girlfriend’s hand and running off into the crowd, afraid the bean may change her mind. The two lovers ran by a couple booths before coming to a stop, deciding that they were far away enough.
“Operation get-Risa-to-cover success!” Eri laughed, wiping away the droplet of sweat traveling down the side of her face. “Now we can just enjoy the festival by ourselves.”
“Like a date?” Reina asked, grinning.
“Not ‘like’,” Eri winked. “It is a date.” The turtle squeezed her girlfriend’s hand gently to show her affection to which Reina blushed.
“Are you sure it’s okay for us to be holding hands like this?” the kitten whispered. “This is still your school; what if someone sees?”
“Don’t worry, no one will notice,” Eri reassured, shrugging. “They’re all too busy having fun. Plus, even if someone sees… I don’t think I’ll mind that much.”
Reina’s eyes widened as she stared up at her lover. “… Do you realize what you’re saying? No matter how much we love each other, we’re both still girls, you know. I just… don’t want you to get in trouble.”
“Well, couples like us aren’t so uncommon anymore in today’s society, right?” Eri thought out loud. “As long as it’s you, I don’t think I’ll mind facing a couple discrimination here and there. As long as we’re together… right?”
Reina blinked a couple times at the smiling turtle. When had her girlfriend grown up so much? She sounded a lot more mature than she ever had; this was a side that Reina had never witnessed before of Eri. But despite her adoration for her usual airhead girlfriend, Reina somewhat appreciated her girlfriend’s way of thinking that relieved her of any fear or pressure. As long as they were together…
“… Right,” she answered, smiling. “As long… as we’re together.”
“And we will be,” Eri grinned.
“Yeah,” Reina nodded, biting her lips. “Of course.” She hesitated for a while before opening her mouth again to speak. “Listen, Eri… I need to tell you something.”
“What is it?” Eri fixed her eyes upon her girlfriend, eagerly waiting for her to speak. Her gaze was so warm and innocent, her smile too happy and bright, Reina found herself at a loss of words.
“… I… want to take purikura with you,” she quickly mumbled.
“Okay!” Eri said immediately. “I think one of the freshmen classes set up a purikura booth. Let’s go!”
Together, the girls squeezed past the crowd of students in the field to get to the front entrance of the school building. Even the hallways were bustling with people, but it wasn’t too difficult to find the right classroom. The windows were drawn with black curtains and posters with celebrity purikura pics were plastered on the wall. Eri and Reina quickly entered the classroom and found an empty booth backed up into a corner. They slipped into the curtains and were presented with various frames to choose from on the touch screen in front of them.
“Hearts?” Eri asked.
“Hearts,” Reina smiled.
Eri selected the frame that was lined with red and pink hearts all over. When another decorating option popped up, the turtle took the deco pen and wrote their names on the top. At the bottom, she wrote in large shaky letters, “FOREVER”. Reina blushed at this as she nudged her girlfriend as though she disapproved, but Eri just laughed. She knew the kitten was just being a tsundere again.
“Okay, time to take some purikura!” the turtle announced.
She pressed the large red button and snapped a couple pictures. Both girls made sure to smile and look their prettiest at first, but they both eventually started to make weird faces at each other, which ended in laughter. But suddenly, without warning, Reina grabbed Eri’s face and turned it towards her to kiss her. The flash went off and Eri’s eyes widened. She continued to blink in confusion as Reina shrugged and turned away shyly.
“For the sake of keeping memories,” she mumbled. “I wanted a picture… of our kiss.”
Eri’s lips slowly spread into a smile as her cheeks became rosy pink from embarrassment yet joy at seeing her girlfriend being so cute. Then, deciding to be bolder, she wrapped her arms around the kitten’s waist and pulled her close.
“I don’t think the one we just took was an accurate depiction of our kisses,” she whispered.
As Reina looked up, Eri captured her lips and kissed her, moving against her slowly. Reina let out a soft moan as the turtle inserted her tongue into her mouth, tasting her sweetness. As Reina wrapped her arms around her neck, Eri slowly reached for the big red button and pressed down, allowing the flash to go off. As that was the final picture, two copies of the purikura sticker sheet came out of the dispenser. The two lovers parted, breathing hard, and gazed at each other. Eri grinned.
“Now that,” she murmured, “was a real kiss.”
“Yeah…” Reina mumbled, feeling her cheeks get hot again. She looked away before she could feel even more embarrassed with her lover staring at her. “You better not be kissing Gaki-san like that later.”
“Aw, come on!” the turtle moaned. “I already told you it’s not a real kiss. It’s like… I’m bumping into her cheek, practically.”
“I still don’t like it,” Reina muttered, crossing her arms. “You guys are still a couple in the play…”
Eri sighed, feeling helpless. Then, her eyes lit up as a quick calculation of a scenario ran through her head. She smiled and clapped her hands together when she decided that her idea would work.
“Reina,” she whispered excitedly. “I might not have to be Sleeping Beauty after all.”
“What do you mean?” the kitten asked.
“I think we should disappear for a while,” she smirked. She then whipped out her cell phone and held it up. “In the meantime, I’ll just make a quick phone call to someone who’d be willing to be our accomplice…”
** ** **
Must be nice to have a festival date… stupid turtle.
Risa sighed as she wandered amongst the crowd of people amidst the rows of booths in the school field. She was heading towards the auditorium for the last minute set-up and rehearsal for her class’s play while bracing herself for the anger that was about to befall on her by a one Nakky because her aho friend had begged her to cover for her. Some part of her wished to ignore her responsibilities as the class representative and enjoy the festival with her “special someone” like everybody else, but her pride would never allow her that. It wasn’t like her “special someone” could be seen hanging out with one of her students either. But still, Risa couldn’t help but subconsciously hope for an excuse to escape everything.
As the bean entered the school building, someone bumped into her on the way, making her lose balance. Risa almost fell but she managed to keep herself up.
“Oh, I’m so sorry!” the girl who had bumped into her apologized. “I’m such a klutz sometimes…”
“No, it’s okay, I’m fine,” Risa smiled, dusting herself off. She then took another look at the girl with a peculiar expression. She was wearing Haro Kotogakko’s uniform but the bean didn’t remember seeing her anywhere. And as one of the class representatives in the school, she knew most of the people in the school. And if she had seen this student before, she didn’t think she would forget her. The girl had short brown hair reaching her shoulders and was wearing large glasses with thick lens that made it difficult to see her eyes. She almost looked like one of those nerdy girls who didn’t have many friends because of her awkwardness. Risa decided that she definitely didn’t know the girl, but something about her seemed familiar.
“I’m really sorry, I’ll be more careful from now on,” the girl apologized again, bowing.
“It’s fine, really,” Risa laughed. “Enjoy the festival!”
Putting the odd feeling behind, the bean continued on her way towards the auditorium. But before she could walk for another ten seconds, somebody grabbed her arm from behind. Risa turned around, surprised at the contact. It was the same nerdy girl from before with the glasses that made it difficult to see her face.
“You… don’t recognize me?” she asked.
“Um… excuse me?” Risa mumbled, getting a little bit scared now.
“You actually don’t recognize me!” the girl laughed. “I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be happy or disappointed. A bit of both, I suppose.”
“Uh… I’m sorry, do I know you?” Risa’s eyebrows wrinkled in confusion as she tried to figure out where she had seen this student before. Other than the familiar face, she somewhat recognized that voice and the laughter… Where had she heard that before?
“Come here.”
The girl grinned as she pulled the bean along down the hallway. Risa tried to break free, unsure of where she was being led to, but to no avail. They finally reached the girl’s bathroom and the nerdy girl peeked inside to make sure no one was there. Then, she pulled the bean in and pushed her into a stall before locking it. At this point, Risa was in such a shock that she couldn’t utter a word. Who was this girl and what was she doing to her?! Seeming to detect her confusion and fear, the girl burst into the laughter that she had been holding in. Risa blinked, still quite puzzled, and backed away as much as she could without tripping over the toilet.
“You still don’t recognize me?” the girl chuckled. “My disguise must’ve been better than I’d thought.”
“I-if you don’t let me go right now,” the bean stuttered, “I-I’ll s-s-scream!”
“Oh no, you won’t scream.” The girl suddenly grabbed Risa’s wrists and swung her around to push her against the door. “After all, you don’t want your precious girlfriend to get arrested, do you?”
The girl slowly removed her thick glasses, revealing her eyes and the rest of her face to the bean. Beyond the make-up, Risa could see the familiar intensity in the girl’s eyes, gazing back at her and the warmth of her smile that made her heart skip a beat. Risa gasped in realization as her eyes widened at the discovery.
“Sen—”
Before she could finish her thought, the bean found herself being kissed lovingly, allowing a soft moan to escape from her throat. A familiar tongue traced her lips before parting from her, leaving her breathless. A soft chuckle snapped her out of the happy trance and Risa opened her eyes see her lover who was grinning from ear to ear.
“I got you good there, didn’t I?” Ai laughed. “The look on your face was priceless.”
“Mou, Sensei!” Risa groaned. “That wasn’t funny; I really thought you were some pervert or something!”
“I’m sorry I scared you, love,” Ai apologized. “But I have to admit, it was quite entertaining to see you lose your composure like that.”
“Glad you enjoyed yourself,” Risa said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. “So is there a better reason for your get-up or were you just trying to prank me? Where did you find such clothes anyway?”
“The theatre department,” Ai replied. “I snuck in this morning and transformed myself. I think I did a pretty good job, considering you didn’t recognize me.”
“Yeah, well you really outdone yourself this time,” Risa chuckled, amused by her girlfriend’s appearance. Now that she knew Ai had put in the effort to disguise herself, she could see the heavy make-up that smoothed her skin and made it lighter. Her long brown hair was nicely tucked underneath the short bob that she now endorsed. “Is that a wig?”
“Yup.” Ai patted her head of short hair. “I used to have short hair like this when I was little. It’s kind of nostalgic.”
“So… why did you dress up like a student again?” Risa looked over her lover’s entire outfit of the day. For a 23-year-old woman, she looked surprisingly good in a school uniform. If Risa didn’t know she was a teacher in the first place, she wouldn’t have been able to figure out that Ai was, in fact, nowhere near the age of a high school girl. After all, no one could deny the fact that the woman was rather naturally gorgeous.
“I just thought that it might be easier for us to walk around this way,” Ai shrugged. “Together, I mean. Side by side. It would be kind of awkward to walk around the school festival with a teacher, wouldn’t it? Even to the public eye.”
“… What are you getting at?”
“Well… I just figured that if you were anything like a normal teenage girl… you’d probably want to have the stereotypical festival date that couples have,” Ai said slowly. She shrugged again nonchalantly. “So I thought we could maybe have that date we’ve been delaying. That is… if you don’t mind hanging out with a nerd like me.”
The teacher put her thick glasses on again and grinned, her cheeks blushing pink. Risa slowly smiled as well and ended up laughing. She was pleased that her teacher had been so thoughtful to her “teenage needs” and had planned this little surprise for her. This would be another reminder as to why the bean loved her girlfriend so much.
“I like nerds,” Risa grinned, kissing the older woman. She then lowered the volume of her voice and whispered, “Arigatou… Ai-chan.”
The teacher turned red as her name was spoken as she smiled like an idiot. Risa didn’t mind though; this was just another one of her dear teacher’s charms. As Ai quickly regained composure, she grabbed the bean’s hand and walked out of the bathroom stall.
“Shall we go enjoy the festival?” she proposed.
“We shall,” Risa nodded.
But before the two lovers could leave the bathroom, Ai’s cell phone ringtone echoed off the tiled walls. The teacher quickly picked up the call as Risa waited patiently.
“Moshi-moshi?” Ai said. Her relaxed face suddenly fell into a purposely constructed poker face, hiding her true emotion. “… Yes… I’m listening… Yes… I see… I understand… I’ll take care of it. Bye.” The teacher hung up just as fast as she had picked up. Risa raised an eyebrow.
“Who was that?” she asked.
“Just another teacher,” Ai answered immediately, smiling. “She wanted to make sure I was covering her shift later in the security department.”
“… Okay.”
After the many months she spent together with her sensei, Risa could tell that Ai was trying to keep a poker face. But she didn’t think too much of it since she believed that her lover would tell her of her own free will if it was something vital. Besides, she was much too excited for this upcoming date they were about to enjoy. Until the school play started in about an hour, she would make the most out of her time together with Ai.

Soo... I'll just assume that "another teacher's" phone call was really just Kame. Ai-chan agreed just like that? :nervous
I'm wondering about the kiss in the play. Maybe Ai-chan's really going to cover that role..? :inlove:
Oh yeah, and I too thought that Ai-chan would pop out of nowhere and surprise Jun's gang with her legendary self. :roll: That would be soo cool! :twothumbs
Looking forward to next chap. :grin:
-
NerdAi! Oh wait, rewind.
Ahem...
Festival! It's started! How exciting, I've always enjoyed seeing these in anime and such.
Lol at Reina innocently attracting the boy's affections and Eri's jealousy. And Reina's own jealousy towards Risa. I think I may know their plan, but I also can't help but wonder (if I'm right, that is) at all the ways it could possibly go wrong. Or the ways it could go so right!
More lol and a bit o drool at NerdAi!'s appearance. ...Now we just need Guy-chan in there somehow...
-
W00T W00T. Mmmm NerdAi... I agree with rndmnwierd... We need some Guy-chan. Since the theater department is so good, just put her in one of the boys uniforms teehee XD
So I'm assuming Aichan will be taking over the role of sleeping beauty for kame? Sounds good to me :thumbsup
Though I will miss seeing jealous!Reina. I always do love seeing their jealous sides come out :twisted: Especially Eri when she saw Reina with some random dude claiming to be a good friend :smhid Reina likes the emergence of jealous!Eri too :P Reminds me of that chp at the arcade
“Yeah,” Reina nodded, biting her lips. “Of course.” She hesitated for a while before opening her mouth again to speak. “Listen, Eri… I need to tell you something.”
...
“For the sake of keeping memories,” she mumbled. “I wanted a picture… of our kiss.”
My spidey senses are tingling... Why do I have this strange suspicious feeling here..... :?
Lastly, thanks to my dyslexia (or perhaps this is just what I wanted to see :nervous) I misread this as the last line "Until the school play started in about an hour, she would make out most of her time together with Ai." ;)
Look forward to next chp! :cow:
-
So the school festival finally gets under way, hmm, seems as though little 'Ai-chan' came up with a cunning little plan to be with Risa for a bit anyway, hopefully she won't be missed! And Eri getting jealous.... :lol: typical of Reina to head off on her own, still suppose that won't happen now that Jun and the gang, the whole gang turned up, wonder what Risa thinks about that? :nervous perhpas the purika made up for it as well! :wub:
-
@Haruka: I've been good~ lol i'm doing my best to make this story work! :lol:
@kawaii beam: lol yeah, Haruka is always fast! I don't know how she does it.. XD
@Sora-chan: lol hopefully not a month! I started on it already, I wanna get it done... :P

And probably everybody else too :hiakhiakhiak: Ah, can't wait to see how good Sensei's natural talents for acting are :on GJ: Sorry my comment is so short, I'm a bit busy :on study: Great work as always :heart: :heart: :heart:

Thanks for new chapter~ :3
It is very nice!
But what is wrong with Reina? o:
Or maybe it is only me, but i think her dad have said something about Reina and Eri and their relationship...
But secondly i think, there is nothing wrong with her! XD
( Or maybe Reina want take pictures in purikura, and she want send one picture to her dad and tell what is between her and Eri, in this way? Who know :lol: )
But what will happen if Eri don't go to play... Where they go with Reina, and is there something what Reina's must to tell Eri?

Thanks for the comments guys~
Well, at least it didn't take me a month to update this time :nervous

Chapter 82
“I CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!”
“Nakky, please calm down!”
The three girls that were now dressed as fairies in different colored dresses dashed towards the director to prevent her from trying to bang her head against the wall again. The girl was practically driven over the edge at this point: her two main actresses hadn’t shown up for the final rehearsal and now the auditorium was starting to fill up. Most of the performers were now in costume and on standby behind the curtains. But the worst part was that the leads still were not present.
“Why do they like to torture me so much?” Nakky moaned, stomping her feet. “I can’t take this anymore! AGH!”
“I’m sure there’s a good reason for everything, Nakky,” Yurina comforted.
“Well, at least for Gaki-san,” Chinami muttered. “For Eri-chan… can’t say the same for her.”
Nakky growled at this as she glared at the wall. Maasa sighed. “You’re not helping here, Chii.”
“I could try and go look for her?” Asami offered. She was fully in costume now, starting with the crown on her head all the way to the flowing dress that gave her quite the queenly presence.
“No, no, no, no way,” Nakky said quickly, shaking her head. “I don’t need any more cast members missing than I already am. The guys are looking for them. They’ll find them. Definitely. For sure. … Right?”
“Yeah, of course!” Makoto reassured. She was wearing a boy’s costume with a large red fur cape and a golden crown sat on her head. The beard on her face wiggled as she spoke. “How hard can it be to find two girls in this school?”
“Apparently, very.” Risako glided on stage in her black dress and witch hat with a couple boys panting behind her, out of breath. “None of them could find them.”
“Oh my gosh,” Nakky breathed, about to hyperventilate. “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my—”
“Nakajima Saki, just breathe!” Maasa ordered, grabbing her friend’s shoulders. “In and out, in and out.”
“In, out, in, out,” Saki repeated, breathing slowly. “Okay, I think I feel better.”
“Personally, I’m not too surprised about Eri’s absence,” Yurina admitted. “But where could Iinchou be? She’s not the type to be late like this…”
“Maybe she met a cute guy from another school,” Risako joked, grinning.
“There’s no way that girl got a boy before me!” Chinami gasped.
“Why not?” Risako shrugged. “Gaki-san is a pretty girl.”
“Can we discuss the physical attributes of our class representative another time and focus on getting her here instead?” Nakky groaned. “Where IS she?!”
“I’m here, I’m here, I’m here!”
All heads turned towards the frantic voice coming from the side of the stage where the bean in her full costume was running out with her teacher close behind. She was wearing the gray outfit with a large hat and a long sword was attached to the belt on her waist. There had been a fancier costume for the prince but they decided to go for the darker suit since it made more sense, story-wise, for the prince to wear more casual clothes since he was traveling. Ironically enough, Nakky had insisted that Risa also have long hair for the performance since “back in the days”, men had long hair too, especially royalty. So Risa now had hair extensions which created a ponytail that traveled down her shoulder. She had just enough make-up on to bring out her features under the stage lights.
“Where have you been?” Nakky yelled as the bean stopped to catch her breath. “We’ve been trying to contact you for hours!”
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault,” Ai apologized quickly, also panting from running. “I had asked Gaki-san to run some errands for me since I was busy being part of security for the festival… and before we knew it, the time flew by.”
“See, there is a good reason,” Yurina said quickly, trying to calm Nakky down. “I told you Iinchou isn’t the type to bail on us like that.”
“… Okay, fine,” Saki muttered. “Is Eri in the dressing room?”
Risa blinked a couple times in confusion. “… Isn’t Eri with you guys?”
“… OH MY GOD.”
The student director immediately started to hyperventilate again as her face turned pale white. All the fairy girls swarmed towards her as though the girl needed immediate medical attention. Risa gasped as she watched Nakky practically have a nervous breakdown. Everybody started talking at once, half of them encouraging Nakky to breathe while the other half told the boys to go look for the turtle at once. Ai rushed to her student’s side as well, patting her back to comfort her.
“Nakajima-san, shh… it’s going to be okay,” she assured.
“No it’s not!” Saki shrilled. “No, no, no, no, no! I can’t do this anymore, I’m sorry, I can’t do this anymore!”
“Nakky, pull yourself together!” Maasa begged.
Everybody continued to talk over each other, trying to figure out a way through this disaster. Ai quickly glanced up at her girlfriend and gave her a look that somehow telepathically got through to the bean. Turning away, Risa quickly pulled out her cell phone and speed dialed her friend with a quick yet precise keyboard work.
“Pick up, pick up, pick up…” she mumbled.
But the signal droned on until Eri’s recorded voice rang out, announcing that she could not come to the phone at this time and if the caller would kindly leave a message, she will get back to him or her as soon as possible. Risa groaned as she slammed her phone shut. Before she could wallow in her hopeless despair longer, a different idea came to mind. Flipping her cell phone open again, the bean dialed a number that she had received some time ago, just for reference. The signal continued until a familiar voice answered.
“Moshi-moshi?”
“Tanakacchi!” Risa exclaimed as relief washed over her. “You picked up!”
“… Yes, it’s my cell phone so I picked up,” Reina said slowly, hinting at sarcasm. “What do you need?”
“Is Eri with you right now?”
“Yeah, she’s right here.”
“… And where’s that?”
“The infirmary.”
Risa felt her heart drop. The infirmary? What the hell were they doing there? “Um… did something happen?”
“Yeah, Eri kind of twisted her ankle,” Reina sighed. “It’s not that bad but she can’t walk for another hour or two.”
“… WHAT.”
Risa felt her chin drop and lock into its place to create an utterly shocked expression on her face. What was happening? Was her friend okay? Was she in pain? She was always such a klutz; an injury was bound to happen at one point or another, but her timing was certainly terrible. What was going to happen with the show now? They couldn’t have a Sleeping Beauty play without Sleeping Beauty!
“Don’t worry, she’s fine,” Reina reassured through the phone. “I’m taking care of her so relax.”
“But… but the play...” Risa mumbled.
“Figure something out,” Reina sad flatly. “You’re supposed to be brains of this school, right?”
“B-but—”
“Break a leg out there. Bye.”
The phone clicked as the kitten hung up, leaving the bean speechless. She noticed that her teacher and her classmates were all staring at her, waiting for the verdict. Nakky seemed to be in a world of her own now as she spaced out but she was sure to be listening.
“… Eri is hurt,” Risa said finally.
“How badly?” Ai asked.
“Bad enough,” the bean mumbled. “She can’t walk at the moment. She can’t be in the play.”
“OH MY GO—”
“Nakky, cool it!” Yurina yelled before the student director went ballistic again. “Okay, I’m… I’m sure there’s a way out of this. What usually happens when someone can’t play their part?”
“Well… there’s usually an understudy, right?” Asami said.
“Yes, but we didn’t assign understudies!” Nakky moaned. “It’s all over!”
“Shikkari shite yo, mou! Pull yourself together!” Maasa urged. “Isn’t there someone who can replace Eri?”
“All the girls already have their own parts to cover,” Risako said. “There’s no one left from our class who can play a princess.”
“Can’t we get someone from another class?” Chinami asked.
“This is a battle between classes, remember?” Makoto reminded. “The prize is that karaoke party!”
“It’s all over!” Nakky groaned.
Risa bit down on her lips. She wished that there was something she could do. Her class had worked so hard for this play; they couldn’t possibly quit now. It wasn’t fair and she refused to let so much effort go to waste. If only there was someone…
“I can play the part.”
All heads turned towards their teacher who stood up and spoke. Risa’s eyes widened as did the rest of her classmates’. Although the students looked at her as though she had three heads, the teacher seemed perfectly sane.
“… Um… Are you allowed to?” Yurina asked slowly. “I mean… Sensei is… a sensei.”
“There’s no rule that says teachers can’t help their class,” Ai shrugged. “And I know most of the lines from watching you kids rehearse. I think I can manage.”
“… Well, why not?” Risako shrugged, smiling. “Sensei is really popular in this school. Maybe this is even a good thing.”
“I suppose we don’t have a choice,” Asami sighed. “I think Sensei can do it too, though.”
“Nakky, what do you think?” Maasa asked. “You’re the director; it’s your call.”
“… I say,” Saki started, slowly getting to her feet, “put Sensei in a dress right away and someone get some makeup on her face! Quick, we don’t have much time!”
“I’ll help,” Chinami volunteered. “Let’s go, Sensei!”
“I’ll be ready in a minute,” Ai smiled.
As she dashed off the stage and towards the dressing room, she quickly winked at the bean and grinned. Risa, who was still frozen since she hung up the phone, felt her chin drop even further down. So Eri was hurt. She couldn’t walk. So now Sensei was the princess. Her princess. The princess she would kiss. Because she was the prince. She was going to kiss Sensei on stage. In front of people. People she knew. People that knew her. Not a real kiss. But still. A fake kiss that was still very much like a real kiss only it’s fake.
Things couldn’t be more confusing.
** ** **
“Alright, is everyone here? Mittsi and Linlin!”
“We’re here!.”
“Captain and Yajima?”
“Here.”
“Natsuyaki and Suzuki!”
“Present!”
“Okai and Maimai?”
“Both present!”
“Okay, we’re good!”
Junjun relaxed in her seat after making sure all of her girls were in place. They were sitting in a single row near the front where they had a pretty good view of the red curtains that currently draped over the stage. She put her arms around her girlfriend who was sitting beside her, staring intently at the program.
“It’s a good thing these girls all listen to me well enough,” Junjun said proudly. “It makes my job a lot easier.”
“One person is still missing, you know,” Sayumi said, yawning.
“What?” The panda quickly looked around and counted off again. All of her girls seemed to be present. “Who am I missing?”
“Tanaka-san isn’t here yet,” the bunny said. “Didn’t you save a seat for her?”
“Yeah, next to Mittsi over there—”
Junjun stopped as she realized the chair next to Aika was empty. She blinked a couple times and looked all around her, but the kitten was nowhere to be found.
“That’s strange,” she muttered. “Maybe she’s back stage with Kame-chan.”
“Maybe,” Sayumi shrugged.
A sudden explosion of applause startled the couple as they directed their attention towards the stage. A short girl with long wavy black hair had come out through the curtains. She had a huge smile plastered on her face but Junjun could tell that the girl was rather nervous standing up there in the spotlight.
“Thank you all for coming today,” she announced loudly. “I’m Nakajima Saki, the director for this class’s play. Some safety procedures today include no flash photography, no cell phones or any other electronic devices that may make noises.”
“Are all your cell phones off?” Junjun whispered to her girls. They all nodded or gave a thumbs-up in response.
“Also, due to unforeseen circumstances,” Saki continued, “there has been a slight change in the cast. The role of the princess will now be played by none other than our homeroom teacher, Takahashi Ai Sensei!”
A mixture of murmuring and cheering came from the audience. There seemed to be some confusion as to why a teacher was in her students’ play but Takahashi-sensei indeed was popular enough to get most people to disregard that peculiarity. Sayumi’s eyes widened before scrounging up in puzzlement. Junjun slowly smiled as she started to get a clear picture in her mind of what was really going on.
“Why is their teacher in the school play?” Sayumi asked in a hushed tone to her girlfriend. “What about Kamei-san?”
“I’m guessing that Reina just wasn’t prepared to reign in her jealousy,” Junjun chuckled. “This is kind of interesting though… the Takahashi Ai playing a princess? This, I have to see.”
“The Takahashi Ai?” Sayumi said, confused.
“Ah! I got it! I got it!” Aika exclaimed in a loud whisper. “Takahashi Ai of Fukui! The legendary yankii who all of Japan feared! That’s her, right? Right?” Junjun smirked as she nodded, remembering how frantic Reina had also been when she had texted her the day she had met Ai.
“Is that true?” Captain gasped. “It’s really her?”
“Oh my gosh, I can’t believe it!” Airi squealed. “We’re really going to see the Takahashi Ai!”
“Do you think we’ll be able to meet her in person later?” Miyabi asked, full of hope.
“Wait, what is she doing in a school play, though?” Chisato asked. “And she’s… a teacher?”
“It’s a long story,” Junjun said. “For now, let’s just enjoy the show.” Congratulations on protecting your girlfriend, Reina…
** ** **
“It worked! It worked! It actually worked!”
Reina and Eri squealed quietly as they gently high-fived each other. They were sitting together in the very back of the auditorium, right underneath the sound booth, where the darkness hid their presence well. There was white gauze wrapped around Eri’s leg to feign injury.
“I guess this means Sensei did her part of the mission well,” Eri sighed. “I wonder how Gaki-san is feeling right now.”
“Probably somewhat glad, right?” Reina shrugged.
“More like nervous to death, I bet,” Eri giggled. “Gaki-san always holds herself together well but she’s actually really pure.”
“Well… how do you feel right now?” the kitten asked, hesitantly.
“What do you mean?”
“I mean… I do kind of feel bad,” Reina mumbled, “for pulling you out of the play you worked so hard on just because of my own insecurities… I’m sorry.”
“Don’t apologize, Reina,” Eri assured, smiling warmly. “I’m glad you were honest to me about your feelings. Besides, I mainly practiced only during the last week or so. I’d rather sit here with you and watch the show. As a part of our date.”
Reina smiled at the turtle’s reassurance. She kissed her on the lips before turning her attention back towards the stage where the red curtains were trembling as though they were about to open.
“And now, ladies and gentlemen,” a voice boomed through the speakers, “Class 2-4 would like to present to you, ‘Sleeping Beauty’!”

Man I hope Ai and Gaki don't take, the uh 'kiss' to far, I mean it is only a play after all.......... :nervous, still not sure whatever Ai does is going to save Eri from, well a Gaki-ing when she catches up with her (probably best she stays away from Nakky too....)
“I’m guessing that Reina just wasn’t prepared to reign in her jealousy,” Junjun chuckled. “This is kind of interesting though… the Takahashi Ai playing a princess? This, I have to see.”
“The Takahashi Ai?” Sayumi said, confused.
“Ah! I got it! I got it!” Aika exclaimed in a loud whisper. “Takahashi Ai of Fukui! The legendary yankii who all of Japan feared! That’s her, right? Right?” Junjun smirked as she nodded, remembering how frantic Reina had also been when she had texted her the day she had met Ai.

“Do you think we’ll be able to meet her in person later?” Miyabi asked, full of hope.
“Wait, what is she doing in a school play, though?” Chisato asked. “And she’s… a teacher?”
so this is what the 'bad person' thing was all about, seems as though Ai's got a whole fan-club in Jun's gang, interesting that Reina knew all along, wonder if Gaki will find that out?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 83
The girl wearing a commoner’s outfit with an apron around her waist quickly ran through the pseudo-forest, dashing between wooden bushes and cardboard trees. She heard a voice call out after her, but she quickly hid her body behind the flat two-dimensional oak. After all, her three godmothers had strictly warned her never to talk to strangers.
This particular stranger seemed different, however, than the dangerous ones that had been described to her so many times. Unlike the haunting imagery of dark eyes and a wicked disposition, this stranger’s eyes were soft and his face gentle, like that of a kind gentleman.
“Please, Miss, do not hide from me,” he implored. “I mean no harm. I only wish to speak with you. And, perhaps if I am lucky, listen once more to your song which has led me here to you.”
“I am forbidden to talk with those I am not acquainted with,” the girl quickly said from behind the tree. In contrast to her words, she could not help but sneak a peek at the young man who had his eyes fixated upon her. Surprised, she quickly turned back.
“Well then, let us get acquainted,” the man suggested. He quickly but gracefully stated his name and bowed, taking his hat off. “I came upon this part of the woods as I was following your voice. You sing beautifully, Miss.”
The girl felt her heart skip a beat. She had always been told by her godmothers that she was gifted with a voice that was to be envied by the rest of the world. So if this man was someone who appreciated music as she did, perhaps he was not such a stranger. She slowly turned to look at the man with half of her body still hidden behind the fake tree. “Thank you,” she said softly.
“My pleasure,” the man replied with a smile, visibly happy that the lady seemed to be opening up. “If I may know your name…?”
Hesitantly, the girl whispered her name which the man repeated in a gentle tone. He then offered his hand to the lady, as though he was requesting a dance, and stared expectantly. The girl seemed to become mesmerized by this perfectly beautiful man in front of her, and accepted his hand. The man tenderly pulled the girl closer and twirled her around as he started to hum the song that had drawn him to her in the first place. The girl smiled as she grew more comfortable, and openly started to sing the song. The young man and the maiden continued to dance slowly and elegantly in perfect harmony with each other as the forest “animals” watched from behind the pseudo-bushes as did the rest of the audience members in the auditorium and the staff from behind the stage.
“Sensei is really incredible, isn’t she?” Nakky commented in disbelief. “She got the dance steps down perfectly within a couple minutes. And her acting is perfect!”
“Well, Takahashi-sensei was always something else,” Asami whispered back. “But still, this is really amazing. She isn’t a beat behind Gaki-san.”
“Yeah, they’re perfectly matched together,” Nakky mumbled. “And even the way they’re looking at each other… they almost look like a real couple.”
The play moved on smoothly with much applauding in between by the audience. Although it was unexpected, Risako ended up getting much praise during her scene in which she offered the spindle to the princess. The normally shy girl had revealed a fiercer side to her, creating a perfectly evil and devious persona for the witch. Although she was young, she had a certain alluring factor that charmed the audience.
“She’s so pretty…” Sayumi gasped softly. “Don’t you think she’s amazing, Junjun? I think her name was Sugaya in the program. I wonder if we can meet her later? Nee, Junjun?”
“Yeah, uh-huh,” the panda muttered back, obviously getting annoyed by her girlfriend’s newly discovered infatuation with this girl.
After many sugary-sweet scenes, fighting scenes, and adrenaline-rushing scenes, the most anticipated highlight finally came about. The crowd quickly hushed as the Prince traveled through the castle, climbing up to the highest tower in search of the woman he fell in love with. When he finally came upon the correct room, he stopped to catch his breath and examined the sight in awe. The beautiful Princess was lying comfortably on a decorated bed, surrounded with flowers and satin. Her sleeping face was peaceful: a paradox amidst the chaos that had occurred while she slumbered. She wore a beautiful blue dress with long laces that slipped down to the floor. To the Prince, it was the most beautiful scene he had ever laid his eyes upon. However, more than the vision, he wished to hear her beautiful voice once more, singing and laughing and calling for him.
“Here… is the beautiful princess…” the Prince said in awe. “My beautiful princess... Mine…”
Behind the side curtains, Nakky gasped in shock. “That’s not in the script! I wrote that script! I didn’t put that in the script! Why is she saying something that not in the script?”
“Shh! It sounds better right now!” Asami hushed. “Just give Gaki-san a chance.”
On stage, the prince stepped closer and closer to the Princess, fast asleep. He knelt beside her and gently stroked her cheek. “Her skin, smooth as silk… Her lips, red as cherry… My love…”
“That’s… not… in… the… script…!” Nakky huffed as though she was about to hyperventilate.
“That’s good!” Asami smiled. “It was kind of poetic.”
“But how to I wake her…” the Prince wondered.
Moving slowly, the Prince leaned in to the Princess until his face hovered over hers, only a couple inches above. He had a perfect view of the beautiful lady’s features, outlined by thick stage make-up. But to the Prince, the woman in front of him was still the most beautiful, and the most perfect. He could no longer imagine a life without her, her laughter, her song, her existence. Was it even possible to be in love so much…?
“Any spell… can be broken with a true love’s kiss… My princess…”
With that, the Prince leaned in until his lips brushed up against the Princess’s soft lips, kissing her gently. Although his eyes were closed, he could sense that the Princess was shocked by the sudden kiss on her lips that had missed her cheek, which went against their original plan, but she did not falter. The audience gasped and smiled and watched in awe, taking in the romantic kissing scene. The Prince finally backed away and intently watched the Princess, desperately hoping that his love was enough to awaken her, hoping that he was indeed her destined true love.
Painstakingly slowly, the Princess opened her eyes and let out a breath of air, signaling the return of life. She whispered her lover’s name and the Prince immediately hugged her in extreme joy. The crowd exploded into cheers and applause that filled up the large auditorium. Behind the side curtains, the staff boys and the rest of the casted girls also clapped as Nakky breathed in and out slowly, calming herself down, relieved that everything had been done well. In the audience, Aika and Linlin sniffled, utterly touched by the fairy tale scene, and applauded their loudest.
“That was quite realistic,” Sayumi said to her girlfriend. “But I guess everybody knows it was a stage trick anyway.”
“No, that was definitely a real kiss,” Junjun smirked, clapping slowly.
“What?” Sayumi asked, surprised. “How do you know?”
“I could tell,” Junjun shrugged, grinning. “There’s definitely something between those two… but let’s keep this between us for now, okay? I’m sure no one needs any more drama in their lives…”
The bunny quickly nodded in response. Rather than being curious about why the teacher and the student kissed for real, she found herself wondering about her girlfriend’s scary psychic-like powers that just seemed to detect everything that a normal person couldn’t.
And so, the play ended as a success from the opening of the curtains all the way to the curtain calls. As expected, along with the unexpectedly talented Risako, the Prince and the Princess got the most applause as the entire auditorium stood up to present a standing ovation. Risa and Ai beamed at each other before holding hands and bowing multiple times. As the entire cast and staff started to wave farewell to their audience, the curtains started to close, concealing the stage. As soon as the people were out of sight and the curtains were tightly shut, the student of class 2-4 burst into a loud cheer of pride and joy, high-fiving and patting each other’s backs.
“Minna, otsukaresama!” Nakky cheered, revealing the smile that had disappeared for the past couple months during rehearsals. “We finally did it! Awesome job, everyone!”
“We’re definitely getting that karaoke party!” Chinami exclaimed. “We were amazing!”
“Even if we don’t get it,” Yurina laughed, “I think this was worth all the work in the end. I had fun.”
“Me too!” Maasa chimed in.
“Me three!” Makoto grinned.
“Sounds like you guys had a good show!”
Everybody turned towards the familiar voice coming from the side where two girls walked on stage towards them. The owner of the voice was limping along as she dragged one leg behind her as the girl next to her tried to support her weight as much as she could.
“Eri!” Risa yelled in surprise.
“The reaction from the crowd was pretty good,” the turtle smiled. “I could hear the applause form down the hallway.”
“It seems my friends enjoyed the show, too,” Reina added.
“So you were at the nurse’s office this entire time?” Nakky asked.
“Yeah, I kind of dozed off after that too,” Eri said, scratching her head.
“Are you hurt badly though?” Risa asked, showing concern for her friend. “Is it okay for you to walk around right now?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine,” Eri reassured. “I just needed to stay off this foot for a couple hours. I’ll be fine by tomorrow at latest.” She shrugged as she revealed an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry for worrying everyone. And I’m sorry I backed out of the show so suddenly like that.”
“It’s okay, Eri-chan,” Asami nodded. “We understand. As long as you’re safe, that’s all that matters.”
“Arigatou, Asami-chan,” the turtle grinned.
“It’s a good thing Sensei stepped into help us, though,” Risako reminded. “We wouldn’t have been able to make it through the show without her.”
“I completely agree,” Nakky jumped in.
“I heard you were an awesome princess, Sensei,” Eri said, a knowing smile spreading across her lips. “Congratulations.” She gave a small wink to the teacher, which only the bean noticed. She narrowed her eyes as she realized that something was up, but kept her doubt to herself at the moment. After all, she didn’t want a riot that would put her friend’s other leg out of use as well.
“Thank you, Kamei-san,” Ai smiled. “And to all of you, congratulations. I’m very proud that you are all my students. This was a beautiful show and all your efforts are what pulled us through. Otsukaresama!”
“Otsukaresama deshita!” all the students shouted in reply.
“Okay, we have the clean up the stage before we can go enjoy the festival ourselves!” Nakky announced, clapping her hands together. “So everybody, erase your make-up, get out of your costumes, and come back to help clean up!”
Little by little, the students dispersed to their own dressing rooms as the boys started to clean up right away. When Ai glanced at the bean as though she was asking her to follow suit backstage, the bean motioned for her to go ahead. Then, Risa quickly pulled Eri back a little before she could limp off stage with her girlfriend.
“What?” the turtle asked, an expression of confusion spreading across her face.
“… You’re not really injured, are you?” the bean accused.
“Hey, you can’t say that kind of thing to her!” Reina cut in.
“It’s okay, Reina,” Eri chuckled, smiling a little. “I knew Risa-chan would notice soon anyway. It’s not easy to trick her.”
“Why would you lie about getting hurt, Kameha?” Risa groaned. “Everybody was really worried and I was worried and… I really put my relationship with Sensei at risk out there.”
“… You kissed her, didn’t you?” Eri giggled, easily reading her friend’s reaction.
The bean blushed. “That’s not—”
“Well, that was exactly the reason I pulled out at the last minute,” Eri shrugged. “I mean, neither of our girlfriends was exactly comfortable with us doing this play, you know? And besides, aren’t you glad you got to be the fairy tale couple with Sensei?”
Risa thought back to her performance with her lover. The dancing and her teacher’s singing and the hugs and the kiss… Everything was a blur, like a spotlight that was too bright, but the feeling of bliss and excitement still remained in her heart and mind.
“… I suppose…” Risa mumbled, “I should… kind of thank you…”
“You’re welcome,” Eri grinned. “Now go change and enjoy the festival with us!”
Risa slowly nodded as she turned around to head off stage. But before she could disappear behind the side curtains, she quickly looked back again.
“Kameha!”
“Nani?”
“… Arigatou.” The bean’s cheeks blushed pink again as she mumbled the next couple words. “Really… thanks.”
“And this is why I’m worthy of being your friend,” the turtle joked, laughing.
Smiling, Risa gave a quick wave before skittering off-stage. Eri sighed as she listened to her girlfriend laugh quietly beside her.
“How unexpected,” Reina snickered, “to see your composed iinchou friend blush like that.”
“I told you, Risa-chan is actually really innocent when you get to know her,” Eri shrugged. “I’m sure you’ll get alone better with her soon.”
“Yeah, I doubt that,” the kitten muttered. “Come on, let’s get out of here.”
Linking arms together, the two lovers slowly limped off stage together, finally allowing the auditorium to fall into silence.

Kind of short... shorter than I had originally planned but I kinda hit a wall half-way through :nervous
But from the way I have this story planned (somewhat planned), I might 100 chapters with this too... :nervous'
I'm gonna work SUPER HARD to not make it go over though (cuz then it's just too long :smhid) so... wish me luck :nervous
:byebye: :sleep:
-
So worth the wait! I knew they were going to really kiss!
...The question is, did anyone else notice that?
-
Mo~ou! I can't believe I haven't left any new comments on your new chapters!
On wards!~
Chapters 81 & 82
Gaah I can't believe Reina, Kame, and Aichan! They're all in on it! :panic: I still can't believe Kame would just pull out so easily without feel so much guilt~ :thumbdown: ....but then TakaGaki filled in so that made things so much better!! :on GJ:
Lol @ :mon scare: Nakky. She needs to chill~
Chapter 83 (I literally sat there clapping as I read on! I was that exited :))
Yes YES YES~ I was so excited to see how the play turned out! Gotta love Gaki's romantic improving :mon inluv: Prince Gaki <3
AND THEY DID A REAL KISS! :luvluv1:
I'm suprised that no one else noticed that it was a real kiss (besides magical ninja JunJun of course :3) Although it was shorter, it was still such an excellant read!~ I'm totally eager for the next chapter~
100 chapters is totally not too long by the way :) :hee:
By the way, could you tell me the same of the first song on he first trailer of Chigatte mo Iin da yo? I've fallen in love with it after watching the trailer so many times!!
-
“Well, that was exactly the reason I pulled out at the last minute,” Eri shrugged. “I mean, neither of our girlfriends was exactly comfortable with us doing this play, you know? And besides, aren’t you glad you got to be the fairy tale couple with Sensei?”
Risa thought back to her performance with her lover. The dancing and her teacher’s singing and the hugs and the kiss… Everything was a blur, like a spotlight that was too bright, but the feeling of bliss and excitement still remained in her heart and mind.
“… I suppose…” Risa mumbled, “I should… kind of thank you…”
“You’re welcome,” Eri grinned. “Now go change and enjoy the festival with us!”
:lol: Well seems as though Eri has escaped getting killed by Risa for dodging the play thanks to her 'injury' and I think she's safe from Nakky too, thanks to Ai's performance!
Man, a proper kiss on stage though, hmm lucky it didn't go to more than that :lol: seems as though Jun noticed though thanks to her er ''psychic' powers as Sayu put it, put it to the list of things that Jun knows about Ai that perhpas Ai would not like her to know......
-
Good luck SarangAi! :grin:
Thanks for the entertaining fic so far. :w00t:
Was Ai-chan talking with Eri about the role, earlier when Ai told Risa she had to do something in the security department?...
-
ah i was way to tierd last night to comment so here we go~
prince gaki is dreamy as usual lol well in this she was cute and cool and for course with her princess as ai-chan ofourse she'd be practically perfect~! i loved when nakky started spazzing over teh scrip and the other girls were saying that gaki's slight adlibing was fine lol the little kiss was way cute and so was ai's reaction XD i bet in her head she was really trying to fight back in returning that kiss XD it is kinda weird that everyone exept junjun noticed that type of kiss though XD i feel like someone else noticed it too....
now for the afterparty~! XD glad to see that everyone's prowd of themselves even if they dont win that kareoke party, sometimes just doing that brings everyone closer and its a great memory for all of them. im surprised eri didnt get turned into turtle soup XD i was expecting risa to like pinch her cheeks or something while she was thanking here, but then again maybe with reina there it couldnt happen XD and her thankyou was so~~~~ cute X3 i wouldnt mind a blushing gaki-san~ :inlove:
eventhough it was a short chapter i cant wait on what's next~ maybe a mini sleepover between the prince and princess~? lol whatever it is i'll be waiting~
-
“Yeah, they’re perfectly matched together,” Nakky mumbled. “And even the way they’re looking at each other… they almost look like a real couple.”
You dont know how right you are Nakky.. :mon sweat:
“What?” the turtle asked, an expression of confusion spreading across her face.
“… You’re not really injured, are you?” the bean accused.
“Hey, you can’t say that kind of thing to her!” Reina cut in.
:rofl: Tanakame completely B U S T E D. :lol: i love it. ahhh~
TakaGaki may not be my favorite couple but they sure are CUTE :wub:
And that KISS, :mon lovelaff: oh boy that kiss lol, caused me to squeal.... really loudly.... surprising non of the windows in my house broke.. :nervous
But still, :bow: YOU, ma'am are one fantastic writer (I think i've told you that before, but i cant help but say it again lol)
Waiting for the next upload already.
This story is probably one of the little excitments i can get during this time of finals and studying >.<
-
I'm so glad everything went well! :w00t: Risa was definitely not helping her situation with Ai-chan by making stuff up. XD I wonder if the students would find out about their relationship later in the story. :roll:
Yay, now everyone can go enjoy the festival! TakaGaki date. :heart:
-
This is what I MISS when I'm not ON! u_u
Work's really hard these past days x_x
And I have the seeking for the perfect gift is ALL but a living hell T_T
Nice CHAPY T_T I love how Gaki was so into her character <3
TakaGaki innocent kiss =3

Oh, I have long watched for updates and of course I skipped it
Kiss with the teacher so :shy1: even if it is for the play... Oh, something I do not about what should be :whistle:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 84
“Come on, we have to go interview them!”
The girl with a short ponytail insisted on her idea, bobbing up and down excitedly. Her tiny friend beside her with long black hair and a camera around her neck watched her as though she was thoroughly entertained. The girl with the shortest haircut nodded frantically in agreement with the ponytail girl as she herself also started to bounce in place, clenching the recorder in her hand. The tallest girl, who also looked the most mature despite all of them being the same grade, tapped her pencil against her notepad as though in deep thought.
“I don’t know…” she remarked. “Would people really be interested in reading an interview on a teacher and a 2nd year class representative?”
“Come on, you saw the crowd’s reaction, Mizuki-chan!” the ponytail girl reminded. “That play was amazing! Everybody loved it! This might actually be the way to recuperate our newspaper club again!”
“Kanon-chan is right!” the short-haired girl chimed in. “You know our newspaper club is on a downhill spiral. Also, because there are only four of us and we’re all 1st years, we don’t even get enough budgets. Maybe if we post this kind of story, we’ll get more club members and more attention in the school!”
“And this isn’t just a teacher and an iinchou we’re talking about,” Kanon quickly jumped in. “You know how popular Takahashi-sensei is!”
“And this iinchou we’re talking about is the Niigaki Risa-senpai,” Erina added, “one of the top 10 students in the school! Everybody knows her!”
“I can already envision it!” Kanon said, spacing out into a dreamy look. “‘Sleeping Beauty and the Prince: behind the magical kiss’!”
“Well… if both Erina-chan and Kanon-chan want to cover this story…” Mizuki pondered. “Riho-chan, what do you think?” All three girls turned to look at the tiny girl with the camera who had remained silent all along while listening to the girls bicker as though she was watching a sitcom. She shrugged.
“I don’t really care either way,” she said, smiling a little. “Just show me what to take a picture of and I’ll do it.”
“That means she agrees,” Kanon quickly interjected.
“Come on, Mizuki-chan,” Erina begged. “Imagine all the questions you can ask them! What was it like working with your students… What was it like playing a male role… What was your staged kiss like…”
“I guess we could make it rather interesting…” Mizuki mumbled.
“I saw we go now!” Kanon piped up. “Decide quick. We have to catch them before they leave the dressing room and go back to the festival! Then we’ll never find them and we won’t be able to get the article out by tomorrow!”
“… Okay!” Mizuki finally said. “Since we don’t have a lot of other material as of now, maybe this will be bumped up to the cover. Let’s go to the dressing rooms; hopefully, Niigaki-senpai and Takahashi-sensei are still there.”
Kanon let out a cry of victory and joy as Erina squealed and gave Mizuki a huge hug. Riho stood in place, wordlessly observing the scene like she was watching a movie again, and took a snapshot with a flash of light.
** ** **
Good going, Risa, you’ve really outdone yourself this time. For a supposedly smart girl, that was a stupid move.
Risa continually splashed cold water on her face although her makeup had been completely erased quite some time ago. She looked up at the mirror to stare at her reflection, her face wet with droplets of water, streaming down her cheeks to her lips where she had kissed…
Groaning in frustration, the bean splashed some more water on her face as though she was slapping some sense into herself. She decided to finally dry her face with a towel before she could freeze her skin with the icy water.
Why did you do such a stupid thing? she thought to herself. You were supposed to fake the kiss, not actually kiss her! What if someone saw? What if someone noticed?
But Risa knew that the audience didn’t think much of their kiss from the way they reacted with a strong applause at the end of the play rather than a confused commotion. Besides, none of her other classmates questioned her actions either. It seemed as though she would safely get away with her mistake this time, but Risa couldn’t help worrying about the possible consequences.
She knew, however, that there was little she could’ve done to stop herself from kissing her teacher. By the time she had laid eyes upon Ai’s “sleeping” face, Risa’s logic and sense had already sailed far away from her mind. It was all instinct from that point on; all she knew was that she wanted to kiss her, and that was it. It was as though her subconscious had taken over and she couldn’t snap back into reality.
Risa sighed as she put the towel down and walked out of the tiny bathroom and into the connected dressing room. She walked over to the chair in front of the mirror where she had left her costume laying there as she had been in a rush before to get out of the uncomfortable suit and into a bath robe. She collected the clothing and hung it on a hanger before putting it back on the clothing rack that was pushed against the wall. As she stretched, she sat down in front of the mirror and checked for any leftover streaks of eye liner or lipstick on her face. When she found none, Risa quickly selected the small bottle of moisturizing cream on the makeup counter and covered her hands and face with it. The excessive makeup had significantly dried up her skin to a papery nature so she took care to use the lotion to restore her original complexion. As she was doing this, someone knocked while peaking in through the small window pane on the door. Risa turned to check who her visitor was as a small but slender and pretty woman slipped in.
“Hey,” she greeted, “are you done changing yet?”
“Ah, no, sorry, Sensei!” Risa quickly apologized, getting up as she quickly rubbed the glob of cream on her face. “It took a while to get the makeup off… I guess I used more than I thought.”
“That’s fine,” Ai chuckled. “I’ll wait for you.”
“Are we going back to the festival?” the bean asked.
“Yes… but you see, I can’t very well walk in here as a teacher and leave as a student, if you know what I mean.” Ai smiled apologetically as she referred to her entire appearance. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a blouse rather than the previous school uniform she had disguised herself with. “I’m going back to the festival to be one of the chaperones. And I was hoping you would join me as I walk around… if you don’t mind, that is.”
“Of course I don’t mind,” Risa said quickly, smiling. “Let me just get changed. Then we can leave.” She skittered over to the clothing rack to search for the hanger with her uniform.
“Alright,” the teacher nodded. She calmly walked over to the makeup stand and sat in the chair comfortably. “Take your time.”
Risa quickly spotted her uniform and started to remove the skirt from it. But then, she felt a gaze on her back and slowly turned around to see her Sensei, staring at her with unwavering eyes. The bean blushed slightly as she bit down on her bottom lip.
“Um… Sensei… I need to change.”
“I know, Gaki-san.”
“Uh…. Do you mind?”
“Nope, not at all.” Ai flashed an innocent smile at her girlfriend to receive a glare in response.
“I can’t change if you’re staring at me like that, Sensei,” Risa mumbled, frowning as her cheeks blushed pink.
“It’s nothing I haven’t seen, Risa,” Ai answered back wittily, noting the way Risa had flinched at the sound of her name being called. “Relax and just change, it’s not a big deal.”
“It makes me nervous!” Risa argued weakly. “Would you be able to change while I stared at you?”
“Yes, I probably would,” Ai answered without the slightest hesitation, grinning.
… She probably would, Risa thought in agreement, pouting.
Sighing in defeat, Risa turned her back on her girlfriend to face the clothing rack and untied the knot around her waist. The bathrobe opened up and the young girl let it slip off her shoulders to reveal her bare back before letting it drop to the floor. She could feel her teacher’s eyes scrutinizing every angle and curve in her body, clad in modest undergarments. As she made serious effort to ignore her lover’s staring, Risa took her uniform shirt from the hanger and pulled her arms through and buttoned it up with certain swiftness. Then, just as rapidly, she unclipped the skirt from the hanger and pulled it up to her waist. But when she tried to pull up the zipper on the side of her hip, she found herself faced with an unexpected challenge. After some useless effort, Risa turned her head to face her girlfriend with a helpless expression.
“It’s stuck…” she mumbled.
“… Shouganai wa,” Ai sighed, smiling. “I guess it can’t be helped.”
The teacher stood up from her seat and approached her girlfriend who quickly turned back to stare at the clothing rack again. Ai got down on one knee to get eye-level with the stubborn zipper and started to slowly maneuver the bit of material that had gotten stuck. After careful work, the zipper finally slid freely up Risa’s thigh to close up the skirt. Satisfied with her success, Ai stood up and grinned.
“Thank you,” Risa said. “We can leave after I put on my—”
Just then, the teacher slowly wrapped her arms around her lover’s waist, hugging her from the back. The bean froze as her words got cut off from her girlfriend’s sudden action, before she quickly calmed down and put her hands on top of Ai’s that laid on her stomach.
“You know,” Ai murmured in her lover’s ear, “I’ve been thinking of our kiss from before.”
“What kiss?” Risa mumbled.
“The kiss that was supposed to be staged, but happened for real anyway,” Ai chuckled. “You really caught me off guard there. I didn’t think you would dare do something like that on stage in front of all the audience.”
“It was an accident,” Risa admitted, sighing. “I wasn’t planning on kissing you, it just… happened.”
“You took a huge risk.”
“I know, I could’ve revealed our relationship in front of the whole school,” Risa groaned, realizing the heavy burden of her mistake. “I’m sorry.”
“I meant that you took a risk with my patience,” the teacher laughed softly, nuzzling her nose against Risa’s neck. “It was quite difficult to control myself when you were kissing me like that… But I guess I still am a bit more mature than you since I could hold myself back while you let your desires drive you. Really, you should be ashamed, Iinchou.”
“Being class representative has nothing to do with this,” Risa muttered. “I’m still seventeen like everyone else.”
“So it’s teenage sex drive?” Ai asked innocently.
“Not funny,” the bean growled.
“Don’t get upset, I’m only teasing.” Ai laughed again. “And you’re the not only one with desires either. I admitted that I had a difficult time controlling myself, didn’t I?”
“But you did control yourself,” the bean muttered again.
The teacher laughed once more as she spun her girlfriend around to face her. “True… I suppose I did stop myself from kissing you back.” She slowly pushed Risa back until she reached the wall, and trapped her between her arms. “But now we’re in the privacy of your dressing room where no one is watching… so there is no reason for me to hold back now, is there, Risa?”
Slowly, Risa allowed her lips to curve up into a smile as she felt her irritation melt away. She really was putty in her teacher’s hand, but she didn’t really mind so much anymore.
“No,” she answered, chuckling. “There isn’t… Ai.”
Grinning, the older woman immediately pressed her lips against the bean’s, relishing the contact that she had so yearned for. Seeming to know what her lover wished for, Risa wrapped her arms around the woman’s neck and kissed her back lovingly, tangling her fingers in her hair. It was as if the two lovers were back in their fairy tale, surrounded by gossiping trees and curious forest animals, loving each other in their own world. Their conscious was completely preoccupied with thoughts of each other. So preoccupied, in fact, that they barely noticed the flash of light that came through the window pane on the dressing room door.
** ** **
“Are you sure we’re allowed to be up here?” Reina asked worriedly. “Shouldn’t we be down there, with the rest of the students, and wait for the fireworks to start?”
“That’s why we’re up here in the first place,” Eri grinned. “This is the best spot to watch fireworks; a couple of my friends and I did it last year and the view was amazing. Well, at least until Risa-chan caught us…”
The kitten laughed at her girlfriend scratching her head with a helpless shrug. The two lovebirds were on the rooftop, standing near the wired fence before the evening sky. After the incredible chaos that was the class play, Eri and Reina had thoroughly enjoyed themselves for the rest of the school festival, all the while successfully evading Junjun and her crew who continuously tried to stick close in order to tease them. After multiple visits to various food stands and returns to the purikura booth, the couple had finally decided to relax for a couple minutes before observing the annual fireworks, which would mark the end of another Haro Kotogakko festival. The turtle had suggested they go to the roof of the school building, away from the bustling crowd below, to be as close to the show as possible.
“Eri,” Reina started, “I just wanted to say today was a lot of fun. It’ll become a good memory. Arigatou.”
“It was fun for me too!” the turtle replied energetically. “We have to do this more often, nee?”
“Yes,” Reina nodded, smiling sadly for some reason. “As much as possible…”
Eri wrinkled her eyebrows in slight confusion at her girlfriend’s sudden change in attitude as Reina turned her head to stare up into the sky. Her mind seemed to be elsewhere, lingering in past memories… or even the thoughts that were to come.
“Nee,” she called. “Have you ever thought about your future?”
“My future?” Eri cocked her head to the side at the unexpected question.
“Like, what you want your life to be like when you get older,” Reina clarified, smiling a little. “We won’t be high school students forever. Sooner or later, we’ll have to hold our own.”
“I suppose…” Eri slowly agreed, “but why the sudden question?”
“Have you thought about it or not?” Reina insisted.
“… Not very deeply,” the turtle admitted. “Typically, I guess I’d go to college and finish my education there and then get a job… but I’m not sure if I even want to go to college. I mean, it just doesn’t seem like me to want to go to college. For Risa-chan, it’s a given, but for me… I think I’d rather get a job right away.” Eri glanced at her girlfriend who kept her gaze upon the stars. However, as though she knew her lover was waiting for a response, the kitten piped up.
“After I left Fukuoka, all I could think about was finishing high school,” she said softly. “Everything after that was a blank; I couldn’t envision myself doing anything. But recently… I decided that I want to go to college. Being a student for a little while longer doesn’t sound so bad to me. It’s almost like I’m keeping myself young for a little while longer so I can make up for the time I lost in being a part of a family. Now that Papa and I are talking again… I want us to be everything we weren’t able to be before. I’m sure that’s what Mama would want, too.”
Noting the small smile that unconsciously appeared on Reina’s lips, Eri grinned as she placed her hand on top of the kitten’s. “I’m proud of you,” she said. “And I know your father would appreciate your choice, too.”
“Well, of course,” Reina continued, grinning, “you’re in my plans for the future, too.”
“And you in mine,” Eri laughed.
“No matter what happens,” Reina said sincerely, “I’ll always have faith in you. So you must always have faith in me. I won’t ever let you go; you have to believe that. Can you promise me?”
“I promise,” Eri nodded. “And I won’t let you go either.”
Reina let out a sigh of a relief, although something still kept her on her toes. Eri seemed to notice this as she kept quiet, waiting for her girlfriend to say something more. After chewing on her lips for a little while, the kitten opened her mouth again.
“Remember when I said I had something to tell you, earlier today?”
“Yes, what is it?”
“You have to promise me that you’ll listen to the whole story,” Reina insisted. “Every word.”
“I promise, I promise,” the turtle assured. “What is it?”
“… I’ve decided—”
Suddenly, a loud whistle followed by a thunderous explosion made the two girls jump in shock. They quickly looked up into the sky to see various splashes of colors lighting up the rooftop as they heard the crowd below cheer loudly. Eri marveled at the fireworks as did Reina, but the kitten’s mind was preoccupied with something else. She looked at her lover’s face, bright with fascination, and knew it was now or never.
“Eri…”
“Yes?”
“… I’m going back to Fukuoka.”

Chapter 85
Eri lifelessly shuffled down the hallway, her school bag slung over her shoulders, as she kept her gaze on the floor. She continuously rubbed her eyes as though it would help to get rid of the dark circles she had acquired the previous night from lack of sleep. It most definitely had not been a peaceful night for the turtle as she had lain awake in her bed, unable to get her lover’s proclamation out of her mind. By this morning she had been so burned out that she even forgot to wait for Risa to walk to school together. The bean had sent her a disappointed text message but the turtle simply replied with a curt apology and continued on her way to school. She didn’t feel much like being questioned by Risa as to what her problem was.
But how could Reina just say such a thing? What was she thinking? So everything that she had said before that day was a sort of prelude? She indeed had been acting a little weird, talking about future and faith and whatnot… but in the end, it was this? She wanted to say goodbye?
And even the way she said it, with such simplicity and assurance… Truth be told, it had hurt. She had said it so calmly as though it was such a natural thing, giving no room for the turtle to even convince her otherwise. The way she said it… as though ‘farewell’ was inevitable…
^^^ ^^^
“… Wha… What?”
“I said, I’m going back to Fukuoka.”
Eri’s eyes widened in shock, unable to believe the words she had just heard. She could not understand—did not want to understand—what exactly Reina had intended to say.
“… I-I don’t understand,” Eri stuttered, trying to laugh. “You… you’re what?”
Reina sighed, disappointed that her girlfriend’s reaction was what she had expected, but not what had hoped for. “Eri, look—”
“Why would you want to go back to Fukuoka?” Eri asked, the pitch of her voice rising uncontrollably. “W-what about me? What about us?”
“Eri, you promised to listen—”
“Your father said he was okay with you staying in Tokyo!” Eri yelled, words exploding out of her. “He gave you permission yet… you’re going to leave me now?”
“You have to listen to me, Eri—”
“What is there to hear?” Eri cried, trying to blink away the tears. “You just said you’re going back to Fukuoka… You’re going to leave me! I thought you said I was in your future!”
“You are, just listen—”
“Reina, you may be brave enough to let go of us,” Eri said, her voice shaking, “but I’m not. I can’t accept this.”
“I’m not letting go, Eri, just—”
Before Reina could finish her words, Eri turned and ran towards the door leading to the stairs and sped down. She could hear her girlfriend’s voice calling out from behind her but she couldn’t make sense of any of her words anymore. Everything she had said, everything she was saying… nothing was real.
You must always have faith in me.
^^^ ^^^
“Hey! Watch where you’re going!”
With a gasp, Eri looked up to see that she had almost bumped into a group of girls. She quickly muttered a word of apology and moved out of the way. She was seriously starting to space out now.
How could she get over this crisis by herself? What was she supposed to do? Reina had been trying to call her and text her ever since she ran off like that but Eri just couldn’t get the courage to pick up the phone. It felt as though if she faced this head on, then it would really be all over. Reina would get to say everything she wants to say, and then leave with no regrets and nothing to tie her back. Eri knew she wouldn’t be able to bear words of goodbye.
“Hey, move out of the way!”
Eri jumped with a start again she felt herself being pushed over to the side as a crowd of students rushed past her. This time, the turtle was about to say something back, but then she noticed everyone was rushing down the hallway towards one direction. Wrinkling her eyebrows in confusion, Eri followed the rampaging group through the school until she saw a large bustling crowd by the school news bulletin as well as the basket of newspapers beside it. That was odd. Nobody ever read the school newspaper. She was sure the club was pretty much dead since it was just a couple of underclassmen playing make-believe.
Overtaken by curiosity, the turtle jumped into the mass of people and pushed through the bodies, mumbling words of apology and pleas of pardon. After much shoving and being shoved, Eri reached the wall where the board was hanging. There was a cut-out of the front page of the newspaper, pinned to the cork board, revealing a close-up of two women kissing. The main headlines stated, “Behind the Stage: The Fairy Tale Continues!” with the sub-headline below it reading, “Star Student and New Teacher in a Relationship?!” Eri gasped as her eyes widened in shock, unable believe the sight in front of her. How could this have happened? Who discovered the secret? Risa… did Risa know about this? And Sensei?
“Kame-chan, is this really true?” a soft voice behind the turtle asked. “Are Takahashi-sensei and Gaki-san really… like that?”
Eri whipped around to face a couple familiar faces from her class. “Asami-chan…”
“That’s disgusting!” a different voice yelled from somewhere. “A girl and a girl in a relationship…”
“They did seem a bit too close for a teacher and a student…”
“But if they truly like each other, it shouldn’t matter, right?”
“This is serious taboo, it’s messed up…”
“I’m sure the teacher talked her into it; Gaki-san would never…”
“I knew that Niigaki girl wasn’t perfect…”
“This is just wrong…”
Eri shook her head, trying to tune out the overlapping voices from her surroundings. When she opened her eyes, she saw her friend, pushing in through the crowd.
“There you are, Kameha!” the bean groaned. “I was looking for you everywhere! What’s going on—”
As her eyes shifted towards the pinned-up article, Risa froze in place. All the whispers curses and gossip entered her ears, filling her thoughts.
That’s the girl… How can Niigaki-san… That’s just repulsive… How sickening… A teacher and a student… The teacher should go to jail… I never would’ve thought Takahashi-sensei would… She’s going to be fired now… The principal is talking to her and… Takahashi-sensei… Sensei is…
“Sensei,” Risa mumbled, breaking out of her chain of thoughts. “I-I-I have to go find…”
“Risa, calm down—”
“I have to find her!” Risa yelled. “Sh-she’s in trouble, I can feel it, I-I have to go find…”
Before Eri could stop her, Risa quickly pushed out of the crowd and ran off. The turtle followed suit but before she could run after her friend, a group of girls holding a pile of newspapers, refilling the basket, caught her eyes.
“We have more print-outs, right here!” the short-haired girl announced.
“Bringing you the latest!” the ponytail girl chimed in.
“Only one per student!” the more mature-looking girl yelled with a worried expression. “The printer’s running out of ink…”
The crowd quickly rushed over to the basket to pick up more copies. Scowling, Eri marched over to the four girls and glared at them. As the girls stared back at her in confusion, the gleaming camera around the neck of the girl who stood silently caught the turtle’s eyes.
“… Did you want a copy…?” the short-haired girl asked slowly.
“You’re the one who took that picture?” Eri asked through her teeth, ignoring the other girl.
“… Yeah,” the tiny girl with the long black hair answered. “What about it?”
Clenching her teeth, Eri quickly ripped the camera off the girl’s neck without warning. Before anyone could stop her, she smashed it down on the floor, allowing the broken pieces scatter on the tiles. The crowd that was rushing towards the newspaper basket suddenly froze and fell silent. Three of the girls of the newspaper club gasped in shock and covered their mouth, staring at the turtle with fear in their eyes. The camera girl merely stared at what was left of her camera with a look of indifference, other than her wide eyes.
“That’s for my friend,” Eri said in a low voice, her chest heaving up and down in anger. “You girls… have no idea what you’ve just done.”
** ** **
Sensei… Sensei… Ai-chan…
Risa sped down the hallway, searching left and right for her lover. People in the hallway either stared at her with pity in their eyes or with a judgmental look. Some even laughed at her spitefully, waving the school newspaper in front of them, displaying the front page. But Risa ignored all distractions and continued to run, which wasn’t so difficult since there was only one thing she could think of at this moment.
Before she even knew it, Risa realized she was standing in front of the principal’s office. She vaguely remembered someone saying back by the bulletin board that Takahashi-sensei was talking to the principal. Without another moment’s hesitation, the bean swung open the door and burst into the office.
“Sensei!”
Ai turned to look at the intruder with an alarmed expression. Realizing it was Risa, she quickly turned back to face the principal who was seated calmly at her desk.
“Come on, Nakazawa Kouchou-sensei,” she spoke quickly. “It’ll all be over if you just do one thing. You can put an end to everything.”
“I prefer not to fire my employees so easily, Takahashi-kun,” the principal replied, pursing her lips together, “even in such dire situations.”
“F-fire?” Risa gasped, stammering in shock. “Y-you’re going to… f-fire… Sensei?”
“If you don’t fire me, I’ll resign,” Ai shot back, her eyes unwavering.
“Sensei, you can’t resign!” Risa yelled. She quickly dashed over to her lover’s side and grabbed her arm as if to hold her back. “Think about what you’re doing; you can’t lose this job!”
“Niigaki-san, I need you to stay quiet for now,” Ai ordered without breaking eye contact with her employer. She shook away the hand that was holding on to her arm and placed both hands on the principal’s desk. Risa’s eyes widened at her teacher’s cold reaction towards her, but decided to remain silent as she was asked. For now.
“It’s no use, Takahashi-kun,” the principal sighed. “I simply won’t accept your letter of resignation. Let’s not be rash about making decisions.”
“This is the time to be rash, Kouchou-sensei!” Ai argued, slamming her hand down on the desk. “The news is all over the school and soon, it’ll be all over town. This school’s reputation will be tainted if you don’t send me out, right now.”
“Well, you obviously didn’t make the headlines alone, Takahashi-kun,” Nakazawa-sensei said. “What about this girl, right here? Should I expel her, too?”
“… Leave her out of this,” Ai said in a low voice, her sharp eyes, threatening.
“No, leave me in!” Risa jumped in again, facing the principal. “If you’re firing Sensei, then I should be punished in some way, too.”
“That’s too bad,” the principal sighed, “because I’d really hate to expel you or suspend you, Niigaki-kun. You’ve always been a model student.”
“Then leave her alone and just fire me,” Ai urged. “I’ll leave. The public will say that I seduced the poor girl; I’ll take the blame. So leave her out.”
“No, you can’t do that!” Risa disagreed. She quickly turned to her teacher. “Stop saying things like that, Sensei! Aren’t we supposed to be in this together? I won’t have you take my burdens as well!”
“Niigaki-san, please just stay quiet—”
“No, I won’t stay quiet! You can’t do that, Sensei—”
“If you know what’s good for you, don’t say anything—”
“I don’t need you to cover for me; I can hold my own—”
“NO, YOU CAN’T!”
Suddenly, Ai turned towards the bean and grabbed her shoulders, locking eyes together. Shock was visibly displayed on Risa’s face as she watched teardrops stream down her lover’s cheeks. She could feel Ai’s fingers clenching around her skin, making her shoulders ache. Her expression was that of being in pain, regretting that there was so little she could do to protect the one she loved.
“You… you can’t give up like this, Risa…” Ai whispered, her voice growing weak with each tear. “If you get expelled now, you’ll lose everything. Us being in this together to be fair to each other is not a good enough reason for you to give up on your life.”
“I can’t have you sacrifice yourself for me, Ai,” Risa replied, her voice cracking. “I won’t be able to live that down. Not for me—”
“Please, Risa!” Ai begged, crying uncontrollably. “Think of it as a favor to me… You have a whole future ahead of you; don’t throw it away like I did. It’s painful, you know? Wondering everyday what you could’ve been but wasn’t able to be because of your own mistakes… Don’t put yourself through that, Risa. Don’t be like me…”
Risa felt her entire body tremble as she watched the one she loved cry in front of her, breaking down visibly. They were such an idiotic couple, crying for themselves because there was so little to do for the other… It pained Risa to admit it but she knew that her making it out of this mess safely was what would make her lover happiest. Ai had loved her like a second chance in life. Through her, she would be able to experience the joys of life that she wasn’t able to personally acquire. If Risa was to lose everything like this… that would be killing Ai twice. And there was no guarantee she would be able to get back up the second time around.
“… Please don’t cry…” Risa wrapped her arms around the weak woman as the hands on her shoulders naturally went around her neck to form a hug. “I don’t want to see you cry…”
“I guess this is settled, then,” the principal said quietly, drawing the attention back to herself. “As much as I hate to lose either of you, someone needs to take the fall.”
“I’m prepared for anything,” Ai said in a hoarse voice.
“You’re still young Takahashi-kun,” Nakazawa-sensei said, “and an excellent teacher. I’m sure we can control the press until the end of the school year. Then, I’ll request for you to be relocated to a different school. I’ll write a nice recommendation, so you have nothing to worry about. But you’ll have to get out of Tokyo’s vicinity at once, where this news won’t reach. You’ll have to go far… are you okay with that?”
“Anywhere is fine,” Ai quickly replied, nodding. “And Risa?”
“Niigaki-kun… I’ll let off with a temporary suspension, starting tomorrow,” the principal decided. “Your record is perfect anyway; maybe a week of suspension on your resume will ensure the colleges that you’re still human.”
“Arigatou gozaimasu, Kouchou-sensei,” Risa said quietly, bowing.
“Good,” the principal nodded. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I must go deal with the press to keep their mouths shut. Go back to class now, both of you.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remember how I said I had the whole fic planned out?
I recently changed a couple parts and it ended up getting shorter... i realized some parts were just unnecessary to the plot and I was just stretching it out way too much :nervous
So yeah, it's a bit shorter than what I originally planned but... I think it'll be fine :D
Since its a surprise, i guess you guys'll know it's the end when it comes XD
:byebye: :sleep:
-
:OMG: Ai....Risa........Reina....Eri....I....SarangAi......... gyahhhh~ :imdead:
*revives* You've managed to kill me twice in a roll with these uploads lol .
Ok, FIRST i wanna say.. THANK YOU for not taking long to upload because the suspense wouldve honestly kilt me.. :nervous
I wonder what else Reina has to say.. Something tells me it might be good... Though i can understand why Eri wont let her speak.. HEARTBREAKING.. I sense she feels betrayed, but.. Now Reina kinda see how it feels for her to not be able to speak when she has something to explain (When she found out Eri was a girl she too didnt let her say nothing) at this moment im like this --> :fainted: with them..
Risa and Ai... I dont even know where to start or stop for that matter :sweatdrop:
They did get caught huh..... I........ *lost for words*
And this chappie was pretty short at first i thought i read it to fast since i was so excited there was an upload lol :nervous
It's sad knowing that the end is slowly approaching..
What a way to start off 2012, Something told me i shouldve waited til maybe a good rest til i read this.... I just couldnt help it :bleed eyes:
P.S HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~
P.S.S Yay me for 1st commentor~ <3
-
Wae you break all of them all together? ; A ;?!?!!?!
Oh *coughs* Sorry, for I have not introduced myself. OTZ. A new fan here~ xDDDD I have been following your amazing fanfic for a while, I read everything from start to recent for like I don't remember... 2 days? XDDD It was a bit long... but I enjoyed every bit of it and I regret nothing. xDDD Now I wonder what would happen to our two young couples? o A o There must be a way to not separate ;___; I can't wait for the next chapter, and Happy New Year!!
Well... before my blabbing gets longer, I shall go back into the lurking side. *disappears into darkness*
-
Well this wasnt a very cheery chapter for the new year...... :cry:
seems as though the trust that these girls have for each other is going to be tested to the Max, I wonder if Reina can make Eri see what she is trying to do though......
And in alot of ways Im glad the principle was so understanding towards Ai, gives her.... and Risa some time
-
Even with that warning, how can you expect me to not read it :bleed eyes: How can you just drop a bomb like this on us on NEW YEAR'S DAY :bleed eyes: :bleed eyes:
On Eri x Reina drama... my reaction: :bleed eyes: She should at least hear her out.. Well when Reina found out Eri was a girl and ran away, Eri did all the chasing. I guess now that Eri is the one that ran away, its Reina's turn to do the chasing. Though I'm not sure the first strategy Junjun suggested will work here :sweatdrop:
Ai x Risa drama.. my reaction: :bleed eyes: Did you heart that? That's the sound of MY HEART SHATTERING. Wah at least understanding principal is understanding. All of that was too much. I somehow naively thought that they'd manage to get through unscathed.
Anyways... I will be waiting for all of this to be fixed and my heart to be mended :shifty:
-
Umm...It's always be like this.
I think Reina will come to the turtle house or the turtle will do something.
But, I think that the turtle's parents are in Fukuoka, am I right? :nervous
Oh...AiGaki
Even Kouchou can shut the press mouths, what else Gaki-han will be done after Ai-chan gone :cry:
Oh...
About upalupa
In English it's called Axolotl or Mexican Salamander.
In Japanese, it's Upalupa（ウーパールーパー）.
(http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg113/3rd_Bear/Axolotl.jpg)
I refer it to Riho because she said that it's looked like her.
:3
-
:imdead:
Good god, what a way to put some drama in the fic. Eri getting all violent for Risa was something I definitely wanted to see, though, lol. Know what really kills me, though... They have to go back to class now...
Let the bullying begin!
-
WHAT IS THIS??!?!?!?! why is aiai spereating everyone???? ;3; this is all i can say for now :cry:
edit
k after rereading i still feel emo ;3; 1st of all i'm guessing reina was trying to say that she wouldnt be moving until maybe after she graduates? idk thats what it kinda sounds like, i feel bad for eri too, cus she's heartbroken now too.
now for takagaki....aiai i had so many emotions but cus my mom was home i couldnt XD i was really hopping that if anything riho took the pic, saw it and just deleated it cus she didnt really care bout that but no, riho riho had to go along with it...though i'd love to see how on earth ponpon, and zukki would've reacted to seeing the pic XDDD it was good to see eri get pretty ticked off over it, and im wondering that while this drama/gossip will go on if eri will be pretty defensive over risa while she's susspended. i mean im sure eri's gonna get questioned alot for this since she's the closest to risa, and plus with her own delema i just hope eri can function and just soldier on through.
for risa it's going to be one long hellish week...i mean eventhough gakimama knows about them, risa's probably gonna be stressing about how she'll tell her mom, and plus with the long distance away from ai i feel like she's gonna be an emotional mess
i need the next chappy now and it better be a bit cheerful aiai! ;3;
-
Some good Drama to start 2012 xD
This is gonna be interesting.... I'm looking forward it *u*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 86
The click-clack of Takahashi-sensei’s heels filled the empty corridor. Classes had already begun so all the students were out of the hallways and in their classrooms. No doubt, none of them were paying attention to what was actually being taught since they were probably all too busy texting each other about the latest gossip concerning the taboo relationship between a certain teacher and a student.
Risa quietly followed her teacher, walking slightly behind her. She stared at Ai’s back, worn out by stress and exhaustion from the recent happening. She still could not get her lover’s tear-ridden face out of her mind, despite the fact that those tears had been quickly wiped away after leaving the principal’s office.
What could she do in her own power? She hated that her teacher was being kicked out of the school while she was only temporarily being suspended. And all of this was just because they loved each other and the world wasn’t ready to accept them. Risa had half the mind to follow her lover to wherever she is sent to, in order to stay together, but to be honest, she hated the idea of leaving school. She felt terrible and selfish about thinking this way but she knew Ai was right when she said Risa had worked much too hard to give up everything now. But she didn’t want to give up on Ai either…
After the silent journey, the two lovers finally reached the classroom. Ai cautiously slid the door open and walked in, followed by the bean. All the students stopped what they were doing and turned to stare at the pair, walking into the room. It was obvious that they had all been whispering to each other about what was going on.
Ai cleared her throat as she walked to the front podium and placed her books down. Risa walked towards her seat, calmly, as did all the other students except Eri, who had been seated at her desk the entire time, refusing to take part in any gossip. Besides, she was sure half the whispering was about her, breaking a little first-year student’s camera in the hallway and scaring the newspaper club girls to death.
“Everybody in their seats?” Takahashi-sensei asked, acting the same as always. “We’ll continue on from where we left off last class, on page—”
“Excuse me, Sensei. I have something to say.”
All eyes immediately went towards Chinami, who stood up whilst raising her hand. Her face had a look of defiance as she coldly gazed at her teacher.
“Yes, Tokunaga-san?” Ai answered. “What is it?”
“A couple of us have decided that we can’t accept you as our teacher anymore,” she claimed, eliciting nods from a couple other students.
Ai swallowed hard, making decent effort to keep her face expressionless. “And why is that?”
“We refuse to learn from a teacher who lied to us about such a big part of her life,” Chinami said firmly.
“We think trust is an important element in class that a teacher has to earn,” Saki suddenly said, also standing up. “And you let us down.”
“Hey, wait a minute!” Risa interrupted, jumping up. “Just the other day, we all loved Sensei and now you’re all turning your backs on her?”
“You have no right to say anything either, Iinchou!” Chinami yelled. “You lied to us, just like Sensei!”
“Neither of you are the people we thought you were,” Saki said.
“And you two were an item the entire time, right under our noses…” Chinami laughed dryly. “You really give the term ‘teacher’s pet’ a whole new meaning—”
“Watch your mouth, Tokunaga!” Yurina suddenly yelled angrily, getting up.
“That’s right, you’re going too far,” Risako agreed, scowling.
“Everyone needs to just cool it for a moment,” Maasa sighed.
“What, you guys don’t agree with me?” Chinami spat out, ignoring her friend’s warning. “They lied to us, both of them! I don’t know about you guys but I can’t be here together with people that lie about who they are. The Sensei and Iinchou we thought we knew aren’t real.”
Some students quickly agreed, shooting disappointed looks at their teacher and the class representative. Risa bit down on her lip as she glanced at her lover who remained still, showing no emotion other than the sad, lonely look in her eyes. What could she do… What could she do in her own power…?
“What the hell… are you all stupid?”
The room slowly fell silent as the students directed their attention towards the turtle who had spoken up. She was glaring at everybody in the room which was an unusual attitude for her. She looked angry but also conflicted, as though she was having a tough time making a decision.
“What are you saying, Kamei?” one guy retorted back. “Defending your little friend?”
“I’m saying you guys are all seriously stupid if you think anything has changed about Sensei and Risa just because we now know about their relationship,” Eri growled. “They’re still the same Takahashi-sensei and Niigaki Risa.”
“Not to us, they’re not,” Saki shot back. “None of us knew that they were really… that… together…”
“So is it because they’re both girls?” Eri boldly inquired. “Is that why you guys are so pissed off? Does it disgust you? Or is it the fact that Sensei is six years older than Risa?”
“It’s everything!” Chinami yelled. “Nothing was supposed to be like this; this isn’t normal!”
“… So just because you find out that Risa and Sensei aren’t normal, as you put it,” Eri said quietly, “they’re different people to you now…”
Silently, Eri rose from her seat and quickly took out something that looked like a small piece of paper from between the pages of her notebook. She held it against her chest, hiding the contents, and walked over to Makoto who was sitting near the front and stood in front of her.
“Makocchan,” Eri said, smiling a little, “I’m your friend, right?”
“… Huh?” Makoto raised an eyebrow, confused by the sudden question.
“We’ve known each other since the beginning of middle school,” Eri continued. “It’s safe to say that we’re friends, right?”
“… Um… yeah, I guess…”
“And true friends stick by each other, right?” Eri insisted. “No matter what happens, right?”
“Yeah, of course.”
Satisfied by Makoto’s answer, Eri nodded as she smiled quietly to herself. Then, she quickly walked to the front of the room to face the class. She revealed the small piece of paper that she had hid before and held it up for her peers to see. Immediately, gasps of shock elicited from the students as they realized what Eri was showing them. Risa’s eyes widened at the sight. It was a purikura sheet, packed with tiny pictures of Eri and Reina kissing, hugging, laughing, and smiling. A sense of urgency ran through Risa; what was this girl thinking?
“I took this purikura at the festival,” Eri announced. “That girl in the picture? That’s Reina. She’s my girlfriend.”
A shocked reaction immediately surfaced but Eri ignored it.
“I love this girl more than anything else in the world. But just because we’re both girls, it doesn’t mean our love is any different. We both believe in each other and know that we won’t let go of each other…”
You must always have faith in me.
“Even if we hurt each other at times, we know there is always a reason for things…”
You have to promise me that you’ll listen to the whole story.
“And at the end of the day, we’re both grateful for each other…”
You’re in my plans for the future, too.
Eri blinked a couple times, taking in the flashbacks that were returning to her. This was her answer. It had been the answer all along but Eri had just been too blind to see it. The solution as to how to deal with this crisis had always been in front of her…
As Eri sniffled a little, holding the tears back, a small wave of whispering and murmuring shed over the class. Risa and Ai could not hide the shock from their faces. Just what was the turtle planning?
“So now you all know that I’m not ‘normal’ either,” Eri said firmly, smiling a little. “But you know what? I’ve been going out with Reina since last semester! And you guys were all friends with me during that time. Just because you now know that I’m in a relationship, it doesn’t mean I’m any different from who I was before. I’m still Kamei Eri! That same old aho girl always sleeps in class… I’m still me.”
The class remained surprised by Eri’s speech. A couple of them started to whisper amongst each other, trying to make sense of the current situation. Their resolution seemed to be wavering because of what Eri had done. She had proven that absolutely nothing had changed about herself, nor about their teacher or Risa. No lie had been told…
“It’s okay like this, isn’t it?”
Heads turned towards the quiet girl who slowly stood up from her seat. Asami smiled at the turtle, shrugging indifferently.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Eri’s relationship with her girlfriend, or the relationship between Sensei and Gaki-san,” she stated. “Rather, if they were willing to go against the world in order to stay together, I think their love is the strongest one of all.”
Smiling in appreciation from Asami’s encouragement, Eri walked back towards Makoto and faced her.
“Makocchan,” she said, “am I still your friend?”
Makoto immediately grinned and jokingly pushed the turtle. “Of course I am, aho Kame!” she laughed. “Nothing has changed, you know.”
“Arigatou,” Eri grinned. She turned to face the rest of the class. “And what about the rest of you? Am I any different of a person, now that I’ve confessed?”
The students that had rebelled glanced at each other, their resolution wavering. Chinami sighed before smiling a little.
“Of course not,” she said, her expression softening. “You’ll always be the boke in our class.”
“And… Iinchou will always be the tsukkomi,” Nakky also said, smiling a little at the class representative. “She’ll never change.”
“And Sensei will always be Sensei,” Maasa grinned. “Tough, but fair.”
“I should apologize,” Chinami sighed, looking at Risa and her teacher, “to both of you. I guess the news just kind of came as a shock to me. I should’ve placed my trust in you two before the stupid newspaper. I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry, too,” Saki apologized. The other students followed suit, murmuring words of apology.
“We should’ve been the first ones to protect you, not turn against you,” Chinami said. “It’s a bit delayed but… we’ll do that now.”
“Yeah, nobody bad-mouths our Sensei and Iinchou!” Makoto yelled energetically.
“You two are part of our class,” Yurina grinned, “so we stick with you guys.”
“From now on, it’s okay to depend on us,” Asami said softly, smiling.
Looking around at her classmates’ bright faces, Risa couldn’t help but smile. They were all willing to accept her and her lover the way they were! And Eri… she had even risked her own safety to convince the others. So this was what true friends were…
“Hey! Look! Sensei’s crying!”
Risa along with the other students immediately turned their heads towards their teacher who indeed was shedding tears. She gasped as she quickly wiped her eyes with her sleeves, as though she herself had no knowledge of the fact that she had been crying. The students fell into a commotion, taken off guard by their teacher’s sudden emotional reaction.
“Sensei! Why are you crying?” Risako asked.
“Wait, did I miss something?” Makoto mumbled, confused. “What happened?”
“I-I’m sorry, everyone…” Ai stuttered, laughing shakily. She continued to wipe her wet cheeks but the tears didn’t stop. “I-I don’t even know why I’m crying, I just…”
Then, the teacher broke down and started to sob into her hands, crying nonstop. The class went into frenzy as they started to panic and wonder how to help their teacher. Some students even started to rummage through their bags for a handkerchief or a tissue.
However, Risa stayed calm as she quietly smiled. She knew that her teacher was crying only because she was happy. Ai had become a teacher in order to lead students into the right path. When her credentials were questioned, she had felt as though she had failed in becoming a good role model. Her second chance at making things right had wasted away. But now that she realized all her students still respected and appreciated her, the release from the anxiety and terror had snapped something within her. The feeling of being loved by so many people like this was something she had never experienced before.
Amidst the panic, Risa walked up to the front of the room to the podium to face her teacher. The students fell back into silence as they watched the bean remove Ai’s hands from her face. The older woman’s face was red and streaked with tears as she hiccupped uncontrollably. Risa chuckled; her lover seemed so innocent and weak like a little girl. Ai had always been the one who took care of her but this time, Risa wanted to be the one to be depended upon. She raised her own hands and carefully wiped the tears away from her lover’s eyes.
“I told you I don’t want to see you cry, Ai,” she said softly, smiling.
“You did, didn’t you?” Ai croaked, laughing. “Gomene, Risa.”
“You two are already on a first name basis?” Makoto remarked in awe. “Cool.”
“Well, they are going out,” Yurina said, rolling her eyes.
“You know, six years really isn’t that bad,” Maasa shrugged. “Come to think of it, my parents are five years apart.”
“Alright, everybody needs to settle down,” Nakky ordered like the director she was. “Half the period is already gone, you know.”
“Yes, I think it’s time class finally started,” Asami agreed.
As everybody else agreed, Risa smiled at her lover and squeezed her hand one last time. “If you would please… Sensei?”
“I’d be honored,” Ai chuckled, wiping the last of her tears away. “Minna-san, seki ni tsuite kudasai. Please take your seats.”
The students quickly rushed around the class to find their own seats. As Risa and Eri sat down, they caught each other’s eyes and grinned, a mutual and knowing feeling crossing between them.
“Iinchou,” Ai smiled. “Onegaishimasu.”
Risa grinned as she started her daily duties. “Kiritsu!” The class stood up in unision.
“Kiyotsuke!” All students stood up straight and tall.
“Rei! Onegaishimasu!” All the students copied Risa’s actions and bowed to their teacher before sitting back down.
“Well then,” Ai said confidently, “shall we start class?”

Chapter 87
“You know, today actually wasn’t all that bad, if you think about it,” Eri remarked, linking her arm together with Risa’s. “It was a rather peaceful day, don’t you think?”
“Yeah,” Risa answered sarcastically, “other than finding my shoes filled with thumbtacks and your gym clothes covered with mud and a bunch of other things that went wrong today, everything was peachy.”
Eri giggled as Risa rolled her eyes at the ridiculousness of the turtle. After surviving multiple attempts at the safety of their belongings and themselves, the two friends had managed to come out of school alive by the end of the day. People had talked about Risa and Ai’s tabooed relationship the entire day whether it was behind their backs or to their faces. And somehow, the news of Eri’s little confession about how she had a girlfriend also got out and spread like wildfire, allowing the bullying to get to her as well.
“You know, half the bullying was actually because they were jealous,” Eri remarked.
“I guess the guys really did have huge crushes on Sensei,” Risa muttered.
“Oh please, none of them ever had a chance with her anyway,” Eri spat out.
“Well, I heard that a lot of guys were heartbroken that you were going out with someone already,” Risa grinned.
“What?!” Eri shrilled. “Why?”
“Why not?” Risa chuckled. “You’re a cute girl. A lot of guys had crushes on you.”
“They did?” the turtle asked, unable to believe her ears. “But… I’m totally uncute! And I’m really tomboyish too…”
“Maybe it’s the hair,” Risa teased. “The longer it gets, the more guys line up~”
“Mou, yamette yo!” Eri laughed, gently pushing her friend. She unconsciously twirled her finger in her hair, which was up to the middle of her torso now.
“Oh, by the way,” Risa started, “we should thank our classmates tomorrow. They really helped us out today.”
Despite the original rebellion against the class representative and the teacher, Eri and Risa’s classmates had kept their promise. When a group of girls sneaked into the classroom to vandalize Risa’s desk, Yurina and Chinami had luckily been there to stop it. When someone tried to trip Eri in the hallway, Asami had warned her before she could walk on. Even when Ai almost got splashed with dirty water by a couple students who claimed it was an “accident”, Nakky and Maasa had caught them before they could commit the deed. All the students in class 2-4 had been on full-alert for the entire day, watching out for their two classmates and their teacher.
“Yeah, it was nice of our classmates to protect us like that,” Eri said. “I’m really grateful.”
“Yeah, me too,” Risa nodded. “And… I’m grateful to you too.”
“Me?” Eri raised an eyebrow. “For what?”
“For standing up for me like that,” Risa smiled. “I was very… happy… when you risked your own secret like that for me. It was one of those moments when I’m glad you’re my friend. Arigatou, Eri.”
“… Mou, Risa-chan!” Eri whined, looking as though she was about to cry. “Don’t say touching things like that! Mou… Risa-chan daisuki!”
Eri quickly jumped to hug her friend and squeezed her tightly. Risa choked a little as she slowly patted the turtle’s back.
“Okay, I get it, I love you, too,” she wheezed. “Now let go; I can’t breathe!”
Laughing, Eri backed away as she quickly grabbed Risa’s arm again. The bean shook her head as she grinned, knowing it was impossible for her to ever scold Eri when she smiled like that.
“By the way, though…” Risa said, “are you sure Tanakacchi will be okay with you announcing your relationship with her to the entire school?”
“It’ll be fine,” the turtle shrugged. “It was necessary. Besides, she won’t even be here soon enough…”
“… Ha?” Risa’s eyes widened. “Wait, what do you—”
“Nee, I have somewhere I need to stop by before going home,” Eri said quickly, smiling. “Go ahead home without me, okay? Watch out for anybody else trying to bully you!”
“Wait, Kame—”
Before Risa could finish her phrase, the turtle quickly ran ahead across the field towards the front gate. The bean had half the mind to chase after her but she knew she was no match for her friend when it came to running. So she settled for yelling instead.
“Oi! Kameha!” she shouted. “Are you okay?!”
“I’m fine!” Eri yelled, looking back at the bean with a big smile.
“Are you sure?!”
“I’m very sure!”
With that, the turtle turned around again and started to run. She was, indeed, very sure she was okay now. She was no longer confused about what she had to do. Deep inside, she had always known what her next step was but she had refused to take it, for fear of greater pain ahead. But she had realized that there is always a reason for pain, and even if it hurts, she would never be able to not forgive her lover.
As various thoughts washed over Eri’s mind, her legs unconsciously took her to the place she desired to go to. She would trust her. She would trust her and keep faith in her, like she was asked to. She would not break her promise with her again. Though late, she wished to keep her word. That was the least she could do for her, after everything they had been through together. She would not let her down.
Before she knew it, Eri was out of the bustling town and on a quiet street lined with houses. Instinctively, she stopped in front of a familiar white house. Taking a deep breath, Eri walked up the steps and pressed the door bell. She heard footsteps approaching and soon, the door opened.
“Who is—”
Reina stopped as she realized who her visitor was. Her girlfriend stood at the door, breathing heavily from the running. She smiled a little.
“I’m ready to listen,” Eri said.
Reina also smiled. “I knew you’d keep your promise,” she replied. “I had faith in you.”
“… Arigatou.”
Arigatou… Even though I’m unworthy of your faith, thank you for believing in me. Arigatou.

Reina stopped as she realized who her visitor was. Her girlfriend stood at the door, breathing heavily from the running. She smiled a little.
“I’m ready to listen,” Eri said.
Reina also smiled. “I knew you’d keep your promise,” she replied. “I had faith in you.”
“… Arigatou.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 88
How strange. This was a strange moment. Of course, odder things had happened to Risa, including falling in love with a woman six years older than her who happened to be her teacher and having a friend who dressed up as a boy to win a girl’s heart, but this was quite strange as well. Rather, it was frightening.
Risa stared at her door handle with an unwavering gaze as though she was casting a spell on it. When she had stuck her key in the front door to open it a couple seconds ago, she had found that the lock was already turned. She was sure that she locked the door before going to school that morning despite the rush to catch up to the turtle. But alas, the door was clearly unlocked.
The bean stared at the door handle for another good minute, trying to decide whether to walk in and see if there is an intruder in her home or run right to the police station that instant. But then again, there were no markings around the key hole that the lock had been picked so a key had been clearly used. Perhaps the apartment patrol officer had used the spare key to get in? But for reason? She didn’t remember ordering any packages…
Mustering up her courage, Risa boldly grabbed the door handle and slowly opened the door. She quietly stepped into her home, removing her shoes silently. She heard some clacking noises in the kitchen; was it really a burglar?
Swallowing hard, Risa took off her backpack and held it by a single strap, positioning herself to be able to swing it if need be. She carefully crept down the hall and into the kitchen. From a couple feet away, around the corner, she saw the back of a familiar person who was digging through the refrigerator. Exhaling sharply, Risa dropped her backpack.
“Mama?”
The woman by the refrigerator jumped at the sound of herself being called and quickly turned around to face her daughter. She grinned, revealing the bright smile that Risa had genetically inherited, as her eyes shined.
“Risa-chan!” she exclaimed. “You’re home!”
The mother skittered over to her daughter with her arms open and hugged her tightly. Still confused, Risa gently tapped her mother’s back.
“Mama?” she said again. “What are you doing home so early? It’s only mid-noon; don’t you have work?”
“I did,” Mama Gaki answered. “I’m done for today, though. So I came home.”
“Did you get laid off?” Risa asked in a panicked tone. “What’d you do this time?”
“Mou, Risa-chan! Mama is sad!” the mother pouted. “I just came home early because I wanted to see my cute daughter and your first instinct is to assume that I got laid off? And that it was my fault? If anything, it would be the economy’s fault and my asshole-of-a-boss’s fault.”
“You know, normally, parents tend to retrain vulgar language usage in front of their kid,” Risa grumbled, rolling her eyes.
“Maa, I guess I’m getting scolded by my adorable daughter again today!” Mama Gaki sighed, giggling as she hugged Risa some more. “I guess I still have much to learn…”
“So, did you get laid off?” the bean asked again.
“Heavens, no!” Mama Gaki gasped. “That would be terrible. If I lost this job, then I’d really have to work as a hostess or something.”
“Mama, you’re a middle-aged woman,” the bean moaned tiredly. “Middle-aged women don’t work as hostesses.”
“I could pass for a twenty-something year old woman though,” Mama Gaki smiled. “Don’t you think so?”
“… Okay, Mama, really, why are you home?” Risa questioned, deciding to ignore her mother’s never-ending immature comments.
“I took an early leave,” the mother shrugged. She walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. Risa followed and stood in front of her.
“You never take a leave,” the bean said. “Did something happen?”
“Well, you tell me,” the mother replied. “Your principal already filled me in on everything as to why you are suspended for a week, but I want to hear it from you.”
Oh, shoot. Risa gulped as her body stiffened. Her mother could be immature but when it came to school issues… Well, how would she react to school issues? This sort of thing had never happened before since Risa had always been the best student in the school. Her mother had never had to worry about such things. But now that she got suspended… just how angry and disappointed would her mother be?
And even worse, if the reasoning for her suspension had also been revealed, then Risa knew she was in bigger trouble. She couldn’t imagine her mother’s shock when Nakazawa-sensei told her that her perfect daughter and the epitome of her pride and happiness had been caught in a scandal with her teacher. What would her mother think of her now? Was she a monster to her?
“… Everything is as you heard,” Risa answered quietly. “I… I’m suspended because I’m in a relationship with Takahashi-sensei. And the whole school found out. Sensei is being transferred at the end of the year… for me, it’s just suspension.”
Risa looked at the floor, not daring to look at her mother’s face. She did not wish to see the apparent disappointment. All she heard was a deep sigh from her.
“Risa—”
“Mama, I’m sorry!” Risa said quickly without looking up. “I… I tried so hard to be a good daughter so I wouldn’t worry you. My grades never slip and… and… I make my own lunches… and… I just, I-I tried! I really tried! But… I can’t help but love Sensei. I, really, tried so hard… I’m sorry I let you down. I know you might think this is wrong, but… I really, really do love her. I’m sorry, Mama, I—”
Before Risa could continue to rant, she felt a pair of warm arms embrace her lovingly. She stopped and blinked in confusion, surprised by her mother’s action. She was… hugging her? But why? Why wasn’t she yelling at her, telling her that she was disappointed in her? How could her mother still remain so warm…?
“… Mama?”
“Shh,” the mother hushed, rubbing her daughter’s worn back. “It’s okay, Risa. Calm down.”
“But… but aren’t you furious with me?” Risa asked. “I got suspended! You’re not… you’re not upset?”
“Of course not,” Mama Gaki said. She backed away and cupped her daughter’s face, examining the daughter that had grown up so quickly. “Have I ever been upset with you before?”
“No…” Risa mumbled. “But… but this time around—”
“Hontou ni ganbatteta ne?” Mama Gaki said, smiling proudly. “You really did your best out there. You’ve been through a lot recently, haven’t you?”
“Mama…” Risa felt the warmth of her mother’s hands on her cheeks. It was the warmth that she had missed for so long, the warmth that she should’ve received more as a child… The warmth that she had lived without, allowing herself to become a grown-up child…
“I’m so sorry I haven’t been able to be there for you, sweetie,” the mother sighed, smiling sadly. “Even though I’m supposed to be your mother… I often find myself in your care more than I find you in mine. I’m so sorry you’re stuck with a mother like me, Risa.”
“Don’t say that, Mama!” Risa argued, taking her mother’s hands and squeezing them. Her hands were a lot bonier than she remembered; the result of laboring 365 days a year to give her daughter the good life she deserved. “You’ve been working to support me all these years… There isn’t a day that goes by without my being grateful for you. You’re the reason I believe a god exists… To have gotten such a wonderful mother… I love you, Mama.”
“I love you too, my Risa,” the mother said, her voice breaking as she flashed a bright smile again. Her daughter had indeed grown up into such a beautiful young lady who knows how to care for others. That wasn’t something she had taught; it was a self-acquired trait. And as a mother, she couldn’t be more grateful to Risa for becoming who she was. “And I want you to know that no matter what, I’ll always be proud of you. I’ll always be your ally and I’ll always trust that you know what’s good for yourself. You always did.”
“… Arigatou, Mama,” Risa mumbled, trying to hold back her tears.
She immediately hugged her mother again, savoring her mother’s touch as long as she could. She couldn’t remember the last time they had hugged like this. Life had kept them so busy all these years, they had forgotten the few enjoyments in life. Survival was first and foremost for them after the loss of their husband and father. It hadn’t occurred to them that part of surviving also meant being with each other, as family.
“That’s my girl,” Mama Gaki chuckled, patting her daughter’s back. “Now, don’t you have someone you need to be with?”
“… I do?” Risa asked, confused.
“Yes, and I won’t stop you from going,” the mother said quietly. “If you wish, then go be with her. She’s a good person, Risa; I trust her as I do you.”
Risa’s blinked a couple times before smiling gratefully. These little moments were the things that reminded her as to why her mother was her mother and why she was the daughter.
“ Arigatou, Mama!” Risa quickly pecked Mama Gaki on the cheek. “I love you!”
With that, the bean quickly dashed out of the house, shutting the door behind her. The mother could hear her daughter’s footsteps echoing as she ran downstairs. She was probably too excited to wait for the elevator to come.
Sighing, the mother sat back down on the sofa to rest her tired body. She looked at the small lamp table beside herself and spotted the picture frame standing on it. She picked it up and stared at the familiar scene captured in the photograph: a kind-looking man and a smiling woman beside him, together with a tiny girl that had the same smile as the woman, showing a peace sign. The mother stroked the face of the man gently with her fingers and smiled.
“Our daughter has really grown up, nee?” she said, chuckling to herself. “I wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t come back tonight.”
The mother stared at the picture for a while, imagining what sort of response the photographed person would give her. She sighed again.
“I never had what it took to be a mother,” she whispered. “But… did I do well this time… Anata?”
** ** **
Risa bent over as she breathed hard. Her uniform felt sticky from sweating while running but she didn’t care. She was finally here, to the place that she wanted to be at, and she was planning on staying.
Straightening her back, the bean pressed the doorbell. She almost had to grab her own shaking hand from reaching out and continually abusing the doorbell as she was waiting. After what seemed liked years, however, the door finally clicked open. There stood her lover, wearing a camisole with comfy sweatpants, her long brown hair traveling down her back.
“Risa!” Ai said, surprised by the sudden visit. “What are you doing here? It’s getting late—”
“I wanted to see you,” Risa huffed, still trying to catch her breath. “Can I… can I come in?”
“… Of course.”
The teacher revealed a small smile as she stepped aside to let her girlfriend in. She wasn’t sure whether it was such a good idea for Risa to be at her apartment like this after what happened that day, yet she couldn’t completely hide her joy at seeing the young girl.
Risa mumbled a phrase of excusing herself as she stepped into her teacher’s home. She twisted her neck this way and that as she pulled on her collar uncomfortably, allowing her skin to breathe a bit more. Ai passed her as she headed towards the kitchen.
“Do you want something to drink?” she asked. “It looks like you ran all the way here… you look thirsty.”
“No, I’m fine,” Risa said quickly. The truth was that her throat indeed was feeling a bit scratchy but water wasn’t what she wanted the most right now.
“You know, I didn’t get a chance to thank Kamei-san properly today,” Ai said, coming out of the kitchen to face her lover. “It was very brave of her to do that for you.”
“For us,” Risa corrected, smiling. “I thanked her plenty for what she did; don’t worry.”
Ai smiled as she gently stroked her girlfriend’s cheek. As she dropped her hand, Risa quickly grabbed it and held on.
“I… I wanted to tell you,” she started, “that… I wish you hadn’t done what you did in the principal’s office today.”
Ai sighed. “Risa, I had to—”
“I know, I understand why you did it,” the bean said quickly. “But think of how I must feel. How can I ever feel comfortable going to school now when I know it’s the result of your sacrifice? I mean… the price of letting me stay was for you to… leave. That’s not what I want.”
“Nor is it what I want,” Ai replied. “But you have to understand, Risa: I chose this for myself. Nakazawa-sensei was actually willing to let me stay, despite what will happen to the school’s reputation. But I told her to send me away. If I stay, it wouldn’t be easy for either one of us.”
“And it’s easy to stay apart from each other?” Risa asked, her voice cracking. Despite her wish against it, she could feel the waterworks coming on already. “How long are we not going to be able to see each other? We’re not talking about just days, we’re talking years!”
“I know that,” Ai said softly. She gently took her girlfriend into her arms, knowing that if Risa started crying, she wouldn’t want to show such a face to her. “But you have to promise me, Risa. Promise me that you won’t give up, no matter what. Graduate high school and graduate college. I want you to follow your dreams and do what you want to do. Don’t be like me…”
Then, Risa burst into tears as she started to vocally cry out, sobbing into Ai’s shoulder. Farewell was so near; she could feel it. She felt as though a large hole was being punched out of her heart, a piece of her life being chopped away. But she knew that Ai wasn’t crying right now. She was too busy trying to stay strong for the bean, so she would quickly gain the strength to move on. Risa knew that.
“I… I p-promise,” she croaked, tightening her embrace with the older woman. “I… I won’t be weak… I’m going to quickly become an adult… and I’ll meet you again… I promise.”
“And that’s girl I fell in love with,” Ai grinned, leaning back to look at her over’s face. “When I see you years later, I expect you to be the person you wanted to be.”
“I… I won’t forget you,” Risa blubbered on. “I… I’ll miss you… but I won’t let you go…”
“Hey, don’t say that now!” the teacher laughed. “I’m not leaving until the end of the school year, you know.”
“I guess you’re right,” Risa laughed along, wiping her tears with her sleeve. “It’s not goodbye yet…”
“It’ll never be goodbye,” Ai assured. “No matter where we are or what we’re doing, it’ll never be goodbye for real.”
Smiling, Risa nodded in agreement. Ai smiled as well and she leaned it to kiss the girl she loved, sweetly on the lips. Risa kissed back slowly, matching her pace to her lover’s, as she wrapped her arms around her neck. The sinful act was what originally threw them into this mess yet they knew neither one of them would be able to stop. The kiss was too powerful, the desire too great, for anybody to break them apart. As their passion grew more and more, they lost all senses connecting them to reality. And before they realized, the two lovers were making out heavily in bed, wanting nothing more than each other. As they continued to commit their loving act, a simple hopeful phrase echoed in their minds, as though it was supporting them to hang on and don’t give up.
It’ll never be goodbye.

Who doesn't love Mama Gaki? :lol:
And the end draws NEARER~~ *dramatic music* :on cigar:
ALSO: If you haven't noticed, the poll has changed! :D
These are couple of the many ideas I have floating in my head. I just wanted to see which sounds the most intriguing to you guys :D
These are only KEY WORDS, not the title~ I tried to pinpoint what each fic is about in a couple words 8)
The couples are all set for each story already too. But I'm purposely not telling you guys which couple is featured in which fic cuz then, there's bias XD
Again, the poll is JUST FOR FUN. It doesn't determine for sure what I'm writing next. Because what if I have a splendid idea for a story after this fic is over? And it wasn't in the poll? That'd be a shame.. :bleed eyes: XD
So~ have fun!!!
:byebye: :sleep:
-
yes that long lol its like 70 ft you know! well the one in tangled isXD
GAKIMAMA SAIKOU~!!! ;3; gakibonding time is ubber cute and so it takagaki cry/huggle/promise fest ;3; gah so much love and hugs and sweetness and tears! XD
and wa~~ idk what type to choose~ they all sound good! XDD
-
I love how Gakimama's so understanding without letting on that she knew all along about the relationship. XD
...
Can we get another perv...? :wriggly: *hopeful*
-
What is this troll chapter?! ; A ;!!!! But it was amazing. Mama Gaki is forever awesome. ; A ; Smut please? ;DDD and some awesome confrontation that Mama Gaki was fine with them being together and Ai-chan's confession that "She has always known." LOLOLOL. I can't wait to see the Reaction Queen that is Gaki-san once she discovers her mother has known all along. LOLOLOL. xD
I can't wait for your next update! Update soon! ; A ;!
-
Awww...... Takagaki love.... :wub: I wanna see what happens to Tanakame. >< Oh, can I make a request?? Do you think it's possible that you write a one shot about takagaki after they meet again years later if you're not including it in the last chapter?? :wriggly: Onegai.... But still, thanks for updating and update soon!!!!
-
Aww~ this last chapter almost made me cry! Poor gaki and Ai~~ they will meet again for sure!!!
The new poll is really interesting. I am very curious about "social class" but i ended up picking juliet and cinderella.... Hopefully after the poll is done you can give a brief synopsis of the story or tell us who the pairings are for each of these??? Please!!!! :wub:
Thanks for another awesome chapter!
-
Of course I want a sequel... just like Kokoro <3 with just a few chapters here and there ~
Mama gaki RULZ! o_O....
I wonder about TanaKamei ._. so at the end... they are gonna be alone... with their partners far away T_T?
-
OH MY GAWD! WOW! I am using my computer to check out the fanfic because I wanted to see the trailers (if they even stille existed) because for whatever reason they don't show up on my iphone.. and WOW! I haven't even finished watching the first trailer for this fic, but I just wanted to tell you, what amazing work! I LOVE THE TRAILER! And the subs are real right? (I don't know Japanese, but some of the words they use seem to match the subs.. at least the words I am familiar with). And is that Baek Ji Young? Tell me the song, I want to hear the whole thing~~~~ WOW, cool! Thanks again for sharing your work. Your attention to detail in your stories and the trailer is amazing. It gives real depth and reality to the story.. You have turned me into a huge Eri fan as well.. before I never cared much for her, but now I am all crazy.. (i just purchased all her PBs and I am eagerly waiting for those ^^;;) THANK YOU!
-
This is so cute XD
This isn't the last one, right? :nervous
Or is it? :(
LOL,
-
and now i want PERV
-
Thank you for your amazing work, SarangAi. TakaGaki is so cool and I want more but I need TanaKame first T^T. Would you please give me some moments of TanaKame? I miss the kitten.
-
Ahh what an emotional chapter Gaki's mom does her bit for her daughter, hmm almost as though a part of her knew that Gaki was suspended and that she would be there for her daughter....
But the promise though, they have to be apart, I hope that Risa will se her promise through and study properly, having Ai as the pot of gold at the end of that rainbow will keep her going though I feel.......
-
Oh gawd my emotions. :cry:
Thanks for all those chappies, SarangAi I was so happy you updated so much when I came to check this awesome fanfic again.
If there happens to be a chapter of TakaGaki's reunion with Risa being all grown up to finally meet Ai again, I'm seriously gonna tear up at that T_______T
Can't wait for the next update, as always!
-
Heheeeee :w00t: Mama Gaki is such a nice woman, I just wish that she looks as beautiful out side too. :grin:
Could you possibly write about the time when Takagaki is separated too please? :mon pray2: I know I know "it'll never be goodbye", but I just want to say hello to say a few more chapters of this fic :nervous
(how can this even be?! I'm in a kind of too similar situation irl as this story these past two days. :shocked :huhuh)
:note:
-
@kawaii beam: omg tangled~~ :lol: saw that, and i actually kinda liked it! :D
@rndmnwierd: lol Supermom is supermom... :lol: hey that's YOUR area of expertise! XD
@arisa03: hm i don't know, will she find out? XD
@risa_ai: oh geez, i'm so bad at oneshots... you can probably tell I'm REALLY bad at keeping a story short... :nervous but i'll brainstorm!
@Tian_Yuan: oh yeah, definitely! maybe I'll do some synopsis stuff and then redo the poll? I wonder how it'll change.. XD
@Haruka: oh like little epilogues? XD maybe! I'll think on it!
@nora_nora: nope~~ XD
@Tian_Yuan (again): lol thank you so much! I'm glad ppl appreciate them, cuz i work so hard on them... and yeah, the subs are real XD lol heck, i turned myself into an Eri fan while writing these fics! :lol:
@xyuki56: secret~~ :D
@aya-chii: oh dear.. :nervous
@yukirei: oh yeah, of course! TanaKame is next (naturally). XD
@oddball: lol if I see Aichan at the end of a rainbow... heck i'd do anything XD
@kimino-me: lol maybe i should write that... i do love tearing ppl up :twisted: XD
@Fushigidane: THE END IS NEAR~ :lol: maybe i do need to work on an epilogue...
Thank you so much for all the comments, guys!!! :twothumbs
I can tell some of you guys wanted a perv, but the fact is... I can't think of anything good to write :nervous
Like, I'd rather not force a bad perv out instead of writing one when I feel like it, you know? :nervous
And because this is a TanaKame main, I feel obligated to write another TanaKame perv if I do another TAkaGaki perv... and I don't have the brain energy for that either :bleed eyes: so i'm sorry, no perv! use your imagination! :sweatdrop:
Second note, I'm seeing a lot of request for tiny epilogues...
I don't know if i'll write them but I'll think on it, definitely! Just like, little omakes, "what happens next" chapters maybe... :D
okay, onwards!
This chapter is kinda short, but I got all i wanted to mention in there so... yeah :lol:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 89
Eri looked around the living room while sitting on the sofa, examining her surroundings. It had been a while since she last visited her girlfriend’s home, yet not much has changed. That is, not much that most people would notice. However, the turtle remembered exactly how the kitten’s home looked when she was first invited over, and she saw a clear change from then to now.
For one, there was color. Just a couple months ago, the living room walls had been completely white and all the furniture had been of dull colors that contributed to the overall blandness. But now, there were a couple bright picture frames hanging from the wall, consisting of a childhood photo of Reina herself, her family, and even with Junjun and her gang. The turtle smiled as she observed Reina in the photograph, grinning as Aika hugged her from the back, with Junjun ruffling her hair, and with Linlin’s face a lot bigger than the other girls’; Eri assumed that she was the one holding the camera and was attempting to self-cam. To have such pictures hanging on her wall… Reina really had changed.
As she looked away, something on the small table beside the sofa caught Eri’s attention. It was another picture frame, and encased was a familiar purikura sheet. The turtle could help but laugh as she observed the various tiny pictures, perfectly intact and framed.
“What are you laughing at?”
Reina came in with a confused expression, holding two mugs of tea in her hand. Eri looked up at her and pointed at the picture frame.
“You put our purikura in a picture frame?” the turtle giggled. “You know that they’re stickers, right?”
Reina blushed red as she frowned a little from the embarrassment. “I know that! But stickers eventually peel off so… I didn’t want to use them.”
Eri smiled as she secretly appreciated Reina’s action. The kitten sat down beside her on the couch and put the mugs down on the coffee table. She took a sip from her own cup as she silently gestured for her girlfriend to help herself. Eri also drank a little before she placed the mug down on her lap. She noticed that Reina was still wearing her school uniform; she probably didn’t get to change into casual clothes since Eri had barged in after school ended.
“You can go up and change if you want,” the turtle said. “I’ll wait.”
“No, it’s fine,” Reina answered, shaking her head. “We can talk… just like this.”
At that moment, Eri remembered why she was in her girlfriend’s home in the first place and the atmosphere immediately dropped. She remembered Reina’s previous declaration of leaving Tokyo again and as much as she hated the flashback, she knew she had to face the facts now. Reina seemed to notice the conflicting emotions the turtle was experiencing as she smiled sadly.
“You’re probably very angry with me right now,” she murmured. “Angry and… confused.”
“Confused, yes,” Eri admitted. “But not angry; I could never be angry at you. Just… sad, I suppose. And lonely…”
Before she could reveal more emotions, Eri quickly sipped her tea again, feeling the warm drink calming her down. Reina watched her with a constant gaze, as though she was trying to figure out the best way to approach this situation.
“… I want you to know it wasn’t easy for me either,” she said quietly. “It’s not something I decided on a whim. I put a lot of thought into this.”
Apparently, not enough, the turtle thought to herself, since you completely forgot about what would happen to us… As much as she wished to vocalize her complaint, Eri held her tongue, knowing very well it was her turn to listen this time.
“I know you did,” she mumbled instead. “But still… why?”
“… Papa is really sick,” Reina said slowly. “He’s getting treatment right now, but he’s at that point where he needs absolute care and comfort. He’s being relocated to a Fukuoka hospital in a couple days… and I feel like I should be there for him.”
“That doesn’t mean you have to move…” Eri mumbled, trying to figure out a way out of this whole mess. “You can just temporarily stay there and then come back up to Tokyo…”
“No, I have to go back,” Reina said firmly. “Fukuoka is my hometown; it’s where I belong. It’s time I go back.”
“But… you said so before, too!” Eri argued, fisting her hands as if to keep her emotions in check. “You said you had a life here now, in Tokyo! Are you really prepared to leave all of that behind?”
Reina smiled a little again and slowly shook her head. “No… I’m not. Like you said, I have a life here. I’ve already made my mark.”
“So why—”
“I have so many people here in Tokyo who love me,” Reina continued. “Junjun and Aika and Linlin all care about me… and the rest of the girls respect me too… School life is actually kind of fun for once… and I have you. I have so many things that I should be grateful for.”
The kitten paused momentarily, chewing on her bottom lip as though in deep thought. Eri contemplated as to whether she should interrupt again but decided to stay silent. Soon, Reina opened her mouth again.
“But… Papa has no one. After Mama passed away and I came up to Tokyo… Papa has always been alone. I’m supposed to be his only daughter, the only blood relative he has left, yet we stayed so far away from each other. But now, we both know the value of having a family. So I decided that it’s time for me to go back to Fukuoka, to remake my family with Papa. That’s why I have to go back.”
“But…” Eri was shocked to hear her own voice which had gone hoarse. She realized that she was on the verge of tears as she quickly rubbed her eyes to hide that fact. “But… I’m your family too… I thought… “
“Of course you are,” Reina laughed softly, taking her girlfriend’s hand. “But we’re still so young, Eri. We’re only 17; there’s plenty of time for us. But for me and Papa… we’ve already lost so much time. And I don’t want to lose any more of it.”
At this, Eri burst into tears and started to sob loudly. She had realized how serious and determined Reina was about her decision; there was no changing her mind. And she was being so mature as well, taking their age into account… But the reality was that she was right. They were still much too young to lead their own free independent lives, released from their roots. There was still so much that they did not yet know about the world. Eri knew this, and the fact that Reina was right caused her pain.
Smiling sadly again, Reina pulled on her sleeves to use them for wiping Eri’s tear-streaked face. She leaned forward and kissed her crying lover gently on her forehead, followed by her lips.
“You’ve taught me so many things, Eri,” she whispered. “You’ve shown me love and happiness that I didn’t know the world had. When I first met you, it was the start of a new life for me. In front of you, I could be whoever I wanted. You gave me a second chance in life, Eri. That’s what you showed me… And now I want to give that same chance to Papa. He deserves a second chance at making a family, too. And just like you’ve shown me, I’m going to show him that he can have a fresh start again.”
Eri gazed at her girlfriend’s face as her vision started to get blurred by her tears. However, she could still see the unmistakable determination and strength in Reina’s eyes. Eri knew Reina didn’t want to leave her. But it was a choice that Reina had to make in order to make what was wrong right again, in order to give herself and her father the companionship that they should’ve had but didn’t. And to this girl, who believed her mother’s death was a waste and completely a fault of hers, going back to live with her father was probably what her mother would’ve wanted as well.
“… I understand,” Eri said quietly, hiccupping. “I’m not going to lie; I don’t want to understand. But I do. I know that you had to make the best choice for your father. I can respect that.”
“Arigatou,” Reina said, smiling warmly. “Thanks for listening.”
“Well, I did promise,” Eri sighed, wiping away her tears quickly. “Better late than never, right?”
“Right,” the kitten laughed. “Like I said though, I knew you’d be back.”
Eri nodded in agreement as she leaned in to hug her lover. They held each other for a while, wordlessly, savoring the silent warmth, before parting. Eri exhaled deeply again.
“So… when are you leaving?”
“Papa’s going back in a couple days,” Reina answered. “I’m going to take my time packing my stuff and then follow behind. I have maybe… a week left… give or take a couple days…”
“So soon…” Eri breathed, swallowing to calm herself.
Seven days was all she had left with the kitten before she would have to go months, maybe years, without seeing her. Seven. How many hours was that? Minutes? Seconds? However much it was, it was too little. How could she make every moment count?
“You know, this makes me wonder,” Eri started, “if things would’ve been different had we met as an adult. We would’ve had a lot more freedom, don’t you think?”
“Probably,” Reina grinned. “But I’m glad I met you while I’m still young. That way, I get to have you in my life a little longer.”
“That’s a nice way to put it,” Eri chuckled. “Having you in my life a little longer… Since we’re still not old yet, I think I’ll be able to let you go back to Fukuoka for the time being. We have time, like you said…”
“We’re only 17,” Reina grinned. “This is only the beginning.”
“Yeah,” Eri sighed. “Youth sucks. But it’s amazing in its own way, I guess.”
Laughing, Reina leaned her head forward and kissed her girlfriend sweetly on her lips again. Without missing a beat, Eri returned the favor and kissed her back passionately. They no longer needed to say anything; the message was being transferred to both of them clearly.
Have faith in me.
When Reina eagerly kissed her back, Eri pushed her weight against the kitten even more until she fell back on the sofa. They continued to kiss lovingly, yet with a certain hesitation and fear that every kiss they had left may be the last. Time was to pass by quickly before the end, or a new beginning as the two lovers would like to think.
And it did, as the week flew by in an instant. Before they knew it, Reina’s school records were all transferred to a private school in Fukuoka, her things were packed in a box, and memories were sealed away in their hearts. Every day, Eri had woken up on her bed, wondering how many days she had left with her lover. But one day, when she woke up, she didn’t need to think. She could feel in her heart that today was the day that she would have to part with her love. The day the two young lovers had so loathed and feared had come ruthlessly.
"If there are Hellos, there are Goodbyes…"

So far, Juliet and Cinderella is winning with Celebrity Training School right behind... but the discrepancies aren't that huge so i'd say they're all neck and neck :D
omen: the end is near... again XD
:byebye: :sleep:
-
gah kame-chan ;3; dun cry~ i'd totally be crying too though if i were in her shoes. it sucks when u understand the situation but dont want it to happen ;3;
this chappy might be short but you got through what you wanted to ofcouse its epic :twothumbs
i know it'll probably osund anoying to you but i wonder how risa went through week 1 of suspention while eri got to go to school and stuff? XD i can totally imagine eri actually having to concentrate so she could help risa catch up if needed be along with her spending as much free time with reina ^^;
GAH END IS NOT NEAR!!! DONT SAY IT IS!!!!;3; DUN MAKE ME CRY! XD lol
-
Gyah the day is here :panic:
Poor Eri and Reina, there is no true winner in this situation. Though I don't blame Reina for the choice her made.
Will she be back before the end of the story (for a visit maybe?) Or is this the last chapter for tanakame. If so, an epilouge would be great
-
Nuuu ; A ; They must part too. ;___; but I guess only this would prove that true love does exist once they have been reunited. <3 I can feel the end nearing! ; A ;!?!? Update soon~
... Gaki-san should find out. Just for reaction Queen purposes. 8D.
-
:mon bleed2: THAT WAS....... :heart: :tantrum: :imdead:
GOOD JOB!!!!! :cathappy: Poor Tanakame... :ptam-cry: Will they ever see each other again?? THE ENDING IS NEAR!!!!! I WANT A HAPPY ENDING!!!! :on voodoo: :mon waterworks: Please update soon.... And end with happy ending.... I want the takagaki love... :mon look: where is it???? :mon mad: :mon pray2: :mon pray2: :mon pray2: But still.... Once again..... GOOD JOB!!!! :mon bye:
-
:fainted: I Think i was sobbing just as hard as Eri.. or more..
Tanakame, break up... is something i cant handle well, but i do understand Reina's intentions so... i guess... its alright.. :gyaaah:
But, It just so... SAD and HEART Wincing. :mon hanky:
I'll just have to suck it up... If Eri can do it i can too..
I cant spend to much time on the topic cus i'll probably cry again lol!
I guess its time for me to head to school... :on cloudeye: :on speedy:
Lol, i meant to say this earlier agreeing with someone who had said it first but a sequel to this story would be divine :twisted:
-
Ahh Reina!!! what a time to become all sensible and logical! :cry: But I do understand what she means though, in the end family is family and her father needs her the most right now and maybe, Reina needs him right now too.....
And Eri, ready to argue Reina out of leaving but becoming so unserstanding to what Reina is wanting to achive :gyaaah:
They both go on about how they are young and so have time, I hope they don't forget this... but despite them talking about youth, it's their maturity that shines through here!
Genral :on speedy: though!
-
Awww, so Reina really is leaving... That sucks! Poor Eri! She should not be all alone and heartbroken. Thanks again for all your work! I am really enjoying the journey!
-
...with each next chapter of all the sadder... for me :farofflook:
and yeah... the end is near... too near
I don't want *run away screaming*
-
Is this gonna be sad endings all around :cry:
-
@kawaii beam: LOL i would assume that Risa will only let Eri help her catch up in school if she wants to fail XD
@xxkaori-kittyxx: oooh another request for an epilogue? :lol:
@arisa03: lol maybe. in the future. sometime. :P
@risa_ai: LOL laughed so hard at this. but there are varying degrees of happy endings... right? XD
@Sora-chan: lol not a WHOLE sequel but maybe a little omake/epilogue thingie? :D
@nora_nora: aww don't cry! look on the bright side! there's gotta be one.. :lol:
@oddball: oh that's an awesome point! Youthful, but this proves that they're mature... it's part of growing up, huh? :D
@Tian_Yuan: She won't be all heartbroken! :D
@nighell: with the end comes a new beginning.... *sounds smart* XD XD
@astro18: depends on what you consider sad.. XD
thank you so much for all the comments!
Unfortunately, this isn't an update :nervous
But I'm almost done with the next chapter! I could've finished it but.... too sleepy :nervous :nervous
And since the last chapter was kind short, this next one is SUPER long. longest one i've written, i think :twothumbs
well, i did cheat a bit but... you'll find out what i mean by this
anyways, i'll probably update tomorrow, definitely!
As for the poll, it seems like Juliet and Cinderella is in a constant lead with Celebrity Training School also in a constant 2nd! XD
I plan to announce which storyline i'm gonna do after Chigatte mo is over. Already brainstorming~ :D
Oh, and for Chigatte mo, a lot of people seem to want some sort of epilogue, so I'm brainstorming/planning a couple extra chapters, after the official last chapter. I think they'll also be something to look forward to :D
:cow:
-
YATTA! AN UPDATE TMR! I'LL WAIT FOR IT 24HRS TILL I C IT! *shakes fist

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 90
Eri placed another bag of chips inside her shopping basket and moved onto the next shelf. Her basket was already filled with enough snacks, ranging from candies to chocolates to cookies, yet she could never be too sure. Her girlfriend was quite tiny but a long trip in the car, all the way back down to Fukuoka, may starve her quite a bit.
The turtle was currently in a convenience store, gathering various sustenance for Reina. A week and a half had passed by in the blink of an eye; Tanaka-Shachou had been relocated to a hospital in Fukuoka about a week ago with his aid, Kaneda, right beside him. Alas, today was the day Kaneda was coming back with a limousine and a truck to pick up Reina an all of her belongings.
Although the two lovers had originally been determined to do lots of fun activities together with the time they had had left, reality became that they didn’t do much at all. They met up every day, yet most of the time they just sat in Reina’s living room with the television turned to a channel that neither of them were paying attention to, snuggled close together. They didn’t say much or do much; just being together was enough. The presence of each other was what was to be missed. The emptiness of the spot beside each other was what was to be loathed.
After adding a couple more boxes of pocky to her shopping basket, the turtle deemed her shopping basket full enough and moved towards the cash register. She lined up behind a small girl with dyed brown hair who turned around to silently acknowledge the fact that there was a costumer waiting behind her. Eri nodded silently as well as a déjà vu experience overtook her mind.
^^^ ^^^
In front of her was one of the cutest girls she had ever seen. The girl had straight, light brown hair, almost orange, that traveled down to her chest. Her eyes were honey brown that glistened in the light. She was wearing a pink dress and black stockings that went above her knees. She looked intimidating in a way, because of her cat-like eyes, but her petit figure begged to differ. She smiled as she narrowed her eyes a little.
“You’re supposed to say sorry, pretty boy,” she said.
“Huh… Oh! Sorry! I, um… it’s, ah… it’s my fault,” Eri stammered.
“Apology accepted,” the girl chuckled as she turned back to the cash register.
Eri’s eyes stayed wide open as she breathed in and out to calm herself. She stared at the back of the girl’s head, trying to imagine the beautiful face she had just seen. And her cute voice that called her…
Wait. Did she just call her “pretty boy”?
^^^ ^^^
Eri smiled at the memory, remembering her pounding heart at having met the love of her life. Who would’ve known that such a menial encounter would be so fateful in the end?
“Next costumer please!”
The turtle stepped forward as she quickly started to place all her food items on the counter. The cashier rapidly checked out each one of them and calculated the total cost.
“That’ll be 2200 yen, please,” he said.
Eri went into her wallet and counted out the amount of money she needed and paid the cashier. The employee carefully counted the money and sighed, annoyed.
“This is 2000 yen, Ogyaku-san,” he said. “You’re short 200 yen.”
^^^ ^^^
“You’re short 200 yen,” she informed.
“Really?” Eri gasped. “Um… Just… just wait a moment…”
She started to dig through her wallet again and checked all her coins. Why didn’t she think of refilling her wallet before she left home? After all, her worrisome parents had left quite a number of yen behind for her.
As Eri continued to bit her lips in frustration, the cat-like girl from before stared at her intently. Her lips curved into a small smile, entertained by how unorganized and air-headed this person was. She opened her own wallet and took out the amount of money the turtle was missing. She handed it to the store clerk.
“Here,” she smiled, “this should make up for his shortage.”
“No, it’s fine!” Eri quickly said, shaking her head. “I can just not buy something; you don’t need to pay for me!”
“It’s fine,” she reassured. “It’s just 200 yen.”
^^^ ^^^
“200 yen…”
Eri mumbled to herself as she dug out the missing amount of money. She softly chuckled to herself; 200 yen had been the string that tied them together. Just 200 yen. Except this time, the turtle had brought enough money to finish paying for her things.
“Arigatou gozaimasu,” the cashier thanked, receiving the 200 yen. He quickly typed into the cash register and printed out a receipt. “Please come again.”
Nodding, Eri grabbed a hold of the plastic bags filled with various snacks from the counter and walked out of the store. She quickly checked the time on her cell phone: she still had some time left. She could probably still get to Reina’s house early by walking instead of catching a cab. Relaxing, the turtle started to walk down the street, humming an incoherent tune to herself. She soon approached the slightly more bustling shopping district where a series of stores were lined up. She passed by her bean friend’s favorite shop: the book store. There was a large poster, announcing the release of the final book in a series that Risa was so obsessed with. Perhaps Eri would reserve her a copy now.
Deciding to do this small act of kindness, Eri walked into the book store.
^^^ ^^^
The welcoming voice of the store clerk rang out along with the chime of the bells hanging over the door. She started to walk down the rows of shelves, looking for the right column to go down in.
She finally found the right shelf and started to walk down the row while searching through the chain of books. When she didn’t see the right title the first time, Eri looked up to the upper shelves and walked down the row again. She stopped at one point and let out a sharp breath of air as her shoulders slumped.
It has to be all the way up there? She thought, biting her lips in frustration. Risa-chan will be doing my homework for a year!
With a sigh, Eri started to reach up towards the wanted book while standing on her tippy toes. Still unable to quite reach, she tried to stretch her muscles a little more. Her fingers managed to get a grip on the spine; but as she tried to pull it out, a couple other books on the side slid out with it. Eri reached her left hand up as well to push the unwanted books back into the shelf while grabbing the novel she needed with her right hand.
I got it! The turtle thought to herself, smiling. Now to just pull it out…
At that moment, the book that was right in front of Eri’s face got pulled out from the other side by someone. It was a girl with straight, light brown hair with a headband. She had a cute face and cat-like eyes that scrutinized the turtle’s surprised expression. Eri gasped. The girl on the other side of the shelf blinked a couple times before opening her mouth a little.
“Ara.”
“You!” Eri yelled, recognizing the petit girl that she had met before at the convenience store. “It’s really you— WOAH!”
Her feet started to falter from shock as Eri lost control over her motions. She tripped backwards as her right hand pulled out the book that she wanted along with a couple other heavy books in the same row. Eri let out a yell as she fell on her bottom while the chain of books fell on her head. She started to rub the back of her head that was in pain while looking down at the floor. A final book fell down from the top shelf and opened up on her head like a hat.
Before the turtle could reach up to remove the book, someone else took the weight away first. Eri looked up to see the petit girl wearing a brown school uniform, crouching in front of her while holding the book that had attacked her head.
“Still clumsy, huh, pretty boy?” she grinned.
“It’s you!” Eri yelled.
^^^ ^^^
“It’s you!”
Eri turned towards the voice that had called out to her to see her best friend, standing by the front register.
“Eh?! Risa-chan!” she yelled out. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m reserving a copy of my favorite book,” Risa answered, matter-of-factly. “The question is, what are you doing here? I thought you hated even stepping into book store.”
“I was… gonna reserve a copy for you…” the turtle mumbled.
“… Wow,” the bean breathed. “That’s actually quite thoughtful of you. Didn’t expect that at all.”
“Hey, I’m not always an aho, you know!” Eri pouted. “Besides, shouldn’t you be in school right now?”
Risa frowned. “I’m suspended, remember?” she spat out.
“But… it’s been one week…”
“I told you, it was extended to two weeks,” the bean groaned. “The PTA wasn’t satisfied with my punishment. Gosh, you never listen, Kameha!”
Eri laughed nervously, scratching her head. After rolling her eyes, Risa also started to grin at her airhead friend.
“So… what about Sensei?” Eri asked.
“She’s in school, teaching,” the bean sighed. “She wanted to cut but I said that wouldn’t look good at all. She’s coming over later today, though. We’re all having dinner together: me, Ai-chan, and Mama.”
Eri nodded as she smiled. She was informed of the way her friend’s mother had so freely accepted her daughter’s relationship to her teacher and was happy for the bean. And to hear her friend calling Sensei by her first name so easily… there was a sense of peace and calmness that Risa didn’t have before as the uptight Iinchou. She was looking even more mature these days, as though she was truly becoming an adult instead of a child attempting to be a grown-up. Something was more natural about her.
“Hey, what about you?” Risa asked. “Shouldn’t you be in school right about now?”
“Oh… I, um… I cut.”
“Why?”
“Because… Reina is leaving today.” Eri bit down on her bottom lip.
“… Oh, that’s right,” Risa sighed. “Today’s the day, huh?”
A moment of silence ensued as though they were commemorating a loss. Eri fidgeted uncomfortably; she didn’t like the fact that the atmosphere had become as though Reina was disappearing for good. Risa seemed to notice as she quickly spoke up.
“You know, I kind of respect Tanakacchi for making such a decision,” she said. “I don’t know if I’d ever be able to leave Ai-chan for such a reason… And I know Ai-chan wouldn’t be able to leave me of her own choice. It may be difficult to fully understand but… you have to give her credit for that courage.”
“I know,” Eri sighed, smiling. “That’s why I’m going to send her off on a happy note. We’re not letting go… It’s just a small interlude in our lives.”
“That’s a nice way to think of it,” the bean laughed. “Maybe Ai-chan and I should think that way, too.”
“Nee, I better get going,” Eri said. “If I’m late just a little bit, Reina will throw a fit.”
“Alright, off you go,” Risa grinned. “Give Tanakacchi my regards and tell her to take care.”
Nodding, the turtle left the book store and continued on her way. She found that she actually still wasn’t that pressed for time. Normally, it would be a chore to walk through the crowded shopping district. However, as it was a school day, the streets were not as occupied as on weekends.
Then, a brightly decorated shop caught the turtle’s eyes and stopped her in her steps. It was a small café; through the glass, Eri could see that the shop was decorated cutely with pastel colored ribbons and ornaments. Further in the store, she could see a tiny stage with a microphone.
^^^ ^^^
… Eri leaned in closer until she placed a gentle kiss, right at the corner of Reina’s lips. The audience let out a groan of dissatisfaction, as they had been looking forward to an actual lip-lock. The turtle backed away as the kitty opened her eyes again, looking surprised.
“I’m sorry, the rules are that you have to kiss her on the lips…” Momoko said into her microphone.
“Give me that,” Eri ordered, snatching the mic from Miyabi’s hand. “I’m sorry for breaking the rule, everyone. But the truth is, we haven’t been going out for very long.” Yeah, zero days and zero minutes. “And I didn’t want to kiss my girlfriend in front of all these people when I wasn’t sure if we were even comfortable kissing at all. I won’t do anything that Reina will regret.”
^^^ ^^^
I should’ve just kissed her then, Eri thought to herself, sighing. But I guess I didn’t have to wait long for the actual kiss…
As she continued walking, the turtle slowly drifted away into another memory, one of her happiest ones. Her vision blurred as her body changed dimensions in her mind, shifting her to the kitten’s home.
^^^ ^^^
Slowly, Reina inched closer and closer to the “boy” until she was practically on “his” lap. She slowly reached up and placed her hands on Eri’s shoulders, and started to crane her neck up. She leaned in closer and closer until her lips were only an inch away from Eri’s before she stopped, still unsure of her actions. Unable to take the wait, Eri just leaned in herself to kiss the lips of the girl she loved. Reina quickly backed away, but only slightly.
“I’m sorry,” she apologized, thinking she had done wrong.
“No, don’t be,” Eri quickly whispered.
She leaned in again, this time while cupping Reina’s cheek. She wound her other arm around the small girl’s waist. Her lips worked slowly against the kitten’s mouth, who started to loosen up more from her stiffness. Reina wrapped her arms around Eri’s neck and pulled herself closer to her, eager to feel more intimacy. She slowly parted her lips to catch some air, but Eri took the advantage to snake her tongue in. The ex-yankii moaned softly as she felt her mouth being explored by the new flavor. But the intruder left through the lips all too soon, leaving Reina breathing hard.
“Well?” Eri asked, who was also struggling a little to catch some oxygen.
“It feels so wrong…” Reina answered, “yet so right.”
“Um, care to explain?” the turtle smiled nervously.
“It’s wrong because you’re too good to someone like me,” she chuckled. “But it’s right because I know how much I want to be with you… how I feel so much at home when I’m with you.”
“Then don’t think anymore,” Eri insisted. “You belong with me, and I belong with you. Isn’t it much easier that way?”
“That’s so like you to just make it simple as possible,” Reina laughed.
“So…” Eri hesitated, “does this mean we’re going out now?”
The kitten burst into giggles once more. She placed a quick peck on the turtle’s lips and smiled.
“Yeah,” she grinned, a hint of pink returning to her cheeks. “It does.”
^^^ ^^^
Eri smiled to herself again, blushing from the memory. She could’ve sworn the people in the streets stared at her as though she belonged in a mental hospital but she didn’t care. She knew she was in her right mind.
At least she is now. She wasn’t sure if she could’ve been deemed sane back when she and Reina was first getting to know each other. After all, she had pretended to be of the opposite gender in order to get the girl. Risa had warned her continuously but she had kept on running away from reality… until reality had caught up to her.
^^^ ^^^
Eri turned to look at her intruder and gasped, slowly processing the short girl by the door with her straight hair reaching her chest. Reina’s eyes widened as she scanned her lover. The turtle was wearing a pair of sweatpants but her t-shirt was still around her neck, revealing her bare upper body clad in a black bra. Her white skin, her slim waist, her two breasts… everything was visible.
“Re… Reina?” Eri croaked, her voice choking in her throat.
The kitten didn’t answer. She couldn’t take her eyes off of her “boyfriend’s” body that was so much like a girl’s… better than a normal girl’s, maybe even better than hers. Her mind processed everything slowly and painfully as she started to form words.
All Eri could do was watch her girlfriend’s facial expression wrinkle into something horrible. The voices in her head screamed at her to put on her t-shirt but she was frozen and could not move. She could feel the intruder’s stare prickling her like a thousand needles.
“Reina…?”
“Eri, you…” Reina breathed, trying to form coherent words, “you’re… a g-girl…?”
“Reina, I can explain—”
“You’ve been a girl all along and I never knew?!” Reina shrieked, finally breaking down. Her expression wasn’t that of anger nor sadness; it was pain and regret. “You… from the beginning… I thought… but you’re…”
“Reina, please, I—”
“Stop!” she screamed. Her hands clutched her head as she shut her eyes tightly. “This can’t be real… This isn’t… This can’t… be…”
Her eyes suddenly softened from burning anger to complete sadness. A single stream of tear was blinked out of her eye and traveled down her cheeks. Her mouth opened to say something but only gasps of breath came out. Watching Reina cry only made Eri feel as though her heart was being ripped out.
“You…” Reina whispered roughly, her voice cracking. “I trusted you. But you… lied to me.”
The word hit Eri’s chest like a sharp knife that was ran through fire beforehand. Reina bit on her lips to keep herself from crying more but it was no use. So instead, she glared up at the turtle again with hatred and fury.
“I never want to see you, ever again,” she said through her teeth.
With that, Reina dashed out of the apartment and ran down the stairs. Eri was frozen in her spot as she sank down to the ground. She couldn’t bear to chase after the girl she loved anymore. Only her last words echoed in Eri’s head.
^^^ ^^^
Only her last words echoed in Eri’s head. The turtle closed her eyes and breathed slowly, calming herself down from the unpleasant memory. Thinking back was still painful but she knew she deserved it. Her pain had been nothing compared to Reina’s. Yet, after all the terrible things she had done, Reina had still forgiven her. Despite the hatred she felt for Eri’s action, she still found the compassion to continue loving her.
^^^ ^^^
“I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!” she mumbled, over and over again. “I hate you so much, Kamei Eri!”
The turtle broke into her own quiet sobs as she covered her eyes. “Of course you do…” she whispered, laughing weakly. “You have every right to…”
“… But… more than hating you… I hate that I still love you…”
Eri slowly lifted her head as her eyes widened. She examined her ex-girlfriend’s face, soaked in tears. Reina was biting down on her bottom lip with her eyes shut, which didn’t stop the tears from overflowing.
“I feel like I should hate you so much,” Reina cried, “but I can’t help but love you! You made me feel the worst emotions a human could possibly feel but for some reason, I still wanted to see you… I hate loving you, Eri… I hate it!”
^^^ ^^^
So this was what fate was like. Destiny had played them like dolls, and still was. Eri and Reina couldn’t help but stay together despite all the horrible happenings. And because they were so young… they were even easier to manipulate. If there was a god, he must’ve been having fun.
But there had been joyful days as well. Every little moment they had spent together was pure bliss. Eri closed her eyes, remembering pieces of memories that passed through her mind. The café, the aquarium, the park… where else…?
^^^ ^^^
“This one, this one! I want to play this one next!”
Reina dashed over to another game machine and popped a 100 yen coin in. She immediately took a hold of the game controllers and started to blast away the aliens by furiously pressing the “gun shoot” button. Eri couldn’t help but laugh.
“You know, I still can’t believe the place you’ve always wanted to go to is the arcade,” the turtle giggled.
“What’s wrong with wanting to go to the arcade?” Reina asked, still focused on the game. “I’ve never been here before.”
“There’s nothing wrong with wanting to come here,” the turtle explained. “But you just always seem so ladylike and a real ‘ojou-san’. It’s not something I would’ve expected.”
“Well, I didn’t expect to ever see you wearing a skirt either,” the kitten smirked, eyes glued to the exploding aliens. “But that happened too, didn’t it?”
“Touché,” Eri grinned. And she was awfully glad that it happened. After the little “experiment” session she had with her girlfriend the day before, both of them had gotten a lot comfortable with the idea of seeing each other.
“Yes! I win again!” the ex-yankii exclaimed as the game screen displayed a “You Win!” fanfare. Chains of tickets started to stream out of the machine and the kitten collected all of them, folding them carefully. “This is so much fun. I can’t believe I haven’t been here before!”
^^^ ^^^
Aww, she was so cute back then, Eri thought, giggling. Well, she’s still cute…
Suddenly, the turtle came to a halt as she looked around. She didn’t quite remember when but she was out of the shopping district and was in a peaceful residential street at the moment. She looked around again, trying to figure out where she was. Then, she realized that she had walked too far while reminiscing and quickly walked back up the street until she arrived at the familiar white house.
She gently pushed the fence open, recalling back to the night when she and Reina had completely given themselves to each other.
^^^ ^^^
When she walked back into the bedroom, the first thing that she saw was her beautiful girlfriend, turning off the lights. In the dark shadows of the night, Eri could make out the petit girl gliding over to the curtains to close them against the moonlight, and then towards the small lamp by the bedside table. The dim light gave the kitten’s white, plain room a rather warm feeling, almost cozy.
Eri smiled as she walked over to her lover, who seemed to be shying away already. Her cheeks were dyed soft pink as the little droplets of water from her wet hair still patterned parts of her collar bone area. She gasped softly when Eri gently touched her hands, and took a hold of them.
“Don’t be scared,” Eri murmured. “I’m here.”
“I’m not scared,” Reina denied, shrugging with a small smile. “Just… nervous?”
“Me too,” the turtle chuckled. “But we’ll be fine. If we stay linked together like this… we’ll be safe.
Eri entangled her fingers around Reina’s and brought her lover’s hand up to her lips to give it a gentle kiss. The kitten smiled at this, and nodded. Taking that as an approval, Eri leaned in slowly to take Reina’s soft lips. The kiss was warm and loving, just like they wanted. But both lovers knew that this was only the start.
^^^ ^^^
“Eri?”
The turtle snapped out of her reminiscence at the sound of her name being called. She blinked until her eyes focused on a familiar figure of a petit girl by the open front door. She then smiled and gave a small wave. The petit girl grinned happily as she dashed over to the turtle and embraced her.
“You came!” she exclaimed. She then backed away quickly and narrowed her eyes. “Did you get what I asked for?”
“Ten different kinds of snacks for the long trip back home,” Eri grinned, holding up the plastic bag in her hand, “at your disposal.”
“You’re amazing,” Reina laughed, kissing her lover’s cheek. “Come in. We’re almost done packing.”
Pulling her by her hand, Reina led her girlfriend into her home and entered the hallway. The house was completely bare now: all the furniture was covered with brown paper and bubble wrap. There were large boxes everywhere, some taped shut and others still open. A group of girls were busily packing things inside the boxes while chatting amongst themselves. A black-haired girl came out of the kitchen, holding a couple water bottles, and spotted the turtle.
“Kamei-san!” she greeted, happily yet quietly. “O… oshisashiburi desu.”
“Shige-san, konnichiwa!” Eri greeted back. “It’s been a while.”
“Ara, Kame-chan is here? Took you long enough!”
A tall girl called out to the turtle from the living room, standing up from the large box she was sitting on. The rest of the girls also turned their head and yelled out greetings, acknowledging Eri’s arrival.
“Hi, Junjun,” Eri smiled. “You guys were helping Reina pack?”
“They offered,” the kitten shrugged. “I thought, why not? It beats having me do all of it myself.”
“Anything for Tanaka-senpai!” Aika exclaimed.
“And anything Aika wants to do, I want to do!” Linlin chimed in.
“It was the least we could do,” Captain smiled. “We all wanted to help in some way.”
“Besides, the job gets done faster with more people, right?” Maimi said.
“Ah, Shige-san!” Airi exclaimed. “You got the water! Could you toss me one?”
“Me, too!” Miyabi yelled. “I’m so thirsty.”
“Here you go,” Sayumi said, gently throwing the water bottles towards the two girls. “Anybody else?”
“Mai, are you thirsty?” Chisato asked her girlfriend.
“Not really,” the younger girl shrugged.
“Here, I’ll take one,” Junjun said, stepping into the hallway to personally take a bottle from her lover. “Thanks.”
“Are you guys almost done?” Reina asked. “You don’t have to force yourself too much; Kaneda and the other employees can probably finish before I leave…”
“It’s okay, we can do this much,” the panda grinned. “We’re yankiis; there’s not much we can do for you so we want to do everything we can. That’s how the girls feel, too. They all respect you a lot, you know.”
“Sometimes, I think your gang is too ridiculous,” the kitten sighed, smiling. “They’re not like delinquents at all.”
“Yeah, well, we’re more like a family at this point, aren’t we?”
Junjun put her arm around Sayumi as she glanced by at her group of girls. Eri also looked into the living room where all the girls were goofing around with the tape and the sheets of bubble wrap while still getting the work done. They were the ones who were always looked down upon by society, yet they had so much laughter and satisfaction in their lives because they had each other. Eri smiled, gaining a new sense of admiration for Junjun and her gang.
“Eri, come upstairs with me,” Reina said, taking the turtle’s hand. “I want to show you something.”
“Don’t take too long,” Junjun said. “The truck’s going to be here any minute.”
“We won’t be long,” Reina answered.
She led her girlfriend up the stairs, down the hallway, and into her room. Eri looked around her girlfriend’s bedroom; she didn’t remember it ever being so big. The furniture was wrapped up with brown paper, just like the ones in the living room. The bed was gone and nowhere to be found; only a large mattress was present in its place. However, the large life-size mirror in the corner of the room remained unwrapped as the light flashed off is surface. There were pages of newspaper, scattered on the floor in front of the mirror. On top of the pile was a pair of scissors.
Reina pulled her lover towards the mirror and stood on top of the newspaper. She eyed Eri’s hair which reached her chest and then looked up.
“Remember how I said I want you to grow your hair out?” she asked. “Because I want to see what you look like with really long hair?”
“Yeah,” Eri answered.
“Well, since we might not see each other for a while,” Reina said, “I expect your hair to be super long the next we meet each other.”
“It probably will be,” Eri laughed. “I promise I won’t cut it.”
“And for that promise,” the kitten said, “I should give you an oath in return as well.”
Reina reached down and quickly picked up the scissors that lay on the floor. As Eri’s eyes grew wide in realization of what the kitten was about to do, Reina swiftly chopped off a thick lock of her own hair and let drop to the floor. Eri blinked furiously, frozen in shock, unable to say or do anything about the unexpected action her girlfriend had committed. Ignoring the turtle’s reaction, Reina continued to snip away at her hair until the strands were all about the same length, reaching her chest. It wasn’t that short but it was significantly shorter than what it was. She examined herself in the mirror, and when she was satisfied, she put the scissors down.
“This is my promise to you,” Reina said, turning back to face her lover. “The next time we see each other, my hair will be back to its usual length. I won’t be any different from the way you remember me. I’ll always be the same old Tanaka Reina that you know and love. And the way I feel about you will not have changed either. I promise you, Kamei Eri, that I will always remain the same.”
“… In other words,” the turtle mumbled, “you’re saying I better grow out my hair if I want you to grow out yours?”
“… Pretty much, yeah,” Reina said nonchalantly. She slowly grinned as she watched Eri’s shock expression freeze in place. “Relax, Eri. I just thought it may be better this way. We’ll both grow our hair out together. Okay?”
“It’s such a shame though…” the turtle pouted. She let her fingers touch Reina’s short locks. “I really loved your long hair…”
“And if you ever want to see it long again,” the kitten threatened playfully, “you should never cut your own hair!”
“Yeah, yeah, roger that,” Eri laughed. “But I do appreciate your promise, though. I won’t change either.”
Reina smiled at this as she leaned in to kiss her lover. Eri kissed her back a bit more intensely, wrapping her arms around the kitten. Moaning softly, Reina also put her arms around her lover’s neck to embrace her and continued to kiss passionately. They were so close yet they felt as though they were already so far away. Fear and loneliness was eminent, yet they both knew that they would somehow make it through alright. Physically being away from each other didn’t mean farewell. As long as their hearts remained the same, they would be “together”.
Suddenly, someone cleared their throat loudly, causing the two lovers to jump back. Junjun stood by the door with a mischievous grin.
“So sorry to interrupt you two lovebirds,” she said, winking, “but the limo’s here.”
“Oh, right.” Reina quickly wiped her lips with her fingers, blushing a little. “Thanks, Jun.”
“Mm-hm…” Suddenly, the panda’s eyes grew wide in shock, realizing the change in her friend, before her expression quickly turned into a knowing look. “Nice hair-do, Reina.”
“Thanks,” Reina muttered, sticking her tongue out. She knew it was a little jagged at the moment; she would have to have someone trim it properly later.
Smirking, Junjun disappeared from the doorway. Reina looked at her girlfriend whose cheeks were blushed pink from embarrassment, just like hers. She took a hold of the turtle’s hand and squeezed it gently.
“I guess it’s time,” she murmured.
“… Yeah.” Eri bit down on her lips as if she wished to prevent the utterance of her true desires. She couldn’t possibly think of weakening Reina’s resolution now; it wasn’t fair to the kitten who had worked so hard to make this decision in the first place.
Silently, keeping their fingers entangled around each other’s, the two young lovers walked out of the nearly empty bedroom and down the stairs. Men wearing work clothes were already busily moving the furniture and boxes out of the house and into a large truck parked outside. A man wearing a suit stood by the front door bowed as the two girls approached him.
“Reina ojou-sama,” he addressed. “And Kamei-san.”
“Konnichiwa,” Eri greeted meekly.
“Good to see you, Kaneda,” the kitten nodded. “How’s Papa?”
“He’s doing well,” Kaneda answered. “The doctors think that returning to his hometown helped him.”
“I would assume so,” Reina smiled.
“I like what you did with your hair, Ojou-sama,” the secretary man complimented. “I haven’t seen it that short since you were a toddler.”
All of a sudden, there was a series of gasps from behind the kitten and the turtle along with varying degrees of thuds. They quickly turned around to see Junjun’s gang, standing with their eyes wide and mouths popped open, a couple of them with their hands suspended in the air. On their feet were the boxes that they had been holding. No one expressed pain; only exaggerated shock.
“R-reina-senpai’s… h-h-hair…!” Aika stammered, her legs starting to shake.
“Oh… my… gah…” Linlin mumbled.
“But… it was long!” Airi babbled. “Just a second ago!”
“Wait, what did we miss?” Chisato blabbered. “What happened?”
“Relax, girls,” Reina laughed. “Nothing happened. I just thought it might be a nice change.”
“Leave her alone, kids,” Junjun grinned, gently smacking a couple of the yankiis on their heads. “Come on, get those boxes outside and in that truck!”
Slowly unfreezing, the gang started to pick up the boxes that had dropped and continued on with their job. Eri couldn’t help but chuckle at the goofiness of the delinquents, yet their utmost obedience to their leader.
“Well, with that being said,” Kaneda said, “we will swiftly load everything onto the truck as soon as possible.”
And Kaneda kept his promise. As Reina and Eri sat together on their stairs, making last minute small-talk that was so insignificant yet so precious to them at this point, the combination of the Tanaka employees and Junjun’s gang got their job done quickly. In the blink of an eye, Reina’s house was stripped bare of any signs of a person living there. Minute by minute, Eri could feel the moment of farewell creeping closer and closer to her, until it reached her.
“Ojou-sama, it’s time.”
“Thank you, Kaneda.”
Determinedly, Reina stood up from her seat as Eri followed suit. She took one last look around the naked house, the place that she had called home for the past three years. Her eyes stopped at the faint spot in her wall where nails had been in. She smiled. At least she had managed to decorate it somewhat with pictures before leaving. She had made her mark.
Breathing in, Reina walked out of the white house without hesitation and met the bright sunlight. She strolled towards the street where a limousine was waiting for her. Kaneda opened the back seat door for her and waited. Reina turned around, knowing her girlfriend would be right behind her, waiting to say goodbye.
“Well,” she mumbled, “this is it.”
“No it’s not,” Reina grinned. “Don’t make this out to be the end of something. It means nothing. It’s not a significant point or a climax. It’s just another scene in our lives.”
Eri smiled at her lover’s logic. Same old Reina. “You know, I… have something to confess.”
“What is it?”
“The truth is… I really cried a lot these past few days,” the turtle laughed shakily. “Every night.”
“Mou~ Eri!” Reina groaned, rolling her eyes.
“I mean, I figured it was better to cry beforehand rather than cry in front of you today,” Eri smiled, shrugging. “And see, I’m not crying right now. I’ve used up all my tears.” She reached out and gently took Reina’s hands. “I wanted to send you off with a smile.”
“Then do that,” Reina grinned. “I’m going to leave, regretting nothing, and I want your blessings.”
Smiling, Eri leaned in and kissed her girlfriend’s forehead. “I’m proud of you,” she murmured. “I’m proud to know that I have such an amazingly brave and strong girl as my lover. I love you.”
Reina closed her eyes for a brief moment, a faint smile appearing on her lips, and leaned in to kiss Eri’s lips. “I love you…”
The two gazed at each other for a moment, both with an unreadable expression. Neither of them had to say anything more; their full emotions had already been conveyed, just through mere silence.
Nodding determinedly, Reina turned and got into the limousine. Kaneda closed the door and walked around to the other side to get into the passenger’s seat. The tinted windows rolled down to reveal Reina’s face one last time to the smiling turtle, as well as the rest of her friends standing behind.
“Have a safe trip, Senpai!” Linlin said.
“Come back to visit us!” Captain requested.
“Don’t forget us!” Maimi said.
“Bai bai, Tanaka-san!” Miyabi said.
“Tanaka-senpai!” Aika yelled, blushing. “I… you know… I really, really, really… like you! You’re my aspiration so… I’m going to work hard!”
“Arigatou, Aika,” Reina laughed. She reached out and ruffled the young girl’s hair. “Ganbatte ne.” Aika blushed at this as her lips spread into a huge grin.
“You know, I can follow you to Tokyo but I can’t follow you back,” Junjun joked, knocking fists with the kitten. “I won’t be around like old times anymore so… try not to get beat up by anybody down there.”
“I’ll stay on the safe side of the road, thanks,” Reina grinned.
Eri reached out and touched her girlfriend’s hand one last time. “Take care of yourself,” she said, smiling.
Reina nodded. “See you later,” she said, gently squeezing the turtle’s hand.
As the two hands parted, the limousine drove forward slowly, following the moving truck that had already left. The last thing Eri saw before the picture blurred was Reina’s smiling face, refusing to lose to the world. Same old Reina…
In the car, Reina finally leaned back in her seat, exhaling deeply. She chewed on her lips, feeling a sense of uneasiness. If she could hear her voice one more time… just see her one more time…
“Kaneda, open the sun roof!”
In a spur-of-the-moment decision, Reina stood up and stuck her head out of the window on the roof of the car. She looked back at her old home to see her lover’s back turned to her.
“Eri!”
The figure turned around to meet the kitten’s eyes. She put her hands around her mouth to carry her voice further out. “Reina!”
“KAMEI ERI!” Reina yelled. She needed to say something. Anything. “Are you sure you’re a girl?!” She could see Eri’s confused expression although they weren’t so close anymore, and laughed. “You’re not going to turn back into a boy next time, are you?!”
She could see Eri laughing out loud before she yelled back. “Does it matter?!”
Reina grinned, realizing Eri knew her answer already. And she knew it herself, too. “No!” she shouted back. “I love you either way! I LOVE YOU!”
“I LOVE YOU!”
As the car drove further and further away, the two lovers continued to wave towards each other until their vision completely disappeared. However, the echoes of each of their declaration rang out loud and clear to both of them.
I love you… I love you… I love you…
"And because we are young… this is only the beginning."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And with that, Chigatte Mo Iin da yo! has officially ended! :cow:
Readers, Lurkers, Thankers alike, thank you so much for reading :kneelbow: :wriggly: :on woohoo: :farofflook:
It took me about a year and a half, but I did it! It's done! 90 chapters! :wahaha:
And I couldn't have done it with all your support! :otomerika: :yossi:
Some of you may think this is a sad ending, but I don't really see it that way. The point is that they're both still 17 years old and their future is still undecided. Anything can happen. Which is why I threw that last quote in :D
As for epilogue chapters, I have 3 of them planned! So Chapter 90 is officially the end... 91-93 is more like little omake stuff XD
I'll continue posting them here, so check back! :D
As for the poll, it's locked :lol:
But I'm not telling you what I'm writing next... because I haven't decided yet :nervous
I'll post SUPER brief summaries... sometime... when i get around to it :P
Once again, thanks so much for reading!!! :twothumbs
-
Uwahh it's done :cry: I'm glad it ended on a happy note, though! :cathappy:
I just finished exams this past week so I'm sorry for yet another generic/seemingly thoughtless reply... :imdead:
-
Omg It's over T_T even if they part ways it didn't mean is a sad ending. They're still young and everything...
I know you can leave us just like that XD
Year by Year I wonder with such a nice story you will surprise us <3
We Love You <3 and support you until there's nothing left ~
-
*Slowly starts clapping*
Only 90 chapters huh? I was kinda expecting it to hit 100 XD Oh This is a long comment btw.
THIS STORY WAS AMAZING sweet,funny,drama filled, anxiety, blood, sweat, and tears lol..
(Because I have certainly used alot of my tears on this fan fiction, I think ever since Reina said she was leaving.. xD)
You did an wonderful job, which is expected of you :P
While i was reading and Eri was reminiscing i couldnt help but shed a few tears thinking "Ah! I remember that! Oh! I remember that moment too~."
Its really hard to see them part after all those things but, With this ending I loved it. It was so cute and something i could actually see the Real Reina doing :lol:
I cant wait til the epilogue. Because right now, Im not really grasping the fact that its over! (with time lol)
Im Glad Aichan and Gaki-san were doing well... well, the last mention of them says they were doing well..
Im most DEFINITELY tuning into your next one. I was like a year late on Kokoro no Uta, I came in during the middle of this one. I wanna be here at the beginning when you post the 1st chapter of a new fan fiction.
“KAMEI ERI!” Reina yelled. She needed to say something. Anything. “Are you sure you’re a girl?!” She could see Eri’s confused expression although they weren’t so close anymore, and laughed. “You’re not going to turn back into a boy next time, are you?!”
She could see Eri laughing out loud before she yelled back. “Does it matter?!”
Reina grinned, realizing Eri knew her answer already. And she knew it herself, too. “No!” she shouted back. “I love you either way! I LOVE YOU!”
“I LOVE YOU!”
As the car drove further and further away, the two lovers continued to wave towards each other until their vision completely disappeared. However, the echoes of each of their declaration rang out loud and clear to both of them.
BEST.... ENDING.... EVER!~ :farofflook: Its like sad, cute, funny, and sweet all mixed into one. It certainly made me laugh full heartedly.
Um, Maybe im starting to say the same things over just repharsing :mon sweat:
I think i conveyed my feelings enough.. :wub: This fan fiction was... simple.... Awesome. Hahaha :lol:
:heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

I just.. can't believe it's over...
I mean, you are going to Epilogue us, right?
Regardless, this was a wonderful read. I wasn't expecting this to end with the couples parting, it's such a non happy ending though, lol. So much went into this, it's just so urgh that they still end up getting split apart.
Not that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed the ride, you know. Nor am I disappointed in this ending! Maybe my inner Takagaki fangirl is still a little jealous of Tanakame getting the lime light, lol.
Anyway, whether you choose to grace us with an epilogue or not, I still will have loved this story.
-
This chapter wasn't as sad as I thought it was going to be
I loved Reina in this chapter (then again when don't I), Her promise scene was really sweet and her "final goodbye" mad me smile. Even if you weren't planning on writing a epilouge its nice to know that they will still be happy at the end of the day
-
IT'S HERE!! The final chapter... TAN TAN TAN TAN!! T^T GJAHGJDHUGAIGDOH!!!!!
I was sort of expecting 100 chapters. But still, it's good! It was a very good, emotional chapter. THANKS AUTHOR-SAN!!! (or can I call you SarangAi)
I spy with my little eye... NO TAKAGAKI!!:( But tanakame is nice too. So sweet.:wub: These fanfics just make my day.XD
Author-san, i'll be waiting for chapter 91-93! Don't keep me waiting for too long! :heart:
-
Waaaahhh its over. I was kind of hoping/expecting at least 100 chapters haha XD I find the ending somewhat bittersweet. Parting, although inevitable, are always a bit sad. I know its not the end, more like an ellipsis to their story? Therefore I shall await the next couple chps :P
Can't believe its been a year and a half! Doesn't seem like it. Good luck with the next story :cow:
-
Suddenly, I feel like I missed a party. ; A ;
It's the end. ; A ; And I can't wait for the Epilogues! *kyaas by the corner* That was a really sweet ending. ; A ; I don't think it's sad at all. The promise, it's so worth it. <333
Now I don't have enough words to go by. xDDDDD Please update soon~~~~ <33333333 *goes back to lurkingu*
-
Uwah i can't believe it, at the end of the chapter i was like, e really? XD
But congrats for your wonderful 2nd fic hahaha XD
Thank you so much sarangai!
I will wait for your next writting :)
-
" Nice story well done! I've been reading the past chapters too and they are all well made =] "
And about the hair cut that Reina did nice work on there, although I wish eri get's a short hair again.... pff~~ hehe
just to mention, while I'm still reading this chapter I listened to Hare Ame Nochi Suki... I don't know why but it just seemed to fit the mood =]
-
Ah what an ending to a great story, everything moves on but thier love for each other stays the same, great story Sarang!!! :bow:
-
Yes! :w00t: :twothumbs
Thank you for writing it all. :love:
-
bitter sweet ending is bittersweet ;3; its cute to see eri remembering everything that her and reina had been through. it shows how far they've come and how much both have matured really. the lasst meeting was ubber cute as wel as reina's promise...eventhough it was pretty drastic ^^; XD for a moment i thought she'd suddenly go and cut eri's hair XD but it was her own lol for your longest chapter it was great and it was a prefect ending :3
though u should know that inner biased takagaki fangirl in me is wanted a ending or a meeting or something for takagaki lol or even a group date, something~! XD lol good job on actually keeping ur word for ending under 100 chapters and i cant wait for these epolaugs....or however u spell them lol thanks again aiai for such wonderful stuff! :deco:
-
Yay! What an awesome coming of age story! I like the way it ends because we kinda get to decide in our minds how it pans out. I cant wait for the epilogues. I am thinking they will take place years later... Maybe? Thanks again! I cant wait to read more of your work and see who the new main couple will be ^^
-
OMG it`s been awhile since i have commented her is`nt it? XD
anyway i kinda wanted a takagaki ending LOL i don`t know why ..... maybe ur turning me into a takagaki-fan lol :?
anyway the ending was way too cute for what i imagine and way too soon for it :mon sweat:
Tanakame was cute as always :mon lovelaff:
i think it was awesome but this epilogues better cone fast cuz i want more .... with Takagaki :mon pray2: :shy2: <------- lol does this even fit here?
-
I finally caught up with this story and then...it's the end?! Lol :lol:
Thank you for the bittersweet ending. I'd like to think the 2 couples reunited after a while & what happens then is anyone's guess. That's life 8) Or maybe you'll tell us what will happen to the couples in your epilogues :lol:
-
Hey~
Long time lurker here ... And just registered here because of your story! :heart:
I love the whole concept and every day I checked the forum to see if there's another update. You can say that I was, or rather I'm, pretty addicted to the story!
Even when you didn't update this one in a while I took the time to read your other one; Kokoro no Uta - which I love too btw~
Now that this story has come to an end, which I really can accept even if it doesn't 'showed' my favorite couple TakaGaki, I hope that you'll write a few chapters to tell what happened to both couples, maybe plus SayuJun and LinAika :)
And then I'll be here and actually commenting too :nervous
Aww, yeah, this ending was really cute, to say it again~ :wub:
Can't wait for your next story. Take your time to write something great again~ <3
Hopefully TakaGaki will be in the next one too, even if they have just a small part. Now that Risa is graduating too in May, I need them more as ever lol
-

@xxkaori-kittyxx: yeah, it's bittersweet! not too sad but not too happy... well that's life XD
@risa_ai: you can call me whatever you'd like :lol: yeah, i didn't see room in there for TakaGaki! but i figured "well... i'm writing an epilogue anyways, whatever " :P

At first I thought, geez, I hate finals, when the future is somewhat blurred! :smoke: But then... Damn, so many options for future development. :hehehe:
This is the best ending of all possible. A little sad, cute and at the same time filling the hope.
Thank you for such a wonderful job. It was great. I'll go re-read everything from the beginning.

But meanwhile, check out the first of the three epilogue/omake chapters! :w00t:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 91: SayuJun
“Hey, kid, you got your allowance yesterday, right?”
“There’s this new game that we want…”
The little boy clutched on to his backpack as he backed away into the wall. But the two large high school students gave him no room to escape, for they towered over him together. The boy thought of screaming for help, but it hadn’t ever helped before. After all, he had been bullied in this deserted alley many times, leading him to lose his money on a weekly basis.
“I-if I tell mama I lost my allowance again,” the boy stammered, “I-I-I’ll really get into t-trouble…” He cringed further back as though he could shrink away and disappear.
“That’s none of our business,” the lankier boy sneered. “Just give us your money!”
“Yeah, before we pound your face in!” the fatter guy snickered.
The little boy trembled in fear as he started to panic. One of the older guys held up his fist threateningly as though he was about to punch any moment. But then, an unfamiliar voice came from the opening of the alley.
“Oi. You’re in my way.”
The three boys turned to see the silhouette of someone, slowly walking towards them. It was a girl with long-black hair that stretched down to nearly her waist. She was wearing a loose t-shirt that matched with her shorts; her face was pretty, but it was almost hidden with the red cap on her head.
“Just walk away while we’re giving you a chance, cutie,” the lanky boy smirked. “You don’t wanna mess with us.”
“Why don’t you pick on someone your own size?” the girl smiled confidently. “It’s kind of pathetic to see two grown boys bully an elementary school kid…”
“What the hell did you say?” the fat guy growled. “Who do you think you are?”
“W-wait a minute!” the other boy suddenly yelled, his eyes widening. “C-could she be…?!”
“What?”
“You’ve heard of her!” the boy yelled, starting to tremble in fear. “The long black-haired girl that ruled the streets of Tokyo, ever since her high school days! It’s been years but rumor has it that she’s still feared by most yankii gangs!”
“U-uso!” the fat boy gulped, taking a step back in fear. “Y-you mean to say that… this girl is… JUNJUN?!”
“J-junjun?!” the little elementary boy yelped, his skin turning white as though he was about to faint. “I’ve heard of you! You’ve beaten up most of the street fighters in Tokyo and even motorbike gangs! Even the police leaves you alone because you do a better job than them! You’re THAT Junjun?!”
“Ara.” The girl flipped her long black hair back and smiled sweetly. “So you’ve all heard of my girlfriend before.”
All three boys gasped in fear before swallowing hard.
“G-g-g-girlfriend?!” the lanky guy stuttered. “I-if she’s Junjun’s girlfriend… that means… this girl is…”
“Ah! I’ve heard of you, too!” the small kid yelled. “You were trained by Junjun and her gang, so now everyone fears you even more than the leader herself! The Black Beauty! The Poison-Tongue!”
“M-M-Michishige Sayumi!” the fat boy shouted, his voice cracking.
“Maa, maa~ I’m flattered that you know me,” the black-haired girl giggled, “although I doubt that I’m actually feared more than Jun…” Then, her expression changed from sugary sweetness to a dark glare with a mysterious smile. “Well, now that you know who I am… I suggest you leave quietly before I get… angry.”
Without another moment of hesitation, the two teenage boys ran off, screaming at the highest pitch they could manage. The elementary school boy’s mouth dropped open at the scene in front of him, amazed by how easily the bullies had been reprimanded by this cute girl.
“Mou, I can’t believe people would fear me more than Junjun!” Sayumi moaned. “How could anyone be afraid of this cute face?”
“That’s what’s so scary,” the little boy mumbled, “the gap between your outside and inside…”
“Did you say something?” the bunny asked, turning towards the little victim.
“Ah! Nope! I didn’t say anything!” the boy said quickly, clapping his hands over his mouth.
“You should be careful next time, too!” Sayumi warned, bending over a little to get eye-level with the kid. “There are a lot of mean high school students like that these days. You’re lucky I was passing through this alley today.”
“H-hai!” the boy answered, bowing. “Arigatou gozaimashita!”
“No problem,” Sayumi smiled. “Take care then~”
The bunny stood up straight and walked away into the alleyway as the little boy continued to marvel at her from behind. She started to pick up the pace as she quickly made her way through the passage. She had turned into the narrow path in the first place because she was behind schedule. Now, she would have to hurry along faster because of the little unexpected happening.
She sighed as she recalled the way those teenage boys had been afraid of her. Was she really that intimidating now? Such a thing would’ve been unthinkable just four years ago when she was still in high school. After all, she had been the antisocial new girl, the spoiled little ice princess who was bullied herself. Until, of course, Junjun and her gang had declared a “Usa-chan Revolution” in order to change her. And it had worked… to some degree.
And after graduating from high school, Sayumi had insisted that she learn some fighting techniques from Junjun. She claimed that it was for self-protection from those who considered Junjun and her growing following a threat, but it was more for the two of them. She had thought that if she learned something that her yankii girlfriend knew well, perhaps they would have an easier time understanding each other. But it was indeed true that she hated being the dependent one, always being protected like royalty. She wanted more freedom, more wildness in her life. She was surprised by her own change in attitude, yet she knew this was what she wanted. Perhaps the yankii girl philosophy was getting to her.
But after a couple self-defense actions towards those who tried to target Junjun through her, it seemed that the whole town was afraid of her more than Junjun herself. Sayumi was frustrated at this. Yes, all her friends happened to be yankiis and most of all, her girlfriend was a yankii too, but she had never considered herself a yankii. No, she would never actually label herself a delinquent (or an ex-delinquent, since the term was more for high school students and she was in the midst of her college years). She was a lady, and a prominent one of the Michishige family. That would never change. So it was incredibly vexing to know that she was considered more of a threat than the real gang leader herself.
Before she knew it, Sayumi was on a familiar street, headed towards the tiny rooftop home of her girlfriend. She figured that Junjun was probably home already by now from the internship that she had taken after turning down many other offers from various companies; she was still only in college but many companies had offered to pay her full tuition if she was to intern for them. After all, Junjun was known as one of the top students in Tokyo, if not Japan. Although she seemed very reliable and formal to the business world, she was actually still the same Junjun—Michishige Sayumi’s girlfriend—who was currently waiting for the bunny’s arrival so that they could start eating dinner. Sayumi had even given her nanny instructions to let her dog caretakers off work early today as well; Aika and Linlin deserved some down time as well, although they considered their job barely any “work”.
Suddenly, a couple figures emerged from the shadows and blocked Sayumi’s way, standing menacingly. Some had metal poles and bats in their hands. The bunny stopped in her tracks but her face showed no emotion. She was truly shocked, and rather scared, but it was another one of those things she learned from the girls, specifically Aika. No matter what, keep a poker face.
“Michishige Sayumi?” one of the men said in a low voice. “You’re gonna have to come with us.”
“Sorry, but I’m kind of busy right now,” the bunny sighed. “I’ll go with you boys next time, okay?”
“You think we’re joking here?!” another man growled, hitting the ground with a metal pole.
“Your girlfriend has been giving us a bit of trouble lately,” the man who seemed like the leader said. “She busted all our dealers to the police so now, we have no stash!”
“So you better come with us,” the first man rumbled. “Or else.”
“Maa~ you all brought metal bats and poles to kidnap a cute girl like me?” Sayumi pouted. “That’s kind of pathetic. No wonder why it was so easy to bust you guys. You guys are all kind of lame.”
“Why you—!”
One of the men dashed towards the bunny at full speed, swinging the bat in his hand. Sayumi groaned and mumbled something about how annoying this all was before ducking out of the way of the bat and punching the man’s face. Another gangster dashed towards her but met a similar fate as Sayumi’s feet hit his cheek. The rest of the men started to panic a little but continued to attack, but soon was defeated by Sayumi’s effortless strikes. Before long, the leader mumbled something like a little girl and started to run away, leaving his minions to limp after him. The bunny dusted off her outfit and flipped her hair and let out a breath of relief.
“Thank goodness they weren’t that aggressive,” she sighed. “I could’ve been in real trouble there…”
“You know, most people would define gangsters with metal poles as aggressive.”
Sayumi looked up towards the place where the familiar voice came from and let out a groan of frustration. Her girlfriend was perched up on a stone wall, sitting rather comfortably with her face in her hands. She grinned and waved a little.
“But then again, you’re not like most people,” she said, “which is why I like you.”
“Mou~ Junjun!” Sayumi scolded. “Have you been sitting there the whole time?”
“Yup,” the panda said proudly. “I thought of going out to meet you but I saw those guys coming… so I climbed up here to enjoy the show.”
“You could’ve helped me,” Sayumi grumbled.
“You didn’t need help,” Junjun shrugged.
“… I know,” the bunny admitted, rolling her eyes. “But couldn’t have come to save me anyway? Let me preserve a bit more class, will you? I’ll fight back when necessary but you know I don’t want people to think I’m a gangster or something!”
“Yeah, yeah, okay,” Junjun laughed. She jumped off the wall and dusted her clothes off. Then, she walked up to her lover and placed her hand underneath her chin. “I apologize, princess. Next time, I’ll make sure to come save you sooner.”
“… Fine,” Sayumi said, acting nonchalant. “I’ll forgive you, just this once.”
Smiling, Junjun leaned in and kissed the girl as Sayumi kissed back. She then took her hand and ushered her forward.
“Come on,” the panda said. “If we keep Aika and Linlin waiting any longer, one of them is going faint from hunger.”
Laughing, Sayumi nodded as she took a step forward. But then, she felt the world shift into a different angle as she toppled over from loss of balance. Fortunately, Junjun caught her just in time before she could hit the ground.
“Woah, what gives?” she asked.
“Ouch, I think I stepped on something…” Sayumi took off her shoe and looked at it. Realizing what had happened, she let out a yell of frustration. “Mou, that’s the third pair this month!”
“Your heels broke again?” Junjun chuckled. “I don’t know how you manage to break so many in one month.”
“It’s actually because of you!” the bunny grumbled. “I keep having to fight more these days, and that means more kicking, and that means more broken heels!”
Junjun laughed again, simply entertained by everything. “I guess it can’t be helped, then…”
In the blink of an eye, Sayumi was cradled snuggly into Junjun’s arms, lifted up in bridal style. The bunny let out a yelp of shock and clutched onto her girlfriend’s neck.
“J-Junjun!” she mumbled, blushing, “let me down! I’m heavy!”
“No you’re not, stop squirming.” Junjun grinned as she gently tossed the bunny into the air to get a better hold of her. “You can’t walk in your shoes anyway, right? I’ll just carry you like this the rest of the way.”
Before Sayumi could protest more, the panda started to walk forward whilst effortlessly carrying her lover. The bunny looked away shyly; twenty-one-years-old and she was still being held like this…
“This is kind of nostalgic, isn’t it?” Junjun said suddenly. “This is how we told everyone we were going out.”
“I didn’t tell anyone anything,” Sayumi retorted back. “You’re the one who just yelled it out.”
“But you’re the one that confessed by climbing a tree,” the panda smirked. “And then falling from it.”
Sayumi remained silent, unable to think of a good comeback. The truth was that she was also feeling nostalgic. She could never forget that very moment when Junjun caught her before she hit the ground, and the way she kissed her to answer her confession, and how she carried her like this for everyone to see…
“We were such romantics back then,” Sayumi said quietly. “Both of us, with all those challenges and stuff… so immature.”
“We’re still romantics,” Junjun replied. “And there was nothing wrong with those challenges. It’s how we got closer, isn’t it?”
“Yes, but thinking back into it, we were really childish, I think,” the bunny said. “We’re legally adults now; those days are over.”
“Think again, Usa-chan.”
Then, Junjun stopped in her tracks and kissed her girlfriend, just like she did four years ago, under that tree, in front of the whole school. Sayumi’s eyes widened for a while but then she closed them, remembering back to the time she experienced this first love as a youthful teenage girl. Junjun parted from her as she kissed her forehead one more time.
“There’s nothing wrong with being childish once in a while,” she grinned. “We can still be romantics. Twenty-one isn’t that old.”
Sayumi blinked a couple times before smiling, appreciating her girlfriend’s logic. She nodded in agreement as Junjun started to walk again.
“What’s for dinner?” the bunny asked.
“Udon,” the panda grinned. “But the noodles are a bit thicker this time… Think you can take it in?”
“Try me.”
Sayumi smiled confidently as her lover laughed at her reaction. The two lovers continued on in their way together, holding each other close.
There’s nothing wrong with staying young a little while longer… right?

Chapter 92: TakaGaki
“Just because I cut class for one day, Mama, it doesn’t mean I won’t graduate, you know?”
Risa attempted to make a case against her mother’s opinion as she bit off a piece of toast. Her mother just rolled her eyes and smiled, refusing to even discuss the matter at hand. This only made the bean even more frustrated as she let out a low groan. During these moments, she and her mother both agreed on the fact that Risa really did age backwards, in a sense. After all, she was 21 years old, yet she seemed more childish than she was at the age of 17. On the other hand, her mother had grown to become more mature over the past four years, or rather, revealed the truly mature mother self she always had been.
Perhaps it was because the bean’s lover lived so far away from her; day by day, Risa had noticed that she was getting clingier and clingier towards her girlfriend ever since she moved back to Fukui. She hated this part of herself, but her lover rather seemed like the fact that she was acting like an immature brat, and spoiled her even more through sweet talks on the phone and consistent love e-mails. And since Risa was being spoiled like a child, her mother had no choice but to be the mature one in the family now.
The argument today was also because of the said girlfriend. Ai was finally coming back up to Tokyo to visit the bean, but her train was to arrive during the time Risa was in lecture. The bean had insisted that she would skip one day of class to go meet her lover at the train station, but her mother had firmly disapproved.
“Really, Mama,” Risa argued again, “I’m in college now. Everybody cuts class once in a while. It won’t affect my grades that much. Please?”
“Oh, hush and finish your breakfast,” the mother scolded. “You’re going to be late for your lecture.”
“Mama~!” Risa proceeded to fall backwards onto the floor and roll around in frustration, throwing a tantrum. Her mother laughed as she gently smacked her daughter’s butt. “Itai!” Risa shot back up into a sitting position and pouted.
“Risa-chan, you almost have all your credits for graduating,” Mama Gaki said. “Didn’t you say you wanted to graduate this year?”
“I was supposed to graduate next year anyway…” Risa mumbled.
“Well, since you have enough credits anyway, just graduate this year,” the mother insisted. “Tuition costs a lot, Risa-chan; I think it’s great that you can graduate college in just three years. But, this means that you can’t slack off now. It doesn’t look good to the school board.”
“But… mou, Mama~!” Risa moaned again, gently kicking her feet against the floor. “I feel like I should go out to meet Ai-chan at the train station… I haven’t seen her in four years, Mama…”
“And you will see her,” the mother grinned. “After you come home from school.”
“Mama…”
“I’ll make sure to pick her up from the train station right on time, and I’ll bring her straight here,” Mama Gaki promised. “Now stop whining and go to class if you’re done eating. You have a bus to catch.”
Realizing that there was no way she could bend her mother’s will, Risa grumbled something incoherently as she slowly got up. She shuffled to the bathroom and brushed her teeth at the speed of light and quickly pulled a comb through her hair one last time. Then, she grabbed her bag on the way to the front door and shoved her feet into her shoes.
“Don’t forget, her train arrives at 1 o’clock!” Risa reminded her mother. “Platform 5!”
“Yes, yes, I got it,” Mama Gaki chuckled, waving from the living room sofa. “Itterasshai!”
“Itekimasu!”
The bean left her house energetically, shutting the door behind her. Her mother sighed in the living room as she leaned back, relieved that her daughter finally left.
“Oh dear, it was more difficult than I thought it would be to keep my mouth shut,” she mumbled to herself. “I think Takahashi-chan overestimated my acting abilities. I wonder if Risa-chan fell for it…?”
** ** **
Risa stepped out of the public bus and breathed in the fresh air. She was now directly facing the entrance of her college campus that led the way into the vast greens of the square. It had been a hassle her freshman year to walk from the bus station to the campus which took up a good 15 minutes more of her time, but the bus system had luckily added the college campus as another bus stop itself, so the bean would no longer have to factor in the extra time it would take for her to walk to the entrance.
Holding onto her bag, Risa walked through the gates and followed the neatly paved passage towards the lecture hall. Her day was to start off with a double-orientation of government and economics class. Since it was the start of a new semester (and hopefully, her last before graduating a year earlier than other students her age), all classes were to start with an orientation for students who were taking certain courses for the first time. Risa had been taking both courses for the past semester and was planning on finishing the requirement for each this coming semester; the orientation that she had already been through was sure to be boring.
Still mumbling complaints about how she wasn’t able to go to the train station, Risa entered the lecture hall and found the correct room. She was a little early, but many of the seats were already filled in. It looked like it would be a full house soon. Risa found a seat near the back where she had a clear view of the board and the podium, many levels below her row. The room was set up like most lecture halls in her college, with the students sitting on the higher levels to look downwards at the professor.
As she put her bag down on the table and sat down, Risa took out her cell phone from her pocket and found the familiar name on her contacts list. There was nothing wrong with texting before class started, right? Having convinced herself, Risa busily tapped on her keypad.
Mama will go out to meet you, she thought to herself as she texted. I can’t wait to see you.
She shut the cell phone cover and nervously tapped her foot for a while, waiting for a reply. Her cell phone vibrated in less than a minute and the bean quickly flipped it open.
I miss you, too, Risa read, thinking the words in her mind. We’ll see each other pretty soon. The moment will come before you know it.
The bean smiled, imagining her girlfriend said those words aloud. As she was about to quickly text back, the lecture hall door opened and two professors marched in. Sighing in regret, Risa quickly silenced her cell phone and put it away. The rest of the students quickly quieted down as well and found their seats. The two professors in the front—a middle-aged man and a slightly elder woman—approached the podium.
“Good morning, everyone!” the man boomed, allowing his voice to reach all the way to the back of the lecture hall. “To those of you who don’t know me, I will be your government instructor for this semester. Takagi Kazuya desu!”
“And I will be your economics professor,” the elderly lady said in a papery voice, causing all the students to lean forward in their seats in order to hear. “Meguro Kyoko desu.”
“Eh~ since today is only the orientation,” Takagi Kyouju continued, “we will simply be instructing you today on what you will learn for the next couple weeks. A laptop will be a requirement everyday—”
“Takagi Kyouju,” Meguro Kyouju interrupted, laughing softly, “aren’t you forgetting about something?”
“… Ah!” The man smacked his forehead gently, causing some students to laugh in good humor. “I completely forgot! Eh~ Minna-san! Last semester, we had a teacher’s assistant for Meguro Kyouju here on the economics side. For this semester, however, the government side will have a teacher’s assistant to aid you in properly learning this course.”
Risa nodded in comprehension as she thought back to her previous semester when she got to know her economics teacher’s assistant. She had been a graduate of some college in Miyagi that came up to Tokyo to learn how to teach at a university level. Supposedly, she had moved onto her next post as a teacher’s assistant somewhere in Fukuoka.
“So, we would like to introduce our new teacher’s assistant today,” Takagi Kyouju said as he turned his head towards the door. “You can come in now!”
The door slid open to let a small woman wearing a blouse with jeans and flats into the room. She had brown hair that was styled into a short boyish cut and wore thick-framed glasses. She turned towards the chalkboard and started to write her name in big letters. Risa slowly lifted her head that had been balancing on her hand as her eyes widened. The teacher’s assistant dusted her hands off and turned to face the students with a smile.
“I will be your teacher’s assistant for government this semester,” she announced. “Takahashi Ai desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.”
As the small woman bowed, the students clapped while whispering excitedly amongst themselves, impressed by her beauty. Risa’s mouth slowly dropped open as though something was about to be said, yet the words were still unknown. When her brain unfroze, however, Risa immediately acted on instinct: she smacked her hand down loudly on the table and shot up from her seat.
“HAA?!”
The room fell silent as all eyes turned towards the bean standing near the back with a shocked expression. The three teachers in the front of the room froze and stared at the student who had overreacted, not knowing how to react. The teacher’s assistant in particular gazed at her with surprised confusion in her eyes. But she was definitely Ai! Risa would be able to recognize that face anywhere! Her hair was much shorter now and she wore glasses, but that voice and features had not changed at all after all these years. It was definitely her Takahashi Ai, she was sure of it!
“Oi, Niigaki!” Takagi Kyouju yelled. “What’s up with the sudden screaming? Sit down!”
“But—”
“SIT.”
Swallowing hard, Risa slowly sat back down in her seat. Then she heard the whispers of her fellow peers, all questioning her action. That’s when the embarrassment of making a fool out of herself in front of everyone washed over. But she was absolutely sure that was Ai-chan! If she could just catch her eyes…
Risa stared intensely at the teacher’s assistant, trying to make eye contact with her. But the woman did not look up as she stared straight into empty space.
“Okay, now,” Takagi Kyouju said,” continuing from where we left off, a laptop is a must! You guys all might wanna write these requirements down…”
At the professor’s subtle hint, the students started to take out a writing utensil and a notepad all at once, causing a slight commotion. Risa remained still as she continued to stare at the short woman in the front of the room. Then, she slowly looked up at the bean, met her eyes, and smiled, winking like she used to do way back when. Risa felt herself blush as she gasped softly. It really was her! It was Takahashi Ai, Ai-chan, her girlfriend, her Ai-chan!
With another sly smirk, Ai slowly turned away from the bean to face the chalkboard and started to write whatever requirements the professors dictated. Risa chewed on her bottom lip as she tuned out the words that her instructors were saying and focused on her own thoughts instead. Why was Ai-chan here now? Her train wasn’t supposed to arrive until 1 o’clock! And most shocking of all… she was her T.A. now?! Just what was going on?
After spending the entire lecture wallowing in these questions that repeated over and over again in her mind, Risa finally realized that orientation was over and all the students were piling out of the room. Even the professors in the front were slowly exiting after shaking Ai’s hand. In a few moments, only the two of them were left in the large lecture hall. Risa slung her bag over her shoulder and slowly climbed down the stairs to approach the front of the room as Ai busily erased the chalkboard.
“Were you shocked?” she spoke up first, laughing a little. “I wanted it to be a surprise.”
“Some surprise,” Risa mumbled. “What are you doing in Tokyo so early? Your train’s not supposed to arrive for another couple hours.”
“My train arrived yesterday morning,” Ai grinned as she put the erase down and dusted her hands off. “My things are all in my new apartment already, too. I wanted to make it in time for my new job here.”
“As my TEACHER?!” Risa shrilled, her mouth dropping open in utter disbelief again.
“Teacher’s assistant,” Ai corrected.
“Oh, big difference,” the bean snapped. “Why did you take such a job anyway?”
“I was getting bored teaching middle school students in Fukui,” Ai said nonchalantly. “I wanted to move onto older kids. And since you can’t be a college professor right away… I thought that I might study a bit here. Maybe go to graduate school. Get a Ph.D.”
“You say it like it’s so easy…” Risa muttered to herself. “You come all the way here to Tokyo in secret without telling anyone—”
“Oh no, I told someone,” Ai interjected. “But that someone just didn’t tell you.”
“What? Who—” Risa stopped short and slowly narrowed her eyes in fury. “Mama… Mama desho?!”
“Don’t be too angry with her,” Ai laughed. “It was my request. I told her to pretend like she knows nothing.”
“Why didn’t you just tell me you were coming to Tokyo early?” Risa groaned. “And about getting hired at my college?”
“Well, it’s more fun this way, isn’t it?” Ai smiled. “I got to see a very cute Risa overreacting in the middle of a lecture… You haven’t changed a bit.”
“Yeah, well, you seem to have changed a lot,” Risa grumbled, crossing her arms. “Taking pleasure in another’s embarrassment…”
“I was always like that,” Ai disagreed. “You know I love teasing you.”
“Well… your hair changed,” Risa mumbled back. “You cut it.”
“Yeah, it was just easier to manage,” the older woman sighed, ruffling her hair. “I’m sorry… did you like it better long?”
“No, it looks nice like this, too,” Risa admitted. “And… you wear glasses now?”
“Occasionally,” Ai shrugged. “My eyes aren’t as good as they used to be.” Then, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around her girlfriend and pulled her close. “But since we’re this close to each other… I can see you clearly now. I don’t need my glasses anymore so… take them off for me?”
Risa blushed a little at the request, feeling conscious of the way her lover was holding her so gently, like a previous gem that she had longed for all these years. Risa reached out and slowly removed her girlfriend’s glasses and naturally placed her hands on her shoulders. Ai smiled warmly at her, a joyful blush obviously dyeing her cheeks as well. After four years, her features had not aged as much as one would expect, yet the evidence of being 27 and no longer 23 was there. However, her steady gaze towards the girl she was in love with as well as her welcoming smile had not faded away at all.
“I guess you haven’t changed so much after all…” Risa murmured, smiling. “I… really missed you, Ai-chan…”
“Not as much as I missed you…”
As though she could no longer hold back, Ai dipped in and kissed the lips that she had longed for these past four years. She was gentle and sweet, yet Risa could detect the certain hunger in her action. But all too soon, the bean leaned back slightly, breaking the contact.
“Ai-chan, we’re still in the lecture hall!” she whispered alarmingly. “What if someone sees?”
“Oh, let them,” Ai scoffed. “The worst they could do is kick me out again to Fukui.”
“Don’t even say such things; you’re going to give me a heart attack!” Risa scolded, gently slapping her lover’s arm. “After all that’s happened to us, you still want to take risks…”
“Well, what’s love without some danger?” Ai grinned. She kissed her girlfriend again, laughing softly. “If it’s you, I don’t mind another scandal…”
“Mou, Ai-chan…”
“Ah-ah, we’re still technically in school.” The older woman waved her finger in disapproval. “You can’t call your teacher by her name, that’s rude, Gaki-san.”
At this, Risa couldn’t help but laugh out as Ai quickly joined in. Then, she looked at her lover again with bright eyes that held much hope for the future.
“Well then,” Risa said, smiling, “mata yoroshiku onegaishimasu… Sensei.”

Chapter 93: TanaKame
“Kamei Eri, mou, BAKA!”
Reina screamed into the phone with all her might, finally letting the anger explode out of her. She could imagine her girlfriend on the other line, cringing away from the phone, but she didn’t care. If anything, she deserved such treatment, and even worse at this point.
“Whaddaya mean you can’t come tomorrow?!” Reina continued yelling. “You promised! That ain’t fair!”
“Ano… Reina…” the meek voice on the other line squeaked, “your dialect is coming out…”
Reina blinked a couple times, not having realized that she had unconsciously slipped in to her Hakata-ben. She cleared her throat to calm herself down a little and tried to speak as a civilized lady would, reverting back to standard Japanese.
“Eri… love… listen to me,” Reina said through her teeth, forcing a tight smile. “You said that you would come down to Fukuoka tomorrow. You said you would stay at my place for two weeks. You promised me!”
“I know I did, and I’m sorry, Reina,” Eri apologized, her guilt evident in her voice. “Something came up suddenly and my plans changed. So I can’t go tomorrow…”
“Mou, Eri!” Reina moaned. “We haven’t seen each other face to face in four years. What could be more important than seeing me?”
“I thought my boss was going to give me two weeks off!” the turtle said. “It turns out a lot of other employees asked for vacation time too, and we’re awarded according to seniority… and I’m still only a junior employee.”
“Demo…”
Reina sighed as her voice trailed off. There was nothing more she wanted to do then to tell her girlfriend to just screw her job. But she couldn’t possibly say that to her. It wasn’t easy for Eri to get a simple job as an office worker in the first place, being the airhead that she was. Since she chose not to go to college, she had to make a living somehow. She had moved back into her parent’s home in Yokohama after high school graduation, but her parents were about to kick her right back out, saying that she was an adult now and that she should be taking care of herself.
“Reina, I really am sorry about this,” the voice mumbled over the phone. “But I’ll definitely go see you next time! Or you can come up to Yokohama. Okay?”
“… Okay,” Reina answered unwillingly. “Take care of yourself, alright?”
“I love you,” Eri said sweetly. Reina could practically see her girlfriend do a little pout with that irresistible smile. She sighed.
“Love you, too,” she answered, unable to help but smile as well.
She hung up and tossed her cell phone back in her purse. Then, she fell back onto her bed and dragged her pillow over her face to scream into it in frustration. She felt as though she still had some anger left to express, yet she did not wish to let them out on her girlfriend. True, it was completely aho Eri’s fault that she could not keep her promise to come visit Reina in Fukuoka. But the turtle always did have a way with people that got her out of the tightest situations, including this one.
Deciding that staying in her bedroom was only going to make her even more restless, Reina got out of bed and went into the bathroom. She grabbed her brush from the counter and quickly yanked it through her long hair. She hadn’t cut it in a long time, so her brown locks had reached her abdomen. As she ruffled her hair gently to give it a bit more volume, Reina grabbed her purse and ran out of her room. She would go out and get some fresh air, maybe go to a café or a bakery to lament her sad fate of being in a long-distance relationship alone with a cup of coffee. Or red bull. It would depend whether she wanted to simmer down her fury or convert it to energy to work it out later through physical activity.
Reina skittered down the stairs to enter the large living room. The low hum of the television reverberated just like any other morning as her father watched the news intently while eating a muffin. As it was a Sunday, the usually professional Tanaka Koichi was out of his suit and in a comfortable pair of pajama pants and a shirt. Ever since the father and daughter started to live together again in the same house, Reina had made it a strict rule that the President was not allowed to address any matters of his company during weekends, so that he may rest a while and take care of his health. It was difficult to get her father to obey this rule at first since he was quite the workaholic; but somehow, Reina’s very presence itself allowed for Tanaka Koichi to loosen up a little and accept the fact that he doesn’t have to be the one to do all the work. He willingly let himself be taken care of, which the kitten did to all her might.
“Papa, I’m going out for a while,” Reina announced, going up to her father sitting on the couch.
“Where are you going?” the man asked. “You don’t have classes today. Don’t you have a paper to write?”
“It’s already finished, Papa,” Reina chuckled. “I’m just going to get some air, okay? I’ll be back by noon.”
The girl kissed her father’s cheek and smiled before walking out the front door. Her father grunted as though he disapproved but did not say anything. It was evident by the gleam in his eyes and the twitch in the corner of his lips that he was glad to have his daughter back with him.
** ** **
“Baka-Eri… Baka-Kame… Mou, Kono Aho-Kame…”
Reina continued to mumble immature insults about her girlfriend as she slipped into an empty booth. With the speed that she was pacing furiously at, the kitten had arrived at the nearest café in no time, and was easily able to find an empty table. She placed her elbows on the table and balanced her chin in her hands, sighing. She felt ridiculously childish, still being so frustrated over the current situation, but she couldn’t help it. Rather, she felt that this was evidence of just how much she missed Eri.
Still, Reina knew that she herself had yet to personally find out how demanding an actual job could be. After all, she was still only in college. Following her high school graduation, Reina had, after much deliberation, decided to continue her education as a university student with a major in business nonetheless. Her father had told her that she didn’t have to major in business just because of him, but the kitten made such a choice anyway. The truth was that she actually didn’t feel any obligation to inherit her father’s company, as Tanaka-Shachou had completely removed that burden from her shoulders. However, Reina still wished to be knowledgeable in the area of business so that if need be, in the case of an emergency, she could help the company stay intact. After all, the future was unpredictable.
Surprisingly, Reina had found her area of major quite interesting. It wasn’t exactly what she wanted to do, but the classes were still intriguing enough for her to stay in the business program track. However, her father had insisted that if she were to go to graduate school, she should study something that she personally likes. And Reina was considering taking her father up on that offer. She wasn’t exactly sure what she wanted to study yet, but the idea of staying in school a little while longer didn’t sound too bad. Perhaps she’ll study the fashion industry. Nothing was planned as of yet, but it was definitely a possibility
“Okyaku-sama, what would you like to order?”
Reina looked up to find a young waitress, holding a notepad, waiting for her to speak. The kitten quickly gathered her thoughts and cleared her throat.
“I’ll just have a coffee, thanks,” she said, deciding against her previous thoughts of having red bull early in the morning. “Just milk, no sugar.”
“Hai, please wait a moment.”
As the waitress disappeared through the kitchen door, Reina leaned back into her seat and exhaled deeply. She still felt a little annoyed by Eri’s change of plans, but it couldn’t helped. She could only hope that her coffee will help calm her down.
“Nee, Onee-chan, what happened? Are you upset about something?”
Raising an eyebrow, Reina slightly turned her head to see the tip of a red cap, sticking out from above her. She rolled her eyes and turned away. Apparently, some kid was trying to make conversation with her from the booth behind her. From his whispering voice, he sounded like a grade school kid with a slight cold: husky enough to be a boy’s, but the pitch high enough to be almost a girl’s.
“You should sit properly in your seat, little boy,” Reina sighed. “Mind your manners in a public place.”
“Nee, Onee-chan, why are you sad?” the boy asked again, ignoring the kitten’s advice.
“What makes you think I’m sad?” Reina mumbled, putting up a front.
“Because you were sighing like this,” the boy said, proceeding to exaggerate the way Reina had exhaled before. “Is something on your mind?”
“It’s nothing a little boy like you would understand,” the kitten sighed again, leaning her elbow against the table. “Shouldn’t you be in school or something?”
“Today’s Sunday, Onee-chan.” The boy snickered as Reina frowned, feeling like she had lost to a brat that was probably a good ten years younger than her. “Nee, my friends tell me I’m a real good listener. I’m a bit of an aho but I listen well. Tell me what happened!”
Aho. Hm. That rang a familiar bell. Oh right. It was her aho girlfriend who completely ditched her plans for tomorrow. Right. That aho. Reina rolled her eyes, wondering why she was still talking to a random little boy, and spoke.
“My… friend… cancelled on me,” she grumbled. “She was supposed to come tomorrow to meet me, but she cancelled at the last minute.”
“Maybe she had a good reason?” the boy suggested.
“But we haven’t seen each other in four years!” Reina groaned, really starting to pour her heart out. “You know, every single time we try to meet up, something always happens. I hate long distance relationships.”
“Wow, you and your friend must be really close.”
“… Yeah, we’re close…” Closer than you’ll ever know.
“But even if you don’t see her tomorrow,” the boy said, “you’ll see her soon enough, right? I mean, it’s not like you’ll never see her, right?”
“… Yeah, I guess so…” Huh. This brat actually sounds like he knows what he’s talking about…
“And then, when you meet her later,” the boy continued excitedly, “then, the wait will feel even more worth it, right? And then, you’re even happier, right?”
Reina cocked her head to the side and wrinkled her eyebrows. She felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. This boy actually gave pretty good advice. She smiled a little, feeling slightly pathetic again about losing to a kid 10 years younger than her, but also glad that she had had this talk with him.
“Right…” she said. “Thanks kid, I actually kind of feel better now.”
“See, told you I’m a good listener,” the boy laughed.
“You did more than listen,” Reina mumbled to herself, grinning. “Arigatou na.”
“Nee, Onee-chan,” the boy exclaimed again, “I know how to make you feel better!”
“It’s alright, kid, you did more than enough,” Reina chuckled to herself. The waitress that had taken her order came back and placed a mug of coffee in front of her, but the kitten only took a small sip. She didn’t need it as badly as she did before.
“Oh, but it’s such a good idea!” the boy moaned. “Onee-chan, I promise it’ll definitely make your day. Nee? Nee? Nee?”
“Alright already,” Reina said, rolling her eyes. “What is it?”
“Move in,” the boy said. “Let me slide in with you.”
The kitten did as she was told as she suddenly became curious of who this boy was. She looked behind her, but the tip of the red cap disappeared before she could see the boy’s face. Then, someone slipped into the booth beside her, someone much taller than a little boy, and much too pretty. Reina’s eyes slowly grew wide at the revelation of the “boy” she had been talking to. The person smiled while taking off the red cap to cover the side of their faces. Locks of long brown hair tumbled down from being hidden in the cap. The person then proceeded to lean in and kissed Reina’s lips sweetly, expressing the love that had been held back for many years through one swift contact. The person slowly backed away as Reina’s wide eyes refocused on the familiar face in front of her. Despite the long hair that was not a part of her memories, Reina knew exactly who the person was. Those warm eyes, that bright smile, the warm touch… it was unmistakable.
“E-Eri…?” Reina mumbled, blinking furiously. “It… It’s really you!”
“It’s really me!” Eri laughed, stroking the kitten’s cheek. “Miss me?”
“… Mou… BAKA!”
Suddenly, Eri found herself being pushed back roughly as the kitten forced herself out of the booth. The turtle stumbled out of her seat and rubbed her knees after banging it on the table. It was evident by the kitten’s reaction that the turtle’s idea of feeling more worth in a longer wait had not sunk into Reina’s brain completely.
“Itai! Reina, that hurt!” she whined.
“Mou, baka baka baka! You’re the biggest aho in the world!” Reina yelled angrily. Then, she marched out of the café as everybody stared at her back. After she left the building, all the eyes turned to the turtle that was left behind. Eri looked around and laughed nervously.
“Sumimasen~ for causing a disturbance!” she apologized, smiling. “She’s not really mad, don’t worry!”
Then, Eri quickly followed her girlfriend out of the store. She looked both ways before setting sights on her tiny girlfriend, marching furiously away. She called out to her, but the kitten refused to stop in her tracks or turn around to acknowledge the turtle. As Eri walked behind her as fast as possible without running, Reina found herself walking on her own, silent street in no time, away from the town area. Alas, the click-clacking of her follower did not cease, but only grew faster as it caught up to her.
“Reina, chotto matte!”
Eri grabbed her lover’s wrist and spun her around to make eye contact. Reina glared at her in fury as she bit down on her lip.
“Mou, why are you so angry?” Eri said, smiling goofily. “Come on, don’t be angry. Please?”
“Eri, you’re the worst!” Reina cried out. “You know how upset I was when you told me you couldn’t visit me tomorrow?”
“I said I had a change of plans,” the turtle grinned. “I didn’t say my visit wouldn’t occur sooner.”
“And you just… with that cap and… pretending to be a kid and… mou, BAKA!”
Reina stomped her feet on the ground and pouted, clenching her fists tightly. But her girlfriend merely chuckled and wrapped her arms around her. Reina considered pushing her away, but she had missed the warmth too much to be able to do that.
“Gomene, Reina,” Eri whispered softly in her ear, the hint of a smile still evident in her voice. “I just wanted to surprise you a little; I didn’t think you’d be shocked this much. I’m sorry. Please forgive me?”
“… It’s not something I can forgive so easily,” Reina muttered. “You better make it up to me.”
Eri backed away a little to look at her lover’s face. “How can I make it up to you?”
“… You’re really gonna make me say it?” Reina’s face turned red as she looked into Eri’s eyes. The turtle grinned as she leaned in close again.
“I’ll spare you the trouble…”
Then, the two lovers kissed once more, comfortable in each other’s arms, with much more passion than before. It was impossible to release all their feelings that had been pent up for the past four years in a single kiss, but they would go as far as possible. As they held each other’s faces in hand like a piece of jewel, they parted for air for a brief moment.
“I missed you…” Reina confessed softly. “I wanted to see you…”
“I missed you, too,” Eri laughed. “And I kept my promise.”
Chuckling, Reina ran her fingers through Eri’s soft brown curls. Her hair was below her chest, and it was about the same length as Reina’s. Reina looked into her girlfriend’s eyes again and smiled.
“It’s beautiful,” she said. “You’re beautiful.”
“Well,” the turtle grinned, “is it okay that I’m a girl now?”
“Does it matter?” Reina replied back, quoting her girlfriend.
“Nope,” Eri laughed. “Because you love me either way.”
As the two lovers laughed together, they continued their kiss from before, reluctant to let go. Being together, with each other… it felt as though nothing had changed. It seemed as though they were still both teenagers, unaware of what was to come and unwilling to accept it. It felt as though nothing in the past had happened. All that was left was now, the present, and the unforeseeable future. But as long as they were together, Reina and Eri both knew that nothing in the future would mark the end.
And because we are young… this is only the beginning.

WOAH totally just missed my body part there.....
like, i wrote abdomen but i meant that part RIGHT below your chest but RIGHT above your upper stomach.... like, where your lungs end, kinda.... ugh i don't even know
No you were right.. I think.. I'm just saying Reina cuts her hair before it gets to that point (Or is it because she has it curled and in a ponytail that i never see it go to her abdomen if its able too :? Ahh unsure lol)
Whatever its awesome, shes awesome either way!
-
^
Is it the abdomen??? i don't know, isn't the abdomen like, near your stomach? or is it the part slightly above? UGH CONFUSION :panic:
well... either way, as long as you get it XD
-
The abdomen is your belly. For hair, 'mid back length' is probably a more suitable term.
-
Oh how I will miss this :rofl:
I'll miss checking everyday for your updates.
Oh, SarangAi, I love you! LOL XD
-
@rndmnwierd: oh rndy, my fanfic writing senpai, giving me advice on phrasing things~~~ :D thank you! you'll probably see me using that exact phrase in my writing now XD XD
@xyukie56: lol~ hopefully, you'll start checking again soon! :D :D
-
Man, I thought I replied already. OTL.
Reina fell for it, of course she would. OF COURSE SHE WOULD. *chuckles to death* xD Long haired Eririn is just really mesmerizing, I know. OTL But at least she still somehow managed to pass like a boy. LOL. xDDD Man Ai-chan and Eririn are good at surprising people. xDD It has been a long and epic ride, SarangAi-san! xD
Now I'm curious on what you are going to write about next...
*silently prays KameShige and TakaGaki...*
-

-

@KirikomoriHime: LOL find something else to do.... and then come back when i'm back! :D
-
Welp its over :c Teehee I loved Eri pretending to be a boy :thumbsup
Reina: “… You’re really gonna make me say it?”

Surprises and shocks are always welcome. ;A;!!! And Write KameShige~~ They're like... extinct or something. OTL. ;___;
-
@astro18: LOL i'll leave the rest up to your imagination XD
@arisa03: but TanaShige is extinct too~ ugh i don't know what to write! :bleed eyes:
-
How about you forget them both and write tanagaki and takashige instead :lol:
-
^
LOLOL there's an idea. maybe i will. XD XD
honestly, the way it's going to work is, i'm gonna wake up one day and just think to myself, "hm i like this couple. yes." and just go with it. :lol:
-
Takashige sounds like a dream :wub: please wake up liking them! :twothumbs
-
Maaaan I've missed so much~ But I'm so sad this story has ended~ I loved it so much <3
SayuJun epilogue: Lol I had to make sure I was reading Chigatte mo Iin da yo and not some Shugo Chara fanfiction ^_^; I was so surprised that Sayu was so...so hardcore and epic lol. She's feared by Jun huh? That's a shocker right there since I doubt ANYONE was afraid of her during the majority of the story. ...you've turned me into a SayuJun fan y'know. <3
TakaGaki epilogue: Gaaaaaaaaaaaaah~ So cute! So cute! My squishy heart loving TakaGaki tracker has gone off the radar! I can't believe Aichan is her sensei again! And they're willing to face the chances together~ how romantic :wub: Though I wonder, did Risa ever find out that her mama knew of TakaGaki since the beginning? And why doesn't her mama fangirl like the rest of us? :P Man...I don't think I'll be in a bad mood for a while lol~
TanaKame epilogue: Lol Eri as the annoying kid. Surprised yankii Reina didn't come out and knock her out and then expose her that way. She's turned into such a softie now hehe (^ u ^) I loved how they met up again. And the long hair...they've waited so long huh? Glad Tanaka papa is okay though :)
Man...still gushing over the TakaGaki lol :D Now off to check out your new stuff, which I'm already bouncing in my seat for~ I hope you enjoyed your break cause now all your fans are going to be hounding you for more and more :D
