I BET IT'S RIKAAAAAAAAA!!! :w00t:
Rika remembered her father who could eat that much. ~To-san. She missed him. A teardrop rolled down her cheek. Hitomi caught the teardrop with her thumb and wiped it away. She didn’t say anything but placed her hand on Rika’s.
If there’s something troubling you that you think you can’t handle alone, you can tell me.
In her mind, Ayaka gave out an evil laugh. I will make you look even more kawaii~
Ayaka turned to Rika. “That was Yoshiko. She said she’ll be home by five… … which gives me an idea…”
“Don’t worry… I will… I’ll be looking forward to seeing again you later…” Hitomi gave a smile that could melt anyone’s heart and a quick peck on a blushing Rika’s cheek.:luvluv1: :wriggly: :nya: :mon blood:
School starts in two weeks so expect a bagazillion updates from Friday this week to the 10th of June...

School starts in two weeks so expect a bagazillion updates from Friday this week to the 10th of June... and then, probably, updates will be scarce... :bleed eyes:
thanks to all readers... wish i can take the story to the level of a novel but my writing style's slightly screwed so... :lol:
Is Ishikawa CorPrint (Corporate Printers) making a comeback?
Mai ran to where Rika sat and examined her closely. “Oh my… She is kawaii indeed… Ayaka wasn’t lying… Yoshiko, you are so lucky to have a super kawaii girlf— ITAI!“ Hitomi stepped on her toe. “— girl… staying with you at home. She must have been filling your flat with pure kawaiiness …”
Rika just had a puzzled look on her face as she had no idea of what was going on. She stole glances at Hitomi who looked so… so… so… much like an executive. She felt her cheeks getting warmer as Hitomi placed a hand on her shoulder. “Rika, this is Satoda Mai and Mai, this is Ishikawa Rika”
Ishikawa Mayumi… Hitomi would really be interested in that…i wonder why.... :mon dunno:
QuoteIshikawa Mayumi… Hitomi would really be interested in that…i wonder why.... :mon dunno:
ayaka and ayumi? could it be? :inlove:
Taking a small container with cold steamed rice. Aha!Fried rice?
She pierced the center of the egg. Egg yolk, still in liquid form flowed out. Rika scooped out the yolk and mixed it with her fried rice. She then cut a small piece of tapa and egg white and ate it with the yolk-drenched rice.yum, I'm full but I'm kinda :drool:
Hitomi ate 3 cups of fried rice, two eggs and three pieces of tapa.Shouldn’t she eat less because rice is scarce? :grin:
Ayaka, it’s me. Make reservations at the Peninsula Hotel for Matsuura Aya.Yay! additional character. I wonder when will Miki appear
Rika was washing the dishes when Hitomi snuck up behind her. Hitomi wrapped an arm around Rika’s waist. Rika froze. She almost dropped the teacup she was washing. Good thing Hitomi caught it with her free hand.
“Rika-chan… thanks for waking up early again this morning… and for another wonderful breakfast.” She held Rika closer as she planted a kiss behind Rika’s ear.
“I’ll see you later, Rika-chan… I’ll come home early… I promise.”
Rika was washing the dishes when Hitomi snuck up behind her. Hitomi wrapped an arm around Rika’s waist. Rika froze. She almost dropped the teacup she was washing. Good thing Hitomi caught it with her free hand.

“I’ll see you later, Rika-chan… I’ll come home early… I promise.”
Why is Rika-chan meeting up with Yoshizawa-san? Is Ishikawa CorPrint (Corporate Printers) making a comeback?Oh great...Rika's ordeal was probably business-related, wasn't it?
“Oh my… She is kawaii indeed… Ayaka wasn’t lying… Yoshiko, you are so lucky to have a super kawaii girlf— ITAI!“ Hitomi stepped on her toe. “— girl… staying with you at home. She must have been filling your flat with pure kawaiiness …”Yossi must have been talking about Rika quite a bit at the office. :lol:
“Okay, President Yoshizawa Yoshiko… I promise I won’t exhaust her…” Mai teased Hitomi.:twisted:
“Come along now, Rika-chan… … … You’re so kawaii…” Mai walked ahead and Rika followed her to the office.Mai = :wriggly:
Rika barely read the titles until a thick one with a red stamp at the corner got her attention. The folder had “Ishikawa CorPrint – Yoshizawa PubCom Merger Ad written in bold letters in front. CorPrint was a known name to her because her family owned it until it fell into bankruptcy in 2002.I KNEW IT!!! :shocked:
Ayumi just nodded along, confused. The company president just called my best friend ‘Rika-chan in the office… PERFECT MATCH!?!?!Shiba-chan = :dizzy:
Ayumi faced Ayaka, “… In our senior year, Rika’s father committed suicide because their business crashed into bankruptcy… After our graduation, she just disappeared. That was around five years ago. She didn’t even tell me where she went. I was really worried about her and tried to find her in Japan even while I was studying in the university. After asking around, I heard that her stepmother might have taken her to the Philippines. That’s why I decided to work for the company when the main office was moved here. I figured that I could find her. I planned to resign and go back to Japan because I thought she wasn’t here. I’ve spent three years in this country looking for her.”Time to investigate what step-mom's been up to.
Ayumi was silent. She felt strange seeing Rika like that, not speaking and being all buddy-buddy and sweet with three of the most important young people in the world economy. Kawaii!? They’ve said that about Rika for the nth time! She just gazed at Rika who didn’t seem to notice.Shiba-chan jealous? :P
Hitomi noticed her gazing at Rika “Ayumi, if you want to spend time with Rika tonight, you can sleep over at our place”Well, having Yossi there would make things a bit awkward. :sweatdrop:
Rika was surprised. Our place?
Ayumi was surprised at the offer and was pleased that it was made but she declined “I’m sorry but I can’t tonight, I have to do something at home tonight” she lied.
“Aww, don’t you want to have a heart to heart talk with Rika?” Ayaka said, quite disappointed.
Ayaka unlocked the doors her car “Yoshiko, don’t forget. Tomorrow is a Sunday. The office is closed. Okay?” Ayaka reminded Hitomi who sometimes forgets that Sunday is the company rest day. “Only Mai has work on Sundays.” Ayaka added poking at Mai.Ouch. :-X
“Don’t remind me…” Mai said, annoyed.
Her Auntie was her best bud here for the first four years. But in the fifth… …Why did she change? Didn’t she hear me scream? Didn’t she hear me say no? Didn’t she see what he did to me? What he did to me…Oh FUCK! :OMG:
Rika closed her eyes tighter hoping to block the images of a man he once trusted. She remembered it all. The smell of alcohol and smoke in the room . She sat up not wanting to feel his weight on her again and that strong punch he gave her at the stomach that left her unconscious. She tried to block her ears with her hands. She didn’t want to hear Auntie Mayumi’s voice. Puta ka talaga! Napakalandi mo! Pati Tito Dan mo, pinatos mo! Dapat pagkakitaan mo na lang ‘yang kalandian mo imbes na mang-agaw ka! (You are such a whore. You’re such a flirt! You even seduced your Uncle Dan! Why don’t you try earning a living with your flirtatiousness instead of stealing someone else’s man?)
Rika wept silently. She didn’t want to wake Hitomi with her sobs. I didn’t seduce him! I was sleeping! Didn’t you see? She bit a finger to keep herself from screamin
Hitomi woke up to a strange smell. Is that… garlic? She walked to the dining table where Rika was sitting, waiting for her.It's good stuff, it is.
Rika took out the sketchbook “Good morning”
“Good morning, Rika… What did you cook for breakfast?”
“Tapsilog”
*RIKA'S STORY*:cry:
“Yoshiko. It’s Mai”Oh boy...:O
“What’s up?”
“I’m here at the office. Your father just called.”
“What did he say?”
“He called to tell me that he and Matsuura-san are about to board the plane to here.”
“Nani?! Isn’t he in Hong Kong?”
“Yes. It seems he already met up with Matsuura-san in Hong Kong.”
“When did he call?”
“Just before I called you. The plane will arrive in about one and a half hour…
and I think I might have found something of interest to you… I’ll tell you later…”Something about Rika?
“… Okay… Bring your van. Meet me here. I’ll call Ayaka. Bye.” Hitomi hung up and dialed Ayaka’s number.Wait, the "Matsuura-san" here is AYA??? :o
“Moshi moshi…”
“Ayaka, it’s me. Make reservations at the Peninsula Hotel for Matsuura Aya. Ask for the best suite, a double room and a conference room. Also make reservations for a single room at the Bayview Hotel. Bring your car and meet us at the airport.”
What on earth is he thinking?
Rika hasn’t seen this side of Hitomi yet. She seemed so uptight. So tense. So anxious. So nervous.This undoubtedly must be a really big, really important business deal.
Luckily, it’s a Sunday. Driving in EdSA was a breeze. Mai’s Toyota Grandia sped through the highway.In case anyone didn't know what EDSA was or what a Gradia looked like.
“Ayaka, we’re at the airport. Where are you?”Yeah, Toyota's are pretty popular back home. :grin:
“I’m right behind you. Literally.”
Hitomi looked back to see Ayaka waving at her from her Toyota Camry. She waved back.
“Anyway. Have you made the reservations?”By "him"...I take it Yossi's referring to her father?
“Yes.”
“You know what to do.”
“Don’t worry, Yoshiko, I’ll take care of him”
The two vehicles drove to the arrivals area of NAIA (formerly Manila International Airport or MIA). Hitomi immediately saw the familiar faces of her father, Fujimoto Miki and Matsuura Aya standing right beside him.Ah, so THAT's why she had a double-room booked. Miki-sama's there too. O0
Fujimoto and Matsuura boarded the van. Hitomi followed them quickly, closing and locking the door. The van quickly drove off to the Pen. When Ayaka drove off in the same direction, Yoshizawa Jin felt relieved. But the feeling of relief was shattered when Ayaka pulled over at the Bayview Hotel at Roxas Boulevard as the van drove past them.Hopefully Miki and Aya won't find it too strange that Yossi's dad isn't joining them.
“Sumimasen, Yoshizawa-san… this is as far as you can go… I have made reservations for you.”
“It is a pleasure to meet all of you. But Yossui, formalities like these are not necessary.” Smiles suddenly cracked from Hitomi and Aya’s faces.Ah, so they already know each other? Wonder if Yossi's dad was aware of that?
“Well, Ayaya, you know me. I’m all for formality.”
“But to re-introduce me to Mai-chan and Ayaka-chan? That’s too much.”
“You did get to meet fresh faces, ne?”
“Yeah… but I didn’t know you were the type to get a personal assistant.”:shy2:
“… Well… I needed company at home.”
“… Well… I needed company at home.”Yossi should have made that reservation for a "double-bed", instead of a "double room". :pimp:
“Well, if you put it that way, you could call Mikitty my personal assistant too.”
Laughter broke out from Ayaya, Ayaka and Mai.Awwwwwwwww...Rika noticed. :oops:
“Hey, I didn’t mean it like that!” Hitomi went on defensive mode. Rika caught Aya’s drift and blushed after recalling how Aya and Miki held hands in the van.
“Kabutomushi, You are still a sneaky devil…” Miki butted in.She did??? :rofl:
“Well, well, well… Look who’s talking!” Hitomi talked back. “I suddenly remembered a certain somebody called Kuwagata who studied engineering even though she didn’t like engineering just to work for a certain somebody who happens to own a motors company named Matsuura Motors!”
“Anyway, I chose to come here unannounced so that my father couldn’t bug me, in more ways than one. He’s the one thing that kept me from signing into the merger. You know I’ve always wanted to do business with you.”Somehow I get the feeling that it's PubCom that he's got issues with, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if a lot of that had to do with stuff that Yossi's dad (and not Yossi herself) did.
“I know. But won’t you get into trouble with your father because of this? I heard he hates my guts.”
“He can’t do anything about it now. It’s not my fault too. I didn’t elect me to be president.”Score one for Ayaya. :rockon:
Does my father know about the two of you being… together?”So dad knows about Yossi "playing for the other team?" And he tried to set her up with Miki? XD
“I don’t know… Well, he did try mentioning you to Mikitty a couple of times right in front of me. If you know what I mean.”
“Good thing you got Kuwagata’s full attention…” Hitomi smiled.
Miki rolled her eyes at the two who were indiscreetly talking about her “… Anyway, can we go ahead to our hotel room? I’m tired.”Miki = :mon exhaust:
“Oh, sure… I sense that you two would go to bed right away.” Hitomi teased Ayaya who blushed.
“Shut up, Yoshizawa!” Miki shouted at Hitomi
“Ayaka, can you drive Ayumi and Rika home? Mai and I have something else to discuss.”Now Shiba-chan and Rika can have that talk. :yep:
“I brought my car with me…” Ayumi suddenly said. “… um… can I drive Rika–chan home?”
.
“Okay, Ayumi, Please drive safely,” Hitomi then turned to Rika “Here is your key to the flat” handing her a key.
Not paying attention to Ayaka, she bade the best friends goodbye “Take care, both of you.” The two nodded and left the room.(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/popcorn.gif)
...
“Well, since you two need some privacy—“
“Ayaka, stay. I need to talk to both you and Mai.”
Mai laughed out loud. “Ayaka… is this what I think it is?”EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~! :tama-laff:
“I don’t know Mai… Yoshiko sure is acting strange talking in gibberish like that.” Ayaka rolled her eyes at Hitomi.
“All right, all right! I might be falling for her.” Hitomi said sounding defeated.
Mai said “My, my… Yoshiko… I’ve never heard you say that before…”Uh-oh. :gmon blonde:
Hitomi just looked down. “Yeah… I know…I’m scared”
Ayaka took Hitomi’s hand “Yoshiko, sit down…”
Hitomi sat down beside Ayaka.
“Are you sure about what you feel about her?”
...
“Yoshiko… you found her with bruises and her clothes torn with a violent man...” Ayaka hinted at a memory only the three of them knew.
Hitomi caught on fast. “No… it’s not that… … … I have to admit she does remind me of Mama sometimes but seeing how hard she tries to keep on smiling just so we wouldn’t worry about her also reminds me that she isn’t Mama… Rika didn’t give up…” Mama did…:hip aww:
“Yoshiko… give yourselves more time.” Ayaka advised her friendDiffering opinions. Why am I not surprised? :banghead:
Mai shook her head “No… I think you should tell her how you feel right away.”
“but Yoshiko… just be sure that you don’t go playing around like before… Rika is also our friend… I wouldn’t want to see her go through what you did to Miki… even if that one wasn’t for real… ”EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH???
Hitomi went defensive “… You guys know I just did that because Miki and I needed a pretext to “break up”… … ”
“Oh!” Mai exclaimed after she suddenly remembered the interesting artifact she found in her office “… speaking of Rika… I found this in my office,” handing Hitomi the folder Rika dropped on the floor the other day.Dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!
Hitomi read the title “Ishikawa CorPrint – Yoshizawa PubCom Merger Ad…?”
“… Yoshiko… Ayumi told us that Rika’s father committed suicide in 2003 when their business crashed… ” Ayaka took the folder from Hitomi’s hands.So Yossi didn't know about this then? Looks like she's going to have to spend a lot of time cleaning up the messes her dad has made.
“… To-san never mentioned this merger to me when he handed me the company… … … … never… … … keep that folder for tonight. Bring it to the office on tomorrow.”
“Will you mention this to Rika?”
“… I seriously don’t know… I wish I won’t have to…”
In the car, Ayumi looked at Rika who was watching the other cars drive by “You wanna hang out at my place before going home?”You know that a car in The Philippines is being driven by someone who's NOT a Filipino if they're actually STOPPED at a red traffic light. (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/giggle.gif)
Rika took out her sketchbook. “Yes, it’s been a long while since we last talked. I really missed you.” She showed Ayumi the message while the traffic light was red. Just to be safe
*RIKA'S MOVING STORY*Hmmmmmmmmmmm...interesting. (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/hmmm.gif)
Ayumi took a serious tone “…but Charmy, if you’re going to fall for that one, be careful… ”Hey, when you're best friends with someone, they learn to read you like a book. :cow:
“Nani?!~”
While walking from the parking lot to the elevator, Hitomi thought of the folder Mai showed her. Why didn’t To-san mention that to me? Ishikawa CorPrint…Rika’s father committed suicide… … She was in the Philippines five years ago… Hitomi’s trail of thought was broken when she bumped into somebody.If he's done some of the things that we're thinking he's done...he'll be lucky Yossi doesn't knock him flat on his ass. :angry:
“I’m sorr-- ” She realized that somebody was in fact her most hated nobody—her father.
“Hicchan, I’ve been waiting for you… I asked the receptionist where your flat was but she wouldn’t tell me. So I decided to wait for you here.” Again, attempting to warm up to his daughter.
“Well, I also did notice that pretty girl seated in Satoda’s van a while ago. Who is she? Is she your friend? Does she work for the company?”It'll be interesting to see how he reacts when he finds out who Rika is (because you know that someone in his position, sooner or later he'll find out).
Hitomi was shocked that his old man noticed Rika. He really has sharp eyes. “She’s nobody you know… and she’s none of your business”
Hitomi proceeded to a room she hasn’t shown Rika yet. She hasn’t used the room for two years. She stepped into the music room and found everything the way she left them the last time she used the room. She approached the baby grand in the middle of the room. Opening it and pressing down on some keys revealed that it was in perfect pitch. Thank Mai for that. Turning away from the piano, she looked at the instrument of her preference. Her violin. She’s had it since forever. She hoped her violin was still okay.Seeing it now brings back a lot of memories from her very distant past..Probably remembering her mom, huh?
The Eyes should have found her by now… Why can’t they find her? … Chimu… We made a promise, remember?OMGASS YOSSI AND RIKA WERE CHILDHOOD FRIENDS?!?!!?!?
“Well, I got the feeling that you and Rika were having such a good time together that you might forget to come to the office today... so I’m just reminding you… go to work…”Yeah...breakfast. :twisted:
“… Really, now…”
“I’m pretty sure she woke up ahead of you again and cooked you up some delicious breakfast like a responsible wife.”
“Well, Yoshiko, you took your time getting here…” Mai crossed her arms. “It took you 25 minutes to get here since we hung up. Now what does that say?”they actually timed her!? lol XD XD XD
“um… that I took 25 minutes to get here from home…?”
“No. It takes only 20 minutes from your house to here, even with heavy traffic. We measured! That means you spent 5 minutes in your house after our call before leaving! You spent 5 minutes saying goodbye to Rika-chan!”
^woah!!! that's a super comment...Actually, it's not that unusual for me. :P
... i hope the bad pinoy drama tune to the fic is a good thing...That depends on how many predictable, overly dramatic plot devices that are WAY too commonly used in Pinoy dramas end up getting used here. :P
"Wala na yung ibang alam na puntahan. Pag nagutom yun, dito pupunta yun!" (She has nowhere else to go. Once she goes hungry, she's bound to come back here) the woman beside him said.
Ayumi sadly said. “The contracts were supposed to be signed January 16. Just in time to save CorPrint from foreclosure… It seems that CorPrint had gambled everything they had into the merger… Uncle Yoichi committed suicide three days later…”
Hitomi’s eyes started to redden with tears. “… January 19… Rika’s birthday... … that BASTARD!!!” Hitomi slammed her fist on the desk.
Ayumi took her hand “… just spend the day with her. Make her happy.”:yep:
Hitomi brought her lips close to Rika’s ear, “I came home very early today so that I can be with you… Rika-chan…” Rika just closed her eyes and breathed in deep as she felt Hitomi’s heart beat against her chest.:luvluv1: :shy2: :nya: :mon inluv: :mon blood: :mon crazyinlove:
hopefully, though highly unlikely, not my last post for today... ishiyoshi interaction...yay! :muffin: :otomerika: :muffin:
Taking a dozen eggs by the carton, Rika opened it and felt the shells of the eggs. Hitomi wished that moment that she was an egg.
Rika took out her sketchpad. “Which do you like the most, breasts, thighs or legs?”
Hitomi’s blo XDod rush to her head and looked at Rika with a naughty smile.
Rika slapped Hitomi’s arm and pointed at the wings.
“I told you, I wanted wings.”
She breathed in deep and opened the room. It was dark so she felt by the wall for a light switch. Rika flipped it on and gasped at what the light revealed to her. It was a big room with a baby grand piano right in the middle. She looked around the room. It was a beautiful room. The walls and the ceiling were lined with special material for acoustics. Rika looked to one side. There was a violin on a stand. Rika examined it closely and remembered a dear friend. Well she can’t really call that person a friend anymore. Rika has forgotten her name. All that Rika remembered was a promise they made and that kawaii name her friend called her.OMGASS I WAS RIGHT!!!
Ayaka handed some of the folders to Hitomi “Ayumi and I studied them before you arrived and we found that since it was opened in 1990 until 2001, CorPrint was doing well financially, actually being able to topple the older, more established Ichii Printers. That was when a new company, PubCom offered a merger to CorPrint. It seems that CorPrint rejected the offer at first. But in 2002, for some reason we still haven’t seen yet, CorPrint seemed to have lost a lot of money. That was when the issue of a merger was raised again. In this board meeting minutes, dated October 2002, the contracts were already being drafted.”Wouldn't surprise me if Yossi's dad was the one that organized the collapse of CorPrint, and then intentionally refused to sign the deal in the end as a type of punishment for not agreeing to the earlier merger. It also would have served as an example to the rest of the industry that PubCom was a force to be reckoned with.
“What happened? Why didn’t the merger push through?”
“The contracts have been finalized. Only one signature was left missing…… …Yoshiko…” Ayaka looked down on the floor not wanting to have to tell Hitomi whose.
“… …Let me guess… my father’s…”
“Yes…”
Hitomi closed her fist tight. “…He planned this… I can feel it… He crushed Ishikawa CorPrint… and nobody saw how it happened…”
“He fucked up Rika’s life even worse than how he did mine!!!” Hitomi cried. “The company that I brought up from almost nothing is the same company that took Rika’s life away from her! I strengthened a company built upon the ashes of Rika’s life!”And what's even worse is that Yossi's dad is still trying to act like he's still the head honcho of the company, even though it's Ken that actually owns it, and Yossi who's actually making the day-to-day decisions to run it.
Mai grabbed Hitomi by the shoulders. “Yoshiko, it wasn’t you. It’s that old man.”
Somewhere in Sampaloc, Manila...Yeah, hopefully these 2 get what's coming to them for doing what they did to Rika.
*snip*
Arriving at the door, she was about to unlock the door when her cellphone rang. It was the Eyes.Hmmm...who was it that the Eyes were assigned to find?
“We got new leads. She is in the Philippines.” the Eyes immediately hung up but Hitomi didn’t care about that now.
Hitomi walked to the discreetly hidden music room. Opening the door, she found Rika playing. She saw Rika smile that way again. That familiar smile.Yossi's familiar with the playing style of Rika's mom? :?
Rika had her eyes closed as she played. Did Rika notice that I’m here? standing at the door? Maybe not. Hitomi smiled to herself seeing that Rika’s memorized the piece. She’s good. She really is a daughter of Ishikawa Yumiko Hitomi thought to herself as she heard several technique variations in Rika’s playing style.
in the Church of the Gesu, Ateneo campus, Quezon City...And people wonder why the Catholic Church is accused so often of corruption. :banghead:
*snip*
“You wanna go out?”They should....um...."conserve water", if you know what I mean. :drool:
Rika stood there thinking about it. It doesn’t matter as long as I’m with you… She just shrugged.
“I’ll take that as a yes. Let me just take a quick shower, okay? We’re going to buy groceries.”
Rika walked off to her room. She was drenched in sweat. I think I need to take a shower too.
Rika walked out to the living room to see Hitomi sitting on the couch, waiting for her. After seeing Hitomi’s shirt, Rika blushed. They were wearing the same color.Awwwwwwwww... :lol:
*In malls in the Philippines, there are security checks on all doors where guards would frisk the customers for bombs and other dangerous weapons.Don't forget that the 7-11's will have security guards wearing full SWAT gear. :yep:
Even the female security guard looked awkwardly at Hitomi but said nothing. After the whole frisking ordeal was done and over with, the two proceeded to the supermarket area.I'd laugh if the female security guard "accidentally" groped Yossi. :rofl:
Moving on, Rika stood by Hitomi somewhat looking afraid and poked at Hitomi’s rib with her elbow.Oh Yossi, guess it's pretty clear where YOUR mind is right now.
“Nani?”
Rika took out her sketchpad. “Which do you like the most, breasts, thighs or legs?”
Hitomi’s blood rush to her head and looked at Rika with a naughty smile. Rika… I didn’t know you—Her thought and blood screeched halt when she read what Rika wrote next “just go to the freezer and get what part of chicken you like.”
“Ang ganda ng girl tapos ang guapo pa nung guy. Parang artista!Oh man, they all still think Yossi's a dude!
Rika continued to walk, increasing her speed, leaving Hitomi behind.Wooo!
“Rika!”
Rika did not slow down. She was smiling to herself, pleased that Hitomi was running after her.
Hitomi sped up even more, finally catching up with Rika. “I really think we look good together…”
Rika suddenly stopped and gave Hitomi a quick peck on the cheek before running out the store and back to the car.
“Hicchan, why are you so good to me?”AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH SHE SAID IT!!!
Hitomi didn’t expect that question coming. She just wrapped her arms around Rika’s shoulders. She felt that she couldn’t keep it a secret anymore. Hitomi closed her eyes and leaned in close to Rika’s ear. “Because…Rika… I love you…”
Ayaka came to the condo early in the morning to sneak in the cooking oil that she forgot to buy for Hitomi the other day. Expecting Rika to be awake this early, Ayaka was surprised to see that the whole flat was dark. She flipped on the switch of the dim lights to see Hitomi and Rika asleep on the couch in an embrace.Ooooooooooh...sneaky Ayaka. Yossi and Rika are gonna kill her if they find out about that.
Aww… Yoshiko… As disrespectful as it really was, Ayaka took out her camera phone out and took a picture of the two. Mai and Ayumi are gonna love this.
Hitomi headed to the bathroom. The warmth of Rika’s skin lingered on hers and she didn’t want to wash it away with her cold shower. Rika’ scent even stuck on Hitomi. She didn’t want to wash that away either. …Aha!... Hitomi suddenly had a great epiphaniy. She snuck into Rika’s bathroom and took her target. She walked back to her bathroom with the same stealth as going into Rika’s. Good thing Rika was busy preparing her another delicious breakfast.Oh, what did Yossi take there? Rika's shampoo, or is Yossi planning on wearing something... "unmentionable" of Rika's when she's done with her shower? :twisted:
“Sugoi! Peach-mango crepe.”:mon love:
Rika laid the bigger plate right in front of Hitomi. Hitomi looked down at her plate. Her eyes widened at the sight of the crepes. “Hey… I can’t eat this…” The whipped cream on top of the crepes read. “I love you too, Hicchan.”
Hitomi arrived late at the office. 8:30. The receptionist greeted her, “Good morning, Yoshizawa-san, some papers came in from Matsuura Motors. They’re on your desk now.”Oh yeah, Miki-sama knows. :yep: 8)
”Thank you.”
Entering her office, Hitomi went straight to her desk to see the contracts signed.
Ayaya kept her word.
On the contract was a small post-it note that read: “Mikitty thinks your personal assistant’s been taking care of you pretty well. She said you look great.”
*YOMIKI HISTORY*Ahhhhhhhhhhhh... I see. But of course their father's were thinking first and foremost about their businesses rather than their children's happiness. :tama-mad:
But of course, he was helpless when Ayaya was elected company president.GAM!!! :cool1:
She just had a meeting with AviCor’s legal committee to present them the contract so they can register the “new” name of Y. AviCor and Matsuura Motors: Y-M AviAnMotoCor (Yoshizawa-Matsuura Aviation And Motors Corporation). How lame…Dang.
She went down to the recording studio in the 11th floor. The recording staff were stunned to see the president. They were recording the back up vocals for Goto Maki’s latest single. It was a joint project with Avex.MAKI-CHAN! :wave:
As Hitomi walked out of the studio, her cellphone rang.Hmmmmmmmmmmm...what does Ayaka have planned? :roll:
“Moshi moshi…”
“…Ayaka… what’s up?”
“We’re going to eat lunch at the cafeteria. Care to join us?”
“Sure, I’m at the 11th floor. I’ll just meet you at the cafeteria.”
... woah... 7 hours ... no comments?!Some of us just need more time to get caught up. :)
gawd... am i losing it?
Just then a 10 year old boy walked out of the house the pair was watching.Don't tell me, let me guess, the kid's got street connections, and one of them spotted Rika with Yossi. :O
An evil grin crept up the woman’s face at the sight of the boy. “May naisip ako…”
*YOSSI TELLS AYAKA, MAI, & AYUMI ABOUT HER AND RIKA CONFESSING*Yossi = :shy1:
“... So, how come you smell like her now? You can’t get that from just eating crepes…” Ayaka and Mai had an evil grin on their faces.C'mon, what is it already? Shampoo...or... something "unmentionable"? :pimp:
“As embarrassing as it may sound…”
“Yes?...” The three rubbed their hands together
“I…”
“Yes…?” The three move in closer.Awww...I was hoping for the something unmentionable. Oh well, this is still cute.
“I stole her soap…”
Laughter broke out on the table.
“What? I know it’s funny that I stole soap but what’s with that laugh?”Yossi = :dunno:
Mai was the first to regain composure of the three. “Well we thought there was another way that you could’ve rubbed her scent on to you…”
A puzzled Hitomi couldn't get their the hint. “What? How?... … … ”
Ayaka stood up and said declaratively “I therefore conclude that the densest matter on earth is Yoshiko…”
“But you, Yoshiko,” Mai pointed a finger at Hitomi’s nose “are a particular type of ‘guy’…”Oooooooooooooooooh...why do I get the worrisome feeling that this part is going to come back to bite someone in the ass? :scared:
“Hey, that’s not true!”
“…yeah… well almost everybody back home thinks so especially Fujimoto’s family, you know?”
“That was fake! I didn’t touch her…”
“Oh, sure… tell that to the bedsprings in that hotel room you guys slept in before graduation…”
“We jumped on that bed…”
“Whatever… we had our stethoscopes on…”
“Hey… guys… Ayumi here might get the wrong idea and tell Rika…”
“So… now you’re scared Rika might find out….”
“Well no… Rika loves me so she trusts me enough…”
Yossi's familiar with the playing style of Rika's mom?
And people wonder why the Catholic Church is accused so often of corruption.
They should....um...."conserve water", if you know what I mean.... i do!!! i'm still thinking if i should go to that direction with this fic... hahaha... CONSERVE WATER!!! :lol:
GAM!!!
actually those "nuns" were undercover agents hiding under the habit... haha... sorry if that got people confused...Maybe, but most people probably wouldn't know that they weren't really nuns. They'd think they were real and...well...yeah...bribes are bad. :rolleyes:
Hitomi finally realized what they meant “… Hey… she’s not that type of girl.”
“But you, Yoshiko,” Mai pointed a finger at Hitomi’s nose “are a particular type of ‘guy’…”
“Hey, that’s not true!”
“…yeah… well almost everybody back home thinks so especially Fujimoto’s family, you know?”
“That was fake! I didn’t touch her…”
“Oh, sure… tell that to the bedsprings in that hotel room you guys slept in before graduation…”
She headed to the bathroom for a quick shower. She has already undressed when she realized her was soap missing.Yossi forgot to put it back? :P
Eh? Where’d it go?
Rika thought of making the shower quick. She was such in a rush that she left the shower curtains open.Oh shit, and Yossi's coming home early too! :twisted:
In fact, Rika was so immersed in her daydream that forgot that she was in a rush and didn’t notice that Hitomi had arrived in the flat with a surprise for her.Ooooooooooooooooooh my this is going to be interesting. O0
Hitomi was surprised that Rika didn’t greet her at the door. After all, she did tell Rika that she would be home in an hour. She looked around the living room and kitchen but Rika wasn’t there.Looks like Rika's not the only one who's going to be getting a surprise today. :twisted:
Hitomi walked in the room, disappointed to see that Rika wasn’t in bed. But she did hear the shower on. At least she knew where Rika was.Evil Yossi = :hip devil:
Rika is in the shower. Hitomi blushed and an internal debate in her head erupted.
Hey… I know what you’re thinking… Don’t… it’s not proper…
Come on… what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her… Go for it…
That’s not what a gentleman’s supposed to do…
To hell with that… come on… just a peek…
Hitomi stealthily walked to the bathroom door.Shut up, Good Yossi!
That’s my Yoshizawa…
NOOOOOOOOO…
She held the door knob tight and gave it a slow and silent twist. She opened it wide enough that she could see the shower but narrow enough not to be noticed. The shower curtains were open. Rika was facing the showerhead so her back was facing Hitomi but that was enough to send a liter of blood into Hitomi’s head, almost erupting out of her nose.Yossi = :mon bleed2:
Her slightly tanned skin, her flawless curves and that cute ass… Is it just me or is it getting hot in here?Considering that Rika's taking a cold shower...it's DEFINITELY Yossi. :wahaha:
Hitomi snapped back to reality when the shower turned silent. Oh, god! She might see me… What should I do?CONSERVE WATER!!! :shakeit: :shakeit: :shakeit:
She held on the knob again and pulled it in, twisting it with the same speed and silence as she had pushed it open and gave the door a loud knock.Pink towel, of course! :wub:
“Rika-chan, are you here?”
Rika answered the door with a pink towel wrapped around her body and a puzzled look on her face.
“I just got home. I got worried when you weren’t in the living room so I thought of looking for you… Well then… Since I found you… I better get dressed for our night out… I also got a surprise for you… so… I’m getting dressed now… I’ll see you in the living room” Hitomi walked out the room with a huge grin on her face. Smooth move, Yoshizawa… she has no idea…Or does she??? :pimp:
Rika went to her closet and looked through the clothes Ayaka bought for her. She did get a lot.Considering that Rika wasn't actually paying for any of it, it's not surprising that she got a little carried away with the shopping. :P
When Rika walked in, Hitomi’s jaw dropped. Her abs are to die for! She almost drooled at the sight plus the image of Rika from the bathroom that’s stuck in her mind.Does Yossi need a bib or something? :P
"On your phone, I’m on speed dial number 1. Ayaka’s on 2, Ayumi’s on 3 and Mai’s on 4. On my phone, you're on number 1.”Oh veeeeeeeeeeeeery smooth there Yossi. :pimp:
Hitomi stepped out of the car. A girl who was in line sighed at the sight of her.They STILL think Yossi's a guy! :rofl:
“Ang guapo naman… ang gara pa ng kotse…” (That’s guy’s so handsome… he even drives a fancy car…)people started talking about Hitomi among themselves, like everywhere else.
“Good evening, Yoshizawa-san, your table is ready. Your companions are already seated.”VIP treatment must be nice. :yep:
“Thank you.”
Considering that Rika wasn't actually paying for any of it, it's not surprising that she got a little carried away with the shopping.
They STILL think Yossi's a guy!
glad to see you commenting, JFC...Trust me, keeping up isn't easy with you posting updates every couple of hours and "real life" getting in the way. :P :on_hot:
While the four were enjoying their cold cuts, one of the owners of the club went to their table.Ah, he's probably got another business other than the club that he wants Yossi to invest in or something. Considering the turnaround that she's done with PubCom, she's most likely a fast-rising star in the business world.
He stood right in front of Hitomi. “Yoshizawa-san… I’m glad that you finally came… I’ve been sending an invitation to you for months…”
“Well, I’ve been busy… this is the first time in a long while that I have time to go out with my friends…” Hitomi hinted that this wasn't the time for business.
“I know you’re out celebrating with your friends right now but I have some friends who would like to meet you…”Yep, the guy's definitely trying to get Yossi to agree to join some venture that he's involved in.
Rika reminded herself to pace herself well and make sure that she doesn’t go overboard. She and Ayumi know well that she gets really noisy when drunk. She might end up speaking to a surprised Hitomi.What a surprise THAT would have been. :lol:
Hitomi was still surrounded by the girls, who turned out to be hopeful models hoping to get a modeling contract with Y fashion. The whole ordeal was annoying. She wanted to spend the night with Rika but here she is, stuck with these girls.Yeah, heaven forbid a business executive like Yossi thinks she should have a personal life. :tama-mad:
Hitomi quickly notices Rika at the bar. She noticed a group of guys at the table looking at Rika like vultures. Hitomi suddenly flared up in jealousy when a guy sat down beside Rika attempting to start a conversation but was relieved when Rika ignored him. Rika suddenly stood up and started to walk away to the dance floor. But the guy seemed persistent.Yeah, a lot of times Pino guys just can't get a clue. (I should know, being a Pino guy. :sweatdrop: )
From where Hitomi was standing, she saw the guy’s expression. He seemed angry for being turned down. He followed Rika as she walked through the crowd.
Hitomi stood up and left the girls, without excusing herself.Go teach him a lesson Yossi! :rockon:
The guy had an evil smirk on his face, having thought of a way to get back at the girl who just turned him down.
He was just about to grab at Rika when a strong hand pulled his arm and twisted it behind his back.Nicely done Yossi. However I wouldn't relax just yet. Pino guys (especially if they're buzzed/drunk) don't react well to being humiliated, especially if it's in front of other people that they know. I'd advise the girls to watch their backs, lest he try something stupidly macho later on.
“You better rethink your plan, buddy… You shouldn’t go messing with her… You see… She’s mine…”
Hitomi quickly let go of the guy’s arm. The guy, grasping his own arm in pain, quickly turned around to see the meddler. At seeing Hitomi’s face, the guy quickly backed away to his companions.
They taunted at his cowardice. “Pare, bakit mo tinakbuhan yun? Sa itsura nun, kayang kaya mo yun!” (Why did you run away from that one? From the looks of that guy, you could’ve easily beaten him.)
“Ulol, S’ya yung bumali sa ilong ko nung isang lingo!” (You’re crazy. He’s that guy who broke my nose the other week!)Oshit it was the same guy from before?!?!? Rika's lucky he didn't recognize her.
The group looked back at Hitomi who was still glaring at them. “Uwian na!!!” (It’s time to go home!!!) The guys on that table left the club in a rush.
Don't watch pinoy dramas... those things will make you go blind... please... and seeing those things will ruin this fic for you... i mean that...Quoted and enlarged for the absolute truth!
Rika and Hitomi went back to their table to join their friends.Proverbially speaking, of course. :roll:
Mai immediately stood up, took Hitomi’s hand and gave it a shake. “You sure have balls, Yoshiko…”
Ayumi saw how confused Rika was, she explained to her friend. “That guy at the bar, her tried to grope at you on the dance floor… Yo-san stopped him.”Duh. What else were they supposed to do?
“Yeah. Yoshiko never fails to get into trouble. You’re lucky that guy backed away. He’s probably someone you’ve beaten up before.” Mai crossed her arms across her chest. “But did you really have to kiss her like that in front of those guys?”
“I had to tell them she was taken…” Hitomi said in a matter-of-factly way. “… wait a minute… … you were watching us?!”
Ayaka didn’t drink much as she was the assigned driver. “Shouldn’t you take her home now? In fact, shouldn’t all we be heading home?”Wonder exactly what Ayaka was referring to here?
Mai placed her hand on Ayaka’s shoulder. “Aww… Mommy Ayaka… worried about our little baby Rika, are we?”
Ayaka gave Mai’s hand a slap. “Mai, we have work tomorrow. Remember Yoshiko, it’s that time of the month again…”
Yoshiko, are you taking Rika to the office tomorrow?”Meet "them"? Who?
“Yeah… I want her to meet them…”
After having lost the resolve to walk to her own room, she laid next to Rika on the bed. Almost automatically, the sleeping Rika turned to her and lazily dangled an arm over her chest. “Hicchan… I love you…”AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
Hitomi’s senses were awakened by the unfamiliar sound of Rika’s voice.
Eh? She’s sleep talking? … It’s probably her subconscious… or just the alcohol in my system.
Oshit it was the same guy from before?!?!? Rika's lucky he didn't recognize her.
The other night, she almost got into a fight with a guy who accused her of hitting on his girlfriend. Actually, it was the girl who hit on her. A fight with a guy tonight wouldn’t be a bad idea… but given her mood right now, she might end up killing a poor fellow.
Wonder exactly what Ayaka was referring to here?
Meet "them"? Who?
The ritual that Yossie had in the bar was just :inlove: Only you can think of that :)
The speed of your posts....whaaa... I can't possibly keep up! though I try really hard, but dang like two forum pages have pass since I've last read.
“And that head on her shoulder is the only thing that can cool her down!”
^ *Lol, you got all mushy there after reading your own fic... **Now you know what you've been doing to us and why we are all so addicted And I agree with you about how amazing this Yossy is and how hard it is to find someone like her... Lets hope we all do someday
***That last update was AMAZING! Everything we have been waiting to hear from them (besides the couple thing), finally comes out and in such a powerful way too. I kinda wish Rika could be pregnant, that would be really really sweet to see Yocchan be supportive through it... Plus it would surely add more to the story, extending it for even longer
I like talking Rika
Finally, we love you too but ****your meant to be off having fun not worrying about filling us with sugary goodness... We can wait so you can enjoy yourself! *hugs*
Maybe from now on, they can 'runaway from the past' together towards a shared future
shit, but she might be pregnant even if he didn't really rape her......
But I don't see how she could be pregnant since the doctor said she'd never had sexual intercourse. Maybe she's just late. ...
You're right tru_harmony I would love to find a guy like that *sigh*
Finally, we love you too but your meant to be off having fun not worrying about filling us with sugary goodness... We can wait so you can enjoy yourself! *hugs*
But it's something that gives me a bad premonition. Rika... with some guys... back then... ?... i can't say...
pretty girl like that, athletic and such, must've been fighting them off with a stick!... a big stick at that! :lol:
Hitomi took Rika in her arms. “I want to know… … if I’m going to be a to-san soon…” Actually, although she did want to know, Hitomi really just wanted to let Rika know that he wasn’t able to rape her. Best way to do so, get an expert to tell her.
yes if others found out about to-chan...Yossui would never hear the end of it
So really "mahal kita" is a lot more 'powerful' than "I love you" as it's so specific for that one, singular person?
Awww, that Ka-chan and To-chan, derived from Rika-chan and Hitomi-chan yet having even more special meaning is incredibly sweet (and witty of you)
The look of discomfort on the boy brought a smile to the woman’s face. “Ikaw talagang bata ka. Nami-miss mo na, no? Aakyatin mo ba ng ligaw?” (You’re such a kid. You miss her, don’t you? Are you planning to court her?)
“Tita, wag ka naman ganyan.” (Tita, don’t say things like that.)
“Bakit namumula ka dyan? Umamin ka na, Joseph.” (Why are you blushing? Admit it, Joseph.)
“Sabi kasi nya… magkaibigan lang kami…” (Because she said… we’re just friends…)
“E di ba, doon nagsisimula ang mga relasyon?” (Relationships start as friendships, don’t they?)
“Siguro po…” (Maybe…)A hopeful smile crept up Joseph's face.
The two parted to their own rooms to bathe.Why bother? :lol:
She put on her undergarments and wrapped her towel around her waist before answering.Why bother? :P
Why bother?
“To-chan… let me…” She took the ring from Hitomi’s hand. Rika took Hitomi’s other hand and put the on her finger. If wearing this ring means that I’ll be yours… “I hope you’ll wear yours all the time... … I’ll wear mine forever…” Be mine forever.*Play Aya's Dearest* Forever..I hope this doesn't change after the appointment. No, it shouldn't. :)
Hitomi faced Rika and took her left hand. “I know you’re not comfortable coming here. It’s scary, people might judge you for coming in single. That’s why I got you this. Wear that… even just for today… I had my name engraved in that… and the date that I found you… Let me be yours… even just for today… ”
Name: (last name, first name, m.i.) Yoshizawa Rika I.
Civil Status: Married
Name of Spouse: Yoshizawa Tomi
Hitomi had Rika sit on her lap. “Why did you take long? I missed you, Mrs. Yoshizawa…”
“To-chan!” The two laughed together and kissed right in front of the other patients who finally noticed their rings
“Well, there hasn’t been a full penile penetration. In layman’s terms, you are still technically a virgin, dear… Although pregnancy still is possible in that circumstance, you will have to wait for the test results. An aide here broke my ultrasound… so you’d really have to wait for the test results…”
‘Text message received’ it said. Although she knew it was in all likelihood Hitomi’s she checked the message. It was from Ayaka. “Yoshiko, remember to wake up early. You have a video conference.”Hope Yossi has a good cure for hiding hangovers.
“Let’s just grab something for Starbucks. I can’t be late for this video conference.”THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE CONSERVING WATER!!!
Rika quickly nodded and headed to the shower. Hitomi ran out to her own bathroom and took a shower as well. The two finished about the same time and met in the living room. Hitomi and Rika were smartly dressed in corporate black and white.
*VIDEO CONFERENCE WITH KEN AND SEITO*They're...younger then her? Must be a male-chauvanist thing that lead Ken to becoming the owner of the business instead of Yossi. In any case, it looks like all the Yoshizawa kids have good heads on thier shoulders. As long as they practice honest business PubCom should do really, really well.
“I’m just training you for what’s to come. Next year you’ll turn twenty—Their MOM's will??? :o This, I have to say, IS a bit of a surprise. So like, what's to happen to Yossi when Ken takes over? Does she get to stay in the company?
Ken quickly butted in “and I’ll have to be president of Yoshizawa group. I know. But does that really have to happen? I mean, you’re handling the company well… And I know I’m just going to mess it up…”
Hitomi breathed in deep. “Ken… we’ve talked about this before…”
“I know it’s in Mama’s will that I take over the company at twenty… but… I’m not ready…”
“I managed to pull it off…”
“Hito-chan… there are so many things I want to do… and going into business isn’t one of those things…”If he really wants to go out and do other stuff, Ken could always just take over when he turns 20, then immediately issue an order saying that he's transferring control over to Yossi. At least then dad wouldn't get it.
*YOSSI-JIN CONVO*Jin probably wasn't around that much, and if he was he probably wasn't that good of a father, which resulted in Yossi having to grow up quickly so she could take care of her brothers.
Jin slowly walked out of the office with a smirk. “That girl sure is pretty… be careful, Hicchan…”Oh crap, he found out stuff about her, didn't he? :O
Rika was scared. Hitomi was angry like that time they came home separately from the meeting with Ayaya. Also, she didn’t like the tone in how Hitomi’s father spoke. As if he had something planned for them.
“Paano kung mamatay yung bata?” (What if the kid dies?)WTF, they're going to hold some kid ransom or something??? :shocked:
“Kung mamamatay yan, malamang lamang, lalabas yan sa TV. Mamatay man o hindi, sa gagawin MO, malalabas at malalabas sa TV yan.” (If he dies, most likely, they’ll show it on TV. Whether he lives or dies, with what YOU’RE going to do, they’ll surely show it on TV)
“Tita, wala ka bang balita kay Rika? Magdadalawang linggo na siyang hindi umuuwi dito a…” (Tita, any word from Rika? She hasn’t come home here for almost two weeks…) an anxious boy stood outside the small sari-sari store.Ooooooooooooooooooh...so it's a kid that Rika knows (and he has a crush on her, no less). They going to use him to force Rika to come back?
Hitomi placed the items back where she got them and wrapped her arms around Rika.No mistaking it here, Yossi definitely heard Rika speak. :cry:
“Hicchan…I love you… so much… …” Rika said, muffled against Hitomi’s shoulder.
“Do you want me to get back at him? … I can do that for you… Even without leaving this room…”The Eyes...they do more than just see things. And while I don't normally advocate violence against people, someone as low as a rapist is worth making an exception for.
“No… … it’s been more than a month… ... ... ... ... and I haven’t had my period yet…”:badluck:
That struck Hitomi. She got what Rika meant and understood why Rika is scared. “I had you taken to the hospital, remember? They didn’t say anything about it…”
Rika looked at Hitomi. “… … … Hicchan… ”
“Bit if you want… you can see the doctor again…”
Hitomi sadly smiled. “For a while, you reminded me so much of Mama… but there was one thing where you two differed… you cried out for help…” Hitomi gently touched Rika’s lips with her fingers. “She didn’t… she didn’t call for my father… she begged her rapist to kill her… he stabbed her to death… right in front of me… she gave up on life and on me... … Rika... please... ... don’t give up… ”:mon wtf:
"... Shark... I think we should tell the captain..." A girl was pacing in the Eyes' temporary headquarters.The Eyes are girls? Names please?
"Why should we tell her?! ... it's totally baseless..."Why do I get the feeling that these photos have something to deal with what Jin did to Rika's dad's company?
"... we found photos in the old files!!!"
"Photos that could really mean nothing!"
"Shark, it would be best for us to tell the captain. She deserves to know!"
Rika laughed thinking about Hitomi’s facial expression in those awkward moments. “But… there’s one sentence that I really want you to learn…”EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
“What?”
Rika tried her best to keep her Japanese accent away from her favorite Filipino sentence. “Mahal kita”
“Mahal kita?” Hitomi had the stresses wrong but Rika smiled at her attempt.EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
“That means ‘I love you’ in Tagalog. I want you to remember that one.”
Hitomi sat up straight held Rika’s hand and looked her in the eye. “Rika-chan, Mahal kita.”
“… Must we really go?” Rika was hesitant.Indeed, one way or the other, it's better that they find out.
“Don’t you want to know?”
“… … I’m not sure…”
Hitomi took Rika in her arms. “I want to know… … if I’m going to be a to-san soon…” Actually, although she did want to know, Hitomi really just wanted to let Rika know that he wasn’t able to rape her. Best way to do so, get an expert to tell her.
“Sige po… Magandang gabi po, salamat…” (Okay… Good night, thank you) Joseph walked away from the house holding a bouquet of flowers, crestfallen.Oh, don't tell me they're going to use the kid (because he has a crush on her) to find Rika for them?
The two parted to their own rooms to bathe.CONSERVE...
Rika blushed at the partial sight of Hitomi’s body. “Um… ano… can I use your bathroom? I don’t feel like using my bathroom today.” That does not look like you gained 5 pounds.Rika = :shy1:
“Sure… I just finished using it. Go ahead.” Damn. Why do I bathe so quickly? Hitomi mentally slapped herself. “I’ll be right here... outside the bathroom... if you need anything…”
One of the bars of soap was the same as what Rika had been using. She smiled to herself. Oh, we like the same scent. She still had no idea of the soap stealing incident.:hee:
Why didn’t I bring clothes along? Rika emerged from the bathroom wrapped in her pink towel.Rika = :shakeit:
Hitomi was sitting on the bed, reading the latest issue of Business World when Rika excused herself and sped back to her own room. Rika walked by so fast that she wasn't even able to get a clear view of Rika's legs, but the image stuck in her mind from the other day would suffice for now.
On hers write To-chan and on mine, write Ka-chan.YOSSI'S BUYING THEM MATCHING RINGS! :inlove:
*YOSSI'S STORY ABOUT JIN*A-ha. Naruhodo.
school sucks... if we (tito and I) don't post for a while, please, don't kill us... it's our schools... ...Do you guys like, know each other outside of the forum? :P
Hitomi took the form and started filling up the blanks in Rika’s behalf:Oh, VERY smart move Yossi. The Filipino medical system isn't exactly the best, to say the least. Regrettably people are treated differently based on their status and how they're perceived. Getting the rings, signing in as a married couple (hell, it's not like the hospital will be looking to verify their story), and making sure everyone heard her story about how they were trying to have a child should help smooth things over and make things easier for them with the hospital authorities.
Hitomi placed her hands on her waist “… am I good, or what?”The fact that Kaori's the doctor is a bonus. :rockon:
“What got you through all that is the fact that you look like a man…”
“Aww… Iida-sensei, don’t ruin my moment of glory…”
Well, there hasn’t been a full penile penetration. In layman’s terms, you are still technically a virgin, dear.Yay! I think?
“Yes… the papers will disappear from this clinic faster than you can drive your Z4.”And Kaori knows this...how? :cow:
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE CONSERVING WATER!!!... they will... soon... really....
The Eyes are girls? Names please?
Do you guys like, know each other outside of the forum?
The fact that Kaori's the doctor is a bonus.
OMG their married?!?!?!?!!
eh.. ok fine technically.. their not.. but still haaa~!!
one more thing... why do you update so fast?!
no... we just know that both of us are attending school now... i would love to know you guys outside of the forum though..Me too :oops: :wub:
Yes please keep writing to distract me from a traumatizing experience that I want to forget! :fainted:
^... okay... ... this is THE LAST... i mean it now... as in REALLY...
sadly, still no updates... no eye blinding inspiration appearing here...
*AYAKA, MAI, AND SHIBA-CHAN MAKING YOSSI MAKE "THE ANNOUNCEMENT"*:lol:
“Now that you’re a couple, there may be things that you should know about each other… things that you would not be comfortable to talk about… so… as your friends… we have decided to be your spokeswomen!”Huh? :hip blink:
“Try to stop us, Yoshiko… Hold on to your seat, Rika-chan…” The two pushed the seat Rika was sitting on like a cart, taking her out of Hitomi’s office and into Ayaka’s.Rika = :dunno:
Hitomi was just about to stand up to follow them when Ayumi stood in her path. “Yo-san, by my agreement to Mai and Ayaka, I need to keep you here… and as Rika’s friend, I want to talk to you…”Shiba-chan's going to take on the "parental" role for Rika and have "that talk" with the suitor who wants to date her? O0
Hitomi resigned. “Alright…”
“Yo-san, you might need to know this: you are her first “boy”friend but she has been engaged before…”EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!?
Hitomi froze. Rika, engaged?
“Do not worry about it as the family of her fiancé called it off…”Did this happen before or after the business went under?
“Who was the guy she was supposed to marry?”Oh come on...:err:
“It might come as a shock to you... or maybe not... a person as high in esteem as you could only have a predecessor from the same level... ... Former Prime Minister Koizumi Junichiro-san’s son, Kotaro… He and Rika were childhood friends… We grew up in the same town… I was never really friends with him… I only see him when he’s with Rika…”
“Why was the engagement called off?”So then, they were paired up by their parents more for business/political reasons instead of doing the BF/GF rabu-rabu thing?
“One: Rika disappeared from Japan, and they did not bother to find her because of reason number two: Ishikawa family was deeply in debt…and three: Rika stopped seeing him after her father died. Because Kotaro’s family was helpless when CorPrint started falling apart despite his father's position in government. The former prime minister wanted to keep their private life and their public life apart, which is really ironic considering the fact that they were made to date each other for business and political purposes.”
the difference between Rika and you is that Rika almost gave in to the arrangement… You are lucky that Matsuura-san was there… Less guilt on your part… Fujimoto-san had somebody else… But Rika… she almost genuinely fell for the guy… but he failed her… Yo-san… don’t fail Rika… please… she doesn’t deserve that… she deserves to be happy...”Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit that sucks. Poor Rika. He never really cared for her the way she did for him. :cry:
YESSSS! Rika will make Yossy come home every night and they will........ Anyway, I'm sure she'll get Yossy rested up. Or not.... Sorry, I feel like making everything about sex!
“Yoshiko’s life isn’t as simple as any other person’s life.” Mai leaned in a bit closer to Rika, establishing eye contact with her.Uh...girls...you might want to lay off the dramatics a little. You're gonna freak her out. :O
“I know…”
“Are you ready to be the most important person in that complicated life?”
The most important person… Rika was silent.
You matter most to her right now…”Okay...again with the possibly freaking Rika out.
“And she means the world to me…”
Ayaka took both of Rika's hands “And to us as well… that is why we want to know if you’re willing to give up everything for her…”
“First, there are times that she does not come home at all and spend the whole night in the office. These past weeks, she became a bit lax about doing overtime work because she wants to spend time with you. But before, she even sleeps in the office… sometimes, she doesn’t even sleep…”Well, until the two of them met, it's not like Yossi's life was exactly joyous. I mean, sure she had Mai and Ayaka and her brothers (though it was from long-distance for the latter), but even if you include them her entire life has revolved in one way or another to her work. She's had no reason to completely leave the office behind.
...
Ayaka squeezed Rika's hands. “That’s exactly what we expected to hear from you… but really… what we want you to do is to make her come home to you every night… make her rest… she needs rest… what she has done for this company cost her three years of sleepless nights…”
Rika was a bit surprised at Ayaka’s request.
“We know it is strange for us to ask this from you… but... you’re the only one who’s makes her want to come home like that...”
“Second, there is a group of who are working for Yoshiko outside the company. They are called the Eyes. We don’t know who they really are and how Yoshiko found them. It seems that she’s the only one who knows. They are the best team out there. Almost every businessman and politician has them on speed dial but they don’t know that the Eyes work for Yoshiko. Rika-chan, we want you to be careful…”So then, Yossi didn't actually create/form The Eyes? They were a group already in existence and Yossi just found out about them? By the sounds of what Mai and Ayaka just said, it looks like perhaps they have and show a bit more respect for Yossi than they do the other people that employ their services, but at the end of the day, they're pretty much a mercenary group-for-hire.
...
Mai walked back to the chair beside Ayaka but did not sit down. “They do not work for Yoshiko alone. They are known as an independent agency. Sometimes, they are paid to spy on Yoshiko, herself. Although they usually give her a heads up and sometimes they even plot with her against her enemies, but if the price is right, the best they can do is to stall their client and warn Yoshiko.
We fear that you might become a target as well… especially by Uncle Jin.”This is indeed a concern, especially if Jin gives The Eyes some story about Rika being a suspicious character who's trying to dupe Yossi. If he can convince them that Yossi's having the wool pulled over her eyes, then they likely won't let her in on what they're doing and just report to Jin.
... i laughed so hard after reading this that i almost choked on candy... but... don't feel bad about it... every now and then i contemplate whether i should write a scene with them having sex...If you do, you'll have to put it in the "Perv Fiction" section of the Forum and just link to it from here. "Explicit scenes" aren't really supposed to be put here in the "regular" fic section.
Hitomi stood up from her seat. She turned away from Ayumi and walked towards the glass wall. She looked down at the city. She felt tears come to her eyes like waves. Quick, intense, painful—it felt like salt on her eyes.:cry:
My empire built on the ashes of Rika’s life…
“Look into the debts of Rika’s father…”Holy shit, that's huge. :shocked:
“I already have… the banks have taken all property under Ishikawa Yoichi-san’s name. That includes their home in Kanagawa, jewelry stored in safety deposit boxes, all bank accounts… but there’s still twenty million yen in balance, and has accumulated an interest of about two-hundred and forty thousand yen.”
i hope to "hear" :wriggly: :luvluv1: :cool1: :stuffed: :mon cry: :gmon shy: :gmon sweet: :gmon love: :gmon love2: :gmon hot: :gmon flowers: from all of youThe Yukari smileys addiction is spreading... :wub:
This is really sad... :cry:
My empire built on the ashes of Rika’s life…
“Business is not the place for her… business made the people she loves leave her… despite that, she chose to love again… in a rather insane way, she chose to love you… even if your life is too dangerous for her… and I think by now, she knows that… don’t you dare waste her love… I didn’t look for her for 3 years only to find her heart-broken again…”Exactly. :D
“Are we… … um…”
Rika knew where this was heading but Hitomi looked so cute thinking of the right words. “Are we…?
“ano… …Are we together, together? As in… like… together?”
Rika giggled at seeing how awkward it was for Hitomi to be saying that. “We are if you want us to be...”
Can't wait for the big engagement ceremony and the big wedding and ....waaaait!~ This IS the Phili's so I don't think they could....
So then, Yossi didn't actually create/form The Eyes? They were a group already in existence and Yossi just found out about them? By the sounds of what Mai and Ayaka just said, it looks like perhaps they have and show a bit more respect for Yossi than they do the other people that employ their services, but at the end of the day, they're pretty much a mercenary group-for-hire.
Holy shit, that's huge.
I love how wise Shiba-chan seems in comparison to Ayaka and Mai who are serious sometimes but mostly joking around and crazy! Not that their advice isn't always good.
they SHOULD conserve water my vote was the eh what thing because I didn't know, can I change my answer?
I'm writing fast, eh? whenever this speed writing and cannot-catch-up issue is brought up, there's a song playing in my head. Shit, I still can't figure which song it is..
I'm glad you were amused by my sex post. I'd be cool if you wrote about them having sex but don't force it. If you're not comfortable, don't do it.
While it's nice that Yossi wants to make amends for the part that Jin played in sinking CorPrint, Shiba-chan's right, Rika wouldn't want Yossi to make such a sacrifice to do it. She doesn't want to be a charity case.
Though Yossie just wants to help Rika in every way and any way, I doubt Rika is interested in that business anymore. She'll be happier off with Yossi. Hopefully this is the last time Yossi brings up this issue.
Yeah, I don't think Yossy should pay the debt. I mean, I doesn't seem to be put on Rika so she's okay. Yossy just needs to take care of her and love her.
Seven? Hicchan said she was thirteen when she began drawing…Who is lying? :?
Also there are formalities to be taken care of…”
I still think that there is more to Yoshi and Miki's relationship than just what they had mentioned. I mean, Mai is holding something back I think.
Who is lying?
I still think that there is more to Yoshi and Miki's relationship than just what they had mentioned. I mean, Mai is holding something back I think.
I did mention I was hooked right? ... I wonder if there is a rehab that I can enter after you finish your fic? hehehe
Why do I have this odd feeling that Yossy's father was the main reason those things happened.i think you're not the only one with that odd feeling...
Yeah, like they eventually liked each other but there's a but thing
But together, they will help each other heal, right?
Rika's video conference with Ken and Wei was so touching!
“I won’t let her fall apart…”Sweet..but I feel that something bad is about to happen soon to test their love.. :(
But it seems everyone is on a updating spree lately :o
“I won’t let her fall apart…”
“Yoshiko’s relationship with her father is really strange… even for Mai and me.”Seems pretty obvious that the only reason why he "loves" her now is because she's running the company and he wants in on it. Yossi undoubtedly realizes this and sees that her father really just looks out for himself. Oh, and the whole thing concerning her mom's killer causes some resentment too.
Mai elaborated Ayaka’s point as if they were communicating telepathically. “They seem to have a love-hate relationship. He seems to love her but she hates him… When we were way younger it was the other way around. He was cold and very demanding of her. Yoshiko did everything to please her father. He wanted his eldest child to be a son. She became that son. They fished together, went hiking together, they even played a piece in an event together. She plays the violin and he plays the cello. ”
“Everything was more or less a stable indifference-driven relationship between them after that until she was thirteen and they found auntie’s will.”I wonder why the will wasn't found until so much later? One would think that Yossi's mom would have left it with her lawyer and that he/she would have made the family known about it ASAP (unless of course, it was her specific instructions to her lawyer to wait).
“Uncle Jin was stunned… it was either because he didn’t expect such will to exist or because she made an early termination of his role as company president. She left Yoshiko to take charge when she’s the right age.”
*YOSSI-MIKI STORY*So Yossi and Miki knew all along what their parents were trying to do, right? Did they know each other before the attempt to pair them up?
Ayaka walked to her desk. She turned the LCD screen and webcam of her computer towards Rika. “Ken-san, is the line clear?”Osnap, does Ken even know about his father's scheming? Does he know the type of stuff that Jin has done?
“Yes, Ayaka-san. Thank you… Good day, onee-Rika-san.”
“Good day, Ken-san…”
“I was emailed by Ayaka-san about half an hour ago about you and Hito-chan. I am happy for you two… it is pretty exciting that I have an elder sister now” Ayaka and Mai broke out into laughter and Rika simply smiled.Man, even Ken sees Yossi as a dude. :lol:
“Ah… also, someone here wants to meet you…” Ken briefly left the camera’s scope and returned with an old man. “Rika-chan, this is Hito-chan’s personal butler when she was still here in Japan, Wei. His family has served Ka-san’s family for four generations”Something tells me Wei was more of a father-type figure to Yossi when she was growing up than Jin was.
Mistress Rika, please serve the young master home made soba during rainy days…”Hopefully Yossi just thinks that it's a coincidence and doesn't get overly suspicious when she does this. :P
Soba on rainy days… “All right…”
“Thank you, onee-chan… for making our Hito-chan happy…”Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww... :oops:
“You’re welcome… and thank you for accepting me… Now, go to class… or else, I will tell on you…”
“Hai, onee-chan.”
Rika was feeling very giddy. It was the very first time she was called “onee”. Sure, in the Philippines, Mike and Jr, Tita Eula’s kid, call her “ate” all the timeUh-oh...that's the kid that has the crush on Rika, isn't it? :O
A sudden soft knock on the office door joined Rika’s voice in filling the silence of the room. “Ayaka?” It was Hitomi. “Ayumi and I are here… … outside… sitting around… with nothing to do… … … just open the door when you are through… okay?”:mon sweat:
We miss your 5 posts a day too :lol:Well, you could always take your 5 smaller posts and just combine them into one longer post. That way, same amount of update, but done all at once instead of multiple times. It would definitely make it easier to keep up with. :D
Sweet..but I feel that something bad is about to happen soon to test their love
of course something bad will happen soon,
I know our little author here isn't about to kill her IshiYoshi off
But it seems everyone is on a updating spree lately
that's the spirit, Go Rika
Well, you could always take your 5 smaller posts and just combine them into one longer post. That way, same amount of update, but done all at once instead of multiple times. It would definitely make it easier to keep up with.

Man, even Ken sees Yossi as a dude.

Uh-oh...that's the kid that has the crush on Rika, isn't it?
Hitomi leaned in close to Rika and kissed her ear. After the lithe kiss, she whispered to her Ka-chan. “Rika-chan~ time for us to come home~”
feel like one of the few "Go Rika" type of fic writers left in the world... please, even in this fic, people, please cheer her on...
Shiba-channn! Hella funny! I can feel something is gonna happen....the suspense is killing meeee!!!!
like time for conserving water.?.
will until the end, in this fic, that's for sure, unless there's a major twist... which is unlikely to happen since you're an Ishiyoshi shipper
... is that a challenge?
Haha...the eavesdropping part is so funny! *Visualise Yossi eavesdropping and being discovered*
The latest update I still can't quite understand..who is the Third?
I've a feeling the guy they are talking about is Jin.....
maybe I have watched too much olden days chinese dramas these days but can the Third be Rika?
More Ishiyoshi rabu-rabu!
no comment, where's the whistling emoticon
16 years ago hmmm... that could be from the time of the rape and I'm still confused with the Eyes
omg, I think I have it now!
Her dad ordered them to look into Rika
but they basically said "Stuff that" and went on.
Yochan had them look for the people that kidnaped Rika and is having them find those people so that she could hurt them....or make them apologise
hhmmm I might make that into a story...that would be soooo cooooooooooooooooooool! KAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
keep up the awesomeness!
not that important comment but thought I should say found it before I leave
But why do I have a feeling Jin's about to pop up somwhere out of the blue and fuck up their day?
what?
She looked out Rika's window and noticed the driver of the truck next to them waving at Rika. Rika was pretty disturbed. Even after five years of living here, she just couldn't get used to those types of people.
YEY ERI!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!! <3<3<3
I wonder though, is she an eye or is she just working in her company? She seems like an eye because of all the gadgets but the thing is, she doesn't seem like one too ya know?
Anyway, yey you mentioned my post! and yey you updated! And yey you updated with rabu rabu! Also I miss GAM! Can they have an encore? Like a lil going away party or maybe they could come back for the marriage ceremony? lol, I think that if its somehting personal Miki will definitely come back but if it is something professional Aya will definitely be back.
I hope to see more MM members! I am dying for some older Zawa loveliness!
flips and the not so good behavior
Yocchan really should stop being culturally ignorant and learn a bit more of their language, even if she doesn't need to use it much where she is
Whoa, Kame's in this too!?
Awww (so I haven't posted here in a long time)
but these last chapters have been so cute
“What?” I don’t even know your real name. And the captain never called me by my name… except when she recruited me… This is so unfair. I bet Third has it even better. I should’ve answered the phone. Damn. I need to talk to the Way about this.
Cracked me up! Someone seems a little jealous of our Kame!
uuuuu i'm back too
mauajjajaja poor eri, i wonder who is the other eyes (i figured she could be sayu or gaki) and third
so sweet ishiyoshi here~~ and yossy is so possesive, jujuju groping rika, i laughed a lot when i read that
*off topic* i read some pages ago... "The Yukari smileys addiction is spreading"...
I love how you write IshiYoshi (says the YoMiki shipper...)QFT... Same for me :D
hey it's my first time posting here
the 1st non GAM fic I read hahahah
More ishiyoshi mushy mushy! It's like 2 extremely different people meeting and then falling in love and then realising that they have much more similarities than differences
The Earth is dying...save water for next generation
I did vote for this earlier but now I'm really hoping on the bandwagon WATER CONSERVATION TO SAVE THE PLANET!!!
I think it's almost time to watch sunrise together right?!!
"It is beautiful because I am here watching it with you...":cry: :cry: Bad tru, make me teary after dinner..you will pay for it! :lol:
"... yeah... it is the best sunset i've ever watched... ... ... To-chan... can we leave our pasts with the sun?"
"Hm? why?"
"Because that way, when the sun sets, it will take our past with it and take it somewhere else... maybe our pasts won't find their way back to us..."
Rika... "Okay... I'm sending off with the sun my past..." Hitomi held Rika tighter as if she might disappear with her past into the setting sun. What matters now is my future with you...
Farewell Kotaro, To-san, CorPrint, Auntie Mayumi, Tito Dan... Rika closed her eyes to keep her tears from falling... in a few minutes, all those who have brought her to tears will be gone from her life. Hopefully tomorrow, the sun would have burned out all the painful memories from their past.
Pretend not to be a foreigner… … … How on earth am I supposed to do that?!?!
She partially cringed and gave Hitomi a look as she stood up. That man touched my butt.
Hitomi gave the man a bigger grin when she held Rika with her free arm and her hand rested on Rika’s butt. That’s off limits to you, buddy…”
The conductor walked through what’s walkable on the aisle, collecting fares. Rika had her face buried in the crook of Hitomi’s shoulder of and pretended to not notice. The conductor approached them and asked. “Saan po kayo?”
"It is beautiful because I am here watching it with you..."

I hate this Rika, she is a freakin wimp.
There's not enough Miki and NO YUKO yet, and the pimp be not pimpin if you catch me drift
dunno why but I just don't like this Rika..... she seems oddly artificial. I dunno. It's like, after all this shit she still isn't a bitch and instead is all mousy.
If I were her, I'd tell Yoshi the address of the ppl that hurt me and have her womp their asses.
Also, seeing Miki and Aya and Yoshi in the same room, Rika should be a jealous bitch
She passed a ticket to Hitomi. "Here... let's head home..."
"To not forget that the person I'm in love with isn't just Hicchan... or To-chan... or just Yoshiko or Hito-chan... That I love you for you... I love the whole Yoshizawa Hitomi..."
"Some people, they get so used to nicknames and that ideal person in that nickname that they forget who the real person behind the name is... like when couples get married and have kids and they get called Mama and Papa all the time... and they call each other Mama and Papa to teach the kids... they forget that they're not just Mama and Papa... they forget who they were and how they love each other before becoming Mama and Papa..."
That's probably why Rika's eyes had that sparkle, hope shone in contrast with the darkness left by despair, fear and uncertainty.
they always think that Yossy is a man
i like how you describe some situations
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (i really yell that when i do my updates at home)That's awesome! XD
I really enjoy the way you illustrate the 2 of them.
It's as though nothing said/done can affect them because of the mutual trust and love.
But if Miki can appear more often, that will be wow..Oh well, I just want to see what Miki and Yossi talk about because of their rather peculiar relationship.
Anyway, Jin doesn't sound like someone of high position or all with his childish actions and comments. He just sounds like an asshole beggar! (Nothing against you but I'm against him )
Oh, I almost forgot about the needle. Will that be the fatal object that breaks the bubble?
I hope you can write soon what happened between ishiyoshi after her dad left.
Hitomi did not answer her. Even though she wanted to say ‘yes, it’s over’ or something along that line, something kept her from speaking. She didn’t know what.Maybe I am just been skeptical..this ^ gives me a bad feeling though..(is that an indication that the needle will be out soon?) :D
Rika did not know what to make of Hitomi’s silence. Was it because she was just intently listening to Rika, waiting for what Rika has to say? Or is because it wasn’t really over? Or maybe because it wouldn’t be proper to speak of their pasts like that. Rika sighed deeply hoping that the reason was the lattermost. “She’s a part of you already and I can’t make you take her out of your life completely. I love you for who you are now and she’s a part of that. I know who I am and although I don’t really know who she is, I know I’ll never be a substitute for anyone…”

Rika took out her cellphone, pressed the number 2 and the call button. Because Hitomi didn't answer the question.
2 is Ayaka right? Oh damn, are we having a second set of FYI in here?
Why can't Yossi just answer the question????
Her past with Miki wasn’t exactly pleasant and she didn’t like talking about it—she didn’t even like thinking about it.
can I say awww too.?. awww there you go... and very optimistic, go Rika
and not so optimistic, okay maybe I'd do the same if my rabu-rabu would not give an answer too
Hitomi pulled up the sheets and tucked Rika in bed. She looked down lovingly at the sleeping Rika and bent low to kiss Rika on the lips. The kiss was soft and gentle. The princess didn't wake up from the kiss of the handsome prince. They must be characters from a different story.Goodness gracious..is that a sense of foreboding that something bad will happen? Hey, I don't believe you!! Now you will say you invented a pin a while ago or something like Albert Einstein!
It seems the sun wasn't able to carry everything it had to yesterday. Maybe, she had too much past to send away with the sun that the sun couldn't carry it all.Hmm... ;) Hopefully the moon can do the job.
Ahaha! Sayu! Of course she's a model-turned-entrepenuer (sp?) That's so perfect! :P
That sounds so Mikitty like to say such things ;) Ok, so it is a head fight now. FIGHTO!!!!!!
i want a update~~ :mon psst:
"Miki?"This cracks me up for some reason. Yomiki FTW! Where is Yukari? :roll:
"That's Fujimoto for you, Yoshizawa."
first... I'M HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
now... (XD) mmm mauajaja really i laughed a lot with that yomiki interaction :mon XD:
miki is such sincere :mon lmao: mauajajajja yossy is a ----, she cheated on miki :mon butt:
"You never had me."
finally... rika is so cute~~ (even if i'm not a rika fan at all, i said it) :mon innocent:
now... i go to sleep, my school isn't on strike now... so i have to wake up early again :mon wakey:
i want a update~~ so tomorrow i'll arrive and read it~~ :mon evillaff:
In the midst of studying, this is the best thing to do - read RFP. :muffin: To be able to love this selflessly is great just that it sometimes indicates danger and yes, I think I smell the pin. The stinky yet aromatic metal smell. You mentioned about the punching before? *tito reads earlier chap* oh yeah..BUT I STILL WANNA A FLASHBACK SCENE!! It's not an everyday thing for Aya to punch Yossi.
*sigh* this place is moving pretty slowly *yawn* time to get back to study. ;) Hopefully you can come up with an update tonight or tomorrow :)
... yeah... *sigh* ... how come the author's not updated yet? ... ... ... ... ... ... wait a minute... ... ... this IS RFP... whoops...This is so funny :rofl: I miss updating a lot as well..2 more days and I don't give whoever a damn and I will put up the new version of ai no sono ~ Break your heart :lol:
Hitomi expected a smile from her lips or any expression of happiness... or even just a sigh of relief... but nothing came to her. She sank into her chair. Hunger left her. The news was supposed to be good news. And it really is good news. But...It shouldn't change anything now that Rika is confirmed not pregnant. Or will it?
It seems she got a bit too hopeful.
Hitomi looked out the window. She didn't notice that it had started raining. It was raining hard. Water drops stuck to her wall. Some stayed where they fell. Some crawled down. Some of those that crawled down bumped into other drops. Some merged with the other drops and stayed where it was. Some merged dragged the other drop down. Some merged then split, leaving it where it was while proceeding, taking some of the other's water with it. While some flowed down somehow evading the other drops, disappearing from Hitomi's sight.:roll: Wonder why you went into details...maybe it's symbolising different types of downfall?
"To-chan, don't forget to eat lunch, okay? Don't work too hard. You might strain yourself. Don't rush coming home later. The streets are wet. Don't drive fast. It's dangerous. Take care. I love you.":wub: AWWW...........
"Like when she punch--"
Miki cut her off again. "Yes, like when she punched you for cheating on me."
"... That was when I lost you..."
"You never had me."
Wonder why you went into details...maybe it's symbolising different types of downfall?
Those three are so cute together! I'm glad that Ayumi let go of some of her shyness and is getting along well with Mai and Ayaka.
Ayumi is so cute!!!! :wub:
On a side note, yeah! tomorrow is my last paper! Maybe it won't break your heart..I don't know :D
I know I haven't been commenting! Gomen ne~
Sayu sounds so perfect! She knows exactly what she wants and how to get it.
Rika being concerned about Yossy just melts my heart, really. She wants to make sure she's fed and safe. AWWWWWWW! You really know how to touch someone's heart, tru_harmony!
And Shiba-chan seems a little jealous that Rika calls Ayaka all the time.
Mai suddenly stood up and exclaimed. "Oh-my-god!!! Ayaka, this is the return of the Pre-Rika Yoshiko!"My god, this is freaking hilarious! :rofl: First lady..haha the power of RIKA!!!!!!!! XD Update update! Somemore tomorrow is the 'life' (aka bio) test. Need laughter to keep up with the information seeping into my mind :lol: I'm loving this :)
Ayumi sat still. She turned to the company president. "Well, before you fire us all, Ms. President, your first lady called..."
"... She called? ... ..." Hitomi accidentally dropped her fork.
Ayaka gave her an evil grin. "Yes... And she asked if you were eating lunch with us..."
"What did you tell her?"
Mai, now seated again crossed her arms."Of course, we told her that you weren't eating lunch with us..."
"And... ... ...?"
"And what?" Ayumi raised an eyebrow at the president. Revenge for overtime work can't be sweeter than this.
"What did she say?"
"She told us to remind you to eat..." Ayaka stared the big boss down.
"... She didn't sound mad, did she...?"
Ayumi placed a hand on Hitomi's shoulder. "... She didn't. But she will get mad if you fire any of us for waiting down here to remind you."
My god, this is freaking hilarious! First lady..haha the power of RIKA!!!!!!!! Update update! Somemore tomorrow is the 'life' (aka bio) test. Need laughter to keep up with the information seeping into my mind I'm loving this
On a side side note, I have 1 and a half scene left to write for chap 23. Yeah
The whole thing with the first lady was gold!!!! Love it!
first lady!! mauajajjaja it was hilarious... yeah... Ayumi knew political heirarchies very well... the president owns everybody but the first lady owns the president!!! :lol:
And Mai, she seems a little scatterbrained. Then again, if the game results on Haromoni@ have any truth, she really isn't too bright. But she's still cool!... she was just... uh... preoccupied... :lol:
, Rika isn't pregnant. I guess that's better but I feel like Yossy. I was getting myself excited.
Rika isn't pregnant I was hoping she somehow was, that would have been so nice...somethings are just not meant to be...
Oh well. Mayumi is evil! She planned for Jr to get hit, huh? That Dan guy or someone else was driving the truck. And now she gonna use the excuse that Jr is hurt to lure Rika back! Ahhhh! I'm scared!
poor boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they're so bad~~ ate rika~~ help~~
i want to know what'll happen!!
Bloody hell..is that a set-up that they were rambling about for so long? Damn, they make use of a boy! This is so stinky of them to do so! Think Rika will break down if she knows about it.Evil is Mayumi... ...
I'm with tito! Lets get a flashback to the Yossy/Aya fight... and then I would loooove to see Miki/Aya just after it when the finally officially get together, awwwwwwwww (my heart is melting at that thought, and GAM hasn't done that to me for a looong time).
Oh crap, I will miss this..at least once per day, please?i'll see what i can do... i might do once a week... but longer updates...
... hot chocolatei just had that this morning... yum...
dun dun DUN!!! Oh no what will happen when Rika and Yossie watch the evening news?
uh-oh! Rika missed the news! but she's gunna watch it later! :O I hope Yossie doesn't go to sleep early. If Rika finds out about this she might do something drastic or breakdown. Either way Yossie needs to be there. :(
Oh my shit, Yuki, damn it, that sad part is for you!! :cry:
What about me?? :lol:
Man that's low. Now Rika's gonna feel guilty about the accident :angry:. Yossie help her through this please :pleeease:
Oh my shit, Yuki, damn it, that sad part is for you!! :cry:
What about me?? :lol:
Nice move there, Mayumi. I think it will definitely work but even then, there will be a Yossie to help Rika through it. That, you didn't expect. That was cruel enough tita! :(
More updates pleaseeee
thank you tru ^^ :monk gboy:
it's a bit sad chapter, poor Rika, Yossy you will have to be in alert!! help rika!!! yay yay (it just sound like thatn in my head ¬¬) :mon geek:
mmm i want a new chapter!!
Mayumi is evil! She planned for Jr to get hit, huh? That Dan guy or someone else was driving the truck. And now she gonna use the excuse that Jr is hurt to lure Rika back!Yep...:O
Man that's low. Now Rika's gonna feel guilty about the accident :angry:.That was undoubtedly the crux of their plan. They knew that Rika wouldn't come back for either of them, it would have to be for someone that actually still mattered to her. When she comes back for Jr, that's probably when they plan on grabbing her and "giving her back" to Baldo to keep themselves safe.
Whoa, I feel so bad for Rika-chan!! :( Mayumi is so evil. I hope she is able to go back and see Jr. but avoid being recaptured by evil stepmother! No, Rika-chan, it's not selfish of you! :(
"Can't I be your baby?"
That earned Rika a kiss on the neck. "Yeah... you could be my baby... I'm gonna take good care of you..."
But for now it's probably for the best with all the mess in their lives at the moment.yep... i couldn't agree more...
Hitomi kissed her on the forehead as she pulled Rika closer. "... ...What if... they ask you to stay?"If only Rika and Yossi knew that May never had any intention of "asking" Rika to stay. :sweatdrop:
Rika was stunned by the question. It never crossed her mind. "... I don't know..."
Hitomi was already in bed when she remembered what she came home early for: the pregnancy test results. She hasn't told Rika about the negative result yet. She really didn't want to tell Rika.Even with all that's going on, it might be something that's on Rika's mind. It would probably be better if she got it done and over with. However, if Yossi wants to wait, she should just make sure that she doesn't drag it out too long.
It was raining hard outside. It was as if half the Pacific ocean evaporated and is now falling over Makati. Lighting gave a bright flash at almost a constant pace and loud thunder followed it closely. One could feel the vibration whenever lightning struck.Ah, rainy season back in RP. If it weren't for the possibilities for flooding and what not, it could actually be somewhat relaxing.
"The pregnancy test results came in this morning..."And there we go. Done. One less thing to worry about, which is good, considering they'll probably have plenty to worry about soon enough.
"And...?"
"Negative." Hitomi said nothing more. She wanted to hear how Rika would react but Rika was just as silent as she is. "Aren't you going to react about the news at all?"
"I'd be lying if I told you that I'm happy with the news but... I am quite relieved..."
"would you still want a baby?":wriggly:
"... Maybe..."
"I want a baby..."
"Can't I be your baby?"
That earned Rika a kiss on the neck. "Yeah... you could be my baby... I'm gonna take good care of you..."
They can take out Jin, right?only Third can do "hands-on" missions... and she's not here... so taking Jin out... not probable... for now...
omg! you commented! i missed you!!! i thought you stopped checking for my updates... *happiness* ...Like I said in another thread, I'm still here. Just cutting back on making the massive commentary, that's all.
only Third can do "hands-on" missions... and she's not here... so taking Jin out... not probable... for now...Consider that a suggestion for the epilogue. Or at the very least, The Eyes could find some proof of some illegal stuff he did so he'd get thrown in prison. :D
He nodded and pointed at the picture on the right. "It's him..."
A grin formed on her lips as she entered the elevator.
Mayumi immediately caught sight of the very person she was waiting for. "Rika, anak!"Aw fuck. :angry:
A grin formed on her lips as she entered the elevator.Where are Dan and Baldo right now?
"Yeah... your prince will always come to rescue you..." She leaned in for a quick kiss.
Hitomi felt someone tap her on the back. "Excuse us po..."
The rabu-rabu scene was interupted by a flock of interns who were walking along the hallway. Hitomi and Rika laughed among themselves as they walked to the side to make room for the interns. It looked pretty silly to have a rabu-rabu scene in the middle of the hallway in a hospital.
Have a very a very bad feeling about Rika going to the hospital by herself.Looks like everyone here is thinking along the same lines as Yossi. Considering what happened with May before, bodyguards would definitely be a prudent move, however because she's "family", Rika's probably facing the Filipino problem of "hiya" (sort of like "public shame" or "saving face") and doesn't want to draw unnecessary attention to what happened.
@gloopip: you're here!!!! I missed you...i never left... :roll: i'm a daily lurker of you're updates here! :ph43r:
Rika snuck behind her, wrapping her arms around Hitomi's waist. "To-chan, I'm cold..."cause To-chan's hug is better than her jacket... :bingo:
Hitomi grinned. "You knew there's a typhoon... Why didn't you bring a jacket?"
Hitomi mocked Rika, assuming a babyish voice. "Aww... the baby is cold... what should I do? what should I do?":luvluv1: :luvluv1: :luvluv1:
Rika wasn't amused. She turned from Hitomi with her arms still crossed on her chest and took a few steps away.
Suddenly, Hitomi grabbed her from behind and embraced her. "I should do what I can to keep her warm... No cold shoulders, please Ka-chan?"
Rika smiled as Hitomi planted small kisses on her neck, her hair and behind her ear. "Right..." Rika moved her head a bit to the side to grant better access to Hitomi. The moment reminded Hitomi of her repressed thoughts from this morning. Although it might sound a bit forward and prematures, it was a natural step. Besides, Hitomi was prepared for rejection.
"Ka-chan... ...":shocked:....... :mon mad: ARghhhh!!!! i hate intruders!!!!! :angry:
"Hm?
"... Is it alright if... ... hmm... you... ... ..."
"Is it alright if I...?"
"Is it alright if you--"
*knock*
"Rika, anak... pabukas nga ng pinto..." Eula called from behind the door.
Damn!
"Oh, it's Tita Eu..." Rika pulled away from Hitomi's embrace, walked to the door and opened it.
Hitomi could only close her eyes at the frustration of not being able to get the question out there.
Eula approached Hitomi and apologized "Sir, sorry if the food doesn't fit your tastes... that's all they have in the cafeteria..."even though rika gave off yossy's full name to eula, she still thinks that yossy's a 'He'. XD XD XD
@kRisZ: yay! wordier comments!!!! ... the pair of Eyes are on another mission right now... lalalala... lalalala...
"Salamat, iha. Salamat din po, Mr. Yoshiza--"eula: :mon one:
Hitomi smiled as she interupted Eula and with effort and accent corrected her. "Ms.Yoshizawa po. I hope I can do more to help you. I hope to see you again soon."
The two turned away and walked themselves out the door while a stunned Eula stayed seated on the chair by the table. "Ms... ?"
"Is it alright if I...?"Is it alright if I conserve water with you?
"Is it alright if you--"
"Salamat, iha. Salamat din po, Mr. Yoshiza--":kneelbow:
Hitomi smiled as she interupted Eula and with effort and accent corrected her. "Ms.Yoshizawa po. I hope I can do more to help you. I hope to see you again soon.":hee:
The two turned away and walked themselves out the door while a stunned Eula stayed seated on the chair by the table. "Ms... ?":dunno:
With The Philippines being a heavily devout Catholic country (for the most part), obviously people have strong opinions about homosexuality/homosexual relationships. while male homosexuality is at least somewhat "acknowledged", lesbianism is still up in the air as far as perception and what "old-country" Filipinos think about it.
the next few chapters are going to be VERY interesting indeed.
Hitomi gave Rika a sad-puppydog-face. "But... if you leave that early, that means we won't have breakfast together..."Awwwwwww...... :oops:
"Hmm... Maybe if you wake up early tomorrow, we can still have breakfast together..."
"Wake me up early... ..."
"I'll wake you up as soon as I awake..."
"... Really...?"
"Yeah..."
Hitomi attempted to redeem herself with sheer sweetness. "... Um... It's just that... I can't stand being an inch away from you." She lifted her legs an inch from Rika's lap and made a sad face. "See, just being this far away from you makes me miss you..."AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Hitomi's words embarassed Rika. "To-chan!" Rika covered her face with her hands to keep Hitomi from seeing the bright crimson shade.
Hitomi's legs fell gently on Rika's lap. "Now, I'm happy again!"
XD
Rika looked at her in disbelief. “To-chan, that recipe was good for five people...”
6 v-u-den pics of pure awesomeness... Rika makes me melt.... she makes me... ... SHE MAKES ME WANT TOConserve water, we know.
Hitomi stood up and walked to her room. She had to free up some space for the new occupant.:wahaha:
Hitomi looked at her bed. Rika changed the sheets two weeks ago so the linens were still relatively clean save for some drops of drool here and there.
"Ooh, is that bistek Tagalog?" she asked, pointing at the bowl.I KNOW HOW TO MAKE THAT! :lol:
Rika answered with a nod. "... It's the easiest to prepare... Have you had it before?"
“My tongue hurts… that rice is damned hot…”:twisted:
“Is there something I can do to make it better?”
A naughty smile suddenly appeared on Hitomi’s face as she moved closer to the table, to Rika who was across. “Well… there is—”
“No.”Hey, Rika DID ask. XD
Hitomi fell back on the chair, her arms falling to each side in resignation. “Aww… you saw through my plans.”
After two more cups of rice, Hitomi had finished all the bistek Rika cooked. “Isn’t there anymore?”Now THIS is a true sign that Rika learned to cook Filipino food, the Filipino way.
“To-chan! You’ve eaten 4 cups of rice!”
“But your cooking is so good… It’s way better than the cooking of the lunch lady in the cafeteria…”
Rika blushed. “You’re just saying that…”
“No… really… I mean it…” Hitomi took the serving bowl of the bistek. “Isn’t there anymore?”
“... ... You ate everything up…”
“So there’s nothing left…? ... Even on the stove?”
Rika looked at her in disbelief. “To-chan, that recipe was good for five people...”
*YOSSI, RIKA, AND THE DISHES*Oh, burn! :lol:
"Yun kaya yung nagpatulog kay Baldo?"Another way to interpret "nagpatulog" is something like "made to sleep." XD
"Siguro... ang gwapo talaga..." (Maybe... he's really hansome...) Mayumi sighed thinking about the 'guy' with Rika this morning.OSHIT, even May is swooning at Yossi!
"Nagsalita ang muntik nang ahasin nung batang yun..." (You're the one to talk... Rika almost took you from me...)Damn, Dan was so drunk then that he doesn't realize that he didn't actually do anything with Rika.
"Oo na..." (yeah yeah, whatever)
Rika emerged from the bathroom and smiled when she caught sight of the nightie on the bed. Now where could she have gotten this?Mai? Ayaka? Shiba-chan? ;D
Rika emerged from the bathroom and smiled when she caught sight of the nightie on the bed. Now where could she have gotten this?i wonder what kind of nightie is it :kekeke:
"Nagsalita ang muntik nang ahasin nung batang yun..."will be extrapolated later... :)
Mai? Ayaka? Shiba-chan?we will see just how lucky yossui is...
the fact that Mayumi almost lost Dan to Rika must make her resent Rika even more!actually, it's the root cause of her disdain for Rika... i think it's mentioned earlier... but that's like about a hundred updates ago so i'm not sure... :lol: me and my crazily short and quick updates.... :lol: i'm such a salot (scum)here...
Mayumi will be in for a big surprise when she figures out Yossie's a girl. She'll probably be ashamed of how much she was swooning over her.That woman has no sense of shame! :lol:
I think the nightie should be an exact replica of what Rika wore in the Sukeban Deka movieI watched that movie for the nth time today... but no. :lol:
And it betta not be a cliffhanger or a chapter that is a totall blueballmaker iie shark mars and triniad or whatever the hell the third one was called.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: i almost died laughing... that was exactly what i had in mind! j/k!
Ooooh, what kind of nightie are we talking here?
I'm with strawb3rrykream, what kinda nightie is this? A good nightie or a naughty nightie. Knowing Yossie...
i wonder what kind of nightie is it
Hitomi sat on the edge of the bed. She was feeling very tense. She took her phone and played the mp3 of Gardenia by Malice Mizer. It calmed her down a bit and she played air drums with it to entertain herself while waiting. At the outro, when the drum part was getting a bit hectic, Rika opens the door.Yossi = :rockon:
Rika looked at Hitomi who had her eyes closed, getting the feel of the song. "Um... To-chan?"
Hitomi looked like an electrecuted cat. The track had ended. She looked up at Rika, deeply embarrassed. "Did you see me...?"
Rika giggled as she nodded.
"To-chan, do we really have to wear matching sleepwear?"COMMANDO?!?!? :w00t: :drool:
Hitomi looked down at the pajamas she was wearing. It was satin chocolate brown pajamas with pink piping at the cuffs and collar. "It came with the bedsheets..."
"Yeah, right... Try again..." Rika crossed her arms.
"Really... That's where these are from... Everything matches, see?" Hitomi pointed at the bed and the pillows and even the curtains. "... ... You don't believe me?"
"I would have believed you if this didn't come with that matching thong--"
Hitomi suddenly got excited. "Did you wear it?"
"No." Rika answered nonchalantly.
"Well, I don't know what the Marks and Spencer people had in mind when they gave me this for Christmas last year..."Saleswomen at the store swooning over Yossi and gave her the sets hoping to get the chance to personally try them on for her?
Rika was stunned. It really seemed like Hitomi was telling the truth. Everything did match. The pillowcases even have tiny "Yoshizawa"s embroidered on the side. "... ... They really just give stuff like this to you?"
Hitomi was proud. "Every Christmas since I became president..."
Holy.... :imdead: Matching thong..... :mon blood:DON'T DIE ON ME!!!!
All the matching stuff is weird, but kinda cute :wub:I have a fixation with matching things... blame my rabu-rabu
it's the yoshizawa effect!
But I was a little shocked that Rika allowed Yossy to go that far.
COMMANDO?!?!? :w00t: :drool:
Saleswomen at the store swooning over Yossi and gave her the sets hoping to get the chance to personally try them on for her?i can imagine....
:kekeke:
It must have been really good for Rika to have allowed it to get to that point.rika is such a lucky girl...
Great update! :D Carry on :Pthanks!
Oh YAAAAAAY!i like brown and my rabu0-rabu likes pink... good match, dibs?
I liked that one :D
It was sweet with all the matching things and how excited Yossy is about THEIR room, oh and I looove brown and pink :heart: The Marks and Spencer people have good taste :wub:
What a hot make out session :twisted:... :wub:
Now that Rika has had a taste of the Pimp (and really enjoyed it) surely she's gonna want more soon :P
I'm proud of her for being able to say no and stop Yossy though, that really wouldn't have been the easiest thing to do at such a moment :lol:
YAY MOAR MOAR!!!
"... Ka-chan... I want ice cream for breakfast..."ice cream for breakfast?! what a brat... : :mon ehh:
R"That's not the kind of food you eat for breakfast..."
"... but that's what I want..."
"I didn't know you're a spoiled brat..."
"You do now..."
Hitomi faced Rika again with a smile on her face that confused Rika, "you're not ready... I know... Don't feel bad about it... I was just kidding... I can wait..." and then, Hitomi wolfishly grinned. "I know you'll give in soon... ... I'm too irresistable..."yeah yossy's too irresistable rika :mon misch:
Rika rolled her eyes at Hitomi. "... and cocky... don't forget cocky..."
She discovered that Rika’s left canine was a bit pointier than the one on the right.that whole Chapter/update was HAWT except this part threw me off.... inspecting Rika's teeth with her tongue :mon huh2: was.... odd lol
Damn. :banghead:COMMANDO?!?!? :w00t: :drool:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she wore something more... ... .. um... modest?
love the sig and avatar set... simple and sweet... the heart on the corner and the smiles on their faces say it all... as promised, this update's for you!!!!!!:otomerika: :w00t: Thankies!!! :w00t: :otomerika:
"You better be out of here in twenty minutes if you don't want to see me in my full naked glory, Ka-chan!"Hitomi yelled out:drool:
to Rika from inside her bathroom.
the piano where she would practice that special piece for that friend from so many years ago was no more.but that friend is still there...if only she knew ;)
Now, there's this bed. Ka-chan and To-chan's bed. The bed where Rika could hide from the world, from time, from the past. The bed where she would never be alone. The bed where she could be with closest to the one she loves the most. Now, this is her home. It has a piano too and a violin with an awesome violinist.:yep: an awesome, hot, rich, kind and.......
The young man looked at himself on the mirror. "Kaya mo yan..." (You can do it...)
He picked up the gillete mach 3 on his sink and gently shaved off his goatie, remembering how much Rika disliked it when he first grew a goatie. Rika was all he could think of since Mike texted him of her return.
"Ano naman yan?" (What on earth is that?) Rika giggled pointing at his chin.
"Goatie... Ano sa tingin mo?" (Goatie... What do you think?")
"Hindi bagay sa'yo... Bakit ka naman nagpatubo nyan?" (It doesn't look good on you... Why did you even grow that?) Rika returned to arranging the shelves in the sari-sari store.
"Rocker ako!" (I'm a rocker!)
"Oo na..." (Sure you are...) Rika rolled her eyes.
"Rika... "
"That's ice cream for a basketball team!":pig laugh: :pig laugh: :pig laugh:
"What~ ... I just took out 3 scoops for each flavor..."
"Three?!?"
Hitomi scratched her head "... ... ... I'll finish whatever you won't eat..."
"You eat too much..."
"Come on, Ka-chan... let's just enjoy this..."
"If you don't lessen how much you eat--"
"I won't lose this hot body of mine to twelve scoops of ice cream, Ka-chan..."
"You better be out of here in twenty minutes if you don't want to see me in my full naked glory, Ka-chan!"Hitomi yelled out to Rika from inside her bathroom.Watch, Rika's debating with herself about whether to stay or not. :twisted:
Rika placed her hand on her chest. Her heart was going doki-doki really fast. Hitomi really knew how to make a girl feel special. No wonder Ayumi warned her about falling in love with "that one".
The old grand piano where her mother taught her how to play the piano wasn't there anymore... the piano where she would practice that special piece for that friend from so many years ago was no more.Man, are they EVER going to find out that they're right in front of each other's noses? Can't wait to see what happens when Rika plays that "special tune" on Yossi's piano and Yossi overhears her. :)
The young man looked at himself on the mirror. "Kaya mo yan..." (You can do it...)Yeah, a lot of us 'Pino dudes have this thing about having chin hair (myself included, at least for the summer :D).
He picked up the gillete mach 3 on his sink and gently shaved off his goatie, remembering how much Rika disliked it when he first grew a goatie. Rika was all he could think of since Mike texted him of her return.
"Ano naman yan?" (What on earth is that?) Rika giggled pointing at his chin.
"Goatie... Ano sa tingin mo?" (Goatie... What do you think?")
"Hindi bagay sa'yo... Bakit ka naman nagpatubo nyan?" (It doesn't look good on you... Why did you even grow that?) Rika returned to arranging the shelves in the sari-sari store.
"Rocker ako!" (I'm a rocker!)
"Oo na..." (Sure you are...) Rika rolled her eyes.
"Rika... "
Hitomi walked back to the table where the ice cream was and scooped out their breakfast. After finishing her task, she took her seat and waited for Rika to join her. She didn't have to wait that long...Okay, for a sec I thought that Yossi was sitting at the table...nekkid! XD
"TO-CHAN!!!"
Hitomi almost fell off the chair. "What?! ... what?" She turned to the cause of her alarm, Rika who was standing a few feet from the table, frozen in her place, pointing at the bowl on the table.
"What is that?!"
"Uhm... that's our breakfast, Ka-chan..."
"Uhm... that's our breakfast, Ka-chan..."12 scoops of ice cream?
"That's ice cream for a basketball team!"
"What~ ... I just took out 3 scoops for each flavor..."
"Three?!?"
"If you don't lessen how much you eat--"Any bets on how long it'll be before Yossi pulls the "You could always help me 'work it off' " line the next time Rika scolds her about eating too much? ;D
"I won't lose this hot bod of mine to twelve scoops of ice cream, Ka-chan..."
*YOSSI-RIKA BODYGUARD TALK*That pretty much sums it all up right there. Recent events have obviously tainted her perception of certain people in her life, she's still a very "family-oriented" person and just cannot fathom something like this being a setup.
Hitomi took Rika's hand and kissed it. "I trust you... I just don't trust... everybody else..."
"See you..."Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo...what's Yossi planning here? :grin:
Rika pushed the door to a close before turning away from Hitomi , going up the stairs to the trainstation.
Hitomi grinned as she looked at Rika through the rear view mirror. "Maybe sooner than later..."
"Rika... parang anak na naging turing ko sa iyo... magtapat ka nga sa'kin... siya ba ang dahilan kaya lumayas ka sa inyo?" (Rika... i treated you like my own child... please be honest with me... is she the reason why you ran away from home?)Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...I'm not sure that this is a wise move. Rika's obviously doing it to avoid having to tell her about the whole May/Dan/Baldo incident. If Rika were to tell her about it, there are 2 possible outcomes:
Rika nodded. Even if it wasn't the real reason, it would be a good cover-up excuse for now.
Eula sighed heavily, it was obvious that she was disappointed with Rika. "Hindi naman kita mapapakialaman sa desisyon mong yan... Pero alam kong alam mo na hindi tama yang relasyon nyo...Kasalanan yang ginagawa mo... " (I know don't have a say in that decision of yours... But you know that your relationship with her is wrong... You're commiting a sin...)Did I previously mention that Filipinos are devoutly Catholic, and can be really, really, REALLY devoutly i.e. stupidly/ignorantly Catholic (as in, "common sense/real life practicality is disregarded in favour of what the good book says even though what the good book says is obviously wrong and obviously causes emotional/mental pain to the affected person/people but that doesn't matter because all that matters is doing what the good book says and anyone who doesn't do what the good book says is going 'you know where' and is going to be privately and publicly ridiculed because they don't do what the good book says")?
As Eula was standing up, a soft knock was heard from the door. She turned to the door. "Pasok..." (Come in...)Oh boy...it's going to be...interesting to see what unfolds here.
The door slowly opened, revealing the visitor.
Eula smiled at seeing him. It was as if her god answered her prayers immediately. "O, Joseph. napadalaw ka... Wala ka bang pasok ngayon?" (O, Joseph. You're here... Don't you have school or work today?)
Timing could never be more perfect than this.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND we have our cliffhanger for the day!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHARMY PREVAILS!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"~hey~ who needs protection here? ... definetely not me~" Rika stood between the two, confused, trying to ease the tension.
Joseph didn't hear Rika call his name. He was in deep concentration-- this might be his last chance. He closed his eyes. After a few seconds, he opened them, his mind was made up./me inches up closer to the screen. :O
"Rika... May kailangan akong sabihin sa'yo..." (Rika... There's something I need to tell you...)
Rika was already seated by the bed. "Hmm? Ano yun?" (What is it?)
"Ano... Hmm... paano ba to...... Rika, may gusto--" a knock on the door interupted him on his speech./me stumbles a la Japanese comedy tradition.
"TO-CHAN! What are you doing here?!"Yossi = :mon kissy:
Jo quickly looked to the door to see what was Rika shouting at. His world crumbled at the sight: Rika in a kiss with a very, very handsome guy. He quickly turned away, pretending he didn't see a thing. He wanted to cry. He really missed his chance... more than a month ago.
"To-chan, this is Joseph. He's a good friend of mine... Jo, this is Hitomi... inglesin mo na lang sya... hindi nananagalog e..." (... speak to her* in English... can't speak Tagalog...)Joseph = :mon wtf:
Hitomi?! Joseph has watched enough anime to know that Hitomi was a female name. He was at loss for words.
I can't let you stay here alone..."Quick thinking by the kid. :thumbsup
Joseph suddenly had a lightbulb moment. "... Um... excuse me... ... ah... I can come over here everyday to stay with Rika..."
Shit. Hitomi thought. She just gave an opening to this guy. Must... undo... "... are you a trained bodyguard?"This could actually be a good thing, regardless of whether or not Joseph ends up being there. The fact that Yossi basically stated that Rika could be in danger from something could lead to Joseph being another unexpected set of eyes and ears that they otherwise wouldn't have. His personal connection and knowledge of Rika and the other family members could lead him to seeing observations and making connections that others (like Rika) would not have. Even though he might not have formal training, Yossi has realized how he feels about Rika and, if nothing else, that means that he would likely be sincere if he were to state that he'd protect her and accept a bodyguard type of role.
"... No."
"You're not qualified..." Hitomi told him with a smug look on her face.
"What do you mean?"
"I meant you're not qualified to protect Rika..."
"Protect?!"
Jo looked at Hitomi with a determined look on his face. "I can protect her."/me sees hammer and nail.
Rika stood between the two, confused, trying to ease the tension. They just met. Why are they so tense? Rika just had no idea.Poor Rika, doesn't know the strength of her own hotness. :yep:
By the time I got to the end I was like :wahaha: Yossy vs. Joseph!!! :kekeke: Can't wait to see how this turns out. I feel a little bad for Joseph but he missed his chance.battle royale of the century: Yossui vs Joseph!!! ... he had about 3 years worth of chances to confess to Rika... so... it's his fault.. GO YOSSUI!!!!! (i'm biased against my own original characters :lol: )
Good update! :lol:Thanks! :)
/me inches up closer to the screen. :O... i just imagined an imaginary image of you stumbling... :lol:
/me stumbles a la Japanese comedy tradition.
BTW, since tru forgot, Joseph basically said "Ummm...Hmmm...how do I say....... Rika, I lik--" *door knocks*i also forgot what Rika told him as she stood up to answer the door...
"Sandali lang, Jo a..." Rika stood up and aswered the door.Just wait a sec, Jo...
/me makes a long whistling sound....followed by an "exploding" sound./me hears whistling sound from the distance... followed by an "exploding" sound.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooo...yeah...this definitely makes my previous suspicions about what could happen with Joseph (and May) all the more plausible, especially when you combine it with the whole "Catholic" thing I mentioned earlier, not to mention the whole male ego thing (which May will no doubt count on if my suspicions about her plan are correct).i love your character analysis...
DAMN I'm good.yes, you are...
:wahaha:
Poor Rika, doesn't know the strength of her own hotness. :yep:better than having her walking around saying "ichiban sekushii"
Yossi looks at Rika = :luvluv1:THIS IS THE TRU+H
Joseph looks at Rika = :luvluv1:
Joseph and Yossi look at each other = :mon mad: :mon mad:
Meanwhile...Rika = :gmon blonde:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :pen_whirl:
AWESWOME!!!!!!!!!!are you using a hair iron? be careful with that...
oh crap! must....continue....straightening ,......hair.....for....school!!!!
I promise i'll post a muuch better comment after...make it long... there's a new update...
and I'm not that lonely at school :) I have a loooot of 'friends' there... I even got a hug yesterday.. yup... not lonely at all *rocks self back and forth*/me hugs sweeety
Joseph pretended that he was focused on the food. He's been struggling against the urge to look at them and contented himself with eavesdropping. To-chan? Ka-chan? what kind of pet names are those? Joseph fought hard not to look. He was losing. He looked.
Hitomi sliced a off a piece of the steak and fork-fed Rika the portion. "Good?"
Rika nodded. She couldn't give a verbal response as she was chewing her food.
Hitomi resumed eating the steak. It went faster than it came.
"To-chan, you're such a messy eater, you got some gravy on your cheek..."
"You got tissue here?" Hitomi asked Joseph.
He looked in the bag but there was none. He shook his head.
"Oh, well I can wash it off later..."
"You're so messy... How could gravy get to your cheek?"
"My appeal was so strong the gravy defied the laws of gravity to get itself stuck to me..."
"Yeah, right..." Rika said, rolling her eyes.
"How else can you explain it?"
"... You're just messy... that's all there is to it... But I still love you... even if you're so messy..." Rika seemingly forgot the presence of her friend and kissed Hitomi on the lips. Mmm... Steak...
Then and there, Joseph started mentally digging his own grave.
Hitomi immediately noticed the flowers on the table. From the looks of the flowers, Hitomi felt that someone's heart was breaking right now. She grinned. Another guy's heart broken, courtesy of Yoshizawa Hitomi.
Joseph left the couple in the room to buy them lunch. Being a real guy, it would be awkward to ask Hitomi buy the food even if that could get him some time alone with Rika again.you may be a 'real' guy....but hitomi can beat that w/ her manly attitude :mon noprob:
"Hmm?" Hitomi leaned her head against Rika's. This was all possible thanks to Ayumi. That girl really cared about Rika. "I have a surprise for you later at home...":shy2: :luvluv1: :shy2:
"What is it?"
"If I tell you now, it won't be a surprise anymore now, will it?"
"Hmm... I'm not really fond of surprises..."
"You'll like this one... I promise..."
"... I believe you..." Rika took Hitomi's arm and sought the her hand "... I love you..."
Hitomi lifted the hand and brought it to her lips, giving it a small kiss. "I love you too, baby..."
"... But I love you more..." Rika answered back nonchalantly.
"Really?"
"Yeah..."
"No way..."
"WAY..."
"... fine..."
"~hey~ ... why did you give up so easy?"
"Eh?"
"Didn't you notice that I was deliberately engaging you? How come you concede so easily everytime?"
"... You were? ...Well, I concede easily because I love you..."
"Even if you really don't agree with what I think?"
"Yep... ... ... Even if I don't understand what is going on, I'll believe in you... and give in to you... because I love you..."
"... Well I've been thinking about that... I've spoken to Ayumi this morning..."good idea to-chan!
"About what?"
"She said she can stay here with you... She'll be your 'bodyguard'"
"What about her work?"
"She'll be bringing her work here..."
"What?"
"Ka-chan... That's what we have wireless internet for... ... "
"She told me she felt that she hasn't really been around for you... but that's really my fault..."
"You got that right..."
"... You're just messy... that's all there is to it... But I still love you... even if you're so messy..." Rika seemingly forgot the presence of her friend and kissed Hitomi on the lips. Mmm... Steak...
Then and there, Joseph started mentally digging his own grave.
Joseph left the couple in the room to buy them lunch. Being a real guy, it would be awkward to ask Hitomi buy the food even if that could get him some time alone with Rika again.THIS PART WAS SO AWESOME!!!
Rika kept her eyes closed, thinking of her girlfriend just sitting beside her. "To-chan~..."Ooooooooooooooh, that tease. :hump:
"Hmm?" Hitomi leaned her head against Rika's. This was all possible thanks to Ayumi. That girl really cared about Rika. "I have a surprise for you later at home..."
"What is it?"
"If I tell you now, it won't be a surprise anymore now, will it?"
"Hmm... I'm not really fond of surprises..."
"You'll like this one... I promise..."
Rika took Hitomi's arm and sought the her hand "... I love you..."/me isn't sure if he needs a dentist or a barf bag. :lol:
Hitomi lifted the hand and brought it to her lips, giving it a small kiss. "I love you too, baby..."
"... But I love you more..." Rika answered back nonchalantly.
"Really?"
"Yeah..."
"No way..."
"WAY..."
"... fine..."
"~hey~ ... why did you give up so easy?"
"Eh?"
"Didn't you notice that I was deliberately engaging you? How come you concede so easily everytime?"
"... You were? ...Well, I concede easily because I love you..."
"Even if you really don't agree with what I think?"
"Yep... ... ... Even if I don't understand what is going on, I'll believe in you... and give in to you... because I love you..."
"Aww... To-chan... ... that just made me reconsider the bodyguard..."Huh? She will?
"... Well I've been thinking about that... I've spoken to Ayumi this morning..."
"About what?"
"She said she can stay here with you... She'll be your 'bodyguard'"
"What about her work?"Only question left is if Shiba-chan can get a signal while she's there. :roll:
...
"Ka-chan... That's what we have wireless internet for... ... "
"Rika~ Kainan na~" (Rika~ Time to eat~)Jo = :cool1:
"To-chan... The food is here~"
...
He carefully opened the container and handed the salisbury steak to Rika. "O, eto o... yung steak mo..." (Here... your steak...)
...
Rika took the styro package from his hands and passed it to Hitomi. "Here, To-chan... I know you're pretty hungry so I asked him to get you something heavy..."
Joseph wished a piano would just fall from the ceiling and crush him to death. Seeing Rika all sweet and lovey-dovey with this girl is killing him. Dapat ako yan! (That should've been me!)
Joseph pretended that he was focused on the food. He's been struggling against the urge to look at them and contented himself with eavesdropping. To-chan? Ka-chan? what kind of pet names are those? Joseph fought hard not to look. He was losing. He looked.Ouch...he saw her getting fed.
Hitomi sliced a off a piece of the steak and fork-fed Rika the portion. "Good?"
Rika nodded. She couldn't give a verbal response as she was chewing her food.
"You're so messy... How could gravy get to your cheek?"Holy crap you're torturing the poor kid.
"My appeal was so strong the gravy defied the laws of gravity to get itself stuck to me..."
"Yeah, right..." Rika said, rolling her eyes.
"How else can you explain it?"
"... You're just messy... that's all there is to it... But I still love you... even if you're so messy..." Rika seemingly forgot the presence of her friend and kissed Hitomi on the lips. Mmm... Steak...
Then and there, Joseph started mentally digging his own grave.
/me isn't sure if he needs a dentist or a barf bag. :lol:barf bag... the dentist's clinic is full...
Only question left is if Shiba-chan can get a signal while she's there. :roll:I've already spoken to an ISP... they promised that she can get a signal... :lol:
Their little flirting was :love: ...definitely... ... he wants to leave yossui out of the conversation? :lol: ... i know! she really should have... but whenever i mentioned the gravy thing to her she just plugs her ears and sings "Lalalala~ I don't hear you" ... nice melody...
... I can tell he speaks Tagalog on purpose. Man, Rika shoulda licked the gravy off her cheek! :twisted:
Rika and Yossie are so cute they put babies to shame.XD
Poor Josephme too... kinda shameful on my part, ne~?
...
that was me attempting to be sympathetic
But in all reality
I don't care what happens to him XD
MWHAHAHA Joseph you don't stand a chance.... wow that was pretty evil of me sorry Joe maybe-YAY ISHIYOSHI!!!!
...
...
nope can't do it :mon noprob:
YAY ISHIYOSHI!!!! :mon trannie:
I'm a tiiiny bit sympathetic since they are being so lovey dovey in front of him. But its IshiYoshi we're talking about :luvluv2: no original character stands a chance.... yeah... poor guy... he practically stopped existing to IshiYoshi that moment...
joseph: :pig cry: :fainted: :gyaaah:thanks... here's another one... hmm...
gloop: :gmon bang: :mon blblbl: :mon nyah:
i love your quick updates~! keep 'em comin :love: :love: :love:
ahh what a sweet moment of ishiyoshi, i think joseph should leave, he stands no chance against yossie... Okay... so there's a general consensus that this guy is no match for the awesomeness of yossui... ... but i think he ain't leaving just yet...
As soon as the door closed, and Mayumi was surely out of sight, Rika cried. Hitomi simply embraced her, assisted her as they walked back to her car and whispered to Rika repetetively. "Don't be afraid... I'm here and I love you..."
The rapport Hitomi exuded to them convinced Mayumi that this can't be the guy who socked Baldo. She didn't know how Rika bagged this one but what matters now is to prevent herself from groping at this handsome fellow here and plot on how to get Rika back.Oh PLEASE say that May's not going to find out that Yossi's not a dude until the end of the story (hopefully, as in, when she gets arrested and they haul her ass to jail). The shock on her face would be PRICELESS! XD
Ah I wish I had a Yossi :mon cute:me too... that makes me wonder... does she write theses? hmm... yossui, can you write my thesis for me?
Oh PLEASE say that May's not going to find out that Yossi's not a dude until the end of the story (hopefully, as in, when she gets arrested and they haul her ass to jail). The shock on her face would be PRICELESS! XD... okay... May's not going to find out that Yossi's not a dude until the end... the question is... which end? XD
And Yossy's being hella competitive! :lol:that's very mannish of her... :lol:
The flowers.... :wub: How freakin romantic is that!? Can't wait to hear about the video conference! :DPerfect timing too...
wow ur fic. is really cooool , i like how it developedwow... thanks... :kneelbow: :kneelbow: :kneelbow: ... i'm glad you like it...
...please keep it up :kneelbow: :kneelbow: :kneelbow:
me = :mon angel:
waiting for the next chapter :prayers:
THERE WILL BE NO UPDATES FROM FRIDAY UNTIL SUNDAY.Know what? That actually works pretty well for me. I'm gonna be gone until Tuesday, so at least this way I'll only have 2 days of updates to catch up on from you instead of 5 days. :lol:
Rika was still trembling when they reached the car. It seems she had prepared herself to see Mayumi but not Dan. She was silent. She kept her eyes on the ground. She seemed lost in her own world as if all existence ceased.Considering what Dan tried to do to her, it's not surprising that she'd have a hard time dealing with suddenly seeming him. Right now I'm impressed that Yossi didn't pound his face in right there in the hospital (it would have saved him a trip, lulz).
I still have my surprise for you..."Well, when you think about it, it would have been a MUCH better deal (and probably easier too), to get a whole whack of flowers shipped compared to just one bouquet. :P
...
Rika found herself in the middle of the room, surrounded by innumerable dandelions.
...
"To-chan... don't tell me all these came--"
"--from home..." Hitomi kissed Rika's ear.
Ayumi helped me get all the flowers here... She even got us dinner..." Hitomi pointed at the table.Hello? Romantic time alone?
"Where is she?"
"She left when we arrived..."
"Why did you let her leave?"
:lol:
"Food again?"
"Food is important, Ka-chan..."
"But isn't it a bit too important to you?"
"What are you talking about? Food can never be too important..." Hitomi dragged Rika to the table.
Eula sighed heavily, it was obvious that she was disappointed with Rika. "Hindi naman kita mapapakialaman sa desisyon mong yan... Pero alam kong alam mo na hindi tama yang relasyon nyo...Kasalanan yang ginagawa mo... " (I know don't have a say in that decision of yours... But you know that your relationship with her is wrong... You're commiting a sin...)
Hitomi immediately noticed the flowers on the table. From the looks of the flowers, Hitomi felt that someone's heart was breaking right now. She grinned. Another guy's heart broken, courtesy of Yoshizawa Hitomi.
Joseph wished a piano would just fall from the ceiling and crush him to death. Seeing Rika all sweet and lovey-dovey with this girl is killing him. Dapat ako yan! (That should've been me!)
Then and there, Joseph started mentally digging his own grave.
Joseph noticed the uneasainess in Rika's actions and the side glance Hitomi gave him. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he decided to go along whatever the two were doing. It seemed that Rika needed his help.
Hitomi embraced her but Rika pulled away. She didn't want to be touched. The trauma resurfaced. The memories she had repressed were coming back to her conscious. She sobbed as she pushed Hitomi away.
"Ka-chan... It's me!" Hitomi persisted and wrapped her arms around Rika despite the latter's protests. "It's me. To-chan..."
But Rika continued to struggle against the embrace. "Wag po...Tito... please!" (Tito, please don't!)
Hitomi only held Rika tighter and closer to herself. "Ka-chan... ... Mahal kita..."
Rika went limp in Hitomi's arms, after realizing what she was doing. "Gomen~..."
Rika found herself in the middle of the room, surrounded by innumerable dandelions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHARMY PREVAILS!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i just want you all to know that this fic, IshiYoshi, this forum and all you lovely people are some of the things that keep me going... as shallow as this may sound to some people, my life outside this forums is very limited... i've devoted myself to this fic and honestly, as awful as this fic may seem to some people, this is one of the few things left in the world that give me a feeling of fulfillment... your comments and the view count encourage me to live on and hope despite all the frimming wrong things going on in my non-existent life... i am very grateful for your support and appreciation of this word salad entitled Runaway from the Past... I love you all very much even if I don't know you personally... this forum is home, this thread my room... and all of you are welcome here to enjoy yourselves and rest...
Joseph closed his eyes. "Kung hindi kayo kayo, hindi mo na kakailanganin ng bantay... Pinapahamak mo lang yung sarili mo e..." (If you aren't together, you wouldn't need a bodyguard... You're just putting yourself in danger...)As much as I don't like the kid... he has a good point there... It was a bad lie Rika :P
She carefully placed the basket on the table. "These are for your Tita and whoever's gonna stay here for tonight... and Jr in case he wakes up... Dole was nice enough to have one basket sent here every other day..." She walked slowly to Rika who was glued to her chair, her jaw dropped. "~white Japanese dandelions, for you~... carefully picked this morning and shipped directly from home~"Oh gosh... How incredibly sweet! :wub:
"A... oo nga naman... 09176649311..." (A... right... #)*rings number*
Tears slowly formed in her eyes. Nothing can be a worse than this. They were adding insult to injury and they should know it.Oh god! This is a good test for IshiYoshi though... F*cking arsehole... I really hate that dirty bastard man! :mon headbang:
Hitomi squeezed Rika's hand. The gesture caused Rika to look at Hitomi just as the prince mouthed words that gave Rika the strength to just get through this: "I love you."Awww... At least Yossy knows the right things to say, even if it isn't quite enough :heart:
"Rika, iha... Kami muna rerelyebo sayo dito... Hindi pwede si Eula ngayon e, overtime sa trabaho... E wala naman kaming gagawin nitong si Dan... Pwede na kayong umuwi muna..." (Rika, dear... We're going to be your substitutes here... Eula can't make it... overtime at work... Dan and I don't have anything to do anyway... So you can go home now...)Don't call her dear!!! :mon fire:
As soon as the door closed, and Mayumi was surely out of sight, Rika cried. Hitomi simply embraced her, assisted her as they walked back to her car and whispered to Rika repetetively. "Don't be afraid... I'm here and I love you..."Poor Rika... It's a reminder that you can't runaway from the past completely, nor does it just disappear when the sunsets like you hoped! :mon cry:

We all love you :gmon heartu: Whether it sounds shallow to some or not, having a place to escape like this is for you, is incredibly important and I'm glad we can encourage you to keep going with this... I love coming every day to check if there is an update, and even if there isn't, I enjoy seeing what others think of what is going on for our IshiYoshi... You made me a big IshiYoshi fan too (YoMiki still win in my eyes though :P) and I know that would make you happy to hear so thank you~!
Hitomi embraced her but Rika pulled away. She didn't want to be touched. The trauma resurfaced. The memories she had repressed were coming back to her conscious. She sobbed as she pushed Hitomi away.NOOOOOOO!!! Made me all teary eyed :cry: Don't take a step back Rika, you need Yossy to look to the future with you... There is no way you could get through this alone, let your Prince Charming guide you by the hand... I hope there isn't too many of these moments when Rika gets lost in her past and mistakes Yossy... Could you imagine how much that would rip Yocchan's heart apart with guilt if they were conserving water and that happened :mon runcry:
"Ka-chan... It's me!" Hitomi persisted and wrapped her arms around Rika despite the latter's protests. "It's me. To-chan..."
But Rika continued to struggle against the embrace. "Wag po...Tito... please!" (Tito, please don't!)
Hitomi only held Rika tighter and closer to herself. "Ka-chan... ... Mahal kita..."
Rika went limp in Hitomi's arms, after realizing what she was doing. "Gomen~..."
Finally, for the first time since leaving the hospital. Rika smiled.Now that's the Yoshizawa effect :w00t:
Rika found herself in the middle of the room, surrounded by innumerable dandelions.OH... MY... GOD!!! How gorgeously romantic can one person be :mon lovelaff: :mon inluv: :wriggly: And such perfect timing too... the one day Rika could really use something like this to take her mind off things, gosh, she must feel like she is in heaven when with Yossy and only her :mon angel: She totally deserves it though! :heart:
Hitomi hugged her from behind. "Just in case you didn't know, you've been staying here for a month already... This is my gift to you..."
Rika felt giddy. The bouquet was already something in itself but this... this was over the top. "To-chan... don't tell me all these came--"
"--from home..." Hitomi kissed Rika's ear.
"... You're all so good to me..." Rika turned around and pulled down Hitomi by the collar of her blouse and kissed her. "You're such an amazing person..."Ohhh, sexy dominant Rika... sooo hot! :drool: She should do that more often, make Yossy weak at the knees... Maybe she should do that when they go to bed tonight, nothing below the chest of course... Don't wanna freak her out too much :pimp: Or a really really nice relaxing back/shoulder massage... Oh yes, Yossy do that!!! :inlove: :otomerika:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHARMY PREVAILS!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~HELLZ YEAH BABY!!! :mon XD:

Well, when you think about it, it would have been a MUCH better deal (and probably easier too), to get a whole whack of flowers shipped compared to just one bouquet. :P... yossui, good businessman... amazing lover... :yep:
Still pretty amazing though that she was able to do it. :yep:
Hello? Romantic time alone?both points :yep:
Shiba-chan's pretty damn cool here too. :D
food :lol::rofl:
now conserve water to clean off those tears! This sucks! Cause Rika was gonna finally do it with Yoshi but now the trauma has resurfaced and she probably wont let her touch her! MAaaan! This really really sucks!... hmm... we'll see... (i think you get the most "we'll see's" from me... :lol:)
anyway, I had this reeeeeeeally long response before you posted this chapter... in fact it was longer than JFCenedy's coment. But I smell foulplay and deceit since I left my computer alone for a minute and it restarted.. so I got angry and didn't post again for a while..... sorry :(is there no hope of you posting at least half of that zooper long (longer than JFC's) comment? i'm really curious about what you wrote there...
also, I came up wit a nickname for Chiisato okai okay? I dunno if it's unprecedented but here it is : Chiky! oooh ya! Like it?pretty good... hmm... at first, sounds a bit awkward but i think it does fit just fine...

HELLZ YEAH BABY!!! :mon XD:
I told ya, I'd give you a big juicy comment :gmon twirl: :gmon sing: :gmon sweet:thanks, girl!
She froze at feeling Rika's breasts pressed on to her back.:mon bleed2:
"To-chan... make me forget... ... about him...":gmon shy: :gmon tears:
"To-chan... make me forget... ... about him..."
we're all thinking the same thing :yep: :twisted:"To-chan... make me forget... ... about him..."
WOAH!! :w00t: Is this what we all think it is? Has Rika had a sudden change in heart? If so I wonder if this is the best way to deal with it ( :yep:) Can't wait to find out.
By the way your brain still seems in wonderful working condition to me! :mon loveflower: :heart: :heart:
if you want something to happen, now's the best time to negotiate with me and attempt to convince me7 1444 sets = make our thoughts come true! how 'bout that? :bingo:
if you think a perv is coming soon, now's the best time to try to get access to the Perv if you haven't gained access yetso i need to wait for three years to read that chap?!
if it doesn't happen, it doesn't (or it happens later hahaha)...:lol: at least it will happen :w00t:

The pajama top was still quite open.:mon thumb: For some reason, I read that and giggled like a little kid!!
After a loud unrestrained yawn, Hitomi embraced Rika. "What's for breakfast?"
I kind of don't like that Yossui uses alcohol for tension relieving...i tried hiding the alcoholic stuff but she just keeps on finding it! :lol:
...
then just the doki doki stuff
soooo adorable :wub:
AWWWW!!! :mon lovelaff: Rabu Rabu!!!! So adorable!the whole time i was writing that update i was giggling like a highschool girl! thanks for taking the time to comment!
:mon thumb: For some reason, I read that and giggled like a little kid!!

XD see you! :lol: @ ice cream: i hear you on that! today's an important day... i don't think ice cream would be on our breakfast menu... thanks for that hilarious comment~
still here. And not going anywhere. Unless mum gets home and tells me there's like some freak accident and ice cream is in danger...... oh how I love thee Ice cream... btw, I've eaten it for breakfast as well and it was great... except it gave me the runs... XD let's just say when you're meeting someone for the first time, you don't want to spend the first 20 minutes of the movie you're about to watch in a public restroom @_@
“… Being the head of this household, I demand that you eat that half…” Hitomi was steadfast. "You will eat that half..."
f you have free time, take him/her to a beautiful spot and arrange a nice date in the nature. If you don't, a romantic dinner might do the deal.
Also, if he/she is working tomorrow, a bouquet of flowers sent to his/her workplace. Provoking the envy of your workmates is one of the best gifts one can get
FIRST IN!!!!!I like writing this too when i'm 'first in' :lol:
alright. Yossie and Rika are just so lovey dovey and I love it No matter how many variations in pairings my all time favorite will be Ishiyoshi, even though I am not the biggest fan of Rika this is just to perfectIshiYoshi is the tru+h... :lol:

Hey tru! I'm back! Maybe not for good but oh well...Nice updates! :wub: I love the way ishiyoshi develops. It just twitches a string or two in my heart.I'm glad you liked how the story is turning out so far... i missed you!
Sorry for the lack of updates. Sorry.you don't need to apologize... school's important too... so i understand... but really, girl... i missed you... i missed you a lot...
Hitomi restrained herself from eating more than her alloted half.:lol:
Ayumi sure did a lot to make this happen. She picked everything carefully (after demanding a raise for her services) to make sure everything was perfect. She even arranged some of the flowers herself.Slick, very slick. Excellent timing on that, Shiba-chan. O0
Rika embraced Hitomi tightly from behind. She froze at feeling Rika's breasts pressed on to her back.If that happened to me I'd be "heating up". :D
She tried turning around to face Rika but she would not let go of the very, very, very tight hug. Hitomi was surprised at what Rika whispered after kissing her ear.:o
"To-chan... make me forget... ... about him..."
a perv chapter isn't the only thing people request for in this fic...This is JPH!P, you've been here long enough that you should have been able to figure that out. :rofl:
Hitomi looked down at the floor. “This is a serious matter…” Some petals have fallen on the carpet. Although it was a pretty sight, it was also hard to clean up. “I thought you aren’t ready…” Hitomi stalled.Sort of odd that Yossi would be turning Rika away right now, especially considering how "forward" she usually has been when it came to this sort of thing. However she does have a point here. Yossi has made it a point to restrain herself so that Rika would be absolutely, 100% comfortable with taking their relationship to that next level. When that happens, she wants to be simply/purely because it was their choice, and that there was nothing that could have prompted or influenced it's happening in a way that would cause either of them regret down the road.
“I thought you wanted this… I thought you wanted me…”
“… I do… and no one in this world would want you as much as I do... but… not now… not like this…
I don’t want to make mistakes… not again…”Uh-oh. :sweatdrop:
Again?
“I know it’s not your intention but… I’m not comfortable… being used like that…” Hitomi took Rika’s hand, kissed her ring and rested the hand on her lap.It might be a little harsh to hear, but it's good that she's being honest with Rika about this.
“If we had met under these same circumstances five years ago, we would be busy in bed right now...” She looked a t Rika in the eye. “I would use you and would let you use me… … That was me… back then…”Something tells me we (and Rika) are about to find out something pretty darn significant about Yossi's past.
“ … You must know you won’t be my first time… …” Hitomi kept her eyes away from Rika. She was not ashamed of her past but she wasn’t proud of it either. “Fujimoto and I… we were together… a long time ago…”Yeah...I'd that that was pretty significant.
*YOSSI'S MIKI STORY*Holy crap. :shocked:
Hitomi knelt down in front of Rika. “What happened to you… with them… with him… No matter how bad it is, it’s already a part of your memory… I don’t think anything I do could make you forget… You understand?”Wise words. :yep:
Rika just nodded. There was nothing more to say.
“I don’t want to wake up one morning thinking that all I am to you is a remedy to your pain. Although I want to be that, I don’t want to be JUST that. I want to be everything to you… Because that’s what you are to me… When we do make love someday… I want it to be about us… not just me wanting to do it… not just you wanting to forget about what had happened… I want it to be about what we have and what we want for the future… I want it to be a way for us to know each other more… better… deeper…”
*YOSSI MONOLOGUE AT HER DESK*:k-sad:
The moonlight that flowed in from the window shone on her skin and illuminated her perfection. The pink nightie (the second one from the set of five) seemed to turn into silver as it draped over her body. The body she offered me just this evening. The offer I rejected.Because it was the right thing to do at the time. :yep:
Damn.
Why did I turn her down?
"To-chan..." She called to me again as she patted the space beside her on the bed.Whoa. Rika has NO idea how tough she's making things for Yossi right now.
I laid down beside her. I laid motionless.
"Won't you kiss me goodnight?" She slightly got up, supported by her elbow as she asked me. I suddenly panicked. I can't. I don't want to contaminate her sweetness with the alcohol on my lips. I do not want to corrupt her perfection.
She didn't wait for my response. The next thing I knew, her lips were on mine. My eyes closed themselves shut as I lost myself in her kiss.
After pulling away, she rested her head on my chest. She listened to the beating of my heart.
With her sweet voice, she imitated the steady beat. "Do-ki..Do-ki..Do-ki.." Did she know that my heart beats only for her? I don't know.
I suddenly felt her hands unbuttoning the first two buttons of my pajama top. All trails of thought ceased. I suddenly felt panic like an electric current that ran through all my nerves. My eyes popped open and I wanted to protest but I cannot find the strength to do so.
She ran her hand across my chest slowly, as if she was looking for something. Her hand stopped in the middle where my heart was and kissed the spot where the beat felt the strongest. "Do-ki..do-ki.."
She laid her head on my chest again and dozed off. I closed my eyes and let sleep take over.
She's here with me and that was all that mattered.
@JFC: Pare, sorry hindi na kita na-hintay na maka-comment... Miss na kita...Huwag ka mag alala, mare. Naan dito pa ako. Ang bagal lang 'ko. :P
There was a drop of drool on her pillow and strangely, it made Rika smile. The perfect prince drools in her sleep.Yossi = :drool: (but with her eyes shut)
Rika watched Hitomi ever so closely. Her chest rose and fell as she breathed steadily. The pajama top was still quite open. Rika ran her hand across the chest again, without regard for Hitomi's sleep. She really wished Hitomi would wake up now.Why do I have the feeling this "groping" might lead to something "inappropriate" being unconsciously spoken by Yossi?
Rika's eyes popped open when she heard another soft groan and she felt Hitomi's arm on her shoulder. Hitomi had awaken. "Ka-chan? Ohayou... ... .."Whew...
"Ohayou, To-chan..."
After a loud unrestrained yawn, Hitomi embraced Rika. "What's for breakfast?":wahaha:
Rika watched the slice of butter melt in the center of the frying pan. After a heated debate and a piggyback ride to the kitchen earlier, she and Hitomi have agreed to have omellete for breakfast. She poured the beaten egg from the bowl slowly.Piggyback ride is so CUTE!!! :cow:
Hopefully, Hitomi would enjoy this morning's breakfast after her cold shower.This is funny for 2 reasons.
Hitomi sliced the omelette in half. “I’ll just eat half so you can eat a heavy breakfast… It’s gonna be a long day for us…” She secured on her plate, her coveted half, leaving the other on the serving plate for Rika.Don't forget Shiba-chan. :grin:
Rika looked at the half that Hitomi left for her. “To-chan… this is too much for me…”
“Well, you’ll be needing a whole lot of energy… There’s the drive to the office, there’s Ayaka and Mai, there’s the board meeting with the international board, there’s Ayaka and Mai, there’s the meeting with Matsuura’s people, there’s Ayaka and Mai, then there’s the meeting with Ken and Seito, and there’s Ayaka and Mai, finally, you have to go to the hospital after all those meetings to look after Jr. So you need to eat more...”
Rika giggled. “Are Ayaka and Mai that energy-consuming?”
“Well, I’m pretty sure they’ll be harassing both of us later. I don’t know why but… I can feel it.”
@JFC: ... /me hands JFC a barf bagWhat? I'm a raburabu fan, but even I can only take so much sweetness (and the dentist's office was still closed). :P
here... ... i spent two days thinking of that! ... meanie... :(
in the next hundred updates...Oh boy...:sweat:
no more updates for today...JFC's comment sent my soul running away from me again... j/k ... i'm just busy
. “Ishikawa’s daughter is in the Philippines and has made a 10 million US Dollar investment in Matsuura’s Company.”
The noise from the staff suddenly halted as Mai caught a whiff of Rika’s scent today “… *sniff* … Rika-chan… … you smell different today… *sniff sniff* Have you been sleeping in Yoshiko’s room? Check it out, Ayaka…”:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
“Oh!” Ayumi suddenly exclaimed. “I just remembered something.” She took out a Girbaud wallet from her bag. “Yocchan asked me to get this for you.” She handed the wallet to Rika who immediately opened it to see it’s contents. “There’s a Visa there and a Mastercard, each having a credit limit of US$50,000 for emergencies and P10,000 cash…”($_$) that's a fortune! ($_$)
“YOSHIKO!!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO RIKA-CHAN, YOU THOUGHTLESS BUFFOON?!”
The noise from the staff suddenly halted as Mai caught a whiff of Rika’s scent today “… *sniff* … Rika-chan… … you smell different today… *sniff sniff* Have you been sleeping in Yoshiko’s room? Check it out, Ayaka…”Hot damn those two are GOOD! :lol:
“Gomen, Rika-chan…” Ayaka leaned closer to Rika. Her nose didn’t catch the sweet smell she was used to. She then turned to Mai. “No doubt… I’ve done her laundry enough to memorize the scent of that room…”
They know I slept in her room just by smelling me?!?! This is just wrong.
Ayumi walked back closer to the three. “Oi, Rika-chan… Is there something you’re not telling me?”Didn't I say "Don't forget about Shiba-chan?" :D
“Oh!” Ayumi suddenly exclaimed. “I just remembered something.” She took out a Girbaud wallet from her bag. “Yocchan asked me to get this for you.” She handed the wallet to Rika who immediately opened it to see it’s contents. “There’s a Visa there and a Mastercard, each having a credit limit of US$50,000 for emergencies and P10,000 cash…”Hmmm...how much do May and Dan owe Baldo again?
Rika thought after a month of living with Hitomi would be enough to reorient her to the life of the rich but it seems she was mistaken. Ayaka gently pushed the door open, Mai un-gently pushed them all aside.Oh c'mon. At most banks it takes at least a couple of weeks for a credit card application to be processed, approved, and the card itself mailed to the applicant. :P
“YOSHIKO!!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO RIKA-CHAN, YOU THOUGHTLESS BUFFOON?!”
The noise from the staff suddenly halted as Mai caught a whiff of Rika’s scent today “… *sniff* … Rika-chan… … you smell different today… *sniff sniff* Have you been sleeping in Yoshiko’s room? Check it out, Ayaka…”
“Gomen, Rika-chan…” Ayaka leaned closer to Rika. Her nose didn’t catch the sweet smell she was used to. She then turned to Mai. “No doubt… I’ve done her laundry enough to memorize the scent of that room…”
¥24,400 (Yen)
Oh man that chapter was absolutely hilarious!XD
I think it's mainly funny because just...damn how much money can Yossui have XD (plus of course them knowing Rika slept in Yossuis bed is just funny too)
First update: AWWWW~ Fluff, just the way I like it!!... revel... you might miss it (in a few updates)...
Second update: JIN?! Haven't heard that name in a while! He better keep his ass away of our girls! :tama-mad:He has to pop up again sometime, right?

drowning in the sweet chocolate river, oh look, fairy floss clouds, I wonder if this marshmallow boat can help me to the shore, where the green green jelly bean forest starts, oh no, look out, the jelly dinosaur is out to get me! Don't eat the sweeety dinosaur! eat the jelly babies instead! They are just begging for it! Look at those lil buddha look alikes! All yummy and gummy and *drool*i get it, sweeety... i'm almost done with that phase...
however the most important part was the fabulous M.A.S. trio discovering that Rika and Yossie were sleeping together just by sniffing her... HAHA how are they gonna explain this XDwow... fabulous M.A.S. ... UFA should've made a unit of them... :lol: ... we'll see...
Crap, Jin still has stooges loyal to him, and they've obviously been able to place themselves in positions where they can get info to relay to him that he otherwise wouldn't get (such as Rika's investment in Aya's company).Jin: Boo!
/me shakes his fist at the stooges.
Nacchi's there! And she's on Aya's side! :w00t:
Hot damn those two are GOOD! :lol:they just know yossui so well...
Didn't I say "Don't forget about Shiba-chan?" :Dyes you did...
Hmmm...how much do May and Dan owe Baldo again?15,000 ... Rika's 5,000 short... :lol:
/me strokes his chin in a thoughtful manner.
Oh c'mon. At most banks it takes at least a couple of weeks for a credit card application to be processed, approved, and the card itself mailed to the applicant. :Pthis will be extrapolated later... in the cafeteria...
2 paper bills and coins XD but enough for a yakiniku meal :grin:is that how expensive yakiniku is? in here you can buy two live cows with P10,000 ...
is that how expensive yakiniku is? in here you can buy two live cows with P10,000 ...Yeah, meat is a seriously major deal up in Japan. :yep:
Ayaka grabbed Mai's arms with urgency. She knew what Mai was mad about but it wasn't appropriate to talk about these things in Rika's presence. "Yoshiko... ah... Maichin and I will be preparing the conference room now... Here's Rika..."Picturing this...and it's major ROFLs.
Ayaka shoved Rika into the room seconds before she and Ayumi toiled to drag a protesting Mai away from the office and as far as possible from Rika's auditory range.
From behind the office doors, Mai yelled to Hitomi a warning for what was coming her way this lunch break. "You better find yourself a helmet, Yoshiko!"
"What was that all about?" Hitomi, confused about the whole ordeal,
"Ka-chan, if you don't keep that wallet, you're telling me that you don't love me." Hitomi crossed her arms.First time I've heard a woman turn down a wallet with money/credit cards. Then again, it's also the first time I've heard "the partner" say the woman had to keep it. XD
Rika gave up, putting the wallet in her purse. "Fine..."
"Good..." Hitomi went to her desk, arranging and reviewing some papers.
Apparently, she’s called for an emergency meeting with her legal team… and… Ayaya said hi…”Oh boy. :O
“Oh…That’s too bad… I was looking forward to seeing Ayaya and Miki-chan again…”
“Ka-chan… I said Ayaya won’t be able to make it… Fujimoto will be there. She’ll stand in Ayaya’s place.”
“Miki-sama, Ayaya-sama is very busy right now. An unforeseen crisis that may sever her ties with Yoshizawa-sama has arisen. You will not need to do much as it is really the new board members who are going to be addressed by Yoshizawa-sama.”"Unforseen crisis?"
Ayaya-sama promises to make it up to you as soon as all problems have been resolved.”I wonder if the assistant knows what Aya "meant" by this? ;D
“Fine… Just tell Ayaya that she’ll have to bring in the goods to make up for this…”
Jin was fuming inside the limousine. The roads were swamped with cars and there was no way he can make it to either offices of the Yoshizawa group or Matsuura Motors. He kept on looking at the slip of paper doubting the authenticity of the news. Was it pure coincidence?Oooooooooooh...he's even more involved than we thought, isn't he? :banghead:
“Could it be that… hmm… that girl…” Jin spoke to himself inside the vehicle. “Ishikawa’s daughter… …?”
If that is the case, fate is on my side
She really isn't the business typenope but that's why she's perfect for you Hitomi...:hee:
darn just as i expected, the meeting couldnt go smoothlyif things would go smoothly, i might as well end this fic here and now... joke... :lol: ... but really... this is the break i've been waitin for...
lol I really like how Hitomi and Rika balance each other out so well...after reading your fic's latest chapter, reading a comment like this from you inspires me to work harder... thanks! off topic: WCaHc is awesome...
Hitomi has a real sharp, professional, demeanor who focuses so seriously on the business end of things while Rika is softer and less corporate who cares about things like relationships and family. The two of them need each other so badly it makes you wonder how they were able to go through the first part of their life without the other being there...
sheesh, look at me rambling on, especially since I haven't read any fics in a while and am sorely behind in this one, but the interactions between Ishiyoshi (however simple) in all your chapters really strike a cord with me.QuoteShe really isn't the business typenope but that's why she's perfect for you Hitomi...:hee:
Yossie is sooo kakkoi :luvluv1:i know! :luvluv1:
Well, the meeting seemed to go well until JIN :angry: popped up. I wonder why the hell he was at Matsuura Motors! But professional Miki is hotness!!! Love how Yossy is more kakkoii than her brother! :lol:... this appearance by jin is the start of something... and since i don't think i can extrapolate on this on the fic, i'll explain it here: he was stuck in traffic remember? he really wanted to get to the meeting. it just so happens that Matsuura's was closer. He half-ran-half-commuted to the building...
Kabutomushi would've been proud of me if she saw me kick his ass Miki smiled to herself as she watched Jin walk awayAwww, Miki isn't as cold hearted to Yossy as she seemed to be before :heart:
Rika stared up the screens in the conference hall. There were people from all over the world who were seated in their own conference rooms, waiting for the meeting to commence. All of them were on except two. She then gazed at Hitomi who was standing beside the podium waiting for everybody to get settled.So who's missing? :?
Rika didn't know this but Hitomi was going to introduce her as the new member of the Matsuura Motors board.Uh-oh. This might not be the best move to do (at least not without informing Rika). It doesn't exactly inspire confidence when you introduce a new board member and he/she seems just as shocked at the announcement as the rest of the board members are.
Another thing that worried her was Ayumi who had warned her against getting Rika involved in business.Well, nevermind the fact that Rika's a complete unknown to the other board members. You can't exactly expect them to have full trust/confidence in someone that they've only just met. There's also the potential for a lot of shit to go down if/when the other board members find out that Rika and Yossi are a couple (ie. accusations of using Rika as a puppet to illegally gain control of the company, etc). Yossi could be putting a big target spot on Rika's head right now.
One of the screens that were turned off lit up to life. Ken was seated at a round table with the Tokyo Board. "Good day, Yoshizawa-Hitomi-san."Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Smart move. By waiting until the last minute to connect to Matsuura Motors, she can minimize the speculation from the others regarding Aya's absence.
...
The projector to the last screen was turned on. Miki and the board of Matsuura Motors appeared on the screen..
Rika looked at the woman her love spoke to. From the expressions on their faces, you wouldn't be able to tell that they have had a tumultuous relationship in the past. It's either they've really gotten over it or they're professional actresses.It's probably a bit of both. Sure they probably didn't part on the best of terms, but it's not like their entire relationship was all bad, right?
Hitomi's introduction was interupted by the loud slamming open of a door at Matsuura's. At the door was Jin, still catching his breath and drenched in sweat. Apparently he ran to the office from wherever. "Hitomi!!"What the frak?!?!?
Miki, alert quickly apologized to all the parties present and went offline immediately.Miki-sama with the save!
Board members from other countries were surprised by this and looked to Hitomi for answers.
"I am sorry for that disruption. We cannot proceed with the meeting without Matsuura's party. We will continue with this meeting as soon as it is most convinient to all. Again, I am deeply sorry."
Simultaneously, all screens were shut off. The whole Yoshizawa executive board was offline.
"Won't we be talking to Ken anymore?"That's not such a bad thing. :wub:
"We will... I just had a link set up in my office before the meeting. We will meet up with Ken there."
Rika was relieved. More than business, seeing and speaking with Ken was important.
Hitomi thought that her whole day was ruined by her father but surprisingly, a smile managed to escape her lips at seeing Rika being excited about seeing her brother. She really isn't the business type
"I'm asking you, what the hell is wrong with you, old goat? You think you own this place?" Miki crossed her arms, talking straight to the face of the father of her ex. "Don't think you can just barge into meetings like that, old man! THIS ISN'T A YOSHIZAWA OFFICE!!!"Frakkin' hell, Jin actually thinks that he's got authority in another person's company just because he's an acquaintance? He's got some SERIOUS control issues (namely being, he thinks he still has/should have some).
"How dare you... " was all Jin could manage to say.Neither Miki nor Yossi under their parents' roofs anymore. They've obviously grown up and are running their respective businesses on their own. Miki's dad appears to have realized this, and has obviously given up trying to control Miki's life. Unfortunately, it appears that this is a concept that Jin can't seem to grasp.
"No... How dare YOU!"
"Just wait until your father hears about this..."
"TELL HIM! Go ahead! See if I care... If you want, I'll call him myself!" Miki took out her cellphone and dialled her father's number. "Oi. Yeah, it's me. Don't get all mushy with me. I have no plans of speaking to you, really. Your friend's here. I think he wants to tell on me." Miki called to Jin. "Oi, old goat, heads up!" Miki threw her phone to Jin's direction before looking the other way.
"Itai!" The cellphone hit Jin square on the forehead before it fell to the floor. Jin quickly picked up the phone. Surely, it was his associate. "Fujimoto. Yes, it's me... I'm at Matsuura's. Your daughter here threw her phone at me... ... What do I plan to do about it?! I had her call YOU so YOU can do something about it! What?! ... Hitomi didn't tell me! What?! ... damn..."
Jin hung up, defeated. Apparently, Miki's father could do nothing. Miki has moved out of the family residence a while back and they haven't spoken for more than a month. He handed the phone back to Miki as he staggered to the door. He needed a breath of fresh air as his migraine was starting to kick in.HELLZ YEAH! POINT MIKI! :rockon:
Kabutomushi would've been proud of me if she saw me kick his ass Miki smiled to herself as she watched Jin walk away.
"Have a nice day, Ms. Vice President..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHARMY PREVAILS!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Actually, in this particular chapter...MIKI PREVAILS!!! (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/DancingMikiRUkare.gif)
Kabutomushi would've been proud of me if she saw me kick his ass
OH YEAH!!!! :farofflook: MIKI-SAMA!!! She kicks ass, it's just that simple!!! I just love how she calls her own dad and all that! Kabutomushi isn't the only one whose proud of you!! :mon inluv:i'm proud of her too... if yossui knew how she pwned jin with her phone, yossui would've given a new one
Love you tru!! :heart:
wow... a super strong career girl... well done miki... :k-great:... thank you! miki-sama's out to punish evil old goats....
deserve those old goats right... jus get them all out from the board... haha... :hiakhiakhiak:
tru_harmony u're a veri good writer... keep it up... :luvuluvu:
YEAAH !!:luvluv1:
Our Miki-sama kicked his ass :hiakhiakhiak: :hiakhiakhiak:
Totally in love with this side of her :luvluv1:
... i miss you and Yuki (YoMiki people :lol: ) ... i think what she did was what Ayaya would've wanted her to do... which makes me wonder? where is Ayaya in the midst of all this action?Kabutomushi would've been proud of me if she saw me kick his ass Miki smiled to herself as she watched Jin walk awayAwww, Miki isn't as cold hearted to Yossy as she seemed to be before :heart:
I love how strong & determined Miki is in this :mon inluv:
I waiting for the doom to kick in seeing you keep saying be prepared, so each time I read an update I'm holding my breath hoping that it's not in this one and every little thing that happens I think maybe it will turn out to be a bad thing... Like now, I'm thinking Miki and Yossy get a little something something on again... Despite that being unlikely coz of ur IshiYoshiness XD
I think I'm going insane with this impending doom :lol:
love is in there somewhere :cow:depends on what kind of love you're talking about...
research has proven that IshiYoshi fics fare better after a round of rabu rabu.....i wouldn't side with him, sweeety... but... if it happens, it happens... if it doesn't, it doesn't...
studies show us that rabu rabu in fics is vital......
readers who read this story think a bit of rabu rabu is overdue......
63.8% of readers think they should shower together to conserve water.....
25.5% of readers don't know what's going on or do not speak english or something.....
the rest of these people are horrible environment hating anti hippy liberals such as Cartman and Hitler.....
you wouldn't side with Hitler..... would you? =3
Knowing how hard it is to think of anything to satisfy Wei's persistence Hitomi leaned closer to Rika's ear and whispered a suggestion. "What's the most important thing from your old house?"Omgass, letters that young Rika wrote to young Yossi!!! :o
"But... He probably won't be able to find it..."
"Just tell him... just so he'd stop asking..."
Rika looked up and told Wei what she wanted. "I want you to find me my bag of letters. It's heart-shaped and pink... I don't know if it's still around because I left it a our house in Kanagawa five years ago..."
Wei wore a satisfied look on his face. "Letters? Have you actually mailed these letters?"
"Yes, but they were returned to me... The addressee moved house during our correspondence and she didn't tell me where she moved... All the letters have 'return to sender' stamped on them..."
"May I know who the addressee is?"
"I don't even remember... I was very young when I wrote those letters... and I haven't seen these letters in years... if you find them, please send them over..."
im just going to go on record and say that wei is the third coolest kid on the blockand the coolest thing about this kid is that he's older than yossui's dad!
Yossie and her brother are really similar :sweat: ...but Yossie is still more kakkoi :luvluv2:Yossui did raise the boy... what else is there to expect?
aw so sweet, only rika can stop yossie from arguing haha,rika has no idea how powerful a woman she is...
Letter huh? Guess we'll have to see where you're taking us huh?yeah... guess so...
Awww, family time!!!!!!!!!!! :inlove: I guess Wei really didn't like Miki.family means a lot to both yossui and rika... :yep: ... in a manner of speaking, wei didn't...
Definitely love the dynamic between Yossi, Rika, and Ken. It's obvious that the 3 of them fit very well together (each in their own way). :)... depends on when and how these letters will find themselves in yossui's possession...
Omgass, letters that young Rika wrote to young Yossi!!! :o
Ooooooooooooooo this is going to REALLY get interesting now. :yep:
wow... Wei and Ken did like Rika alot from those conversation... it's a good thing...rika's really the nurturing type... yossui's the protective type... :inlove: so perfect together!!! :inlove:
all of them are approving their relationship... :omamori:
can feel tat Rika will be a veri good mother... haha... see how she protect Ken during the coversation... haha... :on lol:
hehe! Rika blushing at Hitomi's teasing about getting married is soo adorable! :shy2: and Ken is awsome! He's such a good guy. lol, Hitomi better watch out it looks like she has some playful competition for Rika's heart ;):wub:
I esp. love how when Hitomi was bickering with Ken Rika was able to soothe her and keep her under control...Ahhhh~ :heart: someone's got it ba-ad~ :wub:
ooh letters gonna get revealed! i bet its chimu's letter for yocchan! :w00t:no need for bets... but it's a bit early for revelations regarding those letters...
May I state the obvious?no need to ask for pemission... you stated the obvious anyway
Rika wrote letters to Yossui when she was young <3yeah... you got that right...
and sadly Yoshi had moved.....
Yoshi and Rika met when they were children probably through their parents when they were making that deal.nope
They got along well and allyes~...
but after a while the thing with Yoshi's mum happened and her dad took her away.No...
Either way Yoshi had to move because of teh thing with her mum as if it wasn't when it happened it was when she had to move and go to bussiness school to manage the company.Yossui's house burnt down...
Yoshi in High School became friends with Ayaka and Mai and stuff.middle school...
Yoshi was forced onto Miki. They fell in love but were both too stubborn to admit it. Neither of them wanted their parents to be right so they pretended to have problems and fights.yes...
Yoshi pretended to sleep around and Aya bought it.Miki pretended to get hurt... Yossui... sometimes pretended...
Although it was all supposed to be fake and no one was supposed to get hurt it was in fact real and both girls were heart broken when the joke of a breakup became reality. Miki was hurt when Yoshi ignored her and cheated to get back at her dad and Yoshi was hurt in turn when Miki moved on to Aya who loved her. That is not to say Miki had healed yet as she still has feelings for Yoshi and vice versa, but they are concealed.yeah...
Meanwhile Rika had moved with her stepmum to Philys cause they was running out of dough and they needed some help.in a manner of speaking, yes...
They moved in with those pplz and shit and were fine untill her stepma got a new bo. Then his drunk horny ass tried to hit on Rika who was repulsed by this vile piece of shit and turned him down. He tried to force her but his drunk ass was stopped luckilly. Anywayz her smum still thought she put the moved on that dickhead and went out for blood, selling her to a shitty pimp.yes...
She used up the money and as Rika was being transported to him she was released by our resident knight in shinning armour Yoshi. Yoshi fell for her
and they are suddenly realising that this nostalgic feeling they get is because they did in fact meet before.plus the circumstances in which they met... and some similarities between Rika and the mom...
I can't wait for whatshisname to bring over the letters and for both of them to read them or rather as Rika reads them and tries to stop Yoshi from reading them, she realises they were meant for her aanyway and gives them back to her XDis that what will happen?
anyway, I just hope that Yoshi doesn't buy Rika back after she's been sold and been around the block a few times if you catch me drift.i agree...
Sory I took so long to reply.. I had a life XDand i don't... :lol:
still here.thanks!
Hitomi was bummed. She had wanted Rika to stay until after lunch but the stubborn girl insisted that she leaves almost right after their meeting with Ken and Wei.Right, back to the hospital to stay with JR.
The lift reached it's destination. As the doors opened, Hitomi took a deep breath before stepping closer to the door and to the doom. Even before the doors have fully opened, she can hear Mai's voice. Here goes nothingHoly crap, Mai's STILL GOING?!?!? XD
"YOSHIKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Of course, the ruckus was bound to catch the attention of their rank-and-file employees. Ayaka tried to calm Mai down but the latter just wouldn't let up.
You know you can do better than that! And... we have an idea of what you did with her last night!"Mai's mind is really stuck in the gutter, isn't it? :P
If I remember correctly, you made ME get Miki a shopping spree after your first *ehem* with her!"She did WHAT??? After WHEN?!?!? :shocked:
"Um... Mai..."Yossi = :mon unsure:
"What!"
"... Nothing happened last night..."
"I knew you'd admit right awa-- WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOTHING HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?!?"
She smelled like your room..."Okay, the fact that they can recognize the smell of Yossi's room on Rika (even though she showered soon after waking up)...is kinda creepy. :akachin:
"Well, we share the room now... but really, Mai... Nothing happened last night."
"You shared a bed with her... ... and nothing happened?!"
"Guys, I didn't have sex with Rika last night!"/me pictures Yossi bobbing her head and motioning her hands after each word of this sentence for emphasis a la Bill Clinton.
In a duet, her friends can only look at each other and exclaim. "RIKA-CHAN IS A LIVING MIRACLE!"Only in so much that she was able to keep Yossi tame and "behaved".
RIKA-CHAN IS A LIVING MIRACLE!"and Hitomi must be made of steel. :lol:
It's so funny that they didn't believe that nothing happened XDthey already have an image of what kind of "guy" yossui is...
Although...I probably wouldn't believe nothing happened either
Hahahaha!! Mai!!! She thought they had sex!!! XD Hmm, Yossy had Ayaka and Mai buy stuff for her first time with Miki? Ok, that's weird! :P Hell yeah, Rika-chan's a miracle!!! :wub:Not really buy stuff but Mai arranged for a mall to be closed for half-a-day for Miki's shopping expedition...
Right, back to the hospital to stay with JR.i hate that boy...
Mai's mind is really stuck in the gutter, isn't it? :Pmy mind too...
She did WHAT??? After WHEN?!?!? :shocked:Mai had to arrange for a mall to be closed half a day after the first *ehem* of Yossui with Mikitty...
Okay, the fact that they can recognize the smell of Yossi's room on Rika (even though she showered soon after waking up)...is kinda creepy. :akachin:Yossui's room has a distinct smell... and it sticks... they know the smell so well because they spend a lot of time in there, especially Ayaka...
/me pictures Yossi bobbing her head and motioning her hands after each word of this sentence for emphasis a la Bill Clinton.that's the first time i got a video for a comment... wow...
Only in so much that she was able to keep Yossi tame and "behaved".:mon beam:y'got that right...
heh, ya know the love between them has to be strong for Hitomi to care enough about Rika to keep her hands off her :heart:, so Mai and Ayaka are rightAmen...QuoteRIKA-CHAN IS A LIVING MIRACLE!"and Hitomi must be made of steel. :lol:
its super sweet how Mai and Ayaka are there to defend Rika and keep Hitomi in line, it shows just how much they've grown to love Rika, that they want to protect her. :yep:... they know Rika's been a good influence on Yossui...
I knew it~!i don't think there are legally stoopid ppl here... so i don't think you're stoopid... anyway, thanks, bud! :heart:
not that stoopid ppl like me would know anything.....
anyway did Rika bring a bodyguard with her? I hopez she did.
keep up the work bud.
SUGOI !!!! :on GJ:IMO she can beat any other miracle anyday...
Rika a living miracle :on lol:
Ayaka and Mai are the best :on woohoo:
First time I've heard a writer actually declare hatred for a character he/she made.Right, back to the hospital to stay with JR.i hate that boy...
Yossui's room has a distinct smell... and it sticks... they know the smell so well because they spend a lot of time in there, especially Ayaka...That could be interpreted in an...interesting way if one wasn't already familiar with the story and the nuances of the YAM relationships. :akachin:
*ISHISHIBA STUFF*Okay, Shiba-chan actually STOPS at red lights in Philippine traffic? XD
"... I can't believe you were able to resist the legendary Yoshizawa Hitomi..."Shiba = :mon noprob:
Rika, a bit embarrassed, looked outside. She uttered the words softly, hoping the words were almost inaudible. I just can't lie to you "Um... actually, she resisted me..."
"What?"
"... I asked her if we could do it... and she said no..."
"WHAT?!?" Ayumi suddenly stepped on the brakes. A sudden full stop.
"You. Asked her. And she said no."
"Yeah..."
"Believe it or not, it's the tru+h..."SELF-PIMPAGE PREVAILS!
hilarious !!!!! :w00t: Shiba-chan = :shock: :stoned: Rika = :shy1: me = :on lol:i just realized how Filipino this fic is... there's drama, comedy, romance, a bit of action, suspense... :lol:
Bahahahaha. So funny how she just like stopped the car in the middle of the road out of shock XD Although...I probably would to. I mean...if I was with Yossy...well....I know what you mean... i would too...
"it's the tru+h..." XD I noticed the name drop tru..... now if only you'd drop Yoshi's pants as quickly-no sweeety, we must wait! still here yo ;)XD ... i've name dropped other people before... why can't i name drop me? XD
I hate jin too... but then he's the bad guy...QuoteFirst time I've heard a writer actually declare hatred for a character he/she made.Right, back to the hospital to stay with JR.i hate that boy...
:on cigar:
That could be interpreted in an...interesting way if one wasn't already familiar with the story and the nuances of the YAM relationships. :akachin:exactly my plan! to shock those who're reading this without starting from the first 'chapter'... :twisted:
Okay, Shiba-chan actually STOPS at red lights in Philippine traffic? XDShe's still a law abiding Japanese person wherever she may be
Shiba = :mon noprob: Rika = :mon sweat: Shiba = :mon huh2: Rika = :mon whimper: Shiba = :stunned: Rika = :mon wind:i suddenly had an idea... a fic with emoticons!!! nah...
SELF-PIMPAGE PREVAILS! :wahaha:I think self-pimpage is something Charmy-sama would do... (i recall a specific ASEL episode... Charmy Ishikawa desu~!)
Shiba-chan.... :mon lmao: For some reason, I thought it was gonna come down to Shiba-chan not being able to resist Yossy at one point and turn into that kind of confession... :sweat:I actually contemplated that... but Ayumi ain't that kind of girl...
But I'm glad it didn't because this is so much better!!! Now I'm in a happy mood cuz this was hella awesome! :on gay: <-- :on lol:I'm glad you're in a happy mood... Now I'm in a happy mood too
i just realized how Filipino this fic is... there's drama, comedy, romance, a bit of action, suspense... :lol:As long as it doesn't start to get like Filipino TV dramas with the bad melodrama and people crying every 10 minutes. XD
Hitomi didn't mind as she couldn't be bothered with her meal. She was excavating through a bowl of rice and the chicken adobo on her plate. She didn't even look at her phone, which was lying on the table, when it started ringing.One has to make sure that they say the right thing when trying to get Yossi's attention. :P
"Oi, Yoshiko, won't you answer that?" Mai, disturbed by the generic ringtone which Hitomi used pushed the gadget to Hitomi.
The president still did not pay attention. Nothing could be more important than food.
Ayaka, annoyed at Hitomi's apathy, said tunefully "~That could be Rika-chan on the phone~"
Without looking at her anticipating friends, Hitomi picked up her phone hurriedly.
"Hello? ... oh... AYAYA... ... hmm? ... can't we have a video conference in an hour? I'm in the middle of something important here... ... ... What do you mean Rika's in trouble? ... ... What? .... ... ... USO!"Wait, Aya says that Rika's in trouble? Has to be something with what Jin has been up to and/or what happened to CorPrint. :o
Jo wanted to jump for joy. Sa wakas, maso-solo na kita, Rika (finally, I'll have you to myself, Rika)Jo = :on GJ:
But his happy thoughts died in disappointment when he noticed Ayumi standing behind Rika "... May kasama ka pala..." (...you have company...)Jo = :badluck:
"Oh, yeah... Jo, this is Ayumi Shibata... She's my best friend... Shi-chan, this is Jo...a friend..."Jo = :on blackhole:
A FRIEND?!?! yun lang?!? (is that all?!?)
He shook hands with Ayumi. "Do you work for Hitomi?"Shiba-chan, ever the observant one. Question is...will she tell Rika or Yossi about this? ;D
The bestfriend was taken aback by the interogative boy. "Yes... ... ..." A grin crept up Ayumi's face. Someone's got a threat right here...
"Small world, no?"That last part would probably be pretty painful for Jo to hear.
Rika smiled someone finally noticed and actually said something about it. "Yeah... who knew that my Yocchan and Shi-chan would be working together? I think it's fate..."
Rika smiled someone finally noticed and actually said something about it. "Yeah... who knew that my Yocchan and Shi-chan would be working together? I think it's fate..."
and it's fate tat yossy and Rika together... haha... :omamori:no doubt... ... ........ .
what!!!Rika's in trouble? impossible, yossie is going to be there to save heryossui should... she got rika into trouble...
:shakeit:are you asking me to kiss that? cuz i won't...
Aw, THIS IS UNMEI~~~~~ :wub:Unmei this is... :)
As long as it doesn't start to get like Filipino TV dramas with the bad melodrama and people crying every 10 minutes. XD... i don't think this will go to that direction... XD
One has to make sure that they say the right thing when trying to get Yossi's attention. :Pheirarchy of values: Rika > food
Wait, Aya says that Rika's in trouble? Has to be something with what Jin has been up to and/or what happened to CorPrint. :oi can smell a pin coming into existence....
Jo = :badluck: Jo = :on blackhole:i love tormenting people i hate...
Shiba-chan, ever the observant one. Question is...will she tell Rika or Yossi about this? ;Di wonder... ... ...
That last part would probably be pretty painful for Jo to hear.i just love punishing the guy....
Jo = :k-crazy:
She said MY yocchan :wahaha:Well... the Yocchan IS hers... :lol:
i can smell a pin coming into existence....And the bubble's gotten pretty damn big. :yep:
Hitomi mentally kicked herself for being complacent. Of course Ayaya wouldn't miss a meeting if there weren't any serious problems!Oh, don't tell me it was a Matsuura company that ended up buying out/taking over CorPrint? :shocked:
As the elevator rose, Hitomi tried to recall any instance that could have led to this 'trouble'. Is it about CorPrint? But why is Ayaya involv--- Oh god.
Ang tagal na niyang wala sa kanila. Siguro, si Hitomi at saka si Ayumi ang mga kauna-unahang Hapon na nakita niya sa limang taon... Bakit nga ba sila umalis ng Japan noon? (She's been away from home for such a long time. Hitomi and Ayumi are probably the first Japanese people she's seen in five years... Why did they even leave Japan in the first place?)Makes one wonder...if Jo ever found out the "full story" about ALL (and I mean ALL) that's happened to Rika, would he be as concerned to "woo" her?
Ayumi was busy on her laptop, cross-checking finance reports from the Tokyo and New York Offices. It was a bit weird to be doing her job in a hospital but if it's for Rika, Ayumi didn't really mind.Holy CRAP, she did? Man, now THAT is a PRIME example of true, honest, dedicated friendship, ladies and gentlemen. :O
Like Ayaka and Mai, her primary concern was Rika. But actually, in comparison, Ayaka and Mai were the lucky ones. Their families are more into politics and civil service than business. They didn't have anything to give up in terms of ascendancies in the corporate ladder.
Ayumi gave up vice-presicency of Shibata Financial Conglomerate to become a senior accountant at Yoshizawa's just to look for Rika.
Rika's blissful TV-viewing was disturbed by the simultaneous ringing of her and Ayumi's cellphone. Both received a text message from Hitomi.First she leaves her lunch unfinished, and now this???
"Ayumi, can you eat dinner with Rika? I won't be able to eat with her later. ... And would it be alright if you stay with her at home this evening. Please? You can sleep over if you want. Thank you."
"Ka-chan, I won't be home for dinner later. Something came up. I'm coming home late. I love you."
*your jo rant*honestly, you give the guy too much credit...
See I knew from the start everything would come crashing down and this little piece of paradise would be destroyed. :(don't be too pessimistic... the worst is yet to come... j/k XD
Ah! update soon! I have to know what the 'trouble' is that Rika is in! :mon cute:wish fulfilled! thank god, today's a holiday!
hopefully its not anything to difficult for Hitomi to handle :mon woo: 7th gen love <33 :tama-heart:
omg omg... :OMG: wat happen...??? gosh... i wan a update soon... wanna know wat's going on...??don't panic... the update is here...
tru_harmony relax abit... dun give yourself too much stress... even your writing style not the same, i still will read the story... :hee:thank you...
And the bubble's gotten pretty damn big. :yep:and i wish tito was here because i know she's been waiting for the needle/pin/whatever sharp and pointy object for awhile...
Oh, don't tell me it was a Matsuura company that ended up buying out/taking over CorPrint? :shocked:don't worry, i'm not gonna tell you that it was Matsuura that ended up buying out CorPrint... that isn't the case...
Makes one wonder...if Jo ever found out the "full story" about ALL (and I mean ALL) that's happened to Rika, would he be as concerned to "woo" her?i wonder too...
Holy CRAP, she did? Man, now THAT is a PRIME example of true, honest, dedicated friendship, ladies and gentlemen. :ORika is a lucky girl to have a Yocchan and a Shi-chan... I wish i had a shi-chan too...
First she leaves her lunch unfinished, and now this???It might be... depends...
Frak, this is gotta be HUGE! :on freeze:
:kekeke: TROUBLE !!!!! Is that my awaited drama part :ding:... it isn't yet but this will lead to a drama part...
...*hiding from the other Ishiyoshi fans :hee:*
are you asking me to kiss that? cuz i won't...
"She's his heiress... He filed for bankruptcy... with the ten million yen investment, it appears that she isn't bankrupt and is capable of paying the debt... they're planning to smoke her out with perjury..."
this update: Hehehe, Joseph is foiled again!!! :lol: Oh no, the debt collecters are after Rika because of her father, huh? :cry: Shit!! But I'm glad that Aya is sticking with them, even though her company is being harassed. That's a good friend. I hope Yossy has a plan to fix this. Does Miki know? Because if Aya sent her out so they could talk privately, it seems like she doesn't. Maybe it's better that way for now because Miki will probably get mad at Yossy for getting Aya in that situation.Joseph=doomed
:frustrated: omg... so tat's the happening... those debtors... wonder how the information leak out... it bring problems to yossy and aya... :OMG:yes... for the first time, the Great Yoshizawa Hitomi acted on blindsight... btw, how do you pronounce your username? /risky/?
noooo, stupid debtors, if you harass rika ill kill all of you guys and jo is so annoying , he should know that he has no chance against hitomi so stop making useless movejo, as much as i hate him is rika's friend... actually, you should be thankful he isn't as insistent as some guys here... jo's actually a bit timid... so... that's a good thing...
your call :P :grin:...hmmm... *i'm actually thinking about this" XD .... /me Hugs kRisZ instead
why not go to Canada and marry Rika and antedate it.!?!. so that when they ask, you can say it's from your pocket.?. O0nice suggestion... i'll tell them right away... XD
I bet kakkoi Yossie :luvluv2: will solve this problem :glasses:... but there's already a reasonable amount of damage done... ... ~lalalala~
either way, I still can't wait for the next chapter. I want me some rabu rabu..really? ... hmmm...
Hopefully Rika will get home and find Yoshi there before too long. And Yoshi will tell her what happened and all and they will find a plan and all and make hot sweet rabu rabu.. or at least kiss.Or Yossui will get home and find Rika there... ~hm~
yes... for the first time, the Great Yoshizawa Hitomi acted on blindsight... btw, how do you pronounce your username? /risky/?
update will come later... i'm gonna be late for school na...
Joseph was listening in on the bestfriends' conversation. President? ... New York office? Anong klasenf negosyo ba meron 'tong mga 'to? (What kind of business are these people running anyway?) But at hearing that Hitomi would be coming home late, he saw a chance to spend more time with Rika, he smiled.Poor kid's just a glutton for punishment, ain't he? :grin:
"Um... Ano... Rika..." He was still mentally constructing the sentence in English in his mind. He didn't want to be mess up right in front of Rika and her bestfriend. "... Do you want to go out tonight? I know this place where they serve great sisig*..."That's another thing about Filipino guys (and/or guys in general); we can be getting the tar beaten out of us, and we'd still be too dumb to quit. :P
"Sorry, Jo... I can't... I'm not sure what time Yocchan is going to get home... I want to be there when she arrives... Maybe another time..."
Jo forced the smile on his face to remain to mask his disappointment. Hitomi, Napakaswerte mo. (Hitomi, You are SO lucky.)
Aya signalled to the lawyers to leave. The whole team immediately complied. As they exited, Miki entered the room but she was halted by Aya. "Mikitan, I need to speak with Yoshizawa-san alone."If she asked Miki to leave, does that mean that Miki doesn't know the details about Rika's investment?
Miki, although surprised, stepped back and shut the doors.
Aya clasped her hands. "We're still investigating the matter and a lot of things are still unclear but what I'm sure of is someone from my finance department has spilled information about Rika's investment..."Shit. Whoever that someone is, they've got to be one of Jin's stooges.
Hitomi looked out. The skies were gray. Smog blanketed the city. "Has anything happened due to this leak?"Debtors?!?!? How can that be? When CorPrint was bought out, whoever it was that bought it out would have had to settle any debts that the company owed. Only thing left would be personal debts....
"Ishikawa's debtors..."
She looked down and watched the cars that looked like ants, trailing behind one another. "... they're looking for her..."
Yocchan... they're planning to file a class lawsuit against her..."And of course, they're likely not going to believe that the investment was REALLY made with Yossi's money and that it was just made in Rika's name because she truly is broke. :banghead:
"WHAT?!"
"She's his heiress... He filed for bankruptcy... with the ten million yen investment, it appears that she isn't bankrupt and is capable of paying the debt... they're planning to smoke her out with perjury..."
"...damn..."
"And they're threatening me that they're going to file a suit against me for harboring a fugitive from the law..."
"I'm sorry, Ayaya. I have placed you in a very difficult position..."And of course, Jin's plan is probably to come in suddenly and "heroically" swoop in and offer to take care of the debtors...probably in exchange for controlling interest in the company again.
"Don't be sorry, Yocchan... I'm doing this as your friend and as her friend as well... but we have to do something about this..."
"I need to talk to my lawyers first... Can you stall them?"
"For as long as you need... I will stay in touch and keep you posted... my people will do their best..."
"Yoshizawa-san..." Atty. Konno called to the company president. "... what do you want us to do?"LAWYER KONKON! :muffin:
"Tomorrow, first thing in the morning, contact all the legal counsels of the people involved... Maybe we can negotiate something..."In this case, and with no disrespect to Konkon's skills, but I'd have to disagree with Yossi. They (Matsuura Inc.) are already involved in this matter via the merger, so they should be taking advantage of the additional manpower that's available. The more minds they can bring into it, the wider breadth of knowledge and experience that they'd be bringing to the proverbial table, and thus the better their chances of finding a solution.
"Do you want us to ask Atty. Murata of Matsuura for help on this?"
"No. Don't do that... I have bothered them enough... Just ask for the necessary documents... I don't want to involve them further... I'm pretty sure you can handle this without their help..."
Atty. Konno smiled before bowing to their boss. "Thank you for your confidence, Yoshizawa-san..."
As soon as the privacy was secured Hitomi whispered to the mic. "You know we'll have to work even outside the courtroom on this one..."Konkon knows about The Eyes! :o
"Yes, I understand..."
"Will you need the Eyes?"
"I know they are on a mission right now."
"They are but I can have her come back there if you need her."Awwwwwwwwwwww...Konkon misses Mako! :oops:
"... Yoshizawa-san... she has her work... this is mine... I can handle this..."
A smile managed to escape Hitomi's lips. "I don't know how you can bear to be away from her like this... And it's been how long? ... a month since she flew here?"
Asami blushed. It wasn't everyday that she was addressed by the president like this. "She's only following leads... That's her job..."
Hitomi reclined on her chair. "Don't you get even a bit jealous that she's spending so much time with the other one?"Oh hello? What do we have here? Someone else in The Eyes...has eyes for Mako? :?
"... She's not her type."
"Oh, really?" Hitomi grinned.
Ayumi rested her head on the armrest of the sofa and closed her eyes. I hate Philippine trafficIt's one of those things one has to experience to know just how much it can suck. XD
*RIKA CALLS YOSSI*I need a dentist. ;D
Rika shouldn't know that there's a problem. She shouldn't know...Well, whether she should or should not know is irrelevant. The investment was made under her name, and sooner or later she most likely WILL find out about the problem. It would be better for her to find out now, directly from Yossi, rather than later on down the road from Jin or from some investor or lawyer who shows up looking for the money that they're owed.
She walked to the inner side of her office and leaned down to reach and open a cabinet by the huge shelves.:hip blink:
There it was, her soccer ball.
...
She named it Miki to replace one Miki that she lost that same day.
She walked to the middle of her office and began juggling the football. 1 , 2 , 3, 4 , 5...
Football juggling was Hitomi's way of clearing her mind and focusing her thoughts. Hopefully, this would help her find a way to manage this situation. Miki (the ball) hasn't failed her before. Miki never makes mistakes. Miki never lies. Miki never leaves.
Hitomi finally gave up and caught the ball with her hands. She looked at the ball and with a silly smile said to it "Maybe I should change your name... and maybe I should get home now..."Yeah, it'd be kinda awkward if she had to explain to everyone why she gave the ball that name.
*RIKA+SHIBA-CHAN TALK ABOUT "THE OTHER NIGHT"*Shiba-chan = :mon misch:
Also that was sooooo totally not a straight answer! I mean it was, but to which question? Who is it? Ai? Risa? Reina? Wth?
So is she one of those three?
one of the shortest UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!s in history...I've seen shorter.
Hitomi paced about in the elevator. It was a good thing that traffic wasn't hectic anymore. The rush hour has long passed. But the elevator ride was excruciatingly long. She just wanted to get home and find herself in Rika's arms.Does she know that Shiba-chan's spending the night? She's going to have to be on her best behaviour. :D
The lift finally made it to the 19th floor. Hitomi stepped out quickly and started to their flat. She couldn't wait to see Rika again. It's been more than nine hours since they last saw each other.Counting the hours? Oh yeah...she has it SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad. :yep:
"Come on, Rika-chan... you just have to tell me: 1st, 2nd or 3rd! That's all there is to it!"BUSTED!!!
"No!"
"HA! I BET YOU LET HER GET TO THIRD BASE!" Ayumi pointed an accusing finger to her friend.
"... Actually, she didn't even let me get to the first..." Hitomi interupted.
The realization that Hitomi was already there froze Rika. The two friends turned their heads to see Hitomi standing right behind the couch with her hands on her waist and a huge grin on her lips.
"~I'm home~"
"~I'm home~":grin:
Awww Yossy is so amazingly cute on how she entered the room! :wub:that's what love does... makes everybody amazing.... and fat... :lol:
I love how worried Yossy is about Rika all the time. She always wants to be there. Which is understandable since Rika is so :inlove: LOL at her sneaking around to find Shiba-chan accusing Rika of letting her get to 3rd base! That's hilarious!i think we do... :lol:
Well, we need to find a "To-chan" for Shiba-chan, don't we? :lol:
I've seen shorter. ... ... ... That didn't sound right. XDalthough that didn't sound right, you're right about that... i think i've written shorter ones before... i'm a crazy sick puppy that gouges the eyes of readers turning them into faucets of blood... :lol:
Does she know that Shiba-chan's spending the night? She's going to have to be on her best behaviour. :Dyes, actually, she's the one who asked Shiba-chan to stay with Rika... and even suggested that the bestfriend sleep over...
Counting the hours? Oh yeah...she has it SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad. :yep:if Rika was my gf, i'd count the minutes! XD
BUSTED!!! :wahaha:that's so what happened
Yossi = :on cigar:
Shiba-chan = :mon wtf:
Rika = :mon wtf:
Yossie :XDQuote"~I'm home~":grin:
Ayumi = :shock:
Rika = :stoned:
me = "okaeri nasai" :P
OMG Shiba-chan is just full of awesome XDXD XD XD well, Ayaka and Mai don't exactly get the juicy details from Yossui herself... that's what stethoscopes are for... :lol:
Rika of course she wants to know, she's your best friend!!! I remember being like that with my best friend, my justification was "Well I need to know coz if he breaks your heart I gotta know how much to hate him!" :P Then it got to a point a couple of years later that I had to make her stop telling me, so yeah.. Be careful what you wish for Shiba-chan :mon sweat:
I can't wait for the next chapter, it should be fun :w00t: Even if Yossy tells Rika and it gets all angsty, that's still fun! Although, I think I am becoming so attached to this IshiYoshi that if (or when rather) anything happens to them I will cry XDwell, it's gonna take a while because i'm a bit busy... and i think everyone else here is too... let's see...Yuki, tito, wings (among others) don't come around no more... school is in the air so can't blame them... no shock that i still update often because i'm a sick little puppy...
"~Oh,~I'll~be~heading~to~bed~now~... And don't mind me...~Just~go~on~as~if~I'm~not~here~":kekeke:
...hmmm... *i'm actually thinking about this" ....
* tru Hugs kRisZ instead
@hotohori: i'm getting a vibe that you're like shiba-chan...
After carefully taking hold of the door knob, she open the door and there they were: Ayaka, Mai and Ayumi, with their handy-dandy stethoscopes.
"Good evening, Shiba-chan..."Careful that Rika doesn't get jealous. :grin:
Ayumi forced a laugh from coming out as she greeted her boss. "'Evening, Yocchan" Man, I've always wanted to do that!
"Is everything all right at work?"Yossi probably doesn't want to let Rika in on the details at all, and even if she does she's probably wanting for a solution to be found first before she does. I still say, however, that it would be better in the long run if Rika hear it from Yossi instead of from some random person.
Hitomi feared this question. She didn't want to tell Rika that the problem was really about her but she didn't want to lie either. "Something came up but nothing your To-chan can't handle~"
"Really?"
"Sure." Hitomi replied with a sigh.
Ayumi, although very much enteratained with the scene, felt that they needed a change of venue for the following 'action'. She stood up and turned away from the sweeetness and started to walk to the guest bedroom. "~Oh,~I'll~be~heading~to~bed~now~... And don't mind me...~Just~go~on~as~if~I'm~not~here~"Shiba-chan = :on GJ:
Rika raised an eyebrow in vain as her bestfriend did not even bother to look back.
Hitomi possessively took Rika in her arms "You heard her Ka-chan?"
Rika just kept on giggling like a schoolgirl.
Hitomi pressed her lips against Rika's ear as she whispered, "I think she's rooting for me to get to third base...":wahaha:
"Ka-chan~ no need to be embarrassed~~ anyway, we can always take this to OUR room if you want complete privacy~" Hitomi redirected her weight and moved the arm that was around Rika's waist to under her thighs. Having made sure that her stance was stable, she lifted a struggling-to-get-away-but-failing-anyway Rika from the couch and carried her. "Now, now, don't be too excited~"
Hitomi beamed with a victorious smile as she saw Ayumi, from the corner of her eye,peeking from the tiny gap she left open on the door to the guest bedroom. "Come now, baby... I'm gonna take good care of you..."Oooooooooooooooooooh yeah... :pimp:
As the couple disappeared from view, the senior accountant found herself diving towards the bed, looking for something.Wait a sec...what? :O
Rika = :dunno:
"Did you mean what you said outside about going--"
"to third base? No... unless you want me to..." Hitomi turned away from her again and resumed her walk towards the closet.
Rika was pretty much zoned out while thinking that she didn't notice that Hitomi, who has changed into one of the pajamas from the set, was standing right in front of her already, handing her the nightie 'set' for tonight. "There's that thong there, if you're interested...":on lol:
...
Rika emerged from the bathroom, having washed up and changed, walking with a bit of... ... discomfort...? ... .
Somehow, the two managed to get to the bed without really walking (in the strict sense of the word).:gmon witch:
The kisses from Hitomi we're close to blinding Rika from judgement as she did not protest when she felt Hitomi's hand on her bum. But even without any protest from Rika, Hitomi abruptly stopped, slightly turning her head to the door as if she heard something from the other side.OMGASS THEY WERE THERE!!!
She signalled to Rika to keep quiet as she walked towards the door, taking light steps. Good thing the floor was carpeted. After carefully taking hold of the door knob, she open the door and there they were: Ayaka, Mai and Ayumi, with their handy-dandy stethoscopes.
"Don't you guys ever learn?"
arggg why did they interrupt :farofflook:, hehe but rika in that nighty lace clothe already made my nose bleed :on bleed:technically they didn't interrupt.. yossui herself stopped when she heard the stethoscopes on the door... XD ... i don't tease... :lol:
tru_harmony stop teasing us hahaha
bahahahahahathose three are just excited for the two... XD ...
Those three are just WAY too nosy XDDD
Not saying I wouldn't want to watch...
don´t know what your talking about :on ksweat: :ding:
Noooo BUSTED !!! :on blackhole:they were bound to be found out...
Careful that Rika doesn't get jealous. :grin::grin:
Yossi probably doesn't want to let Rika in on the details at all, and even if she does she's probably wanting for a solution to be found first before she does. I still say, however, that it would be better in the long run if Rika hear it from Yossi instead of from some random person.worse if it isn't a random person
Shiba-chan = :on GJ::lol:
Yossi = :mon misch:
Rika = :shy2:
Oooooooooooooooooooh yeah... :pimp::pimp:
Wait a sec...what? :O Earplugs? :Pher cellphone...
Rika = :dunno:
Yossi = :hehehe:
:gmon witch:RI~GHT
OMGASS THEY WERE THERE!!!a phone call and some beaten red lights can deliver the stethoscopes right on time...
:hiakhiakhiak: :ondick: :pig laugh: :gmon sing: :pen_whirl: :akachin: :mon fyeah: :mon lmao: :on woohoo: :tama-laff: :tama-apeshit: :onionwhip: :onioncheer: :gmon fry: :monster:
Mai and Ayaka were like, on a stakeout outside of their building or something? :cow:
Walking with discomfort huh? So she wore the thong :pimp::pimp:
Man Ayaka, Mai and Ayumi are perverts. I think some things are just meant to be privite.
How did Mai and Ayaka get there so fast? Where they hiding in the guestroom the whole time?please wait for the next update for that...
Third... ... hmm... there is no third.
"Perfect," was all that she managed to say before taking Rika's lips into her own.
Somehow, the two managed to get to the bed without really walking (in the strict sense of the word).
The kisses from Hitomi we're close to blinding Rika from judgement as she did not protest when she felt Hitomi's hand on her bum.

i know, right... man, this is getting harder and harder for rika... :lol: ... but it's her fault for being so damn sexxxy...QuoteThird... ... hmm... there is no third.hahahaha damn
so there - the damned steth :lol:XD
busted :on lol:
but still :frustrated:
why.?. :mon fierce:
teaser!!! :angry:
your rant - I so can relate :grin:… and we've argued about this for about 6 times last month!
Now where's my Funny moment update where Yoshi pops a vein @ seeing the three trying to listen in.XD. And GJ Rika did @ keeping her innocence XDpopping veins? i don't think she's gonna pop a vein...
^ lol hey I'm gay too XDthis isn't exactly the official "i'm coming out thread" ... *looks back at come together PV 'kiss' at prev page*... o-kay... maybe this is... :lol: ... anyway... no problem there...
"Oh, hi Yoshiko..." Mai casually greeted Hitomi after being discovered.Mai = :gmon hi:
Ayumi quickly hid the stethoscope she had behind her back. She couldn't look at Hitomi as she was too embarrassed. My career is over...
Ayaka pointed a finger at Mai. "Wasn't my idea..."
Without any word of response, Hitomi closed the door on them.
She approached the bed, and the confused and slightly disappointed Rika. "Ka-chan, we've got company... Better wear that robe" After planting a chaste kiss on Rika's shoulder, Hitomi sighed. "This is going to be a long night..."Yossi = :doh:
Mai glared at the still-confused Hitomi. "You said you didn't do anything to her..."Looks like Mai might be the horndog of the group instead of Yossi. :lol:
"I didn't!"
Mai pulled Hitomi by the ear closer to the bed, stopping right in front of Rika. "How can you not want to do anything with THAT?!"
"I didn't say I didn't want to... I just said I didn't!" Hitomi defensively answered while massaging her reddened ear.True, there IS a difference here. It's a difficult one to deal with, but yeah.
Hitomi rolled her eyes at her friend. "I have no idea what you're talking about..."Mai plotting something already? :twisted:
"Whatever..." Mai reluctantly conceded before attempting to get on the bed.
But Hitomi blocked her way that she failed in the attempt. "Nobody... and I mean NOBODY else is going to occupy that bed except Rika and myself..."
Mai, abruptly turned away, hiding a smile that made it to her face "... Fine..." She walked back to the door, leaving a confused Hitomi anticipating some kind of retaliation from Mai that never materialized.
From outside, the two heard Ayaka calling. "Oi, you two. We'll be having a Prison Break marathon in your living room... Care to join us?"WTF? :?
The two were tired and Hitomi knew it but she also knew that if they turn the offer down now, the three will just bug them until they agree. She gave Rika a nod as a sign that they'll join their friends regardless of how tired they both were.It felt different without Yossi there, holding her as she slept. :D
Rika got out of bed, not minding that Hitomi decided things without consulting her. The bed felt different without Hitomi.
"We're you planning on coming here the whole time?" Hitomi asked her beginning-to-be-preoccupied friends.BUSTED! XD
Mai didn't bother to look at Hitomi. Ayaka took the initiative to answer. "Actually, we were planning to have a marathon at Mai's. But then Ayumi c..alled... us... ..." Uh-oh... what have i done?
B: WHO ARE YOU? HOW DID YOU GET PAST MY GUARD HULIO?
H: Ha! I just gave him a tequila!
B: What do you want?
H: I want my wife back!
B:wah? Who?
H:Rika!

H: ok

THE END
Mai = :gmon hi: Shiba-chan = :on polter: Ayaka = :mon dunno:right on, dude!
Looks like Mai might be the horndog of the group instead of Yossi. :lol:Possible…
True, there IS a difference here. It's a difficult one to deal with, but yeah.props for yossui!!!
Mai plotting something already? :twisted:she really just wanted to sit on the bed…
WTF? :?apologies that it came out abruptly like that… I forgot to mention the part where the two sneak away from the room’s door way and just go through with the plans of living room domination…
It felt different without Yossi there, holding her as she slept. :Dawww…
BUSTED! XD:yep:
… The three of them should probably prepare herself for a MASSIVE workload increase in the near future. :kekeke:
lol ayumi is going to be dead meat:lol:
Previous update: *drools so much that keyboard is soaked* Damn, so freakin close!!!! :angry: Oshit, they were all outside the door!? :rofl:Yes, they were… with stethoscopes too… … this is what you get when your writer comes from a family of doctors…
Current update: Mai just cracks me up. I agree with JFC, maybe Yossy isn't the one with her mind in the gutter all the time! Ooooh, Ayaka spilled the beans! Shiba-chan gonna be in trouble!!!! XD Aww, classic Ishiyoshi fluff! :inlove:XD
If you were your rabu-rabu would you feel like you had to compete against IshiYoshi? Maybe she doesn't think you talk about her all the time but you talk about them, like they occupy your mind more than she does maybe?...Thanks for the guilt trip and rubbing it in… XD j/ks …
But obviously she doesn't know all the cute little comments you add about her here (like adding the Pink & brown stuff to IshiYoshi's bedroom (?) coz one of you likes pink and the other likes brown... so sweet!)actually, she does… I tell her these things…
so maybe she should be supportive of the fanfic coz she's included too, even if she doesn't like it & we welcome her with open arms :PShe’s supportive of the fic… at times :lol: … we talk about the fic often and I consult with her on how things would turn out… I tend to go crazy all the time so she ties me down to reality and sanity… I really like having her involved in things that I do… sometimes it’s like we’re married or something… she’s sort of a h!pster too… I made her register here… but she hasn’t logged on since registering… :lol: … she’s for conserving water… :lol:
EWWWWWWWWWWWW, Prison Break... I hate that show... so glad Rika fell asleep early so she didn't have to watch much :PThat’s what IshiYoshi is all about… sweeet and sexxxy…
IshiYoshi on the couch (I can't believe I just said couch :o ) was sweet and sexy at the same time :mon inluv:
jks. But seriously … … … … … … XD XD XD XD XD jks...not really ...but jks...but not really ZDare you serious?
Oh tru why must you write ishiyoshi so adorably. They are so perfect together but I am sad because I know somewhere down the line something bad is going to happen and I can sense some kind of akward testing of their love for one another.You still think so? :lol: … honestly, I feel like I’m losing it… w or maybe i never had it... :lol: when I compare the earlier chapters with the ones I have now… sometimes I feel like there are at least two very different people writing this thing… :lol:
:pleeease: :fainted: even though I know it will work out in the end, why must their love always be put through the gauntlet?If we don’t put their love through the gauntlet, there’s nothing to write about anymore, is there? People get tired of sweeets too, sometimes… some resort to the barf bag and the others, the dentist just to go on reading this thing…

I know I know but I still feel :err: sometimes but I know if there is angst Yossi can show off her awesomeness more
(i just can't resist replying to this right away)
you don't know what you're asking for, my friend... XD
Rika awoke to the faint sound of her cellphone alarm coming from their room. She forgot to bring it out with her last night when they moved to the living room.Okay, but did Mai, Ayaka, and Shiba-chan spend the night too? :D
After wrenching herself out of Hitomi’s embraceMust've been the hardest thing she had to do in the last 24 hours. :P
She might step on Mai who was sprawled on the floor, asleep./me pictures Mai, Ayaka, and Shiba-chan passed out on Yossi & Rika's floor.
Rika realized that there was one thing she could do.Oooooooo. :O
She walked to that room that they used most rarely. The room was sound proof and it had something she could be busy with for hours and not mind—the baby grand.
She set her hand on the keys and just start playing improvisations on the key of D. hmm… D… wakatta… She closed her eyes as she began playing the Canon by Pachelbel. It was a shame she couldn’t remember her friend’s name. She kept her eyes closed trying to imagine the letters and their envelopes. The name’s, in all likeliness, bound to be on the envelope. She tried hard to remember but nothing came to mind.Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...;D
The variations they made made Rika smile. The two of them, they owned this piece. Will I ever see her again? Is there any chance that we can fulfill our promise?
The two of them, they owned this piece. Will I ever see her again? Is there any chance that we can fulfill our promise?:grr: :stoned:
Okay, this leaves 2 options for the next part. Either:JFC = oracle of RFP
a) Yossi wakes up because she somehow, faintly hears Rika playing
OR (and I think this one is more likely)
b) Yossi wakes up because she's got it so bad that it doesn't feel right to not have Rika in her arms.
O0
:mon rush:QuoteThe two of them, they owned this piece. Will I ever see her again? Is there any chance that we can fulfill our promise?:grr: :stoned:
Rika-chan, always the hard-working wife!!! (LOL, I have this image of Mai sprawled on the carpet, drooling) So she wants the letters to remember who they were to? So she doesn't know it's Yossy? (At least I think it is.... :? )no... neither (k)now nothing... aren't you updating yet? :lol: cuz i am...
and are my plans of making you give up on the angst and just go with a happy ending working?... ... i don't know...
Really this time~!^i'll try to go on more often... cause usually when i'm on, everybody's off! :lol: thanks... here's the next part
I miss talking to you, you should go on msn more often... remember the other day when almost the whole gang was on? That was fun.
Still though I can't wait for the next part.
Still here :) :3
She didn't want to admit it but she really did want to find that girl again.
I was looking for you... When I woke up, you weren't there... ... ... I fell off the sofa..." Hitomi grinned. "... You weren't there to keep me from falling..."
"You leaned outwards to much..."
At the last note of the Canon, Rika sighed. It's been such a long time since she began trying to perfect this piece. But whatever she did, she knew it wouldn't be perfect because the promise hasn't been fulfilled yet. Something will always lack until she meets that violinist again. Until they put their pieces together in this puzzle of melody, rhythm and harmony, it will never be perfect./me imagines a scene where Rika's in the room...trying to play the peace. Yossi enters the room silently so Rika doesn't notice. Yossi then hears the peace, and puts 2+2 together, and then in her mind goes O_O. She then picks up her violin and begins playing her part of the duet. Rika, concentrating so much on what she's playing, doesn't realize at first the violin in the background, but when she does, she just goes with the flow and gets more into the music. After a little more time Rika suddenly realizes what's going on...she turns around and sees Yossi. Rika then puts 2+2 together as SHE goes O_O at Yossi. BIG-TIME rabu-rabu ensues.
Rika closed her eyes as she began one of her favorites from Liszt. A Dream of Love. Yes, Rika did have a dream of love. She had a dream of Hitomi. She didn't need sheet music for this one. Her hands have memorized their way on the keyboard. The rhythm they followed was the steady beating of her heart.Sunnovabitch I'm good. XD
At the sixteenth measure, an intrusive sound, not that of the piano played along. Rika had concluded that Hitomi was an expert at sneaking into the room. Rika opened her eyes to confirm her suspicions and sure enough, Hitomi was there, standing next to the piano, smiling at her while playing along.
I was looking for you... When I woke up, you weren't there... ... ... I fell off the sofa..." Hitomi grinned. "... You weren't there to keep me from falling...":mon lmao:
Hitomi whispered in a low tone in Rika's ear "...I was thinking we could get something on... but you weren't there..."OH DAYUM!!! :twisted:
The suggestion earned her a slap on the forearm from Rika. "To-chan! They're right there with us in the living room!"
"... I doubt anything could wake them this early..."Well, if they did wake up, it might have shut Mai, Ayaka and Shiba-chan. :P
"That's not the point!"
"We can use the room now, you know?":rofl:
"No."
Hitomi wasn't going to give up that easily this time. She slowly placed her hands on the collar of Rika's robe. "Or, if you're too lazy to move... we can stay here... The door's locked now, anyway..." Hitomi gently brushed Rika's hair out of the way before leaning further down, kissing Rika on the shoulder, around the strap of her nightie.Yow...:drool:
Rika slightly moved away, torn between reason and instinct. "To-chan..."
"Please...?"
:on bleed: :luvluv1: Is all that I can say. Cant wait for the next update.Me neither
omg its the moment i've been waiting, cant wait for your next updateIs it?!
Kyaaah~! :wub: :wub:Yeah… I missed you…
Ok, i've been paying attention to this fic for sometime. I can't ignore Ishiyoshi fics.. :sweatdrop: But I haven't commented for quite a while so yea...
You're so good at cliffhangers aye? Can't wait for more updates!! Sorry for being a lurker on ur thread.. :oops: Your fic is 'Astig!' :PYou think so? Thanks… lurker-hood’s okay with me… :D … I lurk around too… but not as much as most… Astig! :lol: let’s talk again sometime…
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYou so don’t want it to happen, do you?
I just know that, soundproof or not, Ayaka Mai and Shibachan are gonna hear//know!Are they?
I can't wait for more. Yoshi's being tooo pushy and Rika's too easy
Still here
I really want to know who that person Rika is referring to is @.@Yah? I want her to know too…
*coughs* I think Rika should listen to Yossys please *cough* (even if there are others just in the other room...):lol:
another cliffhanger :roll: one of your best assets as a writer :yep:Thanks!
Rika's in for a surprise. LOL that Yossy fell off the couch!!! XD Masaka...are they gonna... :w00t:Are they gonna what?
Mai, Ayaka and Ayumi are so hilarious together XD...but still interrupting an Ishiyoshi moment :angry:...still way to funnythe door part XDXD
CHOU~ KAWAII!!
:mon blood:you want them to stop it from happening?
Will they finally do it ? :mon bleed2:
:mon blowhorn: AYAKA,MAI,AYUMI WAKE UP !!!!!! :mon star:
/me imagines a scene where Rika's in the room...trying to play the peace. Yossi enters the room silently so Rika doesn't notice. Yossi then hears the peace, and puts 2+2 together, and then in her mind goes O_O. She then picks up her violin and begins playing her part of the duet.

BIG-TIME rabu-rabu ensues.Ms. Natavio (my 1st grade math teacher): 2+2=4
:wahaha:
…
Sunnovabitch I'm good. XD
If only Yossi had entered a few minutes earlier. :D
OH DAYUM!!! :twisted::twisted:
Well, if they did wake up, it might have shut Mai, Ayaka and Shiba-chan. :PThat is if Mai’s in charge…
Notice I said "might". Knowing those three, it would just prompt them to get even MORE nosey. :lol:
:lol:
Yow...:drool:
Lips made a wet trail from Rika's neck to her arms. And someone was getting wet somewhere else.Oooooooooooooooooooh yeah.....:twisted:
Rika leaned on the headboard of their bed for support. Somehow, the nightie had parted from her. Although she felt the urge to cover her modesty, she lacked the strength to do so. And despite the darkness, she knew that Hitomi was smiling at her.Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh dayum!
"Perfect."
Rika's hands left the shoulders they rested on and made their way down, seeking to feel more of Hitomi. In how their garments matched in appearance, they sought that the garments match in location as well-- off their bodies.Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...:drool:
She felt for the buttons of Hitomi's pajama top and struggled to open them, a few pulls short of ripping the piece of clothing.Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! :jerk:
The dance halted at the release of the last button. Hitomi pulled her arms out of the sleeves, and threw the pajama top over her shoulders into the darkness of the room.
++pesky sis trying to see what i'm doing... continuing this later~~ gomen:dizzy:
anyway... i'm in the school library... i hope the sudden halt in the flow does not ruin your anticipation for what's to happen next...Let's hope no one else sees and starts wanking off because the story's so hot. XD
an uncertain hand clutched hers. "To-chan..."Highly emotional situation for both of them, given what they both want, but knowing what's kept them from doing it so far. :-X
Hitomi kissed Rika's hand before taking it in her own.
"To-chan... I'm scared..." Rika's voice cracked as she trembled.
Hitomi resumed her usual spot on the bed, beside Rika. She carefully pulled Rika into her arms, the latter being half-on top of the former.
Rika rested her head against Hitomi's bear chest while her arms encircled Hitomi's waist.
"Ka-chan, we can stop here if you don't want--"
Hitomi was abruptly interrupted by Rika's lips on hers. Nervous, Rika whispered. "No... To-chan... make me yours... please?"
A gasp slipped between the kisses as the Hitomi crossed the threshold. Rika cringed at the initial contact as it reminded her of Dan. But this wasn't Dan now. And she kept that in mind.:mon bleed2:
Hitomi held Rika closer and tighter knowing what memories this could reawaken. "Baby... remember... it's me."
Rika parted her legs, granting Hitomi access. But she closed her eyes tighter, anticipating the pain that was to follow...
++ and now this is my own fault... i'm late for my class now... GOMEN!!! ... i miscalculated my writing time... i thought i could finish everything before class... apologies again... this is really one of my stupidest updating trend to date... GOMEN!!!CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!
*RABURABU*That was beautiful. :wub:
Hitomi planted a kiss on her Ka-chan’s forehead. “Stay here for the day… You need to rest…”Yeah, it would be awkward if Shiba-chan was the only one there. Sure Jo knows her, but May and other family members would be all "Who are you?"
“I have hospital duties…” Rika protested. “I can’t just arbitrarily change plans, people follow schedules…”
“… Can’t Ayumi do it on her own? Even just for today?”
“To-chan! She’s not even related to them…”
“And you are?”
“Yes, they’re stepfamily…”
“If you want me to stay home… You should stay home too…”Rika could make it worth her while. :hump:
“What? Why?”
“Because I said so…”
Hitomi remembered all the work and maneuvers she has to do today to get Rika out of the mess she created. Damnit. “I can’t stay, even if I really want to… I have a lot of work to do…”Point...Rika. :lol:
“Then, I’m not staying home…”
“But…”
“No buts… I will manage… But now…” Rika pulled away from Hitomi’s embrace. “I have to take a shower and then cook you some breakfast."
"Wait!"
Hitomi carefully assisted Rika in going to the bathroom. The deed done about an hour ago had taken its toll on the green horn.Dang. :pimp:
"... Ka-chan... i really think you need to rest..."Well, unless Rika is a REALLY good actress and can hide the...discomfort, Shiba-chan will figure out in about 5 seconds what the deal is (which means that Ayaka and Mai will know about 10 seconds after that). :lol:
"I can rest while I'm at the hospital..."
"You're missing my point Ka-chan... You can't even get to the bathroom by yourself..."
"Ayumi will be with me, right?"
"Now, now... don't get mad... ..." Rika reached for anything in the bathroom that could support her as she stood. The nearest to her reach happened to be the sink.Yossi should help her bathe. ;D Hell, she should just join her and do like what we've all been saying and CONSERVE WATER!!! XD
"How can you bathe if you can't even stand up straight?"
Third reached into her bag and took out a small folder. I really have to talk to the Way about this...:O
Opening the folder, she took out a couple of old photographs. This really messes up her original theory on this case. If he is the mastermiond, that could make sense of most of the other material she has now except one. And it just so happens that this ONE thing is worth all other evidence she has gathered.
Now, after her overseas investigation, it is apparent that there was another player in the story. How active he is in the events that took place all those years ago, it was hard to tell. But it seems that he did play some sort of role.
These photographs... the fire... that car accident... ... ... screw the policy... I'm gonna talk to the old pair...
Jin was pacing about in his penthouse apartment in Tokyo and his assistants were finding difficulty in keeping up with him. "I'm flying back to Manila..."Gahdammit. :angry:
"But, sir, you just got back."
"I have some business to attend to..."
"I have to know... My gut is telling me that Yoichi's hands are still moving from beyond the grave. I won't let all my hard work come to waste."Yoichi? Was that Rika's dad?
"We will book you a flight right away, sir."
Man Rika can't even stand up straight Yossie really did a number on her :pimp: I'm I seeing them finally about to conserve water?maybe... XD
Man Jin is back... forgot about him in all the rabu rabu but I guess we nee some drama to shake things up.i almost forgot about him too... and everybody... :lol:
wow an update! I forgot what that was for a while......oi~
and dude..... you had to ruin the sweeet mental images I was getting by adding Jin to the mix?i have to keep the pin/needle/whatever sharp pointy object in sight to keep it in mind...
and dayum! Yoshi .... Rika.... did you do it a lot or was she just really rough or something?XDthat's what happens when you have an advanced player and a newb...
BTW, I thought Rika had to do number one or number two which is why I was amazed at how supportive Yoshi was being through this... like, why didn't she just take her pants down, help her sit and give her some privacy.... but then I read "How are you gonna bathe?" And my thoughts went to ... well I was like "oooooh" but now that I think about it (and after reading the above post) I'm thinking Bam chika wow wow!~i know we go for realism here but i don't think i have the heart to write something with number one or two...
Yey! THird is coming back! Will you finally reveal her identity even though I already know who it is? Oooor will you just leave that some more? I want to see some Spy/Konkon action rabu rabu :3 onegai shimasu!~i don't know yet... stick around...
I'm here! And waiting for the next chapter!~ Even though you odon't read my stuff, I still read yours!~thank you~
how sweet Yossie carried Rika :mon cute:yossui is DA MAN... errr... yeah...
*Yossie must have done a good job* XD
God, you'd think Yossy would go easy on Rika since it was her first time and all.... XD And like sweeety, I thought Rika had to like pee or something. But then the bathing line made me go :P Jeez, Jin freaks me out still. I really hope he never ever ever gets his hands on Rika... :thumbdown:do we want to cool down the hot
Well, unless Rika is a REALLY good actress and can hide the...discomfort, Shiba-chan will figure out in about 5 seconds what the deal is (which means that Ayaka and Mai will know about 10 seconds after that). :lol:no need to pass the message... they slept over, remember?
Yossi should help her bathe. ;D Hell, she should just join her and do like what we've all been saying and CONSERVE WATER!!! XD:lol:
Yoichi? Was that Rika's dad?yes, he's Rika's dad...
:pig huh:
she can't stand on her own.?. XDXD XD XD
To distract herself from imagining the doom awaiting her at the office, Hitomi wrapped her arms around Rika's waist.Aww... Yossie's gonna get a whooping.. :lol: *whooop whooop whooop* [ah futurama...]
Hitomi reached for the lone towel that hung nearby. She had forgotten to get Rika one last night. Damn...YES! FINALLY! THEY'RE "HELPING THE ENVIRONMENT!" :rockon:
"Can you hang on here for a sec? ... I'll get you a towel..." Hitomi towelled herself dry before stepping out of the shower.
"You sure you'll be okay?" Hitomi asked as she knelt down to dry Rika's legs and feet Mmm... legs...Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...:drool:
"... Yeah... I will..."
"We better get cooking now... The three might wake up soon..."OH! Double-entendres! XD
Jin was just on his way out of his apartment when he remembered something that could prove useful in his return to the Philippines. He went to his library and approached an old metal filing cabinet. He knelt down to reach the bottom drawer and with all his strength, pulled the drawer open.:shocked: Oh crud.
Flipping the tabs on the innumerable folders, he sought this important artifact.
"Ichii... .... Inaba... ... ... Ishiguro, Ishii... ... aha! Ishikawa."
A smirk appeared on his face. If she really is Ishikawa's daughter, things could turn pretty interesting.
"Ayaka's such a mommy to you, ne~ To-chan?" Rika commented sensing that Ayaka again was responsible for this, probably with some assistance from Ayumi.Awwwwwwwwwwwwww... :oops:
On the kitchen counter was a bowl of sliced and diced fruits, a box of Kellog's cornflakes and a note. "There's cold milk in the fridge and powdered milk in the pantry. <3 "
"Aww... she even drew a heart..."
Rika brought out two cereal bowls for each of them and took out the milk from the fridge, she didn't bother with the powdered one. Even if powdered milk was more popular in the Philippines, Rika never really got the hang of it.Yeah, I'm siding with Rika on this one. Powdered milk is more popular in RP because it obviously doesn't spoil as easily as regular milk. It's still nasty though, IMO.
"Aww... she even drew a heart..." Rika was touched by the note while Hitomi was getting worried about what will happen to her at the office.:kekeke: Ah yes the office.. :ding:
darn jin father never learns to stop interfering with someone's affair. "grabs a bat and hits him. bang bang bang*hey~ don't hit him... you might kill him and won't be able to use him in my story anymore... :lol:
but this ould be good... I see potential. I bet he has valuable info in that file. For once he might be helpful.he will be useful... ... ... for me! :twisted: [/quote]
And THEY DID IT IN THE SHOWER TOO?!
^ no, i dont think they did it in the shower.. Yossie was just helping Rika coz she couldn't stand up -properly.. ;)thanks, zay
still here. Still waiting. STill not trying hard at my exams. check out the linkey. You will then realise what Jin's like to me minus the WOW bit that's what I think when I read Jin XDhmm... interesting reading... hmm... :lol:
mou~ Jin's plans to return... :angry: Jin is Yossie dad right? :oops:yes, he is coming back... *sigh* ...
Jin's Yossie's dad XD and in my mind he's also hitlerXD
Aww... Yossie's gonna get a whooping.. :lol: *whooop whooop whooop* [ah futurama...]:lol:
yay tru~ u sure can mix emotions.. one part i'm going 'Booo~ *for Jin cos he's a jerk... and the other i go 'Weeee~ :wub:'thanks... ishiyoshi love and jin hate...
I hope he goes to Yoshi' work first that way Rika isn't there when he goes.... it would be bad news if he went there and found her and poisoned both their minds or something or hurt/threatened her.there are too many possibilities at this point in time...
and I hope RIka's safe where she is. We haven't heard much from her redneck side of the baddies (yes I imagine the rednecks from Devils rejects when I think about them) which means we wont be able to see it coming when they snatch her or do something bad to her -_-yeah... i hope so too...
waiting~ Here~ For an updatosorry for keeping you waiting... school is hell...
YES! FINALLY! THEY'RE "HELPING THE ENVIRONMENT!" :rockon:i should have entitled that "the Conserve Water special" but then I didn't write the actual conserving water part :lol:
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...:drool:for some reason, i really like legs... wait... that didn't sound right... at all... :lol:
OH! Double-entendres! XDXD
:shocked: Oh crud.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww... :oops::lol:
Yeah, I'm siding with Rika on this one. Powdered milk is more popular in RP because it obviously doesn't spoil as easily as regular milk. It's still nasty though, IMO.yeah... regular milk is the way to go... but I use powdered milk more... as you said, it doesn't spoil as easily...
God They are so adorable and :on bleed:. I love this fic so much! You are the awesome Tru keep it up !no. YOU are awesome... thank you.
kya~ they are soooo sweet :wriggly:I'm all sweet and insanity....
:kekeke: Ah yes the office.. :ding::twisted:
AWWWW~ Rabu rabu!!! :w00t: They are like the perfect couple~ :heart: (Besides TakaGaki *cough* :roll: ) Mmm, legs... :drool:of course they ARE the perfect couple...
Jeez, Jin needs to lay off. It's making me nervous! :Pwe hate him...
Dude, Ayaka is mommy. Plain and simple. She provides for Yossy! XDi think it's time for mommy to step back... and let the wife take charge! :lol:
Nuts. I didn't want to reply to anything for a while but the theory just popped into my head.I have to say... I have played with all three ideas in my mind before... all of them are pretty viable with little tweaks here and there... but... :twisted: *moment of insanity* WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *moment of insanity over*
If the company Rika's dad owned was made bankrupt by Jinn, then he took vengeance in the worst way possible: Hiring someone to rape Yossie's mom. When she dies, Jinn gets payback by engineering the car accident that kills Rika's family; trying to get him.
Or...
First the car accident, then Rika's dad finds out it was Jinn's fault and hires the rapist.
Or...
Since Yossy's mother was the actual owner of the company, he could have hired the rapist; knowing that his wife would want to die afterwords so he can get the company. Rika's father found out and Jinn had bankrupted his company and killed him and almost all of his family.
She recalled how she and Ayaka half-carried, half-dragged Mai out of the flat, down the elevator and into Ayaka’s car. Waking her to the sound of Rika and Hitomi’s early morning activity would not be good for any of them.Yocchan will sure be death if Mai heard it :on lol:
Hitomi wrapped her arms around Rika as a group of student stepped into the lift. They were rather rowdy and laughed boisterously. But a cold glare from Hitomi shut them up quick and sent them out of the lift on the 5th floor.Hey, I've done that. :rockon:
Ayaka and I ate before leaving…” Ayumi replied, while avoiding having to look at either of them.Oh, Ayaka and Shiba-chan are SO dead if Mai finds out what she missed out on.
“You and Ayaka? What about Mai?”
“Mai? Oh… Don’t mind her… she’s fine…” Ayumi struggled to keep a laugh from bursting out of her mouth. She recalled how she and Ayaka half-carried, half-dragged Mai out of the flat, down the elevator and into Ayaka’s car. Waking her to the sound of Rika and Hitomi’s early morning activity would not be good for any of them.
Hitomi kissed Rika goodbye before helping her board Ayumi’s car.She'll get so much extra work her grandkids will have to come in and help finish it off, right? :lol:
“Oi~, You better take good care of my Rika, Ayumi… or else…”
Yocchan will sure be death if Mai heard it :on lol: Ayaka and Ayumi rule :on woohoo:No doubt, Mai and her stethoscopes... :on lol: ... they're the team to beat now... :lol:
Awww, I can't wait till they become real Ka-chan and To-chan!! :inlove: Ohohoho, Mai!!! :w00t: XD She is honestly, one of my favorite characters in this story!!I wonder what she'd've done had she woken up amidst the 'action' ... i'm glad you liked her character...
me too... XDQuoteBut a cold glare from Hitomi shut them up quick and sent them out of the lift on the 5th floor.Hey, I've done that. :rockon:
Oh, Ayaka and Shiba-chan are SO dead if Mai finds out what she missed out on. :on lol::on lol:
She'll get so much extra work her grandkids will have to come in and help finish it off, right? :lol:correction, great grandkids...
OH SHITZ DEM FORGAT TO GETZ A BABYGUARD (Bodyguard but for Rika aka baby)Rika: Ayumi's there...
And I noticed you purposely left a few things out of that summary ;) you sneaky sneaky girl!i am god here... leave me be on my divine duties...
I'll talk ot you on msn... if I don't fall asleep some moreI'm on now...
hmm I hope they make it through the day so they can come home together and snuggle. And Yoshi you better fix your mistake!amen.
Seeing Rika looking her way, Hitomi flashed her bright lights. Rika waved back enthusiastically and blew her To-chan a kiss.*sigh* :wub:
"Don't even try denying it Rika... WE HEARD YOU... and we didn't even have to move closer to your room..." Ayumi watched Rika from the corner of her eye.kyaaaa~! they heard! they heard!!! :w00t: :lol:
"You're lucky Mai was too wasted... we had to carry her out of your flat, down and into Ayaka's car. You have no idea how heavy that woman is... And I can't imagine the ruckus she'd have made had she woken up in your place..."Woooo.. sounds scary.. :O Mai would be all over the couple.. :yep:
"Even if I tell your prince how muchimuchi you were before? I can even show her a picture of you... back then..."go! go! go! show ouji-sama how cute chimu is!!
Other than Ayumi, there's only one person who said she likes Rika for being muchimuchi. "Fine. I'll tell you."other person! ouji-sama!! yossy-ouji-sama!! :doh:
Ayumi turned to her friend with a questioning look but got the idea as soon as she saw Rika biting her lip. "Sure... I don't mind you heating up for her later..."Lol! :lol: 'heating up'... XD The relationship between this two sure are good. So open. :shakeit:
"That's not what I meant!"
"Sure, sure... whatever..."
"You, can't make me tell you, no matter what you say..."yeeah !! Shiba-chan rules :on GJ:
"No matter what I say?"
"No matter what you say."
With an evil grin, she retorted. "Even if I tell your prince how muchimuchi you were before? I can even show her a picture of you... back then..."
Ayumi rolled her eyes at her lovestruck friends. "Can't you guys get enough of each other?! You two have already had a lot of each other this morning... Too much if you ask me..."OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH SNAP! BUSTED!!!
"What?"
"Don't even try denying it Rika... WE HEARD YOU... and we didn't even have to move closer to your room..." Ayumi watched Rika from the corner of her eye.
Rika, although blushing, denied the allegation. "I still don't know what you're talking about..." She turned her attention to the view outside, the city slowly coming to life.:on lol:
"I told you, not to even try denying it... WE KNOW..." Ayumi firmly said. "You're lucky Mai was too wasted... we had to carry her out of your flat, down and into Ayaka's car. You have no idea how heavy that woman is... And I can't imagine the ruckus she'd have made had she woken up in your place..."
After a few moments of silence, Ayumi chuckled as she shifted gears. "Ayaka and I were both like, 'finally... I thought this would never happen'":mon lmao:
The two friends suddenly bursted out in laughter.
"So how was it?" Ayumi poked Rika's side with her elbow.Score one for Yossi! :pimp:
"Why should I tell you?"
"Because I'm your best friend!"
"Not reason enough..." Rika replied tunefully.
"Hah! I bet you can't tell me 'cause you passed out right in the middle of it so you have nothing to say!"
With an evil grin, she retorted. "Even if I tell your prince how muchimuchi you were before? I can even show her a picture of you... back then..."Oh, how interesting that would be if she did. :roll:
"Don't!" Rika didn't like how she looked back then and didn't want anybody in the now to see.
Rika sighed heavily. "Can't we talk about it on the way home later?"Oooooooooooooooh yeah. Don't forget, by waiting until later, it gives Shiba-chan a chance to call Ayaka and Mai so that they can come and hear the story as well. :twisted:
Ayumi turned to her friend with a questioning look but got the idea as soon as she saw Rika biting her lip. "Sure... I don't mind you heating up for her later..."
"That's not what I meant!"
"Sure, sure... whatever..."
yay! update!! ... *sigh* :wub: ... kyaaaa~! they heard! they heard!!! :w00t: :lol:... Woooo.. sounds scary.. :O Mai would be all over the couple..yeah... Mai'd be like "Yoshiko!!! open the damn door!!! Oi, Ayaka, don't you have a key to this room?!"
:yep: ... go! go! go! show ouji-sama how cute chimu is!! ... other person! ouji-sama!! yossy-ouji-sama!! :doh:Ouji-sama....
Lol! :lol: 'heating up'... XD The relationship between this two sure are good. So open. :shakeit: ....yay:lol: they're like sisters... but really, i don't even think about talking to my sister about those things...
tru~~~ now back to talking to u :otomerika:ye ye ye!
No! Show Yossie the picture! Why did you fold Rika?!?!hmmm.... it is in God's will that she folded...
yeeah !! Shiba-chan rules :on GJ:YEEAH!!!
Hehehe, nice move, Shiba-chan~~ :w00t: Damn, it didn't seem like they were THAT loud! XD Awww muchimuchi Rika is soooo cute!! I wanna hear how Rika describes their "adventure".... your enthusiasm (for hearing rika's description) is scary... :lol:
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH SNAP! BUSTED!!! :wahaha::wahaha:
Oooooooooooooooh yeah. Don't forget, by waiting until later, it gives Shiba-chan a chance to call Ayaka and Mai so that they can come and hear the story as well. :twisted:hmmmm....
sucked in! For Once AYUMI PREVAILS!~~once...
OMG NEW THEORY! YOSHI AND RIKA MET AT FAT CAMP! XD jksits music training camp...
still here and watitingits fun to wait, ne~?
"Tita... please, huwag n'yo nang sabihin kay Auntie Mayumi..." (Tita, please, don't tell her...)
"Alam mo naman na Iglesia* ang nanay* mo... Di siya papayag d'yan pag nalaman niya..." (You know that she's a member of Iglesia... She won't approve of this when she finds out...)lol yep.. consider za religion.. :sweatdrop:
Rika looked down at the floor, she decided to stop listening to the litany of Eula as she knew the woman didn't know everything that had happened between Mayumi and her. She kept silent, so not to ruin the beautiful morning her To-chan made for her with pointless debates.yea.. can't blame the lady.. she's clueless.. only worries about IshiYoshi.. it IS important! :P
Iglesia=a religion founded in the Philippines, even more strict on homosexual relationshipsYou want to talk about strict? Iglesia wedding receptions are always done as a luncheon instead of as a dinner & dance like how they're usually done. Wanna know why? It's because Iglesia forbids any and all forms of dancing (even ballroom and traditional Filipino folk dances) because they believe that it's sinful because moving your body like that is too much like sex. Now while I get why they would categorize club dancing (bumpin' and grindin') like that, can someone tell how ballroom/folk dancing is supposed to be perverse? Anyway, no point in having the reception be a "dinner & dance" when you're not allowed to dance.
first! Oh man I have been waiting for the next chapter... poor rika and the guilt tripping. :angry: why must charmy-sama always be in such ackward situations.sorry to keep you guys waiting... my almost non-existent real life has been bugging me...
Jeez, pressure much? I feel so bad for them. I wish some ppl would just be a little more open-minded. I mean, love is love. :heart: :yep:and how can anyone not love ishiyoshilove? i don't get these people i made...
of course, she has the hots for yossui too... :lol:
yeah don´t tell her :on shady:´cause she still think Yocchan is a man :on lol: :kekeke:
:O I totally forgot about the stepmother.. [stepmother's are evul!! :angry: lol well not ALL are evil.. :lol:i know 2 evul ones... one's here and the other's there... somewhere... :lol:
lol yep.. consider za religion.. :sweatdrop:the Philippines is a very Christian country... too christian if you ask me...
does Mayumi still have a hold on Rika? coz im a bit lost.. my head erased the other parts and just left IshiYoshi rabu-rabu :wub: :Dno, technically, she doesn't... but due to the "accident" she has masterminded, she had made a pretext to keep Rika on coming back to a place within the reach of her sharp, nasty, and damn dirty claws...
so... how come Mayumi ain't trying to steal Rika? You'd think she'd be doing all she could or something...ahh... yes... that horrendous woman... she is... ... she is... ... :twisted: ... i just haven't said anything about it yet...
I'll be here waiting for the next chapter anyway...see you later.see you...
missed a lot... been busy busy busy *waits for the next update*thanks for your patience... thesis is eating my hand atm...
WTF, May's in Iglesia? Oh that's just what we DON'T need right now, a bunch of self-serving, closed-minded people who think that their way of interpreting the bible is the only way to do it and that all other religions (Christian or otherwise) are wrong. :banghead:i'm not so worried about that since she's a damn hypocrite, trying to sell her stepdaughter... but mayumi's over-reaction to IshiYoshi-love is bothering me... thanks for that elaboration on the Iglesia...
:thumbdown:
Hitomi looked at her reflection on the shiny elevator doors. Why is Murata online too? I told Konno to leave them out of this...Something tells me Aya told her not to take no for an answer.
She could hear Ayaka and Mai’s voices in her head, interrogating her on what went on this morning. She braced herself for the worst as the doors opened revealing and empty hallway. Neither of her friends were there even though the receptionist had surely told Ayaka that she was on her way up.Yeah, right now there are more important things that Yossi needs to deal with. Mai and Ayaka can do their interrogation afterwards. :D
Hitomi headed to the office, deciding that it was best that they weren’t being busybodies this morning. A coffee cup with freshly brewed coffee waited on the tray beside a cinnamon roll and a note from Ayaka. “You owe me, Yoshiko. Big time.”
The note elicited a smile from Hitomi. Ayaka has saved her again.
But now to more urgent matters…
Konno understood immediately the look from her boss. “We realized that we might have a problem.”Ah, the problem is because of the fact that the Ishikawa family (in this case, Rika) is still supposed to owe money to the creditors of CorPrint when it went under. It was somewhat understandable that she wouldn't be able to pay them off when the impression was that she and her family were broke. However, here she comes making a huge investment in Yossi's company, obviously questions are going to be asked regarding where she got the money from and why it hadn't been used to pay off the family debts. The fact that she's also "an employee" for Yossi would make Konkon's representing her a conflict of interest, which would not give a good impression at the impending negotiations.
“A problem?”
“I cannot represent Ishikawa-san on the negotiation tables…”
At hearing Konno say the words, Hitomi realized the major flaw in their initial plans. “They may not know that Yoshizawa-group is involved…”
“Yes. That is why I have asked for the help of Murata-san. Because the investment was made to Matsuura, she has an excuse to handle this.”
“Thank you, Murata-san, for doing all this… You will be compensated accordingly…” Hitomi brought out her checkbook and a pen. Just before she could set the pen on the check, the lawyer interrupted her. “Yoshizawa-san, do that only after all this is over. You might need that money elsewhere. Consider this some sort of making amends from me for Ishikawa-san. Hopefully I will not fail her unlike them”Shit, are some of the CorPrint creditors going to be there?
“Thank you. If only you had been a lawyer all those years ago… Anyway, negotiate with all of them. Make the most economically sane solution. If worse comes to worst, contact me right away.”
A coffee cup with freshly brewed coffee waited on the tray beside a cinnamon roll and a note from Ayaka.
Yossi even makes the receptionist swoon? :Pshe can make anybody swoon... :lol:
Yeah, right now there are more important things that Yossi needs to deal with. Mai and Ayaka can do their interrogation afterwards. :Dyeah... ... :twisted:

Smart move there in getting Murata's help, Konkon. :thumbsupshe is an awesomely smart girl...
Shit, are some of the CorPrint creditors going to be there?yeah... Murata will be facing those leviathans...
tsk tsk tsk ......what now?
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, I BEFORE E ECXEPT AFTER C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i know what i did again... by now i guess you have noticed i do not proof-read the damn thing... i write updates in between classes, man... if not, i write them really late when i fall asleep on my keyboard or really early when i'm still disoriented with the whole world... i shoud proof read... that's my responsibility... and i've failed in that respect for the past hundred or so updates... apologies...
in other words, it's treaties not treatise XDi was planning to go into law school after grad before but after meeting with some political science majors, i've decided that it isn't the place for me... i'd rather be a philosopher of law... i used to be an almost lawyer too... but the law fails...
sory, as an almost lawyer I got kina pissed off when I read that.....
I did legal studies for a year and I was like first in class so yeah... kinda got annoyed for a sec there... hehehe sorry.. but yeah, treaties... My whole head turned red just now lol. But yeah, I got mighty pissed off when I saw that for-lack-of-a-better-word type-o.
sory... I just kinda freaked out on you there... my bad,not the first time... i have a thick skin and an even thicker skull... i'm too stupid for my own damn good...
I'll still be here waiting for the next update... got all exited when I read all that laweyery stuffs... and I feel all pretentious for understanding it ^_^... I feel all special and shiny XDglad to have provided an opportunity for you to look down at me from your pedestal...
Shiba-chan sooo cute :rofl:... using photos as blackmail :lol:....something I WOULD do :cow:thank you.
Loving Proctective Yossy sooo much. She looks cute trying to protect her Ka-chan from all harm, it being her stepmother or the companies her father owned to. Awesome writing. Keep the good work :hee: Bye-bye
Ayaka is really the best "mum" (for Yossie ) :on GJ:no doubt...
Joseph arrived an hour after Eula left. He got stuck in traffic due to an accident involving a jeepney and a truck.Considering how Filipinos drive back home, not really surprised. :lol:
"Parang may iba sa'yo ngayon..."XD
"Jo." Rika pointed at her bestfriend who wasn't really minding the local-language-driven conversation between the two.
"Sorry... Uh... You look different today, Rika..."
"... Eh?"
"I'm not sure... hmm... Basta, blooming ka ngayon..." Joseph complimented Rika.
The word 'blooming' made Ayumi snicker. boy, you have no idea...
Joseph felt awkward at the silent exchange between the two. "Ah~... Rika you want something to eat?"Rika = :mon sweat:
"Uhm... you don't have to go out to buy food... Ayumi brought some food for us..."
Still with the smirk on her face, Ayumi tunefully gave credit to Hitomi. "Actually, Yocchan told me to bring food for Rika wherever we go..." She naughtily looked at Rika "President Yoshizawa doesn't want her baby to get hungry..."
Joseph felt like a piano came crashing down from the ceiling.
*Puta, nananadya ba 'to? (*expletive, is she saying these things on purpose?)For shame, Jo. And you dream of getting some Rika smooch-action with a mouth like that? :pimp:
"May, si Baldo naiinip na..." (May, Baldo's getting impatient)...Dan whispered to Mayumi, nervous.:scared:
"Sandali lang! Kung sana ganung kadali na maabutang mag-isa yang putang bata na yan, e..." (Wait! If only it was that easy to get that slut of a girl alone...)
"Mahigit isang linggo na tayo dito nag-iintay..." (We've been waiting for more than a week already...)
"Pag naka-tsamba tayo, tuloy-tuloy na... konting pasensya na lang... nakaplano na ang lahat..." (When we get our chance, everything will follow smoothly... just a little patience... I have everything planned out...)
"Rika-chan, You thinking of your prince again?" Ayumi called after noticing Rika's silence, which she never really grew accustomed to. "You know you can have more of her later," She taunted her friend.Shiba-chan = :mon misch:
"Now's the best time to start talking, you know?" Ayumi took a big bite of the chicken before putting her fork down and walking over to where Rika was seated. "While your other guy isn't here yet..."Oh, dear, sweet, clueless Rika. :lol:
"EH?!?!"
Ayumi laughed out loud. Rika really had no idea. Poor guy. "The friend of yours, Joseph, happens to like you."
"No way!"
"Way."
"Can't be..."
Ayumi crossed her arms and gave out an evil laugh. "Too bad, it's Yocchan he has to contend with... She's nicer, better looking, with better fashion sense, damn rich, and as far as my imagination can tell me... better in..." Ayumi paused before grinning and resuming the evil laugh.Oh, Jo got BURNED! And the poor kid's not even there to take it.
"You better start talking... Or else, I'll tell Mai that something did happen and make her ask you!"Shiba-chan = :kekeke:
Rika pictured it in her head. It was a rather vivid picture. She imagined Mai pouncing on her when she least expected it and beating the story out of her.
"Can't you at least ask her to ask Hicchan instead of me?"Oh...point, set, and MATCH to Shiba-chan!
"Ah~~ you're willing to sacrifice her for your own safety, huh?"
"That's not what I mean! They're best friends--"
"Like us. So if you expect her to be able to talk with Mai about it, why can't you talk to me about it?"
"Like us. So if you expect her to be able to talk with Mai about it, why can't you talk to me about it?"
Ayumi sat down on the chair, which Joseph occupied earlier, and kicked a leg of Rika's chair. "You better start talking... Or else, I'll tell Mai that something did happen and make her ask you!"
Hitomi clasped her hands on the desk. "I know... and I wouldn't want to part with her property but... Mama's long gone..."This is sooo kakkoi :wub:
"Alright already..." Rika admitted defeat as she took in a deep breath. As she exhaled to begin the narration, Ayumi's cellphone rang.Why? :on blackhole:
*ring*Re-enter...The Eyes. :shocked:
The Way quickly picked up the phone with the finesse and formality that he was trained in. "Good afterno--"
"Oi... I need to talk to the old pair..." Third crassly butted in.
The Way, surprised at the sudden call and demand chastised the agent. "Third, you know that you are not allowed to call this number nor speak to the former agents."
*THIRD-WAY CONVO*Oh boy. When one needs the knowledge of a retired/former agent, you know that all of a sudden you're dealing with something that has been in progress for quite a fair bit of time. This means there has been some big-time planning involved, and most likely involves a big-time, long-term goal.
"If we weren't in you house this morning while you we doing it, you have every right to keep it to yourselves... but having done it knowing that we were there... girl, you better start talking..."Shiba-chan = :twisted:
"Alright already..." Rika admitted defeat as she took in a deep breath. As she exhaled to begin the narration, Ayumi's cellphone rang.Shiba-chan = :doh:
She quickly pressed the answer button. "Yes, Yoshizawa-san... hmm? ... ... ... So you wan't me to take her home early? ... but Joseph's not here yet... ... ... okay... I'll be there as soon as possible..." Ayumi turned to Rika who was looking at her eagerly, knowing that the person who just called was Hitomi.Considering this twist in developments (namely, the fact that the old investors are coming out of the woodwork, AND they're pissed off), Rika's not safe when she's out in public instead of at home.
Man, you're a lucky girl...I have to get to the office quickly and you're going home..."Said it before and I'll say it again...poor Jo CANNOT catch a break.
"Eh? My time here isn't up yet--"
Right then and there, Joseph entered the room.
Ayumi packed up her things in a rush. "It is now... thanks, Joseph..." She gave him a quick glance before dragging Rika out of the room.
Ayumi watched Rika waving goodbye to her from the rear-view mirror as she drove away. The happy farewell was only interrupted by the sudden fall of rain that sent Rika running into the building.Ah, rainy season in RP...where the weather can go from perfectly clear to downpour in less than 30 seconds. XD
anyway... i've decided to write shorter updates... my brain is frying so... yeah... no logic at all... i just don't feel like writing long stuff...'Tis okay. At least you're not abandoning the fic altogether. :)
@JFC: sounds like you miss the RP...:lol:Well, yes and no. Family members and the shopping, yes. The heat/humidity/urban fumes, not so much.
Hitomi looked up at hearing the voice of the extra hand that she called for. "Un, Ayumi..."Well, it makes sense, in a way. The creditors/investors will likely accept no less than receiving their due payment directly from the Ishikawa family. So if that's what it takes, then that's what they're going to have to make happen. :yep:
"What was so urgent that you had to uproot Rika from her hospital duties?"
"I need you to set up bank accounts for Rika."
"What for?"
Hitomi paused. She knew she will get a scolding from Ayumi. "Rika has debts to pay back home..."
Yossie's paying, that's coolmaybe... i hope nothing bad happens...
Here, waiting, now get, writing, please ?!~ Pretty please, with YoMiki on top!~the Yomiki on top kept me from writing... i had to find extra large tongs to get it off the pretty please...
:mon beam: :cool1: Yossi is just to epic for wordsEPIC cannot describe how awesomely awesome yossui is...
Well, yes and no. Family members and the shopping, yes. The heat/humidity/urban fumes, not so much. :mon sweat:the traffic, dear, don't forget the traffic...
I admit, it would be nice to come back for a visit. Last time I went was in 2001.go to Palawan or somewhere remote... :LOL:
Well, it makes sense, in a way. The creditors/investors will likely accept no less than receiving their due payment directly from the Ishikawa family. So if that's what it takes, then that's what they're going to have to make happen. :yep:also... yossui doesn't want anyone to know how big a hand she has in this whole ordeal...
~kya Yossie wants to pay the debts :w00t: Why does she always have to be so kakkoi ? :farofflook:well, the whole 'everybody's-gonna-sue-rika-for-perjury-fraud-and-whatnot' is consequential to yossui's blindsighted investment in the name of the ishi... so, yossui, be a man and take responsibility...
Oh God no! :( Rika's dad sure racked up a lot of debt. I can't believe that Yossy is willing to sell her old home with all the memories of her childhood...then again, it wasn't exactly the best.the home of memories burnt down a long time ago... the house in question is just another property but the fact that yossui inherited it from her mom does make the whole house selling a wee bit difficult...
But damn...Ishiyoshi really does prevail, doesn't it? Yossy is the greatest, foreal. :heart:ishiyoshi prevailed, prevails, but the question is, will they prevail in the future?
Sorry I've been missing so many updates...but I do love you and your work, tru!! :heart:no need to be sorry, as you may have noticed, i haven't been working so much on the fic recently...*sigh* thanks for the love and support! :heart:
Yossie! :wub: *swooon* can she be any cooler?
actually yes!! :w00t:thanks for answering your own question... :lol:
A scene of a prince, who is 80% male, in a white horse saving a princess plays in my mind...Rika: Watashi no Oujisama~~
Rika's debts though are very worrysome. oh well.. Yossie can pull it off easy!money is no object... but there are many other things they should worry about...
Hitomi's head reeled to the left as the impact of Ayumi's hand on her cheek sounded simultaneously with the flash of lightning.
"... ... I was thinking 'what if she was pregnant?'... You know how it is here... and you told me yourself not to take her back to Japan... what if something happens to me? I just wanted to ensure her future..."
Hitomi's head reeled to the left as the impact of Ayumi's hand on her cheek sounded simultaneously with the flash of lightning.:mon spit: :mon scare:
Shiba-chan :mon curtain:there, there... /me pets Yankii Heart
Kakkoi Yossy :mon inluv:... Still, don't endanger the wife :mon nwei:an insurance plan could've done the trick... *sigh*
Nice update! :mon geek:thank you
:mon spit: :mon scare:monkeys speak louder than words...
Holy crap... Yossy did WHAT?! :mon wtf: But then Shiba-chan was :mon slapself: I'm in shock, foreal.thanks... :on beatup: she slapped me too...
Great update!!! :mon devcandy:
"If PubCom was what sunk CorPrint, these debts are really mine... ... and besides" Hitomi paused as a weak smile managed to show on her face. "Rika is married to me...":wriggly:
The last remark made Ayumi smile too.
"So, what do you want me to do?"DEFINITELY. :yep:
"Set-up accounts here... Nobody must know that I am personally involved in this. Since you are known to be her friend, even if you work for me, they can still make out a distinction... Banks elsewhere have agreed to predate all documents and records... and to vouch for Rika in case banks here check into her finances..."
"You don't trust bank executives here?"
"You know most of them are friends with HIM... Of all people... he should be the last to know... He shouldn't know..."
"The money to be deposited are in the armored car with Ayaka's people... just make the calls and distribute them accordingly... everything under Rika's name..."As long as Shiba-chan makes sure to NOT mention anything about PubCom/Yossi's connection to Rika, hopefully it should work out smoothly. The average bank employee won't have any knowledge of this. All they'll see is the potential for their bank to get a LOT of money, and that's something they won't likely risk messing up/turning away.
"How much?"
"Five million pesos..."
"Five banks?"
"Yes... I also want you to monitor the transfers from Europe to the bank accounts of the creditors... We might need to rely on American banks too so we have to work overtime..."
Woah this scheme is getting intense. (Wonder what Rika will say when she finds out)i wonder how she's gonna find out...
tru~~~~ :Dyo yo yo~!
maan... yossie is gonna go bankrupt!!!meh... 4 million yen... yossui's got a lot more dough...
oh well.. d(^.^)b yay to kakkoi oujisama~~YAY!!!
they should be a happy married couple forevar~ :yep::yep: :yep: :yep: no doubt about it...
:wriggly::wriggly
DEFINITELY. :yep:plus, yossui knows that Jin is really looking into Rika's identity (hiring the Eyes and all)
Yossi knows that if Jin finds out about this, he'll try to use it as leverage to gain back controlling interest in PubCom.
As long as Shiba-chan makes sure to NOT mention anything about PubCom/Yossi's connection to Rika, hopefully it should work out smoothly.i'm hopeful the transactions would all go smoothly...
*click*Rika-chan's such a sweet girl Ayaka smiled to herself
Wow, Yossy's really serious about paying back these debts. I hope she suceeds so everything can go back to being happy again! :lol: Aww, Rika is the damn cutest worried wife ever. :inlove: Always concerned about whether Yossy ate. :D For everyone's sake, I really hope this goes well and Rika doesn't find out. B/C I'm not so sure that it would turn out ok if she knew what was going on.yeah... i hope yossui and ayumi can iron everything out before the day ends...
Phew~ Maaan.. Rika having lots of debts is bad but having Yossie away from her is even worse.. :( 'Come back home~' :sweatdrop:yeah... Jin is so not welcome at this point but... he's like a kabute (mushroom) popping out when lightning strikes...
Hope this paying of debts is worth it... Im so not looking forward to Jin turning up... :angry:
Ayaka sounds really like a mother XDif yossui was one of my best friends, i'll act motherly too...
Yossie :onioncheer:
This isn't a very interesting comment coz I am uber tired and my brain is drained (you know what its like :P) but I gotta say, it is so good to have this fic back dear... I never released how much I missed it till you started writing it again :heart: And hell, it's not like it's been THAT long.I missed writing... i didn't realize it before but after going on days without updating, it felt like something was missing... so i'm updating as much as i can right now before the juice runs out...
You've made the RFP world part of our staple diet now, it's as if you've created a monster! :Omonster or not, i'm glad that you've made it a staple in your diet...
But I am giving you an evil glare for stopping that uber uber uber uber short update where you did... I want IshiYoshi, even if it's confrontational, nag dammit! :angry:here... update up... :lol:
Oh and gotta comment on the Ayu slap... Damn that was hot! XDit's in the name of the ishi
I am so glad that your back to updating.i'll just keep updating until i'm all dried up again... LOL... dunno how long this is going to last... but i'mma go crazy on it while i'm at it...
all I have to say is that Yossi + Rika = perfection and nothing in this world can break it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GO ISHIYOSHI!!!
Glad to have you back tru darlin :pandaaa:and i'm glad to be 'back'... but i'm still a bit out of it... i hope you guys don't mind...
yeah you've left this story for a long time~ (well atleast for me a week or so i already so long :lol:):lol:
do you know how hard it is to lurk and read nothing at all for many days?!?!?! :banghead:gomen... :lol: i'mma try to sustain this but i can't make any promises...
anyway you're back and that's what matters :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:i missed you too... :lol:
i like the shiba-slapped-big-boss scene! i kept on imagining it on my mind :rofl:i'm glad you liked it... that was totally unexpected too... XD
Dun dun DUNNNN! Man, Rika's debt problems and May's scheming. Things just aren't looking up for Rika are they.well, yossui's there so hopefully she can fix things and keep things from happening...
Mayumi has planned someting again this b... :on voodoo: :on kimbo:i see a get away vehicle and some costumes...
Whoa, Rika coming all of a sudden was a close call. *wipes sweat off brow* But she's just so sweet and sincere that you can't stay upset. :grin: Oh, almost!! :drool:/me wipes off drool on sbk's face
NOOOOO~~ Mayumi and Dan need to get away!!! :angry:if they stay away, i might never be able to finish this story!!!
Rika-chan's such a sweet girl Ayaka smiled to herself before calling to Hitomi on the intercom. "Yoshiko, I'm going home, okay?"Yossi was probably nodding her head (uber focused on her paperwork) and thinking that Ayaka was in the room with her or something. :lol:
She received silence as a response.
the intercom beeped again. "Yes?"Oh crap, Rika's there?!? :o
"President Yoshizawa?"
To Hitomi's surprise it was the guard on duty downstairs. "Yes. Is there a problem down there?"
"Ma'am... there is a woman here. She wants to see you daw po*" The guard struggled to complete the sentence in understandable English.
"A woman?"
"Opo, Ma'am. Her name Rika Ishikawa. But no ID."
"Ayumi, Rika-chan's in the building. She's on her way up."In other words, stall Rika so Yossi can clean up a bit and hide the evidence of what they've been doing.
"What?!"
"Don't tell her anything about this... Lie to her if you must. Please."
Just before Hitomi finished talking to herself had Rika pushed the door open. "To-chan..."Awwwwwwwwwwww...she brought Yossi some baon! (packed lunch/meal, like what the Japanese call a "bento"). :wub:
The opened doors revealed Rika in jeans and a blue t-shirt who was just as drenched from the rain as Ayumi earlier. The only thing not wet on her was a plastic bag she held.
Hitomi leaned down and planted a kiss on Rika's lips. "But you didn't need to come here and get yourself wet in the rain..."Oh Rika, you've been living in RP for the last few years and you STILL haven't figured out that when it rains, it RAINS? :rofl:
"I thought the rain would let up while I was in the cab..."
Hitomi sighed at Rika's failed foresight. "But your shirt's really wet. You should just take that off...":twisted:
"To-chan..." Rika gave Hitomi an inquisitive look. The suggestion didn't make sense to her at all.
Hitomi carefully unbuttoned her white polo. "You forget that I wear an undershirt..."Partially disappointed.
The couple stepped out of the bathroom with Rika wearing Hitomi's Banana Republic white polo. "Are you sure this is okay?"Yossi has a spare shirt available, right? She'd draw major stares if she left the building with only an undershirt for a top. XD
"May, ayus na ang lahat..." (May, everything is ready now...) Dan remarked as he took out some keys from his pocket.WTF? What are these two going to try to pull off this time?
Mayumi brought out two sets of scrub suits from her bag. "Buti nakahiram ka." (Good thing you were able to borrow one.)
Dan fitted the larger set on himself. "Tiempo na lang ang kailangan natin..." (We just need the proper timing...)
"Korek ka dyan. At pakiramdam ko malapit na malapit na yun..." (You're right about that. And I have a feeling that proper timing is really, really close) Mayumi grinned before covering her face with a surgical mask. "Ayus ba?" (How do I look?)
"Kumbinsing!" (Convincing!)
"Ka-chan... ... I just a have a couple more things to do..." Banks in the Midwest should be open by now... If I can only... "Ka-chan... go take a shower... you might get sick..." Hitomi suggested at Rika, covertly keeping her away from Hitomi as she finished her "work."Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, if Rika really wants Yossi to come to bed....:hump:
"Nice try changing the topic..." Rika placed her hands on her waist. "Fine... but as soon as I'm through, we're going to bed, okay?"
"Okay..."
Hitomi herself climbed up the bed and turned off the lamps on the bedside tables. After settling in and pulling the covers over them both, she felt Rika crawling on top of her.Under normal circumstances, this would be utterly AWESOME! :yep:
"You're not getting up early to get back to work... You won't leave me alone in this bed tonight..." Rika whispered in her ear.
This probably isn't the right time to tell her... Maybe tomorrow...She just has to be sure that SHE is the one to tell her. It'd be devastating for Rika to find all of this out from a stranger, or worse, from someone like Jin. :angry:
"Maybe you can spend some time on me again?" Rika smiled as she straddled Hitomi's hips
"Maybe you can spend some time on me again?" Rika smiled as she straddled Hitomi's hipsBut Rika, you are ON her! :twisted:
Yatta no debts! That better be it.. :angry:yeah... hopefully that's done and over with...
That hospital thing is sooo annoying.. :-\it's a family thing...
Ishiyoshi needs some luvin yo.. :yep: Cuddle here.. kiss there.. :wub: and some action in between.. :twisted:correction: action between the sheets
tru~~~ ima try and find u some links~~ LOVE MY LIFE~~~ LOVE MY ISHIYOSHI~~ishiyoshi=life thanks for the links... <3
Yeah !! Debt free :mon fyeah:finally...
:mon blood:LMAO!!
Love my life? Seriously!? I was disappointed in that movie... The girly character (not Eri, the other I think) annoyed me too much :P Although I did watch it just after 'I like it hot' which was an awesome movie so LML had a lot to live up to.*sigh* when you live in a country where 80% of the people are so narrow minded and media portrays everybody under catholic (yeah, i am a very sinful catholic) stereotypes, you would love movies like this...
I'll have to check out Spider Lilies :yep:you do that, girl...
I was getting worried that Yossy just made a promise to Rika that she wouldn't be able to keep but I'm so glad she thought of a way around it and instead gets a reward for staying in bed :twisted:BFFs=lifesavers...
Poor Ayumi though, she better get a pay rise ;)Amen.
But yeah, Yossy needs to do it before it's too late!yeah...
Plotting May is interesting; they're gonna pose as hospital staff? Where will it go from here... *breaks into song from Buffy the Musical with a similar hook line*the plot thickens a wee bit... *gets some cornstarch* there...
Oh and:lol:"Maybe you can spend some time on me again?" Rika smiled as she straddled Hitomi's hipsBut Rika, you are ON her! :twisted:
"yeah... I guess your right about that... it would be too much of a coincidence if she and Chimu is the same person..."
@JFC:i missed you~~~~Awwwww... :oops:
* tru hugs JFC
... you're like my kuya around here
Hitomi awoke to the incessant buzzing of her cellphone under her pillow. She quickly reached for the thing and turned the alarm off. It was already 1:10am. Apparently her cellphone had been buzzing for ten minutes straight.But...does she have to push Rika off of her? ;D
Still a bit groggy, she tried to get up in order to resume her work.
She tried to pull herself up but to know avail. Only after a few minutes did she realize that someone had not rolled off her body since falling asleep.Guess so. :P
She quickly dialled Ayumi's number. Not surprisingly, the senior accountant was still awake and at it./me knocks on wood.
...
"Well, Yoshizawa-san... the transfers are almost complete... before office starts tomorrow, Ishikawa-san will be debt free..." Ayumi said in a jokingly-formal tone.
"I will see you at the office, then. Thank you for the hard work. You can have the day off tomorrow." Hitomi smiled as she heard a loud 'YEAH!' from the receiver. "Go and get some well deserved rest... Bye..."Kami-sama knows that if anyone deserves a day off, right now it's Shiba-chan.
"You didn't even call me yesterday to tell me you're working overtime... You're gonna start spending less time with me?" Rika said in a whiny tone.Guess Rika's definitely over her earlier apprehensions, eh? :hump:
"No... Of course not... I've just been very busy... That's all..."
"But you aren't busy now, are you...?"
"No... not at all..." Hitomi could feel Rika's lips on her chest. She was planting butterfly kisses as she unbuttoned Hitomi's pajama top.
"Maybe you can spend some time on me again?" Rika smiled as she straddled Hitomi's hips
*THE EYES INVESTIGATING*Something to know when you're in RP and you're trying to do anything bureaucratic or involving records... don't expect good ones to be kept, even if they're supposed to be recent. :thumbdown:
Hitomi laid blissfully, with Rika in her arms. She stared up the ceiling, as her breathing slowed down to its regular pace.I say again...lucky Yossi.
"When we left home... she said, she'll take care of me... ..."It could have been that she really did mean well and that she really did mean to take care of Rika, but if Dan was already an "undesirable" character when May met him, it could have been all his influence that changed her attitude. It almost makes one wonder if things would have turned out differently (i.e. with May NOT turning out to be a total bitch), if she had never met and hooked up with Dan after they came over from Japan.
"yeah... I guess your right about that... it would be too much of a coincidence if she and Chimu is the same person...":mon spit: they defitive the same person :mon determined:
"I will be by your side forever. Trust me."Ishiyoshi sweetness :wub:
@JFC: Lucky Yossui... why can't i have a rika like her? LOL ...You might want to make sure the GF doesn't hear you say that. :lol:
*JIN WITH HIS STOOGE*:angry: :thumbdown: :scolding: :temper: :mon kungfu: :pig realmad: :on voodoo: :gmon pissed: :smoke: :mon fierce: :kickass: :mon annoy: :bangchair: :fuckyou:

Frick, Jin is on the move. I REFUSE to believe that he will win though. I have faith!!! :yep:KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!
"Do what you want, To-chan... If you want to move, we will... Wherever you are, that's where I'll be..."
"He's your father... Why would he want to hurt you?"Come to think of it.. Why does he? Is he mental or something... ?
"I don't know.. but whenever I'm happy... like this... he does something to ruin everything..."
"Do what you want, To-chan... If you want to move, we will... Wherever you are, that's where I'll be..."Suweeet... [baka langgamin!]
Rika followed closely behind her. She was still lost at how the toast could've burnt when she only left it in the kitchen for a few minutes to *attend* to Hitomi in the room. Probably it wasn't just a few minutes.:mon evillaff: :mon mischief:
"Do what you want, To-chan... If you want to move, we will... Wherever you are, that's where I'll be..."
Oh no Rika's going to the hospital alone! Perfect time for Mayumi to put her plan into action.Ah~ when it rains it pours...
They are so freaking adorable together.:yep: :yep: :yep: no doubt about it...
Whoa, Rika burnt toast?! :lol: I wonder what they were doing that caused her to be away so long.... :twisted:the question is how soon?
I agree, they should move b/c I'm pretty sure Jin's gonna do something bad soon.
Come to think of it.. Why does he? Is he mental or something... ?WHY, JIN??? WHY!?!?!
Suweeet... [baka langgamin!]I've already dug a moat around them... hopefully, the ants won't make it...
:mon evillaff: :mon mischief::lol:
:mon lovelaff:ishiyoshi = :heart:
"... To-chan next time, you do *that* in the kitchen... for sake of the toast!" Rika looked at her lover naughtily before entwining herself on Hitomi's arm.Hekhekhek.. *that* huh? :mon mischief:
Hitomi laughed as she placed a hand on Rika's. "Ka-chan..."oh dear.. here it comes..
"Hmm?" Rika turned to ask as the two walked closer to the door. They almost down at the first floor.
"Uh... Sorry to bring this up now... I can't really think of a proper time to talk about it--"OH WTH?! :mon mad: :mon fire:
Without warning and seemingly out of nowhere, a hand slapped Rika's face hard. It was Jin. Apparently, he was expecting them.
Rika was shocked. She could only look at Hitomi for an explanation. An explanation Hitomi herself didn't have.
Before Jin could've said a word, a fist had flown to his face, sending him to the ground, followed by a foot to his chest. "How dare you lay a hand on her?!"
Jin slowly got up, undaunted by his daughter's retaliation. "I cannot believe you, Hicchan... I thought you were smarter than this... Then again, you didn't know what lying bastard the father of this Jezebeel was..." He paused a bit before looking at Rika with disgust. "... Tell me, Hicchan... how wide did this ... ... woman... of yours spread her legs to convince you to save her from debt?"OH HELL NO! U SON OF A B**CH!!
That question only had one answer and Hitomi knew it well.Goddamn! Kill the freaking bastard Yossui! :mon zoom: :on voodoo:
She sent him to the floor again with a fist and a kick before taking a now-crying Rika in her arms and leading her to the car outside.
She could faintly hear Jin laughing behind them.
Without warning and seemingly out of nowhere, a hand slapped Rika's face hard. It was Jin.Jin you little... :mon wtfmm: :mon mad:
"I trusted her... ... I trusted you. Why didn't you trust me?":mon wtf: :mon hanky:
Previous update: HOLY CRAP!!!! :shocked: O hell no, Jin did NOT just slap Rika-chan!!!! :tama-mad: Fuck, and on top of that, he pretty much calls her a slut!!! :angry: *cracks knuckles and prepares to pound Jin herself**grabs brass knuckles* okay... I'm with you on that, girl
This update: No.... :cry: Fuck, she's mad. I hope she can see that Yossy was only keeping it a secret to protect her. *starts to cry and beg* Please, Rika-chan!!! :grin:I hope she can hear you...
:mon wtfmm: :mon mad: :mon wtf: :mon hanky:as i said before, monkeys speak louder than words...
"Please, To-chan... just give me some time... We can talk about this later..."At least she called her To-chan, that's a good sign right?
As soon as she knew that Hitomi was out of sight, she held the hand the her prince kissed in her other hand. She understood why Hitomi did what she did. She understood why her father was secretive about business and why Kotaro left her without warning. They were afraid that their words, words admitting their helplessness, would hurt her. She knew that Hitomi, like them, was doing everything she could to keep her safe.Awww, also good signs... kinda :-\
... since they've been together for such a short time.Not such a good sign :( No Rika, don't start questioning how long you guys have been together and what that means for trust and validity :cry:
"Tita, kung tungkol kay Hitomi lang ang sasabihin ninyo, 'Wag na po ninyong ituloy. Hindi po ako makikipag-hiwalay sa kanya dahil lang hindi siya lalaki..." (Tita, if you're just going to talk about Hitomi, it would be better if you don't proceed. I'm not going to break up with her just because she's not a man)More of a good sign :otomerika: (am I getting annoying by pointing all these out yet? :P)
(Rika, I'm just looking out for you... I know she is rich and intelligent... she has her own business and you will never have financial problems ever... but... why can't you just find a nice man you can marry? ... Joseph for one... he's a good boy... Maybe not as smart and wealthy as Hitomi, but he's educated and has a bright future ahead of him... He likes you and i think he's not going to hurt you--)Awww, Tita is sweet... at least she isn't completely ignorant and can see the nice things in Yocchan... Plus she really does care for Rika :heart: But not Joseph... He couldn't protect her, nor make her happy! :roll:
"Tita, tama na po... please... Wala po ako sa kundisyon para pag-usapan 'to..." (Tita, stop it... please... I'm not in the mood to be talking about this now...)WOW, stubborn, pissed off, bitchy Rika is hella hot :shocked: :drool: :mon crazyinlove: :wub:
awwww poor rika chan.......... sorry, haven't been here for a while. I was sick........ going to dr soon as a matter of fact.i hope you get well, sweeets
You know what time it is? Time for tita mayu to come and screw things up even more. This sooooo sucks.is it that time already?! *sigh*
oh well. Hope you update again soon. Do it for your sick little buddy *cough cough* =3updating not just for you... but updating nonetheless...
HEY~~~~! Why don't you miss me? XDWe we're just talking... :lol: but i do miss your comments around here... thank you for liking them...
You've put a chunk of effort into these last updates, I liiiike it :D
At least she called her To-chan, that's a good sign right?i believe so...
Awww, also good signs... kinda :-\... What you said...
I like that we get to see so much of what Rika's thinking right now... really helps us see how hard and confusing it is for her with so many sides to look at... but at least she isn't insanely mad at Yossy, she's just making sure she has her own time right now, which is best... She needs to think of herself sometime or another, glad it's now :)
Not such a good sign :( No Rika, don't start questioning how long you guys have been together and what that means for trust and validity :cry:*pat pat pat* there there...
More of a good sign :otomerika: (am I getting annoying by pointing all these out yet? :P)not really...
Awww, Tita is sweet... at least she isn't completely ignorant and can see the nice things in Yocchan... Plus she really does care for Rika :heart: But not Joseph... He couldn't protect her, nor make her happy! :roll:i still dislike her for her anti-ishiyoshi campaign...
WOW, stubborn, pissed off, bitchy Rika is hella hot :shocked: :drool: :mon crazyinlove: :wub::twisted:
Just don't be like that with Joseph or he'll fall for you even more Rika :angry:
Oh, bright idea... We could totally feed May & co to the shark that is Jin, and then call SeaWorld to come collect him :w00t:maybe... but not now... RFP needs these people...
maybe... but not now... RFP needs these people...Nah, we can always just skip right to the scene I'm hanging out for :twisted: Ok I'll stop with the obsessing over it :oops:
Because I miss lollipopgirl even if we're actaully talking as i write this...What can I say? So lovable that a second apart makes people miss me 8) XD
She wanted to kick herself again for leaving Rika behind. But Rika did ask for some time alone. Even though she could just stick around without showing herself to Rika, she didn't want to be dishonest again (in a manner of speaking). Rika asked for time and it was only proper to give her that time.GOOD~! Finally, you're letting your pride go and thinking about what is most important, how to keep Rika and what she wants (ok this seems a little stupid to say considering the impending doom, but lets just forget that for a sec :P)
"Rika..." Hitomi banged her head on the wall. She couldn't forget how Rika looked at her after being slapped by Jin. She looked scared and confused. Hitomi felt helpless. She chuckled at herself for feeling helpless. She imagined herself to be invincible but she is beginning to realize how much of that is imagination.Poor Yossy, the one thing she was sure of was that she could protect Rika but right in front of her her own father abuses her Ka-chan physically, verbally and emotionally and yet she couldn't stop... No wonder she is feeling like crap, in her eyes, it must all seem like her fault! :cry:
The lift had made it to its destination and Hitomi heard the doors sliding open but she didn't want to turn around.XD Rika would find it cute, if she were not hot, bitchy, pissed off Rika right now :drool: (damn, why isn't she in this update :lol: )
She took one step back. And another. Three, four, five. She walked out of the elevator and through the hall backwards. Nobody else really stuck around that floor so she wouldn't really bump into anybody.
Rika was really exceptional, always thinking positive, even in the face of burnt toast.POSITIVE~ V V! Or whatever :P
She finally made it to her desk. There were piles of paper towering over her as she sat down. Hopefully, she would be done in time to fetch Rika.Oh you better :roll: Rika is uno right now... business can wait if need be :angry:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHARMY PREVAILS!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~She does? XD

Even though she could just stick around without showing herself to Rika, she didn't want to be dishonest again (in a manner of speaking). Rika asked for time and it was only proper to give her that time.myeah.. that was right of her to leave Rika and give her some time.. but its not safe!!
Most of what she had planned to do was somehow related to Rika's debts in one way or another. She had to make sure that everything went as smoothly as Ayumi said. After their conversation earlier, she hasn't received word on the matter. Most likely, Ayumi was still fast asleep. Last night was a really long night for her.awww.. it can't be helped it was all sudden.. Yossui.. :(
"Rika..." Hitomi banged her head on the wall. She couldn't forget how Rika looked at her after being slapped by Jin. She looked scared and confused. Hitomi felt helpless. She chuckled at herself for feeling helpless. She imagined herself to be invincible but she is beginning to realize how much of that is imagination.
The lift had made it to its destination and Hitomi heard the doors sliding open but she didn't want to turn around.:wub: for some reason it feels like they broke up.. with her reminiscing and stuff..
She walked into her office backwards, pushing the doors open with her behind. Anyone else in the office would find it weird except Ayaka and Mai. It's always just them. Maybe Rika would find it cute.
She smiled thinking about Rika. Rika found everything about her kakkoi or cute. Her speech, her mannerisms, her diet, everything. Rika was really exceptional, always thinking positive, even in the face of burnt toast.
This morning was a real surprise. But her reaction was understandable. How can anyone think positive after being slapped by their intended father-in-law?That's what i said.. well around to that point.. :sweatdrop:
She finally made it to her desk. There were piles of paper towering over her as she sat down. Hopefully, she would be done in time to fetch Rika.Just go and fetch her now! I have a bad feeling.. Maybe its just me.. but really.. really bad...
Nah, we can always just skip right to the scene I'm hanging out for :twisted: Ok I'll stop with the obsessing over it :oops:the more you ask for a make-up sex scene, the less likely i will change my mind about it
What can I say? So lovable that a second apart makes people miss me 8) XDXD
of course... all the time... this is the more-on-the-ishi-shipper you're talking to... she always prevails!Quote~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHARMY PREVAILS!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~She does? XD

Yocchan Rika GANBARE !!! :onioncheer:GO GO GO!
ooooh what's gonna happen now? Gee I wonder.....i wonder too...
Can't wait for the next agonising chapter in this thrilling 2784ilogyyou counted?! XD
Does Yossi have to be such a maverick? haha ;)... it's much cuter that way... *imagines yossui running on the street*
Joseph stood across the bench that Rika occupied. He didn't notice that he had been staring at her for awhile. She wore the same sad look from this morning. He dared not ask her why she was sad. Although he wanted to hear that she and Hitomi were having problems, he knew that further discussion wouldn't help Rika.Then don't say anything :roll:
The look in Rika's face told him that he chose the wrong topic to begin a conversation.Isn't everything the wrong topic atm? :P
She didn't even stop to catch her breath. She and Rika had a lot to talk about. If they were going to have a life together, she had to be honest with Rika.Kyaaa~! :mon inluv: Yossy seems like such a superhero, rushing to get to her beloved Ka-chan before it's too late :heart:
She walked past the long queues to nowhere in the lobby and headed straight to the stairwell, choosing to climb up by foot rather than waiting for the elevator.
"Day-off n'ya ngayon... Nag-overtime kasi s'ya kahapon... May pinagawa si Hicchan sa kanya..." (It's her day-off today... She had to work overtime yesterday... Hicchan asked her to do something...) Rika replied, not looking at her inquisitor. "... ... Hicchan... She's always having things done for me..." Tears welled up in her eyes. "... She treats me like a princess... ... She does everything to make sure I'm safe and happy..."Awww poor Rika, she must be in such much turmoil right now... she knows how much she means to Yocchan but can she keep being hidden from everything to protect her... Rika is a big girl, she can look after herself (sometimes), is Yossy too late at realising this... Dun dun duuuuuun~!
"Rika, mahal kita... di man ako kasing yaman ni Hitomi, kakayanin kong ibigay sa'yo lahat ng gusto mo..." (Rika, I love you... I may not be as rich as her, but I will do everything to give you everything you want...)Oh no, he said it :O
Rika didn't know that Joseph wasn't the only one walking away with tears in his eyes and his shoulders down.Oh crud muffin :cry:
NO! They finally got Rika :cry:. Stupid Yossie and stupid Jo :banghead:. Yall better go get her back.we all have our stupid moments... too bad they both had theirs at the same time at Rika-chan's expense...
Oh and thanks for the dedication and I don't mind that this isn't GAM, ishiyoshi's my favorite GAM is just great too :Pthank you. IshiYoshi rules!
I'm glad Yossy went back. Rika is her one true love. She should know that.yeah... if she doesn't yet, i'mma grab my drill and make sure that makes it into her skull... but that isn't necessary now, she did go back.
Ah, fuck. It's Mayumi and Dan, huh? They have Rika in the body bag. :mon tantrum:Please Yossui, save the day once more...
Save her, Yossy. Please. :gmon tears:
They got Rika... :scared: :scolding:yeah... man...
Yossie GANBARE !!!! :onioncheer:GO Yossui!!
I've been getting into the habit of doing slightly longer comments for you my dear but I don't have time for that atm :( But I :heart: you so I gotta comment anyway :Di heart you too... and so does the queen... thanks
Damn you, you made me feel bad for Joseph again :rolleyes:Wha~t? :lol:
WOW... May & Dan had a freakin' awesome plan, why didn't I think of that!!! I've gotta hand it to them for that, although they did make it so they HAD to have Rika alone which they were lucky about :lol:It's all about timing...
THE RING?!?! Noooo :cry: I love the concept of the ring, anything but it! Thank god Yossy is smart and put two and two together pretty darn fast coz otherwise she could have misinterpreted the ring being left behind as Rika taking it off and leaving it on purpose. Poor Yossy (and Joseph) though, if I was them I would blame myself for this :(one heart-breaking moment of misunderstanding is enough, i think...
And that body bag BETTER HAVE MOVED!!! :angry:the chloroform is wearing off, i think...
Seeing you didn't mention anyone prevailing this time, I will!I prevail... no matter what your crazy textbook says...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~GOD prevails~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :otomerika:
(although according to my textbook inhibitory signaling prevails... crazy textbook knows nothing!)
Update soon so I have a bed-time chapter to clear my mind before sleep tonight (or early tomorrow morning)... No pressure as always :PI feel absolutely no pressure at all... nada...
OMG!!! Yossie!!! @#!% Jo!!! *@%$Yo and Jo: #$%^&^%$!!! :lol:
missed you too, being no rich is very time consuming.these are times when we wish that we're as rich as yossui
OH I GET IT! They like, drugged her or overpowered her or something, put her in a body bag, dressed as hospital people and took her away. Smart. Assholes. Come on Yoshi, chase them down and wretch your vengence from their cold dead hearts! Wreak havoc among them and free your pretty little princess!Go, Yossui!
Hitomi held on to her sides as she walked out of their flat laughing. Their home smelled like burnt toast because there really was burnt toast from breakfast.Dayum! :lol:
Rika followed closely behind her. She was still lost at how the toast could've burnt when she only left it in the kitchen for a few minutes to *attend* to Hitomi in the room. Probably it wasn't just a few minutes.
Joseph would surely be there, Rika had repeatedly argued. Hitomi conceded, not wanting to give a hint that Joseph worried her too, for other reasons.Meh, Yossi can still take him. :yep:
"Ka-chan... I think I want to move house..."The sad thing here is that Yossi has a very, VERY valid point (especially considering the fact that she knows about the connection with Jin, CorPrint, and PubCom). That, PLUS Jin's continued efforts to re-take control of the company from Yossi, one can never know. If they DO move, however, they need to keep it a secret as much as possible to keep whoever is Jin's stooge from finding out and reporting back.
Rika leaned her head on Hitomi' shoulder. "Why?"
"Well for one, it's getting a bit too congested in this side of town... Also, To-san knows where we live..."
"Would it matter if he did?"
"Well, he's very unpredictable... I don't know.... He might do something to hurt you..."
Without warning and seemingly out of nowhere, a hand slapped Rika's face hard. It was Jin. Apparently, he was expecting them.KICK HIS ASS YOSSI!!!
Rika was shocked. She could only look at Hitomi for an explanation. An explanation Hitomi herself didn't have.
Before Jin could've said a word, a fist had flown to his face, sending him to the ground, followed by a foot to his chest. "How dare you lay a hand on her?!"
Rika neither made any move nor sound. She just sat in the car, seemingly lifeless, still stunned by what transpired in the lobby, grasping at straws at what Jin meant. Obviously, he knew Rika's father-- not in a good way.And obviously Rika had no idea that Jin knew her father. NOW she's going to start asking questions, and Yossi's going to have to give up what she knows.
"I trusted her... ... I trusted you. Why didn't you trust me?":cry:
She was angry because she didn't know that she had such problems. She was denied the chance to be responsible for her father's mistakes. She was angry that she was denied the option to ask for help. She was angry because she had to hear it from Jin. She was angry that Jin held her father in that kind of reputation. He implied that her father was some pimp. How dare he?And of course, this is the type of reaction that Jin wanted to get out of her, to hopefully drive enough of a wedge between the two of them so as to provide enough of a distraction so that he can come back in and take over again.
*RIKA WITH TITA EULA*Typical old-school 'Pino way of thinking. Not surprised at all that Eula's taking this position. She can't help it if that's the way she was raised and that's the only way she knows.
The lift had made it to its destination and Hitomi heard the doors sliding open but she didn't want to turn around.Well, that was random. :?
She took one step back. And another. Three, four, five. She walked out of the elevator and through the hall backwards. Nobody else really stuck around that floor so she wouldn't really bump into anybody.
She walked into her office backwards, pushing the doors open with her behind. Anyone else in the office would find it weird except Ayaka and Mai. It's always just them. Maybe Rika would find it cute.
Hitomi looked at her watch. It was ten minutes past six o'clock.Yossi = :doh:
...
she was in the middle of Edsa, without a phone to contact Rika or the Eyes. She had no choice but to stay there and wallow in Manila's most famous exhibit: traffic.
Hitomi shut her engine and stepped out of her car. She knew it was illegal and dangerous for her to leave her vehicle in the middle of the road but that didn't matter anymore. She can easily pay her way out of trouble. This was the Philippines, after all.It's not likely that she'd have to pay that much anyway. As long as the car doesn't get stolen she should be fine. ;D
"Rika, mahal kita... di man ako kasing yaman ni Hitomi, kakayanin kong ibigay sa'yo lahat ng gusto mo..." (Rika, I love you... I may not be as rich as her, but I will do everything to give you everything you want...)Gotta give him some props for having the balls to finally say this, but considering the other circumstances...oh crap. :O
She peeked from behind the wall and saw Joseph at the feet of Rika. She heard him say the only Filipino words she can remember followed by words she didn't understand. She listened closely for her response.Oooooooooooooh crap! :o
==
"Mahal kita, Joseph... pero bilang kaibigan lang..."
Rika didn't know that Joseph wasn't the only one walking away with tears in his eyes and his shoulders down.OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH CRAP!
Jo walked away from Rika, knowing that he had lost. In Filipino, 'basted'.Question now is, will he be willing to do what it takes to mend it (even if it means giving up on his chances with Rika)?
...
He wanted to be alone. He wanted silence. He wanted to see Rika but his pride advised him against going back to her.
Only then did he realize what he had done to his friendship with Rika.
She wasn't Catholic but she appreciated the art. Her trips to the Vatican were all for the art. Even if she was no believer, whatever those artists believed in must truly be divine to inspire such expression of beauty. She silently entered the sanctuary and gazed at the altar.RUN YOSSI! RUN LIKE THE WIND TO YOUR KA-CHAN!!! :cow:
...
Hitomi quickly stood up, as if knowing exactly where she was at the moment, she walked out of the chapel. And ran back to Rika.
Hitomi stopped as the stretcher rolled on right in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat. Scared of a cadaver?ONOES!!! IT'S MAY AND DAN!!! THEY GRABBED RIKA AND HID HER IN THE BODY BAG!!!
One of the the personnel, apparently a woman, looked back at her. She looked familiar but Hitomi just couldn't tell. They had their scrub suits and surgical masks on.
She looked at the body bag again as it was being pushed away. Did that body bag just move?
At seeing the ring, the image of the body bag and the two hospital personnel flashed in her mind.And hope that they get someone who hasn't been "bought" by Baldo.
She quickly picked the ring up and ran back to where she last saw the “personnel”. Before turning the corner she looked back to Joseph.
“Rika’s in danger! Call the police!”
"Bakit ka ba nagmamadali, May?" (Why are we rushing, May?) Dan asked, a bit worried about all the noise Mayumi was making bumping into benches and walls.Yeah, you'd BETTER be worried, cuz once Yossi gets her hands on you AND you find out she's a "she"!
"Hindi mo ba nakita? Yung boyfriend nito, nakasalubong natin kanina!" (Didn't you see? We just passed her boyfriend a while back!) Mayumi mumbled under her mask.
Dan didn't notice Hitomi at all. He was too worried about this evening's "transaction". Baldo had told him that the Japanese customer had agreed to meet with them in a factory warehouse in Caloocan. Why do these things always happen in factory warehouses?FAKK! They plan on selling Rika as some sort of personal slave! :angry:
*makeshift ambulance = most of the ambulances here in the Philippines are converted vans... that's how insane we are here..Not to mention ass-poor since the hospitals can't afford proper ambulances.
Hitomi saw one ambulance driving off. She ran to it and clearly saw Mayumi on the passenger’s seat.Yep. And what's NOT lax can often be made so with a little grease in the palm. :banghead:
She found the laxness of security in the hospital unbelievable. Who knew it was that easy to steal a supposed corpse from a hospital? Then again, knowing how lax everything is in this country, this shouldn’t surprise her at all.
Hitomi was lucky taxis were plentiful on this side of the city. Her car was too far away and getting it from where she left it would waste precious time.Not to derail from the mood of the chapter, but it would have been so awesome if Yossi had hopped on a "tricycle" instead. XD
She quickly hopped into the first one that stopped for her. "Follow that ambulance, please!"
By some stroke of luck, the taxi's headlights were broken. This was supposedly illegal, to be driving at night without headlights, but authorities don't really bother even if they can pose as a major traffic hazard.Yeah, unless an accident happens, the authorities are usually too lazy to get off their asses to do anything. In this case, it IS a good thing though, as it will hopefully reduce the chances of May and Dan realizing that they're being followed.
At the intersection of Del Monte and Araneta avenues, the ambulance just beat the red light. The taxi dutifully stopped, to Hitomi’s frustration. Dan and May were getting away while she was stuck in a semi-law-abiding taxi. “Just go! Follow that ambulance!”Now THAT's a first (for me at least). A Filipino driver in RP that ACTUALLY STOPS at a red light!
“Sir, red po yung stop light.” He pointed out.
She understood him enough. He used enough English.
“I don’t care, GO!” She gave him another 1000 peso bill. “Please!” It’s not like anybody is going to arrest them or anything.
@JFC: aww... kuya... i would've loved to make yossui hop into a tricycle and chase that ambulance... but tricycles are illegal on major roadsYeah, I know. It'd still would have been awesome though. :D
I'm glad you finally caught up... there was a part of me that was worried... i am a worry wart... then again, i guess that's just the kid in me... i missed you *hugs*...Huwag kang mag alala, iha. I might get behind, but I'll find a way (sooner or later) to catch up. :)
i'm also running on caffeine and sugar right now... i think that would be for the best for me, as in typing with my eyes open wide...I'll probably be doing that in about 8 hours. :yep:
Rika awoke to the sensation of the world around her shaking. At awaking to the darkness of the body bag, she had to blink twice to make sure that she really had her eyes open and it's just that her whole surroundings were dark.Yeah...waking up in a body bag. That's DEFINITELY an experience that we could do without.
She squirmed in the bodybag feeling the material surrounding her. The fabric felt like tightly weaved cotton. Luckily this country has yet to discover rubber and plastic body bags. Cotton was breathable. At least, it would not be able to suffocate Rika to death.Most fortunate, not just for Rika, but also for May and Dan. If they were scared of having Baldo and his potential customer pissed off at them now, imagine what it would be like if they showed up with a dead Rika. :o
"Rika... may gustong makakilala sa'yo..." (Rika... There's someone here who wants to meet you...) Her vision was still blurred, her eyes overwhelmed by the sudden exposure to light, but she was certain it was her stepmother speaking to her.:angry:
Hitomi could only glare at the driver when he refused to turn the corner from A. Bonifacio avenue to a minor street. She read suspicion and mistrust on his face as he refused the thousand peso bill in her hand.For anyone not in the know, let's just say that Yossi's just walked into the wrong part of town. :O
"Sir, delikado na po dito. Pasensya na po. Hanggang dito na lang." (Sir, it's already dangerous here. I'm sorry. I can only drive you up to this point.)
She stepped out of the cab and found herself in a place she's never been before. The sign read: 11th avenue. Where the hell is that?!
She took out her phone and dialled Joseph's cellphone number. The receipient of the call picked up fast.MOVE YOUR ASS BOY!!!
"Joseph, I'm on 11th avenue, from A. Bonifacio. I'm still looking for her but I think they haven't taken her far from here."
"Okay. Uh..."
"Just get them here."
"E, yung sumapak sa'kin, nakita 'nyo ba?" (The one who socked me, did you find him?)I am SO looking forward to the moment when they find out that the one that beat Baldo's ass before was a woman. :angry:
"Hindi... baka ginamit lang 'to tapos iniwan din..." (No... maybe he just got his way with her and then left her)
About ten feet away was a black Toyota Fortuner. Rika couldn't see who the passengers were but from the silhouettes, she was certain there were three men inside the vehicle.SOMEONE SAVE HER ALREADY!!!
The grin on his face widened when he saw Rika crying. "Wala nang magliligtas sa'yo ngayon..." (Nobody can save you this time...)
The silence was broken only by a single gunshot from outside.
The silence was broken only by a single gunshot from outside.:mon wtf:
She had to conserve bullets as she didn't know how many more goons there were. She also wanted to save a bullet each for Dan and Baldo. They will pay for what they have done to Rika.
Dan's touch terrified Rika more than the series of gunshots which were fired earlier. His touch coupled with the darkness made her want to just breakdown and cry. But she can't breakdown now. She didn't want to give him that satisfation.
Hitomi took a buckshot round from the guard's belt and loaded it into the shotgun he previously weilded.Yossi's got Commando skillz! :o
He had been careless. Hitomi found sneaking up on him easier than kicking her father's ass. She almost effortly subdued him with a shot on his shoulder.
The guard laid unconscious on the cold pavement.
Hitomi held the shotgun firmly as she stepped over him as she entered the warehouse complex.
Baldo, who was still talking to the client, didn't look bothered at all. He simply signalled to one of his men to go and check out what went down outside.Probably trying to keep the client calm. If Baldo doesn't look like he's worried, then the client won't worry.
"Yes, boss" as expected, was the response.
Hitomi slowly climbed up one of the cargo vans in the warehouse complex as she strategized.Hmmm....time for a diversion, maybe?
She watched them carefully from her perch. She had to conserve bullets as she didn't know how many more goons there were. She also wanted to save a bullet each for Dan and Baldo. They will pay for what they have done to Rika.
Maybe...
Rika wanted to make the run for the exit now. Not that she hadn't thought of it earlier but the thought of Hitomi outside told her the run wouldn't be in vain.As dangerous as it is id be hoping Rika would make a run for it just for the effort.. Tochan is there! :(
Baldo looked a bit worried now, ordering another goon to shut off all the lights. Dan immediately grabbed Rika to make sure that she doesn't use this opportunity to escape.missed chance... :cry:
She quietly thanked the corpse sprawled on the floor for having a gun familiar to her. Blood oozed from the gunshot wound on his head, a little over his right ear.thank you corpse! i get a taste of blood! beautiful~
Dan's touch terrified Rika more than the series of gunshots which were fired earlier. His touch coupled with the darkness made her want to just breakdown and cry. But she can't breakdown now. She didn't want to give him that satisfation.Awww.. Rika-chan... be strong! those filthy guys aren't worth your tears... :cry:
Hitomi breathed in deep. She knew she had to do this quickly and quietly.*crosses fingers* u can make it.. :O
She watched them carefully from her perch. She had to conserve bullets as she didn't know how many more goons there were. She also wanted to save a bullet each for Dan and Baldo. They will pay for what they have done to Rika.Let them have it Yossie! Rika-chan needs to be in your arms!
Maybe...Maybe?? Maybe?? What Maybe?!!
Rika thrashed about as Dan’s grip on her became tighter. The fear and shame from what happened before had turned into anger and strength. The gunshots that she heard earlier told her that someone was there for her. Regardless of who it is, someone out there was fighting for her. And she should fight for herself.GO RIKA! :cow:
“Bagsak na si Boy!” Rika heard someone shouting.Wait, I thought Yossi couldn't speak Tagalog. :? Could it be one of Baldo's goons?
Dan dragged Rika behind some crates. Mayumi was cowering nearby. Even Baldo ducked in fear and ran to the other side of the warehouse.Not so tough now without the goons, eh Baldo? :shakeit:
Hitomi stepped on the goon who dared to stop her.Yossi = :cool1:
He screamed in pain as he felt her foot on his leg. He could hear the bones in his leg cracking under her step.
*YOSSI PUNCHES OUT MORE GOONS*Pacquiao would be proud. :yep:
Without further thought, she shot at his hand, the one that held the pistol. Dan, unable to get a grip of the weapon, involuntarily dropped it to the ground.Oooooooooooooh...smart move. Can't pull the trigger if your hand is fucked.
Hitomi ran closer to where he stood./me winces and crosses legs together.
The dedicated bullet
She aimed at his groin and fired a shot. Rika, as a reflex, closed her eyes. Dan's scream echoed on the walls of the warehouse.
Blood gushed from where his manhood was as he laid on the floor, begging for mercy.
"Let's go, Ka-chan... Let's go home." Hitomi took her hand and led her from behind the crates to the exit.WTF, there were more goons?
But to their surprise, there were four people standing in front of the door.
Baldo and three goons.
"Sa tingin 'nyo, hahayaan ko kayong makaalis dito?!" (You think I will let either of you get out of here?!)
She somehow managed to get to Baldo without making serious contact with any of the goons. She pointed the barrel of the handgun under his chin.Okay, we all know that a lot of the characters in the story make the mistake of thinking Yossi's a guy, but the author?!??!
"If you want him to live, let her come here!" He shouted at them.
Rika ran from the other side of the row of crates towards Hitomi. As soon as she was surely behind Hitomi, the two of them and their hostage slowly made their way out of the warehouse. All was well until a bullet pierced Hitomi's leg seemingly from nowhere.:mon scare:
Baldo laughed as his hostage taker fell.
"Durugin n'yo s'ya liban lang yung mukha 'nya. Kailangang ako ang sumira sa gwapo n'yang mukha."
(Crush him except his face. I'm the only one who can wreck that handsome face of his)
"Durugin n'yo s'ya liban lang yung mukha 'nya. Kailangang ako ang sumira sa gwapo n'yang mukha."OH MY GAH!!!! :on blackhole:
(Crush him except his face. I'm the only one who can wreck that handsome face of his)
i don't know if this will be the last update of the year... should someone die?If so, at least make it Baldo or Dan...ok, the goons too. :tama-mad:
Rika was torn. From reading Hitomi's lips she could tell that she was being ordered to run away. But she was afraid.Option A would seem to be the choice to go with. As low as the odds may be, it's still better to at least try to get some help. An urban centre like Metro Manila is NEVER completely asleep. Besides, unless Rika has some hidden/unknown fighting skills that she's kept secret, there's really nothing that she can do to save Yossi without putting herself in harm's way (which was the whole reason why Yossi wants her to run away to begin with).
She wasn't afraid of the steel pipes and the 2x2 wood that the goons brandished. She was afraid that if she decides to run out and call for help, no one might even come to their rescue at this hour of the night. It might be better for her to stay here and try to save Hitomi herself, for once.
If Rika ran out and the drunkards outside have come to their senses, they might be able to help them. Hitomi didn't know what was going on anymore. All she could know was what she could feel banging against her body and nothing more.Doubtful that the drunkards would be able to do anything, but like I said before, it's better to at least TRY.
Rika picked up the gun Dan dropped which laid in the pool of his blood. She had no idea how to use a gun but there's no time for lessons in handling firearms now. She closed her eyes as she took in a deep breath./me hopes that none of the goons have noticed Rika's got the gun and that she's (hopefully) pointing it at Baldo.
The goons have begun to pry Hitomi out of her fetal position. It appeared that she was battered enough to Baldo's liking.
Rika held the gun with both hands, trying to recall and emulate how her father would do it in the firing range. She whispered a preyer under her breath and tried to pull the trigger. But the trigger would not succumb.OSHIT it's jammed!
His laughter echoed within the warehouse but Hitomi didn't hear. She had fallen unconscious from the battering and loss of blood.And Yossi's out cold!
Rika, in frustration, banged the gun on the concrete floor before aiming and randomly firing at the direction of Hitomi's torture. The bullet flew into the chest of on one of the goons standing close to Baldo.DO IT RIKA! SHOOT THAT BASTARD!!!
The gunfire sent the goons into a panic, dropping Hitomi on the ground as they ran for cover. Baldo too ran to a hiding spot as Rika aimed at him.
Hitomi laid still but her chest was heaving. She was in poor shape but knowing that she was alive was good news enough for Rika.WTF SHE PUT THE GUN DOWN!?!?!?!
The gun found it's place on the floor nearby. There was no escape. But what mattered was that her love was in her arms. She felt that help was coming whether she calls fot it or not and if it didn't, at least, they will die together. Death will be the last resort but for now there's a love to protect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHARMY WILL PREVAIL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SHE'D BETTER!!!
the days of 7 updates at a time, i hope i can reach that level againBut can we handle all the Ishiyoshi that would lead to? :lol:
oh yeah... here's another fangirling work of mine: a Christmas Card!Words cannot express just how SWEET that card is! :w00t:

Rika's hand trembled hard as held the gun. The weight of the gun was enough to make it shake but what was worse is that, she had already pulled the trigger. The cartridge is empty!
A smirk grew on his face as his pace quickened.
Rika then realized that she had been found out. In her mind was sheer panic as Baldo was only five steps away.
*BANG!* The footstep, second to the last became his last as a bullet from outside buried itself in Baldo's lungs.:imdead:
"To-chan... I'm here... Stay with me... You promised..." She whispered repetitively while gently rocking the unconscious Hitomi.Oh PLEASE say the gun's still within her reach!
From the corner of her eye, she could see Baldo watching them, gaining confidence at their vulnerable position. They were open on all sides. No wall, no crate, nothing stood in their defense.
She quickly picked up the gun from where it lay and pointed it at his head.OSHIT!!!
...
Rika's hand trembled hard as held the gun. The weight of the gun was enough to make it shake but what was worse is that, she had already pulled the trigger. The cartridge is empty!
The clients were safe within their bulletproof SUV and just watched the drama commencing outside. Apparently, they were used to seeing people getting killed in this fashion.Not really surprised at this. The fact that they've got a bulletproof SUV should be proof enough that they're somewhat accustomed to situations like this.
Rika then realized that she had been found out. In her mind was sheer panic as Baldo was only five steps away.EHHHHH???
Four.
Three.
*BANG!* The footstep, second to the last became his last as a bullet from outside buried itself in Baldo's lungs.
In a matter of minutes, heavy footsteps of the police trampled the concrete floor of the warehouse.Well...whaddaya know. The cops actually show up where AND when they're needed. :o
Rika sat next to the stretcher in the ambulance and held Hitomi's hand.Nicely done Jo. Nicely done indeed. Sucks ass that he doesn't get the girl at the end, but we definitely see that he's willing to do what's right. :yep:
"Why did you come without the police? You should've known better..."
Joseph could only eavesdrop as he drove quickly to the nearest hospital, Chinese General Hospital in Blumentritt, Manila.
It was he and Rika who had laid Hitomi on the stretcher and loaded the van-turned-ambulance. It would've taken them about half an hour more if they waited for the paramedics.
...
Joseph took a sharp turn to the right, entering the gates of the hospital, heading straight to the emergency room.
Ayaka and Mai ran across the hall to find Rika standing by the emergency room, being questioned by a police officer. The com-van of a big radio station outside told them that this was going to be messy.Well, it's not every day that the head of one of the biggest companies in RP gets shot in the leg in some abandoned warehouse on the bad side of town.
*AYAKA'S COMMANDING PRESENCE*Fuck yeah. :rockon:
Mai stood beside Rika and placed a hand on her shoulder for comfort but as soon as the hand made contact with her skin, she crumbled and in tears.Yossi would probably call her "tanga" for even asking that. :oops:
"I'm sorry. This is my fault... Why did she have to come?"
Mai and Ayaka knew nothing of the details. They could only stand by Rika for company. Neither dared to ask what happened. The only thing they knew was that their Yoshiko was badly injured. Thanks to that text message from Joseph.Wow. Again Jo showing that he'll do the right thing for the sake of helping Rika.
He called Ayaka. SHE'S ON RIKA'S SPEED DIAL 2.Damn, I called it. :lol:

i have done something for this community.
*MEDIA FRENZY*Gawdammit.
*INCOMPETENT COP GETS CHEWED OUT BY HIS BOSS*Just goes to show the lack of professionalism that he has. It doesn't matter if he had previously known who it was or not, he shouldn't have been badgering her like that, PERIOD.
From the police reports, it appears that May had escaped, some goons, Dan and Baldo were all dead.Well, 2 out of 3 ain't too bad.
Ayaka asked the officer for the initial findings of the police. She didn’t have the heart to ask Rika what had happened. She was very surprised at reading the police report. Baldo’s clients were, in fact, stockholders in a Y-Group subsidized company. This would have to be brought up at the next stockholders meeting. She took out her O2 and made a memo of it.Looks like Y-Group is going to go through some MAJOR corporate restructuring. :yep:
The police officer previously badgering Rika for answers had stopped being so rude after being chastised by his superiors upon hearing that it was Yoshizawa Hitomi who was involved the incident. He could only hold his cellphone an inch away from his ear as his boss yelled at him. “Tanga ka ba? Hindi mo sila kilala?!” (Are you stupid? You don’t know them?!)Who could not know that?? :O

Y-Group stockholders? Dayum. How/What the heck?
Rika sat quietly in Mai’s van as they tailed the ambulance now transporting Hitomi from CGH to Medical City. Despite Rika’s insistence to be in the ambulance with Hitomi, she was not permitted by the medical staff to do so.Hope Yossie's okay.. :cry: Rika should be with her darn it. :(
Rika looked toward the rising sun. The light struggled to penetrate the clouds concealing its radiance. But it would not succeed for the next few hours.
Hitomi felt a small cold object on her palm and Rika's warm hand closing hers into a loose fist. She still couldn't move her lips and opening her eyes felt like such a heavy chore but seeing Rika would make everything better. So she exerted all effort, putting in all her energy in opening her eyes.Wuuuut?! Yossie did wake up? She's too weak oh noess~~~ :cry:
The first sight that she saw was Rika crying, walking away, out of the room.
Ayumi was surprised. This was no time to turn off phones. They all needed to be accessible now that they have to fix the media mess and make sure that Hitomi recovers. She hung up just as she was about to enter the hospital's parking lot.Eh.. EH.. EH?! Shiba-chan call Rika!! Wuts happening?! :banghead:
The nurses on their rounds found Hitomi awake. They were surprised that the guardian of the patient didn't notify them that she is now conscious. The immediately called for food to nourish Hitomi. Ringer's solution really isn't enough.That's why the word 'Irony' existed. :doh: :sweatdrop:
we be gettin' back into rhythm, kickin' up da beats and putting the notes back into harmony!TRU_HARMONY dat is! :lol: :rockon:

The first sight that she saw was Rika crying, walking away, out of the room.
Ayumi was just about to enter the hospital compound when she saw Rika outside negotiating with a taxi driver before stepping into the vehicle.C'mon Shiba-chan! Don't let this one go! BFFs TO THE RESCUE!!!
Why is she leaving the hospital this early? Ayaka and Mai are still in the office... ... unless she forgot to bring something important from home... but to leave without anyone to stand watch? or even telling us?
Ayumi took out her phone and held the voice command button. "Cha~my"Voice dailing = cute and :pimp:
The nurses on their rounds found Hitomi awake. They were surprised that the guardian of the patient didn't notify them that she is now conscious. The immediately called for food to nourish Hitomi.Part of me want to know where Jin went off to...partially because it could give an idea as to what he's plotting up, and partially because I just want to pound his face in. :angry:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHY!?!?!?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BAKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!
Ayumi tried calling Rika again as she went up to Hitomi's room but still, Rika's phone was out of the coverage area. Now she was really getting worried.Unfortunately, it's not likely that she will. Jin took precautions by talking to Rika outside of the hospital room. That way, if Yossi WAS conscious, she wouldn't have been able to hear whatever it was that he said to her.
Could something have happened?
She went on to Hitomi's room hoping that Hitomi was now awake and that she could offer some explanation for this.
Ayumi opened the door to find a hospital aide spoon feeding Hitomi some cream soup.Cream soup? Hospital food is often mediocre at best, but a cream soup...in a tropical climate? Yossi must be seriously hungry to be willing to eat that. :-X
Hitomi suddenly looked towards the drawer. Rika spent a few moments standing there before leaving. She might have left a note or whatever. Ayumi quickly caught on and checked out the drawer only to find two Samsung Soul phones, both turn off.CALL IN THE TROOPS (i.e. Ayaka and Mai; hell, even Joseph would probably be helpful now, considering he'd probably have the best idea of places where she might go). FIND HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!
With the energy from that damned soup, Hitomi forced herself up. "Find her."
:cry: I can just imagine the last part, like it's a movie or something. :rofl:Mission accomplished
I'm not really into IshiYossie, le voy mas a Yomiki xD pero esta historia es buena =3 muy bien complementada =Dgracias. me gusta solo ishiyoshi! yomiki es bien tambien pero estoy todo ishiyoshi! jajajaja welcome, i hope you enjoy reading on with us!
Poor hichan she's still thinkig about the hospital incident!!! damni feel the rage... but it's only been a day for them... i am slow in narrating.. haha
YOSSIE SHE DOESN'T WANT JOSEPH !!!!
DAMN JIN !!!! :tama-mad:
WERD!Quotewe be gettin' back into rhythm, kickin' up da beats and putting the notes back into harmony!TRU_HARMONY dat is! :lol: :rockon:
Voice dailing = cute and :pimp:indeed :yep:
BAKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!! :pleeease:/me joins in
Cream soup? Hospital food is often mediocre at best, but a cream soup...in a tropical climate? Yossi must be seriously hungry to be willing to eat that. :-Xyossui is still having difficulty moving muscles. She can't chew yet. She hasn't eaten for almost two days and dextrose is just enough to give her body energy not to let her die. And oh, this hospital has gourmet food. it's gourmet cream soup... :lol: forgot that detail...
FIND HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!! :gyaaah::twisted: :lol: (put <<these two together)
:twisted: :lol: (put <<these two together)Hmmmmm....
Hitomi looked out the window feeling inutile.For anyone without a dictionary or English teacher readily available, "inutile" basically means "useless". :P
*MAI-AYAKA NEWS*Okay Yossi, now put 2+2 together. :O
On the screen, Hitomi saw her father walking up the corridor to her room. He stepped in.Of fuck, it's the stuff that he got from The Eyes, isn't it? He didn't "convince" Rika to leave Yossi, he's using whatever's in that evelope and he's FORCING her to leave! :angry:
After a short while, he stopped out, followed by Rika.
He was talking and Rika was listening intently.
A folder in Jin's hand. There were what looked like papers. A small white envelope.
He showed her the contents of the folder. She shook her head, seemingly in disbelief. Then tears started falling down her cheeks.
He said something again after handing her the envelope but Rika just shook her head before walking away.And the fucker KNEW that Yossi would find out about this, and he's FLAUNTING it!
Jin looked up. Straight to the camera.
Grinned and waved.
"HE PLANNED THIS! THAT BASTARD!!!"
A folder in Jin's hand. There were what looked like papers. A small white envelope.huuh huuuhzz? what's this envelope???
He showed her the contents of the folder. She shook her head, seemingly in disbelief. Then tears started falling down her cheeks.
After almost 30 minutes, Rika entered the room crying. He was still outside as if waiting for Rika. A few minutes later, Rika exited the room. Jin started talking to her again, he handed her a small white envelope, which Rika took. He said something again after handing her the envelope but Rika just shook her head before walking away.
Nice rap. XD You're too pimp. :pimp:da's how we roll!
Poor Yossy, her heart must be breaking. :cry: NO!!! He didn't!! :angry: The envelope, was it a pay-off? What am I thinking, of course not. Rika wouldn't leave for money!why not? :twisted:
:twisted: + :lol: = :wahaha:i am too lazy to look at [more]
For anyone without a dictionary or English teacher readily available, "inutile" basically means "useless".:P yep :yep: da's what it means... thanks JFC
And the fucker KNEW that Yossi would find out about this, and he's FLAUNTING it!fucker indeed...
:mon mad: :shilivid: :scolding:
T! nice rap :D:shakeit:
JIN YOU BAKAYAROU~~!!! :angry:ganko ittetsu is alive!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Much. XD
Jin knew there were cameras, what an as***** father :angry::lol: there is reason for all shit-related things...
"Ayumi."Ah Shiba-chan~ I like your optimism.. if that was one..
"Hai. All her things are still here, i think... But there aren't any signs that she even went here..."
"This is bad..." Ayaka replied, sounding worried.
"Why? doesn't this mean that she's gonna come home anyway?"
"Ayumi, it looks like she is planning not to come back"
"What?!"
Rika looked outside the cab, she was again stuck in traffic. The Philippines really was a chaotic place. Chaos is the perfect place to hide from those who are above order.Damn, that would've really struck Yossie. :(
Unfortunately for Hitomi, she was above order.
Ayumi ran to the condo from the lift, taking out the key from her pocket.This would be reassuring if we knew for sure that Rika was thinking straight. Problem...they've just seen video footage of Jin getting Rika very, VERY upset. Considering that, as well as the fact that she left her ring AND her cell phone in Yossi's hospital room, Rika thinking straight is NOT something we should be betting on right now. :cry:
She quickly opened the door and rushed inside. Everything was in perfect order and Rika wasn't in sight. She headed straight to the guest room where Rika's clothes were and none of them seemed to be missing.
She thought this was a positive sign. Rika wouldn't just leave with nothing but the clothes on her back.
She took out her phone and dialled Ayaka's number.Oh fuck...Ayaka's not thinking what I think she's thinking, is she??? :shocked
"Ayumi."
"Hai. All her things are still here, i think... But there aren't any signs that she even went here..."
"This is bad..." Ayaka replied, sounding worried.
"Why? doesn't this mean that she's gonna come home anyway?"
"Ayumi, it looks like she is planning not to come back"
Rika looked outside the cab, she was again stuck in traffic. The Philippines really was a chaotic place. Chaos is the perfect place to hide from those who are above order.Sad thing, is that that's true. If one wants to become "lost" in RP, it's not that hard. Finding them again, on the other hand, that's damn near impossible (and no, Yossi finding Rika the first time doesn't count, because Yossi had been following the van Rika was in for most of the chase).
Unfortunately for Hitomi, she was above order.
Ayaka crossed her arms on her chest. "I still think we should call the police for help..."One way or the other, the press will continue to ask it's questions. The only control that Yossi-tachi has right now is on what (if any) statements they give to the press. For obvious reasons, they want to keep Rika's name from getting mentioned. Not only could it cause a big headache for the deal with Aya's company should anyone start using their journalistic connections to try and dig for some info on Rika, but like Mai said, if word gets out, it'll just alert Rika and give her more incentive to stay out of sight.
"I don't want anymore problems with the press regarding Rika. Ma answered, shaking her head. "Now that she is known to be an important person in the company, the press will be asking more questions."
"Well, if it leaks to the press and they will surely broadcast that, Rika will know we're looking for her--"
"Exactly, and if what you're thinking is true that she doesn't want to be found, she'll hide even more!"
Hitomi needed not to browse the phonebook as she had memorized this number. After three rings, someone picked up.Oh crap, she's obviously figured out that Jin must have used them to find something on Rika, and now she's going to confront her on it! :o
"Wei,"
"Young master. We heard the news from the TV. What happened."
"It's not important. Call Third. Send for her here."
"Mako. You have a new mission. Ishikawa Rika. Find her."Now then, can they do this search without anyone (i.e. Jin) finding out about it?
"What about the other mission?"
"Drop the case. I am done chasing the past."
"Yes, captain, the Eyes are on it."
"The doctor said they can release you now. You can rest better at home." Ayaka said handing Hitomi the folder of receipts. "Nothing to worry about no more, Yoshiko, everything's been paid for."It's not "home" if Rika's not there. :cry:
"I don't want to stay here, Ayaka... but... I don't want to go home..."
"I don't want to stay here, Ayaka... but... I don't want to go home..."
"Oi. It's me. Can you brief me on the new mission? Yeah... I was a bit surprised too... Anyway, the new mission? ... ... Uhuh? ... missing person, huh? ... ... ... Ishikawa? You mean... The mission is to look for Ishikawa Rika?! ... ... daughter of Ishikawa Yoichi? ... ... ... Oh nothing... nothing... I'll see you in two days"Whaat? Does she know something? :dunno:
Ishikawa?! What the hell is going on?!
Maybe her findings will have to wait...Eeh eeeehh? What Findings?? Girl from the past?
Rika looked out once more to find that she was close. When the cab reached the destination she specified, she opened the white envelope and took out some bills to pay her fare. She had travelled quite a distance so she wasn't surprised that the meter went up to 357.20 pesos.So then...this is some sort of hotel or halfway house that she's gone to? It's probably not exactly "nice" seeing as how Rika would have been broke when May would have brought her here after the fiasco with her father's death and financial trouble.
"Salamat po, sa inyo na yung sukli..." (Thank you, please keep the change) She said to the driver before turning away from him.
She looked around and found that not much has changed in the place where she had just set foot. She was back to where she had started in this country.
She took a deep breath before walking into the old dilapidated building. The people running this place might not recognize her anymore. But then, as long as she can pay the rent, she will be welcome here, more or less.
Hitomi leaned against Ayaka's shoulder as they drove to Mai's place.Oh, the YAM dynamic is awesome. :oops:
...
"Why didn't I just fall in love with either of you?" she asked in half-jest.
"Because we're not your type?" Mai said in response.
Ayaka shook her head. "Do you want my friendship with Mai to end? Because that's what's gonna happen if you pick her over me."
"Well I don't think Yoshiko will pick you over ME."
"It is not her I am thinking about, Ayaka..." Hitomi lied. "The company... how are things running?"Right now...there's no competition in Yossi's mind. Nothing's more important than finding Rika. :(
"Well everything's still okay... but the world crisis is gaining on us..."
"But everything has been set-up, right?"
"Yes... We don't have any debts, really... so we don't have a problem in finance... I'm afraid most of the problem will fall into Mai's hands since people will be reluctant in spending..."
Mai butted in, after stopping at a red light. "the whole market is like that right now... so there is nothing to fear about competition..."
"Yes... ... it seems there really is no competition..." Hitomi straightened up before looking outside, to the west, where she didn't know, Rika was.
Mars leaned back against the cold steel of the filing cabinet after hearing the new mission order. "What's up with this Ishikawa person anyway? I don't get why everybody wants us to look into he--"They can get the job done, but evidently they're not always that bright. :lol:
"Baka" Shark smacked Eri's head with the folder she was holding in her hand.
"Itai! What was that for?" Eri massaged the assaulted side of her head.
"It was the captain who ordered this, stupid"
"I know that. But isn't Rika staying with the captain?"
"Well, now that the captain is looking for her, that should tell you something already, ne?"
Eri turned her head to look at their computer monitor. "Hmmm... I noticed just now that Jin had stopped pestering us.. You think he figured it out on his own?"It would probably be a good idea to just fess up and tell Yossi about what Jin had wanted them to do. Better to hear it from them than for Yossi to find out from an outside source.
"Possible... and that would be very bad for us..."
"Don't tell me you haven't told the captain yet..."
*THIRD'S "NEW" MISSION*Looks like The Eyes are getting variations of same mission from different people. Of course, they don't know the circumstances/backstory behind any of what they're being asked to do. It makes it easier for them to complete their assigned tasks, but it also means that they don't know if what they find out is being put to use for towards a good or bad end.
"Yeah... Anyway... I might fly in next week... Miki wants another vacation..."
Ayaka's phone rang frantically on the kitchen counter as she, Hitomi and Mai were getting ready for bed. Annoyed at the repetitive Nokia tone, Mai got out of Ayaka's bedroom to pick up the phone.If it's that default Nokia tone....I HATE THAT FRIGGING TONE!!!
"Oi, Ayaka! What happened to Yocchan?" The caller with no greeting, no introduction whatsoever asked.Ayaka needs to get call display. :lol:
"Eh? Who's this?!"
"Isn't this Kimura Ayaka's phone?"
"It is, it is. but who is this?"
"Matsuura--"
"O, Ayaya. It's Mai."
She left. As in just left. The security cameras at the hospital caught it all... and guess what?"I love how the mere mention of Jin's name is all that's needed to explain why things have gotten messed up the way they have.
"What?"
"Uncle Jin..."
"Oh... ... did you guys call on the police to look for her?"
"I was really going to call Yocchan earlier but i forgot about it and thanks to the news I remember to call... It looks like my father is also interested in Rika's investment in the company."Aya's dad is now interested? Is that a good thing? I hope it's a good thing. :O
"Doesn't he hate Yossui's guts?"Ah, Aya's dad dislikes Yossi, but not as much as he dislikes Jin? That would make it a "lesser of two evils" or "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" sort of thing.
"Looks like it... It looks like he hates Uncle Jin too..."
"Yeah... Anyway... I might fly in next week... Miki wants another vacation..."GAM TO THE RESCUE?!?!? :w00t:
"Well, see you, then... don't forget to drop by at the office..."
"I won't... just say hi to Yocchan and Ayaka for me..."
Ayaka needs to get call display.for some reason my mobile provider, hence YAM's mobile service provider, has this weird quirk that when receiving an overseas call the call display has " (No Number) " written on it even if the number is stored in the phonebook... hope that makes it clear...
Rika sat on the lone chair in the small room which she rented. On her lap was the white envelope given to her by Jin.
She kept silent as she re-examined its contents. It was an airline ticket with her name on it.
"The flight's next week..." she said out loud to herself. After a few moments of silence, she hummed that tune.
Will the past really keep on following me around?As my teacher said, you can't just 'Runaway from the past'.. nor forget about it.. ah belonging.. :(
Rika sat on the lone chair in the small room which she rented. On her lap was the white envelope given to her by Jin.He's blackmailing her to leave, or worse yet, he's somehow brainwashed her into believing that she's doing the right thing to protect Yossi by leaving. :angry:
She kept silent as she re-examined its contents. There was an airline ticket with her name on it and a thick wad of cash.
"The flight's next week..." she said out loud to herself. After a few moments of silence, she hummed that tune.
Will the past really keep on following me around?
Mai and Ayaka kept themselves quiet as they watched Hitomi sleep. She laid between the two of them, both not wanting to yield to each other's wishes to keep Hitomi too herself.Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...YAM no kizuna. :oops:
Ayaka kept her voice low. "She's so cute sleeping, isn't she? She whispered to Mai as she brushed the hair that had draped itself over Hitomi's face.
"It's best that she stays asleep... At least she has some time to herself not thinking abou--":cry:
"Rika..." Hitomi said as she turned over to the left side, the side Mai was on.
Mai pulled up the blanket before lying down beside Hitomi. "Man, she must be really upset... She's completing our sentences in her sleep... You think we'll find her?"
"I sure hope so... I don't know what's gonna happen to our Yoshiko if we don't..."
"Next week..." She retreived the white envelope from under her pillow and took out the plane ticket. "Should I go home?"Even if Rika were to go back to Japan, where would she go? She has no relatives that we know of, and even if she stays in a hostel or one of those really inexpensive capsule hotels, the money that Jin gave her won't last forever.
Hitomi woke up feeling thirsty. She realized after trying to get up that Ayaka and Mai both have draped their limbs over her body.Awwwwwwwwwww...
She smiled at seeing them asleep. It has been a while since she had slept over with them like this. It was probable that they fought over who was going to sleep with her arms around Hitomi.
With all her might, Hitomi pushed off all arms and legs resting on her. They weren't going to stop her from getting something to drink.At least it was only a drink that she needed. Better that, than being stuck there if she wakes up needing to go to the bathroom.
She opened the door and grabbed a bottle of Pocari Sweat. It was cold and it tasted really good. After gulping down half the contents of the bottle, she put it back and treaded back to the bedroom.AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
Looks like there's no more room for me on this bed.
She smiled. Ayaka and Mai were now on the middle of the bed, hugging each other. Really, Hitomi wanted to laugh out loud but that would ruin the moment. She stepped out of the room and went out Ayaka's small veranda.
RIKA = She walked to the small window and looked out. There were already stars shining in the sky. Shining in the dark. The dark is the only place to shine.
YOSSI = She stepped out of the room and went out Ayaka's small veranda. She looked up the sky and there were stars. It was beautiful but lonely. Miles away. A million miles away from each other. That's what it is to be a star. To be alone in a cold dark space.
"Oi, Mai wake up" Ayaka shook her friend awake.Notice how it's apparently perfectly normal for them to wake up in each other's arms. :oops:
"huh? What? What's going on?" Mai groggilly answered.
"Yoshiko's left..."
"Meh~ She must've gone home..." Mai attempted to brush that matter off to get back to sleep. "We have work today, remember?
How is she going to get home from here?"Has Yossi used cabs much during her stay in RP? She would seem to be more of a "do it yourself" type to me.
"Well, she can walk or take a cab... She old enough... She'll be okay... " Mai answered before turning to her side and closing her eyes.
Ayaka sighed. " I wonder where Rika could have gone..."May's the unknown factor here. On one hand, she could be in hiding after being scared shitless at what happened in the warehouse. If this is the case then hopefully we won't have to worry about seeing her again. On the other hand though, May could possibly "snap", and blame Rika for all that's happened to her. If THAT happens, then she might go after Rika for some warped sense of vengeance.
"Ayaka... please... a little more time to sleep?"
"Aren't you worried about her? I mean, she might be in trouble... and that stepmother of hers is still out there..."
"Come on, she's our Yoshiko's girl... nothing bad's gonna happen to her... "Ditto. :cry:
" I hope you're right..."
"Of course I'm right... and still very sleepy..."Mai's not a morning person, is she? :P
Hitomi cursed under her breath as she limped on the sidewalk. "Why the hell did I leave Ayaka's place before the painkillers wore off?!"
The pain was excruciating and the task of walking made it worse. Every step made her cringe as her leg muscles felt like they were twisting. She held on to the concrete barriers lining the sidewalks as she took a step after the other. She wanted to slap herself for being careless. She left her medications on Ayaka's kitchen counter.
"Oi... what's with you?" Shark entered the common room, still a bit sleepy.Sounds like fun indeed. :roll:
"The captain wants me to get her car again..."
"Then, why don't you?"
"It's impounded by the police, damnit!"
"So you're gonna steal it from them, huh?"
"What else can I do about that?"
"Stealing from the police... sounds like fun..."
"Why don't YOU do it? I'm not gonna get myself deported from here just to be her valet!"
"Hey~ keep your cool... I'll do it..." Mako rubbed her hands eagerly. "I better get a move on!"Uhh... Yay? XD
Hitomi cursed under her breath as she limped on the sidewalk. "Why the hell did I leave Ayaka's place before the painkillers wore off?!"As someone who has gone through the experience of actually NEEDING painkillers...yeah, not a smart move on Yossi's part. Even dumber would be if she walked out of there without taking the rest of the painkillers with her (which I'm suspecting she did). :sweatdrop:
She reached into her pocket and retrieved her phone.I knew it...:doh:
...
"Ayaka... please bring my medications to the office..."
"Okay... Where are you?"NOW she realizes. Granted she's been a little distracted as of late...still though. :ph43r:
"On the way home..."
"Do you want us to drive over to pick you up?"
"Nah... I'll drive my... ... O SHIT, MY CAR!!!"
Right after hanging up, she dialed the Eyes up again.If only we all had a secret team of "agents" that we could call up to find shit that we'd lost. 8)
"Oi, get my car..."
It was Mars who picked up. "Uh, where is it, Captain?"
"I don't know. Find it."
Did you do some traffic violation? It's at the impounding place thing..."Ah, the joys of being at the beck and call of your boss. :lol:
"Get it there for me. I need it this morning. 8:30."
"But--"
*click*
Mars looked down at her watch. It was almost 7:00. "What the hell does she want me to do, steal the car from the police?!"
"Oi... what's with you?" Shark entered the common room, still a bit sleepy.
"The captain wants me to get her car again..."
"Then, why don't you?"
"It's impounded by the police, damnit!"
"So you're gonna steal it from them, huh?"THIS I wanna see. :twothumbs
"What else can I do about that?"
"Stealing from the police... sounds like fun..."
"Why don't YOU do it? I'm not gonna get myself deported from here just to be her valet!"
"Hey~ keep your cool... I'll do it..." Mako rubbed her hands eagerly. "I better get a move on!"
:fainted: I know it must be tough for yossi, but I am glad that she has Mai and Ayaka.
"Rika..." Hitomi said as she turned over to the left side, the side Mai was on.
Mai pulled up the blanket before lying down beside Hitomi. "Man, she must be really upset... She's completing our sentences in her sleep... You think we'll find her?"
"I sure hope so... I don't know what's gonna happen to our Yoshiko if we don't..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Where is home?-insane moment- EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE MILLIONS OF MILES APART THEY ARE STILL CONNECTED! NO MATTER HOW FAR APART YOU ARE, RIKA'S LOVE WILL GUIDE YOU TO HER, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK FOR A TINY GLIMMER!!! -moment over-
She turned to the side where her eyes met the green plywood wall.
To-san... why did you have to leave me in a situation like this? Why did you let me get to this place? Why did you let me meet her like this? Why did you leave me to be hurting like this alone?
She walked to the small window and looked out. There were already stars shining in the sky. Shining in the dark. The dark is the only place to shine.
==
It was beautiful but lonely. Miles away. A million miles away from each other. That's what it is to be a star. To be alone in a cold dark space.

Sleeping scene in Ayaka's house
Aya's phone call
"Oi... what's with you?" Shark entered the common room, still a bit sleepy.
"The captain wants me to get her car again..."
"Then, why don't you?"
"It's impounded by the police, damnit!"
"So you're gonna steal it from them, huh?"
"What else can I do about that?"
"Stealing from the police... sounds like fun..."
"Why don't YOU do it? I'm not gonna get myself deported from here just to be her valet!"
"Hey~ keep your cool... I'll do it..." Mako rubbed her hands eagerly. "I better get a move on!"
"Rikacchi?" Fujiko placed the cup on the coaster in front of her. "Hasn't she been missing for awhile? How'd she manage towork for Yoshizawa? I never thought I'd hear of something like that!"Holy!!! :shocked
Aya was quite surprised by the reaction of her mother. "Uh... Ma, you know of her?"
"What do you mean, do I know of her? I know her! That girl and her sisters used to come over here and play with you, remember?"
"What?! I certainly don't remember anything about that!"
"She and her papa used to come here often... As far as I can remember, her mama would often bake you some cookies to eat... you used to eat a lot then..." Fujiko smiled from the nostalgia. "She was a sweet girl then too... a good pianist if I recall... you would've been a good musician too if your father didn't pull you into business."I knew it! Pianist! ahahahahaha~ :w00t:
"Well, it is better for her and Hitomi to be away from each othe--" Fujiko stopped as if the words she just uttered were not meant to be said. She paused for a few moments, composing herself."... If you two move there, your father will be lurking around you a lot... Manila has become a Yoshizawa turf... and you know it won't be good for all the businesses if your father comes in contact with anything Yoshizawa.ahahaha, slip of the tongue..
Miki took her seat by the breakfast table beside Aya, across Aya's mother, Fujiko.Wait...did Miki spend the night, or is Aya's mom just visiting? :D
"Good morning, auntie" She greeted with a smile.
"Good morning, Miki dear. How have you and Ayaya been?
A huge grin spread across Miki's lips as an agitated look appeared on Aya's. "Not much, really... I heard there were just something going on in Manila... I don't really know much about it since your dear daughter doesn't tell me everything either."Ah, so Aya's mom knows Yossi as well? It's probably through the business as Aya's dad and Jin undoubtedly had dealings before.
"Oh, I have heard about that... How is Hitomi?" She casually asked as she sipped her tea.
"The latest that I've heard is that well she got seriously injured for some kidnapping incident and well, Ishikawa Rika, her personal assistant and a new inverstor in the company has gone missing..."Eh? Aya's mom knows Rika?
"Rikacchi?" Fujiko placed the cup on the coaster in front of her. "Hasn't she been missing for awhile? How'd she manage towork for Yoshizawa? I never thought I'd hear of something like that!"
Aya was quite surprised by the reaction of her mother. "Uh... Ma, you know of her?"
"What do you mean, do I know of her? I know her! That girl and her sisters used to come over here and play with you, remember?"Whoa...that's an interesting twist. Wonder if Rika remembers any of this? I don't recall Yossi ever mentioning the Matsuura name (or Aya's in particular) when Rika was around, so if she did remember there's no way she would have known that they were still doing business together.
"What?! I certainly don't remember anything about that!"
"She and her papa used to come here often... As far as I can remember, her mama would often bake you some cookies to eat... you used to eat a lot then..." Fujiko smiled from the nostalgia. "She was a sweet girl then too... a good pianist if I recall... you would've been a good musician too if your father didn't pull you into business."
"Ma, that was just for fun... a hobby..."Ummmm.....ummmmmm....
"But you know I would've preferred that you made a career of something you enjoyed rather than something your father taught you to enjoy..."
"No wonder you left him...'
"And I'm quite glad I did... That father of yours--"
"Uhm, auntie, let's not talk about unpleasant things" Miki butted in. "I just noticed that rose brooch on your collar... Is it new?"Maybe not, but she IS right about Aya's still being uber-cute. Miki-sama can definitely attest to that. :wub:
"Ah, didn't you know, my Ayaya gave it to me! Isn't it perfect? My baby never forgets her mama!" The older woman reached across the table and pinched Aya's cheek. "Still so cute"
"Ma~" Ayaya tried to pull away, quite embarassed but failed. "I'm not a baby anymore!"
"Anyway, we will be flying to Manila next week... Do you want to join us?"Depending on where you go...sand whiter than your teeth and water clearer than what's in your bottle of Evian. :twothumbs
"Oh, I would love to... but I have some things to attend to... I'll try some other time... I heard the beaches there are just fantastic"
"They are... sometimes I wonder why Aya doesn't want to move there..."Aya and Yossi? Why would there be a problem there? It was Miki that used to date Yossi, not Aya. :?
"Well, it is better for her and Hitomi to be away from each othe--" Fujiko stopped as if the words she just uttered were not meant to be said. She paused for a few moments, composing herself."
If you two move there, your father will be lurking around you a lot... Manila has become a Yoshizawa turf... and you know it won't be good for all the businesses if your father comes in contact with anything Yoshizawa.Wait a sec...so Aya or Miki's dad is in RP? Or is it that where AyaMiki go, dad would eventually wind up following?
Miki took her seat by the breakfast table beside Aya, across Aya's mother, Fujiko.
"Good morning, auntie" She greeted with a smile.
"Good morning, Miki dear. How have you and Ayaya been? You know my little girl never tells me everything going on..."
A huge grin spread across Miki's lips as an agitated look appeared on Aya's.
"Rikacchi?" Fujiko placed the cup on the coaster in front of her. "Hasn't she been missing for awhile? How'd she manage towork for Yoshizawa? I never thought I'd hear of something like that!"
Aya was quite surprised by the reaction of her mother. "Uh... Ma, you know of her?"
"What do you mean, do I know of her? I know her! That girl and her sisters used to come over here and play with you, remember?"
"What?! I certainly don't remember anything about that!"
"She and her papa used to come here often... As far as I can remember, her mama would often bake you some cookies to eat... you used to eat a lot then..." Fujiko smiled from the nostalgia. "She was a sweet girl then too... a good pianist if I recall... you would've been a good musician too if your father didn't pull you into business."
Miki awkwardly laughed it off as she drank her coffee. "Anyway, we will be flying to Manila next week... Do you want to join us?"
Hitomi dragged herself out of the lift behind the cane she bought from a peddler outside. Filipinos sell the strangest things on the streets.The interesting thing is though, how often the "strangest" thing being sold is actually useful. I mean, when else would Yossi need a cane? :P
"What did you tell her?! Why did she leave me!?""Truths"? As if anything Jin says can be believed to be true. :angry:
"Ten thousand pesos, a flight back to Japan, and all the resources she needs to start anew there..." Jin leaned against the wall. "And some truths she had to know... ... I'm quite surprised you were careless enough to let her know about Pubcom..."
"Sure... ... let me remind you... when did I place Pubcom under your care? About four years ago, ne? When I gave the company to you, everything had been ironed out, no loose ends, no hanging transanctions, no nothing... Imagine the chaos that would have followed had the merger pushed through..." Jin leaned down close to Hitomi's ear. "... the merger... did not push through... because of... ... ... you"That sunnovabitch. He set it up this way, so that he "wouldn't be responsible". That NO GOOD GAWDAMN SUNNOVABITCH!!!
"You cancelled the merger! I could've handled the "chaos"! YOU set that up!"
"I may have... I really cannot remember... but as far as the papers are concerned, YOU are responsible! ... and it took that girl forever to know that she had been sleeping with her father's murderer"
es, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it right! THE tru_harmony, YOUR IshiYoshi hopeful ain't only on the forums, ain't only on IRC, she's also now on the radio!!!

"I may have... I really cannot remember... but as far as the papers are concerned, YOU are responsible! ... and it took that girl forever to know that she had been sleeping with her father's murderer"
Hitomi could only watch as the man she called father walked away, humming a pleasant tune.At this point, one wouldn't blame her if she started to call him somthing else. :banghead:
*YOSSI COMING HOME*:pen_cry: :pen_cry: :pen_cry:
Quote*YOSSI COMING HOME*:pen_cry: :pen_cry: :pen_cry:
"She said she'll meet us at work..."
"Yes, that's what she said... but we're not the type to listen, right?""Chill ka lang, Rika... di ko alam na nananagalog ka na pala" (Just chill, Rika... I didn't know you spoke Tagalog now) The girl answered as she looked up with a huge grin on her face. "Musta ka, mustasa? Natatandaan mo pa ako?"Huuuuuh... what the hell?? Whoisshe??
"SHIT! It was the investment!"The investment???? :shocked:
The investment???? :shocked:My exact thought.
"Chill ka lang, Rika... di ko alam na nananagalog ka na pala" (Just chill, Rika... I didn't know you spoke Tagalog now) The girl answered as she looked up with a huge grin on her face. "Musta ka, mustasa? Natatandaan mo pa ako?" (How are you, mustard? *lame tagalog pun* Remember me?)HOLY SHIT! THEY FOUND HER!!! :shocked
*YAM PART*They went through the financial records of the company to find out exactly what happened, didn't they? :O
"Chill ka lang, Rika... di ko alam na nananagalog ka na pala" (Just chill, Rika... I didn't know you spoke Tagalog now) The girl answered as she looked up with a huge grin on her face. "Musta ka, mustasa? Natatandaan mo pa ako?" (How are you, mustard? *lame tagalog pun* Remember me?)
Back to the topic, as Tru said it was like any other short update, only this time it will be the only update of today... Girl, you used to update five or more times a day... how i miss the old days.
And is it too much to hope that Rika runs into Miki and Aya at the airport? (Rika is at the airport right?)
She reached under her pillow again for the envelope. This time, she did not even look at the contents. She just grasped a couple of bills and pulled them out without even counting. She did not need to be reminded of the choices she had to make in such a short period of time. She did not have to remind herself that she had already made a choice.But Rika-chan, sometimes it takes as humans a while to realize that the choices we've made aren't the right ones and as the strange species we are, we have the ability to change and fix the mistaken choice we've made... You don't have to stick to it Rika-chan~~~ :(
Shark surveyed the perimeter. The police look as incompetent as usual. There were, in fact, to few of them around. Those that she could see from where she stood where asleep or, at least, half asleep.Awww but come on, where's the fun when its that easy :P
She cracked her knuckles as a smile appeared on her face. "Man, that car is gonna be at the captain's by 8!"
"... Anyway... where's that lady friend of yours? Shouldn't she be helping you? Ishikawa Rika?" He asked with a chuckle, barely able to contain his laughter.OMG, you're such an arse! *Pops kicks Jin in his manhood (or lack thereof)
"Sure... ... let me remind you... when did I place Pubcom under your care? About four years ago, ne? When I gave the company to you, everything had been ironed out, no loose ends, no hanging transanctions, no nothing... Imagine the chaos that would have followed had the merger pushed through..." Jin leaned down close to Hitomi's ear. "... the merger... did not push through... because of... ... ... you"Oh no, does Rika actually believe him!? Surely she wouldn't trust his word and believe that about the love of her life... Here I was thinking she was following her heart and protecting Yocchan when she's probably left coz she thinks she's the reason her father died :mon runcry:
...
and it took that girl forever to know that she had been sleeping with her father's murderer"
"Rika-chan, I'm sorry I didn't phone home last night... I slept over at Ayaka's..."Omona, that's so sad... its like Rika's passed away and Yocchan refuses to believe it so she's acting like she's still there... I guess the pain she's feeling is just as bad as it would be if Rika really did die... Poor Yossy *holds Yossy while she cries* :mon whimper:
It was already 8:30.Oh Sharky, what happened to getting the car back by 8? Not as good as you thought you were, huh? :P
Mako knew she had to. If the Eyes fail this one, she will bear it as her own failure. She cannot bear to fail the captain. Not again.Wait, when did she fail her before? :O Was it something serious? Something to do with Rika before they knew Rika was with them?
She wondered if Hitomi knew as much as she does about Rika. Maybe not.Hmm, depends on what things about Rika you're talking about coz I'm sure she knows a lot more about certain :drool: things about Rika than you do *wink wink nudge nudge*
"That's not what I'm worried about... She left her medications at home. For all we know she can't even lift a limb much less walk and drive without writhing in agony... But I was worried about letting her go home alone..."I think Mai might be right here... Sure Ayaka is right to be concerned, we all are, but Yossy also needs sometime alone to come to terms with everything... It's ok to keep an eye on her but gotta let her breathe too Ayaka~
"I am worried about her too, you know, but there's nothing we can do about that..."
On the solid granite counter were two plates, each with a bagel topped with cream cheese and some blueberries, and two glasses of water. It was breakfast for two.One on hand, poor Yocchan (again), still acting as if Rika is still there, its so depressive :cry: On the other hand, at least she's eating :lol:
"If you're looking for someone to blame for her identity being found out by your old man, I am telling you, you cannot look at the Eyes for that. We don't know how he could have found out. But it's definitely not us."Crap, there is someone else working against them!? It just keeps getting worse for IshiYoshi... stop being an evil writer to ur characters :P
"Chill ka lang, Rika... di ko alam na nananagalog ka na pala" (Just chill, Rika... I didn't know you spoke Tagalog now) The girl answered as she looked up with a huge grin on her face. "Musta ka, mustasa? Natatandaan mo pa ako?" (How are you, mustard? *lame tagalog pun* Remember me?)Who the hell are you? :shocked Especially if you know Rika but didn't know she speaks Tagalog and you do... I'm so confused now!
"SHIT! It was the investment!":O YEs, but what did the investment do???
Mai sighed heavily as she took the folder topmost of the stack. It wasn’t the first time that she was swamped with work like this but the pile of folders is just an eyesore. There were folders two inches thick. Three even.This is way I wouldn't wanna work in business :P
“She hasn’t called for transport services or anything of the sort… and this is kind-of official… I mean, Ayaya is there… Yoshiko would prefer to be there personally…”Despite how much Yossy is hurting, I don't think Miki will be particularly understanding if she's stuck at the airport coz someone forgot arrangements :lol: But YAY, this means the bit you were hinting to at the airport with 3 certain characters is coming up :D
Just a few more hours… After that… a new beginning… a new beginningNO RIKA!!! You've been running from the past this whole time and now you're really gonna run from the one person whose made you feel like you worthy and mean something :( Stop and think dammit, what's the future without the one you love, its not a new beginning, its reverted to the old ways of loneliness dammit!!!
Finally, Ayaka barged into the office to find Hitomi slumped on her desk. Unconscious.Holy shit, was not expecting that! *starts chanting* She's just sleeping... she's just sleeping!
She pressed another button on the intercom. "Mai, get ready. We're going to the airport in an hour. Yoshiko's sick."You're taking Yossy to the airport with you? The airport where Rika-chan is? Oh! Dun dun dun~~~
Home?NO! Didn't u hear me yelling at you before Rika? Home is where the heart is... where is you heart? Don't worry, your heart is making its way to you unknowingly now (i think)!
Would it really be?
Things don't always have to be sweet for people to like them.Oh i really like that line :heart: Very wise there author~
*Recto is a major road here in the Philippines. A section of that road is home for many shops that pose as photocopying shops, silk-screen t-shirt printing places and the like but really specialize in making fake documents such as driver's licenses, passports, diplomas, land titles and other legal papers... they also make theses for a fee...Oh nice! We could totally use a street like that here :P
Who knows, she might see something interesting in these parts.Something interesting like a pretty Japanese girl whose running from everything she's fought hard to create over the last few months? You know what, I think might just see something interesting like that too ;)
Mai squinted her eyes as she drove out of the parking area. Driving solo to the airport sure is something new to her. But this set-up was better than any alternative.Oh so I was wrong twice, neither Yossy or Ayaka will be there... oops, lol. But Mai is probably the best representative, if anyone is gonna knock some sense into Rika out of the three its Mai... Yossy would is still too much of a mess and Ayaka would be too... Ayaka-ish... I like the choice of Mai!
"Can't I rest in my office, then?"Yossy is as stubborn as me XD That's not exactly gonna be rest if ur in the office missy, we all know you better than that :P
"Cut that crap. You have your name on the list of inventors. She remember you everytime she sees it...":drool: Oh how I've missed you Mikitty :wub:
Rika took her things and stood up without finishing her cup of tea. "You wouldn't understand... You don't know how it feels..." She leaned down and whispered to Miki before walking away, vanishing into the crowd.:roll: Rika, stop annoying me by being a drama queen who has suddenly forgot how Yossy really is and not nothing means more to her than you :angry: OMGEE, if Yossy finds out Miki was talking to Rika and just let her go then I think there will be some bloodshed happening :shocked
/me waves at JFCBack at'cha. :wave:
i missed you much, kuya
Miki walked leisurely in the airport behind a very anxious Aya. A few meters apart, Miki shouted to her partner "The luggage is gonna take a while, I'm sure. No point in rushing."The really funny thing is how this is totally opposite to real life, as Miki's talked before about how slow Aya is and how Aya herself has admitted that she's a "my pace" type of person. :P
But Aya did not pay heed. She just wanted to get out of the airport right away. She didn't really even know why. It's like that feeling that there's something happening and it's not good.
And Miki just let her go. She knew her way around the airport, it's not like there will be no one to help her if she does get lost. There's no point in rushing when everything else is slow.
Who knows, she might see something interesting in these parts./me waits for it. :O
Miki lost sight of Aya in the crowd, she had been walking really slowly. It wasn't jet-lag but she didn't feel like she was in tip-top condition.Did I call it or what? :w00t:
She dragged one lazy step at a time, looking at the people in the hustle and bustle of NAIA. They all look the same.
...
Save for that one person.
"Oi!" she called out.
The person obviously heard her, recognized her and was a bit startled. To Miki, she looked like she wanted to run away but could not. Miki briskly walked to her, not even knowing what to do next.
"Miki-san..." Was the awkward greeting brought by the realization that there was no escape.
"What the hell are you doing here?!"
"I need to be in my office doctor." She said in a low tone. The voice wouldn't say much, nor her pale face or her weak grip on the doctor's arm.The doc probably knows perfectly well that Yossi won't rest at all if he lets her out of that room. Problem is, she really DOES have a lot of work to do (especially considering the current scenario/happenings that are going on) and she really DOES have to be back at the office. :ph34r:
"Ma'am, we can't just let you work in that condition. You need to rest."
...
Hitomi was just too weak and the doctor was hell-bent on keeping her from working.
"Can't I rest in my office, then?"
"I think she can cope... It's not like I'm that importa--"Dammit Rika, TELL Miki and Aya about the blackmail from Yossi's fucktard of a dad!
"Cut that crap. You have your name on the list of inventors. She remember you everytime she sees it..."
"But she can forget who I was to her. There will be someone better..." Rika looked up to the ceiling. "She deserves someone else"
Rika took her things and stood up without finishing her cup of tea. "You wouldn't understand... You don't know how it feels..." She leaned down and whispered to Miki before walking away, vanishing into the crowd.
The really funny thing is how this is totally opposite to real life, as Miki's talked before about how slow Aya is and how Aya herself has admitted that she's a "my pace" type of person. :Pwhich means, something is out of the loop XD
Miki knew Hitomi. She would have a hold-departure order issued for Rika. Rika wouldn't even be on this part of the airport had that been the case.Hmm...don't recall Yossi trying to use any of her connections to do anything like this. Was it because she knew it would be pointless because of her father's involvment, or was it just because she was so upset? :?
Miki wanted to stand up and give that girl a chase. But what she said after she started walking away, stopped Miki. And she said it quite aloud.:cry: :cry: :cry:
"To be the cause of all her misery..."
Hearing that froze Miki inexplicably.
How could one person, a person Hitomi met less than a year ago, be a cause of all her misery?
Miki couldn't piece it together.
It was only the buzzing of her cellphone that broke the trail of thoughts that she wanted to follow.Dammit WRONG DIRECTION Miki!!! You're supposed to go get Rika!!!
Aya.
"Where are you?! I thought you were right behind me and then--"
"I just had coffee... I'm coming."
"We already got the luggage. Mai's already here. Yocchan's sick. Get--"
*click*
Miki looked back to the direction where Rika went then walked away in a brisk pace to the arrival-pickup area.
Hitomi's persistence has gotten her back to her office. Sure, she's on the couch, but it's close enough to her desk to see how Ayaka is doing.So she's not doing any actual work, but is just going to be a "consultant" for the time being so she can rest up?
Hitomi just sulked on the couch again, seeing that there wasn't a way for her to win this debate with Ayaka.If Yossi's anything like me, she'd better be careful that she doesn't agitate herself. I suck at sudoku. :lol:
But she needed to keep her mind busy. She has to do something. Anything.
Anything to keep her mind from other things...
She looked around the coffee table.
Today's paper.
...
A sudoku puzzle. How nice.
...
Puzzles. Hitomi had developed a dislike for them.
Then again, it's better than nothing.
*GAM & MAI AT AIRPORT*Shit, Miki's going to be kicking herself later when she realizes she shouldn't have kept her mouth shut about seeing Rika (assuming Yossi doesn't beat her up herself). :o
Aya couldn't stay upset too long. She had noticed that Miki was in deep thought.Better to take the initiative Aya. Don't wait for something that might not happen. :yep:
Did something happen at the airport?
But if something did, Miki would tell her about it right away.
Or would she?
*THE EYES*C'mon people! Keep at it! FIND RIKA!
*ELEVATOR SCENE*Seems pretty obvious that Miki wanted "out" of the meeting between Aya and Yossi (being one of Aya's top people, it would have been pretty normal to expect her to take part in it). Question now is...why?
*GAM HAND-HOLDING "DISCUSSION"*Miki = ;D
"What was THAT about, Miki?" Mai asked as she closed her office door.Oooooooooooooooooooh...THAT'S why. :yep:
"I wanted to talk to the two of you first before doing anything else."
"What about?"
"I saw Ishikawa at the airport today."
Aya grabs Miki's hand as the continued walking. "There. Happy?"
"I saw Ishikawa at the airport today."
*MIKI-MAI-AYAKA*Miki = :dunno:
“Well, she didn’t seem to have taken the proper precautions, almost like letting Rika leave. If I were her, I’d call all airlines and have Rika taken out of the passenger list, I would’ve gotten a hold-departure order issued--”Not necessary? Oooooooooooooooooooh...don't tell me Yossi actually DID have something in the works, and just kept it to herself so that no one (not even Mai and Ayaka) knew about it? :o
“That’s because…” The doors suddenly opened and Hitomi, assisted by Aya entered the room. “Those aren’t necessary…”
“She said Yocchan deserves someone else… Then she just walked away.”
“That’s because…” The doors suddenly opened and Hitomi, assisted by Aya entered the room. “Those aren’t necessary…”
Hitomi started crying like none of them has ever seen before. Then silence.Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere we go...:cry:
She wiped her tears on hem of her sleeve. She recomposed herself, more stone faced than before.
“You don’t know what it feels like, to be the cause of all her misery”
The sad part is...this shows that Rika and Yossi really ARE in sync, to the point where they're both willing to sacrifice their own happiness because they blame themselves for the troubles of the other. :banghead:Ditto that MAN... Ditto THAT!
*GOONS AT AIRPORT*Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...I'm hoping that they're working for Yossi or The Eyes...but I can't shake the feeling that they're working for that fucktard Jin, in which case, it looks like the fucker's gonna backstab Rika! :angry:
*YAM AT YOSSI'S PLACE*Mai and Ayaka are probably the only two that Yossi can't beat at negotiations. :P
*GAM AT HOTEL*Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...GAM at a hotel. :drool:
“MAI!!!! She’s still sick!”
“Ah.. yeah… sorry”
*YAM SCENE*Even when she's not at 100%, Yossi's still the master of management. :yep:
*RIKA SCENE*So like, what happened here? Rika's gone into something almost like a witness protection program by the sounds of it. This is part of the deal she struck with Jiro? She'd leave Yossi if he'd provide her with somewhere to live where she couldn't be found?
“Those lamps are solar powered…” The driver started, noticing Rika’s curious observation of the environment. “The batteries are pretty weak… not all of them last the whole night. Especially the ones under the trees” He pointed a few posts under a big tree that Rika couldn’t identify as it was dark. “Pretty cool, huh?” The driver said trying to further impress their guest, seeing the curiosity in her eyes.Once an Ecomoni always an Ecomoni X)
“Hello? … yeah… the house is nice… thank you… well, it sounds like the food is still cooking… I’m okay… yeah… oh, the driver? … uh…”... for some reason I feel this has something to do with the person she met at the bus :lol:
Jin reviewed the immigration office's records again, for the fourth time.... HA!... Jin, you had it coming XD
“WHY THE HELL IS SHE NOT HERE?!”
“Do you like Faust?”:shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
*RIKA SETTLING INTO THE HOUSE*Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...am I the only one who's concerned about this whole "driver apparently not being the driver" business?
Jin reviewed the immigration office's records again, for the fourth time.EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH?!?!? :shocked:
“WHY THE HELL IS SHE NOT HERE?!”
“Any measures you took to find her?”Whoa, Aya's never hired The Eyes? :O They must really be hardcore mercenaries, if so many different people/companies use their services.
Hitomi leaned back, sinking a bit into the couch. “Hired the Eyes… like everyone does…”
“I’ve never hired them.”
“Oh, speaking of Rika… mom came over to our place some days ago… and we somehow drifted onto this Rika-situation…. And she was like ‘Rikacchi?’, and Miki and I were like ‘woah!’,” Aya recreated the look of surprise on her face which made Hitomi laugh out loud. “Yocchan, you okay?”Can totally picture this happening in real life. Aya's got great facial expressions which are great to see. :)
“Seriously, Yocchan, you should learn to hide some money under the mattress like us normal people.”Oh please don't tell me Aya's dad knew the Marcos'. XD
“Money under the mattress doesn’t earn interest…”True.
“Yoshizawa-san, money under the mattress don’t need so much paperwork to be moved around”Also true.
“Your brother couldn’t bribe anyone to save his life!”Quick, someone get Ken some tissues. :P
“Well, having kept me and To-san away from him have their perks and disadvantages”
“He doesn’t know how to court a girl!”
“And he said if Rika wasn’t mine, he’d woo her… Yeah, right…”
The two laughed like the young adults they really were, unimpeded by the protocol of the corporate scheme.
Hitomi walked from the couch to the corridor between the rooms, and behind her followed Aya.Osnap! :-X
“At least I’m not the only one not getting any~”
“Hey!”
“Rika’s probably back there… Japan…” Hitomi walked up to the last door and pushed it open. “Suppose, I follow her back there?” She went on inside, turning the lights and the AC on.DO IT YOSSI! FIND RIKAAAAAAAAA! :rockon:
“How the hell do you plan to find her?!”
Hitomi walked on to the violin stand she set beside the baby grand. She carefully picked the instrument up. “I found her before…” Hitomi carefully plucked the strings, and listened to the barely audible, weak notes. “…I can do it again”
Hitomi carefully set her violin back on its stand beside the piano. She didn't bother to wipe the sweat from the chin-rest and under the viol's body.Mmmmmmmmmmm...Yossi sweat. :drool:
Aya watched from where she stood, surprisingly bothered by the silence that followed the performance. "Hm..." she started, trying to fill the air with sound. "You're going to make a deal with your father..."Sunnovabitch, so THAT's been his plan? To use Rika like a bartering chip, since he was one of the few who could tell Yossi where she was, and trading that knowledge for control of the company!?! :o
"That is what I'm thinking..." Hitomi said as she sat on the floor. "But mama would probably smack me on the head if she heard that" She laughed as she leaned against the leg of the baby grand closest to her.
"Well, she did entrust the company to you... and a deal with your father would surely entail giving him full control again..."
*PHONE CALL*Hmmmm...calling a former member of The Eyes? It was mentioned that the current crew is "the new" one, which could mean that this person being called is/was a former member. :?
wooo~~update!!
oh my god!! rika is still in the philippines!!
:cow:OH DAMN, how could i have forgotten to keep that part secret?!?! XD work makes tru forget the zaniest things
She did not take off :w00t:
Thanks a bunch for the update, though I'm still reading your fic. I'd say I'm about... hmmm.. well up to page 137 of the 344 that I copied.. 40% of the story so far...thank you very much... i hope you didn't get lost much... i'm the lost type XD
even though I was supposed to be studying for my exam (should be studying right NOW as well!), I just couldn't help but read.STUDY!!!!
- I have the feeling that Tru has done business studies or something. You seem to know about the workings between businesses and stuff.. which I'm a total noob at. I had to reread bits to understand what was going on.actually, no.. my studies are mostly on philosophy and history XD but business is really of great interest to me...
I really like how you developed the drama and suspense of it all, though! Great job :thumbsupthanks ^_^ I liked Meteor Garden I better than II... ~ Wo ming bai, wo yao de ai~ XD
Thank you so much for sharing this story... it's truly a heavensend for a new IshiYoshi fan like myself :love:
I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the story and then to continue to support your new updates.
Tru, you rock!!!!!! :heart: :heart: :heart:ISHIYOSHI ROX MY SOX!!!
:bow:
They my fav. couple, since i stared to like H!P about three years so yeah
BTW I dedicated my first post to you hehe
EH? And here I was thinking it was AiEri because of your av/sig set xD
*bumps thread*They haven't :thumbdown: and i vote for Concerving Water!, 'cause i love the planet so much and...yeah you know? It's time to be nice with the planet
Ne ne ne... I was just thinking... "conserving water" which a pretty big deal in terms of responses to your fic. I personally cannot remember IshiYoshi conserving water in this story yet... or is my memory that bad?? X_X
Anyways, Tru... you MUST ensure that they do within the coming 'chapters'... OK???
Majority rules. xD
First post in a series of posts that I'll be doing to help Tru realise one of her dreams... (dramatic much? lol) If you know what's good for you, start posting too.I totally support this! :twothumbs
Well, it just that i stared to like MM because of Eri. but when i find out about H!P Charmy was one of the first (Yuuko been the other ^^ and Yossie also a little lol) and the first "couple" i knew was IshiYossie and GAM (also a little of YossieMiki but not much of a fan and also YossieMiktyGochin triangle XD) so i absolutely love them and then in the current MM i stared to like a lot Ai and then i just love the two of them together, and that was he born of my AiEri obsessive love XD (i feel like spam XD)
They haven't :thumbdown: and i vote for Concerving Water!, 'cause i love the planet so much and...yeah you know? It's time to be nice with the planet(and us!!!)
I totally support this! :twothumbs
It's been a while, but it's ok, i don't want to put so much pressure on tru_harmony (unless you like it XD) so i guess i'll have to read this all over again :roll:
AiEri? I haven't really seen the potential of them yet. TakaGaki has a long running history too.Yeah i know, almost anyone sees the potential and everything is about TakaGaki and Tanakame but frankly I'm just get tired of those hehe so i prefer something new and can't denied they're really hot together XD
But I just don't think anything beats IshiYoshi. IshiYoshi is REAL. The majority of supporters (as well as the media) too see something tangible between them. :thumbsup
I thought so... because if they have conserved water, I would've remembered celebrating! :PYoshi would do anything for Rika :wub: and if she has to sacrifice she'll do it :twisted:
EXACTLY. Tru, you BETTER be nice to the planet. Rika and her planet-loving ways and all... surely she'd force Yossie to follow suit. :twothumbs
Tru needs to be bullied... thankfully we've had Yankii Heart has done a bit of Tru bullying for us. Otherwise we'd never get an update.God to see that so i guess I'll keep posting here and like i said i'll read this again ^^
KEEP POSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!
1444 ish the goal!!!!!!!!!
Yeah i know, almost anyone sees the potential and everything is about TakaGaki and Tanakame but frankly I'm just get tired of those hehe so i prefer something new and can't denied they're really hot together XDbesides i always though Ai could do so much better XD
Yoshi would do anything for Rika :wub: and if she has to sacrifice she'll do it :twisted:
God to see that so i guess I'll keep posting here and like i said i'll read this again ^^
We support you Tru, (i'm going to start calling you tru hehe)
HEY! Lol... Risa is a pretty good match for Ai (as far as I'm concerned)haha that was mean i should had put that it was a joke there xD, i don't really mean it, but i also though that Risa was a good match for Ai, until u know? i find this paring LOL
But I'll see if I like AiEri. I'll have a read of your fanfic. ^_^Well, thanks hehe, you don't have to if you feel obligated :lol:
Agreed. Yossie is the biggest Rika-fan. And it's ESPECIALLY evident in Tru's story. xD Gosh, I have never come across a couple so MEANT for each other (besides YaMasami <3).Absolutely. That's one of the things i adore about this story. The way they so live for each other :heart: and they willing to do anything for the other person even if leave her so she can be happy :cry:
You're going to read it again? xD Maybe I should too... some details are starting to fade.Actually i'm already stared to read this again XD I'm in page 11 :P
What's the most memorable scene from RFTP so far?:dunno: I dunno.... Is hard to pick just one.... I really like wen Yossie declared her love to Rika that was incredible sweet and then Rika's way of telling Yossie that she love her too aaaawww that was incredible sweet! :wub: (i'm a romantic person xD) And also whe they bought the rings :luvluv2: aaww so cute. And then also to find out about Yossie's past and her mom :cry: and Rika's painful past :gyaaah: and then Rika leaving the Hospital and Yossie :mon waterworks:
Well, thanks hehe, you don't have to if you feel obligated :lol:
Question: Who's YaMasami?
Actually i'm already stared to read this again XD I'm in page 11 :P

Me too. Going to Japan is my no.1 dream. Want to teach there when I finish my degree. Have you been Steph? (I'll just call you that for short now xD)haha You can call me wathever you want :P
And when Jin slapped her out of nowhere... damn man dared to lay a hand on Yossie's precious :angry:Oh yeah! I was so mad at him i wanted to beat him up :angry:
What's something about the story you're still curious about and want tru to answer in her following chapters?The eyes! XD who are they? well, who's the third? We already know there's Eri and Makoto but i really wanna know who's the other one. I though it would be Gochin but she works in the company as a singer so she's not.
