Title: [END] memoir III: memory (I SLAYED THE BEAST!)
Post by: almond on November 11, 2007, 02:02:03 PM
HERE WE GO!
If you did not read memoir (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=11667.0), you'll be confused. If you didn't read 100% Kataomoi (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=12120.0), you'll be completely lost. So, do read those before starting here. You can also read them at my blog if you don't want to read the comments or whatnot (memoir (http://almondfics.blogspot.com/2007/10/memoir_04.html), 100% (http://almondfics.blogspot.com/2007/10/100-kataomoi.html))

I abruptly ended 100%, possibly giving JFC emotional scarring considering he went all fetal position singing the Kira Kira Fuyu no Shiny Shiny Knife (c) song. So, I'm kind of thinking of just blabbering on for a while, but I guess I'll be nice (for once) and just post the first part.  XD


--------------------

PART 1
YOSHIZAWA - AUGUST 21ST

Apparently our team plays really well when Miki and I are pissed off. Either that or they all sensed I wasn't all there and they compensated by kicking ass. It was almost funny how well Miki and I could fake normalcy on the field. As soon as we got into the locker room, the smiles and chat were gone. I gave our coach a grateful look when he gave the post-game pep talk for me. But the entire team was eyeing me and Miki warily.

"Ready?" Miki asked me suddenly. She was holding her futsal bag and looking at me expectantly. I nodded and went to get my things.

We drove home together in complete silence.

Miki walked ahead of me into the apartment, leaving me to shut the door behind us. I took a deep breath.

"Miki, I - "

"First, let's get something clear," she interrupted. "I didn't just up and abandon the group. It was planned. I discussed it with the three most senior members before I did it. I thought you understood that, but apparently not."

"I know," I sighed and sat down on the couch. "I shouldn't have said that. I just - "

"And I know you're pissed off about yesterday," she cut me off again. "And I'm sorry about that. It was stupid. Like I said, I went to talk to Aya even though you said I shouldn't. Then I got annoyed when she said you were the better kisser and some retarded part of my brain told me to prove her wrong."

"I really should have known it was something like that," I replied sadly. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

"uh... Right," Miki replied, sounding a bit confused at my reaction. She sat down next to me. "So, are we ok?"

"I don't know," I answered. I didn't know if I could even say the words. I hated myself so much. How could I ever expect her to not hate me? But I had to tell her. I couldn't live with myself otherwise.

"You don't know?"

"Miki, I got drunk last night. Really, really drunk."

"Oh my God, did someone see you?" she exclaimed. "Can't Makoto pay them off or something?"

"No, it's not that," I sighed. "I've never been that drunk in my entire life."

"You get pretty handsy when you're drunk. Did you get arrested for groping some stranger?!" She grinned. God, she was so beautiful. I wanted to lie and kiss her and hold her and keep her smiling like that forever.

"You're not making this easy, you know that?" I gave a half-hearted smile.

"That's because I'm pretty sure I don't want to hear what you're trying to tell me," she replied quietly. Our eyes met.

"I slept with Maki." The words hung in the air between us. I wanted to take them back, to make them not true, to pretend the last 24 hours had never happened.

Miki said nothing. She simply nodded and stood up. She calmly walked over to the kitchen counter and grabbed the keys that were lying there.

"Miki?" She didn't reply. She walked over to the door and put her shoes on. "Miki!" She paused with her hand on the door knob, but didn't turn around.

"I - " She took a shaky breath to steady herself. "I can't talk to you right now." She seemed to be deliberately forcing each word out. "Because I don't want to hurt you." Her voice cracked on the last word. "Because I love you."

"Are we over?" I asked quietly even though I didn't want to hear the answer.

"I don't know." She opened the front door.

"Where are you going?" I asked desperately. I wanted to grab her and stop her from leaving, to beg her to not go anywhere. She turned and smiled at me. There were tears streaming down her face.

"I don't know."

It would be nice to think that it's the team compensating, as it shows that they're not always depending on one or two players to win. However, the whole "playing angry" thing makes sense too. Right now both Yossi and Miki are both very emotional, and they're channelling that energy towards their game.

Classic Miki-sama. She lays it all out on the table. No fuss, no muss. This is how it is, this is how she feels. No tiptoeing around it.

"I don't know," I answered. I didn't know if I could even say the words. I hated myself so much. How could I ever expect her to not hate me? But I had to tell her. I couldn't live with myself otherwise.

"You don't know?"
Yossi's not sure what to say...because she's not sure what she CAN say.  She's drawing a complete blank regarding what she did the previous night, and it's that uncertainty that's confusing/upsetting her so much. It isn't a question of IF she should tell Miki, it's a question of WHAT she should tell Miki.



Quote
"You don't know?"

"Miki, I got drunk last night. Really, really drunk."
Oh, here we go... :O

Miki realizes that Yossi probably wants to tell her something, but that she's scared stupid to do so. Miki knows that if this is something that's big enough to scare Yossi, it's big.

Sometimes life is like that.  :sweat:

:wahaha:
Yeah, the angst is around just as much as the fluff was in 100%
I really should have titled them
memoir : A New Fic
100% Kataomoi : The Fluff Strikes Back
memory: Revenge of the Angst

Oh well....

(If at the end this was all a joke from Maki I really gonna be  :mon uggh: with her)
If this is all a joke from Maki, Yossy's going to kill her.

It would be nice to think that it's the team compensating, as it shows that they're not always depending on one or two players to win. However, the whole "playing angry" thing makes sense too. Right now both Yossi and Miki are both very emotional, and they're channelling that energy towards their game.
Yeah, when I found out there was a Gatas game during this oh-so-crucial point in my timeline, I initially freaked out, but I decided to just go with it. Hell, they won the damn thing anyway! *waves Gatas flag around*

]Classic Miki-sama. She lays it all out on the table. No fuss, no muss. This is how it is, this is how she feels. No tiptoeing around it.
Yep. Miki only censors herself if it's really really important.

Miki realizes that Yossi probably wants to tell her something, but that she's scared stupid to do so. Miki knows that if this is something that's big enough to scare Yossi, it's big.
After seeing Yossy come in acting weird wearing clothes she'd never seen before, Miki probably has a pretty good idea what Yossy's about to say.

Please... PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE SAY THEY'RE NOT OVER!!!  :pleeease: :pleeease: :pleeease:

Yeah, if there was ever proof that Miki's in love, this would be it. She's biting her tongue to stop from hurting Yossy any more.

But please, don't make us cry ne -__- xD
Writing this stuff is actually rather emotionally draining for me as well. But, I think of these awesome reactions and it keeps me going.  :wahaha:

Miki in tears... :( NOT good! Yocchan you idiot!!  :angry: Aaaahhh..... can she create a time machine and went back to the time before she went into that cursed bar??

PART 2
MIKI - AUGUST 21ST

It was after I left that I realized I hadn't even grabbed my own keys. I hadn't grabbed anything of mine. My wallet, my purse, my toothbrush, my clothes, my heart, my sanity... everything was still there. Part of me wanted to go back, but I knew if I did, I might not be strong enough to leave again. And I knew I couldn't keep myself from screaming, demanding, crying, pleading...

I couldn't go back, so I started walking.

I wanted to pretend none of this had ever happened. I wanted to turn around and walk back in the door. To run into her arms and tell her that I loved her and nothing else mattered.

But I couldn't stop thinking about it.

Yocchan, was she better than me? Did she make you lose that cool front you try so hard to maintain? Did she tease you to the point that you became almost irritated? Did she know what would make you moan? What would make you cry out? What would make you beg for more? Did you think of me during it? ...have you been thinking of her?

Did you touch her the way you touch me?

But I could never ask her these questions. Because I could never bear to hear the answers.

I don't think I could bear much more of anything anymore.

I walked and walked, and when I thought I couldn't go any further, I kept walking. When I finally stopped, I looked up at the building before me. Without realizing it, I'd come here, but really, where else was I going to go.

Aya took one look at my sweat-drenched, tear-stained face and let me inside without a word.

I personally nicknamed this chapter Aruiteru -the dark ver.-  :lol:
Sorry it's so short, but it seemed to fit well.

The problem here is, it DOES matter. This bombshell that Yossi has dropped isn't something that can be ignored or brushed aside.

Aya and Yossi are the two most important people Miki has in her life. They're the only two people right now that she can truly be herself around without having to put on the facade that she wears in front of others.  For Miki, there really was not other option, no other place, and no other person to whom she could turn in this time of grief.

Dude, this chapter is so sad....not contents wise but length wise. I think I spent like a minute reading the one paragraph disguised as 10 short ones.  :smoke: You need to..........nah, I think I'll refrain myself this time. No need to put the entire thread on torture for that 'once every 10 days' threat.

That last sentence....yeah no need to be a mind reader, almond is going to make the readers cry once again cuz Miki is going to sleep with Aya and Yossy found out, the two got into a big fight where they eventually broke up and Maki to the rescue, where she's gonna say "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know you were gonna take my note seriously. But seriously, all I did was admiring your nude beautiful sculpted body the entire night", in which Miki will proudly say, "Yeah she does have beautifully sculpted body doesn't she?" Then she and Maki bonded, Yossy forgave Aya for sleeping with Miki so they're even plus she had a crush on Her and and everybody living happily ever after.

THE END

aaaaand with that I think I just made my own alternate ending.  XD

Yeah, the only other option was going back to Hokkaido, but I didn't want her out of town.

Actually, I've been having a bit of writer's block the past few days, so I might actually pause a day or two between 3 and 4...

...that Maki came back from Korea and told Yocchan that they didn't do anything... they didn't sleep together.... Maki unhooked Yocchan bra to change her clothes... that's all.... it was just a misunderstanding Yossy had...  haha....

PART 3
AYAKA - AUGUST 21ST

I stared at my cell phone. Should I or shouldn't I...

On one hand, Mai did sound pretty worried.

But on the other hand, even if they were fighting, they've probably made up by now and I really do not want to interrupt that... again.

But then again, Mai did ask me to call since she was about to get on the plane for Hokkaido...

I sighed, flipped my phone open,  pressed #4 on my speed-dial, and leaned back in my chair to wait. She answered on the first ring.

"Miki!?"

"...Yocchan?" I asked slowly. I'd never heard her like this before.

"Oh." She sighed heavily. "Ayaka, what's up?"

"You tell me." Yossy gave a short, obviously forced laugh.

"What do you mean?" she asked, trying to sound casual. And failing miserably.

"Um, hi. It's Ayaka. Your best friend? Who knows you very well?" She sighed again.

"Miki left."

"What do you mean Miki left? Where'd she go?"

"I don't know," she groaned. "She said she didn't know either."

"What? Yocchan, what on earth happened? Did Miki - "

"I did something really, really, really stupid," she cut me off. Her voice sounded strange.

"What happened?" There was a long pause. She sniffed once and cleared her throat.

"I really don't think I can talk about it right now." Alarmed, I sat bolt upright.

"...Yoshiko, are you crying?"

"Ayaka, I said I can't talk about it right now, ok?" Oh my God, she was crying.

"I'll be there in five minutes," I said, already on my feet and heading for the door.

"No, Ayaka, really, I don't need - "

"That wasn't a question," I replied. I snapped my phone shut before she could protest further and walked out my front door.


The door was unlocked and the apartment was dark and quiet. Cautiously, I walked through the front door. I paused to remove my shoes and lock the door behind me. One of Miki's dogs ran up to me excitedly, then sunk away in disappointment when it saw who I was.

"Yocchan?" I said quietly as my eyes adjusted to the darkness.

"Yeah?" she replied. I turned in the direction of her voice and found her sitting on the couch. She was slumped over a little, with her blonde hair hanging down over her face like a curtain. Her arms lay limply at her sides, her cell phone loosely sitting in her right hand. She looked like a broken doll.

"Your door was unlocked," I explained, slowly walking over to her and sitting down next to her. She didn't move.

"Oh. Miki must not have locked it," she replied flatly. I looked at her carefully, trying to figure out what to do, how to help, what in the world had happened. I gently reached out and touched her forearm.

"Yossy?" She finally lifted her head up and looked at me. Her beautiful eyes were bloodshot and puffy from crying. She looked exhausted and absolutely drained.

"I walked in on Miki and Aya kissing," she said in a detached matter-of-fact tone. My eyes widened.

"Why did - "

"It was just a misunderstanding," she continued emotionlessly. "Miki was just being Miki. But..." She sighed heavily. "I didn't think about that at the time." She turned her head away from me and stared blankly into the darkness. "I got drunk. I don't think I've ever gotten that drunk in my life. I don't even really remember anything after the first couple of drinks, honestly..." she trailed off. "I woke up this morning and..." she swallowed hard. She took a shaky breath. "And I... I..."

Abruptly, she stood up and strode over to the kitchen, flicking on the light and blinding me. She grabbed something out of her purse and thrust it into my hands as she sat back down next to me. She leaned her head back and stared at the ceiling briefly before closing her eyes. I slowly opened the crumpled note and read the words in Goto's familiar handwriting.

Oh, God.

"Is there maybe a chance you're misunderstanding this?" I asked hopefully. She gave a short, humorless laugh and opened her eyes again.

"Even if I ignore the fact that I was basically naked in her bed this morning, I do vaguely remember Maki taking my bra off." Her voice was calm and even, but I could see the tears slowly falling one by one and trickling down her cheeks.

"Do you think Miki will..." I trailed off as she lifted her head up and turned to gaze straight into my eyes. She was in so much blatant pain that it hurt to look at her.

"Ayaka, how can I ask her to forgive me when I know I'll never forgive myself?" She knew I couldn't answer her, but her eyes pleaded for a solution.

"I don't know," I said finally as I tore my eyes away from hers. It was just too painful to look at any longer.

The tables have now been turned. This is, I believe, the first time we've seen Yossi in such a worried/terrified state of mind.  So often she can be counted on to be a rock, but current circumstances are just too much for her to maintain any composure.

The love of her life might be at stake, after all. That'll rattle anyone.

Like I said, Yossi has always been "the rock", the steady, unflappable one.  To see her and hear her like this is something that one NEVER expects witness. :cry:

Ayaka is in the same boat that us readers are in, with the exception that she's witnessing it all first hand.  As one of, if not Yossi's best friends Ayaka wants to be able to help Yossi out here, however this is something that cannot involve outsiders.  Both of them know that there's nothing that Ayaka can say or do to actually affect how things will turn out for Yossi and Miki.  Like us...Ayaka is stuck, wanting desperately to end the pain that her friend is going through, but unable to do so.  The only people who can actually do anything to fix YoMiki...is YoMiki.

PART 4
MIKI - AUGUST 21ST

Aya was pissed.

As soon as she saw how upset I was, realized how far I'd walked, she was pissed off. I could tell even though she was trying her best to hide it from me.

But, it was strange. As Aya gently led me over to her couch, it was like all of my emotion left. And I was suddenly very calm.

I was still aware of being angry. I was aware of being hurt more than I'd ever been in my life, but... I didn't feel it. It was like I wasn't really there, like I was watching myself.

I watched myself take the iced tea Aya offered and take a long drink. I guess I was dehydrated from walking so far in the late August sun. I watched myself set the glass down on the table and begin telling Aya in a matter-of-fact tone how the woman I've been infatuated with since I was 15 had just cheated on me with her ex. The same ex who completely destroyed her when they broke up. The same ex who slapped me across the face when everyone thought I'd cheated on Yossy.

Aya stared at me. She was horrified. She was shocked. She was looking at me strangely.

"So what did you say to her?" she asked slowly.

"Who?" I watched myself reply. She gaped at me. "Oh. Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"Yeah. I just left." For some reason, this made Aya even more alarmed.

"...Miki, are you ok?"

"Oh, yeah, I'm fantastic. My girlfriend got smashed and fucked Goto because I'm stupid and accidentally made her think I was banging you. Couldn't be better," I watched myself say nonchalantly before picking up the glass and taking another sip of tea. Ah, that was better. I watched myself grin sheepishly at Aya. "Would you mind if I used your shower? I'm all kinds of gross over here."

For some reason, Aya still looked freaked out. She gestured at her bathroom door and I watched myself walk in and shut the door behind me. I watched myself turn on Aya's small shower, strip, open the glass door, and step inside. As the hot water poured over my body, I slowly came back to myself. I blinked and looked around, as though I didn't know what I was doing there. I sank to the floor and hugged my knees to my chest. I'm not sure when it was that I started crying again.

Some time later - I'm not sure how long, but the water had started to run cold - the door opened. I felt the water turn off and a soft towel placed around me. Aya's warm arms encircled my tired frame and she leaned her head against mine.

Silently, we stayed like that for some time.

Aya's sort of like Ayaka here, except with the little twist in that she was involved in the incident that initially started this whole series of events.  As such, she undoubtedly realizes that given the circumstances, there's only one reason, one thing that would bring Miki to her door in the state she's currently in.

The anger isn't something that's going to go away, at least not for a while. However, as she has made this entire trip over to Aya's place on foot, Miki has not yet allowed herself to cry/be in shock/internally freak out/whatever you call it.

And it SHOULD alarm her.  Miki's not known for keeping quiet when something pisses her off. Her frankness is a part of her, it's a large part of what makes Miki...Miki.  For her to say that she didn't blow up at Yossi, it's worrisome because then no one knows how Miki's is able to, or even IF she's able to deal with what's troubling her so.   :cry:

She's finally letting herself feel the pain and the shock that she's been keeping bottled up.  :k-sad:

This can actually be a good thing, as now Miki will hopefully be able to not only face what's happened, but try and deal with it as well.

It's true what they say, actions often DO speak louder than words. Miki didn't come to Aya because she needed someone to talk to. She came to Aya because she needed someone.   

If circumstances were different, it probably would have been Yossi that Miki would turn to for comfort.

Very true. That's probably what's making it so hard - the person she'd turn to for comfort is the person who hurt her.

PART 5
AYA - AUGUST 21ST

I was pissed.

I tried to hide it, but I know Miki could tell. She'd known me too long and too well not to. Why was Tan so upset? Why did she walk all the way over here? What the hell, Yossy, did you break up with her just because she kissed me?!

I silently led Miki over to my couch and prepared myself for a blunt, sarcastic tirade against all things Yoshizawa. She looked like she'd just run a marathon, so I handed her my glass of tea which she gratefully gulped. I looked at her expectantly, but she just set the glass back down and looked around my living room.

"Oh, did you buy a new DVD player?" she finally said. My jaw dropped.

"Uh, yeah, my old one started making weird noises... Tan, what's going on?"

"Hmm? Oh, right. Yocchan never came home last night," she said offhandedly like she was talking about the weather. "She showed up this morning and, well, long story short, she got really drunk and slept with Maki. So, she told me and I left."

I gaped at her in disbelief. Oh, God, what have I done? I knew teasing Miki like that would make her react and I did it anyway. I never wanted them to... I never imagined Yossy would... And now poor Miki's... Oh, God...

"You're kidding," I said in a low voice, almost lost in my own guilt.

"No, not at all," she replied, looking at her nails. "Wow, I really need to get my nails done again." Alarmed, I jerked out of my self-loathing and looked closely at Miki. She didn't look angry, sad, upset, anything. She didn't even look bored. She... didn't look like she was really here.

"So what did you say to her?" I asked cautiously.

"Who?" Miki replied. What!? "Oh. Nothing."

"Nothing?" I repeated.

"Yeah. I just left." I started to feel a little scared.

"...Miki, are you ok?" My voice was shaking a little as I asked the question. I'd never seen Miki like this before. She was so calm, so detached from everything.

"Oh, yeah, I'm fantastic. My girlfriend got smashed and fucked Goto because I'm stupid and accidentally made her think I was banging you. Couldn't be better." She picked up the glass off of the coffee table and finished off the tea before turning to me and grinning. "Would you mind if I used your shower? I'm all kinds of gross over here."

Shocked and confused, I just gestured helplessly at my bathroom door. I watched her stand up, whistling tunelessly to herself, and walk into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. As soon as I heard the shower turn on, I reached into my pocket and pulled out my cell, angrily smashing the keys as I dialed.

"We're sorry. The customer you are trying to reach is out of area. Please try your call again later. Thank you." Dammit, that's right. Goto went to freaking Korea.

I shoved the phone back in my pocket and sat there thoughtfully. I was pretty sure Maki had feelings for Yoshizawa... But, then again, who didn't...

I really didn't think she'd try to break them up, though, especially not like this... But... how drunk was Yossy anyway? I never thought she'd cheat on Miki like this... even if she did think Miki was...

Ugh, this is all my fault if you get right down to it. Why did I tell Miki that Yossy was the better kisser? I did it just to tease her... I knew she was going to react like that...

I shook my head to clear my thoughts and glanced down at my watch. That's weird. Miki usually takes pretty quick showers, but she's been in there for over an hour.

My heart dropped. Miki wouldn't have... I mean, she's acting weird, but she wouldn't try to... Oh, God, what if she's done something crazy.

Panicked, I sprung to my feet and raced over to the bathroom door. I knocked once and opened the door.

"Miki...?" I said softly, looking around the steamy bathroom. She was sitting on the floor of the shower, her back to the door, holding her knees to her chest, and rocking slowly back and forth. I almost collapsed with relief when I spotted her. She looked a mess, but she was alive. Cursing my overactive imagination, I walked slowly over to her, grabbing a towel on the way. I opened the glass door and turned the shower off. She was staring straight ahead, tears falling unheeded down her face.

Gently, I placed the towel around her shaking shoulders. I knelt down on the floor behind her and wrapped my arms around her, holding her tightly as she cried, wishing I could take away all of the pain I'd caused. I leaned my forehead against her damp hair and blinked away my own tears.

Silently, we stayed like that for some time.

If that was true, Aya would definitely have a right to be pissed, as it would show a severe lack of commitment to the relationship.   However Aya doesn't yet know the whole story, which is even more devastating than what she currently is assuming happened.

Well, it's ABOUT DAMN TIME that someone tried to call Maki to find out what really happened.  But of course, stupid cell phones never work when you really need them to.  :banghead:

Well, I'd say yes and no. While it's true that Aya set things in motion by saying that Yossi was the better kisser, there's NO way that she could have known that Yossi would go out and get completely smashed. Neither she nor Miki had any clue that Yossi was there, and I'd like to believe that if Aya HAD known, she would have kept her mouth shut about it.

Like I said before, considering Miki's earlier behaviour, it's acutally a relief to see her like this. She's "letting it out" now, allowing herself to feel her pain instead of just keeping it all bottled up inside.

Awww, I'll take one of the tissues too! I haven't been commenting coz all I have had to say is "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww"

But now, poor Aya for blaming herself. I think Aya thought that if Yossy had known what actually happened, she would laugh at Miki for doing what she did and that's why she was ok doing it at the time, and why she is so shocked now... But poor thing for feeling like she was the reason her best friend's relationship broke up which smashes her best friend's heart to peices at the same time, over something innocent that she did  :cry:

Now, dammit Yossy, stop hating yourself and start trying to get Miki back... You can't wait for her, you have to prove to her that you do love her and you are sorry that you maybe, kinda, slept with the sexy goddess Maki  :angry:

Like I said before, considering Miki's earlier behaviour, it's acutally a relief to see her like this. She's "letting it out" now, allowing herself to feel her pain instead of just keeping it all bottled up inside.
Yeah, Miki's going to be on quite an emotional roller coaster for a bit.

Now, dammit Yossy, stop hating yourself and start trying to get Miki back... You can't wait for her, you have to prove to her that you do love her and you are sorry that you maybe, kinda, slept with the sexy goddess Maki  :angry:
Yo: Miki, I love you and I'm sorry I maybe, kind, slept with the sexy goddess Maki.
Mi:  :grr:

Poor Aya!!! :cry: :cry:
I will take the tissue... :pleeease: :pleeease: :pleeease: :pleeease: I will take another :mon hanky: :mon hanky: :mon hanky:
Ok, I'm too sad to say something :fainted:
Y'all are making me feel like I'm emotionally scarring you.  :sweat:

I sang along to the gif :love:
:rofl:


So, yes, new part! The narrator iiiiis!

PART 6
YOSSY - AUGUST 21ST

Aibon's childish voice woke me from my dreamless sleep. It took me a second to realize that I had not gone back in time like I'd hoped, but was just hearing my "I WISH" ringtone.

I quickly answered before Maki's part.

"Hello?"

"YOSHIZAWA HITOMI!" The hell?

"...Makoto?"

"DAMN STRAIGHT IT'S MAKOTO!" she bellowed angrily. I held the phone away from my ear and winced while she yelled.

"Please stop yelling in my ear," I said once she'd stopped.

"What, are you still hung over?" Makoto asked. What?!

"Why would you think I'm hung over?" I asked carefully. She laughed.

"Because I just had to shell out a whole lot of money to keep your happy ass out of the papers. And everyone knows that when you're drunk, your wandering hands put everyone to shame." I laughed a little in spite of myself.

"Come on, I'm not that bad." I sat straight up in bed as my brain caught up with what I'd just heard. "Wait, WHAT?!"

"Yeah, next time you decide to stumble drunkenly out of a bar with your hand up Goto's shirt, do us all a favor and look around for reporters, ok? That scoop was so big that I literally had to pay to shut it up.  You owe me around a million yen, by the way."

"Oh God, you're kidding. Tell me you're joking," I groaned, flopping back onto my pillow.

"No, I'm not joking. I'm a poor college student now. Pay up."

"Yocchan?" I glanced up and saw Ayaka peeking her head into my room. "Everything ok?"

"Yeah, it's just Makoto," I replied. Makoto laughed in my ear.

"Maybe I should make you pay double so I don't show the pictures to Fujimoto," she commented. I felt like I'd been punched in the stomach. Oh, God, Miki..

Ayaka must have noticed the change in my demeanor, because she walked over to the bed and stuck her hand out for the phone.

"It's fine," I said quietly.

"I can talk to her if you want. I don't mind - "

"I'm not a child! I can handle a simple phone conversation!" I snapped.

"Yocchan, I'm just trying to help," Ayaka sighed.

"Yoshizawa?" Makoto said quietly in my ear. "Is everything ok?" The concern in her voice, the pity in Ayaka's eyes, the memory of Miki's face before she left... I could feel my emotions start to overwhelm me again. Wordlessly, I thrust the phone at Ayaka. I was shaking as I tried to keep from falling apart in front of her again.

"Tell her," I managed to choke out. Ayaka understood and quickly left the room. As she shut the door, I grabbed Miki's pillow and covered my face with it to muffle my sobs.

The pillow still smelled like her.

*passes out the remaining tissues*

Next part's a bit perkier, I swear.

PART 7
YOSSY - AUGUST 22ND

I woke up feeling refreshed, calm, sane, and - most importantly - not hung over.

I felt like myself again.

I'm not going to lie - I was still a wreck over what had happened. I still couldn't believe that I would sleep with Maki - even if I did think Miki was off with Aya. Every time I'd start to think maybe I was overreacting, I'd remember a little bit more of that night. Like her hands around my waist, holding my naked body against her...

But, I wasn't about to let myself go into a tailspin because of Goto Maki again.

I walked into the living room and smiled a little in spite of myself. I walked over to the couch and sat down on the floor next to it. I leaned my head against the cushions and stared at my sleeping friend, our faces only centimeters apart. Ayaka opened her eyes almost immediately. I felt guilty at the worried expression that appeared as soon as she saw me.

"Hey," I said sheepishly. She smiled, the relief apparent on her face.

"Morning," Ayaka replied. Her eyes searched mine. "How are you?"

"Better."

"Better?" She repeated. I nodded and moved back so she could get up without hitting me.

"Dealing with it." I sighed. "It helps that I don't have a raging headache and feel like I'm going to puke every five seconds." Ayaka laughed a little and sat up. "I'm sorry about yesterday."

"Why?"

"No one should have to see me like that."

"Yocchan." She reached over and grabbed my chin, leaning forward until our noses were almost touching. "You're my best friend and I love you."

"I know, but - "

"But nothing." Her smile was so warm, I couldn't help but return it.

"Thanks," I finally said.

"Anytime," she replied as she released me.

The atmosphere's been really heavy lately.  I liked the part with Mako, a little break from the crazy stuff happening but then it became all tense again when Mako didn't know what else happened.  Yossy is calm now but she still needs to be kept in for observation just in case.

Well, this is relatively speaking, of course. She's still feeling like utter crap over what she did, but at least physically she's doing a bit better in that her head isn't spinning from a hangover.

"Dealing with it." I sighed. "It helps that I don't have a raging headache and feel like I'm going to puke every five seconds."
See?  Maybe now that she's over the physical part of the pain, she can start dealing with it emotionally (as in, perhaps finding a way to forgive herself) and figuring out what to do with/about Miki.

Oh well....less angst doesn't mean any changes on the sad level of your readers. I like confrontation, go write more confrontation! I wanna see result too.

I will still hang on to hope that Yossy did nothing with Maki, or more so that sober Maki did nothing with Yossy coz she has no excuse  :angry: So i will stand by the whole "memories can be deceiving" theory and its still all just a big misunderstanding  :D

Awww, Ayaka is so sweet... Now it can be battle of the best friends... Hmmm, Ayayayayaya still wins for me  :heart:

PART 8
MIKI - AUGUST 22ND

I woke up exhausted. I felt like I hadn't slept at all. It probably didn't help that every time I closed my eyes, I saw them together... kissing... touching...

And as comforting as the familiar warmth of Aya's embrace was, it wasn't the same. I missed the feel of Yossy's arms around me, the way she would reach out and pull me close as she woke up, the glint in her eyes when she woke up wanting more than a good morning kiss... I just missed her.

I rolled over and tried to sleep again. Aya had woken up a few hours ago and had already showered and checked in on me twice, reminding me that I had a meeting with management this afternoon.

God, I just wanted to go home and fall into her strong arms, but I couldn't forget what had happened. I wanted to slap her and scream at her until I was hoarse, but I couldn't forget the pain in her eyes as she told me what she'd done. I wanted to beg her to lie and tell me it wasn't true, but I couldn't forget the horrible truth.

My circular train of thought was interrupted by a light knock at the door. I raised my head up in time to see Aya softly shut the door behind her.

"Aya, is everything -"

"Yossy's here," she interrupted quietly, sitting down next to me on the edge of the bed. I sat straight up, my heart pounding. "She wants to see you."

"I..." I sighed and looked down at my lap. "Aya, I want to see her, but I... I can't. I just... I know if I see her, I'll say things to hurt her. I don't know if I'd be able to stop yelling at her."

"But, Tan, she - "

"I know! I know she deserves it for what she did, but... I can't do that." I sheepishly looked up at my best friend. "I love her." Aya wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tightly.

"I know you do," she whispered. So did she.

"Aya.." I said helplessly as she pulled away.

"I thought we weren't mentioning that again?" She grinned and playfully wagged her finger at me. She stood and walked towards the door. "And if my Tan doesn't want to see someone, well, then, my Tan doesn't have to see them!" she declared before flinging the door open. It was then that I saw her.

In the split second it took for Aya to move through the open door, I saw her. Sitting on the couch, looking at the floor, her blonde hair pulled back in a sloppy ponytail. God, she was so beautiful.

She looked up.

Our eyes met.

And the door shut.

I wanted forget everything, but I just couldn't.

This is, without a doubt, one of the most painful relationship crises that a couple can face.  It's hard enough that each side is in deep pain, but what makes it harder is that they also know that the other is going through the same thing.  It makes trying to come to a resolution/fix the problem doubly-difficult, as most of the possible solutions that either of them think of will still result in at least one of them having to go through that pain again.   :fainted:

"I know! I know she deserves it for what she did, but... I can't do that." I sheepishly looked up at my best friend. "I love her."
The fact that Miki is putting Yossi's feelings ahead of her own pain shows just how much she DOES love her. But you know, this is one of those cases where Miki has to force herself to NOT care and just VENT at Yossi for what she did.  In a way, Yossi needs to hear Miki vent just as much as Miki needs to do it.  They each know of their own pain, they each know that the other is in pain, however neither of them has really, truly FELT it.  Emotionally, both of them REALLY need for this to happen.

I don't know if I could forgive Yossy in this situation or not. I mean, on one hand she cheated. On the other hand, she was drunk and thought I was off banging my best friend. So... hence the angst.

I voted for "least votes". XD
Of course you did XD

OMGAAAAAH I COMMENTED ON YOUR COMMENTS!!!  :rofl:
I COMMENTED ON YOUR COMMENTS TO MY COMMENTS  :on lol:

This is, without a doubt, one of the most painful relationship crises that a couple can face.  It's hard enough that each side is in deep pain, but what makes it harder is that they also know that the other is going through the same thing.  It makes trying to come to a resolution/fix the problem doubly-difficult, as most of the possible solutions that either of them think of will still result in at least one of them having to go through that pain again.   :fainted:
Exactly. And that's why there's so much freaking angst.
SEE? NOT MY FAULT! :sweat:

TISSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUES!!!
:mon waterworks: :mon waterworks: :mon waterworks:
/me hands JFC box of tissues she bought at the store

You go from less angst to more angst... shoulda put it on the title as a warning. 
I took the other subtitle out for a reason  :hee:

Tissues please.
/me looks over at JFC holding the box of tissues
/me sighs and goes to the store to buy more
 

*pulling at hair cuz author loves to drag conclusion therefore torturing her readers even more*
Very true. At least the Never-Ending Day of Doom (aka August 21st) is finally over!

I can’t say how much I love this :farofflook:
:luvluv2:

But sometimes I have a feeling that this fic won't have a happy ending... :mon hanky:
I cannot comment.  :glasses:


Yeah, so, new part in a few. Narrator is....

PART 9
YOSSY - AUGUST 22ND

I stood outside of the door for what felt like an eternity before I mustered up the courage to knock. I knew there were only two places Miki would have gone. And considering I had her wallet with me, I knew she couldn't have gone home to Hokkaido, so that left only one place.

I looked up just as Aya opened her front door. She bit her lip and silently let me in. I glanced around her apartment.

"Is... " I trailed off.

"Tan's still sleeping," she said quietly.

"I need to talk to her," I replied, starting towards the shut bedroom door. Aya stepped into my path.

"I'll wake her up," she stated, gesturing for me to sit on the couch. I started to protest, but thought better of it and simply nodded. What right did I have to force my presence upon her?

I sat down on the couch and stared at my feet. I still wasn't sure what I was going to say exactly.

Miki, I love you. I'm sorry. Please don't leave me.

No, that wouldn't work.

Hey, Miki? Remember when I thought you'd cheated on me with Random Comedian Dude? Yeah, now you kind of know how I felt, so we're even, right?

Yeah, she'd probably punch me for that one. Hell, I kind of want to punch myself for that.

Miki, I'm sorry. I should have trusted you, but I didn't. And because of that, I did the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life. And I know I don't have any right to ask you, but I really do think we can get through this. I at least want to try because I love you so much it makes me crazy.

Ok. Ok, that sounded decent.

God, this was hard.

The door opened. Ok, Yoshizawa, here we go. I took a deep breath and looked up. Aya was coming out of the bedroom. I glanced past her.

Miki was sitting up in the bed wearing one of Aya's concert t-shirts. Her hair was messy and her bangs were sticking up a little. She looked like she hadn't slept at all. God, she was so beautiful.

She was looking straight at me. Sad, accusing, determined.

Our eyes met.

And the door shut.

I looked at Aya. She gave a sad half-smile.

"If my Tan doesn't want to see someone, my Tan doesn't have to see them," she said sheepishly. I smiled a little in spite of everything and stood up.

"You must hate me," I said. Aya sighed heavily and looked up at the ceiling.

"Yossy, if I hated you, none of us would be in this mess." I was confused for a split second before I remembered what Miki had told me. I'd been so caught up in everything else, I'd completely forgotten about that. Shit.

"Aya... I'm sorry, I - "

"Oh, geez, not you too!" Aya exclaimed, cutting me off. "This is why I never said anything."

"But - "

"But nothing. We're not talking about that anymore,"  she laughed, waving the topic away. "We never should have talked about it to begin with," she said under her breath. I looked at her carefully.

"Don't blame yourself for my mess."

"I can't help it," she sighed. "I was saying things just to push Tan's buttons and I knew she was going to react like that. I really should have - "

"I really should have trusted Miki," I cut her off. "Or at least had the guts to confront her about it instead of running off like a coward and getting completely smashed." I shook my head in disgust. Aya didn't say anything. I sighed and shook my head before handing her the bag I'd been holding.

"What's this?" she asked, glancing inside.

"Miki's purse and wallet and some clothes," I explained. I smiled sadly. "I was pretty sure she wouldn't come home with me, but I had to try anyway." I bit my lip. "Oh, and her keys are in there, too. She even forgot those..." Aya nodded silently. I glanced at the closed bedroom door. "Well, I need to get going. I have an Ongaku Gatas promotion today."

"Are you going to be ok?" Aya asked incredulously. I laughed.

"I'm surprisingly good at being on auto-pilot," I replied, heading for the door. I paused in the doorway. "Thanks for taking care of her."

"Of course," she replied, looking surprised. I smiled again and headed out the door. I stopped again and turned around.

"I LOVE YOU, MIKI!" I yelled into the apartment. I smiled at the surprised Aya and calmly shut the door behind me.

YAY, i'm back to old times of reading the chapter twice :D I couldn't bring myself to do it before coz they were too heartbreaking but I really like this one so  :otomerika:
But i did find this one really really sad, maybe even the saddest, coz it feels so real  :cry: (or maybe its just the circumstances)

Hey, Miki? Remember when I thought you'd cheated on me with Random Comedian Dude? Yeah, now you kind of know how I felt, so we're even, right?
Yeah, she'd probably punch me for that one. Hell, I kind of want to punch myself for that.
I would punch you for that one too Yossy  :scolding:  :angry:

Are the dogs in the bag too? Miki must be feeling like she needs them right now too, her babies will comfort her :(

Other randoms that i didn't get to comment on before:
Yo: I'm sorry
Mi: I hate you.
Yo: I know.
Mi: You're hot.
Yo: I love you.
*they make out*
I could so picture them saying that after Miki has a yelling rant at her and they patch things up :heart:
But i kinda wouldn't want Miki to give in that easy either  :(

Finding her is the easy part...as for the rest of it...not so easy. :(

"I need to talk to her," I replied, starting towards the shut bedroom door. Aya stepped into my path.
At this point in time, if I were in Yossi's shoes, I'd be scared that maybe Aya wouldn't let me see Miki (the whole "pissed off at you because you hurt her best friend" type of thing).

Like I said, FINDING Miki was the easy part.



Quote
"I'll wake her up," she stated, gesturing for me to sit on the couch. I started to protest, but thought better of it and simply nodded.
And at THIS point, if I were in Yossi's shoes, I'd be a mix of relieved, nervous, and terrified.  What does one say here? What CAN one say here? Would Miki even see her? Would she just end things right here and now?  This HAS to be dealt with, but it's like you're stuck in the dark in a room full of explosives. You can strike a match to get some light, but in doing so you're risking blowing it all up.  :cry:



Quote
I still wasn't sure what I was going to say exactly.

...

Yeah, she'd probably punch me for that one. Hell, I kind of want to punch myself for that.
Yeah...unfortunately, there's a BIIIIIIIIIIIG difference with THINKING that cheating happened, and ADMITTING that cheating happened. 



Quote
God, this was hard.
Of course it's hard. That's how it goes when you're so in love with someone that it makes you crazy. With the big highs come the big lows, it's just part of the deal that you have to accept and deal with.  If it was easy it wouldn't really be worth it, and it doesn't say much about the depth/strength of the relationship either.

Aya can't help but feel like she's responsible for this, even though we know that in the grand scheme of things, she can't really be blamed for it. Still, being in the position that she's in, and knowing what she knows, feeling what she feels...this is almost as hard for her to deal/live with as it is for Yossi and Miki.  :k-sad:

Aya's right. Considering what's going on RIGHT NOW, her "issues" don't really matter and they shouldn't be worrying/thinking about them. 



Quote
"I really should have trusted Miki," I cut her off. "Or at least had the guts to confront her about it instead of running off like a coward and getting completely smashed."
This might sound harsh, but "yep" and "yep".  She definitely should have done THAT instead of trying to drown her pain in a bottle.  :(

Most of it is yet to be written. I'm currently working on part 12. At my current estimate, we'll at least get to 24 parts. So, we're about halfway there if I don't get any other ideas XD

Exactly. As soon as Yossy had her head on straight, she had no question of where Miki'd gone.

PART 10
MIKI - AUGUST 22ND

I sighed heavily as I walked down the hallway. They had canceled everything but the Hawaii tour - and that was only safe because it would be too expensive to cancel. No new GAM single. No TV work. My radio show would end as soon as the contract expired. They'd sternly told me I was lucky I wasn't kicked out of Gatas as well. With things how they are right now, I almost wished I was. Ugh, why did I ever get out of bed this morning.

I walked into the cafeteria. Most of the girls were still there from a late photoshoot for some 10th anniversary promotion that I wasn't to be a part of anymore. I remembered Yossy talking about it...

Abe caught my eye and quickly looked away, turning to Iida and hastily starting a conversation. Even Takahashi was avoiding my gaze. Nakazawa barely glanced up from her paper as I walked by her and over to the vending machine to buy a drink. On top of everything else, I woke up with a killer sore throat and my body was begging for a drink at this point. I wrenched the cap off the bottle and gulped down the cool liquid.

I could feel the eyes on me. I wanted to scream at them, force them to come out with it. I've already heard the whispers behind my back, so just say it to my face!

But I couldn't. I just didn't care anymore.

And then she walked in with Rika. Our eyes locked. Yossy froze.

 "Yocchan! Are you ok?" Abe asked, running over to her. Most of the girls followed suit, crowding around her with concern. She just kept staring at me until I had to look away. It hurt too much to look at her. Every time I saw her, I'd think about it. About them together. It made me sick.

"Fujimoto, maybe you should go," Yasuda called back to me. Surprised, Yossy finally looked away from me and turned to Kei.

"What? She doesn't have to - "

"You don't have to pretend," Risa interrupted, patting Yossy's arm.

"They all think I cheated on you," I called out in a clear, even voice. Yossy looked horrified. I calmly walked over to the group and looked each one in the eye. "Isn't that ironic?" I continued, unable to stop myself. "I'm not the one who got drunk and slept with my ex, but I'm the one getting blamed for it."

I regretted the words as soon as they left my lips. Yossy looked as though I'd slapped her across the face. She closed her eyes and bit her lip. The others looked at Yossy, waiting for her to deny it.

"Yoshizawa?" Koharu said softly, the confusion apparent in her voice. Still, Yossy said nothing. She looked down at the floor, her fists clenched helplessly at her sides.

"I'm sorry," I said quietly. "This is why I can't be around you right now." I started to move past them.

"Miki..." She reached out and grabbed my arm. I flinched at the familiar warmth on my skin. God, she sounded so tired, so drained, so desperate. I wanted to hold her, to tell her everything would be fine, to tell her I love her, to go home and lie in her arms forever. But I couldn't forget what had happened. I couldn't just pretend it never happened. I wouldn't do that to myself.

"Don't," I finally choked out. "It's still too raw." I wrenched myself away from her and fled the room.

Seeing i just read the 1st part of this Trilogy again the other day, someone should just tell Koha that Maki had a bad dream that Yossy's pajamas were attacking her and had to sleep in bed with Yossy and then all that confusion in her voice will disappear.  ;)

I seriously think Maki is (sort of) innocent. My theory is she stopped drunken horny fool Yossy before things got 'too far.' She doesn't seem like the kind of person who would take advantage of anyone, much less her ex-lover/best friend.

As for Miki, ouch...

Well, I want Aya to go talk to Maki, find out that Maki was in fact helping Yossie get to her house because she was too drunk(although Yossie did hit on Maki, but Maki acted like a gentle(wo)man and nothing really happened), then Miki and Yossie make up AND I want Aya to hook up with Maki, dammit!

Quote
I walked into the cafeteria. Most of the girls were still there from a late photoshoot for some 10th anniversary promotion that I wasn't to be a part of anymore.
Oh shit...this is NOT going to be pretty, especially since some of them STILL probably think that she cheated on Yossi with Shouji and don't know the truth, that she intentionally got herself FRIDAY'd.



Quote
Abe caught my eye and quickly looked away, turning to Iida and hastily starting a conversation. Even Takahashi was avoiding my gaze. Nakazawa barely glanced up from her paper as I walked by her and over to the vending machine to buy a drink.
Looks like word of what has happened has spread.  It's going to be interesting to see how the others react/act around both Miki and Yossi (not to mention Maki when she gets back from Korea). But...is it weird that the only one I'm REALLY curious about is Yuko? :?



Quote
I could feel the eyes on me. I wanted to scream at them, force them to come out with it. I've already heard the whispers behind my back, so just say it to my face!
But again...WHAT would they say? If they're still under the assumption that Miki cheated on Yossi before, would they still try to comfort her, or would they say that this is payback and that Miki deserved it?
:dunno:



Quote
And then she walked in with Rika. Our eyes locked. Yossy froze.

 "Yocchan! Are you ok?" Abe asked, running over to her. Most of the girls followed suit, crowding around her with concern.
Well, guess that answers that.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh CRAP.  Yossi never knew about THAT, did she? :stunned:

Now I'll be the first to say that Miki DID need to get this anger out of her system. If she and Yossi were to have any chance to fix things, she needed to let this out and Yossi needed to know and hear it. But...this is DEFINITELY not the ideal time to be doing it.

"Miki..." She reached out and grabbed my arm. I flinched at the familiar warmth on my skin. God, she sounded so tired, so drained, so desperate. I wanted to hold her, to tell her everything would be fine, to tell her I love her, to go home and lie in her arms forever. But I couldn't forget what had happened. I couldn't just pretend it never happened. I wouldn't do that to myself.

"Don't," I finally choked out. "It's still too raw." I wrenched myself away from her and fled the room.

I seriously think Maki is (sort of) innocent. My theory is she stopped drunken horny fool Yossy before things got 'too far.' She doesn't seem like the kind of person who would take advantage of anyone, much less her ex-lover/best friend.
*sigh*
You DO realize that by mentioning this possibility, almond is probably going to NOT do it just to make us suffer and so that she can throw THIS at us --> :wahaha:

You know what... just have Miki get drunk and sleep with Maki (or with  :otomerika:) as revenge. Yossy'll be all: "I understand you" they'll forgive eachother and move on. Then no one can play the martyr any more.

The way everyone ran to Yossy cuz she "froze" for some reason pissed me off... ignore Miki but baby Yossy. Playing favourites. TSK TSK.

Just so you all know, I've been working on Maki's POV of the entire night just so I know what I'm doing.   :wahaha:

Awww, everyone sucks for thinking the worst of Miki straight away but now what will they all think of their beloved Yossy?  :shocked:
There's actually a reason everyone assumes Miki cheated. It's kind of crappy, but there is one.

Seeing i just read the 1st part of this Trilogy again the other day, someone should just tell Koha that Maki had a bad dream that Yossy's pajamas were attacking her and had to sleep in bed with Yossy and then all that confusion in her voice will disappear.  ;)
:on lol:

I seriously think Maki is (sort of) innocent. My theory is she stopped drunken horny fool Yossy before things got 'too far.' She doesn't seem like the kind of person who would take advantage of anyone, much less her ex-lover/best friend.
Ah, you know what I have to do with theories, though, right?
 :wahaha:
Btw, love the term "drunken horny fool Yossy". It should be brought up in daily conversation.

^ Hey, I hadn't thought of that. What does Koharu think Yossie cheated in, Monopoly? xD
:rofl:

Well, I want Aya to go talk to Maki, find out that Maki was in fact helping Yossie get to her house because she was too drunk(although Yossie did hit on Maki, but Maki acted like a gentle(wo)man and nothing really happened), then Miki and Yossie make up AND I want Aya to hook up with Maki, dammit!
I WILL tell you all this much!!
.... Maki was in fact helping Yossy get to her apartment because Yossy drunk off her hot little ass.
XD

Gasp!  :scared: What??! I almost forgot about that long-ago-need-to-be-forgotten occurrence. You just have to go and wedge it in don't you?
No, they think she cheated AGAIN. I'm pretty sure everyone would know by now that the Friday stuff was fake.

You know what... just have Miki get drunk and sleep with Maki (or with  :otomerika:) as revenge. Yossy'll be all: "I understand you" they'll forgive eachother and move on. Then no one can play the martyr any more.
Yossy: Miki, I've decided. You need to go bang Maki so we're even.
Miki: ...WHAT?
Yossy: I'm serious.
Miki: ....
Yossy: ...and I get to watch.
Miki:  :kickass:

The way everyone ran to Yossy cuz she "froze" for some reason pissed me off... ignore Miki but baby Yossy. Playing favourites. TSK TSK.   
It's more like they thought Yossy had been wronged. If they knew what had happened, they probably would have done the same to Miki.


OK! New part comin' up once I get the laundry sorted and started XD

PART 11
YOSSY - AUGUST 22ND

I stood perfectly still, lost in thought. Miki had just humiliated me in front of basically everyone I'd been working with for the past 7 years. But, that wasn't what was bothering me. What bothered me was that she didn't do more.

She should have ranted at me. She should have mocked me for being hurt by my own actions. But, she didn't. She apologized and ran off. And that upset me more than anything she could have said or done. It was like I'd broken her.

Slowly, I became aware that everyone was staring at me. I blinked and looked around.

"Yocchan?"

"Yossy, what did Miki mean?"

"She was joking, right? She's just messing with us, right?"

"Yoshizawa?"

"Leave her alone." My body immediately tensed up and I stood up very, very straight. Oh, shit.

"But, Yuuchan!" Yaguchi protested.

"I said Leave. Her. Alone," Nakazawa repeated slowly, glaring at the other girls. The others slowly slunk away from me as Nakazawa grabbed me by the arm and dragged me out of the room. Shit, shit, shit.

Miki, I love you and I'm sorry, but I think Nakazawa's going to kill me now.

"Damn, Yoshizawa! After all this time, I still make you this nervous?" Nakazawa laughed when we were alone.

"Sorry," I apologized, trying to fight back a blush. She just shook her head, looking supremely amused.

"So, talk."

"I'm a jackass," I stated bluntly. She shook her head.

"I've known many a jackass in my time, and you're not one of them. What happened?"

"Exactly what Miki said. I got really drunk and slept with my ex."

"And by 'ex', you mean Gocchin?" I nodded. "Why?"

"I thought Miki had left me for Aya," I said sheepishly. Nakazawa threw her head back and started laughing.

"Why would Matsuura hook up with Fujimoto when she's been half in love with you for the past year?" My jaw dropped.

"How did you...?" I trailed off and shook my head. "Nevermind. You know everything."

"Damn straight."

"What am I supposed to do?" She sighed.

"I don't know. But, in my experience, if I can't figure out what to do, I need to find someone who knows me better than I know myself and ask them." I nodded thoughtfully. I knew just who to ask.

"Well, then, can you tell me why everyone thought Miki cheated on me?" I said finally. "I thought everyone knew that Friday article was fake."

"Oh, we knew that, but she left these crazy messages for everyone the other night asking us to send you home if we saw you. She wouldn't tell anyone why, so everyone just figured she'd really done it this time." I shook my head.

Wait. If Miki was leaving messages for everyone, then why didn't Maki...

"Hey, Nakazawa, do you know when Maki's flight gets in? She comes back tomorrow, right?" She looked at me in surprise.

"Yeah, but she'll be at her mother's for a while at least. Doctor's orders."

"What do you mean 'doctor's orders'?"

"Oh, didn't you hear? Gocchin's really sick. She almost collapsed when she got offstage in Korea. She's been put on bed rest." My jaw dropped. Nakazawa smirked at my reaction. "What exactly did you two DO that night?" I just shook my head.

"I don't know."

Well, that does explain and I guess Miki was just ringing around coz she kinda cheated on her, so I forgive everyone for blaming Miki, coz I just know how much they all care if i forgive them or not  :-\... Oh god I'm talking about the characters like this has actually happened  :dizzy:

Like I've been saying all along, both Miki and Yossi emotionally NEED a "blow-up" style of conflict between them.  They need to be able to vent all of the crap that they're feeling and that are driving them nuts.  At least then they could assure themselves that they were both then trying to deal with it and that they were still being honest with each other. But this...particularly that last part...this is probably what Yossi fears the most.  Hurting Miki is bad enough, but the possibility that the emotional scars are THIS severe is just devastating.

Oh crap. The thing about Yuko is that she can be two types of scary. She can be yelling-at-the-top-of-her-lungs scary or eerily-calm/quiet-scary.  Right now she's the latter. Problem with that is...Yuko's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more scary when she's calm compared to when she's loud.

Now assuming that Maki DID in fact get the message, one would think that she would have replied to Miki and told her that she had found Yossi, but that she was too drunk to get home.  So...IF she got Miki's message, read it, and STILL did not reply to it...then Maki's a dawg. :o

The boss of H!P to the rescue. :wub:  She really is the best senpai ever.  Poor Miki, members thinking badly of her without even knowing the truth.  At least as co-workers and friends, they have to give her the benefit of the doubt. Or just go straight to her to get the truth, take a cute defenceless animal as a dirty way of bargaining if you must since Miki refused to elaborate her message. But to just give up on Miki like that, that's cold.

PART 12
YOSHIZAWA - AUGUST 23RD

I sighed as walked towards the kitchen. That freaking kid. No matter how many times I tell him, he never listens. I glanced up at the kitchen and froze. Someone was in my kitchen. Rifling through my cupboards, looking for food. Oh my Gah, I'm going to die. I'm gonna -

Wait a second. I know that butt.

"HITOMI!" I yelled. My oldest jumped, hitting her head on the top of the cupboard.

"Damn, Mom, what!?" she groaned, rubbing the spot she'd hit.

"What are you doing here? You almost scared me half to death," I said, swatting at her with the dust rag I was holding.

"Can't a girl just come home for dinner?" she complained.

"Nope," I replied, giving her a hug. I took the opportunity to tug playfully on her hair. "Still blonde?" I teased, pulling back to look at her.

"Yeah," she laughed a little. I studied her face carefully.

"What's wrong?" She sighed and plopped down in one of the kitchen chairs. I sat down across from her.

"Um. Well, I - "

"I'm home!"

Ugh. That boy and his timing. I could hear my youngest walking towards us, probably in search of food again. Hitomi glanced behind me and smiled.

"HEY!" my son laughed. "Look what the cat dragged in. Damn, sis, you look like hell. What, did you get dumped or something?" The look on Hitomi's face told me that was exactly what had happened.

"Go to your room," I snapped without turning around.

"But Mom, I - " I turned and glared at him.

"I said go to your room! And if I find a pile of your dirty dishes by the computer again, you'll be staying in your room all weekend, understand?" He rolled his eyes and flounced out of the kitchen.

"He's getting to that stage already, huh?" Hitomi commented.

"Yeah, parenting's a real joy," I agreed. "Now talk."

"It's complicated," she sighed.

"Most things are," I replied with a smile. "So, you were seeing someone?"

"Yeah, well... I think I still am, technically, but... I don't know, it's weird."

"Ok..." I said slowly. "When did this start?"

"Um..." she leaned back thoughtfully. "April...?" I raised an eyebrow. She'd been seeing someone since April and this is the first I'd heard about it!? "Yeah, April of 2005."

"2005!?" I exclaimed. "You've been dating the same person for over two years and never thought to mention it?!"

"Pretty much," she shrugged. I shook my head.

"Wait - have you slept together?!"

"MOTHER!"

"Not like that, you little pervert!" I exclaimed. "I mean, well... you get cold easily and in the winter, you put on some of the strangest combinations of pajamas I've ever seen in my life." Hitomi groaned dramatically.

"Yes, my pajamas have been seen. I was told it's cute. And anyway, they're not strange. They're warm and comfortable," she insisted.

"Riiiight. So what happened?"

"I did something really, really stupid," Hitomi sighed. "And, honestly, she... um, that is, uh... er... by the way, I'm a le- "

"Hitomi, I'm your mother. I knew you were gay before you did. Continue." She laughed, her cheeks turning a little red.

"Right. So, really, she should have broken up with me on the spot, but... she didn't. She just kind of walked out."

"Isn't that the same thing?" I asked.

"Well, no, because she left the dogs and all of her things. I mean, we'd have to take her off the lease too, and - "

"YOU MOVED IN WITH HER!?" I exclaimed. I smacked the table. "Have I ever even met this girl you're shacked up with?"

"Um..." She bit her thumbnail like she always does when she's distracted. "Yeah, you've met her at least once."

"Ok, you have got to start talking to me more," I shook my head. "But that can wait. So, you did something stupid - which I'm guessing means you won't tell me what - and your live-in girlfriend walked out."

"Right."

"So... what? You can't find her?"

"No, no. I found her the next morning. But she won't see me or talk to me," Hitomi sighed.

"Maybe she just needs some time to think?" My daughter shook her head.

"Mi- um, she's more the 'say exactly what I think and figure out what I meant later' type."

"Oh." I sat there thoughtfully. "Mi", huh...

"And I ran into her yesterday and she acted normal for a second - "

"By 'normal' you mean she yelled at you?" I asked, starting to piece things together.

"Right. And then she apologized and ran off." Hitomi shook her head. "I really don't know what to do. I think she's holding all of it in because she doesn't want to hurt me, but..."

"But she needs to let it out so you can work past it," I replied. She nodded.

"Mom, what am I supposed to do?"

"Make her," I shrugged.

"What?" she stared at me.

"Make her yell at you. Next time you see her, take her aside - find an empty dressing room or a storage closet or something - and make her yell at you." Hitomi got a weird look on her face and cleared her throat. "No good?"

"No! No, just... thinking of something else. Sorry. Um, how can I make her yell at me?"

"I dunno, provoke her a little. Quite frankly, from what little you've told me, it sounds like you've got nothing to lose at this point. Either she lets it out and you two work past it or she doesn't and well..." I trailed off. She nodded slowly.

"Thanks."

"That's what I'm here for. Well, that and free food," I grinned, reaching across the table to pat her hand. "I do have a question for you, though."

"Hmm?"

"Didn't Fujimoto get Friday'd with some comedian a few months ago?" Her shocked expression told me that my guess was correct.

"Uh, technically, but, uh - "

"She faked it?" I supplied. My daughter looked at me carefully and slowly nodded. I smiled. "That's what I thought."

You know, I almost spit tea at the computer when I suddenly realized that we were in the point of view de la Mama Y xD.

But yeah, sorry I haven't commented since my rather demanding critique for your first chapter of the first Memoir xD. I continued stalking it though xD The only thing that irked me was that you could probably write so much more (short chapters bother me, but at the rate in which you release them, it's okay xD).

ANYWHOOOOO. o_____o;

Dear Yomiki needs to get it together xDDD Poor Miki is in a maelstrom of confusion and doesn't know what to do ;-; I guess Yossie will have to reach her in the language of the demon :0 That is...  Uh... -Future and unlikely quote- "Miki! I love you! You are bedridden because I love you SO much...!" or something... xD -giggles at the double meaning- xD...

But yeah, Yossie can act like a clueless buffoon at times, and so does Miki when she's distracted by something, so they both need to get the picture cleared xD. Yossie has the support of her best friends and her mother, and Miki... Miki doesn't really have support, does she? o_o She's got Aya, but she's not exactly encouraging at the moment... Unless you intend to get that under control in the next few chapters... xD

Gahh damn it, Maki should get better soon and clear everything up! D: She's put everyone's favorite couple in angsty shoujo mode! D:

oh,

i thought we went to a time jump to the future to when Yoshizawa had kids already,
the thought made me go "WTF happened to Almond's plot"  :banana:

then i realized Yossie just retreated to an entire house full of Yoshizawas...  :sweat:

 :lol:

im just a bit off on how nonchalant her mom is about Hitomi loveshacking up with another gal,
no protest or pauses, just smooth flowing "yeah yer gay, so whazzup ? "

The only reason I'm not smacking you with a chair is that I'm still hoping for some serious "former-leaders closet making-up time". 



Quote
I sighed as walked towards the kitchen. That freaking kid. No matter how many times I tell him, he never listens. I glanced up at the kitchen and froze. Someone was in my kitchen. Rifling through my cupboards, looking for food. Oh my Gah, I'm going to die. I'm gonna -

Wait a second. I know that butt.

"HITOMI!" I yelled. My oldest jumped, hitting her head on the top of the cupboard.
W...T...F...:stunned:

...

Though...when you think about it, it makes complete sense. Who else who know her better than the woman who carried her around for 9 months and did all that "parenting" stuff when she was younger?

...

I probably shouldn't have said that "former leaders closet making-up time" bit out loud. :mon sweat:

...

...

But wait...does she KNOW about Yossi and Miki? If not, she's in for one HELL of a bombshell.  :dunno:




Quote
I studied her face carefully.

"What's wrong?" She sighed and plopped down in one of the kitchen chairs. I sat down across from her.
Just one look, dear child...and mama knows.



Quote
"Ok..." I said slowly. "When did this start?"

"Um..." she leaned back thoughtfully. "April...?" I raised an eyebrow. She'd been seeing someone since April and this is the first I'd heard about it!? "Yeah, April of 2005."

"2005!?" I exclaimed. "You've been dating the same person for over two years and never thought to mention it?!"
/me makes long whistling noise followed by a *BOOM!*

Yossi = :sweat:
Yossi's Mom = :dizzy:

"Wait - have you slept together?!"
That's got to be on the Top 10 list of things you never want to have your mom ask you. :mon ko:

"I really don't know what to do. I think she's holding all of it in because she doesn't want to hurt me, but..."

"But she needs to let it out so you can work past it," I replied. She nodded.
Isn't that what I've been saying for the past few chapters?  :pimp:



Quote
"Mom, what am I supposed to do?"

"Make her," I shrugged.

"What?" she stared at me.

"Make her yell at you.
That's actually not a bad idea. Miki's doing all that she can to keep herself in check around Yossi, when she should be letting loose.  For Miki's own good (as well as her own), Yossi might have to do this.



Quote
Next time you see her, take her aside - find an empty dressing room or a storage closet or something - and make her yell at you." Hitomi got a weird look on her face and cleared her throat. "No good?"
Dressing room could work.

...

Probably better to avoid the closets for the time being.  :P



Quote
Quite frankly, from what little you've told me, it sounds like you've got nothing to lose at this point. Either she lets it out and you two work past it or she doesn't and well..." I trailed off. She nodded slowly.
Yet another good point. Trying this stunt is definitely risky, as Miki hasn't been acting like she normally would, which makes this whole situation very unpredictable.  But like Yossi's mom said, at this point they don't have anything to lose.  Also...for a love like this...the risk is worth it.

Well, I dunno. The entire storyline of memoir was omgah, what is Yossy all angsty about?! What happened at the end?
And then just before the end I totally started over. I thought that was pretty evil... :glasses:

Ok good point :P
How about I just say you've always been evil then ;)

I apologise in advance... I'm really tired so this is a crap comment.
Love the fact it was her mum's POV, such a classic almond move :) (oh and I figured it out like right away coz you always put 'Yossy' at the start of hers right?)
YAY for less angst and some humour and unlike everyone else, i think the closet would be a good idea coz then once Miki yells it all out, they can remember the good times and how romantic of Yossy to deliberately take her back to the place it all started (both times) so they can start again... That would make me melt at least :heart:

Yocchan's mum = totally cool :D (maybe cooler then Maki's mum  :shocked: )

I know I have a problem with short chapters. The problem is that I'm obsessed with getting a good ending line. And if I find one, I'll end the scene. XD

PART 13
AYA - AUGUST 25TH

>beep beep<

I groaned and flipped open my cell phone.

ayayayaya
You're out of ice cream again. All that's left is vanilla.
And I hate vanilla, but I'm eating it anyway.
Could you get more on your way home? Please?
Thanks! You're the bestest friend ever. <3
mikikikiki

I sighed heavily. Again with the freaking ice cream. If Tan wasn't carefully, she'd be putting retro Yoshizawa to shame in no time. Suddenly, my eyes spotted a familiar face in the hallway.

"YOU!" I shouted. Yossy jumped and stared at me in alarm. I stalked over to her and grabbed her by the shoulders.

"Aya, what the hell?"

"You. Need. To. Fix. This," I said slowly, shaking her a little with each word. She looked alarmed.

"Ok... first, let's start by you not giving me bruises." I flushed and released my death grip on her. "Thanks," she said in an amused tone. "Now what do I need to fix?"

"Tan," I replied. Yossy's face fell.

"Aya, that's pretty hard to do when she still won't see me," she said in a quiet voice.

"I know and I'm sorry for bringing it up at work, but she's... I don't even know what she is right now."

"Well, I just finished for the day anyway. What do you mean you don't know?"

"She hasn't left my apartment since she ran into you in the cafeteria," I started.

"That's pretty normal for her," Yossy laughed. "She doesn't like going out."

"I know, but... she's still in her pajamas. She only showered this morning because I made her. And I'm pretty sure all she's done the past two days is sit on my couch eating ice cream." Yossy bit her lip and looked away from me. "Yossy, I don't think she's sleeping either."

"What do you want me to do, Aya? Break your door down?" she sighed, turning back to face me. I reached into my purse and pulled out a small envelope.

"I got this made today for Tan, but I think I'll have you deliver it," I said, pulling out the spare key and handing it to her. She looked down at the key and nodded.

"Thanks," she said quietly. I smiled.

"Just do me one favor, ok?"

"What?"

"Don't have sex on my couch. I like my couch."

Sorry, it's kind of short, but I needed a chapter to get from point a to point b. ^^;

The bed! have sex in ayaya's bed! does she like her bed? Maybe her floor, or her wall, or the kitchen table, or her balcony. That's if Miki doesn't stop Yossi in the place they take their shoes off, if so, take her right there... Does Aya like her apartment like she likes (wow) her couch? Maybe Aya doesn't like her bathroom very much...  :hehehe:

This chapter made me realize that Aya's my fav character in this story, I really hope you have a good ending for her... and by that I mean you'll regret it if you don't... j/k xD

Hmmmmmmmm, I'm still trying to figure out what will happen till the end that will take about 10 chapters. I think either Maki will have a lot to do in those chapters or she won't be there at all until the last chapter(s), where she will do a star appearance explaining it all.

Hmmm...in some ways it would appear that Miki might be back to normal (or at least on her way there).  However...the fact that she's eating a flavour of ice cream that she hates, AND the fact that she's making Aya buy some more instead of going out herself so she can pick her own flavour shows that she's more likely than not just putting on a brave face. :(

(Okay, with the latter it's probably also a smidge of "Miki-sama laziness" involved, but I wanted to make it dramatic so BEH! (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/hpsmileys/MikiBehSmall.gif) ).

Ok, normally Miki in PJs eating ice cream would be hawt...but NOT when she hasn't showered for a few days and looks all raggedy-ass from not sleeping.  :badluck:

A spare key to Aya's apartment? With this now in play, for sure things are going to get settled one way or the other. Yossi and Miki are now bound to have their confrontation over what "they are" now, with the spare key being the point of no return. If Miki wants to completely break things off with Yossi, she'll take the key since she'll be moving in with Aya until she can get a new apartment for herself. If, however they work things out...the key will still be in the envelope when Aya eventually returns.

I love how Aya's rooting for them to patch things up. She wouldn't have mentioned the "no sex on my couch" bit if she didn't think it could happen. <3 On the bright side, if things work out, Miki and Yossi could now add Aya's apartment to their *cough* list. =P

"Don't have sex on my couch. I like my couch."
The bed! have sex in ayaya's bed! does she like her bed? Maybe her floor, or her wall, or the kitchen table, or her balcony. That's if Miki doesn't stop Yossi in the place they take their shoes off, if so, take her right there... Does Aya like her apartment like she likes (wow) her couch? Maybe Aya doesn't like her bathroom very much...  :hehehe:
Aya was probably thinking that since Miki's already ON the couch, Yossy would probably just take her right then and there.

This chapter made me realize that Aya's my fav character in this story, I really hope you have a good ending for her... and by that I mean you'll regret it if you don't... j/k xD
Huh... I haven't even thought of anything for Aya really XD *will have to get on that*

Hmmmmmmmm, I'm still trying to figure out what will happen till the end that will take about 10 chapters. I think either Maki will have a lot to do in those chapters or she won't be there at all until the last chapter(s), where she will do a star appearance explaining it all.
:wahaha:

Hmmm...in some ways it would appear that Miki might be back to normal (or at least on her way there).  However...the fact that she's eating a flavour of ice cream that she hates, AND the fact that she's making Aya buy some more instead of going out herself so she can pick her own flavour shows that she's more likely than not just putting on a brave face. :(
It's very easy to be cheerful in messages. Miki's so up and down emotionally right now, she doesn't know what she wants other than some damn ice cream. XD

(Okay, with the latter it's probably also a smidge of "Miki-sama laziness" involved, but I wanted to make it dramatic so BEH! (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/hpsmileys/MikiBehSmall.gif) ).
MIKI BEH FTW

No shit.
Aya = :mon blowhorn:
Yossi =  :mon ko:
Almond =  :on lol:

Quote
"What do you want me to do, Aya? Break your door down?" she sighed, turning back to face me.
Remember what you mom told you Yossi. Sometimes you have to FORCE them to see you. :yep:
Yossy's willing to force herself into Miki's presence at this point. The problem is getting through that pesky door.

A spare key to Aya's apartment? With this now in play, for sure things are going to get settled one way or the other. Yossi and Miki are now bound to have their confrontation over what "they are" now, with the spare key being the point of no return. If Miki wants to completely break things off with Yossi, she'll take the key since she'll be moving in with Aya until she can get a new apartment for herself. If, however they work things out...the key will still be in the envelope when Aya eventually returns.
That key really isn't the one to be concerned about... I'm surprised no one's wondered about where the keys Miki grabbed when she left came from...

I love how Aya's rooting for them to patch things up. She wouldn't have mentioned the "no sex on my couch" bit if she didn't think it could happen. <3 On the bright side, if things work out, Miki and Yossi could now add Aya's apartment to their *cough* list. =P 
If they do make up and Miki still gets the spare key, I have the feeling they'd add it eventually.=D

Ok, new part.
This took me forever to write and I'm rather pleased with how it turned out. It's a fairly long chapter for me too!
And, yes. It's THE BIG SCENE. Finally, right?

PART 14
YOSSY - AUGUST 25TH

Miki was sitting on the couch, staring out the window. She seemed lost in her own thoughts. Her hair was tangled and messy. There were dark circles under her eyes. The setting sun coming through the window lit up her profile. She looked so tired and so beautiful, like a war-weary goddess.

I almost turned around and walked right back out.

She turned her head and looked at me. For a split second, I wanted to ask where Miki was. I mean... it was Miki, but it wasn't. She didn't have that sparkle, that fire in her eyes. I began to fear that maybe in that one stupid drunken bender, I really had destroyed everything beyond repair.

"Yossy, what are you doing here?" she said finally, turning away from me to look out the window again.

"We need to talk," I replied.

"I told you. I can't talk to you right now," she sighed.

"Then hit me."

"What!?" That got her attention.

"Hit me. Punch me. Kick me. Throw something at me. I don't care." She rolled her eyes.

"Yossy, I'm not going to hit you."

"You're not going to do much of anything are you?" I demanded. She stood up and faced me.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Miki asked, a edge of annoyance creeping into her voice

"It means you're refusing to deal with this. You're hiding here at Aya's refusing to see me or talk to me or do anything. You can't just keep bottling this in, Miki. I know you're pissed and I know you don't want to hurt me, but I deserve it at this point. So, if you can't talk, just hit me."

She looked down at the floor and said nothing. Shit. My mom was right. It was all or nothing now.

"So that's it?" I asked quietly.

"You should go," she said stiffly, walking away from me. She started fiddling with some knickknacks on the bookshelf.

"Dammit, Miki, don't fucking do this!" I exclaimed, stalking over to her. I grabbed her by the shoulders and turned her towards me. She looked down at the floor. "I know, okay? I know you're trying to hold back. I know you don't want to hurt me, but this is killing you. I'm not worth it, okay?! I fucked up. I didn't believe in you. I got stupid. I got drunk and I cheated on you. I'm a complete and total jackass."

"And?" And?

"...I'm sorry," I said finally. She started laughing and looked up at me. The fire was back in her eyes.

"'Sorry'?" she mimicked. "You're sorry? You go off and fuck Goto and all you keep saying is 'I'm sorry'?"

"It's true! What do you want me to say?"

"How about why? Don't you trust me by now? Haven't I proven over and over again that I'd do anything for you?!"

"Miki..."

"Don't 'Miki...' me," she rolled her eyes. "You're apparently the holy child who can do no wrong. Oh! Yossy and Fujimoto have had a fight! Fujimoto must have cheated on her!"

"Ok, that's not my fault," I protested. "You apparently left them crazy messages - "

"Yeah, I did! I was panicked trying to find you. Of course, I didn't know that you'd lost your fucking mind and run off to bang Maki."

"I walked in on you making out with Aya - who I had just said had a crush on you. Yes, I should have trusted you or at least stuck around long enough to find out what the hell was going on. And, no, that's not an excuse for what I did, but I mean... what was I supposed to think?"

"Oh, I don't know - something besides 'I'm gonna get drunk and go visit my ex who likes to touch her boobies'?" she snapped sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

"I didn't go visit her," I sighed.

"Drunk dial? 'Hey, Gocchiiiiin, can I check out your boob job?'"

"No, we ran into each other at the bar or something. I kind of remember her suddenly appearing next to me."

"Wait. You 'kind of' remember? Yossy, do you even remember what you did!?" Miki stared at me incredulously.

"Only bits and pieces."

"Only... so, what, you remember running into her and then being up-close-and-personal with her Some Boys! Touch?" God, I wanted to kiss her so much right then.

"I don't remember that part at all," I admitted.

"What?" she gaped at me. "Are you sure you even slept with her?"

"Yeah, I mean..." I sighed. "Miki, I just do, ok? You don't want to hear about this."

"Quite frankly, I don't think there's anything you could say that would be worse than what I see in my mind every time I look at you."

"...fine." I walked over to where I'd laid my purse when I walked in. I pulled out that damn note and shoved it into her hand. "Happy?"

"...'trouble walking'? What the hell, did she sodomize you or something?" she raised an eyebrow.

"Very funny."

"Thanks. ...'I won't tell Miki'... yeah, I bet you won't... 'Korea'... oh that's where she went... 'spare keys'...huh" she looked a little thoughtful as she handed it back to me. I shoved it back into my purse. "That doesn't really prove anything."

"I woke up naked in her bed, Miki." She flinched. "And I remember enough..."

"That bitch."

"What?" I stared at her blankly. She was shaking her head and looking down.

"I can't believe she would do this. I knew she still had a thing for you, but to take advantage of you when you were like that..."

"Wait, you're blaming all of this on Maki?!" I blinked.

"Oh, not completely. You shouldn't have been drunk off your ass. You shouldn't have been willing to sleep with her. But she sure as hell shouldn't have fucked someone who didn't know what the hell they were doing," she snapped.

"Miki!"

"Please, it's true. She was sober, you were smashed. So, yeah, I do blame her. And when she gets back from wherever the hell she's crawled off to now - "

"She's sick."

"Oh, right. With Nono's fake 'I'm pregnant' illness. Right. She probably just didn't want to come back and own up to what she's done."

"Ok, you know what?" I snapped. "You need to get off your high horse. You're not completely blameless in this mess." She glared at me. "Yeah, I shouldn't have gotten drunk. Yeah, I sure as hell shouldn't have slept with her. But, you shouldn't have been off with your tongue in Aya's mouth! Don't act like you had nothing to do with this!"

Her eyes narrowed. I knew I'd gone too far. But I couldn't take the words back.

She slapped me across the face. Hard.

I stumbled back a little, bumping into the couch. Tears were slowly rolling down Miki's cheeks as she glared at me.

"Don't you fucking blame this on me," she said in a low voice. "I'm an idiot, but you should have trusted me."

"You're right," I replied, rubbing my cheek.

"Damn straight I'm right," she sniffed, angrily wiping away some of her still-falling tears. "You - "

"I'm sorry," I said quietly.

"I know." She took a shaky breath. We looked at each other silently.

"Can we work through this?" I asked finally, scared to hear the answer.

"I don't know," she replied, sniffling. "I... God, I want to. I just... every single time I think about you, I think about it. Every time I see you, I..." she trailed off and looked up at me. "It would be easier if I could just hate you and be done with it."

"Ok, I'll... " I sighed. "I'll leave it up to you, then. I don't want to push you, but... I love you and I miss you." I reached down and picked my purse back up.

"Don't..." She was crying harder now.

"What?" God, she looked so miserable. I wanted to hold her, to comfort her, to make this all go away.

"Just... don't..." she managed to get out.

She walked forward and leaned her head against my chest, her tears making damp spots on my shirt. I hesitantly put my arms around her. Miki grabbed the edge of my shirt and held onto it for dear life, leaning into me like she didn't have the strength to stand any more. I slowly maneuvered us backwards onto the couch and kissed the top of her head.

"I love you," I said quietly, rubbing her back.

"I love you, too," she sobbed into my shirt.


I opened my eyes when I heard the door unlock. Miki was asleep, still half laying on me, her face streaked with dried tears. I had my chin resting on the top of her head and was still absentmindedly rubbing her back. Aya opened the door and cautiously stepped inside.

"Tan?" she called. She looked over at me and a small smile appeared on her face. I put my finger to my lips. Aya walked over to us. "Fixed?"

"No," I said quietly, shaking my head. I looked down at the sleeping girl in my arms. "But it's a start."

I soooooooooooo needed this to happen. Now i'm starting to feel more complete *satisfyingly sighs*  :stuffed: GAHH I loved it... probably one of my fave ch out of the whole series. So flangsty... i'm a sucker for it!

I felt that slap on my hand. FINALLY we get physical :ding:

TWAS AWESOME.. the passive-aggresiveness, the provoking, the screaming, the slapping, the crying, the hugging, the sleeping with tear marks... and the best friends ruining the moment by asking "fixed?"

That'll do pig... that'll do.  XD

Ooooh, I like this chapter.

I love how it goes back and forth with more and more accusations, and how it accumulates to the extent where they start pulling anything and everything out of their heads so one of them would "win" the argument. You do a good job portraying the mixed tensions and emotions coming from this chapter <3. Love the sodomized joke xD.

But now I'm even more curious about Maki's input xD I hope she's brought around to clear things up soon xD.

Meanwhile, I hope Miki and Yossie make out up soon! <3

That's kinda embarrassing but your mom is funny. She makes it sound like you have no need for underwear. You have a right to want underwear too. :lol:

In the latest chapter, you've done a great job with the back and forth dialogue pacing and progression of the situation. The moment of the slap was like Nakazawa's death glare in terms of creating that moment of pause. I could just hear the slap sound in my head. I don't know why but that part made me really happy.lol  Even when Miki is not all together, she still got her skillz as the tsukkomi queen.  Miki is right to go after Gocchin, and good for you Yossy, in showing Miki Maki's vague message.  Yossy is really honourable so she doesn't involve Maki at all in this but Miki is the one that thinks more realistically in her straight forward manner. She bulldozes her way towards her goal so don't stand in her way, else ending up Miki'd.  :yep:

That key really isn't the one to be concerned about... I'm surprised no one's wondered about where the keys Miki grabbed when she left came from...
I thought she had grabbed Yossi's keys. Yossi did say that Miki had left her own keys behind, which Yossi brought with her the first time she went to Aya's place to try and see her. (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/blink.gif)

Well, going through what she's gone through isn't exactly going to fill her full of "genki". :cry:

"We need to talk," I replied.

"I told you. I can't talk to you right now," she sighed.

...

"You're not going to do much of anything are you?" I demanded. She stood up and faced me.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Miki asked, a edge of annoyance creeping into her voice

"It means you're refusing to deal with this. You're hiding here at Aya's refusing to see me or talk to me or do anything. You can't just keep bottling this in, Miki. I know you're pissed and I know you don't want to hurt me, but I deserve it at this point. So, if you can't talk, just hit me."
Okay, on the right track here (since Miki's starting to sound annoyed). Yossi's basically giving her the "OK" to completely lash out at her because (as she herself admitted), she deserves it because of what she did.

Keep it going Yossi!



Quote
She looked down at the floor and said nothing. Shit. My mom was right. It was all or nothing now.
MAMA KNOWS!!!

Don't give up Yossi!!!



Quote
"...I'm sorry," I said finally. She started laughing and looked up at me. The fire was back in her eyes.
Oh, did it work? :O



Quote
"'Sorry'?" she mimicked. "You're sorry? You go off and fuck Goto and all you keep saying is 'I'm sorry'?"
Oh yeah, I think it worked.



Quote
"It's true! What do you want me to say?"

"How about why? Don't you trust me by now? Haven't I proven over and over again that I'd do anything for you?!"
Come to think of it, that is an EXCELLENT point by Miki-sama. I mean, she got herself FRIDAY'd to be with Yossi. She gave up MM and risked her career because she couldn't stand to not be without her.  Yossi had had Miki's heart from day one.  When she's willing to take steps THAT drastic for the woman she loves, there's no way she'd then risk messing it up by cheating on her. 



Quote
"I walked in on you making out with Aya - who I had just said had a crush on you. Yes, I should have trusted you or at least stuck around long enough to find out what the hell was going on. And, no, that's not an excuse for what I did, but I mean... what was I supposed to think?"
In Yossi's defence, at the time she had a purely emotional reaction to what she saw, which is normal...considering what she saw. As she has admitted, she should have kept her head and at least found out what was going on at that time instead of just running off to get plastered. That, as she now knows, was the BIG mistake.



Quote
"Oh, I don't know - something besides 'I'm gonna get drunk and go visit my ex who likes to touch her boobies'?" she snapped sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
This is funny 'cuz if you watch her last few PVs you realize it's true!  :rofl:



Quote
"I didn't go visit her," I sighed.

"Drunk dial? 'Hey, Gocchiiiiin, can I check out your boob job?'"

"No, we ran into each other at the bar or something. I kind of remember her suddenly appearing next to me."

"Wait. You 'kind of' remember? Yossy, do you even remember what you did!?" Miki stared at me incredulously.

"Only bits and pieces."
Now THIS part is what Miki didn't know about. She was under the impression that Yossi got drunk and contacted Maki with the deliberate intent of getting laid. This misunderstanding is sort of Yossi's fault too. When she confessed to Miki about how she woke up 'sans clothing' at Maki's place, she neglected to say that she DIDN'T remember how she ran into Maki that night.  If she had told her that, then Miki wouldn't have been spending all this time thinking that Yossi deliberately went looking for a Maki booty-call. Would she have still walked out of the apartment and headed to Aya's? Maybe, maybe not. We don't know how much of an effect that little tidbit of knowledge would have had on that part of the current situation.  The important thing though is that Yossi's telling Miki about it, and that Miki's listening. :yep:



Quote
"Only... so, what, you remember running into her and then being up-close-and-personal with her Some Boys! Touch?"
:on lol:



Quote
"I don't remember that part at all," I admitted.

Miki's thinking what a bunch of us have been thinking!  :w00t:



Quote
"I woke up naked in her bed, Miki." She flinched. "And I remember enough..."
Well, she THINKS she remembers...but considering how hosed she was, does she actually remember things the way they truly happened?  :hehehe:



Quote
"I can't believe she would do this. I knew she still had a thing for you, but to take advantage of you when you were like that..."

"Wait, you're blaming all of this on Maki?!" I blinked.

"Oh, not completely. You shouldn't have been drunk off your ass. You shouldn't have been willing to sleep with her. But she sure as hell shouldn't have fucked someone who didn't know what the hell they were doing," she snapped.
Another excellent point by Miki. Even if Yossi was being all Miki-like with Maki, Maki knew the situation they were in and she should have respected both of them enough to exercise a little self-restraint and said no.



Quote
"Ok, you know what?" I snapped. "You need to get off your high horse. You're not completely blameless in this mess." She glared at me. "Yeah, I shouldn't have gotten drunk. Yeah, I sure as hell shouldn't have slept with her. But, you shouldn't have been off with your tongue in Aya's mouth! Don't act like you had nothing to do with this!"
Miki never said that she didn't fuck up. She was trying to find Yossi to explain and when she finally did she totally admitted to it.



Quote
Her eyes narrowed. I knew I'd gone too far. But I couldn't take the words back.

She slapped me across the face. Hard.
:OMG:

Well, earlier Yossi DID ask for it...literally.



Quote
"Can we work through this?" I asked finally, scared to hear the answer.

"I don't know," she replied, sniffling. "I... God, I want to. I just... every single time I think about you, I think about it. Every time I see you, I..." she trailed off and looked up at me. "It would be easier if I could just hate you and be done with it."

"Ok, I'll... " I sighed. "I'll leave it up to you, then. I don't want to push you, but... I love you and I miss you." I reached down and picked my purse back up.

"Don't..." She was crying harder now.

"What?" God, she looked so miserable. I wanted to hold her, to comfort her, to make this all go away.

"Just... don't..." she managed to get out.

She walked forward and leaned her head against my chest, her tears making damp spots on my shirt. I hesitantly put my arms around her. Miki grabbed the edge of my shirt and held onto it for dear life, leaning into me like she didn't have the strength to stand any more. I slowly maneuvered us backwards onto the couch and kissed the top of her head.

"I love you," I said quietly, rubbing her back.

A start is good. A start is what they needed. :yep:  They were both just going on pretty aimlessly, which didn't help either of them at all. Now while the next part of the journey could prove to be incredibly hurtful (depending on what they discover), it will still help them to figure out not only where they stand, but if they stand alone, or together.

Just noticed this! What comes after the "You-" O.O?

A start is good. A start is what they needed.   They were both just going on pretty aimlessly, which didn't help either of them at all. Now while the next part of the journey could prove to be incredibly hurtful (depending on what they discover), it will still help them to figure out not only where they stand, but if they stand alone, or together.
Dunno i think it can only get better, unless Almond-sensei decides to add some apocoliptic story line and the earth is destroyed by a massive comet before they talk to Maki >.<.

I am also a firm believer that it's worse to not know... imagination runs wild and makes it worse. So it defnately can only get better. I mean what's the worse that can happen?... she DID sleep with Maki and with two more girls who were at the bar that night? Mt. Fuji already forgave her so BRING IT ON! *starts cheerleading*

@lolipopgirl: If not as another chapter than as an omake! Even if it's not funneh!

Long time lurker, finally posting!

One of my perffered stories here and this is most likely the story i like the most out of the trilogy. Keep up the goo work, can't wait to here from Ayaka in the next chapter.

that's all I can say is...wow. You had me hooked with the slap, I was awed by it.
I'd love to take full credit for that, but in truth, one of my betas, Kue, insisted on the slap.

TWAS AWESOME.. the passive-aggresiveness, the provoking, the screaming, the slapping, the crying, the hugging, the sleeping with tear marks... and the best friends ruining the moment by asking "fixed?"
LOL thanks.

*pats almonds back*

That'll do pig... that'll do.  XD
wtf I'm not a pig  :angry:

I don't even know what to say...... Such cuuuuuuuuuuuute start
^^

I love how it goes back and forth with more and more accusations, and how it accumulates to the extent where they start pulling anything and everything out of their heads so one of them would "win" the argument. You do a good job portraying the mixed tensions and emotions coming from this chapter <3. Love the sodomized joke xD.
Thanks a lot! This chapter was really hard for me to write, so much going on in one scene. I tried to shove it all in there, but I'm still not sure if it all showed up or not.

But now I'm even more curious about Maki's input xD I hope she's brought around to clear things up soon xD.
Maki'll be back fairly soon.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  :gyaaah:
You made me cry  :cry: I didn't actually cry in any of the 'angsty' ones at the start (just internally cried  ;)) but you cracked my 'tough' exterior this time.
:O *passes out tissues*

:dizzy: I think Yossy is getting dumber... That's up there on the stupidest things to say when trying to win your girlfriend back  :P Oh no she didn't  :O
It wasn't so much her being dumb as it was Yossy's desperation. She was trying any and everything to get Miki back. Also, Yossy doesn't really blame anyone but herself for what happened, so when Miki was laying the blame completely at Maki's feet, Yossy got defensive.

You are incredible *lollipopgirl bows down to almond and kisses the ground she is walking*
*lollipopgirl realises what she just did, stands back up straighten out her clothes and darts her eyes around nervously*
:sweat:

Quote from: almond
So very, very true. That and "So, wait. When I look at the Victoria's Secret catalog, I'm looking at the bras and stuff. Since you're gay, you're looking at the girls, right?"
:rofl: :on lol: That's hilarious  :rofl:
Sadly, that really happened.  :banghead:

So very, very true. That and "So, wait. When I look at the Victoria's Secret catalog, I'm looking at the bras and stuff. Since you're gay, you're looking at the girls, right?"  :depressed:
That's kinda embarrassing but your mom is funny. She makes it sound like you have no need for underwear. You have a right to want underwear too. :lol:
THANK YOU!  XD

Yossy is really honourable so she doesn't involve Maki at all in this but Miki is the one that thinks more realistically in her straight forward manner.
Exactly. Yossy doesn't blame any of this on Maki. Miki, on the other hand, blames the entire thing on Maki.

wow, i should get myself more often in this sort of argument! i think it's a damn good holistic workout !  :)
:prayers:

Quote
That key really isn't the one to be concerned about... I'm surprised no one's wondered about where the keys Miki grabbed when she left came from...
I thought she had grabbed Yossi's keys. Yossi did say that Miki had left her own keys behind, which Yossi brought with her the first time she went to Aya's place to try and see her. (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/blink.gif)
Nope.

Quote
She turned her head and looked at me. For a split second, I wanted to ask where Miki was. I mean... it was Miki, but it wasn't. She didn't have that sparkle, that fire in her eyes. I began to fear that maybe in that one stupid drunken bender, I really had destroyed everything beyond repair.
Well, going through what she's gone through isn't exactly going to fill her full of "genki". :cry:
Yeah, Miki's Genki- right now.

Quote
"How about why? Don't you trust me by now? Haven't I proven over and over again that I'd do anything for you?!"
Come to think of it, that is an EXCELLENT point by Miki-sama. I mean, she got herself FRIDAY'd to be with Yossi. She gave up MM and risked her career because she couldn't stand to not be without her.  Yossi had had Miki's heart from day one.  When she's willing to take steps THAT drastic for the woman she loves, there's no way she'd then risk messing it up by cheating on her. 
Exactly. Yossy acted with her heart instead of her head, though. And that's why things got to this point.

Quote
"I walked in on you making out with Aya - who I had just said had a crush on you. Yes, I should have trusted you or at least stuck around long enough to find out what the hell was going on. And, no, that's not an excuse for what I did, but I mean... what was I supposed to think?"
In Yossi's defence, at the time she had a purely emotional reaction to what she saw, which is normal...considering what she saw.
GET OUTTA MY HEAD  :heart:

If she had told her that, then Miki wouldn't have been spending all this time thinking that Yossi deliberately went looking for a Maki booty-call. Would she have still walked out of the apartment and headed to Aya's? Maybe, maybe not. We don't know how much of an effect that little tidbit of knowledge would have had on that part of the current situation.  The important thing though is that Yossi's telling Miki about it, and that Miki's listening. :yep:
I think Miki still would have left. She was in too much shock at the time to think of anything really.

Well, she THINKS she remembers...but considering how hosed she was, does she actually remember things the way they truly happened?  :hehehe:
:wahaha:

Quote
"Oh, not completely. You shouldn't have been drunk off your ass. You shouldn't have been willing to sleep with her. But she sure as hell shouldn't have fucked someone who didn't know what the hell they were doing," she snapped.
Another excellent point by Miki. Even if Yossi was being all Miki-like with Maki, Maki knew the situation they were in and she should have respected both of them enough to exercise a little self-restraint and said no.
Yep. Miki wants to basically kill Goto at this point. Not just because it was Yossy, but also because Goto doing that to anyone is offensive to Miki.
And I'm not saying what happened, I'm just pointing out what Miki's thinking.  ;)

/me goes to the freezer to look for ice cream.

OK! Here it is by popular demand. XD

-------------------

PART 15
MIKI - AUGUST 25TH

I sat on the couch and stared out the window, much like I'd been doing for the past few days. It was strange for me to be thinking so much. I'd always been one to act first, think later.

But, I couldn't do that right now. I didn't even know why anymore.

At first, I was trying to protect her. That first night, when she told me that she'd... done that, she looked so hurt, so lost, so disgusted. I didn't want to add to that; I couldn't do that to her no matter what she'd done to me.

But now... I didn't know anymore. Logically, I knew I was angry. Logically, I knew I was hurt deeply. But, I couldn't feel it right now. The phrase 'beside myself with anger' finally made sense to me. I was so upset, I wasn't even feeling it anymore.

I was just calmly looking out the window, almost in awe of how pissed off I was.

Calmly looking out the window, unable to stop thinking about her and Goto having sex.

Calmly looking out the window, watching Yossy's car drive up and park out front of the building.

Wait, what?

I sat up a little and peered out the window. Sure enough, she stepped out of the car and headed inside. I leaned back and sighed. I didn't even move when I heard the door open. For some reason, I wasn't even surprised.

I could feel her eyes on me, studying me. I knew I looked like hell. I'd barely been sleeping the past few days. Every time I closed my eyes, I'd see them together. Finally, I turned and looked at her. We stared at each other silently for a moment.

"Yossy, what are you doing here?" I sighed, turning back to look out the window.

"We need to talk." Her voice was steady, determined.

"I told you. I can't talk to you right now," I replied.

"Then hit me."

"What!?" I exclaimed, turning to gape at her.

"Hit me. Punch me. Kick me. Throw something at me. I don't care." Her serious eyes searched mine.

"Yossy, I'm not going to hit you," I replied, rolling my eyes.

"You're not going to do much of anything are you?" she challenged. My eyes narrowed and I stood up to face her.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I demanded.

"It means you're refusing to deal with this," she replied. I rolled my eyes. "You're hiding here at Aya's refusing to see me or talk to me or do anything. You can't just keep bottling this in, Miki. I know you're pissed and I know you don't want to hurt me, but I deserve it at this point. So, if you can't talk, just hit me."

I looked down at the floor and didn't reply. Yossy, I can't say anything to you because I don't know what to say anymore. I don't know what to do anymore. I rebuilt my entire world around you and it crumbled at my feet. I need you near me, but I can't even look at you right now.

"So that's it?" she said quietly. I walked past her and started rearranging the figurines on Aya's bookshelf.

"You should go," I replied, fighting back the tears behind my eyes that were threatening to fall.

"Dammit, Miki, don't fucking do this" Yossy yelled.

She grabbed me by the shoulders and spun me around to face her. I looked at the floor, trying to compose myself. Even now, even like this, her touch was gentle, like I was her most prized possession.

Did you touch her like that?

"I know, okay?" Yossy continued. "I know you're trying to hold back. I know you don't want to hurt me, but this is killing you. I'm not worth it, okay?!"

Then you don't know. Don't say you're not worth it. You're worth everything to me.

"I fucked up. I didn't believe in you. I got stupid. I got drunk and I cheated on you. I'm a complete and total jackass."

"And?" I asked, wondering why she was saying all this. What did she want me to do exactly? What did she expect from me? Am I supposed to agree and that's it. All happy shiny rainbows? Take me right here, right now on the floor? Are you kidding me?

"I'm sorry," she said after a long pause. I started laughing almost hysterically. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

"'Sorry'?" I mocked, looking up at her. "You're sorry?! You go off and fuck Goto and all you keep saying is 'I'm sorry'?"

"It's true!" she protested. "What do you want me to say?" That it never happened. That you didn't really throw us away for one drunken night with her. That you've still never touched anyone like that but me.

"How about why? Don't you trust me by now? Haven't I proven over and over again that I'd do anything for you?!" She sighed.

"Miki..."

"Don't 'Miki...' me," I mimicked. "You're apparently the holy child who can do no wrong." I grasped my hands together and put on a high-pitched voice. "Oh! Yossy and Fujimoto have had a fight! Fujimoto must have cheated on her!"

"Ok, that's not my fault. You apparently left them crazy messages - "

"Yeah, I did!" I cut her off. "I was panicked trying to find you. Of course, I didn't know that you'd lost your fucking mind and run off to bang Maki." Yossy sighed.

"I walked in on you making out with Aya - who I had just said had a crush on you. Yes, I should have trusted you or at least stuck around long enough to find out what the hell was going on. And, no, that's not an excuse for what I did, but I mean... what was I supposed to think?"

"Oh, I don't know - something besides 'I'm gonna get drunk and go visit my ex who likes to touch her boobies'?" I retorted.

"I didn't go visit her."

"Drunk dial?" I guessed. "'Hey, Gocchiiiiin, can I check out your boob job?'" Yossy gave me a look.

"No, we ran into each other at the bar or something. I kind of remember her suddenly appearing next to me." I raised an eyebrow.

"Wait. You 'kind of' remember?" I stared at her in disbelief. "Yossy, do you even remember what you did!?"

"Only bits and pieces," she admitted.

"Only... so, what, you remember running into her and then being up-close-and-personal with her Some Boys! Touch?" I snapped.

"I don't remember that part at all," she replied quietly.

"What?" My jaw dropped and a tiny bit of hope flickered in my chest. "Are you sure you even slept with her?" Maybe she hadn't. I mean, this IS the same woman who had no idea I was the same girl she'd violated in a closet all those years ago.

...Damn, that was hot.

"Yeah, I mean...." she sighed heavily, drawing my attention back to reality. "Miki, I just do, ok? You don't want to hear about this."

"Quite frankly, I don't think there's anything you could say that would be worse than what I see in my mind every time I look at you," I replied honestly. She gritted her teeth in annoyance.

"fine." She stalked over to her purse and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper. She shoved it into my hand. "Happy?" she practically spat out. I unfolded the paper, smoothing it out a little. My eyes scanned over the writing.

"...'trouble walking'? What the hell, did she sodomize you or something?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Very funny." I grinned despite myself.

"Thanks....'I won't tell Miki'... yeah, I bet you won't... 'Korea'... oh that's where she went... 'spare keys'" I paused while my brain tried to put two and two together. "...huh." I handed the note back to her. She threw it into her purse like she never wanted to see it again. "That doesn't really prove anything," I pointed out.

"I woke up naked in her bed, Miki,." she replied quietly. I flinched as my tiny ray of hope vanished. "And I remember enough..." I shook my head.

"That bitch," I muttered.

"What?"

"I can't believe she would do this." I shook my head. "I knew she still had a thing for you, but to take advantage of you when you were like that..."

"Wait, you're blaming all of this on Maki?!"

"Oh, not completely," I conceded. "You shouldn't have been drunk off your ass. You shouldn't have been willing to sleep with her. But she sure as hell shouldn't have fucked someone who didn't know what the hell they were doing."

"Miki!" She sounded so shocked, I almost wanted to pat her on the head. Poor innocent, naive little Yocchan. So trusting.

"Please, it's true. She was sober, you were smashed. So, yeah, I do blame her. And when she gets back from wherever the hell she's crawled off to now - "

"She's sick," Yossy interrupted me.

"Oh, right. With Nono's fake 'I'm pregnant' illness. Right. She probably just didn't want to come back and own up to what she's done," I rolled my eyes.

"Ok, you know what?" she snapped. "You need to get off your high horse. You're not completely blameless in this mess."

EXCUSE ME?!

"Yeah, I shouldn't have gotten drunk."

Shut up.

"Yeah, I sure as hell shouldn't have slept with her."

Shut up!

"But, you shouldn't have been off with your tongue in Aya's mouth! Don't act like you had nothing to do with this!"

Shut up shut up shut up!

Before I knew what I was doing, I'd slapped her full across the face. She stumbled back a little and hit the couch. To my horror, I realized I was crying.

"Don't you fucking blame this on me," I choked out. "I'm an idiot, but you should have trusted me."

"You're right," she admitted, rubbing her red cheek.

"Damn straight, I'm right!" I angrily swatted away my falling tears. "You -"

"I'm sorry," she quietly interrupted me. I looked at her through my tears.

"I know," I replied. We stared at each other silently. There was nothing left to say.

"Can we work through this?" she asked quietly.

"I don't know," I admitted. I sniffed again. Stupid crying. "I... God, I want to." I don't think you'll ever know how much. "I just... every single time I think about you, I think about it. Every time I see you, I..." I trailed off and looked up at her. God, she was so beautiful. "It would be easier if I could just hate you and be done with it."

"Ok, I'll... " she trailed off and sighed. "I'll leave it up to you, then. I don't want to push you, but... I love you and I miss you." What? She reached down and picked her purse up off the floor. No...

"Don't..." I couldn't get the words out.

"What?" The worry clouding her eyes made me cry harder. I couldn't stop. Don't leave me. Don't go. I need you.

Please, don't go.

"Just... don't..." I choked out. I stepped towards her, leaned my forehead against her warm chest, and cried.

After a moment, she hesitantly put her arms around me, like she was afraid of breaking me. My fists balled up the edge of her shirt and I clung to her, almost unable to move. She tightened her embrace and slowly moved backwards until I found myself on the couch, half-laying on top of her sitting figure. She leaned back against the corner pillows and rubbed my back softly. She kissed the top of my head as I cried harder than I've ever cried before.

"I love you," she said softly.

"I love you, too," I replied, my voice distorted by my tears.

Awwww, I :heart: Miki!
Thank you for writing this in Miki's perspective :D :wub:
And :drool: a long chapter!

I loved Miki's "Shut up"'s before she slapped Yossy... So she kinda did warn Yossy that she was going too far, shame it was just in her head that she was saying it :P
Which brings me to the point that how come we can never say what we want to or know we should say even when its all being recited in our heads :( So many things Miki thought then that I kept thinking "Well say that! That's what she needs to hear dammit!", but no matter how much we try, something else wins over and it never comes out so things drag out a lot more then they need to and both parties keep getting hurt coz for that unknown stupid reason, nothing comes out when it should... Its like the heart wins out over the brain and filters everything you say to stop you from hurting the one you love, even when your own heart is slowly being ripped to shreads :cry:

I think I need to shut up :oops:  :cry:

And btw, i loved the chapter of course ;) and you had me scared with the long break between the two, lol.

Good Job Almond... I didn't know miki knew  :O

They say a good writer is he/she that can write parallel POV and the reader will love both.
kinda like Ender's Game and Ender's shadow XD


I liked watching Miki be taken to the brink here


"SHUT UP"! was a nice touch.

Calmly looking out the window, unable to stop thinking about her and Goto having sex.

Calmly looking out the window, watching Yossy's car drive up and park out front of the building.

Wait, what?
looooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooollllllllooooooooooolll i laughed like a retarded at this
"What?" My jaw dropped and a tiny bit of hope flickered in my chest. "Are you sure you even slept with her?" Maybe she hadn't. I mean, this IS the same woman who had no idea I was the same girl she'd violated in a closet all those years ago.
she's got a point there
...Damn, that was hot.
another point :lol:
"...'trouble walking'? What the hell, did she sodomize you or something?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
I KNOW, RITE?
"Very funny." I grinned despite myself.
double know :lol:
"I woke up naked in her bed, Miki,." she replied quietly. I flinched as my tiny ray of hope vanished. "And I remember enough..." I shook my head.
awwwwwwwwwwww :'(
"She's sick," Yossy interrupted me.
of course she is, she took advantage of a drunk woman, she's bizarre :wat:
"I love you," she said softly.

"I love you, too," I replied, my voice distorted by my tears.
O, I LOVE YOU TWO! Get over this little shake in the relationship and get back to good fluffy-fluff rabu-rabu desu

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! :rockon:

To be honest, I was hoping for this but I didn't outright state it because I figured you'd do it anyway, and if you weren't planning on doing it there'd be plenty of other readers who'd bug you to.  :rofl:

Yep, as painful as it is, that's love right there. :yep:

Well, she's by no means a possession, but Miki IS probably the thing that Yossi values the most in her life right now.

Did you touch her like that?
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/crazy.gif)

"And?" I asked, wondering why she was saying all this. What did she want me to do exactly? What did she expect from me? Am I supposed to agree and that's it. All happy shiny rainbows? Take me right here, right now on the floor? Are you kidding me?
What did she expect? Something...ANYTHING. Yossi said it best, she knows that Miki has been restraining herself to spare her feelings, but she's doing it so such an extreme that she's now unable to deal with it in any way at all.


Quote
"Are you sure you even slept with her?" Maybe she hadn't. I mean, this IS the same woman who had no idea I was the same girl she'd violated in a closet all those years ago.
If Miki's referring to how Yossi can be completely oblivious at times, she must be hoping that Yossi misunderstood, nay perhaps even dreamed up what happened that night.



Quote
Before I knew what I was doing, I'd slapped her full across the face. She stumbled back a little and hit the couch. To my horror, I realized I was crying.
Now THIS is what Miki has needed to do. She's letting herself feel angry, as she should be.

Please, don't go.

Quote
"I love you," she said softly.

"I love you, too," I replied
If Yossi no longer loved her it would be easy for Miki to get mad and completely unleash her fury. But that's not what happened. Yossi's still in love with her just as she's in love with Yossi.  That's what makes this so hard for Miki to deal with.

The thing is... Miki's pretty damn blunt - which makes her fun to write - but some things you just can't say.

And btw, i loved the chapter of course ;) and you had me scared with the long break between the two, lol.
Sorry, I was sick ^^;

They say a good writer is he/she that can write parallel POV and the reader will love both.
kinda like Ender's Game and Ender's shadow XD
Thanks... I did it with the entire first part, though XD
Actually, funny story.
I never intended to write Miki's POV for the first part. But then I was writing the end and Miki just wasn't flowing right, so in order to get into her head, I wrote her POV for the entire fic. XD
And then I was informed repeatedly by my ex that I'm exactly like Miki. ...which I'm still not sure how to take  :lol:

"...'trouble walking'? What the hell, did she sodomize you or something?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
I KNOW, RITE?
I wrote that just for you XD

"She's sick," Yossy interrupted me.
of course she is, she took advantage of a drunk woman, she's bizarre :wat:
POINT! XD

To be honest, I was hoping for this but I didn't outright state it because I figured you'd do it anyway, and if you weren't planning on doing it there'd be plenty of other readers who'd bug you to.  :rofl:
XD SPEAK UP, PEOPLE! I've written probably about 4 different parts simply based on reader ideas, so seriously... speak up!

She grabbed me by the shoulders and spun me around to face her. I looked at the floor, trying to compose myself. Even now, even like this, her touch was gentle, like I was her most prized possession.
Well, she's by no means a possession, but Miki IS probably the thing that Yossi values the most in her life right now.
Exactly. And at this point, Yossy's almost afraid of breaking Miki, so she's being extra careful.

Quote
"Are you sure you even slept with her?" Maybe she hadn't. I mean, this IS the same woman who had no idea I was the same girl she'd violated in a closet all those years ago.
If Miki's referring to how Yossi can be completely oblivious at times, she must be hoping that Yossi misunderstood, nay perhaps even dreamed up what happened that night.
Exactly.  :bingo:


OK! NEW PART!

Narrator is....

PART 16
MIKI - AUGUST 26TH

The smell of coffee brewing woke me up.

I slowly opened my eyes and looked around, disoriented. Somehow I'd flipped around in the middle of the night and was using Yossy's chest as a pillow, half sitting up as I leaned against her. Her arms were loosely looped around my waist and she was absentmindedly running her fingers along my stomach.

I could see Aya in the kitchen, dancing as she sang that Diamonds song to herself. She randomly pumped an empty coffee cup enthusiastically in the air like she was at a concert. Yossy silently shook with laughter beneath me. Aya glanced over and caught my eye.

"Look who finally decided to join us!" she grinned. I felt Yossy stiffen slightly and her fingers froze mid-motion.

"Hey," Yossy said softly in my ear, her voice uncertain. I couldn't blame her. I wasn't even sure how I felt about things at this point, what I wanted from her. How was she supposed to know... All I knew was that I loved her and needed her.

But, I guess that meant I knew something.

I guess I did know what I wanted from her.

I wished things could back the way they were, but I knew that couldn't happen. There wasn't some magic button I could push that would turn back the clock and make it all go away. I just needed her beside me, quietly assuring me that she was mine and wasn't going anywhere. Assuring me that she would never leave me again. Assuring me that I was truly all that mattered to her and anything else was a stupid, stupid mistake. I just needed to know she still loved me.

But I couldn't say that aloud.

Silently, I took hold of her shirt sleeve and played with the fabric. She relaxed a little behind me and tentatively kissed the top of my head.

"Mikitty!" Aya exclaimed, walking over to us. Damn, she was perky. How much coffee did she drink?

"Morning," I mumbled. Aya was grinning from ear-to-ear. "Aya, do you need some downers?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"You two. So cute this morning," she said, ignoring me. Yossy sighed.

"I woke up and caught her trying to take a photo of us with her cell phone," Yossy murmured. Her low voice in my ear made me shiver and she tightened her arms around me.

"Well, it was adorable!" Aya giggled. "You both were smiling in your sleep, all cuddled up together..." she sighed dreamily.

"Seriously, Aya, do you need some downers?" I asked flatly. Yossy chuckled. Aya glared at me.

"I think I almost liked it better when you were angsty and quiet," she muttered. I stuck my tongue out at her. Aya returned the gesture before glancing at Yossy behind me. "If you're giving me a ride, we need to get going."

"Yeah, I know," Yossy sighed and reluctantly released her grip around my waist. I took that as my cue and moved out of her way.

I sat on the edge of the couch and looked at the floor. I still couldn't quite look at her. It was strange. I needed her so much right now, but looking at her uncertain face... It still hurt too much. And sometimes I felt like she could almost see what I was thinking when she looked at me. Especially if I was up to no good.

And right now, my mind was definitely up to no good.

I leaned down and grabbed Yossy's purse from where she had tossed it last night, pausing briefly to stuff something under the couch. I straightened up and handed it to her.

"Thanks," she said quietly. I glanced up and caught her eye. Her piercing gaze made me blush and I quickly glanced back down.

"Oh, just make out already and get it over with!" Aya laughed from the doorway. I looked up and glared at Aya, which just made her laugh harder. That girl needs to switch to decaf. Yossy leaned down and hesitatingly brushed her lips against my cheek.

"Have a good day at work," I said quietly. She pulled back and smiled at me.

"I love you," she whispered, softly touching my cheek.

"I love you, too," I replied, watching her walk out the door with Aya.

I counted to one hundred and leaned over to look out the window. Perfect. Yossy was just driving away with Aya.

I jumped off the couch and squatted on the floor, fishing out the crumpled piece of paper I'd hidden away. I opened it, read it again, and carefully folded it into a neat little square before sliding it into my back pocket.

Pfft. "I won't tell Miki" my ass.

I stalked over to Aya's bedroom and slammed open the door, swiftly heading over to my pile of dirty laundry in the corner. I pulled out my old jeans from that day and shoved my hand in the front pocket.

I smiled slowly as I pulled a small set of keys out of the pocket. I spun them around my finger once before gripping the stylized M keychain tightly.

That bitch was mine.

I came here first to check if you had finally posted part 16 but you hadn't :(. Thankfully a lightbulb turned on and I checked your blog and there it was. Either way i'll give ya a crappy comment here ^_^.

Aya if now officially may favorite character in this story! Who else can be singing daimonds and making coffee at the same time or creepily take papparazi type pictures of a sleeping YOMIKI XD

Yossy is to naive for her own good lol

and Miki's "that bitch was mine" really made me wish it wasn't the end of that CH.

Miki's back and I'm loving it!  :twisted:

well, I really love this story... looking forward to the next chapter  :mon thumb:

Wonder if Yossi's actually awake, or if she's "sleep carressing?"

Nothing like Ayaya who interferes with your attention, when you're trying to get some deep thinking going on. The powers of the idol's idol.  What a relief that Miki and Yossy are doing better now.  Scheming Miki=something good is gonna happen. :yep: What better way to get your groove back than by kicking butt, Fujimoto style.

Exactly! Here's basically what happened to the keys.
They were left for Yossy to lock up with.
Yossy came home and threw them on the counter.
Miki grabbed the nearest keys when she left, figuring they were either hers or Yossys.
Miki realized she'd never seen them before, but ignored it.
Miki reads the note and realizes they're Maki's keys.

PART 17
MAKI - AUGUST 28TH

I smiled and waved politely to the old woman who lives across the hall from me. She eyed me suspiciously and slammed her door shut like she always does. Ah, it's nice to be home.

I pulled out my keys and unlocked the door, pausing to remove my shoes before shutting the door behind me. I sighed and flipped the lights on.

A split second later, I found myself pinned against the wall with a hand around my throat. I coughed, trying to choke out a coherent word and gazed into the eyes of one royally pissed off Fujimoto Miki.

"Mi..." I coughed. "What..."

"You have five seconds to give me a good reason not to beat the shit out of you," Miki said in a low, calm voice. My eyes widened.

"But - "

"And if you think I'm joking, keep in mind that I pretty much have nothing to lose at this point."

"What?!"

"One."

"Miki, I.." I started coughing again.

"Two."

"I CAN'T TALK LIKE THIS!" I managed to yell, pushing her off of me. She smirked.

"Better? Three."

"What are you freaking out about?" I asked, trying to get my bearings. She leaned her head back and laughed.

"Me? Oh, just this." She dangled a piece of paper in front of my eyes. I took it from her and read it.

"Ok..." I said slowly. "First of all, how did you get a hold of this. No, wait. First, how the hell did you get in my apartment. Second, how did you get a hold of this. And third, why don't you ask Yossy?"

"Your spare keys, swiped it from Yocchan's purse, and she doesn't remember a damn thing." She ticked the items off like she was making a grocery list.

"What?!" My jaw dropped. "She doesn't remember anything?!" I grabbed the note and read it again. I started laughing; I couldn't help it. "Oh my God, I... I know I shouldn't write things when I'm mostly asleep, but I didn't realize she wouldn't remember... Oh wow, no wonder you want to kill me!" My hysterical laughter quickly turned into a coughing fit.

"What?" Miki stared at me. I walked past her and into the kitchen to get myself some water.

"Yocchan doesn't remember anything at all?" I asked.

"Just running into you and something about being naked," Miki spat out. I held my hands out defensively even though she was nowhere near me.

"Let me explain," I replied.

"I'm trying to," she rolled her eyes. "I'd hurry up if I was you, though. I don't do calm well."

"I ran into Yossy at the bar down the street. She was drunk. Almost falling over on her ass drunk. I've never seen anyone that smashed and I've gone out with Yuuchan and Kei."

"Yoshizawa. Drunk. Got it."

"I managed to drag her here to sleep it off - "

"And decided to help her out of her drunken stupor with a little Some Girls! Touch action?" she snapped.

"What!? NO!" I laughed. "She kind of, well, puked on the way here, she reeked of alcohol, and honestly, I was a little scared to let her go to sleep like that."

"So you kept her awake by putting your fingers in her - "

"Miki!" I exclaimed. "No. I threw her drunk ass in the shower to sober up a little. She kept laughing and almost fell over, so I had to kind of, well, go in there to keep her steady." Miki raised an eyebrow. "I was fully clothed!" I protested. "Anyway, I managed to get a T-shirt on her before sending her to bed."

"What about this 'trouble walking' bullshit?" she demanded. I pointed at my living room.

"See that coffee table?"

"Yeah."

"She fell over that twice. She rammed into just about everything in here, actually. I'd be shocked if she wasn't completely covered in bruises the next day."

"Wait... so, you really didn't violate my Yocchan?" I laughed and looked down at my empty water glass.

"Who in their right mind would take advantage of the pure innocent Yoshizawa in her drunken stupor?"

"Seriously? Look me in the eye." I laughed and looked her straight in the eye.

"I have never had sex with Yoshizawa Hitomi," I said seriously.

"Oh my Gah."

I laughed again and turned around to refill my glass. "Geez, Miki, you must have a pretty low opinion of me," I laughed. "What kind of person would have slept with their ex like that?" I sighed and turned around.

Miki was nowhere to be found and my front door was wide open. Feeling stupid, I walked over to shut it.

The old lady across the hall was right outside my door, gaping at me. I eyed her suspiciously and slammed my door shut.

Ah, it's nice to be home.

omg, where should I start...
at first I thought this whole "maki sleeping with yossi" thing was some kind of misunderstanding... not only because yossie didn't remember it, but because maki never got the chance to confirm it properly... but once miki and yossi started fighting because of it, I thought that maybe I was wrong and they did sleep together...
but when I saw that this new chapter was going to be Maki's pov I got surprised... cause everything was going to be revealed! and well, it did...  :)
nice to see maki is such a nice friend after all, I didn't like the fact that she kinda abused yossi while she was drunk... I knew she wouldn't disappoint me... :D
(and jealous miki sure is scary... I wonder why she ran off at the end... probably to apologize and explain everything to yossi, or so I hope...)  :yep:

Take that Miki :bangchair:

and take that Yossy   :kickass:


I mean honestly! all this craziness from assumptions. The only good thing about this is that they now they know how each would react if ever a situation like this would happen.

Yossy sees miki cheating... she'll drink her misery out and probably live out the rest of her life having sex with random H!P members just to fill in the void left by Miki.

Miki finds out Yossy is cheating she'll enter a chronic depression and most likely slip into agoraphobia.


Highlights of the CH:


Goto got choked HELL YEAH :lock:

Miki was a badass :knee:

Like Grisours said, despite figuring nothing happened at first, I think my opinion changed as it went on as well.
And now I don't know how to take this :( I guess its kinda like the Aya thing for Miki, where Yossy should have trusted Miki, and Miki should have done the same here. BUT Yossy actually told Miki that she slept with the sexy goddess so how is Miki suppose to think anything different... If I was Miki I would feel so guilty for the problems between her and Yossy, but yet not know why I'm the one feeling guilty.... WOOOOOOW this chapter has made me all  :dizzy: :dunno: coz I'm not sure how to take it  :lol:

I think I might be too engrossed in this fic  :oops:

Oh and Maki is so cute  :wub:
and angry Miki is still so sexy  :drool:
Next Chapter please :D

EDIT:
The only good thing about this is that they now they know how each would react if ever a situation like this would happen.
The other good thing is that if they ever doubted how much the other loved them, they certainly won't now... It really shows them both how much they love each other and how much they really really need one another... Good things come out of everything bad ;)

Well, THIS will certainly be interesting.  :shocked:




Quote
I found myself pinned against the wall with a hand around my throat. I coughed, trying to choke out a coherent word and gazed into the eyes of one royally pissed off Fujimoto Miki.

"Mi..." I coughed. "What..."

"You have five seconds to give me a good reason not to beat the shit out of you," Miki said in a low, calm voice. My eyes widened.

"But - "

"And if you think I'm joking, keep in mind that I pretty much have nothing to lose at this point."
No nonsense, no preamble, no BS.

...

That's our Miki-sama. :yep:  Am I totally messed up if I think this seethingly-violent Miki is hot?



Quote
"What are you freaking out about?" I asked, trying to get my bearings. She leaned her head back and laughed.

"Me? Oh, just this." She dangled a piece of paper in front of my eyes. I took it from her and read it.

"Ok..." I said slowly. "First of all, how did you get a hold of this. No, wait. First, how the hell did you get in my apartment. Second, how did you get a hold of this. And third, why don't you ask Yossy?
Ummm...Maki, shouldn't you be more concerned with why that note has her so freaked out instead of the whole keys thing?



Quote
"Your spare keys, swiped it from Yocchan's purse, and she doesn't remember a damn thing." She ticked the items off like she was making a grocery list.

"What?!" My jaw dropped. "She doesn't remember anything?!" I grabbed the note and read it again. I started laughing; I couldn't help it. "Oh my God, I... I know I shouldn't write things when I'm mostly asleep, but I didn't realize she wouldn't remember... Oh wow, no wonder you want to kill me!" My hysterical laughter quickly turned into a coughing fit.
Probably shouldn't be laughing so much when pissed-off Miki's right there, on the verge of seriously doing some damage.  :O



Quote
"I ran into Yossy at the bar down the street. She was drunk. Almost falling over on her ass drunk. I've never seen anyone that smashed and I've gone out with Yuuchan and Kei."
Yuko --> (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/cheers.gif) <-- Kemeko



Quote
"She kind of, well, puked on the way here, she reeked of alcohol, and honestly, I was a little scared to let her go to sleep like that."

...

I threw her drunk ass in the shower to sober up a little. She kept laughing and almost fell over, so I had to kind of, well, go in there to keep her steady." Miki raised an eyebrow. "I was fully clothed!" I protested. "Anyway, I managed to get a T-shirt on her before sending her to bed."
That must've been a LOT of some hella nasty/messy puke. (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/crazy.gif)




Quote
"What about this 'trouble walking' bullshit?" she demanded. I pointed at my living room.

"See that coffee table?"

"Yeah."

"She fell over that twice. She rammed into just about everything in here, actually. I'd be shocked if she wasn't completely covered in bruises the next day."
She fell over her coffee table? Ouch...literally.



Quote
"Wait... so, you really didn't violate my Yocchan?"
:mon cute:



Quote
"Seriously? Look me in the eye." I laughed and looked her straight in the eye.

"I have never had sex with Yoshizawa Hitomi," I said seriously.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!  :banana:



Quote
"Oh my Gah."
SHE SAID YOSSI'S PHRASE!!!  :w00t:



Quote
"Geez, Miki, you must have a pretty low opinion of me," I laughed. "What kind of person would have slept with their ex like that?" I sighed and turned around.

Miki was nowhere to be found and my front door was wide open.
RUN MIKI! RUN!!! FIND YOSSI!!! TELL HER THE GOOD NEWS AND THEN DRAG HER INTO THE FIRST CLOSET YOU CAN FIND!!!

at first I thought this whole "maki sleeping with yossi" thing was some kind of misunderstanding... not only because yossie didn't remember it, but because maki never got the chance to confirm it properly... but once miki and yossi started fighting because of it, I thought that maybe I was wrong and they did sleep together...
:wahaha:

GO MIKITTY! FIND YOUR WOMAN! THROW HER IN THE FLOOR AND TAKE HER WHEREVER SHE ISSSSSSS!

Take that Miki :bangchair:

and take that Yossy   :kickass:
WTF! o.O;;


The only good thing about this is that they now they know how each would react if ever a situation like this would happen.

Yossy sees miki cheating... she'll drink her misery out and probably live out the rest of her life having sex with random H!P members just to fill in the void left by Miki.

Miki finds out Yossy is cheating she'll enter a chronic depression and most likely slip into agoraphobia.
Yossy and Miki were both in the process of working through that, though. The first reaction is always the most severe, and then as time goes by, you slowly return back to yourself.

If I was Miki I would feel so guilty for the problems between her and Yossy, but yet not know why I'm the one feeling guilty.... WOOOOOOW this chapter has made me all  :dizzy: :dunno: coz I'm not sure how to take it  :lol:

PART 18
MIKI - AUGUST 28TH

I've always been pretty good at sports. And, as a slightly competitive person, I do like to win. So, I tend to give my all when I'm in a race or playing futsal or whatnot.

However.

I have never in my life run as fast as I did that day. I didn't even bother with a cab. I just took off. Late August heat be damned.

I guess when I threw the apartment door open, I must have looked... a bit odd.

"Miki!" Yossy exclaimed, jumping off the couch as I slammed the door shut behind me. "Oh my Gah, are you ok!?"

"Yes! The! You! She!" I managed to blurt out. Whoa, headrush. I bent over and closed my eyes, pressing my hands against my knees, panting heavily. A soft hand touched my cheek. My eyes flew open.

Yossy was kneeling on the floor in front of me, looking up at me in concern. She looked a little scared as she caressed my cheek gently.

"Breathe, ok?" she said quietly. "Slowly. Deep breath in, deep breath out..." I smiled sheepishly and complied. She pushed back some of the sweaty hair stuck to my forehead. "Do you need some water?" I looked into her worried eyes and smiled.

Yossy audibly yelped as I tackled her to the ground and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around me, returning my kiss and holding me close. I almost melted into her as my mind screamed I LOVE YOU over and over again. God, I'd missed this. I knew her brain was going to catch up with her body in a moment, but I was savoring this as long as it lasted.

Sure enough, after a few seconds, she jerked as though startled and pushed me away. She stared at me incredulously.

"Miki, are you ok?" she said slowly. I sat up and straddled her hips.

"You never slept with Maki," I replied, grinning from ear to ear. She blinked.

"Ok, I know we both wish that was true, but - "

"No, you're not listening to me," I laughed and cupped her precious face in my hands. "I just left her apartment. You never slept together." She stared at me.

"...what?" I kissed her confused forehead.

"You, my darling, did not have sex with Goto Maki," I replied. "You were drunk, yes. You were briefly naked, yes. But you didn't do a thing."

"You're not making sense. Maki's back in town?" She grabbed my wrist, halting my hand's attempt to wander onto her chest. I sighed.

"Goto found you drunk. She helped you to her apartment. You puked. She threw your hot little ass in the shower to clean off. She put you to bed. The end."

"Ok, I really want to believe that," she sighed. "But, you were at her apartment?"

"Yep. Oh, by the way, I accidentally swiped the spare keys she gave you," I grinned.

"Why am I not surprised," she muttered.

"So, yeah, I was in her apartment when she came home," I laughed, leaning down to kiss each and every mole on her face.

"Were you possibly threatening her when she told you this?" Yossy asked. I sat back up and looked at her carefully.

"Why don't you want to believe this?"

"It's not that!" she sighed. "God, trust me, I want to believe this more than anything. But I don't want to hurt you again. I'm just... I don't know."

"Scared?" She looked away. I ran my fingers through her hair. "Yocchan, she looked me straight in the eye and told me you'd never slept together."

"Really?"

"Really."

She stared at me in silence for a moment. Then she started to laugh.

"I didn't sleep with Maki," she laughed.

"You didn't sleep with Maki," I grinned.

"I didn't cheat on you!"

"Not even a little!"

We both stared at each other, grinning like idiots. I was still grinning when she reached her hands up, tangled her fingers in my hair, and brought my lips to hers. She kissed me over and over again, pressing my body against hers, clinging to me like she was afraid I was going to disappear.

I'd love to say that she romantically lifted me into her arms and carried me into the bedroom, but I'm not gonna lie.

We never made it out of the entryway.

yey, make up chapter! I guess everybody was expecting this... after all the misunderstanding drama, they finally discover they can get back together... just how it should be! (but if all of this didn't happen, the story wouldn't have any drama, so... :roll:)

You know it's rabu-rabu when the first thing out of her mouth is her concern for YOUR well-being.  Then again with these two the rabu-rabu part of it was never in doubt.  :wub:

In a nutshell that's it. Unfortunately, Yossi's not quite following because Miki's kind of rushing through it.

Well, she has her reasons. (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/eyebrow.gif)

PART 19
YOSSY - AUGUST 29TH

I was jerked from the middle of a dream I couldn't remember by the sound of Miki's voice asking me to kiss her, softly kiss her. To hold her, tightly hold her. ...Infinite oh my dream!?

I blinked, disoriented, before I realized she still was fast asleep and it was just my ringtone. Miki snuggled into my arms a bit as I leaned over to grab my phone.

"Hello?" I said quietly, even though Miki can, and has, slept through a Koharu spaz fest in the dressing room.

"Yossy?" I leaned over and peered at the clock on my bedside table. Why the hell was Aya calling me at three in the morning?

"Everything ok?" I asked.

"Well... I didn't want to worry you, but..." she sighed. I sat up, making Miki grumble in her sleep and roll away from me.

"What happened?" I asked, concerned. My mind racing, trying to think of what could have happened that Aya would be calling me of all people.

"I can't find Miki. She's not answering her phone and... Yossy, she never came home tonight."

"Actually, she did," I smiled softly and fondly looked over at the sleeping figure next to me.

"...what?"

"Sorry, I didn't think to call you. Miki's with me." Miki grumbled again and rolled over towards me, flopping her arm across my lap.

"Oh, thank God," Aya sighed with relief. She paused for a moment. "OH! Sorry! Did I, ah, interrupt something?" She laughed lecherously.

"Aya, you perv. No, we were both asleep," I laughed.

"Suuuuuuure."

"We were!" I protested. Well, now at least. Two hours ago, not so much.

"So, Miki's forgiven you and it's all shiny rainbows and I can go back to not having to keep an endless supply of Rocky Road on hand?"

"It's even better," I grinned. "There was nothing to be forgiven."

"...what?"

"Miki talked to Maki. We didn't do anything."

"You didn't do anything," she repeated.

"Not a thing!" I said triumphantly. "I was just falling over drunk and Maki didn't think I'd block out the whole night, so she was just being funny in her note."

"..."

"Aya, you still there?"

"Yoshizawa, you are such a retard," Aya sighed.

"What?! Why?"

"You almost ruined your entire relationship over something that didn't happen."

"...shut up. I thought it did," I muttered.

"Yeah, next time be sure about something before blowing up my Tan's entire world, ok?"

"Sorry," I said meekly. I paused. "Thanks, Aya."

"Huh? For what?"

"Taking care of Miki like that. I know it must be hard for you 'cause of... well..."

"DAMMIT! What part of we're not talking about that anymore do you people not understand!?" she laughed. "Geez, it's just a stupid crush on your hot ass. I'm not swooning at the very mention of your name or anything."

"Still... thank you."

"Yeah, just stop being so freaking suave and let me get over you so I can get laid, ok?" I leaned my head back and laughed. Suddenly, a hand reached up and took the phone from me.

"Aya?" Miki mumbled into the phone. "...ok, yeah, don't care. I've had quite a work out, if you catch my drift, so Miki sleep now. Bye." She flipped my phone shut, threw it onto the bedside table, and possessively dragged me back down next to her like a toddler with her favorite stuffed animal. "Sleepy," she murmured, snuggling into my arms.

"I love you," I smiled.

"SLEEPY!" she grumbled, smacking her hand over my mouth. I grinned and settled down into the pillows. "Love you too," I heard her mutter as I fell back asleep.

Back when I was a manager, I gave one of my employees the day off and covered his shift for him.
Jose: Thanks Jen! You're the man!
Me: ...
Jose: Er, the woman! Or the -
Me: Go home, Jose.
Jose: Yeah.

Quote
I was jerked from the middle of a dream I couldn't remember by the sound of Miki's voice asking me to kiss her, softly kiss her. To hold her, tightly hold her. ...Infinite oh my dream!?

I blinked, disoriented, before I realized she still was fast asleep and it was just my ringtone.
Yossi's ringtone is a recording of Miki's voice asking her to hold and kiss her?

...

That's just badass.  O0

EDIT: OMGASS I JUST FIGURED IT OUT!!! YOSSI'S RINGTONE IS MIKI'S 2ND SINGLE Sotto Kuchizukete Gyutto Dakishimete!!! :banana:



Quote
"Hello?" I said quietly, even though Miki can, and has, slept through a Koharu spaz fest in the dressing room.
/me flashes back to the HM@ episode where Koharu spazzes when she finds out the Chinese mystery dessert is made of frog meat.

She slept though something like that? Daaaaayum.  :lol:



Quote
"Yossy?" I leaned over and peered at the clock on my bedside table. Why the hell was Aya calling me at three in the morning?

...

"I can't find Miki. She's not answering her phone and... Yossy, she never came home tonight."
Oops. Aya doesn't know about the whole "finding out Yossi didn't really sleep with Maki" and the whole YoMiki making up *cough* SEX *cough* session.



Quote
"Sorry, I didn't think to call you. Miki's with me." Miki grumbled again and rolled over towards me, flopping her arm across my lap.
We talk a lot about how Miki sleeps like a log, but Yossi must be a pretty deep sleeper herself. Considering how Miki's infamous for tossing and turning like crazy and unconsciously doing who knows what while she sleeps, it's impressive that Yossi's as rested as she is. :hee:



Quote
"Oh, thank God," Aya sighed with relief. She paused for a moment. "OH! Sorry! Did I, ah, interrupt something?" She laughed lecherously.
Nah, Aya's a little late for that.

Aya = :twisted:



Quote
"So, Miki's forgiven you and it's all shiny rainbows and I can go back to not having to keep an endless supply of Rocky Road on hand?"
Well...maybe not an ENDLESS supply. But, come on, it's teh awesomeness that is fuckin' ROCKY ROAD! :rockon:



Quote
"There was nothing to be forgiven."
...

"I was just falling over drunk and Maki didn't think I'd block out the whole night, so she was just being funny in her note."

"..."

"Aya, you still there?"

"Yoshizawa, you are such a retard," Aya sighed.
Aya = (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/facepalm.gif)



Quote
"You almost ruined your entire relationship over something that didn't happen."

"...shut up. I thought it did," I muttered.

"Yeah, next time be sure about something before blowing up my Tan's entire world, ok?"

"Sorry," I said meekly.
Aya does have a point when you think about it. I mean, considering how that night was such a blur for her, Yossi probably should have tried to contact Maki herself to find out FOR SURE what had happened. Maki knew that Yossi and Miki were dating, and considering how they're still good friends after having dated themselves when they were younger, one would think that Maki would have the decency to not take advantage of a super-drunk Yossi like that.



Quote
"Thanks, Aya."

"Huh? For what?"

"Taking care of Miki like that.
It's what best friends do.  :yep: :heart:



Quote
I know it must be hard for you 'cause of... well..."

"DAMMIT! What part of we're not talking about that anymore do you people not understand!?" she laughed. "Geez, it's just a stupid crush on your hot ass. I'm not swooning at the very mention of your name or anything."
If she WAS swooning, Miki would probably kill her, best friend or not (particularly now since the whole almost breaking up thing will probably make her even more "possessive"...in a good way...of Yossi's hot :pimp: ass).  :roll:



Quote
"Still... thank you."

"Yeah, just stop being so freaking suave and let me get over you so I can get laid, ok?" I leaned my head back and laughed.
For the record, I'd totally volunteer for this.  :hump:

But yeah, Yossi should just get Miki invite her over already so she can join in and get it over with!  :ondick:




Quote
Suddenly, a hand reached up and took the phone from me.

"Aya?" Miki mumbled into the phone. "...ok, yeah, don't care. I've had quite a work out, if you catch my drift, so Miki sleep now. Bye." She flipped my phone shut, threw it onto the bedside table, and possessively dragged me back down next to her like a toddler with her favorite stuffed animal. "Sleepy," she murmured, snuggling into my arms.

"I love you," I smiled.

"SLEEPY!" she grumbled, smacking her hand over my mouth. I grinned and settled down into the pillows. "Love you too," I heard her mutter as I fell back asleep.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SLEEPY MIKI!!!

Ok I really need to start commenting when i read the chapter the first time, not wait for over a day before doing so. I'll just have to do the dot point thing again  :oops:
* Oh my, Sleepy Miki is just so  :wub: its beyond words... I want one of them, I must remember to add that to my Christmas list!
* Aya is just like the bestest buddy Miki (or anyone) could ever ask for, awww. She was so worried and caring and like a true friend she is putting her feelings totally to the side to make sure everyone else is happy (and coz no one, not even the sexy goddess herself, can break up our YoMiki). And now she gets the Rocky Road all to herself and I'm sure she is use to being told off by Sleepy Miki by now.

"Yeah, next time be sure about something before blowing up my Tan's entire world, ok?"
Awww, Aya that made me love you even more... such a sweet thing to say. :)

"Yeah, just stop being so freaking suave and let me get over you so I can get laid, ok?"
I certainly know someone who would travel to Japan on foot if he could do this for her, but i am sure he isn't the only one :lol:

I KNOW 2344 but not where it was :( its the same source of 1444 yorika (or ishiyoshi) amirite? yes i am. partialy

PART 20
MAKI - JULY 2002

I still remember that meeting.

To this day, I can still feel the draft coming in from the window on the left side, see the fluorescent light bulb trying to flicker back to life in the corner, hear the words echoing in my head.

"Unacceptable"

"A bad example for the younger members"

"Must stop immediately"

"Graduation"

I can still feel myself smiling politely, nodding, apologizing. I walked out of the room and told no one.

I'm still not sure why. Maybe a small part of me thought that if I didn't say anything, it wouldn't really happen. Maybe I just wanted to pretend for a little bit longer that nothing would change. Maybe I was just a coward.

We managed to meet up a week or so later at my place. I said nothing, choosing instead to lose myself in her kisses. I wanted to forget everything else. I just wanted to forget everything. Even just for a moment. I wanted nothing else to matter but the two of us in that moment. I didn't even notice she was being more aggressive than normal until I felt her hand slip into my jeans and her fingers gently slide along under the waistband of my panties. I stiffened in surprise and pulled away from her.

"Yossy?"

"I want you," she said quietly, her eyes dark and serious. My cheeks began to burn and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. She leaned down and kissed me again. My mind racing, I gently pushed her away and sat up.

"Yocchan, I... " I looked away from her so she couldn't see my face. "I don't think I'm ready yet," I lied. I was ready. I wanted her so badly it hurt. But... if I had her like that, if I was able to be with her like that... I'd never be able to let go.

I'm still not sure if it's the smartest or stupidest thing I've ever done.

"Ah well, it was worth a try," she laughed. I looked up and she grinned at me. Shit. I had to tell her. Right now. "So, what do you want to do then? Movie?"

"We can still make out," I laughed, trying to stall as I mustered up the courage.

"Mmm, yeah, not a good idea right now," she replied. "I'd probably jump you, so... movie?" Her eyes sparkled as she smiled sheepishly at me. I lost my nerve and just nodded in agreement.



About two weeks later, I decided I was finally going to tell her. Tonight. No putting it off again, no falling prey to those eyes, no distractions. I looked at myself in the dressing room mirror and nodded. You can do it, Maki.

The dressing room door opened and I glanced behind me. Yossy was leaning against the door with her eyes closed.

"Hey!" I said happily, turning around in my chair.

She opened her eyes and looked at me. Her eyes were ice cold, angry, hurt. I almost physically flinched as her stare bore right into me. I couldn't take it anymore and looked down at my lap.

"You've heard," I said softly.

"Yes," she said sharply. I bit my lip.

"I'm sorry."

"Were you planning on telling me?" she demanded. Without looking up, I turned my head away from her.

"I knew I had to, but I just..." I trailed off helplessly.

"Yeah," she snorted.

"I - "

"So when's the happy day?" she cut me off, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "When do I get to stand in front of thousands of screaming fanboys and proclaim happily 'Gocchin! Congratulatioooons!!'?" I looked up at her sadly.

"Don't be like this," I said quietly.

"Like what? Do you really think that we can sneak around with you off on your own tours? How often do we see Nakazawa anymore? A handful of TV tapings and the group concerts? You can't sustain a relationship on that, can you?" she snapped.

Of course not, I wanted to scream, that was the whole point. But what can you do? What can I do?

I didn't say anything.

"How long have you known?" she asked finally.

"...a month," I admitted.

"A MONTH!?" she practically screamed. There was a knock at the door.

"Goto! 20 minutes!" a stagehand called in. I sighed.

"Can't we talk about this later?" I asked, standing up to grab the hat for my costume.

"Couldn't we talk about this before?" she snapped.

"I didn't want to hurt you."

"Uh, too late?" she rolled her eyes. I'd never seen her like this before.

"Why are you so angry at me? This isn't my decision!" I protested, trying to fight back the tears threatening to fall.

"I know,"she sighed. "Just... tell me honestly. Is there any chance of this still working out when we can't ever see each other? Is there?"

I looked away from her, looked all around the room, anything to avoid those pleading eyes. I wanted to grab her hands and tell her of course, we could work through anything. But... it's not like defying management would get us anywhere except fired. Wasn't it better to end this now, cleanly, before even stronger feelings got into the mix? ...before anyone fell in love?

"Ok," Yossy spoke so suddenly, I jumped a little. "If you could, um, go through your apartment and find my things, and I'll do the same, and, um... yeah..." She spun around and left the room.

"I'm so sorry..." I whispered as the door shut. I sank down into my chair and knew.

It was too late. I was already in love.

I think Maki is more of a weakness for me then Miki so hearing how she must have been hurting for so many years just coz that damn Yossy makes everyone fall inlove with her makes me all sad  :mon waterworks:
And she rejected Yossy  :shocked: who does that? :lol:

So now that's Miki, Aya and Maki (?), almond and my mother all currently charmed by Yossy... Poor Miki has some tough competition :P

I'm still not sure if it's the smartest or stupidest thing I've ever done.
Ho.....ly.  :stunned:

It's possible to say that it was a little of both. It was a smart move on Maki's part because, like she said, if they had gone through with it, it would have made the whole inevitable break-up that much harder to do.  Problem was, Yossi didn't know about it, at least not at that time (which was the stupid move on Maki's part).  While it's understandable that she wouldn't want to mention it to Yossi so that she wouldn't be as torn as Maki was about having to do it, it wasn't right to leave her uninformed. A relationship is made of two halves, after all. What affects one, affects the other just as much.

About two weeks later, I decided I was finally going to tell her. Tonight. No putting it off again, no falling prey to those eyes, no distractions. I looked at myself in the dressing room mirror and nodded. You can do it, Maki.
/me hears a song lyric in his head: "breaking up is hard to do..."

So the reason why it was so long before Yossi knew was simply because Maki was too scared to tell her...:cry:

Oshit. :O



Quote
"Why are you so angry at me? This isn't my decision!" I protested, trying to fight back the tears threatening to fall.

"I know,"she sighed.
This is the part of it that sucks the most. The fact that it wasn't HER decision to end things. If that was the case, sure Yossi would have been hurt, but she wouldn't have felt so...betrayed by Maki.



Quote
Wasn't it better to end this now, cleanly, before even stronger feelings got into the mix? ...before anyone fell in love?
Who knows, they might have been too late to stop that.

This damn CH. looks do damn familiar to me >.<... you've written something in reference to this scene before right?
I haven't gone to reread Memoir again but I think that's where I've seen this scene before... atleast the second half of it... cuz the whole making out hands under the waistband was new to me  :shocked: :twisted:

If i were to pick who in my opinion is more compatible with Yossy between Maki and Miki... Maki would win hands down. They both have this black sheep aura to them but Miki's rough around the edges (Kinda ghetto ^_^'') while Goto has the sleek attitude about her (upper eastside kid who knows how to get down and dirty in a classy way). But the biggest difference between maki and miki (in this fic) is the Miki's not a coward and Maki is spineless.

Bro, Miki threw away her damn career and position in H!P for Yossy while Maki "had no choice" *rolls eyes*. Truth be told Maki didn't pick the wrong choice... Yossy or career... which ever she chose was good and nothing can be held against her... but in the end the only one with a broken heart in this Fic is Maki... who'll have to live the rest of life asking her self "what if?".

Aya on the other hand.... :inlove: I loves my Aya in this fic... she'll be fine no matter what. Let met think of who i would want Aya to end up with...*THINKS THINKS THINKS* as 1444 shipper and would like to Rika get some in this fic sooo... maybe some Matsuishi? XD

*looks at time* It's way past my bed time today. Have fun... where ever your going!

...hi  :sweat:

I'm not dead! XD Sorry, I had a lot of personal stuff come up suddenly and I haven't gotten any writing done. I won't name names in order to protect the (not so) innocent, but it's all good stuff. :love:

Anyway, I still have part 21 finished, but I'm working on part 22 and trying to slow down a bit in the writing of it. I noticed that lately I've been posting parts as soon as they're done and later regretting it because I want to change things.

I do have a couple of one-shots done that I may post later. One of them I wrote on the plane coming back from my vacation ^^v

...holy crap, the smileys have exploded!  :gmon bang:

I back! With new chaptar!

But first, the comments reply~

Quick question..this has to do with her leaving right? Although I'm sure it is..
No comment.

You make me feel so bad about Gocchin and her always being the black sheep when it came to Yossy and then you have the nerve to drop the bad news casually??
Because I'm good like that? XD

So now that's Miki, Aya and Maki (?), almond and my mother all currently charmed by Yossy... Poor Miki has some tough competition :P
:on lol:

I can't believe your leaving us hanging for over a week!
Yeah, it ended up being more like 3 weeks... sorry  :sweat:

great. Almond's pulling a MakiGoto on us and leaving for Korea while we go and pull our innards apart as we fret and cry and eat tons of RockyRoad.
:gmon twirl:

Ho.....ly.  :stunned:

It's possible to say that it was a little of both. It was a smart move on Maki's part because, like she said, if they had gone through with it, it would have made the whole inevitable break-up that much harder to do.  Problem was, Yossi didn't know about it, at least not at that time (which was the stupid move on Maki's part).  While it's understandable that she wouldn't want to mention it to Yossi so that she wouldn't be as torn as Maki was about having to do it, it wasn't right to leave her uninformed. A relationship is made of two halves, after all. What affects one, affects the other just as much.

Exactly. Maki needed to get over herself and tell Yossy what was going on. But... if she had, YoMiki might not have gotten together, so...  :muffin:

Quote
I sank down into my chair and knew.

It was too late. I was already in love.
Fuck I knew it.  :gyaaah:
:gmon bang:

Quote
Would this be a good time to mention that I'm going out of town on Thursday and won't be back until late on the 29th? *ducks*
Not really, but since you did it anyway...

/me hucks an empty tissue box at where almond used to be.
:gmon fry:

oh man... the more chapters I read, the more I feel sorry for Maki and Aya... I really hope they find someone to be with as the story progresses!
so... keep it up!  :)
:otomerika:

This damn CH. looks do damn familiar to me >.<... you've written something in reference to this scene before right?
That's because the end is Maki's POV of memoir part 3-I.
Bro, Miki threw away her damn career and position in H!P for Yossy while Maki "had no choice" *rolls eyes*. Truth be told Maki didn't pick the wrong choice... Yossy or career... which ever she chose was good and nothing can be held against her... but in the end the only one with a broken heart in this Fic is Maki... who'll have to live the rest of life asking her self "what if?".
:bingo: Bingo

Aya on the other hand.... :inlove: I loves my Aya in this fic... she'll be fine no matter what. Let met think of who i would want Aya to end up with...*THINKS THINKS THINKS* as 1444 shipper and would like to Rika get some in this fic sooo... maybe some Matsuishi? XD
Matsuishi? Rikaya? Ayika? Ishitsuura? XD

For some reason I thought Maki and Yossie actually went the whole way. I guess Miki is Yossie's first.
Nope. Yossy's said a couple times in the fic that Miki was her first.

Maki and Yossy were young at that time and I feel bad for both of them. :cry:  I applaud Maki for doing the right thing so they don't become even more closer but the part where she made the decision not to tell Yossy about what really happened was so sad. :bleed eyes:
Yeah, I was still all superangst there XD



OK! PART 21!

PART 21
MIKI - SEPTEMBER 1ST

Love.

It's a wonderful thing. It makes you beautiful, it makes you strong, it makes you giddy, it makes you insane. It distracts you from everything else around you, focusing you on nothing but that one glorious person.

Well, until you wake up with a temperature of 38.5 degrees Celsius and your girlfriend is in the bathroom throwing up.

I groaned and rolled into the fetal position, grasping for my phone.

"Hello?"

"Ayaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," I whined. Yossy stumbled out of the bathroom and collapsed into bed next to me. She wrapped her arms around me and laid her burning forehead on my shoulder.

"Tan?"

"Aya, I'm siiiick, come take care of meeee," I complained.

"Don't you have Yossy for that now?" she grumbled.

"She's sick too," I replied. Yossy nodded against my back. "We got some sort of late-summer flu."

"Mikitty, I can come over this afternoon, but I have work right now, ok? I gotta go." she said sympathetically.

"Okaaay, bye." I hung up the phone.

"Well?" Yossy mumbled into my shirt.

"No good. She's..." My eyes widened and I flew out of bed, running for the bathroom.

A few minutes and a good toothbrushing later, I stumbled back into Yossy's waiting arms and collapsed on top of her. She kissed my head and I groaned miserably into her chest.

"Ayaka's on her way over," she mumbled.

"I love her," I replied.

"Seriously."

"...Yocchan?"

"hmm?"

"Does she have keys?"

"Oh, dammit," Yossy groaned. Just then there came a loud knock on the front door.

Neither one of us moved.

"I puked last," I said finally.

"You're on top," she retorted.

"Dammit," I cursed, dragging myself out of bed. "Next time, you're on top, Yoshizawa!" I yelled as I stumbled over to the door and threw it open.

"Good to know." My jaw dropped. "Damn, Fujimoto, you look like hell."

"Honey," I called over my shoulder. "Did you order a dried up old yankee?"

"Huh!?" Yossy replied, sounding extremely tired.

"Funny," Nakazawa said, brushing passed me and sauntering into our living room. I shut the door and turned around to see Yossy stumbling out of the bedroom. She glanced over and saw Nakazawa. I stifled back a laugh as I saw her entire body tense as she immediately straightened up.

"N-nakazawa!" she stammered. "What brings you here?"

"The hell, did the two of you do nothing the past two days but have sex? You need to stop periodically for food and sleep, you know." I started laughing, but that quickly turned into a coughing fit. I miserably shuffled over and leaned my head against Yossy's back.

"We're sick," Yossy replied, reaching back and putting my arms around her waist.

"...Sick?" Nakazawa stepped back a little. "As in.."

"Puking," I supplied helpfully. She raised an eyebrow.

"Right. I'll just be not breathing your air then."

"What are you doing here anyway?" I grumbled into Yossy's shirt. We watched as Nakazawa wandered into our kitchen.

"Can I help you with something, Nakazawa?" Yossy asked. I bit back a laugh at how tense her body still was.

"Don't you have any good sake?" Nakazawa complained, her head inside our fridge.

"I, uh, dumped out all the liquor," Yossy replied sheepishly. "I'm not planning on drinking again for a while."

"Yocchaaaaaan~!" I squealed, squeezing her tightly. I wanted to kiss her so much, but it hurt too much to move.

"Miki, please don't make me puke again," she muttered. I released my grip on her.

"Sorry."

"You... you dumped... you WHAT?!" Nakazawa slammed the fridge door shut and stalked back over to us. "Why? Why would you do that? Why?"

"Oh shit, you made her mad," I whispered to Yossy. Yossy just laughed. It was really strange - the angrier Nakazawa got, the calmer Yossy became.

"Yoshizawa!" Nakazawa barked. "What are the ten commandments of Nakazawa?!" Yossy sighed dramatically.

"There is no other Yuko but Nakazawa Yuko."

"Right!"

"Not a single drop of alcohol shall ever go to waste."

"WHICH YOU BROKE! Next!"

"All hail chicken breasts!" Yossy deadpanned. I started laughing.

"Shut up, Fujimoto! Next!"

"Listen to your Leader."

"And?"

"The only Leader is Nakazawa."

"Good girl."

"What the hell, am I your dog?" Yossy retorted.

"Don't piss me off kid," Nakazawa snapped. "Next." Yossy grinned.

"Mi. Da. Ra-ah~" Yocchan sang. I gave up and just sat on the floor laughing.

"You always did do that line justice. Next!"

"Beer is nourishment," Yossy replied.

"Excellent! And!" Nakazawa all but yelled.

"Sake is too."

"This is insane!" I exclaimed from my spot on the floor.

"This is Nakazawa!" Nakazawa proclaimed. "Number 9, Yoshizawa!"

"Don't mess with my cute little Yaguchi."

"Still true! And finally?"

"Nakazawa knows everything," Yossy finished.

"And don't you forget it!" Nakazawa said triumphantly.

"What are you all doing?" The three of us turned to see Ayaka gaping at us from the doorway.

"Ayaka, fantastic timing," Yossy said. "I was just about to go puke. Excuse me." She stepped around me and swiftly walked into the bathroom, firmly shutting the door behind her.

"And I was just leaving," Nakazawa added. She stepped around the confused Ayaka and waved to me. "Feel better."

"Why did she come by anyway..." I muttered as Ayaka shut the door behind the crazy leader of Hello! Project.

"Miki, why are you on the floor?" Ayaka asked, turning back to me.

"Originally, I was laughing," I explained. "Now I'm too dizzy to move." Ayaka groaned and helped me up off the floor.

"Back to bed with you," she ordered, half carrying me into the bedroom.

"You're such a nice mommy," I grinned.

"Who's a what?" Yossy asked, stumbling out of the bathroom.

"You. Bed. Now," Ayaka ordered.

"Yes ma'am," Yossy said meekly, shuffling over to get into bed.

"Now, you two get some sleep."

"SUCH A NICE MOMMY!" I squealed. Yossy giggled. Ayaka ignored me.

"And if I hear anything that so much resembles anything pervy, one of you is sleeping on the couch, got it?"

"YES, MOMMY!" we exclaimed in unison.

"I'm going to pretend you're both just feverish and ignore that," Ayaka stated before walking out of the room and shutting the door behind her.

Yossy wrapped her arms around me and rested her lips on my shoulder.

"That was kinda fun, but I feel like crap," she muttered into my skin.

"I know," I sighed.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Kabutomushi."

Yeeeeeey new chapter!  :mon fyeah:
And a very funny and cute one at that! The Nakazawa appearance was really random, and got me thinking that maybe she wanted to talk with Yossie in private but changed her mind, or something like that. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it, lol.
Ayaka IS such a nice mommy! But I want to see Ayaya taking care of them. It's going to be a little awkward, isn't it? Cause she stills like Yossie and all... Now I really wanna see Ayaya/someone and Goto/someone...
I'm glad you're back, keep it up with the good chapters!  :yep:

I find it very interesting that you have the ability to make a sick and puking YoMiki still seem so adorable, cute and smexy, that's talent right there  :gmon bang:

<QUESTION TIME!>
1. I need an explination on why Yossy becomes clamer when Yuko-sama gets all  :gmon pissed: :mon fire: :scolding: ?
As stated by Miki... tis strange.


2. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, what in the world inspired you to come up with that? One of the funniest things i've ever read in a fic. EVER! Makes me wanna PHOTOSHOP them and blow up as big as a poster and put it on my wall. Now that would be a great conversation piece!

3.Mond, what is it with you and capturing Miki's and Nakazawa's personality so well on paper hmmmm? *insert dark almond emoticon*

</question time>

Ayaka and Ayaya <3 <3 <3 I agree with JFC... an encounter between the two is a MUST. Infact the NAKAZAWA orders you too.

For some odd reason what Nakazawa did to Yossy sounds like something my father would make me do in public... wait, :sweatdrop: he has made me do something somewhat similiar to that in public. =_= damn dad.

PART 22
YOSSY - SEPTEMBER 3RD

I jerked awake and glanced around. Miki was sitting up in bed next to me reading a book.

"Did you say something?" I asked.

"Hmm? No, why?" She didn't even glance up from her book. I shook my head.

"Must have just been a dream," I replied. I leaned back onto the pillows and closed my eyes, trying to remember.

"You asleep?" I opened my eyes and looked up at her.

"Nope, why?" Miki grinned and put her book down on the bedside table.

"I was just thinking..." she said slyly, running her hand up my leg.

"Miki, we're sick."

"Not THAT sick," she retorted. I sighed.

"Mikiiii."

"Hitomiiii." I almost fell over in shock at Miki suddenly using my first name. She took advantage of my surprised state and rolled herself on top of me.

"Fujimoto Miki! What are you doing!" a voice snapped from the doorway.

"Busted," Miki muttered, flopping back onto the mattress and pulling the covers up over her head.

"Tan," Aya continued, leaning against the doorway. "If you don't behave, you're sleeping out here on the couch."

"Meh meh meh sleeping on the couch," Miki mocked softly in a high-pitched voice. I coughed to hide my laughter. Aya glared at us.

"Sleep!" she ordered, spinning around and slamming the door behind her. Miki peeked out from under the covers.

"Damn, she needs to get laid," she muttered.

"Miki!" I exclaimed.

"No, seriously. It's been years," she shook her head. I stared at Miki in horror.

"Why? Why did I need to know  that? Why!?" I exclaimed. Miki laughed.

"It's true though - she really needs to get out more."

"Mikiii," I sighed and shook my head. She didn't say anything for a few minutes, so I rolled over to go back to sleep. Suddenly, Miki sat bolt upright next to me.

"OH MY GAH!!" she exclaimed. I sat up and looked at her in alarm.

"What!? What's wrong!?" I asked. She turned to me and grabbed my hands in hers.

"We should totally set them up!"

"Set who up? What are you talking about? Did your fever come back?" I debated bellowing for Aya.

"No no no!" Miki started laughing in that evil way she has. She dropped my hands and rubbed hers together with a grin on her face. "We're gonna get my beloved Ayaya laid."

"...Miki, what are you plotting?"

"Hmm?" she said innocently as she reached over to grab her cell phone.

"Mikiiiii... who are you calling?"

"No one~" she sang as she dialed her phone.

"Miki!"

"Shh! It's ringing!.... Hiiii, it's Fujimoto Miki!"

I groaned and flopped back into bed, pulling the covers over my head and resigning myself to my girlfriend's insane plotting.

Nooooooooooooo!!!!  :pleeease:
I need to know who Miki's setting up Aya with! I'm extremely curious right now!
and poor Aya, taking care of a sick Miki and Yossy and having to watch them together...
I still feel bad about that! :(
that's why I hope Miki sets her up with a nice person (so that she can get laid, also)  :roll:
cute/funny chapter, as usual!!!  :lol:

I jerked awake and glanced around. Miki was sitting up in bed next to me reading a book.

"Did you say something?" I asked.

"Hmm? No, why?" She didn't even glance up from her book. I shook my head.
Hmmm...what book is our dear Miki-sama reading? :twisted:




Quote
"Mikiiii."

"Hitomiiii." I almost fell over in shock at Miki suddenly using my first name.
Gotta admit, I did a double-take myself at this part. :O



Quote
"Fujimoto Miki! What are you doing!" a voice snapped from the doorway.

"Busted," Miki muttered, flopping back onto the mattress and pulling the covers up over her head.

"Tan," Aya continued, leaning against the doorway. "If you don't behave, you're sleeping out here on the couch."
EEP! STRICT AYAYA! :o


...


That's actually pretty hot. ;D



Quote
"Meh meh meh sleeping on the couch," Miki mocked softly in a high-pitched voice. I coughed to hide my laughter.
:on lol:




Quote
"Damn, she needs to get laid," she muttered.

"Miki!" I exclaimed.

"No, seriously. It's been years," she shook her head. I stared at Miki in horror.

"Why? Why did I need to know  that? Why!?" I exclaimed. Miki laughed.

"It's true though - she really needs to get out more."
Well, Aya herself sort of admitted that to Yossi a few chapters back.  :lol:




Quote
"OH MY GAH!!" she exclaimed. I sat up and looked at her in alarm.

"What!? What's wrong!?" I asked. She turned to me and grabbed my hands in hers.

"We should totally set them up!"

EH???  :hip blink:

What exactly does "set them up" mean here? Does Miki already have someone in mind for Aya? (if so, damn that was fast)

MIKI CALLING:

Who Miki is calling i have no idea!  :D

AYAYAY HOOK UP WITH:

If i had to bet with who Ayaya might get hooked up with... i'd say someone we're totally not expecting.

Who i want... RIKA DUH!

but if not Rika... Goto sounds like a good choice.. but i want Goto to have that sad happy melancholic feeling to her. You know that feeling you get when you know you totally screwed up but have come to terms with it and moved on... but you'll never quiet get over it because it affected you so much.

So i wouldnt Ayaya with someone who i want to "not quiet get over" yossy.

My third choice would be Ayaka! but i gotta agree that would be a hard coupling to write about... at least for me.

Looks like the only one sick right now is Yossy... and when Miki said they should set them up I think in Ayaka only for a second because then Maki comes to my mind... I totally agree with that
When poets said Rika... yeah... I thinks there's a possibility and for the way Miki was talking in the phone it could be Rika

It's Miki. She's always plotting something. It's just a matter of whether or not she shares with the class.

PART 23
AYA - SEPTEMBER 4TH

I groaned and looked down at my watch. Five more minutes. The girl had five more minutes.

"Ma'am, are you ready to order?" I glanced up at the waiter and smiled politely.

"Not just yet," I replied. "My companion's freshening up." He nodded knowingly and vanished back amongst the tables. I sighed and propped my chin up with my right hand. How the hell did Miki talk me into this anyway?

Oh, that's right. She guilt tripped me.

"The poor thing hasn't been out since that horrible break up. And, well... we both know you're not getting any, so I figured..." I could still see Miki's fake-innocent look. Ugh.

"Aya?" I glanced up in surprise at the figure standing next to my table, looking at me curiously.

"Hey! What are you doing here?" I asked. Goto grinned and flopped down in the chair across from me.

"Oh, I was just meeting Yossy down the street to give back her clothes."

"To give... What!?" I stared at her incredulously. Goto started laughing.

"It's not what you think!"

"I hope not! I'm still Mikitty's best friend after all!" I grinned.

"I know that!" she laughed and shook her head. "She puked on her clothes the night she got drunk and - "

"And then ran around like an idiot saying you'd slept together?" I offered.

"Exactly," Goto sighed and rolled her eyes. "Yeah, that was fun to deal with when I got home." She leaned conspiratorially across the table towards me. "Did you know your precious Mikitty was lying in wait for me when I got to my apartment?"

"What!?" I exclaimed, leaning in towards her. "How in the world did she get in?"

"She stole my spare keys from Yossy!"

"Oh my God, you're JOKING!" I looked her over. "And you're still walking?"

"She pinned me to the wall with her hand around my neck." My jaw dropped.

"That girl is crazy," I sighed. I glanced around the restaurant and leaned in even closer. "Speaking of that, you'll never guess why I'm here."

"She wants to get Friday'd again?"

"No," I laughed. "Miki set me up on the weirdest date ever."

"Date?!" Maki exclaimed, leaning back in her chair. She grinned. "Hmm... who's the lucky girl?"

"Trust me, you don't want to know," I groaned. I glanced over her shoulder. "Ugh, she's coming back."

"Hmm, guess I'll make myself scarce then," She stood up from her chair and paused thoughtfully. "You know... I don't have anything to do right now, so I think I'll just have a drink."

"Huh?"

"So, if a former Gomattou and Nochiura Natsumi member maybe needs some rescuing from a bad date... she could always send me a secret text message..." Goto winked and sauntered off towards the bar. I grinned after her as my... date came up to me and smiled.

"Sorry I took so long! I just couldn't tear myself away from the mirror!" Michishige flashed me a grin and sat down across from me.

"That's ok," I smiled weakly and sipped my water.

"Where was I? Oh! That's right!" Sayumi took a quick gulp of water. "So, I said to Eri, 'I don't know what you're talking about! JunJun and I are just friends!' and she says to me 'Then why was your hand on her butt after filming?!'. I mean, honestly!" She sighed dramatically. "Then I pointed out that Yoshizawa lets Fujimoto do it all the time and Eri said 'But Sayu, you're not Fujimoto' and I replied 'No, I'm much cuter.'"

"Right," I murmured as I discreetly slipped my phone out of my pocket.

"But you know all about that, Matsuura! You used to be almost as cute as I am!" She smiled sweetly.

"Aya! Thank God!!" Sayumi and I looked up as Goto rushed over to our table. Goto faltered a bit when she caught sight of Sayumi. "Uh... right. Aya, I locked myself out of my apartment. Do you still have my spare key?"

"Your... oh! Yeah! Of course. It's at my place, though." I lied smoothly.

"Oh, great. Can we go get it now? Sorry, but I have an appointment pretty soon..."

"Oh, ok." I turned to Sayumi and smiled apologetically. "Sorry, but duty calls."

"Oh, that's ok. It must be painful to look at someone as cute as me for so long anyway." Goto started coughing loudly as I smiled weakly and stood up. I could hear Sayumi chattering on her cell phone as we made our way out.

"MICHISHIGE!?" Goto practically screamed with laughter as we walked down the street.

"I KNOW!" I exclaimed, cracking up. She threw her arm up to hail a cab. "I don't know what in the world Tan was thinking."

"'I like to grope. Sayu likes to grope. Aya likes me. Aya will like Sayu.'?" Goto guessed as a cab pulled up. I shook my head. She smiled and opened the cab door for me.

"Did you want to share a cab?" I asked.

"Oh, I just live down the street. Have a nice evening, Aya." Goto winked.

"Thanks for rescuing me."

"Anytime," she grinned, shutting the door behind me.

Such a fabulously amusing chapter! :D My favourite parts would have to be:

"Aya! Thank God!!" Sayumi and I looked up as Goto rushed over to our table. Goto faltered a bit when she caught sight of Sayumi. "Uh... right.
Too funny!  :rofl: I love Maki's hesitation and disbelief. She recovered quickly though.

"I don't know what in the world Tan was thinking."

"'I like to grope. Sayu likes to grope. Aya likes me. Aya will like Sayu.'?" Goto guessed as a cab pulled up.
I love Maki's logic. :wahaha: It's my kind of logic.

But really, it makes me question Miki's sanity, setting Aya up with Sayu... XD Maybe she was too delirious from being sick... Or maybe her master plan was for Maki to swoop in and save the day. She could have asked Hitomi to get Maki to deliver the clothes right by the restaurant, so that Maki would happen to run into Aya and be her knight in shining armour.  :nya: Well... That's what I'm hoping the plan was, 'cause Aya x Sayu is just so  :dizzy:

Can't wait for the next chapter. :)

This line : "'But Sayu, you're not Fujimoto' and I replied 'No, I'm much cuter.'" is pure DARK SHIGE win! <3<3<3<3<3

Maki's reason on why Miki chose Sayu is completely and utterly believable! I want a detailed depiction of Maki's opinion on Miki!!!!!!!!!! We all know Miki's  :gmon pissed:


~*~*~*~*~

It seems miki is following the recipe of love. If you have seen Amelie (BEST FREAKING FEEL GOOD MOVIE EVER! <3<3<3<3.... fave foreign film  :) ) according to the Cafe owner the Recipe for love is.

Take two regulars (Maki and Aya)
Mix them together (they're currently being mixed)
and let them stew. (we'll see how our author lets them stew  :twisted: )

OMG I was so surprised when Sayu sat down, I love how Maki was shocked too, but kept going. Oh that's awesome. I'm still laughing.
:gmon bang:

"Aya! Thank God!!" Sayumi and I looked up as Goto rushed over to our table. Goto faltered a bit when she caught sight of Sayumi. "Uh... right.
Too funny!  :rofl: I love Maki's hesitation and disbelief. She recovered quickly though.
Maki =  :mon closeup:

FRIDAY HEADLINES: MIKITTY DUMPS COMEDIAN FOR AYAYA! WOTAS REJOICE!
Wota = :mon blood:

Whoa wait a sec...Miki set up Aya on a date with someone other than Maki? :? Then, who's had the "awful breakup"?

PART 24
MAKI - MARCH 2006

After that, I focused on my career and nothing else. I shut all thoughts of her away from me. I avoided her whenever possible.

Looking back, I don't know what I was thinking. Shoving all of my emotions aside like that... like they didn't matter, like none of it had ever mattered... I had almost convinced even myself.

I guess I was just young and stupid.


We were sitting on the field near each other, waiting for the pep talk to start. She glanced over and caught my eye and smiled. I smiled back before gazing off into the distance.

"Hey," Yossy hissed, scooting over next to me and leaning in conspiratorially.

"What?" I whispered back. She glanced over her shoulder quickly.

"Is it just me or is Kei not wearing any underwear again?" I clapped my hand over my mouth to keep from bursting into laughter. I casually looked over at Kei.

"Oh my God, you're RIGHT!" I hissed.

"Oh my gah, remember when she went commando during that Utaban taping?" Yossy snickered under her breath.

"What?! No!"

"You didn't know about that!? Oh man... that was so wrong. I never wanted to see that much Yasuda." Yossy shuddered a little.

"You DIDN'T!"

"I didn't have any choice! It was RIGHT THERE!" she protested. I just shook my head. We fell into a comfortable silence. "So..."

"Yeah?" I looked over at her.

"How've you been?" She smiled easily. I blinked and had to force myself not to do a double-take. When in the world had she become so beautiful? Yossy'd always been pretty but... well... kind of a pretty boy. Now she looked just... wow.

"Good!" I replied a little louder than I meant to. "Busy! You know how it is..."

"Yeah, I really do," she laughed. "I have a new respect for Kaorin."

"Just her?"

"Well, Nakazawa is already - "

"Yossy, are you STILL scared of her?" I laughed.

"Shut up," she grumbled.

"Seriously! She's a real sweetheart underneath that sharp-tongued exterior," I explained. Yossy laughed softly and looked away from me into the crowd of members. "You okay?"

"Yeah... yeah, I was just thinking of something," she shook her head and grinned. "Never mind."

"OKAY, KIDDIES, LISTEN UP! IT'S TIME FOR THE DAMN SPORTS FESTIVAL, OK?" Nakazawa bellowed. Yossy and I both snapped to attention.

Yuko might be a sweetheart underneath it all, but that doesn't mean she's not damn scary.


I grinned as I walked out of the arena, humming "Suki Sugite Baka Mitai" to myself. I headed through the parking lot, swinging my purse back and forth in time with the tune.

What a great day. My team didn't win, but I had a blast and I hadn't talked to Yossy that much since...

I paused and bit my lip.

I'd missed her. I'd missed talking to her, joking with her, being around her... being with her. But it was too late. I had my chance once and now...

I looked up. Her car was right in front of me.

A slow smile spread across my face. I turned on my heel and walked back towards the building. My footsteps echoed in the deserted halls as I made my way back towards the hopeful light of the locker room.

I cautiously peeked my head around the door.

Yossy was leaning against the lockers. She was already changed, wearing jeans and a ratty old band t-shirt. She glanced down at her watch and then looked straight ahead again.

I started to head inside, but something stopped me. Something seemed a little off...

"Sorry," a voice called from the showers.

"It's about time! Everyone else already left!" Yossy mock-scolded.

"I know," Miki grinned, stepping into my line of sight. Her wet hair was slicked back and she was wearing only a towel as she advanced.

Yossy's eyes traveled lazily over Miki's exposed skin, a slow grin spreading across her face.

"Like what you see?" Miki asked, pushing her body against Yossy's.

"You know I do," Yossy replied in a low voice. Miki laughed and dropped her towel.

I turned and fled.

Did I really think she had just been waiting for me? That her overtures of friendship meant she wanted to be with me again? That a girl like her comes along more than once?

I guess I'm just young and stupid.

Well, having to go through something as emotionally intense as what they went through isn't exactly easy, you know.  To be honest, I'd be more surprised if there wasn't any awkwardness between the two of them for a while.

Not really. Just someone who obviously still had strong feelings for "the one that got away".  When you consider the circumstances of their breakup, it wouldn't be at all surprising if somewhere in her mind, even if she wouldn't admit it to herself, Maki probably hoped for the day to come that she and Yossi would get a second chance.  Just because she broke up with Yossi didn't mean that she didn't still have raburabu for her. :yep:

Seeing that Yossi had moved on...yeah...just go ahead and watch that knife twist away.  :pen_cry:

PART 25
MAKI - SEPTEMBER 5TH

You don't get to where I am without learning a few things. Like never mention the word "album" around Maeda Yuki. And if you walk into a bar and see Yasuda Kei sitting alone at a table, turn around and walk right out or you'll never escape.

Oh! And never ever call Saitou Hitomi dowdy... too bad Miyoshi Chinatsu had to learn that the hard way...

But most importantly, if you walk into a room and Nakazawa Yuko grins and waves you over, you're screwed.

I sighed and resigned myself to my fate.

"Nakazawa! What a nice surprise!" I lied through my grinning teeth as I walked over and sat down across the table from her.

"Don't lie, Maki, you're terrible at it," she replied. "I need to talk to you."

"Ma'am, yes, ma'am!" I exclaimed, saluting.

"Don't make me hurt you," Nakazawa shot back.

"Sorry."

"Gocchin, I'm afraid I've been thinking,"

"A dangerous pastime," I half-sang.

"I know." Nakazawa paused, realized what we'd just said, and glared at me.

"Sorry," I apologized again.

"You need to get laid."

"What!?" I exclaimed. "Are you drunk!?"

"A little, but that's not the point. The point is that the insane Yossy fiasco made me realize something."

"That Yoshizawa Hitomi has a perverted mind and overactive imagination?" I asked.

"Besides that!" Yuko sighed and leaned back in her chair. "Maki, when's the last time you even kissed someone?" I bit my lip and looked away. "Exactly," Yuko continued. "I mean, there are 17 gay or bi women in Hello! Project! Just pick one!"

"Yuuchan!"

"And that's not even COUNTING the Eggs or any of the jailbait!" she continued. "And I think I know why you can't get a date."

"Oh really."

"You suck at flirting," she said simply.

"What!?" I exclaimed.

"Now don't get defensive! It's true."

"And what, you're going to teach me? Why are you being so nice?" I looked at her suspiciously.

"Because I've had just enough to drink to be pleasant. Now..." she trailed off as her cell phone rang. "Ok, I've got to get this, but YOU are going to flirt with and pick up the next girl that comes in here."

"But - !"

"And you better do it before the pleasantness wears off. Got it?" she snapped before flipping open her cell phone. "Hellooo?" she said sweetly. I glanced around the empty cafeteria, hoping everyone was at some big rehearsal I didn't know about.

The door swung open. My heart skipped a beat.

The sunlight streaming through the hallway windows backlit the curvy figure. Clutching a can of iced tea, she ran her fingers through her short hair and glanced around before striding confidently over to the first table and sitting down. The door swung shut, cutting off the source of fierce afternoon sun, finally giving me a clear look at my apparent target.

I almost fell over in sheer relief.

Winking at Nakazawa, who was now yelling at someone on the phone, I got up from my chair and sauntered over to the other table. She glanced up at me and set her tea down on the table.

"Hey!"

"I need a huge favor," I grinned flirtatiously, sitting down across from the idol's idol.

"Well, I definitely owe you one," Aya smiled back. "What's up?"

"Nakazawa demanded that I pick up the next woman who walked in here," I replied, reaching out and touching her arm. Aya looked down at my hand on her arm and then back up at my smirking lips and pleading eyes.

"Do you always do everything Nakazawa tells you to?" she smiled shyly and looked away.

"When she's being disturbingly nice, yes," I replied, leaning closer. "Thank you so much."

"Yeah, yeah," she looked down at the table before glancing up at me. "So, why is your former leader making you hit on people?"

"Why is your best friend setting you up on blind dates with a barely-legal narcissist?" I retorted, raising an eyebrow. Aya leaned her head back and laughed just as my cell phone vibrated in my pocket. I reached down and pulled it out.

"youll need to do better than that
aya likes the charmers
yuko"

I glanced over my shoulder at Nakazawa, who simply raised her mysterious looking "water" bottle at me in a toast.

"What?" Aya asked, trying to grab my phone from me. I whisked it out of her hands, wagged my finger at her playfully, and shoved the phone back in my pocket.

"Yuuchan just told me that I need to try harder because you like charmers," I explained, reaching across the table to tuck a stray piece of hair behind Aya's ear. Aya glanced away and flushed a little. I raised an eyebrow. "Hmm? Is there someone I should know about?"

"No!" Aya sighed and shook her head. "God, why won't everyone just leave it the hell alone?"

"What's wrong?" I asked, dropping all pretenses and looking at her in concern.

"Nothing." She wouldn't meet my gaze.

"Oh, don't give me that." I reached out and touched her chin, turning her face back towards me. "What's wrong?"

"I have - had - a stupid little crush on someone. And then Miki, and I guess Nakazawa, found out about it and now everyone's blowing it out of proportion, acting like I'm in love. And I keep telling them it's just a crush and I'll get over it and please stop mentioning it, but..." she sighed.

My mind was whirling. Charmer. Crush. Miki found out instead of being told.

Bingo.

"You got Yossy'd!" I laughed.

"Oh, like you're one to talk," she snapped.

"True," I admitted, leaning back in my chair.

"And you're proof that you CAN get over Ms Yoshizawa, no matter what these crazies think, right?" she continued, rolling her eyes a little.

"When did this happen anyway?" I asked, ignoring the question.

"Oh, last year sometime. When she kissed me."

"When she WHAT?" I sat bolt upright.

"Yossy walked in on me and Miki rehearsing the Melodies kiss and, well..."

"Oh my God, tell me you did not have a threesome with - "

"WHAT!? NO!" Aya looked horrified and amused. "Miki was being an ass about it, so Yossy kissed me right there as revenge."

"Man, they're weird..." I muttered.

"You have no idea. She grabbed me and... It was... well, I probably don't have to tell you." Aya giggled.

"Wait. She didn't Mr Moonlight you, did she?"

"Huh?"

"Come here," I said, standing up. Aya looked a bit confused, but stood up and walked over to me. I grabbed Aya by the waist and pulled her to me before dipping her backwards and leaning into her.

"Um..."

"Did she do this?" I asked, my face only centimeters from hers. Wow, I never noticed she has a mole on her upper lip before...

"Pretty much, yeah," she confirmed, her face turning pink. I set her back upright and shook my head.

"Stealing my moves," I grumbled, flopping back down in my chair.

"What?"

"I used to do that to her as a joke back when she, Abe, and I were vying for the lead in Mr Moonlight," I complained.

"Huh..." Aya shook her head a little.

"Are you ok?" I asked.

"Yeah... sorry, I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'm a little distracted," she replied.

"Leaving? Oh! That's right, your Hawaii thing."

"Yeah... I really need to finish packing, so, I guess I'll talk to you later," Aya stood up to leave.

"But Nakazawa..." I turned around to find the cafeteria empty.

"Oh, she got bored and left when you were in the middle of, uh, Mr Moonlight-ing me," she explained. I laughed sheepishly.

"I'm sorry. Did that make you uncomfortable?" I glanced away. "Sometimes I don't know what gets in to me these days..."

"What? No, not uncomfortable... not at all..." she trailed off thoughtfully. "Oh well. See you around, Maki." She turned and sauntered out.

It might have been my imagination, but I swear she was swinging her hips a little more as she walked. At any rate, I was somehow mesmerized by them. She paused in the door way and turned around.

"Good thing she didn't tell you to sleep with the next girl who came in, huh?" she winked and pushed the door open, blinding me again with the bright sunlight.

"Right, good thing..." I muttered, grabbing her abandoned iced tea off the table and downing it in one gulp.

"Pretty much, yeah," she confirmed, her face turning pink.
BTW, Maki's STILL flirting here! :yep:



Quote
"Stealing my moves," I grumbled, flopping back down in my chair.

"What?"

"I used to do that to her as a joke back when she, Abe, and I were vying for the lead in Mr Moonlight," I complained.
Huh. Go figure.

Yossi obviously recognizes a good thing when she sees it.  8)




Quote
"Huh..." Aya shook her head a little.

"Are you ok?" I asked.

"Yeah... sorry, I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'm a little distracted," she replied.

"Leaving? Oh! That's right, your Hawaii thing."
Yeah...distracted by her Hawaii trip with Miki...riiiiiiiiight.  :shy1:



Quote
"But Nakazawa..." I turned around to find the cafeteria empty.

"Oh, she got bored and left when you were in the middle of, uh, Mr Moonlight-ing me," she explained. I laughed sheepishly.

"I'm sorry. Did that make you uncomfortable?" I glanced away. "Sometimes I don't know what gets in to me these days..."

"What? No, not uncomfortable... not at all..." she trailed off thoughtfully.
K, hopefully Maki's not as dense as Yossi is when it comes to reading "signals"  Aya could have told her as soon as Yuko left that she could stop, but she didn't. Aya let her go on.....:angry:



Quote
"Oh well. See you around, Maki." She turned and sauntered out.

It might have been my imagination, but I swear she was swinging her hips a little more as she walked. At any rate, I was somehow mesmerized by them. She paused in the door way and turned around.

"Good thing she didn't tell you to sleep with the next girl who came in, huh?" she winked and pushed the door open, blinding me again with the bright sunlight.
Aw hell...Aya's flirting back!!!  :shakeit:

'scuse please... :jerk: :jerk: :jerk: :jerk: :jerk:



Quote
"Right, good thing..." I muttered, grabbing her abandoned iced tea off the table and downing it in one gulp.
SHE DRANK THE REST OF AYA'S TEA!!! :banana:



EDIT: How the hell could I have not commented on this?
Quote
"Yossy walked in on me and Miki rehearsing the Melodies kiss and, well..."

"Oh my God, tell me you did not have a threesome with - "

"WHAT!? NO!" Aya looked horrified and amused.
Oh, the fantasies, the possibilities.
:wahaha:

The Moment you read "Nakazawa" in a Almond ch. You know! it's gonna be a good ass chapter!

Quote
"Do you always do everything Nakazawa tells you to?" she smiled shyly and looked away.

"When she's being disturbingly nice, yes," I replied, leaning closer.

Laiyah!(read: Liar)... every one does what Nakazawa wants, even Miki.

And awww Cafeteria Nakazawa reminds me of those short stories you would write were Miki became Naka's apprentice <3, but that's another time another story XD.

Mayaki interaction... always so smooth. In all honesty Maki's so much more smoother than Yossy  :lol:. You know what it always reminds me of... 007 seven movies where James Bond (Maki) flirts with the smart witty female spy of the movie (Aya), even when they argue the sparks fly.  It's one of those things that makes you giggle and want them to JUST HOOK UP ALREADY! cause if not the anticipation will kill you.

Through out this whole scene we see Maki's thoughts pretty clearly... but i'm curious as to how Aya took it in... i mean she did leave with her hips swaying a bit more <3.

and bejebus Maki! You just INDIRECTLY KISSED AYAYA!! XD

NAKAZAWA AGAIN HALARIAS :on lol: me wants more Yuko-sama, like, at least one each chapter prz.
I swear I wrote the next chapter before reading this  :lol:
YAY! Can we keep her, pls?  :farofflook:
never mention the word "album" around Maeda Yuki.
  :on lol:

Quote
But most importantly, if you walk into a room and Nakazawa Yuko grins and waves you over, you're screwed.
HERE WE GO  :nya:
Quote
"Gocchin, I'm afraid I've been thinking,"
(...)
"You need to get laid."
:on lol: Gold, I tell you! Nakazawa knows all it's useless to try to hide/never mention/try to forget, she NEVER FORGETS
Quote
"And that's not even COUNTING the Eggs or any of the jailbait!"
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL [invisible] :drool:[/invisible]

Quote
"I need a huge favor," I grinned flirtatiously, sitting down across from the idol's idol.

"Well, I definitely owe you one," Aya smiled back. "What's up?"
Well, that's a start, good thing Maki wasted this favor on this simple thing, it'd be too degrading if she asked for it in another time... ................ say when...................  :ding:

Quote
"Nakazawa demanded that I pick up the next woman who walked in here,"
That's right  :bingo:
Quote
"Yeah, yeah," she looked down at the table before glancing up at me. "So, why is your former leader making you hit on people?"

"Why is your best friend setting you up on blind dates with a barely-legal narcissist?"
Maki 1 X 0 Ayaya
Quote

"You got Yossy'd!" I laughed.

"Oh, like you're one to talk," she snapped.
Maki 1 X 1 Ayaya :pimp:
Quote
"And you're proof that you CAN get over Ms Yoshizawa, no matter what these crazies think, right?"
Can you? :wahaha: Maki certainly isn't the one to tell... YET.

"Oh my God, tell me you did not have a threesome with - "

"Wait. She didn't Mr Moonlight you, did she?"

"Huh?"

"Come here," I said, standing up.
Oh here we go :ding:

Aya looked a bit confused, but stood up and walked over to me. I grabbed Aya by the waist and pulled her to me before dipping her backwards and leaning into her.

"Um..."

"Did she do this?" I asked, my face only centimeters from hers. Wow, I never noticed she has a mole on her upper lip before...
It'd be hot if it wasn't so damn cute  :shy1:

"But Nakazawa..." I turned around to find the cafeteria empty.

"Oh, she got bored and left when you were in the middle of, uh, Mr Moonlight-ing me,"
What, she thought her work there was done...

YEAH. RIGHT :roll:

One word: AWESOME!
That chapter kept me glued to the monitor. Yuko's powers amazes me. Maki didn't even put up a good fight with what Yuko wanted her to do or maybe it's just that Maki is willing to do it anyway.
Lol Maki said 'You got Yossy'd!' to Ayaya. xDDD
I guess Ayaya has a little something on Maki.
Gaaah.. Maki just lost a great chance with Ayaya.

Woops was that a hint from Ayaya or what?? and yea.. there goes an indirect kiss!
When I realised that that was the end of the chapter I yelled " Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!" (I really did) I'm getting famous for my huge reactions with my friends xD...

^ No she's not! But she did just spend the entire day laughing @ something we will never talk about! NEVER! and yeah indirect kiss, I thought I'd let someone else call u on that one, I felt kinda guilty for taking the 2nd place from other ppl so I thought Id let some things be said by other people......... Like the fact that u rock and that Im adic Im adicted to u-r fics. SO please update again soon. Do it for the bunnies. The fluffy bunnies that live in agony because people torture them. They torture them to get their kicks. But if a new chapter of your story went up soon then they wouldnt torture them. They would have something else to do (read your story) and they poor bunnies wouldnt have to be afraid that half hour (if theyre slow readers). They might even sleep safely that night. I have an idea. You create a distraction (like maybe a few new chapters in quick succesion) and I will sneak them out! But be quick I dont know how much longer these little guys can last. (reminds me of that time that cult slaughtered all the animals at our school. And I walked to school that day *shiver* next to where they kept the animals *shudder* and no power on the earth can make me finish that story..................Those poor animals :'( ) So lets do it for them! U post and I carry those little balls of cuteness out and I'll even use my body as a human shield for u if I have to! Deal?

"Besides that!" Yuko sighed and leaned back in her chair. "Maki, when's the last time you even kissed someone?" I bit my lip and looked away. "Exactly," Yuko continued. "I mean, there are 17 gay or bi women in Hello! Project! Just pick one!"
I will be expecting to hear the list your perverted mind has thought up :P

What a great length chapter  :w00t: The Maki and Aya flirting is so innocent and yet still so far from actually being innocent, but surely Maki can't be THAT blind and dumb XD Maki and Aya are so sweet together  :mon lovelaff: and they will always have Yossy in common if they run out of things to talk about :hee:

I so totally want this chapter in Aya POV, PLLLLLLLLLLLLLEAAAAAASE!!!!!  :pleeease:

I was gonna say other stuff but as usual, i forgot what  :lol: Although i don't think i got a chance to comment on ur Sayumi date chapter, but WOW, what PURE GENIUS... Classic comedic moment right there  ;)
I'm hoping with the new Maki/Aya scenerio, this fic will have a lot more chapters to come  :gmon twirl:

Wow, I liked this last chapter a lot. I mean, a (almost) drunk Nakazawa appearance, a flirting Maki, a flirting-back Aya and funny Yossi/Miki moments mentioned. I liked everything in it! But I'm also extremely curious about the Aya/Maki situation. They reeeeeeally need to get together! Keep it up!  :grin:

PART 26
YOSSY - SEPTEMBER 5TH

"Oh, come ON, you little piece of..." Miki's mumbled threat was my only warning. I glanced up from my  script just in time to be smacked across the face by a navy blue bikini top.

"Miki, what the hell?" I exclaimed, grabbing the wayward swimsuit piece off of my face and throwing it at my giggling girlfriend.

"I'm sorry! The strap got caught in the drawer!" she laughed, neatly catching the top in her hand and tossing it in the open suitcase by her feet. "It's not my fault it attacked you when I finally pulled it free!"

"And you couldn't open the drawer like a normal person?" I asked with a grin.

"And you can't study your script at a table like a normal person?" she countered, turning back to look at her side of the closet. I sat up from leaning against the pillows on our bed and placed my glasses on the bedside table.

"Can I help it if I like watching your ass?" I asked innocently, rolling onto my stomach and propping myself up on my elbows.

"No, I suppose not," she replied, shaking her butt.

"Hey, Miki?" I said quietly. She turned around, her concerned eyes searching mine.

"Yeah?"

"I'm going to miss you."

"Yocchan..." she sighed and squatted down in front of me, leaning her chin on the edge of the mattress. "You promised..."

"I knoooow," I whined, reaching out and touching her face. "But... I will."

"Excuse me, but, who trotted off to Spain to declare her love for a soccer player?" Miki demanded, raising an eyebrow.

"I knoooow."

"So, don't make me feel guilty for this, ok? You know I'm going to miss you just as much."

"Hmm..."

"'Hmm'?" she repeated, blinking several times.

"I'm just wondering..." I trailed off, looking away.

"Wondering what exactly?" Miki asked, a look of annoyance beginning to color her features. I pushed off on my elbows and tackled my girlfriend to the ground as she shrieked with laughter.

"I was just wondering if I should give you something to miss," I grinned.

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah. Really." I leaned down to kiss her.

Just then someone knocked loudly our front door. I collapsed groaning onto her, burying my face into her hair.

"Oh, you've gotta be kidding me," Miki muttered. I sighed, pushed myself off of her, and stood up, reaching my hand down to help her up.

"We're coming!" I shouted as our guest knocked again.

"Apparently not," Miki muttered, giving me a kiss on the cheek as she wrenched the door open. "What!?" she demanded.

"Where's your cell phone?" Aya snapped, brushing past Miki and marching into our apartment. "Oh, hey, Yossy."

"Uh, hi, Aya..." I replied, looking bewildered as she started rummaging through Miki's purse.

"Aya, what the hell?" Miki exclaimed as Aya pulled the phone out and flipped it open.

"I KNEW IT!" Aya yelled, snapping the phone shut and stalking back over to Miki. "So you get off the phone with me and immediately call a certain Nakazawa who then demands that a certain Goto Maki hit on me?"

"You did what!?" I turned to see Miki avoiding my eye. "Mikiiiii"

"Ok, fine! I'm just trying to get you laid, ok?" Miki sighed. "But, I didn't know she was there with freaking Maki. Ugh."

"...what's wrong with Maki?" Aya asked in an odd voice.

"She got my poor drunk Yocchan naked!" Miki snapped. "Not to mention she slapped me once."

"Miki! It was completely innocent!" I groaned. "I thought we'd gone over this already..."

"We have, but she asked," Miki shrugged.

"That was completely out of line," Aya stated, ignoring the two of us. She shoved the phone at Miki. "Setting me up on dates is one thing. Using innocent people as your pawns is another."

"I wouldn't call Maki innocent," Miki muttered. "Not after the way she treated Yo - "

"Miki!" I glared at her.

"Sorry."

"I don't know what you guys are talking about, but... Miki, don't you ever pull that again, ok?"

"Ok," Miki sighed.

"Ok?!" Aya repeated.

"Ok!!" Miki glared at Aya.

"Good," Aya sighed. "Now, give me a damn hug so I can stop being so pissed and get back to packing!" They both started laughing and hugged.

I just stood there, once again in awe of how truly strange their friendship was. I watched them pull apart and smile. Miki opened the door for Aya and playfully smacked the soloist's butt. She shut the front door and leaned against it.

"I am so good," she grinned. I laughed and shook my head a little, walking towards her.

"That you are," I admitted. She reached out and grabbed my collar, pulling me towards her.

"I am what?" she asked coyly, running her fingers up along the lapel of my shirt before begriming to slowly unbutton it.

"You are..." Coherent thoughts left my brain as she pressed her lips to my neck.

"I'm what?" she murmured into my skin as she began a slow path downwards.

"Absolutely. Fantastic."

oh and sory for the bunnie thing, I was majorly sleep deprived last week (basically everyday lately). Saad story I know. Sory for bringing that up. I just have trouble locking away my imagination, it always breaks loose. Like those people in westerns. You know, how they;re in jail one minute then they break out using a nail file hidden in a cake someone gave them? Sorta like that. Except it's in a bowl of spaghetti... I luv the new chapter! It had YoMiki, sommething we almost forgot about... And Aya's obviously interested in Maki, that chapter just confirmed all my suspicions, because IF Aya didn't care she wouldn't have cared enough to check if it was a setup, she would have just not bothered about it, and gone to pack up. I hope there is sum rabu rabu in Hawaiiii   :wub: :heart:  :muffin:

Thank god Miki and Yossy aren't normal, how bored we all would be if they were, its more fun this way!   XD
Poor Aya, she must have so much going through her head atm: How she really feels for Maki, is Maki just acting on an order from Yuko/Miki or does she really care, what to do with Miki in Hawaii  ;) and hell does she even still feel for Yossy... So much for her to ponder, what a long trip  it will be for her.

Its kinda weird that there isn't more Aya/Maki pairings, I can totally see the chemistry there  :heart:
Mako will be so proud of Miki, coming up with this plan and carrying it through without her help  :P

Poor Yossy, all alone for so long... but wait till Miki gets back  :w00t: (especially if I haven't got a Miki POV by then  :()

Hello! I think this is the first time I've posted in one of your threads. I just spent most of last night and early this morning reading your Memoir trilogy up until your most recent chapter  XD  I have to say, I ADORE how your portray Miki's personality! She's amazing, she's insane, she's just well... she's very Miki!  :wub:  I can't comment on every single chapter I read seeing as how there were.... numerous and my brain is now a little fried from that intense reading, but I can say that I can't wait to see where you'll take Aya and Maki in the following chapters  :grin: Looking forward to the next update!  :lol:

10 bucks says that "something" starts with "Yo-" and ends with "-ssi". :P

Actually, no.

....but it was a hot blonde with lots of moles and a mischievous smile and a wicked sense of humor and.... ok I'll shut up now

Quote
"Oh, come ON, you little piece of..." Miki's mumbled threat was my only warning. I glanced up from my  script just in time to be smacked across the face by a navy blue bikini top.
This one?  I always thought it looked a bit more purple than navy blue, but meh, close enough.  :grin:

Nah, it was just a random color I'd picked. No real life inspiration for once!

Quote
"Aya, what the hell?" Miki exclaimed as Aya pulled the phone out and flipped it open.

"I KNEW IT!" Aya yelled, snapping the phone shut and stalking back over to Miki. "So you get off the phone with me and immediately call a certain Nakazawa who then demands that a certain Goto Maki hit on me?"

"You did what!?" I turned to see Miki avoiding my eye. "Mikiiiii"
Oh shit. :OMG:

Secret's out.
Never underestimate the cute ones. Just because they're smiling doesn't mean they're not plotting against you.  :wahaha:

Quote
"I am so good," she grinned. I laughed and shook my head a little, walking towards her.

"That you are," I admitted.
OH SHIT! That whole bit was an act, wasn't it! Aya thinks she figured out Miki's plan, but really, Miki only let her THINK she did! And even if she didn't, she's still gotten Aya and Maki all thinking about each other in a new (and hopefully hot) sort of way!!!  BRILLIANT!!!
:wahaha:
But how MUCH of it was an act!?  :wahaha:

I missed the Yomiki moments... But the appearance of a new couple (aya and maki) is so interesting too! As you see, I'm divided. I guess I can like both, ne? Keep it up!  :grin:
I'll try my best! My second beta reader :heart: keeps reminding me to not forget about YoMiki.

....

:wub:

DAMMIT, I'VE GOT TO FOCUS!!

Right. Comments.

Now are SayuEri back together or Sayu is still hanging out with junx2?
I'll leave that up to your imagination.... not like you weren't already thinking about it! XD

i love the bikini part. idk about you but i'd be happy to be hit in the face with it~!
I think I'd only be happy to be hit in the face with it if it was being removed.

Thank god Miki and Yossy aren't normal, how bored we all would be if they were, its more fun this way!   XD
So true. I think that about myself, actually. Life would be boring if I was normal.  :gmon bang:

Poor Yossy, all alone for so long... but wait till Miki gets back  :w00t: (especially if I haven't got a Miki POV by then  :()
Again, I wrote the next part loooong before reading this.

Thank God I got on that writing streak for a while... I haven't written a single word in like a month  :sweatdrop:

I think Maki and Aya should hook up. Then everyone would be happy. Plus, maybe Miki will forgive her for the misunderstanding she seems to be holding a grudge about. And Maki and Aya is just tooooo cute!
Always remember. No one knows what Fujimoto Miki is thinking except for Fujimoto Miki.
...and in this case, me. XD

Hello! I think this is the first time I've posted in one of your threads. I just spent most of last night and early this morning reading your Memoir trilogy up until your most recent chapter  XD  I have to say, I ADORE how your portray Miki's personality! She's amazing, she's insane, she's just well... she's very Miki!  :wub:  I can't comment on every single chapter I read seeing as how there were.... numerous and my brain is now a little fried from that intense reading, but I can say that I can't wait to see where you'll take Aya and Maki in the following chapters  :grin: Looking forward to the next update!  :lol:
Wow. Thank you so much!! Hopefully you've recovered from your brain fatigue by now XD

Because here's the next chapter!!

Narrator is.......!

PART 27
MIKI - SEPTEMBER 8TH

"I miss you too," I murmured into the phone. "Only a few more days, ok?"

"FUJIMOTO!" Aya bellowed before slamming my hotel room door open and stomping in, flames practically spewing from her eyes.

"Honey, I gotta go. Aya has a bug up her ass about something again.... ok, I love you too.... bye." I calmly hung up the phone and raised an eyebrow. "May I help you with something, Ms Matsuura?"

"I ran into Yasuda Kei at the bar last night," she replied through gritted teeth.

"Oh, me too! Isn't it funny how she's on vacation in Hawaii at the same time we're here?"

"Hilarious. Now tell me why exactly she thought it was okay to HIT ON ME?!"

"Calm down, Ayaya, you're turning a weird purple color," I replied.

"MIKI!" Aya all but screamed.

"Ok, ok, ok," I sighed dramatically. "I might have possibly, maybe, once mentioned in passing to Kei that you were single and actively looking."

"MIKI!"

"What!? You ARE actively looking!"

"Do you have any idea what it's like to be trapped in a neverending conversation with Yasuda Kei? I never would have gotten out of there if Maki hadn't happened to call me!"

"Wait. Why did Goto Maki call you? What on earth did you two have to talk about?" I asked suspiciously.

"That's beside the point! God, Miki, I'm only actively looking in your insane sex-obsessed brain! There is nothing wrong with being single! NOTHING WRONG. Do you understand that?! I have no problem with it! I am happy in my life right now! I only went out on that first creepy date to shut you up! And I'm not doing it again. Understand!?" Aya glared at me expectantly.

"...you think I'm sex-obsessed?" I said dumbly.

"Is that all you got out of what I just said!?" Aya groaned and flopped face-first onto the bed next to me.

"Pretty much," I replied, flipping around to lie next to her. She turned her head and looked at me.

"Yes, I think you're kind of obsessed with sex," Aya admitted.

"What!? Why?"

"Are you kidding me?" Aya started laughing.

"Don't laugh so much. It's making the bed shake."

"Sorry," she apologized.

"You were saying?"

"Ok, you used to be obsessed with kissing any woman who walked by."

"I did not!" I protested.

"And once you started sleeping with a certain tomboy - "

"A certain sexy as hell tomboy with a body to die for," I interjected.

"Sleeping with a certain sexy as hell tomboy with a body to die for, terribly sorry, you could not get enough of it."

"There's nothing wrong with - "

"AND!" she continued, glaring at me for daring to interrupt. "You can't keep your hands off ANYONE. You grabbed my ass just this morning!"

"That - "

"AND!!! A few months later, you start harassing me about why I'm not having sex. And now that you're not working, getting me laid seems to be your new life mission!"

"...are you done?" I asked.

"For now."

"Ok, I just don't want another glare. Only I can glare." Aya rolled her eyes. "First of all, yes, we did have sex quite a bit, especially at the beginning. Five years of foreplay will do that to you!"

"Oh, please," Aya rolled her eyes.

"AND!" I continued, glaring at her for daring to interrupt. "I was just worried about you! I had found happiness and I wanted my bestest friend to find it too!"

"What about the groping?"

"What can I say. It's what I do," I shrugged.

"Miki, you are obsessed with sex and can barely go a week without it. You only think I need to get laid because you can't stop thinking about it yourself and can't imagine not being able to go at it whenever you please."

"What!?" I stood up and crossed my arms. "That's not true!" Aya flipped over onto her back and laughed.

"Yes. It is."

"No. It's not." I glared at her. She stood up and poked my shoulder.

"Fine. Prove me wrong. You don't get laid until I do."

"What?! But that could be months!" I protested.

"Well, if you want to just admit I'm right..."

"FINE!" I snapped, turning away from her and stalking over to the window.

"Well - "

"BUT!" I whirled back around.

"But?"

"YOU have to go out on every date I set you up on," I challenged. She narrowed her eyes.

"Fine."

"Fine!"

We glared at each other for another minute.

"Well... what do you want for dinner?!" she snapped.

"How about that nice steak restaurant the lady at check-in recommended?" I snapped back.

"Sounds great! I'll see you in 10 minutes." she glared.

"Good!" I glared back at her. She turned and walked away.

"Oh, Mikitty?" she paused by the door and looked at me over her shoulder.

"What?"

"No hard feelings, right?"

"Between us? Never!" I laughed.

"Good. Apologize to Yossy for me," she smiled brilliantly and walked out of my room.

"...Yossy?" I looked over at my abandoned cell phone lying on the bed. "Oh, shit."

-----------------

I must confess.

Originally, I had a completely different chapter written. I didn't really like it, so I hesitantly sent it to my beta. Who is awesome enough to tell me that it was utter crap.  :love:

So I scrapped it, wrote this in about 15 minutes, and it's now one of my favorite chapters. XD

Oh and please do comment - I'm trying to write today and comments keep me going ^^

It said in the starrt that she hung up though..... Oh well. YEY NEW CHAP! I've been sitting here waiting patiently like a good lil puppy for ages :) and all that was rewarded with Mikilarity XD.
 I missed you btw, how come there was no postage going on for so long? Don't you love us anymore? :'(  Don't worry I still wub you! Boy is the next one gonna be funny XD! Unless you take it in the unexpected direction and do a Maki POV where she is reminiscing or something, boy that would be moving a lil backwards but still would be very unexpected. I hope Maki and Aya get together already though, not because I want the fic to end! Of course not! Thats insanity! That's sacriligious! No, merely because I want those two poor unhappy lovesick puppies to be happy!.! I also hope that there is a part IIII (?) with a new pairing! Maybe Yuko *blush* *shyness*...... and who knows, maybe she'll be with Mari or something...... Ha ha, it would be funny if you choose to write about the rejects (so far Michishichishichishichishichishichishichishichsihicshcishi~gah Sayooome, and Yasuda 'K'.)

Uh, just to clear up any confusion... Miki DID hang up with Yossy at the beginning of the chapter. After Aya mentioned Yossy's name, Miki glanced over at the (still disconnected) phone because she had just been talking to Yossy on it.
I thought it was pretty clear, but I guess not... sorry  :sweatdrop:

Aya =  :gmon pissed:

"Oh, me too! Isn't it funny how she's on vacation in Hawaii at the same time we're here?"

WTF.... :stunned:

...

Kemeko???

...

...

...

...

...

WTF?

...

...

That's like, part of Miki's brilliant plan, right? Make Aya think that she's deliberately trying to get her laid by people that she wouldn't normally "click" with, eventually leading her to confide in Maki (who would, to Aya) appear to be the only sane person she knows, which would eventually lead to the two of them hanging out more to avoid "Miki's wacky setups", which would eventually lead to them getting closer, which would eventually lead to MAyaki raburabu?   
:on roll:

"Do you have any idea what it's like to be trapped in a neverending conversation with Yasuda Kei? I never would have gotten out of there if Maki hadn't happened to call me!"

"Wait. Why did Goto Maki call you? What on earth did you two have to talk about?" I asked suspiciously.

God, Miki, I'm only actively looking in your insane sex-obsessed brain! There is nothing wrong with being single! NOTHING WRONG. Do you understand that?! I have no problem with it! I am happy in my life right now! I only went out on that first creepy date to shut you up! And I'm not doing it again. Understand!?" Aya glared at me expectantly.

Groping, yes. Kissing, not as much.  Definitely the groping though. :yep:

"A certain sexy as hell tomboy with a body to die for," I interjected.

"Sleeping with a certain sexy as hell tomboy with a body to die for, terribly sorry, you could not get enough of it."
Not necessarily a bad thing. :D




Quote
"AND!" she continued, glaring at me for daring to interrupt. "You can't keep your hands off ANYONE. You grabbed my ass just this morning!"
Isn't that normal for Miki though? Aya's got such a lucscious bum, and Miki knows it. You'd think Aya'd be used to it by now.  :shakeit:



Quote
"AND!!! A few months later, you start harassing me about why I'm not having sex. And now that you're not working, getting me laid seems to be your new life mission!"
Again, not necessarily a bad thing.  She does, after all, have Aya's happiness in mind here. :pimp:

"But?"

"YOU have to go out on every date I set you up on," I challenged. She narrowed her eyes.

"Fine!"
Well then...ground rules are set. :D

I can totally see Aya milking this just to see Miki (and also Yossi, who will probably end up being kept in the dark about this bet) squirm.  :twisted:



Quote
"No hard feelings, right?"

"Between us? Never!" I laughed.

"Good. Apologize to Yossy for me," she smiled brilliantly and walked out of my room.

"...Yossy?" I looked over at my abandoned cell phone lying on the bed. "Oh, shit."
Oooooooooooooooooh this is gonna be good!   :kekeke:  :hiakhiakhiak:




One thing though...Aya said that Maki just "happened" to call her, did she? She just "happened" to call her long-distance from Japan where there's probably a 4-6 hour time difference and save her from Kemeko's advances?   :grin:

It's like, hero Maki to Aya's rescue! :cool1:

/me predicts future Yossi (if she remains in the dark about the bet) will be something like this:

Am I the only one who feels slightly intimidated to post a response right undernead JFC's  :sweatdrop:....... but NEVER STOP your trademark fanfic posts JFC  :love:

I really  :heart: this chapter  :heart: _ :heart:

It's such a plot mover! And what moves plots... TWISTS! and details.. but twists are so much more fun to come across

We all figured Miki had this awesome fool proof plan up her sleeve... but no-one ever said it was Aya proofed  :twisted: ... Aya's  lil twist "if i'm not getting some you ain't either" was AWESOME! I really really really really wanna see Yossy react to that 

Quote
"Are you kidding me?" Aya started laughing.

"Don't laugh so much. It's making the bed shake."

"Sorry," she apologized.

I really like this part XD... dunno why... i'm guessing it's the authenticity behind it XD.

No, that would be a bad idea. Once I get started, I can ramble for a reeeeeeeeally long time.,  :inlove:

There's a fine line between brilliant plan and barely-controlled insanity.

Isn't that normal for Miki though? Aya's got such a lucscious bum, and Miki knows it. You'd think Aya'd be used to it by now.  :shakeit:
She probably is, and probably enjoys the attention, but damn if that will get in the way of making a point!

PART 28
MAKI - DECEMBER 2006

I threw my bags on the floor and walked swiftly over to my kitchen. I quickly gulped down a glass of water and hit play on my answering machine.

"Makiiiiii, it's Matsuura Aya~! I just realized I went home with the jacket I borrowed from you during rehearsals! It's your turn to take everyone out for drunken karaoke anyway, so I'll bring it to you when you pay up! Bye~!" >CLICK<

I laughed and went to rinse out my glass. Man, that girl was odd. The sudden knock on my front door startled me a bit and I almost dropped the glass on the floor.

"Just a minute!" I called out, turning off the water and setting the glass on the rack to dry. I brushed my hands off on my jeans and walked over to the door, peering through the peephole.

You could have pushed me over with a feather.

"Hey," I said, opening the door. Whoa. Yocchan looked like hell.

"Hey," she said quietly. "Can I come in?"

"Uh, sure!" I opened the door for her. "Excuse the mess. I just got back from a photoshoot," I explained, knowing what a neat freak she can be. She nodded, but I'm still not sure if she really heard what I said. She seemed to be in a daze. Suddenly, she started smiling a little. "Yeah, it's been a while since you've been here, huh?" I laughed awkwardly. She nodded again. Ugh, enough of this. "So, what's wrong?"

Yossy turned and looked at me, completely stunned. Did she really think she was that unreadable?

"Please," I laughed. "You haven't changed THAT much!" She smiled a little and looked down at her feet for a moment.

"I'm graduating in May." My eyes widened. What? Last I heard they were planning on having the next graduation be...

Oh, no. Oh, no, not again.

"Wow, that's weird," I said slowly. "I didn't expect them to graduate you already." I studied her face carefully.

"Yeah, me either," she said quietly. I bit my lip, wondering how to go about this.

"Are you seeing someone?" I asked finally.

"Oh! I'm not trying to - I mean, the reason I came here wasn't to rekindle anything or - " she stammered.

"I know that!" I laughed a bit too loudly. "I just ask because that's part of why they graduated me."

"...what?" She looked like I'd just slapped her.

"Oh, yeah, I guess I never did tell you that. My graduation wasn't supposed to be for another year or so, but somehow they found out about us and, well, sped it up," I shrugged nonchalantly. Her eyes bore into me, her expression unreadable.

"You should have told me."

"Yeah, there are a lot of things I should have done," I said bitterly with a shrug, plopping down on my couch. "It wouldn't have changed anything anyway."

"What should you have done?" she asked, sitting down next to me.

"What do you mean?"

"I just... you screwed up. We both know that. But... I don't know what to do. So, what should you have done? What should I do?" Yossy sighed and ran her hand through her hair.

I sat there for a moment, dumbfounded. After all these years of asking myself that question, I never thought she would ask me it. A tiny voice in the back of my mind piped up, telling me to have Yossy break it off, that way we could finally be together.

I promptly told that little voice to shut the hell up.

"Just tell her," I said finally. "Knowing you, you'll probably try to ease into it, but... just tell her." I laughed a little. "With Miki the way she is, she'll tell you exactly what she thinks. If she wants to work through it or break up or whatever, she'll tell you immediately. I can't really see her giving you up that easily, anyway." She tilted her head.

"Who told you it was Miki?" Crap.

"You can be really dense sometimes, you know that?" I covered smoothly. "Miki's not exactly subtle. She's been staring at you since she got here. Sometimes you couldn't even hold a conversation with that girl when you were in the room."

"Damn, I must have been better than I thought," she muttered. I blinked.

"What?"

"Nothing." She shook her head and sighed. "Just tell her, huh? Do you have any idea how hard that'll be?"

"Just an inkling," I replied sarcastically. She wrinkled up her nose.

"Sorry."

"It's fine. It's ancient history," I lied. "But, uh... you know, if you two do break up, feel free to call me." I grinned flirtatiously.

"Thanks. That means a..." she trailed off as she looked up and met my eye. "You, uh, you don't mean to talk."

"Well, I'm sure some talking would be involved," I replied in a low voice.

"That's it, I'm leaving." She stood up so fast, I couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm just teasing you!" I protested, getting up. "Well, mostly." Yossy threw her hands up in exasperation.

"What is it with people lately? Aya's all but propositioning me every time we meet, Sayumi's hanging all over me calling me her prince, I can't even get onstage without being molested by someone, and I'm pretty damn sure that Takahashi grabbed my ass on purpose during filming the other day." She looked so annoyed.

"Hmm, let's see. You're charming, you're funny, you're a huge flirt, your job requires you to wear skimpy outfits and gyrate around a stage, and, oh yeah, you're infinitely doable."

"'Infinitely doable'?" she repeated incredulously. I touched my chin and looked up thoughtfully.

"Would 'bangable' have been a better word choice?" I asked, walking her to the door. She started laughing.

"We always have the strangest conversations," she commented.

"That's for damn sure." I paused. "Seriously, though, just tell her. If it's meant to be, it'll all work out." And if not...

"Thanks." I opened the door for her.

"No problem." I grinned and smacked her on the ass. "Now go, my flittering pimp, go!" I slammed the door shut and leaned against it.

That's it. I'm done.

I'm sick of this cycle. I'm sick and tired of wanting to be with her, thinking I have a chance, then getting my hopes crushed. I can't take it anymore.

So, I'm done. Goto Maki is done with love. Finished. Over. No more.

I looked around my apartment and suddenly felt very claustrophobic. I had to get out, I had to get away from anything that reminded me of her at all.

I grabbed my cell phone and hurried out the front door. She picked up on the third ring.

"Aya? Hi, it's Goto Maki... Are you busy? I thought I'd come pick up that jacket..."

YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! ITS BEEN SO LOONG :'( THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I LUV YOU SO MUCH RITE NOW! CANT WAIT TO READ IT!


Edit: I read it! It was awesome! it had that special almond flavour that goes great with chocolate. Mmmm chocolate, I think I'll have some after dinner. But I digress, the story was excellent, the characters deep and I liked how different this chapter was. We were slipping into a nice comfortable Maki/Aya pattern here but that changed with the reapearance of Yoshi who came to Maki of all people. The chat seems oddly familiar though, I think I've read it before, unless it was just my imagination or deja vou or something..... But Im sure I've read it before dangit! So, Im thinking another case of deja vou! Its a silent killer that one, and tonight it struck again.....
 I liked how Maki is now turning to Aya as indicated by the last lines. Liking how she is now choosing to spend more time with her, autonomously with lack of a push from an outside force. I like how Aya seems to be getting into it too, and leaving her that message, although she could have flirted a lil more in it. And now Maki and Aya are going to meet up again, yey!!!!!!!!!! But I laughed at the whole Yoshi looking sexy thing, because of the bet. I was rofling at the thought of how it was gonna go down afta she got home (feels great to call where Miki is home  :wub: ) and Miki saw her  :drool:

Yoshi: I'm home  8)
Miki:  :drool:
Yoshi: I have to tell you something  :(
Miki: (thinks BET, BET!!!!!) ............................ :twisted: c'm 'ere and tell me all about it  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

Ten hours later
Yoshi:  :pimp:
Miki:  :shocked: :exhausted smileys all around:

Poor Maki she still loved Yossy and had to watch as the person she loved was hooking up with someone else :cry:


So, I'm done. Goto Maki is done with love. Finished. Over. No more.

Hope Aya will change her mind  XD

Can't wait for Aya and Maki to hook up! If they do the agreement with Aya and Miki will end sooner than expected..  XD But that might bring the end to the story so...  :lol:

So I've actually been reading this story for about a yearish now but on your blog
But I recently ish (hmm I like using ish) joingd this community
so anyways I love your story!!
So excited for the new chapter =]
I really love when Maki narrates
Title: Re: [part 28] memoir III: memory
Post by: sweeety on April 14, 2008, 03:35:22 PM
He/she/it has a point. I luv Maki's narrations too, but if I had to choose Id pick Miki's the best or Yoshi's because their story so far is waaaaay more angsty plus they both have guts. Aya's is allright but it seems watered down compared to the rest of these horny teens. She seems innoceent and virginal. Anyway, I like hers the most now because they are filled with angst. But dont get me wrong, I still love the humoour in all the others, especially if theres Miki involved. But I like seeing hers the most now. Mainly cause the story moves along a lot in hers. But still they are good cause of the angst and all the other pent up anger she has. She seems like she will snap any minute now and kill Tsunku, or at least do soomething to stop him from hurting Yoshi like he hurt her. Anyway, I like the new change in the new central characters. How they are slowly turning into the sweet perverts that are Yuko Hitomi and Miki..... I like how they are slowly getting together. But I dont like maki's declaration. I have a bad feeling I know where this is going. So I hope that my guess is untrue and Maki does not break Aya's heart or use her in any way with no intention of letting herself fall for her. But in the end she will fail and fall, hard. Then when she realises she has fallen for her, then, she will try to get her back..... Thats what I think coz of that line. But I still hope she just forgets about her vow not to fall in love with anyone again and lets herself fall for Aya, and they get together and be happy. Even though I have that bad feeling it wont be that simple. But I can hope can't I?

aww, this chapter was cute and a little sad. Poor Gocchin. But at least Yossy still likes her as a friend, enough to come to her for advice. But YESSS, Maki and Aya!!! Hook up! Hook up!  :lol:

The new chapter was funny, but I do hope Aya cheer Maki up a little... She's getting depressed when it comes to love...  :-\

OMGASS!
/me waves like mad @ almond. :D


Quote
MAKI - DECEMBER 2006
Ah, a flashback chapter.




Quote
I threw my bags on the floor and walked swiftly over to my kitchen. I quickly gulped down a glass of water and hit play on my answering machine.

"Makiiiiii, it's Matsuura Aya~! I just realized I went home with the jacket I borrowed from you during rehearsals! It's your turn to take everyone out for drunken karaoke anyway, so I'll bring it to you when you pay up! Bye~!" >CLICK<
Isn't most, if not all Karaoke in Japan done in a drunken state? :P

Still though, depending on who's there, it'd be fun to see. :)




Quote
"Hey," I said, opening the door. Whoa. Yocchan looked like hell.
Hmmmmm...wonder what this could be? :?




Quote
"I'm graduating in May." My eyes widened. What? Last I heard they were planning on having the next graduation be...
Oooooooooooooooooooh...and she hasn't told Miki yet, has she?



Quote
"Are you seeing someone?" I asked finally.

"Oh! I'm not trying to - I mean, the reason I came here wasn't to rekindle anything or - " she stammered.

"I know that!" I laughed a bit too loudly. "I just ask because that's part of why they graduated me."

"...what?" She looked like I'd just slapped her.

"Oh, yeah, I guess I never did tell you that. My graduation wasn't supposed to be for another year or so, but somehow they found out about us and, well, sped it up," I shrugged nonchalantly.
Guess it was something that Maki didn't want to burden Yossi with, lest she start to blame herself for it getting sped up.




Quote
A tiny voice in the back of my mind piped up, telling me to have Yossy break it off, that way we could finally be together.

I promptly told that little voice to shut the hell up.
Maki knows here that Yossi's with Miki, right? Even if she doesn't, it's obvious that Yossi's involved with someone, and that she's worried about what her graduation might do to affect their relationship.  It's a good move (and undoubtedly a difficult one) for Maki. As much as she'd probably like for "them" to give it another shot, she knows it's not right to sacrifice someone else's happiness for the benefit of her own.




Quote
"Just tell her," I said finally. "Knowing you, you'll probably try to ease into it, but... just tell her." I laughed a little. "With Miki the way she is, she'll tell you exactly what she thinks. If she wants to work through it or break up or whatever, she'll tell you immediately. I can't really see her giving you up that easily, anyway." She tilted her head.

"Who told you it was Miki?" Crap.

"You can be really dense sometimes, you know that?" I covered smoothly. "Miki's not exactly subtle. She's been staring at you since she got here. Sometimes you couldn't even hold a conversation with that girl when you were in the room."
Well, that answers one question.
:mon lol:




Quote
"Damn, I must have been better than I thought," she muttered. I blinked.

"What?"

"Nothing." She shook her head and sighed.
Careful, Maki's gonna get jealous now, thinking about what she might have missed out on. XD  :hump:




Quote
"But, uh... you know, if you two do break up, feel free to call me." I grinned flirtatiously.

"Thanks. That means a..." she trailed off as she looked up and met my eye. "You, uh, you don't mean to talk."

"Well, I'm sure some talking would be involved," I replied in a low voice.

"That's it, I'm leaving." She stood up so fast, I couldn't help but laugh.
Now exactly how much of her is being serious and how much is having fun at Yossi's expense?  :grin:



Quote
"I'm just teasing you!" I protested, getting up. "Well, mostly." Yossy threw her hands up in exasperation.
:rofl:




Quote
"What is it with people lately? Aya's all but propositioning me every time we meet, Sayumi's hanging all over me calling me her prince, I can't even get onstage without being molested by someone, and I'm pretty damn sure that Takahashi grabbed my ass on purpose during filming the other day." She looked so annoyed.

"Hmm, let's see. You're charming, you're funny, you're a huge flirt, your job requires you to wear skimpy outfits and gyrate around a stage, and, oh yeah, you're infinitely doable."
Maki said it best.  :pimp:


It might just be me, but now that I think about it, this sounds a lot like one of your previous chapters.

...

Just sayin...




Quote
I slammed the door shut and leaned against it.

That's it. I'm done.

I'm sick of this cycle. I'm sick and tired of wanting to be with her, thinking I have a chance, then getting my hopes crushed. I can't take it anymore.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww... :cry:



Quote
I had to get out, I had to get away from anything that reminded me of her at all.

I grabbed my cell phone and hurried out the front door. She picked up on the third ring.

"Aya? Hi, it's Goto Maki... Are you busy? I thought I'd come pick up that jacket..."
The world, hell...fate itself is calling for MAyaki raburabu!  :heart:

JFC is not only you, but this chapter might sound like other, bacause this chapter is the same that "memoir part 13", the only difference is that in memoir it was Yossy POV, and now is Maki's

Ahh... I feel bad for Maki, but yeah, she needs to forget about Yossy and move on

I don't know, but I think this tiny voice is going to make her appearance once more, and I'm started to doubt again about what really happened that night between her and Yossy, I need a chapter of that night with Maki's POV :banghead: :banghead:

So we finally get to see that part from Maki's POV  :O  It's good to see that at that point she really WANTED to get over Yossi after all that time of wallowing around in regret. Maybe her going to pick up her coat from Aya is the start of a closer Maki/Aya relationship  :oops: *sits and waits*

I guess Almond should start putting warning at the beggining of her "flash" back chapters. " WARNING: THIS IS A FLASH BACK OF CHAPTER SO AND SO FROM PART SO AND SO"

I've mentioned this to you before, I really liked this chapter... WAAAY MORE than the original ^_^.

There was something about hopeless loveless emo Maki that I really liked, a certain charm i enjoyed about it. Then again i'm into tragedies  :twisted:

Anywho... Mayaki was meant to be since the very begining lol

Ok so in the past three weeks I've reread the entire memoir series four times. I figure it's time to stop being lazy and actually review. I LOVE THE MEMOIR SERIES! This whole series is pure genius and it's the best story I've ever read. I hope you continue with it and I can't wait till the next chapter. Can't wait till Yossy finds out about the little deal Miki struck with Aya.

Sorry, real life is kicking my ass lately, so I'll just cut to the chase. New part!

--------------------------

PART 29
YOSSY - SEPTEMBER 15TH

"Ok.... ok..." I wedged my cell between my shoulder and my chin as I unlocked my apartment door. "Absolutely. Rika, I'll see you then, ok?" Miki glanced up from the couch and smiled at me. I flashed a grin back at her. God, she was so beautiful... And that t-shirt she was wearing was so clingy... oh my gah, was that her bra strap peeking out...?!

"Oh! Yocchan! One last thing!" Rika piped up in my ear. I shook my head to clear the thoughts out of my frustrated hormone-soaked brain.

"Yes?"

"What's this I hear about you grabbing Shiba's ass during rehearsal? Are you not getting enough at home or something?" I could hear the grin in Rika's voice. How the hell did everyone find out about that damn bet anyway?!

"Oh, you know perfectly well I'm not!" I retorted, angrily snapping my phone shut. Miki turned off the TV and walked over to me.

"You're not what?" she asked, smiling up at me and giving me a quick kiss.

"Letting you get away with just that," I whispered, grabbing her by the waist and pulling her against me, capturing her lips with mine. Miki tangled her fingers in my hair and pushed us back against the closed front door. I ran my hands up along her back, sneaking under that pesky cotton fabric to touch her smooth skin. God, she felt so good...

"Yocchan..." Miki moaned as I began kissing her neck. I slyly reached my hands up and unhooked her bra. "Yossy!" she pushed herself away and looked at me. "Bet!" she scolded.

"Bed sounds wonderful," I replied in a low voice, running my index finger slowly along her collarbone.

"BET, YOSHIZAWA! BETTTTTTTT!" she leapt back from my touch, her hands in the air like she was afraid they would take control of her body and start grabbing my ass without her permission.

"You're killing me here, Fujimoto," I groaned and leaned back against the door.

"She said I was sex obsessed!" she complained, staring at me as though she could tear the clothes off of my body with her eyes.

"So!? Let it go!"

"No! Then Aya wins!"

"Ok, you know what? It's me. I'm the sex obsessed one. I will call Aya right now, ok? And tell her the bet's off because I can't take it anymore. You are a perfect virtuous angel and I, the lust-crazed devilish girl that I am, cannot stand this and must ravage you."

"She'd still win."

"Why do you have to be so damn competitive!?" I complained.

"Yocchan, you know why I'm doing this!"

"Because you're insane?"

"Yossy........" she groaned, flopping down on the couch. I sighed and walked over to her.

"I'm serious. And, just so we're clear, I am NOT spying on your insane dating game rejects anymore" I declared, sitting down next to her.

"Aw, but you had fun!" she protested, leaning her head on my shoulder.

"Yui demanded they compare bra sizes and started to take her shirt off!" I exclaimed.

"AND YOU STOPPED HER!?" Miki sat up and glared at me. I stared at my perfect virtuous angel for a moment.

"No. Maki did," I said finally.

"Oh, really."

"Yes, really. She swooped in out of nowhere with some story about rehearsals and needing her coat back from Aya... I have no idea," I shrugged.

"hmm..." Miki leaned against me thoughtfully. "Who do you think would have won?"

"Huh?"

"Yui vs Aya... who do you think would have won?"

"What?" I started laughing. "I don't know! You're the groper."

"True..." she mused. "You know..." With a shock, I realized her hand had traveled under my shirt during our conversation and she was now demonstrating her groping skills.

"M-miki!"

"I was thinking," she practically purred, pushing herself against me until I was flat on the couch.

"Miki, this is mean," I groaned.

"Just because I can't get laid doesn't mean you can't..." she brushed her lips across mine as she spoke.

"Oh God... wait, Miki are you... oh... I mean, are you crazy? That's going to make you..." Miki pulled back and looked deep into my eyes.

"This is my mess, not yours. You shouldn't have to suffer because of me."

"But - " She silenced my protest with a kiss.

"But nothing. I love you," she smiled. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back.

"I love you too," I murmured.

When in doubt, credit Nakazawa. Even if she didn't do it, she'll probably act like she did.

I love the groping of Shiba-chan, and Yui comparing her boobs with Aya!!!!!!!!!! I'm with Miki, who would win? :? XD
I asked this really hot my beta and sometimes co-writer and she said she wasn't sure either, so I left it like that.

Actually, people in my blog comments debated this point. But, I say there's a difference between getting laid yourself and giving Yossy a li'l somethin' something'.
...a very very very fine line of a difference, but work with me people!  :lol:


Wow, that's raburabu people.  :wub:
YEP!


Oki, new part in just a bit!  :muffin:

PART 30
MAKI - SEPTEMBER 17TH

I've been thinking a lot lately about what my career has cost me... or rather... who, I guess... what it's made me become. I mean, who am I outside of my career? What kind of person have I become?

But...

All of those thoughts disappear when I'm onstage, when I'm in that spotlight... When I can feel the music coursing through my veins, my pulse slowing and quickening, matching the beat of the song... When every conscious thought vanishes and leaves behind only raw emotion...

I glanced seductively to one side.

"Aya no uta," I sang before turning my gaze to my left. "Ai no kotoba no kage."

"CUT!" the director's voice cut sharply through the music into my consciousness. I paused mid-motion and glanced down at him. He sighed. "Ok, let's... it's late, so let's just call it a night and try again tomorrow. Perhaps with correct lyrics this time."

My jaw dropped. Correct... what!? One of my backup dancers started giggling. I turned and shot him a look. Dammit, what had I messed up?

"Gocchin! Your phone's going off~!" one of the backup dancers called. "Ohhhhhhhhh!" he giggled. "It's from... Matsuura Aya desu~"

"Gee, thanks, Maeda Ken," I snapped, swiping the phone from him. I flipped it open.... Six new text messages?!

"I guess it makes sense now," I heard someone whisper. I turned around.

"What?" I asked. Two of the dancers glanced at one another.

"Well, Gocchin... I've worked with you for a while now, and, well... you're kind of gone," one of them said finally.

"Gone how?" I raised an eyebrow. She glanced away for a moment.

"That's the fourth time this week you've said 'Aya' instead of 'Ai' in a song..." she said finally. Her companion started laughing.

"I... " I trailed off. Oh my God, I had, hadn't I? I turned red and mumbled an apology before running out of the building.

I raised my arm to hail a cab while I checked my messages from Aya.

"Makira Makira!
Another date tonight. Yay -.-
Maybe you won't have to save me??
...I'll keep you posted.
A"

"M, it's bad.
I'm going to be 30 before she finishes this SENTENCE, much less dinner!
I might need a hand again.
I think Miki hates me lol
A"

"Maki, she's still ordering.... -.-
A"

"Gocchin........ She's STILL ordering!
A"

"M! Save me! She ordered the entire right side of the menu!
I'm never getting out of here alive!
;_;
A"

"Oh my God, it took her ten minutes to eat ONE THING!
ONE!
A"

"Help....
A"

I hit reply as a cab pulled up.

"Where are you?" I texted, opening the door and sliding inside. She replied almost immediately.

"That new restaurant by my apartment.
Thank you <3
A"

I told the driver where to go and sat back in the seat with a slight smile on my face.

"I'll be right there. Don't worry.
M"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Aya's going out to eat with either Eri or Konno. Eri because of her last name and Konno because of how slow she usually talks and how slow and how much she eats.

Post by: Kreuz_Asakura on May 17, 2008, 03:44:02 AM
hahaha I totally think is Konno XD Miki you're so evil but honestly, I doubt Aya is the least angry with Miki, on the contrary, I think she's using these dates as a excuse to spend time with Maki :twisted:

Talking about Maki, She's falling for Aya!!! :w00t:  those mistakes in the song were cute :wub: but I noticed something else, the date is SEPTEMBER 17TH!!! :O  so this mean her graduation is getting close :cry: this could explain the part when she's thinking about her career. I hope this doesn't interfere in her relationship with Aya-chan :(  They deserve to be together!!! :angry: More like I want them together :inlove:

Title: Re: [part 30] memoir III: memory
Post by: poets on May 17, 2008, 07:19:57 AM
^^ Good looking out Kruez_Asakura! I hadn't noticed that 

When I read this chapter my brain did a comparison on the two main couples and the results were:

Mayaki > Yomiki

when asked why... I realized that I enjoy the whole "forces of nature" sorta theme to them. Everything that happens around them only makes them closer XD...

As for this chapter:

Aya's on a date with OBVIOUSLY konkon XD... fave part had to be "Gocchin...... she's STILL ordering"  TFF that was TFF

As far as new developments in the story... we're starting to get a glimps of how the characters are starting to feel about one another.  You have:

Aya's consistent and numerous texts.... which to be honest, would annoy the crap out of anyone. "help me... come save me... i'm on a blind date because i made a bet with my sex-obssessed bestfriend that she wouldn't get laid until i got laid... blah blah blah ....whine whine whine" <- that's how it would be read by me if i had to consistently save her from her blinds date. BUT!!!!! here is where you see how Maki feels about her.... Maki's not the least bit annoyed... in fact maki is a happy... maki keeps screwing her lyrics and replacing "ai" with "aya"... Maki is being accused of being "gone". Maki just got on a cab to once more save a girl who just can't get out of WIERD ASS blind dates.

So now... i'm just looking forward for chapters that will deepened their relationship... i want to see them interact with eachother... i mean, i don't think i've read a chapter where they're conversing o.o

If they get together, cause now i'm a bit worried with Goto's grad date so close, I will miss these random blindates XD they're just TFF
Title: Re: [part 30] memoir III: memory
Post by: sweeety on May 18, 2008, 04:24:22 PM
 I can't wait till either Maki gets or realises she is jealous or she gets set up on a blind date with Ayaya. Either way I hope it leads to a real date soon because Miki will get blue-.......boobs XD

 Are you gonna include Maki's MM gradutaion? Cause I think (if Miki is in MM) she has already graduated.... Dunno though.
 
 Anyway, great job as always, hope you keep it up and the next chapter comes up quickly..... I had fun reading it  ( a lot of hours ago, my sis snatched the PC....long story)  hope you have as much fun writig them. Luv, sweeety mwah, cya

Super Maki! New from Bandai!

...someone should market those...

I wonder who Ayas date is? lol
Hint 1 - Eats a LOT
Hint 2 - Does everything slowly
Hint 3 - ESPECIALLY eating

Love the stor keep up the good work looking forward to many more chapers in this story and I love it! I hope you update again soon, mwah! Luv u! Byez

Um. Do you have multiple personality disorder?  :dunno:

Anyway, this story is currently in September 2007. Maki graduated in 2002... I covered that topic during Yossy's part in memoir and then again from Maki's point of view a few chapters ago...

When I read the "Aya no uta" I was like  :? And then,  :w00t: I think they're a cute couple! Gocchin's like the prince who keeps having to save Aya!
Yep. Super Maki.

...someone make me t-shirts or something. I think we have a marketable concept here! Idol singer by day, super hero by night! Rescuing women across the nation from bad dates with her charm and good looks! But what woman can win her heart...?

Aww 'Aya no uta' that's so sweet.. I thought it was a typo at first.. XD
I NEVER MAKE TYPOS!!!!

She thinking that she's let some chances pass her by because she's been focused on her career? She gonna start grabbing those chances maybe?
Why did "chances" in my head suddenly become a code word for "boobs"?


And I won't quote the emoticon post, but epic as always. I once told someone "JFC is the caviar of fic comments" ^^

Okay, WHO is it that Aya's out with this time? :on lol:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Aya's going out to eat with either Eri or Konno. Eri because of her last name and Konno because of how slow she usually talks and how slow and how much she eats.
PIN PON!

The correct answer is Konno Asami. Konno. Asami. Thank you for playing.
Now a word from our sponsors about Super Maki!

PART 31
MAKI - AUGUST 20TH, 2007

I'm not sure whose brilliant idea it was in the first place. It might have even been mine, but I had no idea they'd turned into such hard drinkers.

I had gotten a random phone call from a childhood friend and somehow our old group ended up having a little reunion at the bar down the street from my apartment. Now, I've been around some heavy drinkers, but these girls were nuts. It wasn't long until they were completely smashed and I was pretty damn buzzed myself.

Ah, who am I kidding? I was smashed myself, but thanks to Yuuchan's fine example, I'm pretty good at acting normal while drunk.

With the help of the bartender, I managed to get them all into cabs and see them off, lying through my teeth as I promised to do this again sometime. I was just about to wander home to sober up a bit when the bartender called me back inside.

"What?" I asked, walking over to him. "Did I miss one?"

"Not exactly," he said carefully. "I mean, she wasn't part of your group, but I think she's a friend of yours, isn't she?" He gestured over at the figure sitting alone at the far corner of the bar, her hair spilling down in front of her face like a curtain, her long slender fingers absentmindedly playing with the rim of the empty glass in front of her. I recognized her immediately.

"Yocchan?" I said softly, coming up next to her. She jerked her head up and looked at me in confusion for a minute before a look of recognition spread across her face.

"Heeeey, it's Goto Maki. Go-to Ma-ki. Gomaki. Hey, remember when we were penguins? That was awesome," she started laughing a little. I glanced over at the bartender, trying my best to focus through my own haze.

"How much has she had?" I asked him.

"I'm not sure," he replied. "She was already here when my shift started and she's had quite a bit since then." I felt my phone start to vibrate in my pocket. Without even glancing at it, I hit the button to send the call straight to voice mail. I had enough to deal with right now.

"Hey, Yossy, why don't we get you home?" I said quietly, helping her to her feet.

"No. I can't go home.. 'cause she's either there or she's not and I don't want that," she replied darkly. I stared at her blankly, wondering if that didn't make sense because she was drunk or because I was.

"Whatever. I guess we'll go sober up together, then." I grunted a little as the tall Gatas captain leaned heavily against me and started laughing again. Ugh, she absolutely reeked of liquor. As we stumbled out the front door, I felt a familiar hand creeping up my shirt. Of course. "Yocchan..." I sighed.

"HA!" she laughed triumphantly. "I kept telling her it was just a push-up, but she didn't believe me."

"Right, whatever," I muttered, half dragging her laughing, grope-happy, drunk ass down the street.


I was pretty impressed when we got to my apartment. We only had to stop once for her to puke on the way.

As I walked inside, I flicked on the lights and let go of her to lock the door behind us. A loud crash startled me and I physically jumped and whirled around. She had somehow fallen over my coffee table and was now lying on the floor, laughing her ass off. I groaned. I was waaaaaay too drunk to babysit her like this.

"Yocchan?" I called, walking over to her. She stopped laughing and stared at me.

"...Oh, hey!" she exclaimed, like I'd just gotten there. I dragged her into a sitting position. "What's up?"

"You reek," I said flatly. Nothing quite like the stench of spilled alcohol with a slight undertone of vomit. Very after-party chic. Yossy just laughed again. I tried to focus myself and study her face. "Yossy, stand up."

"Okaaaaaaay!" she giggled. She tried to get up and ended up falling over the table again, landing right where she'd started. She stared up at me. "That. was. AWESOME."

"Ok, we need to sober you up a little," I sighed, lugging her to her feet and dragging her into the bathroom.

"Where're we goin'?" she asked, as I propped her up against the wall.

"I'm attempting to make you slightly more coherent so I can go sleep my own buzz off," I sighed, leaning into the shower to turn it on. I held my hand under the water, waiting for it to get warm enough not to shock her system. "Ok..." I said, turning around.

My jaw dropped.

"Yossy, why are you getting naked?!" I exclaimed, unable to tear my eyes away from her lean, muscular form as she stripped down.

"Duh. Shower," she replied, looking at me like I was the crazy one. She reached around and made several unsuccessful attempts to unhook her bra. I started laughing at her predicament.

A tiny voice in the back of my mind started yelling at me "Bad Maki! Very bad! Step away from the naked Yoshizawa," but I was too far gone to listen to it.  I walked over to her and, not quite knowing what I was doing, ran my hands up her back and unhooked her bra. She looked into my eyes, her expression unreadable.

I felt the room spin a little around me as I guided her into the shower. She grabbed my hand and pulled me in with her. I put my hand against the wall to steady myself a little and stared at her, standing under the stream of water, her eyes closed. Suddenly, she looked very sad.

She swayed a little and I grabbed her waist to steady her, unconsciously pulling her close to me. She opened her eyes and looked at me.

"Miki left me for Aya," she said quietly before I could even ask. My eyes widened. She looked away. "I just wish I could forget everything. Even just for a moment."

I can blame being drunk. I can blame the steam from the shower. I can blame the water coursing along her naked body. But, it was those words that did it. Her speaking aloud my thoughts from our last close moment together... from what should have been our first time together. Those words seeping into my alcohol-soaked brain. I thought it was a sign that this was meant to be. That this was my chance to fix my mistake from all those years ago.

So I kissed her.

I felt like I was back to that day when I turned my head away from her, that day when I lied and said I wasn't ready, that day I've regretted ever since. But, I knew in the back of my mind that this wasn't good, that I needed to stop this now.

I pulled back and turned my face away from her.  She stepped back from me. She stood under the water for a moment, holding her head in her hands. She was breathing heavily.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that," I said quietly. The running water filled the silence between us.

"No, I mean..." she said finally. "I just..."

"No, I know, it's ok, I'm - "

"It's not ok," she cut me off bitterly. "Nothing is ok right now. And as screwed up as it is, no matter what she's done, I still love Miki." She sighed and turned the water off.

"I know how that is," I muttered.

"What?" I lifted my head and looked her straight in the eye.

"I know how it is to be in love with someone no matter what has happened between the two of you." She didn't say anything. I sighed and stepped out of the shower.

"You don't mean..."

"You need to sleep," I replied, pulling a towel around myself. "Just grab one of the shirts out of my closet or something. Everything's still in the same place."

"Maki...?"

"I need to cool down, sorry," I said shortly, walking out of the bathroom and shutting the door behind me.

I stripped off my shirt and sat down on my coffee table, soaking wet, wearing only my jeans and a towel draped around my shoulders. I stared into the darkness of my living room, the only light coming from the street lamps outside.

As soon as I heard the door to my bedroom shut, I walked back into the bathroom and systematically cleaned up, putting the clothes into the hamper, hanging up the towels. I glanced up at the mirror.

"I'm sorry."

I stared at the words scrawled across the foggy glass for a moment before wiping them away with my hand. I glanced down at the counter and spied my cell phone with the New Message light blinking. I sighed and dialed my voice mail as I walked back into the living room to grab some clothes out of the bag I'd packed for Korea.

"Maki!? It's Miki. I... It's a long story. But, just... I don't know... Please, if you see Yossy, send her home. I need to... It wasn't what she thought. It's all... Just, please send her home... Or at least... just... just tell her I love her." Click.

I hung up the phone and stared numbly into the darkness.

Oh my God.

What had I almost done...

Who in their right mind would take advantage of someone like that?

Even if I was drunk, that's still no excuse...

What kind of person would almost...?

What kind of person have I become...

And the push-up was nice!  :yep: Poor Maki, she's too hard on herself. I mean, sure she kissed her but that was it! She shouldn't have done it but at least it was only a kiss.

I love Maki... It's so sweet what she did. But if it was me I would have called Miki up to tell her I found her and she is allright. Wow, that would have totally made the whole second installment redundant.

 I loved it... Nice and short and some funniness but mostly emo.. Hope the new chapter comes out prin mas gastrosoune XD I hope u keep up the good work... And update more often please.

 See ya mwah

So Maki wasn't completely innocent. I knew that it was an unlikely story that she didn't touch Yossie at all. At least she didn't sleep  with her and only kissed her.

Ah, who am I kidding? I was smashed myself, but thanks to Yuuchan's fine example, I'm pretty good at acting normal while drunk.

Yuuchan is a master :mon heh:


"Heeeey, it's Goto Maki. Go-to Ma-ki. Gomaki. Hey, remember when we were penguins? That was awesome," she started laughing a little. I glanced over at the bartender, trying my best to focus through my own haze.
ok, that was cute  :mon inluv: gomaki penguin monogatari rulz!  :mon cigar:

"HA!"
she laughed triumphantly. "I kept telling her it was just a push-up, but she didn't believe me."

"Right, whatever," I muttered, half dragging her laughing, grope-happy, drunk ass down the street.
mauajaujajajaj that's funny!!  :mon lmao:

"Yossy, why are you getting naked?!" I exclaimed, unable to tear my eyes away from her lean, muscular form as she stripped down.

"Duh. Shower," she replied, looking at me like I was the crazy one. She reached around and made several unsuccessful attempts to unhook her bra. I started laughing at her predicament.

A tiny voice in the back of my mind started yelling at me "Bad Maki! Very bad! Step away from the naked Yoshizawa," but I was too far gone to listen to it.  I walked over to her and, not quite knowing what I was doing, ran my hands up her back and unhooked her bra. She looked into my eyes, her expression unreadable.

Maki=  :mon blood:

Yossy=  :mon unsure:... :mon bath: and naked :mon evillaff:

maujajajaja bad maki! the best ever :mon XD:

"Miki left me for Aya," she said quietly before I could even ask. My eyes widened. She looked away. "I just wish I could forget everything. Even just for a moment."

I can blame being drunk. I can blame the steam from the shower. I can blame the water coursing along her naked body. But, it was those words that did it. Her speaking aloud my thoughts from our last close moment together... from what should have been our first time together. Those words seeping into my alcohol-soaked brain. I thought it was a sign that this was meant to be. That this was my chance to fix my mistake from all those years ago.

So I kissed her.

NOOOOO maki...  :mon wtf: at least it was only a kiss   :mon dunno:

"I know how that is," I muttered.

"What?" I lifted my head and looked her straight in the eye.

"I know how it is to be in love with someone no matter what has happened between the two of you." She didn't say anything. I sighed and stepped out of the shower.

"You don't mean..."

"You need to sleep," I replied, pulling a towel around myself. "Just grab one of the shirts out of my closet or something. Everything's still in the same place."

"Maki...?"

"I need to cool down, sorry," I said shortly, walking out of the bathroom and shutting the door behind me.

oooooooook... that was a indirect surely direct  :mon ko: poor maki  :mon runcry:

"Maki!? It's Miki. I... It's a long story. But, just... I don't know... Please, if you see Yossy, send her home. I need to... It wasn't what she thought. It's all... Just, please send her home... Or at least... just... just tell her I love her." Click.

 :mon fire:

wainting next chapter!!

Oh FUCK! How could I have not realized it was Konkon!?!?!?  :hiakhiakhiak:

And I won't quote the emoticon post, but epic as always. I once told someone "JFC is the caviar of fic comments" ^^
Awwwwwwwwww...wub you too. 
:gmon sing:

MY POST #9994 IS FOR THE AWESOMENESS THAT IS THE almond FIC SAGA! :rockon:


Quote
I had gotten a random phone call from a childhood friend and somehow our old group ended up having a little reunion at the bar down the street from my apartment. Now, I've been around some heavy drinkers, but these girls were nuts. It wasn't long until they were completely smashed and I was pretty damn buzzed myself.
Man, those crazy Hokkaido girls.  O0



Quote
I was just about to wander home to sober up a bit when the bartender called me back inside.

"What?" I asked, walking over to him. "Did I miss one?"

"Not exactly," he said carefully. "I mean, she wasn't part of your group, but I think she's a friend of yours, isn't she?" He gestured over at the figure sitting alone at the far corner of the bar, her hair spilling down in front of her face like a curtain, her long slender fingers absentmindedly playing with the rim of the empty glass in front of her. I recognized her immediately.

"Yocchan?" I said softly, coming up next to her. She jerked her head up and looked at me in confusion for a minute before a look of recognition spread across her face.

"Heeeey, it's Goto Maki. Go-to Ma-ki. Gomaki. Hey, remember when we were penguins? That was awesome," she started laughing a little.
EH!?? :shocked: And here I thought it was Miki that had gotten plastered.

...


...


Uh oh...Maki and Yossi...in a bar...drunk...AGAIN! :stunned:

What is it with these too that they always run into each other this way? :lol:

...

Actually, come to think of it...Maki knows about "the bet", right?  :gmon blonde:

...

And yeah, the penguins WERE awesome.  :pen_whirl:



Quote
"How much has she had?" I asked him.

"I'm not sure," he replied. "She was already here when my shift started and she's had quite a bit since then." I felt my phone start to vibrate in my pocket. Without even glancing at it, I hit the button to send the call straight to voice mail. I had enough to deal with right now.
Wow...that...is a lot of boozin. (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/cheers.gif)

...

Wonder who the call was from?




Quote
"Whatever. I guess we'll go sober up together, then." I grunted a little as the tall Gatas captain leaned heavily against me and started laughing again. Ugh, she absolutely reeked of liquor. As we stumbled out the front door, I felt a familiar hand creeping up my shirt. Of course. "Yocchan..." I sighed.

"HA!" she laughed triumphantly. "I kept telling her it was just a push-up, but she didn't believe me."

"Right, whatever," I muttered, half dragging her laughing, grope-happy, drunk ass down the street.
Oh boy.  It must have been a while since the events of the last chapter. Yossi must be....um....pretty..."antsy" again.  :bleed eyes:



Quote
I was pretty impressed when we got to my apartment. We only had to stop once for her to puke on the way.

As I walked inside, I flicked on the lights and let go of her to lock the door behind us. A loud crash startled me and I physically jumped and whirled around. She had somehow fallen over my coffee table and was now lying on the floor, laughing her ass off. I groaned. I was waaaaaay too drunk to babysit her like this.
Wait a sec...

/me reads that part again.


Is this?

/me reads that part a third time.


HOLY FUCK IT'S A FLASHBACK TO WHEN YOSSI GOT SLOSHED AFTER SHE THOUGHT MIKI WAS CHEATING ON HER/LEAVING HER FOR AYA BECAUSE SHE SAW THE TWO OF THEM KISSING WHICH LEAD HER TO DRINK HERSELF STUPID AND SHE WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY THINKING SHE BOFFED MAKI!!!
:OMG::OMG::OMG::OMG::OMG:

/me inhales deeply.



Quote
"Where're we goin'?" she asked, as I propped her up against the wall.

"I'm attempting to make you slightly more coherent so I can go sleep my own buzz off," I sighed, leaning into the shower to turn it on. I held my hand under the water, waiting for it to get warm enough not to shock her system. "Ok..." I said, turning around.

My jaw dropped.

"Yossy, why are you getting naked?!" I exclaimed, unable to tear my eyes away from her lean, muscular form as she stripped down.

"Duh. Shower," she replied, looking at me like I was the crazy one.
Aaaaaaaah...so THAT's how it happened. (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/hmmm.gif)



Quote
A tiny voice in the back of my mind started yelling at me "Bad Maki! Very bad! Step away from the naked Yoshizawa," but I was too far gone to listen to it.
Annoying little buggers, aren't they?



Quote
Suddenly, she looked very sad.

...

"Miki left me for Aya," she said quietly before I could even ask. My eyes widened. She looked away. "I just wish I could forget everything. Even just for a moment."

I can blame being drunk. I can blame the steam from the shower. I can blame the water coursing along her naked body. But, it was those words that did it.

I thought it was a sign that this was meant to be. That this was my chance to fix my mistake from all those years ago.

So I kissed her.
She did whut?  :badluck:

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh boy she's lucky Yossi was too hammered to clearly remember THAT.



Quote
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that," I said quietly. The running water filled the silence between us.

"No, I mean..." she said finally. "I just..."

"No, I know, it's ok, I'm - "

"It's not ok," she cut me off bitterly. "Nothing is ok right now. And as screwed up as it is, no matter what she's done, I still love Miki." She sighed and turned the water off.

"I know how that is," I muttered.

"What?" I lifted my head and looked her straight in the eye.

"I know how it is to be in love with someone no matter what has happened between the two of you." She didn't say anything. I sighed and stepped out of the shower.

"You don't mean..."
Sunnovabitch...point blank confession of unfinished raburabu.  For all her bravado and "genki-ness", it must really have been killing Maki to not be together with Yossi.
:pen_cry:



Quote
I glanced down at the counter and spied my cell phone with the New Message light blinking. I sighed and dialed my voice mail as I walked back into the living room to grab some clothes out of the bag I'd packed for Korea.

"Maki!? It's Miki. I... It's a long story. But, just... I don't know... Please, if you see Yossy, send her home. I need to... It wasn't what she thought. It's all... Just, please send her home... Or at least... just... just tell her I love her." Click.

I hung up the phone and stared numbly into the darkness.

Oh my God.

What had I almost done...
Yikes, so the call was from Miki...

It's a good thing that Maki stopped herself when she did. She might have been drunk, but at least she still had enough sense to not give in like that.

...

Though, one can't help but wonder, even with the "playful" note that Maki left before she left the next morning, why didn't she leave Yossi an additional message that told her what Miki had said in her voicemail (i.e. that things weren't "as they appeared to be" and what not)?




Quote
Who in their right mind would take advantage of someone like that?

Even if I was drunk, that's still no excuse...

What kind of person would almost...?

What kind of person have I become...
Damn, almost sounds like Maki's punishing herself for feeling temptation. She really shouldn't though, it wasn't exactly surprising, given the circumstances. And above all else, she didn't give in. She could have done it, but the important thing is that she DIDN'T do it.  She had an all-too-human reaction to a difficult situation, the fact that she was still in love with Yossi sure has hell didn't make things any easier for her.

Makes you wonder if this guilt is part of why Maki's not letting herself see (either consciously or unconsciously) that she could be happy with Aya, given how they've obviously gotten closer over the past while. Is she deliberately avoiding moving on and getting in a relationship with someone because she doesn't think she deserves that happiness?

Thanks PoPoe~! Yeah, I'm still somewhat alive. I just moved from Colorado to Maryland a few days ago. I'm on *shudder* dial-up and can only randomly get online. Plus I have to take care of my grandmother during her recovery from cataracts surgery AND I have to job hunt.... blah. XD

So, yes, very very sorry. I am alive, there are only a few more to go, but I've been too scatterbrained to write anything coherent for quite a while.

I gotta feel pretty sorry for YoMiki (mainly Miki) right now, I bet they didn't anticipated the bet lasting this long, but it means it will be even more special when you do get back to writing...

O HAI.

Yes, I'm still alive. I've had a lot going on.  :sweatdrop: You all have no idea how much my life has changed since I started writing this monster. XD

It took me TWENTY DAMN MINUTES to post this chap on my blog and get to here. Dial-up = :thumbdown:
Quite frankly, I'm scared to open the [more] emoticons menu, so I'm limited in my usage here XD

But JFC, don't let that stop you from your epic comments! I'll open the page and go for a walk or something XD

Anyway, I won't blab on and tease you for longer! I have other outlets for my slightly sadistic teasing nature now  :wub:

PART 32
AYA - SEPTEMBER 21ST

I had made it all the way to the street when it started to rain. Hard.

And I needed to pee.

Badly.

I groaned and spun on my heel, turning around and heading back inside. Her door was still unlocked.

"Maki?" I glanced around the empty apartment. I quietly shut the door behind me and cautiously began walking inside. Ah! There she was, on the balcony.

I started to call out to her, but a gut feeling inside stopped me. Silently, I walked towards the sliding glass door.

She stood there silently, a cigarette dangling between her fingers as she gazed out into the night. Her eyes searching the dark cityscape for answers as she slowly took a long drag.

She exhaled. The smoke drifted up into the night, mixing with the falling rain. It was then that I noticed the tears falling unheeded down her face.

I hesitated, my hand hovering over the handle of the door. She looked over and met my eye and turned to gaze back into the rain.

I opened the door, stepping out into the cool night. The sound of the falling rain was all around me. I walked up to her and gently laid my hand upon hers as it rest upon the railing.

"You came back," she said quietly, stubbing her cigarette out.

"Maki..."

"Did you need something?" she asked casually, pulling her hand out of my grasp to roughly brush the tears away.

"What's wrong?" My eyes searched hers for answers, but she turned her face away from me.

"Nothing." I reached out and grabbed her chin, turning her to face me. I struggled not to flinch at the raw pain in her eyes.

"Don't lie to me," I said quietly.

"I can't tell you," she sighed.

"I thought we were close... well, lately at least...  and - "

"And that's why you are the one person I don't want to know."

We both fell silent and I released my grasp on her face. I looked out into the rain.

"I would like it if you felt you could tell me anything, but... I understand if you don't trust me like that, I mean - "

"I trust you," Maki interrupted me. "It's not about that... I just..."

"We've been in similar situations, you and I... Our lives are barely our own and, well... I just feel as though you understand me and maybe I understand you... I know you're a good person and - "

"I'm not," she practically spat out. "I'm not a good person. I make myself sick sometimes."

"What...?"

"I can't stop thinking about it lately. It's over and done, but I can't understand why I did what I've done... I just..." she turned her back to me and looked up at the balcony above hers. Without saying a word, without even quite knowing what I was doing, I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist. She leaned back into me and started to cry again.

I somehow managed to get her inside and onto the couch with me before she completely collapsed. It was strange how she cried... she wasn't sobbing... she just seemed broken, tired, uncaring of the tears streaming down her face... She sat there, leaning against me like she had no strength left, letting me hold her, comfort her.

And then she began to speak. The words flowed from her lips like they couldn't escape fast enough, like they had been aching to get out.

She told me everything... their beginning... their end... ...and what really happened that night... the night that almost destroyed my best friend's entire world... Everything she'd been keeping inside all of those years, all of those burdens she'd been shouldering alone...

I struggled with myself, trying not to express my shock, my disbelief, my pity for her... I knew that wasn't what she needed at that moment... So, I did all I could do. I held her, rubbed her back, rested my cheek against her shoulder, comforting her as best I could.

Finally the words just ran out, and she fell silent. Slowly, she got up from the couch, pulling herself out of my embrace.

"..I'm s-"

"Don't say it," I cut her off, standing up to face her. She stared at me, her eyes, still so red from crying, but not revealing a thing. "After everything you've done for me... it's the least I can do..."

"I..." she trailed off, sighing heavily.

"Thank you."

"For what?" she looked bewildered.

"For trusting me this much... I... I wish I could help... Say something, anything to make it a bit better... But... I don't know how to help when you're in love - "

"I'm not in love with her anymore," she interrupted quietly.

"...you're not?"

"No."

"Then... since when?" I asked. She turned away from me to look at the clock.

"It's late. You need your rest for work tomorrow."

"But!" I protested as she led me over to the front door.

"I'll be fine. Really." Maki gently pushed my hair out of my eyes. She smiled a little and looked into my eyes. "Thank you." Before I quite knew what was happening, she had cupped my face in her hands and gently kissed my lips.

As I was still trying to grasp what was going on, she pulled away and opened the front door. Confused and disoriented, I walked out into the hallway.

"Good night," she said softly, closing the door behind me. I blinked several times and started down the stairs to the street.

It wasn't until I reached the rain soaked pavement that I realized I had completely forgotten to use her bathroom.

-----------------------

Oh and don't give me a hard time about Maki smoking - there were pics published of her doing it  :P

Whoohoo!
Almond-sama is back! XD Ha~ppy!!!
Something about Maki smoking is somehow....alluring. Just seems kinda hot. And I am not a smoking fan at all. But her crying is :cry: They are kinda similar, Aya and Maki. Their professional lives as well as personal lives. I'm glad that Maki confided in her, though. She was just hurting herself by keeping it all in. Cute that they kinda have an understanding and closeness with each other. I :lol: when Aya forgot to use the bathroom! Duh, whole reason she went back up!
I think I'm gonna have to go back and read because I kinda forgot what was happening. :D

Being stuck on dail-up is major suxxors, but yeah...it probably wouldn't have stopped me from using a bunch of emoticons anyway.
:mon sweat:

Let's see, Miki's still trying to get Aya and Maki to hook up, right? :D

"And that's why you are the one person I don't want to know."
Aya's obviously concerned for her friend, and wants to help out if she can. Maki's reluctance to tell her gives the impression that whatever it is that's bothering her, Aya is somehow involved or connected to it (directly or indirectly), and she probably doesn't want to be a bother to or risk upsetting Aya as well.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooh...wow.

Is this about what happened (or more importantly, what ALMOST happened) on that night that Maki came across Yossi when she was sloshed off her ass?

:pen_cry:

It doesn't really hit you that hard until you realize that she's been alone all this time. For whatever reason, Maki hasn't been able to let herself be in a relationship because of what happened between her and Yossi.



Quote
Finally the words just ran out, and she fell silent. Slowly, she got up from the couch, pulling herself out of my embrace.

Sometimes, all you need is an ear to listen. Aya obviously can't fix what happened, but at least now, Maki doesn't have to hide/keep everything to herself.



Quote
"Thank you."

"For what?" she looked bewildered.

"For trusting me this much... I... I wish I could help... Say something, anything to make it a bit better... But... I don't know how to help when you're in love - "

Oh, has she? Has she? HAS SHE??? :w00t:

"I'll be fine. Really." Maki gently pushed my hair out of my eyes. She smiled a little and looked into my eyes. "Thank you." Before I quite knew what was happening, she had cupped my face in her hands and gently kissed my lips.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
 :mon lovelaff:



Quote
As I was still trying to grasp what was going on, she pulled away and opened the front door. Confused and disoriented, I walked out into the hallway.

"Good night," she said softly, closing the door behind me. I blinked several times and started down the stairs to the street.
Maki =  :mon kissy:
Aya =  :mon ko:



Quote
It wasn't until I reached the rain soaked pavement that I realized I had completely forgotten to use her bathroom.
Something tells me Aya's going to be preoccupied with something else for a while. :yep:



Quote
Oh and don't give me a hard time about Maki smoking - there were pics published of her doing it :P
Yeah, but I still stand by my assertion that it's

 :mon loveflower:



Now is Aya going to tell Miki what happened? ;D

If it took her that long to realize she forgot to use her bathroom, I wonder how long will it take for her to realize that Maki is falling for her. She dropped a couple of very important hints in that conversation.

Also, I'm picturing Aya with that confused and disoriented look on her face and it's the cutest thing ever. Well, right after that kiss, of course. :P


Anyway, thank you, thank you sooo muuuuuch for this new chapter, I enjoyed it a lot ^^

 :O :cry: Poor Maki, but it's about time she cracked... She has been keeping all of those emotions to herself for far too long... Finally now she can have someone to lean on when it comes to that point, which i am sure won't be often seeing Maki is more the type to be there for others rather than have people be there for her. :heart:
And now we have poor Aya, it's gotta be confusing for her... It was confusing enough to be in love with her best friend's gf and now she hears all that from the person she was getting so close to as well and yet surely she must be somewhat protective of Miki and not know how to take what Maki told her... BUT...

She doesn't need to worry 'bout a thing coz Yossy-who? Maki's got it bad for Ayyyyyaaaayyyyyaaaa!  :mon lovelaff:
That kiss was just so sweet and honest! It made me melt... Maki makes me melt... YOU make me melt!  :shy2:
Ohhh it feels so good to read another chapter and what an awesome one at that!  :mon fyeah:

At the beginning of this Aya was already at Maki's and then she left right? Did Maki save her from another date, or they were already hanging out. I feel like I'm missed a chapter or something. *shrugs*

Glad to see that Maki is starting to let go of the past so that she can move on and allow herself to be with someone else.

2. I now have my new shiny laptop, but...

At this point, I'm still optimistic about retrieving most of what was on the HD. I just have to actually DO it.
Luckily, I'd already sent what I'd written ahead to my hot, gorgeous,  :drool: beta (she who co-wrote Heat with me).
Unfortunately for you all, said beta is nowhere near her comp as she is asleep right over there. *points and grins*

3. My girlfriend is visiting and, well, yeah, I'm not writing when she's here  :drool:
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...:drool:

Couldn't have put it better myself XD

and I didn't know you're gay! Good for yoU! and congratulations on being single!
Uh... thanks?   :? (I don't really know how to respond to that...)
But, I'm not single....  :sweatdrop:

Anyway, new chaps should be coming at some point - I just need to retrieve what I had so far and write on. Sorry for turning into the Randomly Updated Every Three Months girl...  :sweat:

PART 33
AYA - SEPTEMBER 22ND

The setting sun reflected off the windows of the building, blinding me briefly as I stepped out of the cab. I stared up at the tall structure for a moment before striding quickly toward it. This time, I was ready. This time, I wasn't going to be distracted. This time... I had already peed.

Confidently, I knocked on her front door.  She opened it almost immediately.

"Hey!" Maki looked surprised to see me. She moved backwards, ushering me into her apartment.

"Hey..." I said quietly. My confidence from a moment ago had suddenly vanished into a pile of nerves. She smiled brightly and led me over to the couch, while her dark eyes studied my face.

"So, what brings you by?" she asked, sitting down next to me. "Have another date planned?"

"Thankfully, no," I laughed. "This is my one free evening without a date this week."

"Is Miki mad at you or does she just have unbelievably bad taste in women?" Maki grinned.

"Sometimes, I'm not sure myself," I laughed sheepishly.

We lapsed into silence.

"Um," I finally said.

"Yeah?"

"... about... yesterday..." I said carefully.

"What about it?" she gazed intently at me.

"Well... I mean..." I sighed. "You kissed me."

"Yes," she replied calmly. I was taken aback.

"...'yes'? That's it?"

"Did you expect me to deny it?" she laughed.

"Well, no, but.."

"Or apologize? That's one of the only things I've done lately that I haven't regretted," she sighed heavily and looked away.

"Maki..."

"...I am sorry if that made you uncomfortable, though. I never - "

"It didn't," I interrupted. She turned back to look at me. I blushed a bit in spite of myself. "Maki, I..."

"Aya, I think I - " A loud pounding on the door startled us both, making us jump. "Who the hell is that!?" Maki demanded, stalking over to the door. She peered through the peephole. "What the..." She turned back to me. "Do you have any idea why half of Hello! Project is outside my door!?"

"What!?"

"GOCCHIIIN! OPEN UP! I HAVE BOOZE!" I heard Nakazawa bellow as she pounded rhythmically on the door. Maki groaned.

"Do you ever get the feeling there's someone who gets a sadistic pleasure out of messing with our lives?" I asked, glaring up at the ceiling.

"You have no idea," Maki replied, wrenching the door open.

Good job Aya, you remembered to pee before going to Gocchin's house (where more awesome loving/kissing could happen?) Ooooh, is this some rabu-rabu I smell?? Yay!

...yeah...  :sweatdrop:

PART 34
YOSSY - SEPTEMBER 22ND

Miki opened her eyes cleared her throat. We all stood there expectantly.

"Rika, Maki, Kei, Yocchan, Yaguchi, Shiba, Gaki, Eri, Yocchan, Aya, Nakazawa, Yui, Konno, and when the hell did Aika get here?" she recited calmly. I grinned broadly.

"Told you. Now, pay up," I smirked and flopped down next to Miki on the couch, holding out my hand as the grumbling crowd dug into their purses for money.

"Whaaaaaat?! I thought putting you in there twice would throw her off," Yaguchi complained, slamming a wad of bills into my open hand. Miki grinned and wiggled her fingers.

"I have very talented hands," she laughed.

"I can attest to that," I piped up, looking happily at the growing stack of money in my hand.

"Didn't need to know that," Risa groaned, slinking away into the crowd.

"I'm not sure if 'talent' is the right word, but being able to identify someone by the feel of their ass is kind of creepy," Rika commented.

"I bet I could do boobs too. Would that help?" Miki smiled sweetly.



I sighed and tapped Aika on the shoulder.

"What d'ya... Oh! Yoshizawa! How are you?" Aika smiled sweetly.

"Yeah, drop the act, kid. What are you doing here?" I demanded. Aika stared at me blankly.

"I don't know what you - "

"I told you to drop the innocent act already!" I laughed. "You know perfectly well that this is an adults only party. We barely let in the girls who can't legally drink yet. And you, my little puppy, are only fourteen."

"If it's adults only, then why's Tanaka here?" she retorted, thumbing over her shoulder at Reina, who was busy chatting up Takahashi.

"She's got what... 2 months left before she's 18? Close enough. But... I mean, it's not YOU, Mitsy, but, you know... if we let you in, then next time, Koharu will come. And then half of Berryz will show up, and... quite frankly, it's a slippery slope that leads to Maimai and a bunch of random Eggs."

"You of all people should know that I can be discreet," Aika smirked. "I never told anyone about the time I caught you and Fujimoto - "

"YOU!" Aika and I jerked and turned to the source of the authoritative shout. Nakazawa's eyes narrowed and she stalked towards us, sake bottle in hand.

"Yes, Nakazawa?" Aika replied, looking innocently up at the leader to end all leaders. Nakazawa pointed at the cup in Aika's hand.

"That damn well better be apple juice," she snapped.

"It is as far as you know," Aika smiled sweetly and took another sip of her beer.

The entire party went dead silent. Even Risa stopped her weird multilingual karaoke rendition of Furusato. Every eye in the room was on Nakazawa Yuko and the suddenly very ballsy Mitsui Aika.

"That's all I've ever asked," Nakazawa said finally, reaching her hand out and slapping Aika on the back.



"I can't see you!" Sayumi belted out tunelessly into the microphone. "This really long Sunday!"

"What song is that?" Miki asked Aya loudly.

"Um... your debut single?" Aya stared at her incredulously.

"No, that can't be right. That song had a tune," Miki retorted. Sayu glared from her spot next to the karaoke machine and began to sing louder.

"WE MET BY ACCIDENT! LATELY, I'M CALLING YOU EVERY DAY!!" I winced and swiftly escaped onto the balcony.

"Hey," a voice said softly as I shut the glass door behind me. I glanced over towards the sound.

"Hey, birthday girl!" I laughed. "Hiding from your party?"

"Wouldn't you?" Maki replied with a wry grin. I chuckled.

"Sayu's singing on the karaoke machine," I explained, gesturing towards the closed door.

"Oh, thank God. It sounded like there was a dying animal in my living room," she laughed, setting her empty glass down on the edge of the railing. I pointed at it.

"Did you want me to sneak back in and get you a refill?" I offered. "Since you're the birthday girl and all... Can't have you getting sober." I grinned.

"Oh, it was just iced tea," she replied. "I'm... not drinking much these days."

"Yeah, me either... Nothing like a little drunken amnesia to scare you sober for a while," I laughed. She stared wordlessly out over the city. Neither of us spoke for a minute. "...Sorry," I said finally. "I didn't mean to bring that up. I really didn't - "

"I need to tell you something," Maki said suddenly. She still stared out at the view.

"Ok...?"

"I didn't... I mean, I wasn't entirely..." she sighed heavily and turned to face me. "I didn't tell you - "

"YOSSY!" Aya exclaimed, slamming the sliding glass door open. Maki and I both jumped.

"Aya, what in the - " Aya grabbed me by the arm and dragged me towards the door.

"Sayumi told Mikitty that her karaoke version of Aenai Nagai Nichiyoubi was better! I think - "

"SHIT!" I cursed, running past Aya and into the living room.

"Aya..." I heard Maki say quietly.

"I know... But don't do it," I heard Aya reply just before she shut the door. I didn't have time to think, though. I grabbed my homicidal girlfriend by the waist as she lunged for Sayu.

"Yocchan, LET ME DOWN!" Miki practically spat, struggling against my grasp.

"No."

"Ah~ My prince has arrived to save me from the evil witch~!" Sayu exclaimed.

"Sayu, shut up," I said calmly. "Miki, honey, calm down."

"She said hers was better because she was way cuter than I've ever been!" Miki growled.

"Baby, you don't need 'cute' when you're that damn sexy," I whispered in her ear. She looked over at me and a smile slowly spread across her face. I smiled down at her. "Now... why don't you go call off that silly bet with Aya?" Her eyes narrowed.

"Never!" she proclaimed, wiggling out of my arms. I groaned in defeat as my girlfriend began running around the party, setting up her best friend on a fresh set of the worst blind dates known to man.

...Wait a second, where did she think she was...

"Mitsy~!" Miki called in a sing-song voice. "How old are you again?"

"MIKI, NO!" I exclaimed, taking off after her again.



"Hmm...." Sayumi reached over and poked Risa's shoulder.

"Whaaat?" Risa mumbled grumpily, taking another sip of her drink. Sayu pointed in front of them.

"Is that a microwave or a television?" she asked, tilting her head to one side. Risa stared at the object intently.

"I... I don't know... maybe both....?"

"Ok, that's it," I sighed, reaching over their heads and snatching their drinks away. "You two have had enough."

"USO!" Risa exclaimed.

"Whyyy?" Sayu whined.

"Well, for one, we're the only ones left. It's three in the morning and Maki's asked me to kick everyone out."

"USO!" Risa exclaimed again.

"And two, because this is a bookshelf."

Did we "need" to know that? Maybe not.

Still awesome though.  :cow:



Quote
"I'm not sure if 'talent' is the right word, but being able to identify someone by the feel of their ass is kind of creepy," Rika commented.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SWEET!!!

They must all be at least a little buzzed by now if they all agreed to get Miki'd.  :shakeit:



Quote
"I bet I could do boobs too. Would that help?" Miki smiled sweetly.
:drool:



Quote
*YOSSI-AIKA TALK*
Holy shit, ballsy indeed. :rockon:



Quote
"YOU!" Aika and I jerked and turned to the source of the authoritative shout. Nakazawa's eyes narrowed and she stalked towards us, sake bottle in hand.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut it might be all for naught in the next 30 seconds.
:OMG:



Quote
"That damn well better be apple juice," she snapped.

"It is as far as you know," Aika smiled sweetly and took another sip of her beer.

The entire party went dead silent. Even Risa stopped her weird multilingual karaoke rendition of Furusato.
/me pictures everyone staring like :stunned: while the "tick-tock" of a clock is heard in the background.



Quote
"That's all I've ever asked," Nakazawa said finally, reaching her hand out and slapping Aika on the back.
Boy did she just dodge a bullet.
:sweat:



Quote
"I can't see you!" Sayumi belted out tunelessly into the microphone. "This really long Sunday!"

"What song is that?" Miki asked Aya loudly.

"Um... your debut single?" Aya stared at her incredulously.

"No, that can't be right. That song had a tune," Miki retorted.
Miki-sama for teh win!
:wahaha:



Quote
"Hey, birthday girl!" I laughed. "Hiding from your party?"

"Wouldn't you?" Maki replied with a wry grin. I chuckled.
Well, you can't really blame her if she's not exactly in a partying type of mood. Aside from the whole "drunken antics" thing, Maki WAS about to get a pretty awesome present when "the party" arrived.  :roll:



Quote
"Did you want me to sneak back in and get you a refill?" I offered. "Since you're the birthday girl and all... Can't have you getting sober." I grinned.

"Oh, it was just iced tea," she replied. "I'm... not drinking much these days."
With as many people there as there are, it wouldn't exactly be the smartest idea to get for either of them to get smashed, lest more drunken misunderstandings (or worse yet, drunken confessions) take place.
 :mon wind:



Quote
"I need to tell you something," Maki said suddenly. She still stared out at the view.

"Ok...?"

"I didn't... I mean, I wasn't entirely..." she sighed heavily and turned to face me. "I didn't tell you - "
Oshit. The only thing, really, that she didn't tell her was the truth about why broke up with her. Is this really the best time to do this?   :shocked:



Quote
"YOSSY!" Aya exclaimed, slamming the sliding glass door open. Maki and I both jumped.

"Aya, what in the - " Aya grabbed me by the arm and dragged me towards the door.

"Sayumi told Mikitty that her karaoke version of Aenai Nagai Nichiyoubi was better! I think - "

"SHIT!" I cursed, running past Aya and into the living room.
Oh hurry Yossi! Before we end up having some hasenpheffer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasenpfeffer)!
:shock:



Quote
"Aya..." I heard Maki say quietly.

"I know... But don't do it," I heard Aya reply just before she shut the door.
Aya must have figured (after the little cry-fest she helped Maki through) that she would want to, nay...HAVE to do sooner or later. Like I said though, this probably isn't the best time for Maki to do it.



Quote
"Yocchan, LET ME DOWN!" Miki practically spat, struggling against my grasp.

"No."

"Ah~ My prince has arrived to save me from the evil witch~!" Sayu exclaimed.

"Sayu, shut up," I said calmly. "Miki, honey, calm down."
Wouldn't it be interesting if Miki "got away" from Yossi for a few seconds? :twisted:



Quote
"She said hers was better because she was way cuter than I've ever been!" Miki growled.

"Baby, you don't need 'cute' when you're that damn sexy," I whispered in her ear. She looked over at me and a smile slowly spread across her face.
Fook yeah. :rockon:



Quote
"Now... why don't you go call off that silly bet with Aya?" Her eyes narrowed.

"Never!" she proclaimed, wiggling out of my arms. I groaned in defeat as my girlfriend began running around the party, setting up her best friend on a fresh set of the worst blind dates known to man.
Took me a couple of seconds to remember what "the bet" was...not to mention the conditions it meant for Yossi.
:pig laugh:



Quote
...Wait a second, where did she think she was...

"Mitsy~!" Miki called in a sing-song voice. "How old are you again?"

"MIKI, NO!" I exclaimed, taking off after her again.
OSNAP!!!
 :mon fyeah:


Seriously though, Aika probably wouldn't know what to do on a date if she had written notes given to her. :P



Quote
"Hmm...." Sayumi reached over and poked Risa's shoulder.

"Whaaat?" Risa mumbled grumpily, taking another sip of her drink. Sayu pointed in front of them.

"Is that a microwave or a television?" she asked, tilting her head to one side. Risa stared at the object intently.

"I... I don't know... maybe both....?"

"Ok, that's it," I sighed, reaching over their heads and snatching their drinks away. "You two have had enough."
Gee, you think?  :rofl:



Quote
"USO!" Risa exclaimed.

"Whyyy?" Sayu whined.

"Well, for one, we're the only ones left. It's three in the morning and Maki's asked me to kick everyone out."

"USO!" Risa exclaimed again.

"And two, because this is a bookshelf."
I'd say Risa and Sayu mind's right now are probably best represented by = :pen_whirl: :pen_whirl: :pen_whirl:




Have I mentioned how much I love it when you update? 'Cuz I do.  :wub: :wub: :wub:

"That damn well better be apple juice," she snapped.

"It is as far as you know," Aika smiled sweetly and took another sip of her beer.

The entire party went dead silent. Even Risa stopped her weird multilingual karaoke rendition of Furusato. Every eye in the room was on Nakazawa Yuko and the suddenly very ballsy Mitsui Aika.

"That's all I've ever asked," Nakazawa said finally, reaching her hand out and slapping Aika on the back.

My life is nuts blah blah blah crazy drunk roommate blah blah fired for being sick blah blah blah hot girlfriend

here's the update  :D

------------------------------

PART 35
GOTO - SEPTEMBER 23RD

We stared at one another intensely. Neither of us wanted to back down, but one of us had to. Someone had to give in, to let the other win, but it sure as hell wasn't going to be me. Because, dammit, this is my home and -

"Maki, don't make me tie you up," Aya interrupted my thoughts. She smiled and narrowed her eyes. "Because I will. And not in a way you'd enjoy."

My eyes widened and I quickly sat down on the couch, hands folded in my lap, and smiled sweetly up at her. Aya giggled.

"I knew you'd see it my way!" she practically sang as she skipped into the kitchen. "The birthday girl isn't allowed to clean up after her party."

"Yes ma'am," I replied in a childish voice. I leaned back and peered into the kitchen. Aya was bending down to get the dustpan out from under the sink.

"Stop looking at my ass, Goto."

"I was just making sure you were finding everything!!" I exclaimed defensively.

"Riiight," she laughed, walking back into the living room. "Maki, you don't have to sit there like that. ...Actually, please don't. It's a little creepy." I chuckled and stood up.

"What would you like me to do then? Since you're apparently in charge."

"Uh... I don't know, sing some karaoke? I need to get Sayumi's voice out of my head," she winced.

"Yes ma'am!" I saluted, marching over to the karaoke machine. I flipped through the CDs I had, looking for the right song. I glanced up. "Aya, what about..."

The words died on my lips as I watched her. She wasn't doing anything special. Just smiling to herself as she wiped up this, swept up that, picked up the empty glasses. But... I don't know why... My heart started pounding so loudly in my chest that I was sure she could hear it. I couldn't take my eyes off of her... It was almost like she had a spell over me that no matter how mundane the task, I just couldn't look away.

"What about what?" she asked, turning to look at me. She raised an eyebrow. I shook my head to clear my clouded mind.

"Nothing. I know what to do."

I turned back to the CDs and pulled one out. I popped the disc into the machine and picked up the microphone.  Aya grinned as the song began.

"Hey, you're like my boyfriend anyway," I sang. "Won't you become my lover?"

Aya began dancing a little as she cleaned up, swaying her hips to the beat, twirling a little as she walked by me to put the dirty dishes in the sink.

"Hey, more than anyone else in this world, I have confidence in loving you."

"Apparently it's Fujimoto night at karaoke?" Aya commented, walking back into the room. I reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Why did you stop me?" I asked, setting down the microphone as the music played behind me.

"You're missing your cue," Aya mused. "What do you mean? When?"

"When I was talking to Yossy on the balcony," I replied, looking into her eyes. Aya sighed.

"Because she doesn't need to know."

"She deserves to know the truth!" I protested. "I lied to her and - "

"You've caused enough damage for the two of them as it is," Aya cut me off. "They've gotten past it. They've worked through it and moved on."

"But - "

"But nothing. Don't reopen their old wounds just to make yourself feel better."

I looked down at my feet and said nothing.

"Hey," Aya reached out and gently touched my cheek. I looked up. "You want to do the right thing - which is a wonderful and rare trait nowadays. But sometimes you have to do the wrong thing for the right reasons."

"Yeah..."

"It wasn't your fault." I looked away. Aya took my face into her hands and looked me straight in the eyes. "Maki. It was not your fault. You were drunk, she was drunk. These things happen."

"But I..."

"You're a human being. You're allowed to make mistakes. You're allowed to screw up and have regrets. Don't ever forget that, ok?" Her eyes searched mine. I wanted to cry, to curl up in her arms, to lose myself in those eyes.

I cleared my throat and straightened up, turning away as I blinked away the tears that had started to form. She smiled.

"Your song's almost over." Aya turned to walk away. I swallowed hard. It was risky. I was scared out of my mind. This could ruin everything. And I said I'd never do it again. I swore to myself!

But...

I reached out and touched her shoulder, turning her back around to face me. I cupped her face in my hands and kissed her gently.

"Maki..." she murmured when I pulled away.

"Hey, you're like my boyfriend anyway," I sang along softly. "Won't you become my lover? Hey, more than anyone else in this world, I have confidence in loving you."

She stared into my eyes and bit her lower lip.

"Hey, you're like my boyfriend anyway," I continued, my voice starting to shake. "You knew about everything. Hey, I want to feel your kindness - "

Aya's soft lips cut me off. She wrapped her arms around my waist and pulled me close. I moved my hands, tangling my fingers in her hair, as I turned my head to deepen our kiss.

PART 36
AYA - SEPTEMBER 25TH

I sighed and glanced over at the bar. Lazily, I let my eyes wander all over the lone figure at the counter. The stylish clothes, clinging in all the right places... The toned muscles briefly making themselves known as she picked up her drink... The charming smile flashed at the bartender...

Maki glanced over her shoulder and caught my eye. She winked at me and turned back to her drink.

"You know?!" my date exclaimed. I shook my head and turned my attention away from my gorgeous girlfriend and back to the woman in front of me.

"I'm sorry, what?" I asked, taking a sip of my iced tea. My date laughed and began prattling on about whatever it was she was talking about. Honestly, I'm not even sure she knew.

I managed to keep my eyes focused, but my mind wandered back to Maki's side. I knew she hated this. I wanted to be with her now, to reassure her, to remind her why we were doing this.

We were scared.

Stupid Miki. She hated Gocchin so much and so irrationally. I mean, as far as Miki knew, Maki had never done anything to her!

...well, other than slap her that one time...

But every time I mentioned Maki, Miki would get this weird look on her face, her lips would get tight, and she would stop talking.

And considering how strangely protective Miki could be of me... and how she had Maki in a choke hold against a wall not too long ago...

And, it's not like us keeping it from Miki was hurting anything. It's not like we were sleeping together yet, so Miki still was stuck with that ridiculous bet she'd made me. ...and I was still stuck with these ridiculous dates she sends me on...

"You know!?" my date exclaimed.

"Of course," I smiled weakly, still completely clueless as to what she was talking about. I tilted my head and studied my date for the evening. She always reminded me of a horse. I'm still not sure why... Maybe it was something to do with her teeth...?

"Oh well! At least the food was good, neigh?" she laughed loudly.

"What!?" I exclaimed.

"...I said 'At least the food was good, ne?'...?" she looked at me in alarm.

"Right. That 'ne'... right. Um.. Speaking of food, are you almost ready to order?" I asked, trying to ignore the strange thoughts in my head.

"Well, I'm wondering what this gratuity dish is and why smaller parties can't get it."

"Excuse me?" I stared at her. She leaned over and pointed at my menu. "Um. That says gratuity is included for parties of 8 or more."

"Right! Why can't we get that dish?!" she demanded. I gaped at her for a moment.

"Um... maybe it's a large dish," I said finally, trying not to laugh. She seemed satisfied with this answer. "You know, Mai, I didn't even know you liked women," I said finally. Satoda looked up at me in confusion. "I always thought you were straight..."

"Oh, I am! 100%!" she smiled. "People sometimes think I'm not because of Yoshiko, though." My jaw dropped. There was a loud crash behind us. I turned and saw Maki leaning heavily against the bar, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

Damn her and her good hearing. I turned and gestured for the waiter.

"Check, please."

------------------------------

EDIT - Gratuity is the tip that's given to wait staff at restaurants. A lot of places have that sentence printed at the bottom of their menus. I realize now that it's not a worldwide practice, but I'd already written this, so... ^^;

I FINISHED IT. ...2.5 years after the last update XD

Ok, so the epilogue is kinda shitty, but I did what I could. I suddenly figured it out while in the shower and today is the WORST possible day for me to have this happen since I have to get ready for work and we have a HUGE client meeting.

My muse has a wicked sense of humor.

So, here are the last few parts that I never posted, plus the epilogue. Also, I swear to God I wrote more but I can't find it (dammit).




PART 37
MAKI - OCTOBER 5TH

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and checked to make sure I hadn't missed a message.

Nothing...

I peered over my menu at the dining couple at the next table. Smiling, happy... pleasant conversation, a sparkle in the eye... they looked like the ideal couple

...this was not good.

I drummed my fingers on the table and checked my phone again as a gentle peal of laughter drifted over.

This was very not good.

I glanced down at my watch. 30 minutes.

I glared over my menu at them. THIRTY minutes?!

I grabbed my phone and typed out a quick text message.

I sat back in my chair and waited, staring at them.

Aya jumped a little and reached into her purse to pull out her phone, smiling apologetically.

I glared harder. You have nothing to apologize for, I wanted to yell over.

A slim, manicured hand reached across the table and gently grasped Aya's arm. Rika smiled and murmured a few words before releasing my girlfriend. Aya flushed and put her phone back in her purse without reading my message.

My eyes narrowed. This called for drastic measures.

Slowly, careful not to draw attention to myself, I stood up from my seat. Then, quickly, I ducked behind a passing waiter and went into the restroom.

I counted to ten before cooly walking back out into the restaurant. I looked over at Aya and Rika's table and gasped.

"Aya! Rika!" I exclaimed, walking over to them. "What a surprise!" Aya stared at me like I was insane.

"Gocchin..." Rika said quietly. "If you don't mind - "

"Joining you? What a great idea!" I smiled broadly, taking a chair from an empty table and pulling it up to theirs. I sat down and grinned at them. "So, what's good here?"

"...uh, well, um, let's see, what did I have..." Aya stammered, still staring at me like I'd grown a second head.

"Aya, it's ok," Rika said calmly. "I'll handle this."

I raised an eyebrow. Excuse me?

"Maki, Aya and I are actually in the middle of a date," Rika explained quietly.

"Oh, was it going well then?" I asked with a tinge of annoyance in my voice.

"Maki!" Aya hissed.

"Very," Rika smiled. My eyes widened in disbelief as she reached across the table and picked up Aya's hand. "In fact," Rika continued, gently caressing that soft, precious hand. "We were just about to discuss the possibility of... dessert." Rika smirked and brought a blushing Aya's hand towards her lips.

Before I knew what I was doing, I had snatched Aya's hand away from its predator. Rika raised an eyebrow.

"Aya doesn't want dessert," I snapped.

"I don't know," Aya giggled. "I'm not quite full...."

"What are you in the mood for?" Rika purred, leaning forward.

"Hmmm..." Aya looked thoughtful.

"Like I said before, Gocchin," Rika smirked, reaching across the table and grabbing Aya's other hand. "I'll handle this."

"Ok, you want dessert? Let's get dessert!" I exclaimed cheerfully, waving the waitress over.

"May I have my hand back, please?" Aya asked, looking extremely amused. I flushed and quickly dropped her hand.

"Your wish is my command," Rika said smoothly, pressing her lips to the top of Aya's hand before gently releasing it. I glared at my new rival.

"Can I get you anything else?" the waitress asked.

"Can I get the strawberries and cream, please?" Rika asked.

"Of course. And for you?" the waitress asked, turning to Aya.

"Oh, we'll be sharing," Rika smiled sweetly. The waitress nodded and walked off to fill the order.

"What no, Purin?" I asked snidely.

"Don't you have some boys to touch?" Rika shot back.

"Ladies," Aya scolded. "Let's not fight. There will be enough dessert for everyone." My jaw dropped and I stared at Aya incredulously.

"I don't really like to share something like that!" I exclaimed.

"Oh, Gocchin's greedy?" Rika smirked. "I rather enjoy being... giving."

"Nothing wrong with giving, but I don't give away what's mine." I replied, glancing over at my Aya.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but at this point, I don't think you have anything to give away," Rika retorted. I glared at her.

"Maki," Aya warned softly. Rika glared at me.

"Here we go! Strawberries and cream!" the waitress exclaimed perkily, setting the dish down in the center of the table. "Can I get you... anything... else...?" she trailed off and stared at my glare battle with Rika.

"No, thank you," Aya said kindly. The waitress nodded weakly and made her retreat.

Without breaking eye contact with me, Rika reached down and picked up a strawberry. She smiled sweetly at me before dipping it in the whipped cream and turning to Aya.

"Say ah~," Rika sang, holding the berry out.

"She can feed herself!" I snapped, making Rika jerk her arm.

"Look what you've made me do!" Rika complained, putting the strawberry down and gesturing at the whipped cream on Aya's chin. Rika slowly licked her lips. "I guess I'll just have to clean that up myself...."

"THAT'S IT!" I exclaimed.

"Maki..." Aya hissed at me.

"No! No, I am not going to sit here while Rika propositions you every five seconds," I said to Aya. "I was fine rescuing you from the insane dates your supposed 'best friend' sent you out on. But this...! No." I turned to Rika. "Aya is MY girlfriend and you need to back the hell off. So drop the shitty Mr. Moonlight impersonation. If you so much as touch her again without permission, you are going to have a black eye to distract from that giant chin of yours. Got it?"

Rika's jaw dropped and she gaped at me.

"We're leaving." I grabbed Aya's arm and quickly escorted her from the restaurant.

"Maki?" Aya asked quietly a few minutes later when we were safely in the back of a taxi. I winced. I was in for it.

"Yeah..?" I asked nervously. Aya grinned.

"What's for dessert?"

------------

PART 38
RIKA - OCTOBER 5TH


"No! No, I am not going to sit here while Rika propositions you every five seconds," Maki snapped at Aya. "I was fine rescuing you from the insane dates your supposed 'best friend' sent you out on. But this...! No." She turned to me, her eyes blazing. "Aya is MY girlfriend and you need to back the hell off. So drop the shitty Mr. Moonlight impersonation. If you so much as touch her again without permission, you are going to have a black eye to distract from that giant chin of yours. Got it?"

I stared slack-jawed in disbelief at Maki. I couldn't let myself process what she had just said. I was being pushed to my limits as it was.

Maki grabbed Aya by the arm and hauled her out of the building. The door shut behind them. I slowly counted to ten and pulled out my cell phone.

"Hello?" she answered. I smiled. I could hear the tension in her voice. This whole ordeal had been exhausting and she just wanted it over.

"This is Agent Ishikawa reporting in, Commander," I said seriously. There was a snort of laughter on the other end.

"What happened?"

"As Commander Fujimoto instructed, I took out the target, Ms. Matsuura to dinner at a moderately priced restaurant," I replied.

"Rika..." she sighed.

"Commander Fujimoto also instructed that I treat Ms. Matsuura to the worst date I could manage," I continued.

"...but?" she said hopefully after a moment.

"But," I grinned. "As you requested, I ignored Commander Fujimoto's orders and instead attempted to literally charm the pants off of the fair Ms. Matsuura."

"And?"

"And I was making very good headway into my mission, however I was suddenly interrupted by rebel forces."

"Rika, stop being an idiot," she sighed. I laughed.

"Like you wanted - Maki got pissed, came over, declared Aya as hers, insulted me, and dragged Ms Matsuura out of the building," I replied.

"YES!" she exclaimed loudly.

"That was my ear..." I groaned.

"Sorry."

"Anything else Agent Ishikawa can do for you, Commander?" I grinned. She laughed.

"No, Agent. You're released from duty. Thanks a lot."

"Any time," I replied.

"And, um... not a word of this to Miki, ok?" she said nervously.

"My lips are sealed," I promised.

"Thanks again."

"Glad to be of service, Yocchan. I will be returning to the Viyuden Corps then. I'm really in the mood for some dessert..."


--------------------

PART 39 - MIKI
OCTOBER 6

I flopped down across the couch while Yocchan did some sort of interpretive cleaning dance. She had been obsessively listening to the same few songs for two straight days now in preparation for an upcoming dinner show. She knew the damn things backwards, forwards, and upside down by now and seemed to be a little slaphappy this morning.

I looked at her critically for a moment.

"...was that the Sexy Boy dance?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. She whirled around and wiggled her fingers in my direction.

"The Ue Ue goes with any song!" she declared dramatically before turning back to her dusting. I just shook my head and flipped through a nearby magazine.

"CHA CHA CHANCE! MUTEKI NO IKIOI DE!" blared suddenly from the kitchen. Yossy and I exchanged glances.

"I've been doing Heisei all week," Yossy said slowly. I sighed and dragged myself to my feet.

"What idiot taught Koharu to change ringtones anyway," I muttered.

"That would have been you, dear," Yossy replied. "You thought it would be a funny way to torture Sayu."

"Ah, yes..." I grinned. "Good times." I flipped open my phone. "What?" I answered.

"Always lovely to speak with you as well, Mikitty," Aya replied dryly.

"AYA!!!! WHAT A SURPRISE!!!" I squealed in a fake perky voice. "Better?" I said in my normal monotone.

"Much," she sighed.

"So how was the daaaate?" I asked with a knowing grin.

"Oh, it was fine..." she replied distractedly. I froze.

"...fine?" I repeated. Was Rika that bad at acting like the date from Hell?! "What do you mean 'fine'?"

"I need to tell you something..." Aya said in a weird voice.

"...oh my God, you slept with Rika!?" I exclaimed. Yossy dropped the stack of magazines she was holding.

"WHAT!?" Yossy yelled. I winced.

"Geez, inside voice. The apartment isn't that big," I called over. She muttered an apology and bent down to pick them up. I walked over and smacked her ass before plopping back down on the sofa.

"What the hell would possess you to say that!?" Aya snapped in my ear. "Need I remind you that YOU are the one obsessed with sex, not me."

"Mm, we'll see," I muttered. "So, what then?"

"I... I've been seeing someone," Aya said quietly.

"What?! Who?" I exclaimed. My carefully laid out plans!! All for noth-

"...Maki."

I may possibly be the greatest mastermind known to man.

"Maki?" I repeated, trying to sound casual. "Goto Maki? Makira Makira?" Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Yossy looking over at me with interest. I waved her away in an 'I'll tell you later' gesture.

"...yeah," Aya replied.

"I never pegged you for a boob girl, Matsuura," I grinned.

"...that's it?" she said in a strange tone.

"What?"

"You're not going to flip out and rant about how she almost broke you and Yossy up?"

"I don't 'flip out' that easily," I replied.

"HA!" Yossy's short laugh burst out from the other side of the room. I turned and glared at her. "...sorry," she muttered.

"So... you're ok with this?" Aya asked slowly.

"Absolutely!" I enthused. "Although..."

"Yeah?"

"I am wondering... How are you able to kiss? With all that boobage in the way, I'd imagine you'd just bounce off one another..." I mused.

"Miki!"

"I do want to know when exactly this happened, as I find it very unfair that you've been holding me to a bet that I already won," I smirked.

I could hear Yossy open our bedroom door. ...I really hope she doesn't see that pile of clean laundry next to my bed I've been meaning to put away... for a week... or two...

"You didn't win," Aya laughed. Huh?

"...come again?"

"I said I was seeing her," Aya replied. "I didn't say I was seeing her naked."

"...WHAT?!" I yelled.

"...ok, I *had* an ear..." Aya groaned.

"Sorry," I dropped my voice. "Are you telling me that you haven't slept with Maki yet?"

"That is correct."

"But, but... but why!?" I sputtered.

"Because there's more to a relationship than just sex," she laughed.

"But... but that's... I mean that's true, but... but why!?" I felt like I was going to cry. My plan had worked perfectly, but Aya the Prude wasn't budging.

"Because we're not ready to take our relationship to that level yet," she replied calmly. "If you're ready to admit that you're obsessed with getting laid, I'd be more than happy to - "

"I'm not!" I snapped.

"Then enjoy your cold showers," Aya chirped sweetly.

"Bitch," I muttered.

"Learned from the best," she retorted.

"You suck," I grumbled.

"No, I don't. That's why I'm winning the bet," she laughed.

"GAH! I HATE YOU!" I yelled.

"Love you too, 'Tan," she replied.

"...Bye," I muttered.

"Bye bye~"

I hung up the phone and walked into the bedroom. Stupid Aya with her stupid non-libido. She needs therapy or something. That's just not right. ...stupid.

I froze.

Yossy was standing in front of the bed, completely naked with a happy expression on her face. I sighed and shook my head. Her face fell.

"...not?" she said sadly.

"Not," I repeated, plugging my phone into its charger.

Yossy threw a blanket over her head and gave a wordless yell of frustration before marching into the bathroom - blanket still on her head - and turning on the shower.

I began hitting my head on the wall.

Stupid Aya.

----------------

EPILOGUE - SEVERAL WEEKS LATER

"Goto Maki graduation!" the TV announcer announced in that cheerful, yet serious tone that they always have. Miki absentmindedly flipped through the channels.

"Bath's free," Yossy announced, wandering into the living room while towel drying her hair.

"Maki's graduation was finally announced," Miki replied.

"Finally, geez..." Yossy plopped down on the couch next to Miki.

"I can't believe they tried to pull that 'break up or else' crap on her and Aya," Miki laughed. "They really should have checked the contract expirations before doing that."

"Well, maybe they've learned their lesson now..." Yossy trailed off at Miki's expression.

"Idiot."

"What can I say, I'm an optomist!" Yossy laughed, throwing her towel on Miki's head.

Miki cackled, whipped the towel off her head, threw the remote to the floor and started smacking Yossy with the towel.

"Who are you, Hetare?" Yossy laughed. Miki paused.

"...Hetare?!" Miki exclaimed.

"Yeah, that witch person you played in - "

"Hectate," Miki deadpanned.

"...oh."

"Hectate."

"...sorry," Yossy said sheepishly.  Miki sighed and went to put  the towel away.

"Yocchan, stop leaving shit on the floor!" Miki yelled from the bathroom.

"Ah! Oh hey! Miki! Your boyfriend's on TV!" Yossy called loudly, hoping to distract her girlfriend.

"Huh?" Miki walked in and started laughing. "Shouji! I haven't seen him in ages. I need to call him up."

"Should I be jealous?" Yossy grinned.

"He's really nice and funny - you should come with me to meet him," Miki replied.

"Well, he is an awesome beard," Yossy laughed. "Maybe we can convince him to donate if we ever have kids."

"...k-k-k-kids?!" Miki sputtered. Her eyes glazed over and she stared into space with a dreamlike expression. "I think I'd like a boy first, and then a girl... "

"...uh, Miki?"

"...of course that's not for a couple years..."

"Miki?"

"...and I'd have to get married to Shouji so the media doesn't freak out...." Miki trailed off and continued staring into space.

"...Miki, your face is creepy."

And now I must sprint to get ready for work.

OMG. WHAT? NO. ILU!

(Hey, capslocking is kinda fun. I see the appeal.)

Thank you!! You've really made my day. I think a small part of my enthusiasm for Fanon Mikitty died a little when I saw pictures of the baby. I love her still, but you know- it's hard writing her when canon is in your face like that.

No harm in omakes even though the story is officially epilogued (hint)

Thank you so much for this. I loved this fic the first 4 times I read it, I still do now. *off to reread from scratch*

Wow, it's finally over.  :shocked

It may take a while for the appropriate emotions to show up, hopefully not as long as this final update.  :P

For a moment, I thought Rika was reporting to Mako-chan after her date with Aya abruptly ended. (How the hell did I remember Mastermind Mako-chan after 2.5 years?)

Miki-sama planned for Aya and Maki to hook up all along? GENIUS!!!  :twothumbs

The epilogue may not have been your finest work, but it's still amusing. Blame Yossui for implanting the idea for Miki to get married to Shouji and having a son.  XD

Still the biggest question left.....who won the bet and when did YoMaki finally get back to having sex all the time?
