@kuro: You could look at it that way lol I guess I should have explained it more >_>
I guess my writiing is worse than I thought
But Family Secrets is supposed to be a kind of messed up family life from the point of view of 4-year old Aika. Their mother died giving birth to her, which is partly why Sayu is such a bitch to her. But the other twist is that Sayu's mother really isn't who she think she is. The woman that comes is Sayu's real mother, and the father is trying to shield Sayu from knowing that she has a different mom.
Yeah...I could have done a better job with making that all less subtle.
Anyway~ this is another fic that I actually really like for some reason.
Enjoy and PLEASE COMMENT!!! Just because I'm a lazy writer doesn't mean I don't appreciate reading everyone's input!

Aki Urara“Mou, Jun~~~”, Tanaka Reina whined cutely from her perch on the barstool up against the cool granite counter. Her pale legs dangled like a child’s from the seat and her head rested on her hands as she watched her girlfriend prepare dinner.
Initially, Reina didn’t care much for the tall Chinese girl at all. The fact that she had a hard time understanding the jumbled, beginner’s Japanese pissed her off, as attempts at conversation often left the younger frustrated and annoyed. But the longer the two foreign exchange students were in Japan and talking with the others, the better they became. That was what allowed Reina to see the real JunJun…and allowed the latter to capture the heart of the former.
“Yes?”, JunJun replied, looking up from finely chopping green onions. Her skills with a knife were nearly flawless and so was her cooking ability. The pair went out on dates, of course, but on the inside, Reina’s favorite thing was to stay home at JunJun’s apartment and have the girl cook for her.
“I want a kiss”, the smaller Japanese girl pouted, her lips pursing as she looked into her girlfriend’s eyes. She grinned a little to herself, knowing that she had the advantage because her lover couldn’t resist her cuteness.
Sure enough, the older walked over and planted a gentle kiss on Reina’s ready lips. “You know I love you, Reina-chan”, JunJun smiled and quickly went back to her preparations.
“I know but still…stupid work doesn’t give us much time for each other”, the 20-year old grumbled, “The only time we can really spend time together is on weekends.” Reina hated that the two had to save their dates for days that began with the letter ‘S’. She couldn’t stand only briefly embracing or sneaking kisses from her lover during work.
Sure, the other girls knew about their relationship and didn’t mind at all, but management…now that’s a different story. In order to hide it, JunJun and Reina were forced to meet up secretly, and regularly dined out with the rest of the girls to avoid suspicion.
“Hai, done!”, JunJun cried out triumphantly, bringing a bowl of steaming gyoza to the counter, followed by a neatly formed mound of fried rice. She sat down on a stool next to her girlfriend and scooted closer.
“You’re such a dork, Jun”, Reina rolled her eyes, “Itadakimasu…MMM!” The gyoza was piping hot and burned her mouth a little. But the tender, chewy skin filled with juicy pork, green onions, cabbage and garlic were worth the scalded spots.
“Where did you learn to cook so well, babe?”, Reina asked, her mouth full of shrimp fried rice.
“My mom, mostly, but I became interested after taking cooking class in school”, the Chinese beauty replied, “It’s kind of my hobby” She smiled as she took a bite of gyoza, her eyes shimmering with happiness.
That look gave the younger chills, scooting closer to the counter, her skirt sliding up a little. “Nee, Jun…do you like cooking for me?”, she asked softly, the end of her chopstick poking at a pink shrimp. Somehow, she couldn’t look up at her girlfriend. She had just asked a question that had been gnawing at her for weeks…whether the woman she loved really enjoyed doing things for her.
JunJun stopped eating, her eyes stopping on Reina’s bowed head. “Reina-chan…I-I…of course I love to cook for you”, she answered in a slightly confused voice, “I love to do everything for you, Reina-chan…because I know it makes you happy”
“But do you REALLY?”, the smaller of the two asked again, her tone showing doubt and a little annoyance. Reina was never good at neither hiding her emotions nor properly conveying them, so her current agitation was evident.
“Reina-chan…I just said that I do, don’t you believe me?”, asked an even more perplexed JunJun. She was used to Reina’s moodiness for the most part, but it still threw her off on occasion. “Baby, is there something wrong?”
The 6th generation member hesitated before speaking again. “I love you, from the bottom of my heart…and I-I know I can be…well, less than easy to handle…”
Reina’s words were cut off, her mouth covered by JunJun’s. A kiss of love and reassurance. A kiss of passion and longing.
Pulling back, the 8th generation member replied, “I love you too, Reina-chan” Her arms wrapped around the thin, pale body in her grasp, pulling closer. Reina’s short black skirt brushed against her equally bare legs. “You’re the most important thing to me, baby”, she whispered, her face gently pressed against Reina’s ear.
JunJun effortlessly lifted Reina up, cradling her against her chest like a small puppy, and carried her out to the veranda. Reina’s bare feet touched down on the cold concrete, quick to maneuver her body in order to lean against JunJun’s taller frame. “Nee, look”, she smiled, “The sky…it’s beautiful” An endless carpet of deep blue dotted with tiny, far-away stars.
The elder grinned as well, pointing out that the sky looked nearly exactly like it did a few months earlier, when she had taken Reina on a surprise date in Okinawa. JunJun’s heart had melted that night, just seeing the look on her lover’s face.
That alone, made everything worth it. As hard as keeping the relationship a secret could be, every smile and laugh that Reina made during their time together was worth it.
“Jun?”
“Hmm?”
“Let’s go on a little trip next weekend. Somewhere outside of Tokyo, away from the city”
“Sure, anything you want”
“And Jun?”
“Yes?”
“I’m glad I got to see you tonight”
“Me too, baby, me too”

ReinaJun FTW!!!
