Title: Kokoro no Uta ~Mainly TakaGaki, TanaKame~ [COMPLETE - EXTRA: Ch. 101 - (12/1)]
Post by: SarangAi on June 18, 2010, 11:40:17 PM
Hmm... yeah, so I'm new here XD

I was looking for somewhere to post my fanfic and I found... well, here  :nervous

So yah, I've always been writing but this is my first FanFic  *WOOT*  :cow:

So Here's a quick Summary (Original Ver.) + Summary (Character Ver.)


Summary (Original Ver.)

Niigaki Risa is a composer who believes every song has emotions and feelings of someone.  She believes every song has a purpose. 
When she gets a chance to meet the famous pop-idol group, High-Queen, she immediately seizes the opportunity to bring out her songs to the world through their voices. 
But what exactly is the relationship between her and the leader of High-Queen?  What happened to her best friend, Eri, and why is she acting weird?


Summary (Character Ver.)~ this should be more in depth
Meet Niigaki Risa, a composer who writes songs that can contain human emotions.  She is constantly reminded of her forgotten friend, and the dream they shared as children…

Meet Kamei Eri, a fashion designer who had to give up her first love for the sake of her cousin.  She is constantly abused by a High-Queen member even while she has a girlfriend.  She is someone who seems like she has no happiness in her life, yet she stays strong.

Meet Takahashi Ai, an idol singer in the group High-Queen who has a voice that can touch one’s heart… while she doesn’t even understand her own.

Meet Tanaka Reina, the second member of High-Queen who doesn’t believe in “bonds” such as love or friendship because of her past relationship that went wrong.

Meet Michishige Sayumi, Eri’s spoiled cousin and a patient in a hospital who has a weak body but a witty mind.  She’s been in love with Risa ever since they met and will do anything it takes to get her.

Meet LinLin, a college student who is striving to be a chef.  She is Eri’s underclassman who always admired her and asked to be her girlfriend.

Meet JunJun, a college student majoring in music to be a pianist.  She falls in love with Sayumi at first sight when she goes to the hospital for a benefits concert.  She wishes for Sayumi’s happiness, even if it means hurting herself.

Meet Mitsui Aika, a high school student who is Reina’s ex-girlfriend.  After 3 months of dating, she broke up with Reina for an unknown reason.


And... a TRAILER (cuz trailers are ALWAYS the best part)  And the subtitles are REAL (as far as I know) 8)

Wow, really interesting start. I'm looking forward to the first chapter already! A little EriLin in there, too? Pretty rare.

Btw, I love the trailer, a lot of the sound bites I recognized, but not the one's where Risa, Eri and Ai are crying and Sayu's line. A graduation, perhaps? And Lin's line: I wanted to see you again, so I came back

Oh! This fic seems really interesting and promising! I can't wait to read it! I'm getting excited and happy thinking about reading it! XD *tries not to jump in my seat* Im curious to how the fic will turn out. You have interesting characters in there. I like how they're different and they each have their own thing they went through in life. The trailer is really good too! The way you put in the quotes and voices makes it really good and is a nice touch. I don't think I've seen a trailer like that so that's why I like it more. ^__^ You did a good job. I'll keep a look out for the fic. Even if I don't like TanaKame anymore. XD

Oh I forgot! You know I had the idea of making Linlin a chef too in a fic of mine I've made, but have not posted in a very long time. XD So it will be interesting to see how you write her. Since I picture her as one INTERESTING chef. XDDD

^ You don't like Tanakame anymore?! Le gasp!

NOW  XD :cow:


Here's Chapter 1 everyone~ It's a little bit boring but I feel it's a necessary start to get the character development/relationships/introductions going.  I'll be posting Chapter 2 tomorrow right after so nobody gets too Un-hooked :D

Enjoy~


Chapter 1

   The sunlight pierced through the curtains to bring down rays of light onto the light green bed sheets.  The girl in bed twisted this way and that, trying to find a way to keep the sunlight away from her.  After realizing she had failed miserably, the girl proceeded to sit up on the bed, and ran her hand through her ruffled light brown hair. 

   After checking the clock, the girl lay back down in hopes of going to dreamland again but as soon as her head hit the pillow, her cell phone on her bedside table started to blare out the newly changed ringtone: “Subete wa Ai no Chikara” by High-Queen. 

   The brown-haired girl grumbled as she felt around the table for her phone, grabbed it, and held it by her ear as she pressed a button.

   “Moshi-moshi…” the girl answered in a hoarse voice.

   “Risa-chan! You’re still not up yet?” The already high-pitched voice flew up another octave at the second sentence.

   “I’m wondering, is there absolutely any valid reason for you to call my cell phone when you’re right downstairs?” Risa groaned, still not fully
awake.

   “I have eggs and bacon on the stove, I can’t leave it,” the voice squeaked.  “More importantly, you’re still not up, are you?”

   “I’m up, I’m up...” Risa answered in a tired voice.

   “When I say ‘up’, I don’t mean ‘awake’.  I mean, ‘did you get your butt off your bed’,” the high-pitched voice said coldly.  Risa could practically hear her rolling her eyes.

   “Mou, Eri-chan… I thought you were my childhood friend, not my mom,” Risa complained.

   “Well, I certainly hope I’m not your mother because I wouldn’t a fully grown 22-year-old daughter who still can’t wake up by herself,” Eri shot back. 

   “Or with the alarm clock,” Risa added.

   “You’re not making this situation any better for yourself, you know.”

   “I know, I know.”

   “You have ten seconds before I charge into your room, Risa-chan,” Eri said in a playful voice.

   “You wouldn’t,” Risa gasped as she jumped off from her bed.

   “Ichi… nii…. san…”

   “Uso, uso!  Matte yo, Kameha, just wait a second!” Risa desperately yelled into the phone as she started to busily run around her room. 

   Having Eri in her room was the last thing Risa needed.  She was always on a fashion rage, that girl Eri, which is understandable considering she was a fashion designer.  But whenever she noticed Risa didn’t get dressed yet in the morning, she would start to whip her hands around, in and out of Risa’s closet, trying to find the perfect outfit.  Some days, Risa would turn out beautiful, like a model.  But on other days when Eri overdid it, which was the case most of the time, Risa would look worse than a circus lion.  She preferred not to take the risk of letting Eri touch her clothes.

   “Shi… go… roku…”

   By this time, Risa was attempting to brush her teeth, pull up her jean shorts, and apply makeup, all at the same time.  She somehow managed to succeed, although she had to apply her lip gloss over and over again because she kept on missing her lips.  She dashed to her desk and grabbed her notebook full of songs and cell phone from her desk and threw them into her mini backpack. 

   Risa was a song writer, a composer of modern songs.  She would write songs that meant something to her or to other people, songs that could make people experience a different emotion.  She believed every song in the world had a purpose, whether it is to make one happy, sad, or mad. 

   “Shichi… hachi… kyuu…”

   Lastly, Risa yanked her brush through her curly brown hair as she grabbed her backpack.  She had a head band around her neck which she shoved through her hair on her head.  She reached for the door it suddenly burst open to reveal a pretty, light brown-haired girl.

   “Juu!” Eri shouted with a big smile.  As she took a look at Risa, smiling with her fingers held up showing a peace sign, Eri’s smile dropped into a pout.  Risa was wearing a yellow tank top with a short-sleeve cashmere sweater and jean shorts.

   “And I thought I was finally going to get to dress you today…” Eri pouted.

   “Um… Well there’s always another day,” Risa suggested nervously.  She didn’t want to accidently promise anything to Eri.

   “I guess so…” Eri sighed.  “Well, at least you look good.  Come on down, I made eggs and bacon.  We have to leave in 15 minutes, I promised to be there by 10 o’clock.”

   As Risa breathed out a sigh of relief, Eri skipped down the stairs into the kitchen.  Risa followed in and sat down at the table.  Eri twirled around with a plate full of eggs and bacon and placed it in front of Risa.

   “Douzo! Here you go!” Eri said, cheerfully.

   “Itadakimasu!” Risa replied.  She took a bite out of the eggs.  “Oishii!  Did you eat already?”

   “Yeah, because I got tired of waiting for someone to wake up,” Eri said with a smile.  “I thought you were really excited about meeting High-Queen, so I thought you would wake up earlier.  I guess I was wrong.”

   “Hey, habits are hard to change,” Risa contradicted.  “And I am excited.  I really am thankful you’re letting me follow you to work.  It’s great that your design got picked as High-Queen’s next single costume.”

   High-Queen was the biggest idol group in Japan at the moment.  It was a duo consisting of two girls, Takahashi Ai and Tanaka Reina.  They were the trendsetters in Japan; whatever they did landed on the headlines of magazines and newspapers, and their actions were soon followed by fans all over the country.  As a fashion designer, Eri was absolutely honored to hear that High-Queen’s management choose Eri as one of their official fashion coordinators.  This was the big break for her, a way of coming out to the world as a professional fashion expert. 

   Because Risa was a song writer, she was always looking for chances to make her own big break.  Since her best friend was now part of High-Queen’s staff, Risa saw this as her big chance.  She would tag along with Eri and try to get her songs noticed by High-Queen, and hopefully her feelings contained within her songs would be known by the world.  After all, High-Queen had amazing voices.

   “Yeah, I guess it is a pretty big deal,” Eri said, smiling.  “I’m really nervous about meeting them… I know that you’re going for your own job but I’m really glad you’re tagging along today, I need some moral support.”

   “Hey, what are best friends for?” Risa replied, smiling.  “I wish Sayu could come too… she would really love to meet High-Queen, wouldn’t she?”

   “Nah, she’s not interested.  She really has no interest in the world except for us, you know that.”

   “Yeah…”

   Sayumi was Eri’s spoiled cousin who was the same age as Risa.  She had a weak body so she practically lived in the hospital.  Although she seemed helpless on the outside, she was hot-headed at times, and cunning as well.  Sayumi, Eri, and Risa had always been together since childhood.  Eri and Risa had moved out together after college and had been living together ever since. 

   “Okay.  If you’re done eating, I think we should start to head out,” Eri announced.  “I don’t want to be late on my first day.”

   “Of course not,” Risa answered.  She grinned as she got up and put her empty plate in the sink.  “Iku yo!”

~~~~~~~

Like  I said, there's no real action yet~ it gets a bit more exciting in Chapter 2. 
Here was my reaction while I was writing the next chapter:  "RUN GAKI-SAN, RUN!!!" XD

Ha yeah~ I wouldn't say motherly figure.  Eri's not anymore mature in this story than Risa, except for the fact that she has a sick cousin she always checks on.  But I depicted Risa as an easy-going kind of girl; she has big dreams and determination but she's not the type to desperately want an extravagant life or something, you know?  So she's a bit more relaxed and sleeps in when she pulls an all-nighter writing songs =]

Here's Chapter 2!!!  Are the updates fast enough?  :thumbsup
This one's a little longer than chapter 1.  Here you will meet the main characters and their personalities (kind of)  8)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 2

   “Kameha, you’re hurting my hand.”

   “Gome.”

   The two friends were in the elevator of Down-Front Agency.  Eri was to attend the meeting at Room 905 to be introduced to High-Queen and their staff.  She was bobbing up and down while tapping her feet restlessly, much to Risa’s annoyance.  Her grasp on Risa’s hand loosened a little bit but it was still firm enough that Risa couldn’t slip out of Eri’s clutches.

   “Eri, you’ll be fine,” Risa reassured the nervous girl.  “Sure, you’re new but they must have picked you because they like you, right?  So don’t be such a nervous wreck and relax.”

   “Okay, I’ll try,” Eri croaked. 

   “… Kameha, my hand.”

   “Gome.”

   The elevator door slid open and Eri started to shake as if she was in the North Pole.  Risa just rolled her eyes and smiled at her friend, and led her out of the elevator and into the hallway.  They walked for a while until the two girls reached Room 905.

   “Ready?” Risa asked energetically.

   “Not at all,” Eri answered, gulping.

   “Great! Let’s go in!”  Risa reached for the door handle and stopped when her hands hit the cold metal, making a face.

   “Kameha, my hands.”

   “Gome.”

   The brunette finally opened the door to reveal a large room with a very long table and rows of chairs.  In there was about ten people, two of them standing out like shining stars in the night sky.  They all looked up when the door opened.  The man seated at the center stood up and offered his hand to Eri.

   “You must Kamei Eri-san.  I am Tsunku, the producer,” the man said, smiling.

   “Yes,  I’m Kamei Eri.”  The fashion expert smiled her beautiful smile, seemingly at ease.  Risa let out a breath of relief, which attracted the man’s attention to her.

   “And… may I ask who this is?”

   “Oh, um, she’s my friend.  She wanted to see what the DFA building was like, so I brought her along.  Is it a problem?”

   “Well, of course not.  But I prefer if she waits outside the room during the meeting.  I’d like to keep everything that goes on “behind-the-scenes” about High-Queen and the staff to be a top-secret, you see.”

   That made Risa’s memories click.  She was here to support Eri but also to get herself noticed!  She started to scan the room and immediately picked out the two beautiful idols, seating by the table.  The smaller girl had her curly highlighted brown hair partially tied up with a ribbon around it.  Her eyes flickered towards Risa and Eri, then flickered back to her nails, which caught Risa in a startle because she was expecting Tanaka Reina to give off a smile or a wave with her usual “Yappii!” personality.  But now, she seemed completely uninterested in the entire situation going on in front of her and her eyes were so cold.  “Maybe she really is a Yankii…”  Risa thought. 

   The song writer then started to focus on the older girl next to her.  After all, she was the leader.  Takahashi Ai had her hair loose and slightly wavy and was wearing a white t-shirt with a blue denim jacket.  When Risa decided to try to get her attention, she was surprised to find that the singer was already looking at her… no, she was staring at her.  Her eyes were opened wide and her mouth slightly ajar… an expression of shock or astonishment.  Risa immediately got drawn into her eyes and couldn’t help but stare back…

   “Risa, you’ll have to wait outside, I’m sorry.”  A high-pitched voice cut off Risa’s thoughts.

   “What, huh?”

   “I said you’ll have to stay outside.  Wait for me, okay?”

   “Oh, okay.”  As the door closed, Risa tried to lean in and catch a glimpse of the singer again, and found that the girl was still staring at her with a surprised expression.  Finally, the door closed and Risa found herself staring at the dark wood as if she still could see those deep brown eyes.

   “Why was she looking at me like that?” Risa wondered.  “I guess I kind of got caught up in the staring thing too but...”  Her cheeks suddenly started to feel hot as Risa imagined those deep brown eyes again.

**  **  ** 

   Eri quickly scanned the people in the room.  They all seemed friendly enough.  She suddenly felt really calm and belonging.

   “Everyone, this is Kamei Eri-san.   She’ll be working with all of you as High-Queen’s fashion coordinator since Tsuji-san retired to have a normal family life,” Tsunku stated.

   “Kamei Eri desu.  Yoroshiku onegaishimasu,” Eri greeted, bowing at a 90 degrees angle.  The various other staff members started to get up to shake Eri’s hand; the make-up artist, the hair stylist, the nail artist… all the staff members relating to High-Queen’s appearance stood up to greet their new co-worker.  But the most important girls didn’t stand up.

   “Takahashi, Tanaka!  Aren’t you going to greet your new fashion coordinator?” Tsunku said in a firm voice.

   Reina lifted her head to look at Eri.  There was nothing but coldness in Reina’s eyes, which made Eri shiver again. 

   “I hope you’re not as loud as Tsuji-san,” Reina warned.  “Yoroshiku.”

   “Tanaka, I’m glad that you at least act politely in public but I wish you’d be like that in reality as well,” Tsunku said.  Reina glared up at Eri as though she didn’t hear her producer, then went back to touching her nails.

   “Takahashi, are you okay?  Takahashi!”

   “Huh?  What?  Oh, sorry sir… I just spaced out for a moment.  I really didn’t get enough sleep last night,” Ai answered, startled.  She then composed herself and stood up to offer her hand to Eri.  “Nice to meet you.  I’m Takahashi Ai.  Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.”

   “Onegaishimasu,” Eri answered as she took Ai’s hand with a smile.  “It’s an honor to be able to work with you, Takahashi-san.”

   “No, the honor is all mine.  I’ve looked at your designs, and I really like them.  Please continue to create beautiful clothes for us, Kamei-san.”

   “Now then, I believe you High-Queen girls have a recording scheduled, don’t you?” Tsunku reminded.
   
   “Yes, we’re due at Song Fighter.  So if you’ll excuse us… come on, Reina.”

**  **  ** 

   The door opened to let out the two idol singers.  Risa immediately got up from her crouched position and met eyes with the leader of High-Queen as they walked past her.  This time, Ai stared but her face showed no emotions.  Risa stared back, completely forgetting her original plan to catch them and to offer them her songs.  Only after the “ding” of the elevator was heard, Risa came back to her senses and ran across the hallway, ignoring Eri’s shouts behind her.

   “Matte gudasai!  Wait!”

   But the elevator door closed a second too early for Risa.  She started to hit the elevator button over and over to no avail.  But she wasn’t about to give up.  After all, another chance like this may never come.

   She found the emergency stairs and ran down like a mad person, trying not to trip.  She could still hear the echoes of Eri’s voice shouting her name, but she didn’t care.  This was more than just giving High-Queen her songs.  This was about making her dreams come true, about releasing her thoughts and feelings to the world.  Feeling rushed, Risa started to skip three steps at a time while keeping balance by holding on to the rails.  She had never ran so fast before.

   After reaching the first floor, Risa flipped her head this way and that in an attempt to spot the two singers.  It wasn’t that hard considering there was a mob of reporters surrounding them and they were the only ones wearing sunglasses indoors.  She started to chase after them as the singers stepped outside.  When she reached the crowd, Risa pushed and shoved her way through the cameras and the reporters to finally be within hearing distance of High-Queen.  But Tanaka Reina was already inside the car as Takahashi Ai was about to get in.  Risa shouted in her loudest voice.

   “Takahashi Ai-san!  Matte gudasai!”

   At that moment, Ai stopped for a while, processing the unfamiliar voice in her head.  She turned around to face the song writer, despite the cameras flashing all around her; an action she would usually not do.  Risa talked fast.

   “My name is Niigaki Risa, I’m a song writer, please sing my songs!”  She shoved her notebook into Ai’s hands.  “Please, at least take a look at them!”  She had never felt more stupid in her entire life.

   Risa tried to get eye contact but that wasn’t happening because the celebrity was wearing sunglasses.  But Ai could still see her eyes, and all the sincerity and determination in them.  She smiled a little.

   “Okay,” Ai answered in an amused tone. 

   “Ai.”  Her partner’s cold voice rang crystal clear despite the loud commotion.

   “I’m coming.”  Then, the idol immediately slid into the car, shut the door, and drove away.  Risa stood at the same spot to stare at the back of the car as the crowd started to deform around her.  Then, she felt a hand on her shoulders along with the sound of unsteady breathing.

   “Risa-chan… what… why… you…” Eri huffed.

   “I gave her my notebook,” Risa answered in a whisper.  “I never planned to give her my entire notebook.  My entire life and work is in that notebook.  Do you know what this means, Kameha?”

   “But I… You… Okay, what?”

   “It means this is my first and last chance.  If Takahashi Ai doesn’t like my songs, it means she doesn’t like a single thing in that notebook, a single thing in my entire work.  And that means… I’m done for.  I just risked everything I had on one person.”

**  **  ** 

   A pair of long, slender hands slid across the cover of the blue notebook.  The owner of the hands smiled a little.  She was quite amused.  Nothing like this had ever happened before.

   “Ai, why did you do that?” the younger girl beside her asked.

   “Do what?”

   “Listen to her.  I know you’re the nice one in our group but I thought you were also the strictly professional one.  Professional idols don’t stop in the middle of cameras and flashes to accept an amateur song writer’s request.”

   “Well, I’m glad to see you asking me this because it means you’ve taken an interest in something.”

   “I’m being serious.”

   “I know.  When are you not serious?”

   “Do you know her?”

   “No…”  Her hands opened up to the first page in the notebook.  The heading read, ‘Shouganai Yume Oibito’.  “At least… I think I don’t.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope that was a little bit more enjoyable than Chapter 1  :)

There are so many characters that it still takes time for them to develop.  More entrances of new characters in Chapter 3 and 4!!!  :twothumbs


oh, and feel free to leave critiques on my writing.  I take them fairly well... :banghead:
... and they help me improve   :P

Chapter 1: Eri being the motherly figure caught my eye and just Risa being the childish one was quite a read

Chapter 2: I thought it was quite good, but was the "matte gudasai" purposely or that is how you learned it??? I would assume you know the word but just was worth asking, in any case it was a good chapter and Risa being nervous around the Ai

Tsuji! XD Oh god, I can imagine what their costumes were like before! Actually, Nono isn't a bad designer.

Reina, for some reason, makes me giggle. I'm sure it will wear off in the next few chapters. And I like the Takagaki interaction already. Can't wait for more!

The "hands" part was amusing :lol: But it's something I can see Eri doing to Risa and Risa's exaggerated expressions to that :lol:


The epic meeting between GakiKame and the High Queen XD It's just Reina & Ai in the group, I take it? I wonder why Ai was staring at Risa that way. Does she know Risa from before or has she fallen for the beanie's brown eyes at first sight :wub: But oh shit, Risa gave her entire works to Ai (with SYO too! One of my fav MM song!)


I just feel that you use a little too many Japanese words? I mean, the girls are Japanese and all that but try not to use them too often since majority of the readers are non-Japanese and may not understand more than simple Japanese phrases. Just a thought. But I'm enjoying the story so far :)


More entrances in the next few chapters? Sayumi! (yeah I'm crazy for the rabbit at the moment. She's so hawt irl :wub:)


E: Whaddaya noe? I got the new page lol

Yeah, it's because I write down whatever comes to mind and usually, the girls are speaking japanese in my head  XD
Thanx for the advice, I'll decrease my japanese usage  :P

we'll see....  8)

Chapter 3 is HERE~~   :cow:

First of all... apologies to Sayumi fans...   :kneelbow: for making her annoying and more importantly, EVIL  :twisted:
Think of it as her original poison tongue character being WAY exaggerated  :nervous

without further ado, here's the next chapter!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 3

   A pale-skinned girl with dark eyes was sitting on a bed, looking out the window.  She was in pink button-down pajamas with matching pants and her hair was loose and straight down her back.  The girl was waiting for a visitor who would hopefully and most likely ease some of the boredom in her daily hospital life. 

   Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, causing the girl to turn her head with an expectant smile.  The door opened and a brown-haired girl with a big smile poked her head in.

   “Risa-chan!” the black-haired girl exclaimed.  The brown-haired girl proceeded to come into the room, followed by another girl with a smile.  “Oh.  And Eri.”  The black-haired girl’s expression changed to that of apathy.

   “Geez, Sayu!  We all know you’re fond of Risa, but can’t you show a little bit more enthusiasm in seeing your one and only cousin as well?”  Eri complained.

   “Oh, I’m so sorry,” Sayumi replied sarcastically.  “Here, let me retaliate.  Oh, my dear, dear cousin!  How lovely to see you!  Better?”

   “No,” Eri said, puffing her cheeks.  “Your sarcasm makes your rudeness seem angelic.”  She stuck out her tongue.  Sayumi did the same.

   “Okay guys, let’s stop fighting,” Risa laughed.  “How are you feeling today, Sayu?”

   “Wonderful!” Sayumi answered, reverting to her angel character from the original poison tongue character.  “I was really lonely but now that you’re here, everything is a whole lot better.”

   “Now that we’re here,” corrected Eri.  “Come on, Sayu, I’m family.”

   “So what did you do today?” Sayumi asked, ignoring Eri’s comment.

   “We went to the Down-Front Agency building,” Risa answered, cocking her head, confused by Sayumi’s attitude.  “Eri is the idol group High-Queen’s new fashion coordinator.  We told you before, remember?”

   “You know I don’t listen to music,” Sayumi replied, “except yours, Risa-chan.”

   “And you don’t care about your cousin’s job either,” Eri said under her breath.

   “That’s exactly right, Eri!  Now you’re getting the hang of it!”  Sayumi clapped her hands together and smiled sweetly.

   “Ouch. I guess I should’ve seen that one coming.”  Eri smiled, trying to revert the conversation to a lighter tone.

   “Aw, is my honesty too much for you, cousin?” Sayumi asked.  Her eyes suddenly became cold and dark as she glared at Eri.  “Well then maybe you should leave.”

   Eri’s smile dropped into a scowl, realizing Sayumi wasn’t going to drop her devil character.  “You know what, Sayu—”

   “Okay!  Way too much hate going on here, maybe I should leave,” Risa interjected, holding her hands up between the two cousins’ faces.  But Sayumi grabbed Risa’s wrist and continued to glare up at her cousin.  Eri sighed.

   “I’ll leave.  I was planning on walking around town anyway.  For fashion research, you know?”

   “Okay, have fun,” Risa said.  As soon as the door closed behind Eri, Risa shot her question at Sayumi.  “Okay, what was that about?”

   “What was what about?” Sayumi asked innocently.

   “I know you have a poison tongue and you argue often with Eri.  But this time, you went too far!  You and Eri are usually just joking beneath all the arguments but today, you were straight-out attacking her.  Did something happen?”

   “No… I just… wanted to talk to you alone,” the black-haired girl squeaked, staring down at her hands. 

   “What did you want to talk about?” Risa sighed.

   “Just… Risa-chan, you know you’re my best friend, right?”

   “Come on, Sayumi!  Is that what you needed to talk to me about privately?  Is that why you practically shot down Eri with your words?”

   “I just need confirmation!” Sayumi quickly said.  “You don’t visit as often as you did before… and I get really lonely here…”

   “Sayu, I visit you almost every two days,” Risa said firmly, trying not to laugh.  “I think I visit you fairly often.”

   “Not often enough,” mumbled Sayumi.  Risa smiled at her childish friend and ruffled her hair.  “Stop it, Risa-chan, you’re messing up my hair!” Sayu giggled.  Risa laughed along and gave Sayumi a big hug.

   “Risa-chan, you know I love you,” Sayumi said in her most sincere voice.

   “I know, I know,” Risa answered, rolling her eyes.  “I’ve known since the thousandth time you told me.”

   “No, I really love you.”

   “Yeah, yeah, I love you too.”

   “Baka,” Sayumi thought.  “That’s not what I mean now, that’s not what I meant then, and that’s not what it’ll ever mean.  Even Eri knows; that’s why when I throw fits on purpose, she leaves because she knows I want to be alone with you.  But how do I make you realize…?

   “Um… Sayu… you’re hugging me a little too tightly—”

   “I’ll do anything for you, Risa-chan,” Sayumi interrupted.  “Anything to make you mine and mine only.

   “Well, that’s what friends are for, right?” Risa broke away from the hug and smiled at her seemingly innocent friend.  “I’ll always be here for you, Sayu.”

   Sayumi smiled.  “I’ll take that as a promise.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeahhh Sayu is SCARY.   :badluck:  I tried to make her as obsessive of Risa as possible, and willing to even murder to get Risa...  :kekeke:
maybe i should've made her even darker?   :ding:


Again, apologies to Sayumi fans if I offended you... Don't get me wrong, I really do love her poison tongue character  :nervous

I like it when one of girls is psychotically evil. It adds on to the drama and makes it hard to guess what is going to happen in the story. I wonder how Sayu will carry out her evil plans from her hospital bed...

Thank you for all the comments~~   :wriggly:
They really help to get me going  :cow:  :on gay:

So here's the result of all the encouragements: chapter four!!!  :on woohoo:

Another character introduced along with another love line!  :luvluv1:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 4

   Eri took a step out of another shop, feeling guilty once again.  She knew she had annoyed the clerk quite a lot; after all, she had touched and took notes on practically every piece of clothing in the store and then left without buying anything.  Since she had done this for a couple dozen stores lined up in the street, Eri was pretty sure she was famous around the area by now.  She always felt sorry but she had no choice; if she wanted to improve in her designing, she always had to keep her eyes open for the latest trends and styles.  And the best way to do that was to look around clothing stores at least once a week, observing combinations of outfits and accessories on mannequins. 

   But today, Eri felt guiltier than ever.  She had other things on her mind so she had picked up a shirt, touched it, spaced out, realized she was doing nothing but rubbing the cloth over and over again, put it down, and left with the store clerks’ glares down her back. 

   Yes, Eri had a lot of things on her mind: about her new job, about whether she can take on Tanaka Reina’s attitude, about whether she can match up to High-Queen’s previous fashion coordinator… but mostly about Sayumi’s fit. 

   Sayumi and Eri always argued because of Sayumi’s uncontrollable poison tongue but usually, when Eri started to joke around, Sayumi would also back down.  That was their way of friendship.  But today, Sayumi had glared at her and told her to leave.  Eri knew her cousin was sincerely in love with her housemate, and she always tried her best to get them together.  But Sayumi had always had a two-face personality and it was really starting to get on Eri’s nerves. 

   “I mean, she’s my cousin and I love her but come on!” Eri thought while walking into the next store.  “She doesn’t see anything but Risa-chan and one day, she’s going to fall down hard because of her narrow-mindedness.  And it’s not like I’m her servant or anything.  I didn’t have to walk out of that room just because Sayu glared; I walked out because I’m nice enough to give Sayu every chance she can get to confess over and over again to Risa-chan.  Yeah, that’s right.  She should be thanking me because I’m the nice one who always gave up stuff for her, even when we were little.  Yeah, that’s right.

   “Excuse me miss… are you going to buy that skirt?”

   “What?  Huh?” Eri looked up at the clerk’s annoyed smile, then realized she was, once again, rubbing a white skirt in her hands over and over again, causing wrinkles.  “Oh… um, no…”

   “Then please refrain from excessive physical contact with our products,” the clerk warned, her professional smile twitching.

   “Sorry…”  Then, Eri suddenly had a different thought.  “Why did I start helping her in the first place?  It’s not like it’s my job… well, I guess Sayu needs someone by her, since she’s always sickly and alone… and when we first met Risa, she was so happy to have another friend besides me… I guess that’s my reason.  But still, she’s so rude sometimes! Ugh, I don’t even know what to think anymore. Am I going crazy? Maybe I’m coming down with something… no wait, that’s not it.  Is it the heat?  Maybe ice cream will help—

   “Um, excuse me…”

   Eri looked up from the coat rack, realizing she was touching a jacket over and over again.  “Oh my gosh, I am so sorr—”

   “Oh, don’t worry, I’m not the store clerk.”

   Eri turned her head to face the girl next to her.  She was a short girl with light brown eyes and was wearing a white summer dress with a short-sleeve yellow sweater.  She had short brown hair that swayed near her shoulders. 

   “Um… could you possibly be Kamei Eri senpai?” the girl asked.

   “I’m Kamei Eri… but I’m not sure what you mean by senpai…?” Eri questioned, puzzled.

   “I am right!  You graduated last year from M University, right?

   “Uh… yeah.”

   “The one who graduated a year early because of extra credits, Kamei Eri senpai!”

   “Yup, that’s me… I think.”

   “M University’s most popular girl, Kamei Eri senpai!”

   “Um, sure…”

   “The beautiful turtle, Kamei Eri senpai!”

   “One the weirdest nicknames I’ve heard, but yes.”

   “The fashion expert, Kamei Eri senpai!”

   “Okay, I’ll take that.  Excuse me; may I know who you are?” Eri asked, still very confused and lost.

   “Oh, I’m sorry, excuse my rudeness.”  The cheerful girl was nearly shaking with joy when she offered her hand to Eri.  “My name is Qian Lin.  But everybody calls me Linlin.  I’m a first year in M University!”

   “Oh, I see,” Eri said, shaking the girl’s hand.  “That’s why I’m your senpai.  So are you also a fashion major?”

   “Oh no, I could never do something like that,” Linlin replied, shaking her head.  “I am in the home economics department, though.  I’m majoring in cooking.”

   “Oh I see, that’s good.”

   “I’ve seen you a couple times on campus when I went to visit M University back in high school,” the energetic girl babbled on.  “I always thought you were really pretty but then someone told me you were the Kamei Eri senpai.  I’ve always looked up to you, you are so good at what you do and you’re just simply amazing.  It’s an honor to meet you like this!”

   Eri smiled.  The girl seemed a bit all over the place but she was cute.  She had an accent and seemed to have a hard time talking without breathing, but she just kept on going, saying what she had to say.  She was very energetic and happy.

   “Um… if it’s okay with you, senpai, may I have your cell phone number?” Linlin asked hesitantly.  Then she quickly said, “Of course if you don’t want to, you don’t have to.  I mean, I understand if you prefer not to.  I mean, you shouldn’t have to give your number to a kouhai you’ve never met before, I mean—”

   “Okay,” Eri cut her off, smiling.  “I can give it to you.”

   “Really?” Linlin asked, her eyes dilating.  “Thank you so much!”

   Eri then handed her cell phone to Linlin, and the younger girl entered her phone number in, and then called herself with Eri’s phone. 

   “Um… is it okay if I occasionally text you?” Linlin asked again, hesitantly.

   “That’s fine,” Eri laughed.  She was very entertained.  The more she looked at Linlin, she seemed cuter and more innocent.  Being happy over something as small as being able to text her… Eri giggled to herself.

   Suddenly, the younger girl’s cell phone started to beep repeatedly.  Linlin checked her cell phone and smacked her forehead.

   “No way!  Oh my gosh, I completely forgot!”  She then proceeded to bow to Eri over and over.  “I’m sorry, Kamei senpai, I have to leave now.  I completely forgot about the lecture today!”

   “That’s fine,” Eri said, trying not to laugh.  “It was nice meeting you!”

   “Definitely, definitely!” Linlin replied, backing away to the door.  “Good-bye!”

   Eri waved at the girl until she crossed the road and disappeared down the street.  “She was cute,” Eri thought.  “A bit hyper but she seemed honest and lively.

   At that moment, Eri’s cell phone made a beeping noise.  She realized that she had gotten a new text message.  It read: I’m really glad I got to meet you today! Thank you for your number! --- Linlin.

   Eri smiled as she read the message.  Then she left the store and headed home, completely relieved of the stress that she had before.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I feel like I've brought a different Eri from a different planet...  :dizzy:

I kinda took a risk with KameLin paring too.  Pretty uncommon, huh?  :dunno:

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it!  :byebye:

Two chapters in one day!  WOOT  :cow:

I'm kind of going fast, aren't I?  :wahaha:  8)

This chapter should be a bit more interesting for all you TakaGaki fans  :twothumbs :onioncheer:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 5

   “Risa-chan, you’re hurting my hand.”

   “Gome.”

   The two friends were, once again, inside the Down-Front Agency building’s elevator, heading up to room 905.  Promotion’s for High-Queen’s most recent single, “Subete wa Ai no Chikara” was nearing its end.  Eri was told to attend the first meeting for High-Queen’s next single.  Nothing was planned as of yet, so High-Queen and their staff would get things planned as much as they could today.  This time, Eri was fairly calm as she had exchanged phone numbers with various other staff members, and already felt comfortable with them.  However, this was not the case for Risa.

   For the past week, Risa had been losing sleep, appetite, and self-control.  She would spend the night staring at her alarm clock until the morning sun rose.  She would take a bite out of her favorite food, then spit it out, saying it tasted like dirt.  She would space out in the middle of the day, even while walking, and would run into walls.  Eri had spent the entire week trying to prevent Risa from hurting herself.

   “Risa-chan, calm yourself,” Eri pleaded.  “I know you’re nervous, but you’re songs are great!  I’m sure Takahashi-san liked them.”

   “What makes you so sure?” Risa asked.  “My entire work… my entire career… depends on today…”

   “Risa-chan… my hand,” Eri groaned.

   “Well, now you know my pain from back then,” Risa snapped back.  Eri just rolled her eyes.

   Finally, the elevator door slid open and the two girls walked down the long hallway.  When they reached the meeting room, Eri grabbed the door handle without hesitation, stopped, then sighed.

   “Risa-chan.  I understand your pain now.  So can you please let go?”

   “Gome.”

   Suddenly, the door opened to reveal Tsunku, the producer.  He smiled.

   “I thought I heard someone outside,” he said.  “Come in, Kamei-san.  Your friend will have to wait outside again, I’m afraid.”

   “That’s fine,” Risa quickly replied.  But her words and action didn’t match.  She immediately leaned into the room and scanned for High-Queen’s leader.  But there was nobody in particular that stood out.  Risa nervously eyed Eri, and her best friend caught on immediately.

   “I don’t see Takahashi-san or Tanaka-san,” Eri questioned.  “They haven’t arrived yet?”

   “No, they haven’t,” Tsunku replied, scratching his head.  “Tanaka is sometimes late but Takahashi usually drags her here on time… We’ll wait a little longer.  Maybe there’s traffic.”

   “I see.  Risa, you should wait out—”  As Eri turned to face her friend, she immediately met Risa’s desperate puppy-dog face.  She rolled her eyes, then whispered, “Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.”  Without another word, Eri walked into the room and closed the door behind her. 

   Risa’s face dropped.  She slid down into a crouch position and buried her head in her arms.  She felt devastated.  Could Ai not have shown up because her songs were just that bad?  Immediately after she thought this, Risa felt stupid.  That couldn’t be, the Takahashi Ai wouldn’t miss a meeting to avoid meeting an amateur song writer like herself. 

   Suddenly, Risa felt a warm hand on her shoulders.  Startled, she flipped her head up to face a beautiful brown-haired girl crouched in front of her.  She was wearing a white blouse and jean shorts with matching white sandals.  Her long wavy hair was up in a ponytail and she was holding up her sunglasses by her forehead.  Her eyes were wide and filled with concern.  Tucked under her arms was a blue notebook.

   “Are you okay?” Ai asked in an alarmed whisper.  “I just saw you slip down and I thought maybe you weren’t feeling well… Do you need to go to the hospital?”

   “Uh... Um… I…” Risa stuttered.  This was it!  High-Queen’s leader was right in front of Risa with her future.  “Did you look at the songs?” she blurted out in a rather loud voice.  Ai quickly covered Risa’s mouth with one hand and put the other pointer finger by her lips.

   “Shh!  I’ve been waiting for you so I can talk to you in private.  Follow me!”  With that, Ai slipped her sunglasses back on, grabbed Risa’s hands, and pulled her up.  Then, keeping her grasp on the younger girl’s hand, the idol swiftly slipped into the elevator and punched the button for the top level of the building.  When the elevator door closed, Ai took off her sunglasses and planted them on her head.  She smiled at the still-confused Risa.

   “Mission ‘ditch the meeting’, success!” Ai laughed.  Then she handed Risa the blue notebook that was tucked under her arms.  “Here.  You can have this back.”

   Risa wordlessly took back the notebook into her hands.  She was still staring at Ai with wide eyes.  She was so confused.  Why isn’t Takahashi Ai at the meeting?  Why are they going up to the top floor?  What did Takahashi Ai think of her songs?

   “Um… Takahashi-san, why are we—”

   “Shh!  Someone’s getting on the elevator!”  With that, Ai quickly shoved on her sunglasses and skittered to the corner where Risa had planted herself. 

   The elevator door opened and a crowd of people, one of them the janitor with a big cart of tools and such, crammed into the elevator.  To prevent Risa from being squashed, Ai reached her arms out to hold on to the railing, cornering Risa.  Their bodies were close enough to seem as if they were hugging.  Risa blushed and looked down.

   “Takahashi-san, um, I can’t breath—”

   “Shh,” Ai whispered into Risa’s ear.  “Don’t say my name.  Just stay still… uh…”

   “Niigaki Risa.”

   “Right.  Niigaki-san.”  Ai chuckled softly and Risa felt her breath tickle her ear.

   The elevator bell’s ding indicated the exit of the crowd of people, including the janitor, and only then, Ai backed away from Risa and planted her sunglasses on her head again.

   “Close one, huh?” Ai said, smiling.  “This is kind of exciting.  I’ve never been missed a meeting before.  It’d be bad if someone saw me ditching, you see.”

   “So why are you ditching?”

   “So I can talk to you, Niigaki-san, about your songs.”  At that moment, the elevator door opened again to reveal the top floor.  Ai took Risa’s hand again and stepped out of the elevator.  Risa could feel the sun on her face and the cool air blowing through her hair.  Ai skittered around the elevator and sat down on the ground.  “It’s nice up here, isn’t it?”

   “Yeah… it is,” Risa answered.  She was a little bit calmer now.  At least Takahashi Ai didn’t seem to be upset about anything.  Maybe it was a good sign.

   “Um, Niigaki-san?  My hand kind of hurts…”

   “Huh?  Oh, sorry!”  Risa realized that she was pinning Ai’s hand down, and immediately let go.  Ai giggled at the flustered song writer.

   “So, about that,” Ai said, pointing at the notebook on Risa’s lap, “I really liked them.  I’ve heard a lot of unproduced songs but yours… said something more.”

   “I’m… not sure what you mean.”

   “I can’t really describe it.  Your songs were… honest.  It really came out and touched me.  There seemed to be more to the songs than what meets the eye.  Is there… some sort of story behind the songs?”

   “Stories…” Risa leaned back and looked up into the sky.  “There are stories, I guess.  Some more personal than others, but I would say the songs contain emotion.  I want the listener to feel what I feel and see what I see.”

   “That’s pretty incredible.  There were two songs I was most curious about.”

   “And they are?”

   “First page, ‘Shouganai Yume Oibito’.  Helpless Dream Chaser… the lyrics seemed pretty… sad.”  Ai looked at her companion to study her face.  Risa smiled a little but it was a sad smile, a painful smile.

   “Remember how I said some stories are more personal than others?  This is one of them.”

   “Oh… that’s okay.  I was very curious but if you don’t want to talk about it, you don’t have to.”  Ai smiled warmly.

   “Thank you.  Then the second song?”

   “This one,” Ai replied, flipping open the notebook on Risa’s lap and pointing at the page, “‘Everyday Everywhere’.  The lyrics are quite sad again.  It’s about a farewell, isn’t it?  Tell me about it.”

   “Ah.  This is kind of a personal one too…”

   “Niigaki-san, please give me some sort of answer,” Ai said firmly, making eye contact with Risa. 

   “It’s about a dear friend of mine,” Risa said, hesitantly.  She sighed.  “Things happened… and I lost her.  To this day, I still don’t fully understand why we parted.”

   “I can relate to that,” Ai said, quietly.  Risa looked at Ai as she turned to look back at her.  They both saw the same thing in each other’s eyes: sorrow, pain, regret.

   “Is it okay… if I suggest this song as High-Queen’s next single?” Ai asked.

   “I swore not to give my songs to singers who can’t properly bring out what I felt while writing this,” Risa said.  “But I believe you can, Takahashi-san.  So yes, please bring out my song to the world.”

   Ai smiled as she got up and offered her hand to Risa.  Risa grinned and let Ai help her stand up.

   “We should be getting back now,” Ai said.  “This time, you have to come into the meeting room and stay, okay?”  Risa nodded in response.

   The two girls started to walk back into the elevator.  On the way down, Ai abruptly turned around, placed her hands under Risa’s chin, and lifted her face up, much to Risa’s surprise.

   “You look thinner than last week,” Ai accused, “and a lot more tired.  Are you sure you’re not sick?”

   “Oh… um… I guess I haven’t been eating well recently.”

   “Why not?” Ai questioned.  “You shouldn’t do that.  I’m an idol but I still eat as much as want and then just exercise.  After this meeting I’m taking you out to eat.”

   “No, Takahashi-san, I’m really fine—”

   “I’m taking you out to eat,” Ai said resolutely, “and that’s final.  Okay?”

   Risa sighed and smiled.  She knew part of her was kind of happy that Takahashi Ai offered up this meal.  After all, it meant that she would be able to stay a little bit longer with her.

A bit more exciting I'd say, right?  :D  :nya:

Post by: SarangAi on June 23, 2010, 05:44:02 AM
First of all, Thank you for all the comments~~  :farofflook:
i'm still trying to figure out how to do the multiple quotes thing so I can't reply right away.  but I do read every single comment.  :inlove:

So, here's chapter 6!  This is primarily a TanaKame chapter.   :twothumbs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 6

   It was silent.  Dead silent.  Eri figured if she dropped a paper clip, she’d be able to hear it hit the floor.  And the floor was carpeted.  Oh yeah, it was that silent.

   Tsunku’s shuffling of the chair broke the silence as he got up from his seat.  “I think we’ve all waited long enough.  Neither of the girls are picking up their cell phone.  There’s a limit to even being late.  They’ve got to be in the building somewhere; I’ll go look for them.”

   “Oh no, Tsunku-san, I can go look for them if you want,” Eri offered, eager to be of help in anything.  All the eyes turned to her, confused and worried.  Tsunku also had the same expression.

   “Well… bringing Takahashi back won’t be a problem but… I’m not sure if you could handle Tanaka.”

   “I’m not sure myself,” Eri thought.  “It’s okay.  I’ll have to get to know them anyway, right?  Tanaka-san is a year younger than me, I’ll handle her.”

   “Well, suit yourself.”  With that, Tsunku sat back down as Eri got up and left the room.

   She looked around the hallway, searching for her friend.  “Where did she go? Did she go home?  Wait a minute; this isn’t the time to be thinking about this!

   She quickly paced towards the elevator and pressed the button to go down.  The elevator started moving from the 30th floor, the top floor.  “Who would go to the top floor?” Eri wondered.  “I wonder what’s up there. Maybe the scenery is nice.  I should try going up one day.”  Then she smacked her forehead.  “Focus, Eri, concentrate! Now’s not the time to worry about stupid things!  Now’s the time to worry about facing these singers!

   “Okay,” Eri thought to herself.  “Calm yourself, Eri.  Tanaka Reina is... intimidating but you’re a year older than her!  You can handle a diva like her.” 

   The elevator finally arrived and Eri walked in.  When the elevator started moving, she realized someone had pressed the button on a different floor because the elevator was going up, not down.  It stopped with a “ding” at the 18th floor.

   The elevator door slid open to reveal a short girl with two curly ponytails, bouncing by her shoulders.  She was wearing a black tank top with a lavender sweatshirt over it along with a short black miniskirt and black boots.  She also had sunglasses on and had a baseball cap planted her head.  As she walked in, she took off her sunglasses and hooked them on her tank top.

   “Tanaka-san!” Eri exclaimed.  “I found her already!

   Reina lifted her head to look at Eri, sighed deeply, and turned to leave the elevator.  Eri caught her arm and pulled her back in just in time for the elevator door to close.

   “Don’t touch me,” Reina said, glaring.  Eri immediately let go, intimidated by Reina’s aura.  But she quickly gathered herself again.

   “Tanaka-san, we’re going back to the meeting,” Eri announced, pressing the 9th floor button.

   “No,” Reina replied, simply and flatly. 

   “Well too bad, I’m dragging you there anyway.”  Eri finally felt like she had some backbone. 

   “I’ve been avoiding this for a long time; I’m not letting you change that.”  Reina walked over to the elevator button panel and pressed on the 10th floor button, and planted herself on that very spot.  She glared across at Eri who stood still at the back wall.  “What do you care anyway?”

   “It’s my job, Tanaka-san,” Eri replied, trying to get a flat intimidating tone like Reina.  She miserably failed and just spoke in her regular, high-pitched voice.  “You should be at the meeting.”

   “Don’t act like you know me,” Reina shot back. 

   “Then let me know you,” Eri answered back.  “We should get to know each other.  I’m not letting this job go; this was my dream and I’ve made it come true.  I’m not about to let anyone ruin it.  I would do anything to get you to that meeting.”

   The elevator door opened to the 10th floor but Reina’s eyes flickered back to Eri.  “Anything?”

   Eri thought for a while.  “Anything to make you do your job so I can do mine,” she rephrased. 

   Reina stared at the older girl for a while and smirked.  She pressed the button for the elevator door to close.  “Did I convince her?” Eri thought.

   But as the elevator started to move again, the singer took out a key from her sweatshirt pocket, pushed it into the elevator panel, and turned.

   The elevator suddenly jolted to a stop in between the 10th and the 9th floor.  Eri held on to the railings, scared and confused.  The elevator stopped shaking and everything was silent.

   “What are you doing?” Eri demanded.

   “Anything?” Reina questioned again, slowly walking over to where Eri was standing with the same smirk.  “You promise you’d do anything to get me to this meeting?”

   Eri hesitated, but she then straightened up and let go of the railings.  “Yes, anything,” she replied, determined.  “I promise.”

   “Well then,” Reina said, putting her hand on the wall, trapping confused girl, “let’s see where that promise is limited to.”

   Reina leaned in closer to Eri, who was now frozen.  She closed her eyes as their lips met, and the older girl’s eyes widened in shock.  So many thoughts ran through her mind.  “What’s happening?  Why is she kissing me?  I don’t get it!

   As Eri started to return to her senses, she put her hands on the idol’s shoulders and tried to push away.  But that only made the situation worse as Reina grabbed her wrists and held it against the wall, making Eri completely vulnerable.  She clenched her fists and shut her eyes as the offender lightly opened her eyes to watch her prey’s reaction.  As Reina slowly slipped her tongue in to her mouth, Eri’s eyes fluttered open again in shock.  She tried to move her arms but her predator was stronger than she looked.  Turning her head to the side was the best she could do to avoid the rough kiss.

   “Stop,” Eri huffed.  “I can’t… I can’t breathe…” 

   Reina only smirked and dropped her head to Eri’s shoulders to kiss her collarbone.  Eri jumped and attempted to break away again to no avail.  She could do nothing but swallow down every moan that was about to escape from her lips as her predator licked her skin. 

   Finally, satisfied with the pink spot that she had created on the older girl’s collarbone, Reina backed away and released her prey.  Eri’s legs gave out immediately and she dropped to the floor, trembling as she crossed her arms and held on to herself.  Her eyes were wide with fear and she dared not to make eye contact with the attacker. “My first kiss… my first kiss…

   “I’m holding on to your promise that you would do anything to make me do my job,” Reina said, looking down at her shaking prey.  She crouched down in front of the trembling girl. 

   “But if you want me to do my job...” Reina leaned in as Eri flinched, and whispered in her ears, “well, you’re going to have to work extra hard.”

   With that, Reina stood up and turned the key on the elevator panel and pulled it out.  The elevator rumbled and proceeded to move down again.  As the elevator bell dinged, the door slid open to reveal the 9th floor and Reina walked out without looking back.

   Eri stood up shakily, holding on to the railings.  “What just happened? Why did she kiss me?  What did I just get myself into?

So i morphed together what was supposed to be one-and-a-half chapter  :onionwhip:

I'll be updating REAL soon again.  :cow: XD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 7

   “So this is the song that I want to sing.”  Ai put down Risa’s blue notebook on the table to the open page with the music for “Everyday Everywhere”.  She looked around the room, daring anybody to meet eyes with her and disagree.  Tsunku seemed uneasy.

   “Takahashi,” he started, “I’m sure it’s a very good song and… um… Kamei-san’s friend—”

   “Niigaki Risa,” Risa interjected.

   “Right.  And I’m sure Niigaki-san did her best writing it.  But that doesn’t change the fact that she is a beginner.  I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to go with an amateur’s work for High-Queen’s single.”

   “Well, amateurs have to get their start somewhere, right?” Ai argued.  “Let’s make this her start.  I’m willing.”

   “Tanaka, what do you think of this song?” Tsunku asked, hoping the yankii would reject it.

   “I don’t care, just get this done and over with,” Reina replied, obviously annoyed.  She was sitting in her seat doing nothing but staring at the edge of the table.  Occasionally, she looked up to see her new fashion coordinator sitting across from her and smirked a little. 

   Risa observed this as she also noticed that Eri was slightly trembling.  Her eyes were wide open but she kept her head dropped down as if she didn’t want to show her face.  Risa wanted to ask her friend what was wrong but she was too distracted by the fact that her future was completely dependent on the current conversation between the idol and the producer, so she kept her lips shut.

   “Well, I’m glad you relate to the song, Takahashi.  But I’d like it better if your partner also has a say in this.”  Tsunku’s lips curved up a little.

   “Annoying old man,” Ai thought.  “It’s not like you’ve ever asked for our opinion before.  Of course we really didn’t care but…”  She sighed as she picked up the notebook and placed it in front of Reina.  The yankii girl glared up at her.

   “I said I don’t care,” Reina said.

   “Just look at it, Reina,” Ai whispered in a low voice.  “This is different.  You would want to sing it too.  Trust me.”

   Reina glowered at the leader a little longer but then looked down at the notebook.  Ai straightened up and turned to Tsunku, who looked as though he wanted to say something.

   “Takahashi, we have plenty of songs lined up for you girls—”

   “Chuck it.”

   “There are plenty of experienced song writers—”

   “Send them home.”

   “Takahashi—”

   “Tsunku-san,” Ai interrupted again, “I have a good feeling about this.  Reina and I’ve never failed you before, please trust us on this.”

   “I’ll sing it.”

   At that moment, everybody turned to look at the small girl who had spoken.  Reina closed the notebook and pushed it back to Ai.  She looked around the room, not happy about the way everybody was staring at her with astonished eyes; everyone except Eri.

   “What?” Reina asked, annoyed.  “I said I’ll sing it.”

   Ai smiled.  “I told you it’s different.  I know you better than you know yourself.”

   “That’s not true.”

   Ai ignored the last comment and turned back to her shocked producer.  “There you have it, Tsunku-san: both of our confirmation.  I assume we’ll carry on with plans for this song now?”

   Tsunku let out a deep sigh and smiled a little.  “I guess we could try.  But I don’t want High-Queen’s ratings dropping anymore then the level it’s at right now, Takahashi.  Keep that in mind.”

   “Don’t worry,” Ai answered.   Then she turned to offer her hand to Risa.  “Welcome on board, Niigaki-san.”

   Risa grinned as she took the singer’s hand.  “Thank you very much, Takahashi-san.  I hope to get along with you too, Tanaka-san.”  Reina said nothing in reply.  Eri cringed at the spoken name.

**  **  ** 

   “Oi, Kameha!  Wait up!”

   Eri turned around to face her friend dashing out of the DFA building to catch up to her. 

   “Kameha, are you feeling okay?  Did something happen?” Risa asked, concerned.

   “I’m fine, Risa-chan.  Why would you ask that?” Eri laughed nervously.

   “Let’s see, maybe because you kept your head hung throughout the entire meeting and refused to meet eyes with anyone?  Come on, Kameha, I know you.”

   “I... I just…”

   “Niigaki-san!”  The two girls turned around to face High-Queen’s leader, walking over with sunglasses on and a baseball cap pressed low on her head.  “I told you I’m taking you out to eat.  I am not sending you back without a decent meal.”

   “Yeah, you should go eat, Risa,” Eri urged.  She turned to Ai.  “This girl has been so worried that her songs will be rejected by you, so she hasn’t eaten or slept well these days.”

   “Oh, so that’s it,” Ai laughed.  “Well, I’m sure you can swallow something down now.  Let’s go.”

   “But Eri, are you sure you’re okay?”

   “I’m fine, I’m fine.  I think I’ll go home and lie down for a while though.  Maybe visit Sayumi on the way.”  Ai flinched at the name but neither of the girls noticed.

   “Okay then,” Risa sighed.  “Say ‘hi’ to your cousin for me.”

   “Will do,” Eri smiled.  She waved at the two girls and disappeared down the street.

   “Okay.  Shall we go, Takahashi-san?” Risa looked at Ai’s blank expression.

   “Kamei Eri… She hasn’t changed a bit,” Ai mumbled, staring down the path where Eri had disappeared.

   “What?”

   “Huh?  Oh, nothing.  I was just talking to myself.”  Ai’s original smiled reappeared.  “Shall we go?”

   “Yes but… I am still kind of worried about Eri.  She wasn’t like that this morning but after she came back to the meeting room with Tanaka-san…”

   “Next victim,” Ai whispered under her breath.

   “What?”

   “Huh?  Oh, it’s nothing.”

   Risa laughed.  “Takahashi-san, you’re acting a little weird right now.  Are you always like this?”

   Ai laughed along.  “Well, why don’t you get to know me better and find out?  Let’s go.”

@rndmnwierd: You'll see~~  ke ke ke... :kekeke:

Two chapters in one day!  At least in my time zone  :D

Next update!  Some good old TakaGaki sweetness  :wub:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 8

   “So how old are you, Niigaki-san?”

   “I’m turning 22 in October.”

   “So you’re two years younger than me.”

   Risa and Ai were sitting across from each other in a quiet restaurant.  Risa had a plate of ravioli in front of her, still untouched.  Ai sat across from her, not hesitating to eat her salad while questioning her companion. 

   The idol had decided they should get to know each other better and Risa had obliged.  The only thing that kept Risa from eating was that she was still awed by the fact that the Takahashi Ai was sitting across from her, buying her lunch, and wanting to know her better. 

   “Niigaki-san, I brought you here so that you can eat something,” Ai said.  “So I’d appreciate it if you eat your meal before it gets cold.  Unless you prefer something else.”

   “No, no, it’s fine.”  Risa stopped Ai just before she called for the waiter.  “I’ll eat.”  However, Risa still made no movement to touch her fork. 

   Ai seized a ravioli in Risa’s plate and popped it into her own mouth.  She chewed slowly, nodded, and swallowed.  “It tastes pretty good.  Here, try it.”

   Ai stabbed a ravioli with her own fork and held it out to Risa.  “Say ‘Ah’,” she said, smiling.

   Risa blushed as she reached for Ai’s fork.  “Um, I’ll eat it myself, Takahashi-san.”

   “Not a chance,” Ai replied, touching Risa’s hands before it reached the utensil.  “I have a feeling if I let you do what you want, you’ll probably just take the fork and put it down again.  So ‘Ah’.”

   Risa wrinkled her nose as she felt her cheeks getting hotter.  She opened her mouth reluctantly and Ai pushed the ravioli into her mouth.  She chewed and swallowed it with much difficulty because she was overly aware of the singer’s eyes on her.

   “What’s wrong with me?” Risa thought.  “Calm down, Risa.  Don’t be so nervous.  She may be an idol but she’s just a girl before that.

   “I think we’re getting fairly well acquainted, Niigaki-san,” Ai said cheerfully, interrupting Risa’s thoughts.  “May I call you something else?  No offense but your family name is a mouthful.”

   “Yeah, I know.  That’s why everyone calls me ‘Gaki-san’ instead.  Just Risa is fine too.”

   “I like the sound of ‘Gaki-san’.  I’ll call you that from now on,” Ai giggled.  “You can call me by my first name too.”

   “Then, Ai-san.”

   “Ai-chan is okay too.  I think I can consider you my friend now, right?”

   “Yes, we are friends!” Risa blurted out, sounding too much like one of those cartoon characters in a children’s television show where they sing about love and rainbows.  Then, she let her face drop a little.  “But… I still prefer to call you Ai-san.”

   “Oh.  Not that comfortable yet, huh?  Sorry,” Ai apologized.

   “No, that’s not it.  It’s just… um…”

   “If it’s something you’re not comfortable talking about,” Ai interjected, “it’s fine.  You can tell me when we become better friends.” She flashed that beautiful smile again.

   “Thank you, Ai-san,” Risa said gratefully.  “She’s such a nice person… She reminds me of  her... I wonder how she’s doing…”  She shook away her thoughts before she could dig too deeply into her own memories and started to pop one ravioli after another into her mouth.  Ai watched her intently with a sad smile.

   After Risa gobbled up the last ravioli, Ai proceeded to ask for the check.  Risa glanced at the receipt and commented.

   “EHHHHHHH????”

   “What’s wrong?  Are you okay?” Ai asked, startled.

   “Am I okay?  You just paid over $100 for my lunch!” Risa yelled, shocked.

   “Sh! This is a high-class place.  Please lower your voice, Gaki-san,” Ai pleaded.

   “Exactly my point!” Risa whispered back angrily.  “You didn’t have to bring me to this kind of place.  A fast-food place would’ve been fine.”

   Ai rolled her eyes.  “Well, I hadn’t had lunch either and I try not to eat food that’s too fattening…”  She watched Risa’s expression turn guilty.  “Okay, I’m sorry.  Next time, we’ll go to a more casual place.”

   “Does that mean there’s going to be a next time?” Risa thought, getting hopeful.

   “Let’s leave,” Ai said.  “We can take a stroll in the park across the DFA building.”

**  **  ** 

   “Ai-san, can I ask you a question?”

   “You can but I don’t know if I can answer it.”  Ai turned her head and smiled at her joke.

   The two girls had walked for a while but when they spotted a bench, they had unconsciously sat down and glued themselves to the seat.

   “Why are you being so nice to me?” Risa asked, her expression curious.

   Ai’s smile faded away.  “I’ve been asking myself the same thing,” she replied quietly.

   “What do you mean?”

   “I can’t really explain it,” Ai said.  “I feel… different when I’m with you.  I don’t want to flash off a fake professional smile to you.  I want to smile genuinely at you.  I don’t know why.  You make me feel… safe.  So I want to keep you happy too.  I feel like you’re too good for me, that I can lose you at any moment… and I don’t… I can’t let that happen.  I think I want to spoil you a little so you don’t run.”  Ai laughed nervously.  “This probably all sounds crazy to you.  I don’t know what’s with me either.”

   “It doesn’t sound crazy at all,” Risa disagreed, shaking her head slowly.  “Well, maybe a little crazy but I feel the same.”

   “You do?” Ai questioned, raising her eyebrows.

   “Yes.  As if I could lose you at a moment’s notice,” Risa said as she looked into the singer’s deep brown eyes.  “Just like I lost her.

   “Well, I guess that’s good,” Ai said, stretching as she got up from the bench.  “That means we’ll both do our best to keep our friendship going, right?”  She offered her hand to her newly made friend. 

   Risa smiled and let Ai help her up.  “Yes.  Let’s do our best together.”

Wow Ai has more secrets and knows more than what she lets on.

Tanaka liked the song. do I see a hint of Tanagaki?

“I can’t really explain it,” Ai said.  “I feel… different when I’m with you.  I don’t want to flash off a fake professional smile to you.  I want to smile genuinely at you.  I don’t know why.  You make me feel… safe.  So I want to keep you happy too.  I feel like you’re too good for me, that I can lose you at any moment… and I don’t… I can’t let that happen.  I think I want to spoil you a little so you don’t run.”  Ai laughed nervously.

@rndmnwierd: the answer isn't exactly in front of you... unless your psychic  :D
@Swtme03: Sorry, my torturous suspense isn't ending anytime soon... i'm such a sadist  :twisted:
@oddball: nope, no TanaGaki... there's another reason Reina liked the song  XD
@badsaints: good! Having a LOT of questions at this point is completely normal  :twothumbs
@kRisz: all your questions shall be answered... LATER  :twisted:


Again, thanx for all the comments!  :cow:
unfortunately, this next chapter isn't a TanaKame... sorry, I had already started on this before you all started commenting  :kneelbow:
But this chapter was VERY necessary... for another character!!!  :welcome

And the good news is, chapter 9 was supposed to be two chapters but in order to get to the TanaKame faster, I decided to morph it into one  :inlove:
If I'm lucky, I'll finish the next chapter fast enough to be uploaded tonight before I sleep... I feel like I owe you guys two chapters because I skipped last night  :badluck:

Anyways, here's the next chapter!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 9

   Eri pulled the curtains to the side and opened the windows to let in some sunlight and fresh air.  She breathed in deeply and turned around to face her cousin.

   “It’s really nice out today,” Eri said.  “You should go for a stroll in the garden.”

   “I already did,” Sayumi answered, holding up a small yellow flower with half the petals missing.  “Hence, the flower.”

   Eri sat own on the foot of the bed.  “So, what’s on your schedule today?”

   “The same,” Sayumi answered, her fingers lingering on one flower petail.  “Eat, check up, exercise… but I heard there’s some sort of music program thing today.”

   “Music program?”

   “Some college students from M University are coming to play their respective instruments.  One student per one room.”

   Eri laughed.   “So today won’t exactly be a happy day for you.  Considering you know nothing about music.”

   “Don’t rub it in, I’m already in pain,” Sayumi grumbled.  Eri smiled at her immature cousin.   This was the way their conversation should always go.  Sayumi would be rude and mean but Eri would stay nice and Sayumi would return to her childish self.

   “So… now that Risa-chan has the job,” Sayumi continued, staring at her flower, “does that mean she’ll spend a lot of time with Takahashi Ai and Tanaka Reina?”

   Eri flinched at the second name.  But she shook away the horrible memory and put on an awkward smile.  “Hey, how do you know the members’ names?” she asked.  “I thought you weren’t interested in music.”

   “I’m not,” Sayumi answered, smiling a little.  “But whatever they do involves Risa-chan now.”

   “Of course… I should’ve known.”  Eri put her arms around herself to stop herself from shaking too much.  She definitely did not want Sayumi to know about her own experience with a certain High-Queen member. 

   “Takahashi Ai…” Sayu mumbled, plucking one flower petal.  “She has the same name as her.  They look alike too.”

   “What?  Sorry, I didn’t hear you.”  Eri restlessly rubbed her arms as though it was cold.

   “Nothing.  Takahashi Ai is very pretty, isn’t she?”  Sayumi smiled sweetly at her visitor but Eri could easily see she was hiding something.  But she didn’t want to ruin the rare moment where their conversation wasn’t completely dominated by Sayumi’s poison tongue, so she kept her mouth shut.

   “Eririn,” Sayumi continued, plucking another flower petal.   “Is Risa-chan… showing interest in someone else?”

   “No.  You always ask me this Sayu, and the answer is always no.”

   “If there is someone…”  Sayumi plucked another petal, “You’ll tell me… right?”

   Eri smiled.  “You know I always try my best for you.  But I don’t want to force Risa-chan into anything either.  Just wait patiently; I’m sure she’ll see you as more than a friend soon.”

   Sayumi smiled innocently.  “Thank you Eririn.  You know, you don’t look so well today.  You must be tired; go home and rest.”

   “Yeah, um… I think I should lie down for a while.”  Eri stood up and walked towards the door.  Before she left, she turned around to wave at her cousin, and Sayumi waved back. 

   When the door closed shut, Sayumi turned back to her flower and held the last petal between her fingers.  Her smile turned into a glare. 
   
“If there is anybody else…” she said to herself, “I’ll just tear her apart from Risa, once again.”  She plucked away the last flower petal and smiled.

**  **  ** 

   “Here it is… room 713.”

   A girl stood in front of a hospital room and stared at the name card on the door.  She had long black hair with a braid sequined over her head like a headband.  She was wearing a black blouse and denim Capri pants with white sneakers.  Tucked under her arm was a small black stool; next to her was a keyboard on wheels. 

   “Michishige Sayumi… July 13th, 1989… She’s a year younger than me.”

   The black haired girl inhaled and exhaled.  Twice.  Then, mustering up her courage, she knocked on the door and pushed it open.

   As the door opened, the girl was blinded by the sunlight.  Then, she could make out someone sitting on the bed with her head turned away from the door.  There was a light breeze coming from the window and the patient’s long hair danced in the wind.  She slowly turned around to face her visitor, tucking away a strand of hair behind her ears. 

   The black haired girl’s eyes grew wider and wider.  She gasped softly.  There, sitting on the bed, was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen.

   “Beautiful…” the girl said, unconsciously.

   Sayumi smiled.  “I prefer the word ‘cute’ but ‘beautiful’ is not bad either, I suppose.”

   “Huh?  Ah, um, no, what I meant was—”

   “Don’t stutter like that, it’s bothering me,” Sayumi interrupted.  “Come in and sit.”

   “A pretty face but a harsh tongue,” the black haired girl thought.  She rolled her keyboard in and placed it at the foot of Sayumi’s bed.   She put down the stool and sat down.

   “My name is Junjun,” the pianist answered.  “Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.”

   “That’s a weird name,” Sayumi replied.

   “Well, my real name is Li Chun.  I transferred to M University from China.  Everybody calls me Junjun here.”

   “I see,” Sayumi answered, uninterested.  “I guess… play whatever you’re supposed to play for me.  But just to let you know in advance, I’m not a fan of music.”

   “That’s okay!” Junjun answered, raising her voice a little bit too high.  “I mean, not everybody loves music.  But, I mean, I love music, that is, uh… I’ll just… um… start playing now.” 

   Junjun turned red again.  “Wow, I must look like a real idiot,” she thought.

   “She seems like a real idiot,” Sayumi thought.  “I’m definitely not in the mood for this now.”

   Junjun quickly rubbed her hands on her jeans, trying to wipe off the sweat.  She carefully placed her fingers on the keyboard, and began.  She played her favorite song, Mariage D’amour.  Her fingers danced around the black and white keys while Sayumi stared out the window.  Junjun occasionally looked up from the piano.

   “Wow… Her skin is so white… and her hair looks so smooth…” Junjun swallowed hard.  “But… she looks so sad.  I wonder why…?

   “Risa-chan,” Sayumi thought, looking out the window, “you can’t leave me.  I can’t live without you.  I’m the one who needs you the most and you’ll need me too…

   The song was over before either of the girls realized.  Sayumi turned back from the window and looked at the pianist.  “It’s over, right?  You can leave now.”

   “Um… Michishige-san?” Junjun started, hesitantly.

   “What?”

   “Is there something bothering you?”

   “Why do you ask?”

   “I could feel it.  During the piece, you seemed very sad about something.  No, not sad… more like worried.  Yet determined, somehow.  I can’t describe it.”

   “Huh.  She’s not as stupid as I thought she was,” Sayumi thought.  “It’s none of your business, Junjun-san.  Have a nice day.”

   Junjun looked at the patient for a little longer, sighed, then got up.  As she wheeled the piano out, she turned around one last time.

   “Um, Michishige-san?”

   “What?”

   “Can I visit you again?  I won’t bring the piano.”  Junjun fidgeted nervously, afraid that she may be rejected.

   “Do whatever you want, I don’t really care.”  As long as Risa-chan keeps visiting, I don’t care who comes.

   Junjun smiled.  “Oh, and you can just call me Junjun.  I’ll see you next time!”

   The Chinese girl quickly escaped through the door before the beautiful girl could change her mind.

   “She speaks coldly because her heart is cold,” Junjun thought.  “I feel like… I can do anything to make her happy.  Is this what they call love at first sight?

   The pianist felt her cheeks getting hot again.  She decided she needed some cold water splashed on her face before she went back to her group of musician friends.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

***btw, Junjun actually DID play Mariage D'amour on the keyboard at the Junjun and Linlin fanclub event.***  :P

Next up: the much awaited TanaKame (and maybe a little TakaGaki)  :twothumbs

hope you enjoyed~  :byebye:

Some TakaGaki sweetness :wub: + more TanaKame with Reina's evilness... :twisted:
I took the action a little~ bit further this time... let me know what you think  :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 10

   “So I added the back-up vocals here, right before the chorus and at the chorus.”

   “I think that really does the song wonders, Niigaki-san.  I couldn’t have done it better.”

   The instrumental for High-Queen’s new single, “Everyday Everywhere”, was finally completed by Risa herself.  For the past two weeks, she had worked herself to no sleep and no food, trying to get the right mood into the song.  Tsunku had offered to help but Risa wanted to do it alone; after all, it was her first job and her first song to be produced.

   Today was the checking day.  High-Queen and Tsunku was to check up on how Risa was doing in her job.  Eri had tagged along because she was worried for her friend who had, once again, almost run into walls a couple times throughout the week.  They were all dressed fairly casually; shirts, sweatshirts, jeans, shorts, and sneakers.

   “Thank you, Tsunku-san,” the song writer answered, smiling.  She turned around to face the frowning leader of High-Queen, sitting at the sofa with Eri right next to her.  “What do you think, Ai-san?”

   “I love it,” Ai answered, still with a deep scowl.  “It sounds great, can’t wait to sing it.”

   Risa and Tsunku both raised an eyebrow at the leader’s facial expression that was contradicting her words.  Eri also looked at Ai in confusion.

   “Okay then…” Tsunku said, scratching the back of his head.  “Well, I’ve got a meeting in ten minutes so I’ll leave the rest to you girls.  It seems Niigaki-san already got the hang of things so I’m not worried.  What I am worried about is Tanaka not being here… again.  Kamei-san, you did well at bringing back Tanaka before, could you go find her again?”

   Eri’s eyes widened.  “M-m-me?”

   “Yes well, I think you even do a better job than Takahashi at convincing Tanaka.  I don’t know how you do it but keep at it.  I think you’re doing well.”

   Eri turned her head to Takahashi, who was still scowling at the song writer.  She turned her head to her friend for help but Risa already had her back to her, headphones on, tweaking around with a couple more modules on the sound booth control panel.  Eri bit her lips.

   “Alright,” she answered, standing up slowly.  “I’ll go get her.”

   “Great,” Tsunku said.  “Takahashi, learn the instrumental and sing it a couple times if you want.  Tell the same thing to Tanaka.”

   “Right,” Ai answered, not looking up.

   With that, Tsunku and Eri both left the room; Eri left a little more reluctantly.

   Risa was experimenting a little more with the sound control panel; she wanted to get completely used to it so she can hopefully be given the chance to make songs for High-Queen in the future. 

   Suddenly, she felt her headphones being taken off along with a whisper in her ears. 

   “That’s enough.  The song is fine.  Leave it.”

   Risa turned her chair around to face Ai who was still frowning.  She reached for the headphone in the singer’s hands but Ai pulled it away and placed it on the table behind her.  She reached her arms out and held on to the armrests of Risa’s chair, and leaned in close to Risa’s face.

   “You overwork yourself too much, you know that?” she said.

   “Ai-san,” Risa started, trying not to blush, “you don’t like the song?”

   “I love it.  But I also hate it.”

   “Um, you’re confusing me…”

   “I love the way it sounds, it’s your work, Gaki-san,” Ai explained.  “But I hate it because of what it’s done to you.  Look at you!  I fed you so you’d look a little less thin but you’re back to the way you were the last time we met.  Two weeks and all the dark circles and the cheek bones are back.  Do I need to check up on you everyday so I know that you’re eating and sleeping?”

   “That’d be really lovely… seeing Ai-san everyday…” Risa thought.  “No, Ai-san.  Okay, I’m sorry.  Maybe I concentrated too much on work.”

   “‘Concentrate’ doesn’t even cover it,” Ai answered.   She touched Risa’s face and traced her cheekbones, to below her eyes, down to her lips.  Risa could feel her face getting hot.

   “Next time, I’ll make sure that enough food goes through here to last you a week,” Ai said, smiling.  “But really, please don’t overwork yourself, Gaki-san.  I thought I was the idol and you’re even thinner than me!”

   “Ah… um… yes, um… I guess, uh… I’ll eat more… or something,” Risa stammered.  Ai’s smile was too close to her face that she couldn’t even think straight.  “Why is my heart pounding so hard…

**  **  ** 

   Eri briskly walked through the lobby to the main counter.  She kept her arms wrapped around herself, her hands buried in the sleeves of her sweatshirt. 

   “Um, excuse me?”

   “Yes?”  The lady at the front desk asked politely.

   “Could you make an announcement, telling Tanaka Reina-san to come down to the front lobby?”

   The front desk lady hesitated.  “Um, I’m not sure if you know this… but Tanaka-san isn’t the type of person to just show up like that.”

   Eri sighed.  She really wanted to do her job well, and Tsunku had asked her to do this.  She had no choice. 

   “Say that her fashion coordinator needs her,” Eri said.  “That should do it… I think.”

   The lady shrugged, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.  Soon, her voice asking for Tanaka Reina of High-Queen echoed throughout the building.

   “I won’t let her have her way this time,” Eri thought.  “Stay strong, Eri!  You have to use firm words to get her to go to the recording studio.  Don’t get cornered.

   “Excuse me, miss?  There’s a phone call for you,” the front desk lady said, holding out the receiver.  Eri took it and held it to her ear.

   “Hello?”

   “Are you really that stupid?”  A cold voice traveled through the phone.  Eri stiffened.

   “Tanaka-san, you should be at the recording studio right now.”

   “What made you think I’ll just walk down to the lobby?” Reina continued.  “I told you before; if you want me to do my job, you’ll have to work extra hard.”

   Eri swallowed and clenched her fists, despite her shaking legs.  “Tanaka-san, I’m not joking.”

   “Neither am I.  If you want me to go, you’ll have to come get me.  Room 405.”  The line disconnected.  Eri handed the receiver back to the front desk lady with trembling hands.

   “Did I just get cornered again?” Eri asked herself.  “No, not yet.  Just don’t go too far into the room, Eri.  That’s right.  Just leave plenty of space between you and Tanaka-san.

   Squaring her shoulders, Eri marched to the elevator and traveled up to the 4th floor.  She then walked fast down the hallway, counting the room numbers in her head.  She stopped in front of the room between rooms 404 and 406.  There was no number; instead, there was one word printed on the door in black letters: STORAGE.

   Eri gulped.  She slowly turned the door handle, pulled it open, and walked in.  She shut the door behind her, leaving her in complete darkness.  She felt around the wall for the lights with no success.

   “T-Tanaka-san?”

   Suddenly, Eri felt her body being slammed against the door and something covered her lips.  It moved quickly and roughly, not leaving any air for Eri to speak or breathe.  Eri reached out to the darkness and tried to push her attacker away to no avail.  Suddenly, the lights flipped on and Eri finally saw Reina in front of her, kissing her angrily.

   Eri pushed harder this time but Reina’s strong arms snaked around her waist into a tight hold.  She then swung the older girl around her and threw her down on to the couch located in the very back of the closet-like storage room.  Reina climbed on top of Eri, who had her arms tight around her chest.  Reina smirked as she touched her forehead with Eri’s.

   “You really are stupid,” Reina said.  “What were you thinking while you were coming here?  Or did you come because you actually wanted it?”

   “Stop this at once, Tanaka-san,” Eri ordered, trying to steady her voice.  “If I tell someone, you can get into big trouble.”

   “Do you even have the guts to tell anyone?” Reina laughed.  “Why didn’t you tell your dear friend, the song writer?”

   “… Risa has enough on her mind.”

   “So you thought you could come and handle me by yourself,” Reina said, her smile disappearing.  “Pathetic.”

   “Get off of me!” Eri shouted.  “You can’t make me stay quiet.”

   “I’m not as stupid as you,” Reina shot back.  “Most of the rooms on the 4th floor are storage rooms; people rarely come here.  Nobody can hear you.”

   With that, Reina pressed her lips to Eri’s again.  She grabbed her wrists and held it above her head with one hand.  Eri struggled but she already knew that her predator was stronger than her, and that she had lost.  She knew she was completely immobilized and there was nothing she could do about it.

   Reina’s free arms started to snake around Eri’s waist.  She slipped her tongue into her prey’s mouth and explored inside, causing a moan to escape from Eri’s throat.  Reina’s lips curved up a little, pleased with the victory.  Her hands now started to play around with Eri’s shirt and slowly traveled under it, up to Eri’s smooth back.  Eri turned her head and broke away from the forceful kiss.

   “No, stop!  I— umph!”  A small sound escaped from Eri’s mouth as Reina’s hands slipped under Eri’s bra hook, touching her sensitive spot.

   “You prefer I touch the front?” Reina sneered.  Eri shook her head madly.

   The singer removed her hands from under her prey’s clothing.  But she then proceeded to lift up the shirt to right below Eri’s torso.  She slid her hand over Eri’s smooth belly as she started to kiss her neck. 

   Eri kept her head turned to the side with her eyes shut tight, trying to keep all the moans and cries in without much success.  Her lips betrayed her multiple times, letting out her voice and cutting it off midway.  Reina just smiled, watching her toy blushing more and more.  She bit Eri’s ear, causing her to jump with a short, high-pitched cry, and got up from the couch.  She licked her lips and smirked.

   “That’s it for today,” Reina declared.  “You seemed to enjoy it a lot more today than last time.”

   “You… are a… very… cruel person…” Eri said in between sobs.  She pulled her shirt down and curled up into a ball on the couch.  Her entire body was trembling as she clenched her teeth.  Her mind was filled with fear and hatred for the girl who had just violated her.

   “Life is cruel,” Reina shot back.  “The world is filled with hate and betrayal; you can’t trust anybody.  Consider yourself lucky you still have that little friend of yours.”  With that, the idol walked out of the room and headed for the recording studio.

   Eri balled up even tighter and wrapped her arms around her knees.  Then, she released all her emotions, letting the tears stream down her cheeks
uncontrollably and cried out as loud as she could.

   In the hallway, Reina walked towards the elevator in a fast pace.  She pressed the elevator button.

   “That’s right.  Just cry by yourself.  Nobody is to be trusted in the world; all you can do is learn to accept cruelty and grow up.

Hopefully, that was a little bit more enjoyable than the last chapter?  :hee:

When I read the character description for Reina I thought she was going to act cold towards Eri initially, and begin to warm up to her as the story goes, or something. I don't really get why she feels the need to make victims out of random people just to prove her 'you can trust nobody' outlook. I mean, they only just met, wtf Reina  :huhuh I don't know who I can't stand more in this story, spoilt brat Sayu or sadistically cruel Reina. Whatever is that Eri does to Reina, it must be one hell of a change.

poor Eri from taking that from Reina, although Reina seems to have a cold heart but more from not letting anyone drag her down, although I worry about Risa, working hard but starving herself :(

Wooooo~! You update fast! <- It's great!  :thumbsup my story is almost rotting in the corner.. lol

C3. Evil Sayu!  :twisted: ain't she a little too mean to Eri? :( So is Ai-chan gonna suffer? haha.. she's always suffering in fan-fics~ I wonder why.. XD

C4. Ohhhhh... It's Lin2~ I personally thinks that Lin2 is as dorky as Eri...haha.. She came in like a tornado, bombarding Eri with all the questions and left...of cuz.. with her number~ haha.. Probably a good way to get numbers~ cause after the bombardment, they would be stun for a moment before just doing anything~ (probably to get rid of you too~ lol) I think it will be kinda funny to watch 2 dorky person together.. haha..

C5. LOL.. it's the hand thing again~ The plots thicken with the unknown past~  :huhuh

C6. promising Reina "anything" is dangerous~ and btw... i guess Reina does that often? I mean... why does she even have the elevator keys!? lol

C7.

“Takahashi, we have plenty of songs lined up for you girls—”

   “Chuck it.”

   “There are plenty of experienced song writers—”

   “Send them home.”

   “Takahashi—”

   “Tsunku-san,” Ai interrupted again, “I have a good feeling about this.  Reina and I’ve never failed you before, please trust us on this.”
- Give up Tsunku! haha.. and nice job Ai~! probably he had some songs that he wants them to sing  :P We all (out of their little fan fic world) knows that Risa's song IS his song~ XD

C8. Could Ai-chan be a childhood friend or something? Or is it just that the person Risa was thinking about looks like Ai. Awwwwwwwwwww...... you are not gonna tell me anything, are you? XD

C9. OK! GREAT! Jun2 is a very very x100 important character......she is probably gonna get Sayu so that she wun bother TakaGaki! LOL! but i guess it will be a long and bitter way... what if Sayu ends up dying! then...poor Jun.. :(

C10. TakaGaki - time for another lunch date! XD

TanaKame - ohhhhh... now you got me hooked on times when Eri had to "do her job" XD It can only mean one thing!  :P awwwww... Reina got a bad start in the industry i guess? the dark side of entertain industry? :(

^ Sorry it's all so short and summarize!  :(

Severly one-sided SayuJun, a little Takagaki warming up and a lot of Tanakame abuse. Gosh, this story has everything I want, it's like Christmas has come early! :w00t:

I have visions dancing in my head of Reina pushing Eri until she snaps and then becoming a victim herself. I'm not sure if it will work out that way here, but my mind has come up with some very interesting and quite surprisingly sadistic images.  :O :drool: :twisted:

^ Agreed :yep: I imagine Reina will push her luck a little too far til it comes to a point where Eri decides enough is enough and gives Reina a taste of her own medicine :P But that was hella hawt TanaKame scene :drool:

I don't see Reina as a bad or evil person. More like she wants to be seen as a bad girl. It is as if she's been burned and abandoned.

Sayu, on the other hand, hmm....

@aussie: there's a reason why Reina acts likes that.  but of course, whatever the reason, she has no right to act like the way she does now  :angry:  I think Sayu would be more annoying to you soon  :twisted:

@kurosawa87: yeh... I'm being real cruel to Eri :cry:  But as to Risa... well, maybe Ai can help her with that  :D

@amEthystx: ahh~ i love reading long comments.  Sorry, my comments not nearly as long as yours  :nervous  But you got one thing right about Ch. 8... I'm really not telling you anything  :twisted:

Thanks for all the comments~~~  you don't know HOW much they help (well, maybe you do)  XD :lol:

here's the next chapter~  If I work fast enough, you might even get another one by tonight  :P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 11

   “Eri, tell me what’s wrong!  The last time we came back from DFA, you acted the same way.  You have to tell me what’s up.”

   “I… I’m sorry, Risa-chan.   Just go home without me, I… want to be alone… for a while.”

   Eri shook off Risa’s hand on her shoulder and crossed the street to the entrance of the park.  Risa watched her disappear, and sighed.  Eri was acting really weird; she had succeeded in bringing Tanaka Reina to the recording studio but she herself had shown up a lot later, looking tired.  Risa started to think whether something happened between her friend and the yankii idol but Eri didn’t tell her anything.  And it wasn’t like she could ask Reina.

   The song writer sighed deeply and started to walk down the street to her own home.  She insisted on staying with High-Queen for the practice recording session but Ai had insisted she go home and rest.  She ran the day’s course of events through her head and blushed as her favorite idol’s smiling face appeared in her mind.  The ends of Risa’s lips covered up a little, as her walking slowly transitioned to skipping.

**  **  ** 

   A short, light-brown haired girl was sitting on the bench in the park across from the DFA building.  She was reading a large but thin book, and had a picnic basket next to her.  Occasionally, she wrote down little side notes on the margin of the book. 

   Then, she heard fast footsteps walking by her.  The girl’s head shot up and spotted her most admired upperclassman and inspiration stalking past with her arms wrapped around herself.

   “Kamei senpai!” the short girl exclaimed with a big smile.

   Eri stopped in her tracks and slowly looked back to where the familiar bright voice had come from.  She smiled a little. 

   “Oh, it’s you.  Um, Linlin, was it?”

   “I’m glad you remember,” Linlin said, ecstatic.  But then, she noticed something wasn’t right.  Eri was smiling but her eyes were bloodshot.  Her whole body was shaking and it wasn’t even cold.  Autumn had yet to come.  “Um, senpai… are you alright?”

   “Yeah, I’m fine,” Eri answered too quickly.  Now, Linlin knew something was up.  But she didn’t want to dig into the older girl’s business.  She instead took her hands and pulled her over to the bench, and sat her down next to herself.

   “I was eating lunch out here because the weather was pretty nice… at least it was,” Linlin remarked, looking up at the gray clouds rushing in.  “But I don’t think it’ll rain hard anytime soon.  That’s why I’ve been sitting here, looking at the newest cook book I got.  Take a look with me.”

   “Linlin, I’m sorry, I—”

   “I don’t know what happened, Kamei senpai,” Linlin interrupted in a serious tone.  “But if you stay alone and do nothing about it, it won’t help.”  Then, the tone of her voice changed back into the energetic sound.   “Oooh, look at this one!  They’re cream puffs, do you like cream puffs?”

   Eri really wanted to be alone.  But the younger girl looked at her with such expectant eyes that she couldn’t help but smile.  She nodded and the little chef’s grin stretched out wider.  She flipped to the next page.  A loud gasp escaped from her lips, and she froze.

   “Linlin, what’s wrong?  Hey, are you okay?” Eri waved her hand in front of Linlin’s awe stricken face.  She raised an eyebrow.

   “It’s… It’s…” Linlin stammered.

   “It’s… what?  Linlin, are you okay?” Eri asked, impatient.

   “It’s… It’s a… a…”

   “Linlin… what is it?”

   “It’s… a… CREPE!!!!!”  Linlin shouted, her voice flying up a couple octaves.  Eri could almost see tears of joy, welling up in Linlin’s eyes.  “Oh my gosh, this book has all different kinds of crepe recipes, look at this!”  She flipped through the pages in front of Eri’s eyes. 

   That was when it hit her; Eri just burst out laughing uncontrollably.  This girl was just too cute!  “I assume you really like crepes?” Eris said in between giggles.

   “Of course!” Linlin yelled excitedly.  “I love crepes!  It was the first dessert I tasted in Japan and it was the most delicious thing I had ever eaten!  Do you like crepes, Kamei senpai?”

   “Yeah, I like them,” Eri answered, still laughing.  “Probably not as much as you do, though.”

   “Nobody beats my love for crepes,” Linlin declared.  “Next time, I’ll make some for you, senpai.  We can have a picnic together before the weather gets too cold.  How about it?”

   Again, Linlin stared with those sparkling, expectant eyes and Eri couldn’t refuse. 

   “Sure.  I’d like that,” the older girl answered.  In less than five minutes, the younger girl had completely preoccupied Eri’s mind with her smiles and laughs.

   “Linlin… thanks.  You were right; I think this is helping me a lot more than staying in a corner all alone.”

   “Your welcome,” Linlin answered, grinning.  “Whenever you need some laughs, just call Linlin!” 

**  **  ** 

   Reina shoved on her sunglasses and walked out of the DFA building.  More gray clouds had appeared in the sky, so the idol started to dig through her large handbag for her umbrella.  She had decided to walk; she did not want to get involved with public transportation again.  She had felt too lazy to drive in the morning so she had taken a taxi to DFA.  The taxi driver had kept on babbling on and on about how much he loved High-Queen, so Reina had to keep up her idol face, smiling and nodding along.

   When she finally unearthed the umbrella, she looked towards the park by pure chance.  On the bench near the entrance, there were two girls talking and laughing together.  The idol immediately recognized one of them.  She shook her head and scoffed.

   “Pathetic,” Reina thought.  “That girl really is an idiot.”  She then popped her umbrella open and disappeared down the street.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So next, I got a little something planned that should confuse you all a bit about Reina  :panic: XD
hope you enjoyed~ :byebye:

@kurosawa87: I know, I LOVE crepes XD and yah, Linlin is pretty important here too  :P

@rndmnwierd: we'll see about that...  :)


Here's the chapter that should confuse all of you...  :dizzy:
I confused myself writing, i kep on asking myself, "Wait, why am i writing this again?"  :grr:  :nervous

anyways, here's the REALLY REALLY short chapter  XD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 12

   Eri ran down the streets, holding up her hands above her head to avoid the rain.  Of course, it didn’t help at all.  As the turtle stepped into a puddle, she slipped and fell to the ground.

   “Lesson of the day,” Eri thought as she picked herself up, “Never believe Linlin when she says it won’t rain hard for a while!

   She was definitely right about that; it was pouring so hard that Eri was already soaked from top to bottom.  She bitterly regretted not bringing her wallet with her to take a bus or a cab. 

   She ran for a little longer and finally found shelter inside a small pharmacy.  Most of the stores were starting to close; it was nearing dinner time and the sun was setting.  Eri was thankful that there was a 24-hour-running drugstore.

   She walked down the aisle, pretending to look for something to buy when she obviously didn’t have money.  She took out her cell phone from her pocket; it was drenched wet.  Eri rolled her eyes and pushed the useless item back into her sweatshirt. 

   “Isn’t today just the perfect day?” she thought sarcastically. 

   Eri turned into a random aisle and looked up.  Her eyes widened and gasped loudly; too loudly.  The person that surprised her looked up from the bottle of sleeping pills that she was reading.  Her cold eyes analyzed Eri’s facial expression change that went from surprise to shock to fear.

   Eri turned and dashed out of the store and into the rain.  She stood outside the store and wrapped her arms around herself to stop herself from shaking.  This really was a bad day; how could she run into Reina again

   “Should I run? I’ll catch a cold running in the rain like this… Should I go back inside?  She can’t do anything under the public eye… No, I can’t risk it.

   The bell of the door jingled as someone stepped out of the store.  Eri cringed, waiting for the cold voice, touch, anything.  But all she heard was a deep sigh and the sound of an umbrella opening.  Then, she heard a very annoyed voice.

   “You’re really an idiot, aren’t you?” Reina asked.  “Standing in the rain like this… you’ll get sick, you know.”

   “What does she care,” Eri thought, tightening her arms around herself.  “Is she going to… do that again?” 

   But the idol made no sudden movements whatsoever.  She just stood there, holding up the umbrella.  The silence scared Eri even more; she turned just slightly to look at Reina.

   “Aren’t you getting under?” Reina said, sounding very annoyed.

   “Getting under?  Does she mean the umbrella?  What’s she planning?

   “I’ve had enough of you today,” Reina continued, reading Eri’s frightened expression.  “Don’t be an idiot and get under the umbrella.  You’ll get sick.”

   “Now she’s actually… caring?  What’s going on?  I don’t understand!”  Eri inched away from Reina and turned away. 

   The idol exhaled sharply.  She closed her umbrella and yanked Eri’s hand towards her, taking her by surprise.  She then placed the umbrella in the older girl’s hand and leaned into her ear.

   “Because I actually have money for a cab, unlike you,” Reina said.

   Before the turtle could say anything back, the yankii quickly crossed the street, caught a taxi, and drove away.  Eri stood there, frozen, staring at the place where Reina had disappeared.

   “I don’t understand… What’s going on?  One moment she hurts me like that.  And the next, she’s worried that I’ll catch a cold?  Just what is wrong with her?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope that left some questions...  :D

I know it's really confusing but i'm gonna clear it all up for you guys, i promise  :thumbsup

Sounds to me like Reina doesn't want her little toy to miss work. Also sounds like the yankii suffers from insomnia. Sleeping pills? Nightmares, maybe? Guilty conscience? Definitely can't wait for more, I'm so hooked.

Post by: badsaints on June 27, 2010, 12:59:06 PM
I don't think the chapter is confusing at all :)

I maintain what I commented earlier that the badass attitude is just a facade Reina adopted to "protect" herself from getting burned again. So it was not surprising why Reina was nicer (in relative terms) to Eri at the pharmacy, since there is no real need for her to be cold at that point of time. But I wouldn't say Reina like Eri, at least not at this moment. It was more of a neutral feeling towards the turtle? But you might change that in the future XD In the meantime, more torture! :twisted:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 13

   “Michishige-san, you have to eat something.”

   “No!  I won’t eat until my friends get here!”

   Junjun wrinkled her nose.  She was trying to get Sayumi to take even a small sip of the miso soup but the spoiled patient had completely turned her head away to the side.

   “But your food’s going to get cold,” Junjun said.  “Your friends will still come even after you eat.”

   “No, I don’t feel like eating,” Sayumi snapped.  “Did you come here to nag at me?  In that case, maybe I should’ve told you not to visit.”

   Junjun put the spoon down on the food tray and sighed.  She was starting to learn more and more that Sayumi not only had a poison tongue, but she was also very spoiled and would be a big brat if she didn’t get what she wanted.

   “Why am I attracted to her again?” Junjun asked herself.  “Oh yeah.  The love at first sight thing.  Was that even love?”  The pianist put her hands in the air and stretched.

   “Okay, Michishige-san.  But you have to eat after your friends get here, okay?”

   “… Fine,” Sayumi grumbled.  She puffed up her cheeks and crossed her arms.

   “Ah, she’s so cute when she does that,” Junjun thought, smiling a little.  “I guess it’s these little things that are making me go nuts.

   Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.  Two girls stuck their heads in and grinned.  Sayumi’s pout turned into a big smile.

   “How’s our little Sayu today?” the girl with the curly hair asked.

   “Risa-chan!” Sayumi exclaimed.  “You’re finally here!”

   “Hey, hey!  What did I say last time about greeting only one person?” Eri said, grinning.

   “I know you’re here too, Eririn~”  Sayumi smiled.  “I was lonely today, I’m glad you’re both here.”

   The two girls turned their heads to the Chinese girl sitting on a stool by the bed.

   “Sayu, who’s this?  You… actually made… a friend?” Eri made a mock gasp.

   “Ha-ha,” Sayumi replied, sarcastically.  “This is the music program student that played piano for me.”

   “I’m Junjun,” the pianist said, getting up and offering her hand to Eri.  “You must be the two friends Michishige-san was talking about.”

   “I’m Kamei Eri,” the fashion expert said, taking Junjun’s hand.  “I’m Sayu’s cousin.  Thanks for coming to visit her like this; she’s always alone because she’s kind of rude.  I admire your patience with her.”

   Sayumi stuck out her tongue at her cousin.  Eri returned the same action.

   “I’m Niigaki Risa,” the song writer said.  “I’m Sayu’s childhood friend.  I hope we’ll be good friends too.”

   “Come on, Risa-chan!” Sayumi yelled excitedly.  “Come, sit on my bed!”

   So Risa took her spot at the foot of Sayumi’s bed.  Junjun and Eri sat next to each other on the stools next to the bed.

   “Michishige-san,” Junjun started.  “Now that your friends are here, you should keep your promise and eat.”

   “Sayu, did you refuse to eat again?” Eri asked in a stern voice.  Sayumi looked down at her hands, guilty of charges.  Risa rolled her eyes.

   “Come on, Sayu,” Risa said, scooping up a spoonful of soup, “you have to eat now.  Open up.”

   Sayumi smiled and gladly opened her lips.  Risa put the spoon into Sayumi’s mouth and she slurped away the semi-warm soup.  She smiled.

   “I think it tastes better when you feed me like that, Risa-chan,” Sayumi giggled.

   “Don’t be silly,” Risa replied, grinning.  “Here, open up again.”

   A smile automatically appeared on Eri’s face, watching this friendly scene.  Junjun sat frozen for a while, and a sad smile started to creep on to her face.

   “Ah…” she thought.  “This is the person Michishige-san is in love with…”  Junjun put her right hand over her heart, and looked at Sayumi’s smiling face.  “Her face is completely different than when she’s with me alone.  My chest… it hurts…

   “Junjun-san, are you okay?” Eri asked with a concerned face.

   “I’m fine,” the pianist answered with a sad smile.  “And please, you can just call me Junjun.”

   “Okay then, Junjun.”  Eri smiled.  “I’m really glad that you came to visit Sayumi like this.  Nobody ever comes except for her parents and us… she really needs to get out more and meet new people.  I sincerely thank you, as her cousin.”

   “It’s fine.  I’m here because I want to be,” Junjun answered.  “That’s right; I want to be here, next to her.  Even if it means I’ll only get hurt, I’ll stay with her as long as I can.  Because… I really do love her.

Poor Jun...  :cry:  i'm so evil :twisted:

Poor Jun, but still, love is painful. I wonder how long it'll take before someone realizes she's in love with Sayu?

@kurosawa87: maybe not up to hate but Sayu's just too selfish to care  :smhid


KameLin chapter!  They are so sweet~ :wub:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 14

   “Senpai!  Over here!”

   Eri ran towards the younger girl, sitting on the grass with a picnic basket.  She grinned from ear to ear.  Eri breathed heavily.

   “You… really… like… to get… spur of… the moment… ideas… don’t you?” Eri huffed out.

   “I’m sorry, were you doing something important when I texted you?” Linlin asked, apologetically.

   “Just… visiting my cousin…” Eri breathed out.  “But… my friend is still with her… so it’s okay.”

   “Well, you could’ve taken your time, senpai,” Linlin said.  “You really didn’t have to run all the way here from the hospital.”

   “That’s because…”  Wait.  Why did she run all the way to the park?  Eri remembered getting Linlin’s text about wanting to have a picnic lunch with her… then she felt really excited… and then she just ran out.  “Huh.  I guess I was pretty excited to see this girl.  And the crepes.  Maybe it’s the crepes.  Hm…

   “Well, since you’re here,” Linlin said, pulling Eri down to the grass, “we can start eating!  I made savory crepes as the main course and dessert crepes for… well, dessert.”

   Eri laughed.  “I think you’re a little bit too obsessed with these crepes, Lin-chan.”

   “Well, they’re worth obsessing over,” Linlin defended.  She took out a plate of crepe from the picnic basket and held it out to Eri.  “It’s chicken.  Unless you prefer the beef…”

   “No, chicken is fine.”  Eri took the fork from Linlin’s basket and dug into the food.  Her eyes widened in surprise.  “Linlin… did you make this?”

   “Well, I rarely buy food considering I’m a cooking major.  Why?”

   “This… is really good,” Eri commented.  “You’re really good at what you do, aren’t you?”

   “Not as good as you, senpai,” Linlin replied, grinning.  She blushed a little.  “I’m glad you like it.”

   The two girls sat on the grass, eating up their savory crepes.  When the time for dessert came, both Eri and Linlin constantly sighed with joy.  The combination of strawberries and banana with chocolate syrup and whipped cream was more than heavenly.  Linlin’s cheeks stayed a constant soft pink as she watched Eri happily scarf down the sweet.

   “Senpai, you look better today,” Linlin started, cautiously.  “I’m assuming all your problems are settled?”

   “Um… not quite,” Eri hesitated.  She recalled the horrible memory from the storage room, followed by the confusing but decent memory about the umbrella.  She still had it back home.

   “Well… do you still feel better?”

   “I think you made me feel all better last time, Lin-chan,” Eri answered, smiling at the younger girl.  “You just blow energy into me, seriously.”

   Linlin laughed.  “Well, I guess I’m kind of a naturally happy person.”  Eri laughed along.

   The two girls finally finished their desserts.  After Linlin put all her utensils back into the basket, both girls stood up.

   “Thanks for the meal, Lin-chan.  It really made me feel better.”  Eri smiled.

   “I’m glad,” Linlin replied, slightly blushing again.

   “I’ll see you another time, okay?  Next time, I’ll invite you over to my house.”

   “Okay,” Linlin answered.  As Eri started to turn to leave, Linlin shouted back.  “Wait, senpai!”

   “Yes?” Eri answered, turning back to the short girl.

   “Um… Can I, uh… ask you something?”

   “Sure, go ahead.”  She watched the younger girl’s cheeks flush.

   “Will you… uh…”

   “Linlin?”

   “Will you… Will you go out with me?” Linlin blurted out.

   Eri eyes opened in shock.  Did she just hear what she thinks she heard?  Did she just get asked out by this lovely, energetic girl?  Part of Eri wanted to blurt out yes.  But… another part of her recalled memories of a different girl… short, curly brown hair, cold eyes… and the umbrella…

   Eri quickly shook away the memories.  “No!  Eri, get a grip!  Why are you thinking of her in this situation?  Linlin just asked you out; she’s funny, talented, energetic… She’s more than what you could ever hope for!

   “Um… senpai?”  Linlin asked nervously.  Eri smiled.

   “I’d love to go out with you,” Eri answered. 

   “Really?” Linlin asked, her eyes sparkling again.

   “Really,” Eri answered, laughing as the younger girl embraced her.  “Yeah… this is the way it’s supposed to be.  Linlin makes me happy… and that’s all I need.

Wow I go away for a bit and miss 5 chapters??? well i've caught up now so it's all good!

Chapter 9

I love Sayu's character, just like a spoiled girl who's been in a hospital most of her life and only had people doting on her.

Sayu is jealous of Risa being with Ai and Reina, hmm is Sayu plotting something, we do see scary jealous Sayu again in this chapter

Poor JunJun gets complely baffled by Sayu but falls for her none the less, I allready feel sorry for Jun!

Chapter 10

Poor Eri scared to got see Reina.....

Ai was sweet being all motherly towards Risa.

...dear gor Reina is evil, she must of really been scared by something in her past to be like this (I was thinking possiblr rape?) Eri needs to tell someone!

Chapter 11

Man LinLin is awsome, I'm so glad she was able to make Eri feel better!

Hmm do I sense a little jealousy from Reina?

Chapter 12

Hmm so perhaps Reina does have some feelings towards Eri, it seems to be too late however, Eri seems really scared of Reina.

Wonder why Reina needs sleeping pills, nightmares addiction or maybe both, we will find out i'm sure

chapter 13

Poor Jun, she's so kind and has amazing patience towards Sayu but Sayu can't see it, perhaps she will eventually but only after its too late( I still feel sorry for Jun)

Jun figures out that Sayu loves Risa but decides to stay with her, Poor Jun can inly get hurt like that!

chapter 14

Eri's Excited to be seeing LinLin (or possible crepes :lol:)....LinEri now dating, so sweet.

How can Eri be thinking of Reina though?!

A Lin-Eri-Reina love triangle, thats different!

Thank you for all the comments~~~ :farofflook:
here's the much awaited TakaGaki chapter! It's pretty long, i hope you'll like it :luvluv1:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 15

   “Damn you, Kameha!  How can you leave me like this?”

   Risa was hopping around in her room, trying to brush her teeth and pull up her skirt at the same time.  After rinsing out what was left of the toothpaste from her mouth, she then grabbed a brush and worked through a series of knots that was her hair.  She slipped on a loose gray shirt, grabbed her bag, and ran down the stairs.

   Eri had left a note in Risa’s room, telling her that she turned off the bean’s alarm on purpose because she seemed too tired to go to work.  She had also written that she was skipping work to go out on a date with her girlfriend. 

   “Why that little turtle…” Risa thought.  “She knows I can’t skip work!  I have to finish this!  She doesn’t have to go to work until the instrumental is finished so she can go out with her girlfriend.  But I have to keep working!

   Risa shoved her feet through her sneakers and ran out of the house before skidding to halt to lock the door.  She then turned around and ran into the sidewalk. 

   “In a rush?” a familiar voice asked with a hint of laughter.

   Risa turned towards the voice and gasped.  There was a black open-top sports car, parked right by the sidewalk.  Leaning on the front of the car was a brown-haired girl with sunglasses on.  She was wearing a blue tank top with a thin white button-down shirt over it.  Her jean shorts made her thin legs look even longer.  Her wavy hair was tied into a ponytail.  She laughed.

   “I wish you could see your face right now,” the girl said, taking off her sunglasses.  “It’s the best.”

   “Ai-san!” Risa yelled, still in shock.  “What… What are you doing in front of my house?  Is that your car?”

   “Yes, this is my car,” Ai answered grinning.  “I’m here to pick you up.  Get in.”  She turned and got into the driver’s seat.

   “Um… you really didn’t have to do that, Ai-san,” Risa said, walking over to the car.  “I can just walk to DFA… How did you know where my house was, anyway?”

   “Kamei-san told me,” Ai replied.  “Since I’m here already, just hop in.”

   The song writer hesitated for a little while but she was in the passenger seat before she knew it.  Ai reached over and secured the Risa’s seat belt.  She smiled mischievously at the younger girl, whose face was already turning light pink.

   “Okay!  Let’s go have some fun now!”  Ai exclaimed, starting the engine.

   “What?  Huh?  W-wait!”  Before Risa could protest more, Ai stepped on the accelerator, sending Risa forward then back again.  “Ai-san, what’s going on?”

   “Truth is… I’m kidnapping you.”  The idol slipped her sunglasses back on and grinned.

   “What?” Risa said, still confused.

   “You’re such a workaholic,” Ai explained.  “We’re in our twenties!  We should be having fun!  So I’m taking you somewhere.”

   “But what about work?” Risa asked hysterically.

   “We’re ditching,” Ai replied simply. 

   “Us too?  Gosh, Kameha ditched this morning too, you know!” Risa yelled over the loud engine.  Her hair was flying into her face from the strong wind.  Then she had a realization.  “Wait… is Eri part of this too?” 

   Ai laughed in reply.  Risa rolled her eyes.  “We have to go to work, Ai-san!”

   “Tsunku-san will be awfully lonely today,” Ai said, ignoring the younger girl’s hysterics, “because Reina left the house early today too.  No doubt she’s ditching.”

   “All the more reason for us to go!” Risa yelled, practically standing up.  “I thought you were the responsible leader!  I have to finish your single!”

   “Stop shouting and sit properly,” Ai replied, shoving Risa’s shoulder back down into the seat.  “Missing one day is fine.”

   “Turn left!  Take me to DFA!”

   “Are you one of those backseat drivers?  Because I really hate that.”

   “First of all, I’m in the passenger seat.  Second of all, I’m willing to be one those drivers if it means I’ll go to work!”

   “Too late, we’re already here.”

   Risa finally peeled her eyes off of the grinning singer and looked around.  She could hear a lot of laughter inside a big gate.  She saw a couple kids running around with ice cream in their hands.  She could even see a Ferris wheel and a frightfully tall drop tower even further in.  Risa’s mouth dropped open with a “pop”.

   “An amusement park?”  Risa bit her lips but laughter escaped from her mouth anyway.  Ai walked around the car and leaned on Risa’s door, puffing one side of her cheek.

   “Hey, don’t make fun of me,” she said.  “Considering I’m pretty recognizable, there are a lot of public places I haven’t been to.  This is just one of them.”

   “Um… Well… pft!”  Risa continued to giggle.

   “Hey, stop that!” Ai yelled, turning red.  Suddenly, there was a burst of screaming in the park.  Ai turned towards the sound and discovered the rollercoaster.

   “Oh my gosh, it’s a rollercoaster!  I’ve always wanted to go on that thing!”  She pulled the door open and dragged Risa out by her hand.  “Come on, come on, come on!”

   The two girls ran all the way to the gate and Ai whipped out two prepaid tickets from her back pocket.  She then proceeded to drag Risa all the way to the roller coaster line and stood there. 

   “Ai-san!” Risa loudly whispered.  “Are you sure you can be in the open like this?  Like you said, you are pretty recognizable.”

   “It’s fine,” Ai replied, grinning.  “I just have to keep the sunglasses on while there are eyes watching.  No big.”

   The line shortened rapidly and before they knew it, both girls were sitting together in the second cart.  Ai took off her sunglasses as the coaster started to move.  The machine suddenly jerked upward, traveling higher and higher.  Risa grabbed on to Ai’s arms.

   “Ai-san!  Um… I forgot to tell you this but… ah… I don’t take these kinds of rides too well,” she stammered

   “Don’t worry, it’ll be fun,” Ai replied calmly.  She still had the same goofy grin across her face.

   “A-a-Ai-san!” Risa whined.

   “It’s fine, it’s fine.”  Still smiling.

   “A-a-a-a-Ai S-s-s-s-san!” Risa stuttered.

   “Oh, here we go.”

   Then it happened.  The coaster rushed down hill as everybody started to scream.  Risa screamed in a shrill, frightened voice while Ai screamed as if she was having fun.

   “KYAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!”

   “WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!”

   The down hill ride ended but the coaster didn’t slow down.  Instead, it headed straight for the loop-de-loop, in which Risa made a glass-breaking scream, and cut off Ai’s blood circulation in her arms.

   After a series of ups and downs and curves, the coaster finally reached the starting point again.  Ai quickly put on her sunglasses and pulled the frozen Risa out of the cart.

   “Gaki-san, I’m sorry I can’t carry you.  You have to walk, come on,” Ai said, still laughing.

   “Ah… uh… it’s… over…” Risa blubbered.  Ai just laughed again.

   That was basically how the rest of the day went.  The two girls went on the Viking, the drop tower, the spinning teacups…  Risa would scream at the top of her lungs while Ai would let out shouts of joy, as if she was performing at a concert.  Risa would’ve broken down already, but the one thing that kept her going was that Ai kept on holding her hand.  That was the only thing that made Risa feel like it was all worth it.

   Finally, Ai sat Risa down on a bench, ran to the food cart, and came back with two corndogs.

   “Ketchup or mustard?” she asked.

   “Ketchup,” the younger girl answered.  Ai handed her the right corndog and put the other in her own mouth.  She sank down next to Risa.

   “This all feels so unreal…” the singer commented.  “I would never be able to come here alone.  And of course, not with Reina.  Thanks for coming here with me, Gaki-san.  It means a lot to me.”

   “No problem,” Risa answered, smiling back.  “It was fun for me too… in a way.”

   After finishing their short lunch, the two girls heard a short scream behind them.  They both turned towards the direction of the sound and spotted a couple teenagers staring at them… no, staring at one of them.

   “Isn’t that… isn’t that Takahashi Ai of High-Queen?” one of them remarked.  The other teenagers proceeded to let out a short scream and lean forward to run over.

   “Hey, those kids seem to recognize you, Ai-san,” Risa said, clueless.

   “Um, yeah…” Ai started, slowly grabbing on to Risa’s hand.  “Uh… I think we should… RUN!”

   The idol broke into a sprint, taking Risa along.  They could hear the screams of the fans getting louder, chasing them.  They quickly ran through a crowd of people and turned into a corner, then another, and another.  Ai finally stopped when they reached a very narrow space in between two concrete walls.  She covered the song writer’s mouth and peeked out.  The fans were looking around, searching for their star.  Then they walked away towards the opposite direction.

   “Okay, Gaki-san.  I think they’re gone now—” 

   Ai removed her hands from Risa’s mouth and noticed that the younger girl’s cheeks were flushed dark red.  The space was very tight; Ai had to reach out and press her hands against the opposite wall, trapping Risa in between her arms.  Risa could feel her own cheeks burning up as she looked down, looked to the side… anywhere besides the singer’s eyes.

   Something came over Ai.  Watching the girl in front of her, so shy and not knowing what to do, gave her a certain impulse to slowly lean in.  She lifted Risa’s chin, forcing her to make eye contact.  The younger girl’s eyes were deep brown and wide, her cheeks flushed bright red.  Without a second thought, Ai leaned in until their lips met.

   Risa’s eyes widened even more in shock.  Ai’s lips molded itself to fit on to Risa’s as she kept on moving.  Various thoughts ran through the younger girl’s head: What’s happening?  Is this right?  Is this wrong?  She finally pushed away the older girl as far as she could, which wasn’t that far.  But it was enough for their lips to separate.

   The singer’s eyes widened, realizing what she had done.  The song writer breathed heavily, still calculating inside her head with no answers resulting.

   “Gaki-san…” the older girl started, “I’m so sorry.  I- I don’t know what came over me, I—”

   “I need to leave,” Risa interrupted. 

   She quickly side-stepped out of the tight space and started to walk away as fast as she could.  Ai ran right behind her, trying to catch up.  She put her hand on Risa’s shoulder.

   “Gaki-san, wait—”

   Risa turned in shock and slapped Ai’s hand away.  Her eyes were still filled with confusion and uncertainty.

   “I… I need to think.”  But she couldn’t think.  Was she happy, was she mad?  This was the moment of truth, what is Takahashi Ai to Niigaki Risa?  Again, the song writer came up with no answer.

   “Gaki-san, I’ll drive you home.”

   “No.”  With that, Risa ran for the exit where bright yellow cabs were lined up, ready to catch any customer they could.  Ai ran after her but she wasn’t fast enough.

   “Gaki-san!”  Before the shout could be heard, Risa was already in a taxi, driving away.  Ai stopped at the gate and banged her fist against the brick wall.

   “Idiot!  What have I just done…?

@Ada: I think that's pretty much the theme for this entire story: mental war  XD

@kurosawa87: suspense is my specialty  :twisted:

@rndmnwierd: overload is also my specialty!  XD ... at least I'm trying to...  :nervous


Here's the next chapter~ It's TanaKame but it's SERIOUS.  like.  really.   :(

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 16

   The ice in the glass rattled as Reina drank up the rest of the beer.  She knew she was already too drunk; the room was starting to spin and the voices around her were suppressed to mumbles.  But she picked up the beer bottle and poured herself another glass.  Again, she craned her neck back and drank it all up in one shot.

   Various thoughts ran through Reina’s head, starting from last night’s dream.  She had had the same dream again, bringing back the past joys and pain.  Why won’t that girl just stay out of her dreams?  Everything was over already, it was ancient history.  Hearing her laughter and seeing her smile definitely did not help in erasing the memories.

   Reina’s train of thought moved on to the morning.  She had woken up in a very bad mood early in the morning, not wanting to go back to bed.  Ai had already been in the kitchen of the house they shared together, writing down a certain address on a notepad while talking on the phone.  After memorizing it, the leader had told her to remember it as well, that it was their fashion coordinator and song writer’s address, in case of an emergency.  Reina had rolled her eyes and walked out of the dorm.  Then she had been at the bar for the rest of the day, drinking.

   Reina finally emptied another bottle of beer, and added it to the pile of bottles she had gone through.  She dug through her wallet and grabbed whatever money was in there and placed it on the bar counter.  She knew it was more than enough.  Then, she staggered out of the bar, trying not to fall down.

   The bar owner ran out and caught a taxi for her.  The driver asked her where she was going… a series of numbers and the street name flowed from Reina’s lips unconsciously.  Was it even the right address? 

   When the car turned into a deserted street, lined up with lampposts, Reina heard her own voice screaming, “stop”.  She once again threw whatever money she could grab at the driver and pulled herself out of the cab.  Then she continued on to walk up the unfamiliar street…

**  **  ** 

   Eri smiled as she walked out her home with a big garbage bag slung over her shoulder.  She had had her first date with Linlin, her newly found girlfriend, and had spent the most wonderful day.  They had gone to the zoo together and had seen various different types of animals.  Linlin’s smiles and laughter naturally made Eri happy as well. 

   But Eri had other things on her mind too.  She had come back home to find her best friend, curled up in a ball in her bed.  She had said she was too tired to talk, and that she wanted to go to bed early.  Risa never wanted to go to bed early. 

   “I wonder if something happened with Takahashi-san…” Eri thought as she plopped the garbage bag down by the edge of the side walk.

   As the turtle was about to turn back into her home, she spotted someone coming towards her down the street.  The person’s walking wasn’t steady; the body seemed to be as flimsy as paper as it swung this way and that.  Eri gasped as she finally realized who it was. 

   “Ta… Tanaka-san?”

   The drunk singer lifted her head from hearing her name, and smiled.

   “Oh~ it’s you again,” she said, slurring her words.  “Why do we always meet like this?”

   “Tanaka-san… um… are you okay?”  Part of Eri was screaming to get away but her oblivious angelic side got the better of her.  She took a step towards the yankii, concerned.

   “Did I come to the wrong house?” Reina mumbled.  “Fuck.  I really don’t want to see you right now…”

   “Tanaka-san?”  Eri had no idea what to do.  Reina was still swinging this way and that, stepping closer and closer to her.

   “We really should stop meeting randomly like this,” the drunken girl mumbled, her eyes half closed.  “I don’t like you, you don’t like me… Why do we even—”

   At that moment, Reina tripped on her own feet as Eri ran forward to catch her.

   “Tanaka-san!  Are you okay?”  She smelled the alcohol from the idol’s mouth.  “Were you drinking?”

   “Don’t touch me!” Reina shrilled, pushing away from the older girl.  She slowly started to lose track of her own mind.  Random words started bursting from her mouth. “Only Aika can touch me.  Only Aika.” 

   “Aika?”  Eri wondered. 

   “Aika… my Aika…”  Reina’s eyes widened in a sudden shock as she slipped down to the concrete.  Her mind was somewhere else now, trapped in a distant memory.  “Why… why did you…”  Eri kneeled down in front of her.

   “Tanaka-san—”

   Before Eri could finish her phrase, her lips were immediately blocked with Reina’s.  But not even a second later, the younger girl backed away, tears streaming down her cheeks.

   “We even kissed like this…” she sobbed.  “We even… So why…?”

   Reina tightened her arms around Eri’s neck and buried her face into her shoulders.  Just like that, she cried.  She cried, continuously screaming.

   “Why?!  Why do you keep on showing up like this?  You left first, I don’t want to see you anymore!  So stop appearing in front of me!”  Reina wasn’t speaking to the person in front of her; the older girl realized this.

   Eri had an impulse to push away this girl who was hugging her, this girl who had violated her and embarrassed her.  But she couldn’t.  The way Reina was holding on to her, as if she was the only thing to be depended upon in the world, made it seem too cruel to push her away.  Instead, Eri put her arms around Reina and gently patted her on the back. 

   “Why am I comforting this person?” Eri thought.  “After everything she’s done to me…

   The cries of pain muffled in her shoulder continued.  Eri stroked the younger girl’s hair and shushed her softly.

   “Aika…” she thought.  “That name is the key to this person’s pain.

Wahhh  :shocked pfff...shhh...pfff....ehhh?  :shocked

I feel terrible for Reina  :(
She may be a cruel, sexy violator... :twisted:....but she wasn't always like that, right?  :cry:
It was her heart break that drew her to want to hurt others only to cover up her own pain  :thumbdown:
There's someone sweet and innocent in there somewhere   :grin:


Tho....I still look forward to the torture she gives to Eri :twisted:

@Swtme03: you don't know how right you are about reina  :shocked XD


i'm practically pulling chapters out of my (very fast working) brain  :cow:  :twothumbs

more questions answered~ more questions left  :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 17

   “Kamei-san, thank you for bringing her back.  I was starting to get worried.”

   “It’s fine.  I would’ve let her sleep over at my house but we don’t have a spare room, unfortunately.”

   Eri had taken Reina back to High-Queen’s house by taxi.  The drunk yankii was now sleeping in her room while Ai was thanking the turtle in the living room.

   “Well, I’m sure you’re tired now,” Ai said.  “You should go back home and rest.”

   “Um, actually… do you mind if I talk with you for a while?” Eri asked.

   Ai looked at her for a while and realized it wasn’t something that could wait for another day.  She motioned to the couch in the living room.  Eri sank down to the white sofa.

   “What do you need to ask me?” Ai said, seating next to the younger girl.

   “Maybe this isn’t any of my business… but I need to know.”  Eri paused to make sure the singer was following her.  Ai nodded in encouragement.  “Does… Does the name Aika mean anything to you?”

   Ai’s face hardened.  She stared at Eri’s face for a while and slowly parted her lips.

   “Where did you hear that name?” she asked in a low voice.

   “Tanaka-san told me,” Eri answered confidently, “…while she was drunk.”

   Ai sighed.  “Reina’s being too careless around you.  This has never happened before.  You’re too involved already.”

   “Well, since I’ve already crossed out of the safe zone, you have to tell me how to survive.”

   “I suppose… it isn’t fair to leave you wondering.”  Ai put her hands under her chin.  “But I don’t know everything either.  More than other people, but still not a lot.”

   “Then tell me what you do know,” Eri urged.  She was done with secrets.  She would find out why Reina acted the way she did, why her character changed, why she came to her tonight, and why she had cried.

   “First…” Ai started.  “I have to apologize to you, Kamei-san.”

   “For what?” Eri asked, confused.

   “For not trying to stop what should’ve been stopped,” she answered.  “For not trying to prevent those marks on your collarbone from getting there.”

   Eri looked down at her shirt in shock.  She was wearing a round-neck shirt; the vivid pink marks that Reina had left was not visible.  She looked up again at the singer in shock.

   “You… know?”

   “Of course… I’ve always known.”  Eri’s face twisted in horror.  Ai quickly spoke again to defend herself.  “Kamei-san, it’s not what you think.  You’re not her only victim.  I tried to stop her at first, when she started this three years ago.  After a couple months of failing to reel her in, I gave up.  I realized I can’t stop her pain.”

   “I’m… not the only one?  There are other girls?  She’s been doing this for three years?”  Eri’s questions shot out of her mouth.

   “Yes… some girls were more willing than others.  But I’ve never seen her touch the same girl twice; you’re the first at that.”

   “Takahashi-san…” Eri started slowly, “what happened three years ago?  Who’s Aika?”

   “Mitsui Aika,” Ai started, “was Reina’s ex-girlfriend.  She was originally a fan of High-Queen, one of the more intense school girls who followed us to every live. 

   “One day, we met Aika in person when she got a backstage pass.  Her smile is very beautiful you know, she stood out more than the other fans.  Reina seemed to take interest.  Their conversation went a little longer than it should have.  I don’t know the exact details of how they started to like each other but before I knew it, they were already going out.  Aika was always there with Reina.  Reina wasn’t exactly friendly back then either but I knew she was a nice person.  She just always put up a strong front.  But when she was with Aika, she laughed and smiled more than I’ve ever seen her do. 

   “But one day, I saw Reina running after Aika in the hallways, backstage.  Sensing something was off, I ran after them.  Aika ran through the park and shouted that she hated Reina.  Reina stopped running then, and just collapsed to the ground.  I thought, 'How dare she?'  How dare she say that?  Doesn’t she know that would hurt Reina more than anything else…?  That’s the first time I saw Reina cry.

   “Ever since then, Reina has been the person she is today.  She doesn’t believe in love or any kind of relationship, and she doesn’t even care about what happens in her life.  She trusted Aika more than anyone in the world… and she had betrayed her.  So Reina doesn’t trust anyone anymore.  That’s all I know, Kamei-san.  I don’t know anymore details.

   Eri slouched in her seat, her eyes wide in shock.  So this girl, Mitsui Aika, was the source of Reina’s actions.  Reina does what she does to show she doesn’t care what happens anymore.  Eri started to recall Reina’s bottle of sleeping pills.  She also recalled her screaming, “Stop appearing in front of me”…  Then it clicked. 

   “She dreams about her,” Eri whispered.

   “More often than not,” Ai confirmed.  “You have to understand that she’s actually in a very fragile state right now.  She cries a lot too.”

   Things were starting to get clearer to Eri.  But there was still the most important question: Why did Mitsui Aika leave Tanaka Reina?  Didn’t she love her as much as Reina did?

   “Kamei-san…”  Eri’s train of thought was broken by Ai’s voice.  “Please forgive me for not warning you… it’s just that, I knew I couldn’t stop Reina.  But that still doesn’t give me an excuse for just standing by.”

   “I think you still should’ve done something,” Eri muttered.  But she questioned herself as well: could Takahashi Ai have stopped it?

   “I know.  I sincerely apologize.”

   “Well… I guess your information kind of makes up for it,” Eri said in a low voice.  “I actually do feel a little safer now.  Knowing a part of the truth helps.  Thank you.”

   Ai smiled weakly at the younger girl.  Eri got up to leave but a different memory crept into her head… Sayumi’s voice. 

   She has the same name as her… looks like her too.

   Eri slapped her forehead.  “Of course! That’s why she looks so familiar!” she thought.  “But… there  must a hundred ‘Ai’s in the world.  And her family name is different…”  She turned to face the singer again.

   “Takahashi-san?”

   “Yes?”

   “Is Takahashi Ai your real name or your stage name?”

   “My real name.”  The idol did not hesitate to answer. 

   “Have you ever lived in the Yamaguchi prefecture?”

   “No.”  Again, her face and voice did not betray any emotion.

   “I see…” Eri smiled a little.  “Of course… how could they be the same person?  What are the odds?  I guess I’m just being silly again…

   Eri turned to leave again but she remembered another question she had for the singer.

   “Um, Takahashi-san?”

   “Yes?”

   “Did something happen between you and Risa-chan?”

   Ai stiffened.  “…What is she doing right now?”

   “She’s in her room and won’t come out.”  Eri determined that something did happen.

   “Kamei-san… please tell her that I am sincerely sorry for today.  She’ll understand… I hope.”

   Eri was hoping for a more elaborate answer but she decided not to dig into it anymore.  So she thanked the older girl and left her home.  As she walked back to her house, Eri immersed herself in her own thoughts.

   “Mitsui Aika… Just what made you leave Tanaka-san…?

Dammit stop updating so fast!  :angry:

good chapter's though, something about Ai character worries me, the rest all have their problems but Ai seems ok, I just have a nasty suspicion that Ai has a really dark serect, could she be lying about who she is?

poor Reina, wonder what went wrong between her and Aika, Eri is majorly conflicted at the moment isn't she. On the one hand she hates Reina for what she's done on the other she wants to help her, very confusing.

Risa's obviously confused too perhaps Ai should of held her emotions in check?

@rndmnwierd:  :lol: i'm glad your head's okay  :D

@gab96: MORE COMING  :D

@oddball: that's the theme for this entire story: confusion!!  :shocked XD

@kurosawa87: i'll bring crepes in again, don't worry  XD


Okay guys... I'll try slowing down on the updates... sorry  :fainted:
It's summer break, I have nothing to do, so I just write  :badluck:

anyways, here's another update!  :cow:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 18

   “Kamei-san… I’m sorry to ask this of you again.  But can you please go find—”

   “I’ll go find her, Tsunku-san.”

   Ai immediately got up from the couch.  The familiar group was gathered together, once again, in the recording studio after another two weeks.  Today was the start of the official recording session; the two singers would sing “Everyday Everywhere” until Tsunku and Risa both approved.  As usual Reina was the only one not present in the group.  But this time, before Eri could be pressured into going on the search of the yankii, Ai had taken a more defensive stance in volunteering first.

   “Takahashi,” Tsunku started, shaking his head, “I’m trying to get the other High-Queen member here, not lose another one.  Kamei-san, would you please…?”

   Eri got up and lightly touched Ai’s shoulder in reassurance.  She smiled a little at the singer, signaling that it was okay.  Eri knew more of the truth now and therefore felt better equipped.  She would make Reina realize that her past did not justify her actions.

   “I’ll bring her back,” Eri said.  She noticed her best friend eyeing her suspiciously.  Eri threw a shaky grin at her and walked out of the room.

   But as soon as she turned right, Eri almost bumped into the very person she was looking for.  The yankii’s face was completely emotionless.

   “Tanaka-san?” Eri said, surprised.  “Um, I was just going to look for you…”

   “I don’t know if you’re trying to be brave or if you’re just plain stupid,” the cold girl replied.  “They told you to go look for me so you just willingly skipped out?  Pathetic.”

   Eri couldn’t bring herself to tell Reina that she had an extra protection against her.  Before she could say more, the singer lightly placed her hand on top of Eri’s head and then lifted it off again.

   “Not today,” she whispered, as she walked past the turtle into the recording studio.

   Eri touched the place where the yankii had patted.  The warmth of her hand was lingering there.  She quickly walked back into the studio.

   “See, Takahashi?” Tsunku was laughing.  “Kamei-san is a lot better at bringing Tanaka back then you are.  That was record time, less than 30 seconds!”

   Ai scanned Eri’s expression and realized that nothing had happened.  She let out a deep sigh of relief.  Eri smiled, trying not to show any confusion from the rather warm encounter.

   “Okay, then,” Tsunku ordered.  “Let’s get started right away!  High-Queen, in the recording booth, now.”

   Both girls immediately obeyed and started to fumble around with their headsets in the booth.  Ai mumbled while shoving her headphone on.

   “Kamei-san didn’t bring you back,” she accused.  “What made you come by yourself?”

   “Like you said,” Reina answered, “this song is different.”

   “It does mean something more, doesn’t it?”

   “You should know.  But what does the song mean to you?”

   The two girls shared a look.  But Reina’s gaze did not make Ai betray any emotions on her face.  The leader smiled.

   “That’s for me to know and you to maybe find out,” she answered. 

   Reina narrowed her eyes.  But she didn’t ask anymore and instead, put on her headset.

   “Okay, I’m turning the mics on,” Risa said.  Ai gave a thumbs-up as a signal.  Risa ignored it and looked down.  Ai shot a pleading look to Eri in the back, who just shrugged.

   “The faster you girls do this, the faster we get out of here,” Tsunku said.  “Tanaka, I’m talking especially to you.  No half-heartedness, you understand?” Reina rolled her eyes in response.  “Okay, Niigaki-san.  Roll it from the top.”

   The soft piano music started to fill the small studio room.  Both High-Queen members’ faces turned serious.  Ai started with her vocalization, and then started to sing.

Did we grow apart?
When did it start?
If I could have one wish come true
I’d turn back time

   “Her voice…” Risa thought.  “It’s not like any other I’ve heard.  She’s expressing my feelings in the song in a way no one else has.  Can she feel the same thing I felt while writing this song?  Could she really be feeling the same pain?

   After Ai’s verse, Reina’s vocals filled the room.  Tsunku widened his eyes as he nodded, approving of Reina’s attitude.

If I think back now
Everything that happened was enjoyable
Maybe I’m just putting too much thought into it
I guess that’s alright

   “She’s thinking about Mitsui Aika, probably…” Eri thought.  “She still treasures those memories but she can’t help but look at them in a bad way… There’s got to be a way to help her…  Wait, why am I thinking about this?  Am I pitying her?

Love~ When I look up at the starry sky
Love~ I start to smile a little
I guess some nights are lonely…

   “She has the same feelings…” Risa thought.  “I can tell, she feels the same loneliness as me.  What kind of past is she holding on to…?

   “Is it just Tanaka-san?” Eri thought.  “Or is Mitsui Aika feeling the same thing?  Are they both lonely?

Everyday Everywhere
I think about you
In my noble youth

   “While I think of her, who is Ai-san thinking about…?

Someday Somewhere
With you
I could travel to a different star

   “She misses her… she regrets not holding on to her longer.

   Ai’s high-pitched vocalization filled the room.  The leader pressed the headset closer to her ear as she clenched her eyes in concentration.  Reina also had her eyes closed, moving her body and bobbing her arm up and down, completely immersed in the song.  Ai’s voice pierced through everyone’s heart, as all her emotions were transferred to every listener.  Then, Reina started to sing from the pre-chorus, followed by Ai again.

Love~ When I look up at the starry sky
Love~ I get a phone call from you
I guess some nights are enjoyable…

   “That’s her hope,” both Risa and Eri thought.  “That’s the small hope and dream she's holding on to... to change the past.

Everyday Everywhere
I make a wish to love
In my fragile youth

   “She says she doesn’t believe in love…” Eri thought.  “But she wishes she was wrong, more than anything.

Someday Somewhere
Love’s attraction
Is found inside your arms

   “My heart is beating fast…” Risa thought.  “She’s the one… She’s the one that can truly understand my songs, my feelings.

   The two singers sang the last chorus over again.  Both of them were now pressing the headsets on their ears and singing with all the energy they had into the mic.  The song finally reverted back to the soft piano melody as Ai decorated the song again with her vocalization.  By the time the song came to a stop, both High-Queen members had beads of sweat trickling down their faces.  Tsunku, Risa, and Eri all started clapping slowly.

   “That… was…” Tsunku started, still in awe by their recording session.  “Well, that was quite something.  For your first session, I mean.”

   “I liked it,” Risa said in a whispery voice, also in shock.  “I want to keep that take, Tsunku-san.”

   “Yes, we’ll keep it but—”

   “No, I mean I want to keep that for good.” Risa rephrased.

   “A single take?” Tsunku questioned.  “I don’t know…”

   “Tsunku-san, you and I both know it doesn’t get better than this,” Risa argued.  “That’s exactly what I was looking for, and they did it.  It’s perfect.”

   Tsunku sighed and scratched his head.  He looked at the two singers: Ai who was looking at him expectantly and Reina who was just staring at the mic.  He sighed again deeply and shrugged.

   “Okay, girls,” he said finally.  “You can get out of there.”

   The two idols shuffled out of the booth and plopped down on the couch.  Tsunku checked his watch.

   “Well, I have a meeting soon so I have to leave early,” the producer said, walking towards the exit.  “Takahashi and Tanaka, stay a little longer with Niigaki-san and get the editing done.”

   “You always have to leave early, Tsunku-san,” Risa laughed.

   “What can I say?  I’m a busy man,” he grinned.  Then he walked out.

   Reina immediately got up and reached for the door.  Ai shot her a glare.

   “I’m only going to the bathroom,” Reina said flatly.  “Relax, I’ll be back.”  Then, she walked out as well.

   “Risa-chan, I’m going to leave now,” Eri said, also reaching for the door.  “I have a date.”

   “You and your dates,” the song writer grumbled, playing around with the various modules on the sound control panel.

   “It’s fun, you should try it one day,” Eri laughed, joking.  She winked at Ai, who mouthed a word of thanks, and walked out.

   The room was silent.  Risa tweaked around with the control panel, trying not to pay attention to the older girl behind her. 

   “Are you mad?” the singer carefully asked.

   Risa gave no answer.  She wanted to say “No”, but she couldn’t get her lips to part.  She definitely wasn’t mad at Ai… just confused.

   “I told Kamei-san—”

   “Yeah, I know,” Risa cut her off.

   “Oh… I see… Gaki-san?  Could you please face me?”

   Risa made no motion.  Ai sighed and proceeded to turn the chair herself.  The younger girl laid flat on the back of the chair, looking down to the side.

   “Gaki-san,” Ai started, trying to make her voice sound sincere as possible, “I’m sorry I kissed you like that.  I shouldn’t have done such a thing without your permission.  I don’t want to lose a friend over this.  Please forgive me.”

   Risa hesitated a little but soon met eyes with the singer. 

   “You know,” she started, “I’m not mad, Ai-san… just… confused.  Why did you… do that?”

   “Um… I… don’t know,” Ai admitted.  “But I won’t do it again, I promise.  Forgive me?”  She gave a weak smile.  Risa smiled back.

   “Yes, I forgive you,” she replied.   “You’re a good friend, Ai-san.  I wouldn’t want to lose you over something like this.”

   Not again.  I’ll never lose a friend again, for whatever reason.

   “Thank you!” Ai said, hugging Risa.  “I don’t want to lose you either.” 

   Not again.  Never again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That was my longest chapter yet  :shocked

by the way, in case none of you guys have noticed, the song "Everyday Everywhere" is originally by T&C Bomber  :P

But Takahashi Ai and Tanaka Reina did a duet for it at the H!P 2008 concert  :D

Here's a vid:

Hmm so Reina didn't molest Eri, is she falling for Eri?

the song/Eri's/Risa's thoughts part was clever, I think it worked really well!

at the end of this chapter you seem to be hinting that Ai has lost someone she loved in her past, does Gaki resemble her? was that why she suddely just kissed her?

another great chapter!

About the updating, I will guarantee you guys AT LEAST a chapter per day  :yep: (or two).
I'll try not to go crazy with the updates though~ just trying to keep you guys tortured with questions  :twisted:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 19

   “Senpai, the syrup is dripping out.”

   “Huh?  What— Woah!”

   Eri held the crepe away from herself just in time to avoid the big drop of chocolate syrup from landing on her shirt.  Linlin giggled beside her.

   “Senpai, you were spacing out,” she said.  “What were you thinking about?”

   “Just… nothing,” Eri said, smiling at the younger girl. 

   But that was a lie.  She was thinking about something… someone.  About that person’s actions, that person’s umbrella, that person’s tears, that person’s warm hand patting her head… Everything was jumbled up together like puzzle pieces that would never fit. 

   “I’m sorry I didn’t have time to make the crepes today,” Linlin said, interrupting her thoughts.  “But I really like the crepes they make at this stand too.”

   “Yeah, it’s delicious,” Eri answered, half-heartedly. 

   Linlin had stopped her at a crepe stand in the middle of the street to eat her favorite sweet.  The couple was now walking towards the park with the crepes in their hands.  The park was where they would have to go opposite ways: Eri to her home and Linlin back to her dorms.

   “Eri, get a hold of yourself!” the turtle thought.  “Your girlfriend is right next to you and you’re on a date with her.  Now is not the time to be thinking about other things.  It’s not fair to Linlin.

   As the two girls turned the corner, with the entrance of the park right across the street, they saw a short girl with sunglasses on, walking towards them.

   “Oh great,” Eri thought, “now I’m even hallucinating.  Eri, you’re thinking too much.

   “Tanaka Reina of High-Queen?” Linlin exclaimed with a big smile.

   Eri blinked, rubbed her eyes, and blinked again.  The singer was there, right in front of her!  She took off her sunglasses.  Her face revealed no emotion.

   “Wow, to be able to meet you like this!” Linlin babbled excitedly.  “Senpai, aren’t you her fashion coordinator?”

   “Um… yeah…” Eri answered.  “Oh my gosh, I really didn’t want Lin-chan to meet Tanaka-san… what do I do? If Tanaka-san is cruel enough to tell Linlin what goes on between us…

   Suddenly, Reina slightly tilted her head to the side and smiled, looking cute.  She actually smiled.

   “Oh my goodness, Kamei-san!” she giggled.  “To be able to meet you again like this… we do run into each other often, don’t we?”

   Eri’s eyes almost popped out of her sockets.  What was with her?  Why was she smiling like that? 

   Reina’s eyes flickered over to Eri’s hand, holding on to the hand of the jumpy girl next to her.  The singer’s eyes widened along with her smile.

   “Are you Kamei-san’s girlfriend?”

   “Huh?  Oh, um…” Linlin blushed.

   “Oh, don’t worry.  I don’t judge people like that,” Reina laughed.  “But I didn’t know Kamei-san had such a cute girlfriend.  Kamei-san, why didn’t you tell me?”

   Eri blinked furiously.  “Who is she and what happened to Tanaka Reina?” she thought.

   “My name is Linlin,” the Chinese girl started, “I’m really a huge fan of yours.  It’s an honor to meet you like this.”

   “Oh, the pleasure is all mine, Linlin-san” the idol replied, still smiling.  “It’s always nice to meet a fan.”  She shot a friendly look to Eri.  “Your girlfriend is very kind.  Nice catch, Kamei-san!”  Linlin blushed while Eri narrowed her eyes.

   “Well, I really must get going,” Reina said.  “It was nice meeting you, Linlin-san.  I’ll see you around, Kamei-san.”  She waved and smiled at the both of them, and walked past.

   “Wow…” Linlin breathed.  “She really is amazing.  She has that idol charisma, you know?  …Senpai?  Are you listening?”

   “Is that her fake image she uses in public?” Eri thought.  “She acted the way she does on TV; all happy and energetic… It’s probably because Linlin was here.  She said she was a fan…

   “Senpai…?  Hello…?”

   “Huh?”  Eri snapped out of her thoughts.

   “Senpai, are you okay?” Linlin asked, concerned.  “You should go home and rest.  I think you’re too tired.”

   “Yeah… maybe I should take a nap or something.”

   “Well, I’ll see you next time, then.”

   “Okay.  Bye.”

   With that, Eri walked ahead while Linlin turned towards the opposite side.  After a couple steps, the younger girl stopped and ran back towards the turtle.

   “Senpai!”

   As soon as Eri turned around, her lips met with her girlfriend’s.  Linlin reached up and put her arms around Eri’s neck.  The older girl’s eyes opened in shock, but they soon closed as she put her own arms around the sweet girl kissing her. 

   So many different thoughts ran through Eri’s mind.  From the first meeting, to the texting, to the proposing, to the dates… Then a different face appeared again.  Her cries, her tears, her warm hands…

   “No!” Eri thought.  “What are you thinking?  Linlin is the one you’re kissing; you’re being cruel to her!  Don’t think about anything else; think about the girl in front of you!

   Soon, the arms around Eri’s neck weakened as the younger girl pulled away.  She smiled.

   “Was… that okay?” she asked, unsure.

   “More than okay,” Eri smiled, trying to hide the doubt in her voice.

   Eri, hold on to yourself.  If you don’t, the girl in front of you will end up getting hurt…

Just more of Eri's thoughts...  :thumbsup

@kurosawa87: yeah, Eri is in some major confusion  XD

@Thor87: YAY YAY YAY! Another commenter! :w00t:  you don't know what this means to me  :inlove:  thank you so much~ i'll definitely keep the updates going~   :onioncheer:


Thanks for the comments! I love how I'm just pulling lurkers out of thier hole  :lol: :cow:

this next chapter isn't worded nicely as the other chapters... I literally just hit a wall, sorry  :banghead: :bleed eyes:

But it's chapter 20 already! Time goes fast, huh?  :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 20

   “Five minutes left!  Get High-Queen on the set, quickly!”

   The producer for the TV program Song Fighter was yelling, running around all over the hallway.  Although the dressing room door was shut tight, Eri could still hear the panic in the man’s voice.

   Today was the first scheduling for promoting “Everyday Everywhere”.  High-Queen was to go on Song Fighter, talk, then perform.  Since it was a live recording, they had to be careful of every word and action, for there were no redoes.

   “Okay, you’re all done, Takahashi-san,” the fashion coordinator said, giving the High-Queen leader a pat on the back.  “Tanaka-san, are you finished in there?”

   Eri had just tied a fluffy yellow belt, the last accessory on High-Queen’s costume, on to Ai’s waist.  Reina walked out from the curtains of the dressing stall.  She held up a black choker.

   “I can’t hook it,” she said.

   “Risa-chan, help her please?” Eri pleaded to her friend, sitting on the couch.  She then grabbed a pair of pink boots by the door and set it in front of Ai.  “Takahashi-san, put these on.”

   “Three minutes!” the panicked voice echoed.  “Where are the girls? Get them out!”

   “Okay, you’re both ready,” Eri said.  Both singers were now dressed in pink.  Reina had glitter on her bangs— her usual trademark— and Ai had a headband.  “No wait, something’s off here—”

   “Kameha!” Risa interrupted.  “They look fine, let them go!”  Ai laughed at Eri’s flustered expression.  Reina didn’t even seem to notice the conversation going on in front of her.

   “Okay, okay,” Eri said, calming herself down.  “Let’s go.”

   All four girls ran out of the room and down the hallway.  When they reached the studio, the two singers started to bow over and over again to the staff members they passed by, saying “Yoroshiku onegaishimasu”.  The audience on the bleacher-like seats cheered when they spotted their idols, so Ai and Reina waved a little to them too.

   The producer quickly motioned the duo to the set, where a white round table was in the middle.  The three MCs were already seated, leaving two empty seats in the middle for the girls.  Risa and Eri sat themselves in the two reserved seats in the front of the audience.

   “Okay,” the producer started.  “We’re live in five… four… three…”  He mouthed the next two numbers.

   “So let’s welcome today’s guest,” the MC started.  “High-Queen!”

   “High-Queen desu!” the two girls said in unison.

   A loud cheer burst from the audience.  Risa and Eri—who was still red from all the adrenaline rush—clapped along.  Risa patted her friend on the back.

   “Relax, now,” she whispered.  “You did great.  They look awesome.”

   “Thanks,” Eri whispered back.

   Throughout the entire talking segment, the ratings slowly rose higher and higher.  Ai spoke fluently as usual while Reina never lost the smile she plastered on to her face.

   “So tell us a little bit about your new single,” one MC said.

   “Well,” Ai started.  “I think compared to our last single, ‘Subete wa Ai no Chikara’, we show off a more mature and mellow sound in ‘Everyday Everywhere’.  We were able to put a lot more effort into recording this too, since the song means something to the both of us.”

   “The song is about a farewell, isn’t it?  So does that mean you both experienced a farewell, just like in the song?”

   “That,” Reina said, holding up a finger to her lips, “is a secret.”  She winked.  Risa and Eri could’ve sworn they heard someone faint in the back of blood loss.

   The talk continued to go smoothly.  Before they knew it, the MCs were already making their closing while High-Queen and their two staff girls rushed to the studio next door for their performance.  Since it was a live recording, they had to start singing as soon as they were on set so there would be no blank segment in between the talk and the performance.

   The instrumental started to flow out of the speakers.  Both singers’ faces turned serious as they concentrated on the rhythm of the song.  Risa and Eri stood near the back wall, watching.  As always, a live performance was no problem for the two girls.  The ratings continued to rise. 

   “I wonder if she’s thinking of her…” Eri thought.  “I wonder if she’s hurting…

   The song came around to the first chorus.  But while Ai sang her lines, Reina suddenly looked down, putting her hands to her eyes.  Confusion swept through the studio.  When Reina’s lines came, she missed the first couple words as she covered her face.  She sang her second line while looking down.  Her voice cracked.

   “What’s going on?” Risa whispered, panicked.  “Is she… Is she crying?”

   “She’s thinking of her,” Eri thought.  “She’s thinking of Mitsui Aika right now!

   The bridge followed right after the chorus along with Ai’s vocalization.  The two singers crossed each other.  But now, Ai was also facing down.  But trying to be as professional as possible, she lifted her head to sing out more.  In the process, she revealed two trails of tears, trickling down her cheeks.  Her voice was still smooth but her expression was not.

   “Ai-san…?” Risa whispered.  “What’s wrong with her?  Why is she crying?  I don’t want to see her cry like that!

   Reina now had her back turned to the camera.  She held the mic away from herself while she tried to wipe away her tears as best as she could without ruining her makeup.  By the time her part came, she turned to face the camera again, and sang with her all.  Even though she had just gotten rid of them, fresh new tears flowed from her eyes.

   The song finally came to an end with Ai’s vocalization.  As soon as the producer’s “Cut!” ran through the studio, the entire staff went rampant with confusion.  Why did they cry?  Don’t they know this is a live recording?  What happened?

   The two singers stepped off the set, wiping away what tears were left.  Ai forced a weak smile.

   “Otsukaresama deshita!” Ai yelled.

   “Otsukareina…” Reina mumbled, keeping her head down.

   Before they idols could be questioned more, Risa and Eri dashed forward and rushed them out of the studio, down the hall, and into the dressing room.

**  **  ** 

   The crowd of people gathered in Tokyo went wild.  Everybody had witnessed the tears on High-Queen’s faces through the big screen TV in the middle of the square.  They were all full of questions with no answers.

   One girl wearing a school uniform just kept on staring at the screen that was now black.  She had short black hair and was carrying a backpack.  The crowd was too preoccupied with their own confusion; nobody cared enough to notice this girl’s eyes watering.  She closed her eyes and let her tears fall.

   “Ren-chan… Ren-chan…

As you can see, the plot is unfolding  :glasses:

Hmm Reina being all nice, it must be because other people were about, and with LinLin there she couldn't be all nasty to Eri.

Eri has such conflicting feeling, she likes LinLin but has all the feelings for Reina confusing her, but it's LinLin that I feel sorry for she's stuck in the middle of ReiEri!

Ha Ha Erin panicing that she's fogotten something, lucky Risa was there to calm her down  :lol:

EriLin~! Uh-oh, Eri's losing herself already. poor Lin.

Ch. 20 started off cute, with Eri panicking, but then got serious. I guess the girls feel the emotions in the song a little too much.

Can't wait for next time!

@gab98:  :D YAY! you're here~  :twothumbs

@Thor87: it's okay, I don't bother with the quotes thing either :? TakaGaki will come a bit later, but I'm brainstorming, don't worry  :twothumbs

@kurosawa87: I'm threatening you guys to stay  :twisted:

@oddball: yeah, major tsundereina XD yeah, Linlin's got the worst end of the stick :smhid  you'll see~  :D

@rndmnwierd: yeah, Eri really loses it...  :shocked


Ah~ I love reading comments.  Almost as much as I love reading fics  XD

i feel like the story is going too fast... maybe because I plan to focus more on TakaGaki after TanaKame is settled, so I'm excited...?  XD

Here's the next chapter!  I might update again today, but we'll see  :P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 21

   “Yes, I understand… yes… we’ll both be there… we understand… okay.”

   Ai snapped her cell phone shut and leaned back into the couch.  Risa and Eri were sitting on folding chairs in front of her.  Reina was in the dressing stall, changing.

   “What did Tsunku-san say?” Risa asked carefully.

   “Well, he definitely saw the live recording,” Ai answered, rubbing her forehead.  “I don’t how he tuned in to a Japanese show from Paris, but he did.  He’s not too happy; he thinks it was unprofessional to show tears.  And Reina’s voice cracked too… We’re going to have a meeting about this as soon as he comes back from his business trip.”

   The room was silent for a while.  Eri looked down at her hands, trying to think.  Risa eyed the singer’s annoyed expression.

   “Ai-san…” she started in a low voice.  “Why did you cry?”

   “I told you already,” Ai answered, closing her eyes.  “Your song just got the better of me.  I got too into it.”  She smiled weakly.

   Risa saw that Ai wasn’t going to say more than what she already had told her, so she decided to keep her mouth shut… for now.  At that moment, Reina burst from the curtains, dressed in a black tank top with a gray miniskirt.  She stomped over, grabbed Eri’s wrist, and dragged her out of her chair.

   “Tanaka-san?  Wha—”

   “You come with me.”

   “Where are you two going?” Risa asked.

   “Just… it’s okay, we’ll be back,” Eri said while being pulled out of the room.  “Stay with Takahashi-san, Risa-chan.”

   Ai shot up from the couch and glared at Reina’s back.  Eri sent a comforting gaze toward her.  She was prepared now; maybe this was when she would finally face the yankii and stand up to her.  After all, she held a pretty dark secret of hers.

   Reina continued to drag Eri by her wrist, down the hallway.  The older girl stumbled after the singer, turning many corners.  Soon, they came to the emergency stairs.  Reina pushed the door open and let it close.  She slammed Eri against the wall and immediately met lips with her.  Eri didn’t fight back, but kept her eyes and mouth shut tight.

   Reina’s lips were quick and desperate as she kissed Eri’s lips over and over again.  She then dropped her head to suck on Eri’s neck, leaving a pink mark.  She suddenly seemed to realize her prey wasn’t fighting back, like her usual self.  She backed away little to look at the older girl’s face.

   “What are you thinking?” she asked, glaring.

   “I’m thinking why,” Eri answered.

   “Why what?”

   “Why do you do this, Tanaka-san?” Eri asked, opening her eyes.  Her gaze was almost as strong as the singer’s.  “Does doing this make you feel better?  What’s your reason for taking such actions?”

   “Because nothing matters,” Reina smirked.  “Every kiss we share, every touch… in the end, it doesn’t mean anything.  So I don’t care even if I do it with you, because it’ll absolutely mean nothing.”

   “Wrong answer,” Eri fought back, causing Reina to narrow her eyes.  “That’s not your reason; that’s only your justification for your actions.  But I know the reason.  I know why.”

   “Oh?” Reina questioned, smirking.  “Then why?”

   “Mitsui Aika,” Eri answered, holding on to Reina’s eye contact.

   The singer’s smirk wiped off her face.  Her eyes widened in fury.  “Who—”

   “You told me the day you were drunk,” Eri claimed.  “Maybe you don’t remember.”

   Reina glared as she took a step back.  “So what about Mitsui Aika?”

   “No, you want to ask me what I know about her,” Eri corrected, taking one step away from the wall.  “I know that you loved her.  I know that you trusted her more than anything.  And I know that she betrayed you.”

   “Stop.”  Reina took another step back as she put her hands to her head. 

   “I know that you dream about her,” Eri continued.  “I know that you do these kinds of things to me and to other girls so you can convince yourself that you’re over her.”

   “Stop…” Reina muttered, taking another step back.  She was clenching her hair in her fists.

   “But I also know that you can’t get over her,” Eri said.  “The fact that you cried while singing just now proves it.  You can’t get over her because you still don’t know why she left you.  You still don’t know what exactly made her ‘hate’ you.”

   “Stop,” Reina said, her voice a little be louder.

   “You know what I think, Tanaka-san?  I’m thinking that I pity you.  I pity you because you let one girl ruin your life for three years, and you don’t know how to get out of that pattern.”

   “Stop!” Reina shouted.

   “Because you let one girl change who you are… Because you let one betrayal determine the rest of your life.”

   “Stop!” Reina screamed.  She slammed the older girl back into the wall.  Eri clenched her teeth and shut her eyes, bracing herself.  But nothing met her lips.  She only felt a slight weight on her right shoulder… and something wet.

   Eri opened her eyes.  Reina was holding on to Eri’s shoulders as she cried into her shirt. 

   “Stop…” she sobbed.  “Please… just stop…”

   The singer slipped down to the floor as she held a firm grasp of the edge of Eri’s shirt.  She hung her head and cried out, pleading “stop” over and over again.  Eri looked up at the ceiling.  Her own tears started to well up.

   “Ah…” she thought.  “Now I know why I think about her so much.  Because I pity her… because she’s so weak and fragile… I need to help her… I’m so sorry…

   She kneeled on the ground and took the idol into her arms.  Reina continued to cry endlessly into Eri’s shoulders.

   “I’ve taken too big of a part in her life… I can’t turn back anymore... I’m so sorry, Linlin…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope that wasn't too confusing... maybe I didn't build up the atmosphere enough...  :?

but if this chapter completely threw you off, leave a question.  I'll clear up what should be cleared up  :)

But things are definitely starting to roll  :twothumbs
Until next time....  :byebye:

Tsunku's not happy, damn. Go Eri! Fight back! But oh no, she's going to have to talk to Lin Lin now, before she gets too wrapped up in everything. If she wants to help them both, it's best to nip it in the bud now.

“Oh my gosh, it’s a rollercoaster!  I’ve always wanted to go on that thing!”  She pulled the door open and dragged Risa out by her hand.  “Come on, come on, come on!”
Lovely to imagine  :w00t:

Instead, it headed straight for the loop-de-loop, in which Risa made a glass-breaking scream, and cut off Ai’s blood circulation in her arms.
OMG   :wahaha:

Quote
“Gaki-san, I’m sorry I can’t carry you.  You have to walk, come on,” Ai said, still laughing.
Jezzzzz  XD

Risa would’ve broken down already, but the one thing that kept her going was that Ai kept on holding her hand.  That was the only thing that made Risa feel like it was all worth it.
Lovely  :wriggly:

They both turned towards the direction of the sound and spotted a couple teenagers staring at them… no, staring at one of them.

Ai removed her hands from Risa’s mouth and noticed that the younger girl’s cheeks were flushed dark red.

Eri touched the place where the yankii had patted.  The warmth of her hand was lingering there.
Hmmm

“Okay, I’m turning the mics on,” Risa said.  Ai gave a thumbs-up as a signal.  Risa ignored it and looked down.  Ai shot a pleading look to Eri in the back, who just shrugged.
Like to think it's a lovers quarrel  :D

But that was a lie.  She was thinking about something… someone.  About that person’s actions, that person’s umbrella, that person’s tears, that person’s warm hand patting her head… Everything was jumbled up together like puzzle pieces that would never fit.
She's starting to feel Teh LOVE

As the two girls turned the corner, with the entrance of the park right across the street, they saw a short girl with sunglasses on, walking towards them.

Eri’s eyes almost popped out of her sockets.  What was with her?  Why was she smiling like that?
XD

Quote
As soon as Eri turned around, her lips met with her girlfriend’s.
No!!! Reina might be hiding somewhere and looking!

Quote
“She’s thinking of her,” Eri thought.  “She’s thinking of Mitsui Aika right now!”
Maybe she's thinking about you Kamei!

Quote
  “Ren-chan… Ren-chan…”
Aika

“Ah…” she thought.  “Now I know why I think about her so much.  Because I pity her
Is it.?. Hmmm

Man Reina got complety broken down because of Eri!

Eri feels pity for Reina, so she's gonna go with her insted of LinLin, hmm that can only end in tears, quite literally for Eri and Reina and as suspected Lin gets the 'shoert end of the stick' as you put it, wondering if thats the best thing to happen to her though :cry:

@rndmnwierd: yeh, she's nipping the bud alright...  :(

@kRisZ: did you miss all the KameLin chapters I posted (4, 11, 14, 19)?  Linlin is Eri's girlfriend~~ go back and read them before you read this next one  XD

@kurosawa87: yup, it's all confusion and madness  :panic: :D

@oddball: yeah, Linlin's going down.  Sorry...  :cry:

thanx for the comments~  :kneelbow:
This update is the last KameLin chapter... so sad, they were so sweet  :gyaaah:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 22

   “I won’t say I saw it coming but I guess I should’ve expected it.”  Linlin turned her head to the older girl next to her on the bench. 

   “I’m so sorry,” Eri said, her head dropped down.  “It’s not that I don’t like you anymore, I just…”

   “It’s okay,” the younger girl interrupted.  “You were too good to be true anyway.”  She gave a weak laugh. 

   “That’s not true,” Eri said, turning to look at the girl next to her.  “In all honesty, you were much more than I could ever hope for.  You made me smile when no one else could.  But… it’s just… it’s not fair to you, to be with someone like me.”  Someone as unfaithful as me.

   “Well, now it’s my turn to disagree,” Linlin countered, smiling a little.  “When I first met you… I was really happy.  It seemed so unreal, to actually meet the person I’d been admiring for such a long time.  And when you accepted my proposal… that was even more dreamlike.”

   “I’m sorry…”

   “No, don’t apologize.  Never apologize.  You did nothing wrong.”

   “I did too many things wrong,” Eri disagreed.

   “Don’t say that,” Linlin said.  “If we’re not meant to be together, than we’re not.  There’s nothing we can do about it.”

   There was silence for a while.  Memories of the past couple weeks ran through both their minds.

   “There’s someone else… right?” Linlin asked carefully.  Eri nodded in response.  “Do you love her?”

   “No, I don’t love her,” Eri immediately answered.  “I actually don’t even like her that much.  But… I can’t leave her.  I’ve gone too deep into her life already, it’s my fault.”

   “I’m not sure if I understand everything…” Linlin said.  “But I won’t dig further.  You know I never really dig into other people’s business too much.”

   “Yeah, that’s true.”  Eri smiled a little at the memory when Linlin cheered her up with her cookbook.

   “But if someone needs you more than me,” the younger girl continued, “I can let you go.  Actually, I think I can even smile while doing it.”

   She jumped up from the bench as Eri also stood up.  Linlin turned to her ex-girlfriend with a big grin.

   “As long as I know that you’re doing what you want to do,” she said, “I think that will be my own happiness and encouragement.”

   Eri tried to smile at the energetic girl.  But tears of guilt started to well up in her eyes again.

   “Eri, don’t cry!” she thought.  “You don’t deserve to cry; if anyone should be crying, it’s Linlin.  Suck it up!

   She felt a pair of arms around her waist.  Linlin buried her head into Eri’s shoulder for a moment, and then stepped back again.  Fresh tears were visible on her face in contrast to her curved-up lips.

   “Just one last hug,” she explained. 

   “I thought you were going to stay smiling,” Eri teased, laughing a little.

   “I am smiling,” Linlin argued.  “I mean, I am kind of sad… it’s the first time I’ve been dumped.  But then again, you were my first girlfriend.”

   Eri hung her head, trying to wipe away her tears quickly.  “I’m sorr—”

   “Chin up and stay sharp, senpai!” Linlin ordered.  “Whatever you need to do… I wish you only the best.”

   “Yes,” Eri started.  “I’m sorr—”  Linlin narrowed her eyes.  “—I also wish you the best.”

   “That’s better,” Linlin grinned.  Her tears continued to flow down her cheeks.  “You were my first love and girlfriend, senpai.  I’ll never forget you.  No matter what, you can’t forget me either, okay?”

   Eri shook her head furiously.  “I’ll never forget you, Lin-chan.”

   “Well, I guess this is the end, senpai,” the younger girl smiled.  “Sayonara.”

   “Sayonara,” Eri whispered back. 

   Holding on to her ex-girlfriend’s last words, Linlin turned and walked away without looking back.  Eri’s eyes were dry now.  She clenched her teeth as she kept her gaze on the heartbroken girl.

   “Giving love only to take it back again, is much crueler than not giving love at all,” she thought.  “And I have just committed that cruel act to an innocent girl…

   Eri watched the girl she had just dumped disappear out of the park.

   “Endure the guilt, Eri.  That is your punishment.  That is the price you must pay for the cruel act.

Poor Lin but she took it well and didn't lash out to make Eri feel any worst which is great for Eri but now hopefully she can move on

Good, it's better to endure a little pain now, than a lot later on. Now Eri can concentrate on Reina and Takagaki can concentrate on each other!

@kurosawa87: yeah... But the fact that Linlin was nice about it probably hurt Eri more  :cry:

@rndmnwierd: yup yup!  it's TanaKame time now~  :D


okay, next chapter!!!  XD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 23

   Eri slipped out of her sneakers and shuffled towards the living room, dragging her feet.  Risa was sitting on the couch, eating popcorn, watching a movie.

   “Tadaima…” Eri mumbled, slumping down on the couch next to her friend.

   “Okaeri,” Risa replied without looking up from the screen.  “You were on a date with Linlin, right?  Did you eat lunch yet?”

   “No, I wasn’t on a date and no, I didn’t eat yet,” Eri answered, leaning back.  “I broke up with her.”

   Risa’s head whipped around with an alarmed expression.

   “You broke up with her?” she questioned.  “Why?  I thought you were happy with her?”

   “Long story…” Eri mumbled.  “Can we talk about this later?  I’m so tired…” 

   “Well… I guess…” Risa said, putting down the popcorn bowl on the coffee table.  She looked at her best friend, all pale and exhausted.  Something on her neck caught Risa’s eye, a pink spot that was darker than the rest of her skin.  She reached out and grabbed the collar of Eri’s shirt and pulled it to the side a little to get a better look.

   “Eri…” Risa started, her eyes wide in shock, “what’s this?”

   Eri looked down at her neck.  The mark that Tanaka Reina had left back at the stairs hadn’t disappeared yet.  She immediately slapped Risa’s hand away and stood up.  She put her hand over the pink mark to conceal it.

   “I thought you broke up with her?” Risa said.

   “I did,” Eri answered, looking down.  “Linlin didn’t do this.”

   “Then who—”

   “Risa, can we please not talk about this?  I’m really tired.”

   “No, we’re definitely talking about this,” Risa said, her expression growing more furious.  “Who did that to you?  You just broke up with Linlin and you said it wasn’t her.  That means someone did this to you while you were still Linlin’s girlfriend?  Eri, were you cheating on her?”

   “No!” Eri contradicted.  “How could you even think that?  You know me better than that!”

   “I do know you better than that,” Risa agreed.  “So someone forced this on you, right?  Who is it?  Who would do—”

   “Risa, just… just stop.  I don’t want to talk about this right now.”  Eri touched her forehead and closed her eyes.

   “Why are you protecting this person?” Risa demanded.  “You’ve been acting really weird lately, Kameha—”

   Then the memories hit.  How Eri was acting weird ever since the first High-Queen meeting… How she came back with Tanaka Reina and wouldn’t look at anybody in the eye… How she hesitated to go find Tanaka Reina at the recording studio… She gasped.

   “Tanaka Reina,” Risa whispered.  “Tanaka Reina did this to you.”  Eri looked away to the side.  “I’m right, aren’t I?  She did this to you!  And I… I didn’t know…?”

   “Risa-chan, it’s fine now,” Eri assured.  “I’m handling it.”

   “You’ve been acting weird since the very first High-Queen meeting.  That mark is still there.  You’re obviously not ‘handling’ it.  How could I not know?  You’re my best friend yet…”

   Then, a different memory hit Risa.  Someone’s voice echoed in her head… “Next victim”…

   “She knew…” Risa whispered, her eyes staring into space.  “Ai-san knew this was happening to you…”

   “That’s enough, just stop Risa-chan,” Eri said firmly.  She didn’t want her friend to get into a fight because of her.  “I can take care of myself; you don’t need to go all ‘mom’ on me.”

   “She knew but she didn’t stop it!” Risa yelled.  “How could she… how could she…?”

   “Risa-chan, I said stop!” Eri shouted back.  “I’m perfectly fine so you don’t have to worry.”

   With that, she stomped up the stairs, into her room, and slammed the door shut.  Risa stood motionless for a minute.  She processed everything in her head.

   “Tanaka Reina forced that on Eri.  That’s why Eri was acting weird.  Eri wouldn’t tell me anything.  Takahashi Ai knew.  But she didn’t say anything.  And she didn’t try to stop it… and I trusted her.

   The realization hit like a punch in the stomach.  Risa quickly gathered herself again.  She immediately put on her sneakers and dashed out the door.  She dialed a number on her cell phone as she ran down the street.

   “Tsunku-san?” she said.  “What is the address of High-Queen’s dorm?”

Yeah, I'm gonna have some people chase me down after this chapter...  :badluck:
Don't worry, this is as terrible as it gets... for now  :nervous

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 24

   “Coming!” Ai called to the restless doorbell.  She walked out of her room and to the front door.  The bell continued to ring over and over again.  Whoever was pressing the doorbell was about to break it, and that was going to seriously annoy her.

   “I said I’m coming!” Ai yelled, walking a little faster.  She reached out and opened the door to reveal her song writer, clad in jeans and a t-shirt.  Sweat trickled down her face as she breathed heavily.

   “Gaki-san?” Ai said, her eyes widening.  “What are you doing at my house?  Did you run here?”

   Risa inhaled and exhaled a couple times before wordlessly marching into the living room.  Ai stepped aside before she could be pushed away. 

   “Did you run up the stairs or something?” Ai laughed.  “You shouldn’t do that, we live on the 8th floor.  Do you want some water?”

   “Where’s Tanaka-san?” Risa huffed. 

   “Um… she’s not home at the moment... But you can leave a message with me, if you want.”

   “I guess I’ll have to settle for just one of them,” Risa thought.  “Why… why…” She tried to get the words out but nothing came out except puffs of air.  Maybe she shouldn’t have run all the way here…

   “Gaki-san, are you okay?” Ai asked, concerned.

   Risa straightened her back.  She glared right into the singer’s eyes.

   “Why didn’t you tell me?” she demanded.

   “Didn’t tell you… what?” Ai questioned, unsure.

   “Why didn’t you tell me that Eri was Tanaka Reina’s so-called victim?” Risa yelled.  The older girl’s face hardened.  “Oh, now you get what I’m talking about.  So you really did know what was going on.  You knew but you didn’t tell me!”

   “I didn’t think it was necessary to tell you,” Ai answered quietly.

   “You didn’t think it was necessary?” Risa said, her voice climbing up a couple octaves.  “Eri’s my friend!  My best friend was getting hurt because of your partner, and you didn’t think it was necessary to tell me?”

   “I have no obligation of telling you what you don’t know,” Ai said firmly.  “And I tried to help.  Kamei-san knows that.”

   “Well you didn’t help enough,” Risa growled through her teeth.  “Because she still has that damn mark on her neck!”

   “You don’t know the whole story,” Ai argued.  “Kamei-san knows a lot more.  She knows what she’s doing.”

   “You’re right, I don’t know the whole story because nobody ever thought it necessary enough to tell me!”

   “Gaki-san, you’re over reacting—”

   “I’m over reacting?” Risa shrilled.  “My best friend was abused right under my nose and you didn’t tell me.  And you think I’m over reacting?”  She paused to glare at Ai’s pained expression.  She lowered her voice into a soft whisper.  “And I trusted you…”

   “Okay,” Ai said, rubbing her forehead.  “Let’s just calm down and talk about this—”

   “Wouldn’t you also be like me right now if you found out that your friend got hurt like this?” Risa interrupted.  “And nobody told you?”

   “Gaki-san—”

   “And to think you were keeping this kind of thing from me!”

   “Just a minute—”

   “Are you cruel enough to just watch this kind of thing happen right in front of you?” Risa screamed.  “Why didn’t you tell me?”

   “Because I wanted to protect you!” Ai yelled. 

   She pulled the younger girl into a tight embrace.  Risa stiffened as her eyes grew wide by the older girl’s sudden action.

   “Because I didn’t want you to become like Kamei-san…” Ai said into Risa’s ear.  “Because I know Reina too well… and if she noticed you, she would’ve gone after you too.  I didn’t want to see that happen!”

   “You didn’t think of just warning me?” Risa whispered.

   “The moment I tell you about Reina would’ve been the moment you jump into her life after Kamei-san,” Ai explained.  “I am a cruel person.  I didn’t care who Reina knocked up as long as it wasn’t you.  I wanted you to be safe; I didn’t want you to get hurt.”  I didn’t want to lose you.  Not again.  Never again.

   Risa pushed the singer’s shoulders to look into her eyes, pleading in desperation.  However, her own expression was not that of sympathy.  Tears of anger streamed down her face.

   “Well you just failed your mission,” Risa said.  “Because as soon as I realized you knew… you were the one who hurt me.”

   With that, she broke away from Ai’s hold and walked out the door, not looking back.  The singer let Risa’s last words echo through her head.  She slipped down to the floor with a hopeless expression.  Her hands traveled down the wall, searching for something to hold on to, with no avail.  She bit down on her lips as tears flowed down her cheeks.

   “I lost her again…” she thought.  “I swore never again… but I lost her…

   She beat her fist over her heart.  Then, she started crying out loud, not caring about who would hear.  For no pain was worse than losing someone twice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

how was that?  :on speedy: :on speedy: :on speedy:

Aaaaand everything finally clicks for Gaki-san. I would probably be pretty pissed too, but maybe not as calm, so I think she handled it well. But I can't wait to see how Ai will salvage this one and what Risa will do to Reina once they meet face to face again.

@kurosawa87: yeah, she just "protected" her in the wrong way  :(

@rndmnwierd: I know, right? But nothing TOO bad will happen to Reina... not after this chapter  :)

@kRisZ: i love your last three quotes.  Curiosity is torturous, no?  :twisted:

@Swtme03: don't worry, I wouldn't be able to keep TakaGaki away from each other.  I wouldn't be able to sleep at night  :badluck:

Thanks so much for all the comments!  XD
I was gonna post two chapters today, since it's a saturday, but I had to go to my violin lesson...  :smhid
then I had to shopping for food. empty fridge, what can I say?  :err:

But I still got one update for you guys!  :onioncheer:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 25

   The front door slammed shut as Risa kicked off her shoes and stomped back into her own house.  She bit down on her lips as she wiped away what was left of her tears.

   She heard a door open on the second floor.  Then, she heard fast footsteps, running down the stairs.  Risa could tell that Eri was not happy from the wrinkle in her nose.

   “Where were you?” the turtle demanded.  “What did you do now?”

   “I didn’t do anything,” Risa replied coolly.  She ignored her friend’s glare and walked into the living room.  But Eri grabbed her shoulders before she could sit down on the sofa.

   “Don’t give me any of that!” Eri yelled.  “I’m not stupid.  You’re eyes are still watery.  What did you do?”

   “I went to High-Queen’s apartment,” Risa answered, keeping her voice calm.

   “You what?  Wha-what did you say to Tanaka-san?”

   “I didn’t say anything, she wasn’t there.”

   “Takahashi-san?”

   “I told her what I think of her keeping secrets from me.”  Eri quickly thought of the various things Risa could be thinking.  Her eyes widened in horror.

   “Risa-chan, I told you to drop it, didn’t I?” Eri yelled.

   “You expect me to drop it when my best friend got forcefully… raped?”  Risa could hear her voice rising in pitch but she didn’t care.

   “I didn’t get raped!  Where did you get that idea?” Eri denied.  “Risa, this is my problem, my issue.  I’ll handle it.”

   “Eri, I’ve known you for too long to just let this go,” Risa argued.  She sighed and breathed in and out.  She opened her mouth and tried to take a softer tone.  “Why did you keep this from me?  Why… Why are you protecting Tanaka Reina?”

   Eri looked at Risa’s desperate eyes.  Eyes full of concern, full of love.  She sighed.  Risa had always been the “mom” since they were young.  Even though they were the same age, Eri had always been so soft-spoken that Risa would act like the older one.  And of course, Sayumi liked to be babied by her.  Eri took her friend’s hand and held it between her own hands.

   “I’ll tell you what I can, Risa-chan,” she said quietly.  “It’s not my secret to tell, but I’ll tell you as much as I can.”

   Risa could tell Eri was being sincere, so she nodded in response.

   “Tanaka-san,” Eri started, “is in a very fragile state.  She’s had a rough time in the past, so she drinks in an attempt to forget.  She can’t sleep well at night so she takes pills.  She looks strong but she can break down at any moment.  Are you getting this?”

   Risa slowly nodded.

   “Well,” Eri continued, “there’s a lot more I could tell you but I don’t think I should.  It’s not my own story.  Can you understand this?”

   Risa nodded again.

   “Okay,” Eri started again.  “So I do know a lot more about Tanaka Reina now.  A lot more than I bargained for.  And because I know too much, I feel that it’s too cruel to leave her in such a fragile state.”

   “Why is it your job to straighten her up?” Risa whispered.  “Why can’t someone else do it?”

   “Because nobody else knows this much about her,” Eri answered.

   “Her leader seems to know a lot,” Risa grumbled.

   “But she hasn’t seen the way Tanaka-san suffers,” Eri replied.  “I’ve seen her cry, I’ve seen her tears.  They left a mark on my memories that I can’t erase.  I feel cruel to just leave her with all those scars.  I have to help her.”

   “How?  You met her two months ago, how can you help her?”

   “Actually, I think I already know how,” Eri answered.  “I’m not sure if it’s the best way, but I have to try.  Risa-chan, you just have trust me on this.”

   “… Are you sure you know what you’re doing?” Risa asked slowly.

   “Absolutely sure,” Eri confirmed with no hesitation.  She squeezed her friend’s hand in reassurance.

   Risa sighed deeply.  She then put her other hand on top of Eri’s.

   “Okay,” she whispered.  “I trust you.  But if you get into any kind of danger, you have to let me know.  Can you do that for me?”

   “Yes,” Eri answered, smiling.  She took her friend into a hug.  “Thank you, Risa-chan.  I’ll let you know what happens, okay?”

   “Okay.”

   “And make up with Takahashi-san,” Eri said, backing away.  “I don’t want you to fight with your friend because of me.”

   “… I’ll handle that myself,” Risa grumbled, arching her eyebrows at the thought.  Eri rolled her eyes.

   “Everything will be fine, Risa-chan,” she assured.  “I promise.”

A little more friendly, right?  :hee:

Phew talk about catching up on the updates. You update fast :sweatdrop:


So Eri broke up with LinLin because of Reina? I wonder if its more than just feeling sorry for the singer? XD But you know, I would keep LinLin if I were Eri. Just for the crepes :lol: But how will Reina react if she finds out about Eri's dumping the panda? And I'm guessing Aika will be making her appearance soon?


Oh the drama in TakaGaki world :doh: Will Gaki let go of her dream and quit being the girls' songwriter? How will Ai pacify the bean? Will they kiss and make up (literally? :twisted:)

@badsaints: I DO update fast, don't stay away for too long!  XD


Okay, here's a SUPER long chapter with the entrance of another character!  :cow:
I also threw in some random extra characters, just for the hell of it  :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 26

   The turtle continuously poked her head in and out of the school gate.  Various high school students wearing uniforms flooded out of the school.  They all passed by looking at her oddly or just ignoring her.  She sighed.

   “I hope I’m doing the right thing…” Eri thought.  “Get a grip Eri!  You have to do this!  Think of Tanaka-san.  Think of Linlin!  If you fail, that means you hurt Linlin for nothing.  You can’t live with that!

   She finally straightened her back and started to watch the students coming out of the gate again.  She noticed two girls walking out, talking to each other.

   “Um, excuse me,” Eri said, slowly.  The two girls turned around.  One of them had a blue ribbon in her thick, shoulder-length hair.  The other girl had her long hair in a ponytail.

   “Yes?” the ponytail girl answered.

   “Do you know a student named Mitsui Aika?” Eri asked.

   “Hm… I don’t think so…”  The pony tail girl rubbed her chin.  “Do you know her, Risako-chan?”

   “She sounds familiar…” Risako mumbled.  Then, she clapped her hands.  “Ah! Mitsui Aika-senpai!  You know her too, Nakki!  Second year, class 5?  The one with the smile?”

   “Ah! The one that’s obsessed with dogs!”  the girl called Nakki exclaimed, also clapping her hands.  “She’s pretty famous, isn’t she?

   “Do you know where I can find her?” Eri asked.

   “Oh, I see her coming out of the building now!” Risako said, pointing to the school across the field.

   “Thank you very much,” Eri said to the two students, bowing.  She then focused on the other two girls coming out the school, walking towards the gate.  One girl was incredibly tall, and had long wavy hair.  The other girl was petit with short hair.  They laughed and talked until Eri caught them at the gate.

   “Excuse me?”

   The two girls turned to look at the stranger.

   “Mitsui Aika-san?” Eri questioned.  The shorter girl looked up at the taller girl, and then looked back at the stranger with a small smile.

   “I’m Mitsui Aika,” the short-haired girl answered.  “May I ask who you are?”

   “My name is Kamei Eri,” the turtle introduced herself.  “I’m High-Queen’s fashion coordinator.”

   Aika’s smile dropped a little as her eyes grew wide.  She looked down for a while, and then slowly smiled again, a little sadly this time.  She looked back at her tall friend.

   “Kumai-chan,” Aika said, “you can go ahead.  I’ll see you tomorrow, okay?”

   “Okay, Mittsi,” the tall girl answered.  “Don’t forget the Siberian husky picture!”

   “I won’t,” Aika reassured, grinning.  She waved to her friend who walked away from her.  She then turned back to face Eri with a smile.

   “Well, I’m sure you’re not here just to visit me,” Aika said.  “We can go talk by the swings, if that’s okay with you.”

   “That’s fine,” Eri answered, smiling.  Aika had a nice impression; her uniform was ironed and her overall appearance was neat and clean.  Unlike other high school girls, she wasn’t wearing any make up. 

   The two girls walked over to the swing sets in the field.  The school was almost empty by now, except for club meetings and such.  Aika sat on one swing and Eri took the swing next to her.

   “I read about Tsuji-san’s pregnancy in the paper,” the younger girl started.  “You must be her replacement.”

   “Yes, I am,” Eri answered. 

   “Since you succeeded in finding my school, I assume you know about me and Ren-chan.  Right?”

   “I know the basic idea, but not everything.”  So she calls her ‘Ren-chan’…

   “… How is she doing?” Aika asked, hesitantly.

   “I won’t lie to you,” Eri replied.  “She’s not doing so well.  She drinks a lot and she takes sleeping pills too.  She’s trying to forget about you but that’s not something she can force upon herself.  She’s suffering, Mitsui-san.”

   “… And she’s been like this for the last three years?” Aika asked with a sad smile.

   “Yes… that’s why I’m here, Mitsui-san,” Eri said.  “I’d like to know the full story, including the reason you left Tanaka-san.  That’s the one piece of information she’s missing.  That’s the one thing that keeps her in the past.”

   Aika closed her eyes.  She breathed out shakily.  Eri could tell she was trying to hold back the tears.  The younger girl opened her eyes again and sighed.

   “I was a really big fan of High-Queen,” Aika started.  “I would follow their schedule and make scrap books and sing their songs…  I was one of the top members in the fan club too.  I could only watch them from afar in concerts but I always dreamed of meeting them in person.

   “One day, a fan club member got sick so she handed over her backstage pass to me.  I was ecstatic; I would finally be able to meet my idols!  So that’s how I first met Ren-chan.  She stared at me for a long time, even when she was signing my autograph book.  She asked what my name was.  She whispered to me that she would remember that name.  For the next couple weeks, all I could think about was whether Tanaka Reina would really remember me.

   “The next live came around.  I followed them after the recording, even to their van.  I accidently dropped my autograph book in the middle of the crowd.  I crouched down to pick it up but someone had already kicked it away.  I crawled on the ground, looking for it.  Then it got really quiet.  I realized the people around me had backed away.  I spotted my notebook right near the door of the van.  Someone picked it up, walked over, and crouched in front of me...”

   Aika paused for a while, smiling at the memory.  Eri waited patiently.

   “Ren-chan handed me the autograph book.  She said, ‘Here you go… Mitsui Aika-chan’.  I was so happy she remembered me that I didn’t even realize she was giving me a different piece of paper along with my notebook.  I looked at it later; it was an advertisement for a pizza shop.  I took a cab there as fast I could and… Ren-chan was there.  We ate together and we talked.  She said she wanted to get to know me better.  Until then, I had only thought of Tanaka Reina as my idol.  But from that moment, I started to think of her as… just a girl.  We started to meet often and we would always talk like old friends.

   “One day, she confessed to me.  She said she knows that I’m still young but she also said she can’t imagine a life without me.  I accepted.”

   Aika smiled and turned to look at her listener.  Eri smiled back and nodded in encouragement.

   “We were together for three months.  I was happy during our relationship.  But I was also very uneasy.  Ren-chan was an idol so she always had people around her.  We did get privacy sometimes, but that was a rare occasion.  I always had to watch other girls, fawning over her…”

   There was silence.  Eri looked at the younger girl to see what was stopping her.  Aika was still smiling but the tears streaming down her face contradicted her happy mask.

   “I… I was jealous.  I was still in middle school, it was a natural emotion.  But… just watching Ren-chan smile at other people… it wasn’t something I could take.  I wasn’t mature enough to tell the difference between her smile for me and her smile for her fans.  That’s why I broke up with her.  I realized I couldn’t handle Ren-chan’s publicity so I left her.

   “I know that I hurt her.  I didn’t mean it when I said I hated her.  I actually… I actually still loved her… so much.  But I was too young to handle the stress, even for our love.  That’s why I left her.”

   Aika hung her head and let her tears drop in the sand box.  Her curved-up lips trembled as she wiped her eyes with her sleeves.  Eri reached out and stroked her back. 

   “Mitsui-san,” she started, “I’m going to ask you to talk to Tanaka-san.  I think you need to tell her why you left her.  ‘Hate’ is such a strong word; you can’t leave it in Tanaka-san’s heart like that.”

   Aika nodded.  “I’m willing to be honest,” she said.  “But… Ren-chan probably doesn’t want to see me.”

   “That’s not true,” Eri whispered.  “This will help her, I promise.”

   “… Kamei-san, can I ask you something?”

   “Yes?”

   “Are you in love with Ren-chan?”

   Eri smiled and shook her head.  “I’m just someone butting into her business.”

   Aika smiled back.  “But the fact that you came to see me like this means you care, right?” she insisted.  “Kamei-san, please take care of Ren-chan.  She’s a good person.”

   “I’ll only keep that promise if you complete your side of the deal first,” Eri teased.

   Aika laughed and nodded.  “I’ll talk.  I’ll do whatever I can to help her.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So most of it was kind of explanatory, huh?  :P
Ah~ I had so many things imagined for ReinaxAika but I didn't want to make this too long :panic:
see ya next time~  :byebye:

Man just caught up, Again!

chapter 22

well at least LinLin went out with style, her being nice about it seems really to be biting at Eri's concience.

chapter 23

Uh-Oh Risa found out about Reina attacks on Eri - and she figured out that Ai knew and din't tell her  :panic:
this can only go badly....

chapter 24

I think we can safely say that Risa is pissed!

Poor Ai she completly miss judged the situation and she thinks she has lost Gaki because of it. Wonder who the person is that Ai is refering to when she says 'not again?'

Chapter 25

Eri's reasoning for being with Reina is kinda weird but it does kinda make sense, in a odd sort of way!

Chapter 26

H!P Kids Cameo, nice!

So Eri meets Aika, poor Aika she was too young to handle the relationship and so she ended it, she should relly of told reina the real reason rather than tellingReina she hated her when she did not.

Will Aika manage to bring Reian round, with Eri of Course?

@kurosawa87: yeh, Reina's just being... emo  :(

@Ada: I decided that I would "finish" part of the TanaKame arc.  TakaGaki is coming in a couple chapters~  :D

@oddball: Yeah, at that time, Aika was pretty confused about things. At that age, you don't really have the will to fight for things.  When the going gets tough, you give up.  That's what she did  :cry:

@Thor87: OMG i thought I had updated already! I mean, I had the chapter...  :shocked


Thanx for the comment, guys!  This update is REALLY short.   XD
It's kind of like a linking chapter between the previous important chapter and the next important chapter  :P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 27

   “This was not what I meant when I said High-Queen has to maintain the good ranks.”

   Tsunku threw down the newspaper on the table.  The headlines read, “High-Queen: Why Cry?— Pop Idol Duo Breaks Down”.  Ai and Reina sat stiffly, staring down at the table.  Risa and Eri sat across them in the same position.

   “Girls, it’s good that you’re getting emotional about the song,” Tsunku continued.  “Getting teary is okay too.  But not straight out crying!  And both of you too!  Reina, you couldn’t even hold that one note!  What is up with you girls?”

   “We accept the fact that we made a mistake, Tsunku-san,” Ai said calmly.  “But I wish you would weigh out our good facets and bad facets instead of just focusing on scolding us.”     Ai looked up at Tsunku with a steady gaze.  The producer cleared his throat.

   “Well… I guess I should commend you for making Top 5 on the Oricon…” he said in a low voice.

   “Screw Top 5,” Reina muttered.  “We got 1st, damn it.”

   “Yes, and Weekly First…” Tsunku agreed.  “That is a pretty good result there.  But still, it was your first live recording for this single.  It was unprofessional to cry in the middle of the performance.”

   “We understand,” Ai answered.  Reina cussed under her breath.

   “Okay then… there’s no other business at hand so I guess I’ll cut this meeting short,” Tsunku said, sighing.  “Congratulations, High-Queen.  Congratulations, Niigaki-san on your first big break.”

   “Thank you, Tsunku-san,” Risa said, pushing herself up from the chair. 

   Everybody started to pile out of the room.  Tsunku had already disappeared somewhere while the four girls stood in the elevator.  Ai glanced at her song writer.  Risa noticed this but kept her gaze straight. 

   When the elevator finally reached the first floor, Ai and Reina put on their sunglasses and briskly walked out at a fast pace.  Eri hesitated for a while, but then started walking after them.  Risa grabbed her shoulders and spun her around.

   “What are you doing?” she whispered loudly.  “Why are you going after them?”

   “Remember how I told you to trust me?” Eri reminded.

   Risa bit down on her bottom lip.  She had a worried expression but she let her friend’s shoulder go.

   Eri ran across the front lobby.  High-Queen was at the door already.  Before Reina could take a step outside, the turtle grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

   “Wait… wait…” Eri huffed.

   “Don’t touch me,” Reina said in a low voice, glaring.

   Eri immediately let go.  “Meet me at the park tomorrow at noon,” she said.

   “What?” Reina asked.  Her expression was a mixture of confusion and irritation.

   “Tomorrow!  Park!  12 o’clock!  You have to promise!” Eri demanded.

   “I don’t need to promise you anything,” Reina shot back.

   “You have to come!  You absolutely have to come!” Eri shouted.

   “Could you lower your voice?  This isn’t some football stadium!” Reina growled.

   “You absolutely have to come!” Eri insisted in a loud whisper.  She looked at Reina with plain determination and desperation swimming in her eyes.  She could only see her own reflection in the singer’s sunglasses but Eri knew Reina was looking at her.

   “… If I feel like it.”  With that, the idol turned back and walked out of the building after her leader.

   “Tomorrow,” Eri thought.  “Tomorrow, I’ll find the real Tanaka-san.  Tomorrow, I’ll see if I did the right thing or not.  Tomorrow will either be the day of healing… or the day of more pain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next chapter is DEFINITELY more important  :)
I dunno if I'll update again tonight... we'll see  :grin:

@Thor87: yeah, that was like a linking chapter so it was short... here's the long one  XD

@kawaii beam: yay! I pulled out another lurker~ :twisted:


thanx for the comments, peeps~  :cow:

Here's the long chapter!  Reina/Aika confrontation!!!  :panic:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 28

   “Mitsui-san, are you feeling okay?”

   “I’m fine, Kamei-san.  I think you’re more nervous than me right now.”

   Aika laughed out loud.  Eri smiled a little. 

   “I guess you’re right.  I just keep on wondering whether it was… right to bring you here.  Whether it’s right to let Tanaka-san meet you.”

   “I’m wondering the same thing,” Aika replied.  “Whether I should be here… Maybe I’ll hurt Ren-chan even more today… but we have to try, don’t we?”

   Aika flashed her brilliant smile.  Eri nodded and grinned back.  This girl just radiated happiness all over the place.  She was always smiling, even when she was sad.  Right now, she was about to meet her ex-girlfriend that she had dumped, yet she was still smiling.

   “It’s almost 12 o’clock,” the younger girl remarked. 

   “She should be here soon,” Eri assured. 

   The two girls were sitting on the bench together.  They could see the park gate about ten meters away.  They tried not to look but they both knew all of their attention was focused on the park entrance.

   Eri noticed a black open-top car passing by.  After a couple seconds, the car passed by the entrance again but it was heading towards the other direction: it had a made a U-turn.  The car parked in the big empty space in front of the entrance. 

   Eri immediately recognized the petit girl getting out of the car.  She was wearing a black miniskirt with black boots.  She was wearing a purple sweatshirt over a gray tank top.  Her hair was in the usual style with two small curly ponytails on each side of her head; the rabbit hair.  She had sunglasses on and had her hands were shoved inside her sweatshirt pockets. 

   Eri stood up.  Reina noticed her, and started to walk towards the bench.  Then, Aika stood up from behind Eri, and revealed herself to the idol.  Reina stopped dead in her tracks.  It was hard to interpret her emotions because of her sunglasses, but Eri could see that her body had stiffened up.

   For a moment, it looked as though Reina was going to turn back and walk away.  Before she could find out whether her prediction was correct, Eri ran over to the singer, took her wrist, and dragged her over to the bench.  Reina shook of the older girl’s hand when she was within three feet of Aika.

   “Don’t touch me,” Reina said in a low, threatening voice.

   Eri looked back and forth from the singer to the student.  Aika’s gaze was steady as she looked straight at Reina.  The yankii was looking down to the side, her emotions still concealed by her sunglasses.  Aika smiled.

   “It’s been a long time, Ren-chan,” she started.

   “Did you do this?” Reina asked Eri, ignoring her ex-girlfriend.

   “I figured you two might have some things to talk out,” the older girl explained.

   “We have nothing to talk about,” the singer replied.

   “Liar,” Eri contradicted.  “You know better than anyone else that you have unfinished business with Mitsui-san.  I’m going to leave you two alone.  I’ll be at the entrance.”

   Eri looked towards Aika.  When she smiled in reassurance, the turtle nodded and looked at the idol to give her a firm glare.  Reina ignored her.  With that, Eri turned back and walked away from the bench.

   There was silence for a while.  Aika continued to gaze at her ex-girlfriend while Reina continued to look away to the side, her body completely frozen.

   “You’re still the same after three years,” Aika remarked, breaking the silence.  “You haven’t changed a bit.”

   “I have nothing to say to you,” Reina said coldly.

   “Well, I do,” Aika replied back.  “Kamei-san suggested the idea of talking to you to me.  But in the end, it was my choice to come here.  You don’t have to say anything.  I’m going to talk so you have to listen.”

   Reina turned her head towards the younger girl but her eyes were still fixed to the ground.  Aika smiled.  She was satisfied with the fact that Reina seemed to pay attention; just this little action was enough for her.

   “I’m going to tell you a secret, Ren-chan,” she started.  “Three years ago, when I said I hated you… I lied.  I didn’t hate you at all.”

   “I know that,” Reina replied in a low voice.  “You weren’t very convincing then.”

   “But it still hurt you.  So I’m sorry.”

   “Apologies don’t change anything.”

   “I know they don’t.  But it’s better than nothing at all.”  Aika paused for a moment to examine Reina’s face.  It was still hard to make out her expression.  “Here’s another secret: I didn’t hate you then… I actually loved you.  More than anything in the world, I loved you.”

   “Too late.”

   “It is too late.  But that’s not my point,” the younger girl insisted.  “My point is that you did nothing wrong back then.  It was all my own weakness.”

   “Weakness?”

   “Yes.  You always had… people around you, Ren-chan.  People that loved you.  I wasn’t sure if my love for you was strong enough, for me to have a closer place in your heart than anybody else.  I wasn’t strong enough to handle the stress, the doubt, the jealousy…”

   “… You kept all those emotions from me.”

   “Yes, I did.”

   “You kept all those feelings bottled up…”

   Reina’s hands curled into a tight fist as she clenched her teeth.  Her voice wasn’t as guarded as it usually was.  She had a softer tone now, more desperate. 

   “Why didn’t you tell me?  I could’ve… I could’ve helped you…  I could’ve supported you if you told me.  Why… Why couldn’t you just hold on to me…”

   Aika slowly moved her hands towards Reina’s face.  She gently removed the sunglasses from her face as the singer lifted her head.  Her cheeks were streaked with tears; her eyes were filled with resent and regret.  Her lips trembled in anger and misery.  Aika smiled sadly.

   “You’re right,” she said.  “I should’ve held on to you.  No matter what, I should’ve tried to fight off the doubt in my heart.”

   “Then why…?” Reina sobbed.  “Why didn’t you?”

   “Because I was so young, Ren-chan,” Aika replied, her shaky smile plastered on her face.  “I was only a second year in middle school.  I didn’t know if I could make such a commitment, even to you.  Staying with you and standing all the doubt… it wasn’t a decision that a 14-year-old girl could easily make.  I wasn’t mature enough to know my love for you was something that could fight off even the worst misfortune.  I know that now.  But…”

   “It’s too late,” Reina finished.

   “It’s too late,” Aika agreed.  “After what I put you through by leaving… that’s not something we can change.  All I can do is promise you this: the next time I fall in love, I won’t give up no matter what.”

   “… and I’ll never let go, no matter what,” Reina promised, tears flowing uncontrollably down her cheeks.

   “I’m holding on to that promise,” Aika laughed.  Little teardrops started to travel down from her eyes as well.  She took Reina’s hand and placed the sunglasses on it.  “Chin up, Ren-chan!  I’ll never have doubt in love again.  In return, you can’t ever let love ruin your life.  Stay strong.  Be the Tanaka Reina I know.”

   Reina hung her head and cried out softly for a while. 

   “Never make the same mistake twice,” she said, her voice cracking.

   “Never make the same mistake twice,” Aika echoed.  “I won’t give up, and you can’t let go.”

   Reina bit down on her bottom lip.  She wiped away her tears with her sleeves and composed her face.  She put her sunglasses on, concealing her blood-shot eyes.  It seemed as though she had never taken it off in the first place.

   “Take care of yourself,” she whispered.

   “You too, Ren-chan,” Aika smiled.  “Sayonara.”

   “Sayonara.”

   With that farewell, the yankii turned her back towards the younger girl and walked away.  Aika watched her previous lover getting further away from her.  She smiled as she turned and started to walk towards the opposite side.

   “Stay strong, Ren-chan… Sayonara.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think that'll probably be the last of Aika... I don't see how I can fit her in anywhere else :depressed:
But Reina's problem is basically solved now... so I'm gonna get to working on some TanaKame  :inlove:
Oh, and TakaGaki will come into the picture more now  :twothumbs
until next time...  :byebye:

@kawaii beam: yup yup yup~ I can't wait to write it  :inlove:

@Thor87: well, it is a TanaKame fic... and TakaGaki  XD

@kRisZ: yup yup~ everything is cleared up now  :D

@badsaints: I won't forget TakaGaki~ how can I forget?  XD

@oddball: yup~ that was a happy chapter in its own way.  Both of them are at peace now  :twothumbs


Ah~ I love waking up in the morning and checking for comments~ it give me energy!  :cow: XD
So next, I'm planning on shifting into more of the TakaGaki arc  :onioncheer:
(they were supposed to be the main couple, I have NO idea how I elaborated so much on Eri)  :grr:
But TanaKame will still be there~  :shy2:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 29

   Eri kept on fidgeting by the park entrance.  She would decide to take a peek into the park to see how Reina and Aika’s conversation was going, but then she would stop herself and lean back on the brick wall again.

   “What am I doing?” she thought.  “They’re having a private conversation.  Why am I waiting here anyway?  Mitsui-san’s home is the other away… Tanaka-san’s car is right here!  That means I’ll run into her; it’s not like I can ask her about the conversation.  Maybe I should just leave…

   As soon as Eri turned, something pulled her back by her shirt. 

   “Where do you think you’re going?” the familiar low voice whispered into her ear.

   Eri jumped back and whipped around to face the singer. 

   “Tanaka-san!” she yelled.

   “You’re so loud…” Reina grumbled.  She turned and walked around her black car to the driver’s seat.  Eri ran over the opposite side of the vehicle to face the singer.

   “Wait!” Eri yelled, stopping Reina from getting into the open-top car.  “Um… so… how did it go?”  Eri, you idiot!  You’re not supposed to ask these kinds of things!  But I really want to know…

   Reina looked at Eri’s expectant yet hesitant expression.  She looked away.

   “Thanks…” she mumbled.

   Eri’s eyes widened.  Her mouth dropped open.  Did… Did Tanaka Reina just thank her?  The Tanaka Reina?  It was impossible to figure out her expression because of the sunglasses but… her tone of voice was different now.

   “Tanaka-san… why did you just say?” Eri asked in awe.

   “You heard me the first time,” Reina said, a little more loudly.

   “No, I didn’t hear you!” Eri insisted, her lips curving up a little bit from amusement.  “Say it again!”

   “I said…” Reina sighed, avoiding eye contact, “thanks.  It helped… kind of.”

   Eri beamed.  So Mitsui Aika really had cleared up Tanaka Reina’s heart.  She was free now; free from the blindness and the heavy weight on her shoulders.  The one chain that was holding her in the past was now broken.  She can move on now…

   “Get in,” Reina ordered, sliding into the driver’s seat.

   “What?” Eri said, doubting her ears.

   “Are you always loud because you can’t hear yourself?” Reina said.  “I said get in the car.”

   “Uh… why?” Eri asked as she obeyed.

   “I’m driving you home.”

   “What?”  Eri blinked furiously.

   “You really do need to go see a doctor about your hearing,” Reina said.  “Put your seatbelt on.”

   The older girl stared at the idol for a while.  She could tell Reina wasn’t going to wait forever, because she started the car and grabbed the handle without hesitation.  So Eri plugged in her seatbelt and stared straight ahead.  A smile slowly crept on to her face.

   “Tanaka-san must be relieved too…” she thought.  “Takahashi-san did say she actually is a very nice person… I guess it’s true.

   “I don’t understand you,” Reina suddenly said.

   “What about me?” Eri asked.

   “Why did you bother to tangle yourself up in my business?  Why would you do this for me?”

   “I didn’t do it for you,” Eri said.  “Well, I guess it was partly for you, but it was also for me.  One thing I can’t handle is a guilty conscience.  If I left you crying, I felt like it would bother me for the rest of my life.”

   “There was nothing for you to be guilty about.”

   “I guess ‘guilt’ isn’t the right word… But you know what I mean.”  Eri turned her head and flashed the driver a smile.  “Let’s just say I’m too nice for my own good, and leave it at that.”

   “And too stupid,” Reina mumbled.

   “Is this your car?” Eri questioned, ignoring the yankii’s last comment. 

   “It’s Ai’s,” Reina answered curtly.

   “So are you driving me home as a way to thank me?” Eri questioned playfully.  “Because I think you owe me a lot more than this.”

   “I’m driving you home because I feel like it,” Reina said.  “… And there’s some business I need to take care of with your friend.”

   Eri looked the singer with a confused expression, but Reina didn’t say more.  The rest of the car ride was pretty silent, except for Eri’s occasional sputtering from her hair being blown into her face.

   Finally, the black car stopped in front of a white house.  Eri got out of the car and walked towards the front door with Reina trailing right behind her.  The older girl unlocked the door and went inside.

   Reina examined the house as she took off her shoes.  Right across from the front door was the stairs to go up.  To the left was the living room; to the right was the kitchen. 

   “Kameha, is that you?”  Risa’s voice came from the room on the right, mixed with sizzling sounds.

   “Yup,” Eri answered, walking towards the kitchen while motioning to Reina.  “Did you just wake up?  It’s already way past noon and you’re having eggs?”

   “There was nothing else to eat,” Risa complained, not looking up from the stove.  “We should get more of those microwaveable stuff and canned foods.  You know… some soup, pasta, fruits… things like that.”

   Risa finally turned around and placed the sunny-side-up egg from the fry pan to the plate.  She picked up the plate and walked around the counter to place it on the table.  She looked up with a smile for Eri, but her face dropped when she spotted Reina right behind her.  But she quickly recomposed her face and cleared her throat.

   “Tanaka-san,” she greeted.

   “Niigaki-san,” Reina replied, taking off her sunglasses.

   “Risa-chan, Tanaka-san has something to say to you,” Eri explained.  She smiled at her friend, to indicate that her previous problem was solved.

   “Okay,” Risa said calmly.  “What is it?”

   “I know you fought with Ai because of me,” Reina started, her gaze piercing through Risa’s eyes.  “I want you to go make up with her.”

   “That’s not your business,” Risa said.

   “Yes, it is,” the singer insisted.  She sighed.  “I’ve… done some inexcusable things.  I regret it and I apologize to both you and Kamei-san.  But Ai… Ai had no part in this.  So don’t blame this on her.”

   “Why do you even care?” Risa shot back.  “Aren’t you supposed to care only about yourself?”

   “… I’ve been with Ai for a very long time,” Reina replied quietly.  “She’s done many things for me that I’m grateful for.  Now, I should help her.”

   Risa turned her head to the side.  Reina took out a piece of paper from her pocket and placed it on the table.  It was an advertisement for a club.

   “We went here last night,” the yankii started.  “Ai can’t handle alcohol very well, but she drank even more than me.  I stayed sane enough to get both of us home.  When I woke up today, she was already gone.  I’m assuming she’s here.”

   “Why are you telling me this?” Risa asked.

   “Because you’re the one who has to go talk to her if Ai is to return to her normal self,” Reina answered.  “She’s going to lose it real soon.”

   The two girls stared at each other for a while, testing each other’s sincerity.  Reina turned and walked out of the house without another word.  Eri hesitated for a moment, and then looked at her friend.

   “Risa-chan—”

   “I won’t go,” Risa said determinedly.  “I have nothing to say to her.  I won’t go.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay. I have to go imagine some TakaGaki scenes now...  :luvluv1:

Thanx for teh comment guys~ I guess you were all waiting for the TakaGaki arc, huh? :D

I'm gonna be REALLY honest... I got writer's block. I think  :shocked

After this chapter, I have no idea what to write. I know where I'm going with it but I dunno how to get to it. get it?  :nervous

I'll figure it out, I guess...  :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 30

   Risa shoved a fistful of popcorn into her mouth.  Eri laughed out loud while hugging a cushion.  The two friends were watching a comedy movie.  The turtle was fully enjoying the humor of the film while Risa had a deep scowl.  She would occasionally check the clock on the wall with worried eyes, but she would immediately drop back into her persistent, angry mode in a couple seconds. 

   “I won’t go,” Risa thought, chewing on the popcorn without tasting it.  “She should’ve told me that Eri was getting hurt.  She betrayed my trust.  I won’t go…

   “Risa-chan, are you listening?”

   “Huh?”  The bean broke out of her thoughts.

   “I said,” Eri repeated, “I called Tanaka-san before.  Takahashi-san is still not home.  It’s almost 10 o’clock.”

   “Why should I care,” Risa grumbled.  Even though she was still chewing, she took another fistful of popcorn and forced it into her mouth.

   “Risa-chan,” Eri sighed.  “I’m saying this now so you don’t regret it later.  I think you should go talk to her.”

   “No.”

   “The incident between me and Tanaka-san is settled now,” Eri insisted.  “There’s no reason for you to be in a fight with Takahashi-san.”

   “I trusted her so much,” Risa shot back.  “Yet she didn’t tell me the most important thing.”

   “She wanted to keep you safe,” Eri argued.  “Sure, maybe she didn’t do it the right way.  But that was her one and only goal.  Think about that.  I’ve already forgiven her, why can’t you?”

   Risa didn’t say anything.  Eri turned her attention back to the movie, hoping her words would take effect on her friend. 

   “Why is it that Eri can forgive Ai-san but I can’t?” Risa thought to herself.  “Is because Eri is just that important to me?  Or… maybe it’s because Ai-san is that important to me.  It’s because I feel so close to her, I expect to know everything she knows.  That’s why when she let me down, it hit me harder.  Because she’s just that… precious…

   Risa jumped up from the couch, startling her friend next to her.  The bean ran to the kitchen where the club advertisement was left on the table.  She grabbed it and ran to the door.

   “Kameha, you can go to bed first if you need to!” Risa yelled as she shoved her feet into her sneakers.

   “Okay,” Eri called back, making a smug face.  “Be careful!”

   Risa dashed out of the house and ran until she reached the city area.  There were lights everywhere, and people were still walking around.  She started to ask around where the club was.  She drifted further and further into an area she wasn’t familiar with, but she didn’t care.  She had to find Ai, wherever she was.

   Finally, Risa managed to arrive at the club.  She spotted a couple making out at the entrance.  As the bean tried to get through, the girl broke away from her lover’s kiss and blocked Risa’s way.

   “Woah, there,” she said.  “I need a form of ID to indicate that you’re at least 20 years of age.”

   “ID?  Damn it!” Risa said out loud.  She had run out of the house so quickly that she didn’t bring her wallet. 

   “Rika-chan, she’s obviously over 20 years old,” the girl’s lover said.  “How old are you, ojou-chan?”

   “Um… I’m 22 years old…”  Risa thought that this person was a boy but now that she looked closely, it was actually a girl dressed like a boy.

   “Yeah, I guess you’re right, Yossy,” Rika said, smiling.  “You can go on ahead.  But don’t tell anyone I let you through without ID check, okay?”

   “Ah… okay,” Risa said.  She finally set foot in the club.  When she looked back, she saw that the couple had gone back to making out.  Rika was giggling.

   Risa quickly pushed herself through the crowd.  The room was really dark, so she had to constantly make sure she wasn’t running into a wall.

   Finally, she came across the large dance floor, surrounded by tables and booths.  Risa quickly scanned the tables.  Ai was nowhere to be seen.

   “Aw, come on!” Risa groaned.  “Does this mean I have to go through the dance floor?  Ugh!

   Reluctantly, the bean started to push through all the dancers.  Most of them were drunk girls wearing frightfully revealing clothes.  Risa felt a hand slide down her back, and she jumped away.  She shook away the chill and continued to scavenge through the crowd of dancers.

   Risa finally spotted a familiar looking girl.  Her hair was long and wavy.  She was wearing a tight, black tube-top dress that barely covered her upper thighs.  A different girl was grinding into her from her back.  Her hands slipped down from Ai’s waist to her thighs…

   Risa frowned as she clenched her teeth.  She marched over and pulled Ai away from the grinder by her arms.

   “Ai-san!” Risa yelled over the music.

   Ai blinked a couple times as she slowly processed who was calling her name.  She smiled.

   “Gaki-san~” the drunk idol laughed.  “What took you so long? I missed you~” 

   She ran her hand down from Risa’s hair, to her cheeks, to her shoulders.  Risa gulped as she tried to focus on the issue at hand.

   “Ai-san,” Risa started.  “I’m taking you home, come on!”  She tried to pull Ai out of the crowd but the older girl backed away.

   “No~” she whined, her eyes half closed.  “I don’t want to!  I want to stay here~”

   Before she could turn back to dance, Risa grabbed Ai’s wrist again, and dragged her out of the dance floor.  The bean couldn’t find the exit amidst all the chaos and started to panic.  When she spotted the bathroom in the back corner, she decided it was better than staying in the large room.  The idol’s whiny protest continued all the way to the restroom.

   Risa opened the door and pushed Ai in.  The bathroom wasn’t half bad; the light was brighter and the floor was nicely tiled.  The drunk idol staggered around in circles while the younger girl stood by the door to prevent any escapes. 

   “What now, Risa?” the bean thought.  “What do you do now?

   “Gaki-san, why are you here?” Ai asked.  Her words were slurred.

   “I came to take you back home,” Risa answered.

   “But I lost you,” Ai said, her face twisting with confusion.  “I made a mistake and you left.  You’re mad at me Gaki-san, aren’t you?”  She hiccupped a couple times.

   “No, I’m not mad,” Risa sighed.  She walked over to Ai and touched her shoulders.  “Please stay still, Ai-san.  I need to think—”

   “Liar!” the idol suddenly screamed.  She pushed Risa to the wall and grabbed her wrists, immobilizing the younger girl.  Risa struggled to break free to no avail.

   “Ai-san, what—”

   “You’re lying to me…” Ai said, her words still slurring.  “You’re angry at me because I didn’t tell you anything… you hate me, Gaki-san, don’t you?”

   “I don’t hate you!” Risa contradicted.

   “But I lost you,” Ai continued.  “You were so mad… you said I hurt you… I’m the one who hurt you…”  Her face twisted in pain.

   “Ai-san,” Risa whispered.  “I’m not mad.  I’m not angry.  You didn’t hurt me.  And I don’t hate you.  I could never hate you.”

   “Really?”

   “Really.”

   “That’s… a relief,” Ai sighed, as she let go of Risa’s wrists and dropped her head onto her shoulders instead.  “Thank goodness… thank goodness…”

   The bean wrapped her arms around the older girl and stroked her back.  At this moment, Ai just seemed like a child who found out she’s being excused from a punishment.  Risa continued to listen to the idol mumble some words of relief until she fell silent.  Risa realized that she had fallen asleep from the steady breathing in her ear.  The bean sighed and said her own words of relief.

   “Thank goodness… Thank goodness she’s not hurt…”

   Then, she dug through her pocket for her cell phone and dialed a number.  It rang a couple times before a low voice answered.

   “Moshi-moshi?”

   “Tanaka-san,” Risa said.  “It’s Niigaki.  I’m at the club with Ai-san right now.  Can you come pick us up?”

   The bean could've sworn she heard the yankii smirk through the phone.

   "I'll be right there."

So the Ice Queen seems to thaw a little after meeting Aika :) She promised not to let go huh? Guess it's a future promise with regards to a certain turtle? :P

I'm guessing no chance of rabu-rabu time for TakaGaki since Reina will be picking the girls up :lol: Darn it! Being drunk is a good excuse for Ai to kiss the bean again XD

@Thor87: yup~ even I'm to afriad to keep TakaGaki away from each other for too long...  :D

@oddball: yeah, I'm bad at making people drunk...  :panic:

@badsaints: yeah, I thought of making Ai kiss Risa again... but realistically, I figured it really wouldn't help with their current status, you know?  :P


Thanks for the comments~~~  :yossi: *WOOT*
So I got an idea for what to write about next :ding:
So here's a really short chapter that'll kinda lead up to it  :hee:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 31

   Ai groaned as she rolled over on her bed, and fell on the floor.  Her body was aching all over as she tried to pick herself up.  She ruffled her hair and tried to come back to her senses again.

   She looked around.  Through her mirror, she saw that she was still wearing the tight tube-top dress.  But this was her room.  Ai tried to remember how she got home last night.  She remembered Risa’s voice… Thank goodness

   The idol smiled.  She had been forgiven.  Risa had come to find her and had forgiven her.  Just that fact alone took away all the previous aches the singer had felt.

   Ai reached for her pajamas— a white t-shirt and gray sweatpants— on the floor.  She quickly stripped down and put on the comfortable clothes as she hopped towards the bathroom.  She splashed cold water on her face and neck, and then put her hair up in a messy bun.  She walked out of her room to find Reina, sitting in the living room, eating cereal and watching TV.

   “You’re finally up?” the yankii asked.

   “Yeah…” Ai said.  She was surprised to hear her own voice; it was too hoarse and dry.  “Did you pick me up last night?”

   “Who else?”

   “Are you the one who told Gaki-san about the club?”

   “Once again, who else?”

   “Thanks, Reina.  I owe you one.”

   Ai smiled at her partner as Reina continued to focus on the TV.  Ai decided she would settle for cereal as breakfast as well, so she took a bowl and a spoon from the kitchen and sat down next to Reina in the living room.  As she poured herself some cereal and milk, the leader looked at the younger girl with a curious expression.

   “Do you have something you need to say?” Reina snapped.  “You’re staring at me, it’s kind of creepy.”

   “It’s just… you talked to Gaki-san,” Ai started.  “And you came to pick us up.  Does this mean… everything is settled?”

   “… I met Aika,” Reina said quietly.

   “… You did…” Ai said, trying to conceal the shock in her voice.  “Did Kamei-san…?”

   “Yeah.”

   “Oh.  So… how did that go?”

   “I got the answer I was looking for, I guess,” the yankii said.  She wasn’t watching the TV anymore.  Instead, she focused on swirling her spoon around in the bowl of leftover milk.  “I feel… lighter.”

   “That Kamei-san,” Ai laughed.  “She just changed you like that?  She’s pretty incredible.”

   “Yeah, incredibly stupid,” Reina mumbled.

   “I guess she didn’t change your way of speaking yet, huh?” Ai continued to laugh.  Reina ignored her.

   “Well, you seem to be in a better mood too,” Reina stated.

   “Yeah… I guess I am,” Ai answered, smiling to herself.  Risa had forgiven her; she had lost her but Risa had come back for her.

   “We have to leave soon,” Reina announced, turning the TV off.  “We have another recording for ‘Everyday Everywhere’.”

   “I guess neither of us will cry this time, right?” 

   Reina didn’t answer.  She just didn’t want to admit that she had cried last time.

   “Well,” Ai continued, standing up and stretching, “I guess I’ll change and go pick our staff up.”

   “What?  But I—” 

   Reina stood up, then stopped herself from saying more.  Ai noticed the yankii’s car keys dangling from her fingers.  The leader processed what her partner was about to say, and smiled mischievously.

   “Oh, that’s right; you got your car back from the repair store!” Ai gushed.  “Were you going to go pick Kamei-san and Gaki-san up?”

   “A-as if!” Reina yelled, her cheeks turning into a faint pink.  “They have legs; they can walk!” 

   With that, the yankii stomped back to her room and slammed the door.  Ai chuckled to herself as she went into her own room to get ready for the day.

@kawaii beam: yes~ i'm excited too  :D

@kurosawa87: yup, Reina definitely is changing, little by little  XD

@rndmnwierd: I'm trying to get better at writing romance~  :wub:


Okay, this is the chapter that will lead up to the fun part (which comes in another couple chapters)  XD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 32

   “Risa-chan, I’m going in after ten seconds!  Juu… kyuu… hachi… shichi—”

   “Niigaki Risa, present and ready to go!”

   “Aw, come on!”

   Eri crossed her arms and blew up her cheeks.  Risa ran down the stairs and jumped over the last three steps.  She made a mock salute to her friend with a grin.

   “And I really thought I was going to get to dress you today,” Eri complained.

   “Gomen, Kameha,” Risa said, winking.  “That day won’t come just yet.”

   The two friends were getting ready to leave for the studio.  There was another recording for the “Everyday Everywhere” promotion, and Eri wanted to get there with enough time to pamper High-Queen with all her fashion senses.  As usual, Risa had spent the night writing songs, so she had woken up late.  But luckily for her, she had managed to get ready fast enough to avoid the turtle’s fashion tornado. 

   “Fine fine,” Eri grumbled.  “But we still have to run, or we’re going to be late!”

   The two girls quickly ran out the door.  Eri ran for the sidewalk and froze.  Risa quickly locked the door and ran after her friend.

   “Eri, what’s wrong?” the bean asked, observing her friend’s surprised expression.  She turned her head towards the place Eri was staring at, and gasped. 

   Ai was leaning on the hood of her black convertible with her sunglasses shoved on her head.  Her wavy hair was tied into a low side ponytail that flowed down her shoulder.  She met Risa’s eyes and smiled.

   “Ohayou,” the idol greeted, trying to sound as gentle as possible.

   “Ohayou,” Risa replied, her shock slowly melting into happiness.  Happiness.  Yes, she was happy to see Ai.

   “Hi Kamei-san!  Oh, hi Takahashi-san!” Eri said in a sarcastic tone, acting out the scenario she had imagined.

   “Good morning to you too, Kamei-san,” Ai laughed.  “Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about you.”

   “Yeah, sure you didn’t,” Eri said, grinning.  “So what brings you here, Takahashi-san?  I thought we were meeting up at the studio.”

   “I came to pick you two up,” Ai answered.  “If that’s okay, I mean.”

   “Sure! We’re late anyway; might as well take up on the offer.  Right, Risa-chan?”

   “Um, yeah… I guess.”

   “Okay then.  I’ll sit in the back.  Risa, you can sit in the front.” 

   With that, Eri elbowed the bean and skipped over to the back of the car and helped herself in.  Risa calmly walked towards the front of the car to go around to the passenger seat.  Her eyes met with the idol’s.

   “How are you?” Ai said with a soft smile.

   “I think that’s my line,” Risa said in a teasing tone.

   “I guess you’re right,” Ai chuckled, recalling all the alcohol she had consumed the night before.  She looked at the bean with such gentleness and sincerity that Risa could almost tell what she was thinking.

   “Thank you for coming back.”

   “I could never leave you.”


   The younger girl proceeded to take the passenger seat and strapped herself in.  Ai crossed over to the driver’s seat and started the car.   

   As they were driving, the singer decided that she should thank Risa with actual words.

   “Gaki-san… thanks for coming to get me last night.  I guess… I kind of overdid it with the alcohol.”

   “Kind of?” Risa said, raising her eyebrows.

   “Okay, I definitely overdid it,” Ai admitted, grinning.  “So thank you… for forgiving me too.”

   “I kind of did it for myself too, though,” Risa said.  “I think I would’ve really regretted it if I didn’t go… I value our friendship too much.  I guess you’re a closer friend to me than I thought.”

   “And you are also a very important friend of mine,” Ai said, smiling.

   “Hey!” Eri interrupted, poking her head in between the two girls in the front.  “Sorry, Takahashi-san.  But no matter how close you two get, I’ll always be Risa-chan’s best friend!”

   “I just might fight you for that spot, Kamei-san,” Ai teased.

   “Oh, bring it on,” Eri said, grinning.  All three girls laughed as the black convertible dashed down the road.

**  **  ** 

   Reina frowned as she tried to hook the black choker around her neck.  She let out a groan of frustration and turned to her fashion coordinator.

   “A little help?” the yankii yelled. 

   “There, Takahashi-san, you’re done,” Eri said to the High-Queen leader.  She walked over to Reina and took the choker from her hands.

   “You need me to do this again?” Eri said, smiling.  “It’s not that hard to put on, Tanaka-san.”

   “Just put the damn thing around my neck,” Reina snapped.

   “Turn around,” Eri giggled.  She easily hooked the choker around the singer’s neck and started to touch up on other parts of her costume.  “You know, Tanaka-san… I think we’re getting to be pretty good friends, don’t you?”

   “As if,” Reina grumbled.

   “Let’s change our referral names!” the turtle suggested.  “Can I call you by your first name?”

   “It doesn’t matter,” the yankii growled.

   “Maybe something cuter?  How about Tanakacchi?  Or Tanakitty?”

   “Reina is fine,” the singer sighed, giving up.

   “Then Reina-chan!” Eri exclaimed.  “I’ll call you Reina-chan, okay?”

   “Whatever.”

   “You should call me Eri-chan!  Or Eririn!”

   “I think just your name is fine.”

   “Fine,” Eri decided, puffing up her cheeks. 

   But her pout soon turned into a smile.  At least the idol was okay with the turtle calling her by her first name.  And she didn’t yell too much.  That was definitely an improvement in their relationship.  As long as they were going to work together, Eri had figured that she might as well get to know the stubborn yankii better.  She didn’t seem too terrible of a person.

   Soon, High-Queen was rushed to the set.  Once again, Eri and Risa placed themselves amidst the audience to watch the recording.

   “Takahashi-san,” the MC started.  “I heard it’s your birthday soon, isn’t it?”

   “Yes, it’s September 14th,” the leader answered.

   “Do you have any special plans for that day?” the MC questioned.

   “Nothing yet,” Ai answered as she put an arm around Reina.  “I guess I’ll just spend it with my favorite member right here.” 

   The idol group laughed as the audience cheered.  Risa gasped out loud.  She elbowed her friend next to her.

   “What day is it today?”

   “Friday.”

   “No, the date.”

   “September 7th.”

   Risa gasped again.  One week.  There was only one week left until Ai’s birthday.  Risa couldn’t just let that pass; she had to do something for her! 
A party!  Yes, a party would be great!  Just the four of them together: Ai, Reina, Eri, and herself.  They could celebrate at her house.  It could be a surprise…

   Risa clenched her fists.  She had decided.  She would plan a small party at her house with Eri and Reina.  Ai could not find out.  That meant Risa had to avoid her for the rest of the week.   After all, she was a terrible actress and a very bad liar.

So Reina is fully recovered from the Aika incident, it seems as though she is really struggling to not be really nice to Eri  :lol:

Hmm it's a nice idea to have a party for Ai but I'm worried about Risa avoiding her for a week, judging Ai's character it seem likely she will flip out again!

p.s. what's happening with Jun and Sayu? we havent had any of them for a while!  :cry:

@kawaii beam: eh, Ai won't freak out too much... I don't want to torture TakaGaki again... yet  XD


thanx for the comments~  :cow:
The next two chapters will be kinda short... But the chapter after that should be good  :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 33

   “So tell me; why do I have to do this again?”

   “Because it’s your leader’s birthday, that’s why!”

   Risa was hunched over in the hallway while whispering to Reina about her party plan.  The yankii had taken a more comfortable stance of standing up straight and crossing her arms.  She raised an eyebrow.

   “So you want me to help you get this ‘party’ going?” Reina asked, making air quotes with her fingers.

   “I can do all the work with Kameha, Tanaka-san,” Risa reassured.  “Just be at my house on the fourteenth! And don’t tell Ai-san!”

   “And what do I get for doing this?” Reina asked, narrowing her eyes.

   “Come on, you can’t even go to a party for your own leader? I thought she was important to you!”

   “… Fine.  I’ll be there.  But I’m bringing alcohol.”  The idol smiled smugly.

   “… Fine,” Risa decided, grinding her teeth.  “You can indulge yourself in it, but I’m keeping Ai-san away.”

   “Fine.”

   “Fine.”

   “What are you two talking about?” a familiar voice asked.

   Risa let out a “GAH!” as she jumped away from the voice behind her.  Ai looked at her with a confused expression.  The bean kept her head down to hide her “lying face” and skittered behind Reina.  Ai raised an eyebrow.  Reina shrugged.  Risa tugged on the yankii’s shirt.

   “Help me!” the bean whispered.

   “Why do I need to—”

   “Just help me!” Risa whispered desperately.

   “Um… Gaki-san?  What’s going on?” Ai asked.

   “Oh, our song writer just had a couple things to critique me on,” Reina said, smiling sweetly at her leader.  She wrapped her arms around the bean into a hug.  Risa buried her face into the yankii’s chest.  “Thank you so much, Niigaki-san.  You helped so much.”

   “No problem,” Risa mumbled.

   “Well then, let’s get back into the dressing room—”

   “Wait!” Ai interrupted, pulling Risa away from Reina’s embrace.  “I have something to say to Gaki-san.”

   Risa looked at Reina with an alarmed expression.  Reina just shrugged, making her “I tried” face.  She proceeded to walk back into the dressing room, leaving Risa completely unguarded.  The bean covered her face with both her hands.

   “Gaki-san, are you okay?” Ai asked, concerned.  “Did you get hurt somewhere?  Let me see—”

   “No!” Risa yelled, backing away from the singer’s extended hands.  “Uh, I, uh… Oh, look! Someone’s calling me!”  The younger girl turned around to run but Ai caught her arms.

   “No one’s calling you,” the leader laughed.  “What’s going on, Gaki-san?  Why are you covering your face?”

   “I, uh, um, so, uh, that, I…”

   “There you are, Risa-chan!”

   Eri grabbed Risa by her shoulders and started to drag her away.  She held up a hand to Ai.

   “Sorry, Takahashi-san,” the turtle apologized.  “I need to see Risa-chan for a while, please excuse her.”

   With that, the two friends ran down the hallway and turned a corner.  They leaned on the wall and breathed heavily.

   “Kameha,” Risa huffed.  “You’re a lifesaver.”

   “I don’t know… how you’re planning this party… when you’re such a terrible liar,” Eri gasped. 

   “That’s why I have to avoid Ai-san this week!” Risa explained.  “I can’t have her find out about this!”

   “But you just made up with her!” Eri argued.  “She’s going to think you’re mad again or something.”

   “It’s only a week,” Risa said.  “Ai-san is mature enough to handle herself… I think.”

   “That makes one of us,” Eri said, rolling her eyes.

@kurosawa87: don't worry, i'm not breaking TakaGaki  XD

@Swtme03: LOL I'll try to write whenever I can!  :D

@kawaii beam: I KNOW i've been trying to access it for the whole day! during that time, I finished two more chapters...  XD


OKAY I was going to post this chapter right after I posted the last one, but it wasn't letting me access the site  :smhid
So anyways, here's the next short chapter.

The one after this is longer, I just have to edit it  :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 34

   The black convertible raced down the road, away from the city area.  Ai had gotten a phone call from Eri, just a couple minutes ago, to come to her house.  Apparently, Risa wanted to talk to her about something important.

   The bean had ignored the leader for the entire week.  Whenever Ai started a conversation, Risa would completely butcher her words and turn her attention on someone else nearby, like Eri or Reina. 

   Ai still couldn’t forget how Reina had hugged Risa before.  What was going on between those two?  Reina was supposed to be harmless now, wasn’t she?  Why would she hug Risa?  And why would Risa let her?  Wait. Stop.  Why was Ai even thinking about this?  Could she be… jealous?

   Actually, yes.  Ai didn’t mind admitting that she was jealous.  She considered Risa a very good friend; a friend she couldn’t bare to lose.  She wanted to be one of Risa’s closest people.  Eri was very close to Risa, which was understandable.  But when did Reina come in to the picture?  She didn’t hate all humanity now, but the yankii still preferred to be left alone, right?

   Ai had suffered from thinking about various things that could’ve made Risa ignore her again.  Did she regret forgiving her?  Was she mad about something else?  Does she want to cut off ties with her?  Is that why she called her over to her house? 

   What a great day.  And today is Ai’s birthday too; was Risa going to make her special day a miserable one?

   Ai finally parked in front of the familiar white house.  She jumped out of her car and locked it.  She sighed, straightened her back, and marched over to the front door. 

   “Calm down,” she thought.  “I can do this.  I’m sure it’s nothing too bad…

   With that, Ai rang the doorbell.  There was no answer.  Ai knocked a couple times and received silence again.  She tried the door handle; it was unlocked.

   Ai slowly pushed the door open.  She took off her shoes and walked into the living room.  All the lights were off.

   “Hello?” the idol called, nervously.

   Suddenly, the lights turned on with a loud explosion of a firecracker.  Ai screamed as streamers and confetti shot into her face.

   “Surprise!” Eri and Risa yelled, laughing.  “Happy birthday!”

   Ai looked around, turning her head this way and that.  The living room was decorated with various streamers and ribbons.  There were plates of food and a cake on the coffee table, along with a pyramid of beer cans on the ground.  Reina was sitting on the sofa, wearing a blue pointy party hat, looking utterly bored.  Risa and Eri were on either side of the doorway, also wearing the party hats, holding empty firecrackers.

   “What, I, huh?” Ai stammered.

   “It’s your birthday party, Takahashi-san!” Eri exclaimed, who was wearing an orange party hat.  “Risa planned it, just for the four of us!  Do you like it?”

   Ai turned towards the bean who was wearing a green party hat.  Risa grinned and placed a yellow party hat on Ai’s head. 

   “Happy birthday, Ai-san!” Risa congratulated.  “Were you surprised?”

   “Is this why you were avoiding me the whole week?” Ai asked.

   “Yup!  You’re not mad… are you?”

   “I am so mad,” Ai said, laughing.  She hugged Risa tightly, and then proceeded to hug Eri.  “Thank you.  All of you.  Especially you, Reina.”  The leader pointed at the yankii and winked.

   “Yeah, you’re lucky I’m here,” Reina grumbled.  “Just spare me from the hug, will you?”

   All three of the girls laughed as Reina waved a piece of ribbon from her hat away from her face.

   “Sit, sit, sit!” Risa ordered, setting down four cushions on the floor.  “We’re going to eat, talk, and drink all night!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 35

   “So we’re all getting pretty close to each other,” Eri started.  “Why don’t we speak on more informal terms now?”

   The four girls were now sitting on the living room floor in a circle.  Reina was focusing on drinking the beer.  The other three girls were indulged in the conversation.

   “I agree,” Ai said.  “You’re welcome to call me by my first name, Kamei-san.”

   “Okay, Ai-chan then,” Eri decided.  “You can call me Eri-chan too.  Or Eririn.”

   “I’ll go with Eri-chan,” Ai laughed.  “Gaki-san, you should call me Ai too.”

   “Um… okay then.  Just Ai,” Risa said.

   “And I’ll call you Risa,” Ai agreed.  “Reina, what about you?”

   “It doesn’t matter, call me what you want,” Reina mumbled, drinking some more of the beer.

   “We’ll all just go by our first names then,” Eri suggested.  The other two girls nodded in agreement.  The yankii rolled her eyes as if to say, “Whatever”.

   The night continued on relentlessly.  Soon, everybody was sipping bits of the beer Reina had brought because the junk food and the cake made all of them thirsty.  They all talked and laughed except for Reina, who just listened in on the conversation and spoke only when spoken to.

   Throughout the night, Ai’s cheeks started to turn soft pink, then magenta, then red.  She suddenly leaned on Risa’s shoulder and breathed in to take in her scent.  The bean, who was not drunk yet, flinched from the sudden contact.

   “Risa~” Ai said, slurring her words, “this is the best party ever~”

   “Um, I’m glad you like it, Ai,” Risa replied, letting out a shaky laugh.

   “You know, Risa,” Ai continued, yawning.  “If you didn’t come back for me, I don’t know what I would’ve done… You’re so important to me…”

   “You’re important to me, too,” Risa whispered.

   “Don’t leave me again Risa… I need you…”

   With that, the leader fell asleep on Risa’s shoulder, holding on to her arm.  The bean smiled as she looked at Ai’s sleeping face.  That was one moment when Risa wished time would just stop, so that she could be like this with Ai for a longer time.  A sudden scream broke her thoughts.

   “Oi, what do you think you’re doing?!” Reina yelled.

   Risa turned to look at Reina, slowly inching away from Eri who was crawling towards the yankii.  The turtle’s face was red; she was obviously drunk.

   “Nee~ Reina-chan~” Eri giggled, “Do you want to kiss me?”

   “Gaki, your friend’s losing it here!” Reina yelled, backing away a little more.

   “Oh.  I forgot to tell you to keep Eri away from alcohol…” Risa mumbled.  She slowly got up with Ai’s arm around her neck to support her.  “Reina, you and Ai can sleep over.  I’ll lay an extra futon in my room; I can sleep in Eri’s room.”

   “Wait!” Reina shouted, stopping the bean from leaving the living room.  “What about Eri, you’re just going to leave her here?”

   “I’m sure you can handle her, Reina,” Risa smirked.  “Aren’t you the more experienced one?”

   “I thought you didn’t like me touching her,” Reina growled.

   “But you’re not after her right now; Eri is after you,” Risa replied innocently.  “Bring her upstairs, okay?”

   “W-wait a minute!”

   But the bean turned and went up the stairs, supporting the sleeping leader.  Reina turned her eyes back to the drunk turtle who was still smiling.

   “Nee~ Reina-chan~” she said, slurring her words.  “Can you kiss me?”  She crawled closer to the yankii until she was practically on top of her, with her face only inches away.

   “I- I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Reina said, turning away.  She felt her face getting hotter.  “Damn it, what’s wrong with me?

   “But you kissed me before~” Eri pouted.  “Am I not good enough anymore?”

   “Will you snap out of it?” Reina yelled.  “I’m warning you, you should back away—”

   At that moment, Eri pushed the yankii’s shoulders, pinning her down on the floor.  Before the younger girl could protest, the turtle dipped down and met her lips with her own.  She kissed her over and over again, molding her own lips to fit her prey’s.  Reina put her hands on her attacker’s shoulders as if to push her away, but made no real effort to do so.  Her lips parted and Eri immediately took the opportunity to insert her tongue.  A moan escaped from Reina’s throat.

   “Okay, that’s it!” Reina thought.  “I don’t care if she regrets it later; she started this!

   With that, the younger girl turned to the side until she was the one on top of Eri.  The yankii kissed the older girl some more, then moved on to her neck.  She undid the first couple buttons on Eri’s shirt and kissed her collarbone, which released a moan from Eri’s lips.  Reina’s hand continued to travel down until it reached the edge of Eri’s shirt.  Her hand slipped under to feel Eri’s soft back.  Reina kissed her some more as Eri moaned into her mouth.

   “No,” Reina thought as a sudden realization hit.  “I… I shouldn’t be doing this to her.  Why am I doing this?  I feel… like I really want it.  But I’m not driven by anger anymore; what is this feeling?”

   The yankii sighed.  She backed away from Eri and buttoned her shirt again.  The turtle pouted.

   “Why?” she whined, still drunk.  “I don’t want you to stop…”

   “Trust me; you’ll regret it later,” Reina whispered.  “Why do I feel so desperate right now?  This girl… who is she to me?

@kawaii beam: I know, right? Kinda sadistic, huh? torturous curiosity~  :twisted:

@Swtme03: ahhh I'm still not sure how to write perv chapters... I think I'll probably write one though, for this story  :twisted:

@Ada: LOL not yet~ but it'll come, if I get the confidence to write it  XD

@rndmnwierd: well you don't need to wait any longer!  :D

@kurosawa87: yeah, that's actually a good way to put it. She doesn't want to do anything Eri doesn't want her to do anymore, you know?  :)

@Fushigidane: GAH I don't even know if I can do it... I'll definitely attempt though  XD

@oddball: yup, drunk Eri IS the best  XD and there's more TakaGaki here~  :inlove:


ThAnK yOu FoR tHe CoMmEnTs~~~  :cow:
So I got to my first hotel alright, the internet is SUPER slow  :thumbdown:
But I didn't want to keep you guys waiting too long, so I finished this chapter for you guys  :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 36

   Risa swung Ai around and dropped her on her bed.  Ai was still out cold; she tossed for a while until she found a comfortable position lying on her back.  The bean sat down on the edge of the bed, tired from supporting the drunk idol all the way up the stairs.

   Risa observed Ai’s face for a while; her long eyelashes, her smooth skin, her soft pink lips… She seemed to be perfectly beautiful in every way.  No wonder she’s an idol.

   Suddenly, Ai mumbled something in her sleep.  Risa started to wonder if she was dreaming.  Then, the idol licked her lips and smiled.  That caught the bean off guard.

   “Risa, what are you doing?” the younger girl thought.  “You’re staring at her; stop that!  Ah, but she really is pretty…

   Unconsciously, Risa started to slowly lean down to Ai’s face.  Her face got closer and closer… until Risa closed her eyes as their lips met.

   It was a soft, gentle kiss; their lips were merely touching.  But Risa felt her cheeks get hotter and hotter.  She pushed her lips harder against Ai’s, eager for more.  Then, she slowly backed away and looked at Ai’s peaceful face.  She touched her own cheeks; they were burning up.  Suddenly, Ai’s lips curved into a smile.

   “So you wanted to kiss me that much?” she said.

   Before Risa could even gasp in shock, Ai pulled the younger girl towards her and flipped over, pinning Risa down to the bed.  The singer pressed her forehead against the girl who had just kissed her.  Both of their cheeks were red; Ai from being drunk, and Risa from embarrassment.

   “A-Ai!” Risa stuttered, her eyes wide in shock.  “Y-you were a-a-awake?”

   “That was sneaky of you,” Ai teased, smirking.  “To kiss me just because you thought I was sleeping… I didn’t know you were like that, Risa.”  Her words were still slurred.

   “D-don’t look at me like that!” Risa yelled, turning her head to the side.  She could feel her face getting hotter and hotter.  “Why did I do that?  This is so embarrassing!

   “So did you like my lips?” Ai teased again.

   “Don’t ask me that kind of question…” Risa mumbled.

   “Why not?  You forgot the feeling already?  Do you need a replay?”

   With that, Ai cupped her hand over Risa’s cheek and turned her head to kiss her again.  Risa tried to move her hands but she couldn’t get herself to lift her arms.  Ai’s lips moved softly against hers, causing her to lower her guard and slightly part her lips.  But Ai moved down to kiss her neck.

   “Why am I just lying here?” Risa thought.  “I don’t feel like I’m being forced… What is this feeling?  And is Ai even conscious of what she’s doing right now?  She’s still drunk… isn’t she?

   “You smell good,” Ai whispered, kissing the younger girl’s neck again.  “Kind of like strawberry… I like it.”

   The idol softly laughed and slipped her hands down to Risa’s legs.  She stroked her smooth thighs and kissed her lips again, a little more passionately this time.  Because Ai didn’t seem to intend to break away, Risa had to turn her head to catch her breath.  Ai then leaned down to her ear.

   “Don’t ever leave me,” she whispered.  “You can’t leave me…”

   Then, Risa felt a sudden heavy weight on her body.  She tapped Ai’s shoulders.

   “Ai?  Ai?  You’re… kind of heavy…”

   But the idol didn’t answer.  Risa soon realized from her rhythm of breathing that Ai had fallen asleep again.

   “Are you kidding me?  She’s out cold again?” the bean whispered loudly.  “She’s just going to leave me hanging like this?  That’s not fair!  … Wait a minute, why do I feel disappointed?  Get a grip, Risa!  What am I thinking?  Ugh!

   She sighed, and slowly slipped towards the side to remove herself from under Ai.  She finally managed to stand up next to the bed to face a short girl with a shocked expression by the door.  She was holding on to Eri by her wrist; the turtle’s eyes were half closed and she had a goofy grin.  Her cheeks were still light pink.

   “R-Reina!” Risa yelled.  “Uh, this isn’t what you think!  Wha-what happened was— ”

   “I don’t need details,” Reina interrupted, holding up her hand.  “Here, take your friend.  Ai and I have vocal training tomorrow before the meeting, so we’ll leave early in the morning.”

   The yankii swung Eri towards Risa.  The turtle stumbled a bit and fell into her friend’s arms.

   “Risa-chan~ why did you go upstairs so soon?” Eri giggled.  “Reina-chan and I were having so much fun downstairs, you should’ve joined us~”

   “Um… yeah.  Kameha, let’s go to sleep now,” Risa mumbled.

   The bean and the yankii looked at each other awkwardly one last time, before Risa led the giggling Eri out of the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How was that?  :wahaha:

Chapter 37

   “But that can’t be right! I was sure I was winning!”

   “Shige-san, I called ‘uno’ when I had one card left.  Then I placed it with the right number, so I won.”

   “But you didn’t even give me a chance to say ‘uno’!”

   “That’s the whole point of the game!”

   Sayumi put down her cards on the bed and crossed her arms.  She puffed up her cheeks into a pout, just like a child.  Junjun stared at this black-haired beauty for a while, then smiled. 

   The two girls were playing Uno while waiting for Risa and Eri to arrive at the hospital.  Junjun had won twice already, and every time Sayumi realized the outcome of the game, she had complained and protested.  Normally, one would already by annoyed by this.  But to the panda, Sayumi’s tantrums and pouting seemed cute and charming in a way.

   “Okay, Shige-san,” Junjun finally said.  “We’ll play one more time, okay?  Do your best now!”

   Sayumi’s pout slowly transitioned into an excited smile.  “Really?”

   “Yup.  I’ll shuffle the deck again.”

   “Okay!” the younger girl exclaimed, clapping her hands. 

   “How cute,” Junjun thought, chuckling to herself.  “She’s just like a child.  I guess this is the part of her that attracts me to her…

   “Knock, knock!” Someone yelled by the door.  Sayumi immediately turned her head and grinned.

   “Eririn!  Risa-chan!” the bunny exclaimed.

   “Well, I guess there’s no third round of Uno,” the panda thought.

   “Hey, Sayu!  Hey, Junjun!” the turtle greeted.

   “You girls seem lively today,” the bean said.

   The two friends walked in and sat down on the chairs lined up by the bed next to Junjun.  Sayumi was practically bouncing in her bed as she held Risa’s hands, then Eri’s. 

   “You guys didn’t visit for such a long time!” she accused.  “I was starting to think maybe you guys forgot about me…”

   “How could we forget about you, Sayu?” Risa replied.

   “No offense, but your voice is kind of hard to forget,” Eri teased.

   “Ha-ha,” Sayumi said sarcastically, sticking out her tongue.  Eri stuck out her tongue as well.

   “You know that I’m going to be released from the hospital soon,” Sayumi reminded.  “We’re all going to hang out together, right?”

   “Of course,” Risa answered.  “Junjun, you should come along too!  Eri and I’ll treat you; after all, you’ve taken care of Sayu so well while we couldn’t visit.”

   “I guess I won’t turn down a good meal then,” the panda replied.  “Anything spicy is good, okay?”

   “Don’t even attempt to satisfy her taste, Risa-chan,” Sayumi said, frowning.  “She doesn’t think any food in the world is spicy!  Anything that burns our tongue is just a mild zest to this girl.”

   “Hey, those chicken wings really weren’t spicy!” Junjun complained.  “They were way below my expectations!”

   “I drank a gallon of water because of those wings!” Sayumi argued.  “I was going back and forth from the bathroom all night!”

   “Alright guys, we get the point,” Eri laughed.  “Junjun likes spicy food; got it.”

   “So what are you guys up to these days?  Anything exciting happen lately?” Sayumi asked.

   “Oh, we had a birthday party for Ai-chan yesterday,” Eri answered.  “You know, the leader of High-Queen?”

   “Yeah, I remember,” Sayumi said.  “Was it fun, Risa-chan?”

   “Huh?  Oh, yeah… it was… um, fun…” Risa mumbled.

   She started the remember the night before again; the way Ai had kissed her, the way she had touched her thighs, the way she had whispered in her ears…  The idol was half-dead in the morning; she had a massive headache from drinking too much.  But she and Reina had still left the house early in the morning for vocal training.  Risa didn’t have a chance to talk to her about their interaction, so the bean had decided to bring it up at DFA this afternoon.  There was a meeting about High-Queen’s next single, now that promotions for “Everyday Everwhere” was over.

   But Risa had felt uneasy the entire night and day.  Various questions had roamed through her mind.  Why did Ai kiss her?  Did she know what she was doing?  Was she still drunk during that time?  Where does this leave the two of them…? 

   While Risa was being tortured by having no answers to any of these inquiries, Eri did not have anything weighing in her mind.  She didn’t remember anything from when she was drunk; when she woke up in the morning, the turtle was her usual cheerful self while Reina didn’t say a word and refused to meet eyes with anybody.  Risa had noticed how awkward Reina was acting in the morning, so she deduced that something probably happened between her and Eri.  But her friend seemed perfectly happy and fine, so the bean didn’t think too much about it.

   “Takahashi Ai is very pretty…” Sayumi said in a low voice, smiling.

   “Yeah, she is,” Eri agreed.  “Reina-chan is pretty too, you know.”

   “Yes, her too…” Sayumi mumbled.  Then, she clasped her hands together and opened her eyes widely, appearing like an angel.  “When I’m released, can you take me to DFA, please?  I really want to see what it’s like there.  Please, Risa-chan?  Please, Eririn?”

   “I don’t see why we can’t,” Eri replied.

   “Yeah, I guess it’s okay…” Risa agreed. 

   “Yay!  Thank you so much, guys!”  Sayumi held out her arms to hug her two friends.

   “No problem,” Eri said, grinning.  “But now we have to leave.  We have a meeting for High-Queen’s next single.”

   “Aw, so soon?”  The bunny pouted.

   “Yeah,” Risa said.  “Don’t worry; we’ll definitely hang out when you get released, okay?”

   “Okay.”  Sayumi nodded.

   “Junjun, you should also come with us to DFA next time,” Risa offered.

   “I think I’ll do that,” the panda replied.

   “Okay, we really have to leave now,” Eri said.  “Bye, Sayu.  Bye, Jun.”

   “See you!”

   “Bye.”

   Risa and Eri left the room and closed the door.  Sayumi started to fumble around with the Uno cards laid out on her bed.  Her lips curved into a small smile.

   “Junjun,” she started, “will you do me a favor?”

   “Sure.  Anything, Shige-san,” Junjun answered, excitedly.

   “Anything?”

   “Yes, anything.”

   “Great!” Sayumi exclaimed, her smile growing bigger.  “Here’s what you need to do…”

@kawaii beam: yes, i AM evil  :twisted:

@Fushigidane: he he he... you'll see  8)

@kurosawa87: yes she does~ kinda XD

@rndmnwierd: well, kinda... she'll strike alright :P

@oddball: hm... the question is whether sayu is evil enough to use jun... i'll leave that up to you for now :D


thanx for the comments~ I AM getting late on the updates, I'm doing my best!!! :shocked

Here's a REALLY short chapter. I planned it to be longer, but I wanted to update with SOMETHING.  :nervous

But I think I got the point across... right? XD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 38

   “So nobody has anything new to show us today?” Tsunku said.  “Nothing fresh?”

   “I always have songs in my notebook,” Risa claimed.  “But I think it’s best if we wait a little longer and see what else I come up with.  I want High-Queen to get a song that they will enjoy.”

   “I like the sound of that,” Ai agreed.  “Reina and I’ll work with Risa to see if we can find anything we like.”

   “You mean you’ll work with Risa,” Reina cut in.  “I don’t really care.”

   “Okay, okay,” Tsunku concluded.  “Do whatever you need to do.  But for now, don’t you girls have vocal training soon?”

   “We had it in the morning,” Ai replied.  “We have dance training now.”

   “Okay then, hop to it,” Tsunku ordered.  “Meeting over.”

   The producer got up from his chair and left the room.  The other staff members also started to gather their things and leave.  Ai and Reina also got up and started to leave the room.  Eri skittered over to Risa who was packing her notebook in her bag.

   “Nee, Risa-chan,” the turtle started.  “I think I want to go watch High-Queen’s dance practice; I’m kind of curious.  Do you want to come with me?”

   “No, I think I should go home and think of some new songs I could write,” Risa said.  “But I do have to talk to Ai before I leave…”  The bean felt that she really needed to talk to the leader about their… incident.

   “Okay, suit yourself.” 

   With that, Eri skipped out of the room to follow the idol group.  Risa walked after her into the hallway and looked around for the leader.  Reina and Eri were already in the elevator but Ai was nowhere to be sighted.  Suddenly, someone grabbed the bean’s shoulders, causing her to jump.

   “Hey, Risa!” Ai greeted.

   “Ai!” Risa whispered loudly.  “Don’t scare me like that!”

   “Sorry,” Ai laughed.  “I just wanted to thank you for the party last night; it was absolutely phenomenal!”

   “Yeah, um, about that—”

   “I’m so sorry that Reina and I had to stay overnight though.  I guess I must’ve dozed off in the living room.”

   “Yeah, about— wait, what?”  Living room?

   “I guess drank a little too much, huh?” Ai scratched her head and grinned.  “I’ll lay off the alcohol a bit, I guess.  But thanks for the party, it was wonderful.”

   “Um… yeah… I guess,” Risa said slowly.  “She doesn’t remember anything? She doesn’t remember the kiss? That’s… good, isn’t it?  Things won’t be awkward between us.  We can be the way we always were… but why do I feel uneasy?

   “So I have to go to dance training now,” Ai said.  “I’ll catch you next time, okay?”

   “Yeah… next time,” Risa answered, smiling awkwardly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let me just say I actually got the next couple chapters laid out, so i AM working on this. I just have to type it XD

“No offense, but your voice is kind of hard to forget,” Eri teased.

  “You know that I’m going to be released from the hospital soon,”
Interesting  :w00t: but wait it's TakaGaki's fate that's on the line  :O

Risa had noticed how awkward Reina was acting in the morning, so she deduced that something probably happened between her and Eri.  But her friend seemed perfectly happy and fine, so the bean didn’t think too much about it.

“Anything?”
Sounds fishy

@rndmnwierd: LOVE food metaphors (and just plain food) XD :inlove:

@badsaints: LOL no, not just the two of them. I imagined the other staff members being in there too, i was just too lazy/busy to write it XD


Guys... I LOVE YOU ALL. :wub:
It is a happy night when I come back from this horrible summer program thing and I read all the comments. :cow:

So I worked all night on this chapter for y'all~  :P
Things are definitely heating up so stay tuned! :twothumbs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 39

   “Reina, you missed that beat again!”

   “Okay! I’m doing what I can, damn it!”

   High-Queen’s dance instructor shook her head in misery.  The idols were dressed in T-shirt and sweatpants as well as the teacher herself.  She picked up her water bottle from the corner of the mirrored room.

   “You know what? I went over this part so many times; there’s nothing I can do for you girls anymore.  Ai, work with Reina please?  I’m supposed to be leaving early today.  I have to pick up my niece from her kindergarten school.”

   “Will do that,” Ai answered.

   The stressed dance instructor grabbed her gym bag and walked out of the dance studio.  On the way out, she gave a polite nod to Eri, sitting on a folding chair by the door.

   “Why are you here?” Reina yelled at the turtle as soon as the teacher was out of sight.

   “I was curious,” Eri answered innocently, “about how your dance practices work and stuff.”

   “There’s nothing interesting,” Reina snapped angrily.  “Go home!”

   “Reina,” Ai said sternly.  “Over here, with me, now.”

   The yankii glared at the turtle on more time before turning to face her leader.

   “What?” Reina asked, annoyed.

   “Hey, why are you bagging out on Eri?” Ai whispered.  “And you usually pick up on the dance steps fast; what’s wrong with you today?”

   “I don’t like having an audience,” Reina grumbled, tilting her head towards Eri.

   “Yeah, right,” Ai scoffed.  “You can perform in from of thousands of people at Nakano Sun Plaza but you can’t dance in front of one girl.”

   “She’s not just one girl, she’s…”

   “Yes?”

   “… Ugh! Never mind, you won’t understand!”

   With that, Reina turned back and stomped towards the boom box to turn on the music.  Ai’s lips curved up a little as she started to realize something.  She gave a comforting smile to her fashion coordinator, who had a worried expression.

   “Right,” Ai said, trying to hold down a laugh.  “So let’s go from the top again.”

   Reina kicked the boom box alive and the fast dance beat started to fill the studio again.  Ai and Reina crossed as they started to dance while Eri stared with admiration.  The yankii seemed unfocused and kept on turning her head this way and that. 

   Once again, half way into the song, Reina missed a beat as she tripped over her own foot and fell.  Eri jumped out of her chair as Ai ran to the radio to turn the music off.

   “Reina-chan!” Eri yelled, panicking.  “Are you okay?  Are you hurt?”

   The turtle crouched in front of the yankii and put her hand on her shoulders.  Reina froze at that moment; her head was still down.

   “I’m fine,” the idol muttered.

   “Here, let me take a look at it,” Eri said.  Before Reina could protest, the older girl pushed up Reina’s pants above her knees to reveal a large pink spot; a burn from the glossy dance floor.

   “That doesn’t look… good,” Ai said, whistling.

   “Oh my gosh, that must hurt a lot!  Here, let me help,” Eri said. 

   She scavenged a handkerchief and a water bottle from her bag.  She wet the hankie and lightly dabbed Reina’s wound.  The idol’s hands shot forward to grab Eri’s wrist.

   “Stop, I’m fine!” Reina yelled.  She felt the heat rising up her cheeks.  “And don’t touch me, I—”

   “No! Not this time, Reina-chan,” Eri said firmly.  “Just stay still!”

   The yankii glared at the turtle for a while, realized she was still holding her wrist, and immediately removed her hands and looked away.  Eri carried on her medical action for the idol.  Ai stood behind Eri and studied Reina’s red face with a smirk.

   “There, it feels better now right?” Eri asked with a smile.  “It should’ve cooled down the burn a little bit.”

   “Whatever,” Reina mumbled.  She immediately got up before anybody could stop her and walked out of the room.

   “I’m guessing dance practice is over,” Ai said.

   “She still isn’t so fond of me, is she?” Eri sighed.  “I can tell she’s a nice person; how can I get her to open up more?”

   “Don’t worry, Eri,” Ai comforted.  “She’ll loosen up; just give her time.  She’s actually opened up more than you know…”

   “She is?” Eri asked, widening her eyes.

   “Well, I know her from before so… yeah,” Ai rephrased.  “Don’t worry, just be yourself.  Everything will be fine.”

   “Really?” Eri questioned, unsure.

   “Yeah,” Ai smiled mischievously.  “I promise.”

   Meanwhile, Reina was limping down the hallway to the locker rooms, so she could get her bag.  She kept on slapping her own cheeks as if to stay awake.

   “Get a hold of yourself!” she thought.  “What the hell is wrong with me? It’s just when she touches me… I don’t know anymore!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oooooh Ai caught on to why Reina was behaving that way. Good job leader! :thumbsup But why do I get the feeling that Ai is enjoying the show a little too much? :lol:

I think Reina realise that Eri is special but she's afraid to acknowledge she likes Eri. Also, Reina doesn't know that Eri is no longer with LinLin right?

@kawaii beam: lol yeah~ XD 


like i've said, this thread just makes me SO happy~~ :wub: :D
and my trip is getting better... but i'm still only getting 6 hours of sleep per day...  :err:
But here's another chapter~ :cow:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 40

   “You’re being weird these days.”

   “Not as weird as you.”

   The two High-Queen members were sitting at opposite ends of the white couch in their living room, supposedly watching TV.  Reina shot a look towards her leader.

   “You lied to Gaki about something,” she accused.

   “How do you know?” Ai questioned.

   “Well, Eri felt the need to text me and go on about her life story…” the yankii rolled her eyes.  “And she told me her friend’s been upset since talking to you.  What’d you do?  It’s probably about your… interaction with her at the party.”

   The leader sighed.  “You’re smart, Reina, I give you that.”

   “What did you do?” the yankii repeated.

   “I took a stance that I didn’t remember anything,” Ai replied calmly.

   “Why?”

   “… It was a mistake.”

   “You don’t make mistakes.”

   “Hey, I may be a competent leader,” Ai laughed, “but I’m still human.  But it was a very careless mistake on my part.  I didn’t mean to kiss her back, I just… When she kissed me, something took over.  When I realized what I was doing, I had already crossed the line.  Big mistake.”

   “But… if it was something that impulsive…”

   “Yes, I have quite a strong affection for her,” Ai admitted.  “But she’s very confused right now, I can tell.  I want to give her the time she needs to think about what I mean to her.  She can go at her own pace; I can wait.”

   The leader turned to look at the yankii and smiled.  Reina stared for a while.

   “Why would you wait? Just go for it and be done with it,” the younger girl said.

   “You wouldn’t do that either,” Ai accused.  “Not anymore.”

   “Yes, I would,” Reina argued.

   “Then why haven’t you touched Eri yet?” Ai shot back.  She smirked as Reina’s face turned into a deep scowl.

   “What the hell are you talking about?” the yankii snarled.

   “Reina, it’s very obvious what’s going on,” Ai said, rolling her eyes.  “It’s just the two protagonists who don’t get it.”

   “Can’t you just speak regular human language for once?” Reina growled.

   “You like Eri,” Ai explained.  “I don’t know how she feels about you, but you really like her.”

   “I do not,” the yankii denied.  She felt her cheeks getting hotter; was it anger?

   “Yes, you do,” Ai contradicted, smiling.  “You don’t realize it but you do feel that way.  So tell me, how did it feel when she was watching you dance?”

   “Annoyed,” Reina grumbled, crossing her arms and glaring at her leader.

   “Paranoia,” Ai concluded.  “You get self-conscious when she’s watching you.  And how did it feel when she showed concern for you?”

   “…Annoyed,” Reina answered again.

   “Embarrassment,” Ai explained.  “You feel humiliation when you make a mistake in front of her.  And how did it feel when she treated your wound?”

   “…Annoyed…”

   “Nervousness,” Ai decided.  “You feel anxious when she touches you.”

   “I never knew there were so many types of ‘annoyed’, Ai,” Reina said through her teeth.

   “You just have limited vocabulary and common sense to know your own feelings,” Ai said with a smug smile.  “So I took the liberty of translating.  Admit it; I’m right.”

   “… Okay, fine!” Reina yelled, sighing.  “Maybe… maybe I’m more fond her then I thought I was.  But it’s not like I can do anything about it… after how I treated her.”

   “Can’t you see that she’s trying her best to get closer to you?” Ai said.  “I don’t know if it’s affections or just kindness on her account, but she really is trying.  You have to open up more.”

   “She has a girlfriend,” Reina mumbled. 

   “So she does have some sort of will to ask her out,” Ai thought, smiling.  “Just because there’s a goalie, doesn’t mean you can’t get a goal in.”

   “What am I supposed to do?” Reina demanded.  “I… I can’t… I’m not…”

   “Take it slow for now,” Ai advised.  “But you have to be nicer to her.  Open up to her until it becomes natural.  That’s your first step.  Understand?”

   “…Will she… be happier… if I do that?” Reina questioned in a low voice.

   “Yes,” Ai laughed.  “I think she’ll be very happy.”

@rndmnwierd: EXACTLY.  annoyed Reina is my reina :twothumbs

@Swtme03: yup. TanaKame is moving forward~ :wub:  and I really might break your heart... sorry :cry: :twisted: :bleed eyes:  *btw, love your new pic* XD


Ah... I'm so tired, but i'm so happy :cow:
I met a Japanese girl here, so I'm attempting to speak Japanese with her XD

So i'm slowly starting to reveal more truth.... enjoy~ :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 41

   “You have to stop moving around, Reina,” Ai said, rolling her eyes.  “You’ll be fine in front of her, don’t be nervous.”

   “I’m not nervous!” Reina argued, ruffling her hair.  “Why would I be nervous just because of… her?”

   The two idols were inside their dance studio, waiting for their two staff to arrive.  Ai was sitting by the wall while Reina was pacing around the room restlessly.

   “You and I both know why,” Ai laughed.  “Just remember to be nice.  Risa and Eri will be here any time.”

   “Not any time, now!” said a high-pitched voice at the door.

   The High-Queen girls looked up to face the turtle and the bean along with two black-haired girls trailing behind them.  Reina looked back at Ai nervously, but the leader was in no position to help.  Her face revealed no emotion but her entire body had stiffened as she stared straight ahead.  The yankii raised an eyebrow and turned back to face the visitors.

   “Ai, Reina,” Eri started.  “This is my cousin, Michishige Sayumi.  And this is our friend, Junjun.”

   Sayumi stepped forward with Junjun slightly behind her.  She smiled sweetly as Reina returned the same gesture. 

   “Michishige Sayumi, nice to meet you,” the bunny greeted.

   “Tanaka Reina, nice to meet you too,” the yankii replied smiling.

   The two girls shook hands as they kept their sweet expressions.  Yet both of their eyes had a cold edge to it.  Their hand muscles tightened more and more until they finally let go at the same time.  They smiled one more time as Reina passed by her towards the door.  Eri grabbed her shoulders.

   “Reina-chan?” she whispered.  “What’s wrong?  Are you… in a bad mood?”

   “I am now,” the yankii growled, “because of you.”  Why did you bring someone?  Why couldn’t you just come alone like always?  I… I needed to…

   With that, she stomped out of the room.  The turtle seemed at a lost and shot Risa a pleading look.  The bean returned a smile, so Eri sighed and left the room after Reina.

   “Ai,” Risa started.  “Sayu has been my friend for a long time since childhood.  Sayu, Ai is my new friend.”

   The bean examined the leader’s face and managed to catch a glimpse of shock in her expression.  But Ai immediately concealed her emotions with a smile as she stood up.  She offered her hand to Sayumi.

   “Takahashi Ai,” she introduced herself.  “Nice to meet you Michishige-san, Junjun-san.”

   “Yes, nice to meet you too,” Sayumi said, smiling.

   “Nice to meet you,” Junjun said in a low voice.

   “Sayu and Junjun wanted to take a tour of the DFA building,” Risa explained.  “So we brought them along today.”

   “I see,” Ai said.  “Welcome to my second home, Michishige-san and Junjun-san.  I hope you enjoy yourselves.”

   “Yes, I hope so too,” Sayumi said.

   Then, the young girl shot Junjun a look.  The panda immediately caught on as she made an unsure face, then sighed.

   “Gaki-san,” Junjun started, “There’s something that I heard from Shige-san’s doctor that I think I should talk to you about.  Do you mind stepping outside for a while with me?”

   “Oh.  I guess since Kameha isn’t here… sure, why not?” the bean decided. 

   Together, the two girls left the dance studio and shut the door behind them.  Sayumi waited for the click of the door.  She then smiled again at the leader, who had put in much effort to create the most comfortable expression on her face.

   “It’s good to see you again, Ai-chan,” Sayumi said.  She was smiling but her voice was cold as ice.  “It’s been a while.”

   “How kind of you to recognize me, Sayumin,” Ai replied kindly.  “I knew I would face you soon, but not this quickly.”

   “Well I can’t leave Risa-chan out in the open for too long, you know?” Sayumi giggled.  “You haven’t changed at all.”

   “I could say the same thing about you,” Ai said stiffly.

   “Yes, I haven’t changed…” Sayumi agreed.  Although her smile was still present, her eyes turned dark and cold.  “I’m exactly who I was back then, even now.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SayuAi convo will continue, followed by some TanaKame  :D

Sayu is getting more gritty as the story moves along, if Ai doesn't shut her out soon, Ai will never win, and the concern for Sayu between Gaki and Jun will be interesting

@kurosawa87: very analytical, i like it :D  and you are completely right about Ai and Sayu :)

@kRisZ: your last quote... maybe XD

@oddball: maybe~~~ you never know yet :D

@rndmnwierd: not yet~~ :twisted:

@kawaii beam: you'll see~ :D

@Fushigidane: yup~ exciting, isn't it? XD


I love how I'm just torturing you guys with curiosity :twisted:
So the next chapter I was planning turned out to be WAY too short, so it's like a half chapter now... sry :nervous

But I think the plot is DEFINITELY getting thicker 8)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 41.5

   “So… you even got a fake name to avoid Risa-chan?”

   Sayumi walked passed the grim leader towards the mirror wall.  She fixed her hair with ease and did a quick peace sign with a sweet smile. 

   “It’s not a fake name,” Ai said in a low voice.

   “Hm… well, I don’t care about that anyway,” the bunny said, tucking a lose strand of hair behind her ears.  “You probably know my business with you, Ai-chan; you’re a smart girl.”

   “Enlighten me, Sayumin,” Ai said, crossing her arms.  She was very good at composing her face but she was still careful not to lose her cool.

   “Oh, you know what I’m talking about,” Sayumi giggled, turning around.  “I just think that you’re being awfully selfish, Ai-chan.”

   “Selfish?”

   “Yes, I mean… you just appeared like this into Risa-chan’s life again… even after she said she never wanted to see you again.”  Sayumi made a small pout and cocked her head to the side.  “No offense Ai-chan, but I think you’re not respecting Risa-chan’s decision.”

   “I didn’t appear into her life,” Ai said calmly.  “She stepped into mine again.  And you don’t need to worry because Risa still doesn’t know who I am.”

   “But sweetie, that doesn’t change the fact that you’re still the Ai-chan we knew,” Sayumi said, smiling.  “I’m sorry but if Risa-chan finds out…”

   “I don’t plan to tell her the truth,” Ai interrupted.  “Sayumin, I’m just a friend to Risa right now, nothing more.  Is there even the slightest possibility that you’ll let me remain as just that to her?”

   “Oh, Ai-chan,” Sayumi said, taking the frozen leader into a hug, “of course you can stay like this.  I’m just worried that Risa-chan will get hurt again, and you’ll get hurt again.  I’m just trying to keep the peace.  Eririn doesn’t know who you are yet either, so everything is still okay.”

   “Yes, I don’t plan to tell Eri anything either,” Ai said, still stiff in Sayumi’s arms.

   “That’s a good girl,” Sayumi cooed, backing away to look at Ai’s face.  “Just keep those pretty lips shut and everything will be fine.  We’ll all make a new friendship.  Okay?”

   “Yes…” Ai answered, staring straight into Sayumi’s sweet face.  “No more mistakes.”

Why do I get the feeling that Risa was innocent in this past Ai has wiith the 3 girls and that Sayu was the one who planned the "breakup" :huhuh I kinda remember Risa telling Ai before that she didn't understand why her friend and her parted, so I'm guessing Ai was that friend?

Ooh yay for TanaKame :cow: Any chance of confession any time soon? :w00t:

Questions? of course  XD

So, it seems that Sayumi doesn't want Gaki and Kame to find out about Aichan's past either o_o which is weird, because Gaki finding out would be in Sayu's interest. Like "Now that Risa-chan knows, she won't want to hear anything about Ai and I'll have free way to her heart~" oxo
This means that Sayu was ALSO involved in AiGaki argue (?) break-up (?) something, and Gaki knowing would mean Sayu's end too D:

It's obvious Aichan doesn't want to leave Risa again, (or to be left by Risa?) hence the "don't ever leave me again" in the previous chappies  :(

Sayu being all flirty around Aichan? me likes, very much actually  :drool: cough. erm yeah.
Still very confused and eager to see what happened between all of them xD
So... enlighten us  O0
Did you spot some truth in these statements? xD

Okay, I'm trying REALLY hard to write more!  :panic:
But I just don't have the time... remember, 6 hours of sleep per day?  :badluck:
I'm still doing my best though... I got the plot line and each chapter all figured out so i'm just trying to write... :bleed eyes:

in the mean time, here's a bit more of TanaKame :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 42

   “Reina-chan!  Wait… what’s wrong?  Reina-chan!”

   Eri skittered after the stomping yankii down the hallway.  The idol punched the elevator button as the door slid open immediately.

   Memories of Reina’s past deeds flashed inside the turtle’s mind.  But Eri clenched her fists and ran towards the elevator.  She stuck her arm into the closing door to make it open again.  She tumbled in as she pressed the button for the 1st floor, and the door slid close. 

   “Reina-chan…” Eri huffed.  “I said… I said wait…”

   “I don’t need to listen to what you say,” Reina growled.  She flipped her head to the side, refusing to meet eyes with the turtle.

   “Reina-chan, what did I do wrong?” Eri asked.  “Tell me what’s wrong; look at me!”

   The older girl cupped Reina’s face and forcefully turned it towards her, making eye contact.  Reina’s eyes were wide in shock; Eri’s eyes were desperate with plea.

   “Don’t look at me like that,” Reina thought, gritting her teeth.  “I just… I didn’t want you to bring those people when I had made such a big decision!  I wanted to… talk to you… just you

   “Tell me,” Eri demanded.

   “… like your cousin.”

   “Huh?”

   “I said I don’t like your cousin!” Reina shouted.  She broke away from Eri’s hold and backed away.  She felt her cheeks getting hot as she looked to the side.

   “… I’m not sure if I understand,” Eri said, confused.  “What… what do you have against Sayumi?  Why wouldn’t you like her?”

   “Just because!” Reina yelled.  “She seems to be just like you; loud and annoying!”

   “Reina-chan,” Eri said, trying not to laugh.  “How can you tell that we’re alike just from greeting her?”

   “I… I could tell, okay?” Reina stuttered angrily.  “You’re all the same!”  She felt her temperature rising.  “Damn, I sound so stupid right now!

   Eri smiled.  She still wasn’t sure of Reina’s real reason for getting angry, but she could tell it wasn’t anything too serious.  Even though they were in the elevator, the turtle didn’t feel scared of the yankii at all.  Reina seemed, in a way… cute.  The way she always complained and pretended to be annoyed was actually quite charming.

   “Reina-chan~” Eri said, smiling.  “Come on, cheer up!  Please?  Please?”  She cocked her head to the side with a small pout.

   Reina covered her mouth as she felt her cheeks burn, almost like a hot iron.  She slowly started to back away until she hit the wall, but Eri only took more steps forward to corner her.

   “G-get away!” Reina growled.  She started to hallucinate a little; Eri’s cheeks seemed bright red and she had a big goofy grin with sleepy, unfocused eyes.

   “Reina-chan~ do you want to kiss me?”

   “What?!”

   “I said,” Eri said, breaking Reina’s thoughts, “do you want to leave DFA with me?”

   “I… uh…” The yankii couldn’t look away from the turtle’s beautiful eyes that were filled with innocence and concern.

   “Great!” Eri decided, laughing.  “Let’s go!”

   The elevator dinged as the doors slid open.  Eri unconsciously slipped her hand in Reina’s hand to drag her through the lobby and out of the building.

   “Hey, wait!” Reina said, stumbling into Eri’s pace.  “Where are we going?”

   “You’re feeling down so I’m going to cheer you up!” Eri announced.  “Let’s go somewhere, we’ll have fun!”

   “You’re idea of fun isn’t my idea of fun,” Reina grumbled. 

   “Just trust me on this,” Eri laughed.

   Even though the yankii continued to complain under her breath, she obediently followed the turtle down the street.  She did not dare to lift her face, for she was still afraid of her cheeks still being red.

   “She’s not saying ‘don’t touch me’ today,” Eri thought, grinning.  “Did I get a little bit closer to her heart?

   “Her hands feel so warm…” Reina thought.  “I want to keep her close to me like this…

@Fushigidane: yup. there are some mysteries to that... 8)


I LOVE Y'ALL :D Just putting it out there :lol:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 43

   “So this is High-Queen’s recording studio,” Risa announced.  “I guess you can say we really do our ‘stuff’ here.”

   “Wow, this is really cool,” Sayumi remarked, looking around the small soundproof room.  “So Takahashi-san, you and Tanaka-san sing together here?”

   “Yes, we do,” Ai replied, smiling.  “It’s a meaningful place for us.”

   Risa was taking Sayumi and Junjun around the DFA building for a little tour.  Ai was trailing behind with Junjun while Sayumi was plastered on to her friend.

   “Risa-chan!” Sayumi exclaimed, linking her arms with the bean.  “Show me more places!”

   The bunny quickly dragged Risa and leaned on her shoulders.  The older girl didn’t seem to mind too much; after all, Sayumi was just like a little sister to her.  But she was completely unaware of the two pairs of eyes glaring at her from behind.

   “Risa-chan,” Sayumi started, “I’m so excited to be here with you like this.  It’s good to be free.”  She wrapped her arms around Risa’s neck to give her a quick hug and a peck on her cheek.

   Junjun stopped dead in her tracks.  She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.  If she stayed, she felt as though she would explode.  So the panda made the smart choice of turning around and briskly walking away.

   “Junjun, where are you going?” Risa asked, trying to turn around while being completely immobilized by Sayumi’s clinging.

   “I’m just… going to the bathroom,” Junjun mumbled.

   “Are you feeling okay?” Risa questioned, concerned.  “Do you want me to come with you?”

   At that moment, Junjun caught a glance of Sayumi’s expression from next to Risa.  Her dark eyes were cold like onyx in contrast to her pale, white skin.  Her lips curved down as she narrowed her eyes.  Junjun bit down on her bottom lip and smiled a little.

   “It’s okay, I’ll be fine,” she answered in a low whisper. 

   With that, she quickly walked away from the small tour group.  She managed to find the bathroom and quickly dashed in.  She immediately turned the faucet and splashed her face with cold water.  Her face distorted into a pained expression.

   “Damn it,” she thought.  “It hurts… so much…

   “You don’t seem like you’ll be fine,” a voice whispered from behind.

   The Chinese pianist looked up to see Ai, through the mirror, standing behind her.  She quickly composed her face and smiled.

   “I’m just very tired,” Junjun laughed shakily.  “You don’t have to worry, Takahashi-san.”

   “I have a question for you,” Ai said.  “… What is Michishige Sayumi to you?”

   “This girl is sharp.  But she doesn’t seem like the type to use information against someone…” Junjun thought.  “If I answer, will you answer my question?”

   “… Yes,” Ai agreed.

   “Shige-san is my all,” Junjun declared without hesitation.  “I thought it was just a crush at first but… I really love her.  I don’t know why but I can’t stop this feeling.  I guess it’s just my fate.”

   “What a sad fate, only to watch your loved one from afar,” Ai thought as she nodded.  “Well, I guess I’m not the one to talk, since I’m in the same situation…

   “So my question,” Junjun started.  “Who are you to Shige-san?  And Gaki-san and Kame-san?”

   “You’re mentioning all of them,” Ai said, laughing softly.  “How much do you know, Jun-san?  How much did Michishige-san tell you in order to make you pull out Risa so we can have a private conversation?”

   “So you figured it out,” Junjun answered, smiling weakly.  “Well, Shige-san told me that you would catch on.”

   “How much do you know, Jun-san?” Ai questioned again.

   “Not much, actually,” Junjun answered, leaning on the sink as she turned around.  “Shige-san told me Gaki-san, Kame-san, and she had personal relations with you.  She told me there was something private she needed to speak to you about, so I had to get everybody away from you.  Tanaka-san made my job easier.  That’s all I know.”

   “You didn’t ask for more information?” Ai asked, surprised.

   “If Shige-san doesn’t want me to know, I’m okay with not knowing,” Junjun claimed, smiling a little.  “Of course, I’d like more information.  But I also know Shige-san isn’t comfortable with telling me everything.  And that’s fine with me… because I love her unconditionally.”

   “Unconditionally?” Ai questioned.  “So even if Michishige-san isn’t the girl you think she is… you’ll still do whatever she tells you to do?”

   “Yes,” Junjun answered easily.  “That’s the definition of unconditional, no?”

   “This girl is strong,” Ai thought.  “But Sayumin’s selfishness will hurt her one day.

   “As you can see, I’m the most unimportant outsider in your story,” Junjun said, smiling.  “I can’t help you.”

   “I didn’t talk to you, expecting you to help or anything,” Ai denied.  “I guess I was just… curious.”

   “About what?”

   “About you.”  The leader smiled genuinely.  “You’re a good person, Jun-san.  Please continue to take care of Michishige-san.”

   “I’ll do that even without you asking,” the panda said, also smiling.

   “Her strength and patience will soon be her weakness… And Jun-san knows that,” Ai thought.  “But I won’t let that happen.  I won’t let my patience become a weakness…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So there's some High-Queen convo next chapter, which always reveals some inner feelings :twothumbs

Poor Jun~! I kinda like to see her suffer some though, if she does change Sayu or ends up completely used up by her, I think either way will turn out fine. Well, not fine, but well written. XD

poor Jun, she is heading to a very difficult place and it looks life her life will be destroyed, I wonder if Ai will start trying to protect Jun?

Sayu scheme? What is it she knows about Ai, or whatever she may be called and why does Sayu know this but not Risa or Eri?

Poor Reina, still all muddled up about Eri, she has not control over the situation at all  :lol:

@rndmnwierd: lol yeah, I actually kinda want to elaborate more on Sayu and Jun both :twothumbs

@oddball: Sayumi is just a lot sharper than Risa or Eri... and a lot more ebil :twisted:

@kawaii beam: yup, junjun... :cry:  can't wait to go home!!! XD

i'm writing this in the middle of the night... I'm sorry it's so short, i had a pretty bad day today :badluck:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 45

   “Ai, you’re acting weird.”

   “You’re not the one to talk, Reina!”

   The two idols were, once again, sitting at opposite ends of their couch.   The TV was on but neither of them were paying attention.  The yankii turned and glared at her leader.

   “Hey, no need to yell at me!” she shouted back.  “You just seem different today… you’re not as composed.”

   “Of course I’m composed!” Ai said through her teeth in a high-pitched voice.  “I’m always chill, aren’t I?”

   “I’ve lived with you for too long to believe that, Ai,” Reina said, rolling her eyes.

   “I’m perfectly fine,” Ai growled with a tight grin.  But her hands curled up into fists as she gritted her teeth.  “Keep your cool, Ai.  You should be satisfied with just being able to see Risa… Sayumin was trying to tick you off on purpose today; don’t fall for it!

   “Fine then,” Reina said, wrapping her arms around her knees again.  “I don’t have time to worry about you anyway.  I have my own problems to solve and decisions to make.”

   “Decisions?” Ai questioned, suddenly perking up.  “What decisions?”

   “You won’t tell anyone, right?” Reina said, turning red.

   “I swear,” Ai promised, leaning in towards the yankii.  She had never blushed like that before; that definitely caught the leader’s attention.  It amused her.

   “I… I think I’m going to confess,” Reina whispered.

   “To…?”

   “You know already!” Reina yelled, turning even redder.  “I’m going to confess… to Eri.”

   “I thought you said she had a girlfriend?” Ai asked, surprised.

   “I decided that I don’t care,” Reina announced.  “I’ve never cared before; why should I care now?  I mean, I don’t expect anything to happen with her… but I just want to get it out there.  I don’t feel like I can hide it anymore.”  The yankii buried her face in her arms.

   “Reina, if you really like her that much, everything will turn out fine,” Ai said comfortingly.  “I’m surprised you decided to take the initiative though.”

   “Me too,” Reina thought, not lifting her head.  “It feels like the right thing to do in my guts… I just hope I’m right.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Again, sorry that it's so short...  But I hope this triggered some interests from TanaKame fans? :twothumbs

Consider my interest triggered! Did Reina have an epiphany while she was out with Eri? What exactly happened to make her change from 'What's this feeling?' to 'Omg, I like her~!'

@rndmnwierd: the truth is, I was going to include Reina's thoughts on what they did in their outing... but honestly, i just didn't have the time... :smhid  Just imagine something like... Eri dragging Reina around EVERYWHERE while the yankii just complains even though she's blushing.  :wub: :inlove:

@oddball: lol Reina's just losing it :D

@kawaii beam: oh, Ai is SERIOUSLY losing it :twisted:

@Fushigidane: yay! I'll try to write more, sorry bout it being too short :cry:


So I was going to update a chapter but I realized the first one was too boring and short, so i wrote another one... yes, i pulled an all-nighter for this :err:
So please make it worth and leave LONG LONG comments, you don't know how happy they make me :onioncheer:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 45

   “Is it really necessary to go all the way to the roof to pick a song?” Risa complained.  “We’re going to be late for the meeting.”

   “I’d rather be late with a song then early without a song,” Ai explained, smiling.  She took Risa’s hand and led her out of the elevator and through the roof top of the DFA building.  They turned and crouched together in the spot they had last picked High-Queen’s single.  Risa handed her song notebook to Ai.

   “I can’t promise I have anything good in there,” Risa said.  “I’ve been pretty busy these days…”

   “With what?” Ai questioned.

   “Well, since Sayu is out of the hospital,” Risa started, “Eri and I had had to take her around everywhere.  She hasn’t seen the outside world in a long time.”

   “I see,” Ai said, monotonously.

   “I like this song the best,” Risa said, flipping to a page.  “It has a good beat and nice lyrics.  Unless you wanted something faster?”

   “I want something a little stronger this time,” Ai said through her teeth.  “Something that says I won’t be weak.  Something that expresses my desires.  Something that says I won’t stand by and watch ridiculous things happen—”

   “Ai!” Risa interrupted with a worried expression.  “Um… are you alright?”

   “Yeah, yeah, I’m fine,” Ai said.  Her smile was starting to look more psychotic now.

   “You seem a bit stressed…”

   “No, no, no stress,” the leader laughed dryly.

   She started to flip through Risa’s blue notebook furiously until she spotted an interesting title.  She checked the key and tempo; it was an upbeat dance song.  She quickly read the lyrics and her facial expression changed to that of determination.

   “I like this song,” Ai decided, pointing to the page.  “It’s exactly what I’m looking for.  I want this song.”

   “Really?  It’s something that I just wrote in my spare time…” Risa hesitated.

   “No, it’s perfect,” Ai said.  “I can definitely relate to it.”

   “But it’s a song about waiting and wanting love,” Risa thought.  “Could Ai be… in love?

   “So I’m bringing this up at the meeting which we should be at right now,” Ai declared.  “Is that okay with you?”

   “I’m fine with it,” Risa said, smiling.  “I’m glad you found something.  Do you think Reina will…?”

   “Yeah, I think she can relate to it too… kind of.”

   “Okay then,” Risa decided, standing up.  “We’ll go with this song.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

boring right? I tried to be funnier in the next chapter  :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 46

   “Takahashi, you just chose this song, didn’t you?  And that’s why you and Niigaki-san are late to the meeting!”

   “What’s wrong with just choosing a song?  I like it; that’s the end of it.”

   The room stayed silent as the High-Queen leader and the producer glared at each other.  The yankii was slouched down with a worried expression.  The fashion coordinator was staring at the younger singer with eyes full of concern.  The composer sat staring at the leader in confusion.  Ai had slammed Risa’s notebook down on the table, insisting the song she had chosen be High-Queen’s next single.

   “Takahashi,” Tsunku growled, “this isn’t a joke.  We’re talking about High-Queen’s new single here; you girls have to manage the first place spot on the charts!”

   “And we’ll do that,” Ai answered, “with this song.”

   “Takahashi—”

   “What’s wrong with the song?” the leader interrupted.  “I think it’s a good song.  We’ve sang a lot of happy songs and ballads.  We made a change with ‘Everyday Everywhere’ into a more mature concept.  Let’s keep that and add some spice to it, shall we?”

   Everybody in the room turned their attention to the rash idol.  Tsunku’s eyes were practically bulging.

   “And what is this ‘spice’ you have in mind?” the producer questioned.

   “It’s a pretty upbeat song,” Ai started.  “Let’s add some maturity, some sexiness.  We’re trying to get some love here; let’s go with some seductive dance moves.”

   The High-Queen staff members’ eyes almost popped out of their eyes sockets.  Tsunku’s chin dropped and did not close.  Ai had never spoken like this before; she was always the more composed and responsible one.  And now she wanted to get… seductive?

   “… You think you can pull it off?” Tsunku questioned quietly.

   “Reina and I both can,” Ai said without hesitation.  “Right, Reina?”

   “Huh?  Um, yeah, sure…” the yankii replied, her eyes still wide open.

   “We’re both over 20 years old now,” Ai continued.  “We can go with something more rated-R.”

   “Since when do you use the word ‘rated-R’?” Tsunku asked, confused.  “Takahashi, are you feeling okay?”

   “I’m fine,” Ai snapped.  “So it’s settled, right?  We’re going with this song, right?”

   “Niigaki-san?” Tsunku asked.

   “I believe High-Queen can pull off anything,” Risa answered, still shocked.

   “Kamei-san?”

   “I’m sure I can design something… um… suitable,” Eri mumbled.

   “… Okay then,” Tsunku sighed.  “Everybody get to work on this then.  High-Queen’s next single will be this, ‘Cinderella Complex’.  Meeting over.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, Ai is getting REALLY pissed and she's losing herself :panic: :D

I missed out like....

!?!

40 over chapters of comments!? XD I've been lurking around way too much!

Ai - It's always fun to get past her facade to see the real her... XD I'm just dying to know the past between the 4 of them.. but i think i might have an idea.... something probably like..... Ai was in the puppy love stage with Risa andddddd......... Sayu came into the picture trying to make Ai look bad in Risa's eyes by...... the dramatic way. Kiss Ai~ with Risa hiding (stalking? haha..the other party always..ALWAYS just might be somewhere when things like this happens) somewhere seeing it? LOL! Tell me i'm right! Woo! lol <- haven been watching too much drama..so i came up with the oldest and most common one. XD 

Reina - GO GIRL! (http://www.laymark.com/i/m/m088.gif) (http://www.laymark.com) Haha.. Hundreds of us must be like "Nooooooooo... she doesn't have a gf now~~~~~~~~~" XD I realized a ReinAi group is quite a nice combi~ It's nice to watch calm Ai to break apart and fun to see Reina's ice crack to become a softy XD She is officially whipped by Eri~  :lol:

Risa - How could she have forgotten something/ one that was so dear to her? hmmmm.... XD How young were they at the point of time anyway?

Eri - XD I would like her to trap Reina again~ LOL Haven really seen her pointof view about how she actually felt for Reina at this point of time. Have she sort it out yet too?

Sayu - EBIL~ we all know this already.. *grabs popcorn* shall see how things goes by.. but i wish this time she wun succeed. :P She have Jun anyway now! =X

*Goes back into hiding*  :mon dive:

Woah, Ai really is freaking out! Something tells me that Ai won't be able to keep up her end of the deal with Sayu for very much longer, especially if a certain concerned bean has her way. Maybe they can get another, more private party going for them. :twisted:

Well, if you really wanted to write Reina's epiphany, you could just do it flashback style. Not that I'm trying to tell you how to go about your story or anything~

Assertive Ai...I like~ :twothumbs Seems to me that Ai is controlling the Sayu situation in her own way. I mean, if you can't use the direct approach, attack by another strategy, at least that's what I think

Yay!!! Reina's gonna confess already. I feel that Eri does like Reina, even if she hasn't realised it yet, judging by the way she has been paying a lot of attention to the yankii. I'm just curious with the style of confession Reina will use and if it will influence Eri's decision. Heck, it might just turn out comical :lol:

@kurosawa87: oh, you need a stronger word than "irritated" for Ai at the moment, sweetie XD

@rndmnwierd: GAH I would, but i have absolutely no idea what to write about that, specifically.  But the next chapter will be a pretty in-depth TanaKame outing XD

@oddball: yup! something BIG :w00t:

@badsaints: yeah, it's the awkward yankii with the clueless turtle :twothumbs


Thanks for the LONG comments guys, it helpes out, seriously :cow:
So this is a longer chapter~ it's gonna get a bit more exciting, this is like the pre-step to the main main plot XD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 47

   “Nee, Risa-chan, what was that all about?”

   Eri tapped on her friend’s shoulder restlessly with a worried expression.  The shock from Ai’s unusual behavior had not gone away yet.  The two friends were together inside the elevator so they could go home.

   “I have no clue,” Risa answered sighing.  “She seemed very… energetic about the song…”

   “There has got to be a better word than ‘energetic’, Risa-chan,” Eri disagreed.  “I mean, sexiness?  Seductive?  Rated-R?  Where are all these vocabulary words coming from?”

   “Maybe she’s just stressed,” Risa sighed.  “I just wish that if she’s having trouble with something, she would come to me to talk about it… But High-Queen just had to run out right after the meeting, huh?”

   The turtle and the bean finally reached the first floor.  As they walked out through the front entrance of DFA, both of their chins dropped open with a pop.

   Reina was leaning on the hood of a silver sports car, biting her nails.  But when she noticed her two staff members staring, she immediately shifted her hand to her head, acting as though she had been brushing her fingers through her hair all along.  She cleared her throat.

   “What are you staring at,” she mumbled, scowling.

   “The last time I saw this car,” Eri started, wide-eyed, “it was a black convertible.  Since when was it a silver sports car?”

   “That’s because it’s a different car, baka,” Reina groaned, rolling her eyes.  “That was Ai’s car.  This is mine.”

   “Oh…” Eri sighed.

   “So… um… you’re heading home, Reina?” Risa questioned.

   “Not exactly,” Reina answered, scratching her head.  “Um… do you want to go somewhere with me right now?”

   “Me?” Risa asked, confused.

   “No, not you, her!” Reina yelled as she pointed at the flabbergasted turtle.  “The hopelessly idiotic one… you.”  The yankii kept her head down, just in case she was blushing.

   “Me?” Eri shrilled, surprised.  “Um, yeah, I guess… sure.”

   “I’ll meet you back home,” Risa said, not taking her eyes off the strange yankii.

   With that, the turtle raised an eyebrow at the bean and walked over to the silver car.  Reina turned and got into the drivers seat.  Eri helped herself into the passenger seat and put on her seatbelt.  Then, the sports car sped down the road.

   “Sugoii…” Risa gasped.

   “So you like sports cars more than convertibles?” a loud voice asked, right into the bean’s ear.

   “Gah!”  Risa jumped back to find Ai with puckered lips.  “Ai!  You didn’t go home yet?”

   “Not yet,” Ai said, smiling.  “There was just something I needed to see.”

   “What’s that?”

   “… Let’s just say it’s some sort of miraculous yet very entertaining change,” Ai said, laughing to herself.  An image of Reina, frowning as her cheeks turned pink, popped into the leader’s head.

   “Um, okay then…” Risa said, still confused.  Then, she clenched her fists tightly and looked straight into Ai’s face.  “Nee, if there’s something wrong, I want you to tell me.”

   “Well, that was random,” Ai chuckled.  “What makes you think there’s something wrong?”

   “You’re acting differently, Ai,” Risa said.  “You’re always composed and mature but… you seem a little disorganized these days.”

   “Really?” Ai said.  She took a step towards the bean and used her index finger to lift up Risa’s chin.  “Then what if this is my true self?  What if I’m not really the mature one?  What if I’m actually the possessive one, the impatient one, the selfish one, the dishonest one?  What if I said you shouldn’t involve yourself with me, so you don’t get hurt?”

   Risa’s eyes widened.  What was Ai saying?  Her eyes were so dark and serious.  Her breathing was steady against the bean’s face but… she seemed uneasy.  The leader held Risa’s shocked gaze for a few more seconds before grinning.

   “Just kidding,” Ai whispered, backing away.  “I wanted to cheer both of us up but I guess it wasn’t that funny, huh?”

   “Oh, well… um…”

   “It’s fine,” Ai laughed.  “There’s nothing wrong with me, Risa.  But thanks for your concern.  And in return, why don’t I drive—”

   “There you are, Risa-chan!”

   The two girls turned to face Sayumi and Junjun walking down the street.  Ai’s smile dropped as a hard mask returned to her face.  Sayumi smiled sweetly and skipped towards the bean and jumped into her arms.

   “Sayu?” Risa exclaimed.  “What are you doing here?”

   “I wanted to find you so we can do something together!” Sayumi announced excitedly.  “Oh, hello Takahashi-san!  I didn’t see you there.”

   “It’s good to see you again, Michishige-san,” Ai said professionally.  “You too, Jun-san.”

   “Yes, nice to see you,” Junjun replied solemnly.

   “Risa-chan, let’s go hang out!” Sayumi exclaimed, linking her arms with the bean’s.  “Takahashi-san, would you like to come along?”  She looked at the leader innocently.

   “No, it’s fine,” Ai said stiffly.  “I better get home.”

   “Nee, Ai—”

   “I’ll see you tomorrow, Gaki-san,” Ai interrupted.  With that, she turned and walked away briskly.  Risa stared at the leader’s back with shocked eyes.

   “She called me Gaki-san” Risa thought.  “Since when am I Gaki-san to her again?  Did I do something wrong?  I feel like we’re growing apart… No, I don’t like this!

   While Risa’s expression twisted in misery and pain, Sayumi slowly smiled as she watched Ai disappear down the street.  Junjun bit her lips and looked away, not wanting to deal with the contradicting feelings in her heart.

   Meanwhile, Ai stomped down the street and turned into the parking lot.  She got into her car and dropped her head onto the car handle.  She beat her fist on her thighs.

   “Damn it!” she thought.  “What’s wrong with me? Why did I just call her Gaki-san?  It took so long to be able to call her by her first name; why did I do that?  I need to stay low but… how long can I hold out? I can’t even trust myself anymore…

I don't think Risa will give up so easily. Then again, neither will Sayu. Ai's going to have to break her promise if she expects everyone(except the evil bunny) to stay sane.

Where are all these vocabulary words coming from?
I dunno why, but this is my fav line of the chapter. :lol:

Can't wait for the Tanakme outing! To make up for the one we missed XD

Sorry, I didn't comment 'cause I was VERY busy. Gyaaa!! I lost a lot of chapters. :panic:
Poor Ai-chan, She's really affected. Don't give up Aichan! Fight for the little bean.  :scolding:
Kyaaa! Reina is so cute, she's doing a big effort. If I had not  read the 47 chapters, I would say Reina is bipolar when Eri is around her.  :wub:

I just LOVE when I pull out lurkers, I feel all fresh XD
So, since i've been giving you guys only short chapters, here's a SUPAH long one...  :panic: :twothumbs
Rndmn, I hope this satisfies you :P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 48

   “Reina-chan… I still can’t believe you brought me here of all places,” Eri said, stifling a giggle.

   “I said don’t laugh!” Reina yelled, blushing from embarrassment.  “And don’t say my name too loudly; it’s never good to stand out in public like this for me.”

   The two girls were sitting in a booth, across from each other, in a fast food place.  Reina was examining her burger in a very analytical way.  Eri was chewing on a french fry, watching the oblivious yankii play with her food.

   “But Reina-chan,” Eri giggled, “you said you were taking me to somewhere you’ve always wanted to go to.  I thought it would be some place amazing but… this is a fast food place!”  Eri finally exploded and started to laugh hysterically. 

   Reina was acting very cute today in Eri’s eyes.  She had said that there was something she really wanted to try: it was a double cheeseburger.  She had tried to order by herself: Eri had to step in before Reina blew up on the cashier.  She had tried to open a ketchup pack: it exploded in her hands and Eri had to get wet towels for her.  So basically, Reina was in a very stressed and embarrassed mood while Eri was very entertained and happy.

   “Don’t blame me,” Reina grumbled, staring at her burger.  “I’ve been in show biz since I was 13 years old; I didn’t get to enjoy most of the social activities people do in Japan.”  The yankii examined the burger a little more and took a bite out of it, then nodded her head slowly.  “This is pretty good.  A little fattening, but tasty.”

   “I’m glad you like it,” Eri chuckled.  It was so odd how she could laugh like this in front of the Tanaka Reina, the one who had hurt her…  Even weirder, laughing like this felt so natural.  Eri already felt so close to Reina, and she wanted to get even closer.

   “So,” Reina continued, chewing on her food, “your job today is to enlighten me.”

   “Enlighten you?”

   “Take me anywhere you want.  Take me some place where people hang out; show me what the people of Japan do on their free time.”

   “Why are you suddenly interested in this?” Eri questioned, raising an eyebrow.  “I would’ve thought that you didn’t care about anything except… yourself.”

   “I’m an entertainer, I have to be able to relate to civilians,” Reina said in a low voice.  And you. I want get to know you.  “Just take me anywhere you usually hang around.”

   “Then I know just the place!” Eri exclaimed, getting up from her seat.  “Oh my gosh, I’ll show you my favorite hang-out spot!  Come on, Reina-chan!”

   “Keep your voice down!” Reina whispered loudly as Eri grabbed her wrist.  “And I want to finish this burger— it tastes good— do you mind?”

   “Take it with you, come on!”

   With that, Eri dragged the singer out of the fast food place, giving Reina no chance at all to protest.  They ran all the way to the shopping district.  At some point in their run, Reina threw out the rest of her burger, which was a hard decision because it tasted absolutely heavenly to her.  Right before entering a store that Eri pinpointed, Reina quickly checked her teeth in the shop window.  Satisfied with her appearance, the yankii composed her face again into that of an annoyed expression and followed Eri into the shop.

   Eri was already bouncing around store.  She took a pink blouse and held it up against the idol. 

   “What do you think, Reina-chan?” the turtle beamed.  “Isn’t it cute?  You should try it on.”

   “It’s not my style at all,” Reina shot back, pushing the blouse away.  Then, Eri started pouting a little.  The yankii covered the bottom half of her face, trying to hide the blush in her cheeks, and sighed.  “If you find something that I like, I’ll try it on.”

   “Okay!” Eri answered, re-energized by Reina’s promise. 

   She immediately whirl-winded around the room like a hurricane and collected various outfits.  The yankii chose a couple of them, walked into the dressing room stall, and closed the curtains.

   “Did you put something on yet?” Eri asked, restless.

   “I just got in here,” Reina replied, rolling her eyes.  She grabbed whatever was first in the pile of clothes.  It was a golden one-piece dress with a zipper on the back.  The bottom was ruffled and there was a big bow right by the chest area. 

   The yankii almost wanted to toss it into the corner and not even touch it.  But then she thought of the expectant turtle outside… with those shiny eyes… and that pout… Ugh.  Okay, that did it. 

   So the idol stripped down quickly and put the dress on.  But she couldn’t reach the zipper in the back.  She let out a groan of frustration.

   “Reina-chan, is something wrong?” Eri voice came from the other side of the curtain.

   “It’s nothing… just the zipper,” Reina grumbled back.

   “Oh, I can help.”

   Before Reina could say otherwise, Eri helped herself into the small space in the dressing stall.  Reina immediately looked down at the floor as she felt her cheeks heating up. 

   But there was absolutely no change in Eri’s facial expression.  She was a fashion designer; she had seen a lot of naked bodies, much less a bare back.  She had already seen Ai in her undergarments as well, while she was helping her with her costume.  Of course, she hadn’t seen Reina in that state, for the yankii always insisted she would put on her own clothes.

   “Wow, you’re back is really smooth, Reina-chan,” Eri commented, completely oblivious to Reina’s nervousness.  “I wish my back was smooth like that.”

   “Can she hear herself talking right now?” Reina thought.  “It sounds almost like sex-talk!  Or is that just me going psychotic?

   The turtle swiftly pulled the dress zipper up and looked at the yankii’s full body through the mirror.

   “You look so cute in it!” Eri exclaimed happily.  “You definitely have to get this, Reina-chan.”

   “It’s not my style,” Reina contradicted, biting her lips.  “It’s too… frilly… and girly.”

   “But it really suits you, though,” Eri sighed.  “Well, I guess I can’t tell you what to buy and what not to buy.  Why don’t you try the other ones too?  I’ll be right outside.”

   Then, Eri pulled down Reina’s dress zipper swiftly and walked out, not hearing the idol’s sudden gasp from her action.  Reina held herself for a moment, and then straightened up.  She took off the dress and held it up to herself again.  Eri’s smile, her hopes, her laughter popped into her mind. 

   “Have I already gotten this helpless?” Reina thought.  “I… really do like her, don’t I?

   Without another thought, the yankii put on her original clothes and walked out of the stall.  Eri looked at her with wide-eyes. 

   “I’ll buy this dress,” Reina said in a low voice, holding up the golden frilly dress.  “So can we leave?”

   “Yes!” Eri exclaimed, practically bouncing in place. 

   The rest of the day basically went the same way.  Eri dragged Reina all around the shopping district, forcing her into the dressing rooms.  Reina always rolled her eyes or groaned at Eri’s overreaction to every cute outfit she found.  But in truth, she had smiled a couple times today, and the turtle had caught her doing so.  In the end, Reina ended buying only the first dress they found.  But Eri still seemed satisfied by her hunt of the day so Reina also breathed a sigh of relief.

   It was already around ten o’clock when the silver sports car pulled in front of Eri and Risa’s home.  Reina walked with Eri all the way to the door.  The turtle turned and smiled.

   “I had a lot of fun today, Reina-chan,” she said.  “Thanks.  We should hang out like this more often.”

   “Uh-huh…” Reina mumbled.

   “Well, I’ll see you next time.”

   “W-wait a minute!”

   Before the turtle could go inside the house, Reina grabbed her wrist and turned her around to face her.  Eri’s eyes widened.

   “What is it?”

   Reina gritted her teeth, then bit down on her lips.  “You can do this, Reina.  Focus.  It doesn’t matter if she has a girlfriend; the important thing is letting her know how you feel.

   “Reina-chan?”

   “Listen… Eri…” Reina started.  “I’ve known you for a couple months now.  Um, we didn’t get off to a very nice start… I guess that’s my fault.  But, um, you helped me get over my past… and you taught me to move on and look to the future.  I’m really, uh, thankful for that.  And, um… if you didn’t teach me that… I don’t know where I’d be at this moment.  I guess what I’m trying to say is, I feel like you’re a necessity to my life now.  So, uh…”

   “You can just say what you need to say, Reina-chan,” Eri whispered.

   “I like you!” Reina blurted out, looking straight into the older girl’s eyes.  She had gained a little more backbone now.  “No, I love you.  I know you probably don’t feel the same way towards me, but I still needed to say it.  I don’t expect you to return the same feelings… but I just wanted you to know that there’s someone named Tanaka Reina in this world who is in love with you.”

   The yankii held her determined expression as she looked at the turtle’s shocked face.  I’ve done it. Just please, don’t let me lose her…

   Suddenly, Eri jumped toward Reina and wrapped her arms around her neck, taking her into a hug.  Reina unconsciously wrapped her arms around Eri’s waist as well, although her expression was still that of confusion.

   “I love you too,” Eri whispered in her ears.

   Reina pushed the older girl away to look at her face with wide eyes. 

   “What?!” Reina yelled.  “But… but I hurt you!”

   “It’s in the past.”

   “I’m always cruel to you!”

   “You never mean it.”

   “But… you have a girlfriend!”

   “No, I don’t.”

   Reina’s chin dropped open with a pop.  She was so confused; she had to organize all these facts flying towards her.

   “But I hurt you like that and you cried so much and I’m always so cold and you had a girlfriend that day and she was my fan and you were worried but if you don’t have a girlfriend and I like you and you like me back and we have mutual feelings and does that mean—”

   Reina never finished her sentence because of Eri’s sudden attack on her mouth.  The older girl’s lips moved slowly, molding itself onto Reina’s glossy lips.  It was a soft, warm, mild, yet sweet kiss.  Eri soon backed away and inch and smiled at Reina’s surprised face.

   “You talk too much,” she whispered.  “You love me and I love you.  So we’re officially together now… right?”

   “… Damn it!”

   Muttering a curse under her breath, Reina immediately placed her mouth back on to Eri’s lips, unable to control her want.  This kiss was rougher; Reina’s lips continuously moved, trying to find some way into Eri’s mouth.  Soon, the turtle’s lips parted, and the yankii seized the chance to stick her tongue in.  Their tongues twirled around each others while Reina tried to stay in control.  Eri was the one to finally look away to the side, gasping for air.

   “Stop… stop…” she huffed.  “I can’t… I can’t breathe…”

   “I’m so sorry!” Reina apologized desperately.  “I… I took it too far, I’m sorry!”  Big mistake, Reina!

   “No, it’s fine,” Eri gasped.  “I’m just… not use to it yet.  But that doesn’t mean I didn’t… like it.”

   Eri gave a sweet smile to the idol.  Reina stared back at the turtle for a while, then gave a smile of relief.  She embraced her tightly.

   “Thank you…” Reina whispered.  “Thank you so much!  I promise, I’ll treat you right.  I won’t mess up this time.  Not with you.  Not ever again.”

   “Correction: I won’t let you mess up,” Eri giggled.  “Because I think I like you just as much as you like me.”

   Just like that, the two girls smiled and held on to each other for a little longer.  Reina kept her arms tightly locked around the waist of her new girlfriend.

I'm thinking of an even cuter confession for TakaGaki (cuz I like them more) so stick with me~  XD

And I'm going home in two days~ :P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 49

   “And then I said she was talking too much and I asked if we were officially a couple now and she cursed under her breath and she kissed me again and I opened my mouth to breath and she stuck her—”

   “Okay!  Too much info, Kameha!”

   Risa clamped both of her hands on her ears to prevent herself from hearing the rest of Eri’s blissful story.  The two friends were sitting together on Risa’s bed, reading fashion magazines and listening to music: a typical chill time for them. 

   Eri was practically shooting bullets out of her mouth as she described how Reina confessed her love to her.  Risa tried not to listen but it was hard to do that.  After all, Eri’s high-pitched voice was like a different frequency that hit your ears the wrong way sometimes.

   “But I’m just happy~” Eri said, rocking back and forth while hugging a pillow.  “I mean, I feel kind of weird about this… but at the same time, it feels so right.  You know?”

   “No, I don’t know,” Risa answered.  Eri rolled her eyes as the bean grinned.  “I’m just joking.  And I’m happy for you.  I guess I’m trying to trust you with your life a little more now.”

   “Thank you, ‘mother’,” Eri said sarcastically, smiling.

**  **  ** 

   “Yeah… so she kissed me… and she said I talked too much… which is ironic because usually I don’t talk at all… anyway, I couldn’t resist… so I kissed her again… and then—”

   “Reina, I thought this was supposed to be a happy story,” Ai interrupted, laughing.  “Can’t you be a little more energetic?”

   “I am energetic,” Reina said, monotonously.

   The two idols were sitting on the couch in their living room.  The TV was on again but as usual, neither of them were paying attention.  Reina was curled up in a ball, hugging a cushion, as she tried to hide much of her red face as possible.  Ai just stared at her member with a smirk; it was so entertaining to see how this yankii just wanted to talk about her new girlfriend… but was trying to stick with her cool character at the same time.

   “So you’re happy now, right?” Ai questioned.

   “… I feel a lot better than before,” Reina answered slowly.  But then, she thought, “Yes, I’m happy!  I feel like shouting it to the world that Eri is my girlfriend and I am hers!  I feel like I want to explode with joy!

   “That’s an improvement,” Ai said, nodding.  “I’m happy for you.”

   “Yeah…” Reina sighed.  Then she turned a little more serious.  “But what’s up with you?  You seem… preoccupied.”

   “Still sharp, even after such bliss,” Ai commented, sighing. 

   “What’s up?” the yankii questioned.

   “It’s just… I’m kind of lost…”

**  **  ** 

   “Risa-chan, did something happen?”

   “No, nothing,” Risa said, trying to conceal her lie.  “I just hung out with Sayu and Junjun for a while after the meeting today.  I’m fine.”

   “Don’t lie to me, I’m not that oblivious.”  Eri narrowed her eyes.  “Come on, tell me.”

   “The truth is…”  Risa pushed her knees up and hugged her legs.  She bit down on her lips as she thought of the minor event that happened after Eri went away with Reina.  “I think… Ai hates me.”

   “Why would you think that?” Eri asked, surprised.

   “Well,” Risa continued, “she was perfectly fine today… then suddenly, she got all frustrated and angry.  Eri, I’m scared.  She doesn’t seem like her usual self these days.”

   “I’m sure she’s just stressed,” Eri comforted.  “Don’t worry; I’m sure she still considers you a good friend.  You guys are still close.”

   “Eri,” Risa said, her voice cracking, “she called me ‘Gaki-san’ today.  She used to be comfortable with calling me Risa… but today, she went back to the formalities.”

**  **  ** 

   “I called her ‘Gaki-san’ today,” Ai sighed.  “It’s just that… I feel so distant from her somehow, you know?  I want to call her by her first name but… I don’t even know.  I feel uncomfortable.”

   “It’s like she’s too good to be true,” Reina commented.

   “Well, yeah,” Ai agreed.  “As if it’d be too selfish of me to… like her.”

   “I say just go for it,” Reina advised.  “Be selfish.  You have to work to get what you want.  Do whatever you think is right.”

   “Reina…” Ai started slowly, “if Eri told you that she hated you and never wanted to see you again, would you still stay by her?”

   “… that’s a pretty cruel question,” Reina said in a low voice.  “I think, I would still stay.  Even though I’m being selfish, I don’t think I’d be able to go a day without seeing her.  If she really does hate me that much, I’d stay in the sidelines and wait for a time when I can jump back in.”

**  **  ** 

   “I don’t know what to do anymore!” Risa cried.  Tears started to form at the corner of her eyes.  “I… I just want her to be happy!  I want to see her smile again… I need her!  I don’t want her to go away!”

   “Risa, Risa,” Eri whispered, taking her friend into a hug, “you have to calm down.”

   “How can I be calm when Ai is so angry like that?” Risa yelled, tears streaming down her cheeks.  “I… I want to be with her!  I can’t… I can’t let her leave me!”

   “Risa-chan,” Eri said in a low voice, “could it be that… you’re in love with Ai?”

   The room fell silent.  Risa stopped sobbing and broke out of Eri’s arms.  She touched her cheeks and stared down at her hands, wet with tears. 

   “... Am I?” Risa gasped.  “Is this… is this what it feels like?”

**  **  ** 

   “I’m selfish because I love her,” Ai admitted.  “I’m a terrible person.”

   “What made you get so angry anyway?” Reina asked.

   “... I guess I just felt stressed,” Ai mumbled.  “I mean, I’ve been wondering this entire time if it was okay for me to be with her.  I can stay away, even if it means hurting myself.  So the question is, will she be hurt if I stay with her?”

   “If you love her enough to even think about these questions,” Reina said, “that means you have the right to stay with her.  Now, I know there’s something you’re not telling me.  And you don’t have to.  But if you’re starting to question the rights in love… you have to go for it.  No regrets, no hesitation.”

   “I wonder…”  Sayumi’s smile immediately popped into Ai’s head.  She clenched her fists.  “If Sayumin truly loves Risa as much as I love her, then she won’t tell the truth about my identity to Risa.  Because if she cares about her, she won’t want to hurt her… no matter how cruel she may be.

**  **  ** 

   “Risa-chan, do you feel happy when she’s next to you?”

   “Yes…”

   “When she touches you?”

   “… Yes…”

   “When she smiles at you?”

   “… Yes.”

   “Then congratulations, you’re officially in love,” Eri announced, grinning.

   “… Yeah… I guess I am…” Risa could imagine holding hands with Ai, hugging her, even kissing her… The bean covered her hot cheeks with both of her hands.

   “So you’re next step,” Eri continued, “is to get intimate.”

   “Intimate?”

   “Yeah.  Flirt a little, here and there.  Flaunt your stuff.”

   “My… stuff?”  Risa raised an eyebrow.

   “Well… just be yourself, Risa-chan, and you’ll be fine,” Eri rephrased, giggling.

**  **  ** 

   “I’m going for it,” Ai decided.  “I won’t hesitate anymore.  If I let Risa get further away, I’ll never get her back.”

   “Now you’re thinking,” the yankii said, rolling her eyes.

**  **  ** 

   “I love Ai,” Risa admitted.  “And I’ll do everything I can so that she can love me back.”

wow, i can't believe i'm on the 50th chapter already. but there's still a lot more~ :twothumbs
but a question for you all: how do you get the words/status thingies on top of your avatar? :shocked

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 50

   Eri quietly shut the front door behind her and locked it.  She then skittered towards the sidewalk, where a silver sports car was waiting.

   “Reina-chan!” Eri exclaimed.

   The yankii looked up to see her new girlfriend.  She took off her sunglasses as her lips curved up a little bit.

   “Hey,” the idol greeted softly.

   The turtle ran towards her girlfriend and jumped into her arms.  They held each other like that for a while, before Reina let Eri go.

   “I came to pick you up for work,” she announced.

   “I can see that,” Eri answered, grinning.

   “Where’s Risa?” Reina asked.  “I mean, I could take her along as well… and tell her myself that I’ll… you know… take good care of you.”

   “I turned off her alarm,” Eri said proudly.  “Ai and I have a little something planned for her.”

   “Are you the reason why Ai got up so early today and went to the supermarket?” Reina questioned, narrowing her eyes.

   “Yup!” Eri exclaimed.  “It seems like Ai and Risa-chan are both on the same page.  We should help them as much as we can.”

   “They can take care of themselves,” Reina mumbled.  She leaned in to give Eri a quick peck on the cheek.  “Let’s go then.  We can hang around the DFA until the two of them get there.”

   “Okay,” Eri answered, her cheeks turning pink.  “And by the way, Risa-chan isn’t my mom so you don’t have to tell her you’ll take good care of me.”

   “Well, she isn’t exactly fond of me, though,” the yankii mumbled again.

   “You sound like a daughter-in-law,” Eri giggled.  “It’s fine.  She’s happy that I’m happy.  And now, I want to help her find her own happiness.”

**  **  ** 

    Risa groaned and rubbed her forehead as she sat up from her bed.  Her hair was knotted in various series, like a bird nest.  The bean slowly shuffled towards the bathroom and washed up.  When she came out, she checked the clock. 

   It was already eight o’clock!  She was planning to wake up at six!  There was a note next to the clock. 

   “Don’t worry about being late; enjoy breakfast and take your time,” Risa thought, reading Eri’s note.  She sighed.  Part of her wanted to just rush out of the house to the DFA… but she couldn’t deny the fact that she really was plain exhausted.

   So Risa decided to follow Eri’s advice and take her time.  Normally, she always got dressed before she went downstairs, but her stomach was impatient today so she decided to eat breakfast first.

   As Risa dragged herself to the first floor, a wonderful smell started to fill her nose.  She sniffed, and cocked her head.  Was Eri still home?  Then why leave a note? 

   The bean followed the smell into the kitchen.  There was someone cooking by the stove, wearing an apron.  Risa stood there, frozen, until the person turned around.

   “Hey,” Ai greeted, smiling.  “You’re finally up?”

   “Ai?” Risa questioned.  “Wha-what are you doing here?  And why are you cooking in my kitchen?”

   “I’m making breakfast for you,” Ai explained.  “Sit down, I’m almost done.”

   “Breakfast for me?” Risa asked, still confused.  Then it hit her.  “Did Eri put you up to this?”

   “Well, she texted me that you were… upset,” Ai admitted.  “But this was my idea; I asked her to leave the back door open.”

   The singer turned around with a plate of omelet in her hand.  She placed the dish on the counter, where Risa was sitting on the tall chair.  Ai sat herself down on the stool next to the bean.

   “You came through my back door to make breakfast for me?” Risa asked.

   “I figured we have a couple things to talk about, Risa,” Ai said.  “Look, I know I’ve been kind of angry these days.  But it’s not because of you or anything.  Now I can’t tell you the reason I was… frustrated.  But I will tell you this; I will never distance myself from you again.  I promise.”

   Risa stared into the older girl’s honest and sincere eyes.  She wasn’t mad at her.  She was going to feel better now.  She wanted to stay with her.  Just those couple statements made by Ai made Risa feel like the happiest girl in the world.

   Suddenly, the younger girl realized something.  She gasped and covered her head with her arms and turned her back to Ai.

   “Wait, don’t look at me!” the bean yelled.

   “What’s wrong?” Ai asked, confused.

   “I… I’m a mess!” Risa cried.  “My hair and my face and… I don’t want you to see me in my morning state!”

   “Oh, that’s it,” Ai laughed.  “It’s fine, Risa.  I don’t mind at all.”

   “No, I’ll go change and come back,” Risa insisted, trying to hop down from the stool.  Ai grabbed her shoulders and spun her around.  She put her hands on both side of the younger girl’s cheeks, her face only a centimeter away.

   “Risa,” Ai said, slowly, “you look fine.  So relax.  Besides, I kind of like seeing you like this.  It makes me feel like I’m getting to know everything about you.”

   “Oh…”  Risa could feel the heat rising in her face.  She took Ai’s hands and took them off her cheeks, afraid that her embarrassment and love would be exposed.  Ai grinned.

   “Now, I want you to eat,” the idol ordered.  “After that, we’ll go to DFA.  You have a song to produce with yours truly.”

   “I’m not sure if I can swallow anything,” Risa mumbled.  How can I eat anything when you’re right in front of me?  What if I look monstrous while eating?  Am I getting too self-conscious?

   “If you won’t eat by yourself,” Ai warned, taking a spoonful of omelet, “then I’m going to make you eat.”

   “No, I really don’t think I can eat,” Risa mumbled again, keeping her head down.

   Ai sighed, and lifted Risa’s chin with one hand.  Then, she gently pressed the spoon of omelet against her lips.

   “Open up,” Ai said softly.  “You don’t want to hurt my feelings, right?”

   Risa bit down on her lips, but she soon took a bite of the food.  Ai was right; Risa definitely did not want to hurt the singer’s feelings.  So the bean eventually took the spoon and ate up the entire omelet, while Ai watched with a smug smile.

   “Good?” the idol asked.

   “Chou oishii!” Risa exclaimed, smiling.

   “That’s good,” Ai laughed.  “I’m glad.  Now, go up and change.  We can go to DFA now.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 51

   Eri got out of the silver sports car in front of the DFA as Reina opened the window.

   “I’ll park and come back,” the yankii said.  “You can go in first.”

   “Okay,” the turtle replied, smiling.  She watched the car drive around the corner and turned around.  Somebody grabbed her shoulders and spun her back, startling Eri.

   “Holy— Sayu, don’t scare me like that!”

   “You seem to be happy, Eririn,” Sayumi said, smiling.  Junjun was standing behind her, expressionless. “I see you’ve made a girlfriend… am I correct?”

   “…Yeah…” Eri answered, blushing.

   “I’m so happy for you,” Sayumi gushed, embracing her cousin.  “I’m glad you found your love.”

   “Thanks, Sayu,” Eri said.

   “But where’s Risa-chan?” Sayumi asked, changing the subject.  “Isn’t she supposed to be at work with you?”

   “Well… she seemed a little tired so I turned off her alarm,” Eri explained.  “She’s probably eating breakfast now.”

   “So she’s home alone?” Sayumi questioned.  “Maybe I’ll go see her.”

   “No need,” Eri interrupted.  “Ai is with her. I told her to pick up Risa for work.”

   “Takahashi Ai-san?” Sayumi asked, her eyes widening.  “Eri… you let her stay close like that to Risa?”

   “Sure, why not?” Eri said, nonchalantly.

   “… I don’t like her being near Risa-chan,” Sayumi said in a low voice.  Her eyes turned dark as her happy mask melted away.  “I want you to keep Takahashi Ai away from her, Eri.”

   “And why would I do that?” Eri questioned, her eyes narrowing.  She could tell her cousin was starting to get angry, so she had to toughen up and get ready for the fireworks.

   “Don’t tell me you don’t know?” Sayumi growled.  “Takahashi Ai likes Risa-chan.”

   “I figured as much.”

   “You said you would help me get Risa,” Sayumi yelled.  “I thought you were on my side!”

   “I did say I would help you two get together,” Eri agreed.  “But I also said I will do whatever makes Risa happiest.”

   “Risa will be happy with me,” Sayumi argued.

   “Sayu, at the moment, I don’t know if Risa’s affection’s for Ai extends to love,” Eri contradicted.  She was definitely not going to be the one to break it to her cousin that Risa actually was in love with the leader.  “But I do know that the thing that makes Risa happy at this time is being with Ai.  And I’m doing whatever I can to support Risa’s happiness.  I don’t care who or what she needs, as long as it’s what she wants.”

   “But what about me?” Sayumi shouted.  “I loved Risa first!  What about my happiness?  You’re supposed to be helping me!”

   “If you truly love Risa,” Eri said in a low voice, “you’ll let her have what she wants.”

   Sayumi stared at her determined cousin with a shocked expression.  Her body shook with anger as she took a step back.  She almost slipped and fell, but Junjun managed to hold her up just in time. 

   “Shige-san!” Junjun yelled, supporting the young girl.  “Are you okay?”

   “How could you…?” Sayumi breathed, gritting her teeth.  “Eri… you…”

   At that moment, Reina came back and touched Eri on the shoulders.

   “What’s going on?” the yankii questioned, her expression serious.  She looked at Sayumi, who seemed to be lost in her own thoughts.  She glared at the Chinese girl behind the bunny, who was staring back without fear.

   “Nothing,” Eri said in a low voice.  “Let’s go in.  Hurry.”

   Eri grabbed hold of Reina’s hand and dragged her inside the DFA building.  Sayumi huffed angrily.

   “So she turns her back on me like that…” Sayumi mumbled to herself.  “I should’ve known.”

   “Shige-san…” Junjun started, concerned.

   “Junjun,” Sayumi interrupted, turning around to touch the pianist’s face.  “You’ll continue to help me, right?  You care about my happiness, right?”

   “Of course, Shige-san,” Junjun answered, trying to hide the pain in her voice.  “I’d do anything for you.”

   “Thank you,” Sayumi sighed, hugging the panda.  “I know I can trust you.”

   “Sweet yet so cruel,” Junjun thought.  “She is asking me, who loves her so much, to help her in finding happiness with a different girl… I’ve never felt my chest hurt like this before.  Will this pain ever go away…?

   “Junjun will do whatever I tell her to do,” Sayumi thought, narrowing her eyes.  “I don’t need Eri.  I can get Risa by myself anyway.  I should step things up a bit…

@badsaints: I'll probably keep the TanaKame relationship happy... but necessarily the people. :panic: and yes, TakaGaki will never seperate XD

@kurosawa87: oh boy, Jun's got a dilemma. It's more like a life-choice... kind of :nervous

@lonewind: TanaKame fan? then you'll like this chapter... :twisted:

@oddball: yeah, Jun's got it hard :cry: and who says Ai is a girl in Risa's past? :D

@rndmnwierd: yeah, she's really *ahem* psychotic.. :shocked

@kawaii beam: oh yeah, Sayu's evilness shall continue though... that way, my story will flow XD


So this next thing was supposed to be two chapters, but I ended up writing and writing... yeah XD
So here's a super long chapter with TakaGaki AND TanaKame :twothumbs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 52

   The door clicked open as Risa walked into the recording studio with Ai trailing behind her.  Eri and Reina looked up from the sofa to greet their friends.

   “Finally,” Reina grumbled.  “We really can’t do anything without you, Gaki.”

   “Sorry,” Risa apologized.  “But it was Kameha who turned my alarm off.  Did you two wait long?”

   “No, we just got here too,” Eri answered, smiling in reassurance.  “We ran into some… complications.”

   Risa just shrugged it off and darted straight for the chair by the sound panel.  Ai raised an eyebrow at her partner, but Reina puffed up her cheeks in frustration, for she didn’t know exactly what went on between her girlfriend and that annoying cousin of hers either.

   “If you guys want,” Risa started, “you can all leave.  I don’t think there’s anything I need help with… so I’ll just stay here and work.”

   “Are you sure?” Eri asked.

   “Positive, go hang out or something,” Risa said monotonously.  She was already busily working with the sound panel, with her headphones pressed against her ears.

   “Come on,” Reina whispered, taking Eri’s hand and helping her up.  “Let’s get some air.”

   As the two lovebirds walked out of the small studio, Ai winked at them and held up her index finger to her lips, indicating that she would stay with Risa.  Eri grinned while Reina rolled her eyes.

   As soon as the door clicked shut, the High-Queen leader walked over to Risa’s chair and placed her chin against the bean’s head.  The younger girl jumped a little from the sudden contact, but soon went back to tweaking around with the sound switches.

   “You don’t need to stick around, Ai,” Risa said, trying to keep her voice calm and even.  “I can handle everything here.”

   “But I want to stay here with you,” Ai laughed softly.  She slowly wrapped her arms Risa’s shoulders.  “Besides, there’s no way I’m leaving you here alone so you can work yourself to death.”

   “Um… okay then,” Risa mumbled.  She could feel the warmth of Ai’s arms, wrapped around her.  She tried to concentrate on the work at hand, but everything seemed boring now.  All her attention was now focused on the girl behind her, leaning on her head.

   “Don’t mind me,” Ai said, noticing how Risa’s hands were suspended in air, not knowing what to do.  “You can continue to work.  I can’t wait to hear the instrumental.”

   “Oh, yeah, um, definitely.”

   The bean sighed and tried to calm down.  She then tweaked around with a couple of sound effects and entered the music notes into the computer.  She pressed play but no sound came out.

   “Ai, I think I’m going deaf,” Risa said out loud, unconsciously.

   “What?” Ai questioned, confused.

   “Uh, I mean… my headphone isn’t picking up any sound…”  Deaf? Damn, I sound so stupid right now!

   “Oh, I see,” Ai said, smiling.  She released Risa from her embrace and crouched down next to the chair.  She fiddled with some of the machinery underneath sound panel and stood back up again.  “You should be able to hear now.”

   Risa clicked play and the booming of the music burst through the headphones. 

   “How did you do that?” Risa asked, in awe.

   “Your headset wasn’t plugged in,” Ai answered, smirking.

   “… Oh.”  Wow, I just get stupider by the minute, don’t I?

   “You have the first measure done already, right?” Ai asked.  “Can I listen?”

   “Yeah, sure… it’s not much, but—”

   Before Risa could take off her headphones and hand it to the singer, Ai touched her ears to the outside of the bean’s headset.  Their cheeks were almost touching as Risa heard the rhythm of Ai’s breathing.

   “You have to click play, Risa,” Ai giggled.

   “Oh, right!” Okay, this is just ridiculous.  I can’t be this stupid.  Get it together, Risa!

   As the younger girl clicked the play button, the loud boom of the instrumental hit both of their ears.  Ai kept her face close to Risa’s.  Even after the short measure was over, Ai didn’t bother to back away.  Instead, the leader just turned immediately to face Risa, allowing their noses to almost touch.

   “That sounds good,” Ai said softly.  “I like it.”

   “Thanks,” Risa mumbled.  She could feel the heat rising up from her neck, to her cheeks, to her forehead.

   “Risa, are you feeling okay?” Ai questioned.  “You look a little red there.”

   “I’m fine!” the bean blurted out.  “I mean, it’s just a little hot in here.”

   “But the air conditioner is on the highest level...”

   “Oh. Right.”  Okay, I think I’m officially the biggest baka in Japan.

   Risa sighed and turned back towards the sound panel, trying to hide her red face.  Ai crossed behind the chair and placed her chin against the bean’s head again.  In Risa’s oblivion, the leader slowly smiled, satisfied by the way Risa was starting to react towards her.

**  **  ** 

   “Eri, can’t we just stop?”

   “It won’t hurt, I promise.”

   “Okay, please be gentle.”

   “Here I go…”

   “Ouch!”

   Reina clamped her hands over her forehead where a red mark was starting to appear.  Eri started to laugh hysterically.  The two girls were sitting together on the rooftop of DFA, playing jankenpyon.  Eri had continuously won, which allowed her to flick her finger on Reina’s forehead as a punishment.

   The idol had tried to get something out of her girlfriend, but Eri kept on avoiding the question at hand.  Seeing that the turtle sincerely didn’t want to talk about it, Reina finally let it go.

   “You said it wouldn’t hurt!” the yankii yelled, rubbing the place where her girlfriend had just snapped her finger on.

   “I thought it wouldn’t,” Eri answered innocently.  “Did it hurt a lot?  My bad… But it is a punishment, after all.”

   “I’m not playing anymore,” Reina huffed, crossing her arms. 

   “Wimp,” Eri teased, sticking out her tongue.  “We’ll go back down to the studio, then.  It’s getting chilly out here anyway.”

   The turtle started to walk back towards the elevator with the yankii trailing behind.  When the elevator door closed, Reina clenched her fists and turned to face her girlfriend.

   “One more time!” she challenged.  “I’ll definitely win this time.”

   “Fine then,” Eri sneered.  “But you won’t win.”

   “Oh, we’ll see about that,” Reina grumbled, pulling her right arm behind her back.  “Ready… Jankenpyon!”

   Reina’s hand was in a V-sign while Eri’s hand was completely open; a scissor and a paper.

   “Yes!” Reina yelled.  “Sweet victory!”

   “I don’t like the look of this,” Eri mumbled, her lips curving down.

   “Hold out her head,” Reina ordered, smirking.  She started to practice flicking her fingers.  Eri took a deep breath, shut her eyes, and stuck out her head.  She braced herself for the sharp sting in her forehead.

   But instead of the pain, there was only warmth… on her lips.  Eri opened her eyes just enough to see Reina, moving her lips slowly and gently against her own lips.  The older girl obliged to her girlfriend’s action. 

   Reina finally back away an inch to look at Eri’s pink, blushing face.  After catching sight of her dark eyes, the yankii immediately leaned forward again to kiss the older girl. 

   This time, the kiss was rougher.  Reina continuously moved her lips over Eri’s as she pushed her against the wall.  Their elevator had started from the top of the building; it was a long way to the 4th floor.

   When Eri’s lips parted so that she could breathe, Reina instantly took the chance and put her tongue to use.  As she explored inside her girlfriend’s mouth, the yankii slipped her hand up Eri’s shirt to stroke her smooth back.  Eri let out a moan as Reina’s hand traveled up higher and higher up her sensitive back. 

   The yankii broke away from the sweet lips and started to kiss Eri’s neck instead.  The older girl wound her arms tightly around Reina’s neck as she breathed heavily.  The hand that was originally stroking her back moved towards the front of her body.  Reina gently cupped her hand over Eri’s breast, releasing a moan from her.  But the older girl’s deep sighs turned into a sharp whimper as Reina squeezed her perfect mound.  The yankii seemed to come back down to earth as she took a quick step back with a surprised expression.

   “I… I’m sorry,” Reina pleaded.  “I went too far, I didn’t mean to.  Please don’t be scared.”

   “Why would I be scared?” Eri asked, confused.

   “You’re not… afraid that I might… do something?” Reina questioned.

   “No, why should I?” the turtle laughed.  “You’re my girlfriend.  And I love you.  I mean, I don’t think I’m ready for… that yet.  But I still want you to touch me.  Sometimes.”

   “Oh,” Reina sighed, relieved.  “Well, I promise I won’t go beyond what you want me to do.”

   “Thanks,” Eri grinned.  The elevator bell finally dinged, and the two girls walked out holding hands.

   “I’m scared to go that far yet,” Eri thought.  “But if it’s Reina…

I really love your writing style! TAKAGAKI FTW~ I've actually been following your fic since the beginning... and since I have no life, I camp out here and refresh this thread like every hour... XD but that just shows how awesome your fic is~

Ch.48 - Aww, this chapter is sooo cute~ :wub: I've always wanted to say this, but yeahh... I love your characterization of Reina! The way you write her is just so awesome that I've bumped her up in my personal rankings, despite the fact that I'm not quite too fond of her in reality. :P  You made her character is quite lovable~ props to you~

Ch.49 - Soo touching~ I love how you captured all the right emotions, hehe. The last line= :wub:

Ch.50 - w00t~ takagaki=uber kawaii~ Wait, noo, does making the story go a little faster equate to it ending sooner!?!? What will I do with the rest of my summer time if this ends!? :banghead:
Ch.51 - evil Sayu... and a very selfless Junjun... not a good combo for our dear takagaki
Ch.52 - aww, I can totally imagine Risa getting all embarrassed. Woah, hot Tanakame! This chapter is epic win :cow:

@kawaii beam: oh, Risa gets more and more "all over the place"... and whose fault could that be? XD

@kurosawa87: might?  they WILL get beyond the kissing stage... some day :twisted:

@Swtme03: oh yeah, it'll probably be the leader's favorite activity now :D

@Ada: TakaGaki sweetness will continue a little longer :)  as for TanaKame... well, we'll see :twisted:

@rndmnwierd: yes, Reina is "passionate" about Eri  XD  we'll see about TakaGaki.  i got the story laid out, but i actually don't know how their characters are going to change/not change.  still gotta flesh out the details :yep:

@oddball: yup, Eri doesn't mind TOO much, as long as Reina keeps a limit. something like that XD

@lonewind: i love jankenpyon! the song and the game, so i threw that in XD yeh~ TakaGaki is so cute :wub:

@xanimefreak13x: *WOOT* :cow:VICTORY~! :twothumbs aww~ that's so sweet! :wub:  and don't worry about the rambling, I REALLY LOVE long comments, so it's DEFINITELY a okay XD


Today, I am happy, because I pulled out another lurker!  :D^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 53

   “You girls all ready?” Tsunku asked.  Both High-Queen members gave a thumbs-up from the recording booth.

   Risa, being the workaholic that she was, had managed to finish the instrumental within five days time when she had two weeks to work on it.  She could’ve finished it in two days but Ai made sure daily that the bean was getting enough food, sleep, and air.  So by the third day, it wasn’t so strange that Ai was in Risa’s kitchen making breakfast while Eri left early with Reina.

   Today was the day High-Queen would start recording “Cinderella Complex”.  After the recording session, the two idols would immediately start learning the choreography that their dance trainer had come up with.

   “Alright,” Risa said.  “Here we go!”

   The loud boom of the music burst through the recording studio.  Eri stood next to her friend, bobbing her head up and down to the beat.  Tsunku crossed his arm and closed his eyes, listening seriously.  Risa turned on the switches for Ai and Reina’s mic.

   Ai started to sing first as Reina overlapped her voice with a small rap part.  After one verse, the two girls switched parts.  Then, Ai’s main vocal flowed into the room, backed up with a pre-inserted harmony part.  She looked up and met eyes with her composer, taking the bean by surprise.

He and everyone else
Looks cute
I think his long-legged girlfriend
Is sneaky

   “She’s looking at me with those eyes…” Risa thought.  “They’re dark and serious… I want to look away but I can’t!

   Reina’s voice followed up right after the leader’s. 

Even if I’m in love
I’m still timid
If I sulk like her
It just looks like I’m being selfish

   “Wow, she’s so serious when she sings…” Eri thought.  “I guess that’s another part that attracts me to her… she takes important things seriously…

   The two girls started to sing the pre-chorus back and forth.

The story that my mother
Read to me as a child
Will make my dreams
Come true some day…

   Finally, both High-Queen members started to sing the chorus together.  Reina looked up, met her girlfriend’s eyes, and smirked.

Lonely, lonely, lonely
Give me love, give me love, give me
Time is passing purely
Cinderella Complex

   “Is she teasing me?” Eri thought, blushing.  “Just because I’m not ready for that yet… she’s implying that she’s waiting for me.

   Ai finally managed to make eye contact with Risa.  But the leader did not smile.  Her face was completely serious… but not expressionless.  Ai’s facial features distorted as she made an expression of pain and sadness.

Baby, baby, baby
My dreams will ice over
Someone please come for me
I’m being such a good girl

   “Why is she looking at me like that?” Risa thought, slightly panicking.  “Why is she making that face?  I don’t want her to be sad… what can I do?

   High-Queen continued to sing through the whole song, until they ended with another sequence of “Na na na”s and “Give me love”s. 

   During the entire recording, Ai didn’t take her eyes off of Risa.  The bean constantly blushed and tried to turn away, but she always somehow looked up again, only to meet the leader’s dark eyes.  Then she would try to look away again, and the cycle continued.

   “What is she trying to tell me?” Risa thought.  “I’ve never seen her expression so… desperate.  Ai’s not usually like that… what can I do?

   On the other hand, Reina had met Eri’s eyes whenever she had a solo line, and had kept on smirking.  Whenever the yankii sang a line, such as “Even though I believe, where are you?  Midnight will come and go”, she sang to her girlfriend with over exaggerated facial expressions.  Eri would glare and puff up her cheeks.

   “She’s definitely making fun of me,” Eri thought angrily.  “She just sang through the entire song with sarcasm!”

   “That was pretty good, girls,” Tsunku said, opening his eyes.  “Take five, then get a couple more trials in.”

   As Tsunku left the studio while dialing on his cell phone, Ai and Reina shifted out of the recording booth.  Reina had a smug smile on.

   “Hey baby,” the yankii greeted, opening her arms to hug her girlfriend.  But Eri pushed her away.

   “Don’t ‘hey baby’ me,” Eri growled.  “You said you would wait; you don’t have to make fun of me like that.”

   “What did I do?” Reina gasped, opening her eyes wide with obvious sarcasm.  “I would never do anything to hurt you, Eri.”

   “Oh, shut it,” Eri grumbled, turning her back to the yankii.  She crossed her arms and blew up her cheeks.  “I know you’re in… a rush, but you didn’t have to make me feel guilty like that.”

   “Okay, okay,” Reina laughed.  She wrapped her arms around the turtle’s waist.  “I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to make you feel guilty or anything.  I was just teasing so don’t think too much about it.  Please forgive me?”

   “… Maybe,” Eri said.  “Will you take me out to dinner tonight?”

   “Anywhere you want,” Reina answered.

   “You’re forgiven,” Eri grinned.  She turned around and hugged her girlfriend back.

   The truth was, Eri was glad that Reina teased her like that.  It meant that she was getting more comfortable with her.  The yankii was starting to break out of her hard shell.  Reina herself was surprised that she could smile and joke around like this again, in front of Eri.

   Meanwhile, Ai had plopped down on the couch while grabbing a water bottle from the side table.  As she took a drink, Risa took slow baby-steps towards the leader and stood in front of her.

   “Ai,” the younger girl started hesitantly, “that was, um, a good session.”

   “Arigatou,” Ai answered, smiling.  “I see you just couldn’t take your eyes off me.”

   “What?” Risa shrilled.  “That’s not true.”  She could feel her cheeks starting to get warmer.

   “Yes, you were.” 

   “No, I wasn’t!”

   Then, Ai suddenly grabbed Risa’s arms and pulled her down towards the couch until their faces were only a centimeter apart. 

   “Yes, you were,” Ai whispered, smiling.  “I must’ve been pretty convincing; were you seduced by me?”

   “Y-you wish!” Risa yelled, pulling away from the singer. 

   “You’re right; I do wish.  I wonder how I can seduce you better…”  The leader observed the younger girl’s eyes pop out in shock, and laughed.  “Just kidding.  You don’t need to be so surprised.”

   “Oh… right… kidding… ha-ha…” Risa said weakly.

   At that moment, the door of the studio burst open and Tsunku strutted in.

   “Okay girls,” the producer announced.  “That was five minutes.  Back to work!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I got lazy with the Song-to-thoughts sequence up there  :on_plug:
but Cinderella Complex doesn't have too many different lyrics in the first place, they always repeat, you kno? :cool2:
anyways, hope you guys enjoyed :byebye:

I love all the teasing going on, as I'm sure has been said a million times by now, but bares repeating. I'm so digging how the relationships are developing here, with the pervy Reina and innocent Eri and Risa and Ai in their own little world.

Chapter 54

   Risa walked up towards her house, ruffling her hair restlessly.  High-Queen had to attend the dance practice for “Cinderella Complex” right after the recording session was over.  Eri had decided to wait for Reina so she could go eat dinner with her.  In the end, the bean had to walk home alone.

   Risa opened her front door before realizing that it shouldn’t have opened.  She was sure that she locked the door before leaving for work…

   There was a loud noise of the TV in the living room.  Risa quietly took off her shoes and tip-toed over to her left, and slowly peeked into the room.

   “BOO!”

   “GAH!”

   The bean blinked furiously as she assessed the person in front of her.  She had long black hair and was wearing a pink cashmere sweater on top of a white one-piece dress.  The girl started to laugh.

   “Sayu!” Risa exclaimed.  “What are you doing in my house?  How did you get in here?”

   “You really should conceal your spare key in a more secretive place,” Sayumi giggled.  “Hiding it under a flower pot is such an old method.”

   “Man, you scared the hell out of me!” Risa laughed.  “What brings you here today?  And where’s Junjun?”

   “I guess I just wanted to see your face,” Sayumi said sweetly.  “Junjun went home early.  Where’s Eririn?”

   “On a date,” Risa grinned as she sat down on the couch.  “She ditched me.”

   “So she’s spending a lot of time with that hoodlum girl,” Sayumi thought, her eyes getting dark for a second.  “I guess I should let her have that happiness.  If she won’t help me, I’d rather have her not butt into my business.

   “So you took the liberty of using my kitchen and watching my movies?” Risa questioned, eyeing the big plate of spaghetti on the coffee table and the chick flick on the screen.

   “I was hungry,” Sayumi pouted, cuddling up next to her friend.  “And the spaghetti is for you too.  I can’t eat all this.  Besides, they’re all carbs.”

   “But you love spaghetti,” Risa teased.  “I’m sure you can eat it all up.”

   “Mou~ Risa-chan!” the bunny whined as the older girl laughed.  Sayumi liked this atmosphere.  She liked it when Risa teased her, and babied her.  She felt special.

   “I guess I should thank you, though,” Risa grinned.  “I was pretty hungry.”  She picked up a fork on the table and clapped her hands together.  “Itadakimasu!”

   The two girls dug into the plate of spaghetti while watching the chick flick.  Risa was pretty indulged in the film while Sayumi occasionally peeked sideways at the bean, and blushed.

   By the time the movie was over, the plate of food was empty.  Risa lifted her arms and stretched.  As she settled back into the couch comfortably, Sayumi leaned her head against the elder girl’s shoulders. 

   “Nee, Risa-chan,” the bunny started.

   “Mm?” the bean answered.

   “… I love you,” the younger girl confessed.

   “I know,” the older girl chuckled.

   “No, I really love you.”

   “I know, I love you too.”  Risa wrapped her arms around the seemingly frail girl and embraced her into a tight hug.  “You’re so cute, Sayu!  You can be bratty at times, but I’m glad you’re my friend.”

   “Why can’t I get my feelings across?” Sayumi thought, frustrated.  “How can I let her know that I’m serious?

   “I’m sorry I can’t always hang out with you,” Risa apologized.  “My work requires a lot of attention.  That’s why Eri and I are pretty grateful towards Junjun.  She’s a good person.”

   “Yeah, she’s great,” Sayumi mumbled, puffing up her cheeks.

   “And if I may say so,” Risa whispered, smiling, “I think that girl really loves you.”

   “Oh so now she understands the term ‘really love’,” the younger girl thought, rolling her eyes.  “I don’t think so.”

   “Well, I do.  And I think Eri agrees with me.”

   “I never thought of her that way,” Sayumi said nonchalantly.  “Of course I know she loves me; it’s so obvious.  She’s a stupid girl; she knows I’ll never love her back yet she always obeys me.  It’s pathetic.  It doesn’t matter whether she loves me or not… all that matters is that I love you and you should realize I’m the one for you.  But how…?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So this should've brought the slightly serious mood back into the story.   :)
Here's the advice: NEVER FORGET THE EVIL SAYU. :shocked

Is Gaki actually that oblivious, or she is trying to suggest to Sayu indirectly that she will only be her friend? oxo
so what's next?  :w00t: tanakame dinner?  :wub:

I guess it's understandable that Risa doesn't understand Sayu's feelings(obsession), afterall, it's seems that the one that love is directed towards is always oblivious to it. If Sayu really wanted to get her point across(in a less evil way) she would probably have to kiss her. And that really probably wouldn't go well... In a way, Sayu has no other choice but to be evil. Kinda sad really.

*GASP!!!*  :mon wtf:
Don't give her ideas!!!  :bleed eyes:

I kinda felt bad for Sayu in this chapter. Trying to confess her love, but not able to get her point across...must be hard  :cry:
But I guess that's what she gets for treating Jun Jun that way while knowing how she feels about her  :yep:

Keep it up!!  :thumbsup
I'm totally obsessing over your fic ATM  :nervous
Everyday before and after and sometimes during... work I'm constantly checking to see if you update  :sweatdrop:
You got me sprung~!!   :love:

^ Well, I could have suggested that Sayu kidnap Risa, tie her to a bed and do naughty things to her to get her point across, at least until Ai and Eri come to the rescue, but I didn't suggest something evil like that, now did I? :roll: :lol:

I do feel a bit sorry for Sayu in this chapter, she really just wants to get her fellings across to Risa but Risa dosn't seem to get it!

The way she treats Jun is wrong however, she knows that Jun loves her and dosn't care about using her feelings to get her own way, its pure evil!  :cry:

So Risa and Eri want Jun and Sayu to get togehter? I must admit I appreciate the Irony, I just hope someone like Ai can rescue Jun before its to late for her!

@kurosawa87: hmm... maybe... i'm thinking about that :twisted:

@Ada: I wouldn't say Gaki's oblivious.  She's just never thought of "cute, sweet, little Sayu" as more than a sister-figure, you know? :smhid

@rnmdnwierd: you're kinda right. Sayu's logic is just all wrong: she doesn't understand how Risa couldn't have fallen for her as much as she's fallen for the bean for the past, i dunno, 10 years. it is sad... :(

@Swtme03: Oh, she's already given me some ideas...  :twisted:  and i usually update around this time, so you can check then XD

@rnmdnwierd (again): oh you just inspire me so much.. :twisted: but the fact is, i'm such a big TakaGaki fan that I don't think I could bare to write about either of them being with anyone else, so SayuGaki won't be TOO overboard :D

@aussie: yeah, a lesson on REALITY 8)

@kawaii beam: rndy's imagination is WILD :twisted: and Sayu's double-personality is what makes her scarier than an average antagonist :shocked

@oddball: Yeah, Sayu's logic is just all wrong. In her mind, there's nobody else for her besides Risa, and vice versa (and that's where she's wrong). and I'd say Jun is the most tragic character in this story... ironic, considering i love her XD


My goodness, check out all these comments.  XD
You guys are REALLy getting into this... (i'm talking to you, rndy) :twisted:

Here's a SUPER long chapter for all you TanaKame AND TakaGaki fans~  :wub:
Personally, I love how this chapter turned out. I didn't plan on adding the TakaGaki section but I decided to cuz I feel like this fic is getting deprived of that :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 55

   “Okay, let’s run it one more time,” Ai suggested.

   “Fine,” Reina sighed.  “But we’re going to stop before I get bored of this routine, okay?”

   The two High-Queen members high-fived each other as the leader walked past her partner to turn on the music again.  Risa was sitting on the floor with her back against the wall opposite of the mirrors that the idols were facing.  She had been watching them practice their choreography in the dance studio since noon. 

   Before Ai could kick the boom box to life, Eri stumbled into the dance studio, squealing.

   “It’s done!  It’s done!” the turtle cried, jumping up and down.

   “The costume?” Risa guessed.

   “Yes!” Eri squeaked in her high-pitched voice, hyperventilating.  “I think… I think it’s great!”

   The young fashion designer had been working on High-Queen’s outfits for “Cinderella Complex” the entire morning.  Apparently, she was finished with the final sketches.

   “Okay, calm down,” Reina laughed.  “Let’s see it then.”

   Eri skipped over to the middle of the room towards her girlfriend, as Ai and Risa both walked over to them.  She held out her sketchbook proudly.

   On the page were two human figures drawn.  The figure on the left had a black hat on along with a big, red shirt.  There was a black skirt drawn in with a black belt, a couple necklace chains, and black heels.  The figure on the right had her hair drawn into two small ponytails.  It had on a black necklace with lots of bracelets; other than that, the two figures were pretty much wearing the same outfit.

   “I like it,” Ai commented.  “The red-and-black combo is a good choice; it’s powerful.”

   “Yeah, I like it too,” Reina said, smiling a little.  “It’s nice.”

   “It is, isn’t it?” Eri blabbered on excitedly.  “At first, I thought maybe all red would be nice but then, I decided to go more for a realistic fashion then a costume-look so I made the skirts black. And then—”

   “That’s great, Eri,” Ai interrupted.  She took a couple steps out of small huddle.  “Reina, come over here for a moment.  I need to tell you something.”

   “What?” Reina asked, irritated.  She enjoyed listening to her girlfriend rant, even though half of it was incomprehensible.

   “I figured out a way for you not get bored about our routine,” Ai said, smirking. 

   The yankii raised an eyebrow, then walked over to her leader.  Ai whispered something in her ear as Reina’s lips curved into a big smile.

   “You up for it?” the leader questioned.

   The yankii nodded.  “I’ll do it.  It sounds like fun.  I’ll enjoy seeing her face…”

   The two idols smirked and high-fived each other again.  Risa raised an eyebrow while Eri cocked her head to the side in confusion.

   “Baby,” Reina called, gesturing to her girlfriend, “come here for a moment.”

   “Why?” Eri asked as she walked over to the middle of the dance floor.

   “Just stand right here,” Reina ordered.  She nodded to her leader, and Ai kicked the boom box alive.

   The song started from the last chorus.  Reina started to do her routine right next to Eri.  Risa skittered over to Ai and whispered to her.

   “What are you two planning?” Risa asked.  “What is she trying to do to Kameha?”

   “Just watch,” Ai chuckled.  “It should be pretty interesting.”

   The song turned into the final verses after the last chorus was over.  As soon as the “na na na”s started, Reina broke out of the usual dance routine and started to approach Eri with a seductive expression.  Eri watched her girlfriend with wide eyes as the catty idol did waves around the turtle, trying to be as sexy as possible. 

   “Reina,” Eri stammered.  “I, uh… um… I don’t think… um…”

   But Reina ignored Eri’s words and continued to dance around her.  She pressed her body against the turtle’s back and did a wave, causing Eri to stiffen up.  The older girl was clutching her sketchbook to her chest, blushing bright red.  Reina swung around to face Eri, and caressed her cheeks lightly before whipping around in a quick turn again.  Her face felt hot, as though she had a severe case of fever. 

   “Nee, Reina-chan… um… I… just, uh…” Eri stuttered, trying to cover her face with her hair.

   “Aw, she’s so cute!” Ai commented, laughing hysterically.  “Look at her blushing!”

   “I’m more surprised by the fact that Reina let you put her up to this,” Risa said, her eyes wide.

   “Well, she just wanted to see her girlfriend’s cute reaction,” Ai explained, giggling.

   The yankii pressed her own back to Eri’s chest, reached her arms back to wrap them around the turtle’s neck, and slowly slid down into a crouch.  Eri let out a sharp gasp as she blushed even more, if that was possible.  Reina then slithered back up again while she let her hand travel up Eri’s smooth leg to her hips.  Eri let out a small squeal, shocked from her girlfriend’s ticklish touch. 

   “Reina-chan, I—”

   Before Eri could finish what she was about to say, the yankii kissed the older girl on the lips at the song’s last beat, and took a couple steps back. 
The turtle’s entire face was red with embarrassment as she dropped her sketchbook and covered both of her cheeks with her hands.  Ai’s laughter got even louder while Reina didn’t hold back on the giggling either.  Risa exhaled sharply at how easily Reina controlled Eri’s emotions, and started laughing as well.

   “It’s not funny!” Eri yelled, picking up her sketchbook and hugging it to her chest.  “Reina-chan, that… that was…”

   “Exciting?  Sexy?  Seductive?” the yankii suggested.  The turtle puffed up her cheeks and slapped her girlfriend on her arm. 

   “Don’t make fun of me,” Eri grumbled.

   “I’m just teasing, baby,” Reina laughed, taking her girlfriend into hug.  “Besides, Ai put me up to it.”

   “You were the one who was getting bored of the original choreography,” the leader argued.  “It was merely a suggestion but you decided to take on the challenge.”

   “Yeah, yeah, it’s all my fault,” Reina rolled her eyes. 

   “No, Ai was just getting too smart,” Risa said, narrowing her eyes.

   “It’s okay, I’m already the bad guy here,” Reina chuckled.

   “Yeah, Reina’s the yankii,” Ai giggled.  “Besides, I think Eri enjoyed it.”

   “Did not!” Eri yelled.  She almost looked like she was down with a bad cold.

   “Okay, we’re going to leave before my girl explodes from all your teasing,” the yankii said, pointing at her leader.  “Do you mind locking up?”

   “Not at all,” Ai said.  “You guys can go ahead.”

   The two lovebirds walked out of the dance studio; Reina tried to wrap her arm around the turtle’s shoulder, chuckling, while Eri kept on taking the yankii’s hand and dropping it down, grumbling to herself.

   “Are you going to stick around with me, Risa?” Ai asked.

   “Yeah, I have time,” the bean replied.  “Your joke was pretty over-the-top for Kameha, but it was pretty funny, I’ll give you that.”

   “I try,” Ai said, flipping her hair in an exaggerated way.  “But Eri liked it, I know she did.”

   “She seemed… happy in her own way…” Risa said slowly.

   “You wanna try?”

   “Sure— wait, what?”

   Without another word, Ai kicked the boom box alive again.  The song started from the same place as the previous time: the last chorus. 

   “Woah, woah, woah,” Risa said, slowly backing away from the smiling idol.  “Wait a minute, wait a minute, Ai!”  If you dance like that towards me, what the hell am I supposed to do?  It’s like candy right in front of you, but you can’t take it!

   But Ai just smirked and placed her hand on Risa’s shoulder, causing the bean to freeze in place.  She ran her hand over her collar bone as she walked in a circle around the younger girl.  She took her hand and placed it on her own face before she slid down into a crouch. 

   Risa covered her cheek with her free hand: it was burning up.  Ai sprung up again and did a side wave with her back to Risa’s chest.  But she could still see the bean’s blushing face through the mirrors. 

   The “na na na”s started again, and Ai started to briskly walk around the flustered girl, letting her hand slip from one body part to another.  She played with Risa’s hair, then her fingers, then her shoulder, then her neckline.  Risa could feel her skin burn anywhere and everywhere that Ai touched.  The song started to near its end.

   “Wait a minute…” Risa thought.  “The finale of Reina’s dance was…

   On the last beat, Ai shot her head forward and stopped right in front of Risa’s face, their lips only half an inch away.  They’re eyes met: Risa could see the darkness and sincerity in the older girl’s eyes… what did it mean?

   “She won’t… will she?

   Ai stared at the younger girl for a little longer, then smiled sadly.  She craned her neck and placed her lips on Risa’s forehead, and kept it there.  The younger girl closed her eyes as she felt her forehead burn.

   After what seemed like a couple milliseconds, when in reality it was a little more than that, Ai slowly backed away.  She looked at Risa’s flustered face.  The bean looked away, biting down on her lips.

   “I won’t apologize,” Ai said in a low voice.  “I’m not sorry at all.”

   “… You don’t need to be,” Risa whispered back.

   “That’s good,” Ai grinned.  “Because I don’t feel like I did anything wrong.”

   “You didn’t,” Risa whispered again.  “It’s perfectly… fine.”

   Ai smiled again, which allowed the bean to smile back.  The leader gently placed her hand on Risa’s shoulder.

   “We better go now,” she said.  “I have to close up here.  You can go wait by the elevator, if you’d like.”

   “Okay,” Risa replied. 

   She turned around and walked out of the studio.  She pressed the button of the elevator, which started to move from the first floor.  She touched her forehead and sighed.

   “I can still feel her warmth,” Risa thought.  “I… I think I love her more than I thought I did.  But… how does Ai feel about me?

   Meanwhile, the High-Queen leader unplugged the boom box and gathered her sweater.

   “I’m sorry, Sayumin,” Ai thought.  “But I don’t think I’ll be able to keep my promise with you.  I need Risa more than I thought I did… and I don’t plan on waiting any longer.

@kawaii beam: what was that, some funky gibberish language? XD and I CAN stop there.  Yes, yes I can :twisted:


yeah, i kno there's only one comment...  :nervous
but this next chapter was so short that I decided to update again  :D

So all of you guys who didn't catch the last chapter, read that first (which is two posts ago) and then read this one! :twothumbs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 56

   “Hurry, Ai, the elevator is almost here!”

   “I’m coming!”

   The idol dashed out of the studio, locked it, and ran down the hallway.  Risa was waiting in front of the elevator.  The floor count was up to the 8th floor, and then the 9th.

   “I made it just in time, huh?” the leader huffed.

   “Yup,” Risa laughed.  “And I don’t think either of us wants to walk down all those flights of stairs.”

   At that moment, the elevator dinged and the door slid open.  The two girls were about to walk in, but they stopped themselves.  Risa’s mouth dropped open with a pop and Ai let out a long whistle.

   In the elevator were the yankii and the turtle in a hot make-out session.  Ai and Risa could only see Reina’s back because she had Eri pushed against the wall, but they could still tell what was going on.  The two girls were kissing each other passionately and moaning into each other’s mouths; the older girl’s arms were wrapped around her girlfriend’s neck while the younger girl was running her hand from Eri’s back, to her waist, to her stomach, and to her chest.

   Risa cleared her throat once.  The couple didn’t seem to notice.  The bean cleared her throat again but it still had no effect.  Finally, Ai put her fingers in her mouth and whistled loudly, causing the two girls to jump apart from each other.

   Reina turned around and scratched her head while smacking her lips awkwardly.  Eri put her arms around herself in an attempt to cover up her ruffled, half-unbuttoned clothes.  She had pink marks on her neck.

   “Guys…” Ai started, “this is hardly the place.”

   “I disagree,” Reina mumbled.

   “Actually, this is where we first kissed…” Eri whispered hesitantly.

   “Remember how I said I didn’t want to walk down the stairs, Ai?” Risa asked, her eyes still wide in shock.  “Well, I do now!”

   With that, the bean exhaled sharply again, and briskly walked away from the elevator towards the stairs.  Ai turned to follow her, paused, then faced the two lovebirds again.  She grabbed both of their arms and pulled them out of the elevator.

   “Nee, I have a favor to ask the two of you,” Ai said.

   “If it’s something about us making out—” Reina started.

   “No, it’s not,” Ai said, shaking her head while rubbing her head.  “It’s more of a question for Eri, so be quiet for a while, Reina.  My head hurts.”

   “What’s the favor, Ai?” Eri asked, running her fingers through her disorganized hair.

   “So… Risa’s birthday is coming… right?” Ai slowly said.

   “Yeah, it’s October 20th.  It’s in a couple days, actually.  But how did you know?” Eri asked.

   “Oh.  Um… I, uh… looked at the High-Queen staff files,” Ai said quickly.  “But here’s my point: I don’t want either of you guys to celebrate it.”

   “Why not?” Eri pouted.  “I was going to throw a big party…”

   “You don’t have to, though,” Ai grinned.  “Because I’m going to throw a party.”

   “What?” Eri gasped.  “And you’re not inviting us?  But… I’m Risa-chan’s best friend!”  The turtle looked at her girlfriend with a pout.  The yankii turned to her leader and glared.

   “Oh, that’s just low, Ai,” Reina growled.  “Eri wants to celebrate too.”

   “Wow, you’ve really gone crazy for her,” Ai said.  “Normally, you wouldn’t care about these things.”

   “Well, when it comes to my baby—”

   “It’s okay, Reina-chan,” Eri cut her off, sniffing.  “You better have a good reason for leaving us out on the party plan, Ai.”

   “Well…” Ai scratched her head.  “Yeah, I do.”

   “I’m listening.”

   “… I’m planning on asking her out,” Ai finally said.

   The hallway was silent.  Eri’s eyes popped wide open.  Reina raised an eyebrow.

   “Wow, that was pretty quick,” the yankii said.  “You just can’t stay away from her, can you?”

   “Yeah… well… I love her,” Ai mumbled.

   “I know that feeling,” Reina grinned.

   “Well,” Eri started, “I don’t have anything against that.  I mean, I think Risa-chan will be happy with you too… You’re a good person, Ai.”

   “Thanks,” Ai smiled. 

   “So do you have some special plan?” Eri asked.

   “Yeah… so here’s what I’m doing and what I need you guys to do…”

Sexy dancing ftw! Tanakame seems to be progressing quite nicely, I wonder how far they would have gone in the elevator if Takagaki hadn't shown up?

Finally! Ai's going to ask Risa out!! Will it go as planned though or will a certain bunny mess things up?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 57

   Risa moved silently with plastic bags in both hands.  She was walking back from the supermarket with bags of groceries.  As she walked down her street, she kept on thinking about the events in the past week.

   Starting from the day after the “dance” incident, everybody had started to act weird.  Eri was spending an awful lot of time with her girlfriend.  Some nights, they wouldn’t even come home and Risa would be left alone in the house, wondering where they were… But in the end, it always turned out that they spent the night at High-Queen’s apartment, because they were too tired.  Ai always confirmed this fact.

   Risa had nothing against the couple wanting to spend time together.  But for some reason, she felt like Eri was trying to avoid her.  She would put on the shaky smile and laugh nervously and run way.  And Reina just seemed bipolar now; she would be all happy in front of Eri but when the turtle wasn’t present, she usually didn’t say more than a maximum of three words in a sentence.

   Ai wasn’t exactly normal these days either.  She had asked if she could borrow the bean’s song notebook, because she wanted to look through it.  It still hadn’t been returned.  Also, the leader never seemed to be there with Risa as much as she used to be.  Right after a meeting or a practice, she would run off somewhere and leave a simple text for the younger girl, which usually said something along the lines of ‘sorry for leaving early’ or ‘good night’.

   Today, Risa was especially upset that everyone seemed to avoid her.  One of the reasons was the fact that Eri asked her to go grocery shopping when it was her birthday.  When the bean woke up this morning, nobody wished her happy birthday, not even Eri.  Sayumi had come by the house with Junjun in the morning, but she had a check-up with her doctor to see if she could stay on release for a little longer.  So basically, Risa felt completely alone.

   “Why did Ai ask me for my notebook?” Risa thought.  “And why is she never there anymore?  Is she upset about something?  And what is up with Kameha these days? She’s my best friend; the least she could do is wish me happy birthday.  It’s not like I wanted a party or anything, but still…

   The bean sighed as she finally reached her front steps.  She unlocked the door and walked in.

   “Tadaima!” Risa yelled into the house.  When only silence greeted her, the bean cocked her head to the side and dropped the grocery bags.  “Kameha?  Where are you?”

   She slowly took off her shoes and walked into the house.  There were no lights on at all.  Risa slowly turned left into the living room.  She could see something moving in the far wall.

   “Kameha?” she whispered.  She found the light switch and flipped it on. 

   In the far wall, near the side of the sofa, was Reina who had Eri pinned up against the wall.  They were in a pretty intense make-out session, very much like the time in the elevator. 

   “GAH!” Risa yelled in shock.

   “KYAH!” Eri screamed, surprised.  She immediately pushed her girlfriend away on impulse, which sent Reina stumbling backwards, falling on the sofa, head first.

   “Ow!” the yankii complained, rubbing the back of her head.  “Hey, that hurt!”

   “What are you two doing in my living room?” Risa shrilled.  So Eri had sent her out to get groceries, invited her girlfriend over, and started to make out with her… on her birthday.

   “Well… Reina stopped by to drop something off… and she ended up coming in to stay for a while… and… well… yeah,” Eri squeaked hesitantly.

   “Kameha, I know this is our house,” Risa growled, “but now, I’m not so sure if I can ever touch that side of the wall again.”

   “We didn’t get that far yet,” Reina mumbled, crossing her legs on the sofa.  “We might’ve, if you didn’t come in…”

   “Reina-chan!” Eri yelled, her face blushing. 

   “You know what?” Risa said, irritated.  “It’s either you guys leave, or I leave.  Since you two already made yourselves comfortable, I think I’ll go out for a while.”

   Reina mumbled something under her breath again, and Eri slapped her arm as she walked towards her friend.

   “Well, Reina-chan told me Ai is eating dinner in a café right now,” Eri started slowly.  “Do you want to go there?”

   “Yeah, sure, why not,” Risa said.  The thought of being with Ai cheered her up a little.  But at this point, Risa really didn’t care where she went… as long as she was away from these two lovebirds.

   “Okay then!” Eri said.  She ran to the coffee table to get a notepad and a pen.  She wrote down a couple things, ripped off the page, and gave it to Risa. 

   “Thanks,” Risa mumbled.  “Thanks for forgetting my birthday…

   With that, the bean turned around and walked out of her house, slamming the front door.  Eri’s smile dropped as she turned to face her girlfriend.

   “Did you see her face?” the turtle cried.  “She’s miserable!  I almost blew the secret right then and there!”

   “It’s good that you didn’t,” Reina said, walking over to her girlfriend.  “I’m sure Ai has something special planned.”

   In an attempt to comfort her, the yankii pressed her lips against the older girl and wound her arms around her waist.  Eri slowly slid her hands up to Reina’s shoulder.  After a couple seconds, she pushed her away.

   “I’ve never missed her birthday ever since we met!” Eri cried again.  “She must feel betrayed… how do I live with this?”

   “Calm down, baby,” Reina whispered into her ear.  “Everything will be fine.”  She nibbled on her ear but Eri didn’t seem to notice.

   “What if she never forgives me for this?” Eri babbled on.  “What if Ai’s plan goes wrong?  What do I do then?”

   Sighing, Reina finally backed away to meet the turtle’s eyes. 

   “Well…” Reina started slowly, “Ai said our job was to direct Gaki to the café… but she never said we couldn’t go there after our mission.”

   “Can we go there?” Eri asked, her eyes lighting up.  “Would you take me?”

   “I’d much rather stay here and continue what we were doing but…” Reina thought.  “Anything for you, baby.”

**  **  ** 

   “Terrible!” Risa thought, stomping down the loud street with chains of shops.  “How can Eri do this to me? Something is definitely wrong here!

   Risa finally approached the address that the turtle had written down.  All the lights in the café were off.  The bean tried the door to find it unlocked.  Hesitantly, she walked into the shop to face a dark corridor.  She started to walk down the hallway.

   “Why do I feel like I’m being duped?” Risa thought to herself. 

   She finally felt her foot crossing over a threshold.  Through the darkness, Risa could tell that she was no longer in a hall, because she wasn’t enclosed by narrow walls anymore.

   “Hello?” the bean squeaked.

   At that moment, the dim yellow lights came on in the large area.  Risa gasped out loud.  All the small circular tables and chairs were pushed off to the side.  Instead, the room with filled with pastel colored balloons.  Ribbons and glitter decorations sequined every wall. 

   There was a small stage in the far wall.  The spotlights came on to reveal a smiling girl holding a mic.  She was wearing a plaid shirt over a white tank top with jeans.  Her brown hair was long and straight.

   “Happy Birthday, Risa,” Ai’s voice echoed in the room.  “This one is for you… ‘Koi ING’.”

Tanakame makes me totally laugh, I love how they always seems to be making out. Omg, Ai's plan is already so romantic, if a little frustrating, I can't wait to see how it turns out.

I'm guessing TanaKame's "lets-make-out-to-drive-Risa-out-of-the-house-to-go-to-the-cafe" was Reina's idea? :lol:

@Ada: yeah, b-days are AWESOME.  They have quite some significance in this story :twisted:

@rndmnwierd: yeah, i'm just evil like that :twisted:

@xanimefreak13x: aww~ ppl always forget my birthday because it's during the summer and in where i'm from, it's a holiday so... :smhid

@badsaints: LOL most likely. I don't think Eri would suggest such a thing :D


**this is my second post of the day. If you missed my previous chapter, go read that first, and then read this** :)

GAH there was WAY too much expectations for this chapter... I feel pressured :shocked
I hope it meets up to your standards, ppl...  :nervous

and I suggest actually listening to the song while you read. the emotion really gets you (well, it got me) XD

Koi ING - Takahashi Ai with HP Egg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPFK2fX_cp0#ws)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 58

   A soft, piano instrumental started to flow out of the speakers.  Risa recognized the tune: it was her song.  Did the High-Queen leader take her notebook for this?  Did she make this instrumental by herself?

   “Ai…?”

   Risa eyes widened as she stared at the beautiful singer on the small stage.  The idol smiled, brought the mic to her lips, and started to sing.

I didn’t know how to call out to you
So I simply approached you
Even my personality changes
When I talk to you

   “For me…?” Risa thought, her lips trembling.  “She’s singing this… for me?

About the god of love
And how I said “Your arm has fallen!”
I am repenting
For how I complained

   “This is the song that I wrote for her; how can Ai express it so well?” Risa thought.  “The song of ultimate love… for me…?

There were times when life was boring
Because I couldn’t even have an unrequited love
Now I’m in the middle of an actual love
I’m dazed for the first time in a while

   “She’s not just singing this because it’s my birthday,” Risa realized.  “She couldn’t be bringing out this much emotion if she didn’t truly feel this way… right?

If the two of us stay together forever
It seems like we can go on enjoying life
Even though I’m actually quite clumsy
And still a little distant

   The song reached the interlude.  Ai stepped down from the stage and walked across the room, sending balloons into the air.

   “Did you make this?” Risa cried.

   “Yes,” Ai laughed. 

   “But… why?”

   “Niigaki Risa,” Ai started, taking the younger girl’s hand, “ever since I first met you, my entire life changed.  I didn’t know what the feeling was at first, but now I do.  And I don’t plan on letting it go.”

   “What do you mean?” Risa whispered.

   “I love you, Risa!” Ai announced.  “Will you be my girlfriend?”

   Risa exhaled sharply.  Small tears started to form at the corner of her eyes.  She roughly ran her sleeves over her eyes and smiled.

   “Yes!” she laughed.

   Ai smiled.  “Arigatou,” she whispered.  The song approached the bridge.

There were times when I put on gourmet airs
Because I couldn’t even find someone to like
Now, I’m in the middle of an actual love
I’m dazed by the person I love

   “I can’t believe this,” Risa thought, tears streaming down her cheeks.  “I can’t believe this at all…

   Ai lifted her hand and gently wiped away the tears under Risa’s eyes, smiling.

I want the two of us to stay together forever
If there’s only one piece of bread, we’ll split it
I’m still actually just a novice
This is the beginning of everything

The progressive form of love

   “Happy Birthday, Risa,” Ai said, as the music flowed in the background.

   “Best… birthday… present… ever,” Risa hiccupped.

   “Why are you crying?” Ai laughed, stroking the younger girl’s wet cheeks.  “Aren’t you supposed to be happy?”

   “I am happy,” Risa gasped.  “I really love you, Ai.  I love you.”

   “I love you too,” the older girl replied softly.

   Then, Ai pulled Risa towards herself into a hug.  As the song reached its end, a loud cheer and clapping came from the door.  Risa whipped around to see the visitors as Ai laughed.  Eri was jumping up and down, cheering and clapping.  Reina was next to her, clapping with a small smile.

   “Eri!  Reina!” Risa yelled.  “Were you two a part of this too?”

   “Oh, please don’t be mad, Risa-chan!” Eri pleaded with a guilty smile.  “In the end, it all worked up to the ultimate happiness, right?”

   “How long were you guys standing there?” Risa asked.

   “Long enough,” Reina sighed.  “Sorry for crashing, Ai.”

   “It’s okay.  I didn’t think Eri was the type to sit tight in the first place,” Ai grinned.  “That’s why I got the big cake instead of the small one.”

   “I just heard the word ‘cake’!” the turtle exclaimed.  Ai pointed to one of the coffee tables pushed off to the side.  On top of it was a white cake along with plates, forks, a knife, and a box of matches.  The candles were already plunged into the cake.

   Eri dashed over and pulled table over to the middle of the room.  She grabbed the box of matches and opened it.  But before she could light it, Reina snatched it away from her hands and lit it herself.

   “From the way you’re shaking with joy,” the yankii explained, “you could light this whole place on fire.  Then I’ll have to go through the trouble of saving you.”

   “I can take care of myself,” Eri pouted.

   Reina ignored her girlfriend’s last comment and started to light the candles that were already stabbed into the cake.  She shook the matches until the fire went out.  Ai put her arm around Risa’s shoulder.

   “Make a wish,” the leader whispered.

   Risa closed her eyes for a couple seconds, and then blew out all the candles.  Eri started to cheer and clap again as her girlfriend joined in on the clapping.

   “What did you wish for?” Eri asked.

   “It’s a secret,” Risa grinned.

   “You can’t even tell me?” Ai questioned.

   “Nope!” Risa laughed.  “If I tell someone, it won’t come true.”

   “Yeah, leave the birthday girl alone,” Reina said. 

   Risa smiled and looked down the white cake.  She read the words, “Happy Birthday Risa”, written with pink icing.

   “I wish… Ai would never leave me.  I wish I would never be left behind, ever again.  I wish we could stay together forever.

I sense a certain bunny storming around in a rage when she hears this 8D If she's crazy enough to tell Ai's secret to Gaki, then it will all be over between AiGaki ;_;
What I don't understand if... they already knew each other, so why didn't Gaki recognize her the first time she saw her? oxo But I know we'll get the answers soon xD

Chapter 59

   “Oh, so this is what they call a cheeseburger…” Ai mumbled, turning the food in her hand this way and that.

   “It’s good, isn’t it?” Reina said, taking a bite out of her own lunch.  “So they call it cheeseburger because there’s cheese in it.  But hamburgers really don’t have ham in it… isn’t that funny?”

   “Oh, that’s really interesting,” Ai said sincerely, her eyes widening.

   “I can’t believe I’m sitting here listening to a debate on burgers,” Risa laughed.

   “Hey, I’ve never really tasted something like this,” Ai defended herself.  “Reina and I don’t have too many chances to eat out in public… and we try to stay away from fat.”

   “Speaking of staying away from fat, why are we eating lunch at a fast food place again?” Reina asked.

   “Your girlfriend wanted to come here,” Risa reminded.

   “Oh…” Reina turned to look at the turtle next to her, who was starting to pout.  “Well then, I don’t mind fattening up a bit and just working out one more hour.”  This brought a smile to Eri’s lips.

   “What about you, Ai?” Risa asked, worried.

   “I’m fine with whatever we eat,” Ai smiled, “as long as we eat together.”

   “That was so corny,” Reina muttered.

   “Not any cornier than us,” Eri contradicted, picking up a french-fry and holding it up to her girlfriend’s lips.   “Say ‘ah’!”

   “Ah~!”

   The yankii immediately opened her mouth and Eri put the fried potato in.  She chewed happily until she noticed the two girls sitting across from her giggling. 

   “Hey, don’t laugh!” Reina yelled, standing up as her cheeks flushed bright red.

   Ai and Risa both shut their mouths, trying to hold in the laughter.  Their cheeks started to puff up as Reina crossed her arms and sank back into the chair. 

   “By the way,” Eri started, “you all know what’s coming up in a couple days, right?”

   “Kameha, your birthday is in December,” Risa reminded, sipping her soda.

   “I know that!  I’m not that spaced out, Risa-chan!” Eri pouted.  “I’m talking about Halloween!”

   “Oh yeah, we should buy some candy for the kids,” Risa said.

   “That and we should all dress up and have a party!” Eri suggested.

   “Aren’t we a little too old to celebrate Halloween?” Ai raised her eyebrows.

   “You’re never too old for Halloween,” Eri said.  “Right, Reina-chan?”

   “… Yeah, about that…” the yankii mumbled.  “I’m not really into all the… dress-up stuff… Besides, Ai and I have that party to go to…”

   “What party?” Risa and Eri asked in unison.

   Reina’s eyes popped open.  She quickly reached for her soda and started sipping furiously.  Ai narrowed her eyes and glared at her partner.

   “Way to go, Reina,” the leader growled.

   “What party?” Risa questioned again, a little more annoyed now.

   “Reina-chan, you were going to ditch me and go to a party with Ai?” Eri said sadly.

   “It’s not what you’re thinking!” the yankii defended herself.

   “What party?” Risa asked a little more loudly, reaching the end of her patience.

   “It’s a celebrity party,” Ai answered, “kind of.  Another idol group from our company is having a party at their leader’s house.  It’s a private gathering, and they invited a lot of people from their social circle.”

   The High-Queen leader took out her cell phone, clicked a couple dials, and presented the text message invitation to her girlfriend.  Risa studied the screen.

   “Ishikawa Rika…” the bean thought.  “Rika… Where have I heard that name before?

   “What group?” Eri asked.  “Do we know them?”

   “You might,” Reina answered.  “It’s v-u-den.”

   “It says you can bring friends who might fit in,” Risa said in a low voice.  “You thought Eri and I wouldn’t be able to be part of such a high-class clique?”

   “That’s not it,” Ai said, shaking her head.  “Actually, Reina and I don’t want to go either.  But we have to; they’re our senpais.  The thing is… how do I say this…”

   “They’re pretty intense party animals,” Reina cut in.  “They’re bound to leap into the Rated-R level.”

   “And we didn’t want either of you to be there,” Ai continued.  “It might get dangerous.”

   “All the more reason for us to go,” Risa argued.  “Eri and I want to make sure that neither of our girlfriends gets hit on.  Right, Kameha?”

   “Right!” Eri agreed.

   “We’re going to the party,” Risa decided.

   “No you’re not,” Ai disagreed.  “It’s not safe.”

   “Then you’re not safe,” the bean shot back.  “If you think it’s going to get… ‘dangerous’… I trust that you’ll protect me.  Unless you can’t do that, Ai.”

   Ai bit down on her bottom lip.  Risa tried to keep a determined face.  But she felt horrible for saying that to her new girlfriend.  She had just questioned Ai’s entire character of being mature, responsible, and protective; that was probably a big strike on her ego.  But Risa really felt like she needed to be at that party… so she can stand next to Ai and feel at home there.  So that nobody else would even think of approaching her girlfriend.

   “Fine,” Ai muttered.  “But you have to dress innocently.  Nothing too revealing, nothing too suggestive.  Understand?”

   “Yeah, I understand,” Risa grinned.  “Thanks.”

   “I have the perfect costume idea for the both of us, Risa-chan!” Eri babbled excitedly.  “I’ll work on it right away!  I have an idea for Reina-chan too—”

   “I’ll pass on that…” the yankii mumbled. 

   “But—”

   “Don’t worry, baby.  I won’t disappoint you,” Reina smiled weakly.  “It might be a little painful for me… but I think you’ll like my costume.”

   “… Okay then,” Eri sighed.  “I’m trusting you on that!”

   “I guess it’s settled then,” Ai sighed.  “Anywhere else you guys need to go today?”

   “I want to go home and start on those costumes,” Eri said.  “Will you stay with me, Reina-chan?”

   “Anywhere you are,” Reina grinned.

   “What about you, Risa?” Ai asked.

   “Um… can we go to the beach?” Risa said hesitantly.

   “Why do you want to go to the beach in October?” Eri said, cocking her head to the side.

   “I have my reasons,” Risa mumbled.  “Ai, will you drive me?”

   “Of course,” Ai answered.  “It’s a little far though.”

   “That’s fine,” Risa said.  “There’s just something really important I have to do…”

Hmm, a dangerous party? I can't wait to see what you have in store, I'm sure it will be great!

@kurosawa87: oh, something ALWAYS happens at a party XD

@kawaii beam: yeah, parties are great for incidents... :twisted:

@Ada: I think you'll like their costumes... :D

@Swtme03: LOL come back when you're sober, we're getting to the good parts :twothumbs

@rndmnwierd: It has to be the original line-up... Sayu and Jun have their own roles and Risako's a student in Aika's school, remember? XD oh yes~ dangerous party.. :twisted:

@Ada (again): sorry to disappoint you, but no XD  I had some other TakaGaki moments up my sleeves though :twothumbs


Wow, I love how all of your faces change to  :drool: as soon as you hear the word "party" XD
But for now, here is a SUPER long chapter that may answer some questions, and leave some behind :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 60

   Risa climbed out of the black convertible and skittered towards the edge of the boardwalk.  She placed her hands on the railing and stuck out her head as far as she could, and inhaled the salty air.

   “Uwa~ Ii na!” The bean exclaimed.  “It feels so nice!” 
Over the outlook, she could see the sand continue on until the dark sea engulfed the rest of the land.  The sun was about to set in the horizon.  The cold, October wind was blowing furiously against her face, taking her hair aback with them.  Risa felt a sudden warmth around her body.

   “You’ll catch a cold like that,” Ai said in a gentle tone.  “The temperature is even lower around the beach.”

   Risa examined the blue material around her shoulders.  She raised an eyebrow at her girlfriend.

   “You carry a blanket around handy?” the younger girl asked, smiling.

   “I always keep one in the car,” Ai answered.  “If we work overnight, I like to have one so I can catch short naps on the studio couch or something.”

   “I see…” the bean mumbled.  She pulled the blanket closer to herself.  She could smell a little bit of Ai’s scent.  She smiled.

   “So,” the leader started, “what’s the important thing you needed to do?”

   “… I want to tell you more about myself,” Risa answered, looking out towards the horizon.  “I realized that even though we’re going out now, we know so little about each other.  I want to take this time to fess up a couple things, like my past and stuff.”

   “I don’t think the past really matters,” Ai said in a low voice.  “All that matters is that we’re here together now.”

   “It’s nothing bad, I promise,” Risa laughed softly.  “It’s just… I want you to know the important moments in my life.  I want you to understand me better, and vice versa.  Will you listen?”

   “As long as you want me to.”

   “Thanks,” Risa said.  “I guess… I’ll start with a shocking secret of mine.”

   The younger girl straightened her back and faced her girlfriend.  Ai waited for her to speak again.

   “I didn’t always want to be a song writer,” Risa confessed.  “The truth is… my original dream was to be a singer.”

   “…That was a little sudden, but not too surprising,” Ai said calmly.  “You definitely have musical talent.”

   “Maybe I do,” Risa laughed.  “But… I gave up on this dream myself.  And that’s something completely unforgiveable on my account.”

   “You can tell me about it.”

   “… I had a friend,” Risa smiled.  “I met her when I was ten years old, and she was twelve.  Eri, Sayu, and I already knew each other since birth.  Out of the three, I was the only one who held the dreams to become an idol.

   “Then one day, a girl moved into our apartment complex.  Her name was also Ai, like you, but her family name was Mizuhara.  She moved into the next building with her mother; apparently, her parents were divorced. 

   “We met each other at the neighborhood playground.  I was singing ‘Furusato’ by Morning Musume for Eri and Sayu… and Mizuhara Ai joined in.  We sang together, and we realized we both shared the same dreams.  We became best friends; I started calling her ‘Ai-chan’…”

   “Is that why you call me just Ai?” the leader asked.

   “Yeah…” Risa answered.  “I feel like the term ‘Ai-chan’ is reserved just for her, you know?  Anyway, Ai-chan moved around a lot, because her mother’s job required her to do so.  I was scared that she would move away without warning, so I always visited her house to make sure there was no packing going on.

   “We promised we would be idols together.  We promised that even if we were separated, we would always meet on stage together.  Singing was our connection.”

   Risa paused for a moment.  Her gentle smile became an expression of misery.  Ai waited patiently.

   “It was my fault,” Risa whispered.  “I had heard about some neighborhood gossip, about how her mother was going through hard times because she was irresponsible to marry so young.  While we were playing together, with Eri and Sayu, I told Ai-chan about the gossip.  She got really mad.  She told me not to go around spreading rumors when I didn’t know anything. 

   Risa paused again, biting down on her lips in an effort not to cry.  Ai took a hold of her girlfriend’s hand.

   “I won’t go too much into details,” Risa choked out.  “But… that was the last time I saw her.  When I decided that I should make up with her, she was already gone.  The place was empty, and the neighbors told me that she moved away that morning.  Her mother had found another job to do in a different city…

   “I ran out, trying to catch a bus, a taxi, anything.  But I was only ten years old; I ended up crying and collapsing.  I woke up in a hospital.  They told my parents that I had slight amnesia from trauma.  It normally wouldn’t affect anybody, but I was young and weak.  Even now, Ai-chan’s face is a blur to me…

   “But Ai-chan was such a precious friend; I decided that I would keep our promise and become an idol.  I worked hard for it.  When I was in middle school, there was a local talent show.  I got up on that stage to sing ‘Furusato’… and nothing came out.  Typical stage fright… I couldn’t sing in front of too many people.

   “I cried so much after realizing I didn’t have what it takes to perform.  I wrote out my feelings that night…”

   “Shouganai Yume Oibito,” Ai realized.

   “Yes,” Risa confirmed.  “Hopeless Dream Chaser… it’s a type of guilt that I’ll have to burden forever.”

   “You were only ten years old,” Ai argued.  “It’s a child’s promise; you shouldn’t let it get to you like that.”

   “That’s where you’re wrong,” Risa contradicted.  “We were only kids but we both took that dream very seriously.  Ai-chan was very talented; I’m sure she’s working hard to reach her goal… But I broke my promise.”

   The younger girl sniffed and smiled.  She looked up at her girlfriend, whose face was scrunched up in a pained expression.

   “That’s my story,” Risa said brightly.  “It’s nothing you need to be too bothered by; I just wanted you to know, that’s all.”

   “Risa— ”

   “Besides, I’m glad I’m a song writer now.  Or else, I might not have met you.”

   Ai looked at her smiling girlfriend for a while, then sighed.  She pulled Risa towards herself into a hug. 

   “I’m sure your friend doesn’t want you to feel guilty over this either,” Ai whispered.  “How do you know she hasn’t given up either?”

   “It doesn’t matter, whether she gave up or not,” Risa replied.  “It doesn’t justify my promise-breaking.”

   Ai pulled away a little and gave Risa a light knock on the head with her fist. 

   “You’re too nice for your own good,” she laughed.

   “I’m not sure if ‘nice’ is the right word,” Risa grinned.  She sighed contently.  “I’m glad you’re here with me, Ai.”

   “I’m glad I’m here too,” Ai answered. 

   She craned her neck and kissed her girlfriend’s forehead.  When she met eyes with the younger girl again, Ai realized her cheeks blushing pink.  The leader slowly leaned in on impulse.  When Risa made no effort to move away, Ai took the initiative and kissed her lips. 

   Her lips moved carefully against Risa’s in an effort not to frighten her.  After a while, Ai backed away so that only their foreheads were touching.

   “I think that was better than our first kiss,” the older girl whispered.  “I didn’t leave such a good memory then, huh?”

   “You didn’t,” Risa mumbled, recalling the incident at the amusement park.  “But now, it’s a good memory in its own way.”

   “Nee… Can I… kiss you again?” Ai asked carefully.

   “I was hoping you would ask,” Risa giggled.

   The leader smiled, as she connected her lips with her girlfriend’s again.  This time, she moved a little faster, her arms winding around Risa’s waist.  She licked the younger girl’s lips a little, wondering if an entrance was possible.  When Risa parted her mouth in welcome, Ai carefully inserted her tongue explored her mouth.  A moan escaped from Risa’s throat as she started to move her own tongue, eager for more.  But shortly after, Risa turned away, gasping for air.

   “Breathe,” she huffed.  “Need… more… oxygen…”

   “Are you okay?” Ai asked, worried.  “You should never forget to breathe while you kiss…”

   “It’s kind of hard to do that while you’re the one kissing me!” Risa argued, blushing.

   “Oh, I see,” Ai laughed.  “I’ll give you another chance then.  Don’t forget to breathe this time.”

   “I’ll try,” Risa grinned. 

   As the two girls started to lock their lips again, the sun hid itself behind the dark sea.

OOOOOH so this is how it was! oxo definitely didn't expect this xD
But if this is the case then, Gakisan wouldn't mind too much to find out the truth right? oxo I'll eagerly wait for that moment  ;)

And awwwwwww  :wub:
I don't know why, but when I read the last two chappies and I thought how it would be when they will FINALLY kiss again, this hawt and heavy image came to my mind  :lol: lol perv ada xD
but this was just too adorable  :heart: *squee*

I'm thinking Reina will get a sexy cat suit and wave her cute little tail around Eri's nose  :w00t: ... or not xD
And Aichan in some short skirt or jeans to show how glorious and perfect her rear is  :grin: .... or not  :lol:

Aha, so that's the story. I think maybe I can see two different reactions to Risa finding out that Ai is actually her Ai-chan. I wonder which one you'll put? Then again, maybe Risa will never know who Ai really is, but would Sayu really be able to hold her tongue once she finds out that they're dating?

“Breathe,” she huffed.  “Need… more… oxygen…”
XD Omg, her and Eri are more alike than they think!

I really love your history!!
please keep it up~ :twothumbs

Ahhh, I missed out on commenting the last chapter... wasn't expecting you to update so fast/early today :P but it's all good nonetheless~

Ch. 59: ooo...partyyy~ :drool: jkjk! heh, but that's because we all know how much you love parties~ :pimp: Looking forward to this R-rated, intense party you have planned~ Heh, alcohol is must of course... and maybe some spiked drinks... ;) I'm quite surprised that Ai-chan didn't want Risa to go with her. I mean doesn't she want to show off her super awesome and hot new girlfriend? :wub: Or was she intending to do something else there... ahem :lol: Leaving Risa at home would take away from all the fun~ and Risa's right in the fact that they should protect each other, instead of hiding away from the situation, so I'm glad that it all worked out.  :)

Ch. 60:
Quote
Risa felt a sudden warmth around her body.
Haha, my first thought was "Aww, how cuteeee~ Ai-chan's sneak hugging Risa from behind to keep her warm~" but... it was just a blanket, lol. Still cute nonetheless~ Aichan's so caring  :wub:
*reads backstory of Risa's past*
Ahhh, I totally wasn't expecting this either! I thought it was gonna be something more... hmm, dark and evil? XD Like... maybe some deaths, a breakup or something, some betrayal and violence... :P considering how everyone wants to keep it all hush-hush. (Woops, maybe I'm watching too many dramas... Fine, maybe not ALL that, but yeah you get the point...) But then again, I realize that they were just kids back then :doh: However, I find it quite CUTE how Risa's all torturing herself and feeling bad for something so... innocent and childish (for a lack of a better word) and not to mention amazing for how loyal she is to her beliefs. Ai must have meant a great deal to her if she can't forgive herself for such normally small misdoing. :wub: In the case that Sayu does rat out on Ai-chan, which is probably definite unless she totally goes through some divine change and finally sees the light of things, :lol: I wonder how Risa would react... I hope it's the good one, unless you want to torture us readers and make the story all angsty... (however I would like that) :yep: I'm thinking that Risa would finally forgive herself and maybe Ai-chan can ditch Reina and form a new group with Risa. LOL, jk. That's just my wishful thinking. :nervous
Woops, that got kinda long~ Sorry! I should end that part there, even though there's still more I wanna say. :P
w00t, w00t!  :cow: sweet takagaki moment at the end! I'm loving it all~ Aww, don't worry about the length of the fic, it's all good  :twothumbs the longer the better! What else am I gonna do with my summer if this ends? :( I'm pretty much sitting at home all day waiting for your update :grin: Nah, it's not gonna be hard to keep us hooked... I mean, like, just throw in some make-out sessions here and there... and maybe some perv scenes and that'll do the trick :roll:
OMG~ I just noticed how long my reply is... I guess, super long reply to thank you for your super long and awesome chapter today  :heart:

@Ada: LOL I like perv moments but I like sweet moments too XD

@rndmnwierd: I promise that by the end of this fanfic, all secrets will be revealed :)  and I guess i portrayed Eri and Risa as the more... "unexperienced" ones :twisted:

@NekoMioko: WOOT another lurker pulled out!!! :cow: :otomerika: :yossi: it took you long enough to comment! XD  and I like how you're thinking about Ai's past, it's going to be important later :)

@kawaii beam: oh, they dress pretty innocently. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything, you know :twisted:

@xanimefreak13x: this next chapter might make you question their past again :) and don't worry about long comments, i LOVE reading long comments! it's what motivates me the most! XD In fact, your last comment just made me write two more chapters, thank you~ :wub:


So I didn't plan for this chapter but I thought it may be necessary... so it's a half chapter  :twothumbs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 60.5

   “So that’s what I told her,” Risa sighed, as she balanced her chin on the table. 

   “Wow, you’re being really open with her,” Eri commented, not looking up from her sewing machine.  “I never thought you’d be able to tell others about Ai-chan…”

   The two friends were sitting on the carpet in their living room.  Eri was busily making the Halloween costumes on the coffee table.  Risa was on the other side, remembering the conversation with her girlfriend a couple hours back.

   “Yeah, me neither,” Risa grinned.  “I just feel like I can tell Ai anything, you know?  I feel like I’ve known her my whole life.”

   “Known her your whole life…?” Eri thought.  She turned off her sewing machine and looked up.  “Risa-chan… have you ever thought that… Takahashi Ai may be Mizuhara Ai?”

   Risa’s lifted an eyebrow.  “Why would you say that?”

   “I don’t know…” Eri mumbled.  “But they kind of give off the same aura, I can’t really explain it.  They kind of look alike too, don’t they?”

   “I wouldn’t know, Kameha,” Risa said, rolling her eyes.  “Traumatic amnesia, remember?”

   “Well, I don’t remember Ai-chan’s face that well either; it was such a long time ago…” Eri said in a low voice.  “I guess they can’t be the same person.  I asked before, and Ai said she’s never lived in the Yamaguchi prefecture, and that Takahashi was her real family name.”

   “Well, there you have it,” Risa grinned.  “Besides, if they were the same person, Ai would’ve told me that she was Ai-chan after I told her my story.”

   “I guess so,” Eri mumbled.  “But something still doesn’t feel right.  Something doesn’t fit…

**  **  ** 

   “Ai, what are you doing?” the yankii questioned, raising an eyebrow.

   The older girl looked up from the couch.  She was sitting with both of her knees hitched up.  In her hand was a glass with a golden liquid and ice cubes.

   “What do you mean?” Ai asked, confused by her partner’s question.  “I’m just sitting here.”

   “No,” Reina rephrased.  “I meant, what are you doing drinking at 10 o’clock at night?  I thought I was the one who liked to drink canned beer after a bath.”

   “I guess I felt like having some tonight,” Ai shrugged.  She gulped down some more of the beer.

   “… There’s something on your mind,” Reina said.  It wasn’t a question.

   “Sometimes, I wish you wouldn’t be so sharp,” Ai sighed.

   “Fine,” the yankii said, going into the kitchen.  She took out a can of beer from the refrigerator stepped back into her room.  “I’ll leave you with your worries alone.”

   “There’s something missing,” Ai thought, sipping some more beer.  “Why did she tell me her story in that way?  Was there a misunderstanding?  Something doesn’t fit…

**  **  ** 

   “I can’t believe I’m stuck in this place again!” Sayumi complained, shuffling around on her bed.  “How can the doctor not let me pass my check-up?”

   “It’s because you overworked yourself too much while you were on release,” Junjun scolded.  “But you’re not going to be here for more than about two weeks, so cheer up.  You’ll be out of the hospital before you know it.”

   “But it’s going to be Halloween soon!” the bunny whined.  “I won’t be able to celebrate it with Risa-chan and Eririn!”

   “Weren’t you listening during your phone conversation?” the panda said.  “They have a party for work anyway; they apologized for that.”

   “I guess…” Sayumi muttered, pouting.  “Jun-chan, what are you doing on Halloween?”

   “Nothing,” the older girl answered.  “I’m staying here with you, I guess.”

   “Will you bring me candy?” the younger girl asked excitedly.

   “I’ll bring at least five different kinds,” Junjun grinned.

   “Yay!” Sayumi cheered, hugging her Chinese companion.  “You’re the best, Junjun!”

   “Anything for you, Shige-san,” the panda replied.  “Yeah… I like it more when she’s happy like this.  Spoiled, but cute.

   “I hope they don’t have too much fun without me,” Sayumi sighed, pulling way from the hug.  “I mean, they’re all going to the same party: Risa-chan, Eririn, Takahashi-san, and Tanaka-san.”

   “I’m sure they all miss you,” Junjun comforted.  “And when you go on release again, they’ll celebrate with you.”

   “Yes, when I’m on release again,” Sayumi agreed. 

   She looked down at her hands.  Her eyes turned dark as her lips curved down.

   “When I’m on release again,” she thought, “I better not find any surprises… Ai-chan.

Ebil!  XD

This chapter really is a .5, a lot of set up here. Eri beginning to slowly turn to the right path about Ai, Ai feeling guilty(I guess) and Sayu and her evillness again.

Quote
I guess i portrayed Eri and Risa as the more... "unexperienced" ones
Really, I like that thought.  :twisted:

@Chapter 60
BLEEEEEEHHHHa;lkas;oifjsa;ighf;oia;eoisfj;asjdf;~!!!!  :panic:
Their first kiss as a couple!!  :heart: :heart: :heart:
So CUTE!!!  :mon cute:

That was a really touching story too  :cry: It's kinda sad that the person she misses the most is actually right in front of her, but she doesn't realize it  :(


@Chapter 60.5
Sayu's gonna FREAK!!!!  :shocked
I've got this feeling in my gut telling me that someone messed with Risa's memory after her accident....  :huhuh
I'm really curious about how she'll react to the truth about Ai-chan. Tho, not before more TakaGaki love time  :)

:mon ref:
IT'S SUNK!!!!  :on comhere:

MOAR PLEASE!  :grin:


P.S.
Sorry about my other comment  :mon sweat:
I'm kind of oblivious and have no control over my actions when I drink.... a lot...  :err:
I guess me and Ai are a lot alike in that sense, huh?  :nervous
I usually end up doing something like updating like crazy on FB and twitter or I'll sometimes come here and make....interesting....posts... :sweatdrop: and I hardly remember anything the next morning...
Funny example.... When I woke up today, I had a txt message. It was from this girl who I went to high school with. I haven't seen her in almost 5 years. "It was great seeing you last night! I hope we do it again soon!! You're so funny!" is what she said. Did I mention that I use to have the BIGGEST crush on her?!  :bleed eyes:
All day today I kept trying to recall what I did last night. I do, now, remember seeing her, but I don't remember giving her my number... Oh well, she's still super gorgeous so she can have it  XD

Hehe, here is your constructive comment for this chapter~

Soo... the first thing that went through my mind was... "OH SHIETT! Eri's suspecting Ai-chan *again* :panic:" and then when it got to this...
Quote
“Besides, if they were the same person, Ai would’ve told me that she was Ai-chan after I told her my story.”
panic mode went ^100%  :panic: :panic: :panic: lol :lol: Oh man, it seems like Takagaki rabu-rabu isn't going down the easy route is it now...  :nervous but I did say that I like the angst... darnnit. XD Gosh darn the turtle for bringing that up... why hasn't her aho-ness kicked in here  :doh:  :cool2: Hopefully Risa can forgive Ai-chan for keeping her past a secret... and get back to the lovin`:wub: instead of calling Ai-chan out for lack of trust issues because they should be open with each other as a couple now... Oh, what the heck~ I'm just getting ahead of myself now. XD

Ooo, you're right~ I am gonna question their past a little more now, with that "something" that is missing. Heh, I knew it wouldn't be that simple! :bingo: My guess is that... that "something" has to do with why Sayu is confined to the hospital... maybe, cause I somehow can't remember how she ended up in there in the first place.
YES! Sayu is back in the hospital! Takagaki is gonna be safe for now! :cow: Aww, although I do feel sorry for the poor girl... :( If only she didn't get in the way of Takagaki rabu...

Apologies for not commenting on the last few chapter, I was away :sweatdrop:

So Risa new another Ai in the past, could Takahashi be hiding her past from RIsa, but then Ai is confused at to the way that Risa told her story???

Why does Risa feel as if she knows Rika, have they met somewhere before, when Risa was trying to become an idol perhaps?

I see Sayu hasn't given up on her evil plans yet, I wonder what she fill find out about Ai?

In my defense I usually don't comment due my limited english :nervous but I'll try to comment from now on

Anyway, you sure are evil  :cry: but now I'm even more curious about Ai's past.... and Sayu is scary!! but for some reason I kinda like her being possessive-obsesive.... makes thing more interesting  XD but poor Jun, she's such a good girl :( I hope she doesn't suffer much...

I'll be waiting patiently for the next chapter :3

@rnmdnwierd: yup, it's like a midsection of all the inner thoughts on the current situation of the plot XD

@kurosawa87: oh yes, the past is pretty complicated :panic:

@kawaii beam: why do you think risa will be upset? (I'm not implying anything by this, I'm honestly curious about what a reader thinks of this situation of the plot) :nervous

@Swtme03: LOL score(?)! XD But you use more emoticons when you don't drink so... yeah, CONTROL XD

@xanimefreak13x: oh yeah, i'll give you angst :twisted: Sayu's in the hospital because she didn't pass the checkup, which she got on Risa's birthday. Her body is naturally weak so she can't stay on release for too long.  it was mentioned a little bit in ch. 57 :)

@oddball: lol no worries. you probably had some catching-up to do though :lol: Risa knows Rika from the club when she went to "save" Ai. it was a long time ago, but it was when i threw in rika/yossie for the hell of it XD

@NekoMioko: oh english shminglish... just do your best :twothumbs thanks for commenting, i appreciate it! XD


So after taht short half-chapter, here's a super long chapter. Lots of interesting stuff going on here, I think :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 61

   “Reina, I never thought that you would wear something like this, unless it was for work,” Ai laughed hysterically.  “I guess love really does make you crazy, huh?”

   “Shut up!” the yankii growled.  “If you say one more thing about my outfit, I will—”

   “Hey, they’re coming out!”

   The High-Queen leader got out of the silver sports car to greet her two friends coming out of their house.  Reina did the same and got of the driver’s seat.  The sky was already pitch black; it was hard to see through the darkness, except for the spot under the street lamp.

   “Sorry for making you wait!” Eri yelled, running towards the sidewalk.  Reina turned around to look at her girlfriend.  As the turtle jumped under the street lamp, the yankii covered her mouth as her eyes popped wide open.

   Eri was wearing a pink costume with white ribbons, laces, and trimmings.  Her skirt flared out at the bottom.  She was also wearing fluffy white leg warmers which matched her fluffy wrist bands nicely.  She had bunny ears on her head.

   “How do I look?” Eri asked, spinning around in a circle.  “Isn’t it cute?”

   “You’re… a bunny…” Reina mumbled into her hand.

   “Yup!” Eri giggled.  “I mean, you said nothing suggestive so I decided that being a bunny was pretty safe.  But this would’ve been more of Sayu’s thing; that’s why I told her I’m going to be a turtle for Halloween.”

   “Being a bunny is still suggestive!” Reina argued.

   “Hey, I could’ve come out in leotards or something, okay?” Eri shot back.  “I think I look pretty cute.”

   “Sorry, Reina, I tried to stop her,” Risa said from the darkness.  “But I was busier trying to keep her from going overboard with my own costume so… yeah.”

   “Come closer, Reina-chan, I want to see what you’re wearing!” Eri yelled.

   “Oh, you’ll love this,” Ai snickered.

   “Shut up,” the yankii grumbled.  She took a couple steps towards the street lamp.  As her out fit came into view, Eri gasped out loud.

   Reina was wearing the golden dress that Eri made her buy when they went shopping together!  The dress was ruffled at the bottom and had a big bow in the front.  Reina was wearing a pearl necklace and matching earrings.  The only addition to the dress that made it a costume was the cat ears that peeked out behind the big, golden hair ribbon.

   “You’re wearing the dress,” Eri breathed.  “I thought you didn’t like the dress?”

   “I don’t,” Reina grumbled.  “But… you like it.  And you seemed pretty happy when I bought it that day so… yeah.”

   “… That’s one of the sweetest things I’ve heard, Reina-chan,” Eri laughed, hugging her girlfriend.  “And you look beautiful.  Thank you.”

   “Well, I guess Eri passes the costume check,” Ai grinned.  “Come out here, Risa.  If you’re wearing something I don’t approve of, you’re going straight back into the house.”

   “I honestly don’t think I can get any more innocent than this,” Risa muttered.

   The bean stepped into the light as Reina and Eri stepped out.  Eri beamed with pride.  Reina smirked.  Ai examined her girlfriend from head to toe; she covered her mouth and started to giggle.

   Risa was wearing a white sweatshirt with black spots and a matching skirt.  Her hair was in a wavy ponytail to the side.  Her fuzzy hoop earrings were also white with black spots.  She had a headband with black horns coming out.  She crossed her arms and puffed up her cheeks.

   “Oh, you make me feel so much better, Ai,” Risa grumbled.  “See, Kameha, even this was going overboard!”

   “Why?  I think you look cute!” Eri giggled.  “Nobody else would’ve thought of being a cow for Halloween.  Besides, I offered you the bunny costume but you turned it down.  I would’ve liked being a cow.”

   “Yeah, because there’s no way I’m walking around in that,” Risa said, pointing at her friend’s pink, fluffy costume. 

   “Well, she definitely passes the costume check,” Reina snickered.

   “Yeah, you pass,” Ai laughed.

   “Gee, thanks,” Risa said sarcastically.

   “No, really.  I like it,” Ai grinned, stepping into the light with her girlfriend.  “It’s cute.”

   “And you told me not to get suggestive!” Risa yelled after realizing what Ai was wearing.

   The leader was wearing a leopard-printed sweatshirt with a matching miniskirt.  She was wearing a red tank-top underneath, and had a red, glittery belt on to match her red boots.  The sweatshirt was short, revealing her belly button.  Her brown hair was loose and wavy. 

   “I’m older than you,” Ai joked.

   “Are you seriously going to use that as an excuse?” Risa raised an eyebrow.

   “Well, nobody would dare to approach the Takahashi Ai or Tanaka Reina, no matter how seductive they look,” Ai explained.  “But if two gorgeous ladies who aren’t in the public eye appear wearing something too suggestive… it won’t go down well.”

   “Aw, you flatter me, Ai,” Eri laughed. 

   “Not me,” Risa grumbled.

   “Come on, cheer up,” Ai said, putting her arm around her girlfriend.  “We have a party to get to.”

**  **  ** 

   “Let’s go, Reina-chan!  Let’s go, go, go!”

   “Eri, don’t run!”

   Reina jumped out of her car and chased after the turtle-turned-rabbit girl into the brightly lit house.  Ai got out and walked around to open the door for the girlfriend.

   “Feeling any better?” the leader asked.

   “Not particularly,” Risa grumbled.

   “Look, nothing’s going to happen tonight to either of us.  I promise,” Ai comforted.  “And the truth is… I’m kind of glad you’re here.  I like showing off pretty things that are mine.”

   “That’s one thing you’re right about,” Risa whispered as she got out of the car.  “That I’m yours.”

   “I’m glad you said that,” Ai smiled.  “Come on; let’s go greet Ishikawa-san.”

   The couple held each other’s hand and walked up the stairs.  The outside of the house was decorated with black and orange lights along with pumpkins and other figurines.  The music was so loud that it could be heard through the closed windows.  Ai opened the front door and walked in with Risa right next to her.

   There were people everywhere.  The living room was completely engulfed by crowds of witches, devils, animals, and more.  Ai pulled Risa close to herself.  But the cow could swear that somebody already touched her butt. 

   The two girls squeezed through the crowds and reached the spacious kitchen.  There were people in there too, but three of them stood out the most.  Ai walked up to them.

   “Ishikawa-san, Miyoshi-san, Okada-san,” the High-Queen leader greeted.

   The girl on the left was wearing a dress with a blue top and a ruffled black skirt.  The blue part looked like silk, and was sequined with gold designs. 

   The girl in the middle was wearing a yellow rabbit costume with bunny ears and fishnet tights.  This made Risa remember Eri and Reina’s conversation about her friend’s costume… Eri definitely wasn’t wearing anything suggestive.

   The girl on the right was wearing a black-and-white striped bikini top with a red mini skirt.  Some sort of tropical dancer, Risa figured.  She was the most revealing out of all of them.

   Then, Risa recognized the girl in the middle.

   “Rika from the club!” the cow yelled out.

   “Oh, I remember you,” Rika giggled.  “The girl without the ID.  I didn’t know you were acquainted with my kouhai.”

   “She’s my girlfriend,” Ai said firmly.  “Do you know each other?”

   “I met her when I went to find you at the club… that night…” Risa mumbled.

   “Oh, so you’re going out with Lovely,” Rika giggled again.  “How sweet.  These are my girls: Erika and Yui.”

   “Hello,” Risa squeaked.  She was kind of overwhelmed by how confident and mature these three girls looked.  Ai seemed to realize the bean’s discomfort, and tightened her hold around her shoulder.

   “Well, we’re going to go look for Reina and our other friend,” Ai said.

   “Oh yeah, we didn’t see Tanakitty yet,” Rika said.  “Tell her to come greet us when you find her.”

   “I’ll do that,” Ai said.  “See you later.”

   With that, the older girl pulled her meek girlfriend out of the kitchen and back into the living room.

   “I think I get what you mean by a Rated-R party now,” Risa whispered.

   “Oh, it’s still on the PG level at the moment,” Ai muttered.  “It might get worse.”

   “I have to find Eri,” Risa decided.  “Who knows what that spaced-out girl is getting herself into.”

   “Reina’s with her, she’s fine,” Ai comforted.

   “No, I think I want to check for myself.”

   Despite her girlfriend’s reassurance, Risa quickly disappeared into the crowd of dancers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

@stefy: thank you~ but honestly, i just couldn't think of better costumes XD


Wow, the comments just decreased half-fold :shocked
I'ma try to get that back up with this SUPER long chapter :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 62

   “Eri!  Reina!  Where are you?”

   Risa pushed through the crowd of mythical creatures dancing.  She turned her head this way and that in search of her pink, bunny friend.  But all she saw was dark colors and skin… lots of skin.  Everybody was dressed in a very revealing manner; Ai’s leopard attire seemed childish compared to some of the costumes.

   But she also noticed something else: nobody was dancing alone.  They all had their respective partners, dancing and kissing much more passionately than the bean ever did with her lover.  At that moment, the memories of walking in on Reina and Eri’s make-out scenes popped into Risa’s head.

   “They’re all so ahead of me and Ai…” she thought, watching the various couples.  “Does Ai want to do that too?  But I can’t… I’m not ready yet!  Am I holding her back…?

   Suddenly, Risa felt someone squeeze her butt.  She let out a short scream and jumped.  She whipped around to find two guys dressed as a gladiator and a vampire, snickering.

   “Hey babe, nice costume,” the gladiator said.  “You wanna have some fun with us?”

   “N-no thank you,” Risa stammered, backing away.

   “Aw, come on,” the vampire said, taking a step forward.  “Don’t be shy, we don’t bite.”  He smiled and revealed his fake fangs as his friend laughed at the terrible joke.

   “I-I’m with someone already,” Risa squeaked.

   “I’m sure we’re better than whoever you’re with,” the two guys cackled.  “Who is it?”

   “Me,” a voice said, as Risa felt a pair of arms around her shoulders.  “You boys got a problem with my girl?”

   “What the hell, bit—”

   “Dude!” the gladiator whispered loudly, his eyes almost popping out of his sockets.  “That’s Takahashi Ai!”

   “Shit!”

   With that, the two guys hid themselves in the crowd again.  Ai grabbed a hold of Risa’s hand and dragged her across the living room.  She pushed through the two French doors and entered the dim-lit dining room.  The music could still be heard, but it was a little more blurred.  There were three to four couples making out in each corner.

   “All of you, out,” the leader ordered.  Her glare was dark and threatening.

   “What?” one guy said menacingly.  “Look here you—”

   “Wait, that’s Takahashi Ai!” his girlfriend whispered. 

   As the couples realized who had spoken to them, they quickly piled out of the dining room.  Soon, only Ai and Risa were left.  The leader pulled her girlfriend over to the back of the room and cornered her against the wall.  Risa stood straight, intimidated by the way the older girl was staring at her.

   “Why did you that?” Ai growled.

   “D-do what?” Risa choked out.

   “Why did you run off like that?” Ai shouted.  “I told you it’s dangerous here, didn’t I?  How am I supposed to protect you if you don’t stick next to me?”

   “If it’s that dangerous, I want to be able to protect Eri too!” Risa argued.  “She’s my friend!”

   “But to me, you’re more important!” Ai yelled.  Risa looked at her with wide eyes.  The leader sighed as she calmed herself down.  “Look… I’m sure Reina is with Eri right now.  Give her some credit; the girl treasures your friend as much as you do, maybe even more.  Trust me when I say this: Eri is safe.”

   “… Okay,” Risa said, wrapping her arms around her girlfriend’s neck.  “I’m sorry for running off.”

   “And I’m sorry for yelling,” Ai whispered, hugging the younger girl.  “I was especially irritable because Ishikawa-san sent me a text, saying that there are some party crashers.  They’re causing some trouble, and the v-u-den members are trying to get them out.  During that time, I want you to stay close to me, okay?”

   “Okay.”  Risa pulled away a little to look at her girlfriend.  The leader must’ve noticed the uncertainty in her eyes because she wrinkled her eyebrows in confusion.

   “Risa?  What’s wrong?”

   Wordlessly, the younger girl shot forward and quickly kissed her girlfriend.  When Ai saw the lust in Risa’s eyes, she leaned forward and kissed her back, pressing her against the wall. 

   Risa tightened her hold around Ai’s neck as her tongue worked around her lips, trying to find an entrance.  Ai seemed taken back by the fact that her younger girlfriend was taking the lead, but she willingly opened her mouth.  The older girl’s arms slipped down to her lover’s slim waist.  But Risa had a different idea in mind; she grabbed Ai’s wrist and let her hand slide down further to her butt.  This completely shocked Ai, as she jumped away and broke away from their kiss.

   “What are you doing?” Ai whispered furiously.

   “You don’t want to?” Risa asked quietly.

   “It’s not the matter of whether I want to or not!” Ai said through her teeth.  “What’s going on, Risa?  Did something happen?”

   “Nothing happened,” Risa whispered, cupping her hands around Ai’s face.  “I just wanted to kiss you…”  But before their lips met again, Ai quickly pushed her girlfriend’s shoulder to the wall.

   “You know I’m not that gullible,” she said in a low voice.  “What happened, Risa?”

   “It’s just…” Risa hesitated, staring down at her feet.  “Ai… Am I holding you back?”

   “Holding me back from what?”

   “From… you know… doing what couples do… and stuff.”

   “Oh.”  Ai raised her eyebrows in surprise from the unexpected answer.  “Um, what makes you think that?”

   “Because I see what all those other couples are doing!” Risa yelled out, finally letting loose.  “They kiss so much more passionately than we do, even Eri and Reina!  And you’re the more experienced one; you want to do more than what we do, don’t you?”

   “What makes you think I’m more experienced?” Ai said in a confused tone.

   “You’re not?”

   “… Well, maybe a little more than you,” Ai mumbled.  “But you’re still my first lover, you know.”

   “But you do think about it, don’t you?” Risa insisted.  “Sometimes, you wish we could go ahead a little more.  Don’t lie and say you don’t.”

   “… Fine,” Ai sighed.  “I admit that I do imagine… sometimes.  But this doesn’t mean you have to push yourself so far like this, Risa.  I’m with you because I love you, not just for physical gains.”

   “But you do want it,” Risa repeated.  “And I’m sorry to say I honestly don’t know how much I can give you at the moment.  But I’m willing to go as far as I can… just not all the way.”

   “Wow, that’s pretty cruel,” Ai teased.  “It’s like letting a child take one lick of the candy then taking it away.  It’s pretty torturous.”

   “I’m sorry!” Risa squeaked, feeling her face burning up.  “Just forget I ever said anything.  I’m fine, I won’t do it again.”

   “Slow down there, sweetheart,” Ai grinned, taking the younger girl’s hand.  “It’s cruel… but if you’re up for some experimenting, I’m willing to see how far we can go.”

   She lifted Risa’s hand to her lips and kissed the palm of it.  Risa’s cheeks flushed dark red, as she nodded determinedly.  Ai smiled and started to kiss and lick the tip of Risa’s fingers, causing the young girl to shiver.  The leader pulled herself closer to her girlfriend by taking the bean’s arm and putting it around her own neck.  She leaned in and met Risa’s lips without the slightest indecision.

   This time, their kiss was a lot rougher.  Ai didn’t hesitate to immediately use her tongue as Risa was just as eager.  The older girl’s hands slid down to the bean’s waist again but this time, she slipped one hand up her shirt to her bare back.  Risa moaned into Ai’s mouth as she felt the cool hand slide up her smooth back.  As her girlfriend started to play with her bra straps, Risa broke away from the kiss, gasping for air.

   “Wait…” she gasped.  “Ai… I need to…”

   “Nope.  No waiting this time.”

   Ai smirked as she immediately attacked her girlfriend’s ear, licking and nibbling on it.  Risa gasped and whimpered while moving her head towards her left to give the singer more space.  While her right hand was occupied from feeling up the younger girl’s back, Ai used her other hand to unzip Risa’s cow sweatshirt and pull it down to her elbows, revealing a black tank-top underneath.  She started to kiss the bean’s collar bones, receiving another moan in return. 

   Ai removed her hand from under Risa’s shirt and started to play around with the edge of the tank-top.  She lifted her head and pulled up Risa’s clothing, just enough to reveal her two perfect molds covered with a black undergarment.  The younger girl gasped as she turned bright red, but made no move to stop her girlfriend.

   “May I?” Ai inquired.  She wasn’t just asking for nothing.  She honestly wanted to know if Risa was okay with going further.

   “Un,” Risa answered, biting down on her lips.

   The idol smiled again as she cupped her hand over one of Risa’s perfect mold, and kissed the other, right above the bra.  This made the younger girl whimper, which only made Ai more excited.  The leader started to slowly massage her girlfriend’s chest while kissing and licking the other side.  Risa moved her hands up from Ai’s neck to her head, tangling her fingers around the thick brown hair.

   The older girl slowly moved down from Risa’s chest area to her stomach.  She kissed around her belly button which caused another suppressed moan to escape from Risa’s lips.  The younger girl was breathing pretty heavily now; her face was bright red.  Ai seemed to take note of this, because she stood up and straightened her back.  She pulled down her girlfriend’s tank-top and zipped up the cow sweatshirt again.  Risa whimpered in protest.

   “I think that’s as far as we can go tonight,” Ai grinned.

   “I can go a little further,” Risa insisted.

   “Oh, can you?”  Suddenly, Ai hitched up her knees in between Risa’s legs, gently hitting her girlfriend’s private spot.  Shocked, Risa jumped up and pushed the idol’s leg down.  Ai smirked.  “See?  You’re not ready yet.”

   “That was cruel,” Risa muttered.

   “So are you,” Ai laughed, as she leaned into the younger girl’s ear.  “Don’t test my patience anymore, Risa.  I’m very close to losing control right now.  But I’m very happy, really.  Thank you.”

   “… Fine,” Risa mumbled.  “I guess I’m happy too.  I’m half yours now, right?”

   “It’s the heart that matters,” Ai answered.  “And I’d like to think that I have all of that already.”  At that moment, the blurred out rock music from the living room changed into a slow song.  Ai offered her hand to her girlfriend.  “May I have this dance?”

   “Yes, you may,” Risa giggled, placing her hand in the singer’s hold. 

   She allowed her arms to be placed around Ai’s neck while the older girl’s arms wound around her waist.  They stared at each other for a while before kissing gently, then embracing.  Their dancing became more of a swaying, as they rocked back and forth in complete bliss.

ACKK~ You update so fast!!  :heart: while I was writing my reply I got this...

Warning - while you were reading 2 new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post.
Me= wtheckk!? And then I noticed that you updated again before I could finish my reply~

Ch.61:
Omg, you're gonna write me some angst?!  :farofflook: AWESOME~ or not... Uh oh, what have I gotten myself into now... haha, but then I guess it'll all be worth it when the build-up of the angst is over. Heh, I guess I'm sadistic like that, I like my favs to suffer :twisted: because then the happy ending would just be awesomer right? :yep:
Ahh, I don't mean why Sayu is in the hospital because she failed her check-up, I got that part. :P I mean, why is she there in the first place... but I guess I kinda figured that out now? Somehow I just kept getting the image of her and everyone else frolicking in a playground back when she was in Yamaguchi AND THEN got all sick, but I guess she's been sick all along, since childhood right? Woops. :oops:

w00t~  :cow: I'm surprised that I actually figured out all of the costumes from your descriptions, AWESOME JOB there. :twothumbs I'm glad that my brain actually decided to function and process the info, heh.

Post by: aussie on August 03, 2010, 06:46:17 AM
So....Risa thinks it's her fault that "Ai-chan" left and she never saw her again, so it shouldn't be all that difficult for them to reconcile once the truth comes out? Sayu and Ai are clearly under the impression that Ai was the one at fault which is preventing Ai from revealing herself to be the "Ai-chan" in Risa's past, which is what's confusing Ai at the moment. I wonder what's going on with that.....and I'm so dying to see Sayu receive her harsh lesson in reality. Sounds cruel, I know, but seeing the way she's been portrayed so far I don't exactly feel all that guilty :D Though, I wouldn't want her to end up tragically, like forever locked away in her fantasy world unable to get over Risa, or something like that. (I'm not giving you ideas, am I???)


As much as TakaGaki was nice and sweet, I can't wait to see what TanaKame got up to in the meantime. I can just imagine how possessive Reina would be in marking Eri as her own XD

Aah sweet hotness  :heart: :w00t:
I was expecting something like this to happen at this kind of perv party xD

“I can go a little further,” Risa insisted.
Omg kinky Gaki  :grin:
That was very nice :D I'm waiting for some hotter stuff sometimes (near) in the future  :twisted:


And why do I have this feeling that TanaKame action will be 10 times hotter than this?  XD  :drool:

You are definitely on the the right track when it comes to writing...those kinds of chapters  :roll:   :thumbsup

I thought it was cute that Risa was worried about Ai's sexual being  XD
She ended up lighting a match in Ai's control system, not knowing just how fast that flame can spread  :grin:
Ai really knows how to turn up the heat too :on_hot: choosing all the right places to play with on Risa   :mon inluv:
Then poured some water on her OWN flame because she respects that she isn't ready yet.  :mon fyeah:
The dancing at the end was just so  :heart: :heart:
I'm looking forward to the time when Risa IS ready  :lick: :jerk:

You are so freakin` AWESOME you know that!? :luvluv1:
Lots of love for you~ :mon lovelaff: :mon lovelaff:

“Me,” a voice said, as Risa felt a pair of arms around her shoulders.  “You boys got a problem with my girl?”
 “All of you, out,” the leader ordered.  Her glare was dark and threatening.
w00t! Show `em who's the boss, Aichan! Me lovin` this dominating character you have going on :twothumbs Aggressive Aichan is sexyyy :heart:
Whaaa~!? I'm quite surprised that Risa is Ai's first lover! That was quite unexpected~

mmm, aggressive Risa is quite hot too... :wub:
*Takagaki talk* : OH shoot! This isn't gonna go where I think it is, is it? :banghead: Somehow I thought you were gonna be evil and end the lovin' there :roll: But phew! good thing you didn't. :lol:
Quote
“From… you know… doing what couples do… and stuff.”
Aww! this line is SOOOO CUTE~ :heart: Risa seems so innocent here~ putting Ai's needs ahead of herself~ she's so caring! :wub:

“I can go a little further,” Risa insisted.
Omg kinky Gaki  :grin:
And, ooo~ I'm liking this kinky Gakisan also~ Hehe. She's such a tease!
But DANGG, I wonder how she can have that much self-control! Especially when it's Ai in front of her :roll: and stopping in the middle of everything too... haha. I applaud her that~ She totally wins there! :theking Oh, and vice-versa too for Ai XD
Aww, the ending was so cute also~ :wub: Heh, you sure do know how to keep your readers hooked~ :wriggly:
Mann, this chapter was just soooo much WIN!  :cow: Hot dayummm~  :imdead:

I don't really know how to rephrase everyone else's comments and make it into my own, since everything I want to say is already written down here. Maybe I should just go with a few more 'Homg Hawt! :drool: ' and a 'Geez, Ai is sexy when she takes control. :inlove: ' Oh and how about a, 'If this is what Takagaki is doing, then I really wonder about Tanakame~! :w00t: '

And definitely a 'Next chapter plox!'  :P

@xanimefreak13x: Yeah, i tried to portray Sayumi as this sickly girl who seems so helpless... but not necessarily weak :)  and yeah, I like that line too XD

@aussie: wow, you are HEAD ON about that analysis, right there.  That's exactly the situation, where Sayu is blaming Ai for everything and Ai believes her :D

@kawaii beam: oh, TanaKame will be pretty hott :twisted:  and i think you have a knack for getting new pages in my thread XD

@Ada: LOL kinky Gaki.. :grin: :rofl:

@Swtme03: I love reading your comments~ :thumbsup  and hopefully, TanaKame will send you on another emoticon rush.. XD

@xanimefreak13x (again): aww~ thank you, i think you're pretty awesome too XD and yup, Ai-chan likes her "property"~ :twisted:

@rndmnwierd: LOL everybody seems to get the drift that TanaKame is always one step ahead of TakaGaki  XD

@YumePouk: Yeah, I update pretty fast (it's because I have nothing better to do, usually) :D

@oddball: LOL Risa didn't decide, Eri decided for her :P

@NekoMioko: speechless is good XD


Wow, that last chapter DEFINITELY got the comment count back up :twothumbs

Hmm, might I suggest that you post the non-pervy parts of the chapter here next time? :P Like just omit the pervy part or something...  :nervous
Oh yeahh~ and the thread title needs to be updated :hee:

As for the chapter... GOOD JOB! :mon fyeah:
Personally, I like the previous chapter better :mon sweat: I don't know why though. I guess maybe it's cause I'm a sucker for Takagaki :heart: or maybe it's cause the chapter hasn't really sunk in yet for me. I really don't know. It just didn't have the same effect as the last chapter? :mon huh: Hmm, or is it that I'm just not as perverted as I thought I would be, LOL. jk.
I LOVED THE ENDING~ :mon lovelaff: SOOO CUTE~ :mon inluv: Aww, Risa finally feels like she belongs~  :wub: Maybe soon she will claim her property like Ai does... hehe.  :twisted:  :cow:
Yeahhh, maybe I am just a sucker for Takagaki rabu :wub:

So the thread is completely out of order now, since i pulled about a dozen lurkers....  XD

Wow, the perv chapter really emptied all those lurker holes... it made me busy with pm-ing too :D

And what's more interesting is that I noticed some lurkers even created an account to get this chapter... that makes me happy :twothumbs

So shocking that so many people actually read my fic... I nvr would've imagined! :w00t:

But all the pm-ing is creating too much work for myself, so I think I'm going to take animefreak's advice and set up a blog or something... :D

But until then, we're back to the sweet, cuteness of the two couples :wub:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 64

   Eri moaned contently as she shifted her body in her own comfortable bed.  She tossed for a little then turned to lie on her other side.  She licked her dry lips and smiled as she felt the warmth of someone else’s skin.  She snuggled closer and the person put their arm around her. 

   Then, realizing that there shouldn’t be anyone else besides herself in her own bed, the turtle gasped and opened her eyes.  She was staring straight at someone’s neck.

   “Morning, baby,” a familiar voice whispered.

   Eri lifted her head to find her girlfriend, lying next to her, naked.  She let out a yell and shifted away.  Reina laughed softly.

   “What’s with that reaction?” she giggled.

   “You… you’re naked!” Eri whispered loudly, blushing.  She felt the cool air blow into the blanket and hit her skin.  Wait… it hit her bare skin.

   The older girl looked down at her own body and realized that she was also not wearing any clothes.  She let out a small yelp and quickly pulled the covers up to her mouth, concealing her nakedness.  She could feel her cheeks burning up as she comprehended the current situation: she and her girlfriend were naked in her bed together.

   “Don’t give me that look,” the yankii mumbled.  “You’re the one who begged me not to leave last night.”

   “I was?” Eri asked.

   “You were also the one who started stripping first, and then forced me out of my own dress.”

   Eri blinked furiously as she tried to remember the previous night’s events.  It slowly started to come back to her: the alcohol, all the couples, the bathroom, the pleasure…  She gasped.

   “I guess you remember everything now,” Reina laughed.  “I can tell from your expression.”

   “Yeah…” Eri mumbled.  “And then we came back here…”

   “And you tried to go all the way with me,” Reina recalled, giggling to herself.  “I had to pin you down and force your eyes close to get you to sleep.”

   “I’m sorry!” Eri cried, completely hiding her face underneath the sheets.  “I… I really shouldn’t have drunk alcohol, it’s my fault.  I’m sorry for making you… do that… in the bathroom… I’m sorry!”

   “What are you sorry for?” Reina asked, puzzled.  “I thought I would be the one to apologize.”

   “Why would you apologize?” Eri mumbled into the blanket.

   “I thought you wouldn’t want me to take advantage of you like that while you weren’t completely sane,” Reina explained.  “It made me happy that you opened up to me… but I worried about whether you would regret your actions or not.  But I still couldn’t control myself… so I’m sorry.”

   “You shouldn’t apologize!” Eri yelled, looking up at her girlfriend.  “I behaved very inappropriately… I’m sorry.”

   “Okay, we’re not getting anywhere here,” the yankii laughed.  She pulled herself over to her blushing girlfriend until their foreheads touched.  “Are you okay with what happened yesterday at the party?”

   “… Yes,” Eri admitted quietly.  “It… it felt good…”

   “And it makes me happy that you’re okay with it,” Reina said.  “There, it’s settled.  We’re both happy with last night.  So can we stop with the apologies?”

   “Mm-hmm,” Eri answered, smiling that sweet smile that Reina goes crazy for.  “I don’t regret anything.”

   “Me neither,” Reina sighed, embracing her beautiful lover.

   “I love you.”

   “I love you more.”

   “Wanna bet?”

   Eri looked up and kissed her younger girlfriend, bringing a smile to her lips.  Reina kissed her back gently and sighed contently.  Eri put her arms around the yankii and snuggled closer to her warmth.

**  **  ** 

   “And that’s when I was five years old, at Kameha’s birthday party.”

   “You look so cute!”

   Ai chuckled as she looked at the old picture in Risa’s childhood scrapbook.  The two lovers were sitting in Risa’s bed, side by side, both wearing T-shirts and sweatpants.  Since the drunk turtle was so persistent in holding onto her girlfriend, Risa suggested that Ai stay over for the night as well. 

   The leader had insisted that she sleep on the couch but the bean disagreed.  She had said she was willing to share her own bed with her girlfriend.  Then, Ai had teased her about how cruel that was again, which made Risa blush.  But in the end, the couple slept together anyway while holding on to each other all night.  And of course, Ai put all her focus into not getting carried away.

   “Yeah, I have a lot of pictures from when I was little,” Risa grinned.  “But… it kind of makes me regretful that I don’t have any pictures of Ai-chan.”

   “It is a shame,” Ai nodded, flipping through the scrapbook some more.  “That’s why it’s important to leave a mark while you can.”

   “I think I can agree with that,” Risa said.

   “… You don’t have a picture of me yet, either,” Ai realized.  “And I don’t have a picture of you.”

   “I have your ‘Everyday Everywhere’ single,” Risa giggled.

   “That’s not the same,” Ai said.  “Next time we see each other, I’ll give you something to remember me by.”

   “I don’t need a picture,” Risa said.  “I mean, I’ll always see you… right?”

   “Of course,” Ai laughed.  “But I miss you even while I sleep.  I don’t know about you, but I miss you even when you’re right next to me.”

   “That doesn’t make any sense,” Risa laughed.  The leader also smiled and put her arms around the bean.  She then kissed her playfully on her head.

   “It’s because I love you too much,” Ai grinned.  “I think I may be addicted.”

   “That’s not good,” Risa frowned.  “Society isn’t going to wait for you to get over a drug like me, Ai.”

   “Then I just won’t get over you,” Ai replied.  “I’m going to forever be addicted to Niigaki Risa, and love every moment of it.”

   “You’re ridiculous,” Risa laughed.  “But I still love you.”

   “I love you too,” Ai chuckled. 

   She placed one more kiss on top of the bean’s head.  Risa turned her head and placed a quick smooch on her girlfriend’s cheek as well.  They giggled together as they flipped through some more of the scrapbook on their laps.

When I read the first part of the chapter, I was like, "They did it?! And it wasn't written down in full detail? Nooo~!" But then I read some more and went, "Whew!" Thank god Eri remembers and is okay with everything.

And then some great, cute Takagaki. I wonder why Risa doesn't have any pics of 'Ai-chan'? Not enough time? I hope these two can rectify the no pictures thing soon enough.

Sorry, no comment replies again!  Only because there are so many lurkers and previous chapter comments and recent chapter comments,,, it's too hectic :panic: XD

But I DO read EVERY SINGLE post... you guys have NO IDEA how much they motivate me :twothumbs

But I got some bad news.... I have writer's block :shocked
AFter this chapter, I have no idea what to write... I actually had to force this one out of my brains too :(

Anyway, here's the chapter...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 65

   “And that’s a wrap!  Otsukaresama deshita!”

   “Otsukaresama deshita!”

   “Otsukareina!”

   The two High-Queen members walked off the set of Song Fighter after bidding farewell to the hosts and all the camera staff.  They were both wearing the red-and-black costumes for their new single, “Cinderella Complex”. 

   When they left the filming studio, both singers were met with their respective girlfriend.  Eri handed Reina a handkerchief after giving her a quick peck on the cheek.  Risa handed Ai a water bottle while keeping eye contact with her, as if they were communicating through telepathy.

   “Otsukaresama, High-Queen,” Eri said.  “That was a good recording.”

   “You guys were watching?” Ai asked.

   “We left at the last five minutes so we could get you that,” Risa said, pointing at the water bottle in the older singer’s hand. 

   “I see,” Ai nodded, kissing her girlfriend’s forehead.  “Arigatou.”

   “Can we go get something to eat?” Reina muttered.  “I haven’t eaten anything since last night so I could fit into this skirt.”

   “I made it a little bigger because you said the costume was too tight on you last time,” Eri said, surprised.

   “Yeah, but I didn’t know you were actually going to make it bigger,” Reina explained.  “That’s why I worked hard not make my skirt fall in the middle of recording.”

   “Okay, I get it,” the turtle laughed.  “You go change; I’ll run out to the convenience store and get something for you and Ai to eat.”

   “I don’t need anything, Eri,” the leader said.  “I wasn’t as self-conscious of my body as Reina was last night.”

   “Yeah, yeah, I’m the stupid one,” Reina muttered, walking away from her friends.  Eri followed behind her until she reached the elevator and went inside.

   “You should go change too, Ai,” Risa insisted.  “And I think you should still eat something.  It’s almost lunch time anyway.”

   “But I’m full already,” Ai joked.  “All I need is your ‘love~’.”  The singer sang the last word in the tune of “Everyday Everywhere”.

   “That was corny,” Risa laughed.  “You have to come up with better lines if you want to flatter me.”

   “Yeah, I guess I do,” Ai chuckled, as she took hold of the bean’s hand.  “Come on, I want to show you something.”

   The leader led her girlfriend down the hallway and into an empty room.  It was a huge meeting room, with an incredibly long table and rows of chairs.  The two girls walked to the head of the table and stood facing each other.

   “Remember when I said I was going to give you something to remember me by?” Ai asked.

   “Yes,” Risa answered, “but I really don’t need anything—”

   “Well, I already had it made so you have to take it,” Ai grinned. 

   She reached towards the back of her neck and unhooked one of the many necklaces.  She held it up for the younger girl to see.  After examining it closely, Risa realized that it was a circular locket with an engraved heart around her name.  The pendent was no bigger than a coin.  She opened it and there was a small picture of Ai, smiling at her.

   “It’s beautiful,” Risa gasped.  “Thank you, Ai… I love it.”

   “There’s only one in the world so you have to keep it safe,” Ai smiled.  She reached down her own chest and held up an identical pendent, except there was an engraved heart around the leader’s name.  “This one is mine, but I need your picture in it.  So get one for me by the next time we see each other, okay?”

   The bean nodded in response.  “Will you put it on for me?”

   Ai took hold of both ends of Risa’s necklace.  She reached her arms around Risa’s neck and put her head on her shoulders to check the hook, as though she was hugging her.  She then backed away, leaving the new pendent swinging around her girlfriend’s neck.

   “Just one question,” Risa said, narrowing her eyes.  “How much did you pay for this?  You didn’t overspend, did you?”

   “… I paid a reasonable amount for such a necklace,” Ai mumbled.  “Don’t worry about that, Risa.  I just wanted to get you something everlasting, that’s all.”

   “The price of ‘forever’ isn’t cheap,” the younger girl teased.

   “Now you’re just getting too figurative,” the leader laughed.  Risa also smiled as she put her arms around Ai’s neck and kissed her.

   “I really love it, thank you.” she whispered.  “You have no idea how happy I am.”

   “Why don’t you show me, then?” Ai grinned.

   Risa laughed softly as she placed another kiss upon Ai’s sweet lips.  They both started off slow; but soon, the two lovers were working their tongues consistently inside each others mouths.  Soon, Ai’s hold around Risa’s waist tightened and the younger girl moaned into their lip lock. 

   Seeing that her girlfriend was enjoying their make-out session, Ai pushed her back towards the table, knocking the head chair out of the way.  Risa reached behind and gripped the edge of the table, trying not to fall.  The leader shifted the younger girl up a little bit, encouraging her to sit on the table, which Risa obliged to.  Ai broke away from the kiss but kept her arms around Risa’s waist.

   “Do you want to continue the experiment from the party?” she questioned in a husky voice.  “See how far you can go?”

   “I guess we won’t know unless we try,” the bean whispered in response.

   The leader took that as her cue to press her lip against Risa’s neck, bringing out a sigh.  The younger girl leaned her head back more as she spread her legs apart to hold her girlfriend closer.  When Ai licked a little bit of her skin, Risa responded by moaning while biting down on her bottom lip. 

   The leader smirked as her kisses slowly traveled down to Risa’s chest.  Ai slipped her hands under the younger girl’s shirt and stroked her smooth skin, making the victim arch her back and gasp.  The singer reached up and played with her girlfriend’s bras straps before unclasping the hook, which took Risa by surprise.  But she didn’t think to stop her older girlfriend; she was feeling even braver than she did at the party. 

   So Risa sat still, breathing heavily, as Ai lifted her shirt up with her loose undergarment to reveal her bare chest.  She looked away, blushing, feeling embarrassed by the way she was exposed.  Subconsciously, she put her arms around herself in an attempt to conceal her body.  But Ai took hold of her wrists and put them around her own neck. 

   “Don’t be scared,” the leader whispered as she gently stroked her girlfriend’s perky breasts.  “You look beautiful.”

   “Like I said,” Risa gasped, her breathing getting heavier as Ai’s stroking turned into massaging, “you need better lines to convince me.”

   The leader chuckled as she placed a kiss upon her girlfriend’s chest.  She took in the sensitive nub into her mouth and lightly sucked on it, getting a loud cry that stopped midway in response.  Ai continued to flick her tongue over the spot as she massaged the other mold, causing Risa to tighten her jaws so as not to yell out too loudly.

   The leader felt that her girlfriend’s responses to her actions were better than she had expected, and decided to take a bolder approach.  She slowly slid her hand down from Risa’s chest, to her bare stomach, to her upper thighs, then to her…

   “There you two are; I was looking all over— GAH!”

   Risa screamed as she turned away from the open door, where the blushing turtle stood, covering her face.

   “Haven’t you ever heard of knocking?” Ai growled, hooking her girlfriend’s bra back on.

   “I didn’t see anything!” Eri babbled.  “I just heard your voices in here and I had something to ask you, Ai, and then—”

   “It’s okay, Kameha,” Risa interrupted, pulling down her shirt and jumping off the table.  “I, um, was about to leave anyway.  Uh, you can talk to Ai now.”

   With that, the bean quickly skittered out of the room, avoiding eye contact with her friend.  Eri kept her head down but continued to shake it back and forth, not sure of where to look.  Ai sighed as her girlfriend left, and glared at the intruder.

   “Is it urgent?” the leader growled.  “If it’s not, then I suggest you start begging for forgiveness—”

   “It’s urgent on my account!” the turtle yelled.  “I… I have a dilemma.  And I need your help, Ai.”

   “… Okay,” Ai sighed, her responsible nature taking over.  “What is it?”

   “Um… well… I…”

   “… Eri, just spit it out…”

   “You see, the thing is…”

   “… Yes…?”

   “What does Reina look for in sex?” Eri blurted out.

   “That’s easy, that’s— wait, what?” the leader yelled, doing a double-take.  “Did you just ask me what Reina looks for in… sex?”

   “I thought maybe you knew!” Eri insisted, blushing bright red.  “I mean, you’ve known her for such a long time…”

   “Hey, we’re not that close!” the leader shouted, feeling her cheeks getting hot from embarrassment.  “That area is your business!”

   “Not yet…” Eri mumbled.  “But I realized it’s going to be her birthday soon… so I thought… maybe…”

   “I don’t need the details!” Ai interrupted.

   “So, do you have any idea?” Eri pleaded.

   “Um… you’re asking the wrong person here…” Ai mumbled.  “I… uh… wouldn’t know what Reina’s taste in… sex… is.” 

   An awkward silence followed.  Both girls were staring down at their feet, not knowing what to do.  Eri felt terribly stupid for asking while Ai felt terribly stupid for speaking so gracelessly. 

   “Okay…” Eri mumbled.  “Um, thanks for listening.  Sorry for being a bother.”

   “No, no, not a bother at all!” Ai said, her voice flying up a couple octaves.  “So… uh… I guess I’ll go change now.”

   “Yeah… you should go change.”

   “Yeah, I should.”

   “Yeah…”

   After another awkward pause, the singer quickly shuffled out of the room.

   “That has got to be the most awkward moment of my entire life,” Ai thought, quickly marching down the hallway.  “But… those two are already at that stage, huh?  I wonder how long it will take for me and Risa…?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hot Takagaki make out session and then... D:Noo~ XP Why, Eri!? Why?! And then awkwardness XD

As for writers block, why don't you try going back to what inspired you in the first place. Or just take a break all together and come back to it later. Either way, all your fans will be here waiting for you.

Darnnit, Eri! Why'd you have to interrupt the hot takagaki make-out session!!  :angry1:
But aww, Eri's so clueless~ :wub: asking a question like that... I can't really stay mad at her. XD
Heh, if Risa doesn't like Ai's corny lines, I'll gladly take them~ :mon misch:
ACKK~ writer's block SUCKS!!  :banghead: think of something~ think of something... heh, or you can always write us some pervs in the mean time, LOL, until something comes up. :mon fyeah:
Hmm, what about writing about Sayu? I wonder how she's doing. :P
Good luck!  :omamori:

What I come bact too is an avalance of pure fluff  :inlove: Though poor Ai getting asked about what Riena's sex habbits are  :lol: I think that would be the most awkward moment of anyones life!

Hmm things are getting to happy and lovey, why do I get the feeling that Sayu's dastardly plan may soon come into play? :cry:

@kurosawa87: i FAIL at writing one shots... For this story, I actually only planned for 50 chapters in the first place and now look at it.... :nervous

@kano-chan: lol~ there will be more :D

@Ada: you have NO idea how much I want to write that TakaGAki perv. But there's a reason I'm not writing it now, so... :nervous

@Thor87: I hope to pull out all the lurkers XD

@rndmnwierd: Diligence is so important to me, I don't think I'll be able to bare taking a break :cry:  and i'm trying to rememeber what inspired me XD

@xanimefreak13x: omg SAYU. you just made something click in my head. Get ready for some angst :twisted:

@fallenxangel: Can't do one shots~ look how long this story is by itself XD

@oddball: Sorry i'm too fast... :( and YES I had an epiphany about sayu! :twisted:

@kawaii beam: ahh there's a reason for not writing a TakaGaki perv at the moment... so sorry! you'll have to wait longer (torture) XD :twisted:

@NekoMioko: well,  you don't need to wait any longer! XD

@Michi.Pinku: oh, Reina's birthday... :twisted: XD


That was the SHORTEST writer's block i ever had XD
You guys just broke down my Writer's block/wall :cow: XD 
Especially thanks to animefreak, because she mentioned Sayu for me! Now the plot will grow... XD

But until then, you can enjoy this TakaGaki chapter that I wrote to satisfy myself... I could've skipped to TanaKame but I decided to fit this in :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 66

   “Really, Ai?  Really?” Risa laughed.  “I thought you had some big surprise planned for me, but… it was this?”

   The couple was standing in front of a big colorful gate; it was the entrance of the same amusement park that they had gone to during the summer.  Ai had, once again, kidnapped Risa out of her house and dragged her into the city. 

   It was the yankii idol’s birthday today, so Eri had told them to keep out of her way.  So the leader had decided that she and her girlfriend might as well do something fun together too.  It was also to keep her mind off of what the turtle might have in store for Reina.

   “Well, our last trip here ended in a pretty bad way,” Ai explained.  “I thought that maybe we could have a better ending this time.”

   “It was a pretty bad ending,” Risa agreed.

   “So let’s overlap that with an even better memory,” the leader suggested, taking her girlfriend’s hand.  “Come on, let’s go have some fun!”

   The two girls entered the amusement park and faced various roller coasters and rides.  Risa was okay with the spinning rides, but when it came to height, she wasn’t so happy.

   “Ai, I don’t want to do this!” the bean yelled as the roller coaster inched uphill, little by little.  “This was a mistake, this was a mistake!”

   “It’ll be fine, Risa, I promise,” the leader laughed.

   “AI!  I’M GOING TO DIE!”

   “You’re not going to die.”

   “AI, BEFORE I DIE, I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU!”

   “I love you too, sweetheart.”

   “AI, I’M GOING TO DIE!”

   “Oh, we’re going down now.”

   “Ai—KYAAAAAAAAAAA!”

   The younger girl screamed at the top of her lungs as the roller coaster sped down the rails, while the older girl fist pumped and cheered.  Ai was almost sure that the blood circulation in her hand was cut off because of her girlfriend, but she didn’t care.  She just held her hand back just as tightly.

   “That was way too scary,” Risa gasped, after getting back on solid ground again.

   “I thought it was a little boring,” Ai said.  “Maybe it’s because we went on it twice…”

   “Ai, I really can’t understand you—”

   “Hey, look!  Isn’t that Takitty?”

   The two girls flipped around to find a group of students in uniforms, staring at them. 

   “Oh my gosh, it is Takahashi Ai!” one of the girls screamed.

   “I’m starting to think there’s a little déjà vu going on here,” Risa whispered.

   “Here’s another déjà vu,” Ai gulped.  “Run!”

   The leader grabbed her girlfriend’s hand and ran through the amusement park with her fans hot on their trail.  Risa started to recognize the food and game stands that they had encountered a couple months back. 

   “She can’t be going there… can she?” the bean thought.

   But Risa’s prediction was right.  Ai turned a couple corners and pulled the younger girl into a tight space between two walls: the place of their first kiss.  Ai peeked out, stuck her head back in, and sighed.

   “I’m kind of glad they appeared,” Ai laughed.  “I wondered if I would ever have the chance to come into these walls with you again.”

   “Why would you want to?” Risa questioned.

   “Like I said before,” Ai whispered, leaning into her girlfriend’s face, “we’re here so we can overlap the bad memories with good memories.”

   With that, the singer kissed her girlfriend passionately on the lips.  Risa let out a soft chuckle before kissing back with the same amount of effort.  It made her happy to know that they could satisfy their desires so easily now, instead of asking beforehand or wondering whether it was okay to kiss.  Ai smiled as she leaned her head back a little.

   “That should’ve been our first kiss,” she sighed.

   “I don’t think our first kiss was that bad,” Risa claimed.

   “You ran away and took a cab home,” Ai smirked.

   “… I guess it was kind of bad,” Risa smiled guiltily.  “But that’s the one part we’re not going to have a déjà vu about.”

   The bean pulled her girlfriend out of the tight space between the walls, and dragged her towards the Ferris wheel.  Fortunately, the line wasn’t that long so the pair was able to get into a car in a couple seconds.  Ai and Risa sat across from each other.  The door closed and they were levitated into the air slowly.

   “By the way,” the younger girl started, pulling out something from her jean pocket, “I have the picture you wanted.  I cut it up to fit the locket.”

   She reached out and took the pendent chained around Ai’s neck.  She opened the locket and placed the small circular picture inside, and snapped it shut.

   “Now, I’ll always be in your heart,” Risa grinned.  “And you’ll always be in mine.”

   “I like the sound of that,” Ai smiled.

   “Wow, look outside,” Risa breathed, turning to look out the window.  “You can see the entire park from in here, and we’re not even at the top yet.  This Ferris wheel is slower than I thought it would be.”

   “I don’t want to look outside,” Ai teased.  “I’m too busy looking at you.”

   “Corny~” Risa sang, laughing.  “But that was better than the other lines.”

   “Good,” Ai grinned.  “That means I’m showing improvement.”

   “Speaking of improvement,” Risa said, leaning in, “let me show you how much I’m improving.”

   “I’d like that,” Ai smiled, as she also leaned in.

   The younger girl pressed her lips against her girlfriend’s.  Ai slipped out of her seat and kneeled on the floor.  She reached her hands out towards the wall to balance herself, trapping Risa between her arms.  Their kiss got deeper and more passionate, as their tongues moved restlessly against each other.  Ai slipped one hand down to firmly cup her girlfriend’s perky breasts.  Risa moaned and broke away from the kiss.

   “Why do you always get to lead?” the bean grumbled.

   “I’m older than you,” Ai joked, planting one kiss on Risa’s neck. 

   “I really hate that excuse,” Risa growled playfully, her eyes turning dark.

   Before Ai could comprehend her girlfriend’s tone of voice, she found herself being pushed back into her seat.  Risa climbed on top of her girlfriend’s lap and straddled her.  She wound her arms around the idol’s neck and started to kiss her passionately.  The leader’s eyes opened wide in shock for a while, then she decided that she liked this other dominant side of her girlfriend, and kissed her back.

   “Is this the continuation of our experiment?” Ai mumbled into Risa’s mouth.

   “Our goal is to get a little further every time, isn’t it?” the younger girl answered.  “That’s the impression I had.”

   “I think I like that goal,” Ai grinned. 

   She tilted her head to the side and started to nibble on Risa’s ear, bringing out a moan in return.  But when she started to lick it, Risa slightly shifted away from her and dipped down to Ai’s neck.

   “Nuh-uh, I’m in charge today,” she whispered, as she licked her girlfriend’s smooth skin.

   Ai let out a small whimper.  Risa pulled down the collar of the singer’s shirt to get a little closer to her shoulder and collarbone.    She continued to work her lips and tongue while firmly cupping Ai’s breast, which made the older girl moan even louder.

   “Risa,” the singer breathed, “if you keep doing that, I won’t be able to control myself…”

   “Then don’t,” the younger girl replied.

   “Are you sure?” Ai smirked.  She placed her hand on Risa’s private area, over her tight jeans.  The bean flinched a little but didn’t make any move to move away.

   “Try me,” Risa dared. 

   She then blocked Ai’s mouth with her own and immediately plunged her tongue deep inside.  The leader was surprised, but she accepted her girlfriend’s challenge.  She started to move her hand against Risa’s crotch, causing the younger girl to moan into their kiss.  Ai only massaged gently at first, but soon couldn’t hold back anymore.  She unzipped Risa’s jeans and slipped her hand inside the denim material.  The younger girl gasped and broke their kiss; but instead of moving away, she started to work on Ai’s right ear.  Ai took this as a good sign, and started to rub the bean’s private area through the thin material.

   Everything surrounding the older girl was about Risa now.  All she could hear was Risa’s heavy breathing and moans in her ear.  All she could see was Risa’s long brown hair, traveling down her back.  All she could feel was Risa’s wetness through her damp underwear. 
But being the responsible one, Ai didn’t manage to completely tune out all her surroundings.  Soon enough, she sighed, removed her hand from Risa’s jeans, and zipped it up. 

   “Risa, you have to stop now,” Ai whispered huskily.

   “I don’t want to,” Risa mumbled, still kissing her girlfriend’s neck.  “I can go a little further.”

   “I’m sure you can, sweetheart,” Ai laughed softly.  “But you still have to stop.  We’re almost back on ground.”

   Only then, Risa realized that they were inside a Ferris wheel car and jumped away from her girlfriend, blushing.  The door opened and the amusement park attendant peeked inside.

   “That was one lap,” the happy lady said.  “Did you enjoy your ride?”

   “I know I enjoyed my ride,” Ai grinned, getting out of the car.  “How about you, Risa?”

   “It was a nice ride,” the younger girl answered, blushing while smiling her bright smile.  “Definitely a better memory than last time.”

aww, you don't have to thank me~ but I have to thank you LOTS for writing this AWESOME fic <3
OMGAH~ this chapter made me grin like an idiot... :on lol:  I couldn't keep myself from smiling so retardedly  :mon heh:

Ackk, you are so cruel to Takagaki! Leaving `em both hanging like that :O but the ending was hecka funny though~ :yep: Heh, Risa's losing it~

Oh and...WRITE THAT TANAKAME PERV *pulls out a dagger* :shifty: Even though I'll admit that I kinda want Takagaki to progress, you really shouldn't just pass up on some Tanakame!
make it...hot and throw in lots of description... ;] JK. what I mean is... take it slowly? I felt like the last one flew by too fast XD Well, it doesn't have to be too pervy also, if it's easier on you~ just like in this chapter is already awesome!

Oh shoot, you're really gonna write me that angst, huh? :shocked I don't know if I should be happy or sad, LOL, Takagaki's soooo cute and happy right now! but I do love me some angst  :twisted: Heh, I can totally imagine it right now...
*gakikame goes to visit sayu at the hospital*
*Risa goes in to hug Sayu*
Sayu: Risa! Do you know how much I've missed you!?!
Risa: Aww, Sayu, I missed you too! *Risa slowly pulls away from the hug*
As the pale hospital light illuminates the pair, Sayu's eyes immediately catches sight of a shimmering and glistening object that dangles loosely from Risa's neck.
Sayu: Risa... what is this?
Risa: Uhh...
Sayu: This isn't what I think it is... is it? YOU %*$(#&%*@^#$! <--jk!
*cue in b*tch fight*

But peeps around here would love to read another Tanakame perv xD
So I'll be willing to read it too 8D don't forget to pm it to me please?  :wub:

So we have TanaKame that already made that step, it was nice and all, and we also have TakaGaki that they've held their urges so much that it's gonna be scorching hot when they finally do it. Right?  :D
I don't know why but I have this idea that even though Eri and Reina are more perverted, (lol xD) AiGaki will be wilder 8D lmao

Glad you don't have any more writer's block <3 And I can't wait for the updates  :w00t:

HOLY CRAP!!!  :drool:
Those last two chapters were on the EDGE, almost falling off, of the cliff to the perv category  :bleed eyes:
AGH!! I loved them so much!!!  :inlove: :inlove:
The fact that Risa is getting closer and closer to it is driving me insane!!!  :frustrated:
I want her to get it over with!!!  :farofflook: But at the same time the foreplay up to it is oh so :lick:  :drool: I actually don't want her to do it yet cuz I like the foreplay more  XD





Oh and DON'T YOU DARE SKIP THAT TANAKAME PERV!!!  :scolding:
If you do, then I want an extra long TakaGaki, fully detailed, lots and lots of foreplay and more than one peak point for both in 2 or 3 different places in one day :mon evil:
:P
But still....please don't skip TanaKame  :cry: They're just as sweet  :wub:






P.S.
I'm working overtime at my job for the next couple weeks  :bleed eyes: So I don't get home until 4am every day  :fainted:
So I might not comment as much. But I WILL read...I will  :farofflook:

Can't wait for more chapters!! :thumbsup

I love Takagaki. I love Takagaki make-out sessions. I love it when Takagaki make-out sessions get farther every time. I also love short writer's blocks XD

Risa freaking out on the ride was a cute part and so was the replay of their first visit, this time with a much better ending.

Would you guys kill me if I skipped writing out TanaKame's perv and just imply it?
Yes, yes we would. :twisted: Kill you.

@Ada: I think I imagine TanaKame as doing it more often but TakaGaki doing it more wildly :twisted: XD

@oddball: lol really? I always feel like there's too much TanaKame... maybe I'm just deprived of TakaGaki :D

@Fushigidane: LOL I can tell you really want that perv from the way you thanked everybody's posts XD

@Swtme03: oh I'll definitely spend more time on TakaGaki when their time comes... :twisted: and you know there's always gonna be more chapters XD

@Thor87: TanaKame is pretty much set now, but they still have some hardships :D But yes, Sayu will stay evil :twisted:

@junejy: I won't! :lol:

@stefy: no, I will not XD

@rndmnwierd: No, you all just seemed so much eager for TakaGaki than TanaKame so I really was just asking XD


I am VERY happy because the comment replies alone took me 20 minutes to type up XD
And yes, i WILL be writing out the TanaKame perv~ take it as my last gift before I start to stir up the plot a little bit :D
And it's like practice so the TAkaGaki can be BETTER :twisted:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 67

   “Eri, we’re getting further and further away from civilization right now,” Reina groaned.  “Are you sure we’re going the right way to… wherever you’re taking me?”

   “I’m absolutely sure!” Eri insisted, burying her head into the map.  “Okay, turn left here.”

   “But it’s not even a road anymore!” the yankii yelled.  “There’s only dirt here!”

   The two lovers were driving in the singer’s silver sports car down an empty highway.  Eri was taking Reina out for her birthday, and she had something special planned.  But being as they were practically in the middle of nowhere, Reina was getting irritated.

   “Trust me; it’s this way,” the turtle giggled.

   “I’m not sure if I can trust you with that map anymore,” Reina grumbled.  “I don’t even know where we’re going!”

   “Please?” Eri whispered, lightly stroking her girlfriend’s cheek with the tip of her fingers.  “For me?”

   “…Oh, you’re just plain devious,” the younger girl muttered, as she turned into the dirt trail.

   “It’s a talent,” Eri laughed.  “We’re almost there, so just hold on until then, Reina-chan.”

   Soon enough, the dirt trail turned into a concrete road again as they reached a small parking lot.  Reina and Eri got out of the car.  The singer had sunglasses on, even though it was the middle of autumn.

   “Where are we?” Reina asked.

   “Look over there!” Eri said, pointing to the edge of the parking lot.

   The concrete area ended with trails of autumn leaves downhill.  Eri pulled her girlfriend towards the wooden steps and ran down.  As soon as she hit solid ground again, Reina saw a vast lake, surrounded with red, orange, and yellow-coated trees.  There was a group of people gathered on the small deck, leading into the water.  Reina could see a couple row boats scattered around in the water.

   “This is your surprise?” the idol gasped.

   “I figured it would be a nice way to take in the autumn season,” Eri grinned.  “The trees are really pretty and the water is really clean so… Do you like it?”

   “I think it’s lovely,” Reina smiled, taking her sunglasses off.  “Thank you.”  She placed a single kiss upon Eri’s lips. 

   “Come on,” Eri giggled, pulling her girlfriend towards the deck.  “I have us reserved, so we should be able to get a boat right away.”

   Surely enough, the couple was in a row boat together in no time.  Reina insisted that she would row, but Eri refused to make her girlfriend work on her birthday. 

   “It really is beautiful here,” the younger girl breathed.  “I can’t believe I never really appreciated my own season before.”

   “I wanted to take you away from all the publicity for today,” Eri said.  “Something more peaceful, you know?”

   “Yes, I really do like this,” Reina smiled.  “Arigatou.”

   The yankii leaned into her girlfriend and gave her another kiss on the lips.  Eri smiled while watching her girlfriend being bewildered by the scenery around her.

   “Are your arms getting tired?” Reina suddenly asked.

   “I’m okay,” the turtle answered.  But the truth was that she was exhausted.

   “Here, I’ll row from now on,” Reina said, reaching for the oars.

   “You can’t row unless you’re in the seat I’m in, Reina-chan,” Eri chuckled.

   “Then we’ll just switch.”

   “No, wait!  You’re not supposed to stand up like that—”

   But it was too late.  Reina started getting up, which rocked the small boat and eventually tipped it over, sending the couple into the water.  Eri tried to open her eyes underwater but she couldn’t.  She felt an arm around her waist pulling her up to the surface.  The turtle met the air with a loud gasp, feeling the stinging of water up her nose.

   “Reina-chan!” she shrilled.

   “Sorry, sorry!” the yankii laughed.  She moved her girlfriend’s wet bangs out of the way, allowing Eri to open her eyes.  “Are you okay, baby?”

   “Do you think I’m okay?” Eri yelled.  Her actions didn’t match her angry tone of voice, because she wound her arms around Reina so as not to sink.

   “I can tell you’re fine from the way you’re screaming at me,” the younger girl laughed again. 

   “… You’re ridiculous,” Eri grumbled.  “But I love you anyway.”

   “I know you do,” Reina grinned.  “Now let’s get out of here before we catch a cold.”

**  **  ** 

   Reina walked out of the bathroom and into her bedroom where Eri was standing there with a large towel around her body.

   “The bath is ready,” the yankii announced.  “You can go in now, Eri.”

   “Um… you can go in first, Reina-chan,” Eri said quietly.  “I’ll go after you.”

   “Are you sure?”

   “Yeah, I’m sure!  Go on, now.  I don’t want you to catch a cold.”

   Reina narrowed her eyes in suspicion, but she left the room obediently.  Eri made sure the bedroom door closed before she started stripping down her drenched clothes.  She even stripped out of the new black lingerie that she bought for Reina’s benefit.

   She was in High-Queen’s apartment now, so that she could dry herself before leaving.  But Eri didn’t plan to leave; she planned to stay right there, with her girlfriend, all night long.  Although her plan to show herself to Reina in the sexy lingerie was over now, Eri had another plan in mind.

   “I really hope I can do this right…” the turtle thought, blushing.  “She won’t think I’m being stupid, right?

   Although she still had doubts in her head, Eri covered herself with the towel and walked out of the bedroom.  She found the bathroom door unlocked so she immediately walked in.

   “Eri?” Reina called. 

   The idol was submerged inside the bathtub.  She turned around to find her girlfriend, blushing and clad in only a towel.  The yankii’s eyes popped wide open in shock as her own cheeks started to turn light pink.

   “I… I decided that it would be faster if we take a bath together,” Eri said hesitantly, refusing to meet her lover’s eyes.  “Um… may I?”

   “Uh… yeah… um… sure,” Reina mumbled, working hard not to get a nosebleed.  “She’s really testing my patience now!

   Eri inhaled and exhaled to calm herself down as she dropped the towel from around her body.  As the older girl walked over, got into the tub, and balled herself up across the yankii, Reina didn’t take a single eye off of Eri’s bare body. 

   “You have a nice figure, Reina-chan,” Eri commented, staring at her girlfriend’s perky breasts.  “I guess it’s only natural, the way you work out.”

   “Um… yeah, I guess…” Reina mumbled.  “But I like your body better.”

   “Really?” Eri said, cocking her head to the side.  She slowly changed her position into a kneel and started to inch closer and closer to her girlfriend until she was practically on top of her.  “But I think you have a slender body.”

   “Uh, yeah…” Reina stuttered, feeling her cheeks burning up.  “Um, Eri… you’re, ah… little too close…”

   “Since when is there such a thing as ‘too close’ between us?” 

   With that, the older girl claimed the yankii’s lips, moving diligently against the softness.  Reina’s hands stayed paralyzed to her sides.  But Eri’s hands traveled down from her girlfriend’s face, to her shoulders, and to her chest.  When the older girl’s leg brushed over her sensitive spot, Reina broke their kiss and pushed her girlfriend away.

   “I, uh, I think I’ll get out of bath now,” Reina stuttered. 

   “So soon?” the turtle asked innocently.

   “Yeah, um… I’m all washed up already,” the yankii mumbled. 

   She slowly got out of the tub, conscious of her girlfriend’s eye on her naked body.  Reina grabbed a towel from the rack and ran out of the bathroom and into her own room.  She grabbed her undergarments, a t-shirt, and sweatpants from her closet and put it on.  She then parched down at the edge of her bed and stared into random space.

   “Damn it!” Reina thought.  “How am I supposed to hold back if she approaches me like that?  If she thinks I have that much self-control… she better leave soon because she’s wrong.

All righties. I am here to post, finally.  XD I really love the past few chapters. It was really sweet how Ai gave Risa a pendant with her picture in it. That way, they could be in each other's hearts forever~ :wub: Yosh, TakaGaki moment in ferris wheel was too hot. ;)

And Kamei being the seductive one? Now, this is getting seriously interesting. It must be hard for Reina to keep her self control. I have an idea, just give in!

Btw, please don't "abandon" Tanakamei even if you prefer Takagaki more. :cry: There's a lot of Tanakamei fans, like me, who would really appreciate it if you would write as many Tanakamei as Takagaki. Truthfully, I was a little sad at first when you "got over" Tanakamei so quick so you can get on with Takagaki. But that's all right, because all writers have their preferences. Just thought I'd share a bit of my opinion. I can't wait for the next chapter~ :P

Homina homina homina hawt. Eri has unleashed a beast, methinks, a hungry sex kitten, a growling vixen, and she is the willing prey. Though, I can't wait for the chapter where Eri takes the lead. :inlove:

Now, for Takagaki's turn. *sits cross legged and waits patiently*

Haha, I LOLed at "non-Pervers" for some reason. It just sounds so funny. :lol:

OMGAH~ this chapter's sooo CUTE!  :wriggly: and oh, it was all kinds of hot too~ but cuteness and sweetness of it just totally won me over :luvluv1:
for some reason I imagined that... Eri would crawl on top of Reina after she dropped her towel, just to mess the heck outta Reina's brain  :twisted:

Let's see... my reactions for this chapter... :mon inluv:  :mon one: :mon bleed2:

*cue in Eri's questioning*:mon huh2:   Me= :mon duh: :mon suspect:

and more questioning... Me= :mon wind: :mon ehh:
way to break the mood Eri XD I'm quite surprised that Reina didn't get irritated at her questioning, ahaha, cuz I know I was! I tend to scroll down, line by line, at the end of the page/screen when I read fanfics, so yeah... it was like, "Eri you... :mon headbang: stop asking so many questions, UGH!!" Haha, I can't stay mad her though.
LOL~ Did Eri forget about what happened at the party?  :roll:

Ahh~ The last line was sooo much love! :mon lovelaff: Aww, the ending was so sweet~  :wub:

Rofl. I did a double-take when I read the Non-Pervers cus for a moment, I thought you might have changed the chapter in your blog a bit so it wouldn't be THAT perverted. But I'm sure it's the same. That was an extremely hot session. :luvluv1:

At first I was like, naughty Eri trying to seduce Reina. :glasses:
Then, I fainted when Eri dropped her towel. :imdead:
It was super sweet when Eri was declaring that she wants Reina for her first. :luvluv2:
The rest..... :on bleed:
Lastly, I want to thank you sooo mcuh for writing Tanakamei. :kneelbow:

Can't wait for the next chapter~ :)

@yellow: that's what love is all about~ being first(?)  XD

@gab98: oh i'll get to it... someday :P

@xkennax_love: oh yes, the TakaGaki impatience... :D

@rndmnwierd: Patience is good, it brings fortune XD

@xanimefreak13x: Well, you have to understand Eri's point of view... her girlfriend was once on a wild "sex" rage cuz of Aika... she's sad about it but she still loves Reina too much to let that bother her  :D

@sapphire: ohno, it's the same chapter :P glad you liked ti~ :lol:


I love how the comments increase after a perv, that says something about ALL of you... :twisted:  jkjk~ :grin:

So... this fic is about to get longer... because the next chapter i'm about to post wasn't supposed to be the next chapter... :?
I fit another whole section of a story in because you guys were all so desperate for TakaGaki...  :D
So dont blame me if this fic goes over 100 chapters :cry:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 69

   “Good morning, everyone!” Eri exclaimed, skipping into the meeting room with Reina right behind her.

   “Good morning to you too, Kamei-san,” Tsunku laughed.  “Did something good happen?”

   “Something very good happened,” Eri giggled, glancing at her girlfriend who was trying to seem indifferent.  “But it’s a secret.”

   “You can’t even tell me?” asked Risa, who was already sitting in her seat with Ai across from her.  “I thought I was your best friend!”

   “I’ll tell you later,” Eri smiled.  “But for now, we have a meeting to go through, don’t we, Tsunku-san?”

   “Yes we do, please leave personal conversations out of this room, Niigaki-san,” Tsunku grinned.

   “Sorry…” Risa mumbled.  Ai laughed under her breath while Reina smirked.

   “So, let’s start off by congratulating High-Queen for topping the charts again with ‘Cinderella Complex’,” Tsunku announced.  “Good work, girls.”

   “Arigatou gozaimasu,” the singers said in unison.

   “So before we start planning out the next single,” Tsunku continued, “I decided to give you girls a vacation.”

   The room fell silent.  Eri gasped excitedly while her friend nodded approvingly.  But Ai and Reina scowled.

   “We’re not buying that, Tsunku-san,” Ai muttered.  “Last time you said we were going on a vacation, you sent us out to Hokkaido for a PB.  We didn’t even have time to enjoy ourselves.”

   “Well, it’s for a PB this time too…” Tsunku mumbled.

   “Annoying old man,” Reina grumbled under her breath. 

   “But I’m sending you girls to Hawaii this time,” the producer announced brightly.  “You’re leaving in one week, and you’ll be staying for three days, so you girls will definitely have time to enjoy yourselves this time.”

   “How many staff members?” Reina questioned.

   “Couple cameramen, make-up artist, fashion coordinator...” Tsunku pointed at Eri when he said the last staff title.  “The usual bunch.”  Reina leaned back into her chair, satisfied with the subtle mentioning of her girlfriend.

   “What about Risa?” Ai said in a low voice.  “She’s not going?”

   “I don’t have a reason to go, Ai,” Risa whispered.

   “I’m not leaving any of my friends behind,” Ai said, giving a determined look to her producer.  “I’ll pay for Risa’s expense, if I have to.”

   “No, Ai,” Risa said through her teeth.

   “You don’t have to, Takahashi,” Tsunku grinned.  “I believe Niigaki-san deserves a lot of credit for High-Queen’s recent success; she’s going to go with you.”

   “Really?” Risa asked, her eyes widening.  “I’m going to Hawaii?”

   “Of course you should be going to Hawaii,” Tsunku chuckled.  “You deserve it.  But I would like it if you think of this as your raise.”

   “I’ll take it!” the bean yelled happily.

   “Good,” Tsunku grinned.  He checked his watch and started to walk out of the room.  “I have a different business to attend to now.  Meeting over.”

   “That’s great, Risa-chan!” Eri squealed.  “We’re all going to Hawaii together; it’ll be so much fun!”

   “I’m sure it will be,” Risa laughed.  “But before that, why don’t you tell me the reason you’re so happy today, hm?”

   “Yeah, Eri, why don’t you tell her?” Ai smirked.  Eri blushed and looked away to the side.

   “Ai, can I talk to you for a moment?” Reina growled.

   “Fine,” Ai laughed.  “We’ll be waiting outside.”

   The two idols walked out of the room and closed the door behind.  Reina whipped around and glared at her leader.

   “You will not tease Eri about this,” the yankii growled.  “It was her first; give her a break.”

   “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Ai said innocently.  “Why would I tease Eri?  Could it be… you two did something… inappropriate?”  She made an over-exaggerated gasp.

   “Drop the act, Ai,” Reina rolled her eyes.  “You know what happened last night between me and Eri; you’re not stupid.”

   “No, I’m not,” Ai laughed.  A devilish grin appeared on her face.  “So how was it?  Did she like it?  Did her skin feel smooth and soft~?”

   “Don’t talk about my girlfriend like that!” Reina yelled, lightly punching her leader on her shoulders.  “Besides, you and Gaki aren’t so far off on that topic either.”

   “We’re almost there, I guess,” Ai sighed.  “Self-control is just so hard sometimes.”

   “I know what you mean,” the yankii grinned.  “Lucky I don’t have to hold back anymore.”

   “Sometimes, I just want to do it right then and there,” Ai said.  “But I want her to be prepared as well…”  She paused, then smiled.  “But it seems like your lover might be educating my girl about this topic a little.  Maybe that’ll convince her…?”

   “Well…” Reina hesitated, staring down at the floor, “Eri did seem pretty satisfied… she was happy, I think.”

   “Aw, how cute, Reina~” Ai teased.

   “Shut up,” the yankii mumbled.

   “Well,” the leader laughed, “if Eri can help Risa relax a little, maybe we can get to that level soon…”

**  **  ** 

   “You what?” Risa yelled, her face turning red.  “You… and… Reina… had… that… last night?”

   “You know, ‘sex’ isn’t a bad word, Risa-chan,” Eri giggled.

   “Wow,” Risa breathed.  “You guys went that far already?”

   “Because I feel like Reina-chan really is the one, you know?” Eri sighed contently, a big smile on her face.  “I don’t regret giving myself to her at all.”

   “Wow…” Risa breathed again. 

   “You and Ai are also along that stage, aren’t you?” Eri questioned.

   “… We’re almost there…” the bean mumbled.  “Kameha, can I ask you something?”

   “What is it?”

   “Did it… did it hurt?”

   “It hurt a lot.  It was the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced.”

   “Oh, that makes me feel better,” Risa squeaked.

   “Well, it only hurt at first,” Eri laughed.  “You get used to it.  Then it starts to feel really good, and then you can’t help but start crying out—”

   “I don’t need details!” Risa complained.  “It’s just… I love Ai and I really do want to give her my all but… I’m scared.”

   “I was scared too,” Eri whispered, taking a more serious tone of voice.  “But I knew Reina-chan wouldn’t do anything to hurt me; she loves me too much.  And Ai loves you too, so I’m sure she’ll be gentle with you.”

   “I guess… I do trust her…”

   “And the perfect chance for you and Ai to take the next step is coming up!” Eri grinned.  “I think Hawaii is a pretty romantic location, don’t you?”

   “Next week?” Risa said, her eyes widening in shock.  “But, but I’m not ready!  It’s too soon, I think, I—”

   “Risa-chan, if you put it off any longer, you’ll never get to it,” Eri said firmly.  “You and Ai love each other, probably more than heaven and earth itself.  You’re ready and Ai is definitely ready, I think.”

   “… I guess you’re right,” Risa answered.  She clenched her fists.  “Okay!  I’m going to do it; I’ll let Ai make me hers when we go to Hawaii… If I truly love her, I shouldn’t be scared.

Noooo, we're not gonna blame you for anything if this goes over 100 chapters! You'll get a pat on the back for being so awesome instead~  :cow::tama-music:

Post by: Beecubed on August 08, 2010, 01:21:23 PM
Wow....

SarangAi, you sure cooking up a storm with this fic!  :P I just had to check it out. The fact that TakaGaki is the leading couple here is SUCH a big plus, on top of everything else about the story.

OK, so I finished reading I think... yesterday? I got my ebook reader, so I've been converting JPH!P fanfics to pdf and reading them during my train trips  :nervous
So yeah, wow, thanks a lot for keeping me entertained during these usually uneventful rides. I loved every moment of this fic.  :love: You really know how to hook in your readers!  :heart:

One thing I want to say: THANK YOU FOR UPDATING SO QUICKLY!  :bow:
I really think this is how you've managed to keep so many people interested. The chapters are pretty short, but they are sweet, and all relevant to the developing characters and the story. Great job with what you've done so far!  :thumbsup

Now, I'm a much bigger fan of TakaGaki than I am of Tanakame, but I have to say I have enjoyed Tanakame as much as (if not more!) than TakaGaki. I love love love how things started off and how things slowly developed between Eri and Reina. The Aika/Reina thing was awesome to read, and I LOVE how Reina kept calling Eri an idiot. SO FREAKING CUTE!  :inlove:

I just love Reina in your story. She gave me many LOL moments.

Here are some quotes from her I particularly like:


Quote
“No, not you, her!” Reina yelled as she pointed at the flabbergasted turtle.  “The hopelessly idiotic one… you.”  The yankii kept her head down, just in case she was blushing.

 :rofl:
Way to show your interest in somebody, Reina  :grin:
Is that cute or is that cute?


Quote
“Where’s Risa?” Reina asked.  “I mean, I could take her along as well… and tell her myself that I’ll… you know… take good care of you.”

Awwwwwwwww  :wriggly:


Quote
“What?” Reina asked, irritated.  She enjoyed listening to her girlfriend rant, even though half of it was incomprehensible.

Eri blabbering, Reina in love.  :yep: :heart:

And holy crap with all the pervy chapters lately! Tanakame are so so very frisky, aren't they? I didn't have that image of Eri at first, but whoa can she be a naughty one  :twisted:

Chapter 63 =  :on bleed:

But I have to say, I adore the fact that TakaGaki are taking it more slowly, though it seems pretty soon things are really going to heat up between them. <333 I'm also constantly wondering how Gaki is going to react when she finds out Ai is that Ai-chan she's been aching over for so long...

My favourite moment of the whole fanfic so far also has to be the chapter where Ai-chan finally confesses and they take their first step as a couple. With Koi ING playing in the background, that was just amazing!  :love:

Hmmm... so much fluff lately (I'm not complaining though!), I'm sure Sayu is going to smash the peace into smithereens pretty soon. She's so evil  :tama-mad:


*cue in Eri's questioning*:mon huh2:   Me= :mon duh: :mon suspect:

and more questioning... Me= :mon wind: :mon ehh:
way to break the mood Eri XD I'm quite surprised that Reina didn't get irritated at her questioning, ahaha, cuz I know I was! I tend to scroll down, line by line, at the end of the page/screen when I read fanfics, so yeah... it was like, "Eri you... :mon headbang: stop asking so many questions, UGH!!" Haha, I can't stay mad her though.


Waaaaaaaaaah?

You really think that?  :lol:

We're on opposite ends of the scale then! Because those questions Eri asked, despite being disruptive, for me they gave the perv much more meaning. I'm not the type to read isolated pervs; I like them to be meaningful, to contain emotion... or is that just me and my warped views of love making  :nervous This first time obviously means a lot to Eri, and she wants to get to know Reina on a more emotionally intimate level too! Those questions were lovely  :wub:

Reina wasn't irritated by those questions because she loves Eri enough to consider what she has to say, she loves Eri enough to listen to her, and not just to rush into sex blindly on some raging hormonal high  :lol:

SarangAi, you definitely should keep up with that kind of stuff, it made the perv a whole lot more sweet and enjoyable for me!  :twothumbs

I just felt like I had to defend Eri on that account, gomen ne...  XD

OK, to quickly sum up: you have a new reader here.  :love:
Thanks so much for sharing this story, thanks for spreading the TakaGaki/Tanakame love, and thank you for being such a consistent updater.

Looking forward to the next update in HAWAIIIII!  :drool: :wub: :inlove:

I'm sorry for the super short chapter... This is really as short as it gets... :(
I was depressed all day today cuz of the graduation news... can't blame me, huh? :cry:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 70

   “Reina-chan… no, stop that!  We’re in a public place…ah!”

   “Are you sure you want me to stop?”

   “Mou…”

   “Hey, could you guys keep it down back there?”

   Ai finally turned around and glared at the turtle-feline couple.  Reina’s hand was in Eri’s crotch while the older girl didn’t seem to be able to decide whether to keep her legs together or apart.  Risa cleared her throat awkwardly and kept her gaze forward.

   “Can’t you at least wait until you’re in the privacy of your own room?” Ai growled at her partner.  “Come on, we’re in a plane right now!”

   “Eri didn’t seem to hate it,” Reina smirked.  “Isn’t that right, baby?”  Her finger pressed against the older girl’s sensitive area again, causing her to whimper.

   “I don’t care if she hates it or not!” Ai whispered furiously.  “Keep your hands to yourself, yankii girl!”

   “Ouch, that hurt,” Reina laughed.  But she removed her hand from its current location and instead put her arm around her girlfriend, and kissed her cheek.

   “You’re terrible,” Eri mumbled, blushing.

   “Terrible because I did it in the first place, or terrible because I stopped?” Reina grinned.

   “Enough!” Ai growled.  “I don’t want to hear another sick joke from you for the rest of the plane ride, Reina!”

   “Okay, fine,” the yankii sighed.  “I’m tired anyway; I think I want to sleep.” 

   The younger girl leaned her head on the turtle’s shoulder and closed her eyes.  Eri shot a thankful glance at the High-Queen leader and sighed.

   Ai turned back and dropped down to her own seat next to the bean.  Risa was looking through a magazine but the idol could tell she wasn’t really reading it.  The younger girl was fidgeting in her seat a little, and her expression was stoned.

   “What’s wrong, Risa?” Ai asked quietly.  “Are you uncomfortable?”

   “How can I be uncomfortable,” Risa mumbled.  “This is the business class.”

   “I didn’t mean it that way,” Ai chuckled.  “There’s something bothering you.”

   “No, nothing is bothering me,” Risa said.

   But in reality, the bean’s head was filled with what was going to happen in Hawaii.  For the past week, she and Eri had been on the hunt for cute undergarments that Risa could wear on her special night.  The bean just wanted something simple and cute, but her fashion-raged friend had kept on insisting that she wear something more “mature”. 

   In the end, Risa could not hold the turtle back and ended up buying couple sets of lingerie.  Eri had guaranteed that this would make Ai happy; Risa could only hope.

   “Are you sure, darling?” Ai asked worriedly.  “You look kind of nervous.”

   “I’m fine, Ai,” Risa laughed, trying to sound nonchalant and failing miserably.  “I’m just excited for Hawaii, that’s all.”

   “I guess I’m excited too,” the idol answered, deciding to believe Risa for her benefit.  “We’ll have lots of fun in Hawaii.  If there’s anything you want, you have to tell me.”

   “Why, so you can spend ten times the money than what something actually costs?” the bean teased.  “No way, uh-uh.”

   “I don’t get why money is such a big deal to you,” Ai moaned.

   “I don’t get why money isn’t such a big deal to you,” Risa shot back.

   “…Okay, I lost,” the leader laughed.  She put her arms around her girlfriend who willingly leaned on her shoulder.  “When we land, it’s going to be morning there.  We’ll have the whole day to ourselves before the photo shoot starts the next day, so get some sleep now, okay?”

   “Okay,” Risa yawned.  “You sleep too.”

   “I will,” Ai whispered softly.  “Let’s make good memories together in Hawaii…”

   “Mm-hm… let’s…” Risa mumbled back.  The image of the lingerie popped into her head but she ignored it.

   The two lovers fell asleep in each other’s arms, thinking about the possible events in the future.  But after a little while, the leader was awakened by something, while Risa slept on.

   “Ah!  Reina-chan, stop that!”

   “Reina, I’m gonna punch you.”

   “Okay, okay!”

Even if the turtle and the pandas graduate, i'm still going to write them! :fainted: :cool1:

Eri's news is filling me up with mixed feelings whenever I read a TanaKame fic now  :(
I'm going to miss the two together. Eri wasn't exactly my favourite, but my love for 6th gen meant she was one of the members I cared more for, and even though my other favourites are still in the group (for now) it's just not going to be the same. Maybe Eri could go away and concentrate on her treatment, meanwhile Sayu and Reina graduate from MM and the three can reunite in a 6th gen unit  :D  Trying to cheer myself up.


Back to the story.  :lol: at how Reina is unable to keep her hands off Eri. Not that it exactly looks like Eri is all so reluctant; if it wasn't in a plane maybe Eri would be more willing  :twisted:

It took me a while to get the resolve and willpower to read this... it was just too hard to bring myself to imagine everything in head after the news of Eri's graduation...  :mon cry:
so this comment might not be that insightful, but I hope you will keep fighting on and write this story til its end :mon yeah:
Everything's been pretty much hurting for me for almost a day now, so I really don't know how long I can hold out. I'm haven't been taking the news really well :cry:
If I can't get over it and continue reading, just remember I'm always here supporting you in my heart, even if I won't be commenting as much anymore. :) I'll try my best though!

@the chapter: Lol at the sexy lingerie plan! I wonder how well it would work out this time? :roll:

“How can I be uncomfortable,” Risa mumbled.
haha, gakisan... well maybe because you were getting turned on by the hot Tanakame action behind you :twisted: :roll: jk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 71

   “On the count of three, okay?”

   The rest of the girls nodded at the leader’s words.  The four friends were on the sandy beach, wrapped up in large towels.  They were all in their bikinis already, and were preparing to reveal themselves to each other.

   When they arrived in Hawaii, it was a sunny morning.  As soon as they dropped off their things at the nearby hotel and ate lunch, the four girls had run down to the beach to enjoy themselves for the rest of the day.

   “Ready?” Ai said.  “One… two…”

   “Wait!” Eri cried out.

   “What’s wrong, baby?” Reina questioned.

   “Is it one, two, three then take the towel off, or is it one, two, and take it off at three?” the turtle contemplated seriously.

   “Does it matter?” Ai said, raising an eyebrow.

   “No, Kameha’s got a good point!” Risa shrilled nervously.  “Let’s do one, two, three, then take it off, okay?”

   “Whatever makes you happy,” Ai said, grinning.  “So ready?  One… two… three!”

   All four girls dropped their towels at the same time.  They all first examined the other girls’ attire first, and then turned their eyes towards their respective lovers.

   Ai was wearing a red, white, and navy blue stripped bikini; it made her voluminous chest look even bigger.  Reina had on a lacy, white and orange bikini with a skirt at the bottom; it complemented her light brown hair nicely.  Eri was wearing a light blue bikini with white stars decorated on it; it definitely gave off the bright feeling of the turtle.  Risa was wearing a white bikini with colorful tiny patterns; it was something that Eri had picked out for her.

   “I think I like what I see,” Reina smirked, extending her arms towards her girlfriend. 

   “Uh-uh,” Eri said, backing away.  “If you want to hug me in this, you’ll have to catch me first!”

   With that, the world’s fastest turtle dashed towards the water.  The yankii grinned and happily chased after her, leaving her leader behind with the bean.  Risa kept her gaze down on the sand; wearing the bikini in front of Ai was making her uncomfortable.  In a way, it continuously reminded her of the lingerie in her trunk, and that only made the bean blush even more.

   “Risa,” Ai started, worriedly, “are you alright?  You look kind of tired…”

   “I’m fine,” the younger girl mumbled.

   “Are you sure?”  The idol lifted her girlfriend’s chin, forcing her to make eye contact with her.  “We can go back to the hotel room, if you’d like.”

   “I’m fine, really!” Risa yelled, grabbing Ai’s hand and pulling it away from her face.  She planned to drop her lover’s hand but the older girl tangled her fingers with hers before she could do so. 

   “Am I supposed to believe that because I love you?” Ai questioned, leaning in to her girlfriend.  “Or am I supposed to doubt that because I love you and I care about you?”

   “I’m fine, Ai,” Risa sighed.  “I guess… I’m just uneasy.”

   “Why are you uneasy?” the leader leaned her head forward.

   “Because… I’m scared,” the bean mumbled, unable to concentrate because of Ai’s beauty simply blinding her.

   “Why are you scared?” Ai murmured, leaning in even closer.

   “Because…” Risa mumbled again.  But as Ai’s lips were about to touch her, the younger girl pushed her back and jumped away.  “Because Kameha scared the hell out of me with her stories, that’s why!”

   Then, Risa made a run for the water, after her friend and the yankii idol.  Ai cocked her head to the side, but decided that they would continue this conversation later, and went to join her friends in the water.

   Reina splashed the cold water on her girlfriend, causing Eri to scream.  The yankii then proceeded to hug the turtle from her back and kissed her neck.

   “Was that cold?  I’ll warm you up…” Reina purred.

   “I’m not sure whether to be thankful to you, or frightened of you,” Eri grumbled.

   “I’ll take revenge for you, Eri,” Ai offered.  She pulled her partner away from her lover and pushed her towards the deep side of the water.  Reina stumbled and fell in, getting drenched from head to toe.

   “Ai!” the yankii shouted angrily.

   “That’s for being so loud on the plane!” Ai laughed.  Risa also started to laugh quietly as Eri giggled behind them.  Reina scowled.

   “I’m going to get you for that,” the younger idol growled. 

   She picked herself up and started to furiously splash water towards her leader.  Ai screamed and started to splash back with Risa helping.  Eri skittered behind Reina and also tried to help.  In the end, they all ended up soaking wet from head to toe, and they all laughed it off.

   At that moment, from the corner of her eye, Risa spotted a couple guys staring at them from a few feet away, on the sand.  The bean leaned into her girlfriend and whispered in her ear.

   “Ai, those guys are staring at you,” she said.  “Maybe they recognized you.”

   The older girl turned around, gazed at where Risa and indicated, turned back, and smirked.

   “Oh, they’re not staring at me,” Ai grinned.  “They’re staring at you.”

   “Me?” Risa said, confused.  “Why me?”

   “You’re a beautiful girl,” Ai shrugged.  “And you look pretty astounding in that bikini, my dear.  I’m almost considering taking you back to the hotel so nobody else would be able to see you in that.”

   “Oh, you’ll see me in something that should be much more enticing… hopefully,” Risa thought, looking down. 

   “Girls!  Come out of the water for a while!”

   The two couples turned around and spotted one of the photo shoot directing staff.  Ai and Reina quickly shuffled out of the water with Risa and Eri right behind them.

   “Is something wrong?” Ai questioned.

   “We decided to add a couple more shots for the photo book, because one of our venues closed,” the lady said.  “We found a different scene to do, but they can only lend us the place tonight.”

   “Just get to the point already…” Reina grumbled under her breath.  But then, she smiled and masked her irritation.  “So, Staff-san, what does this mean?”

   “It means we’ll have to start shooting today,” the lady announced.  “We can only have the place during late evening, so I’m sorry to say that you girls won’t be getting much sleep tonight.”

   “What?” Risa yelled, her eyes widening in shock. 

   “Risa-chan, calm down!” Eri chided, surprised by her friend’s sudden reaction.  “You know, you don’t have to stay up late.”

   “That’s right, Risa,” Ai agreed.  “You have the spare key to our room, right?  Use that and get some rest.”

   “But… but…” Risa stuttered. 

   “I know what you’re thinking,” Eri whispered so that only the two of them could hear.  “You still have the night after that, don’t worry.”

   The bean finally sighed and stared down at the sand.  The staff lady gave Ai and Reina the exact time for the start of the shooting and walked away.  The yankii moaned and hugged her girlfriend.

   “And I was looking so forward to our first night in Hawaii…” she complained.

   “What was there to look forward to in the first place?” Eri said innocently.  Reina backed away and glowered at her smiling girlfriend.

   “Risa, it’s fine if you stay in your room while I work,” Ai comforted, taking the younger girl’s hands.

   “That’s not it,” Risa whined.  “I just… It’s just…”

   “Are you going to be lonely without me tonight?” Ai teased.

   “Yes!” Risa cried out unconsciously.  “Wait, I mean, no… I mean—”

   “I get it,” Ai laughed, embracing her girlfriend.  “I’m sorry I have to leave you.  But we’ll still be together tomorrow, right?  You’ll watch the photo shoot during the day.”

   “Can’t I watch you tonight?”

   “Nope.  Because I want you to get some rest, and that’s final.”

   “… Fine,” Risa muttered.  “I guess I’ll just have to wait one more night… Wait, this is a good thing!  It means I have one more night to prepare, right?  But… why do I feel let down…?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 72

   “Now take off the shirt slowly, Takahashi!  That’s right… and don’t forget about the camera!”

   Flashes and camera clicking came from various angles around the High-Queen leader, who was taking off a t-shirt to reveal the black bikini underneath.  Her long hair flowed with the light breeze as she took off her top while smiling at the camera. 

   “And… cut!” the director called.  “That was good, Takahashi!  You can take five; Tanaka, you’re next!”

   Ai stepped out of the sand and on to the boardwalk to face her partner.  The yankii was in a tank-top while wearing a bikini underneath; the two idols high-fived each other as they passed by.  Risa then met her girlfriend with a friendly smile, and draped a towel around the older girl.

   “Arigatou,” the leader thanked.  “What did you think of those shots?”

   “They were great,” Risa said plainly.  “They’re always great.”

   “Risa, are you alright?” Ai asked worriedly.  “You seem a little pale.”

   “I’m fine… I guess I’m just tired,” the younger girl mumbled.

   Indeed, the bean was very tired.  During the night-time photo shoot, Risa had sat alone in the hotel room, eyeing her trunk nervously.  During the entire night, all she could think about was how their next night would go, which scared her yet somehow excited her.  These mixed feelings for what was to come had completely ruined her beauty sleep.  In fact, she was so nervous but so determined that she just put on the lingerie underneath her clothes that morning.  It made her feel ready at any time… But then again, it also made her feel silly.

   “If you’re that tired,” Ai continued, “I think you should go back to your room and rest.  Reina, Eri, and I are here for work but you’re here on vacation.”

   “I don’t want to go back,” Risa whispered.  “I want to stay here with you.”

   “Even though I’m still worried, I’m kind of glad to hear that,” Ai grinned. 

   She leaned in close to her girlfriend and covered both sides of their faces with the towel around her.  Then, the idol placed a kiss upon Risa’s lips, which started off sweet.  But as soon as the bean’s lips parted, Ai took the initiative to shove her tongue in, making the younger girl moan. 

   Seeing that her lover’s movements were limited because she was holding up the towel, Risa saw this as a chance to have the upper hand.  She quickly ran her hand over Ai’s cheeks, then down to her neck, then to her chest.  She cupped her breasts firmly, which made Ai moan softly.  Risa’s hands continued its adventure down to her lover’s slim waist; it lingered there for a while, feeling the smooth skin of Ai’s stomach.  Then, the younger girl reached down and got a good grip on the singer’s butt, which made Ai jump a little but she made no sign of displeasure. 

   “And… cut!” the director’s loud voice boomed.  “Great job, Tanaka!”

   Unfortunately, both girls knew that the “cut” signal was their cue to stop making out.  Unwillingly, Risa backed away as Ai dropped the towel down to her own shoulders again.  The bean pouted a little; she was enjoying being in the lead.  Ai grinned, reading her girlfriend’s mind, and gave her a quick peck on the forehead.

   “I have to go back,” Ai murmured.  “We can continue this later.”

   “That better be a promise,” Risa muttered.

   “If you want it to be, sweetheart,” the singer chuckled.  She gave a wink before shuffling off the boardwalk.  Eri skipped towards the bean and smirked.

   “I saw that,” the turtle giggled.  “You guys are getting really close.  Was that a prelude to tonight’s event?”

   “Hopefully it happens tonight,” Risa sighed.  She was starting to feel awfully dizzy now.  The sun was too bright on her face and everything was too hot…

   “Woah, Risa-chan!” Eri yelled.  “Are you okay?  What’s wrong, are you sick?”

   Her friend’s yelling made Risa realize that she almost collapsed just now.  The turtle was holding her arm up, but she was already kneeling on the ground. 

   “I’m fine, Kameha…” Risa whispered.  “I’m just stressed, and I didn’t get enough sleep last night… Don’t make a big fuss or Ai will come over.”

   “Too late,” a different voice growled.

   The bean looked up to see her girlfriend bending down towards her; she was not happy.

   “Risa, if you’re too tired, you should be back at the hotel,” Ai scolded.  “I want you back in your bed, immediately.”

   “I’ll take her back,” Eri offered.  She started to pull Risa up and swung her arm around her friend’s waist.  “Come on, Risa-chan.”

   “I’m sorry, Ai,” the bean mumbled, her eyes half-closed.  “I wanted to stay for the whole shoot…”

   “Don’t worry about that,” Ai whispered back.  “Go to bed and get some sleep.  When you wake up, I’ll be there, okay?  And that’s a promise.”

   “Okay…” Risa mumbled.  “Keep that promise…”

   With that, the two friends stumbled away together, out of the beach and down the street.  It took a little longer than it had to, but the girls eventually reached Ai and Risa’s hotel suite.  The turtle dropped her friend on the bed and pulled the blanket over her.

   “I don’t want you moving an inch out of this bed before Ai gets here, understand?” Eri ordered.

   “I understand…” Risa mumbled back.  Everything in the room was really spinning now; she was definitely suffering from lack of sleep.

   “And don’t worry too much about your first night,” Eri whispered.  “When you feel like you’re ready, it feels completely natural to do something more.  It’s hard to explain, but you’ll know when you feel it.  Trust me.”

   “Okay…” Risa said, barely comprehensible now.  “Thanks, Kameha…”

   With that, the bean quickly fell asleep, putting the thoughts on her future events aside.

Even though I wantz that Takagaki perv sooner... I don't want Risa to get too worried about it, LOL. I think she comes first, before everything else.  :twothumbs

Aww DARNNIT! It would've been awesome if they were too engrossed in what they were doing and in their own world to hear the "cut" signal :mon misch: Heh, that would be so awesome.

Director: "And...cut. Great job, Tanaka! Go get Takahashi-san over here, will ya?"
Reina: *looks over to find Aichan* "Uhh, I don't think that's a good idea."
Director: WHAT ARE YOU SAYIN!? Are you disobeying my orders now?
Reina: *shifty* "..."

              "TAKAHASHI! WTF are you doing under that towel!!" *pulls away towel to reveal Aigaki making out*

I love the entire  moonlight+photo-shop effect talk. Ai is getting a lot better with her cheesy lines. :thumbup
LOL.  XD Major rofl-ing moment when Ai admitted that Risa is sexy.
Oh...oh.... :shocked I am actually quite surprised that you had them "take turns" (unlike tanakamei, where it was one-sided). Biased SarangAi :P

All in all, it was extremely hot and demanding. XD Update soon~

Ai laughed.  “I don’t think the moonlight is complementing you; your beauty is complementing the moonlight.”

So it seems as though you're all pretty much pleased, and i have improved a little, which makes me happy :twothumbs
This next chapter is actually unnecesary, but it's a scenario i've been imagining since the beginning of this fic, so i'm putting it it XD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 74

   Risa slowly opened her eyes.  She felt her lover’s arms around her body and could smell her floral scent.  The bean immediately realized that she was being embraced by Ai; she had a very good view of the idol’s collarbone.  The older girl’s breathing was even and steady.

   The room wasn’t dark anymore but it wasn’t light either.  The sun was barely starting to rise, so the dim sunshine was flowing into the room from the veranda.  Risa guessed that it was around early morning.  She wanted to check the exact time so she gently backed away from her sleeping girlfriend.  But as she tried to turn around, the arm around Risa’s waist constricted and pulled her back to the middle of the bed again.  The younger girl was pressed against Ai’s bare body once more, her warmth transferring to her.

   “Where do you think you’re going?” the singer whispered.

   “I wanted to check the time,” Risa answered.  “You were already awake?”

   “Yeah,” Ai mumbled.  “But I didn’t want to get out of bed yet; it’s warm in here.”

   “Can you let me go so I can look at the clock?” Risa asked.  “We might have to get up soon.”

   “Don’t worry, we’re not late yet,” Ai said softly.  “We still have time before we need to get to the airport.”

   “Can I check and decide that myself?” Risa questioned, a little more irritated now.

   “You don’t trust me?” Ai gasped sarcastically. 

   She pulled herself down a little to come face-to-face with her girlfriend.  Before Risa could say something, the leader pressed her lips together with her lover’s.  It was a sweet morning kiss, gentle and warm.  It reminded them that they were truly together now.  It was comfort, that all would go well in the future.

   “Stay with me a little longer,” Ai giggled, trying to snuggle closer.  “Talk with me.”

   “What should we talk about?”

   “Can we talk about last night,” Ai sighed, “and how wonderful it was?”

   “It was wonderful…” Risa admitted, blushing.  “I’m glad you’re my first, Ai.”

   “And I’m glad you’re my first as well.”

   The younger girl shot up from the bed, her eyes widened in surprise. 

   “I’m your first?” she inquired.

   “Of course you are,” Ai replied, raising her eyebrows in confusion.  “Now lie back down.  Why would you think you’re not my first?”

   “I don’t know…” Risa mumbled, dropping back down on the bed.  “It’s just… you don’t seem like the type of girl to be left alone to keep your virginity until you’re 24 years old.”

   “I’m not sure whether to take that as an insult or a compliment,” Ai smirked.  “Risa, you always seem to think that I’m the more experienced one or something.  You may be right, but I haven’t gone that far.  I got pretty close last time but you’re still my first.”

   “You got pretty close?” Risa shrilled, shooting up again.  “With who?  When was this?”

   “Sweetheart, you need to calm down,” Ai laughed, pulling her girlfriend back down to the bed again.  “I got close with her, but nothing happened.  We’re okay now.”

   “You still see each other?” Risa asked again, automatically shooting up like a jack-in-the-box.

   “If you get up one more time, I’m going to pin you down so you won’t be able to move an inch,” Ai threatened, pulling her girlfriend towards the bed again.  “Yes, we see each other everyday.”

   “… Do I know her?” Risa muttered.

   “Yes, you know her.”

   “… May I know who she is?”

   “You may, if you promise not to overreact.”  The idol studied the bean’s determined face.  She sighed.  “It’s Reina.”

   “WHAT?!” Risa shrilled, her voice flying up a couple octaves.  She shot up from the bed again.  “You almost went all the way with REINA?”

   “Okay, that’s it,” Ai growled.  “I warned you.”

   The singer pulled Risa down to the sheets and rolled on top of her.  She grabbed both of her wrists and pinned it down.  The younger girl struggled to break free but it was an obvious fact that Ai was much stronger than her.  The leader quickly pressed her lips against Risa’s, blocking her mouth before she could say anything too terrible.  The bean tried to reject the kiss but Ai plunged her tongue into her mouth, nevertheless.  She kissed her over and over again before moving on to her ear, leaving Risa breathless.

   “Could you please calm down?” Ai murmured, nibbling on the delicate ear.  “I’m telling you, nothing happened.”

   “You just told me that you almost had sex with Reina,” Risa growled, “and you expect me to stay calm?”

   “Yes, I do,” Ai answered firmly.  She licked her girlfriend’s ear once, causing the bean to shiver.  “It was right after she got dumped.  I was her first victim, in a way.  We came back home and she attacked me.  Thankfully, before she went too far, I pushed her away and told her that she will never use me in that way.  It slapped enough sense into her to save myself.”

   “For some reason, I’m not too comforted by that,” the bean grumbled. 

   “Nothing happened, Risa,” Ai chuckled, facing her lover again.  “You see me and Reina all the time; we’re the best of friends.  And in conclusion, you’re still my first.  I belong to you.”

   “… That makes me feel a little better,” Risa muttered.  “But it’s still not enough.”

   “What do I need to do to convince you?”

   “I don’t know, Ai,” the younger girl sighed.  “Just forget it.”

   “Maybe I need to do something like this?” Ai smirked.  She started to rub her girlfriend’s sensitive nub, causing her to twitch in shock.  Risa tried to put her knees together but it wasn’t possible, for the singer’s two legs were in between her own.

   “Stop it, Ai,” Risa gasped.  “We need to… mm… the airport…”

   “We still have time,” Ai said softly, as she started to run her fingers up and down the bean’s wet slit.  “And I think you’re body agrees with me.”

   Risa bit down on her lips as her heart started to speed up a little.  Ai kissed her smooth neck and licked her soft skin. 

   “What do you say?” the leader asked.

   “… Just… just one more round then…” Risa mumbled, embarrassed.

   “One more round,” Ai agreed, chuckling to herself.

   As the sun continued to rise in the east, the two lovers fell back into the repetition of their previous night’s bliss.

@oddball: she's been holding it back for WAY too long :lol:


ReinAi haters, dun worry.  The last chapter is as intense as it gets (which means it's not rly intense at all) XD

I feel like TanaKame has been in the backwall lately, so I threw in this RLY short chapter to kinda bring them back in a little :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 75

   A pair of warm hands cupped her face.  Somebody leaned towards her ear; the person had a nice scent.

   “Eri,” the soft voice whispered.  “I know you’re tired, baby.  But I need you to turn your body a little and get on my back, okay?  You don’t need to walk; I’ll carry you.”

   The turtle mumbled something incomprehensible.  She wanted to sleep more; the car seat felt oddly comfortable.  And she was way too exhausted from the plane ride back from Hawaii.  She had stayed awake the whole ride to spend more time with her girlfriend.  As a result, she had completed knocked herself out as soon as she got into the silver sports car with her friends at the airport.

   Eri definitely didn’t want to move an inch.  But she knew it was her special person speaking to her, so she obeyed and turned towards the direction of the voice. 

   Keeping her eyes closed, she extended her arms forward and found the familiar shoulders, and wrapped her arms around the neck.  Slowly, she felt herself being lifted off into the air.  The cool air of November blew on to her skin, causing her to shiver.  She tightened her hold around her girlfriend, taking in all the warmth from her back. 

   She felt herself being moved after the beeping of the car resonated.  Soon enough, the coldness disappeared with the sudden blast of indoor heat.  Something dinged and she felt herself being moved again.  She realized that she was inside an elevator as the doors closed.  She also realized that there were only two people inside.  Where was her friend and the other idol?

   Another ding sounded.  The couple moved again.  The half-asleep girl felt the arms holding her up suddenly disappear and reappear.  The creak of the door was heard, and they were inside the apartment. 

   As she wandered between reality and dreams, Eri eventually felt the softness of a bed.  She mumbled something again and made herself comfortable on the unfamiliar sheets.  Where was she?  This wasn’t her house.

   “Reina-chan…” Eri murmured.

   “I’m right here,” a gentle voice answered.

   That was enough reassurance for the turtle; if her lover was there, then it meant that she was safe.  Although her fatigue was already on an overload level, Eri couldn’t bare to not see her girlfriend right after she heard her voice.  She forced open her eyes with much difficulty to see her lover lying next to her.

   “You can keep on sleeping,” Reina whispered.

   “But I can’t see you while I sleep,” Eri mumbled.  “I missed you.”

   “Really?” the yankii chuckled, amused by her girlfriend’s logic.  “I didn’t miss you because I’ve been watching you the entire time.”

   “Where’s Risa-chan and Ai?” Eri said in a hoarse voice.

   “They’re at your house,” Reina replied.  “None of us could bear to stay away from our significant others, so we decided on another sleepover.”

   “I’m glad you did,” Eri sighed contently.  “I always miss you too much.”

   “I know, you just can’t stay away from me,” Reina snickered, her hand tracing up her girlfriend’s leg and to her inner thighs.

   “Stop that,” Eri whined.  “Not now…”

   “I’m just joking,” the younger girl sighed.  “As much as I love your body, I’m still human; I’m exhausted right now too.”

   “But I still like talking to you like this,” Eri whispered.  “What am I going to do without you… I love you too much for my own good.”

   “Well, you’ll never be without me,” Reina answered, “so problem solved.”

   “Is that a promise?”

   “Definitely.”  Eri felt a pair of warm lips kiss her forehead.  “Now go to sleep, baby.  I’m tired too.”

   “Okay… See you in the morning, Reina-chan,” the turtle mumbled.

   “See you in your dreams,” the yankii corrected.

   Eri smiled and snuggled a little closer to her lover, who welcomed her with open arms.  Absorbing each other’s warmth, the couple slowly drifted off to dreamland where they had promised to meet.

@kano-chan: oh TakaGaki's future.... :twisted:


wow, so i post two chapters per day and i get to read more of your comments.... not bad :twothumbs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 76

   “Risa~ Wake up~”

   “Just five more minutes, Ai…”

   “If you don’t get up now, I’m going to touch you~”

   “Five minutes…”

   “I warned you; here I come!”

   Ai smirked and pounced on her sleeping girlfriend and started to tickle her waist.  Risa jumped up, giggling and trying to wrap her arms around herself to fend off the idol’s attack.

   “Stop, stop!” Risa laughed.  “Okay, I’m up!  I’m awake now, stop!”

   “It would’ve been easier if you just woke up in the first place,” Ai grinned.

   The two girls were sitting on Risa’s bed as the morning sunshine settled into the room through the open windows.  Risa was wearing a tank top and shorts with a thin sweatshirt over it.  Ai was wearing a white button down shirt with only her underwear; the collar shirt was borrowed from the bean. 

   “Aren’t you even tired, Ai?” Risa yawned.  “I’m still exhausted from yesterday’s trip…”

   “I’m tired,” the singer nodded.  “But I’m hungry too.  Make something for me to eat, Risa.”

   “You can cook, can’t you?” Risa mumbled, hugging a pillow.  “Make your own breakfast.”

   “But I want you to do it for me~” Ai whined, wrapping her arms around the reluctant bean.  “Make me something.”

   “What happened to you over night?” Risa asked, raising an eyebrow.  “You’re a lot more childish than usual.”

   “There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be spoiled by my girlfriend,” Ai giggled, nuzzling closer.  She planted a quick smooch on Risa’s lips.  “Come on, we’ll make breakfast together.”

   “Together sounds better than me, myself, and I,” Risa grinned.

   The couple got up from the bed.  Before Ai walked out of the bedroom, Risa whistled loudly.  The idol turned back to have something gray hit her head.

   “Put those on,” Risa ordered.  “Don’t walk around my house short-less; Eri could walk in any time she wants.”

   Ai smiled and started to say something back, but she stopped herself before she annoyed her girlfriend too much.  She obediently put on the shorts, took Risa’s hand, and walked out of the room.

   When they arrived in the kitchen, the bean shuffled over to the refrigerator and took out two eggs.  She walked over to the pantry to get the black frying pan and placed it on the stove.  She turned the switch to bring out the blazing fire.

   “Ai, could you get the spatula from the counter for me?” Risa requested, cracking the eggs into the pan.

   “Sure,” the idol answered.  She got the cooking tool and placed it next to the stove.

   “Thanks,” Risa said, washing her hands in the sink.  She grabbed her long hair and twirled it around on top of her head.  She removed the hair-tie from around her wrist and secured the bun.

   “Nee, Risa,” Ai called, looking into the refrigerator.  “I see strawberries; can I have some?”

   “Yeah, they’re already washed so you can just eat them right away,” Risa answered, concentrating on the sunny-side up eggs on the frying pan.

   The singer removed the clear container full of strawberries from the refrigerator.  She popped open the cover and took the berry into her mouth.

   “Okay, the eggs are done,” Risa announced.  She turned around and put down the plate of eggs on the table.  She walked back around the counter and leaned on it.  “What else can we eat?”

   “I think just eggs and this is fine,” Ai said, holding up a small piece of strawberry.  “You want some?”

   “Sure.” 

   Risa reached for the fruit in the idol’s hand but Ai quickly popped it into her own mouth.  The singer trapped her lover between her arms and kissed her, pushing the strawberry into the younger girl’s mouth.  Risa let out a small whimper as the cold berry hit her teeth, followed by the older girl’s warm tongue.  The fruit was sweet and tasty, just like Ai’s flavor. 

   “Does it taste good?” Ai whispered, smiling.

   “It’s sweet,” Risa answered, blushing.  “I want more.”

   The bean leaned forwards to meet her girlfriend’s lips once again.  Their tongues intertwined, trying to taste each other as much as they could.  Risa just wanted to stay like this forever.  Having Ai in front of her like this was her most treasured moment.  She could truly understand what a wonderful thing it was to have the one you love always beside you.

   Suddenly, the sound of glass shattering echoed in the room.  Ai and Risa broke their kiss, turning around to look at where the disturbance had come from. 

   Two black-haired girls were standing at the entrance of the kitchen.  The younger girl in the front was pale with her eyes wide in shock and her lips trembling.  Her hands were suspended in air; it was she who had dropped the glass plate.  The older girl in the back had her hair in a side ponytail; her eyes also widened but she seemed more in control than the other girl.

   “Sayu!” Risa exclaimed, breaking free of her girlfriend’s embrace.  “You got released from the hospital?  You should’ve called us; Kameha and I could’ve gone to get you!”

   “Risa-chan…” Sayumi said, her voice trembling.  “You… and… Takahashi-san…”

   “Huh?”  The bean looked back at her girlfriend, who had a serious expression on.  She blushed, realizing what her friend had seen.  “Oh… um, yeah.  I didn’t tell you yet, right?  Ai and I are going out.”

   “You’re… going out… with her?” Sayumi asked shakily.  Her eyes were burning with fury now.  Her entire body was trembling with rage.

   “Yeah…” Risa answered, confused by her friend’s reaction.  “Sayumi, are you okay?  Why did you drop the plate?  Now I have to clean this up—”

   “Risa-chan, how could you do this to me?” Sayumi screamed, taking a step back.  Risa looked at her in surprise.  Ai clenched her fists tightly. Junjun pursed her lips.

   “Do what?” Risa asked, completely oblivious.  “Sayumi, what’s wrong?”

   “You… after all the times I’ve confessed my love for you…” Sayumi sobbed, tears of betrayal streaming down her cheeks.  “How did she convince you, huh?  Why did you take her seriously but not me?  Risa-chan, how could you?”

   “Sayumi, I don’t understand—”

   “I love you!” the younger girl cried.  “I love you more than anything else in the world!  But you never even took my feelings seriously… How could you do this to me, Risa-chan?”

   Before the bean could say anything, Sayumi ran out of the house as fast as she could.  Ai gripped at the counter until her knuckles turned white.  Junjun turned to look at the wide-eyed Risa, who was trying to comprehend the situation.

   “You know, Gaki-san,” the panda said quietly.  “I knew you could be oblivious but I didn’t know you could be that insensitive.”

   “Sayumi… she… loved me?” Risa breathed.

   “She still does,” Junjun answered.  “Every single time Shige-san confessed, you never took her sincerely.  Every single one of your empty ‘I love yous’ hurt her.”

   “I… I hurt her?” Risa gasped.

   “So many times,” Junjun replied.  She glared at the awe-stricken girl for a while, and then ran out of the house after the girl she loved.

   Risa leaned against the doorway to hold herself up.  Sayumi had been in love with her the whole time.  Every time she expressed her feelings, she had taken it as a joke, hurting her in the process.  Yet she took Ai seriously and never glanced once at the younger girl.  She had hurt her over and over again…

   “Go after her.”

   Risa turned around to see her girlfriend right behind her.  Ai’s face was smooth and expressionless, but there was still something off about her.

   “You want me to go after her?” Risa whispered.

   “She’s your friend,” Ai explained.  “If you don’t set things right with her now, you’ll regret it later.”

   Risa stared at the idol for a moment; she then kissed her on her cheeks and whispered a word of thanks in her ears.  The bean quickly ran out of the house, shoving her feet into her sneakers in the process.  Ai was left alone in the kitchen, staring down at the broken glass on the floor.

   “Why didn’t she reveal me?” she thought.  “I didn’t expect Sayumin to lose it like that; she could’ve just told Risa everything… so why didn’t she?  What did she have to lose?

I felt a little bad for Sayu when she witnessed TakaGaki. Even if she's the villain, I can't help but understand when she said Risa never took her seriously. :(

And FINALLY, the main arc of the fanfic is here. :smhid XD
Btw, I meant that Tanakamei is innocent in general. That does not include their private moments. XD

Update soon, as usual. ^^

Man, Ai is something else to tell Risa to go after Sayu. Is she doing it out of gratitude for the other girl not revealing her to the bean? Either way, I feel that was the right course of action, maybe things will get better instead of worse. Or maybe Sayumi will take the time alone to tear Ai down in Risa's mind by telling her lie.

So Sayu was there the whole time, huh? I wonder how she got in there and how long she had waited :P

Ahhhhh! Catch up time!  :P
Sorry for falling behind... I kind of fell into a bit of a depression after the grad announcements, on top of uni work building up. But back to do a bit of commenting, a huh  :)

Quote
@Beecubed: I LOVED reading your comment, I'm a sucker for long comments
 

I think everybody is a sucker for long comments  XD
I'm glad you enjoyed it though  :thumbsup

Quote
your words really encouraged me, thank you for taking the time to write that up!

You're welcome and really, it's my pleasure. I love writing up comments.  :wub: I don't know if that's strange, but I really really do.  :yep:
And that's exactly one of the reasons why I love writing comments... because I love seeing my authors being encouraged to continue to write! For me and for everybody else supporting her/him!


Chapter 70:

HOLY COW... Tanakame  :bleed eyes:
In front of Ai-chan too?!?!? That's... so shamelessly hot  :inlove:
These guys are so touchy feely, Reina, you bad-ass, can't you wait a bit and get yourselves a room! Holy...  :fap
(I'm beginning to suspect Reina may be a nympho... or maybe Eri is really that irresistible..  :drool:)

Only adding to the burning fires of desire between TakaGaki, I'm sure, so I guess in a way they're helping  :twisted:
AND yet another thank you to Eri, for forcing Gaki to bring along lingerie... I'm loving the conversation going on between TakaGaki, the tension is extremely delicious, I'm lapping it all up  :love:
I really can't wait to keep reading... onto the next chapter!


Chapter 71:

Quote
“Is it one, two, three then take the towel off, or is it one, two, and take it off at three?” the turtle contemplated seriously.

I echo Ai's question: does it really matter?  XD

I wonder if Ai knows what's really on her bean's mind... I think she might  :oops: awww, it's so cute, Gaki's uneasiness. But it's just making me even more excited, knowing that a perv is to come pretty soon... squeeeee...

ReinAi water fight. The rougher, the yummier.  :w00t:

Quote
“And you look pretty astounding in that bikini, my dear.  I’m almost considering taking you back to the hotel so nobody else would be able to see you in that.”

I'm pretty sure Ai had something else in mind when she said this... 

:grin:

You're only delaying the inevitable, the perv is still coming, I'm not worried... I have to say, the tease itself is pretty thrilling itself!  :twothumbs


Chapter 72:

*Moments under the towel*

 :bow:
Gaki-san GO!  :onioncheer:

...

 :O

Oh nos, poor Gaki, she needs to realise she can't skip out on sleep, no matter how uneasy/nervous/excited she may get. Though I don't blame her... if you're about to be bedded by someone like Ai-chan, you're bound to be all  :panic: :panic: :panic:


Chapter 73:

KIIIIIITTTAAAA~~~!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GAH.

TakaGaki yeaaaaahhhhh  :farofflook: :luvluv2:

I really loved the mood you set at the beginning, it was so mushy romantic... then quickly sped along to sexy sexy... wow  :shy1:
I didn't expect Gaki to the be one speeding things up either.  :shakeit:

Quote
“You’re in big trouble now,” Ai smirked.  “I don’t think I can hold myself back after you’ve seduced me like this.”

*whispers*: No, Ai, please don't... for all our sakes...  :bow:

............



 :mon blood:


Is it Ai's first time too? I wasn't aware of that  :nervous I thought she was an experienced woman! That was the impression I got in the beginning anyway...
But wowwowoowowow... for somebody who is doing it for the first time, Gaki-san sure confident   :inlove:

Very very hot and sexy and everything I expected it to be. All sorts of win this chapter was.
 :wub:

I don't think we'll ever become immune to your pervs...

 :on_hot:


Chapter 74:

The "morning-after" talk can be so  :wriggly:

I'm falling more and more for TakaGaki here. I hope they don't get all perv-maniac like TanaKame have... we need a good balance  :lol:

Soooooo sweet.

Quote
“Can we talk about last night,” Ai sighed, “and how wonderful it was?”

 :mon cute:

Quote
  “You got pretty close?” Risa shrilled, shooting up again.  “With who?  When was this?”

   “Sweetheart, you need to calm down,” Ai laughed, pulling her girlfriend back down to the bed again.  “I got close with her, but nothing happened.  We’re okay now.”

   “You still see each other?” Risa asked again, automatically shooting up like a jack-in-the-box.

   “If you get up one more time, I’m going to pin you down so you won’t be able to move an inch,” Ai threatened, pulling her girlfriend towards the bed again.  “Yes, we see each other everyday.”

 :rofl:

Epic TakaGaki moment.  :wub:
You keep serving up such good stuff... I'm impressed.  :heart:


Quote
“It’s Reina.”

:shock:

OK, I admit I wasn't expecting that...

Ohhhhh, so that's what happened. Damn.

Love how it ends. And I'm happy for you to leave it at that, my imagination can take over now  :twisted:


Chapter 75:

I love how Eri is always the one being pampered in fanfics  :nervous She's just that kind of person, isn't she. Adorable  :heart:

I totally HEART gentle, caring Reina... please keep up with writing her this way. Sexy, mischievous Reina is good too, but we need more of this Reina, seriously. Gorgeousness.  :thumbsup

Quote
“But I can’t see you while I sleep,” Eri mumbled.  “I missed you.”

The things that spill from our turtle's mouth...   :nya:

And then the naughty Reina appears... she can't stay away for too long, can she. Hehe.

Quote
Absorbing each other’s warmth, the couple slowly drifted off to dreamland where they had promised to meet.

AHHHHHHHHH, so 'effing cute!!!  :mon lovelaff:

I honestly find it hard to pick which couple I love more! They're both so awesome! You're so awesome!

Everything's just so fine and dandy, bring on the Sayumi I say! *rubs hands together* I'm not evil, just that I've accepted what's to come and I think we need to shake things up a bit!  :D


Chapter 76:

Sweet Jesus, a childish wanting-to-be-spoiled Ai-chan is so my kind of thang  :inlove: Again, the fact that you can dish out so much fluff chapter after chapter and still have everybody melting is pretty amazing... damn SarangAi, you're doing a mighty fine job  :thumbsup

Strawberry kisses  :yep:


Quote
Ai and Risa broke their kiss, turning around to look at where the disturbance had come from. 

   Two black-haired girls were standing at the entrance of the kitchen.


 :mon wtf:

And so you have shaken up the story... let's see what's going to happen now.

I'm EXCITED!

I'll have you know that I love me some angst, so you bring it on in tidal waves if you can, I'll savour every bit of it. Because really, you don't know what's good unless you experience the bad, I can only imagine going through heartache and the like will only solidify TakaGaki's feelings for each other, even if it hurts us all in the process to read about it. I'm also guessing that TanaKame will be left alone until the end? Seems about right.

Ai-chan... how strong she must be to let her bean go like that, knowing fully well what kind of person Sayu is.  :cry:

Looking forward to the next updates... I'm sure we're in for some good stuff pretty soon...  :twothumbs

Thanks for everything you've written again so far. Such entertainment.  :love:

Sorry for the lack of updates yesterday... it was my birthday so I was chilling with some friends XD
But i'm back and ready to roll~ :twothumbs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 77

   The crying girl ran down the streets with no desire to stop.  People stared at her for a good reason; her long jet-black hair was flowing behind her and her skin was deadly pale.  She wanted to run far away, but she knew she had to stop soon.  After all, her body was weaker than most people’s and if she overexerted herself, she could wind up right back in the hospital.

   She crossed the street when the light turned green and stopped to catch her breath.  She shuffled over to the inner part of the street so as not to disturb anybody walking by.  Somebody crossed the street and stopped in front of her.  The girl could tell who it was without even looking.

   “What am I going to do, Junjun?” Sayumi sobbed.  “Risa-chan… she already has someone!  Where does this leave me?”

   “Shige-san, please don’t cry,” the panda pleaded.  “When you cry, it drives a stake through my heart.

   “But I love her so much!” Sayumi yelled, tears streaming uncontrollably down her pale cheeks.  She wrapped her arms around her caretaker and cried into her shoulders.  “I don’t know what to do anymore!  She never took me seriously and now it’s too late!”

   “Shige-san…”  Junjun embraced the weak girl in an effort to console her.  “You have no reason to cry over someone like her.  Why can’t your love be for me?  I would never make you cry…

   “Sayu!”

   The two girls turned around to spot Risa, her long brown hair ruffled in the wind.  She watched the light turn green and crossed the street.  Sayumi looked down at the ground.  Junjun bit down on her lips.

   “I want to be the one for her,” she thought.  “But the person Shige-san needs isn’t me.

   The panda patted Sayumi’s shoulder and smiled gently.

   “I’ll wait for you at the end of the street,” she whispered.  She shot a glare at the out-of-breath bean and walked away.  Risa straightened her back and looked at her sniffling friend.

   “Sayumi, we need to talk.”

   “There’s nothing to talk about,” the bunny mumbled.  “You clearly made the contrast between me and Takahashi-san; it’s too late for me now.”

   “Listen to me, Sayu,” Risa insisted.  “You’re my best friend along with Eri; I’ve known you since we were children.  I don’t want anything to get in the way of our friendship.”

   “That’s why you’re rejecting my feelings?” Sayumi shrilled, looking up to reveal her red face.

   “No,” Risa whispered.  “I’m rejecting your feelings because I’m in love with someone else.  I’m sorry Sayumi, but I’ve never thought of you as more than a friend.  But you’re still precious to me and I don’t want to lose you.”

   “But why her?” the younger girl cried.  “Why can’t it be me?  I met you first and I’ve known you longer… why isn’t it me?”

   “Time doesn’t matter in emotions like this,” Risa explained.  “For me, there’s only Ai.  I’m sorry.”

   “Risa-chan,” Sayumi sobbed, grabbing the older girl’s hands, “please don’t do this to me.  I need you; please don’t leave me like this…”

   “I’m so sorry,” Risa murmured.

   She pulled her hands out of the crying girl’s grasp and quickly walked across the street while the light was still green.  Sayumi’s eyes were wide for a moment as she tried to grasp the situation: the girl she loved had just rejected her.  She was going to leave her forever.  They would never be together…

   “Risa-chan!” the black-haired girl screamed.  “Please don’t go!  Risa-chan!”

   Sayumi ran into the road as the light turned red.  Junjun called her name from the edge of the street but she couldn’t hear.  The honking of a car resonated, followed by a familiar scream.  Risa turned around to face the horrible scene on the black pavement.  She saw another girl run into the street from the opposite side.  She also dashed into the road, screaming the name of the one she subconsciously started to pray for.

   “SAYUMI!”

@Beecubed: I loved your "essay"  XD  it encouraged me a lot again, i'm glad that you're enjoying all this... it makes everything seem worthwhile (and that goes to all the otehr commenters too) :D :wub:

That was probably going to be the last essay from me... I'll try not to fall behind so badly again, because it sure takes time to go through and comment on each chapter thoroughly.

Your chapters are normally pretty short, so I won't have to write essays in order to respond  :nervous

Oh, and HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!  :luvuluvu:

Anyways, now....

I'm glad Gaki isn't going to deny her feelings for Ai-chan or come to some compromise for Sayu, that in itself makes me want to celebrate!

And despite knowing that Sayu is wicked and devilish and incredibly selfish, I do feel sorry for her. At least in this chapter. She seemed so... normal.  :(

Poor Jun, her inner thoughts are always so helpless. I hope at the end of the story Sayu understands just how much Jun Jun cares about her and they get together... no killing off characters please  :bleed eyes:

 :OMG:

Quote
She saw another girl run into the street from the opposite side.

I wasn't very clear when I read this... is this girl that Gaki sees running into the street (I'm assuming to save Sayu) Jun? I have a feeling it could be somebody like Eri... (and thus that's where Tanakame drama comes in...).

Purely speculation at this point, but I guess we'll find out, hey...

 :panic:

UPDATE SOON!  :heart:

“Risa-chan,” Sayumi sobbed, grabbing the older girl’s hands, “please don’t do this to me.  I need you; please don’t leave me like this…”

   “I’m so sorry,” Risa murmured.

 :cry: I know .. it's too much for her ..

hmm .. Why don't u let Risa have both Ai & Sayu   :mon misch:  So it' makes both AiSayu happy  :D
And, I think .. Risa don't mind ..  :mon evillaff:

Man, I really didn't think Risa would be so final when it came to Sayu, I thought there would be a hug or a pat on the head, a turning her over to Jun Jun or something! I'm kind of proud of her, in a way, for being so strong about her feelings. And I'm quite surprised at Sayu for not freaking out and blabbing everything, like I thought she would, in an attempt to at least destroy Risa's happiness with Ai.

But oh noes! Sayumi~! Is she okay? There can't be any evil drama without her!! :panic:

Man missed loads agian! I've just been so busy recently!

Chapter 75: Aww pure tanakame RabuRabu  :wub: Eri saying she misses Reina when she sleeps was judt too cute!!!

Chapter 76: Well Sayu and Jun come back with a bang (or a smash anyway :lol:) At least Risa now realizes that she has hurt Sayu but why did Sayu not tell Risa the secrect she knows about Ai? was she just too upset at seening them together to think to mention it?

chapter 77: I had a hard time deciding who to feel more sorry for in this chapter, Sayu or Jun. Sayu feels like she has lost the love of her life where as Jun is listening to the love of her life say to her that she has just lost the love of her life who is another girl! :cry: Sayu wins cos she got hit by a car, will she live, Will Gaki be wracked with grief if she dies, will Jun try and get revenge on Gaki for 'killing' Sayu? what if she lives will Gaki dump Ai for Sayu out of guilt what will happen to Ai and Jun if that happens?

So many questions so next chapter please!!!

P.S. I think your coment about the story getting more seroius was pretty accurate  :nervous

Chapter 78

   A light brown-haired girl pushed through the double doors of the hospital and ran into the hallway, followed by the yankii idol.  She saw her friend balled up on a small bench with her own girlfriend next to her.  Across from them was her cousin’s pianist friend, who was standing with her back against the wall, glaring down at the tile floor. 

   “What happened?” Eri growled.  “Where’s Sayumi?”

   “She’s in the emergency room,” Ai whispered.  “She’ll be okay; the ambulance got to her fast.”

   “Risa, what exactly happened?” Eri said through her teeth.  “How the hell did Sayumi get hit by a car?”

   “It’s all my fault,” Risa mumbled, clenching her fists around her hair.  “I shouldn’t have just left her there… it’s all my fault, I should’ve stopped…”

   Eri gritted her teeth and turned to face the panda. “Do you want to tell me what happened since Risa seems to be busy blaming herself?”

   “Gaki-san is right,” Junjun muttered.  “It is all her fault.”

   “Don’t give me any of that bullshit!” Eri shouted, exploding with anger.  “My one and only cousin is in the freaking emergency room!  I don’t care whose fault it was; I want to know how she got there and whether she’ll come back out safe and sound!  So somebody better start telling me what’s going on right now, damn it!”

   “Calm down, Eri,” Reina whispered, putting a hand on the turtle’s shoulder.  “This is a hospital; you have to keep your voice down.”

   “Don’t tell me to calm down!” Eri shrilled.  “Sayumi just got hit by a car!  She already has a weak body!  What if… what if she doesn’t pull through?” 

   She paused for a while as little crystals of tears started to form at the corner of her eyes.  The younger girl pulled her into a hug in an effort to console her.

   “She’s going to be fine, baby,” the yankii whispered.  “Your cousin may be weak physically but she’s strong-willed.  She’ll make it, don’t worry.”

   “It’s all my fault, Eri,” Risa mumbled, tightening her arms around her legs.  “I’m so sorry… It’s all my fault…”

   “Don’t say that,” Ai murmured.  “It wasn’t your fault, it was an accident.”

   At that moment, the red light above the room they were all waiting outside of turned off.  A man with glasses dressed in all green walked out, holding a clipboard.

   “Michishige Sayumi?” he announced.

   “Yes?” Risa answered, immediately standing up.

   “Are you a legal family member of the patient?”

   “That’s me,” Eri replied, wiping away the tears on her face.  “How’s my cousin?  What happened?”

   “Thankfully, the car didn’t hit her as hard as we thought,” the doctor said, flipping through the papers in his hand.  “A few broken ribs, fracture in her left arm, a broken left leg, and lots of bruises.  She’ll have to stay with us for a while, so she’s already been transferred to her room.  She’s in shock so she’s asleep now, but she didn’t suffer any serious head injuries so she should wake up in a couple days.”

   “Thank goodness,” Eri sighed.  All the tension that had built up seemed to come tumbling down, unbuckling her knees.  Reina caught her before she could slide down to the floor.  “Reina-chan, she’s going to be alright.  Sayumi is going to be okay…”

   “I told you,” the yankii smiled gently.  “Next time I tell you to calm down, you better calm down.”

   “We should go see her,” Eri mumbled.  “Can we go see her?”

   “She’s in her usual room,” the doctor said before walking away.

   The two girls walked through the double-doors and disappeared.  Risa finally unclenched her fists and leaned on her girlfriend’s shoulder.

   “Thank goodness…” she whispered.  “Thank goodness she’s okay…”

   “I think you deserve some rest now,” Ai said.  “It’s been a long morning.  You didn’t even eat yet.”

   “I don’t deserve anything,” Risa mumbled.  “I want to see Sayu.”

   “Gaki-san,” Junjun called, finally opening her mouth for the first time.  “May I speak to you for a while alone?”

   Her eyes were cold and black as she glared at the bean.  Risa understood why she was getting this treatment from the panda though; after all, she had just harmed the girl that she was in love with.  Junjun’s lips were pursed tightly with her fists clenched.  It looked as though she wanted to throw a punch right then and there.  In an odd way, Risa kind of wanted her to hit her.  She felt that she should accept any kind of punishment in her way.

   “Of course, Jun,” Risa answered, standing up.  “We can go outside.”

   “I’m going with you,” Ai said, resting her hand on the bean’s shoulder protectively.  She had seen the killing-intent in the pianist’s eyes.

   “No, this is between me and Junjun,” Risa whispered.  “You stay here.”

   Before the idol could protest, her lover followed the black-haired girl out of the hallway.  An uneasy feeling built up inside her stomach.  Would her girlfriend be safe?  What did Junjun want to talk about with Risa?  Where would this event leave them in the future?

Intense enough yet? :twisted:

Dang! I don't think we've ever seen Eri go off like that, though I expected the reactions of the other girls. Risa beating herself up and Jun wanting to beat Risa up and Ai not wanting her girlfriend with a black eye. Is it bad that I kinda want to see that very one sided cat fight? :sweatdrop:

I'm a little scared for her when JunJun is in this state  :O I think Ai needs to keep an eye on her while they're talking :yep: (lol Ai needs to keep an eye on her  XD)
As much as I don't want her to break TakaGaki apart, I'm glad Sayu's gonna be okay, physically. I wonder how she is doing mentally tho after the rejection and shock.
Probably like  :bleed eyes: .... :nervous ( I know I would be if the person I loved rejected me  :cry:)

@kano-chan: At least she's alive :D

@fallenxangel: I know, right?  kinda have to imagine a lot for the mad turtle... :shocked

@Swtme03: yeah, there's that mixed feelings for Sayu again, huh? :P

@badsaints: questions are good but they won't be answered just yet :twisted: and thankyou~ XD


So I wrote out this chapter and lost sleep for it XD
I really wish I could've fleshed it out a bit more and set the right mood more...  :panic:
But i revised this 5 times before updating so by then, i was just like, I'M DONE. :nervous

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 79

   Risa followed the Chinese girl outside to the back of the hospital building.  There was nobody around; only a couple garbage cans and some litter.  The bean wrapped her arms around herself, shivering from the cold air that indicated the arrival of winter. 

   Junjun suddenly stopped dead in her tracks and whipped around.  Her expression hardened as she glared at the person who had supposedly harmed the bunny.  Risa kept her gaze soft and apologetic as she looked right back at the panda.  She wanted that fist on her face right about now; she knew she deserved it.

   “You know I have a good reason to hate you right now,” Junjun said in a low voice.

   “I know.”

   “You know it’s something I will never forgive you for.”

   “I agree.”

   “Instead of taking my anger out on you,” Junjun continued, “I thought of maybe pushing Takahashi-san in front of a car so you would know how I feel.”

   “Don’t say that!” Risa yelled, her face wrinkling in misery.  “I’ll never let you lay a finger on Ai.  It’s all my fault, so don’t bring her into this.”

   “You’re right, it is all your fault,” the panda nodded.  “And Takahashi-san didn’t do anything so it would be unfair to her if I did such a thing.”

   “I know I’m guilty so just do what you need to do,” Risa sighed.  “I won’t run away.”

   “Oh I’m not going to hit you,” Junjun said.  “I found an even better way to get back at you.”

   “What’s that?” Risa asked.  The punch should come any minute now…

   “Take care of Michishige-san.”  Junjun bit down on her lips.

   “… I don’t understand,” Risa said, confused.  “What are you—”

   “Break up with Ai and go to Shige-san,” Junjun ordered.  “Give her what she wants.”

   “Are you crazy?” Risa shouted.  “You’re seriously asking me to do this?  That’s not right, Jun!”

   “Shige-san getting hit by a car because of you wasn’t right either!” Junjun yelled back as Risa flinched at the mentioning of the accident.  “She needs you!  She would be happy if you would only stay with her!  So you’re going to do exactly that!”

   “I thought you loved Sayu,” Risa whispered.

   “I do,” the panda growled.  “That’s why it sickens me to think about you standing next to her.  I wish I could break your bones the way Shige-san’s broke.  But that would hurt her, so I won’t do that.  Instead, I’m going to ruin you inside out.”

   “I won’t leave Ai,” Risa said firmly.  “This isn’t the way to fix things, Jun.  I’ll never do what you’ve asked me.”

   “But you said so yourself!” Junjun yelled.  She grabbed the collar of the bean’s sweatshirt and clenched her teeth.  “It was all your fault that this
happened to Michishige-san!  Now you have to take responsibility; this is your punishment!”

   “No, I can only love Ai—”

   “I DON’T GIVE A DAMN!” Junjun screamed.  Tears started to stream down her cheeks.  Risa’s eyes widened as she stared at the crying girl who was breathing heavily now.  “You… you have to take responsibility… you can’t leave Shige-san like that… don’t let me see her cry anymore, please…”

   Junjun’s legs slowly gave out as she slid down to the ground.  However, her hand still grabbed on to the edge of Risa’s shirt.  She let her tears flow and cried out, making the bean form her own tears.

   Then, Risa slowly started to realize.  Junjun never wanted to harm her or Ai.  Her original purpose wasn’t even to intimidate her; it was to beg.  She was pleading with her to stay with Sayumi so that she would be happy.  She had only put up a strong front to seem as though she was in charge but the truth was that she wasn’t even strong enough for that.  Hell, it even tore her apart to think that she would be splitting up the bean and her girlfriend; she was much too good-natured.  Although she was asking Risa to sacrifice her love for Sayumi’s sake, Junjun was also sacrificing her own feelings at the same time.  Her pain was something that Risa would never understand.

   “Don’t you… dare leave her like this…” the pianist sobbed, hiccupping in between phrases.  “You have to… take responsibility…  She doesn’t… deserve to… cry like that…”

   “Junjun… please stand up…”

   “Say that you’ll stay with her,” Junjun cried.  “Please… say that Shige-san will never be harmed again…”

   Risa clenched her fists tightly and bit down on her lips, enough to draw a little bit of blood.   Tears started to flow down uncontrollably at the thought of what she was about to do.  As the metallic taste started to spread in her mouth, Risa slowly nodded.

   “I will take responsibility,” she whispered.  “I will stay with Sayumi.”

   “You will never leave her,” Junjun stated.  “You will never ever put her through hardships.”

   “I will take responsibility,” Risa thought. 

   “And you will never let me see her cry again.”

   “I’m sorry, Ai… I’m so sorry…

   Junjun sighed in relief at the bean’s decision.  However, she couldn’t get herself to stand up.  As the thought of giving Sayumi to someone else crossed her mind, the Chinese girl started to cry out even harder.  Risa stifled her voice but her tears spoke louder than words. 

   Behind the corner of the building, a slim brown-haired girl stood silently.  She was holding on to a silver locket around her neck.  She smiled sadly as she looked down at the pendent.  She whispered to herself.

   “Risa… is a good girl…” 

   Too good.

Post by: aussie on August 17, 2010, 06:56:18 AM
...who does Junjun think she is to go ordering around other people to break off their current relationship just so she can keep the person she loves happy. Does she really think guilt-tripping Risa into staying with Sayu will really make her happy? I'm not sure who needs more enlightening, Junjun or Sayu by this point. Junjun may think she's sacrificing her feelings for Sayu by sending *coughforcingcough* Risa to be with Sayu, but she's gotta realise it's going to achieve nothing. Sayu knows and has now also seen that Risa was never interested in her, that isn't Risa's fault nor is it Risa's fault that Sayu got hit by the car. Girl couldn't control her emotions and selfishness that after Risa made it clear to her that she was in love with someone else she made the choice to run after her. Instead of coming across as an act of selflessness, Junjun's plea to Risa comes across as quite selfish actually. Responsibility? Punishment? Because Risa couldn't give Sayu what she wanted and now that Sayu got into an accident due to her own carelessness all of a sudden Risa is responsible for her and has to be punished? Wake up, Junjun. What about all those lies and deceptions Sayu had worked up to keep Risa away from Ai in the first place? Is she going to take responsibility for them at some point and be punished as well?


That was a long rant  :lol: I just couldn't stand Junjun's attitude in this chapter. She's just as lost as Sayu is.


EDIT: If it was TanaKame that Sayu/Junjun were breaking up I might have been harsher with my words XD Maybe it's a good thing that it wasn't so much that I care for TakaGaki in this fic, but the more I read the more Junjun is irritating me. Like badsaints said below, her character is the type of people I wouldn't want around ruining all of my personal relationships just so she can please her beloved.

Ya know, I actually agree with aussie on this. Practically because I detest ppl like Jun's character irl :smhid

What Jun perceive as her personal sacrifice is actually a selfish request which normally don't result in happy ending for all parties, even for Sayu. The initial happiness for the bunny is only short term once she realise she only has Risa physically but not mind & soul :( And this will hurt the bunny more. My guess is that Ai will, albeit reluctantly, agree to this also :nervous

You're right. A lot of your readers will be killing you :lol:

Risa agreed? That's just retarded  :angry:
GRAH.

"She doesn't deserve to cry like this"
Oh rly JunJun? don't make me come at you cause you won't like me mad :scolding: She's a spoiled brat that doesn't know how to lose and that loooooooves to ruin other's happiness. And I hate the likes of her and JunJun so much, that's why I'm so pissed.
Cough. and also coward types like Risa  :smhid Because she isn't able to stand up for what she loves, just so that JunJun's conscience can be fine and that snot can beam happily everyday. wrf?


Ok I'm done xD
You better fix this somehow D: Please? ;_;

I actually feel a bit sorry for Jun, yes they way she forced Gaki into giving up Ai for Saki as it was 'the right thing to do' is both stupid and cruel, as many people above have commented surely everyone can only get hurt like this, ironically the person who may get hurt the most is Sayu as she will see for herelf that Gaki has no love for her but only for Ai, I wonder if Sayu will start missing Jun a bit?

Why do I feel sorry for Jun, I suppose it's becasue I think she believes that she is doing the right thing for the person she loves (even though she's not) and she willing to give up everything for the girls she loves happiness, yes its selfish and yes it's cruel to others but Jun has become blinded to other things by her love of Sayu, I hope Jun can realize what she has done is wrong and try and save the situation!

Hmm I feel some proper Emo chapters coming up!!! :cry:

 :shocked:

Jun putting the blame right on Gaki-san like that? When she's probably feeling so horrible and vulnerable in her position... in a way, I'm quite  :angry: about that, but if I were in Jun's shoes, I'd probably do the same. >.<

Don't think we've seen Eri this worked up in the whole of the story so far  :(

Well, duh Sayumi will be okay. If you'd killed her off, that would've been the shock of the century for me.

BUT! How can Gaki-san be so hard on herself? It wasn't really her fault... or am I just trying to convince myself of that very reason  :sweatdrop:


Quote
“Instead of taking my anger out on you,” Junjun continued, “I thought of maybe pushing Takahashi-san in front of a car so you would know how I feel.”

 :OMG:

She said WHAT?!

:grr:

...

Quote
Her original purpose wasn’t even to intimidate her; it was to beg.

Jun... I REALLY REALLY don't like where this is going... REALLY. 

:badluck: :depressed:

Has she no idea that NO-ONE will be happy should Gaki-san break it off with Ai & stay by Sayumi? Not even Sayumi... everyone will be broken-hearted, and Sayu will know that Gaki-san deep down does not love her.


Quote
Behind the corner of the building, a slim brown-haired girl stood silently.  She was holding on to a silver locket around her neck.  She smiled sadly as she looked down at the pendent.  She whispered to herself.

   “Risa… is a good girl…” 

   Too good.

OH MY GAH, AI-CHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't imagine how painful that must have been for Ai-chan to watch and accept....  :fainted: :farofflook: :pleeease: :on speedy: :tntrm: :tama-excite: :mon cry:

Sometimes I like to lurk, but this latest chapter has popped me right out of my hole. XD
OMG the suspense is killing me
I understand where Junjun is coming from, but I never expected that it's this
Aww poor TakaGaki is seperated :cry:
I hope everything turns out all right
I'm wishing that, during the times Risa spends with Sayumi, Sayu realizes that Risa only loves Ai
To love a person is to set them free, only then can you move on. :)

Post by: SarangAi on August 18, 2010, 06:24:41 AM
No specific comment replies today; all the comments were kind of around the same idea so I'm just gonna make some general replies XD

So half of you seemed to be angry with Jun while the other half seemed to pity her.  Whatever your view is, you have a very good reason for it.

Junjun is such a good-natured girl that killing an ant would hurt her.  She considers Ai, Risa, Eri, and Reina her friends too.  That's why it kind of split her up inside to know that she couldn't give Sayumi what she wanted because that would bring TakaGaki some sadness.  But in the end, she made the wrong choice of deciding that Sayumi was first and above everything on her agenda.  But it still kills her inside to know she's brining misery to somebody else :(

One thing to know about Sayumi: She's just pure evil.  Mark my words. :smhid

One thing about Risa's current state: Guilt, guilt, and more guilt. :cry:

I think that does about it.  It's rather quite interesting to hear different opinions on the current plot, i'm enjoying myself :twothumbs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 80

   “Are you sure you don’t need to eat anything?” Ai asked.  “It’s almost lunch time.”

   “I’m not hungry,” Risa mumbled, keeping her gaze on the ground.

   The two girls were sitting together on the park bench.  They had been on their way to the bean’s house but Risa had wanted to stop by the park despite the cold weather.  Her entire body was stiff as she clenched her fist and bit down on her lips, overly conscious of her girlfriend sitting next to her.

   “You’re clothes are thin too,” Ai sighed.  “Maybe we should just go home…”

   “No, stay a little longer,” Risa insisted.  “I… I need to… tell you something…”

   “What is it?”

   “… I need you to…”

   “… Risa, you can tell me anything you want,” Ai encouraged.  She smiled sadly, knowing what was to come.  She was thankful that her younger girlfriend was not looking up to witness her miserable expression.

   “Ai…” Risa choked out, breathing slowly to calm herself, “I want you to break up with me.”

   “… and why should I do such a thing?”

   “Because I don’t have the right to leave you like this!” the younger girl yelled.  “And… you don’t deserve to be dumped.”

   “Why are you saying this so suddenly, Risa?” Ai said in a low voice, already knowing the answer.

   “Because someone else needs me more than you do,” Risa mumbled.  She could feel the tears jerking out again but she bit down on her lips to stop herself.  She knew she didn’t deserve to cry.

   “… You’re being quite cruel right now, Risa,” Ai said bitterly. 

   “I know I am,” the bean said, choking on her words.  “I know I’m hurting you by doing this—”

   “That’s not why,” the idol cut in.  “First of all, you’re asking me to break up with you because I don’t deserve to be dumped.  Is that really why you’re giving me the chance to be the dumper?  … Or is it because you don’t have the courage to leave me so you’re making me do it?”

   The younger girl looked up in shock.  Ai was looking straight forward, her lips pursed tightly while revealing no specific emotion.  Had her words really come off that way?  Was Risa really asking Ai to initiate the split-up because she wasn’t brave enough to leave her love behind?

   “Second of all,” the singer continued.  “You say we need to break up because there is someone who needs you more than I do.  How do you know that?  Do you have any idea how much I…”

   The older girl turned her head to meet her girlfriend’s wide eyes.  Ai’s lips were quivering a little while she gazed desperately at the younger girl.  Her emotions were completely revealed for the bean to read now; she was in pain.

   “I’m sorry,” the singer said quietly, looking away.  “I’m being very immature right now.  Forget what I said.”

   “No, you’re right,” Risa said, placing her hands on top of the idol’s which caused her to turn around.  “I… I’m scared to leave you.  I would want nothing more than to stay by your side forever.  And I need you as much as you need me.”

   “But…?”

   “… But I can’t.”  Junjun’s cries echoed in the younger girl’s head once more.  Her tears, her pain… which led back to her own guilt.

   “As much as I want to do whatever you tell me to do,” the singer sighed, “I don’t think I can get myself to break up with you.  So how about we call it a mutual thing?”

   “Ai…”

   “I will respect whatever choice you’re making,” the leader continued.  “And even if we’re not in a relationship, I’ll always be here for you.  Whenever you need a shoulder to lean on, or just a friend, you can come to me anytime.”

   The older girl smiled at the bean; but Risa could tell that something was off.  Although Ai’s lips were curved up, her eyes were filled with distress and pain. 

   “Stop that…” the younger girl whispered hoarsely.

   “Stop what?”

   “Stop being so nice to me!” Risa yelled, the tears finally bursting out.  “I don’t deserve your kindness; I never did and I never will!  So stop forcing yourself for me…”

   “You think I’m forcing myself?” Ai questioned.  “I’m really not kind at all, Risa.  If you knew what I was thinking right now…”  The singer closed her eyes for a mere second, but thousands of ideas flashed through her mind: love towards Risa, hate towards Sayumi, resent towards Junjun, and the pain at her heart…

   “I never should’ve involved myself in your life,” the bean sobbed.  “I never deserved such a big place in your heart.”

   “Don’t say that,” Ai whispered.  “These past weeks and days have been the most wonderful time of my entire life.  I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

   “… I’m so sorry…”

   “Shh.  Don’t say anything anymore.”  The leader cupped the younger girl’s face gently and lifted it to meet her eyes.  “Before we officially split… may I ask for one last parting gift?”

   “I’m so sorry…” Risa mumbled as she nodded, clenching her teeth. 

   The singer smiled sadly as she leaned in closer.  She pressed her lips as gently as possible against the bean’s pursed lips.  Risa started to loosen up, little by little, as they slowly moved against each other.  They both wanted to savor this last kiss; the warmth, the softness, the gentleness… Ai sighed one last time before backing away.

   “That’ll be enough to keep me going for a while,” she whispered.

   The leader stood up from the bench, followed by the younger girl.  Her smile did not fade away as she faced the girl she was still in love with.

   “If you truly made the right choice, Risa,” she said, “I don’t want to see you cry like this after we part.  Whenever I see you at work, I expect you to be in your most energetic state, understand?”

   Risa nodded wordlessly.  Ai smiled and gently stroked the younger girl’s cheek one last time.

   “Good-bye, my love,” she whispered.  “Be happy.”

   Without waiting for a response, the singer turned around and walked away from the younger girl.  Risa watched her exit the park and turn the corner, disappearing from her sight.  She stared at the empty spot for a little while before slowly starting to leave the park herself. 

   She went through the gates and turned into the street.  She walked around aimlessly as the cold air dried her tears.  She soon arrived at the shopping district where little stores were lined up, side by side.  Distant memories of her now previous lover flashed through her mind; her confession, her voice, her smile, her kiss, her touch…

   “This is my responsibility,” she thought monotonously.  “I just hurt two of my most important people in the world…  I will not ask to be forgiven.

   When she finally looked up to analyze her surroundings, Risa realized that she was in front of a hair salon.  A different voice zoomed through her mind… something that Eri had told her back in their teenage years…

   They say when you break up with someone, you’re supposed to cut your hair.  It symbolizes change and future hope…

   Something inside Risa’s chest burned.  She knew she didn’t deserve happiness, yet Ai had asked her to be happy.  She knew she didn’t deserve forgiveness but Ai had already forgiven her.  Even though she couldn’t expect a bright future… there was still the faintest wish for a little bit of light.  As much as she knew she wasn’t worthy of such a thing, Risa wanted that change; she wanted that future hope.

   The brown-haired girl swallowed as she clenched her fists tightly.  She then walked up the small steps and pushed through the salon doors.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh yeah.  I did it.  *Runs from TakaGaki fans* :on speedy:
But remember! i'm a TakaGaki fan too, so that should say something! :on freeze:

@SarangAi: Ahh, now I see where the hair question I asked a while ago comes in and why it is so important :) Nice tie-in with the story~  :twothumbs
And, I don't know why, but I keep on getting this Korean drama vibe from these past chapters! :nervous It's like... Aichan will go crazy after Risa leaves her again (after she says that she'll never lose her) and will attempt to drive off a cliff or something.  :doh: and then Risa will get all emo and what not and commit suicide... and then all hell would break out when Sayu realizes what she's done and she gets sent to some mental hospital or something...  :roll: woops sorry I'm rambling now.  XD

Sorry for my lack of comments! I've missed out on commenting on a few chapters. Hmm, I have to be quite honest with you... I haven't been reading with as much scrutiny as before recently.  :nervous IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR WRITING~! Seriously. It's just me... :P my life is in some kind of turmoil right now... :( me slowly losing interest in a lot of things... and reading all this angst is like stabbing a knife through my heart.  :cry: It's too much to handle! Your writing ish too good~~ :wub: I'm just gonna wait out all this drama in my life and tryto read diligently again in a little bit. (maybe a week/few days or so)  XD

Omg, that is so freaking sad!!  :cry:

Ai is really strong for being able to handle this as calmly as she did, though I guess it helps that she knew what was coming. I can only imagine her reaction if she hadn't.

Risa, she's really determined to go through with this. I have a feeling that Sayumi will take as much advantage of this as she can to get whatever she might want.

What will Jun do when she sees them together? Or will she avoid them all together?

And Risa finally cuts her hair. I hope you have in mind the sexy dark cut that came to just below her chin that she had just after she cut it and now. That is absolutely juicy on her. :drool:

Ai took the break up quite well, I wonder if it is becasue first of all she knew it was coming and seconf off all that she knows that the one that Gaki really loves is her and is willing to wait for Gaki to figure out that however responsible she may feel for the situation Sayu is in she cannot deny her heart!

It was intresting what you wrote about Ai resenting Jun, I would of though Ai would of been to understanding of Jun with her trails to get Gaki in the first place, why do I feel a confronation between Ai and Jun coming up!

I do wonder where you will take the Jun character from here, will she end up dissapering when she sees Gaki and Sayu together, will she stay to keep an eye on Gaki? will she see that she's been a complete idiot and try and put things right? I suppose I will see!

Final thought, I wonder How these events will affect Reina and Eri, just a thought.

Ok, Jun and Sayu better get their comeuppance. Just how they conduct themselves so they can live in their fairytale world at the expense of other innocent people. By the sounds of it, Ai is Sayu's biggest victim and what's more, she thinks Sayu is in the right and that she had wronged Risa in the past which stopped her from revealing herself as "Ai-chan". I wonder how Jun will take it once Sayu's cover is blown and all her lies and deceptions are uncovered. Or Sayu can come to her enlightenment no matter how hard she tries she won't be able to win Risa's heart, and she can live in misery knowing she has Risa in body but not in mind.
And as I no longer see Jun as a victim, I don't exactly wish her the best for the rest of the story :lol:

@rnmdnwierd: yes, Sayu taking advantage of everything is the exact train of thought :)

@fallenxangel: would Sayu listen? :cry:

@oddball: Ai usually keeps her composure, except when it comes to Risa.  that's why she feels resent towards Jun, even though she doesn't show it :( oh, and TanaKame will get involved again soon :) nice set of analysis there, i enjoyed it! :D

@kano-chan: I am so sorry.... I was trying not to cry while I was writing it too  :cry:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 81

   Something felt warm.  She couldn’t move an inch of her body but she could tell someone was next to her.  Who was it?  Who was touching her hand?  She wanted to see the mystery person.  She tried to open her eyes but it felt as though something heavy was pushing down on her entire body, preventing her from doing anything.  But she just needed to check who was next to her!

   “Look!  Her eyelashes just moved; she’s starting to wake up!”

   She could never mistake that voice.  It was her.  She definitely had to wake up now; she had to see her face!

   She was greeted by the bright florescent light above in the ceiling.  Somebody sighed in relief next to her.  She turned her neck as much as she could— which wasn’t a lot— to see who the owner of the voice was. 

   The girl she was in love with was sitting by her bedside; their hands were tightly curled around each other’s.

   “Risa-chan…?” the patient whispered.

   “I’m right here, Sayu,” the older girl answered, smiling.  “Welcome back.”

   “How long have I been out?”

   “Just a couple days.”

   “It feels like weeks.”

   “That’s because you were the one sleeping, silly,” Risa chuckled.  “Junjun and I’ve been visiting you every day.”

   Only then, Sayumi spotted the Chinese girl in the corner of the room.  She was leaning against the wall, staring at the tiled floor.  Her face was hard with no expression; she made no indication of wanting to join the conversation.  Of course, Sayumi really didn’t care about that so much with Risa sitting right beside her. 

   “Why are you here?” the younger girl whispered, slipping her casted hands out of the bean’s grip.  “Shouldn’t you be with your girlfriend?”

   “What girlfriend?” Risa grinned, taking her friend’s injured hand back into her hold.  “Sayumi, I’m next to you right now because I’ll always be next you.  I’m here to stay.”

   “… You’ll stay with me?” Sayumi gasped, her eyes widening.  “You’re accepting my feelings?”  She tried to get up from the bed.  Risa quickly pushed her back down.

   “Yeah, I am, so don’t try to get up,” the older girl warned.  “You’re entire left side of the body should rest, so don’t do anything funky.”

   “Risa-chan!”

   The patient weakly tugged on the bean’s arm, trying to pull her down.  Risa laughed as she bent down to give the bunny the hug she wanted.  Sayumi embraced the girl she loved as tight as she could without stretching her muscles too much.  Then, she realized something was missing as Risa backed away.

   “Risa-chan!” she cried.  “Your hair!”

   The bean’s light brown hair was cropped short, all the way up in between her ears and shoulders.  Sayumi had been too preoccupied with the mere fact that Risa was next to her to realize such a big transformation.

   “Oh, I thought it was time for a change… you know,” Risa grinned, flipping her non-existent hair strands.

   “I’m not an idiot, Risa-chan,” Sayumi thought, pursing her lips.  “Eri told both of us about the meaning behind cutting hair.  You may be upset about leaving Ai-chan, but now you’re with me.  I’ll never let you go… and you’ll learn to love me as time passes.

   The bunny smiled as she took the older girl’s hand again.  Risa squeezed back, grinning.

   “I’m going to be here every day,” she said.  “So your part of the deal is to rest and get well as soon as possible, okay?”

   “Okay,” the younger girl nodded.  “I love you, Risa-chan.”

   “I love you too.”

   As Sayumi continued to chatter on with the bean, the pianist stood still like a statue in the corner of the room.  She glanced at the two girls talking by the bed.

   “Shige-san is happy now,” she thought, “so I should be happy.  But… why does my chest still hurt?  Is it this painful to let go of love...?” 

   She pounded a fist over her right chest as she wrinkled her forehead in deep thought.

   “Then how much pain did I give Gaki-san…?

 :roll: Gee, that wasn't too hard to work out huh? Jun will also slowly start to learn that the longer Risa keeps up the pretense of 'being responsible' for Sayu and lying to herself, the more Sayu will get hurt. Sayu would know deep down with time that no matter what she does she'll never be that special person for Risa. I'd hate to imagine how much more delirious Sayu will turn out to be as she fights her desperation. And Jun will have played no small part in it. Even if she belatedly tries to amend things and reunite Risa and Ai, she is already responsible for allowing Sayu to have Risa to herself. When that is ripped away from Sayu, I don't think she'll be able to handle it well.


I would be curious to see how this will affect Eri and Reina's relationship. Will Reina stand on Ai's side and blame Sayu? Will their relationship be strained as Eri is Sayu's cousin and she feels a family responsibility, while Reina feels her loyalty to Ai? I sort of want to see a RenAi interaction, with Reina showing her loyal side to Ai, but I'm torn because that'll have to mean conflict with Eri  :sweatdrop:


(Oh, how about ending your story exactly on 100 chapters? If that's not too much for you, that is :D)

Actually, I read this line in a way...hm..how to describe...I read it in a good way. :nervous My first impression of reading this part was Sayumi talking in a soft voice, kind of like she understands how Risa feels and sort of feels sad too. Though, she is determined to give Risa happiness. I guess, if you meant it for her to be evil, you should have added a bit more description like Sayumi letting out a scoff or something. :)

Poor Junjun. She must be really broken to see all this happen because of what she said. I hope things turn out all right for her. Update soon ^^

Hmm, Risa did pretty well not to show any pain in front of Sayu, but I wonder how long that will last or if the bunny even really cares. Does she even have a selfless side? Somehow, I hope not . XD Won't be as much angst if she did.

And Jun, yeah, I kind of resent her too, will she ever be able to make her mistake right?

@fallenxangel: Well, TanaKame was shocked by Ai and Risa are both so casual about it so... well, you'll see XD

@Swtme03: so much pain going on.. :cry:

@rndmnwierd: your last line made me LOL :lol:

@kano-chan: true, it's not a story without angst, huh? :P

Chapter 82

   “So that’s what’s happening this month!” Tsunku exclaimed, clapping his hands together.  “Can we work on it right away?”

   The producer looked around the blank faces of his staff and idols.  He cleared his throat once, and nobody seemed to come back down to earth.   He cleared his throat louder and banged the table with a fist.  Everybody jumped and turned their attention back to the head man.

   “Did everybody hear what I just said?” Tsunku questioned.  “I’m talking about future plans for High-Queen; this is important stuff!”

   “We heard everything,” Ai yawned.  “Our next single is going to have two couplings: Reina’s solo and my solo.”

   “We’re having a special performance hour on Song Fighter for Christmas,” Reina continued, “where we’ll perform all three songs.”

   “I’m supposed to have a meeting with High-Queen to pick out the single and the couplings,” Risa said. 

   “And right after that, I’ll design something appropriate for the special live event,” Eri jumped in.  “Tsunku-san, we all heard you.”

   “… Well,” the flabbergasted producer said, “I guess you all were listening.  Amazing how some people can look so out of it yet be so into it… Ah well, if you heard me, that’s good.  Any ideas for the single, Niigaki-san?”

   “Actually, there’s something that I saw before in her notebook,” Ai interrupted.  “May I suggest something, Risa?”

   “By all means,” the bean smiled.

   “‘Shouganai Yume Oibito’,” the leader said.  “I think that should be our next single.”  Risa smile dropped.

   “‘Helpless Dream Chaser’, huh?” the producer mumbled.  “It sounds interesting.  What do you think, Niigaki-san?  Is there a chance it’ll be a hit?”

   “… I don’t know—”

   “It’s definitely a guaranteed charter,” Ai jumped in.  “I’ve seen it, and it’s amazing.  Give it a chance, Tsunku-san.”

   “Have you seen it, Tanaka?”

   “You don’t need my opinion,” Reina said in a low voice.  “This is Ai— your top performer— telling you that it’s going to be a definite hit.”

   “I don’t think it’s that definite—” Risa started.

   “Well, if both girls think it’s good material…” Tsunku mumbled.

   “But if the song writer herself doesn’t think it’s the right choice…” Eri started, trying to rescue her friend.

   “It’s that song plus our talent,” Ai said boldly.  “I believe Risa has what it takes to make it sound good… and I can make it sound better.”

   “This isn’t just about you, Ai,” Eri growled.  “This is also about your partner—”

   “I can make it sound better too,” Reina cut her girlfriend off, receiving a glare in return.  “I’m with Ai in this one.”

   “Well, I certainly have faith in High-Queen’s talent as well as yours, Niigaki-san,” Tsunku said.  “And if the singers really feel for this song, I believe we should go with it.”

   “… Okay,” Risa sighed.  “I’ll work on the instrumental, then.”

   “Good, we want to start recording in a week,” the producer decided.  He turned to his performers.  “I want you two to get the score from Niigaki-san and practice, understand?”

   “Yes,” the idols answered in unison.

   “Okay, meeting over.”

   Tsunku walked out of the room.  All four girls gathered their own bags and belongings and followed the producer out.  The elevator dinged as soon as Risa pressed the button.  She and the older singer walked in but Eri pulled Reina out.

   “I forgot something back in the room,” she said.  “Wait for me downstairs, Risa-chan, and give Ai the score.”

   “Okay.”

   “I’m going ahead, Reina,” Ai said.

   The elevator door closed and the yankii turned to walk down the hallway again.  But the turtle grabbed her arm and spun her around, glaring.  Reina caught on in an instant: Eri didn’t leave anything behind in the meeting room.

   “Why did you do that?” Eri whispered furiously.

   “Do what?”

   “What you just did back there!” the older girl growled.  “Risa-chan obviously didn’t want to give you guys that song.  Why did you side with Ai?”

   “I believe my leader makes right choices when it comes to important matter,” the yankii whispered back.

   “But you didn’t have to agree with her anyway!” Eri yelled in a hushed tone.  “And I don’t even know why Ai was being so stubborn back there; I know they just broke up but that was low to corner Risa like that by getting Tsunku-san’s interest!”

   “Hey, don’t talk about Ai like that!” Reina said, her tone a little less than friendly now.  “She’s not the type to get that kind of petty revenge just because she lost her girlfriend.”

   “…I know that,” Eri sighed, sounding sad rather than angry.  “That’s why I’m worried for them.  Risa just came home that day and told me so cheerfully that they broke up.  And she even cut her hair…  She never told me the exact reason either.  But personally, I think it’s because she feels guilty about Sayumi.”

    “Well, I’m glad you think that way because that’s what I was thinking too,” Reina sighed.  “No offense, but your cousin can be…”

   “Bratty?  Immature?  Unreasonable?” Eri suggested.

   “Something like that,” the yankii grumbled.  She actually hadn’t been thinking of an exact adjective; there was just something off about her to Reina.  Basically, she just didn’t like her.

   “I hate seeing Risa like this,” Eri whined.  “I wish there was just something I could do for them…”

   “Hey, neither of them are kids, okay?” Reina comforted.  “They can sort out their own problems.  All we have to do is stand by in the sidelines and be there for them when they need us.”

   “I guess you’re right…” Eri nodded.  “Risa… Sayumi… They’re all so important to me…

**  **  ** 

   Risa dropped her bag to the elevator floor and took out a booklet.  On the cover was the title of High-Queen’s next single.  She straightened her back and handed the leader the score.

   “This is it,” Risa said, casually.

   “You just carry it around?” Ai asked, raising an eyebrow.

   “It’s… an important song,” Risa said.  “I actually have everything made already… even a demo of the instrumental.”

   “I guess we can work fast on this then,” Ai smiled. 

   She lowered her bag on her shoulders and unzipped it to put the score away.  Risa swung her own purse back up to her shoulders, but knocked the singer’s bag to the floor in the process, scattering everything around.

   “I’m so sorry!” Risa apologized, bending down to gather up the spilled belongings.

   “It’s fine,” Ai laughed, bending down.  “You can leave it.”

   “No, it’s my fault, I was careless,” the bean said, dumping the things she gathered back into the singer’s bag.

   “Thank you, Risa,” the idol said, straightening her back.  “By the way, you look good with the short hair.  It suits you.”

   “Thanks,” the younger girl grinned.  “And you always look good.”

   “Make-up,” Ai joked.  “It does wonders.”

   Risa laughed at the older girl’s remark.  The elevator dinged, indicating that they had reached the ground floor.  The two girls walked out and faced each other again.

   “Well, I’m heading home,” Ai said.  “I’ll see you next time.”

   “Un, see you.”

   The singer turned around and walked towards the exit.  Risa watched her get further and further away as her smile disappeared from her lips.  She thought about how casually they had just spoken for the whole day.  It seemed as though they had no special relationship at all in the first place.  But Risa knew that they both still held the pain of lost love inside.

   “Her back looks so lonely,” she thought.  “I wonder how lonely I look right now…

So start playing the song when it starts in the story... don't watch the vid though, just listen and read, it makes a difference :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 83

   The leader kicked off her sneakers and shuffled into the apartment.  She was very tired; who knew it would be so hard to resist flirting with your ex-girlfriend?  She wanted to just lie down for a while but she managed to drag herself to the bathroom to wash up. 

   She went into her room and dropped her bag, which was still unzipped, allowing a couple trinkets to fall out.  But Ai didn’t care; all she cared about was getting into some comfortable clothes and sleeping. 

   She stripped and pulled a long t-shirt over her head.  As she turned to face her bed, she noticed something by her bag that she didn’t recognize.  Ai walked over and took the flat plastic square into her hand: it was a CD case.  The actual white disc didn’t have anything written on it. 

   The leader cocked her head to the side, trying to figure out how it got into her bag.  Then it hit her.  She had dropped her bag and everything had fallen out… Risa had helped her put everything back in… Could this CD be from…?

   Ai didn’t feel so sleepy anymore.  She immediately dashed to her desk drawer and started to dig for her old CD player.  She had never used it since she got an MP3 player, but she was sure it was in there somewhere. 

   Finally, the round silver object was unearthed from the drawer.  Ai dashed back to her bed and sat cross-legged, right in the middle.  She plugged in the listening device into her ears and popped the CD in.  She then sighed to calm herself, and clicked the “play” button.

   There was silence for a while.  Someone cleared her throat. 

   “Ah, ah.  Mic check, mic check… is this thing on?” It was a playful and confused voice.  Ai smiled at the familiarity.  “Oh wait; it is on… that’s awkward.

   That did it; Ai started to giggle out loud as the voice on the CD started to mumble something about volume adjustment.  The person then cleared her throat again, and started to speak.

   “I wrote this in one night because the song and the lyrics came to me,” Risa’s voice said calmly.  “This one’s for you, Ai.  Please listen to it… ‘Never Forget’.”

   A soft guitar line started to play at a reasonably fast pace.  The leader hugged the CD player to her chest, as though it would help her to hear better.  The guitar was joined by the drums and the beat got slightly faster.  It sounded… happy.  A familiar voice entered the song, but it wasn’t speaking anymore.

I’ll never forget you
I won’t ever forget about you
I wanted to stay by your side forever
But I guess it can’t be helped
Ah, I think I’m going to cry

   The idol’s eyes widened.  Risa… was singing for her.  She had written this song while thinking of her.  But why did it have to be because of their break-up?  That was her only regret.

Here’s a toast to the day we met
My hair has grown longer since then
Did you know that?

   Ai started to laugh.  It was so ironic; indeed, Risa’s hair had grown longer since they met.  But now she cut it so it was way shorter than when they first met.  But of course, that didn’t change the fact that it had grown… before she cut it.

Was it chance that we met?
Then is our parting also a stroke of luck?

   Ai’s lips pursed together.  She wanted to say that their meeting was not chance, it was fate.  But who was listening?

The stars you see in Tokyo
And the stars you see back at home
You taught me that they were the same

   “But you taught me so much more,” Ai thought, closing her eyes.  The song turned into the chorus again.

I’ll never forget you
I won’t ever forget about you
I wanted to stay by your side forever
But I guess it can’t be helped

You’ll never forget me
Don’t ever forget about me
I wanted to stay by your side a little longer
But it’s time to part now
Ah, I think I’m going to cry

   “Idiot…” Ai thought, sniffling to hold her tears back.  “Putting such sad lyrics with a happy tune… Are you trying to cheer yourself up?”  The song turned out of the chorus and into the second verse.

Memory is such a simple thing
So even sadness can turn into a mere memory too

   Ai bit down on her bottom lip.  Could it really?  Could such sadness, such pain become just a memory?  Could it really become just another part of the past?

We’ll surely meet again
We’ll surely laugh together
Our next meeting is inevitable

   “We’ll always see each other,” Ai thought.  “And we can laugh together too.  But can we laugh in earnest?  Risa, can you truly laugh from your heart?  Because I don’t think I’ll be able to do it…

   The song traveled on to the interlude.  A soft guitar solo played along with the drums in the background.  Soon, the melody came to the light melody from the beginning again, as Risa’s chorus of “Na-na-na”s entered the song.  Ai closed her eyes, trying to vision her ex-lover singing.  Her smile, her laugh, her voice… it all pierced through her mind.

I’ll never forget you
I won’t ever forget about you
I wanted to stay by your side forever
But I guess it can’t be helped

You’ll never forget me
Don’t ever forget about me
I wanted to stay by your side a little longer
But it’s time to part now
Ah, I think I’m going to cry

   Ai heard the voice crack on the last line.  The song continued to play as quiet sniffling came along with it.  The singer’s own tears started to slowly trickle down her cheeks.

   The song finally came to a close, leaving only the quiet sobbing in the background.  She cleared her throat again to speak.

   “I’ve always been very cruel to you,” the voice said shakily.  “But this is another selfish request: Please don’t forget about me…  Gomenasai.  Arigatou.  Sayonara.

   Silence took over the audio and the CD came to a stop.  Ai sat still, staring into space, having completely lost control over her tears.  She didn’t even make any sounds but they just poured out of her eyes and dropped down to her bed sheets.

   “Gomenasai… Arigatou…” Ai echoed in her head.  “Sayonara…

   The knot in her throat finally broke.  Ai started to breathe heavily, then sob, then cry out.  She didn’t care who was listening, she started to bawl as loud as she could.  Her hands immediately went to her chest.  She reached down her shirt and took out the pendent around her neck and clutched it to her heart.  She bent over as though in immense pain and cried out, her face being immersed in tears. 

   It hurt too much.  She had always been the responsible and mature type, just the way a leader should be.  But she never knew that those qualities would get in the way of fighting for what she wanted.  Why couldn’t she just be selfish for once?  Why couldn’t she hold on to Risa?  Screw Sayumi!  Screw Junjun!  That’s what she wanted to yell out but… it was not in her nature.  Ai knew that already, which made everything worse.

   She continued to wail while holding the CD player and the locket in her hands.  There was a click sound from the living room, then some quick thumping noises.  Ai’s bedroom door burst open to reveal her yankii partner, eyes wide in shock. 

   Reina quickly dashed over to the side of the older girl’s bed and paused.  She didn’t know what to do.  Her friend was crying in pain right in front of her, but she didn’t know what to do.  This had never happened before; should she say something?  Should she tell her to be strong or just let her cry?

   Then, the younger singer just let her impulse take over.  She sat next to Ai on her bed and wrapped her arms around her.  Feeling the warmth and care from Reina’s hug, the crying girl embraced her back and sobbed into her shoulders.  That was all Ai needed; she just needed someone to be there for her. 

   “Just wait in the sidelines and be there for them,” Reina thought to herself.  “I guess I was more right than I thought…

...I just died a little... That was so sad, but fitting, in a way. A song brought them together, a song should be there as they part. Poor Ai, finally letting it all go, but she still has Reina to look out for her. I wonder if Risa will break like that in front of Eri?

Chapter 82
Pretty cool how they heard everything Tsunku said. :O2
Reina stood up for Ai-chan too! :yep:

At least say something about the break up, but that would be pretty sad. :O

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 84

   “Why do I keep on losing?” Sayumi whined, throwing her cards down.

   “You keep on forgetting to say ‘Uno’, that’s why,” Eri explained, rolling her eyes.

   “It’s not fair!” the bunny complained.  “Both of you see that I only have one card left in my hand before I do; how am I supposed to say ‘Uno’ first?”

   “That’s the point of the game, Sayu,” Risa laughed.

   The three friends were playing “Uno” together on Sayumi’s bed.  The youngest girl was sitting up, thanks to the remote-controlled bed, and Risa was sitting with her because the bunny insisted upon it.  Eri was sitting separately on a chair.  Junjun was standing in a corner, once again, staring at the floor.

   “We’ll play again,” Eri decided.  “Junjun, are you sure you don’t want to join us?”

   “I’m fine, thank you Kamei-san,” the panda answered.

   “Well then, I’ll shuffle the deck again…” the turtle mumbled, gathering the cards into a pile.  Before she could start to deal, there was a knock at the door.

   “Come in,” Sayumi called.

   The door clicked open to reveal two beautiful girls that they were all familiar with.  The older one was wearing a thin sweatshirt over a tank-top with jeans, despite the cold December weather.  Her long brown hair was up in a messy bun.  The younger girl was in her usual pigtails-do with a purple vest over a long-sleeve white shirt.  She was wearing black boots with a black mini skirt, contradicting the winter season just like her leader.  The elder girl was holding a bouquet of flowers while the younger was holding a plastic bag.

   “Ai…” Risa breathed.  She tried to get up but she was quickly tugged back down by her shirt.  She turned around to face Sayumi’s pout.

   “Don’t get up,” she whined quietly.  “Stay beside me.”

   The bean pursed her lips as she made herself comfortable on the bed again.  She had almost forgotten that she wasn’t Ai’s anymore, she was Sayumi’s.  But she still couldn’t stop herself from watching the singer greet the pianist in the corner of the room.

   “Reina-chan!  Ai!” Eri yelled in surprise, standing up.  “What are you two doing here?”

   “We thought we would visit Michishige-san in the hospital,” Ai said, smiling.  “After all, she is our fashion coordinator’s cousin.  And we got pretty well-acquainted the last time we met.”

   The leader walked past the turtle towards the patient.  Eri quickly shuffled over to her girlfriend and spoke in a low voice so that only they could hear.

   “Whose idea was this?” Eri asked.  “Why would Ai want to come here?  Doesn’t she know that Risa and Sayumi are…”

   “Of course she knows,” the yankii whispered back.  “She doesn’t have a special reason; Ai is actually here to just visit your cousin.  It’s proper manner and courtesy, and she’s the kind of person that follows it.  That’s all, really.”

   “…Normally I wouldn’t believe that,” Eri sighed.  “But because it’s Ai we’re talking about, I think it makes sense.”

   “Yeah, we’re not here to make trouble babe, don’t worry,” Reina comforted.  She held up the plastic bag in her hand.  “Look, we even brought apples.  That’s as friendly as I can get, you know.”

   “Thanks, Reina-chan,” Eri smiled, giving her a quick peck on the cheek. 

   She then turned around to focus on the interaction between her cousin and the older singer.  As Ai handed the patient the bouquet of flowers, Sayumi’s lips stretched out into the sweetest smile on earth.

   “That is so very kind of you, Takahashi-san!” she squealed.  “And I love freesias too… thank you so much!”

   “I’m glad you like them,” Ai said, smiling.  “I hope you get well soon, Michishige-san.  And it looks like you will, since you look very happy today.”

   “Oh, I’m very happy these days,” Sayumi giggled.  She linked her arm with the bean’s and leaned on her shoulder.  “Since Risa-chan and I are together now, that is.”

   Risa looked down, trying to hide the obvious discomfort of her ex-girlfriend seeing her with her current girlfriend.  Eri gasped softly, scared of how Ai may react to Sayumi’s senseless remark.  Reina put her arm around the turtle to calm her down but she herself scowled deeply.  Junjun gritted her teeth as her fist got tighter.  But despite the sudden tension in the air, Ai smiled at the newly-made couple in front of her.

   “That’s good,” she commented.  “Congratulations.  You two look good together.”

   “That idiot,” Reina thought.  “Will you stop acting selfless for once?

   “We do look good together, don’t we?” Sayumi babbled on.  “We’ve known each other since forever, so I think it’s only natural.  Don’t you think so, Risa-chan?”

   “Mm… Yeah…” the older girl mumbled, still not looking up.

   “And we’ve been so close to each other,” the bunny giggled, “so it’s not that hard to get even closer.”

   Suddenly, Sayumi cupped Risa’s cheek and turned her head towards her.  Without any warning, she leaned in and kissed the bean on her lips. 

   Risa’s eye widened in shock.  Junjun’s eyes also grew bigger as her jaws tightened.  Eri gasped louder this time as she subconsciously started to move forward.  Reina wrapped her arms around the turtle’s waist and pulled her back, as she tried to root herself to the floor.  She observed her leader’s face, expecting some indication of shock.  But Ai’s features were completely smooth and expressionless as she watched the two girls in front of her kiss; but her fists were curled tightly behind her back.

   Risa finally came back to her senses and pushed the bunny back a little.

   “Sa-Sayumi!”

   “Aw, don’t be shy, Risa-chan,” the younger girl giggled.  “Although you’re really cute like that.”

   The bean turned red as she kept her head down.  She was embarrassed; she felt like she had been shamed, being kissed like that in front of her ex-lover.  She could only imagine Ai’s expression; was she angry?  Was she shocked?  Was she sad?  But instead of any predictions that Risa made, a soft laughter came from where the singer was standing.

   “You two really are close to each other,” Ai chuckled.  “Well, you seem happy enough to heal fast, Michishige-san.  Reina and I need to go now; we just stopped by on our way to our dance lesson.”

   “We don’t have dance lesson today,” Reina grumbled to herself, allowing only Eri to hear her thoughts.

   “Okay then,” the patient smiled.  “Thank you for stopping by, Takahashi-san and Tanaka-san.  It was very sweet of you.”

   “Our pleasure,” Ai answered.  “Come by the studio when you feel better.  We can have a longer conversation then.”

   The leader turned and started to walk towards the door, tapping her partner’s arm along the way.  Reina let go of her girlfriend, leaned towards her, and whispered in her ear.

   “Ai won’t lose her cool over this,” she murmured.  “So you have to keep your composure too.  Don’t do anything rash, you hear me?”

   “I don’t want to promise that to you,” Eri growled.  “Sayumi needs to be taught—”

   “According to current rules of our life, Risa and Sayumi are going out,” Reina interrupted.  “All your cousin did was kiss her girlfriend.  She didn’t break any rules.  So stay composed, alright?”

   “… Fine.”

   “That’s my girl,” the yankii whispered.  She gave her a quick kiss on her forehead before following her leader out of the room.

   “That was our first kiss, wasn’t it, Risa-chan?” Sayumi exclaimed happily, causing Eri to turn her attention back to her friends.  “I’m so happy now!”

   “Yeah…” the older girl mumbled.

   “I love you so much, Risa-chan,” the bunny said, leaning on her girlfriend.

   “I love you too,” the bean replied back.  Those words were almost habitual now.

   The bunny sighed contently as she linked her arms with Risa’s.  Eri watched the two girls sitting together on the bed.  She then turned to look at Junjun in the corner, who was staring at the floor with the most miserable expression in the world.  The turtle turned her attention back to her cousin.

   “Sayumi, you’re not a child anymore,” she thought, wrinkling her eyebrows.  “Junjun already sacrificed her feelings because she loved you.  When are you going to realize that loving someone also means letting them go…?

Actually, that chapter made me resent Jun even more. Sayu was (reluctantly) accepting that Risa had her heart set on someone else, until Jun decided to intervene and 'make her happy' and make Risa 'responsible' for her. I hope she was feeling miserable not because of Sayu kissing Risa, but for Ai and Risa. It's like Jun is turning Sayu more and more into this spoilt and possessive brat. Sayu is no angel, but she is also used to being pampered by those around her, and no one bothered to enlighten her that she can't force Risa to 'love' her. And with Jun having clumsily played matchmaker by guilt-tripping Risa, it's going to be even more difficult. Well done Jun, you've achieved your aim by making Sayu the only person happy in this situation. So happy that she's losing herself. I sure wouldn't have minded Eri just let her anger go. It was pretty strange to see Reina be the one doing the restraining but I guess she knows and understands Ai well enough to act rashly. Though I get the feeling that Reina will be shaking Ai up a bit once they are by themselves :lol:

that last chapter gave a good indication to what Jun might do

83 was really good and I guess something Risa had to do and even though it hurts her she tried to make it less hurtful than usual

@kawaii beam: oh yeah, Sayu's just evil :twisted:

@kano-chan: NO! don't die... it's not that bad... yet... :bleed eyes:

@aussie: actually, Sayu already accepted the fact Risa loved Ai.  But she just didn't CARE.  she thinks if she keeps Risa with her, she'll eventually love her.  Jun realized Sayu's logic and although she didn't want to, she made the decision to help her (which she knows was the wrong choice, but she loves teh bunny too much) :cry:

@fallenxangel: LOL I think you can give a nice verbal beating to sayu XD

@Swtme03: ... I'm sorry. Too much angst? :cry:LOL Karma :D

@kurosawa87: yeah... they're all trying their best but it's hard not to be hurt from this :(

@rndmnwierd: doesn't everyone? :angry: XD


So there's a lot more tears coming up... I think i'm posting two chapters today too  :twothumbs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 85

   “Cut!” Tsunku shouted angrily.  Risa immediately stopped the music as the two idols in the recording booth removed their headphones.  “Takahashi!  That’s about the tenth time today!”

   The High-Queen leader lowered her head, realizing her faults.  Reina glared at her producer while glancing nervously at the older girl.  The two singers had been recording “Shouganai Yume Oibito” for a couple hours now, and Tsunku had stopped them every time because Ai wasn’t concentrating.  She would keep on spacing out, not sing with enough feeling, or sing with too much feeling.  Eri was sitting quietly on the sofa in the back of the room, biting her nails.  Risa’s expression got more and more worrisome.

   “Takahashi, you’re not the least bit focused today!” Tsunku yelled into the intercom.  “And we’ve been working for several hours now…”

   “Maybe we should take a break, Tsunku-san…” Risa slowly started.

   “Another one?” the producer roared.  “We’ve already had more breaks than we needed.  And this recording session has been going on for too long!”

   “Annoying old man,” the yankii muttered under her breath.

   “You know what, I just don’t think today’s the right day anymore,” Tsunku sighed, shaking his head.  “We’ll set up a different meeting for this…”

   With that, the producer tiredly walked out of the recording studio.  The two singers shuffled out of the booth.  Eri jumped up and skittered over to her girlfriend and gave her a bottle of water.  She then handed one to Ai as well.

   “Tsunku-san was a little harsh today, wasn’t he?” the turtle said carefully.

   “‘Harsh’ doesn’t even cover it!” the yankii growled, gulping down a hearty amount of water.  “How dare he speak to us like that!  He might as well be living off on our talent!”

   “Reina, he only yelled at me,” Ai laughed softly, not seemingly upset at all.  “And he still has v-u-den, tanpopo, and other groups too.”

   “Even more so, how dare he speak to you like that!” Reina yelled again.  “Just because we had a couple NGs…”

   “No, it was my fault,” Ai sighed.  “I was unfocused today.”

   “Something weighing on your mind?” Eri questioned.

   The older singer looked down at her hands.  She thought about what she had witnessed back in the hospital a week ago.  She shut her eyes tightly, trying to remove the painful memory.

   “No,” she answered, smiling.  “I guess I’m just tired.”

   “If you need any help, Ai,” Eri said sincerely, “you can always talk to us.  We’re your friends.”

   “I know that,” Ai chuckled.  “Thanks, Eri.”

   “I’m out of here,” Reina grumbled, grabbing her coat from the sofa.  “That old man put me in a bad mood.” 

   She stalked out of the recording studio.  Eri quickly gathered her own things and followed her out.

   “I better make sure she doesn’t go to a bar or anything,” she explained before she closed the door behind her.  “I’ll see you at home, Risa-chan!”

   “Okay, call me if you’re staying out late!”

   Soon, the bean and the leader were left alone in the studio.  Risa started to turn off the recording system and clean up.  She stood up and pushed her chair in.  Ai walked over to the couch and started to pack away the score and the water bottle back into her bag.  She removed her ponytail and shook her hair loose. 

   “I thought the recordings were fine,” Risa suddenly said, breaking the silence.  “I think Tsunku-san was just stressed today.  He was over-thinking it.”

   “You’re still a terrible liar, Risa,” Ai chuckled, straightening her back with her belongings in her arms.  “My voice wasn’t the same today.”

   “No, it was the same,” the bean contradicted.  “It’s just like you said; you were unfocused.”

   “You’re right,” the leader grinned.  She walked to the door and reached for the handle.  As she was about to say her farewells, Risa’s words stopped her dead in her tracks.

   “Is it because of Sayumi?”

   Risa bit down on her lips as soon as the serious question escaped her mouth.  What the hell was she saying?  They were supposed to keep a casual atmosphere, weren’t they?  Why did she bring up that time from the hospital?  As she started to call herself stupid in her head, Ai’s reply came softly.

   “Do you think so?”

   “Yes,” the bean choked out.  “Stop it, Risa!  What do you think you’re saying? Don’t bring that up with Ai!  You’re causing more trouble for her…

   “Interesting,” Ai laughed.  She sounded colder now, more scornful.  It wasn’t the usual, composed and smooth voice of hers anymore.  Risa didn’t recognize this tone at all.  “You think I’m the type to get bothered from watching my ex-girlfriend kiss a different person?”

   “Did it bother you?” the bean asked boldly.  “Be quiet, Risa!  Ai doesn’t even sound normal anymore, you’re going overboard!  Why am I being so straightforward about this?

   There was silence for a while.  The bean carefully watched the idol’s back stiffen and her fists clench.  Suddenly, Ai dropped all her belongings to the ground and locked the door.  She whipped around and quickly marched over to her ex-girlfriend and grabbed her wrists.  She pushed her back and slammed her against the wall as Risa gasped in shock.  Before she could say anything, Ai attacked the younger girl’s lips, roughly and mercilessly.  The younger girl’s eyes widened as she tried to break away, but the singer was much stronger than her. 

   The leader bit down on Risa’s bottom lip, hard enough to draw a little blood, eliciting a yelp from her previous lover.  Ai finally broke away from the bean’s lips but moved on to her neck instead as her prey continued to struggle.

   “Did it bother me?” the older girl growled as she bit down on Risa’s skin.  “Of course it bothered me!  You always make me lose my composure in whatever you do!  And I hate not being in control!”  I love you so much… I can’t be myself without you, I need you…

   “No, Ai!  Please… stop…!” Risa pleaded in between moans.

   But the leader ignored her cries.  She pushed her prey’s shirt over her head and up to her elbows, which automatically sent Risa’s immobilized arms to the ceiling.  Ai kept the bean pushed up against the wall while she licked her collarbone and massaged her breasts. 

   “Ai!  Mmf!  Please… please stop!” Risa begged.  “I don’t like this!  This isn’t the Ai I know!

   But the singer completely disregarded all pleas of protest.  She let her hand slide down to Risa’s crotch and rubbed her sensitive area through her pants.  The younger girl yelped out at the contact and shut her legs together.  But Ai didn’t falter in her actions, as she unzipped Risa’s jeans and slipped her hands inside her underwear.  She felt the moist area as Risa let out another cry of shock.  It was a familiar touch, yet so foreign.  It was too rough and unfriendly… it scared her.

   “Stop, Ai… please… STOP!”

   She screamed out as she finally pulled her own arms down in front of her chest.  She pushed Ai away with all the strength she had, which wasn’t much.  But it was enough to stop the idol long enough for her to realize what she had done. 

   Trails of tears were evidently visible on the bean’s cheeks as she looked at the singer in fear.  She slid down to the floor as her legs gave out, her entire body trembling.  Ai stared down at the girl she was in love with.  She had made her cry.  She had hurt her.  All because she lost control to jealousy…

   “Please stop…” Risa sobbed.  “Please… Ai…”

   The leader’s jaws tightened from the scene in front of her.  She grabbed a fistful of her hair as her features distorted into that of misery.  Not being able to form any coherent words, she ran out of the studio while the cries of the girl she was in love with echoed in her head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh noes, Ai lost her cool...

Yeah, I dun even know where I'm going with this anymore... maybe this side of the plot wasn't such a good idea :smhid :nervous

No, no, no! It's definitely fine! I kinda like to see Ai this way, gone crazy from love and not being able to have it. She left marks, claimed what should rightfully be her's, maybe hoping Sayu will notice? Will Sayu notice? After reading this, I kinda want to see the bunny push Risa for a more physical form of 'love.'

I kinda want to see Risa broken.... Umm, does that make me a bad person?

Ai taking her anger out on......Risa????? Oh noes. The plot thickens  :twisted:
At least Risa has seen for herself that Ai is not fine. Maybe that's a good thing, just not in the ideal way to find out  :nervous
Maybe it's a good thing that Ai has finally let herself go. She made an unfortunate victim out of Risa, the one she would have wanted to hurt the least, but at the same times it shows Risa her frustration at her choice, I guess. I likey. I wouldn't want to see Ai lose it completely though.
I think I can see Ai sleeping around with various girls to show she is 'free', and Risa just looking on painfully. Sigh. I'm so cruel XD


(Is it just me, or did Ai look eerily resemble the heartbroken Reina who made victims out of unknowing girls at the beginning of this story?)

Sorry for the SUPER short chapter.... it was a lot less to write then I expected :nervous

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 86

   “Tadaima!” Eri yelled into the house as she removed her sneakers. 

   She was completely exhausted.  Her original plan had been to prevent Reina from going to a bar but instead, she ended up going with her.  However, she was able to keep an eye on the yankii so she wouldn’t drink too much since she had to drive home.  Reina had almost talked her into going to a hotel but the turtle refused.  Although she had wanted to stay with her lover, she felt like it was a time where she needed to be there for Risa, wherever she was.

   Eri listened closely, expecting an answer from her friend.  But the house was silent.  None of the lights were turned on so Eri had to run her hand along the wall to find her way to the stairs.  She almost passed right by the living room before hearing a quiet hiccup.  It sounded… like crying. 

   The brown-haired girl whipped around, dashed into the living room, and flipped the light switch on.  She spotted her friend who was curled up on the couch with her head down.  Eri’s face quickly filled with panic as Risa slowly looked up.  Her face was bright red and covered with tears; there was a small cut on her lips.

   “Oh lord…” Eri breathed.  She ran over and jumped on the sofa next to the bean.  She cupped her cheek with one hand while stroking her bottom lip with the other.

   “O-okaeri,” Risa stuttered.  “S-sorry, Kameha… I didn’t hear you come in.”

   “That’s not the problem right now!” Eri yelled.  “What happened, Risa-chan?  Why is there a cut on your lips?”

   “N-nothing…” the bean mumbled.  “I just f-fell.”

   “Oh, that’s believable,” Eri said sarcastically.  “Now tell me what really happened!”

   Risa stared at her friend, her lips trembling.  Then, she finally broke down and started to weep out loud, letting her tears fall however they may.

   “It’s… It’s Ai,” she cried.  “Ai, she… she k-kissed me… and… t-touched me…”

   “Ai did this to you?” Eri shrilled.  “How dare she!”

   “I had to push her away… I told her to stop…”

   “Not petty enough to get revenge, huh?” the turtle growled, recalling her girlfriend’s words.  “Just because Sayumi angered her, she took it out on you?”

   “No!” Risa yelled suddenly.  “It wasn’t like that!”

   “… Then what happened?” Eri asked, confused now.  “What exactly went on?”

   “She was angry,” Risa sobbed.  “But she was in pain.  She… she was hurt because Sayumi kissed me like that.  But she hurt me when she kissed me like that because I wanted to kiss her back but I couldn’t!”

   “… Risa-chan, I’m not catching on…”

   “I love her!” the bean cried out.  “I love Ai so much that it hurts not being able to be with her!  She was so rough with me but deep inside, I wanted to continue kissing her like that.  I wanted her to touch me… but it’d be selfish of me to let her since I can’t be with her anymore!”

   Eri bit down on her lips.  She then took friend into her arms and hugged her, allowing Risa to cry on her shoulder.  All the recent happenings flooded into her mind; Junjun’s pain of sacrificing her love, Ai’s pain of losing her love, Risa’s pain of guilt and misery… all because of one person.

   Eri clenched her teeth.  She had decided.  Tomorrow, she would go to the hospital before Risa wakes up.  She would talk with Sayumi and put some sense into her.  Reina had told her to keep her cool, but that was before her leader attacked her best friend.  She would not let her cousin bring anymore pain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

... And the climax is approaching...

Makes complete sense to me, even though it was a little scary, it was still Ai, the person she loves with all her heart. Any attention from the one you love, good or bad, is welcome, especially if you're apart.

Go Eri! Somehow, I think it might not help, though. Or maybe, instead, Sayu's true nature will be revealed to Risa.

Oh, I feel something ugly coming up soon  :yep: Like Sayu yelling all sorts of profanities thinking it's only her and Eri......only to reveal that Risa (and Jun?) were listening on as well. I have a feeling that something about Ai and "Ai-chan" will come up, and all the misunderstandings surround "Ai-chan" will be cleared up. Hm.

So I thought today would be another 2chapter-day but this one took SO long to write.... so yeah :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 87

   The black-haired girl sat in her bed staring out the window.  She slowly thought of the events that had happened recently.  She smiled to herself, thinking of the girl she was in love with, and the warmth of her lips.  Everything just seemed so perfect now…

   Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

   “Come in!” the patient yelled, expecting to see the face she had missed overnight.

   A light-brown haired girl walked in, smiling a little.  She was wearing a pastel pink hoodie over a white t-shirt with jeans.  There was a thick winter coat slung over her arms.  The patient’s grin faltered.

   “Oh, it’s just you, Eririn,” she pouted.

   “Hey, don’t give me any of that,” the turtle scolded.  “Especially after I took the trouble of texting my paranoid girlfriend who kept on insisting on picking me up this morning…”  Reina still wasn’t so fond of Sayumi.

   “Well, I was expecting Risa-chan to walk in so obviously, I’m disappointed,” Sayumi said, matter-of-factly. 

   “I don’t know why I always put up with that attitude of yours, Sayu…” Eri sighed, standing right by the younger girl’s bed.  “And that’s exactly why I’m here today.”

   “… It must be something important,” the bunny smiled, “considering you got to me this morning even before Junjun.”

   “Important enough to affect someone’s life,” Eri spoke seriously.  “I’ll be straightforward with you, Sayumi.  What you did in front of Ai a couple days ago was completely unnecessary.”

   “You mean the kiss?” the younger girl giggled.  “How was it unnecessary?  All I did was kiss my girlfriend.  You do it all the time, don’t you?”

   “Not in front of Reina’s ex-girlfriend!” Eri yelled.  Just the thought of doing such a thing in front of the sweet Mitsui Aika made her feel terrible inside; it would break the little girl.  “How would you feel if someone kissed your ex right in front of you?”

   “… That will never happen,” Sayumi said in a low voice, her eyes getting darker.  “Because Risa-chan will never leave me in the first place.”

   “Do you honestly think Risa is in love with you?”

   “She’s stuck in the past!” the patient yelled.  “But we’re together now.  With time, she’ll learn to love me.”

   “Open your eyes and face reality!” Eri shouted.  “Sayumi, loving someone sometimes means that you have to let them go and do what makes them happy.”

   “Only you would think that,” the bunny scoffed.  “You’ve always been so weak, Eri, with no self-resolution.”

   “It’s not just me; look around!” Eri yelled again in a more pleading tone.  “Ai let her feelings go because Risa made the choice to stay with you, out of guilt.  Junjun watches you flirt with Risa everyday but doesn’t do anything about it because she loves you!  Even I let so many things go because of you!”

   “You?”

   Eri paused.  She bit down on her bottom lip as past memories flood into her head.  She closed her eyes for a while and breathed slowly to calm herself down.

   “Ever since we were little, I gave up so many things for you,” she said shakily.  “Because you were my only cousin, and I was the older one, I had to do whatever you wanted.  I learned the meaning of the word ‘sacrifice’ when I was still just a baby because you were born after a year!  I gave up the smallest things like toys as well as the more vital things like my first love!”

   “Your first love?” Sayumi said, letting out a small laugh.

   Eri gasped, realizing what she had just said.  She had spoken too much; she had lost control over her anger and frustration towards her cousin that she uttered her deepest secret…

   But what did she care now?  So what if Sayumi knew?  Maybe it would make her see some sense in her own actions…

   “I… was in love,” Eri said slowly, holding back her tears of misery, “…with Risa.  Even though we were just kids, I truly loved her.  I wanted to be with her and be more than a friend to her.  But then I found out that you were also in love with her.  And just like I had been doing for my entire life, I gave up on Risa for you.  When you asked me to help you get together with Risa-chan, I said yes.  Do you hear me, Sayumi?  It hurt me so much but I still decided to help you!  You never knew that, did you?”

   “I knew.”

   “What?” Eri’s eyes widened in shock.  Sayumi had known?  She had known that Eri was in love with Risa when they were little?

   “Of course I knew,” the younger girl laughed scornfully.  “How could I not know?  It was so obvious from the way you always stared at Risa-chan with those sparkling eyes.”

   “… You knew…” Eri breathed, the anger slowly filling her up, “… yet you still… asked for my help?”

   “Well, you had already given up on her, right?” Sayumi said, rolling her eyes.  “You never fight for what you want.  Besides, it’s a good thing you gave up.  Or else, the same thing that happened to Ai-chan might’ve happened to you, Eririn.”

   “Ai-chan?” Eri whispered.  “How does she come into this?  What are you talking about?”

   “… Nothing,” the bunny said, faltering a little from her slip of the tongue.  “I was just referring to the way Ai-chan ended up hurting Risa-chan.”

   “No, you weren’t,” Eri growled.  “You know something that I don’t.  Tell me what you know, Sayumi!”

   “I don’t know any more than you do, Eririn,” Sayumi said, glaring at her cousin.  “Stop overreacting.”

   “You better say something right now, Sayumi,” Eri threatened.  “I am not in the best mood right now, and I’m definitely not afraid to extend your stay in this hospital.”

   “Ooh~ scary~” Sayumi giggled.  She thought for a moment, then smiled.  “Well, I guess I’ll let you in on this little secret, Eririn.  Besides, you honestly don’t have the guts to do anything to hurt me… after all, I’m your one and only cousin, right?”

   Eri didn’t say anything.  She clenched her teeth and stared furiously at her cousin; this girl, who had hurt her so deliberately… who was hurting so many other people at the moment.  And Eri had lived beneath her the whole time, attending to her every wish; it made her feel so blind and pathetic.

   Sayumi smiled at her cousin’s distorted expression.  She leaned in even closer and spoke in a low voice.

   “The one who separated Ai-chan and Risa-chan,” Sayumi said, “… was me.”

   Eri’s eyes widened again.  “… What are you talking about?  Ai-chan was mad at Risa after what she said about her parents.  Then she moved away; that’s how they got separated.  It was just Ai-chan, getting angry—”

   “You’re right, she was,” the black-haired girl interrupted, “which made everything so much easier for me.  Think about it Eririn; do you think Ai-chan who was so close to Risa-chan could stay mad at her for that long?”

   “… What the hell did you do, Sayumi?” the older girl growled.

   “It was quite simple, really,” the bunny giggled, recalling what she had done.  “All I had to do was go to Risa-chan and tell her that Ai-chan was very angry and never wanted to see her again.  I did the same to Ai-chan too.  They both believed me so easily… And when Ai-chan told me that she had to move again because of her mother’s job, and that she wanted to apologize to Risa-chan for yelling at her before she leaves, I said I would give the message to Risa-chan.  A couple days later, I told her that Risa-chan still didn’t want to see her.  That’s all.”

    Eri’s breath hitched as she slowly comprehended what Sayumi had said.  Mizuhara Ai was never mad at Risa.  She wanted to apologize while Risa wanted to do the same.  She wanted to stay friends with her, but Sayumi had stood in the way.  Her very own cousin… how could she have not known?  How could she have not known the lengths Sayumi would go to make Risa hers?  And to think that she herself had helped her all these years to get Risa…

   “No…” Eri breathed.  She slid down to the floor as her legs weakened.  “How… how could you…”

   “Unlike you, Eririn,” Sayumi said, her eyes darkening, “I fight for what I want.  I do whatever it takes to get what’s mine.”

   “You hurt both of them!” Eri screamed, finally breaking down.  “Ai-chan never got to know how sorry Risa was!  Risa-chan got into a traffic accident and even forgot Ai-chan’s face!  And you… it was you who did all that!  And… I… I helped you…”

   “You should be happy, Eririn,” Sayumi smiled.  “You’re the best case right now.  If you hadn’t given up on Risa-chan back then, I would’ve ripped you apart from her like I did with Ai-chan.”

   “… I’m ashamed to call you my family,” Eri growled, tears of anger trickling down her cheeks.

   “All’s fair in love and war,” the black-haired girl laughed.  “Anybody who gets in the way of me and Risa-chan will suffer such consequences, just like Takahashi Ai.  Although in her case, it was the second time and I had that unexpected factor of my own accident… so it was much easier.”

   “Second time?” Eri gasped.  “What… what are you talking about?”

   “It seems like Risa-chan’s not the only one who lost their memory,” Sayumi laughed.  “I’m actually surprised you haven’t noticed yet, even if she changed her family name.”

   The patient pushed the blankets down to her ankles and slowly shifted in her bed so that her legs could touch the floor, in front of Eri.  She leaned in to her cousin’s ear, who was staring at the floor, trying to figure out what she had just heard.

   “Since I already told you my secret,” Sayumi whispered, “I’ll let you in on someone else’s secret too.  Do you want to know?”

   “… It can’t be…”

   “No, it can.”  The black-haired girl smiled and spoke in a low, but clear voice.  “Takahashi Ai… is Mizuhara Ai.”

   There was a loud slam of the door hitting the wall.  Sayumi looked up, alarmed to see the person standing at the doorway.  Eri slowly turned around to see who had dropped in on the conversation, her lips still trembling.

   There was a girl with short brown hair, breathing heavily while her eyes grew wider and wider.  It was obvious she had heard the entire conversation between the two cousins.  Behind her was a tall, black-haired girl, who was staring at the floor, expressionless.

   “Risa-chan!” Sayumi gasped.  She quickly hid her shock with a smile.  “H-how long were you standing there?  You should’ve come in—”

   “Be quiet…” the bean mumbled.

   “How long were you listening, Risa-chan?” Sayumi said, still smiling but getting more nervous.  She slowly stood up on her weak legs.  “Look, I can explain—”

   “I SAID SHUT UP!” Risa screamed.  She glared right at the frightened bunny, fury blazing in her eyes.  “If you say another word… I’ll kill you.”

   Sayumi gasped as she reached her hand back to balance herself on her bed.  Eri exhaled sharply as she slowly turned her back on her friend and went back to staring at the tiled floor.  Everything was over now.  It had been her mistake in protecting someone who shouldn’t have been protected…  And now, all the arrows finally pointed to the one person Eri had sacrificed so many things for.

   “Ri-Risa-chan,” Sayumi laughed nervously.  “Y-you’re acting scary… D-don’t look at me like th-that.”

   “I’m acting scary?”  Risa shrilled.  “No, Sayumi.  In this room, there is nobody scarier than you, after what you’ve done.”

   “Risa-chan—”

   “I TRUSTED YOU!” the older girl screamed.  “But you made me lose my most treasured thing twice!  … How could you…?”

   Risa turned around and dashed out of the room.  Sayumi started to panic as she limped on her feeble legs and stumbled out the door way, before Junjun caught her.

   “Michishige-san, you can’t walk yet!”

   “No, let me go!” Sayumi screamed, breaking out of the pianist’s hold.  She stumbled down the hall way where Risa was running down.  “Risa-chan… Risa-chan, don’t go!  RISA-CHAN!”

   Despite her intense desire to follow the bean, it was an obvious fact that the patient was too weak.  She eventually fell on her knees and attempted to crawl but Junjun quickly stopped her before that by holding on to her shoulders.

   “Shige-san, please!”

   “Risa-chan… Risa-chan!”

   Someone ran towards the room from the other side of the hallway with the fast clicking of heels.  Junjun turned around and saw the younger member of High-Queen, her face alarmed.  She had had a bad feeling about her girlfriend going to the hospital today, and had come to check up on her.  She was obviously right.

   The pianist immediately read the yankii’s mind and looked once towards Sayumi’s room to answer her question.  Reina quickly ran through the doorway and found her girlfriend, kneeling by the bed while staring up at the ceiling.  She crouched beside her and shook her a little by the shoulders.

   “Eri!” Reina yelled, panicking.  “Eri, what happened?  What’s wrong?”

   “It was Sayumi…” the older girl mumbled, her tears streaming down uncontrollably.  “Everything was… Sayumi… and I…”

   She finally broke down and started to cry out.  She grabbed a fistful of her hair and shook her head while screaming as loud as she could.  Everything had been caused by Sayumi: her first love, Risa’s loss, Junjun’s sacrifice, Ai-chan’s pain… and Eri had helped her in so many ways.  She had given up so many things because of her, and what for?  She felt tricked and deceived, yet so pathetic that she never realized.

   Reina was still confused but she generally figured out what had happened.  Obviously, Sayumi had done something very wrong to make her girlfriend like this.  She quickly turned her lover around and embraced her.  She gently patted her back as she shushed her as though she was a child.  Eri put her arms around Reina’s waist and cried into her shoulders, still screaming out in frustration and resent. 

   “Michishige-san, hold yourself together!”  Junjun’s voice echoed in the hallway.  “Somebody help!  Please, she fainted!  Someone help!”

@aussie: okay, you're just scaring me... read the chapter and see why i'm freaking out over your comment :shocked XD

I guess we clicked XD
It's just the feeling I got, with Eri and Sayu (supposedly) being alone together I figured some deep dark secrets were bound to come up, and Sayu would have to make a mistake at some point. Maybe it's all those old school Korean dramas I grew up watching, where the evil b*tch spills her guilty secrets to the person she hurt the most towards the end thinking everything is over and that they are alone, only to reveal the one person she wanted to know the truth about her the least (usually the handsome male protagonist she was on the verge of marrying/seducing) was listening on in the conversation XD



   “Not in front of Reina’s ex-girlfriend!” Eri yelled.  Just the thought of doing such a thing in front of the sweet Mitsui Aika made her feel terrible inside; it would break the little girl.  “How would you feel if someone kissed your ex right in front of you?”


I'm guessing that was meant to say, Risa  :nervous

That was one intense and crucial chapter. Finally Sayu's cover is blown. Risa learnt the truth the hardest and yet the best way. She heard everything for herself, and also got to see Sayu's true self. When Sayu tried running after Risa with her "weak legs" I kind of felt sorry for her, that she didn't know how to really love and treasure the one she loved most, and she was desperately trying to cling on to Risa.
I was starting to wonder about the bit in Eri's character introduction that she gave up her first love for her spoilt cousin, and bam! :lol:
She sure moved on quickly, or it wasn't one of those intense feelings of love (which is all good since Reina is there for her :P)


So, Risa has run out of the hospital. Will I be scaring you again if I was to say she's probably running to see Ai and surprise her by calling "Ai-chan"?  :D

Sayu knew Eri loved Risa and still tried to be with Risa and mislead both Aichan AND Risa still knowing Risa loved Aichan so much and years later USED the one person who was in love with her to get with Risa, making Ai and Risa have a heartbreaking breakup and caused Ai to lose her cool only to end up hurting Risa.....again.... :gyaaah:  :on cloudeye:

I feel like I'm reading a Kdrama with all the drama going on. Love this chapter :thumbsup

Looks like the cat bunny outta the bag this time :P I'm not sure if this will make Sayu give up on Risa or turn more aggresive in her pursuit. Or will she just give up on herself? :huhuh Time to step up to the plate, Jun! ;)

Poor Eri. It must have hurt real bad to find out that she was unknowingly an accomplice to Sayu's evil plan. The guilt must have been too much for her. Well, Reina is here to take the pain away. Speaking of which, we are lacking some TanaKame loving lol XD

So Risa is running towards her Ai or Aichan? Time for some kiss and make up out :lol:

I... wanted a catfight! :lol: Is it too late to request a random anvil dropping from the sky to crush the bitchy bunny? She was even more cold hearted than I thought she was, I mean, is it even possible for someone like that to love?

But everything came together beautifully. Karma was had and truths were learned, even though poor Eri had to suffer. Poor kid was just being a good cousin. Now I want to see the next chapter, maybe Risa's thoughts? Or maybe she just finds Ai and jumps her bones... :drool:

Bloody Hell  :shocked :panic: :bleed eyes: I go away for a few days and your fic goes mega emo!!!

Sayu is just pure evil, I am glad that Gaki overheard what she did to Ai and Gaki both in the past and now, I hope she and Ai can sortout their differences

Poor Eri, I can't beleive that she blames herself for any of the evil things that sayu has done, Eri seems to have been used as much as Jun by Sayu, at least Eri has Reina b y her side!

I wonder how Jun will react to knowing the whole truth about Sayu's backstory, will she still stay with Sayu or will she leave her, if she leaves and Sayu ends up all alone perhaps she will see how much Jun means to her??? Or maybe Jun should meet LinLin or Aika perhaps?

I wonder how Ai will take the fact that Gaki knowa about thier past now?

@kawaii beam: LOL i've gotten Ai, Ai-chan, and Ai-chii but I've never gotten Aiai...  XD :heart:

@aussie: no, it's reina!  cuz Sayumi kissed Risa in front of Risa's ex-girlfriend, so in Eri's perspective, she's thinking of kissing Reina in front of Reina's ex-girlfriend, who would be Aika :D

@Swtme03: LOL you're so right with the last comment :rofl:

@fallenxangel: yeah, Gaki is pissed :D

@Ada: LOL um, no killing going on here... :nervous

@kurosawa87: yup, that was it :P

@badsaints: lol is taht good thing, that it sounds like a kdrama? XD

@Haruka: yeah, Sayu's pretty insane... :(

@rndmnwierd: well, an anvil won't drop, but something else might  :D

@oddball: you always come back and find something new, don't you? XD


Wow, so I got a lot of feedback for the last chapter...  :twothumbs
as well as i should've, since it was the climax XD

So here's the new chapter! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 88

   The day was still bright but everything seemed so dark.  She was definitely looking down but she couldn’t see her own legs.  There was only the blur of the sidewalk as she ran down the streets.  She still heard the echoes of her name being called by the girl she trusted… the girl she had sacrificed her love for.  That hateful girl… that resentful girl…

   Breathing heavily, Risa finally came to a stop in the middle of the sidewalk.  She leaned on a near by tree and slid down into a crouch, trying to catch her breath.  People walked by and stared, but they didn’t stop.  It was a Friday morning; they all had more important things to do than to pay attention to a girl who happened to almost collapse in the middle of the street.  Risa buried her head in her arms.  She needed to think for a while. Everything she had heard back in the hospital was still processing in her mind. 

   First of all, Eri had loved her.  Her best friend, that spacey turtle had loved her when they were little.  But how many years ago was that?  Ten years more or less… so should Risa even worry about that?  Eri obviously didn’t see her in that way anymore; she had Reina for that.  But the fact that Risa never realized the feelings her best friend held for her… Did that make her insensitive?

   Second of all, Sayumi had lied to her this entire time.  She was the one that made her and Ai-chan grow further and further apart through misunderstandings… until it was too late to clear it up.  More than the fact that she and Ai-chan didn’t get to make up, the fact that she had trusted Sayumi all these years hurt more.  They were such close friends, so the truth hurt that much more, now that all was revealed.  At the moment, Risa couldn’t forgive her.  Sayumi had done wrong to so many people, including her own cousin… She could never fully repent for that.  But if Risa doesn’t forgive her, what will Eri do?  Although she was a victim as well, Eri still treasured Sayumi so much.  How was she feeling right now?

   Third of all, Mizuhara Ai was Takahashi Ai.  The Ai that she was in love with was the Ai-chan that she had shared a single dream with.  The Ai-chan that she couldn’t remember was in front of her the whole time…

   So with all these questions circulating in her mind, what was the next step?  Should she go back to Eri?  But then she would have to face Sayumi again, and she didn’t want to see her face for a long time. 

   No, there was only one thing she could do now; only one thing she wanted to do.  She had to confirm it for herself.  She had to make sure that every bit of information she just heard was true.  She needed to see her right now.

   Risa jumped up and took out her cell phone from her pocket.  She pressed and held on to the number two for speed dial.  The tone only rang once before the answering machine took over.  Risa snapped her phone shut in frustration and threw it down on the ground.  The battery cover came off.  She then gasped, realizing what she had done, and quickly picked up and assembled her phone again.  She would need it later on in life.

   Risa started to run down the street again, not being able to stand still anymore.  She didn’t know where she was going until her legs automatically took her to the home of the person she wanted to see.  She clicked the elevator button and started to pace.  After a couple seconds, her impatience took over again as she started to jump up the stairs.  She finally got to the right room and banged on the door, only to receive silence in response.

   Risa cursed under her breath as she quickly ran down the stairs again.  She stopped when she got outside.  She rubbed her temples with both hands as she tried to concentrate.  Where could that person be right now?  What was her daily schedule…?

   It was 10 o’clock in the morning; of course, she would be at the DFA!  Risa started to run down the streets again, trying to avoid bumping into people as much as possible.  The DFA was a little far from where she was, but she didn’t care.  She didn’t even have enough patience to stop and catch a cab.

   After about a good 15 minutes, Risa finally flew up the stairs of the Talent Agency.  She banged on the front counter, shocking the lady wearing the DFA uniform. 

   “Ah… um… may I help you?” the lady asked nervously.  She backed away a little unconsciously, which was understandable; Risa didn’t look too sane at the moment.  Her hair was all ruffled while her cheeks were bright red from all the running.  She was a sweating a little, even though it was December.

   “Takahashi Ai!” Risa blurted out.  “Where is she?  Where is she right now?”

   “I… um… am not allowed to reveal such information,” the lady stuttered.  “Excuse me, who are you?”

   “I’m Niigaki Risa!” the bean yelled out impatiently.  “I’m her song writer!”

   “Oh, I know you, Niigaki-san!” the lady said brightly, clapping her hands together.  “Your songs are very nice!”

   “Yes, thank you, thank you.  Now,” Risa mumbled, “where is Takahashi Ai?”

   “She should be in her dance lesson with Yoshiko-sensei,” the lady informed politely.  “That’s the fifth floor.”

   “Thank you!”

   Risa quickly ran across the lobby and punched the elevator button.  Again, she couldn’t bare standing still so she just decided to take the stairs again.  Her legs were starting to cramp but she didn’t care; there were more important things at hand.  When she reached the fifth floor, the bean ran into a skinny lady with long hair.

   “Yoshiko-sensei!” Risa screamed, her voice coming out a lot louder than she expected.

   “Good morning to you too, Niigaki-san!” the dance trainer yelled.  “Now why are we screaming?”

   “Shouldn’t… shouldn’t you be with… Takahashi Ai right now?” Risa huffed.

   “Oh, we ended a little early because Reina didn’t show up,” Yoshiko-sensei grumbled.  “She should be in vocal training now with Sky-sensei… I think that’s the 14th floor…?”

   “Thank you…” Risa groaned. 

   She whipped around started to climb the stairs again.  It was nine stories more, but she still didn’t have any desire to take the elevator.

   Finally, she reached the correct floor and ran down the hallway.  She found the vocal training room and burst in, only to find a man sitting by the piano.

   “Sky-sensei, where’s Takahashi Ai?” Risa asked, starting to get annoyed.

   “Good morning to you too, Niigaki-san,” Sky greeted, raising an eyebrow at the bean’s peculiar behavior.

   “Yes, Good morning,” Risa mumbled.  “Where’s Takahashi Ai?  I thought she had vocal training with you right now?”

   “Well, Tanaka didn’t show up so I let her go early,” he grumbled in the same tone as Yoshiko-sensei.  “It’s like having only half a group… Tsunku-san told me that our yankii girl changed a little but I don’t see a difference—”

   “So do you know where Takahashi Ai is right now?” Risa asked, interrupting the vocal trainer.

   “I think she mentioned something about going back to the dance studio to practice,” Sky-sensei said.  “That’s the—”

   “Fifth floor, I know,” Risa interrupted again, running out the door.  “Thank you!”

   The bean skittered down the stairwells again.  It was definitely easier than climbing up the stairs, but it was still tiring.  She couldn’t find the oxygen to breathe in anymore as her stomach started to knot up because of the cramps.  But she continued to run.  She couldn’t wait… she needed to see her now!

   As she reached the 5th floor again, Risa hopped on one foot for a while as she punched her other knee a couple times to loosen up the muscle.  Then, she continued on to dash down the hallway, searching desperately for the dance studio.  She finally found the right room and pushed open the double doors with as much force as possible.

   The doors slammed open against the wall to reveal the back of a brown-haired girl.  The reflection of her face in the mirror showed surprise as she slowly turned around.  She was dressed in a t-shirt and sweatpants with her hair in a ponytail.  From the way she was perspiring, it was obvious that she had been practicing for some time. 

   “Risa…?” she breathed.

   “Takahashi Ai…” Risa said, breathing heavily.  “Listen carefully to what I’m about to ask you.  I want you to answer me honestly; the whole truth and nothing but the truth!  Can you promise me that?”

   “… I’m not catching on, what is this about—”

   “Can you promise me that?” Risa repeated, a little louder this time.

   The singer’s eyes widened as she stared at the girl who had just intruded on her dance practice.  Risa could clearly see the confusion in the leader’s face, even though they were a good ten feet away.  She could even see her own face through the mirror behind Ai; her face was flushed red as her hair was messed up from the running.  Her eyes showed desperation.

   “… Okay,” Ai answered quietly.  “I promise.”

   This was it.  Risa could start to unravel the truth now.  In what way could she confirm what she had heard in the hospital…?

   “Have you ever lived in the Yamaguchi prefecture?” she asked.

   “… For a very brief time,” Ai answered, her face betraying no emotions.  Risa sighed as she took a step towards the idol.

   “Is ‘Takahashi Ai’ your real name?” she asked, deciding to go straight to business.

   “Yes,” the leader answered without hesitation.  “It’s my full name.”

   What?  So her real family name was Takahashi?  How could that be?  If she’s not a Mizuhara, then was Ai not the one she had been looking for?  Risa started to rub her temples again.  No, there was something she was missing; she had to think.  Ai-chan had moved to her neighborhood with only her mother… Her parents had been divorced for some years, and she had never really known her father…  Risa gasped.

   “Is… Is Mizuhara… you’re mother’s maiden name?”

   “… Yes.”  Risa took another slow step towards the singer.

   “And Takahashi is… your father’s name…?”

   “Yes.”  The two girls got another step closer to each other.  Risa’s entire body was trembling now; could this girl really be…?

   “Does… Does the song ‘Furusato’… mean anything to you?”

   “… I sang it a long time ago with a certain girl who I treasured very much,” Ai answered, smiling a little at the memory. 

   Risa exhaled sharply as she took another step towards the idol.  They were about four feet apart now.  Ai stared straight into the bean’s eyes, unwavering.  Risa breathed slowly to calm herself down before asking the final question; a call and response.

   “… Ai…”

   “Yes?”

   “… Ai-chan…?”

   “… Yes?”

   The singer smiled a little as Risa gasped out loud.  She slowly staggered forward, her shaking hands extended.  She cupped the older girl’s face gently as small drops of tears started to form at the corner of her eyes.

   “Ai-chan…?”

   “Didn’t I already answer that question?” the idol laughed softly.

   That did it.  Risa jumped into the older girl’s arms and started to repeat her name over and over again: the name she had wanted to say for so long, the name of the person she had missed, all those years. 

   “As much as I love hugging you like this,” Ai chuckled, “I’m a little confused.  Aren’t you supposed to be mad at me?”

   “How could I ever be mad at you?” Risa whispered, pulling back a little to see the singer’s face.  “I was never mad at you…”

   Then, the bean explained everything that had happened at the hospital; about Sayumi lies and her confession, about how everything was over now.

   “… So that’s what happened,” Ai said quietly.  “Well, that was quite unexpected.”

   “You don’t seem very surprised,” Risa mumbled.  “Nor do you seem angry.”

   “Oh, I’m shocked alright,” Ai smiled sweetly.  “And I’m incredibly angry.  If I told you what I want to do to that girl right now, I think you might be terrified of me all over again.”

   “Terrified of you?”

   “… I don’t blame you if you want to stay away from me for a while… after what happened yesterday…”

   Ai’s arms around the bean’s waist started to slip away a little.  Risa quickly pressed herself against the older girl, determined not to let go.  Their foreheads met as the younger girl cupped the singer’s face again.

   “How could I ever be scared of you?” she whispered.  “I love you so much…”

   “… Does this mean we’re back together?” Ai grinned.

   “If you wish,” Risa laughed.

   Ai leaned forward a little more to meet the younger girl’s soft lips.  They kissed gently yet passionately, with enough emotion to show how much they missed each other.  The older girl’s hold around Risa’s waist tightened as she pulled her even closer to herself.  The bean’s grip around Ai’s neck wasn’t weak either.  They kissed each other over and over again, moaning softly into each other’s mouths.

   When they broke their lip-lock, Ai smiled and pulled the younger girl into a tight embrace.

   “Okaeri,” she whispered in her ears.  “Welcome back, sweetheart.”

   “Tadaima,” Risa chuckled softly in response. 

   Yes, she was finally in the right place now.  She was at home, with her true love, where she belonged.

So this next chapter is the next chapter... and the chapter after that is the chapter after that... get my drift? :D
^ that could mean a lot of things :twisted:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 89

   “Here,” Reina said, holding out a mug of hot cocoa to her girlfriend.  “It’s still hot, so be careful.”

   “Thanks,” Eri sighed, taking the warm cup into her hands.

   The yankii sat down next to the older girl on the couch.  The turtle was balled up and wrapped in a pink blanket.  The two girls were in High-Queen’s apartment; Reina had taken liberty in bringing her distraught lover to her place, after they made sure Sayumi was treated and sent to a different room.  Junjun had still insisted on staying with the unconscious bunny, even after she had learned the truth.  How could she be so brave like that…

   “Are you feeling a little better now?” Reina asked, combing her fingers through Eri’s hair.

   “Yeah, I’m okay now,” Eri whispered hoarsely.  She sipped a little bit of the hot cocoa.  She had definitely screamed too much back in the hospital to lose her voice like this.  “I’m kind of worried about Risa-chan though…”

   “Will you worry about yourself for once?” Reina sighed, tipping down Eri’s chin a little.  “Your eyes are still a little red… Do you have any idea how much you scared me when you started to scream like that?”

   “I’m sorry…”

   “And don’t worry about Risa; if what you told me about Sayumi is true, then I’m assuming she’s with Ai right now.”

   “I guess you’re right…” Eri nodded.  Suddenly, she perked up and raised an eyebrow.  “Wait, shouldn’t you be with Ai right now?  Today’s Friday; you still have to go to vocal lessons and stuff.”

   “I… uh…” the yankii hesitated, “I wanted to stay with you?”

   “You ditched again, didn’t you?” Eri growled, putting her mug down on the coffee table.  “Will you stop doing that?  You have to go whenever your work requires you, Reina-chan!”

   “Hey, aren’t you glad I was there at the hospital?” Reina asked.  She leaned in closer to her girlfriend until their noses almost touched.  “Aren’t you glad I’m here with you now?”

   “I… I guess…” Eri mumbled, her cheeks blushing a soft pink.  “Thanks, Reina-chan.”

   “I prefer to receive a different form of gratitude than just words,” the yankii grinned.  She leaned in closer until their lips touched.  Her tongue easily entered the older girl’s mouth; she could still taste the faint sweetness of the hot chocolate.  She started to move her lips a little faster, eager for more.

   “Did we come at a bad time?”

   “GAH!”

   “Ouch!”

   Reina fell backwards on the couch as Eri pushed her away because of the familiar voice.  The yankii could see her leader and the bean upside-down.

   “Yeah, you did come at a bad time,” she muttered.

   “Hey, this is my home too,” Ai laughed.  “No one forced you guys to make out on the couch.”

   “We weren’t making out!” Eri yelled, turning bright red.

   “But we were about to,” Reina grumbled.

   “No, we weren’t!”

   “Okay, calm down,” Ai said, grinning.  “If you guys ever do the same thing to me and Risa, we’ll excuse you then, okay?  So give us a break now.”

   “So… you and Risa…”

   “We’re good,” the bean answered, putting an arm around the older girl’s waist.  “Ai-chan and I are together again.”

   “Ai-chan?” Eri questioned.  A big smile stretched out on her lips.  “So you lied to me, Ai!”

   “About what?”

   “When I asked you if you’ve lived in the Yamaguchi prefecture, you said no!”

   “Oh, that,” Ai said, scratching her head.  “Sorry.”

   “And what about your name?”

   “Oh, I didn’t lie to you about that,” Ai explained.  “Mizuhara is my mother’s maiden name.  When we left Yamaguchi, my mom found a man and got remarried.  We moved up to Tokyo, and I found my father.  I talked with him, and we connected with each other a lot.  So I decided to take on my father’s name.  I’m legally Takahashi Ai now.”

   “I see…” Eri breathed, nodding her head.  She smiled and spoke in a joking manner.  “Well, it’s good to see you again, Ai-chan.  You look well.”

   “You too, Eri-chan,” the leader grinned.

   “So I’m the only one who didn’t know anybody in the past,” Reina grumbled, sitting up on the couch again. 

   “Don’t be such a baby, Reina-chan,” Eri teased, snuggling closer to her girlfriend.

   “Eri…” Risa started, a little more seriously.  “You’re… um… you’re okay, right?”

   “I’m fine, Risa-chan,” the turtle answered, cocking her head to the side in confusion. 

   “No, I mean… we’re okay… right?”

   “Oh…” Eri breathed, catching on.  She smiled.  “I… I used to feel that way about you when we were kids, and it was a strong feeling.  But now, you’re my best friend.  And I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

   “Thanks, Kameha,” Risa sighed.  She walked over and gave her life-long friend a big hug. 

   “Not that I’m not digging the sweet moment,” Ai said slowly, “but we still have some serious matter to settle.”

   “What’s that?” Risa asked, straightening her back again.

   “… You have to talk to Sayumin, Risa,” the leader said firmly.

   “No,” Risa answered right away, the anger returning to her. 

   “It’s not just you; I think you have to talk to her again as well, Eri.”

   “She doesn’t need to do anything she doesn’t want to,” Reina growled.

   “You’re going to have Sayumi on your tail forever if you don’t set things straight, Risa,” Ai insisted.  “She separated us when we were little, and she did it again now.  That means she can do it anytime she wants.”

   “She’ll never do such a thing again,” Risa growled, “because I’m never going to see her.”

   “Now you’re running away from the problem,” Ai said in a stern voice.  “Even though she did all those horrible things, she did it because she loves you.  That’s one thing I can identify with her.  But our difference is that Sayumin just didn’t express her feelings in the right way.”  She then turned to face Eri.  “And it’s more vital that you talk to her because you’re her cousin.  It may not sound pretty but it’s a fact that you two are family.  You can’t avoid her forever.”

   Risa sighed, frustrated.  “Ai-chan, I really don’t want to—”

   “I understand.”

   Everybody turned to look at the turtle who had just spoken.  She had a determined look in her eyes as straightened her back.

   “Baby, you don’t have to—”

   “No, Ai-chan is right,” Eri interrupted her girlfriend.  “Even though I hate all the things Sayu did, I don’t hate Sayu herself.  I can’t hate her; she’s family.  And as her family, I want to put her on the right path.”

   “Thank you, Eri,” the leader sighed. 

   “Well, I’m still not talking to her,” Risa muttered.

   “You’re going to make Eri do this alone?” Ai said.

   “Don’t use that against me!”

   “Sweetheart, you can’t leave it like this,” Ai explained.  “Everything’s not over yet.  Don’t leave your friend like this… and I’m not talking about Eri.”

   “… Fine,” Risa grumbled.  “I’ll go talk to her but only to make sure she watches her mouth in front of Eri.”

   “And I’m worried about Junjun too,” the turtle said quietly.  “So I want to talk to her as well.”

   “Good, it’s settled then,” Ai decided.  “You two will go see Sayumi tomorrow.”

   “Are you sure you’re okay with this, baby?” Reina asked her girlfriend with a worried expression.

   “I’ll be fine, don’t worry,” Eri laughed.

   “You’re not going to ask me if I’m okay with this,” Risa muttered at her girlfriend.

   “But I already know you’ll be fine,” Ai grinned, teasing the bean.

   “I’m not that strong,” Risa mumbled.  She wrapped her arm around the singer’s waist and buried her face in her shoulders.

   “I’ll be with you whenever you need me,” Ai whispered, hugging the younger girl back.  “I promise.”

Let me just say that Kokoro no Uta is one of the best stories I read so far!   :farofflook: :luvluv1:  :on lol:
Great climax on the story, now it's going to be smooth sailing(or is it?) Gaki-san, Eri and Ai-chan needs to make amends with Shige-san and Shige-san needs to see that JunJun is right for her. How will you do it?!
But with TakaGaki back together (Like it should be  :yep:) and ReiEri by their side, I'm satisfied. :lol:
 I'm sure like others, if you can please write up the Make-up sex of TakaGaki :nervous


This story is freaking awesome I have to say.  :thumbsup You delievered some great stuff in here.
High-Queen, the amusement park, Halloween party, DFA, Hawaii, Gaki-san cutting her hair, and of course the perv scenes  :grin:.
I'm going to for sure to read this from the beginning to end again. And having the daily chapters posted up was the best too, thank you!
Keep up the great writing (perferably TakaGaki of course  :lol:)

Sorry about the late comment. I've been following this story since the beginning but never got around to give a reply. :mon sweat:
I was going to start at first but then Chap. 25 was posted up already...then 50 :sweat: ...then 70  :stoned:  and here we are! Almost at the end!  :depressed:

TakaGaki all the way! :mon inluv:


I just wanted to point out that in Chapter 86 and 88 you were using the wrong saying.
*Translation Note*
(Going somehwere like school/work/etc.)
Ittekimasu: I'm leaving.  :cool1:
Itterasshai: Have a safe trip.  :byebye:


(Coming back from somewhere)
Tadaima: I'm home.  :mon lurk:

I'm glad that both girls are okay, but I don't think it's going to be an easy conversation with Sayu. Or even with Jun Jun, but I look forward to whatever's in store.

Yay TakaGaki are safe!!! :twothumbs as are TanaKame :D

I wonder how the talk with Sayu and Jun will end up? I feel as though Jun will be sorry for the mistakes she has made and will aplogize to everyone, Sayu I'm not so sure about, I hope Jun gets a happy ending in the story, if not happy then atleast decent, I wonder if it will be with Sayumi though?

Ai is really the mature and level-headed one, isn't she? Despite everything that has happened, she still wants Risa & Eri to talk to Sayu :)

So it will be smooth sailing in the land of Takagaki from now on?

wow, i got a lot less comments than I expected... maybe it was the timing of my post? :nervous

oh well, still moving on to the second chapter of the day~ :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 91

   “I really don’t want to do this,” Risa groaned.  “I seriously don’t want to do this.”

   “But you promised!” Eri whined.  “You can’t send me in there alone!”

   “Reina and I’ll be right outside,” Ai comforted.  “We’ll wait for you.”

   “Stop being an idiot and just go in,” Reina grumbled.

   The four girls were standing outside of room 305, otherwise known as the room of a certain bunny none of them had the desire to face.  After they all had lunch together, the yankii had driven them to the hospital so that Risa and Eri could settle the final matter with their long-time friend.  The turtle was feeling a bit more mature and calmer about the situation, while the bean was still stubborn.

   “Remember, I’m right outside,” Ai whispered, kissing her girlfriend’s head.

   “Okay,” Risa sighed.  She straightened her back and clenched her teeth.  “Let’s go, Kameha.”

   Eri nodded as she knocked on the door.  There was no answer for a moment.  Eri tried knocking again and this time, there was an answer to come in.  Taking a deep breath, the two friends walked into the room and closed the door behind them.

   A black-haired girl was standing by the foot of the bed, leaning on the wall; it was she who had answered the door.  The patient was balled up on the bed with her head down, jet black hair trickling down her back.  She was wearing pastel pink pajamas with no particular pattern.  The atmosphere in the room was heavy with silence.  Eri took a couple steps closer to the bed, followed by the bean.

   “Sayumi.” 

   The patient didn’t look up.  It seemed as though she was frozen in time.  Eri looked at the pianist, who shook her head slowly with a sad expression.  She nodded at the bean, encouraging her to give it a try.  Risa bit down on her lips, not wanting to be too social.  Eri nudged her side and glared at her, which made the bean take a small step forward.

   “Sayumi.”

   This time, the patient’s head flew up as she whipped around to see her visitors.  Her eyes were big and wide, but bloodshot from lack of sleep and too much crying.  Her lips were dry and chapped with creases; her white skin seemed even paler than usual. 

   “Risa-chan…” she breathed.  She uncurled her body and stood up on her knees, pushing the bed sheets away from herself.  She smiled shakily as her words came out in sharp puffs of air.  “You… you came… back…”

   “I didn’t come back to stay,” Risa said in a low voice.  “I came back to—”

   “Reconcile,” Eri interrupted, afraid her friend may say something too harsh.  “We came back so that we can stay on good terms in the future.”

   “… So you didn’t come back… to me…”

   “Sayumi,” Risa started, putting some more determination in her voice, “I came back to tell you that what you did was wrong.  It was wrong of you to use Eri to your advantage.  It was wrong of you to lie to me and Ai-chan.  It was wrong of you to hold me back and imprison me while you kept your offense a secret.  Do you understand me?”

   “Yes, I understand,” Sayumi said desperately.  “Please, Risa-chan, please…”

   “I wanted to look for Ai-chan for so long and you knew it,” the older girl continued.  “Too bad I couldn’t do that because I forgot what she looked like, huh?”

   “Risa,” Eri whispered, not satisfied with the scornful tone her friend was using. 

   “I don’t think I can ever forgive you, Sayumi,” Risa said quietly, calming down.  “But I’m going to make the effort.  Because you’ve been my friend for a very long time, so I hope the times we’ve spent together will make up for everything that’s happened.  It’s vain hope, but that’s your last chance.”

   “No, Risa-chan, please,” Sayumi begged, her features distorting in desperation, “come back to me.  I can’t live without you, and I need you!  Please…” 

   “No, not after what you’ve done,” Risa answered firmly.  “I decided that from now on, I’m going to be true to my feelings no matter what the case is.  I learned that from you.”

   “Risa-chan, I can’t live a life without you!” Sayumi pleaded, balling her fists around her bed sheets.  “Please… please…”

   Eri bit down on her lips as she watched her cousin slowly break down, starting from her heart.  She had never seen her so desperate before; it was the lowest and the most pitiful form of her cousin possible.  Junjun clenched her teeth as she watched the girl she was in love with beg a different person to stay.  But she didn’t make the discomfort show up too obviously on her face anymore; after all, the pain was usually there 24/7 now, so she was used to it.  Especially after she learned the true nature of the bunny… But for some reason, she still couldn’t stay away from her.  She still felt as though she needed to see her and protect her.  Junjun had mixed feelings about this part of herself; on one hand, she thought she shouldn’t love someone so cruel like this.  But on the other, she knew she wouldn’t be able to give up on Sayumi, even if she tried.

   “This conversation is over,” Risa whispered quietly.  “I’ve forgiven you so I want you to think about what you’ve done and repent.”

   With that, the bean turned around and started to walk towards the exit.  Eri shot a concerned gaze at her cousin for a brief moment before turning around as well.  Sayumi started to scream out even louder, begging Risa not to go.  The older girl shut her eyes tightly as she continued in her steps.  However, the voice of the person who had stayed silent the whole time made her stop in her tracks and turn around.

   “Michishige-san!”

   Eri let out a loud gasp while Risa stayed frozen in her current position.  Sayumi was sitting on the open windowsill with her back to the outside world.  She was holding on to the side ledges so that she wouldn’t fall… yet.

   “Oh lord…” Eri breathed, putting her hand over her right chest as she became paralyzed.

   “Sayumi!” Risa shouted.

   “If I can’t have you, then I’d rather die!” the black-haired girl screamed back.  “Risa-chan… please, stay with me…”

   “Sayumi, step away from the window right now!” Risa ordered.  Although they were only on the third floor, falling backwards could give long-term injuries… as well as be fatal.

   “Say that you’ll be with me!” Sayumi screamed, tuning out every other voice besides Risa’s.  “Say it!”

   “Michishige-san, please—”

   “Sayumi, just—”

   “Risa-chan, SAY IT!”

   Suddenly, a loud bang of the door hitting the wall resonated in the room.  Everyone turned to look at the perpetrator in shock, even Sayumi.  The High-Queen leader was shooting an apologetic look to her girlfriend; she had her arms tightly around her partner’s waist.  The yankii was struggling to break free, rage burning in her eyes. 

   “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?” Reina shouted furiously, punching the wall with her fist.

   “Hold your tongue, Reina!” Ai growled, trying to heave the yankii out without much success.

   “Let me go, damn it!” the younger idol roared, breaking herself free from the leader’s hold. 

   “Reina-chan!” Eri yelled, worried about how her girlfriend’s action would affect Sayumi.

   “You!”  The yankii ignored her lover’s call and pointed at the shocked girl sitting on the windowsill.  “You know why I hate you so much?  Because you don’t seem to get how reality works!  You’re stuck in your own little world, and expect everything to go your way!”

   Ai cursed under her breath as Junjun stared at the younger idol.  Eri gulped as she glanced nervously back and forth from her cousin to her girlfriend.  Risa fixed her gaze on the angry yankii as Sayumi glared furiously at the intruder.

   “If you love her,” Reina continued, jabbing a finger at the bean, “then it’s okay telling her!  You can confess and you can try to convince.  You can even beg like you’ve been doing just a couple minutes ago!  But now, you’re not doing any of that.  You’re threatening this girl to make an impossible choice!”

   “Threatening her?” Sayumi questioned, laughing scornfully.  “How so?  It’s my life!”

   “Yes, it’s your life that has left traces in other people’s lives!” Reina shouted. 

   Sayumi’s eyes widened as she tried to comprehend what she had just heard.  Ai completely relaxed behind the yankii, having no more desire to pull her out of the room.  Determinedly, Reina took a step forward. 

   “You’ve been a part of everybody’s lives in this room.  If you die right now, you’re leaving a hole in all of our timelines.  Here’s a fact: I personally don’t care if you commit suicide right now at this moment.”  Eri breath hitched at this.  Reina pointed to her and continued speaking.  “But she’s the reason I should care.  Because you dying will affect your cousin and that will affect me.  You would be killing a part of everybody’s lives in this room.  That’s how you’re threatening those two girls right now, who you claim to be the two most important people in your life.”

   Sayumi pursed her lips as she looked down at the floor.  Were Reina’s words really true?  Was she threatening her beloved Risa right now?  Would she be killing a part of the bean by killing herself? 

   “Sayumi,” Eri said quietly, taking a small step forward, “please don’t do this to me.  I’ve known you my entire life; don’t leave me like this.  Sometimes, you don’t always get what you want in this world; I learned that the hard way.  But then again, there are sometimes better things in store for you in the future.”  The turtle shot a friendly look at the bean next to her, and then a loving one to her girlfriend. 

   “Better things in the future…” Sayumi echoed in a whisper.

   “I may hate the things you’ve done,” Eri continued, “but I don’t hate you, Sayumi.  So I decided to leave the past behind and continue loving you.  I want to continue being your friend.” 

   The turtle smiled at her cousin, who was staring at her with wide eyes.  Sayumi looked around the room to observe every person’s face.  Ai’s features were smooth and expressionless, but showed no sign of hatred.  Reina, who was so angry before, was now looking at her expectantly.  Junjun was gazing at her pleadingly, but also caringly.  And Risa was… smiling.  She was smiling gently at the bunny, encouraging her to accept and move on.

   “I… I…”  Sayumi couldn’t say anything.  What did she want to say?  What was this feeling inside of her?  Was it guilt or was it frustration?  Did she still want to fight for what she wanted?  Or did she want to repent?   

   The black-haired girl opened her mouth more but no words came out.  She wrinkled her eyebrows in deep thinking as she tried to tune out everything except her own thoughts.  Unconsciously, she forgot her surroundings and where she was exactly, until she felt the cold metal of the window ledge slipping out of her fingers.

   She felt herself tipping backwards as she gasped in shock, unable to move.  She could hear her cousin screaming her name as well as someone else.  Risa?  No… it wasn’t… this voice was calling her family name…

   She felt something pull her arm up as she bent forward.  In a split second, she met Junjun’s desperate eyes, determined in saving her.  But the bunny’s weight was already over the window; the older girl could see that she didn’t have a chance of pulling Sayumi back into the room.  So instead, she rolled her own body against the windowsill and hugged the patient tightly to her chest, as she felt a falling sensation.  Sayumi could hear her and the panda’s name being cried out from the room.  She shut her eyes tightly, thinking that she was going to die.

   There was a loud thump as a series of shock ran through Sayumi’s body.  After a couple seconds, she slowly lifted herself off the ground to see her savior underneath her.  Her eyes were half closed and her breathing was slow; a thick red liquid was visibly seeping out her head.

   “Junjun!” Sayumi shrilled in panic.  She touched the side of the pianist’s head and felt the blood.  “You’re bleeding!”

   “Shige-san…” the older girl whispered weakly.  “Are you… okay…?”

   “That’s something I should be asking you, isn’t it?” Sayumi yelled.  She still felt a little dizzy but at the moment, she needed to do something for Junjun.  This girl who was always watching over her… she couldn’t just leave her to…

   Sayumi felt a sudden warmth on her face as the older girl reached up and stroked her cheek.

   “You’re safe…” she whispered, smiling.  “Yokatta… yokatta…”

   Her hands suddenly dropped to the ground as her eyes closed.  Sayumi watched the girl who had just saved her with shocked eyes.  She got off of her and sat down next to her, staring at her own bloody hands.  Her eyes flickered back to the face of the girl who had loved her this entire time, despite the pain and the misery.  She heard screams of her name from above but she didn’t look up.  All Sayumi wanted to do was desperately scream out the name of the girl who had just saved her life… but her throat was knotted.  But in her head, there was only one thing she could think of.

   “JUNJUN!

^If she gets a metal plate in her head, then she really will be made of steel! :lol: :lol:


But OMG I can't believe that you just! And Sayu just! And JUN JUST!!!  :bleed eyes: :banghead: I want the next chapter! I wanna know if Jun lives or dies!!!

But on another note, I'm glad everyone got their little speeches out before the whole falling out the window thing. Whew! Clear conscience!

Quote
Suddenly, a loud bang of the door hitting the wall resonated in the room.  Everyone turned to look at the perpetrator in shock, even Sayumi.  The High-Queen leader was shooting an apologetic look to her girlfriend; she had her arms tightly around her partner’s waist.  The yankii was struggling to break free, rage burning in her eyes.

   “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?” Reina shouted furiously, punching the wall with her fist.

   “Hold your tongue, Reina!” Ai growled, trying to heave the yankii out without much success.

Fav part! I could so imagine the little yankii practically dragging Ai into the room, like a bull. :lol: :lol:

ahh Poor Jun  :cry: Not sure if she is dead yet, I assume the next chapters will make Jun's fate officail but I suppose in a way it's nice to see that perhaps finally Sayu may just realize what she had done to Eri, Gaki and Ai was wrong and if she realizes just how much Jun loved her than perhaps Jun's 'sacrifice' may have some meaning

If Jun didn't die then perhaps Sayu will find some measure of redemption in looking after and caring for Jun, like Jun did for her at the same time realizing how poorly she treated the people who cared for her.

O M G

SarangAi, you update too quickly, my friend  :nervous
With school and work I can't possibly catch up to your speed of updating, but then again I'm not taking this as a bad thing  :lol:
I just don't have the power right now to sit through and comment on each individual chapter.. not when I'm feeling this ill  :cry:

I was actually expecting a lot more angst between TakaGaki, why didn't you make them suffer more?!  :twisted:  I was seriously expecting Sayumi evil to reign another 20+ chapters or so, but no, that wasn't quite the case. You couldn't stretch it out anymore? You know, the pain and the heartache? Aw dang, maybe it's just me and my twistedness >.<
The moment when Ai begins feeling Risa up against her will...  :OMG: that really gave me a shock, I wasn't quite anticipating that to happen. But it was oddly enjoyable to read. I hope I'm not coming across as some monster  :sweatdrop: but you know, I was sure deep down Risa loved Ai and that kind of thing to happen between them wasn't so bad.. it was just the rough, ruthless manner in which Ai carried out her actions..

Anyways, like a lot of people have commented, things were really starting to unravel like a K-drama.. and usually for me, that would be a bad thing because I'm kind of sick of K-drama drama, it's usually unrealistic and been recycled to death. Damn that Sayu. Is she even human?! I can't understand how somebody can be that selfish, that BLIND to the feelings of the people around her. How she ever managed to be that evil and inconsiderate (from a young age!) is beyond me. She's probably Satan's child in disguise  :twisted: OK, she's not really that bad.. but you know what I mean...

But the drama was oddly satisfying to read here, when Gaki-san was able to catch all those nasty secrets Sayumi spilled to Eri, the confrontation, finally everything being resolved between TakaGaki. That was SO sweet. Ai-chan...

And the perv...  :on bleed:
I especially enjoyed the conversation they had leading up to the smoking smex, can't get enough of these two!  :heart: :heart:
Thank you for your pervs, they're awesome and I always look forward to reading them!  :bow:
(why wasn't there a TanaKame version though? xD)

And this latest chapter...
 :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
I think it was kind of expected that Sayu would do something like that, considering all her, 'I can't live without you!' whining.  :thumbdown:

But TANAKA!
 :bow: :bow: :bow:
The way she stormed into the room and gave Sayu a piece of her mind (with Ai-chan clinging onto her like that, added hotness)..  :mon crazyinlove:
YOU GO GIRL!

But now, I'm just...  :angry:
You better not have killed of Jun! Or maybe, you have... and that means Sayu having to live with the guilt for the rest of her life...
But I still prefer Jun to stay alive and Sayu finally coming to her senses and spending the rest of her life making it up to Jun  :twothumbs

Anyways, THANK YOU for your updates, and really can't wait to find out what is going to happen next!

No comment replies again... I started to write out the replies and then I realized I was spoiling everything in this chapter XD

But it all came down to two things, I think:
1) you're all worried about Junjun  :cry:
2) Reina is KICKASS  XD

Onwards~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 92

   The sunlight shines on the girl who just interrupted her thoughts by walking into her room.  She has a black stool tucked under her arm; next to her is a keyboard on wheels.  Her hair is jet black, just like her own.  Her eyes grow wider and wider… she utters a word… beautiful…

   It makes the patient happy.  Just for a split second, she forgets about the person she was originally thinking of, and concentrates on this visitor.  She seems kind of spaced out, stuttering like that.  But her eyes are sincere, especially when she plays the piano.

   Michishige Sayumi-san? My name is…  Nice to meet you.

   Michishige-san…

   Sayumi…

   “Sayumi!”

   “Look, she’s waking up!  Sayumi!”

   The black-haired girl opened her eyes, waking up from her dream.  She could see familiar faces, looking down at her happily yet worriedly.

   “Risa-chan…?  Eririn…?”

   “Thank goodness you’re alright!” Eri sighed, smiling.  Her eyes were a little puffy; had she been crying again?

   “… What happened?” Sayumi moaned, slowly getting up from the comfy bed.  Surprisingly, nobody tried to stop her.

   “Do you remember, Sayu?” Risa said quietly.  “You fell from the third story and blacked out.  You’ve been asleep for a whole 24 hours.  You have some cuts here and there, but no serious injuries.  The doctors were surprised too; you should be okay in a couple days.”

   “Thank goodness…” Eri mumbled again.

   Sayumi rubbed the side of her head, feeling a constant buzz inside.  Her muscles were a little tight but not painful.  How could she have fallen from the third story and not die?  Much less, how could she get away without a single injury?  She gasped sharply.

   “Junjun!” she suddenly yelled, the previous event and her dream washing over at the same time.  “W-where is she?  Where’s Junjun?  Is she okay?”

   Neither of the girls answered her.  Risa looked away to the side while Eri bit down on her bottom lip.  The black-haired girl could feel the anger rising in her.

   “Where is she?” she shrilled.  “Why aren’t you answering me?  She’s not… she’s not…”

   “Lower your voice, Sayumi,” Eri hushed, putting a hand on the bunny’s shoulder.  “Junjun’s not dead, don’t worry.”

   “Then where is she?” the younger girl growled.

   “She’s in a different room, a couple doors down the hall,” Risa answered.  “She’s had medical attention; the doctors are doing their best.”

   “Doing their best to do what?” Sayumi shouted.  She needed to know the exact condition this girl was in!

   “Sayumi, she was underneath you when you two fell,” Eri said quietly.  “She basically cushioned your fall, so all the shock went to her.  A couple bones broken, here and there, but to be honest… that’s the least of her problems.”  Eri leaned in a little closer to her cousin, as if to console her.  “Sayumi… Junjun suffered a severe head injury.  She’s asleep right now.”

   “Like… a coma?” the younger girl whispered.

   “We don’t want to think of it that way,” Risa cut in.  “A coma is usually untreatable, but the doctors aren’t sure whether Junjun will be able to wake up or not.  All we can do is hope now.”

   Sayumi exhaled sharply as she looked down at her hands.  They were clean now, but she could still remember the way it was covered in blood.  This girl… she had thrown herself off a building to save her.  She may never be alive again because of her. 

   “I want to see her,” Sayumi suddenly declared.  “I want to see Junjun.”

   “Sayumi, I think you should rest for a little longer—”

   “No, I want to see her now!”

   “I’ll take you.”

   The three friends turned to where the voice came from.  The two High-Queen members were standing by the door; how long had they been there?  The younger idol grabbed the wheelchair in the corner and kicked it open.  Her face was expressionless.

   “You… you’ll help me?” Sayumi asked, her eyes widening.

   “The need to be with the one who saved you…” the yankii murmured, glancing at her girlfriend, “I know that feeling.”

   Eri smiled a little at her lover’s words.  Risa looked worriedly at her own girlfriend, who gave her a smile to comfort her; she obviously had some sort of fate in her partner.  Sayumi stayed frozen for a couple seconds, but determined that Reina was being sincere.  So with her friends’ help, she slowly got up from the bed and limped towards the wheelchair.  After she sat down, Reina herself wheeled her out of the room followed by the other girls.

   After passing by a couple doors, they managed to find the room with the correct nameplate.  Ai opened the door and walked in first, followed by the patient.  There was a nurse sitting on the chair by the bed, writing something on a clipboard.

   “Excuse me,” Ai said, causing the nurse to look up, “we’re Junjun’s friends.  May we stay here for a while?”

   “Yes, I was just writing down some last comments,” the nurse replied, smiling.  “Try not to be too loud.”

   The young nurse got up and started to walk out of the room.  But before she closed the door behind her, she said one more thing.

   “By the way, the doctor thinks that the patient may be able to hear us, although she may not respond.”

   After the door clicked close, Reina wheeled Sayumi over to the side of the bed.  There was an oxygen mask over Junjun’s mouth while gauze wrapped her head.  Her eyes were closed as though she was sleeping; she had actually never looked more peaceful in her entire life, compared to the pained expression she always had. 

   Sayumi stared at the silent girl for a while with shocked eyes.  Then, she slowly reached out and took her cold hand.  She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.  There was definitely something she needed to say… some sort of regret, repent… But nothing came out except for tears.

   “You idiot!” she cried out.  “You… Why would you sacrifice yourself for someone like me?  Even though I never paid attention to you… Why didn’t you just give up on me…?”

   Sayumi bent down and pressed her forehead against Junjun’s hand as she continued to cry.  This girl was always there, trying to find some way to make her happy.  This girl had always loved her, even after she found out the truth.  This girl always knew that she could be so cruel… but she still risked her own life for her.  Sayumi needed to say something… needed to say…

   “I’m sorry…” she whispered hoarsely, still sobbing.  “I’m so sorry…”

   Suddenly, the black-haired girl felt a slight pressure on her hand.  Something was squeezing her.  She looked up at the sleeping girl’s face but detected no change.  But… she was holding her hand.  Junjun was gently squeezing her hand right now; she could hear her.

   “Junjun…” Sayumi breathed.  She squeezed back as she pressed her face against the Chinese girl’s hand again.

   Risa and Eri silently watched their friend repent with mixed feelings.  On one hand, it seemed as though Sayumi had changed, which was good.  But on the other, she had changed at a price.  The two singers silently walked to the door and stood there, waiting.  Ai gently knocked Reina’s head with a fist.

   “You did a good job,” she smiled.

   “I still don’t like her,” the yankii grumbled.

   “That’s okay,” Ai grinned.  “I’m still not that fond of her either.”

   Soon, the black-haired girl’s crying started to fade away, as she just stared at her savior with blank eyes.  Eri placed a hand on her shoulder.

   “Sayu, I think you should go back now.”

   “No,” the bunny mumbled, “I want to stay here.”  She can hear me… She can wake up…

   “Let her stay,” Risa said.  She gently patted the younger girl’s head.  “I’ll see you around, Sayumi.”

   “We’ll visit again,” Eri said, bending down to give her a quick kiss on the cheek. 

   The two friends slowly walked towards the exit, where their respective lovers were waiting.  Before they could close the door, the hoarse voice of the young girl stopped them.

   “I’m sorry.”

   All four girls turned around to see Sayumi’s back; it seemed as though she hadn’t moved, but there was still something different.  She turned her head a little bit, just enough to reveal the side of her face.

   “I’m… sorry,” she repeated.  “And… thank you.”

   Eri blinked a couple times before realizing what her cousin had just said.  She smiled and ran back to the younger girl and gave her a big hug.  Risa smiled a little as Ai patted her head.  Reina watched the entire scene with no expression whatsoever.

   The turtle skittered out of the room and closed the door behind her.  Reina immediately wrapped her arm around her waist.  Ai gave a kiss on the bean’s head.

   “We did good, didn’t we?” Risa grinned.

   “Mm-hm,” Ai answered.  “I’m proud of you.”

   “Now, all we have to do is pray for Junjun,” Eri said, smiling sadly. 

   “She’ll wake up,” Reina said.  “Considering all the things she’s put up with so far, this may not be the worst.  She’ll definitely wake up.”

   “And we’ll keep believing that,” Ai said.  “Come on, let’s get you guys home.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So the bunny is slowly gettin a heart :lol:



btw guys, I'm starting to brainstorm a little for my next fic (I know, fast, right?) XD
I don't know when I'm going to start it after Kokoro no Uta is over, but I'd like to have all your opinions beforehand :)

So I'm setting up a poll so you can vote for your favorite couple!!! XD
The couple with the most votes will be the main, the next largest amount of votes will be the sub-main... and so on :twothumbs
show some MoMusu love~ XD

I'm seeing Takagaki in the future, but I'm actually hoping for Tanagaki.  :lol: I really love both pairings! whatever comes next, I'm sure it will be great.


Unless it's RenAi and GakiKame... :mon cweepy: :mon uggh:

Whew! Jun's not dead! That's a load off. And Sayu seems to be slowly, slowly coming around. Now, how are you going to finish up the story? I'm excited to see the next wight chapters!

I had to throw one in for TanaKame :D ......but I would love to see RenAi written by you. I like the thin line they seem to be treading in Kokoro no Uta. I kind of wanted to see Risa have a bit of a go at Reina's 'past history' with Ai, the morning after she heard about it from Ai herself XD
It would be refreshing to see a new pairing in your new fic (as long as it's not GakiKame or KameShige :smhid)


Junjun is still in a coma. Maybe that will be a blessing in disguise for her, maybe she'll wake up and turn out that she doesn't remember anything so she and Sayu can start anew :D

catching up with comments time~ sorry, if it's all over the place! I just wrote down everything and didn't check it over.  :nervous

Ch. 83 : OMG, song fic! This chapter is sooo awesomely perfectly well written! It was so sad T^T tears ended up rolling down my cheeks because of it. I think if I hadn't taken a break from the angst and just continued from before I wouldve ended up bawling instead XD

Ch.84: Lol, Junjun standing in the corner seems kinda creepy to me, like stalker status much? or a bodyguard...lol. ARGH, SAYU :angry: Oh, and I'm loving Eri in this chapter :)

Ch.85:
Quote
“I don’t like this!  This isn’t the Ai I know!”
Gosh darn! You know how much I like possessive Ai, right? :twisted: mmm, she even marked her territory. this chapter was MEGA AWESOME! I was actually waiting for something like this to happen soon, but mann, that was legittt~ :on_hot: too bad Risa. XD sorry, I'm just sadistic like that :roll:

Ch.86: :cry: aww, Risa is such a sweet and caring girl. She can just totally cheat on Sayu with Ai, but she's so dang awesome being faithful and all. :sweatdrop: To act like she has in a situation like that, takes a lot of strength and courage, especially when her true love is right in front of her eyes.  :oops: Mega props to her!

Ch.87: OH SHIZZ~! :shocked Kame was in love with Risa?!?!?!  :O love hexagon alert~ aww mann, Eri's story... it hurts...  :cry: (Heh, this sounds like a really good fic idea! Maybe turn it into a prequel? after you finish this :)) ACK, Sayu knew? Wow, she's more evil than I thought.
Quote
“The one who separated Ai-chan and Risa-chan,” Sayumi said, “… was me.”
I KNEW IT!  :thumbsup it couldn't have been as simple as Aichan just leaving cuz she was mad or else why would everyone want to keep all hush-hush about it! *reads Sayu's explanation* Oh, hmm, yeah, it was pretty simple. :P I thought Sayu had some really evil plan up her sleeve even back then, but I guess not.  XD WAIT, ACK, something's not connecting in my brain... so how did Ai find out about all this? and why is it still a secret @__@ I think I need to go reread... I'm lost  XD been away for too long playing games...
*Risa walks in*
OH SNAPS~ b*tch fight time~~  :panic: :panic: :cow: I totally did not expect that to happen!
*Risa runs out*
Aww, darnnit, no b*tch fight :(
Poor Eri...  :cry:
That was ONE INTENSE CHAPTER!  :panic: GOOD JOB!  :cow:

Ch.88: I LOL'd at Risa throwing her phone on the ground and then picking it up again. :lol: nice use of comic relief there!  :)
*Risa running around* dang that girl has a lot of energy! She's so frantic... over energized bunny status XD It's sooo funny trying to picture her like that, hehe.
Quote
“Oh, I know you, Niigaki-san!” the lady said brightly, clapping her hands together.  “Your songs are very nice!”
LOL at the DFA lady! More comic relief there? AHAHA. Awesome stuff.  :twothumbs
*Risa running around again*  :shocked wow~ over energized indeed. or just really impatient to see someone  :fap
*Risa running around yet again" OMG, I think I'm getting tired for her here @__@ dang, you go girl!
Cute Aigaki scene FTW~~  :wub:

Ch.89: Reina ditching work for Eri  :wub: w00t~ and aww, Gakikame hug~

“Not that I’m not digging the sweet moment,” Ai said slowly
LOL~ Ai, you're just jealous  :smhid
Ai being Ai... :thumbsup taking charge of the situation.

Ch.90: OSOI YO~ dang Aichan is slowwwww!

“That kind of thing… it was you HOT, so it doesn’t bother me.”

“I like my natural leader abilities,” the singer joked again.
Heh, you're not the only one that likes then :lol:

“If I can’t have you, then I’d rather die!” the black-haired girl screamed back.  “Risa-chan… please, stay with me…”
OMG~ :shocked this totally screams Kdrama to me  :lol:

Sorry for not commenting on your latest chapters. School has started for me and I'm currently really busy.
I'm so happy that Sayumi is beginning to realize that was she did was wrong.
So sad for Jun though. :cry: I wish she's fine.

I voted for TANAKAMEI! Since you focused more on TakaGaki this time, I really want you to write a good Tanakamei fanfic with a strong plot. Please please please let it be Tanakamei!!!!!

@rndmnwierd: lol not a GakiKame fan myself, but I still love all of MoMusu so... XD

@fallenxangel: yup~ I don't like killing off my characters, unless they're dead before the story even starts XD

@aussie: Yeah, I thought it would be refreshing too but it looks like i might stick with the same couples... :nervous

@Haruka: lol I love Jun, I couldn't kill her XD

@kano-chan: yay~~~ I'm glad you think my fic is good, that means a lot to me~ :twothumbs

@xanimefreak13x: YO I missed you XD I keep on trying to avoid the Kdrama road, but I like drama in general... can't help it :nervous

@Haruka: I know, right? :D

@sapphire: rly??  I feel like I focused on TanaKame much more than I planned for in this fic... maybe it's cuz TakaGaki came second? XD


So I like the responses i'm getting~~ things are getting pretty exiciting, aren't they? :twothumbs

I thought that it would be nice to write about a new couple, but it looks like I may stick with the same pairings... :nervous

Maybe it's because I'm the author so you guys wanna hear another story about the same pairings? Or maybe it's because everybody reading this is a TakaGaki/TanaKame fan, so everybody's voting for them XD

anyway, poll closes on monday, but i might make my decision on sunday... you know you guys can vote twice, right? :D

Chapter 93

   “Are you kidding me?” Reina growled.  “I’m not singing any of this!”

   The yankii threw down the pile of scores on the table and crossed her arms across her chest.  Risa laughed as she set the music sheets into a neat stack again.

   “Why not?” the bean grinned.  “I think you would sing these songs wonderfully.”

   “I’m not doubting my singing abilities, Gaki, you know that,” Reina shot back.  “You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”

   “Am I?” Risa asked, making a mock gasp.

   “I hate you.”

   “Saying that to me is saying it to your girlfriend,” Risa smirked.  “That’s right~ Kameha and I are just that close.”

   “Good job, that just made me hate you even more,” the yankii said, putting on a fake smile.

   Risa grinned as she watched the yankii idol puff up her cheeks and glare down at the table.  Today was the day for High-Queen to plan their coupling solo songs with their song writer for the next single.  Risa had picked out a couple pieces for Reina that was completely unsuited for the tough yankii, with soft and girly lyrics.  The young singer was obviously frustrated by that.

   “Reina, I picked these songs out for you for a good reason,” Risa explained.

   “Try me,” the younger girl scoffed, rolling her eyes.

   “Look closely at the lyrics of these songs: they’re all about love, isn’t it?  I think it really shows the cute and sweet side of a girl’s love.”

   “… You know that doesn’t convince me one bit,” Reina muttered.

   “I’m not finished,” Risa said, rolling her eyes. “The only time you lose your cold image is in front of Eri.  Don’t try to deny it; you know I’m right.  As much as you show your warm side to her, there still are certain things that you wouldn’t say to her even though it’s how you feel… Are you getting my drift?”

   “Like… mushy stuff?” Reina asked, wrinkling her nose.

   “Yeah: cheesy, corny, whatever,” Risa grinned.  “But they’re all still sweet and different words of love.  Wouldn’t you like to say these kinds of things to Kameha for once?  It would make her pretty happy…”  Reina didn’t answer.  “I’ll take that as a yes.  So here’s my solution: I say sing what you can’t say.”

   “Sing what I can’t say?”

   “Exactly.  These lyrics are exclusively written this way for you to express your feelings for Eri.  You would never be able to say these things to her directly; so I want you to sing it out.  Music is a way of communication, you know.”

   “I know…” Reina mumbled, slowly getting convinced by the bean. 

   She started to slowly flip through the pile of scores again.  Could she truly pull of such songs?  All these ballads and happy songs… If it’s for Eri, could she sing it?  Finally deciding on her choice, the yankii bravely pulled out one score and separated it from the rest.

   “This one,” she said.  “I want to sing this one.”

   “Really?” Risa questioned, raising an eyebrow.  “You… really want to sing this one?”

   “Is there a problem?”

   “No, no problem, it’s just that… this song is the girliest piece I brought.”

   “So?” Reina muttered, blushing a little.  “I like challenging myself.”

   “… You’re really getting into this, aren’t you?” Risa smirked, pulling the score to herself.  “Quite daring, Reina.”

   “Whatever.  We’re done now, right?”

   “Yup,” the bean nodded, packing the stack of scores away in her bag and pulling out another batch.  “Send in Ai-chan for me.”

   “Already present,” a chuckling voice said.

   Risa turned her chair around to see the High-Queen leader standing in the doorway.  Reina walked past her out of the room but something made her stop.

   “I think you’re pretty daring too, Reina,” Ai smirked.  “I’ll be looking forward to this girly song.”

   “Shut up,” the yankii growled.

   The older idol laughed to herself as she closed the door behind her and sat down next to the bean.  Risa frowned at her.

   “You can’t tease her like that,” she scolded.  “You weren’t even supposed to be listening.”

   “I was just trying to make sure she didn’t make a move on my girl,” Ai said innocently.

   “Me and Reina?” Risa scoffed.  “Funny, Ai-chan, very funny.”

   “I try.”

   “So, let’s get down to business,” Risa said, pushing the pile of music to her girlfriend.  “Take a look at these for a while.”

   “Actually,” Ai grinned, pushing the stack of papers back, “I already have a solo song.  Tsunku-san approved it too.”

   “… You do?” the bean asked, confused.  She didn’t remember giving the leader a song.  “How come I don’t know anything about this?”

   “Because I wrote it,” Ai announced proudly.  “And I wanted to keep it a secret from you.”

   “Really?” Risa exclaimed.  “You wrote it?  That’s amazing, Ai-chan!  Let me see!”

   “No way,” the leader shook her head.  “It’s still a secret to you.  You’ll hear it at the Christmas live.”

   “What?” Risa shrilled, frowning again.  “So you’re keeping me in the dark about this until Christmas?  The recording, the producing, and everything?”

   “Yup!” Ai answered cheerfully.  “I only want you to hear the best, and that will be after I complete the recording and get plenty of practice.”

   “I don’t like the sound of this,” Risa muttered.  “I thought I was part of the producing staff.”

   “You are, sweetheart,” Ai cooed, putting an arm around the younger girl.  “But hey, good things take time.  Like us.”

   “…Still corny, but sweet,” Risa grinned, snuggling a little closer to Ai’s chest.

   “As long as you like it,” the older girl murmured.

   “So we’re done now, right?” Risa said, backing away from her girlfriend.  “Let’s get out of here.”

   “No, stay,” Ai pouted, pulling the bean back down to her seat.  “We still have another half an hour in this room… Let’s stay for a while.”

   “What can we do in here?”

   “I don’t know, talk?”  The leader put one cheek on the table and gazed up at her girlfriend.  “Or we could just stay like this.”

   “With you staring up at me like that?” Risa asked, raising an eyebrow.

   “Yeah,” Ai chuckled.  “Or we could do something like this…”

   The leader reached up and pushed her lover’s head down towards herself.  Their lips met together as the warmth and the softness was transferred into each other’s mouths.  Risa let out a quiet moan, enjoying the loving moment.  Ai slowly lifted her head without breaking the kiss, and pulled her girlfriend’s waist closer to her.  Risa got heaved out of her seat and landed on her girlfriend’s lap as Ai broke their lip-lock and buried her head in the younger girl’s shoulder.  The bean smiled as she cuddled a little closer to her girlfriend’s beating heart.

   “Can I ask you something?” Ai whispered.

   “Mm?”

   “Do you ever regret giving up on being a singer?”

   “… There are certain days,” Risa answered quietly.  “Sometimes, I dream of it all over again: being on stage, singing for other people, the never-ending applause…  I do miss it.  But I think I’m pretty happy right now, so I’m okay.”

   “… Do you ever think about wanting to become a singer again?”

   “I can’t; I get stage frights.”

   “Disregarding that fact.”

   “Well… I’m pretty content being a song writer,” Risa answered.  “I still get to have a part in the music world, which I love.  I don’t need to be a singer to truly know this kind of art, you know?  Besides, if I didn’t change my career path back then, I may not have ever met you again.”

   “I don’t know about that,” Ai contradicted.  “I think you still would’ve been able to debut as a singer, and I would’ve chased you down one way or another.”

   “Still, things could’ve been different,” Risa sighed.  “But I’m happy like this… I’m happy with what I do, my friends, and you.”  She craned her neck and gave her girlfriend a quick peck on the cheek.

   “I guess that’s all that matters,” Ai smiled.  “But I still miss your singing.  The CD you sneaked into my bag before wasn’t exactly what I had in mind, though.”

   “Sorry,” the bean mumbled.

   “But it was still nice,” Ai chuckled.  “I like hearing you sing.”

   “I’ll sing some more for you another time,” Risa promised.

   “Yeah…” the leader mumbled.  “Another time…”

   She heard her girlfriend laughing softly as she snuggled a little closer, if that was possible.  Ai leaned on the bean’s head and sighed contently, thinking about the way she could make her wish come true.

   “Maybe… if I do that… Maybe…

Chapter 92: I knew your Jun love would win through in the end and you couldn't let her die :sweatdrop: I really like this chapter Sayu reactions towards Jun a great, how she still demands to see Jun and stuff like a child but looking at Jun there in a coma she ralizes her own shortcomings, as you said at the bottom of the chapter the bunny may indeed be getting a heart.....

Chapter 93: Ha Ha Gaki wrapping Reina round her little finger, I wonder what Eri will think of Reina's girly song, Ai wrote a song herself, I wonder what in it that she has to keep it a secrect from Gaki, Ai wants Gaki to sing, I wonder what she's got planned?

Chapter 94

   “You know how I really hate music?” Sayumi asked, walking back and forth slowly by the foot of the bed.  “Well, there’s only one song in the world that I like.  Do you want to know what it is?”

   Silence answered her.  After all, the only people in the room were the bunny and her panda friend, who was currently asleep.  The constant beep of the heart rate machine resonated every couple seconds.  Other than that, the room was rather quite whenever Sayumi stopped talking.

   “Mariage D’amour,” the black-haired girl sighed, sitting down on the chair by the bed.  “Do you remember?  It’s that song you played for me when we first met.  Don’t misunderstand; it’s not because you played it or anything.  But it has that sad tone to it, so I like it.  I may actually start to listen to more piano songs from now on.  Doesn’t that make you happy?”

   Sayumi paused and stared at the sleeping girl’s face, her mouth covered with an oxygen mask.  The younger girl smiled a little before taking the panda’s hand.  It had been a week since the accident; Sayumi was able to walk around now, although her body was still weak compared to other people’s.  However, Junjun hadn’t made much progress.  But it was the bunny’s secret that sometimes, when she started talking, the older girl would squeeze her hand a little.  It seemed like the biggest hope in the world that she would wake up.

   “So you better wake up again,” the bunny mumbled.  “You have to play piano for me and introduce to me to some other songs too.  You better wake up…”

   Suddenly, the beeping of the heart rate machine quickened.  Sayumi looked up with an alarmed expression; the beeping got faster and faster until the waves changed from yellow to red. 

   “Somebody, help!” the young girl screamed.  “She’s dying!  Someone help!”

   A doctor and two nurses rushed into the room with a cart after hearing her cries.  The doctor checked the panda’s pulse and nodded at the nurse.  The beeping ceased as the sound changed into a single tone; her heart had stopped.

   “No, Junjun!” Sayumi screamed.  “Please, help her!  Please!”

   “Please step away,” the doctor ordered.  One of the nurses handed him two pads of metal.  The doctor rubbed them together for a moment while the other nurse opened up the panda’s shirt.  He placed the pads on each side of the patient’s chest. 

   “Clear,” one nurse announced.

   A shock of electricity traveled through Junjun’s body, causing her to twitch a little.  But her eyes still did not open and the tone of the heart rate box continued.  Tears started to stream down the bunny’s cheeks as she covered her head with her hands.  The doctor rubbed the two pads again and pressed it against the patient’s body.

   “Clear.”

   Another zap of electricity was sent out, but to no avail.  Sayumi clenched her teeth as she tried to keep her whimpers to a minimum.  The doctor rubbed the pads together again and placed it on Junjun’s chest.

   “Clear.”

   “If you love me, you have to wake up NOW!” Sayumi screamed.

   A jolt of electricity shot through the panda again.  The heart rate box’s tone got cut off with steady beeps again.  The sound of air being sucked out of the oxygen tank was heard, and the doctor let out a sigh of relief.

   “She… she’s okay?” the black-haired girl stuttered.

   “Yes, her heart rate is back to normal,” one of the nurses confirmed.

   “Yes…” the doctor agreed, looking at the machine with a curious expression.  “It’s… too normal.”  He gently placed a hand on the panda’s wrist.  “… Junjun-san?  Can you hear me?”

   Sayumi’s eyes widened as gazed at her savior.  She took her hand again and sat down by the bed. 

   “Junjun…?”

   The patient’s eyelids flickered at the bunny’s voice.  As Sayumi watched in awe as the older girl slowly opened her eyes.  She breathed steadily as she turned a little to look at the girl next to her.

   “Junjun…!” the younger girl breathed. 

   The panda’s expression didn’t change as she seemed to space out.  However, Sayumi knew that Junjun was back… for the squeeze her hand was receiving was stronger than ever before.

**  **  ** 

   Four girls dashed down the hallway without any desire to stop.  The turtle got to the destination first, followed by her friend and the two idols.  She pushed the door open and stared at the two people by the bed.  She exhaled sharply as the bean next to her sighed in relief.  The older singer grinned as her partner smiled smugly. 

   “Kamei-san, Gaki-san…” Junjun whispered softly, smiling.  “And Takahashi-san and Tanaka-san too.  Please come in.”

   “I got your call, Sayumi,” Eri grinned, walking towards the bed with her friends.  “Good to see you up again, Jun.”

   “You look great,” Risa chimed in.

   “There’s still some good in the world, huh?” Ai teased.

   “I told you all, didn’t I?” Reina said, flipping her hair.  “This girl won’t go down that easily.”

   “Thank you, everyone,” Junjun chuckled.

   The panda was sitting up, thanks to the bed being able to bend back and forth by remote-control.  Sayumi was sitting on the foot of the bed, her hand still tightly locked around her savior’s.  She stared down at the white sheets, expressionless and wordless.

   “Isn’t this good, Sayu?” Eri asked.  “Now you can repay her back.”

   “I already did, so shut up, Eririn,” the bunny muttered.  Her cheeks blushed into a soft pink.

   “Yeah, um… she already did,” Junjun said, biting down on her lip while smiling.

   “Wait a minute!” the turtle yelled.  “Are you two already—”

   “No, we’re not!” Sayumi interrupted.  “Don’t say stupid things.”

   “We’re really not, Kamei-san,” Junjun confirmed.  “It was just an expression of gratitude, that’s all.”

   “Well… I’m glad things are settled then,” Eri mumbled, stilling eyeing her cousin suspiciously.  “I guess we really just came to see you again, Jun.  Glad to see you up and talking.”

   “Speaking of talking, I have something to say,” Junjun announced, turning serious.  “Takahashi-san, Niigaki-san… I want to apologize for the trouble I’ve caused you.  It was wrong of me to request such a thing to Gaki-san, and I realize my faults.  Please forgive me.”

   “Of course, Junjun,” Ai smiled.  “You had your reasons for doing such things and I understand that.  Anyway, it was kind of my fault too; I shouldn’t have let Risa go so easily like that.  But you taught me how to be persistent in what I truly want… so thank you.”

   “I think you’re the bravest one out of all of us, Junjun,” Risa grinned.  “I respect you for that.  Don’t worry about what happened, okay?  Just concentrate on recovering now.”

   “Thank you,” the panda smiled, touched by the kindness of the couple she had once come in between.  “Thank you so much…”

   “Well, we’ll get going then,” Eri sighed.  “We all kind of ran out in the middle of work; it was a good thing Tsunku-san wasn’t with us in the room.”

   “I would suggest getting back before he does come to check on us, though,” Risa mumbled.

   The four friends headed to the door and walked out of the room.  Before closing the door, Eri gave a quick wave to her cousin and the pianist. 

   “You really do have nice friends, Shige-san,” Junjun sighed.  “You’re very lucky.”

   “I know that,” the bunny mumbled, “… now.”

   “Better late than never,” Junjun grinned.  She squeezed the hand of the girl she loved, allowing Sayumi to look up.

   “Are you sure you’re okay with just staying like this?” the younger girl whispered.  “You would still visit me and hang around me?”

   “Of course I would,” Junjun said, matter-of-factly.  “I can’t leave you no matter how much I try.”

   “… You know I don’t love you.”

   “I know.”

   “And we’re not going out.”

   “I know that too.”  The panda smiled as she leaned in a little closer to the bunny.  “But considering the way you gave me a kiss to repay me back before… Can I take that as allowing me to be a possible choice to you?”

   “… Yes,” Sayumi said quietly, looking down.  “You can think that.”

   “Then I’ll wait for you,” Junjun grinned.  “I’ll wait as long as it takes for you to realize I’m the one for you.  But this time, I won’t just watch from the sidelines.”

   With that, the panda stretched forward and kissed the younger girl’s lips, despite her surprise.  She kissed her several times in an increasingly passionate way before slowly backing away.  Sayumi’s eyes were wide for a moment, but then they narrowed.

   “If you weren’t a patient right now,” she growled, “I would so slap you.”

   “Then I’m pretty happy with my current status,” Junjun joked.  “Maybe I should fall off buildings more often.”

   “That wasn’t funny!” Sayumi yelled, getting up from the bed.  She marched over to the door before the older girl stopped her.

   “You’re leaving me?”

   Sayumi paused for a while.  But then, she turned around and slowly walked back to the patient and sat down on the chair by the bed.  She crossed her arms and pouted.

   “I owe you too much,” she grumbled.  “Just go to sleep.”

   “Will you be here when I wake up?”

   “You have two hours.”

   “Okay, then.”

   Sayumi pressed the remote control to recline the bed back into its original position.  Junjun closed her eyes and sighed contently.  She licked her lips with a smile before drifting off to sleep, hoping to dream of that very sweet taste of the previous kiss.

Aww~I like the past two chapters.
I'm really excited to find out what song Reina is going to sing.
Yay~junjun now  has a chance to date Sayu
The past two chapters are so sweet :wub:

Btw, you said we could vote twice...right? XD I don't really see that option cus the poll won't let me vote twice. Oh and also it is right that you wrote more Tanakamei for this fanfic. But as you stated, you wrote more than you thought you would write. That's not considered "a lot" in general. Though, TakaGaki is a very great couple too. I like your writing, that's why I want to see you write Tanakamei. :)

Look at this commenting on two consecutive chapters!!!!!!!!!!????????????!!!!!!!!!  :panic: :? :panic: wat is the World coming to?

Somehow I felt like the interaction between Sayu and Jun in this chapter was sweeter ta anyting you had done with the other two pairs, I suppose it was the apparent awkwardness which jus made i really sweet and endearing!

I am glad that Jun is up and about, ;m sure she'll get her girl in the end...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 95

   “I can’t believe you’re doing this to me!” Eri yelled, trying to keep her weight in one place.  “Stop pushing me!  No, I don’t want to leave!”

   “Can’t you just get out quietly, Kameha?” Risa groaned, rolling her eyes.  “It’s Reina’s turn to record and she wants you out!”

   The bean continued to push her friend towards the door; the turtle tried to lean back but it didn’t help much.  It was finally time for High-Queen to record their coupling solo songs, and Reina was up first.  Since the yankii had wanted to keep the song a secret from her girlfriend, Risa was trying to kick the turtle out of the studio.

   “But I want to listen!” Eri whined, almost at the door.  “Reina-chan!”

   The yankii bit down on her lips, her resolve weakening.  “… Maybe it’s better if she stays—”

   “Stay strong, Reina,” Ai reminded.

   “You’re right, you have to leave babe,” Reina said right away, snapping out of her guilty conscience.

   “Reina-chan!” Eri yelled in disbelief. 

   “You heard your girlfriend,” the bean grinned.  “Out!”

   With that, the turtle was shoved out of the studio behind the locked door.  Risa skittered over to the sound panel and put on her headphones.  She looked up at the yankii who was already in the sound booth, giving a thumbs-up.

   “Let’s make this quick,” she said.  “I don’t want to keep Eri waiting too long.”

   “She’ll be back within the next three minutes if you finish this in one try,” the bean said.  “Are you ready?”

   “Hit me.”

   As Risa pressed the play button, a slow instrumental started to flow out of the headphones and the speakers.  Reina closed her eyes to concentrate, and started to sing.

    The lyrics were sweet and cute; it was actually quite unfitting for the yankii idol.  However, her passion for singing was enough to completely change her image that was perfect for the song.  In Ai and Risa’s eyes, Reina was not the cold ice princess anymore; she was just another girl in love.

   With the yankii’s entire focus on the recording session, she was able to create a soundtrack in one try.  After the song ended, Risa couldn’t help but applaud.

   “That was awesome, Reina!” she praised.  “I knew you could pull it off!”

   “Could you let Eri in?” Reina asked, stepping out of the booth.

   Ai smiled proudly at her partner as she unlocked the studio door.  The turtle immediately skipped in and attacked her girlfriend, kissing her a little too passionately considering there were two other people watching.  Reina’s eyes widened as Risa’s mouth popped open.  Ai just raised an eyebrow as she cleared her throat.  Eri backed away a little and smiled as sweetly as she could.

   “Please let me hear your recording?” she asked, giving her girlfriend that innocent look.  “Please?”

   “… I’m sorry, baby, I’m not falling for that,” Reina grinned.

   “It was worth a try,” Eri grumbled, removing her arms from around the yankii’s neck. 

   “Interesting way to get your girlfriend to do things for you,” Ai smirked.  “Maybe I should try that some day.”

   “Don’t, because I have weak resolutions,” Risa grumbled.  “Thanks a lot, Kameha.”

   “Don’t mention it,” Eri grinned.  “It’s your turn to record now, right Ai-chan?”

   “Yup.”

   “May I do the honors?”

   “You may,” the leader smirked again.

   In a flash, Eri pulled her friend out of her chair and swung her out of the studio.  Risa started to say something but the turtle started to close the door.

   “How does it feel to be left out?” Eri taunted.  “Now you’ll know exactly how I felt!”

   The turtle stuck out her tongue and slammed the door.  The bean fumed for a while but she knew there was nothing she could do about this.  Ai was quite determined in not letting her hear the oh-so-special song before the Christmas event on Song Fighter.  So the bean made herself comfortable by leaning on the wall and waiting for the recording session to be over.

   After what seemed like hours when it only had been minutes, the door finally clicked open.  Eri and Reina walked out, already wearing their coats. 

   “So?” the bean questioned her friend.  “Tell me something!”

   “There’s only one thing I can say,” Eri breathed.  “You’re girlfriend can sing.”

   “She’s a singer, Kameha,” Risa said, rolling her eyes.

   “No, I mean, she can seriously sing,” Eri breathed again.  “I think you’ll like it.”

   “… Gee, that helped me so much,” Risa grumbled.  “It’s Ai’s song; of course I’ll like it.”

   “I guess that’s true,” Eri smiled.  “I’m going to get lunch with Reina-chan, okay?  I’ll meet you back at home.”

   “Okay,” the bean mumbled. 

   After waving her friend goodbye, the short-haired girl walked back into the studio.  Her girlfriend was gathering her things and organizing the sound panel. 

   “If I kiss you right now,” Risa started, “would you let me listen to the recording?”

   “It’ll weaken my resolve,” the leader grinned, “but the answer will still be no.”

   “I won’t even attempt, then,” the younger girl muttered.

   “But if you kiss me right now,” Ai said, slowly walking up to her lover, “I’ll kiss you back.  Is that good enough?”

   “… For now.”

   Risa smiled as she placed her hands on the older girl’s shoulders.  Then, she kissed those lips that she loved, gently at first but a little more roughly after.  Ai returned the kiss with the same passion as her arms wound tightly around the bean’s waist.  Their tongues swirled around each other as if it were tying a knot, allowing the couple to taste each other effectively.  Risa let out a soft moan as she pressed herself against the idol a little more.  Ai let out a small laughter as they tapped their foreheads together. 

   “What would you say is your favorite memory with me?” the older girl questioned.

   “That’s too hard,” the bean murmured, pouting.

   “Name one,” the singer insisted.

   “… Our first night,” Risa mumbled, blushing a little.  “And our second.”

   “I like those memories too,” Ai chuckled.

   “What’s yours?”

   “Just… this.”

   Risa backed away a little, raising an eyebrow.  “This is your favorite memory of us?  Kind of weak, isn’t it?”

   “Not this specifically,” The leader laughed, pulling her girlfriend to her chest again.  “My favorite memory is this, as in the present.  Any moment that I’m with you in time will be my favorite.  As long as you’re with me, everyday will be a wonderful memory.”

   “That was kind of poetic,” Risa giggled.  “Alright, you beat me.”

   “It’s okay,” Ai whispered, grinning.  “My favorite moments include having sex too.  And I intend to make a lot of those memories.”

   “I’m not sure how to react to that,” Risa mumbled, turning bright red.

   “Come on,” the leader laughed, pulling away from her girlfriend and taking her hand instead.  “Let’s go get some lunch.”

   “Okay,” Risa agreed. 

   On the way out of the studio, the bean quickly snatched her coat from the sofa.  Then, the two lovers walked through the door, side by side, on their way to make another favorite memory of the present.

The turtle knows how to work her kitty :lol: Though the kitty held up well this time.


So TakaGaki and TanaKame going neck-to-neck with each other. Not really surprising, they are the two most popular pairings around out of the GoRokkies - there must be something about these them paired with each other that everybody just can't help but be drawn to. As I'm more of a TanaKame fan I must say, I am slightly worried that Eri's graduation will signal the end of TanaKame fics all around (or at least fading away). Yeah, forever the selfish fan I am  :sweatdrop:
Instead of setting aside one main couple and one sub-main couple, since there are two clear runaway candidates how about just make it a TanaKame/TakaGaki fic? Kokoro no Uta felt more like a TakaGaki-central fic, because of their past history together and with Sayu in the mix as well. And yeah, I think this is the longest fic I kept up with too. I sort of like the looseness of the story, I've enjoyed it so far.

(I'm also quite surprised at how much more popular RenAi was than I had expected, according to that poll.)

@kano-chan: ... NO they're singing fake songs XD of course they're singing real songs, what do you mean?? :lol:

@kurosawa87: I WILL keep up the writing :twothumbs

@aussie: well, they're neck and neck but there's still a difference... at the moment, i think there's more takagaki, right? XD and i was surprised by the ReinAi supporters too! :shocked


So I got a shot today which was a pain in the ass (technically, in my right arm) cuz it was painful for me to type :smhid
But I wrote anyway, cuz i know you guys are waiting :D

And I'm so happy to know that this way-too-long fic has kept you guys hooked long enough!
Thank you for your support~ i WILL continue to write on :onioncheer: :kneelbow:

Chapter 96

   “So everything is recorded and the album is being produced now,” Tsunku announced happily.  “Good work, everyone!”

   A short round of applause sounded in the meeting room, along with High-Queen’s grins and their girlfriends’ smiles.

   “So we’re a little less than two weeks away from the special event,” Tsunku continued.  “The Song Fighter program will broadcast live the day before Christmas Eve.  It will be viewed by all of Tokyo, even Japan.”

   “That’s a lot of people,” Risa mumbled, eliciting a giggle from the turtle.

   “So basically, the set-list is this,” the producer confirmed, putting a piece of paper on the table.  “High-Queen will perform ‘Shouganai Yume Oibito’ first.  Tanaka’s solo will be next, followed by Takahashi’s solo.  But there’s just one problem.”

   “What’s that?” Risa asked.

   “It’s a problem that I should solve, but can’t,” Eri sighed in reply to her friend.  “After High-Queen performs their new single, Reina-chan needs time to change costumes.  But this is a live broadcast, so the show has to go on non-stop.  We can’t have a break in between songs…”

   “So that’s why I’ve thought of a possible solution,” Tsunku said, clearing his throat.  “I decided that in between the duo performance and the solo performances, we should have another program.”

   “… But we only have two singers, Tsunku-san,” Risa said, raising an eyebrow.  “And having an MC isn’t a possibility either, since this isn’t a concert; it’s a performance broadcast.”

   “Exactly, it’s a performance broadcast,” the producer agreed.  “So we’re going to have another performance during the break of the costume change.”

   “But we only have two singers—”

   “I’m not talking about Takahashi or Tanaka,” Tsunku interrupted.  “I’m talking about having a special guest that High-Queen fans will be interested enough in.”

   “And who would that be?” the bean questioned.

   “… Well, I heard that you are quite the singer, Niigaki-san…”

   The room fell silent.  Risa’s eyes widened as her mouth popped open.  Eri gasped out loud.  Reina raised an eyebrow in curiosity while her leader’s face remained expressionless.

   “… What are you saying, Tsunku-san?” Risa said in a low voice.

   “Well, considering you composed High-Queen’s last two singles, which were big hits, the fans are actually quite interested in you,” the producer explained.  “They heard that you were an amateur but they love your songs.  And since I’ve been informed that you’re actually a vocalist as well… I thought maybe you could make a special appearance.”

   “No way, uh-uh,” the bean said quickly, shaking her head.  “You just said there will be a lot of people in the crowd, not to mention the rest of Japan.  I can’t sing on stage and I’m not even good enough in the first place.”

   “I’ve heard your sample recordings of High-Queen’s singles, Niigaki-san,” Tsunku said.  “I believe you’re a very competent vocalist.  And didn’t you want to be a singer in the first place?  That’s what I heard—”

   “Who told you that?” Risa yelled while jumping up, almost knocking her chair down in the process.

   She glared at the producer, who looked away without answering.  The bean’s eyes immediately went to her friend, who shook her head.  She then turned to her idol girlfriend, who was keeping up a nonchalant mask.  Risa narrowed her eyes.

   “It was you!” she said through her teeth.  “You’re the culprit!”

   “Now, now, let’s not blame anyone,” Tsunku said, waving his hands.  “I’ve noticed your vocal talents before Takahashi even told me anything, Niigaki-san.  And I want you to be the special guest on High-Queen’s Christmas event.”

   “No, I can’t sing on stage, Tsunku-san,” Risa sighed, shaking her head.  “I really can’t do it.”

   “Well, we already listed you in the program though…”

   “WHAT?” Risa shrilled, her voice climbing up a couple octaves.  “How… wha… HA?”

   “So it would be nice if you just sing one of the songs that you already have written,” Tsunku continued, ignoring the song writer’s reactions.  “Please do this for us, Niigaki-san.  Please do this… for High-queen.”

   Risa bit down on her lips with a worried expression.  She turned to look at the two idols.  Reina was looking at her through narrowed eyes, with a face that said, “just get on the damn stage and sing, you idiot”.  Ai was looking at her with that smile and those eyes that she knew her younger girlfriend couldn’t resist. 

   “… Okay…” the bean mumbled, regretting her decision as soon as she said the word.  “I’ll do it…”

   “Great!” Tsunku exclaimed, clapping his hands together.  “So that issue is settled… Takahashi and Tanaka, prepare the performances immediately with Skye-sensei and Yoshiko-sensei.  Kamei-san, I’ll leave the costumes up to you.  Niigaki-san, please prepare your special performance.  Meeting over.”

   The producer quickly walked out of the room before ha certain staff member could change her mind.  Risa immediately stood up and marched around the table to her girlfriend.  She bumped Reina’s shoulder as she passed by; the yankii was about to say something rude but the bean’s glare immediately zipped her mouth shut. 

   “You!” Risa growled, stabbing a finger at her girlfriend.  “I’m not even sure what to say right now to describe how furious I am!”

   “Stop being such a wimp,” Reina muttered as she walked around the table to her own girlfriend.

   “Be quiet, yankii, this is none of your business!” Risa snarled angrily.

   Reina’s eyes widened at the bean’s attitude.  Eri sighed and shook her head as she put her arm around the younger singer. 

   “Let’s leave before we get involved?” the turtle suggested.  “They’ll figure this out for themselves…”

   “Well I hope your friend doesn’t bite my leader’s head off before she even gets to defend herself,” Reina muttered.

   Eri rolled her eyes as she led her lover out of the room, leaving the older couple behind.  Risa kept both of her hands suspended in air, wanting to hit something but also not wanting to hurt her girlfriend.  Ai just sighed as she grabbed the bean’s wrists.

   “Look,” the leader said, “I asked Tsunku-san to do this so you can get over your stage fright.  I know how much you love to sing, Risa, but your fear is getting in the way.  I want you to sing again, realize what it feels like to perform, and know how that is exactly what I feel when I sing.”

   “… You want me to be a singer?” Risa breathed.

   “Not necessarily,” Ai replied.  “I just want that stage-fright memory of yours out of the way.  Don’t you wish that you can sing and share your voice with other people?”

   “… Sometimes,” Risa admitted.  “But I still can’t do this, Ai-chan.  I’m going to freeze up; I really can’t do something like this!”

   “It’s one song,” the idol insisted.  “And I’ll be watching from behind the curtains.”

   But Risa still wasn’t convinced.  She whimpered a little as though she was about to cry.  She was honestly scared; she didn’t want to go through that terrible experience of freezing up on stage and letting everyone down again.  And she most definitely didn’t want to ruin her girlfriend’s event in any way.  Ai smiled a little as she embraced her lover.

   “Remember what I promised you?” she whispered.  “I’ll be there whenever you need me.  That promise will be valid until the end of time.  Can you trust me on that?”

   “… Yes,” the bean squeaked.

   “Then I want you to please grant my wish and sing,” Ai said.  “I want you to at least try.  Please?”

   “… Okay,” the younger girl sighed.  “I’ll do it… for you.”

   “That’s what I want to hear,” Ai grinned. 

   She slowly leaned into give a kiss but Risa jumped back and covered her mouth with her hands. 

   “Uh-uh, no way!” the bean declared.  “If I’m going to be doing this special performance thing, I’m going to need all my focus on this only!  So you better not do anything to distract me!”

   “… And kissing counts?” Ai asked, raising an eyebrow.

   “Yes.”

   “Making out?”

   “Of course.”

   “How about sex?”

   “Most definitely!” Risa yelled, blushing.

   “… For some reason, I don’t like the idea of you performing anymore,” the leader muttered.

   “Too late!” Risa said, sticking her tongue out.  “There’s always a price for everything!”

   With that, the bean skittered around the table and grabbed her stuff.  Before she could be stopped, Risa dashed out of the meeting room, determined to start producing her song right away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the way, I had all the songs chosen but I recently switched them cuz I found better ones XD

Naww, it's more interest and to figure out what everyone at the supermarket is trying to say to me...since I get mistaken all the time ^^;; and yep, yep! That was for your benefit~

My favorite memory is this, as in the present.  Any moment that I’m with you in time will be my favorite.  As long as you’re with me, everyday will be a wonderful memory.”
lol, Aichan's you're good with words, hehe. :thumbsup and the line after that was mad awesome too~ :w00t:

Ch.96: OMFG~ Risa's gonna sing!?!? Special performance? :D w00t~ lol, at first I thought it might've been her, but I started to doubt myself cuz it said someone that would interest the fans... And I didn't know how much fans would care/be interested in the music composers :roll: well, unless that special guest came out and announced that she's a high queen member's girlfriend :lol:
Quote
   “It was you!” she said through her teeth.  “You’re the culprit!”
hehe, this line totally reminded me of that one naichau kamo music fighter ep where Risa pointed at Aichan and said "Anata da!" XD mhmm, good stuff.
Aww, yeahh stage fright really sucks... but you know what sucks even more? No more cute takagaki kissy moments :P this ish torture I tell you! :o

Morning Musume NINE SMILE - Shouganai Yume Oibito (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myToZqwLDoM#)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 97

   “Is High-Queen ready yet?  We need them on stage right now!  We’re on in two minutes and counting!”

   The Song Fighter producer’s voice echoed down the hall.  Ai and Reina started to run from a steady jog towards the side of the stage, where who knows how many people were gathered to see their performance. 

   They had already finished the talk show segment of the evening, and it was finally time for them to perform.  Risa and Eri were more nervous than the idols themselves, who just rolled their eyes. 

   “We’ll be fine,” Reina mumbled.  “And our costumes are fine too; will you stop touching my skirt now?”

   “But everything has to be perfect!” Eri shrilled, as she continued to fidget with every part of her girlfriend’s outfit.  She got down to her knees and even checked the yankii’s shoes.  She then crawled over to the leader and repeated the same action.

   “Kameha, that’s enough,” Risa sighed.  “They look fine; we should just let them go.”

   “I don’t want to hear that from you,” Eri shot back, standing up.  “The way you’re holding Ai’s hand right now… Shouldn’t you check if her blood
circulation is okay?”

   “But this is for my own benefit, not hers!” Risa yelled.  “And I think I can be a little selfish today, considering what I’m about to do!”

   “Yes, you have that right, now calm down,” the leader laughed, patting her girlfriend’s head.  “We’re all going to be fine tonight, so don’t worry.”

   “One minute!” a voice echoed.

   “Eri, make sure Risa doesn’t get a heart attack while we perform,” Ai grinned, handing off her nervous lover to the turtle.

   “I’ll do that if I don’t get a heart attack first,” Eri breathed.

   “Relax, babe,” Reina laughed.  “We’re pros.”

   “THIRTY SECONDS!”

   Ai walked over to her partner and grinned as the yankii returned the same action.

   “You ready?” the leader asked.

   “Ganbareina!” the yankii replied.

   “And we’re on,” the producer shouted, “in Five… Four… Three… Two… One…”

   “Ganbatte Ikima… SHOI!”

   The two High-Queen members sprung out on stage as the crowd went wild.  They started to scream out the names of the members while waving their multi-colored glow sticks.  At the same moment, there was a tiny TV screen showing this event live on the side of the stage.  Eri and Risa could see the crowd of people blocking off the road in Tokyo to see their favorite idols on the big screen.  Ai raised her hand first.

   “Tokyo no Minna-san, Merry Christmas!” she yelled.

   A deafening roar of cheering exploded from the audience as well as in the middle of Tokyo.  Risa and Eri smiled, both proud of their lovers.

   “Leader Takahashi Ai desu!”

   “Tanaka Reina desu!”

   “Futari wa…” The two idols made eye contact with each other before announcing together.  “HIGH-QUEEN DESU!”

   Another series of applause burst from the crowd.  Everybody had already been hyped up with Christmas spirit, but these two idols just had made everything a thousand times merrier.

   “Without further ado, please listen to our new single,” Ai announced.  “‘Shouganai Yume Oibito’.”

   The instrumental started to flow out of the speakers.  It started out soft at first, but then the guitar line exploded with the spotlights landing on the two idols.  The crowd started to chant in harmony with all their energy.  Risa and Eri’s eyes wandered from the tiny TV screen to their girlfriends on stage.  The leader started off the song.

If I stay with you any longer
You’ll drag me down too
When will this dream of yours
Finally come true?

   “I would’ve never imagined that this song would be sung out in public like this…” the bean thought as she gazed at her lover.  “It shows heartache that I don’t have anymore, but Ai-chan seems to bring it back to life…” 

   The younger idol continued the song.

You’re just like a little child, always sparkling
Doing only what you want to do
The day that I fell for those eyes

   “I guess I get to see Reina-chan’s most honest side when she sings,” Eri thought.  “She’s so much more charismatic and passionate…

The time has flown by
Are you aware of this?
Ah, it’s as though you’re still in school

   The violin line got cut off with small chiming sounds as the song turned into the chorus.

When I watch you sleep
So oblivious to everything
Memories and tears overflow

   “Why did I write such lyrics?” Risa thought, wrinkling her eyebrows.  “Did I think that Ai-chan, who was still chasing her dream somewhere, was looking for something that didn’t exist?

I’ve thought about giving up
So many times
But then I remember your white smile

Hopeless Dream Chaser…

   “Why did I stay in the world of music?” Risa continued to think.  “I couldn’t sing anymore; why couldn’t I keep my hands off the score?

   The song turned into the bridge as the two idols started to dance and drift around the stage.  The crowd’s chanting continued on without fail.  The violin line ended as Ai slowly pulled the mic to her lips again.

When I watch you sleep
So oblivious to everything
Memories and tears overflow

   “Was I jealous?” Risa suddenly thought, her eyes widening.  “Some part of me… was I envious of Ai-chan who could still be singing somewhere while I was stopped in my tracks because of stage fright?  Was that why I called her a Hopeless Dream Chaser…

You’re so oblivious to everything
When I iron your clothes
A tear falls onto my hand

   “That’s it,” Risa realized.  “Even though I was scared, I still wanted to sing.  Even though I wrote such sad lyrics… I wanted to see Ai-chan.  I wanted to continue chasing that dream…

Will this dream of yours
Come true one day?
Will we be able to celebrate together?

   “I want to answer yes… Ai-chan wanted me to answer yes!

Hopeless Dream Chaser…

   “But I don’t care if it’s a dream that doesn’t exist anymore,” Risa thought, putting a hand over her heart.  “Even so… I still…

Even so, I’m still in love with you

   The song turned into the original guitar line again.  Risa started to smile, finally realizing the meaning of her own song.  Ai and Reina continued to dance on stage until they finally went back into the original position they were in when the song started.  The instrumental came to an end, triggering a deafening cheer from the audience and the rest of Tokyo.  Eri started to cheer from the side while clapping.  Ai and Reina smiled as they bowed.  The spotlight turned off as the High-Queen members ran off stage.

   “That was amazing!” Eri whispered excitedly.

   “Thanks, baby,” Reina whispered back, planting a kiss on the turtle’s head.

   “Are you ready?” Ai asked the bean.

   “I’m ready,” Risa smiled confidently.

   “You seem a little different,” the leader said, raising an eyebrow.  “Did something happen?”

   “Yup,” Risa grinned.  She reached up and quickly kissed her girlfriend on the lips.  “You.”

   With that, she ran onto the stage without hesitation.  Reina and Eri watched her go, and left for the dressing room so the yankii could change.  Ai continued to watch her bold girlfriend, her lips stretching into a smile.

   A single spotlight fell on the bean.  The crowd went silent, wondering who this girl was.  Risa took a deep breath, and brought the mic to her lips.

   “Konbanwa,” she greeted.  “I am High-Queen’s song writer, Niigaki Risa.  Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.”

   A wave of murmuring ran through the crowd.  There were a couple groups of people cheering, realizing who she was and applauding her for her works. 

   “Tonight, I hope to entertain you all for the next five minutes with an original song of mine,” Risa continued on steadily.  “Kitte kudasai.  ‘Koe’.”

Quick catch up time!

 :cow:

First thing's first - yay for evil Sayu finally getting some sense knocked into her, along with a beating heart  :lol: I strangely want to demand for more SayuJun moments, because that last one between them was absolute love  :heart:
When Sayu gave Jun hope that they could be together.... O M G  :inlove:
Adorable much?

I can't wait to find out what songs Reina & Ai will be singing!  :w00t:
And Gaki-san's Koe performance is going to EPIC. She pwns the song, and I'm sure the way you're going to write the next song chapter for her is going to be amazing~!  :yep:

And I love how Reina is such a sucker for Eri  :lol: you can get her to do almost anything if it's got to do with her girl  :heart:

And I also love how lustful Ai is, always making the bean blush with her rather crude comments about their sexual endeavours  :lol: TakaGaki moments FTW!

Love them all, love the way the dialogue you write flows and the humorous banter between the couples. I definitely think that's one of your strengths - dialogue!  :thumbsup

As for the voting poll, I voted KameShige... and KameShige only >.< I didn't realise I could've put another vote somewhere.

But can I just say... WHERE THE HELL IS ALL THE KAMESHIGE SUPPORT AT?!

I mean, as much as I love TakaGaki and TanaKame, haven't we had SarangAi write us a pretty epic story about them already? How about a change? Damn, guys.
Oh. And you have like 120+ voters now... probably meaning 120+ people have been following your story. More even, because only registered members can vote and we haven't even counted (more like can't count) those who simply read and don't own an account. That's a s***load of lurkers  XD

If you have an account, leave a comment! Support your writers! We don't want any stories here being discontinued... and I'm sure SarangAi is the type not to discontinue, but I can't say the same for other writers and their stories here on JPH!P >.<

Anyways, that should be enough for now. If I comment any more it's just going to get very fangirly and annoying XD

Thanks for all your updating! These past chapters have been a lot of fun.  :wub:
Looking forward to the next chapter. VERY MUCH SO.  :twothumbs

REINA
田中れいな - 部屋とYシャツと私 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hajgANW1_E#ws)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 98

   The soft instrumental started to flow out into the vast hall.  Risa started to vocalize, which triggered another series of surprised murmurs through the crowd.  After all, who would’ve thought that a song writer could actually sing as well?

It won’t leave my ears
That voice
Why does it sound
So tearful?

   Her heart was beating with every note she sang out.  She still felt a little nervous, but a lot calmer than before.  After all, Risa now knew that this was what she wanted and needed as well.  Ai had been trying to tell her that.

Your voice on the phone
And your voice right next to me… Ah~

   “She’s still a little shaky,” Ai thought as she watched her girlfriend intently.  “But she can make it.  I know she can… Ganbare, Risa!

I try to say
The same words as you
But they don’t sound as bittersweet
As when you say them

   Risa started to remember when she wrote this song.  She had woken up from a dream one night where Ai was looking for her and calling for her.  Risa was right beside her, but in the dream, Ai couldn’t see or hear her.  The older girl’s voice had gotten more and more tearstained, which made the bean wake up crying as though from a nightmare.

You are not someone
Who makes jokes for no reason
Somehow, your rhetorical talk
Is strangely persuasive…

   When Risa told her girlfriend the story behind this song, Ai had asked her why she was singing it now, when they were finally together.  The bean had wondered this herself as well, and had finally come to a conclusion.  No matter what, even if they are apart, Risa wanted to believe that she and Ai would eventually meet again.  This song would be a reminder to keep a happy voice for the one she loves.

My father
Said the same kind of thing

That something is different…

   Risa finished her first chorus and looked up during the instrumental.  She suddenly snapped out of the trance she was in while singing, and realized she was standing in front of a crowd.  Her memories swam back into the fact that the rest of Tokyo was watching her as well. 

   Subconsciously, Risa started to wander off-stage, her eyes wide from fear.  But she soon changed her mind, deciding this event was too important for her to ruin.  The interlude was about to end so she pressed the mic to her lips again… but she knew no sound was going to come out.  Risa started to panic.  Suddenly, a warm voice started to fill the hall, and the bean knew it wasn’t her voice.

No matter what time it is
I’ll be awake
So please let me hear your voice
Since you promised me

   Ai sang out as she walked out onto the stage, eliciting a loud cheer.  Risa’s eyes widened as she started to smile.  She had come!  Just like she had promised, Ai had come for her when she needed help.  Risa grinned as she met her girlfriend’s smiling face.  She finally brought the mic to her lips again and started to sing out, regenerated from this new courage that her lover had given her.

Sometimes I eventually
Fell asleep again
And I worried you instead
I’m sorry…

   The two girls made eye contact and smiled as they started to sing together.  It was something new, but it still felt nostalgic in a way.  It had been a long time since they had sung together like this… and it had been a much anticipated dream.

All those mornings
When I woke up to your messages

   “I love her so much…” Risa thought.  “I love you…

I truly felt your love…

   The instrumental started to play again as the two girls started to walk towards opposite ends of the stage.  Ai looked back at her girlfriend, proud and grateful for what she had done.  Risa continued to vocalize, determined to finish off the song with all she had.  The song finally reached its conclusion.  An explosion of cheering and applauding resonated in the large hall.  Ai grinned from ear to ear as Risa breathed out in relief.

   “Domo arigatou gozaimashita,” the younger girl said.

   The spotlight’s clicked off after the two girls bowed to the audience.  Then, they quickly ran off the stage to meet their two friends; Reina was already changed.

   “That was amazing!” Eri whispered.  “But why was Ai-chan on stage?”

   “I couldn’t leave my girl hanging,” the leader joked, shrugging.

   “I love you so much!” Risa cried out, embracing her lover.  There were so many other things she wanted to say, but that was the only line she could remember at the moment.

   “Yeah, yeah, you guys can make out in the dressing room,” the yankii grumbled.  “Go change, Ai.”

   “Yeah, I should do that,” the leader nodded.  “Break a leg, Reina.”

   With that, the High-Queen leader and the bean disappeared off the stage.  Reina turned to her girlfriend and spoke in a quick whisper.

   “No matter what, don’t take your eyes off me!”

   “I wasn’t planning on it,” Eri grinned.

   The yankii smiled as she planted a quick kiss on the turtle’s forehead.  “And no matter what, don’t make fun of me after this song!”

   With that, Reina quickly ran onto the stage, triggering another loud cheer.  She placed herself in the center of the stage and spoke into her microphone.

   “This is a song that doesn’t fit quite well with my usual image,” the yankii’s voice echoed.  “But just for tonight… I hope to show a different side of me, as a girl.  Kite gudasai: ‘Heya to Y Shirts to Watashi’.”

   A cute, three-beat instrumental started to flow out through the speakers.  The crowd immediately caught the rhythm and started to clap according to it.  Eri’s eyes widened a little.  This song was… too cute, wasn’t it?  Reina wouldn’t sing something like this…

I have something to ask you
I, the one who decided to take your name
If I’m truly important to you
I want you to listen carefully

   “It’s so girly!” Eri yelled in her mind, blushing a little.  “Wasn’t I always the dependent one?

If you come home drunk
You can be hung over for two days
But if you’re still drunk the next night
Don’t go to your parents’ house because you’re afraid to face me

   “I’ve never seen this side of Reina-chan before…” Eri thought.  “Normally, I’d be the one saying these kinds of things… so why is she singing this?

Our room, your white shirt, and me
I want to keep them in good shape
For you, the one I love

   “Could it be how she truly feels sometimes?” Eri continued to think.  “I can’t really imagine Reina-chan saying any of this to me.  But… I guess she just feels like a normal girl in love too…

So buy my clothes sometimes
I will become beautiful
For you, the one I love

   “Liar,” Eri thought, smiling to herself.  “Even when I pick out clothes for you, you’re the one who pays for them in the end…

Don’t you lie to me
A woman’s intuition is sharp
When you lie to me
You raise your right eyebrow

   “That’s not woman’s intuition; that’s just Reina-chan knowing me too well,” the turtle thought, giggling.

If you cheat on me
You better be careful when you eat at home
I’ll rack my brains and think hard
And get back at you with poisoned soup

   “How am I supposed to react to that?” Eri wondered, wrinkling her eyebrows.  “Should I be happy that she wants me for herself or should I be kind of scared?

Our room, your white shirt, and me
I want to keep them in good shape
For you, the one I love

   “I kind of like this side of Reina-chan too,” Eri smiled.  “Normally, she would seem like the bigger and the stronger one… But she gets shy sometimes too, right?

So on the anniversary of my life
Tell me that I’m beautiful
And please let me feel that way

   “I love her,” Eri thought, closing her eyes.  “I love that she can sing out her true feelings out to the world like that… true feelings towards me.  I love you…

   The steady instrumental came to an end.  A loud cheering exploded from the audience. 

   “Arigatou gozaimashita!” Reina said.  She bowed as the lights blacked out.  She quickly ran off the stage, right into the turtle’s arms.

   “That was so cute, Reina-chan!” Eri squealed.

   “I told you not to make fun of me…” the yankii grumbled.  But she didn’t refuse her girlfriend’s embrace.

   “So you’re not always the bigger person, huh?” Eri smirked.  “Because that was quite a submissively girly song.”

   “I’ll be the bigger person until you grow up, baby,” Reina grinned, kissing her lover. 

   “You know, Kameha is older than you,” a familiar voice said.

   The young couple turned around to see the leader and her girlfriend walking towards them.  Ai was changed into a different costume.

   “I know that,” Reina answered.  “But I was speaking on a mental term.”

   “Hey!” the turtle complained.

   “Yeah, okay, you guys,” Ai laughed.  “Do me a favor and save the argument for later?”

   “Will do,” the yankii grinned.  “Show them what you got, leader.”

   “Good luck, Ai-chan,” Risa smiled.

   “Listen to every word and every note,” Ai reminded, before leaving a kiss on her younger girlfriend’s lips.

   She walked out onto the stage as the spotlights returned.  The crowd went wild, eager to see the leader of their favorite idol group.  Her three friends could see the rest of Tokyo in the tiny TV screen, cheering as well.  Ai brought the microphone to her lips.

   “This is an original song that I wrote for a good friend of mine,” she said.

   “A very good friend,” Eri giggled quietly, making the bean blush.

   “Kite gudasai,” Ai said.  “‘Ai Bun no Yuki Kakeru Anata Dainari IKOORU Suki’, douzo.”


***That's Yuki/Ai x Anata ≥ Suki. I wrote out the pronounciation for effect(?)***

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The poll will decide whenever it closes  :)
But it seems like TakaGaki is winning at the moment...

But can I just say... WHERE THE HELL IS ALL THE KAMESHIGE SUPPORT AT?!

I mean, as much as I love TakaGaki and TanaKame, haven't we had SarangAi write us a pretty epic story about them already? How about a change? Damn, guys.

I just gotta say this... lol-> RIGHT ON~!  :twothumbs not that I don't like Takagaki and Tanakame either, but a change is good  :thumbsup but keep Takagaki in there for sure though :roll: hehe

WOAH~ Am I seeing things right? Tanakame is beating out Takagaki right now?  :shocked I am quite shocked!! :O I thought there's usually more Kameshige supporters... lol, maybe your fic convinced some of them to jump ships, SarangAi  :lol:

OMG~~ AGHHHH! I am so behind in reading :( I told myself to keep up...but then I failed  :smhid
Sorry for the lame comment~ I will continue this sometime later when I wake up... and finish reading everything cuz my brain has stopped functioning right now... so sleepy... XD

Come on TanaKame!! If it can't be RenAi at least let it be TanaKame  XD Everywhere I go it's only TakaGaki stories that still seem to be active now.


I always found that Heya to Y-shirts to Watashi song a little creepy. A little too possessive :nervous
2 chapters to go. I didn't expect you to hold up to that 100 chapters suggestion, but hey, I'm not complaining :D


EDIT: I never figured out how to read that Yuki/Ai x Anata ≥ Suki song  XD
I know it's on their winter-themed mini album they released in late 2006, but I never actually heard the song. The only song I heard from that album was Reina's solo, Kira Kira Fuyu no Shiny G, as this was before I really got into MM.

Chapter 99

   The soft music started to play out into the hall, and into the rest of Tokyo through the big screen TV.  Eri squealed excitedly, eager to listen to the leader’s song again.  Reina grinned, thinking of how her leader was going to blow away Tokyo.  Risa watched her lover intently, determined to not miss a single note.

Love
The wind isn’t blowing at all
There are no clouds in the starry sky
Ah, I wanted to be babied by you a little
So I grabbed your arm

   “She really does do that sometimes…” Risa thought, smiling at the memory when Ai had begged her to make breakfast.  “She isn’t always the mature one, which is okay with me.

Love
But the air is still pretty cold
And my breath is white
Which temple are you going to on New Year’s?
I’m thinking about next year

   “She’s always been thinking of the future, hasn’t she?” Risa thought.  “Always scared that I may be angry at her…  But she doesn’t need to do that anymore.  One thing I’m sure about the future, is that we’re going to be together.

Our hands are together
Inside your jacket pocket
Am I the only one
Who is truly happy?

   “That’s not true, and she knows it!” Risa yelled inside her head, blushing.  “What she just sang is supposed to be my line.  She’s so good at hiding her emotions, sometimes I feel so immature…

Snow divided by love
Times you, the answer is
Greater than or equal to like
I like you

   “Is she comparing our loves for each other?” Risa thought.  “She can’t decide whether my love is greater than or equal to hers…

   The interlude started to play out with a guitar solo line.  Ai walked over to the steps and started to climb it in a zigzag motion.  Her smile alone made Risa’s heart beat faster; after all, she knew that Ai was singing for her and her only right now.

Snow divided by love
Times you, the answer is
Greater than or equal to like
I like you

It’s up to me to choose
Love’s direction
With this loving heart
Let’s always stay together

   “And we’ll never let go,” Risa thought to herself, smiling.  “I’ll love you and you only…

   The original instrumental started to play out, as the leader started to climb more stairs.  She finally disappeared behind the curtains, but then reappeared to wave at the crowd.  The audience went wild with cheering, as did the rest of Tokyo on live TV.  The spotlights finally turned off, and the scene was reverted back to the Song Fighter MCs, indicating the end of the event.

   Risa turned around just in time to see Ai running towards her; she had climbed too many stairs and went off stage at the wrong exit.  As soon as their eyes met, the younger girl jumped into her girlfriend’s arms.  The singer chuckled softly and kissed her head.

   “I love you,” Risa whispered.  “I love you so much.”

   “It seems like that’s all you can say today,” the leader laughed.  “But that’s okay with me.”

   “I really love you…” the bean continued to mumble.

   “You really showed them, Ai,” Reina grinned.  “Check out the TV.”

   The four girls gathered around the small TV screen and watched the mass crowd in the middle of Tokyo, all gathered to watch High-Queen live on the big screen.  The newscaster was interviewing a black-haired girl sitting in a wheel chair.

   “I thought the live was wonderful,” she said with a slight accent.  “I heard about this event so I even came out of the hospital for it… I think it was definitely worth it.”

   “It was alright,” the girl behind the wheel chair grumbled.  “I think Takahashi Ai’s solo could’ve been better.”

   “SAYUMI?” Risa shrilled as Eri shrilled the name of the panda in the same pitch.

   “Why must she haunt me even during the holiday season…?” Reina groaned, eliciting a glare from the turtle.

   “And Tanaka Reina’s voice wasn’t right for that song at all,” the bunny continued on TV.

   Reina started to fume.  “Why that little—”

   “That’s not true at all!” a different voice said in the little screen.  “What are you saying, lady?” 

   The camera turned a little to the left, revealing a short, brown-haired girl.  She spoke in a very heavy accent.

   “I thought Tanaka Reina-san’s solo was wonderful!” she insisted.  “Her voice was very well suited for that song!”

   “Linlin…?” Eri gasped.

   “I agree!” a different voice said, a much younger voice.  The camera turned further to the left, revealing a girl in a school uniform.  “Ren-chan’s songs are always great!  Don’t you dare insult her, you pale-skinned lady!”

   “Aika?” Reina mumbled, as Eri started to giggle from the school girl’s attitude at her flustered cousin.

   Before Sayumi could counter back, a loud chanting started in Tokyo.  Before the four girls could figure out what they were saying on TV, the same chanting started in the audience.  They listened carefully and finally realized that they were calling for their favorite idol duo, High-Queen.  Suddenly, the Song Fighter producer ran towards them from the hallway.

   “Girls,” he huffed, “I think the crowd wants an encore.  Since it’s Christmas, Song Fighter can broadcast for a little longer, so that’s not the problem.  But it’s up to you two now.”

   “You mean perform another song?” Risa asked, surprised.  “But they’re tired!”

   “It’s okay, Risa,” Ai said.  “Like Reina said before, we’re pros.  We don’t turn down the audience unless they turn us down first!”

   “Producer-san, please put on our debut song,” Reina grinned.

   “But you don’t even match now!” Eri shrilled as though it was the end of the world.  “Do me a favor and make a quick change?”

   “You girls have two minutes,” the producer warned before running out.

   “That’s more than enough time,” Reina decided.  “And that chanting isn’t stopping any time soon.  Let’s go Ai!”

   “Wait here,” the leader instructed her girlfriend.

   After Eri and the two idols ran out, Risa started to stare into the TV screen again.  She could see little bits of snow starting to fall.  Everything she could see and hear… the moment was overwhelming.  So many people were asking for these two girls; their talent and passion for music had captured them all.  Somewhere, deep inside, Risa started to hope that maybe even she captured a couple hearts tonight.

   The bean’s three friends were back before she knew it; the chanting hadn’t weakened a bit.  After making some last minute costume checks, the two idols smiled at their girlfriends and ran out onto the stage.  The spotlights returned and the crowd cheered.

   “Thank you for the encore!” Ai yelled. 

   “We’ll sing one last song, where High-Queen first started off!” Reina announced.

   “Clap onegaishimasu!” Ai requested.  “‘Diamonds’!”

   A low, bass buzzing tune started to play out quietly.  But soon, the song morphed into bells and chimes.  The audience started to clap along with the two High-Queen members, who were in more than festive spirits.  Risa and Eri grinned from ear to ear as they put their arms around each other, appreciating the fact that they had a best friend to lean on.

I dip my bare feet in the cool spring
And look up at the skyscrapers
All I’m doing is wearing my favorite clothes
There’s nothing wrong with that

   “Thank you, Eri,” Risa suddenly yelled over the music.  “Thank you for all the times you were there for me.”

   “Hey, I was going to say that first!” the turtle pouted, making her friend laugh.

Cruising around town with a golden steering wheel
I’m hooked on having fun
I want to see that scenery
That television can’t show me

**  **  ** 

   “Kamei-senpai,” Linlin whispered, smiling, “Tanaka-san seems very happy right now… I guess that’s because of you.  And I’m sure she’s making you happy as well, right?”

**  **  ** 

The moment the needle drops
The way my heart beats burns into my mind

**  **  ** 

   “Keep singing, Ren-chan,” Aika spoke under her breath, grinning.  “Don’t ever let the past hold you back again.  Always keep your chin up!

**  **  ** 

It’s a wonderful collection
I want to keep adding on to it

**  **  ** 

   “They really are amazing, aren’t they?” Junjun breathed, rubbing her hands together.  “They just irradiate light so naturally.”

   “It’s the costumes, Junjun,” Sayumi grumbled.  “I still like your piano better.”

   “I won’t argue with that thought of yours, then,” the panda laughed.

**  **  ** 

Whether I’m sleepy, or whether I’m hated
Or whether I get old, I still can’t stop!

   “Thank you, Reina, for being here,” Ai thought to herself.

   “Thank you, Ai, for always being there,” Reina thought.

They are diamonds
Ah, Ah, all these various scenes
Ah, ah, I can’t put it into words
But they are still treasures

   “Every memory is a treasure,” Risa thought, smiling.  “Everything that’s happened, no matter how happy or how sad, are all precious in the end.

That premonition I had before
Ah, Ah, it was all real
Ah, the thing that is driving me right now
Is that feeling

   The scale climbed up into a higher octave.  The excitement rose along with it.

Sometimes, there are nights
Ah, Ah, when I want to go back
Ah, ah, to when I was a child
And didn’t know anything

   “But even as children, we knew so much,” Risa thought.  “We knew exactly what we wanted to be, exactly what we wanted in the future.  Even though I’m all grown up now, I finally realize this…

The premonition I had before
Ah, Ah, that feeling was real
Ah, what’s driving me right now
Are those diamonds

   The instrumental continued on with the chiming bells.  By this time, everybody in the audience as well as Tokyo was all clapping their hands to High-Queen’s debut song.  Eri and Risa smiled as they bobbed up and down to the rhythm.  Ai and Reina danced towards the middle, ending the performance by singing the tune of ‘Diamonds’.

   A deafening roar exploded from the crowd, and from the small TV.  In the midst of the snow and the Christmas lights, everybody was cheering for High-Queen.  Risa and Eri squealed in excitement as they hugged each other.  The two idols stood up straight.

   “Domo arigatou gozaimashita!” Ai yelled.  “Seno…”

   “HIGH-QUEEN DESHITA!”

   Another loud cheer burst out of the audience.  As the idol duo continued to thank the crowd and bid the rest of Tokyo a Merry Christmas, the snow ceased to stop as well as everybody’s smiles. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Diamonds was just something I threw in there without planning for it, cuz the chapter was too short XD

One more chapter to go~~ :twothumbs

so the voting is at a stalemate now... So whenever I check my computer again in a couple minutes, and which ever vote is higher, is getting it :twothumbs

EDIT: I realized the poll just expired... what do I do now... O_O

Chapter 100

   “Are you sure you don’t mind staying here?” Eri asked, uneasy.  “We could still go to the square, if you want…”

   “Eri, I already told you that I don’t mind staying indoors,” Reina laughed, pulling her girlfriend down to the couch next to her.  “If you think it’s too cold out, then it’s too cold out.”

   “Somehow, I really hate it when you do everything my way,” the turtle grumbled.  However, her actions contradicted her words as she tried to pry the yankii’s arms from her sides to place it around her own shoulders.  Reina chuckled as she obliged to her lover’s wishes.

   “Staying like this in your house is okay too,” the singer sighed.  “Just watching TV with a cup of hot cocoa… it’s still kind of romantic.”

   “It’s romantic because we’re together,” Eri giggled at her own cheesy line.  She snuggled closer to the younger girl who rolled her eyes.

   “I think Ai is rubbing off on you,” Reina groaned.

   “Is she now…” Eri wondered, smiling.

   The two girls cuddled together in Eri’s couch, watching the TV that showed the streets of Tokyo, live.  Every store was decorated in red and green lights, along with a giant Christmas tree in the middle of the square.  Suddenly, Reina gasped out loud and started to panic.

   “What time is it?” she quickly asked.

   “Um… 11:55, why?”

   “Then I’m not late yet!”

   Reina slightly pulled away from her girlfriend and started to dig through her jean pockets.  She took out a lighter with one hand and a piece of origami paper that was folded into a heart with the other.  Eri raised an eyebrow.

   “What’s that?” she questioned.

   “Just watch,” Reina grinned. 

   She brought the lighter to the heart and lit it on fire.  The blaze of heat engulfed the entire origami paper.  Eri gasped, worried that her girlfriend may burn herself.  But somewhere along the line, the heart paper burned up and a different piece of paper drifted down into Reina’s other hand with the disappearance of the flames.  The yankii unfolded the paper and held it up for Eri to see.  The turtle squinted and started to read.

   “Tanjoubi Omedetou, Eri…” she mumbled.  Then, she gasped as her eyes widened.  “What day is it today?”

   “It’s three minutes before December 23rd officially ends,” Reina laughed.  “What, did you forget your own birthday?”

   “Well, I’ve been preoccupied with this whole event so…” Eri said, blushing.  “But you knew!  How did you know?”

   “Risa told me,” Reina grinned.  “She more like threatened me; she made it very clear that she will never forgive me if I don’t do something for your birthday.”

   “That’s my Risa-chan,” Eri laughed.  “Well, thank you for remembering, Reina-chan.”

   “Oh, I’m not done yet,” the yankii said.  “Watch.”

   She brought the lighter to the piece of paper again and lit it on fire.  It seemed as though the flames would get bigger but instead, it flicked off at one point as something silver dropped down from Reina’s hand.  Eri gasped as she stared at the silver chain.  Her eyes traveled down to the charm that was dangling at the end.

   “It’s a key!” she exclaimed.

   “And it’s yours, if you want.”

   “A key… for what?”

   “To my home.”

   “The High-Queen dorms?”

   “No, not exactly,” Reina laughed.  “At the beginning of next year, I’m moving out.  I got my own place in a different apartment.  This is the second key to my new place.”

   “It’s like a spare?” Eri asked.

   “No, I have a different spare,” the yankii mumbled.  She looked down a little and started to scratch the back of her neck a little.  “I was thinking… well… it’s my new place but… it could be your place too… if you want.”

   “You mean… live together?”

   “Yeah… I mean… if you want, that is.  I’m sure Risa wouldn’t mind and all… So if you want, it can be your home too.”

   “Reina-chan!”

   As the yankii looked up, she was immediately attacked by her girlfriend who hugged her so tightly, it nearly cut off her air circulation.  Reina laughed and embraced the turtle back. 

   “Yes, I want to be with you!” Eri yelled, laughing.  “I want to see you every single day; I want to be a bigger part of your life!”

   “And I yours,” Reina grinned. 

   At that moment, a loud music started to play from the TV.  A big animated Christmas tree came up on the screen with the words of holiday greetings.  The clock had struck twelve.

   “Merry Christmas Eve, baby,” the younger girl whispered.

   “Merry Christmas Eve, Reina-chan,” Eri murmured back.

   They slowly leaned in closer until their lips met.  They kissed over and over again, more passionately each time, to celebrate a new beginning for the both of them.

**  **  ** 

   “So tell me again why we’re walking the streets of Tokyo at midnight,” Risa stuttered.

   “Because we’ve never had a proper date,” Ai grinned.  “Every single time we try to go out, I always get recognized.”

   “That’s true…” Risa mumbled, remembering the time her girlfriend was discovered twice by the fans at the amusement park.  “So how is today different from any other days?”

   “Because it’s Christmas Eve,” Ai explained, turning to look at her girlfriend walking next to her.  “There are over a hundred couples out tonight, and none of them care enough to spot me.  They’re all too busy looking at their own beautiful lover, like me.”

   “Stop that,” the bean laughed, turning away a little from Ai’s staring. 

   “So let me ask you one thing,” the leader said, her fingers tightly wrapped around her girlfriend’s hand in side her coat pocket.  “Did you enjoy singing tonight?”

   “I would’ve fainted on stage if you didn’t come out then,” Risa laughed, remembering herself freezing up during the interlude.  “But overall, it felt good to sing again.  I mean, I still love it, you know?”

   “But you still don’t want to be a singer?”

   “Not really,” Risa sighed.  “It was my original dream so it might be nice… but I’m happy with who I am right now.  I’m happy writing songs for you and Reina, and I’m happy with making sample recordings only.  I like it enough that I don’t want to leave it behind.”

   “I would’ve really loved to sing with you in public,” Ai sighed, smiling.  “But I guess it’s still your choice.  And I’ll respect it.”

   “Thanks, Ai-chan,” the bean grinned.

   “So, is there anything you want to do in particular tonight?” the idol asked.

   “Not really— no, wait, there is!” the younger girl exclaimed, beaming.  “Come on, I wonder if it’s still open!”

   Before the singer could ask where they were going, Risa pulled her quickly through the streets, trying to avoid crashing into people as much as possible.  Soon, they stopped in front of a brightly lit store; the bean smiled.

   “It’s still open!” she squealed excitedly.  “I guess it’s because it’s a self-serve place!”

   “Where are we?” Ai asked.

   “Come on!”

   Risa pulled her girlfriend into the small store.  It was just one room with various lights flashing around.  The walls were lined up with multiple booths.  The couple could see other people’s feet inside the booth underneath the curtains. 

   “A Purikura place?” Ai gasped.  “I haven’t been to one of these in a really long time…”

   “Remember how you and I don’t have a picture together from when we were little, and I couldn’t remember your face?” Risa smiled.  “Well, I’m never going to let that happen again.”

   The two girls then picked their own booth and slid into the seats.  Risa quickly picked out a Christmas background and some glitters for decorations.

   “Ready?” she asked.

   “Whenever you are,” Ai grinned.

   “Okay, then,” Risa said, putting her hand on top of the green button to take the picture.  “Smile!”

   “Risa!”

   “Huh?”

   The bean turned her head towards the older girl as her hand pressed down on the button.  Her eyes widened as her lips were met with a different warmth, a different softness.  A flash of light exploded, indicating that the picture was taken.  A strip of sticker pictures came out of the slot.  The two girls looked at the purikura and smiled; Risa blushed as she lightly hit her girlfriend’s shoulders as a pay back for her joke, while Ai just laughed.  They were just small pictures, but it had captured all of their love and happiness that would last forever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's it!  Kokoro no Uta has officially come to an end.

I would like to thank all of my readers, lurkers or not.  It was all of you who kept me going all these weeks and months! 
:onioncheer: :kneelbow: :onioncheer: :kneelbow: :onioncheer: :kneelbow: :onioncheer: :kneelbow:

I hope you all enjoyed reading this story as much as I loved writing it.  I didn't expect to have so many readers, considering it was my first fic, but I'm very grateful for all the comments and feedbacks!!!  :farofflook: :nya: :farofflook: :nya: :farofflook: :nya:


As for me, I will most definitely continue writing; it's what I love to do. :wub:

And for the poll results...
As you can all see, TakaGaki and TanaKame are tied.  It was tied like that when the poll got locked (how does that even happen?) :panic: :panic: :panic:

But I believe TanaKame got the deciding vote first before TakaGaki.  And I flipped a coin three times too, and I still got TanaKame so...
...My next fic will feature TanaKame as the main :D :D :D :D :D :D

But TakaGaki will still be there, so please support me!   :)
I'm not sure about what's happening with the other members yet, but I'm brainstorming (which usually doesn't take that long).

But for now, i'm wondering whether I should do a schoolgirl-fic or a fic with all the member's original ages  :nervous

I'm not sure when I'm going to start my new fic, but it could be as early as tomorrow (seriously) :twothumbs

once again, thank you everyone for reading my fic! I hope you all enjoyed it~~~  :on woohoo:

Comment replies time~  :cow:
Ch.97:
But I don’t care if it’s a dream that doesn’t exist anymore,” Risa thought, putting a hand over her heart.  “Even so… I still…
Even so, I’m still in love with you
OMG~! AHHH~~~ You are so darn awesome you know that!?!? :yossi: I LOVED how you tied this song into the fic~ :mon lovelaff: freakin awesomeness~
Quote
“Yup,” Risa grinned.  She reached up and quickly kissed her girlfriend on the lips.  “You.”
soooo cuteee~! hehe, loved this line also :wub: it's squeal worthy~  :twothumbs
Lol, my nerdy side ish kicking in  :smhid so slight correction here...Kite gudasai should be Kiite kudasai lolz

Awesome~ you got a new laptop!? What'dya get? a mac? hehe. Aww, good luck with everything, hopefully life won't be that hectic on you. :) I'm guessing school started/ or is starting soon? cuz my friends that go to NYU flew out there on thursday... lol.
Ch.98:
w00t~ Loved Risa's solo song :mon lovelaff: :mon fyeah: Interesting choice for Reina's song though, I never thought of that one! I was thinking of.. hmm, kira kira fuyu no shiny g. Hehe, you're really good at tying these songs into the chapters~ Mega props for you~  :cow: :twothumbs
My favorite lines of this chapter...
Quote
“Yeah, yeah, you guys can make out in the dressing room,” the yankii grumbled.  “Go change, Ai.”
“I know that,” Reina answered.  “But I was speaking on a mental term.”
oh, on a side note, you should change what I mentioned for ch97 in this chapter too :D

edit:
WAIT OMG!?! WHAT!? you posted the ending already?! While I was typing this? :shocked adshfiulwaeourlsdjf!!

*pat on the back* Congrats on completing your first fic. I enjoyed it very much, I'm looking back and thinking, "it was only 100 chapters long!?!"  XD

Happy ending for all. Reina finally overcame her demons and found her true love, Ai-chan reunited with her lost love, while Sayu has now 'recovered'.
You're officially one of the writers whose stories I'll look forward to and keep tabs on :thumbup Not that that says much, I'm only a lazy reader heh.


(And yay for TanaKame's 'victory'~~)

I'm not sure about what's happening with the other members yet, but I'm brainstorming (which usually doesn't take that long).

Ch.99:
Quote
“Why must she haunt me even during the holiday season…?” Reina groaned, eliciting a glare from the turtle.
 “And Tanaka Reina’s voice wasn’t right for that song at all,” the bunny continued on TV.
...“Ren-chan’s songs are always great!  Don’t you dare insult her, you pale-skinned lady!”
LMFAO! This made me LOL soooo badly that I ended up doing this> :mon lmao: AHAHA, I like how all of them (Linlin, Aika, Sayu, Junjun) just ended up gathered in all in one place and got interviewed. :P
Awww, Aichan's solo song coupled with Gaki's thoughts was soooo cuteee~ :mon inluv: KYAAAA~
OMFG! You just threw Diamonds in there on a whim!?!? Cuz that was mad awesome! :mon beam: YOU'RE REALLY GOOD AT THIS!! And listening to the song while reading everything made me feel super happy and giddy (even though it took like a billion years for the videos to load) :mon lovelaff: it's like an intense wave of happiness just wafted through the room...and everything felt Christmas-y, until I realized that it's not even near winter yet :lol:
Quote
“It’s the costumes, Junjun,” Sayumi grumbled.  “I still like your piano better.”
w00t!!! DANGGG THIS LINE IS EPIC!  :cow:  :wub:

EFFFF!! I died and lost experience points :angry: :temper: sorry I took a gaming interlude cuz people party requested me!
Ch.100:
OMG! I can't believe that it's finally over! :cry: It's so bittersweet... I'm sad, yet happy. lol. That was one heck of a journey! :panic: All the fun, angst, craziness, fluff, oh andsmex :cow: Not to mention that I finally ended up delurking myself after a long time to comment on your fic and realize how fun and awesome it is to comment on things. :mon fyeah:

WOAH~ burning paperz and stuff!? That's some mad skillz Reina has. Awesome magic tricks. XD
Quote
“Yeah… I mean… if you want, that is.  I’m sure Risa wouldn’t mind and all… So if you want, it can be your home too.”
HEY! Tch, who said that Risa wouldn't mind? :roll: lol

Aww, the ending was mega cute~ I'm gonna miss reading this fic.  :cry: It's over now...
:mon blowhorn: To sum up... Kokoro no Uta= FREAKIN` AWESOMELY WRITTEN!! It's sooo perfect cuz it combines little elements of everything~ there's the angst, the drama, the smex, the fluff... and even the song fics! AWESOMENESS IN A PACKAGE! You get the whole deal.  :twothumbs :mon beam: :mon inluv:
Not to mention the super fast updates! That's a bonus~ hehe.  :mon woo:
SarangAi, you are FREAKING AWESOME!  :mon lovelaff::mon thumb:

CONGRADULATIONS! First of all, I'd like to congratulate for coming up and finishing such an awesome story. It's the first story that is over around 50 chapters that I have read every single chapter of.  You really kept me hooked. I am really looking forward to your Tanakamei-based fanfic. You have no idea how happy I am. :shy2:

The last chapter was great. I love how both couples were sweet and spending time together. Despite that fact that we're pretty far away from Christmas, you still brought the winter breeze right into the forum of jphip. :thumbup

Good luck for your new fanfic!

 :otomerika: :yossi: :shakeit: :cow: :lock: :strawberry: :muffin: :taco: :leek: :pepper: :banana:

Whooooooooooooooooooooottttt!!!!!!!!!

First off, congratulations SarangAi on finishing your fic on 100 chapters. That's a quite a remarkable feat for a first time writer.  :bow: (But it's good that your chapters aren't that long, isn't it?  :nervous)

The last two song fics featuring solos from all four of our protagonists were so very lovely  :wub:
I especially loved the moment when Ai came on stage and sung for her panicked lover.  :inlove: Thank you for all the hard work you put into the song chapters. Wonderful. I actually haven't looked into the meaning behind the songs before >.< Do you translate them yourself, or get the translations elsewhere?

Cute, girly song for yankii Reina  :lol: I think she did an awesome job singing it though, and imagining Eri watching her girlfriend sing that and all those thoughts that ran through her mind...  :luvluv2:

Ai-chan solo FTW!  :heart: :heart: :heart:
All for her bean; that was an incredibly heartfelt chapter...

And I love how you brought back all the other minor characters too!  :twothumbs
 :lol: at Aika's retort against Sayu... but awwwwwwwwwww at SayuJun. Before this fic, I had never actually read about these two before  :sweatdrop: but it's safe to say, you've made me a fan!  :thumbsup

The final chapter....

 :mon lovelaff: :mon lovelaff: :mon lovelaff:

Simple yet so DAMN sweet. A very fitting ending to a very competent story.
Cheesy Eri  :wub: + Magician Reina  :wub: = TanaKame =  :wub: :wub: :wub:
TanaKame living together =  :mon bleed2:

*Beecubed is sorry for the emoticon abuse*  XD

And TakaGaki kissy purikura - I get such a sense of innocence between them here. It's as if all the pervs didn't happen >.<
But wow, I didn't expect that was the place Gaki-san was going to drag Ai-chan too. I'm so happy for these two!  :love:

Now, I'm going to step out of fangirl mode and do a bit more critiquing...  :grin:

I think as a writer, you have such great control over the flow of the story and you know how a narrative works. You are quite expressive, and you have a good feel for dialogue. The writing isn't as fleshed out and elaborate as other authors around here who I've read, like Estrea or rndm (just two off the top of my head  XD), but it strangely doesn't take away from the impact of your story.

However, I think this makes everything such a fast-paced read. Not everyone will agree, but personally, I would like for you (in your following stories) to perhaps think about slowing down a bit and focuse more on details - on feelings, moods, the little things... your story sometimes feels quite hurried and moves forward in flurries of events; like one thing happening after the other, talk, talk, talk, and maybe a little bit of delving into emotion every now and then. I'm not saying any of this was boring - in fact, everything you wrote about was interesting and managed to hold my attention. I guess... it's just as somebody who loves language and gets all  :inlove:  seeing it being creatively used etc. etc., I sometimes crave for more of it when I read fanfiction. I know, I'm a total nerd.  :lol:

If you're just writing for fun and don't want to take all this too seriously, then please ignore what I've just suggested. But if you are inclined to improve, then I hope you take what I've said into consideration. My advice may not be all that great, but I'm just giving you all this to ponder over because I'm an extremely passionate reader and would love to see my authors do better and better... all in the name of  :heart:

....

I am still bummed that KameShige lost out so badly.  :banghead:

But TanaKame as main next time should be interesting.  :grin:
I vote for much more angst and grief next time~! Hehe.

Anyways, all in all, I think you've done a fantastic job with this fic. I can totally understand why it has created such a following (look at all those lurkers!!!!  :shocked:), and I'm looking forward to everything else you will be sharing with us in the future.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SARANGAI, FOR SHARING KOKORO NO UTA WITH US!  :heart:

@Ada: every single time you guys put up a comment made me smile too~~ :D thank you! XD

@Beecubed: lol glad to convert you to the SayuJun side :D
and thank you for the critiques, they are much appreciated! I do aspire to be a better writer, not just for fanfics, so thank you for the more critical analysis :thumbsup
If this was a book, I would definitely focus more on the emotions and stuff but since this was a fanfic, I didn't pay too much attention to details :nervous But that's the beauty of writing a fanfic, since everybody knows the character's faces and stuff like that already XD
I guess since this was a fanfic and just a side project aside from school or something like that, i didn't necessarily put too much into it, which is unfortunate cuz i dun have the time to still do that :cry:
But I do and will take your critiques to heart when i write more serious stuff.  Thank you for the feedback~ :twothumbs

All I have to say is... if you DID pay a lot of attention to details... imagine just how good it would've been then...  :nervous

Hey everyone~

So I've been planning out the plot for Chigatte mo Iin da yo! a lot and I realized that for the next couple chapters, there's gonna be a lack of TanaKame, cuz I couldn't think of anything good XD

So instead of leaving you guys with nothing, I decided to write a special perv chapter for Kokoro no Uta!  oh, Nostalgia~  :D

I kinda wrote as the ideas came, so it's not my best writing.  And I still suck at writing pervs.  But I hope it's good enough to satisfy your TanaKame needs :twothumbs

Anyways, here it is!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXTRA: Chapter 101

I read your latest perv at 2am in the morning after a very long and tiring day here in Bangkok... and it sure kept me alert   :w00t:

Wow. You've written up quite a few pervs already, and every single time you come up with a new one, I still find myself feeling rather flustered by the end of it  :oops:

Damn, that was HOT

:mon bleed2:

What I particularly enjoyed about this extra chapter was apart from the smexy smex, it had very nice, sweet moments. Like that ending bit. Gawd, so cute.  :heart:

I've said it before, TanaKame isn't really one of my more loved pairings, but you write them so well. Especially with Kokoro no Uta  :wub:

Physically demanding Reina + I-can't-help-it Eri = smoking hot combination  :mon crazyinlove:

It was a very well-described perv too. Yummmmmmmy.

Thank you for this, sarangai! Now you have to write a TakaGaki one to even it out!  :lol:

 :shock: TanaKame perv!!!
Reina is such a naughty girl with the  poor and romantic Eri  :smhid  But I still love her!!! :inlove: She's the best!!

I'm so happy you have updated a special chapter, the other time I said that I will start to read Chigatte Mo Iin Dayo, demo I haven't make the time to do it. Sorry!

The next week my holidays begin so I hope I can start the fic.

This was great! You're really good writing perv too!! :mon thumb: So don't say you don't  :twothumbs

I've just finished read your story.. read this story from my friend recommendation, and hell yeahh i'ts a very good story !

At first you shocked me with making those trailer ! It's show me how much your effort in making this fanfic and that's really pumping my curiousness against your story.. (well I don't know If making trailer for fanfic is a common thing or not since Kokoro no Uta is just the second fanfic I read, I'm newbie in this field.. XD)

I'm reading all the story strictly 4 days,  just can't help myself to knowing what will happen next in the story, I read it from morning till night till morning again and till night again.. and even when I close my eyes to go to sleep, I'm still thinking "what will happen next?? what will happen next?? what will happen next??" lol XD
though I lose a little interest at the middle of the story, but you pull me straight back with Sayumi's evilness there.. XD


one of my most fav part is in chapter 40
Quote from: SarangAi
   “Reina, it’s very obvious what’s going on,” Ai said, rolling her eyes.  “It’s just the two protagonists who don’t get it.”

   “Can’t you just speak regular human language for once?” Reina growled.

   “You like Eri,” Ai explained.  “I don’t know how she feels about you, but you really like her.”

   “I do not,” the yankii denied.  She felt her cheeks getting hotter; was it anger?

   “Yes, you do,” Ai contradicted, smiling.  “You don’t realize it but you do feel that way.  So tell me, how did it feel when she was watching you dance?”

   “Annoyed,” Reina grumbled, crossing her arms and glaring at her leader.

   “Paranoia,” Ai concluded.  “You get self-conscious when she’s watching you.  And how did it feel when she showed concern for you?”

   “…Annoyed,” Reina answered again.

   “Embarrassment,” Ai explained.  “You feel humiliation when you make a mistake in front of her.  And how did it feel when she treated your wound?”

   “…Annoyed…”

   “Nervousness,” Ai decided.  “You feel anxious when she touches you.”

   “I never knew there were so many types of ‘annoyed’, Ai,” Reina said through her teeth.

   “You just have limited vocabulary and common sense to know your own feelings,” Ai said with a smug smile.  “So I took the liberty of translating.  Admit it; I’m right.”
Imagining how cute confused Reina's face while lecturing by the mature Aichan about love is so sweet~~~ (http://www.laymark.com/i/m/m016.gif) (http://www.laymark.com)(http://www.laymark.com/i/m/m016.gif) (http://www.laymark.com)

Im recently reading your other fanfic(you know that already know) but i would like to pay respects to this one. It was amazingggg~ And my favorite Fanfiction of all time. I've literally read this about 3 or 4 times and now some dialogue. Smh. AND im pretty sure by next month i'll be rereading this story all over again xD I love it JUST that much! It was perfect down to the last detail.

Finally finished this story!  :cathappy:
It was awesome! I only wish it had more SayuJun or a perv for them... is that wrong? I feel selfish for even wishing that...
My favorite part of the whole story was when JunJun saved Sayumi~ wow, that scene was so well written and I almost cried!!!  I am glad Sayu might finally give her a chance~ Makes me glad in the other fanfic they are together even though their characters are totally different, which is also cool.. They may be my new favorite pairing ^^;
Anyway, I really loved this story! I am trying to get the songs together for it and make a mix so I can relive it on my iphone ^^;;

Keep up the great work!!!!

Thank you very much for your wonderful story  :D You're a very genius writer.  :bow: I really love your story

Your story is the first english fiction for me. Actually when I read some english thing I always become sleepy  :nervous (cause it's not my first language) but your fic make me want to read more and more, I can't stop reading until the end. And your fic become inspiration for me to read more fic even though in english.

So I want to say THANK YOU to you and please keep writing more amazing story.  :thumbsup

just finished re reading this after about two years of having first read it lol I remembered some of it like the Halloween party and the song writing but what I looked forward to the most was the junsayu. lmao I wish there was more of that.

because takagaki and tanakame are pretty much canon I looked forward to the junsayu moments and developments. kinda like those animes you watch cause theres yuri subtext and you watch every single episode in hopes that some of the yuri moments will pop up lmao 

I loved all the TakaGaki and TanaGame but what I'm trying to say is that the JunSayu was refreshing. Heck, I even hoped LinEri would have lasted a little longer lmao

anyway overall this fic is one of my favorites. I might re read it again in the future. Great Job!
