Title: strawb3rrykream's notebook (Aki Urara - updated 8/17)
Post by: strawb3rrykream on May 07, 2008, 03:34:20 AM
I've been reading fics for so long that I've been roped into writing my own. :lol: I'm pretty new at this and am not that great. I accept constructive critism! Comments are  :heart:
This thread will be for shorts and one shots. If I ever decide to write anything longer, it'll be in a separate thread. :)
..................

Exhilarating

     “So how do you like being leader?”, Miki asked Ai as they walked to a café for lunch.
“It’s hard but I’m getting used to it”, the current leader replied as they were seated. “I really want to apologize again for putting you in this crappy position, it was really selfish of me”, the older girl said somberly as she grasped her friend’s hand. “I was upset at first, but now I realized it’s good for me”, the younger smiled, “I need to become more mature and take charge”. “Good then”, Miki smiled and they received their drinks.
    “I’ve been meaning to ask you”, Ai began, “What’s it like to have a boyfriend you keep from everyone?” “It’s exhilarating, but tiring”, the former leader replied, “It’s a lot of work but I really love him”. The two began to eat their meals that just came. As they ate, the conversation became more and more intimate. “So do you have anyone in mind for a lover?”, Miki giggled. The younger of the two became really quiet and wouldn’t make eye contact. “Ooh, so there is someone”, the GAM co-star cooed, “so who is it?”
Ai once again ignored her and picked at her food. “Tell me, damn it!”, Miki growled as she got up and forced Ai to look at her. “Miki…”, the leader began. “What??”, Miki asked. “That’s my answer…”, Ai whispered, bowing her head in shame. The older thought for a second and then tipped Ai’s head up with her finger. Then she pressed her lips against Ai’s. The unsuspecting girl opened her eyes in shock to find Miki’s face smack in front of hers. Ai found herself pulled up from her seat and dragged into the bathroom.
    Miki locked the handicapped bathroom door as Ai sucked her neck. She moaned quietly and ran her fingers through Ai’s cropped hair. “Are you ok with this?”, Ai questioned, finally removing her lips from the tender, soft flesh. “I’m sure Tomo-chan won’t mind sharing me”, Miki cooed as she pressed her mouth over her new lover. Their tongues began twisting around each other in a feverish dance. They broke apart as Ai pulled her lover’s shirt over her head and started on the bra. Miki followed in suit, having Ai-chan completely nude from the waist up within seconds. “Wow, you’re fast”, the younger breathed as she finished removing the bra and threw it in the pile of discarded items. “Egao yes nudo indeed”, Miki growled as she began to work on two certain lumps on her playmate’s chest.
    Not long after, both girls were completely naked. Ai soon found herself pushed against the wall. She had her eyes closed as her partner brushed her fingers along a certain sensitive area. She moaned huskily and arched her hips forward. “Wow, Ai-chan, you really can be sexy”, the older smiled as she moved her fingers closer and closer to the prize.
   Nearly 10 minutes later, both girls sat on the tiled floor, panting. “Well, shit. I have never seen you, Miss Ai, so insane”, Miki gasped as she rested her head on Ai’s shoulder. The younger simply sat there. “That could not have been your first time”, she continued, chuckling to herself. “Ok, I can admit me and Gaki have had a little fun…”, The current leader sighed. “I KNEW IT!!”, Miki cried out, laughing, “But my real question is how was this?” Ai smirked and cupped her hand to Miki’s ear.

“Exhilarating”, she whispered.

Um, thanks! For some reason, the thought of them as a couple fascinates me. I mean, I love Takagaki as much as the next person but something about these two is just.....interesting. They seem to have completely opposite personalities but can fit together so well.
I just realized how...fitting my last sentence is to the story. XD

Forgiveness: Part 1/2

Quietly, I watch you sleep. Our sleepovers are not so frequent now. But I miss this. You, sleeping soundly and me, watching over you.

We’ve been best friends since the beginning but I haven’t held up my end of the bargain. You’ve been nothing but supportive in my time of need. And I’ve selfishly taken it all and have succeeded in both neglecting you and pushing you away.

 Now, you have her. Goofy and adorable. Just like you.

I’m not afraid to say that I’m jealous. Because I am. How I wish it was me with you in those MouTube videos. Me by your side on that radio show.

It’s like they say, you never appreciate something until you can’t have it. Until she’s laughing with someone else. Until she’s having a great time and you can’t stand it because it’s with her.

Not that she’s a bad person because of it. She’s a great girl. I love her too. But not like I love you.

You stir and I freeze. I’d hate for you to see me like this. It’ll just make you more concerned about my well-being. When it should be the other way around.

You settle and I relax again. I reach out and stroke your hair softly. I long to make it up to you. To show you that I really do appreciate all that you do for me.  I really do miss you. I want to make you love me again.

Risa-chan, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for hurting you. I’m sorry for making you doubt what a wonderful friend you are. Yes, I know about your nights of crying and self-hatred. You did nothing wrong. You’re perfect. You’re the reason I made this far. You’re my rock. My one and only.

“Ai-chan, what are you doing?”, you ask, squinting at my profile. “Nothing”, I reply, turning toward you and smiling. I lie down next to you and hold you gently. You snuggle into my arms and resume your sleeping. I breathe in the sweet scent of your shampoo and smile.

My Risa, always and forever.

...................................

Forgiveness: Part 2/2

I feel your eyes intently watching me as I “sleep”. Our first sleepover in a long time. I have longed for this. For us to spend some time together, just us.

Best friends until the end, right? That is our forever policy. When you became leader, I tried my hardest to give you extra love and time to relax. You thanked me each time but seemed to spend it alone, rather than with me. I tried to let it go and tell myself you were just too stressed.

Since you’ve been busy, I made a new close friend. She’s hilarious and caring.

But she’s not you. No way could she ever replace you.

At our concerts lately, though, you’ve gotten tons of affection from everyone. Shocking as Mikitty isn’t in the group anymore. But all the hugs and kisses and smiles make me feel strange. Like I wish it was me instead of them. Me making you laugh and grin playfully.

My leg begins to itch and I have no choice but to move a little. I can feel your body stiffen. You must be nervous about watching me. I can’t see why you would be. I know you do it all the time. Or at least you used to.

I stop moving and your body loosens. I feel your hand on my hair. You stroke it tenderly as if to reassure me. That everything will be okay and that you’ll always be here. It comforts me and makes me feel at home again. Because you are my home.

Ai-chan, I forgive you. It’s okay that you ignored me and kept your feelings inside. I am, however, a bit peeved with a certain bunny. She let it slip that I was so hurt that I cried myself to sleep. That I asked myself over and over what I had done. Why you blocked yourself in and left me out in the cold. I can see that you are scared and it’s okay. You can be leader and be afraid. But let me help you. I love you and always will. You are my everything.

“Ai-chan, what are you doing?”, I mumble, breaking my fake-sleep silence. I look at you and you are spacing out as usual. Or maybe just thinking deeply. “Nothing”, you respond, turning towards me. You smile and I feel warm inside. That smile is what I live for. You lie down and pull me gently into your arms. I get comfy and close my eyes, taking in the feeling of your smooth skin. You bury your head in my hair and inhale. I used this shampoo for you because I know you love the aroma. I know we’re both smiling now.

My Ai, always and forever.

 I love your stories! They evoke so much emotion in just a few paragraphs. They are sweet and angsty at the same time.

  I like them a lot.

 It's kinda like what I am doing. THough I have made a few pretty long shorts :)
 I hope you keep it up.

 1st one :nosebleed:
 2nd one "awwwww" :'(
 3rd one "awwwwwwwww" they are so sweet.
 
 At first  I thought it was Aya and Miki and Yoshi was the other one although the profile screamed Makoto for some weird reason..... I thought that was it and then read Risa so immediately thought Ai! And for the third I thought Reina or Sayu or another 6 gen (aka Eri) and yey I was right!

  I hope you keep it up and I loved them. You might've even inspired me a little. Everytime I read a good fic I feel like writing one so..... yeah. I might have something new up soon.

 lol, I see yuuyami got to you too!XD With the column break or whatever it was called XD. N offence or pun intended, but the first one looks a whole lot diferent from the nex one etc.

 mwah, keep up the great work!

I agree with sweety. I love your writing style.


Ai and Miki in the first one was a shocker. Kinda intreagued by it though. I wonder if anyone else will pick that couple up......

Ai and Risa is so sweet :wub: I've gone all coy from reading that...that's how good your writing is.

I can't wait for the next story :D

Thanks for the comments! I really appreciate it! I'm glad people like my writing style. I've been told I'm good but I can't seem to do well on school essays! Yeah, I think I like angst! It's just too fun to write!  :lol: I'm really glad you all enjoy my stories!  :love:
I have a kind of stock of stories I've written that I will be posting. But you'll have to wait at least a day for another. Why? Because it feels weird that I add a story everyday. No one else on the forum really does that! I feel like I check this thread too much! So, please be patient and I will probably add something tomorrow!
MATA NEE! 8)

Count on Me: Part 1/4

That night, there was a big storm. The rain pounded on the windows, but a fist on the door.

Something in my heart told me it would be you.

And there you stood, soaking wet. Not only by rain but tears as well. I asked no questions, just let you in. You removed your shoes and collapsed onto the floor. Sobbing, you reached for me, looking up at me with pink-rimmed eyes. I held you tightly, my clothes becoming soaked.

We sat there for hours, not speaking. Just embracing. Your cries gradually slowed, your breath calmed. I rubbed your back and whispered words of comfort. You looked at my face and I knew it was time to talk about what had happened. But first, I cleaned you up.

30 minutes later, we sat tucked in my bed. Both of us were freshly bathed and wore warm pajamas.  I quietly waited for you to begin. Taking a breath, you began your story.

I knew it was her fault.

You had caught her with none other than her best friend. All you wanted was some time with her and this is what you got. Your girlfriend straddling another, kissing her furiously, running her hands through jet-black hair. You said all you could do was stare. Your heart broke right before your eyes. She tried to follow you as you left, telling you it wasn’t what it appeared. She warned you not to go out in this weather. You ignored it all, pretending that this one girl, who was once your life, did not exist. That her voice was nothing but a draft from outside.

As you spoke, I could feel my heart shatter. She promised that she’d care for you. That you would always be loved and appreciated. She said she’d never hurt you. But I was a fool to believe that lie. She just used you for her own selfish needs. Capturing your fragile heart in the process. It was my fault you were hurt so badly.

You were crying again. Tears streamed down your creamy skin as you told of your heartbreak. I pulled you into an embrace and buried my head in your shoulder. Tears emerged from my eyes as you clung to me, like a small child.

“It hurts so bad”, you whispered. “I know”, I replied. Yes, I knew how it felt. As soon as I discovered your relationship. The scraping at every ounce of being, the feeling of inadequacy. I knew the feeling well. I would never let you know about the way you made me feel.

You were the one in need. Our relationship ensures that I will be there. No matter what, you can come to me. And it is 100% true. I will always be here to smile and ease away the pain. I honestly want to be the one you looked to for comfort at any cost. The one who holds you, kisses you and makes you feel loved. Maybe I am but not in the way I’d like.

But no matter, this is my true job. To pick up the pieces.

Post by: JFC on May 11, 2008, 07:51:46 AM
Yeah, my guess was pretty much the same as the one already given:
Narrator - Aichan
Crying Girl - Risa
CG's GF - Eri
The "other" girl - Sayu


Also came up with an alternate version for some reason. :P
Narrator - Aya
Crying Girl - Miki
CG's GF - Yossi
The "other" girl - Rika (I know her hair's not currently jet-black, but hey, we could always say this happened at a time when it was.)
;D

Post by: peti-chan on May 11, 2008, 09:40:52 AM

;D
My original thought was the same people as that but different order :P
Narrator - Rika
Crying Girl - Yossy
CG's GF - Miki
The "other" girl - Aya

Surprisingly, i didn't even think of Risa, Ai, Sayu, Eri till it was mentioned :lol:
Title: Re: strawb3rrykream's notebook
Post by: sweeety on May 11, 2008, 01:55:53 PM
First I thought
narrator:Aya
Crying girl: Miki
Cheater: Yoshi
Other girl: Rika or Mako or basically anyone with black hair cause she could totally get them in bed

now thinking
Narrator: Makoto
Crying Girl: Yoshi
CG's GF who cheated: Miki
GF's Best friend who helped GF cheat: Aya

 cause Aya has black hair and is undeniably her BF. I first thought they were Aya Miki cause of the "I cleaned her up" thing and how they bathed/showered together but in that situation I guess she wouldve done anything.

 I thought of the second one because of the black hair, best friend clue, and I realised this love was very unrequited, so Yoshi if its Miki that cheated and as the one with the unrequited love Makoto as she seems to have unrequited feelings for Yoshi, even in real life.

 I liked it a lot. It was sweet and touching, and I loved it. Nice to see lollipopgirl is back from her drunkeness lol, hope she's feeling ok.

Hmm... I wanna know who it is. Obviously both of the 'groups' of people that were mentioned were possibilities.

I'm kinda hoping that it's the Risa, Ai, Eri and Sayumi group just because I like reading stories about them. Even if they are sad, as in this case.

Don't keep us waiting much longer (although I'm gonna have to wait until I get home from work before I find out - 13 hours woo~)

We all want to know so badly!

.....I'm such a softie. :sweatdrop:
Before more people complain, I'll tell you guys.
The people are:
The narrator-Aichan
The crying girl-Gaki
The cheating girlfriend-Eri
The best friend-Sayu

Good job to takagakifan, ringo-hime, JFC and peti-chan! Your prize is....a hug! *hugs all* You guys are just too good for me!
Pat on the back for everyone else who guessed! *pats everyone* Nice guesses!
Actually, the whole GAM/Ishiyoshi thing is interesting. Maybe I'll write something for all of them.

Here's part 2!

................................

Count on Me: Part 2/4

I knew it was wrong. But I did it anyway.

She was being flirty as usual. Begging me to hang out. She said I’ve been spending too much time with you. That I was ignoring my friends for a fling. I got mad at her for that. I told her you weren’t a fling. I really love you and we were meant for each other.

She said she found something cool. Me, being curious, followed her as she led me to a dressing room. It was Miki’s old one. I was afraid of what she found. She opened a drawer and produced an unopened bottle of vodka. Giggling, she opened it and took a swig. I warned her we shouldn’t but she poured it into my mouth, making me choke. I coughed and then immediately wanted some more.

We drank nearly the whole bottle and were giggling like mad. We were dancing around, singing at the top of our lungs. Not worrying about getting caught, as no one was really there. We finally made it back to my own room and sat on the couch, out of breath.

Suddenly, she turned to me and kissed me. Her lips were soft and tasted like strawberry. She shoved her tongue into my mouth. My eyes were wide with shock, but I didn’t stop her. She rubbed my back and I pushed her down onto the cushions. She clearly didn’t expect me to react this way, but she was pleased. I climbed onto her and crushed my lips against hers.

She suddenly let out a sharp gasp and sat up, staring at the door. I turned around and saw what I was afraid of. You, standing there with your mouth hanging open. Reaction queen style, though this was not amusing in the slightest. I got up immediately and rushed to your side. But you walked out as soon as I began moving.

“I swear, it wasn’t like that”, I shouted at your retreating figure, “You shouldn’t go out in that weather.” You didn’t even acknowledge my presence. Straight out the door you went. I knew exactly where you were headed.

She is always there for you, huh? Hugging and holding, being the best friend. Sometimes, I wonder why you even picked me. You had the perfect lover who knew everything about you right in front of your face. She, clearly, wanted you too. I don’t know if you never noticed, or if you really didn’t want her in that way.

But no matter, we were ruined. One stupid, preventable mistake tore down all we built. You were hers again. But that’s all you really were, wasn’t it? You never really loved me. At least not like you loved her.

I’m sorry I hurt you. Whether they’re your real emotions or not, I smashed them. I could tell it was painful. I just don’t know how deep the wounds go. But that’s no excuse for my behavior.

I really wanted to be P.O.'ed at Eri for doing something so stupid like that because it hurt Risa, but when you throw THIS into it:

After reading the first part I was like poor Gaki-san and bad Eri but after I read the second I'm like...everyone are poor here  :cry: Ai-chan and her unrequited love for Risa, Risa cheated by Eri, Eri feeling that Risa doesn't really love her and let me guess Sayu had feelings for Eri... :cry: Sad...but I love it  :heart:

Hello everyone! :) Thanks for all the comments!
@JFC, peti-chan and takagakifan - yeah, you kinda gotta feel sorry for all of them!
@JFC - you got me! I'm inspired! But you might have to wait a while......
@redux - thank you! Yeah, keep watching this thread!

If you all haven't noticed already, I like to write from everyone's POV so most of my stories will be that way. I just think it's only fair if you hear everyone's side of the story.  :D
And here's part 3!

.................................

Count on Me: Part 3/4

I didn’t expect this change of plans.

I just wanted to hang out with her again, honest. She was always with you. I barely saw her anymore. She was forever at your side. So when I found that bottle in Fujimoto-san’s dressing room, I got excited. Maybe this would help us loosen up and be besties again.

I led her there with a smile. I knew she’d be hesitant but I could convince a vegetarian to eat meat. I’m just that good. Her shocked face made me laugh and it was just too easy to pour some into her open mouth. She coughed but reached for the bottle again.

“HELP! HELP! THE DANGEROUS EARTH!!”, I screamed, running down the narrow hallway. “HELP! HELP! THE EARTH CRIES!!!”, she replied, coming after me. I know, it’s one of my songs and I shouldn’t make fun of it. But who are we trying to kid here? Tsunku must have been on something when he wrote it.

Anyway, back in her room, we sat on the couch, panting. I could see her body heaving next to me. Her lips were parted, those pink, adorable lips. I wanted to taste them but restrained myself. Until now. I attacked with my own, covering her mouth protectively. She stared at me, eyes wide as Yoshizawa-san’s when we performed Love Machine.

I expected her to push away and scold me.

But instead, I was pushed down and felt her sit on my stomach. I opened my eyes and grinned a bit at the body above me. Soon, we were making out intensely, as she ran her hands through my hair roughly, but not enough to make it hurt.

Then the door opened. The figure standing there was obviously you. I gasped and sat up, knocking her down into my lap. She turned and I could imagine what her face looked like. A mixture of shock and perhaps fear. She really loves you, you know. But she was always afraid you would go running back to your own beloved.

She immediately got up off me and ran after you, who had exited as she began to stand. I was left sitting there, ashamed. Who was I trying to reassure? Her, that I’ll be here or myself, that she still cares about me. The dull sensation of guilt rose in my gut.

I’m so sorry for this. It was entirely my fault and she is perfectly innocent. I started it. Please, forgive her and make up. She truly cares for you but has her own worries. I just want her to be happy. And you make her happy.

Aww...this is so sad. Both Eri and Sayumi have extra reasons that make you feel sad for them, instead of angry.

@heyyouhiya - If you show me how to update the title of the thread as I add stuff, I'll do it. I want to but I can't figure out how to do it....  :mon sweat:
@JFC - Yeah, I tried to encorporate a little Dark Sayu wit without making her seem like a bitch.

I'm glad some ppl like my pics. They're pretty simple but I tried to find some sad-looking ones....But H!P are usually smiling so it was a little hard!

Count on Me: Part 4/4

All I had hoped for was a nice, quiet evening at home with my girlfriend.

But instead, I got the reward of a broken heart.

I was sure she was still at work. She was very devoted. I wanted to surprise her and take her home for dinner and maybe more. So I snuck into the building and walked to her dressing room. I was gonna knock but I figured, what’s the difference? So I simply opened the door.

I saw my worst nightmare. My love, my angel…..sitting on the stomach of her best friend, kissing her hard. My jaw dropped and my heart died. The other saw me and sat up. Then she turned around. She looked at me with the most surprised face. I guess I ended up doing what I wanted after all. She started to get up and I left. I didn’t want to talk because I knew I’d end up saying things that I don’t mean.

She ran after me, shouting something about the weather. I ignored her fully and went outside. It was pouring. I picked up speed and soon I was running faster than ever. It helped to put the sharp pricks of pain in my chest at ease. At first, I was just running to get away. But soon, my feet carried me to the only place I could go.

I pounded my fist on the door, hoping she was awake. This time, I needed her more than ever. The door opened and she didn’t look surprised to see me. Allowing me to come in, she stood aside as I removed my shoes. My knees suddenly buckled and I fell onto the tile of the entryway. I reached my arms to her, feeling like a hurt child. She obliged and held me close, muffling my anguished cries.

We sat there forever. Rubbing my back, she whispered that I was safe here. Her voice calmed me and I gradually settled. I pulled away and told her with my eyes I needed to talk. We stood and headed to the bathroom to clean up.

A while later, I was ready. She looked at me gently, allowing me to speak when I felt up to it. So I told her. Every painful detail. Her expression changed from concerned to a masked rage. I could tell this is what she expected. She knew I could only become so raw from her wrongs.

Before I knew it, tears were overflowing onto my cheeks. My vision became blurry but I could still make out her face, kind to me but there was a hatred for someone else. She suddenly pulled me into her chest, holding me tight. She put her head on my shoulder, which became damp with her own tears.
“It hurts so bad”, I whispered, speaking of the rapid, blinding ache in the place of my heart. “I know”, she soothed as she brushed my hair from my face.

This was the worst feeling ever. I just felt like my world was gone. All except for her. I know I can rely on her to be there. She shares my joy when I am happy. Then there are times like these when she knows just how to make me feel better. The pain slowly eased. Barely but her touch made my heart become just a little less agonizing.

I could never tell her but, she is my true heart.

Well I'm glad its not as sad as I thought it would be... mainly because in the end it seemed like in the future there's a chance for AixRisa though the other POVs (eri's guilt and insecurities and sayu not want to lose her best friend) makes its makes it bittersweet.
Anywho the story was great I loved it.  I love your writing stlye, I think I've said this before, if not now you know, if i did already, well it never hurts too be complimented more than once.  Can't wait to see what's next keep up the good work :k-great:

Post by: chibilolli on May 14, 2008, 01:58:04 PM
Aww, great last chapter. But I have to say...I feel a bit mad at Risa. She has feelings for Ai as well, yet she was with Eri. Though I suppose if she doesn't know Ai's true feelings then why waste her time...It seemed like everyone else knew though.

Oh well...

I'm waiting patiently for your next story. Keep it up
Title: Re: strawb3rrykream's notebook
Post by: strawb3rrykream on May 15, 2008, 03:01:37 AM
I'm happy to see that the ending was satisfactory! I thought it was a good way to just voice Gaki-san's feelings while leaving the rest to the imagination. Also happy to see that I have fans!  :D
@heyyouhiya - Ok, I'll start changing the title. Thanks!
@Lolli - I like to think that Risa just doesn't really notice. Like it's super obvious to everyone else but she just sees Ai as a friend. But inside, she wants more. But she's afraid of rejection so she kinda ignores it and tells herself it's wrong to like your friend that way. So in a way, she's blinding herself towards Ai's feelings. If you can understand what I'm trying to say, that's what I think.

New story!!! This one's not really sad. It's more......rough.  :lol: You'll get it when you read it. I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote this though......  XD
I hope it's not too inappropriate.... 8)

..................................

The Fire in Your Eyes: Part 1/2

We’d been hanging out a lot lately, Ai-chan and I. I mean, we are friends after all. Not really close but we had something.

That night changed everything.

She came over at 9, right on time. We planned to watch a new movie I got. She had dance but I told her I’d wait.

But she was mad.

Like furious. I heard stories about Ai getting all bitchy since becoming leader but I never imagined this.

I opened my door and she kicked her shoes off violently. I was stunned. I was about to make a comment about her behavior when she walked up to me….and kissed me. Very well, by the way. I was even more stunned. She slipped her tongue into my mouth and massaged mine. As gently as it started, it became rather fierce. She shoved me against the wall. My shoulders hit the wall painfully. I was about to push her off when I felt her fingers tickle my waistline.

There was definitely something wrong here. Ai-chan was the pure one. The angel. She would never have sex, let alone with me of all people. I was worried. As an older woman, I wanted to stop her before she did something she’d regret. I’d have to ignore my own desires and do what’s best.

Yeah, I know. Who are you and what have you done with Miki-sama, right? But I was serious. As hot as Ai-chan is and as bad as I want her, I would only take her when she was sane. I’d never have to worry about it because she’d never do it.

Anyway, somehow we ended up on my bed. I was thinking of a way to get her off of me without hurting her. Meanwhile, Little Miss Angel was sitting on my hips. I looked into her eyes and what I saw frightened me. There was rage. Not a single sign of the girl I know. She looked like an animal, ready to feast. I suddenly felt really naked, even though I was fully clothed. She licked her lips and devoured me.

About 5 minutes later, I laid naked with Ai-chan over me. She was rubbing her body on mine roughly. Running her hands over every inch of me. Sometimes it felt good and sometimes it was painful. Her nails scraped over my back and I arched away. She used her other hand to shove me back onto the bed. I obeyed. She put her lips next to my ear and blew lightly. A shiver ran down my back. She nibbled my ear. I let out a moan and quickly clamped my lips shut. She whispered, “You are mine”. Her small hands seemed to cover my entire body all at once. She moved so fast that I felt it but it was gone, just like that.

I tried to speak up countless times. But each time I was punished with a shove or a slap. I couldn’t risk having any marks. I complied rather hesitantly. She was using me. For her own needs and selfish desires. As embarrassing, shocking and unbelievable as it was, I  was even more mystified at my feelings about it.

I was enjoying it.

The thought simply made me feel like a pervert who loved kinky stuff. I admit, I like it wild but I thought that was fairly normal. But this was a totally different experience. The feelings of pain and pleasure melted together so fluidly that it felt completely normal. Ai-chan would bite my skin or pinch my flesh and immediately suck all the pain away, leaving me with the simple feeling of her lips.

I don’t even know how much later is was that we both broke. First me, and then her. She shut down my nervous system. The last straw was a tender kiss on my sensitive ear. I felt a shiver and I was done for. She finished with her lips gripping my left shoulder. I was collapsed on the bed and she settled on my chest. Cautiously, I put my arms around her and held her.

When I awoke, she was gone. It was as if none of last night had ever happened. I became a bit scared that I had a weird dream about Ai-chan. I got up shakily and walked into the bathroom. I was still naked and covered in a film of sweat. I gave myself a once-over in the mirror. And I nearly overlooked the proof of last night.

Right on my left shoulder was a red mark. About the size of a 1 yen coin.

Despite the weird feelings, I smiled.

...................................

The Fire in Your Eyes: Part 2/2

That night was the best and worst of my life.

She told me to meet her at her place at 9. She has just gotten a new American movie and asked if I’d watch it with her. We were not really close but I figured, why not? I like Miki. She sometimes comes off as a heartless bitch but she’s really a nice person. I told her I’d come over after practice.

I don’t know what came over me. Maybe it was the endless dance practice we’d been having. Or it could have been my “best friend” hanging out with someone else on the day I had asked her out shopping. Hell, maybe it was my microwave breaking the other day. To this day, I can’t tell what had pushed me over the edge.

But I was fuming by the time I arrived. She opened the door and smiled. I ignored it and threw my shoes off like a spoiled kid. I could see her face out of the corner of my eye. I nearly burst out laughing at her expression. Then I did something neither one of us predicted.

I kissed her. Hard.

Some kind of anger demon seemed to conquer my body as I pressed myself into her. My tongue smashed into her mouth and I shoved her against the wall. The bang of her shoulders sounded painful but I was in no condition to be concerned about her well-being. I could feel her hands on my shoulders, about to push me away. Thinking fast, I went for what my body yearned for. I reached my hands down and grabbed at the top of her pants.

At that moment, she looked at me in shock. I took the chance to force her into the open bedroom door. We landed on the bed with a soft thump. She wasn’t paying attention to me and it made me a little sad. No, it made me mad. I straddled her hips and stared her down. She looked back at me and for a split second, fear crossed her pupils. I licked my lips at the sight and dove for her luscious pink lips.

Before I knew what I was doing, I had undressed her fully. She was covered by my body as I rubbed myself back and forth. My hands moved quickly as I touched every speck of flesh, all at the same time. I could feel that I was being a bit rough. My nails dug lightly into her smooth back. Not enough to scar but enough for her to feel for a while. She tried to move away and I pushed her back down. She didn’t try to get up again. I laid fully onto her body and put my mouth to her ear. “You are mine”, I whispered and blew into her ear gently. I could feel a shiver go down her body. Oh, I’ll warm her up.

I could tell she wanted me to stop. Miki tried countless times to convince me to quit it but I would have none of it. I would punish her each time. With a shove or a slap or a scratch. She eventually gave up and enjoyed the ride. I could feel her body relax with each stroke of my fingers. Her eyes would close and her face would betray every beg for me to stop.

My mind was consumed by rage but a tiny rational part of me screamed with fear. What the hell was I doing? Nearly raping none other that the groping queen herself? I must have been possessed. I was the good girl. The one who was gonna save herself for that special guy. And here I was, on top of a friend.

I decided to use my mouth for something new. I would select a patch of tender, tanned skin and sink my teeth into it. As soon as she showed signs of pain, I would suck the spot until she calmed. I did this over and over her whole body. She was soon covered in tiny pale love bites. I connected them with my tongue like tic-tac-toe. They all faded and I was too worn to put them back.

A while later, I planted a tiny kiss onto her left ear and she shuddered with completion. I was alarmed at first until I could feel the same sensation. I quickly put my mouth onto her shoulder and sucked the flesh as my mind shut down. She was leaning on the bed, panting as I collapsed onto her. I had never been so tired in my life. I let my eyelids fall and just before I drifted away, I felt her arms encircle me softly.

I woke a few hours later. I could see the clock and it read 4:30. I slightly cursed myself and carefully lifted Miki’s arms from my body. I was still wearing all of my clothes and sweating like crazy. She stirred a bit and I stopped. She settled back and I quickly snuck away.

In the bathroom, I looked at my reflection. I looked like hell. But there was something about my face that looked a little more relaxed. Like something that had been really bothering me was now gone and I could finally breathe. I wiped my face and fixed up my hair. Anyone who gives me looks can go to hell.

I took one last look at Miki, sleeping peacefully. Though, she was naked and sweaty. But I could never admit that she never looked more beautiful. I carefully pulled the sheet over her. It was a warm night but I didn’t want her to wake up totally exposed.

I smiled at her and left.

As I walked to the station, I thought about the last thing I did before we both finished. That bite on her shoulder. I held on pretty hard there. The mark would last, at least until she wakes up.

Somehow, I felt proud of that little bruise.

I guess that story was more powerful than I though.  :mon sweat:
In any case, I'm back with something else to try and help you all recover from your shock. This one's just seems kinda badly written to me. I had an idea and I just wanted to get it out.

.................................

Peaches

  “Thanks for inviting me over”, Risa smiled as Ai-chan returned to the living room with tea and a bowl of sliced fruit. “Of course, believe it or not, I like spending time with you”, the older replied casually. Blushing slightly, the younger took her tea and sipped quietly. Ai-chan silently giggled at her best friend’s embarrassment. Gaki would always be Gaki, easily shocked. “Have some fruit, the peaches are delicious”, she said, slicing the silence. Risa grinned and grabbed a fork. “Oishii~”, she squealed, closing her eyes in pleasure. Ai was pleased to see her friend happy. She took a slice of the pale fruit herself and chewed it slowly.
    Meanwhile, Risa had opened her eyes, but was still smiling as wide as ever. A thin line of juice dribbled down her smooth chin. She was about to wipe it when Ai-chan reached across the table. The girl took her thumb, wiped the drip and put her thumb into her mouth, sucking the nectar off. She grinned suggestively at the other girl, whose jaw nearly hit the table. She scooted over to her friend’s side and put an arm on her shoulder. “Aww, Nii Nii, you’re so messy today”, she began, “Let me get the rest of that juice.” At that moment, she placed her lips onto the other girl’s, sucking away the liquid on them.

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad most of you have recovered.  :)
Oh, ringo-hime, you say you want deleted scenes? Well, I wrote this now just for you! I took like 10 minutes so it's probably not too descriptive. I hope I don't put too many people in shock again with this. But it's much more mild....

..........................

Peaches: Aftermath

    Risa nearly passed out with the feeling of her best friend’s soft lips. She managed to keep herself steady and attempted to do some loving of her own. She broke free from the kiss and looked Ai-chan in the eyes. Ai stared back at her, embarrassed. But the raw emotions she felt compelled her not to break the gaze.
    Suddenly, Risa lunged toward her, knocking her onto her back on the carpet. The younger girl straddled her friend’s hips and pinned her arms down. She smiled and began to passionately kiss the older girl. Ai was a bit surprised but pleased, nonetheless.
   The pair lay there for a while, kissing and touching. They both learned new things about the other. Things that made them blush and moan. Ai found a patch of skin on Risa’s thigh that when touched (or licked) made her groan loudly. In turn, Risa discovered that Ai became weak when her jawline was sucked tenderly. They continued to become closer and closer until clothing became a nuisance.
   “Nee, Ai-chan, don’t you think we…..ahhh”, Risa began but was cut off as the other nipped at her ear. “What?”, Ai asked, momentarily stopping. “People usually do these things in bed, right?”, her companion continued. “It’s probably more comfortable”, Ai answered, “Let’s go then.” She stood and reached out her hand. Risa took it and they started for the bedroom.
    But Ai put her arm around Risa’s waist and squeezed her butt gently. She blushed and leaned back into the hand. They looked at each other and smiled lightly.

They never made it to the bedroom.

ok! I wrote a reply to all the stories I didn't get to reply to yet! Here we got (drafted as read)

Count on me part 2
Yey I get a pat! Can't wait for Risa's POV! WOW Eri knows all the right things to say! I am amazed at how touching this was! I even feel sorry for her... to be with someone that miight not really want you...
 Part 3 Sayu OMG!
Didn't know the pics were just edited in, thought they were there all along.. Don't remember that far back though so taking your word. But they are sooooooooooooooooo good! Seriously!
 Sayu......... so deep!
 She really loved her! I cannot believe she is pulling a Miki blame wise! She's sweet! She really loves Eri and wants her to be happy together with Risa even thouh she loves her and wants to be with her, but she is willing to put that all aside so Eri can be happy...

 Part 4 (Risa hopefuly)
IIt's too late..  Awesome pic I love it! So sad and taht lonley tear.....
Yup you surprised her allight...
aww! I love th ending! Soooo sweet! My heart almost hurt! It felt funny... I hope that in the future something happens and she and Ai get together. Even though it will hurt Eri, but she has Sayu. I just hope she finds out Ais' true feelings towards her....

Don't have time to reply to comments right now. Gotta go to school. But this is my last stock story so anything after this will be fresh.  XD

.......................................

Unmei no Hito

One Takahashi Ai walked slowly along the Sumida River. The cherry blossoms were in bloom and the petals danced in the air. She smiled as she thought of her days in Morning Musume, the days of her youth. If she were still in the group, they’d all be walking together. Laughing and singing loudly. Holding hands and linking arms. Ai stopped and sat on a lonely bench.
   She thought of what all the girls were doing now. Kame-chan and Sayumi left the group a year or so after herself. Kame was still singing. Sayumi became a costume designer for the project. Needless to say, the concert outfits were much cuter. Reina was now leader of Morning Musume, with Koharu as her subleader. Jun Jun and Lin Lin both turned down the position. They enjoyed being members without a large responsibility. They were up to 10th generation now.
    In the midst of her reminiscing, Ai’s cellphone rang. She checked the caller and smiled widely. She answered the call and said, “Hey Gaki-san” After being scolded for being late for their lunch date, she began running to the tiny café where she had to meet her best friend.

No matter what the future brings, Ai knew one thing would never change. Niigaki Risa.

Her best friend, her soul mate.

I'm back! My original idea kinda didn't pan out the way I wanted it to so I had to wait for something else. So this is a fresh fic! Just finished it like 5 minutes ago, so it's may not be as good as my others that took forever.
It came to me while I was listening to "Touch my Body" by Mariah Carey, hence the fic title.
Anyway, enjoy!
..........................

Touch my Body

   Niigaki Risa’s body hit the tile wall as her lover pressed her lips on her roughly. She nearly winced from the impact but the warm feeling of the other girl’s hands on her hips made her forget everything.
   The pair were making out intensely in the bathroom of the dance studio. A not so private place. But the way Risa’s body moved as she danced drove her girl crazy. The gyrating of Iroppoi Jirettai, the pelvic thrusts of The Manpower, the intense movement of Kanashimi Twilight. Her moves were graceful and sexy all at once.
    Risa groaned huskily as she felt the other’s fingers stroke her stomach gently. The lips gripped her neck and licked the skin. She felt herself lifted slightly off the ground. Her girl’s leg supported her body. She wrapped her legs around the other’s waist and licked her ear playfully.
    The other girl was so distracted by Risa’s seductive steps. She couldn’t tear her eyes away from the 19-year-old’s slim body. She tried to follow the song but her mind was elsewhere. All she could see was the tantalizing form in front of her.
    Risa was sweating more than in any concert. Her body was burning but it felt so right. She suddenly felt a bit cooler as her shirt was peeled from her drenched body. The cold tiles shocked her back but that was disregarded as other parts of her body became hotter with every touch. Her lover moaned as Risa squeezed her legs tighter around the other small frame.
    The practice was moving so slowly that they had to take a break. “Please try to concentrate more”, Michishige Sayumi pleaded, “We’re all so tired.” The lover apologized profusely but then leaned over to whisper something in the pink-loving girl’s ear. She blushed but then nodded slowly. Practice resumed a few minutes later, but without two of the members.
     Finally, the couple sat against the wall, panting heavily and sweating like mad. Their legs were intertwined and they held hands firmly. Suddenly, a knock was heard at the door. “Nee, you two, your time is up”, Sayumi called through the door. The pair glanced at each other and got dressed.
“I’ll see you tonight, right?”, Risa asked as she slung her arm around the other girl’s waist in a friendly embrace.
“Of course, I wouldn’t miss this for the world”, Takahashi Ai smiled as she kissed her girlfriend’s lips affectionately.
.................................
I thought about making the lover Kame, just for a twist but I couldn't deny Takagaki another sex fic! And I originally wanted to write angst because that's what I'm good at but clearly it didn't turn out that way!

I'm glad to see my usual readers back and some new ppl too! I was afraid this story was a little to scatter-brained. But I'm happy you guys liked it!
@sweeety and takagakifan: My bad. I'm sorry that it wasn't clear enough. I guess that could make the story a little different but I think I prefer Takagaki.
@shadowolf8, Shiru, ringo-hime, JFC, Grisours and Amarghetta: Thank you all for the comments! I'm happy that you like my writing and keep watch for more!
@peti-chan: I'm soooo sorry! I feel bad that I made you sick again! Feel better! Don't hold this against me and please keep reading my fics! (Just maybe not when you're sick? :) )

This coming weekend is Memorial Day weekend (in America) and I'm taking a trip to Monterey! I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon and won't be back till sometime on Sunday. I might login again before I leave but I'm pretty sure there won't be any fic updates.
So see everyone later!

Hello, everyone! It feels good to be home! Did you miss me? *holds hand to ear* Goood! I missed you guys too!
Here's something to celebrate my coming back!
..............................................

Angels Wear Shorts

   “Nee, Reina, hurry up!!”, Kamei Eri shouted as she waited for her friend to get dressed. “But everything looks so yucky on me”, Tanaka Reina pouted as she pulled off a red T-shirt and white shorts in favor of another chosen outfit. “You look cute in everything in your freakin closet!”, the oldest Gokkie member grumbled as she walked into the bedroom. There were clothes hanging off of every surface but the pint-sized Yankii was nowhere to be seen. But a weird noise could be heard from behind the closed bathroom door. “Shit, not again”, Eri swore as she rushed to the door.
   There sat Reina, on the bathroom floor. Her head was over the toilet and she was retching painfully. “Fuck, don’t do this!”, Eri screamed at her, pulling the other away and cradling her in her arms. Reina was sobbing. “But I’m so fat, so ugly!”, she whimpered, “I need to be prettier.” “No, sweetie, you’re so beautiful”, the elder reassured her, stroking her hair and rocking her gently. “I love you just the way you are, Reina-chan”, she continued, “I love my angel just the way she is”. “But…but…”, Reina began but she was shushed.
   The pair sat there for a while. Eri holding Reina in a soft embrace. Reina gripping Eri’s shirt like a hurt child. “So you love me?”, the younger whispered, looking up at the kind, tear-stained smile. “Yes, just the way you are”, Eri whispered back. “Ok, I think I’m ok now”, Reina said. They both got up and got ready.
    10 minutes later, Reina stood in front of her best friend, posing and grinning like mad. “I think I’m ready to go”, she squealed. The final outfit consisted of a red and black plaid jacket and some denim shorts. Eri was happy at the sight of her being so joyous after witnessing one of the low points of the young girl’s life. It made her feel good that she had helped someone that needed her. The two girls slipped on their shoes and headed out for a day of shopping.

“I guess angels wear shorts, too”, Eri thought to herself.

Thanks for the welcome backs, everyone!  :mon inluv:  :mon love: My trip was pretty good.
I'm glad that this story hasn't hit any nerves and caused any not nice comments. I was a bit afraid to post it because ppl might take it the wrong way. For the record, I'm pretty sure Tanaka Reina doesn't have any eating disorders. But I wrote this because sometimes, she looks a little too thin to me. But that's only my opinion. Don't get it twisted for truth. Anyhoo, I'm glad you guys like it! Yeah, the solution is that because Eri told Reina that she loved her, Reina realized that she is perfect and loved just the way that she is. So she is no longer doing unhealthy things.
Another serving of bittersweet angsty love, coming right up~
......................................................

Apologize

I can’t believe I caused this. She’s so young, too young for this to happen. Why am I so stupid!? I should have known she needed me. I shouldn’t have let her go home alone that night. I woke up to the phone ringing at 2 AM. It was Reina-chan and she said she was at the hospital. She told me that Gaki-san was found passed out in her apartment.

She had cut her wrists.

   I burst into tears as soon as the words left her mouth. I knew exactly why she did it, too. Reina begged me to calm down and come to the hospital. She said everyone was there, including Tsunku and Gaki’s parents. I told her I was leaving right now.
   I arrived at the hospital in 10 minutes. I ran in and saw the rest of the members immediately. My eyes overflowed at the sight of them. They all swarmed around me and hugged me tightly. They whispered to me, saying that she’d be okay, that there is no way that she’d leave us all forever. I just allowed them to hold me. But I was so numb I couldn’t feel any of it.
   We all sat together, crying for about 20 minutes. Tsunku came out with Gaki’s parents. They said that the doctor said she would be fine and that she was sleeping right now. We were allowed to see her though. Everyone voted that I should go first.
   I cautiously entered the hospital room. Gaki-san lay on the bed, asleep peacefully. I couldn’t help but smile at the expression on her face. I got closer until I saw the bandages on her wrists. My smile vanished and a few tears slipped out of my stubborn eyes. My heart ached at the sight. I sat on the chair next to her bed and gently took her hand. “Hey Risa”, I whispered, “I hope you can hear me.”
   “Why did you do this?”, I asked, my voice rising with anger and sadness. “I freaken love you! How would I go on if you died!?!?!”, I nearly screamed at her. I stopped talking and squeezed her hand. My head was bowed down as I sobbed. The tears splashed onto the sheets like a furious rain shower.
    “I’m sorry, Risa-chan”, I started again, my tone softened, “I love you so much and I promise I will spend every minute with you.” I sat for a few minutes in silence, staring at the floor, her fingers still intertwined with mine. I was still in shock that all of this even happened. But then I felt a squeeze. I looked up to see her kind face smiling at me.
   I was about to say something when she began to speak. “I waited so long to hear you say those words”, she croaked, her voice dry and raspy. I began to cry for the 4th time that night. “I’m sorry I did this, it was so stupid”, she whispered. She pulled my body down so that my head was cradled on her chest. She held me there, tears streaming from her eyes. We stayed like that for what felt like eternity.

Awww that was soo sad/happy
poor Gaki-san...
but sorry -editormode-
just because it bothered me alot...
“I hope you can hear me.” “Why did you do this?”

That part makes it seem like it switched who was speaking
maybe make it all like "I hope you can hear me...why did you do this?"
or put it as a new paragraph?
sorry I really love how you write =]
but it just mildly confused me for a while
I thought Gaki had asked "Why did you do this?"

I saved my 300th post for my thread to show my love for all you readers out there! This one's for you!!!!!!! LOVE YOU ALL!
To everyone: Sorry I made Gaki-san cut herself! I just thought I'd make things a little interesting. The reason though, I'm afraid, is kinda lame. She did it because she felt like she wasn't good enough to live because Ai was too busy. She thought that because Ai-chan wasn't hanging out with her, she had somehow failed in life. I wrote it to show how devoted to Ai-chan she is. Kinda dumb, huh?  :sweatdrop: But she's ok now that Ai's with her. So don't worry!
I should be back with something new soon. Maybe even tonight, if I can think of something. So don't go away! And once again, I can't thank you guys enough for the praise. It makes me blush.  :shy2: I love writing fics for you!

Awwww I loved the fic....it was short and it was sweet, but it llasted...two minutes XD

 Something that's been picking at me though... Risa and Ai loved each other so they were out, Ai and her split up and aparently because neither of them made a move Risa got depressed and slit her wrists. Then at the hospital Ai confessed that she loved her, Risa who was sedated somehow managed to hear it and wake up and admit her own feelings and such and then they were together.

 Ok, the (now) two things I dont get are
 Risa was under teh influence of sleeping pills in the hospital so how did she wake up?
 Risa had cut her wrists and they must have hurt like hell. So I am to assume they gave her some sort of numbing painkillers. So how the hell was she able to move her hands and
 A: Squeeze Ai's hand
 B: Pull Ai over her
 C: Hold Ai

 I mean, even if they didn't she probably wouldn't be able to use her hands much or at all without pain.. So Ai wouldn't be the only one crying I guess XD.. Bu yeah, they're kind of huge plot holes there. Maybe if you changed it to swallowed pills or took out the holding her stuff or something. I dunno, do whhat you want, I just didn't get that bit...

Ok, this fic doesn't involve me killing anymore ppl.
@sweeety: About all those details, yeah, I didn't think about any of that. I just wrote it out. Sorry that it's not totally realistic.
@lollipopgirl: *feels whip and hurries to open up Word* I've been working hard! Honest! I just couldn't really think of anything!

About this fic, I don't know if anyone has ever written about this. It just came to me and I'm glad it did. Yeah, and I stole the title from the book, "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe. Pretty good book, btw.
..............................................

Things Fall Apart: Part 1

When I heard the news, I knew this would happen.

   Hitomi-chan is strong but this was the worst thing. Losing her little brother. She loved that kid. She always talked about how smart and handsome he was. Whenever she visited home, they’d always go out together. I actually met him once. I admit, he was cute. He was polite, courteous and really funny. The boy version of her. The news made me pretty sad too. Kouta was only 16. He had his whole life ahead of him.
    I really thought Tsunku would make her take some time off and go home. But I saw her at the studio a couple days later. She was smiling and laughing with the other members. As if nothing had happened. She truly is a leader. Not letting the others see her weak side. Being strong for everyone. I later found out that she was supposed to take time off but she insisted on continuing to work. Her little way of coping.
    But a week later, late at night, there was a knock on my door. I groaned and dragged my tired body to the door. I peered through the hole and saw a hooded figure dressed in dark clothing. I was initially alarmed but something told me it was a friend. I opened the door and realized who it was.
    I welcomed her in. But she simply nodded her thanks and kept her eyes to the ground. Seated on the couch, she finally looked me in the face. My eyes widened at the sight. Her eyes, normally shiny and clear, were bloodshot and puffy. She looked so tired and worn. I grabbed her and asked, “What’s wrong, Hitomi?” “Kouta….”, she whispered and tears streamed down her small face. I realized that it finally hit her. She finally had time to think about her brother’s death. I pulled her to my chest and held her. Her arms weakly wrapped around mine and she cried into my shirt.
   “He was so young, just a baby”, she whimpered, “Why him?” I shushed her and let her cry. We had been friends since we debuted but seeing her fall apart was still a shock. She rarely broke down like this. Even though I am older, she always seems like a big sister. She was always the one to comfort me. But today, the roles were reversed.
    “I can’t do this, Rika”, she mumbled, her breath warm on my shoulder. “What, baby?”, I asked gently. “I can’t break down like this”, she continued, “I have to be strong for us.” I now understood why she worked so much. She didn’t want to worry everyone. I chuckled lightly. “It’s okay, your brother died”, I told her, “You have permission to show emotion” She looked at me and cracked a tiny smile. She looked so beautiful. The tears continued to silently roll down her cheeks and we lay on the couch. Her head was in the crook of my neck and I kept my arms around her body.
   I don’t know when we fell asleep but I woke up to her still in my arms. She was snoring quietly. She only snored when she didn’t get enough sleep. I frowned at the thought of her at work, doing useless things just to avoid going home. Knowing her, that’s exactly what she did. I watched her sleeping face. The tear stains remained but she looked much more at ease. I kissed the top of her head gently.

It’s okay, Hitomi-chan. I’m here.

Oh wow! Touching way to write about that issue :cry:

People like Yossy, who are so use to be the person who everyone relies on really do take time before things hit them, and then it always hits them hard!
I'm sure she did have a lot of support around her at that time though.

Glad the whipping worked btw, if I have to, I'll keep it up  :twisted:

Well, the death of someone close to you is always hard... no matter how Hitomi is tough it must have hurt her :cry: But thank god  Rika was there for her  :wub:

Actually I had similar idea of what would happen after Hitomi's brother death :P it will be even mentioned in my story  XD

that was a good take on that really tragic event.

 “I can’t do this, Rika”, she mumbled, her breath warm on my shoulder. “What, baby?”, I asked gently. “I can’t break down like this”, she continued, “I have to be strong for us.” I now understood why she worked so much. She didn’t want to worry everyone.

rika called yossui "baby"... cute role reversal...

Awwwwwwwwwwww sooooooo kawaiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!

 I have to use that word cause my sis is close...she doesn't know waht it means.

 I loved it! I was gonna write something like it but I wanted to get some more writing experience before going so emo on a fic.

 About the post, dw about it Lolli, it's ok, you can stop bowing now lol. It's alright. It just so hapened yours was the first on the page that i thought the new chap was on. My bad entirely.

 Lol, I had a feeling you didn't think that one through.... I was wandering if I was just imagining it wrong or something. lol, thought maybe I was just stupid and totally misread it or missed a few words or something. But I still loved it. It was sad though to see Risa get so depressed and in turn do the same to Ai all because she didn't spend time with her thus making her think she didn't like her.

@peti-chan - Can't wait to hear your version!

@kRisZ - That's the best combo of emotion, imo. 8)
@wings4dreams - Thanks! It moved me while I wrote it. I can't help but wonder what really happened....
@Yukari - I hope it's real. That would be soooo romantic... :wub:
@JFC - 100% agreed.
@lil_hamz - Don't worry about it. As long as you read and enjoy, my job is done. I mean, comments are  :heart: and I'm taking it to heart that you'll try to comment more but I can understand if you can't do it as much as you'd like. You're welcome and thank you for reading!

Ok, well, here's part 2. I was listening to the perfect song while I wrote this, Bye Bye by Mariah Carey. Almost made me cry. :cry:
...............................................

Things Fall Apart: Part 2

I couldn’t believe it.

    When my mom called me up, I had no idea what to expect. She was sobbing and saying something about Kouta and an accident. I kept asking, “What, mom? What happened?” She just kept saying my name and crying. Finally, my dad took the phone from her and told me. My little brother was dead. Hit by a car on his bike. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. I said goodbye to my father and threw the phone across the room. I grabbed a pillow off the couch and pressed my face into it. I screamed and cried with all of my energy.
    When Tsunku found out, he called me into his office and told me to take as much time as I needed. I could take off for a month, if I wanted. I calmly told him in my best, controlled leader voice that I was fine and that I would continue to work. The only time I would take off was a few days to go back home for the funeral. He repeatedly asked me if I was sure. It started to get annoying. As I left, he called to me. “The offer is still open if you’d like to take it”, he smiled sadly.
     I had to keep working. We were in the middle of a tour and I was leader. You just can’t up and abandon your team. And with work, I barely had any time to think about Kouta. Exactly how I wanted it. If I thought about it, I would have a meltdown and totally fall apart. I can’t let my girls see me like that.
    After the tour ended, we had about a week of nothing. A small vacation. I tried my hardest to find things to do at the office. I even began helping the secretary out with her work. I just didn’t want to go home. There were too many things that made me think of him. I mean, we were always close and pretty similar in taste. I went home for the funeral but came back the next day. I felt bad leaving my parents and family like that but I just couldn’t stay. I almost booked a hotel room just so I wouldn’t have to stay in our childhood home.
   But in the end, I broke. I was just sitting on the couch watching TV when my eyes began to water. They just kept flowing until I could barely see. I needed someone to hold me and there really was only one person I could count on.

Rika-chan.

   I knocked on her door about an hour later, my hood pulled over my head. She opened it and smiled, gesturing me in. I nodded, went in and sat on the couch. Looking up at her, I felt a fresh wave of tears. She gasped at my appearance and pulled me close. “What’s wrong, Hitomi?”, she asked, her brow wrinkling cutely into a concerned expression. I tried to speak several times but it hurt too much. “Kouta….”, I finally managed to croak out before my throat became sore from the feeling of loss. She seemed to understand what I meant. I knew she would. We have been probably the closest (besides Ai-chan and Gaki) since our debut. She always knows how to fix me. This time, she just held me close to her chest. Exactly what I needed. I put my arms around her back, softly. My tears soaked into the blue T-shirt she was wearing.
    “He was so young, just a baby”, I mumbled, finding my voice. She put her finger to my lips and made me stop speaking. Rika knew it would break me down more. Talking about my problems really don’t help. Of course, she would already know that. She was one of the few people who saw me like this. All broken and raw. My emotions poured out for the world to see.
   “I can’t do this, Rika”, I whispered, my face against her arm. “What, baby?”, she asked, her voice quivering, ever so slightly. “I can’t break down like this”, I continued, “I have to be strong for us.” I finally said it. That I was hurting myself for the good of my friends. So they wouldn’t worry about me. So they could concentrate and give their all to our careers, our lives. Rika laughed lightly and replied, “It’s okay, your brother died. You have permission to show emotion.” I grinned slightly at her comment. But I knew she was right.
   I was still crying as we lay back on the couch. I was in her arms and she held me like I was the most important thing in the world. It was a nice change. Usually, I’d be holding her. I guess we fell asleep because I felt her soft lips on my head a while later.

Thank you, Rika. It means a lot.

I had to keep working...
...If I thought about it, I would have a meltdown and totally fall apart.

This is exactly why I thought Yossy continued to work, some of it was responsability, but a lot of it was to stay numb...

When my little brother was hit by a van, the doctors told us to make funeral arrangements cause he wouldn't make it past wednesday (it happened on sat.). lets just say I know what its like to sob until you feel your insides crushing and you become so weak, but you just can't stop...and then I had to go to work the next day and smile plesently to the customers, the trick is to work so hard that your aching and tired, just for the hope that as long as you're working you don't have to think about what happened, but once the work day is done it all comes rushing back...At that point you really need someone to hold, for me it was my other younger siblings and my Mom (I lived at home during all this)

...mines got a happy ending though, he lived.  that was 8 yrs ago he's 15 now.

so your fic hits home and is super sad to me on sooo many levels...

you really know how to tug the heart strings strawb3rrykream  :cry:

@peti-chan: Well, I'm glad I could help then. Can't wait to read it!!!
@kRisZ: Thanks for the love, right back at ya! :heart:
@wings4dreams: Wow, that's so shocking! I'm so sorry your brother was hit by a van. But I'm happy that he survived. Do you think I wrote the emotions ok? I was just thinking about how I would feel. I hope it was accurate. (From your comment, it sounds like it's fairly decent.) I'm sorry if the story brought back any bad memories, though.

Ok, this next one.....isn't really a story. I'm really not sure what it is. I have no idea what I was thinking! XD So this is not too good. But I wanna know what you guys think.
...........................................

Just an Addict

I’m addicted to her scent. The sweet, delicate aroma of fruit. It fills my mind as she stands next to me on set.

I love her body. The skin is so smooth, flawless. It’s milky white and tastes like bliss. Her face is my favorite thing. It welcomes me with a smile everyday. That smile is so infectious that I can’t help but smirk when I see it. And I love the mole on her nose. I kiss it and she grins. Her neck is slim and just so kissable. I love to just hold her arms, rubbing up and down and feeling the silky skin. Her breasts, well, they’re perfect. A little small to some people but they really are right for her. And right for me. Her stomach is one of my favorite parts. It’s flat with tiny curves in all the right places. Her belly button is adorable. And as for that area, we won’t go too much into it. But just know, I love every part of her. Her legs are phenomenal. Perfectly shaped for wrapping around me.

I can’t get enough of her touch. Those fingers make me weak and vulnerable. They stroke my stomach and I blush like crazy. Her decorated nails run circles along my back and I moan. It’s insane that she has so much power over me.

Her voice gets me every time. The sound of her saying my name, “Ai-chan” sends shivers of pleasure down my spine. When I have trouble sleeping, she sings “Koe” to me. It melts my heart and sends my mind reeling into a fantasy land. Her moans and gasps turn me on. Just the sweet angelic tone relaxes my body and mind.

My name is Takahashi Ai and I am addicted to Niigaki Risa.

The end sentence is supposed to sound like those AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) or whatever meetings.  XD

@takagakifan - Your post made me smile.
@Yukari - TAKAGAKI FOREVER!!!!
@JFC - Your posts always make me laugh!
@tru_harmony - Bring back your RABU-RABU!!!! The pun made me :lol: Oh, and I always mis-type your nick at first. It always comes out as tru_haromny!
@Lolli - I think you're right... :P
@ringo-hime - The last line basically makes the whole story.
@peti-chan - The addiction is taking over us all.... XD And we love it!
@shadowolf8 - Thanks so much!

This story is kinda cute. A little weird, though. I was inspired by the MC at the Bon Kyu Bon Kyu BOMB concert with our Takagaki. The way Gaki-san was talking made me think of them as parents caring for these kids!
.......................................

Just Fine

   “Mama!”, screeched Kusumi Koharu, “Sayu took the last noodles!” Michishige Sayumi looked at the other girl and stuck her tongue out. The pair continued making faces at each other until Niigaki Risa finally came in to intervene. “Sayu, you need to share with Koharu” she scolded, “And Koharu, you need to calm down.”
    Risa returned to her seat, in the large recreation room at their office, next to Takahashi Ai. “I hope we’re taking care of them right”, she told her best friend, “I mean, we’re not Yossy and Mikitty” Ai looked at Risa and grabbed her hand. “Don’t worry, I think we’re doing just fine”, she smiled. Before she could finish her sentence, another cry was heard.
    “Papa!!”, came the shout of Tanaka Reina. Ai rolled her eyes and got up. She followed the voice to the far corner of room. Reina was sitting with Kamei Eri who was holding her hand and crying. “What’s wrong, you two?”, Ai asked, now worried. “I accidentally knocked over a glass of water while we were playing Wii”, Reina began, “I told Eri not to touch them but she tried to clean it up and cut herself.” “Both of you need to be more careful”, Ai told them. She proceeded to send Eri over to Risa to get bandaged up and cleaned up the glass herself.
   When both leaders finally returned to their seats, they looked at each other and smiled. “We’re doing just fine”, they whispered to each other as they watched their kouhai play around together.

@everyone: I was thinking about some mama and papa time too so here it is!!!

This is a rare two-update-in-one-day!!!!

.....................................................

Alone Time (Continuation of Just Fine)

“And we both just need some time to finish all this work”, Ai finished as she and Risa stood in front of the 7 Morning Musume members. They were all sitting on the floor of Ai’s apartment and stared at their leader and sub-leader blankly. “Ok, we’re putting Kame and Sayu in charge and you’re all going out today!”, Risa shouted. “YAY!”, they all cheered.
    “Nee, Gaki, what’s the real reason?”, Eri asked as they prepared to leave. “Me and Ai-chan wanna….you know”, Risa blushed as she whispered into Eri’s ear. “You guys wanna what?”, she looked at the sub-leader blankly. “We wanna have sex, ok?”, she snapped. Kame looked at her and turned a deep shade of pink. “What’s wrong, Kamei-san?”, asked Lin Lin, concerned at the sudden change in her senpai’s skin tone. “Nothing at all”, Kamei croaked out, her voice a few octaves higher than usual. She and Sayumi corralled everyone and got them out the door.
    “Well, they’re finally gone”, Risa said as she walked into the bedroom. She took one look at the bed and her jaw dropped. There lay Ai, wearing a set of sexy black lingerie. “Good, then we can finally have fun”, the leader said and grinned seductively at her girl. Risa took the hint and pounced onto Ai’s hips.
    The pair made out for a while, simply touching each other playfully. But soon the touches became more deliberate and wanting. Ai couldn’t wait any longer and nearly tore Risa’s top off. Her red polka-dotted bra soon followed. Ai’s lacy black bra was flung across the room and landed near the partially-open door. They played around for a while longer, but both girls couldn’t hold off. Two pairs of panties landed on the floor, abandoned and no longer needed.
     A while later, they lay on the bed, sweating and panting. “That was….so worth it”, Ai gasped as she took Risa’s hand in her, lacing their fingers together. “I love you, Papa”, Risa grinned as she cuddled into Ai’s body. “Love you too, Mama”, the older truthfully said, putting her hand around her love’s waist and pulled them together until they were spooning. The warmth from their bodies radiating between their bare skin.
    Meanwhile, the rest of the members entered the living room. Eri started towards the bedroom, looking for the lovebirds. She was about to open the door when something on the floor caught her eye. It was black….. She took a closer look and discovered it was a bra. She didn’t know whose it was and frankly didn’t want to know. She shut the door and returned to the living room, ignoring all the stares at her flushed face.

Risa and Ai heard (and saw a bit of) the whole thing and could barely control their laughter.

Time for me to comment, kinda late for the previous two fics but it's still okay right? *crosses fingers*

Things fall apart
*sobs* Why.... Poor Yossi. At least she has Rika there for her :cry:

Just an addict
Have I told you how much I love your titles? You come up with the best ones, and I especially love the last line :)

Just Fine
TakaGaki as parents? Now that's a nice thought :D I keep thinking they would be rather cute handling kids too.

Alone time
Ehhhhhh~~~~ Poor Eri, that was awkward :lol: Nice story though. TakaGaki action is always good action :lol:

Thanks for all the comments! I'm happy everyone was pleased with mama and papa time! :hee: I feel bad, I'm always abusing Eri!  :kneelbow: I think I'll write a nice something about her soon. :glasses: Today was my last day of school so hopefully, I can update more often!
@lil_hamz: Of course, it's not too late! Take whatever time you need. My titles....I never thought they were that good! But thanks, that gives me confidence in my title choices. I always try REALLY hard to make good ones so I'm glad you like them!

Anyway, this next fic/maybe poem-ish thing was written with no particular pairing in mind. I like to think of it as narrator Ai-chan with Risa or narrator Reina with Eri. I'll leave it to your imagination.
........................

In Her Eyes

Her eyes, those beautiful orbs of emotion.
Filled to the brim with shiny tears.
Overflowing onto her skin, streaking it with remnants of pain.
I try to wipe them away with my fingers but they drip faster than I can eliminate them
Seeing her like this rips me apart.
To see into her mind, to read her like any fashion magazine.
The feelings bubble to the surface and I look away.
I pull her to my chest so I don’t have to stare into those portals.
The tears stream onto my shirt, my body.
The warm drops cascade from her eyes and I can’t stop them.
I am powerless to ending her suffering.
To be weak, I always say, is to fail.
I have failed her.

I'm guessing that the narrator is holding the girl she is describing in her arms? As for why she has failed her...maybe she can't reciprocate her feelings? A question I've been wanting to ask, how do you come up with so many ideas for these fics so quickly? Man, you have great creative juices.
Title: Re: strawb3rrykream's notebook (In Her Eyes - updated 6/13)
Post by: lollipopgirl on June 14, 2008, 10:52:50 AM
TakaGaki as parents is so adorable, I want... MORE MORE!!! ENCORE ENCORE!!!

In Her Eyes just leaves sooo many questions, you gonna have to write more for that one to just to answer them :D
Obviously I read it as TakaGaki, but if the 'failing' was a bad thing, I will switch to TanaKame :lol:
I kinda just think she feels like she failed her coz she can't make it better and hasn't protected her from whatever it is that made her cry, awww!

@most ppl: The reason she's crying...well, you'll find out :D
@Amarghetta: Aw, thanks for the love! :heart:
@peti-chan: Yeah, I felt that way too after I wrote it. That's why I thought of Reina/Kame.
@lil_hamz: About my creative juices, well, I feel like I write very cliche stories. But my ideas come from everywhere. Could be a song I'm listening to, a picture or just something that pops into my head.
@lollipopgirl: Yeah, I'm thinking of writing more about Papa Ai and Mama Gaki. I hope most, if not all, of your questions will be answered. This was originally just gonna be a one-shot but everyone wants to hear more! Your last sentence is exactly what I was thinking, btw!

Here's the continuation!
.....................

A Promise, Broken

That promise, that vow we made so many years ago…
Broken, shattered, thrown to the wind.
“Nee, don’t let me fall in love foolishly, ok?”, her melodic voice echoes in my mind.
“I promise”, I grinned and we linked pinkies to seal the deal.
But I let it happen.
I let her fall.
It seemed promising at first…
But that’s no excuse.
Her light sobbing brings me back to the present.
Her fingers grip my shirt and hold on for dear life.
My weakness and inadequacy let this happen.
I broke my promise and this is my punishment.

Now you have mentioned it, you'll have to write more of Papa Ai and Mama Gaki, otherwise you're just a tease :P
And great minds obviously think alike ;)

That's it, after reading the continuation, to me, it's Gaki crying, Ai comforting and Eri sucks and broke Gaki's heart... That's how ALL fics should be :lol:

Does that mean Gaki broke her heart? :cry:

I'm a diehard TakaGaki fan and also Tanakame (leaning towards KameShige now) so GakiKame ruins all my plans you see :lol:
GakiKame is a sweet pairing though and I approve when Ai is with someone else :P GK, is very innocent together, it is cute, I'll give em that ;)

Post by: strawb3rrykream on June 15, 2008, 08:07:45 AM
@ringo-hime, kRisZ and Yukari: Keep reading if you wanna know my take on it but honestly, I began this story with no real pairing in mind.
@ringo-hime: And I've been meaning to tell you that your sig is strangely alluring... :D
@lollipopgirl and shadowolf8: Don't worry, I find your conversation quite interesting. Love you all too! And I have, in fact, taken your pairings into consideration...

Ok, here's my take. (If you don't like it or it's not what you expected, I give you permission to disregard it and go with your imagination!) The original narrator is Reina, holding a crying Kame whose heart was broken by Gaki, who broke up with Kame to get back with Ai-chan. I really just began thinking of these girls in this situation. This next part is a switch of narrators. (In my mind, now Kame is reflecting)
Hope you all still like it.

Memo

Memo wa sukoshi nagai kedo
Demo saigo made yonde yo nee

Those words play in my head like a CD on repeat.
This song never meant so much to me.
But now I understand…
When I found that note, I knew.
“I love you but…I can’t do this anymore”
“You mean the world to me…but I don’t want to lead you on”
I have the entire thing memorized.
Ironic that I can recite every single word of the one little sheet that ruined me.
Memorii satte yuku kedo
Atarashii kanojo no koto
Watashi no you ni aisanaide
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye

But you never stopped loving her, huh?
She’s not really a new girlfriend.
I try to convince myself that this is for the best…
But it hurts each time.
Memorii
Watashi no memorii

I can’t let it go.
I loved you with my whole self…
The song ends…
But the words continue.

The lyrics are from Memory ~Seishun no Hikari~ by Momusu, btw.

Ok, here's my take. (If you don't like it or it's not what you expected, I give you permission to disregard it and go with your imagination!) The original narrator is Reina, holding a crying Kame whose heart was broken by Gaki, who broke up with Kame to get back with Ai-chan.
Ahhh, I can live with it like :D
still get my TakaGaki and how you wrote Gaki's letter, at least she is still sweet about it :cry:
Poor Eri though, I'm sure Reina will once again want to punch Gaki and throw icecubes at her to make it better for Kame-chan  :P

A Promise, Broken

After reading this and the previous part again, now I'm thinking KameShige. No idea why something just tells me it's them :D

Memo

To me this is definitely Reina narrating at first. But the 2nd person, I'm inclined to think it's Sayu? Weird huh but I find these 2 quite a cute pair.

@Yukari: I'm liking where you're taking things.
@lollipopgirl: Gaki's just a sweety, she can't help it! :hee: And I think we need to keep Reina and Gaki far away from each other! I love that story, btw!
@ringohime: When I wrote Memo, it's supposed to be from Kame's point of view. She is reflecting on the way Gaki broke it off with her, through a note. And because she was feeling so bad, she went to Reina. The first 2 stories (In Her Eyes and A Promise, Broken) are from Reina's point of view. They are about how Reina feels like she failed Kame because they made a promise. That Reina would never let Kame fall in love foolishly. But she feels like she broke it by letting her fall in love with Gaki. If that makes any sense at all, that's what I'm thinking.
@lil_hamz: I think both Kameshige and Tanashige are cute pairs! In fact, I'm really not very picky. I think I like most pairings. Just depends on my mood. :kekeke:
@peti-chan: Yup, it really is a great song! I think I began liking it when I heard the Ayaya/Gocchin version on Hello Pro Hour. Then I heard Reina's version and it became a forever favorite! And you used it well in your story! Which, btw, I want some updates! I need Renai!!!! I'm glad I'm finally understanding. I think I comment right after I finish, rather than than thinking about it!

Well, I'd like to continue this, to finish it off. But I cannot think of anything! So I think I'll put it off until I can write something decent. So here's something new! Because I wanna show that I appreciate and love Kame-chan, this is for her!
...............................

One Sunday Morning

   It was a Sunday morning, the sun shining over the city of Tokyo. It shone through the windows of a small apartment’s lavender curtains. Its rays warmed the bodies of one couple, Kamei Eri and Tanaka Reina.
   The older girl, her arms splayed over her lover’s bare chest, stirred from her slumber. Her head rested on Reina’s shoulder and her body curled with the curves. Her eyes popped open, feasting in the smooth, pale skin before her. She carefully lifted her head and used one of her arms to wipe the hint of drool off her chin. She was still in awe at the beautiful girl laying in her grasp.
   Reina was perfect, in Eri’s eyes. The true goddess. Her small body was a temple to be worshipped. Her naked chest was enough to make Eri’s cheeks flush. They reminded her of the night before. All the touching and stroking was heaven. But today was her favorite part of their adventures, the morning after. A time for admiring what you have and to never forget it.
   But Reina’s assets were making Eri too hot. Too turned on. And it was just too early for that. She cautiously pulled the blankets up higher and over the both of them. She settled her arms back over her girl and snuggled back into dreamland.

that was hot... sweet and sexxxy at the same time...

Eri could institue her own religion now... She has a deity (Reina, the goddess), a temple (Reina's body), and a concept of heaven (All the touching and stroking)

ehem ok it wasn't sweet, it's hot, poor Eri, she is controlling herself... maybe she couldn't do it~~  :mon blood:

@peti-chan: Yup, we just gotta tell about saturday! :D
@ringo-hime: Don't mention it. Hey, just because Kame's a little shy doesn't mean she doesn't have hormones too! :twisted:
@AmberSan: They are becoming a fav for me! :oops:
@tru_harmony: I love how you put 3 "x's" in sexy! Makes it hot! Yeah, I think Eri is now a faithful "Reinaist!"! Sounds funny... XD
@takagakifan: Poor Kame-chan! Just a little self-concious and aware of her "feelings"! :twisted:
@Kame: Thanks for the comment! I hope you like saturday night~!
@Yukari: For some reason, I can just imagine Kame sleeping there, drooling! It just fits her image. And she was restraining herself from ravaging Reina's sleeping body. Cuz that's just inappropriate. :lol:

I had a hard time writing this. I wanted to make it different from all my other sex stuff, because they all seem rather similar. So I hope this is good.
......................

One Saturday Night

    It was a Saturday night, the moon casting an eerie glow over Tokyo. It shed its light on all the inhabitants of this vast urban city. But it was barely noticed by one pair of idols: Kamei Eri and Tanaka Reina.

 They were too busy playing Wii.

   “YEAH!”, shouted Reina, as she mercilessly kicked Eri’s ass in Mario Kart for the 3rd time in a row. She began dancing Sexy Boy, while getting all up in her companion’s face. “Mou~, do you have to rub it in?”, Eri pouted as she sat on the couch and tossed her controller carelessly beside her. She watched Reina dance like an idiot and couldn’t help but crack a silly grin at the sight. “Yeah, I do”, the younger girl replied. She danced her merry way over to the kitchen and grabbed a couple bottles of C.C. Lemon from the fridge. Tossing one into her friend’s lap, she plopped herself down on the couch.
    They sat there, sipping their soda for a good 5 minutes before Eri spoke up. “Now, what?” , she asked. “Let’s watch some TV”, Reina decided, “I’m so tired from winning” She switched off the Wii and grabbed the remote. Eri made a face at her but settled more into the couch, preparing for a drama or movie marathon. She knew once her friend found something, they’d keep watching until it was over and something better came on. “Oh, let’s watch this”, the little yankii smiled, keeping the channel on a romantic movie.
   They watched the movie for the most part in silence. But Reina couldn’t keep her comments to herself and yelled at the TV every so often. “Just kiss her already”, she cried out. A few minutes later, it was “What the hell did you do that for?!” Eri just watched, contently. On the inside, she was rolling around, laughing at Reina’s outbursts. “Damn, they’re gonna do it”, Reina finally relaxed as she grinned naughtily.
   As soon as the sex scene began, both girls began to laugh. “Gag me already”, Eri drawled as she rolled her eyes. “Totally, they’re like, ‘Oh, you’re so hot”, Reina mimicked as she tackled Eri and pretended to hump her like the movie. “Yeah, the girl is like, ‘Oh, harder!”, the older girl giggled as she writhed around under the other’s body. After several minutes of fake sex, both girls collapsed, cracking up. It took a few seconds but soon Eri realized Reina was laying on top of her, her skinny leg in a rather interesting place. She began to blush and tried to hide it. “Whatcha doing?”, Reina asked, looking down at the face under her. She froze and scrambled off of Eri’s soft body.
   “I’m sorry”, she mumbled, cornering herself as far away as possible. Partly from embarrassment and partly to hide her face’s deep color. They sat there for a few seconds, not looking at each other. Their cheeks burning with the shame of pleasure. “It’s okay”, Eri whispered, “I kinda liked it.” Reina abruptly sat up and turned towards the voice. “Really?”, she asked, “Because I think I did too” They stared at each other and gradually moved closer, until their thighs were pressing against each other. Their heads moved closer until lips were gently touching.
   Both pulled away after 5 seconds and looked a bit alarmed. But Eri threw any doubt to the wind and shoved her lips back in their rightful place. This time, Reina didn’t protest but instead, intensified the kiss by wrapping her arms around Eri’s waist. She pushed herself harder against the other girl, catching her off guard and knocking her on her back. The smaller girl tore her lips away from the kiss and straddled the wide hips in front of her. “I’ve been waiting to do this”, she whispered near Eri’s ear, her tongue taking a tiny taste. Eri shuddered and put her hands on the other’s hips, caressing the skinny behind.
   After fooling around for a while, Eri and Reina made their way to the bedroom. Eri found herself on her back once again, Reina sitting on her. “Know what?”, she said, “I think clothes are stupid” Her silly smile made another appearance. “Me too”, Reina replied, “Let’s get naked!!” And they nearly ripped the clothing off each other.
    “AHH!”, Eri groaned, her head jolting back onto the pillows. She had never felt so good in her life. Why hadn’t she spoken up before? It seemed to her that Reina loved her and she felt the same way too. “REI-NAAA!” , she screamed, her body shuddering and convulsing. The 18-year-old crawled over to Eri and kissed her softly. She wrapped her legs around one of Eri’s and lightly rubbed up and down. Up and down, until she collapsed next to her lover.

“I love you”, she gasped, weakly kissing Eri’s smooth lips.

“I love you too”, Eri mumbled, her tongue responding to the sensation.

   Eventually, it got cold and they pulled the covers over their naked forms. Eri curled her body along Reina’s side and cuddled her. Reina put her head on the other’s and stroked her thigh.

They lay just like that, sleeping until morning.

@shadowolf8: Just call me the dealer! :lol: Reina's just...Reina. So fun to write! Love you too! :heart:
@peti-chan: I hope you're brain comes back in time to keep reading fics (not just mine). And I want updatesss!!!!!!
@ringo-hime: Yay, Yay! Fake sex and thinking clothes are stupid FTW!!! :wahaha:

This........is just for fun. Not too serious or anything. Enjoy! I omitted a few things, not knowing if I'm allowed to write such dirty things.
..........................

Mmm, Silk

She pulled against the restraints that held her to the bed.
Their silky texture rubbed against her wrists but didn’t chafe painfully.
Breathing heavily, she braced herself for more torture.
Right on cue, she felt another silk scarf make its way up and down her arms.
The corners of her mouth turned up lightly.
The long sliver of material abandoned its path and moved on to a different area.
She gasped at the tickle over her bare breasts.
A deep groan escaped from her wet lips.
It circled around and around until it slowly ran into the middle.
Another groan.
The scarf traveled between her peaks and down to her taut stomach.
She nearly giggled at the sensation.
It bounced over and over her belly button and smooth skin.
Lower and lower it went.
A sharp intake of air.
Barely touching her most sensitive part, it drove her crazy.
Quickly saturating with wetness.
Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore.
“Dammit, Gaki!”
Laughter and the scarf was discarded.
“Mmm, Ai-chan”, came a husky reply.
..........................

Sorry if it's not too good. I honestly don't know too much about sex and kink and whatnot.

So I'll just comment on these last two because I'm struggling for time XD

Reina and Eri were super cute! Especially how it started with them just playing video games (with Reina winning of course) to well...other more enjoyable things =P

@Lolli: I'm glad risqué is to your liking. But I don't think I can go any farther than that...maybe. :oops: I will most definitely keep up Takagaki, but with some other pairing in between.
@peti-chan: It's already Thursday! I can't wait for an update. Maybe my stories can give you some ideas... :twisted:
@shadowolf8: I'm happy you noticed the risqué too!
@tru_harmony: Ok, I guess I know a little.... :oops: But it's only from what I read. So you can thank your fellow fanfic writers for my knowledge! XD
@JFC: Yeah, I can totally picture it too! I cracked up when I wrote it! And no, they aren't watching softcore. Our idols aren't those kind of girls.....(maybe). They were exaggerating so what they were doing was little more risqué than the movie.  I've killed so many ppl. Should I be feeling bad about this? :? XD
@lollipopgirl: Silk is teh shit! And I love you too! I've been trying to be good and make sure all you readers know that you mean a lot to me!
@heyyouhiya: It's okay, as long as you're reading. It always starts from video games, doesn't it? But eventually those get dull... I expect all of you to go out and buy something silk!
@Yukari: Fake sex is whoooooooooooo! Takagaki is always hot, no matter what they're doing!
@ringo-hime: :rockon:  :hehehe:

Ok, this turned out totally different than what I intended. It's not even the same pairing! But I had a little fun writing this. And believe it or not, I attempted to use some of the tips from our senpai writers. Enjoy!
.............................

She Noticed

I slump against the wall and slid onto the practice room floor. I could feel my mouth curl into a somewhat frown as I pull my knees to my chest and hug them. I’m feeling pretty dejected. This feeling is not new. But the reason I am like this makes me even more upset.
   I just saw Ai-chan playing around with Sayu and Lin Lin while I sat here, looking bored. I mean, what the hell? I’m her best friend and she’d rather play with them. I know I could have asked and they would probably let me hang out with them. But I just….I just don’t want to. It’s stupid but I’m hoping she’ll notice I am alone and  invite me over.
    My head seems to fall lower and lower as I think about her. Her kind smile, the only thing that could bring me out of my slump. The broad expansion of shiny white teeth, the little line above her upper lip. I trace the wrinkles on the knee of my black and white Adidas track pants. “I love you…”, I whisper, my heart breaking.
    A few minutes later, Natsu-Sensei tells us all to get back in position to practice for Resonant Blue. I take a few deep breaths and stand up, my usual smile pasted on my face. No one suspects a thing. I take my place and the music begins. My anger and disappointment manifests and I can feel the smile slip away. I don’t know if I look angry but I put all of those feelings into my movements. I jerk my knee up hard and roll my body. I can feel some of the other members glance at me. I ignore them and continue my moves. My shoes squeak loudly as I twist my body to the choreography.

Even Ai-chan seems to notice me now.

   As the songs ends, I come down from my high. My adrenalin slows and my blood pumps less rapidly through my veins. “Niigaki, good job”, Natsu-Sensei says to me, smiling and patting my shoulder gently. I weakly smile and quickly gulp some water. I walk past Mittsi and Koharu and catch a bit of their conversation. “Nee, did you see Niigaki-san?”, Mittsi says, looking at her friend with serious eyes. “Yeah, she was really working hard”, Koharu replies as she reties her ponytail. I inwardly smile at the comments.

No one suspects a thing.

   I stretch my legs and bend over to retie my shoelace. I can feel someone staring at my back. Standing up, I swirl around to find Ai-chan standing there. She is wearing a white T-shirt and grey sweatpants. She looks so beautiful, even though sweat drips down her forehead. I smile at her and turn to walk away. She reaches out and her small hand grips my wrist. I don’t turn and she begins to speak, just as I predicted. “Nice job with the dancing but I know you’re mad”, she says, “I’m sorry for whatever I did.” I start to look at her but she pulls me into a furious hug. I let out a tiny cry and my body crashes into hers. My arms move up and hold onto her back. My eyes begin to water but I don’t care.

My Ai-chan is back.

I meant keep up the writing. Not keep up the smutty stuff :lol:

I loved this story *squee* I'm a sucker for sweet stories just as much (or maybe more) then smexy ones. All depends on the pairing and writing.

TakaGaki do have something special going on - mind wise. They know each other so well...Like they're soul mates :heart:

awww...

that was sweeet...

they really know each other... like they're connected telepathically or something...

Gaki actually said recently that her and Ai can tell what each other is thinking without either saying a word :heart: :wub:

Now, what should I buy that's silk :drool: :P
About the writing, did you use the 'camera movement' technique that was suggested? I really noticed that and it worked well ;) A very sweet story and angry RB dancing Risa is hot!!! :o :heart:
Curiously, was this meant to be Ai and Reina? The pouting and annoyance at the start just made me think Reina :lol:

Man, I'm so glad you're on holidays when I am, I'm loooooving all these updates from you :D

I feel like replying to comments but I don't have a new story yet. So bear with me, I'll try and have one up later today.

@tru_harmony: Yup, they are attached in the mind. Makes them even cuter, imo.
@Lolli: Ok, well, I think I'll be keeping up both. XD Sweet stories are fun because you can add all the mushy, cheesy things you would never say or do in real life. (Or stuff you'd want to say or do but are too shy.) I agree, if any members were to be soulmates, it would be Takagaki. They just click.
@JFC: Even if my stories are too short for your epic posts, it's still cute to see your smily comments. Come to think of it, we don't have a hugging smily....
@lollipopgirl: Hmmm, I'm sure they sell a lot of silk things out there. I did actually try the camera thing, glad it turned out ok. I can just imagine Gaki moving around furiously with this expression.... :drool: I think I was either trying to write RenAi or TanaKame. I can't really remember but it wasn't exactly like this. It had something to do with dance lessons. Summer break is the best thing to ever happen to me!!!!!!
@shadowolf8: Maybe Ai isn't as absentminded as we all think. :P
@Yukari: I love Gaki. She's so... :wub:
@AmberSan: Yup, Ai-chan totally knows what she's doing.  XD at Mameko!
@ringo-hime: Sweet like sugar! :heart:
@Kame: Honestly, I think they can't live without each other. Ai wouldn't have someone to listen to all her babble and Gaki wouldn't have anyone to lean on. They just complete each other. I think I can write some more of those!
@kRisZ: Oh, so you have a kind of Ai-chan in your life? I think I like ending that way because it's not really a full ending. It kinda gives you the freedom to think for yourself beyond the limits of the story. It's fun.

Ok, well, I think I'm gonna try writing a different pairing. They are well known and I find them very interesting. So we'll see how it goes.
See everyone later!

@peti-chan: There's no such thing as late, you're perfectly fine. 8) Whoo! I'm glad to help my fellow writers! And I loved your ch., btw!

Ok, here it is! I've never even thought about writing this pairing but I've always liked reading about them! So enjoy!
..............

Change

   Fujimoto Miki crawled into her queen-sized bed at around 12:30 AM. The white sheets felt cool on her bare skin and she shivered. Her pink tank top protected her back from the chill but the tiny striped boxer shorts did little for her legs. She curled up into a ball and closed her eyes. But sleep wouldn’t come. They flicked open again and she was left laying wide awake, feeling alone. “Where is she?”, she wondered, a now familiar feeling rising up in her chest. It moved from the pit of her stomach all the way up to her head. It burned her throat and stung her eyes. Tiny tears welled up and fell silently.
   Miki had no idea how she changed. She used to be the tough girl who needed no one. The girl who spoke her mind and looked only to herself for comfort. But ever since she got with her that night, she was different. Sure, she loved the girl, of course, but she didn’t like the way their relationship had evolved. She was now this girl who couldn’t live without hearing that sweet, girly voice. She needed to feel that soft skin on hers. Her girlfriend had captured her heart but her real self got tangled in the process.
    By now, the tears were flowing freely. Drenching her pillow and leaving salty streaks on her face. She rolled over, facing away from the empty bed and shut her eyes tightly. Miki soon found herself in a light sleep.
     But a few minutes later, the bed creaked and shifted as another body entered. Miki was barely awake but could feel this movement. An arm made its way around her waist and pulled her backwards. She was now leaning into the body of Ishikawa Rika. “Baby, I’m home”, the older girl whispered, kissing Miki’s ear. Miki leaned back into the soft, but taut body and relaxed, smiling contently.

Sure, she’s changed but change isn’t always a bad thing.

And yeah, CharMikitty isn't a common pairing, but the story was still sweet enough for a :mon fyeah:.

Dou? Dou? Dou? ...that's what Ai-chan asks her victims as Tsuboman (her new character in Haromoni@ on Moutube) when she's pulling off a joke... it has the meaning "how was it" or "what do you think" Let's go, Tsuboman :onioncheer:

Roffle, I thought OCG II was the only story with a slight Charmikitty focus xDDD

It IS an uncommon pairing, I'm glad you decided to write it :3

It's cute how Miki's personality got toned down as a result of dating Rika. The tough girl is now a softie xDDD.

I look forward to your future stuffs~

Wow, I'm excited! New readers!!!!! But my regulars...I still love y'all!!!! :heart:
@tru_harmony: YEAH!!! Change = not so bad.
@Yukari: I never read too much about them but they are kinda cool together. Best of both worlds, I guess.
@JFC: Nothing less for our queen, I presume? Thanks for the applause~ :wub:
@shadowolf8: What can I say, I'm more of a lover myself (sometimes!). Like Kame said, the whole "Dou? Dou? Dou?" thing is from Haromoni@. Ai-chan plays a character called Tsubo Tsubo Man who says that to the ppl he questions. He asks them how his lame jokes were. Happy to help brighten your day!
@ringo-hime: Yeah, "Dou?" does mean "how is it?"
@Kame: You are saikou! Guess you've been watching your Haromoni@! Thanks, I try.
@zay05ohayou: Thanks for reading and commenting! Hope you didn't hurt yourself falling. Miki's becoming more attentive towards her feminine side, thanks to a certain other girl. Love Revolution~
@Yuuyami: Wow, I feel honored~ I like OCG II, btw. I like their love/hate relationship kinda thing. I think Rika could have that affect on anyone... XD Thanks for watching me and my writing! -gratefully accepts hardhat- I'm afraid I may use this thing soon. Even though I have plenty of time this summer and I've been updating so frequently, I have a feeling I'll be slowing down soon. Hopefully not, though.
@poets:  :D I'm glad you're happy. They are definitely growing on me. Thanks! It was my first time writing them so I was a bit nervous. So it's great that it turned out ok. The nickname/abbreviation is fine. Ok, I've read it before but...it's just not as mainstream. Hopefully, it will become soon!

Since everyone seemed to like this change, here's another!
.....................

Like the Butterflies

    Fujimoto Miki walked leisurely through Yoyogi Park, enjoying the sunshine. She stretched her arms over her head, her purple satin tank top rippling in the light breeze. She strolled around, smiling at a little kid being pulled around by a puppy. Finally, she arrived at a grassy area where a picnic was waiting for her, along with a certain someone.
   “Mou~, you’re late!”, Ishikawa Rika frowned as Miki removed her shoes and joined her on the plaid blanket. “I’m sorry”, the younger soloist grinned, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. “No, you’re not”, the girly V-U-Den leader replied, a tiny smile playing on her rosy lips. “I’m a little sorry”, Miki fake-pouted. They began to laugh and blush slightly. They used to dislike each other but now they were an item, finding that they had more in common than first thought. “Look! A butterfly!”, squealed Rika, pointing at the blue winged creature, floating about them. “It’s a gorgeous color”, Miki agreed, watching it dart up and down. They sat in silence for a few seconds, in awe. But a certain woman’s stomach interrupted the moment. She blushed and her companion giggled.
     Rika opened the bag she brought and removed a huge bento spread. “Whoa, you made all this?”, Miki asked, shocked at the sheer amount of food. “Yup, I made it just for you”, she answered, as she opened all the containers and handed her girlfriend a pair of chopsticks. “Itadakimasu~”, they chorused and dug in. “Everything is so good!”, Miki cheered, “Thanks for going through all this trouble.” Rika simply nodded and beamed at the sight of her happy companion.
   After they ate, the pair decided to lay down and enjoy the nice weather. Miki laid down on the blanket, using a smaller bag as a pillow. She beckoned Rika into her arms, where the charming girl cuddled into her body. Soaking up the warmth, they let the sun’s rays wash over them. “The butterfly is back!”, Rika suddenly shouted, “And there’s another one with it.” Sure enough, the blue butterfly returned, this time with a mate. They danced happily in the sky. “They look so happy”, Rika commented dreamily. “Like us, baby”, Miki said, “Happy alone but even better together” The older girl’s heart melted at the comment and she scooted up to kiss her girlfriend.

I'm turning soft too! I think I need to write some more angst, I miss it! But fluff is so funnnnnn! XD

One Sunday Morning

I think someone just raised the temperature in here, huuuuuuu~~~ hot  :P


One Saturday Night

Now, the TanaKamei pairing is a fascinating one. I can never decide who I prefer Reina with, that's why it's fascinating? :lol: But I liked this and how you had them start out with fun and games and then end it with the right amount of sweetness :wub:


Mmm, Silk

This one definitely drove me crazy XD Damn...


She Noticed

*Gasp* Poor Gaki-san :( I would have liked this fic to be longer but you managed to get everything fitted in perfectly. I'm glad you ended on a good note though. I don't think I can handle Risa feeling hurt about Ai leaving her out :D


Change

Woah...at first I thought this was going to be about how Miki became a softie. I didn't expect Rika to be there too. Hmmm.. this certainly opens up new possibilities :P

Like the Butterflies

Usually I don't read about pairings other than my favorites but I make it a point to read all your fics and I actually like the IshiMiki pairing. I think your writing helped a lot with this :)

Btw, I'm all for angst so write away XD

Ok, I swear I'm working on stuff! Thanks to Yuuyami's hard hat, I'm not suffering from writer's block. But I am being extremely picky. Nothing sounds right, I feel like I'm rushing through and I don't like it. So bear with me and hopefully, I can write something good. Thanks for all your love, support and comments! :D

@tru_harmony: I XD at your comment. I like adding the little "baby" everywhere! :P
@ijou_shinigami: Yup, cute is definitely them! :wub:
@lil_hamz: Reina......what can I say about her? She seems like she could go with nearly anyone.....maybe not. I don't know! But I am quite fond of her. I wasn't exactly sure where I was going with She Noticed. But I'm happy you liked it. And I'm also happy that I've helped you discover a new pairing. This section is very good with that. KonaKaga helped me see the cuteness in GakiKame. Hopefully, I'll get some angst soon. I kinda like writing painful stuff. Wonder what that says about me? :?
@peti-chan: Yeah, I think I like romantic Miki too. It's fun to kind of change up everything we know. Maybe she really is like that...
@zay05ohayou: Rika was able to change the un-changable! Powerful stuff! Thanks for liking my writing! Fluff is fun but I really do miss angst!
@ringo-hime: Yeah, I know. Butterfly is kinda weak.... :lol:
@Kame: Honto ni yo! Anta wa SAIKOU! :lol: Excuse my not-very-polite Japanese! I've been catching up on it.
@Yukari: I agree, it's not easy to see some badass being so cute but I think it's a good change. I'm sure she can be nice in real life sometimes.
@shadowolf8: Miki is a woman of many faces. This is one of them. :P
@Amarghetta: I know! Such a coincidence! My titles are kinda like that, you know?
@JFC: Thank you! Miki-sama is cuteeeeeee!

@lollipopgirl: Yeah, I think you're right. Miki is pretty smart, in some things. (Just not geography XD) Angst.....didn't really happen! I tried but..... :( Oh well, this is not really angst but a little sad maybe?

I'm really sorry to all my readers! I've been preoccupied and lazy but I finally finished this. Not what I originally began with at all but I think it's something new.
......................

Out of the Blue

There she was.

She looked as cool as ever.

   I haven’t seen her since she left the project. That was quite a few years ago. I never really thought I’d see her again. I mean, we were friends but drifted after she left Morning Musume. Maybe she thought I never forgave her the scandal but inside, I was happy for her. I knew what she did was wrong but I couldn’t help but cheer her on.
   A crying noise brought me out of my thoughts. “Shhh, Aya-chan”, I shushed as I bounced my baby daughter in her carrier on my chest. She quieted down and I was left in silence once again. Should I go talk to her? Would she be happy to see me? Or would she be indifferent? After fighting with my thoughts for a good few minutes, I decided to go over. Luckily, she was still standing in the same area. I took a deep breath and started towards her.

“Miki-chan!”

   She turned towards my voice and looked a bit alarmed. Then a wide grin spread over her small face. “Ai-chan, how are you?”, she smiled and jogged over to me. She attempted to hug me but the baby carrier holding my baby foiled it. We hugged sideways and giggled. “I see you’ve been busy”, she commented, smiling at my little girl. “This is Ayano, she’s 6 months old”, I told her, stroking the baby hair on my daughter’s round head, “What are you up to?” She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly and replied, “Married with a 10 month old daughter” “Wow, that’s great”, I genuinely gasped, a little shocked at this domestic version of the badass woman I used to know.
   We chit-chatted a bit longer, telling each other all about our recent endeavors and family life. After exchanging phone numbers, we promised to keep in touch. She put her hand on my shoulder and smiled warmly. I smiled back…..until I felt something squeeze my butt. I blushed at the evil smirk on her face. “Still got it”, she whispered in my ear. I shivered as a tiny chill ran down my spine. “Anyway, really great to see you, Ai-chan”, she said, “I’ll call you soon” I waved and we parted ways once again.
    Why was I so nervous? Miki is Miki. The same beautiful, enchanting woman, only now she was married with a kid. I’m glad she’s happy now but something still feels different. A bit painful, somehow. Maybe because she never reciprocated the feelings I had for her so many years ago. Not that I ever told her.

Or maybe…..I never got over her.

Strange, huh? :P

Gotta say, at first I thought it was Miki's POV when the narrator called her baby "Aya-chan". :P

Then you gotta mix it all up by saying it was Aichan. :dizzy:

Still though...it's kinda cute picturing both of them with kids and speaking "motherese" to them. :oops:

Hey, it wouldn't be Miki-sama if she didn't do it. ;D

I’m glad she’s happy now but something still feels different. A bit painful, somehow. Maybe because she never reciprocated the feelings I had for her so many years ago. Not that I ever told her.

Or maybe…..I never got over her.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.../me whistles slowly.

Wow, Ai and Miki, The thought of them as a pair is cute! But here, it seemed to be one sided so..  :(
Both of them have babies!  That's  :O So are they both married? This is sad.. Though.. after years Miki still has her groping streak!  XD

Wow, what's with the sudden baby theme amongst writers (not just you),  luckily I loooove babies :D

And you wrote another Miki/Ai, YAY! (that's my word of the day today :oops: )
Ai's bubsy being called Aya, that's so cute... just an all round Awwwwwwwwww for this one *huggles!*

EDIT:- I think you need this :onionwhip: coz we all need more Mama and Papa :wub: :D *skips off to watch DVD magazine 16 again where it's a very clear heap of Mama, Papa and baby Mittsi :heart: *

@JFC: I love that Utaban episode! Then again, I love most Utaban episodes. As for the baby's name, I really couldn't think of anything. My friend's really cute little sister's name is Ayano so I used it. But then I thought about the whole Aya thing and I just said whatever and left it. I did think about calling the baby Risa but I thought it might be a little weird. Yeah, I don't think Miki-sama will change ever. Married with a kid or not. Yeah, had to end it on an interesting note.
@zay05ohayou: They're cuteness! And one-sided love happens waaaaaaay too often, so this situation is no different. :D I think I like the idea of them as mommies. Ai-chan has the mom thing down already and Miki could be a good mom. Groping will never disappear!!!!!
@peti-chan: I guess it wasn't your cup of tea.... :P But it seems like you liked the groping!
@tru_harmony: Yup, Miki will always be Miki-sama! It means poor Ai-chan will never ever tell Miki how she felt. She doesn't want to bring up old feelings because they are both happy right now. She doesn't want to rock the boat. I know, it's a lame ending thing but I'm too lazy to write anymore about this, for now.
@shadowolf8: I have a feeling they are all gonna move on and have families someday.
@lollipopgirl: I love babies too! TakaMiki is very appealing to me! Glad you thought it was cute! This one doesn't seem to be as popular as other stories. So I'll try harder to write something appealing to everyone! I think I need it too! I've been lazy and not doing anything lately.

Ok, I'm gonna try and write some more Mama/Papa! I really do love them! But......right now, I'm listening to the v-u-den radio special. XD

I needed something to do so here's some Mama/Papa love!
I included an alternate insert because I couldn't decide which I liked better!
Just replace the red text in the story with the insert.
.........................

The Kids Don't Know

    “Hey, Ai-chan?”, Niigaki Risa called to her best friend, girlfriend and leader. “Yeah?”, came the reply from the bathroom. “Do you think the kids know about us?”, Risa asked, flipping channels on the TV and absentmindedly scratching her knee. “You mean us being real mama and papa and doing real mama and papa things?”, Takahashi Ai laughed as she walked into the living room, settled onto the couch and wrapped her arms around the other. Risa rested her head on the shoulder behind her and replied, “Yeah, that.” Ai-chan thought for a moment. “Only the rokkies, probably”, she answered, “Because that incident in the dressing room was a little hard to forget.” She smirked at that memory. Risa blushed but she too smiled, recalling all that happened in that little room.
   “So you don’t think anyone else knows?”, the younger girl questioned. “Doubt it, they don’t really know about that stuff.”, Ai replied, with a wave of her hand, “At least they shouldn’t.” Both girls laughed at the last comment. They cuddled, enjoying the feeling of holding the one you love and being held.
    Ai-chan grew bored with the show and began to lightly rub Risa’s back. Her hand passed over the thin bra strap located under the white t-shirt repeatedly. An evil grin grew on her face as she grabbed the strap and snapped it on the other girl’s back. “Ow!”, Risa cried out, “What the hell was that for?!” She turned around to glare at Ai-chan but was met with a pair of lips instead. The kiss became more and more passionate as Ai-chan pulled the girl on top of her and clamped her legs around the trim waist. Risa broke the kiss for a second, ignoring the frowning face beneath her.  

“If only the kids could see us now…”, she commented before returning to the kiss that would soon become much more.

Alternate Insert:
The rubbing moved down and around until Ai was stroking Risa’s side tenderly. The sub-leader didn’t seem to mind so she continued her trek upwards. Finally, her hand came to rest on the other’s breast. Her hand squeezed and kneaded the lump of flesh. Risa let out a moan and leaned her full weight back onto Ai’s body. The older girl smiled and moved her other hand up to grab the other breast and perform the same treatment. Ai’s lips soon were on Risa’s neck and left little wet marks. The younger girl was now panting lightly and rubbing her own body against the human pillow holding her.

“If only the kids could see us now…”, she gasped as her own hands began to explore the soft thighs underneath flannel boxer shorts at her side.
......................
I didn't want to write more into their.....actions so I'll leave what they did to your imagination. XD

So Risa wants them to know?  :O.... and there goes the rated part that the kids shouldn't even be seeing..  XD

Gaki-san, if the kids so you now (specifically in the alternate) then I think they would all be pretty scared to look you in the eye again, except maybe Koha who would keep asking you why your doing it and Sayu who would enjoy the site waaay too much for one of the kids :drool: :w00t:

I wonder if I whip you and request more things I will get it :twisted:

I really like having Ai in the 'manlier' role like this, its gonna be weird (but so incredibly awesome) having it the other way around in Cinderella :heart:

Oh and don't write to please everyone, write to please yourself first and foremost!

@zay05ohayou: It's not that she wants the kids to see them. She's just commenting that if the kids saw what they really do, it'd be a shock because none of them could really even imagine it. Ok, that doesn't make much sense. Never mind. I'm just trying to say that the kids think of their leaders as role models and would be totally freaked out if they saw what really goes on during "leader time".
@Yukari: Gaki is hilarious. Glad the insert was satisfactory.
@lollipopgirl: They'd all be avoiding Gaki and Ai-chan! Koha is the curious one and Sayu.... XD. Well, I don't know about you, but if someone whips me, I think I'll do what they say. Yeah, to me, Ai-chan is the more manly one. But Gaki can pull it off well too. I swooned when I saw the Cinderella picture! I hate the wig but then again, I hate all of the wigs in that shot. Reina and Eri's crack me up though! XD Don't worry, I only post stories that I like. Trust me, I have tons that I've written, but ended up trashing because they sound like crap to me. But I do like writing to make ppl happy at the same time.
@ringo-hime: Mama and Papa = :heart: Insert = very fun to write!
@kRisZ: Miki-sama gotta do it! And you know, mama and papa gotta do it too! XD
@Kame: They are the best, definitely. So much real chemistry. Kakkoii ne~ :D Ganbarimasu~
@tru_harmony: Yup, sexxxy is definitely in there somewhere! Most definitely!
@shadowolf8: The bra snap was just too perfect to pass up, which is why I wrote the insert. Because I had two ideas! Can't wait for the musical!

I'll be going on a short trip, leaving tomorrow and returning on Tuesday night. I'll be back soon! So don't miss me too too much! j/k Anyway, I'll be expecting lots of comments because I won't be able to check!
............................

Peek of Plaid

Holy crap is all I can say. I can’t believe I made it to the training camp. I mean, I know what it’s all about, I was here during the last auditions but still. I’m so excited! The other girls that are here are Michishige Sayumi and Kamei Eri. Sayumi is the same age as me and is pretty nice. She’s pretty cute but a little shy. But quite possibly the shyest person I’ve ever met is Eri. Man, that chick is weird! But she’s nice, so I have to give her credit. We’ve all gotten pretty close by now. Being friends with them is kinda nice. I didn’t intend on making friends but it just kinda happened.
   Right now, we’re cooking dinner. None of us are that good so we stick to easy things like omelet and rice. Even though I suck at cooking, both of them are even worse. Sayumi is afraid of everything, from knives to the stove. So she’s really no help. And Eri…..I’m really not sure what’s up with her. She just can’t cook. Like it’s physically impossible. Damn, she just dropped a huge chunk of carrot on the floor. She can be so clumsy. Now she’s bending over to get it.

Oh, shit. I can see her panties.

     Damn that short skirt! I try to look away but my eyes won’t move. They are red and white plaid….Jesus, Reina! Get it together! I don’t think Eri would be happy to find out I’m peeking at her underwear. She’ll probably think I’m some kind of pervert. I refocus my eyes and she’s still bent over, flashing me. Why does my face feel wet? Oh my God, I’m drooling. I quickly wipe it away with my hand. I can feel heat rising to my cheeks. I’m glad Sayumi went to the bathroom.
    Finally, she got up. How long does it take to pick up a freakin piece of carrot?! Thank God she’s not facing me because I’m afraid I’d have a lot of explaining to do. Oh no, oh no! She’s turning around!!! “Hey Reina-chan, can you get me the cabbage from the fridge?”, she asks, smiling innocently. I nod dumbly but as I walk away, she catches my eye. Was that a wink?! AHHHHHHH!!!

But I’ve realized something…….I think I like plaid.

@tru_harmony: I'm a big fan of plaid, to tell you the truth. So yeah, welcome to the plaid club! I think I know what you're gonna say! XD And I wholeheartedly agree. Because I love it when you say it!
@peti-chan:  XD I love you!
@ringo-hime: Reina tends to have literal "mile a minute" thoughts when she's embarrassed or......turned on. :lol: As for Eri, well, I'll leave that to your discretion. :P
@zay05ohayou: Welcome to the plaid club too! A lot goes on in that turtle brain.... XD And Sayu.....maybe she was watching too! :D
@Kame: Me too! Tanakame is like Takagaki with different girls! Yeah, Reina knows what she likes! Eri is smarter than we all think! :P And if she did try to turn Reina on, I think she did a good job at it!
@JFC: Sadly, I am jailbait and don't have perv access. :sweatdrop: But....I did write continuations for both endings! I am in the process of trying to post them on LJ at Renai Revolution community. But my LJ is being idiotic and I can't post cuts. :doh: I will keep working on it, though. I'd like to post them here but I think I've crossed the line..... :twisted: Yup, Kame can become a close second!

If anyone wants to know what's up with the continuation of The Kids Don't Know, read the comment I wrote to JFC. So the continuation does, in fact, exist. It's just too much to post here (I think).

Post by: strawb3rrykream on July 03, 2008, 09:25:50 PM
This story is inspired by Superstar by Usher. (SHUT UP about the fact that it's Usher! :lol:) And the performance spoken about is Ai-chan's solo from the Rainbow 7 concert from 2006.
Oh, and about the The Kids Don't Know continuation, if anyone would like to help me post it in the Perv, that'd be cool. I just don't know how detailed I'm allowed to go.

.............................

Superstar

Spotlights, big stage
50,000 fans screamin in a rage
Bodyguards and limousines
This is the way I see you in my dreams


   I watch you as you perform your solo, Osaka Koi no Uta. The view from backstage isn’t as good but I’m mesmerized nonetheless. I’ve been with you since the beginning so this shouldn’t be a shock. But I’m infatuated with your stage persona. It’s always been there too, taking over your body. You change from goofy Ai-chan to sexy, seductive Ai. The looks you flash at the audience make me weak in the knees. Sure, I’ve seen those expressions during our more intimate moments but something about seeing them onstage make me lose my mind.
   I’ve been staring so long that I don’t hear the call for standby. “Gaki!”, snaps Sayumi, grabbing my arm and dragging me away from you. But I don’t need to see you with my eyes to see you in my heart. Your face is forever there, smiling at me. I can feel a grin spread across my face. “Why are you smiling like an idiot?”, Reina asks, looking at me quizzically.

I’ll be your groupie, baby
Cuz you are my superstar
I’m your number one fan
Gimme your autograph
Sign it right here on my heart


    I can hear all the fans shouting your name and jumping around. If I were out there in that sea of people, I would put them all to shame. I’d yell louder than everyone out there. I’d dance every move with you. Because I’m your number one fan.
    You complete me, for real. I know it’s cheesy and over-used, but it really is the truth. Every night that we cuddle makes me whole. Every tender kiss and touch keeps me going. Just knowing you’ll be there to catch me gives me the confidence to leap. When you whisper in my ear, I know I have a secret no one else knows. Through the bad times and the good ones, through the tears and smiles, we will have each other.

And I’ll be your groupie, baby
Cuz you are my superstar
And as your number one fan, I’ll do all that I can
To show you how super you are

@poets: Hehehe...I can see you snapping! :mon yoyo: I know I would be if I were backstage! :lol: I would say I don't usually read perv either, but then I'd be lying! :mon thumb: But my reactions are exactly the same. You shoulda seen me writing it. I was all  :kekeke: :shy1: :imdead: :mon misch: :mon duh: But I'm happy you made an exception for me. I've officially become Perv Kouhai. XD

Anyway, sorry for my crazy use of smilys. I wrote some stuff yesterday and I should be posting it tomorrow (or maybe even later tonight)

Ok, this is something totally weird. I wrote the second part before this but I felt like I had to write a backstory for it. So this is it.
................

A Vow of Perseverance

6 years ago

   “Mmm, your lips taste like vanilla”, Tanaka Reina cooed as she licked her boyfriend’s lips before pressing her own against them. His tongue squeezed into her mouth, prompting her own to move. He lay on top of her on the couch in his house. His parents were out and the young couple got bored of watching TV. Her arms curled around his neck, pulling him deeper into the kiss. His hands had been on her back but they were now coming back up to the surface. They creped up until they were resting on her chest.
    She opened her eyes and suddenly felt very uncomfortable. He had touched her like that before but she stopped him. Now, she wasn’t so sure she wanted to. Reina allowed her eyes to close again and continued to kiss him. When she didn’t protest, he began to knead her chest, coaxing a groan from her. He smiled. His hands dropped down on her stomach and reached under her black tank top.
    “Nee, Kosuke, are you sure we should do this?”, Reina spoke up, getting a bad feeling about what they were doing. “If you love me”, he replied, looking her straight in the eyes. Reina was torn. She really loved Kosuke and maybe even wanted to do this with him, but something inside of her told her it was wrong. But she ignored the feeling. “Well, I do love you”, she said, allowing him to lift her shirt over her head.
   In just a little while, both were laying naked. Reina’s eyes widened at the sight of her boyfriend’s nude form. He smiled and sucked her neck. Her head flew back and she moaned slowly. She began to feel like never before. Her body became warm in new places and she had the urge to touch him all over. Before she knew what was happening, something was poking her thighs.
    Kosuke looked at her once more. His eyes seemed to ask if she wanted to keep going, if she really loved him. Her emotions took over and she nodded with no hesitance. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain between her legs. It hurt so bad she cried out. He covered her mouth with his, masking the noises she made.
    About 5 minutes later, it was over. He collapsed on top of her, sweating and dripping fluids. She was unhappy now. It was nothing like she had imagined. Instead of pleasure, all she felt was pain. Kosuke seemed to get some of his energy back and kissed her softly. “I love you”, he whispered, “I’ll always be here for you” She believed him.
     But a few weeks later, she found out that his father had been transferred and he was going to be leaving Fukuoka. Her hands began to shake and balled into angry fists. “Why didn’t you tell me!?”, she screamed at him, tears burning her face. “I wanted to get something to remember you by”, he answered, “Because I love you” “Bullshit”, she growled, socking him in the stomach. Kosuke doubled over in pain. He looked up at her but was shocked at what he saw. She stared back, her eyes vacant and cold. “I hate your fucking guts”, was all she said before walking away.
    From that day on, Tanaka Reina didn’t trust or love anyone. Her family was an exception but any outsiders were already dead to her. She never allowed herself to open up, which left her friends wondering why she rarely spoke to them. She lived her life on auto pilot, going through the motions. Yes, Tanaka Reina was dead inside.

Until she met Kamei Eri.   
...........................

Yeah, I know. At the time of this story, Reina would be around 12 or 13. Young but I've seen worse things happen. And because of her age, it affected her a lot. Which you'll see in the second part.

Ohhh, I can't wait for the next part :D
That was pretty hard to read to start with, remembering how young Reina would have been, but then she 'socked him in the stomach' and I was all for it :lol:
I would say that guy is a wanker but I think his just a young teenage boy which is pretty self explanatory :P
How will our little turtle tame the wild kitten once more, awww :heart:

@lollipopgirl: Yeah, I was kinda afraid ppl would get mad at me for writing Reina with *gasp* a guy, especially when she was so young. But I'm happy it wasn't taken too badly. I hope it satisfies you. The next part, I mean. I'm such a damn softie! XD
@shadowolf8: I've read about the whole "if you love me" thing in magazines, so it seems to happen more often that we'd like to think.

Ok, because I don't want to keep you waiting and since I've already gotten it written, here's part 2! :D
..........................

Reassurance

   Reina lay awake at 2:30 AM. It was summer so she wore nothing but a bra and panties. The sheets were strewn around the bed. She was sweating. Tonight’s actions left her exhausted but unable to rest. It was the first time she had done anything like that since Kosuke. She could hear jazz music softly playing from her neighbor’s apartment. It normally soothed her restless mind but not tonight. She sat up slowly, not wanting to disturb the sleeping girl beside her.
   The petite girl made her way to the balcony, taking in the refreshing night air and letting it embrace her pale body. Reina put her arms on the banister and looked up at the sky. Stars twinkled on their endless quilt of navy, complementing the round moon. She stared into the continuous darkness and remembered how she used to stare at the sky as a child. She’d sit on the porch for hours, knees pulled to her chest with eyes fixed on the expansion of space. Her parents would come out and tell her to go to sleep. She’d nod but never move from that spot. To Reina, the sky was her escape. It was peaceful and quiet, no one could bother her there. She retreated there after that day. The day her heart and spirit were taken.
   She was snapped back to reality when the sound of bed springs creaking entered her ears. She turned around to see a sleepy-looking Eri, in a pink tank top and white panties, scratching her head. “Did I wake you?”, the smaller girl asked, turning her head back upwards. “A little, but I wasn’t sleeping too well anyway”, the other Rokkie member replied as she stepped onto the balcony herself. She wrapped her arms around the trim waist and nuzzled her head into the small shoulder in front of her. “Whatcha lookin at?”, she asked in a silly voice. Reina didn’t reply but her hands moved down to grasp Eri’s arms, keeping them fastened to her waist.
    They stood there, a light breeze wafting around them. “Don’t leave, ok?”, Reina suddenly said, turning to face the surprised Eri. “I won’t”, the turtle-like girl smiled, squeezing Reina’s hips to reassure her. “Seriously, I need you”, the youngest Rokkie whimpered. She leaned into the soft body and buried her face in Eri’s hair. Eri held her but became even more concerned when she felt warm tears drip onto her shirt. “Reina, what’s wrong?”, she asked repeatedly, lightly rocking the crying girl like an upset child. She slowly walked over to the beach chair on the balcony and sat down. She switched Reina’s position so she was sitting on her lap, facing her. The younger girl slumped onto Eri’s chest, tears falling steadily. The 19 year old placed her lips on Reina’s head, planting tiny kisses there. They didn’t speak anymore and fell asleep.
    Several hours later, Eri woke up to sun in her face. She blinked a few times before recalling the previous night’s events. She wasn’t exactly sure what had happened but she had a feeling something in her girlfriend’s past had conjured up those tears. Glancing at Reina, she saw that the girl was still dozing but her face was red and her eyes puffy. Eri hugged the body on her a little tighter and kissed her flushed forehead.

“I will never leave you”, she whispered.

Awww poor Reina, she has been scarred by it :(
I'm glad it's Kame though, I know she will take good care of her!
Now it's time to say poor Kame, she has no idea why Reina just lost after they did the dirty for the first time and surely that's gotta play on her mind too... I'd be so incredibly worried if I were her, but on the plus side, I would feel ever more drawn to her and want to protect more then ever :heart:

My dear, I think you are missing something here ;) I would really really love for you to continue this with a Part 1.5 or something where its how they got together and Reina struggling (I assume) about letting her guard down to be with Kame-chan and even getting to 'that night' that we just saw the aftermath of. Soooooo  :onionwhip: get to work my sweet little name stealer :twisted: :P

@shadowolf8: I thought about leaving it but I really wanted to write the ending. It's angsty fluff!!! :heart:
@Yukari: Yeah, you kick Kosuke's ass! :lol: I'm right there with you. I hate him and I created him!!!!! No way, Kame-chan don't work that way! :grin:
@ringo-hime: It's good that he's EX boyfriend so Reina can be with Kame-chan! I get what you mean. I like softy Reina as much as I like yankii Reina. I enjoy writing different facets of everyone.
@kinbari: Kosuke is just someone I made up, so no worries. :D
@lollipopgirl: You are right, Kame-chan knows just how to care for her. She is worried and wants Reina to tell her why. And she does. I kinda don't want to write an insert so I included some flashback things to what I had already written. Hopefully, that's enough. No sexxxy night aftermath for this one. I don't really know if I'd be able to write something like this.

So here's the ending.
.......................

Confessions

   About a week later, the pair were sitting on the couch of Reina’s apartment. “Man, did you see how mad Ai-chan got today?”, Eri giggled as she sipped her soda. “Yeah, she was freakin screaming at Koha and Mittsi!”, Reina laughed. They were curled up together, watching some random drama. “Well, they were pretty dumb to be so late”, the older 6th generation member said, “20 minutes is a long time” Her girlfriend nodded and looked down at her legs. Eri put her hand on Reina’s shoulder. “What’s wrong?”, she asked, a frown on her face. The younger girl took a deep breath and replied, “Remember how I was so hard to get close to when we debuted?” Eri nodded slowly. She recalled that all too well.

5 years ago
   “C’mon Reina!!”, Sayumi grinned, reaching her hand out for the other girl to grab. She ignored the gesture but began slowly walking towards the other two girls. The pink-loving kid’s smile wavered slightly but perked up when Reina joined them in the sand. They were at their first photobook shoot. It was on a beach in Okinawa. They were all supposed to be playing volleyball together but Reina was sitting on the sidelines, saying she didn’t want to. Eri couldn’t help but wonder why she seemed so cold.


   “And remember how difficult it was to get me to open up when we first started going out?”, she continued, her voice becoming quieter and laced with pain. Eri nodded again. It was one of the hardest times of her life.

1½ years ago
   “I love you Reina!!!”, Eri screamed, falling to her knees and crying. Reina stopping walking away and froze in place. She turned around to see her girlfriend of 6 months, on the ground pouring her heart out. The girl retreated to the sobbing form, embracing her. “I love you too”, she whispered, tears making their way out of her tightly-shut eyes. “Then show me”, Eri whimpered, “Let me” She looked up at the face that was forever tattooed in her heart. “But I’m broken”, Reina sniffled, “I’m no good” For the first time, the other girl smiled. “Let me be the judge of that”, she murmured, kissing the lips she loved so much.


   “And the way I broke down the other night?”, Reina asked. Without waiting for a reply, she said, “All of that happened because of Kosuke. He ruined me” Eri stared at her, confused. “Who’s Kosuke?”, she questioned, afraid of what answer she’d receive. “Kosuke was my boyfriend when I was 12.”, the youngest Rokkie member confessed, “He was also the first one I had sex with”. Her girlfriend was shocked. Her eyes widened as her mind traveled in 10 different directions. She absolutely couldn’t believe Reina had done that at such a young age.
  “You think I’m a slut, don’t you?”, were the words that burned her ears and forced her to focus again. “You shouldn’t be with me”, Reina said, tears falling freely, her expression filled with agony. “No”, Eri firmly said, taking the perfectly manicured hand in hers, “He made you do it, didn’t he?” They both sat there, crying for a moment. As soon as Reina’s head made the smallest of nods, Eri breathed out. She hadn’t realized she was holding her breath. She pulled the tiny body into her arms.
  “He said if I loved him, I would do it”, Reina whimpered, “He said he would always be there for me” The other girl felt her heart shatter at the pain she felt for her lover. “But then his dad got transferred and he went away”, she sobbed, “He just took it and left me.” “Oh, Reina”, was all Eri could say before a fresh wave of tears cascaded down her face. She could picture the girl, angry and hurt, destroying anything in her path. Just to make someone or something feel as low as herself. “That’s why it’s hard for me to open up”, Reina continued, “I don’t want to get hurt again”
     The turtle-like teen suddenly looked her companion in the eyes. “You know I won’t ever ever hurt you, right?” she asked seriously, scaring the other girl a bit with her intense tone. She nodded quickly, feeling safer than ever. Even though she had never seen Eri so serious. “Good because Kosuke can go to hell”, she said, a tiny smile playing in her lips, “Anyone who ever hurts my Reina will have to face the wrath of turtle” Reina  smiled a bit through her sadness and buried her head in Eri’s neck.

For the first time in 6 years, Tanaka Reina loved with her whole heart.

YAY, the flashbacks certainly suffice :D

Our little TanaKame have a long road ahead of them coz Reina still needs to be mended... get your sewing kit Kame-chan coz it's your job ;)

I'm not sure how successful Eri would be if she picked a fight with Kosuke if she ever saw him though, but I think it would be enough for our little badass Reina to appear and take over. :twisted:
Reina don't be scared of Eri, she'd never do that to you :cry:
I liked the 1.5 year flashback the most, Eri worked so hard to get Reina fully, now they deserve happiness! :w00t:

@lollipopgirl: Yay! I like writing flashbacks! We've never really seen Eri mad so we can't judge how much damage she could do! :D Yeah, Reina would probably go ape-shit on him, anyway. I'll think about a continuation...cuz it sounds like a challenge!!! Oh yeah, that story. I read part of it. Sounds similar to Kosuke but I do remember the other guy did worse things? :?
@tru_harmony: Take all the time you need. :love:
@Yukari: And now there's a second vote for a sequel. :lol:
@peti-chan: It's okay, the first one was a little inappropriate anyway. I kinda wish I didn't write it. Or at least wrote it differently. Kame did the damn thing! :P
@kinbari: I'm gonna take that as a compliment so thanks! :wub:
@ringo-hime: Eri's gonna be talking so much nonsense that Kosuke just kills himself. So then it's taken care of and Eri can't be in trouble for anything. I'm just kidding. Thanks, the flashbacks were very fun to write.
@Kame: Ok, I think I can do that! Eri knows how to care for her girl. Yeah, I think we have an army against Kosuke and Ishi.

I'm not sure this is ready to post but I have no beta. Hope it's okay! :P

A Long Time Coming

Takahashi Ai was frustrated.

   She and her girlfriend, Niigaki Risa had been dating for almost 2 years. They were really in love. They spent nearly every night together, cuddling and sharing a cozy bed. They would hold hands while they walk and sit next to each other every chance they got. Obviously, that was not the problem.

Ai was bothered that they had never actually done anything.

    Sure, they had kissed before. In fact, they kissed each other a lot. And there had been some occurrences in which some experimental touching has taken place. But nothing had amounted to the actual act of sex. Ai, being a normal woman, had needs and desires that would normally be satisfied by another person. But she knew Risa was rather shy when it came to anything even remotely sexual. The girl absolutely hated wearing bikinis for her photobooks. But she didn’t have a choice about that. So she would spend the bare minimum of time without a towel wrapped securely around her. Of course, Ai would never pressure the one she loved into doing anything she didn’t want to. So, nothing happened.

Until that night.

    It was late and both girls were laying in bed, reading. Ai was reading a novel by her favorite author and Risa was reading a book wrapped in a cover that she wouldn’t let Ai see. Whenever the leader would poke her head over the other’s shoulder, she would immediately slam it closed. But once, just once, Ai got a glimpse of one page. It looked like two people doing….something. But she figured her eyes were playing tricks on her, forcing her to see what she really wanted.
   Soon, both girls could barely keep their eyes open. They both turned off their lights and settled into bed. In a few seconds, Risa whispered, “Ai-chan, are you still awake?” The response was “Yeah, why?” The sub-leader didn’t reply right away. She rolled over to face Ai-chan’s pajama-clad back. “I think I’m ready”, she finally answered. “Eh?”, Ai asked, turning over to stare at her girlfriend with a confused expression. “What I mean is…”, she trailed off, her cheeks blushing a deep crimson. “I think I’m ready to…you know”, she was finally able to say.
    Ai stared at her for a few more moments, until the real meaning of the words hit her like a ton of bricks. She grinned shyly and replied, “Well, I’m ready if you’re ready” Risa smiled with relief and moved closer until her lips were on Ai’s. They kissed a little harder than ever before. Their lips crushing against each other, as if to gobble up something that could disappear at any moment. Ai let her hands wander the smooth body, feeling every curve and patch of skin. Risa’s hands followed in suit, though they seemed rather hesitant to touch the body next to her. She slowly gripped Ai’s back, feeling the skin and rubbing it softly. While Ai’s arms wrapped over her shoulders, pulling her close.
    A knee scooted up and found its way between Risa’s legs, moving up and down in a slow, rhythmic movement. She gasped and broke the kiss, surprised at how good it felt. Ai immediately stopped, afraid she began to move too fast. “I’m sorry”, she said quickly, her face flushing with embarrassment. “No, it’s okay”, the younger girl replied, grinning, “It feels nice” Ai was relieved and pressed her lips to the neck, leaving tiny kisses. Risa moaned lightly, her hands gravitating to her girlfriend’s hips.
    Both girls continued to explore uncharted territory until the deed was done. “That was amazing”, Ai remarked, arms slung around her girlfriend’s waist, “Are you sure you’ve never done that before?” Risa looked at her with mock accusation. “I could say the same for you”, she retorted, “That thing you did with…” But her words caught in her throat as Ai’s finger stroked her thigh gently.

Both agreed it was worth the wait.

Ai was bothered that they had never actually done anything.
that's understandable... some people do it after having met... two years of being together is a long time... ai is a patient lover...

Until that night.

@kRisZ: Hahaha! Don't worry, math isn't my best subject!

Ok, I actually started this before I left, but ran out of time to finish it. I got a little rambly and didn't end it ideally. So I'm only partially happy with it. And I got a little carried away with weird detail.
Oh well, enjoy! :lol:
.............................

Sunset Lovers

  “Let’s go to the beach…” Takahashi Ai suddenly said, startling the girl laying next to her. “Eh?”, Niigaki Risa groaned, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. It was too early to be talking. She attempted to cover Ai’s mouth by flinging her arm upwards but ended up smacking her cheek instead. “Ow!”, the girl in question shouted, rubbing her tender cheek and glaring. “I’m so sorry!!!”, Risa squeaked, sitting up and kissing the reddened skin. She ran her tongue slowly over the affected area, feeling it heat up as Ai blushed. “Forgive me?”, she pouted, putting on her best puppy-dog face. “Fine but you have to come to the beach with me!”, the older girl perked up. Risa nodded slowly, slightly regretting her need for forgiveness.
    Two hours later, the pair stood at the edge of Kamakura beach. “C’mon!”, Ai grinned, grabbing the hand beside and pulling her into the sand. They ran until they reached the water. Risa wiggled from Ai’s grasp and retreated into the dry sand to put down their supplies. She hurried back to her friend’s side, taking the smooth hand back into her own. They stood, gazing at the brilliant blue ocean, sparkling with sun. “Looks beautiful”, Ai mumbled, seemingly mesmerized by the view.
   When the girl was finally able to tear her eyes from the sea, she realized that Risa had grown bored and set out their towels. “Let’s go into the water!!!”, Ai declared, squatting next to her friend. “But it’s so cold!!”, the younger girl whined, her lips pursing into a frown. Ai couldn’t resist and placed her own lips onto the ones in front of her. The reaction queen, eyes wide with shock, pulled away with a small smacking noise. “We’re in public”, she hissed, looking around. There were other people on the beach, but they were too far away to notice the liplock. “Whatever”, the short-haired girl dismissed with a wave of her hand. She stood and began to uncover her bikini.
    Feeling Risa’s eyes on her, Ai carefully pulled her yellow tube top over her head to reveal the white top with blue and green design. Without looking down at the other girl, she pulled down her denim skirt and stepped out of it, adjusting the white suit bottoms a bit. “Are you coming?”, she asked, as she began running towards the water. Risa wasted no time in removing her own tube top and shorts and charged after the other.
    But the eldest Gokkie stopped short, about ankle deep into the cool ocean. The youngest of 5th generation wasn’t paying attention, knocking into Ai’s body and collapsing on top of it. She quickly rolled off and pulled her friend up from the water. “Are you okay?”, she asked, holding the extremely wet girl in her arms. She began mumbling nervously, apologizing. Ai rolled her eyes and lightly shoved the girl holding her backwards. “Waaa!”, she screeched, falling into the water. Ai began to laugh at the shocked looking face.
   Risa didn’t think it was funny at all. But she had a plan. Holding up her hand, she knew her friend would grab it to help her up. When she did, Risa pulled hard and Ai landed next to her with a splash. That was enough to start an all-out water war. Ai cupped her hands and flung a handful of water into Risa’s face. “Oh hell no…”, she declared,  flicking her hands across the water and onto Ai’s flat stomach.
   They continued playing around until somehow, Risa ended up straddling Ai’s waist in the water. Both girls’ faces slightly flushed at their position, but neither made any move to change it. The cool ocean water contrasted with the heat flowing between their bodies. Without any hesitation, Risa lowered her lips onto Ai’s, pressing them closer together. Her arms cut through the water and encircled the waist underneath her. Ai wanted so badly to hold her lover but needed her arms to keep them above the water. “How about we move this up some more?”, she breathed as Risa stroked her back, tickling with her long nails.
    The younger girl reluctantly stood up and pulled Ai with her. They splashed as fast as possible to their towels. Ai laid down onto the blanket and held her arms open. Risa obliged and sat on top of the girl, reclaiming her lips. Ai’s fingers creeped up and traced the water drops from Risa’s neck, down her chest and stomach. They went up again, this time stopping on Risa’s bikini strap. She could feel the face against her redden as she tugged playfully. She yanked the string over and over until the bow at the back of Risa’s neck came lose and the top landed on her own chest with a light slap. Ai broke away from the kiss and pushed Risa’s body up slightly.
   Salty fingers traced curves and touched hidden places. Hot breath was felt on damp skin and low groans echoed through their ears. A pair of wet bikinis lay forgotten next to them in the sand. Birds chirped in the trees as both girls came down from their high, sweaty bodies braced against each other. Risa’s tongue slipped out from between her bruised lips and lapped at Ai’s neck, tasting the skin. It reminded her that they were in fact, laying naked at a public beach. She freaked out a bit at the thought and tried to retrieve her clothing from the sand. But Ai distracted her with a squeeze. “Look forward”, she whispered, pronouncing each word slowly and with purpose. The deep brown eyes turned up towards the sparkling sea and a gasp escaped her lips. Right in front of them was a magnificent sunset.
   Shades of red, orange, pink and blue danced across the horizon, streaking the sky. Both girls smiled in awe at the beauty of nature. The pair cuddled, the skin-on-skin contact both relaxing and exciting them. “Aren’t you glad we came to the beach?”, the older girl whispered. Risa nodded, getting lost in the moment.

A moment of true happiness.

It's so sweet that they just forgot about everything and everyone around them and lost themselves in each other... sooo romantic  :mon lovelaff:
And then you had to go add the sunset too, making it even more sweet and romantic... Wait a minute, sunset? Holy crap, they were going at it for ages :rofl: XD

So let me guess, they next story you write will be about TakaGaki being Friday'd with pics of them on a beach together? :P

I'll let you decide whether they took a break or kept it going! Good idea, but not too sure I could pull it off. Thank you very much. This community makes me filled very loved!
@kinbari: Thank you! The title is very....explanatory! But I'm glad you guys like it!

This story was inspired by the song "Better Days -Sweet Love Side-" by Kato Miliyah. It is a great song, btw. I was listening to her Tokyo Star CD as I went to sleep last night and it sort of haunted me. I got this story in my head and wrote it out this morning. I, myself, was kind of in a weird mood so our narrator suffers from something similar.
......................

Better Days

 It’s dark now. I sat on my couch, with the TV off, thinking. This was happening a lot lately. Perhaps I just had a lot to think about. Like the wrenching pain in my chest. It was so bad, I could barely focus on every day activities.

But it was weird because I was in love.

   Yup, I was bitten by that cursed love bug. Its poison absorbed into my blood. In my eyes, she was the perfect human being. She could do no wrong. But for some reason, as much as I loved her, I hated her. I wanted to be in her arms but at the same time, as far away from her as possible. My mind was swirling, I couldn’t make a decision. It was as if my brain and heart weren’t connected at all.
   I curled my bare legs under my body, polka-dotted boxer shorts riding up. I leaned back into to cushions as my head tipped up towards the ceiling. Why did I feel this way? Why was I ruining the best thing that has ever happened to me? My fists clenched as I grew more and more upset with my own stupidity. These feelings only increased the throbbing of my heart. I knew she would hate to see me like this. That her maternal side would show as she gently asked me what was wrong. She would gasp as I told her that I thought about cutting my wrists last week. I chickened out, of course, but she would hug me even tighter and scold me for thinking foolishly.
   All of a sudden, my eyes stung and wet trails formed down my face. Damn, I thought bitterly, I’m crying. I wiped the tears away with the backs of my hand. It was embarrassing even in my own home. I stood up and walked into the kitchen.
    The white tile was cool on the soles of my feet. I padded over to the cabinet in which I stored my dishes. Slowly opening it, I reached my hand all the way to the back and closed my fingers around something. I pulled out the bottle of wine that I keep hidden. Everyone knows I’m not a fan of alcohol, even though I’m perfectly legal. But I keep this baby for times like these, when liquor is your only friend. Popping the cork, I grabbed a wine glass and poured the crimson liquid slowly. I watched the deep color fill the clear vessel until it was about halfway.
   Carrying my glass, I made my way to the bedroom and on to the veranda. It was a tiny platform, just big enough for a small laundry line and a few potted plants. I stood, wine in hand, gazing at the lights of Tokyo. It was a pretty sight but my heart still ached for something more.

“Here’s to the better days”, I dryly remarked, raising my glass to the moon and sipping the blush-colored drink.

I'm gonna be a sheep by following everyone else and not make any guesses till we get a part 2 :P
But I will point out the two things that clicked with me and made me go "hmmm, so it's ... & ...", I wonder if they were intentional or I am reading into things too much again :lol:

I knew she would hate to see me like this. That her maternal side would show as she gently asked me what was wrong.
Hmmm!

Everyone knows I’m not a fan of alcohol, even though I’m perfectly legal.

sooo, where is the next part so I can stop hmmming ;)
Oh and other than that, despite the sad side, it was very sweet as well... or at least I thought it was :heart:

@poets: OMG. Your response is exactly what I thought when I finished it! :lol: I really like it too! I think it may be the best thing I've written so far. About names, I may have to mention some soon....or not. Thank you! :heart: Your comment made me smile ear to ear! :grin:
@JFC: Look what you started! XD Now everyone wants part 2. Guess I better get to work.
@tru_harmony: :lol: You make me laugh! It could be sexxxy somewhere.
@shadowolf8: Hmmmm..... :lol:
@lollipopgirl: DAMN YOU!!!! XD You picked up on the shit I was hoping no one would so I could change the characters! :P But if I'm thinking what you're thinking (And I'm sure I am), that's what it started out as. But now, I'm having doubts and want to change it. But I'm not sure it'll work now. So you all will have to wait until I make a decision!!!!! :wahaha:

Well, my loyal readers, I'm sorry to say...I have writer's block! :( :mon wtf: It's my indecisiveness that's not allowing me to continue. So please bear with me as I try and decide what to write. I just felt like replying to comments! But all my readers (and anyone else) that didn't comment, feel free to. Don't think you've missed the comment-answering boat! :mon evillaff:

Don't make me bring out my whip :twisted:

@lollipopgirl: Yeah, I do love you! But sometimes.... :D My pairing feels, how do I say this, far-fetched? Like I have no idea how I'm gonna make it happen but I'll try my best! Ganbarimasu!!! *does Gaki's fist pose thingy*
@Yuuyami: To me, it's new but I don't think I've ever read about it either. It's okay. I was a little freaked out at first but then I saw all the laughing things. XD

Stay frosty, my readers!! I will be out for most of the day but may get it up by tonite if I can figure out how to connect these ppl to each other!!!!!! :doh:

I'm excited... who is it, who is it??

Somehow... I had to think about the pic of Ai-chan in the buisness suit holding the wine glass, when you mentioned the wine

NOOOOOOO :frustrated: A writer's block... That's something I hate too... Right now I'm having one on my main TanaKamei story "Watashi ga Tsuiteru"

I hope that your block will go away soon...

@Kame: Hmmm, perhaps you are right? Took me long enough but it finally left me alone!
@kRisZ: Yeah, I think it might be fun to do those things in public! Live on the edge! XD

5 DAYSSSSSSSSS! It took me 5 days to write this shit! XD Hopefully, it's good and ppl like it. I tried, I really did! :heart:

.....................................

Better Days: Part 2

Walking, I’m just walking. It gets darker and darker. “I thought you loved me…” her voice rings out. I look around for the source, for her sweet eyes smiling at me. I see nothing. “But you were gonna go away…” she continues, as I frantically scour the emptiness. “Where are you?” I ask. Suddenly, everything lights up and she’s standing before me, all in white. “You were gonna kill yourself and leave me”, she accuses, her kind face hardening with hurt. “No…I could never leave you”, I plead. “You’ll never leave me…” she smirks, “Because I’ll leave you first” With that, she begins to run towards a cliff. “Noooo!” I scream, charging after her. She reaches the edge and turns to face me. “Bye, my love”, she mocks and leaps into the nothingness. I don’t hesitate as I run right after her.

Falling…
Falling…


    I smacked my arm down onto the mattress hard as my eyes flew open. It was just a dream. Again. The 4th this week. Sweat drenched my body and sheets. I realized that my other hand was gripping my pillow so tight that my knuckles were white. Releasing my fist, I pushed myself up into a sitting position. I also noticed my breathing was heavy, like I had just run a marathon and my heart was pulsing in my chest. “Calm down”, I whispered to myself, “It was just a dream”
    I rose from my cotton prison and stretched my arms over my head, yawning sleepily. My peach T-shirt was damp and rubbed uncomfortably against my skin. I pulled it over my head and carelessly threw it on the floor. My heart was still pounding as I entered the bathroom and glanced at myself in the mirror. God, I looked like shit. My skin was extremely pale and sick-looking. My hair was flat and plastered to my neck. Observing myself made me think of her again. It was something she did all the time, peering into the mirror at her own face.
   I chuckled weakly. She was taking over my mind, like a drug. Oozing into every crevice and controlling my every thought. I loved her so much yet…… something was gnawing at my heart. Like it was all a lie. Maybe I was only with her because no one would suspect it. We were both romantically linked to our best friends, both by fans and fellow H!P members.
    Grimacing at my horrible, cynical thoughts, I stripped and entered the shower. The cold water poured over my curves and tiny goosebumps popped up on my skin. My mind began to wander as I lathered up my hair. I cut my hair to be like her. I mean, I loved my hair long but she always looked so sophisticated with that little bob. The soap caressed my bare skin and was washed away by torrents of rain-like drops.
    For the second time in two days, I cried. Though, this time, I was not embarrassed in the slightest. Yet the same questioning feeling was still there? How could I love someone so much and want nothing to do with them at the same time? Why was my heart both welcoming and rejecting this love? It hurt to be away from her but it was painful to be with her. My confused tears mixed with the shower water, both falling steadily.
     I shut off the water and wrapped myself in a fluffy white towel. Walking past the mirror, I snuck a peak at my tear-stained face. My eyes were now red-rimmed and shiny, brimming with tears. For some reason, I smiled crookedly at the image, my mouth curling up slightly. It was the perfect image of my soul. Crying and in pain but still able to fool with a common smile. My feet carried me off the slick tiles and to the bookshelf near the balcony door. My right hand shot out and pulled pale green album from the 2nd shelf.
     It was your average plastic album, cold in my hands. Opening the cover, I placed my hand over the letter stuck within the protective sheets. It was a love letter she had written me, when I was having a bad week. The pinkish stationary featured hearts and angel wings. I read the note out loud, transferring myself back in time…

Dear Ai-chan,

Heard you were having some trouble with work. Don’t ask who told me cuz you know I’ll never tell. ^__^ You’re too hard on yourself, you know? I noticed that even before we started dating.
RELAX~ Stop stressing about things you have no control over.
I love you no matter how many times you mess up or forget a step or line. You’re perfect just the way you are, mistakes and all. In fact, I like that you make mistakes. Proves you’re not an alien! :D
Just wanted to let you know the most important person in the world can screw up without the world ending!

Love, your angel/girlfriend


     She slipped it into my bag so I couldn’t open it until I got home. The night I read it, I cried tears of joy. Pure joy, without the doubt that currently plagued me. I was so happy to hear that she loved me for me. Previously, I was worried about what she thought of me. Her, being such a big shot, might not like the little, boring me. But my fears were soothed and put to rest forever. I can remember to the feelings of relief and satisfaction, but they’ve left me now. All that’s left is a tiny bit of hope, being suffocated by pain and agony.
     I flipped to the last page, closing my eyes before looking at the lone picture. It was us, on our last date. We went to the zoo, like a couple of teenagers. I smiled, recalling how she was afraid of the tigers, who were growling loudly. Gripping my hand, she dragged me away. I had giggled at her actions, but held her in my arms, making sure she was alright. I can feel her body pressing into mine, curves fitting just right. I was not sure if my crying had ever ceased, but now, it was in full swing. Tracing the little caption I wrote with my nail, I whispered the words:

Aya-chan and Ai-chan: Forever

I want to believe, I can believe…
I can return to the better days……

:stunned: :stunned: :stunned:

The part that said "We were both romantically linked to our best friends" somewhat narrowed down the choices, but still...TakaMatsu? MatsuTaka? Ai-ya? AyAi?

It's sweet/cute, even though it's not exactly what one would usually expect. :roll:


You DO realize that you must continue this as we readers now demand details. :cow:

YES! I've been waiting for an Aya/Ai pairing. They're both the same age and hot ... I've always wondered why no one has tried it before~ :mon huh2:

Honestly, I thought it was going to be another TakaGaki and I'm sure it was going to be XD

I had to come out of the shadows. I've been a lurker for too long. I love your stories strawb3rrykream  :heart:

@tru_harmony: :lol: Yeah, you read it right. 86ers! You're welcome! :heart:
@JFC: To tell you the truth, my first instinct was Ai-ya!!!! How Chinese of me! (but I'm Japanese.... :lol:) MatsuTaka sounds like a mushroom and TakaMatsu is the last name of my mom's friend. Oh, I know. It's been hell trying to think of back stories! XD
@Ai.love: Your name is so cute! I wonder too... It was gonna be Takagaki but I write waaaay too much of them! XD Thanks for commenting! The pics are :inlove:
@kinbari: Well, the idea came from the actual pairings I thought of writing. It was at first gonna be Takagaki, but then I thought about GAM. But then lollipopgirl requested a new pairing! So I made a random pairing from those two combined. But Gaki and Aya is a little too weird, imo. Or maybe that just makes it more challenging!
@peti-chan: Oh, perhaps you were on the same beach that they were? :? :twisted: Glad you like the Ai-ya! XD That's gonna crack me up everytime! And yes, the first part is Ai-chan's POV.

Man, this was hard! But hopefully..... :heart:
...............................

Better Days: Part 3 ~To Begin to Love Someone~

It all started on that fateful day.

Six months ago

    “Kanashimi ga koda masuru…”, I hummed as I strolled down the hall to my dressing room. I was lucky to have a bit of free time before taping. As I turned the corner, a strange noise caught my attention. It was the quiet but unmistakable sound of someone sobbing. Not wanting to take a chance that it was of my girls, I pushed open the door.

There sat Matsuura Aya, head in hands, crying her eyes out.

     I hoped she wouldn’t hear the door and I could easily retreat, but no such luck as she turned to face me. “Umm..uh, I’m sorry to bother you”, I stuttered nervously, trying to back out slowly. “No, it’s me who should apologize”, she sniffled, looking slightly embarrassed, “Please, sit down” My body obeyed as my feet shuffled over the carpet to the leather love seat. I hesitated before sitting down next to her.
     Silence floated around us, weighing down the atmosphere. Though we were the same age, I always felt so young around Aya-chan. She just exudes this aura of maturity. “Can I talk to you about something?”, she suddenly asked, surprising me. “Uh, sure”, I answered, turning to face her. “Have you ever been in a relationship where there are so many problems that you should just break up but it’s something you just can’t let go?”, she asked me. I could see the darkening of her eyes and it scared me. “Yes…”, I began but trailed off.

I knew exactly what she was talking about.

     Our conversation built up as she told me of the issues she and Miki-chan had. They loved each other dearly but both had such pride that they couldn’t admit any weaknesses, even to each other. Obviously, that made for some problems. I just listened to her, not trying to fix anything, but giving her the support she so clearly needed. In fact, their relationship reminded me of my own turmoil. Gaki-san and I weren’t doing too well ourselves. But our problem was the exact opposite: both of us were afraid about pushing the other too hard. I told her so and she patiently lent me her ear.
     We talked for roughly an hour, because she had vocal practice. As she left, I looked at the floor, with tears in my eyes. Finally, I had found someone who knew what I was going through. Her footsteps stopped and I looked up. “Thanks for listening, Ai-chan”, she flashed me that beautiful smile and kept walking. It was the smile she saved only for Miki-chan. I blushed, both from flattery and something else.


     From that point on, we met up every other week or so. Sometimes a café, sometimes my place or hers. And we talked for hours at a time about everything. From our relationships to work to random things we heard or read. I was surprised at how much we had in common, besides our careers, agency and age. In fact, I was most surprised at how comfortable I was with telling her everything. She didn’t seem to hold back either. Our meetings were secret, in the sense that our lovers didn’t know. But that didn’t mean we were doing things that they should be worried about.

That is, until Gaki-san dropped a bombshell on me.

Four months ago

     “Nee, Ai-chan”, I heard my girlfriend say, “We have to talk” I had been reading a magazine in her bedroom and she was doing something else in the living room. The bed creaked as she sat down next to me, seemingly waiting for me to look up. I rolled off my stomach and faced her, grabbing her hand like always. She grinned weakly and squeezed my hand, but slipped it out afterwards. I must have had an expression of confusion because she just started to cry and told me the truth: she had been cheating on me with Kamei Eri for almost 2 months. Which was roughly the same amount of time I’d been hanging out with Aya-chan. Gaki-san confessed that she knew I was seeing someone else and it upset her so much that she just wanted to get back at me.
     “Wait, where are you going with this?”, I asked, as I cried. I wasn’t sure why she was telling me all of this. “I’m sorry Ai-chan”, she whimpered, “But I think it’s better if we go back to being best friends” My heart stopped in my chest as I looked her square in the eyes. She was breaking up with me?! “Ai-chan, say something”, Gaki’s voice pleaded. It sounded so far away, so distant. “I wasn’t cheating on you”, I replied, the iciness of my voice shocking both of us. My body floated out of the room and outside of the building. I felt like I was watching myself from the outside. Like Takahashi Ai no longer inhabited that body.
    By now, it was no secret where I’d end up. I was afraid to knock on her door, yet afraid to be anywhere else. She opened the door, gasping at my disheveled and sorrowful appearance. Pulling me into the house, Aya interrogated me, trying to find out why I had turned up at her home crying. It took hours for the words to escape my lips. When they did, she simply held me. No speaking, no words of reassurance. Just arms around my body, pressing me into her. My eyelids slipped and sleep took over my body.  But when I came to, I was in shock.

Aya-chan was right in front of my face, kissing me on the lips!


     After that day, we were never the same. Everything seemed to fall into place for us to get together. Shortly, Miki-chan and Aya-chan broke up, vowing to stay best friends. That gave me the confidence to go to Gaki and tell her that it’s ok and being friends would be great. It turns out that she broke up with me in order to date Kame-chan. I was a little shocked, but happy for them nonetheless.

But just a few weeks ago, our happy relationship arrangement was silently shattered.

I still love it even though it's soo sad~  XD

I feel for Takahashi the most. Poor Ai~ she got cheated on and then her relationship with Aya didn't work out. She still feels like crap ever since she broke up with Aya and then Risa broke off with her just because she wanted to be with Kame ....  now that's harsh~  :O

I wonder what happened between Ai-ya .....  maybe a part 4 will help me figure it out?  :mon mischief:

OH...MY...GAH!!! (Ok, when I typed that my computer screen started flashing up and done real fast... You even shocked and traumatized an inanimate object... nice work :P)

You got me all teary eyed, not only did you break lil' Ai-chan's heart once but you did it twice :cry:
Gaki cheated on her!? :stunned: Wooow, I wasn't expected that... Drifting apart and becoming just friends again, maybe, but cheating :o
H!P is kinda messed up :lol: Everyone is all over the place and swapping partners etc... naughty girls!
But, yes, Poor Ai-chan... In her vulnerable state she falls for Aya and then after only a few weeks her world comes crumbling around her once more  :mon cry: I really hope Gaki had the balls to stand by her and be the strength she needed after the 2nd heartbreak  :mon mad: *glares in Gaki's direction*
No wonder she turned to the bottle in part 1  :mon surr:

As painful as Better Days may be to read, it is beautifully written my dear, you're doing an amazing job :heart: I'm proud to see you extended in to my then oneshots, maybe one day you will slowly work your way up to feeling like writing a real long one :twisted: But even if you don't, as long as you don't stop writing :wub:
Oh the new pairing of Aya/Ai (Ai-ya :rofl: I like it!) was all great and I loved it, till I realised it left Ai-chan broken :lol:

@tru_harmony: Cheating is inevitable, even in the idol world. It's bound to happen sometimes. Glad sadness works for you!
@JFC: :lol: For some reason, your choice of smilies makes me laugh, especially the second one! Anyway, gotta keep y'all guessing!
@Ai.love: Yup, Ai-chan really is the victim here. As for what's gonna happen next, you just need to keep reading!
@peti-chan: Thanks! And thank you for nominating me too! Part 4 is here! :heart:
@kinbari: I'm from California in America.

@shadowolf8: Glad you like! :lol:
@lollipopgirl: OHOHOHO! I can even freak out inanimate objects! XD I know, I feel a little guilty, doing such bad things to Ai-chan! I'm sure if any of this "loving" goes on in H!P, cheating happens! I'm growing as a writer! I really wanna write a long one and I may be working my way up! But for now, I'll stick to these. :heart:
@kRisZ: You will find out... :D Because life isn't so simple!

Finally!!!! Part 4!
.................................

Better Days: Part 4 ~I Don’t Want This to Make Me Cry~

Just thinking about what went down that day hurts me. As if it happened 10 minutes ago. I sat on my bed, laying back and letting my wet hair soak into the blankets. My eyes closed and the memories surfaced.

Three weeks ago

     “I had fun today, Ai-chan!”, she grinned at me, lacing our fingers together. We walked slowly out of the zoo and into the city streets. It was getting dark, as the streetlights were illuminated one by one. I smiled back, thinking of all the fun we had. The best part though, besides the koalas, was holding her hand. Aya-chan’s hand was always so soft and warm. “Let’s take a picture!”, I squealed, pulling her towards the kids’ playground around the corner. I dragged her up onto the slide and we sat down at the top, not worrying about delaying children because of the hour. Throwing my arm around her neck, I pulled her close and poised the camera in front of us. “Say cheese!”, I smiled, flashing the ever present peace sign. Aya revealed that famous smirk and threw up the sign as well. I checked the picture and we giggled at ourselves. Deciding to take some more, we posed and cackled for a long while. By the time we calmed down, holding our stomachs, it was very dark.
     Our hands were clasped together again as we sat in our taxi. We decided Aya-chan’s place would be best as it was closest to our current location. Both of us only had work in the afternoon so we had the time to sleep in and hang out. We paid the fare and entered Aya’s huge building. “Good evening Ms. Matsuura and Ms. Takahashi”, the elevator attendant greeted us and pressed 25. I could see him avoid looking at our intertwined hands. Once we arrived in Aya’s apartment, she shoved me onto the couch and straddled my hips slowly. “I’ve wanted to do this all day”, she whispered dangerously, her tongue tracing the shape of my ear. I shivered involuntarily and put my hands on her back, rubbing up and down.
     We fooled around for a while, not really making any effort to remove any clothing. The only person I’d ever done that with was Gaki-san and I’d seen how that turned out. Perhaps Aya and I would wait until we’ve been together longer. I was brought back to the present when she gave my chest a final squeeze through my shirt and sat up, still on my hips. I peered into her eyes, those deep and expressive orbs. I saw a hint of wanting but it was gone in a flash, replaced by kindness. “So what are you doing tomorrow at work?”, Aya asked, sliding down my legs and onto the soft cushions. “Let’s not talk about it, okay?”, I replied, “It’s nothing much” Hoping she’d sense my desire to talk about something more important, I began to straighten up my clothes, wrinkled from our previous escapade. “I’m doing vocal training”, she began, “Preparing for my new single!” I winced when she continued the conversation and could detect the smile on her small face.
     “I said I don’t want to talk about it”, I snapped, sounding a little meaner than I liked. I just wanted to enjoy my time off, discussing personal things rather than work as usual. She was quiet for a few seconds, the tension growing. Timidly, my eyes rose to meet her face, praying she wasn’t crying. But in fact, she had a slight smirk mixed with a pensive look. “Ah, I see why you don’t want to talk about work”, she spoke up, looking into my eyes and nodding. Something about the way she looked at me in that moment made me uncomfortable. “What do you mean?”, I nervously asked, regretting letting the thought escape my lips  as soon as I said the words. “I mean, that you don’t want me to talk about all the things I do as a soloist”, she responded, her smile unintentionally taunting me. “Eh?”, was my query. I honestly had no idea where she was going with this, for the second time in my life. I felt a terrible twisting in the pit of my stomach, as if this conversation was gonna end similarly to the last one I had of this nature. “It’s okay to be a little jealous, Ai-chan”, she said seriously, “I always thought Tsunku should get you out of that group and turn you solo”

What.The.Hell!?

     I was absolutely floored. Matsuura Aya, Japan’s Idol and my girlfriend, thought I was jealous of her career?! That was absurd and I couldn’t help but get a little pissed off at such a ridiculous assumption. Ok, a lot pissed off. “Are you kidding me?!”, I shouted, standing up and staring her down. By her reaction, I knew I was channeling Miki-chan herself. “N-no need to get mad”, she stuttered, “I think it’s kind of cute” I stared at her with an expression of shock and fury. I mean, I knew she was rather self-centered but this took the cake. “I would never be envious of you”, I growled, “I love Morning Musume with all my heart” “C-c-calm d-down please”, she whimpered, curling back into the couch, fear clearly surfacing in her eyes. “Fuck you, Matsuura”, I spat, “It’s over” I slammed her front door and walked out into the night.
    That night, I had my heart stomped on and demolished for the second time. I took off running, tears spilling out. They flew from my cheeks and settled behind me in the darkness. With no plan of where to go, I ended up in another children’s park. My legs carried me to the swing set where I collapsed and allowed my voice to emerge. “AHHHHHH!!!!!!!”, I shrieked, my head lolling forward. My grip on the swing chains tightened as I kicked at the dirt. “Why!!!”, I yelled again, strings of drools slipping down my moistened skin. I cried freely, not caring how loud I was being. Hell, I didn’t even know what time it was. After letting my emotions out for a while, I stumbled home, still crying. It took me 10 minutes just to get the damn front door open. I tripped to the bedroom and landed face first on my bed.

“Why?”, I murmured, before losing myself to sleep.


     For the next week, I was, to put it lightly, a wreck. I was late for everything, meetings, practices, rehearsals. I was barely there, simply going through the motions of living. All the girls were concerned, never having seen their leader so out of it. Gaki-san was glued to my side, reminding me what needed to get done. She really is the best friend and sub-leader I could ever have. I had to give credit to Kame-chan too, for letting this go on. She wasn’t jealous at all, or at least didn’t show it. Gaki kept asking me what was wrong but I couldn’t bear to tell her. The guilt would definitely kill her and I couldn’t let that happen. So my answer was always, “Not feeling too good, that’s all”
     Work was bad enough but my time alone….that was my lowest time. Everywhere I looked, her face was there. It just wouldn’t leave me alone! I tried my best to ignore it, busying myself with other things. I even banged my head on the vanity in the dressing room, trying to escape her torture. It cut my head open a bit and luckily, Reina found me just minutes later. The girls decided to form a “Leader Watch”, where at least one person would be with me at all times. It was annoying but at least her voice couldn’t bother me.

I didn’t want to cry, but the memories of her…..  I pushed myself up into a sitting position, quickly wiping my eyes. Catching a glance of my wrist, another memory pushed itself forward from the very back of my mind.

I'm sure if any of this "loving" goes on in H!P, cheating happens! I'm growing as a writer! I really wanna write a long one and I may be working my way up! But for now, I'll stick to these. :heart:
GASP! Don't say that :( Stop being such a realist... it's way more fun in fantasy world where all the girls are happily in love and nothing bad happens to their relationships... ever :P
Yes you are growing as a writer... Better Days is showing that better than anything else could!  :monk gboy:

Quote
“Fuck you, Matsuura”, I spat, “It’s over” I slammed her front door and walked out into the night.
Surprisingly, Ai-chan is mighty hot there! :drool:

Ai has so much to give and no one to give it to :cry: What is wrong with these people :angry:
I'm with Ai, I knew Aya was self-centred but that's looow... although I figure she doesn't really see Ai the same way Ai sees her anyway... Replacement for Mikitty maybe?

Quote
"Why?”, I murmured, before losing myself to sleep.
Coz you're just to awesome and everyone you're with feels insignificant compared to you, thus they push you away :gmon heartu:

I'm really really glad Risa stayed by her side, at least maybe Ai could feel she wasn't completely abandoned when Gaki left... Too bad if Kame was jealous, she would deserve it anyway... Stop being so nice Ai-chan :angry:

Btw, after all this angst (which you're doing really well hun) you so owe us some fluff :P

Bwah! I think Better Days is your best work so far. Aya's my favorite but she can be a little self-centered and that can be a little "frustrating" sometimes XD Totally wasn't expecting Ai to go off on Aya though, too bad Ai-ya couldn't control themselves. Geez~ Ai is going through all of this pain and misery .... you know what would make her feel better!? Some FLUFF, that always seems to do the trick or ......   :roll:

Yay for another chapter! :heart: Aww~ they didn't even have sex ...... hmmm maybe I'm wrong?  :gmon hot:

Damn right! I couldn't agree more! :bingo:

“I would never be envious of you”, I growled, “I love Morning Musume with all my heart”

I like this line :) Ai-chan seems to me like a person who really cares for her band and she certainly wouldn't be envious of Aya's solo career ;) And Aya is just a narcissistic fool! :angry:

I can't wait for the fifth part...I wonder if Ai-chan will finally find her happiness... :mon pray2:

@lollipopgirl: Ok, fine! I'll keep the dreams and hopes alive! :lol: I think I've written my best yet. Angry Ai-chan is :mon blood: Aya is......well, you'll see. Gaki will always be there for her, no matter what! And Ai-chan is (almost) always nice, she just can't help it. Nice country girl! :mon innocent: There's a lil fluff... :mon cigar:
@Ai.love: Thanks! So I wrote Aya ok? Because I like her but I'm not terribly familiar with her personality. Had to do a lil research. You all and your fluff requests! :mon evillaff: Nope, no sex. As much as I like (WRITING~ :mon impatient:) sex, it just didn't feel right.
@tru_harmony: I hope you don't mind me asking but why were you at the dump? Clearly Aya doesn't know Ai-chan as well as she should.
@peti-chan: Ai-chan kakkoii ne~ :mon mischief: Ai-chan will do anything for Momusu.
@x_sleepyhead: Part 5 has arrived. Depends on what you're thinking... :lol:

I had trouble writing this, really. So many possible ways to go on.
....................................

Better Days: Part 5: ~I Won’t Be Able to Forget~

It all happened so fast.

One week ago

     I was lying on my couch, short hair flat and splayed across the cushion. I could hear Kame-chan singing Ai to Taiyou ni Tsutsumarete in the kitchen. She came over to “keep me company” but the real reason was it was her turn for “Leader Watch”. I was glad that we were still on good terms because I like her. She’s really cute and extremely hilarious. “Konna suki ni naru no hen na kanji…”, she hummed as she brought me a tray of lunch. It was a bento from the convenience store but she made it look all nice and homemade. “Sorry, I can’t cook”, she grinned, looking slightly embarrassed. “Don’t worry about it”, I replied, thinking how damn cute she looked. I sat up, fluffed my hair and began to eat. “Crap, I forgot to buy drinks”, Eri moaned, face palming. She decided to go back out and get some tea. “Don’t do anything bad, ok?”, she warned, pulling her jacket on and shutting the door behind her.
     I took a few bites of rice from the tray. Chewing slowly, I thought about my situation: I was sitting on my couch, alone in my apartment. My heart was shredded and life wasn’t worth living anymore. Before I could stop myself, I had gotten up, made my way to the kitchen and grabbed a shiny knife from the utensil drawer. I looked at the blade, thinking of how sharp it was. How cold the metal would feel in my wrist as I sliced into my flesh. My mind was clouded yet something deep down screamed for me to take notice of the good things in my life. All the reasons not to go through with it. But the hurt overpowered my common sense and reason. Poising the blade over my right wrist, I pressed it down and it formed a large gash. Blood began pouring out but I felt no pain. Doing the same thing to the other wrist, I was growing weak from the loss of the necessary fluid. The knife slipped from my weak fingers and landed on the kitchen tiles with a clang. I heard the front door open but before I could say anything, my body hit the floor.

“Ai-chan!!!!!”, was the last thing I heard before everything went black.

     “Koe wo kikasete hoshii, yakusoku shita kedo…” whispered a familiar voice next to my head. I struggled to open my eyes but my eyelids felt as heavy as boulders. “Kekkyoku watashi ga okirarezu…”, the voice sang to me again. It was so soothing that I nearly drifted back into dreamland. But something about that song, about that voice, willed me to open my tired eyes. I blinked a few times to adjust to the bright fluorescent lights of the hospital room. “Ai-chan!”, Gaki exclaimed, leaping up from her place next to me on the bed. She looked at me with a grin but it soon turned into an agonizing frown. I could see her eyes glazing over with tears as she approached the bed again. “Why the hell did you do that?!”, she chastised, her voice quivering ever so slightly. “Um…uh…”, I stuttered, “I just couldn’t take it anymore.”  “What do you mean?”, Gaki’s voice softened as concern washed over her face. Her question mirrored my own on the day she broke my heart.
     I inwardly laughed at the irony. “I’ve had my heart broken twice in 3 months”, I told her, “That’s why I did this.” She stared at me for a few moments, just looking into my eyes. Before I knew it, she was clinging to me, sobbing loudly. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry”, she mumbled over and over, her fingers tightening their grip on my gown. “I forgive you because you’re too important to me”, I whimpered, kissing her head, “But I still love her…” Even though she caused me so much pain and grief, even though she pushed me into this, I wanted her back. Gaki looked up at me, her eyes red and wide. “How can you still love her after all of this?”, she asked incredulously. “I don’t know”, I answered, looking towards the door, wishing she’d come through it.


     Within a week, my wrists were healed. All that was left were scars, a constant reminder of what I had been through. But my heart was far from mended. Gaki’s damage had been taken care of; those pieces were placed safely back. But Aya’s…..I don’t know if I’ll ever be the same. I traced my scars with my fingernail; the pale pink lines were puckered. My hair was nearly dry from the shower so I stood and headed to my closet. Dropping the towel to the floor, I clothed myself in a bra and panties before looking for something suitable to wear. After minutes of deliberation, I chose a flowy white dress and white sweater. As I dressed, I came to a revelation.

I knew how to begin the road to recovery.

Picking up my cell phone, I dialed a once familiar number.

“Hello, Aya-chan?...Yeah, it’s me…Can we meet somewhere to talk?”

End.
............................
Yup, that's the end!!! You can decide whether they get back together ot just make peace with each other.
Thank you to everyone whose been reading this. I really enjoyed writing this and I'm happy with the response I've gotten. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of many more "longer-ish" stories!
LOVE YOU ALL!!! :gmon heartu: :tama-bigheart:

^oh, i don't mind at all... :lol: ... my university has a compulsary "immersion" program for seniors... my school's a bit on the elitist side of the neighborhood so they thought of this program as a way to bridge the gap among social strata... i was assigned to be immersed at the slum area IN the city dumpsite... insane school, ne~?

anyway... i loved the whole thing... i didn't expect it to end this soon and in this manner... but GJ!!!

@tru_harmony: Ah, I see. That's interesting... :D I've never heard of anything like that. Yay, I learned something today! XD Glad you liked it! But after reading all of you guys' comments, I'm thinking I might need an epilogue! :lol:
@peti-chan: Oh, you sound disappointed! :mon whimper: Hmmm, I think I may have a plan to change that! :mon evillaff:
@heyyouhiya: Hehehe! Just wait a minute...... :mon santa2:
@x_sleepyhead: I wanted it to have Takagaki! But in the end, I didn't want to break Kame-chan's heart too. Glad you enjoyed it!

OK, OK, I get it!!! :mon lol:
Y'all want a better ending, don't you!? You want some kind of actual closure, huh? :mon determined:
Well, now I'm thinking of making an epilogue. I've sort of wanted to do it from the beginning but now, it seems like I really need it!
So soon, my dear readers, you will find out whether Ai-ya lives!!! :mon chilly:

Post by: lollipopgirl on August 06, 2008, 11:59:14 AM
Thank god there is an epilogue, I was planning on kicking you a lot if that really was the end :P
Aiiiii-chan :cry:
As much as they needed that 'Leader watch', I think Ai-chan also needed to go to that complete low before she can find her way back up again... She was just void and getting nowhere before.
I was all angry at Gaki at the start of Better Days but now, awwwwwwwww, thank god for her and her awesomeness :heart: :wub: I'm glad Ai actually told her what was wrong without biting her tongue and trying to protect Risa, they both needed that... closure?

Please don't let her and Aya get back together, I'll sit in the corner and sulk with my arms crossed and bottom lip sticking out, if you do. :( Aya doesn't deserve her, she was never in love with her, how could she be in love with anyone other than herself :lol: I'm sure she loves/ed Ai as a friend but 'tis all, damn confusion breaking Ai-chan's poor heart again. :cry:
I want Ai to talk to Aya and for them to become friends again with a good chat that will convince Ai that they aren't right together and then I want kinda a family dynamic with GakiKame and Ai-chan, GakiKame taking her completely under their wing and being the best that possibly can be for her, bringing light back into her life... she deserves happiness DAMMIT! :angry:

I <3 you :heart:

@lollipopgirl: Oh, I always enjoy reading your comments!! Yeah, she was just running in circles, not getting any closer to closure. Mmm, Gaki may have not been a great girlfriend to Ai-chan but she's certainly a great friend. I think if she tried to avoid it, that would just make her feel worse. Protecting a friend is good and all but killing yourself from the inside is unforgivable. I think she knows Gaki would want her to just say it. Well, let's just say Ai-ya turns out different from the way they begin in the part. Hmmm, I guess I really made Aya sound like she was using Ai-chan, huh? :mon huh2: Maybe a little too much... Anyway, I love you too!! You (along with everyone else) help to keep me writing! Your feedback helps me more than you know.

Without further ado, the real-ish ending! No more!!! I will NOT succumb to any pressure asking me to write more for this story!!! I'M DONE!! :mon blblbl: :mon evil:
......................................

Better Days: Epilogue ~As For One Day~

     So there I was, sitting in a small café, waiting for the girl that broke my heart. The second time, of course. When I was talking to her on the phone, I could feel my pulse increase with excitement. It had been so long since I heard her voice, her silly laugh. I just felt all warm inside, like everything was right in the world now. Sounds stupid, I know, but something about her…just makes me smile. I shouldn’t feel this way, not after what she did to me but I can’t help it.
     I wrung my hands in my lap, nervous about our first meeting since that huge fight. I looked down at my bare knees to avoid watching the door like a stalker. Was I afraid she wouldn’t come, even though she said she would? I could feel my eyes watering, tears threatening to embarrass me. Fiddling with my dress, I tried to convince myself I didn’t care if she stood me up. That it was ok if we didn’t work things out and stayed mad forever.
     “Hey Ai-chan!”, rang out her voice. My head shot up and I was staring at her, Matsuura Aya. She was just as beautiful as ever, a pale pink dress clinging to her curves. Her smile was radiant as she sat across from me, calling to the waiter and ordering an iced coffee. “So is this gonna be what I think it is?”, she asked me, turning her gaze back towards me. “Probably…”, I trailed off, suddenly wishing I didn’t arrange this. My hands clasped my coffee cup and the heat transferred to my body.
     “First of all, I really need to apologize for my behavior last time”, I said, confidence coming out of nowhere and smacking me in the face. “You’re forgiven, and I suppose I said a few inappropriate things as well”, she replied, “I don’t know what I was thinking.” We looked at each other shyly for a moment, before blushing heavily. That instance proved us both forgiven for our outbursts. “So where does that leave us?”, I asked, reaching for her hand. Her fingers closed around mine and she answered, “I don’t know but this just isn’t working.” A slight awkwardness took over and neither of us spoke for a while. Yet in that time, I came to, quite possibly, the most profound realization ever.

I was not in love with Matsuura Aya, I was in love with the idea of her.

     Not to say that I don’t appreciate Aya-chan as a friend, because I’m glad we found each other in that sense. But as lovers, it just didn’t work. We had different needs and expectations out of intimate relationships. She needed someone to listen to her and treat her like a queen. I needed someone to hold me and be there. Both of us could only do so much to help the other. When Aya-chan and I first talked, the one day in the dressing room, I felt like I had finally found someone who knew what I wanted. But in reality, I had just lost sight of it and clung to the first thing that came my way.
     “Um, Aya-chan?”, I mumbled, “I think we should go back to being friends.” “What?”, she questioned, looking a bit dumbfounded. “I don’t think we’re right for each other”, I told her, “We just want and need different things.” I went on to tell her all the reasons and thoughts that came with that epiphany. All the while, she nodded slowly, still looking mildly hurt. My heart tightened when she let her disappointment show. “I’m so sorry, Aya-chan”, I whispered, reaching over the table and cupping her cheek gently. She brushed her face against my hand like a cat and then slipped my fingers into her pale hand. “It’s ok, but can we still have our little talks?”, she almost whimpered, looking so fragile and childlike. Is that what I looked like when Gaki and I broke up? “Of course we can”, I said in what I hoped was a soothing voice. For the first time since I confessed, a small grin flowered, brightening up the room.
     We chatted for a little while longer, only parting when I realized I had dance practice. “I’m really glad you understand”, I told her. “Of course, I’ll miss you as a makeout buddy but I’m glad we can be regular buddies too”, she giggled, mostly at my quickly reddening face. I began to leave when something popped into my head. I turned back and whispered into her ear, “I heard Miki’s been lonely without you.” Not bothering to turn around to see her reaction, I left the café with a smirk on my face and a whole heart.

In the end, I’m whole, I’m healed. For now, love is not for me.

But one day…..

^ :lol: Your ReinAi love is as bas as my TakaGaki love XD

I'm very pleased with the ending :) A nice bunch of closure for lil' Lovely!
Thank you for not making them get back together, I am a little surprised that Aya was so shocked and saddened (is that even a word :sweatdrop: I think so), surely by now she figured they weren't gonna get back together, its not like she attempted to either... But I guess the shock of actually hearing it and having it confirmed hurt the most... Poor Aya-chan :(
Ai will surely find her happiness one day, she isn't about to rush into anything from now on by the sounds of it, and that was probably her biggest mistake... YAY for triumphant Ai-chan :w00t:  :mon XD: :onioncheer:

@tru_harmony: Yeah, Ai-chan will find love one day!!! You're welcome! It was fun. I totally had a Ishiyoshi idea this morning!! But I kinda forgot it now... :O Wait....wait.....I got it! It's back!! Hopefully, it'll be my next one!!
@maverickpanda: Awww thanks! You're sweet! :heart: After so many ppl making me like other pairings, I'm happy to see that I have the power to do it too!!
@peti-chan: I'm glad you're happy now!! :lol: They're good as friends but as lovers....their personalities kinda clash. Hmm, you have a good point! :lol: But like I said, I'm done! XD
@lollipopgirl: I guess everyone needs closure... :heart: Aya knew something was wrong in their relationship but she was getting a little attached to Ai-chan. Which is another one of her flaws/qualities (depending on how you look at it). But now Aya is going back to Miki, maybe, so she'll be ok. As for Ai-chan, she's taking it easy! Oh and btw, my LJ is lonely!!! And I want some more sexy fics out of you!!! :w00t:
@kRisZ: :P

This might kind of suck. I got the idea after part 2 of Better Days but didn't have time to work on it. I was pre-occupied with other things (AKA Better Days parts 3-6!) So it's not too great. Try and enjoy though! :lol:
.........................

Hitorijime

     Ishikawa Rika sat in her favorite chair, the soft white one next to the window. Her manicured feet curled under her, she turned to the pane of glass, stroking it lightly. Outside, it was cloudy, the premonition of a storm. Rika’s gaze traced the cityscape, her eyes following the sharp points. The gray sky outlined the gray buildings, creating a sort of painting that reflected in her solemn amber eyes. She sighed, her breath fogging up the glass. Her thin finger traced two characters in the haze, the name of her lover. But Rika was alone again, as usual. It was nothing new, as the 23-year-old spent most nights by herself. Sometimes waiting for those footsteps and other times pushing them from her mind.
     She knew it was her own fault, though. She had been warned countless times not to fall in love with that devil of a woman. But her heart couldn’t stay away from the alluring scent and taste of her lightly tanned skin, the feeling of her slim hands over her body. Every time they were together, she got this tingling sensation, this sense of worth. When their lips grazed each other, Rika shot to the moon. She felt special, despite knowing tons of other girls were made to feel that way by the same person. She cast a spell over them all, turning them into her lovesick puppies. They all wanted to be her one and only, regardless of the fact that they definitely weren’t. Somehow, somehow, her affection was enough to erase the other faces in their minds. Enough to make them forget, at least for a while.
     The door creaked and Rika’s ears detected the slightest of movements. She turned to see a sweaty and exhausted looking Fujimoto Miki in the entry way, struggling to remove her shoes before collapsing on her face in the living room. Rika made no move to help the woman up. She instead got up and walked past the body to the bedroom. She went into the bathroom and cleaned up for bed. Her clothing was traded for a T-shirt and pajama pants. Climbing onto the lavender sheet-clad bed, Rika resisted glancing out the open door to see if Miki still lay there. Thoughts reverting back to her contempt, she wondered exactly how many others there were. She knew of quite a few but what about the ones that were too shy or embarrassed to confess that their hearts now resided in Miki’s arms? She didn’t even hesitate to think those sorts of girls existed in their twisted relationship. No doubt Miki was able to get in the panties of the reserved ones. Perhaps even a few of the kids had experienced some new sensations at the hands of the infamous “Groping Demon”.
     Rika pulled the down comforter over her body and curled into a ball, laying on her side. Sleep came easily and soon, all that could be heard from the bedroom was soft breathing. Until, of course, Miki picked herself off the floor and settled into the bed. She moved closer and closer to the sleeping woman until they were spooning. A slender arm made its way onto Rika’s soft stomach, softly rubbing the warm skin. Rika was awake by now, but made no move to stop it from crawling up and settling on her ample chest. The hand squeezed the mound in its possession gently, earning a slight mew. The older woman wished so hard not to feel the way she did but the body never lies. The hand on her breast began a seductive massage, causing Rika to press back into the slim body behind her. Miki’s other hand, which had been dormant, snuck onto the body in front of her and slipped under the pink hem of pajama pants.
     At that point, Rika wondered if Miki knew which of her flings she was with. As pressure built up within her body, she decided she really didn’t want to know. After her release, the arms wrapped around her, pulling her close. Miki pressed her lips onto Rika’s neck, lapping lightly. “I love you”, she whispered, tickling the sensitive skin. But the older girl stayed quiet, not wanting to succumb to the temptation. “Rika-chan…”, she whined, needing to hear something from those lips. “I-I love you too”, came the quivering response. Rika didn’t want to say it, didn’t want to give up her dignity, but in the end, the body doesn’t lie. A soft whimper followed the statement, barely audible. The poor girl couldn’t hold in the pain any longer and cried out. Miki held her as the sobs got louder. She had no idea why Rika was freaking out like this.
    “Why the tears, babe?”, Miki asked after getting the emotional girl to face her. The look in her eyes was almost too painful to look at. There was no response, just a blank stare. “Rika, are you ok?”, she questioned, beginning to panic. What could be wrong with her? Silence enveloped them, except for the faint sobbing coming from Rika’s tired form. Taxis could be heard driving on the street outside, honking and revving their engines. The city sounds seemed to calm the distressed girl, her chest heaving less and cries slowing. Her face was flushed, sweaty and exhausted. Miki desperately wanted to avoid those eyes but something compelled her to gaze into them. “Why are you crying, Rika?”, she tried one last time.

“Ichinichi dake watashi ni anata no subete”, replied Rika, her voice quiet, “kono hitomi ni kudasai, hitorijime.”

The words stung but Miki knew that’s what they all wanted.

I had a feeling in the back of my mind this wasn't going to be IshiYoshi. Miki and Rika =  :shocked:
Anyone mind translating that the japanese words meant? :P I need a little help. I have to catch up with "Better Days," you wrote so many chapters *weeeeeeeeeeeeee~~~~~~~~~~*  :)

EDIT: There, I've finished. We seriously have to stop making the girls cut themseslves. I think readers will get an heart attack sooner or later XD I know I almost did while reading Part 5 :D I'm just glad Ai-chan survived. Awww she didn't end up with anyone but the day will come when someone will know how to love her. Maybe a certain Sayu someone... :P

REST OF "BETTER DAYS"
It's true that these things don't always work out as we would like them to. It's at least a nice relief that they're able to part on good terms (and the little thing Aichan did for Aya at the end was nice too. Shows that she still is important to her).

Wow at Hitorijime!!! Your CharMikitty's are always so different, whether it be mushy or angsty like this one... Poor Rika, of course she can't help but fall for Miki, despite her 'flaws', but man it must hurt... If I were her, I would feel so dirty :(
:heart:ing Miki as much as I do, I wanna see the best in her so I try to believe that she really does love Rika but she is making my job hard by not showing any of it through her actions, sex isn't love :angry:
I'm loving your writing more and more :heart: :wub:

Also deary, I know I owe you a whole heap of LJ comments and they are coming I promise, I've just had some hectic times lately, hence my mini absence from here too... Hell I even had 11 hours at uni today *dies* Anyway, I shall give your LJ loooots of love soon!!! :D

@tru_harmony: Thank you, girl! Your feedback always makes me happy! Your prayers shall be answered!! :D
@lil_hamz: Nope, I was feeling like some angsty Charmikitty! I should have put the translation at the bottom, huh? :doh: :lol: Aww, but the angst that comes with cutting is so...fun to write! But I would never make them die from it, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. On a second thought......that'd be a little interesting. Sayu and Ai-chan... :wub:
@peti-chan: Glad you liked it! Thanks for translating for me, btw! :wub:
@x_sleepyhead: I like Charmikitty! If you read poets-san's sig, that quote is from me! :lol: Obscure pairings are teh shit!!!
@kRisZ: Yeah, sad, huh? :cry:
@JFC: Aya and Ai-chan :inlove: I just can't make them hate each other! As for Hitorijime, it just proves that Rika isn't gonna let Miki get away with her crap anymore.
@lollipopgirl: Hisashiburi ne?! (Long time no see!) I like to explore Charmikitty's potential. Rika just wants to be loved and Miki was willing to give her those feelings, real or not. And it's just a bonus for Miki that Rika's hot and willing to have sex with her. (I feel so vulgar, saying these things about them!) I reeeeally love Miki too and I love to portray her as this great person on the inside but sometimes, I have to succumb to the temptation of bad Miki! I noticed that you weren't around lately. I got a little worried. But I'm glad you're okay. And so is sakura_iro!! It's not totally done yet because I'm a lazy bum but there are some pics now!!!

Hmmm, this one.....is.......kinda strange! I'm not sure it came out the way it was in my mind but I'm fairly satisfied with it! This is dedicated to tru_harmony, the girl who makes Ishiyoshi so damn love!!!! I hope I wrote them ok for you! :heart:

Future Fantasy

   “Hey, baby?”, Yoshizawa Hitomi called to her girlfriend from dining table. She was reading a futsal magazine until her black cellphone began to vibrate, signaling a text message. She flipped it open and found a message from Sugiura Nozomi, their fellow 4th generation member. It was an invitation to the Sugiura home for dinner. “Huh?”, Ishikawa Rika yelled back over the sound of running water. She was washing some dishes from earlier in the day. “Nono just invited us over for dinner tonight at 7”, Hitomi answered, entering the kitchen and proceeding to wrap her arms around Rika’s waist possessively. “Tell her we’d love to come”, the older girl smiled, “I can’t wait to see Noa-chan” Hitomi simply nodded and RSVP’d to the invite. “I wonder what it’s like, to be married”, Rika mused, drying her hands off on a pink dish towel. “Aw, that’s what every girl wants to hear”, the blond pouted, “That her girlfriend wants to go off and get married to some guy.” She turned around and started for the kitchen door, head hung. “No, baka!”, the tanned woman ran towards her, “I want to be married to you!” “Thought so”, Hitomi smirked as she turned around and lifted her girl up into her arms. “You did that on purpose!!”, Rika accused, yet wrapped her arms around Hitomi’s neck. “So what if I did?”, the other retorted, as the pair ended up in the bedroom.
     “Mmmm…stop!”, Rika giggled as Hitomi gently laid her on the bed and began kissing her neck playfully. “That’s new. Usually it’s don’t stop”, the younger teased, making good use of her tongue on the lightly bronzed flesh. Sometimes she felt bad about making such comments to the love of her life but she knew somewhere inside, Rika liked it. She liked being teased, in more ways than one. “Really, we have to get ready to go”, the girl lying on the bed said, finally pushing her girlfriend off of her and heading towards the bedroom. “No, you can’t take a shower with me”, she smirked over her shoulder. “Damn it”, Hitomi mumbled, slumping onto the bed. Rika always knew what she was thinking, dirty thoughts and normal ones. But that was part of what made her so special. If Hitomi didn’t feel like talking, it was ok because she had her own personal mind-reader. “Sweetie, can you go out and get something to take over to their house?”, Rika chimed, her head sticking out from behind the bathroom door. “Only if you let me see that body”, the blond grinned, waggling her eyebrows suggestively. “Later tonight”, was the reply and the door was pulled firmly shut. Hitomi sighed and got up to go out to buy something nice for Nono and her family.
      20 minutes later, both women were bathed and dressed. “Rika-chan, time to go!”, Hitomi called from the front door. “I’m coming, I’m coming”, the older grumbled, coming to the door. After putting on her shoes, she was surprised when her body suddenly swung to one side and her lips were captured. “Hitomi-chan! What if someone saw?!”, Rika scolded, breaking away and peering out the open door. “You worry too much”, Hitomi chuckled, yanking her lover by the waist out into the hallway. The pair walked arm in arm to the train station. “Does Taiyou know about us?”, Rika asked unexpectedly, panic flashing across her face. “I don’t know but if he doesn’t, he’ll find out tonight”, her girlfriend responded, swiftly squeezing Rika’s butt and avoiding any physical injuries in one fluid movement. The older just rolled her eyes and hurried to catch up. No use scolding her for something that was quite pleasing for both parties.
      Ringing the doorbell, Rika and Hitomi stood waiting outside the front door of the Sugiura Family’s apartment. A moment later, the door opened and there stood Taiyou, Nozomi’s husband. “Welcome! It’s great to see you guys”, he smiled, gesturing them to come in. He gave both of them small hugs and led them into the living room. “I forgot that Nono designed your place”, Hitomi laughed, the abundance of pink and Disney characters making it quite evident. “Yeah, but what can you do?”, he blushed, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. He reached down into the little play pen and lifted 8-month-old Noa into his arms. “Say hi to Auntie Rika and Auntie Hitomi”, he cooed, waving her chubby arm at the couple. “Awww! She’s so big now!”, Rika squealed, taking the baby into her arms and cuddling her. She sat on the couch and bounced Noa on her lap. Hitomi sat next to her, watching her girlfriend play with the little kid. Her heart melted at the sight. “Hey, you guys!”, Nozomi grinned, coming out of the kitchen in a pink Hello Kitty apron. “Nono!”, both girls cheered, standing and hugging their friend. “Well, dinner’s ready so we might as well eat”, the shortest woman said as she retreated to the kitchen to bring out the food. Noa was placed in her high chair and the adults began to eat.
     “Wow, Non, I’m impressed!”, Hitomi said as she devoured her third piece of shrimp tempura. “I remember the days when she couldn’t even boil water”, she continued, causing everyone else to laugh. “Well, now that I have a family to feed”, Nozomi replied, squeezing Taiyou’s hand tenderly. “You guys are so cute!”, Rika giggled, “It’s great to see married couples still being affectionate.”  “What about you guys?!”, the youngest smirked, “Ta-kun said you guys were holding hands when he answered the door.” Taiyou looked a bit embarrassed that his observation had been mentioned. Instead, he turned his attention to feeding little Noa some pureed pumpkin. She babbled cutely and ate every bite. As the conversation went on, Hitomi couldn’t help but notice Rika watching the baby with a warm expression. She seemed so engrossed in every sound or movement the little girl made.
     Suddenly, Noa began crying, her previously joyous expression turning into one of unrest. A worried look crossed Rika’s face as she lifted the baby onto her lap and tried to calm her. But the unhappy infant clearly wanted one of her own parents, as she squirmed around. Both of the Sugiuras had left the room and only Rika and Hitomi remained. “Shh, Noa-chan”, the eldest Yonki member nervously whispered, attempting to rock the tot. She looked at Hitomi desperately, obviously panicking. The blond stepped over and took the crying kid into her arms. She gently bounced Noa, rubbing her little back. The cries began to slow and finally, stopped altogether. Rika stared at her girlfriend in awe, shocked that the baby quieted that easily. “Hey, Nono”, Hitomi called, “I think Noa is down for the night.” The young mother scurried in and laid her sleeping daughter’s head on her shoulder. “It’s early for her but she didn’t take a nap today”, Nozomi said knowingly, “Sorry I couldn’t get in here in time to stop the crying.” Hitomi just smiled as if it was an everyday occurrence. While Nozomi put Noa in her crib, Rika looked at her lover with an expectant look. “How did you freakin do that?”, she asked. “I have no idea”, was the reply, accompanied by a shoulder shrug.
      All four adults moved into the living room, chatting about everything from the old H!P days to Taiyou’s recent projects to cooking tips. Nozomi sat in her husband’s arms, looking relaxed and content. Taiyou appeared pretty happy himself, stroking her leg softly. Rika seemed a little envious to Hitomi, like she wanted what they had. To remind her, the Ongaku Gatas leader snuck an arm around her waist, cuddling her close. The other didn’t respond but any sign of jealousy had vanished. “So when are you gonna come back?”, Rika asked Nozomi, “Because All for One & One for All is getting a little sad.” Hitomi snickered because she too had noticed that particular song was lacking in the population department. “Well, I wanted to wait until Noa gets older but I really want to come back”, the 21-year-old fantasized. The two couples talked a little longer before Rika and Hitomi decided to head home. “Let’s do this again soon!”, Nozomi chortled as her guests put on their shoes to leave. “See you soon”, Taiyou smiled before giving both the women hugs. They waved and left for home.
    “Ah, tonight was fun, huh?”, Hitomi thought out loud as she unlocked the front door. “It was”, Rika replied, throwing her purse onto a chair and flinging her body face first onto the couch. The former Morning Musume leader leaped on top of her, landing with a slight thud and an “AHHHH!!” from the girl under her. “Let’s get married”, Hitomi whispered, “A huge wedding, all pink and white” Rika tried to speak up, but her lungs were slowly being crushed so all she could do was groan pitifully. “And then, on our wedding night”, the younger continued, moving to straddle the area right above her girlfriend’s perfect butt, “I’ll lay you down on the bed and take off your gorgeous dress and…” The last part was carefully murmured into the older girl’s ear. Rika’s face turned bright red and her whole body heated up. Hitomi laughed before whispering more dirty things into the crimson-flushed ear. “Hitomi-chan!!”, the tanned girl managed to croak out in a shocked yet slightly intrigued voice. “And then, we’ll have 6 kids”, the blond woman resumed her fantasy, “3 boys and 3 girls, and they’ll all be ridiculously attractive.” “Get off!!”, Rika whined and the other surprisingly complied. She took a few deep breaths before replying, “But we don’t have the right…equipment to have babies together.” “But it’s so fun to try”, was the response as a giggling Rika was scooped up and carried into the bedroom.

@maverickpanda: They really are the perfect couple! :wub:
@JFC: You do know what they have to do to "make" all those kids, right? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
@Yankii Heart: Taiyou doesn't need to be told that they're a couple, he can see it! Hey, when you mix those two, you gotta know their kids are gonna be gorgeous!
@peti-chan: Please refer to my comment to JFC. :twisted: I never thought about them having their own futsal team but that's a great idea! That's what they'll do with all of those kids!
@lollipopgirl: Yup, after all that angst! I can definitely see both of them as moms. Miki'll be like, "I can't take it anymore!! Why are they crying!?!?!?" :lol: The whole idea for this story started with Nono. I check Taiyou's blog everyday and I remember the entry about Ishiyoshi coming over for dinner. I started from there. Continuing, huh? I'll have to think about that. As for obscure pairing, I'll have to think about that too! XD

So I've been bored not having any new pervs to read. So I wrote my own.
It's at Renai Revolution on LJ. I'd post a link, but I'm too lazy! I posted one earlier in my thread so get it from there if necessary. It's called Waiting, btw.
Comments can be posted either here or there. Or both!!

A little tidbit about Waiting. I was originally gonna write about them being so gentle during their first time but I realized it was a little boring. :grin: So instead, it wasn't their first time and it wasn't so gentle!
@lollipopgirl: My bad! XD Kame just kept on going! :lol: Yeah, that my first time writing a positive Gakikame relationship. It was strange because I'm used to writing them breaking up or something like that! I know really!! KonaKaga!! :D Kame can be such a tease!!!
@peti-chan: I think Kame became a groper at the influence of Mikitty though. She got tired of being the victim! XD
@AmberSan: Really? I had no idea Gakikame pervs didn't exist (maybe) in English. Thanks for the compliments! I hope I'm improving, even with pervs. I want to write Kame's turn! But I really have to think about it so it's not too similar.

I'm trying to write as much as possible because school starts the week after next for me. And I won't have too much time to do anything besides schoolwork.

...............................

Not That Girl

“Uhhh”, groaned Takahashi Ai as she attempted to open her sleepy eyes. But the sun was shining on her, making her pounding headache even worse. She used what little energy she had to pull the covers back over her and curled into a ball. Rocking lightly to ease the pain, Ai tried to recall the events of the previous night. She came up with absolutely nothing. Letting her hands slip down her naked sides….wait. She moved her hands back up, feeling nothing but her own smooth skin. Why the hell was she naked? And in a bed that wasn’t hers? A horrified expression crash landed on her face and her head shot out from beneath the blanket. Ai’s terrified eyes darted about the room, looking for any sign of familiarity.
    “Finally, you’re up”, a voice Ai would know anywhere chuckled. The woman sat on the bed, a glass of water in one hand and a bottle of aspirin in the other. “Why am I naked?”, the younger girl asked, eying her company suspiciously. “Don’t worry, I didn’t touch anywhere special”, Fujimoto Miki rolled her eyes. She took two pills out of the bottle and handed them to Ai, who was still looking at her funny. The girl under the covers took the medicine and accepted the water. “You never answered my question”, she stated after gulping down the first liquid she had in many hours. “Well, I couldn’t let you sleep in your own puke”, Miki replied, smiling at her, “And it’s not like you have anything I haven’t seen.” For some reason, Ai blushed but quickly recovered. “What happened last night?”, she asked, wrapping the covers tightly around her chest and sitting up. “Long story short, you drank too much and I brought you here.”, Miki answered, getting up from the bed and taking the empty water glass to the sink.
     Ai just sat there, naked in Miki’s apartment. She never, ever thought she’d be in this situation. She had heard the things other girls were saying about Miki. How she’s slept with tons of people, men and women. How she dumps people like trash once she’s gotten what she wants. Ai never really paid attention to any of them, though. Miki was nice enough, so she never saw why some of their co-workers talked so badly about her. But this somehow made her see the older girl in a different light. Was she telling the truth when she said she didn’t touch her? Ai always thought it would hurt when that happened but she felt fine down there. There was just something strange about Miki’s behavior. She seemed more cheery than Ai had ever seen her before.
     “So are you just gonna sit there all day?”, Miki grinned, returning to the bedroom. “I’d get up but it seems my clothing is still missing”, she retorted, shooting a slightly annoyed look at her friend. “Someone’s still cranky, even after all that sleep”, was all the older woman said as she retrieved a neatly folded stack Ai recognized as hers. “Are you sure all you did was clean me up last night?”, the short haired woman asked, taking the clothes from Miki’s arms. “Isn’t that what I told you?”, she replied, looking into Ai’s eyes. “Just confirming”, Ai murmured, as she broke the other’s gaze.
     Suddenly, Miki banged her hand on the nightstand, startling the other woman. “You’ve heard what they say about me and you believe it, don’t you?”, she snarled, her tone turning from kind to steely. Ai wanted so badly to tell her no, but the words just wouldn’t leave her lips. “Just so you know, none of that is true”, Miki whispered, her voice less angry and more hurt, “I’ve only slept with a few people and I cared about them.” Ai just sat there, both amazed and terrified of the other. “I’m not a fucking slut! I’m not that girl”, Miki shouted, “And I thought you’d see that.” “But I guess you’re no different from the rest of them”, she continued, leaving the room.
    Ai had never felt so guilty in her life. She didn’t mean to make Miki cry and feel bad. She never wanted to do that to anyone. But of all people, it was scariest to do it to Miki. When the toughest girl in Hello! Project cried, there was something wrong in the world. Ai was able to dress herself and leave the neat and sunny bedroom. Walking into the living room, she caught a glance of Miki on the balcony. Her back was facing Ai but the younger could tell she was crying by the slight shaking of her body. It broke Ai’s heart to see her friend in pain, all because of her. Making her way outside, she stood next to Miki and placed her hand over the older girl’s on the railing. “I’m sorry, Miki-chan”, she breathed, “I have never believed any of those rumors.” “It’s okay”, the older girl sniffled, “I guess I let them get to my head.” “But I do have one question”, Miki said, her voice sounding surprisingly clear, “Did you really think I raped you?”
     “No, I trust you”, Ai replied, giving Miki a silly smile, “I know you wouldn’t do that” “Good”, the soloist said, holding Ai’s hand. “Now I have a question”, the Morning Musume leader spoke up, “If all those rumors bother you, why don’t you say something?” Miki was silent for a couple seconds, as if hesitating to answer the inquiry. “Because I have an image to keep up”, she finally answered, “I don’t want everyone to know that the rumors hurt, you know?” Ai simply nodded, becoming lost in her thoughts. Somewhere in her heart, she had always known Miki had a soft side, a vulnerable side. But seeing it firsthand was a little unnerving. “I have practice soon”, Ai said, “But let’s hang out again, ok?” She gave Miki’s hand one last comforting squeeze and headed towards the front door.

But before she left, Ai turned to face Miki and said, “Your secret is safe with me.”

 :rofl: Hitomi!  six kids really?!  :lol:  I love all the playful teasing, Hitomi knew exactly what to do to pull Rika from her dour mood...  It was so romantic! Then again I find more romance in playful banter then a dozen roses could bring any day....hee!  :nya:

Aww, Miki was so hurt when she thought that Ai was doubting her, she was so vulnerable.  Its true that no matter how tough a person is they still are weak to the sharpness of the gossip mongers tongue....and now it will probably be much worse if anyone happened to see Miki take Ai home, because even if Ai denies anything happened, with those types of rumors who would believe it?   :sweatdrop:

Poor Miki, all alone with the rest of H!P saying evil things about her :( It's totally cute how she thought Ai would know better and would believe in here though. I surely thought some TakaMiki would be coming through and not just while Ai-chan was unconscious XD

No wonder Miki cracked when talking to Ai, she's trying to uphold a stupid reputation when in the process she is just hurting herself  :mon waterworks:

Romance at its Best

“I can’t believe it’s been a year already”, Fujimoto Miki commented, speaking to the girl in the kitchen. She had never stayed in a relationship this long before, so she really couldn’t believe it. “I know, huh?”, Takahashi Ai replied, the adorable grin evident in her tone.

She was preparing dinner for them, because Miki wasn’t allowed to cook. Just thinking of the last incident sent shivers down the leader’s spine. “Ok, it’s done!”, she cheered, carrying the platter of meat into the dining area. “Damn, that looks good!”, Miki shouted, springing up from her seat. The large plate was piled with beef, cooked to perfection. Ai went back into the kitchen and returned with rice and vegetables.

She had just set down the dishes when something heavy attacked her from the back. “AHH!”, her manly scream echoed. “Do you have to do that?”, Miki groaned, “It’s such a mood-killer” But the older girl continued to hug Ai from behind. “Thank you”, she whispered, planting a soft kiss on the younger’s neck before sitting down to eat. Ai blushed lightly, even though a year passed.
   
“Oishi~”, the soloist squealed, as she took a bite of the tasty-looking meat. The 21-year old simply smiled, eating her own portion. But nearly choked because something was touching her feet. At first, a light brush but then it increased to rubbing over her slipper.
She looked over at Miki but the woman was looking down at her food, seemingly engrossed.

Ai scooted her chair back a bit and peered under the wooden tabletop. There, her feet sat with Miki’s slipper absentmindedly moving over them. “Miki…”, she said, “What are you doing?” “Hmm?”, Miki asked, slowly looking up before grinning deviously.
     
The former leader decided to do the dishes, carefully easing them out of her protesting girlfriend’s tiny hands. “I’ll take care of it”, she reassured, relishing the feeling of soft skin as she ran her hand up and down Ai’s forearm. The younger, being the “wife” in this relationship tried to stop her but Miki was already in the kitchen.

She sighed and made her way to the couch, plopping down dejectedly. She loved it when Miki helped out but couldn’t help but feel like her role was sort of….disappearing. Her little arms stretched over her head, a yawn escaping her ruby lips. She really really hoped a certain someone wasn’t feeling too…..frisky tonight.
     
“Happy anniversary to us!”, Miki’s sing-songy voice cut the silence. She walked into the room, holding a pink cupcake with a candle sticking out of it on a little plate. Ai just looked at her, mouth open in shock.

“Happy anniversary to the hottest couple in the world~”, the elder added, setting the little cake on the coffee table and pulling the dumbfounded girl into a gentle embrace. Ai could feel the tears welling up in her eyes.

Miki could be so romantic when she felt like it.

“You’re crying, aren’t you?”, the aforementioned girl stated, pushing Ai up and looking at her sweet face, “But you haven’t blown out the candle yet.”

The younger sat up and leaned forward. In her mind, she wished that she and Miki could have more anniversaries, just like this. Pursing her lips, she blew the candle out. Miki clapped enthusiastically and grabbed the trim waist. Ai pressed into her body with a soft thump, leaned back and craned her neck to face the other.

“Thank you, sweetie”, she murmured, placing a smooch on the corner of Miki’s lips.

“Anything and everything for you, my Ai”, the soloist replied, stroking the silky cheek facing her.

Miki's a master multitasker, especially when one of the tasks at hand involves "communication". :D

I don't know if anyone can write TakaMiki as well as you... Maybe I'm just so conditioned to your way of writing them that it makes it feel so... right! :wub:
The footsies was so cute and totally unexpected, Miki even uses her feet to communicate how much she cares... is there any part of her body that she doesn't use for said communication :twisted:

To the people who couldn't see the pairing to start with 1) Miki certainly seems/ed to be much softer on Ai-chan than she is on others, kinda like she holds her in high regard, or at least on the same level as herself :heart: 2) You guys totally need to read one of the first fics this little dear posted... I think it's on the 1st or 2nd page of this thread and it's HOT TakaMiki at their best :drool: EDIT: ok just checked, its the first fic of the thread so it's the first post :lol:

@Nee-chan: You probably are used to my style. :lol: I like footsie... :grin: Thanks for the pimpage. :shakeit:

I posted this for the Hangry & Angry creative contest. Ishiyoshi is tru's strong point so I'm not sure how well I did with this.

For the One I Love

“And cut!”, the director shouted from his chair, “That was the last shot, good work everyone!” Yoshizawa Hitomi and Ishikawa Rika, the two stars of this shoot, smiled gratefully at the announcement.

The pair had been working since the early hours of the day and on top of that, the outfits they were wearing were less than comfortable. “Thank you for your hard work”, the two former Morning Musume members chorused, bowing respectfully to all the crew before heading for their dressing room.

“Ah, I’m exhausted”, Rika groaned, flopping onto the leather couch lazily. “C’mon, hurry up and change so we can go home”, Hitomi mock-complained as she began to change out of her puffy dress. The taller but younger of the two hung the pink and black Lolita dress nicely on the hanger and pulled on her tattered jeans.

“Sexy, Yossy”, Rika cat-called from the couch, gesturing at the other’s barely covered top half. Yossy responded with a crooked smirk and a quick shimmy of her average-sized assets. But they were soon covered by a form-fitting black T-shirt. She then proceeded to remove the dark, dramatic makeup that further accentuated her already-large eyes.

“Rika…”, the more boyish one warned once she was done, crossing her arms and tapping her foot like an impatient mother. “What?”, the aforementioned woman whined as she pouted and stared up at the other. “You know what”, Hitomi grumbled, “Get dressed” She loved Rika more than anything or anyone in the world, but the girl occasionally abused the gift of cuteness that she had been blessed with at birth.

The older girl took on the tone of a damsel in distress and moaned, “Help me~” Behind her current expression of helplessness, Rika was grinning evilly. She had been longing for her woman’s touch the whole day, but tactfully suppressed all of those feelings. After all, they had been in public and a scandal was not something either one of them needed.

But that wasn’t the only thing she had been trying to ignore; she had also noticed a slight difference in her girlfriend’s mood.

About halfway through filming, something very subtle changed in Hitomi’s demeanor. Rika wasn’t sure what to make of this or how to fix it but she was determined to get to the bottom of the problem before the night was over.

Falling right into the trap, Yossy grinned naughtily and replied, “With pleasure” to the request. She effortlessly picked Rika up off the couch and sat her on the dressing table. Her nimble fingers carefully removed the fluffy blue and black dress from her lover’s body, lingering just a tad longer than necessary on the tanned flesh.

When Rika wore only her lacy black lingerie set, Yossy went to retrieve her clothes, a black-and-while plaid top and a pair of tight black jeans. She pulled the top over Rika’s head softly, taking care to not mess up her neatly groomed hair. The pants proved to be a bit more challenging, forcing Rika to have to stand up while her girlfriend slowly pulled them up her legs. After securing them on those luscious hips, Hitomi leaned in and kissed Rika softly. At that moment, Rika decided to put her plan on hold, not wanting to ruin their intimacy.

“Let’s go home, baby”, she mumbled between lips locks as her arms encircled Rika’s waist. Silently agreeing, they stopped kissing and gathered their things. Hitomi slung her sporty black-and-white Adidas bag over her shoulder while Rika hiked her matching pink-and-white one higher on her arm. Their fingers laced together, grasping each other as if they could never be separated.

Arriving at their comfortable apartment, Yossy sunk onto the couch and propped her socked feet up. “You want gyoza?”, Rika called from the kitchen, already clad in pink Hello Kitty apron. Letting her head rest on the armrest, the other replied, “Sure”. Her eyes scanned the coffee table for the remote but instead stopped on a random info sheet about their unit. A slightly sinking feeling filled her stomach as she continued to stare at the piece of paper, bringing back the not-so-comforting memories of the day’s work.

“Dinner is served”, Rika announced a few minutes later, setting the table and waiting for her girlfriend to come to the table. Hitomi swallowed her bad thoughts and sat down across from Rika, attempting to avoid those mesmerizing eyes. Once Rika saw her, she’d know something was wrong. She took a few bites, forcing herself to eat the delicious food prepared for her, though she didn’t feel hungry anymore.

“What’s wrong, sweetie?”, her girlfriend asked, her tone full of concern. Upon hearing the very words she dreaded, Yossy looked up. “It’s nothing, really”, she tried to smile, even though she knew it was futile. “You know you can tell me anything”, Rika said, walking over and sitting on Hitomi’s lap. Nuzzling her face into the crook of the older’s neck, Hitomi mumbled, “It’s stupid”. “Please tell me”, was the plea, “I know it’s not stupid”.

Rika was one of the only people to really know the real Yoshizawa Hitomi. She had known her for the longest time and had helped her through many of the sudden life changes the younger had experienced. She knew that what Hitomi thought was stupid could be something that in reality was quite reasonable and appropriate to feel.

“Fine, you know there’s that part of our PV where you hold me here”, Yossy began, moving Rika’s hand to the swell of her chest, “Well, when we were filming, you seemed…rather disinterested” Rika could recall the incident well, though she had a different view of what had occurred.

“You’re right, it is stupid”, she said, “Stupid of you to think that I’d ever stop loving you”

Yossy’s head had shot up at the agreement of stupidity, but the second sentence brought that familiar feeling of a smile back onto her face. “You know I’ll love you forever”, the older reminded her, “And that I’ll always, always want to touch you…” She proved her point by giving the mound in her grasp a little squeeze. She went on to explain that she felt awkward, not about the touching itself but about doing it in front of others and for her job. The couple agreed that it was weird to be doing all their private things for the cameras and decided to continue their meal.

After they both finished eating, Yossy helped Rika clear the table. “Hon, I’ll help you with the dishes too”, she offered, grabbing the pink sponge from the sink. “That’d be great, but first, let me put on some music” The older girl went over to their kitchen CD player and inserted a random CD from their extensive collection.

“Hitoribocchi de sukoshi, taiikutsu na yoru”, the song from their Morning Musume days flowed from the speakers. Rika made her way back over to the sink, singing along. Grinning, Yossy joined in as she let those memorable words leave her lips softly. The two continued to scrub their dinner dishes, as well as those from breakfast that were left in the sink.

When the song approached the last line, Yossy dried off her wet hands and pulled Rika into her arms, dipping her as if they had been dancing. The older let out a yelp as her body began to point towards the floor, but she knew her girlfriend’s arms were strong. “Demo egao wa taisetsu ni shitai”, Yossy held the high note while smiling at the exquisite woman in her arms,“Aisuru hito no tame ni…”

The pair had been working since the early hours of the day and on top of that, the outfits they were wearing were less than comfortable. “Thank you for your hard work”, the two former Morning Musume members chorused, bowing respectfully to all the crew before heading for their dressing room.

“Ah, I’m exhausted”, Rika groaned, flopping onto the leather couch lazily. “C’mon, hurry up and change so we can go home”, Hitomi mock-complained as she began to change out of her puffy dress.
The hANGRY & ANGRY PV?



Quote
The older girl took on the tone of a damsel in distress and moaned, “Help me~” Behind her current expression of helplessness, Rika was grinning evilly. She had been longing for her woman’s touch the whole day, but tactfully suppressed all of those feelings.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo...is the door locked? :D



Quote
But that wasn’t the only thing she had been trying to ignore; she had also noticed a slight difference in her girlfriend’s mood.

About halfway through filming, something very subtle changed in Hitomi’s demeanor. Rika wasn’t sure what to make of this or how to fix it but she was determined to get to the bottom of the problem before the night was over.
Oh? :?

*YOSSI HELPS RIKA CHANGE CLOTHES *
Dayum.

“What’s wrong, sweetie?”, her girlfriend asked, her tone full of concern. Upon hearing the very words she dreaded, Yossy looked up. “It’s nothing, really”, she tried to smile, even though she knew it was futile. “You know you can tell me anything”, Rika said, walking over and sitting on Hitomi’s lap. Nuzzling her face into the crook of the older’s neck, Hitomi mumbled, “It’s stupid”. “Please tell me”, was the plea, “I know it’s not stupid”.

...

“Fine, you know there’s that part of our PV where you hold me here”, Yossy began, moving Rika’s hand to the swell of her chest, “Well, when we were filming, you seemed…rather disinterested” Rika could recall the incident well, though she had a different view of what had occurred.
Oh.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooh...:O

Oh boy.

Makes sense. Even if they weren't a couple and even if they hadn't known each other for so long, it'd still be a little weird touching each other in such an intimate way like that in front of other people. :oops:

I've had this idea for a waaay long time. I even wrote a different-ish version when I was first starting out but deleted it cuz it was crap. :rofl: I hope you guys like it, even though it may go a little too "real" for some ppl's liking.

......................

Growing Up

Niigaki Risa was excited. Very excited.

It was the first day of the “Love is Alive!” tour and that’s when all the partying happens. Normally, she and the rest of the girls would choose someone’s room to hang out in. They’d buy a bunch of snacks, watch movies, and tell stories, the usual slumber party stuff.

The other girls would be doing that tonight, she was sure. But she and Ai-chan decided to do things a little differently. They wanted to just watch a movie and hang out together, just the two of them. It was pretty convenient actually, given that the two were sharing a room anyway.

Grinning, the young girl changed into her pajamas to wait for the return of her best friend. The older girl had gone out to purchase some snacks and a few fashion magazines. Risa plopped face down onto the bed, shaking it a little with the force of her body. She started to regret doing that, as her stomach started to knot painfully.

Come to think of it, she had been feeling these cramps for a few days now. And she’d been feeling a little under the weather for about the same time. Was she getting sick? The girl couldn’t help but pout at the possibility of missing a few concerts due to a stupid flu bug or something.

Risa lay on the soft bed for a few more moments, attempting to relax and calm the angry pain in her belly. Finally the discomfort subsided, allowing the youngest Gokkie to stand up and make her way to the bathroom. She peered into the mirror, staring at herself. Her black hair, normally tied in pigtails, was freely hanging down a bit past her shoulders. It made her look just a tad older, which she liked. Too bad her image in the group was that of the young, cute one and her hairstyle didn’t seem like it was going to change anytime soon. Sighing, Risa turned away from her reflection and went to complete the reason she’d entered the bathroom in the first place. Seated on the toilet, her eyes happened to casually gaze into the crotch of her panties. Those same eyes widened in horror just milliseconds later, followed by a worried “Uso…”

The pink striped fabric was stained with blood.

The poor girl was frozen in fear. Why was she bleeding, especially from there? She didn’t remember ever hurting herself. Millions of thoughts were running through her mind all at once as her eyes began to overflow. She sat in shock on the toilet, not sure what to do to try to stop the bleeding. How could she when she didn’t even know how it started?

Once the initial flurry of thoughts slowed, the young girl was able to get herself up and into the shower. She stood there under the streams of warm water, crying and watching terrified as the bright red liquid ran down her legs and onto the white tiles, only to be washed down the drain.

“Gaki-san, I’m back!”, Ai-chan’s voice echoed under the closed bathroom door. Risa was suddenly relieved to know the older girl was back. But she was a bit apprehensive about the new presence at the same time. Should she tell Ai about her current predicament or try to handle it on her own?

Her time to decide ran out when a sudden knock on the door startled her. “Gaki-san?”, the melodic voice asked. “Ai-chan…”, Risa whimpered, deciding at that moment to lean on the older for support.

Outside the door, Ai began to get quite worried and asked, “What’s wrong?” While waiting for an answer, a little debate began in her head. Should she go in or not? She didn’t want to invade her friend’s privacy but what if she was hurt? Luckily, the other replied, “I need your help”, signaling that she wanted her to enter.

Ai wasn’t sure what to expect so she closed one eye and then pushed open the door. Gaki was nowhere to be seen but the shower was on and the curtain closed so that was obviously where she was. She approached the shower but drew back her hand from opening the plastic shield. “What’s wrong?”, she asked again. “I…I…”, Risa began but her crying became so hard that she couldn’t speak.

The oldest 5th generation member made up her mind to open the curtain. It’s not like Gaki had anything that she didn’t and they’d changed in front of each other before. Ai’s fingers closed around the barrier and she pulled it open. Her eyes widened with shock at what she found.

“What’s wrong with me?”, the younger girl whimpered, staring at her with scared eyes. She had her arms wrapped around herself, covering her small top half but there was no way to hide the blood dripping from between her thighs. Initially, Ai was freaked out because of the blood but soon came to realize what it was.

“Risa-chan, you’ve never had your period?”, she asked gently, recalling the start of her own monthly cycles. “My what?”, the younger girl sniffled. Ai’s jaw nearly dropped but she was able to keep her reaction to herself. She could feel her cheeks reddening at the prospect of having to become a sex education teacher for her friend. But Gaki was exactly that, a friend. So she was willing to be embarrassed out of her mind to help the other, especially with something as crucial as this.

Grabbing a clean towel from the rack, Ai coaxed the younger girl out of the shower and into its warmth. “But it’ll stain…”, Risa whispered, worrying about leaving the remnants of her discovery on the white cloth. “Shh, don’t worry about that”, Ai soothed, rubbing her back tenderly, “And the bleeding is perfectly normal” She led the girl back over to the toilet where she told her to sit and then left the room. Alone once again, Risa couldn’t help but let her mind wander. How could this bleeding be normal?

A few moments later, the eldest Gokkie member returned with a small, slender plastic package. “This is a tampon”, she began to explain, “You stick this in your…private place to stop the bleeding” Risa’s eyes grew large as she realized what she had to do. Ai carefully unwrapped the item and placed it firmly in the other’s hand. “I’m s-scared”, the youngest 5th generation member murmured, “Does it hurt?” “Not if you put it in right”, her best friend assured her, “Just relax and go slowly”

After several minutes of trying and a bit of slightly embarrassing explanation, Risa was successful in getting the tampon in the right place. Ai brought her some clean panties and pajamas. Risa allowed herself to be dressed as she adjusted to the feeling of something inside of her. “C’mon, let’s go watch the movie!”, Ai grinned, lacing her fingers with the other’s and leading her out of the bathroom.

Once they were settled on the bed, Ai sat with Risa almost on her lap, cradling the little girl who had just taken an important step towards womanhood. “Ai-chan?”, the aforementioned girl asked as she looked up at Ai’s face, “Are you gonna tell anyone about me starting my period?” She thought for a moment, then replied, “I should probably tell Iida-senpai, but I won’t tell anyone else”

 Risa snuggled further into Ai’s arms, resting her head on her chest and breathing in her sweet scent. Ai said nothing in response to the action. Instead, she just held the girl tighter.

Poor Risa... :sweatdrop: I always did have the feeling that she would be slower growing up.  She looked younger than Eri when she joined, actually. (Then again, they are only one month apart...)  I can't say that I know how Risa feels... I learned all about growing up before life...erm, began to stink.  (Once a month, anyway.)

Very interesting, very cute. Good work! :)

Love that line, couldn't be more true :heart:

You know how I like to expand your stories in my mind and make them whatever I want? :lol: Well I've done it with this one too and this time it doesn't include death :w00t: To me, this will mark the start of Gaki's little crush (that turns into eternal love) for Ai-chan considering how generous, caring and gentle Ai-chan just was... Can't expect a young teen girl with all different hormones doing crazy things not to notice that... Ah yes, the start of all the TakaGaki love :wub: :mon inluv:

Hmmm that's a good thought that you put in my head :P Maybe you could turn those thoughts into a fic to satisfy us TakaGaki fans. We are suffering from a drought!

@SBK: I LOVED this fic. Besides the fact that it was pure TakaGaki, I also liked how you wrote their relationship in such a innocent and sweet manner. Now that we've got the pure stuff, we need some hardcore _____ !(fill in the blanks as Hammy is too innocent to write it out :D)

First of all, I apologize if this is crappy b/c I hand-wrote it out at school and just typed it up. Secondly, I wrote this, as you can probably tell from the title, in honor of Kaori's son who passed away in July, at just 6 months old. I was like :cry: when I read about it b/c no one should lose a child, ever. I had more things to say but I can't remember them... :P Oh yeah, I didn't change her last name b/c I have no idea what her husband's last name is. :D
......................

In Loving Memory

I walk slowly along the Sumida River, the heels of my boots marking each touch between me and the solid ground. My steps feel heavy and unsure. Should I really do this? Or will it just help to resurface the pain I’ve struggled to hide away? A chilly wind blows me forward, keeping me steady on my path. The remaining leaves on the trees are few, some sprinkling towards the concrete as I pass.

He would be 10 months old today.

As I approach the bridge, my legs freeze. The unfortunate familiarity of tears hurts my throat and I begin to cry, like I knew I would. My grip on the small bunch of white lilies tightens as sobs escape my naked lips. For a few moments, I simply stand there, clutching my flowers and crying with my head down. But after a few deep breaths, I press on.

Standing against the concrete railing, I rest my arms on it and look out over the water. This is the first place we ever took him out. It was the first of many, but not nearly enough, walks with just the three of us. My pale fingers take hold of a single bright green stalk of one of the flowers. Its snowy white petals gleam brightly in the dim sunlight, reminding me of his precious grin. I reach over and drop it into the water.

Flower #1: The day I found out I was pregnant.

It began like any other day, except for when I ran to the bathroom and threw up my breakfast. Sitting on the cold tile, I feared that it was true, that I was now with child. And a few hours and one home pregnancy test later, my shallow fears were confirmed, But the joy in my boyfriend’s face changed my opinion. Perhaps this was a blessing after all.

I sniffle loudly and let another lily land on the rippling surface.

Flower #2: The day he was born.

I was so afraid. The doctor smiled kindly and told me to relax. But something told me that something would go wrong. I groaned as another contraction sent waves of pain through my body. “It’s time to push”, my husband whispered and took my hand.

Several hours later, my little boy’s cries could be heard. I grinned weakly as my husband wiped the sweat from my brow. He cried loud and steady, but was not placed in my waiting arms. The doctors looked panicked and rushed his tiny body out of the room. I began to weep silently, wondering why my baby was sick.


All the anxiety and worried feelings of that day rush back into my already-broken heart. “It was bad from the start”, I mumbled, fingers releasing the next flower.

Flower #3: The day he came home.

That day was so rewarding. I could finally take my son home after weeks of watching him from behind the glass confines of the incubator. The nurse dressed him in a tiny blue outfit and placed him in my trembling arms. He snuggled close and I melted.

“I love you so much, sweetie”, I whisper softly, wishing he was back in my arms. The 4th and final flower glides through the air slowly, barely disturbing the water. I watch as its pure white becomes enveloped in the murky darkness.

Flower #4: The day he died.

I should have known it would come to this. He was so sick, sick enough to land back in the hospital. A place that we spent way too much time already. I had gotten up to stretch my legs and was just about to reenter the room when I was stopped by the doctor.

“Mrs. Iida”, he said, in a tone I did not like at all.

The sad look in his eyes spoke louder than his next words: “Your son has passed on”

All those years of fake-fainting on Hello Morning came true when I nearly collapsed. The doctor’s strong arms caught me just in time, effortlessly transporting me into the room. I slumped onto the chair, allowing my tears to fall. “Did he suffer?”, I croaked, “Was he in pain?” He shook his head, bringing me just a tiny bit of peace.


The unbearable loss I felt on that day resurfaces now. I remember feeling so numb when I told my husband that the little boy we’d come to love and cherish was now gone forever. “Oh, Kaorin”, he had sighed and then held me close. If one good thing came out of this tragedy, it was becoming even closer to my beloved husband. I can appreciate it now, but it just seemed to mock me then.

By now, I am sobbing loudly, gripping the railing painfully tight. The flowers are all gone, swept away by the gentle current. One lone teardrop slips down my cheek and into the river. The cradle in which my baby boy now sleeps.

“Good night, little one”, I say softly, “Mommy loves you”

Woot finally commenting! :w00t:
And again thank you so much for such an awesome b'day present! :heart: Does it top all the rest? You bet your bottom dollar it does! :D

Nee imouto, you're like owning these pervs so much that I don't think I'll both writing 'em anymore, I'll just make you do it for me :mon blblbl:

I love all of it and I think the addition of the plot made it that much better, especially seeing it meant there was still TakaGaki references :lol: Having such a build up with the teasing made the action even better :drool:
I feel sorry for Miki though, it's like Gaki knows who she feels, she just choices to ignore it and focus her mind on Ai-chan while Miki gives her everything... I could be reading too much into it, but the more characters in turmoil the better :twisted:

But daaamn that whole this is so hot kid! From the minute Miki started smirking I was fanning myself and then when she pushed Gaki against the mirror I totally squealed!  :mon bleed2:
Mikitty talks a lot too XD I love that, its like she's making sure Gaki knows whose in control :heart:

The end is just so sweet and cute too... see Gaki, you do have feelings for her  :mon inluv: Someone really needs to feel like getting in some dance practice and walking into the studio, what a lovely site that would be :P
Oh and feel free to do your original dirty/naughty idea aaany time you want  ;)

The only thing I can 'complain' about with this steamingly hot fic  :mon crazyinlove: is that it makes me desperate for even more FujiGaki :lol: I seriously can't get enough of them, its like once you have a little taste you just gotta have more and more  :inlove:
You see, TakaGaki may be my oxygen, but FujiGaki are my drug  :mon lovelaff:

Don't be surprised if I start bugging you for more FujiGaki fics now coz somehow you even made them more attractive as a couple than they already were, lol.
*huggles you to near death* :gmon heartu:

@ringo-hime: Thank you! :heart:
@anuskyna: Glad you thought it was so hot. XD
@JFC: Domo for helping me force ppl to read instead of mooching off your awesome comments. :kneelbow: My original intent, well, that was kind of a mess. :lol: Probably not gonna happen b/c I don't really feel like it. :D
@Hammy: Hey, no one's forcing you to choose, right? :mon dance:
@Nee-chan: I'm not even kidding when I say that I'm reaaaaaaally happy that you're satisfied. Hey, just cuz I've begun to master the art of perv writing, doesn't mean you're off the hook. :mon pissed: I also feel bad for Miki. :lol: Can't say it would feel nice to have someone only want you for physical reasons but in a way, she's using Gaki to get back her past. Kinda. :mon dunno: I love all of Miki's dialogue too, makes it nice and :mon blood: My original story had Miki getting up and calling Eri to get some tissues for "cleaning up" with Eri accidentally seeing a little too much, but I didn't feel like that story was right for what I was going for. XD FujiGaki is fun, something different for a change. :mon lovelaff:

This next fic came to me when I was washing my hands with lemon-scented soap. :hee: You will know what I mean once you read it. Sorry it's so short, I've been so good with writing longer stuff lately. :lol: It was written in like 30 minutes so please ignore any grammatical errors and/or plot holes. :mon lol:
..........................................
Bath Time

Niigaki Risa walked into the kitchen of her apartment, bare feet cruising across the tiled floor to the sink. She stopped in front of the vessel, glancing with disdain at the pile-up of dirty dishes. “Oh well, they can wait a little longer”, she thought to herself as she turned on the water.

Quickly running her sticky hands under the cold stream, she reached for the bottle of soap on the counter. She pressed on the top with her left hand, catching the little pile of foamy bubbles in her right. The scent of lemon filled her nose, reminding her of that day in the bath…

They were so dirty that day. Sweat dripped from their pores as they tumbled straight from the doorway to the bathroom. Damp clothing fell off their bodies and warm water caressed their curves.

Risa rubbed the soap between her palms, unleashing more of the clean scent.

“Gaki-san”, her voice was fluid and cool, with just a hint of lust, “let me wash your back.” The younger girl knew she wouldn’t stop there. She could hear the plastic bottle squish in the other’s grasp, releasing the fragrant lemon soap onto the soft pink sponge. She nearly let out a moan as her back was gently stroked, painting her skin with bubbly stripes.

The girl flicked the tops of her hands under the now tepid water and lathered them up as well.

Once her back was thoroughly soapy, the hands moved up and coated her arms and shoulders. Risa shuddered as a pair of flushed lips pressed against her neck, followed by the sudsy sponge. “Feel good?”, the voice chuckled into her ear before licking it sensually. She could only nod, not trusting herself to speak. “Good”, the other purred in a tone that made Risa blush.

The foggy mirror was graced with a sweaty handprint just minutes later.


“Gaki-san”, that same voice called, “What’s taking so long?”

The aforementioned girl stopped reminiscing and quickly washed the bubbles from her hands. She shook the water from them and dried them on the polka-dotted dish towel hanging nearby.

“Hey, Ai-chan”, she grinned, leaving the lemon scent behind and entering the living room where her girlfriend sat, “Wanna take a bath?”

It's not the same, of course, but I couldn't help remembering that.  :lol:
Anyway, yay for sweet, borderline innocent TakaGaki.  :yep: I can't seem to get tired of them just yet, and that's always a good thing. So, once again, thanks for sharing.  ;)

Hi there strawb3rrykream ,

Great to finally make your acquaintance and the lovely stories you write.

Miki-sama has kicked me in the butt for not thanking you for writing about her this lot!  :onionwhip: :onionwhip:

So I came here to thank you and to show my deep appreciation for writing the only Miki x Reina fic I've ever read. :shock: :stoned:

OMG! It's true! Surprise is the only Reina x Miki fic I have read!  :err: :gyaaah:

I love any fic that has Miki as the other partner.

I love all your Miki-centric fics.

Ai is good enough for Miki so she passes.

Now the only thing missing is the Miki x Koharu shot. Oh shi... :on shady:

@ringo-hime: I know, I'm sorry. But I didn't want to go overboard by adding anymore to something that I felt was pretty good.
@Amarghetta: I LOVE that perv. It wasn't exactly in mind when I wrote this but once I looked it over, I was all "this sounds kinda familiar..." XD TakaGaki needs more love lately! :yep:
@JFC: Well said. :P
@zay05ohayou: Glad your enjoyed "Her Touch". :grin: Smells are quite powerful, they can trigger any kind of memories. Positive or negative.
@Demon Eyes: Hi~ Oh, don't beat yourself up since Miki-sama did it for you. :twisted: Thank you so much for liking my stuff~ :wub: Reina x Miki is rather difficult, I think. They are a great pairing, though. I'm a HUGE Miki-sama fan so I love writing her as a main character. Oh, did you find Hero? :P Is that was that face is? :lol: I've covered many Miki pairings. :D
@Hammy: Of course she will!! Who wouldn't take advantage of the opportunity??? I know I would..... :grin: Hmm, Gakikame? I'll work on it. Ganbarimasu~ :heart:
@Yuuyami: I love your pervs, especially "Translucent White". Whenever I'm in the mood for something in that area, I always read it. 8) Thanks! I'm glad someone as good a writer as you thinks my stuff is
haaaaaaaawt!
Oh and hell yeah, Ai-chan agrees. :inlove:
@shadowolf8: Thank you and yes, you GOTTA love them!!!! :lol:
@kawaii beam: Thank you! Yeah, I did. Weird but it works~ :D

This is cross-posted from the Rika Ishikawa 24th B-day Creative Contest. I wanna win so bad! But in any case, this was hard to write but really fun to imagine up~ Hope you all feel the same!
..................................
The Party of the Year, H!P Style

One tired Ishikawa Rika collapsed on the comfy couch of her tidy Tokyo apartment. She laid her head back against the lime green cushion, letting her chestnut hair fan out on its surface. She was cold, goose bumps still covering her skin from the chilled sweat still present on her body.

The past day’s practice felt more strenuous than usual. “Ugh, I’m getting old”, she mumbled, rolling over onto her stomach and burying her face in the pillow.

It was the 19th of January, her 24th birthday.

Sure she was happy, very happy. All the girls had been showering her with love, and the occasional joke about her age, throughout the day. It really did make her smile to think of all the people who cared about her, and that she cared for in return. But all this talk of aging was making her worry about her future in this industry. “What am I gonna do?”, she whimpered into the cloth, “My life is changing…”

In the midst of her thoughts, Rika almost didn’t hear the sound of footsteps and giggling outside her door. Abruptly halting any further worries, she concentrated instead on the subtle noises.

It sounded like…..H!P girls.

Rika rolled her eyes and planted her face back on the pillow. She counted the seconds before the banging on the door and someone’s voice ringing out.

5….4….3….2….1….”Oi, Rika-chan!!!”

At first, the woman wanted to just ignore it, but then she thought better of that idea; H!P girls were persistent, if not annoyingly so. “RIKA-CHAN!!!”, a different voice yelled through her front door. Knowing the calls would just get louder and bother her neighbors, she heaved herself off the couch and glided on bare feet to the entryway.

“Yes?”, she asked with a bemused expression as she opened the door. “Hey, there’s our girl”, Nakazawa Yuko cheered, pushing her way past the birthday girl. Pretty much every woman in H!P over (or near) 20 followed, carrying multiple paper bags, as well as greeting Rika with smiles.

Sighing, the apartment resident closed the door and joined her guests. Resistance was futile at this point. Once they’re in, they’re in for the night.

But she gasped when she entered the living room. She’d only left them alone for a minute at the most…

A huge pink banner now resided on the wall above her couch, reading “Happy 24th Birthday Charmy”. There were bags of random stuff, from assorted games to curious objects Rika couldn’t even identify, in a pile on the floor. Girls from every Morning Musume generation from 1 to 6, along with Jun Jun, soloists and other H!P members were already making themselves comfortable on her couch, floor, and kitchen.

Speaking of kitchen, the girl cautiously peeked in to find Yuko setting up a full bar on her counter. “So what’d you bring?”, she asked, “Some vodka, hopefully” “Honey, I brought it all”, Yuko grinned, “24 different liquors, just for you” Rika smiled weakly as she thought of all the puke that might appear in her house tomorrow morning. “Don’t look in that bag”, the forever leader warned, gesturing to a bag sitting on the far counter, “It’s got your cake in it”

Rika retreated into the living room, squishing onto the couch between a sober Shibata Ayumi and a slightly tipsy Tanaka Reina, who had started drinking before they arrived. “Happy birthday Rika-chan”, the lead singer of Melon Kinenbi smiled warmly and patted her best friend on the knee affectionately. “Thanks”, the birthday girl beamed back. She was about to say something else but Reina leaned over onto her lap, her yankii accent already revving up.

This was gonna be a long night.

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

A few hours later, Rika found herself participating in a strange game of Twister on her living room floor. She knew she was getting drunk, considering she drank two full cups of “liquor # 24”, which she swore was a Yuko original concoction of various alcohol.

Her left foot was on a red dot, her right on a green one with her hands on yellow and green. Kamei Eri’s right arm was under her on blue and Matsuura Aya’s leg was over her shoulder on blue. She could feel someone right behind her and by the warm feeling on her ass, it was Fujimoto Miki. “Quit it, Miki-chan, I’m gonna fall”, Rika warned, “And I’m NOT gonna lose on my birthday” The Groping Queen didn’t say anything but her hand removed itself from Rika’s posterior.

Once someone fell (it was Yaguchi Mari, who was so drunk she couldn’t stop laughing, let alone support her own body weight in an awkward position), the game started up again, though Rika bowed out this round.

She wandered into her bedroom, where she found the Melons, her two former V-U-Den mates, and 6th gen (excluding Eri who was still getting her Twister on) playing a game of Strip Poker. They were all missing at least 2 articles of clothing, except for Saito Hitomi AKA Boss, who was sitting shamelessly in nothing but her tiny black thong. “I like to lose”, she grinned naughtily, “Why don’t you join us?” Rika shook her head a little too quickly and scampered from the room.

Making her way past her modest bathroom, she couldn’t help but catch a faint noise. A faint moaning noise. Concerned that someone was already feeling the effects of the party drinks, she peeked through the unclosed door.

Somehow, she wasn’t too shocked to see Takahashi Ai and Niigaki Risa making out intensely. The couple was perched on the bathtub, Ai-chan standing between Gaki’s legs. The older’s arms were resting on the other’s shoulders as Risa’s hands creeped slowly under Ai’s tank top. Before things got any steamier, Rika snuck away with a smirk.

The kitchen was fairly vacant, though Jun Jun was passed out on the floor, half of a banana hanging from her drooling mouth. She was carefully stepped over as Rika poured some of “liquor #8” into her red plastic cup. Sipping slowly, she winced at the familiarity of the taste: a pre-mixed sake bomb. Memories of being tricked into drinking the mixture a few years back with said drinking resulting in her waking up on a locked balcony in nothing but a sheet sent chills down the tanned beauty’s spine. “Never again”, she mumbled and set the cup down on the counter, knowing someone else would eventually drink it.

“Oi, Rika, get in here”, Yoshizawa Hitomi called from the living room. Foot steps pattered over the wood floor and stopped short at the edge of her pink area rug.

“Oh…my…Gah….”

There, on the coffee table, was a cake. But not just any old cake, a cake in the shape of Rika’s signature bunny. It was huge too, more than enough for all the girls. The birthday girl could do nothing but stare, jaw nearly hitting the floor.

“Happy Birthday to you!”, they all sang, voices loud with mirth (though the alcohol helped a little too). A single tear slipped down Rika’s face, dripping onto her T-shirt. “Thanks, everyone”, she whimpered, too happy to care that she was crying. “No tears”, Shiba-chan said and wiped the salty trail from her cheek. She wrapped an arm comfortingly around the curvy waist of her best friend and led her to the couch.

“To Charmy-chan”, Yuko toasted, “We couldn’t live without her” She raised her ever-full glass of beer and everyone followed in suit. “Though I wouldn’t mind trying”, Michishige Sayumi mumbled, causing Eri to giggle. Both girls received an elbow in the stomach (courtesy of Yuko and Yasuda Kei), as the rest shouted, “KANPAI!!!!”

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

It was a lovely Tuesday morning, on January 20. The sun was shining even though it was still winter. Many people walked the streets of Tokyo. Off to work or off to school, the city was already bustling.

Considering the fact that it was nearly 10 in the morning.

Ishikawa Rika woke slowly; cursing the fact that she forgot to shut the curtains the night before. She was bathed in sunlight which made up for the lack of blankets because she wasn’t in her bed.

No, the newly-turned 24 year old was in fact on the carpet of her living room next to the balcony door. “Oww”, she groaned as her head throbbed. The sun didn’t help one bit in fixing the terrible hangover she was now suffering from.

She tried to roll over to escape those painful rays but there was something slightly heavy hampering her movement. Heavy like….an arm or a leg or something. “The hell?”, she questioned, reaching over to touch the thing resting on her.

“Nnnngh”, someone mumbled as the heavy thing tightened around Rika’s waist, proving that it was an arm. Figuring she wouldn’t be able to get up anytime soon, the girl leaned back into the body behind her and closed her eyes.

Elsewhere in Tokyo, a dance teacher in the Hello! Project building was wondering where the hell her pupils were.

@kawaii beam: Thank you!
@Yankii Heart: Miki can't help herself, her hands are like magnets. :twisted:
@Demon Eyes: I agree, Junx2 and Linx2 add a certain dimension to the mix that seems to have left with Miki. It's not exactly the same but it's something good. :heart: Haha, I swear I thought you were referring to the Miki and Koha stuff from there. XD

I FINALLY finished this. If you remember the one I did with TanaKame, this is the other version~ :heart:

Bath Time
Am I the only one wonder why Risa's hands were sticky in the first place? :lol: I read the first part over and over try find some comment to explain but seeing I didn't, I let my imagination decide :twisted:
Sense of smell has been proven to have a large effect on memory, and you certainly captured that... And what I nice little hot bath scene to remember *drools* I kept expecting Ai's hands to travel more but reminded myself that this wasn't the perv section XD
Very cute lil' short, that was hella enjoyable... reminds me of all the little shorts you use to write when you first started :heart:

The Party of the Year, H!P Style
No matter how many times I read this (I've lost count) it still makes me LOL  :rofl: Also, reading bath time and this right after another makes it seem like you have a thing for TakaGaki in the bathroom XD Must admit its a hot visual but yeah two fics in a row for that, just one was in the bathtub the other was on it :P It's great to see that all the members hearts are in the right place, maybe even Sayu's :twisted: And its totally Miki with her arm around Rika the next morning  :mon lovelaff:

Fine you win, although I knew you would anyway, just wasn't gonna admit it before  :mon blblbl:
You certainly had the perfect mix of cuteness, playfulness, nervousness, hotness etc :heart:
Although I was kinda creeped out at how skilled Aichan seemed (I blame Miki of course :P), kinda made it feel like Risa was this teenage girl & Ai was the experienced older woman... wait... that's how it is! :O
But Aichan made me laugh with her little teasing comments and the "Mmm, just like that", coz she was so comfortable, such a contrast to Gaki XD
And the part that made me laugh the most
Quote
While it was fun to play with the kind of chest I didn’t have,
OMG, I'm sorry Gaki but I laughed so hard there  :rofl: Such a cute thing to think :heart:
But the beginning was right, it was perfect  :mon lovelaff:
*snaps for imouto* awesome work my dear :gmon heartu:

Paradise Found

Embraced in a balmy summer breeze, my hand gripped hers tighter. Her milky white skin felt even smoother than the pale sand beneath our feet. “C’mon, Ai-chan”, she smiled, “Just a little further.”

We wandered away from the rest of the group, towels in hand, down the beach. She assured me that the girls would be fine, that I don’t need to watch their every move to keep them safe.

I believed her because she’s always right.

“Here’s perfect”, she grinned, stopping abruptly in the creamy sand. We were now under a palm tree at the far end of the beach. It was a nice shady spot, a little secluded but in a good way, to ensure privacy. Her hand let go of mine as she carefully laid out the brand new beach towel.

The vibrant, summery pattern was soon covered by our bodies as we lay watching the aqua waves cruise onto the sand. I eased myself into a sitting position and patted her arm softly. She looked to me with questioning eyes but soon crawled into my lap, snuggling against me. My arms wrapped around her like a blanket and pulled her even closer.

“I love you, Risa-chan”, I whispered, using her real name as I always did when it was just the two of us.

“I love you too, Ai-chan~”, she replied and planted a kiss on the bare skin revealed by my sweatshirt. Carefully sliding down the zipper, she looked up at me with that…look.

Eyes feigning innocence, while her smirk and fingers tell a different story.

“Not here”, I mumbled, as I lost myself in the sensation. As quickly as that look had arrived, it vanished, her usually sunny expression returning. “I know”, she answered airily, “I just want to go swimming.”

She continued to undress me, first removing the sweatshirt to reveal my blue bikini top. Her fingers brushed against my skin lightly as they traveled lower, sliding down my already-unbuttoned yellow shorts. She folded up the discarded clothing nicely and set it on the towel next to us.

“Now do me~”, she smiled.

“With pleasure”, I teased as her white sweatshirt began to slide down her shoulders, exposing her creamy flesh. The green strap of her swimsuit slid a bit as well but it was rescued by my nimble fingers. I lingered a second longer than I should have on her arm, admiring the smooth flawlessness. “Ahem…”, she cleared her throat in mock annoyance, shooting me a dirty look.

Smiling, I let my hands glide down her body, feeling the warmth I had grown accustom to. Finally reaching her waist, I curled my fingers under the elastic and dragged the shorts down to her ankles. She kicked them off like a child but was quick to retrieve them, along with her top. They too joined the neat pile on the towel.

As she removed her body from mine and held her hand out to pull me up, I thought of how peaceful this was.

Just the two of us on a beach in Hawaii, enjoying the sun and the sea.

“Let’s go!”, she insisted, shaking the hand poised for me to grab to emphasize her point. “Ok, ok, I’m coming.” I replied as she pulled me up and intertwined our fingers.

Looking at me with those twinkling eyes and that priceless smile, she started running towards the water, taking me with her.

We reached the shore and stopped short, letting the waves bathe our feet. She squeezed my hand, reminding me that she was here and that I would be safe. “I’m ready”, I whispered, taking a first slightly hesitant step further into the ocean.

The clear water was warm, a pleasant surprise. “Uwah, it’s comfortable!”, Gaki cried, leading us deeper until the surface was around our thighs. Her fingers remained laced with mine, even as she spun around with glee. I couldn’t help but grin at her behavior.

As much as I love the mature motherly Risa who insists on taking care of me, it’s the fun-loving playful Gaki-san that keeps me laughing.

“Just a little farther”, I warned as we walked away from the shore. I felt a little scared, faint images of us being swept away by monstrous waves flashing in my mind. “We’re fine, Ai-chan~”, she said, soothing me with just a few words.

After just a few more steps, we stopped, the water now just under my breasts. Her hands left mine but found a new home clasped together around my neck. She leaned in and whispered into my ear, “Hold me.”

Before I had time to process what she said, her thighs were clamped around my waist. I quickly wrapped my arms across her back and simultaneously pulled her closer. Butterfly kisses rained on her collarbone before I made it up to her lips, capturing them with ease.

And there we stood, kissing among the waves in a newfound paradise.

Our paradise.

........................

Break Down

“Otsukaresama~”, I grinned, bowing to the staff as I walked out of the venue. I hiked my purse up higher onto my shoulder and headed towards the train station, my plain black Converse squeaking along in the pavement. It was pretty late, the street lights casting an eerie glow across the cars zooming past.

As I approached the station, I heard the announcement of the last trains. “Shit”, I mumbled, grabbing tighter hold of my bag and took off running. I sped past a group of giggly and probably drunk college girls, nearly knocking a few over. My sneakers screeched to a halt as I reached the turnstiles, quickly reaching into my bag for my train pass.

“Fuck…where is it?”, I grumbled as I dug my hand deeper into the Hello Kitty print. Once I located the essential plastic card, I passed through effortlessly and was once again flying towards the platform.

Lucky for me, I made it with a few moments to spare, allowing me time to catch my breath. I was still on that after-concert high so it wasn’t too bad. As I stood rolling up my plain grey sweatshirt sleeves, the train breezed in.

It was pretty empty, just a few business men and some couples around my age. I sat down on the blue cloth seat, crossing my legs casually and setting my purse on my knees. My mind wandered back to tonight’s concert.

My last as a Hello! Project member.

The audience roared with joy as we stepped out onto the stage. Glow sticks were beaming brightly, reminding us of all those who care, and will continue to support us. I followed the girl in front of me as we filed out. Smiles were plastered on our faces, though we could all feel the sadness bubbling up within our hearts.

The train stopped smoothly, a few people getting on. I leaned farther back into the seat and let my head rest on the window. It’s so peaceful on the train when it’s near empty. No annoying people chattering so loud you can’t even hear yourself think or people breathing down your neck.

I watched the scenery across from me, city lights blurring together as we sped past. The night life fluttering away like a butterfly in the spring. A feeling of melancholy took over, whispering in my ear that I could now be a part of that, but at the price of giving up the environment I’ve known for so long.

The safety and familiarity of the H!P family.

The spotlights felt unusually hot as we came to a halt in the middle of the stage, everyone standing on their assigned piece of tape. As Yuko began to speak, the crowd fell completely silent, hanging onto her every word. I could feel my eyes begin to water when she stated that we were really leaving the Project. I knew the camera zoomed in on me at that moment so I put on my brave face, my regular expression.

We stopped at another station, my stop. It took a few seconds for the realization to kick in and when it did, I sprung up in a panic. “Shit, shit shit…”, I mumbled, stumbling towards the sliding doors. Barely making it through them as they closed, I cursed my thoughts for distracting me once again.

I began my ascent up the escalator, placing my hand firmly on the railing. “Get it together, Miki”, I thought to myself, “You’re stronger than this” But as the main floor of the station grew closer, I noticed a pair of girls on the other side as they headed down to the platform I just left.

They didn’t look to be the same age, one woman looking distinctly more mature than the other, not to mention the fact that she seemed to be pretty drunk. She had long, wavy blond hair, gyaru style, and wore a navy and white striped sweater dress, similar to the one worn by Ai-chan in my last single as a Morning Musume member. She looked so unstable just standing as she swayed back and forth.

The younger girl was very cute, with short black hair framing her round face. She wore a black and white strapless dress and had an arm wrapped firmly around her companion’s waist. An expression of determination, with just a tad of nervousness, graced her soft features. When the older girl began to try to break from her grasp, legs tangling together in an instant, she pulled her back, mumbling, “Inouye-senpai, please just let me take you home safe.” I watched them slowly descend down the escalator and make their way across the platform, instantly reminded of an incident a few years back.

“C’mon, Fujimoto-san”, Eri’s voice sounded exasperated as she stood next to the table where I sat, “Everyone’s already gone” My head turned towards her voice and I struggled to focus my eyes on her cute little face. Well, it was frowning at me but that made it even cuter. “You’re so cute, Kame-chan”, I grinned, “Cutie Kame” The younger girl just sighed and replied, “Please Fujimoto-san, let’s get going now”

Because we live pretty close to each other, she was left with the task of getting me home…and she did. I woke up the next morning with a terrible hangover and a sleeping Kame-chan on my couch.

I smiled to myself as I recalled what I could of that night. It was partially thanks to that night that I’ve always had a soft spot for the girl.

Her hot bod isn’t too bad either.

Stepping back out into the cold night air, I tucked my hands into my pockets and set off for home. The street sounds kept me company as I silently step over a small puddle, no doubt a result of keeping the flowers fresh at the vacant shop to my right. The faded red awning fluttered gently in the wind as I passed. My body continued to move along the sidewalk but my mind traveled away once more.

The loud slapping of festival banners filled my ears as we walked through the crowded plaza. Both my arms were held tightly by two younger ones, their child-like grins wide with delight at all the offerings of various stalls.

Grilled corn, mizuame, takoyaki…the list goes on. “Let’s go over there”, Reina suggested, pulling us towards the makeshift yakisoba shop. “Irasshaimase~”, the friendly old man grinned when we came near. “One order please”, she said politely, pulling a 500-yen coin from between the folds of her yukata. The little grandpa must have noticed because when she received her order, it was piled with meat. “Thank you~”,she winked and we were off again.

“Jeez, Reina, that was pretty low”, Ai-chan teased from my other side. “Shut up, I got more meat, didn’t I?”, the youngest smirked, sticking her tongue out. The pair continued to bicker, nothing new there. I just kept walking until we reached the rest of the group.

Ai-chan let go of my arm gently and curled up next to Gaki-san, who in turn wrapped an arm around her. Reina also let go, settling herself with Shige-san, Koharu, and Kame. I slipped my sandals off and joined Yocchan behind the rest of them as we awaited the fireworks show.


That day was one of my most rewarding as a sub-leader. I got to spend time with the rest of the girls, but without the stress of work. We all joked around and I feel it was a small turning point in my relationship with them all.

Suddenly, I noticed a warm, wet sensation on my cheek.

I was crying.

Out of nowhere, all the telltale signs were there. The lump in my throat that had previously gone unnoticed was now making itself known. My eyes began to sting and my ears heated up.

Fear of being seen like this drove me to pick up the pace of my walking. Before I knew it, I was flying down the blocks, just as I had been when catching the last train. My hair sliced the air behind me and my clenched fists punched at the night. The few tears that tricked from my eyes dripped off and disappeared into the darkness, hopefully hidden forever.

“Just one more block”, I croaked out to myself, pushing my body forward. My shoes slammed against the ground rapidly and I nearly missed the entrance to my building.

I pulled open the heavy door and power-walked to the elevator, shoving the button much harder than necessary. The last thing I wanted was a neighbor to see me and ask what was wrong. I don’t think I’d be able to answer without breaking down, I wouldn’t trust my voice to even speak.

At last, the elevator opened, thankfully empty. My vision was becoming blurry with unshed tears, a few slipping out as I blinked hard. Fingers shaking as sobs threatened to wrack my body, I pressed the button for the 7th floor. I wrapped my arms around myself and let a couple drops slide down my flushed cheeks.

Once I arrived to my apartment, I fumbled with my keys and dropped them on the hallway carpet. “Dammit”, I sniffled, crouching down and pulling the black key holder back into my hands. Carefully, I inserted the key into the lock and successfully unlocked my front door.

Stumbling to the step leading inside, I relieved my shaky legs and trembling fingers undid the white shoe laces. It was dark as I slid down the hallway to my bedroom. My bag lay forgotten on the neat area rug next to my bed and I collapsed in a fit of sobs.

Tears ran down my face like a waterfall, soaking into the pillow I buried my face in. I finally allowed myself to let go of inhibitions, of the fear of being perceived as weak. Everything from tiny whimpers to full-blown cries of anguish left my lips.

After many minutes of clinging to the sheets and blinking teardrops from my eyes, I began to settle. My breathing was still uneasy and labored but I backed myself off the bed and took careful steps to the bookshelf on the other side of the room.

Picking up a framed picture, I sat back down on the white bedspread and held it in my hands gently. My fingers traced over the glass and ran along the silvery frame.

Everyone I had come to know of the past 7 years smiled in the photograph. I smiled a little as one last tear came to rest on the cold, protective cover.

“Thank you,” I whispered to them all.

I will be returning on August 10th and hopefully will get some more fics up before I start school again. :sweatdrop: I love you guys for reading my stuff and leaving such nice comments~~ :wub: It makes this little author very very happy!
This next fic was inspired by the song "Fallin' Out" by Keyshia Cole.
...............

Fallin' Out

“Hey, this is Takahashi Ai and I can’t get to the phone right now. Leave your name and number after the beep and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you~”

“Hmm, that’s strange”, Niigaki Risa said to herself as she gently closed her cell phone. The Morning Musume sub-leader was seated on the cushy living room sofa of the apartment she shared with her girlfriend, the aforementioned Takahashi Ai. Clad in a white tank top and fuzzy heart-print pajama bottoms, the pretty 20-year old curled her legs under her body and frowned.

After having a nice dinner with a few of the other members, Risa had rushed to beat Ai-chan home and be there when she arrived from her own dinner out with some visiting relatives. She had beaten the 22-year old home all right, but the front door remained unopened, though it was nearly midnight. And while that worried the younger woman, it was the fact that Ai-chan hadn’t called or picked up her phone that made her a little scared.

They had an unspoken rule to check in on each other when they were apart.

Elaborately decorated nails tapped in an almost frantic manner on the armrest as Risa wondered what the other was up to. It seemed like they spent more and more time apart these days. She knew Ai-chan was quite busy with her play rehearsals and performances but the last performance had been about a week ago. It had been near agony to be away from the one she loved for so much of the day; not being able to sneak a kiss or warm embrace was torture.

Despite all of the difficulties, Risa had restrained herself from pulling her hair out and instead worked on keeping Ai-chan as comfortable as possible at home. She cooked nearly every night, making sure her girl was well-fed. She held her when she cried from all the stress she put on herself, rubbing the smooth, bare back as Ai-chan’s lungs shuddered with each heaving breath.

And she was content with that; she enjoyed being the one who the leader came to when she needed reassurance. In fact, it made her quite happy to know she could help someone who means so much to her.

The sofa creaked as Risa stood up, padding into the bedroom. She carefully slid open the closet door and pulled from it a gray zip-up sweatshirt. Officially, it was Ai-chan’s, though they often shared clothes anyway. The heavy worn cotton felt silky smooth between her pale fingers. It was warm and comforting, like Ai-chan’s arms. The young woman lifted the clothing up to her face and inhaled slowly, savoring the scent of clean skin and fruity perfume.

Pulling the sweatshirt on over her tank top, Risa headed into the kitchen for some tea. She’d need something to keep her awake if she wanted to wait for her lover. The white tile was cold under her naked feet; her pink slippers were still in the living room. It was like trekking on ice cubes as the 20-year-old walked to the corner cabinet to retrieve her favorite tea from their expansive collection.

Tea was something that Ai-chan was quite fond of. The 22-year old purchased it almost religiously and drank it just as often. Their “tea cabinet”, as the two called it, was nearly filled to the brim with assorted flavors, ranging from the standard Japanese green tea and chai to more exotic blends, like pineapple and ceylon.

Risa preferred more mild flavors, something soothing and calming, with just enough caffeine to keep her up. She reached for the sakura tea, which was contained in a small pink box decorated with the famous flower. Its scent was evident even before being opened, reminding the girl of spring, when she and Ai-chan had purchased the tea.

Smiling, she ripped open the package and dropped the little fragrant bag into her pale green mug. The teabag was given a hot bath to soak in and then Risa was in the living room, settled back in her place on the couch.

Time ticked on, minutes turning into hours as the young woman waited for her companion. Early morning variety shows barely held her attention and she’d already downed countless cups of tea. The small pink digital clock informed her that it was 3:30 now and still no sign of her beloved.

Delirious with lack of sleep and worry, Risa grabbed for the cell phone and hit her number one on speed dial. She again met Ai-chan’s voice mail. Slamming the small device shut and swearing to herself quietly, she rolled onto her stomach while burying her face in a cushion. Just then, her sharp ears picked up a noise coming from just outside of the apartment.

Somehow, she just knew it had to be her.

The jingle of keys and a chilly draft shot into the room as Ai entered, barely teetering on her high-heels. “Risa-chan~~ Tadaima~”, she slurred in a happy, albeit drunk voice, staggering into the living room and dropping her bag onto the floor.

Risa frowned, and replied, “Okaeri…Ai-chan…do you know what time it is?” The older girl wandered over and plopped herself down, cuddling into Risa and licking her neck. “Lovin time?”, she giggled as she adjusted herself to nibbling on the younger girl’s ear.

Rolling her eyes and ignoring the slight heat in her cheeks, the 20-year-old answered in a stern voice, “No, it’s 3:30 in the morning. I can’t believe this, Ai-chan…do you know how worried I was?” “Mou, Risa-chan~ Don’t be so uptight…”, the intoxicated girl drawled, giggling as she ran her tongue along the shell of her girlfriend’s ear.

That was the last thing Ai said before Risa exploded.

Something inside her snapped when she heard those words. “UPTIGHT?! YOU’RE CALLING ME UPTIGHT?!?!”, the younger girl screamed as she stood up to stare the other down, “You’re the one who took years to fucking come to terms with your sexuality! You’re the one who worries herself sick over things you can’t control!”

Her hands were gripped into tight fists and her small frame shook. Months of pent-up frustration came pouring out of her mouth, in the form of not-so nice words. “And who’s the one who has to pick up the damn pieces of your broken spirit? Who has to keep reassuring you that you’re worth it and you deserve all the good things you have? Huh, Ai-chan? WHO!?”, Risa spat, losing control of herself, “ME, that’s who! I think I have the right to be fucking worried when you don’t call and show up at fucking 3:30 in the morning!”

All the while, Ai stared up at her in fear, her previous intoxication seeming to wear off in an instant. She’d never seen the girl she loved so angry, so raw with emotion. The way she glared at her felt like it was eating Ai alive, sucking away her flesh and soul. The past few weeks had been hellish, Ojigi de Shape Up took up all her time and she returned to the apartment drained; too tired to spend any quality time with Risa. Home was the one place she could just relax and let go…and she thought her girlfriend understood that.

“I love you so damn much, Ai-chan! I don’t know what I’d do if you got hurt or worse”, Risa’s voice lowered in both octave and intensity. What was once a snarl turned into more of a whimper, her eyes brimming with months of unshed tears. “D-do you understand what I’m saying? I care so much about you that it would KILL me if I lost you”, the girl choked out.

“I-I…I’m sorry, Risa-chan…r-really”, Ai whimpered, feeling like more than just a scolded child, “I love you too and it h-hurts to know h-how much I hurt you…” She shook slightly as well, but from fear instead of anger. “I s-should have called…no, I should have skipped the bar altogether”, the older girl continued, “You mean the world to me”

She stood on shaky legs, hesitantly embracing her one true love. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry”, she sobbed, “I’m so sorry…” Risa bit her lip as her arms wrapped around Ai’s back, tears dripping down her cheeks. “It’s me that should be sorry”, she whispered into Ai’s ear, “I shouldn’t have blown up at you like that”

The couple stood, holding each other tightly, blaming themselves for something they both were equally at fault for.

“Nee, Ai-chan”, Risa said, her voice back to its soft state, “We should go to bed…you must be exhausted.”

Sometimes I feel like there’s no getting through to you
Like you don’t appreciate all that I do
You gotta show me that you want me to stay
Don’t turn and walk away

Poor Aichan! :cry: (lol, I always feel bad for her whenever she gets yelled at or something.) But Gaki has a valid point. '_' I mean, I'd be worried sick too, if I were her.

Risa frowned, and replied, “Okaeri…Ai-chan…do you know what time it is?” The older girl wandered over and plopped herself down, cuddling into Risa and licking her neck. “Lovin time?”, she giggled as she adjusted herself to nibbling on the younger girl’s ear.

That made me :lol:

Poor Ai-chan for being fussed at. Poor Risa for Ai-chan giving her a reason to worry and fuss. What was Ai-chan doing out so late?

When they finally hugged each other I sighed in relief....I was a bit worried. I also loved the part about tea and their "tea cabinet". Another good story.

Fallin' Out

Quote
*WORRIED RISA*
Awwwwwwwww...so sweet. :oops:



Quote
*TIPSY/FLIRTY AICHAN*
:twisted:



Quote
*RISA'S OUTBURST*
:OMG:

Considering what she specifically ranted about, it's understandable that she'd be upset. Add the fact that she's apparently been keeping these worries to herself, she was sorely in need of a chance to vent. Gotta say as well, Aichan needed to hear it as much as Risa needed to say it. Can't help but get the feeling that with Aichan's humble nature and her habit of being slightly clueless at times, she really didn't realize just how much/how strongly Risa really did feel. As much as Risa's tried her best to be Aichan's rock and support her, she likewise needs that same support and attention from Aichan.

Hmm, I thought this thread deserved a bump since I just went through all 27 pages and read everything you wrote. Also my last comment was pretty crappy. Reading everything all at once made me notice how much more confident you've become in your writing since this thread started and how your style has evolved to the amazing awesomeness of today.
 :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :cow:
Though it's still not much, I hope this makes up for my one liner a few posts up.

Wow, this was intense. The descriptive build up was good. At the part Risa exploded I was shell shocked but I could understand why she let it out.

The ending was good in a way that they managed to wrap it up but it somehow still left me hanging. I want to know what is Ai's take on this.

All in all, I love this fic.

PS: How was your trip to Japan? I miss seeing you around. Come back if you can? *puppy eyes*

I just started to read your writing, so these comments that will be coming from me from now on are about your older pieces until I catch up.

I love how you wrote forgiveness in two different perspectives, it helped bring the "aww" factor even more.

Even though TakaGaki isn't usually my thing, you made it good by writing well. Keep up the good work  :D

Fluff makes me happy   :wub:

@Sai: I feel kinda bad for scolding Ai-chan too. :lol: She's usually such a good little girl. :P
@kawaii beam: Thank you! And I did have fun. :thumbsup
@adventwriter: Ai-chan was out partying and she got drunk. XD And I love the tea cabinet part too~ :heart:
@JFC: You had the exact idea I was going for. Not that I expected anything less from you~
@badsaints:  XD Yes, Papa was a bad girl. That might be one of the weirdest sentences I've ever written. :lol:

@Kiichan: Oh, Kiichan! You're adorable. :wub: And thank you! :heart:

Yes...yes, it's me.
I am kinda back...after MANY months of hiatus. Things just happened and I got all caught up in school and stuff. But for now, I bring you a little something. I'm trying my hardest to write when I have time but it's hard to get back into it. I've had to stop many times, to prevent myself from ruining a good idea.
But anyway, I bring a small fic for whoever is left, in terms of my "fanbase". :nervous This was posted earlier for Yuuchan's B-day thing, but I never added it here. So I'm sorry if you've already read it before.
Please enjoy! :heart:

Lost In Thought

An expansive watercolor of pinks, blues, and yellows splayed across the sky. It bathed Tokyo in its first light of day, just a hint of what would come at sunrise. Yet the city still slept.

With the exception of one wonky-eyed girl.

Staring at the black cityscape from an apartment balcony, Tanaka Reina couldn’t help but feel a little more at peace. The hustle and bustle of her second hometown hadn’t begun yet, the streets nearly vacant.  A few people on bikes rode down empty alleys but that was the extent of human activity at this hour.

Reina liked this silence, this stillness. She got up nearly every morning to have this time to herself, going back to sleep once the sun began to rise. It’s a good time to think, she reasoned, the tepid air wrapping her in a sort of cozy embrace.

And on those mornings, the 19-year old thought a lot.

She thought about work, something funny that had happened at dance practice or her schedule for the day. Dance practice, an appearance on Utaban, FIVE STARS recording…, she recited in her head, ticking each off on her fingers. A mildly busy day.

She thought about her life, an idol known by all of Japan and beyond. The screaming fans’ voices echoed in her head and brought a grin to her face. Just knowing that there were people out there who appreciated her work made her feel complete and that her job was worth it. It was almost enough to eliminate the pain she felt, the fatigue of her career.

She thought about the woman lying in bed waiting for her, her warm embrace just feet away. Reina had a secret crush on her, even before she joined Morning Musume. She’d previously disguised it as admiration, but it was so much more. The first time they kissed, the small girl pinched herself to make sure she wasn’t dreaming. And the first time they had sex…Reina couldn’t stop herself from crying, much to the concern of her partner. “They’re tears of joy~”, she had sobbed out, “I’m just so happy!”

Although the summer heat was evident even at this hour, the metal banister was a bit cold on her bare arms; the skimpy tank top and boxer shorts ensemble she wore left little to the imagination. She cast her gaze once more over the city, taking in each and every building, before retreating to the bedroom.

Reina closed the sliding glass door quietly. She pulled the curtain back and snuck over to the bed, its other occupant seemingly still asleep. Sliding under the warm covers and curling her body around the other, the younger girl closed her eyes in hopes of catching a few more z’s before work.

But the body next to her had a different idea.

“Where did you go, Reina-chan? I was so lonely~”, the older woman pouted, her voice both teasing and sincere. Reina’s eyes widened, as she stuttered, “H-how did you…” She was cut off by a chuckle and “For a kitty, you aren’t very quiet”. The younger blushed, staring at her girlfriend’s bare back in embarrassment. The smooth, flawless skin was silky under her fingers as she ran them along her lover’s back.

“Really though, where did you go?”, the melodic voice asked, rolling over to face Reina. Her cropped hair was a little messy from sleep, but sexy nonetheless. “I-I just went out to the balcony…to think”, she answered, “I do think, Maki” The younger couldn’t help but feel defensive about her alone time.

“Oh I know you think, Reina-chan~”, Goto Maki drawled, trailing her long fingernail down Reina’s arm, “And I love it when you do, baby…but I’d love it more if you shared what you’re thinking about” The Avex soloist smiled sadly. The sincerity in her eyes, the yearning to understand was painful for Reina. “Um…well, I-I…”, she tried to explain but ended up tongue-tied like usual.

“Never mind”, the 23-year old grinned, “Let’s just get some sleep, ok?” Any signs of her previous hurt were gone now, replaced with that comforting smile, one that Reina always looked forward to coming home to. She wrapped her arms around the smaller girl and drifted off to sleep.

But Reina couldn’t, not after seeing the expression of pain on Maki’s face.

“Someday…I’ll be able to tell you…”, she whispered, “Someday…”

I feel bad for Maki though, I know I hate when I can't know what someone is thinking about. I hope Reina does tell her soon.  :(

Your story makes me wonder if there is something deeper then the everyday things that is going through Reina's head.

KREAM!!!!!!!!!!  :heart:

Just wanted to say thank you again for that PM. I am definitely going to have to embark on a deeper search for AiMikitty stories (rather than one-shots), but thank you so much for writing these. Reading them made me melt completely  :mon inluv:

I love them all.

Exhilarating:

Wow, that was really quick of Miki  :nervous
I guess she's been into Ai all this time too, huh? How about rather than sharing herself, Miki-sama dump Tomo and get hitched with Ai-chan.  :yep:
But yeah, HOT! (with hints of TakaGaki).  :w00t:

The Fire in Your Eyes

Holy cow, reading about an Ai-chan this aggressive is something I'll probably never get used to!  :bleed eyes:
She's making the Groping Demon seem tame here!!! lol... but I still have to wonder, what drove her over the edge? Ai-chan seems to be a pretty composed person. For her to have let go and actually attacked Miki like that...
But this one really reminds me of OTN1's LOVE X 2 GAM moment of extreme bed play.  :inlove:
I really enjoyed this one! Beri beri sexyyyy  :twothumbs

Out of the Blue:

Awwwww... after all this time, Ai-chan may still have feelings for Miki?
That's really bittersweet >.<
But glad to see Miki-sama still has it in her  :twisted:
What hot mummies they must be!

Not That Girl:

This one's my 2nd fav of your AiMikitty one-shots!  :love:
I can definitely see them in character here (except for the Ai-chan-getting-wasted part of it  XD).
I loved all the exchanges they had here, they were really cute  :heart: But poor, poor Miki, to have to put up with that kind of crap just because it's a part of her character that she has to uphold. <33 Here's to them getting together!  :thumbsup

Romance at its Best:

This one was definitely my favourite!
Domestic AiMikitty! So heartwarming to read!  :wub: I love Miki in this amorous mode, it's just adorable. I can totally picture her being cold and indifferent to everybody else, but completely smitten with her Ai-chan  :heart:

She had just set down the dishes when something heavy attacked her from the back. “AHH!”, her manly scream echoed. “Do you have to do that?”, Miki groaned, “It’s such a mood-killer” But the older girl continued to hug Ai from behind. “Thank you”, she whispered, planting a soft kiss on the younger’s neck before sitting down to eat. Ai blushed lightly, even though a year passed.

 :rofl:

This part totally had me lol'ing like mad  :lol:
Ai-chan's manly scream making a well-earned cameo. Awesome!  :wahaha:

Footsies under the table <333
Miki bringing out the cupcake and singing <333
Loved every bit of this, so damn sweet.  :inlove:

AiMikitty VS. Charmikitty for hottest couple ever, I still can't decide!  :theking

Thanks again Kream, for writing these and for letting me know about them. I'll definitely get around to reading your other stuff too, you seem to have covered a few other of my top pairings!  :oops:

Please write more? ^__________^

@Beecubed: I'm glad that you loved them! Hmm, AiMiki or Charmikitty...I can't choose! T_T I'll do my best to write more! :thumbsup

OH SNAP!!!
LOOK WHO IS BACK!!!! :shakeit:

I know...it's been forever. So I won't bore you all (if there are any of you left!?) with my boring life. :lol:

This fic is a guilty pleasure pairing of mine~ :heart: I hope you enjoy!
............................

Test of Wills

“Ow, what the fuck?”, a certain former H!P soloist and Morning Musume leader cursed as a pillow collided with her head. She opened her eyes slowly to find herself on the couch, the smirking face of her girlfriend by her side. “What the hell was that for?”, she grumbled while rubbing the affected area.

“Oh stop it, that didn’t hurt”, the aforementioned girlfriend giggled, “You’re just too sensitive these days, aren’t you, Mikitty?” The younger girl laughed again when her statement wasn’t denied.

Frowning, Miki turned her body away from the warm one next to her and instead focused on the movie that had been playing on their TV. Her eyes struggled to concentrate on the white subtitles that graced the bottom of the screen, even though she had no idea what was going on.

She wasn’t going to let her win this time.

A few moments later, an almost-gaudily decorated toenail poked her in the thigh. “Mou, Mikitty~”, her angelic voice sounded pouty as the insistent foot continued to run along her skin.

The older woman wanted nothing more than to grab the beautiful princess who shared the couch with her and ravage her right then and there. But unfortunately, her pride had a tad more self-control, forcing her to ignore her lover. “Not until you say sorry”, was all Miki said before going silent again.

 10 minutes went by and neither of them let up on their quest to break the other. The elder of the pair kept her eyes glued to the TV, willing herself not to give in. She wasn’t actually paying attention to the movie anymore but no one needed to know that.

In contrast, the younger was having a much easier time with this test of wills. She had abandoned the route of appeal and instead settled for the same technique of overlooking the other. Her face remained blank as she too stared at the small screen but inside, she was smirking. It was only a matter of time before one of them cracked…and the younger was sure it wouldn’t be herself.

Standing up from the couch, she slowly walked into the bedroom. Her footsteps were light and casual, as if she wasn’t leaving her girlfriend on the couch alone. She could freely smirk now, and took full advantage of it.

Meanwhile, Miki, on the other hand, was shocked and slightly startled when the younger got up and left her. She didn’t feel abandoned, not at all. But she did feel herself wanting to follow her companion…and possibly push her onto the bed…and rip her clothes off…and…and…

“Get it together!” she scolded herself, holding tightly to one of the small pillows on the couch…the one that she was using. Feeling a tiny bit embarrassed, she brought the soft green thing up to her face and inhaled. “It smells like her…” she mumbled, holding it even closer.

The younger girl watched from around the corner, blushing slightly at the sight. She bit her lip nervously, suddenly wanting to call off this whole ‘game’ they had going, and just go back to snuggling. There really was something about the older girl that got her heart racing and her stomach flip-flopping.

“Mikitty…” she said softly as she slowly returned to the living room. The smaller girl crawled back into her arms, nuzzling Miki’s neck. The aforementioned woman blinked in surprise before holding her lover close.

She leaned down to kiss the shell of her ear and whispered “I knew you’d come around.” Her voice was dripping with that ‘I told you so’ tone and the younger had a moment of blankness.

“OW!!!! God, Risa! You don’t have to hit so hard!!!”

Now to comment about the fic. This one-shot was so cute! I happen to find FujiGaki interesting too. I don't know why. I guess I liked them after reading this FujiGaki fic that I found a while back. And for once, this pairing isn't angsty it's just really cute and happy. It's good to have some fluff around here. I pictured Risa walking over to Miki slowly like in a cutesy way then just suddenly sits into Miki's lap and cuddles with her then nuzzles Miki's neck and it was so cute to image! I had such a cute picture of it! ^__^ I look forward to more of your fics. I enjoy you're writing.  :D

I really enjoyed it! Light-hearted fun  :heart:  The 'game' between the two was so cute, I can really imagine it! Gaki as Miki's princess... hmmmm, I can really get used to that image  :oops:

You know what? I just think Miki is great as one-half of any pairing, her personality just goes so well with all the other H!P cuties.

Thanks for the one-shot! Looking forward to more!

@kuro: FujiGaki is awesome :yep:
@rndmnwierd: They are SO right hehe. Well...as you saw...not really :nervous I wish I could be though
@writerjunkie: Uhhh...I try, I promise I do. But as you can see, things don't always work out...writing has become something difficult for me, even though I enjoy it SO much. Yeah, I wrote one fic in which they were angsty but fluff is love. :heart:
@kawaii beam: They're odd but SO GREAT!!! :P
@Beecubed: FujiGaki is a great pairing, to me. hehe~ Miki could be a princess too but I always see her as the dominant one XD And yes, Miki and anyone is a great pairing!
@adventwriter: Miki's a fav of mine too. I figured that Miki could be stubborn like that and Gaki's the patient one who will wait for her to come around...though it kinda backfired on her here lol. Yeah, it's been quite a while since she was leader.

*blows dust off of notebook and has a coughing fit*

Yes...I'm sorta back again. It's only been over a year >_<;;; Things have been BUSY AS FUCK, putting it lightly. And I figure that since I'll be off to college soon, writing will take an even further backseat in my life. So while I have ideas, I'm writing. lol~

This fic is weird, I'll be straightforward about that. XD No idea where the idea came from because I rarely ever write about Aika. (Not a big fan of her lol) If I have any fans left, I hope you enjoy! OH! And a quick thank you shout-out to my good friend Kame, she was my beta for this story. :heart: Check out her stories too!
.................

Family Secrets

Running…running…falling…

Stinging pain shot through her little body as 4-year-old Aika tripped on the uneven sidewalk in the small park. The cruel cement dug into her smooth knee, turning it red and raw.

“Owie…”, she mumbled, crying softly and sitting up, “Nee-chan!!!” Inspecting the scrape, little Aika frowned and tried to brush away the little pebbles embedded in her skin. Each stroke of her stubby finger was rewarded by the burning pain of that tiny rock cutting her already injured skin. Stubborn tears fell readily as the child looked around, for her big sisters.

“Damn, again?”, a familiar voice grumbled from above, “You’re so clumsy!” The trembling girl looked up to see one of her older sisters standing there.

Flowing black hair and a cute pale face, Aika’s sister Sayumi was the epitome of a young Japanese girl. Her appearance alone gave off the image of politeness, but she was just the opposite, often spitting words of malice and general unkindness at her younger sibling.

“Get up already, idiot! It’s just a scratch”, Sayumi’s pretty pink lips unleashed some rather tame (in comparison to other occasions) phrases at the injured girl on the ground. Aika whimpered softly as she struggled to push herself up against the little stabs of those same tiny rocks on her palms. She kept her head down, trying to cancel out her sister’s scolding.

“You’re always getting hurt, you damn klutz!”, the 13-year old grumbled, “Learn how to move properly!” She frowned in disgust, glaring down at the crying kid.

“Aika! What’s wrong?”, another older girl rushed over, this one a bit shorter with light brown locks.

“Forget about the little monster”, Sayumi urged the eldest of the three, “She was running around like an idiot, Ai-chan.” Ignoring Sayumi’s pleas, 16-year old Ai deftly lifted the smaller girl into her arms and held her close, carrying her to a nearby bench.

As Aika wrapped her arms around her oldest sister’s neck, she secretly stared at Sayumi standing there. The middle child had her arms crossed, a look of annoyance distorting her delicate features. The 4-year old wondered what she had done wrong, or why she deserved such mistreatment from the pink-loving girl.

Even at her age, she knew that Sayumi was Papa’s favorite. He was always buying her gifts, and though he often bought presents for all three of his daughters, Sayumi always got the best and most expensive items. Sayumi was always the one Papa would greet first, and he would always hug her a second longer.

Especially when that lady would come.

She was always asking for Sayumi, crying like someone stole her favorite Kitty-chan plushie. Papa would yell for that lady to leave and tell her to stop coming here. He would say that Sayumi is happy without her.

Aika didn’t know who that lady was, but Papa would always hug Sayumi tightly afterwards, telling her that he and Mama loved her so much.

Mama…the Mama that Aika never got to meet.

Papa once told her that after she was born, Mama got very sick, and had to go up to heaven. He assured her that it wasn’t her fault, that Mama wanted to stay but heaven wanted her instead. Then he hugged Aika tightly. “I love you, my little princess”, he told her warmly, “and Mama loves you too.”

On the contrary, though, Sayumi often told Aika a different story. Her big sister said that because Aika was such a bad girl, Mama had to go away forever. “It’s completely your fault”, the 13-year old would tell her, “Everything was perfect until you came along.”

The young girl wasn’t sure who to believe. She trusted Papa with all her heart. But on the other hand, Sayumi was in 7th grade and she even had a cell phone. Aika was sure that Sayumi wouldn’t lie to her.

“Aika, this might sting a little, ok?”, her eldest sister’s voice startled her from her thoughts. Ai cleaned her skinned knee with a bit of disinfectant, being as gentle as she could. She softly blew on it to cool the burn, and then covered it with a Kitty-chan bandaid, Aika’s favorite character. The oldest of the three girls then sat next to her baby sister on the bench.

Aika wondered why her sisters were so different. Ai never said mean things to her, was always willing to play with her and held her hand when they walked. She loved them both equally but somehow, it seemed like Ai loved her more than Sayumi did.

“Nee, Aika?”, Ai said, “Are you coming? It’s time to go home” Aika looked up to see her big sisters standing a few feet away. The littlest child scooted down off the bench and ran to join her siblings.

She had better things to think about anyway, like playing with her toys at home, and her friends at school tomorrow.

Common middle child syndrome? maybe not but I guess in a way Sayu must be bitter that Aika being the youngest = no love for her :nervous

@kuro: You could look at it that way lol I guess I should have explained it more >_>

I guess my writiing is worse than I thought XD But Family Secrets is supposed to be a kind of messed up family life from the point of view of 4-year old Aika. Their mother died giving birth to her, which is partly why Sayu is such a bitch to her. But the other twist is that Sayu's mother really isn't who she think she is. The woman that comes is Sayu's real mother, and the father is trying to shield Sayu from knowing that she has a different mom.

Yeah...I could have done a better job with making that all less subtle. :nervous

Anyway~ this is another fic that I actually really like for some reason. XD Enjoy and PLEASE COMMENT!!! Just because I'm a lazy writer doesn't mean I don't appreciate reading everyone's input!
.....................

Aki Urara

“Mou, Jun~~~”, Tanaka Reina whined cutely from her perch on the barstool up against the cool granite counter. Her pale legs dangled like a child’s from the seat and her head rested on her hands as she watched her girlfriend prepare dinner.

Initially, Reina didn’t care much for the tall Chinese girl at all. The fact that she had a hard time understanding the jumbled, beginner’s Japanese pissed her off, as attempts at conversation often left the younger frustrated and annoyed. But the longer the two foreign exchange students were in Japan and talking with the others, the better they became. That was what allowed Reina to see the real JunJun…and allowed the latter to capture the heart of the former.

“Yes?”, JunJun replied, looking up from finely chopping green onions. Her skills with a knife were nearly flawless and so was her cooking ability. The pair went out on dates, of course, but on the inside, Reina’s favorite thing was to stay home at JunJun’s apartment and have the girl cook for her.

“I want a kiss”, the smaller Japanese girl pouted, her lips pursing as she looked into her girlfriend’s eyes. She grinned a little to herself, knowing that she had the advantage because her lover couldn’t resist her cuteness.

Sure enough, the older walked over and planted a gentle kiss on Reina’s ready lips. “You know I love you, Reina-chan”, JunJun smiled and quickly went back to her preparations.

“I know but still…stupid work doesn’t give us much time for each other”, the 20-year old grumbled, “The only time we can really spend time together is on weekends.” Reina hated that the two had to save their dates for days that began with the letter ‘S’. She couldn’t stand only briefly embracing or sneaking kisses from her lover during work.

Sure, the other girls knew about their relationship and didn’t mind at all, but management…now that’s a different story. In order to hide it, JunJun and Reina were forced to meet up secretly, and regularly dined out with the rest of the girls to avoid suspicion.

“Hai, done!”, JunJun cried out triumphantly, bringing a bowl of steaming gyoza to the counter, followed by a neatly formed mound of fried rice. She sat down on a stool next to her girlfriend and scooted closer.

“You’re such a dork, Jun”, Reina rolled her eyes, “Itadakimasu…MMM!” The gyoza was piping hot and burned her mouth a little. But the tender, chewy skin filled with juicy pork, green onions, cabbage and garlic were worth the scalded spots.

“Where did you learn to cook so well, babe?”, Reina asked, her mouth full of shrimp fried rice.

“My mom, mostly, but I became interested after taking cooking class in school”, the Chinese beauty replied, “It’s kind of my hobby” She smiled as she took a bite of gyoza, her eyes shimmering with happiness.

That look gave the younger chills, scooting closer to the counter, her skirt sliding up a little. “Nee, Jun…do you like cooking for me?”, she asked softly, the end of her chopstick poking at a pink shrimp. Somehow, she couldn’t look up at her girlfriend. She had just asked a question that had been gnawing at her for weeks…whether the woman she loved really enjoyed doing things for her.

JunJun stopped eating, her eyes stopping on Reina’s bowed head. “Reina-chan…I-I…of course I love to cook for you”, she answered in a slightly confused voice, “I love to do everything for you, Reina-chan…because I know it makes you happy”

“But do you REALLY?”, the smaller of the two asked again, her tone showing doubt and a little annoyance. Reina was never good at neither hiding her emotions nor properly conveying them, so her current agitation was evident.

“Reina-chan…I just said that I do, don’t you believe me?”, asked an even more perplexed JunJun. She was used to Reina’s moodiness for the most part, but it still threw her off on occasion. “Baby, is there something wrong?”

The 6th generation member hesitated before speaking again. “I love you, from the bottom of my heart…and I-I know I can be…well, less than easy to handle…”

Reina’s words were cut off, her mouth covered by JunJun’s. A kiss of love and reassurance. A kiss of passion and longing.

Pulling back, the 8th generation member replied, “I love you too, Reina-chan” Her arms wrapped around the thin, pale body in her grasp, pulling closer. Reina’s short black skirt brushed against her equally bare legs. “You’re the most important thing to me, baby”, she whispered, her face gently pressed against Reina’s ear.

JunJun effortlessly lifted Reina up, cradling her against her chest like a small puppy, and carried her out to the veranda. Reina’s bare feet touched down on the cold concrete, quick to maneuver her body in order to lean against JunJun’s taller frame. “Nee, look”, she smiled, “The sky…it’s beautiful” An endless carpet of deep blue dotted with tiny, far-away stars.

The elder grinned as well, pointing out that the sky looked nearly exactly like it did a few months earlier, when she had taken Reina on a surprise date in Okinawa. JunJun’s heart had melted that night, just seeing the look on her lover’s face.

That alone, made everything worth it. As hard as keeping the relationship a secret could be, every smile and laugh that Reina made during their time together was worth it.

“Jun?”

“Hmm?”

“Let’s go on a little trip next weekend. Somewhere outside of Tokyo, away from the city”

“Sure, anything you want”

“And Jun?”

“Yes?”

“I’m glad I got to see you tonight”

“Me too, baby, me too”

ReinaJun FTW!!!
