Title: The Lines Are Blurred ... [completed]
Post by: lil_hamz on July 10, 2006, 06:09:52 PM
I've been reading so many great fics around lately that I tried writing something too. Lets just say all you awesome writers are my inspiration :)  I'm totally new at this so forgive me for the crappy writing. I'm lousy at thinking up titles so I'll just use what's on my sig now :P Ok here goes nothing...

Chapter 1


[Dressing Room]

“They played us good.”

Risa undid the knot on the jacket tied around her waist as she started changing out of the red tracksuit.

“Yeah. Its so unexpected.” Eri muttered softly.

She was staring into space, a million thoughts running through her mind. What topped that list was Sayumi’s face. The hurt expression she wore and those eyes. Those big black eyes filled with tears.

Still changing out of her clothes, Risa didn’t notice Eri deep in thought.

“Well, they had to do SOMETHING. With ratings falling, what better gimmick than me viewing Miki-san as a rival and you making use of Sayu.”

“I don’t think Sayu thinks it’s a gimmick.”

Eri sighed and stared down at her hands. She fidgeted with them, reflecting the restlessness in her mind.

“You mean how she almost cried? I never knew the girl was so emotional.”

“You don’t know many things of her Gaki-san.”

“Of course not. Who could know her better than you Kamei.”

[Outside Sayumi’s Room]

“Sayu! Sayu! I know you’re inside Sayu. Open up! Listen, what happened was not…I didn’t intend…you know I’m not…”

Eri banged on the door and called for Sayu loudly not caring if anyone heard. Explaining things to Sayu was far more important.

“Sayu PLEASE. Just let me explain…”

“Leave me alone.”

The banging ceased as Eri heard a soft voice from behind the door.

“Just leave me alone.” Sayumi’s voice wavered as she fought to keep it steady. She had been crying ever since she reached her room.

“But Sayu I…”

“Please Eri. I need to be alone.”

Realizing that it was no use, Eri stepped back from the door. She took two steps towards her own room before turning back again.

“I’m sorry… Sayu.”

YAY!!!!!!!!! My first 3 readers. Thanks so much for reading and commenting :)
 
I wrote on this incident cuz I kept wondering how poor Sayumi feels and if their relationship got affected somehow. Hopefully not though. I love KameiShige :D

Yup yup. Okies heres the next installment. Hope you liked it too.


Chapter 2


[Ai’s Room]

“I still can’t believe you didn’t tell me Ai-chan.”

Risa combed her long hair in front of the mirror carefully after just taking a bathe in Ai’s bathroom.

“It’s ok for me. But poor Eri. Sayu must be so mad at her right now.”

Not getting an answer from Ai after a long time, Risa caught Ai’s reflection in the mirror and saw her carefully highlighting her script.

A look of annoyance appeared on Risa’s face as she realized that Ai probably hadn’t been paying attention to what she was saying.

“Ai-chan.”

“Ai-chan!”

Ai looked up from her script for a moment before going back to it again, oblivious to Risa’s displeasure.  

“Have you been listening to me at all?”

“Sure. You mentioned catching a movie on our day off.”

“That was 30 minutes ago. Can’t you ever pay me any attention?”

“I’m sorry Gaki. But I’m really busy. I have to prepare for the musical and there’s the upcoming concert…”

“You’re ALWAYS busy. You never seem to have any time…. for me.”

Risa said the last bit of her sentence quietly with a sigh.

But Ai had gone back to her highlighting and had clearly missed every word. Sighing, Risa let herself out of the room and closed the door behind her.




[Risa’s Room]

Risa sat on her bed and fell backwards onto it, staring at the ceiling with her still damp hair spread out beneath her.

“Maybe I’ve been a fool all along.” She thought sadly to herself.

Reaching for her cell phone, Risa looked at the wallpaper set on it and smiled at the image fondly. It was a picture of her and Ai hugging at her last birthday celebration.

It had been months but Risa couldn’t bear to change it to something else.

“If only you knew Ai-chan... if only you knew.”

This chapter marks the entry of Makoto and KonKon!


Chapter 3


[Cafeteria]

"Good Morning."

Risa smiled at the MaKonno pair who was sharing food off one plate.

"Morning." Konno replied, her cheeks stuffed with food as Makoto nodded in agreement.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLAB3.jpg)

"Must you two share your food? There"s plenty to go around."

Risa sprinkled pepper on her eggs benedict and watched in amusement at the pair enjoying their breakfast.

"This way we can try everything!"

Makoto beamed and flashed a megawatt smile as the knife in her hand jabbed the air in front of her.

Risa never understood how Makoto could remain energetic and optimistic every single moment.

Did she have a secret source of humanly consumable Energizer batteries that no one else knew of?

"Morning everyone."

Eri sat herself down at the GoRokkies table in the empty seat next to Risa.

Seeing her downcast look, Risa knew the outcome of her 'talk' with Sayumi had not gone well.

"We're done!"

Konno nodded happily at Makoto's declaration. She was satisfied too... for now.

"Well what shall we do next?"

"My sister sent me some candy from Hokkaido. They are really good."

Konno's eyes lit up as she remembered the huge sack of assorted candies lying in the corner of her room.

"What are we waiting for? LET'S GO!"

Makoto sprung up from her chair and pulled Konno along with her towards the elevator.

As soon as the breakfast buddies were out of earshot, Risa stopped eating and glanced at Eri.

"The talk with Sayumi didn't go well?"

"Talk? I didn't even get to see her."

Eri was visibly agitated. She pierced the slice of ham on her plate with such force that Risa was afraid the plate would crack.

Very nice lil_hamz! Are you sure this is your first fic? I sure can learn a lot from you. When I read the first few first lines I knew I saw Risa wearing that jacket around her waist before and I realized that it was taken directly from a H!M epsiode a few weeks back. Sweet! The AiRisa chapter is my favorite. Keep it up :)

I'm done with watching the 5th gens' sports DVDs and I still say, I LOVE the GOKKIES!!! :D
Oh and Reina's finally out in this chapter.

Chapter 4


[Lift Lobby]

Reina came face to face with Makoto and Konno as soon as the doors of the elevator slid open.  

“Morning!” They said in unison.

“Morning.”

Reina nodded in reply and stepped out of the elevator, forcing a smile on her pretty face.

“The food’s really good today! You must try the ham and eggs.”

Reina smiled again at Makoto’s recommendation, her eyes not failing to notice her sempais hands comfortably entwined.



[On Bus to Scream CM Location]

“Just get her a present. Something revoltingly sweet. You know how she loves those. ”

“I don’t think a present will do this time. Besides, I don’t think I can survive dressing up as Usagi again.”

Risa laughed out at Eri’s words. She remembered too well what Eri had to do to seek Sayumi’s forgiveness the first time the show revealed her being made used of by Eri.

“That was hilarious right Reina. Reina?”

Reina nodded absentmindedly and went back to staring out the window.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLAB4.jpg)

“Notice Reina acting weird lately?” Risa nudged Eri in the ribs and whispered.

“Nah. I’m the weird one remember? Hiding in small cupboards, drains, shoeboxes….”

“Not the image. I mean for real.”

“Oh. Don’t know about that. I never really notice Reina. The wotas do most of that.”

Eri shrugged her shoulders and went back to thinking of how to pacify her Sayumin.

“Ok we’re here!”

The PA’s voice reverberated throughout the bus and Risa forgot all about Reina as she kicked into Genki mode for the filming.


- Hmmm that's a good idea Sukoshi. I'll see what I can do :-P

Chapter 5


[Cafeteria]

The cafeteria was bustling with activities with most of the H!P gathered in it. It was just after rehearsals for the summer concert and everyone who hadn't met up for some time were all enjoying themselves with old friends. So much so that no one seemed to notice the tension hanging over the GoRokkies table.

"So! Practice went well."

Risa said a little too loudly as she tried breaking the awkward silence. Reina was sitting morose while Sayumi was obviously still upset.

"Yep it did. But itÂ’s kinda sad though. Since its our last and all."

Makoto looked towards Konno and the two seemed lost in each other's eyes for a moment.

"I don't think I did well. I should go practice again."

Excusing herself from the table, Ai left for the dance studio despite opposition from Risa.

Seeing Ai's departing figure, Risa wanted to kick herself, hard, for her stupid conversation starter. Not only did it not help matters. Ai has now gone off and left her by herself AGAIN.

"Why must Ai-chan be the one I admired? Why can't I like someone who gives me the time of day and acknowledges my existence?"

"Does she even know I've plucked my eyebrows?"

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLAB5.jpg)



[Makoto's Room]

"I wish we weren't pursuing different paths."

Konno and Makoto were lying side by side on Makoto's queen-sized bed. The two always opted for Makoto's room whenever they needed a comfortable hideout. Konno's room was solely for pigging out with her gigantic refrigerator always filled with glorious foodstuff.

"Me too. But you could always come visit. I bet no one will recognize us there. We can go out and do all those crazy stuff we had always wanted."

Makoto suggested in a bid to cheer Konno up. She never liked seeing her sad. It broke her heart.

"I guess."

Konno nodded but she couldn't help the tears that were quickly filling up her huge doleful eyes.

"Don't! Don't look at me like that KonKon."

Makoto shook her head and attempted to hide under one of her big fluffy pillows.

"What's wrong?"

Konno was genuinely clueless to Makoto's reaction.

"Every time I see you like that, I just wanna....."


----- Bye Bye KonKon. All the best in everything you do and I really hope to See You Again. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Chapter 6


“What? You wanna what?”

Konno pulled the pillow over her own head so she could hear what Makoto was saying.

Now the two had their faces only inches apart, so close that they could smell each other’s shower foam.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLABMakonoslep.jpg)

“I said I wanna hug you. And… and… you smell good.”

Makoto finally admitted. The blush on her face hidden by the shadows in the room.

“So hug me then. We always do.”

Konno laughed and pulled Makoto into an embrace.

“You don’t understand. It’s different. I… forget it.”

Makoto squirmed and moved her body so that her back was now facing Konno.

Staring at Makoto’s back, Konno finally worked up the courage to pop the question she had in her mind since forever.

“Mako?”

“Hmm?”

“I’ve always wanted to tell you something but didn’t dare say. But if I don’t now I’ll never get the chance after we graduate.”

“Is it important?”

Makoto turned around again and looked straight into Konno’s eyes when she sensed the urgency in her voice.

“It is… to me.”

“You aren’t going to tell me you’re pregnant and want me to be the kiddo’s godmother are you?”

“NO of course not!”

This time it was Konno’s turn to blush. She had never thought of getting pregnant before. Especially since it wasn’t technically possible with the person she liked.

“Ok.”

Makoto heaved a sigh of relief and waited for Konno to proceed.

“Ireallylikeyoumakochancanyoulikemetoo.”


-- This chapter is dedicated to Mako & KonKon. I will miss you both. :cry: At least there is still a month of Mako left to treasure.

In this chapter.... Makoto's reply to Konno's previous question PLUS.... the Sayu-Eri confrontation.


Chapter 7


Konno said everything so quickly it sounded like one long word. Taking in a deep breath, she braced herself for Makoto's response.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Makoto screamed for joy. She had carried a torch for KonKon ever since they shared a room together. But she had never dared to express her true feelings for the fear that Konno might start avoiding her.

Cuddling Konno close to her chest now, Makoto was sure she could hear her heart beating at high-speed. Burying her face in Konno's hair, Makoto inhaled the freshness of Konno's scent with relish.

"I've a secret to tell. When I said my heart went doki doki for you, it's true. I meant every word. In fact, I'm doki doki now too."

The pair glazed into each other's eyes like the numerous times before. But this time they weren't just friends. They were soul mates.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLABMakonosleep.jpg)



[Eri's Balcony]

Eri stuck her head over the ledge and gulped at the distance. The Rokkies with Koharu had rooms on the second floor of the H!P apartment block.

"It's not THAT high. I'd break a leg at the most."

Eri thank the gods silently that their generation was not allocated the third floor instead.

She would rather run the two flights of stairs up to find Risa than to break a leg AND arm if she fell now.

"Here goes nothing."

Clutching the items in her hand with a death grip, Eri swung one leg over the ledge and pulled herself up. Since Sayumi wouldn't see her or reply any of her messages, Eri could only resort to this step. Like they say, desperate times call for desperate measures.

Eri had reached Sayumi's balcony safely and was just about to rejoice when she slipped and fell on her knees onto the floor.

Hearing a loud thud, Sayumi stopped counting her hair tie collection and walked from her dresser to the screen door leading to her balcony.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLAB7.jpg)

"Ehh! Eri?"

Post by: Mikan on July 26, 2006, 09:47:54 AM
*waves a flag for Konno and Mako* yay yay yay! That was the most beautiful chapter I have ever read about those two! Oh gosh! I went Doki Doki!

Oh, yes Im so sorry I should give you deeper comments! Seeing as you are so kind to the Doki Doki thread :D

What I like - The pairings. I dont hear much about these couples so its young and fresh. Also the pairings are relevant. Not just random people stuck together for the hell of it. A story is good when its based on true events, am I right? It makes it deeper.

What I didnt like - It was hard to find something I didnt like about this story but I thought maybe you would think I was a blind fan if I didnt say something as constructive critisism. At the beginning when I started reading The lines are blurred I got the impression that it was..uh I suppose unedited. I cant think of another word. I suppose ammetuer in a way but thats not right either. Anyway - the point is that it suddenly changed and its not a problem anymore. So what ever you did, you did it well and I know you will keep doing it well.

Good luck!

Thanks for your support Mikan and katatsumuri :) I hope you will like what you read later on too.

I actually had TLAB on my previous sig cuz it was how I felt about not being able to choose among the gokkies and rokkies. I like them all :P Later when I decided to write this fic, I thought it kinda fits. I'm not sure why though XD

Chapter 8


Sayumi was still angry with Eri, but seeing her friend on the cold hard floor with her beautiful features scrunched in pain, Sayumi didn't have the heart to leave her there.

"AH, ah!"

Eri yelped in pain as Sayumi helped her to the bed. Sitting down slowly, Eri bit her lip to numb the pain in her knees.

"What are you doing on my balcony?"

Sayumi willed her voice to be as cold as possible. She was determined not to forgive Eri so easily this time.

"I.... I came to give you this."

Eri held out her hand and in it lay two sets of pink hair bon-bons.

"You climbed over just to give me this?"

"You wouldn't see me. I had no other choice."

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLAB8a.jpg)

"Are you crazy? What if you fell?"

"I figured I'd break a leg at the most."

Eri smiled sheepishly trying to keep the mood light.

"Oh Eririn!"

Sayumi cried in exasperation walking away from the bed. She didn't feel good at all that Eri was hurt. She didn't even know if she could hate her anymore.

"Sayu..."

Eri got up and tried to walk towards Sayumi but the pain caused her legs to buckle.

Seeing Eri's condition, Sayumi rushed to catch Eri and in the process, they both fell onto the bed with Sayumi on top.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLAB8.jpg)

Eri bit her lips so hard this time that a drop of blood trickled down her chin.

"Ahh Eririn, you're bleeding!"


-- Hmmm I didn't expect the part on KameiShige to exceed this chapter. But this couple is just soooo good to write :P The next chapter might be on them too. That is if anyone wants to read more of this pairing.

Chapter 9


Sayumi quickly used her thumb to wipe away the blood. Seeing her gesture, Eri was overjoyed with the concern Sayumi was showing her. The pain she felt forgotten momentarily.

"Sayu I'm sorry. I never meant to make use of you. I don't even know how...."

"Shhhh Eri. I don't wanna know."

"Sayu please listen. These bon-bons, I bought them for you. I knew you'd like them the moment I saw them. And I bought a pair too. I was growing out my hair so we could wear them together."

Sayumi was at a loss for words. She couldnÂ’t believe Eri would do such a thing for her. Her 'former' best friend was always saying how she like her short hair after cutting it and wouldn't keep it long again.

"So this was the reason for your decision to keep your hair again?"

"Yes. It was meant to be a surprise Sayu."

Eri added in sadly and looked away from Sayumi's eyes. The surprise was no longer of use now that Sayumi was mad at her.

Sayumi's large black eyes stared to water and a single teardrop rolled from them and fell onto Eri's cheek.

"Sayu?"

 Eri looked up in surprise to see Sayumi crying in her hands.

"Don't cry Sayu. Shhhhhh"

Eri wrapped her hands around Sayumi and pulled her close. She was glad to have risked climbing the balcony. It was worth breaking a leg if Sayumi forgave her.

"I'm sorry Eririn. But they said you were making use of me... TWICE. I was too hurt to think straight. I'm sorry I caused you pain."

Sayumi whimpered and laid her head in the nook of Eri's neck, bringing her hand up to stroke Eri's cheek tenderly.  

"It's ok Sayu. I'm just glad you forgive me. You do right?"

Eri rubbed Sayumi's back gently to comfort the weeping girl. The last thing she wanted was for beautiful Sayumi to cry.

"I do. Because I like you Eririn."

Sayumi mumbled and her warm breath tickled Eri's ear ever so lightly.  

"Sayu, I have a confession to make. I think the tests were right. I was using you all along."

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLAB9.jpg)

Chapter 10


Hearing those words, Sayumi pulled away from Eri in an instant and stared at her in shock. Her already huge eyes were even larger as tears threatened to spill out of them.

"What?"

"I think I was using.. . how you like me as a friend to hang around you. Because in reality, I.... love you Sayu."

"You...yo..u...love me?"

Sayumi stuttered and stared wide eyed at the girl who was lying beneath her.

Squeezing her eyes shut, Eri regretted her confession. Sayumi might get so freaked out after this that remaining even as friends would be a problem.

However, Eri's fears were unfounded as what happened next was nothing any of them had expected.

Sayumi had leaned back down and Eri could feel a warm sensation on her lips.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLAB10.jpg)

She had started to bleed again but this was made all better by Sayumi's tongue. Suddenly, cutting herself never felt better.  

"I think... I love you too Eririn."



[Risa's Balcony]

The night was cool and the sky clear with a sprinkling of stars in the velvet sky. Risa has always loved looking up at them to clear her mind.

This was especially useful when it came to matters concerning Ai. It was no different tonight as Risa leaned against the ledge and let her thoughts wander.

However, this was soon interrupted by a sound coming from below. Curious, Risa stuck her head further over the ledge and looked for the source of the strange noise.

Someone appeared to be sitting on the floor in the balcony below. She had her head on her knees that were pulled up against her chest.

"She's crying."

Risa said to no one in particular after a moment's observance.

Racking her brains, she thought hard to remember which of the junior members had been allocated the room beneath hers.

"Is it a Rokkie? Or the miracle girl?"


-- Bingo Sukoshi, you read my mind :D Sayu & Eri had their love confession :heart: 2 couples are accounted for now. If you still remember who they were :P

Chapter 11

Failing to come up with the answer, Risa slapped her hand on the surface of the ledge that consequently produced a sound alerting the weeping girl.

Realizing she had been discovered, the mystery sobber scrambled up from her position on the floor and ran into her room sliding the glass door shut behind her.

“Stupid, stupid, stupid!”

Risa scolded herself aloud and smacked her forehead with the same hand that caused the mess.



[Cafeteria]

Risa had one hand under her chin and with her other hand, pushed the food on her plate around with the fork. If anyone saw her now they would have probably thought that food served in the H!P cafeteria wasn’t fit for human consumption.

The sick feeling in her stomach made Risa feel like puking out what little food she did consume. And no, none of it was due to that time of the month. Rather, it was all because of the other members seated at the GoRokkies’ table.

“Let me feed you.”

Makoto carefully maneuvered a piece of steak into Konno’s waiting mouth and watched with affection as her chubby-faced partner chewed contentedly on the piece of medium-rare beef.

“Ahhhhhh.”

Konno cooed Makoto to open her mouth while slicing a similar sized piece of beef. This process was repeated between the two for all the other food items that followed.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLABMakonoeat.jpg)

Narrowing her eyes at the couple in a world of their own, Risa turned to her right side simply to be faced by the equally blissful KameiShige pair. Only this time, the work wasn’t uniformly divided.

Eri was truly enjoying the pleasure of being taken care of by the most ichiban kawaii member of the group.

“Would you like more fries Eririn? How about some fruits? Apples, mango, strawberries…”

“God, she has bruised knees. She’s not paralyzed!”

Risa yelled out over the noise in the cafeteria. However, her voice was barely audible to the couples as they continued their actions without pausing.  

Fed up of being left out of all the lovey-dovey stuff, Risa growled and stomped out of the cafeteria without returning her plate to the sink.

It was time she broke some rules.

Chapter 12


[Lobby]

Reina had woken up late this morning. She was just stepping into the cafeteria when a gust of wind comparable to a torpedo swirled out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her along in its fury.  



[Movie Theater]

“We’ll have the largest box of popcorn, sweet. Some nachos, hotdogs, chips… oh and coke. The NON-DIET kind.”

“Are you sure you wanna do this? You only lost weight recently.”

Reina counted the number of snacks Risa ordered with her fingers and decided to remind her sempai who wasn’t much older. Thirteen months to be exact.

“To hell with weight watching. To hell with diets. And to hell with rules!”

“It’s not like I’ll be getting another photo book anytime soon after AmaNatsu anyway.”

Risa grabbed the massive amount of snacks piled on the countertop and headed towards theater number 9. Reina shrugged her shoulders and followed after the fuming gokkie.



[45 Minutes into the Movie]

“Popcorn.”

Risa had finally simmered down enough to stop gorging herself and pushed the L-sized cup over to Reina.

“I don’t want any.”

“You could definitely put some weight on those arms of yours. You’re way too skinny. Besides, how could you reject my ‘popcorn love’?”

Risa snickered at her own joke. She still remembered the coupling song of Mr Moonlight ~ Ai No Big Band that she had chosen to sing at the 2005 fan club event held in Hong Kong.

“I said I didn’t want any!”

Reina raised her voice slightly this time and it cracked a little.
 
“Holy crap! You’re crying.”

Risa stared, jaw dropped at the wonky-eyed member who had tears escaping her eyes.

“Shut up. The movie’s sad.”

“It’s a freaking comedy?”

“Whatever.”

Reina turned to face the wall not wanting to explain anything more to her shell-shocked sempai. She was glad they had chosen side seats.

Chapter 13


[Streets of XXX]

The walk back to the apartment was in silence as Risa struggled for something to say.

The youngest member of the group next to Koharu was clearly troubled and it was up to her to set things right. After all, she had been placed in charged of the 6th generation one too many times.  

“You know, even though you’re yankee and all. You still can tell people stuff.”

“Yeah right. Do you seriously believe that anyone gives a damn to our feelings? We’re just money making machines.”

The retort from Reina shut Risa up. It was no use arguing with what was the truth.



[Reina’s Room]

Later that night, all was quiet and most of the building dark when Reina was awaken from her sleep by what she thought was a faint knocking on her door.

“I must be imagining things.”

Reina mumbled after reading the time from the luminous hands of her clock. 3 AM.

The knocking became incessantly louder until Reina crawled out from under the covers and made her way to the door.

“That took you long enough.”

Risa complained as soon as the door swung open to reveal a messy-haired Reina dressed in a tank and shorts.

“Gaki-san?”

“The one and only.”

Risa breezed passed the surprised Reina standing at the doorway and sat herself on the bed without waiting for an invitation.

“What are you doing here so late at night?”

“So early in the morning you mean.”

Risa grinned mischievously. She was enjoying every moment of watching Reina still in a daze after being woken from her beauty sleep.

“Whatever. Why…”

“I brought you your listening ear.”

“Huh?”

“Mr Pookie.”

Chapter 14


Risa brought out the teddy bear she had been hiding behind her back this entire time and trusted it into Reina’s arms.

“Mr Pookie will listen to everything you say. No complaints and no secrets will ever be leaked. He is sworned to secrecy.”

Slightly more awake than before, Reina raised an eyebrow and looked from Risa to the grayish teddy bear in her hands and back again to the figure seated on the edge of her bed.

“What the hell…”

“That’s all I came to say. Nighties.”

Getting up from the bed, Risa tapped Reina twice on the shoulder before flicking off the light switch.

In less than five minutes, Reina was engulfed in darkness once again with the soft click of the door being closed.



[Ai’s Room]

Ai flipped her Ribon No Kishi script close and squeezed her eyes shut. Except that it was no use. She couldn’t get the image out of her mind.

The image of Risa emerging from Reina’s bedroom at 3 AM in the morning.  

“What were they doing. Or rather, what did they do?”



[Dance Studio – The Next Morning]

“Ai-chan. Ai-chan!”

Waving her hand in front of Ai’s face, Makoto tried to get the girl's attention with no success. Ai was still staring off into space.

Makoto turned to Konno with a questioning look. But her puffy-faced companion only shrugged her shoulders and shook her head.

“You’ll be better off asking Gaki. There she comes.”

As soon as Risa sat down to complete the semi-circle that the other three gokkies had formed, Makoto nudged her in the arm.

“What’s up with Ai?”

Surprised to be asked such a question the moment she sat down, Risa looked over at Ai to see what had happened.

Seeing the usually perky Ai’s tired expression, Risa expressed her concern.

“You ok? You look tired.”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

Ai replied softly before asking.

“Can we talk?”


-- Mr Pookie's revealed. Hope you ain't disappointed bluekinoko. And yup I agree thats good psychology JFC :P You guessed it rndmnwierd! :lol:

Chapter 15

Sensing the weird atmosphere, Konno stood up and pulled Makoto along with her.

“Let’s go get a drink from the cooler.”

“Ok. Hey you gals want any?”

“Let’s go!”

Konno pulled Makoto off hurriedly with a jerk before the oblivious girl managed to get an answer from the two seated on the floor.

“Gaki….”

“Yeah?”

“What were you doing last night?”

“I was in my room. Reading that book you recommended. Why?”

“Just asking. It’s nothing really.”

Ai forced a smile onto her face. However inside, her heart was sinking. It was the first time Risa had lied. And the reason was none other than Tanaka Reina.



[Random Sports Arena Shower Area]

It was just after a game of Kick-base and the Metro Rabbits H.P had won for the first time. 3 – 1. Reina repeated the numbers in her head as she changed out of her sweaty Rabbits uniform for a quick shower.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLABmetro.jpg)

The team had just under 30 minutes of free time before they had to return to the studio for another round of filming for Hello Morning

Barely seconds after Reina had turned the tap on to feel the rush of the cool water on her warm skin that had endured the sun’s rays for the past couple of hours, someone else entered the shower area. And that someone was humming a familiar tune - Koe.

“Hey.”

Risa looked up from untying her laces to see the number ‘1’ printed on a cute red kick-base jersey. Reina was standing before her, hair dripping with water and clad in only her wet jersey.

I love your story,the chapters are short, sweet, and funny and then leaves you hanging at the end. Kameshige's my favorite couple and I like how you presented them.

Chapter 16


“Hey.”

Risa answered, barely able to tear her eyes away from her junior.

“Thanks for Mr Pookie. He’s been a great help.”

Reina smiled, a little embarrassed that she was saying thanks. It was a gesture she rarely did. The awkwardness was further amplified with her somewhat inappropriate appearance.

She had threw on the jersey and raced out right away without drying herself upon hearing her senpai’s voice. She couldn’t miss this chance of talking to Risa alone.  

“No problem. I’m gonna need him back though. So don’t get troubled too often. By the way, you look cute like this.”

Risa replied with a grin. However, the smile vanished from her face when she realized what she had said. Grabbing the towel and toiletries that she had already laid out on the bench she was sitting on, the youngest of the gokkie members quickly stuffed them back into her duffel.

“I don’t think there’s enough time for me to shower after all. I….I’ll see you on the bus.”

Watching Risa almost sprinting out of the shower area, Reina glanced up at the round mental clock hanging on the wall. There was still had 22 minutes left before the bus was scheduled to leave.



[On the Bus]

“Didn’t you say you were showering?”

Ai asked Risa noticing that she was still wearing her uniform. She also noticed the usually hyper girl was extraordinarily quiet ever since she got up the bus.

“Changed my mind.”

Risa murmured and turned towards the window. She wasn’t in the mood to speak to anyone after the encounter with Reina earlier. Especially when that person was someone she had just betrayed. Well sort of anyway.  

Reina trudged up the steps of the bus with her bag slung over her shoulder. She knew Risa was deliberately trying to avoid her. There was clearly still enough time for her to shower.

Scanning the seats for Risa hoping to get another chance to talk to her, she saw her sitting next to the window at the second last row. Unfortunately, the seat beside her was already occupied.

Looking from Risa to Ai, she saw that the other girl was staring at her. And the look she was giving her was anything but pleasant.

Chapter 17


[Risa’ Room]

“She’s so cute. Her singing’s great and she’s so cute. Her dancing’s awesome as well plus she’s so cute. GOD did I just say Reina’s cute?”

“I need something to take my mind off things.”

Risa dived into her bed and bounced a couple of times before settling down with ‘A Boy Named It’ in her hands. Flipping through the novel that Ai loved so much, Risa tried her best but she couldn’t concentrate on reading at all.

“Damn, I’m reading the same line over. Argghhhh, why must Reina be so cute!”

‘Beep, beep, beep.’

Flipping open the cover on her cell phone, Risa read the message she had just received.

“In her room, now?”

The clock on her bedside table read 2.50 AM.



[Ai’s Room]

Twisting the doorknob slightly, Risa let herself into Ai’s room. It didn’t matter that she hadn’t knocked as the gokkies did this all the time. They didn’t lock their doors or knock before entering. They were far too close for that.

“Ai-chan!”

“I’ll be right out!”

Risa sat herself comfortably onto Ai’s bed and switched the TV set on. She was randomly surfing channels and wondering what Ai could have wanted at this time of the day when her inviter finally emerged from the bathroom.

“Gaki.”

“Yup, what’s….. up?”

The last word in Risa’s sentence was barely audible when Risa saw Ai. This was the first time she had the opportunity to see a 2.50 AM Ai. Sure, the gokies had their fair share of sleepovers but this was different.

“Gaki.”

Ai repeated, twirling her damp long hair with her fingers. The room was dark, illuminated by only a single light in the far corner of the room.

It didn’t help that Ai only had a towel around her and water droplets were still glistening on her shoulder.

“It’s such a hot night. I need a bathe again. How about taking a soak…. together?”

Chapter 18


Risa blinked, hard. Was she dreaming? Was this really the same Ai who was always busy with practice?

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/risaaraba.jpg)

Fanning herself frantically with her hands, Risa wondered if her risen temperature had anything to do with the humid weather. Except she was relatively sure there was really another reason.  

“I can’t believe I’m getting this twice in a day.”

Risa mumbled under her breathe as she followed Ai into the bathroom. The tub was already filled with soapy bubbles and a sweet peach scent wafted into her nostrils.  

“This had better not cost me all the good luck I’m supposed to have for the next thirty years.”



[In the Bathroom]

“I never knew this was so good. No wonder Miki-chan loves taking bathes with Aya-chan so much.”

Risa sighed contentedly and leaned back on Ai who was sitting behind her. After the wild frolicking and splashing earlier, they had finally settled down to a comfortable position in the rather small tub.

Ai’s hands slowly found their way around Risa’s waist, however the older girl was wary of any negative reaction that Risa might display.

Satisfied that there seemed to be none, Ai proceeded to rest her head on Risa’s shoulder. A couple of minutes passed in silence as they enjoyed each other’s company thoroughly.

“We should definitely do this more often.”

“I raise two hands in agreement!”

Ai-chan giggled at Risa’s enthusiasm. It had been so long since they had any fun together.

“Let’s visit that new amusement park next week.”

The older girl suggested in a bid to further improve their relationship. She was sure it was a good plan. After all Risa loved amusement parks.

“YAY!! It’ll be fun. We could invite Tanakacchi too. She’ll love it!”  

“Tanakacchi? Since when did the two become so close that Gaki called her Takanacchi?”

Ai thought bitterly yet she looked longingly at her companion who was again splashing water gleefully. Reina was coming in-between them and she didn’t feel good about it at all. Not the least bit.

Sighing softly, she wished they were back at the time when all Risa could think of was her – Takahashi Ai.



[Stairwell – The Next Day]

“Stupid elevator. Why does it always have to break down when I need it?”

Reina grumbled aloud with only her echo’s resonance replying her while she slowly climbed the never-ending flights of steps up to the members’ lounge area, she had left her script behind AGAIN.

Too bad she didn’t have a walking personal dairy to remind her of every little thing like Eri had in Sayumi.

At the final flight of steps, Reina was surprised to see the figure of someone waiting for her at the top.

“What do you want?”

“What are you talking about?”

Reina replied the question with a straight face. She already knew the answer to that matter but thought it better to play dumb.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLABreinainnocent.jpg)

“Don’t act innocent with me Reina. What do you want with Gaki? In case you hadn’t noticed, she’s mine.”


-- Ai-chan x Gaki x Reina :heart: :heart: :heart: That's three times the love :lol:

Mikan: Cookies & Milk! :lol:

Chapter 19

Climbing the remaining four steps up to meet Ai’s level, Reina looked her right in the eye.

“Of course I know Gaki-san’s yours. Never intended to mess with that.”

Taking in every line and curve that accentuated Ai’s attractive body with those wonky yet sexy eyes of hers, Reina felt like an artiste admiring the grandest masterpiece.

“Did anyone ever tell you how hawt you are when you get aggressive?”

“Why are you hanging around her so much then?

“Are you trying to come between us?”

There were a million questions racing through Ai’s mind and every one of them was seeking the same answer - Reina’s motive.  

“The reason for that is… to get you to come to me. And it worked perfectly too, even if I do say so myself.”

Ai was really confused now. What sort of a plan was Reina hatching. And how did it involve her and Gaki too.

There was the unmistakable certainty that something was up the young yankee’s sleeve.    

“Get me to come to you?”

Nodding her head, Reina inched closer to Ai and slowly but surely forced her up against the wall. Recognizing that she had her prey cornered, Reina placing both hands on either sides of Ai and smiled like a triumphant hunter.

“I want you Ai-chan.”

“I want you so bad.”



[Dance Studio]

“Gaki-san, where’s Ai-chan?”

Sayumi and Eri walked up to Risa with their arms linked.

“I need to ask her something.”

Sayumi pointed to a page of her script where a paragraph was highlighted in pink. While Eri stood beside her beaming like the proudest boyfriend.

“I really have no idea. She said she was leaving her room ages ago.”

Risa looked around the rapidly filling studio hoping to catch a glimpse if Ai. When she finally spotted her a couple of minutes later, Risa rushed up to her right away.

“You’re late Ai-chan. It’s totally unlike you to be late for practice.”

“Uhh I got held up.”

Ai replied sheepishly, failing to hide the little smile escaping her lips.

“Ai-chan, I need help!”

Sayumi’s voice was loud and the two heard her whine from across the room.

“Coming!”

Ai yelled back and jogged over to where KameiShige were sitting. But halfway there, she turned around and yelled back to Gaki.

“Don’t forget to invite Reina to the amusement park too!”

“Invite Reina to the amusement park?”

Risa fought the urge to exclaim loudly. Did she hear right. Ai-chan was actually asking her to invite Reina along.

Replaying in her mind what happened the previous night, Risa was sure a look of annoyance had appeared on Ai’s face when she first made the suggestion.



[In Front of the Mirrors]

Satisfied with Ai’s tutorage, Sayumi was busy going through her lines again when Eri leaned her head close and whispered in a low voice.

“Did you see that suspicious looking mark on Ai-chan’s neck? Reina had one too.”

freya86: Somehow I always had the impression that Ai was possessive even if its only a little :P

katatsumuri: Wow I'm glad you like reading 5th gen stuff :)

wordsworth: Good guesses there, I'm not sure how things will go yet though.

Ahhhhhhhh, my secret fetish - bath times. Reading about Gaki feeling hot matched the kind of weather we are having at the moment. Although its cooling down a bit :( (I love the summer)

Jee, I want to have a bath now :P

I don't think there was anything with Risa and Reina (other than that bit when Reina was in the shower and Risa ran off when it got a little weird). Aichan just got jealous/possessive when she saw Risa walk out of Reina's room after she loaned "Mr. Pookie'. :)

So it's probably more like:

Risa --:heart:--> Aichan

Aichan --:heart:--> Risa

Reina --:heart:--> Aichan

Chapter 20


“I’m glad we all came!”

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLAB20a.jpg)

Makoto announced with a huge smile on her face. The weather was wonderful and the amusement park was practically deserted. Just ideal for idols like them to let their hair down and have a little enjoyment.

“Yeah, we can all have some well-deserved fun. Together too!”

Konno agreed wrapping her hands around Makoto’s waist. She loved hugging people and it was great that Makoto didn’t mind being hugged.

In fact, she couldn’t be happier with the hugs Asami showered her.

“It’s the first time we had an outing as a group that wasn’t work isn’t it.”

Reina asked Risa who had her hand slipped comfortably in Ai’s. Swinging their connected hands, Risa looked around and aimed for the newest ride.  

“Yup! Too bad Eri and Sayu decided to stay back and practice.”

“It’s kinda weird really. They were never so hardworking.”

Reina thought aloud recalling the rokkies temple audition where the three of them did the minimal for everything - dance, singing and chores.

“Well, maybe they finally decided to do something about the lazy bones they were born with. Something you should do too Reina.”

Ai never teased Reina like this before and it would have been obvious something was up to anyone who knew them.

However this was neglected by everyone else who were too preoccupied with their own thoughts.



[Dance Studio]

“Eririn, you’re so sweet to stay behind with me.”

Sayumi stole a glance at Eri’s reflection in the full-length mirrors of the studio and smiled when she saw the Kamei scratching her right elbow.

It was no secret Eri had a habit of scratching herself all the time but this only endeared her to Sayumi more. She thought it was cute the way Eri did it subconsciously.  

“Which part do you need help with next?”

Eri asked from a few feet away. She was lying on her tummy on the shiny wooden floors with her head propped on her hands and flipping through her own dog-eared script.

“Before we continue with practice I wanna do something.”

Sayumi crawled over to Eri on her hands and knees and said in the voice she used whenever she acted as the role of the apprentice devil in the Hello Morning Skits.

Before long, the opening notes of Irropoi Jerittai were heard and the lights in the studio dimmed considerably.

“I always wanted to do this with you Eririn. Especially when you looked so sexy with Koharu-chan during the dance sequence at our Rainbow 7 Spring Tour.”

Widening her eyes, Eri was a little taken aback by Sayumi’s bold move. Regaining herself quickly, Eri ran her fingers through Sayumi’s long black hair.

“Is this my reward for staying behind with you?”

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLAB20.jpg)

Nodding without a word, Sayumi’s heart started beating faster. Is this what doki doki feels like? It was a first for her but it felt really exciting.

“Then I want more… ”


-- Mako-chan graduated. Bye Bye, I'd miss you so much :cry: :cry: :cry:

wordsworth: I think so too. Ai + Reina = HAWT :heart:

JFC: Yankeeness rules!! :lol:

Mikan: Tee hee, I can totally relate :P

stefy: You think? Thanks loads :)

freya86: Looks like Ai + Reina's a popular pairing :P

Chapter 21


Eri pushed Sayumi backwards onto the floor gently and began enjoying her prize. The music from the speakers providing the perfect pacing for them.

Nothing was said for the next fifteen minutes until the two came up for air.

“I think we should… join Mako-chan and Kon-chan on their… jogging routines.”

“What? Why?”

Sayumi only managed to croak out two words before starting to pant again.

Sweeping the stray hair that had fallen across her forehead, she wiggled onto her side to face Eri who was lying barely two millimeters away.

“If this is how long we can… keep this up…. Doesn’t it say…. something about our stamina…. or something?”

Eri was catching her breath back quicker and was now able to pull herself up into a sitting position. She looked down at Sayumi, waiting for her response only to be met with a burst of giggles.

“You’re so funny Eririn. You say the weirdest stuff!”

“What? It makes sense… doesn’t it?”

Eri blushed when Sayumi laughter augmented until she was hysteric with laughter.

“Sayu, stop it.”

Eri poked at Sayumi trying to make her stop but the girl was already defeated in fits of laughter on the parquet floors.



[XXX Amusement Park]

“Let’s take the Ferris wheel.”

Ai pointed at the looming steel structure above them and gestured excitedly.

“That’s boring.”

“BORING!”

Risa and Reina both protested in unison. The two younger girls loved thrilling rides and the Ferris wheel just didn’t fall into that category.

“I promise it’ll be worth it.”

Ai said mysteriously with a glint in her eye. The tone in her voice was not lost on the girls.

In fact, their innate common sense had set the alarm bells in their heads ringing. They were well aware that a naughty Ai equates to an extremely HAWT Takitty.

Thinking for a second, Reina bit her lower lip and let her sentence trail off while tapping her temple with her forefinger.

“Well I suppose….”

wordsworth: Woah imagine that, Eri being your tutor. I think I might fail all my subjects so I can get extra tution :P

Chapter 22


[At the Bottom of the Ferris wheel]

“Which of you two are going together?”

The man operating the machine asked eyeing the three girls suspiciously. He was sure he had seen them somewhere before.

“Oh it’s fine. We can all go on the same carriage.”

Ai told the man solemnly. After he nodded his head to acknowledge and looked down to tear at the tickets she had handed him, Ai turned around to the two standing behind and shooed them off towards the awaiting carriage.

While Risa and Reina were seated down together on one side of the glass carriage waiting for Ai to join them, Gaki decided to watch Ai intently through the glass walls.

“What do you think she’s up to?”

“Who cares? She said it’ll be worth it.”

And when Ai suddenly flashed Reina’s infamous winking pose at Risa after catching her glaze, the gears in Niigaki’s pretty head started turning in overdrive.

“She’s still talking to the man outside. Something’s definitely going on here.”

Shrugging her shoulders and giving Risa a ‘whatever’ expression, Reina couldn’t be bothered to join in with Risa’s guessing game. She was more concerned with what followed Ai-chan’s impish look earlier.

The machines roared to life after Ai finally entered and the carriage swayed from side to side as it made its climb up the 27th stories it was said to reach.

The view from the carriage was breath-taking, nevertheless the ride was in silence until almost 25 stories up when Ai suddenly unzipped her suede knee-high boots.

“What are you doing?”

Risa exclaimed when she saw Ai removing her outer jacket too.

“We’ve got 20 minutes before the wheel starts up again.”

That was all Ai said before the three felt a slight rocking and the carriage they were in whined to a halt right at the top of the wheel.

“Oh I get it! I can’t believe you’re that slow Gaki-san.”

Reina clapped her hands in delight. She had caught on quickly and started removing her own boots.

Gahhhh…. Am I missing something here? You two…”

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLABrisashocked.jpg)

By now Ai has finished removing most of what she had on. She reached over to where Risa was sitting and pulled at her jacket tugging the girl over to where she was.

“Shut up.”

Risa was cut short by Ai’s tongue smashing into her own mouth and whatever words she had planned to say quickly became muffled sounds.

Now for Chap. 22:

[Ai] + [removing/remove/take off] + [any piece of clothing]

Put the following words in the same sentence (though this happens everytime in the "other fanfic section") and you've got a very hot, interesting and "I have to read it again" chapter. :) :drool:

20 minutes only? I bet the girls will be willing to continue where they left off in their respective rooms/places. :P

so...what should i say that wasnt said...it's hard !

first, i'm happy.
at first when i read your first chapter i didn't get anything lol...sorry, it's not your fault, i just missed the h!m you are refering to.
So to understand a little more, i kept on reading....and reading...and reading...i think i have spent 1hour on your fanfic lol...and i have to say i love it ! no wonder why guys here are so impatient.
the way you describe the girls so match them ! like when i read the chapter 12, i thought "wow so true" lol and the way you wrote it was so funny.By far the chapter i like the most.

and that..."Sayumi pointed to a page of her script where a paragraph was highlighted in pink. While Eri stood beside her beaming like the proudest boyfriend."
XD XD XD

i espacialy love to read your love-triangle , so it's sure we can have some crispy unexpected and interesting moment ! such as chapter 18, and the end of it.
"At the final flight of steps, Reina was surprised to see the figure of someone waiting for her at the top.

“What do you want?”

“What are you talking about?”

Reina replied the question with a straight face. She already knew the answer to that matter but thought it better to play dumb.

“Don’t act innocent with me Reina. What do you want with Gaki? In case you hadn’t noticed, she’s mine.”"

that made me laugh so hard...

and of course what happen next in the chatper 19.
the other good thing of reading your story, is that we can clearly imagine how they are when you describe them...
"“Did anyone ever tell you how hawt you are when you get aggressive?”"
awsome lol..i so imagine the two of them here hahaha and what an unexpected sentence for reina but that so fits her...

for the last chapter i didnt get it at first lol so i read it once more...so looks like it's going to get nasty there XD

sorry i wrote a long comment, and said what other have already said, but i just wanted to say good job and keep it up !

Chapter 23


Giving in to Ai’s advances, Risa pulled haphazardly at her own coat, trying to remove it quickly without breaking her very pleasurable kiss with Ai.

“Let me!”

Reina lunged at Risa and tore at her clothes with so much vigor that the other two were stunned for a moment.

“What?! We’ve only got 20 minutes.”

Reina stated as a matter-of-factly.

"Wait! Reina's joining in?"

Risa pulled at Reina's arms which were halted in their process and the yankee wasn't afraid to show her unhappiness. Reina wasn't a happy camper when it came to such interuptions.

"Of course I am. Right Ai-chan?"

The sly smile on Reina's face told Risa all she needed to know.

"Okay... so since I've been kept out of the loop so long, this better be good."

"Oh it will be. I promise. And I'm sure Ai-chan will be glad to help me."

The only sounds emerging from the carriage hanging in the sky after that weren’t coherent at all.

A line was already forming at the base of the Ferris wheel waiting for the ride to start up once more. The operator grinned and patted his trouser pocket lightly, happy to be 10,000 yen richer.  



[Elsewhere in the Park]

“Where did they go? They were just behind us a minute ago.”

Asami turned her head in various directions trying to catch sight of the missing threesome. It was nearing evening time and the park was beginning to fill up with people.

“They probably ran off somewhere to have a little fun.”

“Ah.”

Asami smiled lightly, she fully understood the hidden meaning behind what Makoto had implied.

“Gaki and Ai-chan I understand. But Reina too?”

“Haven’t you noticed something’s up between those three?”

Makoto reached for Konno’s hand and pulled her along when she began walking, trying to locate any eatery that served appetizing food.

“Reina has been hanging around Gaki-san much more lately. But it’s really unexpected. I’d always thought it would be…”

“Kamei?”

“You read my mind Mako-chan.”

Asami giggled softly at Makoto’s quip. Her laughter sounded like wind chimes made to sound by a gentle breeze and composed a beautiful melody with the birds chirping in the distance.

“That’s because I’m your soul mate KonKon.”

Makoto couldn’t resist rubbing Asami’s chubby cheeks between her hands that had grown bright red from her ‘soul mate’ comment.

“I love it when you get shy.”  

Asami looked down at the ground and shuffled her feet. She bashfully looked up again to gaze at Makoto and admired her profile silently as the other girl read the menu of the restaurant they were standing outside of.

“Hey, the menu looks alright. And they have private rooms….”

If I were the operator, I won't take Ai-chan's money as long as they'd let me watch the action. 10,000 yen is nothing compared to what's happening inside that carriage :P

Great quickie chapter lil_hamz! :thumbsup

Chapter 24


[In the Restaurant]

“That will be all.”

Makoto thanked the waitress who brought the food in with a polite bow.

“You’re welcome. Is there anything else you might need?”

“Well, you could make sure we’re not disturbed.”

“Yes please. We prefer a quiet meal.”

Asami added in to notify the waitress. Nodding and bowing as she left the private room, she knelt down at the exit and promised once more.

“We will ensure that you are not disturbed. Please enjoy your meal.”

Making sure to check that they were truly by themselves, Makoto finally sat down next to Konno and heaved a sign of relief.

“I hope it doesn’t happen again.”

“I know. It was really quite a close shave.

Konno agreed recollecting what had happened the last time they went out together for a meal. Just when they thought they could settle down for a nice piping bowl of beef ramen, their presence was discovered by a group of noisy schoolgirls.

Not only did they not have a peaceful meal, they had to abandon the bowls of noodles without a single bite to make a hasty getaway.

“It should be safe here.”

Makoto tapped on the walls at a few different positions as an extra safety measure.

“Just double-checking.”

Grinning at Asami, Makoto moved closer and placed her left hand on Asami’s right shoulder, brushing her hair-ironed shoulder length hair in the process.

Looking at Konno with loving eyes, Makoto memorized every detail of her face and then leaned in to plant a tender kiss on Asami’s lips.

The kiss was short and Makoto embraced the surprised Konno tightly in her arms.

“Asami-chan, we will soon be separated by the vast oceans and won’t be able to see each other. Even then, I’m contented that you loved me.”

Now sobbing softly into Makoto’s shoulder, Konno felt like her heart was being ripped apart.

She had tried hard not to think about being separated from Makoto after their graduations. But the reality was becoming clear and there was no way of avoiding the day that was drawing nearer.

“I’m already fulfilled.”

Asami snuggled deeper into Makoto’s arms, she didn’t have to say anything more. For the other girl already knew what was in her heart. Soul mates never did need words to communicate.


-- Mako-chan and KonKon :heart: I miss them all over again :cry:

Chapter 25


[Day After Theme Park Outing]

“Anyone remember what day it is?”

Sayumi bounded happily over to the others who were all stretched out in various positions in the members’ lounge area.

“Ermmm, 10 days to Asami-chan’s graduation?”

Makoto answered thoughtfully. Her head was moving up and down slowly in accordance to the rhythmic breathing of Konno whose stomach she was lying on.

“No.”

“It’s the day Nintendo’s latest game console launches?”

Ai offered helpfully. She remembered circling the date on her planner so she wouldn’t forget to place an order for it.

The daggers Sayumi shot from her eyes told her otherwise. Chuckling, Risa pressed the glass of orange juice she was holding to Ai so she could advert her eyes from the seething girl.

“Oh I know!”

Reina shouted eagerly and retrieved her legs from hanging over Risa’s to get into a kneeing position on the couch.

“It’s Yakiniku day at that restaurant we go to.”

NO! It’s my birthday!”

Sayumi screamed in such a high-pitched tone that everyone had to rush and cover their ears before their poor eardrums sustained permanent damage.

“Ahhh it’s Shige-san’s birthday.”

Konno was the first to realize. Feeling apologetic for having forgotten the cute girl’s birthday, she thought of how to make amends.

“Mako-chan and I are going to the karaoke later. Why don’t you join us?”

“No thanks. I wouldn’t want to ruin your date with Mako-chan.”

“We could go have Yakiniku?”

“Or we could go get you that console. It has awesome functions.”

Nothing the girls said could cheer Sayumi up. She was now extremely depressed that everyone had forgotten her birthday.

Risa who had been keeping quiet all this time finally spoke up.

“Why don’t you accompany her Kamei?”

Nodding hard at Sayumi, Eri pinched her nose lovingly.

“I’ll celebrate with you.”

Not saying a word, Sayumi with her head hanging low, let Eri wrap her arms around her shoulders and lead her back to their rooms.

“You think the plan worked?”

“Fabulously.”

Reina winked and grinned widely. Everything was going according to plan.

Poor Sayu. How could they forget? :9bbc76d5:

She doesn't know that she's in for a big surprise. Nice acting by the girls though. Wonder what they have in store for her.

But I'm pretty sure that getting a kiss from Eri or even by just spending the day with her could be one the best presents Sayu could ever get. :baa60776:

Chapter 26


Everyone was talking in hush tones and Konno looked up at Makoto who was meddling with the light switch.

“I hope Shige-san wasn’t too upset by our little gag earlier.”

“She’ll be fine. I bet she’ll be really happy when she finds out we had everything planned”

The group had crowded together in one of the spare rooms of the apartment block, which was already decorated with bright streamers and colored paper over the past few days.

Now armed with balloons, light sticks, poppers and confetti, they lay in wait for the crucial moment.

Finally hearing footsteps approaching, everyone shushed up and rushed to huddle at their respective hiding places.

When the doorknob turned with a click and Eri pushed the door open, everyone jumped out and yelled at the top of their voices.

SURPRISE!!!

“Ai-chan, Gaki-san, Reina. Kon-chan and Mako-chan….”

Tears had formed in Sayumi’s eyes when she realized what was going on. All of the gokkies and rokkies had gathered together to create this surprise birthday party just for her.

“I’m so….touched. Thank you all…. so much.”

Running up to everyone, Sayumi grabbed anyone she could and enveloped them in a great big bear hug.

“Group hug!”

Eri shouted loudly and embraced Sayumi from behind completing the inter generation hug.

Between squeezes and kisses, tears and laughter, Sayumi stated in the most determined voice she could muster.

“This isn’t just a birthday party for me. It’s a party to celebrate us coming to know each other. It’s also a celebration to cheer on Kon-chan and Mako-chan for their approaching graduations.”

“Wow Sayu, that’s so… mature and sweet.”

Risa patted Sayumi’s head in a kindly gesture. She had done it once on Eri when she had been one of the fastest runners and won the track event at the Sports Festival and another time on Reina when she got off a roller coaster ride in a wreck on Scream CM.

Now it was the remaining rokkie’s turn to be recognized by it.

“Stop hitting on my Sayu will you.”

Eri pulled Sayumi closer to herself, all of a sudden being rather possessive.

“Ah someone is jealous.”

Konno put her hand to her mouth and tried to cover a wide grin that had appeared on her face.

“Oh come on Eririn, it would be nice to share.”

Ai nudged Eri in the ribs and placed a hand on Sayumi’s arm suggestively.

“Yep, sharing is caring you know.”

Risa couldn’t help but ssexy beast. It was rare of Ai to tease anyone ever. So for that reason alone she wouldn’t let slip the chance of chorusing with Ai.  

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLABrisassexy beast.jpg)

“Besides, we shared.”

Reina gestured to the three people involved in the ‘Ferris wheel escapades’ and struck a winking pose just for the heck of it.

“Not today. It’s Sayu’s special day so I’m not sharing her with anyone.”

Eri declared with her infamous slightly puffed up cheeks that she always did on the World Children’s Game segment.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLABEricheek.jpg)

Then tiptoeing slightly to reach the taller girl, Eri planted her own pouty lips onto Sayumi’s.

The world seemed to stop spinning as the group watched the duo in slience, lost in their own world. For Sayumi, this was the best birthday present she could ever receive - Kamei Eri.


--

wordsworth: Birthday kiss from Eri! Sayu must be in 7th heaven :lol:

ChrNo: I got that before too. But in the end its alright as long you had a great day in the end right? :D

Erink: Thank you :)

KrazyForkamei: Definitely KameiShige for this special day :P

Saikami: It’s the down before the up and boy is it gonna be a real up and up XD

Rndmnwierd: Yes they’re fun aren’t they, I love set-ups too :heart:

Chapter 27


“Ahem!”

Makoto cleared her throat loudly and tapped her foot to get everyone’s undivided attention. Reluctantly, KameiShige broke their kiss and turned to face their senior.

“Well since the couple here already started demonstrating what we can do, let’s all have some fun tonight!”

Shouting at the top of her lungs in her usual genki voice, Makoto jumped animatedly around the others super hyped about the upcoming ‘fun night’.

“Wait wait, before we all lose ourselves, which I believe will happen soon enough, lets take a group photo.”

Whipping out the bulky Polaroid camera she had brought along, Risa ordered everybody to get together under the colorful streamers hanging from the ceiling.

“You’re still using that ancient thing?”

Reina poked at the camera in Gaki’s hands and didn’t bother to hide her bemused expression.

“Hey it works perfectly well. And it’s instant.”

Risa protested making a monkey face which included sticking her tongue out at Reina. Then pushing her towards the rest who had already gathered together, Risa rested the camera on a nearby table and set it to timer mode.

As the timer light on the camera started to flash a couple of times, Risa had an unexpected flash of  inspiration.

“Lets yell something other than boring old cheese.”

“Great idea!”

“Cool!”

With everyone for the idea, Risa told them her plan excitedly. When the final flash on the camera went off, the group of seven people was caught forever in a comical and sentimental picture that carried great memories.



[Risa’s Room Later That Night]

It was well into the wee hours of the morning when the gang split up and went back to rest in their respective rooms. Of course not everyone went back alone. But Risa did and left Ai and Reina to enjoy themselves with whatever they had planned next.

After taking a refreshing shower and with her hair almost completely dry, Risa lay lazily on her bed. Stroking the Polaroid photo with her forefinger lovingly, she couldn’t help but grin upon seeing the faces of her friends in the picture.

The gokkies were standing at the back with Makoto and Asami in the center. Ai was beside Asami while Risa was beside Makoto. Of course they all had their arms around each other’s shoulders.

The three younger girls were squatted in front of the group and Sayumi had her arms tightly wrapped around Eri’s waist while Reina was trying her hardest to squeeze in between them.

However the most important point of the photo was the bright beaming smile each girl wore on her face.

Picking up a yellow glitter pen sticking in the pen holder of her desk, Risa scribbled across the photo in her nicest handwriting what they had yelled out earlier.

“The lines are blurred!” For this was two generations that really didn’t feel awkward together despite the difference in ages and seniority.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/gppic.jpg)

Pulling open the drawer of her bedside table, Risa took out the leather bound book she kept inside. Turning to the page after her last entry, she started to write her newest entry.

Date: July 14th 2006      
Weather: Cool and cloudy
Feelings: Happy yet sad

Chapter 28


Dear diary…

We just celebrated Sayu’s birthday. The surprise party we had planned for her went incredibly well. Everyone was really happy and we all enjoyed each other’s company.

One thing that really touched me was what Sayumi said. She had one of her rare mature thoughts and ‘shared’ her party with Makochin and KonKon. Looking at her and Eri, I’m glad they get along so well. I do hope they will always be so blissful together.

Makochin and KonKon will be leaving us soon and even though I’m sad to see them go, I’m thankful it’s for what they believe in. And I have no doubt that both will find what they are looking for and become stronger in the process. I wish them the best of luck in their endeavors.

With their leaving, I’m grateful to have Ai-chan and Tanakachi by my side. The three of us might be different in many ways but together it just feels so right. For some reason, I know we will become even closer with time.

I cried a lot when Makochin and KonKon’s graduations were announced, but now I have decided to keep a smile on my face. I believe what the gokkies have is very strong and will not change even if we are apart. I won’t forget the times we shared so until we get together again, I’ll be waiting. I will always be waiting…

Gokkies deshita!

Sincerely,
Risa



Before she closed the diary, Risa looked at the picture again then slipped it between the pages of the book. This photo will become one of her most prized processions. It will constantly remind her of all the joy that being in Morning Musume has brought her.  



[Hallway]

Supporting Sayumi down the deserted hallway, Eri tried hard to keep the girl from falling by half pulling and half dragging her to her room.

Exhausted by all the exercise Sayumi was giving her, Eri decided to bring her back to her own room instead. It was much nearer to where they were.  

By the time Eri got Sayumi into her bed and managed to take her boots off, she was already panting like crazy.

“I knew I should have tagged along on Mako-chan’s jogging trips.”

Knowing that she was probably drenched in perspiration from the night’a activities, Eri was just thinking of taking a nice long soak in the tub when Sayumi pulled her down onto the bed.

“Why are you wearing this? Don’t you hate wearing them?”

Sayumi’s hand was clinging onto the polka-dotted tie hanging loosely around Eri’s neck.

“I do hate wearing them. But you said you liked me in a tie and since it’s your birthday and all…..  ”

Eri let her sentence trail off as she began to get really hot under the collar. They were in bed, their position was awkward and the tie just made matters worst.

Wrapping her arms around Eri’s neck and pulling her closer, Sayumi breathed deeply in the scent of Eri’s hair. It smelt so good she almost felt like she was floating.

“Sometimes I’m glad you’re not really a guy. I know you will have tons of girls falling at your feet and I just can’t stand the thought of that happening.”

It was the first time Eri saw Sayumi heavily blushed and with eyes threatening to close any second, she was sure it was the effect of all that liquor the other girls had forced her to drink earlier. But for some weird reason it ignited Eri’s burning desire to kiss her.

“Do you know how important you are to me? I don’t think I can live without you Eric.”

With that, Sayumi pulled tighter on the tie with her left hand and went for Eri’s shirt next. She wasn’t sure if the alcohol she had consumed was the source of her new found boldness but it was nice seeing two Eris once in a while.

I’m lucky to have you.”

Whispering softly into Sayumi’s ear with a contented sigh of her own, Eri slipped her hand under Sayumi’s blouse and made contact with the silky bare skin beneath before reaching for the zip on her mini skirt…

One thing that really touched me was what Sayumi said. She had one of her rare mature thoughts and ‘shared’ her party with Makochin and KonKon.

thinking of how egocentric Sayu is , it's hard to imagine her doing those kind of stuffs XD

Chapter 29


“Now for part 2!”

Eri kicked off the blanket and jumped out of bed all of a sudden and raced towards her closet situated at the other side of the room.

“There’s a part 2?”

Pushing herself up to a sitting position, Sayumi watched with wide eyes at Eri who has started flinging clothes out of her closet in bundles.
 
“Ermm Eririn, what are you doing?”

“Come sit here and wait a while.”

Eri waved Sayumi over and made her sit inside the rather tiny wardrobe as she continued tossing out shirts, blouses, jackets and shorts onto the increasing pile on her bed.

Now sitting cross-legged on a small mountain of what she assumed was jeans, she had her leg tangled up with a towel, or bathrobe.

“You know this is weird right?”

“It’s really exciting. You’ll see.”

Grinning a really wide smile, Eri flung out more of her clothes onto her bed and onto the dresser chair that stood beside the bed before climbing in next to Sayumi, and squashing her in the process of trying to close the door.

“Aren’t you going to throw these out too?”

Motioning to the pile of clothes in a mess beneath her, Sayumi asked and tried to rescue her leg, which was falling asleep from numbness.

“There has to be some left in here for it to be fun.”

Eri explained plainly and crawled nearer to Sayumi by feeling in the dark.

“Have you tried doing it in a dark closet before?”



[Reina’s Room]

The moonlight that shone through the double glass doors of Reina’s balcony fell on the face of the figure lying on her side on the bed. Reina was sitting up as she admired how beautiful and peaceful Ai looked like this. The girl had what looked like a satisfied smile on her face as she slept.

“You’re so beautiful. It’s true.”

Reina leaned down and kissed the tip of Ai’s nose lightly, careful not to wake the tired girl up. Playing with the hair framing Ai’s face, Reina was completely immersed with contentment.  

She still couldn’t believe Ai was hers even though you would have to kill her before she would ever admit it to anyone. Her pride would never let her and it had always been her nature to show only her tough side.  

“I really love you.”

Lying down now snuggled close to her companion, Reina put an arm around Ai’s waist and proceeded to fall asleep like this. It wasn’t a very comfortable position for her but it didn’t matter. Being close to Ai like this was what did.



[A Week Later]

With only two days left before Asami’s graduation concert, things had gotten depressing at recordings and the atmosphere at the apartment block was just as miserable.

It was probably the time to not do anything stupid but Sayumi didn’t know what she was about to do soon would be the start of a whole chain reaction.



[Sayumi’s Balcony]

It was eleven o’clock at night and Sayumi has been watching her for the past 30 minutes from her balcony. Convinced that it would be fairly safe to approach her at this time of the night, the girl decided to put on a coat and go downstairs.

At the ground floor, Sayumi cautiously tiptoed up to her fellow rokkie who was sitting quietly in the swimming pool.

“Reina.”

Sayumi called out to Reina in a low voice but the reply she got wasn’t the low key one she was hoping for.

“Wha….WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!”

“Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”

Putting her index finger at her lips, Sayumi urged Reina to keep quiet.

“Keep it down will you, it’s eleven at night!”

“GOD Sayu, you scared the crap out of me! So you know it’s freaking late now too do you. Why the hell are you sneaking around calling my name like that?”

Reina was annoyed, really annoyed with Sayumi for interrupting her little moonlight dip. Her mood was all ruined now.

“I needed help on something.”

“You couldn’t pick a better time could you.”

Reina’s yankee mode was apparent but Sayumi wasn’t the least bit deterred. She was determined to get what she wanted tonight.

“Sorry about it but I needed some er…. lessons on how to…. make Eri happy.”

Chapter 30


It was late at night and normally this part of the apartment block would be silent but tonight was different. The lights to one of the dance studios were on and inside practicing were two members from the popular girl group Morning Musume.



[Dance Studio]

Almost everyone had gone off after the practice three hours ago leaving Ai and Risa behind. This was the consequence of Risa being ordered sternly by the dance instructor to polish up her routine before practice the next day. Bidding Reina goodbye earlier, Ai had firmly decided to keep Risa company while she finished up.

“You alright Gaki? You seem a little out of it.”

Walking over to Risa who was packing up her stuff into the bag lying on the floor, Ai watched with concern at the girl who had blood-shot eyes and looked pretty tired.

“I’m fine. I think I need the restroom though.”

Risa avoided Ai’s eyes and made up an excuse to leave the studio. She needed to escape to the security of someplace secluded before she lost it.

“Sure, I’ll wait for you.”

Ai took Risa’s bag out of her hands as soon as she stood up and slung it over her right shoulder.

“I’ll be back in a bit.”

Giving Ai a small smile, Risa walked out of the studio towards the restroom that was just nearby.

With Risa gone, Ai’s mind drifted off to the events at the rehearsal earlier. Deep in thought as she was doing so, Ai was certain something was up with Risa as she kept missing steps the whole time.

She was worried that the instructor would point her out to give her a piece of her mind. And unfortunately that did happen.

As the minutes on the large mental clock in the studio ticked by, Risa still wasn’t back and the older girl began to get worried. Putting their things down onto the floor, she set out to find the youngest gokkie.



[By the Pool]

“Put your hand here. No…. here!”

Reina threw up her hands in exasperation. Tutoring Sayumi was like trying to teach a cow to do tricks. If that was even possible. Now she wondered how Ai could have accomplished getting Sayumi to understand their confusing dance steps so many times before.

A sense of newfound admiration filled her up for the girl she already adored as she compared flawless Ai to the clumsy girl lying next to her.

“My hand is here. Wait…. where’s here again?”

Sayumi slid her hand slowly down Reina’s thigh trying to find that specific spot that would get Eri excited. According to Reina, it was a surefire method and worked every single time.

“Not there, HERE!!”

Grabbing Sayumi’s hand roughly, Reina slapped it down onto her own thigh a little more forcefully than she had planned. It stinged a little but it couldn’t be helped with the irritation that was growing with every second that passed.

“With your ability to follow instructions, I really wonder if you can operate machinery.”

Trying extremely hard to not yell at Sayumi took every ounce of Reina’s patience. They have been at it for about an hour and Sayumi didn’t look close to mastering the concept at all. Desperate to get the lesson over, Reina thought of a new idea that might hopefully do the trick.

“Let’s try to get into the mood here. Maybe then it’ll work.”

“Okay. So what do we do?”

“We strip.”

“If that’s what I have to do to learn this, so be it.”

Undoing the buttons on her outer coat, Sayumi paused a while and looked up at Reina to mutter something before going back to the rest of her buttons.

“You know, I can work a hairdryer just fine.”

Seriously, last time I was reading while doing some work but I ended up having to read it all before actually going back to my work.. :evil: The Reina and Sayu thing was amusing,that's just Sayu isn't it :D Anyways, I hope Risa will be okay very soon, Risa being sad makes me sad too :(


But if you must, the sadness may go on a little longer >_<

Chapter 31


Standing at the entrance of the isolated washroom, Ai stared down at the walkway that led to the cubicles. For some reason it seemed never ending and awfully dark.

Perhaps it was because of the single light that was flickering in a rhythmic manner, or maybe it was due to the shadows that ran silently along the wall.

“I really shouldn’t be here.”

A part of Ai told her to run for it but yet another component of her mind reminded her that she couldn’t leave without finding Risa first. Taking a deep breath, Ai took careful steps down the walkway and reached out her hand to push at the door of the first cubicle.

The door swung open slowly with a soft creaking sound raising the hairs on Ai’s arm.  For a second she imagined herself bolting for the exit and was surprised that her hands and legs had continued moving on to the next cubicle.

The second, third and fourth cubicles didn’t include Risa either and Ai was beginning to think she had somehow missed the girl when she came out in search of her.

Before she had the chance to push open the door of the last cubicle, Ai heard a soft wailing like sound coming from behind it. Scared out of her wits, she almost screamed like crazy until she recognized the owner of that voice. Risa?



[In the Bushes]

“I’m being invaded by bugs. Must we really do it here?”

Rubbing at her arms, Reina grumbled at Sayumi loudly. They were hidden in some bushes near the swimming pool as Sayumi tried her darnest to master the ‘happy art’.

Pleeeeeeeeeeease Reina. We can’t do it by the pool. What if someone sees us.”

With her husky voice and huge doleful eyes, Sayumi tried working her kawaii charms on Reina to get her to remain concealed within the prickly shrubbery.  

“You really mean what if Eri sees us.”

As lousy a mood as she was in before, Reina couldn’t help but take a dig at Sayumi. She really does like her fellow rokkies even if she appears harsh at times. And seeing how much effort Sayumi was putting in for Eri’s sake, Reina actually felt a little respect for the girl.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLABreinasayu.jpg)

“You’re getting better. So stripping was a good idea after all. Or are you really just a little taken by me?”

It was meant to be another poke at Sayumi but the way Shige-san recoiled and looked away, told the young yankee that her remark struck closer to home than she had intended.



[Toilet Cubicle]

“Risa what’s wrong?”

Kneeling down next to Risa who was crouching in a corner of the small cubicle, Ai stroked her head gently to try and get the sobbing girl to talk.

“Ai-chan….”

Was all Risa said before continuing to cry once more. It took all of Ai’s willpower to not cry along with Risa when she saw the tears streaming down her cheeks. Hugging her close and taking her snuggly into her arms, Ai rested her chin on Risa’s head.

“You know you can tell me anything right? I’m always here.”

They remained in that position for some time until Risa calmed down enough to talk about what was troubling her.  

“I was so stupid for even thinking that someone like me will able to fit in a group as good as Morning Musume. I was never popular and not really needed. Maybe I should leave with Mako-chin and KonKon.”

Pulling the hands holding her away, Risa leaned back against the cold walls and looked towards the cubicle door that was left ajar by Ai.

“Why do you say stuff like that?”

Chapter 32


“Stuff like what?”

Murmuring so softly in her reply, Ai would not have been able to hear Risa’s respond if not for the quietness of the washroom they were in.

Someone like you. We’re lucky to have you and you know it. You’re beautiful and smart and loyal and funny…. You’re special.”

Fumbling at the roll of paper towels dangling just next to her, Risa tore off a few sections and wiped at the fresh round of tears that Ai’s speech had unleashed.

Tearing off some towels herself, Ai dabbed at the tears that Risa had missed and swept the younger girl’s fringe to one side with her hand. Watching Risa blow her nose noisily, Ai said something else on further thought.

“Okay maybe not so much of the smart part but you know what I mean.”

Lifting her head to look Ai in the eye, Risa didn’t speak. But Ai could tell by the changed expression in her eyes that she had managed to get through to the depressed girl.

“You’re supposed to cheer me up Ai-chan, not take digs at me.”

Risa protested with a pout that was quickly replaced with a genuine smile.

“Well you’re smiling aren’t you?”

Waving Risa’s objection off with a smile of her own, Ai continued rambling on with her unfinished speech.
 
“You don’t have to believe me, but it’s true, and I know you better than anyone. We need you. So don’t go running off and crying by yourself again. Whatever happens, I’ll be here for you.”



[Within the Undergrowth]

“Sorry, I thought I saw some bug near you for a second.”

Grinning sheepishly, Sayumi offered this explanation for her sudden reaction earlier.

“Oh, right.”

Nodding, Reina accepted the reason with little protests although it felt a little too far-fetched even for her.

“I wonder if she’s hiding her affections for me. Maybe she secretly likes me.”

That thought made her laugh out loud but her happy laughter was cut short by Sayumi’s frenzied attempts to drown out any sounds that might escape from the clump of bushes.

“Reina you’re acting stupid, stop letting your imagination run wild.”

The silence that hung in the air as Sayumi returned her concentration to her most chief task at hand was strangely comforting to Reina. It sure beat having to hear some weird confession by Sayumi. Was there going to be any?

“I thought Reina wanted a love confession?”

Reina slapped herself mentally and chased the second wild notion that night out of her mind. Trying to clear her obviously polluted thoughts, Reina let her eyes wonder and unwittingly they came to rest upon Sayumi’s naked form.

Under the moonlit sky, the lanky girl’s pale skin seemed to reflect the moon’s rays beautifully. Her jet-black hair and eyes only added to the exquisiteness of this splendid image.

“Wow, woot woot…..”

Resisting the urge to whistle, Reina bit her tongue and swallowed hard, but doing both actions together only made her choke on her own saliva.

“Gah! I might accidentally kill myself one of these days.”



[Back at the Washroom]

Suddenly sitting straighter up, Risa raised both hands to cover Ai’s eyes. She held them there for a moment as if contemplating her next step. Then closing her eyes, she planted a soft kiss on Ai’s lips.

“Thank you.”

When Ai reopened her eyes to look at the girl sitting in front of her, she felt blissful and guilty all at once. Risa was a wonderful girl, she didn’t deserve having to share a person she loved with anyone.

“I’m so sorry Risa. But I can’t give up Reina either.”

Thinking to herself, Ai was determined to treat sweet Risa much better than before. She remembered seeing the moon hanging high in the sky on her short walk over to the washroom and decided to invite Risa for a nice walk.

“The moon tonight looks really beautiful. Shall we take a walk by the pool?”

Then jumping up in one smooth motion, Ai bent slightly and extended her hand in a gentlemanly pose.

“My gosh Ai-chan, I see all that RNK practice wasn’t lost on you.”

Slipping her slender hand into Ai’s, Risa squeezed it lovingly.

“I’d love too.”

Chapter 33


[Eri’s Room]

“Jump jump take off shiyouze!
Tenshi no hane wo motte iru
Miagereba  mirai
Boys & Girls! Be Ambitious~~~”

Eri sang the group’s new single in a light-hearted voice as she stepped out of the shower. She had just taken a quick bathe to refresh herself. It was like routine for her as she did it every night before going to bed.

Sliding open the little cupboard where she kept all her toiletries, she took out the pink and white hairdryer and proceeded to plug it into the wall plug.

“Hey hey happy na mainichi
Yashinteki de iin ja nai ka
Minna datte onaji
Hitori ja naize”

However, before she could continue with the next verse, the hairdryer in her hands made a strange sputtering sound and fell silent.

“Eh?”

Shaking and smacking at the appliance, Eri tried to get it working again without success.

Puffing up her cheeks, she set it down on the vanity and left the room in a huff to try and borrow one.

Outside in the hallway, Eri was surprised to not see light under the doors of her fellow rokkies.

“That’s strange, I thought Sayu sleeps with the light on. And Reina doesn’t even sleep till the sun is almost up.”

Shrugging her shoulders, she decided to try her luck on the gokkies level instead. Being a little woozy from the sleepiness she felt, Eri pushed at the lift button even though it was only a floor up.



[Gokkies Storey]

When the elevator doors slid open, she was again astonished to see the darkness below the doors of every room except Makoto’s.

“Knock knock.”

Eri was sure she heard a yep then a rustling of papers before the door opened and she was met with a scowling Makoto.

“Kamei-chan? What’s up.”

Makoto was rubbing her knee with one hand while trying to balance with her other hand leaning against the doorframe. It was evident that she wasn’t happy at being interrupted with whatever she was busy with.

“Sorry Mako-chan but could I borrow your dryer? Mine’s been faulty ever since Sayumi borrowed it.”

Noticing Eri’s damp hair was already soaking the top of her PJs, Makoto made a face and stepped back from the entrance to let her junior in.

“It’s in the bathroom.”

When Eri found the sky blue hairdryer, she observed that the bathroom was filled with toiletries of both colors – pink and blue.

“Mako-chan, do you need so many toiletries? They are almost repetitive except for the colors.”

“The pink ones are Asami-chan’s.”

Makoto replied the question like she’s been asked it a thousand times before. And maybe she was considering how often the gokkies sleep over in each other’s rooms.

“What’s that?”

Pointing to the black wire she had stepped on as she exited the bathroom, Eri saw that it ran from a wall plug to under the bed.

“That’s….. nothing.”

Makoto lied not wanting to tell Eri what the wire was for.

Mako-chan, I won’t tell if it’s a secret. You know I won’t.”

“Oh alright.”

Giving in to Eri’s persistent whining, Makoto knelt down on the floor and lifted the bed sheet that was hiding the space between the bed and the floor. After sometime, she reemerged with a device in her hands.

Staring at the silver shiny gadget in Makoto’s hands, Eri was amazed.

“Cool!”


-----

Are you all gonna kill me for not having anything about TakaGaki and SayuTanaka in this chapter? But there is a reason for this :D  So please look forward to the next installment for more poolside action :P  

wordsworth: It's back to poolside action in the next chapter :P

jafeijai: ...dun dun DUNNN.... made me laugh out out. Will it be a plot twist? Hmmm I really don't know yet XD

ChrNo: I was wondering if I made it obvious enough that the foursome were going to end up at the same place. I guess I did ;)

rndmnwierd: Strawberries and honey pie XD

Yuuyami: Drumroll for the next chapter please :lol:

Oh well, at least I finally checked it now... wee, the sad part's (temporarily!?) over!

But now we're gonna have the confrontation (assumption, since it would be weird if TakaGaki just walked past Sayu and Reina without noticing XD)! I don't know if I should be looking forward to an angsty part or a massive-pairing part or not :P Thinking about it, how come Sayu and Reina couldn't do it in one of their rooms or something.. oh wait, then we wouldn't have a story here would we :D


O_O! I see a new chapter right when I was previewing this reply! Gahh! No confrontation yet, but if there's a reason for this I'll be more than willing to wait ^^.

And, Makoto's "device"... it's not what I think it is, right? :o

Chapter 34


“But what is it?”

Eri went and knelt down next to Makoto in an attempted to look at the machine up close. Cocking her head to one side, she studied the unique metal piece.

“Don’t you remember? The night we were all lazing in the lounge, there was an advert on TV.”

“Oh I remember!”

Bouncing up and down excitedly, Eri recalled seeing the advertisement a few times in the same commercial break.

“Kon-chan mentioned wanting to get it.”

Watching Makoto turn the object around in her hands, Eri felt a tinge of envy that Konno had someone like Makoto who thought of her when she did anything.

“Precisely, I wanted it to be a surprise but I just can’t get the damn thing to work!”

Flipping through the instruction book, Makoto was obviously someone not good with following directions.

“Let me see.”

Taking the thick manual from Makoto, Eri turned to the index page then thumbed through to the relevant section. You could almost see the alien antennas sticking up from her head as she made contact with whatever being that was teaching her how to go about doing this.

“Hmmmm… seems simple enough.”

 

[Poolside]

“You know, its getting awfully chilly, maybe we should go.”

The breeze that blew through ruffling the leaves made Reina’s teeth chatter. She vowed never to try teaching Sayumi anything ever again. Leave that to the girls with patience – Ai or the girls with love – Eri.

“It is getting a little cold…”

Taking that as a yes, Reina crawled around trying to gather her clothes that were strewn around earlier in the heat of the moment.

“Where’s my bikini top”

“Did you see my undies?”



[20 Feet Away]

“Did you hear that?”

Ai’s ears pricked and the hairs on her arm stood on end the second time that night. There was a loud rustling sound coming from somewhere near where they were and she was sure it wasn’t her imagination.

“It’s probably the wind.”

“Are you sure? Maybe we should check.”

Pulling Risa closer, Ai felt comforted by her warm body and wrapped her hands tighter around Risa’s arm.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLABrisaaiwalk.jpg)

“Even though I’m probably right, we still should never ‘check it out.’ That’s the number 1 rule from all horror movies.”

“You know I won’t let up if we don’t.”

Heaving a resigned sign as compliance, Risa let Ai lead her over to the clump of shaking bushes. She knew she would only be fighting a losing battle if she had insisted on returning to their rooms without checking first. It was no secret that once Takahashi set her mind on something, there was no changing her mind.

Creeping up closer to the undergrowth like a pair of Siamese twins, Risa swore she had this bizarre sensation that something was going to happen. She imagined herself boasting Spiderman’s innate ability to sense danger and the most urgent task at hand was to prevent Ai from reaching those bushes.

“I’m certain its zilch, lets go.”
 
Just as Ai turned around to see why was Risa holding her back, something, or rather someone burst out from within the shrubbery.

“"AHHHHHHHHH there’s a bug!!! There's a bug! What I saw earlier really was a bug!”

Eyes transfixed on the hysteric figure ‘dancing’ among the bushes, Ai and Risa stared with wide gaping mouths at her and the subsequent form that emerged moments later.

“Sayumi?”

“Reina?!”

TydusArandor: “I never saw this one go bold even though it had over a page of new replies T_T.” <---- Try checking back more often? :lol: What did you think the device was?

wordsworth: Hahaha yeah, maybe Makoto has this secret of an alternate identity that noone knows. And she left MM to concentrate on it :P

Anghellic1: The name's Mako.... PiMako :lol:

Sukoshi: This idea is better than what I thought of. Maybe I’ll include the telescope somewhere else ;)

Yuuyami: Yep yep I have my hardhat on so “savvvvu” aka Save :D

jafeijai: Puts ear next to you. What did you say the object was again? XD

rndmnwierd: Your guess is funny, imagining Mako & Eri studying a mic cracked me up :lol:

KrazyForKamei: Hmmm I heard that…. It’s a good visual though :P

Chapter 35


The four members of Morning Musume stood with two girls on either side facing each other. Nobody talked and tension reeked heavily in the air. The scene was like an old western film where cowboys were headed for a last showdown.

What were you doing?"

The silence was finally broken by Ai as she took in every bit of Reina’s appearance. Even though she spoke in an even voice, Risa recognized the undeniable fire burning in her eyes. She had been by Ai’s side for the past five years and she only saw that kind of reaction from the usually composed and tranquil Ai once – when Makoto was accused of attending Johnny’s drinking parties.  

Ai had at that time jumped to the defense of Makoto against the other members and stood firmly by her when noone except the gokkies believed in her innocence. Risa knew that when the flame appeared, it could only mean Ai had reached breaking point.

“I’m….”

“Reina was….”

“It’s not….”

Reina was blabbering incoherently and it was definitely not helping matters.  Sayumi whimpering in the background either from the cold or the way the situation was turning out added flames to the fire.

“Lost for words? Let me answer for you then. You were making out, with her!”

All eyes trained on Sayumi standing behind Reina when Ai practically yelled out that sentence through gritted teeth. Michishige’s whimpering escalated probably from the fear of seeing Ai act this way and the clothes she had earlier gathered dropped from her arms.



[The Ogawa Room]

“Did you hear that?”

“Hear what?”

Makoto was barely paying attention to Eri as she continued messing with the machine. They were almost done with the setting up and it was show time.

“Voices, like a quarrel or something.”

“The senpais might be having some wild party as usual. They always get rowdy after too many drinks.”

Shrugging her shoulders at Makoto’s reply, Eri focused her thoughts back on the appliance between them. Her eyes followed Makoto's actions as she put the finishing touches on their ‘project.’

“All ready to rumble.”

Taking the cue from the girl one year her senior, Eri flicked the switch on the side and the gadget roared to life making a low rumbling sound.

“Yes!”

Pumping her fists in the air in a little victory move, Makoto was joined by Eri laughing and clapping her hands in glee. Finally success after an hour of sweating over the instruction manual.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLABmakoerimachine.jpg)



[Back to Poolside]

“I wasn’t making out! God Ai-chan, stop accusing me like that. Can’t you hear me out?”

“What’s there to listen to? Your lies and excuses after being caught red-handed?”

“I said STOP accusing me! It’s not what you think!”

“I didn’t imagine this Reina, the fact is you’re stark naked out here with her!”

Once again Sayumi got pointed at and the poor girl’s shaking just got worst. Seeing how terrified she was, Risa took the risk of movement in this battle where bullets were flying blindly all over the place.

Reaching Sayu, she scooped up the garments on the ground and draped the jacket over her shoulders, squeezing them in a silent attempt to comfort her. Fed up of being at the receiving end, Reina stopped trying to prove her innocence.

That’s just so you. Always thinking you’re right and never letting others explain matters.”

“Turning the accuser now are you. Wow you’re good Reina.”

Sticking her thumb up at Reina triggered something that caused wonky to lash out. Now the accusations flew fast and furious. Worried that things will get out of hand, Risa stuck her neck out into the clash.

“Guys cool down, don’t say things you might regret later.”

“Stay out of this Gaki!”

“Don’t yell at her like that!”

“Fine I’ll stop. In fact we’re through. Finished, natta, finito.”

It wasn’t clear who initiated that final sentence but the message was clear and it got through, understood fully by everyone standing there.

“Fine!”

“Fine!”

With that, Ai spun around on her heels and stomped off towards the lobby. Her hands clenched into tight balls by her side and the nails dug into her flesh. However Ai didn’t care. She just wanted to get back to the refuge of her room before she broke down completely.

ah that's just how I pictured Sayu would react....she'd either whimper like a hurt kitten :cry:  or go babbling the same word over and over again XD  

That was an intense fight between the girls!  oh man I want Reina and Ai to work it out but but....Risa! :(

Chapter 35

already 35 ! wow...

Quote
The scene was like an old western film where cowboys were headed for a last showdown.

cowboys...nak...errrr ... never mind XD


Quote
Even though she spoke in an even voice, Risa recognized the undeniable fire burning in her eyes.
did she forget the fun fair's event ? XD she has reason to be angry ...i guess...seems like Ai does care about Reina heh...
Quote
Ai had at that time jumped to the defense of Makoto against the other members and stood firmly by her when noone except the gokkies believed in her innocence.
GOKKIEs solidarity yeeee~

Quote
“I’m….”

“Reina was….”

“It’s not….”

lol...do they feel guilty or embarrassed ? XD
" Tell us your embarrass story...in english.." XD XD XD

Quote
“Lost for words? Let me answer for you then. You were making out, with her!”
aaaaah Ai is really really really angry ><

Quote
All eyes trained on Sayumi standing behind Reina
Wait...does that mean Sayu is more..er...nak...err...never mind XD XD XD
/me hides

Quote
Michishige’s whimpering escalated probably from the fear of seeing Ai act this way and the clothes she had earlier gathered dropped from her arms.

:ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO:

Quote
“Did you hear that?”

Ai has a strong voice !

Quote
she continued messing with the machine. They were almost done with the setting up and it was show time.

almost almost almost...it's been some chapter now ...tell us !!...please:oops:

Quote
“Voices, like a quarrel or something.”

voices ? so not only Ai was yelling ?

Quote
“The senpais might be having some wild party as usual.They always get rowdy after too many drinks.”
what kind of wild party ????? XD XD XD i can see it from here....Yuko drunk and screaming...Nacchi pushes her in the pool...Mari laughing badly...Yuko yelling more ! "Now get off your stupid wig !!yeeee XD XD XD

/me should calm down...it's not a funny chapter here !! tsss

Quote
the finishing touches on their ‘project.’
a project ? :doh: hum...

Quote
“All ready to rumble.”
okay...definitely not a calculator heh ? otherwise i would have thrown it...

Quote
Eri flicked the switch on the side and the gadget roared to life making a low rumbling sound.

rumble....rumble...rumble...
I KNOW !
a massage machine !!!:w00t:

Quote
Pumping her fists in the air in a little victory move, Makoto was joined by Eri laughing and clapping her hands in glee.
that's what i'm going to do if i got the correct guess !

Quote
[Back to Poolside]

okayyyy /me calms down

Quote
I wasn’t making out! God Ai-chan, stop accusing me like that. Can’t you hear me out?”

errr...you are naked...with sayumi...in bushes...and you were teaching her some.... stuff.......kdgkqlhglkfdgldfhgih....we don't even know what exactly you were doing here so how can i defend you XD...but ! at least we all know you don't like teaching it to Sayu XD

Quote
“What’s there to listen to? Your lies and excuses after being caught red-handed?”

oyayayayaya....Ai is really really mad...

Quote
“I said STOP accusing me! It’s not what you think!”

ok tell us then !

Quote
“I didn’t imagine this Reina, the fact is you’re stark naked out here with her!”

it sounds like ...she insists on the fact that it is Sayu...soooo...maybe she wouldn't be that mad if it was with someone else ? XD

Quote
Once again Sayumi got pointed at and the poor girl’s shaking just got worst.
oh my i so picture that XD

Quote
Risa took the risk of movement in this battle where bullets were flying blindly all over the place.

i like this picture :yep: especially the  "blindly" part...Ai is sure accusing Reina for something she didn't do, and got blind by her anger...Reina is embarrassed and doesn't know how to answer so she just blindly throwing words out of her mouth...awww...(does it have any sense? XD)

Quote
Fed up of being at the receiving end, Reina stopped trying to prove her innocence.

did she really try to ?:doh:

Quote
That’s just so you. Always thinking you’re right and never letting others explain matters.”

he he he he...

Quote
“Turning the accuser now are you. Wow you’re good Reina.”


hey you girls stop , you aren't going anywhere with that :cry:

Quote
Risa stuck her neck out into the clash.

“Guys cool down, don’t say things you might regret later.”

mmmmh...it's quite nice of her...concidering Reina can be her rival for Ai's love...but...i guess she has only a friend reaction here...reasonable, reasonable.

Quote
“Stay out of this Gaki!”

WOYA !
she is part of the love triangle isn't she ?
oh wait...what are we talking about here XD
Is Risa also shoked ? or does she just trusts Reina ?
mmmmmmmh....

Quote
“Fine I’ll stop. In fact we’re through. Finished, natta, finito.”

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ! that's what we get when the situation is not clearly explained ! :evil:

Quote


“Fine!”

“Fine!”


wait wait girls !!!

Quote
With that, Ai spun around on her heels and stomped off towards the lobby. Her hands clenched into tight balls by her side and the nails dug into her flesh. However Ai didn’t care. She just wanted to get back to the refuge of her room before she broke down completely.

*outch*...enraged ? guilty ? mad ? sad ? broken heart? how is she feeling ?:o

that was really intense ! thks lil_hamz

You mean, no more threesome (for now)? :o

Phew, I thought I was gonna miss this chapter for sure, since I had been sick for a couple of days and couldn't get around to going on the forums. I made sure I checked this as soon as I got back on though :D

Ai-chan being angry? That itself is a scary thought :S... anyways, so we still don't know what the machine thingy is, hmm... eh, I just suddenly thought about Eri's side of things.. what if she finds out what Sayu and Reina did? Uh oh :doh:

What?! We’ve only got 20 minutes.”
XD That got me soooo good.

Sigh, I guess this means I officialy like fan fiction now, seeing how this is my third fanfiction ever, and its from Jphip!

I have to admit, at first it seemed a little amaturish, and since Im not a big fan of the first two couples, I didnt see myself getting into it.... that was until Gaki and Takakahshi joined... and I thought Reina being added wouldnt interest me--- but it toooottaly did! And the KamieShige, ha, that was even further from my interest (Im not the BIGGEST Shige fan, but then again, as of late, shes getting into my senses more) but now I see it as a good thing. KonMako has a good plot to it... (and like everyone else, I get that weird feeling that its a--well...).

This is definitly PTA-approved (as we would say in H-O).
Keep it up, this is my first real H!P/MM romantic fanfic (since enrik has a combination of every genre!) and its treating the head reallll good :D

This chapter is seen through Risa’s POV so its basically written through her thoughts. Also, special appearances by the other Momosu members.


Chapter 36


[Inside Risa’s Head]

I shuffle into the dance studio grudgingly with my bag hanging lopsided off my shoulder. It was bright and early the next morning with the sun barely climbing up into the crimson sky. My eyes were only half open, a result of lying awake the whole night wondering how the girls were and not daring to message or call them.

“Good morning!”

Eri greeted me in a cheery voice and slapped me on the back a little harder than usual. I wonder what she was so happy about. Did she communicate with her alien friends again last night?

“Morning.”

I mutter a half-hearted reply and went back to my zombie-like state. I’m sure I look like a total wreck and apparently Eri noticed it too.

“Did you get that?”

Eri’s question jolted me from drifting off to someplace comparable to Neverland and I look in her direction, trying to focus on her face, which appeared a little fuzzy.

“Wha…t?”

“Did you catch the number of that truck, the one that just hit you?”

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLABrisaanooyed.jpg)

I mumble another indecipherable sound before realizing she was taking a poke at me. Usually I might acquire a reaction close to annoyance if I was made fun of like this when I wasn’t in the mood to be made fun of. Did you get what I just thought? My brain isn’t functioning all that well in sleepy mode.

But staring at Eri’s face all joyful and smiley, I somehow couldn’t get mad at her. Who could go nuts at Kamei with her childish grin and kissable lips?

“Yeah I didn’t sleep that well last night.”

I hope this excuse was enough to get Eri off my case, she could get buggy if she wanted to. My rather weak reason appeared to be enough to satisfy her and she grabbed my head in a hold and rocked it from side to side.

“Ahhhh poor Gaki baby.”

“Er…you can let go of my head now.”

I struggle to free myself of Eri’s grip and shrank away inconspicuously. Now I’m fully awake, too freaked out from Kame’s weird actions. I slowly become aware of the studio being quieter than usual with only the sounds of Yoshizawa-san fiddling with the stereo and Makoto’s voice booming in the background as she told Asami some joke.

Glancing around, I saw Ai stretching in one corner, Reina warming up in the corner diagonal from her and Sayumi with her face practically buried in her bag as she acted like she was searching for something. Surely Eri couldn’t have been taken in by such lousy acting skills?

“Okay everyone in their places!”

I scramble into position with Eri hot on my heels as the music started. I look at the leader’s reflection in the floor to ceiling mirrors and saw her brows knotted in deep concentration. As madcap as Yoshizawa-san is, she was always responsible and serious when she needed to be.

My gaze landed on the two girls in question but the expressions they wore were normal. Did I dream up everything that happened last night? After all catching Reina and Sayumi in the ‘act’ among bushes wasn’t something you bang into everyday. Maybe I was just overly active in my dream world or something. That would explain why I was dead tired now.

After that, I run through the dance for Ambitious! Yashinteki De Ii Jan not paying much attention to anything until Mikitty’s voice made me jump. I turn my head and freeze at the sight before me. Fujimoto-san had her hands on her hips and she was glaring, yes glaring at Ai and Reina.

“Would you two cut it out!”

Her voice bellows and Sayumi and Koharu start whimpering. Yoshizawa-san shakes her head slightly as if expecting such a scene.

“What’s with messing up on purpose? Others have a life, we can’t spend the whole day just perfecting one dance.”

“She really wants to go meet Aya at the café. I overheard her on the phone.”

Makoto’s whispering wasn’t all that soft and I hear Konno shushed her up quickly. There was no sense in everyone getting involved in this.

“I know there’s something up between you two. Settle your boy fights before you come to practice.”

“Let’s get a drink.”

Yoshizawa-san places a hand on Miki’s arm and leads her away from the pair who was looking in different directions. Ai was staring at some non-existent object a few feet away while Reina kept her eyes narrowed on the wall behind Miki.

“Koharu-chan, come on. Everybody take five.”

I was glad Yoshizawa-san stopped Miki before things got out of hand. I was even more relieved that Koharu was out of the studio. It would be difficult trying to explain to a 14 year old the problems her seniors were facing.

“So what’s up? You should know better than to let some boy get between you”

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLRBconfront.jpg)

I wished Makoto didn’t start at a crucial time like this. Judging from the look on Reina’s face, I was pretty sure she was going to explode at any moment.

“It’s really not worth it. We have something much more significant than boys.”

One Makoto who didn’t know when to keep her mouth shut was bad enough but Eri too? And boy troubles, man they couldn’t be further from the truth. I squeezed my eyes shut and hoped for divined intervention but my prayers weren’t answered and what happened next could be the trailer for some girl fight flick.

“Do you think we have something much more significant than boys Eri?”

Uh oh, please don’t get Kame involved, I plead silently at Ai with my eyes, but she either didn’t catch my gaze or she was too angry to care.  

“Y..eah?”

Eri replied, unsure at where Ai was going. Except that I was certain, if Ai continued like this, everyone was going to get implicated.

“Do you have to do that? Must you destroy what Eri and Sayu have?”

“So you care about what they have? Then why jeopardize it with your little tryst with Shige?”

And all hell breaks loose, it really does…

Takahashi Ai vs. Tanaka Reina

I want to see them in the mounted position, just like in the UFC matches :drool:

Or in a bra and panties match WWE style. Of course a foreign object like a steel chair has to make an appearance so I'm thinking that it would be Mako-chan's mysterious device. XD

Gah!! I FINALLY caught up with your fic until now. *applause for you* :P
 
It sucked me in right away from the start, always left me wondering what would happen next and then BAM when you revealed that Reina was actually after Ai-chan.
 
I really like chapter 36 from Risa's POV, showing us how she perceives things.
 
XD Eri and her weirdness while Risa's abit dead is too funny.
 
The tenseness and anger between Reina and Ai-chan... it's so heavy. Why won't you listen to Reina's explanation Ai-chan?!?! But I'm really looking forward to how they're gona beef it out with eachother!
 
Excellent job, and I'm looking forward to more confrontations/making up!! :D

Chapter 37


There was this weird silence that befell upon the group in the studio. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, or someone’s heartbeat thumping away.

“Tryst…”

Eri pronounced the word ever so slowly the others couldn’t decide she was picturing in her mind what Reina and Sayumi did during the tryst or if she couldn’t believe it was actually true .

“Tryst.” Eri repeated again in a louder voice that screamed ‘I don’t know what the word means.’

With the emerging possibility that they might be able to cover this up with a good lie after all, Risa tried her gallant best.

“TRIES… Ai-chan meant tries.”

“Tries?”

Now Eri was really confused with the situation. Seeing that Risa wasn’t getting where she wanted to, the generally quiet Kon Kon tried to help.

“Risa meant Sayu and Reina tried out something without telling you. And they’re really sorry for it.”

It was a long shot but if Eri was clueless enough like she usually was, it might just work. More than a few people were holding their breathe and these included Risa, Makoto, Kon Kon and strangely the original perpetrator of this scenario - Ai.

“Oh! Is that all Sayu, its perfectly fine. I tried out that new chocolate fountain with Mako-chan last night too.”

Giving Sayumi a relaxed and kind smile, Eri didn’t know it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Sayumi had rather tiny hands for someone her height and now she brought them up to cover her face that had tears gushing down like a broken dam.

“I.....I’m sorry Eri. It wasn’t anything bad, Reina and I weren’t dressed but… but…. We didn’t do anything much.”

Not wanting to fib to Eri any longer and with the stress of the upcoming concerts, musical and volleyball events building up, Sayumi finally cracked under the pressure.

Not dressed? What not dressed?"

Eri’s eyes bulged so huge at those words that they looked double their original size and seemed like they might fall out any second.

It was times like this that required Kon Kon and her talented mind to think of something that might reverse the situation or at least try to salvage it but no matter how hard she willed it to focus on the greater good, the shy girl couldn’t stop her thoughts from returning to ten seconds earlier when Eri revealed what she did last night with Makoto.

How could Makoto leave her out of something she knew she loved - food? Did she secretly carry a torch for Eri? But it wasn’t hard to see why since Kamei was undeniably cute. Oh how she wished it wasn’t true.

“Argh Kamei-chan! It was supposed to be a secret.”

Makoto’s exasperated sigh brought Konno back to Earth and she realized Eri was still frozen in the same position she was minutes ago.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/erishocked.jpg)

Lies! All lies!

Screaming at the top of her lungs, Eri unfroze and covered her ears with her hands before shaking her head a few times. Her short hair flew all over her face as she repeated those words under her breathe.

“Kame….”

Risa whispered gently and reached out her hand to touch the agitated girl. But before she could make contact, Eri suddenly spun around and ran out of the studio not looking back even once.

“Eri!”

Sayumi’s crying escalated as she started running after Eri and in the fray pulled Risa along with her in the hope that somehow her slightly older senior would be able to save this horrid state of affairs.

“Oi come back, Fujimoto-san is gonna yell when she comes back!”

Makoto’s warnings fell on deaf ears for the three girls who had just left the studio couldn’t even hear her. Heaving a sigh, she turned back around from facing the door to see Reina biting her lower lip as she tried fighting back the tears threatening to fall from her eyes, Ai sitting on the ground in a dazed state and Konno staring at her with huge doleful eyes.
 
“Oh god, why must I be the one having to clean up this mess.”

-----


rndmnwierd: Makoto seems kinda insensitive with her words sometimes doesn't she :ONdepressed:

hanh: Aww Ai’s not really vindictive, she’s just angry. Did you realize what the project was? It was mentioned briefly :)

yuuyami: Still got ya hardhat on tight? I hope it wasn’t thrown off XD

jafeijai: I revealed the object so no hell breaks loose now eh :yay:

wordsworth: Sorry to burst ya bubble, but Mako’s device was much tamer than what you imagined XD

stefy: Eri the boke… haha she was a little boke-ish at the beginning wasn’t she :p

goosefish: When girls get mad, they get mad :lol: It’s kinda hard getting them to listen to logic when that happens XD

kazitakato: Woah 5 hrs, does it take that long to read this? Hmmm I don’t know about seeing other H!P units here since this fic is mostly focused on the 5th and 6th gens :p

KrazyForKamei: More Kamei in this chapter. Wow I’d like to see a Reina x Ai fight too. *ding!* :tfr9a7wg:

Sukoshi: Eri does have super kissable lips doesn’t she? So pouty and all :panda_kiss: I think you might see something similar to what you think might happen in the next chapter.
 
Owaranai_sLaVe: No prob sLaVe, I like the sound of hamz too :)

EH!? WHAT!?

The first thing I have to mention is the kissable lips thing. Oh god, Gaki-san, why!?!? :doh: It's the Sweat CM, isn't it T_T. If you follow H!M, it seems that there's rarely any TakaGaki while there's KameGaki every single episode =S.

Just when you thought the tension was gonna die down a bit, now it's right back up. I hope Eri can take it in a "good way" :kcrazy:
--------------------
I'm always this lucky, aren't I, previewing and I see a new chapter.

I KNEW IT! Something Konkon wants would HAVE to be food-related T_T. It was funny how she got jealous XD

I never knew Sayu was this dumb :doh: well... now to see what will happen next! DUN DUN DUN! :D

you know, Sayu revealed on her radio show that the person who'd look the scariest if they're angry is Eri because it's very rare to see Eri angry. And now look what you've done :P Make sure the next part will be :shocked: hehe

Eri wouldn't be Eri if she wasn't a little boke in the begining! Then now whats gonna happen? Sukoshi kinda makes a point there since nows a days theres more kamegaki on screen, why not? but then again that'll only complicate things even more for Ai... up to you friend (mind if i call you friend? or hamhamz? take a pick) lastly nice job!

Chapter 38

Approaching Konno slowly with cautious steps, Makoto thought of what to say. She knew Asami had a jealous streak and hearing from Eri that they had shared the previous night together over a brand-new chocolate fountain wasn’t going to help matters even if all that happened really was innocent.

“Asami-chan…”

Seeing Makoto coming closer and closer, Konno didn’t know if she could face her. As a result, she did the next best thing. She ran away. Whirling away quickly, Asami knelt down on the floor next to Ai and stroked her back soothingly.

“Are you alright Ai-chan?”

Averting her glazed eyes away from someplace she had been staring at earlier, Ai now focused on Kon Kon’s cubby cheeks instead. Seeing her friend’s concerned expression, Ai knew she could trust her.

“What have I done Kon Kon? What have I done?

Collapsing into Asami’s arms in a fit of sobs, Ai finally let out all the pent up frustration she had been holding in for days. She had been pretending everything was fine ever since the night she and Risa chanced upon the two rokkies in the bushes. But now she could no longer swallow back the tears that were drowning her inside.

The gentle gokkie was the only other person besides Risa that Ai could pour all her woes out to and this time she didn’t hold back. Asami didn’t mind that Ai’s tears were soaking her favorite pink shirt, she just hoped holding Ai tight and rocking her gently was enough to make the miserable girl feel better.

Seeing Konno’s actions, Makoto knew only too well that her soul mate was avoiding her. It was just her character to avoid a confrontation. Makoto gave up trying for now and decided to look Konno up again later that night. She just needed to get her alone for a while. Five minutes was all Makoto needed to prove her innocence.

“Yo, you’re still alive right?”

Strolling over to Reina who had since planted herself in a far corner of the room, Makoto plopped down heavily in front of the yankee.

“Of course I am. Why shouldn’t I be?”

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLABreinasad.jpg)

Reina’s reply was indignant but she really was barely alive at all. Her heart was almost dead, bleeding from the fact that her actions had caused such a serious rift between the two generations.

“You know it isn’t entirely your fault right?”

Makoto tried again. After hanging out with Reina much more after their Iroppoi Jirettai single, she knew the girl was hard on herself, even if she never admitted to it.

“Yeah it isn’t. Global warning isn’t my fault. But just about everything else is.”

“Come on Reina. This is blown way out of proportion. I bet things were really simple. Why don’t you just clarify stuff?”

Reina never liked to explain herself. It wasn’t her style she said. But everyone knew that most times things would be a lot easier if she just did. It was hard guessing her thoughts when she constantly kept to herself.

“You don’t understand.”

“Try me.”

Settling into a more comfortable position on the hard floor, Makoto peered intently into Reina’s eyes. Ogawa was here now, and she was ready as she ever will be as the listening ear her junior so desperately needed.



[In a random hallway]


“I didn’t even know this place existed.”

Risa was truly astonished as she looked around the fairly dusty corridor. Sayumi had led her all the way here after refusing to let go of her arm. Practically forcing her to come along as they searched for Eri after she took off.

“We stumbled upon this place when we were exploring the building once.”

Looking at Sayumi with a raised eyebrow, Risa at last had the answer to the question she had wondered about for so long. What the girls did every time they ran off together. And now she knew. Exploring buildings… and each other.

“You two are better at buildings than me eh.”

Risa expressed amusement at her joke referencing back to the time they made an appearance on Music Fighter for Osaka Koi No Uta. Not hearing laughing from Sayumi, she gave a cough instead to hide her embarrassment.

“Where’s Eri anyway?”

Being second best at changing subjects and creating atmosphere after Yaguchi, Risa put her carefully honed skills to use now and alerted herself back to the missing turtle.

“In there.”

Following Sayumi’s lifted finger, Risa’s eyes followed the direction it was pointed at and let her eyes fall on top of the object standing a few feet away. Her expression that ensued was something MasterCard couldn’t buy.

“You’re kidding…. She’s in the broom closet?"

At the moment, my fingers are like, numb (Nail polish spilt on my hands X_______X) so I can't feel the sense of touching with my fingers. Hell, I don't think I could finger print anything for a while... X____X;

Anywho... >>;

I can already tell that confrontations are inevitable, but you'd have to write more so I can eliminate scenarios from my head :]...

I don't know what to stick to anymore, KameGaki or TakaGaki @_@;;;.

Nice chapter as always, I love how there's always something I can look forward to in the next chapter, great job on that & looking really really forward to next chapter :tfr9a7wg:

ahhh the drama continues! Eri has the right idea though. She may be strange...a lil strange...but shes a smartie. Hiding in a closet is the best way to escape things including confrontation and fights :P.

Reina's line about everything being her fault was hilarious and sad at the same time. I didnt know that was possible till now XD

“Did you get that?”
Eri’s question jolted me from drifting off to someplace comparable to Neverland and I look in her direction, trying to focus on her face, which appeared a little fuzzy.
“Wha…t?”
“Did you catch the number of that truck, the one that just hit you?”

i laught so hard... the guy next to me looked at me with those kind of faces...like "what the hell?!"

“So you care about what they have? Then why jeopardize it with your little tryst with Shige?”

And all hell breaks loose, it really does…


haha...a cliffhanger that i didn't have to wait nyaaa~
tryst ?
i had no idea what tryst is...and when i read the next chapter , it looked to have an important place so i googled it (does to google exist ? XD)

Quote from: lil_hamz;230242
Chapter 37
“Tryst…”

Eri pronounced the word ever so slowly the others couldn’t decide she was picturing in her mind what Reina and Sayumi did during the tryst or if she couldn’t believe it was actually true .

“Tryst.” Eri repeated again in a louder voice that screamed ‘I don’t know what the word means.’

neither do i...
so... i got : tryst (plural trysts) A prearranged meeting or assignation, now especially between lovers to meet at a specific place and time.
and then i went how come i don't know that ! arg...so it get more sense in the fic...Ai sure know how to choose her words...
Quote

With the emerging possibility that they might be able to cover this up with a good lie after all, Risa tried her gallant best.
good point !

“TRIES… Ai-chan meant tries.”

:D
only works for english huh ? XD

“Risa meant Sayu and Reina tried out something without telling you. And they’re really sorry for it.”

aaaa....it doesn't sound like a lie here >< uho...Eri might understand a little more ...outch outch outch...

It was a long shot but if Eri was clueless enough like she usually was, it might just work.

It was times like this that required Kon Kon and her talented mind to think of something that might reverse the situation [..] the shy girl couldn’t stop her thoughts from returning to ten seconds earlier when Eri revealed what she did last night with Makoto.
i was staring to wonder how Asami reacted from what she heard...

How could Makoto leave her out of something she knew she loved - food?

Did she secretly carry a torch for Eri? But it wasn’t hard to see why since Kamei was undeniably cute. Oh how she wished it wasn’t true.

Chapter 39


“I don’t believe you two. It’s a broom closet. Kame’s breathing in all those filth as we speak!”

Risa was surprised at herself for getting so agitated. She didn’t know the reason for that either but for some reason, all her sanitary knowledge learnt from school came rushing back into her memory all at once.

Wanting to get Eri out of the dingy closet ASAP Risa reached her hand out to pull at the slightly rusted handle of the gray metallic structure only to have Sayumi seize it back hurriedly.

“Don’t! You gotta ask for permission first.”
.
“Of course, I was going to do that. Could I please open the door Kame?”

Waiting for slightly under a minute and still not hearing a response, Risa turned to Sayumi with a blank stare. Shaking her head with a sigh, Sayumi spoke like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

“You have to ask the closet for permission silly.”

“Okay you’re totally losing it.”
.
Eri said so. We have to ask the closet before we open the door.”

Sayumi protested with a slight pout and refused to let Risa anywhere near the closet until she complied. Giving the naive girl a steely glare, Risa narrowed her eyes and bit her lip before she started yelling at the usa-chan girl.

Thinking over how she should ‘ask a non-living thing’ for consent, she decided to go with knocking. The rokkies were nuts anyway, it wouldn’t matter if they saw her doing it. What Risa didn’t count on was unexpected visitors passing through.

“Tap tap.”

“Tap tap.”

“Could I please open your door Mr Closet?”

Risa counted the knocks silently in her mind and decided four times was enough. Just as she was going to pull on the handle again, someone, or rather a few people called out her name.

“Niigaki-san?”

Gulping, Risa turned around to face the owner of the voice.  If she was right at recognizing the owner, and she usually was, it would mean the time to jump into a six feet deep hole had arrived.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLABrisacute.jpg)

“Mai mai! And Kanna-chan too.”

The smile on Risa’s face was frozen in place as she watched the curious looks the two C-ute members were giving her. From the corner of her eye, she could make out the rest of the group casting her weird looks as well.

“So! What are you doing here?”

“We’re going out for a location shoot senpai.”

Mai mai explained with a slight nod of her head while Kanna stood beside her quietly. Since Arihara Kanna was the newest member of C-ute and was still rather unsure of what she should and shouldn’t do, she usually remained silent while the other members spoke.

“Right….right.”

Risa nodded enthusiastically with the hope that it would hide her embarrassment. For once she couldn’t think of what to do to get herself out of this awkward situation. Someone was going to pay dearly for all the humiliation she suffered tonight.

“Mai mai, Kanna-chan we should get going. The bus wouldn’t wait.”

Megumi’s voice broke the silence and Risa thanked her with all her heart for being so mature and smart. It was a wonder how she and Sayumi got along. It was definitely an unusual relationship.

As soon as Risa and Sayumi were left alone again after the group of eight girls trooped a safe distance away from the corridor, Risa asked the younger girl through gritted teeth.

“Didn’t you say this place was deserted?”

“It is. But the bus bay is just nearby…”

Slapping her forehead with one hand, Risa blinked a couple of times to regain her composure. She remindered herself silently over and over that Sayumi had a really nice head of black hair. Too beautiful and luscious to ruin in a crazed moment of anger before she managed to keep her hands steady by her side.

Needing to channel her energies into forgetting how disgraced she was minutes ago and how she would probably become the talk of the under fifteen girls for at least a month, Risa decided she was going in. Into the closet that is.

“Kame, ready or not I’m coming in!”

Even if the chapter was short, it was very good. Asking a closet for permission? I could picture that happening so well, and poor Risa, getting caught. :ROFL  Love it.

Haha, thats true! I guess that can also be said for any story really (well any good story that is). Please, just sLaVe :)


XD I would have dug that 6feet deep hole myself to hide! how embarassing, asking a closet to open...
Or... I would have pretended Sayu just broke all the bones in my hands or something so i couldnt open the door...

Yaaay! Another update! Eri really is a strange one XD. I look forward to the Kamemame chapter. I've never considered the couple but this story has gotten me excited about it ^_^

Maybe I should ask my closet for permission to open tomorrow morning before school...:P

“I don’t believe you two. It’s a broom closet. Kame’s breathing in all those filth as we speak!”

Risa was surprised at herself for getting so agitated. She didn’t know the reason for that either but for some reason, all her sanitary knowledge learnt from school came rushing back into her memory all at once.


Ooo thank you so much for updating even though you are so busy!  I laughed so much through this chapter!  :ONwahaha: I loved this chapter since the very first line XD  Risa's thoughts were just too funny XD and Eri's strangeness is just too cute ! :ONshy2:

I can't wait to see what happens next!  I kind of want KameGaki but at the same time I'm so conflicted cause I love Kameshige!:ONfrustrated:  and and...I want Eri to stay faithful but lol revenge can be very sweet :ONhehehe:

anyways good luck with your exams!  We'll just sit here and wait "patiently" :ONsad: for your next chapter

Dear Hammy San,

I spent the afternoon re-reading the lines are blurred today and then I was hit by an idea after reading chapter 27.  Here's a little something I made to show you how much I love your story and to wish you luck on your studies!

From Sukoshi :ONomamori:

Quote from: lil_hamz;194692
Chapter 27

After taking a refreshing shower and with her hair almost completely dry, Risa lay lazily on her bed. Stroking the Polaroid photo with her forefinger lovingly, she couldn’t help but grin upon seeing the faces of her friends in the picture.

The gokkies were standing at the back with Makoto and Asami in the center. Ai was beside Asami while Risa was beside Makoto. Of course they all had their arms around each other’s shoulders.

The three younger girls were squatted in front of the group and Sayumi had her arms tightly wrapped around Eri’s waist while Reina was trying her hardest to squeeze in between them.

However the most important point of the photo was the bright beaming smile each girl wore on her face.

Picking up a yellow glitter pen sticking in the pen holder of her desk, Risa scribbled across the photo in her nicest handwriting what they had yelled out earlier.

“The lines are blurred!”

^AH~!  So that's what was wrong with Ai!  I've been trying to figure it out all this time!  Cause after I finally settled on a picture of Ai that I liked...I placed her in with the rest of the folks but she always seemed to stand out...I always thought it was a problem with the Hues...so I was correcting the hue saturation for a long time!  Thanks for pointing it out XD  It makes so much sense now XD

ah the dot...I forgot to remove that...I think at one point I was trying to shift the picture a little bit over (spaces didn't seem to work) so it wasn't so close to the side but then I decided it was silly so I didn't and must have left a dot there

Chapter 40


[Inside Steel Closet Number 9]

The inside of the closet was dark. So dark that Risa couldn’t see her fingers in front of her face if she tried. In her rather cramped up position, she struggled to make herself as comfortable as she could. Who knew how long it would take to get through to Eri the Erien.

“So. About what happened earlier….”

“Gaki-san please tell me the truth.”

Eri interrupted her senpai with a tone that sounded serious. Risa quickly nodded hard, she was no fibber and she deeply believed in telling the truth whenever she could. It didn’t even occur to her that Eri wouldn’t be able to see any action she made in the dim closet.

Seconds ticked pass before Eri said anything again. And when she did, Risa got quite the shock of her life. She couldn’t remember being this stunned since her name was announced as one of the chosen members for the 5th generation in 2001.

Instead of asking a question starting with ‘how did it….’ or ‘why…..’ like Risa was expecting , Eri’s question went something along the lines of….

Am I a good kisser? Am I huh Gaki-san?”

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/21b.jpg)

The question totally threw Risa off and what she had rehearsed in her head earlier seemed useless now. Eri’s eyes were imploding and it was a good thing the older girl wasn’t able to see them at this moment.

“Gah?! Er…. Kame…I…. er…..”

Risa’s stammering wasn’t giving Eri the answer she so desperately needed to know and her newfound confidence after gaining popularity as a Morning Musume member was fading fast with the realization that her best friend and lover had seek solace in the arms or rather the panties of another 6 gen-ner.    

“So I am bad.”

NO!

Eri jumped a little at Risa’s agitated response causing the small closet they were in to shake with them. The steel doors started rattling and it took some time for them to fall silent again.

“Sorry about that outburst.”

Risa grinned sheepishly and played with her bangs. It was another action that Eri couldn’t see in the darkness.

“What I really meant was… I don’t know Kame. I mean how would I right?”

“Oh….”

Eri’s sentence trailed off and only the soft breathing of the two girls could be heard. It was getting slightly stuffy and Risa thought they had better get out before she lost the use of her toes permanently.

“You know we should be leaving. As much as I know you like it in here, I’m seriously finding it hard to breath.”

“We’re friends right?”

Eri’s second question of the night left Risa speechless once more. This didn’t sound good. Usually what followed after a query like this would be “So tell me if I’m fat.” But obviously this wasn’t going to be the issue this time.

“Definitely. Why?”

“Because since we’re friends, you’re gonna help me.”



[Sayumi’s Room]

Chewing the pinkish nails on her delicate hands, Sayumi sat in front of her dresser and watched the hand of her pink furry clock tick by. It had been officially 18 minutes and 25 seconds and still no word from Risa. The waiting was killing her. She needed to know what the outcome was and if Eri was ready to forgive her.  

Forgetting Risa’s instructions to wait patiently for her call, Sayumi picked up her own cell and dialed Risa’s number. The ringing went on for more than seven times before she reluctantly hanged up. Since no one was answering, it had to mean they weren’t done talking yet. In other words, Eri wasn’t going to forgive her so soon.

Letting out a depressed but cute sigh, Sayumi decided on taking a hot shower to wash away her troubles. Hopefully at the start of the next day, Eri would be standing at her door greeting her with a bright smile like she always was.

wordsworth: Thanks pal, and I just caught up with Too Young. I was totally blown away :panda_omg2:

00HB: Risa always has a classic face for every occasion doesn’t she :lol:

Saikami: Yippee you’re here :yay:

stefy: Aww thanks so much. I have Ai x Reina in my head. It will be soon XD

glcorps2002: Welcome new reader. Hope you enjoyed ya stay :)

Drako60: My memory is failing me but welcome if you’re new. You like 5th gen? I love 5th gen :panda_love:

sLaVe: That’s a good idea. Too bad Risa didn’t think of it then XD

KrazyForKamei: Me either but all that rollarcoaster and Hakkan must be getting to me. I love these 2 together now :ONluvluv1:

Sukoshi: Did I tell you how much I love ya creation? I must have but I gotta tell you again. I LOVE IT!! And you gave me an idea for something which I will reveal below :)

rndmnwierd: Lolz. Yeah and probably ‘We shouldn’t hang around her and Kamei senpai too much. Look what happened.’ XD

Kazitakato: Congrates! We’re free now. I had Miracle girl on my playlist the whole time. Maybe she’ll work some miracles for me too :lol:

TydusArandor: It’s probably the only thing she cleans since her room and luggage are in a horrible state XD

jafeijai: Howdy fellow Risa lover. Where have you been? Did you know there’s already a line to marry Gaki-san at her thread? :panda_omg2:

Well I'm back and let's just say I'm reaaaaaaaaally happy with all the new news I've read so far. Sayu PB, Reina Alohello, Risa 10th Anniversary single and this is Eri's birthday month! I have so much catching up to do with all the great fics but I'm definitely gonna read them all :)

Sukoshi's awesome contribution made me think it would be great having pics for every chapter. So I've added pics that I could up till Chapter 10. Anyone who wants to add pics just post them up with the desired chapter you want it in. There can be more than 1 for every chapter it's all up to you readers. And if ferrar1 and Sukoshi are agreeable I'll add the Eri in a tiny space and group photo pic to the respective chapters :tfr9a7wg:

Well, leave it up to Eri to ask weird questions like that. She should just make herself the head of the weirdness department (not that she isn't already <_<).

If it's not another ferris wheel ride, I don't know what I'm going to do :ON@_@:  If Sayu randomly decides to go check on them or something, then it'll get really messed up :doh:

Chapter 41


Makoto raced up the stairs hoping two steps at a time. She hoped she would be in time to reach Konno before she returned to her room. After spending what felt like hours coaxing Ai and Reina to stop crying and sulking respectively, the food friends walked them back to their rooms as a safety measure.

From the exit of the stairwell, Makoto spied Konno twisting the knob of her room door. Making a last quick dash, she managed to arrive before the door fully closed.

“Wait! We need to jog.”

With that, Makoto dragged Konno out by her wrist and toward the lift leaving the ajar door to swing shut on its on.



[A Couple of Blocks Away from H.P Apartments]


“Did we really have to come so far?  Now we’ll have some walking to do to get back.”

Asami protested quietly in her little voice. Even when she was angry she couldn’t lash out like some of the other members or even start throwing random things. Yes Takahashi tended to do that but she has toned it down of late.

“I can explain. It’s all a big mistake I tell you.”

“Really.”

Was all Asami said. She just stopped talking whenever she felt anger or sadness. It was all a gentle girl like her could do.

“I bought the fountain for you. But I couldn’t get it to work. And Kame-chan happened to come borrow my dryer so I got her to help out. It’s as simple as that!”

Makoto rambled on without even pausing to breath in her anxiety to prove her innocence. She would probably die if Konno fell out with her over such a misunderstanding.  

“You aren’t lying to me?”

It was a question but somehow it sounded more like a plea. Asami would rather be lied to by Makoto than have to face the awful truth. Of course she would never say it out for Makoto to know.

“I can prove it.”

Pulling Asami forcefully towards one of the giant trees that were lining the dimly lit street, Makoto pressed her against it and started to kiss her roughly.

“Mako…. We could get Friday’ed.”

“Like I care. We’re graduating tomorrow.”

Referring to the last concert of Asami’s career as a Musume, Makoto lost herself deeper into the kiss. Kissing Asami always felt sweeter than honey but this time it was slightly different. Maybe it was the added sorrow of being apart after tomorrow night or perhaps it was the taste of her own tears. Whichever it was, Makoto just couldn’t let her go. Not now, not ever.

“I am you aren’t. You still have the musical.”

“Same thing.”

Makoto wasn’t someone to shy away from showing her feelings and recently she got even more daring. She didn’t know if it had anything to do with KonKon’s impending graduation or her own but she just didn’t feel like holding back any longer.

Pushing Makoto away slowly thus breaking the kiss, Asami looked into her lover’s eyes for the first time that night.

“You’re crying.”

“Yes I am. I’m crying because I know we’re going to be apart. I’m crying because the gokkies will be no more and I’m crying because I hurt you without even knowing.”

Gazing at the usually cheerful and genki Makoto’s eyes brimming with tears, Asami finally realized how hard she was taking it.

“I’m sorry…. I didn’t know.”

“It doesn’t matter. All you need to know is I could never feel for Eri like I do for you.”

Nodding and feeling tears rush into her own eyes, Asami initiated for the kiss to continue.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/TLABMakonokiss.jpg)

“Whatever happens in the future, I’m glad we were once in love.”



[Back in Closet #9]


“As long as it’s not hurting anyone I guess I could help.”

Risa agreed reluctantly. She would try anything to get Kame out of the closet and she was pretty sure the added clause would be enough.

“We won’t be hurting anyone that’s for sure. All you have to do is…. rate me on a scale of 1 to 10.”

Groping around in the dark with lightening speed, it was apparent Eri knew her closet. Within seconds, she was up leaning against Risa. And before she could register what was going on, Risa felt the lips she had noticed for so long on her own.

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o211/berryz_beanz/56kkiesKameRisa.jpg)

“God they taste even better than they look.”

Saikami: I liked that part too. I can just imagine Eri asking it with a straight face :lol:

rndmnwierd: Tee hee you're funny and cute :)

ARGH! And I just got over their graduations a little while ago... Makoto, where are youuuu :ONgyaaah:

But honestly, that was a nicely written chapter. So romantic but sad :(

Just wondering, how big are Eri's closets approximately? Or at least, closet #9.. I wouldn't be surprised if all them were like customized and had special gadgets <_<. It seems like they have a lot of room to move around in :MKevil: (<- just noticed these new ones XD)

I can barely keep track of all the relationships now @_@

Chapter 42


[Cafeteria]

She had been glancing at the digital clock hanging on the wall at the far end of the noisy cafeteria for the past 30 minutes. And now Risa wanted to scream. The usually filled gorokkies table was deafeningly quiet. And it was understandable with just her sitting there.

It was two days after KonKon's graduation from Hello! Project with the final Wonderful Hearts Concert that night. Now without her and Makoto who had chosen to move into Asami's newly rented apartment, the number of the younger generations had officially dwindled to five. Not inclusive of Koharu. Sometimes Risa felt bad for not including miracle girl in their group activities but the girl stuck out sorely and seemed more comfortable with Berryz or C-ute anyway.

Pushing herself off the chair with both hands and picking up her tray of half eaten food, Risa had just about given up on waiting for anyone else to appear for breakfast when she caught sight of a pair of familiar figures strolling in.

"Morning Gaki-san!"

Nodding to acknowledge the greeting, Risa quickly observed the pair in front of her. Practically inseparable with their arms tightly wound around each other, they would probably be mistaken for a single person from some distance away.

(http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/1584/ltab42awq5.jpg)

"You look happy."

Sayumi blushed hard when she realized the person her senior was referring to was her. Reluctantly unlatching herself from Eri's side, the girl turned slightly to face Risa before speaking earnestly.

"I wanna thank you Gaki-san. I don't know what you did but Eririn forgave me that night. Now we're as loving as before."

The glee on Sayumi's face made Risa's voice catch in her throat. Coughing a few times, she thought of something to do.

"If only she knew."

Eager to ease the guilty look that she might have let escape, Risa reached for the glass of orange juice on her tray to appear occupied. But in her hastiness, she accidentally spilled some of the freshly squeezed drink onto the table.

"I'll get some paper towels."

Offered Sayumi and as soon as she was out of earshot, Eri pulled up closer to Risa. Now their faces were only inches apart. Kinda of like how it was two nights ago.

"You don't have to feel so guilty. It's not like we did anything wrong."

"We didn't do anything wrong?!"

But Risa was too mentally exhausted to go through this with Eri again. It was proven futile that night and she doubted it would make any difference today. The Erien had her own way of thinking and clearly she thought their little "experiment" was perfectly logical.

"Let's just make sure the.... ahem... incident stays between the two of us?"

"It's between you, me and Mr Cupboard."

Eri had a straight face and her tone sounded sincere. So much so that Risa was positive the younger girl meant the cabinet/wardrobe/cupboard/whatever as a thinking, living thing.

"........." :MKerr:

"Okay, between the three of us."

(http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/ff9d6cffd9.jpg)



[Member's Lounge]


"Did you see the bulletin?"

Koharu's excited voice snapped Risa from her thoughts and pulled her back to reality. Even though she was miles away thinking of what she could do to reconcile Ai and Reina, she felt obliged to answer the youngest member and always did no matter how busy she was. This time was no exception.  

“What bulletin?”

“You know the one about us getting two weeks off?”

Gesturing down the corridor to where the member’s notice board was situated, Koharu jumped around elatedly like a kid with a new toy.

“Two weeks off eh.”

Mumbling to herself, Risa thanked Koharu for that useful bit of information before running off to find Ai and Reina. This could be exactly what she needed.



[Hello! Morning Bus]


The girls had just finished filming another couple of Hakkan CM at various locations around Tokyo. Now as the bus bounded back to the studio, Risa told Eri about her little plan.

“Really? What were their reactions?”

“Spend the two weeks in Yokohama with you?” and ”Yokohama!”

“Let me guess, Reina was the second one.”

Eri said with a small smile. She knew most of her fellow 6th gen reactions like the back of her hand.

“Yup. I’m still surprised I managed to pull it through. I just hope they won’t find out I invited both of them.”

“No problem. I’ll help.”

Puffing up her chest, Eri patted her hand on it and her pose resembled that of a departmental store mannequin.

Laughing and pointing at Kame, Risa’s usual infections laugh sounded throughout the bus with repeated “what?!” protests from Eri.



[Train Station]


“The next train will be arriving in ten minutes.”

Tapping her feet at regular beats, Risa waited impatiently for the due train to arrive. Takahashi was already at her house and now all she had to do was ensure Tanaka arrived too.

In no time, the train from Tokyo pulled into the station and stopped with a loud hissing noise. Scanning the crowd that rushed out onto the platform, Risa caught side of a girl buried in a thick purple jacket with a hat pulled low over her face.

Even from a distance away Risa could tell she was Reina with the familiar knee high boots and huge sunglasses.

“Yo!”

“How did you know it was Reina?”

A surprised Reina asked when Risa tapped her on the shoulder and led her towards the exit by holding her hand.

“I have a good memory and I saw you in this jacket before.”

“You did?”

Pulling the jacket tighter around herself, Reina searched her memory bank for an occasion that she had worn this. But it was impossible since she almost never wore anything twice.

(http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/75077768ee.jpg)

“I was kidding. You mentioned buying a new purple jacket so I figured you’ll be wearing it.”

“What’s that?”

Pointing to the carrier in Risa’s other hand, Reina jumped topics in a flash.

“Oh just groceries. Come on I’ll show you the way to my house.”

 

[#XX Yokohama Lane]


“Woah this is your house? Reina’s impressed.”

Gawking at the rather massive structure that loomed at them even from the gate, Reina let Risa steer her towards the entrance.

“You have a pool! Reina wants to swim!” :MKswim:

“Gaki-san you’re back?”

A head poked out from behind the oak doors and the expression revealed was shock then anger.

“You lied to me Risa.”

Chapter 43

Dinner was that night could be summarized in one word. Dreadful. The girls were seated at the round six-seater table eating the curry rice that was just taken out of the microwave. All the groceries bought by Risa during the day sat in the refrigerator untouched. Obviously when the two found out they were tricked into come here, no one had the mood to cook.

(http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/9189/aieatmd4.jpg)

"I guess we're all sleeping in separate rooms tonight then?"

Pausing to let out a little sigh, Risa continued while glancing at the other girls.

"I'll take my parent's room then. Ai-chan can sleep in mine and Reina if you don't mind you can have my sister's."

Silent nods were the only reply she received.

(http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/432/gakisad2ag2.jpg)

"What did I get myself into? Two weeks of mental torture with people who're not gonna talk to me?!"

Risa kept the screaming inside her head. The last thing she needed was to get her friends even more pissed off. It looks like it’s her parent's king-sized bed all to herself tonight then.



[Some Hours Later]

Ai didn't know how long she had been lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling. She never did this unless it was in Risa's room. In fact she never had the habit of doing this until the first time she stayed over. Risa had her ceiling specially decorated with glow-in-the-dark stars just to cheer her up. She still remembered the huge fight she had with her mom that triggered this masterpiece.  

She knew this time was no different, Risa was trying her best to reconcile her relationship with Reina and she deeply appreciated it even though she could not tell her something she had been thinking for awhile. How could she tell someone trying so hard that she had decided to end it? To break off the relatively new relationship they had with Reina. Was it right for her to decide it on her own? But things have come to such a situation that it seemed the most feasible approach.

Pulling a nearby pillow over her head, Ai screamed softly into it. She was so confused right now with her heart and mind telling her different things.

(http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/4089/aisadyj0.jpg)

*Knock knock.*

"Come in."

Not thinking that the visitor could possibly be Reina, Ai continued lying on the bed not moving as she waited for Risa to enter. Footsteps made their way over to the bedside and a voice spoke.

"Would Ai-chan go out with Reina?"

Sitting up with a start, Ai looked up at the person standing in front of her. Reina was fully dressed right down to the scarf around her neck.

(http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/7169/reiscarfvs6.jpg)

Seeing the pleading eyes that the younger girl had, Ai decided she would. Maybe she could end it tonight.



[Inside A Cab]

"This is a rather strange place to talk isn't it?"

Looking at the driver from the corner of her eyes, Ai was wary of their speech. She couldn't risk their identities as idols being exposed or worse what they talked about making its way to the tabloids the very next day.

"We should be fine. It's not Tokyo."

Reassuring Ai, Reina pulled down lower the hat she had suggested Ai wear. With the thick scarf Reina had around her own neck, the two of them were difficult to recognize as members of Morning Musume unless someone looked at them very closely

"Ok then. What is this about?"

Finally letting her defenses down, Ai waited for Reina to speak.

"Reina wanted to clear things up. Gaki-san is being stressed out by this and dragging it longer wouldn't do any of us any good."

"I feel the same way. That's why I agreed to come out with you."

"Reina knows it's her fault and I guess... she's sorry."

Slightly taken aback at the apology, Ai turned towards Reina but she failed to see the girl's face. The young yankee was looking out the window presumably staring at the passing night view.

"Reina's sorry for making everyone sad. She didn't mean for things to turn out like this."

"I...."

Even though they had known each other for about 3 years since the first time they met, Ai still couldn't believe Reina was apologizing. It had to be a first. She never apologized to anyone unless it was the dance instructor. Now she had second thoughts about breaking up. But it still seemed the best way out for everyone.

Biting her lower lip, Ai toughened her heart and braced herself for Reina's reaction.

"We should break up."

"WHAT?"

Jerking her lowered head up to look Ai in the eyes, Reina searched her face for the meaning behind those words.

"I said we should break up. We should end this."

"End this?"

The tears brimming in her eyes suddenly fell in huge drops. Ai-chan was breaking up with her?

"I know it isn't right to tell you this after you just apologized but I have been thinking a lot. Maybe.... maybe we just aren't right for each other."

The image of Ai sitting in front of her started to get blurry with all her tears. Reina didn’t remember crying so hard since she was a couple of years old. And that was a long time ago. Now her heart felt like it was being shredded into a million little pieces. This was the first time she had tried giving her heart to someone she deemed special enough and this was the ending she received?

Watching the never-ending tears falling from Reina's eyes, Ai felt her own heart breaking. Why was she so cold-hearted? Why did she say such hurtful words to a young girl? But she had to maintain her stance. Like what Reina said earlier their relationship was doing nobody any good.  

Then the sound of their hearts shattering was magnified many times louder. In Reina’s mind she thought it was probably due to all the hurt she was feeling at the moment but why did those come accompanied with the sounds of breaking of glass and crushing mental? And why couldn't she see anything all of a sudden? Had she fallen asleep? Except that she didn't remember taking a nap.

And why was Ai calling her name in such a panic-stricken voice? As Ai’s voice became softer and sounded further away, Reina’s whole body just felt so tired....

[Reina’s Room]

Later that night, all was quiet and most of the building dark when Reina was awaken from her sleep by what she thought was a faint knocking on her door.

“I must be imagining things.”

Reina mumbled after reading the time from the luminous hands of her clock. 3 AM.


Just thought this picture might go well with the chapter~

Chapter 44


“Help me Gaki-san!”

Reina’s frantic calls for help rang in Risa’s ears as she struggled with her junior’s weight. She could feel the muscles in her own arms aching as she tried pulling the younger girl up.

“Hold on!”

Huffing and wheezing with sweat drops glistening on her forehead, the girls were perched precariously along the edge of a high peak.

“Whatever you do, don’t let go! I don’t wanna face Ai-chan’s wrath.”

Her voice sounded light but Risa was feeling anything but. She knew she was losing Reina. Both their arms were getting tired and slowly but surely Reina’s fingers were slipping out of her grasp.

Catching Reina’s glance in a sudden moment, Risa recognized the look of despair behind those eyes.

(http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/8453/reinazy1.jpg)

“I know what you’re thinking, but it’s not gonna happen. I won’t let it.”

Gritting her teeth, Risa took a chance and released her hold for a fraction of a second to grab at Reina’s upper body. It worked, for now she had Reina tightly in her grip but yet she could feel herself being pulled down along with her.

“Let go Risa, save yourself.”

By now tears were running down Reina’s face like a broken dam. The mixture of fear and resignation was an expression on her face that was enough to be etched into Risa’s memory forever.

“I never told you but I think Risa’s a beautiful name. Just like you. Take care of Ai-chan for me. I love you both.”

With that, Reina flashed a momentary faint smile and pulled away at Risa’s fingers that were around her….

“No. Tanakachi noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!"

Sitting up with a jerk, Risa found herself in bed with the silk sheets all tangled up around her. Distracted by the curtains flipping slightly at the balcony entrance, Risa looked over as she wiped away the perspiration gathered on her brow with the back of her hand.

Illuminated by just a single street lamp positioned directly outside her balcony, strange shadows loomed all about the bedroom, appearing to be involved in some dreadful dance.

“It must be the warm night air.”

Mumbling softly, Risa reassured herself that Yokohama’s muggy nighttime weather was the cause of the scary nightmare. Though she still had a rather unsettling sensation inside.

(http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/3487/risaby9.jpg)

Then the abrupt ringing of a telephone gave Risa a huge shock and sent her burrowing under the sheets with the speed of light. Only after recognizing the unfamiliar ring tone as one that Eri had sent her did she crawl out. Fumbling for her cell in the dimly lit room, Risa answered the call.

“Moshi moshi?”

“Gaki-san , Reina…. Reina she….”


 
[On the streets of Yokohama]

The night air was still and all around the streets were quiet. At almost 4 am in the morning it was hard to see anyone up and about. And since this was one of the less densely populated areas of the city, only the sound of Risa’s footsteps could be heard as she pounded along the pavement towards the direction of the hospital.

With just over twenty metres left before reaching the side road leading to the hospital’s A&E department, a thought suddenly struck Risa. Pulling out her cell that was hastily stuffed into her jacket pocket, Risa speed dialed someone.

The line clicked as it was connected. On the opposite end, the groggy voice that answered somehow initiated a wave of relief throughout Risa.

“Please come to Yokohama, I need you.”

So sorry for the rather long wait everyone. The next chapter should be longer.

sLaVe: Hey no need for apologies. I’m glad with your dropping by and commenting :ONkneelbow:

[gasp] The late-night phone call...the panic....the suspense is building ain't it? :P

I wonder who Risa called though...With 20 minutes away from the hospital, could she have called for Nakazawa Yuuko and her driving abilities (Ourc Cursed Gift reference)?!!? :lol:

Listening to sad music while reading this new chapter is dangerous :cry:  

Reina~ :ONgyaaah:  

The part about Ai Chan's wrath made me laugh though.  Hehe I kept thinking that Ai chan at that moment must have been like oh my god what do I tell Risa

For some strange reason I think Risa called Eri.  They did share closet time afterall :ONshy2:

Thank you for the update! Suki Suki~ :heart:

In case you’re wondering, Yes I ain’t telling who Risa called just yet. You’re gonna have to guess :MKevil:  So no pictures for this chapter. Actually another reason for the lack of pictures is cuz I couldn’t find anything suitable and a pic of a cab would seem rather stupid wouldn’t it XD


Chapter 45


It was barely a five-minute conversation but from it she could already tell that her friend was worried. The urgency in Risa’s voice told her that the girl was almost on the verge of breaking point. Being in the same group as Risa for more than a few years allowed their relationship to come to a level that was more familiar than others. Even with her external portrayal of someone who was always cheerful and smiling, she knew Risa had another side to her. The girl was someone who fell easily into the abyss of depression.

Getting out of her snug bed at 4 am in the morning, she didn’t feel any reluctance at being woken up in such an abrupt manner. In fact she looked forward to meeting Risa in Yokohama. To be able to lend a supporting ear or shoulder to the girl she liked so much. For once she was glad her home was located rather near Risa’s hometown and not someplace out of busy Tokyo like she had always wished. Now as she gathered a few pieces of warm clothing to throw into a bag for the hasty trip, she remembered to bring along a cap so her pretty and famous face could be concealed. She didn’t need any unwanted attention drawn at a time like this.



[Inside the Hospital]

Risa didn’t have to enquire at the information counter to know which way was to the A&E. She knew it all too well. For she already had a previous experience of having to visit the same department. It felt like only a few days ago as she recalled how her grandmother was sent to the same A&E department. At that time, both her grandparents had dropped into Yokohama on an unannounced visit. They were there because they felt bored in Okinawa, but the real reason, Risa knew, was that they came by to see her. They wanted to be there to cheer her on when the other Gokkies graduated. Being extremely close to them from a tender age, the elderly couple knew everything that went on with their dearest eldest grandchild. And similarly, Risa held them close to her heart, so much so that even her younger sister understood her far less.

Now standing at the door to one of the rooms in the A&E, Risa hesitated to enter. What if Reina was…de… NO! Slapping her mentally, Risa forced herself not to think of such a circumstance. Reina had to be fine. She had to be! Pushing open the door slowly, Risa took a deep breath and walked in.



[Inside a Taxi]

“Could you please drive faster?”

Pleading with the cab driver from behind, she kept looking out the window to see where they were.

Usually she wasn’t one who relished speed and wouldn’t for the life of her ask anyone to drive faster. However at a critical time like this, her own fears would have to take a backseat.  

“I am already going as fast as the law would allow.”

The driver was sympathetic after hearing that the destination was a hospital but he could not risk having his license revoked just to impress a pretty girl. Stealing multiple glances at his passenger from the rearview mirror, he could tell she was not a typical young woman. Her clothes were fashionable and surrounding her was an air of elegance that set her apart from all of his other passengers.

Could she be a singer? An actress? Or maybe a print model? It took all he had to keep his curiosity masked. After all he didn’t want to come across as some creepy pervert.

When the vehicle passed a random lamppost along the highway, the light from it allowed the driver to catch a short glimpse of her face. The features of the girl who had a cap on and her head lowered whenever she was not looking out the window.

Not able to contain himself any longer, he finally asked.

“Say, are you from that all girl group, Morning Musume?”

Her breath caught in her throat as she thought of what to say. Should she lie and deny it? Or could just ignore the question and pretend not to have heard it. Oh how she wished Risa were sitting beside her. She would know what to do. She would be able to bail her out. Lamenting at why she was no good at thinking on her feet, she tried to think of a suitable reply.

“I… erm…”

“Ishikawa Rika right? You’re Ishikawa Rika.”

Caught totally by surprise that she would be mistaken for Rika, she covered her mouth to giggle.

“Urm actually no. I think you’re mistaken.”

“You really aren’t her? But you look really alike.”

The driver continued in his monologue as she returned to staring out the window. It would take some time before she would reach Yokohama. Sitting alone as the cab whizzed along on the deserted highway, she wished hard that it wouldn’t be too late and both Reina and Ai would be okay.

Rei.rev.07: Even Eri's supaaa rifeegeta didn't work eh :ONhee:

jafeijai: Who's your guess for the mystery person :panda_what: Tell me tell me *jumps up and down*

Saikami: Oops I realized I didn't satisfy your wanting to know if Reina's okay *gulps and runs to hide* :MKrun:

00HB: That's a good reaction :panda_haha: Please make a guess too.

Sukoshi: Do you still think Eri's the one? Well of course Eri's the one but I meant who Risa called :MKheh:

Post by: Sukoshi on February 10, 2007, 12:01:47 PM
Yes I still think Eri's the one!  but as for who's in the cab...hmmm

So it's not Eri since she lives in Tokyo...but Tokyo is very close to Yokohama....*reads not from Tokyo*...okay okay...must think beyond kamei chan :ONsweat:

My next guesses are Makoto and Konno but they are way far away according to my MM map and I have a feeling this person is a senpai (darn why do I only have a 9-nin map)  Could it be Yossie? :o   It couldn't be Kei chan or Yaguchi could it :ONdunno:

anyways REINA~!!!

Post by: stefy on February 10, 2007, 04:19:54 PM
Lets see, Ishikawa is out, Kamei is out, Fujimoto and Konno is out. I say its Yaguchi or Yossi, cuz Sitama and Kanagawa is the close to Yokohama. Chiba is also a little close to Yokohama  haha but you already said they known each other for few years, so Micchi is out.

I hope its Yossi hehe...

Post by: Yuuyami on February 10, 2007, 04:45:20 PM
Hmm.. Mistaken for Rika? I say it's Sayu o_o' Because you know, narcisstic character and they were posing together for Angels, so I'm just assuming that the driver might've recalled the Angels PB or something, and besides, Morning Musume yo, only 8 members at that time if I recall correctly, so it must absolutely be Sayu. Otherwise, it could be Yossie, since the members must always contact the leader of drastic happenings and whatnot o_o'

Well, it's got to be someone Risa's really close to, and possibly someone who can get mistaken for Rika.


I dunno, I'm stumped. Just post up the next chapter already!!! :lol:

I thought about Sayu too since she's the closest in character to Rika but Sayu's hometown is like half a country away from Yokohama :o   Unless it's about where they bought their house away from home...if so I have no idea at all XD

Haha my three guesses if none of the other factors were implied would be either Risa, Ai, or Miki. Their hair dammit, their hair! [well, when Rika had her long hair ;______________________;] *cries in a corner*

But of course, it can't be Risa.... and Miki... well she would have been in disgust *unless they were lovers in this story <3~ but they're not*.... so Ai?

^_^; I thought it was Reina for a second, dont know WHY. but yeah, i get confused sometimes :D so don't pay mind to this, haha.

Chapter 46


[Outside the Ward]

“They’re right inside. I just have to go through this door…”

Everything sounded so easy. Risa was just a door away from finding out for herself if both Ai and Reina were safe. However no matter how much she wanted to, she couldn’t bring herself to twist open the shiny little doorknob.

“God Risa, get a grip!”

An elderly patient who was walking down that very passageway she was standing in paused his slow walk and threw a questioning glance her way.

“Sorry.”

Risa replied awkwardly before burying her face behind the white facemask she always had in her bag.

(http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/3958/ribn3.jpg)

“Shucks why can’t I do this. You’re such a wimp Risa!”

She scolded herself mentally and kept her eyes on her wristwatch. When would her friend arrive? She desperately needed someone to go in with her.



[At the Hospital's Information Counter]


“Excuse me, is there a patient here by the name of Tanaka Reina?”

The sharp sound of her branded heels making contact with the cold tile floor of the hospital echoed throughout the deserted building. It was a good thing there was no one around at that time of the night. Otherwise someone was bound to come up and tell her to keep quiet. It wasn’t as if she didn’t know what a ruckus she was making. But in her haste to get to her friends and teammates, she couldn’t really care about this small aspect.

After making the final bend around the corridor to the ward she was directed towards, the fashionably dressed girl saw someone standing outside with a facemask covering most of her face. And that someone was no other than the youngest gokkie member.

“Gaki-san!”

Rushing up to the distressed girl, her newly arrived companion pulled her into a great bear hug.

“How are you doing?”

“You’re finally here! I was so afraid Mako-chan.”

Feeling the warmth of her fellow generation member and closest friend after Takahashi, Risa could finally cry her heart out for the first time after hearing about the shocking accident.

Patting her on the back gently, Makoto comforted the weeping girl.

“Everything’s gonna be fine. I know it.”

After calming her down, Makoto clasped Risa’s hand in her own and gave it a little squeeze.

“Let’s go in.”

Once inside, what she saw made Risa feel light-headed. The image of Reina on the bed was enough to shatter anyone who knew her. She looked so very pale and the bed seemed to overwhelm her petite figure. Soft beeping noises emitted from the various machines in the room only worsened the atmosphere.

When they entered the room, Ai still didn’t turn around. It was a wonder if she even knew there were other people around. Letting go of Risa’s hand, Makoto walked over and placed both hands on Ai’s shoulders.

“Hey, how are you holding up?”

When she looked up at the concerned voice, the relief of seeing Makoto brought a fresh round of tears to her already swollen eyes.

(http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/8929/aiaddk2.jpg)
 
“I….I… almost killed her.”



[Outside the Hospital]


The temperature fell drastically and the nighttime air got much colder than before. Standing alone outside, Risa pulled her dark blue jacket tighter around herself. Makoto had asked her to come outside and wait for someone. Before she could find out who this person was, Makoto got preoccupied with Ai again. Deciding to leave her question unanswered, Risa obediently went outside. She knew she was of no help in the ward, not being a doctor or even someone good at consoling others.

Heaving a sigh, she averted her gaze onto the ground and just waited. She expected whoever it was that was appearing to contact her once they reached.

(http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/2131/risadmp9.jpg)

Not long after, a voice called out to her and she immediately recognized its owner. With eyes bulging, she stared with astonishment at the visitor.

“Oh my god, what are you doing here?”  


-----

Mystery person #1 = Ogawa Makoto

I always read that she was into the latest fashion trends so naturally I thought of describing her that way. She's pretty vain too, not in a bad way of course. She just takes pride in her appearance. However I didn't think of Sayumi when wrting the part about hiding her pretty face with a cap. Silly me for forgetting MM's biggest narcissist XD But does Sayu wear caps? :p I've never seen her in one. I have a pic of Mako in a cap somewhere but I can't find it now :evil:

Sukoshi: You got the correct person for the 2nd guess! :yay:  The next chapter will explain how it is her.

stefy: Sorry that it wasn’t Yossi but as this is primarily a GoRokkie fic, her and Miki will only be making special apperances now and then :pen_sorry:

Yuuyami: Contacting the leader when things go wrong is definitely the correct thing to do. Risa’s too shocked and :ONscared: to think straight so she just called the next person closest to her after Ai.

jafeijai: Why didn’t I think of that little fact when writing  :hammerself:

Rei.rev.07: Reina’s alright! Hmmm technically anyway :ONsweat:

JFC: It’s definitely someone that could get mistaken for Rika but not only in the looks department. Okay that’s a clue, did it help? :pen_what:

C60533: Thanks for reading :) Any ideas yet?

wordsworth: I want to post more often than I do but I either get too busy or don’t know what to write :ONdunno:

Saikami: Reina’s still alive so don’t cry :MKcry2:

sLaVe: Risa and Ai are out cuz they are in Yokohama. And nope not Reina either. She isn't in any condition to travel :MKcry1:

rndmnwierd: This person's definitely in the current line-up. I mean the line-up without Aika. Okay so not so current XD After excluding the 3 already in Yokohama, and Makoto, there’s only 4 more to go :ONbingo:

Glad to know that Reina's doing fine but the image of her lying in a hospital bed is :ONgyaaah:

Mako-chan makes an apperance! :tfr9a7wg:

My guess for mystery person #2 is Aibon :ONglasses:

Yay for (Super) Makoto saving the day!!! ....Or at least comforting the day.....Or something like that...o.O Umm...I guess I'll stick with "Yay for Makoto!" :P

Hm...Second mystery person eh? And it's another pre-Aika MM member? Hmm...maybe the "Oh my god" means it's KONNO ASAMI?!?! That'd be a great time for her to show up, a Gokkie reunion, albeit a sad time for them to reunite...

The second mystery person must be ERI! *lol sorry my mind is always in Kamei land*  now for my real guess.  I think it must be Konkon then, where Makoto goes Konkon is sure to be close behind right? Though I have no idea why there would be another mystery person...hum...I wonder if Makoto called someone on the way there.

so let's see Mako, Reina, Ai, and Risa are accounted for which leaves Konkon, Eri and Sayu..but Eri and Sayu are happy in lala tokyo land so yeah back to Konkon it is XD  

unless it's someone totally unexpected say Tsunku :ON@_@:

All I can say is that I'm with O_Slave here....
It's impossible not to think of Konkon if Mako-chan is around. =^_^=
And I'm sure she would be a lot preocupied with her friend, couse she would be the first person that Makochin would contact! :panda_love:

Chapter 47
 
Catching a glimpse of the silver wall clock in the ward. Makoto realized it had been nearly an hour since she arrived. She knew Asami must be worried sick back at the little apartment they shared in the outskirts of Toyko. The cubby faced girl had wanted to come along but Makoto persuaded her to stay. After all she had an important entrance exam the next day.

“You must call as soon as possible.”

“Don’t worry I will and ... I’m sure they are all fine.”

Adding in the last part of the sentence as an after thought, Makoto convinced herself and Asami that the girls were not seriously hurt, if they were even hurt at all. They had to be alright.

“Ai-chan.”

Tapping her lightly on the shoulder, Makoto broke Takahashi out of her thoughts. Even though she was sitting in the chair next to Reina’s bed, Makoto could tell her mind was a million miles away.

“You’re probably hungry, I’ll go get you something. What would you like?”

(http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/1249/aidownop4.jpg)

“I’m fine Makoto. I’m really not hungry.”

Heaving a sigh, Makoto nodded to noone in particular. She had already guessed that the outcome of her question would be along the line of this but she decided to go out and buy something anyway. If Ai wasn’t going to eat then she was just going to have to make her, one way or another.

“Stay here okay? I’ll be right back.”

As soon as she slipped out the door, Makoto fished out the white cell phone from her clutch bag and proceeded to dial Asami’s number.



[In KonnoGawa’s Apartment]

The table lamp was the only beam that was illuminating the room where a sleeping figure sat at a desk. Her head lay on the table top as she had fallen asleep over the books strewn everywhere.
 
(http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/3567/konsleepli6.jpg)

In a dark corner of the room, a ringing tone sounded and the greenish light of a cell phone started blinking. Jolting the sleeping girl out of her sleep, she realized the phone call she had been waiting for so long has finally arrived.

Scrambling to reach the phone, she managed to pick it up on the first ring. The call connected and Asami could hear Makoto’s voice on the other end.

“How are things?! How are they?!!”

Pulling her cell phone some distance away from her ear, Makoto cupped one hand over her mouth and hissed loudly into the speaker piece.

“Calm down. I’m in the hospital and your voice can be heard booming out of my phone."

Then reducing the volume of her own voice, Makoto began filling Asami in on the happenings. Anyone noticing her would realize the conversation to be peppered with random gasps and high pitched exclamations.



[Inside Reina’s Ward]

“I’m so sorry Reina. If only I wasn’t so petty and unreasonable. You wouldn’t be in this state otherwise. Please open your eyes. I’ll do anything if you would wake up. I…. I’ll even…. let you and Sayumi be together without any complains.”

Holding Reina’s cold and limp left hand in her own, Ai squeezed it tightly. She hoped that somehow Reina would be able to hear her, to feel her. As long as she was going to be alright, Ai was willing to do anything, lose anything. Even if it meant no longer being able to love one of the two most important people in the world to her.



[In a Random Hallway]

“Wait, you haven’t told me what you’re doing here.”

Quickening her steps to catch up with the girl walking briskly in front, Risa managed to pull on her grey jacket to halt her.

“No time for talk. I’ll explain later.”

Before she knew it, her companion stopped in front of a plastic looking door that was left open. Without even looking up at the sign stuck on the door or knocking, she walked right in.

Curiously, Risa followed her and inside, saw the room to be the office of a rather important man. Someone wearing a long white robe was standing with his back towards them.  

“Uncle Tanabe.”

Turning around, the man greeted them with a smile before gesturing for them to be seated in the fluffy chairs positioned near his desk.

“It has been a long time. How have you been?”

Grinning a huge wide smile, Eri nodded enthusiastically. She appeared to know the elderly man well.

“I’m really sorry for troubling you so late uncle Tanabe. But about what I mentioned earlier.”

“Ah of course. I’ll make sure the news of your friends being in this hospital stays within these walls.”

“Thank you so much uncle Tanabe. We are all extremely grateful.”

Bowing deeply to show her appreciation, she tugged at Risa to follow suit. A little lost with what was happening, Risa just obeyed and when she looked up again, noticed the laugh lines on the man’s face. They gave her the feeling that they could trust him.

“It’s nothing much. Just remember to invite me over to visit more often and don’t forget to prepare that tasty stew of your mother’s.”

The girls were finally ushered out after a few more minutes of talk with the busy doctor. As the pair walked side by side towards the exit, Eri finally slowed down her pace. It generally took Risa a long time to figure things out and tonight things were even more bizarre and hectic than the usual dance rehearsal or voice recording. Deciding to give her tired mind a break, Risa turned to ask her friend directly.

(http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/5352/erisa1lr7.jpg)

“Can you tell me what’s going on now Kamei?”

I'm done with a few of my projects and reports so a quickie chapter before I have to start studying for a test next week. I'll try to write another chapter over the weekend if time permits. Until then enjoy :)

iacus: Yep 2 mystery people. Makes it all the more fun doesn’t it :p

Saikami: :pen_no: I could never let Reina die. I love her!

Rei: There, now you know who’s mystery person #2 :)

wordsworth: Wow where did you get Aibon? Random but still cool cuz I like her. I’m definitely behind the ‘Bring back the Bon’ campaign :pen_nod:

jafeijai: I didn’t plan for Risa to be sad for so long but somehow it just happened. The sad look kinda fits her though. Makes you wanna hold her tight and console her right XD

JFC: Hmmmm good guess :ONbingo: I was debating between her and Eri.

Sukoshi: Absolutely right!! It’s Kamei Kamei Kyamei!! :MKgroovin:

Amarghetta: Awww thanks. I love getting praises :yay:

Owaranai_sLaVe: I originally thought of KonKon but that’ll be an easy guess since wherever Mako goes, KonKon goes too :lol:

rndmnwierd: “Buuuuuu” It ain’t the Fujimoto :ONbigdeal:

On a completely unrelated note, the fact that in Ai-chan's picture she is wearing a bikini (she is wearing a bikini, right!?) was pretty amusing <_<;; It's like, all sad and there suddenly comes a picture of her in a bikini... Okay, I think I just ruined the mood here :evil:

I love how you put those pics inside the fanfics, they go well with the story.

And threesome H!P fics? Instant WIN XD. Random Morning Musume pairings? Also WIN XD.

Regarding the current development of the story...
Aichan! And Reina in hospital? NO... REINA! :ONfrustrated:

YATTA~ UPDATE!! :thumbsup:D

[gasp] It was Kamei?! Darn..At least Konno appeared in the story again.....You purposely put that part first up didn't you? JUST to make Konno impossible to be the one at the hospital..

Like the others say, how does Kamei have such great connections?! We must know!!!

It's great that you're still continuing this lil_hamz! :thumbsup Keep it up, fellow Risa lover!! :D

Ohh Reina, get better soon! Ai better not break Gaki's heart! I feel confrontation and heartbreak of with TaGaki coming...:ONcry:

Hmmm, for some reason, I rather like a desperate, concerned KonKon. It's a change from her usual calm demeanor. I like the doting Makoto... :tfr9a7wg:

Eri's so handy! :heart:

Intense fic, lil_hamz!!

Chapter 48


The repetitive sound that kept finding its way into Reina’s ears made the tired girl struggle and open her eyes to find out what the annoying noise was. Opening one wonky eye, she found her lone eyeball assaulted by a strong bright light.

Argh! I’m going blind!

Wait, a bright light….does that mean I’m dead?

Determined to make sure she wasn’t going down without a fight, Reina raised one arm to shield her vision from the brightness of the beam. If she was going to heaven, or hell for that matter, she wanted to see who it was taking her away from the world she was so reluctant to leave behind.

The second time she opened her eyes, the smart girl managed to catch a glimpse of some words beyond the light. 

Something tal…. Something pital…. f*** the front words. The last word reads hospital….HOSPITAL? I’m in a hospital? So I’m not dead?!

Flailing the arm of her now excited self, she swung it around blindly to try and reach any switch that could cut the luminosity of the lamp from stinging her eyes. After a few failed attempts, her middle finger finally flicked against a button. 

With the lamp now switched off, the room fell into semi darkness with the only illumination coming from a crack beneath what Reina assumed was the door. A few minutes ticked by before Reina’s eyes adjusted to the dimness of the almost quiet room. The weird noise from earlier hasn’t stopped and craning her neck over to the left, the young yankee at last saw what was making the sound. Lying sprawled on her back on the sofa in the corner of the room, was her fifth generation senpai. Makoto’s mouth was slightly ajar with a trickle of drool threatening to fall at any moment.

(http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/9751/reileftgm9.jpg)

Stifling a giggle, the now wide awake patient continued looking around the room. When her view found its way back to her bed, she discovered an astonishing sight. Ai was sitting in the chair by her bedside, apparently asleep. The only difference between her and Makoto was the manner in which they slept. Ai was so much more beautiful and serene.

Awestruck by the beauty of the girl she had admired for so long, Reina just stared at the delicate features of Ai. The moon that had crept high into the sky somewhere during Reina’s quiet admiration now cast its strange glow through the open windows and reflected beautifully off Ai’s sleeping form.

Why are you so beautiful? 
 
Lifting her hand to Ai’s face, Reina hovered her fingers near her smooth and flawless cheek. Should she risk rousing Ai and having herself being caught in such a suggestive act? Especially since they had technically broken up? Digging her nails into the palm of her hand, Reina weighed her options.

(http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/9207/reifinger2qy8.jpg)

She might not wake up. She probably wouldn’t. Yeah she won’t.

With one trembling hand, Reina brushed her fingers lightly against Ai’s cheek. Nothing, there was absolutely no reaction from the girl. She was almost certainly in a deep sleep. Bolder now from her previous success, Reina tried again. This time, she let her fingers stay on Ai’s face, even going as far as to run her thumb over the sleeping girl’s cheek.

I wish we were still together.

"Reina... miss you."

Just as she was going to retract her hand, satisfied from the little joy she had derived from the short moment, a hand no bigger than her own clamped itself over. It seemed a rather awkward situation with Reina's hand on Ai's cheek and Ai's hand on Reina's. But the strangest thing of all was that, the girls could think of nothing at this moment except how beautiful each other looked with their face shrouldered beneath the mixture of moonlight and darkness that enveloped the room.

[The Niigaki Mansion]


“Oh, so you knew him from such a long time ago.”

“Yep. He was the doctor I went to for my eczema problem since I was a kid. It’s really a coincidence that he was transferred to Yokohama to be the new hospital director.”

KameMame were now sitting in the kitchen area of the Niigaki household. Both their coats were draped over the high chair nearest the wall while Eri sat in another. As Risa busied herself with making cups of hot cocoa, they talked about the Kamei family’s connections.

“Isn’t Mr. Tanabe a rather renowned doctor? And he was your family doctor? Wow Kamei you are that rich huh.”

Placing a white mug with the picture of a turtle in front of Eri, Risa walked out of the kitchen and took her place in the high chair next to Eri.

“We’re okay I guess. But Gaki-san, you aren’t that shabby yourself.”

Taking a sip from the mug and waving at random spots in the house, Eri made her point.

“We seem to have more in common than we thought.”

Slapping Eri’s arm lightly, Risa appeared to be in a much more relaxed mood as compared to earlier.

“How did you end up coming here anyway? Mako-chan told you about the accident?”

She could guess the second youngest Gokkie as the mastermind in the plan. No one else had known about the accident as she had forgotten to inform their leader - Yoshizawa. Still, it could be a blessing in disguise since Eri managed to settle the situation so easily. At present, as long as they could get Reina back to Tokyo in one piece by the time their break was over, things would be fine. Nobody else had to find out or things could get ugly. Risa could just imagine the tabloids splashing the incident over front covers and making a tidy sum off their misfortune.

“I have a request.”

“A request?”

Eri asked with a puzzled expression after taking the last sip from the mug.

“Could you keep this from Sayumi? It’s not that I don’t trust her. Really, it’s not like that at all. I just hope to keep things quiet.”

Putting on her most earnest expression, Risa crossed her fingers behind her back. Hopefully Eri bought her little speech. It's not like she was lying, she did trust Sayumi. She just didn't trust Michishige's brain when she was in the company of outsiders. The girl was known to hold long conversations happily with anyone that was willing to listen. And that, could potentially bring harm to their image.

“You don’t have to be so nervous Gaki-san. I totally understand. I wasn’t intending to tell her anyway.”

“What?! You, not confiding in Sayumin? This is news.”

“Well we’re having issues. Or rather I am.”

Looking down to her pair of hands with perfectly manicured nails, Eri started figiting with them. It was obvious she was pretending to be interested with the design that were painstakingly painted on just a couple of days ago.

“Issues? You know you can talk to me Kame. I am after all, your senpai.”

Cocking a perfectly plucked eyebrow, Risa prompted her friend to continue.

“I don’t know how it started or when I started feeling this way. But I kinda find it difficult to.... you know, get excited around Sayu these days. I'm afraid that.... I... might have a problem.”

Oh my god.

Risa barely managed to stop herself from gasping aloud. Instead, she now had one finger stuck near her ear and a rather wide open mouth. Staring at Eri with huge eyes, she couldn't even blink as her overwhelmed brain thought of something to say.

(http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/4766/rifingerco3.jpg)

Think Risa. Say something. ANYTHING!

"Eh.... well... maybe.... tired! That's it. You're probably tired."

Slapping her hands together, Risa pointed at Eri and nodded her head forcefully as if telling her junior to accept what she just said.

"You think so? But even when Sayu's right next to me in bed. When she runs her hand up my stomach and breathes into my ear...."

(http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/176/eriuthinkkh2.jpg)

For a while, Risa had a dazed look. She tried hard to block out the explicit details Eri was telling her. How could she possibly sit there and listen to what the turtle and hare pair got up to when they were left alone? Yet a part of her was gnawing at her brain. Telling her ears to continue listening in on every little detail, for the process sounded truly heavenly. Between the battle going on in her brain and trying to appear attentive like the dependable senpai she should be, Risa managed to pick up a few words. Most of them were along the lines of, carassing.... so close to each other......... lips touched......... tie........ hair smelt so sweet ....

Wait, tie? What did they do with a tie?

Shuddering, Risa decided she didn't need to know that. Enough was enough. Facing one palm up and chopping her other hand down on it, Risa gestured for Kamei to stop talking.

"Okay! I get the picture."

Too clear a picture, with extremely detailed imagery.

"What you need, is something to rekindle the spark."


-----


"Did you mean it?"

Ai's big round eyes were imploring for Reina to say something. But the usually dare-devil yankee was to stunned to speak. She couldn't believe that her carefully hidden vulnerable and sweet side was discovered. By the Takahashi that was pretending to be asleep no less.

"I know I promised to let you be with Sayumi if you woke up but please.... tell me once more that you, missed me."

Suddenly, Ai's eyes began to water and drops of tears slid from their ends. The fluid that would be priceless to any fan seeped into Reina's hand that was still positioned on Ai's cheek. This wet sensation coupled with the sudden squeeze of hand by Ai brought the shocked girl back to her senses, and not a second too soon.

"What do you mean by be with Sayumi? Reina ain't being with nobody unless it's Ai-chan!"

Wah for a moment there I was worried that Reina did go blind!  oh how Ai chan would never be able to forgive herself if Reina never recovered fully...though it will probably still be hard on Reina to recover fully before the end of the break. 

Reina's determination is just the best though since she was willing to fight it out with heaven and hell =)  Gotta love her Yankiness!   :cool1:

Wait, tie? What did they do with a tie?

Shuddering, Risa decided she didn't need to know that.

LOL Risa..I think the rest of us want to know  :bingo:  I have a suspicion that Sayu's really into Eric though it has also crossed my mind that Eri's problem might have been caused by Risa and the closet  :lol:

LOL a Reina thinking she was dead XD  Uuu! uuu! yes, like wordsworth said, the ferris wheel! those are always fun!

Me too, so i know how that feels. Soon? Let's see, if I procrastonate on two of my projects (which i most likely will, but probably on non productive stuff) that are do after this week, have time after the party, actually study for my Geometry H test because im not happy with my grade (I want my algebra ;_; )...I think i may be able to put out a short chapter that i might not even be happy with T___T. You have no idea how badly I want to write because of how long the Valentine timeline is. arrrgghh and my notes are so messy.

Now, Eri is having a problem. :O Well, I agree with Sukoshi, it could be because of the closet encounter. Although, personally I rather Eri be with Risa over Sayu anyway. XD

Chapter 49


[Back in Hello! Apartments]

Standing in front of Sayumi's door at 4 am in the morning wasn't something Eri did everyday. But this time things were different. She was going to carry out the plan Risa hatched up for her. At first, she couldn't stop laughing when she heard parts of "Operation Elly" related by a very enthusiatic Risa. Everything sounded ridiculous, insane even. However on hindsight, the plan did sound exciting and rather feasible. It was guaranteed to rekindle that extinguished flame, or so Risa claimed. 

Curling her fingers into a small ball, Eri prepared herself to knock on Sayumi's door. The pink furry sign which beared her beautiful name in kanji hung in the middle of the wooden structure. Staring at it for a while now, Eri's eyes began to blur and her stomach churned. Arghs! Why was she chickening out at such a crucial moment. Deciding that she needed back-up before she gave up completely, Eri started towards the stairs and ran upstairs to find her closet senpai.

'If there isn't a 7.5 scale earthquake or fire that's gonna burn me to crisp any second, that person is so gonna die.'

Mumbling grumpily to herself, Risa dragged her tired body towards the door. The hours spent on the train's little compartment in the day made her sore all over and it was only after falling alseep did she find herself less achey. Whoever was standing outside sounded like she was going to break through her door at any moment. Hence the exhausted girl had no choice but to grudgingly hurry to let the impatient beast in. Swinging the tormented door wide open with one forceful pull, Risa came face to face with a bent over Eri, still panting from running up the stairs two steps at a time.

'If this isn't an emergency, you're DEAD!'

Since she could not catch her breath back fast enough to reply the fuming older girl. Eri clamped her sweaty hand over Risa's wrist and pulled her towards the stairs. Back down the same way she came up. She would just have to explain things later.

'What?! You woke me up at 4 plus am in the freaking morning just so I could be your personal cheerleading squad while you made out with Shige!!!'

Risa was one millisecond away from exploding, she felt like a volcano bubbling at intense levels, going to erupt at any second. As nice and understanding a person she could be, she was no happy camper when it came to sleeping issues. This was the perfect example of a person who didn't take kindly to being woken up abruptly. She would wake up at her own time, on her own terms.

'I'm so sorry Gaki-san but this is an emergency. There's only got a couple of hours left before everyone gets back. Today is the last day of our break. And I really wanna do this before it becomes too crowded. I don't think I could muster up the courage another time. Also, what if someone stumbles onto us while we were at it?'

Grinding her teeth, Risa looked from Eri's flustered face to Sayumi's name on the door. She really wanted to smack Eri over the head with the trashcan that stood temptingly in the corner. It was funny that she hadn't noticed how gleaming and handy that trashcan looked before. Too bad bashing Eri would result in bloodshed and injuries that would be problematic to hide. It was already a big headache having to conceal Reina's wound, there was really no need to add another casualty to the list. Fine, so the turtle would live... for now. Wow, so she did share some traits with the senpai she adored so much before successfully entering Momosu - Abe Natsumi.

'You know what you're supposed to do right?'

Eri nodded her head rapidly. She had gone through every detail of the plan and made sure she memorized them step by step. It was part of the reason why she could only put the plan into action during the early hours of the morning. Eri didn't initially plan to carry out this crazy deed at all but that afternoon, when the group of five had arrived back in Tokyo after the endless train ride from Yokohama, Konno had been standing on the platform waiting for them, no doubt informed by Makoto. And standing by her side looking very pretty indeed in a pink and white frilly strap top, was Sayumi. She looked so beautiful with the sun setting behind her that Eri's breathe was taken away instantly.

(http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/710/saypd2.jpg)

Later, she was further touched when Sayumi, who had obviously knew all the happenings after being filled in by a reluctant KonKon on the night she had left for Yokohama after receiving Makoto's urgent phone call, didn't shout or stomp her feet at being the last to find out. In fact, Sayumi didn't even jump at her throat for not notifying her about something so important or blame her for running off without a single phone call or message for so many days. There was none of that. Instead, Sayumi offered to carry her luggage and silently slipped her hand around Eri's arm, leading her towards the cab stand where a rather long queue was already forming. Her actions made Eri feel bad, so much so that she decided to jot down from memory all the major points of "Operation Elly" as soon as they returned to their apartment block.

'I won't be going back with you guys. We need to catch up.'

(http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/2729/makce0.jpg)

Annoucing this with a huge grin on her rosy face, Makoto moved aside to let the Rokkies and remaining Gokkies pass through when two cabs pulled up to the stand. Then wrapping an arm around the gentle Asami, she gave a little wink as a glint flashed in her eye. Everyone knew what sort of catching up she meant when they saw how tightly she held onto her bag of "victory items". Earlier, back in Yokohama, Makoto had insisted that Risa take her out for some long overdue shopping. Strangly, the target of her mad shopping spree revolved only around food. In spite of Risa mentioning that her hometown wasn't really famous for chocolate sauce. Makoto dumped into her cart every single brand and type of chocolate sauce she could find at the supermarket. At the cash register, the checkout lady gave them a weird look after seeing the small mountain of sauces and the satisfied smile on Makoto's face.



~ Flashback to a Few Days Earlier ~

'Why did you buy so many types of sauces Mako-chan?'

'Oh you know, so KonKon and I could enjoy ourselves. It really is so much more fun with it. You should try it sometime Kamei-chan.'

Rolling her eyes, Risa reached out for a random bottle that lay nearest to her on the coffee table. Marginally managing to shrink herself back before Makoto could swipe at her to grab it back. She twisted the cover open and stuck a finger in.

'I'll do a taste test.'

Seeing Risa's actions, a light bulb illuminated above Eri's head.

'Ah, so it's supposed to be eaten like that. But why would anyone want to eat chocolate sauce by itself. Won't it be too sweet?'

Scratching her head with a confused expression on her face, Eri looked from Risa to Makoto and back again, waiting for one of them to further explain. Eyeing their somewhat curvy junior, the Gokkies wondered if she was being sacastic. However, Eri's pouted lip expression told them she truly didn't know the "real" reason.

'Uhhh... that's a good question Kamei. Mako-chan will explain the reason to you whilst I take a shower.'

'GAKI-SAN~~~~'

Jumping up from her seat on the couch and running upstairs towards the bathroom, Risa made like an arrow slicing through the air straight for its target. She slammed the door and ssexy beasted loudly when she heard Makoto yelling her name after being bombarded with Eri's questioning. Sometimes, the turtle was too naive for her own good.

~ End of Flashback ~



'Come on, open the door.'

Pushing Eri towards Sayumi's bedroom door, Risa nudged at the statue to get inside already. However her junior had a serious case of shell-shock syndrome and couldn't move an inch. Eri was definitely no Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle in these scenarios.

'Go on, hurry up!'

(http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/4659/erlo4.jpg)

'Ehhhh?!?! But...but....what if she's already sleeping? It wouldn't be good to wake her.'

Making a last ditch attempt with badly thought up excuses to try and get out of entering Sayumi's bedroom, a scared Eri clutched at Risa's hand and refused to budge. Her wobbly legs felt like jelly, barely able to support her weight or prevent her from crashing to the floor.

'Of course she's asleep. It's early morning! Are you gonna do this or not? I'm going back to bed if you aren't!'



[Reina's Room]

'Did you hear that?'

'Voices?'

'Let's check it out.'



[Rokkies Hallway]

Opening the door a crack, Ai peeped out into the darkened hallway, her heart pounded rapidly, afraid of what she might see. As soon as her eyes got accustomed to the darkness, she saw not some frightening boogyman roaming the corridors but two shadowy figures standing outside Sayumi's room. Recognizing them as Risa and Eri but not being able to hear what was being said, Ai got increasingly angry when she saw Eri holding onto Risa's arm and her Risa, yes her Risa patting back gently. An outraged Ai practically kicked open Reina's door and zoomed over to the pair with a stunned Reina trying desperately to keep up.

'Why are you two holding hands?!'

A couple of extremely surprised faces spun 180 degrees around to gape at the uninvited intruder. Eri's hands immediately flew off Risa's like having touched a hot potato and she shrank back a few metres to clutch at her chest with both hands. Failing to calm her frantically beating heart, she could only stare opened mouthed at the furious Takahashi. Having the chance to observe Ai properly and Reina who was trailing behind, Risa's right temple twitched.

'And why are you two dressed in practically nothing exiting Tanakacchi's room? Why wasn't I informed about the late night activity AGAIN?'

Ai had an expression of disbelief as she folded her arms across her chest, resting her full weight on one leg.

'You're the thief and you're screaming robbery? Look at what you're wearing.'

What was I wearing? Risa couldn't recall what she wore to bed. She only remembered what she had picked out for Eri to ensure their plan was foolproof. Something she was sure Sayumi couldn't resist. Eric clothed in nothing but a large white shirt had to do the trick.

'She's wearing a white shirt while I'm wearing.....'

Glancing down at herself, Risa's mouth dropped down so wide there was a full splendid view of her neatly placed rows of teeth. She was wearing her favorite undies. White lacy ones she secretly bought for herself some time ago. With her mind doing a 50 metre quick dash back to just before Eri proclaimed her decision to carry out the wondrous plan,  Risa had a vague image of taking off her tank top and flinging it across the room while sleeping. She had always felt uncomfortable during the months with high tempertures and this was usually what happened when the night got too hot .

'God Kame! Why didn't you tell me?'

Glaring at the shivering turtle who was in no condition to explain matters or help in her suspicious position, Risa narrowed her eyes and raised her voice to yell exasperatedly.

"You! Inside now!"

Pulling on the shirt sleeve of the white oversize shirt Eri was wearing, Risa yanked her towards Sayumi's room, twisted at the door knob and pushed her inside with one smooth motion. The whole episode was over in a second. Now left to face Ai's wrath on her own, Risa took a deep breathe before speaking.

'It's not what you think or see. I can explain everything....'

Before Risa could shift into high gear and convince Ai that she was as innocent as a new born baby, Reina who had been standing at the side witnessing the entire chain of events in silence finally spoke.

'Before Ai-chan tears your hair out, I wanna know why you're wearing lacy underwear. Aren't all of us restricted from owning anything other than white cotton undies?' 



[Sayumi's Room]

'Yes Eric yes! That feels so good.'

*Thud!*

A loud noise woke Sayumi up from her very blissful dream. Annoyed at being interrupted at the best part, she  kicked her pink bed covers off angrily and sat up with a frown on her pretty face. She was all ready to yell at whoever was making the ruckus. However, before she could scream bloody murder, she saw a wide-eyed pouty Eri dressed in a white long-sleeved shirt, plastered back first on the door. Sayumi's eyes travelled down from Eri's face to her bare feet standing on the thick carpeted floor. She was no longer able to resist the smile that was slowing creeping onto her lips after noticing Eri tremble slightly from the air conditioning's strong blast. Sayumi was more than happy to be awake now. Eric in the flesh was way better than any dream. Licking her slightly dry lips, she rolled off the bed and crossed the short three metre distance between them.

First off, a thousand apologies for this update which took an incredibly long time. I had a serious case of writer's block. Next, I'm thinking of ending this fic soon before it gets too boring. So do keep a look out for the last (or maybe last few) chapter(s).

 
orangesocks: Oops, does this count as a misunderstanding  :dunno:

wordsworth: Well, it won't exactly be a trip on the ferris wheel this time, but it should be just as *aheminterestingcough*  :ding:

Sukoshi: And Eric makes an appearance! I had wanted to go there (Risa, Eri & the closet) but on 2nd thoughts, things are messy enough aren't they  :glasses:

Owaranai_sLaVe: Yes, school is horrible. I've just been released for a while after my last paper. Better to get on with the story today since my writer's block seems to be on bit of a vacation too  :hehehe:

JFC: Let's hope matchmaker mame can help herself this time  :prayers:

Saikami: I like Eri with Risa too! *high 5* Actually I like Risa with everyone :kekeke:

Ren: Hahahahaaaaa yeah that is pretty funny. I'm imaging it in my head now. Victorian time KameMame. Slap Sayu is hilarious sounding to me for some reason and it really shouldn't. How could slapping anyone be funny? I'm bad  :sweat:

stefy: I bet everyone has a crush on Eri sometime or another. She's too cute to resist :heart: Ahhhh Eri *daydreams*  :luvluv1:

rndmnwierd: Takanagaki trio. I like the sound of that. It's a mouthful  :wahaha: They won't be over if I can help it. There's no way Risa doesn't get a good ending in my fic. Lolz. 

deviousmind: Thanks for reading this and liking it. I'll definitely write this to the end  :kneelbow:

Hehe poor Eri...I liked how Risa, Ai, and Sayu all wanted to hurt Eri at one point in the night (though I would never want harm to cross Kamei's path!)  :sweat:

ah...what can I say, they are all just so loveable especially turtle mode Eric and jealous Ai !

Thanks for the update! it's the highlight of my day/night  :k-thrilled:

That's so cute...and funny! :D

Eri started towards the stairs and ran upstairs to find her closet senpai.

'If there isn't a 7.5 scale earthquake or fire that's gonna burn me to crisp any second, that person is so gonna die.'

Mumbling grumpily to herself, Risa dragged her tired body towards the door.
Of course, it would have to be her. :P

'What?! You woke me up at 4 plus am in the freaking morning just so I could be your personal cheerleading squad while you made out with Shige!!!'
Well, it WAS Risa's plan to begin with. (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/yep.gif)


Quote
Makoto dumped into her cart every single brand and type of chocolate sauce she could find at the supermarket. At the cash register, the checkout lady gave them a weird look after seeing the small mountain of sauces and the satisfied smile on Makoto's face.

~ Flashback to a Few Days Earlier ~

'Why did you buy so many types of sauces Mako-chan?'

'Oh you know, so KonKon and I could enjoy ourselves. It really is so much more fun with it. You should try it sometime Kamei-chan.'
That's so ecchi!!!  :pimp:  >:D

[Reina's Room]

'Did you hear that?'

'Voices?'

'Let's check it out.'
*gasp* :o
Who's in Reina's room? o_o


Quote
Ai peeped out into the darkened hallway, her heart pounded rapidly, afraid of what she might see. As soon as her eyes got accustomed to the darkness, she saw not some frightening boogyman roaming the corridors but two shadowy figures standing outside Sayumi's room. Recognizing them as Risa and Eri but not being able to hear what was being said, Ai got increasingly angry when she saw Eri holding onto Risa's arm and her Risa, yes her Risa patting back gently.
Oh crap it's Aichan!!! But...wait a sec, what's she doing in Reina's room???


Quote
Having the chance to observe Ai properly and Reina who was trailing behind, Risa's right temple twitched.

'And why are you two dressed in practically nothing exiting Tanakacchi's room? Why wasn't I informed about the late night activity AGAIN?'
Oh shit this can't be good. Strange thing is, can't be sure whether Risa's pissed because Aichan and Reina got caught or because she herself wasn't invited. :P


Quote
Glancing down at herself, Risa's mouth dropped down so wide there was a full splendid view of her neatly placed rows of teeth. She was wearing her favorite undies. White lacy ones she secretly bought for herself some time ago.

Chapter 50 (Final)


“What are you doing here Eri? Did something happen?”

Sayumi’s voice was filled with concern and it was apparent she was worried about the surprise visitor who had called at such an unearthly hour. When Eri didn’t speak, the anxiousness within Sayumi only increased as she stepped closer and furrowed her delicately shaped brows.

“Eri? Speak to me, you are scaring me.”

“I…”

Finally starting to talk but breaking off before the sentence was complete, Eri struggled to find the words.

“Come with me?”

It had always been a challenge for Eri to verbalize her thoughts and hence she had constantly left the task of dialogue to Risa with whom she had random Hello! Morning segments with. Except at this moment Risa wasn’t around to help her. On one hand Eri felt frustrated at herself, yet on the other, she was grateful that Sayumi was the one seeing her so helpless. 

Now running along the silent hallway in the half darkness, Sayumi’s heart pumped at an astonishing rate. She wasn’t sure if the adrenaline that was pulsing through her veins was caused purely by the action of running or something else. It was fully possible that her lack of any real exercise save for the group’s weekly dance practice contributed to her breathlessness and flushed cheeks. But somehow, she suspected the clammy hand of a certain turtle that was tightly clasped around her own was the genuine reason why she was feeling all the symptoms of being giddy with joy.

Watching Eri’s familiar back and letting her best friend pull her along through the seemingly endless corridors, Sayumi smiled to herself. She could feel the slightly cold early morning air brush against her cheeks as their pace quickened. The two rows of small lights fitted in the walls a few inches off the floor transformed their path into a mystical route. She could immediately imagine this as the trail that would lead them to an enchanted castle. Even if it didn’t, Sayumi knew in her heart she would follow Eri anywhere.


-----


“So this is it? You're breaking up with me? I should have known a threesome would never work."

Convinced that all this underwear talk was just an excuse to find fault with her. Risa laughed bitterly and looked from Ai to Reina. So it was true that the two were getting tired of her. And now they were looking for a fast way to kick her out. In the end her mounting suspicions were sadly proven right.

"Who said anything about breaking up?"

"Really? Then why am I always being left out. It's like you don't need me, don't want me, around."

"Did it look to you like we're having all the fun? Cuz we aren't. Things don't reach fun, fun without you Gaki-san."

Seeing Risa’s disbeliving look, Reina moved forward to grab at her friend's arms, tugging on them gently.

"It's true, Ai-chan can't keep things up by herself."

Her words sounded like a bad joke, but as Reina patted the taller girl's head, mimicking Risa's action whenever she comforted her juniors after a particularly frightening rollercoaster ride or scary ghost house experience, Risa knew the yankee was trying her darnest to cheer her up. And she was thankful for it. Reina did have an amazing ability to make people feel at ease when she wanted to.

The small triangular formation they were standing in fell into an uncomfortable silence as Reina thought of what else to say. Unfortunately, she ran out of good ideas for salvaging difficult situations as quickly as they came to her.  Tilting her head and making short jerky movements, she shot Ai a look, motioning for her to say something.

Even though she was hesitant, Ai also went up to Risa. Knowing Reina, she might decide to come over and drag her there herself if she didn't comply soon.

“Gaki-san…”

When Ai reached Risa, she was both surprised and guilty to see her face streaked with tears. For a minute Ai didn’t know what to do. She thought of that picture stuck on her mirror, of them years ago with Makoto and KonKon, huddled together in the make-up room as the rest of the world rushed past them. And she thought of what Risa had done the million times she had cried to her, collapsing at the slightest wounding of her heart or pride.

(http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/6220/5kkigl8.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

So she reached over and pulled her over, wrapping her arms around her sobbing best friend. Blaming herself for ever thinking that the one person who stood by her all these years would betray her, she suddenly released Risa from her arms and slapped herself.

At this point, a shell-shocked Reina complete with blank expression and Risa with eye's glazed over with fresh tears watched as Ai-chan did something she rarely did for a person full of pride. She apologized.

(http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/4140/reinaaa6.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

"I'm a selfish, immature brat. I deserved to be smacked for riveting back to the self-centred, childish mentality that I wish I never had. I shouldn't have but I did. I hurt you..."


-----


The trees and buildings outside swayed with the winds as rain pelted down on every piece of unsheltered road. The world looked like a big white blur to Makoto as she sat leaning an elbow on the windowsill. It was warm and comfortable inside Asami’s apartment and she was glad to be indoors instead of battling the elements before dawn. More than a few people on the streets were rushing about, probably trying to get to their destinations sooner than later. Tokyo is truly a city that never sleeps.

“What are you thinking of?”

Rousing out of the couch and appearing to sit alongside Makoto at the window, Kon Kon rested her head on her partner’s shoulder and accompanied her, staring quietly out at nothing in particular. The two sat there caught up in their own paradise, enjoying the sound of rain falling against the glass and the small pleasure of being with each other. After several minutes of peaceful calm, Asami brought up the Yokohama trip.

(http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/751/makonozq2.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

“How was Yokohama? Did you manage to settle things?”

“They really didn’t need me at all. Kamei-chan had the hospital bit covered and Gaki-san held up pretty well.”

“That’s good to know. I almost had a heart attack when you called suddenly to tell me about Ai-chan and Reina being involved in an accident.”

“Nah, you’re too fit to suffer a heart attack. Besides, I know you wouldn’t bear to leave me behind.”

It took little to bring a flush to Asami’s cheeks and Makoto knew exactly what would, teasing. Sliding an arm around her shoulder and leaning her cheek in to rest on Kon Kon’s blushed ones, Makoto suggested in a mischievous manner.

“I brought back chocolate sauces, wanna play?” 


-----


“Are we trapped?”

A sense of panic rose within Sayumi as the elevator unexpectedly turned dark and inched slowly to a halt. The noise of the motors roaring died down and silence soon followed.

“I made it stop. I……I needed some time alone…….. with you.”

Surprising herself with her boldness, Eri felt a new confidence. This courage was what was needed to face Sayumi. In the darkness, Eri groped around until she felt Sayumi’s hands. Squeezing them tightly, Eri spoke slowly.

"Sayumi, you've suffered..."

Pausing and biting her lip, Eri adjusted her thoughts. Did she really just say what she said? It sounded like a line straight out of some sappy Korean drama. How did she get brainwashed into saying stuff as lame as that baffled her. It must be Risa's fault, putting whatever Korean drama DVDs she could get her hands on, on rerun mode. It was impossible for anyone dropping by her room to escape being bombarded by the latest news and happenings from the land of Kimchi. And boy did Eri hate it. She would rather amuse herself with cramped spaces. Eri decided to get straight to the point before she started sprouting even weirder lines.

"What I mean is, I know I've been acting like a jerk and I'm really sorry. Will you forgive me? I'll make it up to you."

"Oh Eririn!!"

Flinging her hands around Eri's neck, Sayumi jumped forward in happiness and knocked her down such that they were now lying on the floor of the stationary lift in a tangle of arms and legs. Giggling, Sayumi sighed contentedly and lay her head on what she assumed was Eri's shoulder. She could spent all night in this cramped and stuffy elevator as long as it was with Eri. Running her fingers up Eri's arm, Sayumi let them trace on Eri's damp skin until they reached a slight peak somewhere above the region of Eri's neck. The entire Hello Project knew the member with the best body and poutiest lips in the current Morning Musume line-up was Eri. And being her best friend, Sayumi of course knew this tasty fact. When her long slim fingers and Eri's lips made contact, the tingling sensation she felt immediately brought back to mind Eri's earlier promise.

"And how do you intend to make it up to me?"

Her voice was teasing with a slightly naughty tone. The devil in her was definitely unleashing itself. So this was what Mikitty meant by Sayumi having a dark side and wanting to see more of it.

"Umm.... I've got something."

Wriggling to free the cap of the small bottle she had tucked away all this time, Eri raised the now capless jar high in the air and tilted it. A moist substance dripped from the mouth of the glass jar and slid down the side of Sayumi's face. The trickling motion, the warm air inside the cubic structure and their damp skins made Sayumi's body temperature skyrocket and she could feel a hottness that was making her want to remove her tank top and PJ pants.

"We'll have loads of fun with this. I heard it's the tastiest one around."

Sounds of thumping echoed throughout the elevator airwell as the pair rolled around and bumped into the wall while trying to remove Eri's shirt and Sayumi's pants. It was definitely a scene that would make Miki proud. Chocolate sauce sure works wonders for bringing a turtle out of its shell.


-----


"You cry when you quarrelled, now you cry when you've made up?"

Reina threw up her hands and sighed the minute her seniors started bawling like nine month old babies. Sitting down on the floor and proping her hand under her head, she waited for their tears to run dry. She knew it would take a while. Never being able to figure out how the Gokkies could cry at the slightest change of emotions within them, she wore a bored expression as she played with her fingers. However inwardly, she was glad to see the tightly gasping hands with intertwined fingers. They were still a threesome.

(http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/8336/reina2nu2.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

*Yawn*

"Morning."

Looking up, Risa saw four glistening eyes staring back at her. Three normal and one wonky.

"Morning."

She replied, careful not to direct the breath of stale air that was bound to emerge from her mouth at Reina whose face was barely inches away.

"Don't worry bout it, I didn't brush my teeth yet either."

The guffaws of laughter combined with bad breath that hit Risa in the face told her Reina wasn't kidding. Keeping her mouth shut while waiting for Reina to continue telling what tickled her so, Risa reached her hand over the bed covers to slip her fingers in Ai's.

"While you two were still being all lovey-dovey in dreamland, Koharu-chan came over."

"Koharu? She's back so early?"

Ai asked surprised as she glance at the clock hanging on the opposite wall. It was twenty minutes after ten o'clock. Most members only arrived after noon.

"Yup. And she made a very interesting discovery."

"Go on."

Things were looking exciting and Risa wanted to be a part of it.

"To be more specific, she noticed the elevator walls smeared with a strange dark substance."

"Ah huh."

Risa gulped when her brain finally kicked in. Now she was wide awake and could guess beyond a doubt what that strange substance was.

"You know something about this don't you?"

Reina questioned with a mischievous glee when she saw Risa's panicky look.

"I uh.... kinda told Kame about this Operation Elly thingy..."

"Operation Elly?"

Turning her body fully, Ai leaned against the soft pillows on the bed. 

"Well, it's carried out in an elevator. That explains the Elly part."

"And?"
 
"That stuff's chocolate sauce. You can guess the rest."

Risa admitted glumly. Trust Eri to leave traces of her unspeakable deed behind. Turtles are so slow.

"You didn't hear the best part."

"There's more?"

Ai was incredulous and her huge doe eyes widened as Reina got increasingly fired up.

"Yeah, they had a camera installed in there yesterday afternoon."

"WHAT!??!

Risa thought she might faint from the news. This could ruin them all. What if someone found out? What if someone watched the tape?

"We gotta get that tape! We gotta tell Kame!!!"

Taking off at breakneck speed, she raced for the door and almost reached it when she got tackled to the floor. Now she could say she knew what a dusty carpet tasted like.

"Damn it Reina, that hurt!"

"Eri has herself covered."

"Huh?"

Ai scratched her head which made her hair tousled and her overall appearance extremely sexy.

"She's has a shell so she's covered, get it?"

"That's lame."

Risa shot back rolling her eyes. She was annoyed and didn't see what was so funny especially when their jobs were hanging by a thin thread.

"I like doing it when you're mad Gaki-san. I'm sure it's gonna be really good."

Walking over to Risa who was still sitting on the floor rubbing her nose, Reina squatted down in her usual yankee manner and rested her arms on Risa's shoulders. Then pulling her up, Reina somehow got Risa into a piggyback position and carried her all the way back to the bed.

"Last night was okay, but now's gonna be a blast!"

"But...but... what about Kame? And the video?"

"Shush. No one's gonna find out so soon. Help me out here Ai-chan."

Slowly surveying the scene before her, Ai's field of vision rested on Risa and Reina's outfits, or lack of one.

"We will need to discuss this with the both of them and they probably aren't even awake yet..... after that work-out last night."

Adding in that last bit as an after thought, Ai worked with Reina to convince her loyal friend.

"We'll be quick. Just a little touch-and-go."

Scooping Risa into a tight bear hug, Ai blew softly into her ear and nuzzled at her neck. Then cuddling closer towards together, she made space for Reina's petite frame. 

Reina congratulated herself mentally on her clever little scheme. Delaying an hour or so wouldn't make much of a difference.

"Yippee, it's fun-fun time!!!"


-----


"Ehhhhh Mikitty? You're early?"

Meeting Miki at the entrance of their apartment block, Aya gasped with disbelief at seeing her fellow H!P colleague and best friend. Miki was notorious for being late, to think that she was actually five minutes early today.

"I ran out of DVDs to watch."

Grumbling as she tapped her ID card at the reader, she waited for Aya to step through the automatic sliding doors before following. As they entered the lobby and walked further, Miki caught sight of a sign written in big red and white letters. The 'security room.'

"What are you doing?"

Rasing an eyebrow, Aya watched as Miki twisted at the knob of the wooden door.

"Breaking and entering. What else does it look like?"

Shaking her head, Aya decided to stay and make sure she didn't do anything too drastic or damaging.

"And how exactly does this interest you?"

"Watching the other H!P members when they don't know they are being watched could be fun."

"I didn't know you had stalker tendencies."

Leaning her hand on a nearby tabletop, Aya shook her head once more at being best friends with such a flippant character.

"Hey, did you know they installed a camera in the elevator?"

Jabbing at the eject button, Miki slid the tape out of the recorder in the master player.

"Don't know and don't care. Are you done yet, my bag's getting heavy."

"I'll enjoy this all by myself later and you won't be a part of it."

Sticking her chin out at an impatient looking Aya, Miki jiggled the tape in her face.

"Whatever. If I can fall asleep through supposedly good movies, I can't see how this will be any better. Probably just images of people pressing lift buttons."

As the two parted ways in the hallway outside their room doors, Miki dumped her bag on a chair and proceeded to slot the newly aquired, through illegal means no less, object into her dusty video player. After ages of collecting blankets of dust from the lack of use, the machine greedily swallowed the tape and rolled its contents.

After some minutes of the company's workers jabbing buttons like Aya had so accurately predicted, Miki was beginning to get bored. However, determined to not let the agency's most successful soloist get her way, Miki swore to view the tape till the end. Another fifteen minutes passed by before Miki saw two familiar figures appear on the screen. It was dark but from their outlines, it was pretty obvious who they were.

Goody-two-shoes Eri jamming the lift? That's news.
S**t, what are they doing?
D*mn those two have great bod...NO Miki shut the hell up. You're with Aya.

*Knock knock*

"Mikitty, do you want to go to the cafe for a cuppa?"

Aya's voice behind the door floated into her ears but Miki couldn't concentrate on anything else besides getting to know her juniors better. How could she have missed such good specimens that were right in front of her face all along? The Fujimoto ain't going to make the same mistake twice, no she isn't. Making a mental note to give Eri a nice hard wedgie the next time she sees her, Miki went back to watching the tape, completely forgetting about Aya still yelling outside.

Wow, Sayumi, wow....

Finally starting to talk but breaking off before the sentence was complete, Eri struggled to find the words.

“Come with me?”
Is that spelled correctly?  :twisted:

I kid, I kid. :rofl:


Quote
Watching Eri’s familiar back and letting her best friend pull her along through the seemingly endless corridors, Sayumi smiled to herself. She could feel the slightly cold early morning air brush against her cheeks as their pace quickened. The two rows of small lights fitted in the walls a few inches off the floor transformed their path into a mystical route. She could immediately imagine this as the trail that would lead them to an enchanted castle. Even if it didn’t, Sayumi knew in her heart she would follow Eri anywhere.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW~!  :mon cute:

“So this is it? You're breaking up with me? I should have known a threesome would never work."

...

"Who said anything about breaking up?"

"Really? Then why am I always being left out. It's like you don't need me, don't want me, around."

"Did it look to you like we're having all the fun? Cuz we aren't. Things don't reach fun, fun without you Gaki-san."
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO there's no breakup! The three of them are gonna continue their threesome dating thing!  :w00t:

...

Wait a sec...threesome?  :O

...

Threesome. :?

...

THREESOME!!! :pimp:

"It's true, Ai-chan can't keep things up by herself."
Oh ZING! :lol:


Quote
It took little to bring a flush to Asami’s cheeks and Makoto knew exactly what would, teasing. Sliding an arm around her shoulder and leaning her cheek in to rest on Kon Kon’s blushed ones, Makoto suggested in a mischievous manner.

“I brought back chocolate sauces, wanna play?” 
Bring on the chocolate! :rockon:


Quote
“Are we trapped?”

A sense of panic rose within Sayumi as the elevator unexpectedly turned dark and inched slowly to a halt. The noise of the motors roaring died down and silence soon followed.

“I made it stop. I……I needed some time alone…….. with you.”
Ah, Eri and her thing for small spaces.  :mon sweat:


Quote
"And how do you intend to make it up to me?"

Her voice was teasing with a slightly naughty tone. The devil in her was definitely unleashing itself. So this was what Mikitty meant by Sayumi having a dark side and wanting to see more of it.
Miki-sama knows!  :twisted:


Quote
"Morning."

Looking up, Risa saw four glistening eyes staring back at her. Three normal and one wonky.
:wahaha: :wahaha: :wahaha: :hiakhiakhiak:


Quote
"You know something about this don't you?"

Reina questioned with a mischievous glee when she saw Risa's panicky look.

"I uh.... kinda told Kame about this Operation Elly thingy..."

"Operation Elly?"

Turning her body fully, Ai leaned against the soft pillows on the bed.

"Well, it's carried out in an elevator. That explains the Elly part."

"And?"
 
"That stuff's chocolate sauce. You can guess the rest."

Risa admitted glumly. Trust Eri to leave traces of her unspeakable deed behind. Turtles are so slow.

"You didn't hear the best part."

"There's more?"

Ai was incredulous and her huge doe eyes widened as Reina got increasingly fired up.

"Yeah, they had a camera installed in there yesterday afternoon."
SCORE!!!  :on lol: :rockon:


Quote
"We gotta get that tape! We gotta tell Kame!!!"

Taking off at breakneck speed, she raced for the door and almost reached it when she got tackled to the floor. Now she could say she knew what a dusty carpet tasted like.

"Damn it Reina, that hurt!"

"Eri has herself covered."

"Huh?"

Ai scratched her head which made her hair tousled and her overall appearance extremely sexy.

"She's has a shell so she's covered, get it?"

"That's lame."

"I like doing it when you're mad Gaki-san. I'm sure it's gonna be really good."

...

"Last night was okay, but now's gonna be a blast!"

"But...but... what about Kame? And the video?"

...

"We'll be quick. Just a little touch-and-go."

...

"Yippee, it's fun-fun time!!!"
Wow, they really DID miss Risa, didn't they?  :oops:


Quote
Meeting Miki at the entrance of their apartment block, Aya gasped with disbelief at seeing her fellow H!P colleague and best friend. Miki was notorious for being late, to think that she was actually five minutes early today.

"I ran out of DVDs to watch."

Grumbling as she tapped her ID card at the reader, she waited for Aya to step through the automatic sliding doors before following. As they entered the lobby and walked further, Miki caught sight of a sign written in big red and white letters. The 'security room.'

...

"Watching the other H!P members when they don't know they are being watched could be fun."

"I didn't know you had stalker tendencies."
Of course Miki-sama has to be the one to get the tape. If anyone can "appreciate" it...it's Miki-sama.  :roll: 8)


Quote
"I'll enjoy this all by myself later and you won't be a part of it."

Sticking her chin out at an impatient looking Aya, Miki jiggled the tape in her face.

"Whatever. If I can fall asleep through supposedly good movies, I can't see how this will be any better. Probably just images of people pressing lift buttons."
Dear Aya-chhan, if you only knew. ;D


Quote
The Fujimoto ain't going to make the same mistake twice, no she isn't. Making a mental note to give Eri a nice hard wedgie the next time she sees her, Miki went back to watching the tape, completely forgetting about Aya still yelling outside.
I love the way she's thinking about herself in the 3rd person while she's being all voyeuristic. That's damn cute...and hot.  :drool:

Also, Eri and Sayu's antics acutally impressed Miki...that's no small feat in and of itself.  :lol:



EDIT: Aw it's over? Oh well, it's been a terrific run! Thanks for all the fun we've had with this lil_hamz! :thumbsup

Wow. Just Wow. I re-read it all today xD Turtle Sundae FTW!!!!!!!!!! And the threesome is a trademark JPHiP moment xD The entire story was amazing, and I congratulate you on finishing! I truly hope you write lots more in the future, as this fic kicked ass, but maybe something like OTN's doing (except not that many sequels....)?

No, Thank you, lil hamz, for a kickass fic. Horray for happy endings.  :grin:

Sorry for the late reply, but YESSS! The ReinaGakiAi threesome lives on. :hee:

Quote
...Miki couldn't concentrate on anything else besides getting to know her juniors better.
:lol: oh, Miki. Though a MikiEriSayu threesome wouldn't be bad at all.  :yep:

BTW, I couldn't help but imagine a SayuMiki pairing with the line:

So this was what Mikitty meant by Sayumi having a dark side and wanting to see more of it.

If you're writing a new fic, let me know!  :D

Eep!  So sorry for reading the last chapter so late!   :kneelbow:  I haven't been around as much as I would have liked...that and I'm one of the weird people that like to hold off reading the last chapter just cause I don't want a story that I absolutely adore to end!  *like putting a book in the fridge*  :sweat: 

But anyways the last chapter was all kinds of awesome!  It was sooo sweet!!  I love it  :shy1:  My favourite part of course is of SayuEri and well you know  XD  and the miki part at the end is just too funny.  I think the ending was great!  *huggles hammy san*

I'm gonna bump this baby once again ;)
I remembered reading this ages ago but couldn't actually remember what happen so that means I just HAD to read it again, and when doing so, it all~ came back to me! :heart:
It was incredibly enjoyable coz it was so damn cutesy, even the angst was sooo sweet :mon inluv:
I love how you use the only true way to get around a love triangle... Make a threesome out of it XD
You've grown so much as a writer too, you can see it through this fic and over amongst ur many one-shot/shorter stories thread, you keep on improving and it's amazing... YAY! The real winners in this are us, the readers, so even better :D
I could praise you more but I have to save something for later :lol:

A question though, do you ever get freaked out when ur in a taxi or do you avoid them at all costs? :P
Title: Re: The Lines Are Blurred ... [completed]
Post by: lil_hamz on September 16, 2008, 08:41:38 AM
LOL, no I don't get freaked out by cabs. In fact, I'd take one over getting squashed on the bus or train any day :lol: I usually end up putting the girls in a taxi since it seems like the most common way for them to get around.

You don't know how happy I am to hear you say I've improved :hip aww: I always feel that I'm not that good as a writer. So seeing your comment makes me all warm and fuzzy inside :mon cute: THANK YOU SO MUCH lollipopgirl :kneelbow:
