Chapter 8
Miya sat down on one of the sofa's and sighed in relief. She was in one of the communal rooms in UFA, it had been her first day back after the break and Miya was glad that it was nearly over, its not that she wasn't happy to be back but Miya all ways seemed to find it hard to get back into a working ethic, with a sigh she completely relaxed herself into the sofa.
“Well that's hardly a ladylike position”
“Miya smiled at what the girl had said “And you would know all about being a 'lady' with your boys haircut would you?”
Laughing the girl replied “It's good to see you Miya”
“You too Maimi, you too”
Not everybody thought that Miya and Maimi were good friends but, they were. A few years ago those people who thought that the were not very close would have been right, it was a chance meeting between the two that would change the level of the friendship to what it is today.
*flashback*
Miya could hear the sound of crying coming from inside the room, she had no idea who it was but the person inside was obviously in some distress so Miya decided to go check on who it was
“Hello?” Miya said tentatively as she opened the door
“M-Miya?” came the reply from the tearful girl, surprised with Miya's entrance to the room
Miya recognised the voice right away “Maimi! What's the matter?”
“Oh Miya!” Maimi wailed running over and hugging Miya and crying into her shoulder “It's awful what will I do?”
“What's awful?” Miya asked slightly startled by Maimi's reaction
“I-I like Airi” Maimi said still crying into Miya's shoulder
“Well I like Airi too” Miya replied confused “I know she can be a bit hyper at times but.....”
“No! I mean I really like Airi” Maimi said emphasising what she meant.
“Oh.....OH!” Miya said after finally catching on “Why is that bad?” she asked
“Because she's a girl and an Idol and it's all wrong!” Maimi said as more tears fell onto Miya's shoulders
“Well that's O.K. because you're a boy anyway” Miya joked trying to lighten the mood, Maimi chocked out a laugh through the tears “You laughed Maimi, it can't be that bad” she continued poking Maimi in the cheek.
Maimi was still upset however and did not appreciate Miya trying to lighten the mood, she pulled out of her hug with Miya “I don't even know why I'm telling you Miya” she said angrily, we're not even really good friends so don't bother butting into my business” she said angrily before heading towards the door.
“I like girls too” Maimi paused, her hand resting on the handle of the door “In fact I think I may even be falling in love, with Saki” Miya said quietly, on the verge of tears showing how hard it had been for her to say that to Maimi
“Miya” Maimi's anger had disappeared at her friends confession and she ran over and gave Miya a hug.
Hugging her back Miya said “It's O.K. To like girls Maimi, and its not like you're the only one, the idol thing is something we have to live with, we made that choice long ago, yes I do worry what would happen if I did end up dating and was discovered but if I loved the person I was with, and they loved me I could make it through, no matter what happened, as for the moment, Maimi, I am here for you”
“Thank you Miya” was all that Maimi said back, it was all she needed to say.
*flashback ends*
Ever since that day they had become much closer as friends, helping each other through the hard times but also the good times and soon they were able to talk to each other about pretty much anything.
“So, how's your Saki-Waki then?” Maimi asked smiling
“Saki-Waki?” Miya asked horrified at what Maimi had called her Captain “Don't call her that it's weird!”
“Aww is that because it's her pet name that only you can call her?” Maimi asked laughing
“Shut up! I don't have a pet name for Saki and if you are interested in not teasing me for five minuets, I think things are going a bit better”
“Really?” Maimi asked becoming excited “Are you gonna ask her out?”
“Maybe....soon” Miya said smiling sheepishly
“I'm really happy for you Miya” Maimi said hugging Miya
“Thanks” Miya replied happily “So, how's your under-age love affair going?”
Maimi went bright red “She's not under-age she's sixteen, and I wouldn't do anything if she didn't want to do it, besides I'm only eighteen it's not as though I'm old.”
Miya laughed at what Maimi had said “Joking, joking” she said “but seriously any progress?”
Maimi sighed “Not really Miya, I just can't seem to tell...”
“Miya!, Maimi!”
“Airi” Miya said recovering first from the kappa interrupting them “How have you been?”
“Miya!” Airi said running over and hugging Miya tightly “I'm glad you're O.K., I was really worried about you!”
“I wasn't dying Airi!” Miya said patting the top of Airi's head “But thanks for caring”
“I sent you texts every day” Airi said still wanting to show how concerned she was for Miya
“More like every five minuets” Miya replied laughing
“Err, I hate to interrupt “ Maimi said, trying to keep any trace of jealousy out of her voice
“Maimi, don't worry I hadn't forgotten about you” Airi said running over and hugging Maimi who immediately started blushing, Miya just smirked.
“I hate to break this little love in up, but I do need my band-mate back”
“Saki?” Miya asked confused before realisation hit her “Oh crap!, singing practice!”
“Yes, oh crap indeed” Saki replied smiling at Miya and grabbing hold of her hand “come on lets go”
“O.K” Miya said trying not to blush but failing “By the way Maimi, I would hurry up and get on with what you were stalling over, you don't want to leave it too late!” Miya ran off down the corridor with Saki
“Hey Maimi, what was Miya talking about?” Airi asked as she waved goodbye to the two berryz members
“Oh nothing, just some stuff to do with banking” Maimi lied, she knew full well what Miya was talking about
Airi nodded her head in acceptance “It's good you and Miya are such good fiends” she said
“Why?” Maimi asked, interested as to why Airi should bring up her friendship with Miya now
“Well it's just that you two are two of the most important people in my life and it's nice to see that you are also close. It makes me happy to see the people I care about like each other as well”
“Yeah we get on well, she was really there for me at a tough time in my life” Maimi replied
“Tough time?” Airi asked looking worried.
Maimi smiled at the younger girl “Don't worry about it, one day I will tell you what it was all about but not just yet”
Airi seemed comforted by what Maimi had said “Well as long as you're O.K. Now” she said holding onto Maimi's arm “Now....take me fore cakes!”
Maimi laughed at the younger girls impudence “How can I refuse a demand like that?”
“You can't” Airi replied giggling “I'm irresistible”
“Yes you are” Maimi said quietly to herself
“Pardon?” Airi asked thinking that Maimi was speaking to her
“Nothing Airi, come on, lets go”
