But FINALLY!
PART 18 COMING UP!
THE REAL END!
SERIOUSLY THIS TIME
...I APPARENTLY LIKE CAPS LOCK!
Oh girl, you so crazy.
Anyway, I *am* working on the sequel. The Prologue and Part 1 are done. The Prologue is actually a scene from later in the storyline and then Part 1 picks up where memoir leaves off.
Make it a story where Maki looks for rabu-rabu! Make it so she falls for Nacchi (and vice versa)!
"What are you doing here?" Yossi demanded, striding over to Miki.
"I know I'm a late, but I messaged you about that last night," the confused girl replied.
"My phone died."
"What!?" Miki paled. "When?"
"Right after your charming little 'Trust me' message a few days ago," Yossi spat out. "One more mindfuck for the road, huh?"
"Wait, so you haven't gotten any..." Miki's eyes widened and she covered her open mouth with a shaking hand. "Yocchan, I - "
"Don't 'Yocchan' me. Get the hell out of my apartment."
This is the point where Miki needs to maintain her resolve. She now knows that Yossi didn't get the message she was supposed to get, therefore she doesn't know all of the details she needs to. Above all else, Miki needs to get Yossi to just listen to her and let her explain everything.
"No, no, it's not what you think!"
"Oh! So you weren't exposed in a national magazine for sleeping with a two-bit comedian?"
Ouch. Mind you, that IS how it was meant to be portrayed.
"No, you need to listen to me," Miki asserted calmly.
"Why? So you can lie to me some more? 'Trust me' my ass." Yossi shook her head. "I can't believe I had actually fallen in love with you," she muttered. Miki's eyes widened.
"What did you just say?" she whispered.
"I freaking love you, ok?" Yossi yelled. "Does that make this more fun for you or do you actually feel bad now?" she demanded angrily. Miki was elated and horrified and didn't know what to do anymore.
Did Yossi just tell Miki?
...
Whoa, Yossi just told Miki...
...
I tried to trust you! I tried to say 'No, not Miki. She wouldn't do that to me. It's a mistake. The article lied!'" Yossi shook her head in disgust. "And then you admitted it! You ADMITTED it, Miki! How stupid are you?! You were free and clear and you admitted it! Did you feel guilty? Do you really think so much of yourself that you thought that no one would care?! What were you THINKING!? How could you DO THIS TO ME!?!" The blatant pain and anger etched across Yossi's normally calm features cut through Miki like a knife.
If only Yossi knew, that was part of the plan all along. When Miki and Mako formulated the plan, they must have know that it was possible that the company would be able to deny the pics, in which case they would need a "Plan B". That opportunity presented itself easily enough with Miki being on YanDo every week. Her goal was to get kicked out of the group, and nothing would/could ensure that better than if she admitted it herself on the air.
"You need to listen to me!" Miki protested.
"I think I've listened to your crap enough for one lifetime, Fujimoto!" Yossi raged, stalking over to her front door. "I want you to get the hell out of my apartment, do you understand!? Do not ever come back here again! Don't call me, don't mail me. don't-"
Man, we thought Maki was upset by all this, it's nothing compared to what Yossi's feeling now. The feeling of shock, betrayal, and just plain pain... Miki was the first girl that Yossi every really gave herself to (in more ways than one). This was the girl that held that most special place in her heart, and obviously, deep inside she hoped it was the same for Miki. Seeing that article, meant everything that Yossi had done for this relationship was for nought, because if Miki really did what the article said she did...then she didn't really love Yossi the way Yossi loved her. To look at Miki now just reminds Yossi of what she gave to her/for her, how it all got thrown back in her face, and it's just more pain than she can bear right now. She's been bombarded with a tremendous bombshell, and she's closing herself off from everything. She doesn't want to see, talk to, or deal with anything or anyone, particularly Miki.
"I Friday'd myself, Yossi!" Miki screamed over the angry woman. Yossi dropped her grip on the doorknob and stared at Miki in disbelief.
"You WHAT?!" Yossi bellowed, her face turning red. "Have you lost your everloving mind!?"
Well, that got Yossi's attention.
"I couldn't let them get away with it!" Miki yelled back, her angry eyes dancing wildly. "They think they own us! They think they can tell me who to see and how to feel! They think they can keep me from the woman I love! But they're wrong!" Yossi stared at Miki in confusion.
Yossi shouldn't be that surprised, when you think about it. If anyone in H!P was going to fight back against something like this, it's Miki.
Yossi walked over to Miki and took hold of her hands. She looked straight into the smaller girl's eyes, searching them for answers. "I want to believe you, Miki. I really do. So, I need you to be honest with me. Either way, just... just tell me, ok?" Miki nodded. "Did... did you..." Yoshizawa struggled to get the offensive words out. "Did you have sex with Tomoharu Shouji?"
"I've never been with anyone but you," Miki said quietly, staring deep into Yossi's eyes.
"So... so, you really and truly didn't... I mean, it was all fake?"
"The entire article was a steaming pile of crap," Miki replied matter-of-factly.
Article =
Yossi started laughing, nearly beside herself with relief. She cupped Miki's face in her hands and stared into her beloved's face.
"I've never been so ridiculously happy in my entire life," she grinned, leaning in for a kiss. "...wait," she said suddenly, stopping just short of poor Miki's waiting lips. Yossi pulled back and looked thoughtful. "What did you say?"
"Uh, 'steaming pile of -'"
"No, before that. When you were yelling." A small smile started to spread across Yossi's face. Miki looked confused.
"Uh... I couldn't let them get away with it?"
"After that."
See Miki, Yossi WAS listening to what you were saying.
"Uh... uh... They think they own us... can tell me how to feel... keep me from the woman I... oh shit." Miki stared up at Yossi in alarm. The small smile was now a full-blown Pimp Yossi smirk.
Point...Yossi!
"Is, uh, there something you'd like to confess?" Yossi asked innocently. Miki smacked her on the arm and plopped down on the younger girl's couch.
"Yes. You suck."
"I know, but you like that," Yossi said with a grin as she sat next to Miki.
Hot dayum!
Half the damn world knows already," Miki muttered.
"Excuse me?"
Miki sighed heavily. "Aya, Makoto, Eri, Ai, Gaki... I think I accidentally confessed to everyone who happened to be in the UFA cafeteria the yesterday."
"Wait, you told the turtle before me!?" Yossi looked offended.
Miki =
Yossi =
"I didn't tell her anything," Miki retorted. "She guessed."
"Well, I'm not much for guessing, so..." she looked at Miki expectantly.
"I can't do it now!" Miki exclaimed, turning pink. "You're staring at me and it's embarrassing!" She playfully shoved Yossi away from her. "How the hell do you make me act like this? Damn!"
"Hey! You owe me one now!"
"Like hell I do! What was yours supposed to be? You angrily screamed it at me. It doesn't count." Miki crossed her arms over her chest.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww...Yossi just loves making Miki uncomfortable like this. She gets so cute as she tries to weasel her way out of it.
More importantly, she wants to hear Miki say it again. She likes hearing it.
What about the other members?"
"I talked it over with Ai and Gaki before I did it. Makoto knew too."
"Of course she did," Yossi sighed. "Who else knows half of the comedians in Tokyo."
I love Yossi's reaction when she hears Mako was involved...."Of course".
It just fits and makes absolute sense, doesn't it?
"I just... I guess I just can't fathom doing something like this." Miki gently caressed Yossi's face, her eyes studying the familiar features before her.
"I'm just way more selfish than you are," she replied softly before leaning in and gently kissing those tempting lips.
"Miki," Yossi murmured, pulling back after a moment. Their eyes met. "I love you." Miki's heart pounded loudly in her ears.
"I've been in love with you for so long, I don't even remember what it's like not to be," the smaller girl replied.
"Are you trying to one-up me?" Yossi asked with a smile.
"Always."
Point...Miki.
And of course....
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
Yoshizawa Hitomi slowly opened her eyes. The smaller woman in her arms stirred and rolled over to face her.
"I love you, Yocchan," Miki said sleepily.
"Good morning to you, too," Yossi replied with a smile.
"It's not my fault," Miki replied with a yawn. "I kept it in so long, the words just pop out of their own free will now."
Hey, it's not such a bad thing that it does that, ne?
"Miki, how did we end up like this?" Yossi asked with a far off look in her eyes.
"Well, first you threw me over your shoulder and marched us in here, and then you - "
Nice going Yossi!
"No one's supposed to read it, my darling dumbass."
It's a good thing Miki's head over heels for Yossi. Anyone else who said that would get such an ass-whuppin.
She pressed her tiny frame against Yossi's body. "Now... what closet do I have to lock us into to get some action around here?"
Yossi's reply: "Who needs a closet?"
God, I'm such a sap for happy endings (especially if Miki's in it).
...
MANAMIN! DON'T GIVE THINGS AWAY!
I didn't! xD Giving things away would be like leaking the original Miki-talks-to-Risa-and-Ai conversation. Which is in my IM logs! And - oops! It's pasting itself!!
"Don't tell me! You two are - !"
"No no no no no!" Risa protested quickly. "Makoto told us!"
"That girl gets around," I muttered.
"Yeah, no kidding. She's managed to bag...what? Six?"
"Seven, I think," Risa replied.
"Oh, right, I was forgetting Sayu. Yeah, seven Morning members alone." Um.
"...wait, WHAT!? Makoto!? OGAWA Makoto!? Ogawa "old lady" Makoto?"
"She can be surprisingly persuasive," Ai said uncomfortably. I started laughing hysterically at the mental images accosting my brain.
"Uh, Fujimoto?" Risa ventured.
"Sorry, I just... mental image, sorry," I wiped away the tears that had sprung to my eyes.
"So, you and Yoshizawa are leaving together?" Risa asked, trying to get us back on topic.
*dashes off*
OMGASS IT PASTED ITSELF!!!
