GS 17 @Shiichan: LOL, that was one big reaction
You could even rival Risa's, I think.
@KK: Oh no, I can't let anything happen to you. So does that mean Gaki lives?
@SBK: Do you consider that a proposal? Kinda bad huh with no flowers and gimmicks
@ringo-hime: Wahhhhh all those adorable peaches. They are momo(s)...right? So cute. Me likey
@Sukoshi-chan: *imagines rolling you down a hill* Tee hee, that's funny. I like the colors you used. Kept me mesmerized for some minutes. Copy and paste x 2?? Gosh, you are so hilariously cute. And about that equation. Did I tell you I'm bad at Math? So maybe I don't understand that too well
@stefy: No...*lies* That's not true at all
@.Mikoto: Really? My fic can evoke so many feelings in you? Wow, that makes me really happy
@Hotaru-chan: Yay, another comment with the cute wriggly thingies
@kRisZ: *Gasps* I didn't know having a preggers Sayu would put anyone off a fic
So sorry about that. Glad you decided to continue reading.
@JFC: Nope, Sayu and Reina's parents don't know each other but Reina has met (and disliked) Sayu's parents
@Kuji: A fellow TakaGaki fan!! *hugs* I'm a fan of your writing btw. Do keep updating so I can satisfy my Ai x Risa cravings. Oh and thank you so much for the extrremely detailed review of GA. I enjoyed reading every word
GA 8 @ringo-hime: I agree that Risa should not remember if all those memories bring is pain
@KK: Any new updates for ya fic in the horizon? I NEED a new chapter
<--- Me when seeing no updates.
@JFC: Interesting excuse to explain Reina's abscene. Though it just might work
@Shiichan: You're right about having plenty of possibilities. I'm still deciding on which course to take
@Fenrir: Are you sure its only a triangle
@Sukoshi-chan: I keep forgetting to watch Virgin Snow. Is it any good? More importantly, will it make me lose H2O? The scene with Ai x Eri and Reina in the plane are happening simultaneously. Don't worry, Reina will make it. No one dies on this flight
Sayu's speech is getting better that's why I didn't have her stutter in the later part of that section. Can't have her talking funny forever right.
@Kuji: That's nothing to be sorry for. Your review/non-review was awesome! I loved it
I did consider having Risa finding out about Ai from the internet but man, that would be a horrible way to discover her past no?
@SBK: I want TakaGaki too.. BUT... I'm not giving away any more
@kRisZ: What's gonna happen when Reina comes back? And will TakaGaki ever reunite?? *says this in a trailer-like voice* That was fun to do
Midnight 1 @Sukoshi-chan: First commenter! It's been ages since you got to be the one. I'll take that you liked this chapter. Hopefully I won't disappoint you after your amazing comment. LOL at your reply to Kuji. I'm sure you are bokoboke if you have sliding doors bullying you and all. Just include the jacket falling into the toilet bowl bit and you're all set for advanced levels of BKBK
@SBK: Ah har! You see, Gaki doesn't know Sayu is from the enemy clan. And being the devious bunny she is, Sayu intends to keep it that way
@ringo-hime: The other knight will be revealed in the next chapter
@JFC: Can you imagine GakiShige? I hope so
@Fenrir: Oh I don't think there will be that many triangles in this fic
@Shiichan: Nah, don't put yourself down. Do you want me to head over to your place and tell it to you in person?
You write incredible fics!
@Kuji: Your comment sure had me thinking all sorts of things too! In fact there are some stuff I never thought of and you did
I might use something. Lemme think this through again.

The Only Way The usually busy road was vastly different from its usual state. There were no joyous children playing on the sidewalk or barking dogs running in circles around their owners. Every single resident living within this block were hiding in their houses, quaking behind locked doors as they waited with batted breath for the unraveling of the scene taking place in the late afternoon of this warm summer day.
An armed man had butchered several people in cold blood inside a coffee joint prior to hijacking an ambulance. Out on routine patrol, they were the first to chance upon the stolen vehicle currently parked on the lane they were standing on. The two had called for back up but reinforcements had not yet arrive. Crouching behind a large tree, they trained their pistols on the van ready to shoot should the crazed murderer make a move.
Unexpectently, a gun shot rang out, startling a flock of birds which had settled in a nearby tree. Resting their forefingers on the curved trigger of their respective weapons, the pair inched closer apprehensively until they reached the back of the red and white vehicle. The taller of the two grasped at the handle of the panel doors with trembling hands and readied herself. Pausing for a moment, she casted her partner a long look, indicating her to go ahead and fire should the need arise.
On three. Mentally counting down the seconds in their minds, the pair worked seamlessly together.
"THREE!"
The double doors were burst wide open and in that instant, Risa cocked her revolver and squeezed the trigger, almost releasing a lethal cartridge from its cylinder until she realized the criminal was dead and lifeless. He had taken his own life with a shot to his mouth. The ambulance driver lay motionless near his feet, presumably killed some time ago. Exchanging glances, the girls grinned at each other, heaving relieved signs that neither of them was hurt in the handling of this case.
Suddenly, a faint ticking sound was emitted from the far corner of the van. Climbing into the vehicle, Risa flipped open the blanket obscuring a small bulk. Her worst fears were realized when the unmistakable red figures of a digital clock stared back at her, revealing the numbers of 4 and 58. There was barely 5 minutes left before the bomb would detonate, obliterating anyone and anything within close range.
Considering her options, Risa jumped out of the back portion of the ambulance, pulling her partner along behind her. Slamming the doors shut again, she dashed around the side of the vehicle, tugged open hastily the entry to the driver's seat and slid inside. Extending her arm to press down the lock in the passenger door, she ignored her colleague's pleas to let her in. Gunning the engine and flooring the accelerator, she sped the vehicle down the street, heading towards the nearest empty clearing.
Beads of sweat trickled down Risa's temple and dripped from the edge of her jaw as the seconds flew past. Stealing periodic glimpses at the man-made bomb, she prayed that she would make it in time.
2:15 Feeling the recurring vibrations of her cell phone in her jeans pocket, Risa fished the device out with one hand, keeping the other firmly gripped on the steering wheel. She initiated the speaker function on the gadget before letting it clatter about on the dashboard.
“Why is it always you?! Why do you have to do this?!”
Eri’s voice cried out over the connection, visibly distraught and shaken. Keeping her eyes on the road flashing past, Risa yelled back.
“Do you know what you are Kame?”
“Don’t do this Risa. Get out of there, PLEASE!”
0:43 Hardening her heart and disregarding Eri’s sobs, Risa concentrated on weaving the ambulance through the rush hour traffic.
“You are what keeps me grounded, you are the reason I look forward to each day.”
“Risa! Gaki-san! Listen to me!”
Making a sharp turn into an abandoned estate, the twenty year old raced the ambulance in the direction of vacant land.
“Kame if I don’t make it, know that you mean everything to me.”
0:00 BOOM (Sorry for the bad sound effect
)
-----
“Gaki-san? Risa? RISA!!!”
Dropping her phone onto the pavement with a thud, Eri took off in a heartbeat, running to the venue she knew Risa would drive the vehicle. There was a deserted wasteland in this area and it was the perfect place to leave the hazardous threat.
You can’t leave me behind. You can’t! Her breathing pounded in her ears and her chest ached from the prolonged sprinting but Eri didn’t care. All she could think of was Risa’s safety and the overwhelming need to see her again. She had to know for sure that she was alright.
Rounding the final bend where the wasteland stood, Eri noticed the person she had secretly loved but didn’t dare acknowledge dragging her right leg as she limped with difficulty away from the explosion of massive orange flames.
“Oh god, Risa!”
Catching Risa in her arms when the older girl fell forward, Eri cradled her tightly, lifting one hand to caress her cheek stained with dirt and grime.
“You’re injured.”
Wrapping her fingers around Eri’s wrist cupping her face, Risa smiled at her reassuringly, comforting the shivering turtle despite the pain coursing through her leg and the throbbing hammering at her head.
“Better me than you.”
Seeing the crimson blood streaked across Risa’s face, Eri started crying, her sobbing becoming louder and more incessant.
“Why must you always put yourself at risk? Stop making me worry for you!”
This wasn't the first time Risa had gone off and faced the eminent danger on her own while leaving Eri behind. Although her actions might seem as if she was trying to claim exclusive credit for solving a case successfully, that had never been Risa's intention. Excluding Eri and keeping her out of harm's way was the only manner by which she knew how to display her deep affections for Kamei. Leaning her head against Eri’s chest and closing her eyes with exhaustion, Risa replied.
“Because I can't let you get hurt. Promise me Kame, don't ever stop me from protecting you.”
The sirens from a couple of police cars emerged in the distance and Eri knew help would arrive soon. Planting a gentle kiss on Risa’s broken lip, Eri whispered.
“Gaki-san…I love you too.”
