Title: memoir [The End - 08/15]
Post by: almond on July 10, 2007, 12:45:07 PM
Hello! This is my first H!P fic and I feel hardcore dorky about it. There's not much filler here, just the key scenes throughout the years to draw the storyline together. I tried to stay fairly true-to-life, but I had to bend a few facts - most notably that I'm pretty sure the 4th gen semi-finals weren't all held in Tokyo like later auditions. I just rewatched the 4th gen auditions and the semi-finals WERE held in Tokyo. XD
I just halfassedly titled it "memoir", but I think that makes it sound way more serious than it is.
Anyway, I hope you all like it and please do comment. I'm posting part 1 now and should be posting 2 when I get home from work. There are 5 parts as of now, with a possible second storyline coming. There are currently 35 parts written, 35 posted, and I'm still writing the second storyline segment. the fic is complete and sitting on my hard drive! I'm working on the sequel.
Enjoy!!

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

1

Honestly, I'm still not sure how I ended up like that. I know the basics, but then it gets a bit fuzzy until the end. Which is to be expected I guess, considering how long it's been. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

I was just a 14-year-old kid with her head full of big idol dreams.

She was... yeah, I guess she was 15 already. We were both there for the same reason. In the bizarre ritual we found ourselves entangled in, we were rivals who might end up on the same team. I'm speaking of course of my audition.

I do remember that I was looking for the restroom when I ended up there. I wanted to make sure my hair wasn't trying to do that weird flying into the heavens thing it liked to do. I turned into what I thought was the hallway to the restrooms and ended up at a dead end near what seemed to be a storage closet. I started to turn around when I heard a large crash from said closet followed by cursing.

"Uh... excuse me? Are you all right?" I called at the door. There was silence for a moment.

"Actually, I could probably use a hand," an embarrassed voice replied from inside. I opened the door to find a her pinned under a pile of boxes. Lucky for her they were mostly empty.

"What the hell happened to you?" I exclaimed before I could help myself. She laughed.

"I was a bit upset that I didn't make the finals, so I came in here to cool off a bit," she explained as I stepped further inside to help her up. Her explanation surprised me. She had caught my eye earlier when I overheard her practicing her audition song. She had a strong voice and was quite frankly gorgeous. I thought she was a shoe-in for the finals.

"And then you, what, punched the shelving unit?" I asked as I picked a box up and placed it back on the shelf. Another laugh.

"Not exactly. The door in here latches itself and I couldn't get out." I started laughing.

"So you just wanted out of the closet and decided to, what, climb the shelves to freedom?" I managed to get out. She swatted at me as best she could considering she was still quite trapped.

"Well, what would you do if that door shut and you... uh..." she trailed off as she realized the door in question was quite firmly shut again. I turned around.

"...well, shit," I said eloquently.


Like I said before, I'm a bit fuzzy on the details. I remember us talking as we waited for rescue. She talked about not giving up and how she'd just keep auditioning until she succeeded. I talked about how my mom would probably worry if I missed my train.

I remember thinking I heard someone outside and going to pound on the door. And when I went to sit back down, I must have tripped on something because I found myself sprawled on top of her.

I know, how cliche can you get.

Then I remember lips and arms and hands. Like I said, I'm not really sure how I ended up like that. I don't even know who leaned in first.

I'd love to say it was romantic and wonderful and destiny aligned and all of that, but I don't lie much.

It was messy and sloppy and chaotic. Noses rammed into each other and hands roamed like they were confused. I think I might have accidentally bit her lip at one point. It was painfully obvious that neither of us was very good at this.

After what was apparently several minutes, but felt like a few hours and a few seconds all at once, we suddenly broke apart in unison and just stared at one another. I remember being alarmed, confused, and blushing uncontrollably. She broke eye contact and stared at her hands.

"Um." Just as I began to talk, the door finally opened and an elderly janitor stared at us in shock.

"FINALLY," she said a bit too loudly and all but ran out of the room.

The janitor looked at me. I looked at the janitor.

"Uh, careful, that door, um, locks behind you," I stammered out before fleeing the room.

It was only once I got home that I realized I had never asked her name. My first kiss was stolen by Morning Musume. 4th Generation Audition Participant number 511.

Great! A Miki x Yossi (??) fic?

Looking forward to it.

*comes out from lurking suddenly*

I thought it was an IshiYoshi fic at first. :(
Until I read that 'she' didn't make it to the finals.
Ayaya did join the 4th audition too though.

Not a YoMiki fan, but I like this fic! Looking forward to more.

There seems to be a lot of Ayaya and Yossui slashing going on. Well, more the want for the slashing.

*waits patiently*

Yes, youve got me. I didnt think I would but Ill read this.

Aya didn't participate in the Morning Musume audition. She only participated in the 4th Hello!Project audition which she and the members of Sheki-Dol were selected as the winners.

Anywho... XD

Decent prologue/first chapter. I can't exactly do opinions since it's still the first thing posted. All I can say is this story can be potentially great XD I do recommend line breaks since seeing everything bunched up is kinda awkward ^^;

The auditions mentioned in the chapter are for MM's 4th gen.  It's not Aya because she never auditioned to be in MM. She auditioned specifically to be a soloist.

The girl in the closet has got to be Miki. She WAS there during the 4th gen auditions but didn't make it to the finals (just like the girl in the story). The other girl (the one that finds her) is most likely Yossi (though it would be an interesting twist if it was Rika. :twisted:


I'm liking the "memoir" concept. It's like the narrator is reminiscing and we're listening to her actually tell her story.
Title: Re: memoir
Post by: Yuuyami on July 10, 2007, 08:17:23 PM
Mm, now that I think of it, yeah, Memoir concept. But this also means that we can't always trust the person's view because she might exaggerate or lie about a situation which could be proven if she was reminiscencing in media res and the story continues after her reminiscence.

Oh, I've always read that she auditioned for 4th gen, but thx for clearing it up for me.

No worries, I think a lot of people get them mixed up because they happened around the same time in 2000.

almond has given the hint. The girl who got locked up is Miki. Miki wore number 511 during the 4th gen audition.
Title: Re: memoir
Post by: Kreuz_Asakura on July 10, 2007, 11:23:52 PM
So...if the girl in the closet is Miki, that means the other one telling the story (who said have 14) must be Yossie, since she's younger than Miki, Yossie is from April (so that mean she had 14 when she was in the audition) and Miki is from February

I don't think is Rika, I think Rika is from January

Well...that's what I think  :mon sweat:

YOMIKI!!!!!!!   :luvluv1: :luvluv1: :luvluv1:

Wow! Thank you for the great response! I was excited when I saw my thread had the most recent reply, and just shocked when I saw I had 12 replies! Based on everyone's comments, I'm tweaking the later parts to fit the first one's memoir style. Like I said before, this isn't a continuous storyline, but rather little parts of a life. The next two parts in particular come more into play during the second story... arc I guess?

katatsumuri wins the prize for finding my dropped hint! I did in fact scour my hard drive for that dang footage. For those wondering, I kind of estimated when the semi-finals would have been. I knew the auditions were being reported on during the 2000 shuffles, so I just figured I'd go with Miki already having turned 15.

I'm breaking it up into line breaks more so it's easier to read. Honestly, I had not thought of that, so thanks a ton, Yuuyami! ^^

Aaaand, here's part 2. I hope it doesn't disappoint!  :oops:

--------------------------------------

2

I could say I remembered that kiss every day, but I would be lying.

I mean, really, who thinks about their first kiss ever single day of their life? You grow, you experience new things, you meet new people.

I'd be lying if I said I never thought about it, but it was more a mild curiosity that sprung up at odd times instead of a never ending quest that consumed my being.

Besides, I found myself a bit busy as it was, between my non-stop idol work, trying to keep ties strong with my family, and, well... other distractions.



"Have you met the new girl?" Maki asked me casually as we walked down the hallway.

"What new girl?" I asked, honestly confused. "Matsuura?" My companion laughed.

"No, Fujimoto. She's working as a office lady at the agency to prepare for her debut. She apparently auditioned with you guys for 4th gen."

"Really? That sounds... fun," I replied distractedly, looking around carefully.

"You're too paranoid," Maki teased.

"Two words. Ogawa. Makoto." I replied, giving Maki a look before unlocking my apartment door.

"The new girl's harmless. She idolizes you too much to do anything drastic," she replied as she walked in behind me.

"Sometimes I'm afraid she idolizes me enough to do something drastic," I sighed and shut the door, promptly dead bolting it. "It's hard to tell when she's serious and when she's joking."

"Well, she did apologize profusely and then swear not to breathe a word to anyone. That has to count for something," Goto replied as she closed the blinds.

"Yeah, I guess," I replied. "But with that video shoot, I'm worried she might get the wrong idea about me." I sunk down on my couch.

"Right. Everyone thinks you're some sort of pimp player, flittering back and forth, seducing member after member of Morning Musume." I had to laugh at Maki's dance about my living room that was apparently the "pimp flittering" she was talking about. She smiled and sat next to me. "Seriously, though, relax. Nothing's going to change. Kaorin knows. Tsunku even has some vague idea."

I started to reply when I felt strong hands begin massaging my shoulders.

"Damn, you REALLY need to relax!"

"Well, we can't all be flittering pimps," I replied lazily as her fingers worked their massaging magic.

"Who's the flittering pimp here?" I sat straight up. "What's wrong? Are you ok?" she asked in alarm. I turned to her and grabbed her wrists.

"I just realized something," I said earnestly. She looked alarmed.

"Ok, what-"

"You are completely right."

"About relaxing? Yeah, I know, it pays to be mello-"

"No!" I interrupted, shifting my weight as I turned more towards her.

"What then?"

"I AM failing at my flittering pimp job!" I deadpanned. Maki's eyes widened as she suddenly realized that I had maneuvered her onto her back on my couch... again.

"You sneaky little-" I laughed briefly before expertly claiming her lips. Haven't you heard? Practice does make perfect.

Makes it sounds like Mako's getting obssessive-compulsive disorder about Yossi. :lol:

It all comes back to that Mr. Moonlight PV, doesn't it? :P

I'm glad everyone's enjoying my little bit of psychosis!

Kreuz_Asakura - I think it's an unwritten rule that every Yossi fic has to have at least some hint of YoMaki. If not, it should be.   :grin:
JFC - I wasn't trying to make poor Mako sound too insane. :lol: She is kinda crazy, but in a harmless way. This part also took place very shortly after 5th gen joined, and Makoto kind of caught them in a compromising position, so Yossi's the paranoid one. And yes, everything comes back to that Mr. Moonlight pv. Always.  XD
Mikan - Thanks so much! I'm glad you're enjoying my crazy.

I don't know why I even brought that up. I guess I can't really tell any sort of history without mentioning my first serious relationship. I don't really like to think about it much, though. It's ironic really, the moments you want to remember blur and distort over time, and the ones you want to forget remain crystal clear.

I can still remember Makoto's face. She looked so horrified at what she had said to me. "Oh God, I'm so sorry, I thought you knew," she blurted out all at once. I continued to stare blankly at the wall. "Oh, God, oh, God, uh, um, uh, say something? Please?"

"Are you sure?" I finally said. Makoto gulped.

"Yeah, I heard them talking about it a few minutes ago. The press conference is in a few weeks. I was so sure she would have told you, since..." she trailed off. I gave a short laugh.

"Yeah, you'd think that, huh?" I glanced over and saw the expression on Makoto's face. "It's fine. I had to find out sooner or later. Better you than on live TV, right?" I sighed.

"I'm so sorry."

"I'm gonna go lie down for a while. So, if anyone needs me, I'll be... in the dressing room, I guess." I walked off without waiting for a response. I couldn't deal with Makoto and this crap right now. I closed my eyes, trying to fight back the stupid emotions that were threatening to spill over.

"YOSHIZAWA, WHAT THE HELL!?" An angry voice exclaimed. My eyes snapped open. Shit. Fujimoto. A pissed off Fujimoto. A... nearly flattened against the wall, pissed off Fujimoto.

"Whoops," I said helpfully.

"Whoops!? Do you usually sleepwalk down the halls or were you attempting to ram me into the wall for sport?" She snapped. Bitch.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention," I replied stonily before stalking off.

"Hey--!" I heard her call, but decided to ignore it. That girl just bugged me for some reason I could never put my finger on. She really knew how to push my buttons. But from the stories I'd heard of already infamous her wandering hands, I was lucky that was all she did to me.

I shut the dressing room door and leaned against it.

"Hey." Of COURSE, she was in the room. I opened my eyes and stared at Maki. She looked down. "You've heard."

"Yes."

"I'm sorry."

"Were you planning on telling me?" She looked away.

"I knew I had to, but I just..."

"Yeah."

"I - "

"So when's the happy day? When do I get to stand in front of thousands of screaming fanboys and proclaim happily 'Gocchin! Congratulatioooons!!'?" I asked sarcastically.

"Don't be like this."

"Like what? Do you really think that we can sneak around with you off on your own tours? How often do we see Nakazawa anymore? A handful of TV tapings and the group concerts? You can't sustain a relationship on that, can you?" She didn't answer. "How long have you known?"

"...a month," she said quietly.

"A MONTH!?" I exclaimed. There was a knock at the door.

"Goto! 20 minutes!" a stagehand called in.

"Can't we talk about this later?" she asked.

"Couldn't we talk about this before?" I countered. She sighed.

"I didn't want to hurt you."

"Uh, too late?"

"Why are you so angry at me? This isn't my decision!"

"I know," I sighed. "Just... tell me honestly. Is there any chance of this still working out when we can't ever see each other? Is there?" My eyes pleaded with her to say yes, to say we could overcome anything, to say we could try.

She didn't say a word. Her eyes roamed the room, looking everywhere but me. The clock ticked loudly on the wall.

I swallowed back the lump in my throat.

"Ok. If you could, um, go through your apartment and find my things, and I'll do the same, and, um... yeah." I turned to leave the room.

"I'm so sorry..." was the last thing I heard before I shut the door. I I remember even then thinking that the worst thing about the entire situation was that it wasn't anyone's fault. I couldn't be angry at Maki about the agency's decision. I could only manage to be angry at her about not telling me sooner, and that was even half-hearted. I just didn't care anymore.

Someone cleared their throat. I didn't even need to look up.

"Makoto, could you spread the word for everyone to leave me alone for a while?"

"Sure," my number one fangirl replied.

"And I need chocolate. Lots of freaking chocolate." Makoto gave a wry laugh and led me towards the cafeteria.


----------------------

Sorry to bring everyone down with this bit, but it needed to be done. I always had this pet theory about Yossi's crazyass lumberjack period and decided to incorporate that it.
I recently went through a painful breakup myself, but tried not to... taint this too much with that.  :lol:

Post by: JFC on July 11, 2007, 06:43:34 PM
^ Unfortunately, Maki knew that even if they both wanted it too, it would most likely be really hard, if not impossible to have a relationship with what was about to happen and the changes that it meant.

The thing that probably hurt Yossi the most is that Maki didn't tell her even though she knew for a month that it was going to happen.  While it's understandable that Maki didn't want to tell her for risk of hurting her, sooner would have been better than later.  Plus it would have been better if she had told Yossi herself, rather than finding out from Mako or, as Yossi herself said, "the news".


On a somewhat-related note, at this point in the "story", I wonder if Miki knows that Yossi is the girl she made out with in the closet?
Title: Re: memoir [Now with Part 3-ness!]
Post by: katatsumuri on July 12, 2007, 08:35:08 AM
Seemed to me Maki treated her relationship with Yossi quite lightly. In chapter two, they were together. In chapter three, it's all over between them. Phew~ that was fast. But I guess it's necessary. Someone leaves and another will take over.

Post by: almond on July 12, 2007, 12:35:41 PM
Yay comments!

stefy - Thanks for the compliment! JFC kinda hit the nail on the head with the reason for Maki not saying yes.
JFC - Yay, someone understands my reasoning! What's funny is at the point I was writing part 3 in this, I hadn't decided yet if Miki knew. Stop reading my mind!  :lol:
katatsumuri - I know I ended them superfast. I mainly just wanted to get a little bit of history in there for future storyline things. Since this is Yossi looking back at her life, it's only certain events that spring to mind. Also there were several months before and between these chapters. 5th gen joined in fall of '01 and I think Maki's grad was announced in spring/summer of '02.
arina_shinh - Aah! Don't cry!  :cry: I have no plans for YoRika in this since my brain's full enough as it is.

The next few years are gonna go by fairly quickly, but the story will slow down and have a bit of fluff after a while.

I'm not going to lie. I completely gave up after that. I ate whatever I felt like. I'm pretty sure my bagel habit alone put the local baker's son through college. My only exercise was dance and I really didn't even care about that. It's a miracle I wasn't called in to the agency office and informed I was going to "pursue my studies".

I remember being jerked from my sleep with a soft knock at my door. Which at the time, was my usual early morning routine.

"Oh. My. GOD." I groaned, rolling out of bed. I shuffled over to the door and opened it, looking up at the ceiling. "For the last freaking time, I do not want to go for a damn run. Yes, I like being the token chunky one, and no, I don't want to talk about it. Ok?"

"Good to know." That woke me up.

"Um, you're not Yaguchi."

"Nope."

"It's been a while. How've you been, Fujimoto?"

"Just dandy." She just stood there, looking at me strangely. I waited for her to say something, but finally that silence got too uncomfortable.

"...can I help you with something? It's like 5 am." Miki gave me a once-over.

"Damn, when did you stop caring? Last time I saw you, you were hot."

"...ok, good night," I said, starting to shut the door in the other girl's face.

"Sorry, wait," she stuck her arm out to block the door.

"What?" I managed to put all of my fatigue into that one syllable.

"Can I come in and talk to you for a minute?" I groaned and opened the door, mock bowing as I granted her entrance and shut the door.

Miki sat down on the couch and looked at me thoughtfully. Then shook her head like she was clearing her brain out.

"Well, there's something you should know."

"Ok?"

"It was just decided yesterday that I'd be joining Morning Musume. along with whoever wins the audition."

"...well, shit," I managed to reply as I sat down next to her. Miki's head jerked up and she looked at me intensely.

"Exactly. We have some... issues to discuss." I stared at her blankly. She blinked several times. "...you know?"

"I honestly have no idea what you are talking about," I replied. Her jaw dropped.

"Are you serious?"

"Uh, yes?" Her reaction was perplexing. "Ok, you cannot look like that. You dragged ME out of bed at the crackass of dawn and then started being all mysterious about some 'issue'. Could I at least get a hint?"

Without warning, she grabbed my face and pressed her lips against mine. The shock that rippled through me was quickly replaced by a warm nostalgic feeling followed by a desire that disturbed me. I remember thinking it was too soon to feel anything again. I didn't want to feel again, but...  I hastily pulled away and scrambled off the couch. Miki looked at me expectantly.

"I, um, I don't, uh, quite know what that was about, but if this is about your, uh, same-team tendencies, um, most people know about that, and I really, um, I mean, that's not at all a problem?" I couldn't remember the last time I'd been this flustered or this ...cold? Miki was staring quite blatantly with a slowly spreading smirk. I followed her gaze to find that my tank top had decided it was about time for me to flash Fujimoto. I yanked the offending strap back into place and defensively pulled a pillow up to my chest. Miki started to laugh.

"Ok, then, well, sorry to bother you," she chuckled as she made her way to the door.

"What?" I asked.

"Nevermind," Miki replied with a smile. She paused with her hand on the doorknob. "Oh, and I'm sorry about earlier. I was wrong. You may not care anymore, but you're still hot." With that she walked out of my apartment leaving me very confused and very much so hot in the face.

I started to wander back to bed when I heard another knock. Great. She wants peep show part 2. I threw open the door.

"WHAT?" I sighed loudly. Then realized I was looking way above the person at my door.

"Good morning!!!" the minuscule peppy senior exclaimed. "Are you ready for a run today?"

"Yaguchi..." I sighed, starting to form my standard refusal. Fujimoto's lips on mine came rushing back to the forefront of my mind. I smiled without quite knowing why. "Let me get changed," I replied, heading back into my bedroom and leaving a very tiny girl's mouth hanging very wide open.


-------------------------

Writing this part amused me to no end. Sorry for jumping forward so many months at a time. At least it's not years at a time... yet.  :sweat:

Losing the weight was the easy part. I was back to almost normal weight fairly quickly except for that pesky face weight and the new futsal team practices were helping me get my muscle tone back. The hard part was getting management to let me be back to normal.


It was strange. Somehow they had gotten used to me being the long-haired tomboy in the back. All of my clothes were oversized. They kept putting off my request to go back to short hair. Something about there being enough short-haired girls in the group for now, and maybe after Abe graduated or if Fujimoto grew her hair out long enough or...

Ah, Fujimoto. She never mentioned her early morning visit again. And I wasn't about to bring it up. There was something strange about it that I couldn't quite put my finger on at the time. She definitely helped me get back to my old self, though. Well, not my old self, since I'd grown and changed since then, but, my new self, I guess. She helped drag me from my funk into who I really was. Whenever I started to slide back down, she'd do or say something to wake me back up.

"Good morning!" I turned around.

"Morning," I grumbled. "You're here early."

"My brain just woke up and refused to..." Miki trailed off. "Uh, what happened to your head?" I sighed heavily.

"I cut my hair."

"Did you get your money back? It looks like crap," she replied bluntly.

"No, I mean *I* cut my hair." Miki stared at me.

"Are you retarded?" she asked. I gave her a look.

"No, I..." I looked around the empty room and walked over to her. "I was trying to make them let me go back to short hair," I said quietly.

"What did they say?"

"The same thing they've been saying. Too many short-haired girls in the group. Try again after Abe's graduation." Miki shook her head.

"Are they at least going to fix it?"

"I got the impression they're going to make me suffer with it a bit first. Probably just until a new single promotion or something."

"You poor thing. Come to Miki!" she declared dramatically before pulling me into a hug.

"You're so weird." I apparently had seen nothing yet because Miki suddenly pulled back and lifted up my oversized shirt. "Can I help you with something!?" I sputtered.

"When did you get like this?" she demanded, staring at my stomach. I grabbed my shirt and pulled it back down. She looked up at me. "No, seriously, why are you wearing these giant clothes? With your chubby face, it makes you look about three times your size."

"Yeah, I always lose weight in my face last," I replied. "It's wardrobe. Trust me, if I had my way, I'd be in normal clothing - "

"Normal from the girl who wears old man clothes to rehearsal," she interrupted.

"Hey! Those are comfy!" I protested.

"So, basically, you want short hair and skimpy costumes." Miki got a distant look.

"That's not what I said."

"No, no," she replied, a wide smile slowly spreading across her face. "I like the short hair and skimpy costumes idea. Maybe get a little necktie action going on."

"You're insane."

"I'm not the one with the self-made mullet," she replied, tugging at my hair.

JFC - Yay, someone understands my reasoning! What's funny is at the point I was writing part 3 in this, I hadn't decided yet if Miki knew. Stop reading my mind!  :lol:
WOOOO!!!   :banana:

"Oh. My. GOD." I groaned, rolling out of bed.
Shouldn't it be "OH MY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" ? :hee:


Quote
"It's been a while. How've you been, Fujimoto?"

"Just dandy." She just stood there, looking at me strangely.
This must be just around the time that Miki first joined MM. 


Quote
"...can I help you with something? It's like 5 am." Miki gave me a once-over.

"Damn, when did you stop caring? Last time I saw you, you were hot."
Whoa, maybe Miki does remember the closet incident? Or she should just be going off of TV appearances.


Quote
"It was just decided yesterday that I'd be joining Morning Musume. along with whoever wins the audition."

"...well, shit," I managed to reply as I sat down next to her. Miki's head jerked up and she looked at me intensely.

"Exactly. We have some... issues to discuss." I stared at her blankly. She blinked several times. "...you know?"
Ok, Miki MUST be talking about the closet incident. What else could it be?


Quote
"I honestly have no idea what you are talking about," I replied. Her jaw dropped.

"Are you serious?"
Yossi probably just doesn't remember because she's still half-asleep. :yep:


Quote
Could I at least get a hint?" Without warning, she grabbed my face and pressed her lips against mine. The shock that rippled through me was quickly replaced by a warm nostalgic feeling followed by a desire that disturbed me.
Well, I guess that answers the question of whether Miki remembers it or not. :P


Quote
"Oh, and I'm sorry about earlier. I was wrong. You may not care anymore, but you're still hot." With that she walked out of my apartment leaving me very confused and very much so hot in the face.
Child, Miki knows!  O0


Quote
I started to wander back to bed when I heard another knock. Great. She wants peep show part 2. I threw open the door.

"WHAT?" I sighed loudly. Then realized I was looking way above the person at my door.

"Good morning!!!" the minuscule peppy senior exclaimed. "Are you ready for a run today?"

"Yaguchi..." I sighed, starting to form my standard refusal. Fujimoto's lips on mine came rushing back to the forefront of my mind. I smiled without quite knowing why. "Let me get changed," I replied, heading back into my bedroom and leaving a very tiny girl's mouth hanging very wide open.
Man, gotta love da Gooch!  :k-great:

So all that was needed was for someone to tell Yossi that she was still attractive, huh? Makes sense. People like being complimented like that. It often makes them want to try harder. :)

Mikan - Thanks for the comment! I'm glad my insanity is amusing you!  :glasses:

JFC - Get out of my heeead!  XD Your "OH MY GAAAAAAAAAAH" comment cracked me up and I almost went back and changed it. Maybe I'll put it in a later part.

This next part was the original ending before I decided to tie the two sections together. Which means after this is some random fluff crap.
:byebye:

-------------------------

Have you ever noticed how nothing happens in your life for long periods of time and then everything happens at once? Well, that's the way my life seems to go at least.

"What?! Are you serious?" I exclaimed into my cell phone. I sighed. "Right, I understand. Tomorrow, right? .... ok." I hung up the phone and promptly began creating a killer percussion beat with my head against the nearest wall.

"Having fun?" I stopped and opened one eye to see an amused Fujimoto staring at me.

"Oh, yeah," I replied before returning to banging my head on the wall. THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! THUD. I opened my eyes to see Miki's hand between my forehead and the wall.

"What's up?" she asked. We had become fairly good friends in the years since she joined. She didn't seem to push my buttons anymore... well, that's not true. She just was pushing different buttons. A hardcore flirt with wandering hands. Who enjoyed teasing me unmercifully at the most inappropriate times. Such as putting her hands in the front pockets of very tight shorts when we were on camera. In other words, even though we never mentioned that 5 am discussion, I thought about it constantly. Especially late at night when I wondered why I was fighting off her advances so strongly.

"It's Yagu - Ah, good evening!" I bowed politely at a passing staff member who was known for being a bit gossipy. I looked around suspiciously, grabbed a surprised Miki's arm, and hauled her into the nearest room.

"If you wanted to get some special alone time, you just needed to ask," Miki teased, running her hand slowly down my arm and leaving a trail of goose bumps. I ignored her.

"Yaguchi is getting Friday'd tomorrow morning. I'm going to be the freaking leader," I explained.

"They got caught!?" Miki exclaimed, dropping her hand. She shook her head. "That's unbelievable. What kind of idiot doesn't notice a telephoto lens peeping out of the bushes? Did she want to get caught or something?" I shook my head and turned to open the door and check for eavesdroppers.

It was locked. I turned around to explain this to Fujimoto.

Except she, thinking we were leaving, stepped forward at the same time, trapping my shoelace, causing me to lose my balance and pitch forward, taking her down with me.

"Oh my God, are you okay?" I exclaimed. Miki looked a bit dazed, but otherwise fine.

...this seemed strangely familiar.

"Do you have some sort of arousal issue with storage closets?!" Miki demanded.

"What in the world are you talking about?" I replied, feeling more and more confused by the minute. Miki sighed as I started to get up off the poor girl.

"I guess I'm lucky since I didn't get pummeled with half-empty boxes this time." My entire body froze mid motion.

"What did you just say?" I said very slowly. Miki rolled her eyes.

"You have got to be kidding me," she replied. "You still haven't figured it out? It's not like I've changed THAT much since 2000." My eyes widened to a near-anime level.

"Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no," I stammered as my poor brain finally started putting 2 and 2 together and getting 4 for once instead of 78. "You, uh, you auditioned with me, didn't you?"

"Yeeeees," Miki said slowly as though I had a mental illness. Which I apparently did.

"And, uh, your audition number was, um..."

"511," we said in unison. I could feel my entire body begin to blush.

"Then, the 'issue' you wanted to talk about that one time was, uh..."

"That we had made out about three years earlier."

"Ah," I said intelligently.

"Yep," Miki replied with a slowly spreading smirk. She had the upper hand and knew it. I hate it when other people had the upper hand.

"I take it you've figured out where to put your nose now?" I inquired innocently before Miki could say anything. Miki gave me one of her patented death glares and slammed her right arm against my back. I fell from my weird frozen in motion crouching position directly onto her.

"Trust me. I know where to put everything now," she replied smugly, slowly bringing her right leg up into a bent position until it was pressed against my - Oh my... I had just begun to color slightly when she continued. "I see you decided to be openly hot again." I laughed.

"Oh, you're not getting a free show this time." Miki closed her eyes and grinned.

"Oh, trust me, I'm getting one right now." She opened one eye. "And I bet I can get one again." I shook my head and lowered my face down to whisper in her ear.

"No, next one you have to pay for." Miki's eyes met mine. And her lips soon followed.


Like I've said before, I can be a bit fuzzy on the details. I remember her lips and hands and skin and hands and those legs and, oh Lord, did I mention her hands? The other members only think they've seen them wander.

I'd love to say it was romantic and wonderful and destiny aligned and all of that, but who am I kidding? We were on the floor of a closet, Miki (ok, I say it was Miki and Miki says it was me) kept accidentally kicking over stacks of I don't even know what onto the floor, and I later confirmed with her that neither one of us had any idea what to do exactly and were just kind of winging it. It was messy and sloppy and chaotic and absolutely fantastic.


"Wow," I exhaled as I lay panting. Miki had half collapsed into my arms and seemed to be drifting in and out of consciousness. Which at first made my ego swell with pride before I began to worry. "Are you ok?" I asked. She opened her eyes and stared into mine for a moment. The raw emotions in her eyes was bewitching and painful at the same time.

"I'm spectacular," she finally said dramatically, making me laugh. "How are you?"

"Uh, can't complain," I replied. She smiled and started to drift to sleep again. I glanced around at the damage we had done to the room. There were several bolts of satiny fabric that had fallen over and at some point we had started using the red one as a pillow. I absentmindedly picked off a silver streamer that had fallen from who knows where onto Miki's head. What a weird room. "OH!" I exclaimed suddenly. "I almost forgot to tell you!"

"As long as it's not about a STD, I'm good," she replied without moving.

"You're the sub!" I announced. This got her attention.

"Excuse me? I do believe that I was on top for at least half -" I laughed.

"No, no, no. With Yaguchi leaving, I'm promoted to leader. They decided to make you sub-leader because you're old."

"That's great news," she replied, ignoring the barb and snuggling back into my arms. "My first act is the banishment of the 'No dating amongst members' rule." She paused. "On second thought, a new rule in its place 'Only dating amongst leader and subleader members'." I chuckled.

"Oh! So we're dating now?" I asked.

"Well, I just assumed you wanted to do the non-asshole thing here."

"Miki." I said in a serious voice. This startled her and she sat up.

"Uh, we can talk about it, I was mostly joking," she backpedaled.

"Since you've stolen my innocence from me -"

"Who stole whose what now?" she interjected with a raised eyebrow.

"You'll just have to do the honorable thing and ask Nakazawa for her blessing."

"I hate you so much," Miki laughed.

"Really? Well, I'll have to fix that, then. You seemed pretty damn fond of me a few minutes ago."

She started to laugh, which quickly turned into an entirely different noise.

After all, practice makes perfect.

Oho, took Yossie awhile to figure out xD

Her interaction with Miki has to be the most amusing thing to me ever xD! Portrayed their relationship well, dear <3

Though like Rndmn, I'm more of the Ishiyoshi fan, but Yomiki is awesome too <3

I wonder if you're going to cover their Hong Kong trip. There's definitely a lot of situations you can work off from there with those two <3

For the time being, I wonder how they handle Morning Musume in general >D Kaasan and Tousan and the kids xD!!!!

This goes to show that Yossi is INDEED getting fellings for Miki. However, as was mentioned in a previous chapter, due to her bad/awkward break-up with Maki, Yossi's scared to get into that type of relationship again.  It's not the relationship itself that scares her, it's the fear of having her heart broken a second time.

"They got caught!?" Miki exclaimed, dropping her hand.
Well, the bomb has been dropped and now they (meaning the management) are looking to Yossi to clean up the mess.  Chances are this is closer to the reaction Yossi and Miki had in real life when they found out about Mari.  On the outside they (especially Yossi) were cool as ice about it, but internally they both must have been going through quite a bit.

Nothing's coming from the Yuko comment, btw, I just thought it sounded funnier than Tsunku.

7

We decided to keep it a secret.

Well, as much as we could. We weren't stupid - people were bound to figure things out after a while, but work was work. At work, we needed to at least try to be professional about it. There was no reason for the others to know.

Then there was the new girl - Kusumi Koharu. The Miracle. What a mess. I was stressed out constantly trying to make sure she didn't make an ass of herself and all of us by extension, while trying not to be too harsh with the kid. Add that to the fact that she idolized Miki and had started following me around referring to me as her mom, which was just a bit creepy considering everyone else kept calling me the dad of the group.

I felt a tug on my ponytail extension and jumped.

"Damn! Don't scare me like that," I replied. Miki laughed.

"I figured it out," she stated solemnly. "The end of the dance looks like drunk monkeys on an elliptical machine." I choked back a laugh. "But, uh," she leaned right next to my ear. "You make a pretty hot drunk monkey, so how 'bout after this we head back to my place for some wild monkey s-"

"GOOD MORNING!!!!!" I jumped and stared at the lanky ball of hyperactivity that had appeared with a big grin.

"Good morning, Kusumi," an unfazed Miki replied. "Why don't you head over to wardrobe to get changed?" Koharu grinned madly and ran off towards wardrobe.

"That girl needs some downers," I sighed.

"Yoshizawa!" I turned around to find one of the crew rushing over. "We're ready for your shot."

"Be there in just a moment." I turned to Miki. "We'll finish this conversation later," She nodded and gave me a wink before heading off to check on the others. Playtime was over.

"Ok, in this shot, we just need you to dramatically wave this around," the director said, handing me some red satin material attached to a stick.

"That's it?"

"That's it. Just try to look sexy and irritated while you're at it," he laughed. I nodded as he went over to check on some lighting before we got started. I absentmindedly twirled the makeshift flag around.

"Oh! The, uh, flag thing - the stitching's coming apart," I called. One of the newer staff members ran over. She looked vaguely familiar.

"Let me fix that for you," she said, taking it from me. She glanced up. "Gotten stuck in any more closets?" she asked with a smile as she worked. Oh, crud.

"Ah! You're the one who let us out!" I said with a big fake smile, thanking God and Buddha and anyone else that we had put clothes back on before we had fallen completely asleep. That would have been a very rude awakening indeed. ...of course I later realized they were the wrong clothes when I found myself at home wearing Miki's bra. So, I naturally had to bring it back to her myself...

"That's right." What? Oh, right, the video shoot. The staff member laughed lightly and tugged on the new stitches. "That should do it. I bet you're surprised to be reunited!"

"E-e-excuse me?" I stammered. How did she know about me and Miki? Oh my God, was there a security camera in that thing!?

"Don't you recognize it?" She handed me back my prop. "This is the same fabric that you and Fujimoto used as a makeshift pillow when you poor things were trapped in there." She tilted her head to one side. "Didn't you know you were in the video production supply room?"

"Ah, no. I had no idea," I replied honestly, trying not to burst out laughing at what I now held in my hands.


As soon as the shoot was over, I grabbed Miki's arm.

"I need to talk to you," I hissed. I had been fighting back the hysterical laughter for hours now and couldn't hold it back much longer. Reina and Sayumi turned to stare at us. Miki gave me one of her death glares. Which really didn't help the matter, since I just found those incredibly sexy. I grinned at the two 6th gen members.

"Sorry, leader stuff. Go on home and we'll see you tomorrow," I explained and dragged Miki off.

"What the hell was that?" she asked as I closed the dressing room door behind us.

"Sorry, it's not what you think," I replied.

"I think you're trying to blow this whole not-tell-the-kids thing, 'Dad'."

"No, that's not it. It's just - " I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing. "The... the red flag things... from the shoot..."

"Ok..." Miki said slowly.

"They're... the storage..." I was almost crying now.

"Are you going to go cut your own hair again?" Miki asked, looking a bit alarmed. I held my hand up while I regained my composure.

"You remember the storage room where we, uh..."

"Had happy fun naked time?" That set me off into another fit of laughter. "Sorry," she apologized, sitting down in one of the chairs while I composed myself again.

I cleared my throat. "Right, um, remember all that random fabric and boxes upon boxes of silver streamers that kept getting knocked down?" She grinned wickedly. I coughed. "Right. I found out today that those red flag things - "

"I think they were supposed to be a matador's cape."

"Whatever. They were made out of the red satin we used as a pillow during our happy fun naked time." Miki's eyes widened and she clapped a hand over her mouth.

"You're joking."

"I am not joking."


"What's next, those silver streamers are going to show up in every video for the next 6 months?" She leaned her head back and started to laugh.

Now, I've noticed that I tend to get distracted easily. I can usually refocus pretty quickly, but certain things - such as a long delectable neck presenting itself in such a manner - tend to distract me fairly successfully.

So I, of course, pounced. Everyone else had gone home and, I'm sorry, but she's freaking gorgeous.

"Aah! Yoshizawa, Goto! So sorry, I just forgot..." Miki froze. I turned around with a Fujimoto-level death glare.

"Are you having a freaking flashback, Makoto!?" I snapped. Makoto peered around me.

"Ah, Fujimoto." Makoto said, nodding sagely. Her eyes widened. "AH! Fujimoto!" She looked at me, back at Miki, and back at me again. Then promptly spun on her heel and walked out.

"That girl has the most insane timing, I swear," I shook my head. "Now," I grinned. "Where were we?"

"You were just about to tell me why Makoto thought I was Goto Maki."

"Are you sure I wasn't about to - "

"No."

"Damn."

Well, that was easy.


Quote
"Oh! The, uh, flag thing - the stitching's coming apart," I called. One of the newer staff members ran over. She looked vaguely familiar.

"Let me fix that for you," she said, taking it from me. She glanced up. "Gotten stuck in any more closets?" she asked with a smile as she worked. Oh, crud.

"Ah! You're the one who let us out!" I said with a big fake smile, thanking God and Buddha and anyone else that we had put clothes back on before we had fallen completely asleep.
Uh-oh! Did Yossi and Miki get busted? How much does this woman know, and how sick is her mind?  If it's twisted like Miki's, she'll likely have figured out what had really happened in that closet before she opened it and found the two of them snoozing.


Quote
I later realized they were the wrong clothes when I found myself at home wearing Miki's bra. So, I naturally had to bring it back to her myself...
Ooooooooooooh they must've had fun "returning each other's clothes", so to speak. :jerk:


Quote
Miki gave me one of her death glares. Which really didn't help the matter, since I just found those incredibly sexy.
They ARE damn sexy, aren't they? :pimp:


Quote
"Sorry, leader stuff. Go on home and we'll see you tomorrow," I explained and dragged Miki off.

"What the hell was that?" she asked as I closed the dressing room door behind us.

"Sorry, it's not what you think," I replied.

"I think you're trying to blow this whole not-tell-the-kids thing, 'Dad'."

"No, that's not it. It's just - " I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing. "The... the red flag things... from the shoot..."

"Ok..." Miki said slowly.

"They're... the storage..." I was almost crying now.

"Are you going to go cut your own hair again?" Miki asked, looking a bit alarmed. I held my hand up while I regained my composure.
Yossi makes absolutely NO sense when she's giddly like this...but that's okay. It's still pretty damn hot. :yep:


Quote
"You remember the storage room where we, uh..."

"Had happy fun naked time?" That set me off into another fit of laughter.
:on lol:


Quote
"Right, um, remember all that random fabric and boxes upon boxes of silver streamers that kept getting knocked down?" She grinned wickedly. I coughed. "Right. I found out today that those red flag things - "

...

They were made out of the red satin we used as a pillow during our happy fun naked time." Miki's eyes widened and she clapped a hand over her mouth.

"You're joking."

"I am not joking."

"What's next, those silver streamers are going to show up in every video for the next 6 months?" She leaned her head back and started to laugh.
To everyone else, they'll just be random bits of fabric, but to Yossi and Miki, they'll be reminders of their happy fun naked time! XD


Quote
"Aah! Yoshizawa, Goto! So sorry, I just forgot..." Miki froze. I turned around with a Fujimoto-level death glare.

"Are you having a freaking flashback, Makoto!?" I snapped. Makoto peered around me.

"Ah, Fujimoto." Makoto said, nodding sagely. Her eyes widened. "AH! Fujimoto!" She looked at me, back at Miki, and back at me again. Then promptly spun on her heel and walked out.
Aw crap, not again. :rofl:

Wait, this time it's Miki, not Maki. Oh shit does Miki know about Maki?  :?


Quote
"That girl has the most insane timing, I swear," I shook my head. "Now," I grinned. "Where were we?"

"You were just about to tell me why Makoto thought I was Goto Maki."

"Are you sure I wasn't about to - "

"No."

"Damn."
Shit...I guess she doesn't.

PLEASE don't make it that Miki breaks up with Yossi over this! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE! :pleeease:

Ok, so I did not intend to write a Yossi-explains-about-Maki part, but damn you JFC, getting me thinking again. Since this wasn't originally planned and I started changing the thread title based on the albums anyway, here is part 7.5!

----------------------------

7.5

She didn't say a word during the entire taxi ride. She just stared out the window.

I had talked Miki into going back to my place for privacy during our discussion. I really did not want anyone interrupting this. I had been putting this talk off ever since we had started sleeping together a few months ago. But thanks to the wonderful timing of Ogawa Makoto, I guess the time was now.

"Can I get you something? Tea? Water?" I asked as I closed the front door.

"Vodka on the rocks," she replied, sitting down on my couch.

"Sorry, fresh out. How about a Sex on the Beach?" That got a half smile that faded all too quickly. Miki looked around my living room. She leaned over and picked up the lone photograph on the end table. "That's from when I visited my family over our winter holiday," I offered, sitting down next to her. She smiled and put the photo back.

"So... exactly how many people are you 'dating' right now?" Miki asked.

"What?" She laughed.

"I always thought that 'Pimp Yoshizawa' thing was just a joke." She stared at her hands.

"Miki!"

"Don't get the wrong idea!" she laughed again. "I just need to know who else - "

"There's no one else!"

"So it's just me and Maki?"

"WHAT!?" I exclaimed, jumping to my feet.

"Don't be so excitable! I told you it's fine. Though I am kind of wondering who's better..."

"Maki and I broke up three years ago," I said quietly. She didn't say anything. I turned away from her and stared out the window. "We hooked up shortly after I joined and broke up a few months before she graduated." I felt her arms reach around my waist.

"Yossi, I -" I entwined my fingers with one of the hands around me.

"Makoto walked in on us kissing shortly after she had joined the group. I'm guessing that's why she assumed you were Maki." I sighed as she pulled me back onto the couch.

"I'm sorry," she said. "I misunderstood. You don't have to talk about this."

"No, I needed to tell you sooner or later." Miki guided me to a laying position with my head on her lap. I closed my eyes as she ran her fingers through my hair. "Poor Mako. She's the one who told me Maki was graduating. She had overheard some staff members talking about it and came over to ask me if I knew when it was exactly. When I asked Maki about it, she admitted she had found out over a month ago."

"And didn't bother telling you? Sounds like it wouldn't have worked out anyway."

"I love how you just say what you're thinking," I smiled.

"Then you'll love this. Did you have sex?" I shook my head.

"We talked about it, but weren't ready yet."

"Were you in love with her?"

"No. But... I guess I was in the process of falling in love at the time."

"...wait, if you didn't sleep with Maki then who was your first? Was it Ishikawa?"

"What!?"

"Hmm... Makoto?"

"Only in her daydreams," I muttered. Miki laughed.

"Yaguchi?"

"Are you on crack?!"

"Is it not a Morning Musume. girl? Ayaka?"

"I've already told you."

"No... I think I'd remember that. Give me a hint at least."

"Miki."

"What? I want a hint!" I opened my eyes and looked at her.

"You don't need one. That was the answer."

"What, seriously? I thought you were joking when you said I 'stole your innocence'. Wow. I mean, huh... I guess you just have a natural talent for that sort of thing," I burst out laughing.

"Oh really?" I smiled lecherously up at her. She leaned down to kiss me. "What about you?" I asked right before her lips touched mine.

"...hmm?" she said innocently.

"I told you my romantic history, short as it is. What about you, O Queen of the Grope?" She made a face.

"The groping doesn't count, right? Are we talking just sex or including making out?"

"Making out included." She looked thoughtful.

"You, my friend Miyuki, my friend Rei, Aya, um... Maki, some girl on my concert staff, Rika, Aya, Ayumi, Masae, Takahashi, Aya, and, uh, you. ...oh, Mai's in there somewhere and I'm sure I've missed some." I blinked several times.

"You've been busy." She grinned.

"Yeeeeah," she said smugly.

"Aya made, uh, quite a few appearances on that list."

"Yeah, I get bored easily." As if to prove a point, her hand started tracing a lazy path towards my chest.

"What about sex?" I asked.

"Sounds great," she grinned. I raised an eyebrow. "Oh fine. You in the storage closet, you on my couch, you in my bedroom, you in my shower, you on my kitchen table, you on the floor outside your bedroom, you IN your bedroom, you against that wall over there, you in that empty dressing room during Rika's last concert, you in the taxi ride back to my place, you just inside my front door, you in my bedroom again, and, hopefully, you on your couch." She smiled wickedly as her hands did what they did best.

"I think you forgot a few," I replied. She shrugged.

"Probably. Don't care." I laughed and let her erase all of the painful memories that had surfaced in my mind.

Wow, Miki might act all big and tough, but deep inside she's like most people. Miki obviously has strong feelings for Yossi (though she's probably never told her, because it wouldn't be a "Miki" thing to do), but when Mako walked in on them and mistook Miki for Maki, all of a sudden things are different. Up until that point in time, Yossi was probably the only girl for Miki, and she probably believed that the reverse was true.  Now she's thinking that Yossi's possibly dating other H!P members while she's dating her, and it hurts.  It means that Miki's no longer special, instead she's just another notch on Yossi's bedpost.

Of course the rest of us (and Yossi, if she knows how good she actually has it) knows that it's not true. It's not just Miki that needs to be convinced.

Well that went well. :)  Poor Miki must now feel all silly about getting jealous. It's nice though, it shows Yossi that Miki wants her all to herself. :love:

"We talked about it, but weren't ready yet."

"Were you in love with her?"

"No. But... I guess I was in the process of falling in love at the time."
God I love Miki's straightforwardness. It's makes this whole discussion easier for both of them too. No dancing around the issue, just straight to the point, getting real, honest, non-bullshit answers.

Damn. That's a big thing to admit to someone. Just goes to show how special Miki is to Yossi and how strongly Yossi really DOES feel for her.  :wub:

I hope that the fact that Miki's got more experience than her at this sort of thing doesn't make Yossi feel bad or anything. What's past is past. It's the now that's important, and in the now, Miki's in rabu-rabu with Yossi.
:wriggly:

See how she remembers and highlights all the times with Yossi? That means that they were all special to her. (doesn't it?)  As for the times that she "forgot to mention", Miki said it best..."Don't care", meaning that regardless of how they were physically, on an emotional level, being with Yossi has been better.  :oops:

I have to leave in a minute, so just a quick thanks for all the comments! I love reading them and they help me with ideas for later parts!

Here's part 8!

--------------------------------

8

Memory's a strange thing. I hadn't really thought of most of the things I've written about since they happened. I guess when you're trying to think things through, the most random moments will spring back to the forefront of your mind.

I remember the first time Miki and I shared a hotel room. It was during the fall concert tour and we technically each had our own room, but she conveniently got lost and ended up in mine. We had tried to room together during the summer tour, but the arrangements were already decided on and we didn't want to have to explain anything. We had already moved out of closets and storerooms and onto our own beds, but we were thrilled at the idea of being able to do whatever we wanted in the middle of the tour. Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned.

I was awoken by someone knocking frantically on my door. I leaned over to check on Miki, but, always the heavy sleeper, she was still dead to the world. Yawning, I rolled out of bed and shuffled over to the door.

"Who is it?" I yawned again.

"Aaah~ It's Koharu! Please open the door!" The panic in her voice woke me up and I opened the door.

"Koharu, what's wrong?" I asked, leaning my head out.

"Aaaaaaah!" she cried and flung her arms around me, pushing herself into my room. I kicked the door shut to prevent any other intrusions.

"Ok, get a hold of yourself. Are you ok? Did a fan find your room?" She shook her head.

"I had a nightmare!" I sighed.

"Koharu-"

"And no one else would answer the door! Reina just yelled for me to go back to bed! I can't even get Fujimoto to answer her door!" As if on cue, Miki flopped over in bed and let out a particularly ladylike snore. Koharu's eyes widened in the darkness. She ran over and fumbled for the light switch.

"Wait, don't...!" I was too late. Miki groaned and put my pillow over her head. "um... Look! I found Fujimoto!"

"Why is Fujimoto in here?" she asked, tilting her head to one side.

"She, uh, had a nightmare too!" I proclaimed. Koharu looked at me in the lamplight.

"Why are you only in underwear?" I looked down at my skimpy tank top and undies combination. I wasn't embarrassed - I once chased Kago out of my room and onto a balcony while I was stark naked - but it was still inappropriate around a 13-year-old.

"Uh, because... her nightmare was that my pajamas attacked her."

"OH! I've had that one before," Koharu nodded sagely.

"Yes, well, why don't you go back to your room so...?"

"NO!" Another snort from Miki. I turned around... yep, still asleep. And somehow I was the dense one.

"Ok, will talking about it help?"

"I dunno. It was pretty scary." I laughed.

"Well, I don't scare easily."

"Ok, well, I was dreaming that I was asleep in my hotel room! It's just like this one, you know, but with my things instead of yours. And then I felt something on my leg - in the dream, I mean - and I threw off the covers and there it was!"

"A zombie?" I guessed.

"No! A snake!" I paled.

"....a what?"

"A snake! A big python-y snake! It was all coiled around the bottom of the bed and it looked at me with it's fangs and - "

"OK THAT'S ENOUGH ABOUT THE SNAKE!" I said in a loud squeaky voice.

"What are you going on about over there?" a sleepy voice called.

"Uh, Koharu had a nightmare just like you!" I said, still talking in the squeaky voice. Frigging snakes. With their slimy coils and their icky scales and stupid icky fangs.

"I have no idea what the hell you're talking about. And what is up with your voice? If I didn't know better, I'd think you'd gotten kicked in the balls," Miki yawned.

"Fujimoto, can I sleep in here with you and Yoshizawa?" Koharu asked.

"Yeah, sure, whatever," Miki waved a hand lazily and went back to sleep. Great. I was about to get to sleep in a not very large bed with a 13-year-old and the queen of sleep-groping.

Koharu smiled and started to climb into the bed.

"Wait a sec!" I called, my voice finally starting to drop down to its normal level. "Since I, um, didn't have a nightmare, I should probably sleep in the middle." Koharu shrugged and moved over.

That was quite possibly the longest night of my life. Every time I started to fall asleep, Koharu would either kick me or Miki would start reaching her arms around me into the unexplored pedo-land behind me.

I finally managed to drift off shortly after dawn. I was rudely awoken a few minutes later by the unmistakable sound of

"USO!" I opened my eyes and glared and the full 5th generation staring at my predicament.

Which apparently had gotten more interesting in the past few minutes. Koharu was now half-sprawled across me and Miki had her left hand firmly on my breast.

"Do you think we should call the authorities?" Konno stage-whispered to a slack-jawed Takahashi. "I mean, she is only 13." Makoto started to laugh. I sighed and closed my eyes.

"Koharu had a nightmare and none of you would answer your doors so she ended up here. And, trust me, Konno, I know how old she is. I had to spend all night keeping THAT one from doing her usual violate-while-I-sleep routine." Again, as if I had cued her, Miki rolled over and started reaching her arms towards Koharu.

"But why is Fujimoto here?" Takahashi asked.

"Uh..." I looked up at the ceiling, trying to think of a logical reason.

"Because!" Oh great, our favorite Miracle was awake. "She had a nightmare that Yoshizawa's pajamas were trying to attack her!" The room went dead silent. I started to feel a weird shaking motion. I glanced over and realized that Miki was laughing. Laughing and awake and leaving me to explain things.

"OK! Well, um, Koharu, let's get you ready for the day!" Niigaki exclaimed. She walked over to the bed and dragged Koharu out by the hand.

"You guys, uh, have some good leader time," Takahashi said before ushering the others out and shutting the door.

"Miki?"

"Yes?"

"How long have you been awake?"

"About the time I put my hand on your boob," she grinned.

In the early days of H!M, during Yossui's bday, Yaguchi was clinging onto her and got mad when Nakazawa kissed Yossui on the cheek. I think on Music Station, Yaguchi said she wants Yossui as a boyfriend. In the making of Joshi Kashimashi Monotgatari PV, they are sitting together with Yaguchi hugging her arm and resting her head against Yossui. Also she was Yossui's mentor. :D

lol  Yoshizawa-san as a pimp.  She can't help it if girls are charmed by her.  :love:

Poor Mako-chan XD

But wait sec, Koharu's had a nightmare where she was attacked by PJs?  :?  Looks like Miki's not the only one with weird dreams. :P

Way to go, half-asleep Miki. :lol:  The groping likely doesn't bother Yossi that much, but it's liable to give poor Koharu another nightmare! XD

Well, it's a partial solution. At least this way Miki won't sleep-grope Koharu. Yossi just has to do her best to keep Miki's sleep-groping to a minimum and hope that Koharu's a heavy sleeper.

And OF COURSE Miki's been awake. Groping can't really be enjoyed to the fullest if you're asleep, and with her hand on Yossi's boob...yah, no way she's gonna be asleep. :twisted:

Oh and I've got to ask, what were the Gokkies doing in Yossi's room to begin with?  :dunno:



Quote
"Miki?"

"Yes?"

"How long have you been awake?"

"About the time I put my hand on your boob," she grinned.
See? :pimp:

"...wait, if you didn't sleep with Maki then who was your first? Was it Ishikawa?"

"What!?"

"Hmm... Makoto?"

"Only in her daydreams," I muttered. Miki laughed.

"Yaguchi?"

"Are you on crack?!"

"Is it not a Morning Musume. girl? Ayaka?"


 :lol: Alright, I understand Miki was desperate to know who else were on Yossie's list but why Yaguchi?  :lol:

In the early days of H!M, during Yossui's bday, Yaguchi was clinging onto her and got mad when Nakazawa kissed Yossui on the cheek. I think on Music Station, Yaguchi said she wants Yossui as a boyfriend. In the making of Joshi Kashimashi Monotgatari PV, they are sitting together with Yaguchi hugging her arm and resting her head against Yossui. Also she was Yossui's mentor. :D

lol  Yoshizawa-san as a pimp.  She can't help it if girls are charmed by her.  :love:

Poor Mako-chan XD

Oh, that's is so new to me... lol... but yeah, everyone wanted to have Yossie as their boyfriend....

"Why is Fujimoto in here?" she asked, tilting her head to one side.

"She, uh, had a nightmare too!" I proclaimed. Koharu looked at me in the lamplight.

"Why are you only in underwear?" I looked down at my skimpy tank top and undies combination. I wasn't embarrassed - I once chased Kago out of my room and onto a balcony while I was stark naked - but it was still inappropriate around a 13-year-old.

"Uh, because... her nightmare was that my pajamas attacked her."

"OH! I've had that one before," Koharu nodded sagely.


 :lol: Koharu had one just like what Yossie had created for Miki? Yossie must feel really weird.

Man, my mum just gave me a weird gazed from the kitchen because I was laughing so hard.  XD

Part 9! (I like updating, shush) This is - in theory - the last bit of fluffy filler. The actual second storyline part starts with part 10.

Thank you all so much for your encouraging comments - I actually re-read them when I'm trying to think of what to write for the next part.  :luvluv2:

------------------------

9


We had a good, long talk after that incident. ...ok, so we had a good, long, sweaty sheets session first, but THEN we had a good, long talk.

Since we had been completely busted by half the members already, we decided it was time to come clean. I felt it was only right. We were the leaders and it was our responsibility to watch out for the others. How could we expect them to be honest with us when we weren't be honest with them?

Well, that was my reasoning. Miki agreed because she thought it would be hilarious and told me I took my job way too seriously.

"What time did you tell them to be here?"

"2:30, so any minute now. And before you ask, no, that's not enough time for a quickie." Miki just smiled evilly.

"Are you ready to give the kids the sex talk, Dad?" I heard a knock on my front door.

"I better be," I sighed, going to open the door. "Oh, it's just Mako."

"Oh, thanks a lot," Makoto replied. "I saw the rest of them pulling up when I got in the elevator. Is this about what I think it is?"

"Probably," I replied. "So, please don't say anything weird."

"I never say weird things!" she protested.

"You called me Goto Maki once," Miki interjected.

"Oh, that was, uh..." Makoto trailed off, scratching her cheek distractedly. There was a rapid knock at the door. "Oh, I'll get that!"

"Makoto, this is my apartment."

"Ah, yes." She nodded thoughtfully and sat down as far away from Miki as possible. Miki laughed and shook her head as I opened the door.


I remember looking around the apartment and thinking how completely surreal this situation was. Eri, Sayumi, and Reina were sitting in a row on my couch. I don't know what Eri thought was going to happen because she was sitting very prim and proper with her hands folded on her lap. In contrast, Reina was leaning so far back that her butt was almost off the couch, her face betraying her yankee ways. Sayumi just looked bored. Makoto had given up her seat on my one living room chair to Konno and was now sitting crosslegged on the floor, absentmindedly scratching her upper arm.  Risa had dragged over my desk chair for Takahashi to sit in while Ai braided her hair. I cleared my throat.

"So, now that everyone's here - "

"Where's Koharu?" Reina asked.

"Oh, she had to go to some sort of family thing," Sayumi replied. "She won't be back in town until we go back to work next Tuesday."

"Oh, it's next Tuesday? I thought it was this Thursday!" Eri exclaimed.

"Well, you can go back then if you want, but none of us will be there," Reina said.

"Um, anyway!" I said awkwardly. They all turned and stared at me. I turned to Miki who was looking at me expectantly with a look of pure innocence. "Well, you all remember how Yaguchi got caught dating and all. Um, I feel it's important so that we can look out for each other that, uh, we be honest with each other so that, um..." Miki was looking at me like I was insane. "So that, if anything does happen, we're - " Miki clapped her hand over my mouth.

"I'm banging our leader. Any questions?" Miki announced. The other 6th generation members collectively dropped their jaws. Risa helpfully started laughing.

"Do you have no concept of tact!?" I demanded as soon as she released me. Miki shrugged.

"You were going to take three hours to get to the point. My way's faster." I shook my head and buried my face in my hands.

"Are you serious!?" Reina exclaimed finally. She turned to Makoto. "How can you be so calm?"

"Oh, I walked in on them after the Iroppoi shoot," Makoto replied casually.

"MAKOTO!" I exclaimed.

"What? ...oh."

"Wait, you knew back then?" Risa interjected.

"Why didn't you tell us? I thought we had all found out at once," Ai added.

"You all knew?" Sayumi asked.

"We found Koharu in bed with them," Ai supplied helpfully.

"WHAT!?" Sayumi jumped up.

"It's not what it sounds like!" I protested.

"I was asleep when Yoshizawa invited her into our bed," Miki shook her head sadly.

"NOT HELPING, MIKI!"

"Maybe we should have called the authorities," Konno said thoughtfully.

"OH! MY! GAAAH! You all are driving me crazy! No wonder Nakazawa drinks!" I exclaimed. "Koharu showed up at my door at like 3 in the morning because she had a nightmare. She refused to leave. Miki woke up and told her she could stay in the bed. I slept between her and Miki because SOMEONE tries to attack people in her sleep. That's it."

"How sweet! You protected me from Koharu!" Miki said innocently. I sighed and shook my head.

"And why were you four in my room anyway?" I asked the 5th gen girls.

"We got worried because Koharu was missing. Your door was unlocked anyway," Ai replied.

"Wait, so Koharu knows?" Sayumi asked.

"No, Yoshizawa told her that Fujimoto was there because of a bad dream," Konno explained. Risa started laughing.

"Correction - she told her that Fujimoto had a nightmare about Yoshizawa's pajamas attacking her!"

"And she believed it?" Reina said incredulously.

"Ah, I've had that dream before," Eri suddenly piped up. Everyone paused and turned to look at her.

"You, uh, dreamed Yoshizawa's pajamas were attacking you?" Risa asked.

"No! It was actually my dog's pajamas! Except my dog doesn't wear pajamas, so..." she trailed off.

"Koharu wouldn't have gotten it anyway," Sayumi said finally. "You can all but remove her bra and she has no idea."

"Sayumi!" I exclaimed.

"What?"

:lol:  Both sides make valid points.  As the leader and subleader, it is only fair that they come clean with the other members.  After all, they want the others to know that they can be trusted if they have any problems that they need to talk about.

Considering how the girls react to suprises like this...yeah, it's bound to be a bunch of laughs one way or another. XD

Ok! Comments reply time! Sorry, I was busy earlier and just wanted to get the chapters out there.

See how she remembers and highlights all the times with Yossi? That means that they were all special to her. (doesn't it?)  As for the times that she "forgot to mention", Miki said it best..."Don't care", meaning that regardless of how they were physically, on an emotional level, being with Yossi has been better.  :oops:
You're losing your touch! I meant to imply that there wasn't anyone else. Yossi was pointing out that they'd been... very busy lately. XD

:lol: Alright, I understand Miki was desperate to know who else were on Yossie's list but why Yaguchi?  :lol:

I could say that I put a lot of thought into it and figured Miki wondered why Yossi had thought she was Yaguchi at the door at 5am, but, yeah... I was just being random. :wahaha:

:lol: :lol: :lol: The whole rapid fire conversation between the two is hysterical. I love how it's just Bam Bam Bam!
Dude you just are the master of one liners  XD

Thank you both so much! My 2nd grade teacher once told me I was good at dialogue. :bingo:

In the early days of H!M, during Yossui's bday, Yaguchi was clinging onto her and got mad when Nakazawa kissed Yossui on the cheek. I think on Music Station, Yaguchi said she wants Yossui as a boyfriend. In the making of Joshi Kashimashi Monotgatari PV, they are sitting together with Yaguchi hugging her arm and resting her head against Yossui. Also she was Yossui's mentor. :D

Or... almond is just on crack.  (Which she is.  <_<  )

 :wahaha:

...Scratch the random part, it was what shindoushiz said. And, manamin, hurry and get back from work so you can beta part 11!

:lol: XD

Just great! Really really awesome!^^

Yay! Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Oh and I've got to ask, what were the Gokkies doing in Yossi's room to begin with?  :dunno:

Honestly? Hadn't thought about it. They were just a plot device. So, I threw that into part 9 for you.  :hee:

Man, my mum just gave me a weird gazed from the kitchen because I was laughing so hard.  XD
:vv:

Well, when you run out of album titles, we use single titles! I think this is a perfect chapter to name Ai no Tane. And such a sex talk! "Your way was going to take 3 hours!" almond, this fic is AWESOME!!!!!! Write more please!
I'm thinking of using single titles later, so I guess I'll just start using other people's albums.  lol
And I'm working on it! I just finished part 11 and will be starting 12 tonight or tomorrow. :glasses:

Wait a sec...what? EHHHH?  :?

Random appearance of Evil Sayu.  :sweat:

I'll probably put up part 10 before I go to sleep.

At any rate, here's part 10! Enjoy!

--------------------------------------

10


I walked thoughtfully down the hallway. Konno graduated... Makoto was about to... it was so surreal. I really never thought they'd go before I would.
"You do realize she's in love with you." I paused in my journey. That sounded like Makoto.
"What is this all about?" And that sounded like Miki. I started to walk towards the pair when a door shut suddenly.

It's horrible, I know, but I couldn't help myself. I leaned against the door to listen.

"....to know what your intentions are," Makoto was saying.

"What are you, her father?! It's none of your business."

"You weren't here. You didn't see what that mess with Goto did to her." Were they talking about me? What was Makoto think... wait, did Makoto just tell Miki I was in love with her!?

"That was different. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon and I wouldn't wait a month to tell her if I was."

"You're right it is different. She wasn't in love with Goto. She's in love with you."

"Why do you keep saying that? You have no way of knowing what goes on in someone's head." Miki sounded flustered.

"I've known her for five years. I can tell."

"Whatever. What do you want from me?"

"I want your assurance that you're not going to break her heart."

"Fine," Miki sighed. "I have no intention of breaking the fair Yoshizawa's heart. Happy?" I could hear Makoto sigh.

"I don't know why I bothered."

"She's stronger than you think."

"She's more sensitive than you think." I'm more sneaky than they think, that's for sure. The door knob started to turn. Oh, shit.

"Makoto, wait," Miki called.

"What?"

"... I can tell you this much. I would never do anything to intentionally hurt her," Miki said quietly. She sounded very uncomfortable. This was ridiculous. I knocked on the door.

"I'm coming in," I announced. I opened the door with a grin. "Miki! What a surprise! Makoto, can I talk to you?" Miki looked at me very carefully.

"I'll leave you two alone," she said before making her escape. I leaned my head out the door and watched her leave. As soon as she was out of sight, I slammed the door shut.

"Yoshiza-"

"Makoto. What. The. Hell." Her eyes widened. I'm not sure if she'd ever seen me angry before.

"What?!"

"I heard you! What do you think you're doing? I'm a grown woman and I can take care of myself. My relationships are of no concern to you."

"You were eavesdropping!?"

"You were talking about me!" I exclaimed. "And how dare you tell Miki that I'm in love with her!"

"Am I wrong?" she said, meeting my eye calmly.

I looked away. How do you answer that? I didn't know. I'd never been in love before. Was this it? All I knew was I always wanted to see her, be with her, be near her. ...man, I've heard that damn "Anata ni Aitai" song too much.

"That's what I thought," Makoto said softly before slipping out of the room and leaving me alone with my thoughts.

Well, Mako HAS known Yossi longer. She was there during the Maki aftermath. As her friend and resident fangirl (and probably because she was to graduate soon), she just wants to know that Miki will be good to Yossi.

Gah. I was on a roll and then I wrote part 14 and now my brain is going "'kay, now what?"  :banghead:

Anyway, here's part 11. Maybe I'll get inspiration from comments!

-------------------------

11


I later apologized to Makoto for yelling at her. I knew she was just trying to help and misguided though it was, her heart was in the right place.

I never told Miki I'd overheard that. Maybe I should do that one of these days. Maybe not. We have too much to talk about as it is without dredging up old conversations.

I really don't get angry much. Some people say it's unhealthy. Some people say it's admirable. I say it's how I am. I don't even remember the last time I was truly angry.

That's not true. I do remember that time very well.

Miki and I hadn't had a day off together in about 2 months. She was so busy with the newly-formed GAM that I really only saw her during our work together. I think the other girls noticed it. They always moved around so Miki and I were standing next to one another, always left us alone during brief dressing room breaks. It was really quite sweet.

I remember that I had some sort of meeting that day and it was canceled last minute, but I don't remember what it was about anymore. I didn't really care. Miki had texted me that morning


Kabutomushi <3
Surprise! Off tomorrow with you!
PV rehearsal w/ Ayaya ends @ 8
Pick me up and maybe get lucky! ^_^
Dance Practice Rm 4.
KISS~!
-A Lonely-at-Night Kuwagata-


I checked my watch. It was only 7:45. I smiled. I'd just peek my head in to let Miki know I was here. I opened the door quietly so I wouldn't disturb anything.

Aya and Miki were the only ones in the room. Aya moved her chair closer to Miki. She was talking quietly and Miki was nodding. Aya reached across and gently lifted Miki's chin up. They made eye contact and both leaned into a kiss.

I honestly don't even remember moving. The next thing I knew, I had grabbed Matsuura by the back of her shirt and dragged her to her feet, knocking over her folding chair in the process. I was shaking with anger. Miki stared at me in shock for a minute before she started laughing.

I suddenly realized what I'd just done and let go of Aya's shirt. Right. We'd never explicitly said that we were... I mean, I hadn't asked specifically, so...

"Sorry. I, um. Sorry." I muttered, turning around to leave.

"Miki!" Aya exclaimed. Miki was lost in her own laughter. Aya sighed in exasperation. "Yoshizawa, wait!" I ignored her. "Yoshizawa!" she grabbed my arm.

"I'm sorry, I was just surprised, that's all," I said, my shaky voice giving away how angry I still was.

"No, you don't understand!" She was waving around a piece of paper. "It's in the script! We were rehearsing, I swear!" I took the paper from her. Sure enough. "MELODIES PROMOTIONAL VIDEO SCRIPT" and at the bottom "[MATSUURA] DRAWS [FUJIMOTO] INTO A KISS". Aya had even scrawled some handwritten notes about nose placement and whether to have open or closed eyes. I sighed with relief, handing the paper back to Aya gratefully.

Wait. Aya. Chair. Dragged by the shirt. Whoops.

"I am so sorry!" I exclaimed to Aya. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, don't worry about it." She waved my concerns away. "But, YOU!" she exclaimed, turning to Miki who had finally stopped laughing and come over to us. "What is wrong with you!?"

"It was just so damn funny! The calm cool Yoshizawa turned into the Incredible Hulk or something," she snickered again. My eyes narrowed.

"Sorry," I said to Aya quickly. She looked puzzled. I made eye contact with Miki and smiled.

Then I grabbed poor Aya around the waist and dipped her backwards, pressing my lips to hers. Aya flailed her arms around for a second before wrapping them around me. We kept this up until I started to feel the Death Glare boring into me. I pulled away from Aya and set her upright before turning to Miki with a smirk.

"Still funny?" I asked.

"Point taken," was her frosty reply.

"Um. I'll leave you all alone now, but, uh," Matsuura cleared her throat and turned to me. "If you two ever break up, um... Call me. Seriously." She walked out of the room a bit unsteadily, fanning herself.

"But, YOU!" she exclaimed, turning to Miki who had finally stopped laughing and come over to us. "What is wrong with you!?"

"It was just so damn funny! The calm cool Yoshizawa turned into the Incredible Hulk or something," she snickered again. My eyes narrowed.

"Sorry," I said to Aya quickly. She looked puzzled. I made eye contact with Miki and smiled.

Then I grabbed poor Aya around the waist and dipped her backwards, pressing my lips to hers. Aya flailed her arms around for a second before wrapping them around me. We kept this up until I started to feel the Death Glare boring into me.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh...payback! It's only fair, mind you. If Miki gets to kiss Aya then Yossi should too.  :pimp: 

It must have been weird for Aya, suddenly being caught in the middle of this "quasi-couple" moment, but it looked like she got used to it quickly.  8)


Quote
I pulled away from Aya and set her upright before turning to Miki with a smirk.

"Still funny?" I asked.

"Point taken," was her frosty reply.
It's also only fair that Miki be made jealous once in a while too, instead of it always being Yossi. :twisted:

"Um. I'll leave you all alone now, but, uh," Matsuura cleared her throat and turned to me. "If you two ever break up, um... Call me. Seriously." She walked out of the room a bit unsteadily, fanning herself.
Ehhhh? Did she just say what I think she... :o

Dayum.  :drool:

Wow the timeline is going by so quickly.  Aya in a romance movie type kiss with Mr. Moonlight. :lol:  Wasn't it great that she had so much practise holding the ladies?

Ehehehehe.  (Yossi can use me to make Miki jealous ANYTIME....so long as she protects me from death afterwards.) :drool:

Ayaya's reaction to that kiss was a.... what?  30 minute phone call while I was driving home?  Something like that. 

I think you actually had me almost in tears from laughing so hard a time or two, almond.  :mon lmao:  That was, what? The fifth or six version of that idea?  I dunno, I'm close.

I *do* think that line is truly the best ever, though. 

EDIT:  Correction.  Best line to that moment. Can't make a judgment about any and all future lines which I may or may not have knowledge of.  :glasses:

Hey cut me some slack. You keep updating so fast that I'm bound to misstep once in a while :P

So terribly sorry! Now that I've finished writing it, I'll just update reeeeeeally slowly.  :ding:

A lot of people seem to like that Aya bit, huh?

LOL! Mr. Moonlight just randomly came on my iTunes.
But, yeah, the story is going to pick up pace again. Especially since it demanded to get out of my head. Maybe I'll add some fluff later, but I doubt it at this point.

I don't even remember. I think I had Aya grabbing Yossi's ass and sauntering out at one point, though.

Anyway! I JUST finished the fic, so yay! It has 18 parts. Whoo~

I'll put up 12 in a second here.

Allrighty, this is a short part, so enjoy. This is the beginning of the end so to speak.

---------------------

12

Like I've said, I don't really do angry much. But numb! Now numb I have down to an art form.

It's amazing how well I can function while numb inside. I can smile and joke at work, be charming and polite, and get home at the end of the day having no idea what I've spent the hours doing.

I knocked on her door and hoped she was home. It was pretty late, so she should be. I wasn't sure how I'd even gotten there. The last thing I remember were those words.

"And, so, we've decided to graduate you from the group at the end of the spring tour."

Graduate. I never thought I was next. Leaders usually stay around for years and years. I honestly was expecting Takahashi or even Miki to be next. Not me. Never me.

"Just a minute!" I heard her call out. Good, she was home.

I wondered if this would mean the end of my relationship. I wondered what I was going to do if it did. Could I go back to a life without Miki? Maybe we could move in together. A nice two-bedroom to appease our managers. Then we could at least see one another for a few hours each night. When did my lease end again? I could afford to pay the penalty but didn't really want to do that.

My first thought after I left the meeting had been to come here and see her. I had to see her. I had to talk to her. Whether I wanted to do this or not, I knew I had to talk to her.

The door opened.

"Hey!" she said, surprised.

"Hey," I said quietly. "Can I come in?"

"Uh, sure!" she replied, ushering me in. "Excuse the mess. I just got back from a photoshoot."

I nodded distractedly as I stepped into Goto Maki's apartment for the first time in four years.

Damn, now Yossi's in the same position Maki was in when she was graduated while they were going out.  Yossi's probably lost and scared (and, as she herself said, mentally/emotionally numb right now), and needs to talk to someone who has gone through this already.

13


I looked around the familiar room. It hadn't changed much since I was here last. Actually, the last time I'd been on this couch I'd gotten her bra off without her noticing. I inadvertently started smiling at the memory.

"Yeah, it's been a while since you've been here, huh?" I nodded. "So, what's wrong?" I looked at her in surprise. "Please, you haven't changed THAT much," she laughed.

"I'm graduating in May," Maki's eyes widened.

"Wow. That's weird. I didn't expect them to graduate you already."

"Yeah, me either."

"Are you seeing someone?"

"Oh! I'm not trying to - I mean, the reason I came here wasn't to rekindle anything or - " I protested.

"I know that!" she laughed. "I just ask because that's part of why they graduated me."

"...what?"

"Oh, yeah, I guess I never did tell you that. My graduation wasn't supposed to be for another year or so, but somehow they found out about us and, well, sped it up."

"You should have told me."

"Yeah, there are a lot of things I should have done." She shrugged. "It wouldn't have changed anything anyway."

"What should you have done?"

"What do you mean?"

"I just... you screwed up. We both know that. But... I don't know what to do. So, what should you have done? What should I do?"

Maki sat there and studied me thoughtfully.

"Just tell her. Knowing you, you'll probably try to ease into it, but..." she shook her head. "just tell her. With Miki the way she is, she'll tell you exactly what she thinks. If she wants to work through it or break up or whatever, she'll tell you immediately. I can't really see her giving you up that easily, anyway."

"Who told you it was Miki?" Maki shook her head.

"You can be really dense sometimes, you know that? Miki's not exactly subtle. She's been staring at you since she got here. Sometimes you couldn't even hold a conversation with that girl when you were in the room."

"Damn, I must have been better than I thought," I muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing." I sighed. "Just tell her, huh? Do you have any idea how hard that'll be?"

"Just an inkling," she replied dryly.

"Sorry."

"It's fine. It's ancient history. But, uh... you know, if you two do break up, feel free to call me."

"Thanks. That means a..." I looked up. She was grinning. "You, uh, you don't mean to talk."

"Well, I'm sure some talking would be involved," she purred.

"That's it, I'm leaving," I said, standing up. Maki started laughing.

"I'm just teasing you. Well, mostly."

"What is it with people lately? Aya's all but propositioning me every time we meet, Sayumi's hanging all over me calling me her prince, I can't even get onstage without being molested by someone, and I'm pretty damn sure that Takahashi grabbed my ass on purpose during filming the other day."

"Hmm, let's see. You're charming, you're funny, you're a huge flirt, your job requires you to wear skimpy outfits and gyrate around a stage, and, oh yeah, you're infinitely doable."

"'Infinitely doable'?" Maki looked thoughtful.

"Would 'bangable' have been a better word choice?" she asked as she walked with me over to the door.

"We always have the strangest conversations," I laughed.

"That's for damn sure." She paused. "Seriously, though, just tell her. If it's meant to be, it'll all work out." I nodded.

"Thanks." She opened the door.

"No problem. Now go, my flittering pimp, go!" she exclaimed, smacking me on the ass before shutting the door behind me.

------------------------------

Sorry for the weird chapter.  :lol:

Really? Did Maki find about this right away, or was it something she was told later on?

So the theory now is that somehow the management found out about Yossi & Miki being together, and thus graduated Yossi to split them up. That's just lame.

Having been in a similar situation/relationship (also with Yossi, nonetheless), Maki knows the signs to look for.

Well, after Yossi graduates, it'd be much MUCH easier for them now, wouldn't it? First Aya, now Maki. It's not entirely surprising, mind you, Yossi IS totally smokin! :twisted: :pimp:

Title: Re: memoir [14th Fic-tion]
Post by: almond on July 18, 2007, 01:08:53 AM
AAAH! MY FIRST WEDGE!  :luvluv2:

------------------------

14

I've found myself thinking about that night over and over again recently. If I had said something differently, would I even be sitting here writing this? Would Miki still have done what she did? Try though I might, I still cannot figure her completely out. Sometimes I just do not know what motivates her to do things.

When I got home, I found Miki standing next to the window, the city lights gently illuminating her face.

"Welcome home," she said without turning around.

"Thanks," I put my things down and walked towards her. "How did you get in here?"

"Oh, I stole your keys last week and made myself a copy," she replied. I smiled and shook my head.

"You're incorrigible, you know that?" I walked over to her and put my arms around her waist. She didn't say anything and just leaned back into me. She reached her hand up and gently caressed my face.

Something was wrong.

"Did you wait long?" I asked, uncertain of how to proceed. She shook her head.

"Not really. I came here after work. I had a last-minute meeting and then came straight here. Where've you been?"

"I had to talk to Maki about something," I replied. She nodded again.

"I thought you might." I turned her around to face me. She wouldn't meet my eye.

"Miki." I tipped her chin up until our eyes met. She was tired, defiant, raw. "They told you, didn't they?" She pulled away from me.

"Oh, that's right! I'm supposed to congratulate you!" she said, clasping her hands together. "Yocchan~ Congratulations!" she said in her fake cutesy voice.

"Don't do this."

We both fell silent and stared at the floor. The clock on my wall ticked loudly.

"I don't want to lose you," she finally said softly. I looked up. She hadn't moved at all. It was almost as if she'd never spoken.

"Then you won't," I replied, striding over to her. "We'll figure something out. We'll make it work. I promise." I put my arms around her.

"Can I sleep here tonight?" she asked, her hands clutching the back of my shirt.

"Of course!"

"I mean, literally, just sleep," she said looking up at me. I smiled.

"I will do my best not to ravage you in the middle of the night," I said solemnly.

She fell asleep quickly. I laid there with my arms around her, listening to her breathe, thinking about what I'd just promised. Before I realized it, I had fallen asleep.

Looking back now, I do wonder if I should have ended it. If that would have been better in the long run. But, then I remember the feel of her in my arms that night. How fragile she seemed, how vulnerable. And I realize that ending it wasn't an option.

I awoke suddenly. Miki wasn't beside me.

"Miki?" I called sleepily. I heard a low laugh and sat straight up in bed. She was sitting at the edge of the bed watching me. "Miki, what in the... where are my pants?!" She laughed.

"Oh, you won't need those for a while, so I took the liberty of removing them for you," she replied, slowly making her way over to me.

"I thought you wanted to sleep!"

"I did sleep. But I never said anything about not ravaging you in the middle of the night." She was now straddling me and looked immensely pleased with herself.

"I take it you're feeling better, then?" I asked. Her grin faded and she nodded.

"Yeah," she took a deep breath and looked me straight in the eye. "Yossi, I l-" she stopped and looked away. "I - um, that is,  I'll never forget this. Thank you."

"What were you-?" She pressed her lips against mine and my question went unasked, unanswered, and eventually forgotten.

------------------------------

Yeah, I nicknamed this part SuperAngstMiki. New from Mattel.

Yeah, the Yossi graduation conflict is basically the centerpiece of the end story.

And, no, they haven't said "I love you" yet. Because they're retarded. And I like them that way.  :k-thrilled:

Nope. Not yet. You'll know when she does.  :wahaha:

15

Did you try to tell me once, Miki? I find myself wondering that now. Did you try to tell me? When did it start anyway? Was it when my brother died? I remember how much you wanted to help me. How you couldn't understand how I could be at work after that. How you didn't say a word and just held me when I finally broke down. How I fell asleep crying and woke up with your arms still around me.

That was when I knew. I was pretty sure before, but when I woke up in your arms, still exhausted from my grief, I knew. Makoto was right. I was completely in love with you. And I had been for some time.

What would you have done if I'd told you that, Miki? Would it have changed anything? Would you have told me then? Would it never have happened in the first place?

Why am I all of a sudden writing like she's going to read this? Who the hell am I expecting to answer these questions anyway?

I remember those last few happy months. When it was "Dad, Mom, and the kids". I remember how in Hawaii, Aika was the one to finally explain to Koharu was "leader time" meant.

When we got back, it was a whirlwind. Our schedules never matched up anymore. I had solo appearances to promote my graduation. Miki was either recording the GAM album, rehearsing for the tour, or just plain exhausted. And my graduation day was looming.

But we had a long weekend off coming up after the tour. Three glorious days off together to spend doing everything and nothing and anything in between.

And then it happened.

"So, we'll need you to fill in for Tsuji," my manager said finally.

"Because she has a tummy ache?" I asked incredulously.

"It's a bit more complicated than that, but basically you're going to be covering her role in the play." I sighed and nodded.

"Ok. When will I have time for rehearsal? My schedule's pretty full as it is."

"Well, we're going to have to switch some things around. Your post-concert break is going to be moved back a week so you can attend the rehearsals with Ishikawa."

"Wait, my long weekend after the concert?"

"Right. I'm sorry, but this is the only way."

"Ok. I understand," I replied. My manager smiled and walked away - going to report the good news, I suppose. Like I could really refuse anyway. Now I just had to break the news to Miki.


"You're breaking our date?" she mock-pouted.

"Miki, I'm not in the mood," I said shortly. She put her arms around my neck.

"Hey, what's wrong? It's fine, we'll just reschedule." One of her hands started to wander. "Or we'll just have a few quickies now and then," she grinned.

"There is no reschedule anymore!" I exclaimed, stepping away from her. "Don't you understand? This is how it will be now. You'll be busy leading the group and doing GAM and who knows what else. I'll be doing plays and TV appearances and will never see you except at futsal practice."

"What are you saying?" she asked in a strange voice.

"I'm saying...!" I sighed. "I don't know. I'm just tired and stressed out, Miki."

"You take all of this way too seriously. You're an idol for crying out loud. Relax."

"Not this again."

"It's true! Yossi, the world will not end if you miss practice. It will not end if you say 'I can't do that'. If you keep on like this, something is going to snap and I think it might be you."

"I really do not want to have this conversation right now." I looked at my watch. "Crap, I've gotta go." I started for the door.

"See you later?" I paused and walked back to her.

"I'm sorry," I said, pulling her into a hug. "I know you're just worried, but it'll be ok. I promised that we'd figure something out, right?" I pulled back and smiled at her. She stared at me for a minute before nodding.

"Right. Figure something out."

----------------------------------

Ok, I'm going to go hide at work now. Hopefully I have comments and haven't been killed when I get home.

Miki never said "I love you" to Yossie, despite banging so much? xD! What kind of love is thiiiis?! xD! xD! xD!
She may not have said it, but from her behaviour (especially recently) with Yossi, we all know that she felt it.  :love:


Ok, I'm almost hesitant to post the next few parts 'cause this is how I think it'll go.

Did you try to tell me once, Miki? I find myself wondering that now. Did you try to tell me? When did it start anyway? Was it when my brother died? I remember how much you wanted to help me. How you couldn't understand how I could be at work after that. How you didn't say a word and just held me when I finally broke down. How I fell asleep crying and woke up with your arms still around me.
Is she asking if Miki ever told her that she loved her? Miki's more a person of action. This little bit here that Yossi refers to is a clear example of how Miki may not "tell" you, but rather "shows" you how she feels.

Miki definitely sounds like she wants and is willing to make it work out with Yossi. This is yet another indication of how strongly she feels/cares for Yossi. Once Yossi graduates, as she said it's going to continue to be increasingly difficult for them to find time to be together. For Miki to want to put forth this added effort for them to be together shows that Yossi's worth it.  :wub:

Very true, but no, that's not what Yossi's referring to. She's referring to something that hasn't happened yet at this point in her narrative.

Oh dude, you're not gonna have them break up, are you???  :mon cry:
They are gonna break up right?  :prayers:

I can't tell you all that! It would ruin the suspense!

----------------------------------

16

Finally, my part in the play was almost over. I was furious with Tsuji when I found out exactly why I had to fill in for her. But, I can never stay mad at that girl for long. Besides, she seemed so happy.

But Miki and I finally had a day off together coming up. Only one day. One glorious day. She was supposed to come over to my place at 8 am sharp.

It was that last day off before my final stretch of performances when I got the message from her. I couldn't find my cell phone charger and the battery was about to go dead. I flipped it open and saw only two words.

"Trust me."

What the hell was she talking about? Had she sent me that by mistake? And why was she texting me this late? I had just started to reply when the battery went completely dead. Great. Now I had to go buy a new charger. Or a new phone.

I shrugged and headed off to bed. I'd get her to explain when we met up in a few days.


I really should have slept forever. Or at least never turned on the TV. I should have just gone straight to the theatre and straight home.

"And our next story is a fresh new scandal in the popular girl group Morning Musume." I paused and turned to the TV incredulously. Geez, Tsuji's knocked up by Ultraman and now this? "Friday magazine has published photographs of group leader Fujimoto Miki!"

I dropped my breakfast, plate and all. Did someone get photographs of me and Miki? How did they manage that? We were so careful...

"Reportedly, Fujimoto recently went on a three-day-long date with comedian Tomoharu Shouji."

Shouji? That fruitcake Tomoharu Shouji?! The guy who had a dog licking stuff off him on TV Tomoharu Shouji!?

"Here are the photographs that were released this morning. I don't know, it looks like it might be her!"

I wanted to throw up. That was definitely her. She was wearing my hat.

---------------------------------

I'm gonna go, uh, hide from JFC and his shiny shiny knife now.

Miki's obviously got a plan. Question is, a plan for what? I have a feeling I know what it is (considering the events that happened around this time), but I'm keeping my mouth shut, lest almond be compelled to write yet another half-dozen chapters. :P

This is part of Miki's plan to be with Yossi, right? Miki's just good friends with Shouji here, and she got him to agree to stage this whole thing, knowing that she'd get booted from the group, thus allowing her and Yossi to be together, right?? This is Miki being Miki, and she's telling the management that she's choosing Yossi over being in MM and that she rabu-rabu's her and that they can just go fuck themselves, right? RIGHT???  :mon cute:

"Trust me"

What the hell. What the hell. What the hell.

"Trust me"

How could you do this to me, Miki? How could you make me promise to stay with you and then go screw some comedian?

"Trust me"

How could you be stupid enough to get caught?

"Trust me"

Maybe this had been going on for a while. Maybe he wasn't the first.

"Trust me"

And what did she mean by that damn text message? Trust her? After this? How am I supposed to trust her?

"Trust me"

I thought maybe it was a mistake. That they were just hanging out... for three days. Our three days. Until Nono decided to screw Ultraman and get pregnant.

"Trust me"

I wanted to, Miki. I wanted to trust you so much. I had convinced myself it was a misunderstanding. That they were so desperate they had photoshopped you in.

"Trust me"

Then I heard you on the radio. You admitted everything. You said the article was true.

"Trust me"

How can I trust you after this? How can I trust anyone after this?

Damn you, Makoto. You were right. I can't do this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Yoshizawa Hitomi slammed her notebook shut and prompty threw her pen across the room.

"Drop something?" Startled, Yossi turned her head.

Miki was standing in the doorway holding the pen.

And shit, everything up until now has been Yossi's thoughts as she remembered her relationship with Miki and how it started and developed. NOW we're "in the present" so to speak, where Miki's scandal has JUST broke, and Yossi's just...lost. :cry:

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

1-II

Honestly, I'm not sure how we've ended up like this. Sometimes I don't even recognize you anymore. How could that uncertain, adorable tomboy turn into the confident, sexy woman you've become? I'm trying to remember how we got here so that maybe I'll know what to expect when I see you. So that maybe I can understand how to make you understand.

God, I'm such a sap when it comes to you.

I'm a sucker for a cute face. Always have been and probably always will be. I hope you realize I fully blame you for this.

Why the hell was I in that damn closet anyway? I was such a retard back then. I mean, seriously, what was up with those random colored contacts?

I remember I was pissed off. At myself for not making it into the finals. At the damn door for not opening. At those stupid boxes for falling on top of me.

"Uh... excuse me? Are you all right?" I heard a voice call from outside. RESCUE!

"Actually, I could probably use a hand," I replied, embarrassed that I was going to be seen stuck in a closet under a bunch of stupid boxes. The door opened and a girl stuck her head in. You blinked several times in surprise. SO CUTE! Your face of wide-eyed innocence with those chubby cheeks begging to be pinched. Even now, when I think about it, I want to track you down and pinch your cheeks. ...actually, I think I have done that on more than one occasion... but that's neither here nor there.

You opened your mouth to speak. I expected a girlish giggle, for you to delicately tell me that you'd go for some big strong man to help. I obviously had no idea who I was dealing with.

"What the hell happened to you?" you exclaimed, stepping inside and cooly surveying the damage.

"I was a bit upset that I didn't make the finals, so I came in here to cool off a bit," I replied distractedly. You were picking the boxes up off of me and the menial task was showing off your upper arm strength quite nicely. I remember thinking that this girl might have the face of an angel, but she could probably kick my ass if she wanted to.

"And then you, what, punched the shelving unit?" you asked as though this was the most logical explanation. I laughed.

"Not exactly. The door in here latches itself and I couldn't get out," I explained, still staring. I couldn't decide if I wanted more to touch those muscles or pinch your face.

"So you just wanted out of the closet and decided to, what, climb the shelves to freedom?" I swatted at you, but hadn't gotten up yet, so it was rather pitiful.

"Well, what would you do if that door shut," I said defensively. "And you... uh..." I looked at said door. Which was now shut again. Which meant I was trapped in here with my new target. The day was suddenly looking up.

"...well, shit," you said, making me briefly wonder if you could read my mind.


I remember every moment of that afternoon. How I talked about not giving up even after being rejected again, how you talked about making your mom worry if you missed your train.

You started suddenly and ran over to the door. Then shook your head and turned back to me. I'm guessing your foot got caught on something, because next thing I knew, you were on top of me.

I know, how lucky can I get.

This was my chance. I reached up to pinch your temptingly adorable face when you grabbed my hand, just a breath away from your face. Our eyes met.

Then you kissed me.

We were both new at it. It was kind of sloppy and our noses bashed more than once. I mean, we were two horny teenagers for crying out loud. But all the same... I'd never been kissed like that before.

I had always been the initiator, the conqueror, the pursuer. I'd never felt so overwhelmingly desired as I did in that moment as your lips desperately sought, your hands possessively roamed.

Then, it was like a light bulb went off in our brains. We pulled apart and just stared at one another. You started to turn bright red and I busied myself looking at my hands.

"Um." The door suddenly opened and some old geezer stepped inside. I could feel my face start to color and I just had to get out of there.

"FINALLY!" I said dramatically before bolting down the hallway, leaving you standing there.


When I finally got home, I couldn't stop thinking about you. About the intensity in your eyes. About the softness in your touch. About the passion in your kiss.

I religiously taped Asayan every day, praying you'd make it onto the show. Then one day, there you were on my television. Yoshizawa Hitomi. 

God, I'm such a sap when it comes to you.

2-II

I could say I remembered that kiss every day, but that'd be a load of crap.

I mean, seriously, what sort of loser obsess over a single make out session every day of their life?

Oh, but I did think about it. Though I'd definitely had more experienced kissing partners, the sheer desire and intensity of that one time outweighed them all.

When I got that phone call, I thought it was a joke. "Come to Tokyo," they'd said. "Work in the office and prepare for a solo debut."

It took me all of about 10 seconds to decide.



It was my last day of office work when I finally saw you. I had my first show taping the next day and was just finishing up an errand.

"Fujimoto!" my manager called. I walked over with a smile. "Have you met Goto Maki?"

"Not formally! I'm Fujimoto Miki. It's a pleasure to meet you," I said politely as my manager was called away.

"You as well," Goto replied with a smile. "I heard you're doing office work to prepare for your debut?"

"Yeah, my first taping is tomorrow." I was really trying hard to be on my best behavior and had succeeded so far, I thought.

"Well, good luck with that! I remember my first taping..." Goto kept talking, but my brain stopped functioning.

There you were, chatting casually with Yasuda Kei. In a freaking suit no less, with your hair pulled back into a boyish ponytail. You looked over at me and smiled. Did you remember? Did you recognize me? You looked so freaking hot, I just wanted to grab you, throw you down on the nearest flat service, climb on top of you, and just-

"FUJIMOTO!" I jumped. Goto Maki was staring at me, looking very pissed off.

"I'm so sorry, I just zoned out for a minute there." I smiled charmingly. "You know how it is when you get no sleep."

"You seemed more zoned in than zoned out," Goto replied, her eyes narrowing a bit. I raised an eyebrow.

"So what if I was?" I challenged.

"HEY! MAKI!" We both stopped and turned to look at you. "C'mon, it's time to start. Stop trying to get into character with that office girl and let's GO." Maki grinned and ran over. She smirked at me and followed you into the studio.

"I'd break your nose, but it looks like someone beat me to it," I muttered to myself before going back to work.

----------------------------------------

Before I get murdered, I'd like to say that I adore Goto and think she's hot as hell.

From the way Miki describes how Yossi's dressed, this takes place when they're filming the "Mr. Moonlight" PV.

From the way Miki describes how Yossi's dressed, this takes place when they're filming the "Mr. Moonlight" PV.

*dohz*  :mon huh:

No time to reply to each lovely comment, but, yes Maki's hot, it was the Mr Moonlight PV shoot, and I lurve you all  :love:

Ok, here we go!

----------------------------------------

3-II


I've only ever told one other person about you. Anyone else just kind of happened upon us. You were like my secret - it seemed more special if I was the only one holding that knowledge. But damn if you didn't piss me off when you kept ignoring me, acting like you'd never laid eyes on me before much less literally laid on me.

"What is wrong with you today?" Aya asked, turning the movie off. I groaned and leaned back on the couch.

"Just stupid stuff," I replied. "What did you want to do now?" She looked thoughtful.

"Truth or Dare!"

"Are you serious? I always kick your ass at Dare," I laughed.

"That's true. How about The Ayaya and Mikitty Q&A Session Extravaganza?"

"Is this a new Hello! Morning segment I don't know about?"

"I'm serious!" Aya complained, swatting my leg. "You never tell me anything."

"Fine. Ask away and I'll answer, but keep in mind that I can do the same to you."

"Fine!"

....

"Aya?"

"I'm thinking!" I rolled my eyes. "Ok! Who's your least favorite person we work with?"

"Yoshizawa Hitomi," I glowered. Aya looked shocked.

"Really?! I've never had any problems with her. She's a bit weird, but... huh. What'd she ever do to you?"

"I never said anything about follow-up questions being ok." Aya stuck her tongue out at me.

"Uhhh... Oh! How did you ever get Goto to stop being so mad at you?"

"I made out with her," I replied cooly. Aya burst out laughing.

"Are you serious? When?"

"After that Utaban appearance. We shared a cab and I convinced her to share more than that."

"You are such an ass!"

"Yep," I replied, taking the opportunity to grab Aya's breast.

"Have you ever had sex?" she asked, ignoring my busy hands. Party pooper.

"Nope."

"How-"

"Have you?" I asked. She blushed.

"Not exactly."

"What the hell does that mean?"

"Hey! No follow up questions!" she said so defensively I couldn't help but laugh. "Who was your first kiss? No! Scratch that, those are always boring. Who was your first make-out session with?"

"Oh look!" I exclaimed, sitting up. "There's a television! Let's watch the television, Aya!"

"Mikiiii," she scolded.

"Do I hafta?" I whined.

"Yes."

"Maaaaaaaaaaaan," I groaned.

"What are you, five? Out with it!"

"Fine! It was Yoshizawa! Happy?" Aya stared at me with her mouth hanging open so wide that it gave me a sneaking suspicion what that 'not exactly' had meant.

"You're KIDDING! I'd heard she was a player, but how did she get you so fast?"

"No follow up questions!"

"Uh-uh! That demands explanation!" I made a face.

"Remember how I auditioned for Morning Musume.?" Aya nodded. "Well, I made it to the semi-finals and, well, long story short, I got myself locked in a closet with Yoshizawa."

"That's insane!" she exclaimed. "So you jumped her in typical Fujimoto fashion?"

"Nooooo, not exactly. She, uh, kinda..." I could feel my cheeks flushing at the memory. "Um, made the first move, I guess?"

"Someone out Miki'd Miki!?"

"You suck."

"Wow. So, what, you got here and she's all 'whatever'? Is that why you can't stand her?" My eyes narrowed.

"She hasn't said a word. Acts like she's never seen me before. She's had her hand up my skirt and acts like I'm a complete stranger."

"Maybe she doesn't remember?" I rolled my eyes.

"Please. No one's that dense." We fell into silence as I stared moodily out the window.

"Sorry," Aya said finally.

"I'm bored," I replied.

"Want to make out again?" she asked. I shrugged.

"Sure, why not."

Really? She actually told someone else about how she liked Yossi? :?

...

Must be Aya.

That's probably because when Miki dares Aya, it's probably something either ecchi, evil, or otherwise inappropriate.

MAN I would have loved to see that as an H!M segment! XD

"Yoshizawa Hitomi," I glowered. Aya looked shocked.

"Really?! I've never had any problems with her. She's a bit weird, but... huh. What'd she ever do to you?"
Okay, if Miki DID tell Aya, this part of the conversation obviously takes place before that happens.  As Miki herself stated, she's frustrated that she's got these warm and fuzzy feelings for Yossi, yet Yossi can't seem to give Miki the time of day. Mind you, Miki doesn't know that Yossi has absolutely NO idea that she's the same girl that she made out with in that closet during their auditions.

NOICE! Bravo Mikitty! :rockon:

I don't know what's more interesting, the fact that Miki's got a handful of Ayaboob or the fact that Aya appears to be completely ignoring it.  O0

"Not exactly."

"What the hell does that mean?"

EEEHHHHH?? :o

"Fine! It was Yoshizawa! Happy?"
Whoa, there you go. The cat's out of the bag. :yep:  Though considering the vibe that their questions have had up to this point, it shouldn't be that surprising to Miki. Aya likely would have asked this question sooner or later.

Aya stared at me with her mouth hanging open so wide that it gave me a sneaking suspicion what that 'not exactly' had meant.
OH BURN!!!  :shock:

The pic is from Sexy 8 Beat concert XD And no, it's not photoshopped. Lucky those who were able to see that on the  concert :drool:  I think I saw it also in Yossi's Official Picture Thread.

Sorry to keep you all waiting. I'm cutting back on how hyperactively frequent my updates are, so I won't be posting 5-II until tomorrow after work at the earliest.

-----------------------------------

4-II


I distinctly remember standing in the hallway for about 20 minutes. I was not looking forward to this conversation, but it had to be done.

I knocked softly on your door. I think I was secretly hoping you were a heavy sleeper so I could run off. No such luck. The door opened almost immediately.

"For the last freaking time," you groaned, looking up at the ceiling. "I do not want to go for a damn run. Yes, I like being the token chunky one, and no, I don't want to talk about it. Ok?" I blinked several times.

"Good to know," I finally replied, wondering if you were on some sort of medication. You startled and looked down at me.

"Um, you're not Yaguchi." No, really? Do I look like a bleach-blonde midget?

"Nope."

"It's been a while. How've you been, Fujimoto?" How've I been? Since when? Since Kouhaku or since you made me feel like the most desirable woman on the planet or since you've been ignoring me?

"Just dandy," I replied. I stood there, waiting to be invited in.

"...can I help you with something? It's like 5 am," you said finally. I looked you up and down, a realization dawning on me. I mean, I knew you'd been wearing baggier clothes and all, but looking at you in your little tank top and pajama pants combination, it was apparent that something funky was going on.

"Damn, when did you stop caring? Last time I saw you, you were hot," I blurted out without thinking. I know. Me, talking without thinking. Shocker.

"...ok, good night," you replied, starting to shut the door. Dammit. I stuck my arm out to block the door.

"Sorry, wait."

"What?" you sighed dramatically.

"Can I come in and talk to you for a minute?" You groaned and opened the door, mock bowing as I walked by. I walked over to your couch and sat down on it. I studied your face, trying to figure out what could have gotten you to this state. There was an air of defeat about you, like the world was against you and you'd given up fighting. I shook my head to clear my thoughts. Concentrate, Miki!

"Well, there's something you should know," I said at last.

"Ok?"

"It was just decided yesterday that I'd be joining Morning Musume. along with whoever wins the audition," I explained.

"...well, shit," you replied, sitting down next to me. I lifted my head and stared at you. You *did* remember, you jackass! Why else would you say those same words to me?

"Exactly," I said carefully. "We have some... issues to discuss." You stared at me like I was speaking in ancient Greek. "...you know?"

"I honestly have no idea what you are talking about," you said at last. My jaw dropped in shock. You could not be serious. Were you having some sort of sleep-deprived memory lapse? Did you just not remember the incident at all?

"Are you serious?" I asked.

"Uh, yes?" You looked even more confused. "Ok, you cannot look like that. You dragged ME out of bed at the crackass of dawn and then started being all mysterious about some 'issue'. Could I at least get a hint?" A hint? You want a hint? Fine! Here's your damn hint.

I unceremoniously grabbed you and kissed you. Hard.

I could tell you were surprised, but that quickly faded. You returned the kiss and had started to push back against me, when suddenly you pulled away and jumped too your feet. I looked up at you. There it was. Your eyes were darting around nervously, but in them was that same desire from so many years ago.

Advantage: Miki.

"I, um, I don't, uh, quite know what that was about, but if this is about your, uh," you were babbling. I was distracted and didn't listen. You obviously did not remember that day or somehow just hadn't figured out it was me or was just a completely dense dumbass. Or all three. But I didn't care because there were more pressing matters at hand.

Mainly the fact that your shirt strap had slipped off your shoulder and was giving me quite a fantastic view of your right breast. I couldn't help it. A smirk slowly spread across my face as I blatantly ogled the free show presenting itself.

Then my little peep show was gone. You had apparently noticed and moved your shirt back into place and even went as far as to cover your chest with a couch pillow. I laughed. Like a freaking pillow could stop me.

"Ok, then, well, sorry to bother you," I snickered, making my way over to the door.

"What?"

"Nevermind," I replied, smiling. I wasn't mad anymore. You seriously did not remember. And that look in your eyes... I had a chance again. I paused, my hand resting on the doorknob. "Oh, and I'm sorry about earlier. I was wrong. You may not care anymore, but you're still hot." You turned bright red as I sauntered out of the apartment, waving nonchalantly to a very confused and curious Yaguchi Mari on my way down the hall.

Ah, so Miki actually really wanted to get things "out in the open" so to speak.  After that conversation with Aya, I wonder if maybe Miki started to wonder if Yossi may have, in fact, forgotten about the closet incident. Either that, or maybe she just wanted to be up front with Yossi and let her know how she felt about it herself.

Thank God someone finally replied. I was starting to think that 4-II was TOTAL crap.  :badluck:
JFC :wub:

Anyway, here's 5-II.

----------------------------------


5-II


Of course, then it was on.

Now that I wasn't pissed off at you anymore, I was determined to get you. The more I pursued, the more you demured. The less I pursued, the more you stared at me. I wanted to grab you and say "Ok. I know you want me. What the hell is your problem? Don't make me get out the handcuffs!" Basically, I was in predator Miki mode.

...if I ever get another solo single, I so want it named "Predator Ukare Mode".

My pursuit of you varied depending on my mood. Sometimes, I just absentmindedly brushed my hand against whatever random body part was closest and/or most private. Other times, I'd put on a full attack and watch gleefully as you squirmed.

Honestly, knowing what I do now about you and Maki, I kind of feel bad. Not enough to have not done it, of course, but I do kind of feel bad.

I do think that my favorite attack on you was in Hawaii. though. I'm laughing out loud in the taxi right now just thinking about it. The driver's looking at me strangely. What the hell's your problem, jackass? I'll laugh if I damn well want to. Just drive the car.

Where was I? Oh, right, Hawaii.

You had a single room that trip and I'd swiped your extra room keycard earlier in the week. We were on the Gumi schedules back then, so I got back to the hotel for the day before you did.

I snuck into your room and waited. I decided hiding in the bathroom would be best in case you had someone else with you at first.

Finally, I heard you come in... alone. Perfect.

I adjusted my bikini top and stretched myself out against the wall in a sexy pose. I heard you move around right outside the door and grinned in anticipation of the fantastic reaction I was going to get. The doorknob turned.

"Fujimoto, WHAT THE HELL?!" you exclaimed. My jaw droped. You were completely nude.

I let my eyes wander all over your exposed skin, wondering how many other people had been privileged enough to see this. I was so flabbergasted, I couldn't even think. "What are you doing in my bathroom?" you interrupted my lack of thought, leaning against the doorjam with your arms crossed. Apparently, flashing a boob bothers you, but full frontal? Not so much.

"I, uh - " Suddenly, you clasped a hand over my mouth. I remember thinking I could die happy right then and there.

"Someone's outside. Don't move. I'll be back," you hissed in my ear, turning me into a puddle of goo. Ah~ My hero, saving me from the evils of the Mysterious Intruder...

Wait, you were going to go after an intruder while you were buttass nekkid?

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?!" I heard you yell.

"YOCCHAN! THAT'S DISGUSTING!" What the hell WAS Kago doing in here?

"'DISGUSTING'? Oh, no you don't! Get back here you little sneak!" I heard the sliding glass door open. "KAGO!" you called. Someone shrieked.

"Yoshizawa! Why are you out here like that!?" someone, I think it was Niigaki, exclaimed.

"I can be naked if I damn well want to! And keep HER out of my room!" The door slammed. "Freaking kids," you muttered as you opened the bathroom door.

"Did you just go out on the balcony naked?" I asked.

"Did you just sneak into my bathroom wearing a bikini?" you countered, shrugging on a bathrobe. Dammit.

"It wasn't so much sneaking as it was breaking and entering," I replied. Your eyes narrowed.

"What is up with you anyway?" you asked, closing in on me. I involuntarily inhaled sharply as you pinned me against the wall between your arms. You leaned down towards me until your mouth was only a breath from mine. "I get it, ok?" you whispered.

"Get what?" I asked innocently. "I have no - " You shook your head and moved back a bit.

"Miki, cut the crap. You've been trying to get in my pants for the better part of a year."

"And?" I replied, raising an eyebrow.

"And," you continued. "I need you to back off."

"I don't really do 'back off'," I replied, making you laugh.

"I've noticed!"

"Ok, well, I must have misread something at some point, so..."

"No!" you exclaimed quickly. "I mean, it's not..." You paused and sighed. "You're gorgeous. And I think you're fantastic and all, but I just can't... deal with going to another level with anyone right now." I nodded, trying not to show my disappointment. You reached out and gently touched my cheek.

"I understand. I'll stop harassing you so much," I replied.

"Well, I don't think you need to stop harassing me," you said in a strange voice. "Just, you know, don't show up half naked in my bathroom."

"What about completely naked in your - "

"Miki!"

"Sorry." I sighed. "Ok, I get it. I'll play nice...r."

"Thank you."

"But you owe me! I don't like having to censor my wild inhibitions." I made a face.

"I don't like the idea of me owing you," you mused thoughtfully. I grinned evilly.

"Well you can always - " My words were cut off as your lips gently touched mine. I wondered to myself who you had been practicing on, because this sure as hell wasn't sloppy and amateurish. It was tender, lingering, inviting. Your lips tasted like the ocean. Just thinking about it right now makes me want to throw the driver out of this taxi, floor it all the way to your apartment, break down your front door, and demand a reenactment to be immediately followed by quality naked time. Egao YES Nude indeed.

I couldn't move or speak when you pulled away. My entire brain had turned into a pile of mush. I didn't dare look in your eyes because if I did, I knew I would rip that bathrobe off of you and take you right here on the floor. And I didn't want to ...well, I DID want to do that, but I knew you'd probably end up punching me. And a black eye wouldn't make for a very good Alo-Hello photobook, now would it?

"I'm really quite tired from the beach and would like to shower now," you said softly. "So, if you wouldn't mind, I'll just see you tomorrow." I nodded, still dazed, and left the bathroom. How does she keep doing this to me? I wondered as I left your room. Why does she hold so much pull over me?

Still pondering, I waved distractedly to a flabbergasted Yaguchi Mari as I walked down the hall to my own room, pausing only to adjust my bikini bottom.

Well, at this point Yossi's gotten rid of some of the chunkage that she had before, so she's probably a bit more comfortable with her body. That, and she's probably too irritated at Miki right now to be concerned/realize that she's nekkid. :twisted:

Ah, so Yossi knows that Miki likes her, huh? Sounds like, unfortunately, that she's still not ready for a relationship (she's probably still scared of being hurt like she was with Maki).

I couldn't move or speak when you pulled away. My entire brain had turned into a pile of mush. I didn't dare look in your eyes because if I did, I knew I would rip that bathrobe off of you and take you right here on the floor. And I didn't want to ...well, I DID want to do that, but I knew you'd probably end up punching me. And a black eye wouldn't make for a very good Alo-Hello photobook, now would it?
Whoa...Yossi must one HELL of a kisser! :o


Quote
I nodded, still dazed, and left the bathroom. How does she keep doing this to me? I wondered as I left your room. Why does she hold so much pull over me?

Still pondering, I waved distractedly to a flabbergasted Yaguchi Mari as I walked down the hall to my own room, pausing only to adjust my bikini bottom.
Damn wedgies.

I enjoyed it. Weird thing though, that when Kago sneaked on Yossi, someone else's hiding in the bathroom. And it's funny.

i remember that part about Hawaii. That was talked about on  H!M Judgement 2003, right?

Anyhoo, great job with the story! I've been reading it for the past week or so

Yeah, it was also mentioned on an Utaban episode which is when Risa and Ai talked about Yossi being out on the balcony naked as well.

Thanks for reading and commenting!  :nya:

Well, at this point Yossi's gotten rid of some of the chunkage that she had before, so she's probably a bit more comfortable with her body. That, and she's probably too irritated at Miki right now to be concerned/realize that she's nekkid. :twisted:

I was rewatching the Sakura-Otome Alo-Hello for this (and Dear Lord, is that thing weird and not in a good Alo-Hello 2 way), and Yossi's really not that chunky in it, she just has really really bad hair and they still have her in giant clothes of doom. ...WHICH SUPPORTS MY INSANE THEORIES!  :hiakhiakhiak:

Ah, so Yossi knows that Miki likes her, huh? Sounds like, unfortunately, that she's still not ready for a relationship (she's probably still scared of being hurt like she was with Maki).

....

Oh, so Yossi doesn't want Miki to stop eh? This is a sign Miki! Yossi likes you too! :w00t:

...

Damn, I was thinking exactly what Miki was thinking!  It was just too easy! XD

What have I told you about being in my head?!  :on lol:

Damn wedgies.

Exactly.

I enjoyed it. Weird thing though, that when Kago sneaked on Yossi, someone else's hiding in the bathroom. And it's funny.

Yeah, can you imagine if Kago had found Miki in there too? Oh, the antics that would have ensued.

Part 6-II coming up!


Title: Re: memoir [07/24 - New Part!]
Post by: almond on July 25, 2007, 12:32:04 PM
Whee~ Part 6-II! The joint parts are actually the hardest to write since I've already boxed myself in with dialog. I hope you all enjoy!

---------------------

6-II

I kept my word as best I could. I still groped and teased you, but nothing further. That was my first clue.

I never cared about self-control really. I never saw the point. If you want to do something, do it. Don't whine about wanting to, just do it. If anyone ever told me to stop, I usually lost interest in them altogether; they became boring. Without the physical aspect, I didn't really care anymore. You were different.

With you, the physical was bonus. I just wanted to be around you, to hear what insane things you'd say, to watch your reactions to things, to see what crazy things they'd do to your hair next.

Your power over me was insane. You could reduce me to a babbling mess with a single look, but rarely did. I just didn't have fun groping and making out with random people anymore.

I remember thinking about these things, trying to sort out where my place was in your life - especially with your new sub-leader responsibilities. I heard a loud thumping noise as I rounded to corner. You were repeatedly banging your forehead against a wall.

As I looked at you, my brain suddenly put everything together at once. Shit, I remember thinking, I'm friggin' in love with her.

I shook my head to clear out that heart-dropping thought and walked over to you.

"Having fun?" I asked. You paused and opened your right eye,

"Oh, yeah," you replied before returning to your new pastime. I rolled my eyes and stuck my hand out to block your head's collision path. You opened your eyes again.

"What's up?" I inquired. You sighed.

"It's Yagu - AH! Good evening!" You bowed at that wardrobe girl I'd made out with a year and a half ago. Next thing I knew, you'd grabbed my arm and dragged me into the nearby storage closet.

"If you wanted to get some special alone time, you just needed to ask," I grinned, running my fingers slowly down your arm.

"Yaguchi is getting Friday'd tomorrow morning. I'm going to be the freaking leader," you replied, ignoring my teasing. My jaw dropped.

"They got caught!?" I shook my head. "That's unbelievable. What kind of idiot doesn't notice a telephoto lens peeping out of the bushes? Did she want to get caught or something?" Having told me this news, you turned to leave. I started to follow you when you suddenly turned around, tripped over my foot, and fell forward, knocking me to the ground. Thank God the room was carpeted or I'd probably would have been sent to the hospital.

"Oh my God, are you okay?" You looked panicked. I shook my head. Enough of this shit.

"Do you have some sort of arousal issue with storage closets?!" I demanded.

"What in the world are you talking about?" you asked, starting to get up off me. Iiiiiiiiiiiidiot.

"I guess I'm lucky since I didn't get pummeled with half-empty boxes this time," I replied sarcastically. You froze, your body in a hilarious half-crouch position over me.

"What did you just say?" you asked very slowly. You're lucky you're so damn hot, because you are so dense sometimes.

"You have got to be kidding me," I replied, rolling my eyes. I decided to drop the bomb. "You still haven't figured it out? It's not like I've changed THAT much since 2000." Your eyes became so wide I thought they might fall out of the sockets.

"Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no," you stammered like an idiot, your face turning red. "You, uh, you auditioned with me, didn't you?"

"Yeeeees," I replied as though I was talking to a 3-year-old.

"And, uh, your audition number was, um..."

"511," we said in unison. Your entire body was starting to turn red. This was fantastic. I should have done this when you were naked in Hawaii.

"Then, the 'issue' you wanted to talk about that one time was, uh..."

"That we had made out about three years earlier," I supplied helpfully.

"Ah."

"Yep," I replied with a smirk.

"I take it you've figured out where to put your nose now?" you asked, blinking innocently. I narrowed my eyes. No one insults my skills. I slammed my right arm against your back, knocking you directly onto me.

"Trust me," I replied smugly. "I know where to put everything now." I brought my right leg up between your legs until your face began to turn red. Perfect. "I see you decided to be openly hot again." You started to laugh.

"Oh, you're not getting a free show this time," you replied. I raised an eyebrow and closed my eyes.

"Oh, trust me," I said grinning as I remembered my All Nude Hawaiian Peep Show. "I'm getting one right now." I opened one eye to peer at you. "And I bet I can get one again." You shook your head and lowered your face down next to mine.

"No," you whispered in my ear. "Next one you have to pay for." What? Did that mean that you... was all my waiting going to pay off? My questioning eyes met yours.

Your eyes were disturbingly calm. My heart was pounding so loud I was sure you could hear it. I wanted to ask what you had meant, but I was scared to. 'How dare you make the great Fujimoto scared?!' I wanted to ask. And then I saw it. The calm facade was giving way to the look of unbridled desire I still remember from all those years ago.

I couldn't stand it anymore. I reached up and brought those tempting lips to mine.

You started to pull away from me. Oh no, I'd read you wrong. Shit, shit, shit shit. I let go of you and you sat up, turning your head away from me.

"I'm sorry," I said, still a bit breathless. "I didn't mean to - I mean, I did mean to, but I wasn't trying to go back on..." You were making the strangest face. "A-are you ok?" I asked in alarm.

Suddenly, you let out a huge sneeze. I blinked in disbelief as you shook your head briefly before turning back to me with a sheepish grin.

"Sorry, I had to sneeze." I leaned my head back and burst into laughter.

"I thought you were....uh...." All of the thoughts left my brain as your soft lips touched my neck...and my lips...and my shoulders...

"Uh, Yossi?" I managed to get out when you sat up to unbutton my shirt.

"Hmmm?" you replied lazily and you traced a line across my stomach with your fingers. I shivered.

"I, um..."

You ignored me and pulled me up towards you. As you pressed me against you, I suddenly realized something was missing.

"Where the hell did my bra go?!" I exclaimed. You chuckled.

"It's in the corner somewhere. I have skills." You ran your hands along my back.

"Yo-" I cleared my throat. "Yocchan, could we, uh -" Oh my Lord, *I'd* never even touched someone there. "Stop it!" I blurted out, startling you. Your eyes widened.

"I'm so sorry!" you exclaimed, scrambling off of me. "I thought you wanted me to, well..."

"I am not easy!" I said defensively, getting to my feet. You shook your head wildly.

"No! I didn't mean to imply that you were! I just... I guess I got carried away!"

"So you understand that Fujimoto Miki isn't some sort of For-A-Good-Time-Call girl?" I asked, walking towards you. You gulped as your back hit the wall.

"Absolutely! I'm really sorry, Miki, I just - "

"Good," I said firmly. "I just wanted to make that clear." I ran my hand up your bare leg. God bless whoever invented skirts and God bless wardrobe for making you wear one today.

"M-miki! What about that whole - "

"Oh, I just wanted to make sure that was clear. I figure 5 years of foreplay is long enough, don't you?" You grinned as I pushed you to the floor.

"Absolu... where is my underwear?!" I smirked.

"You're not the only one with skills here."

I actually did toy with the idea of a third part from Makoto's perspective, but then dropped the idea since she wouldn't be in the end scene at all.

It's funny how Miki is all super doki doki on the inside but is all cool on the outside. But I don't remember them being so chatty when they were inside the closet... maybe I should go back and re-read this fic again..

I'm trying to show new sections of each part while getting the other perspective at the same time. Yossi skipped the entire sex scene and went straight to the afterglow whereas Miki is remembering the beginning of it and ignoring everything after. But, yeah, they're meant to line up together.

Damn, Miki had no doubts about it, did she?  :love:

Yeeeeah. I figured Miki's the type to know her own mind since she usually speaks it. I mean, she's been kind of obsessed with the girl for how long now?  :lol:

God bless skills :rockon:

Seriously.


Thanks so much for the comments everyone! I love reading them!

I'm currently struggling with 8-II (it's different than Yossi's part 8 ), so while I wasn't originally going to, I'm gonna split Miki's 7 into 2 parts like I did with Yossi's.

So... 7-II coming up shortly and then the next update will be 7.5-II!

Post by: almond on July 26, 2007, 12:39:38 PM
Oh, man, I just ran spellcheck and realized I'd forgotten to on earlier parts. Sorry about that.  :banghead:

--------------------------------

7-II

"YOU DID WHAT!?" I pulled my cell phone away from my ear.

"Aya, I do still need that ear," I replied.

"I'm sorry, but... wow!"

I glanced around again to make sure the other girls weren't around. The new single shoot was almost over and only Reina, Sayumi, and you were left, but I was still a bit paranoid - especially of you sneaking up behind me. I wasn't supposed to tell anyone what had happened, but... c'mon, it's Aya! I should get a medal for holding out on her this long.

"So, how was it?" Aya asked, in that I-want-gossip tone.

"Aya!"

"Please, like you didn't call to tell me that." I laughed and glanced around again.

"It was.... Oh my Gah, it was fantastic."

"Did you just 'Oh my Gah'?"

"...shut up." Aya started laughing.

"Aah, I'm so jealous! Now you two will be all love-love."

"Who said anything about love?" I said loudly, causing Reina to look over at me curiously. I shuffled more into the shadows.

"Tan, how well do I know you? You've been smitten ever since the All Nude Hawaii incident."

"I can't believe I told you about that," I groaned.

"So, I want details! How many times have you all done it since then?" I didn't say anything. "...Miki? Did the call drop?"

"I'm thinking!" I said defensively.

"YOU HAVE TO THINK?" Aya exclaimed. "How do you have time for that? What do you do, go at it during concerts?"

"Only Ishikawa's graduation one," I replied without thinking. Aya was howling with laughter.

"This is too good," she said to herself. "Ok, ok, uh..."

"Aya, I should probably go," I said, eyeing the nearing Reina and Sayumi.

"Wait! You HAVE to tell me!"

"What?" I asked distractedly.

"What did her face look like?"

"Huh?"

"You know! Yoshizawa makes the best faces, so I want to know! What did her face look like when she - "

"AYA!"

"Fujimoto?" Sayumi asked, looking a bit alarmed. Crap. When did she and Reina walk over here?

"Aya, buy your own damn toilet paper! I'm not covering for you again!" I exclaimed desperately before hanging up on the perversely curious Matsuura. I turned to the girls. "Yes? Did you all need something?"

"We just wanted to say good night," Reina explained, eyeing me suspiciously.

"Ah! Good night!" I smiled broadly and even gave a little wave for good measure. Suddenly someone grabbed my arm.

"I need to talk to you," you hissed in my ear. Reina and Sayumi looked at us curiously. I turned to give you a death glare, but you were grinning at the girls.

"Sorry, leader stuff. Go on home and we'll see you tomorrow," you said cheerfully before dragging me off.

I really think you honestly wanted to talk. I vaguely remember you talking about something and thinking it was hilarious, but I cannot for the life of me remember what anymore. I was a bit...distracted by you straddling me, kissing me, caressing me...

And then Makoto walked in and ruined it.


"Aah!" she exclaimed. "Yoshizawa, Goto! So sorry, I just forgot..." I froze. 'Goto'? Yossi and... Maki? You pulled away from me, looking extremely pissed off.

"Are you having a freaking flashback, Makoto!?" you spat out. So it was true? Makoto walked over and peered her head around you.

"Ah, Fujimoto," she said, nodding. Her eyes met mine. "AH! Fujimoto!" she exclaimed. She looked back and forth between the two of us before promptly walking out in true Ogawa fashion.

"That girl has the most insane timing, I swear," you said in a bemused tone with a shake of your head. "Now," you grinned, leaning back towards me. "Where were we?"

"You were just about to tell me why Makoto thought I was Goto Maki," I replied flatly.

"Are you sure I wasn't about to-"

"No." I cut you off firmly.

"Damn."

"Yeah," I replied bitterly, pushing you off of me. You sighed and ran a hand through your hair. "Well?" I asked expectantly. You bit your lip.

"Can we go back to my place?" you said at last.

"I just told you that we're not - "

"No! I mean... anyone could walk in, so I thought some privacy would be nice..." You looked like you were looking forward to this conversation as much as I was. I nodded silently and walked out of the room.


-----------------

BTW, I was just rewatching the MM. Hong Kong DVD and that foot massage at the end made Aya's question even more hilarious in my mind.  :lol:

Just watch the Hong Kong foot massage thing. I'm sure it's in there somewhere.  :wahaha:

AHAHAHAA!

Yay!! I forced myself to prep for this part by watching the Miki/Aya Futarigoto.
Research is SUCH hard work!  :on lol:

And! you update so often! Do you know how sexy I find that?
:luvluv2:

On a side note, I do read the comments when I'm working on parts, so you might find things pop up. For instance, every time I write "Ah, Fujimoto" I think of JFC's signatures. Mikan has something coming up, so I thought I'd mention it.  :lol:


I haven't started on 9-II yet because I can't decide whether to do Yossi's 9 (telling the 'kids') from Miki's POV or to do something completely different (like their many attempts to explain it to Koharu). Any opinions?

Well, since I FINALLY finished part 8-II last night, I'm getting ready to post 7.5-II.  :k-thrilled:
Title: Re: memoir [Updated! 07/27]
Post by: almond on July 27, 2007, 12:21:28 PM
This is the only part that lines up exactly with its Yoshizawa counterpart!  :bingo:

-----------------

7.5-II

You didn't say a word during the entire taxi ride. You just stared straight forward, as though the back of the driver's head had the answers you were looking for.

I stared out the window and tried to calm down. I mean, I really didn't have much reason to be angry. We'd never discussed what "we" were. I'd assumed that having sex meant exclusivity, but I'd never brought it up and honestly, how naive was that assumption nowadays?

"Can I get you something?" you asked as I walked into your living room. "Tea? Water?"

"Vodka on the rocks," I replied, only half joking. I sat down and leaned against the back of your couch, wondering if you'd found the panties I'd left between the cushions or if they were still there.

"Sorry, fresh out. How about a Sex on the Beach?" I gave a half-hearted laugh and looked around the living room.

Although I'd been here a few times before, I'd never really paid attention. I was usually far to distracted by the whole naked Yoshizawa thing. I picked up the only photograph I'd ever seen in your apartment. I wondered if it was of Maki, but it was just a cute photo of you, your parents, and your brothers next to a giant snowman.

"That's from when I visited my family over our winter holiday," you said, sitting down next to me. Did you notice your leg touching mine? Normally, I'd have relished in this prelude to your touch, but right now... even your inadvertent touch scorched me. I smiled at the photo and leaned over to place it back on the end table. I carefully avoided your touch as I settled back down.

"So..." I said casually. "Exactly how many people are you 'dating' right now?"

"What?"

"I always thought that 'Pimp Yoshizawa' thing was just a joke!" My laugh rang in my ears. I studied my hands carefully.

"Miki!"

"Don't get the wrong idea!" My laugh sounded hollow even to me. "I just need to know who else - "

"There's no one else!" you exclaimed, cutting me off.

"So it's just me and Maki?" I asked, avoiding your stare.

"WHAT!?" you exploded, jumping to your feet. I recoiled a bit in surprise.

"Don't be so excitable! I told you it's fine," I lied. "Though I am kind of wondering who's better..." I trailed off, unable to finish the sentence. I felt sick at the thought of you and Maki together, here... I felt like screaming... I felt...

"Maki and I broke up three years ago."

...horrible. Three years ago!? You couldn't even remember me back then. You were so weird back then, didn't even care anymore, like, like... oh... OH! Oh, geez. Everything made sense now.

You turned away from me and stared out your window. "We hooked up shortly after I joined and broke up a few months before she graduated," you said quietly. I silently came up behind you and wrapped my arms around your waist. I suddenly realized how tiny you really were. Even though we were around the same size, I felt like I could break you. You normally seemed so confident, powerful, strong... not fragile like this.

"Yossi, I..." I trailed off as you entwined your fingers with mine.

"Makoto walked in on us kissing shortly after she joined the group," you continued, still staring out the window. "I'm guessing that's why she assumed you were Maki."

"I'm sorry," I replied. "I misunderstood. You don't have to talk about this."

"No, I needed to tell you sooner or later..."

You let me lead you back to the couch and pull you down so you were laying with your head on my lap. You closed your eyes as I absentmindedly played with your hair. Your voice was calm and steady, but your face exposed the pain beneath the surface.

Remembering that now, I'm again certain I've done the right thing, I never want to see that again, but... I know what I did was right, but... why won't you return my phone calls? Why haven't you replied to any of my messages? ...why am I so nervous about seeing you again?

Ok, calm down, Miki. Yossi's been busy. With the whole play thing and such. I'm sure it's a coincidence. ...or maybe she's trapped herself in a closet again and needs help escaping. Either way! It'll be fine.

Right. Ok, where was I? I almost lost my train of thought there for a second.

"Poor Mako," you continued. "She's the one who told me Maki was graduating. She had overheard some staff members talking about it and came over to ask me if I knew when it was exactly. When I asked Maki about it, she admitted she had found out over a month ago."

"And didn't bother telling you? Sounds like it wouldn't have worked out anyway," I replied without thinking. You smiled.

"I love how you just say what you're thinking," you murmured. I LOVE HOW YOU EVERYTHING, my brain screamed in reply.

"Then you'll love this," I said, internally telling my brain to shut up. "Did you have sex?" I wasn't really sure if I wanted the answer to that. On one hand, I wanted to know, but on the other, I didn't want to think about you with anyone else.

Ugh, you make me want to punch myself for being so cheesy.

"We talked about it, but weren't ready yet," you replied.

"Were you in love with her?" Are you in love with me?

"No," you replied firmly. "But..." you sighed. "I guess I was in the process of falling in love at the time." Why did I ask that? I don't want to know about that! I needed a topic change.

"...wait, if you didn't sleep with Maki, then who was your first?" I blurted out. "Was it Ishikawa?"

"What!?" you started laughing.

"Hmmm... Makoto?"

"Only in her daydreams," you muttered. I started laughing at how guilty you looked when you realized you'd said that out loud.

Think, Miki, Think! Who else is always around Yoshizawa? Who have I seen hanging around her....

"Yaguchi?" I guessed, trying not to laugh at the visual that presented itself in my mind.

"Are you on crack?!" you exclaimed, laughing.

"Is it not a Morning Musume. girl?" I mused. "Ayaka?" You shook your head.

"I've already told you," you sighed. Huh? I thought back to as many of our conversations as I could remember.

"No... I think I'd remember that. Give me a hint at least."

"Miki."

"What?" I sighed. "I want a hint!" You opened your eyes and looked up at me. You smiled softly.

"You don't need one. That was the answer." I swear, the world stopped for a minute under your calm, unflinching gaze. It seemed like I could see straight through your eyes and into your very being. Pain, desire, nervousness, confidence, joy, fear... Then I blinked and the moment was over.

"W-what, seriously?" I said finally. "I thought you were joking when you said I 'stole your innocence'." Wait, if I was her first, then that means she hadn't... DAMN! "Wow." You raised an eyebrow. "I mean, huh...  guess you just have a natural talent for that sort of thing," I blinked several times. You burst into laughter.

"Oh really...?" you said, smiling suggestively up at me. I grinned and leaned down to kiss you. "What about you?" you murmured before I could make contact. Shit.

"...hmm?" I said innocently.

"I told you my romantic history, short as it is," you explained with an evil grin. "What about you, O Queen of the Grope?" I made a face at her.

"The groping doesn't count, right?" Because I sure as hell can't remember all of those names. "Are we talking just sex or including making out?"

"Making out included," she said firmly. Geez... Ok! Let's go chronologically!

"You," That was easy. "my friend Miyuki," Ha ha, she was so surprised. "My friend Rei," Rei was really, really into it. I think she's married now, though... "Aya," Aya was so cute the first time. She looked so surprised, I expected a giant "BIKKURI!" sign to pop up over her head. "um..." Crap. Utaban. I avoided your gaze. "Maki," I muttered. "some girl on my concert staff," I added quickly, hoping that the previous name hadn't sunk in yet. Actually, I didn't know how you felt about these people... Maybe I shouldn't linger on the names too much. "Rika, Aya, Ayumi, Masae, Takahashi, Aya, and uh, you," I blurted out. "...oh, Mai's in there somewhere," I remembered suddenly. "and I'm sure I've missed some." You blinked several times.

"You've, uh, been busy," you said at last. I grinned, filling with pride.

"Yeeeeeeeah," I said smugly.

"Aya made, uh, quite a few appearances on that list." And that was only full make-out.

"Yeah, I get bored easily," I replied, taking the opportunity for one of my hands to begin to work its way down your body.

"What about sex?" I grinned.

"Sounds great." You raised an eyebrow. Dammit. "Oh fine." I pulled my hand back and began ticking off my list. "You in the storage closet, you on my couch, you in my bedroom, you in my shower, you on my kitchen table, you on the floor outside your bedroom, you IN your bedroom, you against that wall over there, you in that empty dressing room during Rika's last concert, you in the taxi ride back to my place, you just inside my front door, you in my bedroom again, and, hopefully, you on your couch." I grinned and let my hands illustrate my point.

"I think you forgot a few," you replied. Yeah, like you on my desk chair, you under your kitchen table, you in the locker room after that last Gatas game, you on the Maido Ari set after hours...

"Probably." I shrugged. "Don't care."

I stared out the window and tried to calm down. I mean, I really didn't have much reason to be angry. We'd never discussed what "we" were. I'd assumed that having sex meant exclusivity, but I'd never brought it up and honestly, how naive was that assumption nowadays?
As I said in when I replied to the Yossi POV of this part, Miki was, at this point, worried that Yossi didn't feel as much for her as she did for Yossi. Yossi was the only girl that Miki has been with, but with the whole "Mako thinking Miki was Maki" incident, Miki can't be sure that Yossi can say the same.  It would really hurt her if she was just another notch on Yossi's bedpost.



Quote
"Maki and I broke up three years ago."

...

Three years ago!? You couldn't even remember me back then. You were so weird back then, didn't even care anymore, like, like... oh... OH! Oh, geez. Everything made sense now.
And so, the pieces start to fall together. NOW Miki realizes why Yossi looked like she "stopped caring" back then. :yep:



Quote
"Hmmm... Makoto?"

"Only in her daydreams," you muttered. I started laughing at how guilty you looked when you realized you'd said that out loud.
I wondered how Miki reacted to this. XD


Quote
"Aya," Aya was so cute the first time. She looked so surprised, I expected a giant "BIKKURI!" sign to pop up over her head.
That would have been so cute! :love:


Quote
Crap. Utaban. I avoided your gaze. "Maki," I muttered. "some girl on my concert staff," I added quickly, hoping that the previous name hadn't sunk in yet.
I guess that would have been during their Gomatto appearance, when they were shooed off the set when Taka-san picked Aya as his fave?  They must have gone to "console" each other.  :roll:

Damn, the Maido Ari set? Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.  :twisted:


Quote
Remembering that now, I'm again certain I've done the right thing, I never want to see that again, but... I know what I did was right, but... why won't you return my phone calls? Why haven't you replied to any of my messages? ...why am I so nervous about seeing you again?

Ok, calm down, Miki. Yossi's been busy. With the whole play thing and such. I'm sure it's a coincidence. ...or maybe she's trapped herself in a closet again and needs help escaping. Either way! It'll be fine.
Saved this part for the end.

So I guess Miki never told Yossi that she was planning on doing "this", did she? Chances are if she did, Yossi would have tried to talk her out of it. The part that's most worrisome is that we don't know just how much of it was an "act" to allow her to leave the group. Were the parties involved "in" on it? If not, how far did Miki go to make it work?  From Miki's viewpoint, you can't help but hope that Yossi will understand why she did this, but at the same time there's that "what if she doesn't?" What if this shocks/upsets Yossi so much that she breaks things off? :cry:


EDIT: Forgot to throw this guy in...


 :shifty:

...it's just...you know.

That's not much of a coincidence - I totally reread the comments when I was writing that part XD

Yep~! That ep amuses me.

I wanted the Hello! Pro Hour set, but they had moved onto Maido Ari by the time YoMiki started.  :(

------------------------------------

8-II

Hong Kong was the best and worst trip I have ever taken.

I mean, seriously, were you trying to get your revenge on me for my pursuit of you the past few years? Dragging me up to the front of that boat and reenacting the Titanic scene, saying you love me... then laughing and turning to talk to the camera. You're pure evil sometimes.

"So, who'd you end up with?" you hissed when the cameras were finally off.

"Sayumi," I groaned. "Did you know she seriously does that 'I'm cute today too!' thing every morning?" You shook your head.

"I'm sorry. I was hoping you'd get Makoto once I found out about my Miracle Babysitting duty."

"Yeah, no such luck." I sighed and looked out at the water. "We could always tell her to go away so we can have sex." You burst out laughing.

"Aah~ My prince and the demon woman! What will I doooo~" you exclaimed in a scarily spot-on Michishige impression.

"Yocchan, do you enjoy our 'leader time' together?"

"Of course."

"Then never do that again."


Filming was hell. I could barely look at you without wanting to rip your shirt off. And you kept touching me. I don't know if it was on purpose or not, but it was horrible. No, wait, what am I saying? It was absolutely fantastic. It just drove me insane.

We headed back to the dressing room to put on the dresses Reina and Konno had picked out for us as part of the DVD. I'm not gonna lie - I was looking forward to seeing you in that black mini dress.

"Uh, Miki?" you called from your room just as I finished zipping up my dress. "Can you help me with this?"

"Sure," I laughed, imagining your zipper stuck somewhere indelicate. And by indelicate I mean advantageous.

You were standing with your back against the far wall. Damn, that dress looked nice.

"Shut the door," you hissed, looking embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" I asked, shutting the door behind me and walking over to you. "What did you need help with?"

"This," you grinned. Next thing I knew, you had pulled me into your arms and bent me backwards into a deep kiss. I wrapped my arms around you, letting my hands entangle themselves in your hair and pull you closer.

"Fujimoto!" one of the staff members called. What? Oh. Oh, right. Filming. You pulled away and smiled.

"I just had to get that out of my system," you said in a low voice before pushing me out the door.

Evil. You're pure evil.


God bless Ogawa Makoto, though. She may be weird, but she would do just about anything for you and came up with a fantastic plan. She always has been great with plans.

"You want to do what now?" I asked.

"The drinking age here is 18!" Makoto repeated. "So, we'll all go out drinking! We'll get Konkon and Ai really smashed and then I'll make Gaki help me take care of them! Then you and Yoshizawa can have my and Konkon's room all to yourselves!"

"That's freaking brilliant," you mused.

"Uh, only one problem, Makoto. You're still 17," I interjected. Makoto waved my concern aside.

"I'm not going to be drinking and I have fake ID anyway," she said.

"Where the hell did you get a fake ID?" I exclaimed.

"Huh? Yoshizawa," Makoto replied.

"What about Koharu?" you asked before I could follow up on that little nugget of information.

"She's probably exhausted from filming, so just send her to bed," I answered.

"I can check up on her if you want," Makoto offered.

"Why are you being so nice?" I asked suspiciously.

"Makoto's always nice," you laughed. Makoto nodded enthusiastically.

"I think it's because Yoshizawa accidentally grabbed your boob when she was freaking out during that foot massage," I replied. Makoto turned bright red. You just shook your head.

"Miki, leave her alone," you sighed as I cackled. All teasing aside, the plan really was fantastic.

Unfortunately, I wasn't going anywhere for a while.

"What do you mean you're not ready yet?" You exclaimed. I thumbed over at the bathroom door.

"Princess Sayumin won't get out of the damn shower," I replied. "She's been in there for over an hour and I'm sorry but I feel really gross."

"Well, tell her to get out," you replied. I laughed.

"Be my guest." You gave me a strange look and knocked on the bathroom door.

"Sayu! Miki needs to shower too!" you called. The door flew open and a great cloud of steam billowed out into the room.

"I'm sorry, but this is Sayumi's beauty time!" Sayumi exclaimed perkily before slamming the door shut again. You blinked.

"Uh, she was naked."

"Yeah..." I sighed, shaking my head. "So..."

"Just go use the shower in my room. We're all heading down to the bar in the hotel lobby, so just meet us down there when you're all clean."

"So you can get me all dirty?" I asked with a grin.

"Exactly," you laughed, handing me your room key.

"Don't get too drunk, now. I want you up to full capacity," I grinned as you ushered me out the door.

"I'll do my best," you replied with a grin as we walked down the hall together.

"Seriously, though," I said. "I'm pretty tired, so if you could get a head start on plying Konno and Takahashi with liquor, I'd really appreciate it."

"You're tired?" You stopped in front of the elevator and looked at me in concern. "Hey, joking aside, we can seriously just sleep. I really only want to be able to hold you in my arms again for a night."

"After a comment like that, you really think you won't get laid tonight?" The elevator doors opened. You chuckled and stepped inside.

"I'm looking forward to it," you said with a wink as the doors closed. You're not the only one.

I hurried to your room to take the quickest shower of my life. ...or so I thought.

I unlocked the door and stepped inside your room, flipping on the light.

"Aah! I'm so sorry, I thought you were out for the night!" a muffled voice called. I looked around the room.

"...Koharu?"

"...Fujimoto?" Ah! There she was! In the armchair near the window, curled up in a little ball.

"Yeah... Yocchan said I could use the shower in here." Something was weird. I walked over to her. "Is that ok?"

"Oh! Yeah, it's fine!" She wouldn't look at me. Dammit, I didn't have time for this. I sat down across from her.

"What's going on? Are you sick?" She shook her head violently.

"No, I'm fine! Really!"

"Then why aren't you looking at me? You're always staring at me like a crazed fan."

"Everything's fine! I'm just tired, so... yeah, go take your shower and have fun!"

"Koharu!" I snapped. This was getting annoying. Shocked, she looked up at me. My eyes widened as they took in her tear-stained face. "What on earth is wrong?" I asked, genuinely concerned. She burst into fresh tears and threw herself onto my lap. I patted her head as she cried into my shoulder.

"I'm just... I... know.... I'm a... idol now... and I..." she was practically hyperventilating.

"Koharu, calm down. You need to breathe, ok?" She took a few shaky breaths. "Good," I said. "Now, what is the matter?" The 13-year-old sniffed.

"I MISS MY MOMMY!" she wailed before burying her face in my hair. Shit.

"Shh, it's ok," I murmured, absentmindedly rubbing her back while trying to send psychic messages to you to come back and fix this mess.

"No, it's not! I can't be such a baby! I'm an idol now!" Koharu cried.

"You're thirteen freaking years old, Koharu. You're in a foreign country with a bunch of people you've known for about five months. You're allowed to miss your mom." Koharu just wailed louder in response. I sighed and resigned myself to the fact that I wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. I adjusted myself in the chair. "It's ok. You're allowed to cry, ok? Just let it all out." I continued rubbing her back in a soothing motion. Trying my best to comfort the hysterical teenager, I leaned back and closed my eyes.


I was awoken by a light kiss on my forehead. I opened my eyes to find you standing over me with a smile on your face.

"Yocchan? What time is it?" I mumbled. You brought a finger to your lips and effortlessly picked the sleeping Koharu up off of my lap. I sleepily watched you deposit the lanky girl onto her bed and pull the covers up around her before returning to my side.

"It's pretty late," you whispered. "I can't stay long. Makoto drank too much and is really sick. I just got really worried when you didn't show up, so I came looking for you." I nodded, trying my best not to doze off again.

"I'll just stay here, then," I murmured, closing my eyes. I heard movement and then felt a soft blanket drape around me. I smiled.

"I guess I'll see you in the morning, then," you said. I opened my eyes.

"She was really upset and I couldn't leave. I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault. These things happen. I wish I'd gotten a picture before waking you up, though," you grinned. "You're such a good 'mom'!"

"Tell anyone and I'll gut you like a fish." I replied before pulling the blanket up and falling back asleep.


-----------------------

On a semi-related note, if you haven't seen the YoMiki foot massage in Hong Kong, I highly recommend it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfjvRtb_hFA).

One the one hand...awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...poor Koharu. :cry:  Kind of understandable, what with her still being so young and all, AND the fact that the Hong Kong trip happened not too long after she joined the group.

But on the other hand...shit this is gonna cut into "leader time", isn't it?  :banghead:

Part 11 is coming slow and my brain's started working on something else, so I might actually update only *gasp* every OTHER day!  :lol:

-----------------------

9-II

"Waaaa~" was my only warning before I was half-tackled on the morning of Ribbon no Kishi rehearsals. I groaned. Why. Why, Why, Why was I so nice in Hong Kong?

"Good morning, Koharu," I said, attempting to extract myself from her grasp.

"Good morning!" she grinned.

"So... you've been studying your lines, right?" I asked, finally wrenching myself out of her cling.

"Yes! Yoshizawa has been helping me." I smiled.

"Speaking of which, where is Yocchan?"

"She went off with Ishikawa a little while ago." Rika? That's odd. "Yeah, I guess they're having leader time like you do!" They better not be. Despite our best efforts, Koharu still had no idea about us. I remember she even walked in on me straddling you and in the process of removing your shirt and still did not get it.

"Do you know where they went?" I asked, wanting a little morning action. Koharu pointed down the hall at our dressing room.


I noticed the door slightly ajar as I neared the room.

"Hey, just for old time's sake?" I heard Rika say. I pushed the door open just in time to see her wrap her arms around your neck and pull you into a kiss. My heart dropped.

I was frozen to the spot. I couldn't move or think. I just stood there like an idiot staring at the two of you. To this day, that image is burned into my mind.

You reached up and gently took her hands into yours, pulling them off of your neck as you moved away from her.

"Rika, no," you said softly. Rika's face fell.

"But, this time I - " she protested.

"It's not that. I'm with someone now." Ishikawa's brow furrowed in confusion.

"What? You didn't tell me? Who..." The question died on her lips as she looked over your shoulder and saw me standing in the doorway. "Oh." You turned around.

"Miki..." You quickly dropped Rika's hands. "This - It's not - I mean!"

"You sound way guiltier than you should be," I said dryly. "I've been standing here for a while." You looked embarrassed. "And Ishikawa," I said, turning to the Viyuden leader. "Next time you want to get a little action, you should probably shut the door."

"Yoshizawa! We need you for this scene," a staff member called from behind me. You nodded and looked at Rika.

"Rika, I -" you started to say.

"Just go," she replied, sitting down at the makeup table.

"I'm sorry," you whispered in my ear on your way out the door. I shook my head and started to leave.

"Miki," Rika called out, gesturing for me to come over. I shut the door and walked over to her. "I should apologize. I didn't know that you and Yocchan..." she trailed off.

"Yeah, we've only really told the other members," I explained. "Just, you know, don't do it again or I won't be responsible for my actions." Rika smiled.

"So. How long have you two been together?" she asked carefully.

"Over a year."

"A year! That's back when I was still in the group!" Rika exclaimed.

"Uh... yeah..." I laughed guiltily, thinking about our little quickie during Rika's graduation concert. Rika shook her head.

"I can't believe she didn't tell me." She looked thoughtful. "You haven't told her how you feel, have you?"

"Excuse me?"

"I'm sorry, that was rude," Rika laughed. "It's just... well, speaking from experience, Yocchan worries way too much about other's feelings sometimes."

"What are you talking about?" Rika sighed.

"Yocchan and I... well, we never really dated, but we kind of fooled around a bit when we first joined, before she and Maki hooked up." Well, that's a new piece of information. "But, I made the mistake of telling her I was starting to fall for her. She broke it off, saying she didn't feel the same way and didn't want me to get hurt."

"Ouch."

"Pretty much." She smiled wryly. "I'd wondered what was up with her, though. She's been acting differently... I just figured it was the whole Leader thing." She shook her head.

"You're not mad?" I asked, having seen angry Ishikawa firsthand once before.

"Oh, I'm furious and will plot to break you up during my every waking moment," she deadpanned before cracking up. "What am I, some sort of obsessive psychopath? I'm glad she found someone to make her happy even if it's not me." There was a knock at the door.

"Ishikawa! We need you for the next scene."

"Coming!" Rika stood to leave. She stopped by the door and wagged a finger playfully at me. "Don't mess this up or she's free game" she said with a wink before leaving the room.

Despite our best efforts, Koharu still had no idea about us. I remember she even walked in on me straddling you and in the process of removing your shirt and still did not get it.
She saw that, and STILL doesn't get it? Either she's REALLY dense, or YoMiki came up with one HELL of a cover story. If it's the latter, I wanna hear it! XD


Quote
"Hey, just for old time's sake?" I heard Rika say.

...

"Rika, no," you said softly. Rika's face fell.

...

"What? You didn't tell me? Who..." The question died on her lips as she looked over your shoulder and saw me standing in the doorway. "Oh." You turned around.

"Miki..." You quickly dropped Rika's hands. "This - It's not - I mean!"

...

"Yoshizawa! We need you for this scene," a staff member called from behind me. You nodded and looked at Rika.

"Rika, I -" you started to say.

"Just go," she replied, sitting down at the makeup table.

"I'm sorry," you whispered in my ear on your way out the door. I shook my head and started to leave.

"Miki," Rika called out, gesturing for me to come over. I shut the door and walked over to her. "I should apologize. I didn't know that you and Yocchan..." she trailed off.
Damn, considering they first hooked up before she left the group, they must have done a REALLY good job keeping it a secret from her.  And still, Rika became the new host of H!M soon after.  Considering how much "leader time" Miki and Yossi had, it's amazing that she didn't figure it out or accidentally walk in on them then.



Quote
"Yeah, we've only really told the other members," I explained. "Just, you know, don't do it again or I won't be responsible for my actions." Rika smiled.
I'm surprised/impressed that she's been able to keep from beating the snot out of her for THIS long. :P


Quote
"So. How long have you two been together?" she asked carefully.

"Over a year."

"A year! That's back when I was still in the group!" Rika exclaimed.

"Uh... yeah..." I laughed guiltily, thinking about our little quickie during Rika's graduation concert.
Eep. :hee:


Quote
"Yocchan and I... well, we never really dated, but we kind of fooled around a bit when we first joined, before she and Maki hooked up." Well, that's a new piece of information. "But, I made the mistake of telling her I was starting to fall for her. She broke it off, saying she didn't feel the same way and didn't want me to get hurt."

"Ouch."
Aw crap. Poor Rika. :(


Quote
"You're not mad?" I asked, having seen angry Ishikawa firsthand once before.

"Oh, I'm furious and will plot to break you up during my every waking moment," she deadpanned before cracking up. "What am I, some sort of obsessive psychopath? I'm glad she found someone to make her happy even if it's not me."
Wow, that's awfully mature of Rika. :)


Quote
There was a knock at the door.

"Ishikawa! We need you for the next scene."

"Coming!" Rika stood to leave. She stopped by the door and wagged a finger playfully at me. "Don't mess this up or she's free game" she said with a wink before leaving the room.
Hey, at least she gave her fair warning. After all, Yossi's damn hot. :yep:

glad Rika's not the jealous ex-girlfriend type here..

Yeah, after reading all of those fics where Rika's insane over Yossi, I wanted to give the girl a break.

Despite our best efforts, Koharu still had no idea about us.
Ha, poor, clueless Koha. :P

Yep. More on this in a sec.

something about the phrase fool around make me grin line a cheshire cat. Uhh, im really not sure what to say. Its lovely. Thanks for updating. Im  waiting ever so patiently for more... *claws couch*

"Come ON already," Yossi groaned, making Miki grin at the impatience in her voice. The smaller brunette had just begun to playfully unbutton the leader's shirt when the door slammed open. The pair froze.

"THERE IT IS!" Koharu exclaimed, walking past them to grab her coat. She turned to the stunned couple and giggled. "I swear, I'd forget my own head if it wasn't attached!" The young girl waved merrily and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind her. Yossi and Miki blinked.

"Well..." Yossi said finally.

"She is the most clueless person I have ever met in my life!" Miki exclaimed, staring at the door incredulously. "I mean, really! She just doesn't notice anything around her."

"Yeah, I don't really care anymore," Yossi replied, her hands under Miki's skirt indicating what she did care about at that moment.

"...where did my underwear go?"

"I learned from the best." Yossi grinned wickedly. "Who's the clueless one now?"

- - - - - - - -
HA HA, I'M SO WEIRD.

Anyway.

Yeah, just to clarify this part a bit better. Rika wasn't in love with Yossi and never has been. She just started to fall for her and Yossi cut it off at that point. Rika's mainly just bitter she didn't get to keep fooling around. XD

Oh and if I DO write the sequel that's floating around in my head, it won't be Rika messing with them.  :wahaha:

Part... what the hell part am I on? *scrolls down through replies*

10-II


"Fujimoto, can I talk to you a minute?" I turned in surprise.

"Uh, sure. Come on in," I replied, gesturing at the empty seat across from me. Makoto walked in and sat down.

"It's about Yoshizawa."

"Is she okay?" I asked, feeling a bit panicked. I'd never seen Makoto this serious before.

"You tell me."

"Huh?"

"I'm graduating in less than a month," Makoto said slowly. I nodded. "I won't be here to watch out for her anymore."

"I always thought it was the other way around," I snorted. Makoto ignored me.

"She's been losing a lot of weight recently," she continued. "I know it's because she's really busy and active, but... I'm worried that you might do something to push her over the edge and no one will be here to catch her."

"What!? First of all, she does have friends. Do the names Ayaka and Satoda Mai ring any bells? And second, I'm not sure what it is you think I'm going to do, but - "

"You do realize she's in love with you, right?" Makoto interrupted me. I could feel my face start to flush. Dammit.

"What is this all about?" I asked in a low voice. Makoto turned suddenly and walked over to shut the door.

"Basically, I want to know what your intentions are," she replied, coming back over to me. My intentions!? I stood up to face her.

"What are you, her father?! It's none of your business."

"You weren't here," she hissed, coming close to me. "You didn't see what that mess with Goto did to her." My eyes narrowed.

"That was different. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon and I wouldn't wait a month to tell her if I was," I snapped.

"You're right it is different," Makoto replied. "She wasn't in love with Goto. She's in love with you." Shut up Shut up Shut up!

"Why do you keep saying that?" I exclaimed. "You have no way of knowing what goes on in someone's head."

"I've known her for five years. I can tell."

"Whatever," I dismissed her with a wave of my hand. "What do you want from me?" Makoto crossed her arms.

"I want your assurance that you're not going to break her heart," she said calmly. I sighed.

"Fine." I raised my right hand and looked towards the ceiling. "I have no intention of breaking the fair Yoshizawa's heart." I looked back at Makoto. "Happy?" She just sighed and shook her head.

"I don't know why I bothered," she muttered.

"She's stronger than you think," I said evenly.

"She's more sensitive than you think," Makoto snapped, turning to leave. Crap.

"Makoto, wait."

"What?" I sighed deeply and looked at the floor.

"...I can tell you this much. I would never do anything to intentionally hurt her," I said quietly.

"Mi-" A knock interrupted us.

"I'm coming in!"

Makoto and I exchanged a panicked look. SHIT! What were you doing out there?

"Miki!" you exclaimed with a smile. "What a surprise! Makoto, can I talk to you?" I studied your face trying to determine if you'd heard us or not.

"I'll leave you two alone," I said at last. I walked down the hallway and turned the corner, waiting until I heard the door slam shut before scurrying back to listen.

"What. The. Hell," you growled in a low voice.

"What!?" Makoto exclaimed.

"I heard you!" you snapped. "What do you think you're doing? I'm a grown woman and I can take care of myself. My relationships are of no concern to you."

"You were eavesdropping?!" Makoto sounded shocked.

"You were talking about me!" you retorted angrily. "And how DARE you tell Miki that I'm in love with her!" I couldn't listen to this anymore. I turned and ran out of the building. Gasping for breath, I leaned against the brick wall and closed my eyes.

"Fujimoto!"

"Dammit, Ogawa, leave me ALONE!" I groaned, opening my eyes.

"Just answer me one thing honestly."

"Fine."

"Are you in love with her?"

"Yes," I replied cooly. A slow smile spread across Makoto's face.

"Ok," she nodded. "I can graduate in peace now." What is she, dying? God, this girl was weird.

"Are you?" I asked.

"Hmm?" she blinked.

"Are you in love with her?"

"WHAT? No!" she shook her head violently. "No, I'm not in love with Yoshizawa. I just... I don't know, it's weird, but it's definitely not a romantic thing. I mean, I wouldn't say no if she wanted to - oh, but I'm not trying to come between you! I just was mentioning it and, honestly, I really think you two are good for each other and stuff and, just, yeah, no, I'm not in love with her really." I nodded without really understanding her rambling. "Fujimoto," she said at last, "If you ever need anything, just call me, ok?" I spontaneously ruffled her hair. If nothing else, her fierce loyalty to you was adorable and admirable.

"Will do." I saluted.

Come to think of it, have Yossi or Miki ever told each other those 3 little words? It almost sounds like Miki's scared to hear Yossi say them or to say them herself.   

At the very least, even though Mako means well, Miki's probably just tired of people butting into their relationship.

11-II


I've noticed that when I don't know what else to do, I tend to laugh like a maniac. I mean, I was in utter agony during that foot massage in Hong Kong and just laughing insanely. Of course, you were chanting, squirming, squealing, and spouting random English, so I guess my hysterics weren't too bad.

"Ok," Aya said, looking up from the script. "I'm apparently the initiator in this." I nodded. "So, I'd like to get some practice in before I make a total ass of myself on set."

"Like we've never kissed before," I laughed. "Of course, you're always the passive, delicate little flower." Aya glared at me.

"Do you want me to tell Yoshizawa about the clothesline incident?" I quickly stopped laughing. Aya smirked and scooted her chair closer to mine. "Ok, so practice. I was thinking of a chin lift followed by an eye lock. Sound good?" I nodded and she drew near to me.

I'm not sure exactly when you had shown up, but you scared the living daylights out of me. One second I'm kissing Aya, the next she's being held up by the back of her shirt, her feet dangling above the ground and you're standing there holding her looking about ready to literally rip her head off. I looked at you shaking with rage, at Aya dangling awkwardly, and at the folding chair you'd knocked over. I'd never seen you like this before. My reflexes kicked in. I started laughing my ass off.

My laugh seemed to break your berserker trance and your eyes widened. You looked at Aya as though you'd never seen her before and quickly released your death grip on her shirt.

"Sorry, I, um," you looked from me to Aya. "Sorry," you mumbled and turned around.

"Miki!" Aya exclaimed, giving me a "what the hell is your problem?" look. I knew that Aya look very well, but I couldn't stop laughing. I gestured helplessly for her to stop you. "Yoshizawa, wait!" she called, glaring at me. You kept walking towards the door. Aya grabbed the script ran after you. "Yoshizawa!" she repeated, grabbing you by the arm. You flinched.

"I'm sorry," you said, your voice shaking with anger. "I was just surprised, that's all."

"No, you don't understand!" Aya shoved the script at you. "It's in the script! We were rehearsing, I swear!" You took the paper from her and studied it. I could see the relief wash over you as you read the words on the paper. As you handed the paper back to Aya, your eyes widened.

"I am so sorry!" you exclaimed. "Are you okay?" Having finally stopped laughing, I started walking over to them.

"I'm fine, don't worry about it," she replied with a wave of her hand. She turned on me. "But YOU! What is wrong with you!?"

"It was just so damn funny!" I protested lamely. "The calm cool Yoshizawa turned into the Incredible Hulk or something." Crap. Now I was picturing her turning green. A small snicker escaped. You narrowed your eyes at me. This couldn't be good.

"Sorry," you hissed at Aya. Aya cocked her head to one side. You looked straight into my eyes and smiled. This was definitely not good.

To my utter shock, you grabbed Aya, dipped her back and proceeded to kiss her like you were starring in Mr. Moonlight -The Movie-. Aya flailed about a bit at first, but she was used to these types of attacks and quickly recovered, wrapping her arms around you.

I stared in shock, in disbelief, in amusement, and in utter rage. Turnabout is fair play and all, but come on! It was a peck for rehearsal and this was a full blown... was Aya using tongue!?!

You finally pulled away from Aya and gently set her upright, turning to me with a smirk.

"Still funny?" you asked calmly.

"Point taken," I replied stonily. We stared at each other for a moment.

"Um, I'll leave you all alone now, but, uh..." Aya cleared her throat and turned to you. "If you two ever break up, um..." Oh, no, she wasn't. "Call me. Seriously." Aya fanned herself and walked shakily out of the room. Bitch. You were blinking in shock.

"Ok, Casanova," I said, still annoyed. "You are damn lucky that Rage Yossi was so damn hot, because otherwise I would seriously punch you." I walked over and draped my arms around your neck. "So, let's go back to my place and after you shower and get all that Aya off of you - "

"Miki, what are we?" you asked suddenly. I blinked.

"Uh... female Japanese idol singers?" You shook your head.

"No, I mean... what am I to you? What are we doing?" You tipped my chin up so our eyes met. "What do you want?"

I LOVE YOU, I WANT TO MARRY YOU AND HAVE YOUR BABY, my brain screamed. What the hell, a baby? That's not even possible. Of course, we could try a lot anyway...

Actually, would I even be the one carrying a baby? You might want to do it... you do really like babies. I wonder how many we'll have. I guess we could adopt, too... You'd be the better one to carry a child, actually. I apparently have 'mood swings' and might kill someone if I had the extra hormones. Oh my God, you would be so freaking cute pregnant. I can see you now squealing over baby booties at the shower and -

"Miki?" What!? Oh. Oh, right, conversation.

"I'm not sure what you mean," I replied, not really remembering what we were talking about. You sighed and turned away from me.

"I mean, are we a couple? Are we just friends who have a lot of sex? Are we exclusive either way? I just don't know where we stand really." I LOVE YOU.

"I'm not sure really," I said aloud, trying to prevent my brain from making me word vomit. "I mean, I think we're definitely more than friends... and, well, I thought we were exclusive. Do I need to get tested?" You laughed and shook your head.

"No, I haven't slept with anyone else," you replied. I smiled. "So I guess you're my - "

"Let's get married!" I burst out. Damn you, brain.

"What!?" You burst into laughter and turned back to me. "You're hilarious." I laughed nervously along with you.

"I don't know," I said to keep you from continuing on the subject. "Shouldn't we have had this conversation like, I don't know, a year and a half ago?"

"In case you haven't noticed, we don't really go about things normally, Miki," you replied wryly. And you didn't even get to partake in that insane baby conversation in my head.

"We're more than friends and exclusively sleeping together," I replied. "Sounds like we're in a normal relationship to me." Except that whole thing about me being petrified to tell you that I'm hardcore in love with you because of what Rika said. Oh and the whole idol thing.

"Just a normal relationship, huh?" you repeated. I nodded. "Ok, I can deal with that." I started laughing.

You lazily draped your arms around my waist and smiled down at me. I brushed your hair away from your eyes.

"Better?" I asked.

"Much," you replied. I LOVE YOU.

"Shall we adjourn to my place then?" I asked, arching my body into yours.

"I don't know," you said with a grin. "I think I have a headache."

--------------------------

I came up with Miki's randomass baby rant at work and almost busted out laughing.  :lol:

"I mean, are we a couple? Are we just friends who have a lot of sex? Are we exclusive either way? I just don't know where we stand really." I LOVE YOU.

"I'm not sure really," I said aloud, trying to prevent my brain from making me word vomit. "I mean, I think we're definitely more than friends... and, well, I thought we were exclusive.
Damn, all this time they've been together, and yet they've never really "defined" their relationship, have they? By the sound of it, they've never even told each other those "3 little words".

"We're more than friends and exclusively sleeping together," I replied. "Sounds like we're in a normal relationship to me." Except that whole thing about me being petrified to tell you that I'm hardcore in love with you because of what Rika said. Oh and the whole idol thing.
FOR GOD'S SAKE JUST SAY IT ALREADY!!! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!!!!  YOSSI'S PROBABLY JUST AS DESPERATE TO HEAR YOU SAY IT!!! :mon blowhorn:

You lazily draped your arms around my waist and smiled down at me. I brushed your hair away from your eyes.

"Better?" I asked.

"Much," you replied. I LOVE YOU.
Dammit, something tells me Miki's not going to ever say it. And before you know it Yossi graduates, Miki's scandal comes out, and they meet back in Yossi's room where she throws her pen and ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!! :frustrated:

I came up with Miki's randomass baby rant at work and almost busted out laughing. :lol:
As I said, people who don't find it cute have NO SOUL! :yep:

I LOVE YOU, I WANT TO MARRY YOU AND HAVE YOUR BABY, my brain screamed. What the hell, a baby? That's not even possible. Of course, we could try a lot anyway...

Miki really scares me...  XD

Quote
To my utter shock, you grabbed Aya, dipped her back and proceeded to kiss her like you were starring in Mr. Moonlight -The Movie-. Aya flailed about a bit at first, but she was used to these types of attacks and quickly recovered, wrapping her arms around you.

I stared in shock, in disbelief, in amusement, and in utter rage. Turnabout is fair play and all, but come on! It was a peck for rehearsal and this was a full blown... was Aya using tongue!?!

You finally pulled away from Aya and gently set her upright, turning to me with a smirk.

"Still funny?" you asked calmly.

 :angry: Don't mess with Yossie...

Sorry this part's so short. It's getting kinda hard to make the Yossi and Miki chapters line up right, so Miki's parts are mostly really long or really short from now on ^^;

Well, that and I liked the ending line  :lol:

--------------------------

12-II

I remember everything about that meeting. The cold, hard surface of the table beneath my shaking hands. The sympathetic gaze of my manager. The screech of my chair pushing away from the table. The cold, unfeeling stare of the president.

"Why?" I asked at last.

"We've decided it's time for her to - "

"Oh, cut the crap. What's the real reason?" I snapped to the horror of my poor manager. The agency president's eyes narrowed.

"Why do you think?" he replied. "We're not stupid, Fujimoto, and you two aren't exactly subtle." I was horrified.

"So, graduate me," I retorted, retreating behind my mask of disinterest. The president laughed.

"You? You're half the damn group. She's dispensable. We'll find another boyish character and shove her into the group. The fans won't care. But, you're not going anywhere for a very long time. And between Morning Musume. and GAM, well... you don't exactly have much free time, do you?"

"I could always quit."

"And we could always sue you for breach of contract." Shit.

"You know, you're just pushing around the problem," I said calmly. "You won't let them have boyfriends, you won't let them have girlfriends. You need to pick one or the other or else one of these days, one of the girls will snap and shoot someone."

"Fujimoto!" my manager admonished. I shook my head in disgust and stood to leave.

"What makes you think this will work anyway?" I asked cockily. My boss smiled coldly.

"It worked with her and Goto, didn't it?"

"Um, I'll leave you all alone now, but, uh..." Aya cleared her throat and turned to you. "If you two ever break up, um..." Oh, no, she wasn't. "Call me. Seriously." Aya fanned herself and walked shakily out of the room. Bitch. You were blinking in shock.

You'd be the better one to carry a child, actually. I apparently have 'mood swings' and might kill someone if I had the extra hormones. Oh my God, you would be so freaking cute pregnant. I can see you now squealing over baby booties at the shower and -

And here he basically just insulted Yossi. Not a smart thing to do in front of a girl that loves her.  I'm actually surprised that they told Miki this to begin with. It must mean that they're really confident that they'll be able to get her back "in line" with this.

These executive types...they think that they have the right to string these girls like puppets just because they're signed to them. They're so confident that they have all the power, and that the girls don't.  :banghead:


Quote
"I could always quit."

"And we could always sue you for breach of contract." Shit.
They could, but it wouldn't exactly be good publicity for the company now, would it? Suing a former client? You know that the client (especially if it's Miki) will talk to the press and use their publicity (which, ironically, they could only do thanks to the company) to sway public opinion to their side. Lawsuits like this, even if the company wins, in the end they'll lose quite a bit of business.

Another semi-short part because of the whole lining-up thing. 16 and 17 are going to be freaking marathon chapters in comparison. I'm just warning you now.

----------------------------

13-II

I let myself into your apartment and shut the door behind me. I leaned back against the door as the tears finally began to fall. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Why was I crying? It's not like anyone was dying. I was acting like a spoiled brat who had to share her favorite toy.

Annoyed with myself, I brushed the tears away from my face and walked over to the large picture window in your living room. The glass was smooth against my fingertips. The sun was setting. Management was trying to break us up.

I was overreacting. So what if we weren't going to be in the same group anymore? So what if upper management had been watching us and plotting our end? So what if I barely see you now as it is? So what if this broke you and Maki up?

I groaned and leaned my forehead on the cool, forgiving glass.

I miss you. I love you. I need you. Where are you?

I glanced down at my watch. Your work ended an hour ago. You should have been here by now. Where were you?

I knew they'd told you before me. Were you at my place? ...No, you'd wait for me to come to you. You always felt more comfortable in your own home, surrounded by your own things. It made you feel more secure. Let's see... knowing you, you probably were very cheerful and polite in the meeting and then immediately went on autopilot. Were you out getting drunk with Yuko or something? No, you'd want to talk to someone who's been there. Someone who understood without you having to explain much.

You were at Maki's.

I sighed and stared blankly out the window.

Would you end it as soon as you saw me? Would I be strong enough to handle that? I never feel as weak or as strong as I do when I'm with you. If I told you how I feel, would that make you end it or vow to continue? Do you love me? I'm too scared to ask you. Even now as I sit in this taxi speeding towards you, after everything I've done, I'm too scared to ask you. Too scared to tell you. You make me feel powerful and invincible when you're with me. But I can't say anything because I don't want this to ever end and I would do anything to keep that from happening.

"I love you, Yoshizawa Hitomi." I quietly spoke those words aloud for the first time as the sun set on the horizon. Lost in my own thoughts, I stood alone in the darkness of your apartment and stared into the night.

God, I'm such a sap for you.

The insecure Miki... she was right when she thought Yossie were at Maki's. I wish she could tell how she felt to Yossie because she always being funny and make such a weird comment/reply whenever they were about to discuss some serious matter. And to know what she was feeling for Yossie makes me....  :cry:

And she end up making some scandal to release herself from the contract?? I need to know her explaination to this.... oaky, i know i have to wait... haha...

14-II


It was probably about three hours later when the door finally opened.

"Welcome home," I said without moving from the window.

"Thanks," you said, surprised. "How did you get in here?"

"Oh, I stole your keys last week and made myself a copy," I replied. I'd been planning on surprising you with Bathroom Bikini Miki Part II, but...

"You're incorrigible, you know that?" you said with a smile in your voice. I felt your arms wrap themselves around my waist. I leaned back into the security of your arms. Can't we just stay like this forever? I reached up and touched your face, almost to make sure you were really there.

"...Did you wait long?" you asked in a strange voice.

"Not really," I lied with a shake of my head. "I came here after work. I had a last minute meeting and then came straight here. Where've you been?"

"I had to talk to Maki about something."

"I thought you might," I said with a nod. You released my waist and grasped my shoulders, spinning me around to face you. I looked down at your feet. I couldn't look at you. I didn't want to find out your answer yet. If this was the end, I wanted to prolong it as long as possible.

"Miki," you said in a low voice. You lifted my chin up until I couldn't help but look you in the eye. You looked tired, concerned, conflicted. "They told you, didn't they?" you asked flatly. I wrenched myself away from you.

"Oh, that's right!" I exclaimed, clasping my hands together. "I'm supposed to congratulate you!" I put on my best cutesy voice. "Yocchan~ Congratulations!"

"Don't do this." Your gaze pierced me. I looked away and we both fell silent as the minutes ticked by. A thousand thoughts were racing through my mind. Tell her you love her. Break it off before she can. Beg her not to leave. Laugh it off and go home. Avoid the conversation entirely and just have sex. Grab that loudass clock off the wall and smash it to little bitty pieces.

I snuck a glance at you. You were staring intently at the floor, your jaw clenched, your eyes clouded over... you looked so lost and so in control at the same time. I looked back down at my feet.

"...I don't want to lose you," I said quietly without moving.

"Then you won't," you replied, walking towards me. You put your arms around me and pulled me against you. "We'll figure something out," you murmured into my hair. "We'll make it work. I promise." I clung desperately to the back of your shirt.

"Can I sleep here tonight?" I asked in a small voice.

"Of course!" You pulled away a bit and smiled down at me.

"I mean, literally," I added, looking up at you. "Just sleep."

"I will do my best not to ravage you in the middle of the night," you replied with a grin. I smiled softly. "Hey, come on, now," you chided. "No one's dying. Everything's gonna be fine, ok?"

"I know, I just - YOSSI!" I squealed with laughter as you suddenly began tickling me. "Stop it!" I gasped out. "Seriously!" You laughed. "Oh, my stomach huuuurts now! What the hell?" I said when you had finally stopped.

"I wanted to see you smile," you replied simply. I flushed. "It's getting pretty late, though," you continued. "So, where's your overnight bag anyway?" ...whoops.

"Uh, I forgot it," I replied sheepishly.

"Well, I'm not sure about pajamas for tonight, but I'm sure you have at least a dozen full outfits here from all the clothes that I've found strewn about."

"Hey, I'm not the one tearing them off and throwing them about the apartment!" I protested, following you into your bedroom.

"That reminds me, have you found my bra yet?" you asked as you looked in your closet for something for me to wear to bed.

"It's been four months, Yocchan, I don't think we're ever going to figure out where that damn thing went." I saw you reach for something "And I'm not wearing one of your fug tracksuits."

"Well, you're not sleeping naked!" you declared, finally throwing me a giant T-shirt. "I'm having a hard enough time keeping my hands off you as it is." I laughed as you made a big show of turning around and covering your eyes. I quickly stripped down and threw the shirt on.

"Where the hell did you get this thing?" I asked. "It's freaking huge!" You shrugged as you turned back to me.

"I don't remember anymore. I think it might have been some random wardrobe shirt from '03 that I took home by accident." I snickered and jumped onto your bed, snuggling down under the covers.

You grabbed your standard tank top and loose pants and proceeded to perform a hilarious mock-striptease.

"That needs music." I was laughing so hard I could barely get the words out.

"Hey, I'm dancing. You can at least supply the music," you replied with a grin as you threw your shirt onto my head.

"SAMUI KARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" I half-sang, half-bellowed. You burst into laughter and pulled your pants on. "FUYU DA MOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNN!"

"Doumokou mo Naissu yo, Mikitty!" you exclaimed with your I'm-cute grin as you jumped into bed next to me. I snuggled into your waiting arms.

"We're so weird," I commented.

"Speaking of weird, Maki said something strange today." Maki? Oh. Oh, right. I'd almost forgotten.

"What's that?" I asked, the cheeriness of a moment ago gone. You realized your error.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring that up again," you apologized, pulling me closer. I leaned my head on your chest and closed my eyes.

"It's not like we can avoid the subject forever," I replied. "What did she say?"

"That she couldn't hold a conversation with you when I was in the room because you'd zone out and stare at me." I laughed.

"Yeah, why do you think she hated me for so long?"

"How did you get her to like you again, anyway?"

"Made out with her after the Gomattou Utaban."

"Of course you did." You shook your head.

"Wait. You've kissed Maki, Rika, and Aya, right?" You nodded. "So I've made out with everyone you have?!"

"Uh... not quite." I sat up and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, really! Who am I missing?" You groaned.

"Well, I don't think this really counts. I'm pretty sure she doesn't even remember it. She was really, really drunk," you replied hesitantly.

"OH MY GOD, NAKAZAWA?!" I exclaimed.

"What the hell!? No!"

"Yasuda?!"

"NO! Damn! Abe!"

"Abe NATSUMI!?"

"Yeah, Nakazawa got her and Kaorin totally smashed for their 20th birthday. I ran into them in the street and Abe called me cute, grabbed me and kissed me, then they all laughed hysterically and stumbled off. It was the weirdest thing."

"...wait, so besides me, you've kissed Abe, Maki, Rika, and Aya?" I asked, a grin starting to spread across my face. You nodded. "um, does Tsunku know?"

"What? I don't think so, why?"

"DEF.DIVA much?" You swatted playfully at me. "I always wondered why Rika was in that group," I yawned. You ran your hand through my hair as I snuggled back into my Yoshizawa pillow.

"Comfy?" I could hear your voice echo in your chest. I nodded and drifted off to sleep to the sound of your steady heartbeat.

No, but when you're being forcibly separated from the one person you can't be without, it can feel just as painful.

It makes complete sense. Now that Miki knows Yossi's history with Maki, and knowing that Yossi has gone through this having seen it from both sides of the relationship (i.e. the person being graduated and the person that they'll have to leave behind), there really is no one else that she could go to that could fathom what she's going through.

"It's not like we can avoid the subject forever," I replied. "What did she say?"

"That she couldn't hold a conversation with you when I was in the room because you'd zone out and stare at me." I laughed.

"Yeah, why do you think she hated me for so long?"
Poor jealous Maki. :(



Quote
"How did you get her to like you again, anyway?"

"Made out with her after the Gomattou Utaban."

"Of course you did."
I KNEW IT!!! :rockon:



Quote
"Wait. You've kissed Maki, Rika, and Aya, right?" You nodded. "So I've made out with everyone you have?!"

"Uh... not quite." I sat up and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, really! Who am I missing?" You groaned.

"Well, I don't think this really counts. I'm pretty sure she doesn't even remember it. She was really, really drunk."

"OH MY GOD, NAKAZAWA?!"

"What the hell!? No!"

"Yasuda?!"

"NO! Damn! Abe!"

"Abe NATSUMI!?"
Seriously?  Yossi got some Nacchi action??? :o

And :lol: at Miki's guesses at finding out.



Quote
"Yeah, Nakazawa got her and Kaorin totally smashed for their 20th birthday. I ran into them in the street and Abe called me cute, grabbed me and kissed me, then they all laughed hysterically and stumbled off. It was the weirdest thing."
EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!?? Nacchi was the initiator!??!?!  :OMG:


Dayum. :yep:



Quote
"...wait, so besides me, you've kissed Abe, Maki, Rika, and Aya?" You nodded. "um, does Tsunku know?"

"What? I don't think so, why?"

"DEF.DIVA much?" You swatted playfully at me. "I always wondered why Rika was in that group,"
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...so THAT'S what they have in common.

...

They've been "Yossi-approved". :thumbsup




Damn, 17 & 18 are gonna detail "Miki's plan", aren't they? :cry:  :bleed eyes:

Damn, I *just* finished 15-II. My brain stalled during the last part and I didn't touch the fic all day yesterday. I really want to finish or at least get a good start on 16-II before 15-II is posted, so I'm just doing some comment reply. Sorry for the fakeout.  O0

Just curious, but was this giant t-shirt based off of something that Yossi wore in real life? :O  If so, got pics?
Nothing specific, but this pic is more or less what I was thinking of (May 2003 Hello! Yossi column)

Ok, I have a tendency to do that with dialog, so I went back and added some speaker indicators. YOSSI was the one kissed by Nacchi. Miki wasn't really around yet when Nacchi turned 20.


Damn, 17 & 18 are gonna detail "Miki's plan", aren't they? :cry:  :bleed eyes:

Not quite. 15 deals with the plan itself. 16/17 deal with some random stuff, the acting out of the plan, the fallout, and Miki catching the pen.

18 is where the parts finally join up.  :luvuluvu:

Ok, so I've only written a grand total of ONE more paragraph for 16-II, but I decided to post this anyway. I hope I get lots of inspirational comments.  :lol:

------------------------

15-II

Oh, God, the driver's stopping. Ok, Miki, just pay the creepy man, hope he doesn't recognize you, and go knock on Yossi's door.

...Ok, Miki, why are you sitting on a bench around the corner? Ugh. Why am I so scared to go see you? I'm overthinking! I told you! I left you message after message telling you what I'd done and why.

So why am I so scared? Why did I do this to begin with? Whose bright idea was this in the first place?


I remember I was upset after you broke our three-day date. Not because you couldn't make it, but because you were so angry about it. I was starting to understand why you and Maki broke up and it scared me.

I sank down to the floor, leaning against the wall and put my head in my hands. Now we weren't going to be able to see each other for over a month. And then who knows when after that.

"Fujimoto?" I jerked my head up to find Kamei Eri looking at me curiously. "Are you ok?"

"Fine," I said shortly. "What's up?"

"Should I go get Yoshiza-"

"No," I snapped. She looked at me carefully and sat down next to me.

"I, um, I know that I have a reputation of being kinda... spacey," she said quietly. "But, if you, you know, need to talk to someone..."

"Thanks, but - "

"Is this about Yoshizawa graduating?" I blinked.

"Why would you think that?" I asked.

"Well, I know you two are... well, you know... and I can't help but think her leaving the group would be hard on you two with your schedules and... especially with her taking over Tsuji's part in the play and all..."

"How did you know about the play thing?"

"People don't notice me much," she laughed. "I hear a lot of things."

"...yeah, it's about her graduating," I admitted. Eri nodded and waited for me to go on. I just stared off into space.

"Is there anything I can do?" I shook my head.

"Not really. When management's out to break you up, it's really hard to stay together."

"So, why don't you just quit?" she joked.

"They'd sue me for breach of contract," I replied without batting an eye. "And as much fun as it would be to publicly bash them, they'd drag her into it and it would ruin her career." Eri blinked several times.

"You'd seriously quit for her?"

"Eri, I'd all but kill someone for her." And that's only because the conjugal visits would be few and far between.

"Oh my God, you're in love with her!" she squealed. I groaned. "Sorry," she apologized.

"It's ok," I said quietly.

"But you are," she said with a grin. I stuck my tongue out at her. "You a~are," she sang. I shook my head and sighed.

"OK! Thanks for listening!" I said with an edge of sarcasm. I stood to leave.

"Why don't you get fired?" I froze.

"What?" Eri stood up and faced me.

"You can't quit, but why don't you get yourself kicked out?" I stared at her in utter shock.

"My God, Turtle girl. You're freaking brilliant."



I had to work fast. And secretly. I knew you would never let me do this if you had any idea. I also knew you were going to be pissed off when you did find out. No matter how goofy and irreverent you might act on camera, you take your job very seriously and expect everyone else to do the same. I never expected you to be mad enough to not speak to me, though. Maybe you don't understand that I didn't do this for you. I did it for me. They thought they could control me, change what I do and how I feel. Like hell they can. I'm Fujimoto freaking Miki.


I knew I needed a plan. A good one. One that would get me out of Morning without getting kicked all the way out of show business. Because as much fun as it would be to have you as a sugar daddy, I really do enjoy my work.

So, I did what any other sane person would do. I called the one person who might know you as well as I do. The one person who comes up with the most insanely brilliant plans. I called Makoto.


"Hmhlllo?" What the hell was that.

"...Makoto?" I ventured, wondering if I'd called some poor random foreigner.

"yeeah?"

"What the hell, did I wake you up? It's only 10!"

"It's 1 am here." Whoops. "Who is this?"

"It's Fujimoto freaking Miki." She started laughing.

"And to what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Yocchan's graduating."

"Yeah, she told me like 5 months ago."

"And... wait, can you actually keep a secret from her?"

"Yoshizawa? Of course." Makoto yawned. "She still doesn't know that I was the one who got Aibon to climb into her room in Hawaii."

"That was YOU!?"

"Why are you so mad? You weren't even there," she said sleepily.

"Yeah, I was! I was half naked in her bathroom!"

"WHAT!?" Well, that woke her up. "I thought you two didn't get together until that whole closet incident."

"It depends by your definition of 'get together'."

"What does THAT mean!?" She demanded.

"Whatever, that's not why I'm calling," I said dismissively. "Hey, long distance is expensive!" I protested.

"Yeah, yeah, what is it?"

"So, Yocchan's graduating," I began again.

"Yes, we've had that part of the conversation already."

"And!" Damn, she was tiring to talk to. "I need your help."

"Oh. Well, I'm already coming back for the graduation, but I'll only be there for a few days. Are you planning a party or something?" She yawned again.

"I'm trying to get kicked out of Morning Musume."

"Ok."

"...Don't you want to know why?"

"Well, I'm guessing that they're graduating her to break you up since that's what they did with Goto."

"How did you know that?"

"Oh, I got Goto drunk one night for fun." The hell?! "Anyway, what do you need my help with?"

"Wait, what was that about Goto?"

"What was that about you in Hawaii?" Makoto countered.

"...Right. So, I'm not putting up with that shit," I said flatly. Makoto started laughing. "Seriously. They think they can tell ME who to be with? They think they can make ME do what they want?"

"So, you're quitting and need my help keeping Yoshizawa from killing you?"

"They threatened to sue me for breach of contract," I replied. "And that would just turn into a media circus and I know they'd drag Yocchan down into it. Can't you just see the Friday headline? 'YOSHIZAWA-FUJIMOTO - MO MUSU. LEADER LESBIAN LOVE LIASON!'"

"So what are you thinking?" Makoto said thoughtfully.

"Well, Kamei suggested I get myself fired. But, I'm not sure - "

"'NEW MO MUSU LEADER FUJIMOTO LOVE-LOVE SCANDAL'" Makoto announced suddenly.

"You ok over there?"

"Get yourself Friday'd," she replied.

"...huh?"

"We get some random guy - I can probably call in a favor - and get you and him photographed by Friday. Scandal breaks, you pull a Yaguchi, and bam. Done."

"...huh?" I repeated, flabbergasted. Makoto started laughing.

"Now the tricky thing will be keeping this from Yoshizawa. She'd never let you do it and she'll probably kill me when she finds out regardless. You're going to need to tell Ai and Gaki at least so they're prepared for the fallout... that should make Yoshizawa slightly less pissed off. Now, we just need a time to do this and a guy."

"I have three free days coming up after the concert," I replied bitterly.

"That'll work. Now, the guy... have you ever said on a TV show what your type is or anything?"

"Yeah, on Utaban once. Tall and funny."

"...tall and... riiiiight.... gee, was someone on your mind even back then?" Makoto teased.

"Shut up."

"Ok, I'll make a few calls when I get back. I have a few contacts at Friday too, so - "

"Wait, you have contacts at FRIDAY?!" I exclaimed, "Then what - "

"Don't mess with Ogawa Makoto."

Miki's right. If she's willing to walk away from her own career that's one thing, but it wouldn't be fair of her to make Yossi to do the same. 


Quote
"Oh my God, you're in love with her!" she squealed.

...

I stuck my tongue out at her. "You a~are," she sang. I shook my head and sighed.

Yossi knows and as always had that "there's a time for fun and a time to be serious" attitude. When you have fun, do it to it's fullest. When it's time to work, give it your all.  For Miki to be plotting and risking her career like this, no matter what the intention is, Yossi would likely have a difficult time accepting it.  If she's not speaking to Miki at the moment it's likely because she's still probably recovering from the initial shock and is still trying to process it all. She just needs some time, after all, it took her a few years to realize that Miki was her "mystery girl". :P

Even if she was willing to get completely out of showbiz, it would still be better to formulate the plan so that TPTB would not suspect any involvement by Yossi or that she did it to be with Yossi.


Quote
So, I did what any other sane person would do. I called the one person who might know you as well as I do. The one person who comes up with the most insanely brilliant plans. I called Makoto.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooh...slick. Smart move though. Yossi would have likely noticed that Miki was up to something. If there's anyone who can help her develop and execute her plan so that Yossi would be completely in the dark, it's Mako. :yep:


Quote
"Hmhlllo?" What the hell was that.

"...Makoto?" I ventured, wondering if I'd called some poor random foreigner.

"yeeah?"

"What the hell, did I wake you up? It's only 10!"

"It's 1 am here." Whoops.
Guess Mako never really told the girls of her schedule or where she'd be when she went abroad. :lol:

Makoto yawned. "She still doesn't know that I was the one who got Aibon to climb into her room in Hawaii."

"That was YOU!?"
Mako = :sleep:

Geez she's going a mile a minute! Thing is, she's totally spot on with everything she's said here. The other members probably shouldn't be told, because the more people who know about it, the more likely that someone will accidentally slip up, and the last thing they want anyone to know is that this whole thing was staged.  That would cause an even BIGGER scandal than the one that they're already planning.

AAAAAH! I'M IN THE HOME STRETCH! 17-II is almost done! Even though I spent all day yesterday avoiding it by watching old Utaban eps ("III NAAAAAA~~~~!") :wahaha:

------------------

16-II

For lack of a better location, I invited Ai and Gaki to my apartment to discuss things. Only a handful of people have come over to my place before because the reactions were always really annoying.

"YOUR APARTMENT IS SO CUTE!" Risa squealed as I shut the door behind the 5th gen pair.

"I'm just too lazy to buy new things," I replied honestly. I groaned as Takahashi wandered into my kitchen to stare at my microwave.

"I didn't even know they made a Hello! Kitty microwave," she mused.

"NO WAY!" the reaction queen exclaimed, running over to look. Man, I have GOT to go shopping for new stuff. This is why I always want to stay over at your apartment. We should just move in together so I can donate my crap to some disadvantaged youth - like one of those Eggs or something. If it wasn't for my dogs, I'd never want to come home.

"Ok, uh, so if we could leave the coordinated appliances of my youth and..." I trailed off as their attention had been diverted to my refrigerator. "Uh, guys?"

"Fujimoto, you're kinda scary," Risa muttered.

"What!?" I protested. "Why?" She turned to me incredulously.

"Your refrigerator is completely covered with pictures of Yoshizawa."

"So? I'm in most of them."

"...I can't even tell what color it is," Ai sounded dazed.

"Wait! Some of these are official photos from the store! You went and bought your own photos!?" Risa exclaimed.

"Oh, whatever, Miss I-own-my-trading-cards," I retorted. I spied Ai taking a photo down. "HEY! Those are delicately balanced!"

"Why do you have a Mr. Moonlight photo?" she replied.

"The first time I saw her again was right before that video shoot," I replied, smiling at the memory.

"'Again'?" Risa repeated.

"Besides," I continued, ignoring her. "She looked freaking hot." Risa burst out laughing.

"You don't need to tell Ai that, huh?" she elbowed her friend in the ribs. Takahashi flushed and hurriedly put the photo back. I raised an eyebrow.

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing," Ai said quickly. "So, why did you call us over here?" I sighed and leaned back against the counter. I wasn't sure how much to tell them.

"Well..." I trailed off, at a loss for words. I glanced over at my fridge, my gaze falling on a purikura sticker of you exaggeratedly kissing my cheek. "I'm leaving Morning Musume."

"WHAT!?" they exclaimed in unison.

"They've decided on your graduation already?" Ai asked, looking a bit panicked. I shook my head.

"No, I mean... I'm..." I stared at the photo I took of you and Koharu asleep against one another on the way to an on-location Hello! Morning taping. "I don't know how much detail I should give you. I don't think Yossi would want me to freak you two out, but... basically, I can't stay in the group any longer. I'm going to force them to fire me."

"Fujimoto, we're all adults here," Risa replied. "Just tell us what's going on." I shrugged.

"Ok. Upper management is graduating Yoshizawa and packing my schedule to the brim in order to break the two of us up and have threatened me with legal action if I quit." I looked at the duo, expecting a big reaction. Risa was just nodding and Ai was looking at the fridge. "Uh... 'USO'?"

"We already know about that stuff," Ai said quietly. My eyes widened.

"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," Risa laughed. "I didn't think you knew about that!"

"About what?"

"...nothing."

"Let's just say that Makoto can be surprisingly persuasive about certain things," Ai said uncomfortably.

"So! You and Yoshizawa are leaving together?" Risa asked, trying to get us back on topic.

"NO! You cannot tell Yossi. She'll just try and stop me."

"You haven't told her?" Ai asked incredulously. I shook my head.

"Why are you telling us then?" Risa asked.

"Because, you two are taking the brunt of this. If I succeed, Ai will be the new leader and Risa, you'll be the new subleader. And... maybe Yocchan will be a little more forgiving about it if she knows I was at least this responsible about it." Risa gazed off into the distance.

"Aah~! You're risking everything to be with her! You're even risking Yoshizawa herself! Aah!! It's so romantic!!!" Risa looked like she might swoon. I rolled my eyes.

"So, do I have your... well, not your permission, because I'm doing it regardless, but your blessing, I guess?" I asked.

"Of course!" a starry-eyed Risa exclaimed. "It's too romantic not to!"

"I guess love really does change people, huh?" Ai mused, staring again at my fridge.

"W-w-who said anything about love!?" I sputtered. Risa and Ai exchanged a look.

"Riiiight," Risa said slowly. I glared at her.

"I do have a question," Ai spoke up.

"What?"

"Well, you do seem to have quite the extensive Hello! Kitty collection here - "

"It's from when I was a teenager!" I complained. "I'm just too lazy to go out and buy new stuff!"

"And, I mean," Ai continued unfazed. "...Do you even have that Hello! Kitty vibrator?" Risa burst into giggles.

"Ok, Nice Miki time over. Get the hell out of my apartment, you brats."



On the night of your graduation, I really thought my head was going to explode. Every time I caught a glimpse of anxiety in your eyes, I wanted to blurt out the entire plan. Every time I caught a glimpse of affection in your eyes, I wanted to blurt out my feelings.

Right before your last concert, we followed the usual protocol. Hamming it up with antics for the camera, halfassedly rehearsing dance moves, and, of course, our power-up talk before the concert. Not the stupid one that always gets taped, of course, but the one you ingeniously would always hold in the bathrooms where the cameras couldn't follow us.

"Ok!" You announced when we were all squeezed in and had locked the outer door. "It's the last concert and I - Koharu, you BETTER not be crying over there!"

"I'm not!" Koharu sniffled.

"Good," you replied, trying to hide a smile. "Now, I think some of you thought I was joking, but I seriously do not want you all bawling like someone just shot your puppy, got it?"

"I won't cry!" Reina declared smugly. I rolled my eyes. She'd be bawling for sure.

"You know I can't promise that," Ai replied quietly. She met my eye and quickly looked away.

"Ok, well, at the very least, don't try to make me cry." The other girls nodded. "And that goes double for you," you added, poking my forehead with your index finger.

"I wouldn't dream of it," I replied. "Here, if you think you're gonna start crying, just..." I looked around at the wide-eyed innocents starring at me and whispered the end of my thought in your ear. Your eyes widened and your cheeks flushed a bit.

"ON STAGE, MIKI!?" you exclaimed, starting to laugh. The other girls shook their heads.

"Wait, what?" Koharu asked, looking around. "I don't get iiiit!"

"I'll explain it to you later," Aika sighed, patting the older member on the shoulder.

"OK!" you said a bit too loudly. "Are we ready to rumble? Anyone have anything they'd like to say first?"

"I'm going to miss you and Fujimo...." I glared at the speaking Niigaki. "And Fujimoto looks stupid doing the Shanimuni dance."

"So do you, Gaki. Everyone looks retarded doing that dance," you replied honestly. "Any other revelations?"

"I'm going to randomly violate you in the middle of The Peace!" I stated bluntly.

"Ok, but that means you can't grab my ass during Mirai no Taiyou," you said calmly. I made a face. "All right, then! You all ready?"

"YEAH!" we all yelled. You snickered.

"If anyone was walking by the bathroom, they must be really disturbed right about now," you snickered, leading us out the door.



I remember standing backstage with Niigaki and watching your solo performance on the TV. The other girls were too sad to watch, but I couldn't look away. You looked so beautiful and sincere in your every movement.

"Oh, no, she's going to lose it," Risa groaned when you came out and shakily looked over the crowd. As the intro started, you closed your eyes.

"She'll be fine," I replied with a smirk. Sure enough, you started grinning like an idiot and started singing. Risa looked suspiciously from me to the monitor and back again.

"What exactly did you say to her?"

"I told her that if she thought she was going to start crying to shut her eyes and picture me standing there naked," I replied distractedly as I watched you on the small screen. Niigaki just shook her head.

"I really am going to miss you," she said with a grin.

"Yeah, I am pretty damn awesome."



We spent the night together in the hotel. That was almost a month ago. It's the last time I've really seen you.

You thanked me for staying cheerful throughout the concert. I never told you that I almost started crying during I WISH. I wonder if you'll notice it on the DVD when it comes out.

I met up with Tomoharu a few days later. He's a nice guy and really is rather funny, but the entire event was awkward.

On our way back to his house, I spotted the telephoto lens sticking out from behind a bush. I instinctively pulled your hat down a bit lower to cover my face and prayed to whomever would listen that this would turn out okay.

Also, I know she's already expressed her love for that fanart, but I've got to say.... that's freaking AWESOME. Like, "I'm Fujimoto freaking Miki" awesome.   :k-great:

I just realized I forgot to do a comments reply last time!  :sweat:

So...yeah, here's the comments replies for 15-II.

real snappy dialogue! i wonder how it sounds in japanese :)

Diabolical Eri! Scheming Makoto!

things are really starting to snowball !

i have nothing intelligent to add, i think i dropped my brain !  :inlove:

I was going to be witty and translate part of the convo into Japanese, but then I realized I don't know enough to do that XD

Listen to the girl! Hell, this is now my new catchphrase
:wahaha:

I love Makoto!... Makoto RAWKS in here! Scheming lil fella there, and scheming lil fella's are always great in my books..
And Makoto
evil makoto! hahaha

love the evil mako chapter. ^^

I'm glad everyone likes Makoto in this. I was a bit nervous because I'm messing with her so much - manamin calls her my personal plot device.


She did? I guess we never got to that part during Yossi's POV, huh? :?
Quote from: Yossi Part 16
It was that last day off before my final stretch of performances when I got the message from her. I couldn't find my cell phone charger and the battery was about to go dead. I flipped it open and saw only two words.

"Trust me."

What the hell was she talking about? Had she sent me that by mistake? And why was she texting me this late? I had just started to reply when the battery went completely dead. Great. Now I had to go buy a new charger. Or a new phone.

I shrugged and headed off to bed. I'd get her to explain when we met up in a few days.

For lack of a better location, I invited Ai and Gaki to my apartment to discuss things.
Better to do it here instead of somewhere public. At least this way Miki can be straightforward and tell Aichan and Risa exactly what her (Mako's :P) plan will be.


Quote
Only a handful of people have come over to my place before because the reactions were always really annoying.

"YOUR APARTMENT IS SO CUTE!" Risa squealed as I shut the door behind the 5th gen pair.
  Seeing her apartment must be quite an image change from the normal Miki-sama they're used to seeing. :lol:


Quote
"I didn't even know they made a Hello! Kitty microwave," she mused.

"NO WAY!" the reaction queen exclaimed, running over to look. Man, I have GOT to go shopping for new stuff.
Awwwwwwwwwww.  :k-hello:


Quote
If it wasn't for my dogs, I'd never want to come home.
An-kun and Hima-chan ARE damn cute.  :love:


Quote
"Why do you have a Mr. Moonlight photo?" she replied.

...

 "She looked freaking hot." Risa burst out laughing.

"You don't need to tell Ai that, huh?" she elbowed her friend in the ribs. Takahashi flushed and hurriedly put the photo back. I raised an eyebrow.

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing," Ai said quickly.
Damn that Yossi's slick.  :pimp:  She must have had half of the H!P lineup swooning over her at one point or another.


Quote
"Fujimoto, we're all adults here," Risa replied. "Just tell us what's going on." I shrugged.

"Ok. Upper management is graduating Yoshizawa and packing my schedule to the brim in order to break the two of us up and have threatened me with legal action if I quit." I looked at the duo, expecting a big reaction. Risa was just nodding and Ai was looking at the fridge. "Uh... 'USO'?"
Eh? :? Shouldn't Risa be the one going "USO!" here?


Quote
"We already know about that stuff," Ai said quietly. My eyes widened.

"Don't tell me! You two are - !"

"No no no no no!" Risa protested quickly. "Makoto told us!"

"That girl gets around," I muttered.
Ah, figures. :lol:  I guess Mako thought that Yossi might get wind of the operation and somehow convince Miki to not tell Aichan and Risa of the plan (or Miki might have just chickened out of it herself).  If that was the case, then she would have reasoned that she should just tell them herself, to be on the safe side.


Quote
"Aah~! You're risking everything to be with her! You're even risking Yoshizawa herself! Aah!! It's so romantic!!!" Risa looked like she might swoon. I rolled my eyes.
Risa =  :mon lovelaff:

Miki =  :mon suspect: (I know, I know, it's not rolling it's eyes. The "rolleyes" smiley we have just didn't fit, IMO. For what I pictured Miki's expression to be at this point, this was the closest one.)

Aichan =  :sejinemo: (beats me, I just always wanted to use this one :) )


Quote
"I do have a question," Ai spoke up.

"What?"

"Well, you do seem to have quite the extensive Hello! Kitty collection here - "

"It's from when I was a teenager!" I complained. "I'm just too lazy to go out and buy new stuff!"
So here's Miki, letting the two of them in on her secret plan to let her be in rabu-rabu, and Aichan's focused on her Hello Kitty collection? Or is she focused on all the pics of Yossi that Miki has? :dunno:


Quote
Ai continued unfazed. "...Do you even have that Hello! Kitty vibrator?" Risa burst into giggles.
Part of me wants to giggle like Risa, part of me wants to know if Aichan was being a perv when she asked that question, and part of me wonders...if Miki DID have it, what would have...*cough*...happened next?  :P


Quote
I seriously do not want you all bawling like someone just shot your puppy, got it?"

...

"You know I can't promise that," Ai replied quietly. She met my eye and quickly looked away.
Huh? Aichan? :O Does she...is she?

...

Yeah, I totally didn't write that. XD

I'm guessing that he did it for the boost in name recognition and because he owed Makoto a favor. Maybe I'll write something about it into the sequel (which I'm working on now, btw).
Oooooooh, maybe he can run into Yossi...  8)

17-II

Almost a month later, I received the e-mail from Makoto. The Friday pictures were going to finally be published. It was time to tell you.

I probably could have told you right after the photos were taken, but I was still worried you could think of something to stop me. And now, looking at my phone's empty call history and repeated declarations of 'no new messages'... I wonder if maybe I should have let you.

It was really late when I received the mail from Makoto. I didn't want to disturb you right before your play, so I decided to send you a message.

"Trust me," I wrote. No, that sounds creepy. I rapidly hit the delete button. Or rather, thought I had and ended up rapidly hitting the SEND button instead. I hate it when I do that.

I sighed and started a new message.

"Sorry about that last message. I hit send instead of delete again. ^_^;
I need you to trust me a little right now.
Tomorrow morning, I'm going to be all over the news. But, don't worry! I set this all up myself and, well, it's obviously not true! I only hope you're not too angry that I'm abandoning my position as leader.
Please call me when you get this so I can explain properly.
I miss you terribly and wish I was with you right now. <3
-Your-slightly-nervous Kuwagata-

PS - Have fun with your play tomorrow! 3 days until your Mikitty Time! <3"


You never called. According to my phone, I've sent you 144 messages since then and called you 82 times. It always goes straight to voice mail.



Only Aya would talk to me really. The ones who knew ahead of time - Ai, Gaki, and Eri - sent me supportive mails and kept asking if they could tell people the truth. I maintained that no one be told until I got a hold of you to explain. I wasn't sure how much you'd want told anyway and after what I've done, I figured I have to respect your wishes about something.

Right after recording the now-infamous episode of Young Town, I went straight to the UFA headquarters for my meeting with the president. The meeting itself was surprisingly uneventful, but then again, what could they do? When the boss brought you up, I looked him straight in the eye and said I had no idea what he was talking about. And then my awesome manager piped up saying that as far as he knew, I'd been dating Tomoharu since last fall. I seriously love my manager sometimes. I've been giving him a hell of a time since I debuted and he still does things like this.

"Well, then, I guess we're done here," the president said, his tone giving away how annoyed he was at the entire event. I got up and went to hand him my resignation letter. "Oh, no, you give that to Tsunku," he replied.

"...Why?"

"Because he's in charge of Morning Musume. I don't have anything to do with that." I rolled my eyes and left the room.

Crud, I do not want to see Tsunku. I like Tsunku. I don't want to have to lie to him. But I also I don't want him knowing I messed with his flagship group for my own selfish reasons.

"Yes?" he said, glancing up from what he was writing as I walked into the office with my manager in tow.

"Uh, I'm supposed to give the resignation letter to you," I replied.

"Oh, he's probably hoping I'll talk you out of it or something," Tsunku replied, putting his pen down and taking the letter from me. He glanced over to my manager. "Could I speak to Fujimoto in private for a minute?" My manager nodded and left the room, shutting the door behind him. I sat down in the chair across from the influential producer.

"So," he said after staring at me for a few moments. He gestured at my resignation before him. "This letter here - this is what you want, right?" I nodded. He read over the letter briefly. "Why?"

"Huh?"

"Why are you resigning?" he repeated.

"Uh, well, like it says in the letter, I - "

"This letter is basically a copy of Yaguchi's with a few words changed," Tsunku laughed. Yeah, pretty much. "Are you also leaving for love?"

"Somewhat," I replied honestly. "But also because I'm not going to let some stuffy suit tell me what I can and can't do in my private life. I understand that in this business, I have to maintain a public image, but what I do on my own time is my business."

"But, it did get into the public eye, didn't it?" Tsunku replied with a small smile.

"What?!" I exclaimed in alarm. They've found out about us on top of everything... oh. Oh, right. "Uh, right. The article thing. Um, so, that's why I'm resigning," I finished lamely.

"Mm hmm," he said with a touch of sarcasm. "So, what if we let you stay in the group anyway?"

"I wouldn't have a problem with if it meant that management was leaving my private life alone and not trying to manipulate me to certain ends." He nodded. "But," I added. "It couldn't just apply to me. It would have to be for all of the members."

"I wish I could do that," he sighed. "I really do. But, you know as well as I do that the president calls the shots for that sort of thing."

"Yeah..."

"I warned him that they shouldn't try this. That they were pushing you too far, but..." He shook his head. "Honestly, I never thought you'd go this far. Yoshizawa's a lucky girl."

"Eh?!" I said in alarm. "I - uh - that is - um. What?" Tsunku started laughing.

"Why are you so surprised?" he asked. "I've known about you two for years!"

"...EH!?"



After that surreal meeting, which ended with Tsunku telling me to "give 'em hell", I promised to call my manager with any updates and headed down to the company cafeteria. I knew you had no reason to be at headquarters, but part of me was hoping you would be there.

"Ah! Koharu!" I called out to the young girl. She turned slightly, then quickened her pace and rushed into the room ahead of me. Strange. I hurried after her.

As soon as I stepped through the doors, the entire room went dead silent. It was after lunch time, so the regular agency employees were all back to work. You weren't there, but all of Morning was, as well as Viyuden, Maki, Yasuda, and of course the ever-present Nakazawa. Sometimes I wonder if she lives in the cafeteria. They all stared at me.

I shook the glares off and walked over to Koharu.

"Koharu, have you seen Yossi?" I asked quietly. She shrugged my hand off of her shoulder.

"I wouldn't tell you if I had," she said coldly, walking away from me. I blinked several times in shock. I could feel everyone's eyes on me.

"What the HELL ARE YOU ALL STARING AT?" I demanded, glaring at the entire room. Most of them winced and looked down quickly.

"Did you resign?" Nakazawa yelled back.

"Of course!" I retorted.

"At least you did that right, then," she replied before going back to her newspaper and... was that a flask?

The various conversations started up again. Ai was staring at me, a question in her eyes. I turned away to leave and almost rammed straight into Maki.

"What?" I asked rudely. Goto looked me over cooly.

"I just have one question for you."

"Good, I have one too. Where the hell did those come from?" I gestured at her ample bosom. "They weren't there in 2002, I can tell you that much." I could hear Nakazawa snicker behind me. Maki ignored me.

"Did you and Yocchan break up when she graduated?"

"No," I replied honestly.

"That's what I thought," she replied calmly.

The sound of her hand connecting with my cheek echoed in the room. For the second time in five minutes, I had reduced the place to dead silence. As the busty soloist stalked out of the room, I absentmindedly raised my hand to the cheek she had slapped. The two Chinese girls were staring at me slack-jawed.

"Miki!" Takahashi exclaimed, standing up. "This is ridiculous! Just tell -"

"If they want to believe the worst of me, then who am I to correct them?" I cut her off. "If everyone already thinks I'm that kind of person, then there's no point in making explanations that they won't believe."

"You need to tell them anyway!" Ai chided me. I raised an eyebrow. When did she get some balls?

"Wait, it's not that!" Niigaki replied. "It's just... it's Yoshizawa! Everyone just loves her!"

"Yeah, 'everyone' my ass. I DO!" I snapped.

"...did she just say what I think she said?" Kei whispered to Yuko. Yuko raised her flask in response.

"Cheers," she replied, taking another swig.

"Now that I've been sufficiently shunned, slapped, and scolded, I think I'll go home. Has anyone seen Yoshizawa Hitomi?" I surveyed the room briefly. Finding only negative responses, I turned and left.

"And THAT is why I never leave the damn cafeteria," Nakazawa declared loudly.



My cheek still hurts a little now that I think about it. Goto must still have feelings for you if she's that pissed off about this.

...I still want to know where those boobs came from, though.

Ok, Fujimoto, we've stalled long enough. We can do this.

Ok, we're in the building! Good start!

No, no, don't get distracted and stare at the notice board. ...huh, someone's selling a slightly used PS3... NO! No, Miki, focus!

Ok, door. Door is good. And it's the right apartment even! Ok, now just get out the keys and go in.

Oh, God, I'm opening the door.

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

Fujimoto Miki slowly pushed the front door open and stepped inside. She had just started to remove her shoes when out of nowhere, a pen came flying at her head. Internally thanking her honed Gatas skills, she looked down at the caught object in her hand and then up at the figure hunched over the desk.

"Drop something?" Miki asked, shutting the door behind her. Yoshizawa Hitomi jumped and whirled around, her eyes narrowing as she realized who was standing in her doorway.

I'm guessing that he did it for the boost in name recognition and because he owed Makoto a favor.
I'd say stick with the "name recognition" thing. Maybe make it a "male ego" type thing where he doesn't want to keep having the image of being a goof (even though it's his job, considering he's a comedian :P ).


Quote
Maybe I'll write something about it into the sequel (which I'm working on now, btw). Oooooooh, maybe he can run into Yossi... 8)
Sequel? :O

If he does run into Yossi (and only if he knows that she and Miki are together), he should say something like "Dayum, why do hot girls go for and get other hot girls, but I can't?"

XD


Quote
Almost a month later, I received the e-mail from Makoto. The Friday pictures were going to finally be published. It was time to tell you.
The management must have really made Miki and Yossi's schedules tightly packed for that month so that they would have as little chance as possible of spending time together (if any).  Still though, one would think that they'd still talk on the phone or via emails or something, even if they didn't physically see each other that much.  For Miki, that month must have been hell.  Sure she's not exactly a rookie at keeping a secret from Yossi, but this time...it's one HELL of a secret.  It's one of those potential "make it or break it" secrets for a relationship like theirs.  Just the inability to tell Yossi, compounded with the whole factor of waiting to see if/when the pictures would actually get published...it must've really been emotionally tough for her to bear it all.  :cry:


Quote
I probably could have told you right after the photos were taken, but I was still worried you could think of something to stop me. And now, looking at my phone's empty call history and repeated declarations of 'no new messages'... I wonder if maybe I should have let you.
This expresses Miki's biggest fear, that Yossi will acutally be repulsed by what Miki did and break up with her.  She's now doubting if what she did was the right thing to do.

It was really late when I received the mail from Makoto. I didn't want to disturb you right before your play, so I decided to send you a message.

"Trust me," I wrote. No, that sounds creepy. I rapidly hit the delete button. Or rather, thought I had and ended up rapidly hitting the SEND button instead.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, so that's what happened.  Yossi wasn't supposed to get this message in the first place. :o

You never called. According to my phone, I've sent you 144 messages since then and called you 82 times. It always goes straight to voice mail.
Now THIS was the message that Yossi was supposed to get, but didn't due to her phone battery dying.  Of course, Miki has no idea about Yossi's phone problems then and that Yossi never got this second message.  As far as Miki knows, Yossi DID get the message, but was probably so disturbed by it that she turned her phone off because she doesn't want to speak with Miki or listen to her explanation about it. Right now Miki's fearing the worst, that she's done all of this so that she can be with Yossi, only to have driven her away. :cry:


Quote
Only Aya would talk to me really.
Considering that Miki was still in the middle of the GAM tour when this all happened, Aya would really have been the only other H!P member that she would have been in contact with.


Quote
The ones who knew ahead of time - Ai, Gaki, and Eri - sent me supportive mails and kept asking if they could tell people the truth. I maintained that no one be told until I got a hold of you to explain. I wasn't sure how much you'd want told anyway and after what I've done, I figured I have to respect your wishes about something.
Indeed, it's better to wait in this case. Yossi should be told everything directly by Miki, instead of hearing it third-party from some staff member who "accidentally" overhears Aichan, Risa, and Eri telling the other MM/H!P members.  It's not like anyone else really needs to know the truth anyway, as it won't really affect them or Miki or Yossi in any way.


Quote
I went straight to the UFA headquarters for my meeting with the president. The meeting itself was surprisingly uneventful, but then again, what could they do? When the boss brought you up, I looked him straight in the eye and said I had no idea what he was talking about.
This is the same president who deliberately and callously told Miki that they were graduating Yossi so that the two of them would be split up, right? He knows that she did this so she and Yossi could be together.  Normally, he'd just fire someone who pulled something like this, but Miki's not your typical employee.  If I were him, I'd be ranting like a madman over this stunt that Miki pulled, which was obviously meant to usurp my authority/control over her career.  Then again, this might have been a sign of sorts, showing him that he can't keep treating the girls' careers and lives the way he has.  She's an employee that's "too big" to fire. It would cause too many questions to be asked as well as a lot of backlash/lost profits for the company.  Someone has finally pushed back, and he can't really do anything about it without bringing his own conduct into questioning by the public. 



Quote
And then my awesome manager piped up saying that as far as he knew, I'd been dating Tomoharu since last fall. I seriously love my manager sometimes. I've been giving him a hell of a time since I debuted and he still does things like this.
It's pretty obvious who has the loyalty of Miki's manager.  The only way the president could get an upper hand in this would be for Miki or her manager to admit that it was just a stunt. Since it's obvious that that's something that's NOT going to happen, the president's forced to eat his humble pie and let Miki resign as MM leader, while staying in H!P overall.


Quote
I got up and went to hand him my resignation letter. "Oh, no, you give that to Tsunku," he replied.

"...Why?"

"Because he's in charge of Morning Musume. I don't have anything to do with that." I rolled my eyes and left the room.
Oh PUHLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE! The president says he "has nothing to do" with MM? So it was actually Tsunku's idea to graduate both Maki and Yossi to break up those relationships, and it just fell on the president's shoulders to inform the girls about it? BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULL SHIT!  :scolding:



Quote
I do not want to see Tsunku. I like Tsunku. I don't want to have to lie to him. But I also I don't want him knowing I messed with his flagship group for my own selfish reasons.

"Oh, he's probably hoping I'll talk you out of it or something," Tsunku replied, putting his pen down and taking the letter from me.
Makes me wonder if they had tried the same thing when Mari quit after she got FRIDAY'd. :dunno:

"Are you also leaving for love?"

"Somewhat," I replied honestly. "But also because I'm not going to let some stuffy suit tell me what I can and can't do in my private life. I understand that in this business, I have to maintain a public image, but what I do on my own time is my business."

It would only be fair. The girls ARE human after all. They might be idols, but they still should be able to have a somewhat "normal" life if they can.


Quote
"I warned him that they shouldn't try this. That they were pushing you too far, but..." He shook his head. "Honestly, I never thought you'd go this far. Yoshizawa's a lucky girl."
Wait a sec...Tsunku knew?   :mon one:

"Eh?!" I said in alarm. "I - uh - that is - um. What?" Tsunku started laughing.

"Why are you so surprised?" he asked. "I've known about you two for years!"

"...EH!?"
EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!?!

That sunnovabitch...he KNEW!!! :lol:  All this time, he knew about the two of them and he didn't try to break them up (unlike the company president). Da Soonk is made of all sorts of winz in this one. :thumbsup

Oh right, the others still don't know the truth. As far as they know, Miki just cheated on Yossi and got caught doing it.

Seeing this would have been particularly painful for Maki. Considering her personal history with Yossi, she undoubtedly still feels a strong need to protect her, and seeing the FRIDAY article, she knows that it would just devastate Yossi, so her first thoughts obviously would be "How dare you Miki."  Her anger is understandable, even though she doesn't know that none of it was actually real.

"Miki!" Takahashi exclaimed, standing up. "This is ridiculous! Just tell -"

"You need to tell them anyway!" Ai chided me. I raised an eyebrow. When did she get some balls?
At this point, everyone's still in shock and are probably angry enough that they likely wouldn't believe Miki if she told them the whole story. Besides, the others can wait. It's Yossi that needs to be told this first.

"Wait, it's not that!" Niigaki replied. "It's just... it's Yoshizawa! Everyone just loves her!"

I am seriously nervous about posting this part. I'm all "omg, they'll hate it. after all that build up, they'll be all '...ah.' "

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.

Anyway, without further ado - the end of "memoir"

-------------

18

"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."

"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?"

"Yo-"

"So you didn't admit to it on that radio show? How stupid do you think I am, Fujimoto?" Miki buried her head in her hands. "I think you should leave," Yossi said coldly, pointing towards the door. Miki shook her head.

"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.

"Yoss - "

"I wanted to believe you! God, I wanted to believe you..." Yossi trailed off, her lips trembling slightly. She walked forward so she was only inches from Miki's face and looked straight into her eyes. "Do you have any idea what you've done to me? Do you?! 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.

"It wasn't supposed to be like this," Miki said to herself as she tore her eyes away from Yossi's and turned away. Oh, God, what have I done, she thought.

"I can't hear anymore of this. I don't want to hear your excuses. I don't want to see you ever again. I can't - I just want to be alone so I can crawl into a hole and die, okay?"

"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-"

"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!?"

"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.

"What the hell are you talking about!?" Yossi demanded.

"Can we please stop screaming at each other?" Miki asked quietly.

"Sorry, I just - wait, are..." Yossi sighed and glanced over at a small notebook lying on her desk. "What are you talking about?" The small brunette sighed.

"Well, I - "

"No, wait." 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.

"...Wait, really? I thought you were joking this whole time," Yossi looked completely shocked. Miki laughed and shook her head. "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. 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."

"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.

"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. "So, do I need to go beat someone up or is there something you'd like to share with the rest of us?"

"Rest of us my ass. 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.

"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.

"Oh, that's not fair!" Yossi met Miki's eye and they both started cracking up.

"What is wrong with us!?" Miki exclaimed. "We're 22 years old. We should be able to handle a stupid love confession. For crying out loud, we've been sleeping together for how long now?"

"Two years, one month, two weeks," Yossi replied without thinking. She started. "Uh... I think," she tacked on lamely. Miki raised an eyebrow and the two fell into silence.

"Are you mad? About the whole scandal, I mean," Miki asked at last.

"Yes."

"Did you know that our schedules were being planned to break us up? That they decided to graduate you because it worked on breaking you and Maki up?"

"I kind of suspected. Especially after they picked me of all people to fill in for Tsuji in that play. But... Miki, you've basically committed career suicide." The girl in question shrugged.

"I'm just getting kicked out of the group. I'll probably get put in time out for a few months or something, but other than that, I mean, the GAM concert's continuing as scheduled."

"But, how could you be so irresponsible? 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." She shook her head. "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."



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."

"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 - "

"No, I mean in general. How the hell did I get so lucky?"

"It involved a lot of closets," Miki deadpanned, making Yossi laugh. "I dunno. I have trouble keeping my thoughts straight most of the time. Oh, by the way, I love you."

"I love you, too. You should try writing it all down. Maki told me that once and it really does help sort things out."

"Who in their right mind would want to read that?" Miki scoffed to Yossi's amusement.

"No one's supposed to read it, my darling dumbass."

"I love you. too," Miki replied with a lazy grin. 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?"

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!!  :hee:



Quote
"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.

I found it fun.XD  Almond about the comedians, did you get this from the behind the scenes incident in GoRokkies? 

manamin oooo...a more detailed version of the story.  Nice double meaning about her getting around. I was surprised but she is popular amongst the members.  In MakoAi threads I've read, she's been called an "ikemen"(good looking guy) many times. I dunno why Aichan seemed uncomfortable. When the radio host asked who'd they'd support in MM if they were guys, Aichan said Makoto. :lol:

I am seriously nervous about posting this part. I'm all "omg, they'll hate it. after all that build up, they'll be all '...ah.' "

But FINALLY!
PART 18 COMING UP!

THE REAL END!

SERIOUSLY THIS TIME

...I APPARENTLY LIKE CAPS LOCK!
Oh girl, you so crazy.  :lol:


Quote
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)!  :love:


Quote
"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.


Quote
"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.


Quote
"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...

...


:o (http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c340/J-F-C/JaniceOMG.jpg) :o


Quote
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.


Quote
"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.


Quote
"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.


Quote
"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. :heart:

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.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww...Yossi just loves making Miki uncomfortable like this. She gets so cute as she tries to weasel her way out of it.   :nya:

More importantly, she wants to hear Miki say it again. She likes hearing it. :hee:

"I talked it over with Ai and Gaki before I did it. Makoto knew too."

Thank you so much! I was most worried about going from screaming to rabu-rabu so quickly. I know I can do that in real life, but I'm weird. :lol:
And, yeah, I haven't really watched GoRokkies, so I have no idea what you mean. XD I was going off how much Makoto loved the comedians on H!M (Esp. that one half-naked guy that no one else found funny)

I might be able to write this in as background story... the main storyline has already been decided on, though, and Maki's barely in it and Nacchi might warrant a mention or something. Of course, that's at this stage of the writing. At this stage of writing memoir, it was ending when they had sex in the closet  :lol:

:wahaha:

You made my day :farofflook: :mon XD: :mon XD: :shy2: :shy2:

Sorry for not posting you before. Anyway, I think you really did a very goob job! Great fic  :D :D


I'll be waiting for more  :grin:

YAY! Thank you so much  :heart:

So, it has ended... I don't know what to think. I love the ending, but I'll miss reading this... But I'm waiting more from you :)
I know, I kinda miss being able to lead up to part 18 and being able to go in and add more YoAngst to 18. XD

I gotta love this scene!!! You know, Yossie when she's mad, she'll be the sexiest woman alive!!
Seriously~  :luvluv1:


Thank you all so much for the wonderful comments. I really was worried about posting 18, that after all that build up, it'd be a disappointment.  :sweat:

I AM currently working on the sequel and it will be slower paced and have a lot more filler. The prologue hints at the upcoming conflict and then we go back to rabu-rabu time while the conflict slowly approaches. But! If anyone has any ideas for silly fluffy YoMiki filler, let me know  :whistle:

I have to admit that at first, when I saw the thread in the H!P Fanfic board, I didn't have much interest in the story, actually I didn't think it would be a humorous fic(to be honest the title sounds more like a bitter memories fic to me) so I didn't pay much attention, but once I started getting into the story it grew on me a LOT. Really funny, waiting for the sequel now ^^

And now you got me looking forward for the sequel.  :hee:

This is it? It finally ends??? Thank goodness it's a happy ending.  :D :D I don't think I can take the emotion roller coaster any longer. (Like a certain fic around here :angry: which decides to kill one of the main character!) Neway, love the story and I hope you'll write more.  :)

Thank you so much! I was most worried about going from screaming to rabu-rabu so quickly. I know I can do that in real life, but I'm weird. :lol:
And, yeah, I haven't really watched GoRokkies, so I have no idea what you mean. XD I was going off how much Makoto loved the comedians on H!M (Esp. that one half-naked guy that no one else found funny)
Love is always crazy, full of hot and cold. :yep: Better than being bored, life needs spice. :grin:
meh heheh, Hirumeshi-kun. People didn't find him funny but he managed to get on H!M 3 times!! Makoto laughs way too easily during those comedian segments. In GoRokkies, there's that guy but you can only hear the voice in each episode. He was thankful for Makoto's kindness towards him when she invited him to join the group during mealtime(he felt isolated and was eating alone). I think he's a comedian and his story spread in the community, so there are comedians who are supportive of her. I dunno if it's connected but you see some of the comedy guests on Haromoni picking on Mako or having an interest in her.

Yay!  It was a beautiful and fitting end.  Plus that last line just made it!   Now I'm not saying I'm a Yossi/Miki fan now (I will forever be a GAM fangirl) but your story may have swayed me.  Just a little.  You write Miki really well.  She seemed like the perfect portrayal of narcissism. 

That being said, I'm sad that this story is over.  I look forward to another long arc from you in the future.  And thanks for writing this one!

And kudos to all the people who drew awesome fanart!

"Well, first you threw me over your shoulder and marched us in here, and then you -"  woo~ you go Yossi!

im really having a fun time reading and re-reading the fic so i can get clues to the timeline of each chapter to track down what hairstyles the girls had at the time,
and then making a drawing that strikes some sort of similarity to them.

It's like a detective puzzle game :P

i hope you folks enjoy my fan art. the chapter is indicated in the drawings, you can go back and read the chapters and check if i did Almond's writing any justice :)

Ok, the first one is all "wow, that's awesome and funnysexy."

Then I opened the second one and was all ".............OMG THAT'S FREAKING HOT" XD

Oh, and polidread, if you can't figure out one of the time periods, just ask me ^^;

I'm really glad I decided to wait on reading this until after you finished it. It would have been torture to read one of these funny, sexy, hilarious, well-written, amusing, or just plain great chapters and not know when I'll read the next. Thank god you already started the sequel or I don't know what I'd do with my free time.

Oh man, I got the e-mail notification of a new reply while I was at work, but I don't dare come to the board from there... When I saw it was from polidread I was all "zOMG, NEW FANART?!" :luvluv2:

Then I got home and saw it and was all  :imdead:

I LOVE how adorably oblivious Yossi is in the background.
