@ abok: wow talk about pressure!!!!! but thank you
I am always a meanie unfortunately
that's why I can't tell you why Sayu did what she did but it will be discussed
@ Her Awesome Holiness: Like pairings, I'd like to see how many sibling pairings I can think of and how that works as well...me and my testing
Oh no the Tanagaki chants have started......
@ aussie: Hmmm...I wonder why you didn't think that Sayu could be the ex....
In due time, you'll hear more of what happened and how
@ XcuteX26262X: Sorry, couldn't think of anyone that fits more with the harshness
@ kano-chan: I love yankiis don't you??
Oh no so now I have one rooting for Tanagaki (more like chanting) and another that wants Takagaki....
Chapter 2Reina POVWhen I first heard her confession about her change of heart, I didn’t know how to react because I wasn’t too sure how anyone was going to react normally because the one that is being cheated with is the best friend. As Sayu’s best friend there was only so much that I could do, I have thought about confronting Gaki-san about it but then what makes me think she will believe me? If anything she might turn it around and think I am trying to ruin their relationship or that I have feelings for Sayu. I wanted to reason with Sayu to stop her feelings from developing with Gaki-san’s best friend but she’s right about one thing, they are emotions, you can’t control them. I know exactly what she means by that, all too well, except I wasn’t as strong as her to go through and actually act on these emotions.
When Gaki-san looked at me with such cold eyes, I felt as if my heart was being stabbed at how hurt she was and that she didn’t want to talk to me or look at me. I couldn’t blame her though, I am Sayu’s best friend and it was one of the logical thoughts a person would have and I hope she does overcome this hurdle. I went home and thought about what I could do to save those that were affected by this but who do I think I am?
‘I am just me, Tanaka Reina, no one special’.
After thinking in circles of what I can and cannot do, I finally gave up throwing my hands in the air and plopping myself down on my bed.
I woke up to the door slamming shut and judging by the fact that I live here only with my kid sister, there isn’t really many people that I could be angry at. I got up and opened my door “MIYA!!!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO SLAM THE DOOR SO HARD, I’M GOING TO KILL YOU IF THAT DOOR BREAKS”
“Yeah, yeah I know, I know don’t have to yell” Miyabi hollered at me from the bottom of the stairs. I rolled my eyes
‘As if you will ever listen, you stupid pipsqueak’ “Miya, you don’t really know because every time I come here it’s the same exchange of phrases back and forth” the voice giggled and I couldn’t help but grin that at least one of them knew. I paused for a moment and waited for my brain to function properly from when I first woke up when I realized who’s voice it was as I rushed downstairs to confirm the owner of the voice.
“Reina-chan, did you just wake up?”
“Saki-chan!!!! I am so glad to see you” I almost wanted to hug the girl but could see from the corner of my eye Miya glaring so I lowered my arms
‘Such a jealous child, jesus!!!! She has to curb her jealousy streak’ “I…er…need your advice”
Miya snorted “you need advice from us??”
I rolled my eyes at her “I don’t need advice from you pipsqueak, I need it from your girlfriend”
Saki-tan cocked her head to the side “Why me?”
“For one thing, you have a better head than Miya” I could sense Miya glaring at me but I didn’t care, it was the truth “and I have this situation that I am not too sure how to deal with. The problem is my best friend cheated on her girlfriend with her girlfriend’s ex and…”
Miya choked on the drink she was drinking “Yo!!! What is the girlfriend’s name?”
I looked at both of their faces and it was as if they had seen a ghost “Why?”
“Just tell me damn it!!!”
“Okay, okay no need to get all violent on me. Gaki-san”
“Gaki-san??!!!” they both hollered out to me
“Yeah, now what is the problem?”
“You’re best friends with Gaki-san’s ex???!!!! But…but that would mean…Michishige-san is Gaki-san’s ex???!!!!” I nodded my head “Holy mother of pearl, I almost went to beat her up”
“You what??!!!” Saki-chan and I both stared at Miya in shock, who put a hand against her mouth
“YOU!!!!” I pointed my newly manicured finger at her “You better start explaining”
“Hehehe, um…well you see Gaki-san’s sister is a friend of Saki-tan and I, you've seen her before, Maimi…and…well she told me that she was very upset at how much pain Michishige-san put Gaki-san through and wanted to send out a message to her. I stepped up to the plate immediately because I needed to back my girl up”
“Was that what all that arguing was about???” Saki-chan yelled “You were talking about your plans but Gaki-san found out and stopped you guys???” Miya nodded her head timidly “You buffoon!!!! You’ll get into trouble if they press charges on you guys!!!! I can’t believe you tried to pull something like that when Airin and I were asleep!!!!” Saki-chan slapped a hand to her forehead in disbelief “This I expected out of you but Maimi-chan too, she is so lucky that Airin doesn’t know or she’ll be begging for forgiveness for some time.”
“Saki-tan, Maimi and I just want them to wake up at the damage that they have caused and scare them shitless so that they don’t think about pulling another one of these stunts ever again. Maimi knows that if we beat the crap out of them too badly then Gaki-san would be even more upset because one is her best friend and the other is her lover” I cringed at the descriptive word used “that’s why she already made sure we weren’t going to go too far”
“Guys, I don’t usually butt into your lover’s quarrel but I feel guilty and would like to help Gaki-san get back onto her feet”
“Why don’t you just go see her or something?”
“I don’t think Gaki-san would appreciate seeing me now considering I am or was Sayu’s best friend”
Miya nodded her head “Wait a minute…was???”
“Yeah, when shit hit the fan I had an argument with Sayu about it and basically to put things in simpler terms, we no longer can see eye to eye”
“Hmmm…..well then you can’t do anything and let things run it’s course”
“Miya!!!! I am asking for ways to help not the opposite!!!!” Miya just shrugged her shoulders and I turned to Saki-chan,
‘It’s no wonder I turned to Saki-chan than my good-for-nothing sister’ “Honestly, Reina-chan, there isn’t much you can do because no one can help Gaki-san get on her two feet besides herself. But judging by how much Gaki-san doesn’t want to associate with you, I don’t see how you can not befriend her until she feel more comfortable because the moment she accepts you as a friend, she is one step closer to letting go” Saki-chan gave me an apologetic look for not being of much help as I sat on the couch and thought of her words
That makes sense though, as long as Gaki-san can accept my friendship then more or less she is trying to let go. It’s better than doing nothing and it’s better than letting go of my only chance of making Gaki-san smile. “Yosh!!!” I turned to see Miya and Saki-chan looking at me strangely as I realized that I had unintentionally stood up with my fist in the air. “Er…thanks Saki-chan, I knew I could rely on you better than some idiot” I high-tailed it out of there before Miya could retort as I planned how I am going to make Gaki-san accept me once again, just as friends.
Ahhhh~ networking can be so useful, with the help from Saki-chan and Miya, I got information of where Gaki-san would be as I waited and searched for any signs of her. Today she told her younger sister that she was going to shopping and I can only hope that she isn’t lying about it because then I would look like an idiot sitting at this fountain for god knows how long. I spotted from afar as I got up and hid myself better. Looking at her facial expression, my heart would cringe because she isn’t the bubbly Gaki-san that I was accustomed to, she wasn’t paying attention to the things around her or the shops. She looks like she’s lost some weight as well, dragging her feet, she’s like a walking corpse.
I watched as she sat down at a table in the food court with a drink in hand and that’s it.
'Yosh!!! Reina, this is the moment you were waiting for, don’t give up regardless of the outcome, never give up!!!!' I pumped myself up and walked over to an ice-cream vendor before walking over to her. I placed the ice-cream in front of her and sat across of her, snapping her out of her daydreaming. When she realized who I was, she frowned “What do you want”
'Ouch!!! Expected but ouch!!!'“Erm…I saw you…and wanted to buy you ice-cream…make you happy” I mentally wanted to kick myself for the jumble of phrases
“If you’re here to see how pathetic I am, you have already seen it, now leave” she spat and looked to the side
“I…I…”
“LEAVE!!!!!” Her voice rose and hollered out to me causing those around to look at us.
I had no other choice but to get up and go before I make her even more upset “Sorry for disturbing you” I bowed and walked away with tears beginning to brim
