^Yes it was

Chapter 22

Maasa and Yurina ran into the school and saw the students entering the gym in groups as they try to give Miya and Airi the signal for Momo and Chinami.  They ran to the janitor's closet to take out their small arms and clubs from the bag.  Quietly, they got them into their pockets and walked out to see a guy walking around with a suit on.

“Excuse me, where is the bathroom?”  The guy said as they pointed down the hall and coming out was a henchman.

They hid behind the two pillars until the guy passed them hit him with the club, he fell forward, and all of his items fell to the ground.  As they rummaged through it, they found a card for the building they were staying in, Maasa put it in her pocket and ran off to other side of school.

Once in their spot, they  stood there waiting for the henchmen to come after them but with the time given, they remembered the message that was relayed to them earlier.

“Yurina, so how you and Momo been working out.”  She took out a piece of gum and started to chew on it.

“She is quite hyper and every time we decide to lay in bed, it becomes a game, and makes me tired everyday.  Then, one day I got sick of it so I gave her a kiss along her jawline, I never heard her squeal so much.”  Both laughed and Yurina took a piece and started to chew on it.

“Saki and I have been quite tame, except for the time when we were sleeping together and I felt her hand go up my shirt.  I wanted to say something but I pushed it away and she woke up with a smile.”  Yurina giggled at the story.

“So, its been touching for you guys?”  Yurina asked.

“Not really, we watched each other undress before sleeping but that's about it.”  The taller girl nodded.

“Momo is quite sensitive, she goes in and out of the bathroom or locks me out.  In addition, she usually likes me to cuddle with her and lets my hand onto her midsection.”  Maasa started to drool at the detail.

“Hmm, we tend to be mild and try not to get wrapped up too early.”  Maasa nudged the other girl.

The door opened and seeing Katagawa and his men come in with their suits and bags.  The two went into an open classroom and watched through the window as they passed by them.  Yurina saw one stop and stand guard.  Yurina had a trap in her pocket and threw it onto the floor by the guard, they dropped down and ran to the door to hear the explosion.

“Yurina, something went wrong.”  Maasa looking at her.

“Don't worry, in 3, 2, 1.”  The trap went off and knocked the guard down. 

They ran over to the next area where another guard was there and Yurina took out another trap to distract the person.  She placed it by the door and blew out the door from the room and the guy ran over to see what it was.  The two ran upstairs and found themselves into another storage room with a back door to the stairs out of the building.  They stayed in the room until they couldn't hear the footsteps but it would be a while.

“Maasa, I am worried about Riichan.”  Yurina said.

“Same here, Saki was trying to convince me to take the voucher but I couldn't leave here, not going to happen.”  The other girl nodded.

“True, but I have reconsidered taking the voucher.  I may have to ponder a little more but I think that is the right decision.”  Yurina took out her gun and load it.

“Well, I guess that makes two of us, now let's get out of here.”  Both came out and shot the henchmen with their pistols until they ran out and went into the gym to watch the dance.

[oddball]

I suppose its allways worth talking about your love lives while on a dangerous mission

hmm seems like everone is rethinking about thier decision to not do to hawaii!

[kuro808]

^ its going to be more obvious why

Chapter 23

Airi saw the two walk into the gym and radio over to Miya on the other side of the gym and confirmed the two walk in.  Miya looked across and the thoughts of her being with Risako had been torturing her and even talking to Chinami would always bring her up indiscreetly.

“Miya, why can't you tell it to her straight.”  Chinami yelled.

“I just can't, Risako doesn't want me.”  Miya walked away and Chinami turned her around and felt the slap across her face.

“Never give up, I will be your best friend, and as a friend, be with her one last time.”  It was the moment before she came down to talk to Risako for the last time.

“Riichan, I hate losing you but you made it hard for me to commit and I must face my consequences.”  Miya said to herself before seeing Katagawa walk out of the gym.

Miya ran down to see his gang walking toward the restroom and they all walked in together, Miya crept up until someone touched her shoulder.  She turned and drew her blade from her pocket seeing Airi following her from behind.

“Why you did that?”  Miya put the blade back in her pocket.

“Sorry, I heard you and came in as backup.”  Airi pushed Miya forward toward the bathroom.

As they crept toward the bathroom one of them came out and dove into the open classroom to keep them out of sight.  They heard the footsteps and went into hiding under the cloth near the door and radioing in to Maasa and Yurina about checking up on what they were following.  Airi put down her radio set to fix her ponytail and Miya did the same as she tried to put her hand on the other girl's shoulder.

“Miya, sorry for being a jerk and taking Riichan away from you.”  Airi finishing up her ponytail and Miya froze when she heard the words.

“Airi, don't be sorry, I made the mistake and you won, just keep it that way.”  Miya sat back on the wall as Airi grabbed her hand.

“I couldn't do what I suppose to do, I was going to set her up to send her to jail, but when I heard about her father, I canceled the mission and went on my own to scoop up some information about her.  It was just, I saw myself in her, I had a father who was strict and he trained me night and day to be a good police officer, and eventually I got myself to a good position.”  Miya smiled.

“What was that?  Why are you smiling?”  Airi scolded.

“Risako is too unpredictable after trying to court her, she just wanted to be alone and she thought you were a normal student.  After all this, it seems we both failed.”  Airi nodded.

“Yes, but now, I feel like going to Hawaii.”  Miya glanced back in shock.

“Hawaii?  You turned your voucher back in, right?”  Airi shook her head.

“I never did, I always had mine, she will see there is one fake and will probably ask me about it, but while thinking about it, I need a break from this.”  Airi laughed as they look outside seeing the clear classroom.

They both stood up and heard shots rang outside and saw the henchmen shooting across the hall, Miya stuck the barrel out and shot one through the chest.  Airi saw an opening and caught the other two guys on the other side.  Maasa and Yurina came running back to Airi and Miya saying that Kawajima was with them. 

“He handed over the formula and while experimenting a hole was created by the acid of the vial and it seems it can be paired with explosives to cause a deadly combination.”  Yurina reported.

“Where's Momo and Chi?”  Miya asked.

“They are on the roof signaling to Saki and Rii to get prepped.”  Maasa reported.

“Team Alpha, surround the school, the eagle is ready to dive.”  Airi radio to the surveillance car.

“What does that mean?”  Miya asked.

“It means Rii is ready to take out our target and get your contacts her to drive away.”  Miya nodded.

“Wait, what about the police?”  Maasa asked.

“They know she's there for defensive purposes, they supplied her defensive ammunition.”  Airi answered.

“Okay, Ai and Risa are on their way and let's get to the back of the school to meet them.”  The four went through the maze as quickly as possible just watching the car stopped right in front of them.

[oddball]

Poor Miya  perhaps she will evntually have the courage to say something to Rii before Rii goes to Hawaii.

So Airi was there to catch Rii but she couldnt do it, she seems as though she's gotten away with it from her police superiors hoever!

who's in the car that stopped infront of them?

[kuro808]

^ the story just clouds up

Chapter 24

“Girls get in, Ai and Risa are busy doing another mission.”  Nakazawa said to them as they jumped into the van as they rode off.

“What about Saki and Risako?”  Airi asked.

“They will be fine.”  As Nakazawa's voice faded quickly.
~

“Risako, seems we might have bad weather.”  Saki noticing the clouds becoming darker.

“We always do on kills.”  As she looked through the scope and noticed Katagawa walking out with his bodyguards.

Risako with her finger on the trigger started to shake as she grew anxious with the brisk wind  blowing towards her.  Risako took out another piece of chewing gum still seeing Katagawa standing by the bodyguard and blocking her view.

“Rii, careful play it cool, you may not get him out there but inside can catch him.”  Saki looked through the binoculars seeing an opportunity.

“Okay, there is a spot between the head and the collar, aim right there and we can get out of here.”  She took out her bomb out of her pocket and threw it over the railing.

The guards ran for it and Rii had her eye perfectly on there and pulled the trigger.  The usual silence comes as she dismantles the gun into her bag while Saki looks over to see if she got the kill.  Rii waited as she hastily got everything to the bag and stayed on her back.

“Ok, let's go.”  Saki gave her the thumbs up and they started running toward the exit to find two henchmen blocking the exit.

Risako took out her knife and sliced away at the henchmen not noticing the other one on her blind side and she felt something slice through her and noticed the wound as Saki kicked him out of the way.  They ran down the exit while Risako winced at the pain as she slowed down and rested onto the wall.

“Saki, carry the bag, it is slowing me down.”  She hands off the bag and finally get to the meeting point where no car had appeared.  They ran to the other end to find an open taxi door and jumped into the moving car.

“Sir, take us to the McDonalds in the city.”  Saki hands the money over as Risako tries to find her first-aid kit to wrap herself up.

“So, how you feel?”  Saki looked at the bandage oozing out blood and gave her partner a hug.

“Feels great.”  As they see two women running from guys and they noticed it was Ai and Risa.

“Before we think of anything, let's get to the spot first, and we talk.”  Risako warned Saki as they reached their destination in front of the other two and hit in the alley to wait for them to come.

The two turned into the alley and the dumpster rolled out in front of them as the four ran to the back side of the abandoned building.  The four panting as they entered to find the rest of the crew sitting and receiving their dinner.

“Rii, go lie down, everybody get the medical kit, Ai go call Yasuda, she has access to the hospital if I need her.”  Nakazawa controlling the instant traffic all the girls made around her. 

They unwrapped a fresh bandage and sanitized the area with their antibiotics, minutes later, a woman came in with her purse looking for the stitches and began to fix the cut as fast as she could.  She finished her up and monitored her status.  After a few hours, she left with Risako still in a dazed state and saw Miya right by her.

“Riichan, thank god your alive.”  Miya tears soaking through her uniform.

“Miya, no problem, just a small cut.”  Risako smirked as she tried to comfort Miya,

“Rii, glad you are still here but I forgot to tell you this.”  Nakazawa reached into her purse and took out the announcement and she saw the date.  It was this evening.

Risako looked at it and just put it down as she laid down and started release everything in her system, everyone went out of the room and Nakazawa sat there with her hands on her lap looking over her.  Risako sat up and walked over to Nakazawa.

“I had to do it.”  Nakazawa said softly.

“No you didn't.  You could have sent anyone in my position to take on that hit.  If you were decent enough to care, you would have let me gone there and say my final goodbye to the only person I knew since I was small.  Now, I can't say how much I miss him and how much he has meant to me as a father and a great friend.”  Risako felt the rage build in her but her body was too tired to try to attack her.

“I'm just sorry, I have your plane ticket to Hawaii in the morning.  Say goodbye before you sleep and I am officially off the job.”  She walked away and placed the vouchers on the table by the door.

Risako looked up through the window and could only mumble what she would have said to her father but now feeling the emptiness in her, she closed her eyes.

[kuro808]

Okay its an end to the fic but i'll change it after this

Chapter 25

The next morning she packed her bags into the van with Ai at the wheel to drive her to the airport.  Risako stood in front of the group and was ready to say her speech but seeing their reaction, she paused before say her speech to take one last breath.

“Hey everyone, sorry for being a killjoy but it has been fun being with you guys and wish you guys are considering to come to Hawaii.  I would like to thank everybody.”  Risako walked up to Saki.

“Partner, you helped me in this process, I am gonna miss you, thank you.”  Risako gave her a hug and feels the tears penetrate through her clothing.

“Yurina, Maasa, keep Miya safe for me, you two are the best bodyguards I have met.”  Both embraced her with tears in their eyes.

“Momo, Chinami, you two keep doing your work, and I wish you guys luck.” Both gave her hug before going onto the next person.

“Airi, don't cry, you are a good friend and don't feel bad about everything we went through.”  Risako looked passed her and saw Miya in the corner.

“Mi....ya”

“Rii....chan.”  She came running to her and tackle her to the couch.

Miya couldn't contain herself as she held her in her arms as doll and put her head on top of her shoulder while Risako run her finger through her hair.

“Miya, I don't know what to say, have fun with Chii.”  Risako said with little enthusiasm.

“No!  You can't hide it anymore, tell me.”  Miya grabbed her shirt and pressed her body on top of her.  “Tell me.”

Risako pushed her off to the table and broke the weak table into half, she dusted off herself and walked to the door.

“Miya, you had your shot and blew it, Chinami is happy to have you.”  Risako picked up her last bag and walked out.

Miya ran out and started to shout out everything that was in her heart and broke down in the front.  With everyone surrounding her, Risako waved her last goodbye and leaned back in the seat while Ai drove off.

“Rii, that was cold, why?”  Ai asked as she drove her way down the highway.

“Miya, I love her too much to admit it, she feels the same way.”  She looked out onto the river with her arms crossed.

“Why didn't you just say it?”  Ai asked as she sipped her coffee.

“I can't ruin three peoples' lives.”  She straightened herself up.

“I see.  But sometimes you have to hurt people you care to be honest.  If you cared for her, you would tell her the truth.”  Risako looked down and saw the airport ahead.

“I guess she'll never know.”  Risako mumbled as the van stopped.

“Okay, if your mind and heart says so, you can leave it be, and if you have any regrets, you can't change it.”  Ai warned.

Risako took her bags and went into the check-in without answering Ai's question and waiting to be called to be boarded.  Then, she saw something in her bag.

Rii~

I truly regret saying this

I love you

Chinami wanted me to be happy

So, I wrote this behind her back

She only knows how much I would like to be with you

What can I say for you to forgive me

I would do anything

Even if you leave

I will miss you

I can't forget you

I hope you can remember me too

Risako folded back the paper and held it to her heart, she remembered the first day and until the last moment.  She heard her flight and was looking forward to her new life in Hawaii.

[oddball]

Miya  Rii

I beg for happy ending! 

please please please please please please please please!

[kuro808]

^ one day

and yeah new title to the continuing story

Chapter 26

She arrived in Hawaii with a new mindset as she exited the airplane, she saw two people in sunglasses, with her name on a sign.  One with a smile and the other looking away from her with her hand on her hip.  She walked toward them and the one with the sign took off her sunglasses.

“Hello, Ms. Sugaya.”  She said with a smile.

“Who are you guys?”  She asked as she saw two other people pick up her bags.

“We are a new agency that brings talented people to our office, My name is Kamei Eri and this is my partner Tanaka Reina.”  The other girl waved nonchalantly.

“What type of talent?”  She asked as the two in the back of them gently put down the bags.

“We heard of your run of kills and we are impressed by that...”  Risako walked passed them and grabbed her bags.

“No, I do not want that type of job anymore.”  Reina jerked her back.

“You spoiled girl, we don't want you kill anymore, we want you to spy.”  Reina scolded as she looked at the four girls.

“Spy?  Why spy?  I can't do that, I never trained for that.”  Reina laughed at the comment.

“No training is needed, you are just perfect for our placement.  Jun, Sayu, take her to our place NOW!”  Reina yelled as they escorted her to the car.

Risako looked around and seeing the people smiling only made her feel worst to be here right now.  She saw the white van and remembered what happened two days earlier with her stitches still fresh.  Jun and Sayu sat in the front while Eri sat with Risako and Reina in the back,  Eri gave her a piece of paper and had the information of her arrival.

“Risako, we know how great of a killing machine you are and when we heard about your father's death, we were the ones to ask him about Hawaii and we would take care of you.”  Risako punched the seat.

“He said I would live a normal life and don't get into this ever again.”  Reina faint laughter irritated her.

“What's your problem?  You probably didn't do anything like what I did.”  Reina told them to stop the car and came out with Risako.

“You know what, you are such a pain, being young and thinking you are the best at everything, you don't know what I went through, so SHUT UP!”  Reina threw a punch and Risako blocked it.

“Hehe, I guess someone was trained in self-defense, but not this.”  She went into her pocket and took out her gold nails.

Reina lunged straight at her and she tried to avoid until feeling the bridge behind her and swung her around causing Reina to go over and Risako grabbing her at the last moment.

“Well, you were taught well.”  Risako pulled her up and she dusted herself up.

“Let's get to the office before we attract any attention.”  Kamei rushed everybody back in and sped their way through the highway until reaching their destination in downtown Honolulu.

Risako looked at the office and everything looked brand new and expensive, the polished goods were impressive to her eyes, and she sat on the chair right across of Eri.  She went onto her desktop to find her file and saw something that surprised her, Ishikawa Rika.

“Ishikawa Rika, former spy, teaching in Japan.”  Risako looked up in surprise as she remembered her.

“Ms. Ishikawa, was a great spy but gave it up for love, she used to run everything here but saw her girlfriend here vacationing and couldn't get out of her head.  Her mission was with the woman and her connection to the yakuza, the guy you killed.”  Eri started as one of them handed her coffee.

“Ms. Sugaya, do you want anything to drink?”  The girl asked as she saw water as a viable option.

“Water please.”  She responded and the girl walked away.

“Isn't she cute?”  Eri smiled and Risako followed.

“To continue, Ishikawa knew what her girlfriend was doing and convinced her not to do it anymore causing the sting to take his cooperation down here, K&K trading.”  The girl offered her glass and walked away.

“I see, but now why did you pick me?”  Risako asked before taking a sip of the water.

“Well, we needed a person to help a friend of ours, he's been a teacher for a year, and he just informed us that people are after him after he acquired information about a plan that will assist in the killing of many students and it might be caused at one event in about a month's time.”  Risako looked at the watch and it was late summer to her.

“So, basically take down the group before they blow up the area, correct?”  Eri nodded.

“Jun will be assisting you with your work, she has been our best helper since we got her years ago, and now this is her first field assignment.”  Jun ran up to Eri and introduced her to Risako.

“Okay, as long as I don't have to kill, but....”  Eri leaned over to her.

“But what, just say it.”  Eri smiled.

“Well, I still have a regret.”  She said quietly as Eri let out a sigh.

“Regrets can be solved one day, don't worry about it now, so you start tomorrow and wear whatever you want.”  Eri looked at her and decided to give her some of old clothing from the bag.

“Thanks, but...”  Eri paused her.

“Your room is down the hall on the right.”  She picked up the clothes and walked to the room where it was white walls and just a bed near the window was for her.

[oddball]

So we continue.... in part two! 

So Risako is a spy now?

Yay Jun in this fic 

I hope Miya will make a return, I want her to settle things with Rii 

[kuro808]

^ one day they will be back but to make up, we'll see

Chapter 27

Risako set up her plain room with what she had which was the clothes and the pictures of her friends in Japan.  She put them into the drawer and closed it while she stocked up her closet.  Her temporary partner walked in with a smile on her face.

“Risako?  Shall I call you by a different name?”  Jun politely asked as Risako tried to sort out her socks.

“Rii-chan is fine Jun.”  The younger girl said as she saw a mismatched pair.

“Let me have them.”  Jun in a happy tone as she rolled them up into a ball.

Risako still with the look of disgust in her face watched the older one tossed the rolled socks in her hands as she amusingly tossed it left and right.  She looked at her bed and walked over to the main office to see Reina supervising and walked away before the yankii caught her attention.  Risako turned and saw her face from serious to a cheesy smile.  She walked up to her and put her hands on the table as Reina glared at her.

“So, you had a girlfriend in Japan?”  Risako took a step back and tripped over the chair behind her.

“It is a long story.”  She said as she picked herself up.

“Don't play stupid with me.  I know you were paired up with someone there, someone had to be with you if you were a sniper.”  Reina said as she put her legs on the desk.

“She wasn't my girlfriend but my operations partner and I had someone but they ruined it.”  Her voice elevated as she said the last part.

“So nasty break up?  Reina knows about that, you wanted to be free but never felt any freedom so you force it upon others and hate you for it.”  Risako sat in the chair as she realized what she had done.

“Don't worry, I don't want to hear the gushy details but the surface, Eri would make it private but I like everyone to know.”  She laughed as Eri stepped in and stopped the conversation.

“Reina, how dare you degrade her?  You get out of here and do your break, I'll speak to you later.”  Eri yelled as Reina picked up her bento and walked out of the office.

“Rii, don't worry about her, she wants to dig into you and drag everything out of your body.  She is loveable but in the end, she's our best interrogator.”  Eri explained as she offered her a lunch and escort her to the meeting room.

“I feel fine, it's just something I have been trying to fight in my body.”  Risako opened it up to see vegetables and a piece of chicken over rice.

“Love is such a hard thing to describe, you want it but can't force it and when you truly see it, you know you blew it.”  Eri looked over to see the younger girl in tears.

“I messed up.”  Risako said in a low voice.

“Don't worry, you make mistakes, but you learned from it right?”  Risako shook her head.

“It was my first time and I had her in my hands but threw that away.”  She whimpered as Eri lend her a napkin to blow her nose.

Eri comforted the younger girl as she cried through the afternoon and she thought about how Risako felt at her age and remembered her failure but since meeting Reina, she saw something that attracted her, the caring side as she would ask if she was okay and what else she can help with.  Eri saw her face red and her eyes still raw from the crying and gave her a stack of paper, mentioning the operation and the set up for what she has to do.

The person, Mitsui Aika, has been targeted for kidnapping when she arrived with her family in Hawaii couple months ago and the agency has been assigned to control the situation and has come down to needing more security. 

“Ms. Mitsui is from the famous textile family.”  Risako wiping away the tears and Eri nodded.

“We wanted someone with a self-defense background to protect her from anybody and tomorrow starts your mission.”  Risako looked at her and realized she had so many questions about school in America.

“Before you ask, don't worry about anything, if you need clothes, we have but you can use whatever to your disposal but no weapons.”  Eri explained as she looked at the younger girl.

“Okay, so what about Jun?”  Risako asked.

“Jun will monitor the exterior with Sayu and you just go to your classes.”  Eri handed a class schedule.

“Good luck and keep your questions to a minimum.”  Eri left the room and Risako ate the cold bento as she tried to recover herself.

Risako found herself wanting something she couldn't have or get unless she returned to Japan but knowing this, she cannot abandon her new mission as a spy and with Jun and Sayu, it will be an interesting showing knowing only tomorrow was back to school for her.

[kuro808]

Chapter 28

The next morning she woke up and saw Jun sitting next to her with a plate of eggs and rice and a glass of orange juice.  Jun left it on the table next to her as she tried to get up from her slumber, Risako spent the whole night staring at the ceiling and had flashbacks to her own failure.  Every time she wanted to sleep, she saw Miya and she wouldn't leave her alone.  She ran to the alarm clock as the minutes slowly went by, she found herself crying herself to bed.

“Jun, before you leave, is there something you can do for me?”  She asked.

“Yeah, sure.”  Jun replied as she sat in the chair next to her.

“I want you to hug me.”  She said.

“Okay....”  Jun put her arms around the younger girl and felt the tears run down her shirt.

Jun wanted to ask a question why but somehow she felt something in her to not to bother the moment and kept her near to swallow her fear.  She put her face up and smiled as she wanted a person to feel her pain and luckily Jun was there.  She got up and went to the bathroom to find the place being cleaner than the other room and seeing the scrawny janitor.

“Heyo new person.”  She said.

“Wow, you are great with your work.”  Risako looked at the clean room and the sparkle amazed her.

“Hehe, thanks you are the first person to tell me that.”  The janitor went to her room.

“Ah what is your name?”  Risako extended her hand.

“The name is Linlin and just you are, I am a spy for the company but they keep me as last resort.”  She giggled as she put her gloves away.

“I see.  I am going to use the nicely cleaned bathroom, so see ya later.”  Risako said as she closed the door. 

She did her business and came out to Jun handing her clothes and she changed into a t-shirt and jeans and sneakers.  Risako picked up her bag and never thought how light it was and when she looked in there, she saw a bunch of small items not even related to school.  She ran over to the main room to find Sayu overlooking the office.

“Why do I have weapons and no school supplies?”  Risako asked as she dumped the things onto the desk.

“Reina and Eri were considering that you get a out of class pass but they wanted to give you something to protect yourself.”  Sayu said as she filed her nails.

“I usually get two bags one for school and one for work.”  Eri came from behind.

“Well, we don't need you to stay in class for a while, you just have to escape every so often, because you are Mittsi's secretary for student council.”  Risako's jaw dropped as she had to do something extracurricular for the first time in her life.

“Damn, are you serious?  Okay I'll do it like this but I really need to protect myself.”  Eri laughed.

“Well here's a surprise.”  She turned and stood there in fear.

“Hey Risako, I missed you so much.”  The girl with the glasses said as she embraced the younger girl.

[oddball]

Poor Rii, she was to late to realize that she really did love Miya shame it took Riena to tell her rather than fuguring it out herself

LinLinman the spy/janitor!

Wonder who it is that makes the apperance at the end of chapter 28 looking forward to finding out!

[kuro808]

Chapter 29

Saki with her glasses on embraced the younger girl as Risako stood there wondering why would she come here.  Eri looked at Saki with concern as she tried to figure out how she got there and Reina appeared with her cup of tea.

“Reina, how did she get up here?”  Eri asked.

“I brought her up and she was wondering around the city with her suitcase wondering if anyone saw Rii-chan, I told her I knew where she was but I had to keep her quiet until we got here.”  Reina explained as she went back to her usual office work.

Jun greeted the new girl and escorted  her to the empty room as Risako picked up her bag and walked out to go to school.  She looked at her watch and knowing she was 10 minutes late, Jun came blazing down and jumped into the car.

“Okay, I have been learning how to drive so here we go.”  Jun stepped on the gas and the car flew forward as she concentrated on the road, she passed six stoplights in a minute.

“Jun, slow down, in case of police.”  Risako warned as she heard the sirens but they all passed Jun.

“Don't worry, I'm under the speed limit.”  Jun smiled as she blitz her way through and skidded into the parking lot.

Risako walked out to feel the pavement and took a deep breath before entering the classroom she was supposed to be in and the teacher gave her a note.

Meeting at 8:00 in the library for Risako.

Risako ran over to the library and saw two people on the table, an older lady and another student talking to each other as they waved her over.

“Hello Risako, we like to welcome you to our school, I am principal Mrs. Lee and our student council president Aika Mitsui.”  She shook both of their hands as they continued on to the conference room for orientation.

“I heard you were sent here on exchange from Japan, so I welcome you and Aika wanted to personally asked about the weather.”  Zthe older woman continued.

“Its been warm but here seems a little more warmer but less humid.”  Aika smiled as she gave her a complimentary pen.

Risako was in the room with the two people for about an hour and was left with Aika for the rest of the day.  The older girl took her around for a tour and as she tried to explain something, a janitor who seemed to be cleaning up started to stare at the two and Risako felt uncomfortable.  Risako walked closer to the janitor to see it was a young man admiring the two but something didn't seem right and excused herself from Aika.

“Why are you staring at us?”  Risako said to the janitor.

“Because I am her personal bodyguard, the name is Kimo, nice to meet you.”  Risako shook his hand and went back to see on Aika.

As she walked back, she saw the sprinklers turn on and she jumped onto the sidewalk in time.  She followed Aika throughout the tour and decided to talk to her in private.

“Aika, you know why I am here right?”  She nodded.

“Yeah, but some of these people are after me instead of protecting me, my father even fears for my best friend to be an enemy.”  She explained as she took out a picture set with her and another girl who look liked Jun.

“Who is she?” Risako curiously asked.

“She is Julie Chun, she is a student at the local university and she came from China to learn more about environmental sciences.”  Aika explained and knew it was Jun after taking a closer look.

“I see, but you can trust me, I know you may not yet but give me a chance and I'll prove it.”  Risako smiled as she gave her a card before going off to her next class.

Yay Saki is back! Rii will hopefully be happy with this

[kuro808]

^ The situation is that Jun was originally there and Risako from her recent adventure back in Japan, she knew about it, so Jun who had already heard about it, had to keep quiet

Chapter 30

Risako heard the bell rang and tried to look for the next class but felt someone pulling her inside and she feared that it was a molester so she jumped on top of the person and realizing the shape, she turned on the light to see a tall woman with make up on.

“Rii-chan, Ohayou.”  She said in a soft voice.

“It can't be.....Maasa?”  She questioned as she washed off the make up.

“Yup, now you must be wondering why I am here.”  Risako nodded.

“Saki left in the morning and wrote out a note for me saying that she missed Risako and would find a way to get her back to Japan, so I kinda knew where she was going but the location of where you were, was my task.  I heard that people picked you up and took you in as a new spy, so I looked up the reason why and saw the Mitsui name come up, therefore I walked in and hid in here for the time being.”  Maasa explained.

“It's a janitor closet though.”  Risako scratching her head.

“Yeah, but I have a job at a local game arcade and couldn't wait to see you.”  Maasa held onto her arm as she heard footsteps.

“I see.”  Risako whispered.

The two listened to the chattering until the bell rang and it went silent as they peeked out of the hole, they saw two people talking to each other in casual clothing.  They saw a transfer of paper and went their separate ways.  Both barged out and saw the area empty as they looked around but the security guard was out there patrolling.

“Hey there kid, what you doing out of class?”  The guard asked.

“Sorry, I was wondering around and got lost.”  Risako lied as Maasa walked on by with her uniform on.

“First day eh?  No worries. I can help.”  The guard escorted her to the building over and Risako thank him as she entered the room.

She looked around to see the students staring at her and took her seat in the back, as she looked at the packet in front of her, she flipped through all the pages and giggled.  She took out her pencil and did all the problems in fifteen minutes.  She closed the booklet and took out a piece of gum for her to chew on as the teacher explained the packet.

Minutes later, a big explosion came from the building next to them, Risako ran out to see the thick smoke and students running all over the place.  Risako peeked in and smelt gasoline, she evacuated everybody out of the building with help of the students and saw another explosion go off in the same room and the flames erupted.  Aika, who was in the adjacent room, came out and saw the flames erupt and tried to run down the stairs.  Risako took her over to the side and shaded themselves from everybody.

“Rii-chan, you alright?”  Aika asked.

“I'm fine.  Why were you still in the room?”  She asked.

“I had my homework in there and turned it in before I heard the explosion but telling everybody to get out was difficult.”  Aika explained as Risako remembered the guy who had the paper and the blackish color caught her eye.

“Risako, I want you to be honest, can you protect me?”  Risako looked up and took a deep breath.

“Yeah I will, I just need to do some planning on my part to do so, ok?”  Risako looked over to the field pass the fence and climbed over with Aika as they evacuated the school into the busy streets of the city.

Chapter 31

Risako and Aika had stepped into busiest time usually for the Hawaii people, lunch time, seeing the people walking back to their workplaces after their meal.  The businessmen bumping each other and almost causing a ruckus in the middle of the sidewalk.  Both walked into Jamba Juice as Aika ordered them two Orange Dream Machines.  As they waited for their order, a girl stepped into line looking a little nervous to order and ran back outside to the streets to compose herself.

“That girl looks familiar....”  Risako trying to remember the face with the name.

“You should talk to her.”  Aika suggested as she went to get their smoothies.

Risako walked outside to see the girl still trying to decide and she touched her upon the shoulder and noticed it was Momo.

“Rii-chan, you're here.”  The gleeful teen said as she squeezed her in her arms.

“Yeah, but why did you run out?”  Risako asked as she pulled her to the side.

“I wanted to order but I can't speak English well.”  Momo nervously smiled.

“Okay, let me get you something and you can join us.”  Risako suggested and followed her back into the store.

She put in the order and saw the two talking as she approached the table.  She took a sip of the smoothie and smiled as they continued their conversation.  Before she heard her name called, Momo took her outside and gave her a piece of paper.

“Miya really misses you a lot and she wanted you to look at this.”  Momo said softly as she went back into the store to pick up her smoothie.

Dear Rii,

I am sorry for causing you all this trouble back in Japan and I truly regret being a bad friend when you needed someone and to make up for it, I wanted to give you a present before you left but you went on ahead.  Momo told me that the only way I could be happy is to go to Hawaii to see you but I just don't feel ready to do that yet.  I have my voucher still but won't turn it into a ticket until then, I hope you understand that I still like you a lot and wanting you to be here in Japan.  I will let Momo know about my decision to come but for now, I give you a ring with our initials on it.  Wear if you want to, but if you do not like it, please give it to Momo instead of throwing it away so I know how you feel.

-Miya

Risako teared up after reading the letter and looked at the ring at the bottom with their initials on it and just stared at it to decide to wear it or not.  She walked back in and both were still in the conversation as she placed the ring down.

“Wow, a ring, whose the lucky person, Rii?”  Aika asked as Momo took another sip from her smoothie.

“It was a friend from Japan and I am trying to decide if I should wear it or not.”  The girl contemplated about the ring.

“I think you should...”  Momo stopped her as Risako picked it up and put it on her finger.

“Rii, forgive Miya, she's been calling me since I came here, and it is driving me crazy seeing you two be like this.”  Momo whispered as Risako admired the ring on her finger.

“Give me the phone, Momo.”  Risako looked through her contacts and dialed Miya.

“Hello, Momo, did she accept the ring yet?”  Miya asked.

“Miya, its me, Riichan, I forgive you but won't forget the stuff you put me through, if you come to Hawaii, I will talk about it more, so thank you.”  A silence came upon both of them as another person came on the phone.

“Rii-chan is that you?”  The girl asked.  “Miya is really happy to hear back from you.”

“Airi, come to Hawaii too, we need your help.”  Risako hung up as she went back to her melted smoothie.

[oddball]

Yay Rii but the ring on! Dammit Miya go out to Hawaii so you can sort your problems out with Rii and get together! wonder why Miya and Airi were together though?

The chapter will come up

Chapter 32

Risako enjoyed the afternoon with Momo and Aika, she walked through the streets of Waikiki, enjoying the breeze, and sightseeing the strip.  Momo with her Hawaii connection found a loophole in which she became a university student for free.  She carried her small bag around and looked for the hot spots and offered to search for stuff as the journey continued.  Then, they saw a couple holding hands and see them snuggling up with each other.  Risako couldn't bear the sight as she turned and saw a  sign and tried to diverge their attention but it was to no avail.

Aika tilted her head to the side as Risako could only put her head down and avoided looking at all the couples and Momo took Aika to the side.

“Sorry for you to see this but the ring was a make-up present.”  Momo whispered.

“Make-up present?”  Aika questioned as Momo told her to lower her voice.

“Yeah... Miya was trying to get Rii but Airi liked Rii and never got a chance to show her feelings, so Miya is planning to confess.”  Momo explained.

“How romantic!  They must really like each other though but Rii-chan has been quiet about her past life in Japan.”  Aika responded as she only knew the reason why she came here but not the personal problems.

“To be honest, I came here on my own, my partner decided to come down later and....”  Momo got interrupted by a long legged girl.

“Momo?  Is that you?”  The girl lowered her glasses.

“Yurina-chan, I missed you so much.”  Momo squealed as she jumped onto Yurina.

“Same, does Rii know about Miya?”  Momo nodded.

“Ah I forgot, Aika, this is Yurina my girlfriend and Yurina this is Risako's duty for now Aika.”  The younger girl bowed.

The three stuck together as they watched Risako drone the streets of the city and still with the sad expression on her face.  The three caught up to her and went to the ice cream shop to cheer her up and looking over the selection, she ordered a chocolate cone, and sat down eating her ice cream without saying a word.  Yurina shook her shoulder and smiled but it was no use as she seemed to go down into a depression.  Aika took her outside into a private place as no one would look inside and tried to give her a pep talk.

“Rii-chan, do you like Miya?”  She nodded.

“Then you should be happy she is coming down.”  Rii took a deep breath.

“I want to be but she was the reason why I left Japan, I liked her so much that I couldn't stand being around her, I just couldn't say...”

“I love you?”  Aika finished the sentence.

“Sad isn't it?  I leave to gather my thoughts and people find me, they tell me to forgive her, I do that, but all the memories of her torturing me is still fresh, do you think I did the right thing?”  After the last words escaped her mouth, she put her face into her hands.

“To be honest, I did that before and I apologized and even though we still became friends, I wanted to be with her and I knew that I couldn't and lost at the end.”  Aika consoled the younger girl in her arms.

“Was it the right thing?”  Aika paused as she tried to think of the pain and it was an answer that made it hard for her to explain.

“For me.... I did it because I knew I was wrong, Miya knew she was wrong and you are the only person who can make it right for her, be her friend at least, then you can decide how far you want to take it.”  Aika patted Rii on the shoulder as they went back into the store.

As they entered they found a bag in front of Momo and Yurina, it had a note inside about scheme that Aika's father ran from and she closed the bag to find a car in front of them stopped and took them in.

[oddball]

Poor Rii, is is properly torn up about Miya at the moment, I wonder if her mind is truly on her work?

[kuro808]

Chapter 33

“Hey Mitsui-san.”  The guy said in a low voice.

“Hey Hiramoto-sama.”  Aika replied and the other girls look at each other.

Risako and Momo looked at each other as Yurina greeted the man and sat down in the backseat cramped.  Aika seemed to keep quiet as he started to speak about not being in school and was taking her back to the school grounds as they called them.

They were driving to the school and saw Jun standing outside the grounds and she was on the phone as Risako distracted her by trying to hand over a soda as they took the turn inside.  The car stopped and the four got out and Risako looked over to the location and saw no one there and breathed a sigh of relief.

“I swear I just saw Julie standing over there.”  Aika looked at the same place.

“Well no one is there now, so let's get to the office.”  Risako said as she led the way to the office.

Momo and Yurina luckily ran off the campus before the security caught them and the guard took them in and the woman across of them was with Eri and Reina as they discussed the situation.

“Mitsui and Sugaya, I understand what the situation might be, so I let you off as a warning, next time you will get detention you hear?”  The principal gave the stern warning and let them go off with Eri and Reina.

“Rii, that was close, I heard about the explosion and Jun called it in, when she was there to find you guys, she didn't see you guys, and I had a feeling you guys went into the city and called into the office.”  Reina said under her breath.

“Riichan, sorry about today, I won't get you into trouble again.”  Aika bowed and walked off to her class.

Eri and Reina walked Risako to the car and drove off to the main office as they saw Sayu behind the desk admiring herself in the mirror.

“Sayu~ kawaii da yo~”  She said to herself.

“Sayu, stop looking at yourself and tell her your good news.”  Reina mocked the bunny as Sayu picked up a paper.

“Okay, we got in contact with your whole crew and they are going to be our backup to the mission, however, three of them are coming in tonight, and they seem to be very anxious.”  Sayu announced as Saki woke up from her nap.

“Everybody is coming to Hawaii?  Yay!”  Saki cheered as she hugged Risako.

“Yay~”  Risako cheered in low spirits and walked over to her room.

Risako sat down at her desk as she took out the letter and her indecision was causing her more pain.  Saki walked in with a can of soda.  She sat next to her as she tried to make her smile but it was no use as Risako was in a bad mood.

“Rii~ gotta talk, let someone know how you feel.”  Saki said as she left the can on the desk.

“It is not that, I still feel uncomfortable that the three are coming down together.”  Risako popped the cap open and took the first sip of the carbonated drink.

Saki sat back down and scooted herself next to the younger girl and let her head on top of Saki's shoulder.  Risako tried to fight back the tears but it was a losing battle and let it run down her face as she wanted to strike something.  She put her head up and Saki looked over to the younger girl.

“Miya said to me before I left that, she hoped that you could still be her friend, that is all, she knows that she screwed up...” Risako interrupted her.

“Saki, Miya is a good person, I see her with Chinami, and I wanted to resist to take any action against Chinami.  I am stubborn and I won't forgive her no matter what but I...”  Saki grabbed her.

“Say it, Rii.”  Saki encouraged her.

“I....love....”  Risako held back and Saki grabbed her shirt.

“You love Miya right?  Say it!”  Saki let go and Risako yelled.  “I LOVE MIYA!”

Saki hugged her as Rii fell into her arms and embraced her as Risako cried everything out of her system.  She fell asleep as they got dinner for the office and Saki labeled a plate for her as they waited for the trio to come.

Three hours later, Risako woke up and saw a person in front of her.

“Hello Riichan~”  The girl in a bandana greeted and Risako felt her heart skip a beat.
