[tru_harmony]

thanks!

waiting for next chapter...

[strawb3rrykream]

Aw, poor Sayu. She'd so gun-shy after having her heart broken. Hope she can trust "blue".
More!!

[cool_kickin_dude]

i had part of the chapter written until I accidentally cut it off..stupid parents threw me out..I really need to leave them permanently after screwing me over this weekend. anyhoo, apologies in advance if this part doesn't work. However, I promise to get the next one right.

* * * * * * * * *

After we left the theater, we started to make our way home. We talked and laughed during the whole trip. For some reason, I had the courage to swing our hands around for a few minutes. It was those moments that make me wish I was with you all the time.

"So, did you like the movie?" you asked me.

"Yeah!" I answered.

"What was your favorite part?"

"Actually, I like the ending. I liked how the guy got the girl."

"What? Are you sure about that?"

"I'm sorry...I meant that.."

"Oh Sayu," you cooed.

You wrapped your arms around me again as I felt that I was in heaven. Even when I was in love with someone else, this was almsot nothing compared to how I felt right now. I can't remember if you were saying things to me or whispering them to my ear. You've always been so good to me.

Damn you, why did you leave me?

Why couldn't you stay?

Wait..it was all Tsunku's fault.

You always was my biggest supporter.

At one point, I was the cutest member of the group, but that all changed thanks to Koharu. Now I'm supposed to be in charge of the sexiness of Morning Musume. I don't know if I can do that for you, even though you told me not to give up.

"Sayu?" you asked. "Are you all right?"

"Huh?" I was so out of it that I didn't you were talking to me. Thank your beauty and your heartfelt kindness for doing that to me."What did you say?" I asked you.

"I was saying that we have to get you home," you replied.

"Oh, sorry." I made the one mistake of letting go of your sweet embrace. Why couldn't I just kiss you right then and there?

Because I would probably get hurt again.

But you make it so hard for me.

We walked toward my house as you squeezed my hand. Why do you have to leave me right now?

I wanted to scream to you, "Don't go!"

But I know you have to work tomorrow..but will I see you again?

Will I see you like this..the only person who can make me feel better?

"I'm glad you went with me tonight," you said. "I like to do this again sometime."

I don't know what came over me, but I knew that it might be the last time we might do something like this again. I just hugged you tightly and started crying. "Don't leave me," I said. "I don't want to lose you."

"Sayu?" you asked. "I'm not going to leave. I just have to work tomorrow. You can call me tomorrow."

That won't work. I need to see you again.

No..I need you to stay.

Before you broke off the embrace, I kiss your cheek. I can't remember if you smiled for it or not.

As you leave, I started to cry..I wonder..

No, I love..

No..I don't know..

But..Do you love me?

[tru_harmony]

omg... is blue who i think she is? ... omg...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

please, blue, say no when she asks you that "do you love me?" question thing...  GGAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

thanks for that chap... looking forward to the next...

[takagakifan]

I think i know who blue  is but i think I'm wrong I'll wait and see before guessing again

[strawb3rrykream]

Wait, so blue and the one who broke Sayu's heart are different ppl, right?
Hmmmm, I need to think about this....

[cool_kickin_dude]

No, don't leave me..

Please..

I need you..make me feel better like you did last night..

"No!"

I woke up, heart pacing and in a sweat. I looked at the alarm clock, glad to have a couple of more hours before I have to go to rehearsals. I wanted to rest for a few minutes, hoping I would see your face again. Unfortunately, I can't do it. I wanted to cry, but I knew that you would not let me do it. I still remember the words you said to me before you left.

"Don't cry," you said. "I'll always be there for you."

Funny that someone said those words to me long ago.

I hop out of my bed, take a shower and get dressed. I started to hum a tune that we sung a long time ago. It was one of my favorite songs. As soon as I got dressed, I heard a knock on my bedroom door. "Who is it?" I said in a cute voice, hoping it would be you.

"Someone wants to see you," my sister answered.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Only your best friend."

Oh no, not her..what do I do now?

* * * * * * * *

You've always been a friend..but just a friend.

However, we've always been close..

I don't usually make mistakes, but I believe I made one with you.

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry we never got to know each other personally.

I want to try that with you, if that's okay

What am I saying?

Wait..I know exactly what I am saying. I found someone right under my nose and I almost missed it.

I hope you can forgive me.

"Hi Sayu!" she smiled. "Ready to go?"

"I guess," I said glumly.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

She kept asking me that when we left my house. That was when I finally lost it, even though we never really argued when we were friends. "What is it?" I screamed.

"Calm down Sayu," she said. "I just asked what is wrong."

"You know what it is."

"No, tell me what it is."

"YOU'RE DATING GAKI-SAN, THAT'S WHY!"

I left her standing as I ran away, toward rehearsals. I hated to scream out the truth to her, but I had to. The truth was told, but unfortunately, there were only four people who knew that secret. I loved her, or at least, that's what I thought.

Do I hate Gaki-san? I don't really hate her.

But, she's my friend too..or was my friend.

I don't want to hold a grudge against either of the two, but I don't know what to do. Besides, Ai-chan wouldn't listen to me anyway.

Where are you when I need you?

I really need to call you.

[tru_harmony]

HUWAT?!?!?!

i'm frimmin' lost now...

thanks for that anyway...

[strawb3rrykream]

So the plot thickens...
Intrigued!

[takagakifan]

  aww man dude I thought... hoped I was right *sighs* maybe I am??  who knows anymore

[cool_kickin_dude]

"NO! Do it again!" Ai-chan screamed at everyone.

Ai-chan's great as a leader, but she knows out to let her fangs and claws out when nothing seems to go right. We have been working this new dance routine for the video for what seems to be weeks now. Of course, it has only been a few days since we started. Good thing for me is that she hasn't screamed at me all day. Mostly she's been yelling at..

"Sayu?" Gaki-san asked. "Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Well, I'm kinda busy," I tell her.

She can tell I'm avoiding her.

"Please? It's real important."

Before I could say anything else, she grabs my hand and leads me out of the room. I turned to look to see if Ai-chan could be staring at me. However, her eyes were fixed onto one person.

The one person who...

"Sayu, I like to know what's going on," Gaki-san replied. She had her hands on her hips and had a vague expression on her face. "Would you like to tell me what happened this morning?"

"I can explain," I tried to say.

"Actually, I should.."

"Huh?"

"I didn't know that this was going to hurt you."

"Of course this hurt me! You never told me that she loved you. Why couldn't you tell me first before you hurt me just as bad? Do you have any idea what you have done?"

"Sayu, calm down..I didn't know that I would fall in love with her. It just happened."

"Wrong! It didn't just happened."

"You have to believe me. I was in the same position too."

"Prove it."

"All right you two," Ai-chan peered from the door. "Break's over."

"Could have swore I closed that door," Gaki-san muttered. "Look, I swear that I will tell you how it happened, okay?"

"Promise?" I asked, demanding an answer.

"I promise," Gaki-san replied.

I watched her leave before I start to make my way back toward the dance room. Would she really tell me how those two got together? I wonder if Ai-chan knows about this? Is she really mad at Gaki-san?

All those questions seem to float into my mind as I went back into the dance room to start dancing again. Luckily, Ai-chan wasn't barking orders as much now. The day seem to go by pretty smoothly as we wrapped up our rehearsals for the day. I try to find Gaki-san to see if I can talk to her some more, but to no avail.

I did see Ai-chan stomp away before I left..I wonder what that was all about?

Maybe I should talk to her..

No, she'll probably yell at me like yesterday.

I go back to my dressing room to get my things together to leave. I got out my phone and saw I had one message.

The one message I was waiting for all day.

I called the number back and sure enough, it was you on the other line.

"Feeling better today?" you asked.

"A little better," I replied. "Are you doing anything right now?"

"Not today. Besides, I'll be busy all day."

"Can we do something again today?"

"Sure. Just meet me outside."

Just like a rabbit(which I am known to be, even though I can't run that fast), I run toward the outside world.

Toward you.

Toward...us?

I really hope so.

If you let me.

[x_sleepyhead]

just started reading ...
what can i say, its really good (:
i'm in love with your story xD

its intense xD
i hope you tell us who the blue is~

[strawb3rrykream]

Ai-chan=
Sayu=
Gaki=
Blue=
Hmmm... Who is blue?!

[mads]

I'm so confused who blue is? So confused that I was going to suggest that "blue" was the "pill bug" that she used to play with when she was young (random I know but when I thought of this I was watching the Music Fighter episode.)

Rika seems to be a very reasonable candidate, but still not convinced its her. *wait's patiently for next chapter*

[KonaKaga]

Orange is Eri...maybe
If so, then she and Risa are going out! Kyaa~

[takagakifan]

Pink= Sayu
Purple= Ai
Green= Gaki
Orange= Eri?
Blue=  Reina???

[heyyouhiya]

I have no idea why but I think the blue is Maki
You did say it was a really weird pairing...

...that would be so crazy if it WAS Maki, I'm prolly wrong though...

Well thats my guess on the subject of who this blue person is =D
 and now *waits*

[x_sleepyhead]

Pink= Sayu
Purple= Ai
Green= Gaki
Orange= Eri?
Blue=  Reina???

probably the one i most agree with
i re-read everything today xD
and yeshhh, i agree =D

[lollipopgirl]

Blue does sound like Maki (character wise), but it doesn't really fit... Sayu and Maki were never in a group together were they? But I guess that doesn't matter... To be safe, I'ma say Rika coz it sounds as though blue isn't in MM with Sayu during the fic, therefore, that kinda rules out Reina, I guess... Gosh when will we know?

[takagakifan]

^ I kinda feel like its Rika as well but i just can't picture it so my mind rejects the idea everytime  thus the alternative being Reina she wears the blue shirts, hasn't been mentioned yet, and thoough personally i don't find it to be an odd pairing  i don't think anyone's written about them yet
