Hey, there guys! I'm back with an update~ I'm sorry for the very long wait OTL Well, I'm guessing no one wants to hear my reason, anyway lol. This is the end to The Idol of An Idol, guys ; - ; I hope we meet again, soon! Do keep on supporting me even though I tend to abandon my fics. I'm such an emotional person that whenever I get hurt, it also affects my writing. But I'm kind of in a 'Keep Cool' mood, so everything will turn out well.
Chapter 10: Something Happened To My HeartRena's POV:The weirdest thing just happened to me. It felt like a dream. It felt like a fairy tale... A fairy tale that I just can't understand. Aren't fairy tales supposed to be simple and easy to ponder about? They are, right? But... why is it that this one is as complicated that my mind can't calculate all the possible answers? How can I understand that she's back and grown up? How can I understand that she comprehends the meaning 'Love' much more now? I don't see her as a kid anymore... These thoughts are bothering me. What should I do? I don't know what I'd do to her. She's grown up and I don't think she's still the person she was. Who knows... she might have forgotten my love... our love. END"Neee~"
"Sigh...""Oi!"
"Shut up...""Rena!"
"Why won't you shut just up for a moment?!"
"Woah!" Rena glared at Jurina as she backed away from her. "Lay off the carbs there, Rena. You don't want to get Hyper tension, do you?" She chuckled and patted Rena's head. In fact, she grew taller than Rena for the past few years. She's really growing up.
"Don't touch me, you.. you.."
"Me what?" She stroked Rena's hair towards the bottom with a puppy like expression plastered on her flawless face
"Urrgh!" She laughed when Rena shook her hand away from my hair "Go away! Stop following me!"
"Come on, Rena--"
"Who said you could call me Rena?" Rena turned her attention to Jurina as she frowned and as if her imaginary tail had stopped wagging.
"Do you suggest I call you Hime? Ah, or maybe you'd like Kido-chan~" Jurina clapped her hands and jumped up and down
"If you want to call me 'Kido' then, go to Rina!!" Rena suddenly ran away from Jurina. As Jurina was startled, she scratched her scalp and pouted
"Mou, Rena is so hard to get." She paused and thought for a while but then, she sprinted to Rena's direction and found her on her knees, panting. "Rena!" Jurina quickly knelt down the sand to Rena's height. "Rena, are you okay? Did you trip?" Rena saw Jurina's anxious expression and felt guilty.
"I... I'm fine." Rena stood up, leaving a relieved yet disappointed Jurina... Disappointed for not even noticing her existence.
Jurina stood up and sighed "Rena, what's wrong with you? It's like you only met me just now."
"I only did meet you hours ago." Jurina's eyebrows furrowed causing wrinkles to form on her forehead.
"She has to stop frowning for a while." Rena giggled mentally
"For the first time?" Jurina took a step closer to Rena but she also took a step backwards, away from Jurina. Rena nodded causing Jurina to take off her sun glasses. "Rena, what do you think had changed while I'm gone, huh?" Jurina threw her sun glasses onto the sand and pinned Rena against a rock causing Rena to blush so hard
"W-well, you.. you have bangs now." Jurina didn't looked satisfied at all. I mean, it's just physical appearance. "You grew taller." Jurina smirked
"That means you can't escape my kisses, anymore." If it were possible, Rena would've been a tomato by now.
"... You know what else changed..?" Jurina shook her head and sensually moved closer.
"What changed...?"
Rena took a deep breath and looked firmly and deeply into Jurina's soul catching eyes. "I don't think that... we're in for the same reason now."
Jurina tilted her head "What do you mean?"
"I don't believe that... you're going to pick up things where we left them at all." Jurina's eyes widened in disbelief. As she was about to say something, Rena abruptly interrupted her "You don't need to say anything. Whether you're still in for it, I think I don't have much more strength to believe that your heart could love me again."
Suddenly, Jurina threw a punch onto the rock. The terrified Rena was all wide eyed. She looked at Jurina's fist and it was all bloody and bruised up. When she turned her sympathetic look to Jurina, she saw tears dropping down to the sand, drowning despite being water. "You don't know how much I've worked hard to come back for you. I love you, Rena. There was never the word 'Again' to begin with. I've never stopped loving you since the day we've separated. I know that you still have it in you," Jurina slowly rested her hand on Rena's chest. "I know that my love is still alive… buried within your pain." She smiled and wiped Rena's tears with her bloody hand "I will make you believe that I love you." Rena's tears had been flowing and unconsciously from the start, and then Jurina wrapped her arms around her.
"I'm sorry, Jurina... It's just that... I don't know what had gone to my mind. Something happened to my heart but I swear to you it will never repeat again." Rena cried on Jurina's chest as Jurina comforted her by stroking her back.
"Shh... Don't cry, Rena. We will bring this back together." Jurina flashed her trademark smile
---------- oTL -----------
From afar, three suspicious looking people had been spying on Jurina and Rena from the past few hours.
"Ne, shouldn't we tell the manager about this?" The person with blue striped hair spoke up and took off his sun glasses
"Perhaps we should. I mean, is Denki even allowed to have any relationships?" The person with blonde hair replied
"I don't think we should tell Manager-san. I don't want little Denki to suffer the same punishments as us." The person with brunette hair sat down and looked at his watch
"But Riku, think about what that evil Manager can do to us! I just got my butt permed!"
"What're you saying, Kai?! Is a butt perm even possible?!"
"Oi, you two! Keep it down. Don't forget that we're undercover." Riku pinched Kai and Kuu's ears
"Ahhh! Ittai, ittai! Stoppuu! We got it, we got iiitt!" The two young men said in unison as Riku let them go.
"Now, keep quiet before Denki spots us here. Before we report anything to Manager-san, let's do further research."
"Riku, are you sure you know what you're doing here?" Kai rested his hand on Riku's shoulder as the three of them watch Jurina with worried expressions
"What if the paparazzi catches her out with that woman? We're doing this for her good, Riku." Kuu looked at Riku curiously yet worriedly
"I'm not sure where this would lead to but come on, you guys. Denki is young and she needs to experience young, youthful love." Riku's two other companions nodded in unison
"Yeah, you got a point there, Riku." Kuu agreed
"But what about the risks of being caught?! And this is "L" were talking about here!" Kai seemed like he was about to lose his mind
"Oh, shut up, Kai. You're one to talk!" Kuu pouted and Kai smiled sheepishly
"Let's just look out for our Kouhai for now, you guys. Whatever harm comes on Denki's way, let's try to be senpais and save her." Riku pumped up his fist unto the air
"Osu!" The other two imitated Riku's actions
---------- oTL -----------
A few hours later...As the cold breeze swept across the lovers under the starry sky, the mighty waves came crashing down in melodious harmony. Walking silently, hands intertwined, they weren't talking at all. They were just enjoying each other's company. For Jurina, this was a very important moment for she's finally reunited with her love after years. But for Rena, this was totally awkward. She feels like Jurina isn't the same anymore despite the time they spent together earlier and the way Jurina treated her.
"Hey, Rena...?" Jurina suddenly called out
"Eh?" Rena shifted her gaze unto Jurina. But Jurina was being aloof and looking at the sky
"Sometimes, I wonder why stars shine so bright." Jurina suddenly made a statement out of the blue which made Rena chuckle
"Silly, Jurina. Stars are made up of hot balls of glowing plasma that if you look at it in the distance, it shines. So, it's just like those city lights over there," Rena pointed at colorful lights of different forms beyond the sea "They shine just so... bright." At the last word she said, Jurina tilted her head and pouted
"Rena, why do you sound so lonely..?" Rena only smiled bitterly to Jurina's question for she doesn't know the answer to that.
"Why do you keep on asking me questions?"
"It's only the first one, though." Rena giggled as a wide smile grew upon Jurina's blemish free face. As a gust of wind flew by, Jurina encircled her arm around Rena's waist "It's warm like this." Rena blushed as Jurina snuggled up to her. "Rena, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Rena glanced at Jurina and she again was looking up at the starry sky. But this time, she had a face of a person in love.
"I'm in love with the stars." Rena's eyebrows furrowed to what Jurina said. She thought that how can Jurina still be this cute puppy who talks nonsense
"Err.. Is that essential?" Jurina chuckled and looked at Rena with those loving eyes
"Of course, it is. The stars... are just like Rena."
"Eh?"
"Yup. They are like you. They shine so bright that whenever I look at it, as if I can't pay attention to other people, anymore. Right now, I'm pretty much confused on who to look at." Rena giggled to the amusing statement and Jurina just smiled at her again.
"When you weren't physically by my side, I felt like an insane person who kept on talking to the stars. But in the end, I was made sane again. I fell in love in the process too... but of course, I still love Rena more than anything in this world. Because she's my dream and I would never give up my dream, I would never give up Rena, got it?" Rena blushed and looked away
"You're so sweet and determined. I like that about you." Jurina suddenly stopped in her tracks "What's wrong?"
Jurina faced Rena and cupped her cheek. "Please say that you won't ever try to do what's best for me because I can take care of myself." Rena frowned
"Jurina, how am I supposed to say that when I don't want you to get hurt?"
"I won't get hurt as long as you tell me to. I will be careful for you. I've become strong so you could stop worrying about me. Yes, you were right. I'm not the Jurina you used to know. I'm not the Jurina who was so childish of her antics and who was careless. I changed... because I'm afraid that you'd stop loving me." Rena smiled in relief
"Jurina, I'm sorry but I don't want to say it. No matter what happens, if you feel hurt, I don't want you to feel it alone. I think that my love will never disappear. Compare to you, I can't say anything. What I'm feeling right now... more than words can only express. I appreciate how you tried so hard to change for me, Jurina. But no matter how other people see how mature and concise you are, to me, you will always be the same puppy who made me fall deeply in love." Jurina smirked and moved closer
"So, does that mean Yes?" Rena tilted her head
"Yes what?"
"Okay. I'll stop playing games. We're not kids who raced to win each other's love anymore. I'm trying so hard to be serious despite being so nervous. Rena, will you.. er... be.. umm... m-my... Kami-sama, help me... g-g-"
"Girlfriend?" Rena smirked
"Uhh, yes! Yes! Yes, that's what I wanted to say." Jurina smiled sheepishly
"So, if this is what you mean with 'Yes' then, YES." Jurina took the initiative and slowly leaned in to capture Rena's lips. It was only a chaste kiss but all the feelings were poured out upon it. And that kiss will remain forever in their hearts
"So, will you say you love me?"
"I love you.. always have."
"I knew it!" Jurina leaned in to take another kiss but this time, it was more deeper and .. mature. I'll let your imagination go wild for now.
"I love you too." Jurina mumbled in their kiss
MEANWHILE...
"Hey! Riku, do it now!" Kai forcefully handed a fire cracker to Riku's grasp
"What?! No way!!" Riku threw the fire cracker back to Kai
"Argh! Hey, Kuu! You do it!" Kuu took the fire cracker and stuck a tongue out
"Geez, you bunch of cowards." Kuu set the fire cracker onto the sand just like the others and lighted them all. In a matter of 5 seconds, they all flew high up the sky and it seemed like it was pouring rainbows "Ahh~ The feelings of love~"
"We better prepare our butts for punishments. Their relationship might spread out." Kai rubbed his butt
"Meh." Riku and Kuu shrugged
