[JFC]

Awwwwwww...they made up.

"Yep, we made up a lot," Yossie told Konno.

I'm not going to talk about how that sounds pervvy (even though it's true ).

[zay05ohayou]

Rika hung up the phone as she began to rehearse her lyrics for the new song--Roman~My Dear Boy~

To Rika, Yossie was her dear boy..

woooot~ 

wait a minute... she needs to tell Yossie something?? this isn't bad is it?? 

[sweeety]

I never thought of that possibility. I always thought she would say she luves her and be done with it! I thought they would get together or at least she would explain the whole running away thing!

Chapter 13: Mr.Moonlight to Roman~My Dear Boy~

After shooting the new video, Yossie began to look for Rika. She still had on her leather jacket as she finally found Rika talking to Ogawa. She knew that she had some feelings for Ogawa, but it was just a friendly crush. Ogawa had dyed her hair orange for the video, even though she loved her hair blonde.

"Hey guys," Yossie waved. "What are you two doing?"

"Just talking," Ogawa replied.

"Mind if I borrow Rika for a minute?"

"Sure, if you like."

Yossie took Rika's hand and led her upstairs to the elevator at the top. Yossie turned Rika around to face her, who still ahd her buttoned up white shirt on. The one thing that Yossie wished was that Rika would still have her hair dyed brown instead of black, but it turned her on even more.

"What did you want to talk about?" Yossie asked.

"Well, I just been asked to train some girls," Rika explained. "I think they want me to be leader."

"Really?" Yossie replied. "That's great!"

"I'm kinda nervous.."

"Don't worry. You'll be a great leader."

"I don't know..."

"Remember what I told you earlier?"

"You mean from the last video?"

* * * * * * * *

on the set of Mr. Moonlight video shoot...

"Yossie?" Rika asked.

"What is it, Rika?" Yossie asked. She still had on her yellow jacket for the video and was about to take it off. She saw that Rika still had on her leopard-skin dress on as well.

"Did you mean what you said?"

"What do you mean?"

"That day at the subway station."

"Of course I did. Why do you say that?"

"It's just that...over the padt few weeks have been horrible."

"I know they have, for both of us."

"That's why I wasn't mad at you for being with Ogawa-san for the shoot. I know you two get along great together."

"I have a feeling we'll be alone for a while now."

"What do you mean?"

"Miki's talking to Aya a lot more recently."

"Does that mean..?"

* * * * * * * *

"Miki's hanging out with Aya tonight," Yossie replied. "Wanna do something?"

"How about right now?" Rika asked mischievously.

"Whaaat? Rika-chan, what are you saying?"

"Oh, sorry. Got carried away there. Do you want to meet them tomorrow?"

"Sure..but let's get out of these clothes first."

"Yossie? What are you saying?"

"Never mind Charmy." Yossie kissed Rika lightly on the lips before they made their way downstairs as the rest of the band was about to leave as well. The two spotted Miki as she began to walk away(also seeing that she had a phone, assumingly about to call Aya).

Of course, things were about to become hectic in a hurry.

[sweeety]

omg! AWESOME CHAPTER! btw who has feelings for Makoto? is it Rika? Cause you said she saw her wiht ogawa, she knew she had some feelings for ogawa but it was just a crush.
 And then they kiss at the end..... So is this after the first chapter where they get together? Is it before it? Maybe in the start they get together after being split up or something..... Anyway, GJ and TY! mwah

[zay05ohayou]

oohh Yossie has a crush on Ogawa?? Is that really?? or is it Rika?? Hmm.. Who wouldnt get a crush on Mako anyway? 

Of course, things were about to become hectic in a hurry.

How hectic?? 

[cool_kickin_dude]

Chapter 14: Meeting Viyuden

The past several weeks were so busy for the two girls that it almost seemed like they would never get five minutes alone with each other. It started with Rika's new group called Viyuden, getting promoted for their first single. Luckily, Yossie got the chance to meet them before they got started.

"Yossie," Rika replied, "this is Erika and Yui. These are my new bandmates."

"Nice to meet you," Erika replied.

"Is that your girlfriend?" Yui asked.

"Of course not!" Rika exclaimed. "Why?"

"Because you two have been holding hands ever since we saw you," Erika explained.

"Huh?" Yossie looked over at her hand, which was being grasped by Rika's. Rika was about to grasp her hand away, but Yossie grabbed it back. "Actually, she was going to buy me dinner," Yossie replied.

"I was?" Rika asked.

"Of course," Yossie flirted.

"Told you Rika has a girlfriend," Yui said.

"Hope she doesn't get in trouble," Erika replied.

"I'll take good care of her," Yossie said. "She'll make a good leader."

"That's what I've been telling her."

Rika didn't say anything else. She knew that Yossie was right and she believed in her, being a leader or as a soloist. The two talked with the two new girls for a while before they left. Both of them continued to hold hands until they left for outside.

"So, was you really going to buy me dinner?" Rika asked.

"Of course," Yossie smiled. "Did you think I was lying to them?"

Rika smiled, knowing that she would have Yossie to herself soon. However, it would be the last day they would have to themselves for quite a while.

* * * * * * * *

"We are going to be doing the promos for the new group tomorrow," Tsunku replied to the three girls. "I have a good feeling that this will be big."

"We will not let you down," Yui promised.

"I won't let you down," Rika said. Even though she didn't mean to say it, but she knew she had to make sure that she didn't let Yossie down as well.

As the three girls left, Erika could see that something was bothering Rika. "Is everything OK?" she asked.

"I hope so," Rika said.

"Don't worry," Yui smiled. "I have a feeling you'll see her soon."

Rika would see Yossie more later than sooner...but it would be for a much bigger reason.

Not even Yossie would have a clue to the final events which would lead the two girls in unison for each other.

[zay05ohayou]

Update!!! Yay Viyuden comes in the picture now~

"Is that your girlfriend?" Yui asked.

"Of course not!" Rika exclaimed. "Why?"

"Because you two have been holding hands ever since we saw you," Erika explained.

"Huh?" Yossie looked over at her hand, which was being grasped by Rika's. Rika was about to grasp her hand away, but Yossie grabbed it back. "Actually, she was going to buy me dinner," Yossie replied.

Lol, it must've looked pretty obvious. They're so sweet together i swear   

Rika smiled, knowing that she would have Yossie to herself soon. However, it would be the last day they would have to themselves for quite a while.

Gaah.. do this is what u meant when u said hectic eh? 

As the three girls left, Erika could see that something was bothering Rika. "Is everything OK?" she asked.

"I hope so," Rika said.

"Don't worry," Yui smiled. "I have a feeling you'll see her soon."

Erika and Yui are so nice to Rika. They worry about her. 

Rika would see Yossie more later than sooner...but it would be for a much bigger reason.

Must be a very long time then.. 

Not even Yossie would have a clue to the final events which would lead the two girls in unison for each other.

Eehh.. Does that mean this fic is going to end soon??? 

Nice and short! = Cool 

edit: is it because she's graduating??

[sweeety]

The last line confused me a lot..... What does it mean? And I wonder why the two girls wont see each other for long? I'm guessing it has to do with Miki. And you never told us who it was that had a crush on Makoto. Anyway, I hope you update soon.

[cool_kickin_dude]

sorry for the confusion..being tired and posting at 6AM on Saturday when you don't work and want to have fun does that to you. Again, this story has a long ways to go to the end..I'm almost finished with the first act anyway..that being said, onto the next chapter!

Chapter 15: Calm before the storm(part 1)

As Rika continued promoting her new group Viyuden, Yossie was inside Tsunku's office being lectured for the upcoming events for Morning Musume. "As you know, Kaori will be graduating soon," he said to Yossie.

"What does that have to do with me?" Yossie asked.

"It has been announced that Mari will be the new leader after her graduation. I have decided that you will be the new subleader."

"Really? Are you serious?"

"I should be the first to congratulate you on the promotion."

"I'm surprised that Mari or Kaori never told me about it."

"I told the two of them this morning. We will have a graduation special for Kaori next month on H!M, days before her last concert for Morning Musume."

"I don't know what to say..." The sudden announcement nearly made Yossie faint(mainly from the last practice she had with Gatas for the day).

"I'm sure you'll make a fine subleader," Tsunku smiled. "That will be all for today."

Yossie bowed to the producer as she left the office. She got out her phone and began to send a text message to someone she knew would understand this. Please call me! Yossie

* * * * * * * *

"I got your message," Rika answered from her phone, hours later.

"I need your help," Yossie explained.

"What's wrong?"

"Tsunku just made me subleader of Morning Musume."

"That's great news!"

"That's the problem..."

"Why? What's wrong?"

"I don't know if I can do that."

"Sure you can. If I can be leader of Viyuden, then you can sub-lead Momusu. Maybe if you get to be leader, I can be your subleader."

"Then, what would they say?"

"About what?"

"About...never mind. Tsunku says we have a grad special for Kaori on H!M next month."

"You look tired Yossie, why don't you rest?"

"Best idea anybody's had all day. I believe I'll do that."

"Goodnight Yocchan."

"Goodnight Charmy." Yossie hung up her phone and began to sleep. She dreamed that everything was back to its original place, when everything was simple. She also dreamed that her and Rika were singing to each other in concert. That was the only good thing to happen to her all day.

The only good thing to happen to her for the next month, since the hectic schedule of Gatas and Momusu were almost becoming too much for her. However, she couldn't give up now.

Not for Rika, since she saved her once. With things at that pace, Rika may have to save Yossie from the insanity.

[sweeety]

awwww poor Yoshiiiii She is so overworked! hmm, was someone inspired by that article about her being overworked? anyway, gj,keep it up! Hope to see a new one soon! mwah!

[JFC]

Aaaaaaaaaaaah. At this point Kaori's graduation had been announced, but they hadn't yet decided to graduate Rika so that she could lead Viyuden full-time.

THAT is going to be interesting to see.

[zay05ohayou]

Kaorin's graduation!! Aww.. Yossie has no idea that it will soon be Rika's turn.. 

[sweeety]

Upside, Miki's hookin' up with Aya (or so it seems) so you'd think there'd be less trouble from her (and more action in the perv fic corum ) and it would be easier for them two. But I think you are cooking something up with her..... I'm not quite sure yet, but I think I know where this is going, and lemme just say, she is treading on thin ice!

[cool_kickin_dude]

Chapter 16: Kaori's graduation

Thousands of wotas headed to the last venue of the concert stage for Kaori's graduation. As the group of Morning Musume did their warm-ups with their leader for the last time, there was not a dry eye in the house. Especially for Rika, who couldn't control her emotions for Kaori, since she broke down on H!M days before.

"You OK, Rika?" Kaori asked Rika.

"No..." Rika cried.

"You're gonna make me break down," Kaori laughed as she embraced her friend. Meanwhile, Mari looked over at the two, almost about to cry as well. She comforted Rika during the show and was there after the taping was over. As the group got together, they knew they had to keep their emotions in check for the concert.

* * * * * * * *

After the concert, Rika was alone in her dressing room crying. She didn't want to be alone, but she knew that she couldn't stay in her romm forever. She began to walk out of her dressing room as someone came to see her. "Rika-chan?" she asked. "Are you OK?"

"I'll be fine Sayu," Rika said. "Don't worry about me."

"We have to prepare for the Ecomoni conference in a couple of weeks."

"I know. I'm sorry Shige-san, I just don't feel like talking right now."

"Why not?" Kaori asked. She had heard the conversation and wanted to talk to Rika.

"We're worried about you," Sayu replied.

"Why don't you go ahead Sayu?" Kaori asked. "I'll talk to Rika."

As Sayu left, Kaori led Rika back to her dressing room as they talked for a while. "Rika? Remember what I said a couple of years ago?" she asked.

"What is it?" Rika aasked.

"Don't tell me you forgot."

"I'm sorry."

"You have to be positive..and be happy. Because, that's you're character."

Rika thought about those words for several seconds before she flkashed her usual Rika smile that she was so famous for. That was when she felt Kaori's arms wrapped around her. Suddenly, she blurted out something she thought she couldn't say. "I'm in love with Yossie," she said.

"You are?" Kaori asked. "Well, that's no surprise."

"No..I mean, I love her.."

"Then, why don't you say it to her?"

"Because I don't know if she loves me. We've been so busy that we never had the chance to talk about this."

"Then, tell her."

It was easier said than done. Rika began to call Yossie on her phone, knowing that she wouldn't be able to find her and get her alone for the precious few minutes she needed. She thanked Kaori before leaving herself to get dressed to go home for the evening. She checked her phone every few minutes to see if Yossie called her, but to no avail. She almost began to cry before she heard someone knock on her door.

"Yossie?" she asked.

"It's Shiba-chan," someone answered.

Rika opened the door, and quickly led Shiba-chan into her room. "She hugged her close friend and kept saying over and over, "I love her. I love Yossie."

"Why are you telling me?" Shiba-chan laughed.

"I wish I knew where she was."

"Why don't you call her?"

"She hasn't called back."

"It'll be okay, I promise." Shiba-chan hugged her best friend for several minutes before they left the dressing room together.

The biggest storm for both of them would be coming in the next few days...

[JFC]

Step 1 is coming to the realization yourself. Now that Rika's done that, time for Step 2 (i.e. telling Yossi ).

[zay05ohayou]

Rika thought about those words for several seconds before she flkashed her usual Rika smile that she was so famous for. That was when she felt Kaori's arms wrapped around her. Suddenly, she blurted out something she thought she couldn't say. "I'm in love with Yossie," she said.

"Then, why don't you say it to her?"

"Because I don't know if she loves me. We've been so busy that we never had the chance to talk about this."

Awww 
Where's Yossie of all places?? Just when Rika is about to tell her..

[sweeety]

OH NO! BIGGEST STORM! *crawls into fetal position*. And poor Rika! But how come she couldn't reach Yoshi? Wasn't she at the grad too? She is in morning musume so technically she shouldn't be that hard to reach should she? I mean, not even a few minutes? Aww, poor Rika! I'd cry too! Oh well, gj, hope you keep it up.

[cool_kickin_dude]

Chapter 17: Calm before the storm, take 2

Why me?

Why now?

Rika sat in her room crying. She had just been in Tsunku's office hours earlier with an importnat annoucement given to her, actually two announcements. One was the addition of a new member of Morning Musume. The second one was the most difficult to bear.

From what one would be added, another would be leaving.

"Rika?" her mother asked. "Someone's here to see you."

"Tell them I don't feel well."

"It's someone that needs to talk to you."

"I don't feel like company right now."

"Is that so?" another voice asked.

No..Rika thought. Not right now..not when she sees me crying.

Rika heard the door open slightly before she wanted to shut it, but she knew she couldn't shut her other half out. The one that wanted her to be whole. "Please..." she whispered, "just let me be alone."

"You know I can't let you," the person whispered. Her breath was nearing Rika's face. "I won't let you leave me."

"What?"

The door opened fully as Yossie forced herself inside and shut the door. "Rika?" she asked. "What's wrong?"

"I can't tell you.." Rika cried.

"Yes you can and you will. You haven't answered my phone calls, you haven't seen your friends and everyone's worried about you." Yossie took a deep breat as she held her friend's head and both hands. "More importantly, I'm worried about you."

"Yossie.." Rika stopped crying and look at the one person who had been there ever since she met her. Even though they had obstacles blocking their way, nothing was going to stop this moment with the only two people alone in the room. "They want me to leave.." she finally said.

"You mean graduate?" Yossie asked.

"I mean that."

"When?"

"In May..that's when we introduce Koharu to Morning Musume."

"Okay." Yossie kissed Rika's forhead as she wiped the tears away. "You leave everything to me. I'll take care of everything."

"What do you mean?"

"I said, leave everything to me."

"But.."

"No buts. I'm sub-leader of Morning Musume and you're leader of Viyuden. Remember how you told me how I would make a great sub-leader? I know that you'll make a great leader to Viyuden."

"You're right.." Rika stopped crying as she stopped crying.

"Besides," Yossie replied. "Positive, V!V!"

"V!V!" Rika smiled.

"That's my Charmy," Yossie smiled. She kissed the top of her friend's forhead before she began to head for the door.

"Wait," Rika replied, grabbing Yossie's hand. "Can you stay?"

"Not right now.." Yossie answered. "But we'll be together soon, I promise."

As Rika saw Yossie leave her room, Rika went to her bed and started crying uncontrollably. Why? Why didn't I say it to her? she thought as she cried herself to sleep.

It was early March, the longest two months of her life.
