@lollipopgirl: Ok, fine! I'll keep the dreams and hopes alive! :lol: I think I've written my best yet. Angry Ai-chan is :mon blood: Aya is......well, you'll see. Gaki will always be there for her, no matter what! And Ai-chan is (almost) always nice, she just can't help it. Nice country girl! :mon innocent: There's a lil fluff... :mon cigar:
@Ai.love: Thanks! So I wrote Aya ok? Because I like her but I'm not terribly familiar with her personality. Had to do a lil research. You all and your fluff requests! :mon evillaff: Nope, no sex. As much as I like (WRITING~ :mon impatient:) sex, it just didn't feel right.
@tru_harmony: I hope you don't mind me asking but why were you at the dump? Clearly Aya doesn't know Ai-chan as well as she should.
@peti-chan: Ai-chan kakkoii ne~ :mon mischief: Ai-chan will do anything for Momusu.
@x_sleepyhead: Part 5 has arrived. Depends on what you're thinking... :lol:

I had trouble writing this, really. So many possible ways to go on.
....................................

Better Days: Part 5: ~I Won’t Be Able to Forget~

It all happened so fast.

One week ago

     I was lying on my couch, short hair flat and splayed across the cushion. I could hear Kame-chan singing Ai to Taiyou ni Tsutsumarete in the kitchen. She came over to “keep me company” but the real reason was it was her turn for “Leader Watch”. I was glad that we were still on good terms because I like her. She’s really cute and extremely hilarious. “Konna suki ni naru no hen na kanji…”, she hummed as she brought me a tray of lunch. It was a bento from the convenience store but she made it look all nice and homemade. “Sorry, I can’t cook”, she grinned, looking slightly embarrassed. “Don’t worry about it”, I replied, thinking how damn cute she looked. I sat up, fluffed my hair and began to eat. “Crap, I forgot to buy drinks”, Eri moaned, face palming. She decided to go back out and get some tea. “Don’t do anything bad, ok?”, she warned, pulling her jacket on and shutting the door behind her.
     I took a few bites of rice from the tray. Chewing slowly, I thought about my situation: I was sitting on my couch, alone in my apartment. My heart was shredded and life wasn’t worth living anymore. Before I could stop myself, I had gotten up, made my way to the kitchen and grabbed a shiny knife from the utensil drawer. I looked at the blade, thinking of how sharp it was. How cold the metal would feel in my wrist as I sliced into my flesh. My mind was clouded yet something deep down screamed for me to take notice of the good things in my life. All the reasons not to go through with it. But the hurt overpowered my common sense and reason. Poising the blade over my right wrist, I pressed it down and it formed a large gash. Blood began pouring out but I felt no pain. Doing the same thing to the other wrist, I was growing weak from the loss of the necessary fluid. The knife slipped from my weak fingers and landed on the kitchen tiles with a clang. I heard the front door open but before I could say anything, my body hit the floor.

“Ai-chan!!!!!”, was the last thing I heard before everything went black.

     “Koe wo kikasete hoshii, yakusoku shita kedo…” whispered a familiar voice next to my head. I struggled to open my eyes but my eyelids felt as heavy as boulders. “Kekkyoku watashi ga okirarezu…”, the voice sang to me again. It was so soothing that I nearly drifted back into dreamland. But something about that song, about that voice, willed me to open my tired eyes. I blinked a few times to adjust to the bright fluorescent lights of the hospital room. “Ai-chan!”, Gaki exclaimed, leaping up from her place next to me on the bed. She looked at me with a grin but it soon turned into an agonizing frown. I could see her eyes glazing over with tears as she approached the bed again. “Why the hell did you do that?!”, she chastised, her voice quivering ever so slightly. “Um…uh…”, I stuttered, “I just couldn’t take it anymore.”  “What do you mean?”, Gaki’s voice softened as concern washed over her face. Her question mirrored my own on the day she broke my heart.
     I inwardly laughed at the irony. “I’ve had my heart broken twice in 3 months”, I told her, “That’s why I did this.” She stared at me for a few moments, just looking into my eyes. Before I knew it, she was clinging to me, sobbing loudly. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry”, she mumbled over and over, her fingers tightening their grip on my gown. “I forgive you because you’re too important to me”, I whimpered, kissing her head, “But I still love her…” Even though she caused me so much pain and grief, even though she pushed me into this, I wanted her back. Gaki looked up at me, her eyes red and wide. “How can you still love her after all of this?”, she asked incredulously. “I don’t know”, I answered, looking towards the door, wishing she’d come through it.


     Within a week, my wrists were healed. All that was left were scars, a constant reminder of what I had been through. But my heart was far from mended. Gaki’s damage had been taken care of; those pieces were placed safely back. But Aya’s…..I don’t know if I’ll ever be the same. I traced my scars with my fingernail; the pale pink lines were puckered. My hair was nearly dry from the shower so I stood and headed to my closet. Dropping the towel to the floor, I clothed myself in a bra and panties before looking for something suitable to wear. After minutes of deliberation, I chose a flowy white dress and white sweater. As I dressed, I came to a revelation.

I knew how to begin the road to recovery.

Picking up my cell phone, I dialed a once familiar number.

“Hello, Aya-chan?...Yeah, it’s me…Can we meet somewhere to talk?”

End.
............................
Yup, that's the end!!! You can decide whether they get back together ot just make peace with each other.
Thank you to everyone whose been reading this. I really enjoyed writing this and I'm happy with the response I've gotten. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of many more "longer-ish" stories!
LOVE YOU ALL!!! :gmon heartu: :tama-bigheart:

^oh, i don't mind at all... :lol: ... my university has a compulsary "immersion" program for seniors... my school's a bit on the elitist side of the neighborhood so they thought of this program as a way to bridge the gap among social strata... i was assigned to be immersed at the slum area IN the city dumpsite... insane school, ne~?

anyway... i loved the whole thing... i didn't expect it to end this soon and in this manner... but GJ!!!

time (and :heart:) heals all wounds except if you're diabetic... :lol:

@tru_harmony: Ah, I see. That's interesting... :D I've never heard of anything like that. Yay, I learned something today! XD Glad you liked it! But after reading all of you guys' comments, I'm thinking I might need an epilogue! :lol:
@peti-chan: Oh, you sound disappointed! :mon whimper: Hmmm, I think I may have a plan to change that! :mon evillaff:
@heyyouhiya: Hehehe! Just wait a minute...... :mon santa2:
@x_sleepyhead: I wanted it to have Takagaki! But in the end, I didn't want to break Kame-chan's heart too. Glad you enjoyed it!

OK, OK, I get it!!! :mon lol:
Y'all want a better ending, don't you!? You want some kind of actual closure, huh? :mon determined:
Well, now I'm thinking of making an epilogue. I've sort of wanted to do it from the beginning but now, it seems like I really need it!
So soon, my dear readers, you will find out whether Ai-ya lives!!! :mon chilly:

Thank god there is an epilogue, I was planning on kicking you a lot if that really was the end :P
Aiiiii-chan :cry:
As much as they needed that 'Leader watch', I think Ai-chan also needed to go to that complete low before she can find her way back up again... She was just void and getting nowhere before.
I was all angry at Gaki at the start of Better Days but now, awwwwwwwww, thank god for her and her awesomeness :heart: :wub: I'm glad Ai actually told her what was wrong without biting her tongue and trying to protect Risa, they both needed that... closure?

Please don't let her and Aya get back together, I'll sit in the corner and sulk with my arms crossed and bottom lip sticking out, if you do. :( Aya doesn't deserve her, she was never in love with her, how could she be in love with anyone other than herself :lol: I'm sure she loves/ed Ai as a friend but 'tis all, damn confusion breaking Ai-chan's poor heart again. :cry:
I want Ai to talk to Aya and for them to become friends again with a good chat that will convince Ai that they aren't right together and then I want kinda a family dynamic with GakiKame and Ai-chan, GakiKame taking her completely under their wing and being the best that possibly can be for her, bringing light back into her life... she deserves happiness DAMMIT! :angry:

I <3 you :heart:

@lollipopgirl: Oh, I always enjoy reading your comments!! Yeah, she was just running in circles, not getting any closer to closure. Mmm, Gaki may have not been a great girlfriend to Ai-chan but she's certainly a great friend. I think if she tried to avoid it, that would just make her feel worse. Protecting a friend is good and all but killing yourself from the inside is unforgivable. I think she knows Gaki would want her to just say it. Well, let's just say Ai-ya turns out different from the way they begin in the part. Hmmm, I guess I really made Aya sound like she was using Ai-chan, huh? :mon huh2: Maybe a little too much... Anyway, I love you too!! You (along with everyone else) help to keep me writing! Your feedback helps me more than you know.

Without further ado, the real-ish ending! No more!!! I will NOT succumb to any pressure asking me to write more for this story!!! I'M DONE!! :mon blblbl: :mon evil:
......................................

Better Days: Epilogue ~As For One Day~

     So there I was, sitting in a small café, waiting for the girl that broke my heart. The second time, of course. When I was talking to her on the phone, I could feel my pulse increase with excitement. It had been so long since I heard her voice, her silly laugh. I just felt all warm inside, like everything was right in the world now. Sounds stupid, I know, but something about her…just makes me smile. I shouldn’t feel this way, not after what she did to me but I can’t help it.
     I wrung my hands in my lap, nervous about our first meeting since that huge fight. I looked down at my bare knees to avoid watching the door like a stalker. Was I afraid she wouldn’t come, even though she said she would? I could feel my eyes watering, tears threatening to embarrass me. Fiddling with my dress, I tried to convince myself I didn’t care if she stood me up. That it was ok if we didn’t work things out and stayed mad forever.
     “Hey Ai-chan!”, rang out her voice. My head shot up and I was staring at her, Matsuura Aya. She was just as beautiful as ever, a pale pink dress clinging to her curves. Her smile was radiant as she sat across from me, calling to the waiter and ordering an iced coffee. “So is this gonna be what I think it is?”, she asked me, turning her gaze back towards me. “Probably…”, I trailed off, suddenly wishing I didn’t arrange this. My hands clasped my coffee cup and the heat transferred to my body.
     “First of all, I really need to apologize for my behavior last time”, I said, confidence coming out of nowhere and smacking me in the face. “You’re forgiven, and I suppose I said a few inappropriate things as well”, she replied, “I don’t know what I was thinking.” We looked at each other shyly for a moment, before blushing heavily. That instance proved us both forgiven for our outbursts. “So where does that leave us?”, I asked, reaching for her hand. Her fingers closed around mine and she answered, “I don’t know but this just isn’t working.” A slight awkwardness took over and neither of us spoke for a while. Yet in that time, I came to, quite possibly, the most profound realization ever.

I was not in love with Matsuura Aya, I was in love with the idea of her.

     Not to say that I don’t appreciate Aya-chan as a friend, because I’m glad we found each other in that sense. But as lovers, it just didn’t work. We had different needs and expectations out of intimate relationships. She needed someone to listen to her and treat her like a queen. I needed someone to hold me and be there. Both of us could only do so much to help the other. When Aya-chan and I first talked, the one day in the dressing room, I felt like I had finally found someone who knew what I wanted. But in reality, I had just lost sight of it and clung to the first thing that came my way.
     “Um, Aya-chan?”, I mumbled, “I think we should go back to being friends.” “What?”, she questioned, looking a bit dumbfounded. “I don’t think we’re right for each other”, I told her, “We just want and need different things.” I went on to tell her all the reasons and thoughts that came with that epiphany. All the while, she nodded slowly, still looking mildly hurt. My heart tightened when she let her disappointment show. “I’m so sorry, Aya-chan”, I whispered, reaching over the table and cupping her cheek gently. She brushed her face against my hand like a cat and then slipped my fingers into her pale hand. “It’s ok, but can we still have our little talks?”, she almost whimpered, looking so fragile and childlike. Is that what I looked like when Gaki and I broke up? “Of course we can”, I said in what I hoped was a soothing voice. For the first time since I confessed, a small grin flowered, brightening up the room.
     We chatted for a little while longer, only parting when I realized I had dance practice. “I’m really glad you understand”, I told her. “Of course, I’ll miss you as a makeout buddy but I’m glad we can be regular buddies too”, she giggled, mostly at my quickly reddening face. I began to leave when something popped into my head. I turned back and whispered into her ear, “I heard Miki’s been lonely without you.” Not bothering to turn around to see her reaction, I left the café with a smirk on my face and a whole heart.

In the end, I’m whole, I’m healed. For now, love is not for me.

But one day…..

^ :lol: Your ReinAi love is as bas as my TakaGaki love XD

I'm very pleased with the ending :) A nice bunch of closure for lil' Lovely!
Thank you for not making them get back together, I am a little surprised that Aya was so shocked and saddened (is that even a word :sweatdrop: I think so), surely by now she figured they weren't gonna get back together, its not like she attempted to either... But I guess the shock of actually hearing it and having it confirmed hurt the most... Poor Aya-chan :(
Ai will surely find her happiness one day, she isn't about to rush into anything from now on by the sounds of it, and that was probably her biggest mistake... YAY for triumphant Ai-chan :w00t:  :mon XD: :onioncheer:

@tru_harmony: Yeah, Ai-chan will find love one day!!! You're welcome! It was fun. I totally had a Ishiyoshi idea this morning!! But I kinda forgot it now... :O Wait....wait.....I got it! It's back!! Hopefully, it'll be my next one!!
@maverickpanda: Awww thanks! You're sweet! :heart: After so many ppl making me like other pairings, I'm happy to see that I have the power to do it too!!
@peti-chan: I'm glad you're happy now!! :lol: They're good as friends but as lovers....their personalities kinda clash. Hmm, you have a good point! :lol: But like I said, I'm done! XD
@lollipopgirl: I guess everyone needs closure... :heart: Aya knew something was wrong in their relationship but she was getting a little attached to Ai-chan. Which is another one of her flaws/qualities (depending on how you look at it). But now Aya is going back to Miki, maybe, so she'll be ok. As for Ai-chan, she's taking it easy! Oh and btw, my LJ is lonely!!! And I want some more sexy fics out of you!!! :w00t:
@kRisZ: :P

This might kind of suck. I got the idea after part 2 of Better Days but didn't have time to work on it. I was pre-occupied with other things (AKA Better Days parts 3-6!) So it's not too great. Try and enjoy though! :lol:
.........................

Hitorijime

     Ishikawa Rika sat in her favorite chair, the soft white one next to the window. Her manicured feet curled under her, she turned to the pane of glass, stroking it lightly. Outside, it was cloudy, the premonition of a storm. Rika’s gaze traced the cityscape, her eyes following the sharp points. The gray sky outlined the gray buildings, creating a sort of painting that reflected in her solemn amber eyes. She sighed, her breath fogging up the glass. Her thin finger traced two characters in the haze, the name of her lover. But Rika was alone again, as usual. It was nothing new, as the 23-year-old spent most nights by herself. Sometimes waiting for those footsteps and other times pushing them from her mind.
     She knew it was her own fault, though. She had been warned countless times not to fall in love with that devil of a woman. But her heart couldn’t stay away from the alluring scent and taste of her lightly tanned skin, the feeling of her slim hands over her body. Every time they were together, she got this tingling sensation, this sense of worth. When their lips grazed each other, Rika shot to the moon. She felt special, despite knowing tons of other girls were made to feel that way by the same person. She cast a spell over them all, turning them into her lovesick puppies. They all wanted to be her one and only, regardless of the fact that they definitely weren’t. Somehow, somehow, her affection was enough to erase the other faces in their minds. Enough to make them forget, at least for a while.
     The door creaked and Rika’s ears detected the slightest of movements. She turned to see a sweaty and exhausted looking Fujimoto Miki in the entry way, struggling to remove her shoes before collapsing on her face in the living room. Rika made no move to help the woman up. She instead got up and walked past the body to the bedroom. She went into the bathroom and cleaned up for bed. Her clothing was traded for a T-shirt and pajama pants. Climbing onto the lavender sheet-clad bed, Rika resisted glancing out the open door to see if Miki still lay there. Thoughts reverting back to her contempt, she wondered exactly how many others there were. She knew of quite a few but what about the ones that were too shy or embarrassed to confess that their hearts now resided in Miki’s arms? She didn’t even hesitate to think those sorts of girls existed in their twisted relationship. No doubt Miki was able to get in the panties of the reserved ones. Perhaps even a few of the kids had experienced some new sensations at the hands of the infamous “Groping Demon”.
     Rika pulled the down comforter over her body and curled into a ball, laying on her side. Sleep came easily and soon, all that could be heard from the bedroom was soft breathing. Until, of course, Miki picked herself off the floor and settled into the bed. She moved closer and closer to the sleeping woman until they were spooning. A slender arm made its way onto Rika’s soft stomach, softly rubbing the warm skin. Rika was awake by now, but made no move to stop it from crawling up and settling on her ample chest. The hand squeezed the mound in its possession gently, earning a slight mew. The older woman wished so hard not to feel the way she did but the body never lies. The hand on her breast began a seductive massage, causing Rika to press back into the slim body behind her. Miki’s other hand, which had been dormant, snuck onto the body in front of her and slipped under the pink hem of pajama pants.
     At that point, Rika wondered if Miki knew which of her flings she was with. As pressure built up within her body, she decided she really didn’t want to know. After her release, the arms wrapped around her, pulling her close. Miki pressed her lips onto Rika’s neck, lapping lightly. “I love you”, she whispered, tickling the sensitive skin. But the older girl stayed quiet, not wanting to succumb to the temptation. “Rika-chan…”, she whined, needing to hear something from those lips. “I-I love you too”, came the quivering response. Rika didn’t want to say it, didn’t want to give up her dignity, but in the end, the body doesn’t lie. A soft whimper followed the statement, barely audible. The poor girl couldn’t hold in the pain any longer and cried out. Miki held her as the sobs got louder. She had no idea why Rika was freaking out like this.
    “Why the tears, babe?”, Miki asked after getting the emotional girl to face her. The look in her eyes was almost too painful to look at. There was no response, just a blank stare. “Rika, are you ok?”, she questioned, beginning to panic. What could be wrong with her? Silence enveloped them, except for the faint sobbing coming from Rika’s tired form. Taxis could be heard driving on the street outside, honking and revving their engines. The city sounds seemed to calm the distressed girl, her chest heaving less and cries slowing. Her face was flushed, sweaty and exhausted. Miki desperately wanted to avoid those eyes but something compelled her to gaze into them. “Why are you crying, Rika?”, she tried one last time.

“Ichinichi dake watashi ni anata no subete”, replied Rika, her voice quiet, “kono hitomi ni kudasai, hitorijime.”

The words stung but Miki knew that’s what they all wanted.

I had a feeling in the back of my mind this wasn't going to be IshiYoshi. Miki and Rika =  :shocked:
Anyone mind translating that the japanese words meant? :P I need a little help. I have to catch up with "Better Days," you wrote so many chapters *weeeeeeeeeeeeee~~~~~~~~~~*  :)

EDIT: There, I've finished. We seriously have to stop making the girls cut themseslves. I think readers will get an heart attack sooner or later XD I know I almost did while reading Part 5 :D I'm just glad Ai-chan survived. Awww she didn't end up with anyone but the day will come when someone will know how to love her. Maybe a certain Sayu someone... :P
