@KrisZ: Sorry for hyping you up for nothing!
@sweeety: Uhh, twin telepathy at work again!
I hope this chapter will turn out fine...I'm so tired now. Probably I will put another up next weekend if I've time. School is terribly busy! Enjoy!
F.Y.I
Chapter 26
Love Prison
December 25 (8.31pm)
She stood in front of the white door and hesitated. The snowflakes fell on her as questions ran through her mind. Was it ok for her to intrude into the party? Would she spoil the party? Was she better off alone now? But she knew she needed to speak to someone. She glanced at the book in her hands and the image of the girl whom she loved most surfaced to her mind. She recalled the sorrow in her eyes when she spoke solemnly those words that both hurt and touched her heart.
She knocked on the door and waited for a few seconds before her friend with a lollipop in her mouth opened it. She didn’t conceal her shock to see the unexpected visitor as her eyes widened. Rika inched a step forward and hugged her friend and exclaimed with a grin on her face, “Merry Christmas Ayumi!”
Ayumi returned the hug and giggled. “Merry Christmas to you Rika!” she said with a lilt in her voice.
Then, she led her best friend to the hall whereby the small cozy party was held. The rest of the Melon Kinenbi were dancing to the Nikutai wa Shoujiki na EROS in the hall and laughing away. They didn’t even notice Rika’s presence as they were too engrossed in the dance though it was very messy. Masae was spinning round and round on the spot while Hitomi was doing the shimmy shaking her boobs. As for Megumi, she was diligently dancing to the rhythm though she appeared to be somewhat drunk. Rika couldn’t help but to wonder what Tsunku would think when he saw this scene. Should he be happy that they were still rehearsing on a rest day? Or should he be disappointed at the disorder in the dance?
Watching the girls dance in front of her, it induced a smile on Rika’s face as it reminded her of the fun Morning Musume gathering that they had some years ago where they competed for ‘who could mess up the dance the best’. She attempted on Love Machine with the rest of the 4th generation and they won the contest. Those were the days.
“Rika, what brings you here? Christmas is always spent with Yossie, isn’t it?” Ayumi asked cheekily, bringing her back to reality once more.
Silence fell upon them for some time as Rika figured a way to tell her what had happened. Rika murmured, “Yossie gave me a book filled with our memories just now.” She passed the book to Ayumi and said without exchanging any eye contact, “She said the next time when she says ‘I love you’, she wants to mean every single word of that phrase.”
Ayumi nodded knowingly and asked, “So it’s over? What did you say?”
“I told her I’ll wait for her…”
“What did she say?”
“She said thank you…”
Silence descended upon them before Ayumi held Rika’s hands tight and whispered, “How do you feel now?”
Rika shook her head and answered, “I feel…kind of free now as though I’ve broken free of the chains that imprisoned me. But people always say that love that can stand the 7 years test will last forever so I’m disappointed that we can’t pass the test even though I’ve tried my best.” Rika paused as she recalled all that had happened in this month and tears welled up in her eyes. Longing to jealousy to possessiveness to freedom, the rollercoaster of emotions had left her exhausted.
She glanced at Ayumi and noticed her friend looking worriedly at her. She smiled. Love wasn’t all in life. “Oh well, the ball is in her court now and if after this, she still chooses me, maybe then we can last forever.” She squeezed Ayumi’s hands to indicate that she was alright.
“Rika, if you have anything, you can look for me, you know? I will be your listening ears.”
“You can look for me too!” Hitomi placed her arms on Rika’s shoulder and exclaimed.
“Me too!” Masae raised her right hand up and screamed.
“Don’t leave me out!” Megumi shouted and hugged Rika from behind.
She didn’t know how much those girls knew about what had happened but with them beside her, it was enough. She felt warmth enveloping her and that feeling wasn’t due to chains of love but rather pure friendship. Tears rolled down Rika’s cheeks and she mumbled with a smile, “Thank you everyone…”

December 25 (8.46pm)
Eri and Yossie struggled to carry Miki to her apartment as the drunken girl kept swinging her hands wildly and shouting incoherent words. When they were outside her apartment, Yossie fidgeted with her handbag and took out the key to the apartment and in the process of doing so, the clock pendant fell to the ground. Yossie bent down to pick it up and she noticed that there was a distinct crack in the middle of the clock. She thought, “She will kill me for this if this is from Aya. Hope not.”
When they were in the apartment, the 2 girls literally threw the protesting Miki on the bed in her room and let out sighs of relief. Yossie sat on the edge of the bed and gazed at the girl shouting incoherent messages on the bed and she shook her head.
“Why did she end up in this state?” Yossie asked to no one in particular.
Eri stood with her back on the door, staring at Miki. She confessed, “Actually I’m part of the reason why she became like that. We sent those letters to Aya. I never imagine that this will happen. I just wanted to tame her…”
“We?” Yossie asked softly without any eye contact with the younger girl.
“Rika and I,” Eri stated as a matter-of-fact. She added as an afterthought, “I’m sorry Yossie.”
Yossie shook her head.
She was involved after all… “It’s not your fault. You didn’t intend for it to happen. It just somehow happened.” Silence fell upon them for a few seconds before Yossie added, “Anyway, if you want to drink, just remember not to get as drunk as this.” Eri nodded obediently.
Yossie took another look at Miki who was now rolling all over the bed. It seemed better for them to leave the place. Just when she was about to stand up, she felt Miki gripping her arms tight from behind. She turned and she was taken by surprise when the drunken girl began to kiss her on the neck and sneaked her hand under her blouse.
Yossie tried to push her off but it was to no avail. Miki was stronger than usual. Then she looked back at Eri who was watching the scene with her eyes wide open and rushed through her words, “I’ll settle it over here. You can go.” Eri raised her eyebrows as she watched Miki smooch the former leader of Morning Musume who was wearing the expression as though ‘settling it’ was a daily business. She then obediently left the room and the apartment. She would have a lot to say to her fellow MM mates.
When Yossie heard the main door closing, she immediately turned to Miki and tried to push her away. But it was too late. Miki was already naked on top of her and she was unhooking her own bra. It felt weird to be in such a vulnerable position. Usually she was the one on top. Miki mumbled, “Aya…I-”
“I’m not Aya,” Yossie said firmly and she held Miki’s arms tight.
Miki paused her venture for a moment and she gazed at Yossie in a seducing manner and she murmured, “I hate you but I want you, Aya…”
“Mi-” Before Yossie could finish her sentence, Miki had pressed her lips against Yossie’s and her tongue had intertwined with
Yossie’s. Her hands skillfully undressed Yossie and at the same time, turning her on as well. Miki was so hot even in her drunken state. Her legs were pressing on hers and that was a sensation that she never experienced before…
This is wrong! You can’t take advantage of her like that! She heard a voice shouting at her. Miki was her friend and things had gotten so bad between Miki and Aya and something like this would break their relationship. She thought, "If this is to happen between us, at least, she should know that she's having it with Yoshizawa Hitomi..."
Confused, Yossie remained unmoving. As much as she knew that this was wrong and she would be in a way taking advantage of her drunken state, she was turned on as well. Before she could even think coherently, she felt the other girl’s hands unbuttoning her jeans…

December 25 (11.35pm)
Aya placed the disc carefully into the DVD player and sat on the couch in her own apartment. On the screen, Miki stood in one of the studio rooms with a wide yet shy grin on her face. Tears trickled down her cheeks as she thought, “Will I see that smile again?” After several seconds, Miki bowed and then said cheerily, “Merry Christmas Aya-chan! This is for you – momoiro kataomoi. Enjoy!”
Then, Miki imitated Aya’s actions and voice, “Ah ikou yo! 1, 2, 3!” Then, she began to dance like what Aya did all the time to the song and sang, “Momoiro no kataomoi koishiteru MAJIMAJI to mitsumeteru CHIRACHIRA tte me ga aeba mune ga KYURURUN momoiro no FANTAJI…”
Aya smiled to herself as she watched Miki do the hip twist in the middle of the verse as she looked so comical. “Perhaps that was what Miki thought whenever she watched me dance,” she murmured to herself. Miki hated looking comical. But she always let down her ‘guard’ whenever she was with Aya as though that strong pride never existed before. Aya thought, “It was so obvious that Miki treated me differently from her smile, words and body language. Why did I take so long to realize? Why can’t I show that I love her and it’s not an unrequited love?”
“Maji maji to yume miteru anata ni wa miemasu ka?…” Somehow that smile on her face vanished momentarily and was replaced by a slight frown when she sang that line. Probably that question ran through her head every now and then. She reprimanded herself, “I should have known it earlier and show that I know your love by reciprocating. I’m sorry, Miki-tan…” Tears ran down her cheeks as though they were testament to that true love that she threw away with her own hands.
“Momoiro no FANTAJI…” The music came to an end and so did the dance. Miki waved goodbye and she mouthed “Aishiteru” before the screen turned blank. The video ended with ‘I love you’. Would their love end with that as well?

December 26 (10.24am)
Her eyes opened slowly and she was shocked to see herself naked alone on her bed. She jumped up from the initial resting position. “What had happened last night?” she asked aloud to no one in particular. No answer came. She was alone. She closed her eyes in an attempt to recall what had happened last night and an image of Eri and Yossie dragging her back to her apartment. A scary thought came to her mind which sent adrenaline pumping all over her body: Would it be them? Or would it be just one of them?
She began to experience a bad headache and she lay on the bed yet again in an attempt to shake the headache away. She then took deep breaths in an attempt to calm herself down. She closed her eyes yet again and this time round, she could vaguely remember Yossie pushing her off herself with such force that she ended up hitting the bed frame before she left the room………..
