lol, 2 weeks XD

anyway, still no idea... haha... i haven't seen my girl for sooooooooooooooo long... i are dying XD

KISS! AND KISS! AND KI~SS! That song should be my girl’s theme song XD

apologies for keeping you in wait...here'a an...

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"What do you mean, not necessary, Yoshiko?!" Mai answered Hitomi angrily. She stomped towards Hitomi, who was still aided by Aya to stay standing. Aya was surprised by Mai's seeming rage but Hitomi did not react even a bit.

"Miki saw her at the airport!" Mai pointed at Miki. "She could very well be flying back to Japan now! Had you done something, she wouldn't even be at the airport! She would be with us, and you wouldn't be killing yourself like that!"

"Mai, you do not understand." Hitomi tugged on Aya's arm as a signal to let go. Though hesitant, Aya knew better than to oppose Hitomi. Aya stepped back but not too far back that she may catch Hitomi if the latter just suddenly falls or faints.

Hitomi kept her eyes on the floor. "If she wants to leave, I cannot stop her." Her voice sounded cold and her tone, detached. "Even if I want to, I can't stop her."

~~

Shark dialled her phone, ready to call her master.

She thoroughly prepared her apology speech with some really formal and dramatic language. Such as “Forgive me for my lapse in judgment that I didn't immediately report that we have located the target and that I have left my post on the most crucial moment.”

No amount of drama or diplomacy can save her, she knew. She can’t even blame Third for not being on call. Third works alone. Damn.

As the phone rang, she braced herself for what expect to be rage and wrath, she prayed to all the saints of all the faiths that she knew, even Santa Claus, that they may stop the onslaught that she anticipated to come.

But the phone went on ringing unanswered. Did the saints answer her prayer? Maybe, but only for now, she will still have to report what happened.

“WHY ME?!”

~~

“I can look for her, and find her, even if she doesn’t want to be found. Hitomi took on step towards them three. “I can protect her even when she doesn’t want it. And I will, once she’s been found.”

“Yes, I can know where she is and what she does. But I can’t stop her from moving forward. I can’t close the doors to her future. I have no place in her future--”

Mai almost couldn’t restrain herself from slapping her friend. “Whoever said, you shouldn’t be part of her future!?”

“No. You don’t understand…”

“Yoshiko,” said gently, not wanting to add any more tension “tell us, that we might understand…”

Hitomi started crying like none of them has ever seen before. Then silence.

She wiped her tears on hem of her sleeve. She recomposed herself, more stone faced than before.

“You don’t know what it feels like, to be the cause of all her misery”

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere we go...:cry:

The sad part is...this shows that Rika and Yossi really ARE in sync, to the point where they're both willing to sacrifice their own happiness because they blame themselves for the troubles of the other.  :banghead:

 :cow: UPDATE!!!

Yay Yay!!!

=============

Anyway...

It's kind of understandable that Yossy wants her free so she can learn to fend for herlself... we can live forever protected from the real world, its too uthopic.

The sad part is...this shows that Rika and Yossi really ARE in sync, to the point where they're both willing to sacrifice their own happiness because they blame themselves for the troubles of the other.  :banghead:
Ditto that MAN... Ditto THAT!

In general it was a nice update, the only downside is that it is too short XD (but that's just me... )

Gambareeeee!!!
You can do it!!!
Obama says: "Yes, We can"  :on asmo:

You're breaking my heart, tru...quit it. :lol: It's painful to see them both thinking that they cause the other so much agony when to me, it's quite the opposite. They never seemed happier than when they were together. I have faith that they will get back together~~~ :thumbsup

Sorry, I totally missed it… The past year went fast-slow-fast-slow unexpectedly, yes? So much can happen in a year…

Ho wut dut = Rikacchan
XD

… cuz I’m really a good kid, even if I do evil and stupid shit XD … all at once! XD
EDIT:
sadistru dance
^kinda messed up cuz of many factors XD... but i got it nailed, baby!!!!

UPDATE!!!!!!

Hitomi sat alone in her office after convincing Aya that they talk tomorrow rather than today. Aya seemed to have something important to say and she did say that it was about Rika but Hitomi wouldn’t hear it. She just didn’t want to talk about Rika. She didn’t want to think about Rika. But it couldn’t be helped. She has been reminded enough.

Before finally diverting her attention back to her work, she looked at the ring Rika put on her and Rika’s ring which she wore on her pinky. Still, a perfect match. It would be better if the other ring was on its real owner’s hand.

She wondered why Rika even bothered to put her ring on her. It kept her hoping that Rika would come back… if it meant to Rika as it did to her.

She leaned back and sunk into her chair. She was glad Ayaka finally let her back on her desk and left her alone in her office.

She understood why they were upset at her lack of action but to drag Rika back was just selfish.

Choosing to be helpless wasn’t as bad as she thought. It sure wasn’t as bad as being helpless when she didn’t want to be. Like that day when Rika left.

~~

She sat alone at the coffee shop where she and Yumiko would meet up all those years ago. She hasn’t gone here since Yumiko’s death. She sipped the hot jasmine tea she ordered as did then. Like years ago, she was early for the rendezvous. Only now, she was waiting for a different person.

“Fujiko, why did you call.” Rei Matsuura asked aloud as he approached her.

Fujiko smiled. “Always so serious, Rei…”

“I had to cancel a meeting to be here. This better be important.”

“Rei, Rei, Rei… I thought you had entrusted the business to your daughter?” She teased, knowing how the shift in power came to be.

“I did not entrust the business to her!”

“Now, now… calm down… This is a rather quiet store, absolutely no place for yelling and your crazy fists.” She took another sip from the cup before setting it down on her coaster. “I decided to see you because I found out that your daughter just fulfilled a promise for you. Without even knowing it! I’m so proud of her… It was good that I didn’t take her from you, else, you would have totally broken your promise.”

“My promise? What on earth are you talking about?!”

“Yoichi’s Rikacchi… Who would’ve thought that your daughter would help Jin’s daughter save that girl… Had I been here when Yoichi died, I would have taken that girl in… I imagined you would…”

“Yoichi left her a stepmother…”

“And a lot of debts…”

“I am not responsible for Yoichi’s mistakes…”

“Rei, I want to remind you how much Yoichi put on the line for your… sake.”

“But Tsuki died!”

“Ah, Tsuki… always Tsuki… dead but still very much alive to you, isn’t she?” Fujiko laughed, masking some hurt, posing insult. “Are you blaming Yoichi for that? He was as loyal to you as he was to his own family! Anyway, Little Rikacchi has bought a pretty good portion of the company so, I’m quite pleased that she has resources…” She turned to face her ex-husband with a smile. “You should thank Hicchan… I heard she paid off every single debt Ishikawa left. What a good kid... But you would never thank her, right?”

I’ve been talking a bit with some folks here and there and I noticed some are trying to get me into all sorts of stuff XD
Sorry, ladies, cuz only ISHIYOSHI ROX MY SOX!!!
=
The BIGAKU is now officially, my girl’s theme song XD

KISS! and KISS! and KI~SS!

We only see each other online… so that sucks but that’s better than nothing… thank GOD for webcams of all resolutions XD
=
Fathers’ Day is coming up… and even if I do seem to be a father-hater (refer to fic XD), and I do hate my dad for a lot of shit, he’s still my old man…
 
Something I learned when I was in highschool was ‘You can never be too old or be too angry to hold your father’s hand’ (unless you’re Yossui on this fic XD)

So yeah XD
=
Dunno if I’ll be updating again this week so, I’mma greet our favorite To-chan now… dunno if all people celebrate it on the same day either so whatever… XD

Happy Father’s day… even if you really aren’t a father XD… we wish you are jajajajajajajajajajaja… I wish she’s my dad XD

To-chan!! Haha (another retarded fantasy)

UPDATE!!!!!!!

At the arrival bay of Narita International Airport, two men were waiting.

“Are you sure the flight is today?” One anxiously asked the other.

“Of course! The Boss reminded me himself.”

“Could she have passed by us without us noticing it?”

“Oi.” The brawnier man rolled up a newspaper getting ready to smack the impatient one.

He held out his hands in defense. “Hey, no need for that…”

Their little exchange was interrupted by the buzzing her the brawnier one’s mobile phone. Upon putting the device close to his ear, he had to pull away almost immediately as he was greeted with yelling and accusation.

He turned away from his companion as he spoke. “Uh, sir, we haven’t called you yet because, Ms. Ishikawa has not yet arrived… … Sir, we’ve been waiting here for six hours. … … …. … There was no advisory that any flight from the Philippines was delayed…. … Sir, we’ve been on the lookout the whole time… …No sir. … … sumimasen… Yes, we should have asked… Yes sir. Yes. Right away, sir…. … …Ye--” Their boss hung up.

The newspaper rolled up in his hand flew onto to the head of his companion just before he talked to some airport personnel.

~

Mai walked behind Hitomi as she walked to her condo assisted by Ayaka. The three were debating on how the setup for tonight will go.

“You don’t have to stay tonight, you know? I’ll be okay… Just some fever… By tomorrow, I’ll be up and running again.” Hitomi said, although her appearance told the two she was lying.

“You are not running anywhere, Yoshiko. You will stay at home for the next 48 hours. And Mai and I will be staying over.” Ayaka firmly said.

“No… okay… here’s a deal… you two stay over… and I’ll be at the office tomorrow.” Hitomi negotiated.

“No deal.”

“But Aya and me have something to talk about  tomorrow.”

“She will come over to your place tomorrow so you can talk in privacy.”

“Hmmmm…” Hitomi thought about it. “How about… I stay at home and you guys don’t come into my house…”

“No more negotiations for you, Ms. President!” Mai lightly and carefully tackled Hitomi from behind, immediately scolded by Ayaka.

“Don’t be so rough on her. She’s still sick…”

“That was a light tackle!”

“She’s sick, end of story.” Ayaka said as she pulled the key to the condo from her pocket.

They could barely here the prolonged ‘No’ coming from Hitomi as Ayaka twisted the key and the door made that creaking sound again.

~

In their hotel room, Miki and Aya were not speaking to each oth—

“Why didn’t you tell me right away that you saw Rika!?” Ayaya asked with slight frustration.

“Didn’t I tell you earlier, I didn’t have a reason to stop her!”

“You could’ve at least stalled her and called for me because I have reason to stop her!”

“What reason is that?”

“Yocchan is our friend. That is reason enough”

“Didn’t you see? Yocchan was letting her go!”

“And she had her reasons to do so… She loves Rika…”

“That’s still not reason enough for me to stop Rika-chan or to call you to stop Rika-chan.”

“What reason would be enough for you?!”

“If she didn’t want to go, and someone was forcing her, I’d keep her from leaving. But she was there, by herself, walking in the airport. She really might not want to leave, but she’s there on her own free will!”

Aya’s eyebrows met. “Great, you’re just confusing me now… She wants to leave… but doesn’t want to leave… but wants to leave? … I’m lost.”

“Just do your business with Yoshizawa and let me have my vacation. I’m tired, I’m going to bed…”

“Oi, Mikitan… … Miki!” Aya called as Miki climbed unto the bed.

LMAO at the agents! XD Yossy still doesn't get it after all this time? What Ayaka says is what goes down. :P Hmm, Miki still seems a little...strange. But I guess she knows Yossy pretty damn well so she knows what to do. Meh, Ayaya's not getting any tonight. :P

*GOONS AT AIRPORT*
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...I'm hoping that they're working for Yossi or The Eyes...but I can't shake the feeling that they're working for that fucktard Jin, in which case, it looks like the fucker's gonna backstab Rika! :angry:

*YAM AT YOSSI'S PLACE*
Mai and Ayaka are probably the only two that Yossi can't beat at negotiations. :P

IT WAS A LIGHT TACKLE! XD

*GAM AT HOTEL*
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...GAM at a hotel. :drool:

*coughs*

What I meant was...both Miki and Aya have valid points, and neither of them is really in the wrong for not letting the other know what it was that she knew. It's a situation of "ifs". IF Miki had told Aya right away about seeing Rika at the airport, then a lot of this stress could have been avoided. By the same token, IF Miki had actually known that Aya (and/or Yossi) had a reason for wanting to stop Rika from leaving, she would have done something to do that.

At any rate, what's done is done, what's past is past. What they need to concentrate on NOW is what they can do to find her, instead of dwelling on how they could have kept her from leaving in the first place.

* tru_harmony whines

kinda unfinished UPDATE!!! absolutely not proofread, spellchecked or anything TT___TT

Hitomi closed her eyes and sighed in exasperation as her two friends dragged her into her own home.

“What the hell, Yoshiko?” Mai said, frustrated at Hitomi’s lack of cooperation. “We’ve been here before, you know… you got nothing to hide. Unless you got a new girl hiding in here ~”

“Nooooo…”

Ayaka reached for the switch on the wall and turned on the lights. Light flooded the room and revealed nothing out of the ordinary. Except perhaps the bedroom pillows…  and Rika’s old jersey… … and the blanket… all on the couch.

Hitomi just bowed her head waiting for it…

“Yoshiko, you’ve been sleeping here in the living room?!” Ayaka asked Hitomi as she looked around the room.

The response was just a weak nod and nothing more.

“Mai, bring her pillows and blanket back to her roo-“

“No.” Hitomi quickly butted in just as Mai was putting the items together on a stack. “I won’t sleep there.”

“Yoshiko, it’s best that you rest in the prope—“

“No.”

“How about the guest room?”

“No.”

Ayaka smiled. Hitomi looked like a two year-old saying no to everything. “You’ll make Mai and me sleep on the floor again?” She turned to the stubborn Hitomi and held both her shoulders.

Hitomi would not look at Ayaka. “I… I didn’t ask for you guys to stay over… If you’re not gonna let me go to work tomorrow, I’ll be okay here by myself…”

“Is that so?... but you have a fever and you need to eat… can you cook your food?”

“I’ll manage…”

“Oh, I bet Rika has spoiled you so bad, you wouldn’t eat anything that she didn’t cook~”

Hitomi tried to push Ayaka’s hands off her shoulder. She just had to say the name, right? She just had to.

“You’re hoping she’ll come back to you?”

“Does it matter if I’m hoping for it? It’s definitely not happening, is it?”

“Oh, Yoshiko…” Ayaka’s hand slid down Hitomi’s arm and held her hand. “You’ve been taking care of her plants better than you’ve been taking care of yourself…” Ayaka pointed at the flowers by the windows.

“It’d be harder for me if those plants died... it was hard to get them way up here, you know”

“Yeah, Ayumi told us…” She gave Hitomi a pat on the head. “But you don’t have to deny how much you miss Rikachan… We’re worried about you, Yoshiko...”

“You don’t have to worry…”

“What do you mean, we don’t have to worry?! You’re all starved and you have a fever!”

“I’ll be okay now…”

“Oi Mai, do you believe this?” Ayaka stepped a bit to the side but keeping a pointing finger at Hitomi, as if she was an inanimate object.

“not one… BIT!” Mai yelled as she threw a pillow at Hitomi which hit the target square on the head.

“MAI!!!! She’s still sick!”

“Ah.. yeah… sorry”

Aww~ *sends tru love in the boondocks* :P

Yossy is so falling apart. :( But it's kinda comforting that she still has some sort of hope that Rika will come home to her. Ayaka and Mai are :heart: in their own way~
