“It’s a pleasure to meet a girl as pretty as you, Ms Tanaka. Everything is on the house. Please enjoy your meal,” Mr Michishige bowed and kissed the back of Reina’s hand. Reina caught a small wink from him. Now she knows where Sayu get her lessons from.
Haha :lol:

Ai's a successor with stiff and business minded parents... what will happen to Risa.?.  :shocked and TakaGaki  :frustrated:

“Reina-channnn~ you’re here. Let’s go honey,” Sayu quickly claimed Reina’s hand causing the younger girl to cringe a little at the overfriendliness.

Cute  :gmon twirl:

Chapter 10

The echoes of her footsteps reverberated through the empty hallways as Risa made her way to the student council room. Her weary mind lightens up to the thought of finally meeting her girlfriend in the said room after being separated for the whole day by their cruel schedules and student responsibilities.

As she placed her hand of the wooden door, she heard light giggling and chatting from inside the room. Risa felt strange as all other committee members should have gone home by now. Quietly pushing the door, she was welcomed by an unpleasant view of Linlin sitting very very close to her Ai-chan. So close that Risa could see their knees touching each other. Furthermore, Linlin had her hand touching her Ai-chan’s arm. Risa feign a cough to make her presence known to the two girls who were obviously lost in whatever conversation they were so engrossed in. That caught Ai’s attention as Ai gave her bright smile to Risa in recognition.

“Oh Risa, Linlin was just telling me about the latest games she’s been playing. Turn out Linlin is a gamer as well,” Ai said excitedly, grinning at Linlin.

“How exciting,” Risa walked towards the couch that Ai and Linlin were sitting on, her strained smile plastered on her face.

Linlin stood up and looked at her watch, “It’s getting late. I’ll make a move first. I’ll pass you the game tomorrow Takahashi-san; and bye Niigaki-san”

Risa gave a half wave as she settled down next to Ai. She frowned as Ai went through the files on the coffee table, smiling and humming to an unknown song.

“Stop frowning, Risa-chan. You’re gonna get wrinkles that way,” Ai playfully pinched Risa’s cheek.

Risa pouted. Shouldn’t Ai try to pacify her? She glanced at the files spread on the tables. She saw the reports that the dean requested from them yesterday all completed.

“Send me home, Ai” Risa spoke sternly to Ai, resulting in a baffled look from Ai. Ai nodded and quickly cleared the table.

The drive home was heavy with silence as neither one said a word. Ai frequently glanced sideways to Risa, unsure if she should start any conversation. Risa has been acting weird ever since she came to the room. Ai tried to recall any incident that she had accidentally stepped on Risa’s tail, anything that could have caused her girlfriend to be mad at her. The car came to stop as they reached Risa’s home. Ai was contemplating if it was alright for her to give Risa a goodbye kiss when Risa turned towards her and said,

“Come in for dinner?” Ai just nodded and followed Risa into her home.

“Mum, I’m home,” Risa grabbed the wide-eyed Ai’s hand and pulled her into the living room.

“Welcome back Risa. Oh you brought a friend home?” Mrs Niigaki smiled at Ai as she walked out of the kitchen.

Risa was about to introduce Ai to her mother when a younger girl ran down the stairs, almost knocking into Ai.

“Oops sorry Ai-san,” the young girl apologise to Ai. Ai wondered if she had met the girl before.

“Airi! How many times do I have to tell you not to run down the stairs like that,” Risa chided her younger sister, “how do you know Ai-chan anyway?”

“The pictures in your room duh,” Airi rolled her eyes and whispered to Ai, “plus she just can’t shut up about you.”

“Airi!” Risa tried to cover Airi’s mouth, but the younger girl had anticipated her sister’s action and quickly hid behind Ai. Risa crossed her arms, sulking whilst Ai and her mother laughed at her.

“Hi Ai-san, I’m Airi, the indisputable cute and lovely younger sister of this household,” Airi grinned.

“Not to mention irritating,” Risa grumbled.

Mrs Niigaki quickly stopped her daughters’ squabbling and herded the girls into the kitchen, where dinner awaited them. Risa was disappointed that she could not introduced Ai to her father who had to work late that evening. Sipping her drink, Ai allowed herself to bask in the pleasant warmth of this family; something that was lacking in her own.

“Mum, can Ai sleep over tonight?” Ai raised her eyebrows at Risa, not expecting her girlfriend to want her to spend the night there as well.

Mrs Niigaki allowed Risa’s request, provided Ai’s parents has no objection. Ai informed Mrs Niigaki that her parents are out of the country for most of the time and would not have any problem with it. Ai thanked Mrs Niigaki for giving her the chance to enjoy the home-cooked dinner. Mrs Niigaki insisted that Ai rest for the night and wouldn’t let her help with the dishwashing, citing that Ai was their important guest of the day. Thanking Mrs Niigaki again, Ai followed Risa back to her room with Airi in tow.

“Oh that’s the bear I gave you for your birthday last year,” Ai excitedly pointed to a lone brown bear sitting on Risa’s bed.

“Yeah, she sleeps with it every night. She won’t let anyone else touch it,” Airi teased. Risa turned her head in embarrassment.

“Okay that’s it. From now on, you are barred from my room,” Risa quickly pushed Airi out of her room before Airi exposed any more embarrassing secrets of hers to Ai. Turning to Ai, “And you my dear, change your clothes and go to sleep.”

“You sure act strange today Risa. Is there anything wrong?” Ai finally voiced out the question she’s wanted to ask Risa since they left the council room.

“You know, I should be asking you that. I wished you would depend on me more,” Risa said sullenly.

Ai looked at Risa confused, not understanding what her girlfriend meant. Risa wiped a tear from her eyes and lamented how she could not help Ai in something as simple as the student council matters. That Ai rather burned the midnight oil on her own and would not ask Risa to help. That she was scared that Ai would not need her anymore. Walking slowly to Risa, Ai hugged Risa and hushed her, trying to ease any insecurity her girlfriend may have.

“I’m sorry for whatever I did. But you are here with me, that’s more than I can ask for,” Ai kissed her girlfriend’s nose and smiled.

Risa smiled back, feeling silly now that she was worried for nothing. “Nee Ai-chan, you didn’t sleep last night, right? Let’s go to bed.”

Ai nodded, suddenly feeling tired. She let Risa tuck her in to bed, waiting for Risa to join her. She felt her eyes leaden as she lost consciousness, wrapped in Risa’s arms. She could hear a faint whisper of love before she leave for slumber land.

~~~

Aika chuckled, seeing Reina was laughing in merriment over a joke she made. It has been a long time since she saw Reina this happy. The reason did not matter to her, as long as she can see the happiness radiate from her best friend once more. She wanted her Reina, her princess back. That’s all that matters to her.

“Nee Aika, I want to see the pictures you took,” Reina reached for Aika’s camera.

“You can’t!” Aika grabbed the camera from Reina’s hand. Seeing the stunned look on the girl, Aika reasoned, “The photographs have to go through my editor before anyone else could view them. Sorry Reina-chan. I promise I’ll show you next time.”

Reina grinned, nodding her understanding on Aika’s position.

“Hmm it’s late. Kamei-san hasn’t come home yet,” Aika looked at the clock, deciding to change the topic in an attempt to reduce any awkwardness.

“Eri is spending the night at Sayu’s place, so she won’t be home tonight,” Reina glanced at Eri’s room, not understanding why she was feeling a slight void at the moment.

The barely noticeable change of expression did not escape Aika and she decided to lightened the mood by telling Reina how Sayu agreed to model for her in exchange for cakes and information about Reina. Reina laughed at how Sayu-like that was, amused by the antics of the devilish bunny.

Aika decided to take full advantage of the time that they can spend alone together...

~~~

“Bye Grandma! Enjoy your dinner date with Grandpa,” Eri waved the elderly couple as they walked to their car.

“Yeah Grandpa, make sure you don’t get up to anything funny,” Sayu grinned mischievously.

“Sayu!” Eri smacked Sayu’s hand. Sayu faked a pout, igniting a giggle from the turtle.

A soft piano sound could be heard from the house next to them. Eri closed her eyes, appreciating the melody that she found familiar.

“Isn’t that your favourite song?” Sayu stood next to Eri, looking at the place next to hers. It housed a newly-opened Chinese restaurant.

Like Sayu’s family, the owner also resides in the upper floor of the restaurant. Sayu had heard that the family has a daughter of Sayu’s age though Sayu had yet the chance to meet the girl. Oh well, there’s always an opportunity for that later.

After locking the front door to the restaurant, the two girls walked up the stairs to Sayu’s room. Eri made herself comfortable on Sayu’s couch, clicking the remote for any interesting television channel she can watch. Sayu, on the other hand, just stood at the door preparing herself for the conversation she was about to initiate. Taking a deep breath, Sayu asked,

“Eri, what’s going on between you and Reina?”

“Huh?” Eri almost choked on her orange juice, surprised by Sayu’s question.

“Are you girls dating or something? It’s just that I often see both of you come of you come to school together in the mornings, and I’ve seen how you look at each other. I mean, if you are, I can truly understand and I won’t bother Reina” Sayu bit her lower lips thinking of how to continue the conversation. Eri tilted her head, torn between confusion and amusement. She carefully scrutinised her best friend’s face.

“Sayu, do you like Reina? This is the first time I’ve seen you act this way.”

Sayu blushed and looked down. She admits that she had never felt that way towards anyone before. She felt Reina was special from the first time she laid her eyes on the petite girl.

“Reina and I, we live very near each other. That’s why we go to school together, which is why you see us together in the mornings. Reina did help me get over my feelings for Risa. I guess that’s how we got close. But Sayu, we are just friends. Despite being her Royal Grouchiness, Reina is a very nice person. You should confess to her if you really like her,” Eri grinned at Sayu, her encouragement earned her a bear hug, or should I say, rabbit hug from her best friend.

Sayu beamed, relieved by her best friend’s words. She decided that she would go after Reina, especially since Reina has warmed up to her from the date they had recently.

“Oh guess what, Aika has asked me to be her model! Finally someone recognises my cuteness,” Sayu bounced happily onto the couch.

Glad to see a contented Sayu leaning on her, Eri turned her attention back to watching the television. However, her mind could not concentrate on the story, too distracted by the thoughts on her housemate.

“Just friend, huh?”

~~~ :D~~~

Is it safe to assume that Linlin might have something to do with the possible future TakaGaki dilemma in this story? :lol: That would be pretty interesting to read, though. Risa and Linlin fighting for Aichan's attention. Hmmm...

Aika seems pretty set in getting Reina back! Gosh, I wonder what sort of trick she's got up her sleeve now that she and Reina are alone... O_O I have a feeling that things won't end quite well for her, but I do hope that she at least ends up with someone.

Can't wait for the next chapter. :thumbsup

oou yay~ update!!

I'm kinda confused tho... Does Aika want WANT Reina, or does she want Reina back as her best friend? I'm guessing (and kinda hoping) that its the second option.. But wow, goes to show how popular Reina is amoung the girls XD

So Reina and Eri might have feelings for each other *grins* (yay) but they probably haven't realised it yet? Oh no.. Sayu, poor Sayu! She'll be stuck in the middle! Maybe.. something might happen between Sayu and Aika soon, with the modeling thing and all.. pweeese don't make Sayu suffer that much with the whole Rokkie triangle ! (totally leaning towards TanaKame hooking up XD)

Since Aika calls Reina her princess, I'm pretty sure she feels something more than just good friends feelings for her. And Sayu likes Reina already. My gut tells me that Eri will fall for Reina sooner or later but she can't reveal her feelings cuz Sayu already staked her claim plus she assured Sayu she didn't like Reina that way. If she went back on her word she would be betraying her best friend.

As for the TakaGaki, I doubt Ai feels anything for Lin other than a little sis. I don't' know about Lin though. She could want to contest for Ai. Poor Risa :(

I love Airi in this. That annoying and big mouth lil sis but who is still do darn adorable :D

Sorry for the late reply. Been soo busy these past days.

I was laughing with Airi's antics. I wish I had a sister like that. but I have a question. Are they both blood related? Sorry for some nonsense question. I'm just curious if Airi is using Niigaki surname that's all.  :D . So Risa is having a thought that she can't do anything for Ai. Poor girl. But making Ai smile every time she see her is enough. Rich people might be ablest but for sure they are lack of something in some ways. Ai might have found that on Risa, yes?

A Chinese restaurant near Sayu's home. I wonder who might that be.  :D

I did have some funny thoughts on how Sayu looks like when she open the topic about Reina  XD XD. But poor Eri. She just thought of Reina as friends. But I guess she just sense that Reina is not ready for a relationship on her current state. Maybe that's the reason why she didn't felt special to Reina.

Please continue.  :twothumbs

OMG my updating speed really sucks! (Blame it on exams! And the fact I'm turning into KARAholic) But I'm pleasantly surprised to see a lot of spot on guesses (or is the story that obvious? :lol:)

@22 - Haha yeah let's see if their "best friend forever" can stand this test. Or maybe they'll both give up on Reina so that they won't fight? Hmm... :lol:
@Retro Bubble - Bingo! You scored some correct guesses, though I won't say which :D As the title suggest, at least one person will be alone (hmm that's too big of hint)
@rndm-chan - *blushing* Hehe thanks :oops: The emotes are actually hints to what's gonna happen in the future for Reina. All in good time my friend
@Stefy - Aika's feeling towards Reina? Erm not very sure myself (actually I am) :lol: But somewhere between love and friendship? Or maybe both? Argh now I'm confused XD But I'll try not to hurt Sayu...too much :twisted:
@Hammy - Another Bingo! I love Airi in here too.
@Baby Sticky - Good job! You got the camera hint *rewards the baby with a diaper*
@Treykun - Haha yeah Reina is happy...but not for long (since I'm a sadistic writer) :twisted:
@kRisZ - Er is the oxygen tank enough? Do you need CPR? XD
@Sancho - Yeah Airi and Risa are blood-related. I'm just too lazy to think up a name :lol: Wish I have a sister like that instead of a bratty brother. Anyone wanna swap? :P Yeah totally spot on analysis!
@Michi.Pinku - No don't die. Bad bad Sayu. Hmm that's because Eri is an angel :wub:
@CY - Can I call you CY? It's sounds cool that way XD Yeah Eri, just admit it already! Er what am I saying?


Chapter 11

Eri opened the door and quietly slipped into the lecture theatre. As luck would have it, she saw Reina sitting alone on the last row, her head resting on one hand and pretending to take notes to what the lecturer was saying. She stealthily sneaked her way to sit next to Reina. Reina grudgingly did a half turn at the interruption before facing the lecturer again; her head snapped towards Eri again when she realised it was the turtle sitting next to her.

“Good morning,” Eri greeted Reina with cheerful whisper. Reina just gaped at the newcomer, never failed to be amused by this girl’s antics.

“Eri?! What are you doing here?” Reina exclaimed in hush tones.

“I missed you, that’s why.” Eri’s words surprised Reina, not expecting Eri to say that to her, even if she knew Eri was just joking with her. The bell chose to ring at the right time, saving her from having to respond to Eri’s weird comment.

“All right your assignment for the week is to enhance the aesthetical value of the office without compromising its main functional needs. Deadline in a week time.” The lecturer ended the lesson not without adding another task on the to-do list, much to the groans by the students.

Eri was already doodling on Reina’s unused papers, drawing what looked like distorted rabbit, turtle and cat, or so Reina guessed, whilst Reina was distracted with the lecturer’s instruction.

“Oi what are you doing to my things? What’s that supposed to be anyway?” Reina snatched the “art pieces” from Eri and stuffed them into her bag.

“Say, are you doing anything after this? Let’s do Christmas shopping together!” Eri slung Reina’s bag over her shoulder and grab the younger girl’s hand.

“Uh…” Reina bit her lower lips trying to think of an excuse not to go. She’s not sure that she wants to celebrate Christmas. Rather there is no reason for her to celebrate the jolly festival. So there’s no reason for her to waste her time boosting capitalism when the assignment in her bag seems to be calling out for her.

“Do you have plans?” Eri faked a pout, trying to show her disappointment.

“No, but…”

“Great, come on. Let’s go.” Eri said, grinning happily.

~~~

“Airi!” The said girl quickly covered her head with her hands for fear of a hard knock coming from her sister.

Ai laughed at the playful banter between the two sisters. Deep inside, she couldn’t help but feel jealous for the close relationship Risa had with her sister and the rest of her family, something she had never the luxury of experiencing for herself despite having all the wealth lavished on her.
 
“Jeez Ai-san, I wonder how you can ever like a violent girl like my sister.” A smack on her shoulder brought a playful pout on Airi’s face.

“Trust me Airi. I have no idea myself,” Ai joined in the fun, earning herself a smack too. Irritated that her girlfriend is ganging up with her sister in teasing her, Risa frowned and crossed her arms across her chest, refusing to face them.

Knowing that her girlfriend is angry, Ai lovingly hugged Risa’s middle, her body pressed on the younger girl’s back, a warm feeling overcoming her despite the cold weather. “But now that I’m stuck on you, I’ll take them anytime.” Risa beamed at Ai’s words, light red hue creeping up her face.

“Eww, I’m still here, you know.” Airi pretended to gag. Her phone vibrated and Airi’s face lightened up while reading the text message.

“Got to go. Be careful Ai-san. Don’t let nee-san clean your wallet,” Airi stuck her tongue out at Risa before making a beeline for safety.

“Why that little runt…” Risa tried to go after Airi but since Ai was still holding her firmly, she had no choice but to let Airi live, for now. Ai chuckled at this side of Risa that she had never seen before.

“Ne Ai-chan, let’s go spy on her. I bet she’s on a date,” Risa suggested, a sly smile on her face as mischievous ideas running through her mind. “Let’s spy on her!”

“Forget the kid. You and me have more important adult matters to attend to,” Ai naughtily whispered to Risa.

“Not here Ai-chan.”

“Huh? I was talking about the shopping. What were you thinking of?” Ai could not help but tease her girlfriend, causing her girlfriend’s plump cheek to redden further. “But since you did mention that…”

~~~

After an afternoon of what Sayumi would call a successful modelling, the two girls sat at a nearby café, appreciating the warmth from the hot coffee.
 
“You’re good,” Sayu admired the photographs of herself, marvelling how Aika managed to take all her good sides. Not that it was hard since the self-confessed narcissist was confident of her looks. “So how did you did get into photography anyway?”

Aika sipped her iced coffee slowly. Her eyes had a faraway look as she went back to the past, an important piece of her memory, of her Reina. She smiled at the memory,


“Eh? How did you know?”

“Just shut up and take it okay? Hurry up and take picture of me. Oh and happy birthday.”

 

“My first camera...” Tenderness in her voice as Aika reminisced “was a present Reina gave me on my tenth birthday. She insisted on saving her all her allowance to buy me one even though she could have just asked her father. A very stubborn girl, she is. This is the first photo I took. See how cute she was even then?”

Sayu gazed at the photograph Aika withdrew from her wallet, giggling at the younger Reina in the image. It’s true, Reina does look happier in the photograph, her normally intense look was absent in the younger her.

“Haha Reina is really cute, isn’t she? Is she always this yankii?”

“Not really. She used to be much happier, always smiling and laughing. She was the princess of the school, you know. And she had this warm heart, always caring for others. I missed her smile. Her real smile.”

“Ano Mittsui-san, if you don’t mind me asking. What happened then?”

Aika stirred her coffee, contemplating her words, before answering, “An accident”

“Accident?”

“It’s a long story. I’m not sure if I should be the one telling you. Just that Reina lost someone important to her and went through tough times. So now, she blames herself for everything,” Aika paused, “For more than a year, she was suffering alone, refusing to cry even once. So how can this girl find any happiness? But I am now here with her. I won’t give up on Reina”

“What about your other friends?”

“Nope, never needed any. I have Reina, and she has me. We’re all we need.” Aika replied nonchalantly, sipping her now warm coffee slowly, not noticing the weird look from Sayu.

~~~

“Ai-chan! Stop playing around and help me zip up the dress”

“But you look so cute~”

“Ai-chan!”

“Ouch! Okay okay no need to be so violent.”

Ai stepped out of the dressing room rubbing her “injured” arm. So much for helping her girlfriend to try on the new dress. Okay so she did feel up Risa’s butt a little, but who could blame her when she has such a hot girl as her girlfriend.

“Whatcha grinning at, Ai-chan?”

Ai-chan let out a scream at Eri’s face near hers. She quickly pushed Eri away, her free hand clutching her traumatised chest.

“What’s wrong Ai-chan?” Risa joined her scowling girlfriend, acknowledging the guffawing Eri and Reina.

“It’s these two monkeys!” Ai replied indignantly. She hugged Risa, wanting the bean to console her.

“Who’s the monkey here?” Eri chortled. “Ah Gaki-san, I saw Airi with a tall girl just a while ago.”

“Really? How tall is she? How does she look like? Is she good-looking? Did she do anything to Airi?”

“Okay that’s enough. Let’s pay for these dresses.” Ai pulled Risa to the cashier before she passed out from hyperventilation.

Whilst paying for the purchases, Ai felt her phone vibrated. She frowned, reading the content of the text message.

~~~

Sayu followed Aika into the lift, all the while trying to calm her heart from exploding from the nervousness she was feeling. She rubbed her clammy hands together before slipping them into her pockets.

‘It’s no big deal, it’s just Reina’s house’ she kept chanting in her mind, taking great care not to show her nervousness to Aika. She’s just here to see Aika’s photographs (especially the ones with Reina). Of course, her main motive is to see Reina in her home environment, or better still a chance to get closer to the yankii girl.

“We’re here,” Aika smiled, wondering why Sayu looked so pale. She opened the door and saw…

Reina lying on top of Eri…

~~~

Eri threw her mobile phone on her bed after the gazillion times she failed to call Sayu.

She recalled Sayu’s shocked face when she entered the house and saw Reina on top of her. Politely excusing herself, Sayu left immediately, still smiling to Aika when she left. Knowing Sayu as long as she had, Eri saw her best friend’s crestfallen face behind that smile.

Hearing a chime from her mobile phone, Eri quickly jumped on her bed to retrieve the inanimate object. She took a deep breath, gearing herself for what was to be read…

‘WE need to talk’

Oh boy, is she in trouble or what.

~~~  :twisted: ~~~

Hmm someone’s birthday is coming next week :w00t:

Eri was already doodling on Reina’s unused papers, drawing what looked like distorted rabbit, turtle and cat, or so Reina guessed, whilst Reina was distracted with the lecturer’s instruction.
