FaqU's one-shots- Trust You - 10/13

[rndmnwierd]

So cute!

[lil_hamz]

Isn't Ai the only one in MM who can cook decently? Besides JJ. So it should be her but I'm gonna guess Tanakamei or TanaShige. More Eri cuz of the line about her being late again.

Awww, Eri's (?) so sweet. Preparing such a big breakfast and rushing all the way to bring it to Reina. Where can I get an Eri too?

[FaqU]

@ Chloe: I'll tell inspiration to drop by your place    Honest response is that I didn't plan on doing another one but then you have that hopeful look, how could I resist, so I went back to the thinking board and thought of how to make it a series of one-shots, so the answer is yes there will be more.

I didn't reveal the girl because I thought it was obvious (not because of revenge, although thinking about it now.... ) If it isn't clear, it will be soon enough.

I  when you eliminated Sayu because of the running bit.

@ cogi_yoshi: Do I have that kind of rep in your mind now??? When I do a one-shot, it usually becomes a series of one-shots??? I'm not too sure if that's a good thing    Like I was telling Chloe, I didn't plan on a series but then again I do see prospects on how I can make it a series, so be on the look out for it. 

Ahhh the pairings, I used Reina as the opposing party this time but...you'll see if it is TanaGaki  Everything will seem clear after the...um....3rd?? or maybe 4th part??? 

@ baddie: Hope you don't mind I call you that  Ohhh definitely a good way to spice up your relationship, I would think anyone would swoon after knowing someone made breakfast and lunch for you.

@ aussie: Does it really??? I wonder what the next part will scream???

@ rndmnwierd: Is there a preferable nick you like being called??  Glad you think it's cute

@ Mame-chan: Although Ai may be the one that cooks decently (I would think Risa cooks just as well) besides JJ, I'm going to ignore that fact.

I think the answer will seem more clearer who it is in the next part. 

Awwww you want an Eri too???....Hold on, do you want a person that would prepare a big breakfast and would rush all the way to bring it to you or did you just want Eri 

You know inspiration is a funny thing, some days they come, some days they don't.  Sometimes they come very slowly and sometimes they come very quicky, sometimes they go very quickly and sometimes they like to linger.  It seems like one of those days where inspiration came and went quickly but stayed long enough for me to do the next part.  So let the guessing and confusion begin....

Target #2

I woke up at an earlier than usual time because I had to prepare, prepare for my target to get caught by the contents of my bag.  I’ve worked on this plan for awhile now and today was a special day so what better chance to get them than when they least expect it right?

I casually rode the train checking my watch to make sure I had enough time, lucky for me I’ve always had a habit of arriving half an hour earlier so getting up earlier wasn’t difficult.  While sitting on the train I took a moment to check my bag for my equipment in discreet.  Fumbling through and carefully shifting the objects inside, I double-checked and even triple-checked before I was fully satisfied.

I climbed of the train at my stop and was happily taking the taxi to my destination, confident that I’ll succeed my mission when a thought popped up in my head ‘Where was I going to set up? It has to be discreet so it can’t be in the open, so the usual place where my target should be isn’t a good place’ The target usually is surrounded early in the morning “USO” I cried out shocking the taxi driver, in which I apologized for my outburst but my mind was running all over the place.  Darn it! I had thought I had planned everything in which I did in terms of ammunition but I didn’t plan anything in terms of location.  I slapped myself on the forehead in which I caught the taxi driver looking at me strangely through the rear-view mirror.

Taking out a schedule I scanned probabilities where I should and could set up for the attack before my next appointment in the day.  I quickly made a decision to use one of the rooms as my headquarters as I got off the taxi and looked up at the white building in front of me, covered with glass windows.  The only question is which room? I needed a room that will make this all work out yet I can’t really choose any room I mean how can I set up if someone’s already using it?  Wouldn’t that cause suspicion? Like hell yeah it will! That’ll also make me look like a total idiot.

Walking into the building and crossing the lobby, I scanned the area thinking again.  Aimlessly I walked into an empty elevator and the answer struck me right in front of my face.  I pressed the button for the 21st floor, grinning now because I have a direction.  As soon as I got off the elevator I searched the rooms along the corridor where the target will walk by later, looking for an empty room.

I almost cried out when I finally found one, luckily my hand was quick in covering my mouth, suppressing my joy.  I quickly got in and locked the door behind me, making sure that no one barges in unexpectedly.  I had to tip toe around the room to set up, and didn’t finish organizing and reorganizing until I was fully satisfied.

Now came the agonizing part, waiting!!! Every time there were sounds outside of people walking by, I would press my ear against the door to try to figure out if it was my target.  Every ‘ping’ from the elevator I would unlock the door to take a quick peek of the people arriving.  Granted I was overly happy at how I was going to succeed, confident really and determined to make my plan succeed.

An hour came and went and still no sign of my target, I kept on checking my watch and it was almost time for me to leave the room to my next appointment. ‘This can’t be happening!! Not when I’m not ready to fail the mission!!! Not when I’ve planned this all!!!! Not when I’ve worked so hard to set up!!!’ As much as I was yelling inside my mind, the target did not arrive as I had to pack up my setting, dejectedly.

I felt like as if there was a chibi-devil on my right shoulder telling me that its serves me right for being overly confident.  I should have calculated a failure into the plan so I wouldn’t have to feel so gloomy now.  I wiped my right shoulder, flinging this chibi-devil away from me. ‘It’s alright, there will be another chance’ would be what my chibi-angel would say as I huffed and sighed one last time before exiting the room

I walked into the room of my next appointment, greeted the others and sulked in my chair. “Gaki-san” I looked up to see Sayumin moving towards me “So how did it go?” I didn’t respond, I just hung my head low “You failed??? How can that be?? Never would I have thought you’d fail”

The door opened again and without lifting my head, I felt Sayumin leaving my side.  Not long after , she came back and plopped herself down on the chair “How is that possible?” was what she kept on whispering

One by one more people filed in except my target.  I started to panic ‘What if she’s sick? Or maybe something happened to her?’ Not long after those thoughts popped up, my target rushed in bowing and apologizing for being later.  She walked by most people and sat down beside me

“Where were you this morning?” she whispered ‘The exact same thing I wanted to ask you’ “I waited for you at our usual spot and because of you, I’m late” ‘Chotto matte!!!! She usually doesn’t wait long and would come to this room, book in hand after a few minutes of waiting!! Why did she change her plans today?’ I imagined my chibi-devil and chibi-angel whacking my target across the head “Happy birthday” she whispered before passing me a neatly wrapped present underneath the table.  Now how is a girl suppose to be upset for long when they receive a gift from their girlfriend?! A smile formed on my face.

I looked up at my companion, our eyes meeting, she turned her head slightly and put her fingers up in an ‘X’.  We both failed our missions now I understand why I have a dejected Sayumin beside me.

Our plans failed, we lost the fight but we can always turn things around and win the war right? So we’ll try again… maybe tomorrow?

[badsaints]

This is a different story from the first one right? If so, me guess the pairing is TakaGaki this time

“USO”

A dead giveaway on who the speaker is

She usually doesn’t wait long and would come to this room, book in hand after a few minutes of waiting!!

Ai-chan right?

I imagined my chibi-devil and chibi-angel whacking my target across the head “Happy birthday”

I can actually visualise this anime-style

@ baddie: Hope you don't mind I call you that 

Haha sure since Rndm-chan is also calling me same Heck, a certain someone even nick me "the evil person" lol

[pretend_2besome1]

Thanks, definitely need inspiration to come 

but then you have that hopeful look, how could I resist

LOL my bad, sorry. Didn’t mean to push you.

I thought it was obvious (not because of revenge, although thinking about it now....  )

I felt like I just dig my own grave, my bad again
After reading your fics, I can't be too sure if the girl is Eri, you could do a surprise twist and then the girl turns out as someone else.

Seeing Sayu’s really bad with the physical thing in HM, the running would be too much and not mention the girl had to bring a heavy breakfast and lunch with her, definitely not Sayu 

This girl in this chapter must be Gaki ---> the thing with time and ‘USO’.

“Gaki-san”

Yay! I was right 

I like how you keep mentioning the main character’s object of affection (or girlfriend?) in every chapter as their ‘target’.

I imagined my chibi-devil and chibi-angel whacking my target across the head

That's one cute image 

This chapter pairing, TakaGaki?

If this series of Target is like what I think, then maybe we’ll see the next chapter with Sayu and her target? (I’m thinking her target will be Jun since you seemed to have a thing with JunSayu pair).

You know inspiration is a funny thing, some days they come, some days they don't.  Sometimes they come very slowly and sometimes they come very quicky, sometimes they go very quickly and sometimes they like to linger.  It seems like one of those days where inspiration came and went quickly but stayed long enough for me to do the next part.

Then may inspirtation never leaves your side 

[rndmnwierd]

The clash of good intentions.

Is there a preferable nick you like being called??

rndm, rndy, Her Awesome Holiness. You know the usual.

[FaqU]

@ baddie: Absolutely correct, this one is different from the first one  Maru maru, absolutely correct on this pairing!!! *throws confetti and pats you on the back* 

@ Chloe: Awww don't worry about pushing me, I'm happy when readers enjoy what I write and how could I resist a hopeful look???

Hmmm....giving me more ideas??? now you dug you're own grave 

@ Her Awesome Holiness: definitely a clash of good intentions that made the plan a failed one but how could anyone be upset when you found out the other's intentions??  Also I had to make it a failure otherwise where would the fun be???

Target #3

I stood outside perched and ready to pounce, I didn’t need anything with me, I just needed to be focused and ready.  That’s what kept repeating itself in my mind, it kept me pumped and it was trying to keep me from worrying too much.  Why am I like this anyways??? I am the predator hunting my prey, so can anyone tell me why it is me that is feeling scared???

I thought about this move long and hard, thinking of where, when and how I was to reach my goal but I was never good at this kinda stuff.  Yeah I am known to be level-headed but that doesn’t mean that I can plan anything, usually others plan for me!!!!

Hiding behind this corner, I soon went into a coldsweat, I couldn’t do this, I can’t do this, I did the next best thing, I ran from where I was suppose to be, ran as fast as my legs will carry me up the stairs to the roof. “AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!! WHY CAN’T I DO THIS??? WHAT IS STOPPING ME????” I took deep breaths, in and out, in and out until I was calm once more.  You can’t blame me, it’s the first time I had to do something like this or even encountered this so of course I am going to feel uneasy.

I thought back to last night when I was planning and preparing, I chuckled at the many different ways that came up and started preparing just to scratch them out and put things back.  It was like that for a good couple of hours, I would think of an idea, agree with it and start packing and preparing then I would rethink and come to conclusion that it wasn’t a good idea, so I had to unpack everything.  Because of this planning process I was practically up all night, also the fact that I was determined that I had to do this today I barely caught an ZZZ at all.

Even when I left my house this morning I was uneasy about the method I chose, ‘why??’ I smacked my self over the forehead a couple of times ‘Why can’t I decide one something?? Why can’t I just go through with this? Why can’t life be easier on me?’ I wanted to shout, I wanted to cry, I wanted to kill whoever talked me into this, I wanted…I wanted to do this.

I decided once again to go back to my hiding place, I checked my watch to make sure my target has not arrived yet because once they do, they would be harder to track down in this white building covered with glass windows.

I galloped back down the stairs I came up from and boy was I tired, why didn’t I take the elevator again?? Another mental kick to my behind, I walked through the doors to whichever floor I was on and pressed the down button on the elevator.  As I was waiting though I imagined where I was to be and where my target was to be and thought that my hiding spot was actually a lousy one, I can totally be seen from where I was standing.

I got into the elevator and pressed the button for the lobby, all this exercise physically and mentally was taking a toll on me and it didn’t help that I didn’t get much sleep last night either.  I decided to find a vending machine or a café to buy coffee, I needed to be awake for this mission.

As I was buying my coffee from a nearby café, I saw the desserts that were on display and immediately my mind went down memory lane.  I may not have detested my target right from the start but I wasn’t fond of them either.  There were many differences but who knew that it’ll come to this situation today???

By the time I had snapped out of my phasing out, I had already polished my coffee and wasted half and hour.  Dang it!!! I can only pray that my target was not around just yet, I would be able to know because my target would never walk around the establishment without an escort in the morning, and this escort wasn’t in the forte of making themselves hidden either.

I had to think of a new plan and time was running out, I looked left, right, up and down for a clue of what I should do at this stage but none came.  From afar I could hear them entering, crap my time has run out.  I didn’t know what to do so I did the only thing I could think of, I followed them from a distance, I hid behind pillars, crouched down behind couches, weaved in and out using people as my shield.  I know I was looking ridiculous and I know those people would talk about my behaviour but I didn’t want to lose sight of my target.

Since the target is in the establishment, it was harder to tell where they were going to go and what they were going to do, they were unpredictable when they got in.  Outside it was easier to tell and easier to figure out if you watched them closely but inside, it was a total different ball game.

I saw my chance when the escort left to go to the bathroom as I weaved past another pillar.  I watched my target go in one direction so I ran in another trying head them off, I just hope my judgment on where my target was heading was correct, chances are I wasn’t going to be but I have to try.  I waited around a corner for my target to appear, but they never showed ‘Crap!!! I was wrong!!! Okay think, think, where would they be???’

A thought struck me as I retraced my steps and went into a completely new direction, I was running against time so I had to move as fast as I could to relocate my target.  I zig-zagged past halls searching and was losing faith by the minute.  I continued running though as I turned a corner, just to backtrack myself. ‘Whew!!! That was so close, I was almost caught’

When I turned the corner, my target was up ahead walking towards my direction, playing with their phone while walking, fortunately for me, I was stealthy enough that it took me less than a second to go back behind that corner.  I peeked back to make sure my target was still on the same path as I searched around for a plan ‘A plan, a plan I really need a plan’

I saw a door so I went in, leaving a crack for me to see my target walk by.  My blood was pumping, my adrenaline rushing, I was going to do this, I am determined to do this, I am going to stop all the nonsense that has been occurring over the past few weeks.  My target turned the corner and was  walking closer and closer.

I took this chance and caught them off-guard!!! As my target was walking by, I opened the door and grabbed their wrist, dragging them into the room before closing it and locking it, in case they were going to escape.

My target was startled and gave a yelp but when they realized who it was, their yelp died down and they looked at me…with a smile “Aika-chan you gave me a heart attack”

The bad thing about this situation is that I never really practiced how I was going to portray my words so my words were really blunt “Stop playing these games” I said in a low voice

“Aika-chan? What’s wrong? Are you feeling okay?” she was walking closer but with every step she came closer, I stepped back

“Stop playing these games, I don’t want to play no more” I demanded in a more audible voice, my head was hung low because I didn’t know what I was looking at but I just felt that I couldn’t look at her.

Unexpectedly I felt arms wrapped around my small body, her hand was stroking my back “Who said anything about games??? Daisuki”  Upon hearing those words, I smiled in their embrace and returned the hug, tears of joy were brimming in my eyes as I let them flow down my cheeks and onto her clothing.  I guess she could feel the tears seeping through because she automatically patted my head “I never took it as a game, I thought you knew what my feelings for you were already.  I’m sorry if you felt that I was playing, forgive me?”

The sincerity in her words made me bawl like a little girl, I nodded in her embrace and remained in that position until I had finished crying.  We were beaming as we went up the elevator to the 21st floor where our meeting was held, hand in hand.  We entered the room first before my senpais slowly walked in.

One of them looked upset and didn’t look they want to be bothered ‘Maybe she’s sick?’ “Mittsi?” I looked up at the owner of the voice, Michishige-senpai and with her eyes I can tell she was asking me how things went.  I beamed like no tomorrow and then put an okay sign against my cheek while my target was busy conversing with others.   

Michishige-san smiled at me before she went off to her mini group and she wasn’t too pleased it seems when she was talking to her mini group which I thought was weird but I’ll figure it out later…maybe tomorrow?

[pretend_2besome1]

Hmmm....giving me more ideas??? now you dug you're own grave

I know, right? 

ready to pounce
I am the predator hunting my prey, so can anyone tell me why it is me that is feeling scared???

that was

I wanted to kill whoever talked me into this

Brutal

my target would never walk around the establishment without an escort in the morning, and this escort wasn’t in the forte of making themselves hidden either.

I wonder who the escort is 

I like that the elevator keeps showing up, it's a funny but great setting.

[rndmnwierd]

AikaJun? Hmm, seems like you're planning ahead on this, so I definitely look forward to more morning fluff.



Sorry, my comment's not that great, but I'm barely awake right now. Urgh, I'm getting too old to stay up for so long.

[badsaints]

Oh I get it!

Story 1, 2 & 3 happen in the same frame of time right? Right before their meeting on the 21st floor

This time it's Aika who was "hunting" Jun(???) as her target

[cogi_yoshi]

OOoohhh..so that's how it is... it's a different pairing in those 3 chapters..and I bet...the 4th chapter will be more on the 3rd person point of view because they're on a meeting or something...

so you 'changed' your TanaGaki into... TanaKamei..because of the 'late' clue.. and then on the second part... you made it into TakaGaki because of the 'book' clue... and on the third...

I’m sorry if you felt that I was playing, forgive me?”

Michishige-san smiled at me before she went off to her mini group and she wasn’t too pleased it seems when she was talking to her mini group which I thought was weird but I’ll figure it out later…maybe tomorrow?

hmm..if it's AikaJun..then ... it's somewhat also a SayuJun...I'm just guessing...ahahaha

[lil_hamz]

I juz want Eri

Ok pairing number 1 I can learn to accept. Pairing number 2 I support wholeheartedly and pairing number 3 caused by jaw to hit the floor! Either way it will be somewhat 'fresh' so I can't wait to see how you play around with them *excited*

you are keeping good time juggling two fics at the same time. It's definitely lucky for us readers but don't wear yourself out ok? *pats*

[FaqU]

@ Chloe: the escort is..........well i'm sure you know who now considering you know the pairing, there can be really one person that can play the escort role.

What's funny was that I never realized the setting created with the elevator  

@ Her Awesome Holiness: I plan to write more one-shots that's for sure and hopefully I keep within doing these mini series as opposed to just one-shots.

You are talking about old??? Hun, if you are old then that makes me ancient!!!! Yabai!!!!

@ baddie: Maru maru, it is indeed 3 different stories occuring at the same time.

@ cogi_yoshi: It was Tanakamei to begin with...'sleeping in'...'late again' there were minor hints as to who it was that was targetting Reina.  Gaki-san would never be late, she'll like a human clock to the members, especially Reina.

It could be a SayuJun but recall Sayu called out to Aika so it couldn't have been SayuJun.

@ Mame-chan: I figured you just wanted an Eri  

Why did pairing 3 cause your jaw to hit the floor??? Unfortunately this series has come to an end so no more playing with these pairings, not until I think of a new idea for one-shots.  

It's a pleasure to be satisfy ze readers no??? I'll try not to wear myself out (especially since work has become hectic as of late and school doesn't help either) but it's a good challenge to myself to juggle everything and it makes my hyper when I get an idea for a new fic or one-shot.   Thank you for your concern though 

Target #4

My partner/companion and I were on the rooftop, we weren’t pleased at the outcomes we’ve had at all, more like it was depressing to know we both failed in our mission.  “How could we possibly fail??? Everything was planned wasn’t it???”

“I…er…I overslept” Go figure, on such a day, only my partner would oversleep, I smacked my forehead “What about you?”

“Total miscalculation, the target changed directions on me” She slapped her own forehead

“It’s funny though, only one of us succeeded in all of this, and they weren’t there for the planning meeting at all” I placed my hand on my chin in deep thought

“They succeeded??” I almost wanted to smack her, how can you possibly not tell a success, the girl was beaming like crazy!!!!

“What you can’t see it??? Look at their faces!!!!! Look at their actions!!!!” My partner hung her head low “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to lash out at you, I’m just not feeling well”

My partner placed her hand on my shoulder “What did she do differently from us??? I thought we had everything planned out, it sounded like a success for us last night”

“I don’t know but I do see a connection”

“What connection?”

“She didn’t have an advisor”

We both stood there thinking of the events that happened the night before

Flashback – The day before

“What are we going to do??? And why are you here?” I asked the 4th person in the room

“I’m here to help you plan!” They smiled at me whereas I was sceptical

“She gave me an idea, so why don’t you listen first” my partner informed me.  I didn’t have a clue as to what I wanted to do and how I was going to achieve my goal so I shrugged and listened in

“What you guys need is a surprise, create a surprise, make them crumble” Those ideas don’t sound so bad.

“What kind of a surprise???” my partner asked eagerly, it appears she agrees with our advisor as well

“That’s up to your own personal preference but you’ll also have to plan what to set up, what equipment you need, what they won’t expect” The way the advisor was talking it sound creepy and looked creepy when she was hovering over us using her hands to gesture it out as if it was mystical

“That’s so stupid” our other partner stood up and hollered “Why can’t it be more direct??? Yes it loses some of the effect but I think overall a direct hit would work the same.  I’m getting out of here” She stood up and left the meeting room.

“Don’t worry about her, she’ll regret when you guys succeed and she fails” the advisor waved off the comments that were made “Your birthday is tomorrow so why not do a switch around?” the advisor asked ‘That is a good idea!!! They’ll be more surprised because it’s not the normal way’

“I could do that, I mean I know where my target will be and what they’re next action would be so I can improvise” it was decided that is the route I will be taking

“I think I get what you’re getting at now, I’m going to get ready” my partner stood up with a wide grin, it seems like she has a plan of her own, before she left

I thanked the advisor and escorted them out before I start my own preparations

End of Flashback

“I think Mittsi was right, why didn’t we attack head on, that would have been easier for us” Eri commented “I mean I was late, but when Reina found out about what I had prepared, she was just as happy”

“Which means that the reason why we failed was because we listened to some dumb bunny’s advice” I glared at Eri

“Gaki-san, when Sayu first mentioned it, she was very convincing” Eri backed up from me, but then her face lit up “Why don’t we ambush them together head on?”

I thought about it, and thought some more when an idea struck me “I’ve got it” I went up to Eri and whispered in her ear my plans

The Next Day

“Takahashi-san!!! Takahashi-san!!!!” Mittsi called out to her leader

“Mittsi, what’s wrong??? You look pale”

“Ni-Ni-Niigaki-san fainted” Mittsi huffed out, bent over, hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath

Ai grabbed a hold of Aika’s shoulder and pulled her up “What happened??? Where is she???”

“Niigaki-san and Kamei-san were practicing and I guess they overdid it so they both fainted” Colour was drained off of Ai’s face as she was dumbstruck

“T-t-take me to her” Ai turned Aika around and ran along her to find Risa
**********************
“Tanaka-san, Tanaka-san” the Chinese banana-loving 8th gen ran up to her senpai

“Yo! JunJun” Reina put her hand against her forehead to greet her fellow member

“Kamei-san….Kamei-san” JunJun was fumbling with her words, unsure as to how she was to phrase herself

“Yes?? What about Eri” Reina knew that sometimes it took the Chinese kouhais a little time to think of the words so she waited patiently

“Fall down…Kamei-san fainted….Fainted!!!!” JunJun finally fished out the exact words she needed

Reina’s eyes popped out “What??? What are you talking about?? Where did this happen??? Where is she now???”

“Niigaki-san and Kamei-san fainted in dance lesson room” JunJun grabbed Reina’s arm and ran, she couldn’t waste anymore time trying to explain, it was better she dragged her senpai to where Eri was resting
******************************
As Ai and Aika were arriving, on the opposite end of the corridor JunJun dragging Reina could be seen

“Mittsi!! What is going on??? JunJun didn’t finish explaining” Reina hollered at Aika as the four gathered together

“Niigaki-san and Kamei-san were practicing and they didn’t look that well to begin with, like they were really, really tired.  We asked them if they were alright but they brushed us off saying that they had things to do so they had to finish practicing quickly.  As they were practicing, they collapsed”

“So where is Risa/Eri now?” Ai and Reina shouted at the same time

Aika took Ai’s arm to guide her to where Risa would be resting and JunJun took Reina’s arm to where Eri was resting “In there” they responded at the same time.

Ai stepped into the room, there were no lights on so she tried to search for the light switch “Risa?” Ai quietly called out in case Risa was still sleeping.  The only source of light was coming from the open door, Ai was about to call out to Aika to grab a flashlight when something grabbed her from behind, covering her mouth.  The door was closed, Ai was frightened because she didn’t know who this person was ‘Oh my god, where is my Risa??? Who is this??? Is there an intruder in the building??’

Ai wanted to scream but her scream was muffled, she felt something brush by her lips. ‘Wait a minute, what the hell was that? What is covering my mouth?’ Again she felt something brush by her lips and even slip into her mouth.  It dawned on Ai when she realized those were lips that were pressed against her own.  “Happy anniversary” the person whispered when they pulled apart

“Risa?” Risa produced a pocket flashlight and Ai could clearly see her grinning “I thought you fainted”

“I wanted to give you an early surprise for our anniversary” she responded before giving Ai another peck on the lips “So I got Aika to get you here” Risa found the light switch and turned it on, to Ai’s amazement, there was a mini cake on a table with the words ‘Happy anniversary’ on it.  

Ai smiled at the grinning Risa, she was surprised at the surprise but then she frowned slightly “Don’t scare me like that”

“I wanted to surprise you yesterday but you ruined the plan by waiting longer than you usually do, so I had to devise a new plan.” Risa lit up the candles on the cake, standing side by side Ai “Ready?” They both blew the candles out.

Ai hugged Risa and kissed her passionately on the lips “I am surprised, happy anniversary Risa”

When they both walked out hand in hand, they saw a grinning Aika in JunJun’s arms talking about random things but no Reina or Eri in sight.  “When did Aika and JunJun hook up?” Ai asked in a low whisper to Risa

“Just yesterday” Risa responded in the same low tone “How come it is taking Eri so long?”

“Er…Risa, is Eri doing the same to Reina?” Risa, Aika and JunJun all nodded

Realization hit both Ai and Risa as they barged up to the room Reina and Eri were in and started banging on the door “OI!!!! We are still at work, save that for when you are at home!!!!”

[rndmnwierd]

Ah, finally an explanation behind everything. So cute couples.

Realization hit both Ai and Risa as they barged up to the room Reina and Eri were in and started banging on the door “OI!!!! We are still at work, save that for when you are at home!!!!”

I plan to write more one-shots that's for sure and hopefully I keep within doing these mini series as opposed to just one-shots.

Yay, wantz moar!

You are talking about old??? Hun, if you are old then that makes me ancient!!!! Yabai!!!!

Haha, lol, I meant to say I'm not as young as I used to be, but I was tired. Way back when, I used to stay up for a week with only a few hours of sleep a day to keep me going like crazy. Unfortunately, my sedentary lifestyle is taking it's toll.

[pretend_2besome1]

The escort is Linlin?

What's funny was that I never realized the setting created with the elevator 

I thought you did it on purpose

You know I wasn’t counting on #3 will turn out as AikaJun, I thought Sayu would get her part as the next main chara with her target. There’s no love for the bunny then? Well, at least she got to play as the advisor (and fail ).

And I'll live with assuming at least Eri somewhat succeeded with Reina like Gaki did with Ai *goes back to reread #1*

@ Her Awesome Holiness: First off, I actually have thought about my next series as it is, I'm just working with smaller details in my mind as to how to make it all link in one way or another so there will be another one coming up 

Ahhh yes, I, myself remember those days when I would stay up all week with little sleep...what am I talking about?? I still don't sleep much as of now  But it's only because of my job that I just don't have that kind of time to sleep anymore...nor eat for that matter 

But I think it's a good thing, because it means more time to think about writing no?   

@ Chloe: Maru maru!!!! Absolutely correct

Nope I didn't do it on purpose, it just kept on popping up for some reason 

Er...here's the thing, I know I said it will be a 4 parter thing but actually it came out to be a 5 parter thing... so without adieu....chotto just out of curiousity did inspiration stop by your place yet?

I think I found one of my sources of inspiration...apparently after you mentioned how you got into the whole H!P thing (C-ute), inspiration stopped by and I have a new mini-series coming up 

Target #5

I got up the usual time as I knew the person would be up soon and I had to get to them before they started their day.  It has become a habit I have since and it’s a great habit when it comes to collecting data, like the saying goes “to defeat your enemy, you must know your enemy inside and out” and that is exactly what I have been doing. 

The person in question is a very spontaneous person, I haven’t seen a pattern in their life styles as of yet which is why I am up so early in the morning.  I looked at the clock as I was getting dressed ‘Crap, I am off schedule today’ I quickly finished putting on my makeup and ran out the door, trying to put on my other shoe as I started hopping towards my destination.

It tends to get hard to track them down because it’s like they don’t have a set schedule in life, or anything in particular that they must do.  Just last night, I expected them to go straight home but apparently they were meeting their accomplices in another town.  It took quite a lot from me to be staying awake since I’ve had a busy day myself but I managed to follow and observe only till they reached a certain house, in which ended my observation because I couldn’t see what was going on inside. 

I was determined and stubborn too, I didn’t want to give up just yet for the day as I waited outside for god knows how long until I saw one run out of the house and it seemed like they were frustrated.  Not long after, another left but they seem to be thinking very deeply about something that made them happy.  The way they were smiling was undeniably something of a joyous occasion, I shook my head ‘Keep you mind on your target, you could’ve lost them’ I scolded myself.  I have a habit of getting bored quite quickly as well I also tend to have a short attention span so once I focus on something else, I might be at it for a while before I remember what I was doing.

The door opened a third time and I knew it was my target as I got ready to follow them once again.  The target seems to be in a good mood as well which got me wondering what the hell happened inside but sometimes I wonder if I really want to know.  When the target gets together with one of their accomplices, they tend to be very scary and crazy with their ideas and actions. 

The target was walking in the direction of their home, which means that my mission for the day is almost over and I can mark what I observed down…however as I was getting all excited that my day was over, the target stopped in their tracks.  I hid myself quickly but was still able to see what my target was doing, I saw them just stand there for a few minutes before they started walking again.  I was afraid that I would be caught so I left a little more distance between us before I continued to follow.  I didn’t leave until finally my mission was done and the target was in their house.

The next day

I got up at my usual time as always and prepared myself for another day of trailing as I stood outside their residence.  I waited patiently knowing perfectly well that I still had a few minutes before the door would open, producing my target.  As I was waiting though, my thoughts about yesterday reappeared in my mind, why was one frustrated, one looking like they were on cloud nine and my target looking just giddy???  Before I could even start taking apart the mystery, the door opened and my target came out skipping their way to their destination.

I followed closely and watched as they went into a white building with glass windows across.  I took note of the target’s mood, it was extremely happy, the happiest I’ve seen so far and then my mind wanders to why.  I was spaced out a bit and I knew that I was because by the time I was snapped back to reality, my target was no where in sight, however I did take notice of one of their accomplice running around, weaving in and out, around people and pillars. 

My curiosity is going to kill me one day I know it but I just couldn’t help it as I started weaving in and out, around people and pillars following the accomplice.  The accomplice was quick with their movements and I wonder why they were acting this way to begin with, what happened last night to cause them to be like this today, it was totally not their character to be acting this way.  I saw them round a corner, so I was about to catch up when suddenly they came back, in which I dodged into the closest room.  I put a hand to my chest catching my breath at almost getting caught before I opened the door a slight crack, just to find the accomplice amiss.  I saw someone else turn the corner but in a blink of an eye, that person disappeared. 

I got out of the room that I was in and headed towards where the disappearance was, tippy toeing my way there in case anyone hears me.  I looked around the corner but no one and I stood there baffled and dumbfounded as to how 2 people can disappear just like that.

I stood there not knowing which way to head when I thought I heard voices, they were very low and I wouldn’t have heard them but I was holding my breath.  I pressed my ears against a door and could hear slight parts of their conversation.  I grinned and I knew exactly what I needed to do.

Walking into a meeting, I was set on putting my plan in action however coming out I wasn’t so sure anymore.  The target was in deep thought and it bothered me not knowing what they were up to, I just know that they kept on repeating the same words over and over “I don’t get it….I just don’t get it”  I watched carefully from afar checking where the accomplices could be but they seemed to have vanished elsewhere, at least 2 of them did, the other one seemed to be beaming like crazy.

The target was walking aimlessly as if in some sort of trance, repeating over and over the same words.  I could hear different variations such as “How did they succeed???” or “How could we fail?” and even “Where did we go wrong?”  As I was following them, I racked my brain to puzzle everything together but it seemed like nothing was making sense. ‘Who succeeded??? Who is we and how did they fail??? Where did what go wrong???’ My mind was going like a mile a minute recalling everything regarding the target and their accomplice like my head was about to explode. ‘This is too much, screw this, I am going to finish this once and for all’

While the target was walking around in the building I decided it was the best location to set up my attack.  I ran backwards and rounded different corners, estimating and calculating the direction my target would be heading into.  I hid behind one corner to make sure I was correct, in which I was mentally patting myself when I saw them coming around.  I quickly made use of the information I have learned as I waited in the stairway.

I waited for them to walk by before I pounced out of the stairway and put my hand over their mouths.  I pulled them into a room and I could clearly hear them trying frantically to scream out and trying to struggle free, unfortunately for them, I overpowered them.  I pulled them into a dark room and pushed them against the wall.  “I love you” I whispered in a husky voice, or at least attempted husky voice before I replaced my hand with my lips.

When I pulled away, the target hugged onto me very tightly “I thought you forgot.  What took you so long?”

[pretend_2besome1]

I just don't have that kind of time to sleep anymore...nor eat for that matter

don't overwork yourself author-san!

No complain, 5 is good for me.

chotto just out of curiousity did inspiration stop by your place yet?

Are we talking about the sequel? I got about half of it written. Some parts still don't feel right and I'm slow (how can you write so fast?? T_T)
And since inspiration kinda breezed in...maybe, I'll come out with a very short one-shot first, maybe...

I think I found one of my sources of inspiration...apparently after you mentioned how you got into the whole H!P thing (C-ute), inspiration stopped by and I have a new mini-series coming up

  
What? Really?
Will it be kids mini-series? If it is then bring it on!

I started hopping towards my destination.

Hopping? Bunny?

Oh, this one is stalkerish

TanaKame, TakaGaki, AikaJun, so this is.....SayuLin?

[rndmnwierd]

KohaSayu?

[FaqU]

So far the guesses are SayuLin, and KohaSayu hmmmmm very interesting....

I am so going to leave that up in the air for now... I am more focused on this (these) one-shot(s), tell me what you guys think

With You

Part 1: With you, I’ll always be

Standing here on the rooftop I gaze over the scenery before me, the sun was just setting so everything in view had been painted an orangish red.  From where I stood I was looking directly at the horizon where the sun was closest to the grounds.  It was soothing standing here because it was here where I can have the peace I needed to think of you.  Memories of you started coming back to me of how we started as strangers, to us fighting, to how you left us all behind.

Flashback #1

“What?!” I shouted in shock “really she’s just going to leave us?”

“Yes unfortunately Megu has given up on this dream but she will pray for our own major debut, or at least that’s what she said” Umeda Erika, an one-san figure within the group had just informed me.  Umeda-san was the oldest in the group but because she felt like she wasn’t ready to take on the position, the task was passed down to the next eldest member.

I was devastated because I felt I really clicked with Megumi, yeah she gets upset easily but it was only because Chisa-chan and Maimai wasn’t giving her a break from their antics and joking.  All in all though at the end of the day, we’d all laugh about it.  While I was thinking of our departing member I noticed you walking over with other kids, it was funny though because it seemed like you were hard to get along with, or that you and I would never click ever because it seemed like we couldn’t communicate well enough with one another.  I didn’t really dwell nor cared much for it because I had her, she took most of my attention when Megu left.

We weren’t really that close to begin with and I don’t know why but I could communicate with Megu and Umeda-san better than I could with you or the rest.  I didn’t think it mattered to you either since you usually hung around Umeda-san and other members of our agency, having your own fun with some of the members of Berryz.

End of Flashback #1

Flashback #2

“Captain!!” I hollered down the hall to the Berryz leader

Shimizu Saki turned and noticed me running towards her and I don’t know if it is just me but it seemed like she was nervous or something “What’s up?”

“Have you seen her?” I asked for the whereabouts of my girlfriend.  We had officially became an item within the group, 2 months after Megu’s departure, and most of the kids and probably very few of the senpais knew of us.

“Er…no…I haven’t” Saki didn’t sound convincing but that could be that she’s thinking of upcoming events or something, she’s a reliable leader so it wasn’t uncommon.

I waved my thanks and goodbye as I continued to search for my girlfriend, just thinking that we are together and I could feel a smile growing on my face.  As I was passing one of the rooms, I noticed some noises of things falling or being thrown so out of curiosity, I took a quick peek inside and was shocked at the scene in front of me “STOP!!!!” I shouted out before fist meets face.  They both looked at me, started but quickly pulled apart.

I ran up to my girlfriend and examined her injuries “What’s going on?” I asked her but she looked like she was in pain so I glared at the perpetrator “What are you doing?” You didn’t answer, you just looked away avoiding my glare.  I didn’t care that you had injuries of your own all I know is that you had the upper hand because you were the one standing whereas my girlfriend was on the ground.  I directed my attention to her once more “Babe, are you okay? What’s going on? Why are you guys fighting?”

Before she could answer the door flung open and in walked my one-sans huffing and puffing, in which I assumed they have been running here.  Once they caught their breaths one of them walked up to me “Are you guys okay?”

“Ask her that question” I spat glaring at you, you didn’t answer still

“Come on, let’s get them cleaned up” Tanaka Reina helped me lift my girlfriend off the floor and walked towards the door, whereas Umeda-san stayed behind by your side

“I expected better from you, why would you do this? I thought you would consider me as a friend, but obviously not if you’re hurting the people I care about”  I spat before heading out.  From the corner of my eye I could see Tanaka-san give you a look I couldn’t really decipher, it was mixed with apologetic and sadness ‘Why should I be apologetic? Why does Tanaka-san need to feel apologetic for me?  You were in the wrong here’

End of Flashback #2

Needless to say, I was upset at you for quite awhile, I would only talk to you and act friendly towards you in front of the cameras and the public but once they were off, I would quickly walk away with my girlfriend.  From time to time when we were working together I would hear you whisper “I’m sorry” as I walked away but I ignored it, sorry doesn’t cut it.

I didn’t know what was going on but soon I felt my girlfriend drifting away from me, she didn’t have the time for me anymore,  her moods weren’t the greatest and was easily agitated when she was with me.  I thought it was because she was still upset at the fight that she had with you so I didn’t blame her or voice the hurt I felt when she was upset, yelling and screaming at me over the smallest things.  I never did ask why you were fighting because it slipped my mind, I was so absorbed with taking care of her that I just forgot to ask for details or reasons.  I soon found out the reason behind the shift in her behaviour, the reason she didn’t have time for me…

Flashback #3

“Chisa!” both Chisa and Nakky turned towards me and by the looks of their faces it seemed like they were troubled but I assumed I was interrupting their lover’s squabble.  “Have you seen my girlfriend around?”

Chisa’s face darkened at the time but I assumed she was annoyed at my interruption “N-no, no we haven’t right Chisa?” Nakky answered and nudged Chisa

“Stay away…” Chisa uttered but was stopped by a jab that Nakky threw at her side

“Chisa!” Nakky scolded before turning towards a very confused me “Sorry Chisa and I were having an argument so she’s a bit grumpy that she didn’t have a retort for my latest reasoning” Nakky pulled Chisa away and from a far I could see them in another squabble.  I shrugged my shoulders and continued my search through every room in every corridor.

As I passed through doors, I saw that Saki-chan was talking to you about something, with Tanaka-san and Umeda-san on the side and it seemed like an argument was escalating from the looks of the facial expressions everyone bore.  I was curious of course, so I leaned closer to the door “You can’t do this to yourself! Why are you doing this?? She has a right to know”

“Saki-chan, calm down” Tanaka-san placed a hand on Saki’s shoulder in which Saki-chan turned around taking deep breaths.  Tanaka-san then turned towards you “Saki-chan has a point though she has a right to know, you can’t hide it from her forever, one day or another she’ll find out”

“Better another then” you spat in which caused all 3 of them to sigh a heavy sigh

“You’re a hopeless case but I can understand, I just hope you know what you’re doing” Tanaka-san empathized before turning towards the door in which I had ducked and quickly went on my way to find my girlfriend once again.

I knew I was being stubborn for not forgiving you and it did take a lot of effort on my part to remain angry.  At times I would miss the fun we use to have, we weren’t the closest in relationships but we were both working hard at the time to get to know each other, but then when I look at my girlfriend I couldn’t help but be upset again.  I shrugged off my thoughts, if thinking about it gets me upset, why think about it at all right??? Besides I have a task at hand, finding my other half.  I searched a bit longer when I heard sounds in another room

“Tee hee, you’re going to get us caught again” a voice I couldn’t really put my finger one said

“Oh please, no one is around this time, I checked.  Now come here” a voice I did recognized answered

“What about your girlfriend? I feel bad for doing this to her, I mean she’s one of my best friends…I think we should tell her already” Realization hit me hard as I finally pin-pointed the owner of the voice

“Babe, I thought we’ve already discussed this!!!! If you don’t want to lose your best friend then we have to keep this from her.  I’m only staying with her to make you happy remember? You said you didn’t want to see her hurt”

“I know, but…but I don’t know what to do!! I don’t want to see her hurt because she really likes you but if she knows about us, I’ll lose her as my best friend and I don’t want to do that but I can’t help but feel jealous at times when she’s around you and your all cuddly and stuff”

“Jealous? You get jealous? Awww you love me, and you say you don’t” she teased giving a light chuckle “but I get jealous when others are around you too”

I HAVE HEARD ENOUGH!!!! I barged into the room just as they were about to kiss “HOW COULD YOU? HOW COULD YOU GUYS DO THIS TO ME?” tears threatening to fall.  They pulled apart at my intrusion, wide-eyed in shock

“Listen we can explain” my girlfriend, or shall I say ex-girlfriend started

“Oh I think I’ve heard enough as it is and…I think I’ve seen enough” I stormed out of there when my tears were about to fall, my pride wouldn’t let them see me cry, running aimlessly as my vision began to blur from my tears.

I ran outside the office building and I could have sworn someone calling out to me but I continued to run.  I didn’t look or think as I crossed the street in which I didn’t realize there was oncoming traffic until multiple honks were heard.  I looked up at could see the outline of a truck, through my blurry vision, approaching me but I didn’t move, fear running through my entire body.

I felt someone push me out of the way and onto the ground, I heard screeches of the tires, honking, shouting even of random things at the same time while I was still shaken up from my near death encounter.  I stayed on the ground trying to breathe again and regain conscious of what had just happened when I felt arms around me.  I looked up to see Tanaka-san, she had tears in her eyes as she hugged me tight “I-I’m fine oneesan…I’m…I’m just shocked”

She pulled away and smiled weakly at me but tears began to fall “T-that’s great!...L-let’s get you…you out of here” she pulled me up and from behind her I could see the truck that almost hit me and a group of people around it.  I could see other senpais and other kids there too but Tanaka-san was taking me away from that direction

“W-what’s going on over there?” I pulled my hand away from her grasp as I started heading towards the accident

Tanaka-san grabbed hold of my arm “L-let’s go! C-come on!” I could sense something was off, Tanaka-san didn’t answer my question

I got out of her grasp again “Who just saved me? Who just got hit?” Tanaka-san hesitated and it was my cue that I should go see for myself

“Don’t! D-don’t go!” I ignored Tanaka-san and ran to the front of the crowd.  As I approached closer and closer to the crowd I could finally hear what the yelling and screaming was about

“Get an ambulance!/ Call for an ambulance quickly!!!”

“Stay with us!!!”

“You can’t leave now!!!”

“Stay strong”  I could hear the quiver in some of their voices, the fear and even hear the crying that was occurring from the senpais and kids

I finally pushed my way to the front in which I almost collapsed at what I saw…There you were, bloody and weak, cradled by Umeda-san and Saki-chan, who were crying profusedly.  My legs gave way but before I hit the ground, Tanaka-san caught me “I’ve got you”

It was then that Umeda-san and Saki-chan looked at me.  You smiled weakly at me, as I was crying non-stop.  I moved closer to your body and crouched down “W-why?”

“D-don’t worry…*cough*” blood had started seeping in Saki-chan’s clothes indicating you were bleeding at the back of your head, blood was also spilling out of your mouth “Everything…e-everything will be…*groan* be alright” you managed to finish

I took hold of your hand, it felt cold on contact “*sob* y-you can’t…*sob* leave like this!!! *sniff* you can’t!!! N-not *sniff* not when…when…”

I felt your hand try to give mine a squeeze “S-shhhh…I-I’m not leaving…I never *groan*…never will…with you,…with you, I’ll always…be” as if in slow motion, your eyes rolled to the back of your head and closed themselves, hand slipped out of mine and fell to the ground with a thud

Everyone around fell silent for a moment before we all hovered closer to your limp body calling out your name, reacting to what we had hoped was not the case.

End of Flashback #3

“Hey!” I was snapped out of my walk down memory lane and turned to see Saki-chan, Umeda-san and Tanaka-san

“Thinking of her again?” Tanaka-san asked in a weak smile but also a worried tone

I smiled and nodded “Don’t worry Tanaka-oneesan, I’m okay, she…she promised with me, she’ll always be”

[rndmnwierd]

Wahh, sad. And I can't even figure out who's dead and who's narrating.
