@kurosawa87: yeh, Reina's just being... emo  :(

@Ada: I decided that I would "finish" part of the TanaKame arc.  TakaGaki is coming in a couple chapters~  :D

@oddball: Yeah, at that time, Aika was pretty confused about things. At that age, you don't really have the will to fight for things.  When the going gets tough, you give up.  That's what she did  :cry:

@Thor87: OMG i thought I had updated already! I mean, I had the chapter...  :shocked


Thanx for the comment, guys!  This update is REALLY short.   XD
It's kind of like a linking chapter between the previous important chapter and the next important chapter  :P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 27

   “This was not what I meant when I said High-Queen has to maintain the good ranks.”

   Tsunku threw down the newspaper on the table.  The headlines read, “High-Queen: Why Cry?— Pop Idol Duo Breaks Down”.  Ai and Reina sat stiffly, staring down at the table.  Risa and Eri sat across them in the same position.

   “Girls, it’s good that you’re getting emotional about the song,” Tsunku continued.  “Getting teary is okay too.  But not straight out crying!  And both of you too!  Reina, you couldn’t even hold that one note!  What is up with you girls?”

   “We accept the fact that we made a mistake, Tsunku-san,” Ai said calmly.  “But I wish you would weigh out our good facets and bad facets instead of just focusing on scolding us.”     Ai looked up at Tsunku with a steady gaze.  The producer cleared his throat.

   “Well… I guess I should commend you for making Top 5 on the Oricon…” he said in a low voice.

   “Screw Top 5,” Reina muttered.  “We got 1st, damn it.”

   “Yes, and Weekly First…” Tsunku agreed.  “That is a pretty good result there.  But still, it was your first live recording for this single.  It was unprofessional to cry in the middle of the performance.”

   “We understand,” Ai answered.  Reina cussed under her breath.

   “Okay then… there’s no other business at hand so I guess I’ll cut this meeting short,” Tsunku said, sighing.  “Congratulations, High-Queen.  Congratulations, Niigaki-san on your first big break.”

   “Thank you, Tsunku-san,” Risa said, pushing herself up from the chair. 

   Everybody started to pile out of the room.  Tsunku had already disappeared somewhere while the four girls stood in the elevator.  Ai glanced at her song writer.  Risa noticed this but kept her gaze straight. 

   When the elevator finally reached the first floor, Ai and Reina put on their sunglasses and briskly walked out at a fast pace.  Eri hesitated for a while, but then started walking after them.  Risa grabbed her shoulders and spun her around.

   “What are you doing?” she whispered loudly.  “Why are you going after them?”

   “Remember how I told you to trust me?” Eri reminded.

   Risa bit down on her bottom lip.  She had a worried expression but she let her friend’s shoulder go.

   Eri ran across the front lobby.  High-Queen was at the door already.  Before Reina could take a step outside, the turtle grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

   “Wait… wait…” Eri huffed.

   “Don’t touch me,” Reina said in a low voice, glaring.

   Eri immediately let go.  “Meet me at the park tomorrow at noon,” she said.

   “What?” Reina asked.  Her expression was a mixture of confusion and irritation.

   “Tomorrow!  Park!  12 o’clock!  You have to promise!” Eri demanded.

   “I don’t need to promise you anything,” Reina shot back.

   “You have to come!  You absolutely have to come!” Eri shouted.

   “Could you lower your voice?  This isn’t some football stadium!” Reina growled.

   “You absolutely have to come!” Eri insisted in a loud whisper.  She looked at Reina with plain determination and desperation swimming in her eyes.  She could only see her own reflection in the singer’s sunglasses but Eri knew Reina was looking at her.

   “… If I feel like it.”  With that, the idol turned back and walked out of the building after her leader.

   “Tomorrow,” Eri thought.  “Tomorrow, I’ll find the real Tanaka-san.  Tomorrow, I’ll see if I did the right thing or not.  Tomorrow will either be the day of healing… or the day of more pain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next chapter is DEFINITELY more important  :)
I dunno if I'll update again tonight... we'll see  :grin:

@kurosawa87: yup, next chapter.  :D

@Thor87: yeah, that was like a linking chapter so it was short... here's the long one  XD

@kawaii beam: yay! I pulled out another lurker~ :twisted:


thanx for the comments, peeps~  :cow:

Here's the long chapter!  Reina/Aika confrontation!!!  :panic:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 28

   “Mitsui-san, are you feeling okay?”

   “I’m fine, Kamei-san.  I think you’re more nervous than me right now.”

   Aika laughed out loud.  Eri smiled a little. 

   “I guess you’re right.  I just keep on wondering whether it was… right to bring you here.  Whether it’s right to let Tanaka-san meet you.”

   “I’m wondering the same thing,” Aika replied.  “Whether I should be here… Maybe I’ll hurt Ren-chan even more today… but we have to try, don’t we?”

   Aika flashed her brilliant smile.  Eri nodded and grinned back.  This girl just radiated happiness all over the place.  She was always smiling, even when she was sad.  Right now, she was about to meet her ex-girlfriend that she had dumped, yet she was still smiling.

   “It’s almost 12 o’clock,” the younger girl remarked. 

   “She should be here soon,” Eri assured. 

   The two girls were sitting on the bench together.  They could see the park gate about ten meters away.  They tried not to look but they both knew all of their attention was focused on the park entrance.

   Eri noticed a black open-top car passing by.  After a couple seconds, the car passed by the entrance again but it was heading towards the other direction: it had a made a U-turn.  The car parked in the big empty space in front of the entrance. 

   Eri immediately recognized the petit girl getting out of the car.  She was wearing a black miniskirt with black boots.  She was wearing a purple sweatshirt over a gray tank top.  Her hair was in the usual style with two small curly ponytails on each side of her head; the rabbit hair.  She had sunglasses on and had her hands were shoved inside her sweatshirt pockets. 

   Eri stood up.  Reina noticed her, and started to walk towards the bench.  Then, Aika stood up from behind Eri, and revealed herself to the idol.  Reina stopped dead in her tracks.  It was hard to interpret her emotions because of her sunglasses, but Eri could see that her body had stiffened up.

   For a moment, it looked as though Reina was going to turn back and walk away.  Before she could find out whether her prediction was correct, Eri ran over to the singer, took her wrist, and dragged her over to the bench.  Reina shook of the older girl’s hand when she was within three feet of Aika.

   “Don’t touch me,” Reina said in a low, threatening voice.

   Eri looked back and forth from the singer to the student.  Aika’s gaze was steady as she looked straight at Reina.  The yankii was looking down to the side, her emotions still concealed by her sunglasses.  Aika smiled.

   “It’s been a long time, Ren-chan,” she started.

   “Did you do this?” Reina asked Eri, ignoring her ex-girlfriend.

   “I figured you two might have some things to talk out,” the older girl explained.

   “We have nothing to talk about,” the singer replied.

   “Liar,” Eri contradicted.  “You know better than anyone else that you have unfinished business with Mitsui-san.  I’m going to leave you two alone.  I’ll be at the entrance.”

   Eri looked towards Aika.  When she smiled in reassurance, the turtle nodded and looked at the idol to give her a firm glare.  Reina ignored her.  With that, Eri turned back and walked away from the bench.

   There was silence for a while.  Aika continued to gaze at her ex-girlfriend while Reina continued to look away to the side, her body completely frozen.

   “You’re still the same after three years,” Aika remarked, breaking the silence.  “You haven’t changed a bit.”

   “I have nothing to say to you,” Reina said coldly.

   “Well, I do,” Aika replied back.  “Kamei-san suggested the idea of talking to you to me.  But in the end, it was my choice to come here.  You don’t have to say anything.  I’m going to talk so you have to listen.”

   Reina turned her head towards the younger girl but her eyes were still fixed to the ground.  Aika smiled.  She was satisfied with the fact that Reina seemed to pay attention; just this little action was enough for her.

   “I’m going to tell you a secret, Ren-chan,” she started.  “Three years ago, when I said I hated you… I lied.  I didn’t hate you at all.”

   “I know that,” Reina replied in a low voice.  “You weren’t very convincing then.”

   “But it still hurt you.  So I’m sorry.”

   “Apologies don’t change anything.”

   “I know they don’t.  But it’s better than nothing at all.”  Aika paused for a moment to examine Reina’s face.  It was still hard to make out her expression.  “Here’s another secret: I didn’t hate you then… I actually loved you.  More than anything in the world, I loved you.”

   “Too late.”

   “It is too late.  But that’s not my point,” the younger girl insisted.  “My point is that you did nothing wrong back then.  It was all my own weakness.”

   “Weakness?”

   “Yes.  You always had… people around you, Ren-chan.  People that loved you.  I wasn’t sure if my love for you was strong enough, for me to have a closer place in your heart than anybody else.  I wasn’t strong enough to handle the stress, the doubt, the jealousy…”

   “… You kept all those emotions from me.”

   “Yes, I did.”

   “You kept all those feelings bottled up…”

   Reina’s hands curled into a tight fist as she clenched her teeth.  Her voice wasn’t as guarded as it usually was.  She had a softer tone now, more desperate. 

   “Why didn’t you tell me?  I could’ve… I could’ve helped you…  I could’ve supported you if you told me.  Why… Why couldn’t you just hold on to me…”

   Aika slowly moved her hands towards Reina’s face.  She gently removed the sunglasses from her face as the singer lifted her head.  Her cheeks were streaked with tears; her eyes were filled with resent and regret.  Her lips trembled in anger and misery.  Aika smiled sadly.

   “You’re right,” she said.  “I should’ve held on to you.  No matter what, I should’ve tried to fight off the doubt in my heart.”

   “Then why…?” Reina sobbed.  “Why didn’t you?”

   “Because I was so young, Ren-chan,” Aika replied, her shaky smile plastered on her face.  “I was only a second year in middle school.  I didn’t know if I could make such a commitment, even to you.  Staying with you and standing all the doubt… it wasn’t a decision that a 14-year-old girl could easily make.  I wasn’t mature enough to know my love for you was something that could fight off even the worst misfortune.  I know that now.  But…”

   “It’s too late,” Reina finished.

   “It’s too late,” Aika agreed.  “After what I put you through by leaving… that’s not something we can change.  All I can do is promise you this: the next time I fall in love, I won’t give up no matter what.”

   “… and I’ll never let go, no matter what,” Reina promised, tears flowing uncontrollably down her cheeks.

   “I’m holding on to that promise,” Aika laughed.  Little teardrops started to travel down from her eyes as well.  She took Reina’s hand and placed the sunglasses on it.  “Chin up, Ren-chan!  I’ll never have doubt in love again.  In return, you can’t ever let love ruin your life.  Stay strong.  Be the Tanaka Reina I know.”

   Reina hung her head and cried out softly for a while. 

   “Never make the same mistake twice,” she said, her voice cracking.

   “Never make the same mistake twice,” Aika echoed.  “I won’t give up, and you can’t let go.”

   Reina bit down on her bottom lip.  She wiped away her tears with her sleeves and composed her face.  She put her sunglasses on, concealing her blood-shot eyes.  It seemed as though she had never taken it off in the first place.

   “Take care of yourself,” she whispered.

   “You too, Ren-chan,” Aika smiled.  “Sayonara.”

   “Sayonara.”

   With that farewell, the yankii turned her back towards the younger girl and walked away.  Aika watched her previous lover getting further away from her.  She smiled as she turned and started to walk towards the opposite side.

   “Stay strong, Ren-chan… Sayonara.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think that'll probably be the last of Aika... I don't see how I can fit her in anywhere else :depressed:
But Reina's problem is basically solved now... so I'm gonna get to working on some TanaKame  :inlove:
Oh, and TakaGaki will come into the picture more now  :twothumbs
until next time...  :byebye:

Ah~ I love waking up in the morning and checking for comments~ it give me energy!  :cow: XD
So next, I'm planning on shifting into more of the TakaGaki arc  :onioncheer:
(they were supposed to be the main couple, I have NO idea how I elaborated so much on Eri)  :grr:
But TanaKame will still be there~  :shy2:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 29

   Eri kept on fidgeting by the park entrance.  She would decide to take a peek into the park to see how Reina and Aika’s conversation was going, but then she would stop herself and lean back on the brick wall again.

   “What am I doing?” she thought.  “They’re having a private conversation.  Why am I waiting here anyway?  Mitsui-san’s home is the other away… Tanaka-san’s car is right here!  That means I’ll run into her; it’s not like I can ask her about the conversation.  Maybe I should just leave…

   As soon as Eri turned, something pulled her back by her shirt. 

   “Where do you think you’re going?” the familiar low voice whispered into her ear.

   Eri jumped back and whipped around to face the singer. 

   “Tanaka-san!” she yelled.

   “You’re so loud…” Reina grumbled.  She turned and walked around her black car to the driver’s seat.  Eri ran over the opposite side of the vehicle to face the singer.

   “Wait!” Eri yelled, stopping Reina from getting into the open-top car.  “Um… so… how did it go?”  Eri, you idiot!  You’re not supposed to ask these kinds of things!  But I really want to know…

   Reina looked at Eri’s expectant yet hesitant expression.  She looked away.

   “Thanks…” she mumbled.

   Eri’s eyes widened.  Her mouth dropped open.  Did… Did Tanaka Reina just thank her?  The Tanaka Reina?  It was impossible to figure out her expression because of the sunglasses but… her tone of voice was different now.

   “Tanaka-san… why did you just say?” Eri asked in awe.

   “You heard me the first time,” Reina said, a little more loudly.

   “No, I didn’t hear you!” Eri insisted, her lips curving up a little bit from amusement.  “Say it again!”

   “I said…” Reina sighed, avoiding eye contact, “thanks.  It helped… kind of.”

   Eri beamed.  So Mitsui Aika really had cleared up Tanaka Reina’s heart.  She was free now; free from the blindness and the heavy weight on her shoulders.  The one chain that was holding her in the past was now broken.  She can move on now…

   “Get in,” Reina ordered, sliding into the driver’s seat.

   “What?” Eri said, doubting her ears.

   “Are you always loud because you can’t hear yourself?” Reina said.  “I said get in the car.”

   “Uh… why?” Eri asked as she obeyed.

   “I’m driving you home.”

   “What?”  Eri blinked furiously.

   “You really do need to go see a doctor about your hearing,” Reina said.  “Put your seatbelt on.”

   The older girl stared at the idol for a while.  She could tell Reina wasn’t going to wait forever, because she started the car and grabbed the handle without hesitation.  So Eri plugged in her seatbelt and stared straight ahead.  A smile slowly crept on to her face.

   “Tanaka-san must be relieved too…” she thought.  “Takahashi-san did say she actually is a very nice person… I guess it’s true.

   “I don’t understand you,” Reina suddenly said.

   “What about me?” Eri asked.

   “Why did you bother to tangle yourself up in my business?  Why would you do this for me?”

   “I didn’t do it for you,” Eri said.  “Well, I guess it was partly for you, but it was also for me.  One thing I can’t handle is a guilty conscience.  If I left you crying, I felt like it would bother me for the rest of my life.”

   “There was nothing for you to be guilty about.”

   “I guess ‘guilt’ isn’t the right word… But you know what I mean.”  Eri turned her head and flashed the driver a smile.  “Let’s just say I’m too nice for my own good, and leave it at that.”

   “And too stupid,” Reina mumbled.

   “Is this your car?” Eri questioned, ignoring the yankii’s last comment. 

   “It’s Ai’s,” Reina answered curtly.

   “So are you driving me home as a way to thank me?” Eri questioned playfully.  “Because I think you owe me a lot more than this.”

   “I’m driving you home because I feel like it,” Reina said.  “… And there’s some business I need to take care of with your friend.”

   Eri looked the singer with a confused expression, but Reina didn’t say more.  The rest of the car ride was pretty silent, except for Eri’s occasional sputtering from her hair being blown into her face.

   Finally, the black car stopped in front of a white house.  Eri got out of the car and walked towards the front door with Reina trailing right behind her.  The older girl unlocked the door and went inside.

   Reina examined the house as she took off her shoes.  Right across from the front door was the stairs to go up.  To the left was the living room; to the right was the kitchen. 

   “Kameha, is that you?”  Risa’s voice came from the room on the right, mixed with sizzling sounds.

   “Yup,” Eri answered, walking towards the kitchen while motioning to Reina.  “Did you just wake up?  It’s already way past noon and you’re having eggs?”

   “There was nothing else to eat,” Risa complained, not looking up from the stove.  “We should get more of those microwaveable stuff and canned foods.  You know… some soup, pasta, fruits… things like that.”

   Risa finally turned around and placed the sunny-side-up egg from the fry pan to the plate.  She picked up the plate and walked around the counter to place it on the table.  She looked up with a smile for Eri, but her face dropped when she spotted Reina right behind her.  But she quickly recomposed her face and cleared her throat.

   “Tanaka-san,” she greeted.

   “Niigaki-san,” Reina replied, taking off her sunglasses.

   “Risa-chan, Tanaka-san has something to say to you,” Eri explained.  She smiled at her friend, to indicate that her previous problem was solved.

   “Okay,” Risa said calmly.  “What is it?”

   “I know you fought with Ai because of me,” Reina started, her gaze piercing through Risa’s eyes.  “I want you to go make up with her.”

   “That’s not your business,” Risa said.

   “Yes, it is,” the singer insisted.  She sighed.  “I’ve… done some inexcusable things.  I regret it and I apologize to both you and Kamei-san.  But Ai… Ai had no part in this.  So don’t blame this on her.”

   “Why do you even care?” Risa shot back.  “Aren’t you supposed to care only about yourself?”

   “… I’ve been with Ai for a very long time,” Reina replied quietly.  “She’s done many things for me that I’m grateful for.  Now, I should help her.”

   Risa turned her head to the side.  Reina took out a piece of paper from her pocket and placed it on the table.  It was an advertisement for a club.

   “We went here last night,” the yankii started.  “Ai can’t handle alcohol very well, but she drank even more than me.  I stayed sane enough to get both of us home.  When I woke up today, she was already gone.  I’m assuming she’s here.”

   “Why are you telling me this?” Risa asked.

   “Because you’re the one who has to go talk to her if Ai is to return to her normal self,” Reina answered.  “She’s going to lose it real soon.”

   The two girls stared at each other for a while, testing each other’s sincerity.  Reina turned and walked out of the house without another word.  Eri hesitated for a moment, and then looked at her friend.

   “Risa-chan—”

   “I won’t go,” Risa said determinedly.  “I have nothing to say to her.  I won’t go.”

Okay. I have to go imagine some TakaGaki scenes now...  :luvluv1:

@Swtme03: GAH I really have to get better at writing some TakaGaki/TanaKame scenes :bleed eyes:  The relations will come later, sry~ :twisted: aww thanx, that's so sweet!  :wub:

@Ada: well. TakaGaki's not up to THAT part of the relationship.... yet. :twisted:

@kurosawa87: TakaGaki's coming~ XD

@Thor87: I'm trying to think of something exciting.... GAH  :P


Thanx for teh comment guys~ I guess you were all waiting for the TakaGaki arc, huh? :D

I'm gonna be REALLY honest... I got writer's block. I think  :shocked

After this chapter, I have no idea what to write. I know where I'm going with it but I dunno how to get to it. get it?  :nervous

I'll figure it out, I guess...  :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 30

   Risa shoved a fistful of popcorn into her mouth.  Eri laughed out loud while hugging a cushion.  The two friends were watching a comedy movie.  The turtle was fully enjoying the humor of the film while Risa had a deep scowl.  She would occasionally check the clock on the wall with worried eyes, but she would immediately drop back into her persistent, angry mode in a couple seconds. 

   “I won’t go,” Risa thought, chewing on the popcorn without tasting it.  “She should’ve told me that Eri was getting hurt.  She betrayed my trust.  I won’t go…

   “Risa-chan, are you listening?”

   “Huh?”  The bean broke out of her thoughts.

   “I said,” Eri repeated, “I called Tanaka-san before.  Takahashi-san is still not home.  It’s almost 10 o’clock.”

   “Why should I care,” Risa grumbled.  Even though she was still chewing, she took another fistful of popcorn and forced it into her mouth.

   “Risa-chan,” Eri sighed.  “I’m saying this now so you don’t regret it later.  I think you should go talk to her.”

   “No.”

   “The incident between me and Tanaka-san is settled now,” Eri insisted.  “There’s no reason for you to be in a fight with Takahashi-san.”

   “I trusted her so much,” Risa shot back.  “Yet she didn’t tell me the most important thing.”

   “She wanted to keep you safe,” Eri argued.  “Sure, maybe she didn’t do it the right way.  But that was her one and only goal.  Think about that.  I’ve already forgiven her, why can’t you?”

   Risa didn’t say anything.  Eri turned her attention back to the movie, hoping her words would take effect on her friend. 

   “Why is it that Eri can forgive Ai-san but I can’t?” Risa thought to herself.  “Is because Eri is just that important to me?  Or… maybe it’s because Ai-san is that important to me.  It’s because I feel so close to her, I expect to know everything she knows.  That’s why when she let me down, it hit me harder.  Because she’s just that… precious…

   Risa jumped up from the couch, startling her friend next to her.  The bean ran to the kitchen where the club advertisement was left on the table.  She grabbed it and ran to the door.

   “Kameha, you can go to bed first if you need to!” Risa yelled as she shoved her feet into her sneakers.

   “Okay,” Eri called back, making a smug face.  “Be careful!”

   Risa dashed out of the house and ran until she reached the city area.  There were lights everywhere, and people were still walking around.  She started to ask around where the club was.  She drifted further and further into an area she wasn’t familiar with, but she didn’t care.  She had to find Ai, wherever she was.

   Finally, Risa managed to arrive at the club.  She spotted a couple making out at the entrance.  As the bean tried to get through, the girl broke away from her lover’s kiss and blocked Risa’s way.

   “Woah, there,” she said.  “I need a form of ID to indicate that you’re at least 20 years of age.”

   “ID?  Damn it!” Risa said out loud.  She had run out of the house so quickly that she didn’t bring her wallet. 

   “Rika-chan, she’s obviously over 20 years old,” the girl’s lover said.  “How old are you, ojou-chan?”

   “Um… I’m 22 years old…”  Risa thought that this person was a boy but now that she looked closely, it was actually a girl dressed like a boy.

   “Yeah, I guess you’re right, Yossy,” Rika said, smiling.  “You can go on ahead.  But don’t tell anyone I let you through without ID check, okay?”

   “Ah… okay,” Risa said.  She finally set foot in the club.  When she looked back, she saw that the couple had gone back to making out.  Rika was giggling.

   Risa quickly pushed herself through the crowd.  The room was really dark, so she had to constantly make sure she wasn’t running into a wall.

   Finally, she came across the large dance floor, surrounded by tables and booths.  Risa quickly scanned the tables.  Ai was nowhere to be seen.

   “Aw, come on!” Risa groaned.  “Does this mean I have to go through the dance floor?  Ugh!

   Reluctantly, the bean started to push through all the dancers.  Most of them were drunk girls wearing frightfully revealing clothes.  Risa felt a hand slide down her back, and she jumped away.  She shook away the chill and continued to scavenge through the crowd of dancers.

   Risa finally spotted a familiar looking girl.  Her hair was long and wavy.  She was wearing a tight, black tube-top dress that barely covered her upper thighs.  A different girl was grinding into her from her back.  Her hands slipped down from Ai’s waist to her thighs…

   Risa frowned as she clenched her teeth.  She marched over and pulled Ai away from the grinder by her arms.

   “Ai-san!” Risa yelled over the music.

   Ai blinked a couple times as she slowly processed who was calling her name.  She smiled.

   “Gaki-san~” the drunk idol laughed.  “What took you so long? I missed you~” 

   She ran her hand down from Risa’s hair, to her cheeks, to her shoulders.  Risa gulped as she tried to focus on the issue at hand.

   “Ai-san,” Risa started.  “I’m taking you home, come on!”  She tried to pull Ai out of the crowd but the older girl backed away.

   “No~” she whined, her eyes half closed.  “I don’t want to!  I want to stay here~”

   Before she could turn back to dance, Risa grabbed Ai’s wrist again, and dragged her out of the dance floor.  The bean couldn’t find the exit amidst all the chaos and started to panic.  When she spotted the bathroom in the back corner, she decided it was better than staying in the large room.  The idol’s whiny protest continued all the way to the restroom.

   Risa opened the door and pushed Ai in.  The bathroom wasn’t half bad; the light was brighter and the floor was nicely tiled.  The drunk idol staggered around in circles while the younger girl stood by the door to prevent any escapes. 

   “What now, Risa?” the bean thought.  “What do you do now?

   “Gaki-san, why are you here?” Ai asked.  Her words were slurred.

   “I came to take you back home,” Risa answered.

   “But I lost you,” Ai said, her face twisting with confusion.  “I made a mistake and you left.  You’re mad at me Gaki-san, aren’t you?”  She hiccupped a couple times.

   “No, I’m not mad,” Risa sighed.  She walked over to Ai and touched her shoulders.  “Please stay still, Ai-san.  I need to think—”

   “Liar!” the idol suddenly screamed.  She pushed Risa to the wall and grabbed her wrists, immobilizing the younger girl.  Risa struggled to break free to no avail.

   “Ai-san, what—”

   “You’re lying to me…” Ai said, her words still slurring.  “You’re angry at me because I didn’t tell you anything… you hate me, Gaki-san, don’t you?”

   “I don’t hate you!” Risa contradicted.

   “But I lost you,” Ai continued.  “You were so mad… you said I hurt you… I’m the one who hurt you…”  Her face twisted in pain.

   “Ai-san,” Risa whispered.  “I’m not mad.  I’m not angry.  You didn’t hurt me.  And I don’t hate you.  I could never hate you.”

   “Really?”

   “Really.”

   “That’s… a relief,” Ai sighed, as she let go of Risa’s wrists and dropped her head onto her shoulders instead.  “Thank goodness… thank goodness…”

   The bean wrapped her arms around the older girl and stroked her back.  At this moment, Ai just seemed like a child who found out she’s being excused from a punishment.  Risa continued to listen to the idol mumble some words of relief until she fell silent.  Risa realized that she had fallen asleep from the steady breathing in her ear.  The bean sighed and said her own words of relief.

   “Thank goodness… Thank goodness she’s not hurt…”

   Then, she dug through her pocket for her cell phone and dialed a number.  It rang a couple times before a low voice answered.

   “Moshi-moshi?”

   “Tanaka-san,” Risa said.  “It’s Niigaki.  I’m at the club with Ai-san right now.  Can you come pick us up?”

   The bean could've sworn she heard the yankii smirk through the phone.

   "I'll be right there."
