@yellow just not this chapter :P

Chapter 7

The day of the funeral, the clouds turned into a shade of ash with the hint of morning mist blessing all the people walking into the door.  Ai shielded her face from the people as she greeted them.  She felt numb from the moment until a touch broke her from bowing.

“Long time no see.”  She greeted as Ai gazed at her.  “It’s me, Yayoi.”

Ai grinned at her as she tried to remember her from high school but her roundish face couldn’t give her previous look away.  Her classmate placed her hand on top of her shoulder and gave her a smile.  Ai wasn’t sure to smile back but she knew someone was comforting her at such a hard time.  She went to her seat as Ai finished greeting everyone in the front before the ceremony started.

The rain hit the roof in a slow rhythm with the ceremony in full stride.  Ai kept her sight at the pictures of her parents smiling with a stern expression towards the crowd.  She could hear the whispers grow louder with every second of the ceremony but kept her posture throughout.  The crowd felt like reporters to her wanting to know what happened the past nine years.

Then, a memory of Reina came to her mind, something that seemed to carry her through the year. Storms were popular during the fall and their bed was the platform to act out to the stage.  One night after a long performance, the younger woman sat up with her body covered with the soaked, white sheet.  She smiled at Ai for a second before kissing her on the forehead.  She saw the brown hair float in the wind and began to see life through love.

“Do you think people will accept us?”  She asked with her eyes aimed towards the moon with the shine bouncing off her cheek.

“No, why does it matter?”  Ai replied as she cradled the woman’s head by her bare bosom.

“It doesn’t matter to me but for you, you know how a man does it.  That pain… is so unbearable.”  Reina looked up at Ai as the elder woman brushed the hair away from her face.  She understood the pain but explaining it would be hard to describe.  It was something that stretched you to the core with straps on your wrists, she was ready to combine them into a sentence but Reina let out a snore which ended the conversation calmly.

Ai turned back for the last minute of the ceremony and calmly bowed her head towards her parents and then towards the crowd.  She walked up to the front to grab her parent’s urns and exited into the car in the back of the church avoiding everyone pooling for answers.

Her uncle glanced back at her for a quick second seeing if she was present in the backseat but never spoke a word to her on the way back to the house.  Ai knew people were going to ask the questions about her disappearance and she was ready to explain it but no one dared to question.  Despite her firm grip on the boxes, she was ready to release them at any time and wail about the nine years of struggle.

The house was a dark shell of itself, with no one inside, she stared outside, and wondered about Risa for a moment before the neighbor caught her eyes staring at him.  Ai took what seemed important in the house and packed it in suitcases on the living room floor.  She wanted to sell off whatever possible to make money for her but knew what to keep: her father’s samurai relic sword.  His cherish possession was now hers to keep in a closet far away from her mind but something else caught her attention.

A letter with scratch marks and eraser burns was on the bed, a plea for her safe return back to the house and an apology for being horrible parents.  Ai folded the letter, carefully creasing it into thirds, and stuck it into her pocket.  She looked up to see the window slightly ajar across from her.

Ai… I love you.

She ran to the window and shut it down hard.  Her heart quickly elevated as the afterlife was suddenly talking to her but the voice of a woman seemed to ring in her ears.  Lonely feelings were filling her up quickly and avoided everything else that seemed not valuable to her, which she regretted not getting before the new family moved in.

Ai stopped the film in her mind of the past ten years.  She never liked the edited version of it but that was left of her memories.  Suppressing them to create new ones and hopefully eliminate the past from her memory.  She sat up in her bed wondering what the news would be talking about other than the incident at the police station but was sorely disappointed and decided to sleep it off to the next day.

She was awoken by the sun beaming through the window with the birds chirping away.  Ai rolled out of bed wondering about the night before thinking it was a nightmare.  She began to pinch herself a few times to only realize the reality of the situation.  Her phone looking like a red Christmas light was blinking on the table, acknowledging that Mako-chan was angered by yesterday, she saw thirteen messages from her before deleting it.

Ai hit Mako-chan on the contacts and heard a few rings before the irritated voice pushed into her mind.  She took a breath before explaining the situation.  After a few minutes, Mako-chan was not satisfied with the explanation and Ai was forced to quit from the coffee shop.  She hung up the phone and crawled back into bed wondered about the rest of the day.

@cmze: I guess I needed to make a chapter of them because it will be fun

@yellow: yeah Ai jobless= more time

Eririn fun next chapter (hopefully) :lol:

Chapter 8

Ai was awoken to a couple of dull knocks on the door, groaning as she rolled out of bed, as she hoped it wasn’t the landlord.  Quickly, her mind conjured up a sad story about being fired from her job as she grasped the doorknob and slowly turned it clockwise.  She opened the door to a familiar face with her fist in midair and the shock in her eyes as she saw Ai again.

“Konnichi wa, Ai-chan.”  Risa greeted with her hand slowly coming down to her side as she waited for a cue to invite her in but Ai blocked the doorway with her body leaning on the left side of the pathway.  Wearing a black blouse and matching skirt, she appeared that she had just left work for the day.  Risa took a step back and assess Ai at the door as she seemed unprepared for her.

“Konnichi wa… Risa.”  Ai greeted with an irritated tone.  “Who told you where I live?”

Risa showed her a text from Mako-chan with a smirk on her face.  She brushed by Ai with a grin and took a seat on the bed as she gazed back at her former neighbor.  Ai felt a chill in the room as she closed the door behind her.  She moved closer to the younger woman and stopped two feet in front of the bed returning a smile back at her.

“Why are you here?”  Ai asked as she took the spot next to Risa.  She looked over at the younger woman and ran her hand over gently over Risa’s back.  Ai felt a quiver from her which entertained her a bit but Risa’s gleaming smile was the counter Ai didn’t expect.

“I was wondering if… you still see me as a friend.  Ten years ago…”  Ai gently lay the younger woman down onto the bed.  Feeling her fingers running along the smooth material, Risa froze as she watched the elder woman controlling the action.  Ai unbuttoned one before intentionally stopping herself and excused herself from the bed.

“Ten years ago… we were neighbors.  How many people have you been intimate with?”  Ai blurted as in frustration of the situation.  She grabbed her blouse and forced her to sit up on the bed with a confused look on her face.  Risa wasn’t sure why Ai wanted to know but she held up her index finger.  “Is it that woman you were with?”

“Eri would never do that.  He…”  Ai held up her hand and strolled to the bed.  She sat down to the right of her and lightly pressed her hands onto her cheeks.  Her face moved to an inch in front of her and reached out and brushed the younger woman’s magenta-colored lips.  Risa let out a gasp as both of their bodies fell to the bed and closed her eyes as she felt the buttons slowly being removed.  Loosening up the clothing, Risa dug her nails into the other woman as she got to the point of bliss.

“Wait.”  Risa gummed as she threw Ai off her.  She stared at her former neighbor with a firm expression before propping herself off the bed.

“Who was the man who broke you?”  She asked with a serious facial expression.

Risa took a deep breath as she walked to the opposite side of the bed and turned toward the window with the view of the street below.  The sun’s glare beamed into the room with the late afternoon setting into evening.  Risa took a few minutes to look back into the room and noticed Ai flat on her back, her eyes foggy from looking at the light for a little too long.  She got to the bed’s edge and bend over to face Ai.

“The man never got to there but he gave me a chance to hope for you again.”  She spat out as she collapsed onto Ai.  “Didn’t you feel the same way?”

“Yes.”  Ai replied quickly as Risa removed herself from her body.  “I wanted to say I’m sorry for the past ten years and if you want to… I can make it up to you.”  Risa curled her lips as she climbed back onto the bed.

The night was filled with groans from ten years of frustration and life that they missed with each other.  Their voices shrilled with every action on that bed, the smell was a mix of perfume and sweat, the view of the moon was the pervert that watched them until they fell asleep in each of their nude bodies.

The sun awoke both of them in bed and rolled out slowly as they scanned each other across the bed.  Risa wrapped herself with the white sheet and walked over to the bathroom.  Ai headed to the refrigerator to find some food for both of them but unluckily it was empty.  She threw on a t-shirt and shorts to prepare her to go out to find food but the weather changed into a gloomy hell and she just stared outside as the tears from the heavens flowed like a broken faucet.  Ai looked back at the bathroom as she smelled the steam coming from there.  She sneaked over to the door and turned the knob slowly to reveal what was behind the door but suddenly froze as a chill ran down her spine.

“Ai, can I borrow some clothes?”

“Sure.  You can choose whatever you want.”  Ai looked up at the clock and headed to her closet for a raincoat and an umbrella for Risa.

She stared at the door for a few minutes waiting for Risa to appear from the bathroom.  She came out with a pink robe and her hair was wrapped in a strawberry-colored towel.  Ai showed her to the closet and chest for her own convenience to borrow clothing for the return home.  Risa searched through her selection and carefully picked out clothing for the trip.

“You have a lot of stuff.”  Risa complimented as she grabbed her selection back to the bathroom.  Ai gathered up the clothes scattered and neatly put them back into the drawers.  She held onto the raincoat and umbrella as she waited for Risa to come out.  Her phone rang on the table and looked at the display for a quick second.

“Kamei is calling.”  Ai shouted and waited for the violent vibrations to end as Risa appeared out in a white t-shirt and blue shorts.  She took the raincoat and umbrella and walked out of the apartment.  Ai stood in the middle of the room for a few seconds before locking up her apartment behind her and followed Risa out to the street.

“Thanks for last night.”  Risa said under her breath as she turned right into the storm.

“Kamei is your girlfriend, right?”  Ai yelled catching Risa by surprise.  “Kamei seems right for you.”

“Do you think she can be as great as you?”  Risa questioned with a smile.

“I won’t answer that.”  Ai stuck out her tongue as a man with a suit bumped into her as he passed into the complex.

The man walked to the first person and stuck his face in front of the elderly woman, pushing her to the ground.  Ai walked back into the lobby and followed the man to the elevator.  He was ten to fifteen centimeter taller than her with a stone face and combed back black hair.  He had a slight hunch on his back as he stopped before the elevator and walked back toward Ai.

“Are you following me?”  His face was an inch from hers before Ai took a step back.

“I live here.  Residents need to use the elevator to get upstairs.”  Ai replied as he stuck his hand into the jacket and showed her folded documents.

“Are you Takahashi Ai?”  She nodded as he handed off the documents.  “I want to ask you more questions but you have to come down to the station.”

“Okay.”  She replied.

He called for a car to pick both of them up and headed toward the station wondering why anyone would have documents, only to realize that he was not an authority figure.

@cmze: I'll try not to

Well this part is fast-moving...

Chapter 9

Ai sat in the passenger seat, calmly sitting there like he was a known person to her.  She felt her calm demeanor would stun the man but he was facing the road that he didn’t notice Ai was sitting next to him with a stern face.  He stopped in a parking stall near a beige building and stepped out to go over to the other side.

“Takahashi-san, you know Kodama-san, I’m her older brother.”  She nodded acknowledging the person in front of her.  “She knew what happened ten years ago, so I brought you here to tell me the situation.

She slouched down in her seat as he opened the door to let her out onto the street.  Ai stepped out and grabbed onto his wrist like a cuff, dragging him to the wall.  Ai breathed slowly as he was anxious to learn the answer but she knew that he may expose his true intentions before she could explain the reason.  Her mouth opened slowly with the mist falling on both of them and a wisp of wind started the conversation.

“She wanted to get pregnant, that’s all I know.”  She breathed as he shook his head.

“I thought she just wanted attention but with the men… I wanted to strangle her but if my father didn’t abuse her…”  He swallowed the lump in his throat.  “She wouldn’t lash out at everyone who wanted to help her.

“She was nice inside…”  Ai let out another breath and shocked the man facing her.

He quickly turned to the car and punched the passenger window.  The glass flew to the driver seat as both witnessed his fist covered in crimson.  He didn’t say another word as Ai was dragged into the backseat and laid on her back on the drive back to the apartment.  Ai peeked for a few seconds realizing he was driving against the traffic.  She ducked behind the seat as the car hit the curve and sent both of them rolling into the other lane.

Ai saw the light from the broken window and crawled out of the car with the crowd slowly growing around the accident.  A pool was growing from the driver’s side as Ai turned to her back with the paramedics shielding her from the crowd.  Their voices were muffled with directions and she just nodded with her body slowly deteriorating.  She thought she saw Risa in the crowd before closing her eyes.

She seems in stable condition…

Who was in the car?

Kodama Hiromasa, age 31, he just lost his sister yesterday.

What is the relationship to the victim?


“Sorry, Hiro.”  Ai mumbled through her heavy lips.

Ai awoke feeling numb throughout her body as she viewed the two doctors facing away from her.  She forced her right arm up feeling that dagger run up to her shoulder and quickly dropped it onto the bed.  The groan of frustration seemed to be loud but none of the doctors turned until a voice came from her right side.

“Takahashi-san, are you okay?”  The muffled cry was noticeable from anywhere and a slight turn of her head revealed a crying Risa with Eri by her side.  The taller of the two doctors rushed over and looked at the vitals before looking back at Ai through his thick glasses.

“Ai-chan, can you hear me?”  Ai nodded slowly through the thick bandage.  “Do you know what happened?”

Ai knew up to the moment before she closed her eyes and just wondered if Risa was in the crowd.  She turned to the right again before turning her attention to the doctor.

“Okay, you were in a coma for two days.”  He took a deep breath before moving onto his next thought.  “The car accident seemed to take a lot out of you but you will heal fine with perfect scars.”  He let out a chuckle before calming down his expression leaving it to the other doctor.

“I’m Kishiyama, a neurosurgeon assigned to you.”  He folded his hands as he gently touched her head.  “You did suffer a concussion but I feel it didn’t affect any part of your memory, so we can past on the test, unless you want to go through them.”  Ai shook her head.

“Well, we shall leave you with your friends and if you need us, just ring.”  The taller doctor instructed as they left Ai with Risa and Eri standing over her like hawks.

The two women were calmly scanning over the bandages on her legs and arms.  The numbness was slowly going away with every minute she was up and closed her eyes praying for the pain to go away quickly.  In a few minutes, her chest started to pulse uncontrollably with cries coming every few seconds bringing the doctors over swiftly grabbing the IV and calming down her pain.

It was the same routine every day for ten days before the pain subsided to a mosquito bite.  The news seemed to die with the pain and eventually the bandages were peeled off revealing the numerous scars to her sight.  Ai slowly ran the longest of the scars on her right arm that ran from her forearm up to her mid-bicep.  She slowly flexed it but felt the strain like a bee sting and relaxed it back to the bed.

She wanted to get out quickly but the pain was unbearable and kept still in bed until the rehab schedule came out in the afternoon.  Fourteen days of struggles and successes ran past by Ai until she was discharged.  The first person that saw her out the door was an unexpected visitor.  She flashed a smile before helping her into the taxi.  Gripping onto her bags, she sat polar to Ai, avoiding any conversation.

She arrived at a complex two stories smaller than hers and followed her to the apartment.  Ai sat on the brown couch feeling it suck her into the bedding as she locked the door and sat next to Ai.

“Risa told me that she enjoyed the night with you.  Your scars feel soothing to me.”  She lifted her shirt revealing the scar across her midsection.  It was half an inch below the lowest right rib to her left hip.  She guided Ai’s hand along the scar with snickering until she got to the end.

“Risa won’t be home for a while.”  She whispered into her ear as her hand ventured to the brim of her shirt.

“Eri, she won’t happy.”  Ai replied as Eri was rubbing her bare midsection.

“It isn’t my fault, that she couldn’t share the wealth.”

You know what that means :twisted:

@yellow: lucky she got out to have fun

@cmze, you gotta read the other rest especially the one that I think gave a hint into my genre I like most

Chapter 10

The steps grew louder as the inside had turned quiet from the hour of fun before.  The knob turned to the smell of flowers and steam filling the room.  The roommate looked around the room trying to find the source of the perfume and found a certain turtle out cold on the couch as Ai came out of the bathroom with her hair wrapped with a towel and a robe covering most of her body.  Risa dropped the bag down onto the ground and bit on her lip before running toward her friend.

“I forgot you were being discharge today.”  Risa confessed with tears running down her cheeks.  Risa pecked her on the cheek before wrapping her arms around her body.  Eri popped her head over to view the two embracing each other.  Feeling that soothing relief, Risa grabbed her bag and presented out her groceries.  However, she looked at the couch again, with her nose wrinkling up while the two stood there like statues.

Risa quickly nodded her head and paced to the kitchen to prepare dinner.  Ai took a step forward feeling her mouth ready to burst with an explanation.  “Ai, can you close the front door?”

Ai pushed the door with her right hand as the crash startled Eri with Risa holding a silver blade in her hand.  She held the point towards both of them with equal timing before resting it onto the counter.

“I don’t mind the mess but… I wanted to welcome her.”  She turned to Eri who was now feeling like a child being scolded by her mother with her attention fully on her.  Ai, as the friend, stepped in front of the turtle wanting the blame to be fully on her as they were in the moment.  Risa looked back at the vegetables for a moment before switching to Ai with her arms extended.

“I made the mistake to use Eri.”  Ai admitted as she saw her eyes soften before turning to the vegetables.  “I wanted to have you instead…”  Ai turned towards Eri as she saw the expression of the turtle with a smile on her face with a tear slowly rolling down.

“We have tonight…”  Risa insisted as she picked up her knife again to tend to the vegetables.

Ai faced the turtle, who was already feeling down from the event, and patted her on the head.  Eri walked to the outer edge of the kitchen and swallowed her last breath.

“Does it mean I have to stay outside again?”  She asked with a clear voice clearly catching Risa off guard as the knife flew into the sink.  Risa turned back towards Eri as she was holding her face out like she was ready for the punishment coming her way but Risa stopped a foot short and flashed a smile.

“Eri, you can join if you want but if we all are going to have fun, I need to lay out futons for everyone.”  Risa said in a motherly tone as Eri gleefully clapped her hands together.  Ai grinned at the news and looked at Eri for a moment before heading to the closet where the extra futons were.

She paused in front of the door as the futons were sitting on the shelf with a chill down on her spine.  “What’s wrong Ai?”

“Nothing it just feels a little chilly in the robe.”  Ai said as Eri ran off to her room with a stack of clothes.

“You should change before you catch a cold… we all would anyway.”  Eri winked as she headed back to the kitchen.

With her mind fully concentrated on the night, she flipped the switch to the closet, and took out the futons for each of them.  Ai placed them on the couch as she carefully placed them next to each other giving a few centimeter of space between each of them.  When it was finished she changed into the change of clothes and smelt the food prepared for them.

Risa laid out a pot of curry onto the counter next to the rice cooker.  Eri took her bowl first and dug a mound of rice for her before scooping the fresh curry onto her steaming rice.  Ai followed with smaller portions with the common reaction of the cook to add more to the bowl.  Risa took the liberty to scoop out the last bit of rice and curry for her as they settled at the table.

“Itadakimasu!”  Everyone shouted as they dug into the hot meal.  Eri and Risa turned towards each other leaving Ai to slowly cherish the flavor of the meal in front of her.  Everything was different in her mind with the hospital behind her now.  She truly enjoyed having people around her but it brought up the wound from two years ago.

Her mind started to wrap around Reina, when she did cook for her.  It wasn’t pretty but it gave her a chance to enjoy another person’s cooking even if it wasn’t great.  She gave Ai a new hope that people can understand the mistakes through one’s life.  Then, it switched to the bed she had been on for two weeks.

The bed was different now; it seemed to give her relaxation instead of the frustration of pity from everyone.   Doctors, nurses, patients, help groups, people were giving their blessings for her speedy recovery but Hiromasa was the worst of the pity.  His voice lingered longer than others, like a big brother expressing his advice for anything coming her way and now he’s off to the afterlife while Ai suffers in living.

Ai wondered why she didn’t perish in the accident.  It was a question no one could answer except for faith in redeeming one’s self.  Someone gave her a chance to redo something that went bad the first time around and it was a life with friends that cared rather than the one that look down on you.

Fifteen minutes of that thought, she began to feel happy about her life but the curry was now a dull paste over a white canvas.  She shoveled it down without the other two looking her way and munched on it as the memories seemed to flow back into her head.  The flow was quick but paced to view it like a film in her head.  She truly wanted to pay for the admission for it.

She tilted her head up as the two were deep in their conversation and shuffled to the sink to deposit her bowl before heading to the futon.  Ai took a seat in the middle one, facing away from both of them as she had another moment to think about those days in the library and the experience of a few hours earlier.  She closed her eyes for a moment and then awoke to the two of them on either side of Ai.

“Who do you think was better?”  Eri asked in whisper as she grinned towards Risa.  Risa saw Ai’s eyes direct towards her and gave her encouraging sign to points towards her as Eri squished her face together to get Ai to look at her.  She gave each of them a stare before swinging her arms in front of her indicating no decision.

“I won’t compare the two for now and I need my rest, sorry we can’t have fun together tonight.”  Ai bowed to both of them before sliding her body under the blanket.  She didn’t want to admit who was the better love but they wouldn’t give it up as Risa scoot closer to Ai from behind and rested her arm onto her body with Eri forcing Ai to put her arms on top of her.  The two jockeyed for position as Ai went into rest mode for the night.

“Good night, everyone.”  Ai breathed.
