But I do hope you like my update.

Chapter 18
"Gomen Takamina" says a pouting Mii-chan
Looking up from her paperwork "eh? What for?" Takamina asks with an arched eyebrow
"For having you come all the way to Hawaii and help me finish up processing our new hotel" sighs Mii-chan sitting across Takamina's desk
"Don't be silly Mii-chan. It's our company for a reason. Plus I could use some down time away from home." Smiles the smaller girl
"Arigatouuuuuuuuu" says Mii-chan jumping out of her seat and heads to Takamina smothering her with a hug
"I can't breathe" Takamina mumbles with her face burried in Mii-chan's arms
"Hm? Did you say something?" Mii-chan finally releases her friend who now seem to be trying to catch her breath.
"I said I couldn't breathe" Takamina lets out a small laugh
"Ay. Gomen gomen." Mii-chan rubs the back of her head sticking out her tongue.
"Hows everything at home?" Mii-chan takes her seat once again across Takamina
"Eh you know. The usual." Takamina looks at the paperwork in front of her.
"I know if I wait, you'll end up telling me anyways. But I'll make it easy for you Mari-chan tells me everything. Now spill" Mii-chan crosses her arms
Takamina lets out a sigh.
Mii-chan continues. "For the record, I think you did the right thing. And I'm not just saying it because we're best friends. I think that it's great you are being so mature about this."
Takamina finally looks at Mii-chan. "You think so?"
"I definitely do" Mii-chan replies with a nod.
"It was hard you know. To say all that and leave her hanging. But I think I'm not just doing it for her. I'm doing it for myself also. We all know I'd always chase after her. That's the type of person I am. But I want to know that it's not just a one sided love you know.. I want to know if she's willing to fight for me too." Takamina says with a frown
"She'd be crazy not to. Mariko and Nyan Nyan always said, that you make girls crazy for you and you're just too naive to notice. Their words not mine. And that Yuko and I could learn a thing or two from you. Again, their words not mine" Mii-chan says trying to cheer up her friend.
"And yet, I'm all alone" Takamina says releasing yet another sigh
"Shut up" Mii-chan throws a pen at Takamina
"Itai?" Takamina rubs her forehead "what was that for?"
"Youre not alone. You have all of us. Let's get out of here. Let's go fishing" Mii-chan gets up from her seat
"But we still have to prepare for the grand opening" Takamina says still rooted on her seat
"Don't worry about it. I have your assistant Yui-han coming to help take care of the minor details. Now let's go fishing!!!" Mii-chan grabs Takamina's arm.
"Fine. I could use some fresh air anyways" Takamina lets out a smile.
-----------
Stretching her arms out breathing in some fresh air. "Ahhhh. A much needed break" Mii-chan shows Takamina a toothy smile.
"We could have stayed in our boat and fished there. I don't see why we need to stay on a small island" Takamina says covering herself from the sun with her sweater.
"I hear there's a lot of fish around this island." Retorts Mii-chan
"It's an inhabited island there's nothing here except for a small cave. Its small and I can pretty much see from one end to another. If there was a lot of fish around here, why isn't there others fishing" Takamina whines
"Yea yea. Stop complaining. And why are you wearing a sweater. You're in Hawaii and it's I'm not sure if you've noticed it's summer" Mii-chan says shooting Takamina with stink eye
"I don't want to get tanned" Takamina snaps back
"Oh. I forgot our fishing gear. I'll go grab them from the boat." Mii-chan runs away before Takamina could say anything
"Always on the run." Takamina shakes her head watching her friend get on the boat.
And just then, the vessel seems to get smaller.
"What the.." Takamina says to herself hoping her eyes aren't playing tricks on her.
Running to the shore. "Oi! Oi! Mii-chan!"
Mii-chan shows herself waving at Takamina with a mischievous smile. "I'll be back later Takamina! Have fun!!"
"Have fun!?!?! You're telling me to have fun!?!?? Get back here now!!!!" Takamina angrily shouts at the disappearing boat.
Takamina paces back and forth uttering angry words at her friend. "Ugh. I. Am. Going. To. Kill. Her."
Walking around the island, knowing the hopeless case she is in Takamina heads to the cave convinced that it is a waiting game and Mii-chan will be back after a while.
Takamina relaxs in the cave finally dozing off to kill time.
After a couple of hours Takamina snaps awake to a faint sound of someone shouting.
"Wait" was all she could hear from a distance
"Eh? Nani?" Now fully awake from her nap, Takamina steps out of the cave to see yet another boat distancing away from the island.
"Eh?" Her eyes still fixated on the boat, "EH!!!!! Chotto Matte!!!!!" The runs to shore seeing two familiar figures appear from the boat.
"E-eh!!!!!!! Mariko-sama??? Nyan-Nyan!?!?!" Takamina screams in surprise.
"You two have fun!!!!!" The two giggle as they float away.
"Two? It's just me." Takamina says to herself losing hope.
"Minami?" Says a familiar voice sending chills down Takamina's spine causing her to freeze on the spot.
Turning to her left, the winded Takamina manages to utter. "A-atsu-ko"
"Hi" smiles the actress causing Takamina to momentarily loose her breath.
"H-hey" Takamina says with confusion in her voice.
"Some friends we have eh" Atsuko says eyeing Takamina who is still processing the current events.
"Yea.. Some friends.." A slight hint of panic visible in Takamina's voice. "MARIKO SAMA! NYAN NYAN! Get back here NOW!!!" She screams after the boat at the distance
"I don't think they'll be coming back anytime soon" Atsuko says sitting on the sand
Takamina releases a frustrated sigh. " I am going to kill all three of them"
"Do you really not want to be alone with me that much.." The actress looks at the smaller girl
Takamina's facial features soften at the statement. Completely oblivious at what the other girl felt. "No no. I'm sorry. It's not that."
Atsuko averts eye contact from Takamina.
Minami takes a seat beside Atsuko. Trying to ease the currently awkward situation. "So what brings you here?"
"To see you. I didn't expect to be stranded in an island though. But Mariko and Nyan Nyan brought me here to Hawaii because they said its where you are." Explains the actress
"Oh." Takamina laughs at the island part.
The two girls watch the main island on the other side of the water silently.
"Minami" Atsuko breaks the silence.
"Hmm?" The midget tilts her head looking at Acchan
"I hate you" Atsuko says punching Takamina's shoulder catching her off guard.
A confused and surprised look occupies Takamina's face. "EH!?!"
Pouting, Acchan continues "I hate you so much for making me feel this way"
Speechless, Takamina just watches and listens as she draws blanks in her mind
"I had been a pain to you Minami. Making you do all the work in our relationship. I have always been horrible at expressing my emotions. But, I just didn't know how it felt like to be loved unconditionally by someone. Then you came along and showed me what it was like. I was overcome with this new and strong emotion that I had no idea how to handle myself, us. I was constantly afraid of losing you. I was afraid of how I would be like if you were to leave me. Because if you were, I knew I would never be whole again. So I kept running every time something came up. I kept looking for an excuse to go. Each time I spent with you are memorable ones. Wether it be an amazing date you've planned or just us staying in doing nothing but lounging on the couch watching TV."
Acchan pauses now gazing at the waves in front of them letting out a sigh.
"I was reluctant to go in too deep with us. But I was naive to think I had the choice. I was too blind to see that I am and was already at the point of no return with you. So if you're still willing to have me.." Atsuko turns to Takamina and gazes into her eyes "I am ready for us. I always have been. I'm sorry for taking too long to realize it "
Takamina smiles at Atsuko, pursing her lips like she always does as if trying to prevent herself from crying. She pats Acchan's head leaning her forehead on the other girls'. "I would have waited forever Atsuko" Takamina says in a whisper loud enough just for the two of them to hear. As if not waiting to share this moment to the world.
Takamina pulls the actress into a hug and in that instant, the taller girl begins to cry in her arms. "It's okay Atsuko. I'm here." Minami continues to pat Acchan's back as she cries.
Finally calming down, they separate from their embrace. "It was so embarrassing" Atsuko says in-between small sobs.
Couldn't help herself, Takamina let's out a small laugh. "Well since we're already here. Let's enjoy this mini island we're in." Takamina stands up brushing the sand off her butt before handing her hand to Acchan helping her get up. "I still would like to go fishing"
"Eh? Fishing?" Acchan shows a confused look
"Yea. Fishing. I love fishing." Takamina replies and within a second realizes something. "Don't tell me you haven't gone fishing before"
"Never.." Pouts the actress.
"GREAT!" Takamina says excitedly. "First times are always good!"
"I guess" Atsuko replies with uncertainty
Minami grabs Atsuko's hand leading the way muttering "Let's go! I think I saw the fishing gear Mii-chan supposedly left in the boat earlier"
Looking at her hand being pulled and lead my Takamina, Atsuko can't help but smile to herself looking at the excited Mimani in front of her.
*******************
"It's been hours. Should we go get them now?" Mii-chan asks the two girls in front of her
Checking her watch, "What do you think Mari-chan." Nyan Nyan turns to the other girl.
"I guess those love birds have had more than enough alone time together to short their issues out." Mariko says with a smirk.
After a couple of the minutes, the three girls arrive to the island docking the boat as they get off to meet their friends.
"Hmm?" Mii-chan let's out scarthing her head.
"Nani?" Nyan Nyan tilts her head looking at the gachapin.
"That's odd" Mariko says
"Nya~~. What is it??" Haruna whines
Looks at the confused model. "We can't see them anywhere." Says Mii-chan.
"It's a small island. We can usually see from end to end." Adds Mariko
"Oh no!" Yelps Mii-chan bursting into a sprint.
"What?!" The two taller girls say in unison
"Get back to the boat ASAP!" Mii-chan runs.
Mii-chan stops on her tracks horrified that her hunch was true. As she watched the boat slowly drift farther away.
A laughing Minami and Atsuko waves at the three girls.
"You three have fun!" Minami shouts
"Yuko will come get you when she arrives!" Adds Acchan
Shaking their heads admitting defeat knowing they deserved it.
Mariko and Mii-chan turns to Nyan Nyan "So when will Yuko get here?"
Haruna puts a finger on her chin, looking up the sky trying to remember. "Tomorrow"
"EHHHHH!!!!!?!?!?!" A horrified look emerges from Mariko and Mii-chan's face
"ACCHAN!!" Mariko yells after the boat
"Oi!!!! TAKAMINA!!!" Screams Mii-chan hopelessly after the boat
