Aya opened her eyes slowly and found herself in an unfamiliar room flooded with the sunshine. The pleasant feeling and the warm travelling over her body made her think that she’d died and was already at heaven.
“You’re feeling better?”
The voice took Matsuura to reality again. Well, she wasn’t dead, but she wasn’t at home either… The gentle expression in the face of the woman in front of her just made Aya to feel more insecure and take a defensive pose.
“Who are you?”
“Kaori” answered the woman quietly.
Of course, the younger didn’t recognize that name and her first reaction was to try to get up from the bed and run away. But she didn’t think about two complications in her plans; her wound and a pair of strong arms keeping her lying on the bed.
“It’s ok, Aya” said a friendly voice “She brought you back”
Seeing her patient a bit more relaxed, Kaori decided to leave the girls alone to talk.
“Maki? How…?”
“We almost lose you. If Fujimoto wouldn’t carried you here in time…”
“Miki…” whispered the younger in an almost inaudible voice, trying to recap in her mind what happened “The last thing I remember is that we argued…”
“Well, you should thank her”
Matsuura stared at her friend and an awkward silence filled the room for a moment.
“Look… Aya, I’m going back home with Eri”
“Great. I don’t wanna be here another se…”
“You’re not coming” said Maki emphatically “We can’t take that risk. Anyway, I’ll be back soon. I’m just going to take the girls here as you sister wanted”
“What?! You can’t make that decision on your own!”
“I did it already” answered Goto with a resolute tone in her voice “You know it’s the only chance we have to survive”

“You’re ok?”
Fujimoto turned to the opened door and saw Rika looking at the blood stained clothes on the floor.
“Yeah, don’t worry. It’s not mine” answered the younger pulling down the importance to the fact that she almost die hours ago.
Her friend’s indifference made Rika angry and, walking towards her, she took Fujimoto’s by the arm, turning her to make the younger look at her eyes.
“When you’ll stop doing this, Miki!? When you’ll stop risking your life as if nobody cared about it?! I don’t wanna lose you too…”
“That didn’t seem to matter when you asked me to go back that day and risk our life for something that was already lost it!” Miki got rid of Ishikawa’s grip “Do you really think that I don’t know that you still blame me for leaving her? You told me then, remember? That I let her die ‘cause she wanted to take you away from me!”
“You know I didn’t mean it…”
“Of course you did!”
Suddenly, a knock interrupted the conversation.
“Miki, you’re lady’s awake”
Hearing Kaori, Fujimoto gave the talk for finished and walked towards the door. But before closing it behind her, she turned to Rika one more time.
“You know? I’d had exchanged my life by hers just to make you happy…”

Matsuura had decided that she wasn’t to stay another minute there. Even if Maki had told her to not move ‘til she came back, Aya couldn’t stay in that place, much less alone. So, without taking in consideration her friend’s prohibition, she made her mind up to go home on her own.
She saw her clothes on a chair next to bed and began to get dressed as quickly as her leg allowed her, until she heard something. When she turned to the door, Aya found a stunning Fujimoto leant against the frame with a wide mischievous smile in her lips, which remembered the younger that she was still half naked.
“Going somewhere?”
“Home” answered Aya while passing her head through the collar of her shirt.
“Well, good luck then”
“Thank you” replied the younger with sarcasm.
Aya was ready to leave the room when one of Miki’s arms blocked the exit.
“Ok.., I didn’t save your life out there to let you now serve them the breakfast in a plate”
“No one asked you to do it”
The younger pushed Miki and tried to get out of the room but Fujimoto wasn’t going to give up so easily and took her by the arm.
“You’re not going anywhere”
“Stop me”
And she did it. Aya fought desperately against Miki’s grip and even tried to punch the older, but with the disadvantage of her wound, Fujimoto had enough time to hold her tightly. With her resistance, Aya just got to lose her balance and take Miki with her. Luckily, the other girl was fast enough to make them fall on the bed. Even so, Matsuura kept fighting and Miki didn’t have another choice but take the younger by her wrists and, using her own weight, make Aya unable to move.
Both breathing heavily, stared at each other without saying a word. Then, unexpectedly, Miki’s lips were on Aya’s.
“What the hell are you doing?!” shouted Matsuura, finally reacting.
“Keeping you here…”
Fujimoto’s words weren’t more than a whisper that caressed Aya’s lips before kissing her again. This time she didn’t stop with the younger’s complaints and deepened the kiss, exploring every inch of Aya’s mouth with her tongue. Soon, Matsuura gave up at fighting…
What the girls didn’t know was that, from the door that they forgot to close because of the fight, a surprised Maki and Yuko were watching the scene.
“See? She’ll be ok” whispered Yuko on Maki’s ear “Miki can take good care of her…”
Aya and Miki were too busy to notice their presence and Nakazawa, as quiet as she could, closed the door in silence to not bother them. Then, she took Goto along with her and began to walk with a smirk in her face.
“We should make a party, don’t think so?”
